The Dogs were a 1990s hip-hop group consisting of Disco Rick, Keith Bell, Labrant Dennis, and Fergus "Cracked Up" Smith, best known for "Crack Rock," their hit single with the chant "Yo' Mama's on Crack Rock!" The group released three studio albums The Dogs in 1990, Beware of The Dogs in 1991 and K-9 Bass in 1992.
The group officially disbanded in 1996 when Labrant Dennis was arrested for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Timwanika Lumpkins, and her lover Marlin Barnes, a linebacker for the University of Miami football team. Dennis was convicted of the double-murders in 1998, and sentenced to death in 1999. Dennis remains on death row.
The Dogs is the self-titled debut album released by the rap group, The Dogs. It was released on March 28, 1990 through Joey Boy Records and was produced by the group's leader, Disco Rick. The album found mild success, peaking at #37 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and featured the group's most well known song, "Crack Rock".
Brazil (i/brəˈzɪl/; Portuguese:Brasil[bɾaˈziw] ), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese:República Federativa do Brasil, listen ), is the largest sovereign state in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world's fifth-largest country, both by geographical area and by population. It is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world, and the only one in the Americas.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491km (4,655mi). It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies 47.3 percent of the continent of South America. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brasil, also known as Hy-Brasil or several other variants, is a phantom island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland. Irish myths described it as cloaked in mist except for one day every seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached.
Etymology of the name
The etymology of the names Brasil and Hy-Brasil is unknown, but in Irish tradition it is thought to come from the Irish Uí Breasail (meaning "descendants (i.e., clan) of Breasal"), one of the ancient clans of northeastern Ireland. cf.Old Irish: Í: island; bres: beauty, worth, great, mighty.
Despite the similarity, the name of the country Brazil has no connection to the mythical islands. The South American country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (Island of the True Cross) and later Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross) by the Portuguese navigators who discovered the land. After some decades, it started to be called "Brazil" (Brasil, in Portuguese) due to the exploitation of native Brazilwood, at that time the only export of the land. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology "red like an ember", formed from Latinbrasa ("ember") and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium).

Inside Brazil’s Struggle To Treat Thousands Of Kids Born With A Zika-Linked Syndrome (HBO)
In the year since Brazil officially declared an end to the Zika outbreak, the aftermath has only just begun. An estimated 3,000 children have Congenital Zika Syndrome, the collection of neurological disorders that afflict the babies of mothers infected with Zika during pregnancy.
And Brazil is already struggling to treat them.
The most recognizable symptom of Congenital Zika Syndrome — and the first sign that this particular outbreak of Zika involved a new and unprecedentedly strong mutation of the virus — is microcephaly, or an abnormally small skull. Vanessa Van Der Linden, a pediatric neurologist who was among the first to see a link between Zika and microcephaly, says that’s now understood to be only one of many symptoms.
“The child with severe neurological damage possesses a spectr...

MAN STARTS DOG FOOD DIET TO PROVE POINT ABOUT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES
January 2011
Las Vegas, Nevada- As of January 3, 2011, Michael Konowalski, a Las Vegas local, has started what he calls an "organic dog food diet" in which he will eat nothing but organic dog bones and food. The diet will go on for 30 days or more and is part of The Choice Project, a documented food challenge Mr. Konowalski created in January 2010 to prove that lifestyle changes are the most effective way of gaining or losing good health.
Mr. Konowalski says his reason for eating dog food is because he is trying to prove a point on how unhealthy Americans eat today. "It's a concept to make people realize that the dog food I'm eating is a...

In the year since Brazil officially declared an end to the Zika outbreak, the aftermath has only just begun. An estimated 3,000 children have Congenital Zika Syndrome, the collection of neurological disorders that afflict the babies of mothers infected with Zika during pregnancy.
And Brazil is already struggling to treat them.
The most recognizable symptom of Congenital Zika Syndrome — and the first sign that this particular outbreak of Zika involved a new and unprecedentedly strong mutation of the virus — is microcephaly, or an abnormally small skull. Vanessa Van Der Linden, a pediatric neurologist who was among the first to see a link between Zika and microcephaly, says that’s now understood to be only one of many symptoms.
“The child with severe neurological damage possesses a spectrum of complications, which can be anything from impaired motor functions, eyesight, hearing problems, and arthrogryposis, which are deformities of the extremities,” Van Der Linden said. Another is epilepsy; some severely affected children have seizures every few minutes.
Civil Society in Brazil, with help from local and state governments, has done its best explore new treatments for children as a response to the emergence of this new condition. But the number of children born with Congenital Zika Syndrome is straining Brazil’s already threadbare public health system.
"I think our greatest difficulty with Congenital Zika Syndrome was, suddenly, all at once, in under six months, having 400 children with severe neurological issues,” Van Der Linden said. "Even if we could build more centers [to treat them], there is no one to hire to staff them.”

MAN STARTS DOG FOOD DIET TO PROVE POINT ABOUT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES
January 2011
Las Vegas, Nevada- As of January 3, 2011, Michael Konowalski, a Las Vegas local, has started what he calls an "organic dog food diet" in which he will eat nothing but organic dog bones and food. The diet will go on for 30 days or more and is part of The Choice Project, a documented food challenge Mr. Konowalski created in January 2010 to prove that lifestyle changes are the most effective way of gaining or losing good health.
Mr. Konowalski says his reason for eating dog food is because he is trying to prove a point on how unhealthy Americans eat today. "It's a concept to make people realize that the dog food I'm eating is actually better than the standard American diet." He believes no certain pill or diet is the answer to being healthy but rather a choice to change in the way one lives.
Mr. Konowalski started the first installment of his choice project when he went from being fit and eating healthy to "letting himself go" by eating anything he wanted, including fast food and performing limited to no exercise. He quickly became out of shape and continued living that way for 11 months. It was followed by the second installment - a month dieting on only double cheeseburgers with extra mayonnaise. After 3 days into the third and final installment - the dog food diet - Mr. Konowalski has already lost 7 pounds and says he will go back to his former healthy lifestyle of staying fit and exercising regularly once the dog food diet is finished.
About Michael Konowalski
Michael Konowalski was born in Poland and now lives in Las Vegas. He is currently pursuing and documenting The Choice Project and also works as a nutritional consultant.
