There are those you let into your life, confide in, spend time and energy with, trust in & care about. These people support you; there’s an exchange of energy, respect and friendship.
Then there are those who you let into your life, confide in, spend time and energy with, trust in & care about. These people lie, take what suits and offer nothing whatsoever in return. The kicker is that they don’t have the courage to discuss it; instead choosing to build a wall of silence. Tired of trying, now I’ve chosen to walk away. | 2019-04-20T15:11:55Z | http://www.ancathach.com/2010/02/hundred-other-words.html |
Update: On Dec. 10 Jericho Oil announced that Valkyrie 19-12-06, a high-rate, single mile Meramec oil well in Blaine County, "achieved a peak 24-hour rate of 725 oil-equivalent barrels ("BOE") per day (55% oil). The 30-day normalized rate (IP30) for this ~4,500 ft perforated lateral well was 625 BOE per day (52% oil). Initial rates of productivity from the Valkyrie continue to strongly support the Company's confidence in its multi-zone developments and the overall value of our coveted STACK acreage position. The Valkyrie, in addition to the STACK JV's previously announced Wardroom Meramec well, located 2 miles to the southeast, show consistent performance of the STACK resource, crucial to our Company's long-term net asset value." More details are available here.
They've hit on a couple monster wells in the last quarter, validating all their acreage. They're in Oklahoma, which enjoys some of the best oil prices in North America. And Encana's $5.5 billion buyout of Newfield tells me the industry loves this play.
All these producers will have a reflex bounce up come January�just from the mindless selling pressure of tax loss time ending. There is a "gimme" of 20-30% coming in early January.
The Bakken in North Dakota had been enjoying a premium to WTI after the Dakota Access Pipeline went into service last year�but surging production there has already filled it and that premium has rapidly fallen to a $20/b discount on some days recently.
One of the largest producing basins is the Canadian oil sands, and those barrels have had a $50/b discount some days. That's really ugly.
So I'm looking to invest where I can get the best bang for my buck�and that's the U.S. midcontinent.
Jericho got into the STACK play in textbook fashion�it spent 2015/2016 patiently buying assets for pennies on the dollar, a rare company armed with cash in a world full of desperate sellers.
2018 was the inflection point where Jericho Oil switched from asset accumulation mode to production growth mode. The early results for Jericho's STACK wells have vastly exceeded management's own lofty expectations.
Jericho's first well was the Wardroom 13-19N-13W #1H well, which was put on production early this summer.
The Meramec well came on production at an eye-popping 950 boe/day. That was a top decile result for the entire basin and Jericho did it on their very first attempt. Today�after 230 days�the well has verified the quality of Jericho's acreage.
Jericho's second well was the Swordspear 15-23N-10W location. This well targeted a second formation within the STACK which called the Osage. The Osage is quite different than the Meramec because it is a conventional reservoir.
Conventional means lower rates of initial production, but also much lower decline rates. This is the kind of production that generates stable cash flows that most junior growth companies don't have access to.
Jericho's Swordspear well came on at an excellent production rate of 500 boe/day. Since then production from the well has remained exceptionally strong. After 30 days the well was still doing 450 boe/day.
These 2018 drilling results from Jericho really couldn't have been better. And while the results have been excellent they really aren't all that surprising.
We don't have to look any further than the $5.5 billion that Encana (ECA-NYSE/TSX) just agreed to pay for Newfield Exploration (NFX-NYSE) for proof of that.
And now for 3. . .a land value underpinning the stock that's worth 2-5x what the stock is trading for. This kind of valuation is really only relevant on a buyout, but it's the kind of valuation that lets me sleep at night.
What is that land worth today? It isn't hard to determine.
With companies now rapidly acquiring acreage all around Jericho we have a steady flow of documented arm's length data points available to do such a calculation.
What these data points show us is that acreage today is worth 4 to 10 times what Jericho paid for it. Jericho's "buy when there is blood in the streets" strategy has allowed the company to make multiples on their investment.
That's why I'm looking to increase my position in Jericho.
These insiders own a full 46% of Jericho's shares. These people all get paid one way. . .if Jericho's share price goes up over the long term.

For eons the Spoo have suffered under nearly every race in the universe. Being slaughtered by the millions, little did the spoo ranchers know they were killing highly intelligent beings.
What is most suprising is that the Spoo race is powerfully telepathic though they are only able to communicate with members of their own race. Originally created by the Vorlons as the perfect food, even they did not realize the error in their genetic tampering.
Over a thousand years the Spoo have watched and learned the technologies employed by every race and have been telepathically communicating this information to the only world where they still live free. Though it has taken them a long time, they have constructed a massive fleet and are now ready to strike back!
The first encounter with the spacefaring Spoo occured at a backwater planet near Thrakallan space. An Onri class cruiser jumped in without warning and destroyed an orbital Spoo processing center and disabled an orbital Spoo ranch. By the time a police force arrived the ranch had disappeared along with the mysterious ship. The only clue to the identity of the attacker was at a farm on the planet below where a rancher was killed by his herd of Spoo. How is still a mystery to the authorities but similar attacks at other ranches occuring simultaneously with appearances by these strange ships points to a connection between the two.
At each attack, the Spoo somehow anticipate the composition of the defense forces and each time have shown up with an force tailored against them. The appearance of the Keu'lar class heavy carrier was a suprise to the raider forces that were hired to protect a shipment of live Spoo. Overwhelmed by attacking fighters of unknown design, the raiders lost their nerve and disengaged seeing they were outmatched by what was obviously a superior force. After the attack, the raiders found no trace of the ships they had been hired to protect.
Learning from both the races they have watched and their own experiences with predators' techniques, the Spoo learned small units work best using pack tactics to overwhelm their opponents. Nearly every Spoo ship that carries fighters carries at least one pack of 6 Sow'das.
With the success of the Sow'da, the Spoo expanded the design of their basic fighter and created a more durable design. The first ship to carry these fighters, a heavy carrier named the Ko'ca, found the pack assigned to them to be invaluable and eventually formed the first elite fighter force, the Ko'ca Kow'las.
Expanding the fighter design yet again, the Spoo's heaviest fighter commonly deployed is the Teu'lytar though only the most recently built carriers are designed to accomodate them. In some sections of space it is rumored that yet a heavier fighter exists called a Thri'lytar but they are not commonly found elsewhere. | 2019-04-23T12:15:55Z | http://ravensbranch.allen.com/spoo.html |
Endurance is your ability to exert force over time. Endurance training is important because it develops your slow-twitch muscle fibers and it increases the circulation of blood to your muscles, tendons and ligaments. In other words, this kind of training is important for fully developing your muscles. In addition, it’s very functional. It’s one thing to look like you work out but it’s kind of wasted if you cannot climb a flight of stairs without resting. This includes everything from doing more than one repetition a set, to something like doing pull-ups for reps, to running sprints without dying, to running a marathon.
Still, most people confuse endurance with running a marathon or some other long-distance cardiovascular activity. While that’s an aspect, there are other approaches to training for endurance. There’s something that will appeal to just about everyone. What follows are a few different ways to train for endurance and a sample program to help you incorporate them into your routine.
Long-slow-distance (LSD) training is what everyone thinks of when they think of endurance. It involves moving at slower speeds but doing it for long periods of time. This is a great way to develop endurance and burns calories. But, it also improves your ability to move at slow speeds. So, if you want endurance this is a great way to achieve it, but if you want speed then you need to find another approach.
Interval training is a great way to build speed and increase fat burning but it’s also a great way to develop endurance. This is used with all the modes of cardiovascular exercise. It is also a lot more interesting than LSD, which can become boring quickly. With interval training you perform cardio at near maximal intensity for a very limited time (10-60 seconds), but you repeat it frequently. Usually you train at a 1:1-5 work-rest ratio. In other words for every second you train intensely you sharply cut back the intensity for one to five seconds. For example, you might cycle for 20 seconds at maximal intensity, cycle at 100 seconds at an easy pace, and repeat 10 to 20 times.
This is very similar to interval training but uses strength-training implements like kettlebells, heavy ropes, suspension training, bodyweight work and even sprinting. This is how athletes get into shape for their sports. For athletes, it is determined precisely by the length of plays and the rest periods in their sports. For most of the rest of us, the best bet is to perform intense work for 15-90 seconds, employing a 1:1-3 work-rest ratio. For example, you could perform kettlebell swings for 60 seconds followed by 60 seconds of rest, repeated 10 to 20 times.
This involves performing strength training with reduced weights, but focusing on performing more repetitions each set. This means less than 70 percent of maximum but at least 12 reps per set, normally with only 30 seconds of rest between each set. It develops endurance, burns calories (this is a faster way to train), but it also helps to develop your ligaments and tendons. | 2019-04-23T04:18:52Z | https://www.muscleandperformance.com/training-performance/build-endurance |

This Friday we will begin some maintenance work on TypePad in preparation for launching the new design and community management features we've been writing about. At 5PM PST, TypePad will be taken offline for about two hours. Then over the course of the weekend we will begin to rebuild everyone's weblog in order to ensure that everyone's published weblog is taking advantage of the latest features and stylesheet enhancements (users of advanced template sets excluded). During this period you should not encounter any performance degradation, but if you notice anything that seems amiss our TypePad support team will be there to assist and respond.
The TypePad team suggests that since this is a holiday weekend, you call it a day at 5PM, head to your local watering hole and raise a glass to webloggers everywhere. When you return to write about your wonderful night out, or the great Fourth of July weekend you had, you will be greeted with a slew of new features.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and happy hour, and we can't wait to show you what we added to TypePad.
We've become aware that all TypePad sites are currently being blocked in China, similar to the block put in place last year. We discovered the blocking in the same way that most of our TypePad members did, by hearing about it from readers in China.
Until access is restored, the only recommendations we can make for workarounds is to use any web proxies which are available for routing requests to TypePad through another site. In addition, third-party services for processing syndication feeds aren't currently being blocked, so if you're using another service to enhance your TypePad-published XML feed, it's likely the feed will still be available to audiences in China.
To be clear, the availability of TypePad-powered sites in China isn't something we have control over, but we do hope that full access is restored quickly, as it was last year.
A significant evolution in weblogging has been the relationship between blogger-created content and contextual advertising. Unobtrusive contextual ads have become a large component in weblogging as bloggers realize it's often a good way to subsidize their online passion (we're talking weblogging, here).
We've been working on a way that allows our subscribers to take advantage of the opportunities of text-based advertising. Starting today, TypePad Pro users can now easily set-up and integrate text ads directly into their weblogs, track their earnings with TypePad and use the money to pay for their subscription.
Setting up contextual advertising on your weblogs is easy. You don't need to know HTML or how to edit your templates. You have full control over the colors and configuration of your ads. If you choose the "easy setup" option, you can even have TypePad configure the ads for you. The new earnings tab makes it simple to view your earnings and track ad impressions and clicks.
The money you earn will be applied to your subscription fees. Ninety days after you join the program any money left in your account can be transferred to a PayPal account or left in your earnings account to continue paying for your TypePad subscription.
We think the ability for our subscribers to easily (you won't have to independently apply for an account) set up text ads on their weblogs is indicative in our effort to make TypePad Pro the service of choice for dedicated bloggers. Later this summer, we will add additional features that will expand TypePad Pro users' ability to earn and track revenues.
So, if you're a TypePad Pro subscriber, be sure to check out this new feature!
As anyone who has ever set-up a weblog knows, finding the right design for your weblog is virtually as important as finding your personal voice: both play an essential role in expressing your personality to your readers. While we'll leave it to you to find your voice, we have recently devoted significant energy into enhancing the experience you have designing and customizing your weblog. Whether you're a beginning user just starting to build your first weblog, or an experienced user well versed in CSS, you'll soon find it easier than ever to create a look that is uniquely you. | 2019-04-26T06:02:11Z | https://everything.typepad.com/blog/2005/06/index.html |

1. Hi! I am using Maxthon V5.0.5.3031 in my tablet Acer A20 android 4.1 but I discovered that the passport is not working properly. I mean when I logout from my account, next time I want to use it again the program is not asking the passport. It just connects. Means that guest account and private account is accessible without any problem. This is not good for the privacy.
2. It is impossible to import bookmarks. Many folders and sites are missing during the process. Maybe the sync process have some problem to retrieve bookmarks from the cloud?
3. I chose the landscape mode but when I start the program it starts always in portrait mode than landscape. There is a little instability.
I see. Maxthon Android version should have an option like "remember password" or "auto sign in next time" like PC version, so your account won't auto login with one click on it. Do you refer to this issue?
It is impossible to import bookmarks.
Login uu.me and see the folders and sites you synced to the cloud. If there are more bookmarks on your PC, please try to sync on your PC again. Or try to delete, edit some of the non-synced ones.
Will forward this to our tester to have a check.
Thank very much for advice concerning the bookmarks. I think the problem is about having a lot of bookmarks. I will try to clean a bit.
Then I'll forward this suggestion from you to our PM, I agree with you that there should an option like this!
I think the problem is about having a lot of bookmarks.
How many do you have? We test with an account with 20-30 thousand entries, the sync truly has some problem when the number reach to this.
I've confirmed this issue with our Android team, in this version 3031, Maxthon has not been designed to be adaptable for the tablet.
While for the versions in future, 3032 and above, there is no such issue. So if you are in our test group, then you may have the 3032 version now, if not, please stay tuned with our next Android launch.
I have now reduced Bookmarks (Desktop) from 4300 to 1000. It is now running 5 minutes but still not synchronized to Android Phone.
Hi Chantao, so how many bookmarks do you have on your phone?
Can you help check your bookmark on uu.me to see if all of them have been successfully uploaded to the cloud for sync?
I've considered it, the new MX5beta shared quite extraordinarily fast now, BugSir. Previously, this was only jerky. I have 3151 items on Google bookmarks. And on the desktop MX5 I have now only 3, those things that I want to think today. 3 out of 4000. What more need to have in the book than the ones you have to think about the day. There is also a memory (human head) . Google allows you to sort better with different labels and shortcuts. No, I just want to get away from the 1000-4000 upkeep in the browser.
Many things I have also on the QA and I have also created my own QA on my website http://home.wtnet.de/~bfauth/tabloyx/tabloyx.html . MX - that is: To think again.
Although, now synchronized mx5_5.0.5.3032 straight and you can see many, which I currently do not have at all. My cloud must be huge. I like to compare MX5 with the Opera before it became a Chrome (it is not synonymous lingering) sync synonymous synonymous for a long time, as long as the cloud was not synchronized, so when the sync arrives, delete individually until the Cloud finally shrank again Is.
PS, for this suggestion. Our PM gives out another reason that why Maxthon mobile version doesn't have this option. In consideration that mobile are private devices compared with PC, seldom will users lend their mobiles to others. And users can delete the account by swiping to the left in the account list. So Maxthon team didn't add this option in the first place.
It was just a question. I am the only person to use my tablet. So it is not a problem for me. I was just a little bit confused and thought that it was a bug but now I understood the raison why they did not implement it. So now I got an answer to my confusion.
@Jus On tablet I still use the good old machine MX4, since I am old-fashioned. MX5 is something for hurried users, for example on the mobile phone.
Before I was so sceptic to use MX5. I was using both MX4 and MX5 in my tablet and slowly I move only to MX5. Note: For my PC I prefer the portable versions so I can keep a copy of my user data in safe place in case that there is some bugs.
So I think you can get both versions on your tablet as I did and try to be familiar to MX5. I advice you this move because I am sure, even though I am not a developer, that the developers of Mx will continue updating more often MX5 than MX4. Which is already the case. And maybe in the future they will just stop some day to develop MX4. I think you will loose nothing to try this new version.
Phone: GT-I8190 Tablet: Cat Nova I use the mobile phone continuously, the tablet with its gingerbread (2.3) crashes forever, but I rebuild the system as quickly as others write a letter. I already had a tablet where you could use the Chromebrowser, so the version, which also has the mobile phone, but that crashed and I could never start it again. The Gingerbread is such an old dog, but it runs (something like C64 ), but it does not work with MX5. MX4 - 2837 is the version, which I can still use optimally, with all higher versions I do not go into the settings.
I just love oldtimers, and I still love MX4 desktop.
For me still the best browser. OK, I test MX5, but the new beta version on my hand often hangs up. Often I have to wait a long time for a link to open. With MX4 I can synchronize over all 3 devices. Immediately without waiting.
MX4 desktop, sort bookmarks: Open in Maxnote, it is very cumbersome. The function: MX4 delete old buttons before import New I find very nice. MX5 is fast and new, but I always come back to MX4, because it has everything I need. | 2019-04-20T05:08:58Z | http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/topic/21930-maxthon-v5053031/ |
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve total return through investment in global real estate equity securities. Global real estate securities are common stocks and other equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and similar REIT-like entities.
Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar rated this fund among 196, 196, 152 and 111 Global Real Estate funds for the overall rating and the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ending 3/31/2019, respectively. The Overall Morningstar Rating (tm) is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year Morningstar Rating (tm) metrics.
Through June 30, 2019, Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the Advisor), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.30% for the Class A shares.
** Linked benchmark consists of the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index through 9/30/07 and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index (net) thereafter.
Effective September 28, 2007, the fund changed its investment objective and strategy to invest according to a global real estate mandate. Prior to this date, the fund achieved its investment objective under a domestic real estate mandate. The performance record shown in the table for periods prior to September 28, 2007 was achieved under the fund's previous mandate.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 large-capitalization stocks that is frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index - net is an unmanaged market-capitalization-weighted total-return index, which consists of publicly traded equity REITs and listed property companies from developed markets and is net of dividend withholding taxes. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index contains all tax-qualified REITs except timber and infrastructure REITs with more than 50% of total assets in qualifying real estate assets other than mortgages secured by real property that also meet minimum size and liquidity criteria.
Because of its concentration in real estate securities, the Fund is subject to special risk considerations described in the Fund's prospectus, which is available on this website .
Maximum 4.5% sales charge; returns for other share classes will differ due to differing expense structures and sales charges. Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 1% if shares are redeemed within one year of purchase.
Risks of investing in real estate securities are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate, including falling property values due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions. Foreign securities involve special risks, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, political and economic uncertainties, and differences in accounting standards. Some international securities may represent small- and medium-sized companies, which may be more susceptible to price volatility and less liquidity than larger companies. The Fund is classified as a "non-diversified" fund under the federal securities laws because it can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified fund. However, the Fund must meet certain diversification requirements under the U.S. tax laws. No representation or warranty is made as to the efficacy of any particular strategy or fund or the actual returns that may be achieved. | 2019-04-24T06:45:58Z | https://www.cohenandsteers.com/funds/details/global-realty-shares |

CeCe Peniston was born Cecilia Veronica Peniston in Dayton, Ohio. Her storybook beginning is magical in that CeCe Peniston spent most of her formative years in Phoenix, Arizona and got her first start singing before her congregation in church. She performed in plays and musicals and participated in talent shows while learning to play the piano. The real testament of her talent was in 1987 when CeCe, still a high school student, landed a part in a local production of Bubbling Brown Sugar. From their, she would earn her diploma and continue on to the University of Phoenix to study Liberal Arts. These years would serve as a springboard for CeCe to develop her skills in writing lyrics. In 1989, CeCe was crowned Miss Black Arizona and reigned as Miss Galaxy in 1990.
In 1991, CeCe elevated as a true artist when a friend and Phoenix based record producer, Felipe “DJ Wax Dawg” Delgado, asked her to record back- up vocals for a female rapper slated to release an album on A&M Records. Soon after, Peniston showed her willingness to make her own individual mark in the business, and land her solo project commissioned by then A&M Records music executive, Manny Lehman. Peniston’s hit single known today as “Finally” was born and CeCe accomplished what all talented artists only dream of, inking a deal for her own debut album.
The 1990s, proved to be substantial for the Dayton, Ohio native. She became an international sensation and was considered to be one of the most successful dance club artists in the history of the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play Charts. Peniston was successful at scoring five major number one hits within three years. Her signature Dance hit “Finally” was #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and #2 on the UK Top 75. It became one of the biggest dance records in history to sell over 3 million copies worldwide.
Peniston set in motion a series of singles and videos, all of which had varying success. Many of her songs triggered a series of Billboard Awards nominations in several categories and gained acceptability and appeal from fans across many genres of music.
On October 17, Billboard magazine announced that Peniston was the leading nominee in the Billboard Music Awards, being nominated in four categories: three times in the dance category with “Finally” (Best New Artist, Best Female Artist and Best Director), and one in the R&B/Rap category (Best Female Artist) for her urban hit “Keep On Walkin’”.
Ultimately the song won two awards, and three of her singles released in 1992 would be listed within the Top 100 songs of the Billboard Year-End chart (at #20 with “Finally”, at #61 with “Keep On.
By the end of 1992, Peniston received several awards for her achievements in the music industry. Among the awards were Best New Artist – Dance, three ASCAP Awards and Pop Songwriter of The Year. She received another three awards as Best New Dance Artist, Best Dance Solo Artist, and for Best 12” Dance Record at the Annual Winter Music Conference, as well as, the BMI Urban Award of Achievement. The album itself was nominated on a Soul Train Music Award ’93 in the Best R&B/Soul Album – Female category. By the end of 19993, Peniston was named No. 1 Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play Artist.
A series of performances and features led her to the year 2007 where CeCe stood on the stage of Avalon, Hollywood at a five star concert for Divas of Disco: Live. Performers included Thelma Houston, Linda Clifford, A Taste of Honey, France Joli, and herself. Peniston was the main star closing the night. Her performances of “Keep On Walkin'”, the Donna Summer’s cover version of “Last Dance”, and “Finally” would be released as a digital live EP on One Media Publishing the following year.
In June 2008, Peniston released “Above Horizons”, a national PTA anthem as a tribute to the families, teachers and communities who help children reach their dreams through the Parent Teacher Association. This resulted from her role as National Ambassador of the US largest volunteer child advocacy organization. The ballad was written by Byron V. Garrett, Peniston, Erric Carrington, Essej and Marcus L. Barnum. The CD promo release, issued on National PTA Recordings, included overall four versions.
Years leading up to 2014 have been filled with ups and down for the now 45 year old Singer, Writer, and Performer. Still an artist at heart, CeCe is reinventing herself and taking on a Whole new image. She admits getting into lifestyle habits weren’t healthy for her but, she attributes a lot of what she has become as a person to being more experienced and having the unique driven qualities that will take her further than she’s ever dreamed.
She has been active in making her mark in the social media craze. Now that she is more social media savvy, she has reached new heights in her career utilizing social media as a platform. She continues to strive to give her fans more by boosting her visibility utilizing YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, with a fan base that has reached well over 100,000 people.
Considering her presence on several TV shows over the years, CeCe has been asked by a number of television producers to star in a show of her own. CeCe’s commitment to showing fans the strong and sensitive side of herself and the care she brings to every situation can soon be viewed by a more broader audience.
Her strategy in reaching a segment of the market who are not affiliated with her work is through print media particularly in the area of fitness. Starting her own shape and fitness magazine is among her top priorities in making sure people understand that CeCe is building her image from the inside, out.
Her charitable organizations, LOTS (Lifting Voices To Succeed), and being an Ambassador to the National PT A, is also one of great importance to her. Both have kept her dedicated to establishing the significance of placing the right values on youth in the early stages of their lives so that in their formative years, their milestones will be great and their struggles will be few.
This love of bringing care and goodness to others is a way of inspiring her to write lyrics to songs that really matter. The first single off of her new album is entitled “Nothing Can Stop Me Now”, a title truly fitting for the next phase of CeCe’s life. The song is already gaining momentum and heating up at radio stations in NYC, Richmond, Charlotte, Augusta, Columbus, Little Rock, and OKC. Music Choice and Sirius Radio are also among the stations playing the single.
Her upcoming travels include performances domestically and abroad with six songs that are album ready. CeCe’s team consisting of Charlotte based Rodney Shelton & Friends, along with long time engineer Bruce Irvin of SIEG, whose credited for working with Anthony Hamilton, Fantasia, J. Cole, and several others, are sure to create a dynamic album.
Watch out for CeCe Peniston, a woman who’s movin’ on from past hurts, lost love, and making a way for a better more confident CeCe. | 2019-04-21T20:54:04Z | http://cecepeniston.com/about/ |

Like everyone we were shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Anthony this afternoon. He was a proud past pupil of St Munchin’s and we were equally proud to count him among our alumni. As a student he was an immense leader. He captained our Junior Cup winning team of 1989 and our Senior Cup teams in 1991 and 1992 both of whom reached the finals.
We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Olive and his sons, to his parents Brendan and Shiela and to his family and friends. We also extend our condolences to all at Shannon, Munster and Irish rugby.
Today we have lost a legend of the game.

(Natural News) While anecdotal evidence has been heaping up for some time proving that marijuana has real potential in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), it has remained a schedule 1 substance on the federal government’s Controlled Substances list, along with heroin, meth and ecstasy. Military veterans, in particular, have been increasingly vocal in their support of cannabis for the treatment of PTSD, and now The American Legion, America’s largest veterans’ service organization, has openly endorsed its use.

“The government should be doing more to create effective graduate employment schemes that fully utilise the country’s talent”, says the Vice President of the National Union of Students (NUS), Sorana Vieru.
This statement comes in response to the revelation that most UK graduates are not employed in graduate jobs. The report, published yesterday by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) says that the number of jobs requiring a degree has been exhausted.
In all, 58.8% of graduates are now in jobs deemed to be ‘non-graduate roles’, the professional body for human resources managers said.
“With an economy in recovery the issue is too few jobs, not graduates”, said Vieru.
“The development of a professionally-led, stably funded careers information, advice and guidance service is essential to young people achieving their ambitions”.
The CIPD write that the number of graduates had now “significantly outstripped the creation of high skilled jobs, and is leading to negative consequences” including employers requiring a degree for traditionally non-graduate roles despite no change in the skill requirements.
This trend has particular affected jobs where apprenticeships have before been important, such as construction and manufacturing.
"The assumption that we will transition to a more productive, higher-value, higher-skilled economy just by increasing the conveyor belt of graduates is proven to be flawed," said Peter Cheese, chief executive of the CIPD.
The report should be a “wake-up call for employers, government and for young people”.
Jo Johnson, the Minister of State for Universities and Science was unavailable for comment.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said: “We are providing the right mix of university places and apprenticeships to ensure more people have the opportunity to advance their careers and businesses to get the skills they need to grow”. | 2019-04-26T05:40:58Z | http://www.thenationalstudent.com/News/2015-08-20/the_government_should_be_doing_more_for_graduates_says_NUS.html |

Indosat CTO John M. Thompson shares his insights into how the role of the CTO has evolved over the years – moving away from building towers and towards a focus on IT and business processes.
As customers needs have changed over time and new technologies have been introduced to the telco ecosystem, the role of the CTO has undergone some significant changes. In the past, it was all about building the infrastructure upon which the industry was built. Now, it’s about squeezing the most value out of that infrastructure.
So what kinds of solutions will CTOs need in order to drive efficiency and innovation within their business? Indosat CTO John M. Thompson shares his thoughts. | 2019-04-25T04:33:50Z | https://www.ericsson.com/en/news/2015/12/indosat-cto-on-embracing-the-transformative-power-of-it |
The late Dr. C. A. Weslager was a History Professor Emeritus of Brandywine College of Widener University and was nationally known for his 24 books dealing with the early history of the Delaware valley, including Indian, Dutch, Swedish and English occupations.
Known for his engaging writing style, Dr. Weslager was awarded the University of Delaware Medal of Distinction, and the DAR History Medal. He received two citations from the American Association of State and Local History, and was elected a Fellow of the Archaeological Society of New Jersey.
A book is like a man-clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun. | 2019-04-21T12:22:43Z | http://cedartreebooks.com/authors/6-c-a-weslager |
The Fix the Patent Laws (FTPL) coalition welcomes recent public comments made by Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies and Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi about patents and patent law in South Africa and in other developing countries.
We are also encouraged by Minister Davies’s comments on compulsory licenses. The FTPL coalition is advocating for amendments to the compulsory licensing provisions in South African law so that broader grounds and simpler procedures are in place to make the granting of compulsory licenses easier. “Compulsory licenses are another avenue of policy flexibility permitted under the TRIPS Agreement that may be used as an instrument to promote domestic production where voluntary licenses are not available on reasonable commercial terms. There are several examples around the world where compulsory licenses were issued and employed successfully to ease access to affordable medicines,” Davies said.
South Africa published a Draft National Intellectual Property Policy in September 2013. While we note the Minister’s comment that the policy is still under review, we are deeply concerned by the very long delay in the finalisation of this policy.
Earlier this month Minister Motsoaledi also made some encouraging statements on the public record. When asked on radio station Power FM about providing access to an expensive breast cancer drug, the Minister indicated that he will consider issuing a government use compulsory license. He said: “If we have to do that, we want it to be a government use license and we’ve got no problem with that”.
South Africa has never issued a compulsory license on a medicine. Countries who grant compulsory licenses typically come under great pressure from the United States – even if the granting of these licenses are in compliance with World Trade Organisation rules.
While we are encouraged by the comments made by Minister Davies and Minister Motsoaledi, we are also keenly aware that no concrete steps have been taken. South Africa’s IP policy remains stalled. The price of Herceptin remains too high for many women who need it. Our patent laws continue to place the private interests of foreign pharmaceutical companies ahead of the right to access healthcare.
We call on Minister Davies to translate the encouraging policy statements at the international forum into concrete steps of changing the national patent law system, and explain to the people of South Africa why the IP policy has stalled. We also call on him to share the timelines for the finalisation of the IP policy and subsequent law reform with the South African public.

Spotify lets you copy web links and URIs that you can paste anywhere you like: in blogs, e-mails, social networks, even word-processing documents. Right-clicking what you want to share and choosing a copy option from the pop-up menu that appears usually does the trick.
In some cases, if you know how a link is constructed, it may even be quicker to type it in directly — for example, linking to a user always takes the form http://open.spotify.com/user/username.
Want to share a track, artist, or album you’re listening to? Just right-click the name and, from the pop-up menu that appears, choose either Copy HTTP Link or Copy Spotify URI. Choosing one of these options copies the address to your computer’s clipboard, which is like writing a message onto a virtual notepad.
You can later transfer (or paste) the message to its rightful place. You press Ctrl+V (Command+V on a Mac) to paste it. For example, you could paste an HTTP address into your Facebook Status Update text box. Facebook automatically turns the address into a clickable link.
Spotify can also make any search results into a link. In previous versions of Spotify, doing this was quite simple — after conducting a search, you’d right-click the keywords that appeared at the top-right of the Spotify window to open a pop-up menu that let you copy the search link. In the current version, you don’t seem to be able to right-click these results.
For a URI-style link, type your search query after the parameter spotify: search:.
For example, a search for only happy when it rains becomes the address spotify:search:only+happy+when+it+rains for the URI-style link. For the HTTP web link, this becomes http://open.spotify.com/search/only+happy+when+it+rains.
You can also link to a specific track time. For example, you know the loud bit in Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android,” where you feel like jumping around like mad? That’s about 2 minutes 40 seconds in, and you can link right to that point in the song.
When you right-click the track name and copy the Spotify URI, you get spotify:track:0LTZD4vTsp0EN1wXatc9IR. To link to the desired track time, add the hash symbol (#) to the web address, followed by the timestamp. So, the address now becomes spotify:track:0LTZD4vTsp0EN1wXatc9IR#2:40.
You can also link to someone’s Profile page. The URI for your Profile page takes the form spotify:user:yourusername, where yourusername is the name you use to log into Spotify (for example, mine is jasminetea). The URL type is http://open.spotify.com/user/yourusername. | 2019-04-20T08:36:53Z | https://www.dummies.com/social-media/spotify/spotify-lets-you-link-to-just-about-anything/ |

Learning From the Greats — Mark Twain?
As far as I know, Mark Twain was not a runner. But he was a smart man. To be great at running you have to be disciplined. There are a lot of runners each year who have the ABILITY to be GREAT…but they don’t really reach that GREATNESS.
For those who do reach GREATNESS…typically they are annoyingly great examples.

Maximize your retirement and focus on income and master the “inside game” armed with a fresh perspective of 200 years of stock market history tied to the exact lifecycle of the average investor. The majority of investment books today deal strictly with the external strategies to help you maximize your retirement. This book teaches you how to master "the inside game" including how to hire the best advisor for you at this point in your life. Fact: Since 2000, Americans saving for retirement have seen their nest-eggs decimated by two catastrophic stock market crashes, and the biggest financial crisis in the U.S. since the Great Depression. With the global economy still in turmoil and the potential for another market crash on the near horizon, today’s generation of retirees and near-retirees can’t afford to rely on outdated, stock market-based savings and investment strategies that put them at high risk for damaging losses. The good news is that they don’t have to. For 17 years, author David J. Scranton has been teaching investors how to protect their retirement money from stock market turmoil through non-stock alternatives designed to generate reliable retirement income and provide reasonable, strategic portfolio growth. | 2019-04-26T09:43:42Z | https://fellowshipfinancial.fixedincomecounsel.com/return-on-principle/ |
Bizarro is brought to you today by Strangers in Disguises.
Regular readers of my Bizarro blog are familiar with a guy whom I call "Cliff Harris the King of Wordplay." Wordplay and puns are the easiest and most common kind of humor and cartoonists have varying degrees of tolerance for the category. Some will use any pun, no matter how predictable or lame, some, as a matter of principle, won't use any pun, no matter how fresh. For me, it's all about surprise; if a pun or a bit of wordplay surprises me and I chuckle, I'll use it. This one made me chuckle a lot when Cliff suggested it and it still does.
Now let's review what my partner, Wayno did this week while I wasn't looking.
We begin with a fun little take on an Old Testament story about knocking down the walls of an enemy city by blowing horns. I can't vouch for the veracity of every story in the OT, but I can say from my experiences living in Mexico that if "musical" noise at high volume could knock down walls, there would not be a building still standing in this country.
This is perhaps my favorite cartoon of Wayno's this week. Something about the incredibly creepy look on the tomato's face as he attempts to beckon children to play with him is hilarious. It reminds me a little of the signs one sometimes sees outside of American BBQ joints that feature cartoon pigs beckoning you to butcher and eat them. Even as a kid I thought it was a little sick.
On Wayno's weekly blog, which you should check out when you are finished here, he also shows this cartoon in black and white because it is even creepier. Don't miss Wayno's blog link at the end of this post.
As predicted, I got one complaint from someone who thought this cartoon would traumatize children. I often wonder if people like that have ever met an actual child of normal intelligence.
This is one of those gags that takes a few beats and a second look to get. As Wayno mentions on his blog today, if you're having trouble getting this one, listen for music as the clown on the right turns the crank.
A number of Wayno's friends and more devoted followers have noted that Wayno is in a band with two other dudes and that their posters often look a bit like the one in this cartoon. Most of the venues his band has played do not allow dogs on the premises even though a few of them possess a smell that dogs would not find unattractive. If you'd like to follow Wayno's band, drop by here.
One last bit of art fun: For the past week, Olive Oyl and I have been hiding out on a remote beach in Mexico. It's not my first vacation in 33 years, but it is the first one without the specter of endless cartoon deadlines hanging over my head. It's wonderful.
but I brought a bunch of watercolors so I'm still painting daily. Here's a fun one I completed a couple of days ago.
"Luchador in Bloom" watercolor, 7"x10". When I moved to Mexico, I decided I would sign any fine art that I completed here "Diego Piraro" in honor of Rivera and Kahlo and this is the first to be signed that way. I'm having an art show in Mexico in October and this one will likely be for sale. I intend to do more small, surreal luchador paintings, and I will eventually offer some of them for sale as prints, as well as the original art. Stay tuned.
Thanks for reading this far, Jazz Pickles. Have a great week and check out our various links below. Until next week, be smart, be happy, be nice, and fight ignorance and fascism. | 2019-04-20T16:44:34Z | https://www.bizarro.com/blog/2018/01/28/smell-test |
Two software giants, Oracle and Microsoft, both announced initiatives recently to help pharmaceutical companies integrate radio frequency identification (RFID) technology into existing systems.
Oracle unveiled its Oracle Sensor-Based Services, which functions as middleware to integrate RFID data and helps companies capture, manage and analyze it. It also assists companies in achieving compliance with major drug retailers like Wal-Mart and Target which have mandated certain RFID parameters.
Microsoft announced the formation of the Microsoft Radio Frequency Identification Council to aid in solving integration issues.

Super Hyperactive Ninja is a fast-paced hyper-caffeinated action-platformer in 2D, designed for those who want a real tough challenge. Recover the stolen coffee before you fall asleep! Use the power of caffeine to make your way!
I love the concept of a caffeine addicted ninja. The music is top notch too. However, that is where the compliments end. This game is bad. The developers added mechanics (intentionally) that make the game complete garbage. I'm usually generous with game reviews, but there are hardly any positive qualities in this one. Please refund my money, or give me at least a couple dollar credit towards something worthwhile.

The Trump Administration is weighing whether to impose high tariffs on vehicles and parts made in foreign countries on the grounds that those products hurt the U.S. economy and therefore are a national security threat.
But the plan is receiving push back from automakers, economists and even members of the Trump Administration itself.

Here you find how to configure and reset Aethra BG1221 Router.
Rename your Aethra BG1221 Default Wifi Name (SSID). Some Aethra routers come with default network names (with the name of the manufacturer). We recommend to use a different name because a default name unnecessarily identifies the make of your router, making it easier for attackers to break in.
It’s easy for a hacker to find out the manufacturer’s default password for your Aethra BG1221 router and then use that password to access your wireless network. So it’s wise to change the administrator password for your Aethra BG1221 router. When you’re deciding on your new password, try to pick a complex series of numbers and letters and try to avoid using a password that can be guessed easily.
MAC filtering allows you to limit access to your Aethra BG1221 router. To enable this feature, enter into your Aethra BG1221 router the 12-character MAC ID of each computer that will connect to your network. Be sure to update this information if you add or remove devices.
Aethra BG1221 router transmits your Wi-Fi network ID (the so-called SSID) to everyone. This may be changed at will by unchecking the corresponding box in the settings. Then your network will not be so easily hacked. However, as a compromise, you will have to enter the SSID every time that you connect a device to the network. This step is not mandatory.
Where are you placing the Aethra BG1221 router in the house?
You wouldn’t think about this at first, but where you place your Aethra BG1221 also has a bearing on your security.
Place the Aethra BG1221 router as close as possible to the middle of your house. The first benefit is that all the rooms in your house have the same access to the Internet. The second benefit is that you don’t want to have your wireless signal range reach too much outside your house, where it can be easily intercepted by cybercriminals.
For this reason, don’t place your Aethra BG1221 router next to a window, since there’s nothing to obstruct the signal going outside your house. | 2019-04-22T02:38:35Z | http://resetrouter.info/router/Aethra/BG1221 |

Lydia McLaughlin is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Lydia McLaughlin opens up about Doug's balls voyage party and hopes Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson meet up to rekindle their friendship.
"My heart is breaking for the innocent victims in the Las Vegas shooting last night, for the people of Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, and all the other people affected by the wildfires, floods, and earthquakes. Please do what you can to help where your heart is pulled. There are many great organizations out there that need our help! Everyone can make a difference.
If you know me, I love to throw a party! I wanted to throw Doug a party the night before his vasectomy to keep our minds occupied. We needed a distraction and a yacht party sounded like the perfect distraction. Doug’s party was a lot of fun. It was nice just being with all the woman and not have anyone fight! I was sad Vicki was sick and had to miss the evening.
I found it awkward that none of the ladies took responsibility for the Farmhouse dinner. My feelings were hurt, but I just wanted to have a drama free night so I dropped it. I was grateful I had a heart to heart moment with Meghan before everyone showed up and felt like she was a good friend in hearing my feelings and acknowledging them. I left the night telling Doug how much I appreciated her and her friendship.
Doug’s vasectomy was stressful in the moment but his recovery was relatively easy...at least for me. Haha. Of course while you are sitting in the waiting room, your mind is running wild, but it was simple and quick. He is a champ and I'm very grateful for him.
Our Easter celebration at my mom’s was very fun. My parents are still married, and have a wonderful relationship. My dad was in Canada for work so he wasn't there for the celebration. I cherish these moments where my kiddos are young and creating fun times together. My mom is the best and had all the eggs and cookies for us!
I treasure Tamra and our friendship. She has been there for me in a lot of ways and I enjoy who she is and our time together. I also love Vicki and have so many memories of laughing with her. When Tamra and I are working out, I just felt like I could see Tamra’s heart and she was finally at a place to move forward and forgive Vicki. Then Vicki calls! Life sometimes is all about timing and I have a feeling the timing for their friendship still isn't right, but we'll have to wait and see next week..." | 2019-04-24T10:22:50Z | http://www.irealhousewives.com/2017/10/lydia-mclaughlin-i-was-grateful-i-had.html |

Live Or Die: Survival is a simulator of survival in a world of post-Apocalypse. All the world's population turned into zombies as the result of spread of unknown viral infection. The main character is alone without resources. He has to survive in a temporary world full of wild animals and the walking dead, which you need to collect various materials for crafting items. With each new level a character will be able to make new weapons and equipment, and to modernize refuge where he can hide from opponents. | 2019-04-24T18:40:31Z | https://5play.ru/en/4198-live-or-die-survival.html |
Typically we have mid range to high end phones in here but this time around we are taking a different turn and taking a look a two phones which would be aimed at seniors or perhaps even younger kids/teens. We are going to take the Doro 7060 and the more advanced 8035 out for a test run and see what they have on offer and how they differ from the norm that we see today.
These devices offer a more simplistic approach to the modern phone and look interesting and it will be interesting to see how they perform and what in total they can offer their targeted market. | 2019-04-20T06:35:21Z | https://techbuzzireland.com/2019/02/13/first-look-and-unboxing-the-doro-7060-and-8035-doro7060-doro8035/ |
The Achilles 24 yacht was designed in the late 1960s by Oliver Lee, and between then and the mid 1980s 600 were made, illustrating the boat’s popularity. It was designed as a cruising variant of Lee’s Ajax racing keelboat, and it is a fast and seaworthy yacht. There is comfortable room for two, with the possibility of housing four, but this would be in very close proximity.
Two versions of the Achilles 24 yacht were built, the fin keel, which has a draught of 3’9”, and the triple-keeled version which has a shallower draught but slightly higher ballast weight. The fin-keel’s advantage is in its speed, but the triple-keeled version can dry out upright, an advantage many see as outweighing the slight discrepancy in the two versions’ top speeds.
The Achilles 24 yacht is British built made using fine quality materials. It is possible to sail the Achilles 24 single-handed, and the boats can reach high speeds downwind and will still perform steadily upwind. The boat can be compete in ocean races and is safe and responsive the only downside is the lack of interior space.
The Achilles 24’s size means it is an ideal starter boat or a first racer. Many previous Achilles 24 owners sell her to buy a boat with greater interior area, not because of her performance which has generally very positive reviews.
A very fair description of the yachts sailing ability and accommodation. They are relatively cheap to maintain and hold their (relatively low) value well. | 2019-04-19T06:59:01Z | https://www.go-sail.co.uk/achilles-24-yacht-sailboat/ |
My name is Sa’iyda. In keeping with the Muslim tradition, my parents didn’t name me immediately after my birth. They took time to get to know me and then gave me a name they loved and thought would fit me as I grew and moved through the world. Taking their time meant they were really giving me a name they were proud of.
But, having a unique name as a kid is the worst — all you want to do is fit in. But there’s no way to fit in when you so clearly stand out. So you may silently wish that you could swap names with someone, anyone who has a name more appealing to the world at large.
And then one day, something will spark a change in you, one that makes you realize you don’t want to blend in. In fact, you love your unique name.
When I was in junior high, I began to secretly wish my name was Melanie. Mel B. was my favorite Spice Girl, and her name was just the right amount of “normal.” As a tween, fitting in becomes even more important. Having things in common isn’t enough; it’s the stuff you don’t have in common that matters. I was not super popular with my peers, and I thought if I had a regular name at least I would have something that helped me blend in. And in a class with several girls each named Katie and Jackie, I definitely wanted to blend in with my peers.
When I heard the story of the young girl who was mocked by a Southwest Airline employee because of her unique name, I was gutted. While I was never outright mocked for my first name, I know what it feels like to not have people understand your name. Just because a handful of people have never heard of it doesn’t mean it’s something worth being mocked for. She’s only five, and I understand a lot of what her life is going to look like for the next ten years or so.
Little kids with unique names can’t walk into a gift shop and find a magnet with their name on it. My mom had to go to a catalogue to special order me pencils with my name on them so I could feel like the other kids. The little girl with the unique name will go through years of substitute teachers pausing at her name while calling attendance. Actually, she’ll be expecting the pause, followed by the “I don’t know how to say this…” and just raise her hand before they go any further. She will grow tired of having people asking her how to pronounce or spell her name. If she hasn’t already, she may ask her mom to give her a new name.
For some, that may not seem like a big deal. But for a 15-year-girl who was anything but cool, it meant the world to me. Growing up with a unique name, you hear words like, “interesting” and “unique” a lot, but rarely “cool.” Hearing someone call my name “cool” greatly changed the way I felt about it. That day was the day I stopped looking at my name as a total nuisance. I still dealt with the same annoyances, but I felt a lot prouder of my name.
It’s been quite a few years since that day when I began to own my name. But every so often I’m reminded of why having that moment of acceptance is important. Last year at a talk for Glamour, actress Uzo Aduba explained to an audience of young girls, the moment she owned her own name. After asking her mother if she could be called Zoe, her mother reminded her of all the men with “unique” names and how over time society learned to say Michelangelo. So they could certainly learned to say Uzoamaka.
My parents are very proud of the name they’ve given me. Being a parent now, I understand what you go through when picking out the name for a tiny human. Of course, a name is not the only indicator that your child will grow to be an individual, but there’s a certain appreciation of self that I think kids who grew up with a unique name have more than kids who grew up with the same name as many of their peers.
I may never find my name on a t-shirt that I didn’t have made just for me, but I know that most people will never have met someone else with my name. My unique name helps me stand out and I’ve finally come into myself enough to be comfortable in that spotlight. If the world can learn to say Sophocles, they can certainly learn to say Sa’iyda.

I’m already starting to book interviews for the Marine Corps League Toys for Tots campaign. The collection barrels will be placed around town before Thanksgiving, and our local chapter of the Marine Corps League, headed by Dave Voors will no doubt again spend hours volunteering to collect the toys and build the bicycles before Christmas eve. Our community is so generous and I hope they will have enough toys donated this year to give every child on their list a joyous Christmas.
The “Christmas Yam” is a funny commercial that ran for Toys for Tots many years past. I think it is still a classic. | 2019-04-20T06:32:09Z | https://knco.com/toys-for-tots-is-right-around-the-corner/ |

Connecticut boosts numerous wedding venues that provide couples with gorgeous outdoor views. A Waveny House Wedding is among those venues. The mansion was built in the 1900s in the style of the Tudors and has become a popular site for weddings. With a Waveny House Wedding, couples may take advantage of the splendor of the house as well as the extensive grounds surrounding the mansion. The house is set in the center of 250 acres of lush green parks that are maintained by the New Canaan Recreation Department and give guests a view to remember. In addition to the parks, flagstone walkways take those who attend to the mansion’s Walled Garden, a spot often used for small ceremonies. This venue is especially beautiful in the spring, which is when the bride and groom pictured were wed. I enjoy taking portraits of couples that allow them to take some quiet moments to reflect and simply be with one another on their special day. This photograph finds the bride and groom alone in the vast outdoor space provided by the parks. The night sky, the rolling mountains in the background, and the majesty of the tree they stand below makes it seem as though they are the only two humans for miles. To add to this illusion, I used an off-camera light to highlight the newlyweds. The white of the bride’s dress and the pale coloring of the groom’s suit make the pair glow even more brightly in darkness. | 2019-04-26T07:48:57Z | https://www.andrewhendersonweddings.com/waveny-house-wedding |

In Mikhail v. Lauritsen, the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court addressed when municipalities may extinguish a nonconforming use. The court specifically considered the test for determining when a nonconforming use has been more than partially destroyed in making this evaluation.
Any nonconforming use or structure existing at the time of the passage of an ordinance may be continued upon the lot or in the structure so occupied and any such structure may be restored or repaired in the event of partial destruction thereof.
The terms “partial destruction” and “total destruction” are not defined. Under existing precedent in New Jersey, the determination of the level of destruction of a nonconforming structure must be made on a case-by-case basis. In Motley v. Seaside Park Zoning Bd., 430 N.J. Super. 132 (App. Div. 2013), the Appellate Division held that the test of whether a nonconforming use or structure may be restored or repaired is “whether there has been some quantity of destruction that surpasses mere partial destruction.” Id. at 144.
Plaintiff Magdi Mikhail owns Block 150, Lot 2.01, located at 11-15 Main Street in the Borough of South River, New Jersey. Plaintiff’s parcel contained a two-story and a three-story mixed-use building. The three-story building contained a boarding house, which was a pre-existing, nonconforming use. Plaintiff applied for a use variance proposing to create a single first floor for both buildings, with the upper floors of the three-story building continuing to serve as a boarding house and the bottom floor to contain a pizzeria, the latter having been opposed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment in 2010.
The Borough of South River Zoning Board of Adjustment (the Board) granted the use variance pursuant to conditions necessary to perfect the variance for the pizza restaurant. However, flooding from Superstorm Sandy and a subsequent fire less than two weeks later caused serious damage to the property. Thereafter, Defendant Glenn P.W. Lauritsen, acting in his capacity as the Borough’s Zoning and Construction Officer, issued a notice of unsafe structure. Lauritsen further determined that the upper floors of the three-story building were unsalvageable. In response, Plaintiff hired Luis R. Perez, a professional engineer, to evaluate the structural integrity of the building. Perez issued a letter report certifying the building could be repaired. A subsequent report from the Borough engineer determined that both the second and third floors would not be salvaged.
Plaintiff then filed suit, challenging the Board’s decision as unsupported by credible evidence and arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable and without legal or factual basis. The trial court upheld the Board’s decision. It found that because the upper two floors sustained most of the damage caused by the fire, and because the second and third floors of Building 11 operated entirely independently of the use of the first floor, there was more than partial destruction. Accordingly, the pre-existing nonconforming use was extinguished.
The Appellate Division upheld trial court’s decision. “Substantial evidence in the record supports the finding that the second and third floors were more than partially destroyed as a result of the fire and that the Board’s decision was not arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable,” the court concluded.
In reaching its decision, the appeals court employed different reasoning than the trial court. The panel also rejected the plaintiffs’ argument that the statute permits a nonconforming use to continue if the structure in which it is located is only partially destroyed. According to the Appellate Division, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-68 does not distinguish between a nonconforming use and a nonconforming structure.
Under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-68, the upper levels of Building 11 are considered independent “structures” separate and apart from Building 11 as a whole. Because distinct floors are considered separate structures, an analysis considering the destruction of only the second and third floors is appropriate.
Applying this analysis to the facts of the case, the court noted that the structural damage to the second and third floors of the building was significant. “In addition to other damage, Building 11 suffered the loss of its entire roof, damage to its bricks and blocks, complete destruction of the third floor ceiling joists and studs, and partial loss of the floor of the third floor,” the court highlighted. “The second floor was also severely damaged. All that remained was the four exterior walls, and some of the ceiling joists, flooring, interior wall studs and windows, but no wall coverings, floor coverings, HVAC, plumbing, sewer, or electric,” it added.
The Appellate Division’s decision provides valuable guidance in how to determine whether a structure has been more than partially destroyed for the purposes of extinguishing a pre-existing, nonconforming use. When conducting this analysis for multi-use buildings, municipalities should focus on each statutorily distinct “structure” rather than the whole building’s condition.

Lauritsenor the legal issues involved, we encourage you to contact a member of Scarinci & Hollenbeck’s Government Law Group. | 2019-04-20T17:02:01Z | https://scarincilawyer.com/nj-appeals-court-addresses-loss-of-pre-existing-nonconforming-structures/ |

AS9120 Store > AS9120 Standards > What is AS9120?
What is AS9120 and who is it for?
What are the benefits of AS9120?
How do we implement AS9120?
The AS9120 Standard is the requirements for a Quality Management System based on AS9100 which adds 100+ additional requirements that are specific to distributors who carry aircraft components like, fasteners, electronics, gaskets, etc. It helps ensure that they handle the materials properly and track the part from OEM to customer. AS9120 was developed for pass-through distributors of aerospace items and addresses chain of custody, traceability, control and availability of records.
Companies that procure parts, materials and assemblies and sells these products to a customer in the aviation, space and defense industries. This includes organizations that procure products and split them into smaller quantities.
This standard is not intended for organizations that rework or repair products. Organizations that perform work that affect or could affect product characteristics or conformity should use AS9100 or another general quality management system standard.
SAE manages this standard which is regulated by the IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group).
What are the Benefits of AS 9120B?
An opportunity for improved product quality, traceability and reduced risk.
How do we implement AS9120 rev B?
Perform a Gap Analysis to determine what your existing QMS needs.
For a more detailed explanation, our AS9120 Steps to Certification will still apply since the standards are so similar. | 2019-04-26T13:51:30Z | https://as9120store.com/aerospace-standards-explained/what-is-as9120/ |

Considering a career as an ultrasound technician is a great idea for those wanting a career that pays good, allows you to learn, advance, and help others. Pursuing an education through the ultrasound technician schools in New Jersey provides a great opportunity for those looking to succeed in the medical field.
So you’re probably wondering about how you get started working as an ultrasound technician. Well, first you’ll have to complete a degree or certificate program through one of the ultrasound technician schools in New Jersey. At an entry level the field will require a two year degree in order to qualify for most employment opportunities. In addition, employers also look for candidates who have obtained a sonographer certification through the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (or ARDMS). Obtaining these qualifications will be definitely possible after receiving the right training from an ultrasound technician school in your area. The sonography schools in New Jersey are qualified and experienced in helping students achieve their career goals and entering the field in diagnostic medical sonography.
Deciding on a school and a degree program will probably come down to several factors that are important to you. There are many schools offering training in medical sonography however finding one that meets your needs will require research on the schools in your area. When evaluating programs you’ll do best by contacting several ultrasound technician schools to request information about their programs. This can simply involve visiting their website to request that they send information or visiting the schools to meet with the staff and look around the facilities. However you choose to research the schools you’ll want to look at least a few to make comparisons.
The types of program options will vary from school to school which is something to consider when looking at ultrasound technician schools in New Jersey. Most commonly, students who enter the field as an ultrasound technician will have obtained an associate’s degree from an accredited ultrasound program. An associate’s degree will generally take about two years to complete. This is a thorough training program that really caters to students who have no experience working in the healthcare field. Colleges will often have students complete a series of pre requisite courses before entering the ultrasound technician training. The courses making up the prerequisites often include studies such as math, language skills, sciences, and some medical fundamentals. These are generally taken during the first year and are needed before much of the ultrasound training begins.
The ultrasound training will be very thorough and will include classroom and lab studies in addition to plenty of hands on training working in clinical settings. Throughout the sonography program students will learn about how the ultrasound procedure can be utilized on different areas of the body. While ultrasound is commonly known for its use in pregnancy examinations the technology is also very useful in detecting problems occurring in other areas of the body. A lot of training will be focused on the scanning procedures used examine or detect medical concerns affecting the body in addition to pregnancy. While in the program students will also gain plenty of practice working in medical hospitals and clinics under the supervision of trained technicians. This is a very important aspect of the program because the job is very hands on. Through this training students will have the opportunity to learn on the job and apply the classroom concepts in the field.
But what if you already have an allied health degree or medical experience? Well, you will be glad to know that there are accelerated programs that cater to those who already have experience in allied health. These are typically offered as certificate or diploma programs. Since an existing medical degree is often a prerequisite many of the traditional college subjects are skipped in favor of the practical skills needed for the job. These programs will provide extensive clinical training and classroom education on the ultrasound techniques and equipment. The ultrasound technician schools in New Jersey offer these programs which are perfect for current professionals looking to add to their medical skill sets.
Another thing to look for when choosing a program is whether the school holds an accreditation by the CAAHEP. Accreditation is very important for the student as it can have a direct impact on a student’s employment prospects after completing a program. The CAAHEP or Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs is responsible for evaluating and accrediting educational programs in sonography. Making sure that the school you choose is CAAHEP accredited is necessary. Attending an accredited program will provide eligibility to take the ARDMS certification after the program is finished. An accredited program is also looked upon better by employers because they understand that an accredited program ensures that the education will meet the training standards desired by the industry. Attending an unaccredited program is definitely risky because it will delay the ability to become certified and it may not be possible to find a job afterwards.
The CAAHEP website is very comprehensive at explaining the importance of an accredited program. It is definitely something to keep in mind during your research.
The job outlook for ultrasound technicians is very good at this point as they are one of the most sought after and well paid specialists in the allied health professions. The job has grown steadily over the years and the demand for technicians is only expected to increase over the next decade. There are several factors that will contribute to the increased need for ultrasound technicians that include an aging population requiring more diagnostic procedures, the cost effectiveness of ultrasound, safety for patients and staff, as well as advances in the technology. Ultrasound is becoming more popular in many facilities as a replacement for procedures that at one time required invasive or radiation to diagnose the condition.
Also, the salary of an ultrasound technician in New Jersey is among the highest nationally and well above the national average according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In New Jersey qualified ultrasound technicians earn on average $67,220 or around $32 per hour. It’s fair to say that ultrasound technicians in New Jersey are doing pretty well.
Pursuing a career in ultrasound is a great idea and will ensure a good future. Getting the right training to succeed is very important to those who want to get started in the profession. Below are some additional resources to use in your research. Also be sure to read our other ultrasound technician schools articles on this website. Good luck and enjoy a great career as an ultrasound technician! | 2019-04-19T15:12:33Z | http://ultrasoundcertification.net/ultrasound-technician-schools-in-new-jersey/ |

One day my stepbrother, Henry Isaac, and I hauled several sacks of flour into the woods where he had dug a hole. The flour had been milled at the local windmill from our own wheat. We deposited it there at noontime, when almost everyone was taking a midday nap. (The days were long, and work did not stop until sundown, around ten o'clock at night.) I helped Henry unload the sacks and hide them in the hole. We shored up the sides and bottom with boards to keep moisture out. This hiding place was only to be temporary, for up to a week, perhaps. It had been rumored that inspectors were coming through our area. This was a necessary part of surviving.
During our last year or so there, another call came to the farmers to deliver all their grain to the government granaries. It was called the "Sweep the Granaries" project. It was presented as a voluntary, patriotic duty. Farmers were urged to rally the whole village together, sweep their granaries, and deliver all of it to the city.
This effort was to be "rewarded not only with payment in money, but with recognition by the government for patriotism.
I was one of those who hauled a load of wheat on a sleigh, pulled by a team of horses. I am not sure if the people had swept all of the granaries, but that was the impression conveyed by the long convoy of sleighs, with the red Communist banner flying overhead.
When we got to the county seat, we stopped. A bureaucrat speaker got up on top of a load of wheat and made a rousing speech about the patriotism of our people in Petrovka Village. This spirit of patriotism, he said, would not go unrewarded. He promised that we would be supplied with pure seed grain and new machinery. Of course, none of it ever happened.
Over the years, much wheat—thousands of tons—was allowed to spoil. After such massive collections, the city granaries became full. The rest was simply dumped in piles out in the open, where much of it rotted in the snow and rain. This was a notable tribute to Soviet mismanagement.
There was also a special taxation, a "Capitalist" tax. People who were a little better off than others were called "Kulak" and had to pay this special tax. The word "kulak" means "fist" and carries the connotation of those who keep others under their thumbs: exploiters. Father was required to pay it.
Our neighbor, Henry Janzen, a minister and one of the poorer farmers, was also charged with this tax. He didn't have enough to pay it on his own, so the officials told him to go and see his "brothers" in the congregation. "They will help you."
The poor man had to look for help. He didn't ask anyone, but just told us of his plight. Our people saw to it that he was kept out of prison.
At one point my stepfather's civil rights were revoked because he was listed as a "Kulak," a Capitalist. Since we had more work than we could do all by ourselves, we had hired help. For instance, we hired a young man, Henry Schmidt, who lived with us for several years. We also hired a young lady named Anna Friesen, who also came to stay with us. I will be mentioning these two people again a little later.
They were very happy to work for us. Neither they nor anyone else complained to the authorities that we had mistreated them. But, in the eyes of the Soviet system, just the fact that a person hired someone else meant that one was exploiting the other.
stepbrother, and his family moved there and took up new land as a homestead. They were only a few miles from the Amur River, which forms the border between Russia and China.
During the winter of 1928, John Isaak returned to central Siberia as a settlement representative to buy cattle. He bought a lot of cattle, but while he was there, he also informed the family that he had been into China several times. There was an opportunity to cross the border there and escape into China, and from there we might have a chance to go on to America.
At the time, I knew nothing about it, but after he left our family began making arrangements to sell off the farm—the house, all the livestock, and farm equipment—and migrate to the Amur Region. As an outspoken young man of fifteen who didn't know all the facts, I objected, "No! Why should we go? We have our own house, livestock, and friends, and everything we need is here. Why should we go to a new place and have to start over again?"
My parents gave me no good answers at that moment. Then, one evening, while I was bedding down the horses for the night, my Mother came into the barn.
She said, "Son, I want to tell you something, but you must not tell this to anyone—not to your closest friends, to absolutely no other person. If you do, it could mean that your father and I would be sent to prison or maybe even executed. You would be sent to a Communist orphan home. So, you see, it is very important that you tell no one."
Of course I promised to keep silent! Then she looked around to make sure there were no other listening ears present. She told me, "We do not want to go to the Amur Region to live. We are going there because it is the beginning of our route to America." She finally said firmly, "Now, I don't want you to be rebellious."
I said, "America? Great! Let's go tomorrow!"
If it had been possible, I would have started to America at that moment.
Preparations proceeded quietly. Finally, the house and land were sold. Presumably, we owned the land, but it would be only a short time until the government would confiscate it. It had already been declared that all land belonged to "The People" to be administered by the government, and we were just waiting for the time when they would actively appropriate it. This government takeover was a part of the Soviet's first Five-Year-Plan, which was about to go into effect. We only had about 400 acres, and two-thirds of that had already been seized and given to people who previously had no land. Our parents never complained about this, though, because the new owners didn't have any equipment to farm it, so they simply leased it back to us. This way, they benefited from the lease, and we continued farming it pretty much the same as we always had.
But now, we were going to sell what still belonged to us. The buyer understood well that he was actually only buying the house, and that he could make use of the land until the government claimed it—which indeed happened a few years later. All land was taken into collective farms.
Our preparations were quite adventurous to me, once I knew our goal. There were occasions when people questioned me quite pointedly about what we were planning to do. Some were quite suspicious and would not accept that we were just planning a move to the Amur region. They felt—just as I had before I knew what the scheme was—that it really didn't make sense to go.
One day our neighbor, Mr. Klassen, came to our home. Our parents had gone somewhere and I had just returned from taking some flyers announcing our auction sale to a Russian village. I was getting ready to do my chores and he came into my room. He said, "So, John, you are really going to go to America, huh?"
I looked blankly at him and said, "No. We're going to the Amur."
He continued to question and apply pressure. Finally, he flung a challenge at me and said, "I'll bet you that I get to America before you do, only I will go the legal way and you are going illegally!"
I know now, but didn't realize then, that this was a very clever attack. He knew I was usually ready to accept a challenge. I might have said, "I'll bet you we'll get there first!" But I didn't.
Looking back, I believe the hand of the Lord was on me at that moment. I simply said, "Well, Mr. Klassen, I have to do my chores."
I left him standing there, and I was able to keep our secret. Bu this same man harassed me later. One day he told the village official that some boys had pulled a prank on him. This was a common thing, as there were groups of boys who sometimes played tricks on people. Mr. Klassen's sleigh had been picked up and hung in a tree out of reach. He told me that he was going to make sure that I would not leave when my family moved. The boys were called into the village office (which was located in our house) and questioned. Fortunately, I had not been with the boys when the deed was done, and I was cleared.
Dad had already told me not to worry. If I had been falsely implicated and told to stay, he would have quietly put me on a train and sent me off to my stepbrother's home before the rest of the family was to leave. "Don't worry," he said, "You won't stay here when we go."
Even though there were several different attacks that were attempts to get one of us to reveal our plans, none of us ever let on where we were going, other than to the Amur. Actually, we did go through the principal city of the area, Blagoweschensk, on our way to America, but did not stay there.
On the day of our auction, a rumor circulated that some Communist spies were present. Therefore, Dad kept a low profile and stayed in the house, away from the auction while most of our earthly possessions were sold to the highest bidder.
Finally, on February 23, 1929, we boarded a train in Slavgorod, in the Altai Region of Central Siberia, and left for the Amur Region in eastern Siberia. On March 7, 1929, we crossed the border into Manchuria, China. | 2019-04-25T19:57:32Z | http://www.siberiaheritage.com/chapter-5:-the-blessings-of-communism/ |

I'm relaxed but why did you delete the pictures of my post ? It was just captures of the web site mentionning "free bot". Is this some kind of censorship ?
This is genius. Winter update comes out 10 December, but no "free version". Two upgrades released, but no free version. Now again, you say Don't worry the new version is coming in a few days... Does everyone not realize what else comes out in a few days?... That is right, the Clash of Clans Spring update is scheduled to come out in March; just in time for these meat-heads to roll into a new development cycle. Well done ClashFarmer, you have successfully created a development cycle that will NEVER allow for the release of the free version.

Vous n'avez même pas le courage s'assumer ce changement de stratégie et vous laissez les gens dans l'attente en les prenant pour des imbéciles et en continuant de mentir sur le caractère GRATUIT de ce bot...c'est minable. Et pour couronner le tout vous supprimez les post qui ne vous conviennent pas, un bel exemple de liberté d'expression !
CF kept stating that “we don’t want to push out the free version until all the bugs are squashed. We don’t want the free users to spam the forum saying “”bot don’t work”””...... the flaw on that statement is, all versions have bugs, what is the different between this version than all previous versions？why did CF release the free version so quickly before and not now?

"You can always use the updated FREE version, which doesn't require a license key and has everything you need for efficient botting "
But is is false. I cant use free version.
WOW!!! Why all the hostility? Folks looking to "cheat" on an IAP game and not wanting to pay a lousy $6/month to do so? "Free" is what caused the demise of somebot--a really good bot with all the buttons and whistles but people just availed themselves of the free portion and the developers could not longer maintain the necessary resources to keep it going.
Will CF go the same way?

Lol... are you saying that by not releasing the free version, CF will save other bots out there? free bot ruin the market, because if there aren’t any free bot out there, people will choose the most advanced paid bot? As weird as it sounds... that kinda make sense...lol... so.. is that a “dont release the free bot” stand, correct? | 2019-04-23T05:57:09Z | https://www.clashfarmer.com/forum/archive/index.php?thread-5731-4.html |

Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd have been teasing us for a while. Lana Del Rey was featured on The Weeknd's "Stargirl Interlude" off of Starboy, but like the title suggests, it was just an interlude. But it was a gorgeous interlude. It was so gorgeous, it had us wanting more, and now we finally have it. After Lana Del Rey's very Hollywood teaser for her upcoming album Lust For Life, she's now out with the title track, and it features a whole lot of Weeknd. Just like good old school Lana, the song is sensual. "Take off all your clothes," she sings as she tells the story of dancing around the Hollywood sign with a man as her "very cool" boyfriend comes back from out of town. Her typical lush vocals soar in and out, mixing well with the soft production, and The Weeknd only makes it more seductive. | 2019-04-22T08:43:10Z | https://www.baeblemusic.com/musicblog/4-19-2017/finally,-lana-del-rey-and-the-weeknd-team-up-for-lust-for-life.html |
Federal Minister for Information left many a religious elements flabbergasted with his May 3 comments on Madrassas. Never has any politician spoken so clearly on this purportedly ‘sensitive’ issue against the religious extremists promoting organized hatred, ignorance and culture of ‘unlearned hordes’ in Pakistan.
The Minister’s pluck caused him public criticism by the religious ‘scholars’, decrees of excommunication from Islam and of blasphemy, accusations of being Ahmadi (yes, being Ahmadi is that bad!), public expressions of hatred through prominently placed banners etc., and a notice to explain himself to the Senate. No wonder he had to pronounce on May 24 that madrassas had no link with terrorism and militancy. On both instances the Minister used generalizations. The first one was met with strong criticism (even from his own party members), but the latter was accepted by all and sundry without even a proviso. Everyone lives happily ever since.
Just when the madrassa elite was harassing Pervez Rasheed and his own party leaders and ministers had left him alone to deal with it, Islamabad Police was hunting the people who were putting up highly inflammatory banners and posters full of hatred and incitement to violence against Pervez Rasheed. Thanks to the Interior Minister, the police quite strongly followed the case. There were few who were arrested. A few others posed resistance to the police party, who then chased them to a madrassa in F-6/4. That’s where even the Police – the key civilian law enforcing machinery – thought their jurisdiction ended. The culprits are still at large, in the protection of that madrassa.
Cases have been registered in two police stations of Islamabad, Thana Aabpara and Thana Shalimar under Sections 500 and 501 of the Pakistan Penal Code that deal with defamation, printing of defamatory material and statements conducing to public mischief. As per the media reports, it was the Islamabad chapter of Jamiat Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jamaat (JASWJ) that had put up the banners. When the media contacted ASWJ, the banned organization that is so far operating openly with impunity, and asked about its links to JASWJ, the former denied any kind of ties. There might not be any possible way to prove the links even if they exist. Even if proven, there is nothing that the state would choose to do.
There is no one in the government that could do anything about it. Mainly because no institution of the state is ready to trust the Prime Minister or the Chief of Army Staff who have repeatedly said in different statements post Peshawar School Attack that they are absolutely serious about crushing all kinds of terrorism and that there were no more any good or bad terrorists. Every institution wants to pass the buck to the other for one simple reason. There have been certain institutions that have created and nurtured these monsters. Why would the weaker civilian institutions like Police, trust the creators? If A has created the problem, why is B expected to clean the mess with little muscle and almost non-existent power to deal with the possible blowback?
Pakistan Rangers (Sindh), a paramilitary force, has been conducting a ‘Targeted Operation’ in Karachi since a few months. Despite this, high profile targeted killings as well as brutal terrorist attacks are still happening (the Sabeen Mehmud murder and Safoora Bus Attack are cases in point). Not only that, the way a banned organization like ASWJ is openly functioning under plain sight of the ‘Targeted Operators’ not only in Karachi but in rest of the country as well is appalling. If ASWJ would not be covered by the operation, the Federal Interior Ministry would be justified to choose the status quo in Islamabad viz a viz ASWJ operations. No wonder we are witnessing ASWJ rallies everywhere including Islamabad and Quetta recently.
This inaction, indecisiveness and wooliness around the militancy issue have been fairly old phenomenon in the Islamic Republic. It has mainly emanated from our policy of using our strategic location for rent seeking from world powers, positioning ourselves in geopolitics of the region in certain way and defining our national interest with the lens of state power rather than people’s development. Started in early 1970s – as opposed to just the Afghan Jihad in the 1980s as is perceived popularly – this policy has damaged us in more ways than we can fathom.
Gone are the days when madrassas were the only breeding grounds for extremism. Today, they remain a fountainhead of religious violent extremism, but the roots have spread in practically every societal institution. The state made a symbiotic partnership with political entities like Jamaat e Islami etc. This strategy did a great deal in popularizing certain narrative that proved to be the precursor of militant Jihadism. It had many strands like anti-West, anti-everything-non-Pakistan-and-non-Muslim, etc. With the passage of time these strands kept increasing in number. Anti-politician, anti-liberal forces, against anti-establishment resistance forces, so on and so forth.
All these strands, although emanating from the madrassas initially, were successfully brought to the popular consciousness through infiltration in academia, intelligentsia, students unions, workers’ unions, media, civil and military bureaucracy, industrialist and agricultural elite, politicians, what not. It was mainly the media, the academia, the intelligentsia and the students unions through which a lot of literature was produced and a strong popular narrative was built around all these strands of radicalism.
For example, be it Malala Yousafzai or Mukhtaran Mai, be it non-Muslim victims of the misuse of Blasphemy Laws or forced conversions of Hindu and Christian girls, be it the issue of good versus bad Taliban or Indo-Pak peace, be it civil military relations or ties with the Western countries especially USA, you would see a strong radical narrative about each of these. Any dissenting voice would be humiliated, discredited and vilified, mostly, by or with patronage of military establishment. On each of these issues, the usual proxies of the establishment would speak in symphony against the dissenters.
The practice of killing the dissent through libel and slander, supported and encouraged by the state institutions has brought public mental health to a point where any dissent or resistance or even a slightest non-conformity is considered to be treason, anti-Pakistanism or anti-Islamism. Public aggression is incited against dissenters using social media and talking heads on the TV. That has been happening quite aggressively after Peshawar School Attack, which has a strong bearing on why nothing could be done on National Action Plan.
This is also one reason why a Federal Minister was left alone to deal with the rage of madrassa elite amidst fatwas to declare him Ahmadi and murtad. This is one reason why no political government can ever take action against militancy-linked madrassas or proscribed organisations. This is one reason amongst many contributing factors why Saad Aziz was produced. This is also one reason why we will keep producing more Saads. | 2019-04-23T11:55:56Z | https://nation.com.pk/E-Paper/Lahore/2015-05-26/page-6/detail-5 |
I am curious to find out the cost of Dental Implants?
Comments for Cost of Dental Implants?
From the surgical implant stage to the restoring it could cost anywhere from 1500 to about 3000 dollars and up depending upon your doctor and the type of implants he is using.
Dental implants can be a costly procedure. An entire team of professionals is often needed to deliver a long-lasting smile. Implant procedures demand a great deal of the doctor's and staff's time and effort.
The prosthodontist intensely studies your health profile, and then develops a plan to meet your unique needs. Additionally, surgical staff and the laboratory perform several services to produce the desired result.
The materials used to construct implant prosthodontics are also very expensive. Bone grafting, if needed, is additionally costly.
While a basic implant is typically $1,250. - $3,000., depending on your circumstances additional costs for things such as in the case of a posterior mandible, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants quickly escalate to as much as $15,000 to $30,000. for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw. | 2019-04-22T17:23:14Z | http://www.dental-implants-guide.com/cost-of-dental-implants.html |

The Bible is completely clear that any form of abuse is unacceptable. Abuse can happen in many forms, physical, emotional and sexual are common expressions of abuse. God hates the idea of anyone being abused. Violence is a characteristic of the unfaithful. No person deserves to be abused. God loves you and desires for you to be cherished and taken care of. No mistake, no shortcoming, no misunderstanding should ever be met with physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. We are not to admire violent persons or pattern our lives after them. Proverbs 3:31 says "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways."
Victims of abuse often feel guilty as if they have done something to provoke their abuser or that they somehow deserve the abuse they receive. Abusers are often skillful at making their victims feel responsible. But no one deserves to be abused by another, and abusers are responsible for their own choices and actions. If you are an abuser STOP IT!.
God charges us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to care for our bodies: our emotions, our mind and our physical self. Our safety and the safety of our children is our responsibility. Your body’s are the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God. You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. We honor God with how we treat our body, so if your body, your emotions, mind and physical self are being damaged, we honor God by finding a safe place to be.
You can overcome anything in life! Trust God, lean on Him and He will get you through it. You are not all alone. | 2019-04-20T01:19:53Z | http://www.youthforamerica.org/idevo/2015/8/27/abuse |
Every occasion with a theme deserves a corresponding delicious treat. This unicorn party snack mix recipe is a wonderful success for any type of magical gathering. It’s sweet, with a little bit of salty crunch, and looks fantastic in pretty paper cups.
This snack mix is fairly easy to make and can be prepared in advance. Get the kiddos involved as they love to help–especially with the drizzling. If the cashews are an issue, you can omit or replace them with different nuts, peanuts, or seeds like shelled sunflower seeds.
The sprinkles used here are the same as what we used in the magical unicorn bark. We found them at Meijer, but there are plenty of other options available if you can’t find them at your local grocer.
This recipe uses Celebration by Frey Candy Pearls, but in all honesty, I think the Celebration by Frey Sixlets would add better flavor to the mix.
If you’re running short on time, just the candy-coated Bugles as unicorn horns make a fun and yummy snack.
It's sweet, colorful, and just the magical treat you need to make a unicorn party complete!
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread cereal, pretzels, and nuts on the cookie sheets in a single layer.
Place the lavender, hot pink, and turquoise candy melts into separate resealable sandwich bags and do NOT seal shut.
Microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power.
Knead gently with fingers and continue to heat in 30-second intervals, at 50% power, until completely melted.
Seal the bags and snip the tips. Drizzle onto baking sheet with cereal, pretzels, and nuts. Set aside to set.
Place Bugles into a large mixing bowl.
Heat white candy melts in a separate bowl at 50% power for 60 seconds. Stir well and continue to heat in 20-second increments at 50% power until completely melted.
Pour onto Bugles and mix well to evenly coat.
Spread onto baking sheet and sprinkle with sprinkles. Let set to harden.
Break apart the mixture of cereal, pretzels, and cashews.
Mix together unicorn horns and cereal mixture. Stir in marshmallows and serve in decorative paper cups.
Finding the right paper cups makes a big difference. You can even wrap filled cups with clear plastic wrap and give this unicorn party snack mix as gifts for showers, weddings, and parties. The striped cups are cute, but I’m obsessed with these rainbow unicorn froyo cups with this adorable ribbon to use as parting gifts.
Speaking of froyo, this snack mix makes a great topping. Consider adding it to your next sundae bar!
Share this recipe with all your magical friends!
This might just be the most magical snack mix ever! So beautiful!
What a fun idea for parties or just unicorn lovers in general!
Love the colors and combination of items in the snack mix. Perfect for any type of party!
I haven’t had Bugles in years! A cute addition to this colorful snack!
I would totally eat this up in a heartbeat! It looks so festive and full of so many of my favorite things!
It would have never occurred to me to make a recipe out of Chex cereal, how cool!
Awesomely magical. Perfect party snack. | 2019-04-24T01:07:04Z | https://amagicalmess.com/unicorn-party-snack-mix-recipe/ |

A positive intervention is an evidence-based, intentional act or series of actions (behavioral strategy) meant to increase (away from zero) that which causes or constitutes well-being and flourishing in non-clinical populations.
I will explicate the elements of positive interventions in the order they appear in the aforementioned definition.
The term “positive” in positive interventions defines the contextual and methodical framework that positive psychology operates on. On the contextual level, the target group of positive interventions are “normal people”, meaning humans from a non-clinical population (Seligman & Csíkszentmihályi, 2000). This represents a crucial difference to most therapeutic interventions that are designed to improve the condition of people suffering from a psychological disorder such as a depressive episode (Gable & Haidt, 2005). At the same time is has to be noticed that, in spite of this, there are studies that investigate the effectiveness of positive interventions for clinical populations (Duckworth, Steen, & Seligman, 2005). On the methodological level, positive interventions try to utilize positive phenomena of human cognition and emotion, such as pleasant feelings and memories, mindfulness, or the intentional use of character strengths and virtues (Peterson, 2006). Once again, this can be contrasted to interventions in clinical psychology, where “non-positive” methods such as the prescription of anti-depressants are custom. It is important to note that positive interventions (and positive psychology in general) do not prescribe a specific positive finite or ideal state of being. Rather, they can be characterized by a spirit that embraces constructive meliorism (Pawelski, 2005), the belief that humans can improve their condition no matter what. As such, positive psychology seeks to help people to reach their full potential, their individual best-possible life.
Positive interventions are based on sound scientific research, ideally double-blind experiments using adequate control groups, as well as longitudinal evaluation studies (Seligman, 2002; Sin & Lyubomirsky, 2009). This represents an important modification compared to adjacent disciplines, such as humanistic psychology. While both disciplines share a lot of common ground pertaining their phenomena of interest, values, and goals, humanistic psychologists tend(ed) to be somewhat dismissive of large-scale empirical research (Seligman & Csíkszentmihályi, 2000). It is not unreasonable to say that methods akin to positive interventions were by and large confined to the large body of self-help literature up to the onset of the third century. Through positive psychology, they have finally entered the academic discourse for good.
Positive interventions seek to foster human agency, autonomy, and self-efficacy (Ryan, Huta, & Deci, 2008). The “active ingredient” of each intervention should reside within the individual, not in some external sphere. Therefore, a certain level of willpower, self-regulation and effort are needed for carrying out a positive intervention (Lyubomirsky & Layous, 2014). This postulate can once again be contrasted to the prescription of anti-depressants, where the desired effect is created by something that is external to the individual and cannot be influenced directly. This is a crucial aspect since many researchers try to find ways to deliver positive intervention in a “self-help” style, e.g., as an online assignment (Ouweneel, Le Blanc, & Schaufeli, 2013). Hence, it is paramount that positive interventions are relatively easy to carry out and rely on whatever resources an individual already disposes of before learning how to perform the intervention.
This aspect once again alludes to the contextual domain of positive psychology. Interventions in clinical psychology are designed to help people reach a neutral (non-clinical) condition when they are perceived to be displaying a psychopathology. In short: their task is to relieve suffering (Seligman & Csíkszentmihályi, 2000). In a simple mathematical analogy, their aim is to get people from some negative number to (around) zero. On the contrary, positive interventions are meant to increase human well-being in the positive direction, away from zero. Yet, while this mathematical analogy is easy to grasp, it is also misleading to a certain extent. There is reason to believe that positive states (mental health, flourishing) and negative states (mental illness, suffering) are somewhat independent spheres of the human condition. It is not uncommon to experience elements of flourishing even when severely ill; and at the same time, it is also possible to display a lack of subjective well-being in spite of the absence of any psychopathology (Westerhof & Keyes, 2010). Therefore, when drawing on mathematical analogies, at the end of the day in may be more appropriate to assign a point in a Cartesian system to each person, rather than a point on a standalone continuum.
Finally, positive interventions promote dimensions of human well-being, be it the psychological well-being model proposed by Ryff and Keyes (1995), Diener´s (2000) subjective well-being construct, or Seligman´s (2011) PERMA framework (or, for that matter, any adjacent concept). As such, the possible desired outcomes of positive interventions are manifold. They include positive emotions and cognitions such as happiness, satisfaction with life, autonomy and relatedness, experiences that foster engagement, e.g., the discovery and use of one´s character strengths, boosting the quality of one´s relationships, finding meaning and purpose in life, or higher levels of achievement. In addition, physical well-being should explicitly be included, since regular physical exercise is a viable approach to achieve psychological well-being as well (Fox, 1999).
While researchers in positive psychology have early on developed and empirically tested positive interventions (Seligman et al., 2005), the question of why and how these interventions actually work has only recently entered the academic discourse (Schueller, 2010). A current article by Lyubomirsky and Layous (2014) presents a preliminary model with regard to this question: The authors posit that encouraging people to complete positive interventions leads them to have higher levels of positive emotions, think more positive thoughts, and display more positive behaviors, which in turn results in increased well-being and improvement in life domains such as work, relationships, and health. While there seems to be a lot of truth to this explanation, it remains somewhat generic.
In this section of the article, I will therefore explicate my own outline of the mechanics behind positive interventions. This includes thinking about the underlying mechanisms as well as reporting some empirical findings on the question in what contexts and for which target groups they work best. To start, I´d like to repeat the definition of positive interventions given in the previous section: A positive intervention is an evidence-based, intentional act or series of actions (a behavioral strategy) meant to increase (away from zero) that which causes or constitutes well-being and flourishing in non-clinical populations. The most important part of this definition for the upcoming section is: “intentional act”. These words represent two of the general principles that underlie the functioning of all positive interventions: a) focusing our attention on a specific positive matter of interest; and b) getting us to actively change our behavior along the line of self-defined goals.
The importance of the first component – focusing our attention – was already proposed by the “father of American psychology”, William James (1890/1923, p. 424): “The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention, over and over again, is the very root of judgment, character, and will […] (1890/1923, p. 424). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that intentionally focusing our attention on the good things in life will result in an increased level of positive emotion. This relationship holds true for several variations of meditation practice, such as mindfulness-based meditation (Brown & Ryan, 2003) and loving-kindness meditation (Fredrickson, Cohn, Coffey, Pek, & Finkel, 2008).
The beneficial effect of the second component – taking deliberate action – is equally backed by extant research. There is abundant evidence for the proposition that building one´s feeling of agency and being in control is accompanied by feelings of autonomy, which over time leads to an increase in well-being (Ryan, Huta, & Deci, 2008). Implicitly embedded in the notion of carrying out an intentional act is the connotation that there has to be some kind of goal that one strives to attain. Goal-setting theory (Locke, 1996) posits that having clear and attainable goals, and receiving goal-related feedback frequently, raises the likelihood of actually reaching our goals – which in turn leads to higher levels of self-efficacy (Maddux, 2009) – which then raises the likelihood of achieving one´s goals in the future. And attaining one´s personal goals, at the end of the day, yields a sense of accomplishment, purpose, and meaning in life (Brunstein, 1993; Sheldon & Elliot, 1999; Emmons, 2003).
In summary, the mechanics that underlie the efficacy of positive interventions can be integrated as follows: completing positive interventions leads humans to have higher levels of positive emotions, think more positive thoughts, and display more positive behaviors via focusing their attention on the good things in life, enabling them to attain meaningful goals, thereby strengthening their feeling of agency and self-efficacy, which nurtures their sense of achievement and purpose in life.

Are you ready for the 2. Wave of Positive Psychology?
I guess there ´s a heck of a lot of people out there who haven’t even heard about the first wave of Positive Psychology – and now, there´s supposed to be a second one? Yes, sir!
For quite some time now, Positive Psychology has been criticized for focusing way too much on the positive side(s) of life, while (by and large) ignoring negative phenomena – which, after all, is why Positive Psychology was founded in the first place. I feel this criticism is unwarranted pertaining to the academic/research side of things. E.g., research on Post-Traumatic Growth has always been readily embraced. But I guess in terms of marketing PP to the public, there´s more than a bit truth to this allegation.
Second Wave Positive Psychology is underpinned by four dialectical principles: appraisal; co-valence; complementarity; and evolution.
Appraisal means that we cannot appraise something as either positive or negative without taking context into account.
Co-valence reflects the idea that many situations and experiences comprise positive and negative elements.
Complementarity is about the idea of Ying and Yang, that positive and negative are co-creating sides of the same coin.
Evolution draws on Hegel’s notion of thesis-antithesis-synthesis.
In this case, traditional psychology can be seen as the thesis, Positive Psychology is the anti-thesis, and SWPP could evolve into a synthesis, where the truths of both thesis and antithesis are preserved, while their flaws are overcome.
Just in case you´ll find that article stimulating: it is based on an academic paper which can be found on Research Gate: Second Wave Positive Psychology: Exploring the Positive–Negative Dialectics of Wellbeing.
Another synopsis of SWPP is proposed by Paul T. P. Wong in this article: What Is Second Wave Positive Psychology and Why is it necessary?
A while ago, I posted a list of 10 blogs on Positive Psychology and adjacent I frequently visit. Back then, I already said it was hard to limit the selection to only 10 sites. Therefore, here´s another curated list of cool Positive Psychology blogs. Share and enjoy!
Eric Barker writes Barking Up The Wrong Tree. He brings you science-based answers and expert insight on how to be awesome at life. His content has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Wired Magazine and Time Magazine.
The Greater Good Science Center at Berkeley (co-founded by Professor Dacher Keltner) “studies the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being, and teaches skills that foster a thriving, resilient, and compassionate society”. They frequently publish articles by their own staff as well as guest articles by eminent researchers.
The Center for Positive Organizations (staff includes Professors Jane Dutton, Kim Cameron, Robert Quinn, and Gretchen Spreitzer) based at the Ross School of Business (University of Michigan) seeks to “inspire and enable leaders to build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people. We are a catalyst for the creation and growth of positive organizations.” They regularly publish articles by the aforementioned researchers and scholars in Positive Organizational Scholarship.
Paula Davis-Laack is a fellow Penn MAPP alum and writes a regular column called Pressure Proof about “strategies and stories for busy, complicated lives” on Psychology Today.
In their own words, The Pursuit of Happiness is a “group of psychologists, philosophers, educators, and web professionals dedicated to the advancement of scientific knowledge about happiness and depression prevention. We provide science-based information on life skills and habits needed to enhance well-being, build resilience against depression and anxiety, and pursue a meaningful life.” Professor Todd Kashdan is one of the contributors.
Happiness by Design is a column on Psychology Today by London School of Economics´ Professor Paul Dolan. It doesn’t update very often by the posts are cool to read.
Action for Happiness is a movement of people committed to building a happier and more caring society. We want to see a fundamentally different way of life – where people care less about what they can get just for themselves and more about the happiness of others. Sir Richard Layard is among the founders. They publish compelling pieces by top-tier Positive Psychology researchers and experts in their news section.
To my mind, Michael Tomoff is one of the few people who write stuff worth reading on Positive Psychology in German. His blog is called Was wäre wenn? (What if?).
The last one is a sort of honorable mention. The late Professor Christopher Peterson published an immensely insightful and oftentimes very funny Positive Psychology blog via Psychology Today called The Good Life. Even though it has not been updated ever since 2012 (for obvious reasons), I revisit it frequently for inspiration. | 2019-04-21T09:17:13Z | https://mappalicious.com/tag/todd-kashdan/ |
