The Relentless Campaign for Mass Conformity
Do you get excited about professional sports and tirelessly argue for or against one or the other political parties? Are you concerned about climate change?
The campaign for conformity among the masses is relentless and has reached a deafening crescendo
It is getting warmer
It is getting warmer
Do not believe in conspiracy theories
Do not believe in conspiracy theories
Do not believe in conspiracy theories
Mesmerizing the Masses
You probably regard my use of "hypnotized" and "hypnotic state" as a deliberate exaggeration. Well, if you are following my subscribed course of studying our country's endless false flag attacks, JFK's brutal murder at the hands of the CIA (think progeny of Jove), the Appollo Program moon landing fairytale, the "resistance is futile" global warming madness, and the mind-bending illusion of planes hitting the Twin Towers on 9/11, then you are ready to graduate. This is your final lesson. I am using "hypnotized" and "hypnotic state" very deliberately as technical terms.
Hypnotism's origins can be traced back to Franz Anton Mesmer and what was called mesmerism.
Now consider the definition of mesmerize.
This is precisely how television and movies are being used. In Centralized Control of Mainstream Media (MSM) as well as the section on Hurricane Erin, I talk about the centralized control of mass media in this country. Without it, the deep hypnotic state of the people would not be possible.
Squashing dissenting voices is paramount to achieving the level of repetition needed to mesmerize or hypnotize the masses. Global warming says "It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter." just like the hypnotist says "You're getting sleepy. You're getting sleepy. You're getting sleepy." Repetition is the key to success. It's that simple. And it is called hypnotism.
The government is paying a lot of people to say "It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter." According to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), "climate change" research garnered 11.6 billion dollars in 2014 alone. The mechanism of control is very simple. They only fund academics and "scientific" researchers who are willing to find some new way of saying "It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter. It's getting hotter." And by controlling the mass media, they can take away the microphone of anyone who says anything whatsoever to the contrary.
Now you must take this exact same technique and elevate it to the level of controlling even the tendency to want to question the status quo, to make sure no one even wants to say "maybe it's not getting hotter" or "I think it may be getting colder." How could you achieve this? That is precisely what the progeny of Jove (operating as the CIA at the time) faced after they murdered JFK and realized they needed a more sophisticated approach than the brute force with which they executed that badly botched operation. Their solution was ingenious.
It's a conspiracy theory.
It's a conspiracy theory.
It's a conspiracy theory.
Now you must define "conspiracy theory" in such a way as to discourage anyone from believing in them. This too is a matter of repetition. The message here is that "conspiracy theory" equals crazy. It's a simple equation. Anything contrary to the official party line gets labeled a conspiracy theory and people who believe conspiracy theories are crazy. Now all that is needed is the repetition.
People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy. People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy. People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy.
The CIA became aware of the need for a much greater level of mainstream media (MSM) control after JFK was murdered on November 22, 1963. The Warren Report was made public on November 25, 1963. By the time CIA Document 1035-960 was written on April 1, 1967, "a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless, polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results" (full text of memo below).
A lot of people were questioning the official party line of the CIA. Obviously, something had to be done.
We already know how the CIA operates, but let's get someone else's perspective. For this, I turn to Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) of TruthstreamMedia.com. Aaron and Melissa Dykes of Truthstream Media are one of my most favorite news sources. Their work is of consistently unparalleled quality. Here is what she says about the use of "conspiracy theories"
"This phrase has been weaponized by the CIA"
"This 1967 CIA Memo Is Still Used to Discredit Conspiracy Theorists Today" from the Truthstream Media YouTube channel:
Five years before the planned September 11, 2001 operation, the progeny of Jove (operating now as an Unnamed Entity well-hidden behind need-to-know clearances) went into high gear with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the release of the "Conspiracy Theory" movie in which Mel Gibson, the main character who is a "conspiracy theorist," begins the movie as a creepy peeping tom who is stalking a woman he doesn't even know. Can you get any lower? Here is the official movie trailer.
"Conspiracy Theory (1997) Official Trailer – Mel Gibson, Julia Robert Movie HD" from the Movieclips Classic Trailers YouTube channel:
Mel Gibson plays a "crazy man" who produces a newsletter entitled "Conspiracy Theory." Sound familiar?
People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy. People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy. People who believe conspiracy theories are crazy.
This paved the way for President Bush to say,
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty."
—Remarks by the President to United Nations General Assembly (November 10, 2001) [bold-red emphasis added]
And thanks to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, dissenting voices were squashed like never before. All of mainstream media (MSM) is now owned by only a handful of companies with Hurricane Erin evidencing the existence of a centralized body of control above even these companies, something so Orwellian that it truly horrifies me every time I think of it
Perhaps you understand now why Bill Clinton was president all during this time. A magician always uses a distraction to focus your attention away from his sleight-of-hand. The Romans called it Panem et Circenses (Bread and Circuses).
The question you should be asking yourself right now is, What is the Trump circus hiding? Google's YouTube, the last bastion for Freedom of Speech in the United States of America, is a potentially new Library of Alexandria for the masses. Why is there a highly sophisticated, coordinated attack on YouTube?
If you commit "conspiracy theory" you are crazy. Therefore you should not question authority (read mainstream media). Do not question the status quo. This broad intellectual attack has now become "flat earth." If you commit "flat earth" you will become stupid. Therefore you should not try to think for yourself. Accept everything you are told by mainstream media. Acquiesce! Resistance is futile.
"Flat Earth" is the New "Conspiracy Theory"
YouTube is under an attack (or rather YouTube users) no less sophisticated than the "conspiracy theory" design to discourage anyone from questioning the brutal murder of President John F. Kennedy. Only this time, the goal is simply to get you to stop thinking entirely. This attack has "the progeny of Jove" written all over it. I can smell these people. I know them better than they know themselves. YouTube is awash in "flat earth" videos. Why? "Flat earth" is the "conspiracy theory" to end all conspiracy theories. It is an extension of the CIA "conspiracy theory" allure, only this time it is even more sinister in its objectives.
Flat earth videos on YouTube are designed to discredit the work of countless individuals by discrediting the entire venue. Why are the people of the United States of America are under such aggressive intellectual assault?
"Flat Earth" is a critical part of the Intentional Dumbing Down of the Masses. When your enemy is firing a full salvo, an attack is imminent. Think about the level of organization required for this effort to discredit YouTube as an educational venue by drowning it in absurdities. There is a way around this. See "Refining Your YouTube Recommended Videos" in the next section.
TruthStream Media on the Hypnotic State
These videos are from the TruthStream Media channel.
"They Admitted Social Media Is Programming Us"
"Mass Hypnosis and Trigger Words"
My prescription for waking up…
Refining your recommended YouTube videos works. I never see flat earth videos. Never. If you want to learn using YouTube, create a new account and shut down all the popular stuff such as music video channels. Then use channel subscriptions to further help focus your recommendations. Finally, tell Google you are "Not Interested" in any channel that is cluttering your results with nonsense such as "flat earth" videos. In no time you will have an educational tool at your disposal as invaluable as any Ivy League school education, infinitely more convenient, and only about $15 a month (because you really need to go pro and get rid of the advertisements). Then connect your smart TV to your YouTube channel and simply stop watching the mass media. The news is all scripted. You will not miss anything important. I highly recommend these new sources. And for God's sake, walk away from politics. It's a circus designed to distract you.
You must learn how to fine-tune your recommended videos as you would a radio station
Refining Your YouTube Recommended Videos
First you need to create a YouTube account if you do not already have one. You will also need a YouTube ad blocker. I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Assuming you have a YouTube account, go to your "YouTube Home" page. There are always two rows of "Recommended" videos at the top of the page. This is the only place you can do this that I know of. You cannot do it in search results. And you cannot do it while watching individual YouTube videos (more on this in a moment). Before you watch anything, look at all of the recommendations. If any of them are for a "Flat Earth" video (or whatever noise you are trying to eliminate), point at the video name and three dots will appear to the right of the name. Now click on the three dots, select "Not Interested," then select "TELL US WHY," and then finally indicate that you are not interested in anything from that channel. Do this as often as possible to refine your recommended videos. Over time the recommendations will become more and more relevant. If you are not sure about a channel and need to watch the video before deciding, you must right click the video and open it in another tab or window. Otherwise, if you realize it is a channel you want to block, when you press the back button you may be looking at a different set of recommendations. Then you will not be able to tell YouTube you are not interested because recommendations are the only place you can do this. The opportunity to block that channel is then lost until one of their videos is recommended again. You have no control over when that may happen. Trust me this exercise is well worth the effort.
CIA Document 1035-960
Document Title: "Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report"
1. Our Concern. From the day of President Kennedy's assassination on, there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder. Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission report, (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various writers have now had time to scan the Commission's published report and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission's findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably as a result of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission's report, a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results.
2. This trend of opinion is a matter of concern to the U.S. government, including our organization. The members of the Warren Commission were naturally chosen for their integrity, experience and prominence. They represented both major parties, and they and their staff were deliberately drawn from all sections of the country. Just because of the standing of the Commissioners, efforts to impugn their rectitude and wisdom tend to cast doubt on the whole leadership of American society. Moreover, there seems to be an increasing tendency to hint that President Johnson himself, as the one person who might be said to have benefited, was in some way responsible for the assassination.
Innuendo of such seriousness affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole reputation of the American government. Our organization itself is directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments.
3. Action. We do not recommend that discussion of the assassination question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where discussion is active [business] addresses are requested:
a. To discuss the publicity problem with [?] and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation.
b. To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose. The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passing to assets. Our ploy should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (I) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (I) politically interested, (III) financially interested, (IV) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (V) infatuated with their own theories. In the course of discussions of the whole phenomenon of criticism, a useful strategy may be to single out Epstein's theory for attack, using the attached Fletcher [?] article and Spectator piece for background. (Although Mark Lane's book is much less convincing that Epstein's and comes off badly where confronted by knowledgeable critics, it is also much more difficult to answer as a whole, as one becomes lost in a morass of unrelated details.)
4. In private to media discussions not directed at any particular writer, or in attacking publications which may be yet forthcoming, the following arguments should be useful:
a. No significant new evidence has emerged which the Commission did not consider. The assassination is sometimes compared (e.g., by Joachim Joesten and Bertrand Russell) with the Dreyfus case; however, unlike that case, the attack on the Warren Commission have produced no new evidence, no new culprits have been convincingly identified, and there is no agreement among the critics. (A better parallel, though an imperfect one, might be with the Reichstag fire of 1933, which some competent historians (Fritz Tobias, AJ.P. Taylor, D.C. Watt) now believe was set by Vander Lubbe on his own initiative, without acting for either Nazis or Communists; the Nazis tried to pin the blame on the Communists, but the latter have been more successful in convincing the world that the Nazis were to blame.)
b. Critics usually overvalue particular items and ignore others. They tend to place more emphasis on the recollections of individual witnesses (which are less reliable and more divergent–and hence offer more hand-holds for criticism) and less on ballistics, autopsy, and photographic evidence. A close examination of the Commission's records will usually show that the conflicting eyewitness accounts are quoted out of context, or were discarded by the Commission for good and sufficient reason.
c. Conspiracy on the large scale often suggested would be impossible to conceal in the United States, esp. since informants could expect to receive large royalties, etc. Note that Robert Kennedy, Attorney General at the time and John F. Kennedy's brother, would be the last man to overlook or conceal any conspiracy. And as one reviewer pointed out, Congressman Gerald R. Ford would hardly have held his tongue for the sake of the Democratic administration, and Senator Russell would have had every political interest in exposing any misdeeds on the part of Chief Justice Warren. A conspirator moreover would hardly choose a location for a shooting where so much depended on conditions beyond his control: the route, the speed of the cars, the moving target, the risk that the assassin would be discovered. A group of wealthy conspirators could have arranged much more secure conditions.
d. Critics have often been enticed by a form of intellectual pride: they light on some theory and fall in love with it; they also scoff at the Commission because it did not always answer every question with a flat decision one way or the other. Actually, the make-up of the Commission and its staff was an excellent safeguard against over-commitment to any one theory, or against the illicit transformation of probabilities into certainties.
e. Oswald would not have been any sensible person's choice for a co-conspirator. He was a "loner," mixed up, of questionable reliability and an unknown quantity to any professional intelligence service.
f. As to charges that the Commission's report was a rush job, it emerged three months after the deadline originally set. But to the degree that the Commission tried to speed up its reporting, this was largely due to the pressure of irresponsible speculation already appearing, in some cases coming from the same critics who, refusing to admit their errors, are now putting out new criticisms.
g. Such vague accusations as that "more than ten people have died mysteriously" can always be explained in some natural way e.g.: the individuals concerned have for the most part died of natural causes; the Commission staff questioned 418 witnesses (the FBI interviewed far more people, conduction 25,000 interviews and re interviews), and in such a large group, a certain number of deaths are to be expected. (When Penn Jones, one of the originators of the "ten mysterious deaths" line, appeared on television, it emerged that two of the deaths on his list were from heart attacks, one from cancer, one was from a head-on collision on a bridge, and one occurred when a driver drifted into a bridge abutment.)
5. Where possible, counter speculation by encouraging reference to the Commission's Report itself. Open-minded foreign readers should still be impressed by the care, thoroughness, objectivity and speed with which the Commission worked. Reviewers of other books might be encouraged to add to their account the idea that, checking back with the report itself, they found it far superior to the work of its critics.

WASHINGTON, August 23, 2017 — Antifa demonstrators have been demanding the removal of statues commemorating long-dead Confederate generals. They violently oppose the campus presence of right-leaning speakers like Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter, often stopping them from addressing students and shutting down free-speech demonstrations.
Antifa radicals believe American history and all political notions not their own can be summed up in one word: fascist.
Professor George Ciccariello-Maher of Drexel University is a chronicler of the Antifa movement as well as a devoted follower. He told the New York Times the violent group is "driven by a range of political passions" that "includes anti-capitalism." Antifa, he alleges, has its "antecedents in Europe, especially Germany and Italy, where its early followers traded shots with Nazis in the 1930s and fought against Benito Mussolini's Black Shirts," noted the Times.
Peter Beinart also attempts, in the increasingly pro-left Atlantic magazine, to burnish the mystique of these masked avengers. "Antifa," he writes, "traces its roots to the 1920s and '30s, when militant leftists battled fascists in the streets of Germany, Italy, and Spain."
It's clear these men suffer from the self-inflicted, Alzheimers-like, historical forgetfulness demanded by Antifa.
Jonah Goldberg notes in his book, "Liberal Fascism":
"The Nazis rose to power exploiting anti-capitalist rhetoric they indisputably believed. Even if Hitler was the nihilistic cipher many portray him as, it is impossible to deny the sincerity of the Nazi rank and file who saw themselves as mounting a revolutionary assault on the forces of capitalism. Moreover, Naziism also emphasized many of the themes of later New Lefts in other places and times: the primacy of race, the rejection of rationalism, an emphasis on the organic and holistic—including environmentalism, health food, and exercise—and, most of all, the need to 'transcend' notions of class."
The marriage of the American left with Europe's fascist monsters began with the signing of the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939.
In their book "Unto a Good Land: A History of the American People," David Harrell Jr., Edwin Gaustad, John Boles and Sally Griffith observe:
"Political insurgents … joined intellectuals such as Socialist Party leader Norman Thomas and neo-Marxist historian Charles Beard in opposing support for the Allies. Until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the American Communist Party also attacked the war as an imperialist plot engineered from London."
In his inaugural address of 1860, President Abraham Lincoln attempted to de-escalate the tensions between North and South by appealing to their collective consciences:
"The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when touched again, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
But hatred prevented the slave-brutalized South from hearing Lincoln's call for patriotic union. Similar calls for unity today still fall on deaf, uncaring and unknowing ears when it comes to implacable and violent Antifa radicals.
The Mayo Clinic describes Alzheimer's disease as a brain disorder that causes "the loss of intellectual and social skills … the brain cells degenerate and die, causing a steady decline in memory and mental function."
Today, Antifa's hateful violence attempts to enforce a kind of historical Alzheimer's that not only seeks to sever us from statues of Confederate generals but the "new birth of freedom" for America that their humiliating defeat so gloriously engendered.

Compatible Sign for a Taurus
A compatible sign for a Taurus might be different from what you'd expect for an earth sign. After all, the bull is not your typical, run-of-the-mill earth sign.
Taurus Traits and Qualities
Each element has certain qualities that it brings to the signs. Earth signs are all about containing and forming. Earth signs like to be needed and feel as though they are in charge of their part of the world. A Taurus can be stubborn like the proverbial mountain that doesn't yeild to man; you can rarely budge Taurus once that person's mind is made up, so don't even try.
Find a Compatible Sign for a Taurus
Water and Earth Signs
Earth helps water find purpose and gives water form. Without earth's confinement or containment, water would run over everything and everywhere. Water, on the other hand, nurtures earth and helps it grow.These two signs will appreciate and support each other.
Pisces and Taurus
Pisces will be very nurturing to Taurus and will find security in the structured stable life Taurus offers. The only warning with this combination is that dreamy Pisces may be too emotional for Taurus who can become impatient.
Cancer and Taurus
Cancer will love creating a home with Taurus who will give Cancer loyalty and appreciation. Cancer will have all the creature comforts in the home, and Taurus will have a supportive and loyal mate. This is a good combination.
Scorpio and Taurus
Scorpio is passionate, and Taurus is sensual. This duo will have a stormy relationship, but it works for them as long as they remember to make up. Life will be interesting for this couple as they make a comfortable, cozy home together.
Fire and Earth Signs
Fire and earth can work, but it will be a struggle of wills. The natural tendency for earth is to smother fire or at the least attempt to contain it somewhat unsuccessfully. Fire wants freedom, not containment. Fire will leap over earth's embankment and create a wildfire. Earth can also fuel fire out of control, and fire can scorch the earth.
Aries and Taurus
Aries rams through life with gusto and intent. Taurus is slow-acting and methodical. It's difficult for these two to see eye-to-eye on most issues. Aries wants to rush right in while Taurus needs to develop a plan of action and gather information before taking action. Aries won't have much patience with Taurus's way of doing things.
Leo and Taurus
Leo is always in the spotligh,t and Taurus hates being upstaged. There will be a constant power struggle between these two. On a scale for stubbornness ranking one to ten, both of these signs are a ten. Both will vehemently believe he or she is right and expect the other to compromise.
Sagittarius and Taurus
Sagittarius loves life and people, while Taurus prefers taking life and people in small doses. Sagittarius wants to throw a part and invite all their friends and family over, but Taurus wants only a handful of guests and an early night at that. Sagittarius wants to travel, but Taurus prefers to spend vacation money on home improvements. As you can see, this couple won't agree on lifestyle.
Air and Earth Signs
Dust storm best describes this combination. Earth won't budge, and air will simply dance circles all around earth. If earth tries to hold on to air and confine air, earth will be disappointed. Air will simply whirl out of earth's grasp and fly away.
Aquarius and Taurus
Aquarius confounds Taurus. Aquarius will rebel against Taurus's attempt to ground the water bearer. Taurus is loyal and in this earth sign, it creates a kind of possessiveness and even jealousy. Freedom loving Aquarius won't tolerate this kind of behavior in a relationship and needs to be able to come and go without accountability. Taurus will expect and demand to know Aquarius's whereabouts at all times.
Gemini and Taurus
Gemini is like twin tornadoes that Taurus tries to catch and harness. Gemini excites Taurus, but simply can't hold on to the perpetual motion that embodies this sign. Action and change drive the twins while stability, and putting down roots is what Taurus needs. Gemini considers roots as nothing more than tethers that prevent free movement. It won't take Gemini long to sever those bindings and flitter away to a new adventure.
Libra and Taurus
Libra appreciates the finer things in life just like Taurus, but Libra needs a very active social life, something Taurus finds tiresome. Libra also enjoys the art of flirting, and Taurus will view this as a betrayal. Libra can be wishy-washy at times which will try Taurus's patience. Taurus is capable of making choices and decisions and won't understand Libra's ability to see all sides of all issues. This skill makes it difficult for Libra to choose sides when Taurus views such issues as very black and white.
Earth and Earth Signs
Earth with earth creates more of the same. Two earth signs can become as formidable as a mountain. Equally stubborn, there could be rocky roads ahead. Compromise is the only way two earth signs can work together and stay together.
Taurus and Taurus
Taurus is a mirror image of self in this relationship. Too much of the same may create insurmountable obstacles. This relationship will present some unique obstacles, mainly self.
Virgo and Taurus
Virgo appeals to Taurus' practical side. Both are loyal, and both appreciate the perfection of beautiful things. This makes both signs very critical of life as they constantly assess and evaluate. When they turn this on each other, it can be painful and destroy the relationship.
Capricorn and Taurus
Capricorn is Taurus's best earth match. Both love creating a home and enjoy the stability that hard work and saving money gives them. This couple finds comfort and security in material possessions, so they'll have a very nice home and enjoy spending time there.
Final Note
When it comes to finding a compatible sign for a Taurus, it always pays to go the extra mile and have a compatibility chart drawn for the two love birds. This is the only way to truly determine which areas will work in the relationship and which areas will need extra attention.

#TheList puppy farm dealer Marco Tondo, born 18/10/1987, currently of 18 Shawfield Court, Annan, Dumfries-shire DG12 6JB but with links to the Shettleston area of Glasgow, and partner Nadine Campbell, born 07/12/1988, of 39 Colston Avenue, Bishopbriggs G64 1SL – sold sick puppies and ran an illegal 'pet shop'
Wannabe gangster and alleged drug dealer Marco Tondo kept several dogs in cramped conditions at partner Campbell's address in Bishopbriggs in October 2018.
The Scottish SPCA said the puppies were suffering from a number of serious health problems, including worm and flea infestations, parvovirus and coccidiosis – a parasitic infestation.
Investigating officers determined they had come from "suspected puppy dealers".
Five puppies were sold at the "pet shop" where eight other young dogs were kept.
Two dogs had to be put down, one of which had suffered organ damage. Other dogs there were also poorly and underweight.
Tondo, who shares a baby daughter with co-accused Nadine Campbell, was set to face trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court but pleaded guilty to a charge of causing "unnecessary suffering" to the puppies.
Tondo and Campbell both admitted to operating a pet shop without proper authority involving the selling of five puppies and having eight other young dogs.
The court heard Tondo put Jack Russell and Chihuahua puppies up for sale on Gumtree.
Two buyers came to the property in Bishopbriggs, where Campbell was living.
Tondo told them not to feed the puppy on the journey as it would be "sick due to travel."
He claimed one dog had been wormed but failed to forward the paperwork to the buyers. It was later discovered that the puppy had not been wormed or microchipped.
The buyers paid £350 and Tondo did acknowledge that the puppy was "unwell" – it later vomited in the buyers' car and its health deteriorated.
The puppy was taken to the vet for dehydration where its breathing became "laboured" and died.
Tondo could not be contacted and his phone appeared "out of service."
The court heard of another incident when a vet and her daughter bought a dog from Tondo.
The vet noted that the dogs didn't show typical puppy behaviour and were underweight – she also noted there was no food, beds or blankets for the animals.
The vet later bought the dog after discussing it with her daughter and was told by Tondo that the puppy had been vaccinated and microchipped.
The dog's health deteriorated as it became dehydrated and was passing clear watery fluids.
The puppy was taken for veterinary treatment but did not respond to its medication.
A third puppy was then bought on October 21, 2018, at an address in Larbert, Stirlingshire.
Prosecutors said the dog – who also had fleas – then "collapsed, was pale and had a fever".
Vets found it had signs of "organ damage". The dog died on October 25, 2018.
A fourth puppy later sold also needed vet treatment.
The charge stated a number of puppies at the address in Bishopbriggs were "confined in a small cage" and others in a garden were "underweight".
Despite all of this neither Tondo nor Campbell were banned from keeping animals an outcome with the Scottish SPCA greeted with disappointment.
An undercover special investigation unit (SIU) inspector said: "Whilst we welcome and respect the court's judgment, we would have liked to see Tondo given a ban on owning or keeping animals. His disregard for the welfare of numerous dogs led to several puppies becoming unwell and, in two sorry cases, passing away.
"We became aware of Tondo and Campbell following reports by concerned members of the public who had purchased puppies from them that had subsequently become very ill and, sadly in two instances, passed away.
"Working on intelligence we were able to determine that both of the accused were supplied puppies from an unidentified puppy dealer, but failed to keep any form of register of sales carried out.
"Our investigation led us to the home of Campbell. With a warrant, we discovered evidence to support that they were selling puppies on behalf of a third party without the appropriate licence.
"The pups have come from suspected puppy dealers. These people are driven by profit and often have no regard for animal welfare."
The inspector added: "The puppies were suffering from a number of serious health problems including worm and flea infestations, parvovirus and coccidiosis, a parasitic infestation. Tondo's failure to provide veterinary care for these animals would have led to immeasurable suffering.
"Not only did they put the dogs in their care at risk but due to the contagious nature of the diseases the puppies had, they put domestic dogs in Scotland at great risk.
"This has been heart-breaking for the families who bought the puppies from the couple. Not only did it result in large veterinary bills, but also a lot of stress and heartache.
"Tondo has overlooked the most basic welfare standards in order that they can profit at the expense of these animals.
"This case shows that not only are we targeting puppy farmers but we are also taking on those buying puppies from dealers with successful results. This is a reminder that we will not overlook anyone involved in this barbaric trade."
Sentencing: Marco Tondo was ordered to carry out 270 hours of unpaid work in the community while Nadine Campbell was tagged for three months for selling the pups from her home address without a licence. No ban on keeping animals was imposed on either of them.

You might want to think about moving the furniture.
According to documentation for Sony's upcoming PlayStation VR headset, the suggested play space is a whopping 9.8 feet by 6.2 feet (3.0m x 1.9m), which works out to 60.8 square feet, or 5.6 square meters. Those dimensions come from a posting on Sony's asia.playstation.com website, which was first spotted by gaming news website Polygon.
In the various demo sessions of PlayStation VR we've tried over the past two years, the vast majority were either seated experiences or standing ones that required the player to stay in one spot. It seems likely, then, that a play area this large wouldn't be needed for most games. The HTC Vive virtual reality system, by comparison, is built around having a large "room scale" space, but many games can be played with only a small area to stand in.
The PlayStation VR costs $399, £349 or AU$550, and it's scheduled to arrive on October 13.

E.H. Palmer Explanation (Tafseer)
Ayat [1-5] IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
Ayat [6-10] to make the believers, men and women, enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye; and to cover for them their offences; for that with God is a grand bliss: and
Ayat [11-15] Verily, those who swear allegiance to thee do but swear allegiance to God;--God's hand is above their hands! and whoso perjures himself does but perjure himself against himself; but he who fulfils what he has covenanted with God, God shall bring him mighty hire.
Ayat [16-20] Those who were left behind 1 shall say when ye have gone forth to spoils that ye may take, 'Let us follow you;' they wish to change God's words. Say, 'Ye shall by no means follow us; thus did God say before!'
Ayat [21-25] God promised you many spoils and hastened this on for you, and restrained men's hands from you; and it may be a sign for the believers and guide you in a right way;--and other (spoils) which ye could not gain; but God has encompassed them; for God is mighty over all.

The Australian government says Afghanistan's Northern Alliance troops have captured an Australian man who was fighting with the Taleban militia.
Attorney General Daryl Williams told reporters in Canberra today (Wednesday) that the detained man underwent extensive training with Osama bin-Laden's al-Qaida organization. Mr. Williams said the 26-year-old man went to Afghanistan last year and had previously fought in the former Yugoslavia with the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Mr. Williams said the Australian appeared to be more involved with al-Qaida than John Walker -- an American who was captured recently fighting for the Taleban. But the attorney general said there is no information to suggest the Australian man had planned any terrorist attacks in Australia.
Mr. Williams said Australian federal police and intelligence officers have already spoken to the man's family. He declined to say if the captured man will be charged with any crime.

How to solve the bank fee conundrum hurting consumers
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Overdraft protection is disproportionately used by those who rely on it heavily. According to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau research, less than 20% of account holders incur three or more overdraft fees annually, yet they pay over 90% of the overdraft fees triggered by debit cards, ACH transactions and checks.
The ability to overdraw an account is much like taking out a payday or car title loan, but with the advantage that you don't have to do anything to get the credit. Overdraft is also less likely than a payday or car title loan to morph into a longer-term debt since it is repaid as soon as new funds hit the account. But if you are one of the regular and habitual overdrafters, you can end up in a similar financial situation to a payday borrower because your fees can be ruinously expensive.
It is important to acknowledge that overdraft protection serves a significant need for a segment of the population who are living on the edge due to variable income and expenses. But the banking industry has made the situation worse for this segment of its customer base by prioritizing profit over customer financial health. Many banks engage in practices such as reordering transactions from high-to-low to make overdraft more likely, charging a high fixed fee (typically $35) unrelated to the size of the overdraft and boosting consumer costs by charging the fee each time for multiple overdrafts on the same day.
Apart from concerns raised by the CFPB and other regulators, these practices should stop because they are just bad business — totally at odds with their customers' interests and financial health.
At a higher level, banks are also taking advantage of the latency in the U.S. consumer payments system. It is a fact that many customer overdrafts are caused by the lack in the U.S. of instant funds availability and the account transparency problems that creates for consumers. When a consumer looks at his or her account balance before taking cash from an ATM or buying something with a debit card, they get a false signal about how much money is in the account.
The balance shown when the transaction occurs is no guarantee that there will be funds in the account that night. Any other transaction — like an old check or an ACH debit — that hits the account that day can change the outcome. This latency problem drives a large percentage of overdrafts — transactions described in the industry as "good when authorized, bad when settled." It makes low-balance customers play financial roulette when they decide to pay for something with a debit card or take out cash for a meal. It's yet another case of banks not aligning their processes with their customers' interests.
Real-time payments is something that the banking industry has slow-walked for years while others (e.g., Europe) long ago fixed the problem. Why? It's hard not to believe that the advantages banks get from delayed funds availability — including float and, especially, overdrafts — haven't influenced the delays. The Federal Reserve is moving way too slowly on this issue.
There are better alternatives to the current overdraft system, in addition to real-time payments adoption, that banks could implement to help their customers. A variety of mobile fintech solutions can help consumers manage their money, bills and payment timing issues. Companies like Varo Money, Digit, DoubleNetPay, Moven, MyFin, Mint, Earnup, Prism and Albert are all doing things to help customers avoid the need for overdrafts in the first place, and banks could partner with these companies to help their customers. Other fintech companies that work with employers to help employees manage income and expense volatility — like Even Responsible Finance, Flexwage, Active Hours and Payactiv — provide better ways to put consumers on the road to improved financial health. And some banks and credit unions are returning to the old system of overdraft lines of credit, where the credit cost is clear, rather than fee-based overdraft protection.
But what can be done right now to fix this situation? First we need to acknowledge that the banks have a real revenue problem which is stopping many of them from doing the right thing on overdraft. The name of that problem is the Durbin amendment.
One of the key reasons that many banks have kept bad overdraft practices, despite public criticism, is that they have been trying to make up for the dramatic loss of revenue caused by the ill-advised provision added to the Dodd-Frank Act, by Sen. Dick Durbin, that caps debit interchange fees.
Banks need fee income to continue to serve low-balance, lower-income customers who don't buy other services, particularly in a low interest rate environment where the financial value of deposits is low. It's a sad fact that, without adequate fee income, the banks lose money on most of their mass market and lower-income customers.
The Durbin amendment benefited only retailers' bottom line, not that of consumers. Durbin gutted banks' ability to serve mass market and low-income customers who, despite having low deposit balances, were heavy users of debit cards. If you want banking services for mass-market and low-income consumers to be delivered by banks, you can't take away too much fee revenue without replacing it with something, or banks will continue to move away from the mass market to serve only the 1%.
I, for one, think that would be a terrible outcome for all of us.
The banking industry should use the current deregulatory mood to cut a deal with the CFPB, consumer groups and Congress to exchange the repeal of the Durbin amendment for a code of acceptable overdraft practices. A good place to start would be the Pew Charitable Trusts' proposal on best practices. New overdraft standards could deal with transaction ordering, limit the number of overdraft fees charged per day and a reasonable annual limit on the number of overdrafts on an account.
Trading overdraft practices for Durbin relief would help enable banks to stay on the right side of their customers' financial health.

A former electrician who decided to change profession after seeing Christy Moore perform on Irish TV, Dublin-born traditional singer and bouzouki player DAOIRI FARRELL is being described by some of the biggest names in Irish folk music as one of most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years, and he headlines our concert this month.
Daoirí (pronounced 'Derry') had cut his teeth as a singer in Dublin's famous Góilin Singers Club, where he was spotted early on by Christy Moore, and at other sessions across the city, many of which he still visits. Following his studies he quickly found work accompanying artists including Christy Moore himself, as well as a list of names that sounds like a who's who of folk music, including Dónal Lunny, Martin Hayes and many more.
Daoirí finally stepped into the limelight launched his own solo live career at the 2016 Celtic Connections. His determination not to put out another album until he was sure it was the best he could produce, meant that the long-awaited release of True Born Irishman was hugely anticipated. Indeed when a stream of the album was accidentally leaked online for around an hour in July, it was being shared and tweeted about within minutes.
In February 2017 the BBC announced that Daoirí Farrell had received three BBC Folk Award 2017 nominations, more than any other artist that year. He was subsequently asked to perform at the awards ceremony on 5th April at The Royal Albert Hall and went on to win the Horizon Award for best newcomer and Best Traditional Track Award for Van Diemen's Land from the album True Born Irishman.
Opening the evening's entertainment will be ROSIE HOOD, a young folk singer from Wiltshire, known for her strong, pure voice and engaging solo performance. A BBC Performing Arts Fellow in 2015 and a 2016 Horizon Award nominee at the Radio 2 Folk Awards, Rosie has become more than purely a traditional singer.
Having started learning folk songs at an early age from her family, Rosie has a keen interest in the history of traditional songs, particularly those of her native Wiltshire, where she has spent time researching in the local archives and developing a broad repertoire of local songs.
Rosie's Fellowship year with the English Folk Dance & Song Society proved a pivotal point in her career giving her time and space to develop as an artist. The year saw Rosie develop her song-writing with mentor Emily Portman, hone her instrumental skills and even resulted in a transatlantic collaboration with New York based singer and guitarist Jefferson Hamer.
2017 saw the release of Rosie's debut album The Beautiful & The Actual, a collection of old and new folk songs.
Tickets for the event, which takes place at Frenchay Village Hall on Friday 18th May 2018, are available from MELANIE'S KITCHEN or online HERE. They are priced at £12 each in advance (£10 for members), or £14 on the door. There will be a full bar, stocking Severn Cider, soft drinks, wine, hot drinks and locally-brewed real ale from Hambrook-based GREAT WESTERN BREWING CO., and also locally-made NAUGHTY BROWNIES. There will be a raffle with prizes including CDs, gift boxes of beer and sweet treats. You are encouraged to bring your own glass/mug/tankard/bucket as part of our drive to be more environmentally aware.
Before the bands start, a girl on the back row is reading a book by Ursula le Guin. The science fiction writer. This tells you something about Downend Folk Club; it's a place to escape the everyday, a place to explore somewhere different and a place where the extraordinary happens.
Make no mistake, THE RHEINGANS SISTERS are extraordinary. There's a stack of Folk Awards to their names, a multitude of plaudits showered upon them and really, truly it's not hard to see why. Even in this wonderful club we have seen perfectly good musicians drag and scrape a tune from fiddles. Not these two sisters. Rowan (who we've seen before with Folk Goddesses Lady Maisery) and Anna transform two violins into open throated song birds. They are harmonious and complimentary, clear and bright. There are concert halls, "proper" Radio 3 endorsed concert halls, up and down the country that would kill for two musicians this good. And these two are here, in a crowded, warm village hall.
Much of this evening's set is taken from the new album, Bright Field. It's a bit different from their preceding albums. There are not so many trads, covers and re-imaginings; instead we are treated to new compositions. And "compositions" seems the right word. These are tunes that have a classical quality. No mere jigs or reels, these are beautifully put together. Rowan's fiddle is ghostly, melancholic, casting filigree lines while Anna's playfully dances around, kicking up its heels. Her love of, and grounding in, traditional French folk keeps toes tapping even when the music gets a little wintery. The set of tunes Dark Nights/Swinghorn shows this off to perfection. The first tune is Rowan's, dark and brooding; the second Anna's, joyous and infectious. They fit together beautifully.
The loveliest song of the first half is the album's title track. Bright Field is the term that the sisters use to describe that special place that you go to make yourself feel "fuller", to recharge your batteries. Their place must be a one of quite spectacular beauty where the pace of life is slowed to a languid flutter. It must also be Welsh as the song ends with a lovely R.S Thomas poem; Rowan's strong, honest voice further reinforcing the songs message and beauty.
The second set takes us dancing around Europe. From complicated French dance tunes to Ancient English tunes of incredible dexterity. From cowsheds to fields. Some are traditional and old but some have been written by Anna. It's hard to tell them apart such is her skill as a tunesmith. Unbelievably they talk of her knocking out a couple of tunes like this every week. Finally they take us to the lonely expanses of North Norway. To a remote festival and seas teeming with fish. Mackerel is a gorgeous song, a deserved award winner and the finest way to end an evening where two incredible musicians take us to so many different places.
Before all of this IAN A ANDERSON opened up with a short set that conjured moments from Frenchay's folk past. Anderson is a Bristol folk legend; a true survivor from the 60s, a record producer, a label owner (the brilliant 70s label The Village Thing) and a magazine editor as well as a charming and engaging presence. Playing the bluesy-country-pschy-folk beloved of Bert Jansch, Wizz Jones and the like, Anderson gave us a glimpse of what folk clubs must have looked like forty-odd years ago. And a welcome sight it was. There were murder ballads, digs at Methodist ministers, true, tall tales and even a bit of Country and Western. Simple and simply marvellous.
So, as Downend Folk Club celebrates its fourth birthday, The Rheingans Sisters ensure that it was, as ever, out of this world.

Downend Folk Club's promise to bring the best of the UK's folk, roots, acoustic and world music to South Gloucestershire continues this month with a visit from the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning duo THE RHEINGANS SISTERS, as they take their new album Bright Field on the road.
Fiddle-singers and multi-instrumentalists Rowan and Anna Rheingans grew up in the Peak District, surrounded by traditional music and encouraged to pick up the fiddle by their musician mother and violin-maker father from an early age. Rowan is a well known on the English folk scene as part of hugely popular trio Lady Maisery as well as for her work with Nancy Kerr & The Sweet Visitor Band and the Songs of Separation super-group alongside Eliza Carthy and Karine Polwart. Anna lives and works as a fiddle player in Toulouse and is an expert in southern French folk music, having recently gained a first class diploma from the Conservatioire Occitan. As both sisters have also spent a significant amount of time studying fiddle music in Sweden and Norway, they pull a range of influences from both northern and southern European fiddle traditions into their own interpretations, compositions and arrangements. Over the last few years, Rowan and Anna have toured extensively across the UK, and internationally including in France, Sweden and Australia.
The Rheingans Sisters' debut album Glad Gold Hearts was released in 2013 to wide critical acclaim. Their second, award-winning album Already Home, recorded over just five days in a remote forest studio in mid-Wales, is an enticing, thoughtful and adventurous record that quickly caused a stir when it was released in November 2015 and earned Rowan and Anna no less than two nominations at the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. As well as being nominated for the 'Horizon' award which celebrates the best new acts on the UK's folk scene, they won 'Best Original Track' for the song Mackerel.
Opening the evening's entertainment will be IAN A ANDERSON, who, to his considerable surprise, is doing solo gigs for the first time since the early 1970s! Ian has long-since naturally combined many of the musical elements of his 50-year career in old time English psych folk blues world twangery into a recognisably individual style.
Tickets for the event, which takes place at Frenchay Village Hall on Friday 20th April 2018, are available from MELANIE'S KITCHEN or online HERE. They are priced at £12 each in advance (£10 for members), or £14 on the door. There will be a full bar, stocking Severn Cider, soft drinks, wine, hot drinks and locally-brewed real ale from Hambrook-based GREAT WESTERN BRWEING CO., and also locally-made NAUGHTY BROWNIES. There will be a raffle with prizes including CDs, gift boxes of beer and sweet treats. You are encouraged to bring your own glass/mug/tankard/bucket as part of the club's drive to be more environmentally aware.

ASLOG brings together more than 400 companies from all sectors, with 2000 professionals working together to promote and build tomorrow's Supply Chain.

Found in Sanguem District, close to the Goa-Karnataka border, there lies the fifth highest waterfall in India, the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. It is a four-tiered waterfall at the high point of Mandovi River, just 10 kilometers upstream from the village of Collem. Dudshagar is situated in the heart of the 240-square-kilometer Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary. With the apparent and abundant flora and fauna, the biodiversity in this area is considered one of the richest in the world.
Listed as one of the highest falls in the world, this waterfall takes a plunge down from an overwhelming height of 2000 feet. An aqueduct of South Central Railways passes through Dudhsagar. Surrounded by verdant greens of the Western Ghat forests, it makes the entire scenery dramatic and beautiful. The waterfall can be viewed upon a train travel via Londa-Margao railway path in Delhi-Goa Express or Pune-Ernakulam Express. During monsoon season, it becomes even lovelier as it swells bubbling and foam-like waters, attracting hordes of tourists from different places.
The term 'Dudhsagar' is a local word, which means 'ocean of milk' and comes from to its incessant milky white downpour. Swimming in Dudhsagar is allowed and during the pleasant season, you can see plenty of people dipping in the calm waters. The waterfalls offer a stunning view at top view, but it even looks spectacular during dawn. The waterfall appears in an almost straight up, crescent-shaped edge, covered with verdant tropical forest. Birds, butterflies, monkeys and bees have taken their own niche here amidst flourishing flora and the many natural pools that formed at the base of the mountain. The picturesque scenery all around Dudhsagar makes it a very popular picnic site. You can find a couple of large pools nearby that attract tourists for bathing or just frolicking in the waters.
Those looking for adventure and thrill may try trekking or traversing the serpentine footpaths of the mountain, although the path is rocky and full of vegetation and water. Despite being a dangerous spot because of its slippery rocks, the site is popular for hiking and trekking. One can reach the end of the trail in about two hours but the experience is definitely worth it. During the trek, you can find a number of small waterfalls. Adjacent to the waterfall is a railway tunnel, carved out from the rocky mountain. It is amazing to see a tunnel and a stunning waterfall in the midst of the greenery. Reaching the endpoint of the tunnel is the Dudhsagar Railroad Bridge, where you can experience a closer view of the majestic waterfall springing from the top.
Several private operators offer special trips to Dudhsagar Waterfalls while the Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) provides Goa tour packages with Dudhsagar as one of the tour stops. A Dudhsagar Special Tour by GTDC is available every weekend from Calangute and Panaji.
The best way to reach Dudhsagar Waterfalls by road is via a 4-wheel jeep drive from railway intersection Collem village. However, this route is only suggested between January to May, when the water level lets the vehicle reach the base of the waterfalls. However, the usual way to reach it is by taking the train to Margao from Udupi, then to Collem Railway Station.

Very good read and makes so much sense. Sometimes we get so struck in our normal way a of doing things or seeing things that we tend to gold ourselves back from progression. Thanks so much. Have the best day 😊
Nowadays, flexibility is an essential quality for anybody who wants to change a life in a better way. Being flexible means to be able to adapt to the situation and easily overcome obstacles. In my opinion, flexibility is a key to spiritual growth. It helps to fight ignorance and see life from the different sides, in its turn having a full picture of the situation.
To become flexible means to be open to the new information. Often, people are afraid to go out of comfort zone, change their affirmations and accept another point of view. It is the main factor that a person does not grow and as such, this one can't get succeed.
Flexibility is a key tool to reach goals. No matter what your goals are, big or small, difficult or simple. Setting goals means to reach something you haven't had earlier. If you want to receive something you haven't had earlier, you should obtain something new in your inner world.
Nowadays, in the fast-growing world, people should be flexible enough to adapt to a new life easier. To be flexible, be ready to listen to other people. Don't contradict other points of views, maybe if you don't see sense in it now, it can be useful for you tomorrow.

Report Roundup
"Evaluation of the Alabama Accountability Act"
Alabama children attending private schools on a taxpayer-backed scholarship program are not showing significant improvement on standardized tests, a University of Alabama study has found.
Touted as a way to help low-income students escape schools with chronically low test scores, the Alabama Accountability Act provides scholarships and tax credits for students to transfer to private schools. The study by the university's Institute for Social Science Research found that scholarship students frequently outperformed their lower-income public school counterparts, but not the state as a whole. Those students also were not likely to boost their own test scores.

"The Program", a film exploring the story of a sports journalist who goes on a scavenger hunt to expose the truth of cyclist Lance Armstrong's substance abuse, will be making its way to the Indian theatres on March 11.
The release date was announced in a statement on Thursday, and the film is being distributed in India by PVR Pictures.
"The Program", which stars Ben Foster as the world renowned cyclist Armstrong, is directed by Stephen Frears, known for films like "Philomena" and "The Queen".
The film narrates how David Walsh, sports journalist, is convinced of his case and goes the length to prove Armstrong's misuse of substance to enhance his sporting performance.
The film tries to unveil the truth of the low of Armstrong's life when he was detected with substance abuse leading to his disqualification. It opens a dark side of a sporting champion on the silver screen.

It is Christmas time and it is time to wish everybody the best. Let's revise then what we know about wishing and the superlatives:
SUPERLATIVES (click here for further information) >>>
- Remember the difference between 'oldest' and 'eldest' (remember: an elderly lady). Although both of them are possible to use for relatives, it is better to say 'My eldest brother works as a civil engineer in New Zealand'.
- Remember the difference between the RELATIVE SUPERLATIVE , that is, a superlative used regarding a specific group (for instance: "He is the tallest boy in the class"), and the ABSOLUTE SUPERLATIVE meaning 'very' and which does not make reference to any specific group (for example: "The book you lent me was most interesting.")
- Finally, after superlatives we use in with places (the longest river in the world) and of for a period of time (the happiest day of my life)
WISHES AND REGRETS (click here for further information) >>>
- wishes for change in the present (I wish + PAST SIMPLE / PAST CONTINUOUS)
I wish I were rich / we were spending our holidays in Honolulu this year.
- regrets about something in the past (I wish + PAST PERFECT)
I wish At Madrid had defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League Final in 2014.
- complaints about a thing or situation and that you would like it to change in the future.
I wish my students would listen to me (Actually they don't do it, but I would like them to do it).

What on earth was THAT?
Mountain fauna leave paw and hoof prints as clues as to where they have been. They mostly move about in the evening, night and early morning.
Some traces are obvious. You can tell which animal made them. Others not so much, they can be a source of confusion. Just as for flora, you need to take into account the milieu, envisage various hypotheses and interpret data to determine which animal it was, its pace, special features and the time they probably passed by.
Mountain guides are delighted to help you decipher the clues they leave for you in winter or spring.
They live in burrows featuring a maze of galleries, and mainly travel underneath the snow to hide from their many predators (foxes, stoats, dogs, kestrels etc.). Here, a field mouse has dug a tunnel through the snow to the surface then moved to the right. The linear trace it has left is of its tail (which is as long as its body).
Stoats bound along, landing on their front paws. Their back paws then land immediately in the same place. They are voracious, nimble and alert. They feed on field mice, young birds that fall out of their nests, and even newborn hares in the spring. Stoats live out in the open, unlike their weasel cousins which prefer the woodlands.
Wild roses are a source of highly nutritious berries for mountain animals: rose hips. There, a bird just landed to feed on some. The rounded print at the bottom of the frame shows the impact of its tail as it lands. The size of the print left by the tail feathers suggests it was a blackbird or yellow-billed chough.
4 impacts: two at the back, one behind the other, and two others, side by side. This animal practically always leaps along. You can determine its speed by the amount of space between each set of prints.
Mountain hares have very powerful hind paws. They land on their fore paws, one slightly ahead of the other, but in line with each other. They then tip forward on their shoulders for their hind paws to land where the fore paws did. This can be at some distance when they're going fast. This one is coming towards us.
These animals are discreet, crafty and nimble. Mountain foxes are russet coloured when at the same altitude as villages. Their coat can change colour above 2,000 metres. Foxes leave oval-shaped paw prints in a very straight line.
They mostly move at a gentle trotting pace, as shown by their evenly spaced prints: they place their hind paws on the print left by the forepaws. This one is coming in our direction. The fore print has a slightly more pointed shape.
The chamois is a agile goat-antelope which leaves narrow, sharply rectangular prints, making deep marks in the snow at a walking pace. Males can weigh up to 50 kilos! This chamois has left hoofmarks in the snow. The layout of these paw prints and various other signs show that the animal is moving away from us.
