A. afarensis is the species made famous by the "Lucy" skeleton discovered by Donald Johanson in 1974 in the Hadar region of Ethiopia. Previously, researchers had fossilized remains of the spine, hips, and knees of A. afarensis and developed a theory about how the species moved based on those fossilized remains. Researchers believed that A. afarensis was bipedial (walked upright on two feet, like humans).
Until recently the theory that A. afarensis was bipedal lacked certainty because while researchers were confident that the spine, hips, and knees supported the bipedal theory, A. afarensis foot bones had never been found. Without the foot bones, the researchers could not confirm just how the species walked, or how much it relied on walking.
|Source: Anthropology.net
In addition to supporting the bipedal theory, the foot bone and the fact that it is arched shows that A. afarensis would have been able to move quickly and easily on two feet. The arches in feet serve to help the foot move the body forward, and act as a "shock absorber" each time the feet pound the ground. The fact that A. afarensis had arched feet makes it even more similar to the anatomy of modern humans showing an important link in the evolution of upright walking.
I think this is such a great example of how science changes and revises itself because it showcases how very specific details and pieces of information can shape entire theories. In this case, finding the fossilized metatarsal bone confirmed a theory and also shed more light on how the species would have walked, providing additional information. It is a good example of science changing - and getting better.

Sidefari - Web browsing companion for Safari 17+
Francisco Cantu
- Free
- Offers In-App Purchases
Sidefari is a simple web browser that is designed to act as a companion to Safari.
Sidefari uses what's called a Safari View Controller from Apple to display a "mini" version of Safari that shares many features with the full Safari app, like content blockers. How can this help you?
In iOS 10:
Sidefari features an extension called "Open Modally in Safari" that will enable you to bring a Safari-based window inside of other apps that enable ways to share website URLs. Why would you want to do this? Perhaps you prefer the convenience of having some Safari features inside the same app, or if you're conscious about your privacy perhaps you don't want to use the custom web browser many apps have.
** Please note that in order for Sidefari to work in iOS 10, you need version 10.2 or greater.
In iOS 9:
When on an iPad, besides the "Open Modally in Safari" extension mentioned above, Sidefari shows as an extra Safari-based browser on the side of your screen thanks to multi-tasking. Now you'll be able to have two websites simultaneously on the same screen.
** Please note that compatible iPads include the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and iPad Pro.
Please refer to the "How to set up the extension" and "FAQ" sections inside the app to learn more about how to use Sidefari.
What's New
Version 1.2.1
Due to popular demand, Sidefari is back! Thank you all for your support!
+ The app is now free with optional patronage in the form of a tip jar
+ New screen to help set up the extension
+ The "Open Modally in Safari" extension now works again in iOS 10.2 or greater
What was fixed in 1.2.1? A nasty crasher! Sorry about that!
Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Great app, fills in for devs who still haven't built in SVC support
I love Sidefari on both my phone and tablet. It's a great bridge for those apps that don't have SVC support (I use it with Launch Center Pro and my Reddit app, primarily).
Only thing I'd request is an iPhone X update!
Missed this app!
I loved this app in iOS9! I like that you can have all the ad blockers and such turned on and use this app to open webpages using those features in apps that have a built-in browser (i.e. Twitter).
So happy it's back!!
I use this with any app that doesn't support safari view controller so I can have the fastest browsing experience, without any plugins or trackers.

New York Times is as liberal as one can get. Dutifully criticizing the intelligence of Bush administration, it venerates the need of White House warnings. Elitism be dead. Long live the elites!
Regarding the much touted North Korean nuclear programs, the most trusted Daily editorializes:
"The North Koreans had and have an illicit nuclear arms program….. If that's not bad enough, consider some frightening truths. There is no doubt that Iran is moving ever closer to mastering the skills it will need to produce the fuel for a nuclear weapon — and blithely defying the Security Council's demand that it stop. But even America's closest European allies have little stomach for a showdown with Tehran, while Russia and China have strong economic incentives to look the other way. Which means that Washington is the only one left out there to warn the world about the dangers of a nuclear-capable Iran. Make no mistake: there are real and present dangers out there. But who still believes warnings from this White House?"
Ooops…did we read that right? Of the liberal press claims about the need for warning from Washington. Yes, there are "real and present dangers" as NYT suggests, but a cursory look at current international relations would suffice to hand over the warrants to "in here" before warning us of dangers "out there".
Iraq, Iran, North Korea are apparently the insane, mad, barbaric, and dangerous countries because they have a nuclear agenda where they do not seek blessings of the western powers, rendering their programs to be of some unproven sort. So unproven that, when CIA's lies gets caught. the national media then treat it as a side story of no consequence, performing its role as fourth estate accomplice. And yet, America and the big powers of Europe are clearly the divine lots in the nuclear club since they are the pronounced pundits of nuclearism!
Along with the McDonaldization of hegemonic ideas, other normalizing factors numbing one's intelligence at this juncture relates to this all-illusive nuclear club. What exactly is this holy alliance all about? What would lead a smart, informed team of editors at newspapers like NYT not to mention for once that, whereas it is highly deplorable that we underestimate the nuclear agenda of potential N-club members, it is equally imperative that the founding members and board members of this club first be warned about their aggrandizing status as unchecked war-mongers. That, there is no such thing as "illicit" nuclear program, and "legal" nuclear program, and the press has a certain sense of responsibility to uphold fairness before reinforcing such stereotypes that apply the western countries in one manner and the uncouth ones in another (illicit) way. Had United Nations given permission to the existing club members to build nuclear weapons, let alone go to war against sovereign countries?
That, the "real and present dangers" are not so much in suspected quarters of ravished Iraq, enraged Iran or taunted North Korea, as they are in evident military business operations of the very country houses New York Times, and that unashamedly continues to harass occupied territories, whose officers are charged with countless rapes on hapless and innocent citizens, and which refuses to even lower its defense budget in view of its utter failure to prove its legality, claims and whose intents to warn countries before invading them is by itself malapropos.
Its not a "Suddenly Convenient Truth" regarding North Korea that rattles NYT. Indeed, quite the contrary. Such criticism of Bush administrations are suddenly convenient perspectives taken for sake of partisan comforts in an opportunistic parliamentary democracy. The inconvenient truth perhaps was uttered by Albert Camus decades back: "I would like to love my country and still love justice".

New wine dinner dates at Hotel Du Vin -Save £'s with your Gastro Card
Join our friends at Hotel Du Vin as you journey through wine regions, sampling top wines, perfectly matched with fine food. No expertise required – leave that to them!
California vs Burgundy Wine Dinner – Friday 1st July £85 – Save £10 only £75 with your Gastro Card
With Jackson Family Wines and Bouchard Pere et Fils
A 'Judgement of Paris' 40th Anniversary Celebration
In 1976 Steven Spurrier, a British Wine Merchant in Paris, carried out a blind tasting competition with a select group of Parisian wine experts. It was to be an amusing aside as top cuvees from Burgundy and Bordeaux were pitched against some 'cooking wine' from California. What happened next was far from a joke. A Californian wine came first in every category. The tasting caused a huge scandal that paved the way for the rightful recognition and growth of the New World wines we enjoy today around the globe.
As a nod to this iconic tasting we'll be joined by two fantastic wine producers. Jackson Family Wines from California will be putting their wines to the test against the equally wonderful Bouchard Pere et Fils from Burgundy for a bit of fun in Birmingham.
Four courses, 8 wines and a little champagne to get us started. Surely we will all be winners on this unique evening of gastronomic delight!?
Just £85, inclusive of a four course dinner with canapés and eight blockbuster wines.
Please call the Events Team on 0121 794 3005 or drop them an email enquiry to firstname.lastname@example.com to book or find out more.
Special accommodation rates are available on request from the team, for those attending our dinner events.

Nabila Rahhal
Nabila Rahhal writes for Executive magazine, which covers business and economic issues in Lebanon and the Middle East.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A few months ago, a tiny car carrying a big message rolled into 26 cities and towns across Lebanon.
The Smart car was covered with images of a driver's license, a diploma, a utility meter, and a gavel, and embossed in Arabic, Dek kenet el balad ("The city's store where everything is for sale"). The drivers would park the car in front of government administration offices to shine a light on the corruption that greases almost every government transaction here.
The Kabseh car (it means "surprise visit") was the work of a new NGO here called Sakker el Dekkene ("close the store"). Their goal was not just to shame bureaucrats. It was also to collect data. Sakker el Dekkene has launched a smartphone app, website and telephone hotline for citizens to report when they've needed to pay a bribe in order to conduct government business. People exiting the government offices stopped at Kabseh to report 920 bribes, including some they'd paid just moments before.
Sakker el Dekkene's crowd-sourced platforms give Lebanese their first means of quantifying a scourge that is all around them. Citizens report the city where their bribe took place, which government office was responsible and the amount of the bribe. While the data are far from comprehensive and hard to verify—most users opt to remain anonymous—the reports paint a grim picture. In six months, nearly 1,550 reports have been filed, with the total value of bribes paid adding up to 2.1 billion Lebanese Lira ($1.4 million U.S.).
The goal of this data collection is to build public pressure on government to change. On its website, Sakker el Dekkene lists the most bribe-hungry agencies as its "champions of corruption." The Ministry of Interior currently gets the "trophy" with 615 reports; the Ministry of Finance and Lebanon's municipalities come in second and third.
"In order to really fight corruption, all citizens should be enabled to take action," says Abdo Medlej, a co-founder of Sakker el Dekkene and until recently its president. "But for them to do so, you have to give them the tools."
The platform's users aren't sure it will make a difference anytime soon. But they think transparency is an important first step to making change possible.
One of them is Rabih, a man in his 50s whose job is to process government transactions on behalf of people who pay him to do it for them (a common line of work here). Rabih, who did not want his last name used, says he frequently pays minor bribes—otherwise, he could not get anything done for his clients. He now reports every case. "It will not change corruption in Lebanon, as I believe it is a part of us now," says Rabih, who guesses he's Sakker el Dekkene's biggest user. "But at least people will have statistics on the levels of corruption, and be aware of the terrible situation they are living in."
Cynthia Bou Aoun, a lawyer in her thirties, says she used the Sakker el Dekkene app once, when one of her employees was asked to pay a bribe to speed up some paperwork. "The app helps me feel I can make at least a small difference in the fight against corruption," she says, "though I know that it is a fight that takes years."
If they sound cynical, it's because government here has historically been so unaccountable to its people. Citizens do not have easy access to their municipalities or even to their elected officials to have complaints heard. Frustrations build up within individuals, who may blow off steam about it with friends, but to no effect.
The widespread use of smart phones, however, has inspired some in Lebanese civil society to create new crowdsourced channels to pressure unresponsive bureaucrats. Sakker el Dekkene is one of them. Another is Waffir, a mobile app launched about a year and a half ago by the Muhanna Foundation.
Waffir is targeted at a very specific type of government failing: It allows users to report street lights that are either wrongly lit during the day or unlit at night. It's the brainchild of the foundation's board chairman, Ibrahim E. Muhanna, who had begun noticing lit lamps wasting electricity during the daytime—even as Lebanon suffers from an acute power shortage that causes power to be cut off daily.
Muhanna built Waffir (it means "use less") to make it easy to report these cases. As citizens report faulty street lights, the phone's GPS pinpoints the exact location, allowing Muhanna to compile the reports into a map. Waffir users reported more than 500 faulty street lights in the app's first three months. "There are many people who will find a fault but not know who to report it to," Muhanna says. "So the idea is really to facilitate reporting."
Municipalities are responsible for street lights in Lebanon. Once a week, the Muhanna Foundation faxes a report to the head of the appropriate municipality. If the same light is still reported as wrongly lit a week later, Muhanna sends a warning. By the third warning, if no action is taken by the municipality, the foundation notifies the Ministry of Interior, which heads all the municipalities. If by the fourth week Waffir users are still reporting on the same light, Muhanna claims that they will go to the media to publicly shame the municipality.
While interest in Waffir has been promising, it's also shown the difficulty of turning crowd-sourced data into responsive government action. Muhanna admits the foundation doesn't have the manpower to follow up on every street light report. So with any case, it's impossible to know whether a municipality actually fixed the light or a user simply gave up on reporting it. Muhanna also admits that while some municipalities have reached their fourth warning, he has not yet followed through on the threat to go to the media.
Sustaining public interest in using the app is also a challenge. After an initial surge of publicity and social media buzz produced a wave of street-light reports, the app now receives only seven reports a week. However, downloads of the app tick up every time Muhanna makes a public appearance to talk about it. The foundation is planning a campaign to create more regular publicity for Waffir. That includes sending text messages to people age 18 to 30—the group Muhanna feels will use Waffir the most—introducing them to the app or reminding them to use it.
"What we found out," Muhanna says, "is that people initially like the novelty of the application. But then it seems they lose interest after around two months."
These are lessons Sakker el Dekkene is aware of. Although the ideas behind these crowd-sourced applications are powerful, Medlej explains that users need to feel that the act of reporting is important, even if it doesn't lead to immediate change.
For Sakker el Dekkene, that means giving citizens the ability to build the evidence base, to pressure government into admitting that corruption is rampant. The NGO's long-term goal is to propose to the government new legislation aimed at fighting corruption. "What we can do is apply enough pressure on the government for it to want to fight corruption," Medlej says. "Real change is a long-term process."
Sakker el Dekkene is also aware that for crowd-sourcing to work, promotion of its app needs to be continuous. The Kabseh car was an effective tool to get that started. As the car traveled around Lebanon, volunteers held group talks and street events to get people talking about how corruption affects their lives. In addition to rounding up bribery reports, the campaign whipped up a fair amount of local media coverage from town to town. The campaign has also visited universities, schools and shopping malls to get the word out.
While older Lebanese are inclined to believe that government officials will always be crooks, the younger generation is more optimistic. Not surprisingly, young adults make up the bulk of Sakker el Dekkene's users, as well as its volunteers.
One of those volunteers, a 23-year old named Rami, says he hasn't yet experienced corruption himself. But he says exposing corruption is important to making change possible.
"Sakker el Dekkene's app can be a catalyst in fighting corruption if they keep up with the pressure and momentum that they began with," Rami says. "We should encourage everyone to use the app and explain its importance in the fight against corruption in order to have quantifiable data to pressure those in power to change."

Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?

Leonard Peltier is a Native American activist wrongfully accused in 1975 in connection with the shooting deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The Master-Christian
Marie Corelli (1 May 1855 – 21 April 1924) was a British novelist. She enjoyed a period of great literary success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until World War I. Corelli's novels sold more copies than the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling, although critics often derided her work as "the favourite of the common multitude."[1]

I read blogs in Google Reader to fall alseep almost every night. I used to suffer from a lot of insomnia, but something about reading stuff on my iPhone in bed in the dark makes me sleepy.
Last night I read the New Years Day post on Another Mother Runner. Which opened with this photo.
There couldn't have been better words to inspire me for the 20 miles on the schedule for the morning. The content of the post was good, but it was these words that really stuck with me.
I've pretty much been off my training schedule for almost a month. I injured my back on December 8th and ran just 20 miles from then until the end of the month. I missed some long runs, and some middle of the week runs. Holiday events, multiple church services, family in town to hang out with and so much else just made it hard. I realized one reason it's difficult to train through December. But I don't even know if I would have run 20 miles if I wasn't training, so I suppose that was a good thing.
I ran 18 awful miles early in December. Technically, I could have called that my longest run and moved on. But I really wanted a 20-mile training run. Plus I needed to redeem that awful 18 miler. Bean and I determined that today was the best day for my long run. The last day of our vacation. It was hard for me not to log miles on January 1st--the first day of the year, but I figured that 20 miles on the 2nd would make up for not running on the first day of 2012.
So this morning I woke a little after 6am, while the rest of my family enjoyed sleeping in on the last day of vacation. I ate peanut butter & banana toast and drank my coffee and headed out shortly after 7am. I decided to run from home, even though my route would include some hills that challenged me during my 16-miler.
I changed up my route a bit, so I didn't have AS many hills and I benefited from the downhills of the hills I ran up.
Since I hadn't done a long run for 3 weeks, and not much running at all, I decided to do 5 minute run/1 minute walk intervals. I thought it would give my body a bit of a break and hopefully help me not crash like I did with 18 miles. I think the strategy was a good one and I'm toying with running some of the marathon that way.
I could attempt a mile-by-mile review, but that would be too long and probably boring.
Here's what went right:
I felt pretty strong up until the last 4 or 5 miles, but still finished strong the last 2 miles
My back didn't bother me at all, yay!
I was able to refill my water bottles at the right time
I finished! I finished 20 miles. Last time I could barely run down the hill that is 2 miles from home. This time I totally did. In fact I realized I was running too fast because one knee was starting to hurt and the other quad started seizing, so I had to slow it up!
No BodyGlide on my feet and NO blisters!! (yay for new shoes: Mizuno Wave 7's)
My sister met me for 3 miles at the lake
Nuun. I love it. I was dreaming of Nuun and an ice bath at the end.
Things that need work:
I still went out too fast...especially since miles 2-4 were almost completely uphill
I applied BodyGlide as always, but still had some unfortunate chafing, which hasn't happened in a long time
It got HOT about 9:30. And I was running the lake at that time, which gets an extra beating of the sun. The heat really played a factor in my last hour. We are having unseasonably warm weather. I hope it breaks in the next 20 days.
I don't think I timed my nutrition very well...waited too long
My 20 miles finished .75 from home! Bad math :( I'm sure the cool down walk was good for my body, but still wanted to be home ASAP
I have some issue on the inside of my left knee. It feels like a bruise, but happened the last few miles. I iced tonight, so hopefully that will help
The mile alerts were turned off, and I rely on those to see where I'm at
And my favorite, random experience...
After I finished 20 miles and started walking, I turned my belt around to access my phone easily. Which put the attached water bottles around the back, and I finished the .75 miles that way. It wasn't bothering me while walking, but apparently the bottles put pressure on my back while walking, bruising it. Seriously, I get the award for stupid injuries!
I finished my run just under 4 hours. I was out there longer, paused my watch at lights and a few short breaks, water refills etc. I had wanted to have an average pace around 11:00, but it was 11:30. BUT, I'm not bummed. I'm still happy with it. My lack of running for 3 weeks, plus the hills, plus maybe a few holiday pounds, all play into it--and I'm just proud I finished and I didn't feel completely wrecked. That was the goal.
My watch didn't pick up my mile splits, which I'm bummed about, I think I turned them off when I set the intervals. I need to experiment and make sure they work together before the race.
I'm going to do this. I'm going to run 26.2 miles. I am SO getting that sticker for my car.
I believe I can, so I will.

Last Thursday my little old blog turned one, can you believe it? It sounds so cheesy but I am still humbled by every page view, comment and follower. I'm every bit as excited as I was on day one – some days ten times more!
During the past year I've noticed that a considerable amount of my friends/colleagues who have taken the plunge or are considering starting their own blog. And also several who have abandoned the idea completely because they don't think they're 'good enough'. Personally, I don't think there is such thing as being 'good enough' to blog, like everything else in life you learn as you go along!
So if you're thinking about starting a blog or already have and are questioning your abilities – keep reading for my top three reasons to start your own blog!
You become part of a community
There is no doubt about it, starting your own blog is definitely very scary. What if no one reads it? What if no one likes it? These were just some of the thoughts swimming around in my head when I first started, and I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking this way!
Soon enough though you'll come to see that blogging is an incredibly friendly community full of lovely people just waiting to give you advice and spur you on. I'll always remember how helpful Kate was when I first started my blog – answering all my emails, giving me tips of her own and to this day I'm still in touch and incredibly grateful for her continued support.
As well as chatting to bloggers online your blog also gives you the opportunity to attend specialist events and these are a great way to actively get involved in the blog community. Where I live there is a group set up specifically for bloggers in my area and I've had the pleasure of meeting people whose paths I may never have otherwise crossed.
You improve your writing
Speak to just about any blogger and they'll tell you how much they cringe when reading their first posts. Your writing style is something that develops over time and it's incredible to look back over your work and see how far you've come. Without even thinking about it you tailor your writing to reflect your voice and that is what takes your blog to the next level.
Especially if you're interested in pursuing a writing based career, starting your own blog is excellent for improving your skills. And it's not only your writing that improves, but also a whole host of other things including your photography, organisation and business skills.
You gain a competitive edge
Some people choose to keep their blogs private and that is completely fine – after all it is your blog. However should you choose to include your blog on your LinkedIn, university applications etc you are giving yourself a huge advantage. Among other things your blog demonstrates your ability to effectively manage and grow your brand, establish yourself as an expert in your field and most importantly… it sets you apart!
In all of my job interviews since I've started to include my blog on my CV it has been a major talking point. It's intriguing to people and may just be the difference between you and the next candidate.
What do you think are good reasons to start a blog? Have you recently started a blog? Leave me a link so I can have a look!

A 50th Anniversary Reflection on the Greatness of Lenny Bruce
Chief among Bruce's peeves is hypocrisy of any stripe, and chief among his virtues is his constant willingness to cop to his own sordid contradictions.

|Ai Weiwei (photo courtesy of Hubert Virgilla)
Before the film Meryl Streep made a surprise appearance and introduced the film and Ai Weiwei. She spoke glowingly of the film before calling the director up to say a few words. His words were brief before we were plunged into darkness and the film began.
HUMAN FLOW is a record of Weiwei's year long journey around the globe looking at te refugee crisis in a dozen or so countries. From Iraq to Myanmar to Africa to Europe to the United States. Weiwei is on the ground and forcing us to see what is happening on a very human level. It is a film that overwhelms the senses as your head and heart and emotions are fully engaged for 140 minutes in ways few films will ever engage you.
The film is not a documentary in the conventional sense, but a long and loud emotional scream set loose upon a cinema screen. It is filmmaking at it's most visceral. Because Weiwei never lets us forget that the images are people, real people, the weight of the images and the sheer scale of the mass migration becomes crushing- it is too much at times and by the time the camera pulls back to reveal thousands upon thousands of life preservers on a Greek beach we are mentally and emotionally spent.
The power of the film is in the fact that Weiwei is clearly there in these places. He is often a participant not a just an observer. He helps to pull people from the ocean, he dances with the refugees and delights their children. He also makes the choice to reinforce the the reality of the situation by holding shot longer tan we have gotten in other films and by using drones to show the massive scale of the "flow". There is simply no way to ever think this could ever be made up or staged.
Personally by the time the film arrived at Calais and the Jungle camp I was past the breaking point and for a little bit I disengaged from the film. It was too much and too staggering, the simple and non-sensational (but incredibly beautiful) images had taken their toll.
I don't know what to say but the film is a masterpiece that is going to haunt me for a long while. It is a film that will rattle you and make you think (I will need some time to think about it and it's implications, hence the lack of discussion and only my gut reaction). It should, if at all possible, be seen on a big screen where the images will have the maximum impact because you can not look away or get distracted.
After the film Ai Weiwei returned to do a brief Q&A. He spoke of how he came to make the film and what he was trying to do. (The full Q&A can be seen below.)
Do yourself a favor and when HUMAN FLOW plays near you go see it and change how you see the world.
Thank you to Hubert Vigilla for the photograph at the top of the piece.

… she'll love to frolick around.
And if she's frolicking around, she'll be impossible to pose for a family photo.
And if she can't stay put for a family photo, at least you can get a candid shot.
And after you go for a long hike, your puppy will love the car ride home.
And if you play fetch after you get home, then you'll have a very tired pup.
And if you have a very tired pup? She'll sleep through the night.
And a puppy that sleeps through the night? Means a very happy puppy owner :)

Many of the abandoned homesteads I find out near 29 Palms aren't for sale, and you can't even figure out who owns them! But like yours here, the locations are often beautiful and secluded. Nice post!

By Kathy Santo | Updated: April 30 2019
Student's Question:
"Whenever I take my 70lb dog for a walk, she pulls so hard that I'm afraid the leash is going to break. My friends say I should get her a chain leash, but I love her skinny, pink, rhinestone-encrusted one because it matches her collar. Are any of the chain leashes decorative?"
Kathy's Answer:
So many things wrong with this situation, so few words to explain all of them in detail. Maybe we should start with the pink elephant in the living room, which is the fact that your dog is dragging you down the street, and the advice you've been given is not to train her but to get a stronger leash. While I agree that equipment can enhance your dog's training, the first thing you must do is seek out a dog training professional to teach you how to teach your dog to walk politely on a leash.
My school is in Waldwick, NJ, and if you live in the area, you should come to class sooner, rather than later. Training, when done with patience and consistency, combined with adequate exercise, will not only enhance your relationship with your dog, it will make your walks much more enjoyable.
But your question was about leashes, and I do feel very strongly that there is a proper leash for every dog. And while some functional leashes are decorative, yours is (at the moment) a case of form before function. Attempting to walk a 70lb, untrained dog on a decorative leash is the equivalent of walking her on a piece of linguini. That leash would be better suited for a smaller dog that would never entertain the idea of pulling.
The laws of physics come into play here, and in my opinion, the stronger the dog, the wider the leash should be in order to give you more control. My preference has always been leather leashes because they feel good in your hand and (if well made) last longer than other types of materials.
Going into even more detail, I'll only choose leashes with bolt or lobster claw attachments, and never "parrot" or pressure-type clips. Since we're doing a leash makeover, we might as well address the collar issue, too. Do yourself a favor and save the skinny one she's wearing now for a special occasion, after she's trained. Your trainer will advise you as to which collar will work best for her, but for now, you can't go wrong with a flat buckle collar.
If her head is bigger than her neck, or if she tends to back out of her collar to get free, you would be better off choosing a greyhound/martingale collar, designed especially for dogs with those issues. Dogs in my school who overpower and/or outweigh their owners do remarkably well when trained on a Gentle Leader, or Halti, and we leave their buckle collars as a place to hang their I.D. tags.
Ultimately, even with the proper equipment, you're still going to have to do some basic training with your dog. But within a few weeks, you should see big improvements in your dog's ability to walk politely on leash, and you'll no longer be mistaken for a team in training for the Iditarod!
Kathy Santo has spent her entire career as a dog trainer and handler, training dogs and winning over 500 obedience, agility and Canine Good Citizenship titles. Working with her own dogs, she has achieved every competitive obedience title the American Kennel Club (AKC) has offered and earned the prestigious AKC "Obedience Trial Champion" title (OTCh) multiple times.
In Waldwick, Kathy teaches classes, private lessons, and oversees the training of her student's dogs using her extensive knowledge, experience and intuition to handle problems from the benign to the serious. Her engaging personality has won her the respect and friendship of her many students, who now consider themselves part of her extended family.

Last weekend I hosted a poker night at my house. I say hosted, as I didn't end up participating – I don't know how to play poker (at 22? how embarrassing, I know). This was somewhat of a surprise to my friend Nancy and her boyfriend, who felt that I had lured them there under somewhat false pretenses. So my Saturday night consisted of a group of neuroscientists, an engineer and a former paleontologist around my dining table, several pizzas and countless gin and tonics. It was a great success, something I'd partially like to attribute to my excellent buffalo wings.
The history of the buffalo wing is a bit unclear, but most people agree that it originates from Buffalo, New York. There was another American in attendance that evening, and I knew he'd appreciate a buffalo wing to go with all the San Miguels we'd bought for the night ahead. Buffalo wings are a great accompaniment for beer, and are easy to make in batches, making them the perfect bar food.
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees, and grease a baking tray, then set to one side. In a saucepan, start melting the butter on a low heat. In a bowl, combine the flour, cajun spice, chilli powder and cayenne pepper, and pour into a plastic bag. Put the chicken wings inside the plastic bag, seal the top and shake until each wing is coated in the flour mixture. Some folks like to put the floured chicken into the fridge to marinade for half an hour or so, but I skipped this step as tensions surrounding the game were already high – no need for extra stress!
Once the butter has melted in the pan, stir in the hot sauce and let simmer before taking it off the heat.
Once the sauce has cooled slightly, dip each wing in the pan until it is covered in the liquid, then place on the baking tray. Once completed, pop the wings in the oven for 45 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, turn each wing over so each side crisps up evenly.
And there you have it! Serve with a cold beer while watching your favourite team win at the Olympics (or, more realistically, whilst looking perplexed at all the sports you didn't even know existed).

What Our Students Gain from Engaging in Activities of Social Importance
Insights from Our Students in Grades 4 & 5
Over the past few months, MY International School has partnered with The Bangkok School for the Blind to create a special and unique learning experience for students from both schools to partake in.
Our Grades 4 & 5 students have since taken the lead in this partnership, collaborating with their teachers who organized fun experiences with their new friends. These activities often involve games or art and craft activities where meaningful interactions take place and profound relationships are fostered.
Through their once a month interactions, our students have found themselves in a position of reflection, spurring moments of wonder as they look back at their own actions, learning to put themselves in the position of another in order to better respond to a situation and in realizing their inherent potential to exhibit traits of the IB Learner Profile to address needs in meaningful ways.
Here are some of their reflections:
1. "One of my proudest moments was that I was told by someone that I was very caring towards them." – JJ
2. "It was more fun than the last time they came to visit us – maybe because we know each other better now. I felt like I was being principled because I believe in helping people and that sure was the right thing to do – to be kind to others." – Mola
3. "I felt great helping the blind students. I was a caring learner because I did my best to guide them in our clay model project. It was difficult for them because they cannot see and they have to use their hands and sense of touch to work on their clay model project." –Tann
Being caring and principled learners were elements mentioned most in their takeaways.
According to the IB Learner Profile, being a caring learner means to "show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others", where students have "a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment" (IBO, 2010).
Being a principled learner means that "they act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities" (IBO, 2010).
In many ways, they exhibited more than just these qualities – they were also thinkers, inquirers, risk-takers and reflective individuals as they engaged in this process. Through activities of social impact, these traits are reinforced with other very important traits – being caring and principled. Channeling these attributes can contribute towards the cultivation of individuals that respond with "empathy, compassion and respect", with "integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities" to vital needs in their own community (IBO, 2010).
As more of our children are raised with these elements in mind, we foster a community of learners who care, learners with a strong moral and social conscience that see themselves as protagonists in their society, looking beyond the needs of themselves.

Market research is the field to better understand your current and possible new customers' needs and wants for your current products, services and their levels of satisfaction with your current offerings. Understanding customers for innovative and radically new products and services comes from the new field of innovation, and market research does not have a good track record here. There are two major kinds of market research – primary and secondary. This article will discuss primary only.
Forum Newspaper Articles 2013
The Rise and Fall of Husky Injection Molding Systems – Part 2
Part 2 of the Husky article poses the question: Is Robert Schad a genius or insane in the strategy he forges in the face of the crisis discussed in Part 1 last month. I think it is a classic example of what not to do in strategy. You might disagree.
The Rise and Fall of Husky Injection Molding Systems – Part 1
Robert Schad founded Husky Injection Molding Systems in Canada in 1951 and built the company into one of the world's premier manufacturers of plastic injection molding production equipment. Husky produced these machines that would allow its customers to mold plastic products like soft drink bottles and yogurt cups to automotive components, to entire bodies of automobiles. An injection molding machine system puts molten resin under high pressure to form thin wall plastic products.
The Rise and Fall of Gucci part 2
Last month we discussed the fall of one of the most respected brands in the style/fashion industry – Gucci – in the mid-1970s. Our aim in these classic strategy stories is to bring to life the other articles in this series over the last fifteen months. We chronicled Gucci family struggles and intrigue as the founder's sons tried several strategies to turn the company around after some disastrous strategic moves.
The Fall and Rise of Gucci Part 1
This article and some others for the rest of the year will provide some quintessential company examples of putting the elements into practice. There is no better place to start than with the Fall and Rise of Gucci. Gucci is the firm that embodied high fashion and inspired design of leather goods and accessories and almost went bankrupt not heeding some of the key principles highlighted in this article series.
Thinking You Can Do Anything: The Case Of Masco Corporation
In 1986 Masco Corporation was considering a $1.5 billion move into the furniture manufacturing industry in the United States. Prior to this, the company had re-invented the faucet industry. Its portfolio included kitchen and bathroom cabinets, locks and building hardware and many other household products. These were "sleepy" industries before Masco entered, and Masco shook them up by "professionalizing" them and it extracted nice growth and profits.
The Story of Keen Footwear: Dynamic Capabilities – Part 2
Recall from Part 1 last month there are eight skills that are required for Dynamic Capabilities. Keen Footwear embodies all of them and in May 2003 started perfecting them like almost no other firm had done before. It is a fascinating story of how inexpensive shoe design tools and part time designers, offshore factories, and free buzz marketing helped Keen go from idea to a $30 million hit virtually overnight. I will paraphrase from an article in Business 2.0 Magazine by Michael Copeland and present my own research into Keen.
Dynamic Capabilities – A New Approach to Strategy – Part 1
Up to now, the strategy field has provided many valuable tools, frameworks, and knowledge. The emphasis for the current tools and frameworks is around "positioning". I have discussed many aspects of positioning over the last twenty-two months. Positioning seeks to have a firm develop a great strategy and business model and then "defend" that position. Defending comes from marketing your current offerings and brand frequently to keep you visible to current customers.
Laws of Business Strategy Part 2
Does your sales force (I am not picking on them) almost always say "If we just offered this version of our product, or if we added more "bells and whistles", more customers would buy it? Operations and production folks usually hate to hear this because they know it almost always increases the firm's costs. If you add up the number of these kinds of "bolt ons" over say ten years, you could end up with a serious complexity problem. What is the problem? Figure 1 shows complexity affects both costs and revenues negatively.
Laws of Business Strategy Part 1
It would be nice to know if we have laws of business strategy that should be followed at all times.
