They say the Golden Age of air travel is over. But if your anxiety is assuaged by the soothing bleats of an emotional support goat, now is a magical time to fly. Ever since the 1986 Air Carrier Access Act was passed to let seeing-eye dogs on planes, the definition of what constitutes a helping animal has stretched to a point where miniature horses and capuchin monkeys are permitted to fly. All you need is a doctor's note, a service animal registration ($64.95 online, vests and buttons included) and a critter that fits on your lap or inside your row. Cost for a therapy pet to travel: zero.
It's a recipe for misuse, and data suggests that's exactly what's happening, with service-animal registrations rising from 2,400 in 2011 to 10 times that number in 2015. The zaniest anecdotes (like the "support pig" ejected from a D.C.-bound plane after it relieved itself in the aisle or the "therapy turkey" whisked via wheelchair onto a recent Delta flight) tend to go viral. But the habit has become particularly commonplace on the LAX-JFK route favored by fussy celebrities and industry execs. "Now I don't even react when an agent tells me there are three support animals on board," says Heather Poole, a flight attendant for a major U.S. airline. "I just pray they're not too big — and that it's a dog and not a goat."
Surprisingly, the proliferation of mile-high menageries hasn't caused a rise in catfights. "I haven't seen anyone go into a rage over an emotional support animal," says Poole, "though I have had passengers who refuse to sit next to them."

Following the Panama Papers, Putin only dropped 7% in Russian favorability polls, but in a surprise move he has just reorganized (eliminating some) Russian security services into a "National Guard" under himself, alone.
>With the price of oil having dropped by almost $100 per barrel and the economy shrinking, the Kremlin had to come up with a plant to prevent or control public anger. “There are two ways to compensate for this $100 per barrel,” pro-Putin political analyst Yuri Krupnov told The Daily Beast. “Either offer a major industrialization, develop a few dozen industries, or tighten the bolts, keep people under pressure.”

>"In calling for a national guard, and appointing Zolotov as its commander, Putin could be fortifying his administration against the threat of a coup," it said. "This may suggest that the Russian president doubts whether other security forces, the FSB, Interior Ministry troops or even the military would remain loyal to him in the event of a coup."

First week on the Internet?
A 72-year-old Tucson woman and her dog survived nine days in the wilderness of the White Mountains, thanks to her quick thinking and survival skills.
Ann Charon Rodgers left Tucson March 31 to travel to Phoenix to visit her grandchildren, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Rodgers got lost on a remote stretch of a back-country road near Canyon Creek on the White Mountain Apache Reservation. She then ran out of gas and depleted the charge in her hybrid vehicle.
Authorities say Rodgers then climbed several ridge lines to try to get a cell phone signal.
I had made the decision that I could go no further, Rodgers said. I was losing too much focus.
When that failed, she found shelter, water and food.
For the next nine days, she and her dog survived by drinking pond water and eating plants.
She even built a distress signal, using sticks and rocks she found on the canyon floor to spell out the word, "help."
On April 9, a tribal Game and Fish officer found Rodger’s dog walking out of the Canyon Creek area.
An air crew spotted Rodgers' distress signal and found a hand-written note on a rock, indicating Rodgers had run out of food and water and was proceeding down the canyon.
The rescue team discovered a shelter abandoned by Rodgers, and found her a little further down the canyon, standing next to a signal fire and waving to the helicopter.
I was sobbing, Rodgers said. Of course, I had been waving my big red bag around like crazy.
DPS said Rodgers was suffering from exposure, but was in fair condition and able to walk to and board the helicopter with little assistance. She was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Payson for treatment. But now she's doing OK.
Enjoying every moment, Rodgers said. Loving the food I'm eating for darn sure and saying thank you.
Rodgers said she learned how to live off the land after taking some survival courses.

>>38488
>>38518
>Hybrid vehicle
Although I'm happy she was found, it sounds like she walked very far away from where her car was. The first thing you do when lost is remain in your location.
I'll bet that she would have been found in 24-48 hours if she stayed with her car, instead she exhausted herself climbing hills and carting around rocks and logs to spell "Help" like she was in the movie castaway.
Stay with the car on a remote access road and get rescued by hunters, offroaders or prospectors almost immediately.

Without water you might not survive 48 hours, depending on the climate. For an elderly person, maybe not even a full day. If you don't know how long you're going to be in a situation like that and you don't have any water with you, you should start looking for water immediately. Looking for cell signal is also not a bad idea if nobody knows you're missing.
If you're hiking or something and people know to look for you if you don't come back and you've got enough water to ration for a while, then staying put is the right reaction to getting lost. In this situation, though, looking for water and radio signal makes sense.

A suspect in the rape and killing of a 3-year-old pit bull mix is being held in Thurston County jail on $50,000 bail.
James Leroy Evans is accused of first-degree animal cruelty. Investigators say he told them he killed the dog named Diamond because it killed his iguana.
Diamond worked as an emotional support service dog for an 8-year-old boy. She had been temporarily staying with Evans who was a relative of the owner. He offered to watch her while the owner found permanent housing that allowed dogs.
"What I know from family members is that he's got an explosive personality. He's got some real anger issues," said Thurston County animal control officer Erika Johnson, who originally named the dog 'Justice' after she was found by a mountain biker hanging from a tree branch in the Summit Lake area of Thurston County on March 22. diamond
Veterinary necropsy showed that that the dog had been aggressively sexually assaulted before being hanged. The dog died of asphyxiation.
In court records, authorities said Evans "seemed pleased with himself" over killing Diamond. "I believe that Mr. Evans felt like he was doing the right thing by putting her down," Johnson said.
Evans is a felon from Grays Harbor County whose criminal history includes domestic violence, burglary and controlled substance charges.
He was identified thanks to tips from Washington's Most Wanted viewers. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 26.
Pasado's Safe Haven and Thurston County Animal Services are working on plans for a public memorial for Diamond.

>BUCKLEY AFB: Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work told reporters today that ISIL is under tremendous pressure from the United States — “from every single direction, the north, the east, the west and the south” — and the terrorist group has lost every engagement with allied forces over the last six months. That apparently includes in cyberspace.
>“I’ve got to tell you right now it sucks to be ISIL,” he told us on his plane en route to the 32nd Space Symposium. “Those guys are under enormous pressure. Every time we have gone after one of their defended positions in the last 10 months, we have defeated them. They have left. They have retreated. They are hunkering down.”
>That includes using all the instruments of national power, including for the first time, the use of what Work called “cyber bombs.” He credited Defense Secretary Ash Carter with being “extraordinarily innovative in his use of our capabilities against ISIL. So for example, we are dropping cyber bombs. We have never done that before. It is the first time he has given Cyber Command guidance we’re going to go after ISIL. Just like we have an air campaign, I want to have a cyber campaign. I want to use all the space capabilities I have.”
>Carter hinted at the use of cyber weapons when he spoke at the Center for International and Strategic Studies on April 5: “I’ve also brought Strategic Command and Cyber Command into these operations as well, to leverage their unique capabilities in space and cyber to contribute to the defeat of ISIL.”

>A northern Illinois resident who died after being diagnosed this year with a blood infection known as Elizabethkingia had the same strain of the bacteria linked to more than a dozen deaths in Wisconsin, health officials said on Tuesday.
>Neither the resident's age nor many other details were released, but Melaney Arnold, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), said the individual had suffered from underlying health issues.
>IDPH officials have sent alerts to hospitals requesting they report all cases of Elizabethkingia and save any specimens for possible laboratory testing, Arnold added in a statement.
>The infection has infected 48 mostly elderly people in Wisconsin, killing 15. Both Michigan and Illinois have each reported one death and one person infected, the statement said.
>The patients who died in Wisconsin had serious underlying conditions, health officials have said, and it remains unclear whether the bacteria caused all the fatalities.
>Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois investigators are working with Atlanta-based The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to determine the possible source of the bacteria

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has issued a proposal to return a sculpture of the Queen Victoria, made by Irish sculptor John Hughes in 1908, to Dublin's planned new pedestrianised plaza at College Green. The statue is currently in Sydney, Australia, where it has stood outside the Queen Victoria Building since 1987, when the Irish government donated it on permanent loan.
So far this proposal has proved extremely controversial, with protesters adamant that it is an "unwanted relic of a bygone era", while those in favour of the statue's return argue that it is an accomplished piece of art by an acclaimed Irish sculptor, one that we should be proud of regardless of its historical relevance.
