I'm Hot for You!
Today I have a card I made using Jaded Blossom stamps. I recently received the January 2014 release and I must say that it's really cute.
I decided to bring out my cricut machine for this card. I was flipping through the Create-A-Critter handbook and came across the cute flame. The pattern paper I used is from an old DCWV stack. I wanted to use colors that could be masculine. I used the Kawaii Sentiments stamp set from Jaded Blossom.
Thank you for visiting!

Baku, Azerbaijan, March 11
By Vugar Imanov - Trend:
The creative work of Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet (les gens d'Uterpan) will be presented in Azerbaijan for the first time. The artists will show their performances at Yay Gallery and in the Museum Center. They will also deliver an artist talk at the International Center of Mugham.
This program is organized by YARAT Contemporary Art Space and supported by the Institut Français d'Azerbaïdjan. Acknowledge support of the European Cultural Foundation/STEP beyond.
Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet (les gens d'Uterpan), in partnership with the CAC Bretigny, develop the construction and diffusion of several performances - The X-Event. The creations point out and question the frontiers between dance and plastic arts concerning the exhibition of living art.
This attitude creates different ways of managing dancers, choreographers and spectators and helps to push the boundaries of traditional choreography.
Each X-Event form goes with sound from the Baryton's voice of Victor Torres. The handling of these materials by Nicolas Martz defines a position and a functionality of sound including composition and time traces.
Their work has been previously presented at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, Ireland; Tate Modern and Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, United Kingdom; Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; VI Cali Performance Festival, Colombia; Galeria Vermelho, Sao Paulo, Brazil; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, Poland; Kunsthaus Graz, Museum Joanneum, Austria; Berlin Biennial of Contemporary Art, Germany; Nam June Paik Art Center, Seoul, Corea; White Box, New York, USA; Space18 - Bund18, Shanghai, China; Museum for contemporary art, Zagreb, Croatia; CAC Vilnius, Lithania; MAC Lyon, France; Museion, Bolzano, Italy; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France.
March 23th 2014 - 6pm - Yay Gallery - X-Event 2.6 According to the protocol Le gout (2007) & performance& video exhibition
The dancers walk freely within a defined space. They stare at one another or at the visitors in a neutral fashion, without any intention. They do not talk, they sit or lie down on the ground without ceasing to search out someone's eyeline. The action is maintained for several hours.
From the March 23th 2014, the Yay Gallery is projecting several video recordings of the work by Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet shot during previous activations.
March 24th 2014 - 7pm - Museum Center - X-Event 2.3 According to the protocol Les chutes (2007)
A group of dancers push each other, throwing one another out of the central perimeter defined by two crossing trajectories. After falling each dancer gets up and re-enters the perimeter in order to push another dancer or be pushed and fall again. The action is maintained until the group's energy is exhausted.
One principle used in X-Event is that of reversibility, a tactic which via the imposition of constraints and extreme limitations of contexts on performers, ineluctably gives rise to the reverse situation: the liberation of individualities and an acute awareness of place.
March 25th 2014 - 3pm - International Mugham Center of Azerbaijan -Artist Talk
Franck Apertet, co-choreographer and Annie Vigier of les Gens d'Uterpan will discuss re-action process, it stakes and goals using some of the 17 strategies that are involved. You will have a chance to ask questions and debate with the choreographer.

Creating a vision board is easy. Go through magazines or search the internet to find images that represent what you want to attract. It doesn’t matter if the images are metaphorical or literal. The important thing is that the images speak to you and connect with your desires. Attach the images to a board and place it in a prominent place where you will look at it every day.
What do you want? What are your goals, wishes, and dreams? Get really clear about what it is that you want to manifest in your life. Do this in your quiet space. I encourage you to write it on paper with a pen. Describe what it looks like, draw it, define it. Make sure you stay with the positive attributes of your vision and define them specifically. Creating a manifestation/vision board is a great tool to help you visualize your goals and dreams.
Manifestation List Examples
Manifest is an American drama television series, created by Jeff Rake, that premiered on September 24, 2018, on NBC. The series centers on the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for five years. It stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J. R. Ramirez, Parveen Kaur, and Luna Blaise.
The law of attraction is not a magic wand. Because the brain preferentially scans and stores negative experiences, we have to consciously, habitually build the positive mental muscle. We all have layers and layers of stories, limiting beliefs, fears and blocks that have become the interior landscape of our minds and cannot be changed overnight just by thinking positive thoughts.

The Law Of Attraction By William Walker Atkinson Pdf
I’m answering a question I get asked IRL a lot: How to manifest anything you desire in life? Yup, you read that right, manifest anything in your life! Sound to good to be true? Well it isn’t! I’ve lived the seven steps I am going to share with you today and they really have allowed me to manifest anything I desire in life! I promise that if you practice them and make them a part of your lifestyle, you will see the same results! But you really have to work them!
Arielle: In addition to healing your heart from past relationships, you need to create a clear intention. The analogy I like to use it this: When you walk into your favorite coffee hangout what is the first thing you do? Place your order. You confidently tell the barista, “I will have a tall, half-caff, low-fat mocha latte, with a splash of non-sugar vanilla syrup to go.” The barista smiles, writes your order on the side of a cup and takes your money. Within minutes you are walking out the door with the precise, delicious cup of coffee that you ordered. Ordering up a soul mate from the Universe works in a similar way. It’s not always as instantaneous but it can be just as precise. But to have the Universe to deliver your perfect soul mate, you must first clearly place your order. This isn’t quite as easy as it sounds. You must first search your heart for what you really, really desire. By now you know what you don’t want but you need to ask for what you do want. In the Soulmate Kit we explain how to place your order by creating a detailed list and we then provide a variety of rituals to do to release your list to the Universe.
So unfortunately he did not teach that you throw things out into the ether etc..... You are one with the creator, you create, shape and alter things not attract things from out of fresh air, I mean if you take his Barbados tickets, how on earth can anyone say he attracted the tickets, he went out and altered PHYSICAL things, situations, peoples thoughts and views and was given his tickets: just one example.
Next let’s go back to the mindfulness meditation we did last month. Focus your attention on the sensation of the breath as it comes in and comes out of your nostrils. What do you feel? What do you notice? Breath in and out of your nostrils normally but focus your mind, with alertness on all of the sensations you feel as the breath comes in and out of the nostrils. This should take around five minutes.

I read one page a day and by the end of the year, I was a different person. Everyday I would focus on a single quote and I would try to keep it in the front of my mind for the duration of the day and it changed the way I looked at and thought about things. Sometimes it was hard to comprehend into my own life but I made it happen and by the end, the ideas stuck with me and now I live differently. I would recommend this book highly but I also recommend reading Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks first.

Now, with this book, readers can learn how to use the Law of Attraction deliberately and integrate it into their daily life. By doing this, they will attract all they need to do, know, and have so they can get more of what they want and less of what they don't want. With its easy-to-follow 3-step formula (Identify Your Desire, Give Your Desire Attention, and Allowing), complete with tips, tools, exercises, and scripts, LAW OF ATTRACTION shows readers how to:
I stumbled on your page a couple weeks ago. I’ve been coping with post partum depression for the past few months. Although medication has absolutely helped take the edge off, ever since reading your words I’ve felt a consistent and steady rise in my feelings of happiness. The medication helped stabilize my depression, that’s true, but your words helped me tap into my joy. Joy I haven’t felt in years, possibly since I was a child myself.
What Do You Want In Your Life Partner
It’s not enough just to say your affirmations or create a vision board and hope for the best. The universe speaks the language of emotions. So even if you are affirming “I am rich and successful,” you have to feel it for it to make a difference. To call in an experience you actually want to have, start to cultivate the emotion of the experience as if it were already real, already happening.
Remember that there is a difference between sending out a hope that something you'd like to happen will happen and putting in the appropriate effort or planning to ensure that something actually will happen. If you don't believe that something will happen, perhaps you're not willing to plan and work for it. You need a balance of both hope (to inspire) and effort (to achieve) for an outcome to be realized.
The universe hears your intentions, but when you’re unclear about what you want, you’ll get an equally unclear answer, or worse, something you don’t actually want. Only you know what’s best for you, and your spirit guides can help you get there – you just have get into a deep quiet to listen to their messages. Putting down what you want in writing also helps clarify your visions. The more detailed, the better.
You have set your intention and know what you want from the universe, so now you must take action to ensure that your dream is manifested into a reality. If you set your goal and then put it to the back of your mind, it will never become a reality. Remember, you are what you give your attention to. Therefore, you should try to fuel your dream with as much positive attention as possible.
1. The scatter effect. When you tell other people about your goals and ideals, your focus is drained. By telling others, you instill a false sense of accomplishment in yourself, as if it were already done. It sucks you dry of motivation essentially. Then you don't act on it because you no longer feel motivated to. You spent your focus at the wrong time. It's better to keep it to yourself, and channel the focus within you each day.
12) We’re Not Perfect: The LOA is a “perfect law” and should result in a “perfect” life. We are told that no goal is too big if you can think it; there is no such thing as an unrealistic goal. From The Secret “You can think your way to the perfect state of health, the perfect body, the perfect weight, and eternal youth. You can bring it into being, through your consistent thinking of perfection.” Reality check -life is not perfect. It can be great, fantastic, amazing, incredible, even optimal. But perfect? Won’t happen. What’s the problem with this way of thinking? Why not expect perfection? Fantasizing and striving for perfect makes you feel better in the short term but actually reduces your chance of attaining your goals and results in more unhappiness and blaming. If you are only going to be satisfied with perfect results – perfect health, perfect body, perfect family, perfect marriage, perfect friendships, perfect kids, perfect house, perfect job, perfect life; you are in for a perfect disappointment. Research studies support this.
Outline methods to achieve your goals. Goals left by themselves are intangible. In order to make your dreams a reality, you will need a clear, and above all, realistic gameplan to reach them by. Everyone is used to having wild dreams, but a real achiever will keep the practical means in mind while thinking about his desires. At the visualization stage, it is enough to write a couple of sentences on how you're going to reach each of your goals.
Your true desires are high vibration. When your emotional vibrations are high, you attract and manifest your true desires faster. When your emotional vibrations are low, you attract and manifest things that you do not truly desire. Your true desires are the state of the source which is abundance, freedom, love, power, awareness and total success in everything. To be godlike.
p.s. Are you tired of waking up on autopilot and dreading Mondays? Are you wanting to manifest love, abundance or success? Are you tired of reading all the self-help books and still not actually changing? Does manifesting your desires feel overwhelming or confusing? Does fear or doubt block you from taking action or staying in a high vibe? Are you craving more abundance and magic in all areas of your life? Take your manifestation to the next level and co-create a magical life with the Manifest Course.
How To Manifest To Get What You Want
Clearly, this person doesn’t really believe the Universe is going to take care of them, or they wouldn’t be making a desperate plea, bargaining, and putting a timeframe on when they want their demands met. Its comes back to the scarcity mindset, in the idea that if I don’t have a date by So & So’s wedding, then there just isn’t someone out there for me! Whether that’s what someone intended to say or not, it doesn’t really matter because it’s the energy behind the words.
Français: utiliser la loi de l'attraction, Italiano: Usare la Legge dell'Attrazione, Deutsch: Anziehungskraft nutzen, Português: Usar a Lei da Atração, Nederlands: De Wet van Aantrekking gebruiken, Русский: использовать закон притяжения, 中文: 运用吸引力法则, Bahasa Indonesia: Menerapkan Hukum Tarik Menarik, العربية: استخدام قانون الجذب الكوني, Tiếng Việt: Sử dụng luật hấp dẫn, ไทย: ใช้กฎแห่งแรงดึงดูด, 한국어: 끌어당김의 법칙 활용하는 법, 日本語: 引き寄せの法則を使う, Türkçe: Çekim Yasası Nasıl Uygulanır, Español: aplicar la ley de la atracción
Step 2: Believe it is possible. You must know in your deepest soul that it is possible for the thing you desire to be in your life. Miracles happen every day. Often things we never could have imagined were possible come together in the most unpredictable way. Just because something does not appear likely from your current vantage point does not mean that it is not possible. Believe in the possibility that what you desire could be in your life. The stronger your belief the less resistance you create. By reducing the resistance it is easier for the energy of what you do desire to materialize in your life. If you do not believe it is possible for your dream to be a part of your reality, you are energetically putting up a brick wall of resistance blocking all possibility that you can manifest what you desire. Expect your dream to manifest. Know that it is happening. Know that the Universe is working in your favor, even when it does not appear to be from your perspective. Trust and believe what you desire is coming to you.

A few years ago, an article was posted entitled “The Problem With Average Not Being Good Enough.”
The author, Brianna Wiest, attempted to explain the current human condition of many young people. Although she never explicitly stated it regarded young adults, I surmised it must be so being that she spoke of college and other concerns that millennials and generation whatever follows appear to have.
The article was a bit confusing at times but the gist was that unapologetically being yourself and not particularly special is not a bad thing. In other words (I think), one does not have to bow to social pressure or strive to be exceptional: just to be noticed – that being “average” is not so bad.
While I disagreed with a lot of her “average is good enough,” assuming I understood the new age speak, her premise, whether she knows it or not, is quite prescient, but not in the way she thinks.
She writes that, “we’re expected to play different roles. Live different lives depending on the company we’re keeping. External validation is the most immediate gratification, and we’re still at its whim almost everyday. …when we start making disingenuous choices to be ‘above-average’ – not because we feel compelled to but because they will allow us to define ourselves to others in a way that will receive a certain reaction.”
After reading the entire article more than once, I’ve concluded she is trying to convince others of her generation (20 somethings) to be who you want to be and don’t worry about stodgy society judging you or expecting you to overachieve – that average really is good enough and it’s okay to embrace the average.
Now, while I don’t agree that anyone should strive to simply be average, I agree with some other points I’m sure she didn’t mean to make.
Society today is all about “external validation,” and, as she correctly points out, average isn’t good enough. Is this what we’re witnessing today and why? Just look around and see that our once “normal” country is fast transforming into a melting pot of the weird and outrageous.
Many are broadcasting their entire lives on Facebook in order to seek, I guess, “external validation,” while we “average” Joes and Joannes struggle to understand why it’s so important.
Then there is Twitter, which I have expressed often as, with the occasional exception, the platform for the stupid. It has become, again with exceptions for business and such, a vehicle of one-upmanship. Those among us who are the most odd and outrageous garner the most attention. And it is all about the attention – the constant yearning to be anything but average – anything but normal. Somewhere along the line, these terms have become four letter words.
Who in their right mind would post a minimally redacted naked “selfie” (how I hate that term) for the whole world to see? But all it takes is one to then see a cascade of want-to-be relevant bubbleheads start snapping away – each attempting to push the envelope a little more than the last. All out of what I can only guess is a perceived fear of being classified as just average, or dare I say – normal. Oh, and then they complain about the objectification of women.
And of course, there is the seemingly sudden and odd explosion of the LGBT community. This “lifestyle” has somehow become the cool thing, although just being homosexual is fast becoming the new normal. But this is not a good thing. Remember, being normal or average is no longer accepted in certain circles, which is why I believe the passé homosexual movement has given way to the Transgender movement.
Ms. Wiest was correct, as she explained that ever-odder behavior and/or appearance “will allow us to define ourselves to others in a way that will receive a certain reaction.” This, I guarantee, is at least part of why transgenderism is becoming all the rage.
I shudder to think of what is on the horizon if guys dressing up like girls becomes just average.Don't forget to Like Freedom Outpost on Facebook and Twitter, and follow our friends at RepublicanLegion.com.

This August, the Goleta City Council finally adopted a Housing Element for its General Plan. The State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) still has the last word, but its latest letter indicates that only fairly minor tweaking is required before it will certify the element. It has been a long haul, but hopefully the bureaucratic needs of the state have been taken care of, and we have a document that addresses the housing needs of Goletans.
There is an outstanding need for housing, both for sale and for rent, affordable to low-income families, senior citizens, individuals with special needs, and moderate-income workforce families. The goal is to achieve a balanced and diverse community, with a variety of housing types and choices, compatible with existing Goleta neighborhoods.
Fundamental to Goleta’s meeting its state-required housing numbers are the sites north of Hollister Avenue that were rezoned from office/industrial to residential housing at 20 units to the acre. Goleta is required to designate housing sites for 938 units for the 2009-2014 planning period, and the Hollister sites alone can accommodate 800 to 900.
Some years ago it was thought that the increased value of the land from re-zoning, together with moderately high density, would allow the development of market rate units that were “affordable by design”-multifamily units of modest size, attractive and financially accessible to middle income working families. This vision quickly vanished as housing values, along with construction costs, escalated.
Goleta is requiring that developers price 20 percent of the units on these sites to be affordable to low to moderate-income households. Without such provisions, for-sale housing will not be accessible for the average family in Goleta.
But designating sites is one thing. Actually putting housing on the ground is another. There are developers who question whether it is possible to build for-sale housing at a density of 20 to the acre. We know it can be done for rental housing. We have the example of the recently completed Sumida Gardens with 200 units, 34 of which are affordable to very low, low and moderate-income families.
Two of the Hollister sites have already come in with plans for rental projects. This will meet a real need. Rents, of necessity, level off at a rate affordable to tenants. Over the last three years on the South Coast, however, rents have increased faster than the county median income, and many are paying more rent than the recommended 30 percent of their income. We can hope these additions to the rental housing stock will help keep these increases in check.
It is equally important to include some for-sale housing as part of the mix. Homebuyers and renters have different expectations. While some renters may stay in the same place for many years, in general they are more transitory and less demanding in their requirements. Homebuyers, on the other hand, are making an investment in their future and are looking for more space, convenient covered parking, maybe a garage, and other amenities. At the City Council hearing on the Housing Element, one councilmember asked if any of the developers present knew of for-sale projects at 20-per-acre. He got blank looks in return.
Would those thousands of commuters from North County and Ventura exchange their single-family homes in those communities for a condo close to work in one of these developments? The answer is probably “No.” But new residents and younger workers might well be interested, if these projects are attractive and well designed.
Creative solutions may involve the layout of a site, with higher densities on one part and more traditional town homes on the rest. While units with at least two bedrooms may be more marketable, it is also true that demographics are changing. Smaller units may suit senior citizens who are thinking of downsizing from a single family home; and young singles and childless couples might be happy to be able to purchase a studio or one bedroom apartment as an entry into home-ownership. “Affordable by design” may yet be a possibility for these individuals. These sites have the additional attraction of being close to Metropolitan Transit District bus service on Hollister Avenue, and within walking and biking distance of work, UCSB, and shopping.
While one solution for developers would be to build at lower densities, of 15 to 20 units to the acre, the importance of zoning at least 20 homes per acre is that the state recognizes this as meeting the city’s requirement to provide for the development of affordable housing. Whether or not this is an unrealistic solution for the South Coast is of no account to the state. But we do have to show HCD that we are making a good faith effort to meet the goal and provide incentives for affordable housing.
In talking to several homebuilders and to city staff, I believe that while it may not be easy, 20 units to the acre for-sale housing is doable. While all development must be held to high standards, the housing element does provide incentives for beneficial projects, such as those for senior, special needs, and affordable housing. Environmental protections must be preserved at all costs, and Goletans are even more averse than Santa Barbarans to high buildings. But there can be some flexibility in standards for such things as lot coverage and setbacks, to enable these higher density projects to go forward.
The bottom line is there is time to work out some of these issues. There are several approved projects that are not getting underway because financial backing is simply not available in today’s economic climate. The market is determining the pace of development at this time, not city regulations! It will take a turn in the economy before we begin to see the housing that we need for that balanced and diverse community that we want, and practice may define what can be done.

An important part of wellness care is learning your options for screening for underlying pathology or maybe just understanding your baseline. Today I was reading about gathering an MRI or CT scan for measuring the kidneys, as they become less efficient as they enlarge, which may be a more timely evaluation than waiting for labs to decline. Mammograms and colonoscopies are part of these screenings, and even CT scans for long-term smokers. I am often asking clients, "How is this knowledge going to change your management?" Maybe it won't. Maybe it will be motivating and inspire lifestyle changes that ultimately improve your health. Maybe it will help us understanding your progressing health as you age. Either way, knowledge is empowering, so I thought I would share a bit about the heart scan. Is it appropriate for you?
The heart scan, otherwise known as a coronary calcium scan, is a specialized X-ray test that provides pictures of your heart which can help detect and measure calcium-containing plagues in your arteries. Calcium plagues can restrict the blood flow into the muscle of the heart so having awareness of their presence and significance can help us better understand your overall heart health. Not always are symptoms present when one suffers coronary artery disease, until there is significant dis-ease. If known, lifestyle modifications and even medication can help reduce your risk of heart attack or other heart problems.
Am I a Good Candidate?
These scans do require exposure to radiation, so they aren't right for everyone and are not currently recommended as part of a routine wellness exam. According to the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association guidelines, a heart scan may not be recommended for the following people:
men under the age of 40 years and women under the age of 50, because it is unlikely that calcium will be detected in these younger ages;
people who have a very low risk, because detectable calcium is very unlikely if you don't have a family history of heart attacks at an early age;
people who already have a known high risk (especially heavy smokers or those with diabetes or very high cholesterol), because they heart scan will likely not provide any additional information to guide treatment;
people with symptoms or a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, because the procedure won't help doctors better understand the disease progression or risk; and
people who already had an abnormal coronary calcium heart scan.
Having said that, the level of radiation one is exposed to with this heart scan is comparable to the amount of radiation one is naturally exposed to during their daily life in about a year's time. There are clinics which advertise heart scans to the community. These do not require a doctor's order. Alone though, these aren't overly helpful. The radiation exposure without the additional evaluation of health and a clinician's oversight, is likely not going to offer sufficient information to justify the radiation exposure.
How is the Test Performed?
Sensors are attached to your chest, which connect to an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), which records your heart activity during the exam and coordinates the timing of X-ray pictures between heartbeats, when the heart muscles are relaxed. You'll be placed on your back, on a moveable table, which slides into the tubeline CT scanner. Your head will remain outside the scanner the entire time and intentionally, the rooms remain cool. Some individuals are provided a medication to help slow their heart so images can be made more clear. If you are anxious, you might also be offered a medication to help you remain calm.
As the pictures are being taken, the technician may ask you to hold your breath for a few seconds at a time. The technician, of course, will operate the scanner from another room but will be able to see and talk to you the entire time. The entire procedure lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. There are no other special precautions. You'll be able to continue with your daily activities immediately after scanning.
The results will then be scored (sometimes called a calcium score and sometimes called an Agatston score) and provided to you and/or your clinician. A score of zero means no calcium in the heart. When calcium is present, the higher the score, the higher the risk of heart disease. When the score is 100 to 300 there are moderate plaque deposits, which is significant for a high risk of heart attack or other heart disease over the next three to five years. A score greater than 300 is a sign of very high to severe disease and heart attack risk. You may also receive a percentage score, which indicates your amount of calcium compared to people of the same age and sex.
If you'd like to meet with me to discuss the appropriateness of this test, I'd love to hear from ya!

Call for end to 'perverted' race-based welfare
One of Australia's foremost Indigenous thinkers is calling for an end to race-based entitlement.
In a landmark speech at the Melbourne Writers' Festival on Sunday night, the University of Melbourne's Chair of Indigenous Studies, Professor Marcia Langton, proposed a social security and wider policy system based only on economic need, and not Aboriginality.
She said it would help end a "perverted" sense of entitlement, as well as stop the perception that non-Aboriginal people may be taking advantage of the system.
In an interview with the ABC before her speech, which was part of the "Big Ideas" series, Professor Langton explained how she hoped to help end what she calls the "friction" between bringing Indigenous people into mainstream society, but also continuing to acknowledge their status as essentially different.
If we dispense with that definition of Aboriginal people and treat Aboriginal people as First Peoples - that is our status derives from us being here before settlement - not on the basis of race but an historical argument, then Aboriginal people become citizens with an attribute that is political, not racial.Professor Marcia Langton
"The Constitution and scores of Parliamentary acts at the federal and state level define Aboriginal people as a race," she said.
"If we dispense with that definition of Aboriginal people and treat Aboriginal people as First Peoples - that is our status derives from us being here before settlement - not on the basis of race but an historical argument, then Aboriginal people become citizens with an attribute that is political, not racial.
"And if we make that the definition of being Aboriginal ... then a lot of rubbish in the policy world falls away.
"It's not possible then for Aboriginal people to argue that perverted sense of entitlement to government largesse on the basis of race.
"They should only be able to argue for that kind of largesse on the basis of need, in other words economic disadvantage - actual economic disadvantage."
Professor Langton said these changes would mean less misinformation being spread about Indigenous people and welfare.
"You won't have what Andrew Bolt, Pauline Hanson and so many Australians are angry about, and that is a resentment towards people claiming to be Aboriginal, purportedly in order to gain some financial benefit," she said.
I heartily approve without any reservations. We are Australians and that is the end of the matter. There should be no exceptions based on colour, race or creed.Tonyy, via story comment. Read all of the comments below.
"Of course it's not true in the main, but there is an element of truth with it.
"But my concern is not with them, my concern is with Aboriginal people themselves who add to their own distinctly unfortunate position in society by being complicit in what is essentially a racial construct and then not stepping up to the mark."
Limited by race
Professor Langton said that some Indigenous people unwittingly and unconsciously allow themselves to be limited by race notions.
"Of course many Aboriginal people are awake to this problem and vote with their feet - they walk away from this kind of categorisation," she said.
There's a growing Aboriginal middle class who pay for their children to go to private school, for instance, and they don't accept government benefits, and that section of Aboriginal society is ignored by the media and by the public and by government policy.Professor Marcia Langton
"There's a growing Aboriginal middle class who pay for their children to go to private school, for instance, and they don't accept government benefits, and that section of Aboriginal society is ignored by the media and by the public and by government policy."
When asked to give examples of "rubbish" policies which might be eliminated under this new philosophy, Professor Langton drew on CDEP or "work for the dole" initiatives.
"The impact of policies like the Community Development Employment Program, which allows Aboriginal people to stay on the netherworld of welfare dependency as if that was some kind of real job and not be forced out into the economy to find a job - wages which are paid for by some actual productivity," she said.
"Welfare dependency has a large reach in the Aboriginal world - much larger than in the rest of Australia - because there are so many programs, and all these programs are constructed, when you get down to the essence, on the belief that Aborigines can't do it because they are racially different."
But what of government policies which are designed to preserve Indigenous cultural heritage? Professor Langton says they would not be lost.
I am an Aboriginal man with two teenage sons, please tell me where I can go to join this line for "black money"... I have never been eligible for welfare... To perpetuate the myth that the contrary is the case is bell ringing.
"If we define Aboriginal people as descended from the First Peoples, then yes, cultural heritage, language maintenance and a range of issues become very important policy issues," she said.
"They have to do with the right to identify as Indigenous and to maintain cultural and linguistic traditions and other traditions like land traditions - and these are all set out in the Declaration on Human Rights.
"They would be legitimate policies argued on the basis of a first people status and not a race theory."

In the '90s, few actresses set pulses racing like Elizabeth Hurley. The actress had a few minor roles early in her career, but her starring turn in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery cemented her legacy as one of the decade's most beautiful actresses. With one look at the recent photo she posted on Instagram, you'd have a hard time believing it was taken over 20 years after starring in the film.
A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) on
Following her Austin Powers appearance, one of Hurley's biggest roles was as the Devil in a remake of Bedazzled, which co-starred Brendan Fraser.
Sadly, one of the things the actress became well-known for was the controversial arrest for soliciting prostitution of her then-husband Hugh Grant.
The 51-year-old beauty queen took time away from acting to focus on her family and other endeavors, like starting her own clothing line. Hurley has a hand in designing many different outfits, most notably a line of bathing suits that she regularly models on her social media accounts.
In the above photo, Hurley dons a pair of bikini bottoms that she releases through the clothing line and, as to not draw attention away from the bottoms with a distracting top, she wore nothing else. However, it's possible that the attitude of wearing only the lower half had the opposite effect, as it's hard to check out fashionable swimwear when Hurley is posing so seductively.
Do you think Hurley should've kept her top on to sell more bikinis? Let us know in the comments!

9 people killed in sightseeing plane crash in U.S.
A sightseeing plane crashed in southeast Alaska Thursday killing all nine people onboard, US police said.
Emergency crews were able to reach the aircraft that crashed against a granite rock face and confirm the deceased, but weather in the fjords prevented recovery efforts, Megan Peters from Alaska\’s Department of Public Safety said.
"Due to inclement weather, the body recovery effort will not be attempted until tomorrow," she said in a statement.
The plane, a single-engine DHC-3 Otter, went down near down near Ketchikan, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The aircraft was reported to be part of Holland America Line, a cruise line operating in the area.
"We are incredibly distressed by this situation, and our thoughts and prayers are with those onboard the plane and their families," the cruise line said in a statement according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
Holland America Line was not available to comment to AFP on the reports.
The National Transportation Safety Board said on Twitter it was sending a "go-team" to the crash site to investigate.


Five Trends Shaping Next-gen, Data-intensive Supercomputing
Supercomputing is a key technology that can transform society and open the door to humanity’s next stage of technological evolution. Many nations are prioritizing supercomputing R&D, including the US, Japan, the EU, Russia, and China. China, for example, has 188 entries on the June 2021 release of the TOP500 most powerful supercomputers, with Tianhe-2A ranking 7th. Before that, Tianhe 2, Tianhe 3, and then Sunway Taihu Light topped the list ten consecutive times.
Nevertheless, new technologies like cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain have drawn attention away from supercomputing. And alongside a limited application ecosystem coupled with an insufficiently diverse machine-hour supercomputing service model, China’s supercomputing sector has much room to develop.
Seeing its broader value in terms of socioeconomic progress, an increasing number of provinces and cities in China are establishing supercomputing centers and deploying next-gen supercomputing systems. China currently runs 10 national-level supercomputing centers in major cities, including Tianjin, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Xi'an, with many more planned.
To transform supercomputing centers from computing service providers into integrated data value providers, China is prioritizing five supercomputing trends: diversified computing, all-optical networks, intensified data, containerized applications, and converged architecture.
Diversified computing is becoming mainstream. Traditional high-performance computing (HPC) systems use CPUs for double-precision floating-point computing, while emerging supercomputing systems use CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs for more powerful parallel computing. Today’s industry in China is stepping up R&D and the deployment of homegrown microprocessors and accelerators, improving the efficiency of diversified heterogeneous computing and improving the efficiency of diversified hybrid applications.
Optical switching technology is maturing and networks are becoming all-optical. Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and lossless data technologies make it possible for the computing, storage, and management networks in a supercomputing center to be integrated into a single box. An all-optical supercomputing Internet between supercomputing centers has been proposed to facilitate resource sharing.
Data is becoming intensified. Traditional supercomputing applications, such as weather forecasting, energy exploration, and satellite remote sensing, will generate increasing amounts of data as precision improves. Moreover, more than 80% of emerging supercomputing applications, including autonomous vehicles, genetic testing, and brain science, generate data at the petabyte scale. Larger data volumes, more data types and concurrent tasks, and higher reliability requirements demand more from supercomputing storage to deliver higher bandwidth, IOPS, reliability, and support for massive concurrent access.
Containerized applications. Containerization technology can encapsulate the supercomputing operating environment to decouple supercomputing applications from the underlying hardware, making supercomputing easier to use for the majority of non-expert users. Containerization technology is currently open-source, making ecosystem development more viable.
Supercomputing architecture is converging. Aligned with the first four trends, supercomputing will adopt a heterogeneous, multi-state composite architecture to converge siloed resources, data, and applications. This means a unified, converged heterogeneous system in which CPUs, GPUs, and other dedicated computing power systems are scheduled on a unified service scheduling platform. Various supercomputing applications will be managed on a unified application platform and data assets carried by a unified data foundation. Data silos will be broken down, ensuring that no data needs to be migrated if the data foundation remains unchanged, optimizing TCO and boosting ROI.
Data-intensive supercomputing at the core
Of the five trends, data intensification is the most significant. Traditionally, supercomputing is mainly used to solve computing problems. Customers bring data on hard drives to a supercomputing center and copy the results back onto hard drives, leaving no data for long-term storage in the center. However, the evolution of supercomputing has led to both changes and new challenges.
First, the amount of data involved in computing has increased dramatically. For example, the improvement in precision by applications like weather forecasting and satellite remote sensing has doubled data volumes. More types of data, both structured and unstructured, are involved in computing. For example, image data is directly used for computing in applications like brain science and electron cryomicroscopy (CryoEM).
Second, computing power has increased dramatically. Currently, few single tasks can consume all the computing power in a cluster, so multiple tasks run concurrently in most cases. The 100 PFLOPS HPC Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University can run nearly 50 concurrent tasks, some of which require high bandwidth while others require high I/O performance. Therefore, more balanced storage capabilities are needed.
Third, higher reliability is required. When traditional supercomputing was applied to research projects, users could tolerate iterative operations before a reliable result was obtained. However, today's supercomputing is mostly applied to production systems that have higher requirements on the reliability of both results and processes. Storage systems therefore need to be extraordinarily reliable.
Fourth, supercomputing centers and data centers need to converge. In recent years, supercomputing centers are exploring more diversified services such as AI computing, big data analytics, virtualization, and disaster recovery. During this process, centers have found data mobility to be the biggest problem, as storage is split between supercomputing files, virtualized blocks, machine learning objects, and big data HDFS. Mobilizing stored data is the biggest challenge facing supercomputing centers.
These developments are both challenges and opportunities for the data storage industry, an industry that is key to transforming supercomputing from computing-intensive into data-intensive.
Data-intensive supercomputing serves as a data-centric, high-performance data analytics platform with the analytics capabilities of traditional supercomputing, big data analytics, and AI. It supports end-to-end scientific computing services through application-driven, unified data sources. It also provides diversified computing power for both research and business, and provides high-level data value services leveraging accumulated knowledge about data.
Data-intensive supercomputing transitions computing centers to centers delivering diversified computing services. Ultimately, diversified computing convergence and a unified storage foundation for massive data will enable high-performance data analytics, driving supercomputing from the computing-service era to the data-value era (Figure 2).
Data-intensive supercomputing delivers the following value:
Research: The architecture that converges HPC, AI, and big data technologies is an interdisciplinary innovation fueled by data-intensive research. It facilitates the evolution of research from the third paradigm (computational science) to the fourth paradigm (data science).
Business: The unified data foundation is converged, efficient, secure, and low-carbon, reducing the lifecycle management costs of massive structured and unstructured data and improving the data utilization efficiency of applications that converge scientific computing, big data, and AI.
Industry: Chinese-made high performance data analytics (HPDA) software, parallel file systems, and data storage and data management systems have boosted the development of China's supercomputing storage industry and application technology ecosystem.
Figure 1: Supercomputing entering the data-value era
Wide adoption of data-intensive supercomputing
Data-intensive supercomputing is widely used in scientific research, manufacturing, and business.
For example, in gene sequencing applications, MGI's DNBSEQ-T7 sequencer generates 4.5 TB of data every 24 hours. At full load, that totals 1.7 PB of data a year. Analyzing biological information generally creates intermediate files and results that are about five times the volume of the original data. West China Hospital adopted data-intensive supercomputing to improve gene sequencing efficiency, shortening the time required for a single gene sequencing task from 3 hours to just minutes.
Autonomous applications are highly complex and involve more than 10 steps, including data import, preprocessing, training, simulation, and results analysis. Each requires different protocols such as object, NAS, and HDFS. Data silos are also a major issue, because it takes twice as long to copy data than it does to process and analyze it. The auto maker Geely-Volvo has adopted data-intensive supercomputing and uses a single data foundation to support multi-protocol interoperability and adapt to the entire service process, reducing data storage costs while improving data analysis efficiency.
In university supercomputing applications, the π supercomputer series at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Hanhai supercomputer series at the University of Science and Technology of China provide more balanced data access capabilities by adopting data-intensive supercomputing. The series can support more than 50 concurrent supercomputing tasks with different load demands. When computing facilities are upgrading, legacy data can be stored for a long time without migration to provide greater support for research tasks.
Figure 2: Data-centric, data-intensive supercomputing
At the Ninth Supercomputing Innovation Alliance Conference held in China in September 2021, a data-intensive supercomputing working group was established, recognizing data as equally as important as computing power. Data intensification was also a key topic at the Seventh China Scientific Data Conference held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia a month later. And at CCF HPC China 2021, Huawei and the CCF HPC Profession Committee jointly released the Data-intensive Supercomputing Technology White Paper.
The industry consensus is that data-intensive computing can unlock a thriving supercomputing industry covering data collection, storage, computing, transmission, and utilization capabilities.

Facebook Nick Clegg, Facebook vice president, states social media giant also connected false info warnings to 150m posts Facebook vice president Nick Clegg stated had the business had withdrawn 120,000 posts relating to the United States election. Picture: Stefan Rousseau/PA
An overall of 2.2 m ads on Facebook and Instagram have actually been rejected and 120,000 posts withdrawn for trying to “obstruct tally” in the upcoming United States governmental election, Facebook’s vice president Nick Clegg has said.In addition, cautions were published on 150m examples of false information published online, the previous British deputy prime minister notified French weekly Journal du Dimanche on Sunday.
Facebook has in fact been increasing its efforts to avoid a repeat of events leading up to the 2016 United States governmental election, won by Donald Trump, when its network was utilized for efforts at person modification, performed from Russia.There were similar
concerns ahead of Britain’s 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union.” Thirty-five thousand staff members take care of the security of our platforms and contribute for elections,” stated Clegg, who is vice president of worldwide affairs and interactions at Facebook.”We have really established collaborations with 70 specialised media, consisting of 5 in France, on the verification of details”, he included.AFP is amongst those partners.Clegg included that the company also makes use of skilled system that has” made it possible to remove billions of posts and phony accounts, even before they are reported by users”. Facebook also stores all ads and information on their funding and provenance for seven years” to ensure openness,”he said. In 2016, while he was still deputy prime minister, Clegg complained to the Journal du Dimanche that Facebook had not acknowledged or reduced a single foreign network interfering in the United States election.On Wednesday, Trump rebuked Twitter and facebook for obstructing links to a New York Post brief article professing to expose corrupt transactions by election competitor Joe Biden and his kid Hunter in Ukraine.A day previously Facebook revealed a ban on ads that discourage individuals from getting immunized, since of the coronavirus pandemic which the social media networks giant stated has”highlighted the value of preventive health behaviours”.

When considering whether Boston Terriers smell, it’s helpful to compare their scent profile with other dog breeds, given their unique traits and quirks. This comparison can provide a clearer perspective on whether Boston Terriers are notably more odorous than other breeds.
Boston Terriers are generally not known to be a particularly smelly breed. Like all dogs, they have their own natural scent, which can vary from one individual to another. Some Boston Terriers might have a slight ‘doggy’ scent due to natural oils in their skin, while others may not have any noticeable odor at all.
Compared to other breeds, Boston Terriers do not have a reputation for being especially smelly. Breeds known for having stronger odors include those with more oily coats or those prone to specific health issues affecting their scent. The natural scent of a Boston Terrier is typically mild and not as pungent as some other breeds, such as hounds or working dogs known for their strong body odor.
Understanding this breed-specific scent profile can help in managing expectations and in ensuring proper grooming and hygiene practices. Regular grooming, proper diet, and veterinary care play a vital role in maintaining a pleasant scent in Boston Terriers.

Why Does My Boston Terrier Smell Like Corn Chips
A curious aspect of ‘do Boston Terriers smell’ comes from a surprising source – many dog owners don’t realize that Boston Terriers, like all dogs, sweat through their paws. This can create the perfect breeding ground for an overgrowth of Pseudomonas and Proteus, commonly known as yeast. Yeasts are budding-spore-like forms of fungi.
Paws are the ideal place for yeast to grow because there is moisture and the fur between the toes is sometimes overgrown. Ears are also a common area for yeast infection. The yeast overgrowth can be caused by a sudden increase in oil on your terrier’s skin or an increase in sweat. Yeast infections can be seasonal and can happen quickly, especially if you live in an area where spring and summer are hot and humid seasons.
If yeast is allowed to grow unchecked, it can cause skin irritation in other places on the body, including the ears. Like the paws, the ears are a warm and moist place for yeast to grow rapidly. If your dog is chewing on its paws and or scratching its ears it could be signs of a yeast infection.
If an undiagnosed yeast infection goes untreated for an extended amount of time it can become irritating to your dog. Your veterinarian can confirm a yeast infection diagnosis. In the meantime, the two biggest behaviors and symptoms to look for aside from the corn chip smell are scratching and excessive licking. If you have tried distracting your dog with toys or treats and they do not discourage the licking it could be a sign of a yeast infection.
Signs and Symptoms of a Yeast Infection in Your Boston Terrier
- The skin turns pink or red, which may not be apparent through the dog’s fur.
- Greasy skin which produces excess oil.
- Head shaking and or tilting
- Scaly skin could become crusty or flaky and resemble dandruff
- Odor resembling the smell of corn chips is often an early indicator.
- Hair loss can occur around the ears or other infected areas.
- The skin can turn red and feel warm to the touch.
- Yeast infections in the mouth are rare, but cause drooling, discomfort, and problems eating.
How to Treat Your Boston Terriers Yeast Infections at Home
There are some treatments you as an owner can do at home to treat potential yeast infections. There are medicated baths that will help as long as there are not any other infections bothering your dog. Anti-fungal shampoo can help get the yeast infection under control. Typically, it will require a bath every three to five days for two to two and a half weeks for the best results.
After each bath, it is important to dry the dog’s paws thoroughly. If this is where the yeast infection is located, then the area needs to be kept dry if at all possible. Remember dogs sweat through their paws, so you may need to dry the paws more often than you typically would when trying to fight a yeast infection.
Owners can also trim the fur between the dog’s paws to make that area a less attractive breeding ground for yeast. The trimmed and dry paws will also allow owners to apply medication. Other than the shampoo, medication can come in the form of topical creams that can be applied to your dog’s skin. The anti-fungal cream should be used according to the directions on the medication.
Vinegar Rinse May Help
Another home remedy that may help clear up a yeast infection is a vinegar rinse. It is the only home remedy with any scientific data to support it. Vinegar can change the pH balance and make your dog’s skin a less desirable place for yeast to grow. The vinegar must be diluted and a vet should probably be consulted to determine exactly how to dilute it. A yeast infection that goes deeper may require oral medication and a worst-case scenario could require surgery.
What Causes The Yeast Infection and Corn Chip Smell
Surprisingly enough, a yeast infection on the skin could be caused by problems in your Boston Terrier’s immune system. An underactive immune system can trigger yeast overgrowth and infections. On the other hand, an overactive immune system may trigger allergic reactions which also lead to yeast infections.
Environmental allergens like pollens and molds can cause a yeast infection. This could also coincide with seasonal heat and high humidity in many locations. When it is warmer outdoors, owners are more likely to take their dogs along with them to water activities. The warmer weather could mean that your dog is getting much more exercise and spending much more time in the sun.
Outdoor activities also mean your dog may need more frequent baths. It is very important to keep your dog’s ears and paws very dry. Along with wax, discharge, and foreign objects, water and debris can also be trapped in the ear canal. All of this could lead to the development of yeast infections in a dog’s ears.
Ear Mites or Yeast
Once you notice the symptoms of scratching at the ears or tilting their head you can visit a vet for an accurate diagnosis. This is important because ear mites and yeast infections can have similar symptoms. However, there are slight differences.
Ear mites cause dark, waxy, or crusty discharge and are barely visible to the naked eye. These mite bites are practically invisible, extremely itchy, and very contagious. Other pets can contract the mites when they are in close contact with the infected dog.
A vet can determine the difference when they use an instrument called an otoscope to look inside the ear. The vet will take a sample from inside and around the ear. This will help determine if the infection is yeast or bacteria. The mites also lack the distinctive corn chip smell often given off by a yeast infection.
Recurring Yeast Infections
Yeast infections can be cured, but some dogs may have recurring episodes. Owners will want to consult a vet when yeast infections and the corn chip smell continue to occur. Owners will be asked to look at their Boston Terrier’s diet to make sure it is healthy.
Dogs need to avoid treats with refined carbohydrates like potatoes, corn, wheat, rice, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup. This includes avoiding feeding your dog from the table because human food can be high in all of these ingredients. Problems in the digestive tract need to be solved, and a vet is the best person to determine the root of the problem.
Once the digestive problems are determined and addressed, your Boston Terrier should be able to find some relief from recurring yeast infections.
Are Yeast Infections in Dogs Contagious
Yeast infections are not contagious to other dogs even if they come into direct contact with each other. Although yeast infections can lead to secondary infections like bacterial or fungal infections which can be contagious to other animals. One example of this would be ringworm.
Preventing the Corn Chip Smell
If it’s possible, owners should keep their dogs inside as much as they can during extreme heat and humidity. Keep your dog’s ears clean and healthy while checking these places on the dog’s body frequently. Completely dry your dog’s paws and ears after a bath or an unintended fun dip in a mud puddle.
If you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself, then have a groomer trim or tweeze any hair at the opening o the ear. Do the same with the hair between your dog’s toes. Invest in good quality dog food and watch for allergies. Remember to avoid foods high in carbohydrates and high-fructose corn syrup, including human food.
Reasons Other Than Yeast Causing Bad Smells
- Dental problems caused by a build-up of plaque and tartar can cause bad breath. Small breeds like terriers are prone to gum disease. Gingival Hyperplasia is an overgrowth of gums that can trap small bits of food and create a smell worse than just bad breath.
- Flatulence or farting, as it is commonly called, is bad-smelling gas and can often be caused by an intolerance to a food or an ingredient in their food. Owners should work with their vet on a diet. If that does not work, then there may be underlying conditions.
- Atopy caused by seasonal or food allergies can cause skin inflammation that can lead to excessive oil secretions from certain glands. Like yeast infections, it is caused by a high carbohydrate diet.
- Boston Terriers, like all dogs, have two anal sacs on their bottom. These two scent sacs are used for marking their territory. This is why dogs sniff each other’s butts when introduced. If these sacs become impacted, then the dog will be in pain as well as smell bad. The secretions stay in the fur and smell terrible. Dragging their bottom on the ground can be a clue that there is a problem with the anal sacs. These sacs can be squeezed to release the pressure and build-up. This can be done by a groomer or by a vet.
There are many reasons your Boston Terrier may occasionally smell bad. As a breed, they typically do not smell bad, so when owners notice an odor, especially a corn chip smell, they should look for reasons. The corn chip smell is typically caused by an overgrowth of yeast which, if unchecked, will cause an infection.
Yeast grows best in warm damp places on your dog’s body like the paws and ears. It is important to keep these areas dry after bathing, swimming, or becoming wet in any way. Dogs sweat through their paws, so it is important to dry them off after being outside in hot and humid weather.
If yeast infections persist, it could signal an allergy or dietary issue. Diets high in carbohydrates and high-fructose corn syrup can cause yeast infections. Food allergies could also cause your dog to have quite foul-smelling gas, otherwise referred to as farts.
Owners should avoid these foods and also avoid feeding their dogs from their own plates. There are home remedies for yeast infections. You may choose to use a medicated shampoo to fight the infection. Vinegar rinses have also been proven to help; however, owners should consult with a vet about the best way to dilute it before rinsing their dog with it.
There are also topical creams that can be applied to the affected area. Ultimately, a vet is the most qualified person to determine what is causing your Boston Terrier’s stink because there are a wide variety of causes. These causes could be seasonal or food allergies along with the climate in which you live.
Food allergies may include other digestive disorders. Another leading cause of a smelly dog is untreated dental problems. Just like their owners, dogs can suffer when plaque and tartar build up on their teeth, and especially in small dogs, the excess build-up can eventually get infected and smell terrible.
Once owners consult their dog’s vet, the process of diagnosing the problem can be started. Treatment of the corn chip-smelling yeast infection can include a medicated shampoo, a vinegar rinse, or a topical cream. Changes in diet can also be implemented to determine a food allergy or sensitivity. You may be advised to cut carbs out of the dog’s diet because it has been successful in clearing up the smell before it continues growing.
While the smell is aggravating to you as an owner, it could be a sign of a serious health problem for your Boston Terrier. It is important to properly identify the cause of the smell so it can be treated correctly. Not only will your nose get some relief, but your dog will get relief from a possibly painful, itchy, and smelly condition.
A Curious Case of the Fritos Smell: A Personal Boston Terrier Tale
The question ‘do Boston Terriers smell’ became a personal query when my wife and I noticed a peculiar Fritos-like smell in our living room, initially suspecting a forgotten bag of chips left by our kids. The hunt for the source of this snacky scent led us on a comical search, looking under couches and behind cushions, expecting to find a stale, crumpled bag of Fritos.
After a thorough yet futile search, we were baffled. The scent, though not unpleasant, was persistent and somewhat intriguing. It was then that we realized the source was, in fact, our beloved Boston Terrier, Bailey. We were both surprised and amused to discover that Bailey’s natural scent was the mysterious ‘Fritos’ aroma permeating our living room.
This discovery led us to learn more about the unique scent profiles of Boston Terriers. We found out that the Fritos smell is quite common in this breed, caused by the natural oils in their skin and the yeast that lives on it. Realizing that this was a normal and harmless characteristic of our furry friend was reassuring. It also underscored the importance of regular grooming and check-ups to ensure that any unusual smells were just part of their natural scent and not a sign of an underlying issue.
This little episode with Bailey not only added a humorous memory to our family’s Boston Terrier experiences but also deepened our understanding and appreciation of the breed’s unique characteristics.

The Charpy V-notch specimen is the most commonly used specimen geometry in reactor pressure vessel irradiation surveillance programs and there is an extensive stored inventory of irradiated broken Charpy specimens. The advantage of the mini-C(T) (4mm thick C(T)) specimen technique is that multiple specimens can be machined from each half of broken irradiated Charpy specimens. Fracture toughness specimens that can be machined from broken halves of standard Charpy specimens enable the direct measurement of fracture toughness which can be used for engineering evaluation of reactor pressure vessels. Work to validate the mini-C(T) specimens has been performed mostly on unirradiated reactor pressure vessel base and weld metals .
In this study, mini-C(T) specimens were tested providing fracture toughness characterization of an irradiated low upper-shelf Linde 80 weld (WF-70). This weld was utilized in the Midland beltline and has been previously well characterized at ORNL with various types and sizes of fracture toughness specimens. The mini-C(T) specimens were machined from broken previously tested Charpy V-notch size specimens which were irradiated in a material test reactor.
The effect of different methods of measuring the displacement on the results is assessed. The ASTM E1921 results are compared to previous test data produced from larger fracture toughness specimens. In addition, the sensitivity of T0 to the ASTM E1921 censoring value is discussed.

The first Taiwanese pilot to circumnavigate the globe in a single-engine airplane died on Friday after the small plane he was flying crashed at San Gabriel Valley Airport in El Monte, California, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.
Jeffrey Ying (應天華), 63, was the first pilot from the US’ Chinese-speaking community to fly around the world in a single-engine airplane in July 2010.
Ying, a Taiwanese expatriate, had been running a fleet of planes with his friends in the US, who also flew the aircraft annually for Double Ten National Day celebration events at Monterey Park in California since 2011, Chinese American Pilots and Aircraft Owners Association director James Bu (卜君力) said.
The crashed plane had a Republic of China national emblem painted on the fuselage and was similar to a decommissioned air force trainer aircraft.
The cause of the crash was likely related to mechanical problems, the ministry said, adding that it would provide Ying’s family whatever assistance it needed.
The Los Angeles Times said that Ying’s Pazmany PL-2 took off at about 9:30am, but crashed shortly afterward.
Video broadcast by local TV news outlets from the scene at a corner of the airport showed the aircraft’s nose flattened at an angle and its left wing crumpled.
Ying, who had more than 2,000 hours of flight experience, acquired the PL-2 many years ago, Bu said.
Ying remodeled the plane to look like a Taiwanese trainer and painted the code 5858 himself, Bu said.
In 2010, Ying and his wife, Renee Chen (陳小平), took 82 days to fly 41,843km across 26 countries. Ying became the 166th person to accomplish the endeavor, the Chinese-language United Daily News said.
SAFETY RISK: The government is working to categorize countries based on their COVID-19 cases and prevention efforts, which would determine quarantine periods The government plans to rank countries based on their COVID-19 risks to determine how to treat tourists and other travelers from those nations once Taiwan reopens its borders, but it is still working out the categories, a top health official told lawmakers yesterday. “We would divide countries around the world into several categories. One category would comprise those countries with very few confirmed COVID-19 cases, such as New Zealand and Palau. Travelers from the countries in this category would only need to practice self-health management,” Centers for Disease Control Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) told a Legislative Yuan seminar hosted by
China would attack Taiwan if there is no other way of stopping it from becoming independent, Chinese General Li Zuocheng (李作成) said yesterday. Speaking at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People on the 15th anniversary of China’s “Anti-Secession” Law, Li, who is chief of the Joint Staff Department of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Central Military Commission, left the door open to using force. The 2005 law is China’s legislative basis for military action against Taiwan. “If the possibility for peaceful reunification is lost, the people’s armed forces will, with the whole nation, including the people of Taiwan, take all necessary steps to
SECURITY CONCERNS: The Telecom Technology Center ran black-box tests for the Executive Yuan on devices and software from Chinese, US and South Korean firms Network devices from several Chinese manufacturers are insecure and allow personal information to be leaked, testing commissioned by the Executive Yuan has shown. A variety of devices and software, including apps, from Chinese, US and South Korean manufacturers that are used by government agencies at the central and local level were subjected to black-box testing — in which the functionality of an application is examined without knowing about its internal structure, an information-security official said yesterday on condition of anonymity. The Telecom Technology Center conducted the tests, which simulated cyberattacks, to determine their resilience to the attacks, the official said. The center
CASH BOOST: Foreign spouses with residency permits are also eligible for the coupons, which can be bought at post offices or linked to digital payment options Stimulus coupons for Taiwanese and foreign spouses with residency permits can be ordered starting on July 1 and can be used from July 15 to Dec. 31, the Executive Yuan said yesterday. Aimed at boosting domestic spending, the coupons worth NT$3,000 (US$100.04) are to cost NT$1,000. “For our consumers, this is a very good deal as they get three times as much value for their money,” Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) told a news conference in Taipei. While the coupons are to have a wide range of uses, including at department stores, restaurants, book stores, night markets, beauty and hair salons, hotels, and to
