ISLAMABAD: Amidst the boycott of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the commission on creation of new provinces on Tuesday elected Senator Farhatullah Babar as its chairman.
The commission met for the first time since its inception, at the Parliament House, attended by nine out of 12 of its members, and elected Babar as its chairman after Jamshed Dasti proposed his name for the slot.
The commission had been formed on August 16 by National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza in line with the direction of President Zardari after passage of unanimous resolutions by the NA and Punjab Assembly for creation of southern Punjab province and revival of provincial status of Bahawalpur.
Babar told the media the commission would request PML-N members to participate in the sessions, and it would meet again today (Wednesday) for framing draft rules and adopting them to increase its efficiency.
Two Punjab Assembly members would be included as and when their nominations are received from the assembly speaker. The PML-N had raised questions over the commission's formation as well inclusion of members from ANP and MQM, as both parties did not have representation in the Punjab Assembly.
To a query on why only representatives from Punjab could not form this commission, Babar said, "When you talk about creating a new province, it requires amending the constitution, and amendment of the constitution cannot be handed over to any one province or political party."
Religious Affairs Minister Khursheed Shah said the commission would continue to work even if the PML-N does not participate. Brushing aside the PML-N's allegation that the government did not consult it over the commission, he said the opposition leaders in both Houses were formally asked for nominations.
Senator Ishaq Dar nominated one member and when there was no response from the other side, the NA speaker nominated members herself.

Hot stock: SIA shares soar in early-morning trade
SHARES of Singapore Airlines (SIA) soared in early-morning trading on Wednesday to S$12.04, up 24 Singapore cents or 2.03 per cent, as at 10.23am, making it one of the top gainers on Singapore Exchange.
The movements come after SIA confirmed on Tuesday that it is in talks to potentially acquire a stake in South Korea's budget carrier Jeju Air, which would give it a foothold in the buoyant North Asian market.
It had said that the discussions may not result in a transaction and that the airline would make further announcements as necessary.
SIA, Jeju Air and the latter's parent Aekyung Group started talks late last year over a possible stake sale, Reuters had said, quoting a Jeju Air spokesman. A report out of South Korea suggests that the stake could be in the region of 20 per cent.
The proposed acquisition comes as the SIA group - which includes regional wing SilkAir as well as budget subsidiaries Scoot and Tigerair - faces formidable competition from full-service and low-cost carriers alike, which has been putting pressure on margins.

Abstract: With the maturing of AI and multiagent systems research, we have a tremendous opportunity to direct these advances towards addressing complex societal problems. I will focus on the problems of countering terrorism (for public safety and security), extinction (wildlife conservation), and homelessness (public health in low resource communities). One key multiagent systems challenge that cuts across these problem areas is how to effectively deploy limited intervention resources. In addressing this challenge, we provide advances in multiagent systems research, particularly in terms of computational game theory and agent modeling. For public safety and security, I will introduce the use of Stackelberg security games model for effectively allocating limited security resources. These security games models are used by agencies such as the US Coast Guard and the US Federal Air Marshals Service to assist in the protection of ports, flights and other critical infrastructure. Second, I will illustrate the use of green security games to allocate limited resources in protecting endangered wildlife. By advancing adversary modeling in these games, we have helped removal of snares and arrests of poachers in national parks in Uganda. Third, for public health, I will outline challenges of using limited resources for spreading health information in low resource communities, and algorithms based on games against nature. These algorithms show significant improvements over traditional methods in harnessing social networks to spread HIV-related information among homeless youth. I will also point to directions for future work, illustrating the significant potential of AI for social good.

You wouldn't use the same dirty spoon every day for months without washing it, would you? You need to replace your toothbrush about every 3 month, but you need to clean it once a week to kill germs, bacteria, and viruses. Since power toothbrushes have moving parts, there are more places for critters to hide, including slimy mold (yuck!) This is especially true if you have just gotten over an illness or have a health condition such as diabetes or heart disease. (Or if you have a spiteful roommate or sibling that likes to dip other people's personal items in the toilet!)
Here's a couple options:
- Automatic dishwasher. This is the easiest; just throw it in when you wash and sterile your dishes as usual. You may want to put it on the top rack unless you know it won't melt in the utensil caddy.
- 30 second soak. Place brush upside down in a small cup, then fill with just enough antiseptic mouthwash to cover the the head of the toothbrush completely and let soak for 30 seconds before dumping the solution and allowing the brush to air dry.
- Overnight soak. Follow directions above, but this time use white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide and allow to soak overnight.
With many people not having dental insurance in this country, this is a good way to preserve not only a healthy smile, but also good physical and financial health.

During the 2018-19 school year, Summit Academy shifted the model of all PE classes to incorporate Occupational Therapy (OT). This change was a tremendous success, and we look forward to maintaining this approach in the 2019-20 school year and beyond.
Students spent the year working on their archetype reflexes – the basis for self-regulation and the foundation for primary movement patterns and development. The archetype reflexes are among the first to develop and emerge and allow for normal range and flexibility of motion whole providing support, balance and stability for the body.
Each PE class opened with running, skipping, hopping, push-ups, planks, sit-ups and superman extensions. Students then went on to experiment with a wide range of sports units, including tennis, volleyball, ping pong, archery, kickball and foursquare. These sports units have helped students practice understanding and integrating rules and fostered sportsmanship and awareness of teammates and opponents.
Thanks to the new OT-based approach to PE, students exhibited improved visual motor integration, motor planning abilities and bilateral integration. Students also demonstrated increased attention, coordination, stamina and strength. All of these gains were reflected in student behavior and learning throughout the school!
Under Construction!
We've been hard at work this summer doing updates and renovations to spaces throughout our school.
The library is being outfitted with colorful new furniture that allows for a wide range of seating arrangements – counter height tables where students can stand or sit at stools as well as standard height tables that can be re-arranged into a variety of different configurations for reading and group projects. Several administrative staff members are moving offices in order to maximize space and efficiency. We're modifying the conference room and adding a teachers' lounge. The lobby is getting a facelift with some exciting new signage and decor. Tykes' Peak (Kindergarten) is getting new flooring in the common areas. All classrooms are being cleaned and prepped, and we're experimenting with unique furniture and equipment in several classrooms in an effort to find what works best and what should be duplicated across all classrooms.
We hope our students and families enjoy the updates when they return next month, and we look forward to continuing to make improvements throughout our school!

Black Friday 2017 is upon us and ULTA is ready!! Now that I've had a chance to pour over the ULTA Black Friday flier, here are my top 10 picks for this year!
All of the product names are links that will take you to the permanent page on the ULTA site, not the sale page, so don't be fooled by the prices. Don't forget to bring your $3.50 off your $15 purchase coupon with you for additional savings! If you want to stay at home and shop in your pj's, I won't judge. If you add EBates to your computer, and activate the ULTA percentage, you'll save additional money!
Let the shopping begin!
NYX Professional Makeup Lippie Countdown Advent Calendar
Valued at $75.70, this wicked fun advent calendar is one not to miss! I love NYX Professional Makeup, especially their lip products. The color selection and product formulas are of high quality which is a great thing since it is a really affordable brand! This advent calendar comes with the color that I wore on my wedding day, Creme Brulee, aww… I have this one on my Christmas list…
Hubby, are you reading this??
We all need some "me time" during and after the holidays, so this is your go ahead to put this ultra moisturizing conditioner in your hair and zone out for a few minutes… even if your kids are banging on the door.
If you watched my most recent haul video, you'll know that I got the Sebastian Re-Shaper Hairspray, and I love it! It really manages to get the job done without the icky, crunchy hold like I remember from the 80's… eww. I love the Sebastian company, but this product is one of my favorites, hands down.
ULTA Beauty Holiday Bath Liquids
Well that looks delicious! A Frosted Pistachio bubble bath sounds amazing right now! There is nothing I like better at the end of a day, than a long, hot bubble bath. I love ULTA's 3-in-1 Smoothie's because let's face it, I'm lazy, and if I can just reach over and wash my hair with the same great smelling potion I just put into my tub, I'm game! This also reminds me of my best friend's dog, Pistachio, so she'll be getting this for Christmas!
OGX has been one of my favorite hair care brands for years. They take really great ingredients, make amazing smelling products with them, and then they put them in super colorful packaging so I can smile when I get into the shower! I've even gotten my husband to use the Argan Oil of Morocco collection! I'm not sure if the Black Friday sale also includes the limited edition Kandee Johnson collection, but if it does… holy cow!!! Watch out!!! My daughter and I are in love with the Sparkling Cider, so we'll have to stock up on the whole collection before it runs out!
BUTTER London Glazen Eye Gloss
This product, gives me chills. It is so cool, like an ethereal pudding for your eye lids. When you apply these mystical beings on your eyelids, they make your eyelids look wet, but they aren't! Go ahead and find a YouTube video on these babies. Go ahead, I'll wait… It comes in eight stunning colors, my favorite being Oil Slick, a "sparkling chameleon" color. I also have Unicorn and Mermaid on my wishlist, because… Unicorn and Mermaid… Duh.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Ultimate Mascara Set
I have about six tubes of this mascara in my "extras" drawer to have on hand in times of eye makeup crises. No joke. My daughter loves the waterproof one so much that if I dare take it from her, she will hunt me down. I don't blame her. When you've found "your" mascara, you shouldn't let anyone take it from you. Even your mom. This set also comes with the Mascara Melt-Off, which I use every night to remove my face. It's got a tiny little wand that gets right to the base of your lashes and gets the day off. No more itchy eyes in the morning!
ULTA Beauty Holiday Men's Fragrance Sampler
So I couldn't find the actual link to this product on ULTA's website yet. It seems to me that you get 14 small sample sizes of some of their best selling men's fragrance, and then you get a $15 gift card to spend on the one that you like best in the near future. When I can get the details on this, I will add an update with the specifics. I picked this because my husband loves to smell good, and he's also into trying different fragrances, so I think this would be perfect for him.
Again, not finding this specific set yet on ULTA's site, but I can tell you that Mario Badescu is my go-to skin care line, and has been for years. This set appears to contain the Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea, the Enzyme Cleansing Gel, and the Botanical Exfoliating Scrub. I carry either this facial spray or the Rosewater one with me everywhere I go. On top of being really great for your skin and able to set makeup, I use it when I'm having a panic attack and need a second to re-group. I love the Enzyme Cleansing Gel as well, but I have heard that people with pineapple allergies have had a reaction with this, so just be cautious. I have not tried the Botanical Exfoliating Scrub yet, but I will now!
Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash
Philosophy is one of those companies that I allow myself to splurge on once in a while. They have great skin care items and fragrances. I purchased a travel size of this exfoliating wash several years ago, used it up right away, and loved every minute of it. If you have a Clarisonic brush, or something similar, this would be a great product to use with it to really get in there and clean your pores out. The web site lists the 8oz. bottle for $28, so the 12oz. bottle for $15 is a great deal! This bottle will probably last me the whole year.
According to ULTA's website you can shop online starting at 5PM CT on Thursday, November 23rd and shop in store starting at 6PM on Thursday. It also says that store hours vary, so when you're making your game plan, make sure to check with your local store first! All pictures are straight from the ULTA Black Friday website.
Make sure to check back in a few days for my Cyber Monday picks!
This post is not sponsored in any way. All opinions are my own and are formed by previous use of the product or brand. I will never recommend something to my reader's that I don't personally love and use!
Now that you're all caught up, please go check out Get Your Pretty On, Shaeffer Told Me To, Style Elixir, Mix and Match Mama, and The Larson Lingo who I am linking up with today!

Before I even get into this, I must say that I need to come up with some kind of plan to post consistently. There is a bit much going on at work, but I will work through it.
Now with that said, let's get to it.
I'll be the first to admit, I do not have a lot in common with Samantha. She is probably the complete opposite of who I am. Therefore, when trying to find items that I thought represented her, I was at a loss. I thought, "There is no way I'm posting pictures of my underwear." After a lot more deliberation, I decided to come up with items that were most like Samantha is spirit, rather than literally. So these are my favorite things that I own (and paid for with my own money) – inspired by the character…So here we go:
Let's start with shoes…
I love these shoes…they both have something about them that makes me feel badass. The shoe on the left is a pair I ordered from ShoeDazzle.com, Kim Kardashian's online shoe store (I am addicted to this site…it's just not even funny anymore). The pair on the left is from Bakers. The platform and bright color on this one make me think Samantha. Seems like something she'd wear with a regular business suit. Both have something a little bold about them (at least bold for me), and when I wear them, I stand out. 🙂
Next up is the makeup. Three things, MAC's Show Orchid Lipstick, Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick, and NYX's American Queen Mega Shine Lipgloss are bold, even for me, and I am not afraid of color when it comes to makeup! Both Show Orchid and American Queen have that dialed up fuschia-pink going on. Whenever I wear it, I have gotten used to people staring at my mouth. I believe I chose Revolultion not only for the in your face red, but for the packaging as well. Urban Decay's packaging features a dagger at the end of the lipgloss. If that's not bold…
Samantha had pretty bold nails in Sex and the City 2 (or was I the only one that noticed that?), and even though I don't go as crazy as she did, I do like a little pizazz on the nails from time to time. Chic Prints by Sephora by OPI allows ladies (or gents, whatever) to quickly apply a bold print with easy removal. I saw them online one day, and immediately went to Sephora. Whenever I wear them, people always ask "Is that Minx?" Only problem? I have small nail beds, so I have to do a lot of editing to get it to look right on my nails.
The other polish is Nabi Nail Lacquer. I picked it up for $3 at MetroPark. I painted my nails with Zoya's Trixie (silver), and then coated these little rhinstone pieces on top of it. It was my say goodbye to summer nail 😦
The glasses are by Betsey Johnson, and they have little gold speckles on the side with a pink heart. The ring is from…somewhere. Either New York and Company, or Rock 'n Sole. I forget.
Anyway, these are my Samantha-iest things that don't go folded up in a drawer. What brings out the Samantha in you?
P.S. If you want to join ShoeDazzle, here is my invite link. You know I have a shoe issue, so help support my habit if you'd like. Every 3 friends to make a purchase, you get a free pair. Come on! My bday just passed, so technically you could be in on getting me a present 😉 I'm just saying…

Speaking up in a public meeting should result in violations of someone's rights under the First ("peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"), Fifth ("nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"), or Eighth ("Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.") Amendments. Anti-fracking activist Alma Hasse is seeking legal redress. This could be a nationwide trend, with one local bully apologizing to Nydia Tisdale to avoid jail in Forsyth County, Georgia, after settling for $200,000 for being ejected from the Cummings, Georgia City Council for videoing. Nydia hasn't filed charges yet for the case of the six missing screams, in which she was forcibly ejected from a public campaign event headlined by Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal for videoing. Maybe if you advertise a public meeting, you can't throw someone out for videoing, and you can't arrest somebody for speaking up in public government meeting.

"Chinese Mother" Help A Kidney Failure Girl from Mauritius Find the Hope of Life2015-12-14 14:44
"I am alive again" TAKUN said loudly with a big smile on her face. She is a lovely girl from Mauritius, in her age she should live happily in the school yard. But due to the serious symptoms caused by kidney failure, she has to stay at hospital or home. She lived like this for several years that really bothered her a lot.
"But now, the life is easier, you see, " TAKUN said with her big eyes looked into mine, "it won't be too long before i back to school. My mother told me that i need not to take dialysis any more." "oh, that will be great" i said gently. "but where is your mother ? I even didn't seen her since i came here." "didn't you ? Here, you see she is my mother. And look at there, she is also my mother." she pointed to the nurses near to us. "they are the nurses not your mother, i mean where is your mother? " "they are my mother, all of them are my mother. They give me another chance to live so they are my mother. They give me a new life, just like my mother!" she said repeatedly. "Ok, i know now, all of them are your mother. They treat you just like you are their own baby girl. " "yes, that's it!" she replied me loudly.
"All of them are my mother", i never thought a patient will call the nursers mother, but this is a real story just in front of me, i have to believe it. From this moment i know that love can between in any people as long as they want to devote their heart to other people.
From that moment, i know that the best treatment should not be the single treatment it should be the good treatment plus the good heart, only you meet these two aspects at the same time you can be a real good doctor, you can bring hope to the patient, you can be called "mother" by the patient.
If you are a doctor try your best to be such a good doctor! If you are a patient just to find such a doctor, then you will find your life again.

Plein Air – Midway Village June 4June 14, 2013
Back at Midway Village. The weather this morning is not promising. Overcast. I want to get a couple paintings done for practice and resource. The next couple days are predicted to be rainy and the Edge of the Rock Plein Air competition, a ten day affair, begins tomorrow.
The first scene to jump out at me includes an 1850 era barn. The sky is a real challenge. About halfway through the painting, the sun started to pop out from the clouds. Full sun on my painting and palette made it very interesting to finish my work.
After finishing the first painting, I decided to tackle another. Had to find shade first and then determine a scene to paint. Found a nice, quiet, secluded spot which focused on the light and shadows on the back sides of a couple of the Victorian structures, a scene which few visitors would recognize.

One of my latest makes…
From a skirt (that I never wore but loved the fabric)…
… into a wraparound scarf:
and a wire-wrapped necklace:
Like?! I LOVE! 🙂

Every so often, someone does something that restores your faith in humankind. You know the kind of things… strangers complimenting you, friends showing their amazing loyalty, nice surprises and kind words when you need it the most. One world where you don't expect this is the Retail world; it's there to make money, and this often takes top priority.
Let me tell you about a little sewing shop in Bath city centre where trust, kindness and generosity rate pretty high on that list. It's my favourite haberdashery shop, and I would feel guilty shopping anywhere else unless I had to. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and looks like any ordinary sewing shop from the inside. But the small acts of trust and generosity that this shop and its owner have demonstrated to me and Big Sis have shown me that it's a pretty fab place.
I'm not going to tell you what they trusted me with, or how they were generous, as I would hate for others to abuse this trust. Although I reckon you lot are pretty splendid, the Internet is a big bad place. So, let's just say that, if you need any fabric, sewing supplies or machines, or want to do a workshop, then this is the place to go.
The shop is on Charles Street, just up the hill from Green Park Station. You'll spot the rolls of material outside…

If you have a Mum as amazing as mine then you are VERY LUCKY. I know I am…
Mum came to visit a while ago. She met Big Sis at the station and, after getting ready, we went for dinner at Turtle Bay, then drinks at The Milk Thistle (one of the secret bars in Bristol). We had such a lovely girly time drinking cocktails and eating yummy food. Big Sis is having a hen do in August (which i'm organising :D) but Mum isn't coming, so we decided that this was the warm up weekend (The Chick Weekend!)
On the Saturday, we went for a day out in Frome. Frome is such a lovely town, with cobbled streets, bunting and cute little shops selling haberdashery, vintage clothes, homemade gifts and other pretty things. We went to the Garden Cafe for lunch, as recommended by Miss Catering at work. It was SO yummy, i'd definitely suggest a visit if you're nearby.
After all that hard work shopping and eating, we went back home, ate some more and watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Such a good film- a lot more interesting, funny and moving than I had expected.
Sunday was BABY TIME! Big Sis's fiance's sister (keeping up?) and her partner have recently had twins (their story is on One Born Every Minute S6 Ep2 if you want to know it!), and we went to see/ meet them in Bristol. They are super cute, and R and M are sooper dooper mums. You can tell that the babies are going to be spoilt rotten! After making lots of googly noises, tickling some teeny feet and clapping hands, I dropped Mum and Big Sis off to the station and said bye.
On the way back, I couldn't help but be a little bit smug. My family (and extended family) really are the best, and I'm a very, very lucky girl..

You might have read my post last year about our family weekend away. Well, this year it was my turn to plan the Sami Family Adventure, and I picked a cute little cottage in the centre of Tewkesbury, right near the Abbey.
We got there on Friday evening, and made a dash in the rain to get to The Boathouse for dinner, drinks and lots of chatting to catch up. The Boy could come this time as he had got his annual mountain trip out of the way beforehand (Ben Nevis this year), so he got to catch up with Mum and Dad too. And it was nice to talk to Big Sis and her fiance about their wedding plans too.
On the Saturday, we went to see the John Moore Museum, a little tudor cottage and church, and then went for a boat trip down the river. By this time it had stopped raining, just in time for a wander down the river to see the Mill.
After some lunch, we visited the Abbey and then chilled out before our BBQ. We had to move it inside because of the rain (The Boy calls this a "Welsh Barbie"), but it was still lovely. After that we chilled out, watched Glasto on the telly and then went to bed.
On Sunday, we packed up and drove to Snowshill Manor, a National Trust place nearby. It was right up my alley, as I love anything to do with collections, collectors and collecting! A guide told us the story of the eccentric Charles Wade, who owned the manor. After an idyllic childhood, Charles was moved to live with his Granny. Granny was stern and didn't like visitors, noise or playing. But she did let Charles play with the Oriental objects in her large cabinet. This started an interest (obsession?!) that prompted Charles to buy a manor house and fill it with collected items after the war. He lived in the small priest's house, and filled the manor with objects; everything from looms to ceramics, pictures to bicycles, furniture to model boats, and way more, including his room of Samurai armour!
It was a fascinating place, and I'm sure you could visit time and time again, noticing new things each time. I really liked the fact that Charles collected items that probably weren't valuable or even wanted , which probably would have ended up in the bin; at that time the emphasis was on the new, not the old, and Charles saw the beauty in these objects despite this. He went against the norm, the fashion, the trend, and picked items because of his own interest rather than their value. And because of this, we now get to see some fascinting items.
Even the garden was full of hidden items..
What a lovely weekend!!

I've been a teeny tiny bit obssessed with buttons for a while.
When I was younger, I remember sitting with my Grandma's button box (an old cigar box with a flappy lid), and running my hands through the buttons. Some were fairly new, some older than me. Some were picked off old shirts or blouses, some were still tacked to the card.
They all had stories.
And when Grandma died, that was the only thing I asked for from her house, to remind me of happy times playing with buttons before eating bananas and custard to the soundtrack of "the problem solver who gets results" on the radio. Problem was, Grandma didn't have one button box. By the time mum found the button box I wanted, I had inherited an ice cream tub and several other boxes full of buttons. As well as some embroidery thread, cotton reels, pins… And if an object has a story, I can't turn it away.
So now, I have an ice cream tub, a quality street tin, and a tupperware box of buttons that I can call my own.
As well as a mug…
And some brand new coasters from The Boy…
And a picture from my friend Princess Helen…
Oh, and a few other things….
I'll stop there. Buttons make me happy, and I'm grateful for the people who know this.

Together on the Way
On December 7-9,2018, at the Generalate in Rome a meeting was held of the General Leadership with the new Provincial Superiors from Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia.
The theme of the meeting was "Implementation of Authority in the Mature Community". The discussion helped us to better understand that the authority must be attractive and should encounter Sisters as equals. It would be meaningful for all of us to share our joys and sorrows, to understand how we can grow, help and support each other in love, especially in difficult situations. We have come to intensive listening from much talking. First of all, we have to listen to our God, recognize His plans, do according to His will, and let Him to work within us.
The meeting was a time of deepening sisterhood among us, and a time of planning into the future. With joy, we honestly searched for God's will for the Provinces. Now, we set off again on the path of trust. The hope and trust can transform our hearts, as well as our affairs, so they can mature and be changed. If we see our goal clearly, we can move forward step by step.

Byton M-Byte Concept Car Is Built to Be a 'Smartphone on Wheels'
As few as three Chinese carmakers set out their stalls recently at Frankfurt motor show, among them three-year-old Byton, which brought the production model of its first SUV- the M-Byte Concept. The M-Byte features a 4-foot-wide curved screen, as well as 270 horsepower and a 224-mile range.
When Byton showed its M-Byte concept in early 2018, you might have thought the 4-foot-wide interior screen was just a designer's nod to consumer love for in-car tech.
The Chinese electric car startup unveiled the $45,000 production version of the baby SUV at the latest Frankfurt Motor Show and the curved screen, which runs nearly the width of the dash, is honking huge.
Byton has partnered with Aurora, the self-driving developer led by industry pioneer Chris Urmson, to let its future cars drive themselves. The results of that work are still a ways off, but the big screen is designed with a robot-driven future in mind: It's not like you'll be watching the road once you no longer have to.
The base model draws 270 horsepower from a 72-kWh battery pack and is rated at 224 miles of range on Europe's new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure. (The WLTP is more rigorous than current European range test, but early results show it's still more generous than the EPA test in the US.) Shell out for the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version, and you get a 92-kWh pack good for 402 horsepower and 270 miles.

The $45,000 base price makes the M-Byte about half the price of competing premium electric SUVs like the Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace. Elon Musk has said Tesla's Model Y would start at $39,000, though the first version due to hit the market will begin at $60,000.
Byton is headquartered in Nanjing, where it has put $1.5 billion into a factory it says will be able to produce 300,000 vehicles a year. It will start M-Byte deliveries in China in the middle of next year and aims to get cars to European and North American customers in 2021.
The electric SUV, with a 250-mile range and 71 kWh battery, will go into production at the end of this year. They plan to start deliveries in China in the middle of 2020, and will start taking pre-orders in Europe and North America next year for 2021 deliveries.

'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth"
This weekend we have had a quiet one trying to get ready for Christmas. On Friday night Hubby and I were in London for work. Which meant the children were at my mums, so we used the opportunity when we got home on Saturday to start the Christmas shopping. I am not sure who is most excited about the present they will be getting on Christmas morning. We also picked up a Christmas tree which is now up and partially decorated.
We decided to move the sofas around in our lounge so that the tree was in the window. Which then ended up leading to a full on Spring clean and sort out. We went through bookcases and cupboards and had a trip to the dump. Although it wasn't perfectly timed as we should have been decorating the tree, but sometimes its worth doing when the mood takes you. To be honest the whole house could do with the same, now we have started I have the bug to do it all. Its definitely going to be going on my New Years Resolutions List.
This weeks photo was taken of the boys as they posed with the tree lights. Each year I try to get a picture of them with the lights on the kitchen floor. One of my favourite photos of Monkey as a baby is in amongst the tree lights. Kipper still isn't a fan of posing for photos so I have to be quick. Although its not perfect this photo does sum up their personalities perfectly.
Hope you all have a great week.

Conexiones was established in 2000 in response to the needs of Hispanic children in the Howard County Public School System. The 2000 census reported that nationally 44% of high school Hispanic students were dropping out of school. In the Howard County Public Schools, Hispanic students were the lowest academic ethnic group annually since the middle 1990s. At the time, Hispanic student enrollment was under 1.5% and the number of Hispanic faculty and staff in the school system was negligible. At the time, the growing Hispanic student and family population was not represented.
Dr. Murray Simon and Reverend Walter Rodríguez were co-founders of Conexiones to bring attention to the unique needs and talents of Hispanic students. Dr. Simon is a retired educator who spent 14 years of his career in five Latin American countries. He served as a resident advisor to the Ministries of Education of Colombia, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Conexiones was incorporated as a non-profit in the State of Maryland in early 2001. It became an educational partner of the school system in January 2003. In the year 2005, the Internal Revenue Service approved Conexiones as a charitable trust and as a non-profit organization.
The organization was established with the support of the then Howard County Public School System Superintendent, John O'Rourke. The next Superintendent, Dr. Sidney Cousin, was a staunch supporter of Conexiones and its objectives during his tenure. Conexiones builds on this tradition and on October 9, 2012, met for the first time with Dr. Renee A. Foose, the new Superintendent of Schools.
The Howard County Board of Education meets with the Board of Conexiones twice a year to discuss Hispanic student graduation and dropout rates and academic achievement. Meetings with school officials and participation in the Equity Council, District Planning Team, Operating Budget Review Committee and other policy and advisory boards occur throughout the year.
The first two employees selected to work with Hispanic families were assigned to Running Brook Elementary School in the late 1990s, before Conexiones was organized, under the supervision of Deborah Espitia, Chair of the system's Foreign (now World) Language Department.
As a result of advocacy by Conexiones, recognition of the growth in Hispanic enrollment, and support from the elected Board of Education, the school system became the first in the State of Maryland to establish a Hispanic Achievement Specialist. The position was approved by the Board of Education in 2006 and Mrs. Elisa Montalvo appointed as the Hispanic Achievement Liaison in 2007. Thanks to her leadership and extraordinary commitment, along with the support of the administration and Board of Education, there are currently Hispanic Achievement Liaisons in several schools with a high percentage of Hispanic students. Appropriate staffing, commensurate with the academic achievement and income need of Hispanic families, continues to be a critical need for the Howard County School System and a goal of Conexiones.
Hispanic representation in positions across all areas of school and central office staffing continues to be a challenge for the school system and a source of concern for Conexiones.
To meet the educational needs of Hispanic students at all levels, Conexiones helped initiate a number of programs to provide assistance and support to encourage students to complete high school, to consider higher education opportunities, and to be successful in their career choices. Conexiones has been an advocate for changes in the policies, practices, and personnel of the Howard County Public School System, for the purpose of improving the performance and the educational outcomes for Hispanic students.
Dr. Murray Simon served as its first president from its inception in 2000 until 2007. From 2007 through 2014, Feli Solá-Carter served as president of Conexiones. Xiomara Calderón-Colón and Maryann Perez Maher currently serve as co-presidents of Conexiones.
Below are some highlights in Conexiones history:
The first Conexiones Convocation took place in Kahler Hall in May 2002. Eleven Hispanic students were recognized and honored. All members of the Board of Education and Superintendent John O'Rourke were present. Parents of honorees and members of the community attended. The event was embellished with Spanish poetry, music, and dance.
Between the years 2002 and 2018, Conexiones recognized and honored over 772 Hispanic high school seniors in the various high schools in the County. Convocations were held in various high schools. The numerical range of honorees was from eleven to 85.
CONVOCATION guest speakers and entertainers have enriched each annual program. Among the guest speakers were Dr. Nancy Grasmick, State Superintendent of Department of Education in Maryland; neurosurgeon Surgeon Dr. Alfredo Quiñones; Luis Borunda, founder of United States Hispanic Youth Entrepreneurial Education; Dr. Rodolfo Fernández, a local physician; Rogelio Gómez, Associate Commissioner for International Policy at the Social Security Administration; Dr. Roberto Blanco, a physician and son of Virgilio Blanco; and, in 2008, Y. Maria Welch, Chair of the Governor's Commission on Hispanic Affairs, Carlos Lopez, President of the Maryland Society of Hispanic Engineers, Ernesto Garcia, Senior Public Affairs Officer, Social Security Administration; Jose A. Sanchez, Battalion Chief, Howard County Fire
Conexiones continuously monitors data released by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE). A "Report Card" containing data about each HCPSS school is provided to meet the requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). ESSA was signed into law in 2015, succeeding the No Child Left Behind Act.
For FY 2019, Hispanic/Latino students represented 11.3% of the total student population in the Howard County Public School System.
The current goals for Conexiones are:

On Monday, June 29, the new Our City Coalition will hold a rally, candidate speak-out and sleep-out starting at 5:30 PM at Hat 'n Boots (Oxbow) Park in Georgetown, 6430 Corson Ave S.
You're invited! RSVP on Facebook here.
Over a dozen candidates for city and county council will be there to speak about the crisis of homelessness and what must be done to end it.
In July 2005, with great fanfare, King County launched a "Ten Year Plan" to end homelessness. At the end of June 2015, those ten years come to a close. So, how are we doing?
The January 2015 One Night Count showed 3,772 homeless people were sleeping on the street without adequate shelter, an increase of 20% over last year. Including those in shelters and transitional housing, over 10,000 people in King County are known to be homeless. This is unacceptable. We can do better.
With this event we will be marking the end of the Ten Year Plan – and the beginning of real solutions to homelessness, solutions that start with homeless people and community allies, organizing, advocating, and helping ourselves and each other.
The rally and speak-out will begin at 6:30 PM, preceded by a community meal at 5:30 PM, and followed by an overnight sleep-out. We invite supporters and candidates to spend the night! Mats and blankets will be provided.
The following morning, Tuesday, June 30, the Our City Coalition (formerly Occupy CEHKC) will proceed to march to the Governing Board Meeting of the Committee to End Homelessness, 8:30 AM, 6737 Corson Ave S.

A sheriff's deputy rescued a man whose boat was sinking on a Bayfield County Lake on Tuesday.
Deputy Andrew Mika responded to a 911 call reporting the incident on Perch Lake in the Town of Drummond at 1:19 p.m. The caller reported that the boat sank about 70 yards from shore at the Perch Lake Campground and that the man in the boat was not wearing a lifejacket.
Mika, who was the first to arrive on the scene, put on his lifejacket and swam out to the victim. The boat was almost submerged except for a few inches of the bow, with the victim laying on top of the boat.
The man told Mika that he was weak, couldn't move, and was stiff. Mika pulled the boat anchor out of the lake and put it in the boat.
He then pushed the boat to shore with one hand while he used the other hand and his legs to swim.
The man, a Grand View resident whose name and age were not released, was taken by ambulance to Memorial Medical Center for treatment of injuries that are not life-threatening.
Besides Deputy Mika, Drummond Fire and Rescue, Iron River Fire, and a Wisconsin DNR Warden also responded to the scene.

Horse-Drawn Carriage Controversy in Charleston
January 26, 2017781 Views
Within the last year, horse-drawn carriages in Charleston have reached more publicity for their notorious accidents than ever before. Used for scenic historic tours of downtown Charleston, the horses' work load are bound by the number of tourists, a number that Charleston does not lack in. The tourism department has flourished in the last few years, promoting the several horse-drawn carriage companies in Charleston to increase the number of tours. These companies include names such as Old South Carriage Company, Palmetto Carriage Works, Carolina Polo & Carriage Works, and Classic Carriage Works, LLC, all of which have established their presence downtown and promote trademarks such as "Look for the Red Sash". Yet, as Charleston expands in the tourism industry, controversies are sparked over the ethical treatment of the horses and a call for strict regulations has been enacted by many. Whether there were more undocumented incidents occurring years ago, the following controversies have been concentrated and have reached publicity more frequently in the previous months, despite proposals to help the "urban horses". PETA and other local individuals have advocated for extreme restrictions on the companies, yet they claim the horses are treated well and that they receive time off in rural, more comfortable areas inland. The following timeline describes the recent incidents surrounding the industry:
July 28, 2006- Carriage Horse Safety Committee pushes for regulations in the carriage industry, such as lower temperature limits and earlier cutoff times
July 19, 2011- 20-30 members of the horse carriage industry in Charleston meet to add amendments to the City Ordinance, covering the care of carriage horses on and off duty
July 16, 2015- Carriage horse collapses on East Bay St after a truck spooked him; crowd surrounds the horse and cheers him to his feet
July 29, 2016- Charleston officials plan to review treatment of carriage horses after receiving over 50 complaints in a 2 month span
August 28, 2016- Bystander Zoe Bergmann uploads a photo of "Berry", a horse who "threw a shoe" and went the length of a street with a bleeding hoof; Post receives 6,000 shares on Facebook
August 31, 2016- Classic Carriage Works accused of mistreatment of "Berry", as they "proceeded try and quickly rip off the shoe with no tools or compassion"
December 14, 2016- City committee meets to lower temperature limit from 98 to 95 degrees, heat index from 125 degrees to 110 degrees; yielded a 5-1 vote, putting the regulations into action
January 18, 2017- Horse from Palmetto Carriage Works collapses onto its knees at 10:30 at the corner of King St and South Battery St
January 18, 2017- Horse from Old South Carriage company steps backwards after a light turned green, causing the rear end of the carriage to bump into the hood of a trailing car
January 25, 2017- Mayor Tecklenburg shares his State of the City address, highlighting upon several issues facing Charleston, including "lower temperature limits for carriage horses"

Denzel Washington recently appeared on Instagram Live with Brooklyn Pastor A.R. Bernard of Christian Cultural Center to talk about his relationship with God and his faith journey. Washington, who is devout Christian, shared that he had given his life to Christ three times when he was younger, Fox News reported. The Academy Award-winning actor described […]
In a television season stymied by the writers strike, "Reaper" emerged as a rare critical hit for The CW. "Reaper"'s blend of comedy and demonology has echoes of cult hit, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." But despite rave reviews, "Reaper" remained on the bubble for renewal until this week. So, what makes the show so tough for audiences to embrace?
"Reaper" begins with a horrific premise. Parents fighting for their own survival pledged their first-born son, Sam (Brett Harrison), to the devil (played with plenty of guile by Ray Wise). When Sam achieves independence at age 21, the devil calls in his contract. How can Sam pay off his debt? By serving as a reaper, sending escaped souls back to hell. In each episode, the devil presents Sam with a vessel to capture a delinquent soul. Vessels have ranged from a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner to a Polaroid camera. The captured souls are then dropped off at the gateway to hell—a DMV office!
What do I like about "Reaper"? The comic book sensibility blends broad humor with supernatural digital effects. It captures the dead end existence of a Home Depot-style job. Sam and his friends Sock and Ben are caught in their own personal hell at the Workbench. Their manic energy feels utterly natural. The dark premise is counterbalanced by the trio's small, quirky victories.
What keeps viewers away? "Reaper" is almost a complete inversion of "Touched By An Angel." Instead of helping a weekly guest star, Sam serves as the devil's bounty hunter. While he rids the earth of plenty of evil, Sam must also consign people to hell. That is a heavy subject for a comedy. Yet, the devil's desperate attempts are always leavened by surprising truths. He is disarmed by pacifism. The devil's power vanishes in the face of true love.
Producers Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters keep the show anchored in big secrets. "Reaper"'s subplot involves an ongoing rebellion against the devil. On the personal side, the show suggests that Sam may be dating the devil's daughter. But what if Sam turns out to be the devil's son? Thankfully, these haunting questions can play out during a second season. Tune in Tuesday (after "American Idol"!) for the season finale.

Some of the best outdoor toys for kids and toddlers can offer hours and days of fun in the sun. Spending more time outdoors is a proven way to improve cardiovascular health, bone health and even the vision of kids. It is why it may even be even more important to encourage kids to play outdoors than parents would expect. But for this to happen, kids need to have attractive toys to play with as they will entice time to spend more time outside the house.

A few characteristics of the best outdoor toys for kids and toddlers
All outdoor toys are different. From climbing toys to sports-inspired toys, kids can have their choice of fun solution for the playtime. However, parents need to ensure they are ready to purchase outdoor toys.
Age restrictions apply to all outdoor toys. An inflatable pool has different restrictions compared to a golf set. According to law, the toys need to clarify specifically the age group they are made for. Parents need to respect the indications of the manufacturer for safety purposes.
The installation process of outdoor toys might require assembly. Most toys which require assembly may already come with included tools. Others might need additional tools such as inflatable toys which may require a special inflation pump to install.
Learning curve
There is a learning curve with every toy. Since outdoor toys tend to be larger, kids might take more time to master them properly. However, having fun during the process is the best way to learn. The following outdoor toys combine fun with creative play and are specifically made to be used outside the home.
Top 30 Best Outdoor Toys for Kids & Toddlers 2020
1. Little Tikes Spiralin' Seas Waterpark Play Table
Editor's Rating:
Design features
Made from quality materials, the Waterpark Play Table is built to last. But maybe at least as important is its unique design. Recommended for kids 6 and up the waterpark is a top choice for the hot summer days. It allows kids to creatively play with water while learning a few things about what makes water move and how certain objects float on water.
At nearly 12 pounds, it is not too heavy to move from location to location. Of course, due to its nature, is simply advisable to install it in the back yard. It is here that toddlers can develop their put and take skills, hand-eye coordination and even play with other kids. With an included water cup and 5 character balls, kids have all the tools to play with the toy. Of course, parents need to offer a helping hand with the water. Up to 7 gallons of water can be added to the toy for the ultimate playing experience.
Convenient features
All the elements on the waterpark can be interacted with by the kids. Its biggest attraction is the central spiral which allows kids to drop the floating balls and see them go round and round until touching the water. Once the balls reach the water, they can actually be scooped out. But doing this by hand would not be too fun. It is why the toy comes with an added Ferris wheel which is turned and which scoops every ball individually. There is a twin water funnel as well. It is powered by water which is poured into the funnel. Kids have everything needed to make the toy convenient to play with from balls to a pouring cup.

Editor's Rating:
Design features
Even back in 1984, the Bubble Thing was invented to entertain kids. Today, it is still as easy and as fun to use outside of the house. Instead of coming with a compact design fit for the pocket, it comes with a large design which aims to offer the most impressive balloons which will mesmerize kids every time they are seen.
Convenient features
The Bubble Thing only needs warm water, a bucket, and some soap to create its magic. Kids can make the balloons themselves and they can start mastering the art of creating larger and larger balloons. There are a few bubbles which can be created with patience. This includes tunnels, double bubbles, bubbles within bubbles, and even kids in bubbles. Practically, there is no outdoor toy to match it for its fun and affordability, not even mentioning its durability.
The wand itself is small. With a bucket of water, kids can enjoy the bubbles at the back of their house or even in the park. Shortly after making a few balloons on different weather, kids will realize the perfect elements which allow these balloons to impress even further. For example, warm water melts the soap faster which allows kids to create the balloons faster. Colder days with higher humidity might also favor their balloons integrity for a longer period of time. But most importantly, soap balloons can be created on any type of weather when it's not raining and the concentration needed during the process means kids can relax and forget about their day for a while when with friends or with their families.
Those seeking an affordable and fun outdoor toy can find the Bubble Thing to offer the most versatility both at home and away from home.

4. Strider – 12 Sport Balance Bike
Editor's Rating:
Design features
With a simplified design, the bike goes back to basics. It addresses a few of the issues of modern kids' bikes by making it suitable for all kids. In fact, it can be even used before kids are even able to master their walking. It is why the Strider bike is often used by kids as young as one. In fact, its design is suitable for the ages of 18 months to 5 years. Its versatile design means the bike grows with the kid. It comes with an adjustable handlebar. A height-adjustable saddle has also been added. There are no required tools to make these adjustments. The good news is kids can also be safe on the bike with its padded handlebar.
Convenient features
All parents are impressed by the bike. As it comes with no training wheels, it puts kids directly in the middle of the action. The bike can be used around the house or even while out shopping. Without disturbing kid leashes and with no extra helping wheels, kids can actually keep the pace with adults.
At a weight of just 6.7lbs, the little bike is easy to carry and maneuverable for children. They don't have to choose heavy bikes which would only put extra pressure on their small muscles. But the bike even comes with durable wheels. There are no possible flats with the foam wheels. With built-in footrests, kids can stand or cycle at their own pace.
But the adjustability of the bike is also impressive. Parents can set the handlebar to a height between 46 and 56cm. The seat height can be adjusted from 28 to 48cm. This also means parents can save money on the bike. Since kids won't outgrow their bikes too soon, it means they'll have the ability to choose the design which suits their height as they grow to the age of 5.
Another interesting fact comes with the fact that Strider doesn't actually categorize their bikes by age. It uses inseam to offer the perfect fit for happy kids on their bike. Inseam is mainly considered by professional bikers but it is actually what can determine the 12 Sport Bike's fit for the kids. Parents who are unsure of the inseam can actually measure it at home by themselves. Kids need to be in the shoes and with their back against the wall. A book is then placed between the legs and raised until it reaches the crotch seam of the pants. In this position, the inseam is the total length from the top of the book to the floor. This measurement can also be used to purchase other kids' bike for the perfect fit.
With a practical design, this adjustable bike grows with the kids, offering a quick learner design with no training wheels required.
- Made with unique versatility
- Based on inseam height adjustability
- Only weighs 3kg
- Suitable for ages as low as 18 months
- Improves strength and coordination

While playing in direct sunlight might not be the best choice for kids with sensitive skin, parents can rest assured the conveniently included umbrella can go a long way from this perspective. There is an included drain plug which kids or parents can use to release the water once their fun has finished. The added table cover can also keep the sand and water clean for a longer period of time and it can even allow the table to be left out when it's raining.
With a sturdy design, the table can also be moved from location to location by a single person. Of course, the umbrella would need to be removed when moving the table. But the good news is that since kids don't need to play on the floor, the table can be placed around the yard or even on the deck. The fact that it can also work with multiple sand and water toys can only mean there are extra hours of fun to be had by the little ones.

7. Diggin Slimeball Dodgetag
Editor's Rating:
Design features

It is why kids need to develop their aiming skills and coordination skills to actually score points.
The Slimeballs don't leave any marks on the kids' clothes, which will see happy parents at the end of the day. But having to wear the vests and having to find the best strategies to win points why avoiding the opponent's efforts is what makes this game fun.
Convenient features
Supporting two players, the game can be a timeless approach to outdoor fun. It can be played in the yard, in the park or while camping. Of course, the actual Slimeballs are soft. They will not hurt the opponent if they miss their target. But how do kids actually master the game? Playing the game is easy but becoming really good at it is where kids need to put in a bit of extra effort. Dodging the shots of the opponent, hiding behind a tree or simply getting lower towards the ground can all be techniques used both in defense and when trying to score points. Kids can have their own fun outdoors where they can put these strategies into practice.
Of course, there are only two vests which ship with the game. So if kids plan to play with more friends, they would need the extra vests to include everybody in the game. 4 sticky balls are also shipped with the vests. They are durable and easy to clean at the end of the game with a bit of soap and water.
For safety and coordination purposes, the game is mainly recommended to kids ages 6 and up. Of course, it is actually safe since kids can't hurt themselves with the squeeze balls. For most players, it can actually be an opportunity to practice sprinting outside the house.

How to buy the best outdoor toys for kids and toddlers
Buying the next outdoor toys for the kids is exciting. With so many fun options, parents can already visualize the fun their kids can have. However, there are a few general guidelines which can lead to the best outdoor toys for kids and toddlers.
Number of players
The number of players who can interact with a game is crucial. It's one thing playing alone and totally another thing playing in a group. It is why if there are multiple kids in the family, it is advisable to integrate all of them in an outdoor game to improve communication and bonding. At the same time, some toys are best used individually, such as a toddler's learner biker.
Age range
The age range of a child dictates the type of toys parents can look for. Of course, the lines get blurry in time and toys as toys are made for various ages. However, these indications are important as the toys need to be easy to play with for the kids. Building a sand castle can be among the first experiences for a toddler why a kid older than 6 might be already looking towards going outside and jumping on board for the latest tricks.
Type of activity
The types of activities are impressive for outdoor play time. Kids can build things, they can splash in a mini pool, they can shoot plastic balls, they can cycle or they can even drive a small car. These options are great for most kids as they offer a different playing experience than they usually have inside. It is why parents should avoid purchasing toys which actually can be used inside as kids are already familiar with them. For this reason, it is advisable to make the most of the large open space and allow kids to get extra sun exposure.
Storage options
All toys eventually end-up in storage during the winter or when not in use. But since some outdoor toys are larger than others, parents need to find the right storage place. Of course, carrying a sand table inside might not be something parents would actually want to do. It is why it's crucial to find the right storage options ahead of the purchase.
Some toys can only do one thing. Others combine multiple toys. Of course, no option is truly better than the other, rather than actually being just different. It is why the toys need to be made in a way in which they allow for maximum results and plenty of fun. In this case, versatile designs prove to be worth the investment.
However, parents can also consider versatile multi-player designs for their kids as they can even play together. At the same time, versatile tools can also be the focus of a children's party. It can also be the case that versatile toys keep kids occupied for longer. But this is not to say that a bike needs to be anything more than a bike. It just depends on what parents consider to complete the toy collection with.
Final considerations
Some of the best outdoor toys for kids and toddlers are made to meet increasing safety standards. Since outdoor toys are typically larger, parents need to be careful about their child's safety from a different perspective. If inside the home, small toy parts are the enemy, outside the hose it's the actual speed and size of the toys which can create problems for the little ones.
But selecting the right toy might also mean exposing the kid to a few bruises here and there, especially with sports-based toys. This doesn't mean these toys are not great. Even more, they can teach kids a few things about team spirit, tactics, and coordination. They can also build better physical strength which is crucial as they grow.
Some toys also come with a creative or educational side. It is why they might need to be chosen according to a range of parameters such as locomotor development. Other toys might boost the creative side such as toys which require kids to build something. Climbing toys can be a great addition to a child's collection as they are not to be used inside the house.
A teeter-totter can be an interesting choice for a long period of time. But as long as kids have a playing partner, most toys can be fun and interesting. However, as kids grow they need different types of toys. It is best for the parents to match one of the above toys with the child's personality or interests as this is what ultimately makes the product a fun toy to play with.

Prosper at age 13 on the North Dakota prairies
Prosper was a very wide running dog who would always show to the front. And, above all, he was a bird finder. I remember well training on the prairies one summer when Prosper was in his prime. Dr. Boser and I had been running derbies for much of the morning, and we hadn't found a single bird. The weather was hot, and we were heading back to the horse trailer to call it a day. When we got back to the trailer, we decided that we couldn't head back to camp without any birds. So, Roger put Prosper on the ground, the same grounds we had just run 2 braces of derbies through with no birds. Prosper had 4 finds in 30 minutes, and was wide and moving forward when Roger went to reel him in.Prosper was a genuine bird dog, who lived to hunt and work for his boss. He was truly one of the great ones. The National Red Setter Field Trial Club extends condolences to Dr. Roger and Mary Boser. The great ones always seem to leave us too soon.
