Directions for Herringbone Box (6'' block)
Cutting Directions: Feature fabric: cut (2) 3 1/2''x 6''strips.
Choose 3-6 accent fabrics, and cut 16-20 strips measuring approximately 1''x4 1/2''.
Vary the width of the strip if desired.
Cut 2 strips of paper 3''x6''.
1. Angle a strip of fabric on one of the 3''x6'' pieces of paper. Use a washable glue stick or pins to hold it in place.
2. Place a second strip face down on one side of the first strip, sew 1/4'' seam allowance along the edge. Open, press, and repeat with additional fabric strips until you have covered half of the piece of paper.
3. Place a strip face down on the other edge of the first strip, sew 1/4'' seam allowance along the edge. Open, press, and repeat with additional fabric strips until you have covered the rest of the paper.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the second piece of paper. Make sure the second strip is angled opposite the first, otherwise you will end up with two diagonal stripes instead of a herringbone pattern.
5. Place fabric strips face down on cutting mat, and using a rotary cutter and ruler, trim around the edges. Remove paper from back of both blocks.
6. Cut each of the diagonal strips in half—you are left with 4 strips measuring 1 ½'' x 6''. Create a herringbone pattern with two strips, place right sides together, pin, and sew. Repeat with remaining two strips.
7. Choose 1 of the sewn herringbone strips, and sew a 3 ½'' x 6'' rectangle of the feature fabric on each side. Press.
8. Using a ruler and rotary cutter, make a cut somewhere near the middle of the block as shown below. It is your choice whether you make a straight or wonky cut (as shown).
9. Pin and sew the remaining herringbone strip right sides together to one half of the block. Press. Repeat with the other side.
10. Square up the block to a 6'' square—there is plenty of extra fabric in case you decide you want a wonky block.

As NYC Parks' public art program took shape in the 1960s, artistic events called "happenings" popped up in parks across the city. Blurring the line between art and everyday life, these fleeting performances combined sculpture, music, theater, dance, and poetry. They varied in size and sophistication, but always relied on audience participation.
NYC Parks' 50th anniversary celebration "It's Happening!" captures the same creative spirit with dynamic public artworks, hands-on workshops, and performances.
Interested in becoming a sponsor of It's Happening? In addition to being featured in a public event in Central Park, your brand will gain exposure through a comprehensive marketing plan that includes, but is not limited to:
- Printed flyers and posters distributed to various schools, businesses, and organizations

Support the Resolution to Protect the Unborn in West Virginia
Support the Resolution to Protect the Unborn in West Virginia
A founding principal in America is that all people are created equal and our endowed by our Creator with certain rights –life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, the history of our nation is stained with instances in which these basic rights were not upheld for all people. In modern history, the most deplorable example of this disregard for our founding principles is abortion.
Through abortion we steal the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from thousands of babies every year. In West Virginia, 1700 babies will likely die due to abortion just this year.
Fortunately, there are now efforts in the West Virginia legislature to restrict abortion and save lives through Join Senate Resolution 12. Joint Senate Resolution 12 says the state constitution grants no right to an abortion or the funding of the procedure. This measure has just passed the Senate and is now being considered by the House. Please sign this petition to the House of Delegates asking them to approve this resolution!
Once approved by the full legislature this resolution will be put on the November ballot for a public vote by the people.
If this resolution becomes law, then the legislature would control Medicaid spending on abortions. Last year, taxpayers in West Virginia, through Medicaid, funded 1,560 abortions.
That's why this resolution is so important.
We must remember that every abortion ends a human life that is made in the image of God. There is sanctity in each and every human life, and we must fight on all fronts to protect unborn children.
But in addition, we must never forget the women who fall prey to abortion. Their lives are devastated.
Preterm, a notorious abortion center, has a website where women can share their abortion stories. Preterm says these stories are supposed to demonstrate that abortion is a normal and commonplace procedure that women experience.
However, after reading through these stories for just a few minutes it is clear that the women who have received abortions aren't happy about it, in fact many are completely traumatized and devastated.
Listen to one woman's story, posted just a couple of weeks ago.
"I got an abortion and ever since, I've just felt empty. It's only been 5 days... and I want to die. I regret it so much. But there's no going back. I put the pill in my mouth and held it there I thought for a second.. Was I was doing the right thing? And my brain, My stupid, stupid brain, Said yes.
I should have listened to my heart. My heart was screaming at me 'Don't swallow it' But my brain made me do it. I instantly regretted what I had just done. The drive home was agonizing. My boyfriend wanted me to do it. He convinced me that it was what we needed. I have so much anger towards him."
Our culture has deeply failed women. Notice how most of these girls say that they didn't want to get an abortion but that someone in their life said they had to or else.
It's a sobering reminder that women who get abortions are not the enemy, they are the victim. We need to be praying for these women and coming alongside them in their grief.
That's why it is so important that we continue to stand up and fight against abortion! Please sign this petition and support Joint Senate Resolution 12.

For the cream 115 g unsalted butter 425 g powdered sugar (icing sugar better) 85 g unsweetened cocoa powder 105 ml semi-skimmed milk Preheat oven to 180 degrees (160 degrees if fan). Prepare cupcake pan with 12 capsules of paper. Sift the flour with the baking powder and cocoa into a bowl and reserve. Beat butter with sugar until blended and mixture is clear. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Add half the flour and beat on low speed until incorporated. Then add milk, mixed with vanilla extract and beat back. Add the other half of the flour and beat at low speed until the mixture is homogeneous. Split the mixture in capsules, not fill more than 2/3. Bake 22-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool cupcakes in pan 5 minutes and then move on to a wire rack until completely cool. While they cool, make our mini fritters: In a saucepan, heat the water with a drop of oil and a pinch of salt. When boiling, add the flour all at once and stir quickly. This creates a kind of "glue". Removed the fire bucket and take the sticky dough with wooden spoon and get into the pastry bag. Then we heat the oil in another pan. When very hot, we begin to put our fritters (watch out for burning!). Need at least a mini churro by cupcake. ( With what we do more mass on churros and we eat to live ... they are two days! ) Begin to brown As the mini churros, we take them out and leave them on paper towels to lose the excess oil. Finally, we went through sugar. To make the buttercream we sift the icing sugar with cocoa and place in a bowl with butter and milk. Covering the bowl, beat on low speed one minute. Then we went up the speed and beat at least another 5 minutes at high speed. The buttercream will become creamy, rich chocolate.

In Her Own Words: Birdy on what inspired "Keep Your Head Up"
Birdy and her 'Beautiful Lies' can be found on iTunes.
"That song ("Keep Your Head Up") really started as a ballad, just at the piano, very much what's really natural to me. That sound — I love it. And that's how that one started as well. I remember just getting really stuck with it because I only had the verse, and I didn't know why I couldn't finish it. I ended up writing the rest of it with Steve Mac and Wayne Hector in London. Then we put drums to it, and it became this really uplifting anthem. It helped me finish the song.
"It's just about when you're feeling sad and you're looking for things in the future that will make you happy, like good things coming. For me, that was probably the first week in London, feeling completely lost and weirded out, thinking, "Oh, this is the most exciting time in my life. I'm enjoying making my album, and I've got my family around me."
(quotes borrowed from the Cory Lamz interview @ vanyaland)

Hopefully you read my latest post, and how I practically demanded the appearance of local clusters of biotechnology, with research and innovation throughout the world. There's a first effort in my country that is proving to be a great framework for this: Redbionova.
This platform, founded and managed by Chilean scientists, aims to bring together students, researchers and entrepreneurs in all the areas of biotechnology. They have more than 10,000 visits per month, which may not sound like much until you learn that their impact indicators are almost 5 times better than any other website of similar niche in our country.
The great thing about Redbionova is the exposure of national biotechnology it provides. It's very easy to go through your biotech career in Chile without ever knowing there are exciting projects being developed one door down from where you stand, and this can be both discouraging and generally mind-numbing. You end up thinking that your work won't amount to much after all, because, Who are you? Just a student in a tiny, remote country subject to the tyranny of distance. You end up thinking, Of course nothing interesting will come out of here, because nothing is happening right now.
There are amazing Chilean projects generating an impact worldwide. Through Redbionova I have been able to interact with teams that are creating crowdsourcing platforms for biotechnology (Dodo Crowdfunding), producing modified bacteriophages for cattle (Phage Technologies), designing probiotics for lactose intolerance (Novalact), creating new cancer therapies (Andes Biotechnologies), designing new medical devices that diminish the need for incisions (Levita Magnetics), and inventing new stem cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases (Cell for Cells). Plus my two personal favorites: Kaitek Labs, which develops microbiological sensors for marine biotoxins; and Lab4u, which develops technologies to use mobile devices as science instruments for education and was the winner of the Latin American version of Intel Challenge.
These projects are finally being recognized, or at least known, within the community. Redbionova organizes meetups, known as "Biotech Tonics," throughout the year, bringing together researchers and innovators to share their ideas and visions on biotechnology. We even had an associated TV program (Todo x la ciencia, or Anything for Science) specialized in showcasing research advances all across the country, driving science and technology closer to everyone in Chile.
This visibility is paving the road for new teams, new people and new projects. One can only hope that the projects showcased today will be the inspiration of great discoveries tomorrow. Hopefully more communities like Redbionova will sprout up throughout non-clustered countries, finally creating a better, more robust and more complete network of biotechnology innovators.

By DAN KARELL
With five minutes left in regulation time, Mexico looked as though they were headed for their sixth draw in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, and an outcome that would make qualification for the World Cup very slim.
One minute later, substitute forward Raul Jimenez unleashed a moment of brilliance with a spectacular bicycle kick goal that gave Mexico a 2-1 victory over Panama, keeping El Tri's qualification hopes alive. The win was the first in 2013 at Estadio Azteca, after a number of draws and a loss last month to Honduras. Also in CONCACAF action on Friday evening, Honduras stunned Costa Rica with a 1-0 victory at Estadio Olimpico in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Debuting a new head coach, a new uniform, and some new and old familiar faces in the starting lineup, Mexico looked much like the team that has struggled all year old, the same team that saw Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre lose his job. Despite creating numerous chances, everyone from Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to Cristian Gimenez were sending shots high or wide of goal.
That all changed in the 40th minute, as Hernandez found forward partner Oribe Peralta in space on the side of the box, and in a fluid movement, Peralta took down the chip pass and fired home a cathartic goal that gave El Tri life heading into the second half.
With both Mexico and Panama tied on points coming into the game, the Canaleros needed the win just as much as Mexico did, making the second half an open affair. Panama pushed forward on many occasions but were clearly miffed after having a penalty kick call waved off, only to get called for one just seconds later.
Hernandez stepped up to the spot in the 58th minute, but sent a poor penalty kick down the middle that Panama goalkeeper Jaime Penedo saved with ease, keeping Panama alive. In the 81st minute, Panama were able to take advantage of some lax defending to shock Mexico and score the game-tying goal via Luis Tejada.
However, Jimenez came on one minute later and within four minutes, he became the next Mexico legend with another Azteca moment, the perfectly executed bicycle kick. Even with the victory, Mexico could still fail to qualify for the World Cup if they lose to Costa Rica and Panama defeat the USA on Tuesday, though it's looking more likely that Mexico will finish in fourth place and play in the playoff round against New Zealand.
In a surprise result, Honduras showed that they can beat anyone in CONCACAF at home with a crucial 1-0 victory over Costa Rica.
Catrachos head coach Luis Fernando Suarez produced another magic decision again when he decided to start Jerry Bengtson, who gets no playing time in MLS but seemingly can't stop scoring in CONCACAF international matches. Bengtson timed a run into the box perfectly in the 65th minute, taking a pass from Roger Espinoza and slotting the ball in the corner for a goal.
The duo of Bryan Ruiz and Alvaro Sabario didn't click for the Ticos in San Pedro Sula, and both were replaced in the second half in favor of fresher legs. Joel Campbell came on in the 61st minute and Victor Nuñez in the 70th but they couldn't break through the compact Honduras defense that held on to the one-goal lead.
With the victory, Honduras is all but assured a place in Brazil next summer, needing just a point at Jamaica on Tuesday to confirm it.
What did you think of these games? Which outcome was bigger for their respective nation? Did you feel like Mexico was headed for a draw before Jimenez's wonder-goal? Impressed with Bengtson's goal?

Change Management and Encouraging Adoption: the Cultural Shifts Needed for CRM Success
The shift to using CRM isn't just about choosing the right technology. For the best results, CRM needs to be implemented – and used – across your whole organization, which means a cultural shift is necessary, or the success of the project can be jeopardized. In fact, one study by Forrester indicated that more than one-fifth of CRM problems are, in fact, "people problems" of one sort or another. These problems included:
During our recent webinar with American Banker, two Doxim clients, Westminster Savings Credit Union and Copperfin Credit Union, shared how they managed the cultural shift around their CRM implementation to minimize risk and maximize adoption and ongoing usage. Here are five top ways they ensured success:
Establishing CRM Champions
Nikki Jelstad, Manager of Customer Experience at Westminster Savings Credit Union, indicates that training champions in CRM eased the adoption process at her credit union considerably. Westminster brought together champions from every location and line of business for intensive, in-person training. When they returned to their home locations, they acted as subject matter experts and CRM advocates, assisting their peers as they worked through online CRM training. This facilitated the process of training CRM users across the entire enterprise, and supporting them after the system went live.
Communicate Early- What's in it for me?
For Copperfin Credit Union, a solid communication strategy was key to the success of its CRM rollout, says Steve Marquis, VP of Sales & Member Experience. Their change management process meant that communication about CRM started well before the implementation, so there were no surprises for employees. Copperfin leaders used a multi-channel communication strategy focused on how CRM would make the day to day lives of staff members simpler. By communicating early and often, they engaged their entire team and built enthusiasm.
Diversify your training
Training, both Jelstad and Marquis agree, is pivotal to CRM success. From user guides to online training and quizzes to Slack support channels and on-site SMEs, both credit unions made sure that their people knew how to use their new tools correctly. Training is an ongoing process for their organizations, both to refresh employee knowledge and to explain new processes and workflows as CRM usage continues to scale up.
Solicit feedback and act fast!
For leadership in both credit unions, soliciting feedback on how their new CRM was also an essential part of the process. Establishing a clear format and a single point of contact for CRM-related questions, comments and concerns allowed the credit unions to identify and resolve issues sooner, while also helping employees feel heard. Both credit unions also emphasized the importance of communicating to stakeholders that their feedback would be acted on, and then closing the loop by showing them how it was used.
Incentivize, gamify, and "go all in"!
Don't be shy about incentivizing CRM adoption, says Steve Marquis of Copperfin. Measuring usage and reinforcing it via prizes and contests is a great way to get everyone excited about using new technology, and the enthusiasm it generates can't be overestimated. Since CRM is a critical part of Copperfin's efforts to drive value for its members, investing in employee engagement paid big dividends for everyone involved. Today, their CRM system is helping the Copperfin team provide more customized experiences to members, whenever and however they contact the credit union.
Do you want to learn more about the human side of CRM?

Getting Romance Back Into Your Marriage
Are the romance and passion fading from your marriage? Are you searching for romance tips, for ways to get it back to what it once was before you were married? Don't fret, there are a whole host of little things you can do to strike up that romantic spark again.
No matter how deeply you're in love, tips for romance can go a long way toward keeping "that lovin' feelin'" alive for years to come! You may find just what you're looking for with the following ideas and suggestions.
It's Better To Give Than To Receive!
Not only common sense but also sociological studies hold true the fact that the more each partner invests time and effort in building a successful marriage, the more they generally get out of it. When either spouse freely expresses their love, it begins a cycle of giving and giving-back between the couple that's hard to hold back. Sending these funny good morning messages for him or her can also help a lot.
The great thing about it is that it only takes one partner to kick off the cycle! You just want to make sure you don't get stuck in the position where you're being taken advantage of, or feel resentment if you don't get as much in return.
If you're beginning to feel that your average Valentine's Day card has more romance in it than your marriage does right now, perhaps it's time to do something about it. Marital problems can develop all too quickly, and a lack of romantic intimacy can become a major contributor. So, to keep the love sizzling in your marriage, romance tips, like the ones mentioned above, can provide you with a useful starting point. All you need to do is make the effort!
Take Your Wife On A Date!
I'm sure you've heard this romance tip before, haven't you? There's no doubt, it'd be great to go out to a high-class restaurant at least once a week, but there's a budget to keep in check and, of course, children to consider. Who has the money or the time? Well, you probably do if you use a little imagination and planning.
If you're on a tight budget, why not stay at home and make a gourmet meal together. Definitely cuts out some of the expense and adds to the romantic atmosphere.
Can't find a sitter? Try setting up a roster with friends or family, where you watch their kids on Friday night and they watch yours on Saturday night.
Even when you're truly in love, romance tips for the bedroom tend to fall by the wayside. When you're trying to deal with everything else that goes on in life, romantic advice seems to take a back seat. If you feel the passion has faded somewhat in your love-life, put some real effort into reviving it. Take time to actually talk to your spouse about your mutual 'turn-ons' and desires. Sometimes, just a book or DVD on love-making ideas can be enough to get you 'back in action again', so to speak. Experiment, have fun!
Check How You Treat Your Spouse.
It's hard to explain, but it seems that the more familiar we become with someone, and no matter how much we love that person, we tend to start taking them for granted. We often end up criticizing, nagging and neglecting their feelings.
While it's not easy to admit, most of us develop a few bad habits over time. That's why it can help to take a cold, hard look at how you treat your spouse and work on the less-than-loving behavior that might be killing off your romance.
How Often Do you Really Talk With Your Spouse?
I don't mean talking about the weather, the economic situation or who said what at the PTA meeting. I'm talking about sharing your innermost thoughts, feelings and plans for the future 'kinda' stuff!
It's important to realize that, for those in love, effective romance tips don't always hinge on the roses and candlelight part. The foundation of real romance is emotional intimacy, the kind of closeness only you and your partner can reach through frequent, open conversations about the things that really matter to the both of you.

About Dr. Alice Cohen
"As a physician, I've always been drawn to the specialized practice of caring for the skin. I see each person's skin as their canvas. A great work of art can only be achieved when you begin with the best canvas possible."
Dr. Alice Cohen knew as a child that a career in medicine would define her future. Born in Illinois to an Air Force Officer, she enjoyed an unconventional childhood living in Europe and throughout the United States.
Graduating with honors from Wichita State University, she earned her medical degree from the University of Health Sciences, Kansas City, MO. It was in medical school that she met her husband, Dr. Randy Cohen. Following a three year Family Practice Residency at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, MI, she attained her board certification and worked as an emergency room physician. She actively practiced family medicine in Lancaster County for twelve years, including a three-year teaching appointment for family practice residents.
During these formative years, Dr. Cohen became increasingly fascinated with the newly emerging field of Aesthetic Medicine. She left family practice in 2000 to intensively study this scientific approach to image enhancement. When it became available in 2013, Dr. Cohen attained her Board Certification in Aesthetic Medicine.
Dr. Cohen feels privileged to have spent the last nineteen years practicing aesthetics. Enabling patients to match their current appearances to their desired images, to look as good as they feel, and to reap the benefits of boosted self-esteem, continues to be immensely rewarding. In transitioning from Family Practice to Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Cohen has transitioned from healing the body to healing the psyche by treating the face. She delights in making the world more beautiful – one face at a time.

Federal Government to Tackle Canada-US Retail Price Gap on Electronics and More
Industry Minister James Moore today has announced the Federal government's plans to take aim at the "unexplained and often significant gap between Canadian and U.S. prices for the same products," by introducing the Price Transparency Act:
The Price Transparency Act will help tackle the practice of geographic price discrimination, one of the key contributors to the Canada–U.S. price gap. Today's announcement provides the Commissioner of Competition with the tools necessary to investigate alleged cases of price discrimination and to publicly report situations where consumers are unfairly targeted with higher prices. The Commissioner will be authorized to seek court orders to compel the production of evidence to expose discriminatory pricing practices that are not justified by higher costs in Canada and to publicly report to consumers on the findings.
According to the government's studies, retail prices of goods in Canada are 10-25 percent higher than the U.S., while the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance in 2013 concluded country pricing by manufacturers is a one of the primary reasons for the price discrepancies.
Also, the American Economic Review's recent study reviewed 4,000 items in both countries and found distributors or wholesalers were the ones engaging in country pricing strategies.
Canadians are well aware of price differences between both countries. Aside from country pricing from wholesalers, the dollar exchange rate surely plays a role, along with transportation costs among others. When it comes to electronics and accessories, it's mostly cheaper to buy in the USA, but it's the shipping and duties to Canada that typically kills the deal.
When it comes to Apple, price differences remain between both countries. An unlocked entry iPhone 6 costs $649 US, while the same model costs $749 CAD. The differences in price jump $110 and $120 respectively for the 64GB and 128GB models.
Is this something the government will actually be able to change? Or is this just something that will drive discussion leading up to next year's federal election? Some would argue companies forced to comply with investigations would just pass the costs onto consumers.

At total of 7,655 people were dismissed from the Health Ministry as part of the government's post-coup purge of state institutions, according to official data.
Health Minister Ahmet Demircan told the state-run Anadolu agency that 7,655 people working under his ministry were dismissed, of whom 252 were later reinstated to their jobs.
Meanwhile, 252 others were suspended pending the results of ongoing administrative investigations.
Turkey survived a military coup attempt on July 15, 2016 that killed 249 people and wounded more than a thousand others. The government blames the Gülen movement while the group denies involvement.
Turkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 public employees including judges, teachers, police and many others from several other professions since July 15, 2016 through government decrees issued as part of an ongoing state of emergency.

Bad Breath
Bad breath is a very common condition. Everyone suffers from occasional bad breath (Halitosis).
Persistent bad breath is often and indicator of gum disease. Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease and is reversible. However, if left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis.
Discoloured Teeth
Extrinsic and intrinsic factors can cause the discolouration of your teeth. Extrinsic factors include exterior stains on teeth caused by smoking, dietary issues, dental cavities, or disease and can be removed through regular cleanings and whitening procedures.
Bleeding Gums
The main cause of bleeding gums is the buildup of plaque at the gum line. Bleeding gums leads to a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums.
Gum Recession
Gum recession is when the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth root. Mild gum recession can be treated successfully by deep cleaning the affected area.
Tooth Wear
Tooth wear refers to loss of tooth substance by means other than dental caries or dental trauma. Tooth wear is a complex problem and there is difficulty identifying a single cause factor.
Cracked Tooth
There are many different types of cracked teeth and they show a variety of symptoms. Symptoms of cracked teeth can include erratic pain when biting into food or when your tooth is exposed to temperature extremes.
Wisdom Teeth
Poor alignment of wisdom teeth can damage adjacent teeth, the jawbone, or nerves. Wisdom teeth that remain enclosed within the soft tissue or the jawbone or only partially break through the gum are impacted.

As much as chefs may put their own unique -- and delicious -- spin on common food items, most menus across South Florida contain the same sorts of ingredients.
Sure the same cuts of steak, types of chicken, and array of fish can be incredibly diverse in terms of preparation, but at the end of the day, it's the same stuff you've been eating for decades, depending on your age.
To take guests down a different dining path, the Dubliner is releasing a new menu today with an exotic selection of wild game as well as more familiar options.

Starting tonight, the Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale Irish spots are offering up healthy carnivorous choices like Nilgai Antelope ($26) chop served with sauteed wild mushrooms and a light dijon cream and Bison Strip Steak ($24) grilled or blacked with lemon herb butter or au poivre ($26).
Executive chef Greg Schiff extensively researched the health benefits of the meats, both of which are free-range and grass-fed throughout their entire lives -- unlike the vast majority of commercial beef.
"Both the bison and the antelope are very low in fat," said Schiff. "Because they are free-range and grassfed, and there isn't as much of a demand, its more sustainable than beef. We've eliminated the old New York strips from the menu."

Dog meet dog: American Kennel Club adds 2 breeds to roster
NEW YORK (AP) — A spirited Dutch duck-luring dog and a friendly French rabbit hound are now running with the American Kennel Club's pack.
The club announced Wednesday that it's recognizing the Nederlandse kooikerhondje and the grand basset griffon Vendeen. They're the first breeds added to the roster since 2016.
They're eligible for many dog shows this year but can't compete at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club show until next year.
'Like a toddler that never grows up'
The Nederlandse kooikerhondje goes back hundreds of years in Holland. The smallish, brown-and-white, spaniel-style dogs can be seen in some Dutch Old Master paintings.
"They're actually like a toddler that never grows up," said breeder D. Ann Knoop-Siderius. She said they are happy, sometimes naughty and "very playful" dogs."
Her husband, Jac Knoop, is the president of the Kooikerhondje Club of the USA.
Kooikerhondjes were trained to help hunters attract ducks into net-covered canals. The elaborate setups waned in the 19th century, and the dogs neared extinction during World War II, before a baroness set out to bring them back.
There are now about 7,000 worldwide and roughly 500 in the U.S., and they're well-suited to agility and other canine sports, said Knoop-Siderius, who is based in Ogden, Illinois.
It's 'GBGV', for short
The grand basset griffon Vendeen goes by "GBGV" for short. It's one of a number of long, low-to-the-ground basset breeds with centuries-long roots in Europe. A smaller cousin, the petit basset griffon Vendeen, and the long-eared basset hound have been recognized by the AKC for decades.
GBGVs are known for their speed, stamina and cheerful nature, but owner Megan Esherick finds them to be "a pretty laid-back breed."
"They're happy to get up and do things if you ask them to, but they're not particularly busy, in terms of pacing back and forth or throwing a ball in your lap," says Esherick, of Leesport, Pennsylvania. Her 9-year-old GBGV, Juno, has competed in agility, obedience and other events.
The AKC is the nation's oldest purebred dog registry. It recognizes 192 breeds, from silky Afghan hounds to hairless xoloitzcuintlis.
How to get recognized by the AKC
Requirements for recognition include having at least 300 dogs of the breed spread around at least 20 states. Fanciers petition for recognition after years of building up pedigrees, clubs and breed standards.
Some animal-rights advocates say that encouraging interest in purebred dogs fuels puppy mills and fads while diverting attention from mixed-breed dogs that need adoption. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has criticized previous AKC new-breeds announcements.
The AKC says conscientious breeding doesn't negate shelter dogs' need for homes but does allow people to choose pets with somewhat predictable characteristics, helping to make lasting matches. The club notes that mixed-breed dogs compete in many events it sanctions, such as agility and obedience contests.
