The FCC enacted mandatory net-neutrality regulations in 2010, but the rules cover Internet service providers, not content producers like CBS.
Sen. Ed MarkeyEd MarkeyOvernight Healthcare: GOP plan marks new phase in ObamaCare fight Overnight Healthcare: Dems trying to force Zika vote | White House tries to stall opioids bill for $$ | Free Lyft rides from ObamaCare Overnight Healthcare: New momentum to lift ban on gay men donating blood MORE (D-Mass.) made similar complaints about CBS to the FCC on Monday, and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) said she plans to review the laws governing video distribution.
Time Warner Cable and CBS were unable to reach an agreement for how much the cable company should pay to carry the network. As a result, millions of Time Warner customers in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and other markets lost access to CBS beginning on Friday night.
The dispute also led CBS to block access to its online videos for Time Warner Cable subscribers. The Internet blackout affects subscribers throughout the country, even if they do not subscribe to Time Warner for TV service.
"As soon as CBS is restored on Time Warner Cable systems in affected markets, that content will be accessible again," CBS said in a statement.
Neil Grace, an FCC spokesman, said the commission is "disappointed" that the companies were unable to reach an agreement.
"Our primary concern remains with consumers and viewers in the affected markets. We urge all parties involved to resolve this situation as soon as possible," Grace said.

Robotic smartphone dock unleashed by Romotive
Romotive has released a smartphone docking station, but rather than streaming your music or charging up battery levels like other run-of-the-mill docks, this bad boy turns your smartphone into a robot.
Compatible with the iPhone 4S, iPod Touch, Motorola Droid and Samsung Galaxy handsets, plug your phone into the Romo, download an app and you've got your very own R2D2, Wall-E or Johnny-Five.
Robot fans can either set the robotic dock with preset motion paths or control it manually by downloading another app to an additional smartphone or tablet device.
Creating a preset path could, for example, see the robotic dock reversing and changing direction each time it hits a wall or unmoveable object. Utilise your smarpthone's camera and you've even got yourself a mobile spy.
The Romo robotic dock is available in blue and green and customers can buy one now for $149 from Romotive's product page, http://romotive.com/.
Thinking about buying Romotive's robotic docking station? Tell us why in the comments below...

Few options for Glendale Couple losing state Medicaid Insurance
July 28, 2011
For a Glendale couple, losing their state Medicaid insurance Monday is a matter of life or death. They are among 57-hundred Arizonans with catastrophic or chronic medical conditions that the state helped cover. But that program was eliminated by state budget cuts. The couple is eligible for a federal insurance program six months from now. But as KJZZ's Paul Atkinson reports, they may not be able to wait that long.

I don't understand the mentality of people who disparage the folks who like to use a centering tool like the giffin grip. I understand there is a line somewhere that once crossed, puts into question the notion of "handmade", but the GG and tools like it are nowhere near that line. Why not say we shouldn't use electric wheels? It's not that different a notion.
I hope there are no teachers out there that start their students on GG's. I don't even bring one into class, but then I teach only beginners. For more advanced students who have learned the basic centering techniques, I don't see a problem.

Ensembles, Mesolytics Share First Place in Business Plan Competition
Two start-up companies -- one that helps busy families prepare nutritious, home-cooked meals and a biomedical venture that is developing a handheld diagnostic tool for health care professionals -- each have won $10,000 in a business plan competition at the University of California, Davis.
Mesolytics hopes to give health care professionals a portable tool to quickly diagnose medical ailments using a swab of patients' saliva or drop of blood. The platform is based on nanowire technology proven to detect a single virus with laboratory sensitivity.

The proposed Civil engineering project on "Net zero residential building" is located at Urapakkam. The NZERB has G+1 floor. The aggregate area surface covered by the Net zero energy residential building is 99 square meters. coCnfiguration should be accomplished for the proposed NZERB using Indian standard codes. There are three main phases in a construction project which are planning, designing and estimation. The first stage in a project is planning, in which preparation of layout of plot has to be done. To conclude the project a detailed estimate of the residential building has also been prepared. You can also Subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.
With the increasing development in the country day by day need of "net zero energy residential building" has also increased. Adopting such building formation can save energy consumption locally and as well as on global scale and we also get huge amount of saving on our electricity bill. The proper design and alignment of the building can make the building cheaper than that of the conventional type of buildings. Usage of hollow bricks and avoidance of columns and beams will result in lowering of temperature inside the building.
Recommended Project: Planning and Design of Net Zero Energy Residential Building
Objective of this project
1. Design a building with Net zero energy concept.
2. To eliminate the necessity of active energy loads on the building.
3. Comparing the net zero energy building with conventional building.
Designing concept of Net zero energy building depends upon many factors. Net-zero energy buildings start with energy-conscious design. A zero-energy residential building is a building with zero net energy consumption. A net-zero energy (NZE) building is one that relies on renewable sources to produce as much energy as it uses, usually as measured over the course of a year.
To eliminate the necessity of active energy loads on the building solar panels are used. Solar panels is one of the technologies used to achieve net-zero status. To eliminate the necessity of active energy loads solar techniques are used which include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness the energy.
The ground floor of the building consist of one hall, two bedrooms, one dinning, one kitchen. The allocations of the rooms in the plan has been done with due consideration of sun diagram as per the requirement of zero energy building. The plan has been prepared using Auto CAD software.
The future scope of such residential building can be extended to designing the "Net Zero Energy Residential Building" which produces its own electricity, thus we can save a huge amount in electricity bill. Use this Civil project report for your reference and study only.

This projects aim to generate electricity with the help of the shockers used in the vehicle. A regenerative shock absorber is a type of shock absorber that converts parasitic intermittent linear motion and vibration into useful energy, such as electricity. Traditional shock absorbers simply dissipate this energy as heat. When used in an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle the electricity generated by the shock absorber can be diverted to its power train to increase battery life. You can also Subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.
In non-electric vehicles the electricity can be used to power accessories such as air conditioning. Several different systems have been developed recently, though they are still in stages of development and not installed on production vehicles.
The framework is controlled by an active mechanical and electronic system that upgrades the damping, providing a smoother ride than traditional shocks while generating electricity to recharge the batteries or operate electrical equipment.
The present invention is coordinated to a double utilize electro-mechanical energy transducer for a vehicle and a control system for selecting between two modes of operation: a current generating mode and a shock absorber assistant mode. In particular, the inventive system uses an electromagnetic transducer that can be selectively used to convert otherwise wasted mechanical movements in the form of vertical vibrations in a moving vehicle into electrical current for charging a battery. On the other hand, the transducer can be specifically utilized as an assistant for the shock absorbers to adjust the riding characteristics of the vehicle.
A shock absorber in common parlance (or damper in technical use) is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or dampen a sudden shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. It is analogous to a resistor in an electric RLC circuit.
This report contains variety of topics for study and fabrication of "regenerative shock absorber". This report includes background of invention, information about Shock Absorbers, experimental setup, design and fabrication conclusion. Use it for your reference and study work only.

In the modern lifestyle braking of cars is itself a tedious and important process. Places like Metro station, Supermarket, Local market and sometimes on streets do not have enough space for free ride so we need brake at that time. So we require a system which can make braking easy, less time taking and also using less area to stop the car. The system should also be less expensive as people will not like to spend much extra money for such accessories. Thus this project propose "Automatic Hand Brake System" which is very useful in above scenarios. You can also Subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.
"Automatic Hand Brake System" is an industrial project which meets the many problems efficiently. A motor with breaking system is used for the operation of automatic brake mechanism. By taking an inventory of all the essential mechanical components and doing a basic mechanical component evaluation, you can get a good idea how much the brake work efficiently.
What is "Automatic Handbrake System"?
As we know that hand braking is not occur automatically. But by implementing two motors on brake with 200rpm each and one motor of 500 rpm for running front wheel, and brake will apply as the ignition off. That is why this system is named "Automatic Handbrake System".
Recommended Project: Project on Electromagnetic Brakes
It is often used in parking lots, shopping centers and sometimes along street curbs. With a little practice, braking at minimum distance is possible so easily .
Key Elements of this project are Motor (200Rpm), Transformer (12 Kv), Transformer (12 Kv), Motor (200Rpm), Shaft, Capacitor, Wheels, Diode, Springs.
Implementation method of Automatic Hand Brake System

Short term load forecasting (STLF) has become very important in the de-regulated environment. This point is highlighted by the fact that every year hundreds of papers are published on this topic which discuss or propose new methods and insights for STLF. You can also Subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.
Short term load forecasting has become very important in modern times due to the deregulation of the power sector. Private players have come in the fields of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
These organizations or companies are not charitable organizations and strive for maximizing their profits. One challenge before these companies is to ensure that a customer, who now has power connections from more than one provider, draws power from them only. Also to even out the load curves these organizations need to find out the valleys and the peaks in the demand and take subsequent load management steps to fill the valleys and reduce the peaks.
Recommended Project: Generation of Electricity from Wind Power
The importance of good Short Term Load Forecast (SLTF) can never be emphasized more in modern times and this is one of the pivotal reasons for existence of a large number of methods for STLF.
In this project, author has made a comparative study of these methods in this B.Tech dissertation and hence chose the following methods-
1. Feedforward Neural Networks
2. Radial Basis Function Networks
3. Discounted Multiple Regression
4. Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS)
Below are some of the conclusion of this project for your reference.
i) Forecasts rely heavily on the data and thus a detailed analysis of the data must be done prior to selection of the method for STLF. We should try to find out whether some correlation exists between the load profiles of different days of the week. If the correlation is high then day indices, if included, will not have much effect on the results. However, including them may actually give poor forecasts as the complexity of model will increase.
ii) Feed forward neural networks must be used with better learning algorithms because gradient descent method is very slow and gets stuck in local minima. Hence any second order learning algorithm should be used or validation procedures must be incorporated during the training time.
iii) Radial basis function networks are much better than feed-forward neural networks and gave much better results. They gave better testing results due to inherent generalization. However, caution must be observed in choosing the number of clusters since too many clusters make generalization poor and also a possibility of empty cluster formation exists.
There are few more conclusion which can be found in this project report on "comparison of various methods used in short term load forecasting". There are few limitations also which is discussed in this project. Use it for your study purpose and all thanks to author of this project.

Sometimes, vehicles large in size (i.e. trucks, loading vehicles) have problems in driving the vehicle. There are some points which are not visible from driver's seat, these are called blind points. Some time, objects or vehicles very near to truck got accident. This problem is called blind spot. Some time due to fog, vehicles are not visible up to very less distance, and thus an accident can occur. While driving at night there can be a short nap to driver due to which accident can occur.
There are many other reasons of accident while driving, so to prevent the vehicle from accident, proximity detector is used in this project that detect an object through its range and inform the driver.
You can have idea about its working by seeing above block diagram. The block diagram shows the main contents used in project. The project includes 9 volt power supply system that provides power supply to the project. At the input of

This project report is precise preparation of the requirement which are necessary to set of a manufacturing unit of multilayer blown film. However, more stresses is laid on the practical approach with sufficient theoretical background. This is done to facilitate effective handling of unit. The preparation of this project report is done in most concise, compact and wild manner.
Recommended Project: Design & Analysis of AC System for Heavy Vehicles using Exhaust Heat
Forcing the molten plastic upward through a thin annular opening extrudes most film. A tube is thus made is expanded further by internal air pressure (an internal Mandrel is some time used). The tube of film is cooled by blown air and drawn through a pair of rolls to a winding section for thick film auxiliary cooling device may be used. Some films are also made by extruding through a slot opening down ward over chilled role (casting roll).
PE is the most popular extruded film pp. film, PP, is both oriented and un-oriented is in used. Films are also extruded from polystyrene, nylon and PVC with rapid growing in importance.
One of the most important special extrusion processes is the manufacture of multi-layer lay flat tabular film cross head die in use. It consist of frame work which supports a pair of nip rolls vertically above the die and which also has uncounted on it a take of roll on which the flighted tube is around.
The diameter of the blown film is usually between one and three times. The diameter of the die orifice, so that one die can often then used to produced a wide range of film width as well as blowing the tubler film and thus reducing its wall thickness by lateral stretching the rate of take off by the nip roll is adjusted to give a longitudinal drawn down and in this way the degree of orientation and thus the relative tensile strength the film parallel to and perpendicular to its length is adjusted.

New York-based Hagin Investment Management has launched its first mutual fund, a hedge fund-like vehicle called the Keystone Market Neutral Mutual Fund.
Hagin describes the fund as an "easy-to-use" institutional quality product launched in response to feedback from financial intermediaries across the U.S.:
"Fee-based advisors have limited options in the alternative space if they are not willing to work with separately managed account structures or limited partnerships," said Hagin CEO and co-founder Patrick Morris in a statement. "Additionally, the lack of transparency in both positions and in exposure to the market limits the ability of the advisor to construct optimized portfolios based on client goals."
The new mutual fund has a low fee, and is designed to deliver low volatility and a low correlation to the market. It will be administered by Chicago-based Cortland Fund Services with back-office support provided by Cortland's Cottonwood Trust.
Hagin was established as a family office in 2006 by Patrick Morris and his father Robert. It is named for Dr. Robert Hagin, a famous Wall Street "quant."

Easy Return
"The lens that I ordered arrived on time. They were well picked and included the adhesive label for the FedEx return shipment."
Note to self.....: Self, use them again.
"What else can be said????"
Always come through!!
"Lensrentals makes it easy to do business with them, has the latest camera equipment and the pricing is very fair. They streamline the renting process and have the best customer service. Will continue to do business with them!!"
First time user
"The people with Lens Rental are great. When I first placed my order, I ordered a Sigma Nikon mount lens. A couple of weeks later I added a Sony e-mount lens to the same order. That evening I received a phone call to verify that I wanted two different mounts. Their attention to detail was appreciated and this same attention was given from the time of order until the package was returned. They worked with me from start to finish in a professional manner.
The products I received were fantastic, Sigma 150-600 and Sony 24-240. They were well packaged with return slip included. Both lenses were delivered clean and ready to go. They worked to my expectations and I was pleased with the quality of their work.
I used Lens Rental to try out some different products before making a purchase. Their prices were good and for my experience, it was worth the money.
Worth it...
"The camera that I wanted was not available. So, I spoke to one of the representatives, who was very helpful and recommended another. I wanted the the canon g7x powershot instead got the canon powershot g3. It did just what it was supposed to and more. The camera got here on time and felt as if it was fresh out the box. The process was a breeze with lensrental. Totally recommend it to anyone looking for any material available to rent."
Amazing prices at a blazing speed
"I needed a lot of gear last minute and they were able to get it all to me while still promising that affordable price. "
always easy and fun
"I've used Lensrentals.com 3 or 4 times now. Always a breeze and never any issues. "
All I can say is EXCELLENT
"All I can say about this is EXCELLENT!! I tried going through another site and I had to call them two days before I needed this lens and was told they didn't know if I would get it on time even though I paid for it weeks before. I called LensRentals and the customer service agent was VERY HELPFUL and within an hour of renting the lens I received an email stating it was accepted and it was sent out that afternoon. LensRental saved me as I was shooting a wedding and really needed the lens. THANK YOU LensRental, I will definitely be using your service in the future. "
LensRentals Saved me a Bundle!
"I had one event where I needed some extra lens power... Where it would be great to own the lens outright, I don't need that kind of lens very often. So I rented it. LensRentals sent it when I needed it, made it easy to return - and saved me a bundle on a lens I wouldn't use very often. "
Ireland night delight
"I rented the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX-II for Nikon for a trip to Ireland. I wanted to capture the landscapes both I the daylight and after dark. The lens did not disappoint. I would rent this lens again - great for landscapes and night shots.
My experience with Lensrentals was excellent. Ordering was a breeze, lens arrived on time in perfect working order, returning was easy."
Weekend event a success
"Decided to try out a smaller/mirrorless camera to use as a backup camera to my Nikon D750 and as a possible travel camera. Renting is the only way to find out if you like something. Although the Sony a6000 and 16-70mm lens was light and took some really great shots at a car show I am still on the fence. Certain aspects that are extremely important to me as a manual shooter were not easy to get at even after somewhat customizing them. This is why I rent. Now it may end up that the price is too good to pass up, but I need to consider the cons that really bother me.
LensRental is the only rental company (I look to 3 different companies) that has a really good variety of products and (big "and") will sell product if you like it. Their prices for rental and purchase seem to be quite reasonable for used items."
Sure makes me look good
"I was super happy with the price of my rental-- now that i'm looking at my footage I'm even happier that my footage looks this much better than it would have just by renting a gimbal. Love it, I'm super happy with the footage and I think my client will be too."
The Mega Festive Review of Facts
"We placed a huge order and boy did LensRentals.com. Every single piece arrived in perfect working order! I lost one of my return labels and one phone call later they sent me a new one. Excellent customer service and great rental agency!"
Excellent Customer Service and Product
"Lens Rentals goes above and beyond to keep their customers happy. They always have amazing gear that is top quality and better than described. Plus they include bags that make it convenient to carry all your extra gear. I've never had an issue but when contacting their customer service they are quick to respond and help you in anyway possible. They are the only company I rent from!"
On time delivery, exactly what was promised, no hassle return.
"This was my first rental from LenRentals and I was impressed. The reservation process was simple and the equipment arrived exactly when they promised. The gear was in top condition and performed flawlessly. The return process was great and the confirmations about arrival and acceptance of the return were nice touches.
I'll be a return customer for certain."

From the author of Unsaid comes a thrilling story of struggle, redemption, and our devotion to the animals in our lives
By Neil Abramson
"If you love dogs and well-written, suspenseful fiction that is uplifting and will inspire you to open an animal sanctuary, read this lovely novel."
—Jeffrey Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love,
The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving and Dogs Make Us Human
Praise for UNSAID, Neil Abramson's debut novel:
"Rarely has a novel captured so movingly the deep bonds between people and the animals
that share their lives."
—Parade magazine
"UNSAID is an extraordinary story of animals, afterlife, and the power of love... It will make you remember, rethink, and rejoice in every meaningful relationship you've ever had."
—Garth Stein, author of the bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain
What would you do if they came for your dog? In JUST LIFE (May 10, 2016; Center Street/Hachette Book Group; $26.00), Neil Abramson, whose debut novel Unsaid won rave reviews from critics, booksellers, and readers alike, presents a riveting, thought-provoking roller coaster ride of a novel that asks that very question.
Veterinarian Samantha Lewis and her team are dedicated to providing a sanctuary for unwanted, abused, and abandoned dogs in New York City. But every day it gets harder operate her no-kill shelter. Sam is already at her breaking point when she learns of an unidentified, dangerous virus spreading through their neighborhood. The medical community can only determine that animals are the carriers. Amid growing panic and a demand for immediate answers, suspicion abruptly falls on dogs as the source. Soon the governor is calling in the National Guard to enforce a quarantine--no dog may leave the area.
Samantha knows from her own painful history that, despite the lack of real evidence against the dogs, a quarantine may only be the beginning. As questions about the source of the virus mount and clash with the pressure for a politically expedient resolution, Sam is forced to make life-altering choices. She finds allies in a motley crew of New Yorkers--a local priest, a troubled teen, a smart-mouthed former psychologist, and a cop desperate to do the right thing--all looking for sanctuary from their own personal demons. But the person Sam needs the most to unravel the mystery of the virus and save the dogs is the last one she'd ever want to call on--because contacting him will mean confronting the traumatic past she has fought so hard to escape.
Neil Abramson's novel is engrossing and nuanced, with finely drawn characters and an intense pace that rolls to an unforgettable conclusion. JUST LIFE's message of the balance between fear and compassion, memory and forgiveness, and despair and hope will stay with readers long after they've finished reading, and will spark serious discussions and debate.

Zak George author of "Dog Training Revolution" will join Jon and Talkin' Pets 6/18/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away his new book
Celebrity dog trainer Zak George releases groundbreaking guide:
Zak George's Dog Training Revolution
New comprehensive book teaches everything people need to know to raise and train their dogs
June 7, 2016 — Celebrity dog trainer Zak George announces the release of his first book, Zak George's Dog Training Revolution: The Complete Guide to Raising the Perfect Pet with Love. His successful YouTube channel, Zak George's Dog Training Revolution, is the number one destination for dog training video content in the world. He has also starred on Animal Planet's SuperFetch and BBC's Who Let the Dogs Out.
With this book, George has distilled the information from his hundreds of videos and experience working with thousands of dogs into one comprehensive guide. Written with award-winning journalist Dina Roth Port, Dog Training Revolution is an invaluable resource for people with new dogs or those who want to see what's possible when they apply George's approach to the dog they've had for years. It covers everything from choosing the right dog, socialization, house training and basic training, as well as how to handle common behavioral issues such as leash pulling, jumping up, unwanted barking, and more.
"I wanted to write a book that showed, in very simple terms, how the average person can achieve exceptional results with their dog in a way that is supported by the latest science and 21st century ethics," says George. However, Dog Training Revolution is much more than a training resource—it also includes information on health care essentials such as choosing a vet and selecting the right food as well as cool tricks and fun activities to enjoy with your dog. One thing that really makes this book special is the video integration: Throughout the book, play button icons indicate which subjects have corresponding videos on George's YouTube channel, making for a truly thorough, interactive experience.
What also sets Dog Training Revolution apart is that George's fresh, positive approach allows you to tailor training to your dog's unique traits and energy level—leading to quicker results and a much happier pet. He doesn't base his teaching on breed stereotypes, myths or archaic thinking about dog behavior but rather on scientific research and ethical advancements, all with the goal of raising the standards in the dog training industry.

When Man Meets DOG
...it leads to a unique friendship; one that can change men's lives
Have you ever wondered why dogs are considered, 'man's best friend?' Psychologist Dr. Christopher Blazina explains the importance of the unique bond between men and dogs. There are widely-held beliefs that males naturally transition into a state of self-imposed seclusion and emotional detachment in adulthood. Even relying on another person violates the rules of being a man.When Man Meets Dogexplores how the bond with animal companions bypasses many of these barriers, helping males develop into happier, healthier men. What a difference a dog can make!
It's also important to discuss the other side of attachment: loss. Again, the mixed messages men receive lead to difficulties with managing grief.When Man Meets Dogis the first book to discuss men's 'continuing bonds' with a lost animal companion. A continuing bond is a new way of reconnecting and preserving the memory of this unique connection.
When Man Meets Dogis a memoir with a purpose. Chris shares his very personal story of how two shelter dogs not only changed the direction of his life, but also how he defines what it means to be a man.

Author of Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are, Frans De Waal, will join Jon and Talkin' Pets 5/7/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away his book
by Frans de Waal
"A remarkable book by a remarkable scientist. Drawing on a growing body of research including his own, de Waal shows that animals, from elephants and chimpanzees to the lowly invertebrates, are not only smarter than we thought but also engaged in forms of thought we have only begun to understand."
—Edward O. Wilson,
University Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
"ARE WE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW SMART ANIMALS ARE? will completely change your perception of the abilities of animals. This book takes the reader on the fascinating journey of discovery into the world of animal problem-solving."
—Temple Grandin,
author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human
"So, are we 'smart enough to know how smart animals are?' The question will occur to you many times as you read Frans de Waal's remarkable distillations of science in this astonishingly broad-spectrum book. I guarantee one thing: readers come away a lot smarter. As this book shows, we are here on Planet Earth with plenty of intelligent company."
—Carl Safina,
author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel
A fascinating history of the study of animal behavior and cognition from a world-renowned expert, ARE WE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW SMART ANIMALS ARE? [W. W. Norton & Company; April 25, 2016; $27.95 hardcover] reflects author Frans de Waal's deep love for animals as well as his dedication to forwarding his field of study. With anecdotes and humor, de Waal, director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, relates the story of his own career and surveys an enormous variety of animal intelligence, which he places on a spectrum that also includes human intelligence—putting to rest any lingering doubts that the era of behaviorism is over.
From ravens to wasps, elephants to whales, spiders to octopuses, de Waal explores the yin-yang relationship between studying captive animals and observing them in the wild, outlining the advantages and limitations to both. He reviews key theories and methodologies, giving generous and widespread credit to the scientists who came before him while also discussing the problematic attitudes that he and his contemporaries are still unraveling. Many of the controversies in the field center around one question: How unique is human consciousness in the animal kingdom? Winding through topics like language, culture, politics, and problem solving, de Waal asks us to measure animal cognition not against human cognition but alongside it.
Imagine a world that didn't rely on an individual's ability to recognize other individuals. Imagine that a trunk means for elephant cognition what a grasping hand means for ours. De Waal builds up to the idea that for scientists to truly chart animal cognition, they must stop measuring animals' success at a presented task against human success at that same task and accept that animals are experts at what is required for survival in their own natural environments.
Full of compassion for humans and animals alike, ARE WE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW SMART ANIMALS ARE?depicts aspects of animal behavior few people witness, and leads the reader to contemplate not only the definition of humanity but why we seek—or fear finding—humanity in nature.
Frans de Waal has been named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People. The author of The Bonobo and the Atheist, among many other works, he is the C. H. Candler Professor in Emory University's Psychology Department and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. He lives in Atlanta.

Heel … Sit … Stay … Now LISTEN!
New Book Examines How Imitating Canine Communication Behaviors Can Yield Fantastic Relationships for Life and Career
Listen Like a Dog:
And Make Your Mark on the World
By Jeff Lazarus
"Listen Like a Dog offers a totally fresh perspective on attaining success in our personal
and professional relationship….Take the lead from your dog and reap the rewards.
--Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series;
creator of The Success Principles series
"Jeff Lazarus has given us a roadmap to living a happier and more productive life with
this invaluable book…. Your canine companion seriously has much to teach you about
how to become a better listener!"
--Dr. Marty Becker, New York Times bestselling author
In a world where everyone is barking but no one is listening, Listen Like a Dog reveals that the real antidote to our communication "faux paws" can be learned from observing our canine companions. Dogs don't interrupt us, finish our sentences, offer advice, try to top our stories or text us instead of talking to us. Dogs pay extremely close attention by studying facial expressions, observing body language, watching eye movements and listening to our voice patterns. Although they don't understand our verbal language, dogs listen with their entire being. Brimming with lighthearted humor, LISTEN LIKE A DOG: And Make Your Mark on the World by Jeff Lazarus (Publication: April 25, 2016; Health Communications, Inc.; Self-help & Psychology; ISBN:13-978075318986; Paperback; $15.95) teaches the reader how TRUE listening is the magic ingredient that forges real connections with others – whether it's a marriage/intimate relationship, with co-workers, friends or family.
Written by the bestselling author of Dogtology: Live Bark Believe, which celebrates the relationship between dogs and humans, Mr. Lazarus guides the reader in LISTEN LIKE A DOG to recognizing ideal canine behaviors that can lead to enormous advantages in a person's personal life and in business.
A recent study by a Cornell University sociologist revealed that we have fully one-third fewer real friends than we did before the social networking boom. Today, we have more shallow connections with others; our communications are expanding horizontally but shrinking vertically. We are trading quality for quantity and real for virtual. Is anyone really listening?
In Listen Like a Dog, the reader will learn that true listening can enhance every relationship in a person's life. People want good listeners in their inner circle, they want to do business with them, they trust them, and will share critical information with them. This means the person who masters this skill has enormous advantages, both in business and personal life. Each chapter in Listen Like a Dog focuses on human behavior and compares that with different aspects of canine behavior with light-hearted humor and laugh-out-loud observations. Readers will learn:
- Violating the Leash Laws: the 11 most egregious mistakes we make when we THINK we are communicating
- Sniff Around: the importance of casual communications
- The Power of the Paws (Pause): how to recognize the many benefits of silence
- Heel, Sit, and Stay: how changing your own behavior can win over others
- Happiness is a Warm Pup: the importance of being genuine and compassionate
- And so much more …

Kim Kavin, Author of "The Dog Merchants" will join Jon and Talkin' Pets on 4/23/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away her book
In what promises to become a Moneyball for dog lovers ― for both breed devotees and adoption advocates alike ― The Dog Merchants is the first book to explain the complex and often surprisingly similar business practices that extend from the American Kennel Club to local shelters, from Westminster champions to dog auctions.
This incredible feat of investigative journalism is the latest from Kim Kavin, author of Little Boy Blue, and in The Dog Merchants she reveals the complex network behind the $11-billion-a-year business of selling dogs. Without judging dog lovers of any stripe, Kavin makes it clear that money spent among these dog merchants has real-world effects on people and canines. She reveals how dog merchants create markets for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed light on an industry that most people don't even realize is an industry.
Kavin's goal is to advance the conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal can be improved by understanding the business practices behind selling dogs of all kinds. Instead of pitting rescue and purebred people against each other, The Dog Merchants shows how all dog lovers can come together, with one voice as consumers, on behalf of all our beloved companions.
"Essential reading for all dog lovers, this balanced work will become the standard on this topic."
—Library Journal, starred review
"A hard-hitting exploration of the idea of 'dogs as a product.' A scathing indictment of an industry run amok; belongs on every pet lover's bookshelf."—Kirkus Reviews
"A devastatingly clear-cut exposé. That Kavin manages to accomplish so much without tugging too hard on readers' emotions is only one of the surprises in this megaton bomb."—Booklist
"Those who are breeding and raising dogs responsibly will find validation in their endeavors―and consumers seeking to buy or adopt dogs will benefit from the information Kavin has gathered as they make their decisions." —Publishers Weekly
"Kavin looks at every aspect of the dog market. One chapter examines the AKC, and the good and the bad it has caused throughout the years. It was interesting to read how fanciers of Border Collies reacted to the decision by the AKC to start accepting the breed into the organization's rolls. It is not what you might expect. It's quite simple —don't buy a dog until you read this book!"—Feather and Quill
Author of "Into The Nest" Laura Erickson will join Jon and Talkin' Pets Saturday 4/9/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away her book
Birding Gets Up Close and Personal
From attention-grabbing mating displays to musical songs, vibrant color patterns and intricate nesting behaviors, it's easy to see why a recent USDA Forest Service National Survey on Recreation and the Environment found that 85 million Americans are fascinated by birds. They attend classes, enter competitions, join clubs, invest in expensive gear, post on social media, and, of course, spend hours behind a pair of binoculars.
Did You Know?
Crow kids help bring up and babysit the next year's nestlings.
Spider silk is an essential material in the construction of hummingbird nests.
Red-Winged Blackbirds can have eggs of several different fathers in one nest.
During courtship, a male Great Blue Heron will propose to his intended mate with series of sticks.
But for all this work, even experienced birders may never see the intimate lives of the species they observe. And popular birding literature focuses more on helping birders add to their life lists than on showing what makes each species unique: the sometimes endearing, sometimes peculiar, often astonishing details that make up their daily lives. Until now. With Into the Nest, birding experts Laura Erickson and Marie Read present beautiful, close-up photographs and text that capture each dramatic and spectacular stage of the family lives of birds, from courtship through mating, nest construction, egg-laying, parenting on the nest, nestling, feeding time, and, finally, the first triumphant flight of the fledglings.
With its careful documentation of life stages of common birds and its never-before-seen shots, Into the Nest offers a unique perspective on a popular American pastime. Now beginning birders and seasoned experts alike can experience the private lives of their favorite species — from the dramatic "sky dances" of courting Bald Eagles to the gentle berry exchanges between Cedar Waxwing parents, from Downy Woodpecker chicks developing inside their tree cavity to a Warbler feeding a Cowbird chick twice her size.
Laura Erickson is the author of seven bird books and has served as an editor of BirdScope magazine and a columnist and contributing editor for BirdWatching magazine, as well as a contributor to the All About Birds website. She recently won the American Birding Association's prestigious Roger Tory Peterson Lifetime Achievement Award. She lives in Duluth, Minnesota.
Marie Read is the author of three books, and her photographs and articles have been featured in magazines including BirdWatching, Birds & Blooms, Bird Watcher's Digest, and National Geographic. She lives in Freeville, New York.
