Don't worry, this list is solid, not airy-fairy magical thinking..! ~ ed.
All of us want to be happy, but sometimes we get caught up in negative emotions.
The Dalai Lama says, "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."
Happiness is an emotion that has to be trained on a daily basis. It's similar to building a muscle; we have to work on it.
Here are six things that can make us happier instantly.
1. Laugh
I always find myself trying to find some type of opportunity to laugh. Try to incorporate laughter into your day. Go online and watch a video that make's you laugh. Call up a friend or family member that you find hilarious. I have a close friend, I call up whenever I need to laugh and we start reciting lines from our favorite movies.
2. Smile
Try to find as many opportunities as you can to smile. I've never met someone I didn't like who smiled all the time. There's tons of scientific research on how beneficial it is to smile; a simple smile can immediately brighten your day.
3. Talk to someone who's happy
Emotions are contagious and they spread like wildfire. Scientists call this "Emotional contagion"— meaning that you literally catch the feeling of the person your interacting with.
4. Interact with people
The Sufi poet Rumi said, "Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight. Be a connoisseur, and taste with caution."
Go out and interact with as many people as you can. If you're an introvert, just try to take small strides interacting with people. Neuroscience has proven that the brain can re-wire itself. If we're introverted, we can teach ourselves to become more extroverted through daily training.
5. Talk to a person who's much older than you
I always find myself in a gas station or at some other event talking to people who are in their 70s or 80s. They always have a great to deal of wisdom to share and they are generally happy.
6. Do meditation
There's tons of scientific research that shows how effective meditation is for producing positive emotional states. Try to incorporate a daily practice into your life.

Buzz: Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas, Los Angeles, Completes Unprecedented Expansion
It's hard to imagine that the Sunset Marquis could actually be improved. The hotel of choice for the international jet-set and music industry clientele, this Hollywood haven-- a hidden sanctuary of lush gardens and heated pools just off Sunset-- was "boutique" before "boutique" even existed. Rich in history, host to myriad film, fashion, and music events, the Sunset Marquis is as famed for its fabulous service as it is for its on-site private recording studio. Since opening in 1963, the Sunset Marquis has provided personalized services to the likes of the Rolling Stones, U2, Brad Pitt, Gabriel Byrne, Jennifer Lopez and Al Pacino. Its state-of-the-art recording studio has been used by Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige and, most recently, Madonna and Josh Groban. Now the Sunset Marquis has finished a $20 million expansion. And it's dazzling.
There are 40 new villas. All 12 of the existing villas and 102 hotel suites have been upgraded. The crown jewel of the property? The magnificent Presidential Suite with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 fireplaces, private screening room, dining area for 10, executive office, accessibility by private elevator and 24 hour Villa Butler. Presidential Villa guests also have the option of a chauffeur or self-driven Bentley, or chauffeured limo or SUV. But that's not all. The Villa pool area has been revamped with new private cabanas, and the main pool-- with al fresco dining-- boasts a new outdoor bar.
The buzzing LA hotspot Whiskey Bar has been re-christened as Bar 1200. (Pictured. You can see the private collection of celebrity and rock icon photographs taken by renowned photographer Ross Halfin.) The famous recording studio is now called NightBird. And a new spa with Porsche furniture will soon debut. Coming soon: a dazzling new restaurant, where the Paris-trained Chef Guillaume Burlion is creating a French Fusion/Continental menu. Having worked at Michelin-starred establishments (and even cooked for Bill Clinton!), the new chef promises to wow his guests.
Talk about rock star amenities.

BUSINESS TAXES should be replaced by a simpler, single levy on distributed income, according to Accountancy Age readers.
Of the 50 polled, about 80% agreed a single levy should be imposed, with the remaining 20% dissenting.
The taxation of major international corporations has been thrown into sharp focus in recent months after it emerged companies including Starbucks, Amazon and Google had used tax avoidance arrangements to drive down their tax bills.
The trio was called before the public accounts committee, where their representatives were criticised for failing to pay a "just tax" and accused of being "immoral".
Google's European base is in Dublin and is administered from Bermuda, while its revenue in the UK was £396m in 2011, with £31m profit and £6m corporation tax paid.
Starbucks' global CFO Troy Alstead told the committee that in the 15 years the coffee house had been operating in the UK, it had only been profitable in 2006. In that year, it paid £8.6m in corporation tax.
Amazon director of public policy Andrew Cecil was roundly criticised by the committee for his lack of "serious" responses, and was told a more senior executive would be summoned in his stead.

If you own more than one motorcycle, then Bikesure, the specialist motorcycle insurance division of Adrian Flux, can help you get a multiple bike insurance quote at a single low price. As brokers we can tailor your multibike insurance around the bikes that you own, so we can offer individual cover whether you are a scooter afficianado, a superbike lover or a collector of classic bikes, and ensure you have the policy features you need.
Because of the bespoke nature of our multi bike insurance packages, you will need to speak to one of our highly trained underwriters who will help you find the best possible multibike insurance deal.
Bikers are usually passionate about their bikes, and as a result a large percentage of motorcyclists have more than one bike, either as part of a large or small collection or on the basis of one daily rider and another bike for the weekend or special occasions. Unfortunately when it comes to getting insurance for multiple bikes, many firms simply offer two separate quotes taking no account of the fact that only one bike can ridden at a time, or that enthusiasts take better care of their bikes.
When you take out multibike insurance from Bikesure, you can be sure that it will match your needs as an owner of more than one bike. We have access to an array of specialist motorbike insurance schemes and can build on our in depth knowledge of all types of motorbike to offer you a multi motorbike insurance policy with a single low premium covering all of your bikes, saving you time and money.
And if you have zero no claims bonus, don't despair. Whatever the reason for your lack of discount, you can get a quote from us, and we can also offer convicted rider insurance for riders with motoring convictions or criminal convictions.
Because our multi bike insurance is tailored to your needs, you can choose from a range of optional extras. Each policy comes with £100,000 of free legal cover included, but we also offer optional add-ons including personal injury cover, comprehensive breakdown cover and protective clothing and helmet insurance.
You can save even more money with our great range of discounts, including:
Our best rates are only available on the telephone, so make sure you call us on 0800 369 8580 before you buy a policy.
"I'd had four motorbikes since I started riding at the age of 17, but because I'm still only 21 I couldn't get anyone to give me a multi-bike insurance policy.
Bikesure looked beyond my age and were able to halve my insurance costs by putting all the bikes on one policy."
Tony is 66 and a massive Honda fan, he currently has a 1999 Honda XR250R, worth £1,200 and a 1990 VFR750F, worth £2,000. He rides entirely for pleasure and lives in Hereford (HR2) and covers around 1,500 miles a year on each bike. He has built up 14 years no claims bonus.
Tony's price is just £151.80 for fully comprehensive cover on both machines.
Glen is 47 and from Hull (HU11) and an aficionado of naked superbikes, he loves the retro styling and air-cooled appeal of his 1992 Kawasaki Zephyr ZR1100, but he also adores the V-Twin power of his 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille Tuono. The bikes are currently worth around £1,800 and £3,000 respectively. Glen will be riding less than 2,000 miles on each bike this year for social, domestic and pleasure purposes and has 2 years' no claims discount.
His rate is £184.65 for fully comprehensive SD&P cover.

When I start on a mod, I'll provide a bio.
Man, another Doom 3 mods that raised my standards. You guys did an excellent job especially for such a small team. Take all the time you need to build up your game.
Mapping: I love the art style and atmosphere of the surroundings. Unfortunately there were some rather nasty glitches with the switches and the light fairy, making noclipping necessary to continue due to a script trigger failing.
Story: There's a setting but not much plot, but that's to be expected of a demo
Gameplay: Combat is nice and solid but rather difficult. Bomb bastards were real tough but thankfully some power weapons solved them. I can't imagine how hard the game is on Grimm difficulty
Overall, a must play for Doom 3 fans.
Actually found this mod really fun, half life 2 beta content is far and few between these days. It's not as elaborate as Missing Information, but you're recreated a lot of stuff I have not seen from Missing Information. Hardcore was fun for half of the mod when enemies could remain unalerted to your presense, but I think it was frustrating in the second half.
Welp, I played this mod expecting some City 17 action and I got exactly that. It was shorter than I expected though, and for some reason I couldn't bring up the console. Other than that, very nicely done.
You had me play Flappy Bird with a watermelon, 10/10.
(Good mapping btw, puzzles were nice too)
Pretty nifty single player map, pity the time recording mechanic wasn't used at least one more time, would've been nice. As usual all your maps have soul.
Oh man how I've been waiting to write a review for this mod. Your mod was pretty annoying.
Story: The nicest part of this mod, little email quippets bring some light to the plight of our hero.
Gameplay: Spawning waves of enemies in tight corners defending npcs with no power weapons is the nail to this mod's coffin. It's absolutely infuriating to barely survive one encounter using the last of my rocket ammo to have it immediately follow another with more bullet sponge enemies. Is the game meant to be played on the easiest mode? Because that seems to be the only viable option.
Graphics: The mod refuses every line in the console and vpak to turn the screen settings to widescreen. As a result the mod looks pretty garish.
Mapping: Very well done, but extremely tiny
Overall, a stable Doom 3 mod blighted by absolutely frustrating gameplay and visual bugs.
Oh man, this was a very awesome mod. I played the first level before when the mod was only one map and it was very well done.
Story: Not much, but new characters and actual pacing in the game are present, which already makes this game an apple in my eye.
Gameplay: Mod is actually kinda hard, had to restart certain instances when my health was low so that I could survive the next encounter.
Mapping: Obviously the focal point of this mod, and it is absolutely beautiful, very intricate and very well done. Might have been heavy handed with the fog though.
Overall, an absolute blast of a mod, and one that harkens to the depot of the half life 2 beta. I loved every minute of it. Thanks to the guy who came up with the steam pipe patch, he's the reason why I finally got around to playing this mod.
It's a shame that I wasn't able to play this mod much much earlier, but sadly I didn't have a good computer back then. Now I do, and I finally got to play this mod. It was exquisite:
Story: Wonderfully done, the little note scraps and the voice acting(quite rare these days) really helped with the immersion. Some of the models for the dead bodies can be improved though as they're all stuck in the civilian pose.
Level Design: Wonderfully intricate and massive, some areas harkened to the story, a little bit arena esque at times but only in a few spots. Backtracking through the first level felt off though since some areas felt like they can only be traversed in one direction, and were a bitch to cross in the opposite way.
Gameplay: Only a handful of enemy types and weapons, but the puzzle solving and exploration made up for more than its fair share in the game. It was serviceable.
Overall, a very excellent Doom 3 alpha still in development. I'm looking forward to the final product.
This has been the most stable Doom 3 mod that I have played, and on top of that its a very good campaign. Typically my experience with Doom 3 mods have always been a source of compromise, but here you have spared no detail in your design. A very wonderful mod that has raised my standards. Breakdown:
+Painless installation and stable gameplay
+Good game pacing that ended with a high octane climactic battle
+Immersive sound design
+Intricate maps that reward exploration
-Lack of story
-Little quippetes for each hiding spot found were patronizingly frequent
-Samey map design.
Overall: 9/10 DOWNLOAD THIS MOD
It's alright, does involve a little puzzling, most of them were simple. Maps though are very claustrophobic and the color choice is rather painful for the eyes.

Application support analysts assist users of computer and mobile applications. They must be able to think creatively in order to implement improvements, and they may also be involved in installing new software and making updates. Software must be tested prior to being implemented and then re-tested periodically.Read More...
Problems may be detected from areas where users have consistently reported problems, or when users are unable to complete certain tasks. These analysts may receive inquiries from clients through chat, email, or phone, so customer service skills are beneficial in this position. Application support analysts may also create frequently-asked-questions (FAQ) lists and troubleshooting guides to minimize the number of inquiries made. Problems and bugs that are reported should be researched, followed by resolutions, and problems should then continue to be monitored. These support analysts perform many tasks independently, but it's also important that they work well with others in technical positions to successfully obtain conclusions.
A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field may be required for this position, and some employers require experience, which can be obtained from prior employment or internships, while others provide on-the-job training to qualified candidates. Application support analysts must also stay up-to-date with all changes in the technological field to keep their skills current.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
For Application Support Analysts, progressing to a Senior Systems Analyst role may result in a significant raise. On average, a Senior Systems Analyst can earn $81K annually. Application Support Analysts moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as IT Business Analysts or Applications Systems Analysts. The median paychecks in those roles are $10K higher and $4K higher, respectively.
Application Support Analysts report using a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Java, Epic Systems, Internet Information Server, and Oracle SQL Developer are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 11 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Electronic Medical Records, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Office. It is often found that people who know Information Technology Support are also skilled in Microsoft Excel and SQL.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Application Support Analysts — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $52K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $62K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Application Support Analysts make a median salary of $65K. After two decades in the workforce, the average Application Support Analyst generally earns more than ever; median pay for this group is estimated at $72K.
For those looking to make money, Application Support Analysts in Boston enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 43 percent above the national average. Application Support Analysts can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+30 percent), Columbus (+17 percent), Tampa (+15 percent), and Dallas (+12 percent). The lowest-paying market is Pittsburgh, which sits 23 percent below the national average, proving that location is a significant contributor to overall pay. Employers pay around 15 percent less in Indianapolis and 1 percent less in San Diego, below-median salaries for those in this field.

Diving into some of most burning questions on gold, USD, the yen, China, and more
The whole Keynesian regulatory structure is going to collapse. Why? Because we are reaching an inflection point. We are reaching the point at which the exponential curve turns sharply upward. This is good news for liberty, and it is bad news for the arrogant theorists of Keynesian central planning, the arrogant tenured bureaucrats of central banks, and the protected employees of virtually every other government-regulated industry or profession. They are presiding over the final stages of the illusion of central planning.
Brazil's current crisis is nothing but an outcome of government's meddling with the market. The scenario of the country's economy is indeed scary, but we have reason to believe that Brazil's intellectual situation is going through a new and promising change. It may be true, as Lord Keynes said, that "in the long run we are all dead," but if we are to get out of this terrible crisis, to prosper and to enjoy a constant improvement in our standard of living, "it is high time to transform the country's state capitalism into a free market system."
The game is simple: we know that macroeconomics is a fiction from top to bottom, the challenge is to expose it as such. Here are some apparently innocent questions to ask of economists, journalists, financial commentators and central bankers, which are designed to expose the contradictions in their economic beliefs. A pretence of economic ignorance by the questioner is best, because it is most disarming.
In the end we all know that "informal central bank cooperation" doesn't really amount to anything. That lesson could be applied to the Bundesbank "selling dollars" in 1969, the PBOC "selling UST's" in 2015 or the worthless, useless Federal Reserve RRP in 2016. They really don't know what they are doing, they never have and it truly doesn't matter fixed or floating. Adjust accordingly because we know how this ends; we've already seen it.
Maybe because not enough people caught the dire warning the first time, moments ago Bloomberg reported that Han Jun, the deputy director of China's office of the central leading group for financial and economic afairs, spoke at an event at the Chinese consulate in New York and practically reiterated the anonymous source's warning practically verbatim. To wit: "There won't be a strong economic stimulus and people shouldn't expect a V-shape recovery; instead long period of L-shape growth path is likely" said Han, who participated in the drafting of China's latest five year plan.
The future direction of the planet is a choice between independent money and the central bankers counter-party paper Ponzi. Gold is independent monetary wealth that cannot go broke.
Superficially one gets the impression that they aren't really trying to "explain" anything to the hoi-polloi, since it all sounds remarkably uncoordinated. To the extent that the messages are contradictory, they merely reveal the literal impossibility of central planning – neither Dudley nor Evans can possibly know at what level short term interest rates should be set.
The Fed remains in a box of its own making. We are beginning to doubt whether central bank will ever be hike rates again voluntarily. What is however eventually highly likely to happen is that the markets will force the Fed to act – or as Bill Fleckenstein puts it, "the bond market may take the printing press away from them".
How did the world manage to go from one acute crisis to mutliple acute crises in the space of seven years despite trillions in central bank asset purchases, you ask? Here's the crisis contagion roadmap to help explain.
The Jackson Hole gathering may end up providing at least some clarification, but not even close to the manner in which everyone seems intent on inferring. With Janet Yellen's notable absence, there isn't the same sort of celebrity about what would have been the media hanging upon every word; that is, after all, what the Federal Reserve has become, not an organ of stability or even expertise but a public relations effort aimed squarely at trying to convince everyone possible that it is. Given the unique circumstances at the moment, the real issue is not whether they might raise rates but just how much systemic misdirection has already been revealed even to the least attentive of people.
A half-century ago, America - and then the world - was rocked by a mighty stock-market crash that soon turned into the steepest and longest-lasting depression of all time. Those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it - except that now, with gold abandoned and each nation able to print currency ad lib, we are likely to wind up, not with a repeat of 1929, but with something far worse...
Economics is dead, and economists killed it. What we have seen over the course of the last eighty years is a systematic dismantling of the contribution of economics to our understanding of the social world. But apparently what is dead can be killed again.
Scholars, commentators, and other public figures who defend liberty in some areas and authoritarianism in other areas - or combine a defense of economic or civil liberty with a defense of the warfare state - undermine the case for the liberties they claim to cherish. Restoring the link between economic liberty, civil liberty, and peace is a vital task for those seeking to restore a society of liberty, peace, and prosperity.
Alas, by ignoring Keynes in 1925, Churchill triggered a calamity so severe that it not only inspired one man to kill himself beneath the British statesman's very window but, more insidiously, also provided the impetus for the economics profession's rejection of the "classical" axioms.
For as long as the present economic system lumbers along, Keynesians will control the levers of power and influence. But when at last the system goes down in a heap, and central banks cannot restore the system, there will be a quest for answers. When you live by the Federal Reserve, you die by the Federal Reserve.

How many calories does a dog need?
Keeping dogs healthy is important to us so we've created new calorie requirement estimator and food counter apps. We are hoping that these web-apps will come in handy for you to try your hand in cooking for your dogs. You can make all the meals for your dogs, or simply add home cooked meals as a supplement to the manufactured food.
The first thing to do is to confirm or calculate how many kilocalories your dog requires to be fed on a daily basis (Daily Energy Requirement or DER). The total calorie requirement should be divided by the number of meals (usually 2) fed to your dog daily. All treats and snacks also need to be accounted for and their calories should be subtracted from the total that will be provided in their meals. It is always recommended that before making changes to a dog's current diet you discuss this plan with your veterinarian. Do keep in mind that there are a number of different approaches that are used to calculate a dog's caloric needs so while our app calculates your dog's DER, there are other formulas with slightly different results (we have included a chart that uses another popular measurement, the Maintenance Energy Requirement, that you can also follow.)
Screenshot of Bark's DER Calculator
Do keep in mind that these calculations are really only estimates. Also, it is important to note that every dog is truly an individual, and their current weight, activity level, age, intact or neuter, physiological condition and other factors must also be considered. No matter what formula you use, the best way to judge a feeding plan's efficacy is by simply keeping track of any weight loss or gain, and adjusting accordingly. And again, it is good to consult with your vet before making any changes to a dog's diet.
Ingredient Calculations:
When calculating the calories for ingredients, there are a variety of sources that can be used. I decided to do compute calculations in ounces to make it simpler for myself, and others to use. The ingredients we have included in our chart are the most common ones found in home cooked meals. If there are ingredients missing you can use any of the online calorie sources that we have noted under the chart to add those to your list.
A digital kitchen scale is definitely the easiest when to know how much any ingredient weighs—you need to measure the actual weight, not the volume (such standard measuring cups measure).
When using the slow cooker approach to making dog meals, you will also need to factor in the weight of the water you use in cooking the meals. So if you use 6 cups of water, or 48 ounces, that weight will need to be added to the total weight of the ingredients, to get an accurate calculation how many calories there are in one ounce of the food. Most slow cooker meals are around 20 to 35 calories per ounce.
As Dr. Greg Martinez has noted in his slow cooker recipe, you will need to provide supplementation to most diets (especially those that do not incorporate any manufactured food). Common supplements include calcium (or bone meal) about 1 tsp per pound of food, Vitamin E (2 IU per pound of dog daily), and either sardines in water (one-quarter to one tin twice weekly) or one to three 1,200 mg fish oil capsules daily (Dose is based on 10 to 30 mg/pound of DHA and EPA).
In my investigations into home cooking for your pet I have used a variety of excellent sources that you might also like to consult. Here is a sampling of the books, websites, and services:
Starting with Dr. Richard Pitcairn's classic Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats. His was one of the first guides to home cooking and the ingredient charts are extremely helpful, especially detailing the amount of water to use per dry ingredient, and the cooked yields.
Home-Prepared Dog & Cat Diets by Patricia Schenck, DVM, PhD contains many different diet plans, and the special medical conditions that they cover.
Monica Segal offers nutritional consultations and menu planning, that can also include supplementing a kibble based diet. She is the author of 9Kitchen and Your Dog's Diet. monicasegal.com
Rebecca Remillard, DVM, Veterinary Nutritional Consultations. She as been providing consultations for 20 years. She provides customized recipes for healthy pets, and nutritional consultations for pets with medical conditions. She works directly with pet guardians and with their vets. petdiets.com
Sean Delaney's Balance It is also a veterinarian nutritional consulting service. His site offers many interesting recipes and diet plans. Balanceit.com, go to the "free balanceit ez tab" to build your own recipes and to understand their nutrient composition. balanceit.com
Mary Straus' website dogaware.com is a good resource for sample diets (both raw and cooked) and supplements for home prepared meals, as well as general health related topics. dogaware.com

Well, it looks like recent research into prehistoric Japanese graves proves, at least, that dogs were indeed our long-time hunting companions. In this fascinating study written by Angela Perri recently published a fascinating study that proves just this. This line of inquiry started when she was a grad student at Durham University in the UK. As David Grimm writes in Science:
But the biggest takeaway she got was just how impressive the dogs were during this hunt. Not only did the 5 Bloodhounds and Shiba Inus help to track down the prey, but they also warned the humans when the boars were nearby.
That got Perri interested in investigating Japanese research papers for anything about dogs and the Jōmon culture—hunter-gatherers from 16,000 to 2,400 year ago. They lived in the northern islands with a cold climate filled with large terrestrial megafauna of the Pleistocene, like Naumann's elephants and Yabe's giant deer. But during the Holocene, 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, there was a climatic warming displacing the larger animals with smaller, quicker ungulates like sika deer and wild boar. As Perri notes in the Antiquity paper, "This environmental shift … led to the creation of new exploitation niches for Jōmon foragers, including important variations in plant availability, coastal resources and terrestrial prey species."
Perri's research has involved studying dogs as "hunting technology," and as she noted, "A hunting partnership between dogs and humans has long been postulated in the archaeological literature, with some researchers suggesting that such a collaborative alliance was the basis for the initial domestication of dogs. She points out that, "Dogs are an important, and in some cases indispensable, hunting aid for many modern forager groups, as they probably were for foragers in prehistory." And explains that, "Injured deer often run, leading hunters on long chases, and wild boar can be aggressive and quickly learn to evade capture. Hunting dogs mitigate these factors by tracking blood trails, forcing game into vulnerable positions (e.g. in water) and holding prey until the hunter can make the final kill."
Perri was familiar with the significance that dogs had with many ancient cultures, and how the ethnographic record has confirmed their importance and the revered status many of the dogs obtained, which often was displayed in the manner they were buried in "remarkably human-esque ways, often with grave goods and markers."
She performed a comprehensive survey of Japanese archaeological literature, and found that the Honshu Jōmon did bury their canine hunting partners in shell middens, same as they did with humans. And found over 110 canine burials from 39 archaeological sites. "They were treating their dogs the same way they treated their human hunters." And, "Like people, the dogs (which may have resembled Shiba Inus) were placed singly and appear to have been arranged in particular postures. 'They looked like they curled up and went to sleep,' Perri notes. Some had suffered what appeared to be hunting injuries—broken legs and teeth—and many of their bones had healed, suggesting people had taken care of them. Some were also found with grave goods, like shell bracelets and deer antlers." Their ages ranged from newborn to over 12 years old. While the prehistoric puppies weren't certainly valued as hunters, she noted that "the ethnographic record shows that puppies in hunter-gatherer groups are often valued for their potential as future hunting partners."
Along with the burials themselves, Perri found that the "importance of hunting dogs in this region is also demonstrated by the numerous dog-shaped clay figures (dogu), including a set that features a dog barking at three wild boar." Or, "One Yayoi representation of dogs is found on a ceremonial bronze bell (dotaku) depicting a number of scenes, one of which is a boar surrounded by a hunter and a pack of dogs." As shown here:

Perri concludes that while dogs were an integral part of the ancestral forest hunting culture, once an agricultural subsistence culture took over, the dog burials stopped as well.
As Grimm noted in his article and quotting Melinda Zeder, an archaeozoologist at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History, "it may be a disparity in loyalty. "Humans were a bit of a fair-weather friend—we were not as reliable as they were," she laughs. "We could do to be a little more doglike." We couldn't agree with that sentiment more.
Hoping to increase adoption rates
Antioch High School (in Northern California) is pairing up their cross country team with dogs from the Antioch Animal Shelter. This past Thursday they launched a practice session of their Panther Tails Program. The group of student athletes ran the one-mile from their school to the shelter to pick up their four-legged teammates and then continued for another 3 miles along the historic downtown area.
The program was the brainchild of the school's community liaison, Trine Gallegos to foster student community spirit and the adoption of shelter dogs.
She was inspired by another school who was doing this and saw their post on Facebook. She brought the idea to cross-country coach Lisa Cuza and principal Louie Rocha, and they quickly signed on. The students themselves were so excited with the idea that they got their release forms signed in what seemed like record time.
So on Thursday (Sept 15) six shelter dogs, volunteers, the head coach, and the runners, set off for their trial run. The dogs sported black and gold bandannas to show "their panther pride." Everything went smoothly and the students and dogs had great fun. It all worked out so well that next week they'll be running with 10 dogs!
Let's hope that not only did these pups get the much needed exercise and time out of the shelter, but the community will cheer on their Panther team by rushing to the shelter and adopting these amazing dogs. Plus, hopefully this idea will spread further—so pass along this great idea to your local shelter or high school.
Ever wonder how your dog feels about your musical tastes? To celebrate National Dog Day (Friday, August 26), Deezer, the on-demand digital music streaming service has assembled a couple of playlists that should be enjoyed by the entire pack. Deezer worked with animal behaviorist Dr. David Sands to study how dogs hear and react to different kinds of music based on beats per minute. The results are two playlists that they claim are scientifically proven to help energize or calm your pup. Unlike previous studies of the impact of music on dogs and recommend the classical genre … there's no Brahms or Mozart in sight. Instead there's a selection of more contemporary musical styles including Shutdown by Skepta; Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya plus favorites Hey Ya! by OutKast and Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees for the "happy" playlist. For the "chill" side, Justin Bieber's Love Yourself; Adele's Someone Like You and Bob Marley & The Wailers' Could You Be Loved top the list for a calming vibe.
Not only is it important for dogs to be healthy and happy, but it's equally important for their people to be as well. When canine guardians are calm and in good spirits, they project the same feeling of happiness onto their dogs. The normal resting heart rate of an average adult is between 60 to 100 beats per minute, but listening to favorite music tracks can raise the heart rate to match the increased heart rate pups experience from the exact same tunes.
"Your overall health and happiness has a huge effect on your canine counterpart," emphasizes Dr. Sands. "Both humans and dogs are stimulated by the frequency range, pattern and volume of the beats in music. This is why turning on your favorite tunes cannot only positively affect you, but also your dog." So, take off the headphones and share the music …!
Here are the complete Deezer's playlists …

This past Saturday, July 23—"Clear the Shelters" brought together over 650 animal shelters, rescue organizations and media outlets to address the overcrowding issues that local animal facilities experience in the summer months because of spring litters. In events around the country, shelters waived adoption fees, offered training lessons and free dog and cat food to encourage as many adoptions as possible. The day's results show 45,252 shelter pets were adopted. That number more than doubles the tally from 2015, the first year of the nationwide effort. Our local event in Berkeley, CA, reported 135 adoptions. Kudos to the organizers and all of the participants, and most of all—congratulations to everybody who welcomed a new animal into their home!
Be sure to tune into and visit "Clear the Shelters" this Saturday, July 23. It is the largest adoption initiative in the nation with over 400 animal shelters and rescue organizations, holding street fairs and opening their doors to people interested in bringing a new family member home with them. The event is sponsored by NBC Owned Television Stations and the Telemundo Station Group.
The animals will be ready for their new homes and come spayed or neutered, microchipped. Many shelters are also waiving adoption fees, plus offering benefits like free training lessons, dog food, coupons for toys and other products. Clear the Shelters helps to address the overcrowding issues that local animal shelters typically experience in the summer months because of spring litters. Last year some shelters actually were so successful that they were emptied of their animals, so let's make this year's event even bigger and better. Even if you can't adopt a dog just now, it still is a good time to come out and attend a local event, to talk with shelter personnel, or local rescuers to understand the importance of adopting your next pet from a shelter. See for yourself how many wonderful animals need new homes.
Check out this map for an event in your area. And let us know if you adopt a dog on July 23, and if send us a photo of you with your new dog we'll give you a free subscription to The Bark. Send us your photo submission here.
A ruling in an animal abuse case in Oregon should have far-reaching ramifications because the Supreme Court of that state ruled recently that pets are not just "mere" property. The case involved the conviction of a dog owner who was starving her pet. In this instance the owner had appealed her conviction for second-degree neglect because a veterinarian had drawn the dog's blood (without her permission).
According to the Court's summary of the case:
Newcomb was then convicted of second-degree animal neglect, a misdemeanor. Among other problems with the conviction, Newcomb argued, authorities violated her constitutional rights to be protected from unreasonable searches of property by drawing blood from her dog. Under Oregon law, animals are defined as property.
The prosecutor Adam Gibbs had argued that taking the dog to the veterinarian office was similar to care in suspected child-abuse cases. And further argued that a dog is not a container—like an inanimate piece of property—that requires a warrant. Rather, Gibbs argued that a dog "doesn't contain anything"—and that what's inside a dog is just "more dog."
The Supreme Court's ruling agreed with his, stating that the chemical composition of Juno's blood was not "information" that Newcomb "placed in Juno for safekeeping or to conceal from view."
And concluded that the "defendant had no protected privacy interest in Juno's blood that was invaded by the medical procedures performed." And while dogs are considered personal property in Oregon, the ownership rights aren't the same as with inanimate property, imposing other limits. "Those limitations, too, are reflections of legal and social norms. Live animals under Oregon law are subject to statutory welfare protections that ensure their basic minimum care, including veterinary treatment. The obligation to provide that minimum care falls on any person who has custody and control of a dog or other animal."
Also interestingly the court added,

Todd Solondz's new film is titled Weiner-Dog and is classified as a comedy. The director has a unique brand of filmmaking—he's known for creating off-beat, dark character studies that stretch the boundaries of satire and humor. Many critics champion his work (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Storytelling) while others find them cruel and over-the-top downbeat. It's not for nothing that he's been called the "King of Feel-Bad Cinema." Still, his films are serious and thought-provoking, grappling with life's most difficult issues—alienation, human frailty, mortality. I was interested to see what he would do with a film centered around a dog.
If you intend to see this film, warning … read no further. The dog does not come to a happy end. And it is not off-camera. The gruesome hit-and-run scene seems to be inspired by Sam Peckinpah, the '70s filmmaker noted for his ballet-like depictions of death scenes (The Wild Bunch). This cringe-worthy moment is one of many that animal lovers will suffer through. There are several other scenes of antiquated dog "training" and "care" that made viewers wince. Real as they may be, it's hard to watch. That's not to say that all film featuring animals must be obligated to end happily. We know that is not how life is. In an interview, Solondz talked with Gawker about the film's subject matter:
Still, with all of the publicity surrounding the film (reviews in the New Yorker, on NPR) and misleading blurbs portraying the film as a comedy—we feel our readers should be forewarned. This is not a film for the faint of heart and certainly not suitable viewing for children. But don't take our word for it, check out this review and others, and decide for yourself.
[Article Update]
Pat Summitt, the legendary basketball coach who brought women's basketball to new heights, died at the age of 64. She had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at 58.
Not only did she have an amazingly successful career with the University of Tennessee's Lady Vols, but she was an inspiration both on and off the court to her players, all of whom also graduated, school officials said. She coached for almost 40 years, and started her career as coach when she was only 22 years old. She also inspired a variable Who's Who in women's sports, see this sampling of head coaches with ties to her.
Not only that, but her toughness, resilience—and love for her dogs—was demonstrated in 2008 when she dislocated her shoulder while forearming a raccoon off her deck to protect her Lab, Sally.
[This following post appeared in 2011]
Pat Summitt is one gutsy woman, not only is she the winningest NCAA basketball coach in history (male or female) but this week she announced she has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 59. Her talents, on and off the court, are near and dear to our hearts and we were thrilled when we had the opportunity to interview her about how dogs have inspired her and her style of coaching. Not only that, but her toughness, resilience—and love for her dogs—was demonstrated three years ago when she dislocated her shoulder while forearming a raccoon off her deck to protect her Lab, Sally. We wish her, and her family, well—and hope that she will continue to inspire her players and all those who love the game of basketball.

The New Deal:
The New Deal: A Global History provides a radically new interpretation of a pivotal period in US history. The first comprehensive study of the New Deal in a global context, the book compares American responses to the international crisis of capitalism and democracy during the 1930s to responses by other countries around the globe—not just in Europe but also in Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. Work creation, agricultural intervention, state planning, immigration policy, the role of mass media, forms of political leadership, and new ways of ruling America's colonies—all had parallels elsewhere and unfolded against a backdrop of intense global debates.
By avoiding the distortions of American exceptionalism, Kiran Klaus Patel shows how America's reaction to the Great Depression connected it to the wider world. Among much else, the book explains why the New Deal had enormous repercussions on China; why Franklin D. Roosevelt studied the welfare schemes of Nazi Germany; and why the New Dealers were fascinated by cooperatives in Sweden—but ignored similar schemes in Japan.
Ultimately, Patel argues, the New Deal provided the institutional scaffolding for the construction of American global hegemony in the postwar era, making this history essential for understanding both the New Deal and America's rise to global leadership.
Kiran Klaus Patel is the Jean Monnet Professor of European and Global History at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. His books include Soldiers of Labor: Labor Service in Nazi Germany and New Deal America, 1933–1945, and he has edited a number of volumes, including The United States and Germany during the Twentieth Century.
"A deep, scholarly dive into the New Deal"--Kirkus
"A compelling argument that is profoundly relevant to the twenty-first century."--Glenn C. Altschuler, Huffington Post
"Patel presents exhaustive and valuable factual comparisons of the New Deal with various other country policies in the 1930s."--Choice
"A rich account of facts that shows in detail the unfolding and the impact of the New Deal."--Stefano Solari, History of Economic Thought and Policy
"The first book to globalize the history of the New Deal, this is an amazing tour de force with fresh insights on virtually every page. Many historians will wish they had written it."--Akira Iriye, Harvard University
"This indispensable book reveals the national, comparative, and global dimensions of the Great Depression and New Deal. Attentive to the global circuitry of policy options and supported by a vast knowledge of other national responses, Kiran Klaus Patel transforms our understanding of the formation and nationalist shape of the New Deal. One cannot claim to understand the New Deal without reading this book."--Thomas Bender, author of A Nation Among Nations: America's Place in World History
"Kiran Klaus Patel boldly advances the effort to transnationalize historians' understanding of the New Deal, convincingly demonstrating the need to understand the United States in the 1930s as embedded in a larger world confronting a shared crisis. This formidable book decisively challenges exceptionalist claims about mid-twentieth-century reform in the United States."--Paul A. Kramer, author of The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States, and the Philippines
