Hilarie Moore, AM, MBE, Community mainstay, 1906-2003
Hilarie Moore, who has died aged 96, turned her strong will and passionate concern for handicapped children into a lifetime association with The Northcott Society (formerly the NSW Society for Crippled Children). She spent 18 years on the board, was its first and only female president, and also served as president of its central council of auxiliaries.
Moore was a role model for many associated with Northcott and her ability to mix with governors and heads of state as easily as with the severely handicapped was unique and endearing. She led from the front and commanded respect and admiration from all.
Her term as president was not- able for two things. First, it was the beginning of the transition away from the schools, hospitals and sheltered workshops to non-institutionalised community support for the disabled. It was a time of great change, requiring a preparedness to move away from established ways of providing care and adopting new approaches.
Second, it was a time of celebration and coming out for the society. In her keynote address on its 50th anniversary in 1979, Moore acknowledged the efforts of those associated with the society and noted the greater community awareness of the needs of those with disabilities.
She was active in the broader disability field as director of the Australian Council for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, travelling locally and internationally as its representative and speaking on various aspects of care for the handicapped.
Born in Summer Hill, Moore became well acquainted with the cause of disabled children when her father, Charles Moore, a president of the Rotary Club of Sydney, became involved in the the NSW Society for Crippled Children. This contact ignited an interest in championing a cause that was to become a lifelong commitment.
Moore was born into a mixed religion marriage and a family striving to make their way in commerce, with the accompanying aspirations of a good home in Killara and the best education for the children.
She received most of her schooling at Abbotsleigh Girls School, then comprising about 250 students. Despite it being a leading Church of England school, her mother insisted she be brought up as a Catholic and so she had to straddle the extremes of the great North Shore religious divide.
On finishing her education at a convent in Moss Vale, she discussed a career with her father, but like many of his day and with a son to take over the family business, he considered it inappropriate for his daughter to work. Life was taken up with family, home and daughterly duties, socialising, amateur dramatics, sport and recreation.
After war broke out in 1939, she joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment of Pymble, a local area group designed to support the medical units of the armed forces. Members were required to conform to the armed forces discipline, drill and saluting, and to wear uniforms. Moore worked at Neringah Red Cross Home at Wahroonga, mostly cooking for convalescing troops. She became the assistant commandant, before retiring at the end of the war in 1945.
In 1944, she joined the North Shore Women's Auxiliary of the NSW Society for Crippled Children. The auxiliary was one of a number of suburban groups raising money to assist polio victims. The move marked the beginning of a remarkable and enduring commitment to the disability sector, spanning almost 60 years, ending as recently as March 28, at a function in the Hilarie Moore Room at the society's offices in Parramatta.
Her contribution to running the auxiliaries was recognised when she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1974.
When she retired as president of the society in 1980, after 18 years as a director, Moore returned to her North Shore auxiliary and remained active in its work for the rest of her life.
She also enjoyed her times on the golf course and around the bridge table, but her real love in later life was bowls. Her first foray into the sport was at Ku-ring-gai and, after Killara Bowling Club decided to admit women members, she joined that club in 1979.
In characteristic style, she threw herself into club activities, served as president from 1985 to 1987 and was made its patron in 1992.
Throughout all these activities she was a generous giver. Growing up in difficult economic times was less of a burden for her than for most, and she was always ready to offer help when asked or when she saw a need. In her later years she maintained her strong and determined spirit, her sense of humour and her enduring interest in Northcott. She always made an effort to exude vitality and interest in topical events. She accepted the restrictions of diminishing physical capabilities without complaint and always kept her positive mental attitude.
She never married.

According to multiple reports, starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco will sign a four-year, $49 million contract. When this deal is finalized, it will be the largest free agent contract in the organization's history. Minnesota had been rumored to be pushing hard for Nolasco and they were able to land their man.
The Twins didn't stop there as reports surfaced on Sunday night of the Twins agreeing to terms with Phil Hughes. Reports have Hughes signing a three-year, $24 million contract. Starting pitching was the Twins biggest offseason need and adding Hughes and Nolasco was a fast paced start.
As the old Twins campaign slogan stated, "Get to Know 'Em"
Ricky Nolasco- RHP
Last Season: 3.70 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 165 SO, 46 BB, 199.1 IP
Last 3 Seasons: 4.29 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 438 SO, 137 BB, 596.1 IP
His Story: Nolasco pitched his entire big league career in Marlins organization until a trade in the middle of last season sent him to the Dodgers. According to Baseball Reference's version of WAR, Nolasco was good for a 1.8 WAR in 2013, the second highest mark of his career. His best season by this metric was in 2008 when he pitched 212.1 innings with a 3.52 ERA. Since that season, he's averaged 192 innings a year with 161 strikeouts and 43 walks.
The Contract: In a market with pitchers like Ervin Santana and Matt Garza, Nolasco's signing was a big step for the Twins. This is a deal unlike any other in the history of the club because of the value and the fact the Twins haven't signed a free agent starter like this before. He can be in the middle of their rotation for the life of the deal as the club waits for younger organizational talent to mature. He won't be a Johan Santana but his career numbers are similar to Brad Radke and that's an improvement to next year's starting rotation.
Phil Hughes- RHP
Last Season: 5.19 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 121 SO, 42 BB, 145.1 IP
Last 3 Seasons: 4.85 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 333 SO, 115 BB, 411.2 IP
His Story: Hughes was supposed to be a budding prospect in the Yankees organization but things didn't work out that way. His fastball doesn't have a ton of movement and he keeps it high in the zone. At home run prone Yankee Stadium, this can be a recipe for disaster. According to Baseball Reference's WAR, he was worth a -0.7 WAR last year. His best season in relation to WAR was 2009 when he was worth 2.6 WAR and he pitched 86.0 innings with a 3.03 ERA. New York can be a tough pitching environment and a move to the Midwest could be good for Hughes.
The Contract: In my offseason blueprint, I had the Twins signing Hughes for two-years and $16 million. His actual contract will be for one more year and $24 million so around the same amount per year. It's tough to know where the Twins and Hughes will be at the end of this deal. Minnesota hopes to be contenders by 2015 or 2016 and Hughes might not be able to be in the rotation of a contending team. That being said, there can be some value in switching organizations and he is only 27-years old so fingers are crossed that he will be able to figure it out with the Twins.

Gas prices are going up across P.E.I.
Fears of a massive spike in gas prices across Prince Edward Island, like what was seen in other parts of Canada, is not expected to materialize on May 1.
However, gas prices will be going up, The Guardian has learned.
Gas, diesel and home heating oil will all increase by two cents per litre. That will push pump prices up to 141.9 to 143.1 cents per litre.
The Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, which regulates gas prices in Prince Edward Island, will make the new prices official on Thursday.
Gasbuddy.com, a website that tracks gas prices in Canada, said the average pump price is now 137.6 cents per litre and holding steady.
Last week, gas prices spiked across the country.
Toronto, Fredericton and Saint John all broke the 140.0 cents per litre barrier last week with Montreal gas prices hitting 151.5 cents per litre.
The next scheduled price adjustment on P.E.I. will be on May 15.

—> Visit Swift Mobile's Website
Swift Mobile 1.0 Unleashed
My first impression of Swift Mobile was, "Ok, how can I use this?" Over the course of a few weeks of demo, trial, and error on the application, I discovered the proper answers to this question. While those answers may vary depending on the user, here are my suggested uses for Swift Mobile:
- Checking incoming weather while you're out in the open or travelling
- Quickly looking up weather at the in-laws or other custom locations
- Getting the most basic current weather and conditions
- Submitting storm reports to Swift and/or the National Weather Service
- Get current conditions and warnings on the Today Screen Plugin
I Need Data!
My big and important usage of Swift Mobile came rather unexpected this past weekend when we were coming back from a Twins game in Kansas City. I got a call from my mom asking me if I was out chasing as there were reports of tornadoes in South Dakota. I was totally unaware of this and beings that we were travelling, it was imperative that I know if we were close to any danger. After getting off the phone, I was on Swift in minutes looking at the situation. It was EXACTLY what I needed, RIGHT when I needed it. If there had been tornado warnings in our path, I would have gotten us to pull over and seek shelter immediately. As we pulled into a rest stop later that night, I anticipated checking out the public information computers there. Ironically, the computer was down and not working at all. Yet another time I was so very thankful that I had Swift Mobile with me.
No More Thumbing
It may be easy to find the right weather websites on a computer, but with a mobile phone you're left thumbing in guesses in search engines to find the right site to show you the weather data. Swift Mobile delivers it all to a single platform and is direct data at your fingertips. With the GPS integration, I can know within a reasonable area where I am located. The application offers different layers including: satellite, radar, surface fronts, wind vectors, warnings and a few more. There are also more layers and backgrounds to be added in future versions.
Custom Locations
I can also add custom locations. Last fall, I learned the value of knowing what the weather is like for my family across the U.S. My aunt and her family lost their house to a tornado that was only severe warned at the time. The next radar scan would have shown that the situation was much more dangerous than thought. With custom locations, I can view the radar around each different family and see if they may be in danger. While Swift WX, a Windows application developed by the same company, would be a little bit more accurate and contain the perimeter alarms, I can at least look this up if I am out on the road and be able to call family to warn them. This tool can very well be a life-saver when you don't have any other means to get on the internet except with your phone.
Storm Reports
Perhaps the most wonderful and amazing feature of this software is the storm reporting tool. Not only does it upload these reports to the Swift servers, but it can actually relay this information directly to the National Weather Service. Emergency coordinators could have these in the field and be able to submit reports and even attach a picture of the severe feature they are looking at. Yet another instance where Swift Mobile can save lives! Last year, our softball league was on the fields when a parent called and informed us that a tornado warning just went out for a storm that was 15 minutes away. With Swift Mobile, I could have found out earlier that conditions were getting worse and that we needed to find shelter immediately. Some people ended up seeking shelter under a gazeebo - fortunately all that came was hail. There really are countless scenarios that could be run into where this tool could aid in making the safe decision.
Delta Feedback
Version 1.0 is not without its limitations (or minor bugs) - yet believe me when I say that it was the perfect tool I needed while we were coming back from K.C. My phone, a Treo 700wx, only has a 240 x 240 resolution which lends itself to problems when icons are too big. I have put in some requests with the developer of Swift Mobile and he is at this very moment working to solve those problems. I cannot say that I've ever met someone more open to receiving feedback about their work. He truly cares about providing a more quality product and is always patient when dealing with customers. Another great thing about the developer is that he actually is a weather enthusiast - so he really enjoys his own products and gets use out of them himself.
There is a cost associated with the application - $10.95 for a basic version and $13.95 for a premium version. I do think that with the storm reports, this is really a must for emergency managers and personnel needing to dole out equipment to those who maybe don't have their HAM license yet.
Demo Available
A free two week demo of is available through the Swift Mobile website!

I have a need to periodically tell all my validation machines to reboot to
PXE so I can re-imagine them with ImageX/WinPE to a new test run.
Problem is I can't find an easy way to utilize BCDedit or other tools (tried
making changes with Diskpart but that didn't go well
I'm trying to avoid having to set PXE as the primary boot option and then
turn PXE on or off in my infrastructure. I'm also trying to avoid coding
around it at the TFTP server.
Does anyone know how I can set the Vista Boot Loader to reboot to PXE from
the active OS?
Again the scenario is:
1) System is booted to Vista and running my automated tests
2) Automated Tests are complete and a new image is needed
3) My automation tells Vista to reboot to PXE
4) My imaging automation reimages the system
5) System reboots to the new install

Fairfax, which owns 2UE in Sydney and 3AW in Melbourne, said on Tuesday it "receives approaches from and has discussions with interested parties from time to time," but there had been no decision to merge with Macquarie Radio, which owns 2GB in Sydney.
A deal would create a combined AM network with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $32 million.
No advisers have been appointed and no agreement has been reached as regards any structure for the deal, such as whether the new entity would be listed or private.
It is understood Fairfax, publisher of The Australian Financial Review, would emerge with substantial shareholder and management control if a potential merger of its radio assets with John Singleton's Macquarie Radio came to fruition.
A deal would combine Fairfax stations such as Melbourne's top rated 3AW with Macquarie Radio's 2GB, the home of shock jocks

The present topped the Arthur Nielsen Media Exploration Scores in its sixth and ninth seasons and concluded among the many leading two annually from 1994 to 1998. The Seinfeld sequence was made by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, while using the latter starring being a fictionalized version of himself. Set in an condominium block on Big apple City's Higher West Aspect, the Seinfeld forged capabilities Jerry's pals and acquaintances, such as George Costanza, Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer.
The people who comprise a significant component of the Seinfeld forged are Jerry Seinfeld starring as himself, Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes, and Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer. Besides these, quite a few minimal people like Newman, starring Wayne Knight, Morty Seinfeld (originally portrayed by Phil Bruns, replaced by Barney Martin), Uncle Leo, portrayed by Ben Lesser, Frank Costanza, starring Jerry Stiller, Susan Ross by Heidi Swedberg and David Puddy, played by Patrick Warburton, between quite a few others also kind a vital component of the Seinfeld solid at the same time.

Cosmo Kramer is Jerry's eccentric and nonconformist neighbour who sometimes reveals a deep information with regards to the human head.

"Dominic Versace's father, Carmine, is a first cousin of the late Gianni Versace," he said. Carmine had emigrated to Australia from Calabria in 1950 and Dominic, Maria and their mother Lina followed in 1954.
"Carmine worked for Wynns in Coonawarra and Dominic grew into the wine-making business," he said.
The Versace empire jealously guards that same name.
In previous cases, it has chased down pretenders, such as United States-based Alfredo Versace, who also claimed to be a family member and sold watches, jeans and handbags under the name. He was forced to pay for violating the Versace trademark and ordered to remove all references to the name from the internet.
Versace last made headlines in Australia when it sued the Sydney private investigator Frank Monte over claims in his book and on websites that he worked for Gianni Versace before the designer's 1997 murder and knew of a mafia conspiracy surrounding his death.
At $50 a bottle, the South Australian Versace sangiovese also traded on its exclusivity and is now sold out. Mr Verdiglione said Versace Wines marketed its brand based on traditional Italian methods, organically produced with no chemicals or additives other than some copper sulphate spraying.
"We have no desire to ride on the Versace name whatsoever, or mislead the public," he said. "Our product sings its own song, the wine has to stack up on its own merits. We are registered under Australian law as a company, Versace Wines, because that is my brother-in-law's name."

SWOT Analysis
From the Paper:"The rental car industry in Europe is one of the globe's largest rental car markets. The overall European rental car industry grew by 4% as recently as 2004 and realized revenues in excess of $8 billion of which the German rental car market proved the largest of Europe's internal markets with more than $2 billion in total revenues for 2004 ("Rental"). Europe, because of its many internal markets that are well-defined by national borders, has many rental car industry competitors. Some of the most significant are Avis, Europcar, and Hertz which are also major international competitors in the industry (Lawrence C163). Yet, the complexion of the rental car industry in Europe is made more complex by the sheer number and variety of rental car competitors across the industry as a whole. In Germany alone, there were, at one time, more than 700 small rental car companies competing for a limited number of customers (Lawrence C-164)."

For the test echo 'hostname' | qsub are you getting stdout and stderror files back? (STDIN.e123456 looking things)? If you are, is there anything in them? Is the administrator getting an email about these jobs with any information in them? A seperate issue with python that I have run into is ensuring that the 'all set' python setup includes PYTHONPATH being set appropriately in the shell that torque opens, if you have installed extra packages. But any problems here should show up in a stack trace in the stderror file and can be diagnosed that way.

The general specs are 6 blades with two dual core AMD opterons, 16 gb ram, and a head node with a similar processor setup. Over the past week, we installed TORQUE (and Maui), however TORQUE seems to be having trouble running jobs. Running 'pbsnodes -a' reports correctly on the state of all nodes and if neither pbs_sched or Maui are running then qstat shows jobs labeled Q, as expected. However, when either pbs_sched or Maui are running, the jobs don't seem to be running properly. I tried submitting both the test phrase `echo "sleep 30" | qsub' and a script `qsub testjob' where testjob is a script containing `python myprogram.py'. All necessary python packages are installed too, so I know this isn't the problem (I've manually ran the python code on all nodes). The reason I suspect some form of TORQUE error is that this job also completes immediately, even tho it should take roughly 20 minutes to run. The tracejob output for one is here (both are basically the same though): 03/26/2007 17:25:17 S enqueuing into batch, state 1 hop 1 03/26/2007 17:25:17 S Job Queued at request of administrator at babbage, owner = administrator at babbage, job name = testjob.sh, queue = batch 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S Job Modified at request of root at babbage 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S Job Run at request of root at babbage 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S Job Modified at request of root at babbage 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S Exit_status=-1 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S Post job file processing error 03/26/2007 17:25:18 S dequeuing from batch, state COMPLETE Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The switch is more likely to be the bottleneck. Even if the NIC is
capable of full-duplex, there is no guarantee that it works well with
that switch. The first thing I would try is add a second NIC and split
the LAN and WAN subnets. You can probably get away with just a
turnaround cable on the WAN side if you don't have another hub or switch.

A Brief History of the Chinese Imperial Dog
Written by Karen Christensenã ofZhen Yi Chinese Imperial Dog
The ancestors of our Chinese Imperial Dog originated in the Imperial Palace Of China. The Chinese Imperial Dog was called Imperial, Hah-Pah, and the solid colored imperials were called Chin Ssu Ha-Pah in the Chinese Imperial Palace. In early English books they are called Imperial or "Pekinese Type" when they didn't know what to call them. The Imperial was always a separate dog from the Pekinese, Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso. They were being bred along side them in the very early days but they were not the same dog. The Shih Tzu came much later.2 The Shih Tzu Kou or Liondog, as the early Imperials were called, were bred in the likeness of the Buddhist perception of the lion because when Buddha came to earth from heaven he rode on a lion. Therefore, the Imperials were also believed to be holy or tribute dogs and were highly prized. When an Imperial became too large then it was put to death as it was highly undesirable. As you can see from this antique Chinese fan that the Imperial was a small dog indeed.1 In later years these larger Imperials were called a Shih Tzu. An old tapistry picturing an Imperial, Shih Tzu and a Pekinese was found recently dating to before the time of Christ. You can see the complete difference of the dogs in this tapestry. This puts to death a rumor that an Imperial is a Shih Tzu and that a Shih Tzu is a mix between a Llasa and a Pekinese. The Shih Tzu, Pekinese and Imperial have been completely separate breeds of dogs for more that 2000 years.
The early ancestors of the Imperial were given to the emperors of the Manchu dynasty of China as gifts of great honor and were only allowed to be owned by the emperors. In China the dogs became little temple dogs and were kept in the palace and carefully guarded and cared for by the court eunuchs. As the lion dogs were the property of the Royal family, they were not widely known outside the Imperial Palace and it is said that anyone unlawfully owning one was sentenced to death. However, it is thought that puppies, which did not meet the Dowager Empress's high standards, were secretly sold by the eunuchs to the nobility outside the palace. The Dowager Empress Tzu-Hsi was greatly interested in dogs and during her reign she was personally concerned with their breeding and welfare. They were bred to be loyal companions, bed warmers and would lie across the feet of the Emperor and Empress, as you would take care of court business to keep their feet warm. She would keep a few Imperials and Shih Tzu around her at all times. At one time it was the fashion for the dogs to be carried in their kimono sleeves.
After the death of the Dowager Empress in 1911, the breeding of the dogs was no longer important. The young Emperor and Empress were not interested in the dogs and some were given as gifts to noblewomen and men in England and the Netherlands.3 This is how the Imperial was introduced to the west. In 1938 an individual standard was set for the Shih Tzu. At the time the dog fanciers did not know what to do with the Imperials so they lumped them together in with the Shih Tzu. In the United States, fanciers obtained the first Shih Tzu in the late 1930's and they gained even more popularity in the 1960's with many imports coming from England and Europe.
Our Chinese Imperial Dogs went to the Netherlands and were kept pure bred and small.4 In the 1960's a small few breeders brought them to the United States. These breeders fought hard to get them recognized but in their ignorance the AKC would only classify our lovely Chinese Imperials as Shih Tzu.5 This is how many of the imperials became mixed with the Shih Tzu.
Now the dedicated breeders of the Chinese Imperial Dog are fighting just as hard to get them recognized again. These breeders myself included have been breeding the Shih Tzu out of our imperials so as to have again the purity of the Chinese Imperial. We have been quite successful so far.
The Chinese Imperial dog was first accepted as it's own breed separate from the Shih Tzu by the NCA as of March 2005 and by the CPR, UABR, and the NKC in 2006. The Chinese Imperial Dog is also internationally recognized by the IPDBA. A breed club has been formed to support this new breed and is dedicated to promoting and preserving this wonderful little dog.

|History Of The Shih Tzu
A Brief History of the Shih Tzu by JORIS Dogs of various sizes, shapes, and colors have been bred in China for centuries. Records substantiate the existence of short, square, under the table dogs from at least 1000 B.C. By piecing together historical facts and documented records, it is possible to some extent to follow the development in China of the breeding of dogs likely to be the ancestors of the present-day Shih Tzu.
The ancestry of the Shih Tzu is rather obscure, but it is probable that the breed is primarily of Tibetan origin. The history of the Tibetan Lion Dogs is interwoven with the tenets of Buddhism, which originated in India. The lion was closely associated with Buddhism, but the lion was not indigenous to China, so the Chinese and the Tibetan lamas bred their toy dogs to resemble lions. The Shih Tzu (whose name means lion) is reputed to have been the oldest and smallest variety of the Tibetan holy dogs and bears some similarity to other Tibetan breeds. For much of the long and illustrious history of China, the breeding of the small Lion Dog was a favorite pastime of succeeding imperial rulers.
Prior to A.D. 624, documents show that small dogs were exported from Malta, Turkey, Greece, and Persia as gifts to the ruling Chinese emperors. It is likely that the first small Tibetan Lion Dogs from which the Shih Tzu is probably descended came to China during the Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-62) as tributes from the Grand Lamas to the Chinese Imperial Court, and that the Chinese interbred these Tibetan dogs with the early western imports and with the Pug and the Pekingese.
The existence of the Shih Tzu as we know it today is owed to the Dowager Empress Cixi (T'zu Hsi), whose kennel of Pugs, Pekingese, and Shih Tzu was world renowned. Although she carefully supervised the kennel during her lifetime and attempted to keep the three imperial breeds separate, the actual breeding to produce the smaller variations of the ShihTzu was carried out by palace eunuchs who secretly crossed the breeds to reduce size and produce unusual and desirable markings. After her death in 1908, the kennels were dispersed and palace breeding became haphazard. Some breeding was still practiced by private individuals and specimens were exhibited, but the dogs were almost impossible to acquire. So far as is known, the breed became extinct in China after the Communist revolution.
Seven dogs and seven bitches comprise the gene pool of all existing Shih Tzu. These fourteen include the Pekingese dog used in an admitted cross in England in 1952--a cross which caused considerable trouble, as it was done by a newcomer to the breed and reported after the fact. The other foundation dogs included three Shih Tzu imported from China that became the foundation of the Taishan kennel of Lady Brownrigg in England and eight additional imports to England between 1933 and 1959. Three other Shih Tzu were imported into Norway from China in 1932 by Mrs. Henrick Kauffman, including a bitch that was the only Shih Tzu bred in the Imperial Palace to reach the Western world.
Returning military personnel brought some of the first Shih Tzu into the United States during the late 1940s and 1950s and began breeding programs. The unique beauty and outstanding temperament of this new breed quickly found favor with the fancy. From the first day of formal AKC recognition (Sept. 1, 1969), the Shih Tzu catapulted from a relatively unknown breed to one of the most glamorous and popular of all canine companions.
More History of Shih Tzu in Tibet and China goes back to the Han Dynasty. A good book to read history is written by Rev. Allan Easton. Ive hears of more history from an old friend that talks about little ones in decades before Dowager Empress Cixi (T'zu Hsi) days.
The Royal Family preferred the smaller Shih Tzus in the 8-10 pound range and they were so highly prized the dogs would be allowed to dine at the Emperors table.
During the Ming Dynasty the dogs were kept in vise-like gilded cages during in attempts to keep them small.
The Dowager Empress Cixi was known to carry a Shih Tzu in her sleeve. This could of not been done unless the Shih Tzu was very small.
The larger Shih Tzus were stationed throughout the palace as alert dogs. When one Shih Tzu heard anyone outside the palace walls they would bark and alert the guards of approaching enemies.
The larger Shih Tzus were given to the town peasants as gifts because standard size Shih Tzus was not wanted or preferred by the early royalty of Tibet.
The Tibetan peasants were poor and needed money so they would sell the Shih Tzus to visitors of China, but the Chinese people didn't want the Shih Tzu to exist outside of China so they feed them ground glass and they would die in the long voyages home.
If a breeder didn't attempt to deviate from " The Standard " we would not have all the wonderful types of dogs we have today.
New breeds are being created right now. To me that is great.

Canine Size
Why are small dogs small? Science thinks it knows
By LEE BOWMAN
Call it the "yappy" code.
An international team of scientists has identified a piece of dog DNA that seems to be the difference in the tall and the short when it comes to canine stature.
The genetic snippet regulates a particular gene. And the two are found together in all breeds of small dogs, but not in medium and large breeds -- except for rottweilers. More on them later.
The gene itself is found in all dogs -- all mammals, in fact -- and is crucial to pumping out hormonal growth signals from birth through adolescence. It appears likely that the same kind of genetic restriction also plays a role in limiting size in humans.
"Nearly all of what we learn from studying body structure, behavior and disease susceptibility in dogs helps us understand some aspect of human health and biology," said Elaine Ostrander, senior author of the study published today in the journal Science. She is also chief of cancer genetics at the National Human Genome Research Institute.
"By learning how genes control body size in dogs, we are apt to learn something about how skeletal body size is genetically programmed in humans," she added. "We also will increase our data set of genes likely to play a role in diseases such as cancer, in which regulation of cell growth has been lost."
The gene in question is called insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The genetic quirk, called a haplotype, is found in all small breeds, from Chihuahuas and to Yorkies and Pekinese.
"All dogs under 20 pounds have this, all of them. That's extraordinary," said Gordon Lark, a biologist at the University of Utah. Lark, with Utah colleague Kevin Chase, got the study rolling with a look at size variation among Portuguese water dogs, which can range in size from about 25 pounds to more than 75 pounds.
The researchers analyzed DNA samples and reviewed X-rays of more than 500 Portuguese to narrow the size regulator down to one stretch of code on dog chromosome 15.
Researchers from other universities and pet-industry labs in the United States and England joined in, bringing different tools. Ultimately, the analysis included more than 3,200 dogs from 143 breeds.
Dogs evolved from wolves roughly 15,000 years ago as humans domesticated them. Because the small-dog coding was found in small breeds that are only distantly related, and in different regions, the researchers figured the variant must be at least 12,000 years old.
"It's as ancient as all small dogs," Lark said. "Dogs are derived from wolves. Since this is found in all small dogs, it either got into dogs when they were first domesticated, or it was a small wolf that dogs descended from. The small-dog haplotype is not found in wolves today."
Of course, there's an exception to the rule.
Rottweilers, hardly lapdogs, also carry the sequence for smallness. The researchers said that obviously there are other genes involved in size when in comes to rottweilers, and probably other large breeds.
Lark and his colleagues figured that the genetic signal to make small dogs arose either because "a small wolf couldn't survive in nature, but it could survive in company with humans," or because early humans "wanted to domesticate a wolf, and they didn't want to adopt a big sucker" for reasons of safety, economy or crowded conditions in early walled settlements.
It may be simply that the "aww" factor tugged at prehistoric human hearts as much as it does today.
"Everybody treats their dogs like their babies, so it's not surprising they would select for tiny dogs," said Chase, the owner of two toy poodle/Maltese mix mutts. "Tiny dogs are not particularly functional. They don't hunt with you. They don't protect your house. They don't pull carts. They're just small and sweet."
And very often yappy, Chase concedes. "But 'yappy,' we didn't study."

Thereafter, we are likely to see a return to sunshine and showers, most frequent and heaviest in the northwest. Into the weekend and early next week, we may begin to see conditions becoming more settled across the UK, with high pressure building from the southwest, with a predominately north-westerly flow. Temperatures will generally be around normal to rather cool throughout.
Updated at: 1300 on Thu 27 Jul 2017
UK Outlook for Friday 11 Aug 2017 to Friday 25 Aug 2017:
There are increasing signals for high pressure to build during this period, which would allow for more settled conditions across the United Kingdom, with a predominately west to north-westerly flow becoming established. However, there will still be the risk of spells of rain or showers, mainly in the north, but overall a good deal of dry weather with some sunshine, especially in the south. Temperatures generally near normal by day, but potentially rather cool at night. By the middle of August signals become mixed, with low confidence. On balance though, we are most likely to see a northwest/southeast split in weather conditions across the United Kingdom, with some rain or showers in the northwest and drier conditions with some sunshine in the southeast.

Recently I finally saved the money to order myself a mechanical keyboard which I was very excited about and wanted the quickest and best service/delivery.
Through Google I found scan.co.uk and I must say that I found them to be one of the best companies I have ordered from. The main reasons are:
* Their quick service. I ordered my Quick Fire TK keyboard on Saturday morning thinking it would be here around Thursday/Friday next week but to my surprise I received an email informing me that my keyboard had been dispatched on Monday afternoon, and then received a text on Tuesday morning telling me that it would be delivered inbetween 12:02 and 13:02. I went down to where the parcels are delivered in my building at 13:00 and lo and behold the package was there all intact.
* The way scan.co.uk notifies their customers on all updates to do with the status of their package. I was constantly being notified that my order had been received/sent/delivered.
* How they send off their orders - it was well wrapped with no signs of damage to anything.
* I'm also always a person who has to judge the website as well. Scan.co.uk is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing.
I will be using their services again anytime I am in need of something they hold in stock. Fantastic service.

COUDERT Brothers has opened a Berlin office, moving Brussels-based Dr Karl Pilny out as resident partner.
Pilny moved into the offices of local firm Murawo & Hausler & Partners last Monday to concentrate on Couderts' industrial clients in the region.
The US firm has signed a "corporation agreement" with Murawo, known for its work in litigation, real estate, corporate and tax law, to co-handle cases on an ad hoc basis.
The office is also expected to provide the firm with greater access to Poland and the Baltic States, where a number of Coudert clients are already based.
Paris partner Jacques Buhart, who has handled plans for the office opening for the past two to three years, said the firm believes Berlin will become the leading city in Germany in coming years.
"We believe that in the long run Berlin will become the city in Germany, maybe not financially but for all other legal work.
"We can use Berlin as a springboard for Poland and the Baltic States, where we do not have offices or intend to have offices," said Buhart.
He said another Coudert lawyer was likely to join in Berlin before the close of 1995, and two or three additional practitioners would be brought in next year.

With leading backbenchers demanding a move to end selection as the price of their support for the education bill, Mr Blair predicts no major party leader will ever provoke a "war" with supporters of the 164 remaining grammar schools.
In an interview with Education Guardian, Mr Blair says his plans to allow all secondary schools to become independent trusts are essential if Labour is to retain the initiative on public services. He likens his critics to those who came out against the sale of council houses in the late 1970s and early 1980s - a Labour idea the Thatcher government adopted and then exploited at the polls. More than 90 Labour MPs have come out in opposition to his plan and, despite some movement after concessions announced last week, Mr Blair appears to still need Tory support to get the education bill through. In its 1997 election manifesto, Labour offered ballots of local parents to decide the future of grammar schools, which exist in more than a fifth of English local authorities. But the conditions for a ballot were so demanding that only one was attempted, in Ripon, north Yorkshire, which came out by 2-1 in favour of the status quo.
Opposition to the 11-plus remains one of the Labour party's sacred cows. The education secretary, Ruth Kelly, was heckled at a fringe meeting at the party's spring conference at the weekend for refusing to scrap it. But Mr Blair tells Education Guardian: "If you want to have the entire education debate dominated by a war, which is what it would be, over the 160 remaining grammar schools, well you can do that. I ask you, which party is saying that is a war they want?" He also defends faith schools, another subject which inflames many core supporters. Illustrating his impatience with the rate of improvement in secondary schools, Mr Blair argues: "It's a myth that all people outside the inner-city are happy with their schooling. There are schools in Co Durham [where his Sedgefield constituency is] getting certainly fewer than 40% five good GCSEs and I think one or two getting fewer than 30%. Would you want to send your kid to a school that gets you fewer than 30%?"
Mr Blair sidesteps questions about his authority in the event of a backbench revolt at the bill's second reading next month. "It's important to the Labour party to carry through the reforms of public service ... or the public will say, 'well, you guys can't make the change'. Which of course is what the Tories want."

While the vast majority of the Galaxy Tab S announcement focused on the new Super AMOLED displays, Samsung took a bit of time to highlight the My Library widget. The My Library widget is standard on all Google Android devices, and acts as your portal into everything Google Play, like Google Play Music, Newsstand, Books, and TV & Movies. As part of Samsung's "partnership" with Google Play (as stated in the press release) Samsung Galaxy Tab S customers will receive 90 days free of Google Play Music.
Of course, that's not to say it was all about Google Play content. Samsung also took time to talk about its Milk Music platform, though that was pitched as a way to discover new music. So, it came off more as a complement, rather than as a competitor to Google Play Music. And, Samsung had quite a bit of content to show off through its Papergarden magazine app, and various deals with companies like Marvel Comics and more.
