This year, the American Institute of Architects held its first annual Constructed Realities Awards. The premise, in short, was to recognize unique categories that might be overshadowed by the AIA’s bigger awards in the springtime.
For these awards, the AIA recognized Pro Bono Design, Architectural Structures with a Small Budget (under $500K), Architectural Detail … and something they decided warranted its own category: Restaurant Design.
A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being one of several jurors on the restaurant panel, and as someone who has written about these kind of awards in the past, it was pretty fascinating to listen to some of the city’s top architects discuss the designs of many of the city’s top new restaurants. Oftentimes, they see things from a different perspective than the diner, the writer and the restaurateur.
In the end, a trio of restaurant winners was chosen, and you can tour all three spaces in the gallery above.
Wexler’s, designed by Aidlin Darling Design, earned a Citation Award.
Bar Agricole, also by Aidlin Darling Design, earned the second-highest tier, the Merit Award.
And Farina, designed by Studio Terpeluk, took top honors with the Honor Award.

What Are These ‘Unusual’ Red Streaks on Saturn’s Moon?
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has returned images of several inexplicable red streaks that are painted across Saturn's icy moon Tethys. Astronomers have no hard leads on what may have caused the streaks, which are described as being "among the most unusual color features on Saturn's moons".
Some have speculated that the streaks could be the result of ice with chemical impurities; they could also be indicative of smaller features (such as fractures) that are not more clearly visible from so far away.
"The red arcs must be geologically young because they cut across older features like impact craters, but we don't know their age in years." said Cassini imaging specialist Paul Helfenstein. "If the stain is only a thin, colored veneer on the icy soil, exposure to the space environment at Tethys' surface might erase them on relatively short time scales."
The image above is a composite of several images taken by clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters that enhance the color of the streaks, which are not as visible to the human eye.
Cassini will follow up with higher resolution images of the streaks later this year.
Experts believe that Saturn's rings were formed by a comet colliding with a moon. | 2019-04-19T15:05:56Z | http://www.discovery.com/dscovrd/space/what-are-these-unusual-red-streaks-on-saturns-moon/ |

The brother of Scottish aid worker David Haines, who was murdered by so-called Islamic State terrorists, says he does not "hate" his killers. He came into school recently and spoke to Yr 10, 11 and the Sixth Form about why he feels it is so important to travel the world, spreading a message of unity, tolerance and understanding.
Mike explained that his brother David Haines was a British aid worker. David had been working for the international relief agency, Acted, when in March 2013 he was ambushed and kidnapped on the Turkish border and held captive in Syria for 18 months. In September 2014 a video of his murder was released.
The assembly moved all of us and we wold like to thank Mike for so bravely sharing his story.
Thank you to just some of the students who felt compelled to write a few words about the presentation.
Priscilla - I found the assembly inspiring. At first I felt a sense of sadness when hearing his story about his brother but when he gave his message it made me realise that sometimes bad experiences can lead to good outcomes. I'm glad he is spreading the message about not hating others. It is important to remember that, especially with the these days.
Diana - This particular assembly resonated with me as my brother has recently joined the metropolitan police. In light of what happened in Westminster recently, I'm constantly worried for him when a terrorist attack is shown on the news. The man in the assembly went through what I fear and managed to put his pain into something productive. I will always remember that assembly as that man is now someone who I can look up to. Despite his explanation though, I will never understand how he managed to overcome such pain. I can only hope that if I am ever in a situation, then I will be able to rise above it. Just like the man. If I could speak to him again I would say thank you and the world needs more people like him.
Hamdi - I found the assembly very sad at first but it soon turned into an emotional, educational and eye opening experience. I think that the assembly educated the confused people in our school, which I think was very useful as the recent events that have taken place in central London have caused a lot of panic and worry.
Rosie - Michael’s mind set after the tragic event is truly inspiring it really made me think about the cohesion I take for granted in everyday life, may not be so in other parts of the UK and around the World. I have since looked into his organisation and it has been really interesting to watch some of his talks about standing up against hate. | 2019-04-25T05:57:20Z | https://www.thenorwoodschool.org/news/?pid=3&nid=1&storyid=138 |
While most marketers are focused on net new acquisitions, a relatively forgotten area is Installed Base Marketing. Installed base marketing is about looking at the customer journey beyond closing the deal and engaging with customers who are currently using the company’s product.
Existing customers are more likely to engage with you and purchase from you. In fact, studies show that customers are 4 – 5 times more likely to convert than new prospects. They can also be your best advocates. Therefore, installed base marketing is essential to maximize the opportunities presented by the existing customer base.
However, there is a marketing disconnect today: only 17% of marketing budget is spent on marketing to customers.
There are two approaches which Verticurl adopts for installed base marketing: Customer Journey Based and Customer Value Based.
Engage the customer based on their engagement status with the organization. A net new customer has different needs as compared to a customer who has engaged with you for a long period of time. Being able to engage them based on their requirements is an obvious approach to a more satisfied customer.
We then develop respective marketing campaigns at each touchpoint, such as onboarding and customer satisfaction campaigns which are ten delivered via marketing automation platforms.
Treating a customer based on their present/potential value is another way of segmenting the customer base. This approach allows you to provide your customers a very focused engagement plan, maximizing the value you can provide to your customer base. There are various models that can be used for this segmentation approach, some of the more common ones being RFM Modelling and LTV based Modelling.
Verticurl develops different segmentation models/approaches based on availability of data to determine sub-segments of the customer base and define campaign types for each sub-segment. For each sub-segment, marketing campaigns are designed and executed with different objectives such as increasing the share of wallet.
We would be happy to help you with Installed Base Marketing. Ready to talk? | 2019-04-18T22:49:26Z | https://www.verticurl.com/community/marketing-technology/driving-revenue-pipeline-through-installed-base-marketing |
On Feb. 8, the sound of LT students singing the fight song will be heard from blocks away. The All-school Assembly is one of the best days of the year for students at Lyons Township High School. Students from South Campus get bused over to North Campus to enjoy performances from peers as well as outside performers. This year the event will be beach themed.
“It’s the only opportunity during the school year where all 4,000 students are under one roof so it’s the one time that we are a single school, not a school with two campuses,” Director of Student Activities Peter Geddeis said.
The All-school is a day of watching peers perform, play games and compete against each other. Other than one outside act, the event is completely student based.
“We try to get as many sports and clubs involved as possible so that no one feels excluded,” Student Council president Pilar Valdes said.
The assembly tries to include sports from seasons other than winter which helps to promote school wide inclusion.
“There has been talk about having the baseball team and softball team this year and that’s not typically something you see at a winter spirit assembly,” Geddeis said.
When planning this year’s assembly the student council members have been trying to include a variety of clubs and sports so that the same clubs don’t perform every year.
“This year we plan on including the language clubs and the LT weirdos,” Valdes ‘19 said.
day of the assembly. The goal of the assembly is to promote unity and inclusion.
“At its core, the All-school assembly is really about celebrating LT,” Geddeis said.
The event tends to be somewhat similar from year to year,but this years assembly may be a little different because it’s assistant principal Kris Costopoulos’ last year. She was the founder of the All-school assembly so student council wants to try and pay homage to her.
Last year, the assembly was canceled due to security concerns.
“I’m confident that the security measures that the school has undertaken this year in particular will create a secure environment,” Geddeis said.
Positive about the new security measures and the activities they have planned, Geddeis and the Student Council plan to have an exciting 18th annual All School assembly. | 2019-04-26T02:43:02Z | https://www.lionnewspaper.com/news/2019/01/25/all-school-assembly-bounces-back/ |

Established in 1946, Volys Star was amongst the first poultry producers in Belgium.
It’s believe in the future of the industry and it’s inherent drive to add value to a ‘chicken’, made it to become a pioneer in the value added poultry business.
It continuously applied all new technology that became available and was amongst the first to cut up birds instead of selling them as a whole bird.
Changing it’s business from a slaughterhouse to a meat processing facility was a tremendous shift.
At that time nobody was deboning chicken, the birds were too small anyway.
So we decided to grow turkeys, bigger birds, and first in Europe we pioneered slaughtering and deboning them. The necessary equipment was developed together with our suppliers.
All this to realize our ambition : add value to poultry.
In its continuous drive to add value, Volys Star started to experiment with poultry based deli products (cold cuts) – a breakthrough innovation while those products at that time were only made from pork.
Volys Star succeeded to convert it’s business model : moving from a chicken slaughterhouse to a premium quality poultry meat processor adding value. | 2019-04-21T00:16:43Z | https://halalvolys.com/innovation |

Nothing prevents you from reaching your personal best more than the lack of pursuit for personal growth. You can’t plan a life that isn’t moving forward. A lot of times we plan only the now; what’s coming at us. This is not enough and begets the reason we should plan. We need to spend time every day in the pursuit of bettering ourselves, stepping off the cyclical patterns that slowly destroy our lives and begin to start changing ourselves for the better.
But guess what? God doesn’t work that way. God wants it all and won’t work on our behalf unless we trust and believe Him, releasing all control.
So what does this mean in real world terms? It means we don’t worry. We don’t stress. We don’t spend endless hours finding out how we’re going to solve all of our problems.
We’re going to let go and let God.
Begin to believe that God is who He says He is. Spend an hour everyday understanding who you are in Christ and all that is yours in those scriptures. It’s a pursuit that must not be neglected–it’s life or death.
Declare that today you will let go and let God and share in the comments what you are using your faith for and how God has moved in your life! | 2019-04-18T15:25:28Z | https://plannerperfect.com/2017/04/let-go-and-let-god/ |

New Zealand's rate of cash sales does not indicate any increasing presence of foreign buyers in the market, Property IQ says.
The firm of property analysts said it wanted to tackle the question of how many buyers were from overseas, in response to anecdotal information about people paying over the odds, particularly for Auckland property.
Between 2004 and 2007, the number of sales reached about 9000 a monthand up to 18% of those were done without a mortgage.
The downturn between 2008 and 2011 resulted in a drop to 3500 to 5000 sales a month and cash sales increased to a quarter of transactions. First-home buyers and investors were largely absent from the market.
From 2011, the number of sales picked up again and cash sales have been up to 20% of the market over the past year – similar to the previous boom.
Auckland has significantly fewer cash sales, of about 12% to 13% of turnover, compared to up to 23% in the rest of New Zealand. Since 2011, the percentage of cash buyers has dropped from about 15% to 12%.
Property IQ said that suggested there were not more cashed-up foreign investors in the market than usual.
Spokesman Jonno Ingerson said cash sales were most likely on mid-to-low value homes. He said there were occasions where many different types of buyer bid more than others thought was reasonable, to secure a home.
A lot of Christchurch sales are cash because they are made by people with EQC payouts. | 2019-04-24T00:06:04Z | https://www.nzpif.org.nz/news/view/56026 |
To deprive the Queen of her crown.
To levy war against the Queen.
To “move or stir” any foreigner to invade the United Kingdom or any other country belonging to the Queen.
Yet while most radical journalists during the period masked their republican sentiments by criticising Old Corruption – indeed, even the Chartists did not advocate republicanism – one brave journalist was unafraid of sounding his opinions in the public arena: George William MacArthur Reynolds (1814-1879).
Reynolds was the nineteenth century’s most popular author, outselling even Dickens, and his novel The Mysteries of London (1844-45) was the biggest-selling novel of the Victorian era. His output of novels was certainly impressive, for he authored over thirty, and was editor of three newspapers throughout his life.
Surprisingly, Reynolds did not adopt the legend of Robin Hood in any major way, in spite of the fact that radicals prior to him had done so, such as Joseph Ritson (1782-1803), Thomas Miller (1807-1874), and even his friend Pierce Egan the Younger (1814-1880). On 10 January 1869, however, Reynolds’ Newspaper addressed the subject of ‘The Robbery of the Land by the Aristocracy’.
Among these robbers and freebooters, Robin Hood is the most noteworthy. Although he was called a robber, Reynolds notes, he was gallant and brave, ever ready to help those who suffered under the oppression of Norman tyranny.
In many ways this is a topical post: the Duke of Westminster has recently passed away, and there have been ongoing debates in the press about whether the new Duke will pay inheritance tax upon the land and estates that now pass to him.Incidentally, the Duke of Westminster is descended from Gilbert le Grosveneur, who came over with William in the conquest annd was awarded land in and around London. It is impossible to know what Reynolds would have written about a situation like that, but he would have been questioning just by what right aristocrats continue to hold the land that they do.

These are so cute and really easy to make. I use them for salt and pepper bowls. There are 2 ways of making these.
For thin spoons: Roll out the paper clay in a bit of talcum powder until about 3mm thick.
Find a template for spoons and use a sharp knife to cut them out.
Paint your spoons using watercolors.
For round spoons: Take a piece of clay and roll it out to a thin sausage shape.
Use your thumb to press down on 1 end, creating a spoon shape. | 2019-04-24T18:24:24Z | http://www.sweetpaulmagazine.com/crafts/paper-clay-spoons |

Educating future leaders about sustainability is key to solving the increasingly interconnected challenges facing humanity. The practice of teaching for sustainability is known as sustainability education (SE), it is also called education for sustainability (EfS), and the United Nations calls it education for sustainable development (ESD). More generally we need to appreciate the importance of education as it relates to sustainable development. Education is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and it is a fundamental right. Investing in a quality education for all is essential to realize the other SDGs and targets. It is also the most powerful tool we have for sustainable development.
Here is a UN Secretary General’s Global Education First Initiative video that shows the power of education in acting as a catalyst for development.
In its simplest essence, sustainability is any activity that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. It is focused on the triple bottom line in business (people, planet and profits). The idea is to benefit the greater good by learning how to foster vigorous communities, a healthy environment, and robust profitability.
There are valid concerns that business schools are not doing enough to emphasize sustainability. With this in mind Andrew Hoffman, Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan and Education Director of the Graham Sustainability Institute has suggested, "modern business school must fundamentally alter its teaching and research in order to respond to the environmental and social challenges of the twenty-first century."
Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation's (CGMF) work in sustainability education is focused on sustainability science, a discipline that the foundation integrates into all of its grant making and long-term planning. This dynamic science-based approach addresses environmental and social problems. It does this by bringing together scholarship and practice, global and local perspectives, and a diverse range of social sciences.
Jaimie Cloud is a pioneer in the field of Education for Sustainability (EfS). She is passionate about inspiring young people to think about the world, their relationship to it, and their ability to influence it in an entirely new way. In this video, she shares new ideas to create conditions for life-long Education for Sustainability.
For those interested in more information go to the Journal of Sustainability Education (JSE), a forum for academics and practitioners to share, critique, and promote research, practices, and initiatives that foster the integration of economic, ecological, and social-cultural dimensions of sustainability within formal and non-formal educational contexts. | 2019-04-25T14:37:11Z | http://www.thegreenmarketoracle.com/2016/11/sustainability-education-teaching-for.html |

Thanks to software and hardware improvements, cameras on a smartphone can take great quality photos today. Now, most of you might be thinking that the only way you can get great photos out of a smartphone is by getting the most expensive ones out there such as the iPhone Xs or the Galaxy Note 9. Not really. In fact, even a cheap smartphone that costs below Php15,000 can get you great photos too — you just need a few TIPS for that.
AI has been the main selling point of smartphone cameras for quite a while now. One AI feature that’s literally (almost) available to all smartphones — portrait mode. What it basically does is to keep the subject in focus while the background in a blur — also known as bokeh. By putting all the attention to the subject, it creates an impression on the audience as if the photo was taken on a professional camera.
What’s that? Your phone doesn’t come with portrait mode? No problem. While artificial bokeh makes it easier to isolate the subject, getting that natural bokeh is far better to the eyes and creates a perfect subject isolation. But the thing here is that you really need to get very close to the subject given the limitations of a smartphone camera. The best thing to do here is to put something close to the camera lens. It doesn’t have to be something, it could be anything. By doing this, you’re creating separation between the foreground and the background or depth-of-field as enthusiasts call it.
Whether you like it or not, editing photos generate great photos. By editing, we don’t mean putting a filter provided by Instagram. If you want your photos to look like most people out there, be our guest, but if you want to stand out, spend some time playing around with the exposure, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. In fact, you don’t have to tinker each of the settings. Just adjust a few things that will make your photo pop or unique.
When your photo seems to be lacking in detail or crispness, adjust the sharpness or structure setting but don’t go overboard or it’ll look like a cheap printed photo. When it’s too bright, say, for example, the face of your subject gets blown out by the light, turn down the brightness and highlights. And when you want the colors to pop, increase the contrast bit by bit until you’re satisfied. As a general rule, never go overboard when adjusting these settings. In photo editing, subtle changes generate big changes.
Perhaps, the easiest tip that you’ll get in taking better photos with your cheap smartphone is light. You have to understand the limitation of smartphone cameras and sometimes, you just need to adapt. In this case, you want to make use of good light. And we don’t mean artificial light, we mean natural light. Exposing your subject under natural light makes it easier for the camera to capture every single detail. It makes your photos crisper in detail and editing easier since colors are accurate.
Make the effort to choose your shots with the natural light present. Just try to shoot an object under artificial light and natural light — see the difference.
With these 3 easy tips in smartphone photography, your photos will look far better than how you originally shoot with your phone. And the best part, you don’t have to spend Php50,000. | 2019-04-18T17:12:52Z | https://www.manilashaker.com/3-easy-ways-to-get-better-photos-out-of-your-cheap-smartphone/ |

Are Your Printers Safe from Hackers?
Built-in security features and best practices keep school printers safe.
With security concerns surrounding so many technologies, it is easy to overlook printers as a potential source of data breaches. Yet a November 2015 survey by market research and analysis firm IDC found that more than half of those surveyed had experienced at least one printer-related breach in the previous year. What’s more, the survey suggests that many organizations could do a better job of keeping printer security on their radar.
Networked printers can be a gateway into a school district’s entire system. Printers at schools receive, process, store and print extensive sensitive data, from intellectual property to personally identifiable information. Accordingly, they present a golden opportunity for attackers to commit data breaches, achieve financial gain or bring about reputational damage.
Certain threats to confidentiality are strictly local; for example, someone stealing an unattended printout or gaining access to a printer’s storage media to harvest sensitive data. But some threats can be remote as well.
Many attackers use malware, printer attack tools or other methods to compromise printers through network connections. Once a hacker succeeds, that breach can be leveraged for many purposes. The most common aims are gaining unauthorized access to any information being sent to that printer, and using the printer as a starting point to infiltrate other district systems.
Given these risks, schools should take stock of printer-related concerns and develop a realistic plan to address them.
New models offer a suite of security features that school districts can deploy for quick, inexpensive security gains.
Automatic updates: It’s important that printers use the latest updates for their basic input/output system, firmware, operating systems and all other installed software. This prevents vulnerabilities and may add new features to boost security.
BIOS protection: Some printers check their BIOS every time they boot; if they detect unauthorized changes, they can replace the BIOS with a known good copy. This eradicates malware from the BIOS automatically.
Authentication: Authenticating individuals whenever they want to use a printer is unfeasible, but it is strongly recommended for printer administrators, who can be authenticated through smart cards, biometrics, PINs or other means. No matter the method schools use, it’s critically important to change all default passwords or PINs so attackers can’t readily guess them.
Storage sanitizing: Some printers are able to sanitize storage on demand to prevent it from recovering sensitive information. This is a key step to perform before allowing a printer to leave the school. Even if a printer uses storage encryption, sanitizing is still recommended because flaws in the storage encryption mechanisms might be detected in the future.
Although many older printers lack the most current security features, they have comparatively fewer vulnerabilities, which can offset this deficiency. For example, a particularly old printer might not have any storage. Because there is so much variability among printer models in terms of their vulnerabilities, the severity of these weaknesses, and how they can be addressed, it may be necessary to separately assess the risk for each printer model.
IT administrators usually can’t add technical security controls to older printers, so they may need to choose the best alternative course of action: add manual procedures to reduce risks to an acceptable level; replace older printers; or accept the risks and change nothing. Given the potential cost of a data breach stemming from a compromised printer and the labor involved in manually securing a fleet of printers, replacing older machines is often the most cost-effective strategy.
School districts want to ensure students, faculty, staff and guests can utilize their printing services. Increasingly, this means allowing printing from any type of device and any network location. Some schools allow students to print from mobile devices on cellular networks and from cloud-based services and applications. Unfortunately, this degree of availability can make printers readily accessible to remote attackers, greatly increasing the risk of compromise and misuse.
Most printer vendors don’t intend for their products to be publicly accessible. Whenever possible, printers should be behind firewalls that prevent or restrict direct access. If a school wants a printer to truly be available to anyone, then it’s important to develop plans for dealing with any potential consequences that may arise.
For example, in March 2016, a white supremacist used a simple search to find publicly accessible printers, including a dozen at various universities, and remotely printed anti-Semitic materials at those institutions. Such incidents could happen at any time, so it’s prudent, at a minimum, to enable auditing capabilities that indicate the sender’s IP address for any such materials.
Risks related to networked printers can be easy to overlook, but they are also among the easiest loopholes to plug, given the proper tools and procedures. | 2019-04-22T13:32:38Z | https://edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/2017/03/are-your-printers-safe-hackers |
USAA was looking for a financial technology firm to tell them they were dead wrong.
They found that candid firm in the summer of 2017, and the resulting partnership has generated one of the first technologies the large financial services provider has rolled out that allows its members, active military personnel, veterans and their families, to interact with USAA on Amazon’s home devices that feature the digital assistant Alexa. USAA wanted to solve a problem: “How do we create a scalable conversation engine that can talk about something as sensitive as personal finances?” says Darrius Jones, assistant vice president for enterprise innovation at USAA, in describing what led them to their partner, Clinc.
Working together, Clinc, an Ann Arbor, Michigan based fintech that has grabbed the attention of national outlets like CNNMoney, and USAA developed a “scalable conversation engine,” as Jones describes it, that goes far beyond a binary question-answer interaction between a human and a “talking silo.” The two companies formally announced their partnership to create a conversational artificial intelligence solution in August 2017. USAA was the first major national bank to partner with Clinc, which had raised nearly $8 million in multiple funding rounds before the announcement.
“From the beginning, our teams worked together to create a very different experience for delivering content that is complex … and trending,” Jones says.
Those interactions propelled the work USAA and Clinc have done to be named in March as a finalist for Bank Director’s FinXTech Innovative Solution of the Year, an award presented at the FinXTech Annual Summit, held this year in Phoenix.
The truth is, several banks have worked with fintechs or internally developed some version of conversation capabilities with in-home devices like the Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod or Google Home. But most of these interactions are basic, limited to rudimentary questions about account balances and other simple, mostly binary, inquiries. But $155 billion asset USAA uses Clinc’s technology to offer broader conversations and analysis than just binary sort of answers. Jones calls it “three-dimensional” because of its ability to infer intent from interrogatory statements based on contextual evidence proposed in the interaction with its human counterpart.
“Our Alexa skill really has the ability to disseminate what you’re saying and, in some cases, answer a question most humans wouldn’t answer without proper context,” Jones says. So instead of just getting simple responses, the engine can analyze spending trends at specific places, for example, and aggregate data across several accounts, making the responses more holistic in nature. The technology can also be predictive at times when the user asks questions in a vague way, according to Jones, and can respond with a suggested prompt with a perceived answer, a capability that is so far rare in other similar AI interfaces.
USAA had wanted to wade into the AI and conversation engine area before signing on with Clinc, Jones says, and had developed a strategy they thought would have been effective, efficient and competitive, but then Clinc’s CEO, University of Michigan Professor Jason Mars, chimed in when they met at a conference. As Jones recalls, he told the team at USAA, “I think you guys have a great idea, but I think you’re doing it wrong.” It was exactly the assessment USAA was looking for. “We love partners who are willing to challenge us and make us better,” Jones says.
The conversational technology is still a ways off from administering payments or other products that might add to the bank’s bottom line, according to Jones. But USAA has already identified opportunities to leverage the technology to increase member loyalty, and potentially work in soft pitches for other products the bank offers and advise members of possible risks.
Jones says USAA has “really struggled with the success” of the pilot programs, so much so that they had to check and recheck the data and reporting to ensure it was accurate. Eventually, he says they hope to continue the scaling of the technology, which he expects to involve additional updates later this year.
“I have a belief that the days of typing or touching as your primary method of interaction are numbered,” Jones says. | 2019-04-18T20:25:14Z | https://www.bankdirector.com/issues/technology/more-your-average-ai/ |

It happened again, so I must share again. This time, it was Abba, Jesus’ Dad.
Last night, I sat in the back of the church. I usually choose this seat because I enjoy looking over the congregation as we pray together. That beautiful sea of God’s kids gathered in prayer quenches my thirst for community. Last night, my second reason for choosing the back of the church was my role as coordinator of the evening’s liturgy.
It was easy enough to prepare things ahead of time. Sitting in the back gave me the ability to see everything and to respond immediately if I had forgotten something important. The not-so-easy part was watching everything unfold for nine people whom I have come to know well this past year. These nine studied with my husband and me in order to prepare to be received into the church. Last night, they took their final steps by being baptized, making a profession of faith or completing their sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. I felt like a teacher who had rehearsed a program with her students and then watched with great anticipation as it unfolded. Like that teacher, I knew it was up to my students to make their way through the evening. I could only watch from the sideline and support them with my love and admiration.
As these nine made their way through each of the steps they had prepared for, I realized that I was seeing them with different eyes. Somehow, each of their successes and each of their vulnerabilities emerged before me. Somehow, I began to view them with the love and compassion of a parent -The Perfect Parent. Somehow, while I wished the very best for each one of them, I also knew that I must let each one continue on his or her own. Somehow, I heard myself say, “This is what the gift of free will is all about. I made them in my image, and now I must trust them to do their best with that.” My image?
Dear, dear God, thank you for allowing me this moment to see others as you see each one of us. I am beginning to understand why our lives unfold as they do. You prepared each one of us perfectly well. You also armed each one of us with free will. Yes, Dearest Abba, you care about every moment of our every day. Still, you love us enough and honor us enough to allow us to do what we do on our own terms. So it is that I must never blame you for my circumstances. Rather, I must turn to you in whatever goodness or evil I find myself and I must respond as only I can.
Yes, it happened again. I simply had to share God’s gracious gift to me.
I am very grateful for each of you, my readers. Though I had intended to return to only weekly posts after Easter, I am reluctant to give up this daily sharing of the things which are most important to me. So it is that I will attempt to provide some weekday reflections for you in addition to the Sunday editions. Hopefully, I will be blessed with the time and the inspiration to make this a daily event.
In the mean time, may the promise of Easter take root and bloom within us all!
Now Jesus knew very well the fear that caused his friends to tremble though it was already three days since he was arrested, condemned and crucified. Jesus knew the guilt that wrenched their hearts. Jesus knew that they struggled to face having deserted him when he needed them most. Jesus knew the distrust that grew among them until Judas exposed his own guilt. Jesus knew that when they lost him, his friends also lost their hope. The one upon whom they had wagered their futures and their very souls was gone forever. Indeed, Jesus knew well the emptiness that consumed his friends because he felt it himself just a few days earlier. It was this intimate knowledge of suffering that impelled Jesus to return to his friends and to set their world right again. It is this knowledge that impels Jesus to do the same for you and me this Easter and always.
If we could see into the hearts of those gathered to worship with us this Easter, we would find unimaginable joy and unimaginable suffering. While the joy is tangible in smiles, dancing eyes and good cheer, the suffering hides in quiet comings and goings. Some join us to worship and to celebrate this Easter Sunday without a wife or a husband, a mother or a father, a son or a daughter or a dear friend who left this world far too soon. Some have joined us this Easter Sunday in the face of a failing marriage or without a pay check. Some are so lonely that they will try to ignore this Easter after they leave church today in order to avoid the pain. Some will listen to the alleluias ring out. Some will actually sing “Alleluia” again and again for you and me in spite of their conviction that God cannot possibly intend Easter Joy to be theirs. Some struggle with worry over their children. Some battle illnesses that seem to be winning the war. Some sit among us in sadness, unable to explain even to themselves why they feel the way they do.
Today, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus in the circumstances of our lives, we remain fixed on God’s promises -All of them!- until we experience each one firsthand, just as Jesus did.
Risen Jesus, help me to embrace this Easter and every day of my life with God’s promise in mind. Keep me mindful of your love for me in my joy and in my sorrow. Fill me with your peace today, and make me a good steward who nurtures that peace within my heart and within those you have given me to love. Thank You, Jesus, for accomplishing the miracle of Easter, for eternal life that will one day be my own, and for the friendship you pursue with me even when I lose my way. Amen.
Though it is Holy Saturday and Easter’s Eve, I find myself reluctant to move beyond Jesus’ passion and death to celebrate his resurrection. At Lent’s onset, I promised myself that I would use these forty days to renew my relationship with Jesus in a very personal way. I told myself that I would look for Jesus beyond the words of the creed and pursue Jesus through his life, words and works among us.
This Lent, especially this Holy Week, I have experienced the most difficult days of Jesus’ life more fully. Jesus suffered real pain, real loneliness, real uncertainty regarding the value of his ministry, real fear and real disappointment. When Jesus hanged from the cross, Jesus caught a glimpse of hope through his bloody sweat and swollen eyes. Though much of the world saw a despised failure nailed to that cross, those who knew Jesus knew better. So it was that Jesus reached beyond the skeptics and cynics to offer salvation to the insurgent hanging beside him and to earn a place in eternity for you and me.
This Holy Saturday, all is not well in the world, nor will it ever be. Nonetheless, all is well with our friend Jesus. Jesus caused those rumblings in the tomb. Jesus returned more alive than he had been since Bethlehem. Yes, Jesus fulfilled the Easter Promise. So it is that I move beyond Jesus’ suffering and sing “alleluia” after all.
Risen Lord, I praise you, I glorify you, and I thank you! Alleluia!
I have to tell someone, so I am sharing this with you.
Tonight, I looked through Jesus’ eyes. More than a hundred people came to me, one by one. Each approached with absolute devotion, reverence and love. They were young and old. Of means and poor. Men, women, boys and girls, toddlers and babies. Some were pale as fine ecru linen. Some were aged bronze. Some glowed like polished ebony -as though their skin could no longer hold their spirits within them. Some had such expressive eyes that I could attend to nothing else. Some were dressed specially for this encounter. Others came in their work garb, happy to have arrived on time. Some came after a day of errands or childcare or eldercare. Some seemed energized in spite of their reverence. Others seemed weary, if not of this life, at least of this day.
Tonight, I looked through the eyes of Jesus. More than a hundred souls came to me, one by one. In spite of and regardless of their variety, I felt impelled to love them. Not “compelled” but “impelled” because it was something deep within me which opened my heart and let the love flow out. I knew with each encounter that I saw for a brief moment what Jesus sees. How did I know? Because I could never have loved this deeply on my own.
Tonight, I looked through the eyes of Jesus. At our parish celebration of Jesus’ Passion and Death, the congregation was invited to come forward to venerate the cross. I held the cross as more than one hundred people came forward to kiss, touch or bow in recognition of what Jesus did for each one of us. As they came forward, Jesus came forward, too. It was difficult to hold back the tears as I came to realize why Jesus continually poured himself out for those he met along the way. Jesus simply could not help himself. Jesus loved each one too much not to respond.
I have to tell someone, so I am sharing this with you. If you have any doubt that you are loved, give it up! I assure you. I looked through Jesus’ eyes tonight. I saw as he sees. Indeed, you are loved!
The pain had to be excruciating. Other men could not tolerate ten strikes of a Roman’s whip, yet Jesus endured thirty. The soldiers continued their abuse by pressing a crown fashioned from thorns into Jesus’ scalp. They threw a purple cloak onto Jesus’ torn flesh and paraded him back to Pilate. When the crowd of onlookers refused their mercy, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified.
In spite of his weakened state, Jesus carried his crossbeam to Calvary. By the time the soldier pounded the spikes through Jesus’ wrists, the pain was unbearable. Yet, as he hanged on the cross just minutes from death, Jesus opened his heart to those who kept vigil at his feet. They needed to be cared for more than he. So it was that Jesus called Mary to treat the beloved disciple as her own son. Then, Jesus turned and asked John to treat Mary as his mother.
As he hanged dying, Jesus opened his heart to you and to me as well. Jesus would have endured his passion and death for any one of us, even if you or I had been the only one who required redemption. As he hanged dying, Jesus spent himself to find the lost sheep; Jesus extended mercy to all of God’s prodigal children; Jesus paid the ultimate price for the rare pearl; Jesus became Savior of all the World.
Jesus, I kneel at your feet in sorrow as I have failed you more often than not. Yet, as I offer my contrition, your embrace reassures me. In the depths of your suffering, you draw me into your love. I love you, too, Dear Jesus. | 2019-04-20T14:53:13Z | https://marypenich.wordpress.com/2013/03/ |

What power cord with the Cambridge Audio 840C?
I just thought I whould start a thread to see what other people's experience with aftermarket power cables has been on this player? I have only tried a couple of budget cords to date- a Tube Audio Design "Iron Lung Jellyfish" cord, and a MAC (My Audio Cables) "Source" Sound Pipe. Both are nice for their price point/value, but as always, I want to squeeze a little more out of the player. To be honest, I never actually hooked the player up with the stock cord. Not looking to break the bank here- $300.00 or under new or used. I value overall transparency and top end frequency extension/air over anything else. The rest of my system consists of System Audio SA2K monitor speakers, Speltz anti cable speaker cabling and IC's, and a Manley Stingray integrated. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
I'm using the AZ Tsunami Plus because it allows the 840c to sound a shade more harmonious and natural sounding, but I doubt that it does anything to improve transparency and top end frequency extension and air. I'm using a Melody tube amp and Zu speakers.
Try the van den Hul Mainsserver power cord, approximately $350.00. Better hurry, prices are going to increase soon!
Try a second hand Nordost Shiva.
Save your money and buy Signal...or check out Element.
I would NOT recommend a Shiva: it is a very nice cord, but lacks "flesh on the bones." At the very least, one needs a Vishnu, but even this is not enough, I think. Having had all the Nordost cords, I opted for Shunyata power cords for the lower noise flower (Valhalla WILL have a lower noise floor than a Python Alpha: not so sure about the Phython Alpha Helix). The Shunyatas have considerably more tonal color, are dynamic and music sounds like itself, instead of a skeleton of such.
I'm sure there are other contenders, but be careful NOT to use the power cord to compensate for flaws in your system. You will never have a truly balanced system if you go that route.
Signal Digital Reference - excellent value, excellent power cord. Do the math - is a $300+ power cord going to give you 4 to 5X the performance compared to the Signal? Simple answer IMHO I think it works very well with this player.
I had very good luck with the Black Sand Silver Ref.
Just stick with what you have. It's a power chord used to deliver a few milliamps for goodness sake!
I'm using a Zu Bok on my 840C.
Audience PowerCord...after trying Zu Bok, AZ Tsunami, NBS Signature. Of course, your results may vary. Somebody...please give me the definition of synergy AGAIN?
I had excellent results with the Signal Cable Magic Digital Reference Power Cord when I owned the 840c.
It was also very inexpensive. | 2019-04-20T06:43:48Z | https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-power-cord-with-the-cambridge-audio-840c |

Yet, can Bahrain attain future food security by continuing its current practices? What are the possible opportunities for intervention on the island itself?
Cambridge, is home to numerous world-class universities including Harvard and MIT and over 105,000 residents that can be broken apart into three distinct groups, professionals, a strong working class, and the largest segment with over 40%, the students. More so, the governing bodies including the city and the universities are plagued with misaligned interests exposed through their resource allocation and differentiation of waste streams. Through quantitative and qualitative research including numerous interviews with a variety of stakeholders including the “city”, MIT, Harvard, and a survey that was completed by over 180 students and residents across the city. The research showed that the city has been left holding the “bag” at the end of the day. From each stakeholder’s perspective, waste was merely a byproduct of inconvenience. This spans each socioeconomic group that was contacted, and each institution, no matter how large or small—it is a matter of convenience.
We brought Boston’s Oyster Culture in the form of oysters on the half-shell to our critics during our final review.
Our review preparation was different this semester. Instead of perfecting boards and touching-up renderings, Jenny and I shredded horseradish and minced shallots for some classic oyster sauces. A half-hour before we presented, we shucked 22 oysters to serve.
Deniz Bertuna and Chris Johnson help us with preparations for serving oysters on the half shell to critics.
Aquaplot uses discarded oyster shells from local restaurants to sustain oyster reefs and a re-establish a healthy harbor ecosystem by establishing a city-wide oyster gardening program that closes the oyster waste stream, restores native oyster reefs, improves local water quality, and reconnects the people of Boston with their waterfront.
We presented our proposal at our final review at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. During the review, we brought a bit of Boston’s Oyster Culture to the GSD with a live shucking demonstration and tasting session for our critics. This video was shown after our introduction to oysters and the potential use of their wasted shells.
AQUAPLOT: an oyster garden proposal for Boston. from Kelly Murphy on Vimeo.
To many people, Boston is synonymous with shellfish, especially oysters. Oysters have always been a cornerstone of the New England diet, and were once a mainstay in the Boston harbor. Oyster reefs were a crucial element of the underwater landscape that filtered our estuaries and maintained our harbor as a rich natural resource area. They not only clean water, but also act as shoreline buffers that dissipate wave energy. What’s more, they support critical fisheries by providing habitat for numerous fish and crustacean species. Oyster reefs, however, are now the most severely impacted marine habitat on Earth: over 85% have been lost globally.
In today’s context we hear a lot about oysters, whether it’s their ability to bolster coastlines in the face of climate change, their water filtration capabilities (the average adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water per day), their potential for remediating eutrophic waters, or the food culture surrounding their consumption. There is, however, an important gap in this discourse: what about the waste associated with their consumption? What happens to oyster shells once they’ve been discarded?
Most people don’t recognize the magnitude of waste associated with discarded oyster shells once they’re consumed. In Massachusetts alone, 4.1 million pounds of oysters were harvested last year. Over 40 restaurants in Boston serve oysters, lending a distinctive identity to our city. Each restaurant generates around 20 pounds of oyster shell per day. Together, this totals over 300,000 pounds of oyster shell per year in Boston alone. Of these 40+ Boston restaurants, only 4 recycle their shells, meaning that 90% of shells are currently landfilled. Why? Because Boston doesn’t yet have a place for its shells.
How do you use discarded shells to sustain oyster reefs and a re-establish a healthy harbor ecosystem? By establishing a city-wide oyster gardening program that can close the gap in the oyster waste stream by creating demand for discarded shells. Oyster gardening can simultaneously restore native oyster reefs, improve local water quality, and reconnect the people of Boston with their waterfront. There are a number of successful precedents for oyster gardening programs around the region. There is no reason why Boston shouldn’t be at the forefront of oyster gardening given its rich heritage.
Oysters are relevant to the economy of the city and represent a local heritage that people are extremely proud of. While Boston is known for its shellfish, however, it is not performing well on the shell recycling front. Within this broken cycle lies an opportunity for the Boston to address two key problems: wasted shells and oyster reef decline. While there are numerous productive uses for discarded oyster shell, the best use by far is as reef substrate to grow juvenile oysters. The link between the two problems presents an exciting opportunity to propose a better system.
The waters of the Boston Harbor are currently closed to shell fishing due to the risk of oysters being harvested illegally in polluted waters. However, nursery areas for shellfish seeding projects are permitted if they are transplanted to approved waters. Over the last three years, the Massachusetts Oyster Project has proven that oysters can survive in Boston Harbor. In just a few years, oyster gardeners could use discarded restaurant shells to grow thousands of oysters in the Boston Harbor and re-stock endangered reefs in the region.
The benefits of oyster gardening are manifold, and span environmental, economic, and social realms. Oyster gardening connects the waste source to the solution, revives Boston’s local heritage, reconnects people with their waterfront, and brings life back to Boston Harbor. | 2019-04-24T20:20:58Z | http://networkedurbanism.com/posts/tag/networked-urbanism/ |
Government of India vice Circular No.27/01/2018-GST Dt.04-01-2018 has clarified that room rent in hospital is exempted. As for as inpatients are concerned, room facility in a hospital is one limb of bundled service of health care. The clarifications issued based on the approval of 25th GST Council Meeting held on 18-01-2018 [F.No.354/17/2018-TRU Dt. 12-02-2018, it was clarified that food supplied to the inpatients as advised by the doctor/nutritionist is a part of composite supply of health care and not separately taxable. Other supplies of food by hospital to patients not admitted are taxable. The same principle is applicable in the case of dispensing of medicine also.
The applicant is a multi-specialty tertiary care hospital providing health care services. They have categorized the patients as Out-Patients and In-Patients for the administrative convenience. The out-patients are those who visit the hospital for routine check-ups or clinical visits. The in-patients are those who are admitted in to the hospital for the required treatment. The in- patients are provided with stay facilities, medicines, consumables, implants, dietary food and other surgeries/ procedures required for the treatment.
The Central store of the hospital procures stocks of medicines, implants, consumables etc from various suppliers and distribute to its outlets such as in-patient pharmacy, operation theater pharmacy and out-patient pharmacy based on the indent issued. The in-patient pharmacy and operation theater pharmacy supplied medicines, implants and consumables only to in-patients. Whereas the ‘out-patient pharmacy attached to the hospital entertain the medical prescription of out-patients and outside customers with valid prescription.
Whether the medicines, consumables and implants used in the course of providing health care services to patients admitted to the hospital for diagnosis , or treatment would be considered as “Composite Supply” of health care services under GST and consequently exemption under Notification No.12/2017 read with Section 8(a) of GST?
The authorized representative of the applicant was heard. It is stated that, the medicines, consumables and implants used in the course of providing diagnosis or treatment to the inpatients would be part of ‘composite supply’ of health care services vide classification 9993. Composite supply would mean a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient consisting of two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both or any combination thereof, which are naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business, one of which is a principal supply. The applicant provides more than two taxable supplies such as room rent, medicines, dietary food, consumables etc along with health care treatment to inpatients. Supplies of these services are part and parcel of the treatment and they are essentially required to provide health care services. These are naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business. ‘Bundled service’ means a bundle of provision of various services wherein an element of provision of one service is combined with an element or elements of provision of any other service or services.
The medicines, consumables, implants etc are supplied during the diagnosis or treatment are in conjunction with each other used in the ordinary course of providing the health care services to the in-patients. Medical consultation service, nursing services, supply of medicines, consumables and implants are integral services of health care.
Notification No.12/2017 Central Tax exempt health care services provided by an authorized clinical establishment. The applicant is providing health care services to its patients. The medicines and surgical items supplied to the patients under medical prescription of doctors is incidental to the health services rendered in the hospital entitled to exemption being health care services. There are several decisions pertaining to the point that the supply of medicines, surgical items, etc to the patients in the course of treatment by hospital cannot be said to be sale.
The issue is examined in detail. Health care services provided by a clinical establishment an authorized medical practitioner or para medics are exempted vide Sl.No.74 of Notification No.12/2017-CT (Rate) Dt.28.06.2017. The word ‘clinical establishment’ means a hospital, nursing home, clinic, sanatorium or any other institution by, whatever name called, that offers services or facilities requiring diagnostics or treatment or care for illness, injury, deformity, abnormality or pregnancy in any recognized system of medicines in India or a place established as an independent entity or a part of an establishment to carry out diagnostic or investigative services of diseases.
The in-patient services are classified as exempted service under the sub-group 9993 11. Patients are only admitted to a hospital when they are extremely ill or have severe physical trauma. As far as an inpatient is concerned, hospital is expected to provide lodging, care, medicine and food as part of treatment under supervision till discharge from the hospital. The nature of the various services in a bundle of services will help in determining whether the services are bundled in the ordinary course of business. If the nature of services is such that one of the services is the main service and other services combined with such service are in the nature of incidental or ancillary services which help in better utility of main service. Hence the medicines, implants, room provided on rent, dietary food advised by nutritionists etc used in the course of providing health care services to the patients admitted for diagnosis or treatment in the hospital or clinical establishment is undoubtedly naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business. The patients expect to receive health care services by way of an appropriate diagnosis, appropriate medicines as well as relevant consumables or implants required to make sure that they get the best possible treatment. Hence the medicine and allied goods supplied to inpatient are indispensable items and it is a composite supply to facilitate health care services. This authority has already given a Ruling in this regard vide order No. KER/16/2018 Dt.26.09.2018 to the effect that the supply of medicines and allied items provided by the hospital through the pharmacy to the in-patients is part of composite supply of health care treatment and not separately taxable.
Pharmacy is an outlet to dispense medicines or allied items based on prescription. The inpatient pharmacy and operation theater pharmacy supplied medicines and consumables only to in-patients. Whereas an outpatient is concerned, hospital gives only prescription, which is an advisory in nature. The patient has absolute freedom to follow the prescription or not. Similarly there is freedom to procure the medicines or allied items prescribed, either from the pharmacy run by the hospital or from any other medicine dispensing outlets. Hospital reserves no control over his continuous treatment. As far as an outpatient is concerned there is no difference for procuring medicine either from the dispensing outlet within the hospital or from outside the hospital. In both places medicines dispensed based on prescription. Hence there is no privilege for the hospitals that are dispensing medicine to outpatients. Therefore pharmacy run by hospital dispensing medicine to outpatient or bye standers or others can be treated as individual supply of medicine and not covered under the ambit of health care services. Hence such supply of medicine and allied goods are taxable. | 2019-04-24T12:06:28Z | https://taxguru.in/goods-and-service-tax/gst-medicines-consumables-implants-providing-health-care-services.html |
In this live webinar on Tuesday, October 18th, Doug Campbell will present a simple method of trading options that provides the real freedom that you were seeking when you started trading. It does not require you to spend all your days locked down to a computer screen.
Trade options with confidence with some simple methods to help you manage positions as well as your emotions. There is no hype, just straight forward trading that produces results.
Doug Campbell has been trading for more than 25 years. He says however many of those early years were filled with frustration and struggle. Doug like many traders, spent years on a quest to find the Holy Grail indicator and trade set-up that would bring the success he desired. He was the classic definition of a Yo-Yo trader, having periods of great results followed by even longer periods where he would give back all of his gains and then some.
Although Doug threatened to give up trading many times, his dream of trading full time kept him pushing relentlessly forward toward his goal. He became a dedicated student of price action and simplified his trading. Doug tossed out all of the indicators, gave up the idea of predicting price action, and got back to the basics of pattern recognition and trend following.
As a husband, father of 2 and owner of a small construction company his progress was agonizingly slow. Today as a full-time trader of more than 10 years, a market educator, and trading coach, he is grateful for the lessons learned during those years of struggle.
If your reading this message and still struggling as a trader, I want to encourage you to never give up. Anything worth having requires a lot of effort and perseverance and why should trading be any different? The path to trading success has always been a challenging one to travel, however, I can attest the benefits of achieving your dream will far outweigh any obstacle you have to overcome.
I now run the Right Way Options service in conjunction with Hit & Run Candlesticks trading room, founded by my friend Rick Saddler. At Hit & Run Candlesticks and Right Way Options, we believe a quality education is a key to success. With that in mind, I am honored to have the opportunity to share with you, my simple approach to options trading that has thus far delivered a win/loss ratio of better than 70%. Straight talk on options trading without all the hype. I look forward to sharing with you soon. | 2019-04-24T15:47:53Z | https://denvertradinggroup.com/webinar-campbell-2016-10-18 |

No meager gains in earnings next fiscal awaits for Deepak Phenolics aims to vociferously boost output of phenol & acetone, thus unrelentingly reducing dependence on imports. Despite improved product mix, Deepak's basic chemicals business would scarcely escape volatility in global crude oil prices. Despite depreciation of rupee last fiscal, DNL's exports grew by just 9% last fiscal. Yet sturdier utilization of productive assets would barely stymie return on capital and asset turnover ratios.

Celebrities including Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and Michelle Keegan have agreed to change the way they label their social media posts.
A total of 16 stars will now clearly say whether they have been paid in exchange for a post, or if an item they are featuring has been gifted or loaned to them.
Others agreeing to the pact include models Alexa Chung and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - as well as reality TV stars Mario Falcone and Millie Mackintosh.
Falcone's Twitter account heavily features a luxury watch brand, with tweets showing him embracing his newborn son while endorsing a 10% discount code. Meanwhile, Mackintosh's Instagram is packed with mentions of beauty and clothing brands.
Together, the celebrities have tens of millions of followers across platforms including Instagram and Twitter.
The formal commitment follows action by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which wants to improve transparency and prevent consumers from being misled by celebrity endorsements.
Such posts can have a powerful impact and boost sales for the companies promoted - with millions of fans exposed to updates about where the celebrities go on holiday, what they wear, and the products they use.
By law, stars are required to disclose whether they have been paid to incentivise or endorse a brand.
Several celebrities have been sent warning letters urging them to review their practices.
Andrea Coscelli, the chief executive of the CMA, said the move sends a "clear message" to influencers, brands and businesses about what is expected from them.
He added: "Influencers can have a huge impact on what their fans decide to buy. People could, quite rightly, feel misled if what they thought was a recommendation from someone they admired turns out to be a marketing ploy.
"You should be able to tell as soon as you look at a post if there is some form of payment or reward involved, so you can decide whether something is really worth spending your hard-earned money on."
The CMA has also published a set of guidelines for social media influencers, called An Influencer's Guide To Making Clear That Ads Are Ads.
It has not come to any conclusions about whether posts have broken the law. | 2019-04-21T04:32:34Z | https://www.pulse1.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/celebs-to-say-when-they-are-paid-to-promote-brands-online/ |

Air Conditioning & Heating in Sunnyside, New York - Air Conditioning & Heating in Sunnyside, NY: Yellow Pages Directory Inc.
Air condition in Sunnyside helps to remove the heat from indoors by cooling the air for thermal comfort. The comfort applications aim to provide a building indoor environment that remains relatively constant in a range preferred by humans, despite changes in external weather conditions or in internal heat loads.
In milder winter climates, where temperature is quite low, heat pumps are used. Heat pump in Sunnyside is a term for a type of air conditioner in which the refrigeration cycle is able to be reversed, producing heat instead of cold in the indoor environment, commonly referred to, and marketed as, a reverse cycle air conditioner. Some home-owners in Sunnyside elect to have a heat pump system installed, which is actually simply a central air conditioner with heat pump functionality, that is the refrigeration cycle is reversed in the winter. When the heat pump is enabled, the indoor evaporator coil switches roles and becomes the condenser coil, producing heat. The outdoor condenser unit also switches roles to serve as the evaporator, and produces cold air that is colder than the ambient outdoor air. | 2019-04-26T08:12:16Z | https://www.yellowpagesgoesgreen.org/Sunnyside-NY/Air+Conditioning+-and-+Heating |

This is the meaning of faith.
Gunnar Larson is a self-described "diehard romantic." The NYC-based interior designer bought an engagement ring when he was only 13 years old, simply because he was so certain that, one day, he would find that special person to give it to. And you know what? When he met and, later, proposed to his future wife, Sarah, nearly 10 years later, it actually fit her perfectly.
Gunnar met Sarah at a house party after flying back for his sister's wedding in Wyoming. Later, when they were driving back, Sarah looked at him, and it was then that he already knew that they would fall in love.
Coming from religious backgrounds, they decided to save themselves for marriage, although it didn't really feel like they were missing out at all.
"The funny thing is that neither of us technically saved ourselves for marriage," he told Refinery 29. "We felt like we could kind of redeem ourselves and give this gift of our sexuality to each other."
On the day of their wedding in Smithfield, Virginia, the side of their car read "We finally get to do it!" And, apparently, it was worth the wait.
"It was definitely a spiritual moment of us physically coming together," he said.
Five years later, they had a baby, and named her "Ihlen" after the town in which she was conceived. And he only wishes the same kind of love story for her that he and his mother share.
"I want her to know love. True love," he said. | 2019-04-19T06:58:49Z | https://www.redbookmag.com/love-sex/news/a20339/this-diehard-romantic-bought-an-engagement-ring/ |
Argentina winger Jonas Gutierrez has joined Newcastle United, the English Premiership side announced Wednesday.
The midfielder, who celebrates his 25th birthday on Saturday, has arrived at the northeast side from Spanish club Real Mallorca on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
Jonas, nicknamed 'Spiderman' for the mask he puts on for goal celebrations, is set to arrive at St James' Park later this month after a break following Argentina's goalless World Cup qualifier draw against Brazil on June 18.
Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan said: “Jonas is a wonderful signing for us.
“I know a lot of other clubs have been interested in him. He will be a terrific addition to the squad.
“He is an exciting player and I'm sure our fans will enjoy watching him,” the former England boss added.
Gutierrez, who had been linked with a move to Newcastle's Premier League rivals Portsmouth, said: “I cannot tell you how excited I am to be joining Newcastle United.
Gutierrez could make his first appearance for the Magpies in their pre-season friendly against PSV Eindhoven at St James' on August 6.

I love Victorian churches, and I had long been looking forward to coming back to All Saints. When I was last here in 2006 the church was locked without any keyholders listed, but I'd been told there'd been a turnaround in thinking here, and the church was now accessible.
Of course, this church isn't really Victorian. It is one of the many medieval round-towered churches in the Wensum valley to the west of Norwich. But it was totalled in the 1870s at the expense of the Rector, John Barham Johnson. He replaced the chancel, completely refitted the shell of the nave, and finished off the round tower with a brick course and conical top. The tower is curiously short on openings, making an age difficult to guess, but Detective Pevsner noted the thickness of the nave west wall, suggesting that the church was here before the tower, as is common in this part of Norfolk. This would place the tower no earlier than the late Norman period. I looked forward to testing this theory for myself.
Everyone speaks highly of Welborne. Even dear old Munro Cautley, who ordinarily had any Victorian architect who strayed onto his land dragged behind the stable block and shot. He describes it as beautifully restored. The funny thing is, it isn't clear who the architect here actually was. Could it have been Barham Johnson himself?
My desire to investigate the tower fell at the first hurdle - it was cordoned off by a safety fence with a Danger - Keep Out sign. It seems that the work of the 1870s is coming to the end of its natural life, and tiles and the like have started falling onto the heads of anyone unfortunate enough to walk below. The tiny parish has set in motion an ambitious plan to raise over a hundred thousand pounds needed for the repairs, and jolly good luck to them.
Well, the church still wasn't open, but there was now a notice with four telephone numbers you could ring for the key. I rang one. The man who answered seemed a little unclear as to why I was ringing (I think I may have woken him up) but eventually we negotiated that he'd come down and open the church for us. And he did. He nipped in to turn off the alarm, and we stepped into an utterly beautiful space, a tiny yet full blown Anglo-catholic interior of an age of confidence. My eyes were drawn to the beautiful roodscreen in the style of the 15th Century, and as if by magic the chancel came alive beyond as the keyholder switched on the lights. Now, it was the gorgeous reredos, Christ in Majesty flanked by the Lamb of God and a Pelican in her Piety, which dominated the church.
At one time the liturgy here must have been the Highest of the High, and although that is clearly no longer the case the beauty of it survives. The furnishings are exquisitely carved, those on the chancel stalls dominated by, firstly, St Michael on the north side banishing Adam and Eve from Paradise, who stand somewhat bewildered on the south side. And then, further east, St Gabriel kneels in supplication to the north while the young Virgin Mary stands at her prayer desk to the south. It all must have cost an absolute fortune - Barham Johnson must have been a very wealthy man.
At the north-west corner of the nave is a memorial to Henry Barham-Johnson, son of the restoring Barham Johnson. Henry followed his father as Rector here. One of Henry's own sons, Geoffrey, was killed in the First World War. Another son, John, was a popular composer of piano and church music. Both are remembered on the memorial with him. Out in the porch window there is a curious survival, a smattering of medieval stained glass fragments. They came from the same collection as the great sequence of Saints and Martyrdoms in the church at North Tuddenham. They were found in a builder's yard in Dereham in the 1880s, and were bought for fifty shillings. The bulk was installed at North Tuddenham, but the Rector gave the odd bits left over to Welborne. Some of the fragments of inscription here match bits of inscription in the other church, and are part of a massive sequence of the life and martyrdom of St Margaret. No one knows where it all came from originally. It must have been a big church.
And at last we stepped outside, blinking in the low sunshine. A statue of the Blessed Virgin and child stands to the west of the porch, a relic of Anglo-catholic days, and the pleasing little churchyard is completed by one of Norfolk's best lychgates in the Arts and Crafts style. It was all very satisfying. The keyholder gave us a cheery wave, and we set off for Mattishall. | 2019-04-26T02:06:07Z | http://norfolkchurches.co.uk/welbourne/welbourne.htm |

How did the writing process on ‘”Monk” work? I know Andy Breckman was in New Jersey writing the series and not in California. How did that work?
We were all in New Jersey writing the series. On one of the DVD bonus features, we explain the process. But here it is in a thumbnail.
When a show gets picked up, the head writer assembles a staff of writers to help him churn out the episodes, do re-writes, casting decisions, location approvals, etc. In Andy’s case, he was a movie writer who refused to move to L.A. where almost every other writer’s room sets up shop.
Instead, he hired a group of East Coast writers. We went into the office and spent all day talking through an episode. It usually took a week to thoroughly outline the story and major jokes. And then one of us, or a guest writer, would take the outline and, in our spare time, turn it into a script. Yes, in our spare time! It was a separate contract and not part of our regular jobs.
Then would come rewrites from Andy. Then the table read, where we would sit on the phone and listen to the actors in LA read it for the first time. Then more rewrites, etc.
It became a fairly smooth process after a while. Tony and the bigwigs would fly into New Jersey once a year, listen to our ideas for the season, then fly off and leave us alone. We always had a writer on the set in L.A. to handle the quick little changes that are necessary during filming. But what wound up on the screen was almost always exactly what we wrote in the room above the dentist’s office in Summit, New Jersey. | 2019-04-22T20:15:51Z | http://www.hyconrad.com/blog/reader-question-of-the-day-how-did-the-writing-process-on-monk-work/ |
Nine faculty from William & Mary’s sister university, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), in Chengdu, China, are spending the fall semester studying the pedagogical approaches of W&M faculty as part of the inaugural cohort of the Excellence in University Teaching Program.
The visiting faculty hail from a range of disciplines including law, economics, physics, languages, humanities, and leadership. The program is co-hosted by the School of Education and the Reves Center for International Studies.
“What originated as a professional development program for a group of professors from a sister university has really developed into a deepening of the relationship between the two universities,” observed Stephen J. Sechrist, director of the Office of International Students Scholars and Programs at the Reves Center.
Sechrist has facilitated the program throughout, and helped connect the visiting faculty with W&M faculty in their field who are serving as collegial peers on campus.
“It’s a bilateral opportunity for an exchange of ideas between our faculties on the subjects of university pedagogy, course design, how we motivate and assess students and how we engage them,” he said. | 2019-04-25T21:52:05Z | https://www.wm.edu/offices/revescenter/news/2018/an-exchange-of-ideas-on-excellence-in-university-teaching.php |
Chad Reed will remain on his TwoTwo Motorsports machine but factory Honda has committed to supporting the top red rider through the end of the season.
Honda will bring Kevin Windham in for the outdoor motocross season, but it still hasn’t announced any replacements for the injured Trey Canard and Josh Grant at the remaining two rounds of AMA Supercross. This late in the game it may not be worth the effort to test and prepare the machines for another rider. However, Honda does still have a presence in the pits. Not only is the team semi truck on display, but Honda is now fully invested in the success of TwoTwo Motorsports Chad Reed, who is also mounted on a CRF450R. Here’s a blurb from a recent press release regarding their relationship.
Not exactly what some of the rumor mills have been generating about Reed slipping under the factory tent, but it makes sense this way. Reed has put too much effort into his fledgling TwoTwo Motorsports program and the limited sponsors on his team deserve the full credit for his success this year. I think it’s commendable for Reed to stick it out for his crew rather than borrow Canard’s bike. It’s a win-win for everyone. If he can pull off the championship as a first-year “privateer” effort, that alone will be a huge accomplishment, and Honda still gets to claim the title for the red team. | 2019-04-19T11:24:07Z | http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2011/04/article/honda-supporting-chad-reed-in-remaining-sx/ |

Wind is by far the largest and one of the oldest renewable energy sector, globally. Wind power supplied more new power generation than any other technology in 2015, according to the IEA.
What makes the wind sector even more promising is the fact that it is an established sector globally and growing strong and steady year-on-year (A record 63 GW of wind power was installed globally last year – 2016).
The EAI team – a division of Clixoo – has worked on a variety of consulting and strategic assignments over the past several years and possess an in-depth understanding of the wind power value chain. We have worked with diverse stakeholders in the wind sector – government, small businesses, global leaders, international firms entering India and academia.
Clixoo has the unique intersection of expertise in developing world-class, and highly effective tools and other software solutions for the wind sector that can be an effective aid in your investment decisions.
Unlike Solar – which can be put up practically anywhere under the sun, tapping wind energy requires more analyses and assessment.
For Developers and Investors, it is critical to assess the proposed wind farm’s capability and feasibility before investing. Today, most developers and wind plant designers depend on customized software tools that can predict the wind energy output for a given year and over its complete lifetime.
This software will be highly useful for stakeholders who need to make an assessment report while presenting to the potential client and such analysis will also be useful for wind turbine optimization to obtain the maximum yield. This report will be also key for further steps in setting up a wind farm like obtaining finance and procuring approvals.
As wind power is a volatile energy changing very frequently in a given time period, several Governments are making wind energy forecasting and scheduling mandatory. Simulation of wind power generation data using software for a set period of say 6 months or 1 year is critical for the utilities to allocate grid resources for banking and transmission.
Whether maintaining an individual turbine or monitoring an entire wind farm, owners need to access the right information to instantly respond to any issues and maximize power generation.
In order to increase up-time and improve energy production, 24X7 data intelligence from wind farms has become a natural necessity.A reliable monitoring software is important for any investor or developer – to take targeted action based on observed and historic trends.
Specific financial analysis tools can be used by various stakeholders like wind plant developers, policy makers, wind energy investors and the like.Such software tools usually take into account the specifics of wind energy production like resource availability, maintenance costs, construction costs, actual energy yield, interest rates, government incentives, etc.
Such tools could be a good resource for wind farm developers, OEMs and Investors who wish to analyse their wind turbine investment in a single go without the hassles of spreadsheets and complex computations.
Financial modeling for different business models like community wind farms, and other innovative solutions.
Wish to outsource Wind Energy related software or app development?
EAI, a division of Clixoo, is one of the top most brands in the renewable energy sector. Considered India’s leading cleantech consulting and research firm, EAI has done projects in various sectors including solar energy, energy efficiency, waste-to-energy, waste water treatment, biomass, wind energy, etc.
With our decade-long expertise in operating in a variety of cleantech domains, and with our base in India, a country known for its software expertise, the Clixoo team can provide outsourced software solutions for different verticals within the cleantech sector. | 2019-04-26T01:51:04Z | http://www.clixoo.com/solutions/wind |

Sometimes standard sensory nerve conduction studies show normal results in patients with definite symptoms of sensory polyneuropathy. This is usually explained because standard neurophysiological tests evaluate only large myelinated fibers and do not assess the slowest conducting fibers, more distal segments of the nerves and tactile receptors. Tactile stimulation is a test, not routinely available, that assesses the function of tactile receptors and conduction of fibers that are depolarized by these receptors. During conventional sensory nerve conduction studies (in patients and healthy subjects) through surface electrodes, where we slowly increased the intensity of the stimulus, we occasionally observed a sensory response characterized by a particular morphology with two peaks. After several experiments (performed in the neurophysiological laboratories of Catholic University of Rome and of University of Uppsala) we argued that the double component of the response is the expression of the stimulation of tactile receptors (and depolarization of their related fibers). Therefore an electrical stimulation through conventional EMG equipment allows us to assess function of tactile receptors (and related nerve fibers). This observation may have important diagnostic application in clinical practice to evaluate suspected polyneuropathies negative to neurophysiological conduction studies. | 2019-04-26T03:59:50Z | https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/jns/2001/00000006/00000001/art00049 |

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions is enabling organizations to accelerate application deployment and delivery, dramatically reducing IT costs through policy enabled workflow automation. SDN technology enables cloud architectures by delivering automated, on demand application delivery and mobility at scale. Software-Defined Networking enhances the benefits of data center virtualization, increasing resource flexibility and utilization and reducing infrastructure costs and overhead. With SDN it accomplishes these business objectives by converging the management of network and application services into centralized, extensible orchestration platforms. That can automate the provisioning and configuration of the entire infrastructure. Common centralized IT policies bring together disparate IT groups and workflows. The result is a modern infrastructure that can deliver new applications and services in minutes, rather than days or weeks required in the past.

You have to look to the military to discover the root of Wood’s lust for adventure. He grew up listening to his grandfather’s war stories. They made him realise the world was slightly bigger than his home of Stoke-on-Trent in the UK. After studying history at Nottingham Trent University, he joined the British army – alongside Prince Harry – as an officer at Sandhurst and then served as a paratrooper in Afghanistan in 2008. Wood’s father – a geology and geography teacher – was in the Territorial Army and a childhood spent camping in the Peak District and doing DIY expeditions aged 14 was the clincher.
When quizzed on his earliest travel memory, he replies with an almost boyish enthusiasm, “Going to Greece at the age of four with my parents. We stayed in this grotty little apartment and they would send me down to the grocery store every day for the shopping – I had to order it all in Greek.” Luckily for us, his travel horizons expanded beyond the Hellenic Republic and luckily for him, his guides now take care of all the local lingo. | 2019-04-22T16:11:27Z | https://www.emirates.com/mv/English/open-skies/4102017/the-walk-of-life |

Eddie Redmayne’s prehistoric character in a new film from the makers of Wallace and Gromit has been revealed in a first-look teaser trailer.
The Oscar-winning actor voices Dug, a courageous caveman hero who belongs to a hapless tribe in the stop-motion animation Aardman comedy Early Man, which is set for release in January 2018.
Set at the dawn of time, the forthcoming film also stars the voice work of Tom Hiddleston as Dug’s enemy Lord Nooth and Timothy Spall as Chief Bobnar, along with a host of other British acting talent including Maisie Williams, Richard Ayoade, Johnny Vegas, Mark Williams and Selina Griffiths.
Dug and his tribe must unite to protect their Bronze Age city against the wrath of the evil Lord Nooth.
In the teaser, Dug is seen on a hunt with his sidekick Hognob, before he is forced to chastise members of his tribe who have followed him while playing mood-setting music.
Director Nick Park, the creator of Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and hit film Chicken Run, said: “Today we get to meet Dug’s tribe, a loveable bunch of misfits voiced by some exceptional British talent.
“They’re essentially a group of inept cavemen and women including Treebor, played by Richard Ayoade, a gentle giant scared of his own shadow; Magma, Treebor’s no-nonsense mother voiced by Selena Griffiths, and Mark Williams as Barry, whose best friend is a rock.
Filming is currently taking place in Bristol and the project continues the partnership of Aardman and StudioCanal following 2015 film Shaun the Sheep.
Early Man is to be released in UK cinemas on January 26 2018. | 2019-04-24T04:29:35Z | https://www.sonymoviechannel.co.uk/news/eddie-redmayne-star-aardman-animation |
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (Nov. 14, 2018)—Early stage software developer and technology consultancy BizWatt, LLC announces the formation of its board of advisors.
Jeremy LaDuque, COO of Online Image and multi-unit franchise owner, has founded and lead technology companies for 20 years. Prior to Online Image, a software provider to franchise and multi-unit organizations, he founded ElementsLocal, acquired by Bridgeline Digital (NA: BLIN). To BizWatt, he brings an extensive background in taking SaaS companies to market, executing market strategies and acquiring and managing large scale enterprises such as Luxottica, UPS Stores, and Twitter.
Jeshua Borges, senior architect with Pocket, a Mozilla company, has led engineering teams on large scale applications such as Bebo, which sold to AOL. Borges also started and sold multiple software companies and sits on the boards of startup and mid-stage companies.
Sean Collier, COO of Etna Interactive, has taken several startups from idea stage to global organizations. As VP of Global Sales Engineering at Kibo Commerce and Chief Customer Advocate at Shopatron, he focused on customer experience through repeatable, scalable operations. As a digital cloud software leader, Collier served as a board advisor, investor, founder, and product manager. To BizWatt, he brings his belief that strong financial discipline, teamwork, and alignment across stakeholders drives the highest returns with the lowest risk.
Founded in 2016 by Fred Dyste, BizWatt, LLC developed Qfactor™ for Land Surveyors, a leading proposal and project creation and tracking tool providing status and profitability reporting by integrating with time entry and accounting software allowing for data to be entered once and showing up where needed.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif (Sept. 24, 2018)—Software developer and technology consultancy BizWatt, LLC concluded its initial round of funding and announced the minimum viable product (MVP) version of their project management application, Qfactor for Land Surveyors. Currently the product is being used by land surveying firms across the United States.
BizWatt, LLC closed its seed round by announcing venture capital firm Nordic American Ventures as their lead investor. According to Nordic American Ventures partner Chaz Groves, this is one of his fund’s better investments because BizWatt is exceeding expectations in product development and market penetration.
In December 2017, BizWatt released the MVP version of Qfactor for Land Surveyors, a project management application tailored specifically for this industry that creates intuitive interfaces, timelines, and other project management tools by pulling data from the programs surveying firms already use, such as Google Earth, QuickBooks, and time tracking software. By doing so, it eliminates data silos and makes programs that are normally incompatible talk to one another.
Qfactor for Land Surveyors uses BizWatt’s platform to deliver this service so it can be quickly and easily adapted to clients’ feedback. It works on a SaaS model, or a model in which the software is centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription basis.
Dyste’s plans will further develop the product to include a proposal building feature to assist land surveyors with authoring and submitting project proposals to potential clients.
Founded in 2016, BizWatt, LLC is a client-centered consultancy that helps companies break down data silos by integrating a client’s disparate applications, including their project and business management tools into an easy-to-use data ecosystem. Their tagline “because work is power over time” is a play on Ohm’s law which describes how electrical resistance turns into capacity. BizWatt believes that work is done more efficiently when you have power over time. Qfactor for Land Surveyors gives you that power.
BizWatt founder, Fred Dyste has over 30 years of experience working with startups, early stage, and publicly traded companies. He is able to respond to the particular needs of a diversity of companies because, over the course of his professional life, he has been involved in an array of ventures, products, and services. This gives him a broad perspective on a variety of industries and an ability to identify market niches, product needs, and implementation strategies. He can also multi-task in finance, operations, and sales & marketing and is the developer of Qfactor.

Now I ask, in the first place, what necessity was there for departing from the mode of expression used in the 4th section, which, for the first time, is general, without particular reference to any of the persons before described? Would it not have been as well in the 5th as in the 4th section to say "that where any individual becoming indebted to the United States shall become insolvent," &c.? What reason can be assigned for the specification of revenue officers, one class of persons mentioned expressly in the 1st section, intended in the 2d and 3d, by plain words of reference, and clearly meant in the 4th, when it must be admitted that the words used in the 4th section, or the words "other persons" in the 5th, would have comprehended revenue officers, if they were broad enough to include every description of persons indebted to the United States? | 2019-04-20T16:27:26Z | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/6/358/ |

BOSTON (AP) - Virginia coach Tony Bennett talked about having a 10-man group.
It only seemed like they were all on the court at the same time.
Playing only 25 minutes apiece, Devon Hall scored 13 points and Isaiah Wilkins had 11 points and nine rebounds to help No. 16 Virginia beat Boston College 71-54 on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers’ bench pitched in with 33 points.
Darius Thompson scored 10 points off the bench, reserve Kyle Guy added eight more and Ty Jerome had five points and five assists. Three of the top five Cavaliers in minutes played and two of the top five in plus-minus were reserves as Virginia (14-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat BC for the fourth straight time.
Connor Tava scored 12 points with a season-high 11 rebounds and Jordan Chatman had 16 points for the Eagles (9-10, 2-4).
Virginia scored the first six points of the game and then, with Bennett subbing out the starters liberally, scored 15 straight points later in the first half to turn an 8-8 tie into a double-digit lead it never relinquished.
The Cavaliers added a 9-2 run at the end of the first half and, after going without a basket for the first 5 minutes of the second, rattled off 14 of 16 points to clinch it.
Virginia: The early blowout allowed the starters to rest before next week’s games against No. 15 Notre Dame and No. 1 Villanova.
Boston College: After winning its first two ACC home games at home, Boston College struggled with a conference power.
After losing consecutive games to No. 20 Florida State and Pittsburgh, the Cavaliers fell to No. 16 after residing in the top 15 for 54 consecutive polls. They have a little breather before finishing off the month against the Fighting Irish and the Wildcats.
Bennett harped on the team’s improvement over its last game. The Cavaliers beat Clemson 77-73, but they had 16 turnovers and gave up 42 points in the paint.
Jerome said at the next practice after Sunday’s game, Bennett spent the first 5-10 minutes just working on inbounding the ball - a particular problem against the Tigers.
“Coach always talks about eliminating losing before you can win,” Jerome said.
Virginia had just five turnovers against BC, and 22 assists on 27 baskets.
Christian said guard Jerome Robinson, the team’s leading scorer with a 20-point average, got hit in the jaw and was complaining about his vision. He finished with nine points on 4-of-14 shooting, just the third time this season he was held in single digits.
Virginia: hosts Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Boston College: hosts No. 9 North Carolina on Saturday. | 2019-04-23T10:10:18Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/18/no-16-virginia-beats-boston-college-71-54/ |
Giveaway, $360 Value: Atlanta Food & Wine Festival!
Oftentimes, the South gets a bad rap from other parts of the nation. And, although we do like getting the respect that we deserve, sometimes we don’t mind living in a well-kept secret of beautiful forests, striking mountains (Yes! We have mountains!), the best beaches in the world, and the most friendly, welcoming people you’ll ever encounter.
However, one secret that we haven’t kept so well is our food. Because something that amazing just can’t be hidden.
Barbeque, grits, southern seafood, fried okra, chicken and dumplings, cobbler, banana pudding… the list is endless, and should be making you hungry about now. Southern food is comforting, friendly, and absolutely deserving to be celebrated.
And in less than a month, celebrations will occur!
The second annual Atlanta Food & Wine Festival will be a four-day extravaganza of southern food immersion.
Although “Atlanta” is in the name, it’s only the location: the founders, Elizabeth Feichter and Dominique Love, are committed to ensuring that every part of the south is equally represented and celebrated. They have an all-star Advisory Council of 70 highly celebrated chefs (all of which have been recognized with major national culinary honors) that hail from fifteen states.
The Advisory Council is deeply involved in every aspect of planning the event, so they have combined their expertise with everything they learned at last year’s event to create an even more unforgettable southern culinary experience.
The three focus areas of the festival will be Old Traditions (soul food, barbecue, Cajun and Creole, etc.), New Traditions (the fusing of Southern food with Asian, Greek, French, Latin, etc.), and Imports and Inspirations (“Other Southern” – food from other southern regions around the world, including Southern Europe, South Africa, South America, etc.).
Tasting Tents – There will be fifteen different food trails, which highlight all of the different flavors of a particular food. Some of these trails include fried chicken, barbeque, seafood, southern snacks, and southern sweets.
Seminars, Demonstrations, and Panel Discussions – During each time slot, they have many different options for the foodie who wants to learn. Some of these sessions include Cast Iron Cooking, Techniques for Biscuits, Grits, and Cornbread, Southern Cakes and Pies, World Class Coffee at Home, and Southern Chemistry.
Dinners – During the evening hours, local chefs will host out-of-town chefs for a series of special dinners, parties and southern-style soirees. One such event will be a “Pig-Out, Southern-Style”, where the 70 chefs of the Advisory Council will be hosting and not cooking, which means that they will be interacting with the guests and helping to create the epitome of a foodie atmosphere. There are dozens of these amazing dinners that can be bought in a weekend package or à la carte.
They have a wide range of participation options, including day passes, three-day passes, tasting tent passes, dinners and events, and the ultimate VIP Connoisseur experience.
And if you would like to experience this for yourself, I have a pair of Day Passes for Sunday, May 13 to give away to a lucky winner!
This prize is a $360 value!!

Oh how I miss Memphis and Texas and the food. The last time my husband and I went to Houston and to Memphis, we spent days planning our food strategy. Chicken fried steak, BBQ, Gus’ fried chicken, El Mezcal Mexican food, The Cupboard for meat and three. The food is good in Wisconsin – people her come by their Milwaukee Rolls honest – but man, it’s a whole different kind of good down south.

I living in Spain. Most of our meat is grass-fed.
I have read that people are getting poor results from using sous vide on grass-fed steaks. Can anyone comment? It would be a real bummer if it is true.
in the meat compared to normal US supermarket meat which is pretty uniform. My guess would be your typical Spanish beef, whether grass-fed or not, would be different than US supermarket meat. For instance, the beef I get from a local ranch tenderizes almost twice as fast as the supermarket beef I get.
In general, most sous vide cooking ranges should still work, you just need to fool around and see if your meat is more tender or more tough in general. If you cook some meat and it isn't as tender as you would like just bump up the cook time by a few hours and see if the extra tenderization helps out.
That's what's nice about sous vide, once you know what temperature you want the meat to be the only thing that matters is how long to cook it. The longer you cook, the more tender it gets.
I hope this allows you to get some great results, let us know how it does! | 2019-04-21T14:12:48Z | https://www.amazingfoodmadeeasy.com/modernist-cooking-forums/Sous-Vide-Recipes-Forum/topics/grass-fed-beef-steaks-sous-vide |

Editor's Note: Through the remainder of the Twins' playoff run, City Pages Online will feature this daily running correspondence between Yard columnist Brad Zellar and his fantasy baseball arch-nemesis, CP editor Steve Perry.
Fun, huh? I've been completely amazed at the pitching the Twins have gotten from Radke and Mays. Yes, Mays was one of the best pitchers in the league last year; Radke strikes me as a junkballer hanging on through guilethe way guys like Bob Forsch always did. Remember him?
But my point is, they were both hobbled and largely ineffective all year. There was nothing about these guys' respective seasons to suggest they could be counted on to come up big in the postseason. Consider: The Twins now have four playoff wins, three of them from a pair of pitchers who were no better than even bets to be healthy enough to pitch at all in the postseason.
What did you think of Gardenhire's pulling Mays in the 9th in favor of Eddie? Mays was at 100 pitches even. It made sense to get him out; this is a guy who pitched only 95 innings all year. On the other hand there was the specter of Unsteady Eddie's 9th inning on Sunday. I got a bad feeling watching him warm up.
This move may have been the obvious thing to do in Gardenhire's mind, but it was awfully risky too. Had Guardado rolled over again, the repercussions could have been devastating not only for this game but for Eddie's subsequent playoff performance as well--pitchers have flipped themselves out over far less.
But it worked out all right, like Radke and Mays and practically Everything else the Twins have done this postseason. Luck and pluck--that was the Horatio Alger formula, wasn't it?
Fun doesn't even begin to describe it. As someone who routinely attended dozens of games every year throughout the Twins long post-'91 slide--as a paying customer, mind you--this whole experience has been tremendous and gratifying on more levels than I could begin to describe in my current paralyzed, brain-static euphoria. You tend to forget that it's actually more exhausting to root for a winning team than a losing team. When the Twins sucked so bad in the mid- to late-nineties going to games was more or less like watching TV; it was something to do, but you no longer had any real investment of hope or enthusiasm in the experience. This sort of thing--playoff baseball--this is something entirely different. It might kill me.
I have to say that I'm not amazed at all by the pitching of Radke in the postseason. I was more amazed --and impressed-- that the Twins managed to have such a solid season without much of a contribution from the guy who was their best pitcher through most of those aforementioned bad years.
I've always loved Radke. Early in his career I honestly thought he had a chance to be Greg Maddux: a guy who knew how to pitch, always seemed to have a game plan, and thrived on impeccable control. He obviously hasn't become Maddux, but he's still a pretty damn good pitcher. Still only 29, Radke has managed to win 100 games in the Major Leagues despite pitching on terrible teams for most of his career. Until this season he had made at least 30 starts and pitched more than 200 innings in every one of the last six seasons. He also posted double-digit victory totals in each of his previous seven seasons with the Twins. And with the exception of last year all of those were with losing clubs. Before this year he also consistently managed to stay healthy, and he has always posted excellent strike out-to-walk ratios.
Like I say, I still really like him, and I think he's positioned to really put on a show in this postseason. As he admitted before the Oakland series, his arm--minus those extra 100 innings he'd usually have thrown by now--feels better than it ever has this late in the season.
The same may well be true for Mays, who threw even fewer innings than Radke this year (this after leading the team last season in wins, earned run average, and innings pitched). Last year, however, he sort of came out of nowhere, and Mays is easily the biggest head case on the Twins pitching staff. He's not a flake, really, so much as just the one effusive and honestly neurotic guy on a staff full of stoic characters. In a lot of ways Mays is similar as a pitcher to Scott Erickson, the nutball who won 20 games for the 1991 championship team. At their best they both rely on darting fastballs with a lot of movement; when both are really on they'll induce lots of groundballs and make hitters really flail. Unfortunately, like Erickson, Mays will probably have arm trouble off and on throughout his career. Anybody who watched him carefully last year knew he was destined to have elbow problems.
I also suspect that Mays--once again, like Erickson--will have a wildly inconsistent career, if he doesn't completely destroy his arm first. That said, I was pretty amazed to see him bounce back from his bad outing in the Oakland series to step up in game one against Anaheim, in a huge game in front of a capacity crowd. He came right out throwing strikes and mixing his pitches (first-pitch strikes to the first six batters he faced, and to 19 Anaheim hitters overall). He didn't walk anyone, and from the fifth through the eighth innings retired 12 batters in a row.
Given that Mays got two ground balls and a strikeout in the eighth, and had still not reached the 100-pitch mark, I was kind of surprised that Gardenhire took him out. I assumed at the time that this was a characteristic move on the part of the Twins manager; it would be just like Gardenhire to send a message to his team, the fans, and most importantly to Eddie Guardado by sending the closer right back out to the mound after his near-disaster in the fifth game in Oakland. Get him back on the horse. "Eddie's our guy, blah, blah, blah." After the game, however, Gardenhire intimated that Mays had all but asked to be taken out after the eighth.
"We asked him how he was doing and he told us, 'I can try to finish it, or Eddie can.' Which is not really what you want to hear. When a guy says, 'I'm good, I want it,' I'm giving him the ball. Joe definitely had the option to go back out for the ninth, but when he hesitated I knew I was going to Eddie."
That right there, in a nutshell, is the essential different at this point in his career, between Mays and guys like Radke and Eric Milton. I'm pretty sure that both of those guys would not have hesitated to let Gardenhire know that they wanted the ball.
And the fact is that the move to Eddie couldn't have worked out better--Guardado, this time with absolutely no margin for error, faced the heart of the Anaheim order and struck out Darrin Erstad, walked Tim Salmon, got Garrett Anderson to fly out to right field, and struck out Troy Glaus. So right out of the blocks Gardenhire managed to dispatch with all the Guardado speculation that was still hanging around from game five. That's just one more example of how positively *touched* this team seems. The two big questions that the huge national media contingent dragged into town on Monday--whether Guardadado could bounce back and the potential perils of starting Mays--have both evaporated in the first game.
The other big question, of course, is: is this the same Angels team that hit .376 in the Yankee series? And: are the Twins once again a team of destiny? Also: you realize, don't you, that your man Tony LaRussa in St. Louis is going to find some way to take that funeral train off the tracks? | 2019-04-19T11:11:22Z | http://www.citypages.com/news/it-begins-6700463 |

Because of how badly the economic problem has hit the world, I have done quite a bit of research on how it all started. I visited many sites proclaiming to have the answers. Maybe they did, but without a business degree, I couldn’t begin to comprehend.
This video does an amazing job of outlining the problem in a visually appealing, intellectually stimulating way that everyone can understand. I won’t waste your time outlining what it said, because I couldn’t do it justice, but everyone needs to talk about this and understand. Because to be ignorant, is to be among the problem.

Southern hospitality was at its finest the weekend of January 27-28 at EP Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, Kentucky. The following post and results were provided by the fabulous Oakle “Pete” Petrey.
The gym was rocking last weekend as Rodney (Rocket) Grubbs led a strong group of out-of-town players to the Inaugural E. P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park Pickleball Tournament. And, they took a big chunk of the medals home with them!
placed second in the MIXED DOUBLES event, won by Niles Cline and Diana Phillips, of Northern Kentucky.
Local players managed to hold there own, however, winning medals in each of the four events. Brenda Ferrell and Francie Kammer won the LADIES DOUBLES, and the team of John Tackett and Susan Kenney* edged out Ron Knorpp and Paul Cline for second place in MENS DOUBLES. Susan*and Chrissy Haywood finished third in MIXED DOUBLES.
*Although definitely not male, Susan Kenney was coaxed into playing in the MENS and MIXED DOUBLES because the men were short one player. One pundit named her the “Boy named Sue, Sounds like a good name for a song?
All of us are indebted to John Tackett for his herculean efforts in launching what, hopefully, will become an annual event at Sawyer Park. We gratefully acknowledge all the work done by many of the Sawyer Park staff, led by Zack Potts and Nick Price.
Bill and Nancy deserve special thanks. They arrived at 7:15 a.m. to welcome everyone.
The Hospitality Room was a huge success and all of the many who made contributions earned our gratitude of a job very well done.
Last, but not least was the appreciative crowd that supported the players. The WAVE that went around the gym several times was really great. | 2019-04-23T20:42:23Z | https://pickleballrocks.com/2012/01/ |

This one is about: What is a Sphincter Pharyngeoplasty?
What is a Sphincter Pharyngeoplasty?
I don't believe my PS plans on doing either a pharyngeal flap or a Z flap. He talked about a fairly new procedure ("to our area"). I am not sure of the name of the procedure but I believe it contains the word "sphincter". Do you or anyone else know what he might be talking about. He is a great surgeon but my wife does not like his bedside manner. This inhibits the level of questioning we put him through.
This procedure is called a Sphincter Pharyngeoplasty. They create a type of sphincter at the back of the throat by detaching, turning and reattaching mucosa in such a way as to give the child a structure she can use then to close off the extra space when talking.
Yes, it is a fairly new procedure. As far as whether it is the "best" is a matter of great debate -- but it is accepted and performed by a lot of teams. I think the bottom line is that EACH of the optional speech-related surgeries is the BEST for certain and specific children.
A pharyngeoplasty is a speech-related surgery in which the mucousal tissues of the pharynx are detached, twisted around, and re-attached in such a way as to create a sphincter-type structure that will allow Scotty the chance to get the closure he needs in the back of the throat. It is also called a Sphincter Pharyngeoplasty.
There are two other commonly used speech-related surgeries. Those are the Pharyngeal flap (a ledge is created between the soft palate and the back of the throat to close off the extra space) or a Double-Reversing Z-Plasty (or Furlow) in which the palate itself is made longer and more flexible the using a Z-plasty repair.
The surgery that Scotty is having today is gaining in popularity as a surgical procedure for the type of speech problem Scott has had. | 2019-04-20T19:00:03Z | http://www.widesmiles2.org/cleftlinks/WS-766.html |

Instruments have revolutionized how we look at the world and extended the range of our senses. The development of the modern scientific method and its emphasis on testable hypotheses required the ability to make quantitative and ever more accurate measurements. Instrumentation has often been cited as the pacing factor of research; the productivity of researchers is only as great as the tools they have available to observe, measure, and do research. Cutting-edge instruments not only enable new discoveries but help to make the production of knowledge more efficient. Many newly developed instruments are important because they enable us to explore phenomena with more precision and speed. Advanced tools enable scientists to answer increasingly complex questions, and new findings in turn enable the development of more powerful and sometimes novel instruments.
University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC) was created with the objective to uplift the quality of research in basic as well as applied field of sciences. Under the leadership of the present Vice-Chancellor, Prof.Dr.N.Rajendran, the USIC is taking initiative to maximize the use of expensive/sophisticated equipments in the University through training and maintaining the equipments at the state of the art level. Further, this advanced facility is also being extended to the research fraternity from nearby Institutions at a very affordable cost.
At present the following instrumental facilities are provided by the USIC.
It is a high-resolution system that provides excellent imaging capabilities at atomic-scale resolution as well as direct video access to the scan area. It is ideal for polymer, general surface characterization and materials applications. Large Multi Purpose Scanner Range 90µm x 90µm, Z range 8µm, Vertical noise 0.5Å RMS and small scanner range 9µm x 9µm, Z range 2µm, Vertical noise <0.2Å RMS and sample plate size 4mm x 4mm.
The Raman microscope can offer a powerful non-destructive and non-contact method of sample analysis. The true confocal mapping performance /imaging are of the highest definition and resolution. The sophisticated software and hardware enables fast and accurate Raman images to be obtained routinely.
The system offers an affordable solution for high-throughput, high-quality phase identification and quantification.
The Quanta FEG‐250 SEM instrument is an environmental Scanning Electron Microscope used for high‐resolution imaging and composition analysis by energy dispersive X‐ray microanalysis (EDS). The FEG column in Quanta 250 allows beam deceleration, which permits to achieve a resolution of 1.4 nm even at 1 kV electron landing voltage. The Quanta equipment can work under three different pressure ranges, the maximum pressure being 2600 Pa. This permits observation of life‐sciences samples without previous metallic coating, i.e., studies in environmental conditions (ESEM).
MALDI is the abbreviation for "Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption /Ionization." The sample for MALDI is uniformly mixed in a large quantity of matrix. The matrix absorbs the ultraviolet light (nitrogen laser light, wavelength 337 nm) and converts it to heat energy. A small part of the matrix (down to 100 nm from the top outer surface) heats rapidly (in several nano seconds) and is vaporized, together with the sample. The time of ion flight differs according to the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) value of the ion under applied constant potential. The method of mass spectrometry that exploits this phenomenon is called Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry.
Real-time PCR permits the analysis of the biological products while the reaction is actually in progress.

The modern "cube" platform is setting the standards for elemental analyzers. Less than 1 mg sample can be analyzed just as precise as 500 mg sample. Volatile gasoline or temperature-proof silicon carbide can be analyzed just like coal, foodstuff or sewage sludge - without restriction of the elements, simultaneously for CHNS or for the combinations CNS, CHN, CN, O and Cl. | 2019-04-22T16:09:00Z | https://www.alagappauniversity.ac.in/page/101 |
There’s a lot to think about when you’re running a pub, whether it’s a gastropub, a traditional drinker’s bar, or a party venue. And one item on your to do list should be making sure you’ve got the right insurance in place to protect you, your business and, most importantly, your customers. Here’s what you need to know.
I’m a pub landlord. What kind of insurance do I need?
Am I covered if cash gets stolen?
As a landlord, buying insurance might not be your favourite task, but we can help you understand what’s involved and how to choose the right policy at the right price.
public liability insurance - this could protect you if someone has an accident, is injured or their property is damaged on your property. If a customer slipped on a wet floor and broke their arm, you’d be liable as it’s your responsibility to make sure your property is safe. Public liability insurance could cover the cost of any legal fees or compensation.
employers’ liability insurance - if you employ anyone who isn’t a family member, you’ll need employer’s liability insurance – that’s the law. Employers’ liability insurance means you could be covered if one of your staff members gets sick or injured because of their work.
buildings insurance - buildings insurance is designed to cover any damage to the building itself. If you’re a tenant, that may not be your responsibility – it’s typically down to the owner to sort out buildings insurance. But if you own the pub, you should work out how much it would cost to rebuild the property, should the need arise, and take out buildings insurance for that amount. Remember, you don’t need to insure the building for its market value, or how much you paid for it.
contents insurance - covers everything inside the building in case of theft, vandalism or damage caused by fire or flood. Insurance providers often describe it as everything that would fall out if you turned the pub upside down. So that means glasses and furniture, while fixtures such as toilets and kitchen cabinets usually come under your buildings insurance.
Stock insurance - for a pub, stock insurance covers all the items you sell, including wines, beers and spirits, and food – which are going to be valuable.
You can buy optional cover to protect all money on the premises if it’s kept in a locked safe overnight.
What other insurance might I need?
To protect against lost revenue in case the pub can’t trade, landlords can buy business interruption insurance.
One type of insurance targeted specifically at pub landlords is loss of licence cover. Obviously, the pub couldn’t trade if you ever lost your licence, so this would mean you could be protected if ever that happened.
All you need to do is start a quote with us and we’ll help you find the most competitive prices for the different types of insurance you might need for your pub. | 2019-04-20T05:17:41Z | https://www.comparethemarket.com/business-insurance/pub/ |

Well Silkies, TIFF is right around the corner! For those of you who don't know, TIFF stands for Toronto International Film Festival. I have never been to TIFF but everyone keeps warning me that it is going to be INSANE. My friend and online retailer Matty Fabulous keeps telling me that the "city transforms" and I will be blown away by how many people come to the city. Being from Fredericton New Brunswick, I can't even imagine the streets of downtown Toronto having even more people on them.
This year I am participating in a style lounge with Hollywood North TO. Basically what that means is guests will be invited to browse luxury-style items and be dressed and styled for their Festival appearances during TIFF. This is an opportunity for me to put my products in front of film industry leaders and VIPs.
Silkies, I AM FREAKING OUT!!! You know me, I am celebrity OBSESSED. (I mean I will totally play it cool if I see an A-lister, but if I see Kim Kardashian I make no promises.) What Silkie swag am I hoping will make it onto the red carpet you ask? Over the past three years Adrienne Goodine and I have created a giant body of work together which we call ADRARA (a combination of both of our names). We have high-end luxury silk gowns, crop tops, dresses, and more, that I have hand dyed and printed and Adrienne has hand sewn. I am also going to bring items from my personal Spring/Summer collection including my Petra shorts, VanderSilk shorts, and Olsen slip dresses.
I can't wait to give you guys a behind the scenes look into my experience on Instagram @deesilkie so follow along and let me know what you think! Do you think there is a posability I could see Kim!? | 2019-04-23T15:00:36Z | https://deesilkie.com/blog/2018/9/1/getting-ready-for-tiff |

In a subsequent adventure, Haldan is challenged by Sivald, a high-ranking man with seven sons “skilled in the practice of sorcery.” Saxo describes their wild behavior.
Often, impelled by sudden strong fits of madness they would bellow wildly, bite at their shields, swallow hot coals and walk through any bonfire; nothing else could appease their frenzied bouts but rigorous chains or the slaughter of human beings.
Their skill in magic ties them to Odin, as does the fact that they are clearly berserks, members of the fierce warrior-clan associated with the cult of Odin in literary and artistic sources. Snorri’s description of the berserk lines up very closely with Saxo’s, and the Icelander makes the connection to Odin explicit.
Odin could make his enemies battle-blind, or deaf, or panic-struck, and their weapons so blunt that they could cut no better than a willow-wand; but his own men dashed forward without armor, and became as frenzied as dogs or wolves. They chewed their shield-rims, and became as strong as bears or bulls, and slaughtered people at a single stroke, but neither fire nor iron could touch them.
Once again, Haldan is in conflict with representatives of Odin. Sivald demands that Haldan face him and his seven sons all at once, taunting him with disparaging comments as Odin himself taunts Thor in Hárbarðsljóð. Haldan again turns to Thor’s oak for help: “As it happened, he was walking through a tract of shady woodland when he tore up by its roots an oak which blocked his path, and by simply stripping off its branches shaped it into a hefty cudgel.” This giant armament is elsewhere described by Saxo as a club, truncheon and giant hammer, combining the various forms of Thor’s mystic weapon.
Haldan also displays the Bunyanesque stature of Thor, who stands on the bottom of the ocean while fishing from its surface and wears the giant Hymir’s ale-kettle (which is “a league deep”) on his head. The Danish hero shows again that he is divinely “rock-strong” as he uproots an oak and uses it as a club. He vanquishes his challengers with the wooden weapon, suggesting that they, like Hakon and Snorri’s berserks, have the Odinic power of blunting swords. In the end, however, “their vigorous ardor was useless against the extraordinary mass of his truncheon.” Thor-given strength again overcomes Odin-inspired magic.
Haldan’s next opponent is another Odinic berserk, albeit one who also exhibits characteristics of Thor’s traditional enemies, the giants. Harthben is described by Saxo in the same terms as the earlier berserks (shield-chewing, coal-swallowing, fire-running, prone to murderous fits). What makes Harthben different is the fact that he stands almost sixteen feet tall (!) and spends his time kidnapping and violating high-ranking aristocratic princesses.
The giants of Norse myth are frequently found abducting (or plotting to abduct) the loveliest of the goddesses. Idun and Freya are, in contemporary terms, far out of the giants’ league. Thor is usually the one who takes on the job of protecting the godly women’s honor and avenging the wrongs done to them, and his champion plays a similar role. Haldan defeats the beserk giant in one of the quickest battles in Saxo: “[Harthben] then went for Haldan, who smashed him down with the giant hammer and deprived him of life and victory.” This abbreviated ending is reminiscent of Thor’s own giant-battles, in which the god invariably makes quick work of his outsized foes.
Haldan’s last three adventures likewise present adversaries with a mixture of Odinic and giantlike qualities. First, Haldan overthrows a pirate named Eggther who shares his name with the guardian of the Ironwood giantess in Völuspá ("Prophecy of the Seeress"). Second, Haldan disguises himself before challenging a warrior named Grimmi who has been demanding the daughter of a prince under threat of violence. Grimmi has the Odinic power of blunting a sword with his gaze, but Haldan has cleverly brought along a backup sword and emerges victorious. Haldan’s fury at Grimmi’s demands on the young woman again echoes Thor’s righteous anger as he defends the goddesses.
In Haldan’s final outing, he confronts Ebbi, “a pirate of peasant stock” who attempts to force a marriage with the daughter of the king of Götaland. As Thor is deeply angered by giants looking for brides above their station, Haldan seems strongly motivated by a desire to enforce class boundaries, providing a fine rant that demands “in tones of utmost rage what raving madness had brought [Ebbi] to such a pitch of insolence, presuming to mingle his own vile, contemptible species with outstanding nobility, daring to lay serf’s hands on a royal personage.” In fact, this emphasis on class may come from Saxo himself; he repeatedly demonstrates a strong belief in the inviolability of class structure throughout his History. Cambridge’s Hilda Ellis Davidson writes that “the idea that union between a person of noble birth and another from a lower social class is disgraceful and unforgiveable receives considerable prominence in Saxo.” The historian is neither the first nor last to write his own sociopolitical views onto mythical or legendary figures.
Haldan attends the wedding, destroying “all appearance of his kingly grandeur by assuming a hideous disguise and, coming upon the wedding at night, spread fear when all who met him were thunderstruck at the arrival of this man of superhuman size.” Thunderstruck, indeed – Haldan’s disguised appearance at the wedding is reminiscent of the poem Þrymskviða (“Thrym’s Poem”), in which Thor disguises himself a the goddess Freya in a bridal gown and pretends to marry a giant in order to win back his stolen hammer. As the human wedding guests are amazed by Haldan’s appearance (he seems to have disguised himself as a giant), the giant guests are amazed that Freya/Thor has such a huge appetite and such a fierce gaze.
In the end, Saxo’s portrayal of Haldan sits on the third stage of the descent of religion. What begins as (1) religion devolves into (2) myth, (3) legend, (4) tale, and (5) superstition. I suppose we can now add (6) comics and (7) movies! Historically, Thor begins as a sky-god feared and worshiped by his followers before becoming a character in myth – and what is myth but religion that is no longer believed? Haldan exists in the next stage, the world of legend. He embodies cultic aspects of Thor’s religious worship (calling on Thor for help in dangerous times, ritual use of the oak tree); we can also sense the faded echoes of conflict between the cults of Thor and Odin. Haldan’s adventures allude to or retell myths of Thor in the legendary, human (or superhuman) realm. Like other heroes of legend (Beowulf, Siegfried), he brings mystic tales of myth down to the earthly level. By extrapolating backwards from these legends, we make a small step towards reverse-engineering and understanding a pan-Germanic religion and mythology that only exists in tantalizing fragments.
I found this to be a good post. I myself have written on heroes such as these, in specific the daughter of Hrothgar of Beowulf legend. | 2019-04-22T04:30:02Z | https://www.norsemyth.org/2011/03/champion-of-thor-part-three.html |
Kensington Palace released the official portraits of the royal family from Prince Louis’s christening last Monday, and the kids are more than all right. The photos, taken after the ceremony at the Chapel Royal in St. James’s Palace, show the royal family along with 11-week-old Prince Louis.
Pippa Middleton and husband James Matthews (who are expecting their first child sometime this winter) are pictured in the first portrait along with Pippa and Kate’s younger brother, James Middleton, and mother and father.
Finally, while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry look adorable with the hand-in-elbow pose, we think Charlotte (who gazes lovingly at Louis while holding the baby's hand) and George (whose smile stretches from ear to ear) take the portrait cake. | 2019-04-20T22:43:35Z | https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-louis-official-christening-photos |
A while back, I participated in an online discussion about the relative importance of high culture versus popular culture. In the discussion, there were some arguing that high art has a special place above mere "popular" art. I made the point that much of what we consider today to be "high art" was made by craftsmen working to please a patron for a payday, and that renders the distinction between the two less clear than it may seem.
As strange as it sounds, a production artist on a movie or in an advertising house works under virtually the same constraints as Michelangelo: he is paid to deliver a certain piece in a certain medium by a date specified by someone else. And once one understands that "high art" and "popular art" in western culture have almost always shared a commercial motivation, enforcing boundaries between the two categories become more difficult.
I paint at an art school that teaches traditional and Renaissance drawing and painting methods; Bistre & Verdaccio underpainting as well as direct painting. But the school also teaches manga, superhero comics, illustration, origami, and has even given classes on miniatures painting. The director of the school told me that a student once complained to him that someone was painting a cowboy in one of the Renaissance painting classes. "Why is he painting that in this class?" His reply: "he just likes cowboys."
Here is a person who has every reason to look down at pop art, a person who has spent his whole life immersed in classical Western tradition and has forgotten more about Renaissance painting than most anyone will ever know, waxing enthusiastic about cowboys and "mere" comic book artists. It changes one's perspective.
I am in favor of standards, just not standards that depend on the age of a piece or an arbitrarily determined list of classics. Sure, Michaelangelo is great: but not because he's old; it's because he spent a lifetime honing and mastering a craft, and his work shows that. So does the work of Bernie Wrightson.
Right now is truly a unique time to be alive -- the luxury of leisure time has allowed large numbers of people an opportunity to both consume and even produce art in incredible quantities -- far more than a single person could ever absorb in an entire lifetime. Let's celebrate the skill and passion, and not worry so much about creating a canon.
" The traveler is active; he goes strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'"
have I mentioned that I really hate researching insurance providers and policies?
Since last fall, I've been playing the fifth edition of the venerable role-playing game, and it has rekindled my passion for all things D&D.
I haven't really acted as a Dungeon Master in more than ten years. So my group started with the introductory adventure that comes with the D&D 5e Basic Set. It turned out to be a modern classic! We just transitioned into Storm King's Thunder, and it looks to be another terrific adventure.
Being the game's referee can be a big time commitment all by itself, but I've added a whole new dimension to the DM's chore: after each session, I write the story of what happened. I've tried to write these like episodes of a show or chapters in novella, rather than merely mechanical summaries of the game. It's a time-consuming challenge, but I've been enjoying it immensely! A worthy respite from the horrible things that are happening in the world. Check it out if you have time to kill.
"I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. ... But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."
I voted for you twice. I have been an ardent supporter, and I was proud of the way in which you worked to oppose President Trump's nominations, particularly Betsy DeVos and Jeff Sessions. I also lauded your efforts to push for thorough investigations of Russian election tampering, and to fight the Republican legislative agenda. I have called your office to thank you for all of these things.
So when Leeann Tweeden wrote her essay last week, as a constituent and genuine admirer, I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt -- you have worked hard for Minnesota, and you have championed many of the issues that are personally important to me.
I cannot, however, ignore the second set of allegations against you that were published this morning in the StarTribune. For the good of Minnesota, I think it is time for you to make arrangements to end your career in the senate.
I did not weigh in publicly before now, because I was trying to be patient, and I was experiencing so many conflicting feelings. After your eloquent and personal apology to Leeann Tweeden and her acceptance of it, I breathed a sigh of relief and I was prepared to move on. From my remote vantage point, it seemed as though Tweeden was at least open to the idea that whatever happened between the two of you was a misunderstanding.
This second story recasts all of that. The incident occurred at the State Fair - the quintessentially Minnesotan family-oriented event. It was openly discussed by the accuser at the time, and it happened when you were our sitting senator. Even though what is alleged by the second woman is not as bad as what Tweeden said happened to her, it is still terrible, and perhaps worse in its own way: it happened in a context where your conduct should have been far beyond reproach.
I am not saying this out of fear of the narrative that will be spun in some circles -- people often tell tales regardless of truth. My concern is the actual harm that you did to these women. For that, you should step down. Minnesota needs a senator who better represents the values of the progressive movement.
This is not an easy letter to write, and it is not a knee-jerk reaction -- this is my considered opinion as a voter in Minnesota. I have spent a great deal of the last four days thinking and listening to people -- especially women -- and now that I have heard a second accuser step forward, I have come to a realization: you can no longer effectively serve us, your constituents. This story will follow you wherever you go, and it will render you irrelevant at best. I shudder to contemplate the worst-case scenario.
I would rather not take a chance on a special election. But these allegations are not going to go away.
Please do the right and honorable thing. Make us proud one more time. | 2019-04-25T09:45:52Z | http://knightofnothing.blogspot.com/ |

I woke up last night by the sound of commotion in my dining room. I went into the room to see what was going on and when I flipped on the light, I saw Humphrey Bogart’s ghost, sitting at my kitchen table. The Bogart who was at my table was not a later in life Bogey, but a man in his prime, dressed in a trench coat, hat and smoking a cigarette in a way that only Bogart could. He also looked quite agitate and when I asked him what the problem was, he bluntly answered my question.
This seemed to calm him down a bit and looked really quite pleased with my selection. I could tell he wanted to ask me something so I waited for him to speak again.
I really did not want to answer this question, but I did not know the rules on being visited by a ghost of one of Hollywood’s most famous stars, so I decided to play it safe and answer truthfully. I took a second, steeled my nerves, and answered the question.
By this time, I could tell Bogart was getting a little defensive about the film. His smoking had become more agitated and his eyes were bulging out of his head.
Bogart- “The movie was not about the murder or anyone investigating the crime. The film was out to explore the obsessive nature of Steele’s relationship with Gloria. The acting was supposed to be over dramatic and characters thin. The director, Nicholas Ray, mined similar territory a few years later with Rebel Without a Cause and that is lauded as a masterpiece and you like that film.
Me- “Your character’s name, Dix Steele, that name brought me many moments of enjoyment.
Bogart, at this time near there was no changing my mind. He stood up and was fading away when I realized I had to ask him one more question.
Me- “Mr. Bogart sir, I have one last question. In heaven, does the plot of The Big Sleep actually make sense? | 2019-04-19T08:32:09Z | http://www.cantstopthemovies.com/2010/11/noir-vember-day-27-in-a-lonely-place-1950/ |
