You may visually see broken parts of your gate like a snapped chain, broken gate wheel, or bent Iron Gate bars. These are some of the examples that we repair when we receive service calls from our customers.

Commercial Gate Repair North Glendale CaThe commercial gate is very similar to the residential gate, except for the additional options that it may come with and the power of the gate opener. The size of the gate may also be much larger, as a commercial property has more land to secure and cover.

Due to high amount of traffic, that many commercial properties may have your parts will be under a lot of use; without regular inspections and maintenance, your commercial gate will stop working. Lack of lubrication may break the bearings in the slide/swing gate, rotten out seals in the gate opener may cause the nature to rust the internal parts such as the motherboard and the gate radio receiver, not to mention the rodents and insects and what kind of damage they can cause.

Why Does My Dog Sneeze When He Lays On His Back? 7 Reasons

Why Does My Dog Sneeze When He Lays On His Back? 7 Reasons

Every dog comes with its own quirks and behaviors that owners become accustomed to as the years pass. We love them for how silly they are, and how their little nuances bring joy and laughter to our lives.

There are so many unanswered questions regarding canine behavior, and while some of them can be explained, others are just typical for that dog in particular.

If you’re wondering why your dog sneezes when he lays on his back, you’re not alone. Most dogs tend to sneeze when they flip on their backs, whether they’re trying to scratch an itch or playing.

It’s actually really cute behavior, but is there a reason for it?

Why Does My Dog Sneeze When He Lays on His Back?

When dogs are flipped on their back, irritating particles can enter the nasal passage more easily, or they could be experiencing extra mucus from their mouths and nose. Photic reflex is another reason that your pup could be sneezing uncontrollably after it looks at the light.

The Causes Behind Dog Sneezes

The causes behind dogs sneezing are often similar to the reasons that people sneeze.

Unwanted particles in the nasal passage are the most common reason, but there are other forces that could be at play!

Your pup might be snorting instead of sneezing when he rolls over on his back to play or scratch an itch. Simple snorts are often confused with sneezing, as is the process of reverse sneezing.

If you’re wondering what reverse sneezing is, you’re probably familiar with it if you’ve owned a dog for a while.

Due to some obstruction, including swallowing water incorrectly, dogs might reverse sneeze, which is similar to a snort.

Showing Trust

When your dog flips over, they’re often showing you trust, or that they trust in you to play without harming them. It’s also a way of dogs showing humans that they won’t bite us and we can trust them as well.

The sneezing and snorting that comes with showing trust is nothing but affection, and also a few misplaced dust particles here and there!

Speaking of dust…

Dogs that live in a dusty environment, whether it be outside or in, will naturally sneeze more than normal, whether they’re lying on their backs or not.

Indoor products like perfumes, powders, fragrance spray, and candles may cause a dog to sneeze quite a bit.

If there’s one thing that dogs are good at, it’s catching the attention of humans. They’ve been doing it successfully for centuries.

When looking cute isn’t enough to distract us from our work and get us to play, they resort to all types of sounds, including barking, whining, and you guessed it, sneezing.

If you hear your dog start to huff and sneeze, and glance up to see it standing across the room staring at you, your pup definitely wants some attention!

Dental Problems

Tooth and gum issues may cause a dog to sneeze when it flips over and lays on its back.

When your dog stretches out his neck and lets his head fall back, there is an instance of more oral drainage into the nasal cavity.

If there is some infection within the teeth and gums, which is a common problem for many dogs, that infection could drain into nasal passages and cause plenty of sneezing.

Many flat-faced breeds, also known as Brachycephalic breeds, have trouble breathing as it is, and may sneeze more when they’re on their backs.

If you own a bulldog or a pug, you’ll likely notice that your dog sneezes (and even snores) more than other dogs do, no matter how it’s positioned.

Flat-faced dogs have naturally narrow nasal passages. This fact combined with flipping over onto their backs, causing mucus drainage and nasal irritation, is a recipe for sneezing.

The Photic Reflex

When you go outside or look directly at a light, chances are, you sneeze! This happens to dogs as well.

When they turn over onto their backs with their eyes facing the sky or bright lights in your home, they’re bound to sneeze a few times.

Frequently Asked Questions about Why My Dog Sneezes When He Lays On His Back

Should I be worried that my dog sneezes while on his back?

Don’t worry too much if your canine pal sneezes a lot while on his back. For the most part, it’s a natural reflex to the world around him. If tooth and gum issues are the cause, you will find that out at his regular checkup!

Why does my dog sneeze so much?

Many things cause a dog to sneeze often, but if your dog is sneezing constantly, it might be time to evaluate the environment. Dust, perfume, and strong candles can cause a dog to sneeze. If you live in a very dusty location, purchasing an air purifier is a great idea.

Does my dog have allergies?

He might, though your dog would be sneezing all the time, not only when he’s on his back. If you suspect allergies, check for watery eyes, a runny nose, and itchy paws. Your vet can do allergy tests to check if allergies indeed are what’s causing the sneezing.

Dogs and Sneezing

Dogs sneeze just as much, and for all the same reasons, as humans do. Remember, most dogs sneeze when they’re on their backs.

There is rarely a sinister cause to your dogs’ sneezing, but if it’s concerning you, check in with your vet for peace of mind.

Types of Dog Brushes and Combs

Types of Dog Brushes and Combs

Keeping your dog tidy is essential to ensure their good health and general welfare. During walks they tend to wallow, play with other dogs, jump and generally go through things that create dirt in their fur, and the appearance of tangles in long haired dogs, etc. In addition to bathing them according to your vet's instructions, you must be consistent with brushing their hair in order to remove dirt and keep it soft and silky.

Depending on the breed and type of hair your dog has, you should follow certain brushing techniques. Do you know the types of dog brushes and combs? To avoid making the wrong decision and ensure this an enjoyable moment for your dog and not their worst nightmare, AnimalWised will show you the best brushes and combs, according to the type of fur.

Choosing the brush according to the type of hair

As discussed, you should use one brush or another depending on your dog's type of hair. Furthermore, how often you have to brush your dog's coat will also depend on the length, thickness and amount of hair they lose. So, some dog breeds tend to lose hair more than that others. On the other hand, some do not shed hair at all.

One of the best times of day for brushing their coat is after a walk. If you do it properly, you will make your dog relaxed and satisfied while removing accumulated dirt from their coat, getting rid of any tangles and keeping the health of their skin in perfect condition. However, choosing the wrong brush or not knowing how to brush their fur can result in a really uncomfortable and very unpleasant moment for your dog.

In general, there are three different types of hair: short, medium and long. Each hair type requires a specific kind of brush and brushing frequency. Let's have a look at which combs you need for your dog whether is has short, medium or long hair.

Brushes for short-haired dogs

Short-haired dogs require much gentler hair care. Due to having a thin coat, they don't need to be brushed more than two or three times per week. Of course, short-haired breeds have different hair measurements and characteristics that will indicate whether you have to brush twice or three times a week. For example, the Chihuahua, despite being a dog with short fur, tends to lose a lot of hair and therefore needs to be brushed more often that a Dalmatian or Boxer, which don't lose much hair.

Dogs with this type of hair need brushes that remove excess hair, and don't have the possibility of accumulating knots and excessive dirt. So, you will need a brush with rubber bristles or a brush glove, in order to avoid damaging your dog's skin and pulling out hairs you shouldn't. It is also easy to clean and keep in perfect condition.

Brushes for medium-haired dogs

Medium-haired dogs like the German Shepherd, Border Collie or Golden Retriever, which have more of a coat than the previous ones, need to be brushed a minimum of four times a week. If you have enough time to groom their hair once a day, your furry companion will thank you and you won't need to do as much housecleaning.

Due to having a longer, thicker and denser coat than short-haired dogs, you will need a brush with fine, close metal bristles, known by many as a slicker brush, to remove all the accumulated dead hair. These dogs tend to lose a fair amount of hair, so if you don't remove it, it will accumulate and spread around the house.

Brushes for long-haired dogs

Long-haired dogs require more attention when it comes to caring for their fur, since they tend to get tangles, accumulate dirt and most of all, lose lots of hair. So, you will have to brush your dog's hair every day after each walk. However, at Animal Wised, we suggest you combine daily brushing at home with a dog grooming session once a month, as a minimum.

For dogs with long fur and delicate skin such as the Yorkshire Terrier, you will need a double-sided brush, with rounded bristles on one side and tougher synthetic bristles on the other. This way, you can use the one side with the rounded bristles to carefully detangle the fur and remove dead hair, and then use the other side to provide softness and shine.

For long-haired dogs with thicker and less sensitive skin, you can use a metal brush like the one you would use for medium hair to untangle and easily remove dirt. Of course, given that they have more hair, you must do this carefully to avoid damaging the animal and pulling on it.

Brushes for water dogs

Finally, a difference between the coat of water dogs, is that they are characterised by a very dense and curly coat. Dogs such as the Poodle, Bichon Frise, etc. require a special comb very different to those seen in previous sections. In order to detangle their hair without damaging or pulling it, remove dirt and keep it healthy and strong, you will need a comb with separated, thick metal teeth, also known as a buttercomb.

You will have to brush them with this comb every day, after every walk, to prevent knots from forming. Although these dogs are not used to losing hair, their fur can get tangled a lot and accumulate mud, sand, etc. Therefore, if you have a water dog and notice that they are losing a lot of hair, you should go to the vet for an examination and find out if they have any nutritional deficiencies.

Closing Out The Old, Welcoming The New. Happy Holidays!

Closing Out The Old, Welcoming The New. Happy Holidays! | Annie Wright, LMFT | www.anniewright.com

Good morning,

It’s Christmas Eve day and, as you read this, I’m actually on a plane to Japan right now since my husband and I decided to start a new ritual for ourselves (per my prior post): traveling for the holidays.

I’m excited to spend Christmas eve in the air and land in Tokyo on Christmas afternoon. I’m excited, too, for all of the next week. Not only to see and experience Japan, but also because this next week is perennially my favorite of the year, no matter where on the globe I find myself.

Closing Out The Old, Welcoming The New. Happy Holidays! | Annie Wright, LMFT | www.anniewright.com

Closing Out The Old, Welcoming The New. Happy Holidays!

I deeply enjoy the week between Christmas and New Year’s and consider it the proverbial Sunday week of the year: all things seem to feel slower and quieter, deeper and stiller.

And I always use this slower, quieter time as an opportunity to reflect on all that happened in the year before, and I use it as a time to set intentions for the year ahead.

Call them goals, intentions, wishes, hopes, etc., but whatever you call them, I think there’s power in bringing deliberate intention to what we want to create in our lives for the new year.

And while there’s a hundred different ways you can do this, I’ve developed a little e-book of the strategy I personally have used for the last 6 years (and will continue this year in Japan, probably on the long bullet train ride crossing the country!).

You can explore my annual year-closing/year-welcoming ritual called – Soul + Strategy: The Ultimate Left Brain Right Brain Workbook 2018 – here on my website or on Amazon.

(and yes, visiting Japan was one of the intentions I set when I completed the workbook this past year!)

But no matter which goal-setting process you use, no matter if you believe in setting goals for the new year or not, I want to wish you a very, very happy holiday and a wonderful new year.

It’s such a joy to be able to write for you and stay connected as we experience this wild human ride together.

I’ve got so much in store for 2018 that I’m looking forward to sharing with you. Keep your eyes peeled for a post from me in January filled with some big news!

And until then, please know I’m wishing you all the very best in the world.

Happy Holidays! Warmly, Annie

The collection of Maori artefacts sold by John Nicholson’s – together with a letter detailing their shipment in 1837. The shell inlaid hei tiki took the top price of £16,000.

You have 2 more free articles remaining

In fact, not long after that windfall sale the auctioneers were contacted by the owner of an archive of small Maori artefacts with an unbroken provenance dating back 180 years.

The collection amounted to the remnants of a package sent back to England from New Zealand by the son of John King, a missionary who headed to New Zealand in 1814 under the direction of Samuel Marsden, the senior Anglican minister in New South Wales. King and his wife Hannah stayed in the new territory, going on to have 12 children.

Like father, like son, Philip Hansen King (1813-80) also became a missionary in Tauranga, later buying land in Te Puna Bay from Maori chiefs on November 6, 1834. The purchase price was recorded as ‘4 Blankets, 2 Iron Pots, 4 lbs. Tobacco, 4 Hoes and 2 doz. Pipes'.

Colonial record

Three years later he sent a shipment to James Blea, a cabinetmaker and upholsterer of Swerford, a village near Chipping Norton. A letter dated May 18, 1837, discovered by descendants of the King family when the decision was taken to consign the items for auction, discusses both its contents and the hardships of colonial life.

King wrote in vivid detail about a civil war in The Bay of Islands a full eight years before the First Maori War.

“I wish peace could be restored but such is not likely to be until they have a regular battle if their mode of fighting deserves the name,” he wrote. “For though the two parties have exchanged thousands of shot yet they have taken good care to keep wide enough apart so that up to this time not more than six have received mortal wounds.”

Of the items listed in the letter, Nicholson’s offered 23 for sale on October 5. Together they took over £50,000.

Contributing most to the total were two early 19th century green nephrite hei tiki, the pendants worn around the neck by men and women of high rank, both as ornaments and symbols of authority. Hanging close to the heads of prestigious owners was thought to imbue them with sacred power, or tapu.

Value variations

Prices for hei tiki can vary hugely dependent upon age, quality, colour, size, form and decoration. The example offered at Woolley & Wallis the previous month, unusually large at more than 5in (13cm) across, had sold for £25,000.

The more desirable of the two at Nicholson’s was 4in (10cm) high and set with shell eyes. Estimated at £4000-6000, it attracted bidding from the US and Australia before selling to the latter at £18,000. The other, 5in (12cm) high and estimated at £3000-5000, took £6000 from the same buyer. The consignment also included 17 separately lotted bone fishhooks and lures, or matau, some inlaid with mirrored glass or iridescent shell. These sold for prices of between £280 and £1100 and together totalled just below £8000.

Matau are often ingenious and beautifully constructed – the huge variety of hooks designed to mimic and attract different kinds of fish.

Pa kahawai, for example, are trolling lures designed to attract and hook large surface-feeding fish, such as kahawai (sea trout) or barracouta. They are typically constructed using the highly reflective paua shell (a large abalone, only found in the waters of New Zealand) joined with a bone barb by a flax fibre cord. A good example, 4½in (12cm) long, retaining possibly the original fibre cord, sold at £750 (estimate £700-1000).

Personal adornment

A group of three smaller carved bone pa kahawai, designed for hooking sharks and bound tightly again with flax, took £800. Three green nephrite ear pendants or kapeu with curved tips, the longest 6in (15cm) long, sold at £3000 (£2000-3000), while another object of personal adornment, a small hair comb or heru mapara made of separate wooden teeth lashed together with flax fibre, sold at £1250 (£1000-1500).

As early as the late 1700s, the Maori had shown European visitors how New Zealand flax could be prepared to make rope and other useful items which led to a booming trade in flax fibre, and a local flax-stripping industry that continued until the 1830s. Two balls of twine from this period, each over 10ft (3m) in length, sold at £340.

This plumb consignment encouraged other vendors to sell related items. A rare Gilbert Islands wood cloth beater, with carved crosshatch and other line decoration and of superb colour, took £1700.

A pair of finely engraved scrimshaw horn powder flasks of New Zealand interest sold for £3600 (estimate £3000-4000). One depicted William King and his wife – King tattooed with Ta moko and holding a war club and with mythical sea scenes – and the other scenes of Maori dancers.

“You won’t find another pair, I promise you,” said auctioneer John Nicholson as the gavel fell.

Blue Glaze

The use of blue glazes in Chinese ceramics has a rich history. Cobalt, which is necessary for the production of blue glazes was extremely rare and hence expensive in China before increasing trade with Persia due to the development of the Silk Road allowed for the import of cobalt as well as mediating the influence of older traditions of blue glazed ceramics from the Middle East. This was cause for the development of the blue and white glazed porcelain of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), a tradition which also saw the export of Ceramics to the Islamic world and hence the adoption of Islamic motifs. Throughout the history of blue glaze in Chinese ceramics, varying methods of application and source of cobalt was cause for variations in the shade and hue of the blue produced. In the Ming period, blue was possibly the predominant colour of the fahua pallet, typically including two distinct tones, one of a light, warm, blue and the other of a dark inky blue.

About this inquiry

The bill would ensure that appropriate protections for victims of family violence are in place during cross-examination in all family law proceedings. In particular, the bill would prohibit personal cross‑examination in certain circumstances, and require that cross-examination be conducted by a legal representative. Where personal cross‑examination is not prohibited, the court would be required to apply other appropriate protections for the victim of family violence.

What Are the Different Types of DUI Offenses That Tend to Occur Today?

Published in Business Articles

Different types of DUIs and offenses can result in up to 10 years of jail time. Not all offenses are created equal.

What are the many types of offenses that can occur today? This short guide will give you the ins and outs of the range of DUI offenses that are implemented today.

Types of DUI

Driving under the influence can yield negative results including officials suspending your license, a massive fee, and even time in jail. These DUI charges differ depending on the state in which you reside.

In certain states, such as Georgia or Pennsylvania, an existing DUI charge can add to the offense. Since these penalties are increasing in severity, you should familiarize yourself with these different types of DUI.

If you are a first-time car buyer, your future insurance premiums will also reflect these penalties. The DUI arrest can lead to a combination of different penalties depending on the individual and the type of substance.

1. General Impairment

A general impairment DUI refers to any time when you consume too much content to prevent yourself from operating a vehicle. When your blood alcohol concentration is lower than 0.08% then authorities may charge you with a DUI.

This means the alcohol content may have enough of an effect to cause impairment of judgment and coordination. The second type of offense is a higher penalty. This refers to an official submission of a chemical test reflecting 0.08 to 0.99% BAC tally.

This offense can occur when the driver submits this average within two hours of drinking. The first offense may result in a fine of up to $400. It can also lead to up to six months of probation.

Higher Offenses

There are higher offenses when dealing with BAC penalties. Within the past two hours of vehicle operation, if your BAC reaches a level of 0.16% or higher, this can result in the highest general impairment offense.

The penalty can result in a minimum of three days in jail. But, this can also place the individual in jail for an additional six months depending on the severity of the case. These cases often involve a fine of up to $1000 or more, with the highest fine landing at around $5000.

The judge can also order special treatment for these more severe cases. But, the safety school sessions will be a requirement. In addition, a minimum 12-month suspension of your license may occur as well.

2. Minor Driving Under the Influence

A minor DUI includes any individual that is under the age of 21. If they submit a test that yields a 0.02% result or higher, within 2 hours of consumption, they will incur a penalty. This means if a minor consumes a single beer before operating a vehicle, they will incur a penalty.

The fine for driving under the influence as a minor can range from $500 to $4,000. It can also mean that, depending on the circumstances, a driver can spend a few nights or even up to six months in jail.

A potential suspension of your license can occur for up to 12 months. It can also mean that an individual will need to attend a 12 week long or more class. In addition, the judge can choose to file 100 hours or more of community service to add to the penalty.

Minors with their first car should know about these more severe consequences. The severity of these laws is intending to reduce neglectful deaths among the younger generation.

In many states, there is a low tolerance issue when it comes to minors under the influence. Many minors are ignorant to the fact that a charge can lead to losing their newfound license for over a year.

3. School Bus or Commercial Driver DUI

Any driver of a commercial vehicle or school bus may have a charge despite a lower BAC level. This includes anyone operating a vehicle with a commercial vehicle tag. Within two hours of consumption, BAC levels marked at 0.04% will result in a penalty.

This can lead to 24 to 48 hours of jail time. It can also include a suspension of your license for up to 12 months. The fine can rise to $400 to $5,000 in fees from fines.

Similar to other DUIs, the judge can order up to 100-150 hours worth of community service. In addition, they can require the individual to take a safety class as well. The judge can also require the driver to attend a professional treatment class and return with signed reports.

4. DUI from Controlled Substances

Different drugs are classified under different tiers. These tiers include Schedule I to Schedule III. For each type of DUI under a controlled substance, they rank among these three tier levels.

Any amount of schedule I drug can result in a penalty. If you are not prescribed a schedule III drug, it will also result in a DUI offense. Testing positive for these substances does not include a threshold similar to a BAC test.

Any amount of this material will result in an offense in the same ranking as the highest possible BAC penalty. The DUI does not change if you restrict the usage.

This can happen despite having a severe impairment issue. A functioning individual will still have a chance of incurring a charge. Aside from general driver safety, knowing your rights can help aid in the situation if you are pulled over for DUI.

DUI Offenses

If you ever find yourself in an incident, familiarize yourself with the potential consequences that may occur. If you are unknowing of these penalties, you may find yourself with more penalties.

Consult with a professional with a history of vehicular cases to help understand your situation. Knowing your rights will help deliver a just cause and enforce driver safety.

Defence technology in 2021: our predictions

By Harry Lye 21 Dec 2020

Despite a challenging year, investment in defence innovations has continued to thrive and programmes long in the pipeline have seen full deployment, potentially changing the face of future warfare. Berenice Healey and Harry Lye examine how the technology themes that have dominated 2020 might progress into next year.

Defence technology in 2021: our predictions
Credit: Dmitry Kalinovsky,

We admit it: previous Global Defence Technology end-of-year prediction articles have been a bit hit or miss, forecasting as they have a military year filled with railguns, lasers, exoskeletons and AI weapons. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt, it’s that the near future will be shaped more closely by what’s happened during the previous year rather than lofty sci-fi ideas.

With that in mind, this year we examine some key themes and projects we’ve seen emerge during 2020 and round up expert opinion on how they will develop throughout 2021. We look at whether optionally crewed systems will be the tactical and financial solution they’ve been pitched as, what the Biden administration means for the New START nuclear treaty, how the military Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to dominate, whether cyber in space is the new hybrid domain, and how interoperability will shake up armed forces’ strategy.

Optionally crewed everything

Theoretically, programmes to develop optionally crewed systems offer the best of both worlds while keeping budgets down. But practically they can represent an unacceptable compromise for both uses.

Naval and army systems are the poor cousins when it comes to optionally crewed solutions, with most solutions heavily weighted towards one or another. However, some notable optionally crewed naval and ground systems made progress in 2020. In October, the US Army relaunched its Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) programmes, with Rheinmetall, Raytheon and Textron throwing their hats in the ring.

Automation is well-suited for marine operations, not least minehunting, but crewed operations seldom add value. For example, the US Navy’s Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) programme, still earmarked for construction in 2020 despite cutting it fine, is designed for uncrewed operation but can host sailors if required.

But it is in aircraft where optionally crewed designs offer the most potential. Tempest is the proposed sixth-generation fighter aircraft concept under development for the UK Royal Air Force by the Team Tempest consortium consisting of BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, Rolls-Royce, MBDA UK and the Ministry of Defence. It was launched with great spectacle as part of the UK’s Combat Air Strategy in 2018 and is due to enter service in the mid-2030s, using swarming technology to control drones while in flight.

While a lack of industry events meant that the all-too-familiar scale model wasn’t rolled out in every UK industry pavilion as usual, 2020 saw some optimistic news for Tempest. In October, analysis by PwC, commissioned by BAE Systems on behalf of Team Tempest, found that the project to develop a future fighter will contribute at least £25bn to the UK’s economy and support an average of 20,000 jobs a year between 2026 and 2050.

However, Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies fellow Justin Bronk cautions that Tempest might not be the all-round solution armed forces are seeking.

“There are notable drawbacks to proceeding with an optionally piloted solution for future combat aircraft, as they promise to retain the downsides of both crewed and uncrewed systems without the main benefits of either approach,” he says. “An optionally piloted fighter aircraft would have to have extremely complex software capable of high levels of lethal autonomy in flight, whilst also still paying the weight, space and signature design penalties of a cockpit and life support systems.”

A New START for arms control

President-elect Joe Biden, due to take office in January, has already made clear his commitment to arms control treaties. Biden is set to seek an extension to the New START treaty, which governs the US and Russia’s nuclear arsenals.

Biden, who was in office as Obama’s vice president when the New START treaty was first signed in 2010, is widely expected to seek an extension to the treaty and use it is a basis to negotiate future arms control agreements.

Biden’s election campaign website states: “President Biden would take other steps to demonstrate our commitment to reducing the role of nuclear weapons. As he said in 2017, Biden believes the sole purpose of the US nuclear arsenal should be deterring – and if necessary, retaliating against – a nuclear attack. As president, he will work to put that belief into practice, in consultation with our allies and military.”

On Iran, Biden has signalled his ambition to re-enter the US into the Iran Nuclear Agreement – or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – should Tehran return to compliance with the terms of the deal. With the agreement reinstated, Biden would then push to ‘strengthen and extend’ the deal.

Proliferation of the military IoT

In November, US Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Will Roper confirmed that the US Air Force’s ‘Internet of Military Things’, or Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), was ready for its delivery phase.

Roper said: “We have worked earnestly for a year and [a] half to demonstrate data-centric, internet-enabled warfighting constructs. I have witnessed the birth of ‘’ capabilities in ABMS demonstrations. “We are no longer asking if we can build an ‘’ We have graduated to how and when [we can give it] to warfighters ready to field and train. Consequently, ABMS is graduating to its next phase with demonstrations run by our chief architect and fielding by our integrating PEO.”

Further development has been placed into the hands of the US Air Force’s Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO), which helped to field the X-37B spaceplane.

ABMS is part of the US’ wider plans for a joint all-domain command and control (JADC2) concept, which aims to connect sensors from the army, navy, air force, and marine corps into a single network.

In the past year, the US Air Force held three ABMS demonstrations and the system was even used to assist the Department of Defense’s pandemic response.

Concepts for a similar system is also being explored in the UK, with service chiefs detailing plans for a future ‘digital backbone’ to connect the UK’s Armed Forces. At the recent British Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) 2020, command and control technologies were a focus of development efforts.

Cyber capabilities in space

Here at Global Defence Technology, we get very excited about military space stories.

In 2020, the UK followed the US’s 2019 Space Force example, announcing a Royal Air Force Space Command capable of launching Britain’s first rocket in 2022. And when, in November, the US Marine Corps activated a Marine Corps Forces Space Command, we had visions of an Aliens-style expedition eliminating adversarial xenomorphs.

However, the truth is more prosaic and might see more keyboard warriors in action than flamethrower-wielding combatants.

There has been increased focus on offensive and defensive cyber capabilities in the space domain throughout 2019 and 2020, as the latter is increasingly seen as contested by the world’s military powers,” says International Institute for Strategic Studies research fellow and future warfighting specialist Franz-Stefan Gady.

“The US Space Force was established in December 2019 and is exploring AI-enabled cyber defence solutions for its 180 space mission systems. Space-based assets are vulnerable to distributed denial of service attacks or hijacking via cyberspace. Space and cyberspace are intrinsically intertwined.

“Space-based assets like satellites rely on cyberspace links for the flow of data to and from them linking command, control, communications, computers and intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance systems. They not only provide crucial cyber ISR but are also capable of delivering offensive cyber effects. Cybersecurity solutions for space are first and foremost software-driven as air-gapped solutions or bringing down a satellite for upgrades is not an option.

“As military powers are standing up space forces and commands, tailored cybersecurity solutions, perhaps AI-enabled, for use in space that take into account the specific nature of this domain (for example, high radiation levels) will increasingly be sought after in 2021.”

Interoperability, interchangeability, interconnection

The UK is putting collaboration between the branches of its Armed Forces and allies front and centre as it moves forward with plans to revamp defence and security, as demonstrated by its impending Integrated Review, the recently announced integrated operating concept and an interoperability agreement with the US.

Across the board, the UK is looking at how it can more closely tie together the arms of the state. The Integrated Review, due to be published next year, is a key part of this, taking a broad look at security, defence, development and foreign policy.

In September, the UK’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace announced the ‘integrated operating concept’ and a fundamental change to the armed forces’ way of thinking.

Carter said: “This posture will be engaged and forward-deployed – armed forces much more in use rather than dedicated solely for contingency – with training and exercising being delivered as operations. It will involve capacity building and engagement in support of countries that need our support.

“This could include partnered operations against common threats – particularly violent extremism. And this may involve combat operations. It will also place a premium on building alliances and improving interoperability to make us more ‘allied by design’ and thus able to burden share more productively.”

In October, during the Atlantic Futures Forum, the US and UK navies announced plans to operate more closely together, aiming for ‘interchangeability’ between the two forces.

US Navy chief of naval operations Admiral Michael Gilday said: “I am proud to announce that the [UK] First Sea Lord [Admiral Tony Radakin] and I will sign a future integrated warfighting statement of intent that will set a cooperative vision for interchangeability.”

The signing followed the embarkation of US Marine Corps F-35 jets on HMS Queen Elizabeth, which will be followed up by another embarkation of US F-35s on the British carrier’s maiden operational deployment in 2021.

Moving forward, integrated forces between allies and the different arms of the state are set to become ever more important.

As it is, Genitals matter by @EstellaMz

Cross-posted from: Uncultured Sisterhood
Originally published: 03.12.14

In patriarchal heaven, a special award for total disregard and hatred of females is reserved for people who blather on about how genitals don’t matter and male circumcision is just as bad as female genital mutilation. You are more likely to encounter such drivel from those who are furthest removed from communities which enforce atrocious cultural practices like FGM. But while the temptation is to blank out their appropriative erasure of women’s struggles, there will be no silence in the face of this covert wave of misogynistic violence.

Perhaps in an ideal world, genitals would have as much importance as arms, or ears; vital but not weaponized as they are in sexist, male-centred, capitalist society. But wishing something were different doesn’t make it so. Here and now, genitals matter. And it is essential that those at the receiving end of oppression on the basis of the type they were born with understand exactly why and how this oppression is actualized. For us, this is a starting point toward liberation.

Undeniably, consent is a major issue in both female and male genital cutting. Consent  is compromised, often nonexistent, not only in the circumcision of male and female babies/children, but in cultures which provide no other option for their members except to endure it. And while tribal and religious women/men may proclaim agency and pride in having undergone the ritual, the fact that doing otherwise would have led to grave repercussions undermines the context of choice.

Portland Hospital – Shard Clinic

Portland Hospital – Shard Clinic

At the beginning of 2016 we completed another project with the HCA Group, this time at The Shard. The brief was to commission colourful artwork for their children’s clinic that incorporated iconic London architecture and scenes. Our digital artist created artwork full of vitality that were printed onto both acrylic and forex panels and were attached using brushed steel stand-off bolts.

We continue to work in locations within the HCA group with the artist who creates these unique artworks as they can be adjusted to incorporate buildings and places of relevance to each hospital whilst maintaining a continuous and aesthetically engaging narrative throughout the group which can be translated to any workplace environment.

Josephine Pryde makes hard images. In this show, Pryde revisited her 2005 commission for the first issue of Hard Mag, for which its publisher, Dan Mitchell, asked her to contribute photographs of shopping articulating “frustration, pain, humiliation, difficulty, failure, paranoia, [and] low self worth.” For the assignment, Pryde began taking sea creatures, presumably dead, into changing rooms of various chain clothing retailers and photographing them with her Yashica T4 (the same point-and-shoot analog camera used by Terry Richardson). In Cubicles Hard Mag Fenwicks (One), 2005, the only piece from the original series included here, an embryonic squid perches listlessly atop a patch of red fabric and what might be some Topshop denim. For the series “Cabinets, [One–Nine],” 2019/21, we see an octopus’s tentacles gather gently in the sink of an airplane bathroom and, in another picture, adhere to a toilet-paper holder. Folded on a white cloth and placed on the gallery floor, The Flight That Moved Them, 2021, holds a hidden photograph; roughly conforming to the dimensions of the Astoria space, the piece will be unfurled as the show progresses.

Pryde is attuned to how our egos are shaped by embodied encounters. Sometimes, we manage to escape while trying on a new hat at Zara or to find refuge in a public bathroom. At other times, faced with our reflection in a poorly lit fitting-room mirror, we are left only with our wounded selves and must aim again for repair—try on something else, maybe, or take one more photo. Pryde infuses the sterile atmosphere of commodity and fashion photography with a visceral edge of confinement, abandonment, and permeability. Perhaps this is what Luce Irigaray meant when she said, “Femininity consists essentially in laying the dead man back in the womb of the earth, and giving him eternal life.” Her airless yet seductive tableaux of surfaces and skin express the desire for both contact and release.

Mozambique Grape Garnet

Mozambique Grape Garnet

The garnet family is hardly a newcomer in the gem trade. Used since ancient times, it is only recently that it has been on the rise from a trading standpoint. The immense variety of colors and trade names that the garnet family possesses has been a blessing for traders.   Garnets, in general, can be found virtually anywhere. Gem quality garnet on the other hand is a different animal altogether. Much rarer and in increasing demand, their prices are skyrocketing and big sizes extremely difficult to obtain. Most garnets fall under three categories or mix of these: Almandine, Pyrope, Spessartine....

First part done, the second part will be ready in about 12 hours.

This is technically a teaser but I expect it to be popular enough for me to continue.

Don’t be shy, if there are any errors do point it out.

Chapter 133 Part 1

Chapter 133. Being Drawn (3)

The wolf rose up from walking on all its fours. The size of the wolf, which was large enough to have easily carried a grown man in its mouth, became smaller. The haired hide changed into a hardened armor suit. Its long protruded claws were like having drawn many scimitars, simultaneously.

It would have been perfect only if it had been a full moon. Unfortunately, it was a half moon, and not very bright either.

– Krrr.

Although he had become smaller, a lycanthrope that was easily twice the size of Song Taewon stared at me. To be more precise, he was staring at my heart. Certainly, it would look tasty.

“The lycan form has been specialized for man to man warfare. With its extremely hard body, no traits of weakness, and quicker than its wolf form, the range of its attack is also narrow.”

Fortunately, taking out an intact cell phone, he spoke, after alerting the association of the appearance of an S-level monster. Cell phone, hope that you will remain intact until the end.

‘Before the bastard’s return, the bastard had also been captured by Song Taewon .’

Since the bastard was extremely agile, and ordinary people did not pick fights with it, Yuhyun and Sung Hyunjae were also told not to engage it as they would be in much greater danger. They had the firepower to destroy a small army.

“Is it that all I need to do is to keep it engaged?”

Song Taewon said without taking his eyes off of the lycan.

“Yes. Only that I can’t just keep holding onto it. As you know, due to my low stat, I won’t know when I will lose my grip.”

As I did not have the strength to hold on to it, I kept getting bounced around, yes.

“As I’ve increased it to the level of an SS-level damage cancellation, you can use it as a shield.”

Upon hearing that it could be useful, Song Taewon’s eyes moved towards me. Wait, if you remove your attention from it that way.

Pajeek! The lycan took off with the sound of clawing the ground. Without even moving from his position, Song Taewon extended out one of his free arms towards the protruding front claw. Engulfed by a black shadow, the arm bent slightly and it went underneath the claw.

The claw ripped the skin through the thin summer shirt. A streak line of red was made and blood splattered. Although the young claw raked pretty well, the S-level skill caused the wound to be negligible. It was because the skill has been cancelled by the engulfing shadow remaining only a simple physical force.

Tup. Song Taewon’s hand grabbed the lycan’s wrist. With bulging veins, the fingers penetrated the haired hide. The SS-level defensive skill caused the incapacitation of the black armor.

Bewildered, the lycan tried to escape from the grasp, but Song Taewon’s movement was quicker. Pududdd. As the beast’s arm turned, the beast was being pulled in. It was followed by a powerful knee kick to the opposite direction of the joint. Of course, it was all done being engulfed by the shadow. The cracking sound of the bone was heard loudly.

In a blink of an eye, the bastard’s arm dangled as it cracked.

Having barely withdrawn its arm, the lycan quickly retreated back and snarled. Song Taewon lightly shook off his finger. The carcass and blood fell off.

“It was originally a very narrow ranged skill. It can be directed to two places at the same time as well.”

He said quietly. It must have been in reference to incapacitating the opponent’s skills. It would be a scam if the range was wide.

Song Taewon moved as if he was carrying me off with one arm. His feet became heavier. It was the skill that calibrates the body, and the density of the weapon.

That was exercised in two batches.

With an incredible amount of pressure, the asphalt shattered into pieces. Even the ground underneath was dug up deeply. Even though it was an S-level, it was an exercise of power that was difficult to produce by a human’s size and weight, not to mention in a stationary position.

Song Taewon moved towards the lycan, piercing through the spattering black debris. The wolf dodged by instinctively bending its body. At the moment when Song Taewon was believed to be brushing by the top of the lycan,

The lycan’s neck was grasped by the extended arm. Somersaulting, making a great loop in the air, the tip of the foot smashed into the back, which was covered by the haired hide.

The beast, having screamed and spewed out blood with its back half blown up, began to puff up its body.

The wire that was drawn at no time wound around the neck of the bastard that twisted its body as if to escape. Certainly, it wasn’t an ordinary metallic wire. Yet, it wasn’t a weapon that was appropriate to be used by an S-level, either. It was rather an ordinary weapon that even a mid-level hunter would use only as an auxiliary capacity.

As the wire was being pulled, lycan quickly swung its claw. Just before the claw was to make contact with the wire, there was a black light.

In an ordinary situation, the wire would have been cut, but the metallic wire held its integrity although it looked like it was halfway broken. With the unexpected result, the lycan lost its composure and was being pulled in quickly. As Song Taewon quickly lowered the wire that was wrapped around his hand, he raised the tip of his foot high.

The heel, smashing down like an ax, nearly ripped the wolf’s neck in half. The lycan was able to survive the attack, only by merely twisting his body.

Even without any weapons, he was making a mess out of the S-level monster that was supposed to have a strong and durable body. With one-way pummeling, lycan rolled around the ground with its tongue hanging out.

The blood soaked hands hit and grabbed the lower jaw of the wolf that was showing its teeth in revolt. The upper and lower jaws smashed into each other, and it swayed as Song Taewon’s thick wrist made a big circular motion.

Falling on its back, the lycan’s head smashed through the ground. The pieces of asphalt splattered like blood. Song Taewon’s knee was pushing down on the wolf’s neck, and his bare hand was twisting the uninjured arm.

-Kr, Krrr!

Although the stats weren’t the same, they were still the same S-levels. There should have been a great difference between the strengths as it was twice the size, it was that only the two legs of the lycan wriggled without being able to put up much of a fight.

It was because Song Taewon’s current weight was heavier than the lycan’s.

As its back was being twisted, lycan’s kicks weren’t able to reach its target, and Song Taewon nonchalantly crushed the remaining intact arm. Then he drew a sword, and after engulfing black shadow of the cancellation effect at the tip of the sword, he pierced it just below, and through the lower jaw of the lycan.

The sword travelled through from below the jaw and the crane. Twisting as if to be digging the ground, its struggles slowly came to a halt under Song Taewon’s knee.

In the midst of the thick stench of blood, Song Taewon rose up as he dropped his sword. As I was being carried in one of his arms, I too stood up after him.

Author of ‘Hidden Figures’ to speak at Aspen Words benefit |

Author of ‘Hidden Figures’ to speak at Aspen Words benefit

Aspen Words will feature “Hidden Figures” author Margot Lee Shetterly at its annual summer fundraiser, to take place June 21 at the Hotel Jerome. The benefit will include a take by Shetterly, a reception, wine tasting, and dinner with the award-winning authors and publishing representatives attending the Summer Words writing conference and literary festival (June 18 through 23).

“Literature has the power to illuminate untold stories, daring us to confront new ideas and expand perspectives,” Aspen Words executive director Adrienne Brodeur said in an announcement. “We are honored to bring to Aspen an author who has not only received great acclaim but whose work embodies the critical importance of storytelling.”

“Hidden Figures” recounts the true story of seven African American women whose critical contributions to NASA secured America’s victory over the Soviet Union in the Space Race. Barbara Holley, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, Kathryn Peddrew, Eunice Smith, Dorothy Vaughan and Sue Wilder — all nearly top of their graduating classes in complex mathematic fields — persevered in the face of racial segregation and gender inequality to make significant contributions to aeronautics and astronautics.

“Hidden Figures” skyrocketed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list when the book’s film adaptation was released in December 2016, featuring Octavia Spencer, Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Kevin Costner. The film received nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Spencer at the 89th Academy Awards.

Tickets and tables for the event range from $500 to $10,000. Tickets will go on sale to the general public May 3 at

What could have been | AspenTimes.com

What could have been

Dear Editor:

I read with interest that Councilor Anne Freeman is championing her role in preventing the Riverwalk development from being larger than the downtown development recently built.

One of the gems of Basalt, the swinging bridge, happens to be located on the river boundary of this development. The previous development proposal rejected by Freeman (that was incidentally supported and approved by the P&Z) proposed a community park fronting onto the river and encouraged pedestrian connection to the bridge.

What a fantastic thing, a community riverfront park in the middle of downtown Basalt!

Unfortunately, the council elected to support the alternative that has resulted the sea of asphalt that contributes absolutely nothing to the community fabric. It is fortunate that A4 architects managed to salvage the project with a great streetscape.

Freeman says: “I’ve seen sprawl ruin a lot of places,” but surely if we reject supporting sustainable density in the core, then aren’t we are simply encouraging that “sprawl?”

I would encourage the citizens of Basalt to go down to the swinging bridge and imagine would could have been.
