Smacky chatbot online dating
But once a particular program is unmasked, once its inner workings are explained ...
Chatbots are typically used in dialog systems for various practical purposes including customer service or information acquisition.
Some chatterbots use sophisticated natural language processing systems, but many simpler systems scan for keywords within the input, then pull a reply with the most matching keywords, or the most similar wording pattern, from a database.
This criterion depends on the ability of a computer program to impersonate a human in a real-time written conversation with a human judge, sufficiently well that the judge is unable to distinguish reliably—on the basis of the conversational content alone—between the program and a real human.
The notoriety of Turing's proposed test stimulated great interest in Joseph Weizenbaum's program ELIZA, published in 1966, which seemed to be able to fool users into believing that they were conversing with a real human.
A chatbot (also known as a talkbot, chatterbot, Bot, IM bot, interactive agent, or Artificial Conversational Entity) is a computer program which conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods.

Mothers Supporting Mothers: Filling the Health Gap in Somalia
How we're celebrating inspirational mothers on Mother's Day.
Mar 30 2019
This Mother's Day we're celebrating the inspirational mothers that not only work hard to nurture and raise their own healthy children, but help other mothers to do the same too.
In Somalia, we have trained mothers to become community health workers. These mothers forge an important connection between their villages and formal health systems, by educating fellow mothers on nutrition and health practices.
Walking into a group session with mothers, Rahma Ali holds the tools of her trade: a mid-upper arm circumference band to detect malnutrition, a book illustrating healthy breastfeeding, hygiene, and sanitation practices, and a medical records ledger. Rahma is a mother and community health worker in south western Somalia, serving as a vital link between the families in her village and the nearest health centre.
Prior to becoming a health worker, Rahma started as member of a mother-to-mother support group at the Maternal and Child Centre in Hudur, Somalia, supported by Action Against Hunger. Participants share stories of motherhood and its challenges, and learn from each other about childcare, health, and nutrition.
"Joining the mothers group gave all of us a chance to share our experiences and open up about the challenges we face in seeking health care services," says Rahma. "Sometimes, the main reason mothers shy away from seeking health services at the local centres is because the medics who attend to them are men, and they find it difficult to explain to them what they are going through."
One of the midwives from the Maternal and Child Health Centre saw leadership potential in Rahma and a few others from the support group. She provided nutrition trainings to the mothers so that they could educate other mothers in their village.
Today, Rahma and three other mothers work as community health workers and serve 500 households. They share essential health information with women in their community and check in on mothers daily. Pointing to a column in her register, Rahma shows that she referred 26 pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to the health centre in the last week alone.
"Some of the mothers in my village were reluctant to seek nutrition and health care services at the centre, yet they were the ones who were most in need," she says. Instead, the mothers felt more at ease talking to health workers like Rahma who lived in the community and had a shared experience of motherhood. "I offered my services to the mothers by going door-to-door, organizing group forums, and sharing nutrition and hygiene messages," says Rahma.
During one of her door-to-door sessions, Rahma met with Halima Mursal, a mother of five, who was three months pregnant. Rahma encouraged her to visit the health centre for prenatal services to make sure that her pregnancy was a healthy one. Today, Halima is the proud mother of a beautiful baby girl named Anisa, and Rahma and the other health workers check in regularly to share their nutrition and hygiene expertise.
"It is always my joy to see women and their children living a healthy lifestyle because of the information we provide," says Rahma, proudly. Rahma tells us that she does this because she is a mother too, and she understands what fellow mothers go through on a daily basis."It is not an easy job, but we do it for our community because we are the backbone of our society."

1:25 Eber, Peleg, Reu, 26Serug, Nahor, Terah, 27Abram (that is, Abraham).

Tribal Chiefs of Edom
The tribal chiefs of Edom were: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 52Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, (NET Bible)
Ps. 103
103:1 By David.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
With all that is within me, praise his holy name.
2Praise the Lord, O my soul.
Do not forget all his kind deeds.
3He is the one who forgives all your sins,
who heals all your diseases,
4who delivers your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
5who satisfies your life with good things,
so your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
6The Lord does what is fair,
and executes justice for all the oppressed.
7The Lord revealed his faithful acts to Moses,
his deeds to the Israelites.
8The Lord is compassionate and merciful;
he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.
9He does not always accuse
and does not stay angry.
10He does not deal with us as our sins deserve;
he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
11For as the skies are high above the earth,
so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.
12As far as the eastern horizon is from the west,
so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.
13As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.
14For he knows what we are made of;
he realizes we are made of clay.
15A person's life is like grass.
Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
16but when the hot wind blows, it disappears,
and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
17But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers
and is faithful to their descendants,
18to those who keep his covenant,
who are careful to obey his commands.
19The Lord has established his throne in heaven;
his kingdom extends over everything.
20Praise the Lord, you angels of his,
you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees
and obey his orders.
21Praise the Lord, all you warriors of his,
you servants of his who carry out his desires.
22Praise the Lord, all that he has made,
in all the regions of his kingdom.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.(NET Bible)
Mark 6:45–56
6:45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd. 46After saying goodbye to them, he went to the mountain to pray. 47When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land. 48He saw them straining at the oars because the wind was against them. As the night was ending, he came to them walking on the sea, for he wanted to pass by them. 49When they saw him walking on the water they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them: "Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid." 51Then he went up with them into the boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely astonished, 52because they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54As they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Jesus. 55They ran through that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever he was rumored to be. 56And wherever he would go—into villages, towns, or countryside—they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and would ask him if they could just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.(NET Bible)
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016.
[Luther] had previously expressed himself in a similar fashion in his sermons on Genesis of the year 1527. In these he said: "I have often said that anyone who wishes to study Holy Scripture shall see to it that he sticks to the simple meaning of the words, as far as possible, and does not depart from them unless he be compelled to do so by some article of the faith that would demand another meaning than the literal one. For we must be sure that there is no plainer speech on earth than that which God has spoken. Therefore, when Moses writes that God in six days created heaven and earth and all that therein is, let it so remain that there were six days, and you dare not find an explanation that six days were one day. Give the Holy Ghost the honor of being wiser that yourself, for you should so deal with Scripture that you believe that God Himself is speaking. Since it is God who is speaking, it is not fitting frivolously to twist His words to mean what you want them to mean, unless necessity should compel a departure from their literal meaning, namely when faith does not permit the literal meaning." (51)
–Johann Michael Reu, Luther on the Scriptures
This daily Bible reading guide, Reading the Word of God, was conceived and prepared as a result of the ongoing discussions between representatives of three church bodies: Lutheran Church—Canada (LCC), The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and the North American Lutheran Church (NALC). The following individuals have represented their church bodies and approved this introduction and the reading guide: LCC: President Robert Bugbee; NALC: Bishop John Bradosky, Revs. Mark Chavez, James Nestingen, and David Wendel; LCMS: Revs. Albert Collver, Joel Lehenbauer, John Pless, and Larry Vogel.

2018 Landyachtz Hollowtech Sidewalker Longboard Skateboard Deck w/ Grip
The 2018 Landyachtz Hollowtech Sidewalker Skateboard Deck is the perfect 35.5" ride with a kicktail. This epic shredder was designed for riders who want a reduction of weight in their skateboard. That obviously comes at a higher price, but it is worth it. Landyachtz Hollowtech Technology stands up to its name. The Landyachtz Sidewalker weighs in at 3.5 lbs! You can see by the images that the deck has a unique construction built within. The designers at Landyachtz hollowed out the canadian maple core to decrease the weight of the board under your feet. The Hollowtech technology has many advantages: Lighter boards make kicking out slides and bringing them back effortless. You can get more pop out of this deck in comparison to heavier non-hollow shapes. Most importantly, a light deck is less of a burden to transport when a security guard is following you through the mall.
We like the medium to aggressive concave that was pressed into the Sidewaker. A deeper concave really locks your feet into the board when you need it most.
If you intend to use the Sidewalker for freeride, we suggest that you try 852 Bear Grizzly longboard trucks with the 70mm Mini Zombie Hawgs.
If you want a more aggressive setup for parks and street riding, try Independent 169mm street trucks and 65mm Noskoolz! This is our favorite setup at the shop.
Landyachtz's Description
When you are exploring an urban environment it's good to be light on your feet and ready for anything. When Steven Vera designed this board he kept both of those concepts in mind. The hollowtech construction is light, strong and full of pop. Appropriate amounts of concave and well designed geometry make it exactly as it should be, really well made and a ton of fun. It's not easy to embrace the one-board-does-it-all mentality but Vera's done it with the Sidewalker; and he makes it look good
Artist: Greg Nicholls
Deck Material: Canadian Maple with Fiberglass
Concave: Deep
Flex: Low
Grip: Clear Adhesive
Features: Hollowtech, Kicktails, Wheel Flares, Pre-Cured Fiberglass, Made in Canada, 100% Canadian Maple, Deep Concave

The Canadian Polyamory Advocacy Association will push for Canada's polygamy law to be struck down when it speaks as an intervener in the constitutional reference brought by the BC government as a result of failed charges against members of a polygamous community in Bountiful, BC.
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders Winston Blackmore and James Oler were charged with polygamy under Section 293 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Last fall, however, a BC Supreme Court judge quashed the charges, agreeing with the religious leaders' lawyers that then-attorney general Wally Oppal had gone "prosecutor shopping" in order to lay the charges.
That move led current BC Attorney General Mike de Jong to ask for the reference to determine if the Code section is constitutional.
And, it opened the doors for interested intervener groups to state their reasons for supporting or overturning the law.
Among the interested groups are the polyamorists.
"We want to see the legislation struck down," says the association's lawyer, John Ince. "It's to the poly movement what the sodomy law was to the gay movement."
In an affidavit filed by Zoe Duff on behalf of the association, the group defines polyamory as "the practice of relationships within groups of three or more people, where at least one person in the group has more than one intimate relationship at a time and where all members of the groups formally or informally adopt these principles."
It contrasts that against "patriarchal polygyny" which it defines as a situation "where men have the right to marry or live with several women, but women have no right to marry or live with several men; and where homosexual relationships are highly stigmatized."
The association intends to present evidence about the extent of polyamory in Canada, reasons why people engage in it and its importance to their dignity and self-worth, the social stigma against it and how it differs from "patriarchal polygyny."
The group says the law as written prohibits group-conjugal polyamory and violates fundamental Charter rights such as conscience and religion; freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression; freedom of peaceful assembly; and freedom of association. It also argues it violates rights to life, liberty and security of the person, and to equality.
While no dates have been set for the case to be heard before BC Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman, arguments about status in the case have been ongoing.
Blackmore wants full status in the case, giving him status on par with the governments.
And he wants public funds to pay for it.
Adamantly against Blackmore will be Stop Polygamy, REAL Women and the Christian Legal Fellowship.
Arguing for the rights of children will be BC Teachers' Federation, Beyond Borders, the Catholic Organization for Life and Family, Canadian Coalition for Rights of the Child and the David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights.
And, in the middle are West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) and the Civil Liberties Association. They believe the law is poorly worded and may well be unconstitutional.
The case is expected to be so populated with lawyers that Bauman is looking at moving the hearings to the large federal courtroom where retired justice Thomas Braidwood heard the inquiry into the Vancouver International Airport Taser death of Robert Dziekanski.
The room seats dozens of lawyers and has a large public gallery space.

Printable Sam and the dunes calendar for 2013!
Make travel plans and enjoy every day in 2013 with Samandthedunes.com free PDF calendar (size A4).
It's the most wonderful time of the year…
For Sam and the dunes, 2012 was an eventful year. We roamed around the mountains of Gran Canaria; looked for the Man in the Iron Mask in Cannes; researched all museums that exist in Geneva (don't ask); dined like royalty in Monte Carlo; sweated buckets in Rome and danced the night away in Marrakech.
What else happened? Well, Alex turned 50 (ouch! stop hitting me, Alex!) and that was a big event, of course, while Hanna started blogging for National Geographic Traveler (we are still pinching our arms) and it seems she's going for the "Blurriest Picture of the Year Award" (keeping our fingers crossed).
Our beloved pooch, Sam (the brains behind the blog) continued to give thoughtful instructions that were followed to the letter.
Now, we plan to get sloshed on glogg and stuff ourselves with various christmas cakes, gain a few kilos, and make the obligatory new year's resolution: lose weight.
As we stumble along to the bar, we wish you all:
Vintage bargains in Las Palmas
Beat Vintage is a great (but expensive) second-hand store located on Calle Presidente Alvear in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. It's a small shop literally packed with cool retro clothes, sunglasses, shoes, etc. This time I (Hanna, Alex is in Washington, remember?) couldn't resist two stylish wallets from the '70s and a "golden" bracelet. Detachable collars were definitely the catch of the day and one of them I tried to give Sam but he refused. "I don't take bribes," he said.
For Sale – one of a kind bracelet!
Sorry to say but the t-shirt necklace we showed here on the blog a couple of days ago was not our last "do-it-yourself" project. Yesterday, I (Hanna) bought some more material and at the end of the day I had made myself a new bracelet. In case you would like to buy it, here is the price based on my supply trip (no profit, of course).
– Yarn (mustard yellow and turquoise): 3 euros (the wooden pearl is my treat)
– First taxi ride: 68 euros (no time to take the bus since Sam was impatiently waiting for me to get back home)
– Snack: 2.50 euros (peanuts and a soft drink to be more specific)
– Second taxi ride: 73 euros (5 euros more expensive on the way back?)
– Two glasses of wine: 6 euros (Hey, try going shopping by yourself…it's not that fun…)
Total sum for the bracelet = 152.50 euros (195 USD)
– Discount: 2.50 euros (thinking of it, I'm having peanuts and soft drinks every day anyway)
Total price: 150 euros (192 USD)
First come, first served.
First (and probably our last) DIY project: "Recycled" t-shirt necklace
While Alex is in Washington, I'm currently staying in Gran Canaria taking care of Sam. Since I forgot nearly all my accessories (or maybe because I'm just generally bored), I decided to make my own necklace from an old t-shirt. (Well, now I actually went to a store and bought myself a brand new t-shirt but I have to say "old" otherwise I cannot call it a recycling, eco-friendly project).
The whole idea might sound a bit crazy but if you look around you will see that there are tons of inspirational DIY videos and bloggers showing how to make these type of necklaces (see I'm not the only lunatic out there). Basically, it just takes an hour (excluding all the time it took me to find the damn t-shirt in the store).
1.Lay the t-shirt flat and cut 1-2 cm strips. Pull and stretch each strip so they become long and thin.
2. Use a bit of left over fabric from the t-shirt and wrap the strips together.

Knowledge and Politics in Setting and Measuring SDGs – Launch of special issue of "Global Policy Journal"
Knowledge and Politics in Setting and Measuring SDGs – Launch of special issue of Global Policy Journal
Thursday, February 7, 6:00-8:00pm
Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Room I-202, 55 West 13th Street
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) did not fall from the sky. They resulted from hard fought battles over different visions, ideas and interests about the purpose and theories of development. And these battles did not end with the adoption of the SDGs. They continue in the way that the goals and targets are interpreted in the choice of the indicator. As social scientists have long pointed out, governance by data and indicators can alter meanings of social objectives, shift power relations, reorganize national and local priorities, create perverse incentives and create new narratives.
This special issue of the Global Policy Journal on the SDGs explores the politics of indicators, as stakeholders contest the definition of goals, targets and indicators in a struggle to shape the norms of international development. Speakers in this symposium will discuss the contested definitions and measurement of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, Access to Justice, Inequality, and Global Health.
Presented in collaboration with the Robert L. Bernstein Institute at NYU Law School and the Julien J. Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs at The New School.
Free and open to all. RSVP below.

Comfort never looked so good, especially at WinningSmiles in Fontana!
Many people think that they have to suffer from old-fashioned, ugly, bulky dentures. Nothing could be further from the tooth…I mean truth.
Dentures have not been forgotten in the cosmetic dental field. With new advancements in acrylic and porcelain technologies, a denture can look as good as natural teeth.
Common Complaints About Dentures
One of the most common complaints I hear from denture wearers is about the unattractive and unnatural look of their dentures. This causes them to be self-conscious about their smile and consequently, they smile less. This grievance is usually accompanied by limitations in their ability to chew their food and the overall discomfort they experience.
The WinningSmiles Difference
At WinningSmiles, we offer exceptionally natural, beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous dentures. Using principles of cosmetic dentistry, we can design custom dentures that will help restore your natural, beautiful smile.
Oftentimes, when making dentures, it is helpful for a patient to bring in photos of their smile when they had their natural teeth….for example, a high school graduation picture. We can match the shape and contour of the denture teeth to mimic your natural teeth. We will also work together to choose a shade for your new teeth that you are comfortable with.
Every beautiful smile found in nature can be used to create a denture for you that is truly a work of art! By combining just the right shape, length, and color, along with the latest tools to make the best impressions of your face, jaw, and mouth, we can create your very own most beautiful and natural smile. Give us a call today to book a consultation.

Samsung's supposedly fixed version of the Galaxy Fold has officially gone on sale in South Korea, and the first batch of gray market imports have reached Hong Kong.
Known as "water products" in Cantonese–referring to the fact that these devices were sent to Hong Kong from another country of origin–the first batch of Folds are selling in a couple of shops inside Hong Kong's Mong Kok district at an astronomical (and perhaps comical) price of HK$38,000, roughly $4,856.
This is a near 2.5-times markup over the Fold's actual suggested retail price of around $2,000. But as someone who's familiar with Hong Kong's gray market scene–it is how I get my hands on many devices before the official review units are even available–I am confident these will be picked up soon.
Part of the reason the Fold's price is so high is due to the extremely limited supply. According to reports, only 1,000 units were released so far in South Korea, and the phone has yet to go on sale officially in any other part of the world.
The Fold's global release will take place in batches, with the first batch hitting Singapore, France, Germany and a couple of other European markets on September 18. The U.S. will get the device a week after that. No release has been announced for Hong Kong yet, which makes the grey market import that much more in demand.
The Galaxy Fold was originally scheduled to be released in April, but review units sent out to key media began malfunctioning after just a day or two of use, which forced the South Korean tech giant to postpone the launch and recall all the review units.
The problem, according to Samsung, was a design flaw with the hinge mechanism that allowed small particles such as dust to slip inside the phone. Samsung said it has fixed the issue with a series of small hardware changes, including closing the gap of the hinge to a smaller sliver and inserting plastic caps at the top and bottom of the hinge which blocks small particles from getting inside the moving parts.
The $2,000 retail price of the Galaxy Fold has received plenty of mockery and criticism from the tech community, though I personally think it's worth it, considering it is a cutting-edge piece of never-before-done tech. But then again, I'm what one would call an enthusiast, or more frankly, "gadget geek."
Still, even I'm not hardcore enough to pay $4,856 for the Fold.

WAKFU the Series in the Game : always going further ! Info - 2018-04-01 09:00Back to list
Before it was an MMORPG, Wakfu was an animated series telling the story of the Brotherhood of the Tofu, a group of adventurers scouring the World of Twelve for answers! But what's the connection to the game?
Our MMORPG is set a few years before the series, but Xelor never stops working and time goes by! We are therefore slowly catching up with the series. So, what does that mean for WAKFU the game?
As you noticed with the arrival of the Brotherhood of the Tofu in update 1.59, which is rapidly approaching, we're getting closer and closer to the series. This is why we've decided to pick up the events in our favorite cartoon.
We want to recreate episodes from the series with you in the WAKFU MMORPG! But how, you might ask? Everyone will get their own role in order to reproduce each scene: Black Crow, the Puddly from the back right in episode 5 of season 1, the Gobbowl Ball from episode 11… Everyone will have a role in this live recreation of each episode!
Some of the roles have already been assigned, such as the Noxines, which are fully cast. They have already begun their new lives in Astrub and Bilbiza today. You should go see these truly talented players: They have really embraced their roles and seem totally real.
However, they are not very talkative, as they have fully embraced their acting responsibilities. And they're right to do so because, as the ToU clearly stipulate, any player who refuses to play their assigned role will be teleported to the moderator jail for the duration of the event. We're counting on you to take your roles seriously.
We hope that you will like this new page in the WAKFU history, and that we can all have fun together. So, what character would you like to play? Learn what your role will be by taking our personality test: "Become the creature you've always dreamed of being."

The Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act authorizes a complainant to apply to court for relief against:
● oppressive or unfairly prejudicial acts, omissions or conduct detrimental to the interests of a member or others; or
● conduct that unfairly disregards the interests of members or others.
However, a court cannot make an order under the oppression remedy if the court is satisfied that:
● the corporation is a religious corporation;
● the impugned decision of the directors is based on a tenet of faith held by the members of the corporation; and
● it was reasonable to base the board's decision on this tenet of faith having regard to the activities of the corporation.
Thus, a court is prevented from adjudicating on the merits of religious doctrines. But it would not be prevented from granting an order to recover church monies or other property wrongfully taken by those in control of the church.
1. Conduct Found to be Oppressive
Examples of conduct found to be oppressive or unfairly prejudicial in the case of a not-for-profit corporation include:
● the allocation by the directors of publicly available housing on the basis of political favouritism rather than on a fair and equitable basis to provide the housing for persons in need;
● the refusal by a discipline committee to grant a stay to suspend a discipline hearing where the activity giving rise to the suspension did not involve the safety or well-being of young athletes, officials or other persons;
● the exclusion of one of the largest unionized employers from membership and participation in a province-wide representative employers' organization; and
● the decision of a student union to override the decision of the elections board.
Also, a court-ordered buyout of some of the members may be ordered instead of a court-ordered liquidation. A finding of oppression is not required where there are grounds for a court-ordered liquidation.
2. Conduct Found Not to be Oppressive
Examples of conduct found not to be oppressive or unfairly prejudicial include:
● the views of a member being contrary to the will of the majority;
● a failure of the corporation to hold a hearing that was not required by the legislation nor by the rules of the corporation;
● a refusal to override the corporation's internal appeal process that was stated to be final and binding on all parties; and
● the mere failure to adhere to technical formalities in running the corporation, without more.
3. Test for Finding Grounds for Oppression
The courts use a two-pronged test in determining whether there is oppression or unfair prejudice. Does the evidence:
● support the reasonable expectations asserted by the complainant; and
● establish that the reasonable expectations of the complainant were violated by conduct falling within oppression or unfair prejudice?
Whether an act, omission or conduct satisfies this test is intensely fact-specific. It is impossible to exhaustively catalogue all acts, omissions or conduct that may be oppressive or unfairly prejudicial.
4. Practical Factors in the Application of the Oppression Remedy in the Context of an NFP Corporation
It may be observed that, in most cases involving NFP corporations (and all cases involving soliciting corporations), members have no direct economic or financial stakes in the corporation. Therefore, litigation involving claims of oppression characteristically does not involve the assertion of a direct financial interest in the corporation. For example, NFP corporations cannot pay dividends, and soliciting corporations can only pay out residual assets, after satisfying the claims of creditors, to qualified donees (such as government or another charity) and not to members as such.
As well, NFP corporations usually have no one controlling member, and no one individual generally controls the board. In most cases, boards are populated by several directors who are independent of each other. These factors mean that there may be a diversity of opinion at the board and membership levels. Courts ordinarily respect the will of an independent majority, exercised democratically.

The care you take in training your animal will give a lifetime spent with a well mannered and happy dog.

Stop Your Dog From Barking Repeatedly
Owners routinely and inadvertently teach their dogs to bark by reinforcing behaviour. For instance, if your dog starts barking whilst in the garden, and you always go out and tell it to stop, it could possibly think you are "barking" back, so to speak, it'll clearly realize that it has gotten your attention, and that's exactly what it intended, and so whenever it needs your attention once more, it will bark. That is rewarding its barking, therefore you should ignore this behaviour and instead reward it whenever it is quiet and ceases barking. If you realize there is something particular that makes your dog bark it's possible to use this to stop him. You should trigger the situation that makes it bark and ignore it, then you can calm the dog down and give it a reward, this procedure has to be replicated time and again.

When somebody dies without leaving a will behind, his next-of-kin automatically inherit his land. State laws differ on how land inheritance works; however, in most states, heirs all have an equal right to the entire land although they all have equal interest in the land. Thus, any heir can live on, work or sell the land. To avoid confusion, heirs must communicate with each other about their intentions if they all share land.
Write out a family tree. If the deceased person left no will, the land must be divided equally between all heirs according to state laws in the state where the deceased died. List all surviving spouses and children of the deceased that you know of.
Contact the attorney who is handling the probate of the estate. Give him information about all known heirs so that he can file a motion in probate court to transfer the property to all heirs.
Talk to the other heirs. Draft a written agreement stating who will pay property taxes, who will live on the land and what to do if any party wants to sell their interest in the land. Sign the written agreement.
Follow the agreement. Pay any property taxes you have agreed to pay on time so that you do not risk the tax collector seizing the land from all the heirs.

Bringing you the latest news & resources in eye health
The cause of keratoconus is not fully understood, although there are indications it may be a genetic condition. Continuous or vigorous eye rubbing in susceptible individuals may lead to the development of keratoconus and should be avoided.
Keratoconus has also been linked to other medical conditions, such as glaucoma, hay fever and sleep apnoea.
Keratoconus is usually considered a rare condition, with previous studies suggesting it affects 1 in every 2000 people. However, recent work indicates that the incidence could be much higher – perhaps as much as 1 in 50 people.
Both sexes are equally affected and most cases are diagnosed between the ages of 15 to 30 years.
Generally yes, although one eye tends to be worse than the other.
Severe cases may lead to legal blindness, but it's not typical for a person to become totally blind from this condition.

I was in a wee bit of a sour mood today after getting rained on during my 1.8 km commute to work. My day did eventually turn around, particularly after finding a toothbrush in my parents' dishwasher.
In honour of the glass being half full, here is a list of great things about PEI, in no particular order.
- The new light show on Province House every night. Basically my inspiration to write this post as it's the closest thing I've seen to Illuminations in a long while. Obviously it doesn't compare, but given it's purpose and non-Disney World budget, it was quite well done. I'll have to go back sometime when rain isn't leaking from the sky and the temperature has more than one didget.
- The non-National Park north shore between Malpeque Bay and New London Bay.
- Driving down the road and finding strawberries for sale at an un-manned stand for $3.00. After a fall/winter/spring of eating California and Florida berries that have been shipped much too far, these strawberries pretty much made my taste buds explore in euphoric bliss. I wanted to rub them all over myself and lick them off.
- The obviousness of rural road signs. Exhibit 34, Jen and Hannah driving down Hamilton Road (where Hamilton is on Route 104) and not knowing what road to turn onto to get to Beech Point. Suddenly, to our right, looms BEECH POINT ROAD. Well named my friend, well named.
- The Hunter River Bakery, specifically cinammon rolls and PB chocolate chip cookies. Best eatened after the 27-km bike ride to Hunter River, needed to refuel for the pedal home. Obviously.
- The Historic section of downtown. It actually is quite pretty and leaves me baffled when in newer cities. "Where is the old part of the city?" "It's that building right there." "Oh, 1914. Umm, wow?" I'm quite glad they are ripping the ugly plastic crap off the side of the Confed Mall on Grafton Street to reveal the original (?) brickwork underneith. Much more pleasing to the eye. Also enjoy biking downtown in the evenings due to minimal traffic (when timed properly while plays on are, not right before or after!) and because I like going around turns.
- Restaurants - given its size, Charlottetown is quite blessed with restaurants. We have a good variety of restaurants; something I suspect is somewhat of a result of our culinary school.
- The accent. It makes me giggle. "Tomorrah!" "Diabetas" and slurring the crap out of any word with 'ar'. Bar, car, tar, etc. And the excessive stress on short As, pretty much turning them into long As.
- The Confederation Trail - I shall be honest, the Trail definitely does not offer the most exciting scenery, but it's excellent for windy days as the trees do buffer a great deal of the wind, and it's nice to avoid traffic. I like taking the Trail to somewhere, then taking the road home.
- The Charlottetown Airport. Who doesn't like arriving at the airport only 45 minutes before a flight?!
- Bars/restaurants with patios. I am strategic with patio selection, for the not-tall buildings often block the sun at various points of the day.

The 60 Million Year Old Turtle
Puentemys Mushaisaensis, The 60 Million Year Old Turtle
On September 11, 2012 researchers form the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and North Carolina State University discovered fossil of a prehistoric turtle in the northern part of South America. They dated the turtle to be sixty million years old and named it Puentemys mushaisaensis because the skeleton was found in the Cerrejon Coal Mine. This mine was made famous with the discovery of Titanoboa, the world's biggest fresh water snake. Also it was here where the discovery of the world's largest fresh water turtle was found, Carbonemys, which is as big as a smart car. The discoveries of the Cerrejon Coal Mine allow opportunity's to understand the origins of diversity in the last sixty million years. The Puentemys Mushaisaensis is most interesting for its shell, which is extreamly round and as big as a car tire. Researchers say that the turtles round shape could have warded off predators and helped to keep the animals body temperature regulating.
I believe that the discovery of this ancient turtle will expand the knowledge and understanding of the wildlife in the area sixty million years ago. I find the discovery of new animals all over the world very fascinating. Finding a fossil of and extinct animal underscores the my sties of the way things lived millions of years ago.
I think that the discovery of this ancient animal will open the doors to more discoveries I the future. With studying this skeleton, scientists hypothesize that the width and low- domed shape of the turtle's shell increased the sun exposure of the animal. This allowed the cold-blooded turtle to stay warm and there for be more active. With this discovery we can now see if other animals can use their massive body size to produce more heat to cold-blooded animals. Also unearthing this animals will allow the discovery of different predator it had, what it and, and the behaviors...

Skip to 0 minutes and 13 seconds Paradigms are made up of three distinct elements; ontology, methodology and epistemology. They are all different elements, but they together make up a whole or a paradigm. For example, just like these objects here, they're made up of different elements; the teapot, the cup and the milk jug. They are all different, but together they make up something else. They make up a tea service, just like ontology, epistemology and methodology are different but together they make up a paradigm. Cheers.
Skip to 1 minute and 2 seconds I'll go through each term in detail.
Skip to 1 minute and 8 seconds Ontology is concerned with the form and character of being. In other words, what is reality like?
Skip to 1 minute and 28 seconds Epistemology focuses on how knowledge is formed and understood, so in other words, what is known about reality?
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds Methodology is concerned with the study of how new knowledge can be acquired. In other words, how can we learn about reality?
Research philosophies
As a researcher, you will face the fundamental question of what philosophical structure and direction you should give your enquiry. In order to carry out any research, you should first understand the core philosophical position that underpins the research method you are planning to adopt. This is otherwise known as the research paradigm.
Bryman and Bell (2011: 24) define a paradigm as
… a cluster of beliefs, and dictates in a particular discipline to influence what should be studied, how research should be done and how results should be interpreted.
The overarching paradigm includes the ontological and epistemological point of view the research is taking alongside the research methodology. It may help in the understanding of these terms if we represent them as simple questions:
Ontology asks 'What is the concept of reality underpinning the study?'
Epistemology asks 'What should be regarded as acceptable knowledge in a discipline?'
Methodology asks 'What is the concept behind the study and methods required?'
By incorporating all three of these together, we collectively describe the paradigm of a research strategy.
In the next step you will explore how these three elements link together to form a research paradigm.

Rahkmankulov Wins Battle of Undefeated at Burbank
By Tarrah Zael
BURBANK, Calif.-A highly anticipated battle between two cherished super welterweights saw Sagadat Rahkmankulov win by decision over Jhon Leon in a battle of undefeated prospects on Friday.
Before a crowd of more than 500 fans at the Marriot Events Center Rahkmankulov (2-0) stepped ahead of Leon (3-1) to remain undefeated in the six round super welterweight clash. But it was not easy.
Rahkmankulov of Kazakhstan, who is now fighting out of Oxnard, California, deemed to have a lot to prove Friday night against well-known Leon, of Columbia.
The first couple of rounds had the audience on the edge of their seats since they weren't easily dominated by Rahkmankulov. Although he won those rounds, timing his punches perfectly to reach Leon proved to be a lesson that was needed to carry him throughout the whole fight.
Leon came out of his corner looking for the knockout punch with his quick overhand right and wide left hook. However, as Leon quickly countered any of Rahkmankulov's strong jabs with his overhand right or hook; the intense amount of pressure received from Rahkmankulov did not change.
In the later rounds the tides turned with the continuous exchange of punches and pressure in the toe to toe battle between these two. Now moving forward as the aggressor, Leon stayed on top of Rahmankulov with his wide punches and combinations. But, Rahkmankulov proved to be the better boxer with his defensive counters and swift footwork. Still, the lingering thought that someone's undefeated record would have to subside; proved to be the fighting outcome.
Sagadat welcomed Jhon coming towards him as he was well prepared to give him the pressure of his hooks to the body and short uppercuts. Thus, easily turning Jhon around and keeping him on the ropes, Sagadat quickly tired Leon in the last round of the fight. With both judges, Fernando Villarreal and Timothy Hicks scoring the fight of 59-55 and judge Edward Hernandez Sr. giving a score of 58-56, for your winner by unanimous decision: Sagadat Rahkmankulov.
Even with his well-deserved win, Rahkmankulov expressed his desire to better himself, "I think I did good work, but I think I made a lot of mistakes. I need to work on my mistakes."
In the last battle of the night, Burbank's very own Damien Lopez (5-0-1) defeated Tucson, Arizona's Rodolfo Gamez (2-5) with two left hooks, eight seconds into the 5th round. In the earlier rounds Lopez kept busy with jabs to the body then straight to the head. He showcased himself a very well-rounded fighter with his angles and defense. He ended the last fight of the night with an impressive knockout.
Other Bouts
The first fight of the night opened with an exciting one punch knockout by Santos Ortega (1-0) 20 seconds into the first round.. The boxing star, whom is managed by former world champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley, defeated another debuting boxer in Giancarlos Espinoza (0-1) with a single overhand right timed perfectly and starting his first professional career with a win.
In the welterweight bout, Gerardo Alvarez (1-0) versus southpaw, Derion Chapman (1-2) both fighters came out throwing numerous of punches. But, Gerardo won the split decision and proved to be the more technical fighter as Derion danced around the ring.
In another welterweight bout of the night, Archie Weah (2-10) was timed perfectly by Ricardo Quiroz (6-0); he connected his power punches in a toe to toe battle. Oxnard's Quiroz won the majority decision over New York's Weah in the four round fight. Quiroz states, "He came to fight but I got the victory tonight."
Jordan Baletero (2-6) was knocked down in the first round of an overhand right by Roger Gutierrez (7-1-1). Roger's wide stance and punches got to Jordan quickly calling for a timeout in one of the rounds. Ultimately all three judges scored the fight for Unanimous decision to Roger Gutierrez in the Super Featherweight fight.
The six round super lightweight bout, Jesus Cruz Bibiano (17-13) versus Humberto Velasquez (6-1-2); although being head-butted numerously; Bibiano came out on top with the Split Decision over Velasquez
Rudy Garcia (7-0) defeats Josue Morales (5-7) in a six round bantamweight contest with a unanimous decision. Garcia was very active all six rounds, throwing combinations
and exchanging punches with the southpaw. Morales had a good defense but was not executing his punches for the win.

"I'm going to go back to doing just what I did before, the boy thought. Even though the sheep didn't teach me to speak Arabic. But the sheep had taught him something even more important: that there was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired. Tangier was no longer a strange city, and he felt that, just as he had conquered this place, he could conquer the world."

Cross Ange is a dark, gritty, brutal, sometimes just-plain-wrong mecha series done right. As First Troop battles a battleship-sized DRAGON and its twenty-odd underlings, Miranda is simply told to keep back and stay alive, an order she cannot follow. Just when you thought, "well, maybe they'll have Miranda resent Ange for Coco's death later", she dies too, just as she's told not to!
But just so you know, the show isn't content just with killing off rookie redshirts, as the highly capable, experienced bad-ass Captain Zola also meets her end in the fiasco of a battle where Ange first tries to desert, then freaks out and flies around, then slams into Zola's Paramail, preventing her from landing the killing blow on the DRAGON. For her trouble, Ange gets to await rescue as the blood from Zola's empty eye socket drips all over her cockpit. Frankly, I'm surprised more pilots didn't lose their lives out there: those DRAGONS are exceedingly efficient at tearing people to pieces.
Even if it's not all due not entirely to Ange, her selfish actions contributed greatly. She's also gone and made even greater enemies of Zola's three lovers: Hilda, Roselie and Chris. And Jill even sent her official petitions to several nations: all were rejected, as no one has ever heard of the Misurugi Empire or a Princess Angelise. She hasn't just been plucked from her world: that world doesn't even exist anymore.
Once healed up and out of her Gaultier Leeloo bandages, Jill has her lug the tombstones of the dead to their final resting places – the duty of the person responsible for their deaths. It's here she learns her cushy mana-filled world is built atop the bones of the Norma, all fighting to protect a civilization that spits on them. When she learns fallen Norma get their names back, she starts to wish for death, to escape the hell and return to a place of peace, even if it is the afterlife – because she'll at least once again be Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi.
With her first paramail trashed, Jill bestows Vilkiss on Ange – while awesome-looking, it's hard to control and has seen better days; the perfect ride for someone with a death wish. But the Vilk is no lemon; and in giving it to Ange Jill seems to be challenging the voracity of her wish.
Salia is the new First Troop Captain…for better or worse, as she's extremely rigid and by-the-book leader, probably a better lieutenant than captain. When they find the DRAGON and it's revealed it's basically acting as a decoy for a sea-to-air attack, Salia kind of just freezes. She's only saved from the fates of Coco & Co because Ange lures it away — not because she particularly cares about Salia (or anything), but because she's trying to die.
That is, until that DRAGON grabs her paramail and stares her down, and she remembers the dying words of her mother: "Live on." Her ring, which was returned to her, glows, and when blood from her head drips upon it, there's a reaction that's both surprising and utterly un-surprising considering Ange's natural course from now on. She's not going to die there, because she realizes she doesn't want to die.
To that end, she does what it takes to live on — wasting the dragon in a heated blaze of gun and sword attacks and ending the battle on an exclamation point, bailing out the tactically deficient Salia in the first sortie under her command. By the end, Ange is flushed with excitement, just as Zola said she'd get when she hit her back. Ange is still ashamed to feel this way, but she can't deny she does.
She hasn't been a knowing Norma long, and having not grown up as one doesn't harbor the same deep scars, but she's very quickly starting to understand what kind of living Norma must cling to. Even if it involves killing and a whole host of other nasty stuff, they have to take what they can get and find peace and solace however they can.
So Angelise cuts her long flowing locks and tosses them into the wind, to join her name, her past; everything else she's ever had or been. She decides she will live on, as Ange, at any cost; not die as quickly or easily as her mother or young comrades. Then she takes the pudding Coco gave her out of the dustbin and dutifully chokes it down. It tastes disgusting, but it will nourish her soul. When in Hell, you savor every compromised comfort you can get your hands on.

Bali Bali Bali,
Before coming here for the first time in 2011, the idea I had of Bali was that was a beautiful island full of paradisiac beaches.
How wrong was I….
Bali is a beautiful island, in fact, it is a stunning island, however, beaches are not necessarily the best of Bali. I am not even a fan at all, as the lack of white sand, palm trees and crystalline turquoise waters ruin it for me. They are good if you like surfing tho.
So why is Bali so beautiful?
Well, I would say it is the culture and the nature.
There are so many wonderful temples in this Island. Yesterday I told you about Tanah Lot, which is one of the most beautiful – and the perfect spot for sunset.
Today, we have visited a few more but we were lucky to visit the most iconic of them all: Ulun Danu Temple.
This picturesque landmark is often considered the postcard of Bali (think Big Ben for London). It sits on Beratan Lake, and during high tide, the smooth reflective surface of Beratan surrounds most of the temple's base, creating a unique floating illusion, while the mountain range provides the temple with its hazy and dreamy backdrop. Sadly, as its dry season, the water doesn't really cover the temple as it does in the wet season, which made this second experience of visiting the temple not as mesmerizing! Still wonderful and the most recognizable sanctuary.
But more than the beautiful temples and architecture, I would say that the Nature is absolutely breath taking.
Instead of trying to describe you, let me show you why Bali is just so dazzling and charming.
If you haven't visited, you should definitely add it to your list =)
Much love from the mountains,
Emma and the gang
P.S. You have NO IDEA how much I had to suffer to upload this post and video today ahahah- I call it dedication and resilience as I spent the last 4h going around every single hotel trying their internet. And the downside of being in the middle of secluded mountains – however, I have the most beautiful sky full of stars that I will now enjoy. xxx
