Lab Rats Characters as Dog Breeds

Adam: Labrador Retriever or Great Dane. He has the temperament of a Labrador with the size of a Dane.

Bree: Border Collie or Belgian Malinois. I considered a racing breed too but a Collie or Mal would fit her better because they’re a hyper working breed that want to be on the go all the time, they also tend to be pretty independent in their work.

Chase: Poodle, German Shepherd or Siberian Husky. This was a hard one as he has a lot of different qualities. These are some of the smartest breeds on the planet. The husky is an interesting one for Chase because the Husky is labelled as the most cat like out of all breeds and as we know, Chase is not a fan of dogs.

Leo: Doberman. Intelligent, obedient, loyal, brave, energetic. All the qualities I love about Leo that he shares with this breed. Dobes are also pretty goofy. Very playful and funny but definitely capable of murder if needed. Just like our sweetie Leo.

Mr Davenport: Poodle, Bichon Frisé or Chihuahua. Bro is a little b!tch. That’s my only reasoning.

Douglas: he would be a mutt. He shares a lot of different qualities. A good, classic shelter mutt that everyone loves with a brilliant temperament considering what he went through.

Tasha: Dachshund. Don’t come for me for this, I just think she gives off dachshund vibes. She’s funny, playful and loyal.

Eddie: he’s the most annoying little dog you will meet in the park. Yaps at everything it walks past and the owners think it’s funny. Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu. Or he is a cocker poo that the owners think is a purebred. (Sorry, I have just had horrible encounters with these types of dog owners)

Lmk if you want any more of this. I could do the EF members if you want more.

Loyal Companions

When it comes to being a loyal companion, these puppies are unbeatable. They love the company of their humans and are the happiest right by your side. Whether cuddling on the bed or following you around as you take care of your chores, they want to be right where you are. Whether you love lounging at home or going out on an exciting adventure, these pups will be right beside you at every turn.

Their friendly nature makes them great family dogs, making them a great fit for busy households.

來自巴西的結他手 Badi Assad

   來自巴西的 Badi Assad 是世界上最具創意、熱情和才華的演奏家之一，若果把她標籤為結他演奏家，可能把她的演藝生命狹窄了，Badi Assad 通過流行、爵士和民族等等風格溶合，超越了傳統巴西風格音樂，因此，這位非凡的歌手、吉他手和敲擊樂手成功地建立了一種令人興奮的音樂風格，所以 Badi Assad 的音樂風格仍不能分類。

   為甚麼 Badi Assad 如此獨特，她渴望追求其他演奏家沒有做過的音樂實驗，Badi Assad 揉合了非凡的結他天賦、獨特的敲擊樂、美麗動人的歌聲、還有結合帶有節奏的肢體動作，創造出令人耳目一新的新聲音， 並讓觀眾直接體驗，事實上看 Badi Assad 的表演就像目睹一種精神現象，她在台上所展示一切非凡的表現，實在是相當令人難以置信的。    作為一個歌手，Badi Assad 充滿活力，她回應著內心的熱情，還帶有巧妙的創造力。 作為結他手，她以全新精湛技術溶合獨特的創新手法，激發了全世界的觀眾和評論家，重新審視了對該樂器的看法和定義，透過這一切，Badi Assad 的冒險精神和蓬勃的個性已經成為她音樂的一個組成部分。

   Badi Assad 出生於《São João da Boa Vista, São Paulo》巴西聖保羅,聖若昂達博阿維斯塔的小城市。 她早年在《Rio de Janeiro》里約熱內盧度過了一個時期，在那時，家裡的兄弟和 Sérgio 和 Odair 正是著名的古典結他手，而且當時正嶄露頭角。    Sérgio 和 Odair 兩兄弟的音樂發展對 Badi Assad 也有一定的影響力，在 Badi Assad 八歲時，她母親開始讓她學習鋼琴，但是她們家裡只能購買一部小孩子玩的 Yamaha 電子琴，然而 Badi Assad 卻繼續練習，直到她的手長大了超出了鍵盤。在14歲那年，在她的父親教導下，Badi Assad 開始認真學習結他。那一年中，她在里約熱內盧中的《Concurso Jovens Instrumentistas for Young Musicians》比賽贏得了第一個冠軍。 第一張專輯《Dançados Tons》    1987年，年輕僅只有17歲的 Badi Assad 被評為《Best Brazilian Guitarist of the International Villa Lobos Festival》的美譽。一年之後，Badi Assad 錄製了她的第一張專輯《Dançados Tons》，但僅在巴西國內發行。之後，Mulheres de Hollanda 劇作徵召演出歌手，Badi Assad 從二百名女性中，被選中為兩名演出歌手中的其中一位，而 Mulheres de Hollanda 內的曲目，都是由戲劇大學的巴西著名作曲家 Chico Buarque 所作。這場表演每週演出五天，且持續超過一年，對於 Badi Assad 的演出都獲得了熱烈和很高的評價。    Badi Assad 為試圖拓展她的音樂領域開始作進一步嘗試，在這一次，她希望在敲擊樂器和敲響身體所造成的節奏有所突破，希望為這些元素和她已經令人印象深刻的結他演奏技巧結合，從而創造出令人驚訝的新聲音及新風格，這的確擴闊了她作為音樂家和表演者的視野。    正如 Badi Assad 創新的音樂方向開始出現，機會也同時出現，在1994年，她與獨立唱片公司《Chesky Records》合作，發表她的第一張專輯 《Solo》，這開始引起各界迴響，而她的國際聲望隨著1995年發行她的第二張專輯《Rhythms》隨之而增長，事實上，《Rhythms》被評為當年最重要的結他專輯之一，該專輯更獲得《Guitar Player Magazine》結他手雜誌 《Best Classical Album of the Year》的讀者投票冠軍，雖然那張專輯並不是古典專輯，但是技巧上來說，經已足夠逼近了。此外，她被《Guitar Player Magazine》編輯部評選為《Best Acoustic Fingerstyle Player》。    1996年《Chesky Records》與 Badi Assad 出版了一張名為《Echoes of Brazil》的結他專輯。然後於1997年， Badi Assad 迅速與主流唱片公司《PolyGram》簽訂了合同，之後專輯《Chameleon》也有很高的評價。    Badi Assad 與專輯《Chameleon》尤如一股風暴一樣吹襲歐洲，讓超過二百萬的法國觀眾在晚間清談節目《Canal +》上看到她驚人的技巧，更讓主持人無語。1998年7月， Badi Assad 在歐洲最著名的夏季節日中與 Cassandra Wilson、Joe Cocker、Maria Joao 和 Brazilians Chico Cesar、Marisa Monte 和 Gilberto Gil 等藝術家同台演出，單曲《Waves》在西班牙連續幾個星期內排名前十位，更被列入了由 Michael Douglas、Kirk Douglas 主演的《It Runs in the Family》當中的配樂。    2003年，她為以前的唱片公司，與爵士樂大師 Larry Coryell 和 John Abercrombie 錄製了一張名為《Three Guitars》的專輯，同年，她在《Brussels, Belgium》比利時布魯塞爾的《GHA Records Company》發行了一張名為 Ondas 的專輯。2004年，她與著名的德國公司《Deutsche Grammophon》簽約，發行了兩張專輯：Verde（2004）和 Wonderland（2006）。 《Wonderland》    由於 Badi Assad 喜歡重新創作歌曲，她把《Verde》的《bossa-nova》風格帶到了 U2 的《One》，Björk 的《Bachelorette》的就改成了探戈風格，而對於《Wonderland》她將《Eurythmics》《Vangelis》和《Tori Amos》等著名歌手，帶入了自己的歌曲世界。《Wonderland》這張專輯被選入英國 BBC 100首最佳CD之列，也被列入《Amazon》的Best 30。    2010年， Badi Assad 發佈了她的第一張 DVD，這是 Badi Assad 和她的丈夫《Dimitri Vakros》共同製作，並由 Badi Assad 的天才侄子 Rodrigo Assad（SérgioAssad 的兒子）指揮。這張 DVD 顯示了 Badi Assad 非凡的現場表演實驗。在同一年，一套由《Denise Milan》和《Lee Breuer》（Mabou Mines）執導的《Opera-Musical Opera das Pedras》（Das Pedras）的舞台劇，Badi Assad 更參與劇內的演出及唱歌。  2011年， Badi Assad 開始了一個新項目，就是與她的兄弟 Sérgio 和 Odair 加上他們的女兒 Clarice 和 Carolina 作為五重奏組，並一直世界巡迴演出。    2012年， Badi Assad 應巴西大使館的邀請，第一次訪問了印度。在巴西國家會議上一個活動中，Badi Assad 應巴西總統《Dilma Rousseff》的邀請演出。七月， Badi Assad 前往意大利參加《Venice Biennale of Dance》的演出，與來自《Bale of Theater Castro Alves》的《The acclaimed dance company》進行現場表演。    11月， Badi Assad Quatro通過自己的廠牌《 VentosAmor》發表了她的第一張獨立和授權專輯《 e Outras Manias Crônicas》。憑藉這張專輯，她獲得了《Best Composer of The Year (APCA/BR) 》Rolling並獲《 Stones Magazine》選為 《The Brazilian guitar masters of history》。    Badi Assad 已經與 Bob McFerrin、Yo-Yo-Ma、Sarah McLaughlin、Seu Jorge 等藝術家合作，已經在一些最負盛名的國際節日，如《North Sea Jazz Festival’ (NE)》《Brosella Folk & Jazz Festival’ (BE)》《Stimmen Festival’ (CH) 》《 theaters like ‘Paris Opera (FR)》《Palais de Beaux- Art (BE)》《Metropolitan Museum (NY)》等等演出，  她也代表巴西在著名的美國節日《Farm Aid》和《Lilith Fair’/US》中演出，每次在她的音樂會和專輯內，Badi Assad 絕對有創新和不尋常的演出，每一次都會表達出新的聲音和概念，據《The Los Angeles Times》報導：Badi Assad 把結他獨奏重新定義，且帶有啟示性、輝煌地展示創新，那超乎想像力和技巧，已經把觀眾帶入忘我境界了。 資料來源：http://badiassad.com http://guitar-city.blogspot.hk/2008/08/badi-assad.html https://www.discogs.com/artist/326913-Badi-Assad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badi_Assad Assad Brothers : https://assadbrothers.com U2 : http://www.u2.com/index/home Bjork : http://bjork.com Badi Assad Link : http://badiassad.com https://www.facebook.com/badiassadhttps://www.youtube.com/user/canalbadiassadhttps://www.instagram.com/badiassad/ https://soundcloud.com/badiassad #guitar #brazil #Latin #singer #artist #world music #classical music

The best songs of the 1970s

“What started out as a joke has turned into a disaster!” - Stu Nahan, Rocky IV

So my employment has me in my car a lot, which means I’m listening to the radio a lot. If I’m not listening to a podcast or baseball game through my phone I also have SiriusXM, which of course has a plethora of musical options. I gravitate to the 70s and 80s channels because, well, of course I do.

Something else about me you may or may not know is that I love ranking things. I have a Note on my phone I’m regularly accessing that is nothing but different types of rankings. 

Thus, you can imagine my excitement when the 70s on 7 station announced a listener-voted Top 700 Songs of the 70s countdown over Labor Day weekend. It was a fun listen. They went through it twice over the four day weekend, and I was laboring much so I heard much.

It prompted me to think: What are my top seventy songs of the 70s? Surely I wasn’t going to come up with a top 700. After all, some in that list were real stinkers. But seventy? No problem. And indeed, it wasn’t hard to come up with that many songs. The hard part was narrowing it down. And once I did, there were still so many songs on my list I had enough for more lists, so I expanded it to 140, then 210, and... well...

I’m about to give you the authoritative list of the 350 best songs of the 1970s. I originally put out a Top 70 list on Facebook a few weeks ago. Much that of that list remains the same, with a few changes. But now there is much more. I’ve divided these into five “volumes” of seventy songs. They are my picks, but I welcome your feedback, because what’s a good set of rankings without debate and discussion.

5 Companies with a Surprising Military Past

As Memorial Day draws near, we remember those that gave their lives for our freedom. Our nation has been involved in many wars throughout its history, and often, our victory has been aided by the innovation of American businesses. Read on to discover five companies with a unique, military heritage. 

Ray-Ban

Ray-Ban Aviators are a timeless summer accessory that radiates style, but did you know that these globally-renowned sunglasses were originally developed to assist fighter pilots? The U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant General asked Bausch & Lomb to create frames that would decrease the frequent headaches and bouts of nausea affecting pilots who fly at high altitudes. Bausch & Lomb created the original prototype in 1936, which was equipped with green, antiglare lenses. During World War II, General Douglas MacArthur was caught on camera wearing Ray-Bans as he landed on a beach in the Philippines; this drove the product to instant popularity. Later, Bausch and Lomb paid tribute to MacArthur by dedicating an entire line of the brand to him. 

Duct-Tape

What is the one product that can fix anything? Duct Tape is one of the most versatile goods on the market. Comedians like Jeff Foxworthy like to joke about its common household uses, but the sentiment is not far from reality. During World War II, Duct Tape was used to repair everything from vehicles and ammunition to weapons and tools. Incredibly, Duct tape was the brain child of a concerned military mom. In 1943, Vesta Stoudt, the mother of two U.S. Navy sailors, wrote a letter to President Roosevelt suggesting the use of adhesive fabric tape to secure boxes of bullets. Johnson & Johnson followed her advice and created the first version of Duct Tape. Soldiers nicknamed the product Duck Tape because of its duck-cloth backing. Today, it’s valued by the armed forces, professionals, and consumers alike. 

Sperry

Sperry Shoes were invented by Paul A. Sperry, a Navy veteran. Sperry joined the Navy Reserve in 1917 and served for one year. Following his military stint, Sperry spent much of his free time sailing recreationally. In 1934, while captaining his boat, the Sirocco, Sperry slipped and fell overboard. Sperry’s past navy experience along with his accidental fall gave him the idea of developing the first non-slip boating shoes; a year later, the brand Sperry was founded. When developing a prototype, Sperry was inspired by his cocker spaniel, Prince, whose footpads protected him from slipping on wet surfaces. This realization helped Sperry design the Top-Sider, the original deck shoes. During World War II, the United States War Department partnered with Sperry to manufacture Top-Siders for its sailors. Later, it became the official footwear of the United States Naval Academy’s casual uniform. 

Fed-Ex

In 1965, while attending Yale University, Fred Smith wrote a term paper on the logistical problems that arise when IT companies try to send urgent shipments. After graduation, Smith was recruited as a United States Marine Corps Officer. While serving two tours in Vietnam, he observed the logistical efficiencies of the military. It should also be noted that he exemplified bravery in battle and earned a Bronze Star, Silver Star, and two Purple Hearts. In 1971, after leaving the military, Smith bought a majority stake in the company Arkansas Aviation Sales. While there, he witnessed the difficulties of delivering packages within a timeframe of one to two days. From these challenges arose the idea behind Federal Express. The word Federal was used in the name to symbolize patriotic unity toward a nationwide economic movement. 

General Mills

General Mills, known for creating easy family meals, was crucial during the dark days of the Great Depression and World War II. Bisquick mixes helped to feed hungry families amidst food rationing, while Kix and Cheerios became some of the most affordable products fortified with Vitamin D. But, as the war raged on, General Mills found itself evolving to help the effort in new ways. 

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, General Mill’s flour milling facility became a war factory that produced weapons so covert, they required protection from armed guards. One of the most notable inventions created there was the jitterbug torpedo. The torpedo was designed to intentionally miss an enemy sea vessel, tricking those onboard to believe they were out of danger. Then, the torpedo would adjust itself and hit the target. This innovation excelled our navy military efforts.

Tips for Travelling with Your Cocker Spaniel

Being a pet parent can be a fulfilling but challenging experience. How? Well, pets are just like kids, and when you are travelling with kids, you need to be extra careful and plan differently than what you do with adults. Every dog breed is different, and if you have a cocker spaniel or are thinking about getting a cocker spaniel for sale in Birmingham, preparing for travel in advance is essential if you want to do it with your dog. Need tips? To kick things off, here are some pet parent hacks for travelling with your fur pal.

The Preparatory Stage

In the very first stage, you need to take care of various things, ranging from the veterinary check-up to packing essentials. Ensure your Cocker spaniel is up-to-date on vaccinations and in good health. Also, discuss your travel plans with your vet. You can get essential health certificates if you are travelling by air or crossing international borders, along with answers and advice on your travel-specific concerns, such as motion sickness and anxiety.

Don’t forget to prepare a travel kit that includes your dog’s favourite food, treats, toys, bedding, and grooming supplies, along with a first-aid box. Getting a sturdy leash and collar with updated identification tags is crucial, as is a recent photograph of your pet, in case they get lost. Also, introduce your Cocker spaniel to the travel carrier or crate well in advance. Make it a positive experience by placing treats and familiar items inside so they feel comfortable during the travel.

The Transportation Stage

This stage is the same for all purebred puppies for sale. Secure your Cocker Spaniel with a well-ventilated crate or pet seat belt. Make regular stops for exercise, bathroom breaks, and hydration. Never leave your dog alone in the car, especially in hot weather. For air travel, check the airline’s pet policy, book a direct flight if possible, and use an airline-approved carrier labelled with your contact information and “Live Animal” stickers. Arrive early for check-in with all necessary documents.
