Dog fighting has been occurring for centuries and involves training dogs to violently fight each other for entertainment and gambling purposes, causing immense suffering to millions of dogs each year. Several organizations were founded in the 19th century to advocate for laws against dog fighting and protect dogs from cruelty. Current statistics show that over 250,000 dogs are involved in fighting each year, with approximately 40,000 individuals actively participating professionally in America, mostly using pit bulls as fighting dogs. The document calls on readers to help report suspected dog fighting and join local animal welfare groups working to end this abuse.

La reciente aparición de tecnologías interconectadas que se funden con la vida cotidiana plantea una serie de interrogantes y desafíos para quienes trabajamos con productos digitales.
"Internet of Things", "Smart Things", "Ubiquitous Computing", "Machine to Machine Communication"... independientemente de cómo decidamos llamarle es necesario que empecemos a explorar estas tecnologías, sus posibilidades, implicaciones y limitaciones.
Visitaremos distintos (posibles) escenarios futuros de una complejidad progresiva. Discutiremos ideas y estrategias para participar exitosamente en en el diseño de experiencias no sólo de objetos individuales, sino de sistemas interconectados (casas automatizadas, ciudades inteligentes, etcétera).
A lo largo de este viaje analizaremos los retos frente a los que el Diseño de Interacciones deberá aprender, replantearse y evolucionar; así como las practicas que como comunidad podemos empezar a adoptar para estar preparados para este cambio.

Running Head: ANIMAL RIGHTS
ANIMAL RIGHTS 6
ANIMALS DO HAVE RIGHT
Every living thing has its own value and serves several functions in our planet. It is
amazing that in this time and era, the society is still not sensitized by animals and may perhaps be a cultural or economic issue. Killing and abuse of animals for different purposes is an evil that has invaded our world quickly, as we can see dirty, hungry and homeless animals everywhere. Animals are killed daily without compassion in farms, used for experiments in scientific research labs and other place. These animals are treated with cruelty before their death. While some claim that animals do not have rights, we need to treat them with love because they deserve our respect, they can go extinct without our help, they can’t speak up for themselves, and we have to respect the ecosystem. There exists much disagreement as to whether non-human animals deserve any forms of rights and what such rights entail. There is however much less disagreement in regards to the consequential effect of accepting animal rights. Animal rights seek to enlighten man on the cruelty of certain acts a matter of principle, and that there are some acts that are simply morally wrong when done to animals. This therefore means that there are some things that humans being should not do to animals at whatever cost and in whatever way. For example, if a particular animal should not be bred and later killed for food, such animals should not be subjected to such treatment. Such principality in this sense that animals should not be killed and that ought to be taken as final. No manner of humane and lavish treatment will be able to justify the end result of the animals being killed. The core basis of these animals rights is therefore that animals should be given an equal opportunity to lead their lives without man’s intrusion and slaughtering of them (Regan, 1987).
One of the worst things I personally consider cruel, is the slaughter of animals and the use of their skin to make fancy clothes. It is through cruelty that these animals are killed, where they are drugged and their skin taken off them while still alive. Such horrific acts must be stopped. According to PETA-an organization that supports animals rights, millions of animals are killed annually for use in the clothing industry; all this being done because of fashion. It is regardless whether these clothes originate from Australia, Chinese fur farms or Indian slaughter house because the amount of suffering that goes into each fur-trimmed jacket, leather belt of wool sweater is immeasurable. As we can see, animals are being killed every year just because there are people who considered fashion to be wearing of jackets or clothes made of animal skins. Such people should think and consider the pain and suffering they cause the animals every time they buy these clothes. I personally don’t buy these things because in my point of view, we don’t have th ...

f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.
