Agility Training For Dogs: A Beginner Guide

by kiprana

Dogs love to exercise and play, and giving your dog opportunities to expend some energy is one of the best ways to keep them fit and healthy. While most dogs are fine with simple walks around the block, some dogs would prefer something more intensive for their play sessions. Agility training is a good fit for these types of dogs, and can be both beneficial and a lot of fun.

Sometimes, getting involved with agility training can be intimidating – it’s normal to wonder whether you as a dog owner have what it takes to train your dog to …

CNN boss Chris Licht hasn’t won over rank and file at the network, insiders say

by

The ghost of Jeff Zucker still haunts the halls of CNN as the network’s current chief tries to win over staffers who continue mourning their fallen, scandal-plagued captain.

Chris Licht has been tasked to carry out the mission directed from CNN’s new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Its CEO David Zaslav has been public about his desires for CNN to be more balanced, saying in an interview last year, “America needs a news network where everybody can come and be heard; Republicans, Democrats.”

Licht officially took the reins in May 2022 after Zucker was forced out as CNN president just

First inspections of the spring

by

In sunny Cornwall I’ve just done my first inspections for 2021 inside the hives. It’s been warm enough for some people to walk around in just t-shirts and for me to wear a t-shirt and cardigan, so it was time.

Good news: both colonies are alive and queen-right. Bad news: one (Kensa) is showing signs of chalkbrood disease.

My inspecting of Demelza went comically wrong. I started by trying to get all my equipment ready so that I could do some queen marking. I opened a brand new queen marking pen bought last summer and tried to use it on

Second inspection of the year

by

It’s been a cold week, but today seemed to mark a turning point in the weather here. I took my coat and gloves back off; my gloves had been put away for the summer two weeks ago, only to be hastily retrieved when the cold winds arrived. In some parts of the country snow has fallen and the keepers have not found an opportunity to do a first inspection yet.

How to catch a swarm – advice from an expert beekeeper, Roger Patterson

by

A few weeks ago I listened into a zoom talk all about swarms by Roger Patterson. I last heard Roger speak in person almost a decade ago, back in 2012, when his talk was “Improve your bees and beekeeping – simply”. I think he’s one of the most well known beekeepers here, as he does so many talks and is very active in the beekeeping community. He has also written a book, called ‘Beekeeping – A Practical Guide’ (2012).

Roger began by saying that swarms have changed:

Pre 1990s, they used to be reliable:
