Balloons, ribbons, and bows from bouquets and gifts could be an interesting thing for your dog to chew on, but they could cause serious problems with his digestive system if ingested.
Flowers such as lilies, chrysanthemums, primroses, and agapanthus are all deadly to dogs, and other plants, such as roses, could also cause issues.
A good way to spoil your pet on Valentine’s Day is to treat him to his favourite meal (be careful not to overfeed him) or just take him on an extra-long walk and spend some special one-to-one time with him.
If you’re making your other half a romantic dinner, make sure that you don’t give him any human foods, or keep him away when cooking or eating. It’s also important to keep him away from alcohol and candles.
Chocolate is extremely dangerous and harmful to dogs, so keep any Valentine’s Day sweet treats away from your four-legged friend. If your dog does manage to get hold of something that he shouldn’t, make sure that you take him to the vet immediately.

Praxair Inc. has signed an agreement with ThyssenKrupp to supply oxygen, nitrogen and argon to the group’s new state-of-the-art carbon and stainless steel processing facilities which are currently under construction in Mobile, Alabama.
Praxair will build a 400 tpd onsite air separation plant to supply ThyssenKrupp’s requirements for oxygen, nitrogen and argon. The new plant will also generate liquefied industrial gas for the growing merchant customer base in the region.
ThyssenKrupp Steel USA and ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA, LLC, are constructing the $4.2bn manufacturing and processing facilities in the US as part of the company’s NAFTA strategy and an integral part of ThyssenKrupp’s overall global market strategy.
The new facilities will include a hot strip mill which will be used primarily to process slabs from ThyssenKrupp Steel’s new mill in Brazil. It will also feature cold rolling and hot-dip coating capacity for high-quality end products of flat carbon steel.
The facility will have an annual capacity of 4.1 million metric tons of carbon steel end products. In addition, ThyssenKrupp Stainless is building a cold rolling mill and a steel melt shop with an annual capacity of up to one million metric tons of slabs in the first phase.
“ThyssenKrupp's investment in new steel capacity in the southeastern United States is a critical step in the execution of their North American strategy and Praxair will be providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient plant to support the project,” said Ted Trumpp, Vice President East Region for Praxair's North American Industrial Gases organization.
With sales of €51.7bn and 191,350 employees in over 70 countries, ThyssenKrupp is one of the world’s major technology groups and occupies excellent positions on the international markets.

As an ecologist and conservation biologist, I am fascinated with the vast diversity of species on Earth and how they interact with their environment and other organisms. I am particularly interested in how climate change, urbanization, and other anthropogenic factors affect populations and communities. Understanding anthropogenic impacts to organisms is compelling to me for two main reasons: 1) humans exert a large and growing influence on Earth's biota, and 2) we can simultaneously learn about their basic ecology and address applied problems in conservation biology, management, and restoration.
I have broad interests and have worked in diverse systems ranging from Pacific Northwest forests and tropical bee communities in coffee farms to suburban vernal pool amphibians and coastal sandplain grassland communities. I use field experiments and observational monitoring, meta-analysis, and statistical models as my primary research tools.
January 2018: Thinking about doing a field experiment to understand biological effects of climate change? You should check out our new paper on how climate change experiments actually alter climate?
October 2018: Happy Autumn! I always think about phenology this time of year (wait, I think about phenology all times of the year!), so now is a great time to check out our new article in AJB about how early season events affect late season events. Thank you Arnold Arboretum for being a great place to do this research!
June 2018: At the end of August, I will be moving to Seattle, where I have accepted a NRC Research Associateship to work at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center with Jameal Samhouri. I'm looking forward to being back in the Pacific Northwest, and to studying marine systems!
March 2018: I had a great time out west for the Temporal Ecology Lab's OSPREE Retreat in British Columbia- beautiful place, great people, productive work!
July 2017: The Wolkovich Lab, of which I am a (mostly) remote member, came to D.C. to work on a lab research project! It was great to see everyone in-person for a change!
March 2017: Are tree ranges likely to consistently and evenly shift up with warming? Our research says probably not, due to a switch from competitive to facilitative interactions between trees across the range. Read about it in Global Change Biology!
January 2017: Our paper on conifer regeneration in a Seattle urban forest is available at Urban Ecosystems!
December 2016: I attended the AGU fall meeting for the first time and really enjoyed the mix of biology and physical science there! I presented our Arnold Arboretum work, written up here by science writer Ula Chrobak.
November 2016: Our paper on modelling death in orchids is available at Journal of Ecology! Sounds morbid, perhaps, but it’s not- I promise!
April 2016: I thoroughly enjoyed working with other climate change biologists for our Radcliffe Exploratory Seminar on “Predicting Future Springs”!
December 2015: Happy Holidays! Among other things, I enjoyed exploring Washington, D.C. and New York City over the holidays with my family. A couple of botanical highlights of the season: 1) visiting model train exhibits at the U.S. Botanic Garden and the NY Botanic Garden- both gorgeous and the perfect places for a botanist and her train-obsessed three-year old, and 2) seeing cherry trees blooming on the national mall- a result of the wacky warm weather we had this December.
September 2015: I’ve recently begun to collaborate with Andy Royle, a fabulous statistician at USGS who is my new mathematical mentor for my postdoctoral fellowship. Looking forward to learning more Bayesian hierarchical modeling techniques from him, as well as exploring the wildlife refuge where his office is located!

While bay and bow windows are both excellent choices for any Cincinnati living or family room, they do have several relevant differences you need to know about before making a decision, say the window installation experts at Murphy Home Improvement. What are the distinctions between these two beautiful styles of windows that both let ample light in and serve as a focal point for any room in the house? The guide below helps homeowners decide if bay or bow windows will work best for their needs.
Bay windows are known for their impressive presentation, complete with three distinctive glass openings. These commonly consist of one picture window combined with two other, smaller types, depending on the model. The bay style’s modern look complements contemporary and newly built homes and appears much sleeker than bow windows. Keep in mind, however, these often protrude further out from the wall than bow windows do. While this adds more floor space to the interior, they don’t feature as wide and sprawling of a look as bow windows.
In contrast to bay windows, bow windows are more curved and have four or five openings and a wider overall frame. Their snaky structures are also ideal for wrapping around the corner of a home, creating a dynamic exterior look and providing a cozy nook for the family on the interior side. Classic residences and especially Victorian-style homes benefit from bow windows, which provide a more timeless yet sophisticated feel.
Whether you’re interested in bow or bay windows, your local home improvement experts can help you choose and install them. For quality windows in any style, call Murphy Home Improvement in Cincinnati, OH, at (513) 922-8989. To learn more about their window designs, visit their website.

Ghanaian actress Fella Makafui has been in the limelight for a relatively short period but her love life has been one of the most talked about.
The story of the controversy surrounding her current love affair with Medikal is still fresh in the minds of people and many people think she snatched the rapper from Sister Derby.
Apart from that, the young actress has often been accused of dating 'sugar daddies' including one Alhaji who reportedly took away cars he had bought for Fella over her relationship with Medikal.
Recently, a movie producer, Samuel De-Graft Yeboah, who claims to have brought the actress to the limelight deepened the 'sugar daddy' mystery about Fella with claims that the actress was dating a married man when he first met her.
While all these things have come up about Fella, not much has been revealed of Fella's love life before she appeared in the YOLO series and became famous.
Well, that seems to have changed now as photos of the man she was believed to be dating before the fame have popped up online.
Photos of the young man sighted by YEN.com.gh indicate that he is currently a soldier. His name is Pomary Gamel Stanley and is credited to have introduced Fella to the media limelight.
Apparently, the actress broke up with Pomary after landing a role in the YOLO series.

At their most basic, illnesses and inflammatory conditions in our bodies represent an imbalance of some kind. They are signaling to us that we need to make changes in order to find our personal equilibrium again. We have way too much in column A and not enough in column B. Though these imbalances seem to pop up overnight, they have been brewing for some time. Our bodies are robust and amazing at dealing with the toxins we dump into them and slather on them every day, but at some point, enough is enough. When we reach our breaking point, imbalances appear.
Our typical response to an imbalance is to pour more into column A. We fight fire with fire. Take acne for example. If we start with the premise that microbiome dysbiosis is at issue, then attacking the skin with antibiotics (topically and internally), stripping cleansers, and drying treatments will only serve to exacerbate the issue. At the same time, simply ignoring the skin and the ongoing dysbiosis will do nothing to remedy the issue either. It's about finding the balance. You need to give your skin the proper care and nutrition that it needs to heal without overdoing it. Your natural inclination will be to overdo it. A balanced approach will yield soft, plump, healthy skin in the areas where acne isn't present and offer you a glimpse of what your skin will look like when it clears up!
This balanced approach is not just about topical skincare either. A balanced approach to diet will land you somewhere between deprivation and indulgence. You don't need to eliminate all of the foods that you love, but they also can't be a cornerstone of your diet. When we are talking about whole foods, there aren't any "bad" foods, but the right balance for you might involve fewer grains and more healthy fats, for example. Approach diet from a place of curiosity and experiment when you feel ready. You might be clinging to your eggs and Half & Half for dear life today, but tomorrow you might be willing to see what life without them is like. If you make changes on your timetable, they are more likely to stick.
It's also important to find the balance in areas of self care and stress management. The balance between constantly doing and meditating 24 hours a day. Spending time in silence or meditating or breathing is vital for achieving a healthy mindset. A shift in mindset can move us towards our most authentic selves and help to build feelings of self worth. By the same token, spending too much time in our own heads can lead to overanalyzing and become its own form of paralysis and stress. It's about finding the balance. The balance between doing and being. The balance between aggressive confrontation and repressing our true thoughts and feelings.
Finding the balance in life can temper restless seeking and inspire activity when we feel overwhelmed to the point of inaction.
Use that as your guide and you'll find the balance!

If the voices sound a little happier on Tuesday night's baseball broadcast of the Phillies game vs. the Los Angeles, don't be surprised.
For the third year, Comcast Sportsnet will move the broadcast booth around the park a little to give the fans a chance to hear a different call of the game and possibly view the broadcast if you're at the stadium.
This year, the broadcast will be located out near Harry The K's Restaurant in left field, it's a lot of fun, and who can forget Tom McCarthy's catch of a home run ball when they recorded from the center field location a couple season's ago on June 27th, 2014. He made the catch so effortlessly, and then flung the ball back on the field because the opposing team had hit the home run.
McCarthy, who assumed the role of 'the voice' of the Phillies on television after Harry Kalas passed away, had this to say about the different locations that Sportsnet has broadcasted from, "To be able to broadcast from different parts of the ballpark is such a treat for all of us,” said McCarthy. “Over the last couple of seasons we have been able to absorb the great vibes at the ballpark and enjoy the game with the best fans in baseball. This year will be no different. The perch at Harry the Ks is not only special in name but in atmosphere. This is a great opportunity for us to show off some of the best spots to watch a game. I know I can speak for Matt and Ben when I say we are excited for this baseball moment."
All of this is of course dependent on weather conditions, if rain is forecast in the area, the plan may have to be scuttled.
Speaking of Harry Kalas, he will be honored with a bobble figurine on Saturday, August 20th, 2016, all fans will get the Harry Kalas figurine upon entrance to the ballpark when the Phils play the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:05 PM.

Arena UK played host to the fourth John Whitaker International Winter JA Classic at the weekend. With three qualifying places up for grabs each day (Saturday and Sunday) the show was heavily contested.
The first John Whitaker International Winter JA Classic class saw eight combinations jump clear proceeding into the first jump off. With five more jumping a second clear, it was Alex Chitty from Gravesend, Kent who took the win riding his mother’s (Amy) 10 year old grey mare, Amilie JR Z. The pair jumped a foot perfect round in a time of 38.37 seconds, 4 seconds quicker than 2nd place Alex Gill. Alex partnering Lynn Barker’s 8 year old British bred dark bay gelding, Ammanvalley Santino jumped the only other treble clear of the class in a time of 42.74 seconds.
The next day gave riders a second chance to qualify, and saw twenty nine riders contest the class. Eight combinations jumped a first round clear with five jumping a second. It was Christie Pritchard from Holyhead, Gwynedd that jumped the only treble clear to take the win in a time of 31.31 seconds. Christie rode Amanda Farr’s 15 year old grey gelding Birchill Dessy. Current John Whitaker International Winter JA Classic title holders Beth Vernon & Allyson Blagg’s Cinderella’s Girl took second place. The pair jumped a fantastic round in a super quick time of 31.26 seconds but an unfortunate role of a pole left them with 4faults.
John Whitaker International Ltd was established in 1998 with the aim of finding top quality equestrian clothes and equipment. Today they lead the field for innovative design and the use of modern fabrics to bring equestrian clothing to the cutting edge of sporting achievement. John and his wife Clare, have a huge input into product development and selection. Consequently the John Whitaker range has been tried and tested at the highest levels. The company is investing a significant amount of money into squad plus supplying team uniform, casual clothing plus, fly rugs, waffle rugs and saddle cloths; all in team colours.

The third phase of punitive import duties being imposed upon goods of Chinese origin – published last night - does NOT include original works of art, collectables, antiques, or photographs (HTSUS Chapters 97 and 49). This is good news for our industry and will allow most within the artworld to continue business as normal.
Please note that some contemporary works of art may fall into other categories not specified above.
Many articles of furniture covered under Chapter 69 and 94 of the HTSUS commodities code are on the list of regulated items. Those items include ceramics, lamps, seats, couches, mattresses, chandeliers, etc. In addition to current duty rates you can expect an immediate additional duty of 10 % on such items, possibly jumping to 25 % at the beginning of 2019.
It is important to contact your Dietl International Representative early to discuss and confirm the duty/tax implications of all your imports – especially if goods of Chinese origin are included in your shipments.
1) The punitive import duties are being implemented in 3 stages (Tranches).
The 1st tranche (effective July 6th) - and the 2nd tranche - (effective August 23rd) - do NOT include original works of art, antiques and photographs.
There are no Chapter 49 (photographs), 94 (furniture) or 97 (original art & collectibles & antiques) commodities listed under this Tranche.
2) While Chapter 97 commodities are currently on the list for consideration, we do not know what commodities will end up on the final list or when third Tranche will go into effect.
At the direction of President Trump, the USTR is also reviewing a third list (or tranche) of products imported from China to the U.S. worth an additional $200B. The USTR is considering whether to impose tariffs of 10% or possibly 25% on that list of products. The comment period on that list ends September 6th. There is no indication in any public record of how soon after the end of comment period the final list will be determined and published, and when the additional tariffs will go into effect. At present, importation of art of Chinese origin will not be subject to the 25% tariff until mid to late September.
3) If Chapter 97 remains in the final list of published commodities for the 3rd tranche it will affect ALL works of Chinese Origin, regardless of where they are shipped from. If you decide to move inventory of Chinese origin from Europe to the US, you will still have to pay the 25 % import duty. Thus, you may want to consider returning any inventory you own to the US within the next month.
4) As part of the proposed tariff, the use of a foreign trade zone will not defer the additional 25% tariff on commodities.
"To ensure the effectiveness of the action, any merchandise subject to the increased tariffs admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone on or after the effective date of the increased tariffs, except those eligible for admission under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, would have to be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, and would be subject upon entry for consumption to the additional duty."
Please note the following information is based on current import regulations and dependent upon your individual shipping requirements, all information is subject to change. Please contact Dietl with any questions.
a) TIB - Import under a "Temporary Import Bond". The TIB is good for a period of 1 year and can be renewed in yearly increments up to 3 years.
Anything imported under TIB "MUST" be re-exported. If you fail to re-export any goods covered under TIB, you will pay a penalty of 2x (2 times) the duty amount - which in this case would be 75 % of the value!!!
b) Temporary import using a Carnet ATA. All works have to leave after the exhibition. Carnets are generally good for a period of 1 year - with some exceptions. China allows only 6 months.
c) Pay the import duties upon arrival and apply for a "duty drawback" upon re-export. It will tie up some cash, but you will be able to sell work off the wall. Of course, the 25 % import duty will probably make it difficult to sell any Chinese works to serious collectors going forward.
The drawback is a lengthy process and it can take up to 1 year to receive the refund for 99 % of the duties you paid for the returned property from the date of export.
For detailed costs pertaining to "duty drawback" upon re-export, please contact your Dietl representative.
We will continue to monitor the situation and of course keep you informed the moment we obtain additional relevant information.

Nvidia today fired the next salvo in the GPU arms race: The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Nvidia and arch-rival AMD have decided that 30 frames per second at 1080p resolution is the gaming sweet spot, and so the GPU designers have set about beating each other over the head to build the best chips for delivering that performance at a $150 price point.
While both companies happily oblige gamers craving higher performance-those with the financial means to satiate their hunger, that is-it's the mainstream products that generate the most cabbage. And they're certainly justified in designating 1080p a "mainstream resolution," since that's the spec most consumer-oriented 23- and 24-inch displays deliver.
To that end, Nvidia is looking to chop the legs out from under AMD, which announced its own "1080p sweet spot" offering- the Radeon HD 7790 -just last week. AMD set a price target of $150 for Radeon HD 7790 cards in order to compete with boards based on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which until then had been the sole occupants of that price bracket.
The price of cards based on Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost GPU will start at $149.
AMD maintains that its 7790 is on average 20 percent faster than Nvidia's original 650 Ti. But Nvidia announced that existing GeForce GTX 650 Ti cards with 1GB of memory will now sell for just $129. The new and faster GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost-which Nvidia claims is on average 40 percent faster than the original 650 Ti, and 10- to 20-percent faster than AMD's pricier Radeon HD 7850-will sell for $149. But there's a slight catch: The 1GB 650 Ti Boost cards won't begin shipping until early April. The models Nvidia says consumers can buy today come with 2GB of memory and cost $169.
Nvidia claims the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is on average 10- to 20-percent faster than AMD's Radeon HD 7850.
Nvidia also took the opportunity to counter an AMD talking point: all GeForce 650 Ti Boost cards will operate in two-way SLI, where the original 650 Ti cannot (a pair of AMD Radeon HD 7790 cards, it should be noted, can operate in two-way CrossFire mode).
The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is outfitted with 768 CUDA cores and runs at a base clock rate of 980 MHz. When the workload demands it, that clock rate is automatically boosted up to a top speed of 1033 MHz. The cards have a 192-bit memory interface to deliver memory speed of 6 gigabytes per second. Each card draws power from a single six-pin power connector (in addition to drawing power from the PCIe 3.0 bus). Cards based on this GPU will typically have dual DVI, DisplayPort 1.2, and HDMI on their mounting brackets, although third-party manufacturers are free to offer different designs (VGA, for instance).
Cards following Nvidia's reference design will be outfitted with dual DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort on the mounting bracket.
Third-party manufacturers will also offer overclocked cards at higher price points. EVGA, for example, today announced two products: A stock-clocked version that will sell for $169, and the $179 GeForce GTX Ti Boost Superclocked model, which will offer a base clock of 1072MHz and a boost clock of 1137MHz. Both models will be outfitted with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.
EVGA will offer two models based on the EVGA GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost, with the Superclocked version overclocked at the factory.

Bananaman, the blundering superhero with a cape of yellow peel, previously seen in the Beano and his own BBC cartoon series in the 80s, flies clumsily into this new musical by Leon Parris.
After being knocked out by a falling shard of meteorite, spotty teenager Eric Wimp (played with gawky charm by Mark Newnham) finds himself split in two. His clothes and self-confidence still sag, but whenever Eric eats a banana, his muscles rip and his IQ shrinks as he transforms into Bananaman (played by Matthew McKenna, complete with banana-tipped horns). As floppy villains chase the powerful meteor shard, Eric hopes to impress wannabe reporter Fiona (Emma Ralston), and so reluctantly gets his five-a-day and bounds into adventure.
In its original form, Bananaman lovingly parodied the silver age of comic books, but this musical’s sloppy slapstick and over-egged puns lack much of the slick wit and wordplay of the TV cartoon and the vivid design of the comic strip. Dipping into parody but still clinging to standard superhero cliche, it’s not until after the interval that this silly show finds any not-so-secret powers.
With half-hearted panto charm, the musical fits together about as well as Eric’s clothes. The script misses the opportunity for anything below surface level and, although there is a stellar live band, the repetitive songs rely too heavily on the cartoon’s theme tune and overlaid melodies turn into a splurge of sound rather than giving a sense of different character narratives.
The real hero is the marvellous Marc Pickering as Dr Gloom, the deliciously mischievous villain who trips over his own words and feet while concocting his evil plans, but still has enough heart to bring biscuits to meetings. Dr Gloom’s dynamism leaves little space for fellow villain General Blight (Carl Mullaney), who flails desperately for power, and only comes into his own in a hilarious but incomprehensible dance scene towards the end.
The supporting cast do well with muddled direction. In a rare instance of puppetry detracting from a show, Bananaman’s sidekick Crow is a messy addition and a waste of Jodie Jacobs, who is otherwise one of the strongest performers. TJ Lloyd as the bumbling Chief O’Reilly and Ralston as the courageous Jodie also stand out.
It’s the final standoff in Mark Perry’s uneven production that receives the longest laughs, with juvenile jokes entirely unrelated to the plot causing fits of hysterics. Bananaman may seem trite to younger viewers who can’t lean back on nostalgia, but stick with it and the second bite offered by this new musical is a real treat.
At Southwark Playhouse, London, until 20 January. Box office: 020-7407 0234.

Many compliance officers look at the cloud with suspicion, concerned with just how much data they can move there and still maintain cloud compliance. The central issue here is exposing critical data to interception, as well as preventing the loss of data.
This poses a difficult challenge: data in motion, either on a local area network (LAN) or the Internet, needs the same rock-solid protection regardless of the transport mechanism being used. This, in itself, is difficult because the security solutions used with LANs are more robust and controllable than those available over the Internet. The security imbalance prevents compliance-bound data from traveling over the Internet and so prevents the use of low-cost cloud services.
The answer to this imbalance lies in applying effective security solutions to each element involved in the storage and transmission of data. This is relatively simple for compliance officers to accomplish on the local level, but much more difficult to accomplish in the cloud.
Simply put, if the level of protection for data is consistently enforced throughout its journey, then cloud compliance shouldn’t be a problem. The key element becomes the creation, application, enforcement and secure the cloud for compliance purposes, it is important for compliance officers to make sure a security solution offers scalability, automation and auditing, and has adequate speed to meet traffic needs. It is the cloud, ironically, that creates the security problems, but it takes a cloud service to solve them.
When looking to secure the cloud for compliance purposes, it is important for compliance officers to make sure a security solution offers scalability, automation and auditing, and has adequate speed to meet traffic needs. It is the cloud, ironically, that creates the security problems, but it takes a cloud service to solve them.
All is not lost. Security technology, working hand-in-hand with policy-driven enforcement, is starting to transform into cloud-based services. For example, Cloud Passage, a cloud services company, has ambitions to transform how security is accomplished across a broad, multi-connected enterprise using commonly accepted concepts.
CloudPassage’s approach to the problem is an interesting one compared to those of its competitors. It uses SaaS to secure public and private clouds, which allows its product to serve as a virtualized firewall, but also to enforce security policies to servers anchoring both private and public clouds. This hybrid approach will enable delivery of security solutions that meet cloud compliance needs, while still allowing businesses access to clouds.

Welcome to another freshly baked batch of warm, cozy anime-on-TV listings, courtesy of myself! And various corporate sponsors.
I apologize in advance for the blog-like tone this week's edition is about to endure, but I am literally fresh from my jaunt to an advance screening of this year's “All Your Base”-style internet fad, Snakes on a Plane. Now, like anybody else with a computer and a completely healthy fondness for Turbo Teen, I spend a lot of time on the internet – but when the random sundries and in-jokes from the internet start permeating my real life, I grow a little concerned. Is my fragile concept of reality beginning to warp? Are the dudes chanting “NO U!” in the theater queue people, or perhaps a dire warning of years of brain tissue decay, caused by internet-related brain poisoning? I know one thing for certain: my brain hurts. I should move on.
Now here's something interesting. Funimation has once again taken a gamble with one of Japan's hugely successful shows, but instead of tailoring it for younger audiences, as it has been in Europe and other markets, Funimation is literally peppering the dub with lots of curse words, potty jokes, and lewd, self-referential humor.
For those of you keen on the “News” aspect of ANN, you're all well aware that Shin-Chan isn't technically a new show just yet. This week begins a continuous run of six cherry-picked episodes that Adult Swim will run for about a week or so; in other words, the jury is still out on this one. I've seen some of the clips Funimation has posted on their recently-updated Shin-Chan website, and there's potential there, but I need to check out a full episode to see whether or not all the re-tooling was a good idea. And so should you, gentle readers!
As the terrifying Iga clan continues their merciless assault, the Kouga clan must stand firm. Both in the literal and figurative sense, yes.
Saturday August 19 10:00pm - Episode 41 "The Magical Battle Against Halekulani"
Halekulani and his, uh, tyrannical assault on... something, comes to an end! Actually, I have no idea what Bo-bobo's cabal of bad guys really aspire to in the grand scope of cartoon villainy. There's mention of removing hair, but very little of that seems to actually transpire. I demand some stability in the milieu of this weird, nonsensical cartoon show about nosehair karate!
Saturday August 26 12:00am - Episode 21 "The Disappearing Act"
Conan and his newfound, comparable-in-size pals in the “Junior Detective League” make a trip to the cliché factory and stumble into a haunted house!
Eureka 7 is back! And on a... much worse timeslot. In other words; don't count on the latter 26 episodes ever airing, folks. Adult Swim seems to be done with it. If you'd rather I skip the dire prognosticating and just deliver on the synopsis, sure: as Renton struggles with his “relationship” with Eureka, the rest of the Gekkostate try to catch an elusive “skyfish” in order to use a special kind of magnetic film to repair the ailing Gekko ship.
Ed, Al and Winry make a much more lighthearted-than-last-week's-episode sojourn into Rush Valley, the “automail capital of the world.” The boys get unknowingly caught up in a competition for Winry to prove the strength of her automail against the rest of the metal-limb-creating hoi polloi.
Saturday August 26 12:00am - Episode 26 "The End and the Beginning"
This is the last episode of IGPX ever. Some will say, “Who?” Others will say, “What?” Yet others will run outside in the rain, shouting a triumphant “NO!” while on their knees, as the camera pans slowly upward. All of you, however, should check in on the robot-racin' antics of Team Satomi, and see if they have what it takes to beat Team White Snow in the IGPX finals.
As Inuyasha's posse closes in on Naraku, complications arise as Hosenki, an old friend of Inuyasha's father and owner of the last remaining sacred jewel shard, stands in their way.
Saturday August 12 9:00pm - Episode 48 "Gaara vs. Rock Lee: The Power of Youth Explodes"
I apologize for my Naruto gaffe last week; I called Neji and Hinata “siblings.” Even though they, meaning the characters themselves, refer to each other as such, they are in truth (...well, fictional ninja anime truth), cousins.
Anyway. This week, the finals begin to wrap up as Rock Lee unleashes a frightening barrage against the dangerous and creepy Gaara, who has been rumored to never have been injured in a fight.
Going by the previous episode of this surprisingly engaging kids' show, Molly and the rest of the Star-Racers are fully enveloped in playoff fever. Expect lots and lots of racing.
Saturday August 19 7:30pm - Episode 13 "Training Daze"
The bumbling trio that is Team Rocket decides to spend a few moments reminiscing of old times, as they think back to why they joined Team Rocket and how they became a trio in the first place.
Ukyo makes a very dramatic entrance, pardoning the soon-to-be-executed Kambei mere seconds before hitting the Executioner's chopping block. The Kanna village women are also freed, leading to much speculation by the other samurai as to Ukyo's intentions.
Meanwhile in episodes not yet in the double-digits, the group takes refuge in the abode of a kindly woman named Honoka; but then the Nobuseri arrive and just make a nuisance of themselves.
Saturday August 19 10:30am - Episode 9 "Hunter's Holiday"
Following weeks of rigorous fights and battles with various Happy Meal-esque toy-related action figurines, Hunter, the pugnacious protagonist, takes a sabbatical. Or will he?!?
The National Palace at Barcelona literally crumbles to the ground, so the awesomely-monikered Abel Nightroad books a trip to investigate.
Saturday August 19 12:00pm - Episode 47 "Chazz-anova"
This dude Chazz likes that chick Alexis. But because this is Yu-Gi-Oh, there'll be none of that usual, mundane courtship nonsense: a card duel sounds much more appropriate!
-Monday August 21 5:30pm - Episode 53 "Back to Duel"

-Thursday August 24 5:30pm - Episode 56 "Sad But Truesdale"
-Friday August 25 5:30pm - Episode 57 "The Demon"
Cartoon Network's rolling out the second season starting this week, which for those of you for whom this stuff is infinitely engaging will no doubt be thrilled. In this week's batch of Yu-Gi-Oh spinoff premieres: our heroes duel a promising new arrival, one of the top-ranking students, gang leaders, a girl, and maybe Jeff Goldblum.
Saturday August 19 9:30pm - Episode 63 "Burrah! Victoream's Anger!"
Victoream is a much tougher act than Kiyo and Zatch had anticipated, so they of course think up a plan and then execute said plan. Really.
All four of these “features” are only one-fifth to one-half parts good – the rest, quite atrocious. I'm sure of one where to clip out those good fractions and piece them together into one 94-minute feature, you'd have some solid, three-and-a-half-star viewing material. As it is, though, I'd have to advise: no.
That's it for: new stuff. Coming up: repeats. Next week: another column!

That’s nice. Also check http://w3af.sourceforge.net. It’s a really good audit framework, that can be useful for pentests.
Huge potential for this piece of software. Like Pantagruel will be watching this develop.
Works like a charm! love it.
sounds like something so keep your eyes on.
I released version 0.84 this weekend. So NetworkMiner now supports passive OS fingerprinting through sniffing of DHCP packets (the previous versions only used TCP packets). Network Miner also supports WiFi sniffing of IEEE 802.11 WLAN traffic.
Thanks for the heads up, will take the new version for a test drive an see if the OS detection has become more acurate.

Build awareness of the unique mental health and substance abuse issues facing older adults.
Promote education and leadership among stakeholders.
Make a positive impact on service delivery systems in New Jersey by promoting dialogue and collaboration to improve the well-being of older adults.
The New Jersey Partners, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is a broad-based coalition open to professionals, older adults, consumers, and caregivers.
We began in 1999 when seven New Jersey Professionals met with representatives of four other states as part of a national training effort to build state and local coalitions. The focus was on the needs of older adults with a mental health or substance abuse problem.
As we have grown over the years, we have incorporated and obtained 501(c)3 status to further strengthen our organization.
Throughout the year, we host meetings at various locations across the state. Each meeting focuses on a specific topic of interest related to older adults, mental health, or substance abuse. The meetings provide access to the latest information and resources available in New Jersey, and are a great opportunity to network with others who share similar concerns.

Katie Steelman and Abbie Boatwright invested brains and heart in their shop, OKO.
Despite growing up in downtown Rome, an epicenter of international fashion, the Steelman sisters never thought they’d land in the industry.
Though they snuck out after every Sunday church service to the neighboring Louis Vuitton store, scoping out the latest fashions to hit the racks was nothing more than a hobby.
Still, living “La Dolce Vita” among the influences of Valentino and Versace are what solidified the siblings’ timeless, chic style.
Fast forward to early adulthood after the Steelman family had relocated to the states.
Katie just graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and, in Florida, older sister Abbie married, became Abbie Boatwright and had two babies.
Though the sisters had always discussed starting a business together, the time was ripe to create a plan and set it in motion.
One of those led to the Dominican Republic, where their father’s nonprofit, Global Effect, issues microloans to impoverished communities in hopes of boosting job creation. When he told his daughters about a group of Dominican women skilled in sewing and seeking employment, clothing just seemed like a natural fit.
OKO opened its doors in the spring of 2016, occupying a petite nook of The Hub 30A with both franchised designers and their own private label.
A seven-week whirlwind later, OKO Kids debuted right next door — which was never part of the immediate plan.
“We dreamed that one day we would make a kid’s line, and even mentioned to our landlord that it was something we wanted to do down the road … but I’m talking way, WAY down the road!” Steelman laughs.
“To his face, we were like … psh, yeah … of course!” Steelman said. “Internally, we’re freaking out, but we couldn’t pass it up.
The girls’ mom always scolds them for “flying by the seat of their pants,” but they insist they work best under pressure.
Within the first few years of opening, an all-new OKO men’s line was flaunted at an American Music Awards gifting suite in Los Angeles.
A third store will soon debut in Rosemary Beach, and the pair launched their very first swimwear line this summer. Clearly, they’re right.
Anything you see with an OKO label is designed by Katie and Abbie, then hand cut and sewn in the Dominican Republic.
They know beach bums here don’t like to get too dressed up unless they must, so they like to keep it casual, utilizing high-quality materials in neutral tones.
Boatwright brings over a few of their favorite “Luxury Basics,” including their classic, Victoria V-neck top in black.
Breezy and easy, it would look great with a half-tuck into your favorite jeans, or let loose with a chunky necklace to dress it up.
The bamboo Bella T-shirt Dress is another versatile piece, leisurely enough to throw over your swimsuit with a panama hat, or capable of embellishment with a belt and heels for a night out.
Their hope is that if you have 10-15 OKO pieces in your closet, you’ll be able to mix and match them for any occasion.
Boatwright says her goal is to look at photos of herself 20 years from now and not be embarrassed about what she’s wearing.
Though the two finish each other’s sentences and possess a striking, similar beauty, their everyday styles differ.
Abbie tends to be a bit more adventurous, with pops of vogue statement pieces, while Katie exudes effortless, chic modernity.
But both are enamored with OKO and improving the lives of others, making as many as four trips to the Dominican Republic a year to work alongside their employees.
“There’s the sweetest woman named Rosie, and we like to call her our manager because she oversees the workshop when we’re not there,” Steelman smiles.
In the next few years, the sisters hope to employ 100 impoverished women with their label.
The letters in their brand name, OKO, represent overcoming hardship, kindness in action and creating opportunity. It’s not just a label for the sisters. It’s a commitment. We should all try it on for size.

What is the Clinical Education Model at Michener?
All full and part time diploma programs have a clinical component when students gain hands-on experience in the hospital or clinic environment, either through direct patient care or in a laboratory setting.
Why is the Clinical Education Model important for health care students?
In order for Michener to offer health care programs, it must have access to the facilities and professional staff of healthcare institutions and organizations, so that it may offer clinical experience to students enrolled in its programs. Partner sites have resources necessary for the support of clinical teaching which they make available to Michener for such purposes.
Most programs have a dedicated period of time, usually one or two full semesters, when students are required to be placed in a clinical setting to achieve entry-to-practice clinical competence and professional behaviours as set out by their chosen professions.
The clinical education model is based on an affiliation agreement that defines the responsibilities of both Michener and its partner sites with respect to clinical education and is signed at the corporate levels of the partner sites and Michener.
For each program, the clinical site appoints a clinical coordinator to supervise and evaluate student progression throughout the clinical phase. Michener encourages clinical partners to assign students to other staff members within the department so that they may benefit from working with and learning from a number of other people.
How does Michener support partners using the Clinical Education Model?
Michener provides ongoing support for students and clinical partners through the role of the programs’ Clinical Liaison Officers who are direct links to clinical sites at the department level. They are there to ensure the progression of clinical students and to aid clinical coordinators with any challenges that may arise throughout the placement period.
Ongoing professional development support for clinical staff who work as educators with Michener students is provided through the Clinical Educators’ Certificate series of workshops, the annual Clinical Educators’ PD Day and reduced tuition fees on Continuing Education offerings.

Is your hair tie tough on your hair?From the makers of the anti aging, anti sleep crease, anti bed headslipsilk™ pillowcase comes the... SLIPSILK SCRUNCHIE!
Made with slipsilk™, to be gentle on your delicate hair.
the slipsilk™ differenceTraditional hair ties can tug on delicate hair which can lead to damage and breakage. Slip™ scrunchies are made with slipsilk™, the same silk used in the award winning slip™ pure silk pillowcase.
Its wide surface area and high-grade silk means our slipsilk™, srunchie is designed to reduce those annoying ridges caused by regular hair elastics.
At first I was a little put off by the cost of 3 scrunchies. But seeing that I use them daily and have other slip silk items that I absolutely love.. I figured why not. I'm so glad I did! They are so gorgeous! I always get compliments on them and they are so soft and gentle on my hair, When I pull it out, all my hair doesnt come out with them! Now if only I can talk my hubby into letting me order about 5 more pkgs of these!

I’m so sorry. Puns are my mortal enemies but I couldn’t resist this one. So … this is not only my yearly post on goals but also where I set out my writing goal posts for the New Year. Setting yearly goals is particularly important for writers. Writing is an activity that relies solely on self motivation and perseverance. Goals give us something clear and tangible to work towards – they keep us focussed through the ups and downs.
But unrealistic goals do exactly the opposite. It’s all about setting the RIGHT goals. As writers, so many things are out of our control, so it’s vital to make our goals only those things we can control. Our goals should be the things that are within our power to achieve by the end of the year. No pie in the sky stuff – no goals for nabbing a superstar agent, or signing a six figure book contract, or for your debut to hit the New York Times best seller list. Those things are mainly within someone else’s control, or the universe’s (or whatever you believe).
I have goals in all of these areas. I think I probably always will. How about you?

The Bible never commands or exhorts Christians to pray for persecution. But the Bible very definitely tells the growing Christian to expect persecution. 1 Peter 4:12 emphatically states that "we are not to be surprised" when persecution comes, or think that "some strange thing" is happening to us when we are persecuted as Christians. (See also Acts 14:22; Philippians 1:29; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 John 3:13.) Persecution is "part of the package" of our salvation! By no means is such a statement meant to imply that the salvation of our souls is earned or merited through suffering a certain amount of persecution. No, the Bible clearly teaches that salvation is a personal gift from God and persecution is not part of the price. The price of our salvation was fully paid by God Himself when our Lord Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins. But while persecution is not part of the purchasing price of our salvation, it certainly is part of the "path of progress" of our salvation. We do not "get saved" by suffering persecution, but when we are saved we will suffer persecution.
Such a concept as "saved to suffer" may rattle us a little at first. It may even cause us to experience a few wrong thoughts of our God. But such negative vibrations are cancelled out when we see from Scripture that God has a number of purposes for permitting His children to be persecuted.
In the book of 1 Peter, God tells us a lot about persecution. In fact, this book of the Bible could be called a handbook on suffering persecution. It was written just before the outbreak of the Roman persecutions under Nero in 64 A.D. In this connection, 1 Peter 4:12 could be looked on as a prophecy of the coming Roman persecutions of the Christian Church. But of course, 1 Peter 4:12 is applicable to Christians of all time. Christians of the 20th century should expect to be persecuted for their faith as were the Christians of the 1st century.
It should be stressed at this point that wherever the book of 1 Peter talks about suffering, it is not "any old kind of suffering" that is in view. Christians suffer heart attacks and car accidents and depleted bank accounts and missed appointments and bad colds, but these are not the kinds of suffering that Peter has in mind. These are problems, to be sure, and in the Christian's life God can use all these things for our ultimate benefit. (See Romans 8:28-29.) However, the sufferings of 1 Peter are persecutions that come upon the Christian precisely because he is a Christian--slander, reproach, mockery, scorn, put-downs, cut-downs, verbal flak, verbal abuse, social ostracism, physical torture, and even some martyrdom. Have you ever experienced any non-physical persecution and hate on your campus or on your job because you're a Christian? Maybe you've suffered a lower grade in a course or even lost a job or promotion because of your Christian testimony. This is all part of normal Christian living and should be expected. In some countries even physical persecution is a way of life for Christians.
Several of God's reasons for permitting His children to suffer persecution are given in the verses immediately following 1 Peter 4:12. First of all there is the reward of blessing. Verse 13 speaks about the blessing of future glory and verse 14 refers to the blessing of present glory. If we are willing to share in the sufferings of Christ now, we will share in His glory when He returns. Romans 8:17 says that "we suffer with Him in order that we may be glorified with Him." The Lord Jesus said in reference to persecution for His sake, "Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great" (Matthew 5:10-12). The Bible does not tell us all the specifics of what's involved in our sharing of Christ's glory. However, we do know that when the effects of sin are completely erased from this universe, the untainted glory of God will be manifested through-out His creation forever. This glory will be focussed and centered in the Person of Christ and His redeeming work. (See Philippians 2:5-11.) We have the opportunity now of investing in that future glory. Just think: today we are being given the privilege of participating in, and contributing to, the future honor and praise and splendor of our Savior--if we are willing to suffer a little persecution. Such a high and holy calling should help us to endure the "Holy Joe" and "religious nut" scorn that we often experience, or should experience!
It should be emphasized that the sharing in the sufferings of Christ mentioned in verse 13 in no way has to do with Christ's sufferings on the cross. Those sufferings were for our sins and were completed when Christ proclaimed triumphantly from the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30). The sufferings of Christ in which we share now are sufferings for the sake of Christ--namely, persecution. They are called the sufferings of Christ because the body of Christ on earth (which is the Church) suffers whenever Christians are persecuted for the name of Christ. (See Colossians 1:24.) Remember that the resurrected Christ questioned Saul on the Damascus road, "Why do you persecute Me?" as Saul was on his way to persecute Christians. But the Church persecuted now will be the Church glorified when Christ's body on earth is united with her Head in heaven.
There is also a present glory associated with being persecuted for Christ. Verse 14 informs us that the Holy Spirit of glory rests upon us when we are reviled for the name of Christ. All believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them (Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:13), but persecuted believers have the Holy Spirit resting on them. The persecuted Christian comes to know more of the reality of the presence of God in his life. The relationship becomes deeper and more intimate--much more than is possible if the believer is unwilling to suffer. The relationship that develops between two soldiers going through the thick of battle together is much closer than a "peacetime" friendship. Remember, it's only now on earth that we have the privilege of enlarging our relationship with our Lord in this way. There is no persecution in heaven!
After stressing (vs15-16) that suffering for the sake of Christ has nothing whatsoever to do with suffering for our own wrong-doing, Peter moves on to mention another reason why God allows persecution. In verses 17-19 the emphasis is on the renewal of commitment that results from the suffering of persecution. In verse 17 the emphasis is on collective commitment, while in verse 19 the emphasis is on individual commitment. "Judgment of the household of God" (v17) is not discipline in the punitive sense, but rather discipline in the preventative sense. The persecution of the Church, God's household, is a safeguard against worldliness and waywardness. Persecution has a purifying effect on the Church. Tertullian, a second century Christian, said that "the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church." Throughout her history, the Church has not only survived during times of persecution, but she has been purified. If the Church in America today were to undergo extreme physical persecution, we would see quite a few nominal Christians and other hangers-on "leave the ship". Persecution is the "test by fire" that proves our faith (1 Peter 1:7).
Widespread and prolonged persecution will produce renewal of commitment of the Church as a whole, and any persecution endured by the individual Christian will generally result in greater personal commitment to the Lord. There will not only be a "ceasing from sin" and a more holy life (1 Peter 4:1-4), but there will be more "entrusting of the soul to the Creator while doing what is right" (v19). What words could better describe what Christian renewal is all about? Social ostracism and slander and scorn from fellow-students and fellow-employees will not turn off the growing Christian; it will drive the believer closer to the Lord Jesus.
Although persecution of the believer is to be expected and is "according to the will of God" (v19), let us remember that this is a family matter. We are the "beloved" (v12) children of a "faithful Creator" (v19) Who always has our best interests in view. Verses 17 and 18 remind us of the vast difference between the persecution of the believer in this life and the punishment in the next life of the godless unbeliever who refused to obey the gospel of God. The Christian who understands God's reasons for allowing persecution not only expects to be persecuted but is willing to suffer persecution.
