One in five puppies bought online or through social media die before they are six months old, according to new research commissioned to highlight Puppy Awareness Week.
Research by The Kennel Club (KC) has shown one in five puppies bought online or through social media die before they are six months old.
Research to support the KC's Puppy Awareness Week, which takes place from September 7 to September 14, shows as many as one in three people may have bought from a puppy farm after sourcing their puppy from the internet, social media, pet shops or newspaper ads – all outlets that are often used by puppy farmers.
This has increased from one in five last year.
The research also found that:
- One third of people who bought their puppy online, over social media or in pet shops failed to experience "overall good health".
- Almost one in five puppies bought via social media or the internet die before they reach six months.
- 12% of puppies bought online or on social media end up with serious health problems that require expensive ongoing veterinary treatment from a young age.
- 94% of puppies bought direct from a breeder were reported as having good overall health.
There is currently little regulation over dog breeders in the UK, so the KC said this led it to establish the KC Assured Breeder Scheme in 2004, which now has UKAS recognition, to ensure its members always followed responsible steps when breeding and selling puppies.
However, the research has revealed too many people are still going to unscrupulous breeders with:
- One third of people failing to see the puppy with its mum.
- More than half not seeing the breeding environment.
- 70% receive no contract of sale.
- 82% were not offered post-sales advice.
- 69% did not see any relevant health certificates for the puppy's parents, which indicate the likely health of the puppy.
KC secretary Caroline Kisko said: "More and more people are buying puppies from sources, such as the internet, which are often used by puppy farmers.
"While there is nothing wrong with initially finding a puppy online, it is essential to then see the breeder and ensure they are doing all of the right things.
"This research clearly shows too many people are failing to do this, and the consequences can be seen in the shocking number of puppies that are becoming sick or dying. We have an extremely serious consumer protection and puppy welfare crisis on our hands.
"We urge people to always buy a puppy from a member of the KC Assured Breeder Scheme, who are the only breeders in the country whose membership is based on their ability to show the health and welfare of their pups comes first and foremost."
The KC has launched an online video and has a "Find A Puppy" app, to show the dos and don'ts of buying a puppy. View the video at www.thekennelclub.org.uk/paw

Air Force Cross Miniature EIIR
The miniature Air Force Cross awarded to all ranks of the RN, RM, Army and RAF in recognition of exemplary gallantry in the air on non active operations. A silver bar ornamented by an eagle may be issued to AFC holders performing a further act of such gallantry which would have merited award of the AFC. Instituted in 1918, the Air Force Cross (AFC) was issued for acts of gallantry while flying on non active operations to warrant officers and officers of the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was later made available to equivalent ranks in the Royal Navy (RN) and Army for acts of gallantry in the air.
The equivalent award for the other ranks for acts of gallantry in the air on non active operations was the Air Force Medal (AFM), instituted at the same time as the AFC and which was also later made available to other ranks of the RN and Army.
Following the 1993 review, the AFM was discontinued and the AFC became available to all ranks of all services for exemplary gallantry in the air not in presence of the enemy. It is at the same level as the QueenÕs Gallantry Medal, which is awarded for the same degree of gallantry on land or at sea.

Moody's Investors Service sent shockwaves through the global banking system and sparked fury in the City yesterday as the ratings agency threatened to slash the credit scores of more than 100 banks in the wake of Europe's debt crisis.
The agency has put the ratings of 114 banks in Europe under review, as well as 17 investment banks. The move could hit 122 banks in total as nine of the investment banks are based in Europe.
All four of the UK's big banks – HSBC, Barclays and the state-backed Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds – face potential downgrades, affecting their ability to fund themselves in financial markets and potentially hampering an already weak recovery.
Michael Symonds, a bank analyst at Daiwa Capital Markets Europe, said: "The banks are getting it from all sides at the moment – the ratings are only going in one direction. All things being equal, a lower rating will make it more expensive for them to fund themselves and make funding sources scarcer as some bond funds can only hold bonds of a certain rating."
One senior banker said: "This is yet another example of the ratings agencies pandering to the populist mood rather than giving markets and investors anything which is informed, useful or timely."
Moody's assault on the banks came two days after it slashed sovereign ratings on a host of European nations, including putting Britain's AAA credit rating on negative outlook.
The ratings agency blamed "disrupted markets and a deteriorating, uncertain economic outlook" for its bank review but warned that in some countries – such Italy and Spain, whose banks are under the closest scrutiny – doubts over the creditworthiness of governments themselves exacerbated the risks.
Moody's added that investment banks in particular were facing headwinds such as "more fragile funding conditions, wider credit spreads, increased regulatory burdens and more difficult operating conditions", which would diminish long-term profits and growth prospects.
Morgan Stanley of the US and two Swiss banks, UBS and Credit Suisse, could be knocked three notches lower on Moody's creditworthiness scale. Goldman Sachs could be downgraded by two notches, the agency said. "Rapidly changing risk positions expose these firms to unexpected losses that can overwhelm the resources of even the largest, most diversified groups," it said.
In December the European Central Bank pumped nearly €500bn (£419bn) into the European financial system, easing the pressure on hundreds of strugglers that took up three-year loans. But the European Banking Authority has also called on the region's banks to bolster their finances by €115bn.
Despite the fury in the City over the cuts, Moody's managing director of European banks, Johannes Wassenberg, denied that the ratings agency was part of the problem, saying it was providing "transparency" to the market. "There is a lot of information assymetry out there between borrowers and lenders, and we are reducing that assymetry."

Have you ever wondered why seed catalogues use descriptions such as "dwarf habit" and "uniform plants", while omitting to mention how their vegetables taste? You would almost think that gardeners have been demanding these attributes: "We want to harvest identical-looking bean pods!" Are these really the qualities you value in your home-grown vegetables?
The sad truth is that most gardeners are actually being supplied with the leftovers from commercial growers. Farmers who grow on a large scale for supermarkets want plants with a small, neat, uniform habit so that they can machine harvest easily. They also want vegetables to mature all at the same time (catalogues may euphemistically call this "good for home freezing"). Huge resources go into breeding programmes that narrow vegetables' genetic ranges so their seeds throw up few surprises. This seed is then produced on a massive scale for commercial growers, but there is always plenty left over. This goes to the seed merchants, who then have the unenviable task of convincing us that we want what the farmers want.
It shouldn't be like this. Real, home-grown vegetables are not uniform. They are genetically diverse enough to throw up different shapes and to mature at different times. This is part of a plant's survival mechanism: there should be enough difference between its seedlings to allow a few to survive a new strain of disease or a freak bit of weather. But it is also good for us. It means that pests and diseases rarely wipe out a whole crop and that vegetables mature at a rate that allows them to be eaten fresh, a little at a time, rather than at a rate that suits a vast packing and shipping schedule. Above all, though, home-grown vegetables should taste great. Supermarkets are hardly renowned for their commitment to the tastiest vegetables, but few gardeners realise that they may be growing the same varieties they would otherwise be buying from Tesco or Asda. I have a friend who abandoned her allotment after harvesting her first crops. "All that trouble and they tasted exactly like the strawberries from the supermarket," she said.
All of this can be traced back to 1973, when the well-intentioned but devastating Seed (National List of Varieties) Act was introduced. To be legally sold, it proclaimed, every variety had to be tested and registered on a national list, at a cost of up to £2,000 a year to the seller. It was meant to stop unethical seedsmen passing off substandard varieties, but the effect was to wipe from the seed catalogues anything that sold in small quantities, including many heirloom varieties that had been handed down through generations of gardeners. The most popular gardeners' varieties did make it on to the list, but the dominance of farmed varieties escalated.
You'd think this combination of commercial pressures and clumsy legislation would have finished off the debate, but there is a happy ending to the story. Human nature being what it is, a canny solution was quickly seized upon. The Heritage Seed Library was the first response. It doesn't sell unregistered seed: it gives it away to members, who pay an annual subscription. More recently, organisations such as Vida Verde, Kokopelli, and Beans and Herbs have begun operating in a similar way. They are not museums; they constantly source and trial varieties from all over the world and some carry out their own breeding. Members also save their own seed to swap with other members, in a heartening return to traditional distribution methods. And so a dynamic, evolving and ever-growing library of gardeners' varieties is being maintained. Many have been brought back from the brink of extinction, and are now grown across the country. The wider the network, the safer the varieties are, and anyone with a tiny veg patch can join in.
You'll probably find that these vegetables don't travel particularly well in refrigerated lorries, are tricky to pack efficiently into boxes, and are hellish to harvest with a tractor attachment, but they'll adapt to your conditions, outwit pests and diseases and above all, taste lovely.

Lucy Faithfull, a woman of great strength and purpose of character, belied by her physical appearance and personal demeanour, was the most publicly distinguished of the remarkable group (mostly women) whose impact on child care is still felt. She was a practitioner, manager and, latterly, a politician rather than a theoretician.
She was appointed by Oxford Council in 1948 (where she served until 1974, the last four years as director of social services) as one of the first children's officers. The Children Act, which created this breed of public servant, was one of the high tides of child care - a complete reshaping of services, a national commitment to children's welfare that tuned in to the general post-war optimism. The day before her death Faithfull was planning how the Act's 50th birthday could be celebrated. It was also the day when mandatory children's services plans - local authority-wide, multi- disciplinary statements of intent - passed into law.
Lucy Faithfull was born in 1910 in South Africa to a nurse and an army officer, in straitened circumstances. Her unhappy boarding-school years convinced her that children need a parent or parent substitute for a satisfactory emotional development. She was six when her father was killed in the First World War and her mother returned to England with her two children.
Educated in Bournemouth and at the Sorbonne (she paid her way by working in a Paris nursery) and with a social sciences degree at Birmingham University, Faithfull was attracted to social work from the beginning. Reading Mrs Gaskell's North and South and seeing, as a child, appalling social conditions pointed the way. She worked as a club leader and sub-warden at the Birmingham Settlement, later training as a caseworker and joining the London County Council as a care committee organiser. Her wartime experiences as a regional welfare officer for the evacuee programme gave her a shaping insight into the deleterious effects of separation on children. She then had a spell as an inspector with the Home Office children's department.
Lucy Faithfull was a reluctant peer. She was not a Conservative Party member and her party allegiance was largely unknown until she went to the Lords. She received a telephone call from Margaret Thatcher, then Leader of the Opposition, to say that Thatcher wanted her to go to the Lords. She demurred. She was, she said firmly, neither suitable nor able enough. There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Margaret Thatcher said: "But don't you realise there are queues waiting to go into the House of Lords?" "But Mrs Thatcher," came the reply, "I'm not in the queue."
She was persuaded by her brother from what would have been a planned retirement of travel and bird-watching and, whatever might have been expected of the first (and only) social worker ever to sit on the Lords' benches, few could have imagined the outstanding, tireless and rebellious advocate that she became. Despite social services often being the poor relation, politically, to health and education and ministers and opposition spokespersons changing frequently, she was consistent and forceful. She fought for the third year for social work training. She helped create and chaired the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children, in which capacity she had a seminal influence on the Children Act of 1989.
Two years ago her revolt against the Government's plans for secure training centres for young offenders secured the amendment which allowed magistrates the choice of sending them there or to local authority secure care. She opposed benefit changes, the poll tax, the creation of the Social Fund, and the asylum seekers' bill. She took gleeful satisfaction that government whips affectionately but exasperatingly dubbed her "Lady Faithless". One of her contributions was to draw attention to the implications for families and children in Bills where their interests were not immediately apparent.
Faithfull was possessed of a seemingly dauntless, indestructible energy. "One problem we Conservatives have," she said, "is that we often only speak to ourselves." In the largest conferences, the smallest briefings, she was to be found talking, questioning, listening; she gathered information that led to "a word with the minister", a parliamentary question, a debate, support for (or opposition to) a Bill or a clause. She brought together individuals, she convened meetings. Frequently her barely decipherable handwritten letters were penned on train journeys. While she held many trusteeships, chairs and presidencies - Barnardo's, the Caldecott Community, the National Children's Bureau (which she helped found), the NSPCC - none was titular: she would work, behind the scenes with ministers, on the committee grind. Last year, she helped create, after much public opposition, the Faithfull Foundation, to work with sex offenders.
Lucy Faithfull was a person of great charm and affection; kind, generous and lovable. Her conversation was peppered with anecdotes. She had endearing eccentricities. She loved nothing better than to entertain young people at the House - be they youngsters in care or the children of her friends. She remained in close touch with eight or nine people who were once, as children, in the care of Oxford.
She possessed that rare characteristic, genuine humility, which showed in the ease of her personal relationships. Her Christian faith was quietly held but very deep. "I do not know where I would be without my religion. Life is a triangle - myself, my neighbour and God," she once said.

It is hardly surprising news that male Australian army personnel have been involved in unacceptable behaviour towards women. In the last 48 hours, photographs posted on the internet show special forces soldiers, some in uniform, entertaining topless female "escorts" on a Western Australian training base. Worse still was the news that yet another Australian Defence Force cadet officer appeared in a Canberra court charged with two separate "sexual intercourse without consent" assaults.
Understandably, the public response to these latest scurrilous episodes is indignation.
Australia has a proud military tradition, and thousands of our best citizens have died in every conflict since the Boer war. Fittingly, this year commemorations have commenced recognising the carnage that marked the great war. Australia, per head of population, suffered more military deaths in the first world war than any other country, except our neighbour New Zealand. Unfortunately, too often in the past this tradition was invoked to justify and safeguard behaviour that has no place in Australian society, let alone in the nation's military.
Successive governments, some with more conviction than others, implemented inquiry after inquiry. Bad behaviour, commonly prompted by the integration of women into the ranks, would briefly disappear, only to resurface because the underlying ADF culture was allowed to be dominated by a particular definition of hyper-masculinity and physicality.
This prospered because too many turned a blind eye to criminal behaviour rather than break a perverted code of military loyalty and silence. Those in authority remained mute lest any scandal impede their own career and future promotion prospects. Too many of the old guard privately condoned antediluvian beliefs concerning "boys will be boys" behaviour and white male solidarity. This resulted in a warped sense of loyalty and poor leadership, which allowed a culture of sexual abuse to thrive and resulted in an ADF out of touch with those it was supposed to represent.
The ADF needed to acknowledge it had a problem, and to purge itself of a stagnant culture which severely hampered progress and, perhaps of surprise to proponents of the status quo, operational effectiveness.
The turning point came with another scandal at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra. The 2011 "Skype affair" involved a very junior army cadet who filmed himself having consensual intercourse with a female air force cadet, and transmitting the video to equally immature cadets in another room.
The usual machinations ground into play, the cover-up, the wink, wink, nudge, nudge attitude again resulted in the victim being unsupported and further victimised. It was only when "Kate" took the issue to the media that a different response was demanded.
An outraged Labor minister for defence, Stephen Smith, took a pro-active stance. The "military old boy network" was outraged and demanded the minister apologise and withdraw his interference. Australians returned the outrage, particularly when it was discovered that the army cadet was allowed to remain at the Academy to pursue his studies, mainly because of his Rugby expertise, while "Kate" was hounded out.
This scandal was quickly followed by another. Up to 100 members of the Australian army were involved in an internet group which encouraged its members to "bed" as many women as they could; to film sex acts without the women's knowledge; and to circulate videos which had been invariably enhanced with derogatory comment and ratings on "how good a f…" the woman was. Sometimes the victims' names, addresses and phone numbers were included with challenges for other members of the most inappropriately named Jedi Council to engage in sex acts with them also. Those involved included middle-ranking officers and non-commissioned officers, the highest rank being a lieutenant colonel.
Subsequent inquiries were implemented which exposed long-term and ongoing systemic sexual abuse, harassment and discrimination within the ADF. The human wreckage of military service ranged back to the 1950s. Sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick found that one in four women within the ADF had been sexually harassed or worse. Chief of army, Lt Gen David Morrison, released a fierce YouTube diatribe, warning his personnel that if they could not appreciate the role of army women they should "get out" of the army.
In March this year, the then chief of the Defence Force, general David Hurley, announced:
I want the Australian Defence Force to be recognised as an employer of choice; a fair, just and inclusive organisation that sets the benchmark for other employers. Everyone at every level has an active role to play in living the Defence values and meeting this intent.
The minister immediately implemented the opening of combat positions to women. The outcry from the old guard was immediate but logical argument was lost in sentiment.
There are two parts to the women in combat question. The first is, "can they?" and the second is, "should they?"
Can women serve in combatant roles? Absolutely, they have and they do. Modern warfare is very different from the industrial wars of the first and second world wars. Now, there is little clear delineation between combat and non-combat. In Iraq and Afghanistan, improvised explosive devices kill everywhere, as do suicide bombers. The Coalition Forces suffered the deaths of close to 200 military women, though most were conducting combat support rather than in direct combat positions.
The UK does not permit women to directly take part in combat, but in May 2011 Lisa Head was killed on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Head was a member of a British bomb disposal team in Afghanistan. She had been blown off her feet already that day but continued to defuse more of the mines that were endangering a patrol of all male paratroopers. She made another mine safe but another was booby-trapped and exploded. Her commanding officer said: "It was an act of breathless bravery". There are many such examples. We must simply move through the "biology is destiny," argument, and treat defence professionals as just that.
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) has only one category closed by the direct combat clause – that of clearance diver. Women have served at sea in the RAN since 1992 and commanded warships; Australia has led the world in the deployment of women in submarines since 1998 (the US and UK have yet to fully accomplish this). Currently around 18.3% of the RAN is female.
In the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), only defence guard has been closed – 17% of the RAAF is female. Women RAAF crews have flown the massive C-17 Globemaster aircraft. A woman pilot was a member of the elite RAAF acrobatic team The Roulettes – could anyone pick which Pilatus PC-9/A was flown by a woman officer?
The Australian army, the size of the navy and air force combined, has always had a dominant position in Australian military culture, and unsurprisingly it is the army which has been the most resistant to change. The bulk of army careers have been closed to women – armour (cavalry), artillery, infantry, and special forces (SAS) – so only 11.4% of army personnel are women.
Women defence professionals make up 14.7% of the ADF, their numbers only increasing 1.3% in 16 years. Due to the physical demands for an Australian infantry soldier, there may only be a small cohort of women who can meet these standards – and no one is suggesting standards be diminished. Artillery is increasingly mechanised as is cavalry, so the cohort will be larger. SAS requirements and standards deter and eliminate a lot of male candidates, so this will be the hardest of all.
With the opening of the combat arms progress will be made, or at least we hope. The issue of women in combat has been bandied about for decades and superstitiously delayed. Progress has been hampered by too many changes of ministers for defence, ADF chiefs, and I believe most recently, by a change of government one which does not share the principles of the last. Women within the ADF will remain marginalised and abused until this occurs, until they are allowed to be seen as equals and until their numbers rise significantly. Progress has definitely been achieved in recent years, but there will sadly continue to be resistance and bad behaviour from the minority within who prefer that all-male units remained closed to women and gay men.
There is no place for military men like those outed recently – the time for rhetoric is over. Australians deserve the representative and professional ADF required to ensure our security and international commitments.

Lace: Water
On the deck was utter chaos men just in a disorganized fashion men falling tumbling or going over the side of the ship, Jevin jumped off saying something about Odael, men struggling I finally had enough.
"Stop first things is first tie your self to something like the mast so you won't go flying over the side second. Secure whatever needs to be secured while another group tries to rescue you the others or else we all will be lost!" I shout. They take the idea and soon everyone was now a little bit safer but there was still the poor people stuck in the ocean, the boat rolls and lightening flashes revealing a large rock ahead.
" We are going to be ship wrecked!" Everyone cries I head to the end of the ships doing my best not to slide over the surface to see if was anything I could do the bottom of the ship began to chip under its own weight against the rocks, I jump off the ship the ice cold water up to my knees. My feet planted securely on the ground I summon magic around my body increasing my strength hoping this will work, I try to push the boat out of collision course. At first I was sliding backwards until i come upon a secure hold halting further travel to the rocks. I grunt trying to ignore my quickly tiring body. I bend my knees hoping that I would have enough strength to push forwards, my body begins to shake the magic beginning to leave my body I push forwards with success but at the same time a point of the rock rips a good hole in the side of the ship. I collapse into the water breathing hard, I begin to float where ever the tides take me.
" Lace!" A voice says over the ocean my tired brain doesn't register as I continue floating among the swells of the waves.
"Lace help me out here! We need to get back on the ship!" It was Jevin.
" Ship?" I say tiredly.
"Wake up, and don't fall asleep you'll die!" I hear as a wave of water plunges me under, my body jolts alive adrenaline coursing through my veins. Struggling against the tons of water trying to keep me down I eventually surface again onto of a wave Jevin and Odael below. The ship fifty feet in there direction, I fall down with wave crashing down with Odael and Jevin who where now I under water I grab hold of something and yank them up Jevin gasping for air.
"The ship is slowing down." I comments
"That's because its gaining water. lets use the fact that they are slowed down to catch up." Jevin instructs trying to swim while keeping Odael above the water he look dead tired and warn down. I wanted to help but there nothing I could think of that would help, I was struggling to stay above the water. For what felt like forever we got slowly closer to the ship Jevin pace slowing I grab his shoulder his arms slowed I pull up ahead. Doing so I look into the water catching a dark silhouette of a rope. When another bolt of lightening lit up the storm ocean.
"Jevin." I say
"At this rate we aren't going to make it. We are going to need something extra."
"And that would be?" He said tired.
"I think there is a rope under water here but one of us is going to get and its pretty deep."
"What makes you think that?"
"I think I saw it. I will try to bring it up but gauging how much energy I have left I'm not sure if I will be able to pull myself back to the ship." I say. my arms felt like blocks of lead my feet hardly moving.
" Well just hold onto the rope and hope they drag us back on board." Jevin says.
" Alright lets just hope there is a rope." I say diving into the water the cold slowly constricting the muscles around my chest. It takes me twenty seconds to reach the bottom I tap the cold stone bottom trying to feel for the rope each second desperation eating away at me. A minute passes and I give up just waiting to drown when I feel the wet material of the rope. I grab it and pull up but a dead weight making it impossible I feel to guess what it is. It was a boot attached to a dead body. I had come so far but still failed the only way was to cut the body off but I left my sword and what ever else on the ship. I futility try to lift the dead body along with the rope getting only a few more feet till my limbs went dead, my vision blurred. I was out of air. That until I surfaced Jevin held a knife in his hands.
"You took forever you should have asked me for a knife?" He said.
" Sorry." I mumble just holding onto the rope.
"We aren;t done yet seems like there is some tension on this things we've got to try getting closer to the ship Jevin." Says breathing hard.
" Alright I will try."

Chapter 13
Hermione tip-toed into the dormitory as quietly as she possibly could. She sighed happily into her pillow, still smiling widely.
"Psst!" Ginny sat up excitedly. "Don't think you are getting off that easily, Hermione Granger!" she whispered, wrapping a blanket around herself and plopping down on Hermione's bed.
Hermione giggled quietly and blushed. "It was you, wasn't it? You were playing cupid!"
"Well, no. I helped."
Hermione suddenly looked very confused. "Who did you help? I was sure it was all you…"
Ginny shifted uncomfortably. "Forget what he says, I think you should know," she muttered.
"It was Ron's idea."
Hermione's mouth dropped open slightly. "He…"
"It's alright, Hermione. He wanted you to be happy, that's all. You have nothing to feel guilty about." Seeing Hermione opening her mouth to protest, Ginny placed her hand on Hermione's arm. "Really. He knew what he was doing when we planned this out."
Hermione searched her friend's eyes, and finally nodded.
"So?" Ginny asked eagerly. "Tell me!"
Hermione's smile returned as she willingly complied.
Hermione walked down to the Common Room. Just as she got to the end of the stairs, Fred jumped up from a sofa and kissed her on the cheek.
"Go for a walk with me?" he whispered softly in her ear.
Hermione blushed lightly. I could get used to this.
They stepped through the portrait hole and walked in silence for a while, stealing glances at each other when neither though the other was looking.
"Oh, to hell with it, Hermione," Fred threw his arms up exasperatedly before claiming her lips in a crushing, passionate kiss that took her breath away.
When he pulled away, Hermione's eyes stayed closed a moment longer.
"There," Fred said happily. "You've no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he declared quite proudly.
"Me too," Hermione smiled at Fred's surprised expression.
"Is that so? My my, I'm surprised at you Miss Granger," Fred said smugly.
"Really Fred, if that is so shocking, prepare yourself for many more surprises," Hermione said, slipping her hand into his.
"I think I can deal with a few more," Fred grinned before pulling her out the main door to the grounds.
Ron sat on the bleachers surrounding the Quidditch field, his elbows resting on him knees, and his head in his hands.
"Hey," Lavender Brown said quietly, sitting down beside him.
"Hey," Ron looked up.
"I know we haven't talked much before, but—" she faltered. "Well, I wanted you to know, I think it was really nice of you—what you did for Hermione I mean."
"It was the least I could do, after all of the crap I gave her all these years," Ron looked out into the field.
"No," Lavender said rather hurriedly, placing her hand on Ron's arm. "No—I think you could have done much less. It says a lot about you—that you would do that," she blushed bright red at her own words.
Ron finally turned to face her.
"Thanks," he looked intently at her. "It means a lot."
"So Fred," Hermione said with a twinkle in her eye. "What kept you from slapping Ron silly and saving the damsel in distress?"
"I swear I would have, if it hadn't been Ron. He is my brother though, and it was...a matter of principle," Fred gave a playful wink.
Hermione wrapped her arms around Fred's neck and whispered, "I'm lucky to have such a principled man." Fred leaned down and kissed her. It was a soft kiss, full of hope, full of promise.
The end!

Marcus Dixon, 18, was watching the news on television in his cell block at a Nevada state prison on Friday when the report came on that a Florida judge had sentenced 14-year-old Nathaniel Brazill to 28 years in prison without parole for killing his teacher. Nathaniel had committed a terrible crime and deserved to be punished, Mr. Dixon said in a telephone interview from the prison on Saturday.
But he added: ''It's messed up that he got all that time. He's a kid.'' Mr. Dixon was also 14 when he used his cousin's gun to kill a 16-year-old boy in the parking lot of a grocery store in Las Vegas. He was charged as an adult and sentenced to 40 years to life in an adult prison.
Several months ago, national attention was focused on another Floridian, Lionel Tate, 13, who was sentenced to life without parole for killing 6-year-old Tiffany Eunick. Lionel Tate and Nathaniel Brazill are just beginning their terms as Marcus Dixon and a generation of youthful offenders who were given long sentences in a nationwide crackdown on juvenile crime have come of age in prison.
In 1987, Barry Massey was 13 and in the sixth grade when he was charged as an adult with aggravated murder for joining a 15-year-old in robbing and killing a 41-year-old marina owner in Steilacoom, Wash. At 15 with no previous record, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Massey turned 28 last month at the state prison in Monroe, Wash. ''The years have passed by, and I've done nothing with my life,'' he said in an interview at the prison in April. ''I can't really do nothing. My whole life has been almost useless, worthless.''
Unlike Lionel Tate and Nathaniel Brazill, who are beginning their terms in juvenile facilities, Mr. Massey started among adult inmates.
In the early years, he was often locked into his cell 23 hours a day either for his own protection or as punishment.
Willie Daigle, an associate superintendent at Monroe, says he has watched Mr. Massey mature. ''He had a bad time when he first started,'' Mr. Daigle said. ''He was getting in a lot of fights. When you come in here, you've got to prove yourself. Eventually, he realized: 'This isn't getting me anywhere.' ''
Now, Mr. Daigle said, ''Over all, Barry is a good inmate.''
In recent years, Mr. Massey has organized Martin Luther King Days among the inmates, raised money for charity and counseled troubled teenagers who visit the prison. He earns $6.90 an hour in a prison metal factory. He sends money home to his mother, Dianne Massey, 45, who lives in Tacoma, Wash., and does maintenance work.
Shirley Lin Wang, 52, is the widow of the marina owner, Paul Wang.
She was left to raise their daughter, Elissa, who was then 11, and their son, Jonathan, who was 8. To support her family, she went to work full time at the marina.
Mrs. Wang still feels the same way about Barry Massey -- and Michael Harris, who was 15 at the time of the killing and was also sentenced to life without parole -- as she did 14 years ago. ''They're murderers,'' Mrs. Wang said. ''They should be given the death penalty.''
In Florida, a new law requires that youthful offenders punished as adults be segregated from older inmates until they turn 18. Things were different in 1979. That year, Eve Postell, a 13-year-old Miami housing project resident with a lengthy record, was sentenced to 114 years in prison for joining four older teenagers in burglarizing the home of Ralph Germano, 85, in Miami and beating him to death. She went directly to the maximum security women's prison in Broward County.
She was quickly initiated into sex, Ms. Postell recalled during a recent interview at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Lowell, Fla., where she is now serving time. And, she said, starting when she was still a teenager, ''I had officers who had affairs with me.''
It never occurred to her to report the officers, Ms. Postell said. She was flattered by the attention. ''We're human,'' she said. ''We're locked down.''
Deborah Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Corrections, said that officers who have sex with inmates are fired.
A woman whom Ms. Postell considers a mentor is Isabel Sipes, 48, who met Ms. Postell at the prison in Broward County when Ms. Postell was 18.
''She was very young, very pretty,'' said Ms. Sipes, who added that she was released from prison two years ago after serving 20 years on and off for burglary and grand theft. ''They raised her in there. They taught her to be manipulative. The authorities exploited her by having affairs with her. Eve played the game very well. She was very bad for a long time.''
Ms. Postell accumulated a thick disciplinary record, with write-ups for possession of weapons and drugs and for disobeying orders. Her record contributed to her failure to get parole. Her tentative release date is now 2021.
In the last several years, Ms. Postell's behavior has improved.
She had one write-up in 1998, for ''failure to comply,'' one in 2000, for ''being in an unauthorized area,'' and none so far this year. In 1991, when she had a data entry job, her supervisor wrote to the parole board on her behalf. The letter described Ms. Postell as a ''dedicated and conscientious employee.'' Parole examiners in recent years have also noted Ms. Postell's change in attitude.
Ms. Postell has earned certificates for taking computer and Bible study classes and has attended substance abuse support groups. She has a job making uniforms for correctional officers.
''I think about that man every day,'' she said, referring to Ralph Germano. ''We should never have gone to his house. That man didn't deserve to die.''
Marcus Dixon knows that his sentence reflects society's view that he is beyond redemption.
''People judge me by my time,'' he said during an interview at the Southern Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs, Nev., several weeks ago. ''There's not one person in America who wouldn't say, 'He's got 40 years, he's a terrible person.' ''
Mr. Dixon has done the math. ''I'm supposed to get out in 2,038,'' he said. ''I'll be 54 years old.''
He was sitting on the bottom bunk in his narrow cell at the new youthful offender unit at the state prison. On the top bunk, which was unoccupied at the time, he displayed a couple of dozen cards from his family.
Before his trial, Mr. Dixon turned down a plea agreement -- a sentence of 10 to 25 years -- despite the urging of his lawyer, Kristina M. Wildeveld.
''He said, 'Kristina, 10 years, that's over half my life,' '' Ms. Wildeveld said. '' 'I just want to go home.' ''
Mr. Dixon copes with boredom by indulging in his favorite pastime, pushing the buttons on a PlayStation the prison uses as an incentive for its youthful offenders. ''I feel like a teenager,'' he said.
He says he is trying to write a letter of apology to Winnie Crittenden, the grandmother of 16-year-old Daryl Crittenden, whom he killed. ''I don't feel right saying, 'I'm sorry for hurting someone,' '' he said. ''It ain't good enough. Anybody can write a letter. I want to really show I mean I'm sorry. She's an older lady. I'd like to help her, mow her lawn, pay her bills.''
Mrs. Crittenden, 65, a retired hospital secretary who lives in the South-Central section of Los Angeles, said that she, as well as Daryl's father, Daryl Crittenden Sr., have forgiven Marcus Dixon and his cousin Calvin, who was also sentenced to 40 years to life for the murder.
''I think they should have been charged as juveniles with the stiffest sentences,'' Mrs. Crittenden said. ''Everybody has said they're adults, but to me they're children. If they had any maturity at all, it wouldn't have happened.''Continue reading the main story

Ramo Rx: Tips to avoid falling as you age
Part of preventative maintenance includes strength training and balance training. Balance declines with again, and it's good to do everything you can to maintain it.
Make sure you watch where you are going to avoid trip hazards. Use a cane and force yourself to look down. Coming to terms with your age is the best way to avoid a serious problem.
Check your vision, which can deteriorate as you age. Your depth perception may also deteriorate. Check with your ophthalmologist or optometrist to make sure your vision is as good as it can be.PHOTO: Petr Novak, Wikipedia, Che
Check your medicine cabinet. People tend to metabolize drugs more slowly than when they're young. For example, sleeping pills will stay in your body longer. Certain medications will cause your blood pressure to fall when you stand. Medications taken for your blood pressure, medication taken for your prostate or diuretics can all cause what's called orthostatic hypotension.PHOTO: Calvero, Sponge, Wikipedia
Make your home safe. Get rid of throw rugs and make sure electrical cords are out of harm's way -- adequate lighting can also help.PHOTO: Magnus Manske, Flickr, Dainis Matisons, Wikipedia

Aircraft are much easier to operate remotely than land vehicles, by far. This is part of the distinction I was making. A terrorist aircraft packed with explosives? Of course that's plausible, it's basically just a poor man's cruise missile. Remote control boats seem like another very plausible threat.
A land vehicle is more of a stretch...it would be much more likely to be discovered and evaded or disabled before it could do a lot of damage. A robot is much more conspicuous driving around than a regular looking person. And, the history of combat-purposed land robots is much more spotty. Simply talking about remote controlled aircraft does not address the real question. Remote controlled aircraft are old technology, and well proven by GGs and BGs alike (aka, missiles, etc).
Picture a shopping mall.
On one hand, you have a guy walking in with a bomb under his coat and nobody is the wiser. He casually walks around the place until he finds the largest concentration of people and then hits the button.
In the second scenario, an armored robot with either a bomb or a gun on it is sent into the building on remote control. It is immediately obvious to everyone that, at the very least, there is something unusual going on. If a similar attack has occurred before, people will immediately realize the threat and attempt to flee. The robot will not have a chance to position itself for maximum impact...it will barely have a chance to get in the door before everyone is running terrified.

British Busybodies Ban 'Beach Body' Billboard
Protein World "triggered" feminists in the United Kingdom. Now they have launched their American ad blitz.(btw - could "blitz" be a triggering word to Jews? It comes from the Nazi warfare strategy called "blitzkrieg")
Not too many years ago no one would have thought anything about these ads. The use of beautiful models increases both men and, yes, female viewers.
But feminists are now "triggered" about the idea that some females are more attractive than others. You know, equality demands that a 400 pound 60 year old woman is just as attractive as an thin 20 year old. And the only reason we think otherwise is due to "social constructs". Yeah.....
What is interesting, is unlike other companies, Protein World has not groveled and begged for forgiveness to the feminist witch hunters. Quiet the contrary, they are openly mocking them.
I am sure the Social Justice Warriors are working overtime figuring out how to nip this in the bud. An open rebellion might encourage others to stray off the plantation.

NASA Replacing American Flag
NASA is replacing the American flag on future spaces missions. But since NASA has embraced diversity, America is no longer capable of space travel. So all the talk of new space flags and female youth astronauts is just a form of role playing,
The old NASA that could get to the Moon looked like this:
The new role playing NASA looks like this:

Social Justice Warriors Kill World Of Warcraft
After 10 years I have unsubscribed from World of Warcraft. I won't explain the game play reasons, but the basic issue is that the new developers suck. My guess is that now Blizzard values "diversity" over competent game designers. And, yes, hiring the best qualified person is now considered to be a "micro aggression".
The creep of Social Justice Warriors into game design can be seen in the upcoming Blizzard game Overwatch. The usual suspects demanded that Blizzard remove attractive girls from the game.
Blizzard caved in and introduced a muscular bull dyke with pink hair.
Old School Video Game Girl
Feminist Approved
As Blizzard embraces Cultural Marxism the company continues to lose subscribers:

Lord Ramsay Triggers Tears and Tingles
The US Senator from Missouri, Clair McCaskill, was "triggered" by the TV series Game of Thrones. Ramsay Bolton, a fictional character on the show, raped his new wife. I am not exactly sure how this was rape, as the fictional wife agreed to the marriage. Yes means Yes!
Ramsay is a psychopathic character that previously castrated a man and sent his penis to the man's father. Curiously, this fictional act of sexual violence did not "trigger" the honorable senator.
A White Bad Boy
Daenerys Targaryen, a blonde Social Justice Warrior type of character, was also raped by her husband, Drago. However, Drago was a Genghis Khan clone. And rape by non-Whites does not seem to "trigger" modern feminists.
However, Ramsay is quite White, so this triggered the dear senator. White men that act badly scare feminists.
A vibrant rape
What is interesting is that these psycho characters tend to attract much desire from girls.

How can biker gangs become more inclusive?
The biker gang shootout in Waco, Texas illustrates a major problem. No, not violence. Something more serious.Diversity. There is a shocking lack of diversity in biker gangs. Where are the women gang members? Where are the transgender bikers? Why no gender fluid people? This looks like a bunch of cis White men with guns.
White Men Breaking Bad
What is interesting is how this biker look (which was originated in 1950s America) has gone worldwide.
The traditional biker look dates from a movie in 1953 - The Wild Ones. Now 60 years later, Russians are dressing like 1950s American bikers.
These are more likely to be real Cossacks.
But why the lack of women in these gangs? Anyone that watches Hollywood learns that the smallest woman could kick these guys' ass. Could it be the engine noise triggers them?

Interview with Robert Stark
I had some schedule (and weather) conflicts, so I was unable to do a video today. My next video will be on Monday. Until then, you can listen to an interview of me by Robert Stark;
Part of the reason I was unable to do a video is that I experienced a power outage this evening. A tornado knocked down some of the power lines. But the power is now restored.
Tornado weather is hard to describe unless you have experienced it. The air and the sky "feels" wrong.
The vid above is not really a RAMZPAUL video, so I think I will keep it unlisted. But it gives a sense of the creepy feel of a tornado passing.

Bahar Mustafa - A Love Video from a non-binary man
Bahar Mustafa (I LOVED THE LION KING!) is a diversity officer at Goldsmith's university. Bahar made the news because she excluded White people and Binary people from the diversity club. Because only White people can be racist!
I agree with Bahar. FUCK YOU BINARY PEOPLE! ONLY OCTAL people are allowed in our club! (RAMZPAUL running his programming geek game).
I guess Bahar is a BME woman. What the fuck is a BME? She sure the fuck does not look black. So the "B" must be for "butterface" woman. Which, based on this photo, yeah.
Here is Bahar fighting White Privilege and the Patriarchy! The dyed blonde hair and showing some leg is a nice touch.
Why is the black girl having to hold the microphone for the white lady????? Bahar is assuming the role of the master and the black girl is her slave.
WTF? Bahar has red hair in this video. IS SHE FUCKING WHITE? Same old story. Da White woman keeping the people of color down. #BAHARISWHITE
Hmmmm... why do Leftists always disable comments and ratings on their vids?

Dickonomics (response)
Some Tinder slut (her term, not mine) wrote an article complaining about dicks. Her catch phrase was "Dick is abundant and low value". She seemed surprised that this created a backlash. (The Internet is a cruel place for sensitive people.)
Alana seems confused about the nature of men and women. What she has "discovered" has been known by mankind for thousands of years. There is a reason women can sell their bodies to men and not the other way around. This reason is based in biology. Sexual differences have dictated that women, in general, are the choosier sex. The reason that Alana finds that dick is abundant is that most women are not up for random sex on Tinder. But most men are fine with it. This creates a supply and demand imbalance.
Of course, feminism teaches that men and women are exactly the same except for our sexual plumbing. People learn the hard way that nothing could be farther from the truth.

Amren 2015 - The Shy Nationalist
The 2015 Amren RAMZPAUL speech is now loaded. I encourage everyone to watch the speeches from this event.
I really love making videos and giving speeches. The adrenaline gets flowing and it is a "high" that I get from a performance. And I especially love meeting people that watch my videos. I am very grateful for all of your support.
However, I am actually quite introverted and shy by nature. I know this much seem like a paradox - I love public speaking but I am an introvert. But I have discovered over the years that many famous actors are also quite shy in person.
Susan Cain gave an interesting TED talk that explains introversion.
Below are a couple of clips in which Johnny Depp speaks about the subject.

Asking 100 Guys For Sex (Response)
A video went viral in which a young girl asked random men on the street for sex. I guess the surprise was that only 30% of the men were willing to accept the offer. I was surprised that the number was that high. You would have to be an absolute idiot to find such a thing believable.

12 Angry Men (People) - 2015 Version
I was on a jury for the past couple of days. The process was quite interesting. The trial involved a civil case in which a young hipster type guy (the defendant) rear ended the car of a 40 something woman (the plaintiff). The accident did not even dent the bumper, but she was suing for thousands of dollars for pain and suffering, etc.
What was interesting is the most of the female jurors were initially sympathetic to the plaintiff. And the men were more interested in the evidence and the rule of law.
A middle aged red headed lady seemed to be the vocal leader of the pro-plaintiff faction. I ended up being the de facto leader of the pro-defendant faction. Most of the other women seemed to be on the fence trying to determine the winning side. A pretty young girl on the pro-plaintiff side eventually broke ranks and joined our faction. Immediately, all the other women (except the red headed woman) joined our faction. The women who were sympathetic about the plaintiff were now joking about her bad hair.

McDonald's Embraces Diversity, Loses Revenue
A few years ago, McDonald's decided that its #1 goal was to pander to the black race. Why any corporation would want to pander to a specific race seems odd to me. After all, doesn't McDonald's also want White, Hispanic and Asian customers? Yet, the only race given such preferential treatment is people of African descent. McDonald's does not celebrate 365White or 365Jew (that would be racist!). But McDonald's has a special program to reach out to Blacks.
Yet, despite this out reach to "diversity", McDonald's has been losing revenue. Weird. I thought "diversity" was a winning strategy!

The fire burning since early Sunday morning on Burnaby Mountain has now been put out.
Deputy Fire Chief Chris Bowcock says firefighters will remain on scene for most of the night to make sure no more new fires start.
"It's the smoking little hot spots underneath the twigs and the ground and under the surface of the ground that continue to burn for some time unless we can get in there and do all the physical work to dig it up and apply water and dig it up and apply water."
Bowcock says before it was extinguished, the fire was contained to a 150 foot by 250 foot section.
"We're going to keep a strong presence on Burnaby Mountain with fire companies, our wildland resources and BC Coastal…just to maintain a heavy presence and a quick response in that area."
Smoke could be seen from Vancouver early Sunday morning as fire crews in Burnaby battled a blaze on a popular hiking trail on Burnaby Mountain.
Deputy Fire Chief Chris Bowcock says when crews arrived a little before 10:00 AM Sunday morning, the fire was much bigger than expected.
"We also have BC Coastal Wildfire resources on scene, with the tactical helicopter and ground crews. We've been on scene for two hours, we expect the fire operation to continue for at least another hour to two hours."
Chief Bowcock says the fire is mostly contained, but the parts of the park will remain closed for most of the day.
"Conditions are definitely serious in the area, I mean Metro Vancouver has forest areas around the mountains, and its close to home…so these are serious conditions."
It is too early to determine what caused the fire.

University of Michigan Ramps Up Connected Car Research
The University of Michigan is getting ready to invest heavily into connected car technology in the U.S.
The university's Board of Regents will be approving a new project that will help make the university one of the centers for the study of connected car technology in North America. According to Jim Sayer of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, the rapid development of connected vehicle technology and its benefits to improving transportation safety, driver accessibility, optimize mobility and reduce vehicle crashes is compelling.
SEE ALSO: There May Soon be 9,000 'Talking' Cars on Michigan Roads
The new Mobility Transportation Center will be located on the university's campus and will be supported by the university, the State of Michigan and several corporate backers with an interest in the technology. The objective of the project is to create a closed course on campus that will be easily accessible to students so that experiments in both connected vehicles and automated vehicles can be conducted.
The goal of the program is to cover the entire city of Ann Arbor, Mich. and include over 9,000 vehicles by 2016. Looking into the future, plans call for 2,000 highly automated vehicles to be put on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021.
Late last month, UMTRI announced its plan to continue its connected car research experiment, which began in the fall of 2012. That project was extended by NHTSA, it's main financial backer, for an additional six months. Most of the funding for the new project will come from corporate sponsors although Sayer says the U.S. Department of Transportation will continue funding the current project, which covers 73 miles of road in Ann Arbor and has 3,000 connected vehicles on the road gathering data.

Man shot at Renton gas station this morning
A man was shot at a Renton service station this morning and police are looking for the gunman.
Officers were called to the gas station in the 300 block of Rainier Avenue South just before 4 a.m. on a report of gunfire. When they arrived, they found the shooting victim, 29, on the ground. The man is believed to have been inside a black BMW parked at the gas station when he was shot and wounded in the chest and leg, according Renton police spokeswoman Terri Vickers.
The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center. His condition wasn't immediately available.
Police are searching for a gunman, but "we don't have much for a suspect description," Vickers said.
