A Rwandan Order of Peace; Grand Officer Breast Star - Three-piece construction, silver with gilt, along with white and blue enamels, weighing 216 grams, 97 mm x 99 mm, vertical pinback flanked by dual prongs, chipping and crazing evident on the centrepiece ring, otherwise, enamels are intact, near extremely fine.
A Central African Republic. Order of Operation Bokassa, Grand Cross Badge
Silver gilt with red, white, green and blue enamels, French-made, hallmarked on the ring, inscribed in French "S.M.I. BOKASSA 1er, EMPIRE CENTRAFRICAIN" (His Imperial Majesty Bokassa I, Central African Empire) on the obverse centrepiece ring and "OPERATION BOKASSA" on the reverse centrepiece ring, 61.5 mm x 91 mm inclusive of its wreath and ball suspension, chipping evident in the white enamels on the wreath and one obverse arm, green enamel repair on the reverse centrepiece ring, the centrepiece loose versus the body of the order, overall gilt loss, very fine.
Footnote: The Order was instituted on November 19, 1970, to recognize meritorious service to the Republic in all domains but particularly development of the country. On December 4, 1976, President Bokassa elevated himself to the title of Emperor and the inscription on the face of the Order was amended. This example dates from the period between that date and Bokassa's overthrow on September 21, 1979. The Order has not been awarded since that date but its wear is tolerated. Jean-Bédel Bokassa (1921-1996) was a career soldier who joined the Free French forces and finished the Second World War as a Sergeant Major with the Legion d'Honneur and the Croix de Guerre. He left the French army in 1964 with the rank of Captain and joined the army of the new Central African Republic. His military distinction and family ties to senior politicians soon led to his becoming Chief of Staff. On January 1, 1966, he led a military coup and became authoritarian President. In 1976, he declared his country a monarchy and himself emperor. By 1979, his ties with Colonel Gadaffi's Libya and atrocities against his own people led France to withdraw support and give active armed assistance to former President Dacko, leading to Bokassa's overthrow on September 21, 1979. Bokassa went into exile in Ivory Coast and then France, returning to Central Africa in 1986. He was tried and imprisoned but released in 1993. He died in 1996.

Old Holland has been synonymous with quality oil colors for more than 300 years. They took their time developing a line of brushes worthy of their oils and really got it right!
Using a special blend of the finest quality Russian Kolinsky sable, the head (shape) of each brush is handcrafted by experienced, world-class brushmakers to the exact requirements of master artists. Each brush is put through extensive trials over many months. Heads are then firmly attached to seamless polished nickel-plated ferrules.
Silver-tipped, finely balanced matte black hardwood handles augment the distinguished look and feel of these magnificent tools.
Experience the firm feel of very full Kolinsky hair brushes, the superb shaping of the heads, which come to an excellent edge and/or point, and the luxurious softness of only the finest hair.
Brush sizes — The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size may vary by manufacturer as brush sizes are not standardized. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from within a single brush line.

Awesome Brushes

Comments about Old Holland Kolinsky Sable Round:
I am painting shorebirds. They require details in the feathers. The #2 is best for the small details. The #6 is best for larger feathers. These brushes have fine points and hold more paint than synthetics. I just don't have to go back to my pallet and reload my brushes as often so that the consistency of the colr is higher.
A brush worth the cost!

Comments about Old Holland Kolinsky Sable Brushes:
I LOVE holland brushes, they are the best I've worked with for oil paints. The line quality is amazing. I use to buy cheaper brushes because I didn't want to invest in more expensive ones, thinking that there couldn't be that much of a difference. The problem was all of those brushes just weren't producing a line quality I liked, and felt unsatisfied. I decided to take a risk and buy a Holland brush. The difference in quality is amazing! It just shows that in this case you really do get what you pay for. :)
My Favorite Brushes
By Flash Bandicoot
from The Mountain West
In some of my lessons I was told I should get some mid sized red sables for detailed work. I picked up some of the Old Holland brights in the 2 to 8 range, even though the cost was a bit more than some other brands. They are really smooth, keep their shape, hold lots of paint and are just an absolute joy to paint with compared to bristles in the same size range. Since my livelihood is engineering and not painting, I'm not sure I would be able to justify some of the larger ones for what I do, but I am absolutely hooked on these red sables for smaller work. They cost a bit more, but I would buy them again given the choice.

Poorly Manufactured Old Holland Brush
By Appreciates Quality
from West Hills, California
We purchased an Old Holland number 8 Filbert on November 28, 2011. This brush is one of 8 Old Holland brushes we have, and the first one we have had a problem with. In general the brushes are wonderful. Specifically the brush head fell off the handle today. We take excellent care of our brushes and have done nothing to cause the head to fall off. I have spent over an hour trying to find out who to contact concerning this, and there is no company listed with any search engine for other than Old Holland paint, which does not include brushes in its product support or lines. For a company with such glowing reviews of its products this does seem odd. We haven't decided yet what to replace this faulty brush with, but Old Holland seems unlikely, despite the pleasure of using the ones we have. 7 months of very light use, isn't worth the cost. The head fell off while we were checking our Old Holland brushes to see which sizes we have, before ordering additional brushes to compliment what we have, not from misuse.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We apologize, it sounds as though you have received defective product. At Blick we attempt to send out every order free from defect or damage.

A fantastic brush line!
By RS Connett
from LOS ANGELES, CA
These are brushes for the professional artist. They can be used with acrylics, as well as oils. They are, (in my opinion) the best sable brushes for acrylics. I use them for glazing, details. Every brush I have purchased in the past 5 years has been a "good one." I can see that the makers take great care with each. I have OH brushes that I purchased in 2005, STILL in use today, in 2010, almost as good as new. You must take great care in cleaning. If you do, these will reward you. I paint every day, professionally, and I give these brushes a heavy workout WITH acrylic paint! I'm very happy with Old Hollands brushes, and their line of acrylic paint too.

Simon Pegg is on a roll. Suddenly, interviews have a whole new appeal for him. For the first time, he says, "I've actually had something to talk about, rather than telling a story about a funny thing that happened on set".
Pegg has been discussing the philosophical ideas of his latest film, Hector and the Search for Happiness, as well as launching the occasional defence against those he feels have missed the point of it all.
The film is the story of a psychiatrist (played by Pegg) who suddenly quits his practice and his long-term partner to go on a round-the-world quest for meaning. The comedy might light-heartedly show Hector jotting down dictums about what he has learned, but it also contains what Pegg regards as serious reflections about the nature of happiness, which he says has really come into focus for him.
He didn't have any blinding revelations as a result of making the movie, he is quick to add, "but it certainly helped me to understand things".
"One of the most important, for me, was the whole thing of happiness as a process, not as an end. You can't be happy every day, it's impossible, because otherwise you'd be in a state of a kind of consistent numbness; you would have nothing to compare it to."
But happiness, he says, warming to the theme, "also helps you to understand being unhappy, in a way. If you understand what happiness is, it helps you understand every single emotion you have, as part of a larger process".
For Pegg, the film starts to take off when Hector dons his traveller's clothes. "It's the moment of unlocking his inner Tintin." (Pegg, as it happens, has a cinematic connection to Tintin. He and his friend and regular collaborator Nick Frost were the voices of the bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in The Adventures Of Tintin, Steven Spielberg's motion-capture epic.)
"He goes from being this buttoned-up adult to this kind of guileless adventurer," he continues.
"The movie is about tonal shifts ... when you go from joy to sadness in a breath. That's what the emotional spectrum is all about, and you have to know every single colour in order to truly know what happiness is.
"For me, the most important of the dictums that Hector writes down is the one that says 'avoiding unhappiness is not the way to happiness'. That strikes the loudest chord for me."
Hector, based on a bestselling novel by French author Francois Lelord, is directed and co-written by Peter Chelsom. The cast also includes Christopher Plummer, Toni Collette, Stellan Skarsgard and Jean Reno. Rosamund Pike, in cinemas now in David Fincher's dark thriller Gone Girl, plays Hector's girlfriend, Clara, with whom he had settled for a relationship of comfort, stasis and a degree of monotony.
Pegg and Pike have worked together before, in The World's End, the third instalment of the famed "Cornetto Trilogy" created by Pegg, Frost and director Edgar Wright, which made its debut with the heartfelt zombie comedy Shaun Of The Dead. After Pegg and Pike became friends on set, Pegg created the Twitter hashtag RosWatch. With her permission, he posts pictures he's taken of her each time they meet. It began with a shot of her asleep on the floor during reshoots of The World's End.
Pegg says he made the most of the travel in Hector And The Search For Happiness – Europe, Asia, Africa, the US – but found it difficult to be separated from his wife and young daughter for weeks at a time. "But to get to see places I wouldn't ordinarily see – and also parts of those places you would never see as a tourist, particularly in South Africa – was absolutely fantastic.
"I'd watched that country from afar as a young activist, a 16-year-old wearing my anti-apartheid badge and refusing to eat grapes for 24 hours or whatever, but to actually go there and see it up close ... was amazing, and educational and very, very moving."
Some film reviewers have taken issue with the way Hector's overseas destinations have been characterised. For Pegg, in the world of the movie, "China becomes a place that is mysterious and tempting, and Africa is the dark continent of old ... It's how those places would be described in a children's book. I read a couple of reviews that totally didn't get that, that said, 'that's just racist'. For me that was quite a bone-headed reduction [of] what the film is about."
The point, Pegg insists, is that the uptight Hector is "a terminal adult who has lost his childhood self", and so the story is told from a child's point of view. "The idea is that there is value in retaining your innocence a little bit because it helps you access your emotions as an adult."
Pegg made his first foray into Hollywood moviemaking in 2006, playing tech whiz Benji Dunn in Mission: Impossible III. He was Scotty in J.J. Abrams' new take on Star Trek; the voice of Reepicheep the mouse in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and of Buck the one-eyed weasel in Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs. His recent movie-making travels have included a journey to Western Australia to appear in Kill Me Three Times for Red Dog's director, Kriv Stenders. "It was a really fun experience: a crime caper that doesn't take itself too seriously," Pegg says.
His next couple of projects are closer to home. When we spoke, he was just about to start Mission: Impossible 5, and after that, Star Trek 3.
Pegg suggested around the release of The World's End last year that he and Frost might "take a break" from their working relationship and "maybe we'll do a bunch of stuff apart, to change the way we're regarded". But he confirms now that the Cornetto trio have more in store.
"I am going to be blockbusting for the next seven or eight months, and then more stuff with Edgar and Nick," he says. "There are things that I am developing as a producer and writer, and possibly director. I'm busy for the next year and a half, and after that we'll just wait and see."
The search for happiness: five films to get you started
Never has the downside of good cheer been more evident than in Mike Leigh's tale of a primary school teacher (Sally Hawkins) whose sheer, almost impossible, optimism makes those around her cranky and irritable.
Chronicle Of A Summer
"Are you happy?" is the question posed to ordinary Parisians in this 1960 documentary by Edgar Morin and Jean Rouch, and from this question flow so many others – about politics, work, money, repression, inner life, the past and the present.
Eat Pray Love
Julia Roberts stars in Ryan Murphy's fictional version of a bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert about a woman's search for equanimity in Italy, India and Bali.
French documentary maker Thomas Balmes explores what happens in the tiny kingdom of Bhutan – where a "gross national happiness" index is calculated – when a decision is made to bring TV to the country.
Groundhog Day
Harold Ramis's movie is full of many pleasures and many subjects: one of them is happiness, and how to find it without looking for it. Bill Murray's cantankerous weatherman learns many things when his life is turned into a loop of daily repetition.

Verac the Defiled
this wiki
|Release date
|9 May 2005 (Update)
|Combat level
|Always drops
|A vengeful spirit corrupted by dark magic.
Verac the Defiled is the youngest of the six Barrows brothers. Verac's crypt is located to the north-west of the Barrows area.
Verac's set effect: Verac's Defilement - Allows Verac's hits to have a chance to hit through protection prayer, also ignoring Defence in a similar fashion to a player wearing a full set of Verac's equipment. Protect from Melee is still advised when attacking Verac to lower the amount of times he will hit. This set effect makes Verac very dangerous and food is likely needed to kill him.
Verac is arguably the toughest brother. Although his max hit is significantly lower than that of Dharok's (who is considered by many to be the most dangerous brother), he is the only brother who can not be dealt with by just praying.
Verac's weakness is Magic; therefore, it is recommended to use spells such as Bolt spells or Magic Dart against him, with the latter being conveniently accurate and cost-effective, since looting the chests gives you death and mind runes. Having Ranged or Melee armour is recommended when fighting him, as his Magic Defence is so low that you can hit well even with Melee armour. Having armour with a good Prayer bonus might be useful. Having a high crush Defence won't help, as Verac's special also ignores armour. However, as the special does not occur with every hit, it is still recommended to wear armour with high Defence if you are not praying.
Players can also use Entangle, Ice Blitz or Ice Barrage on Verac if they can use it; the spells will bind him for 15 and 20 seconds respectively, allowing players to stay away from Verac and save food in the process.
Ahrim the Blighted • Dharok the Wretched • Guthan the Infested • Karil the Tainted • Torag the Corrupted • Verac the Defiled

It was standing room only during the auction as a succession of Mr Hirst's trademark pieces bearing resonant names went for prices that far outstripped the estimates: the shark in formaldehyde called The Kingdom went for £9.5 million; the pickled beast known as The Golden Calf lived up to its name and was sold for more than £10 million.
Even those sceptical about the intrinsic merit of Mr Hirst's works were struck by the extraordinary spectacle of so much money apparently freely available at a time when financial institutions are in freefall. It may not be coincidental, however, that those with money to invest may regard Hirst animal pieces as a safer bet than equities. Certainly, the one group that may share some of the anxieties of bankers are art dealers, whom Hirst simply ignored in taking his works straight to auction.
The spectacle of emperors' new clothes being found wanting is certainly prevalent in the City, where analysts now admit that a significant part of the financial sector was, prior to the fall of Lehman Brothers, massively over-leveraged, with a great deal of debt perched on a relatively small capital base. Few people believe the US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was wrong to decline to bail out Lehman's. If it had, the moral would have been that no matter how ill-judged a bank's operations, the taxpayer would have underpinned its future.
That is wrong in principle, even though it did happen both in the case of Northern Rock and in the recent bailout of the two largest US mortgage providers. They could not be allowed to fail but Lehman Brothers could. The point was thereby well made that securitising assets — wrapping up bad debts based on US property as tradable securities, misvalued by errant credit-rating agencies — was unsound banking. That lesson has been hard learned.
The question now is where the fallout will end. One institution that cannot be allowed to go under is the insurance giant AIG, which has received the equivalent of a bridging loan from the US insurance regulator to give it time to find cash elsewhere. AIG is the insurer's insurer. Unfortunately, its investment banking operations have been its undoing, but unlike Lehman Brothers, it is too important to the entire banking and insurance sector to sink.
As a result of these successive shocks, there have been predictable moves towards tightening regulation over the entire sector, articulated by both Barack Obama and John McCain and echoed in London. But the problems that led to the present crisis are complex and not susceptible to easy political solutions. In particular, as this paper's Anthony Hilton has forcefully pointed out, kneejerk regulation cannot be allowed to ride roughshod over the rights of shareholders; the remedy could lead to problems of a quite different order.
There are many people who will suffer from the fallout from the present crisis. Perhaps unfairly, the Prime Minister is one of them. He is certainly not responsible for the latest problems in the financial sector but febrile markets, falling pension values and uncertainty about the wider economy mean that the feelbad factor will affect his own political future. And that was already bad enough.
A good general
GENERAL David Petraeus is leaving Iraq in a far better state than when he took command of US forces there 18 months ago. Then, the situation seemed to have spiralled hopelessly out of control. But at least partly because of General Petraeus's so-called surge, the level of violence has reduced dramatically. The change was not just the result of increased troop numbers — though that was essential — but General Petraeus's recognition that the problems in Iraq required political deals, engaging with Shia militia and Sunni insurgents. Iraq could still easily revert to violence but the improvements effected by the General are a sound foundation for the future.

A while ago I mentioned locally produced guides I'd come across written by parents about their own areas. They included the Titch Hikers' Guide To Bristol And The West Country and Stepping Out - An Under Fives' Guide To Oldham; they were goldmines, with information from where to find farm animals to stroke, to music venues suitable for teenagers.
But as soon as I'd mentioned them, more parents wrote in about other guides they'd published themselves. Now I have a huge pile, even reaching abroad to Le Curieux - Monaco-French Riviera for Families, written by an English mum, married to a French man, who lives in Nice ( lecurieux.mc).
This wealth of information underlined something I'm reminded of each time I write this column and receive your responses; parents have the best advice for other parents. No one knows better how to answer a query like Jamie Gill's - where are the best places to stay with his kids in northern India - than another family who's already done exactly the same thing.
Until now, I've been fielding the queries myself, and putting the parent who's told me about their recent trip to the Louvre in touch with the parent who's asked me for a hotel in Paris with baby-listening, hoping to make a good match. But it's a bit of a cumbersome process, with me playing a not very useful pig-in-the-middle. So I've launched a Travelling with Kids forum on my website - deabirkett.com - where families can exchange tips, experiences and queries directly with each other.
I've also put all the details of the different local parents' guides on the site. I'll keep the list updated as you send in further details of your publications. That way, I'll still have a job to do.
Please send tips for sharing through deabirkett.com

Police Chief Bill Blair has won backing for his view of 911 calls made by Mayor Rob Ford after he was confronted by a TV comedian.
On Friday, Chief Blair released a letter from Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Chris Lewis, who reviewed the calls Mr. Ford made last fall.
"I have reviewed the three Toronto Police Service recordings you provided," Commissioner Lewis said in his letter to Chief Blair.
"I can confirm that the statement you made in a public release on Oct. 28, 2011, is an accurate interpretation of the content of the tapes."
Commissioner Lewis's review, at Chief Blair's request, follows complaints to the CBC about its report of Mr. Ford's calls in which the broadcaster said he used profanities and harangued the dispatcher.
In its report, CBC cited multiple anonymous sources as claiming Mr. Ford said, "Don't you (expletive) know? I'm Rob (expletive) Ford, the mayor of this city!"
Mr. Ford later acknowledged using the "F-word," but denied using any insulting names against 911 dispatchers or describing himself as CBC said he did.
In response to the report, Chief Blair said he listened to the tapes, and sided with the mayor, saying Mr. Ford had not described himself "as the original account claimed."
He also accused the CBC of "misrepresenting" the calls.
In response to complaints about the reports, CBC Ombudsman Kirk LaPointe said earlier this month he could not accept Chief Blair's statement in the absence of hearing the 911 tapes, which have not been released.
"The chief was not a disinterested party," Mr. LaPointe wrote, noting the police service's budget is set through negotiations headed by the mayor.
A police spokesman called Mr. LaPointe's assertion that Chief Blair's account was not reliable "offensive."
The incident, which garnered national attention and made Mr. Ford the butt of social-media derision, began the morning of Oct. 24 when comedian Mary Walsh, of CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, surprised him in the driveway of his west-end home.
Mr. Ford said he called 911 out of concern for his safety and that of his family.
He did apologize for "inappropriately" expressing his frustration with the delay in police response to the call.
Mr. Ford, who has refused permission to allow the tapes to be released, recently refused to discuss the matter any further.

Is there anything more loathsome, more indicative of the rife idiot stupidity of the Internet than the LOLCats meme? The endless repetition of the exact same joke (photograph of surprised cat + implausible misspelling) done over and over and over again. Have you ever opened Photoshop, inserted a picture of your cat and then superimposed a sentence beginning with "O HAI" in a bold white Impact font? Congratulations. You are a lowest common denominator idiot and, quite frankly, you're lucky Stalin ruined that whole gulag idea for everyone.

Risk Regulation in Europe

pdf eBook
Sofort lieferbar (Download)
November 2012
BeschreibungThe publication aims to familiarize students of public policy with the precautionary principle, which plays a vital role in the European Union's approach toward regulating risks. The precautionary principle contends that policy makers should refrain from actions having a suspected risk of causing harm to the public and/or the environment. However, the precautionary principle only provides guidance to policy makers but does not prescribe specific policy responses. Therefore, there should be variation in the way the principle is applied. Furthermore, precautionary measures are, in principle, of a provisional nature, suggesting that they are likely to be subject to changes over time. This book is thus interested in shedding light on how the precautionary principle is put into practice and to what extent precautionary measures become modified. Empirically, it focuses on how the EU has regulated the use of growth hormones in meat production, the cultivation of genetically modified corn and the use of Stevia-based sweeteners in foods and beverages. The main theoretical argument advanced by this study is that the way in which the original regulatory standards were formulated affects whether and how they are changed. By placing particular emphasis on the relevance of scientific evidence for the (re-)definition of precautionary measures, the book is expected to appeal to both academics and practitioners.

USD/JPY: Ichimoku analysis (Mar. 21)
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
Daily. After a short consolidation above the 101.00 mark the pair recovered into the 102.50 area this week. However, bulls faced resistance at the lower Ichimoku boarder. Tenkan and Kijun lines formed a dead cross (С). The bearish Cloud is expected to widen. If the prices fix below the Tenkan and Kijun lines, the bearish trend will continue.
Chart. Daily USD/JPY
H4. Dollar rebounded to the upper Ichimoku boarder, but Senkou Span B limited the bullish attack. The bulls, therefore, may leave the market in the nearest future, pulling the pair down into the 101.60 area. If they survive, the next target will be seen at 103.10.

US DOT Accuses Georgia Bus Company Of 'Reincarnation,' Orders It Off The Road
(New York, NY - WNYC) The U.S. Department of Transportation says it has caught a long-distance bus company operating illegally after being shut down for safety violations. Regulators say Georgia-based JCT Motor Coach, previously taken out of service after two egregiously failed inspections, has resumed operation as JT's Travel & Charter.
The department declared the carrier "an imminent hazard to public safety" and ordered it to immediately cease its transportation services.
The practice is known in the industry as "reincarnation." A company can re-emerge from regulatory extinction simply by changing its name and address, repainting its fleet and hitting the street again.
U.S. DOT announced last week that it was investigating the Sky Express Bus Company for possibly reincarnating as a carrier called 108 Bus, even though regulators put it out of service on May 31, the day one of its buses crashed on I-95 in Virginia, killing four people and injuring more than 50 others. A spokesperson for Sky Express denied that it had taken a different name and continued to operate.
JCT Motorcoach had an exceptionally bad safety record, according to U.S. DOT, which listed some of the company's violations: "falsifying vehicle maintenance records, failing to ensure its vehicles were regularly inspected, repaired and maintained, using drivers with positive drug and alcohol testing results, using medically unqualified drivers and failing to comply with federal hours-of-service requirements for drivers."
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a department of U.S. DOT, is charged with enforcing bus safety. An administration official said inspectors pulled over a JCT Motorcoach bus last year and found so many maintenance problems that inspectors followed up with a visit to the business. That second inspection revealed a host of other problems. The carrier was then placed out of service.
A call to JCT Motorcoach late Thursday was answered by a woman who gave her name as Ala. She said she didn't work for the company "but I spend a lot of time around it." Asked about the U.S. DOT charges against JCT Motorcoach, she said, "Nobody's doing anything illegal."

Miami-area makes headlines with HSUS's first class-action lawsuit against a puppy mill purveyor
I've written about this so often it's getting downright embarrassing. But this issue is so gloriously fraught with emotional material—for thousands of ill-bred pups, for their defrauded and distraught owners and for the vets that see more fallout from their sale than most anyone else. Unfortunately, I'll not stop writing about it anytime soon—not so long as it keeps happening.
The Miami area is ranked number two by the HSUS (on a list of 25 major metropolitan areas) for its number of "puppy-in-the-window" purveyors. It's a dubious distinction, at best, and, IMHO, points to the ignorance in the local market when it comes to purchasing pets. Everyone else in the US seems to know better—that pet retailers aren't your best bet for a sound pup from a reputable source. Yet even my well-educated clients are often duped by online sales from "breeders" or taken in by plaintive-looking pups in store windows.
Part of it is that we have so many retailers down here. The warm weather does wonders for year-round breeding and the constant backyard-bred supply of pups [offered often, but by no means exclusively] from a culturally-distinct breed of supplier.
Let's be honest, the average Latin-American experience with pets is far different from our own (I'm a Spanish-speaking Cuban-American so I think I get more of a pass on that statement). Consequently, Miami is replete with people who see pets more as commodities and showpieces than as family-members. It's a challenge for vets here, as you might imagine.
Still, there's a seemingly endless stream of vets willing to support this industry. Health certificates are a dime a dozen and the lifeblood of many a vet's practice. Even "fancy" vets with high-end clients partake in this behavior. One well-know chain of high-priced practices supplies an overwhelming percentage of the health certificates granted to places like the Wizard of Claws, the HSUS's target of a class-action lawsuit against a puppy mill-supplied retailer.
The first of its kind in the HSUS's 53 years (for its class-action status) but by no means the first lawsuit leveled against a puppy mill-maintained producer, this legal action seeks to effectively close down the establishment in question. And it's not even Miami-area owners that are most affected. This outlet boasts online sales in the thousands every year. In fact, that's now their primary source of income, to the tune of fancy digs festooned with hardwood appointments and leather furnishings. They know how to turn a buck with a prospective purchaser's search for quality in mind.
High-priced accoutrements notwithstanding, this retailer understands the economics of this pet-sale game. Buy low, sell high, is the mantra. Source your breeders for the price they'll accept and base your decisions on the obviously bright-eyed pups that come into your field of vision. Send back the rest.
Never mind that even the visibly robust carry genetic traits most owners would rather do without—hip dysplasia, luxating patellas, liver shunts, hypoplastic tracheas, immonodeficiencies and other genetic niceties (not to mention the diseases they pick up while in-house and which get explained away at the time of sale).
It's a travesty—and a de rigeur occurrence by design. It seems obvious that lawsuits of this variety might be the wave of the future for ending such practices and killing the business of raising pets for these kinds of profits.
I'd never begrudge the serious, respectable, health-driven breeder his due, financial or otherwise, but this is not exactly who we're talking about, is it? Making money on well-bred pets is not the problem. Raising pets in agricultural conditions with little of the oversight our food-producers require is what I react to.
When it has to come down to legal means based on commercial principles alone (fraud versus animal cruelty, as in this situation), that's when we know there are other measures needed, which should be legally mandated, to protect our pets.

Matthew J. Trafford: Use the news
The author of The Divinity Gene on why—even if you're writing about an alternate universe—you should still look at a newspaper every once in a while.
"Most of us encounter the news every day, whether it's through television, radio, newsprint, or online. If you're ever stuck for a writing idea, the daily headlines can be a great source of inspiration: typos, ambiguous grammar, and the juxtaposition of articles and photos can often yield hilarious and unexpected results. Keep a notebook with you to jot down these gems when you encounter them. Beyond that, there are scientific advances every day that seem like they are already out of the pages of a speculative fiction novel—use them! Exaggerate them to the next logical step—or several illogical steps beyond where things already are. Remember, in both news and fiction it is the human stories of tragedy and triumph that engage readers the most. Let the real stories inspire you and then spin them into fiction."
Matthew J. Trafford's fiction has appeared in The Malahat Review and Matrix and has been anthologized in I.V. Lounge Nights and Darwin's Bastards: Astounding Tales from Tomorrow. He has won the Far Horizons Award for Short Fiction and an honourable mention at the National Magazine Awards and has twice been shortlisted for the CBC Literary Prize. He lives in Toronto, where he works with Deaf college students and performs long-form improv with his brother in their two-person troupe, The Bromos.

I woke up screaming. Ever since I'd re-entered Mazany's world, I'd been overcome with pain and loss. Someone had been hurting Nature. Being closer to Nature and the Elements than anyone else meant I could feel their pain as they died. Even in sleep I could feel it. That was why I'd woken up screaming my head off. Someone had killed a tree sprite as I slept.
I staggered to my feet. I was sweating so badly and simply had to wash before putting on clean clothes.
I quickly grabbed some of the bread I'd brought with me and ate it as I jumped from the treehouse I hadn't used in twelve months. I headed, well stumbled, towards a river I knew was nearby.
I was about to step into the water when I saw my reflection. Oh Nature! Was that really me? I was so horrified because I didn't have the innocent, lively face of a Pixie anymore; instead I was gaunt, sunken and shockingly pale. I had bad bruising around my eyes. My hair was lank and my eyes had no sparkle to them. My mouth was set into a straight line, it had been too long since I laughed or smiled and now I had forgotten how. My skin was permanently cold. This was what the final payment had done to me; it was so awful I barely recognized myself.
I gritted my teeth and refused to look at myself in the water any longer. I washed and freshened up as well as washing my hair to give it some life. When I next saw myself I thought I looked better but then I sighed. Who was I kidding? Even clean and with lively, spiky hair again I still looked dead and unrecognizable.
I pulled on my change of clothes while calling up the Element Air to dry my old ones. I'd learned not to wear skirts when at any moment you could be ambushed and forced to fight so I had green combats and a brown t-shirt.
I was yawning as I trudged through the trees only to freeze when I spotted the morning sun glimmering on light blue hair. She seemed to feel my gaze and looked straight at me with horror on her own face. However, it was a second before she actually realized who I was.
"Zuri," I heard her breathe. I glared at her for a moment and muttered a single ugly word before spinning around and running off. It was her fault I was like this. What really annoyed me was the fact she wasn't horrified at what she'd done to me but horrified that I might have caught her at something. I wasn't going back to find out because I refused to be within ten feet of her but I did skid to a halt and turn back to her. She'd thought I'd gone and turned back to whatever she was doing.
"All Elements, please come to me I need you," I said under my breath. I created a glowing ball of all the Elements, and knew my eyes were flashing with the different colours. I aimed it carefully before flinging it away from me towards her. The impact was brilliant. It lifted Father's daughter right off her feet into the air. She screeched and crashed into a jagged rock. Blood gushed from her head.
"Just a little thank you for what you did to me," I called sweetly, my voice faint from disuse, before whizzing off.

text: First Combination of ClearPoint ® Neuro Intervention System within VISIUS ® Surgical Theatre to Achieve Real-Time MRI-Guided Delivery of Investigational Gene Therapy Drug Toca 511 Highlights Collaboration among Three High-Tech Healthcare Companies to Deliver Novel Therapy IRVINE, CA, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - MRI Interventions, Inc. (OTCQB:MRIC) and IMRIS Inc. (NASDAQ: IMRS; TSX: IM) ("IMRIS") today announced that a surgical team at a leading U.S. neuroscience institution has delivered the investigational gene therapy drug Toca 511 directly into a glioblastoma brain tumor using real-time intraoperative MRI (iMRI) guidance within an IMRIS VISIUS ® Surgical Theatre. MRI Interventions' ClearPoint ® Neuro Intervention System served as the navigation platform and the ClearPoint SmartFlow ® large-bore cannula as the vehicle for delivery of the therapeutic agent. The procedure performed in early May marks the first convergence of these technologies - Toca 511, the VISIUS Surgical Theatre, and the ClearPoint System - in a unique collaboration allowing surgeons to visually monitor and confirm delivery of the desired amount of the potentially cancer-fighting drug precisely to the target location in the patient's brain within a state-of-the-art operating room designed for patient safety and efficiency. VISIUS Surgical Theatres feature a high-field iMRI that travels on-demand between two operating rooms on ceiling rails for diagnostic and surgical usage. The multi-disciplinary suite provides truly intraoperative imaging as it does not require the patient to be moved from the OR table for scanning during surgery, so optimal positioning for neurosurgery is not compromised and typical clinical workflow is not impacted. The ClearPoint System is the only navigation platform designed to permit real-time, direct visualization during minimally-invasive neurosurgical procedures by utilizing the powerful imaging capabilities of MRI. Surgeons use the ClearPoint System to plot a neurological target, plan the optimal trajectory to the target, and monitor the placement of surgical tools and devices in real time throughout the operation. The ClearPoint System then provides immediate visual confirmation of the results of a procedure.

London's street markets have been reborn with a passion, fuelling innovative gastronomy and providing all things delicious. So strong has been the appeal of new foodie, flea and farmers' markets that many are expanding and new ones are launching, waking up forgotten areas, shaking up retail parades, revitalising London neighbourhoods and recreating communities.
Small and friendly independent shops and street stalls that provide for everyday needs encourage people to stay local and help to promote village-like living and safer communities. All this colour is crucial for welcoming a home buyer.
It is happening everywhere, from Bloomsbury to Belgravia, Marylebone and Mayfair, South Kensington and the Square Mile, Knightsbridge and Notting Hill.
Developers and the aristocratic landlords of our great estates are working with council planners to create these important microzones with better streetscaping and pedestrian-friendly spaces.
Underneath the arches
In edgier parts of town, derelict railway arches are being transformed into trendy shopping hubs, with new homes alongside, as at Chatham Place in Hackney, where developer Manhattan Loft Corporation is building a new "fashion and lifestyle quarter".
The £100 million project will have retail space for local and international brands, a café, restaurant, design studios and a "stitching academy" that builds on the area's rag-trade roots, including local workshops for top brands Aquascutum and Pringle. Funky, light-filled buildings aim to "capture the creative energy of Hackney and give local residents a sense of pride in their built environment", says architect David Adjaye.
Chatham Place in Hackney is part of a £100 million project, part designed by architect David Adjaye
Penthouses at Textile Building, a factory conversion that is part of this emerging neighbourhood, will be released early next year. Call estate agent Currell on 020 3004 4975 for details.

Shoreditch village
Planners gave the green light recently to Shoreditch Village, an innovative scheme to be built below a refurbished railway viaduct. It will have a covered market with nine restaurants and cafés, loft-style offices, a hotel and apartments, and link into the Shoreditch Triangle cluster of design stores and showrooms. Call 01993 831092.
"It mends a broken part of the city by restoring lost connections across the neighbourhood and creating new public space enlivened by a mix of uses," says architect Jonathan Ellis-Miller.
Cheaper new homes are on offer close to the giant Westfield shopping malls at Shepherd's Bush and Stratford, and the new one being built in Croydon, while at the heart of a new 85-acre district known as Wembley City is the capital's first designer outlet with more than 80 shops, open seven days a week. Stadium Reach, a new residential scheme, has two-bedroom flats priced from £264,500. Call Network Living on 0844 809 9148.
Posh and shabby chic
With regeneration spreading inexorably across the capital, it seems every up-and-coming area and fashionable district has a market of some sort — posh ones as well as shabby chic.
London Farmers' Markets runs more than 20 certified markets, up from a handful five years ago, and says the number is steadily rising, with locations spanning Balham and Brixton, Parliament Hill, Parsons Green and Pimlico Road.
"Street markets are a tell-tale sign of gentrification and can really boost property values," says Iain Currie of Islington estate agent Thomson Currie. The firm has opened a new branch in Smithfield where there is a proposal to transform the old trade market halls into a new artisan food and retail quarter.
After revitalisation of Borough and Spitalfields markets, Smithfields is set to become an artisan food centre
"Years ago, there were only a few — Portobello, Covent Garden and Camden plus some rougher working-class street markets — but London is now more like Paris, where neighbourhoods have a distinct character and identity, with specialist markets that serve locals as well as tourists."
Some are spontaneous pop-ups — as at Maltby Street, Bermondsey — while others are revitalised ancient markets such as Borough, Spitalfields and Greenwich. Regeneration is spawning brand-new ones too, such as Hallsville Quarter, Canning Town, a 15-acre zone with a new town centre next to Custom House DLR, which will be a Crossrail station. Eddington Court, the first phase of 1,130 homes, has been unveiled. Prices from £275,000. Call Knight Frank on 020 7718 5202.
Luxury loves luxury
Savills reports a strong link between luxury shops and luxury property, with "concentric circles of value" rippling out from the heart of a select shopping area, with the inner rings, or streets, the more expensive.
London's most expensive properties are in the SW7 postcode, which extends from near Harrods in Knightsbridge to South Kensington. Next in the league table is the Mayfair pocket of W1 (Bond Street) followed by SW3 (King's Road) and W8 (around Kensington High Street).
£625,000: for a studio flat at Nova, near Buckingham Palace. Call 020 7024 3889
Victoria rules
Traditionally, Victoria and the adjoining Westminster parliamentary quarter have trailed other parts of SW1 because of the dearth of upmarket shops but property values are now soaring as the retail scene improves. As well as the new Cardinal Place precinct, Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Tom Ford have landed in the area. Nova, with 170 apartments and shops, replaces a cluster of drab concrete office blocks, forming a five-acre site near Buckingham Palace. Prices start at £625,000 for a studio. Call 020 7024 3889.
£1.7 million: apartments at 64 Seymour Street in 'Tyburnia'. Call 020 7182 2477
Hang out in Tyburnia
Portman Estate is focusing on "Tyburnia", a 110-acre enclave just north of Oxford Street. This reborn neighbourhood offers alfresco dining amid the boutiques and art galleries, above which are smart new apartments, including those at 64 Seymour Street. Prices from £1.7 million. Contact CBRE on 020 7182 2477.
Blooming Columbia Road
Delightful Columbia Road, a street of mainly Victorian shops and terraces that is transformed into an oasis of foliage and blooms with the famous flower market every Sunday, has caused ripples along Bethnal Green Road, towards cool Redchurch Street, lined with eateries, galleries and fashion boutiques. Property values here exceed £1,000 a square foot, which was unthinkable even a couple of years ago. Redchurch Lofts is a new scheme of nine apartments priced from £799,500. Call Fyfe McDade on 020 7613 4044.
Lordship Lane in East Dulwich is so hot that it is usurping Dulwich Village, its prosperous but unexciting neighbour. The lively thoroughfare is awash with new bars, gastropubs, restaurants, delis and organic food suppliers used by younger middle-class residents, mainly teachers and public-sector workers, actors and artisans priced out of similar hubs north and west of the river.
Borough is best
Similarly, Bermondsey Street, SE1, is giving Borough Market a run for its money as a fashionable hangout and place to live.
Buildings range from Georgian to modern, mainly small scale, and the street boasts a long-standing community of live-workers and artists.
White Cube gallery, a recent arrival, has upped the street's status. Behind the street frontages are deceptively big courtyards, where light-industrial premises are now being redeveloped into apartments and loft offices.
A park lining part of the street has been refurbished, including tennis courts, and in recent times, three fashion boutiques, a trendy hairdresser's and several noted bar-restaurants have opened. Six estate agents now compete for business.
Nearby Maltby Street used to be a slightly off-pitch commercial patch but is now a coveted cheaper address. Lassco, the architectural salvage firm, has a yard there and is collaborating with traders to present their wares, while L&Q is building a development of 154 apartments, a mix of private sale and shared ownership. Call 0844 406 9000.

How Comical
Ami woke to find her force fields gone, and Shade giving chase to the invisible thing. It was quite comical to watch. She smiled as she saw Jeremy, and a little way off, Selena, still unconscious. Jeremy was blushing, so Ami guessed she hadn't been out long, because she had kissed Jeremy's neck before passing out. She used her powers to lift Selena into the air, and lifted her into my room, and onto the bed. Ami closed the door, and ran back downstairs to see Jeremy going after a gray blur, barely visible. Ami closed her eyes. Fire ropes slithered through the air like snakes, and wrapped themselves round the invisible thing legs and arms. Shade beamed at her best it could, and Jeremy patted her on the back. Ami grinned.
She looked down,to see the ropes still tied, and the thing inside them trying to get free. Jeremy wrapped a single arm round Ami's shoulder, and stared down at the ropes. Ami smiled, and touched just above the ropes to feel skin and material. Ami pulled her prisoner over to the sofa, and put it on the sofa, so it was facing them. Ami, Shade and Jeremy sat together,staying close. They stared at the thing, and Ami had the strangest feeling like the thing was staring at her too.
