Did the dog run away? . . Transmit wirelessly and he'll come running back

-------------------

William Franzin, a young engineer from Winnipeg won huge prizes after participating in a competition for pet products where he was the star of the event. William tells about his invention: a radio receiver worn on the dog's collar, the idea of ​​which was born a few years ago when the new puppy, who by now had grown up and was a respectable and experienced dog, used to run away from the yard and did not respond properly and preferably to the owner's calls to return home immediately, including loud search efforts that spread throughout the neighborhood and the surrounding area .

William attached to the dog's collar a small radio receiver with a sound amplifier that was used to broadcast "Come home!" The invention proved itself and garnered prizes with a total value of twenty-five thousand dollars. Franzin says that the use of a transmitter-receiver allows you to call the dog in a relaxed, quiet, friendly and inviting voice, instead of loud calls and tantrums. Experts in dog behavior say that the pet recognizes not only voices but also the level of tension, or anger as they arise in the voice calling them and tend to "consider their steps" and even avoid repeatedly, in order to avoid the owner's manifestations of anger and punishment.

From now on it will be possible to use military contact language for example. . . . "One Mookie here Kadkad, immediately return to the private pens - Ruth Sof"

The city employees claim that the tension is all to blame

---------------

According to data from the municipality of Winnipeg, in Western Canada, it seems that recently the number of "permitted sick days for city employees according to the labor agreement and the provincial law" has increased. The data shows that on average, city employees got sick, and stayed at home with an average of eight days per employee. The damage caused to the mechanism and to the taxpayers is about one and a half million dollars "sickness payment" every year. There are also indirect expenses related to the hiring of temporary workers "and a domino process" of increasing pressure on those who did not get sick and are forced to take the place of their friends.

As with any statistical description, this is an average and not a focus on this or that patient or those who were absent from their work.

The average figures include, for example, workers in construction departments and services provided outside the offices, workers who stay at home with a note from the doctor for an annual average of up to nine days a year when even one additional sick day strains the budget.

While the city officials, who are discussing the situation, are trying to reach agreements with the workers' committee, in an attempt to reduce the phenomenon, the city employees say that the increase in tension in Canadian society in general and the pressure of the public, which shows less patience than in the recent past, are the main reason for the increase in sick days that are fully utilized according to the signed agreements between the municipality and the trade unions.

Doctors who were asked their opinion about what is happening, said that they treat each patient individually and emphasized that maintaining a municipal budget, at the expense of the patients, does not belong to their medical duties.

A similar picture of municipal employees who are sick at a high annual average is reported by most North American cities and is especially evident on days of particularly uncomfortable, cold or stormy weather, where these and other employees decide to take advantage of their sick days and report illness as if it were vacation according to an agreement and even add their own days.

Sub-surveys were conducted in several cities, with unsurprising results, showing that water and sewer pipe workers, . Those forced to deal with hazards even in severe weather conditions and road repair teams are at the top of the list. In various cities, it is reported about the workers of the animal control departments, or in less noble words, the "dog hunters" as having a low mental stress threshold, which causes an increase in the total number of sick days. in this field also stand out. . . The snake and alligator hunters of Florida and the states south of the Mississippi River and Tennessee. On the list are clerks and officials of "contact with the public" departments who are often looking for ways to stay at home as much as possible and not to confront the public.

An 80-year-old Japanese woman was arrested after urinating on her neighbor's door

——————————————————————————————————————————————–

The Osaka police received a complaint from a local resident "about an acidic substance that was sprayed on the windows of his house" The man said that in recent months there have been several cases in which a bad, acidic and damp smell wafted from the windows and doors.

Shortly afterwards, the XNUMX-year-old Shinko Atnishkai, the resident of the house next door, was arrested after eyewitnesses said they saw the old woman "walking the street at night late and a cup in her hand"

The woman was called in for questioning and admitted that she had urinated on the neighbor's house at least six times. , including the front door handle and the addition who does not regret her actions.

Shinko told investigators that the relationship between her and her neighbors soured about ten years ago, after an argument about repairing a common path. Shinko added, "I tried to make the neighbors' lives miserable with intentional noise, I turned on a television receiver at high power, I turned on the radio with songs in English, I knocked with a hammer on the walls of the house and even bought an electric drill to make noise and harass the rascals. . . . After the efforts to get them to change apartments failed, I switched to using urine."

The lawsuit in Osaka demands that the owner of the urine cup be given a "deterrent punishment" and noted that a court in another district handled a similar case and sent to prison a urine sprayer, who used to use urine "donated" by her husband and the liquid splashed from the window of her apartment on the second floor of an apartment building. The urine weapon was used to drive away loud children and young people who disturbed her rest, until they realized that the spit coming from the window of the angry tenant was not water but urine.

The Inuit demand an explanation for the massacre of sled dogs

-------------------------

One of Canada's Inuit (Eskimo) organizations is demanding explanations for the massacre of thousands of sled dogs that took place between 1950 and 1970. The dogs were shot by officers of the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP" which is the federal police, which is responsible, among other things, for law enforcement in the Arctic Circle areas and policing in the peripheral areas.

The Inuit leaders say they have new material in their hands, which proves that the slaughter of the sled dogs was intended to harm the mobility of the Inuit families, also known as the "winter nomads" in order to force them to gather at points designated by the government as permanent settlements and thus facilitate government and police supervision. In the hands of an investigative committee examining the dog affair, about twenty thousand pages of documents, some of which were used as background research for a documentary film dealing with the extermination of the dogs and the forcing of the Inuit to change their ways of life called "The Last Howl"

According to the estimate of one Inuit spokesperson, the federal police are responsible for "slaughtering more than twenty thousand dogs" the police deny "slaughter for the convenience of the government" and a senior spokesperson in Ottawa claimed that many dogs "were destroyed due to fear of diseases and the spread of rabies" today the use of sled dogs is a common winter sport, or action Educational for the preservation of tradition. Since the mid-XNUMXs, the Inuit have switched to using motorized snow sleds, snowmobiles and ATVs.

Saudi justice - the rapist was punished by whippings

-------------------------------

A young woman from Western Saudi Arabia, who was a victim of gang rape, received the penalty of 90 whippings with a khizran (bamboo) and was forced to divorce her husband. The court, which expressed "deep horror" at the act of gang rape, was equally shocked by the fact that the young, married woman was traveling in the company of a foreign man in the car.

Seven rapists, including the owner of the car who enticed the woman to drive with him instead of walking and drove to the field where his friends were waiting, abused the woman for a long time and attacked her one after the other. The rapists warned their victim not to tell anyone about her ordeal and were convinced that the woman would not dare to tell her husband what had happened to her. Contrary to the assessment of the abusers, that the woman would choose to remain silent, she revealed to her family about the sexual assault and complained to the police.

 The men were punished with prison terms between one and five years and between 50 and 1000 whippings. In cases of heavy whipping punishment, the Saudi court shows mercy and orders the punishment to be divided "in reasonable portions" all according to the decision of the doctor who oversees that the whipped does not lose a large amount of blood, or die while serving the sentence. In many cases, especially severe whipping punishments were divided into "time segments", some of which were carried out after the offender was released from prison. Release subject to flogging is possible only if the judge's family undertakes that the accused will appear on time to receive the allotted portion.

Chromosome testing for puppies prevented a neighborhood fight

——————————————————————————————————————

A university institute in Brazil prevented a clan battle that threatened peace in one of the country's settlements, where dog owners claimed their pet was breeding. . . kittens

Crowds from near and far came to see "the miracle" as well as "the father" a big black and heavy cat, who posed for pictures next to the mother in the company of the "descendants"

 The local church checked whether this was not an act of the devil, or perhaps a hint of a miracle, while skeptics defined the case from the beginning as a "fraudulent phenomenon" at the head of those who claim that the exhibitors of the dog with a "puppy" are nothing but crooks, there are members of a rival family who mockingly rejected a "professional opinion" given by a well-known sorcerer who examined the Parsha, he consulted Shadi-Shaul and stated that this is a known phenomenon in the circles of sorcerers and conjurers.

 The issue, which hit the headlines, sparked a debate - idiots, in which those who knew how to tell about similar cases, or a cat giving birth to puppies and even super urban legends participated. . . Women who gave birth to pigs. The police chief in the southern slum, Passo-Fundo, who feared that dealing with a dog and her puppies would lead to violence, brought the hawks together with a biology professor and a veterinary expert who agreed to take blood samples from the puppies "and the mother" to prove that a dog and a cat have a different number of chromosomes and therefore there is no chance that a cat will breed a dog or vice versa.

India's condoms are too big. . . .

————————————————————————————————————————

The Indian Council of Medical Research ICMR published research data on the use of contraceptives in the country considered "the number one AIDS country" The study, which lasted two years, revealed what many Indians call a "national shame" related to the oversized sizes of the condoms marketed in the subcontinent, or. . . The average Indian consumer's penis is too short. Dr. Chander Puri, one of the heads of the council, was quoted in the world's most widely used English daily INDIA-TIMES and said that length tests done on 1400 men show that 60% of those tested in the economic capital Mumbai "are short at a rate of 2. 4 cm from the world standard set for condoms" The study shocked Indian men aged 19-50 even more when it turned out that 30% of the subjects were "5 cm short"

The council says immediate changes should be made to the length of condoms so that Indian men can use them safely. Dr. Puri also said that Indian men are ashamed to ask for condoms that are distributed in dense population concentrations, or to ask for a suitable pack from the pharmacist or the shopkeeper.

 The council's proposal is to establish an appropriate Indian standard and then introduce throughout the country "condoms" of the type common in Western countries. The announcement about the height problem pleased commentators in Pakistan, India's arch-rival, where religious extremists claim "that the Pakistani male has no height problems" what's more, they oppose the use of contraceptives which, according to the extremists, is a measure against the principles of Islam.

The Japanese was bitten in the Philippines - died in Yokama

----------------

A Japanese businessman from Yokahama, who lived in the Philippines and was known as an animal lover, used to feed homeless and hungry dogs living in cities and on their outskirts. The sixty-year-old man's friends warned him against contact with unvaccinated dogs, but the man declared more than once, "The dogs know me as a friend" and did not stop his habit of handing out leftover food to the dogs. Last August, while feeding a group of dogs, the good Japanese tried to pet a dog's head and it bit his wrist. A short time later the man returned to Yokama and within a short time began to complain of the flu, marked by headaches and difficulty breathing.

The businessman believed "that the flu will go away with or without a doctor's help" until during October, after the flu symptoms did not go away, he finally arrived at the emergency room. The doctors, who initially diagnosed "inflammation of the respiratory tract" were amazed when the result of the blood tests indicated "hydrophobia/fear of water" which is the medical scientific name of rabies syndrome, which requires immediate immunotherapy to block the development of the virus to a point of no return. The origin of the name "hydrophobia" was in the Middle Ages, when rabies patients were tied to pillars and ran wild in terror when they were offered water.

Over time, it became clear that fear of the sight of water, or the sound of splashing and dripping, comes at the last stage of the disease, when it is impossible to turn the wheel back and cure the patient.

At the hospital, they tried to relieve the dog lover by means of prolonged anesthesia, during which the rabies virus reached its "peak of violence" and the patient died. The case is the second diagnosed this year in Japan. Another citizen, who was probably bitten by a bat, also contracted rabies and died at the beginning of last November.

"The Sherman of Overdsdale" passed away in California

-------------------------------

Rosalyn Bradford, who in the nineties was defined as the "heaviest woman in the world" died in California with "two records" to her credit, one: the heaviest woman in the world, with a record weight of 1050 pounds, close to 500 kg and the other: the record for the most crushing diet, during which she lost 728 of her weight.

Rosalyn was called by the emergency services "The Sherman of Overdsdale" a description that illustrated her enormous dimensions and was born while firefighters and paramedics had to break down a wall facing from her bedroom to the street, so that it would be possible to rescue her with a crane and transport her to the hospital.

Roslin's international publicity did not make her life any easier after many, especially television crews and reporters, asked to see with their own eyes who was defined, among other things, as "a mountain of meat - fat falls - Sherman tank - a human whale - King Kong's wife and more" insulting nicknames. Rosalyn's acquaintances said that she was a kind-hearted woman who simply "ate and ate and ate again" all this with the help of a mother who made sure to provide her daughter with cakes and other foods, all of which are high in calories.

Canada's serial murder "record" trial has begun

-------------------------------------------

In a quiet, almost silent voice, Robert "Willie" Picton responded to the charge of murdering six women and said "I do not admit guilt." The 56-year-old man, who owned a large pig farm, is accused of at least twenty-six murders, but Judge Game's Williams, from the court The District of British Columbia decided to split the indictment into several trials, with the first group of murdered women opening what may turn out to be one of the most amazing trials in Canadian history.

Police say the owner of the piggery kidnapped and murdered female piglets he collected from the streets of East Vancouver and then dumped their corpses as food for the herd of pigs. The affair was exposed as early as 2002 immediately after Picton's arrest, but the court imposed a publication ban to prevent a sensational media campaign, of the type practiced in the neighboring United States.

The few details that were provided immediately after Picton's arrest described a series of atrocities and told of police teams that began to search, turn over and crumble every block of land and dig in the runny mud of the piggery area, prying, vacuuming and sifting, to discover remains of bones, hair, personal belongings and other signs that testified to the terrible fate of the murdered women.

The work of scanning and searching for evidence in the Hamzaria area continues to this day and a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice of British Columbia said that the government invested no less than 66 million dollars in the scanning and evidence collection processes.

Journalists who covered preliminary hearings in the murder cases reacted with shock and some of them needed counseling and psychological relief. The extent of the horror in Picton's private hell will probably become clear on January 9 after the opening of the hearings in the first six cases. The publicity blackout helped relatively quickly select a jury from a pool of six hundred citizens, who, according to the media and prosecution and defense experts alike, would also need mental support.

One of the terrible phenomena of the affair was the warning of the district health ministry, which immediately after Picton's arrest addressed his neighbors and acquaintances who were buyers of pork from his farm that they should refrain from using the meat for fear of containing human flesh.

From the little that has been allowed to be published so far, it appears that Picton and his brothers used to have loud parties in the barn when Picton calls the pigs

"PIGGY PALACE / the place of Piggy" and explains to neighbors and acquaintances that the many parties attended are meant to collect donations for charities. The police say that the frequent parties were nothing more than rock music parties heavy with alcohol and drugs in the company of revelers who came from the sidewalks of East Vancouver and some ended up in the pigs' jaws.

Crime reporters in the Canadian press say that even if the prosecution is content with filing charges for the murder of twenty-six "only" prostitutes, there is no doubt that Picton is "the record of Canada's serial killers" and without a doubt one of the most brutal that has been exposed in recent years.
