AR Wear recently launched an Indiegogo campaign for a new clothing line with one mission statement in mind:
"Odo have this video:
The reaction to the rape shorts was largely not great. Louise Pennington said the clothing line was perpetuating a rape myth, Anne Thériault wrote a moving blog post condemning the success AR Wear claims it will have, and Carry Murphy of The Gloss called it a "modern chastity belt."
After Emily Yoffe's article in Slate asked women to stop binge-drinking to avoid rape, a war has broken out between those who believe women will be empowered by rape-prevention techniques and those who think these recommendations border on victim-blaming.
But the creators of AR Wear seem to have the best of intentions.
Ruth has lived through the experience of being randomly assaulted by a stranger when she's been out in the open. She has known the threat of rape, just like I have. AR Wear's existence, Ruth says, is in response to that fear.
I've carried a pepper spray in my purse. I've slept with a knife on my night desk. I've cursed myself whenever I wear a really short dress and find myself on a street with men leering at my legs. I wear extra layers because I hope that if the moment ever comes, extra layers of clothing will delay the perpetrator enough to maybe even prevent it.
I know that may sound irrational to you. I know all these precautions sound superficial. But that's how I feel when I've taken the subway home alone at 3 a.m. That's the lurking feeling I get when a street harasser suddenly reminds me I'm a woman. And I'mwoman to feel this way.
How do we empathize with the fear of rape that women grow up with without perpetuating that fear?
"I do think, in theory, that whatever empowers a woman, whatever makes a woman feel safer is good," she said. "I don't think that this product will necessarily make somebody safer. If this is a stranger-in-the-dark-alley rape, and that person is intent on rape, this underwear's not going to stop them. They could do it at gunpoint, and make me take off the shorts. Also, vaginal penetration is not the only form of sexual assault. I'm super-skeptical of people who are marketing what I'm assuming is going to be an expensive product to a vulnerable population."
Both the copy on the AR Wear website, and the clothing line's press release and pitch letter seem to imply that stranger rape is incredibly common (it's not). Ruth confirms this: "This isn't for domestic rape, or rape by people you know," she said. "This is for those situations when you're on a blind date, or in unfamiliar places." They're catering to a specific type of victim, or to women who are mainly concerned with avoiding stranger rape.
And that is the main problem with AR Wear. While Ruth does acknowledge that stranger rape happens far less often than any other type, the existence of a clothing line that caters to women who are afraid of stranger rape will do nothing to dispel the common notions about it.
Fear is at the root of all these messages: fear of the possibility of being raped, or being raped again. I'll admit, I accused Emily Yoffe of victim-blaming when her Slate article first came out. In retrospect, I really do believe she had the best of intentions: she wanted to help alleviate that fear.
It's just solutions. AR Wear offers a very false security. It may not seek to profit from fear, but its existence reinforces it.
Yes, we should help women feel safer. But the answer — just like the question — has never been about what a woman wears.


Standards For Specialty Tea — Harvest Date
Element 5 – Harvest Date When was this tea plucked? The answer to this simple question tells us many things, not the least of which include:    The expected quality of a tea’s flavor    The tea’s cultural value    The authenticity of the product    The likelihood that the tea has been well-cared for and not contaminated… Read more »
Standards For Specialty Tea — Origin
Element # 4 – Origin Disclosing origin is essential to authenticating a tea. So it follows that a specialty tea’s origin should be clearly labeled. As with wine, a tea’s terroir, or the overall conditions of where it was produced, is critical to the tea’s character. This includes aspects of origin like soil, weather, and… Read more »
Standards For Specialty Tea — Plucking and Leaf Uniformity
Element #2 — Adherence to Plucking Standard Tea production starts with plucking. Plucking requires a defined bud leaf configuration called a plucking standard. The first step in making a quality tea requires adherence to the plucking standard. The plucking standard that most people are familiar with is two leaves and a bud; the original… Read more »
Standards For Specialty Tea — The Leaf
The first element in evaluating quality in specialty tea is the finished tea leaf. The examination of the leaf tells many stories. With few exceptions, a well-processed tea leaf should be completely intact, unbroken, pristine, with wulongs being one of the exceptions. This element is the first to consider because it establishes the skill of the… Read more »

It kicks off with the title track, a jolting, sinewy mess of choppy, trebly guitar that strains away at a repetitive riff that collapses into an angry buzz before everything goes haywire, any semblance of a tune crashing into an atonal mess of crashing cymbals and whiplash guitar noise that carries the listener away on a mudslide of underproduced sonic discomfort.

Will his solid performance this past TV season be enough to win him the Outstanding Supporting Actor Daytime Emmy? Here's a rundown of Duell's very stiff competition.
The Bold and the Beautiful's Scott Clifton already has two golden ladies. The actor, who plays publishing scion Liam Spencer, tied ex-The Young and the Restless star Billy Miller to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2013. He was nominated again in 2014, but the trophy went to Days of Our Lives' Eric Martsolf.

The same can be said for brand social media personas. Your goals as a brand lend themselves to an identity or social media persona that is all your own; itwords you use.
When Balcom begins working with a client’s social media, we develop these personas so we can maintain a relatable, consistent voice across platforms. Here are the four basic steps that will help you solve your own brand persona puzzle.
1. Set your sights. Establish an identity that speaks to the target market; the interests of a middle-aged woman with children are going to differ drastically from those of a millennial college student.
2. Make it personal. Identify traits that will resonate with fans, and use them to guide the development of your social media persona – for instance, whether they sound plainspoken or sophisticated. Consumers want to engage with content that relates to their lifestyle and values.
Laying the framework for a social media persona is vital to staying consistent with your brand’s social media content. We suggest reevaluating your persona as your business evolves; if your goals shift, you’ll probably need to update your persona, too – after all, change is inevitable in today’s marketplace coin, you can find it here at Obscure Finds.

Balance Within Yoga And Wellness Studio - Yoga For Mental And Emotional Health Counseling | Silver Sneaker Program :: Our Classes
Yoga is a low impact workout that links breath with movement for physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. While yoga is rooted in Hindu and other Eastern traditions, it has evolved over thousands of years to reflect a variety of styles and disciplines. The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, which means to yoke the spirit and physical body together. At Balance Within Yoga and Wellness Studio in Westlake, we modify all yoga classes for various bodies, ages and athletic abilities.
Yoga energizes the body and calms the mind. The more physical styles of yoga offered at Balance Within Yoga and Wellness Studio, like Vinyasa yoga, tone the body and support natural weight loss through a steady calorie burn. Other gentler forms of yoga that we offer, such as yin yoga, focus on deep stretching and long-held postures to release muscular tension. No matter what style of yoga that you choose to practice, you will receive many physical, emotional and spiritual health benefits and our instructors will work with you to achieve your specific goals.
One of our more popular classes is classic yoga, which is especially popular among new yogis. Proper alignment of yoga postures is important for classic yoga. To prepare for a yoga class at Balance Within Yoga and Wellness Studio, wear clothes that are comfortable but not too baggy, so both you and your yoga instructor will be able to monitor your body’s alignment and ensure you are not inadvertently doing anything harmful to yourself. In hotter classes like Bikram yoga class or more physical yoga practices, you can wear athletic clothes that wick away moisture. This will make it easier to hold poses and transition between poses without slipping.
While many individuals enjoy practicing yoga at our Balance Within Yoga and Wellness Studio studio, yoga can also be practiced from home to supplement your classes. Even a short, daily practice will help stretch the body’s muscles and build strength and flexibility, while reducing stress and anxiety. This will also help you move on to one of our more advanced classes sooner than later.

The Douglas A-1 (formerly AD) Skyraider was an American single-seat attack aircraft that saw service between the late 1940s and early 1980s. It became a piston-powered propeller-driven anachronism in the jet age and was nicknamed Spad after a French World War 1 fighter. The Skyraider had a remarkably long and successful career and inspired the straight-winged slow-flying jet-powered successor the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog). It was operated by the United States Navy (USN) the U.S.

Dealers will reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve to prevent leakage or repair the cracking at the nipple. the recall began on june 27, 2008. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Volkswagen group of america, inc.

If the front air bags do not deploy in the event of a secondary impact to the front of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of occupant injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and audi dealers will update the air bag control unit software, free of charge. the recall began on november 14, 2014. owners may contact audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834. volkswagen's number for this recall is 69k5.

The buffer store in Siegmar had capacity for parts for only 25 cars — as many as could be built in a single day.
Wanderer's marque image was characterized by its extremely reliable cars and by their outstanding manufactured quality. Such excellence had its price, however, and at the end of the 1920s Wanderer attempted to stem the looming crisis with more modern body designs and higher-performance engines. Despite these innovations, production figures slumped. Wanderer's car production operations fell into the red. The entire motorcycles division had already been sold off to NSU and the Czech company Janecek. This prompted Dresdner Bank, Wanderer's largest shareholder, to promote plans to sell off the automotive division and to expand the profitable machine tools and office machinery operations.

Several local universities are among the country's top recipients of congressional earmarks.
Penn State University ranked 22nd, with $15.3 million in earmarks, Carnegie Mellon University ranked 86th with $5.3 million and Wheeling Jesuit University ranked 117th with $4.3 million.
The growth in earmarks has led critics to deride them as pork projects that are effectively replacing the traditional method of peer-reviewed scientific grants. In recent years, funding for competitive granot kept pace with inflation.
"If this is carried to its logical conclusion, you will have all scientific projects earmarked," said Mr. Lubell. "Funding is not going to be aimed at doing the best science, but aimed at satisfying people with best political connections."
Last month, the Senate rejected a moratorium on earmarks, with Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter speaking against portions of the ban.
"Members of the House and Senate are intimately knowledgeable about the legitimate needs of their districts," he said.
Often described as the Senate's "King of Pork," West Virginia Sen. Robert C. Byrd asked last year during a speech on the Senate floor: "Who shall control expenditures from the public treasuries? The?"
Mr. Byrd sponsored or co-sponsored 13 of WVU's 14 earmarks in fiscal year 2008. WVU President Michael Garrison said in a statement that the university has benefitted immensely from federal appropriations over the last decade and that university administrators "support the continued involvement of our elected representatives in the process."
The federal appropriations have enabled WVU to build the infrastructure to become competitive in the peer-reviewed grant process as well, said Mr. Garrison.
At other area universities, officials categorized the earmarks as just small pieces of their overall federal research budgets.
Much of Penn State's earmarks came from defense-related research, said spokeswoman Jill Shockey, including projects related to the university's Navy University Affiliated Research Center.
Most of Carnegie Mellon's earmarks are also defense-related. It receives more than $300 million in total research funding, said Teresa Thomas, assistant vice president for media relations, the vast majority of which is awarded through a competitive process.
The university primarily seeks earmarks when it is looking for new partnerships or regional development, she said.
Compared with other large area schools, the University of Pittsburgh's earmarks were relatively scant: a mere $400,000, ranking the school 497th nationally.
Pitt hasn't quite taken the principled stance of Michigan or Harvard, said spokesman John Fedele, but it hasn't made earmarks a priority.
"We've not eschewed earmarks, but we place a greater emphasis on securing peer-reviewed sponsored research," he said.
There are some earmarks that are worthwhile, said Mr. Lubell, citing the Human Genome Project. But it is up to the universities to keep earmarks under control.
"Don't blame Congress for this one," he said. "Blame the community of scientists who basically are on the lookout for this kind of money."

the Sidewalk Strip
Technically part of the city’s right-of-way, this hot, neglected area. Learn techniques to transform your yard’s hell strip into an eye-pleasing scene.
The plant care challenges
- Salt. In areas where winter brings freezing temperatures, road salt saturates soil and pickles plants.
- Feet. No one can resist a shortcut, and this area is frequently trampled by passersby, paws and bike-riding children.
- Snow. In colder regions, roadside snow piles occupy this area, crushing plants that do manage to gain a foothold.
To grow and plant anything successfully in the sidewalk strip, you must address two primary concerns: soil and plant selection.
Knowing that soil in the sidewalk strip is compacted, salty, drought-prone and hot, start landscaping by focusing on improving soil to make your plant care routine easier and more sustainable.
Deal With Sod
Digging 1–2 inches of compost into existing soil improves most soil types. Mediterranean or prairie plants that like lean soil don’t need compost. To improve soil for these types of plants, consider digging into existing soil 1 inch of quarter-10 gravel (crushed quarter-inch gravel passed through a No. 10 sieve). Use caution adding gravel to clay soils. This can create an almost cement-like blend.
- There might be rules. Check with your city road or transportation department to learn guidelines for sidewalk strip plantingy and may specify things like plant height, setback for planting beds (from the street or trees), or planting bed dimensions.
- Irrigation may be necessary. Even for drought-tolerant native plants, watering is vital during the first growing season – and sometimes when extended dry spells combine with high temperatures. Make sure you can water the sidewalk planting area.
- Add mulch to conserve soil moisture. Avoid using wood chips, which could wash into the street (and sewers) in heavy rain. Pea gravel, chopped leaves, pine straw or compost are options for effective mulch.
- Dig a ditch. Create a small basin around the planting area to prevent soil or water from spilling into the street. </s> 2017 Braves Preview Series: The Rotation
When it comes to Teheran’s arsenal, there is no doubt that he is a pitcher who relies on command and deception in order to be effective. Gone are the days of a 95 mph fastball that helped him rank among the elite prospects in the game five years ago. He sits in the low-90s now, but can reach back for a little extra when the situation calls for it. Location is a major component in Teheran’s success, because he does not have the velocity to get away with frequent mistakes. That said, he has shown the willingness to adapt and the work ethic to elevate his game. Teheran moved to the first base side of the rubber late in 2015, which has allowed him to have more success against left-handed batters in particular. His delivery helps his stuff play up, while his slider has improved to the point where he can rely on it to keep hitters


Basketball great John McLendon dies, leaves lasting impact on CSU
John McLendon, one of basketball's great pioneers,
died Friday, Oct. 9 at his home in Cleveland Heights at the age of 84.
McLendon spent several stints at CSU in different capacities, but as can
be seen from just some of his accomplishments, his involvement transcended
John B. McLendon, who many say insisted that the "B" stood for basketball,
was the last living link to Naismith. McLendon met Naismith, his adviser,
in 1933 at the University of Kansas where he was a freshman physical education
major. He never played basketball at Kansas because of segregation
laws that he would later help to break down, but he did learn the game
from Naismith and degree

From there he went to
 his
illustrious coaching career. His first coaching job, received with the
help of Naismith, was at Lawrence Memorial High School in Lawrence, Kansas
where he won a league championship. It was the first of many feats
that McLendon would accomplish.
He moved to the college ranks in 1940, coaching at North Carolina Central
University. While at the school in 1944, McLendon shunned segregation
laws, organizing a secret basketball game between his Eagles and a team
from the Duke Medical School.
According to a 1997 article by Bud Shaw of the Plain Dealer, Scott Ellsworth,
a historian, has found no other similar game in the entire decade of the
40's or even the 50's. He would stay at NCCU until 1952 at which time he
moved on to coach Hampton Institute in Virginia, and then to Tennessee
A&I (now Tennessee State).
There he achieved one of his many firsts. McLendon became the first
collegiate coach, of any color, to lead his team to three consecutive national
championships. Between 1957 and 1959 McLendon's teams took three times. It was
with this team that McLendon is said to have perfected "fast break basketball"
which he began using at NCCU.
Prior to that title streak, McLendon made another, possibly more important
statement, in the world of basketball. According to the Shaw article, McLendon's
team was invited to compete in the NAIA Christmas Invitational Tournament.
He agreed to bring his team, but only if they could stay in the same hotel
as the white teams. Upon arriving at the hotel, the team was informed that
all but two of the maids had quit in protest. McLendon promptly instructed
his team to assist the remaining maids in cleaning up the rooms.
"There are different ways to solve problems," said McLendon. From Tennessee
A&I, McLendon left the college ranks. He moved on to lead the Cleveland
Pipers, an entry in the newly formed National Industrial Basketball League,
in 1960. His team finished fourth out of nine, the best-ever finish for
a first-year coach. They also defeated the U.S. Olympic basketball
squad, becoming the first ever amateur team to do so.
The Pipers joined the ABL in McLendon's second year at the helm, making
himcoach. In that season,
McLendon's team won the ABL title. Within the year, new team owner George
Steinbrenner of Lorain, current owner of the New York Yankees, fired McLendon.
McLendon accepted a job with the U.S. State Department, but was not
gone from Cleveland for very long. He returned to the city after spending
three years as a coach at Kentucky State University to become the first
black coach at a predominantly white university, Cleveland State, in 1966.
CSU was seeking to establish itself, having recently changed its name from
While at CSU, McLendon established a 27-42 record and significantly
improved the Vikings schedule. Also, with limited resources, McLendon was
able to secure visits with such recruits as Julius Erving. He also won
his 500 game while coaching at CSU. After three years with the Vikings,
McLendon went back to the pros, joining the Denver Rockets (now the Nuggets)
of the ABA. He was the ABA's first black coach. He coached for just 28
games in Denver, winning only nine, and left amidst disputes with the owner.
His collegiate coaching career ended with a record of 523-165,
a .760 winning percentage. He coached the 1973 USA team in the World Basketball
Festival in Lima, Peru. His coaching career then over, McLendon became
a consultant for Spalding. During his 20 years with the company he traveled
to 56 countries teaching basketball clinics to promote Spalding basketball
In 1978, John B. McLendon was inaugurated to the James Naismith Basketball
Hall of Fame, an honor that capped the many he earned during his career
as a coach. He returned to CSU in 1990, accepting a job as special
assistant to the athletic director and was a consultant with the expansion
Toronto Raptors. He also began to teach a course, "History of the African-American
Athlete," after being appalled at encountering a senior at CSU who didn't
know who Jackie Robinson was.
He stood in front of that class on the first day of school this year,
describing in detail many of the above events. Unknown to him or his students
it was the last class he would ever teach. McLendon took ill soon after
and died last Friday. He was one of the great men in basketball. He was
a student of the game and one of the great innovators of its play. He broke
down barriers as a coach in the collegiate and professional ranks. He gave
to the game and to the schools and teams that he worked with from every
fiber of his being. He gave more than could ever be given back to him.
Editor's Note: The author of this story
was a student in McLendon's final class.


The home selling process starts several months before your home goes on the market. Ask yourself why you want to sell. Is the home getting too small or too big for you and your family?Has the space layout become unsuitable for your needs?Has your job location changed?Do you have a clear idea about where you'd like to move?
You also should ask yourself if you can afford to move at this point in time. Particularly if you're upgrading to a bigger house, how will you be making the additional payments?
Real estate agents are community experts. They have the inside access to the MLS system and knowledge of market trends. Look for agents who specialize in your area and get a home evaluation from at two or three of them. If they're knowledgeable about the property value in your area, they should come up with very close suggested list prices. Beware of those who may inflate your home value in order to get the listing!
Don't overprice your home!

Today, we see howthrive with countless software applications on the rise, shaping and building the modern technological world. While many can develop new software, running them smoothly is not a cushy job.
As you run your software or website, you’re not exempted from encountering bugs. These bugs prevent applications from running smoothly and cause inconvenience for developers and end-users alike. If left unfixed, such bugs might also lead to more serious complications. And we don’t want these to happen.
A computer or softwarecauses an application to act up or cease to function as designed. Bugs are usually prompted by an unintentional programming error, misunderstanding of requirements, faulty tools, among others.
The term was coined when an actual moth got trapped in the relay amid the development of Harvard Mark II, an early electromechanical computer.
Software bugs are not always easy to detect especially in complex software applications that are composed of millions of lines of code. Likewise, some bugs can go unnoticed because of minimal effects and some may pose greater software risks. An example of a minor bug is when a website’s log-in button does not work or when you’re directed to the wrong page. On the other hand, major bugs can cause systems to crash and close unexpectedly. Thus, it is crucial to conduct regular software testing and do bug tracking. To help detect and fix a bug, bug reporting is important.
Per BugHerd, a bug report outlines details about what is faulty and what needs fixing on a website or software. While bug reports vary, they generally include a number and title for the bug, system and browser details, clear issue description, and shreds of evidence to find out exactly what needs fixing. It also includes a request to troubleshoot the system and/or suggestions on how to resolve issues. Reporting can also be manual or automated.
It is important to prepare a clear and concise software bug report to help developers quickly grasp the issue at hand and provide solutions better.
Now, let’s dive deep into why bug reporting matters.
Reporting bugs that you’ve encountered immediately enables you to keep your software running smoothly and responding faster. Plus, you can be at peace knowing that your software will continue to be efficient even in the future.
Even if they’re non-critical bugs, they may still hinder some functions. Thus, it is crucial to report and fix bugs to maintain your software’s full functionality.
Reporting and fixing bugs effectively don’t only make your software run seamlessly. They also make it more appealing to users.
Bugs are pesky technical concerns that interfere with users’ tasks or activities on your software. When frequently encountered, they may lose interest in using your software’s services. A report by QualiTest shows that 88 percent of people would leave an application if they run into bugs or glitches. Around 51 percent of them also said they would uninstall an application if they experienced at least one bug every day.
To keep your users more engaged and satisfied, it is crucial to ensure that your software is at its peak performance by regularly reporting and updating your app to resolve bug issues. Don’t wait for your users’ feedback before acting on it, fix bugs immediately for improved user experience.
Maintaining your software’s quality is important to ensure your users’ loyalty.
The performance quality of your software is integral in maintaining a company’s good reputation. From this good reputation then springs brand affinity. You’ll gain both your new and existing customers’ loyalty if you regularly monitor, report, and fix bugs as soon as you encounter them. Keeping your software running smoothly may also prompt users’ interest to download other apps from your company in the future.
Some software companies fix bugs as soon as they find them. Some consider them as tomorrow’s requirement, thus postponing the time to fix bugs. Unfortunately, unfixed bugs can lead to serious complications.
Unfixed bugs camouflage other bugs. Some bugs don’t become apparent until you fix the first bug. What’s worse is that the new bug that you discover may be more grievous than the previous bug and may require great alterations to the software so it won’t affect its overall performance. You’ll never know that there might be bugs hiding in your code. Therefore, it’s vital to report and resolve bugs right away.
Proactively reporting and fixing bugs right away can save you time and money.
Keeping bugs unfixed leads to duplication of effort. The more the number of unfixed bugs, the harder it is to know whether a bug has been reported or not. Imagine if there are only three unfixed bugs and then a new bug is uncovered. It’s easier for your IT team to know whether the bug has been reported by another person. But if there are 30 unfixed bugs, it’ll task to identify which ones have been reported. Some reported bugs might also be duplicated, which doubles the amount of time needed for investigation and re-testing.
Resolving a bug earlier also costs less than doing it later. Per the Systems Sciences Institute at IBM, it costs six times more to fix a bug detected during the implementation phase of software than to resolve one identified during the design phase or the web or mobile app development process.
As soon as you encounter bugs, make sure to report and fix them right away to keep your software smooth-running and your users satisfied. Remember, quality is a key differentiator in determining your software’s success.

A dozen or so years ago, I volunteered to come up with a story for a white elephant party. This is the game: participants each take a wrapped gift from the pile, sit in a circle, and as the story is read they pass the gifts to the left or the right each time they hear the words "left" or "right." When the story is finished, participants take turns opening or trading the gift they end up with.
Harold rubbed his eyes with the heel of his right hand and sighed. He looked across the kitchen table at Agatha in despair. "We've managed to pay our bills, but there isn't any money left. This is downright depressing!"
Despondent, Harold got up, left the table, and headed outside to think things through. He found his baseball and glove right where he'd left them. He put on his glove and started tossing the ball. But it wasn't the comfort he'd expected. Harold lived for baseball. Every year he scraped together enough money to play in an amateur league. This year, he'd hidden his stash in a box in the tool shed.
Even though he lived for baseball, Harold had never had enough money left over to get the right kind of glove. You see, left-handed Harold had a glove designed for right-handed players (it was a hand-me-down from his older brother). That meant he had to wear his glove on his left hand and throw with his right, instead of wearing the glove on his right hand and throwing with his left. What he really needed was a left-handed glove that he could wear on his right hand. It may sound confusing, but Harold knew it was the key to improving his game.
Meanwhile, Agatha was getting ready for bed. She always made a point of going to bed right at 9:45 every night and getting up right at 6:45 every morning. And she always went through the same exact routine. First she'd brush her teeth, then she'd wash her face, and so on. She always did things in the same order, and she never left out a step. She believed in living a very orderly life.
But tonight was different. A couple of days earlier, she'd lost the contact lens for her left eye. So she had to wear her glasses instead. She hated wearing her glasses. She supposed the only benefit was that she didn't have to take her contacts out to clean them, first the left one and then the right one. So she skipped that step and went straight to her moisturizer. First her left leg, then her right, and so on.
As she climbed into bed, Agatha thought about her contact lenses. It seemed she'd waited her whole life to get them. She'd finally saved up enough money to buy them in time for her wedding. And now she'd have to dip into their precious bank account to buy a replacement lens for her left eye. While they were paying bills, Harold had insisted on setting aside just the right amount of money for her to visit the eye doctor the next day.
The next day was Christmas Eve. Just before Harold and Agatha headed off to work, they promised each other that they'd come right home and have a candlelight dinner to start the holiday off right. Candlelight always made their peanut butter sandwiches seem more romantic.
Harold got home first and started getting things ready. He hummed Christmas carols to himself as he hung a string of lights on a potted plant, carefully wrapped his gift for Agatha with the comics from yesterday's paper, and left it under the plant. Just as he was lighting the candles, Agatha came through the door. He swept her into his arms and kissed her right on the mouth. He noticed that she was still wearing her glasses. Maybe she was just waiting to get home before putting her new left contact lens in.
The gloom they'd both felt in their hearts the night before had left. In its place the spirit of Christmas grew. They talked about how happy they were as they ate their sandwiches. When the last crumb was finished, Agatha spied the package Harold had left under the potted plant.
"What's that?" Agatha asked.
"What do you mean?" Harold said innocently.
"That package." She pointed. "Right there!"
Before he could hand it to her, Agatha jumped up and ran into the next room where she'd left Harold's present when she sneaked home at lunch time. Breathless, she plopped it into his lap and said, "You go first!"
Harold grinned from his left ear to his right as he tore off the wrapping, and then stared at her with amazement. Gently he lifted the new glove out of the box and put it on his right hand. It fit perfectly. So what if he'd have to wait another year to test it out in a league game. She had given him just the right gift.
He thanked her, kissed her right on the mouth again, then said, "It's your turn!" He couldn't wait to see her face.
Agatha carefully opened her present. First she took off the bow. She undid the tape on the left side, and then on the right. Though Agatha's orderliness was something Harold loved about her the most, he got impatient. "Hurry up!" he cried.
A tear trickled down Agatha's left cheek as she looked into Harold's eyes. In an instant he knew where she had gotten the money for his baseball glove. As they kissed right on the mouth in the glow of the potted plant, they both knew in their hearts they had married just the right person.

Power plugs can be roughly divided into conversion powe […]
Power plugs can be roughly divided into conversion power plugs, injection molded power plugs and assembled power plugs.
Conversion power plug: The standard of the power plug in each country is different. For example, if the power plug of China is in the United States, it cannot be used. A conversion plug is required to complete the conversion. In this case, the power plug needs to be converted. Converting a power plug is to convert a national standard plug into another national standard power plug.
Injection power plug: The injection plug is that the plug and the wire are pressed together through high temperature and high pressure. Once formed, they cannot be assembled and disassembled. The characteristics of such a power plug are obvious, stable and safe. More than 80% of the power plugs in circulation on the market are such power plugs.
Assembling the power plug: Assembling the plug means that the power cord and the plug are fixed together by screws, etc., but can be assembled and disassembled during use, which ensures the flexibility of the power plug. For example, a large percentage of the British market is using this type of assembled power plug.

Chiefs Cut Donnie Avery, A.J. Jenkins
February 17th, 2015 at 1:01pm CST by Luke Adams
12:12pm: The Chiefs are nearly ready to begin making cap-clearing moves in advance of this year’s free agent periodeam is cutting wide receiver Donnie Avery. As a six-year NFL veteran, Avery won’t pass through waivers, and will immediately be free to sign with another club once the move becomes official.
Avery, who had started 14 games for the Chiefs in 2013, acting as the team’s No. 2 wideout behind Dwayne Bowe, was sidelined for most of the 2014 campaign due to a groin injury. He played in six games, grabbing just 15 passes for 176 yards
Because Avery had been scheduled to earn a $2.7MM base salary and $700K in combined roster and workout bonuses, the Chiefs will create $3.4MM in cap savings by cutting him. With less than $2MM in projected cap space, and a number of their own players to re-sign – most notably Justin Houston – Kansas City will have to make a few more moves before they’ll have enough room to comfortably negotiate new deals with those free-agents-to-be

Y'all know I use Honest Company just about everything, and since they mentioned to me over a year ago that there would be a deodorant, my husband has been asking and asking about it. It's finally here!
The new honest deodorant is a bergamot sage scent and is billed as an "effective, non-sticky & delightfully refreshing odor protection." There are NO white, sticky, or toxic residues and the scent (o) is designed to help kill odors and bacteria naturally, plus there's aloe for softness. To be honest (HAHA) when this came out I was pretty knackered by the spray formulation!I'd never seen a spray aluminum-free deodorant. The first ingredient in this is alcohol, so that's what really goes after those nasty orders, but it also means it works. This is a pretty great product, but I find it (unusually for honest company) pretty strongly scented. It's great for my husband, but I found the scent a little distracting. I kept on being like WHAT'S THAT SMELL!It's a good smell and you should try it, but it's strong!
There's also a new lavender vanilla sea salt + sugar body scrub!I'm looking forward to trying this one and adding it to my next bundle (we're out of dishwasher pods, oh noes!). This is available only as an add on item to the essentials bundle (or in the store, just not as a bundle item!
Also, I've been passing along outgrown diapers to a friend and work and she is raving over the absorbency of them. I'd forgotten exactly how much better they were than conventional diapers, but they really are!

Panera Is Testing a Double Bread Bowl (Yes, Double)
Who doesn't love a bread bowl? They are airy, carby and crunchy and the perfect vessel for both soups and stews. But just when we thought the bread bowl couldn't get any better, the universe went ahead and proved us wrong. Enter the Panera double bread bowl.
(Yes, double.)

That said, if all of this sounds too good to be true, hold on, because there is a catch: The double bread bowls are being test marketed — which means that for now, the DBB is only available at select Panera Bread locations in Philadelphia. According to CBS 3 — the Philadelphia CBS news affiliate — the double bread bowl will be at 32 Philadelphia cafés. The good news is that customers in the City of Brotherly Love can order the double bread bowl both in store and online. All you have to do is add an unsliced loaf of sourdough bread to your cart and then write, "make the sourdough a double bread bowl" in the special instructions.

The bowl, which ranges from $12 for two soups to $21 for two servings of mac and cheese, will be available from Aug. 5 through Aug. 31 and, if the bowls do well, Panera has stated that there's a "potential nationwide launch in the future."

Several months ago, I posted about my blogging name "GiBee," because I was receiving so many questions on how to pronounce it and why I chose it ... see the Original Post here. It's really good (lol!) By the way, here is a quick explanation on the correct pronunciation of GiBee: The Gi part is pronounced just like the "Bee" part, but with a G instead of a B -- GeeBee (not "ih" like "instead" or "ick" -- because that would make it GihBee). Did any of that make sense? To find out why I didn't spell it like GeeBee, you'll have to read the Original What's in a Name post.
Today, however, I am feeling a bit inspired by several bloggers to step up to the plate and blog about why I named my blog Kisses of Sunshine. Barb over at A Chelsea Morning started this cool name game on her post The Name of your Game. You'll want to go by her blog and check out why she named her blog the way she did ... aries from other bloggers, too! So, since she's getting everyone on the band wagon (close to 100!), I thought I'd join, too! I think that makes me number 99... so if you haven't done this yet, get going and be number 100!
Well, I originally started blogging back in 2004. Actually, I think I started lurking back in the winter of 2003/2004, and finally "came out" with my own blog in July 2004. I didn't start off blogging daily, and at first, I think I may have been intimidated to share my faith too much, because the "network" of bloggers I was associated with (infertility) wasn't really open to that. But, my old blog (Infertile Meanderings) was all about our battle with infertility, along with other stuff thrown in. I'm pretty sure the name of my old blog is self explanatory.
Once our son was born, I really struggled with the name of my blog. While I was proud of my blog, it no longer fit my current circumstances. Also, I had just found some new Christian blogs that I was so excited about, and really wanted to be a part of the circle of Christian friends I had found. In fact, Shannon from Rocks in My Dryer and Lauren from Created for HIS Glory are the very first two Christian bloggers that I had stumbled across. I think I might have clicked on a comment that Shannon left on one of the blogs I was reading in the "infertility ring," and voila ... my life was forever changed. I think Momrn2 from My Quiet Corner and Carol from She Lives were next, and then Peach from Just Peachy and then ... the rest of you began appearing! Since then, I have come to admire, respect, and love dearly these women and their blogs. I feel like I'm part of their family, and would fly to great lengths to meet them.
Oh, wait ... I am ... Texas! Yay! Sorry ... another story, another time. Okay ... back to me.
"Today, I have finally chosen a new blog name to mark a new start in life. After fighting years of sorrow and pain that comes from infertility, God has blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Our son is a miracle. A gift from God that warms my heart like kisses of sunshine.
Thank God for his promise thatb --- I have found joy!
So today, I mark the beginning of a new life, and a new blog. As the song says ... I've traded my sorrows for the joy of the Lord. Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord!"
So there you have it! The "why" behind the name of my blog.
Edited to add: I named my blog Kisses of Sunshine before knowing that Carol Kent had a series of books called Kisses of Sunshine (for moms, grandmothers, sisters, teachers, women) -- one of my blogger friends pointed that out to me... So, Carol Kent is making a lot of money on Kisses of Sunshine ... blah, blah, blah ... we all know where the real Kisses of Sunshine can be found, right?
I'm so glad you did this. The story behind the name of your blog moved me almost to tears. I knew the sorrow of infertility for nine years before my first daughter was born.  I've always loved the name of your blog but knowing how it came about makes it that much more special.
That is absolutely beautiful! Such deep special meaning! Love it!
 So I'm glad that's settled. I was losing sleep ya know!
Susanne -- so, who won? You or Shalee?
I love your real name, your blog name and your blog's name. Do I need to state further that I love you and your precious self too? I didn't think so. You're pretty quick like that.
Love that story and LOVE your blog! :-) Thanks for sharing that story again.
I'm so sorry I pronounced your name wrong for so long. Of course I'm souther, so Gihhhhhhbeeeeee is the NATURAL way I'd pronounce it! LOL! Of course now I just refer to you by your real name, which of course I'm keeping to myself! Oh, btw, I need you to e-mail me your address and the address of the lady that mom and dad stayed with! I've been meaning to tell you that since like the day we got back! Sorry! Have a good one!
I'm guilty too...I thought it GIHbee...but NOW I have it right! It will however ALWAYS remind me of the BEEGEES!
 Thanks for this post. It was a special peek into what has brought you to where you are now.
And I loves me some GeeeeeBeeeeee too. I have a hard time caling you anything but GiBee. It's totally you! I picture Robin Gibb, everytime I say it but that's only because someone refuses to put a picture of herself in her sidebar. Hey, Jeana said that you once for a brief moment in time put a pic of yourself up. I missed it, doofus that I am! I want to see it.
Beautiful story of how the name of your blog came to be! Thanks for sharing.
Your blog design is one of my absolute favorites--it just "speaks" happy :). When it pops up, so does a smile on my face. And then I read, and I'm usually touched, and there ya go! One more GREAT reason to blog.

A operação do KPFM é semelhante à microscopia de força atômica onde se utiliza uma sonda (cantilever) condutora com função trabalho já conhecida. A fórmula que permitirá a obtenção da função trabalho da amostra é mostrada abaixo:
O ”contact potential difference”Por enquanto se sabe somente sendo que possuímos duas variáveis VCPD e φamostra a serem definidas conforme o procedimento a seguir.
Inicialmente a ponteira e a amostra estão distanciadas, ambas com suas funções trabalho e energias de Fermi diferentes. O procedimento em seguida consiste em colocá-las muito próximas propiciando o fenômeno de Tunelamento quântico e consequentemente  propiciando a igualação das energias de Fermi. Tanto a ponteira (sonda) quanto a superfície tornam-se carregadas “vácuo” Ev também é deslocada para baixo.
A etapa seguinte permite medir este termo, onde uma fonte de tensão contínua VDC é aplicada entre a ponteira e a amostra permitindo o retorno das cargas negativas para a amostra levando ao aumento da energia de Fermi da amostra ao nível inicial. Esta voltagem aplicada medida e computada pelo aparelho será exatamente igual á voltagem VCPD, desta forma voltando à fórmula do início do texto, pode-se obter a função trabalho do átomo analisado na amostra.
Reorganizando a fórmula anterior, podemos obter a função trabalho de um ponto específico da amostra:
Entretanto, a metodologia citada anteriormente utilizando uma corrente DC é capaz de determinar a função trabalho da amostra somente quando se sabe previamente a função trabalho da ponteira. Um método mais sofisticado envolve a aplicação de correntes contínuas e alternadas simultâneas de forma a obter não só a função trabalho da amostra e também a topografia da mesma.
Que substituída na fórmula da força fica:
Desenvolvendo o termo ao quadrado, podemos dividir esta fórmula em três componentes:
A componente FDC contribui para o imageamento topográfico, a componente F2ω contribui para a microscopia de capacitância e a componente Fω contribui para as medidas da diferença de potencial de contato.
A obtenção do potencial de contato de superfície através da fórmula Fω é possível variando-se os valores de VDC de tal forma a fazer a ponteira parar de oscilar o que equivale á Fω=0, neste caso a igualdade dos valores de VDC e VCPD foi obtida levando o termo (VDC - VCPD) a tornar-se nulo; desta forma este valor de VDC corresponde ao valor de VCPD e pode ser usado para a determinação da função trabalho através da fórmula citada no início do texto.
Mecanismo de funcionamento por frequência e amplitude (AM e FM)
Em um microscópio de força atômica (AFM), a topografia da amostra pode ser obtida pela oscilação de um cantilever a uma distância definida da amostra sendo que tal medida pode ser realizada por meio de dois métodos principais a ser frequência e amplitude. Qualquer mudança na topografia da amostra durante a varredura realizada pelo cantilever é detectada através de uma mudança na amplitude de oscilação ou na freqüência de oscilação. Estas mudanças são computadas e fazem o sistema piezoelétrico responsável pela movimentação da amostra tornar a distância entre a mesma e o cantilever constante.
Sabe-se que microscopia Kelvin é uma variante do AFM conforme foi dito na introdução, desta forma dois métodos de medida também baseados na frequência e amplitude são possíveis. De fato, quanto os níveis de Fermi se encontram igualados devido à corrente de tunelamento, haverá uma diferença de potencial devido ao VCPD e ao VAC aplicado à ponteira, desta forma esta diferença de potencial capacitiva ocasiona uma mudança na amplitude ou frequência de oscilação da ponteira que é computada sendo capaz de fornecer dados topográficos concomitantemente com os valores de VCPD. Uma metodologia capaz de separar o sinal de VCPD da topografia é posteriormente requerida.
Preparação e obtenção dos cantilevers e ponteira
O preparo de ponteira consiste em uma etapa crucial do processo, pois é a partir de sua interação com a amostra que os diversos dados são obtidos. Existem diversas metodologias de preparo de ponteiras para a obtenção dos dados. A seguir são listados alguns métodos com esse fim:

Keidel: Trade Deadline A Reminder That Scripts Have Flipped For Yankees, Mets
Bombers Have Their Eyes On Ultimate Prize While Mets' World Series Hopes Have Faded August 1, 2017 at 12:44 pm
Filed Under:Jason Keidel, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Sonny Gray
The acquisition of Twins starter Jaime Garcia was a nice move, a solid arm added to a sagging pitching staff. But now, with this deal for Oakland ace Sonny Gray, the Yankees (57-47) are now likely the favorites to win the AL East, where they currently lead Boston by a half-game.
Sonny Grayonly is Gray, 27, in his prime, he has a 1.37 ERA over his last six starts and is under team control through 2019. Even more importantly, the Bombers didn't have to part with one of their prized prospects. Still in the fold are Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres. (Surely we all agree that Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge have graduated from prospect status.)

Meanwhile, the Mets, who were supposed to be the Big Apple's team, poised to bogart the bold ink and make another October run, were largely unsuccessful sellers at the trade deadline, unable to move Asdrubal Cabrera, Jay Bruce or Curtis Granderson, a microcosm of their greatly disappointing season. The Mets are 48-55 and 14½ games behind the Washington Nationals. A game back of the Marlins, the Mets can't even commandeer second place in the worst division in Major League Baseball.
Isn't this the natural order? Even when the cards and stars are in the Mets' favor, they find a way to surrender the standings and the back and front pages to their hated crosstown cousins.
To use a summer swimming metaphor, the Yankees just lunged off the diving board and landed like a cannonball into the MLB pool, drenching the sport. The Mets just flicked a pebble into the East River. But, hey, they traded Addison Reed to the Red Sox for … zzzz. And called up Amed Rosario from the farm. The Yanks are typical trade-market bulls; the Mets are bulls***.

example, switched to a takeout-heavy structure and pivoted their marketing toward it.
“I’ve been very impressed with franchising in general as we continue to go through the pandemic,” Betser said. “There’s still a lot of fear and uncertainty, but early on as we’ve seen COVID hit businesses, franchisors really stepped up to the plate.”
Franchisors also continue to be flexible with their franchisees, Betser said, offering relief in the forms of freezing royalty fees or paying loans to franchisees.
Gym Guys, for example, is seeing success in the Grand Rapids market since expanding in 2018. The company runs a full range of personal training and brings all manner of workout gear — body bars, resistance bands, pool equipment — wherever clients need it.
“When you look at health food, a lot of their revenue was maintained through the pandemic,” Betser said. “Most of it was takeout prior to the pandemic. I think heath food in general is attractive because a lot of folks realize now it’s appropriate to find ways to stay healthy.”
“One thing I like is, unlike some other franchises, you are not locked in,” Jeltema said. “It’s my business. It’s my sign company. I can do what I want. The downside is there’s no national marketing. I have to do that myself.”
“We talk a lot about business-to-consumer services, but business-to-business has become very important throughout the pandemic as well,” Betser said. “As businesses begin to reopen, you see all the signage necessary for them to reopen and all their safety guidelines: mask mandates, six-foot-distance markers on the floors, etc.”

Drums beat while the Black Brook Singers, an Aquinnah group specializing in powwow and traditional Eastern Native American singing, performed a song signaling the beginning of the first celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day on Martha's Vineyard.
Monday afternoon marked the first Indigenous Peoples Day on Martha's Vineyard (Noepe in the Wampanoag language), hosted by Sassafras Earth Education and the Aquinnah Cultural Center. The event took place at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary in Edgartown, which is named for Felix Kuttashamaquat, a Wampanoag from the 1600s who lived in the area. David "Two Arrows" Vanderhoop, a co-founder of Sassafras Earth Education, led Monday's event.
The event was run with the goals of celebrating and commemorating Indigenous Peoples Day, increasing the public's awareness of the Wampanoag presence on Martha's Vineyard, and discussing ongoing impacts of settler colonialism, according to Sassafras Earth Education's website prior to the event. Speakers shared the experiences of the Wampanoag, while a separate children's program introduced youth to Wampanoag history nearby.
Many states already celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day in place of or alongside Columbus Day — South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Nebraska among others, according to CNN. Others have an equivalent observance under a different name, such as Discovers' Day in Hawaii, honoring the Polynesians who first inhabited — although many communities within it observe and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, according to WCVB-TV — and to the Wampanoag tribe's disappointment, neither is Martha's Vineyard.
Last week, the Martha's Vineyard Diversity Coalition suggested replacing Columbus Day on the Island schools' calendars with Indigenous Peoples Day. Vanderhoop said Native Americans have been advocating for the removal of the celebration of "this terrorist" since the 1970s.
"I say abolish C-day," Vanderhoop said. "I don't even want to say his name … C did not discover anything. There were thriving cultures here for thousands of years."
The observance of Indigenous Peoples Day began with an opening gratitude, the Wampanoag's traditional way of beginning a gathering, by former Aquinnah Wampanoag chairwoman Beverly Wright. The gratitude contained thanks toward the land the Wampanoag ancestors chose and to the people who came to support the event. Vanderhoop asked the public and media not to publicly share pictures or videos of the gratitude "as respect."
Michael "Rising Sun" Selliti, a member of the Black Brook Singers, made an acknowledgment of the lands stolen from the Wampanoag in the Northeast U.S. He spoke about the ancestors of the Wampanoag, who were "stewards of this land," and "the adversity and the atrocity faced by native people at the start of what became North America." Selliti also acknowledged the lasting effects of adversity, and the great efforts Native Americans have put into preserving and reviving their cultural heritage.
"Feel your feet on the ground. You're on Wampanoag territory," Vanderhoop said. "This is stolen land … we have been ripped away from our land, our culture, our families. Ripped apart by genocide, destruction, and assimilation."
Ramona Peters, a Mashpee Wampanoag artisan, said it was very important for the different Native American tribes to connect with one another. Peters loves to stay in touch with her relatives among the Aquinnah Wampanoag. "It's lonely in the Indian world in America. There aren't many of us around," Peters said.
Other speakers told of personal experiences with the modern realities of the Wampanoag. Durwood Vanderhoop, a member of the Black Brook Singers, experienced the transitional period when the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe became federally recognized in 1987 when he was a teenager.
The change in the Island's natural landscape has been warped by modernization, Carol Vandal, a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe, told those in attendance. She said it has become quite different from the Island she grew up on, something that's been painful to see.
Alexis Moreis, a representative of the Chappaquiddick Wampanoag, spoke of the importance of solidarity. "We need to see that through colonization, siloing of communities has separated our indigenous community," Moreis said. "We need to ensure as we move forward that we are continuing to embrace our indigenous brothers and sisters."
Moreis also said there is an importance of indigenizing spaces. She said the traditional Chappaquiddick Wampanoag territories include Muskeget Island on Nantucket, Cape Poge, Katama, and other areas of Martha's Vineyard. Moreis said in 1788, Chappaquiddick was divided between the Wampanoag and the settlers, which she described as an illegal occupation of land which is not ceded. Moreis wants to encourage relations of reciprocity among indigenous communities, and suggested making changes to how history is taught in the educational system.
Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project instructor Camille Madison said she thinks of her family and tribal communities on Indigenous Peoples Day. Madison said it was greatly important to properly teach the histories of the indigenous people, which has seen a "failed attempt" by the American school system.
The event concluded with spoken condolences by Audrey Van Der Krogt and Saskia Vanderhoop, who are both from the Netherlands, for the pain caused by Dutch colonization.
Twas focused primarily on the Wampanoag experience. However, there was a message of, and to other people who have been or are being oppressed.
"There is so much history to share from these lands and across Turtle Island, which you know as North America," Madison said. "Âs Nutayuneân. We still live here … we are Wôpanâak, which means easterners. We are the people of the first light."

I’m SUCH a wuss *sigh* but continuing on where a small child has just watched her mother being strangled…
Oh, you have caught my attention with this one, Emma. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “ALL THE UGLY & WONDERFUL THINGS”
I’m so glad you’ve chosen this one Emma – I wasn’t too sure whether to pick it or not so you can test-read it for me 🙂 If I had it to hand, I’d definitely read further although a child narrator is always a toughie!

Were there times where you were exceptionally pleased or disappointed when you saw the finished episodes?
I guess I found the set piece things like the school plays harder. I find anything like that, ‘plays within plays’ hard to watch. School plays on Grange Hill were always far better produced and costumed than a real school play!
Of course, another way the programme evolved was that the cast got bigger. Child actors grow up. We went from following a single intake of first years to having two and eventually three age-groups in play. Every time there was a new intake of first years, everyone watched with bated breath. Would the new kids have the star quality that had characterised the previous generation?
, particularly the early years of the show?


For my significant, things were a little more normal. Two of her kids could be here to celebrate. And, rather than battle the Mom’s Day crowds in the restaurants, this year we were able to take advantage of curbside pickup.
She gets a hankering every so often for a turkey dinner, so my picking up a heat-and-serve feast for five from that “down on the farm” chain may have put me on the good list for a few hours (I hope).
My Mom wouldn’t have liked that. She hated winter. May is spring. The snow can stick it. Mom has been gone almost nine years now, yet I can’t help but wonder what she would have made of our current situation.


What are the threats to the well being of dolphins? What can we humans do?
Dangers to dolphins increase when we remain ignorant about how they live, and how human activities impact them.
The more we know about dolphin biology and the threats facing dolphins in the wild, the better we can protect them.
From the start, our studies have tried to gain the knowledge that would allow us to aid conservation efforts , not only for dolphins in Sarasota Bay, but for dolphin populations around the world.
- Boats feed a wild dolphin. This endangers the boater (who might be bitten) and the health of the dolphin. And it’s illegal.
