VIDEO: Man who fell on hard times finds home for furry family
A man who had fallen on hard times has been reunited with his beloved dogs thanks to help from the community.
Wednesday, 7th February 2018, 3:46 pm
Updated Friday, 8th June 2018, 3:19 am
Jerry Forbes with three of his four beloved dogs. Picture: Kate Shemilt
Jerry Forbes was evicted from his privately-rented flat in Granville Road, Littlehampton, on January 24 after getting behind on his utilities payments.
The 67-year-old was separated from his four rescue dogs, Pudding, Wizzle, Bun and Munchkin, when he was put up in a bed and breakfast in Bayford Road by Arun District Council.
He appealed for someone to help house him and his pets while the council looked for a home for them.
But thanks to two dog walkers he met at East Green, they found him a privately-rented flat in Pier Road which he will be moving into with his furry family.
He said: "It hasn't sunk in yet. I'm quite pessimistic, but I kept telling myself there was a silver lining here.
"I just can't thank them enough. I think they are absolutely wonderful. They couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating."
Mr Forbes is well-known in the town's dog walking community, getting the nickname 'the dog whisperer' for his well-behaved pets.
He also meets people while doing litter picking on the seafront.
He said he stopped paying his bills due to problems with his neighbours which his landlord did not help sort out.
Mr Forbes has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 50 years, which led to him retiring early from his gardening business.
One of the symptoms of the condition is poor money management, which he believed contributed to his bad decisions.
While he was staying at the bed and breakfast, his dog-walking friend Sophie was looking after Pudding in Bognor, and Sharon Martin, 77, was looking after the three others, but was in poor health and could not do it for much longer.
Before he found somewhere permanent to stay, Mr Forbes considered sleeping on the streets so they could be together, but said it was not fair on his pets.
Speaking at the time, he said: "My biggest fear of all is the council saying there isn't anywhere for the dogs and telling me to get rid of them.
"Our bond is so strong, I could not live without my dogs. I wouldn't want to live."
He adopted Bun, a rottweiler, as a pup in 2009, and got Wizzle from the Dog's Trust in 2012.
He rescued Pudding, who was left in a shed by former owners, in 2015 and Munchkin three months ago after seeing an advertisement in a pet shop window.


PDM seeks democracy, never asked for relief through NRO, says Bilawal
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari
Thatta [Pakistan], January 3 (ANI): Refuting Prime Minister Imran Khan's allegations that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was formed "only to seek National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)", Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday said that the PDM's aim is to seek "democracy, a level playing field, and an end to unemployment, inflation and poverty".
Speaking to reporters in Thatta, Bilawal was quoted as saying by Dawn that the PDM had never asked for "relief", and that it was instead seeking "democracy, [a] level playing field, and an end to unemployment, inflation and poverty".
While responding to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government's allegations that PDM was formed only to "seek an NRO" like concession, Bilawal said that the government only brought up the NRO when it had no answer to the PDM's criticism but the people could "clearly see through these tactics", Dawn reported.
Speaking on the reports of differences between the PDM and the PPP, he said, "Our CEC (Central Executive Committee) has endorsed every decision of the PDM."
Denying Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid's comments that the PDM had accepted defeat and the PPP had won, Bilawal said, "I understand that PDM's win is PPP's win and PPP's win is PDM's win so we are one. When PDM wins the people of Pakistan win."
On Sunday, the PDM held a political rally in Bahawalpur.
PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Friday that the opposition's movement would no longer be directed only at the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government but also "his backers".
PDM has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan till January 31 and in case of denial for this demand, the front has announced a rally against the government. (ANI)


Research made at the university of Vigo about DIABETES TYPE 1, with the water of the pitcher Alkanatur Drops.
by admin | Dec 18, 2017 | Investigation, Research | 0 comments
Alkanatur proves through a research made by the University of Vigo, that the water coming from our pitcher Alkanatur Drops, reduces the oxidative stress and the levels of tryglicerides.
Research about DIABETES:
In the line of research that Alkanatur maintains with some Universities. We´ve received from the University of Vigo the results of an unprecedented study worldwide about oxidative stress in a so serious pathology as type 1 diabetes. This preclinical study was carried out in the modern University facilities of the CITI.
The report we show is a summary extracted from this Study. It is focused to the general public.
First of all, do you know what oxidative stress is?
It is known that from a certain age, we have oxidative stress, that is, the increase of external oxidants and the decrease of internal antioxidants. Depending on the imbalance of this, we age much earlier besides contracting many more diseases.
Scientific community worldwide support this fact. That is why our first scientific research deals with oxidative stress and how to fight it by adding antioxidants.
The catalase concentration and lipid peroxidation are the scientific values that are used worldwide for measuring oxidative stress.
Alkanatur Research
Graphs provided are a clearer reference of the results of this Study
Ph of the alkaline water, during the 2 months of the treatment, oscillated between 9.5 and 9.8. This same parameter was between 5.9 and 6.4 in the water from the public supply.
The first results are obtained in the level of triglycerides in blood:
It is important to stand out that the consumption of alkaline water during 2 months have shown a significant decrease in blood triglyceride levels.
TRIGLYCERIDES IN BLOOD
Concentration of blood triglycerides during one month and two months of alkaline water treatment
The second parameter with an oscillation is the level of catalase in blood:
The second parameter was performed by measuring oxidative stress on three organs: pancreas, liver and kidney. We only show pancreas graphs because there have been no significant changes on the others.
Type 1 diabetes is a disease that initially affects the pancreas, stopping completely the insulin secretion. The rest of the organs are affected after a period of time. Our research only lasted two months, and liver and kidney need more time to throw values.
CATALASA IN PANCREAS
Levels of catalase in pancreas treated with alkaline water during one and two months
"The intake of alkaline water during 2 months has led to a significant decrease in the concentration of catalase in the pancreas".
As the doctor explains in her own study: "Catalase is an enzyme, an oxidoreductase, which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. So therefore, its levels report the possible mechanisms of cellular adaptation to oxidative stress".
The intake of alkaline water induces a decrease in the concentration of this enzyme in the pancreas, which suggests that alkaline water makes decrease the pancreatic oxidative stress.
The third of the positive results at the pancreatic levels is the TBARS analysis:
The decrease in the degree of pancreatic lipid peroxidation while drinking alkaline water during 2 months.
TBARS PANCREAS
Degree of lipid peroxidation (expressed in nanomoles of malonaldehyde acid per grams of cellular tissue)
The obtained results suggest that the consumption of alkaline water from the Alkanatur pitcher for 2 months, could lead to an important improvement in parameters related to oxidative stress in pancreas.
Our perspective of this research from the integrative medicine:
This unprecedented research for its reliability worldwide opens a range of possibilities to the water treated with the pitcher Alkanatur Drops.
The own professor who directed this Study, was really skeptical about the results at the beginning of the investigation. She didn't know before any publication made with ionized alkaline water, in a so serious pathology as type 1 diabetes.
In the words of the Professor Lafuente: "The effect of Alkanatur Drops water on the parameters related to oxidative stress (catalase concentration and degree of lipid peroxidation) in the pancreas, the organ damaged in the pathology type 1 diabetes, is awesome. Congratulations for this results"
We decided to start with this pathology because we knew that the pancreas would suffer a big oxidative damage. Later we will perform other researches in different diseases and measuring different parameters.
Integrative medicine does not distinguish the type of pathology. According to the perspective of a wide scientific community, behind the diseases that affect us today, oxidative stress is either directly or indirectly as a pathological cause.
They all have something in common. The very high levels of acid free radicals that acidify and steal oxygen from the extracellular fluid in the affected area, and therefore the cell cannot be fed properly. It is also exposed to its own metabolic detritus (waste elements), that make the cell full of toxicity, over time that situation is spread to the rest of the body originating new pathologies.
World renown Scientists and Doctors are following these guidelines that other colleagues like Dr. Otto Warbung (Medicine Nobel Prize) and the recently deceased Professor of Histology at the University of Vienna Dr. Alfred Pischinger (Wikipedia) had previously started.
"Sistematic Researches in the last 50 years has led to the development about free radicals in the biological and biomedical sciences.
The field of knowledge is consolidated.
In the International databases from the period of the 2000 to the 2004 the entry "free radicals" indicates 27200 scientific works. The entry "radical superoxide and hydrogen peroxide appears with 10900 scientific works. The entry "peroxides and peroxidase" refers to 15000 scientific works and the entry "nitric oxide" indicates 27600 scientific works.
However the practical applications of the use of antioxidants and other drugs, that lead to preventive and adjuvant pharmacological therapies that are effective, are a chapter in development process.
We want to thank all our customers for trusting on us and helping to finance projects like this one with the purchase of our technology. We want to continue investigating in many different pathologies.
Also want to congratulate the Technical Team of Dr. Annunciacion Lafuente for their dedication and professionalism on this research.

TD warns of policing crisis for Mayo
Lorna Siggins - Irish Times
FINE GAEL TD John O'Mahony has warned of a "major crisis building up" for policing in Co Mayo.
The Mayo TD issued his warning as the Department of Justice confirmed the cost of Garda overtime and expenses for security at the Corrib gas project stood at €12.6 million to date.
Mr O'Mahony said 30 gardaí had retired from the Mayo force within the past 12 months, and the majority were rank and file gardaí serving in districts throughout the county.
Corrib gas 'giveaway' - Letter in the Irish Times
Maura Harrington - Irish Times
A chara,
Daniel Sexton's view that the current oil/gas exploration terms are "quite pragmatic" is untenable (December 16th). We are the only country in the world – with the possible exception of Cameroon – that has proven reserves of natural resources which we continue to give away for a pittance.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/letters/2009/1228/1224261302477.html
Unpublished Letter to the Irish Times on the Corrib Gas Giveaway
Below is a letter sent to the Irish Times regarding the Corrib Gas Giveaway however it didn't get published.
Madam,
Daniel Sexton's letter (16th December) clearly illustrates the prevailing neoliberal agenda which has underpinned decision making within the state, much to the detriment of the average Irish person. The claim that 'exploration [for Irish gas and oil] should be facilitated and encouraged by every means possible' is disturbing when one considers the extent to which the government has done this, resulting in no profits, no royalties, no state participation, no security of supply, and we also have to pay full market prices for our own natural resources. If these weren't enough incentives for the oil and gas industry, companies can also offset their costs against a measly 25% tax rate, meaning they will pay little if any tax.

The wolf and the little pigs
Long time ago, a Wolf arrived
In a land nobody knew.
A place of beauty, peace and calm
With sea and skies so blue.
He looked around and saw his prize
He would take it, without doubt,
The pigs to whom the land belonged
Would concede without a shout.
The wolf looked at the little pigs
With evil in his eyes
"You will make a tasty meal for me,
This is a nice surprise!"
Corrib and the art of bog building
James Laffey - Editior's Chair - Western People - 09/12/2009
EVENTS in Ireland in recent weeks would remind one of the final scenes of Shakespeare's King Lear. Even the gods of nature have turned against us as we are made to learn the bitter lessons of our imprudent past. Not only have we discovered that the homes and apartments we bought were over-priced but now it appears many of them were built on swamplands that are susceptible to flooding.
RTE's Frontline last Monday night made for upsetting viewing. Indeed, all of the television coverage of the recent floods in the West and Midlands has been distressing, especially when one sees footage of people returning to their flooded homes. But last week's Frontline was more than distressing; it was downright infuriating.
Firstly, we had a Green Party Minister slumped in a chair, shrugging his shoulders and muttering 'I told you so'when the discussion came around to bad planning. Then there was a college professor nattering about global warming while ordinary farmers attempted to make legitimate and sensible points about the failure of the state to maintain waterways during the past half century. Now, I'm not saying global warming isn't an issue in all of this, and I'm not suggesting that clearing out waterways would avoid all flooding, but I do think that the voices of ordinary people need to be heard when it comes to infrastructural projects. They are the people on the ground, with years and years of local knowledge, and while they may not be correct all of the time they are usually able to steer so-called experts in the right direction. Which brings me to my central point.
On several occasions during the course of last Monday's show, Pat Kenny expressed astonishment at the fact that shops, hotels, houses and apartments had been built on flood plains. A councillor from Co Monaghan was wheeled out and made to look a prize fool for attempting to put a housing estate in the middle of a turlough. Residents of the flooded 'Waterways' complex in Co Kildare were reminded that the name of their new home should have been a giveaway clue when they were making their over-priced purchases. And the question everyone kept returning to during the course of the evening was how could planning permission have been granted for commercial and residential developments in flood plains?
I have to admit I smiled ironically at the naivety of those, including Pat Kenny, who posed that question because once upon a long time ago I was as naïve as them when it came to planning matters. That was back in the early part of this decade when I was reporting on the early stages of the Corrib Gas project.
The original plan for the terminal at Bellanaboy in North Mayo was so ridiculous it defied parody. The largest piece of infrastructure in the history of the State was to be constructed on an unstable bog, within close proximity of private residences and in an area that was utterly cut off from basic emergency services. Even more astounding was the plan to dig 500,000 tonnes of peat from the 400-acre site and dump it on a hill, overlooking a main road.
I sat through those early public hearings into the Corrib project with my mouth agape. I had gone there with pre-conceived prejudices: I believed the local residents, who were against the project, were essentially harebrained idealists with no concept of the real world, and were holding up badly-needed development in the West. But after hearing the plans for the terminal and pipeline I went away wondering who were the harebrained idealists and who were the realists. By the end of the second day I had made up my mind.
Almost a decade later I can still recall my utter astonishment when officials from the Health and Safety Authority told the hearing that dumping 500,000 tonnes of peat on the side of a hill in an area with a history of landslides was not a risk to public safety. It was one of those moments when you began to wonder if logic could be bad for your health. I had convinced myself - with all the naïvety of the uninitiated - that the civil servants responsible for health and safety would put an end to the charade that was unfolding before my eyes. Surely they would not put their imprimatur on a proposal that was clearly prejudicial to public safety?
But the officials didn't even stop to blink. They tipped their forelocks to the oil executives, gave a two-finger salute (metaphorically speaking, of course) to the local residents and told the hearing they were entirely satisfied with the project. The rest, as they say, is history.
Of course, the man-made mountain of peat at Bellanaboy never materialised because An Bord Pleanála shot it down, but the terminal went ahead and is now nearing completion. It's built on a bog - a notoriously volatile bog - but the Health and Safety Authority reckons it's okay so who am I to question their professional judgment. Government ministers also say it meets appropriate planning standards and I would not deign to question the opinion of these men and women of infinite wisdom who have managed the country so admirably in recent years.
Several of those protesters who lodged the early objections to Corrib now possess criminal records. They were right about one thing: Corrib was bad for their health and safety. It has to be said that some protesters have been lost in the fog of war and have done things that no law-abiding citizen could condone, but it should equally be acknowledged that they were treated with utter disdain from the first moment they lodged objections that were rooted in commonsense.
No-one in authority has accepted that were it not for these protesters 500,000 tonnes of peat would have been dumped on the side of a main road. It would have been in place by September 2003 when landslides devastated nearby Pullathomas. The UK geologist employed by An Bord Pleanála was certainly unimpressed with what was been proposed. The floods of the past month have given a previously uninformed public an insight into the shocking planning decisions that were made during the Celtic Tiger years. The emotions expressed on the Frontline last week were not dissimilar to those I experienced a decade ago in the Downhill Hotel in Ballina when I saw public servants - no doubt under pressure from senior government figures - acquiesce to a ludicrous scheme that was simply designed to save money for an avaricious exploration company.
I only hope the sins of bad planning in Bellanaboy do not come back to haunt us as they have done in other parts of the country. Such a scenario is just too awful to contemplate.

Irishman held over 'Bolivian Prez Plot'
Gerard Couzens - Irish Daily Mirror
Suspect awaiting extradition
Review of the week of Shell to Sea court hearings
Rudiger - Indymedia
Maura Harrington stated in court "the reality at Glengad is that Justice and the Law are mutually exclusive" and as the general secretary of the Garda Representative Association (GRA), PJ Stone eloquently put it this week, sometimes "justice is worth fighting for".
Last week (from 7th to 11th Dec) saw a week of special Shell to Sea sittings in Belmullet District Court to deal with campaigners who oppose the Corrib Gas Project. In total 25 people were up in court before Judge Gerard Haughton who had been drafted in for the week. 7 peoples had cases heard, while the other 18 peoples' cases were either introduced or just up for mention.
The week ended with Maura Harrington in jail after she received a 9 month sentence for cutting a net and causing damage of €160. The judge initially suspended the sentence but sent Maura to prison when she refused to be bound to the peace for 2 years. Other sentences included Terence Conway who was banned from driving for 4 years, Pat O Donnell who received a 2 month suspended sentence (suspended for six months) for breach of the peace and Niall Harnett who received a 3 month suspended sentence (bound to the peace for 18 months) for obstruction of a Garda. Martin Harrington received a 5 month suspended sentence for a section 2 assault on a Garda, while Pete Lavelle received a €500 fine - also for a section 2 assault on a Garda. Trevor Houghton received a €400 fine for not leaving the water when told to by a Garda while out on his kayak.

Defendants refused to undertake community service
Three Shell to Sea protesters who were involved in a protest in September 2008, while taking part in a vehicle protest throughout the Erris area in support of Maura Harrington's hunger strike, blocked in and surrounded an unmarked Garda car, were each sentenced to six months in jail after they refused to undertake community service.

Longtime AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka dies, remembered by Chicago-based union leaders
WASHINGTON — Richard Trumka, the powerful president of the AFL-CIO who rose from the coal mines of Pennsylvania to preside over one of the largest labor organizations in the world, died Thursday. He was 72.
The federation confirmed Trumka's death in a statement. He had been AFL-CIO president since 2009, after serving as the organization's secretary-treasurer for 14 years. From his perch, he oversaw a federation with more than 12.5 million members and ushered in a more aggressive style of leadership.
"The labor movement, the AFL-CIO and the nation lost a legend today," the AFL-CIO said. "Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the United Mine Workers of America to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America's labor movement."
President Joe Biden eulogized Trumka from the White House and said the labor leader had died of a heart attack while on a camping trip with his son and grandkids. He said he spoke with Trumka's widow and son earlier in the day.
"He wasn't just a great labor leader. He was a friend," Biden told reporters Thursday. "He was someone I could confide in, and you knew, whatever he said he would do, he would do."
Robert Reiter Jr., president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said Trumka was "a blue collar guy" with a gift for energizing union members. For those in corporate suites or political office, that gift would translate into an ability to bluntly speak truth to power, Reiter said.
Reiter recalled taking Trumka to work sites and phone banks during the 2010 election season. "He had no problem communicating with people," Reiter said, including asking them about their favorite pizza joints and using Reiter's pick, Aurelio's, to start a debate. "I was happy to be the object of his joke," Reiter said,
He said Trumka worked closely with the CFL, which covers about 300 labor groups and is an investor in the Chicago Sun-Times. The efforts include getting unions to collaborate on organizing across more workplaces. "Rich knew we were a great union town. He loved coming here and being part of the culture," Reiter said.
Tim Drea, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, called Trumka a "true champion for working people." Drea said, "He made workplace safety a priority, especially during the pandemic. He understood how to work with Democrats and Republicans to build the political support needed to keep working families in the fight."
In this April 4, 2017 file photo, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka speaks at the National Press Club in Washington. The longtime president of the AFL-CIO labor union has died. News of Richard Trumka's death was announced Thursday by President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Trumka was 72 and had been AFL-CIO president since 2009, after serving as the organization's secretary-treasurer for 14 years.
A burly man with thick eyebrows and a bushy mustache, Trumka was the son and grandson of coal miners. He was born in 1949 in the small southwest Pennsylvania town of Nemacolin and worked for seven years in the mines before earning an accounting degree from Penn State and then a law degree from Villanova University.
Trumka was tough and combative, a throwback to an old guard of union leaders from the labor movement's heyday. But he rose in a distinctly different era, as union membership declined and labor struggled to retain political power. He often focused on making the case for unions to the white, blue-collar workers who had turned away from Democrats — and speaking bluntly to them.
Trumka met with President Donald Trump on trade and health care issues, but their relationship remained contentious. He called Trump a "fraud" who had deceived the working class. Trump criticized Trumka as ineffectual. "No wonder unions are losing so much," Trump tweeted in 2019.
At times, Trumka challenged blue-collar workers to confront their own prejudices, including a forceful denunciation of racism in the union ranks during Barack Obama's first campaign for the White House.
"We can't tap dance around the fact that there's a lot of white folks out there … and a lot of them are good union people, they just can't get past this idea that there's something wrong with voting for a Black man," he said during an impassioned 2008 speech.
Until his death, he used his power to push for health care legislation, expanded workers rights and infrastructure spending.
Trumka was focused on the future, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler said, in the form of the proposed $1 trillion infrastructure bill that he believed would propel organized labor forward.
"He saw that if we were using the breadth and power of the labor movement and training it on a single goal that no one could stop us," Shuler said.
Larry Cohen, a longtime labor activist and former president of the Communications Workers of America, said Trumka's death was a "devastating" loss for labor, in part because of his long-standing relationship with Biden.
"His ability to talk to the president of the United States will be very hard to replace. It's a long history, based on personal trust. It's remarkable," said Cohen, who had known Trumka since the early 1980s.
Trumka burst into national union politics as a youthful 33-year-old lawyer when he became the United Mine Workers of America's president in 1982. Pledging the economically troubled union "shall rise again," Trumka beat sitting president Sam Church by a 2-to-1 margin and would serve in the role until he became the AFL-CIO's secretary-treasurer in 1995.
There, he led a successful strike against the Pittston Coal Company, which tried to avoid paying into an industrywide health and pension fund.
"I'd like to retire at this job," Trumka said in 1987. "If I could write my job description for the rest of my life, this would be it."
At age 43, Trumka led a nationwide strike against Peabody Coal in 1993. During the walk-off, he stirred controversy.
Asked about the possibility the company would hire permanent replacement workers, Trumka told The Associated Press, "I'm saying if you strike a match and you put your finger on it, you're likely to get burned." Trumka insisted he wasn't threatening violence against the replacements. "Do I want it to happen? Absolutely not. Do I think it can happen? Yes, I think it can happen," he said.
As AFL-CIO president, he vowed to revive unions' sagging membership rolls and pledged to make the labor movement appeal to a new generation of workers who perceive unions as "only a grainy, faded picture from another time."
"We need a unionism that makes sense to the next generation of young women and men who either don't have the money to go to college or are almost penniless by the time they come out," Trumka told hundreds of cheering delegates in a speech at the federation's annual convention in 2009.
That year, he was also a leading proponent during the health care debate for including a public, government-run insurance option, and he threatened Democrats who opposed one.
"We need to be a labor movement that stands by our friends, punishes its enemies and challenges those who, well, can't seem to decide which side they're on," he said.
During the 2011 debate over public employee union rights in GOP-controlled statehouses, Trumka said the angry protests it sparked were overdue.
Trumka said he hoped then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's bill to strip public employee unions of their bargaining power could renew support for unions after decades of decline. The move drew thousands of protesters to the Capitol in Madison.
Whether he meant to or not, Trumka said, Walker started a national debate about collective bargaining "that this country sorely needed to have."
Remembrances poured in Thursday from Trumka's Democratic allies in Washington.
"The working people of America have lost a fierce warrior at a time when we needed him most," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in announcing Trumka's death from the Senate floor.
"Richard Trumka dedicated his life to the labor movement and the right to organize," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, perhaps Trumka's closest ally during Obama's presidency, remembered Trumka as the "son and grandson of a miner," who brought that family history to the halls of power in Washington.
"You know, Rich had a view of the White House from his office," Perez said, recalling that Trumka displayed one of father's mining helmets in his office. "His father and grandfather never could have imagined their son and grandson ascending to such a high level. But what they'd be even more proud of is that he didn't allow it to go to his head. He never forgot his roots."

MINDEF refutes claims that acquisition of F-35 fighter jets by RSAF is to align itself with US
Posted 12 Mar, 2019
in Current Affairs, Politics
The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) stressed that the acquisition of F-35 fighter jets by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) is for Singapore's own defence deterrence and not directed against, or to align itself with, any particular country.
The ministry was responding to a report by American news outlet CNN, titled "The message to China behind Singapore's US F-35 jet plan." which wrote that analysts said Singapore's decision to acquire the F-35 was "indicative of growing concerns within Asia regarding China's regional ambitions".
Carl Schuster, a former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center, said in the report, "Singapore probably does not trust China's assurances that its South China Sea claims are benign, without military intentions and will not result in China taking control of air and sea commerce."
In the report, it was also said that the acquisition carried a message to China as Singapore will become "the fourth American ally" in the Pacific region to own F-35s, after Australia, Japan and South Korea, as well as saying that Singapore is a "close and long-time US ally" that "even hosts a US Navy facility".
MINDEF rebutted the statement, saying that these assertions were erroneous.
"Unlike other Asian countries who have acquired F-35s, Singapore is not a treaty ally of the US. While Singapore has allowed United States ships and aircraft usage of some of our military facilities, this is not a reaction to any recent developments. It is a long-standing arrangement dating back to 1990," Mindef wrote.
Dubbed one of the world's most advanced fighter jets – the model has been identified as a replacement for Singapore's ageing fleet of F-16s, which face obsolescence beyond 2030. Eariier in 18 January this year, the ministry had announced that the technical evaluation to select the next generation fighter to replace the F-16s has been completed by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) has been identified as the most suitable replacement to maintain the RSAF's capabilities.
Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen announced in Parliament on that Singapore would be seeking to buy four US F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft for a start, with an option for eight more.
In the Parliament, Dr Ng stated that Singapore has the endorsement of both the US administration and the Department of Defence for its proposed purchase of the F-35s. However, he noted that the US Congress must still approve it.
The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground-attack and air-superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR) variant.
As the largest and most expensive military program, the F-35 is the subject of much scrutiny and criticism in the U.S. and in other countries.
In 2013 and 2014, critics argued that the plane was "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time," instead of identifying and fixing "defects before firing up its production line".
By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget and seven years behind schedule". Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill".
The F-35 first flew on 15 December 2006. In July 2015, the United States Marines declared its first squadron of F-35B fighters ready for deployment; the U.S. Air Force followed suit with its first squadron of F-35As in August 2016.
In 2018, the F-35 was used in combat for the first time, by the Israeli Air Force.
The United States plans to buy 2,663 F-35s, which will provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2070.

Provincial & Territorial Laws
Are there provincial and territorial impaired driving laws and penalties?
Yes. While only the Federal government has the authority to create criminal offences and to apply criminal penalties and imprison impaired drivers, the provinces and territories are responsible for driver licensing. This enables them to create provincial offences and impose administrative penalties for drinking and driving through provincial/territorial Motor Vehicle Acts. This means that provinces/territories are able to impose driver's licence suspensions and various administrative penalties for drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that is below the criminal level of .08. Almost all jurisdictions have chosen to set a lower BAC limit and it ranges from .04 to .08. Provincial/territorial BAC limits are contained in the table below:
Provincial & Territorial BAC Limits
British Columbia .05
Alberta .05
Saskatchewan .04
Manitoba .05
Ontario .05
Quebec .08
New Brunswick .05 Nova Scotia .05
Newfoundland & Labrador .05
Prince Edward Island .05
Yukon .08
Northwest Territories .05
Nunavut .05
In addition to the criminal penalties imposed by the Courts, administrative penalties may be imposed by the driver licensing agency in each province and territory. These penalties include a roadside driver's licence suspension and/or an administrative licence suspension. The BAC thresholds and length of suspensions vary from one province/territory to another. These penalties are outlined in the following table:
Provincial & Territorial Penalties for Impaired Driving

Pan, in Greek mythology, a fertility deity, more or less bestial in form.
Pan's Labyrinth (Spanish: El laberinto del fauno, lit.
(Pan-Facts and Info)Del Toro states that the reason he chose this imagery was "the faun in classical mythology was at the same time a creature of destruction, and a creature of nurturing and life" (Pan and the Fairies-Making of Pan's Labyrinth).
(Pan's Labyrinth ). In book 9 of Homer's The Odyssey, Odysseus is in the land of the giants and decides to steal provisions from a lone giant who lives in a cave named Polyphemus.
There are also certain similarities between Ofelia and Persephone, who was stolen by Hades, Greek god of the underworld. In this version of Pan, the Faun is a part goat and part forest, rather than a human, having tree roots for legs and being covered in moss and shrubbery.
Pan's Labyrinth, following the typical hero's journey (Campbell), is riddled with reimaginings and imagery from the ancient Greco-roman myths of Pan and Echo, Odysseus and the Cyclops, and power-loving oppressive Cronos.. Don't waste time! Although the fairies are shaking their head furiously as Ofelia reaches and consumes the forbidden fruit upon the table, giving in to the temptation and bringing the pale man to life. She wanted to hear the story of a wanderer in Troy's adventure.
The film, a Spanish-Mexican co-production, stars Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú, Doug Jones, and Ariadna Gil. Change ). He forces his will and expects them both to follow. In Greek mythology, Cronos is the father of Zeus and his siblings. This climax leads to her death in the mortal realm and being reincarnated in the underworld. His father was usually said to be Hermes, but a comic invention held that he was the product of an orgy of Odysseus's wife Penelope with her many suitors. ( Log Out / As a plus Echo is referenced when Ofelia first enters the labyrinth chasing the fairy, still in bug form and she calls 'echo' to bounce her voice off the walls. Articles from Britannica Encyclopedias for elementary and high school students. In the Odyssey, Odysseus states, I tied them [rams] silently [...], Since the Grecian times, poems have been a very integral and influential part of every culture. The Muse begins reciting the story of Odysseus to the goddess. ( Log Out /

He rushes Ofelia and she narrowly escapes with hers and the last fairy's life.
Viewing Pan's Labyrinth from a modern context tell a story about the rebelling against fascist ideals and the ability to choose for oneself.
Originally an Arcadian deity, his name is a Doric contraction of paon ("pasturer") but was commonly supposed in antiquity to be connected with pan ("all"). He grabs his eyes set upon a dish and inserts them into his hands so he can see, then grabbing two of the fairies proceeds to eat them live.
He haunted the high hills, and his chief concern was with flocks and herds, not with agriculture; hence he can make humans, like cattle, stampede in "panic" terror. In the Odyssey, one sees that the Greeks make the Gods extremely powerful in determining Odysseus' fate.
(Question: how does this connect to the plot and themes of the movie?) She is given chalk where in her room she draws a door that comes into being and transports her into another dimension. She is given the fairies as companions by the faun and is warned not to eat or touch anything other than the dagger required.
[...], Lighting in ancient Greece was lit by daylight and the dramas were frequently designed to take advantage of the position of the sun.
Originally an Arcadian deity, his name is a Doric contraction of paon ("pasturer") but was commonly supposed in antiquity to be connected with pan ("all"). Given the translation of the title, we can infer that the Faun character is a version of Pan, who was another character from Greek myth (though Pan was not the only faun).

Pan was generally represented as a vigorous and lustful figure having the horns, legs, and ears of a goat; in later art the human parts of his form were much more emphasized. This is displayed by the last labor in which he requests the blood of Ofelia's infant brother, ending with it being a test to see if she was pure of heart and intention. Contrary to Odysseus, Ofelia's adventure ends in her physical death and soul's ascension to the throne of the underworld to be reunited with her parents.
While the myth of Cronus directly influenced the film thematically, Pan's Labyrinth has a scene that gives homage to a painting of Cronos by Francisco Goya. At the start of the film when Carmen and Ofelia are being brought to meet captain Vidal in the rurally set base.
However, Ofelia more conscious of it being a part of life brings to life a magical connection where fairies, that look like bugs live in the forest and the Faun is an important link between the natural world and the human reality. Relating the Faun to Pan and Echo, the nymph he killed due to unrequited lust. Ofelia is the heroine of Pan's Labyrinth and can be compared to Odysseus.

He ate his children for fear of being overthrown by them. Alluding to the Pan of the ancient tales who is the god of the forest. He was associated by the Romans with Faunus. This first meeting between Ofelia and Vidal is tense where he comments on her reading choice, a book on fairies, and the way she attempts to shake his hand.
He was lecherous and had many stories where he chased nymphs or bedded goddesses and animals. This paper will discuss the similarities and differences [...], The plot of the Aeneid is wholeheartedly driven by the Gods.
Plutarch wrote that during the reign of Tiberius the crew of a ship sailing near Greece heard a voice calling out "The great Pan is dead." Christians took this episode to be simultaneous with the death of Christ.
Ofelia acts out a reimagined version of Odysseus vs the Cyclops, the film has Pan as a trickster character, and the entirety of the film has the oppressive them of Cronos as the controlling freedom inhibiting stepfather and the pale man imagery.
There were sites specifically placed to gain the best effects of the natural light. Poems have affected whole countries at a time by expressing emotion, deep feelings, and a sense of what is beautiful about the world. In the film, Vidal is the captain of the fascist military compound and is involved in a violent suppression of rebellion where he seems to find pleasure in the violence and power he exerts. From India to America, people have always drawn important parts of life and history from poems.
Ofelia in Pan's Labyrinth undergoes labors to reach an ultimate "happy" ending and the film draws from Greek myth, blending ancient narratives with modern culture and politics. Omissions? This is when the first glimpse of the faun is shown, he is seemingly a part of the forest wall, and as "Echo" is called he begins to shift to attention. In order to do this, he hid his men in cattle to escape from the cyclops. When viewed from an ancient context it would have been a tragic female coming of age story. ( Log Out /

In the film's version of Pan, the Faun wasn't a sexualized creature he is the trickster character who dispatches Ofelia on her three tasks in order to reach her "true" family in the underworld. Being able to compare so many Greek myths to this film shows that the myths are timeless and still inspiring artists.

This influence of this scene was an Easter egg of sorts since the actual character of the Pale Man and the struggle Ofelia faces with him is much more reminiscent of Odysseus and the Cyclops. Our editors will review what you've submitted and determine whether to revise the article.

This deluded attempt at saving himself leads him to the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy when Zeus, helped by Rhea, overthrows him and saves his siblings. According to Del Toro, he created the character of Vidal to stand for limited choice and to be the antihero in which Ofelia was fighting against for freedom to choose. The Cronos of Greco-Roman myth is given a prophecy in which one of his children will overthrow him, as he overthrew his own father. His father was usually In this modern take on the myth, nature is seen as unnecessary to the rest of the characters due to the political and bloody conflict between Vidal's troops and the rebels.

His rough figure was antithetical to, for example, that of Apollo, who represented culture and sophistication.
The film Pan's Labyrinth takes a spin on the myth of Pan with the Faun. The myth of Cronos was kept the same in essence but Del Toro created a human version of Cronos that was applicable to the fantasy portion of the film as well as the post-civil war Spain with violent political unrest.
The overthrowing of this figure is both a metaphor of freedom for Ofelia but also of the freedom and political success in which sacrifices were made to overthrow the fascist regime of post-civil war Spain. In the Greco-Roman myth, Pan was the god of nature, half goat and half human. Corrections?

This story was written in a culture that believed in the influence of Gods in everyday life. Saturn was the Roman name for the Greek god Cronos, father of Zeus.

Jack Foley is a Hollywood legend---he did his job best by not letting anyone know he existed. But Foley's legacy lives on in every film and television program we watch---it's there in the footsteps of the star walking down a street, in the rustle of a dress, in the pounding of horse-hoofs. Foley made these sounds and many more on his stage at Universal studios. Foley was there on the studio's maiden voyage into sound pictures. At first, he and his team of sound men had only one chance to get all the sound right. Foley figured out that by projecting the film and recording the sound effects in sync, he would get the best effect---and he would do each effect one at a time, till the various sounds were all put together with the film--a method today called Foley. Foley's stage looked more like a garage than a recording studio---dirt, gravel, and lots of junk everywhere. These were the tools of his trade. Foley's voice was never recorded and there are no pictures of him at his work---but he is remembered by those who worked with him.
Lost and Found Sound: <I>The House of Night</I>
February 25, 2000 • This year we're continuing our Lost and Found Sound series on an occasional basis. Today's installment, "The House of Night," is the story of the Mojave Indians, their language and their songs and one man who tried to preserve both for future generations. Beginning in the mid-1960's Guy Tyler began making recordings of the Mojave language and of their 525 song cycle, called the Creation Song. This 13 hour song is a map of the tribe's origins. The songs describe celestial cycles, the positions of stars, planets, and elaborate descriptions of migratory birds.

The Bag Lady Wants To Give Christmas Treats To Women & Children In Our Services
A special Secret Santa is set to bring a little sparkle into the lives of domestic abuse survivors this Christmas.
A local woman, who wants to remain anonymous, is making a special gesture to women who have experienced abuse by giving them a special luxury treat bag.
"The idea came to me after witnessing the kindness of people with huge piles of Santa parcels for children appearing through the city," she said.
"I realised that we try to meet the needs of children at Christmas, ensuring they are cared for and made to feel special, and rightly so, but it got me thinking about women in difficult situations who put the needs of others before their own."
The woman, who calls herself "The Bag lady" contacted Foyle Women's Aid to research the idea.
"Domestic Violence victims often have reached rock bottom before they look for help," she explained. "Confidence and self-esteem are often at a low ebb and can remain so, even after they have got away from the abuse.
"Hopefully to receive a luxury bag of treats at Christmas will help make the feel special and acknowledged," she said.
Foyle Women's Aid, fully back the "Bag Lady's" plan: "Pulling Christmas together for their families can be a stressful and difficult time for women who have been abused. It is true that they go without themselves to make Christmas magical for their children," a spokesperson said.
"This generous and thoughtful idea to create a unique gift for women who may get little else, is wonderful and we support it 100%."
The "Bag Lady" has set a target of 100 bags this year and has started fundraising to purchase the contents. If you want to join the Bag Lady in spreading Christmas magic this year you can help by making a donation by contacting Foyle Women's Aid on 02871416800 or info@foylewomensaid.org.
Or you can donate by going online to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/thebaglady

Trump, Pelosi, Schumer bicker on-camera in Oval Office spat over border wall
By Erica Werner and John Wagner
The Washington Post |
President Donald Trump debates with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., left, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., right, as Vice President Mike Pence listens during a meeting in the Oval Office of White House on Dec. 11, 2018 in Washington, D.C. (Jabin Botsford / The Washington Post)
President Donald Trump, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer berated one another on camera Tuesday over Trump's border wall, an Oval Office spectacle that underscored the distance between the two sides as they confront a fast-approaching deadline for a partial government shutdown.
The stunning public spat, during which Schumer accused the president of throwing a "temper tantrum," ended with Trump declaring that he'd be proud to shut down the government in order to get the money he wants for his long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. If the president follows through on the threat, about 25 percent of the federal government would begin to run out of money on Dec. 21, putting hundreds of thousands of federal workers at risk of getting furloughed without pay just before Christmas.
The two sides remain billions of dollars apart on border-security spending - the president is demanding $5 billion for a wall, and Democrats will offer no more than $1.3 billion for fencing - and Tuesday's talks brought them no closer to a resolution. The three leaders pointed fingers, raised their voices and interrupted one another repeatedly as they fought over policy and politics, laying bare their differences for all to see.
Pelosi, D-Calif., and Schumer, D-N.Y., had not expected the session to be televised and repeatedly asked Trump to take the discussions off-camera. But the president allowed the acrimonious encounter to continue for nearly 20 minutes before kicking the media out of the Oval Office.
As the argument dragged on, Schumer lectured Trump, saying, "Elections have consequences, Mr. President."
Trump claimed that, because she is working to nail down the votes to become speaker, "Nancy's in a situation where it's not easy for her to talk right now."
Pelosi retorted: "Please don't characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting as the leader of the House Democrats who just won a big victory."
It was the first meeting of the three leaders in more than a year, and if it offered a taste of politics in Washington in 2019, when Democrats will control the House, the capital is in for a rough ride.
And while Trump has dangled shutdown threats in the past over funding the wall, Democrats' upcoming House takeover has given both sides incentives to dig in, raising the prospects of an extended shutdown.
Republicans are about to lose their grip on full control of Washington and know this is their last chance to deliver on Trump's border wall, a presidential promise many GOP members echoed in their own campaigns.
GOP congressional leaders had urged Trump to put off a shutdown fight until after the midterm elections for fear of losing more seats. Now, with the midterms over, the president appears to want that fight, even though few congressional Republicans desire a shutdown.
Democrats feel emboldened by their success in the midterm elections and are in no mood to give in to Trump's demands, especially with Pelosi and Schumer facing pressure from liberals in their party to not back down. Trump long promised Mexico would pay for the wall but is now demanding that U.S. taxpayers foot the bill, a reversal that has hardened Democrats' resolve against a project Pelosi has termed "immoral."
During the private portion of the meeting, Pelosi pressed Trump on his claim that Mexico would pay for the wall, and he told her that the money would come from the newly renegotiated North American trade deal. It wasn't clear how this would work and Pelosi dismissed the idea, according to an account she later gave fellow Democrats.
The $1.3 billion proposed by Democrats would extend current funding levels for border fencing contained in a spending bill for the Homeland Security Department - a level that would give Trump no new money for work on a wall.
Absent an agreement by the end of next week, funding will run out for the Homeland Security Department and other agencies, including the Justice, Interior and Agriculture departments. Those agencies, making up about 25 percent of the federal government, are operating on a short-term spending bill Congress passed last week to move the shutdown deadline. The rest of the federal government, including the Pentagon and the Health and Human Services Department, has been funded through the 2019 budget year.

Any shutdown would therefore be limited in scope, but there are still numerous federal workers employed by agencies large and small that are at risk of shutting down everything except operations deemed critical. The impact on the federal workforce and the public would depend on how long the shutdown lasted.
Pelosi and Schumer implored Trump to steer clear of a shutdown.
"I think the American people recognize that we must keep government open, that a shutdown is not worth anything and that you should not have a Trump shutdown," Pelosi said, to which Trump replied, "Did you say 'Trump'?"
Trump initially said he did not want a shutdown, but in the end, he announced he was willing to close the government.
"I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck," Trump declared. "Because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into this country. So I will take the mantle, I will be the one to shut it down. I won't blame you for it."
"We believe you shouldn't shut it down," Schumer repeated.
During the private part of the meeting, Pelosi told reporters later, she warned Trump that if he doesn't accept the deal Democrats have offered him, the House will go ahead and pass it next year, under Democratic control.
"We're telling him we'll keep government open with the proposal that Mr. Schumer suggested. Why doesn't he just think about it? In fact, I asked him to pray over it," Pelosi said.
Pelosi told Trump the House would not even be able to pass his $5 billion wall bill this session, but Trump insisted that the House could but it would be pointless because it would not pass the Senate.
"OK, then do it," Pelosi challenged the president.

"Nancy, I'd have it passed in two seconds," Trump said. House GOP leadership aides agree that a $5 billion wall bill could pass the House, and it may come up for a vote by the end of next week.
Trump continued: "Nancy, I need 10 votes from Chuck," referring to Senate math requiring 60 votes to advance spending bills, necessitating support from Democrats.
Schumer sought to interject and told Trump: "We have solutions that will pass the House and Senate right now and will not shut down the government, and that's what we're urging you to do. Not threaten to shut down the government because you can't get your way."
Trump replied: "You don't want to shut down the government because the last time you shut it down you got killed," referring to a brief shutdown earlier this year that Democrats provoked over immigration.
The leaders also argued about the meaning of the midterm election results. As Pelosi and Schumer pointed to Democrats' resounding win in the House, Trump said: "Excuse me, did we win the Senate? We won the Senate."

"When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble," Schumer remarked in response.
Vice President Mike Pence sat near Trump in an armchair the entire time without saying anything. Later, at a lunch with GOP senators, Pence referred jokingly to what had transpired, remarking that the Trump the public sees at rallies is just like the one who negotiates in Washington.
The private part of the meeting did not produce immediate results, either, although Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol later that "I think we're actually in a pretty good place" and that Trump will weigh the deal the Democrats offered.
After Pelosi and Schumer exited the White House, Schumer told reporters: "If he sticks to his position for a $5 billion wall he will get no wall, and he will get a shutdown. The bottom line is very, very simple."
Even after two turbulent years under Trump, the Oval Office throwdown had some senators shaking their heads.
"I don't think it's something to be proud of, I think it's something to be resolved about. I'm ready to do this. Listen, enough is enough," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said Trump feels compelled to keep the cameras in the room because he is frustrated with media coverage of his administration and wants to showcase his ability to govern and confront Democrats to a large audience.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made clear after the meeting that he opposes having a shutdown, saying that the public opposes government shutdowns no matter who starts them. "I understand it was a rather spirited meeting we all watched, but I'd still like to see a smooth ending here and I haven't given up hope that that's what we'll have," he told reporters.
"The president feels that he never gets a fair shake from journalists generally, and he's going to do everything he can to get his message out," Grassley said.
But Grassley, a veteran of the Senate, said the televised clash told him little about the state of the talks over the budget and border security: "It hasn't solved one thing in terms of compromise. It shows people he's attentive and intent on not letting people down. . . . the people who are fearful of a caravan invasion."

Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, held out hope that the Oval Office clash might have cleared the air to allow serious talks to begin.
"You see it all the time with objections that are raised, and then people come together and get it done," Tester said. "I think it was, although a bit uncomfortable to watch, I think it was fine."
Trump had begun the day Tuesday by posting a series of tweets threatening that if Democrats do not provide enough votes to build the wall, "the Military will build the remaining sections." He did not elaborate on how that would be funded.
By the end of the day, Pelosi was crowing over her performance in the meeting, telling fellow Democrats privately that getting Trump to own a potential shutdown was an accomplishment, according to an aide in the room who spoke on condition of anonymity to relay a private conversation.
Pelosi gave this version of events, according to the aide: "The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out. I was trying to be the mom. I can't explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: You get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you."

Agriculture, Veterinary & Rangeland Sciences
The University of Nevada, Reno offers a pre-professional program in Veterinary Science through the Department of Agriculture, Nutrition & Veterinary Sciences.
The Veterinary Science Program is outstanding based on the number of students accepted into veterinary schools and the success of these students in the professional schools. The veterinary science curriculum satisfies the entrance requirements of most schools offering a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program in the United States.
Upon completion of undergraduate and veterinary school, graduates have many opportunities. New graduates can choose to work in education, research, regulatory medicine, public health, private industry or a private clinical practice, or they can continue on to a specialty field such as equine, feline, food animal, toxicology, pharmacology, dermatology, surgery, pathology or radiology just to name a few.
What kind of salary do veterinarian graduates earn? In 2017, the median annual income nationwide for veterinarians was $90,420 ( Bureau of Labor Statistics). The average annual salary for veterinarians in the Federal Government was $85,179.
How do I prepare? High school students interested in veterinary science should take at least one year each of biology, chemistry and physics. Math should include algebra, geometry and trigonometry (introductory calculus is also useful). It is strongly recommended to remain in math and science courses all four years of high school. Courses that emphasize oral and written communication skills, as well as basic computer knowledge, are also recommended.
What will I study? Students enrolled in the veterinary science curricula receive a specific background in the biological and natural sciences to prepare them for professional veterinary school. Coursework will include the following areas: organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, anatomy and physiology, physics, microbiology and animal nutrition. Additional coursework in social science, English, fine arts and speech communication will round out the program.
Where will I finish the professional portion of my education? Our students have continued their studies at many schools, including Auburn University; University of California,Davis; Colorado State University; Oregon State University; Washington State University; University of Florida; Purdue University; University of Georgia; Iowa State University; Ohio State University; Kansas State University; Louisiana State University; Tufts University; Michigan State University; University of Minnesota; Mississippi State University; University of Missouri,Columbia; Cornell University; North Carolina University; Oklahoma State University; University of Pennsylvania; University of Tennessee; Texas A&M University; Virginia Maryland regional College and University of Wisconsin, Madison.
During the last year of the pre-professional program, Nevada residents may apply through a resident contract program to:
The contract program for state residents is administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). The State of Nevada has contracts with these schools to pay for 75 percent of the non-resident tuition fee. The student is responsible for 25 percent of the non-resident tuition and an in-state tuition fee. A student must be a one-year resident of Nevada by October 15 of the year in which he or she applies in order to receive support from the state.
Students participating in this contract program must return to Nevada after graduation from the professional school for four (4) years (one year for each year of support). Students are not limited to apply to only the WICHE contract schools. Many are accepted into other professional schools throughout the United States.
Acceptance into a school of veterinary medicine is based on the following criteria:
Score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)
Community activity and leadership roles
Personal interview (occasionally)
Work experience (especially with a veterinarian). Students are encouraged to obtain a minimum of 500 hours of practical experience working with a veterinarian prior to application.
Each veterinary school has its own unique pre-veterinary requirements. It is the student's responsibility to contact each school of interest for the latest pre-veterinary requirements.

Police confirm remains of Kara Nichols found, 10 years after she went missing
Police say they have found the remains of 19-year-old aspiring model, Kara Nichols, nearly 10 years after she went missing.
COLORADO SPRINGS — Police say they found the remains of 19-year-old aspiring model, Kara Nichols, nearly 10 years after she went missing.
On Thursday, the El Paso County Coroner's Office positively identified the remains as Nichols at the property located in the 9600 block of Burgess Road.
Nichols, who attempted to spark her modeling career at age 19, told her friends she would be traveling from Colorado Springs to Denver for a photoshoot in 2012 on Oct. 9. She wouldn't be seen again.
"A witness was located and interviewed. There was critical information given in that interview which provided a significant new lead," said Sheriff Bill Elder.
Her body was found off of Burgess Road in Black Forest, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were also on the scene.
El Paso County Sheriff's Office
46-year-old Joel Hollendorfer.
Police have arrested 46-year-old Joel Hollendorfer in connection with Nichols' murder. He is charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
During a hearing, prosecutors told the judge that charges were likely to increase to First Degree Murder based on autopsy results.
During his advisement hearing on Wednesday, the judge increased Hollendorfer's bond to $1 million. He was also ordered to surrender his passport and was deemed a flight risk due to his previous Failure to Appear Charges.
Hollendorfer's next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, February 17
"There have been hundreds of hours worked on this case, dozens of search warrants executed, and numerous leads which have come in over the duration of this case spanning across the United States and Europe," said Elder.
In 2016, four years after her disappearance, the family got new tips about their daughter. Michelle Bart, president of National Women's Coalition Against Violence and Exploitation (NWCAVE), said those tips had led Nichols' family to believe their daughter had died.
The NWCAVE has been involved with this case and the Nichols family since soon after the teen's disappearance.

The suicide rate among members of Generation Z, those born after the mid-1990s, has reached at an alarming level, according to a new study released in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
A joint study conducted by Harvard Medical School and Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University found that people ages 15 to 19, especially males, are increasingly attempting suicide. The suicide rate increased in 2017 to its highest point since 2000.
The researchers searched the Centers for Disease Control Underlying Cause of Death database, a national data set based on death certificates and population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, to collect their data.
A total of 6,241 suicides occurred in individuals ages 15 to 24 years in 2017, out of which 5,016 were male and 1,225 were female, according to Centers for Disease Control data. The suicide rate in 2017 was 27.1 per 100, 000 in males and 6.2 per 100, 000 in females. The rate in 2000 was 12.5 per 100, 000.
In the 15 to 19 age range, the suicide rate was 11.8 per 100, 000 in 2017 in comparison to 8 per 100 ,000 in 2000.
A recent Pew Research Center survey revealed that 70 percent of U.S. teens, ages 13 to 17, believe that anxiety and depression are major problems among people their age in the communities where they live.
61 percent of students cited getting good grades as a major cause of pressure. Another 29 percent felt pressure to look good, 28 percent to fit in socially, and 21 percent see being good at sports as a cause of pressure.
Following mental health issues, for nearly 55 percent of teens, bullying is a major problem among their peers. 33 percent of those surveyed called gangs a major problem.
A similar report, released by the American Psychological Association in 2018, found that 91 percent of Generation Z adults claim to have experienced symptoms of depression or anxiety, associated with stress.
