I've given all the feedback I can possibly give on my class. Blizzard knows exactly what the Warlock community reasonably wants and doesn't want at this point. If we're not getting it, it's because they don't want to give it to us. Pure and simple. Or else they would say so. I post just to pass time now.

The story of successful businesses starts with blogging that has become visible for both customers and search engines. This is what makes the businesses prosper among the competitors in search engines.
Business blogging is all about marketing tactics that use the blog to get business to attain more visibility online. In other words, a business blog is a marketing channel like social media, email marketing or direct mail that supports your business growth.
What was blogging in the past?
Earlier, the blog was the place where you love to share your personal life experiences with friends, acquaintances and the entire world. Starting from photos of different places you have visited blogging about your favorite foods to sharing your personal information, blogs will include almost everything.
The social networking website, Facebook had been launched in 2004 but it was not so popular than what it has been now. With social media gaining popularity, people found it easy to share their personal stories on Facebook and Instagram than writing an entire blog post.
More than 250 million people like to share their personal life on Instagram and you only need to use your phone for a few seconds for doing it. This is why more people use social media regularly than going through a blog.
If you want to update your friends about your life, it is easy to upload photos on Facebook. This is the reason why people focus their attention on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and LinkedIn over blogging.
Why do people create blogs continuously?
The main reason why blogs have gained popularity is that you are an end user and consume the content that blogs share.
⇒ You have full control of your own destiny – Social networks have made restrictions regarding the number of friends who can view your content. Creating your own blog means you will have more control over your future. You may collect emails to get back people to your website and create push notification subscriber list to rank your content on Google. It is quite easy to get continuous traffic from the blog than from social media profile. This is becoming more important since the top referral sites are sending less traffic to other websites.
⇒ Paid advertisements are costly – The biggest search engine, Google has generated almost 6 billion dollars in advertising revenue in the year 2005. However, this number has increased by 95 billion in 2017. With advertisement costs on the rise, you do not have any choice as a businessperson but to search for other traffic channels. A blog is a clear question since Google is in love with ranking text-based content.
⇒ Marketing has already moved to a multichannel approach – As a business owner, you will have to face more competition on the Internet that provides customers with wider choices. There arises an important question, ‘Why will customers prefer to choose you over your competitors?’ Well, branding has an important role and if you find a customer who hears about your products/services, then they are possibly going to be your customer. Thus, a blog will create an additional touch point.
SEO is getting more and more competitive and a huge percentage of people are using Google when searching for similar search terms. With more number of people browsing the Internet, it does not mean that they always search for new keywords.
Rather, it only means that the popular search terms are becoming more popular. Hence, it is quite difficult to get people for visiting your site over the competitors since you are competing with the companies to get customers.
SEO London has now left no choice than treat it in the form of business. It requires time and money to generate good quality content and then promote it to drive more audience. Once you get visitors to see your content, it takes both time and money to convert them into your paying customers.
A blog is the only way for you to rank higher on Google and generate more traffic without paying for it with Google AdWords or Facebook Ads. If you are really interested in treating well, you just cannot think of treating your blog as a blog only. Rather, you will have to treat it like your business. Check out the steps to rank on top in search results.
⇒ Focus on writing good content – You will have to deliver quality content constantly in this competitive market. You just cannot afford to write the 400-word blog post like you had done in the year 2015. If you have joined a new niche, you will soon have more competition. If you do not have sufficient time to write your blogs, it is advised to hire a writer who can give content regularly.
⇒ Promote your content – Once you have given your best in producing quality content, it’s time to promote it. Though promotion is not that easy, you will still have to do it so that more people see your content and your business ranks on top in search results.
⇒ Focus on monetization – Usually, bloggers who reach this platform face some problem since the traffic increases their revenue. If you have more visitors to your site, it does not mean that there will be an increase in revenue. You will really have to work hard to convert visitors into leads and turn them into prospective customers.
⇒ Do not forget about voice – If you have followed the above three steps successfully, you will now have to think about voice. Nowadays, 40% of adults are using voice search on a daily basis and so, this should not be neglected. Make sure you have control over the voice search market before your competitors to stay on top in Google.
When blogging is done for the business purpose, the ultimate goal is to convert readers into buyers. So, you need to put effort into achieving that conversion rate.
You may link to sales pages within the blog posts, discuss what you want to do for people and play with the fact that you are a business owner having something to offer to customers.
Thus, blogging is a platform to help readers discover their business and make them feel excited about the bigger things that you want to sell through this online marketing campaign. | 2019-04-20T19:09:06Z | https://www.egyptobserver.com/importance-of-writing-blog-post-for-business/ |

Ideologi penerjemahan adalah suatu pandangan penerjemah dalam menerjemahkan teks. Penerjemah bisa condong ke salah satu dari dua ideologi yaitu domestikasi atau foreignisasi. Berikut pengertian ideologi, ideologi penerjemahan, serta perbedaan domestikasi dan foreignisasi penerjemahan (versi Inggris).
Ideology is a principle that its truth is accepted and believed by a community in society. According to Barthes (1957) ideology is a myth which has been steady in a community. Myth itself is defined as an understanding of a culture symptom that has been steady.
Ideology of translation is a principle or conviction about “right or wrong”, or “good or bad” in translating, it means that a translator has to think about the finest translation for source language’s readers and the most suitable and likeable translation for society.
Ideology which is “right”, “acceptable”, and “good” for readers is an ideology that complies with certain requirement. In this case, Venutti (1995) analyzes that there are two ideologies which are contrary.
The first is ideology which the orientation is the target language. It agrees with the expectation and taste of the readers who want textual translation that suitable with the culture of target language. The point is the output of translation should not be felt as a translation. It must be fluently read based on written tradition. For example, Mrs., Miss., and Mr. must be translated as Bapak, Ibu, and Nona. It is also applied in translating literary work or story for children; it must be served as original story and can be accepted as a part of our original culture not as a foreign thing. According to Venuti, transparency is rewriting them (source text) in the transparent discourse that prevails in English and that select precisely those foreign texts amenable to fluent translation. It’s connected with the economy that supported by taste building of politic. By political transparency (economical power) foreign works are domesticated and assimilated. Therefore, the cultural values of source language become “faded”, Venutti describes it as “imperialistic abroad and xenophobic at home”.
This is applied in translating cultural texts such as literary text, political text, religious text, and philological text. Therefore, when we connect it with V-Diagram (Newmark), the method which used is method that aim at target language, started from adaptation (the one furthest from source language), then approach to the source language by free translation, idiomatic translation, and the furthest from target language is communicative translation.
Nida and Taber say that a good translation is acceptable for target language. They call it as “transparency” and “domestication”. According to the supporter of this ideology, there are 3 key-terms; those are fluency, transparency, and domestication.
Another ideology is ideology which the orientation is the source language. A translation that is “right”, “acceptable”, and “good” is suitable with the taste and expectation of the readers and also publisher who want the existence of source language culture or for readers who think that the foreign culture will be useful for society.
This kind of translation is based on micro concept such as “transference” and ”decenttering”, and for the ideology is “foreignization”. Foreignization ideology by Venuti is an ethnodeviant pressure on those values to register the linguistic and cultural difference of the foreign text, sending reader abroad.
It means, according to V-Diagram by Newmark, the method which used is faithful translation and semantic translation that the orientation is the source language. For example, in translating English text we have to keep using greeting like Mr., Mrs., Miss, so the reader can feel the atmosphere of the source language culture.
Those foreign words which still used can we called as “Cultural Index”. The purpose is the readers can enrich their knowledge by reading something foreign. In other words, it is a form of foreignzation ideology by transference: translating with preserving source language values.
To sum up, there are two ideologies which are contrary. The first is ideology which the orientation is the target language, and the second is ideology which the orientation is the source language. Ideology of translation can affect to the process of cultural development in a society. Moreover, it can encourage the effort of economy publishing.

FAIRFAX, Va. (April 3, 2014) – Pests don’t discriminate based on types of buildings. They seek the most convenient food and shelter, which means they could even infest school buildings.
There have been reports of bed bugs, ants and termites in schools, forcing administrators to cancel classes until the problem is fixed. Some school districts have an integrated pest management plan on the books, so they are ready to act should these situations arise. | 2019-04-20T15:10:21Z | https://www.pestworld.org/news-hub/press-releases/school-infestations/ |
Information Security has been the top issue in the EDUCAUSE Top 10 IT Issues in each of the last 3 years. It will likely continue to be a leading issue on campuses in the future for several reasons, specifically, the increasing number and seriousness of external threats, the complex nature of managing IT priorities in the higher education ecosystem and the emergence of new technologies and services that need to be protected. On top of that, one of the biggest value propositions for implementing an information security strategy for many academic leaders and boards is to “make sure we are not called out in the press for a security breach”, and that is not a true or long term strategy.
The number of external threats is growing, and campuses are becoming more vulnerable to cybersecurity risks. The famous criminal Willie Smith once said, “I rob banks because that’s where the money is.” In terms of information security risks, Willie’s sentiments about following the easy money are just as applicable to chasing information in higher education today.
There is a large amount of potentially valuable information in higher education such as financial data, personal information and intellectual property which is attractive to malicious actors.
The proliferation of connected devices on campuses makes it harder to secure and protect all potential entry points.
Campuses have a large and diverse population of users who need to be educated on potential dangers, but who don’t always realize the issues or take them seriously. This means that it takes more effort and targeted training to get these users to understand the risks and become compliant with university policies.
Universities and colleges are also amazingly complex organizations and their scope for compliance regulations is wider and more complex than other industries. Not only do campuses offer services to students including online registration, billing, residential, food services and healthcare, they also support faculty with online collaboration and global research, administer a large portfolio of real estate and buildings, and manage significant data processing operations. This complexity contributes to the difficulty in applying controls that typically work in the corporate world to the higher education market.
Security standards and controls are nearly an anathema to academia as access, freedom to pursue learning, collaboration, research and outreach are more highly valued than regulations. As such, IT in higher education is often not centralized or standardized and is mostly governed through collaboration which makes it difficult to develop a mature information security program.
So, the short answer to the rhetorical question about whether to worry about information security in higher education is a definite yes.
What are the Top Information Security Risks in Higher Education?
A much newer threat that just recently appeared on the horizon is the alarming surge of cryptocurrency mining on campuses. Cryptocurrency mining allows “miners” to earn financial rewards for validating cryptocurrency transactions. Large student-populations are ideal for cryptojackers as students leverage free sources of electricity, high-powered computing resources and lax or nonexistent campus policies. Some universities have identified cyptocurrency mining as a security risk and a few, like Stanford University, have instituted policies specifically banning the activity.
Do You Have an Information Security Strategy in Place Now?
To get a sense of how college campuses are doing with Information Security plans, we asked the attendees at a Campus Information Security Workshop held prior to the EDUCAUSE Security Professionals Conference in April to self-rate themselves with respect to whether they have a documented strategy for their information security program. Only 29% of the attendees said that they have largely achieved this goal and have a written strategy in place. On the other end of the spectrum, 21% of the attendees stated that they have barely started documenting their strategy and another 25% stated that they only have slightly achieved this goal.
While this survey was not scientific or comprehensive, it provides a rough order of magnitude around the maturity of Information Security strategies in higher education.
Perhaps more than any other sector, information security in higher education has continued to develop in an ad hoc manner, almost necessarily in a reactive mode.
What does that reactive mode look like in reality?
The Information security umbrella covers several different areas, such as education, policy, compliance, risk management, incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Weaving these components together while reacting to new threats, technologies, and compliance standards is a real challenge. It is no wonder that users are confused about the direction and focus of information security.
There is an inevitable impact to the organization when security direction becomes a series of disjointed initiatives and policies. From within the information security office, it is difficult to see what you are accomplishing overall. Members of the campus community feel that they are subject to a steady stream of messages, rules, and new procedures, making it more difficult to do their jobs. As a result, they are less likely to help achieve a more security-conscious environment. Users lack a frame of reference to bring each new procedure and initiative together into a cohesive security direction.
Nearly all institutions have information security policies and procedures. Leadership recognizes the necessity of security. Projects are taking place, but the efforts lack cohesion. This scenario describes security organizations that are in the early stages of maturing into a formal program.
The Information Security strategy should be created and considered in such a way that it is built into an organization’s overall strategy. If the security strategy is not helping the institution meet its goals of educating students, conducting research and facilitating community outreach, then it is irrelevant and will not meet its goals.
In part 2 of our Information Security series, we will address how to move from a reactive to a proactive mode and how to gain control with a long-term Information Security strategy. | 2019-04-23T22:01:05Z | https://www.vantagetcg.com/should-we-worry-about-information-security-in-higher-education/ |
Installation Guides for All Aspect Tiles.
These peel and stick backsplash tiles couldn’t be easier to install. Unlike traditional metal, stone or glass tiles, with Aspect there’s no grout, mortar or spacers needed. You can peel the backing off the tiles and stick them to whatever surface you want. Okay, there’s a bit of surface prep that might be needed, but basically that’s how it works. Installing Aspect tiles is an easy project that will give your space a beautiful, modern look and make your neighbors jealous. Below is a quick overview of the installation process. We recommend before beginning your project that you read the full installation guide below.
Plan – There are many tile patterns, from basket-weave to herringbone to stack bond. Choose the design that best fits your style and decor.
Lay out & measure – Measure the area to be covered. Lay out the entire project on a flat surface, like a table or the floor before installing the tiles to be sure you have enough tiles and your design is correct. Using a chalk line, create at least one vertical and one horizontal reference line to guide tile placement.
Install Tiles – With proper preparation you can just peel and stick the tiles in place. | 2019-04-20T23:20:01Z | https://aspectideas.com/installation/ |
(Left) Stretched puff in 2009. (Right) Braid-out on flat-ironed hair in mid-2012.
Show more length. I'm officially going the heat route because I want to enjoy my length more. February will make it five years that I've been natural, and a huge majority of that time, my hair has looked shoulder-length (and sometimes, neck-length) because of major shrinkage. I didn't have a problem with that, but I'm just ready to enjoy (and show) my length now. From January through February, I will wear box braid extensions again. Then from February through December, I plan to heat style monthly (or bi-monthly) and wear a mix of jumbo twists and braidout updos. This will obviously impact the running of my usual 3in6 Challenge ... more on this later.
Maintenance over length. Up until now, I've been focused on growing my hair to it's maximum length potential. After grazing waist-length for some time, I believe that I'm approaching (or have reached) my terminal length. Also, after almost five years of being natural, I've grown less obsessed with length. That being said, I'm going into this heat routine knowing that length retention and heat usage may not mix well. So, 2013 will be more about maintaining the length that I do have. If I can also add to my length, that will be great, but it is not my priority.
Maintaining my kinks. I want to make it clear that I am not going into this heat routine with the intention of changing my coil pattern. I love my "kinks" and still want to wear them from time to time next year. The challenge will be using heat without altering my pattern too much.
Do you have any hair plans or resolutions for the New Year?
I just want my hair to grow. It's been two years and it's still super short. I wonder what's hindering it's growth. Your hair looks really good. Keep up the progress.
Maybe you can re-evaluate your detangling routine or how you protective style (if you are). I know that I lose a lot of length that way.
My goal is it eat healthier, and do more exercises. Also try to get some DC in to see if they actually make a difference. | 2019-04-22T18:39:04Z | https://www.healthyhairbody.com/2012/12/2013-plans-for-my-hair-body-and-soul.html |

Pamplona,is the largest city in the Navarre region of Spain. It was built by the Romans (74BC) on the site of the Basque village of Iruna and is named after General Pompey. Pamplona was a series of walled areas within a walled city as the Basque, Frank, and Jewish populations could not get along. The fortifications were completed in the 16th century and the inner walls were finally dismantled in the 19th century. Pamplona is now a lovely city of wide streets, many squares where people gather, green spaces and parks for children. There are numerous cathedrals, a grand citadel and city hall representing a mixture of Roman, Gothic and Neo-Classical architecture. We toured the town but only scratched the surface of it. It is a festive place and comes alive in the evenings. People spill out of the bars and restaurants. It is almost like a block party and the camaraderie is palpable. There is not enough seating so people stand or sit in the cobblestones and enjoy their vino and tapas ( “pintxos” in Basque). The pintxos are usually a bread or bun base with cheeses, meat, seafood and toppings we do not recognize piled on 3-4 inches high! They are amazing and 2 make a meal. Needless to say, Dad loves them. I stick to the ensalata which is always good.
Since Bayonne we have been travelling in the Basque country of France and Spain. The Basques claim to be the descendants of the first Europeans. They have their own language, customs, flag and coat of arms. Politically they are active but from what we have been told do not have a large following. Their violent actions have worked against them, it seems. However, signs are in Spanish and Basque and the languages are not at all similar. It is interesting that very few at hotels, shops and restaurants speak English. This is probably not the case in bigger cities or with young people.
We cannot leave Pamplona without mentioning the “Running of the Bulls”. It is not on now:-) However, the “encierro” is a major part of the Festival San Fermin, patron saint of Navarre and is held the 2nd week in July. The many young men we saw on crutches are all that remain of this year’s encierro. | 2019-04-21T06:50:57Z | https://walkingthecaminotogether.com/2014/09/03/day-5-pamplona-a-blessed-day-of-rest/ |

I love making homemade eggnog for the holidays. Since all the eggs I cook and bake with are fresh, laid by our own backyard flock, and have been handled properly, I feel confident making recipes that include partially cooked eggs.
This eggnog is a holiday tradition at our house. Our fresh eggs, along with scraped vanilla bean and freshly ground nutmeg, make it truly a guilty pleasure guaranteed to deliver plenty of holiday cheer. My recipe is pretty basic - adapted from a combination of Martha Stewart's Classic Eggnog recipe and Emeril's Eggnog recipe - and I always get compliments when I serve it to friends and family. It is a little more involved than some recipes, but so worth the extra effort!
Whisk the eight eggs plus the four additional yolks with the sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow and thick. Heat the 2 cups heavy cream (reserving the 1/2 cup for later), the milk and the scraped vanilla bean in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking just until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges.
Add about a cup of the milk mixture into the whisked egg and whisk to blend, then pour the egg/milk mixture into the hot milk in the saucepan and continue to cook (this prevents the egg from cooking before it is incorporated), whisking, for about 3-5 minutes, or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and allow to cool.
Once cooled, add the vanilla bean paste, nutmeg and liquors to the eggnog and stir well. In a small bowl, beat the 4 egg whites until soft peaks form and then gently fold into the eggnog. In a clean chilled bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the eggnog. Refrigerate until chilled, then garnish with additional fresh grated nutmeg and serve. | 2019-04-21T03:11:31Z | https://www.grit.com/blogs/fresh-eggs-daily |
Hopefully President Obama enjoyed his break from fund-raising, because just five months after the election he’s back to soliciting campaign contributions. While the White House is highlighting Obama’s push for federal gun-control legislation this week, the Washington Post reports that during his two days on the West Coast, he’ll also be headlining four fundraising events in the Bay Area, where donors will pay up to $32,400. In addition to raising money for Organizing for Action, his campaign apparatus reanimated as a nonprofit, President Obama is already committed to fourteen Democratic Party fund-raisers this year.
It isn’t unusual for presidents to do some fund-raising for their party after reelection, but it’s interesting that Obama has already committed to eight fund-raisers for upcoming House elections, while he only did five in the year before the 2010 midterms. “The increased attention on the House by Obama is certainly a sign that efforts to win back the House will be a big focus over the next few years,” says Brendan J. Doherty, author of the book The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign. It also seems like a sign that the insane fund-raising that took place during the presidential campaign will carry over into the midterms. Still, it could be worse. Doherty says that when the Democratic Party was trying to eliminate its debt after the 1996 campaign, President Clinton did 77 fund-raisers in one year. | 2019-04-25T00:05:22Z | http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/04/obama-still-fundraising-though-hes-not-running.html?gtm=bottom>m=bottom |
World first for groundbreaking young composer.
On Sunday 23rd February, the CBSO Youth Orchestra – the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s acclaimed symphony orchestra for 14-21 year olds – makes history. Jac van Steen conducts the world premiere of Black Rainbow, a new orchestral work by the young British composer Charlotte Bray in Symphony Hall, Birmingham – the city where she discovered her passion for composing.
Black Rainbow, is Bray’s second work for full orchestra, and takes its inspiration from the landscape of New Hampshire, USA, and a beautiful but very rare meteorological phenomenon. It was commissioned for the CBSO Youth Orchestra by the Feeney Trust – the latest in a long line of CBSO/Feeney Trust commissions that includes Tippett’s Piano Concerto, Turnage’s Three Screaming Popes and Thomas Adès’ Asyla. It’s the first item in a challenging programme, which will also include Stokowski’s rarely-heard but wonderfully effective “Symphonic Synthesis” of Wagner’ Tristan und Isolde and Strauss’ breath taking Also sprach Zarathustra: the CBSO Youth Orchestra’s first encounter with Richard Strauss. Directed by the renowned Dutch conductor Jac Van Steen – who enjoys a special rapport with this young orchestra – the concert follows a week-long intensive training programme during which the orchestra’s 110 players will receive individual coaching from members of the CBSO.
CBSO ensembles manager Richard Bratby explains: “The CBSO Youth Orchestra meets just three times a year, and the aim is to give these young musicians a professional-level experience. It’s hugely inclusive – the only entry requirements are ability and commitment – and for just £75 per course, they get to perform challenging repertoire with some of the world’s best soloists, conductors and composers. They play repertoire that would challenge even professional orchestras, and of course contemporary music is a hugely important part of that. Thanks to the Feeney Trust, the CBSO Youth Orchestra has already commissioned and premiered new works by Tansy Davies, Luke Bedford and Ben Foskett, and it’ll be giving the UK premiere of Mark Anthony Turnage’s Passchendaele in autumn 2014.
Tickets are available from Symphony Hall or Town Hall box offices in person, by phone: 0121 780 3333, or online:www.cbso.co.uk/concerts. | 2019-04-20T14:24:35Z | http://thebirminghampress.com/2014/02/cbso-youth-orchestra-to-premiere-new-work/ |

There is one small bump to the bottom rear cover of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket has some beginning edge wear to the spine ends and corners. "In 1971, during the combined meetings of the Pacific Dermatologic Association and the Mexican Societies of Dermatology in Guadalajara, my wife, Roberta, and I first saw and heard Dr. Dominique Verut's fascinating illustrated talk on preColumbian Mexican art and its relationship to dermatology and cosmetology." "The ceramic pathology of the pre-Columbian Americas is always a delight to the students of the history of medicine.

Matt Turner started with $500 in shop tools and now owns $50,000 in shop tools one and a half years later. His business, Whiskey & Wood, has exploded and he is currently working on furnishings for a restaurant in New Orleans. His custom handcrafted work can also be seen in Purple Door Coffee, St. Kilian’s & numerous homes in Denver. Sloan’s Lake is where Matt resides and some of his favorite local Sloan’s Lake places are SloHi & Toast. While working internationally, Matt has been shot at, been around land mines and almost been kidnapped! He enjoys being safe and happy in the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood.
Why did you choose Sloan’s Lake to do business in?
Matt wanted to live and work in the same place. Matt previously worked for an international nonprofit (public health and economic development) and visited countries that included Kenya, Haiti, Somalia and Rwanda for two months at a time. He gave up his international position when his son was born. Matt also loves to bike (he takes his son Lawson with him) so being close to bike paths and other local businesses was ideal for him and his family.
Handcrafted wood working is trendy and the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood is trendy. Matt is living in his target market. Surrounding neighborhoods also love to support local business. You can purchase one of Matt’s custom cheese boards at St. Kilian’s in Highlands Square. You can also spy his work at Purple Door Coffee.
Matt is passionate about Whiskey & Wood for many reasons. Working from his home studio allows him to spend time with his son. Matt makes everything custom. His pieces are something he can make and see in people’s homes in the community which brings him pride. He also continuously develops goods relationships with customers – they become friends while he’s working on their orders.
More of the story: Matt intended for Whiskey & Wood to be a hobby and his business has really exploded. Eighty percent of his work is custom pieces for local businesses and families. Almost all of his business has come from referrals.
What inspired the look of your business & the design?
Matt describes the look of his business as very hipster. He goes on to say Whiskey & Wood’s design could be described as a rustic, western frontier concept combined with gentleman flare. Matt tries to capture these ideals into his work. Most of his customers are hipsters. Half of what he creates is made out of whiskey barrels.
Bobbi Kim is the Sloan’s Lake expert. | 2019-04-25T00:58:31Z | https://denvervibe.com/sloanslake-2/ |
Why is my converted video file bigger than the original file?
When you convert a video with Clipchamp Utilities, sometimes the resulting output file can be larger than the input file.
your input video is already compressed efficiently and cannot be compressed further.
your input video is encoded using an efficient video codec already (H.264, VP8,...) and cannot be compressed further.
your input video is encoded with a codec that is more efficient than the output settings you selected. For instance, this can be the case if you convert a video into WMV for Windows/Microsoft Office applications.
you convert an MP4 video to an ASF or FLV video. In these cases the resulting file will be larger than the input video because ASF/WMV and FLV are less efficient video codecs than MP4/H.264.
you selected an output resolution that's bigger than your video's original resolution.
In the customize settings, choose "Keep resolution" or a lower resolution than your original video (e.g. the smallest is 280p).
In the customize settings, select the "Low" quality output setting.
Try a different optimize preset, for instance "Mobile" instead of "Web".
If you don't need a specific format, choose the MP4 format.
In the majority of cases, Clipchamp Utilities is able to significantly reduce your input video's file size, but there are some situations where the video processing technology we use behind the scenes is reaching its limits. We're sorry if your input video is one of the few where this occurs. | 2019-04-19T19:08:17Z | https://help.clipchamp.com/utilities/troubleshooting/why-is-my-converted-video-file-bigger-than-the-original-file |

China's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping has launched an official online map service called Map World. It allows users to explore and search for specific locations.
The service is simple to navigate, even though it's in Chinese. A zoom slider on the left and various views (map or satellite) populate the upper right corner. Zooming into most parts of the world will only result in a blank page after a certain zoom level, except in China and Taiwan where the images are available in higher resolutions.
The 2D part of the service is similar to Google Maps, and works quite well in Firefox on a Windows system. A 3D viewing tool, that should make the viewing experience similar to Google Earth, is also available, but it was not functional for us.
The official Chinese mapping service could spell trouble for Google Maps in China. According to Asiaone News, 31 companies have been granted a mapping license, including Nokia, Baidu, Alibaba and others, but Google China hasn't officially submitted an application.
Still, the Google Maps service is currently available (in a censored form) in mainland China at the address ditu.google.cn.
The map is available at www.tianditu.cn or www.chinaonmap.cn. | 2019-04-24T08:45:41Z | https://mashable.com/2010/10/22/china-map-world/ |
Let me take you back to your high school English class. Don’t worry, the rest of high school you can continue to forget! Now if you will recall that series of classroom lectures on rhetorical appeals . . . remember that? Ethos, Pathos, and Logos? When I bring these up with authors, many of them ask how these could possibly apply to their writing. They write fiction/memoir/biography/business/children’s . . . etc., not essays or academic works. In reality, you likely use them without even thinking about it. But putting a little thought behind them can really grow your writing. You’ll even be surprised how helpful they can be in daily life if you think to apply them. Let’s break them down.
Who is your audience and how are you connecting with them on an emotional level?
What are your character’s strengths and flaws? Are they relatable to your audience?
Is the conflict in your story resonating with your readers and how they see and experience the world?
Logos could be used to outline how your world functions—be it government, religion, social structure, etc.
You might also outline the rules for how space travel, time travel, or other complex machines/concepts operate.
If a story takes place in a real-life setting, you’ll want to make sure that those places or elements are factual (unless the change is intentional, and even then it still has to be plausible).
You might hint at or explain a character’s motive for certain actions or opinions using their previous experiences.
What is your character’s background and how will that affect the storyline? You could also background information to explain why your character is an expert in something.
When marketing your book, do you have a unique perspective that gives your story credibility? For example, the author of a detective novel should use their twenty-year background as a homicide detective as a marketing point.
There are two other logical appeals, though they are used far less frequently.
Telos is the purpose of a speech, and keeping it in mind for characters can be very helpful. What is their purpose or intention in what they are saying; what is their motive?
Kairos is the other logical appeal that gets lost in the mix today. This is using your setting—time and place—to its greatest effect. In terms of creative writing, it can be used to determine how certain elements play out. Maybe your character’s big speech would be more effective in a different setting or at a different point in the story. Reflect on motive and setting together as you are editing your story to make sure you are getting the most out of your scenes.
Whether you plan out your books in advance or free-write them with only a bare minimum of structure in place, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos can be useful tools in your writing arsenal. If you are a planner, use them to develop your outline and structure the development of your story and characters. If you are a free-writer, keep them in mind as you write and then use them as an editing tool. Review your draft and look at it analytically. Develop your story, characters, and scenes with the active intention to use all three collaboratively and in new, creative ways.
Don’t forget, you can also ask your beta readers and editors to keep these in mind as they read and give feedback. Develop a list of questions for readers to consider either while reading or after finishing. Do the events play out in a logical way? Are the motives behind why characters made certain decisions clear? Do the characters elicit the correct response from your readers? Don’t be discouraged if your readers have differing reactions, that is completely normal. Instead, look for trends and then address anything that seems to be a consistent issue.
Now, go out and Ethos, Pathos, and Logos your way to writing success!

Great article! Really useful information.
Thanks Lisanne, I’m glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the blast from the past, Kim. Good lessons to keep in mind.
Seeing as how I didn’t pay attention in High School, this was a new experience for me. I will go back and compare my writings to these lessons, hopefully I’m using them intuitively. But if not, I will make them a part of my writing from here on. | 2019-04-18T23:25:52Z | http://ocwriters.network/2018/03/20/ethos-pathos-logos/ |
Elise and Stuart Whittaker own ‘Giraffe & Hobbit’- a wine company, the name came about as a poke of fun at their striking difference between their respective heights.
The couple’s efforts to trade mark their company name have been opposed by American company, The Saul Zaentz Company- the owners of the trade mark Hobbit. As such the couple are set to appear at a hearing at the Intellectual Property Office in Newport on March 30 2016 after they were issued with a notice of threatened opposition.
The term Hobbit was coined by author JRR Tolkien to describe the diminutive creatures that feature in his bestselling novels, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.
The couple launched their business about 15 months ago, their company specialises in importing French wines from tiny vineyards. The unique name was chosen as a result of their 4-inch difference in height. | 2019-04-18T18:43:42Z | https://www.lawdit.co.uk/reading-room/the-hobbit-trademark-battle-surrey-hobbit-giraffe |
Just two years ago, my desk at work was located in a tiny corner of our CEO’s office. I was only the third employee at ScoutComms and we weren’t even big enough to justify taking over a second room in our building.
Today, we’ve overtaken an entire floor of the historic building that is ScoutComms Headquarters and we’re quickly outgrowing this space (if we hire another person they may just find themselves sitting on the floor). In just two years, we’ve more than doubled in not only employees, but in clients, too.
This summer has been one of tremendous growth and development for our team. Since July, we’ve added three new full-time Account Executives to the team. We’re thrilled that Allison, Kirstie and Danielle have joined our company and will help ScoutComms increase our impact on veterans and military families.
In college, Allison completed internships with three nonprofits, Families First, Susan G Komen Central Indiana, and VoiceBox media. One of her closest mentors was a Vietnam veteran, and his story deeply inspired her to help make change in the military and veteran community.
Allison currently supports our clients through social media management, writing, editing, media outreach, and much more. We can’t wait to see her continue to grow as part of our team!
Danielle joined our team in August after graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in communication and rhetorical studies. Before making the move to ScoutComms, Danielle interned at the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, assisting with their Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship program. The IVMF is a long-time client of ours, and Danielle learned a lot about the major issues facing the military and veteran community by working there.
Danielle also comes from a military family. Her father served in the U.S. Navy for more than 20 years and was deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of operations Iraqi Freedom, Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom.
We’re thrilled to have her on the team!
Kirstie Breland is the most recent addition to our account executive team, but she’s not new to ScoutComms. We’re proud to say that she has been a graduate student intern with us since January 2016. Kirstie is a master’s candidate at American University in health promotion management with a concentration in health communications, and was drawn to ScoutComms because of her interest in veterans’ access to mental health resources.
Kirstie comes from a deeply rooted military family; her father is a Navy veteran, her grandfather is an Air Force veteran, and her brother-in-law is currently on active-duty Navy.
Kirstie has already supported many clients throughout her time here at ScoutComms. She has worked on projects ranging from communications audits, to analyzing trends in the sector, and raising awareness of events and opportunities for veterans and families. | 2019-04-20T02:52:48Z | http://scoutcommsusa.com/2016/09/27/834/ |

The decades-old Russian bakery in the Richmond will take over the former La Victoria in the Mission.
If there’s one thing the Richmond does right, it’s dumplings. The Avenues are littered with noodle houses and dim sum joints that dish out some of the best in the city. And there’s no better time to enjoy these pillowy pouches than during the seasonal holiday intermission, when we could all use a little break from turkey. But instead of the usual XLB or har gow, I had a hankering for something a little more European.
Walking into Cinderella Bakery & Cafe on Balboa Street and Sixth Avenue is like stepping into the kitchen of the Russian grandma you never had. Unlike any other corner cafe serving c, the 65-year-old Cinderella is like a factory. Equipped with a massive kitchen, what seems like hundreds of Russian bakers walk around, kneading dough, and prepping pastries. The yeasty aroma of rye bread baked daily wafts out of the propped-open back door and down the street. Giant glass cases are full of cakes, pastries, and tarts — but also piles of piroshki with cabbage or beef and potatoes, and rows of croissants made with almonds, chocolates, and raisins. Above the wonderful display of baked goods and behind the coffee counter is a chalkboard with an extensive list of Russian delicacies from shuba (a traditional herring salad) to blinchiki with caviar (Russian-style crepes), plus dishes like borscht and beef stroganoff.
Although Cinderella’s menu would take many visits to explore in full, it’s the boiled dumplings that will keep you coming back. Pelmeni are similar in size and shape to traditional Chinese jiaozi, and at Cinderella, they’re filled with beef and pork, served in a chicken broth with a side of sour cream and sliced rye. Floating in the clean salty broth, these dumplings are soft and savory with a splendid, meaty chew. The other options are the vareniki, filled with either potato, cheese, or cherries. Also served with a side of sour cream, these are similar to pierogis or potstickers, but with a starchier texture. These tasty morsels are not only delicious, but they are the perfect happy-hour snack to enjoy with a beer while sitting on a sunny sidewalk by the park.
Although Maldonado family squabbles at La Victoria left 24th Street without its beloved Mexican bakery, Cinderella owners Mike and Marika Fishman recently announced — and not without some pushback — they’ll be taking over the 3,000-square-foot space, with a wholesale and retail component. I’ve been visiting Cinderella’s first location since moving to San Francisco and thankfully it hasn’t changed a bit. Walking by in the morning just to smell the fluffy fresh loaves can easily cause you to walk home with one under your arm. What can I say? I’m only human. | 2019-04-23T20:09:52Z | http://www.sfweekly.com/dining/go-eat-this-now-dumplings-at-cinderella-bakery-cafe/ |
This post will show you how to refill the HP 74 black ink cartridge in four easy steps.
The HP 74 black ink cartridges are known for their high page yield and solid performance, they yield up to 200 pages even after been refilled. If you choose to refill them with pigmented ink you could get more pages out of them.
We recommend setting this cartridge in saving mode and have it print in quick drafts only if you plan on using this cartridge extensively.
HP deskjet D4260; HP deskjet d4360; HP officejet j5780 all-in-one printer; HP officejet j5740 all-in-one printer; HP officejet j5750 all-in-one printer; HP officejet j6450 all-in-one printer; HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c5250 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4210 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4250 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4240 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4280 all-in-one; HP photosmart c4385 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4345 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4450 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart C4440 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4435 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4480 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4599 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4580 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c4550 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c5240 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c5280 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c5360 printer; HP photosmart D5345 printer; HP photosmart c5580 all-in-one printer; HP photosmart c5540 all-in-one printer; and HP photosmart c5550 all-in-one printer.
We recommend cleaning the contacts on your printer before starting the refilling. It is not mandatory but necessary especially if you have not used the printer for a long period of time, dried ink might cover contacts on the printer.
Put your ink cartridge on a flat surface where you can easily refill it, to protect the surface from ink spill you might cover it with an old piece of clothing.
Slowly remove the sticky label from the cartridge, the one with the color and the number on it. You will put this label at the end so do not discard it. some people choose to refill the cartridge with the sticky label on it, we recommend removing before to allow air to enter the cartridge.
Now you can add 17 ml of ink inside the cartridge, inject it as slowly as possible to allow the ink to properly circulate inside the cartridge and be absorbed by the cartridge sponges.
After refilling the cartridge, you will need to print a test sheet. But before putting the cartridge back inside a printer to print the test sheet you will need to leave the cartridge out for a couple of minutes to allow the sponges to completely absorb the ink.
We always recommend printing a test sheet after refilling the cartridge, clean the link to learn how to it How to print a test sheet.
2. Also, clean the printer contacts.
3. If this does not solve the problem, turn your printer off for 10 minutes and disconnect the power cord. You may plug the cable back in the printer and place the cartridge in it after this time has passed.
4. If you still cannot solve this issue, please contact us by leaving a comment in the section below this post. | 2019-04-18T23:23:00Z | https://www.en.rellenadodecartuchos.com/2014/06/how-to-refill-hp-74-black-ink-cartridge.html |
1. The print and Kindle version of the book will soon be available. Stay tuned.
While still drafting my book in 2015, which will be published soon, I interviewed Arnold Snow- a masterful communicator, about Soft Skills.
…People are attracted to leaders who are skillful in motivating them to become more, do more, and achieve more. Belittling leaders who are limiting easily repel people. These kinds of leaders cannot tap into the unlimited potential of their people. They cannot take them to the next level.
Unfortunately, many think that the ability to motivate others is a gift than a soft skill that can be developed. And therefore, they don’t proactively invest their time and resources to learn how to motivate others. Even those who believe that this soft skill can be developed, they think that motivating others is all about giving pep talks, being charismatic, and exuding passion and energy to inspire others to do extraordinary things.
…With the opportunity to meet, interact, and work with diverse people comes the challenge to get along and succeed in what we do individually and collectively. This challenge is understandable. One may have extraordinary social intelligence when it comes to interacting and working with people who are within his/her native culture. The individual knows the customs, beliefs, and anathemas very well. Thus, getting along is relatively easy since he/she communicates, interacts, behaves, and acts according to the cultural codes without offending and entering into any kind of misunderstanding and conflict with others.
…I’d been a technical professional since the turn of the new century up until I decided to become a trainer in 2007. Between 2000 – 2005, I worked as a researcher for an international research organization. I also worked as a production operator and then a software engineer for a multinational corporation between 2005 – 2007.
These great opportunities gave me chances to work with so many outstanding technical professionals. The majority of these technically superb professionals, though experienced in their field of studies, they struggled to continually advance in their career and climb the corporate ladder due to lack of certain soft skills.
…It’s impossible to meet our corporate goals by solely depending on our people’s technical abilities. The workplace needs, more than ever, team members who have developed certain soft skills. The latter contribute toward more effective, harmonious, and fruitful work environment, which in turn leads to achieving irrefutable results collectively.
· Even take a key leadership position like in the case of Dan.
Society extraordinarily without developing these key soft skills.
Researches show that the lion share of success comes from soft skills than technical. Sadly, many professionals over depend on their technical skills. And thus, neglect to develop their soft skills proactively and in turn pay dire prices individually and cause havoc in their organizations. Common complaints such as high turnover, conflict, lack of synergy, and low levels of productivity in many of today’s organizations come down to lack of certain soft skills.
This book is based on the story of a successful professional , Dan Murphy who works for a multinational research organization- Global Health Research (GHR). Dan was promoted to lead a multimillion dollar project because of his superb technical skills as a researcher. Unfortunately, due to lack of certain soft skills, problems started to prop up. He couldn’t get along with his peers, and lead his team members.
After several attempt to help, verbal warnings, and then a written one for his file, his immediate boss- Susan Jeffrey, decided to remove him from leading the project. However, since Dan was one of the superstar researchers at GHR, this caused havoc and forced the CEO- Paul Gray, to intervene. Finally, Paul negotiated a deal, which required Dan to attend a three-part Soft Skills Development program, and to work with a mentor in order to continue lead the project.
The book narrates how the problem began, the negotiations, and the main discussion points from the mentoring sessions. The first part of the book covers the discussions among Dan, Susan, and Paul. Introductions of the remaining three parts (Mastering Self, Getting Along, and Leading Others) narrate the discussions between the trainer and attendees of the program. The 12 chapters narrate Dan’s one-on-one mentoring sessions with his mentor- Rafael Arthur.
Immediate actions he plans to take as a result of attending that particular workshop.
The story of GHR and its staff in this book is fictional but realistic. GHR and its employees serve as an illustration of common challenges many companies around the world may face because of lack of certain soft skills. As a former researcher and workshop facilitator for scientific and research organizations, the examples are based on my experiences though the identifying details have been changed.
The program Dan attended is composed of 12 interactive workshops necessary to master self, get along with, and lead others. These 12 soft skills are industry and culture neutral. In whichever industry and country you may belong, they empower you to achieve extraordinary success in your personal life, career, and business.
Speaking of extraordinary success, by default, we all strive to succeed. It’s within our DNA. By hook or by crook, every one of us goes the extra mile to succeed- to achieve more, and go to the next level. We all, individually and collectively, have a desire to succeed.
Of course, success is subjective. It’s in the eye of the beholder. What you consider success may not be recognized as success by someone else, and vice versa.
To achieve the success that you’re pursuing, you need personal mastery; you need to get along with, and lead others successfully. And, this book contains great insights, tools, and processes that empower you to develop the 12 soft skills that make or break your success in life, career, and/or business.
Sense of humor is one of the tools we need as leaders. It helps us to become approachable and a leader easy to work with. As leaders, we need our people to give us tough and constructive criticisms. We need them to take chances and willing to fail. We need them to feel safe to suggest ideas that may seem silly. Sometimes, the solutions that we need desperately may come from those ideas people discount as silly.
If we’re unapproachable, it becomes very hard for other people to work with us. If we’re too formal and too rigid all the time, it makes getting along with others a little tougher. It’s also unlikely to get serious feedbacks from others. Our people won’t be willing to take risk. They may not venture to speak their mind.
So far, some leaders resisted this recommendation. They came up with so many reasons why they cannot and/or won’t use humor in the workplace. Some of the justifications make sense. Nonetheless, one of the most frequent reasons that haven’t convinced me yet is: “We all aren’t gifted comedians”.
Yes, we all can’t make jokes every other minute like Trevor Noah and David Letterman et al. Yes, we all aren’t comedians. I myself struggle in this area. But, I learned to make jokes on my stumbling and myself.
By the way, you don’t need to make jokes on a minute-by-minute basis to become approachable and playful. There’re many opportunities around you, here and there, which you could tap into and become playful once in awhile.
Warning! If you aren’t a gifted comedian don’t make jokes, especially in the expense of others. The safest approach is, I found out that, making jokes on yourself and your stumbling, and so on.
Try it! You may find it helpful. However, note that if using humor and becoming playful isn’t appropriate and right fit to your organizational culture and the situation you find yourself, be creative to come up with other methods, using humor is just one of the approaches you may consider. Good luck!

Nepeta responds well to the Chelsea chop in May, giving you another flush of growth.
May is the month that sees the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show taking place. This year I am very fortunate enough to be able to visit all day on Friday 25th as part of my volunteering on the National Garden Scheme Stand during the show.
Most gardeners will have heard the phrase, the Chelsea Chop, but what is it and what does it mean. It’s a pruning technique used at this time of the year which helps to control and limit the size and flowering season of many herbaceous plants.
According to the RHS, there are three suggestions or methods to ensure the Chelsea chop is effective. Which method you choose will depend on the type of plant, how big your plant clump is and the effect you want to achieve.
a) Clumps of perennials can be literally be chopped back by one third to a half, using shears or secateurs. This will delay the flowering until later in the summer and keep plants shorter and more compact.
b) If you have several clumps of one plant, try cutting back some of them, but leaving others. This will prolong the overall flowering time as some will flower early and the others later.
c) Another method is to cut half the stems back at the front of an established clump, which will extend the season of flowering rather than delay it.
After you’ve cut back your plants, make sure you give them a thorough watering and some feed. Of course I always use Richard Jackson’s Flower Power to feed my plants.
I do have some plants in my garden that are very suitable for the Chelsea chop! I have a small bed of Achillea ‘Moonshine’ which can get tall and leggy, so cutting some of them back in May encourages the production of more flowers over a longer period. Another plant that it works well with is Nepeta, some of which I have growing under a sea buckthorn tree.
Some other suggestions for the Chelsea chop are heleniums, penstemons, sedums, echinacea and phlox!
These lilies are growing in the same pot when I inherited them from an aunt in 2004.
The Chelsea chop might be a well-known garden technique, but I’m sure you have many of your own tricks that you apply at different times of the year! One that always works for me is the excessive use of containers in the garden. Plant up more than you think you might need with plants that flower at different times throughout the season. Then when they have gone over, you can just lift out the pot with the dying flowers and drop in the fresh pot with those about to flower. This usually works well for me with tulips, lilies and some summer annuals. I prepare more than I might need so I can refresh them quickly, should any die before the season is out.
I’ve got an amazing container of orange and red lilies that belonged to my Aunt who died back in 2004, I inherited the pot and they always look amazing at the start of the season. I’ve left them in the same container and drop it into a space in the border so visitors can only see the flowers, not the pot, and when they go over, I just lift it out and replace them with something else!
A good technique that works well for me at Driftwood, bearing in mind that I have a eclectic collection of bits and pieces around the garden, both metal and ceramic. If a corner or area starts to look less impressive as plants go over, I tend to move objects around to ensure the eye is drawn to the art or object rather than the less than perfect planting around it. A good example is the beautiful ceramic hydrangea which can quickly fill a gloomy, shady corner when needed. I’ve also used these stained glass panels that I bought in a junk shop a few years ago. I had a local artist make the frames for them and set them on stakes, they are perfect for brightening up a hedge or border. Trust me it works a treat!

A milestone in modern science fiction and a New York Times Notable Book when first published in 1989, this is one of a great writer’s finest works.
©1989 Poul Anderson (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
What disappointed you about The Boat of a Million Years?
Poul Anderson has a wonderful imagination and doesn't hesitate to go into accurate detail of historical periods. The overall concept of the book is sound but the story does drag on at times.
Although I've enjoyed the narrators work before, this is not Tom Weiners' best work and unfortunately it does detract from the overall experience.
If you've liked Anderson's previous work I can still recommend this, but it'll be hard going for those not already a fan.
Was The Boat of a Million Years worth the listening time?
I read this book when it first came out in the late 80's, and it has been in my thoughts ever since. So for maybe 25 years I have, with some regularity, thought back to it. Very few books affect me in this way.I was delighted when it came out in audio form, and spent a whole credit on it.
I still have not finished it. The narration is the most uninspired and monotonous I have ever experienced in a audio fiction book. Akin to a bad lecturer in a subject I'm not really interested in.
Don't waste your credits for this terrible rendition of a wonderful book.
What did you like best about The Boat of a Million Years? What did you like least?
The concept was fantastic, but because it was shoehorned into one book, I feel that an opportunity to paint a more vivid landscape with each era was missed. The character development came up short as well. i found it hard to empathize with any of the main characters; they were not as deep as they should have been to make this a successful book in my opinion.
I would. A movie, with awesome CGI would make this story amazing. Film can set up eras with something as simple as an aireo shot.
Now that I have read this, i will take down my copy in my library and trade it for something that will fit better.
This book really does not get to the actual boat until the very end. Story was all over the place, broken and hard to follow. not science fiction until 80 percent done. I struggled to finish it. And i am a die hard sci-fi fan. Would not recommend to any one.
I can't start to tell you how bad this book is. Immortals eventually deciding to leave Earth for another star system. It was just as bad as Highlander 2 except the Immortals were not out to kill each other.
What would have made The Boat of a Million Years better?
Has The Boat of a Million Years turned you off from other books in this genre?
Characterization of voices confusing and acents too similar.
The author is great but this is his most disappointing work. | 2019-04-24T02:23:37Z | https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Boat-of-a-Million-Years-Audiobook/B0057IW38W |
Additional Projects. The number of articles that can be made from plastics is practically limitless—anywhere that its brilliant colors, finish and easy workability or any of its other many features fit in, provides another use for plastics.
PLATE 3Y. The turned cigarette-box described in Project 33, and a few more plain turned bracelet in mottled material. This project provides exercise in boring, lace-plate-turning, turning between centers and cementing.
PLATE 3z. (Left). The plastic chess-set, with all the beauty and finish of ivory, described in Project 35.
PLATE 4B. (Lower left) the finished copy of the carved Chinese Jade screen from Brooklyn Museum, described in Project 38, and PLATE 4A. lower right) photo of an-other object in the same collection offered as a suggestion for simplification and copying.
Fig. 64. The vanity set described in Project 61. The bass is made ap ef plastic sheet, or alternating sheets of plastics and wood. Various cosmetic bottles, lip-stick, etc., are set into the holes around the rim, and either a shaded or frosted ornamental bulb serves to light the face, which is reflected In the adjustable mirror below.
Some that might be suggested, covering fairly simple projects, are dice-cups, made from a short section of medium-sized cylinder with a bottom cemented in; batons for orchestra-leaders; checkers; curtain-pulls; cigarette-lighters; see Plate 4F; door-knobs: see Plate 4G; lockets; miniature statuettes carved; backgammon and other game boards and pieces, and so on.
"Extemporaneous" Designing Contemporary homecraft literature is full of designs and projects featuring plastics, either as the main or incidental con-stitutent of the design, and it is not hard for anyone to find a project that appeals to his particular taste.
But the writer, and no doubt hundreds of other craftsmen, has often been tempted to branch off in the middle of a project into something else entirely different, when struck by some particular combination of colors and shapes when working with this material. The material lends itself so readily to variation in design and creation of new designs that it is difficult to hue to the straight and narrow path. These comments, then, deal with variations alone, letting the blue-prints fall where they may.
We were making up a flock of bracelets for Christmas; one evening in our homeworkshop; they were all sizes and shapes and colors—rose-quartz, amber, amethyst, ruby, emerald, turquoise, and so on, scattered on the bench, finished and polished, and a few powder-boxes with them. In the rough, they were all just sections of bracelet-cylinder, in two sizes, one with the quarter-inch wall and one with the half-inch wall both of the 3 1/8 inch inside diameter. It was the tail-end of the evening, things were slowing up, and we started playing with the bracelets and cylinders, combining and comparing the various colors and shapes, until suddenly the idea struck us that these things were nothing but building-blocks—units out of which we could design and construct an unlimited variety of objects-de-homecraft-art.
The photos herewith Plate 4H, are some of the results of these casual experiments. Unquestionably, a little more serious thought would produce even more striking effects, but they serve to illustrate clearly the principle we have in mind—that designing in plastics is an entirely different process from designing in any other materials—you have your finished shapes and colors before you—just stack them one upon the other, try this and then try that, and you can see definitely and immediately what your finished product is going to look like. In this way you can guard against disappointments on something you have worked long and hard at without being able to visualize clearly in advance what it was going to look like when you finished.
Take the lamp made from the large "random-color" cylinder for instance. At least a half-dozen different combinations of bases and tops were tried before the one shown was determined upon—yet the entire job of setting up and deciding upon these six different combinations took less than five minutes altogether, and we were able to see just exactly what the finished product would look like, because the parts used in testing were finished parts.
The same applies to the cigarette-boxes, the powder boxes and the ash-trays—our coloring and the figures in the material were already done for us in the vulcanizing ovens of the plastics company the brilliant final finish had been put on with a buffing wheel, the colors we do not choose to use in the lamps or boxes still made beautiful bracelets, or could serve a dozen other uses, so nothing was wasted. Compare all this with the process you would go thru with wood or metal in achieving similar results.
It is a good idea to have quite a stock of different sizes and colors and cylinder and sheet always on hand. It is impossible of course to have a complete line so that you can instantly make up any idea you get, but you will soon find that even with only a half-dozen colors, using the method outlined above, you can always find two colors that harmonize well and make up into a beautiful design. The exact color you choose in plastics is not always so important, as its beautiful finish makes practically any color attractive.
Plastics is particularly suitable for use in lamps as the light is picked up by the translucent material and they seem to glow with life and warmth. | 2019-04-23T10:23:55Z | https://chestofbooks.com/crafts/plastics/Workshop/Additional-Projects-Made-with-Cast-Resin-Plastics.html |

In this near future, the surface is too hot to live and humans must find ways of preserving life without killing life, in the ocean. With ever-increasing water temperatures, few species are naturally equipped to evolve, yet this particular family of hydrozoa has been silently invading our seas. By harnessing the help of Turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish to transport us and incubate us, we find a solution. At journey´s end, the human cargo is expelled, causing the T.dohrnii to revert to polyp stage and begin its life cycle once more. | 2019-04-19T18:22:01Z | http://www.agathawhitechapel.com/archives/project/t-dohrnii-ships |

Join us for the sixth in a series of 'From Research to Practice' seminars jointly organised by Kingston Business School and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). The key feature of these seminars is that they bring together academic experts from Kingston University and leading practitioners.
An HR's director ability to deliver results that create value for organisations has been a subject of considerable debate. One of the key issues seems to be that all too often CEOs and other strategic leaders do not think HR directors have business acumen. This event provides both academic and practitioner perspectives on what it means to be the business savvy HR director.
Registration will open at 6.30pm, followed by the presentations between 7.00pm - 8.15pm. We then invite you to join us for a drinks reception.
Peter is the CIPD's CEO. He writes and speaks widely on the development of HR, the future of work, and the key issues of leadership, culture and organisation, people and skills. Prior to joining the CIPD in July 2012, he was Chairman of the Institute of Leadership and Management and a member of the Council of City & Guilds. Up until 2009 he had a long career at Accenture holding various leadership positions and culminating in a seven year spell as Global Managing Director, leading the firm's human capital and organisation consulting practice. Peter is a Fellow of the CIPD, a Fellow of AHRI (the Australian HR Institute) and the Academy of Social Sciences. He's also a Companion of the Institute of Leadership and Management, the Chartered Management Institute, and the British Academy of Management. He holds honorary doctorates from Kingston University and Bath University.

Students from across the state demonstrated their grasp of financial concepts and many won their school $1,000 in the process.
Iowa Student Loan®, in partnership with the Iowa Department of Education, the Iowa Jump$tart Coalition, Junior Achievement of Central Iowa and the Iowa College Access Network, offered cash awards to Iowa high schools that participated in the 2015 Iowa Financial Know- How Challenge. Thirty high schools were awarded $1,000 intended to improve the school's financial literacy programs and scholarship funds.
The Challenge incorporated the use of Iowa Student Loan's online financial literacy tutorial Student Loan Game PlanSM and the ROCI Reality Check into classroom instruction. With Student Loan Game Plan, high school students learned ways they could plan ahead and borrow less for college by making informed financial decisions. The ROCI Reality Check helped students discover their return on college investment through earnings potential based on major and career choice.
"I think the tools that are provided to the students are a valuable part of our curriculum," said Kurt Brown, a business education teacher at OA-BCIG High School. "It allows the students to see the real costs and some of the real benefits as well as what their options are. Anytime we can get more information to our students it is a positive thing. I appreciate the Student Loan Game Plan and the ROCI Reality Check."
The Challenge also helped schools address financial literacy requirements for the Iowa Core 21st Century Skills when educators use each tool alone or design their own curriculum. Iowa Student Loan continuously offers classroom guides that provide discussion and assignment topics, as well as a correlation to the Iowa Core.
"Up to this point my students had little to no knowledge about student loans. The Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge is a great eye-opening lesson for our students that relates to the Iowa Core," said Erin Hoffman, a business and computer teacher at Kingsley-Pierson High School. "The examples provided in the Student Loan Game Plan and the ROCI Reality Check helped my students relate to this real life experience. This is a strong financial literacy program that helps our students prepare for their futures and I look forward to using this educational tool again."
Winners of the cash drawing were randomly selected earlier this month from Iowa high schools that completed the Challenge. The following winners were chosen from the eligible schools.
The winning schools will each receive $1,000: $500 intended to improve or continue financial literacy programs and $500 intended for school scholarship funds. | 2019-04-20T09:25:30Z | https://www.iowastudentloan.org/who-we-are/newsroom/press-releases/2015/30-iowa-high-schools-win-$1,000-in-financial-literacy-challenge.aspx |
13. Don’t take 10 years to get your four-year degree.
Word to the wise: Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer or nuclear physicist, get your degree in four years – even if your major is Home Economics. One of my roommates chose that as her major and ended up being a real-estate appraiser making upward of $175,000 per year (well, the market was good once).
I’m still in college going for two BAs and on track to finish those both in 4 years, which will be completed by June 2013. The majors are Asian Literature & Culture: Chinese and Art (studio). The reason I choose them is because I have interest in those two things and nobody encouraged me to change my course of action. I have 2 quarters go, but still have no idea what the heck I’m going to do when I get out.
Now, although most people expect to get out and start working, I know that’s not going to happen for me. Not only am I 21 going on 22, but I don’t even know how to drive. Which means I couldn’t do any internships or off campus jobs for experience in fields to find out what I may or may not want to do in the future. So my suggestion is this: regardless of what you’re doing in college, please find ways to get experience learning out what you do or don’t want to do with your BA.
Took me seven. Just to be a graphic designer/art director. Though to be fair, none of my peers were able to complete their degrees in less than five or six. I started in fine arts and swerved over to visual communication, which was a minor detour. And an impacted program with a portfolio review tacked on another year or two. Still, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Totally worth it to do something you love. Plus, I had time to take all kinds of interesting electives. My mom always said, “knowledge and education are never a waste of time.” I agree!
Well, I wish I’d had your experience. I’m very glad to have my four-year degree, but boy, some of the detours I took – like two years of business classes – I could have done without. I don’t think I’ll ever appreciate Accounting I and II or Business Law…But yes, all totally worth it! | 2019-04-23T00:24:43Z | https://wisebefore25.com/2012/12/10/13-dont-take-10-years-to-get-your-four-year-degree/ |

I recently had a theme customer ask how to get rid of the Google plus link on their social menu.
My recent themes use a social menu setup similar to the one found in the TwentyNineteen theme. This involves setting up a WordPress menu, and then adding links to your social networks. The theme then uses CSS to target links based on the url, and replaces the text link with an icon.
The idea came from the theme team at wordpress.com, and I’ve been using it for two or three years now.
But this particular theme was made before the newer social menu code. So the social menus were setup with Jetpack Social Links. Except the interface for this no-longer exists.
The code still works, for backwards compatibility, but you can’t disconnect Google+ or the other networks.
The properties are accessed through get_theme_mod, but this is done with filters. They are actually stored in Jetpack Options. The only way I could find to delete them was by using the Jetpack_Options class.

Level 1 ribbons from Capt Hayes (C).
A very warm welcome to our two newest members, Carlo Chung and Paul Rainville, who both joined Squadron 188 in July!
Summer is clearly a busy period for Squadron 188. Once again, over the last couple of months, members volunteered a lot of precious time to participate in missions and events and to invest energy to renew ratings and continue their professional development. Congratulations – and thank you – to everyone.
Squadron members celebrating our squadron's second Unit Citation Award with a toast.
In August/September we were called for missions in California, Texas (hurricane Harvey) and Florida (sort of)...unfortunately, we were only able to actually help out with those in California!
7-Aug ELT mission @ KOAK, with Maj DeFord (IC), Capt Brown (MRO), Capt Coreas (UDF), Capt Stevulak (MO), 1st Lt Chavez, and 1st Lt Roberts (UDF) participating.
This has to be one of our quickest finds: total flight time was 0.6 hrs! Congratulations to Capt Coreas, Capt Stevulak, Lt Chavez and Lt Roberts for earning a Find!

According to 1st Lt Spears, "the location was Farewell Bend State Recreation Area, Huntington Oregon near Boise ID, right in the Snake River. Going to the eclipse was an amazing experience. Although I had done a lot of reading ahead of time and thought I knew what to expect, seeing the eclipse in real life, with the black spot with a bright corona in a noon-time darkness with sunset all around was one of the truly awe-inspiring moments I will remember for the rest of my life."

The health of animals is a concern and a priority for the Ontario swine sector. Animal health touches not only aspects of public health and food safety, but also the economic costs that animal disease out breaks can trigger as well as animal welfare considerations including the implications of disease control. Animal health measures and systems of disease surveillance, diagnosis and control help to strengthen the industry and ensure the continued production of high quality pork for consumers, retailers and trading partners.
The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs was released in 2014 by the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC).
Swine Health Ontario is a new leadership team with a long term vision of excellence in swine health management that gives the provincial swine industry a global competitive advantage.
Led by Ontario Pork (OP) and the Ontario Pork Industry Council (OPIC), a new course has been set to improve and better coordinate the swine industry’s capacity to prevent, prepare for and respond to serious threats to swine health in Ontario.
An independent swine health leadership team called “Swine Health Ontario” will ensure that swine health efforts are coordinated and aligned with a long-term proactive responsive strategy.
Building on its recent success that minimized the impact of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus in Ontario, the swine industry wants to continue that collaborative effort and improve swine health for the future.
It is a delicate balancing act for pork producers to maintain a healthy herd and ensure the responsible use of antibiotics. As antimicrobial resistance becomes a growing concern and the need for increased surveillance systems more pressing, Ontario producers continue to follow best practices, seek counsel from veterinarians and work within the regulatory requirements.
Some farmers may ask that you to take a shower or wear plastic boots over your shoes before you go into their barn. Other farms do not allow any visitors at all - people or animals. This is all part of a farmer’s biosecurity measures. Biosecurity is not only a locked door, but additional security to keep out bugs (disease-carrying organisms such as bacteria and viruses). Not allowing visitors into the barn helps to keep germs or sickness to a minimum. Pig diseases can be carried from place to place on individuals without them even knowing or being affected. Manure on footwear, bacteria on skin or even dirt under fingernails can contain germs. Farmers give their pigs medicine when they are sick, but prefer prevention over treatment.
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) is a viral disease causing vomiting, diarrhea, and high death loss in pigs. It is caused by a coronavirus. After introduction of the virus into a naïve sow herd, acute outbreaks of watery diarrhea will be seen. In nursing piglets the disease can be severe with mortalities reported up to 100%. In growing pigs, there is widespread diarrhea with low mortality.
Sampling has been ongoing at assembly yards, trucking yards and processing plants since January 25. Some positive samples have been found; many negative samples have been found.
Where positive samples are found, cleaning and disinfection is heightened. All parts of the supply chain are encouraged to maintain strict biosecurity to limit the virus’ spread.
Ontario Pork is committed to high standards of animal care, as outlined under Canada’s Pig Code.
Please note, as of April 1, 2019, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is no longer involved in livestock investigations or enforcement. Ontario Pork continues to work with government, police and agricultural groups to develop a sustainable, responsible and effective way forward.
If you have concerns about an animal welfare situation involving pigs in Ontario, please contact Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122 or your local police service. A listing of regional police services can be found here.
Additional information is available through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The Agriculture Information Contact Centre can be reached 24 hours a day, at 1-877-424-1300. | 2019-04-26T10:27:50Z | http://www.ontariopork.on.ca/Producers/Herd-Health-Pig-Code |

I think people are just being nice and not telling me that I have arms like an orangutan.
You need some more of them implanted in your arms so you are going to see the things you are about to knock over.
Maybe you are channeling or possessed by the spirit of an evil cat? Wait that’s redundant.
I could live with bad eyes if I had arms like that-they’re perfect for some rather good poses.
Naaaah… we can always cut your arms, problem solved.

Eek! There could be Game of Thrones MAKEUP on the way | SHEmazing!
The world is obsessed with Storybook Cosmetics, after they unveiled their Mean Girls Burn Book palette and Harry Potter makeup brushes.
Storybook Cosmetics wants to develop an amazing GoT brush set, highlighter, lipstick set and eye shadow palette, and we can barely contain our excitement!
The cosmetics company is currently in talks with HBO about getting the rights to create the collection, so fingers crossed it all goes ahead.
Taking to Instagram, Storybook Cosmetics shared a mock-up of what the potential collection will look like, and it's pretty damn good.
The highlighter takes inspiration from the the Iron Throne, with it's high metallic shimmer and multi-sword design, but we're blown away by the intricate fan brush.
The brush handle takes the form of a Named Sword, inspired by the shows Valyrian steel versions.
The eye shadow palette is also set to mimic the actual Game of Thrones novel, and the lipstick shades take their inspiration from the show's noble houses.
Fans of the series are beyond excited, and the post had received thousands of likes and comments.

I'm the younger son of the late inventor of these igloos and I just want to share this product with a wider audience.
Of tech interest, 2 Igloos are being used as meeting rooms in Google's Zurich HQ.
Would love to hear your thoughts on other possible tech related uses too.
I'm curious about the approximate price range. I'm imagining it's by part, but what would you say a basic cabin for 2 runs vs the winter quarters for 6 before shipping of course.
Prices start from $22,560AUD (about $17,236USD), for a basic cabin without furniture.
Because every Igloo is made to order and can may include additional wall panels and furniture then there is no set price range. Best to contact directly for further info.
Not nearly as solid, but inexpensive, easy to pack, and quick to set up. Tape down to a tarp to keep out the dust. Stake out to survive 50mph winds.
Pressurize in bio-warfare environments- assemble 2 together sharing a wall as an "air lock"... enjoy!
Warning- Does not keep out "rage zombies"
The yurt is a great and timeless design, but it's not really designed for the same longevity or environments as an Igloo.
The modern iterations on both of these ideas will have similar constraints (though modern materials can push the constraints further).
Challenge accepted. Everything melts under the right conditions.
Counterpoint: you can intermix an insulatory and a crystalline material to form a resistant composite.
Wood doesn't melt; it just burns.
Not that these don't melt; they're mostly fiberglass and polyurethane.
Well it certainly can't burn if there is no oxigen around.
edit: It seems it doesn't melt even then.
You can dissolve wood, if you have the right solvent.
That sounds like as close as we'll get to melting the stuff.
Lots of things sublime into gas rather than melt.
> Light enough to be flown fully assembled by helicopter.
Kind of an amusing phrase, though I imagine it makes more sense out in the Australian bush.
Even out there, it's a pretty rare use case. If you're somewhere so remote that you can't get there with any kind of land vehicle, then... what are you even doing there, that you need a semi-permanent solid structure?
Happens all the time here in Alaska. There are many medium-sized towns and villages that are accessible only by air or water.
Heck, not even the state capital (population 31,000) is on the road system.
The page itself has some good examples - really remote on montain tops e.g.
Misleading title. Igloos are made out of ice. This is made out of fiberglass and PET. I was expecting something like a better version of Pykrete. The "don't melt" qualifier is especially misleading because it implies that under normal circumstances it would melt. Nobody talks about "non-melting fiberglass" - that's normal fiberglass so you don't need to specify non-melting. This is just a prefab dome building. Domes buildings are interesting, but not as interesting as true non-melting ice would be.
"Misleading title. Igloos are made out of ice."
Nope, though that's a common misconception.
"Iglu" just means "house". It can refer to any type of dwelling, made of any material (even a modern wood-frame, brick, or concrete house). Only a few groups of the Inuit/Inupiat/Yup'ik people actually lived in iglus made of snow (not ice), though many groups used them for temporary shelter while on (e.g.) hunting trips. Other groups made their iglus of hides, sod, driftwood, or whatever other local material was available (some of the southern groups, such as the Alutiiq, dug pit houses in the ground).
"Igloo" is an English word. It doesn't have the exact same meaning as the Inuit word it's derived from. And snow is a type of ice.
'"Igloo" is an English word."
"And snow is a type of ice."
No, it is not. Snow (of the type used to construct shelters) is a mixture of ice crystals and air. The air is extremely important for the purpose under discussion. Snow is a pretty good insulator. Ice is not.
Also, "Inuit" is the name of only one group of people. Using their name for (say) Yup'ik is like calling an Italian or Romanian "French" just because they all speak a Romance language.
There's a strong argument to be made for OP's statements.
"igloo" is a word, like "hamburger" or "silhouette" or "denim" or "thug", which has passed into general English use.
Just as "hamburger" doesn't mean "a resident of Hamburg", "silhoette" doesn't mean "a penny-pinching finance minister of France", "denim" doesn't mean "from Nimes", and "thug" doesn't refer specifically to "an Indian religious assassin", "igloo" as used in English doesn't mean simply "house", but rather, a dome-shaped structure made of snow blocks.
Which, incidentally, makes the title here clickbait through misrepresentative word use.
Mind: words may still exist and have independent meanings in their original tongues. This doesn't preclude them from having other meanings, sometimes closely related, sometimes not, in other languages.
"There's a strong argument to be made for OP's statements."
He claimed that igloos are made of "ice".
That is not correct. At all.
Igloos are made of snow. Snow is made of ice. By the transitive property of "made of", igloos are made of ice. As the specific properties of snow are of no relevance to the discussion, saying they are made of ice is entirely reasonable use of language.
Your claim is as nonsensical as saying a bottle isn't made of hydrocarbons because it's actually made of plastic. If we were talking about the mechanical properties then "plastic" would be appropriate. But if we were talking about peak oil, "hydrocarbons" would be more appropriate. But both are correct and making the suboptimal choice is merely a matter of style.
In this discussion we are talking about melting, so I claim that "ice" is good style. You might think it bad style, but going as far as calling it incorrect makes you factually wrong.
Of course it is. People will think you're crazy if you call a wood frame house an igloo. An igloo is not an ᐃᒡᓗ, just like a mansion is not a マンション.
And while insulation is an important property of snow, for the purposes of the discussion where we were talking about melting not insulation, "ice" is a good word to use. Snow is made of ice, so this is 100% correct.
And "Inuit" is absolutely the correct name for the closely related languages/dialects shared by several groups of native Alaskan/Canadian/Greenlandic peoples. I realize the distinction between language and dialect is politically contentious, but speakers of Inuit from close geographical areas have excellent mutual comprehension, so it is not similar to your Italian/Romanian example.
As Wikipedia says "Outside Inuit culture, however, igloo refers exclusively to shelters constructed from blocks of compacted snow, generally in the form of a dome."
"And "Inuit" is absolutely the correct name for the closely related languages/dialects shared by several groups of native Alaskan/Canadian/Greenlandic peoples."
No, it absolutely is not. Yup'ik is not Inuit. It is not mutually intelligible with any dialect of Inuit. The Yup'ik languages split from Inuit around a thousand years ago (i.e., just about as long ago as Romanian, Spanish, etc. split from Latin).
The correct name for the language group is Eskimo–Aleut. Not "Inuit".
I realize that it's become fashionable in Canada to simply ignore Yup'ik and Aleut people and just call everybody "Inuit". However, Canada isn't the whole world.
Neither professional linguists (source: Wikipedia article below) nor the people themselves (source: I live in Alaska and actually know Alaska Native people) consider Inuit the "correct name" for all Eskimo-Aleut languages. While an Iñupiat person might not get pissed off at you for calling him an "Inuit" (even thought they don't call themselves that) a Yup'ik person probably would. Just as an Italian would be upset by being called "French".
Inuit language is a subset of Eskimo-Aleut language. Yup'ik language and Aleut language are also subsets of Eskimo-Aleut language. I was unable to find any evidence that Yup'ik or Aleut people traditionally built snow houses. I can't rule out that some of them did, but it has no relevance to the English word "igloo", which is derived from the Inuit language subset of Eskimo-Aleut, not the Yup'ik language or Aleut language subsets of Eskimo-Aleut.
"Snow is made of ice, so this is 100% correct."
Build a shelter out of ice instead of snow and you'd learn the difference in a hurry.
Often times, it's bulk rather than weight that determines transport feasibility. That's historically been a significant limiting factor in the practicality of prefabricated structures for general use...the difficulty of prefabricating a foundation being perhaps the only more significant one.
So, how much does one actually cost?
And what's the actual cost to make one?
That's a number set by the licensed manufacturer, which I'm not party to. Sorry.
We'll probably see some of those at a Burning Man VIP camp. | 2019-04-23T08:41:38Z | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12341093 |
As debate in China's centre is stifled, Hongkongers fear for their future – with good cause. Is there a connection between the uneasy quiet at the centre and the trouble at the periphery? Most likely, there is.
While young Hong Kong demonstrators crowd out the financiers in the centre of the city and in full view of the world’s media, bloody actions and an even bloodier repression is striking Uyghurs in Xinjiang, far out of sight. Trouble on the periphery contrasts with the apparent quiet that has descended on China’s main political scene – although spanning these separate spaces, Ilham Tohti, a mild, peaceful Beijing academic, has just been sentenced to life in prison for his work defending human rights for Uyghurs.
The quiet way that political events are unfolding on the main political scene is starkly different from the way things were only three years ago. At that time, divisive issues at the core of the Communist Party resonated in public, from debate on a new criminal law to the Bo Xilai corruption case, and succession politics was the name of the game. Only 50km from the border with Hong Kong, peasants were staging a successful protest against land grabs by local officials and their cronies – but who today remembers the name of Wukan, which made front-page news in the international media in 2011-2012?
Today, all constitutional and political debate has been silenced (a plenary meeting on legal issues has been announced for next month, but it would be misleading to say that the meeting will be about the rule of law). An extensive and targeted anti-corruption campaign is in full swing, but it has had almost no publicity and few details have been revealed about the cases, which are being dealt with by the party-state apparatus. Even the purge of a key political actor, China’s former security czar Zhou Yongkang, has only been confirmed by rumours and a one-line communiqué. Observers have begun to accept what was already becoming apparent by mid-2013 – Xi Jinping has firmly grasped the handle of power; he does not intend to share it; and on every political issue, his stance is as firm as it is open, or even waffling, on economic policy.
Is there a connection between the uneasy quiet at the centre and the trouble at the periphery? Most likely, there is. The Chinese state has responded with an iron fist to the attempts of some Uyghurs to take their struggle further inside China – including an amateur suicide squad on Tiananmen Square in October 2013. Over the last few months, terrorist acts in Xinjiang have been met with a much larger scale repression. Although exact figures are hard to verify, the death toll runs into the hundreds, after the People’s Armed Police have indiscriminately fired on people in the province. It appears that events in the Middle East – from Gaza to the rise of the Islamic State – have been used as a protective shield by the Chinese authorities, who expect to be given a pass by embattled Western governments. A violent spiral has been ignited, with international consequences: Uyghurs are radicalising and joining the international Jihad, making the official claims of the Chinese government into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The situation in Hong Kong is infinitely more nuanced. Yet it seems that this is not so much a crisis of unmet expectations as the expression of a deep anxiety by Hong Kong residents about their future. Exactly like in Taiwan, where earlier this year the Sunflower Movement erupted (directed against a trade agreement on services with the Chinese mainland), middle-class youth are at the centre of the movement in Hong Kong, and particularly the student class, which is the product of school selection. Overall, pro-democracy parties get more votes in central Hong Kong and Kowloon than in the New Territories.
For Hong Kong as for Taiwan, there are two clear messages from China’s peculiar globalisation. The first is that the smaller territories can expect to be overrun by competition and money from China proper. In Taiwan, the trade agreement on services promises to bring about lower wages in the services sector – and factory workers long ago lost out to investment in the PRC. In Hong Kong, locals are being crowded out by 20 million PRC tourists a year and by the huge rise in real estate prices set off by mainlanders with high purchasing power – and the situation particularly affects those who are just beginning their active working life.
The second message from Chinese globalisation is to expect dwindling political franchises in the near future. The rewriting of school curricula in a fashion more compatible with future PRC rule encouraged the growth of the student movement in Hong Kong two years ago. In Taiwan, President Ma Ying-jeou’s rapprochement with the PRC, even as China’s increasing military might makes Taiwan independence a totally unrealistic prospect, sent young people out into the street. And whatever the outcome of events in Hong Kong, it is sure to reverberate deeply in Taiwan.
There is a French saying that “one only exits ambiguity at one’s own disadvantage”. This is exactly the situation in which Xi Jinping and his colleagues now find themselves. The 1984 agreement on the return of Hong Kong, with its 50-year lease for “one country, two systems”, was always ambiguous. For one thing, it pushed the final arrangement 50 years into the future – the very same method that Deng Xiaoping used to defuse the island issue with Japan, which has now blown up in both countries’ faces.
Moreover, the terms of the agreement were highly ambiguous about the changes that could be made during the transition period (the British are in part to blame for only making a stand for full democracy in the final years before 1997, but it is doubtful that they could have obtained more from Beijing in any case). The idea that Hong Kong could have a full direct democracy, combining a freely elected Legislative Council (LegCo) and chief executive, was always a fantasy as long as one party rule prevails in China. There is a very strong democratic current in Hong Kong, as is visible every year at the mass vigils held in memory of Tiananmen victims. But Beijing has been rewarded for its concessions (such as slowly increasing the proportion of directly elected LegCo seats) by the pro-Beijing (or pro business…) parties managing to claw their way back to a majority. The central authorities have relied on business and on indirect means (including intimidation) rather than on direct action to contain the obvious gap between the internationalist and outward-looking Hong Kong public and China’s stodgy political system and ideology.
However, politics is about expectations. Beijing’s past concessions, including the announcement of a direct election for Hong Kong’s chief executive in 2017, are now capped by its reliance on a poorly legitimised electoral committee to select candidates: Hongkongers were given the option to veto a candidate, but not to vote for one of their own choosing. A possible way out still exists, for example extending universal suffrage (or a mixture thereof, as with the LegCo) to this electoral committee.
But even concessions like this will not solve the basic conundrum: it is impossible for Hong Kong to have a political leadership that contradicts the basic rule in China – the rule that will prevail in any case after 2047. China’s leaders have no plans to fade out. Hong Kong – which has benefitted immensely from its proximity to China – can insist on the implementation of the Basic Law until 2047, and can plead for autonomy in many ways. But the more it openly makes claims to have its own political personality, beyond the right to protest, the more it risks a catastrophic clash.
Other governments must not give Hongkongers illusions that will only lead to a Tiananmen-like ending. They must also point out to the central government the political advantages of compromise and the sky-high cost that real repression would entail. These are concrete goalposts – and European diplomacy should stay within them.

The Augusta Chronicle writes about early voting in Augusta.
Hundreds of Richmond County voters took time out of their Sunday to make their voice heard ahead of this week’s midterm elections.
The Board of Elections said 767 people cast their ballot Sunday.
Sunday voting was available to Richmond County voters at the municipal building from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but was not available in Columbia County.
According to numbers supplied by Bailey, 2,898 people voted in Richmond County, pushing the total since advance voting began on Oct. 15 to 10,583. Nancy L. Gay, the executive director for the Columbia County Board of Elections, said 2,538 voted, increasing its total to 17,260.
President Donald Trump is expected in Macon Sunday to urge Georgia voters to get Republican Brian Kemp victoriously over the finish line in a tight governor’s race with Democrat Stacey Abrams.
A week after Georgia’s first Sunday voting, Trump will host a rally in Macon, according to multiple sources.
Why this matters: In his final blitz,Trump is going to Trump country within Trump states. Not a single competitive House seat lies within these locations.
Trump won many of the counties by at least 20 points. He won all of the congressional districts by at least 20, and in one case (Cape Girardeau, MO) he won by more than 50.
The most striking exception is Macon, Georgia, which sits within Bibb County, which Hillary Clinton won by 20 points. But Trump won Macon’s congressional district by almost 30 points.
Vice President Mike Pence will appear with Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp this Thursday in Dalton, Grovetown, and Savannah. Here are links for free tickets.
The Dalton Daily Citizen writes about Vice President Pence’s visit to Dalton.
Pence and the Republican Party gubernatorial candidate, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, will appear at the convention center Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The two also have rallies scheduled for Savannah and the Augusta area that day.
Pence held a rally in Dalton during the presidential campaign in August 2016, when he was Donald Trump’s running mate.
“I understand Pence’s people thought the Dalton rally (in 2016) did very well, so I’m not surprised he’s coming back,” said 14th Congressional District Republican Party Chairman Ed Painter.
Two years ago, Pence’s rally was held in the ballroom of the convention center. This year, it will be held in a much larger arena, according to Whitfield County Republican Party Chairman Dianne Putnam.
Gavin Thompson, chairman of the Young Republicans of Northwest Georgia, says the rally will give a final boost to the Kemp campaign and other Republican candidates in the final days before the election.
“We’ve got a lot of momentum here locally. I think Republicans have been turning out, but this will give another push,” he said.
Jill Nolin writes about the contest for rural votes in the gubernatorial race.
Brian Kemp, a cowboy-boot-wearing Athens businessman, has traveled the state shaking hands with rural conservatives he is urging to show up in force.
“But we know right here in Hawkinsville, we are in the home of a lot of great farmers and a lot of great ag producers and many other hard-working Georgians,” he said. “And I have great appreciation for that because I’m one of you.
“And for my opponent to say that people shouldn’t have to go into agriculture and hospitality is wrong,” he said.
House Speaker David Ralston, a Republican from rural north Georgia who backs Kemp, said the comment was one of the most jarring he’s heard in what has become a bitterly fought race.
“That comment was so offensive on so many levels and shows a complete disconnect from what Georgians are thinking and what they’re proud of,” Ralston said in an interview Tuesday.
Kemp said he favors expanding a different program that offers a 100 percent tax credit for donors who give money to rural hospitals. He said he would form an economic development strike team whose daily focus would be to work with rural areas thirsty for jobs. To him, strengthening local tax bases is a step toward aiding the state’s fragile rural hospitals.
They have both pledged to renew a push under the Gold Dome to bring high-speed internet to areas that lack it.
Coweta County Democrats rallied for gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, according to the Newnan Times-Herald.
Floyd County Democrats rallied for early voting on Sunday, according to the Rome News-Tribune.
Former President Jimmy Carter says Brian Kemp should resign as Secretary of State, according to AccessWDUN.
The Gainesville Times looks at younger voters in the 2018 midterm elections.
Curt Yeomans of the Gwinnett Daily Post writes about issues in the Governor’s race.
Abrams told the Daily Post in August that her school security plans include changing rules on education special purpose local option sales taxes so funds that have traditionally been limited to capital costs can also be used for school district operations such as school resource officers and other safety intervention specialists.
She also said there should be more investment in strategies designed to curb bad behavior from students and addressing mental health issues among students.
On other issues, Kemp told the Daily Post earlier this month that his approach to school safety includes funding $30,000 grants to all schools to cover security improvement costs and also funding one counselor position for every high school in Georgia so they can address mental health or substance issues that might prompt a shooting.
Although Kemp has heavily touted his support of second amendment rights on the campaign trail, he said he would leave the issue of arming teachers to individual districts to decide.
Congressman Buddy Carter (R-Pooler) contributed to legislation on the opioid crisis, according to The Brunswick News.
President Donald Trump signed into law Wednesday comprehensive legislation meant to put controls on the prescription opioid industry, deter opioid abuse and address treatment and recovery. The bill — H.R. 6, the Support for Patients and Communities Act, includes language from three bills introduced by U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-1.
“While working with members on both sides of the aisle to create these solution to combat this crisis, I learned from constituents, colleagues and others that everyone and every community has been impacted by this epidemic in some way,” Carter said in a statement. “For me, as a pharmacist for more than 30 years, I saw addiction end careers and ruin lives and families.
Carter’s contributions to H.R. 6 included specifications that the Department of Health and Human Services conduct a study on abuse deterrent formulations (ADFs) for chronic pain patients in Medicare — ADFs make it harder to modify medication for abuse.
The Ledger-Enquirer looks at a special election for Muscogee County Superior Court Clerk.
Since [incumbent Clerk Ann] Hardman’s unexpected death, Shasta Thomas Glover has been the clerk, sworn in after serving as Hardman’s chief deputy.

The Ledger Enquirer asked each candidate to cite three priorities, should she win this special election that voters must go to the end of their ballots to find, after proposed constitutional amendments and other state referenda.

I qualified as a doctor in 2003 with a first class honours degree and went on to pursue surgical training. During this time I taught anatomy and developed a passion for medical education. I then trained in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and developed a second passion for women’s health and well-being, and putting patient-centered care at the heart of everything I do.
My two passions as well as an interest in improving patient access to health care, brought me to General Practice, a field where I could combine these interests and develop a healthy work life balance. I qualified as a GP in 2006, and have worked extensively over the last 12 years in both the NHS and private sectors. I now run a holistic postnatal programme, and am currently developing a ‘holistic parent programme’ to be run in schools promoting a sense of belonging for parents within the school community and helping them to raise resilient, happy and curious children. I also have three children and an interest in fine art and sculpture so I love being busy!
I continue to be passionate about delivering patient centered holistic and evidence based care, and aim to support and guide my patients empowering them to make informed choices, and become happier and healthier as a result.

The Museum of Lost Species is a morbid place that only opens its doors for a few days a year; a place where the voices of species long gone echo from the walls. Our creepy curators are eager to tell you all about the Lost Species within the Museum and their plans to fill it up with more. Will you help them on their malicious mission or will you join up with the 'conservationists' outside and try to save species from entering the Museum forever?
We wanted to create an out-of-the-ordinary exhibit that highlights how we, as humans, have the power to cause detrimental effects to the environment and the millions of species that live in it, and also show the ways that we can protect the Earth's vibrant biodiversity. Through our creepy curators and an opposing team of campaigners, the exhibit allows visitors to explore their role in biodiversity loss and think about what they can do in the future.
WHERE HAS THE MUSEUM BEEN?
The Museum of Lost Species opened its doors for the first time in August 2018 at the Green Man Festival, in Brecon Beacons, Wales - pictures pending.
The facts and figures are scary (just take a look at the Museum's Annual Report!), but each person can make a difference to protect the environment, and prevent further biodiversity loss.
Living sustainability doesn't have to be difficult. Listed below are some of the things that you could think about to start making a positive impact on the environment.
1. What am I eating?
Raising animals for food is the single greatest human-caused source of destruction to our environment. It is the largest source of greenhouse gases, land use and degradation; the number one source of water pollution and rainforest deforestation! Reducing the amount of meat and dairy you eat is one of the best things you can do for the environment. Though it's best to find local produce, as all those exotic avocados have flown from across the sea!
2. Where does my food go?
Food should go into our stomachs, but so much food actually goes in the bin! Love Food Not Waste gives some great tips on how to reduce food waste. But what about those banana skins and leftover lettuce? Well, creating your own compost bin is a fun and enviro-friendly activity - the Royal Horticultural Society explains how in this easy video.
3. What products do I use?
Every product we buy seems to be covered in plastic, and we buy so many things! Try and make a list in your head of all the products you buy or use that include plastic - it's crazy, and it doesn't have to be this way. Use refillable water bottles, buy fruit & veg without plastic wrapping and don't ask for a plastic straw. Companies will change to recycled materials if they get enough customer pressure to do so.
4. Am I an energy guzzler?
As much as we'd love the world to run off the sea, the sun and the wind, it doesn't (yet!). To get our energy we have to burn non-renewable resources which release damaging gases into the environment, causing a wide-range of effects to climates across the globe. What ways could you reduce your energy consumption?
How did the Museum make you feel?
Have you been to the Museum? We'd love to find out how it made you feel! Send us an email at learning@linnean.org to let us know.
The museum is terrible. The animals are exactly the same as us. You wouldn't like it if a giraffe killed you and used your fingers for forks.
Stop the world I want to get off! A real insight into how we are wrecking the place. Would love to know how we can reserve the damage done.
Spend more time surrounded by nature - learn to love it - go camping more! | 2019-04-24T17:58:15Z | https://www.linnean.org/learning/discover-learning/projects/the-museum-of-lost-species |

Jeff Sessions, the president’s earliest and most fervent supporter in Congress, stepped down as attorney general Wednesday after brutal criticism from the president, bringing an abrupt end to his controversial tenure as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
President Trump wrote on Twitter after a marathon press conference at the White House that Sessions was out and that his chief of staff, Matthew Whittaker, would serve as an acting replacement.
Of course, there is that Russia thing.
With Sessions out, Trump may attempt to limit or end the probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller III into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign and whether the president himself obstructed justice.
But for today, smoke ’em if you got ’em Colorado! We’ll update with local reactions.
Registered To Vote? Weed Discount!
A Boulder-based dispensary chain is offering customers a stinky reason to get involved in the upcoming midterm elections.
Five Terrapin Care Station stores across Colorado will offer a 10 percent discount on purchased products if customers show proof of voter registration.
You’ll never get an easier discount on your ganja than by registering to vote in Colorado, since we have some of the most accessible voting laws in the country providing for same-day Election Day registration–and mail-in ballots as long as you’re registered before October 29, so you don’t even have to get off the couch.
With that said, please do vote responsibly! All those little bubbles tend to run together after a few tokes.
.@WalkerStapleton was booed at the #COGov debate last night for making a strange comment about his opponents children.
That, gentle readers, is the face of the guy who never gets the joke, never tells the joke right, and never understands why nobody else is laughing. If it seems like every time these two candidates meet Walker Stapleton has some kind of bizarre highly embarrassing on-camera gaffe or meltdown, it’s because that’s exactly what’s happening.
Again, maybe it’s a Bush thing.
Is Trump Coming For Colorado’s Weed Or Not, Cory Gardner?
Colorado’s system for regulating marijuana has too many loopholes that disguise illegal activity and jeopardize public safety, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday, detailing his motivation for boosting scrutiny in the first state to broadly allow cannabis sales.
U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer said he is particularly concerned with how companies that grow marijuana account for damaged product and the state’s system allowing people to grow a certain number of plants at home for medical use. He said both situations create an opportunity for marijuana to be sold on the black market and require federal prosecutors to take a closer look at Colorado’s regulated marijuana industry.
In 180-degree contrast to Gardner’s assurances, supposedly after talking to the President himself about the situation, that Colorado’s marijuana industry was not in danger of federal prosecution, this flat-out statement from U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer that marijuana businesses in compliance with state law are at “increased risk of federal prosecution” is deeply chilling–and not in the pleasant sense that follows a nice indica bong hit.
So what happens next? The industry isn’t reacting with public alarm, at least not yet. Cory Gardner has been silent so far on Troyer’s comments, with the high drama over Brett Kavanaugh’s embattled Supreme Court nomination hogging the spotlight. If the federal government’s interest here is merely to prevent black market diversion and not shut down the legal marijuana industry entirely, that would be one thing. But who can say that with confidence knowing how Jeff Sessions feels about the devil weed?
As it stands now, everyone from individual tokers to investors with millions committed to this business should be worried–and Gardner’s assurances are looking awfully hollow.
Grady Nouis, the Republican candidate for an Arvada area statehouse seat in the Colorado legislature, talks a lot about crime. He’s primarily concerned that so-called “sanctuary cities” endanger residents, because undocumented immigrants who may live in these cities commit crimes, particularly drug crimes.
In the summer of 2005, Nouis was arrested and charged with felony manufacturing of hallucinogenic mushrooms. He ultimately pled guilty to “maintaining a drug house” and possession of marijuana.
According to court records, Nouis was initially charged with one felony count of “manufacture of psilocybin,” and one misdemeanor count of “possession of marijuana.” A plea bargain reduced the felony manufacturing charge to another misdemeanor, “maintaining a drug house.” Nouis was sentenced to three years of probation and paid fees and fines totaling $1,660.
Isn’t this what Sen. Cory Gardner, the “Trump whisperer” on all matters marijuana, should be saying?
Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colorado, remains “confident” President Donald Trump will keep his promise not to meddle with state marijuana policy despite a report that the White House asked federal agencies to compile statistics and stories that paint the drug in a negative light.
“There seems to be a lot of interest in these storylines going around about how staff are trying to manipulate the president or to work around his firmly held policy positions – including the position he’s held since the campaign that marijuana policy is best left to the states …,” Gardner spokesman Alex Siciliano said.
The storyline comes from an article first published Wednesday by BuzzFeed News about The Marijuana Policy Coordination Committee. It reportedly asked 14 federal agencies and the Drug Enforcement Administration to provide “data demonstrating the most significant negative trends” about marijuana and how it might threaten the country. The reported purpose behind amassing all these data points was to brief the president.
Not to worry, says Sen. Gardner, who received a large helping of credit for “saving” Colorado’s marijuana industry from the threat of a crackdown by Attorney General Jeff Sessions after he interceded with Trump earlier this year. But setting aside the strange bedfellows of a conservative Republican championing the marijuana business, an act of political expediency that Gardner has reportedly had to explain to a great many unhappy fellow conservatives, there’s the larger problem that Gardner really has no control over the capricious decisionmaking of the Trump administration. Just like North Korea or any other matter on which Gardner has tried to run cover for Trump, he’s at the mercy of Trump’s inconsistency.
Which means that, well, sure. If Trump decides it’s in his best political interests to crack down on weed despite it all, you can expect Cory Gardner will be left flapping in the breeze without even a moment’s consideration. In that event, we can only hope that the voices who praised Gardner so loudly for protecting their reefer last time will realize that a counterintuitive friend is oftentimes a fair-weather friend, too.
Hickenlooper turned down legislation that would have added autism to the list of conditions eligible for medical marijuana, allowed for pot “tasting rooms” and opened up the cannabis industry to investment by public companies.
Walker and others also slammed the timing of the veto at the very end of the day Tuesday, right before Hickenlooper left town Wednesday.
Politically this unexpected series of vetoes of marijuana bills appears to be backfiring, with much more negativity about the vetoes in press coverage than discussion of Hickenlooper’s defenses offered in his veto letters. In the case of the autism bill, this anger at least partly results from Hickenlooper’s contradictory statements about the reasons–that there wasn’t enough data, then claiming flippantly that the bill could encourage youth marijuana use.
In all cases these were bills intended to resolve legitimate issues, crafted with stakeholders on all sides, and supported by legislative coalitions that spanned the ideological poles. Vetoing these bills, especially with a record as governor of only very rarely vetoing legislation passed with bipartisan support, leaves a permanent blemish on Hickenlooper’s image with no political upside we can see.
If that looks different by 2020, we’ll let you know. As of now it looks like a huge mistake.
UPDATE: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis weighs in–and says he would have signed them both.
Currently, there are no legal places in Colorado to consume marijuana outside of a private home, making it difficult for renters, out-of-state tourists, and parents with young children to enjoy dispensary purchases. It’s possible that contributed to a 471 percent increase in citations for public cannabis consumption in the first three quarters of 2014, as Colorado Public Radio reported. Westword also reported that between the time of legalization in 2014 and 2017, Boulder saw a 54 percent climb.
The bill would have limited purchases in tasting rooms to 10 milligrams active THC in an infused product or one-quarter gram of marijuana concentrate. In compliance with the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, customers would not have been allowed to smoke. Products would have had to be consumed on business premises.
The bill passed the Senate in late April with a 22-12 vote, and the House in early May with a 57-8 vote.
The governor’s stated reason for vetoing this legislation is the “concern” that allowing consumption of marijuana anywhere other than a private residence could lead to “additional impaired or intoxicated drivers on our roadways.” Notwithstanding the legal limbo that the absence of a legal place to consume marijuana leaves tourists in who come to our state to partake, creating a major policy conflict–by Hickenlooper’s logic, no one should ever be granted a liquor license again! After all, more places to drink would logically result in “additional impaired or intoxicated drivers on our roadways.” Right?
But our brewery owner governor doesn’t see it that way. And that’s not a good look.
Before Hickenlooper’s decision, parents of children with autism gathered outside the governor’s office at the state Capitol.
One mother brought prescription bottles to show what her child has taken. She came in hopes of legalizing marijuana for autism.
For the families of autistic children who pleaded with the governor to sign this bill, and who won the public’s sympathy this spring with a high-visibility media campaign highlighting what their families go through and how marijuana has helped, this high-handed sermonizing about the message to “young people” is a shocking insult. This bill was not about enabling drug use by kids, it’s about treating a serious disorder on par with any of the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana today. That’s why the bill passed by a lopsided 53-11 margin in the House and near-unanimous 32-3 in the Senate.
Along with other recent lurches to the right like Hickenlooper’s endorsement of a work requirement for Medicaid and lip service to re-criminalizing marijuana entirely, these vetoes seem to be political moves to “sanitize” himself politically for a possible run for higher office. We don’t know exactly who is giving Hickenlooper the advice to take these actions, but it’s exactly the wrong way for him to be moving politically. Undoing any good will with the proponents of the autism bill by dismissing their concerns as an attempt to promote adolescent drug use, and punting the huge unresolved issue of legal marijuana consumption, is not how a governor shows leadership.
It’s how you prove you don’t deserve to be President.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he regretted choosing Jeff Sessions as attorney general, a continuation of the President’s frustrations over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
…Trump has frequently criticized Sessions over his recusal, which paved the way for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Trump, according to The New York Times, has said he needs an attorney general to protect him.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ bellicose threats against legal marijuana have given the rapidly-growing industry in Colorado the most stress they’ve endured since legalization in 2012, but it does appear that he lost the battle for President Donald Trump’s blessing to carry out the crackdown he so badly wanted. That’s the local angle of relevance in this story–Sessions’ lack of favor with Trump being a positive development for Colorado’s marijuana industry–though obviously, Sessions’ recusal from the investigation into involvement by Russian nationals in the election of Trump is the factor driving the day.
Will Sessions survive in his position long enough to headline the Western Conservative Summit in Denver in less than two weeks? We’ll all have to find out together.
One significant policy change Stapleton would seek would be a crackdown on the roughly 150,000 state residents who still carry medical-marijuana cards, which allows them tax-free purchasing of the drug, the ability to grow their own plants and the ability to consume the weed at age 18. Moving all but medically necessary card holders into purchasing legalized retail marijuana would increase state tax revenues on the drug by two to three times and ensure that they couldn’t distribute home-grown cannabis to friends, creating a new stream of revenue for transportation and other needs, he said.
That’s right, folks! The state of Colorado has never had 150,000 medical marijuana cardholders, and since the passage of Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana in 2012, the number of patients on the state’s medical marijuana registry has steadily declined. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s latest report on Medical Marijuana Registry Program, in April of 2018 there were a total of 88,946 Coloradans with an active medical marijuana card.
For those of you lacking a handy calculator, that’s 59.3% of Stapleton’s claim.
Obviously this has a big negative impact on the utility of Stapleton’s proposed “crackdown” on the medical marijuana registry, since the amount of revenue that could be extracted from medical marijuana patients who were “cracked down on” is directly proportional to the total number of such individuals. Because there have never once been the number of people with medical marijuana “red cards” that Stapleton asserted “still carry” them, we really have no idea how to reconcile this discrepancy.
Unless we already did, in the title of this post.
We are proud to announce that the 84th Attorney General of the United States Jeff Sessions will be speaking Friday afternoon, June 8, 2018, at the Western Conservative Summit!
On illegal immigration, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has returned our country to a rule of law.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions joins our nation’s top conservative leaders in Denver, Colorado including: Attorney General Ed Meese, 2nd Amendment advocate Dana Loesch, Rep. Steve King, Rep. Ken Buck and the House Freedom Caucus, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, Christian movie star Kirk Cameron, author Matt Walsh, Fox and Friend’s Ainsley Earhardt, YouTube sensations Diamond and Silk, Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens, Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv, the Colson Center’s John Stonestreet, many of Colorado’s gubernatorial candidates, Alliance Defending Freedom’s President Michael Farris, Heritage Foundation’s Jennifer Marshall, former U.S. Navy Seal Chad Williams, and many others.
Sessions is the biggest name on the confirmed speakers list now, which is sure to impart a very special character to this year’s Western Conservative Summit. It’s interesting that this announcement makes no reference to Sessions’ infamously dim view of marijuana legalization, a view strongly shared by the Centennial Institute’s director Jeff Hunt. As we’ve recently discussed, support for marijuana legalization both locally and across the nation is strong enough to make Sessions’ buzzkill threats against pot a significant political liability for Republicans in this already-challenging election year.
So needless to say, we’re excited to see what Sessions has to say when he arrives in the vanguard state of the wave of legalization sweeping America! The protest outside Sessions’ speech should be a memorable event, at least for those watching from a distance. Protesters toking up en masse in Jeff Sessions’ honor might have a fuzzier recollection.
But if you’re a marijuana smoker anywhere near Denver on June 8th, toking up in Jeff Sessions’ honor will be something akin to a religious obligation.
Jared Polis: The Governor Colorado’s Weed Industry Needs?
After ten years in Congress, vocal cannabis reform advocate Jared Polis is now looking to become the Governor of Colorado. Polis, currently a representative for Colorado’s second district, is running on an ambitious campaign to provide the state with 100% renewable energy by 2040 as well as implement a single-payer health care plan. But as governor of the first state to legalize recreational marijuana, he would also preside over a cannabis market which has set the tone for the rest of the country.
The solution, Polis has suggested, is a commission of lawmakers, citizens, and industry professionals to audit the effectiveness of Colorado’s current regulations. It’s no doubt that Polis will be missed among reform advocates in Congress, but if he’s able to smooth out the kinks in his state’s cannabis industry, he could still have an impact nationwide by setting a precedent for all the states looking to legalize in the next two years.
When Colorado became the first state to legalize the sale and use of marijuana by adults without any license or medical prescription, it was risky territory for the state. The initial reaction from Gov. Hickenlooper and many other local political leaders in both parties was one of caution, with great doubt over whether the federal government would ever allow the legal retail sale of marijuana to begin.
Six years after Amendment 64, Colorado’s nervous foray into legal marijuana sales has become a model that other states have followed–most prominently the state of California, whose retail marijuana operations began at the beginning of this year. Today, the rush of larger states to legalize marijuana has taken the pressure off Colorado as a petri dish for an uncertain experiment. The explosive growth and maturation of the marijuana industry has unquestionably validated the wisdom of legalization in 2012, and makes Gov. Hickenlooper’s recent well-publicized fumbles on the issue seem terribly out of touch.
In the first post-Hickenlooper gubernatorial election, it will be very interesting to see how much influence the marijuana business wields. Whatever Hickenlooper says from day to day, public support for legal weed remains strong–so we don’t see Republicans campaigning in 2018 on a Reefer Madness platform of recriminalization. That means candidates will be jockeying to be the industry’s friend–and Polis has the bonafides here.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has two facts in front of him: Since 2014 crime has been rising in his state, outstripping the national trend, and since 2014 recreational use of marijuana has been legal.
Whether the two are connected is hotly debated — and if they are, then what? For the first time publicly, Hickenlooper told CNN he doesn’t rule out recriminalizing recreational marijuana, even if that’s a long shot.
Yes, there are two sides to every story, and two sides to every coin, yada, yada, yada. But if Hickenlooper is going to have another act in his political future, it would behoove him to present himself as more of a leader and less of a mediator.
Ten years ago, this was a photo to end a political career–especially a Republican’s.
Today, it’s just Sen. Don Coram of Montrose in a marijuana bush.
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner is dropping his holds on certain Justice Department nominees “as an act of good faith” amid ongoing conversations with the deputy U.S. attorney general and the acting U.S. attorney for Colorado.
Because obviously, the best way to negotiate is to give up your most valuable bargaining chips.
Colorado’s Republican U.S. senator says there’s been enough progress on negotiations over marijuana with the Trump administration that he will stop blocking nominees for some jobs in the Justice Department.
Cory Gardner used his power as a senator to freeze department nominations last month after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions revoked Obama-era protections for states that have broadly legalized marijuana.
Gardner said Sessions needed to re-establish protections for the industry. Gardner told The Associated Press on Thursday that recent talks make him confident the department won’t change the way it enforces federal laws in Colorado and other states that allow adults to use cannabis recreationally.
News reports as recently as yesterday documented the continuing impasse between Sen. Cory Gardner and Attorney General Jeff Sessions over rescinding the Obama-era Cole Memorandum dictating a hands-off policy toward legal marijuana states. Gardner specifically stated in a Senate floor speech that he would hold Justice Department nominees until the Cole memorandum was reinstated.
Since that time, however, pressure from law enforcement groups and conservative supporters of Sessions has built on Gardner to release his DOJ holds. On Tuesday, Jeff Sessions went public with criticism of Gardner’s actions, complaining that the holds were hampering his ability to fill critical positions.
And today, Gardner announced he would release the DOJ holds for which he earned nationwide thanks from marijuana advocates. Without getting what he demanded. The Cole memo has not been reinstated, nor will it be now. The revised guidance from Sessions to U.S. Attorneys that provoked widespread fears of a marijuana crackdown remains operative. The industry has no real assurance other than Sessions’ apparent word to Gardner–which Gardner already blasted Sessions for breaking in the past.
Anybody who is surprised by Gardner’s lack of courage down the stretch, please raise your hands.
Nobody should be raising their hands.
The members of the Fraternal Order of Police are disappointed and very frustrated by the vow made by Senator Cory S. Gardner (R-CO) to hold up all nominees for vacant posts in the U.S. Department of Justice following the decision to rescind the Cole Memo and restore discretion to our nation’s U.S. Attorneys on investigations into violations of Federal drug laws involving marijuana.
Senator Gardner has come out swinging to defend the pot industry in his State. However, the fact that he believes Colorado can profit from the sale of this illegal drug does not give him the right to hold up or delay the appointment of critical personnel at the Justice Department. How can he justify putting at risk the public safety of all 50 States to advance the interests of the pot industry in his own?
The FOP has repeatedly made our concerns about current vacancies in the Justice Department and other key Administration posts known. Senator Gardner does a real disservice to the nation as a whole and we urgently ask him to reconsider his rash and ill-advised obstructionism.
Policy differences should be worked out by a dialogue and not turn into hostage situations. The ability of the Justice Department to carry out its nationwide mission should not be compromised by a single Senator trying to make it easier for business in his State to sell marijuana—an illegal drug as far as the Federal government is concerned.
It’s usually a friend to the GOP, having endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2016, but the Fraternal Order of Police, the nation’s largest law-enforement [sic] labor union, has come out swinging at Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner. What’s the beef? Gardner’s vow to hold up nominees to the many vacant posts in the U.S. Justice Department after the Trump administration announced it was giving the department more leeway to crack down on pot-legalizing states like Colorado.
With Sen. Gardner’s support in polls quickly declining, perhaps most critically with base law-and-order Republicans who are generally speaking not big fans of the devil-weed, pressure on Gardner to fold on his nominee holds could become an interesting predicament for him. With Colorado’s U.S. Attorney having disarmed fears of an immediate crackdown on the retail marijuana industry following Sessions’ change of policy, though with plenty of uncertainty about the long term under the Trump administration remaining, Gardner may have taken an position that burns him no matter what he does next.
But remember, the promise Gardner made was not to the cops.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions wasn’t swayed to immediately change his mind about his decision to rescind the Cole Memo after Wednesday’s meeting with Sen. Cory Gardner despite the Colorado Republican’s threat to withhold Justice Department nominees.
Sessions agreed to meet with Gardner Wednesday after Gardner loudly balked at the decision to rescind the 2013 memo that protects states where marijuana is legal from extraneous federal enforcement.
As of today, Blair reports, Gardner’s Justice Department holds remain–but this last statement signals clearly that Gardner’s holds either won’t last long or won’t matter. For all the praise Gardner received after making his bellicose threats last Friday, that would be a sheepish end that should get at least as much press attention.
Because as it turns out, maybe he really didn’t deserve all that praise.
With that said, it would be a mistake to rule out entirely the possibility that legislation to tie the Justice Department’s hands in legal marijuana states will come about as a result of Sessions’ threats. As of now, Gardner has paid only lip service to the protection of Colorado’s marijuana industry–and without the kind of confrontation marijuana supporters hoped Gardner would lead against Sessions last week, the most likely outcome now is an uneasy status quo that may well outlast Sessions’ tenure as Attorney General.
We’ll say it again and again: talk is cheap. And just like when Mike Coffman dropped his bid to force a discharge petition to vote on legislation to protect undocumented DREAMer students, Cory Gardner is getting credit that the facts of the situation do not appear to warrant.
If and when that changes, we’ll gratefully acknowledge it. But it hasn’t happened yet.
Learning about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to rescind the Obama-era protections at the Justice Department that allowed individual states to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational use, Sen. Cory Gardner flew into a rage from the well of the U.S. Senate last week–threatening in explicit terms to hold up every nominee for the Department of Justice unless the Cole Memorandum is reinstated as the operative guidance for U.S. Attorneys on marijuana prosecutions.
The specifics of what Gardner are said are very important, since he is reportedly meeting with Sessions tomorrow to discuss the situation. After which, depending on how that meeting goes, Gardner will either lift his hold on Justice Department nominees or allow them to stand pending Sessions reconsidering his position.
GARDNER: I agree with President Trump, that this decision should be left up to the people of Colorado and othere states. And I call on Attorney General Sessions to explain to me why President Trump was wrong in 2016 and what changed their minds. And that they reverse their decision to withdraw and rescind the Cole memorandum. And that they reimplement and reinstate the Cole memorandum. [Pols emphasis] And until that happens, I think I am obligated by the people of Colorado to take all steps necessary to protect the state of Colorado. And their rights.
And that’s why I will be putting today a hold on every single nomination from the Department of Justice. Until Attorney General Jeff Sessions lives up to the commitment that he made to me in my confirmation–my pre-confirmation meeting with him, the conversation we had that was specifically about this issue of state’s rights and Colorado. Until he lives up to that commitment, I will be holding all nominations to the Department of Justice. The people of Colorado deserve answers. The people of Colorado deserve their will to be respected.
Madam chair–Madam President–I yield the floor and not the absence of a quorum.
Now, you can read this statement as Gardner laying out very precisely what Sessions needs to do to see Gardner’s nominee holds released: reinstating the Cole memo. The only problem is that Gardner, being an infamously crafty crafter of weaselly statements, separated his specific comments about the Cole memo from his announcement that he will hold up Justice Department nominees. You could, in a strained but literal reading, see Gardner only promising to maintain the holds until Sessions lives up to some unspecified “commitment.” Was that commitment specifically to preserve the Cole memo?
It all gets kind of, you know, weaselly.
The reason we’re asking these specific questions is simple: the chances that Sessions will actually reverse course and reimplement the Cole memo after meeting with Gardner seem very slim, but the odds that Gardner will come out of his meeting with Sessions tomorrow with those holds intact are even slimmer. Much like Rep. Mike Coffman’s abortive threat to force a vote on protections for undocumented students last summer, the most likely outcome here is, after receiving lavish praise for “standing up” to the Trump administration, Gardner folds without actually accomplishing anything.
And if that’s what happens, those who issued said lavish praise should do a follow-up.
In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Kansas, where a Republican lawmaker adds a racist tone to a conversation about legal marijuana.
During Saturday’s Legislative Coffee session at St. Catherine Hospital, State Rep. Steve Alford, R-Ulysses, made an ostensibly racist comment when citing domestic Jim Crow-era drug policies.
“Basically any way you say it, marijuana is an entry drug into the higher drugs,” Alford said. “What you really need to do is go back in the ’30s, when they outlawed all types of drugs in Kansas (and) across the United States.
No word on whether or not Alford is friends with Colorado State Sen. Vicki Marble, who thinks African-Americans eat too much chicken.
As we noted last week, Sen. Cory Gardner’s outrage over the decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to rescind Obama-era protections against a federal crackdown on marijuana in states that have legalized cannabis left un–or at least under–stated something very important: the fact that Gardner, alone among Colorado’s representatives in Washington, cast a key vote to confirm Sessions. This puts Gardner is a much more directly responsible position for Sessions’ actions than anyone else in the state.
Gardner is right about Sessions’ mendacity, of course, although we think it’s a little late in the day to wake up to that fact. And the junior senator’s outsized outrage is highly suspicious. Like most of the state’s prominent politicians, he opposed marijuana legalization. And while his sudden devotion to states’ rights is interesting, it’s not particularly persuasive.
…According to the website fivethirtyeight.com, Gardner has voted with Trump 94.6 percent of the time, despite the fact that Colorado delivered its electoral votes to Hillary Clinton, not Trump, in 2016. So much for his fealty to the will of Colorado voters.
Without the endless benefit of the doubt Gardner is afforded by the Post and other members of the local pundit class, this is a much more accurate–if less flattering–examination of Gardner’s record. Anecdotal moments of “standing up to Trump” as Gardner went through the motions of with legal marijuana last week cannot erase the fact that Gardner votes with Trump almost all the time–including the highest profile votes of 2017 on repealing health care reform and slashing taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Not to mention Gardner’s vote to confirm Jeff Sessions.
As frustrating as it may be to watch Gardner get credit he doesn’t deserve for what amounts to token CYA statements, this editorial sums up very well what Gardner should be afraid of when that finally stops working. As the saying goes, anecdotes do not equal data. And the record shows clearly, from Gardner’s condemnation of the Trump-energized racist right after Charlottesville to his faux outrage over Jeff Sessions, that Gardner has enabled the very things he decries.
Anything less than a full acknowledgement of this, every time, is a disservice to the facts.
Hopefully these words don’t come back to bite her (see below).
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rescinding the Obama-era policy that had paved the way for legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country, including in Colorado, according to two sources.
While Sessions has been carrying out a Justice Department agenda that follows Trump’s top priorities on such issues as immigration and opioids, the changes to pot policy reflect his own concerns.
Trump’s personal views on marijuana remain largely unknown.
This reported action directly contradicts what Attorney General Sessions told me prior to his confirmation. With no prior notice to Congress, the Justice Department has trampled on the will of the voters in CO and other states.
The rub here of course is that Sen. Gardner, alone among Colorado’s delegation in Washington, cast his vote to confirm Sessions as Attorney General–meaning that Gardner is left holding the proverbial bag in this case more than anyone else in our vanguard legalization state. For all the noise Gardner is making in defense of Colorado’s marijuana industry now, he can’t escape at least partial responsibility for Sessions’ actions.
Obviously we’ll be watching this developing story for updates, since Sessions’ next steps on marijuana will have a major effect on Colorado’s economy. Stay tuned.
The “Hot mess” from California just got owned by Joy Reid.
The 12/23/17 AMJoy Show featured Jen Kerns attempting to distract from the Russian collusion scandal by rehashing the Uranium One “scandal”. This was round two – after Jen Kerns U1 talking points were dissected by Reid on October 30.
In Colorado, we’re used to Kerns lying, just making stuff up – and getting away with it, for the most part.
In 2013, Jennifer Kerns emerged as the spokesperson for the recall effort against Senators Giron and Morse. The recall, ostensibly for the Senators’ so-called “anti-gun” votes, almost shifted control to Republicans in the Colorado Senate.
Colorado Christian U To GOP: Hands Off Weed Money!
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette follows up on one of the week’s more curious local political stories, a fundraiser for the GOP’s Senate Majority Fund 527 attended by members of the budding (pun) marijuana industry–an interesting change-up for a party that includes Attorney General Jeff Sessions, far and away the biggest threat to legalized marijuana in its short history.
“It has come to our attention that state legislators are accepting campaign donations from the marijuana industry. As educators and researchers, we hope this is not the case. Marijuana has devastated Colorado by nearly every metric and we are particularly concerned about marijuana’s health impact on youth,” CCU President Dr. Donald Sweeting and Centennial Institute director Jeff Hunt wrote.
“Colorado Christian University asks that you audit your donations for any money given by the marijuana industry and donate those funds to marijuana youth prevention and recovery organizations. We are happy to meet with you to discuss marijuana’s devastating impacts on Colorado. We look forward to your leadership on this issue and your work to make Colorado a better state for its citizens and especially its young people,” they concluded.
As you can see, the question is not morally ambiguous to Jeff Hunt of CCU’s Centennial Institute like it appears to be with Senate President Grantham. For Hunt, taking money from the marijuana industry is little different from taking money from an organized crime cartel. But could you imagine Grantham saying it’s “up to individual members” whether they want to take money from Al Capone?
With all of this in mind, might the Senate Majority Fund think twice about spending that freshly-raised marijuana cabbage? And if they don’t…will they answer to a higher authority?
No wedge issue here. We’re not happy with any government official taking money from the marijuana industry. Republican or Democrat.
Time for a conference call.
Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert (R).
All the progress that legalized marijuana has made in Colorado is nothing compared to what is about to happen on Wednesday.
The Republican group co-hosting the event at Denver’s Capitol Hill Tavern is the Senate Majority Fund, a political group that uses its money to support GOP candidates for the Colorado Senate, primarily through advertising.
The group’s aim is to make sure Republicans maintain their majority in the 35-member Senate, even if it’s only the one-vote lead it currently holds.
It’s important to note that, although elected officials on both sides were generally unsupportive of 2012’s Amendment 64, the vote in 2013 in the Colorado General Assembly on the legislation that enabled the constitutional amendment to take effect–House Bill 13-1317–was split closely along party lines in the House. GOP lawmakers like now-Sen. Chris Holbert, who is quoted in Ashby’s story saying Amendment 64 is the law and of course Republicans are duty-bound to uphold the will of the voters, actually voted against the legislation to let said voters’ will take effect.
Certainly we understand the marijuana industry’s desire to cultivate support (pun intended) on both sides of the aisle, so don’t mistake this for criticism of their efforts here–or the money they raise tomorrow night for Republican Senate candidates. The real question will be whether the substantial wing of the Republican Party that remains, in some cases fanatically, opposed to marijuana legalization is willing to tolerate Colorado Senate Republicans taking marijuana money. | 2019-04-19T06:34:03Z | https://www.coloradopols.com/diary/category/marijuana |
Six trends affecting the healthcare billing industry in 2017 have been identified by MedicalBillersandCoders.com. They include the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10, implementation of CPT codes, evolution of EHR management, the rise of money managers, cognitive computing and onset of block chain technology.
As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, more focus is being placed on revenue integrity. This means more intense scrutiny on every element of the revenue cycle from the front end through the mid-cycle to the back office. No aspect of the revenue cycle is receiving more attention than the billing function.
Organizations must deal with these trends while at the same time ensuring the quality of their billing function. Many rely on auditing to monitor their billing processes and make sure billing departments are being run effectively. However, the key to proper billing is identifying root cause issues and applying appropriate corrective action. Auditing is simply a tool to help accomplish that, not an end in itself.
To ensure billing integrity, organizations must develop a process that is supported by a system. Auditing is only one element of an oversight system that also includes analysis and corrective action. Taken together, this system supports a data-driven approach that can enhance billing integrity. The system should effectively translate patient encounters into proper coding to ensure full payment and maintain compliance – making sure you get to keep what you have collected.
The system ultimately needs to be driven by data, since data gives you analysis that provides insight necessary to implement improvement. Here are three key benefits of a data-driven approach to ensuring billing integrity. | 2019-04-20T05:24:38Z | http://meetings.hayesmanagement.com/blog/topic/mdaudit |
We are ready to launch our discussion on creating a democracy, governance and human rights network for journalists in Africa!
Just to recap, this online discussion will explore whether Africa needs a democracy, governance and human rights network for journalists, and if yes, how it would function and what purpose it would have. If the discussion is very much in favour of such a network, we are hoping that it can be used by organisations, who would like to be involved in creating such a network or be part of this network, to advocate for such a network and to possibly even develop a proposal to obtain funding for such an initiative.
The discussion is based around a recent poll featured on the Soul Beat Africa Democracy and Governance (D & G) themesite http://www.comminit.com/governance-africa/ The poll received a great response and 89% of the votes were in favour of a governance, democracy, and human rights journalism network in Africa.
The discussion will seek to address the following issues: 1) Are you aware of such a network having been discussed or planned and why do you think there is no such network in Africa today? 2) Do you think Africa needs a D & G and human rights journalism network? What role do journalists and the media play in promoting democracy, governance and human rights in Africa? (sharing of projects and experiences) 3) As a journalist, media organisation, or NGO working in D & G, how could such a network strengthen the work that you are doing? 4) What function should this network have? 5) How should this network be set up? 6) What are some of the challenges of setting up a continental (or even regional) journalism network?
If you know of anyone who would be interested in joining this discussion, please forward this email to them. They can register here http://networks.comminit.com/user/register (select Soul Beat Africa Democracy and Governance Network).
To kickstart the discussion, lets first explore where we are at today. A preliminary review shows that Africa has a science journalism network, environmental networks (continental as well as regional), and various health related networks. Besides an investigative journalism network and the recently launched Journalists' Network for Peace and Security (NetPeace), there is no real journalism network dealing specifically with democracy, governance, and human rights issues.
Are you aware of an African journalism network focussing on democracy, governance and human rights having been discussed or planned (at a regional and/or continental level) by any organisation? And why do you think there is no such network in Africa today?

Anja - many thanks for this initiative. We all look forward to the ideas and responses of people engaged in this network concerning the desirability of an African journalism network focussing on democracy, governance and human rights.
As a comparative perspective I was recently in Colombia. Whilst in Medellin I was honoured to meet with a small group of community media leaders. There was little doubt that the networks to which they were all connected - for example a very extensive community media network across Colombia - had played an important role in advancing both overall journalism processes and deepening the media role related to democracy, governance and human rights.
Anja - thanks again for initiating this process. We all look forward to the dialogue, analysis and ideas that will flow.
Hi to the Soul Beat Africa D & G network, We know you are all very busy, but just wanted to send you a reminder. Do you have any thoughts on why there are no democracy, governance and human rights journalism networks in Africa? Is this field perhaps just too broad, or too sensitive, or do journalists just not identify themselves as democracy or human rights journalists - the way that someone might say that they are a health journalist or science journalist?

Hi all. Journalists in Africa need a lot of empowerment and this is usually achieved when like-minds come together to facilitate such.
Many practice journalism just to put food on the table. Even though I strongly believe that poverty is an excuse many use to continue to do the wrong thing.
Not to digress, Africa has come a long way in its attempt to become a fully functional democratic player, thus, are journalists doing enough to hold government officials accountable?
Therefore, we need to develop the mindset to ensure that we achieved this need for good governance that Africans are craving for.
To sum, we require to create such a group.
Hi to the Soul Beat D & G network, Just as a quick reminder - this discussion is based around a recent poll featured on the Soul Beat Africa Democracy and Governance (D & G) themesite http://www.comminit.com/governance-africa/ The poll received a great response and 89% of the votes were in favour of a governance, democracy, and human rights journalism network in Africa.
Do you all agree and if so, what role do journalists and the media play in promoting democracy, governance and human rights in Africa? If you are working on any projects/research, please share them with us.
Also, is there anyone in this group who believes that Africa does NOT need such a network or who has reservations about creating such a network?
If you have any other projects, research, or resources to share or just want to comment on the Mwananchi Programme, you can either respond to this email by hitting reply or you can click the "Read More" link below and log in and submit your response online.
Hi. Your question fascinates me. Since 1972, when dad Norman Macrae and I first saw young people sharing knowledge around a digital network, we have been concerned to map pro-youth connections between Economics, Media and Education (EME) Our finding (catchphrased in dad's Entrepreneurial Revolution dialogues in The Economist since 1972) is: this triad systemises what is possible in networking all life-shaping apps (such as health , nutrition, energy, financial services, communally safe place leadership ,,,).. In particular, ER questions how to compound goodwill , transparency and exponential sustainability to multiply future value in ways that could empower leaders to invest in 2010s youth co-producing the net generation's most vital goals.
My question to you is does a journalist network (of the sort you visualise) exist anywhere let alone africa? If if does let's see it and map how it emerged. I would recommend that any qualifying journalist read the last 3 pages of Keynes General Theory where he clarifies that economists either design or destroy the futures that peoples want most (2010s is most exciting decade to be alive because systems at times of unprecedented change in interconnectivity spiral to one of these two opposite end-games). Arguably every journalist needs to be able to question pro-youth economics, or better yet every child needs to be empowered to be a pro-youth journalist as these <a href="http://thelearningweb.net"">New Zealand Schools have been testing since 1984.
There may be networks in Latin America and I will ask our Latin American partner, Communication Initiative Latin America (CILA) about it and get back to you.
Hi to the D & G network, I have just heard back from our colleagues in Latin America and according to them Latin America also has no formal network of democracy or human rights journalists.
I mentioned these before but here is some more detailed information on some of the existing African journalism networks: - African Federation of Science Journalists (AFSJ) http://www.africansciencejournalists.com/ We also have an East African network http://www.scidev.net/en/science-communication/networking/news/science-journalism-network-for-east-africa-launched.html and a very recently launched West African network http://www.scidev.net/en/sub-suharan-africa/news/west-african-science-media-forum-to-stir-development-.html - Pan-African Health Journalism Network http://www.icfj.org/news/first-pan-african-health-journalism-network-created - African Network of Environmental Journalists http://www.anej.info/drupal/index.php?q=fr/content/about-anej They all basically exist to improve the quality and quantity of reporting by building capacity through training, online learning, or mentor programmes; and by providing a platform for networking to share ideas and experiences, collaborate on stories, share contacts etc. Some also incorporate some media monitoring function.
Do you think this could also be useful to journalists working on democracy, governance and human rights issues in Africa? Is working in this field different to working on health, science and environmental issues?
Following a recent meeting in Dakar, Senegal from 19 to 21 December 2012, on the occasion of the second edition of the High Level Workshop on the African of Peace and Security Architecture (APSA), they published the following declaration http://www.peaceau.org/en/article/declaration-of-netpeace As stated in the declaration, they are calling on journalists and the media which have not yet done so to join the Network of Journalists for Peace and Security in Africa (NetPeace). | 2019-04-23T04:20:36Z | http://networks.comminit.com/democracy-governance/node/35922 |
The following instructions work both in Sublime Text 2 and 3 unless mentioned otherwise.
The Lua Love Package provides syntax highlighting, snippets, autocompletion and build rules.
Install Package Control, restart Sublime.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette and use the Package Control: Install Package command.
Wait until another input field appears and install the Lua Love package.
In the command palette enable syntax highlighting with Set Syntax: Lua (Love).
In Sublime 3, you can use Ctrl+Shift+B to select the build system LuaLove - Love2D which from then on you can start using Ctrl+B.
Both Sublime 2 and 3 require the directory of your LÖVE binary to be part of your PATH variable. You can avoid this by changing the "love" path in the build script. This is more complicated in Sublime 3.
Create a new Build System: Tools -> Build System -> New Build System and use the following code.
Save it in the suggested location as love-run.sublime-build.
Now you can use Ctrl+B or Cmd+B to run your love project.
This build system depends on the location of your LÖVE binary. Check the path in the "cmd": line.
This build system doesn't seem to work if you have spaces in your $file_path.
By default the console in Sublime Text will not display any output, such as print() calls, until the LOVE application has been closed.
If there was an error during execution, you can use the F4 (next error) and SHIFT-F4 (previous error) to go through the errors that lua encountered.

A unique mesh fabric is woven into ELEOTIN�� PEDO-PROTECTION socks to provide further ventilation and support the feet's natural ability to self-regulate. Many people, especially diabetics, have decreased or lost the ability of self-regulating control. In healthy feet, when the temperature increases, the self-regulating ability causes the feet to sweat to naturally cool down. When the temperature decreases, the self-regulating ability stops sweat glands from producing moisture so that the feet can maintain heat. For people with impaired self-regulating control, the feet sweat or do not sweat at inappropriate times.
In ELEOTIN�� PEDO-PROTECTION socks, the Auto Regulating Mesh Top material aids the self-regulating mechanism. Tiny mesh holes grow larger when the feet sweat and swell to allow for increased ventilation. This prevents the possibility of the sweat glands over-producing. The mesh holes shrink with the absence of sweat and heat, which allows the feet to maintain healthy moisture and temperature. The mesh top works like a second layer of skin ? providing comfort to the feet.

SAUK RAPIDS, MINNESOTA (June 15, 2016) – After rain washed out the first attempt to run this show on Tuesday night, Jason and the JJR team were back at the track on Wednesday night eager to get their Weld Racing wheels turning at Granite City Speedway. There were 29 cars registered to race in the pit area on an overcast night in Minnesota. But the parking lot was brimming with cars and the fans were packed in the grandstands to see the best in the business go at it around the 3/8-mile, semi-banked oval.
When hot laps were completed, the time trial portion of the show was next on the agenda of action. Jason pushed off 19th to lay down his two quickest laps in the Waco Metal/Pro Powder Coating (PPC) #41.With the hammer down he flung the dirt his first time around stopping the clock at 11.460 seconds. Staying on the gas he turned another consistent lap at 11.609 seconds. When the final checkers fell over the track for time trials, his first lap time was 12th quick overall.
In the third heat race, the #41 driven by the Ragin’ Cajun was perched on the outside of row two. Shane Stewart and Paul McMahan had their white cars on the front row as Jason had his black, orange and yellow Priority Aviation Services, LLC/BMRS Maxim beside third starting Danny Lasoski. When the green flag waved, Jason made a bold move by McMahan who stumbled at the start of the race. Sitting in the second position, Jason was chasing Stewart lap after lap and followed him across the finish line to earn a coveted spot in the Dash. Lasoski came home in third with Brooke Tatnell, Jacob Allen and Paul McMahan securing the final transfer spots from the heat race.
With the assistance of a fan named Gracie, the zero pill was pulled which meant Jason would get started from the sixth starting spot in the Dash. It was an all-Outlaw Dash as Joey Saldana and Kerry Madsen were in row one with Shane Stewart and Daryn Pittman in row two. Sharing row three with Jason was Brad Sweet. When the green flag waved, Stewart and Pittman were racing tight and banging wheels. Keeping his distance Jason cruised behind them as Madsen would take the victory ahead of Stewart, Saldana, Sweet and Pittman with Jason rounding out the field.
In the 30-lap feature event, the front three rows were established with the Dash finish. The Eunice, Louisiana speedster had his new Shell Shock custom painted Bell Helmet on and was ready to battle for positions around Granite City Speedway’s racy little oval. After the four-wide salute to all the wonderful fans in Minnesota who came out to show their support, it was time to go racing. When the yellow lights were dimmed and the green flag waved, the sound of engines reverberated through the air and around the racing facility. Jason was in a tight battle for position as Kerry Madsen took the early lead with Shane Stewart stalking him close behind. Jason was maneuvering at speed and would climb up to fifth before surrendering a few positions and falling back to seventh just before the midway point of the race when a red flag was displayed for Greg Wilson who flipped after making contact with Donny Schatz who was slowing due to mechanical issues. When racing resumed, Shane Stewart was now your leader and the Cajun Sensation started his march forward moving into the sixth position. With ten laps to go he moved into the top five and was chasing down Pittman with a few to go. Stewart would go on to take the win ahead of Brad Sweet, Kerry Madsen and Pittman, as Jason brought the Fischer Body Shop/Maxim Racing #41 home in the fifth spot. It was his eleventh top five as we approach the half way point of the season. A great run for the forty one! | 2019-04-26T12:07:41Z | http://jasonjohnsonracing.com/cajun-sensation-invades-sauk-rapids-minnesota-and-grabs-a-fifth-place-finish-at-granite-city-speedway-aboard-the-priority-aviation-services-llc-41/ |

For over two decades now, we have focused on just one thing – moving vehicles as efficiently, easily and safely as possible. When developing our new model, the focus has been on ergonomics, safety, and creating a high-performance machine in a smaller format.
The Stringo S2 is intended for those seeking a reliable and flexible vehicle mover. The machine has everything you need to move vehicles weighing up to 2 000 kg efficiently. In common with its larger siblings in the S range, this model has a modern design, making it easier to move vehicles indoors.
The Stringo S2 is the natural aid to small and medium-sized businesses, dealer showrooms, workshops, private collectors, etc., where fewer and shorter moves of lighter vehicles are required. The Stringo S2 has an operating time of five hours, improved ergonomics and greater safety for both the operator and the vehicles you want to move. The low drive unit provides excellent visibility during both loading and unloading. Thanks to our various add-on options and customizations, the Stringo S2 is a versatile machine with big possibilities.
We have put all the regular maintenance information in one place to facilitate servicing and maintenance. Looking after your Stringo properly should be problem-free.
We never leave anything to chance and the Stringo S-series illustrates that clearly.
The throttle and brake are controlled with the same lever. The brake is activated when the throttle lever is released.

Hi Gordon, I bought the IR atu from you a few weeks ago and wanted to tell you how happy I am with it. The unit works perfect and doesn't miss a beat. I have had a few atu units in the past and this is by far the best with all the daily needs and demands of a reef keeper taken care of.
Hi Gordon, Just a short email regarding my recent purchase of an AWC 57, which I would concede, has been one of the best acquisitions I have made in relation to my marine hobby. I would endorse this unit to anyone in the hobby, the ease of operation, the minimal intrusion caused to the tank's inhabitants, the eradication of containers/buckets and heavy lifting make it a 'must have'! Regards - Mike.
Hi Gordon, I ordered an ATU and AWC from yourself a good few weeks ago. I've had the ATU set up for a while now but have used the AWC tonight as my cycle is finally coming to an end. I just wanted to say how fantastic both products are. If I'm honest I was a little sceptical that the ATU could be as good as my last one, a Tunze Osmolator. How surprising it has been to find that it is actually significantly better. Far easier to set up, far easier to adjust and far less prone to little hiccups. As for the AWC - where have you been all my life Thanks and keep up the good work!

© Provided by AFPRelaxNews The Louvre attracts nine million visitors per year.
According to a study conducted by Holidu, a vacation rental search engine, the Parisian museum tops a list of the most popular museums in Europe on Instagram, ahead of the Tate Modern in London and the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg.
With its vast collection of art and antiquities, the Louvre attracts nine million visitors per year.
It is also mentioned in more than three million posts on Instagram, a huge figure that has made the Parisian palace the social network's most popular museum in Europe.
Placed second in the popularity rankings, the Tate Modern has 787,298 hashtag posts. The museum, which is housed in a former power station, welcomes five million visitors each year. In 2016, the London institution opened a brand new building.
Third on the popularity podium, hashtags for Saint Petersburg's Hermitage museum feature in 532,523 posts. The former residence of the Russian tsars is the world's largest museum in terms of the number of objects on show, with more than 60,000 pieces exhibited in close to 1,000 rooms.
With three other museums in the top 10 -- the Louis Vuitton Foundation, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges-Pompidou -- France is the most featured country in the rankings. | 2019-04-22T22:34:29Z | http://www.msn.com/en-nz/travel/news/the-louvre-is-the-most-popular-european-museum-on-instagram/ar-BBP5eMd |
Quantum confinement is to limit the size of the waves like you do in a guitar string by shortening the size of the string with your finger. Only in this case you are doing the same to the wave of light by limiting the wave by decreasing the size of the material to nano scale. That effect results in a change in the colour being emitted given that the colour differences are there due to the change in wavelengths. Hence you are getting a variety of different colours from the same material just like you can get a variety of tunes from the same string by shortening its length by holding it. This can have a wide range of applications (including sensors).
Professor Mittleman: The reason that a chunk of gold is gold-colored has to do with the electronic level structure of the metal. In other words, it is a quantum effect, not easily explained by ordinary classical physics.
When you make gold small, there are additional effects, completely unrelated to the electronic level structure, which dictate the color. In other words, the reason that macroscopic gold is gold-colored has essentially nothing to do with the reason that nano-gold is red. It is not as if this is a shift from yellow to red - instead, it is a completely different mechanism. In the case of a metal like gold, the mechanism is the excitation of a plasmon, which is a collective oscillation of all the electrons in the nanoparticle.
The brief description of quantum confinement is applicable to semiconductors, where the number of free electrons is small (e.g., one per nanoparticle). When you have just one electron per nanoparticle, the dominant issue is the energy for that electron to be excited or de-excited - that is, the quantum confinement effect. On the other hand, in a metal the number of electrons is large, even in a nanoparticle (e.g., one per atom), so the description is understandably quite different. In that case, the electrons do not need to be excited out of chemical bonds in order to be free, so the energy of excitation is no longer an issue. Instead, you have the possibility of having all the electrons oscillating together, like water sloshing back and forth in a jar. That's a plasmon. And that's why nano-gold is red.
Me: So does this mean that metals in general are exceptions to quantum confinement at nano scale given that metals will generally have much more than 1 free electron per nano particle or does this stand for gold only (why not other metals if in this case)? In short, the plasmon concept supersedes in case of all metals?
Secondly, does quantum confinement still have a partial effect on the net result when talking of gold? As in, a participation to a minor extent as the size of the particles still has been reduced? Or does quantum confinement has no effect at all in case of gold for the reasons you gave (having more free electrons) and the change in colour is fully credited to plasmon?
1. I would not say that metals are an exception. I would say it a slightly different way. In semiconductors, the natural size of an electronic excitation (which is really both an electron and a hole, not just an electron) is in the range of 10 nanometers or larger, so quantum confinement is a big deal when your particle size is in that range. In contrast, in metals, the effective size of a free electron is much smaller, so that they still behave the same even if the metal particle is only 2 nanometers across - they don't feel 'squeezed' at all by the small size of the particle, since they're smaller. Pretty much any metal will exhibit plasmon effects, similar to gold. Gold is the one we talk about most often because it is one of the easiest nanoparticles to make. But color changes due to plasmons can be seen in any nano-metal.
2. The change in color of metal nanoparticles is entirely due to plasmonic effects. (Well, I guess I should say "almost entirely" just to hedge my bets, but I think it is really entirely.) In other words, you can describe the change in color using purely classical physics, with no quantum mechanics at all (since plasmons are essentially a classical phenomenon). Quantum confinement (in semiconductor particles) cannot be described using classical physics, so it is really a different thing entirely.
Now the question is how does quantum confinement affect the colour when the the applications of such do not actually go below the size of the atoms (which is ~ 0.1 nm) and actually don't directly squeeze the emission at atomic level? The relation is similar to a skier sking on a mountain and the height of the mountain. In this analogy, electron is the skier ofcourse. This can also be defined in semi conductors in relation to the exciton created by the absorption of light when electrons jump from their valance state to conducting state by absorbing energy. The electron leaves behind a hole and either drifts apart from it due to voltage or the hole and the electron start to orbit each other, hence creating an exciton. These excitons are much larger than a hydrogen atom and are the physical entity being directly affected by the quantum confinement in such cases as they may range from 2.3 nm (in ZnO) to 46 nm (in PbSe). Quantum confinement here directly affects their size and hence the levels at which they can exist due to the size of the material and this changes the colour the emit from red to green and to blue as the size gets smaller. This is also used to create 'quantum wells' by trapping excitons of different energy levels (say red trapped in green) in each other so that they can only travel in their plane and not in 3D. What use is a quantum well to us? They have a wide range of applications starting from DVD and CD lasers as well as the coloured (eg. red) lasers in laser pointers. Mass manufacturing the quantum well lasers are set of parallel processes which makes them inexpensive; a few rupees a piece.
Quantum confinement in 3D; quantum dots, can be used to form optical fibres with near zero energy loss (hence data loss) over long distances making a possibility for extremely reliable and high data transfer rates.
Quantum confinement in 2D; quantum wires, to solve the 'wiring problem' in nanotechnology where we have the nano components but are limited to wire them using larger sized wiring, to create P-N junctions and hence transistors in a whole new paradigm or even to be used as sensors.
Quantum confinement in 1D; quantum wells, can be used to create lasers and other light emitters as explained above.
Quantum confinement as a nano-physics concept can be applied to engineering applications that make life easier and technology the high end either in designing sensors or otherwise. Pakistan should soon take up its role on the high end of technology as these are concepts not far from the grasps of Pakistani engineers. | 2019-04-24T00:29:36Z | http://blog.highbrows.pk/2013/12/quantum-confinement.html |

In addition to my sweet tooth, thanks to my father’s job, Tokyo was my hometown for 18 years. As a tribute to my father and the country where we shared wonderful experiences, I created chocolate cupcakes using Japanese tofu.
Some risks are worth taking. Substituting Japanese tofu for water when making chocolate cupcakes works! Yes, I used a cake mix. My apologies to the purists. The tofu made the cupcakes light in texture while delivering full chocolate flavor. Tofu does tend to take on the dominant taste.
Lesson learned, though, from experiments with custard and tofu. Coconut cream (or half-and-half) makes for tastier custard filling for chocolate cupcakes. Whether you make chocolate or Japanese green tea matcha filling, coconut cream creates a consistency perfect for piping. For fancier cupcakes, cover the filled cupcakes with fondant.
However you choose to make desserts this Father’s Day, please enjoy each sweet moment.

Vanessa Jackson often sounds more like a sculptor than a painter when talking about her own work. She refers to ‘whittling away’, ‘carving out’, and ‘polishing into existence’, when describing how the dynamic shapes evolve. She enjoys doing woodblock prints for the reason that in these, the compositions really can be carved out.
Eileen Cooper’s large oil paintings and charcoal drawings deal incessantly with personal relationships. She says that her ideas tend to cone out in an unpredictable way through the activity of painting, but there is a fascination with the bond between mother and child through out her work.
The most striking feature of Jeff Lowe’s work is his interest in African carvings, which he esteems as some of the most remarkable sculptures ever produced. He is strongly influenced by it’s formal language: the subtle shifting angles, the inclination of figure pieces, the precise definition of levels and the contrast between the lavish decoration and solidity of such art works.
The New Year starts at the Castlefield Gallery with an exhibition of recent work by Fabian Peake, entitled “New York Thoughts”, which runs from the 10th January – 16th February 1986.
These brightly and imaginatively coloured paintings and gouaches were inspired by the artist’s recent visit to the States. | 2019-04-22T06:34:50Z | https://www.castlefieldgallery.co.uk/events/?archive-year=1986 |
