A Tribute To Man’s Best Friend

Cop Honors His Beloved K-9 Partner By Saving A Dog From Death Row

Cop Honors His Beloved K-9 Partner By Saving A Dog From Death Row

The community of Lawrenceville, Georgia is in mourning after the loss of their beloved K9 partner. Eiko, the eight year old German shepherd, lost his short but treacherous battle with cancer on July 14, 2016.

Eiko had been diagnosed with terminal cancer just one week before his funeral. The Lawrenceville Police Department held a memorial service for Eiko, to honor their fallen comrade. Friends and family of Eiko’s handler, K-9 Officer Shawn Humphreys, attended the service in order to pay their respects to the beloved hero.

Officer Humphreys and Eiko worked together for five years before his passing, and the two had formed an inseparable bond. Shawn Humphreys, who was devastated bay Eiko’s passing, spoke of him fondly at his memorial service at the Oak Rest Pet Gardens.

He was one of the truest forms of a real police officer.

Though Eiko was no longer saving lives on the streets of Lawrenceville, his legacy lived on in one last rescue mission.

One of the attendees of his memorial service was a woman named Kristin Sarkar, who was not only a friend of Eiko’s, but a friend to many dogs. Kristin Sarkar is the founder of Releash Atlanta, a rescue group that helps rehome dogs from shelters. She had the pleasure of meeting Eiko and his family before his passing, when they hired her to do a photoshoot. She too spoke fondly of the beloved K9.

After Eiko’s passing, Officer Humphreys and his wife wanted to honor lost friend by saving one last life in his name. Teaming up with Kristin Sarkar and Releash Atlanta, they sought out to find a dog in need of fostering.

Kristin Sarkar had located a homeless German shepherd at a rural shelter in Georgia. The dog was injured, seemingly suffering from a snake bite, and had been scheduled for euthanasia. Kristin and Releash Atlanta pondered whether this dog would be a match for the Humphreys family. Given the dog’s health complications, the rescue process would have been pricey.

“We don’t have a lot of funds especially for an injured dog, especially with nowhere to go,” she said. “It wasn’t a dog we could take.”

Though Releash Atlanta and Kristin Sarkar had agreed that this dog would be too great of a risk, they had a change of heart shortly after leaving the shelter. They recognized that this dog, much like Eiko, had such little hope in this world, and was in need of a helping hand.

We have to go back and get that dog. Let’s do this!

Cop Honors His Beloved K-9 Partner By Saving A Dog From Death Row

After some much needed medical treatment, the young German shepherd soon found himself in a loving home, with a large pawsto fill.

Officer Shawn Humphreys and his wife couldn’t think of a better way to pay respects to Eiko than to continue his legacy in the dog in which he saved. They named the dog Eiko Junior, or EJ for short.

The whole thing aligned perfectly.

As if it were meant to be, EJ made himself right at home.

On the first night at the Humphreys’, he decided that his job was to fill the void Eiko had left behind. Instead of sleeping on the bed his foster family gave him, he curled up in Eiko’s favorite spot, right beside Shawn Humphrey.

The Humphreys sent this photo to Kristin Sarkar to prove what an amazing choice she had made.

Cop Honors His Beloved K-9 Partner By Saving A Dog From Death Row

Officer Shawn Humphrey and EJ have been getting along like old friends for the past few weeks. Though they will always be close, the plan was never to keep EJ for long.

Officer Humphreys is expecting his new K9 partner shortly, and EJ will be looking for his forever home. If you are interested in adopting EJ, please contact Releash Atlanta at adopt@releashatlanta.com.

A special thank you to the Humphreys, Kristin Sarkar, and of course, Eiko, for giving this dog another chance at live.

 

In Loving Memory of K9 Officer Eiko.

This Is What Typical Homes From Around The World Look Like

0
0

Japan

Tokyo is one of the most expensive and densely populated cities in the world. That is why only wealthy people can afford to have spacious dwellings, while the vast majority of Japanese people live in tiny apartments.

The only room in the apartment is used as a bedroom, living room, and dining room. In the corner, you can see a refrigerator, and the only way to get to the balcony is to climb over the bed. However, the room is bright and well-lit, and this visually expands the living space.

In the hallway, behind the yellow door there is a closet, bathroom, and even a mini kitchen that has everything you need.

 

 

Spain

Most Spaniards prefer to live in apartment blocks. Here is what the typical residential area in any Spanish city looks like.

Most Spanish apartments involve white walls, stone floors, and windows with shutters. These interior elements help people to survive the hot summer months. However, since it is not common for a Spanish home to be equipped with central heating, the apartment can get very cold in winter. Many people use electric heaters as a way to keep their dwelling warm. But taking into account the fact that Spain’s electricity bills are among the highest in Europe, this method of heating is not very efficient.

Meals are usually served in the living room. Although Spanish apartments tend to have big kitchens, they are used exclusively for cooking.

 

 

Sweden

A typical residential area in Sweden looks like this.

One distinctive feature of the Swedish way of life is smart usage of basement areas. People often use it to store their bikes, to create a laundry room, or sometimes they even transform it into a gym.

Each apartment also has a storage locker in a special room in the basement. The apartment dwellers use them to store summer tires, skis, suitcases, and other seasonal or less important things. The balconies are used as a rest area.

The white walls and white furniture are a typical sign of the world-famous Scandinavian design. Most Swedish interiors have bright accents and large drape-free windows.

 

 

Great Britain

Most English people try to avoid living in blocks of flats. They prefer to live on the outskirts of the city in houses like these.

Given that central heating isn’t installed in all buildings, British people try to do their best to prevent interior heat from escaping. Carpet in every room, draft stoppers, blankets and, of course, a fireplace are the necessary elements of most houses in Great Britain. And possibly the most unusual thing — the faucets on sinks in the UK usually have separate hot and cold controls.

Fighting with the cold, the English make their dwellings feel super cozy and chic.

 

 

South Korea

More than 80% of the Korean population lives in high-rise apartment buildings. One distinctive feature of Korean apartment blocks is the huge building number that is visible from afar.

It may seem strange, but apartments in Korea have no hallways. Even the very word ’hallway’ may sound unfamiliar to the local people. The entrance of the apartment is usually very small (about a meter wide). So, on entering the apartment you will immediately see the doors that lead to the kitchen or living room. Most entranceways tend to have tile flooring, and this is where you should take off your shoes before you walk into a home.

The apartments in Korea are usually small. However, the rooms are very bright thanks to large windows. One thing that may seem unusual to most people is the absence of a bathtub or a separate shower. They are replaced by a simple drain on the bathroom floor.

 

 

Australia

Australians are notoriously fond of living in their own houses, but a growing number of residents (about 30% of the population) choose to live in apartment blocks.

Most Australians live in big houses with three bedrooms. The average home size in this country is about 80 — 120 square meters. Apart from bedrooms, the typical house features a living room, kitchen, bathroom, two toilet rooms and a garage. Some households also have a small laundry room and one more living room. All doors are usually made of glass.

 

 

India

If a family is relatively wealthy, they have a big house with many rooms. Such homes are usually two stories high with a big backyard.

The interior design of Indian buildings is a mixture of modern Western and Eastern styles. The lower floor is usually occupied by storerooms and barns, while a ceremonial room for receiving guests is on the second floor. The best room in the house is occupied by the family idol to whom people pray twice a day. The windows of female bedrooms overlook the backyard because it is considered improper for women to look out of the window.

 

 

Cuba

In Cuba, houses are mainly made of concrete and have 1 or 2 stories. Most homes here have no glass windows. Instead, people use wooden or metal shutters.

If you enter a house in Havana (especially in the downtown area of the capital city), you will be amazed at how beautiful the interior is. Built in the Colonial style, with high ceilings and antique furniture, these homes seem to be real masterpieces.

 

 

USA

The index of average floor space per person in the USA is among the highest in the world, which means that the typical American dwelling is really big. A house that is for sale has almost everything you need to live in it: carpet throughout all the rooms, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen appliances. The only thing that is lacking here is furniture.

The main rule here is that the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in a house should be equal. In some homes, each bedroom also has a built-in or walk-in wardrobe.

The distinctive feature of the design concept of American homes lies in the fact that the interior should look both cozy and expensive. The layout of most houses is clearly designed to make visitors stay in the front area of the house (that usually looks the most beautiful) and to hide bedrooms from prying eyes.

15 Former Donald Trump Supporters Reveal What The Final Straw Was

0
0

1. I was on the maybe fence for a while. I liked the idea that he didn’t give a fuck, wasn’t being pressured by lobbyists, and had some party agnostic ideas.

I’m over it. He’s a textbook demagogue. Blame the media if they point out lies, appeal to anger, blame the others, and dance confidently in front of the camera.

Moreover, he can’t control himself. He reminds me of my dog. Her prey drive is through the roof. If she’s off leash she will bolt after worthless floating shopping bags in the road. Even if it means running into traffic and potentially killing herself.

 

2. When trump said he wanted to debate Bernie, and when Bernie actually agreed, he released this hogwash. All this tells me is that all of his great promises such as arresting Hillary and building the wall mean nothing, because he can just make some lame excuse as to why it can’t happen because it’s someone else’s fault.

 

3. Wasn’t necessarily a die hard fan, but I was really trying to keep an open mind this election. I went to both Bernie and Hillary rallies, and was really excited to see Trump too.

The final straw was most definitely the rally. I’m not sure what I expected, but Trump’s rally was so…disturbing. His words inspired hate. The people around me were openly hostile and saying vicious things against minorities, women, and Hillary Clinton. And Trump seemed to revel in it. Someone who is so gleeful in hatred is not someone I want as a leader.

 

4. I don’t know if I was ever a full on Trump supporter, but when he and Clinton both got the nomination for their respective parties, I was actually leaning more toward Trump. However, his denial of climate change completely changed my mind. I’m not one to get caught up in the doom and gloom of many articles about the climate changing, but there is absolutely ZERO reason not to invest time, money, and energy into renewable/cleaner power sources. Especially now, when there has been so much research done and everything is so much less expensive than it was even 10-15 years ago.

 

5. I was on the fence until he said global warming was a hoax. Fuuuuck that.

 

6. I was excited about having a republican candidate who wasn’t a far right wing religious zealot. Then he picked Pence as a VP and I thought, well fuck I may actually have to vote for Clinton. He’s divisive and doesn’t know when he just needs to admit he’s wrong and back down (picking a fight with the parents of the soldier, saying Obama is literally the founder of ISIS). I still don’t really even know what his ideas are…he never says anything concrete. It’s just “x is awful, I can make it great again.”

 

7. He doesn’t pay his contractors. I’m a contractor. He willfully crushes the small businesses be purports to defend.

 

8. I never really liked or supported Trump, but what made me completely hate him was his acceptance of the Purple Heart that was given to him by a Veteran. His reaction to receiving the medal, and just how he treated it as a “Prize” and not actually thinking about what that Veteran had done to receive the Medal and not thanking him enough or just having any real sympathy for what that man did for his country. He should have given it back to the man! I just had no respect what so ever for Trump as a human with a heart after that.

For those who didn’t see it (https://youtube.com/watch?v=zR66EoDQEt0 )

 

9. I really loved him for actually shucking the political trends and speaking his mind.

When he talked about the wall, I thought it was a gag. When he went deep into the Islamophobia, I knew he just deeply resented people. He’s the kind of guy that would hit you with his car then sue you for damages. He speaks his mind, but there’s nothing good going on in there.

 

10. Not a Trump supporter, former Trump supporter, or even American at all, but this probably sums it up for most people:

He’s already advocated spreading nuclear weapons to more countries, murdering civilians and committing war crimes, punishing any woman who gets an abortion, toss out the Geneva convention and torture people, withdraw from NATO, and ban an entire religion from the country, and create a database of muslims.

He said he would deport US citizens and thinks global warming is a hoax created by the chinese, thinks the US should default on its debt, defends the interment of Japanese Americans in WW2.

He thinks Obama is a muslim and accused him of not being american and accused him of being an ISIS sympathizer, insulted war heros because they got captured, racially insulted a sitting Senator. He bragged about his dick size in a GOP debate and has suggested he might quit if he’s actually elected.

He consistently thinks women are only valuable for how they look, with at least a dozen high-profile misogynistic comments.

He’s called nuking the middle east a plausible option. He has a suspicious number of ties to Putin, and has a history of business deals with organized crime. He’s called mexicans rapists and criminals, been successfully sued multiple times for racist rental practices, and said he wants no blacks only jews counting his money.

He semi-threatened the pope, mocked disabled people in front of a crowd of thousands, outright threatened violence towards the media and protesters, made sexual comments about his daughters MULTIPLE TIMES, praised Kim Jong Un and Putin and Saddam Hussein, praised the Tianenmen Square massacre.

He’s flirted with white supremacy – retweeting them, reposting their images with anti-semitic symbols, playing coy about David Duke’s endorsement. He’s a verified lunatic conspiracy theorist – he thinks the Clintons murdered one of their aides, Obama is a sleeper agent and Ted Cruz’s dad helped kill JFK.

He could get caught diddling kids and funding ISIS himself and his supporters would eat it up. Either way, Ladies and Gentlemen, your Republican party nominee.

sources .

 

11. Quick preface: I’m from the New York City area. Trump is an absolute legend. Watching The Apprentice with my parents and brother is a super fond memory, going to Trump Tower was always a treat, and we all read his biographies. He was just this larger-than-life guy.

So naturally, when he ran for president, it was great. He cut through the BS of every other Republican candidate; he was actually talking about genuine ideas, genuine solutions for America’s problems instead of the usual Bush, Rubio crap. Blaming the trade deals for American job losses? That’s a fresh idea and it rings true for a whole lot of people. Funding his campaign without super PACs? Amazing. His personality? Magnetic. Even his more radical (xenophobic) ideas — the Muslim ban, the wall — while not appealing to me, genuinely reflect how many American people feel. Everything incendiary appeared to be calculated, either as way to get more nods from white voters, or give himself more airtime at the expense of every other candidate.

But then he took a shot at Mrs. Khan. A Gold Star mother. I couldn’t figure out what sort of calculation he made for that one — the entire right united against him on that, and my vision of genius PR master Trump just didn’t fit. It reminded me of how he insulted John McCain for getting captured — while he himself is a draft-dodger. I now realize everything he said wasn’t really a calculated ploy for attention — he really is just shooting from the hip, and is good at damage control. Not what you want in a president.

 

12. When he said a judge wasn’t fit for judging because he was Hispanic. I was on the fence before that shit.

 

13. He said he was going to bring on only the best people. The top minds. A meritocratic advisory team. I could really get behind that and it was a compelling claim.

And then every advisor he has pegged is total garbage like Ben Carson and ex-Goldman Sachs people. That was it for me. An energy advisor that doesn’t believe in climate change? No thanks.

 

14. When I realized he wasn’t making parabolic hyperboles but was actually speaking literally. When he said “build a wall” I just thought he meant “reform immigration”. Make visa holders accountable when they overstay, address sanctuary cities, continue to help immigrant come here legally. No. Dude literally wants a brick wall along the border. Same thing when he said Obama made ISIS just a 2 days. Most of us thought “oh he means Obama didn’t handle the Middle East well. He withdrew in an unmanageable manner creating a vacuum for a stronger extremist group.” No. After an interview with Hugh Hewitt we know that dude thinks Obama like made phone calls or something to organize ISIS. He says thing people think are deep analytical metaphors. No he’s 100% speaking literally. It reminds me of the episode of the office where Kevin makes a sales analogy about the cookie and the CEO thinks he’s a genius but we all find out at the end that he was literally just talking about the cookie.

 

15. The Ted Cruz speech.

I am an independent with Libertarian leanings (Raised Sunni but now Athiest, OIF vet), and tried to come around on Trump because I dislike what Hillary stands for so much (oligarchy, corruption, hypocrisy regarding gay rights, rape, etc. turning a blind eye). I was convinced that the RNC would warm me up to being okay with Donald Trump in office, despite what he says about my people, despite his protectionist measures that would probably destroy the economy, etc. I wanted to be okay with casting a vote for Trump.

Then the RNC happened. Such negative undertones for the whole event. I am not a Ted Cruz fan, for obvious reasons. But watching Ted Cruz give a compassionate speech where he pivoted away from conservative Christianity base (Cruz started his campaign at Liberty University, chased the conservative Christian vote, then saw Donald Trump siphon that base away as well as the LU endorsement) and hinted at Libertarianism was probably the most optimistic speech I heard watching the RNC.

Cruz championed rights for people despite their race (uncharacteristically mentioning Athiesm and Islam, which were strong points for me) and sexual orientation, AND THEN the crowd went silent when he mentioned the family of Alton Sterling. I was thinking, WTF is this guy doing. Then he said vote your conscience, vote for people who would protect the Constitution (which I spent five years of my life doing), and the crowd started boo-ing. It just got so violent. And I realized, the people who are supporting Trump want authoritarianism and are unable to functionally reason. And ironically, these are probably the same people who were screaming “Rule of Law, not Rule of Man” back when Obama was elected.

So to see these people turn so violent at one of their own just because he wouldn’t say some magic words, I decided that I could not align with this guy or his supporters. I decided that night that I would vote my conscience, which in this case, is a guy who probably won’t even hit 10%. All of the crap that Trump said since the RNC (SPECIFICALLY GOING AFTER THE KHAN FAMILY WHICH HITS HOME IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE) just proved Cruz right, and made me more okay with my decision. I think a vote for Trump is a wasted vote.

As for Hillary, yeah, I still hate her, but I hate her and Trump equally now, and I think a Clinton presidency is better for the economy. So I don’t care if she wins. The markets like predictability and slow incremental change.
