Twitter Lists seeks to change how people network themselves into groups and geographies. This feature allows Twitter users to group their followers into smaller micro lists such as by organizations, affiliations and neighborhoods. This gives users the control to refine their large follower lists into smaller, focused micro communities.
Lists can be personal or public. In categorical searches like finding the best Twitterers who cover Capitol Hill, Twitter Lists are more powerful than using Twitter Search because the Lists filter Twitter feeds and searches don’t.
This new feature is getting a lot of attention, mostly because social media right now is somewhat asynchronous with the ideal of social media. That is, it is hard to meaningfully connect and engage with people with huge lists of fans, followers etc. I predict that more social media sites will enable this type of subcategorizing, so that users can gain greater control over engagement.
So, for example, different messages can be shared with friends than business colleagues. This will enable more targeted messages and relationships, getting everyone close to the true promise of social media.


Sequestration formally arrived late Friday night and is probably here to stay. Whether or not it remains in its current form remains to be seen.
Despite weeks of dire warnings and a classic case of Washington finger-pointing, it appears that Congress and the White House have already moved on to the next fiscal crisis which is the continuing resolution that expires March 27.
The House is scheduled to vote Thursday on a straightforward continuing resolution that would set federal spending through the rest of the current fiscal year without addressing the sequester cuts and other potentially contentious questions.
The measure will pair a continuing resolution for most of government with newly written Defense and Military Construction-VA spending bills. While providing no additional funds to the Pentagon or the VA, the new spending bills would allow them to better manage the effects of the sequester.
The President had already indicated his willingness to work together to avoid a government shutdown.
Regardless, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pointed out in hearings last week, granting greater flexibility for the sequestration cuts might bring better policy results, but would not significantly affect the impact of the sudden reduction in federal spending.
Here is what we do know so far:
* For the remaining seven months of the fiscal year, the defense budget will shrink by $42.7 billion while non-defense programs will take a $28.7 billion hit
* Most of the reductions will come from discretionary spending
* If federal employees are furloughed, it will not begin until April at the earliest
* Military personnel pay and allowances will not be impacted by the sequester, nor will military personnel face furloughs
* Termination of base support contracts as well as military community and base activities would not be felt until early April
* Civilian furloughs could affect military hospitals and clinics because civilians make up 40 percent of the workforce. Patients who currently receive care at military treatment facilities may be forced to seek case in the private sector at an increased cost to the Defense Department and the taxpayer
* Commissaries may have to close one day a week
* Child care services, base schools, teen programs and family services may also be impacted as funding tightens
As we have said on many occasions, this is no way to do business. We agree with the Army’s Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno who said that what the Army needs most is some budget predictability through several years so that end-strength, modernization and readiness can be carefully balanced so we can avoid a weakened force.
AUSA has been urging Congress to solve the sequestration puzzle since March of 2012! If they do not act, it will go into effect this March. The across-the-board budget cuts would severely damage the defense industrial base, and the ripple effects of layoffs and delayed or cancelled contracts could well plunge the national economy into a recession. Should sequestration occur, at a time when our nation faces a wide range of national security threats, equipment, maintenance and soldier training accounts would take the brunt of the cuts; leaving a weakened, less-than ready force.
Please add your voice to ours by sending an email or letter to your Congressmen, urging them to find a compromise and avoid Sequestration.
The fiscal process must be put back in order so that our defense forces can maintain readiness and sustain their ability to defend this nation.
Members and Friends,
As most of you know, our Chapter’s largest effort is to support ‘Our Community Salutes’ each year. This program recognizes high school seniors that have chosen to join the armed services after graduation. Last year on May 2nd, with the help of a few sponsors, particularly Summit Aviation, we were able to recognize 22 senior enlistees and their parents from New Castle County and thank them for choosing to serve their nation.
This year our event will be one of 80 such events around the country, and we hope to invite senior enlistees from all three counties in Delaware. Tim Furlong of NBC10 Philadelphia will return as the emcee and we have invited Dr Jill Biden to be our keynote speaker. As a member of the Blue Star Mothers, Dr Biden appreciates those who join, and understands the emotions of their parents. Wilmington University will again host the event and all of the military services will be represented.
To expand the event and include senior enlistees from all Delaware high schools, we need your help. Wilmington University has been gracious in providing the venue, but I am hoping to find other sponsors and donations to help defray the other costs. When you visit the OCS web page, http://www.ocsde.org, there is an option to Donate to the 2013 ceremony via credit card, Pay Pal or by sending a check. Both AUSA and OCS are 501 © 3 organizations, so contributions are tax deductible. Any support we receive will go directly toward providing a first-class event for our heroes that will depart for basic training after graduation. Help us be the “first to say thank you” to these young citizens.

Co-Chair, Our Community Salutes Delaware
AUSA and the U.S. Army are committed to strengthening the partnership with the National Guard and Reserve. The Secretary of the Army, John M. McHugh, issued the Army Total Force Policy: Fully Integrating the Operational Reserve. This policy states that the active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve, as one Total Force, will provide forces to support Army commitments worldwide.
Gen. David Rodriguez, speaking Oct. 22 at the Maj. Gen. Robert G. Moorhead Guard and Reserve Breakfast before the official opening of the Association of the United States Army’s Annual Meeting and Exposition, said his command’s requirement to provide trained and ready soldiers for the spectrum of missions requires “maximizing training resources” and “inculcating all the lessons we learned in the last 11 years” for the active force, Army National Guard and Army Reserve.
He told the National Guard and Army Reserve audience that he wants to build on the strong partnerships that the two reserve components have built over the last 20 years with foreign military services and foreign governments, and their expertise in crisis response and drug interdiction and “many, many other missions” in the future.
We know that a number of you are on Facebook so we now have a Facebook page as well. We hope that it can be a place where you feel comfortable to comment, post photos, and keep in touch with what’s going on in our chapter to support Soldiers, their families, and those that work for the United States Army. Check out our Facebook page here and tell your friends too: https://www.facebook.com/AUSADelawareChapter
Special agents from the Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) are once again warning Internet users worldwide to be extra vigilant and not to fall prey to Internet scams or impersonation fraud — especially scams promising true love. The victims are most often unsuspecting women, 30 to 55 years old, who think they are romantically involved on the Internet with American Soldiers. People should never send money to persons they meet on the Internet that claim to be in the U.S. Military.

In a recent poll I asked how many TechRepublic members had downloaded Windows 8 Developers Preview. There weren't as many downloads as I would have guessed.
On September 23, 2011, I asked a simple poll question:
Being a person who gets paid to try every new Windows thing that comes out, I guess I have a skewed view of things -- I thought an overwhelming majority of TechRepublic readers would have downloaded and tried Windows 8. I mean, I seem to be getting a ton of opinions as if most of you had downloaded it.
So why have you not downloaded the Windows 8 preview version? Are you waiting for the beta version?

Shrewsbury House was founded by masters from Shrewsbury School in 1903. Its history is inextricably linked with that of the surrounding area and Everton has undergone huge changes over the years. From being farmland and heath 200 years ago, it developed rapidly in the 1800s to become dominated by impressive mansions. It then became one of the most densely populated working class areas in Britain from the late 1800s into the 1960s. Large scale slum clearances and building of high rise blocks in the 1960s, dramatically changed its skyline. Demolition of these high rise blocks and construction of Everton Park in the 1980s, radically altered the area yet again.
Everton’s social history is being researched and recorded by a group of enthusiasts known as the Archive Group. The group meets every week at the Shewsy to review and work on images, many of which have been donated by local residents. Their initial aim six years ago was to build up as complete a picture as possible of the Centre, but the spin-off has been a wider collection of district and street images that is growing all the time. The Shewsy recently celebrated its 110th anniversary and the interest has never been greater in the club and the area around.
The archive team is made up of: Harry Whittaker, Jim Caples, George Marsden, Chris Tyne and Sam Perry. The group is always looking for new members to join them (10.30 am every Friday morning at the Shewsy).
The group’s growing archive comes from numerous sources including the Liverpool Records Office and specialist collections, but many of the real treasures are donated photos that capture things like the 1960s slum clearance programme.

The Nisqually tribe arrived in the area at least 5700 years ago, subsisting on shellfish from the beaches and salmon from Sequalitchew Creek. Captain George Vancouver mapped the area in 1792, and in 1833, the Hudson’s Bay Company established a fur trading post at Fort Nisqually. The fort was relocated upstream in 1843.
DuPont was officially incorporated on March 26, 1912, and was re-incorporated in 1951. DuPont has recently undergone a modern transformation as the modern planned communities such as “Northwest Landing” has been realized. The city is expected to have a built out population of 12,000+.
DuPont is divided into several “villages”, each with their own design style and/or building contractors. Northwest Landing is the most visible due to a sign along the freeway announcing it. Several businesses have opened in the downtown area, but development has slowed in recent years. Hoffman Hill is the largest in size, and houses about 60% of the total population. The Historic Village, a residential area, is the only part of DuPont that is not a modern planned community and is on the registry of historic places. Bell Hill is considered the most expensive area. DuPont has trails and green belts throughout, and is about 95% built out according to the master plan. Sections that remain empty are stalled due to economic conditions, or pre-existing activities that prevent development until completed.
The median income for a household in the city was $52,969, and the median income for a family was $57,202. Males had a median income of $42,946 versus $36,741 for females. The per capita income for the city was $22,742. About 2.2% of families and 4.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.5% of those under age 18 and 2.5% of those age 65 or over.

I Tired...but Grateful
It's now a long trip. Getting close to 12 hours travel, counting the passenger stops twice, numerous stops for road works, and the near choke at tiaong which can only be explained by drivers already losing their cool and any decorum of safety. But as I feel tiredness seeping in, I think of passengers, in droves, still waiting for a ride by late afternoon. Then one bus shows passengers sandwiched along its middle. Tired Lord but grateful for this relatively restful ride. Just please get me home safe Lord.

stop doing things. In my roles of animal control officer and active member of the animal community, I see well-meaning people do things that are actually hurting the cause.
- Stop with pathetic hard luck stories. Everyday I have people tell me that they don't want get a shelter pet because they can't deal with an animal that has issues. Truth is, the big issue that most of those animals have is simply a bad previous owner. A recent study from Petfinder.com discovered that most pets are surrendered for reasons that have nothing to do with the animal. Others are in the shelter because they got lost -- without any form of ID -- and their people never found them. But if all Joe Public ever hears about shelter animals comes from that Humane Society/Sarah Mclachlan commercial, what is he suppose to think?
Instead of "Poor Sadie spent the first years of her life living in a cold backyard and forced to have litter after litter before her heartless owners abandoned her." How about "Sadie is a 3-year old girl was a great smile. She loves car rides, belly rubs and a good game of fetch. She's looking for someone with a strong throwing arm and a bucket of tennis balls." Which dog would you rather bring home?
- Stop assuming every animal was abused by it's previous owner. Some animals -- like some people -- are just shy and sensitive by nature. Some were just poorly socialized. Of course your pet flinches when you yell and raise your fist over your head. I would too! You're being scary and irrational. And here's the best part about dogs: they live in the now. Even if a dog was abused, he's more likely to move on if you stop dwelling on it.
- Stop sending out the graphic pictures. No I don't "need to see them." Seriously. STOP.
- Stop with the judgmental guilt trips. Just because someone isn't doing what you're doing doesn't mean that they don't care. For example, I don't foster. I'm a horrible foster mom and have kept all three foster animals they came into my house. (I don't have room for any more.) I do, however, spend a great deal of time investigating animal cruelty/neglect complaints and educating people on animal welfare. Others may transport, or clean cages, or raise funds, or donate professional services (i.e. photography, landscaping, graphic design). We all have different talents and available free time. It's better for everyone -- especially the animals -- if you focus on what people are doing instead of what they aren't.
- Stop asking for money. All. The. Time. A while back I donated $100 to a local spay/neuter organization. Since then I have received a letter requesting money every 4 to 6 weeks. And this 4-page letter is always accompanied by graphic photos and over-the-top sob stories. Total turn off. And I wonder: how much of my donation has been spent on soliciting more donations? To be honest, I don't even open the envelopes anymore; they go straight to the trash.
- Stop using logical fallacies. There are ads out there that claim just one female cat and her kittens can lead to the births of over 2 million cats in eight years. Mathematically that may be possible -- if all the kittens live, if there is an equal amount of males to females, and if the same amount of kittens are born every time with the same male/female ratio and there's a food source large enough to support all these cats. But realistically we all know it's not possible. And when you use flawed logic and inaccurate statistics people call bullshit and stop listening to what you have to say.
- Stop saying "kill shelter." Its inflammatory and does nothing to help the animals. In my city we have two main shelters: an open admissions shelter (a.k.a. "kill shelter") and a limited admissions shelter (a.k.a. "no-kill shelter"). Our "no-kill shelter" is a privately run Humane Society. Because it is limited admissions it only takes in what it wants, when it wants. And it only accepts owner surrenders, not strays. If the Humane Society feels that your animal is not adoptable or there isn't a place to put it you are sent to the City pound. The City pound is an open admissions shelter. They are mandated by law to take in every animal that is surrendered or picked up running at large. This includes the old ones, the sick ones, the mean ones, and the newborns without mothers. And the Pound has to accept these animals regardless of whether or not there is a cage to put them in. Unfortunately, not everything is adoptable. Some animals have severe health or behavioral issues. Sometimes foster parents willing to feed day-old kittens round the clock are unavailable. And sometimes cage space can't be found for a hundred extra animals. When the shelter runs out of options, animals die. The vet techs who work at the municipal shelter mourn every animal they have to euthanize. Vilifying a shelter, using acrimonious labels and calling the people that work there "Puppy Killers" doesn't help the animals at all. In fact, it turns the public against these open admission shelters which reduces their adoption rates, and in turn increases euthanasia rates. [P.S. The "no-kill" shelters do kill animals with health and behavioral issues. However, if these animals are labeled "unadoptable" then they don't count. Read the fine print.]

The government has also allocated $44.1 million to extend the Great Ocean Road Coastal Trail from Fairhaven to Grey River and provide improved visitor facilities including toilets, swing bridges, viewing platforms, beach access, car parking, free public Wifi locations and waste collection sensors.
Funding to build rock groynes at Apollo Bay to protect the dune, walking path, cypress trees and Great Ocean Road is also included in the 2020-21 State Budget.
“Colac Otway Shire Council has been calling for significant investment to manage erosion, maintain the Great Ocean Road and improve tourism infrastructure such as toilets, for some time,” Cr Hanson said.
“The State Government’s Budget commitments will be important for protecting our communities along the road, this iconic asset and our future.
“Every storm, every high tide has caused increasing concern, with an urgent need to address erosion, particularly at Apollo Bay and Marengo.
“There has also never been a more important time for the State Government to invest in vital infrastructure upgrades, our coastal communities and our local tourism industry.
“Our tourism industry has been hard hit by the COVID19 pandemic and the funding to expand and improve visitor infrastructure shows the State Government’s recognition of the value of the Colac Otway region as a major attraction with huge potential.
“Tourism and hospitality operators need that confidence boost as their businesses move into post- COVID recovery and they look to the future.

Hello and welcome again to a new Post about two piece prom dresses,
I found this style up on the markets since 2015 showing the belly button on this made many schools reject it because of wearing codes they have some parents apposed that as well , so for 2016 I noticed that the waist line was gone up covering the buttom area up to the natural waist
Till now this trend is still up as a standard , I hope it stay so as we have so many ladies found it , its very nice to show up that part of your body as long as the belly button is covered and matched the dress code.
two piece prom dresses could be paired with mermaid fit and flare styles , a ball gown dresses , short cocktail dress, a slit two piece prom dress and this year its introduced with ruffled skirts making it more lovely 🙂 so you can enjoy your prom dance 🙂
Selecting Envious Couture these 2 piece happy Prom dresses
Prom Dresses Ritoot Collection can be found here : http://www.ritoot.com/prom-dresses
Two piece dresses is included in Alyce Prom collection 2017
I enjoyed this Orchid colored ruffled dress
Clarrise and Janique had it with printed floral mermaid for interesting summer prom look
Two pieces skirts came often with beaded work on skirt and halter beaded neckline for more attraction , Amazed by this beaded work designs from Jonathan Kayne please take a look at this
We would love to see all Sherri hill dresses available this season , I got so many calls for sold out dresses , I picked up these 2 pieces beaded worked dresses. Loved the lace embroideries on this nude dress
If you like to turn your two piece dress to a modest dress you can use a piece of sheer or lace to cover up the space between the waist line and up which is fashionable too , this would be a second choice if the two piece trend went off , however its still trending and stylish to consider for 2017 Prom.

The Inheritance cast: Meet the characters in Channel 5 drama
The four-parter stars a number of recognisable faces.
Channel 5 thriller series The Inheritance tells the tale of three siblings, Daniel, Sian and Chloe, whose lives are upended when their father unexpectedly dies and leaves everything to a mysterious woman.
Read on to find out who stars in The Inheritance.
The Inheritance cast
- Robert James-Collier as Daniel
- Gaynor Faye as Sian
- Jemima Rooper as Chloe
- Samantha Bond as Susan
- Adil Ray as Pete
- Kevin Whately as Michael
- Rory Fleck Byrne as Nathan
- Kevin Harvey as Glen
- Larry Lamb as Dennis
- Pauline McLynn as the coroner
- Leah Minto as the solicitor
- Risteard Cooper as DS Morris
- Rocco Cheetham-Karcz as Charlie
Gaynor Faye plays Sian
Who is Sian? Dennis's daughter. She's a single mum who has started dating again.
"Sian is quite strong-willed and will call out any BS," said Faye. "Her choice in men, however, is pretty poor. She is weak when it comes to the opposite sex. She falls for the wrong type of men all the time. She was in a long-term relationship and that went awry, and she doesn't want him anywhere near her or her son Charlie.
"She's the most maternal sister, she holds the family together and is the glue of the family. Her mum was a massive figure in her life. Sian becomes the matriarch of the family, and the siblings turn to her, but she's also the one who will speak her mind if things aren't panning out as she expects them to."
Where have I seen Gaynor Faye? Most viewers will have watched her in Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Fat Friends.
Jemima Rooper plays Chloe
Who is Chloe? Dennis's other daughter. She's married with children.
"She's a very strong woman," said Rooper. "She always holds onto her sense of self even when her siblings are suspicious of her. It's a very disarming quality but it makes her very powerful, and you get to see the many layers of her as the series goes on."
Where have I seen Jemima Rooper? Her CV includes BBC series Atlantis and Gold Digger. She's also appeared in Sky's Hex and comedy-drama As If.
Robert James-Collier plays Daniel
Who is Daniel? Dennis's son. He's a chef who owns his own restaurant, but times are tough and he's in debt.
"I have some sympathy with Daniel, but if I'm being honest he is quite selfish," said James-Collier. "It becomes apparent that he's used his dad all his life. He kept taking from the pot, only thinking of himself and his ego.
More like this
"He's quite focused and singular, and he lets his passion overrule his brain."
Where have I seen Robert James-Collier before? Most people will know him from Coronation Street, Downton Abbey and Ackley Bridge.
Samantha Bond plays Susan
Who is Susan? She was secretly married to Dennis for 14 years. His children suspect she has something to do with his death.
Where have I seen Samantha Bond before? She is best known for playing Moneypenny in four James Bond films. Viewers might also know her from Downton Abbey.
Adil Ray plays Pete
Who is Pete? Chloe's husband and the father of their children.
"He is left looking after the kids a lot while the siblings talk, but he doesn't really have an issue with that," said Ray. "He's a modern dad and it's what a father should do. His problem is that he feels that he's not part of the family, and he feels a little bit like a spare part at times.
"Pete does stand up for himself, he takes things into his own hands, and it's quite something what he does in the end. It's so unexpected and I can't wait to see if the audience are with him or against him."
Where have I seen Adil Ray before? Lots of people will know him as a presenter, appearing on Good Morning Britain. He also created sitcom Citizen Khan, which he also starred in.
Kevin Harvey plays Glen
Who is Glen? Sian's former partner. They share a son together. Glen wants to be a part of their lives again, but Sian wants nothing to do with him. Daniel contacts him about borrowing a loan.
Where have I seen Kevin Harvey before? His credits include Netflix's Treason, BBC prison drama Time and crime film Bull.
Additional cast members include:
- Larry Lamb (EastEnders, Gavin & Stacey) as Dennis - Daniel, Sian and Chloe's dad, who dies unexpectedly
- Kevin Whately (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Inspector Morse, Lewis) as Michael - Susan's ex husband
- Rory Fleck Byrne (This Is Going to Hurt) as Nathan - an estate agent

- Leah Minto (Fate: The Winx Saga, Red Rock) as the solicitor

There are cases when nurses, therapists, or other hospital workers are not able to control the behaviors of their patients. At the same time, they have to consider the rules and standards defined by the local health care acts to react ethically properly and control all kinds of emotions that can take place. The article chosen for the analysis explains how nurses and doctors have to behave in the most difficult situations regarding the conditions described in the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 also known as the Baker Act (Avitzur, 2010).
The main goal of the article is to explain how psychiatrists, nurses, and other workers can avoid the risks connected with the unstable mental conditions of their patients and remember and use the main principles of the Baker Act. The author of the article underlines the importance to have a kind of backup plan to be used in an emergency when someone’s life is at risk.
It is hard to control emotions and make the correct solutions at once. Still, it is never too late to train, improve knowledge, and find practical applications to the theoretical knowledge gained. The article helps to understand that people can face a variety of challenges in their professional and personal lives. Still, they should never forget about the rules, legal and ethical principles that help to choose the most appropriate solution within a short period.
The author of the article concludes that the consideration of the Baker Act’s basics does help in particular situations. The violence of patients can vary, and even the most professional APNs or psychiatrists cannot be ready for its outcomes.

You can use your wall decoration to draw the eye into certain section of the room. For example, hang an oversized painting over a freestanding bathtub to accentuate its presence of center of the tranquility and serenity of your bathroom.
admin Table Design, 2017-10-21 06:36:18.As previously mentioned, most of round pedestal dining table is designed in traditional style. However, there are also a lot of pedestal tables designed in modern style. The difference is on the leg design. Traditional style strengthens the sophisticated carving on the leg while the modern style presents sleek design. For the table top, both of traditional and modern styles also require wood and glass material. In addition, modern style table sometimes show a glossy surface. A glossy light wood table top combined with white leg and chairs is one of the examples.

If you prefer having the metal table designed with rough textures and wood accents, you will find the best traditional, rustic, or industrial looks. They appear surprisingly with their simplicity. Mostly, they are completed without finishing. Untreated wood material can be a good top for a coffee table with metal legs.
admin Table Design, 2017-10-22 06:45:02.Choosing a good round glass coffee table would not be difficult because you can choose so many types, ideas, and even materials for the support of the tables. When you want your table to be placed between the sofas, you could choose one with a short leg and a wide surface for a simple look. And you can choose a few forms of the leg shaped. If you have a small corner in your kitchen and you want this table to be there, you may choose the small round coffee table with a <>high leg.
admin Table Design, 2017-10-19 06:16:58.In the living room, overbed table can give so many functions. It can be a good idea to hold some meals and drink because it can be tracked to the sofa. People can have the table next to the sofa and sit lazily while watching a movie and having some meals. It can also be a nice place to display some decorative items. It will be more easily to create a focal point with this stuff because it can be moved from certain spot to other spots. Then, for some people who also work at home, they can have this table to hold the laptop. Don’t worry, it is also height adjustable.

It’s perfect furniture to have for your small space yet a smart choice of furniture to decorate your living room. Moreover, this table could be very practical in use because you could display your personal stuff above the table or putting a classic mirror on the wall just above the table.

The marble top coffee table maintenance could be a little bit complicated at first, but it’s worth a try for a durable marble top coffee table and fantastic look. The first thing you have to be aware is the spills in your table. Especially if it’s acidic you have to wipe it immediately.
admin Table Design, 2017-10-19 06:21:30.For the rustic design, reclaimed woods are structured in a random shape. Furniture can also be made of a single large reclaimed wood plank. Whether the furniture needs one of more reclaimed wood planks, the main idea of rustic reclaimed wood table is to show unfinished or untreated look of the table. Rough lines and edges are commonly presented. However, there is also a stylish table with sleek lines and edges. The table is constructed with two reclaimed wood planks which are also unfinished. The unfinished structures are presented in the middle of the table and completed with glass feature to clearly display the rough look of the wood planks.

Is a raw food diet healthy for dogs and what could be causing a dog to always be hungry?
Original Question: Do you like raw meat? I am feeding my dog raw meat as I heard how wonderful it is. My dog has pancreatitis periodically and I have always used vets authorized low-fat kibble and he becomes high maintenance because he is always hungry." - Elsie - Elsie
Thanks for your question.
It’s very difficult to recommend the best diet for your pet. In fact, I think it is near impossible because you really need to know how a dog responds to a food to know if it is good for them or not. I have always maintained that a food is good if your dog eats it, has good solid stools, does not become itchy, doesn’t vomit, and maintains an ideal body condition. Any food you select has to have a trial period before knowing whether it is ideal or not. So I feel the same about raw food. I have seen many dogs do very well on raw food. It’s important to manage it properly since it will increase the bacterial contamination in the kitchen. You have to store it properly and keep in mind that it commonly has high levels of fat and protein in it that can increase the risk of causing pancreatitis. To avoid this risk, I would recommend that you introduce any new food very slowly over the course of 3 weeks. Monitor your dog’s response to it very closely as you switch over to the new diet. If diarrhea or vomiting develops, I would stop it immediately and seek medical attention if it does not resolve right away.
If your dog is always hungry, I would recommend that you have your veterinarian perform a physical exam. There could be a medical reason for this so it’s worth getting a physical examination. For example, an intestinal parasite will certainly make a dog hungrier since it can prevent proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. I would also have your veterinarian perform a calculation to determine what the ideal daily caloric intake amount should be. Then determine whether the food your using has the right amount of calories in it to support that daily requirement. Your dog may be hungry because the food does not have enough calories in it or you’re not feeding enough of it.
I hope this helps.

While NFL teams were working diligently to replenish their rosters via the NFL Draft, something perhaps unexpected caught the collective masses’ eye: the fiancee of then-Texas A&M quarterback, Ryan Tannehill. When the signal-caller was selected by the Miami Dolphins at the eight position, ESPN’s camera couldn’t turn away from Lauren Ufer, Tannehill’s incredibly attractive soon-to-be wife.
So much so, in fact, the attractive blonde became something of an Internet trend, especially on Twitter. It should be noted there’s a little bit of name confusion going on. As you can see, ESPN captured Tannehill’s fiancee with her maiden name, which is Ufer. However, the soon-to-be Mrs. Tannehill has already embraced her upcoming name change, something her Twitter account–@LaurenTannehill–reflects quite well.
Ulfer/Tannehill, who apparently models in her spare time, enjoyed last night’s NFL Draft festivities a great deal:
Which gives us the following image:
A quick GIS indicates Ufer-Tannehill’s love for being attractive. For example:
It’s no wonder, then, that the future Mrs. Tannehill was a hit with the Twitter crowd:
#Chiefs draft Lauren Tannehill in the 2nd round I won’t be upset.If the
Ryan Tannehill may not be winning with the Dolphins anytime soon, but he’s already won the game of life. His wife Lauren…WOW
For those wondering how many followers Ufer-Tannehill picked up since her newfound popularity, well, she currently has over 3000 followers. I’m not sure, however, how many she had before ESPN’s camera made her an Internet star.

Editorial Comment: Actions like this by the Oregon utilities, the Oregon Business & Industry, the Oregon Farm Bureau, the Oregon Forest and Industries Council, and the Alliance of Western Energy Consumers substantially undermine their individual and collective credibility as organizations with a social conscience. – Alan Journet
By Alex Baumhardt, Oregon Capital Chronicle
Oregon’s second-highest court ruled in favor of natural gas utilities seeking to invalidate the state’s landmark climate program.
The state’s Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that the three-year-old Climate Protection Program is invalid on a technicality. Judges James Egan and Jacqueline Kamins said that the state’s Environmental Quality Commission did not fully comply with disclosure requirements in 2021 when it voted to create emissions rules that exceed federal rules and affect entities holding industrial air pollution permits under the federal Clean Air Act.
“As a result, we conclude that the CPP rules are invalid,” the judges wrote in a 21-page opinion.


?As We?re Going into the Future, the Average Circulation in the Atmosphere Will Probably Weaken?
In a letter published in the last issue of Nature, scientists describe human contribution to Climate Change. Gabriel Vecchi, co-author of the letter, answers Scitizen?s questions.
How do you attribute the climate changes to human activities?
What we do is a fairly standard procedure, which is first to identify a signal in observed data and then to determine whether or not that signal is likely to have arisen from the internal chaotic nature of the system. We do that by re-sampling many very long climate model integrations, some of them as long as two thousand years. Once we assess that the signal is unlikely to have arisen from internal variability of the system, we then perform a set of experiments where we run the computer climate models - which are failry complicated programs that are run on super computers that represent the interaction between and the variations of the oceans, atmosphere, land surface and ice system. We are able to put on them the various contributions to climate forcing of the atmosphere such as greenhouse gases, aerosols, ozone changes. We also can include natural changes to the Earth budget coming from volcanoes and also natural changes coming from variations in solar forcing.
When we include all of the forcing we were able to reproduce the observed changes very well. Then we partitioned the forcing into two types: one is the natural variability which includes solar forcing and volcanic activity principally. With that one we were unable to reproduce the observed changes in the climate model. However when we forced the climate model with only the anthropogenic, that is the man-made, changes we were able to reproduce the observed changes. So we conclude that the changes are not likely to have resulted from natural variability nor natural forcing to the climate system, and are most likely explained due to the anthropogenic component of the forcing.
In your paper, you states that climate as a whole is slowly moving towards a more El Niño like state. What do you mean?
That is a very simple way to characterize what the wind changes look like. Many of the details actually, and this is one of the fascinating part for a climate scientist, many of the details aren’t exactly like El Niño. The wind changes look like El Niño, and traditionally, when we see something that looks like El Niño, we expect the system to look entirely like El Niño, but we’ve seen that the rain changes and, in particular, the changes of the ocean structures are not necessarily those that you get with El Niño. So it seems that some of the guidance that we have on how the climate system works, that we’ve gotten from understanding the year to year variations of the system, may not be necessarily translatable to understanding how the system in going to operate in the future.
You describe the evolution of the Walker circulation. What is the Walker circulation exactly?
The Walker circulation is the dominant East-to-West flow across the tropical Pacific. It was named after Sir Gilbert Walker, a British meteorologist. It is characterized by surface winds that blow from East to West across the Pacific, which pick up moisture from the ocean's surface as they go along and then these winds when they reach the west Pacific rise and release the moisture they’ve picked up in rains. So they provide heavy rainfalls to the west Pacific - eastern Indian ocean region such as Northern Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and South-East Asia. Once this air has released the moisture, it then can move its way back to the East and radiating energy back to space. It becomes heavier, descend back to the East, and starts to loop again.
This Walker circulation slows down. What impact does it have on marine life?
The easterly trade winds, which are winds that blow from East to West across the equatorial Pacific, are the surface component of the Walker circulation, and are responsible for oceanic currents. In particular, currents that in the Northern atmosphere move towards the North and in the Southern atmosphere move towards the South. Those require the Ocean to replanish the near-surface with water from below. This water, because it’s outside of the region which has strong biological productivity, is generally nutrient-rich - so the winds bring the nutrient-rich water to the near surface where it can be used by the biology to produce the whole entire food web. When these winds weaken, the vertical circulation that is induced in the Ocean also weakens and so the transport of these nutrients from below could weaken and that could impact the biology.
What are your predictions for the 21st century?
One of the interesting aspects of our results is that it gives us an assessment of the ability of our models. This slowdown of the Walker circulation was actually predicted by models a while ago, and now that we’ve seen it in the data we have enhanced confidence in the ability of our models to give us at least the order-one climate changes associated with global warming. So going forward in time, the climate models predict a continued slow down of the Walker circulation, an additional about 10% from what it slowed so far, and this is one of the most robust predictions of climate models. An interesting aspect of this: it is not just the Walker circulation that climate models predict to slow down, but generally all overturning atmosphere circulations in the Tropics. So it appears that, as we’re going to the future, the average circulation in the tropical atmosphere will probably weaken.
Can climate change be prevented?
Well, I would say that the climate system changes all the time. There’s a climate under every tree, under every leaf… and so it’s going to continue changing. The human contribution to it, the extent to which it can be controlled or not, is a very complicated issue that is beyond just pure climate science. It involves considerations in social science and other fields that really necessitate that whole different communities communicate with each other. So I cannot answer.
Gabriel Vecchi, thank you.

Corporation intensifies drive to remove illegal hoardings
The city corporation has decided to crack the whip to get the illegal hoardings and banners removed from roadsides. A corporation official said notices were being served on the owners of properties, where the illegal banners and hoardings were put up...
A corporation official said notices were being served on the owners of properties, where the illegal banners and hoardings were put up. “While some of them have come forward to remove the hoardings themselves, the remaining ones are being cleared by corporation workers. Expenses involved in removing the hoardings will be collected from the people who put them up.”
The official said licence was a must under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Licensing of Hoardings and Levy and Collection of Advertisement Tax Rules, 2003, to put up any advertisement in public places. The district collector is the only competent authority to issue the licence.
However, the practice of putting up banners and hoardings, some of them giant ones, without getting the required approval is rampant in the city.
A town planning official (central zone) said corporation commissioner Raja Gopal Sunkara had instructed them to remove all the illegal banners and hoardings and the drive was on for the past two days. “We have cleared around 10 illegal hoardings and banners so far. We are noticing the trend of illegal hoardings reappearing in some places. We have warned against such practice. Officials in other zones are also involved in clearing illegal hoardings.”
Another official said the smaller advertisement boards that were fixed to poles on roadsides were also being removed. “We have removed more than 30 such advertisement boards from the roads next to the district collector office and police commissioner office recently.”

Williamson and Raab among ministers thought to be at risk
And home secretary プリティ・パテル has been tipped by some in Westminster as a candidate for the chop, after her failure to stop the growing numbers of small boats bringing refugees across the Channel from France.
Mr Johnson has only days to complete the reshaping of his top team before he heads to the US for a speech at the United Nations General Assembly early next week. This week was effectively his last chance to carry out the widely-anticipated reshuffle in order to give new ministers time to prepare for high-profile speeches at next month’s Conservative annual conference in Manchester.
And he will be pleased to be able to distract attention from the Commons debate and vote called by Labour this afternoon on the upcoming £1,000-a-year cut in Universal Credit payments.
A Downing Street source said: “The prime minister will today conduct a reshuffle to put in plac a strong and united team to build back better from the pandemic.”
追加されたソース: “Yesterday, the PM set out his plan for managing Covid during the autumn and winter.
“But the government must also redouble our efforts to deliver on the people’s priorities. The PM will be appointing ministers this afternoon with a focus on uniting and levelling up the whole country.”
It is expected that Mr Johnson will call ministers facing the sack to his private office in the House of Commons following the weekly session of prime minister’s questions, sparing them the ordeal of walking up Downing Street in front of TV cameras.
Senior appointments are expected to be made this afternoon, with more junior ranks filled on Thursday.
Mr Williamson’s position has long been under threat after a series of calamities over exams and school reopening.
And Mr Raab has been put at risk by his decision to remain on holiday as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
But it would be a virtually unprecedented development for a prime minister to sack his effective deputy – a position which Raab holds as First Secretary of State.
Ministers thought to be under consideration for promotion including grassroots darling Liz Truss, chief whip Mark Spencer and Anne-Marie Trevelyan, who lost her cabinet rank when her Department for International Development was merged with the Foreign Office.
Mr Johnson has so far been reluctant to sack senior colleagues, many of whom have been allies since the Brexit referendum campaign. He held on to housing secretary Robert Jenrick when his position was questioned over links with developer Richard Desmond.
His biggest government shake-up since entering Downing Street – the post-election revamp of February 2020 – became a major reshuffle only as a result of then chancellor Sajid Javid quitting rather than see his advisers fall under the control of Dominic Cummings in No 10.

Have you ever wondered how life became so complicated?
We have more internet, more clothes, more cars, more dinners, more television, more news, heaps more social media, more travel and more drugs and alcohol being used. Have you also noticed the amount of goods that seem to stuff our retail outlets?
It seems there is more, more, more of everything and society seems more and more unhappy.
So, what can we do about this “more” epidemic that seems to be engulfing our society. More products are being made every day for us to purchase, there’s more pressure at work to perform (or the result can be the loss of your job), much more negative, gory stories on the news (including all the terrorist activity around the world) and there seems to be more social pressure than ever before with the surge in social media popularity. Most people seem to be so “busy” all the time, and yet their lives seem to be void of peace and happiness. Overall we seem to expect more from our lives and yet the clock still only gives us 24 hours in a day. As we see the increase of “more”, we also see levels of stress and depression at an all-time high.
I have, for some time, been a silent observer of my life and our friend’s lives. Watching the busyness and “more epidemic” that has been engulfing us, and I’m over it! It’s time for a change.
As I realized the need for change in my life and that of my husband (Andy) I began to notice on the internet this term “minimalism” and that attracted my attention.
And so the internet has been instrumental in my transition to becoming a minimalist. I’ve been inspired by this online community, that I didn’t even know existed until last year. I have found so many people sharing their stories and insights about getting back to basics and living simple, fulfilling lives. And that has appealed to me!
Minimalism is not some extremist behaviour about owning nothing but a dress and sitting in a room with nothing but walls! It’s about determining what is important in your life and eliminating the rest. Not complicated at all!
A minimalist lifestyle can pretty much be applied to any area of your life. Last year Andy and I have started a determined journey to get our lives back and have ruthlessly analyzed what we do, what we own and who we spend our time with.
What we have done:
- We have done a clothing audit on our wardrobes and they have almost halved.
- Our household possessions have been ruthlessly scrutinized and we have given away, and sold anything that we deemed excess to our daily functioning. Our clutter free home feels so good!
- We have reviewed our budget and analyzed where we can curb excess expenditure.
- We have also looked at any extra activities that we didn’t see as essential and put the broom through that area as well.
The process of minimizing can be tough and challenging, however it is also very rewarding. Saying no can be tough at times too, however it allows you to live life on your terms and not be blown around by people and circumstances.
So, where to start in becoming a minimalist? The answer is to start small. You don’t have to start with a big step. As it is said, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, so simplifying life doesn’t happen overnight. For some it can take years, others only a short time. What matters, is that if we want change we make a start.

Financing will also be used on preclinical pipeline of DARPins, molecules that reportedly combine advantages of mAbs and small molecules.
Germany-based Molecular Partners raised CHF 46 million (about $44.24 million) in a Series B equity investment round. The company aims to use the new funds to progress its lead VEGF antagonist, MP0112, into Phase II studies in two separate ophthalmology indications. The financing will also be used to support development of its preclinical pipeline of DARPin candidates.
DARPins are a class of therapeutic proteins that combine the high specificity, selectivity, and safety of mAbs with advantages of small molecules, including high-stability and low-cost production, according to Molecular Partners.
In May the company reported the early achievement of all milestones in the research phase of its collaboration with Centocor. The alliance is focused on developing DARPin antagonists against two undisclosed inflammatory disease targets. Molecular Partners also has ongoing DARPin collaborations with Roche and Bayer Schering Pharma.

Even the most talented playwright couldn't have written this scenario. Take, for example, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who apparently hoped to set an example of transparency and openness. Not only was he one of the first to fulfill President Vladimir Putin's order last year to develop a plan for modernizing the armed forces, but he even posted portions of his modernization plan on his website.
Russia has proven unable to produce any technologically complex product, whether it be ships, aircraft, reactors, turbines or engines.
The section devoted to upgrading the army was particularly interesting. Rather than spell out what quantities of which weapons would be delivered each year, the plan offered only one strange figure: the percentage of new equipment for each type of weapon. Of course, this number should increase from year to year. But it is almost impossible to ascertain exactly how many weapons must be delivered, making it easy to conceal future failures and shortfalls. But Valery Gerasimov, head of the General Staff, clarified that to fulfill the plan, Russia had to produce 70 to 100 aircraft, more than 120 helicopters, eight or nine submarines and up to 600 armored vehicles by 2020.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the defense industry, has been quick to explain how that industry would be able to carry out such an over-ambitious plan, basing his optimism on past production growth in the defense sector. At the same time, he did not indicate whether that growth had been maintained during the current economic stagnation and whether it applied to the actual production of aircraft, helicopters and tanks. The growth figures could be misleading if they are based only mainly on the increase in end costs, as Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has suggested. What's more, Deputy Economic Development Minister Andrei Klepach sounded somewhat out of place when he said, "If you realistically analyze the financial condition of almost all leading Russian defense companies, you see that they are either close to bankruptcy or not far from it."
To deflect attention away from production shortfalls, Rogozin has focused on the country's supposed vulnerability to a U.S. attack. According to Rogozin, the U.S. Prompt Global Strike program — which, if realized, is supposed to place conventional warheads on high-precision strategic delivery vehicles — will be able to destroy up to 90 percent of Russia's nuclear forces. This is complete nonsense. Moreover, Rogozin also argues that this attack could be delivered in an hour's time by the 4,000 or so strategic delivery vehicles that the United States possesses. But in reality, the U.S. has only about 1/4 of this number.
This begs the question: Why try to fulfill the modernization plan if the U.S., through its Prompt Global Strike and missile defense capabilities, can supposedly nullify any advantage gained from Russia's latest technologies?
Rogozin all but admitted this when he said last week at a conference devoted to Putin's presidential campaign article titled "Be Strong: National Security Guarantees for Russia" published in early 2012: "The Russian economy is 10 times smaller than the U.S. economy. Moreover, Russia's scientific potential was practically destroyed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, leaving it decades behind leading Western countries in a number of critical core technologies."
No sooner had Rogozin uttered these words than the Proton-M rocket launched from Baikonur exploded last week only seconds into its flight. The situation has become so bad with Russia's space program that these kind of human disasters are becoming the norm, while successful launches are the exception. And failed rocket launches are only the tip of the iceberg. Incompetence, corruption, substandard construction and inefficiency permeate the entire defense industry. In short, Russia is suffering a systemic crisis in defense technology and production. It cannot produce any complex product, whether it be ships, aircraft, reactors, turbines or engines. The main reason is that the state has not been able to make the industry function under market conditions. Instead, it corralled hundreds of separate companies into state corporations, which have become enormous, unwieldy behemoths.
When the Proton-M rocket exploded, the Vesti 24 television reporter covering the event live made the understatement, "Something seems to have gone wrong." Those words will undoubtedly go down in history alongside Putin's infamous quip in 2000, "It sank," when he answered U.S. talk show host Larry King's question, "What happened to the Kursk submarine?" But something always seems to be sinking or otherwise going wrong in the country's defense industry.
