Southwark Council has taken it upon itself to install 'lie detector tests' to help root out benefits cheats. The Council claim that the technology, which analyses phone calls for signs of stress in the speaker's voice, has helped catch 4,000 fraudsters over a four month period.
The voice analysis works by examining the pitch of the callers' voices when they are asked questions and if the system suspects that someone is telling a lie a beep sounds in the operator's ear. The operator has then been trained to ask questions which may uncover the truth. The Council has said that anyone who refuses to take part in the call will be visited for an assessment of their claim.
Despite Southwark Council's claims that the technology is working, the government and academics have voiced their concerns about its reliability. After a trail period in 2008, the Government decided that this technology doesn't work, and is barely any more reliable than flipping a coin. An academic study described the technology as being little better than astronomy at detecting fraud.
Considering that both the Government and Academics have ruled out the reliability of the technology it is clear that Southwark Council are wasting people's money on an illiberal and unproven technology without remorse and is a disgrace. The Council's approach to dealing with benefit cheats stinks of 'guilty until proven innocent' and perhaps it would be more useful to introduce more rigorous checks and testing before benefits are handed out.
This once again demonstrates how quickly councils will jump to ridiculous, dodgy technology to treat their residents as suspects who cannot be trusted. In the interests of equality I hope the same technology will be rolled out in council meetings and the public given access to the results.

Chronicles of a Pregnant Woman
8 Weeks:
2 comments:
LOL! good luck suckers. that phrase is so intensly funny. Iono if you have had your baby yet but just wait until your sitting up through out the night with a baby that screams the minute it touchs the crib but as long as your holding him/her they are perfectly content. and your sooooo annoyed and tired and exhausted and pissed off because your wonderful husband has work tomorrow, so his 'beauty sleep' is far more important than yours to come help. Your at the point were you think your literally going to jump off a bridge into traffic and then somehow you wake up at 8 in the morning. lying on the living room floor with a stinky little bundle curled up next to you. you have no idea how you fell asleep or how the baby managed to safely land on the floor next to you. but who cares because you got at least a few hours of precious sleep. and then your bundle of joy wakes up and smiles at you. and you forget everything that happened the night before. talk about frustrating. (i know my grammar is frustrating too) but just wait till something similar happens to you and you'll totally get my point.ReplyDelete
LOL You're so funny, Anya! Yes, I had the baby. She is 6 and a half months now, mashallah! I've had those nights...sigh....and I def. forgot how hard they actually were. LOL It's funny, because here I am up early on a Saturday because my daughter is up and my husband is sleeping because he was "working all week." LOL Even though we both know my job is much more difficult! BTW I love your daughter's name. It's beauitful mashallahReplyDelete

Andre Fischer from SAP published an interesting paper of how to integrate the Universal Worklist (UWL) into Microsoft Office SharePoint. The paper shows this integration with Office SharePoint Server 2007 but it will also work with Microsoft SharePoint 2010. You can find the paper at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/40dbb54f-5c28-2d10-ad94-f812a548dc07. The code of the Web Part Andre uses in his whitepaper is similar to the code we used for the BSP integration and the iView integration also described in whitepapers published at http://www.microsoft.com/isv/sap/technology/interop/sharepoint.aspx. I plan to publish the code on Codeplex in the next days; once it's done I will post a blog.

Uncertainties with respect to changes in extreme weather events
Need for robust adaptation governance
Adaptation options with different, even conflicting, outcomes
... Indicators of extreme events for evaluating adaptation options relevant to stakeholders and robust for modellers
To what extent do actors' perspectives correlate to actor characteristics, such as their affiliation with specific sectors, level of concern and knowledge?Research questions
The way to find out about this is through a research approach that focuses on identifying the underlying frames that shape social actors´ views and opinions rather than focusing on (volatile) opinions and preferences
Underlying frames that we use to make sense of our observations and experiences.
Personal construct theory with a focus on bipolar constructs
e.g. Wet vs. Dry
Safe for me vs. Dangerous for me
I can intervene vs. I cannot intervene
Constructs are both a result of one's experiences and examination of people and places, as well as they shape how individuals frame their world and experiences.
Affiliation with economic sectors
Level of information
Involvement in events and workshops
Level of concern
public health (6); crisis management (5); water sector (6)
Affected by extreme weather:
hospitality (6); recreation (9); transportation (5), Vulnerable individuals (4)

Are robust strategies, covering multiple perspectives, possible?
Perspectives are cross-sectoral: Sector-specific strategies may be too limiting
Hottest summer day in the year: 1oC to 3.8oC warmer
Long periods of precipitation in winter: 4% to 12% increase
Extreme storms in summer: 5% to 27% increase
No insight for changes in wind extremesHow do extremes change in the future?
KNMI'06 scenarios for 2050
We need to re-think the role and impact of events and workshops: participants use formal and elaborate perspectives, but they don't necessarily feel the need to prepare!
They may feel more prepared, but less concerned about extreme weather!

50 Years Of Going Beyond Trailer (2015)
"ICONS AND LEGENDS. RENEGADES AND DREAMERS. TURNING 50 NEVER FELT SO INSPIRING." 14 October 2015 33 mins
For the last five decades, Whistler Blackcomb has left its mark on those who are drawn to the mountains. What started as a single Olympic dream in 1966 has evolved into the largest ski resort in North America, with a slew of accomplishments and accolades to back it up. From the resort's adventure-seeking founders to its freestyle heydays—and breaking Guinness World Records along the way—snowsport industry legends recount the contributions that Whistler Blackcomb has made to skiing and snowboarding and the significance of its golden anniversary. But while 50 Years of Going Beyond solidifies the resort's legacy in the past, there's no denying that the last 50 years is just the beginning.

Curriculum Guides | Meet the Director | Current Season | Past Seasons | Apply for a Theatre Scholarship
Upcoming Production - "Curtains"
Auditions are open to everyone and will be held from 4-8 p.m. on December 5 and 6 and from 2-4 p.m. on December 10 in the Barton Fine Arts Auditorium. The show is set for March 9-11. Click here for audition files and visit the Current Season tab for more information.
Welcome to the Barton Theatre Department!
Actors, producers, and directors express ideas and create images in theater, film, radio, television, and other performing arts media. They interpret a writer's script to entertain, inform, or instruct an audience.
Theatre is beneficial for everyone. While not everyone who studies theatre desires to dedicate their lives to the art, the skills acquired while studying theatre can be advantageous to many areas of your personal and professional life.
- Oral Communication Skills - Acting onstage teaches you how to be comfortable speaking in front of large audiences. Working as part of a technical crew enhances your ability to communicate your ideas effectively to the team.
- Creative Problem Solving Abilities - Acting, directing, and technical theatre work is an excellent way to learn how to think on your feet, identify problems, evaluate a range of possible solutions, and problem solve using the tools available.
- Time-Management Skills - Theatre teaches you to use your time effectively. Juggling classes, rehearsal time and independent work forces the theatre student to organize her/his time in order to maximize productivity.
Call for Play Submissions - Original Playwright Series
Barton Theatre is soliciting for brief one-act plays to be considered for production on Apr 27, 2017 on the Great Bend campus. All playwrights need not be Barton students but must reside in the Barton service area (including Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth). The submitted plays must be original and never produced. Please see the presentation notes used in our Playwriting Workshop lead by local playwright Rob Munden.
Rules for submitted plays:
- 2-5 characters
- One set * - Barton theatre will design a simple interior set. Playwright can dress the stage (couches, chairs, etc) as they wish. All the action takes place on that one stationary set.
- To be performed in 20-30 minutes (equals approx. 20-30 pages)
- No profanity in dialogue
All submitted manuscripts must reach the Barton Theatre office by Feb. 15, 2017

A novel method for low-constrained iris boundary localization
Tipus de documentComunicació de congrés
Data publicació2012
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
Iris recognition systems are strongly dependent on their segmentation processes, which have traditionally assumed rigid experimental constraints to achieve good performance, but now move towards less constrained environments. This work presents a novel method on iris segmentation that covers the localization of the pupillary and limbic iris boundaries. The method consists of an energy minimization procedure posed as a multilabel one-directional graph, followed by a model fitting process and the use of physiological priors. Accurate segmentations are achieved even in the presence of lutter, lenses, glasses, motion blur,and variable illumination. The contributions of this paper are a fast and reliable method for the accurate localizationof the iris boundaries in low-constrained conditions, and a novel database for iris segmentation incorporating challenging iris images, which has been publicly released to the research community. The proposed method has been evaluated over three different databases, showing higher performance in comparison to traditional techniques.

Peres Has Diplomacy, and Partying, in Mind on London Trip
President meets British PM, and attends star-studded 80th birthday celebrations for former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
PARIS - President Shimon Peres is in London this week, meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron and addressing a high level forum on 60 years of British-Israeli diplomatic relations.
But the highlight of his trip was undoubtedly the mega 80th birthday party Wednesday night for his friend and former Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. There, Peres rubbed shoulders with Sharon Stone, hummed along to the sounds of Bryan Ferry and tapped his feet as the Bolshoi Ballet performed.
"Mazal Tov!" Peres said, addressesing the man he says he "feels privileged to simply call …Michael."
"There aren't many people in my lifetime, about whom I can say full-heartedly: here is a man who has changed history forever," the president said.
Stone and Kevin Spacey hosted the gala charity event concert, which was touted as having the pulling power only a man credited with ending the Cold War could muster. Gerhard Schröder, the former German chancellor was there and former British Prime Minister John Major dropped in. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger was on hand to offer his congratulations.
"The name Michael has many connotations in the Bible and the New Testament," Peres said in his speech. "There Michael is an Angel. A carrier of great news. A leader..."
"I will not argue with the Bible tonight. Because our Michael spearheaded one of the greatest revolutions that we can speak of today. With an exceptional amount of courage, yet also with great sensitivity towards his people, and the political climate. He opened the flood-gates to be rid of Communism and bring in the waters of democracy. He fought to restore what his homeland had lost to Communism, and succeeded."
The gala took place at London's Royal Albert Hall, and besides Ferry and the Bolshoi, also featured performances from legendary acts such as Dame Shirley Bassey, the London Sympony Orchestra, and a long list of Russian home grown stars, such as internationally acclaimed Russian baritone Dmitry Hvorostovsky, rock stars Andrey Makarevich and Mashina Vremeni and the Turetsky Choir, a choir founded by conductor Michael Turetsky of the Moscow Central Synagogue.
The artists, according to the program, celebrated "the seven stages of Mr Gorbachev's life" including his childhood, rise to high office, the reforms of Perestroika and his international peace efforts, which ultimately led to the collapse of communism and his Nobel Peace Prize award.
The former Soviet leader personally chose Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the internet, CNN founder Ted Turner and Evans Wadongo as the winners of the inaugural Gorbachev Awards.
Peres presented Kenyan engineer Wadongo, who invented a hand built solar lantern, with the award.

Irreversible Games with Incomplete Information: The Asymptotic Value
Irreversible games are stochastic games in which once the play leaves a state it never revisits that state. This class includes absorbing games. This paper proves the existence and a characterization of the asymptotic value for any finite irreversible game with incomplete information on both sides. This result extends Mertens and Zamir 1971 for repeated games with incomplete information on both sides, and Rosenberg 2000 for absorbing games with incomplete information on one side.

When you open up video editing software for the first time, all of the buttons, levels, and options can be pretty overwhelming—so much so that it's easy to carve out a cozy little space within an NLE and only utilize a couple of basic tools that allow you to cut clips and do star wipes. However, branching out, even just a smidge, doesn't have to be an ordeal. In fact, learning how to use these 6 Final Cut Pro X effects will help you extend your technical reach as a novice editor and make your projects more dynamic.
This video comes from Caleb Pike of DSLR Video Shooter.
Because Pike recorded this video before the big FCPX 10.3 redesigncame out a couple of weeks ago, he's using an older version of the software. However, the tools he uses are still relevant regardless of whether you have the update or not.

Review by Redthing
I had to read this for an English class. I'm still trying to figure out why.Maybe I'll be better at strategy games?
Review by ablueidol
Love the notion that the greatest leader is one that defeats the challege before it is known that the challenge exists. Here we are obsessed with the hero leader who battles with the mighty demons and after much struggle wins. I see this in schools where the head turns around a failing school and is seen as a great leader. But all too often they miss the greater leadership of the head who intervenes with a timely word here, a school event there keeps the school on track, Much better to read the straight translations rather then the art of war for the board room which often miss the point
Review by 9days
A classic that is as valuable for war strategies as it is for work and everyday relations.My edition is from Shambhala, and translated by Thomas Cleary (famed for his translations of Miyamoto Musashi's work, as well as his biography).In this edition, each of the passages is interpreted by 11 different people (from Li Quan to Zhang Yu), for scope and perspective. While it's not necessary to include so many interpreters, I find that the different perspectives (and wording) sometimes made Master Sun's wisdoms clearer.

Rockhampton swimmer Alanna Bowles may have made the Australian Commonwealth Games team but there's no time to rest.

Rockhampton's Alanna Bowles at training after making the Australian Commonwealth Games team as the youngest member. (ABC Local:Alice Roberts)
The 16-year-old is the youngest member of the 47-strong team and was back at training after winning silver in the 800 metre freestyle final at the Australian Swimming Championships.
She says making the team has been a dream come true.
"It was very exciting and overwhelming," she said.
"I was with Olympians and people that I look up to and suddenly I'm in a team with them.
"You couldn't wipe the smile off my face."
She says it's not something she thought she could achieve with a back injury plaguing her in the lead up to the trials.
But she managed to achieve her personal best during the heats with a time of 8:29:40, breaking the Junior World Record.
"I just said it's only 800 metres, it's only eight minutes and thirty seconds of your life," she said.
"There's 1,400 minutes in a day, I'm sure you can get through eight minutes of it."
Alanna says she's already been welcomed by the team.
"They've kind of all just really taken to me because I am the baby in the Olympic team, not the para-Olympic team, there's a 15-year-old girl, but they all look out for me," she said.
"I know the Campbell sisters Bronte and Kate, they're really nice and I'm rooming with Bronte in Manchester for the staging camp."
She hopes the games will give her experience.
"I plan to race hard and represent my country really well but in the lead up to 2016 Rio Olympics, I guess there's not much else you can take but experience," Alanna said.
She says she hopes she can keep up with fellow Australian swimmer Jessica Ashwood and reach a time of 8:20.
"It might happen, it might not but it's really good to just be where I am," she said.
Alanna heads to the National Age Championships next week and is five weeks out from her first grand prix meet with the rest of the Australian team.

Defense Acquisitions: Future Ground-Based Vehicles and Network Initiatives Face Development and Funding Challenges
Oct. 26, 2011 defense-aerospace.com
(Source: Government Accountability Office; issued Oct. 26, 2011)
(Testimony by Belva M. Martin, GAO director, acquisition and sourcing management, before the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces, House Committee on Armed Services.)
Why GAO Did This Study
After the Army canceled the Future Combat System in June of 2009, it began developing modernization plans, including developing a new Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) and additional network capability. At the same time, the Army was considering options on how to improve its light tactical vehicles.
This statement addresses potential issues related to developing (1) the new GCV, (2) a common information network, and (3) the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) in a constrained budget environment. The statement is based largely on previous GAO work conducted over the last year in response to congressional requests and results of other reviews of Army modernization.
To conduct this work, GAO analyzed program documentation, strategies, and test results; interviewed independent experts and Army and Department of Defense (DOD) officials; and witnessed demonstrations of current and emerging network technologies.
What GAO Found
Delivering a feasible, cost-effective, and executable GCV solution presents a major challenge to the Army, with key questions about the robustness of the analysis of alternatives, the plausibility of its 7-year schedule, and cost and affordability. DOD and the Army have taken steps to increase oversight of the program, but resolving these issues during technology development will remain a challenge.
For example, the Army has already reduced some requirements and encouraged contractors to use mature technologies in their proposals, but the 7-year schedule remains ambitious, and delays would increase development costs. Independent cost estimates have suggested that 9 to 10 years is a more realistic schedule. Over the next 2 years during the technology development phase, the Army faces major challenges in deciding which capabilities to pursue and include in a GCV vehicle design and determine whether the best option is a new vehicle or modifications to a current vehicle.
The Army's new information network strategy moves away from a single network development program to an incremental approach with which feasible technologies can be developed, tested, and fielded. The new strategy has noteworthy aspects, such as using periodic field evaluations to assess systems that may provide potential benefit and getting soldier feedback on the equipment being tested.
However, the Army has not articulated requirements, incremental objectives, or cost and schedule projections for its new network. It is important that the Army proceed in defining requirements and expected capabilities for the network to avoid the risk of developing individual capabilities that may not work together as a network. With the cancellation last week of its ground mobile radio and continuing problems in developing technology to provide advanced networking capability, the Army will still need to find foundational pieces for its network.
The Army is reworking earlier plans to develop and acquire the JLTV and is planning to recapitalize some of its High Mobility, Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMWWV). These efforts have just begun, however, and their results are not yet assured. To reduce risk in the JLTV program, the services relied on multiple vendors during technology development to increase their knowledge of the needed technologies, determine the technology maturity level, and determine which requirements were achievable.
As a result, the services identified trades in requirements to drive down the cost of the vehicle. For example, the services found that JLTV could not achieve both protection level and transportability goals, so the services are accepting a heavier vehicle. A potential risk for the services in allowing industry to build vehicles for testing is that the prototypes may not be mature; the Army will need to keep its options open to changes that may result from these tests. Both the Army and the Marine Corps have articulated a significant future role for their Up-Armored HMMWV fleets, yet the fleets are experiencing reduced automotive performance, the need for better protection as threats have evolved, and other issues.
The Army is planning to recapitalize a portion of its Up-Armored HMMWV fleet to increase automotive performance and improve blast protection. The Marine Corps' plans to extend the service life of some of its HMMWVs used in light tactical missions are not yet known.

When you invest on something, you, undoubtedly, desire to gain good returns on it. It is true not only in financial terms, but in other cases too. Buying a house involves significant investment, which provides you the returns in the form of convenience, comfort and lifetime shelter guarantee. Isn't it? But do you know, it does not only offer you a present luxurious lifestyle, but a secure future as well. Having an asset ownership makes you eligible for availing the benefits of equity property release schemes. In case of the scheme of release home equity, the asset of the old aged individuals gives them an opportunity to earn a handsome amount of money in lieu of the same.
For most of the people, retirement is the most convenient phase of life, when the individuals are allowed to earn an attractive income without any mental or physical workload. If you are among this group of people, then you must try to get out of this misconception. The pension amount that the retirees get is too trivial to meet their essential needs. With the help of equity property release plan, an attempt has been made to help the old aged individuals get rid of any such financial worries. During the retirement phase, due to their insufficient pension, the senior citizens are always in search of some other mode of income. Release home equity is a program that provides them a chance to facilitate a convenient living through continuous cash inflow in return to their own property.
Along with home ownership, there are certain other factors which also determine your eligibility for the equity property release schemes. The very next one on the list is your age. It might vary with the institutions or private lenders offering these benefits, but in most of the cases, the minimum eligible age for availing these facilities is 55 years. The more your age, the maximum is your chance of getting your release home equity application approved sooner. This is because, with age the strength of an individual declines, which makes it difficult for them to go for some other tough means of earning. The financiers try to make the life comfortable for them by approving a significant amount for their comfortable old age living.
Next on the list of factors, which help the lenders decide whether to approve a particular equity property release application or reject it is the value of one's property. As soon as you apply for these schemes, the lenders, before giving their consent to the application, visit your household to see the the maintenance of your house. The release home equity amount is directly proportional to the maintenance of your asset. In simple words, the more maintained your house, the more will be your chances of maximum earning. Based on their evaluation, the lenders would decide how much amount you are entitled to receive.
The equity property release lenders visit your household with one more objective in mind, which is completely business-oriented. Examining the maintenance level of your asset and evaluating it properly would help them be aware whether your household has the capacity to attract the buyers when it is put to sale, after your death to get back their release home equity money inclusive of interest.

Exiting single market could trigger Sinn Fein border poll, Lord Ashdown warns
Exiting the single market makes it "highly likely" Sinn Fein will trigger a border poll in Northern Ireland with Protestant backing, Lord Paddy Ashdown has insisted.
The former Lib Dem leader said he was more worried about how the shockwaves of Brexit could affect Northern Ireland, rather than Scotland.
Lord Ashdown, who grew up in Northern Ireland, said that a united Ireland vote pushed by Sinn Fein could gain some Protestant business support, but would be defeated and be very destabilising.
"If we get a single market continuation, wise heads ought to be able to come to a conclusion which keeps the border open. If we get less than that, I think we track back towards a fixed border.
"I think that Sinn Fein could very easily use the provision in the Good Friday Agreement that allows them to have a referendum, to call a referendum.
"There are quite a few serious Protestant middle class, especially in the business community, who would say 'you know, my heart goes to London, but my business interest goes to Europe'.
"But my judgment is that Sinn Fein couldn't win a majority. There's a high likelihood they'd call one in those circumstances.
"And the problem is that the very fact of calling a referendum in Northern Ireland will hugely destabilise," Lord Ashdown said.
However, under the Good Friday Agreement, only the Northern Ireland Secretary has the power to call a border referendum.

One of the things I do in what is laughingly called my 'spare' time is run an online list for textile artists, called Alternative Quilt List (find it here). It is very much an on topic list, with very few digressions, and it has been quiet for a while. So, to set us up for the new year, I set a challenge for the list, to make a quilt that looked ahead to the coming year. Imaginatively titled 'The Future Challenge', a number of our members did in fact make pieces for it. Just to make it interesting, I offered some of my hand dyed fabric as prizes, and we voted on our favourites. The outright winner was the beautiful quilt you see above. It was made by Eva Ahlander from Sweden; she says;
"I have thought some time about how I can stop being so hard on myself and accept that I have more than one side, the ones I like and the ones I am not so proud of. (This is not about schizophrenia, as my quilt group quickly named my piece!) It is about embracing all of me, the good and the bad. Life is not perfect and life is fragile and I need to look after all of me. I will try and do this in 2009. How to make this into a quilt?
I accidentally heard that January is named after an ancient god Janus, who is the god with two faces and the challenge began to take shape. What also attracted me to this ancient myth was that he was some sort of door keeper, and I have a fondness for doors….
So I played with old photos in Photoshop and printed them off on fabric. Then I embellished with buttons and ribbons and paint. The old lady with the pink hat is in the background of an old 60´s photo of my husband as a baby. (did that make sense?) I doubled her to make a newer version of Janus and then I doubled up an old photo of an aunt from the 40´s and made her into Janus twins with the masks. Buttons attached to give a bit of 3D. The binding is an old piece of fabric I ripped from the inside of a pair of jeans.
I was so inspired by this, I will now attempt to make one piece once a month. Same size as this one, with the base of the names of the months and where they came from, February was named after a god who was in charge of death and purging (!) and try to link it to me somehow. We will see how it goes…"
For myself, I think that if it goes as well as the first one, she will have a collection to be proud of at the end of the year! If you would like to see more of Eva's work, check out her blog
nb the first two images are details, the first is of the Janus twins, the second of Old Lady Janus, whilst the third is the complete piece.

Curbing Kennel Stress
THIS PAGE: Creating a bearable environment by providing for dogs' basic needs. BELOW
SEE ALSO: Training Tips for Shelter Dogs - LINK
Shelters were never meant to house animals longterm so it's natural to see dogs display undesirable behaviors including anti-social behaviors days or weeks after intake.The most effective way to combat kennel stress is to make adoption and rescue transfer a top priority in your shelter, but these suggestions will provide a better quality of life during the wait.
Add natural light wherever possible to kennels and/or dogs' daily routines.
Have you ever met someone suffering from 'SAD' (seasonal affective disorder)? Daily internal cycles called 'Circadian Rhythms' affect our moods and sleep cycles in substantial ways, and those cycles are disrupted when we miss out on natural light. Regular exposure to natural light promotes health, rest and well-being (LINK).
Outdoor activities including dog walks are beneficial. For dogs that just don't get enough, rotating to outdoor kennels or crating indoors for part of the day in a patch of sunshine can be beneficial where older kennel buildings lack good light. Shelters with upgrade budgets can consider adding skylights to kennel areas where window space is scarce.
Identify and reduce offensive noise as much as possible
The word noise is said to come from the Latin word 'nauseas' - meaning disgust or discomfort. Noise pollution can cause annoyance, high stress levels, sleep disturbances and other harmful effects. Research indicates that animals as well as plants are negatively impacted by offensive noise. (LINK)
- Muffle barking with sound panels, quilted blankets, etc. (LINK)
- Mindful movement. Encourage staff and volunteers to mind their movement during the daily routine to avoid creating unnecessary noise (clanging equipment, slamming kennel doors, etc).
- Water fountain. Even a small inexpensive fountain will create a peaceful compliment to chaotic shelter noise.
- Teach and reinforce quiet. Dogs can be easily trained to reduce their barking. One favorite method utilizes clickers. See trainer Karen Pryor's site: "Make Your Shelter a Bark-Free Zone"
- Radio and recorded music designed for calming. This site - Through A Dog's Ear - swears by classical music tapes for bringing calm to shelter kennels.
Photo Right. These sound panels specially designed for use in the League for Animal Welfare Animal Shelter reduced the reverberation in by 52% and the overall noise level from 100 dBA to 12 dBA. That's some improvement! Read more.

A dog's sense of smell is his primary sense, said to be 1000 times more sensitive than a human's. It's no surprise that dogs crave opportunities to investigate scents and are happier when that interest is supported. Consider adding:
- Scented gardens around the facilities for both dogs and humans to enjoy. Dog-safe cut flowers and bunch grasses tied to kennel walls or sprinkled inside the kennels bring interest and enjoyment.
- Sprays and scented products. Invite volunteers to create subtle sprays for use in the air and/or on the dogs' bedding. Lavendar is well regarded as a calming scent. Try lavendar scented cleaners, dryer sheets and laundry soap such as Mrs. Meyers products. Link
- Nose Work is a fun and simple exercise that utilizes a dog's sense of smell, builds confidence and focus in a shelter dogs and engages both dogs and volunteers in a pleasant and rewarding activity (Link)
Right: Star was born in a Southern CA desert and spent most of her life on a chain in the dust. She arrived just as we were planting flowers for our garden. Rather than use her exercise time to stretch her legs in the large yard, she chose to investigate every plant, lying next to and enjoying the scent of each one before moving on to the next. Her stunning example was a reminder how important and enjoyable scent investigation is to dogs.
Offer variety and comfort inside the kennel
- Furniture and bedding: Kuranda beds via kuranda bed donation program.
- Plastic dog crates with doors removed can be utilized for stressed dogs who need to den. Half shell plastic dog crates work well for simple beds.
- Chews: Knuckle bones, bully sticks, antlers.
- Food puzzles: Kong®Wobbler, Stuffed Kongs®, treat balls, handmade puzzles,
- Frozen treat buckets, courtesy of Animal Farm Foundation.
- Create a wish list on Amazon.com to help supporters make fast and easy gift donations.
- Exercise inside kennel. Shaping behaviors with clicker - See training link.
Social Needs
Encourage relationship to promote well being
Dogs are social creatures who crave relationship. Finding ways to enourage and support this need will increase dogs' ability to endure the stress of kenneling.
- Roommates. Kennel dogs who've demonstrated appropriate play manners together, or where this is not possible, house them next door or across from each other within plain sight.
- Organize group walks with dogs who share the same section of the shelter to reduce stress by encouraging relationship between the dogs in a structured way.
- Volunteers are key. Encourage in-kennel quiet time with volunteers and trusted dogs to help dogs experience their kennels in a pleasurable way.
- Reduce hormonal stressors. Avoid housing intact dogs near each other and alter as soon as possible to reduce tensions.
- Tire'em out! Whether it's larger play groups or one-on-one play dates, daily contact with appropriate canine play partners can make all the difference in helping dogs de-stress and practice important social skills. A peek into a morning play session at BADRAP's kennels: PLAY
- Flirt Poles are popular for exericise and training. LINK
- Treadmills can be fantastic tools for tiring a dog out. LINK
- Regularly scheduled obedience training sessions. See training LINK.

Continued from Part 1 above:
Thinking about child protection and development there should be an organization by that name created in each area of the country that should be responsible for the welfare of children. This organization should have the power to decide where children live, and with whom, when there is a problem or conflict with children and their welfare. This organization should have jurisdiction when it comes to children involved in any form of child abuse situations. Their charter should spell out the process and assignment of children that insures that the children are happy and that all their needs are met. Their needs should include shelter, protection, food, clothing, education and a loving environment. Each assignment of a child should have a system of feedback that insures that in fact the child has been placed in a happy, productive and loving environment. A system of evaluation should be used to determine most of all what the child wants and needs. If the child has problems due to the result of abuse or health related issues, these need to be taken care of before the child can participate in the process of his or her future decision making.
The Child Protection and Development Charter, CPDC or something like that should be the name of this organization. It should be made up of educated caring people that have demonstrated backgrounds in child development and care. The number of people in each group should be based on the need for a given area. The number of people in any given area that have the knowledge and capacity to benefit that particular charter.
Each charter should have a principal office in a private, commercial, Town, City or State facility. They should not have any requirement placed on them regarding their purpose or operation because of their operating location. The facility they use should be donated without attachments of any kind associated with their purpose and function. They should operate in the not for profit area so as not to interfere with its goal of child protection and development purpose.
The source of funding to cover the costs associated with the running of these charters should be pure and simple donations without attachments period.
There needs to be a central charter that coordinates the efforts and operations of the satellite offices.
It may be necessary to start this sort of Child Protection and Development Charter partnering with other not for profit organization that have the skills in this area of operation. I will look into this situation.

"What you got is what gets me every time
The way you piss on everything real"
It's almost like despite anything we think about them, being kind or better than the rest.. they all get down to the same idea.
Dunno if I'm right or not, but it's sure what the song says to me. >.

Know something about this song or lyrics? Add it to our wiki.
When I weep on your shoulder
you caress me with the warmest embrace
Tears are not a comfort
but truly a great suffering
Scarring of the soul a reminder of
the bitterness,
gained through the years and years
in despair
What gift pays grieving
but the loss of sadness for a moment
Ignorance of children - admirable
they know not grief
The reminder of sadness
is still grinding
Still harvesting delight
A fragile bird he cannot fly
without his wings
You cut them deeply
when you were my God
and Gods always fail you
Lyrics submitted by metal_messiah
