3 Types of Argument

competing models of SU behaviour following M1

Engineering Argument:

There are two ways to implement something. Neither option is perfect -- both have their own compromises, which are known and measurable. Argument centres on which compromises are most acceptable.

Example: should the bike-shed be made from wood or brick?

Artistic Argument:

There are two ways to implement something. Both are functionally correct, but have unquantifiable differences. Argument centres on intuition and opinion.

Example: should we paint the bike-shed topaz or cyan?

Religious Argument:

There are two conflicting points of view. Both are utterly wrong. Argument has no centroid and no limiting factors.

Example: should the bike-shed be built to honour the green walrus or the almighty unicorn?

Giant Blocks Of Polar Ice Are Being Displayed In London To Highlight Climate Change

Alex Landon Alex Landon - Editor

Ice Watch

Ice Watch is a poignant reminder of our impact upon the Earth.

Chilly and chilling in equal measure, Olafur Eliasson’s latest art project, Ice Watch, forces us to confront the mark humanity is leaving upon the planet. Launching on Tuesday December 11th, 24 blocks of polar ice will be displayed outside Tate Modern (along with a further six in the Bloomberg Arcade), and gradually melt away – just as the polar ice caps they came from are melting.

Before you start thinking this is a counterproductive display, fret not. Eliasson hasn’t been hacking away at precious ice sheets – the ice had already sheared off into the Nuup Kangerlua fjord when they were harvested. The artist, in collaboration with geologist Minik Rosing, has elected to rescue them and bring them over here, to bring the impact home.

It’s a powerful art installation which aims to show the public climate change in real time. The hope is that the tangible effects of global warming will inspire us to live more responsibly. Even the date is auspicious; Ice Watch launches on the same day that world leaders will meet in Poland for an important climate change summit. Although it’s hard to predict the rate of thaw, the project will hopefully be in place until December 21st.Ice Watch

Members of the public will be able to touch the ice, and see their impact melt it even further. Of Ice Watch, Eliasson says “I hope we will connect people to their surroundings in a deeper way and inspire radical change.” Given that the most recent IPCC report warns that we have only 12 years to limit the impact of global warming, we can only cross our fingers and hope so.

How Delta is breaching even the most effective anti-Covid ...

How Delta is breaching even the most effective anti-Covid defences

Authorities in many countries, not least China, have had to rethink their vax campaigns

Bloomberg News

The rise of the highly contagious Delta variant is challenging even the most aggressive Covid-19 containment regimes, an ominous sign as economies look to open up and return to pre-pandemic life.

An outbreak that started at an airport in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing is testing that country’s zero-tolerance measures, which are some of the most sweeping and comprehensive in the world. New infections are rising by the dozens and seeding subsequent clusters around China, despite well-honed systems of mass testing and stringent quarantines. Beijing reported its first locally transmitted infection in six months on Thursday, linked to an outbreak in the southern province of Hunan, among people who’d recently been to Nanjing.

The variant is scaling some of the toughest virus defences, with “Covid Zero” places — countries that had snuffed out the virus within their borders — still seeing outbreaks, despite strict antivirus measures...

The Johnson County Charter Commission could make changes to its home rule charter next year, which could add elected positions to county government or remove elected positions, like sheriff from future ballots.

Similar to a constitution, the Johnson County Home Rule Charter established the county’s government structure and outlines who has the authority to do what. Residents narrowly adopted the charter 20 years ago.

“Johnson County is kind of an aberration,” says Clayton Barker, an attorney and former member of the commission tasked with reviewing the charter in 2011.

For instance, in most Kansas counties, voters elect a county clerk, county treasurer, and a register of deeds. In Johnson County, the county manager hires those positions.

The charter includes a process to review it and propose changes via a 25-member commission that meets once a decade. A fresh charter commission starts in 2021.

“The idea is to get a larger group of people from informed areas of the population. It’s kind of like outsiders, but informed outsiders to give it a review,” Barker says.

Voters must approve the commission’s recommendations.

Republicans in the Johnson County Senate appointed Mike Pirner, Lenexa, to the commission 10 years ago. The charter commission met for nearly a year, spending the first several months learning how different departments within the county government operate.

“In the latter part of the year, we began to focus on proposals for charter amendments and other recommendations to improve county government,” Pirner recalls.

Commissioners debated making county commission elections partisan, making the county sheriff an appointed position rather than an elected role, and expanding the membership of the county commission from seven to nine.

“Several of those proposals got very close to a majority of the commission, but fell short,” Pirner said.

The 2011 commission concluded without putting any questions to voters.

“My recollection of the whole process was there was one group pretty happy with the way things were and there was another group that wanted some changes,” Barker recalls. “It was sort of almost a unified reform agenda. The reformers didn’t have the majority so nothing changed.”

Pirner hoped to see some reforms in 2011.

“Last time, about 10 or 11 members of the commission were interested in putting questions to the voters. A slim majority, however, basically ran the clock for the full year and made literally no recommendations on ways to improve county government and just focused on rejecting our ideas,” Pirner says. “That was disappointing, as to pretend everything is perfect seemed short-sighted to me.”

Pirner hopes the 2021 commission will consider putting some questions to voters. First, he’d like voters to consider expanding the size of the board of commissioners from seven to nine.

“That question was last submitted to the voters in 2000, and it passed handily. Given the size of the districts has expanded to nearly 100,000 in the intervening 20 years, I’m concerned about adequate representation. It seems like a harmless question to put on the ballot,” Pirner says.

He’d like to see partisan elections for county commission races.

“Keeping county elections as the only nonpartisan race in even years is increasingly revealing itself to be a bad idea, and voters deserve a chance to weigh in on this question again,” Pirner says. “This isn’t an idea to help Republicans either. The fact is that partisan elections would arguably help both parties equally. As this election demonstrated, Johnson County is pretty evenly divided. It also ensures both parties have a choice in November.”

A variety of individuals and groups make appointments to the 25-member panel including House and Senate legislators from Johnson County. The county caucus will appoint six members of the commission. Republicans hold a slight edge in the Senate with five Republicans and four Democrats representing Johnson County. The political balance of power in the county’s House caucus will depend on the outcome of two tight races. (At last count, Republican Rashard Young leads Democrat Linda Featherston by one vote in a House race to represent parts of Overland Park and Lenexa. Republican Terry Fredrick leads Democrat Jennifer Day by 5 votes in a race to represent part of Overland Park.)

Additionally, each county commissioner appoints one individual from his or her district. The Johnson County Republican and Democratic parties each appoint two people. The committee will also include two members of the Johnson County Planning Committee, and three members from the Johnson and Wyandotte counties council of mayors. The charter prohibits elected county and state officials from serving on the commission.

Renovated Victorian Stunner in Cathedral Hill Asks $3.275M

New, 1 comment

Purchased just over a year ago for $1.355 million, 1527 Sutter has gotten a complete facelift and is asking nearly triple last year's price. From structural upgrades to sleek designer finishes, the property has that just-flipped glow. Although the neighborhood just misses Lower Pac Heights, the property's interior space very nearly makes up for it. The 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms are spread over 3 levels. The master suite -- which includes a spacious closet and sitting area -- and two guest bedrooms occupy the upper level, while the final bedroom is tucked away with the media room and wine cellar on the lower level. The open-plan living area on the main level has sight lines that sweep from the front to the back of the property. Topping it off is a back garden with patio and landscaped lawn.

Lookin’ Vine: Exploring the Most Beautiful Napa Wineries

CC BY-ND 2.0/katedubya/Flickr

Surrounded by such spectacular scenery, it’s no great feat for Napa Valley wineries to be beautiful. But some are much finer than others, of course, so for those looking for the quintessential wine country experience, here are some of the most beautiful Napa wineries of an already beautiful bunch.

Castello di Amorosa

Well known on the Napa Valley wine trail for its authentic medieval castle, Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga makes for a striking place to taste wine. The castle itself was designed and built to traditional specifications, using thousands of tons of hand-chiseled stone and more than a million bricks that were actually taken from Hapsburg palaces. It has 107 rooms, a moat, a drawbridge, five turrets, an ancient (pre-Columbus) fireplace, secret passages to explore, suits of armor, 13th-century wine presses and even a torture chamber.

Del Dotto Vineyards

Del Dotto Vineyards in St Helena has a rich heritage of winemaking dating all the way back to the 1400s in Europe. The family actually has vineyards beyond the locality of this one, producing cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese among others. However, above all for many visitors, Del Dotto represents a chance to view the extensive underground caves and drink wine by candlelight down there.

Clos Pegase Winery

Another Calistoga winery, Clos Pegase is known for its bold, post-modern architecture dubbed “America’s first monument to wine.” It sits behind a large courtyard entrance and portico framed by Corinthian columns, as well as a 19th-century marble fountain celebrating the Roman god of wine, Bacchus. It’s a great stop off for tourists, not only to sample the wine, but to soak up the extensive cultural offerings — from sculptures to paintings, both inside and out.

Robert Mondavi Winery

The architecture at the Robert Mondavi Winery is also something to behold. Located just off Highway 29, the modernistic adobe Mission-style building calls to mind the simplicity and refinement of Europe. When it was built, it represented the hope of vintners and other pioneers right across California. Reservations are required for the more in-depth tours of the property but not for tastings.

Sterling Vineyards

One of the main draws of Sterling Vineyards is the fact that it was built to resemble a Greek monastery atop a hill. The other main draw is the aerial tram to reach it, which is also a great opportunity to take in some of the stunning countryside around it. Visitors can also gaze down at the vineyards and landscape from the vantage point of the winery itself, of course, before heading on down to the cellars.

Can you think of any men who were held accountable for CIA torture? No, you cannot. That is why deputy CIA director Gina Haspel should be the agency’s next director.

There were many men involved in the CIA’s rendition, detention, and interrogation program, which involved torture. A few of them back Haspel for CIA director because they recognize how sexist it is to demand accountability when they escaped consequences and were able to to go on tour with their books that are destined to populate the shelves of Goodwill thrift stores forever.

Several Democratic senators and human rights organizations insist on scapegoating Haspel, even though she said she would oppose an order from President Donald Trump to restore the torture program.

Haspel’s words are apparently not good enough because she is a woman who helped cover up torture instead of a dude who helped cover up torture.

Absolutely it was wrong for Haspel to destroy videotapes of interrogations, but let’s not forget that was a man’s decision. Jose Rodriguez, the head of the CIA’s clandestine service who wore the big boy pants, gave the order. Haspel went along with it (because evidently feminism has not come to the CIA yet).

Thought experiment (in full compliance with the Geneva Conventions): Imagine if Haspel had male genitalia or even chose to identify as a man, which liberals would support because they believe anyone can be whatever gender they want. Certainly, Haspel would not be put through the same gauntlet of questions. Congress would not bother with oversight because the CIA would find some sophisticated way to obstruct them.

Come to think of it, if Haspel was a transgender person, it would clearly be groundbreaking for the LGBTQ community. When would this country ever have a chance to confirm a pro-torture transgender person for CIA director again?

Bottom line: Shouldn’t a woman who has been to the dark side be able to add to her sterling résumé of depravity and rise to the top of an agency like nothing ever happened?

What happened to moving forward without looking backward?

There should be no double standard on women when it comes to getting away with crimes and coverups of those crimes.

Fortunately, ten senators on the Senate intelligence committee recognized that equality starts with confirming “Bloody Gina,” who deserves a chance to commit a new cycle of immoral acts just like past male directors.

There’s no such thing as perfect love.

Nina Chandler knows this to be true. Even so, love is the one thing missing from her almost perfect life. With a medical degree and new house, she’s worked hard to twist and tug her dreams into reality. But with her twenties almost over, it sometimes feels like she slept through the party and woke up to find everyone gone.

When a young woman cannonballs into Nina’s world, she’s a big, bold example of everything Nina isn’t. Page, with her edgy personality and free spirit is…perfect. Nina struggles to understand why someone so effervescent would be drawn into her small, suburban life, but her insecurity fades before the glory of Page’s adulation.

Of course, there’s no such thing as perfect love.

Nina tells herself that, when small red flags rise and fall. A moment of pure, selfish recklessness. A sharp word, a bone-cold look. But if there’s one thing Nina has always been good at, it’s hushing the voices of doubt that get between her and her ambitions—until those dreams start to spin out of control, and become a nightmare she can’t wake up from.

In addition to the low drag LIMITLESS body, which comes already trimmed and decaled, we've included front and rear wings that can be customized to tailor the downforce to your preference. To further enhance the aerodynamics, the chassis design includes a front splitter to balance downforce distribution and a rear diffuser that increases downforce and grip, enabling you to corner faster and with confidence.

DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH — underneath the aerodynamically engineered body is a 3mm anodized aluminum chassis with a center brace for maximum strength. The heavy-duty 4X4 drivetrain features durable steel drive shafts plus all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals. The diff module can be removed by taking out just four bolts, making maintenance as speedy as the LIMITLESS roller itself. A sliding mount makes motor access quick and easy, too.

Big bore oil-filled shocks on black-anodized front and rear shock towers keep the dBoots Hoons all-road tires firmly planted for maximum traction. The tires are mounted on speed wheels with extra-durable hubs.

About Shematria

The Shematria Gematria Calculator is a research tool for people engaged in the study of the Bible and other Occult texts.

Shematria converts words to numbers. It makes working out formal gematria calculations easier and faster to do. Shematria accepts calculations in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic & Roman scripts. The calculator only carries ciphers that have been proven to have been used in the Tanakh, the New Testament or the Book of the Law*.

The name 'Shematria' is a contraction of the words 'Shem' and 'Gematria'. in Hebrew the word 'Shem' means 'name'.

The name 'Shematria' has the same gematria value as the word 'Gematria'. A common title for God in Judaism is 'HaShem', meaning 'The Name' (of God).This calculator allows you to add and subtract as well as do simple division and multiplication (with single letters).

It will not count any numbers that you enter if they accompany letters. If you enter numbers only, it will check our database for other examples of words and calculations that match that number.

The Shematria database is curated. Please see our guidelines for submission to our database. The Gematria Bible is an interlinear Bible that includes the gematria of every word. It can also speak the verses in Hebrew or Greek for you to reveal poetic meter, rhyme, and other audible features of the text.

If you'd like to learn more about the formal system of Gematria, please consult 'Behold! The Art and Practice of Gematria' by Bethsheba Ashe.

* With the exception of the Arabic cipher which is only experimental at the moment and has not yet been evaluated for use with texts such as the Quran.

Marie Nelson takes center stage at Omaha Fashion Week

Marie Nelson takes center stage at Omaha Fashion Week

By Scott Bidroski

For Gordon resident Marie Nelson, months of preparation, brain-storming, and creating was crunched down into just seven minutes. In those seven minutes, Nelson’s twelve pieces she created for her showing at Omaha Fashion Week (OFW) walked the runway.

And when everything happens so fast, it’s hard to get a grasp on how it was seen by the judges. That is until Nelson received word that she was the Showcase Featured Designer Winner for the Saturday show at OFW. Nelson finished in the top spot over her twelve other competitors.

The process for the 2021 OFW began for Nelson during the quarantine of 2020. But dig a little deeper and you will realize that sewing has been a part of Nelson’s life for a very long time.

“I began sewing when I was 8 years old,” said Nelson.

“And I started in 4-H, of course,” added Nelson with a smile.

Quite befitting that the origins for sewing began in 4-H as Nelson is currently the 4-H Extension Assistant for the Sheridan County 4-H Office in Rushville.

Nelson continued on her path in sewing by earning Top Seamstress her senior year and then doing custom work on the side during her college years.

Nelson took her first dive into OFW in 2013. She has done it four more times since then, including 2021.

The process began for OFW 2021 with an interesting source for inspiration.

“The theme for my 2021 collection was Ghost Town. During quarantine, everyone was stuck at home and there was no traffic in town,” said Nelson.

Nelson also utilized a new tool to help take her collection to the next level; a laser cutter for fabric.

Using the laser cutter to provide looks that had never been seen on the runway at OFW, Nelson said she thought the new creativity would give her a chance to be at the top.

She presented her portfolio of work in her tryout, then had an online interview to present the twelve looks and fabrics. All the looks have to be completed a month before the actual show and Nelson made the trip to Omaha to have her looks photographed and partake in an in-person interview.

Nelson then set the music for her show and brought a unique addition to her show; tumbleweeds.

Nelson also had to select twelve models to showcase her pieces, with most of this process being done online.

Two models though were right in Nelson’s backyard as they are both students at Gordon-Rushville High School.

Senior Shawna Shadbolt and junior Hadleigh Hoos each stepped up to the plate to be models for Nelson and the pair knocked it out of the park.

“I wanted to have some local girls involved with the project. It gave them an experience that they had never had before and they did very well with direction and ideas,” said Nelson.

Shadbolt and Hoos had to attend a “Model Boot Camp” in preparation for the event. By participating in OFW, they were also eligible for a contract from Develop Models in Omaha.

The pair also participated in a professional photo shoot in July of 2021. Pictures were taken at the Historical Museum in Rushville and at a rural farmhouse in Sheridan County.

Nelson, through her position at the Sheridan County 4-H, offers sewing classes to both adults and children. The classes for children take place on the school days that have an early out and the adult classes are usually on a weeknight. If interested you are encouraged to call the Extension Office at (308) 327-2312.

Nelson also has her own website,

On the website, you can shop the looks that Nelson created for her winning collection at OFW and you can fill out a contact form for any custom work you may need.

Nelson has experience in upholstery, leather work, quilting, and alterations.

She also creates custom wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, flower girl dresses, and has done some suits in the past.

The International Baccalaureate, Explained

By 2020-06-24 13:57:39

Ewan McCallum, Head of Sixth Form at Wellington College International Shanghai, discusses the challenges and benefits of the IB Diploma Programme

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is one of the most prestigious pre-college or pre-university qualifications that a pupil can achieve. It is a highly challenging course that gives pupils the chance to fully explore their potential paths ahead in their academic career as well as their own capabilities as a learner and thinker.

While most secondary school pupils (and their parents) will have heard of the IBDP, not everyone knows exactly what that means or why it’s important.

The Basics – What is the IBDP all about?
Unlike the A Level curriculum, whereby students will typically study three-four subjects in-depth, the IBPD consists of six subject groups and the Diploma Programme (DP) core curriculum; comprising Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay (EE).

This wider range of subjects is designed to enable pupils to complete a broader exploration of learning without specialising too narrowly too early on in their formal education. Ideally, this approach will give them the ability to not only enjoy a more holistic education, but also guide them on to a future university and career path that is right for them.

The Benefits – What does the IBDP offer pupils who take it?
I get asked this question a lot by parents whose children are about to undertake the IB, and by the pupils themselves. Why study six subjects plus the DP core if you already know what subjects you are good at from the GCSE/IGCSE years, right? Why not just focus on three subjects which are most likely to result in the best grades? The problem with this approach is that firstly it is based on the assumption that the pupil truly does know what they are ‘good at’. Wellington’s guiding principle is that a holistic education is the best path to prepare our pupils. By studying more subjects, more widely but still in-depth, pupils are truly able to discover where their talents and interests lie.

Together with the DP core, we believe that this approach sets young people up to be very capable and versatile thinkers. The IBDP achieves this with its emphasis on independent learning and being proactive and resilient throughout the two years of study. These are abilities that pupils need now more than ever before, as our world continues to change faster and more noticeably.

The Challenge – Isn’t IB incredibly hard?
The IB has a well-known reputation for being challenging - and that’s because it is. Balancing the need to explore six different subjects and produce work of a consistently high standard, alongside the demands of CAS, TOK, and the EE is not easy. However, the challenging nature of the IB is a big part of its inherent value. The course expects a lot of its pupils. It pushes them, focuses them, and, crucially, it opens up new horizons for them. So, while the difficulty of the task might seem daunting at first, know that the rewards are significant.

The Response – What does the ideal IB pupil look like?
For me, the ideal IB pupil should be all of the following things:

  • A diligent time manager – Every pupil needs to be able to be organised and capable of making the best use of their time each day, with appropriate support, of course, from the College, their teachers, and tutors.
  • An effective communicator – Ask- ing for help when necessary is not a weakness, it’s a strength; particularly in the context of the IBDP. Pupils need to be open about their performance and their experiences during the course. They also need to come forward and proactively engage with their teachers, especially if they are experiencing difficulties.
  • A hard worker – While the level of work involved in the IBDP is always manageable with the right approach, coasting is not an option. Pupils need to be thinking strategically about keeping on top of their current workload while looking ahead to key deadlines for internal assessments, essays, and other major pieces of work that contribute to their final grade.

The Result – What does life after the IBDP look like?
While we can’t fully guarantee where a pupil will end up after they complete the IBDP, I can say with complete confidence that it will help them discover where they truly want to be, and give them the best possible chance to get there. Perhaps more importantly, Wellington sixth formers completing the IBDP will leave school confident in the knowledge that they have fought for the options they deserve and made the choice that is right for them. During my time at Wellington, I’ve had the privilege of seeing many pupils mature in a very short space of time, making honest, self-aware decisions about what paths inspire them. Similarly, I have seen pupils go on to study at universities that, at the beginning of the programme, felt completely out of their reach. This is what happens when hard work, willpower, and the right amount of ambition collide.

With the right support, the IBDP gives pupils the tools they need to succeed at their chosen higher education course and in later life. More importantly, it improves their ability to tackle new challenges and to cope with pressure and failures. They have grit and resilience, the ability to understand their own inherent strengths and weaknesses, and vitally, to know what they want and how to go after it.

GC: Chapter 46

46. He Likes Me

JingYuan had never thought his little prince would be that…passionate. One after another, YiHan’s cries melted his heart into sweet syrup. The little one cried his name over and over during then. What did that mean? There’s only one answer. YiHan liked JingYuan.

At that thought, laughter nearly burst from JingYuan’s lips. But now that he thought back to the past, were all that fuss and temper tantrum before due to YiHan realising his feelings for JingYuan? Was he unable to look at JingYuan in the face because he couldn’t accept the change in sexuality?

No wonder YiHan broke up with that girlfriend so soon after getting together. When JingYuan recalled that meek girl, jealousy rose in his heart. However, he could finally relax. Hmph. He no longer had to hide his envy of that girl. The one his little one liked was him!

The day JingYuan and XueQing announced their engagement, the boy was in such a bad mood that he wouldn’t even hold eye contact with JingYuan. Afterwards, YiHan kept avoiding him. Was it because he was…jealous? How can he be so cute?

It was all his fault. Everything was going okay. Why did he agree to XueQing’s rotten idea? It made the little one upset. Imagine. The little one just understood his feelings. Before he could gather his courage and face them straight on, he was told the one he liked would soon be his brother-in-law. How heartbroken he must have been.

JingYuan’s arms around YiHan tightened. His heart ached. Upon consideration, he had been a great, big, bloody bastard!

Fortunately, with tonight’s incident, he was able to understand this shy little one’s feelings in time. A great crisis was averted.

JingYuan kissed YiHan’s forehead once more and gently stroked his soft hair. Everyone said that those with soft hair had soft hearts. They were right. Don’t be fooled by his slashing claws. Frankly, all that was because they spoiled him rotten. He was truly a softie inside. See. When faced with the engagement between JingYuan and XueQing, YiHan didn’t throw a tantrum. He just hid himself away to stew in his sadness. What a heart wrenching sight.

Ah, the little one’s grown up. But he’d much prefer YiHan was still the way he was before. Shout and throw a tantrum with all his might whenever he’s upset. Vent out all his frustrations. Then, YiHan would feel much better.

Now though, he’d force himself to smile and comfort his family while he’s in a bad mood. The one he liked was going to be his brother-in-law. He accepted it in silence. It really made JingYuan’s heart shake with pain.

YiHan’s obedient and mature ways really made one’s heart throb in pain, JingYuan thought. He would rather the little one remained immature so he could spoil YiHan forever.

Was he part of why YiHan changed? It was all his fault. He was too careless. He didn’t realise the other’s deepest thoughts in time. Still, it’s too late to think about all that. He’ll just dote on him even more from now on in hopes of turning YiHan back to his carefree ways.

The brows of the boy in JingYuan’s arms smoothed back in comfort. There was a tiny bit of excited flush remaining on his fair face. His lips were plump and ripe. The few parts of YiHan’s neck and shoulder which could be seen peeping from beneath the blanket were littered with red bruise marks. The sight made JingYuan’s blood rush about and his lower body began to rise once more.

JingYuan let out a bitter chuckle. There he is, suffering and too afraid to touch YiHan again while YiHan was snoring away. His little one was exhausted, and this was his first time. How could he bear to wake YiHan up?

He shut his eyes. He can’t look anymore.

However, the moment JingYuan closed his eyes, the image of the intense incident from just now drifted before his eyes. The passionate gaze of his little one. The slightly agape lips. The body which shivered with his thrusts. The mouth which kept calling his name…

No! Stop thinking, JingYuan. Just when did you turn into a pervert who only thought about debauchery all the time?

    1. Me too.

      Será porque, quiere malcriarlo, porque se aprovechó de la borrachera, porque en la otra y en esta línea de tiempo fue un idiota que se dejó manipular por la hermana para ser el “cuñado”, porque en la otra línea de tiempo no investigó y no le creyó, porque es un ególatra… ahhh suficientes razones para hacerlo

Twinshield is a combination gasket, consisting of a knitted wire mesh bonded to a non conductive elastomer strip. The product is available in a variety of permutations of mesh and elastomer, to combine excellent EMI performance, with a dust, environmental, or pressure sealing capability.

Monel, TCS, aluminium and stainless steel wire types are all available, either with or without an elastomer core. When selecting wire type, it is important to consider optimum shielding performance versus galvanic compatibility. Either solid mesh or elastomer cored mesh can be used to configure in EMI performance, a second mesh gasket can be bonded to the other edge of the rubber strip.

EPDM, neoprene (or a blend of both) and silicone rubber may be used in sponge or solid form, for the non conductive carrier strip. A pressure sensitive self adhesive backing can be applied for ease of application.

Twinshield is available in continuous lengths of up to 10 meters or cut to size. The alternative is for us to supply you with custom made ‘picture frame’ gaskets, in accordance with your drawing.

Mechanical compression stops can be incorporated into the design of the gasket, thereby limiting the risk of causing compression set, or damage to the seal. Compression stops are available in two forms, as an aluminium collar which is bonded into the fixing hole, or as a small metal disc which is normally fitted either side of the fixing holes. In both cases the ‘stops’ are designed to allow a predetermined level of compressive force to be applied to the gasket.

Moulded Twinshield is a variation on the conventional product design in as much as the knitted wire element, rather than being bonded to the rubber, is moulded into a solid silicone elastomer.

The product is normally supplied as an ‘0’ ring for fitting into a channel, where it can provide full environmental protection, so long as the fastener arrangement is designed adequately.

A table of standard part numbers is shown on page 30, however if the size that interests you is not shown, please contact us to discuss your requirement.

Twinshield can be configured using a multitude of different profiles and sizes.

Material Specifications

Monel DIN 17743 or B53075 NA13, alloy 400L. Wire diameter 0.11mm.
T.C.S. ASTMB-520-70. Wire diameter 0.11mm
Aluminium BS1475, Alloy 5056. Wire diameter 0.l1mm
Stainless Steel AISI 304. Wire diameter 0.11mm

Solid silicone ZZ-R-765 class 2
Sponge silicone MIL/AMS 3195
Solid Neoprene RFI 0205

“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.” ~J.K. Rowling

Are you looking to make improvements in your life? Have you considered using the law of attraction to your advantage, but it doesn’t seem to be working for you, or you don’t feel like you know how to “do it the right way?”

If so, stick with me as I share some of the most powerful law of attraction exercises around. These are proven exercises I’ve used myself that actually work!

Law of Attraction Exercises: Begin with Intentional Vibration Management

A few years ago, I created a term called “Intentional Vibration Management.” This is a practice that is similar to mindfulness, but it requires that you are constantly paying attention to your thoughts and emotions so that you can choose to intentionally form your experiences and perceptions. Due to my own experience in practicing this process, I shared it with my audience as a healthy way to take back control of their emotions, minds, experiences and lives, as demonstrated in this video.

The truth is that most people don’t really understand how to manage their vibrations – or they don’t believe it matters. Well, today, I’m going to share some of the best law of attraction exercises you can use to do exactly that. If you haven’t already guessed, it begins with the Law of Attraction.

What is the Law of Attraction?

If you have heard of the movie, The Secret, you have heard of the Law of Attraction.  At its most basic level, the Law of Attraction states that everything is created by thought and that thought attracts to itself physical things, people, situations and circumstances. Your thoughts are attracting these things in this very moment. So, we attract whatever we choose to give our attention to – whether wanted or unwanted.

Most of the time, we attract by ‘default’ rather than by deliberate choice. We just sort of go through our day, focusing on problems that need to be solved or on things that did not feel good nor seem right. In so doing, we are actually creating more problems, more of what does not feel good and more of what does not seem right.

So, to put it simply: your thoughts create your life. If you think negative thoughts, you draw negative occurrences into your life and if you think positive thoughts, you will only magnetize positive happenings into your life.

Law of Attraction Exercises: The Basics of How to Use the LOA

Clearly, the law of attraction goes a bit deeper. Life is full of circumstances both good and bad. There are always going to be occurrences in life that we would rather not go experience. However, the law of attraction dictates that you have the power to increase the positive and minimize the negative.

The law of attraction dictates that every thought you have creates your life to show up as how you think of it. There are several steps to the law of attraction and how it works. It always begins with a thought and ends with a result.

1. Your Thoughts Create Your Life

You may not always have the ability to control life’s circumstances; however, you always have the ability to control your own thoughts. When preparing to use the law of attraction, it is beneficial to get into a meditative relaxed state of mind. Then after you have cleared your mind and find yourself in a peaceful place mentally, you can go on to the next step.

2. Focus on What You Want

In order to properly utilize the law of attraction, you need to be clear on what you want. It is said that the universe is the ultimate responder, what you ask for is what you will receive and what you think, you will create. It is imperative that you are focused and clear about your intention. If you do not know what it is that you want, then the universe cannot deliver your desire to you.

3. Set Your Intention

Once you are in a relaxed state of mind, have focus, and clear on your intended outcome, then send your intention out to the universe. In order to set your intention, you must feel the experience in your mind and it must occur in the present tense. See yourself in that position, with that person, in that scenario. Feel the excitement or the joy or whatever emotions you can conjure up; put yourself in the moment of fulfillment but in your now.

4. Be Thankful for the Intended Outcome

Walk around confidently knowing that your intention is on its way. Be thankful beforehand for the intended outcome and even go as far as being excited that you cannot wait to receive what you have asked for.

Before you know it, the more you practice, feel, and believe, the more joy you will bring into your life and the lives of others.

Bottom line: the Law of Attraction is always working, whether you’re consciously using it or not. Good news, though – you do have some control here. There are techniques that you can use in order to make the Law of Attraction work for you so that you can get what you want out of life.

Law of Attraction Exercises: Meditate With Creative Visualization

First and foremost, if you are interested in utilizing the Law of Attraction to its fullest potential, make sure that you begin each day with meditation. Meditation is important as it brings your focus toward what you desire and what you expect for that day. Creative Visualization is a powerful tool in creating the feelings behind the desire. It is not enough to just meditate on something you wish to attract into your life.

Visualizing brings it to life.

Creative Visualization takes it one step further by incorporating the feelings you are feeling as you see yourself :

  • Receive the reward
  • Get the friendships and relationships you want
  • Increase your financial status

As you embrace the feelings of joy and happiness, you will see that more joy and happiness will enter your life. Creating visualization makes this happen by using your emotions as triggers.

Law of Attraction Exercises: The Art of Being Grateful

Being grateful means truly understanding how much we already do have without asking for any more. When you are in a state of gratitude, so many more things to be grateful for come our way. Take a look around you, there is so much to be grateful for, but you need to stand up and take notice. When you start to understand the simple blessing such as butterflies or flowers that envelope your life, you will feel more joy.

Once you feel more joy, you will manifest more joyful events in your life.

Law of Attraction Exercises: Put It on Paper

If you really want to get the most out of the Law of Attraction, then you must consciously control your own thoughts on a daily basis. Sometimes you must control your thoughts on a moment-by-moment basis. If you find yourself going into negative or self-sabotaging thoughts, you need to take responsibility in several ways.

  • Think positively
  • Concentrate on all that you are grateful for
  • Give yourself positive affirmations

By creating your thoughts to show up as you wish, you create your life to show up as you wish, as well.

About our films

In Pursuit of Silence (in theaters June 2017)
Beginning with an ode to John Cage’s seminal silent composition 4’33”, the sights and sounds of this film delicately interweave with silence to create a contemplative and cinematic experience that works its way through frantic minds and into the quiet spaces of hearts. As much a work of devotion as it is a documentary, In Pursuit of Silence is a meditative exploration of our relationship with silence and the impact of noise on our lives. From the Desert Fathers of the third century AD who became a model for early monasticism to John Cage’s 4’33” which would go onto inspire a generation of artists, humankind has had a long fascination with silence. Yet in our race towards modernity, amidst all the technological innovation and the rapid growth of our cities, silence is now quickly passing into legend. From causing aggressive behavior to hundreds of thousands of heart attacks around the world, there is no aspect of human life that noise does not infringe upon. Silence as a resource for respite and renewal from the sensory onslaught of our modern lives is now more important than ever before.

La Source (2012)
Narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash), in what The Washington Post calls an “artfully shot documentary,” La Source tells the uplifting story of Josue Lajuenesse, a Haitian Princeton janitor who returns to his country after the devastating 2010 earthquake to revive his lifelong dream to bring what is most fundamental to his village’s survival; clean water.

A hit at the 2012 AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Documentary Festival where it received a standing ovation and a nomination for the Social Impact Award, this film from award-winning Director Patrick Shen (Flight from Death: The Quest for ImmortalityThe Philosopher Kings) is not just a movie about clean water and community transformation; it is a story of one unlikely hero, empowered by a vision, who did whatever it took to ignite the passion of people thousands of miles away to change the lives of those in La Source forever.

The Philosopher Kings (2009)
In search of wisdom found in unlikely places, The Philosopher Kings takes us on a journey through the halls of the most prestigious colleges and universities in America to learn from the staff members who see it all and have been through it all: the custodians. This thought-provoking, feature-length documentary interweaves the untold stories of triumph and tragedy from the members of society who are often disregarded and ignored, and seeks out the kind of wisdom that gets you through the day and the lessons one learns from surviving hard times, lost loves, and shattered dreams.

From the producers of the multiple-award winning Flight from Death, The Philosopher Kings gives us the opportunity to learn from eight incredible individuals whom we would never have otherwise taken a moment out of our day to acknowledge.

“A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.” -Chinese Proverb

Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality (2005)
Hailed by some viewers as a “life-transformational film”, Flight from Death uncovers fear of death as a possible root cause of much of our everyday behaviors. Through stunning visuals and insightful interviews, this multiple award-winning documentary explores human beings’ fear on our behavior, specifically in regard to violence. In the end, this film provides the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind’s relationship with death ever captured on video.

A Guide to Examining & Judging The Shih Tzu

Judging the Shih Tzu can be a challenging task for the newly approved Breed judge. Because the Shih Tzu is a heavily-coated breed, one must take extra care during the hands-on examination.

Please judge the Shih Tzu by the AKC standard and not by the name of the Group it is placed in. Being a member of the AKC Toy Group in no way implies that “smaller” and “cuter” are preferred. Breeders and judges should remember that most everywhere else in the world the Shih Tzu is not in the Toy Group. The Shih Tzu has not been bred down from some other combination of breeds. The Shih Tzu should be the third heaviest breed in the Toy Group, right behind the Pug and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. At the time of recognition, one reason given for placing the Shih Tzu in the AKC Toy Group was to eliminate confusion between the Shih Tzu and the Lhasa Apso. A few years ago, when AKC Group realignment was being considered, the membership of the ASTC was polled and the desire of the overwhelming majority was to remain in the Toy Group. Some members just wanted to leave things the way they were. Some members feared the breed would get larger if placed in the Non-Sporting or the proposed Companion Group. In Canada, the Shih Tzu is in the Non-Sporting Group and Canadian Shih Tzu are no larger than American-bred Shih Tzu. In fact, the Canadian dogs compete very well at our national specialties. Many Americans breed to Canadian dogs. Some ASTC members did not want to be placed into the same Group with Poodles and Bichon, which tend to dominate Group winning there. An interesting note about the English Shih Tzu Standard: The original English standard stated, “The Shih Tzu is neither a Terrier, nor a Toy.” It bears repeating; judge the Shih Tzu by the AKC standard and NOT by the name of the Group it is placed in.

Type Over Soundness

The Shih Tzu should move as soundly as any other breed: Sound coming and going, with a level topline and good reach and drive. But do not put physical and structural soundness ahead of type. Remember form over function, and the function of a Shih Tzu is to be a beautiful, pleasing companion. Please find the typiest dogs in the ring and then reward the soundest of the typiest.

The Influence of Sex

There is little difference in appearance and size of males and females. Both sexes have been big winners, including multiple National Specialty and Best In Show winners.

Manhandling Shih Tzu

There is no reason to ever be heavy-handed when judging the breed. Temperamentally, Shih Tzu can “take being man-handled,” but there is absolutely no reason to squeeze the legs all the way down to the toes. It is possible to ascertain what is underneath the hair without squeezing.

The Shih Tzu is just as much a “grooming breed” as the Yorkshire Terrier, the Maltese, the Poodle and the Terrier breeds to name a few…Grooming and presentation are important. Excesses are not acceptable. Grooming techniques have evolved over the years, often to the detriment of the breed. Anyone approved by AKC to judge any breed knows what the AKC rules are, and what is and is not allowed. You all know what your options are and how to deal with it.

I find it difficult to penalize a dog for what a human has done to it. Regarding the Shih Tzu Standard, there is nothing specific in the standard as to “how” the topknot is supposed to be “prepared.” The standard simply says, “Hair on top of head is tied up.” In fact, the standard prior to 1989, simply said, “Hair…may be tied up.” Notice there is nothing specific as to what the topknot should look like or how many bands may be used, etc. If you as a judge find something excessive, you will have to deal with it as you see fit. I would suggest though, that if you are going to penalize Shih Tzu for perceived grooming abuses, I ask that you be just as consistent with other highly-groomed breeds. Before the ‘90s, almost all topknots were tied up with a dental ligature and split, with the hair flowing down both sides of the head. The Shih Tzu has a habit of shaking violently when first coming off the table, which leaves the hair flying in all directions, but especially over the face. To minimize the effects of shaking, exhibitors began to shorten the topknots. As time passed, other techniques were employed to keep the hair in place. Some feel the reason topknots have gotten “higher” is to give the appearance of more neck. This may or may not be the reason. Some feel that this ability to manufacture an intricate topknot gives the expert groomer an advantage over the average breeder/exhibitor. To be sure, some feel these intricate topknots are a way of intimidating the judge from really examining the head. Most Shih Tzu exhibitors believe they would not win if they did not use the “modern” topknot. I was recently told that on one occasion an exhibitor using the “old fashioned” topknot was told by a judge to go to the other exhibitors who could teach them how to “do up” the topknot the correct way. I prefer the split style topknot, but the style in which an entry is presented would have almost no effect on my judging or placements. There are simply too many other aspects of the breed that are more important and critical. Recently, I was critical of the tail of a Terrier I was judging and did not reward it a win. When I stated this to a breed expert, I was asked, “What about the dog in front of the tail?” Again, the standard states, “Care should be taken to look and examine well beyond the hair to determine if what is seen is the actual head and expression rather than an image created by grooming technique.” Regarding trimming, the standard says, “Trimming—Feet, bottom of coat and anus may be done for neatness and to facilitate movement. Fault: Excessive trimming.”

The most important characteristics to keep in mind while judging these beautiful dogs are: Temperament, Balance, Heads, Body, Coat and Color, and Movement.

In judging Shih Tzu, temperament should never be an issue. This is a happy breed, which would rather kiss you than have you examine it. A bit of happy “naughtiness” should be expected. Please do not expect the Shih Tzu to be a robot. At the same time, any hint of shyness should be noted and considered when making your decisions. Aggressiveness, as in any other breed, is not to be tolerated.

Balance & Proportions

The Shih Tzu is a rectangular breed. The distance from the withers to the set of the tail is “slightly” longer than the distance from the withers to the ground. The limits for height are from 8″ to 11″; ideally from 9 to 10-1/2″. Therefore, if a dog’s height measures 10-1/2″ at the withers, the distance from the withers to the set of the tail should be approximately 10-3/4″. When you add forechest and buttocks to the trunk section, you have a distinctly rectangular dog. Judging height-to-length balance is done best on the table, (where all dogs in the Toy Group must be examined). Judging Shih Tzu outdoors on grass will add at least an inch or more to apparent overall length and, of course, will distort the true balance and make the dog look much longer than it really is. Toy exhibitors frequently complain that the grass is never mowed short enough. On a flat surface this is much less of a problem. Of course, judging the breed in the wind and rain creates a real disaster. When looking at a class of dogs, look at where their toplines are and not at the top of their heads. Typically, a dog with good shoulders will carry himself more upright and might appear to be taller. Begin your examination by getting a sense of the overall balance from the side, looking at and comparing all the entries in a class. I always take a single dog or an entire class around the ring before tabling for examination. If you feel it necessary to re-examine any aspect of a Toy dog, re-table the dog. It is permissible to put no more than two at a time on the table to make comparison. As with some other Toy breeds, having the handler pick the dog up to eye level for examination to re-check details of the head is permissible.

The Head

The head is the hallmark of the breed. Though no breed walks on its head, large, correctly-placed and spaced eyes and a strong underjaw are two key ingredients in establishing breed type. The head should be large in proportion to the body. The breed has lost head size, but what is more alarming is that most dogs’ heads are nearly flat between the ears. When you find a Shih Tzu with a large head, reward it (providing other key breed characteristics are present). There should be good “doming” above the eyes and between the ears. The head should be round when viewed from the front or from the side. The muzzle should be broad and square from the front and perpendicular when viewed from the side. If the profile of the muzzle is perpendicular, the mouth will not be too undershot. The nostrils should be wide open. The teeth, ideally, are straight, but the width of the jaw (per the standard) is more important than slightly misaligned teeth or a missing tooth. The “Persian Kitten” syndrome (a look in which the face is small with the muzzle pinched, with small nose leather and the entire muzzle turned up) is very incorrect. The Shih Tzu should never give that impression when viewed straight on. Please check the eye/nose placement not only from the front, but also from the side. The eyes are large and as dark as possible; set wide apart with the bridge of the nose no lower than the bottom of the eye sockets, with as little eye white as possible. Do not discard an otherwise good specimen of the breed because of a very small amount of white in the inside corner of the eye. An eye totally ringed in white is completely unacceptable. Today, a Shih Tzu with a big, broad head with plenty of doming is more the exception than the rule. The nose leather (not length) should be large and black with wide open nostrils. If you must choose between “down faced” or a nose placed too high, choose the latter. The Shih Tzu should have a broad lower jaw with reverse scissors bite. Most mouths today are proper. There are very few wry or severely undershot bites. Sometimes the teeth are a little out of alignment or there might be a tooth missing. The standard allows for this. The standard does not call for full dentition and there is no reason to look any farther than across the front of the mouth. By looking at the canines and incisors, you will be able to tell whether the dog has the proper undershot bite and whether the mouth is wry and how broad the jaw is. What is most important is that the jaw is broad and the under-jaw is strong. A broad, strong under-jaw is a key to the essence of head type in the breed.

The Hands-On Examination: Do not be intimidated by grooming. It is easy to examine the Shih Tzu thoroughly without disturbing the grooming at all.

To examine the head, cup the head with your hands and fingers behind the jaws and ears. With your thumbs, check the ear set to see if the ears are set just below the crown of the head and to see if there is “doming between the ears.” Use either thumb to determine the depth of the stop and the length of the nose. Using either thumb, push inward on the topknot (between the bow and the stop) to see if there is sufficient skull forward. Often the skull falls away above the eyes, with practically no fore-skull. Run both thumbs down each side of the muzzle and mustache to determine the width. Using either hand, hold down on the beard below the lower lip and push the lips upward with the other hand to examine the bite. Remember, the width of the jaw is more important than misaligned teeth or a missing tooth. Check the muzzle from the side.

The Body

After finishing your examination of the head, move your hands to the shoulders (it is a good idea to stay in contact with the dog as you move your hands to the shoulders). Run your hands down the forequarters, checking for normal shoulder layback. The forelegs should be straight, though you will seldom find perfectly straight legs in the Shih Tzu. The remainder of the physical examination of the Shih Tzu is like that of most other breeds. Do not massage (stroke) the coat back and forth along the spine. There should be good bone, good substance and good spring of rib. In fact, the standard states, “Substance—Regardless of size, the Shih Tzu is always compact, solid and carries good weight and substance.” The standard does not say, “For its size,” but says, “Regardless of size must have those characteristics.” Though the Shih Tzu standard has no DQ for weight, it is good to know what a breeder expects. Weight goes from 9 to 16 pounds. Most breeders would agree that they would like their males to be about 12 to 14 pounds and bitches to be more like 11 to 13 pounds. Don’t confuse a huge coat for substance. Some “apparently big” dogs (because of the amount of coat they have) can in reality be very “shelly” and an apparently smaller dog in reality might have very good bone and wonderful rib spring. The only way to know for sure is with the physical examination. In other words, don’t confuse height or coat alone for big or little.

The standard calls for a long, luxurious “double coat.” When examining the coat texture, feel the coat between your fingers to determine the texture. Do not massage (stroke) the coat back and forth along the spine. The same would go for any other drop coat breed. Lay the tail back to see if it is set-on high. There should be no rounding of the croup. Also, determine whether the tail lays flat on the back or is more like a teapot handle. There should be room for you to slide your hand between the tail and the dog’s back when the tail curls over the side. The tail is set on high; arching well over the back and not carried tightly over the side of the dog or lying flat on the back. Step back to determine the shape of the dog.

Color & Markings

Parti-colored, solid any color, black and white or having a dark face is of no importance, as all colors and markings are equal. All colors and markings are acceptable and equal. It is more difficult to judge dark-faced or solid-colored dogs because the breed’s facial characteristics do not “pop out at you.” This is why a careful, up close examination (on the table) is so important. There are no official records kept for the all-time top-winning parti-colored, black masked gold or solid black Shih Tzu. Resist the temptation to have a color preference; to prefer black and white, solid black or black masked gold dogs. Do not be turned off by a mismarked beard (black on one side and white on the other). There are breeders who prefer certain colors or markings but, as a judge, you must treat all colors and markings as acceptable and equal. A word about the colors blue and liver: They are acceptable according to the standard. However, Shih Tzu with these colors frequently also have lighter eyes; though not always. This creates a problem in that it is more difficult to get soft, warm expression from a lighter eye. Liver pigment is seldom seen in the ring and blue is a real rarity.

The last component of type, Shih Tzu movement should be the same as for any soundly moving dog. The head should be carried high. The standard refers to a “distinctly arrogant carriage.” There is absolutely no mention in the standard about length of neck. The standard requires that the Shih Tzu have arrogant carriage. In order for a Shih Tzu to carry its head high (without being “strung up”), it must have good shoulder layback. Moving away from you, you should see two black pads. The Shih Tzu should cover ground, but is not to be raced. The standard states, “The Shih Tzu moves straight and must be shown at its own natural speed, neither raced nor strung-up.” Enough tension on the lead to guide the Shih Tzu is appropriate. A dead loose lead is not necessary. However, please discourage exhibitors from stringing up their dogs. When I see abuse in this area, I usually ask the exhibitor to “move your dog again, this time slower and please let up on the lead.”

  • My wife Bobbi and I began exhibiting Shih Tzu under the Shen Wah prefix in the early 1970s. To date, we have owned, bred or finished almost 100 champions. We have had many Toy Group and Specialty-winning Shih Tzu as well as three all-breed BIS winners. Our biggest pleasure was breeder/owner-handling our home-bred BIS, BISS Ch. Shen Wah’s Turn It Loose to an all-breed BIS. Our Shih Tzu, BIS BISS Ch. Hallmark Jolei Austin Powers, won the ASTC National Specialty twice. In 2010, he was the number two Toy Dog in the US. We have also bred and shown Specialty-winning Chihuahuas and have shown Pugs and Maltese. We are still breeding and showing Shih Tzu. I am approved to judge the Hound, Terrier, Toy and Non-Sporting Groups, six Sporting and four Working breeds, and Best in Show.
    We have been members of the American Shih Tzu Club since 1977. I served two terms as President of the American Shih Tzu Club. I have held several offices in the ASTC and was the first AKC Judges Education Chairman. I have been a member of the ASTC judge’s education committee for more than 20 years. I served on the breed standard revision committee of 1989 and also was one of three members of The Illustrated Guide to the Shih Tzu Standard committee. I have given seminars concerning Shih Tzu and Chinese/Tibetan breeds in every corner of the US as well as Australia and Europe. I began judging in 1987. I have judged the American Shih Tzu Club National Specialty twice. The Canadian Shih Tzu Club National, the Dutch Shih Tzu Club National, and Shih Tzu Specialties in Japan and Sweden. I have judged Hound, Terrier, Toy and Non-Sporting Group shows in the US and abroad. I have judged Specialty Shows for breeds in most of the Toy, Non-Sporting, Terrier and Hound Groups in the US, including the Chihuahua Club of America National Specialty Show. I have also judged the Tibetan Terrier Club of America National Specialty, the Lhasa Apso Club of America National Specialty, and the Chinese Shar Pei Club of America National Specialty. I’ve also judged the American Foxhound National Specialty. I have judged at the Westminster KC and The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship shows. I have judged in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
    I have authored numerous articles on Shih Tzu, published in “Top Notch Toys” (TNT), the ASTC Bulletin, “Dogs in Review” and the “Shih Tzu Reporter”. I served on the Board of Directors of the Dog Judges Association of America for six years and served as their annual seminar chairman for several years. I was also the Toy and Non-Sporting Group education coordinator of the Los Angeles Area Dog Judges Educational Association. I was for many years Show Chairman of the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club and was a board member and am a past president of the Toy Dog Fanciers of Southern California. I have been the featured speaker at the annual Canadian Kennel Club Judges Conference. We now reside in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Professionally, I hold an MA in Educational Administration and a BA in German. I studied at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 1965 and ‘66. For 35 years I was a high school teacher, having retired in 2002. I taught German, English, and Art and Music History. I served for more than 30 years as Chairman of the Foreign Language Department.
