Pet Stores In LA Will Be Required To Sell Only Rescues If City Council Motion Passes (Huffington post)

The cute puppy and kitten faces peering out from Los Angeles malls and
storefronts could soon all be rescues. The LA City Council Tuesday voted 11-1
in favor of banning stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits that are not
rescues.

Councilman Paul Koretz, who sponsored the motion, explained to The Huffington
Post that the measure is in large part in response to the problems caused by
puppy and kitchen mills. “Puppy mill dogs are kept in horrible, inhumane
conditions. Puppies and kittens, in the case of kitten mills, often end up
with severe health problems and sometimes behavioral problems,” he said. “They
also make worse the problem of an overabundance of animals and the euthanasia
of hundreds of thousands of animals,” he added.

He speaks from personal experience. Koretz’s own Bichon Frise died due to an
illness he believes was caused by conditions at the puppy mill that sold him
the dog. “I’ve always been an animal lover,” Koretz said to HuffPost. For him,
the measure is a “win win win win” on many levels: fighting animal cruelty,
reduction in overpopulation and ending euthanization.

100 Words Per Minute: Tales from behind Law Office Doors $2.86 100 Words Per Minute-Tales From Behind Law Office Doors presents an intimate look inside the quirky world of law offices. The stories of tyrant and tired litigators along with their devoted, though sometimes devious secretaries come alive through a series of essays, punctuated by quick poetic jabs. The author’s career spans over twenty-five years of law office work, from naïve clerk typist in non-profit law, to stressed-out secretary in small plaintiff and large corporate firms, and finally to slightly elevated but no less conflicted office manager. “The hook of my connection to legal work was so gentle that I never noticed when it actually went in, twisted, and then lodged itself for the remainder of my working years.” Weaving humor and pathos together, 100 Words Per Minute takes a hard look back at the author’s unintentional career in the legal field, offering a raw perspective on uncelebrated office workers whose stories are rarely if ever told.

Chapters: 1691 Treaties, States and Territories Established in 1691, Province of New Hampshire, Province of Massachusetts Bay, Treaty of Limerick. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Province of New Hampshire was a crown colony organized on October 7, 1691, during the period of British colonization of the Americas. The charter was enacted May 14, 1692, by William and Mary, the joint monarchs of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, at the same time that the Province of Massachusetts Bay was created. Both were formerly parts of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Province of New Hampshire was located in the present-day U.S. state of New Hampshire, and was named after the county of Hampshire in southern England by John Mason. The province did not get its own colonial governor until 1741, when Benning Wentworth was appointed. Many of the subsequent New Hampshire Grants later became the state of Vermont. Prior to British colonization, the area which became the province was populated by bands of the Abenaki, who lived in sometimes large villages of longhouses. Depending on the season they would either remain near their villages to fish, gather plants, engage in sugaring, and trade or fight with their neighbors, or head to nearby fowling and hunting grounds; later they also farmed tobacco and the”three sisters”: corn, beans, and squash. Prior to 1691, the “New Hampshire Colony” was the product of several English land grants dating from 1623, when it was first founded by John Mason, to 1680. For much of its colonial history it was controlled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony based in Boston. In 1631 Captain Thomas Wiggin served as the first governor of the province of the Upper Plantation of New Hampshire, comprising modern-day Dover, Durham and Stratham… More:

Excerpt: The Year 1812 , Festival Overture in E flat major , Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture (French : Ouverture Solennelle, L’Année 1812 , Russian : «1812 », Festival Overture The Year 1812 ), is an overture written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1880 to commemorate Russia’s defense of Moscow against Napoleon ‘s advancing Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812. The overture debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20, 1882, in the Gregorian calendar (the date in the Julian calendar was August 8). The overture is best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire and ringing chimes.On his 1891 visit to the United States, Tchaikovsky conducted the piece at the dedication of Carnegie Hall in New York City . While this piece has little connection with United States history besides the War of 1812 diverting the British, freeing Napoleon to attack Russia, it is often a staple at Fourth of July celebrations, such as the annual show by the Boston Pops and at Washington DC’s annual program called A Capitol Fourth . Instrumentation The 1812 Overture is scored for an orchestra that consists of the following: Notes: 1. “Open” instrumentation consisting of “any extra brass instruments” available. In some indoor performances, the part may be played on an organ .2. Sometimes substituted with tubular bells or recordings of carillons .3. In the sections in which cannon shots are played, the actual cannons are sometimes replaced by recorded cannons or played on a piece of staging, usually with a large wooden mallet or sledge hammer . The bass drum and tam-tam are also regularly used in indoor performances.Musical structure Sixteen cannon shots are written into the score of the Overture. Beginning

Excerpt: For other parks of the same name, see White City (amusement park) White City (sometimes listed as White City Amusement Park in print advertisements) was a recreational area located in the Greater Grand Crossing and Woodlawn community areas on the south side of Chicago from 1905 until the 1950s. At the time of its opening, on May 26, 1905, it was claimed to be the largest park of its type in the United States. It contributed to Chicago’s status as the city with the most amusement parks in the United States until 1908. It eventually introduced the world to the Goodyear Blimp, which was first assembled at the park. Time once used the park as point of reference for the city of Chicago. The park was located at 63rd Street and South Avenue and covered fourteen acres of land with gardens and strolling paths. There were several buildings all lined with white lights, from which the park took its name. One of the buildings housed a ballroom with a dancefloor large enough for 1,000 dancers. The park had a tower that could be seen for 15 miles (24.1 km). The College Inn, a restaurant, could seat 2,500 diners at a time. “White City” was also the name associated with the landscaping and architecture of the World’s Columbian Exposition, held near the same location in 1893 because the exhibition’s buildings used plaster of Paris and were painted a chalky white. In its prime the park rivalled Coney Island as a model for worldwide amusement park architects, designers and planners. There was no general admission ticket, and patrons purchased tickets to use each of the park’s features. White City was originally envisioned to be like Dreamland, a park in Brooklyn that was widely praised for its amazing spectacles. The park’s ambitious plan faced obstacles. The … More:

28men $26.1 Revenge was just one of the catalysts responsible for the disposal of the Australian Commonwealth Shipping Line to Great Britain. In reality the final sale was a gift to a conglomerate of British shipowners; five new passenger ships and two large special purpose vessels all that remained of 57 ships. Ships sold for little more than their scrap value with a small down payment followed by default.28men depicts an explosive period of endemic industrial disputation, the near general strike that crippled New South Wales in 1917. During this volatile period of strikes, union power, political intrigues and a world at war, there emerged from near anarchy a conservative cohesion of political forces within the Australian government.A coalition of Nationalist and Country Party had ample justification to crush the union movement; the Moreton Bay debacle as flagship of the Sydney Harbour Regatta, the Bass Strait ferry Loongana near tragedy, and the doomed union struggle against the introduction of a foreign time and motion regime. On a permanent confrontational footing strode the Wobblies through the shambles, Industrial Workers of the World who fearlessly fought the establishment with sometimes disastrous results. Out of this turmoil a chance meeting in New York between a young Australian seaman and an I.W.W. organiser grew a love story as turbulent as the period.

419 Scam: Exploits of the Nigerian Con Man $14.95 The “419″ scam is an aspect of transnational financial crime with a ‘modus operandi’ peculiar to the Nigerian swindler. The most recurrent type of transnational “419″ scam is the “advance fee fraud”. It is usually introduced in the form of a business contract, a transfer of stolen money or money from over-invoiced contract, the purchase of crude oil from Nigeria at a relatively cheap rate, and transfer of money left by a deceased person (will scam). In all situations, the victim is eventually lured into an endless period of advance fee payment. The “black money” scam is almost as popular as the advance fee fraud and is sometimes, practiced in continuation of advance fee scam. The victim is introduced to a large sum of money that needs to be cleaned by a special liquid solution. The victim parts with money upon the supposition that the black money would be cleaned and given to him. The con man gets away with the victim’s money leaving him with a bunch of worthless papers. The 419 Scam business is not restricted to defrauding foreigners. There are two groups of con men in Nigeria: The local and the International “419ners”. The local groups specialize in defrauding Nigerians while the more advanced International syndicates fish out victims from Europe, America, Asia and South Africa. The local ones eventually grow to international status after they have made enough money to acquire computers, facsimile and telephone lines and other gadgets necessary for the scam business.”Tive’s insight of the perpetrators behind the advance fee fraud coupled with his knowledge on the topic show that he is a true authority on the subject.”-Ralph A. Gonzales, SpecialAgent-in-Charge, United States Secret Service”This book by Charles Tive is an excellent portrayal of the 419 scam, its operators, and its basic operations.”-Gary M.

A Bitter Living: Women, Markets, and Social Capital in Early Modern Germany $49.99 What role did women play in the pre-industrial European economy? Was it brought about by biology, culture, social institutions, or individual choices? And what were its consequences – for women, for men, for society at large? Women were key to the changes in the European economy between 1600 and 1800 that paved the way for industrialization. But we still know little about this female ‘shadow economy’ – and nothing quantitative or systematic.This book tackles these questions in a new way. It uses a unique micro-level database and rich qualitative sources to illuminate women’s contribution to a particular pre-industrial economy: the German state of Württemberg, which was in many ways typical of early modern Europe. Markets expanded here between 1600 and 1800, opening opportunities outside the household for both women and men. But they were circumscribed by strong ‘social networks’ – local communities and rural guilds with state support. Modern political scientists have praised social networks for generating ‘social capital’ – shared norms and collective sanctions which benefit network insiders, and sometimes the whole society. But this book reveals the dark side of ‘social capital’: insiders excluded and harmed outsiders, especially women, to the detriment of the economy at large.Early modern European economies differed widely in their restrictions on the role of women. But the monocausal approaches (technological, cultural, institutional) that dominate the existing literature cannot explain these differences. This book proposes an alternative approach driven by the decision individual women themselves made as they negotiated a wide array of constraints and pressures (including technological, cultural, and institutional ones). We are not only brought closer to the ‘bitter living’ pre-industrial women scraped together , but find out how it came to be so bitter, and how restrictions on women inflicted a bitter living on everyone.

A Brief Introduction to Numerical Analysis $43.26 This is an advanced textbook based on lectures delivered at the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute. Brevity, logical organization of the material, and a sometimes lighthearted approach are distinctive features of this modest book. The author makes the reader an active participant by asking questions, hinting, giving direct recommendations, comparing different methods, and discussing pessimistic and optimistic approaches to numerical analysis in a short time. Since matrix analysis underlies numerical methods and the author is an expert in this field, emphasis in the book is on methods and algorithms of matrix analysis. Also considered are function approximations, methods of solving nonlinear equations and minimization methods. Alongside classical methods, new results and approaches developed over the last few years are discussed – namely those on spectral distribution theory and what it gives for design and proof of modern preconditioning strategies for large-scale linear algebra problems. Advanced students and graduate students majoring in computer science, physics and mathematics will find this book helpful.

In this charming fable, Aristotle (Ari, for short) is a pooka — a mythical, invisible creature with a penchant for advising against dishonesty. Our hero, Edgar P. Benchley, has been able to see and hear Ari since childhood, and as he journeys through his professional life, constantly faced with challenging questions of good conduct, Ari helps remind him that nice guys can succeed . . . even in the world of business. Much needed in these times when confidence in corporations has eroded, A Business Tale offers readers the inspiration to make ethical choices even when it isn’t easy or immediately rewarding. Following the story, the book also contains real-life examples and a 10-step action plan for ethical behavior in the workplace. A Business Tale is an easy-to-read, unforgettable spoonful of sugar to help companies and individuals digest the sometimes tart lessons of practical morality in the workplace. About the Author: Marianne M. Jennings (Phoenix, AZ) served as director of the Joan and David Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at Arizona State University, and is professor of Legal and Ethical Studies in Business at Arizona State University. Her weekly columns have been syndicated around the country, and her work has appeared in publications including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

A Change Is Gonna’ Come $9.8 As churches continue to struggle to offer innovative worship celebrations, A Change is Gonna’ Come: The Transformation of a Traditional to a Contemporary Worship Celebration, presents a method of transition between the many worship wars fought in our churches. This work recognizes the role and importance of the worship celebration and its impact on the goal of further development of church members who gather weekly to worship Christ. This work is dedicated to assist pastors and musicians to move into a contemporary worship while minimizing the conflicts that sometimes are a result of change. I have used the history and metamorphosis of gospel music, charismatic attitudes, and situational preaching to realize that true worship is constantly evolving. The text reveals that worship evolution is not only necessary, it is also historical.For example:The book traces a basic history of gospel music and its shared influences with R and B and the use of the recording media.I have chronicled the Black Church because the history and the struggles of black people have allowed the church to worship in a flexible manner.Several musical examples are presented to indicate how traditions are absorbed by contemporary approaches. This book is a companion and guide for pastors, musicians and church leaders who wish to suppress the struggle of transforming a “lifeless” church into one with a vibrant and ecstatically worshipping church. Several objectives of this book include:How to transform a worship celebrationSmall church with a large church atmospherePresenting a spiritual transfusion The greatest atmosphere is when all of the peoplecome together in one joyful celebration of worship. My argument is that all worship is contemporary when it is introduced and becomes traditional when it becomes the accepted norm for the church. It is time to end these worship wars and allow all of God’s children to participate in

A Flutter on Earth $10.95 The writing of A Flutter on Earth has been a sometimes joyful, at times painful, but always illuminating excursion in to the self. Throughout the years, books of poetry have been literary companions that have deepened my appreciation for life. I value the poem as a truly unique art form. The immense power of its words seeks truth and values intimacy. The poem is a vehicle of meaning that shapes illusive thoughts and feelings in to a beautiful melody of form and content. For me, poetry is a large part of who I am and how I see the world. It is my hope that you will enjoy this book of poetry as my particular attempt to sculpt thoughts and feelings into poetic form.

A Handbook Of Uterine Therapeutics And Of Diseases Of Women (1881) $23.84 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:the uterus. If it is in its normal position, then the os uteri will rest Oh the end of the left index finger, the fundus will be distinctly felt by the other hand, in a Hue drawn from the os in the direction of the umbilicus. If it be anteverted the os will point backward, toward the hollow of the sacrum, while the fundus will be felt by the index finger just behind the symphysis pubis, pressing down upon and perhaps parallel with the anterior wall of the vagina. The pressure of the index finger on the anterior wall of the vagina is not enough to positively determine this point, so it is essential to make pressure at the same time with the other hand just above the pubic arch. It will thus be easy to measure the size and shape of the body of the womb, for it will be held firmly between the fingers of the two hands, and its outline and shape may be determined in thin, unirritable women, and when the womb is rather lower down than usual. This does not apply to women who are built on a large scale, with great width of pelvis, with the abdomen well coated with fat, and made bulky, if not pendulous, by repeated gestations. On the other hand, the womb is sometimes so high that, with long fingers, I can scarcely reach it, and am utterly unable to twist the cervix right and left. If, in such cases, the young practitioner attempt to circumscribe the womb according to the instructions that I have quoted, he will find it impossible to do so. Notwithstanding what has been said to the contrary, it is generally difficult to explore, in this way, the posterior aspect of the uterus. It may be attempted, by passing the left index finger to the posterior cul- de-sac, hooking it up behind the cervix uteri, raising this upward, drawing it forward, and at the same time pressing the outer hand

A History of Innovation: U.S. Army Adaptation in War and Peace: U.S. Army Adaptation in War and Peace $19 The U.S. Army has a long record of fielding innovations that not only have enhanced its effectiveness on the battlefield but also sometimes had an impact far beyond warfare. General Editor Jon T. Hoffman has brought together eleven authors who cover the gamut from the invention of the M1 Garand rifle between the world wars through the development of the National Training Center in the 1980s. While many books lay out theories about the process of innovation or detail the history of a large-scale modernization, the collection of fourteen essays in A History of Innovation: U.S. Army Adaptation in War and Peace fills a different niche in the literature. This work is neither a historical account of how the Army has adapted over time nor a theoretical look at models that purport to show how innovation is best achieved. Instead, it captures a representative slice of stories of soldiers and Army civilians who have demonstrated repeatedly that determination and a good idea often carry the day in peace and war. Despite the perception of bureaucratic inertia, the institution’s long history of benefiting from the inventiveness of its people indicates that it is an incubator of innovation after all.

A Hitler Youth in Poland $26.03 Between 1933 and 1945, millions of German children between the ages of seven and sixteen were taken from their homes and sent to Hitler Youth paramilitary camps to be toughened up and taught how to be German . Separated from their families and sent to far-away away places like Denmark, Latvia, Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and occupied Poland, these children often endured incredible abuse by the adults in charge. In this memoir, Jost Hermand, a distinguished German cultural critic and historian who spent much of his youth in five different camps, writes about his experiences during this period. After reviewing what others have published about the camps and explaining why previous romanticized views must be corrected, Hermand provides background into the creation and development of the camps. He then devotes one chapter apiece to each of the five different camps to which he was sent: Kirchenpopowo, San Remo, Gross Ottingen, Silesia, and Sulmierschutz. Each was quite different from the other, he writes, and almost every form of behavior existed at each place.The children did sometimes find, with certain adults, parental solicitude, belief in the inherent goodness of human beings, and naive idealism, but by and large they encountered fascistic indoctrination, dreary routine, conscious brutalization, and the worst sort of sadism. In the two final chapters, Hermand focuses on the postwar consequences of his camp experiences for his own development, and his return visit in 1991 to some of the sites. In these chapters, as in the rest of the book, Hermand carefully and skillfully combines his personal story with an analysis of the overall purpose of the camps. An intelligent and persuasive document, this book should be read by anyone interested in psychology, the history of everyday life, and in the story of Germany under Hitler.

A Journey To Switzerland, And Pedestrian Tours In That Country $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. PARIS TO LAUSANNE. April 15,—Passing by the Boulevards to the Faux- bourg St. Antoine, at the opposite end of Paris, we proceeded on our journey. At the distance of about a league we arrived at the village of Bercy, having a chateau and park attached to it. At the entrance of Charenton, which is about the same distance farther, is a singularly constructed red-brick house, with a remarkably high slate roof; it was built by Henri Quatre, for the beautiful Gabriel d’Estree. The road is always flat and uninteresting, till near Montgeron, five leagues from Paris, where is a beautiful view of some hills on the left, having a pretty village at their base, by which the river Yeres flows: this, crossing the road, soon after falls into the Seine. Looking back to Paris, the dome of the Invalides appears so conspicuous as to lead me to conceive its magnitude must be much more considerable than I had imagined. Montgeron is situated in quite a sporting country; we stopped to bait the horses at the Hotel de la Chape Royale; not a very princely one by the bye. A chasseur soon after came in, withsome half dozen pointers and spaniels; he had a horn round his neck. He said it was to call his dogs in, as they sometimes got a mile or two off in the forests: this did not say much in favour of French training. Leaving the Chape Royale we proceeded, for two leagues, through the forest of Senart; and, passing Lieusaint, eight leagues from Paris, and where there is a post-house, we reached Melun, eleven leagues and a half, in good time to look about us. This is the most clean and neat little town I have yet seen in France ; the Seine passes through it, and, dividing for a short time, forms an island on which several of the houses are situated. There is a large water-mill

A Knight of Another Sort: Prohibition Days and Charlie Birger, Second Edition $21.95 In 1913 Charlie Birger began his career as a bootlegger, supplying southern Illinois with whiskey and beer. He was charismatic, with an easygoing manner and a cavalier generosity that made him popular. The stuff of legend, he was part monster, part Robin Hood. In the early days, he would emerge from his restaurant/ saloon in tiny Ledford in Saline County with a cigar box full of coins and throw handfuls in the air for the children. Echoing the consensus on Birger, an anonymous gang member called him enigmatic , noting that he had a wonderful quality, a heart of gold. There in Harrisburg sometimes he’d support twelve or fifteen families, buy coal, groceries…. (But) he had cold eyes, a killer’s eyes. He would kill you for something somebody else would punch you in the nose for .Drawing from the colorful cast of the living, the dead, and the soon-to-be-dead — a state shared by many associated with Birger and his enemies, the Shelton gang — DeNeal re-creates Prohibition-era southern Illinois. He depicts the fatal shootout between S. Glenn Young and Ora Thomas, the battle on the Herrin Masonic Temple lawn in which six were slain and the Ku Klux Klan crushed, and the wounding of Williamson County state’s attorney Arlie O. Boswell. As the gang wars escalated and the roster of corpses lengthened, the gangsters embraced technology. The Sheltons bombed Birger’s roadhouse, Shady Rest, from a single-engine airplane. Both Birger and the Sheltons used armored vehicles to intimidate their enemies, and the chatter of machine gun fire grew common.The gang wars ended with massive arrests, trials, and convictions of gangsters who once had seemed invincible. Charlie Birger was convicted of themurder of West City mayor Joe Adams and sentenced to death. On April 19, 1928, he stood on the gallows looking down on the large crowd that had come to see him die. It’s a beautiful world , Birger said softly as he prepared to leave it.
