Just three points separated the Newcastle City Novas and Warners Bay at Feighan Park, with Kate Handley's double – including one major late in the fourth quarter – proving the difference.
Despite injuries running rife through the Novas squad, the third-placed team managed to keep just two wins behind league-leaders Nelson Bay and their sister team the Stars.
It was almost the club's third loss of the season however, as Warners Bay carried a four point lead into the fourth quarter.
The Bulldogs opened the scoring through Leesa Wholohan, before Handley and Erin White answered back in the second quarter, handing the Novas a 13-10 lead at the half-time break.
Tracy Baker, who would go on to be named among the home team's best, kicked the Bulldogs' second to give them the go-ahead once more, but an eventual eight-behind haul for Warners Bay proved costly as Handley slotted the late winner.
The defeat leaves Warners Bay contesting the eighth and ninth positions with Singleton, and sees them slip a single win outside a crucial top seven finish.
Elsewhere on the weekend, City struck again through the Stars, as they contested a tight match against Gosford at No.1 Sportsground.
The Tigers kept the Stars below 50-points across four quarters, but it wasn't enough as the undefeated ladies in blue trotted to a 6.12.48 to 4.5.29 victory, helped along by two majors for Kyla Brogmus and Sarah Halvorsen. Gosford's Ange Jones also scored two.
Lake Macquarie also celebrated their second victory of the season, and their biggest score to date, downing Port Stephens 19.7.121 to 2.2.14.
Holly Kozlik and Carla Hill were identified as the lynch-pins of the 107-point win, collecting more than 75 touches between them, while Emma-Jayne Howe kicked six. Brianna Trappett added four of her own.
Cardiff moved within striking distance of the top seven with a 5.11.41 to 2.2.14 win over Singleton. The Roosterettes will be desperate to right the ship in coming weeks, as their recorded stretches to five defeats in the last six matches.
Tori Cowburn kicked the only two goals for Singleton, while an early and a late major for the Hawks' forward Eva Bailey was key to their eventual 27-point win.
Maitland kept hold of seventh place with a 6.10.46 to 2.1.13 win over Terrigal Avoca, with Felicity Millen kicking two, while Muswellbrook fell to Killarney Vale by 104 points at Adelaide St Oval, 14.20.104 to 0.0.0.
Tonicah Eslick was the commanding kicker for the Bombers, notching five for the top four squad, while Georgia Butler added a hat-trick of her own.
Despite the absence of key forward Jesse Jakubowski – who was leading the league's goal-kicking tallies for a time – the Marlins marched to a 14.26.110 to 1.0.6 win over Wallsend-West Newcastle at Dick Burwell Oval.
Jemma Astley stepped up in Jakubowski's absence, slotting four, while Kaitlyn Douglass continued her strong form with three more. Lauren Gruber kicked the Swans' only goal.
Finally, Wyong Lakes celebrated captain Emily Bohan's 150th game across the junior and senior competitions in style, as they charged to a 30.20.200 to 0.0.0 victory over The Entrance Bateau Bay.
Bohan herself kicked ten to mark the special occasion, while Alexandra Pearce added eight and Sarah Ball kicked five.

patience in poker
Texas holdem poker, whether played online or in person, depends a great deal on patience. Patience in poker is one of the most important traits that separates successful players from the ones who go home empty handed. This is because Texas holdem poker is more like a marathon than a sprint. You have to be in the game for the long haul. Overreacting to emotions and quick changes can lead to many mistakes. Getting antsy can lead to playing hands that you normally wouldn't.
A Lack of Patience in Poker Leads to Mistakes
If you don't play Texas holdem poker with patience, it's going to hurt your chip stack. Here are some occasions when you need to be patient, and how it can cost you if you aren't.
- You just had a bad beat: Even good hands can turn into bad beats, and when this happens player often go on tilt. Being on tilt means you are mentally out of the game and you are ready to make over the top, unwise moves. People try to rebound right away from a bad beat by playing bad hands, by bluffing too much and other ways, reflecting their lack of patience and weak mental state.
- You got a great starting hand: No matter how good your starting hand is, it can lead to you losing chips. That's especially true of a strong starting pair in a hand that ends up seeing the river. Pocket aces or pocket kings, unsuited Ace-King and other hands will often be beat by suited, connected cards when players see everything that falls on the flop, turn and river. If you aren't patient playing Texas holdem poker, you might go all in with a pocket pair, only to have somebody call you. If that hand gets played out your chances are only 50% of winning.
- The game has just started: When the game has just started, you don't know the other player's tendencies. It's best to be patient and learn how other people react before getting yourself in too deep.
- The game has been going on for hours: When a game has been going on for what seems like an eternity, it can be hard to keep focus. It's here where many players essentially give up by losing patience in poker and making stupid calls or bets.
How to Be Patient Playing Texas Holdem Poker
Remember, Texas holdem poker is a mental game. You can't control the cards you get but you can control how you play them, how other people think you're playing them, and so on. Here are some ways to maintain your patience in poker and increase your chances of winning.
- Only play the best starting hands: If you play too many hands, generally when you're not being patient, you will end up losing more. Pick the best starting hands and you'll waste less chips and keep yourself out of trouble. Some people play tight and only play 1 of every 5 hands. Other people say playing tight is more like 1 of every 10 hands. Either way, it changes your mindset to what good hands really are and keeps your chips in your stack.
- Let other people expose themselves first: Don't let other players learn your style before you learn how they play. Start a game slowly and be patient playing on line. See how they react to common moves and remember that for later.
- Don't play the hand right after a bad beat: Better yet, take a couple of hands off to give yourself a time to cool down. Texas holdem poker has a lot of volatile swings, don't let yourself get trapped in your emotions. If you lose badly you want to make it up right away, but that never works out.
- Know when to fold your cards: Patience in poker also means getting rid of losing hands before it costs you too much. You can always cut your losses, even it means hurting your pride. But hurt pride is better than a diminished chip stack. Patience in poker means you have to lose sometimes and know when to cut your losses. Sticking out a bad hand hoping for a river card is not patient, and it will cost you big time!
There are lots of ways to maintain patience when playing Texas holdem poker. The most important thing to remember is that patience in poker is vital to success! Impatient players will end up losing their chips. You don't want to be the guy who's on tilt and goes all in with nothing, only to see his chips disappear. Play smart and be patient, and you'll start winning much more.

60 Seconds With Keelan Burke
What is your role?
I have recently joined the NQA Dunstable office as an IT Systems Specialist. Although I have only been with NQA for two months I have been working in IT for 12 years now.
My role involves making sure that all the IT systems for NQA UK and NQA India are running smoothly and effectively and that all users are able to work efficiently. This includes looking after and monitoring servers, laptops, desk phones, mobile phones and networking. If it has a plug and a power button, I am probably involved in some way.
I am the sole point of contact based in the UK for both office and remote workers if they experience any technical issues day-to-day.
Most memorable moment at work?
I enjoyed taking part in the Armed Forces Day and Reserves Day celebrations held towards the end of June by the office to mark the company's support of the UK's service men and women. It's something that NQA clearly take pride in as we have also achieved the Silver Award in the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme and employ a number of ex-service personnel.
Favourite things about working for NQA?
This definitely seems to be a trending theme but it's got to be my colleagues. From the day I arrived I have been made to feel really welcome and even though I have only been here just a short time, it feels like I have been working here much longer. Both the office based staff and the auditors have really gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable and valued.
Top tip for people looking at certification?
One of the issues that I am involved in from an IT perspective is cyber security. It's recently become very prominent in the media following companies like Google and British Airways receiving huge fines for allegedly breaching GDPR regulations. There is so much more to it though and I am a huge advocate of cyber security as best practise for all organizations. Taking a look at ISO 27001 is a great starting point to help get you on the way to becoming a much more secure business and shows you are taking action to reduce and minimise risks and protect your company and client data.
How might you be able to help our readers?
It's my role to make sure that all things tech are working efficiently for NQA and we all know that sometimes technology can be a little challenging and temperamental so please do get in touch if you come across any issues whilst trying to get in contact with the team either via our website or phones and I will endeavour to fix it!

Life Insurance Planning
What happens when you don't have the right protection in place?
We work with both businesses and individuals to thoroughly understand the situation and make important recommendations to help manage risk, achieve long-term insurance goals, and prevent the kinds of devastating surprises that arise when you don't have proper protection.
Tools that could be vital to keeping your business, family and estate protected include:
- Life insurance
- Key-person protection
- Buy-sell funding
- Estate preservation
- Loan protection
- Life/Long-term care combo protection
When businesses change ownership, it's not always by choice.
Did you know that death or disability can force companies to change leadership? Without a proper buy-sell agreement, or the funds to support it, an owner's spouse or an outside buyer can end up taking over for the deceased. That's why buy-sell funding is so critical: It mitigates risk for both the business and the owner's dependents down the road.

Necessity continues to be a source on inspiration. My Lady brought home a puppy just before Christmas and well iyo make a long story short has been an interesting journey, and a crate became a necessity. I wanted ti be able to use the space as a table had to go to make way for it so I figured I would make a top. It is a very simple design, but has a bit of curb appeal and has proven functional.
The construction is pretty straight forward, it has a southern yellow pine mitered frame with a 1/4" sheet of MDF top. The original plan was to utilize some indoor-outdoor carpet over the MDF and call it a day. But after a quick visual scan of the shop I decided to utilize some of the veneer scraps I had. Overall I counted utilizing 16 different species to complete the top. It is finished with 5 coats of semigloss poly.
Among the veneers are: Wenge, soft maple, birds-eye maple, walnut, Peruvian walnut, figured birch, teak, ebonized teak, Chechen, cherry, fir, jabota, sugar pine, mahogany, white oak and one mystery species.

Over the past two years, the world has felt like a rat race: Meetings starting 05:00 – 06:00 almost every day (at least three times a week), near-endless emergencies and fires to put out all while stressing over the piles and piles of work on top.
Needless to say, it has been extremely difficult to feel productive in 2017 & 2018. A lot of important work has been completed… and yet it hasn't *felt* productive – and surely hasn't been satisfying. Why? There are several reasons, but one of the kickers is because I scratched away my time for deep thought… and as a result, deep work too.
With the recent departure from my old company, Socrates AI Inc., I found something I lost a couple years ago – the time and ability for deep thought. Deep thought is satisfying, and it's essential for productivity (mine, anyway). There are a lot of reasons why this happened, none of which I'll share here ;-) but the fact is that deep thought is essential for my own productivity and happiness. It cannot be foregone for large lengths of time without losing something else along the way.
What is Deep Thought?
Deep thought is taking time out of your day to focus exclusively on important thoughts and problems – past, present, and future. It's shutting down distractions like social media, emails, and notifications for a chunk of time to reflect on what you're working on, where you want to go and how you want to go about it. I used to do a lot of productive deep thought a few years ago, and my days then felt very productive – and also very satisfying.
A lot of Software Developers, Engineers, Artists and Creatives NEED deep thought. It's essential. From what I've seen, a lot of managers and executives forget that their team also needs this deep thought to achieve deep work, to feel productive, and also to feel satisfied about their work. It's important to give your team space to work, but it's equally important that you give YOURSELF the space you need to think and work. You are your own manager. You are your own executive. Don't be "that guy" or "that girl" to yourself… give yourself the time for deep thought and deep work that you and your mind crave.

Earthlife Africa Johannesburg (ELA), represented by the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), yesterday submitted comments on the draft climate change impact assessment for the Thabametsi power station, ahead of SA's first climate change lawsuit to start in the Pretoria High Court this week.
The impact assessment was made available for public comment in January 2017 following the Minister of Environmental Affairs' decision to order Thabametsi coal-fired power station to conduct an assessment of the climate change impact of the proposed coal-fired power station in water-stressed Limpopo.
At the same time, the Minister decided to uphold the proposed power station's environmental authorisation – a decision which ELA will be challenging in court from Thursday.
ELA's case is based on the fact that climate change impact is a significant environmental impact, given the impact that climate change will have and is having on water availability and temperature increases, particularly in respect of a proposed coal-fired power station.
Coal-fired power stations are South Africa's single largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ELA argues that the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for Thabametsi did not adequately assess the climate change impacts of the power station, and that these impacts should have been assessed before a decision was made on whether to authorise the power station.
Thabametsi and the state however, argue that Thabametsi's EIA did consider climate change; that there is, in any event, no legal obligation to assess climate change impact; and that the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) can subsequently amend the conditions of the authorisation, and the authorisation can be revoked if those conditions are not being complied with.
The climate change impact assessment released for public comment by independent consultants appointed by Thabametsi states the following:
The magnitude of the power station's emissions (8.2 Mt of CO2 equivalent per year) is very large based on a GHG magnitude scale drawing from various international lender organisation standards; the plant does not represent an improvement on the emissions intensity of South Africa's grid, but only represents an improvement (from a GHG emissions perspective) on South Africa's three oldest coal-fired power plants – Camden, Hendrina and Arnot; and the impact of climate change on water availability, water quality and temperature increases are likely to pose a high risk to the power station in the short to long-term future.
The assessment also says that drought conditions have historically negatively impacted local communities, including farmers and other rural residents directly dependent on water supplies for cattle farming and other agriculture in the Lephalale. Increased water stress may bring about increased community concerns and tension, and the increased dry spells/drought events will affect communities and may threaten Thabametsi's "social licence to operate".
CER attorney Nicole Löser says: "This assessment shows that Thabametsi's environmental impact report failed at assessing the climate change impact of the power station and was incorrect in concluding that the GHG emissions of the power station would not be significant.
"It also shows that the climate change-related risks cannot be mitigated or remedied. In this case, the most cautious and risk-averse recommendation, as required by law, would be that the power station should not proceed."
While ELA has commended Thabametsi for the thorough assessment of the climate change impacts, they have also pointed out that it fails to give adequate consideration to the impact that the power station will have on communities and the environment, and how it will be exacerbated by the impact of climate change. The assessment also fails to make adequate or effective recommendations in light of the significant risks that it brings to light.
Makoma Lekalakala of ELA says: "With the Waterberg being a water stressed area, we have always had concerns over the mass influx of proposed water-intensive developments, such as power stations, in the area, particularly the impact that this will have on communities and farmers who depend on the limited water available. This report confirms our long-held concerns that water availability is likely to pose a high risk for the Thabametsi power station and communities in the area."
Thabametsi must submit its final climate change impact assessment in March 2017. In the meantime, the question of whether the Minister could have upheld the environmental authorisation without the climate change impacts having been assessed, will be argued in SA's first climate change lawsuit on 2 and 3 March in the Pretoria High Court.

First Bell: Standards-based grading holding at sixth-grade level; board president prepares to 'move on'; teacher describes 'E' work
The Lawrence school district's "informational discussion" Tuesday regarding standards-based grading in middle schools included plenty of — you guessed it — information, both during formal presentations and the responses they generated.
Here are three items folks may find of interest:
First: Don't expect standards-based grading to expand beyond sixth grade, at least not anytime soon.
Kim Bodensteiner, the district's chief academic officer, assured attendees during Tuesday's forum at Southwest Middle School that she would not soon recommend extending the use of standards-based grading to other grade levels.
"There are some changes coming in the standards from the state," Bodensteiner said. "And so I would not recommend that we do anything different at (grades) seven and eight, certainly not next year — maybe not for at least two years — because I would like to be sure that we know what those changes in standards are going to look like. And that's not going to happen for two or three years."
A parent raised the issue during the forum, expressing her concerns that the grading system — one that is tied to state standards, with teachers awards an "S" for successfully meeting a standard, an "M" for making progress, a "T" for being targeted for growth, or an "E" for excelling consistently — could inch up into higher grade levels.
The parent clearly doesn't want that, and had posed a direct question: "Can you guarantee us it will not go 7 through 12?"
Bodensteiner's response: "I don't know that I can guarantee anything. …
"There are people who have talked to me who are wishing we did have standards(-based grading) up in higher grades. Some people would like to see more specific feedback for students beyond just the letter grade, even in our high school classes.
"We have not had any formal discussions about doing anything in high school. There has been some discussion about what this should look like in middle school."
The parent's response: "I still don't understand why we're not just leaving it in elementary, and leave well enough alone?"
Bodensteiner: "I will not be making any recommendation to increase anything. …"
Parent: "Will it be sprung on us, the way this was?"
Bodensteiner: "I'm certainly not interested in doing this again," she said, referring to the district having to conduct informational forums to communicate. (FYI: A second forum is set for 7 p.m. today at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, 1400 Mass.)
Bodensteiner's line drew a bit of laughter from the members of the audience, some of whom had came to the forum after having previously attended school board meetings to express their concerns, having signed an online petition to document their concerns, and having scheduled individual and group meetings with administrators and school board members to outline their concerns and make suggestions about how to change a system they clearly regard as substandard.
Bodensteiner, for her part, noted that when the district started planning for the reconfiguration of schools — turning junior highs for grades 7, 8 and 9 into middle schools for grades 6, 7 and 8 — teachers served on 20 committees for middle school and even more for changes at the high schools. District officials had discussed the use of standards-based grades for sixth-graders at meetings of school site councils.
She hadn't expected that retaining the same grading system that's been in place for sixth-graders since 2003 would generate any opposition as it made its way into middle schools this year.
"I misread this, clearly," Bodensteiner told the audience. "I misread it. I get that. We are here now, and so I want to talk about how do we do this, so that we can provide good feedback for kids, provide good feedback for you, and not make a decision based on a lot of emotion that's happening right now but make a careful decision about what's really good for our students."
Members of the Lawrence school board plan to discuss the issue during a meeting sometime in December or January.
Mark Bradford, president of the school board, generated some tension when he discussed the district's plans for standards-based grading at the sixth-grade level.
The board will decide the issue, after hearing from parents and teachers and anyone else who wants to offer input — through letters or forums or emails or petitions or any other format, Bradford noted.
And teachers who may not like it, he suggested, essentially would have a choice to make — just as people decide where they want to live, or where they might choose to work.
"Once the decision is made on how we're going to do grading in this school district," he said, "then that's the way it's going to be."
Kim Beeler, a parent from Southwest who has been critical of standards-based grading in middle school, quickly stood up and accused Bradford of "bullying" the district by suggesting that teachers could "choose to work here."
"It's not fair," said Beeler, who referred to 30 teachers having signed a letter opposing the grading system for sixth-graders. "There's a real disconnect with the teachers. This is our town, and our schools that we pay money for. It's really frustrating to hear that."
Bradford stood his ground: "I'm just saying: When the decision is made about which way we're going to go, if you want to work here, that's how you have to do it."
Beeler described Bradford's attitude as "insulting," especially considering that the district didn't schedule any teachers opposed to the system as speakers during the forum.
Bradford assured Beeler and others that his thoughts reflected a simple reality.
"We have to move on," he said. "We could have teachers from both sides here, (and) it's not going to change anything. But a decision has got to be made, if you're a teacher, on what we're going to do so we can move on."
One teacher who accepted the district's invitation to make a presentation to the audience was Therese Brink Edgecomb, who teaches sixth-grade language arts and social studies at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School.
Edgecomb drew positive comments from attendees regarding her consistent use of standards, her clear outline of student expectations, and especially, it seemed, her tying of traditional letter grades to standards-based grades.
In Edgecomb's book, the only students who can earn an "S" for a particular standard are those receiving an A or a B for that standard, she said. An "M" for making progress? That's reserved for kids earning a C in that standard.
An "S" is considered her highest grade for students doing grade-level work. A student could get all questions correct on a test or an assignment or anything else, and such achievement would be assigned an "S."
To earn what many parents consider to be the best grade — an "E," for excelling consistently — a student would need to be doing work beyond his or her grade level. Consider a standard related to research, she said: Writing down information from a source would represent satisfactory grade-level research, meeting the established state standard.
Consistently interpreting information from a source, and applying it to reach conclusions would be going to the next level.
"That's awesome," Edgecomb told the crowd. "That's 'E' work."
Several attendees lauded Edgecomb's clear expectations, passion for teaching and detailed standards for achievement.
One parent expressed a wish that such consistency could be present in every class at every grade level.
"Then we probably wouldn't be here," he said.

Interviewed by Ewa Larsson
Please introduce yourself and your kennel to our readers, and tell us why this particular breed.
We are located in northern side of Greece at the city of Thessaloniki. We make a totally selective breeding with a very few number of litters per year. Our bloodline comes straight from Italy, the country of origin of our breed mostly from the famous Porta Dipinta kennel, Rosso Malpelo, Valle dei Lord & dei Martinotti. After a long search through books, google search for the utilization of the breed not from the eye of a breeder but as an owner which needs a polyvalent dog , I ended in Cane Corso.
What made you want to be a dog breeder in the first place?
As the time was passing by and I was getting more familiar with my cc and then with the rest of the cc's I bought I started to realise how concerned I was with the issues and problems of this breed which I was facing maybe everyday. I was deeply in love and my goal was to rescue and finally to preserve the breed I loved most…. Selective breeding was my very first idea to cherish this breed through ages and finally give to the new incomers things that were really important for the breed itself.
How did you get introduced to this breed?
Since I was a child I always remember having dogs in our yard. I really can not imagine myself without a dog…. Many breeds went through my family's hands but when I grew up i found myself into a quest for something really special…something that could veil my idea of a sleepless guardian, a companion which loyalty will never be in a doubt and a sweet home dog ready to make all it takes to steal a smile of you…. After a long time of reading and searching my quest had an end, I was 100% sure that Cane Corso is the dog I was seeking with such a passion.
What improvements do you want to bring to the breed with your breeding programme?
My idea is first of all healthy dogs, full of the correct temperament of the breed. The way is carefully selected stud male and bitches and a few and selective breeding of very strong bloodline coming only from the country of origin ' Italy. Health tests and mental tests are priority to achieve the better result. Of course a lot of love and patient to maintain the quality in high levels.
How does ( Cane Corso) differ from other breeds?
Corso comes out the Latin "Cohors" which means guardian , protector. Corso are smart, trainable, eager to please, versatile, and docile. Intensely loyal with their humans… all these features takes them to number one of what a family or a single man could ask for…
Do you see any difference in (your breed) of today compared to the (your breed) of 10 years ago? If so, what are the biggest differences you see?
Of course you can find differences as the time goes by , but this is normal as the dogs live different , their food and supplement are not the same and of course their use is different than before. So we find differences in general appearance and then in their temperament. As breeders we need to maintain and preserve as most of their mental characteristics as this is the main heritage of the breed.
What advice would you give to those who are starting breeding?
Breed because you love and your purpose is to spread the word. Always be honest and think first the animals and then yourself…. Never quit education!!! Read, learn and search from the mentors. Be open minded and admit your mistakes.
What are your efforts put into in order to build a great reputation (besides the dogs)?
We are in position to be proud that always assistant our new puppy owners. We create a special and lasting relationship that goes even in friendship sometimes. We keep in contact and always receive updates, pictures and remarks for their puppy development. We organise socialization puppy days and seminars with several subjects. We offer a contract that gives a guarantee for HD and ED dysplasia issues as well for autoimmune hereditary diseases and also gives us the opportunity to ensure our puppys way of living with some terms written in.
How important is it for a breeder to have an online presence nowadays?
An online presence is extremely important nowadays as the way of life of modern people does not leave any time for personal relation' a digital advertising and a well designed website always updated with the latest news it is an essential.
Would you like to add something?
I would like to express my gratitude for trusting us making this interview. It was a wonderful chance to share our thoughts and features of this wonderful breed. Many thanks to The Dog Magazine for this issue!

And to the benefit, there would be no one blaming anyone for any mishap at the end.

Dive into the internet pool to explore different honeymoon vacation ideas like beach holidays, Cruise holidays or the newly trending private island holidays, all of which comes packed with affluent luxury and elegance.
After gaining the priori knowledge about the options, connect to a travel consultant to ease out the final execution. But if you are still undecided about your destination or the type of vacation, he is always there to help you attain deeper clarity. The notion that travel consultants charge high is truly a myth.

Luxury Train Travelling: Hop onto the luxurious trains like the Palace on Wheels, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels, Maharaja Express, Golden Chariot, Deccan Odyssey and Southern Splendour to experience the awe-inspiring destinations; from royal Rajasthan to candid Madhya Pradesh, from oceanic southern to hilly eastern region of India.

Book one of the best of the luxury honeymoon resorts or heritage hotels for your perfect honeymoon, because exclusivity of this occasion definitely calls for some extravagance.

Not everyone can afford homeownership, but just because you lack a yard does not mean you cannot enjoy dog ownership. Even those who live in an apartment in a skyscraper can own a dog. Before purchasing a dog, check your lease and make sure the apartment complex allows dogs. Some only allow small dogs and others have banned dogs like rottweilers. It is wise to know this before you get a dog.
However some dogs naturally need a lot of space to run around and to burn energy in. However, this is not the case for all dogs.
If you think that just because you live in an apartment you need to get a small dog to save space, you would be wrong. Even the biggest dogs can live in an apartment very happily.
Yorkshire Terrier
The yorkshire terrier makes an excellent apartment dog because of its size. The yorkshire terrier is a very tiny dog that only weighs about fifteen pounds at most. Historically, the yorkshire terrier was bred from other terriers to be smaller. Unlike other terriers, they were bred to be better lap dogs instead of hunters.
Also unlike other terriers the yorkshire terrier is not an extremely energetic dog. They do have a certain amount of energy and playfulness that needs to be fulfilled, but because of their size they do not need a large yard if any.
Yorkshire terriers also have a good amount of independence. Once properly potty trained, they will be perfectly happy being left alone in your apartment all day while you are at work. Yorkshire terriers are like a shy person, they need some time away from people to recharge. Even though they need some time to themselves, yorkshire terriers are incredibly assertive. They like to nudge their way into every activity making them a fun little addition to your apartment.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The king charles spaniel is a great little apartment dog. They are a little smaller than cocker spaniels, but look just a beautiful. If you are a clean freak, these dogs my not be for you. Their hair tends to shed quite a bit so you may have to sweep more often.
If you have a lot of people over to your apartment, the king charles spaniel is the perfect dog. They love meeting new people and are very friendly. They get so attached to human company that they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. They are a good dog if you have roommates that can keep them company during the times you are away.
The king charles spaniel is also a good little snuggler. They do not have a huge need to play frequently so they make an excellent lap dog. The king charles spaniel is also one of the few dogs to interact very well with cats and other dogs.
American Staffordshire Terrier
The american staffordshire terrier only makes a good apartment dog if you can be active with it. If you like to go for lots of walks or jog, this dog can be a well behaved apartment dog. This is a good option if you wanted something that looked like a pitbull or a bulldog, but your apartment does not allow them.
They do require more exercise than other dogs on this list. They make perfect companions to those that live an active life. When they are not bursting with energy, they are just big old couch potatoes. They have a high endurance for physical activity, so they do not like short games of anything.
The staffordshire terrier can be destructive if you leave it alone when it has a lot of energy, so it is recommended you have someone to watch it during the day.
This may surprise a lot of people. Greyhounds are notorious racing dogs. However when a greyhound is retired from racing they become what people call the '45 miles per hour couch potato'. the greyhound still does love to run so this is another dog for people who love to walk or go jogging. They can gain weight very easily if they do not get enough exercise.
Greyhounds also love to be around people. Like yorkshire terriers, they can be very assertive. If you and some friends are all sitting around, it will want to be in the middle of that. The greyhound is also great with strangers. They make poor watch dogs but good dogs if you have a lot of people over.
If you have to be gone for long periods of time for work, it is not recommended that you get a greyhound. they need almost constant attention to remain happy. If you really want to make a greyhound happy, get them another greyhound playmate.
Great Dane
If you were surprised by greyhounds, you will definitely be surprised by this. A great dane being a good apartment dog seems like utter madness, but it is really not so. Great Danes, while huge, are also extremely lazy. They do not need to run around and they love nothing more than to just lounge around on the couch. If you live in an apartment by yourself, this is the perfect option. You will never feel alone with a great dane taking up half your couch or bed.
The great dane is also incredibly quiet, which your neighbors will be thankful for. However, when they do bark it is extremely loud. Thier size and loud bark make them a decent watch dog. Burglars will definitely be frightened off by a dog that is almost as tall as them.
While good apartment dogs, you might get a few strange looks if you live in a sky scraper apartment and walk around with a great dane. Thier size makes them stand out like a sore thumb.
They are true gentle giants though. They are very low maintenance dog when it comes to attention. They have a nice low energy level so you do not have to worry about playing with them all the time.

From WilhelmWiki
Please note: If you are uncomfortable with wiki formatting, it is acceptable to create an unformatted wiki entry, as long as you notify an admin via their Talk page so the entry can be properly formatted. To find an admin, check the ActiveUsers list and look for any users with the administrators group after their user name.
When adding new pages to the wiki or editing existing pages, please use the following conventions:
All Pages
For very short entries, always use the stub template at the top of the page:
To created a bulleted list, use an asterisk as the first character on the line:
*Bullet point 1 *Bullet point 2 *Bullet point 3
Which will produce:
- Bullet point 1
- Bullet point 2
- Bullet point 3
A link to a another page in the wiki can be produced by enclosing the exact page name in double square brackets:
This is a link to [[Zemira George Wilhelm]]
Which will produce:
This is a link to Zemira George Wilhelm
By using a pipe character, you can display text that is different from the name of the page. The name of the page goes to the left of the pipe, and the text you want to be displayed goes on the right:
This is a link to [[Zemira George Wilhelm|Z. George Wilhelm]]
Which will produce:
This is a link to Z. George Wilhelm
The Wilhelm Wiki uses the same formatting as Wikipedia, so their cheatsheet at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet may be of use.
Default Template
Default template for a person:
{{Infobox ancestor | name = FirstName MiddleName LastName | image = | birthdate = | location = | deathdate = | deathplace = | father = | mother = | spouse = }} '''FirstName MiddleName LastName''' (birthdate - deathdate) ==Biography== ==Images== ==Sources== [[Category:People|LastName, FirstName MiddleName]]
Living Persons
If the entry is for a living person, add:
The {{living}} tag accomplishes two things: One, it ensures that only a logged-in member of the KnownUser group can view the entry. Two, it adds the following text to the entry:
The person in this WilhelmWiki entry is currently living. Therefore, personal details should be kept to a minimum out of privacy concerns. Ideally, only the individual listed in this entry should add details beyond the initial page creation if more information is desired.
Naming Standard for Women
The standard for women is to always create the initial page using their maiden name, and then refer to any married names within the body of the article. If using their married name on another page, use the pipe symbol in the link back to her page like so:
This is a link to [[Clarissa Harden|Clarissa Wilhelm]]
This result will be formatted like so:
This is a link to Clarissa Wilhelm
When linking to days, use the format:
[[November 9]], [[1950]]
This will produce links to both the specific day, and the year. Once you have saved the page, click on the link to the day. If it already exists, simply add the info for the event you were referencing as shown in the example below for the birth of Zemira Wilhelm. If the day does not exist, create it using the example below as a guide line.
'''November 9''' is the 313th day of the year (314th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 52 days remaining. ==Events== ==Births== *[[1872]] - [[Zemira George Wilhelm]] (d. [[1950]]) ==Deaths== [[Category:November|*09]]
Consult Wikipedia to determine the day of year info. Once the day has been updated or create, go back and click the year and add the event to it as well. Again, if the year does not exist, add it using the default template for a year:
{{Year nav|yyyy}} '''yyyy''' was a common year starting on dayofweek of the Gregorian Calendar. ==Events== *Event 1 *Event 2 ==Births== *[[April 20]] - [[FirstName Lastname]] (d. [[1842]]) ==Deaths== *[[May 3]] - [[FirstName Lastname]] (b. [[1856]]) [[Category:Year]][[Category:yyy0s]]
Category example for 1953: [[Category:Year]][[Category:1950s]]
Places in the wiki should always be be named like so:
- Cites: Rockville, Utah
- Counties: Washington County, Utah
- States: Utah
To maintain proper links to the pages, the pipe command should be used to force display of the short version of the name. For example, Rockville, Washington, Utah is produced using the following link:
[[Rockville, Utah|Rockville]], [[Washington County, Utah|Washington]], [[Utah]]
At the very bottom of the page, always remember to add the Places category tag:
Uploading Photos
In the "toolbox" section on the left panel there is a link to Upload a file. Click it to get to the Upload page.
Under Source file, click Choose File and pick the file you want to upload.
The Destination filename will automatically fill in, but you may want to change it to something more memorable, like "Andy Wilhelm Headstone.jpg" or similar.
Next fill in the Summary with a short blurb about the image, then click upload at the bottom.
Once it is uploaded, you'll see the media page for the file you uploaded, and right at the top you'll have the name you gave the file. This name it how you are going to link to it in articles you edit or create.
There are a couple of ways to embed the images you've uploaded. For the first example, here's the link for Clyde's horse that is on the Main Page:
[[image:ClydesHorse.jpg|300px|center|Toy horse made by Lydia Hannah Draper for her grandson Clyde Irving Wilhelm]]
That specifies the image we want to use, how many pixels wide to display it at, the justification, and the text that appears when you hover over it.
On a person's bio page I usually set up a little gallery, and for Clyde I did the same thing, although his horse is the only image in it so far. The gallery is set up a bit different, it looks like this:
<gallery widths="250px"> File:ClydesHorse.jpg|Toy horse made by [[Lydia Hannah Draper]] for her grandson [[Clyde Irving Wilhelm]] </gallery>
There's a couple of other ways to get your image on a page, but those are the two main ones I use. When in doubt, click "edit" on a couple of pages just to see how they are coded, and check the help page (or contact the Admin...)

Military Test Provides Career Guidance, Researchers Find
Educators looking to prod high school students into thinking more deeply about career choices might take a cue from the military, according to researchers from the American Institutes for Research.
Investigators for the Washington think tank based their advice on a study of a testing program given by the military each year to about 1 million students.
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Career Exploration Program, or ASVAB, is primarily a recruitment and placement tool. But any student can take the two-hour test and fill out the accompanying survey to find out what occupations match his or her interests and abilities.
As a way of getting a foot in the door, military recruiters will even visit the school to help students interpret the results and to provide career information.
The AIR researchers evaluated the program during the 1994-95 school year for the U.S. Department of Defense's manpower data center.
What they found was that the program is an effective way to get students--many of whom receive little formal career counseling--to think hard about what they want to be when they grow up and what they need to do to get there.
"One might say high school students are in real need of career guidance, and this program really fills that need," said Roger Levine, who directed the portion of the study that focused on the program's impact on students. Other researchers looked at the program's effectiveness as a recruiting device.
'Career Maturity'
Mr. Levine and his colleagues presented their findings here last week during the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
As part of the study, the researchers surveyed 1,100 students in 48 high schools across the country at three points during their school careers: just before they took the tests, at the close of the semester in which they were tested, and again almost a year later, when most were seniors.
The students' responses were compared with those of students at 12 randomly chosen high schools where no ASVAB program was offered. The researchers also surveyed 300 guidance counselors to see if their responses matched up with those of the students.
"The bottom line story is that, after the test, kids who participated in ASVAB showed significant improvement in terms of their career maturity," Mr. Levine said. In other words, they were a little more certain about their career choices. Those students were more informed about the kinds of skills or preparation required for their chosen careers and were more likely to have talked with a school counselor or a military recruiter, for example.
"Usually a program effect dissipates hours, days, or weeks later," Mr. Levine added. "But a year later, when we looked at career-exploration behaviors, we found these effects were persistent, and there was the suggestion that they became more profound with the passage of time."
This was true, the researchers said, even after they took into account the fact that students were a year older and might naturally be more interested in deciding on a career path.
And the counselors confirmed that ASVAB students were indeed seeking out career advice in greater numbers.
Moreover, the program seemed to have the same effect on students regardless of their race, their gender, or whether they were enrolled in an academic track or a general education track.
"I was really shocked that I was able to demonstrate an effect so easily," Mr. Levine said.

Zika Virus Warning Up-Date
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded its Zika virus travel warning to an additional eight countries. As a reminder, while the mosquito-borne virus causes only mild illness in most people, there is mounting evidence linking it to a birth defect. Specifically, the CDC is recommending that pregnant women consider postponing travel to any area where Zika virus transmission is ongoing, and women who are trying to become pregnant talk to their doctors about the risk of infection before travelling.
The 24 countries now covered by the CDC warning are Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Samoa, St. Martin, Suriname, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Venezuela. The CDC cautions that "specific areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing are often difficult to determine and are likely to change over time."
Your clients will likely have questions about the disease and its ability to spread while traveling. You may want to direct them to http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/zika-travel-information for the most up-to-date recommendations.
Finally, the Associated Press reported today that several airlines may be offering refunds to certain travelers concerned about the Zika outbreak. TravelPOINTS recommends that where warranted, check with respective carriers directly to determine their most up-to-date policies regarding refunds and exchanges related to the virus as this issue evolves.

If you have Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and even if it works perfectly at this very moment, it is very important for you to know a few things that may be really useful if you ever experience some problems with your device. One of the basic things is to know how to wipe cache partition on Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Why is this significant for you? The Android OS will store the temporary files in the cache partition directory. After using the device for some period of time, the junk and temporary files will pile up, and some files may get corrupted. When that happens, you may experience some problems with your smartphone, such as slow performance, the device may become unresponsive, it may reboot randomly, there may be apps issues, and so on. In that case, it is advisable to wipe cache partition. It may sound like a complicated task, but actually, it is quite simple.

> it's possible to create everything with this powerful language!
ok, how do i create a multithreaded program using a runtime with no global interpreter lock?
it would be nice if the variables used had enforced static typing too
It's really annoying when I have to change scope and need to manually delete X spaces from each line for a specific block, if I had braces I could just add or remove them.

Use a better text editor than notepad. Seriously.
Select line range and tab or shift-tab to change indentation in notepad++, visual studio, vscode, probably most other windows software. << and >> in vim.
I wouldn't say Python is shit.
It's a Language that has it's Ups and Downs. The same applies to all Languages. No Language is perfect.
I myself hate Python due to it's Syntax, how it handles Whitespace and the fact that it's an over-rated Language.
it's a programmign language. It's quite trash but there are worse. it works fine if you want to do something quickly, and has a great net scraping library.
much better for taping things together than php
it breaks everything whenever you actually have to do something important on a non-debian based distro
Python is a great scripting language, you don't need everything to have fun.
I can write a simple script with command-line arguments to read an Excel file, dump JSON, parse everything, talk to a database, in a few lines of code.
Add PIP and venv, and you have a brain orgasm for your daily tasks. No language is perfect.
My own website is slated to use captchouli at some point in the future.
You can also use a hidden input field that a user would never interact with, but a bot would send an input to. Then you can safely block all requests made from that input field.
That's hardly foolproof, but the only reliable ways that I know of that do not require user input are JS-based and make determinations using analytics. So basically, what you're asking for is botnet.
captcha is heinously anus
Why does C shart suck so much?
Because it's Java except made by M$ so they don't have to put up with Oracle's bullshit.
Which is a perfectly understandable motivation, they just missed the memo that everyone on the planet stopped giving a single fuck about Java the nanosecond that HTML/CSS/JS became mature enough to create cross-platform apps in.

What are your (current) hobby projects? What languages or libraries are you using? How usable or complete is it? What makes what you're doing novel or great?
No need to be smug or anything, or get all angry at other people for using <thing you hate>. Just share what you're up to. Add a URL if it's public too, if you want.
I'll start. I'm writing a stack-based language in Racket for use in embedded devices. It's already got Hindley-Milner style type inference, it just needs to actually produce output.
I'm also planning a modal text editor that feels like vim and a music-making program somehow.
But enough about me. Let's get some actual content on the front page of /code/.
Still going. Currently aiming to write a Lua REPL in it. You write code in this language in the REPL, and whenever you evaluate something, it compiles everything it needs to Lua, writes it out to a temp file, and runs it in lua or luajit or something. That's the plan, anyway.
Trying to write a gopher browser with ncurses and shit
let me guess, in go?
Update: it's going well
It's a pretty fully-functional language at this point; by default it is interpreted but you give a command-line flag to the interpreter and it outputs the Lua equivalent instead.
So far I've got

I will never understand the rivalry between C and Lisp. One's a low-level language designed to make systems programming more orderly and make operating systems easier to port. The other is a high-level language designed so that it could be abstracted as far as the programer needs to fulfil very specific tasks.
It's like comparing Python and Ada or Javascript and C#. What do you even hope to accomplish with such a thing?

If you're looking for one more reason to go on Pinterest and shop smarter, then good morning, Sunshine.
Now is the time to learn how to pin with a purpose to spend less and keep it all organized on a pin board.
If you struggle to find the time to organize all your money saving tips and lack motivation and time to even try.
Don't let your wallet suffer any longer.
Store it all in picture heaven.
How to Turn Pinterest into a Shopping Haven
I confess. I'm addicted to Pinterest. It was love at first sight. I'll find any reason to escape to my visual pin board oasis. Pinning anything that's visually appealing somehow gives that little short term jolt of dopamine we all need here and there.
Pinterest has been growing by leaps and bounds. If you don't have a Pinterest account, I'm sure by now, you at least know what it is. Many people seek it out for inspiration when they're looking to freshen up decor, get crafty, or feel the urge to bake. Just know, there is more to Pinterest than cupcakes, crafts, and DIY projects. It's a great place to shop,spend less, and house all of your money saving tips for future reference.
More specifically, here's exactly how other Pin lovers use it:
1.Photo shop 'til you drop.
Cynthia Sanchez of Oh So Pinteresting believes the sky is the limit when it comes to Pinterest. Cynthia is a sought-after speaker and coach that helps business owners navigate Pinterest and maximize the benefits the virtual pin board platform has to offer to score traffic, leads, and sales. She often gives workshops or consults one-on-one with clients to identify what works best for their field or industry. I asked Cynthia to give one small tip to help people get started. She explained that "beautiful photos are vital when it comes to showcasing your work and presenting yourself as a business on Pinterest. When using photos, they need to be of good quality and communicate your message well to stand out from the rest."
One of her own boards gives photography tips and tricks. Cynthia understand that it's a basic step when it comes to showcasing yourself on Pinterest. Cynthia even showed our readers how Pinterest can maximize your savings if you're in the market for a camera. She explains how to comparison shop using Pinterest to do so. If you'd like a detailed description, you can read more about it here.
2. Stretch your food dollars.
Laura Fuentes, owner of Momables believes cooking is king when it comes to saving money on food. She is a perimeter shopper that prides herself on making meals from whole foods. She spends roughly $150 a week to feed her family of 5 and even shops organic. She reaps savings by avoiding the center of the grocery store. She doesn't buy boxed cereals or snacks which tend to be pricey. This frees up room in her food budget. She shares her insights and recipes on her blog and Pinterest boards. She categorizes them nicely by breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and more.
3. Gifts galore.
Kendal Perez of HassleFreeSavings.com believes "Pinterest is also a great source to finding alternative places to purchase gifts. For example, I pinned a beautiful watercolor of a pitbull as a gift idea, then ended up buying the print from the Etsy store at which it was being sold for $35. I haven't found anything like it and the price was definitely right for my budget. Later, I commissioned a custom portrait from the same artist as a gift for my husband. It's a keepsake. I never would have owned had it not been for Pinterest." Even if you aren't ready to purchase right now, it can take the edge off of a well needed shop therapy fix. Sleep on it and let the ideas marinate a bit.
4. Tip Storage
We use certain money saving tips more often than others. At times, I need a refresher of what items go on sale at different times of the year. I hate it when I miss the window for say a mattress or other big ticket item that goes on sale. I don't want to pay full price so I find myself waiting a whole year. I decided to set up a board exclusively for money saving tips. This way I can quickly reference a tip that I may otherwise forget.
If you can't get enough of these tips. Here are five more ways to save on Pinterest.
