The Norwegian Elkhound dates back to the stone age. Through the study of fossils from that time it can be determined that the same basic dog that we know today as the Elkhound existed.

This breed has such purity of ancestry that it can be considered as one of the oldest dogs. The Norwegian word for dog, elghund, actually means “moose dog”, however, Elkhound is the translation that stuck. Hound is probably not an appropriate term for the dog that does not have any bloodhound in its genetic makeup. However, despite this, the dog was taken to the American Kennel Club in the Hound group. Devotees of the breed find that having the dog in this class or group can be a disadvantage, as it bears little resemblance to the dogs normally entered as “hounds”.

There are three varieties of the Norwegian Elkhound, all three are close cousins ​​and have remained unchanged over the centuries. The Gray Elkhound is the most familiar, then there is the Black (which is a slightly smaller variety) and the Swedish or Jamthound.

Today the Elkhound is still used in northern countries to track and follow wild animals, including moose, moose, deer, lynx, and wolves. Many pet owners of this breed have no idea that it is, in fact, a hunting dog with unique versatility, as it howls on the lead, trails silently behind the animal, or attacks by dodging and feinting to take down. to the animal. Those who hunt with this dog will insist that it can pick up the scent of elk or moose from up to three miles away. It is also used in small game hunting because moose and elk are not as abundant as they once were and of course there are now set hunting seasons for these animals. The Norwegian Elkhound is generally a versatile farm dog, going after all kinds of marauding predators and also becoming useful as a herding dog for livestock. The Norwegian Elkhound is a medium-sized dog with a dense coat. The color is solid gray in different shades, with black tips at the tips of the hairs. There is usually a typical whiter band of hair over the shoulders and around the eyes in a spectacled appearance. Also the breeches of the hind legs and the underside of the strongly curled tail are in lighter shades. In reality, the markings of the breed are similar to those of the Keeshond. However, the Keeshond has a much longer coat. Today’s Norwegian Elkhounds are popular as family pets in most parts of the world and are of course shown at dog shows.

One of the most well-known judges and breeders, Patricia Hastings, made the Norwegian Elkhound famous on show rings in the United States and also at Crufts. She bred and bred this breed for many years and led several of her dogs to coveted Best of Breed and even Best in show victories at Westminster, later becoming a judge of great skill. Her positive influence on the breed has undoubtedly increased the number of these dogs now found as family pets. However, the dog is not a dog that is for everyone. He is a dog that must have a purpose and simply lying around the house is not part of his nature. Any dog ​​that has strong working or hunting instincts can quickly become bored and quite destructive if the working nature of the breed is not channeled and encouraged.

In general terms, the term “shared office space” refers to a furnished and fully equipped office space that is ready for a quick installation for a business person who does not want to work at home or in a branch office. They are also called executive suites and business centers. The office will provide internet and telephone services, and mail services. When you use a rental location, you can provide a business person with a professional facility at a lower monthly rent than traditional office rentals.

Many times when such an office is rented, mail services, receptionist, business machines such as fax and copiers, and office furniture are included. There are even some that will offer services such as conference room accessibility and publishing or delivery services, in addition to other services. Leases are typically six to twelve months. Some may even offer a three-month rental agreement. Shared office space could also be when you lease a small space from a business or company that has more office space than you need. This is comparable to subletting and with this type of shared office, the company or individual could rent a group of offices within another company’s larger space or just a desk space. With this arrangement, you would share kitchen areas, conference rooms, and other facilities within the company or business.

Telecommuters can use an office type when they enter the office to get some work done. During the time they are there to work, the computer, desk and phone are theirs, but at other times these are all used by others in the office or company. This is a good situation for a free type of business. For example, when a healthcare professional from a different field shares space with another medical professional, one of the medical professionals will work that many days of the week and the other the other days. With this type of arrangement, the one who rents the shared office space for the days that the other medical professional is not working there, will not benefit from any services such as secretarial services. This type of shared office space can work for many different professional services.

Some of the advantages of shared office space can include quick occupancy, less need for support staff like secretaries, and all-inclusive monthly costs. These are the kind of arrangements that are especially attractive to start-ups and small business owners. With shared office space there are no big expenses for furniture and equipment.

“A legacy of money cannot replace a legacy of dignity”

If there were advanced races in the galaxy…even by the standards of Western writers, at some point…they would destroy themselves, if technological advancement far outstrips their own development and spiritual cultivation.

The primacy of spirituality over technology is the key to understanding how Africa achieved what it did.

Knowledge resides in the womb of a rejected people and of a (their) way of life.

Thus, Africa reminds us: “Man, know yourself!”

The first successful flight in history is told with a mix of fiction and true history, science and fantasy in an adventure full of life. “On the Wings of the Wind: The Untold Story of History’s First Flight” by Richard Kigel is brilliantly rendered in pencil and paper. A masterful tale of a collaboration of ingenuity and perseverance: a triumph of the true human spirit represented by the actions of an African American slave and ancestor of the fourth African American female astronaut. Josiah Brantley is the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Dr. Sharon Brantley, a NASA scientist and astronaut.

Josiah Brantley, a slave, flew to freedom from Virginia to Pennsylvania during the 18th century. We have been told many things about the past, most of which have turned out to be untrue…just old lies coming out over and over again. Do you remember the Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville? Forget it…! The controlling factions of American and European society want us to believe that everything they tell us is true: Black Africans did nothing in this world to accept making more Black Africans. When the truth has been revealed, how man-woman and civilization are deeply and ultimately rooted in and from Africa.

Ruth’s Story: “Your Name Is Renée” by Stacy Cretzmeyer tells of a town that was subjected to the living conditions, livelihoods, and horrific experiences of a group of ignored human beings. The Nazis were not the only group of anti-Semites. Anti-Semitism (also spelled antisemitism or antisemitism) is a prejudice or hostility towards Jews, often rooted in hatred of their ethnicity, culture, and/or religion. In its extreme form, it “attributes to the Jews an exceptional position among all other civilizations, defames them as an inferior group, and denies that they are part of the nation(s)” in which they reside. A person who practices anti-Semitism is called an “anti-Semite”. The Jewish people, like American black slaves, were put to the knife: survive and persevere.

America and the world have always been rescued, saved, and resurrected by people of color. One of the many world wars was saved/rescued by African-Americans in a historic rendition of “Miracle at St. Anna” by Mr. James McBride. Another of his works is a tribute to his mother (and family)-“The color of water”.

Manipulative, greedy, domineering, demonizing and fearful groups of people would keep us all in the dark forever if they could, hating, killing and destroying each other, while clandestinely, convincingly and continually plotting to control lives and futures. of others. you and me… and the lives of our children. They would encourage the suppression of the truth by insisting on their truth(s)…it’s in the paper so it must be true! It has been said, “as a child I did childish things… I thought and acted like a child – when I became an adult I left childish things… I thought and acted like an adult.

“It’s not the things you know…it’s the things you know that just aren’t so.”

If you have even a shred of doubt about your true heritage and the heritage of humanity: black, white, Latino, etc. – find out for yourself! Henry “Box” Brown, with the help of Brother William Still and others, made the decision to take the journey to freedom by mailing himself to Philadelphia. We have all heard of Sister Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. I have had the privilege of revisiting and retelling many of these old stories as a docent at one of the stops in Germantown-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Johnson House at Germantown Avenue and Washington Lane, one of the many stops on the Underground Railroad.

“The Black Book” by Middleton Harris compiles a journey through black America…”Between my top and bottom, my right and my left, I hold what I have seen and what I have thought. I am everything I have hated: work without harvest, death without honor, life without land or law”.

“I was there when the angel expelled the ancestor. I was there when the waters consumed the mountains.”

“We don’t know that things can be done, that dreams can be fulfilled, that great achievements can be made, until someone takes the first step and shows the way.”

Take a look at the origin of humanity and the mother of civilization – ancestors, four million years of humanity and the civilizations of the world – the Hebrew civilization… and then tell me who was the first to fly.

Until next time…

With all the things we have to remember these days, why trust something important to your memory alone? To help organize your life and keep stress to a minimum, always carry a pen and paper with you to jot down important items you need to do or ideas you don’t want to forget. Of course, there are gadgets on the market that will help you with this too.

For those things you need to remember on a regular basis, you may want to generate a checklist and make copies of it to keep on hand. What lists can you think of to make your life work better? Here are several suggestions to get you started.

One of my favorites is a packing checklist to use when going out for the night. Do you not take the same basic necessities plus other appropriate items each time? Make a list of those items with extra room to fill in items that vary with each trip. Use a Word document or spreadsheet and make multiple copies to use over the course of several months. It is very easy to make changes, and you will not be so stressed when you go on vacation or business trip.

Examples of other types of lists and reminders include:

  • Birthday lists and gift ideas for friends and family.
  • A wish list of items you want to buy for yourself
  • Items you have loaned to people and things you have borrowed
  • Your personal goals and dreams.
  • Questions to ask when shopping for a major purchase
  • weekly shopping list
  • A short list of morning routine reminders to review before you leave home

There are also online to-do list managers. Some of them have templates that make it easy to build a list. Finding the right tool to keep track of your to-do list is very personal. It’s like “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”

Below is a list of popular to-do list managers. Some of them offer scheduling options, great apps, notifications, and reminders. Take a look at them and see if there is one that works for you. They are listed in no particular order of popularity.

All businesses face significant cash flow challenges at some point, which may require borrowing funds to maintain business operations. For new businesses, financial difficulties can knock at the door early on.

Fortunately, small businesses that are struggling to fund all of their projects have several avenues they can turn to for support. Finding a lender isn’t as tedious as it used to be, and the options are more numerous today. There are bank loans and commercial service providers. Some loan packages are offered by government agencies, which attract many borrowers as they come with collateral that other lenders cannot provide. Loans come in all shapes and sizes, and some are tailored to the specific needs of the lender. The availability of more than one option is an indicator that business owners should first assess their needs to ensure that a specific type of loan is the best resource given their current situation.

Short term versus long term

The two basic types of loans available to small business owners are long-term loans and short-term loans. Long-established commercial lenders often offer long-term loans that carry low interest rates. The amount of money is large enough to cover large expenses, such as additional capital needed for business acquisitions and related activities. Small businesses looking for working capital can approach these lenders and usually get approved if they have a great business plan.

Meanwhile, short-term loans are usually issued by credit unions and banking institutions. While a long-term loan must be paid monthly, short-term loans are paid at the end of the contract term. The interest rate is usually higher compared to short term loans. The retailer looking for additional financing for a short project that is expected to provide large profits in a short period of time can greatly benefit from this type of loan.

alternative options

Aside from conventional financing sources, borrowers can choose to take advantage of alternative loan offers, such as those offered by online merchants. Applying for a business loan is now quite convenient as every step of the process can be done online. These offers are also faster to process. It is possible to access capital without the difficulty of traditional procedures that require reams of paperwork. Alternative financing options work best to meet the needs of an expansion or maintain operations when cash is tight.

Small businesses that are in the early stages of operation often struggle to meet the stringent requirements. Alternative lending methods are relatively more flexible, including cash advances, crowdfunding, and peer-to-peer lending, among others. For small businesses, it is often easier and faster to obtain financing using alternative means. Many business owners turn to alternative financing methods, especially when they have an urgent need for money. There are situations where the time frame is critical because the availability of funds determines whether or not the daily operations of the company can continue.

It is not that difficult even for new businesses to get approved for a loan if they have a good credit score and positive cash flow as well.

In this post, we’ll look at some of the top reasons, things to consider for bringing a modular kitchen into your new and existing homes.

They are prefabricated:

While these modular kitchens are designed to your custom requirements and to exact specifications, they are manufactured in factories. These kitchens come in many different units, which will then be transported to your homes, where they will be assembled.

You can design these kitchens according to your specifications, in terms of colors and tones, and materials to be used. Therefore, it is very important that you take the proper measurements and understand the dimensions of your kitchen space, so that you can design the modular units accordingly. Also, make sure your choices perfectly match the theme of your kitchen and home interior.

Premium materials and workmanship:

Modular kitchen design companies will have in-house experienced designers, fabricators and technicians. They work in coordination with each other to develop the design concepts, according to the specific requirements of their clients. They provide a wide range of options on the materials to be used, so that their clients get the designs according to their budgets.

Modular kitchens allow quick installation:

Another big reason many homeowners prefer modular kitchens is because the installation process is quick. Once all the pieces of the modular kitchen have been transported to the homes, the technicians will assemble them and prepare them for functional use.

If you get the kitchen project designed in your home, then you will need to have someone to watch over the works, until the project is completed. Not only will you spend more time building your kitchen, but it will also disrupt your daily activities.

On the other hand, the installation of these kitchens can be done at your convenience. Therefore, it is an ideal option for homeowners, who are busy with their professional and personal commitments.

Modular kitchens are economical:

Since modular kitchen designs can be customized to specific requirements and measurements, you have the option to choose materials based on your budgets. It definitely works out much cheaper and convenient than doing home kitchen construction projects.

If you are buying a new home or planning to redesign your existing kitchens, surely you should check out some of the new kitchen design concepts.

An estimate is the first step for a house painter towards clear communication with their client about the painting project. Paint work comes in different sizes and shapes. The same goes for paint estimates. Estimates may vary in style depending on the project. A well-written quote can help you win the job and help the client clearly understand the estimate on the scope of a house painting project. Here are some of the things a house painter may want to consider when giving an estimate.

visited website

A good house painter prefers and visits the site before beginning his evaluation. There may be factors that increase the price, such as the poor condition of the walls. You will need more paint if you cover the dark walls. Various decorative walls and different colors will take more time. You can ask the customer if they just want to paint the walls or the ceiling and doors. Also, the house painter will ask customers if they will provide the paint unless they need a specific brand and if the colors should be mixed by size. Asking these questions ahead of time helps them be more precise about estimating costs. If you are new to hiring a house painter, you can ask your family and friends for good recommendations.

Type and amount of paint

The price of paint can range from $20 to $80 per gallon, depending on the brand and its quality. Contractors typically pay up to $45 per gallon, depending on paint supply. The house painter needs some materials for the external coating work, such as primer, masking tape, sticky paper, masking tape, protective plastic, etc. The amounts of materials depend largely on the amount of preparation required. More prep means more caulking and more primer. It also depends on the number of existing windows and the amount of roof and brick if you’re doing outdoor work: mostly that means more paper and plastic masking.

the labor required

It can be difficult to estimate the work because the elements are numerous. Several coats of paint are needed; there may be trees on the way, windows are difficult to paint, such as compact windows, or it is difficult to place ladders to paint the ceiling or ladders and many other things like these. A house painter will consider the labor required to perform a certain task while giving you a quote for the painting project. He knows the skills and experience required to perform a specific house painting task.

A professional house painter knows all about safety. There are common accidents that can cause injuries during a painting project. Hiring a professional painter will keep you away from these potential problems and you will get good results in a reasonable amount. Paints from experienced and professional contractors may not offer the same price as their counterparts, but this ensures that they will offer high-quality paint that will last for years.

Dogs bite. Scottish terriers bite. It is without a doubt one of the worst behavior problems a dog can have.

The stories that owners tell about Scottish terriers biting show so many different situations that an encyclopedia could easily be written about.

There was the owner of a Scotsman whose shoes, hands and ankles were bitten every time he tried to leave for work. Another Scotsman just nibbled on a little boy who was playing with a ball for no apparent reason. Then there is this mischievous little guy who started acting aggressive to the point of biting whenever his owner tried to correct bad behavior. Other energetic Scottish terriers run around the house at high speed and snap at anyone who makes a move to stop them.

But why do they bite?

Good question. The first step in controlling your Scottish terrier’s biting habit is to understand the reasons why he started biting and continues to bite.

As with chewing, biting in young puppies can be related to the teething period. Biting is also part of their normal play behavior, often when they are with their mother.

As hard as it may seem to believe, your Scottie may snap or nip to get your attention. And she’ll keep doing it if she’s successful… Adult Scots can bite when they get too excited or bite when threatened. Scottish terriers can be possessive of their toys and food, and biting is their way of defending themselves against intruders.

Biting can also be a reaction to pain caused to them, such as if someone accidentally stepped on their paw. Other Scots develop suspicious or aggressive behavior towards strangers or visitors and this is when biting may occur for no specific reason.

Of course, your Scotsman’s acerbic clothing can have negative effects on you and your relationship. You can’t leave it outside or take it to crowded public places for fear of it biting someone, not to mention the problems it might have if it happens accidentally.

Your Scottish terrier doesn’t automatically know what’s acceptable and what’s not, so set limits by correcting him when he misbehaves. An aggressive habit such as biting should be attended to immediately.

So what can you do to effectively control your Scottish terrier’s biting habit?

1. First of all, show him your disapproval. with a strong, incisive command “no” or “don’t bite.” Then leave him alone and don’t look at him or talk to him.

two. If he bites while playing, give him a “don’t bite” command and stop playing immediately.

3. Use a spray bottle of water or make noise by shaking a can of coins or marbles along with a firm “don’t bite” command. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until he finally stops biting.

If the biting habit persists, consider getting professional help. Obedience training classes can go a long way in correcting most of your Scottish terrier’s behavioral problems.
