Your honor, I rise on the question of privilege to lay attention on a very important matter concerning our city’s historical heritage.
On July 16, which is 3 days from now, we will be celebrating our 56th City Charter Anniversary, which also coincides with the feast of our Birhen sa Cotta, the subject for veneration of Catholic faithful, particularly the Marian Devotees.
My dear colleagues, through the passage of time, this has become a religious phenomenon, whereby every July 16th the shrine of the Blessed Virgin, situated at the southern wall of the Fort, has been the pilgrimage site for devotees.
Therefore, it is essential for us to restore, preserve and conserve whatever relic found in this site, so that we and the future generation that may follow, will also experience the physical connections of our past. Your Honors, I rise not merely to remind each and every one of that fact, which I understand we are all knowledgeable about; but rather , I would like to emphasize that as a premise for your concern as to what I should wish to drive your interest into.
Let me cite some historical accounts. Unknown to most of us, there were actually two images of the Blessed Virgin in the Fort; one of which is what we presently known as the Virgen sa Cotta. According to the Jesuit Historian Fr. Miguel Bernad, the image that we come to known as our Virgen sa Cotta was hang over the postern gate of the fort; but then, the gate was walled up and the image was placed on the southern wall of the fort. Further, Fr. Bernad revealed that the other image of the Blessed Virgin was ensconced in the wooden chapel inside the fort.
When the Americans took over the garrison, the fort became their sole domain, thus the Chapel was destroyed. The Catholic faithful then transferred the Blessed Virgin’s image to the town church.
According to Fr. Bernad, during his visits here since the 1970’s onward, the image had been gone. Probably, it could have ended up in the hands of antique collectors, Fr. Bernad sought the help of them Chief of the Philippine Constabulary, Fidel Ramos to assist in the search of the image of the Blessed Virgin but nothing ever surfaced. This year, the fort shall celebrate its 248 years since its contractions in 1756.
It is my simple hope, that as we commemorate the 248th years of the Fort’s existence, what has been left in the Fort, whatever relics there may be shall be gathered intact; more so, that we find the image of the Blessed Virgin.
Although the image can be accounted as the property of the Catholic Church; nevertheless, it has very significant value to our city’s long history, hence, our involvement in finding it is called for.
Let us spearhead the search now. Your Honors, this humble representation is thinking of a measure to urge the National Historical Institute and the National Bureau of Investigation to search the missing image of the Blessed Virgin; and we might as well involve the Department of Foreign Affairs for this might have been stolen and sold abroad.
Let us then task a special body in the LGU for this effort. I am asking for your support in this measure as soon as I move for its passage at the appropriate time during this session. Thank you. | 2019-04-26T10:40:04Z | http://ozamizcity.gov.ph/2017/12/08/in-search-of-the-blessed-virgin/ |
A proposal to expand casino gambling at a Hot Springs horse track and at Southland Park Gaming & Racing, and to allow casinos in Pope and Jefferson counties, has been approved for the November ballot in Arkansas.
Secretary of State Mark Martin’s office announced this week that supporters of the proposed constitutional amendment raised more than enough signatures from registered voters to put the proposal on the ballot. Almost 85,000 signatures were required; supports submitted 99,988 valid signatures.
If voters approve the measure, casinos will be allowed at the Southland greyhound track in West Memphis and at Oaklawn, which is a horse track in Hot Springs where the Arkansas Derby is hosted. These tracks offer video poker and other forms of electronic gambling already.
Furthermore, casinos in Jefferson and Pope Counties, both near Little Rock, will be permitted. Sports betting would be legal at all four approved facilities.
Arkansas is one of the few states with no casino, mostly due to a gaming-skeptical public and conservative interest groups. Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson said on Wednesday that he opposes the measure. The Arkansas Family Council, a conservative group against the expansion of gambling in Arkansas, said it will work with religious authorities to fight the amendment.
Driving Arkansas Forward is the organization powering this ballot measure. It’s working to increase support for gambling, saying that new gambling options will raise at least $120 million in yearly tax revenue. The state is in need of an influx of revenue, particularly for roads.
Tribes in neighboring Oklahoma, the Quapaw and Cherokee, have put forward most of the almost $2.2 million raised to fund the measure. These tribes both have casinos on sovereign tribal land in Oklahoma, but have no federally recognized reservations in Arkansas. If the measure passes, they could apply to own and operate casinos in both Jefferson and Pope Counties.
Supporters of the measure say that right now, sports betting and other gambling revenue is leaving Arkansas and going to casinos in neighboring states. The pro-casino group Driving Arkansas Forward, want to pull that money back into Arkansas.
If the measure receives voters’ approval, Arkansas would be the very first state to legalize sports gambling by amending its state constitution. This could be a landmark move to show other states how to legalize, many of which have failed to pass legislation or regulations due to debates on procedure.
Arkansas would be the second state in the southeast to offer legal sports betting, after Mississippi. Both Louisiana and Oklahoma have considered it, but haven’t yet done so. Legalization in Arkansas could be motivational for those states to also move forward.
The Arkansas Derby is a huge revenue generator for Oaklawn, and if the measure is passed, sports betting would bring in a lot more revenue. Oaklawn and Southland showed $5 billion in gambling revenue last year alone, without sports betting being offered. This was an increase from $4.81 billion in 2016. That revenue meant millions of dollars every month for state coffers.
Neither Southland nor Oaklawn has announced a public opinion on the ballot measure. | 2019-04-24T09:52:48Z | https://www.gamblingsites.org/news/arkansas-approves-a-proposal-to-legalize-casinos-and-sports-betting/ |
By the early 1970s, Roland had earned a business degree from the University of Nebraska, and had worked as materials manager at Notifier Co., which at the time was making security alarms in Lincoln, Nebraska. He always had an interest in engineering, drawing and machines, and although he held a business position at Notifier, he couldn’t help but be fascinated by their machine shop.
The machine shop manager at Notifier, Jerry Granger, was responsible for introducing Roland to the world of machining. The opportunity to set up a machine shop came in 1974, with a contract to produce all of the machined parts for Magnefax audio tape duplicating machines.
TMCO began operation in a small, eight-hundred-and-fifty-square-foot metal building sandwiched between the railroad tracks south of downtown Lincoln. In order to convince the landlord of his long-term commitment, Roland told him that he would eventually need to rent the larger, adjacent concrete building as well. Although he may have doubted his own projection at the time, TMCO would go on to not only occupy that concrete building, but own it. TMCO’s machine shop still operates out of that concrete building today, and while additions have been built to house TMCO’s ever-growing collection of increasingly advanced machines, the little metal building still stands as a reminder of TMCO’s primitive history and the power of hard work and a dream.
In the 1980s, TMCO purchased some product lines of its own – the National Walking Sprinkler and National Manufacturing Cereal Chemistry. The National Walking Sprinkler, the original tractor walking sprinkler, had been made in Lincoln since the 1930s, and is still made at TMCO today.
National Manufacturing Cereal Chemistry is a full line of equipment used for industrial analysis of bread and grains. It includes ovens, mixers, fermentation cabinets and yeast gas meters, and seed sorters that are now produced and sold by TMCO. Since 1939, National Manufacturing had been supplying analysis equipment for the world’s largest industry–food science and production. The National equipment was one of the first products that TMCO shipped worldwide, making them an international company. In fact, about seventy-five percent of TMCO’s National Manufacturing sales are shipped overseas to food science laboratories in universities and laboratories around the globe.

A unique strength of TMCO is its Metal + Art division. When Metal + Art originally started in the 1990s, the goal was to make products out of TMCO’s scrap metal. Eventually it became a liaison of TMCO’s capabilities of metal fabrication to architects, developers, artists, designers and other high-input clientele. Metal + Art’s products can be found all over the world. In Lincoln, almost every block of Downtown and the Haymarket has some of TMCO’s Metal + Art influence. Just a few examples include the Rotary Pavilion dome at the Sunken Gardens, the awnings at the Arbor Day foundation, the sculpture in front of the International Quilt Museum and the ZOO sign at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo.
TMCO started as a one-man shop, but through hard work and dedication to quality and innovation, every year brought new contracts with which TMCO could buy new machines, hire new employees and expand the size of its shop floor. Today, in addition to a state-of-the-art machine shop, TMCO has an even bigger fabrication shop with lasers, punches and a waterjet for cutting sheet metal and tubing, CNC benders and welders and an automated powdercoat line.

A proposal to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines in Oregon has been submitted as a ballot initiative petition intended to prevent mass shootings.
“A reduction in the availability of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines will promote the public health and safety of the residents of this state,” the initiative petition says.
Military personnel, law enforcement and members of the government could be exempt from the ban.
Gun advocates denounced the proposal, saying it represents an unprecedented attack on the public’s constitutional right to bear arms.
If eligible, a person could register the assault weapon or high capacity magazine with Oregon State Police, subject to number of requirements (see full text below).
Post said he didn't expect the initiative petition to be successful, and noted that no Democratic leaders had voiced support of the proposal. | 2019-04-21T04:33:30Z | https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/oregon-initiative-would-ban-assault-weapons-require-owners-to-surrender-certain-guns/291-530774876 |
NON-CONTRACT winger Danny Pilkington has been challenged to get nastier by York City manager Gary Mills.
But the Bootham Crescent chief also admitted Pilkington is edging closer to a permanent deal after playing a “major” role in City’s return to winning ways at Lincoln on Saturday.
The Minstermen ended a run of four league games without a victory when they triumphed 2-0 with the impressive Pilkington setting up team-mate Matty Blair for the second of his goals to help secure three points.
Mills hailed Pilkington’s contribution but called on him to stop being so nice.
The City boss said: “Pilks had an average first half (at Lincoln) and got in some good positions but didn’t deliver. We addressed that with him at half-time because I think he’s the best crosser of a ball in the club.
“We just want him to show that more consistently, which he did in the second half. I want him to show what an excellent player he can be.
“I think he’s too nice but I’ve worked with nice people before who are horrible on the pitch. If he gets a bit more of that into his game, he will kick on because he played a major part in getting us three points.
Pilkington was preferred to right-footed Ashley Chambers on City’s left flank and Mills felt his ability to send in centres with both boots was another bonus at Sincil Bank.
Having conceded goals in the opening 20 minutes of four of the last five matches, Mills was also pleased to end that worrying trend against the Imps with captain Chris Smith, returning from suspension, preferred to Jamal Fyfield as Daniel Parslow’s centre-half partner and Jon Challinor also earning a recall at right-back as Lanre Oyebanjo dropped out.
Blair scored both of his goals in the second half, taking his season’s tally to ten – one short of his haul for Kidderminster in 2010/11.
New signing Scott Brown, meanwhile, completed 90 minutes on his full debut after moving to the club from Fleetwood.
Mills, meanwhile, did not want to elaborate on the reasons he named goalkeeping coach Paul Musselwhite as a substitute at Sincil Bank despite normally going without an understudy for Michael Ingham on the bench but confirmed it was not because of an injury concern to the latter.

Every day that she puts on shorts and tank tops to run is another “training run” in building up body confidence, says Elizabeth Comeau.
I just detest running in the summer.
It’s hot. It seems harder than normal.
But if I am being honest, those arent' the real reasons why I hate summer running.
Actually, it’s the lack of clothes.
It’s not the actual fashion or gear. It’s that voice in my head that sees the flap and sway underneath my bicep when I wear tank tops, and the quad muscles that could squash someone that seem to scream while trying to escape my running shorts.
I don't hate my body, but I’m not quite comfortable in summer run clothes.
I’d rather run in the freezing cold, in the dead of winter, than run in the summer simply because of the wardrobe.
I was made for turtlenecks (that's what my inner critic says, anyway).
In the winter, I can pile on the clothes, layer after layer and head out the door looking like that kid from the movie “Christmas story” who can’t put his arms down, and it is awesome. I'd rather look like Ralphie than wear simply spandex shorts and a tank top any day of the week.
I mean, I do it, but it makes me wildly uncomfortable despite the fact that I have worked hard to get stronger and fitter than I have ever been.
I’ve gained muscle and lost 80 lbs of fat in the last 3 years. I’ve run marathons, half marathons, and completed triathlons.
And, as a person who feels generally confident, it bothers me to no end that simple workout clothes could send my self-confidence into my gut, whip it into a frenzy, and make me feel like I swallowed a batch of bees.
So how’s a gal supposed to get over that?
I am using the same tactic I used when I first started running and found it scary and overwhelming: I just keep doing it.
Every day that I put on the spandex shorts and tank tops to run is another “training run” in building up my confidence – only it’s not the miles I’m trying to work up to. Instead, I’m trying to work up to that moment where I feel comfortable wearing shorts and a sports bra on a hot run.
I remember the first time I ran a mile I thought I was going to die – it was so scary because it was an unknown. For weeks I just ran one, single, mile until running a mile felt like no big deal – and downright normal.
I kept at it, just tackling the same thing over and over until I felt comfortable.
That’s where I am with summer running and summer workout gear. I keep putting it on because I know NOT running in the summer is not an option for a gal who loves the sport as much as I do (and I'm from New England, weather does not stop us -- ever).
And, as with my running, at some point, the skimpier summer run clothes will start to feel like just another run-of-the-mill part of my routine.
But, in the meantime, a part of me will still secretly love running in the winter more.

Cornwall is a gorgeous part of the country with some of the UK’s most dramatically sweeping landscapes and best beaches.

Put on your checked shirts, it’s creativity day!
It’s World Creativity & Innovation Day (21 April), closing out International Creativity Week. Hooray! Aren’t we all so creative?
Yes. And, no. Well, you can be. It depends. We’re here to tell you it’s time to reconsider your view of the creative industries. Specifically of companies broadly termed “creative agencies.” So many people lean on them for innovation. If you’re one of them, pause for thought.
People who find creative agencies’ claims to innovative brilliance over-the-top may sympathise. Fear not, we will also show you how to overcome.
You see, there is a large (and growing) body of evidence that the more diverse a team is, the more likely it is to come up with creative thinking.
Innovate for their target consumers – 158% more likely!
Further, research by Deloitte supports the CTI conclusions on innovation, finding it 83% more likely that companies with an inclusive team will develop innovative solutions and 31% more likely that they will be responsive to their consumers’ changing needs.
Backing this up at an even more basic level, in-depth quantitative analysis of US corporate results demonstrates that companies with a good diversity record have significantly higher revenue, number of customers and profitability.
Not so good. The Creative Industries Federation diversity report shows the industry is way behind the UK national average for the proportion of BAME, women, sexuality, age and socio-economic background.
So, odds are that if you’re hiring external consultants in the creative field they’re probably set up to be less creative in the solutions they find than you are.
Sure, people are trying to take action and these things always take time to change. Especially when you’re not set up to come up with the most creative solutions in the first place.
This doesn’t mean you have to settle for seeking innovation and creativity from a non-inclusive bunch.
Reluctantly Brave is set up to channel creativity because we’re inclusivity-hard-wired. It’s about ensuring underrepresented groups get into the industry both because it’s the right thing to do and because it produces better results for clients.
Our Chief is one of the only black creative agency leaders in the UK.
We have diversity of experience as a hiring criterion.
Our (Young) Braves program pioneers the creative benefits of inclusivity for clients.
We mentor young people from diverse backgrounds with an interest in starting or advancing their careers in the sector.
We’re not pretending that creating the right, inclusive blend is easy. However, we know we are way ahead of the curve. We figure that if you need innovation and creativity then ahead of the curve is where you want to be. Inclusion is how you get there. | 2019-04-23T00:02:37Z | http://blog.reluctantlybrave.com/2017/04/put-on-your-checked-shirts-its-creativity-day/ |

We’re nearing the end of the year, which means we’re already beginning to turn our attention to the next year, aren’t we? Now for most of us, that means we’re evaluating the year that was, and starting to determine, how can we do better in the year ahead? In this edition of 3 Minute Thursdays, I want to give you three quick productivity tips that I think will actually make a difference. You can watch it in Facebook or YouTube formats, or read the transcript below.
We’re nearing the end of the year, which means we’re already beginning to turn our attention to the next year, aren’t we? Now for most of us, that means we’re evaluating the year that was, and starting to determine, how can we do better in the year ahead? In this edition of 3 Minute Thursdays, I want to give you three quick productivity tips that I think will actually make a difference. We’ll get three minutes on the clock, and we will get to it.
The first tip is this. Do not expect quick fixes. See, most of us look back and we see all kinds of missed opportunities, we see so much lazy living in the year that went by, and so the temptation we face is to look for some kind of a quick fix. Something that requires very little effort but makes a huge difference, as if life ever works like that. Just imagine your house is shakey, it’s falling down. You know you can’t just go and slap a new coat of paint over it, right? As if that will fix it. You can’t just tape over the cracks. You’ve got to dig down, you’ve got to reinforce the foundation, you’ve got to address the source of the problem. When it comes to productivity, that’s exactly what we need to do. We need to put some time, we need to put some effort into it. So why don’t you determine you’ll set aside some time to really consider what it means to be productive. To consider how you’ll grow in your productivity in the year ahead.
Here’s a second tip. Make your productivity about more than yourself. You see, when we consider being productive, we tend to have a lot of self-focus. What did I do? What did I accomplish in the year that went by? And as I think ahead, what are my goals? How can I have the kind of life that I want to have? It is far, far better to turn productivity away from yourself and to direct it, first to God, and then to other people. In other words, productivity is not first about doing what benefits you, but doing what benefits other people. It’s not first about gaining your self-recognition but gaining God recognition. The truly productive and satisfying life is one that’s directed to the good of others and to the glory of God. There’s far more satisfaction in that life than a life of doing what’s good for you and a life that’s ultimately about glorifying yourself.
Tip number three. Understand that productivity is best understood in terms of investment. As we evaluate the last year, we may measure success in terms of the number of things we accomplished, or even the size of the projects we completed. But there’s a better way to understand productivity. To do that, we need to see productivity as an investment. To see it in those terms. It’s not asking about what we did, or what we will do, but about where we made our investments. And where we’ll invest in the year ahead. Productivity is about investing, about making the best investment of my gifts, of my talents, of my time, of my energy, even of my enthusiasm. It’s about investing all of that in what’s good for others and what brings glory to God. Not just about using the eight or ten hours I commit every day to a job. Put it all together and we’ve got this.
Take some time as this year draws to a close, to consider this. In the year ahead, how can you use your gifts and your talents and your time and your energy and your enthusiasm in a way that does good to others and that brings glory to God. Consider that question, answer it in a satisfying way, and you’ll be well on your way to a truly productive year. That’s another edition of 3 Minute Thursdays, I hope you found it helpful and I’ll see you again really soon.

Brett Kavanaugh could play the lead in a new version of “The Crucible,” Arthur Miller’s celebrated play about an innocent man tested by the mob. The playwright was a man of the left, but his play reflects what can happen to a reputation anywhere when the dishonest unleashes poison.
It’s about outrage at the terror created by “subjective reality” when applied without evidence or proof. It’s about the personal savagery that can take over a decent society that becomes an unthinking mob out to destroy a decent man in the name of morality.
The playwright wrote “The Crucible” to describe a trial by ordeal. A crucible is a small laboratory dish where tests of metal provoke violent reaction when the heat is turned up. Arthur Miller uses the metaphor for testing the mettle of human conscience, exploring what happens when hysteria is ignited by heated but false accusations.
He saw what came to be known as McCarthyism, fostered by the far right in the 1950s, creating “a new subjective reality, a veritable mystique which was gradually assuming even a holy resonance.” But the screw turns. He would surely see today that the tale of Salem has become a tale of the left, with the Democrats of the Senate Judiciary Committee driven by the hysteria of intolerance. The destruction of Brett Kavanaugh and his family are loftily dismissed as merely collateral damage.
“Above all, above all horrors, I saw accepted the notion that conscience was no longer a private matter but one of state administration,” Mr. Miller wrote of the America that inspired “The Crucible.” In an introduction to his collected plays he wrote that “I saw men handing conscience to other men for the opportunity of doing so.” This should be required reading for Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein. Then they should read it as a bedtime story for Jeff Flake.
No one is calling her a liar, but her memory lapses then and now are prolific and disturbing. While much is made of her suffering from post traumatic syndrome (PTS) which has “affected her memory,” no one has diagnosed false memory syndrome (FMS), where a person’s identity and relationships are affected by memories falsely recalled. This term is not recognized as a psychiatric diagnosis, but it has been documented by reputable scientists who have found evidence of it, especially in children. But she’s not on trial. He is.
“The Crucible” was set in the hysteria of 17th century New England, where young women could not halt the chain reaction of accusations. The Kavanaugh hysteria is a 21st century reprise in the capital of a deeply troubled country. The #MeToo movement was founded on justified anger against powerful men eager to take advantage, and it has devolved into a movement to whip up lynch-mob hysteria over any accusation that touches on sexual assault, some proven and some not.
One of the protesters who accosted Jeff Flake in a Senate elevator told him she had been sexually assaulted and that if he voted to confirm Mr. Kavanaugh it would mean that “my assault doesn’t matter.” It means no such thing. Verdict now, evidence not necessary, is the legacy of Salem, extended to our time, our place. We’re capable of better than that.

"Characterizing Transgender Health Issues in Twitter" by Amir Karami, Frank Webb et al.
Although there are millions of transgender people in the world, a lack of information exists about their health issues. This issue has consequences for the medical field, which only has a nascent understanding of how to identify and meet this popu- lation’s health-related needs. Social media sites like Twitter provide new opportunities for transgender people to overcome these barriers by sharing their personal health experiences. Our research employs a computational framework to collect tweets from self-identified transgender users, detect those that are health-related, and identify their information needs. This framework is significant because it provides a macro-scale perspective on an issue that lacks investigation at national or de- mographic levels. Our findings identified 54 distinct health-related topics that we grouped into 7 broader categories. Further, we found both linguistic and topical differences in the health-related information shared by transgender men (TM) as com- pared to transgender women (TW). These findings can help inform medical and policy-based strategies for health interven- tions within transgender communities. Also, our proposed approach can inform the development of computational strategies to identify the health-related information needs of other marginalized populations.

Happy New Year! I hope youand your family have a wonderful 2009.
Looking back over 2008, I amgrateful once again to have been able to train with so many Buyῡ from around the world. Domo Arigato!
For our Buyῡ traininggroup, this summer markedthe eleventh anniversary of BuyῡCamp West in San Francisco under the Golden Gate Bridge on the Pacific Ocean, aswell as, a fifth Buyῡ Camp East in New Jersey. Click the respective links to see some photos. Buyῡ Camps are a great way to connect with old friends and get that "continuing education" and inspiration that will help you "keep going" when you get back to your own, local training group. See you in San Fran and/or NJ again in 2009!
I was in Japan for the Daikomyosai – Hatsumi Sensei's annual 3-day training event. It was an extra special training experience outside in Shimizu Koen (Park). It was wonderful to train outside among the beautiful turning leaves of the Japanese maples. We worked on the basics of our art; and it was a marvel to watch Hatsumi Sensei – at age 77, mind you! – rolling around on the ground, poking people with sticks, and bouncing heads off of trees. Our art is definitely made for the outdoors.
When I was a younger man, recently released from active duty in the Marines, I spent a fair amount of time in Shimizu Koen. In those days there usually weren't any other foreigners in Noda. It was a little lonely sometimes; but I had a routine. My day started out every morning (and I mean EVERY morning) with a breakfast of saba (an oily breakfast fish), rice and miso soup with the three ladies in my life: Oba-san (grandmother), Oka-san (mother), and daughter Mitsuke at the ryokan where I lived. After that I would read, write, and review my notes for a couple of hours. Then it was off to lunch at the one place I knew where I could get karaage (fried chicken) and a salad—something that remotely reminded me of food from home.
In the afternoon I would go visit Hatsumi Sensei, helping him with this or that, or just taking advantage of an excuse to be around him.
On the days that Sensei was busy or had patients, I would go down to the Edo river and follow it to Shimizu Koen, just walking around and practicing my movement skills. I had a sempai named Muramatsu who was drilling me in the kihon basics of our art, as well as, ninja walking, leaping and stealth movement. They say that the most important part of martial arts training is the training you do by yourself. I did a lot of it at Shimizu Koen.
In the evening there was usually training some place – Noguchi Sensei's or Ishizuka Sensei's dojo in Kashiwa (nicknamed "Samui Dojo" because it was unheated in the winter; it also had an outhouse that was an experience any time of the year). Sometimes we went to the local jinja shrine to train or take pictures.
The scariest place to train for me was the dojo of a man some of us met for the first time at the Daikomyosai in Shimizu Koen. The Vice President of the park is Mr. Kobayashi, who was introduced near the end of the training. Although it does not appear that he actively trains anymore, he was one of Hatsumi Sensei's first students many years ago, and one of the few who actually met Takamatsu Sensei. He spoke movingly about meeting his teacher's teacher and how awed he was by him. Kobayashi san came across as a very nice, modest gentleman. Let me tell you, though, 25 years ago he came across a little differently, as an accomplished – and serious – martial artist. And tough! It was great to see him, but he still makes me a little nervous!
I have been at virtually every Daikomyosai since Yuma Mura in 1983, and I don't know how many more times we will all get to meet at a Daikomyosai in the future, but 2008 in Shimizu Koen will stand out as an especially wonderful experience.
Some of the mostmotivating training I did,again in 2008, waswith the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP)in Quantico, Virginia. This fine program, led ably by my friend Joe Shusko (LtCol USMC ret.) covers thearmed and unarmed martial arts techniques and combat conditioning that a Marineneeds to walk the warrior path – both in combat and in daily life.
Joe's efforts to develop Ethical Marine Warriors through MCMAP makes him one of the unsung heroes of our nation. Developing Ethical Warriors is a synergistic process that clarifies, activates and sustains Warrior Ethics. Clarify means: What is the Warrior Ethic? Activate means: How do I get the feeling of it, deep in my conscience, deep in my “guts?” Sustain means: Once I get the feeling, how do I keep it from “wearing off,” especially under the stress of combat, but also through the challenges of everyday life?
The foundation of the Warrior Ethic is our 1776 value “all men are created equal,” which is an acknowledgement that there is a “Life Value” that is a universal value shared by all people. Actually, as Bob Humphrey pointed out, it is a dual value – self & others. The Dual Life Value – and its corollary, human equality – is the basic premise of the Warrior Ethic.
The great moral values, such as truth, freedom, charity, honor, courage, commitment, etc. have one thing in common – when they are functioning correctly, they are all life-protecting.
But they are still relative values. Our relative moral values must be constantly examined to ensure that they are always performing their life-protecting mission. For example, courage can become foolish martyrdom; commitment can become irrational fanaticism; honor can become self-righteousness, conceit, and disrespect for others. As relative moral values they must always remain grounded in the Life Value.
Ethics are moral values in action. It starts in the school yard. Most everybody knows that the bully is wrong – that's morality. But only a few will speak up to protect the one getting bullied by calling for a teacher – that's ethical behavior.
Even fewer will step in physically to actually protect the child being bullied – that’s the behavior of an Ethical Warrior.
Ethics are moral-physical. Moral people may want to step up and do the right thing, but they often lack the physical courage and ability. Martial arts gives them the necessary skills and confidence. And that is why Ethical Warrior training includes – and must include – martial arts.
Warriors protect life, even at risk of their own. And they kill only if necessary to protect life. Respect for the Dual Life Value sets them apart from those who may appear "moral" within the context of their own environment or culture, but who do not respect the lives of others outside their own "in" group.
"Saving the world is like mowing your lawn; you have to do it about once a week."
Sustainment is just a fancy word for consistency in your moral-physical training regimen. That is what "keep going" really means, Ithink. It means "keep training." Keep training, even whenthere just seems no way to make the time, even when you have a really goodexcuse to stop or "take a break." Never stop, even when yourlife becomes complicated or difficult (and it always does, for all of us). KEEP TRAINING ANYWAY!
Why is this so very important? The obvious answer is, that you just never know when you might need your physical skills. It could be never; it could be in 5 minutes. As a warrior, we are pledged to protect the life of self and others. We have the responsibility to stay sharp and physically ready.
But it is more than that. We are talking about the possibility of violence between human beings. The danger is more than physical; it is also psychological or spiritual. Forget the fantasies. There is sufficient evidence that real violence and killing is so abhorrent to normal humans that it is inherently damaging to virtually everyone who participates.Even if you "win," or even if it is "justified," exposure toviolence and/or killing is a life-altering event for most of us. In fact, it could be said that it would be unnatural if people DIDN'T get some degree of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) from exposure to violence. That is why, I believe, that the escaping or hidingnature of Ninpo is so important – it teaches that avoidance protects ourbodies and our spirits.
But, it is not always possible to avoid violence. Therefore, a physical-moral training regimen can inoculate the warrior from the stress of combat and mediate the effects of PTSD afterward. Hatsumi Sensei's unique training methodology has shown us the way. Professor Humphrey's Warrior Creed speaks to the ethic.
Warriors do twothings: they fight in wars; and when they are not fighting, they train. That's it. Everything else wraps around it. Hatsumi Sensei is stilltraining at 77. Professor Humphrey fought on IwoJima, then trained consistently untilthe end of his life. He knew what he was talking about.
If you areinterested in experiencing more of Robert L. Humphrey's Life Values teachings, we'll see you at the "Ethical Warrior" seminar next July in New Jersey.
And please consult the WIN seminar page periodically for detailsof all of our workshops.
People tend to struggle to reach some goal and think that life is fulfilled only whenthat goal is fulfilled. People don't appreciate their day to day life becausethey are too busy chasing whatever they think they should be. That is against"shiki" because it is an obsession of thought.
Interesting...shikiis usually used with other words nowadays to add the meaning of"knowing," "understanding," "acknowledging," and soforth.
But I believe Sensei is referring to the "shiki"which is more like an all-encompassing sense: Sense of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting,touching, etc. It is like the counterpoint to the concept of the void, or kuu –like an awareness of everything in every way. What we "think"is incomplete, therefore, and may be no more than an illusion. We must integrateall of our senses – and more. When we can do this, it is said, then we can glimpse the beginning of enlightenment.
As always, Ihesitate to say I "know" what Sensei is really saying until thelessons reveal themselves over the course of the training year. The best way to keepup with what Hatsumi is saying about training in 2009 is to go to Japan, ofcourse. But, between trips, I highly recommend Doug Wilson's blog. It appears that Hatsumi Sensei has already started to elaborate on someimportant concepts as they pertain to our training; check out Doug's blog hereto read more. There is also a lot of good information on Joji Ohashi'ssite here.
Each year I alsolike to introduce a complimentary "Buyῡ theme" of our own. Thisyear, the theme is "integration." We will start off the yearwith exercises that will help us better integrate the movements of our bodies, andthen move on to integration of our warrior training with the world outside thetraining hall. As I said above, warriors fight in wars, and when they are not fighting, they train. Most of us are too lucky or old (I am both!) to fight in a war. That meansthat there is nothing left but the training. Keep training and approachall of your life from the perspective of the Ethical Warrior. Sure, wehave jobs and families, etc., but bless your luck if you have not been called tofight – right now those folks are far from home, and have left their jobs andfamilies behind. Pray for them and keep training in 2009.
Thank you, Buyῡ, forhelping me to keep training this year! | 2019-04-21T12:28:08Z | http://www.livingvalues.com/theme2009.html |
Your business may be small, but your clients don’t have to be small. Landing a big corporate client can increase your revenue by 266% within the first two years of making a sale.
But landing such a big client can be intimidating to small business owners. Use the tips below to find and reel in your next big corporate client.
There are about 18,000 U.S. companies with more than 500 employees. These companies account for 60% of the revenue produced by American companies. That’s a large market, and approaching it in a random fashion will only set you up for failure.
Develop a clear marketing plan, and then take action.
Be prepared for large clients by making it easy to jump on board. Don’t make potential clients jump through hoops to order products or use your service.
Take a look at AvaCare Medical. They make it easy for large corporate clients to create an account and purchase items. Instead of requiring these clients to pay for orders upfront, they offer NET 30 terms.
A large client can easily take its business somewhere else. Make it as easy as possible to get what they need.
Start with the big fish in your pond. There’s a good chance that you’ll know someone who knows someone at one of these companies. Having an “in” will make it easier to talk to the decision makers, and you’ll be viewed as a friendly face – not a stranger with a hidden agenda.
Studies have shown that corporate decision makers put a lot of weight on a vendor’s location. The closer you are, the more attractive your products and/or services will be to the company.
In a way, this process is no different from trying to land a job. And when you’re trying to land a job, what do you do? You research the company, and you find ways to make your interactions more personal.
When doing your research, determine the company’s strengths and weaknesses. Find out about their future plans and the company’s history.
When you know the company’s pain points, you can present your product as a solution to their problem.
It’s also important to look into the health and future growth of the company. If it’s a public entity, you can read through their annual report. Also, look for mentions in the press to see where the company is headed.
Research should also include looking into the company’s decision makers. Senior employees are often mentioned in press releases or company news postings. Search for these individuals on social media platforms, like Twitter and LinkedIn. Gather as much information as you can from these sources to find some common ground. Knowing a little bit about the person will make it easier to break the ice and get the conversation moving in the right direction.
Landing a corporate client may take some planning and time, but the boost in revenue and brand awareness will make it worth the effort. | 2019-04-21T00:29:08Z | https://small-bizsense.com/4-tips-for-landing-big-corporate-clients/ |
While it might technically be a little dark purple dress depending on your lighting, today I decided to highlight one of Mako Magellan's latest releases, which is available from his women's shop in Caledonia. You might remember Magellan's Mister Darcy-esque visage from this post by Jasmine earlier this month.
Right now there are a lot of gowns and casual clothes for women, but there's still a lot of room for expansion in the party dress area. Admittedly Magellan's other new release, a very nicely modeled long riding coat, is something I would expect from him far more than this slinky one-shoulder dress worthy of a Bond girl. I would say that this dress is simpler than Magellan's other clothing releases, but don't mistake that as criticism. This kind of dress should be simple, especially in comparison to the heavy structure required of a gentleman's topcoat (which are some of Magellan's most breathtaking pieces, unfortunately only available for the boys).
I decided to go all the way with the Bond girl vibe, wearing it with a stockings and underwear set from GrabJo in Shade City, a pair of stilettos from Tirion Designs in Tharsis Estates, a choker from Sketchy Fever in Gaia, flowing blonde hair from Shade City, and an alluringly sweet-faced skin from Adam n Eve in Caledonia on top of my Moxxi shape from Port Town. If you'd prefer a less 'femme fatale' look, avoid the stockings and try Magellan's own high heeled shoes, which aren't quite as sharp and severe as the pair I'm wearing.
Do you have another way to wear this dress? Tell me how you would style it in the comments, and as always don't hesitate to email me with any fashion and style tips! | 2019-04-20T14:50:21Z | http://blog.bluemars.com/2010/09/blue-world-style-mako-magellans-little.html |

"This is both a close, and undisciplined study of trees. I am attuned to how they mark the landscape we domesticate. From a distance they reveal the code of how we dwell on the land. Trees reveal where there is water. They do not reveal the improbable and complex system that pulls water to the upper reaches of their canopies. I stray willfully from accurate portrayal. I frequently will draw trees as light is failing at dusk- seeking the ambiguity of the stories they foreshadow, the histories they shelter in the dark." | 2019-04-24T16:30:47Z | https://www.sparkgallery.com/keith-howard.html |

I want you to know you don’t have to feel guilty anymore.
You don’t have to have a quiet time.
You aren’t a bad person for not having one or even not wanting to have one. Let’s look at why quiet times are a waste of time. You take a few minutes first thing in the morning (has to be as early as possible) and pray (but mostly just fall asleep) and read a passage out of the Bible. You then will probably forget half way through brushing your teeth what you had read earlier; really regretting not taking that extra half hour in bed. Does God want you to spend time with Him first thing in the morning if it’s going to make you grouchy all day?
Leaving out the lack of sleep for now, I’m not a fan of quiet times for a few reasons and here are 3 of them.
1. Compartmentalizing God is kind of missing the point.
If God is omnipresent and an all knowing being, why on earth do we think the best time to speak or hear him is at an ungodly hour. It’s called ungodly because even God is asleep. He’s tired enough trying to keep up with our prayers to convert our friends or for the LGBT community to repent. Give Him/Her a break. What would help would be if we stopped thinking about God in ways that limit him. This isn’t just about quiet times. It’s about realizing we don’t need to go to church on a Sunday or a Wednesday night, “expectant” for God to show up as if there’s a very specific window in which God can fit us in. It’s about being ready during all those moments we aren’t ready to experience His spirit because we thought we missed our chance for the day when we slept in like a Heathen.
He’s already showing up. We just don’t know how to shut up for long enough to hear Him.
2. The Bible is not a self help book.
Most of the time we read the Bible as if it is a guide on how to not swear, lie, murder (ok not everyone struggles with that one) or look at naked pictures. But if we’re really going to treat the Bible like a how to for not sinning let’s look at some of the people in the Bible who we hold up as the epitome of Holiness. King David, a man who sent his best friend off to the frontline to die, just so he could get cozy with his bf’s wife. Or Judas one of Jesus closest friends, who sold him out for 30 gold coins which come on, even taking inflation into account can’t be worth much. Then of course Moses, who got so pissed he couldn’t remember who he was and even fell for the riddle about how many of each animal Moses put into the ark.
The Bible is really just like an episode of Coronation Street or Eastenders but probably with a lot sexier characters.
We need to read the Bible for what it is. A vast library of books written over thousands of years by different people in different styles, who all flawed just like us, but in no ways examples for how to live healthy lives. It seems to me the main reason we have to read the Bible then is to see ourselves in these stories, learning about hope, grace and love. To put ourselves into these stories of redemption with the sole purpose not to make sure we don’t screw up majorly today but can bring light to the world.
3. The more the merrier.
One of the reasons we like the Bible as Christians is because it hasn’t changed in thousands of years. The words are still the same and so we don’t feel like we need to face that most uncomfortable reality of change. We don’t like it. We don’t like when someone comes along and suggests a new reading or understanding of a passage or that we maybe stop singing “Blessed be Your Name” for just one week in church (seriously, we’re still singing that?!) But change is good, it’s healthy and it creates life.
It’s kind of ironic because the Bible is full of people who changed their views on God and who decided to try it a different way.
Once we get into a groove with quiet times, we like to stick with what we know. Maybe we don’t like to be challenged or even worse, believe that “this way” is the only way that God can speak to us. When God created the world he said it was good but he didn’t say it was finished….that came in the sequel.
The point being that creativity is in the essence of all humans and the times we seek to interact with God shouldn’t be exempt from that creative spark we are all born with.
Life comes from change, from creativity, from a new freshness. It’s not that the old ways are always inherently bad. They may just be past their sell by date. Then other times we realize that it’s actually us who have changed the way things are done. I mean, this idea of reading the Bible on our own is a pretty new and novel way to read. It’s not actually that Biblical. Reading and interpreting with other people on the other hand.. What would happen if we began to read the Bible with others? Praying the words over and over, letting the Spirit guide us into a meaning and to find a truth much deeper and richer than just the literal?
Of course there is a place and an important one at that, for us to carve out time to allow that part of us that wants to be involved in something bigger than ourselves, speak to us. Just sometimes the manner we go about it gets stale, and needs something new and fresh injected into it.
Coming up in my next post, a couple of things I have been trying that have changed how I view connecting with God. | 2019-04-25T20:02:13Z | https://paulrobinsonwrites.com/2015/08/04/why-i-gave-up-on-quiet-times/ |

So, do you know what simmering does? It cooks slowly and gently so as not to damage.
Yesterday, a lot of ingredients were tossed into my brain. I was thinking about pain and illness. I was wondering about healing. I encountered the idea of spiritual warfare. I read about pride, identity, and temptation. All of these ingredients were sitting there in my brain, and I didn’t know what to do with them.
Often, the recipe is clear — knead, bake, slice, serve. But yesterday, I had no idea what I was ‘making’. Probably because I wasn’t intended to ‘make’ anything at all. I felt the nudge to put the pot on simmer and walk away.
Sometimes I do this in our house. I have a lovely crock pot that I fill with a pale chunk of pork or chicken, a couple tablespoons of slimy olive oil, some sea salt and other dry pungent spices. I turn the dial to ‘simmer’, and I walk away. It’s lazy cooking, yes, but’s it’s pretty effective. Those ingredients, which look less than appetizing at the start, start to simmer, and as they do, they give off a pleasing aroma that fills my house and greets my husband when he walks into the house after a long day.
So, yesterday, as I was taking in some thoughts that were less than pleasing — pain, illness, temptation, spiritual warfare, pride, sin — instead of tossing them all into the trash, I decided to allow them to simmer for a while. I mean, it couldn’t hurt.
While they were simmering, I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for a half an hour or so. Then, I submersed myself in the warm bubbling waters of the jacuzzi. I showered, dressed, then drove to meet with two students in a neighboring town.
I drove home, ate some dinner, watched some television, crocheted, read, and went to bed. And the ideas were still simmering. I didn’t open the pot to stir. I didn’t turn the heat up or down. I just let them cook slowly and gently.
This morning, the battalion met to continue in our study of Hosea. I think I was hoping that I would be able to open the crock pot and see that all the ingredients were ‘done’ simmering. That didn’t happen.
Instead, as they continued to simmer, I observed this sisterhood that I have been plunked down into. I watched as they cared for one another — observing a swollen toe, praying for an ailing husband, applauding successful surgeries, and joining in to sing together.
Today’s topic was the idea that we often wander from God because we don’t truly know Him — really know His character and appreciate His love for us. We acknowledged together that we are “prone to leave the God we love,” and learned together that this is because we know of God, but we don’t fully know Him.
Yet, in spite of our wandering ways, God continuously pursues us. He puts obstacles in our self-destructive paths so that we will turn around and wander back toward Him. Sometimes when we are redirected in this way, we get close enough to see His face beaming with love for us — His beloved. And if we can get our eyes off the distracting shiny objects long enough, we can look into His eyes and see ourselves reflected there. And that, my friends, is when we get a glimpse at our identity. Not our estimation of ourselves in relationship to our peers, but our true identity as children loved by God.
I think I’ll let that simmer a little longer.
That is one of my top 3 favorite verses. | 2019-04-24T14:27:12Z | https://kristinsnextchapter.com/2016/01/20/just-add-this-to-the-pot/ |
Most people understand the dangers of an overdose – but you have to know what you are ingesting each time you take a medication. This is particularly true of medications containing acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol.
As corporations race to gobble each other up in an endless quest to become bigger and richer and more profitable and ultimately, more powerful, they often forget that with mergers and acquisitions comes more liability. As the parent company takes on more subsidiaries, it becomes difficult to control quality – and behavior. And, like the parent of a minor child who causes someone an injury or damages property, the parent company likewise ends up being held responsible.
This one has apparently been flying under the radar for awhile.
Recently, we posted a story of how some individuals have been using Tylenol as a method of suicide. The irony here is that according to a study that was done at the University of British Columbia this past spring, the active ingredient in Tylenol – acetaminophen may help people in dealing with “existential dread,” or the overwhelming fear of one's mortality and feelings of uncertainty.
The information about the connection between acetaminophen – the primary ingredient in Tylenol as well as a host of other over-the-counter remedies – and potentially fatal liver damage has not only spawned litigation (eighty cases and counting as of this writing). In accordance with the Law of Unintended Consequences, news about the effects of these inexpensive, easily obtained medications has apparently shown people – especially young teens suffering from depression – a quick but not so easy way out of this life.
The news only gets worse for Johnson & Johnson, manufacturer of the popular over-the-counter medication Tylenol. Not only can acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) cause serious liver damage, it has been implicated in serious, and even fatal dermal reactions. According to a warning issued by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration at the beginning of August, acetaminophen may result in one of two forms of toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN), a condition in which the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) separates from the lower layer (dermis) due to cell death.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a public safety communication on acetaminophen, the active ingredient found in Tylenol and other over-the-counter pain reliever, linking the commonly-used painkiller ingredient to three rare, but serious skin reactions.
On Tuesday, July 16th, pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson triumphantly reported that its earnings for the second quarter of 2013 were more than twice that of the same period last year. According to a New York Times article, these increased earnings were largely due to “strong sales of prescription drugs” and revenue from selling off one of its overseas assets in Ireland, as well as its diversified product line. | 2019-04-24T23:56:59Z | https://www.levinlaw.com/news/tylenol |

The time has come to prepare for your wedding. Of course, you want such an important day to be just right. Dreaming up a perfect wedding is easy; however, carrying it out and paying for the wedding can be difficult. How can you ever match the wedding costs to your budget? Luckily, this article can help you plan a great day without breaking the bank.
The right wedding dress can be quite expensive. You might want to consider a dress which is not categorized specifically for the bride. A Bridesmaid dress can be a good fit, and it doesn’t cost half as much as a wedding dress does. Even after some alterations to spruce it up, it can still prove a more affordable alternative to a dress that says wedding on the label.
Add the finishing touches of decoration on all your wedding decor. For instance, the ribbon on your bouquet can go with ribbon for your hair, dress, or centerpiece. These little details make all the difference in the effort you make in creating the perfect day.
Should you want to cater the food yourself, look to wholesale stores like Sam’s. When you shop this way, you can buy your food cheaper than at regular retailers. You may even ask for help with food costs from family or friends.
When selecting a makeup artist for your wedding, be sure to see the makeup that they have done in the past. Is this style of makeup suitable for you? It is critically important that you know they can meet your needs. You don’t want to find yourself with makeup that doesn’t appeal to you right before you are about to start your wedding.
Transportation is a key element to consider when planning your wedding. Try having taxis and limos available for people who don’t have transportation after the wedding. This allows people to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about drinking and driving after the reception.
A great gift for your guests at a destination wedding is a basket that you have delivered to their room full of vacation goodies. Useful items you will want to include would be tourist maps, sunglasses, hats, disposable cameras and brochures of fun places they could visit while in the area. You could also include flyers and coupons for local restaurants.
An overabundance of flowers on reception tables causes trouble. Frequently, these flowers are a nuisance to your guests, since they get in the way. Some people attending your wedding may have pollen allergies, as well. Unscented candles can get placed around the tables for an atmosphere of romance.
When choosing a venue for your wedding reception, check to see if the lighting is able to be dimmed. This may seem minor, but lighting is important to setting the mood and dimmed lights are preferable for your first dance. Before committing to a venue, you will want to ask about this option.
Your plans for a wedding outside should always include a solid backup plan, in case it rains, or other unforeseen problems occur. A couple ways to do this include having tents on standby and renting an area with both an indoor and outdoor space. Another thing you can do is install planks, so guests don’t get their shoes muddy.
Big centerpieces are overpriced and overrated, often taking more from table conversation than they add to it. Choose a simple, small and elegant centerpiece with pizazz. This will enable your guests to talk amongst each other without any interference, which will provide a better experience for them.
Get more out of your wedding planner with research done ahead of time. Take all of your ideas and incorporate them into one place, such as a design book. You might want to include pictures from magazines, photos, and lyrics from your favorite songs to help show your vision to a planner.
Any children in your ceremony need to be dressed comfortably. Stick to soft fabrics that fit just loosely enough to not cause discomfort. You also need to give children a chance to get used to new shoes. Whether shoes are old or new, your children need to be comfortable in them during the wedding. If you pay attention to this, then the children will be able to put their attention on the part they’re playing in the wedding rather than worrying about their uncomfortable outfit.
Add depth to your floral decor and centerpieces by incorporating floral elements of different heights. Use tall vases for flowers with longer stems and more compact heads. Put hydrangeas or other flowers with volume around these vases. Have the shorter flowers be lighter in hue than the taller blooms.
Check out the previous work of your videographer. Inspect the sound quality while you’re at it. You should get a DVD of your wedding or you could get a digital video. Base your decision on these things and your own personal feelings about the videographers you talk to.
In order to keep the bride happy and stress free on her wedding day, you should make certain that the quality of the wedding meets her standards. If she’s stressed about planning, and it’s a less than perfect wedding, it can destroy her. Make sure that everything is run by her or you will have a bridezilla!
When planning the floral decorations of your wedding, consider where the venue is. If your wedding will be outdoors and in a windy location you want to make sure to choose hardy flowers. For venues like the park or the beach, you will need innovative ways to secure the decorations.
Before committing to a DJ or band for your wedding, do your due diligence first. Get references and speak to those people to find out about their experiences. After you know who you are going with, sign a contract so you are guaranteed to have them on your big day. That way, you will not have any bumps in the road when it comes to the all-important music.
Think about minimizing the meal portion of your wedding reception. In order to accommodate more guests, you will need to reduce costs somewhere. Choosing a small meal to feed your guests can end up saving you a lot of money. If this is unacceptable, you may need to trim your guest list.
Plan ahead. A year is not really a long period of time to prepare when there are so many details to take care of. Start your wedding plans as soon as you can if you want the most choices to be available.
Be wary about rainy conditions. When planning a wedding outdoors, ensure you have an alternative venue. Even if you’re convinced the weather won’t be foul, you must be prepared.
Ask your vendors for recommendations about the other services that you need. For example, your photographer may know the perfect band for your wedding. Talk to the band and see the recommendations they have. You’ll find people you love, and the vendors will be happy, too.
Make sure you stay abreast of the weather conditions! If the conditions of the weather are unfavorable then your guests might not want to celebrate during this time, like if the weather is raining or extremely hot, it could deter guests from coming to your wedding. Also, if it’s too cold, guests may be uncomfortable and want to leave. Do what you can to make sure your guests are comfortable; provide fans in the summer or small heaters in the winter.
The bride’s mother, as well as any bridesmaids, should be ready to go far before it is time to get into your wedding gown. This will ensure that you are the only thing they need to worry about at the last minute. If your bridesmaids are still focused on getting ready themselves, they certainly will not be focused on the bride.
Before you start purchasing anything for your event, sign up for a credit card that offers incentives and rewards. When planning your wedding, you will likely accumulate numerous expenses. You may not be able to avoid the expenses, but you might as well try to make them work to your advantage! Make sure you charge all your expenses on the same card and find out in advance what kind of rewards you will be getting.
Open an account to hold the funds that you will use for your wedding. Establishing a budget on paper and delegating how much to spend in each area will help you stick to the budget. Open a savings account and start putting money aside if you can wait to get married.
So, you are ready to plan a wedding, but you don’t know where to start and stay within your budget. You want perfection, without the threat of bankruptcy instead of a honeymoon. The preceding paragraphs gave you some tips you can use to help plan a successful wedding. Apply them liberally, and have the best possible day.
It is acceptable to delegate different aspects of your wedding to other qualified people. Weddings can require a large investment emotionally, and you’ll probably want to play a large role through the planning process. But, it is important that you trust the advice of those who may have more experience than you in certain areas of the planning. | 2019-04-26T00:42:00Z | http://1337-face.dk/tag/perfect-wedding/ |

Marta waited. She adjusted her hat, petted the hairnet covering her braided hair, while white nursing shoes and long white lab coat completed her ensemble. It made her feel sterile, one person in a large room of whirling machines.
The textile factory, built two hundred years ago, had employed generations of her family. Marta treasured the photos of her ancestors working here. New computerized looms automated many functions, but they still required human hands. Her hands were integral to the entire operation.
An alarm sounded, and Marta remedied the issue aware that her knowledge and skill preserved a great legacy.
One day, there will be nothing but machines. And one worker. The worker won’t do anything, but her wages will be necessary to purchase all the stuff the machines make.
When that happens, I wonder– will we still call them “workers”? Thanks for reading and commenting Neil.
Yes, automation which is often the answer to consumer’s desire for more, cheaper, faster.
I am sure it is not enough. Thanks for stopping by Alice.
It seems a futile legacy to preserve, but defiant for what it’s worth.
Perhaps they will create a museum and the next generation will curate it. Thanks for reading Iain.
The factory belongs to her now? Strong sense of pride in her legacy. Good for her.
That must be an intrinsically rewarding career, putting things right where automation can’t.
I have observed that automation can only go so far. Some level of human intervention is required and the skills required tend to be very specialized. Thanks for reading Sandra.
Even machines still need the human touch.
Nice that Martha has triumphed over her legacy, and nicer to know she values their hard work and her own humble beginnings.. Nicely told, Jo.
Thank you Violet. Glad you liked the story.
Thanks Gina. I think the human touch is becoming more and more sought after. It is what we miss on a basis level in all aspects of our lives.
i agree, in a dystopian world, writers and film makers put emphasis on this, afraid to lose this last but of humanity maybe.
It is an underlying theme. If all trace of humanity is erased are we still human? Great question, Gina.
Well done–a positive twist on the modernization of an ages-old industry.
Thank you. Some things are worth preserving 😊.
In time even human hands will be replaced by robotic ones. I’m glad I won’t be around to witness it!
You’ve constructed your story nicely, Jo. I like the way you emphasise the physical, with the detailed description of her clothing, and the repetition of ‘hands’. This gives context and contrast to the intangible concept of ‘heritage’.
Thank you for your kind words, Penny. I enjoy the process of finding a story in the prompt.
What is a nurse doing in an automated factory?
Abhijit, many automated factories require anyone on the floor to wear white. Thanks for reading.
Thank you. Did not know that.
Small consolation indeed, Dale. Thanks for reading and commenting. | 2019-04-22T20:45:28Z | https://johawkthewriter.com/2019/03/27/preserving-a-legacy-friday-fictioneers/ |

Happy Friday my friends! It’s Christmas weekend and I decided that I’m going to relax this weekend and not do much else on the blog until after Christmas, so today I’m doing a repeat from 2013. This is one of my favorite Atlanta Holiday showhouse tours from 2013 that is still fresh and pretty today, so enjoy it all over again!
Browsing showhouses is something that I’ve been doing for years and I still love it. It’s always fun to go in these humongous homes that are so far out of my price range, yet still so exciting to see how they are decorated and the beautiful millwork that is in these homes is always a treat. There’s a showhouse in Atlanta, now called Home for the Holidays, that is decorated for Christmas every year and usually I miss it, but this year made a point to go and check it out. I’m SO glad I did and you’ll be glad too, because they let us take pics inside and I got a TON of pics to share.
You are going to be as inspired as I was! This is a gorgeous and yes, large, Southern style estate home, built by Dovetail Homes and is in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, one of the most desirable real estate neighborhoods in the city. It’s Colonial American in style and designed by Harrison Design Associates. You can find out more about the house and the tour hours at the link above and if you live in the area, please go! It’s a treat you will enjoy during this beautiful season.
I’m not going to attempt to narrate all of the pics and I took so many, this tour will have to be broken down into at least 2 to 3 posts, so enjoy them all! I knew y’all would love seeing this too. I love the use of mostly natural materials all through the house and it is stunning, particularly the dining room, kitchen and breakfast areas, living room and the master bedroom, all my personal faves. Enjoy!
Keep in mind that this is a brand new home, somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million, I heard. I don’t have the square footage on this ginormous home, but believe me it is spacious. It was built to look like a home that was added on to over the years and it is a sprawling home for sure. I’ll be showing the outside of the home from the backside of the house too in another post , so stay tuned for that.
Keep in mind too that I was snapping pics in a hurry, so not all of them are really clear, but you get a good idea of how magnificent this home is. I tried to capture all of it the best I could on the fly!
OK, I had to chime in here! Isn’t this the most beautiful staircase garland you’ve ever seen? My jaw dropped on this one!
Wasn’t that just stunning and so fun to see? I knew y’all would love it too and so happy that they allowed pics this year. I met Kimberly Sundt, Event Manager for the showhouse the day I went and she was so warm and friendly to me.
Hope you enjoyed seeing this one again, one of my alltime favorite ones!
First time I’ve seen a bathtub decorated for the holidays!
Thank you so much for showing us all of these great photos! This has to be one of my favorite show homes. It is so classy and elegant. I know this was a ton of work for you, but PLEASE show us the rest of the house!!!
The house itself is beautiful but not to my taste. Some of the decorations were just breathtaking and then some were very plain. It was joyful and disappointing at the same time. It didn’t look like a home that would cost 3 million and neither did the decorations or furniture. Thank you so much for showing it to us!
Do you know who makes the mirros over the vanities in master bathroom? And also in the hallway over the 2 chests? Love!
HI, so sorry, I don’t have details on specific items, although there were source lists in each room. You could contact the designer in the master bedroom suite, Kelly Wolf Anthony, 404-261-7778; anthonywolfcollection.com.
The stair hall had the 2 chests with mirrors and that was designed by Courtney Giles INterior Design.
Does the source list include the first floor wall color? It is just beautiful!
HI, Phyllis, sorry I don’t have the additional information on the home.
The bathtub full of gifts and the way the stockings were hung are so creative. This was so much fun to see here, I can only imagine how breathtaking it was in person.
Lovely house! They had me at the giant canvas of the boxer 😉 love it!
I don’t care for all of the modern furnishings. I love the kitchen and he dinning room, though.
Most. Beautiful. House. Ever. Thank you for the tour!
Is there any way to find out the brand of crystal glasses that were on the dining room table? The ones with the beading around them?
So sorry, Jennifer, but I’m don’t have any details on the accessories in the home.
Thanks for sharing, it is a gorgeous place. When I think of Christmas homes you’ve shared in the past, the one that sticks out in my mind is your friend Marc’s home. I saved several pictures of his decorating for inspiration! I love his decorating. And Ruby’s home was pretty, too. But honestly, your home is as lovely as those. Merry Christmas, Rhoda!
Thank you, Nanci, it’s been fun to share all those spaces of my friends over the years. Merry Christmas to you! | 2019-04-19T14:41:00Z | https://southernhospitalityblog.com/home-for-the-holidays-atlanta-holiday-home-2013/ |
Who were Elihana bat Gael and Sa‘aryahu ben Shabenyahu? Two seals bearing these Hebrew names were uncovered in a large building dating to the First Temple period in excavations the Israel Antiquities Authority is carrying out in the Giv’ati parking lot at the City of David, in the Jerusalem Walls National Park. “Finding seals that bear names from the time of the First Temple is hardly a commonplace occurrence, and finding a seal that belonged to a woman is an even rarer phenomenon,” the researchers say.
After nine years of excavating by the IAI, in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority and the City of David Foundation, archaeologists at the site succeeded in reaching the strata of ancient Jerusalem dating to the First Temple period where a surprise awaited them: the two seals inside a structure built of magnificent ashlars (hewn stones). The researchers believe that the well-constructed building was used as an administrative center.
On the woman’s seal, which is made of semi-precious stone, appears the mirror-writing of “to Elihana bat Gael,” inscribed in ancient Hebrew letters. The female owner of the ring is mentioned here together with the name of her father.
The Book of Proverbs (31:13-23) states that an ideal wife is responsible for providing for the needs of her household when her husband is engaged in public and legal affairs at the city gate – “She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands… Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.” An archive of documents preserved in the Judean desert from the time of the Second Temple indicates, among other things, the business of Babatha bat Shimon, a female land owner who had legal status. But, generally speaking, evidence of legal and financial independence in the bible and archaeology are rare.
The second seal that was exposed in the excavation was also in mirror-writing and bears the inscription “to Sa‘aryahu ben Shabenyahu.” The name Sa‘aryahu appears on a sherd from Arad, and means “God [answered] from the storm.” (see Job 38:1). | 2019-04-22T02:31:05Z | http://www.archeolog-home.com/pages/content/jerusalem-israel-meet-elihana-bat-gael-first-temple-era-woman-of-valor.html |

Team GB boss Stuart Pearce insists he will not take any risks on Daniel Sturridge, telling the Chelsea forward he will only be picked for London 2012 if he is 100% fit.
Sturridge fell ill last week with viral meningitis - a mild strain of the disease - but has said he is confident of recovering in time for the Games, where he is a member of Pearce's 18-man squad.
Pearce will give Sturridge until July 25 to prove his fitness before making a final decision on whether he will be given a chance to shine.
"Doctors had a look at him last week, visited him and basically he will stay here [in England]," said Pearce. "He won't come to Spain when we do our prep there, and all being well we'll pick him up when we fly back into the Olympic Village on Monday week. We will assess him at that time.
"The good thing is we probably have a couple of weeks to make a decision on his fitness. If he is fully fit, he will stay with us. If we think there are any doubts in any shape or form, we'll call someone else to replace him. July 25 is that latest we can make that decision.
"We still have a few weeks in respect to that, but the important thing is probably once we get him on the training pitch to look at him and see how he is and how much this illness has affected him." | 2019-04-24T01:57:52Z | http://en.espn.co.uk/olympic-sports/sport/story/159512.html |

On January 7, during the Nativity Divine Liturgy at Saint Sophia’s Cathedral in Kyiv, “Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and All Ukraine” commemorated the Russian Orthodox Church Primate for the first time since the Orthodox Church in Ukraine (OCU-KP) creation.
At the Grand Entrance, after mentioning the Patriarch of Constantinople, he commemorated the Primates of all the Local Orthodox Churches, including the name of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia (at 1:04 in the video here below).
Let us recall that between the moment of the creation of the OCU on December 15 and Epifaniy’s trip to Istanbul on January 6, the name of the Moscow Patriarch had not been commemorated during the liturgical services of the newly-formed church structure. | 2019-04-25T10:23:51Z | https://orthodoxie.com/en/patriarch-kirill-of-moscow-commemorated-during-the-nativity-divine-liturgy-in-kyiv/ |
Being taken to court is daunting, especially for business owners who have not been through this experience before. We are able to quickly assess the worst-case and best-case scenarios and to develop a strategy for each. In many instances we can put in place a remedy to deal with the problem. Once this has been outlined and accepted, we are often able to agree an adjournment with the plaintiff or their lawyers and to negotiate a settlement than benefits both sides. | 2019-04-18T15:04:26Z | http://www.corporateguardian.com.au/types-of-businesses/business-failure-cases/being-taken-to-court/ |
Motivated Seller just dropped the price! This is a good project that could lead to a good investment. Each of the two apartments have kitchen and living spaces on the ground floor and both apartments each have 3 bedrooms on the second floor. In one of the apartments the kitchen needs to be redone, and the good news is that everything is included for that to be done: kitchen cabinets, insulation, flooring, ceilings and appliances. The bathrooms in both need new fixtures and brand new ones are included in the sale. Ceiling tiles, plywood and other miscellaneous supplies also included. Electrical has been upgraded, has circuit breakers and hardwired smoke detectors. One apartment needs most of the work. The second apartment has hardwood floors, some have been painted, others could be refinished. Each apartment has its own oil fired FHA furnace and electric hot water heater. One of the furnaces is brand new and both hot water heaters are new. So yes, it's not a perfect house but supplies are there, you need to bring your imagination and with some work this property could be a very good investment. | 2019-04-21T03:07:56Z | https://parkwayvt.com/listing/4702824/107-power-house-road-canaan-vt-05903/ |
May. 8, 2012 9:00 a.m.
Banjo virtuoso Jayme Stone, this year’s Juno award winner for instrumental album of the year, is appearing at the Errington Hall May 12.
Saying that the Ontario musician plays banjo is like saying Wayne Gretzky can skate. Stone is a master of the instrument, almost to the point of disbelief … a Canadian Béla Fleck if you will.
Stone’s curiosity and unlikely set of reference points started early with the quirky physics of the banjo. This led him to a mysterious librarian who stocked the public library with a vast trove of banjo recordings, landing Stone long-lasting lessons with a series of maestros, from Béla Fleck to Bill Frisell.
Influenced by Japanese poetry and Brazilian literature and inspired by what he calls a “tiny symphony that takes place inside an imaginary light bulb,” Stone’s playing will astound you.
His album The Utmost won the 2008 Juno Award for Instrumental Album of the Year and his newest release, entitled Room of Wonders just earned him his second Juno for instrumental album of the year.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. concert are $20 at the Errington Store, Cranky Dog Music in Parksville, and Heaven on Earth in Qualicum Beach.
Youth under 12 are $5 at the door, free for under five. | 2019-04-21T23:29:36Z | https://www.pqbnews.com/entertainment/banjo-player-stone-in-errington/ |

BUENOS AIRES nike air force 1 special field womens , Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Wrestling has been included in the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games in a secret ballot by the International Olympic Committee on Sunday.
Wrestling won back its spot in the Olympic program after beating bids from squash and baseballsoftball, garnering 49 votes out of 95.
Wrestling, which featured in the ancient Olympics and in every modern Games apart from 1900, had been surprisingly taken off the Games in February.
Baseballsoftball, not on the program since 2008, got 24 votes nike air force 1 marble pack womens , while squash, which has never featured in the Olympics, had 22.
Earlier in the day, the IOC approved the 25 core sports at Summer Games with a 77-16 majority.
"Thank you for this opportunity of saving our sport," wrestling federation FILA president Nenad Lalovic told the IOC.
"This is the most important day in our 3,000-year history. Remaining in the Olympics is crucial for wrestling's survival."
FILA has made extraordinary progress since being provisionally dropped by the IOC nike air force 1 swoosh pack womens , changing its leadership, making the management more democratic and transparent and revising competition rules.
"We made mistakes and admitted to them," Lalovic said while answering the questions from IOC members after the 20-minute presentation.
Assuming, for a moment, you might be of the opinion that choosing a laptop for a college student is not just different from the decision you might conceivably make. It’s absolutely different!
What’s the reason? You already are aware of the answer. At least in a general sense College Students, while they will logically be using their laptop computers for their studies primarily (this is the huge parental wish is it not?) will obviously be utilizing their PC portables for more. For example nike air force 1 off white womens , movies, music, videos, games, and other online internet attractions.
You’ll appreciate, I hope, the fact that I didn’t make reference to the “B” word (BUDGET!) before. The reason being it’s understood it decides the PC performance you will be able to arrive at. In the same way as acquiring anything else, the “B” word is your connection to reality. It will force you to do the correct thing and decide the college portable the student in question needs, as opposed to the PC the student wants!
But hold your horses for a minute – before you whip out your wallet, you it would be prudent to be discovering if the College in question has laid on any digital freebies. No sense in buying something that’s going to be offered for free – is there? It’s part of the procedure at the majority of universities to provide a selection of commonly used software programs for free. Anti-virus utilities for example.
Therefore it makes good economic sense to suss out in advance exactly what’s included nike sf af1 womens , and and of equal gravity, what technical requirements the university could possibly have The classic saying:”forewarned is forearmed”, was never more particularly true than in this instance.
As far as the nuts ‘n bolts of what you should be hunting for in trying to locate a PC portable for a College Student, after hard drive space, you’ll need to get your head around one scenario, that, to those of us who are not pursuing higher education – would be, in all reality..yes cheap nike air force1 womens , nothing to be concerned about. And concern is the size of the PC portable’s screen plus overall length, height, and width.
You’ll take notice of the fact I did’nt say “overall weight.” For the reason we can take for granted virtually(pun intended) the entire selection of currently available portable computers are within the identical acceptable weight paramenters.
As those actresses in the naughty movies are constantly reminding us: “size does matter!” And in this situation size relates not to what the student dreams of as the perfect laptop PC portable but to the length, height and width of the desk that laptop will be making it’s home on. A fact of student computer life that’s not trendy or flashy, but, nonetheless – absolutely essential.
Laverne Gilbert is a writer with a enthusiastic interest in all topics pertaining to computerconcerns. He is particularly attracted to evaluating new software programs that claim to improve computer performance. | 2019-04-25T09:51:57Z | http://dir.luxuryrentaldirectory.com/forums/topic/3835/portable-but-to-the-lengt |

This term is used in this work to refer to beings existing at a level superior to the human level and manipulating humanity and other similar lifeforms for their own ends.
These are the architects and ultimate controllers of the ‘matrix,’ the ‘Moon‘ of Gurdjieff, the Archons of darkness of the Gnostics. Most of the UFO phenomenon originates with these forces.
We are not talking about strictly ethereal entities. They can appear as solid physical bodies, as exemplified by many UFO reports. These are however not native to physicality as experienced by humans. They occupy a realm with variable physicality and can project themselves into physicality as experienced by humans through use of technology or psychic power.
The idea of these beings as a human-like lifeform from some other planet is misleading. The various strange anomalies such as variations in the rate of passage of time, spaces being larger on the inside than outside and such effects suggest that these beings experience different laws of physics from what we are used to. Accounts retrieved from people having interacted with such entities suggest that people can be transported into this different level of reality and temporarily exist there in physical form. Thus that level does not appear as a fluid idea world and has a certain solidity. Also based on these observations there are living entities as well as inanimate pieces of technology in evidence.
We cannot construct an exact representation of this level based on human sensory experience. Accounts of high strangeness in conjunction of the UFO phenomenon and psychic experiences of humans however suggest that such a mode of being and perceiving is real. Otherwise we are limited to descriptions contained in various channeled material.
Different biological types of beings have been reported in this context. Most reports concern the so-called Gray alien, a somewhat humanoid 4 foot tall creature with large black eyes and a bulb shaped head. Another form is an 8 foot tall upright alligator, sometimes called a lizzie. Yet another is a Nordic looking human form. Still other forms such as insects are sometimes reported. To what degree these are physical forms and to what degree these are interpretations of the observers from something else is unclear. There appears to be consistency between reports describing these as solid beings. On the other hand, similar beings are seen walking through walls and materializing from thin air also. This suggests an inherent mastery of physicality, whether through technology or as an intrinsic feature of these beings.

Can kidney failure patients do exercise? Many patients believe that they can not. However, as a matter of fact, they can do exercise. It will do a lot of good to patients both physically and mentally.
When kidney disease develops into kidney failure, not only the kidney function greatly declines , the overall physical function drops too. Many kidney failure patients are too weak. They themselves will feel too tired to do exercise. So they are reluctant to do exercise. What’s more, they think exercise will lower the energy and make them feel more tired. The truth is, proper exercise will make them more energetic.
The followings are the benefits that exercise brings to you.
A. Exercise will bulid up your body and enhance your immunity. At the same time, it can help control blood pressure and and lower the risk of getting cardiovascular disease.
B. In kidney failure, the kidneys are not able to filter the toxins in blood. The accumulated toxins in blood will cause more damage, not only to the kidneys, but also other organs in your body. By doing exercise, some of the toxins will be discharged through sweating.
C. Exercise can also do good to patients’ mood. You can make friends with other people or patients. Through exercise process, you can encourge each other and get over the depressed emotions as early as possible!
Though exercise is beneficial, you are not suggested to do intense exercise. You should get start slowly. At the beginning, you can do 15-20 minutes exercise a day and then you can build up over times according to your illness condition. Do remember talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program. You will enjoy the benefits only if you do it at your own pace. Are there any other questions? If you have, you can send an email to renal-disease@hotmail.com or leave a message below. I will give you a reply as soon as possible! | 2019-04-26T06:42:03Z | http://www.renaldiseases.org/kidney-failure-basics/760.html |

I understand why that phrase would lead folks to this site, for on several issues of importance to me, I have found myself at odds with Nashville‘s mayor. Frankly, as one who voted for Karl Dean to be our mayor, I have been disappointed at times by a lack of engagement with the social safety net, and what I see as a resistance to engaging citizens directly in the business of governance. I likewise feel that Mayor Dean sold himself as a “progressive” (I hate that word, but I don’t have a better one right now) alternative to the other candidates, someone who would continue our previous mayor’s emphasis on neighborhoods and not forget the needs of the “least of these” in our community. My interpretation of his candidacy seems flawed in hind sight, and I have found myself again and again critical of the priorities that this administration seems to think are important.
But that bent toward critique doesn’t mean that I “don’t like” our mayor, nor that I am unwilling to support anything he suggests. We have honest differences in our visions for our city, differences that are important, but there are times when our visions align more closely, and we find ourselves in agreement.
One of those places is in a belief that the public transit system of Nashville has to be improved, either through the additional of light rail, or through a revamping and renewal of the bus system so that the entire system is more functional.
One of the greats sins of corporate American was the move by General Motors to buy out existing municipal trolley systems to remove competition against the automobile. For many years, Nashville had a vibrant and functional trolley system that efficiently moved folks throughout the city, but as happened in so many cities, these trolleys were shut down in favor of roads. The remaining bus system was kept in place primarily to provide transportation for underclass maids and cooks in North Nashville out to the western suburbs of Belle Meade. For many years Nashville’s bus system was a joke, and it’s only in recent years, with the subsidization of state employees to ride downtown, and the use of the system by magnet school kids, that the system has become more functional and ridership has increased. Even with the improvements, the fact is that the system continues to be difficult to access and understand, and doesn’t functionally work for most people who don’t have the time to take a bus all the way downtown before they can get anywhere else in the city.
Mayor Dean’s vision for improving public transit is spot on, and one that I can agree with. It understands that great cities not only have large public edifices, but also have an effective means of transporting citizens and visitors alike to those public monoliths, as well as to the services they need. This transportation has to be convenient, fast, and efficient in order to lure folks out of their cars. It’s something Nashville needs, and something that I will certainly support.
Yes, it ain’t going to be cheap, and given all of our other priorities, this is something that will likely be pushed to the wayside. As you might guess, my preference would have been to take the billion dollars on the MCC project and devote it to this, but that is not a possibility. Helping car addicted Nashvillians to see the importance of this project will be tough and perhaps impossible. But we need to do it anyway, for improving our transportation infrastructure is greatly needed.
See, I can agree with Karl.
Let’s see if he’s serious about this and can get something moving. | 2019-04-23T10:31:49Z | https://justnashville.org/2010/02/16/agreeing-with-karl/ |
Some great illustrations in this blog. Treating sinus infections has always been a difficult problem.
Sinusitis afflicts millions of Americans each year. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sinusitis “simply means your sinuses are inflamed, red and swollen, because of an infection or another problem.” Sinusitis can be very irritating to deal with and women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with the infection. Sinusitis affects people from the very young to the very old.
Acute sinusitis can last up to 4 weeks and chronic sinusitis can last more than 12 weeks and persist for months or years after the initial symptoms. The illness can be caused by several factors including viruses, bacteria, allergies, airborne chemicals and a weak immune system.
Does it Help to Irrigate My Sinuses?
Chronic RhinoSinusitis (CRS) is a source of increased medical costs and decreased quality of life for many adult & pediatric patients each year. Evidence-based, clinical practice guidelines include recommendations for the use of nasal saline irrigation (NSI) as a significant treatment component or effective adjunct therapy for CRS; however, the research reviewed did not clearly support or refute it. Currently, saline irrigations are being used as a treatment for CRS and you can find many formulations and products OTC. Until further research is conducted to refute this practice, this treatment modality provides a safe and economically astute alternative to the costly conventional treatments available for CRS.
Background. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disorder that affects 14% of the adult population of the United States and has been estimated to account for more than $3 billion in healthcare expenditures. Yes, that’s 3 BILLION! Furthermore, CRS, typically caused by a virus, is frequently treated with antibiotics, contributing to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. For this reason, both patients and healthcare providers have increasingly turned to alternative therapies including nasal saline irrigation. For this study, the researchers defined CRS as symptoms persisting for 12 weeks or longer. The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence for efficacy of this therapy.
Methodology. Numerous databases, including Cochrane, MEDLINE, and CINAHL, were searched for studies that answered the research question: In adult primary care patients, does the use of saline irrigations (compared with no treatment) improve the symptoms of CRS? Overall a good search of the literature on this topic. Unfortunately, no big studies are available to compare.
Results. The investigators concluded that the evidence for efficacy of saline irrigations was contradictory. No conclusion could be drawn as to type of solution (isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic) that produced consistently positive results or was best tolerated, which may indicate that patient preference is the best indication of appropriate solution. No serious adverse effects were found and the treatment appeared to pose no significant health risks, but data were insufficient to support a conclusion that irrigation was of some benefit with minimal side effects.
Not everyone will agree on the use of nasal irrigation. Clearly, an alternative to the widespread use of antibiotics to treat this predominantly viral condition must be found. The investigators do an admirable job of synthesizing the literature and examining the limited data available in support of this cheap and safe therapy. Saline irrigation fulfills the mandate to “first, do no harm,” so it should be included in the armamentarium of therapies for this common condition. | 2019-04-20T20:14:57Z | https://tulsaallergynews.com/tag/sinusitis/ |

Today is the last day of August, how did this happen so fast? Everyone is talking about fall, back-to-school and the like. I’m not ready to give up on summer, I never am. I really like sleeping with the windows open, eating dinner outside on the patio and wearing flip flops. I am a Southern Californian trapped in Oregon. This weekend I was able to enjoy the early morning sun as it lit up the leaves in my garden. I sat there and tried to picture the garden in the coming fall and winter months, the leaves falling, the plants going dormant, I couldn’t. I couldn’t even summon mental images of last winter and the snow and ice. This is exactly the way I want to picture it. I’m declaring September the new August. Really it’s not a stretch, the last couple of years September has brought beautiful weather. Summer isn’t winding down after all! We’ve got weeks left, at least a whole month! Maybe more, October can be downright beautiful too….
Late last summer I bought a second Datura to plant in a bare spot created by my Acanthus fading from the August sun and heat. I knew the Datura would die in the approaching winter months but didn’t care. It was on sale ridiculously cheap and was just the sort of perky plant with a few blooms that would chase away the August blues.
Eventually the flowers faded and the seed pods appeared. Since I don’t have a photo of those seed pods I stopped by the amazing Datura I found a few weeks ago, luckily it had a few pods. Aren’t they fabulous!?
Since we were without a dog at the time (the seeds are poisonous) I let the pods brake open and drop their contents on the ground, hoping that spring would bring multiple Datura seedlings. Naturally nothing happened. Even in a normal winter I believe our climate is too cold for this plant, or its seeds, to winter over. With last winters extremes those little seeds didn’t stand a chance.
It’s too late in the season for them to amount to anything this year, but I wonder if I can gently tease them from the ground and over-winter them inside? Then come spring they will be big and strong and ready to be planted in the ground. What do you think?
What grows in an atomic wasteland? Thistle!
I grew up on 3.5-acres in the rural hills north of what is now the city of Spokane Valley. I remember the day the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board came to visit.
For one reason or another our 3.5-acres was a hotbed of noxious weeds. The neighboring properties were probably similar but my mother takes these things to heart. If the government shows up and tells you to spend your weekends spraying chemicals to get rid of noxious weeds, then that’s what you do.
When you’re a kid 3.5-acres seems huge, I could play places where I couldn’t see signs of civilization. Of course I never did because there were snakes. Garter snakes, bull snakes and the big bad daddies; rattle snakes. It would take mom hours to spot spray the 3-acres. I can picture the canister she would use to mix up the spray, I can picture her lugging it around, what I can’t picture is her wearing protective gloves and a face mask. Did anyone back then? Did the chemicals come with a warning? Did some of the snakes die along with the noxious weeds? Dunno.
This little trip down memory lane was prompted by spotting these gorgeous, healthy thistles growing in an otherwise dry, desolate field. They look like they could thrive in the worst possible conditions, even an atomic wasteland, nothing would dare to stop them. Thistle was on my moms list of plants to eradicate, but not this type, something called Yellow Starthistle. It is evidently still a big problem; a quick Google search yielded numerous listings on the topic. These purple thistle are probably on a similar list, I wonder if the city will be sending out the sprayers?
In the comments on my post below, about the "faux" trip to Arizona, Pam asked about an overall shot of the landscape. What an omission! As I was posting the pictures I realized I only had one, and it didn't really tell the story. So I stopped back by tonight. Here are a few more pictures.
How I love the beautiful southwest landscape! Prickly pear cactus, yucca, agave…wait a minute!…where the heck am I?
Did I take a wrong turn on my way home and end up in Arizona? Nope, still at home in Portland, Oregon. But I am standing in front of my new favorite Portland garden, ever, period. With a front garden like this can you imagine what the back garden must look like? I wanted to go knock on the door and find out the story. Are these folks from Arizona and missed their homeland? Do they have simply the best taste ever in plants and garden design? (uhm, yes) Are they landscape designers? Do they ever have to water? As I was taking pictures and working up the courage to go intrude upon the residents peaceful Saturday afternoon a man walked up to me, wanting to sell me citrus fruit “just brought up from Arizona”. I’m not kidding…I’m standing there feeling like I am in Arizona and here is this guy holding a grapefruit in his hand telling me he just brought them up from Arizona! I passed on the offer; he went up to the front door and knocked. No answer. Ok so they weren’t home or didn’t want to be bothered. I guess that was my cue to leave them alone too.
I took pictures, scribbled a note on one of my danger garden calling cards, and tucked it in the mailbox. I’m hoping they’re curious, visit danger garden and comment, so I (and we) can learn more about what inspired this spectacular landscape. I am in awe.
The ‘New Varieties Showcase’ at the Farwest show was a judged competition with 4 categories: annuals and tender perennials; perennials and grasses; shrubs; and trees and conifers. To be included in the showcase the submitted plants had to all pass a set of qualifiers. Sorry, we were told what the rules were but I was too busy gawking at the plants to pay close attention to that part, I remember it involved being available to order from a vendor at the show, and being new plant material.
Two members of the ANLD (Association of Northwest Landscape Designers), Sara Smith of The Gardensmith and Linda Meyer of Linda Meyer Design tackled the challenge of putting together a visually cohesive display of 39 different plants. Imagine assembling a planting scheme of plant material that someone else chooses, all claiming to be the best and the brightest, all stars demanding the spotlight. Sara and Linda pulled it off by organizing the display in 2 parts. A ‘new’ condo/small garden/modern planting section (front) and an ‘old’ backyard/cottage garden section (back). They pulled it off nicely, that's it at the top of the post.
I considered engineering a trade with someone else, could I have their perennials and grasses vote, and their annuals and tender perennials vote, in exchange for my shrubs, and trees and conifers votes? Please?
Ok…time to relax…I’m taking this all too seriously. Deep breath…move on.
The biggest shocker for me in the ‘New Varieties Showcase’ was that a Buddleia, (Butterfly Bush) was being shown! I thought we had all moved on from this bad-boy after learning how invasive it is! Well, turns out this one is completely sterile and will not set seed. Interesting.
Like these Kangaroo Paws! Look at them! Aren’t they amazing? And there were Phormium growers, Foxtail Farms, up from San Diego and Ventura with so many wonderful varieties.
They were willing to sell their plugs/liners to a regular gardener like me. The price? Only $2.75, well…except the ones I chose were copyrighted. Add an extra 50 cents for the copyright, $3.25 each. I can’t get used to this whole copyright thing on plants! But they were very cool colors and in fact the ones I chose were exact opposites of each other, one pink on the outer edge and green in the middle (the left 2), and the other green in the middle with pink on the outer edge (the right 1). Hot.
A booth full of palms with a token agave. These folks (from California) said they were told people up here in Oregon grow agave as houseplants. Not all of us!
An entire booth full of bamboo, love these big timber bamboo, hardy to zero.
aw pottery…I wanted them all!
There were booths selling fertilizer, mechanisms to spread fertilizer, BIG machines that plant plants in their plastic pots, machines that did things I didn’t understand and didn’t want to understand! And even booths selling plastic pots.
#1 our favorite retail nurseries are going to be overwhelmed with new Barberries, Echinacea and Hibiscus in the upcoming months. Every booth seemed to be showcasing their favorite.
#2 nursery people are nice. Seriously, everyone was amazingly nice…it was almost scary.
#3 this is big business…REALLY big business. I am still trying to wrap my head around that part of it. Reading some of the informational material that I picked up is helping, all of your comments on my last post are helping. I look forward to learning more.
#4 even I can be overwhelmed with plant material. I thought I was tough. Nope I couldn’t take it all in and had to leave after only 4 hours. There was still an hour and a half to go in the show! I heard deals were to be had if you were there at 6pm when they all started packing up the booths. I love deals! I wimped out and headed back to my car. Maybe next year….

I read a ton of trade magazines during the course of the work week. I quickly scan the articles to see if anything jumps at me or that I mind find interesting.
While thumbing through an old Network World Fusion magazine, I read Paul McNamara's column, Net Buzz. Paul reveals how a bank manager got caught sending faxes with encoded messages.
The product, fax2it, connects in between the phone and the fax machine to catch all incoming and outgoing faxes. The fax2it device also has a CAT5 connection to your network where it can email the faxes to any email address you provide.
I would love to try a product like this out. If you anyone knows of anybody using this fax2it product, please drop me a line. | 2019-04-26T15:39:14Z | http://www.koozie.org/blog/2003/06/fishing_for_fax/ |
It’s that time again, another Battlefield launch. Battlefield V has now come to Origin Access Premier members which we bought into to get an early start on all this testing and try to bring as much coverage on the performance front as possible. Unfortunately even buying a subscription service doesn’t seem to get you around the DRM hardware change lockouts so this took a bit longer than expected to get to this point with even more work left to do. After 5 configuration changes we were locked out of 24 hours, subsequently causing us to get further and further behind. But how does the latest entry perform under new partnership with NVIDIA for the first time since it’s no longer carrying the Radeon banner of support? DXR Ray Tracing? At the time writing this out I’m actually updating the game for DXR support so hopefully we’ll have those results up very shortly.
All testing was done in this round using DX11 since DX12 resulted in constant stutters so it is a no go at the time of writing, we’ll be looking into that more with our DXR content. We tested the game at the beginning of the Tirailleur Episode as it’s well lit, relatively open and carries a of the effects in the game so it should be pretty representative of overall gameplay in the single player version. We did disable motion blur and vsync in all these tests as changing the graphics presets turns vsync back on and turns motion blur back to 50%. All testing was completed on the Z370 platform with the Core i5 8600k at 5GHz except for the tests that explicitly state the X370 Ryzen 7 1700 was used.
We started taking a look recently at the preset performance scaling to get a glimpse of performance increases or decreases that are typical when raising or lowering graphical presets. Since we only test at one preset across various resolutions this is to help give you an idea of what to expect when making changes to graphical fidelity.
This portion is actually being handled by another staff member, Alex, who actually happens to have a GTX 1080ti running on a Ryzen 7 platform. He ran these tests at 1080p with the High preset so they will be rather different from the rest of the results.
After further review, we will be conducting this test first going forward as this would have changed the way we handled the game in it’s entirety. Battlefield V is a game that clearly benefits from cores and thread count. The 5GHz Core i5 8600k may have pushed just fine on the average framerate front, but even at 1080p we found the 4GHz Ryzen 7 1700 to be the superior experience in this game. So things become more interesting as time moves forward in the world of gaming. We will be exploring this in the DXR Ray Tracing comparisons as well so stay tuned for that.
We tested DX12 in it’s initial launch like the rest of these numbers it was before any major patching. Something is hopefully in the works because at the time of testing it was a hot mess. An interesting side note was when taking a look at the RTX 2080ti with DX12 it exhibited the same behavior as the RX 480 and GTX 1060, but upon reloading at a checkpoint it smoothed out to parity with DX11, this did not happen on the RX 480 and GTX 1060 so we’ll be exploring that later in our DXR investigation.
There was a fair bit of concern by outspoken people in the comment section when Battlefield V was announced to be partnering with NVIDIA and the announcement of RTX support and what that meant for everyone else in terms of performance. I think it’s fair to say that those concerns are pretty much put to rest. The game runs great across a variety of hardware and for better or worse bring the cores/threads to this party. After we ran the game on the minimum spec PC and found the experience to be rather enjoyable I had no worries about the general performance. However, EA, changing core counts should not constitute thinking there was computer change, this is getting old so this game will unlikely be included in performance reviews going forward since we were not able to quickly revisit configurations after changing.

As winters approach, and spinach season arrives, I cannot help but include tons of recipes with these wonder green in our daily menu. Thankfully the kids love it in all forms and especially when served with paneer or tofu. Paalak-paneer (Cottage cheese in spinach gravy) is a family favourite and is on a repeat at least once a week throughout winter (yup! we take our spinach very seriously). We also do a spinach stir-fry with our special five spice mix (panchforan) and that gave me an idea to come up with this new recipe.
Tofu is a great source of vegetarian protein and while some of us aren’t the biggest fans of the soft variety, I am yet to meet someone who says no to the stiffer chewy kind. And thats the kind which works best in this recipe. You could use it as is or stir fry in a teaspoon of oil to enhance flavours. This dish is best enjoyed with hot fulkas and daal but tastes as good with rice too. | 2019-04-23T08:49:53Z | https://onewholesomemeal.com/spinach-tofu-stir-fry/ |
Fuerteventura is the closest island of the Canaries to the North African coast. Although the partly mountainous country is rather dry and sparse, it has magnificent white sand beaches to compensate. There is a total of 77 km of coastline reserved for beaches which is far more than what any other of the Canary Islands have. The largest beaches are located in the south of the island on the peninsula of Jandía. However, in the north of the island and more specifically in La Oliva, you will find many beautiful beaches as well as one of our villas in Fuerteventura with private pool called finca Los Risquetes.
Fuerteventura is the perfect place for all water sports, because its beaches offer ideal conditions for many sports involving the sea. The most popular ones are surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. In fact, the island proudly hosts two major water sports events such as the Fuerteventura Windsurfing & Kiteboarding World Cup in Sotavento, and the Canarian Waveriders in Corralejo. Besides from sports, Fuerteventura is very famous for its wonderful beaches.
Many people from all over world who are looking to spend their holidays in a beach environment choose Fuerteventura. Most beaches are quiet with very few people, gentle sea and great conditions making it the perfect spot for a family vacation especially if you want to stay in any of our villas with private pool on Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura is very dry, but at the same time exotic and mysteriously beautiful. That is mainly due to its volcanic origins and its particular geographical location. On land you can find plenty of cacti, palm trees and succulent plants, some of which are endemic. The fauna on land consists mainly of birds some of which are migratory species. There are also lizards, turtles and wild rabbits that live on Fuerteventura. Needless to say that you can find a great variety of flora and fauna on the sea if you want to go snorkeling. You can see all of those plants and animals if you want to stay in one of the many luxury villas to rent on Fuerteventura. Fuerteventura’s landscape is quite sparse, but it all changes with a more colorful and diverse underwater world. It’s diving reefs are famous for their fish abundance, especially large fish such as dolphins and manta rays.
Fuerteventura has a lot to offer for culture lovers, and you can interact with it in any of our Fuerteventura private accommodation to rent. There are many small museums on the island where you can learn about the Spanish conquistadores or the agriculture and rural life. On the other hand, you can get to know Canarian artists in "Casa Mané" or visit the house of one of the most famous Spanish authors of all times, Miguel de Unamuno. In addition there are many musical events and festivals with both local and international artists such as the internationally famous WOMAD festival that has already taken place several times on Fuerteventura. Another musical highlight is the Festival Internacional de Música de Canarias which is ideal for classical music fans. | 2019-04-22T22:27:58Z | https://www.lascasascanarias.com/en/fuerteventura/holiday-rentals.html |
MIAMI — Friday’s game between the host Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies would seem to highly favor the visitors.
After all, the Phillies (52-40) are in first place in the National League East and the Marlins (39-56) are last in the same division.
Further, the Phillies on Friday will be throwing veteran right-hander Jake Arrieta, who won the NL Cy Young Award in 2015 and a World Series title with the Chicago Cubs in 2016.
The Marlins will counter with left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (2-6, 6.14 ERA), who has been one of the biggest flops in baseball in the third season of a five-year, $80 million contract.
But a deeper dive into the numbers gives the Marlins hope as it pertains to Friday’s opener of a three-game series.
For starters, while the Marlins rested Thursday, the Phillies had to play at the New York Mets on Wednesday and then at the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The Phillies beat the Orioles 5-4, but they still figure to be a road-weary team on Friday when they play in their third city in three nights.
Also, while Chen has been truly awful on the road this year with a 10.47 ERA that is the worst in the majors, he has been remarkably good at home. His home ERA of 1.89 is the ninth best in the majors this year among pitchers with at least 30 innings in their own stadiums.
Further, while Arrieta has been solid overall this season with a 6-6 record and a 3.47 ERA, he has struggled in two starts against the Marlins. His numbers against the Marlins read like this: 7 2/3 innings, 9.39 ERA.
From a team standpoint, the Marlins are coming off a series in which they took two of three games from the Milwaukee Brewers, who have the best record in the NL.
Moreover, the Marlins — since April 23 — are much improved with a 34-40 record during that span, roughly half a season in which they have played close to .500 ball. And while that may not be overly impressive, it paints this young Marlins team as something other than the disaster they were supposed to be when the front office engineered yet another sell-off this past offseason.
The Marlins on Friday will also get their lone All-Star — catcher J.T. Realmuto — back from a three-game paternity leave.
In addition, the Marlins have standouts such as right fielder Brian Anderson, who has 105 hits and is batting .288. Not since Corey Seager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016 has a rookie had that many hits before the All-Star Game.
Meanwhile, the Phillies have a lineup that is led by, among others, outfielder Rhys Hoskins, who hit 18 homers in 50 games last year in his first season in the majors.
Hoskins, 25, has fallen a bit from that impressive homer rate but has gone deep 14 times in 83 games.
In addition, Hoskins on Wednesday was selected to compete in the 2018 Home Run Derby. | 2019-04-24T08:56:03Z | https://www.foxsports.com/florida/story/philadelphia-phillies-at-miami-marlins-preview-friday-july-13-071318 |
In the year since it opened in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, we’ve become big fans of the Kit Kat Chocolatory, the specialty store for the chocolate-covered wafers that’re especially popular in Japan. As a matter of fact, somewhere in the course of our multiple visits to procure the latest and greatest Kit Kat flavors, we’ve forgotten what life was like before the shop opened.
But while we’re living in the land of plenty with two different Chocolatory locations in Tokyo (the second is near Tokyo Station), not all of Japan is so fortunate. Until now, only residents of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya could claim their town had its own Kit Kat paradise.
That’s about to change, though, as a new Kit Kat Chocolatory is opening soon in Hokkaido, and bringing a new flavor with it: butter.
Part of the reason Kit Kats have rocketed to popularity in Japan is the way parent company Nestle has wholeheartedly embraced the Japanese practice of making limited-edition sweets that pay tribute to local culinary traditions. As one of the few regions of Japan with ample pasture space, Hokkaido is home to a large number of the country’s dairies. That’s why when the newest Chocolatory opens March 7 in Sapporo, Hokkaido’s capital city, shoppers will be able to purchase not only more orthodox chocolate Kit Kats, but also the Chocolatory Special Butter flavor.
The flavor was picked as the winner in a contest organized by the Tsuji Group culinary school, likely beating out other foodstuffs associated with Hokkaido such as milk, cheese, and melon (the region is also famous for its salmon and sea urchin, but we’re assuming no one was quite adventurous enough to seriously propose them as Kit Kat flavors).
The Special Butter flavor will be available in packs of 12 (seen above) for 1,200 yen (US $10.20), or in four-piece boxes (pictured below) for 400 yen.
While the Special Butter Kit Kats will initially be sold only at the Sapporo Chocolatory, located in the Daimaru department store, they’re expected to make their way to other branches in due time. On the other hand, the Sapporo location will remain the only place where you can buy the 1,350-yen Kit Kat Chocolatory Special Sapporo Assortment, a 12-piece collection of four flavors, including Special Butter.
Also, to celebrate the new store’s grand opening, all Chocolatory branches in Japan will once again be selling Chocolatory Special Sakura Green Tea Kit Kats, made with Uji matcha green tea, white chocolate, and edible cherry blossom leaves.
The Sapporo Chocolatory is expected to, as always, draw large crowds, especially on opening day. If you’re hoping to get your hands on some of the buttery goodness the store is offering, we recommend getting to the Sapporo Daimaru no later than 10 a.m., when the doors open, and preferably sooner.
Special melon and cheese-flavored Kit Kat now available, but only at selected airports! | 2019-04-20T10:44:03Z | https://soranews24.com/2015/02/25/butter-flavored-kit-kats-come-to-japan-as-new-specialty-store-opens-in-hokkaido/ |

Fund raiser for Breast Cancer, originally uploaded by captainjay.
It's breast cancer awareness month so it's time for Betsy's Bar annual fund raiser for Breast Cancer. Every year the Red Hat society teams up with Betsy's bar for a fun fund raiser. They decorate bras for display and everyone donates a dollar to their favorite design. All proceeds go to the Cancer Support VI. Of course my vote went to the disco bra! It's a great cause so if you're on island make sure to stop by and vote and support this local charity. | 2019-04-22T08:15:18Z | http://livedelifeusvi.blogspot.com/2012/10/fund-raiser-for-breast-cancer.html |
QUICK, someone get me a beer! With spring right around the corner, I’m jumping full on into summer mode. I’ve been waiting to post this recipe for a long time. Partly because it has evolved so much since I started making it and because it is a great summer entrée.
Mussels over linguine with garlic butter sauce is a combination of my usual mussels recipe, which is essentially steamed mussels in white wine, garlic, butter, fresh herbs, and cream, plus a simple pasta sauce made with fresh basil, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese (essentially pesto ingredients, minus the pine nuts).
Combining the two ideas finally perfected this dish. I used to make something very similar, but without the cream and parmesan cheese, the sauce is too thin and doesn’t have a lot of flavor. The key is whipping cream. It gives the sauce a bit more consistency and something for the flavors to cling to.
Enough about ingredients. If you’ve never made mussels before they are incredibly easy to make (and awesome on their own I might add). You can steam in a covered sauce pan with white wine, BEER, or water for about 5 minutes and they are done. That’s it. I like to keep things as simple as possible so for this recipe everything is cooked in the same sauce pan minus the linguine.
Bring the linguine to a boil, and while it’s cooking, add all ingredients (except for the cream and parmesan cheese) to a covered sauce pan and simmer for about 5 minutes. When the pasta is done I strain and stir it into the mussels and white wine sauce along with cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes and serve immediately.
That’s really all there is too it. A gourmet looking meal without the gourmet cooking effort (I’ve been fooling Patty to this day).
Rinse the mussels and remove beards if necessary, discard any that do not fully close when rinsing (these are dead).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook linguine until al dente.
Meanwhile, with linguine still boiling, combine all remaining ingredients (except for the cream and parmesan cheese) in a large covered sauce pan on medium-high heat.
Cover and simmer mussels in the white wine sauce until fully cooked and shells open up, about 5 minutes. Stir sauce and mussels to coat in sauce.
When linguine is finished, strain and stir into the mussels and white wine sauce. Now add cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5-7 minutes while covered, stirring occasionally until the sauce slightly thickens.
Serve topped with a pinch of fresh basil, parmesan cheese, and 6-7 mussels.
Yummmmm, this looks delicious! I have never cooked mussels, but have always wanted to. You make it look and sound easy and doable. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Becca – glad I could help! Let me know how it turns out.
Tried this recipe last night and it was excellent. I might cut down some on the garlic next time, and I didn t need nearly as much sauce as this made, but the dish was extremely tasty.
Awesome, really glad you liked it. Yes, we are a garlic loving family but you can add to taste.
My husband hates cream, can this be made without the whipping cream?
Yes you could, the sauce would be thinner, so I can’t say it would be the same flavor, but you could still do it.
Perfect idea, Katrina. My suggestion would be to fully cook the shrimp and scallops together seperatly in a different pan. Then mix them in at the very end. Let me know how this works out!
Love your recipes! I am making mussels over linguine tonight. My new daughter in-law- wants a copy of the recipe but when I went to print I could not find a way to eliminate all but the first photo. Your photos are great but use a lot of color ink.
I did manage the pages to print but in the above layout, the photos are on pages with print so impossible to delete. At least with my Brother printer.
If you can’t see this then it could be something wrong on my side. Hope this helps.
If I only have dried basil, how much should I use?
Maybe 1-2 tablespoons? You can add to taste but I would start there.
I have a bag of already shelled & precooked mussels. How can & how would I use them in this recipe?
I would bring all the ingredients to a simmer in the sauce pan as the recipe calls for and simmer the mussels as well to warm them up. Or you could add when you add the pasta and let the sauce thicken for a few minutes. You can almost follow the recipe the same way as the mussels cook so quickly when raw.
Hey Shawn – I found your mussels and linguine recipe on line a few months back and it was GREAT. I didn’t realize there was a whole blog that went with it until today when I pulled it up again. Looks like some really interesting recipes I’ll be giving a try. Thanks for all your efforts.
A lot more where that came from, Jeff! Glad you liked the recipe and really glad you found me. Thanks for a dropping note.
Made this tonight. Followed the recipe exactly. Measured everything carefully. It was delicious, but ended up as more of a soup than a sauce. The sauce would not thicken (and I was careful to really drain the pasta before adding). I suppose I could have used some cornstarch, but we just ate it in bowls. Still, would make it again.
Love this dish, except the Parmesan cheese. A sin with seafood in my humble opinion ?
Ahhh, Ben it’s the best part!
Made this recipe with my boyfriend today and could not believe how good/easy/inexpensive this dish was! I mean…mindblowingly easy and delicious! All the ingredients were easy, the measurements were dead on for perfect flavoring, and we did used fully cooked mussels we bought frozen but we just let them simmer for a few minutes in the sauce and they were amazing! I’ll definitely be using this recip again and a few others from the site as well.
I made this for my fiancé as an anniversary dinner tonight and OMG. Not only was it incredibly affordable and SO easy, the flavors were spot on and exactly what I think of when I imagine perfect mussels. Took me right back to Rome and our engagement trip last year! Thanks for an amazing recipe, I will be making this over and over to impress dinner guests!
Perfetto ?? so glad you liked it, Bonnie.
Tried this recipe the other day and it was absolutely fabulous! Instead of using parmesan cheese, I used a fresh 4 cheese combination! Definitely a keeper and I would highly recommend. Thank you so much for posting!
Made this tonight for dinner and it was AMAZING!! Was so easy and delicious! Will definitely be making this one again!
My husband is Italian, southside Chicago. I brought these mussels come from the market, he smiles and asks, “what are you making with those?” I said, “Well, I’m going to swagger into the kitchen and look up something, lovely.” So, here we are, it was divine.
I hate typos, normally I don’t drink but tonight I mixed some ginger soda with wine…just a little is all I need…typo city.
Don’t even worry about it, Deborah. I’m drinking a beer and swaggering up some spicy shrimp tacos as we speak.
I made this recipe last night. I just followed the instructions. So easy. My husband enjoyed it.
Thank you so much. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Can I add chopped onion to this dish?
Amazing. Have made it twice now, just wonderful.

What’s Wrong With This Business Card?
What’s the difference between a well-designed business card and one with poor, ineffective design?
Let’s play a fun game that will answer this question! (The game starts with a lame business card and ends with a totally transformed business card.) Along the way, you’ll pick up several practical tips you can use immediately to evaluate your own business card.
Let’s start by taking a look at the business card below (this was a real card from one of my clients, btw). Can you tell me what’s wrong with it? Psst – study the card’s use of fonts, white space, the flow of information, and the messaging.
Now, it’s not that awful – after, all, you can read the important information. But it definitely doesn’t get me excited enough to pick up the phone and call when I have a problem they could help with. So let’s talk through all the ways we can make this business card better by pointing out the mistakes.
This one business card uses five fonts (to be fair, it uses 4 fonts total, 3 of which are used by the affiliation logo at the bottom left, and 1 in regular, italics, bold and uppercase – agh!). For uncluttered reading and effective communication, use no more than two fonts (2 fonts with one of the fonts using regular & bold weights or bold & italic styles can also work). Bonus points if you use non-standard typography (make sure you avoid these fonts – they’re overused). Google fonts and FontShop are a great place to start looking for professionally-designed free fonts. Standard fonts = boring (as is any font you’re used to seeing in the ‘Fonts’ dropdown menu in Microsoft Word).
Don’t try to fill the space. Organize the information well, allowing for elegance and legibility.
tipWhite space doesn’t have to be white. And real men and women aren’t afraid of a little white space!
3. Where do I look first?
My eyes don’t know where to land, because the same priority is given to the upper left address, the center business name and contact name, and the bottom left logo. My eyes buzz around the card with little to latch onto because the hierarchy of information isn’t clearly defined.
Give each element a logical and visual hierarchy. Help the recipient of your card know where to look first. Group contact information together. It’s just easier for the ‘end user’.
tipAvoid giving items equal prominence if they’re visually separated. In other words, assuming your pieces of information are properly grouped together, establish a hierarchy so that each group has a distinctive ranking or clear visual importance. Your logo may rank above the contact’s name, which may rank above the contact’s email and phone number. Sometimes it may work better to give the person’s name a bit more prominence – there are no specific rules about which should come first. Just be smart what can hang back a bit and what should be front and center.
So… what can this guy actually do for me? If your business card doesn’t explain what you do or offer, it won’t be very useful if the recipient forgets your name and it tumbles out of his wallet or her purse 6 months from now. Even a business as obviously named as ‘NYC Hair & Nails’ could use a great description to make them stand out from all the other hair and nail salons out there – ‘Making New Yorkers beautiful for over 25 years’ is a great place to start!
It certainly helps to have solid branding for your business and a logo that really works, too.
A black and white card may not be as powerful and in some cases, and even may create an impression that you are frugal (is frugality part of your brand?). On the other hand, a black and white layout – if used in a particularly smart or bold way – can be quite effective at delivering information. Color is more expensive, but if your card makes a lasting impression via a savvy use of color, isn’t the extra investment worth it?
tipAlways use the exact color tints utilized by your logo, and don’t go overboard with multiple colors if they’re not already part of your brand. A good rule of thumb is to use black (or grey) and 1 to 3 accent colors (so 4 colors max).
Now, let’s look at how pretty this business card can be!
tipDon’t forget to use the back side!
Now grab your business card and run through this blog post again, measuring your own card. How did it do? | 2019-04-23T18:48:24Z | https://atelierlks.com/whats-wrong-business-card/ |
Unicorns seem to be all the rage these days. Well, perhaps rage isn’t quite the right word, since the resurgence of interest seems to be as much about peace and positive visions than anything else. It’s interesting to see the wide range of ways the concept and image of the unicorn has been applied lately — from the in-your-face independent journalism of Unicorn Riot to the rolling-in-the-dough success of billion-dollar companies on Fortune’s Unicorn List. When we want to praise someone for their uniqueness, we might call them a unicorn; when we want to dismiss them as being unrealistic, we might do the same. This is a paradox as old as the myth itself.
It’s hard to say where the future of unicorns will take us. But no matter where it all leads, one thing is certain: unicorns may never have actually existed, and yet somehow they’re here to stay. So get on your unicorn … and get your unicorn on!

Our guide on starting a laser tag business covers all the essential information to help you decide if this business is a good match for you. Learn about the day-to-day activities of a laser tag business owner, the typical target market, growth potential, startup costs, legal considerations, and more!
What happens during a typical day at a laser tag business?
Upon opening your business, you will likely want to take a more active role in the day-to-day operations of the facility. As the arena starts to generate more revenue, additional members of your team can be added to take over management of your enterprise.
Speaking with current and potential clients who are interested in hosting events at the facility.
While individuals of every age group enjoy laser tag, your core demographic will be aged six to fourteen. Your younger players enjoy the full experience, immersing themselves in this fun-filled, adventurous world.
With proper arena design and a sound marketing strategy, your business does have the potential to attract adults. Your adult customers are there to challenge their co-workers, enjoy an evening out with friends, or compete against others who take the game more seriously.
How does a laser tag business make money?
Laser tag businesses charge a fee per person for each game played.
What is the growth potential for a laser tag business?
As one of the most profitable businesses in the entertainment industry, laser tag facilities generated over $375 million dollars in the United States last year. This industry offers a profit margin of up to 40%, further demonstrating its earning potential.
What are some skills and experiences that will help you build a successful laser tag business?
Each day, you will interact with customers, your staff, and those that fit the marketing profile. Therefore, you must possess strong leadership skills, particularly in communication and delegation. An understanding of the target demographic would additionally help solidify your marketing and networking skills, as well as ensure a playful and fun experience for each customer. To ensure long-term growth in this industry, strong strategic business management skills would also prove beneficial.
To get a feel for the business, customers, and how you want to design your facility, entrepreneurs are urged to spend some time working in the industry. The Laser Tag Convention is an annual event that offers business owners insight into industry standards and trends and is a great way to network within the community. Additionally, the Laser Tag Owners Association is a wealth of information for those just starting out in the industry.
What are the costs involved in opening a laser tag business?
A laser tag facility requires a significant amount of square footage and equipment. Therefore, start-up entrepreneurs are urged to set a budget of $115,000 to $252,000, depending upon region and the specifics of the arena course.
Lease building - 5,000 to 6,000 square feet is recommended for interactive course in a standalone building.
Laser tag equipment - Guns, vests, scoring software, obstacles for play area. Each taser and vest will set you back $2,000.00 to $5,000.00. Indoor facilities should have an inventory of thirty to forty guns and vests.
If you lack industry experience and are looking for support in this business endeavor, consider investing in one of the many franchise opportunities. Franchise owners frequently offer financing options and can provide valuable insight that could help get your business off the ground in less time.
What are the steps to start a laser tag business?
Form a legal entity. Establishing a legal business entity prevents you from being personally liable if your laser tag business is sued.
Open a business bank account. A dedicated checking account for your laser tag business keeps your finances organized and makes your business appear more professional to your customers.
What are some insider tips for jump starting a laser tag business?
Never underestimate the importance of your equipment. It should be light enough to be carried by children, yet heavy duty enough to attract competitive laser tag enthusiasts. Hit accuracy range between phasers is critical.
Before investing in equipment, research the manufacturer. Testimonials offer valuable insight into equipment quality, as well as manufacturer support.
The look and overall design of your facility, particularly the obstacle course, is equally as important.
Keep in mind that this is a limited occupancy activity. To ensure adequate space, industry leaders recommend approximately 166 square feet per player.
Consult with a contractor before committing to a building. Specific safety and construction guidelines must be met.
Adjust your hours to accommodate your demographic.
To reduce liability exposure, have each patron sign a waiver before entering the laser tag course.
Established laser tag businesses recommend budgeting for $2,000 to $5,000 per month for your marketing strategy. Because laser tag is enjoyed by so many different types of people, you will need to tailor your marketing efforts towards each demographic.
Your presence in the community will be an integral component to building a loyal following. Consider donating your time and facility to ill and/or disabled children, churches, and other local charities. This goodwill should result in a symbiotic relationship that benefits both for years to come.
Parties and events are a great revenue generator for laser tag facilities. Direct mailers and faxes are effective methods for attracting large groups. Focus your efforts on corporate event coordinators, schools, sports organizations, and churches, emphasizing laser tag as a fun, team-building exercise.
To attract walk-in patrons, partner with a local pizza restaurant. Ask them to attach coupons to the outside of their boxes, either for a fee or in exchange for reciprocal services. Additionally, your business should have an informative website and maintain a consistent social media presence.
Two weeks prior to the grand opening, start advertising on radio stations, during your local news, and through printed mailers. Make sure the local media is present during the event, inviting one of the radio stations to broadcast live. Partner with other small businesses within the community to offer special promotions and gifts for your first seventy-five to one hundred patrons. This inexpensive strategy gets your name out in the community and supports other local organizations.
It’s important to remember that your target demographic spans a large number of age and interest groups. To encourage positive word-of-mouth, it is recommended that you allocate a portion of your monthly marketing budget for rewarding return customers. A rewards program that offers prizes for each level met has proven effective. You could also award coupons or prizes to players who return with new customers. This relays the message that you value your customers and incentivizes them to share your facility, and their positive experiences, with others.
Strong customer service is critical to the strength and growth of your laser tag arena. To assist in customer retention, employ of team that is friendly, helpful, and dedicated to ensuring a positive customer experience. Keep the game interesting by rearranging the arena and adding new features. It is also recommended that you schedule routine maintenance on all equipment to ensure everything is in working order at all times.
Your team should consist of: a general manager, two to three shift managers, laser tag attendants, and party hosts. Before opening your doors, carefully interview prospective employees. Your team can consist of individuals from all age brackets; just make sure each member of your staff is properly trained on the equipment, safety, and rules and regulations. They are also the face of your business and must contribute to each patron’s positive experience.
Certain state permits and licenses may be needed to operate a laser tag business. Learn more about licensing requirements in your state by visiting SBA’s reference to state licenses and permits.
To avoid liability and potential lawsuits, laser tag businesses should have their clients sign a release of liability. Here is an example of one such form.
Recommended: Rocket Lawyer makes it easy to create a professional release of liability form for your laser tag business when you sign up for their premium membership. For $39.95 per month, members receive access to hundreds of legal agreements and on call attorneys to get complimentary legal advice.
A laser tag business is generally run out of a warehouse. Businesses operating out of a physical location typically require a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). A CO confirms that all building codes, zoning laws and government regulations have been met.
Before leasing, confirm that your landlord has or can obtain a valid CO that is applicable to a laser tag business.
Review all building codes and zoning requirements for your business’ location to ensure your laser tag business will be in compliance and able to obtain a CO.
Typically, laser tag will be conducted in timed games and consumers will pay per game. Games last an average of five to seven minutes. The standard price for one game is $8-$15, with a discount added for each additional game or packaged options offered.
What are the ongoing expenses for a laser tag business?
How much profit can a laser tag business make?
A profit of $40,000 to $100,000 is achievable within the first three years of ownership. This requires a well-designed facility, a strong marketing strategy, and at least sixteen laser guns in play forty-five hours per week.
Endorse competitive events. This establishes a recognizable name for your organization and assists in consistently attracting new and repeat customers. | 2019-04-23T04:36:50Z | https://howtostartanllc.com/business-ideas/laser-tag |
Thank you! The decision to not cap salaries is very welcome news and I thank you, the SRC, and anyone else involved for coming to it.
I am curious about the expectations of the upcoming Mercer study. When you say “refine the salary structure itself”, could that entail adding more bands and levels if Mercer feels that too many positions are clustered together when they shouldn’t be? Or is the expectation more to keep the current structure and perhaps reassign positions within it, if necessary? Or is it a possibility to completely revamp it in some way?
A belated thanks for this decision. Capping salaries would have been a strong incentive for some of our best mid-level employees to seek employment at our peer colleges with traditional salary plans, since mid-career is a perfect time to advance elsewhere. You can’t wait until you hit or near a cap because age and salary level at that point work against you. Staff above the midpoint are already giving up some salary increase for the benefit of all, so this adjustment seems fair and it is a huge boost to morale for long-time, dedicated employees. Thank you for recognizing that the small extra redistribution of money would have been counterproductive in so many ways.
Following the Trustee meetings last weekend, is there any news you can share regarding the rates for the July 1 staff salary increase amounts?
When can the College staff expect an announcement on the 7/1 salary increases?
Thanks for the follow up on the questions posed above. I haven’t been ignoring these questions–just trying to clarify when news about the salary increase pool will be shared.
On that front, I think we can do better than June 12. We’re aiming to get an email out by the end of the week, and it will come from Patrick. | 2019-04-22T16:18:01Z | http://sites.middlebury.edu/acrosscampus/2011/04/13/important-update-on-salary-increase-program/ |

Customers have always expected honesty from their service providers. One could even argue that advances in technology and evolved payment models - such as subscription billing practices - have made consumers even more critical of the businesses they interact with. Customer service, value and ease of use remain their highest priorities.
To see this point illustrated in the real world, one only has to look at the history of Tidal. This streaming music platform, owned by rapper and music mogul Shawn Carter, has been plagued with negative media attention since its beginnings. Most recently, Yahoo Finance reported a Chicago law firm filed a class-action lawsuit against Tidal, Carter - more commonly known as Jay-Z - and rapper Kanye West.
A lawsuit claims Tidal misled its subscribers.
The $5 million lawsuit, filed by Edelson PC on behalf of Justin Baker-Rhett, claims Tidal, Carter and West lied about the service's exclusive value in order to obtain new subscribers under false pretenses. On Feb. 14, 2016, West released his latest album, 'The Life of Pablo,' exclusively on Tidal. He made several public statements - most famously on Twitter - claiming the album would never be released in stores or on any other platform. These proclamations proved to be untrue - West released 'The Life of Pablo' on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Google Play on April 1.
Yahoo Finance obtained official documents from the lawsuit that claim neither West nor S. Carter Enterprises - Carter's holding company - ever intended for the album to remain exclusively on Tidal.
"To the contrary, they - knowing that Tidal was in trouble but not wanting to invest their own money to save the company - chose to fraudulently induce millions of American consumers into paying for Tidal's rescue," the document states.
Baker-Rhett believes this turn of events ultimately means the music service obtained members' personal and payment information illegally. He invited other Tidal members to join his lawsuit and wants the company to delete their data and stop charging them for the service.
"This lawsuit emphasizes the importance of clear and accurate customer communication."
This lawsuit emphasizes the importance of clear and accurate customer communication. Businesses operating on a subscription management model need customers that trust them, otherwise they won't commit to recurring payments.
At the same time, West's actions hint at the numerous ways and channels customers receive information from their service providers, whether or not these means are intended by the business. West made his statements regarding the album's exclusive nature on a popular social media platform. Despite the fact that Twitter made its rise as a casual service and is often viewed as a less professional channel than email, the site has become serious enough that statements made on it can be held against a public figure. It's reasonable to believe West's Twitter statements truly applied to Tidal and his album and weren't just off-hand comments, Baker-Rhett claimed. Only the lawsuit itself will confirm the validity of this statement, but it does indicate the manner in which consumers expect to interact with a business.
No matter where a company makes a statement - on Twitter, through email, as a press release or otherwise - customers expect it to be true. They also expect businesses to interact with them across a multitude of channels. Gone are the days of receiving information only through the mail - consumers expect to find a business anywhere and everywhere. In marketing, this concept is called a multichannel or omnichannel approach. It means providing consumers with an accurate consistent experience no matter how they choose to interact with a business. | 2019-04-20T23:05:53Z | https://www.vindicia.com/blog/how-truth-and-channels-affect-customer-communications-and-subscription-billing |
Grandpa and Grandma were visiting the kids overnight, when Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet.
He asked the son about using one of the pills, and the son said "I don't think you should take one; they're very strong and very expensive."
"$10.00 a pill", answered the son.
"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd like to try one, and I'll leave the money under your pillow as soon as I break this $50.00 bill."
The next morning the son found $110.00 under his pillow. He said to Grandpa, "I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00."
"I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma." | 2019-04-24T12:42:14Z | http://209.197.70.207/cutts/viagra.html |

Israel is ready to negotiate with the PA but it wants to impose preconditions, says Defense Minister during a talk in Washington.
The so-called “Arab peace initiative” is a spin, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon (Likud-Yisrael Beytenu) said on Friday.
Speaking at the Washington Institute of Near East Policy, Yaalon said, "The Arab peace initiative is a spin. Prime Minister Netanyahu has said that Israel is ready to return to the negotiating table without preconditions and dictations, but the Arab initiative is a dictation - first we need to give up territory, then the Arabs would consider a relationship with us."
The Arab Peace Initiative, unveiled in 2002 by Saudi Arabia, says that 22 Arab countries will normalize ties with Israel in return for an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria.
It was recently revived when Qatar’s Prime Minister indicated that he supported a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that would be defined by the June 4, 1967 borders, but at the same time backed U.S. President Barack Obama's proposals for a "comparable and mutual agreed minor swap of the land" between Israel and the PA, to reflect the realities of the burgeoning communities on the ground.
"We are ready to come immediately and talk about everything, without preconditions, but not just about territory,” Yaalon said in Washington. “The Palestinians have preconditions, and therefore the possibility to begin talks is delayed. We are ready to discuss everything with them, but without an educational change in the PA, I cannot be optimistic about progress in the process, and so we must prepare to manage the conflict."
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, instead of talking to Israel, has continued to impose preconditions on talks, including a demand that Israel release terrorists who were jailed before 1993, freeze construction in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem and even present a map of the future Palestinian state before any negotiations take place.
In his remarks on Friday, Defense Minister Yaalon addressed the security situation in the Middle East. Regarding Syria, he said he “can’t see stability in the near future” in that country, noting that the worst-case scenario for Israel would if Al-Qaeda elements cause further destabilization in the region, particularly in Jordan.
At the same time he emphasized that there are red lines that would trigger Israeli actions in Syria, including cross-border fire and the transfer of chemical and strategic weapons.
He said that, while Israel was troubled by Russia providing advanced weapons for President Bashar Al-Assad’s forces, it has not seriously damaged the relationship between the two countries.
Referring to Iran and its nuclear program, the Defense Minister said the West needs to show that it has the “political stomach to go all the way” if it wants to force the Islamic Republic to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
Later on Friday, Yaalon is expected to meet with his American counterpart, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. | 2019-04-22T18:18:29Z | http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/168934 |

Recent work we`ve made for our clients!
Everything we encounter revolves around screens: big screens, small screens; cinema, TVs , computers, tablets, mobile phones – each and every single device has a square or a rectangle form that is constantly feeding us visual information. However, only a minuscule amount of this information manages to capture and maintain our attention. We work on this premise, to engage the viewer not only to see our creations, but want to watch them. | 2019-04-23T00:13:24Z | http://framebreed.com/ |
Bussole Rotte – Broken compasses is the pilot project through which the Civic Theatre School Paolo Grassi starts to reflect on Migration and to focus on it in 2016.
Bussole Rotte touches different experiences and points of view on immigration through the encounter of five schools: Civic Theatre School Paolo Grassi, Fine Arts Academy of Brera (Milan), Academy August Everding (Munich), Acting Department, Faculty of Dramatic Arts (Belgrade), and Theatre503 (London).
Contemporary migrations are cluttering the media, but when they cross our urban space we cannot see them in their concrete reality. The project explores the theme of migrations nowadays and how this phenomenon is dramatically changing Europe in a social, political and geographical way.
We appreciate the perspective of the young artists to whom we direct our training, to tell the ongoing change through the new drama. The project opens with a thematic workshop in which the students from 4 countries realize a series of micro dramas that are performed in Milan in July 2016.
For the occasion, the Civic School of Theater Paolo Grassi becomes, through the various spaces, a sort of “migration territory”. It consists of an itinerant show where each micro drama is represented in different spaces and corners of the school. The public becomes a “migrant” who, from being like a guest spectator, becomes “traveling”, along the various physical, visual and narrative itineraries.
“Broken Compasses” is part of Promised Lands, a project through which the Civic School of Theater Paolo Grassi intends to explore the reality in the coming years, returning it through the creative instruments of the Theater. Broken Compasses project starts in April 2016 with the “Ideas Lab”: four days of open confrontation and elaboration around the theme of immigration as a contemporary social phenomenon.
Between May and June, young dramatists, in close contact with directors, set designers and costume designers, are accompanied by their creative writing process by various important supporters: David Carnevali, author and teacher of dramaturgy for Italy, Igor Vuk Torbica, theater and radio assistant for Serbia, Laura Olivi, dramaturg for Germany, Monica Nappo Kelly, director and actress for England. For the staging of the whole show, Michele De Vita Conti’s co-ordination is valuable, while the set-up of the itineraries is carried out by Vittorio Borsari and Gabriele Geretz Albanese.
Project partner is Emergency, who has always been the protagonist and actor in the territories of world conflicts. It is one of the organizations that, even on the Italian territory, deals in depth with integration and hospitality. | 2019-04-25T06:50:51Z | http://www.fondazionemilano.eu/metropolis/about/bussole-rotte/ |
