Out of the Pacific skies last week, World War II came with startling suddenness to America. It was 7:35 a.m. on a Sunday morning — the aggressors’ favorite day–when two Japanese planes, wearing on their wings the Rising Sun of Japan, flew out of the western sky over the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
Japan had seized the initiative and was making the most of the aggressor’s privilege to strike the first blow.
With reckless daring Japan aimed this blow at the citadel of American power in the Pacific, the great naval fortress of Pearl Harbor. Close observers of Japan have said for years that if that country ever found itself in a hopeless corner it was capable of committing national hara-kiri by flinging itself at the throat of its mightiest enemy. Japan has found itself in just such a corner. It could not retreat without losing all and it could not advance another step without war.
Japan’s daring was matched only by its barefaced duplicity. There was no warning — not even such an ultimatum as Hitler is wont to send while his legions pour across some new border.
At the very moment the first bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, Japan’s two envoys in Washington were in Secretary Hull’s office at the State Department, making their blandest protestations of peaceful intent. Ambassador Nomura and Envoy Kurusu had come with the answer to Hull’s note. He read it through and then, for the first time in many long, patient years, the soft-spoken Secretary lost his temper.
The two Japanese scurried out of his office and home to their Embassy. Even as Hull spoke, America sprang to arms. Wherever it was in the wide ocean, the U. S. Fleet went into action and all over the Pacific U. S. garrisons stood ready.
In Washington, President Roosevelt dictated his war message to Congress. From Army and Navy headquarters, the prearranged orders went out which transformed the U. S. into a nation at war.
How much or how long it would take to lick Japan, no man could say. The U.S. Navy has always been supremely confident of its ability to sink the Japanese Fleet in open battle or, if the enemy ships refused battle, to strangle the island empire by blockade.
In recent months, the vulnerable Philippine station has been strengthened by the addition of squadrons of heavy bombers. With new British warships at Singapore, plus the combined land-air strength of the British, Dutch and Australian forces, America has a long-range superiority over Japan. It may be, indeed, that America’s greatest danger is overconfidence.
There will surely be more naval losses and more strong attacks on American islands because Japan has a strategic and tactical advantage at the outset of this Pacific war. It will take not only all-out U. S. military might but great persistence and great courage to hurl back attack and to win the final victory. | 2019-04-21T12:34:56Z | https://clickamericana.com/topics/war-topics/war-japan-launches-reckless-attack-us-1941 |
An international survey of older adults finds that seniors in the United States are sicker than their counterparts in 10 other high-income countries and face greater financial barriers to health care, despite the universal coverage that Medicare provides. Across all the countries, few elderly adults discuss mental health concerns with their primary care providers. Moreover, nearly a quarter are considered "high need" — meaning they have three or more chronic conditions or require help with basic tasks of daily living.

As the Chief Innovation and Information Officer for NCARB, Ortiz de Zarate has relied upon agile and lean startup methodologies to project manage big changes to the processes NCARB uses to certify future architects. He has also helped build Lineup, a software platform that helps organizations efficiently manage talent and form teams with diverse strengths. We talked with him about improving processes using lean startup methodology and what his goals are for NCARB.
Association Adviser: What career path led you to the CIO position at NCARB?
Guillermo Ortiz de Zarate: Since high school I’ve been a tech professional. I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and after 15 years of working in the city, the company I was working for that was headquartered in Washington, DC offered me a promotion and relocation package. I moved to the United States in 1999 thinking I was coming for a couple years, but haven’t left.
AA: What made relocating to the U.S. attractive?
GO: Working in the U.S. would enhance my resume. I was pretty young to be leading a software development shop. For me to gain experience in the U.S. was going to be great for my career. I also had 9-month old twins when I relocated. That was a big change, but we were young and fearless to leave our support systems 5,000 miles behind. When I would return [to Argentina], I planned to pursue my leadership track.
But back home, the economic situation changed in Argentina around 2001. There was an economic crisis, devaluation of the Argentinian peso and an 18 percent unemployment rate. In contrast, I had an interesting job [in DC] and my company was sponsoring my green card. It didn’t make sense to go back.
I stayed with that company until 2005, then did some work with a small marketing agency startup that was in the business of providing custom website solutions to clients for a couple of years until an opportunity to work in IT for the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards came by. At this point, I’d been dealing with the U.S.’s immigration process for six and a half years, and felt like I shouldn’t be in this country just to help make companies money, but to give back to people. I saw parallels between immigration and customs, and NCARB: If you want to call yourself an architect, you must have a license in one or more of the 50 states and five U.S. territories, and NCARB facilitates that licensing. Back in 2007, people seeking architect licenses hated NCARB because dealing with the organization felt like an impediment to achieving their goal of practicing architecture.
I felt similarly frustrated by the impersonal aspect of being one case among millions to the office of immigration. There was no context of my family and the fact that their livelihood depended upon the outcome of my pending citizenship status.
So when I read online reviews of NCARB while applying for the IT job, my initial thought was, “If I can do anything to help this organization and these architects, I should do it.” I was offered the position of assistant director of information technology and accepted it.
AA: Have you achieved your goal of helping people through NCARB?
GO: My drive was to modernize a paper-oriented bureaucracy into a more efficient business, and yes, I’ve been part of a group of individuals who, guided by good leadership, have achieved this goal. NCARB’s leadership has allowed an incredible transformation of our organization that deserves a whole chapter unto itself. NCARB is now considered a thought leader because we push the envelope on all our processes. We walk a fine line between providing regulatory processes that help protect the health, safety and welfare of the general public while providing excellent customer service to the people trying to become licensed. The latest generation of licensure candidates sees us as a partner on their quest to become licensed architects — a big change from 10 years ago.
At the time, the organization was too narrowly focused on too few tasks. NCARB was pretty siloed. Our colleagues were only looking at immediate needs for the programs they managed; there was little understanding of what the whole picture meant. If you did step back, you could see that all of our services are interconnected and we are all serving the same people. So, defining a North Star vision of where we wanted to be, then finding intermediate steps to achieve that vision was key. It was a gradual process.
We’ve also transformed the way we serve states and their offices to ensure they’re licensing competent professionals who won’t harm the public. On top of that, because of all the investments and money we’ve spent upgrading our tech, we can take on more work and more candidates.
We like to say we are a countercyclical organization compared to the rest of the economy: When work isn’t available elsewhere, people who were thinking of getting licensed do it because they need to differentiate themselves for more competitive positions. Since 2008 and the beginning of the most recent economic recession, NCARB has almost doubled its income from $16 million to $30 million. We were processing about 60,000 people in the entire industry in 2008; we now service about 120,000 individuals each year.
AA: What tech solutions did you use to increase capacity?
GO: A mixture of in-house developed software and best-of-class off-the-shelf software to achieve a holistic enterprise asset of information.
First, we attacked low-hanging fruit by re-engineering some business processes. We looked at how a process might help everyone, and not just a small group of people, so that every NCARB process contributed to the greater good. We earned some quick wins on the operations side by focusing on what we were doing inefficiently. The goal was to manage data input so that data is entered just once and managed in a way that keeps it clean. Our vision was to maintain and achieve a single source of truth and serve it at the right time in the right format.
One of first candidate-focused projects we created was an online experience verification system. Aspiring architects must log a certain number of approved employed hours to obtain their license, and NCARB staff would verify those hours by double-checking who employed them, what kind of experience they were gaining, and how many hours they recorded. It was a very cumbersome, paper-based process that took six to seven months to complete a single paper form. Our online verification system immediately created better efficiencies and increased capacities for everyone involved while reducing data errors by 95 percent!
Ortiz de Zarate and his IT team brought the paper-based architectural experience verification system online in the late 2000s, significantly reducing the amount of time it took verify candidates’ approved employed hours and reducing data errors by 95 percent. Photo courtesy of NCARB.
Moreover, it created an opportunity to connect operations with other side of the house, our programs and standards, and continue NCARB’s transformation. We use practicing architects from all around the US to research and develop standards that the state licensing boards then choose to adopt. Our cycle looks five to six years into the future to determine what are the knowledge, skills, and abilities that define minimum competence in architecture to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Bringing our processes up to 21st century speed help the licensure candidates navigate the path to licensure with a much better experience, and the staff and our volunteers work make sound regulatory decisions that are based on insights coming from our own data practices.
AA: Why the focus on data?
GO: We’re in the business of evaluating people’s competence. We can only do that if we have secure and reliable data about them. The moment you have unreliable, competing data, how sure can we be that this person will competently practice architecture?
AA: You’re a proponent of lean startup methodology, and have co-authored a paper [with Elizabeth Engel, CAE] about applying the data-driven lean startup principles to association innovation. What is it?
GO: Lean startup helps you test assumptions and risks as early as possible, and guides you toward making adjustments as early as possible so that your organization doesn’t invest a lot of time and resources into solving a problem that is not worth solving. There is no free lunch, everything is a tradeoff and when you choose to work on one initiative you are choosing not to work on another one. It is important to know you are working on the right thing.
For example: Your boss wants the organization to hold a workshop. You could spend six months planning it if you assume there’s an audience for it. But if you don’t validate that assumption until you open registration, you might have invested a lot of time and money into something that isn’t actually needed or wanted. Lean startup says, first validate the assumption that there’s an audience who would pay to come listen to a speaker at a workshop. If the demand is there, then use the agile methodology to make the event the most useful it can be.
Lean startup holds people accountable for their ideas before they execute them. You jump on discovery and make sure the problem is something that needs solving. I fell in love with lean startup because I looked back at NCARB’s processes and thought, knowing what I know now, I would have tried to influence our organization to approach our transformation differently, in a way that would ensure we were working on the right projects first.
AA: Did you use lean startup principles at during this efficiency transformation at NCARB?
GO: Not quite. I started at NCARB in 2007 but didn’t learn about lean startup methodology until 2013.
But before that, we operated using agile methodology, sparking a revolution in the organization around culture. In my department we started hiring more intrinsically motivated people that love tech and helping the people here, and weren’t motivated so much for the paycheck as for the goal of delivering value. And with that new culture, we adopted scrum (one of the versions of the agile methodology) to deliver value in software development, data management, infrastructure, and even help desk processes.
Agile methodology flips the famous iron triangle of project management (scope, time, and money), teaching that instead of telling people what they should do, how, and by when, you tell them what is needed and why, agreeing on a delivery date and a fixed amount of money and resources. The team can then decide what can get done with those constraints and continuously checks in small iterations if the progress is going in the right direction. People then feel part of the solution and more committed to get it done. They’re empowered to do what they think they can do. They’re not being told how or when to do it. They’re treated as contributing adults!
That little culture development started slowly creating buzz around NCARB. We were a high-performing team still enjoying our weekends. Some other teams were overworked and not delivering as much. So our team created an initiative to bring this method to the rest of the organization.
Agile movement is a culture and practice change. Instead of trying to guess how long something will take and how much it will cost, you focus on what’s most important within your time and resource constraints. It’s called agile because you work in small time frames (as little as two weeks). It allows a lot of scope change in high-uncertainty environments. There was a lot our IT team didn’t know about how things operate in the rest of the organization. But we’d gather at checkpoints often to ensure were were remaining on a sustainable track. In 2013, I started sprinkling the lean startup method into our agile movement to find if the problems we were solving were the right ones as early as possible.
AA: How can technology assist an association wanting to grow?
GO: Many of the reasons we’ve been successful is because leadership understood from the start that tech cannot be not an afterthought. It’s not something that complicatedly takes away money and resources without a return on that investment. NCARB is in the business of managing information, and tech is an integral part of that business. We have partners, internal and external, trying to do the same thing. NCARB’s environment and the long leash I’ve been given allows me to lead. Many CEOs wonder when the tech spending will end, but we know it’s part of the business.
AA: You’ve created a volunteer management software system. Tell us about it! How will it benefit associations?
GO: Lineup is the result of maturity in our organization. Once we dealt with our immediate process improvements, I had time to ask the people running our ancillary processes what their biggest problems were and how we could help solve them. We spoke with volunteer committees about the standards they create (our national exam for instance, the ARE®), with the architects affected by those standards, and with the president of the board. The more I talked to the volunteers, the more I discovered that the impact of their decisions was huge! They were making recommendations about our standards that affected generations of architects.
After we had all those conversations, we realized our inefficiencies weren’t a process problem. It was a strategy problem. The people on these committees matter, not just politically but intellectually. However, we had limited amount of spots on committees and more than enough talent to fill those. How could we help our committees make better teams? We built Lineup to enable better understanding of the talent available, the needs of teams, and how to strategically match talent to teams. Keeping in mind that there are multiple teams that need the same talent, how do we get 20 good teams, and not one excellent team and 19 crappy teams? It has been transformational for NCARB.
AA: How can associations use this?
GO: Lineup is versatile enough that anyone can use it for any type of team, volunteer or staff management. We now use Lineup to give people on our staff chances to grow in their professional knowledge and to ensure that our teams are diverse in strengths.
AA: What are your goals for Lineup software over the next couple of years?
GO: We have recently spun it off as a for-profit company. I hope to make it THE tool for making better teams by partnering with other software applications that would complement Lineup and make life easier for people. The goal is always to help people.
AA: What are your goals for NCARB over the coming year?
GO: We’ve done a good job at transforming the organization, managing our data and helping people. We’re starting to expand our circle of influence. Some of the software we’ve built in house we’re offering to state jurisdictions to help them manage their stakeholders.
The challenge I see in the next couple of years is retention of the great talent we have. We’re a small association in a highly competitive geographic area. Now that Amazon is coming to Northern Virginia, finding creative ways of attracting and retaining talent will be tough. Currently, my retention is great — not because my colleagues are stuck (they’re brilliant), but because we work to create an environment that is a two-way street of value creation and career development. I put a lot of effort into helping people grow in their professional knowledge and career. They’ve grown more than NCARB itself. The promise of growing here has come true for them.
AA: In terms of your job, what keeps you up at night?
GO: I have lot on my plate and I might be overworked but I’m not stressed. I enjoy what I do; coming to work, and the product and value we give people. I’m a happy guy. I’m not really stressed.
AA: One more question: Did it work out with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services?
GO: Yes, I became a U.S. citizen five years ago! A happy ending. | 2019-04-21T03:02:11Z | https://www.naylor.com/associationadviser/guillermo-ortiz-de-zarate/ |
The environmental movement has struggled to diversify its ranks for many years. A new coalition is building up some cold, hard facts on nonprofit and foundation staffing to increase accountability, and five major funders have opted in to the process. Are things turning around?
It would be a cliché to talk about the lack of diversity in environmentalism if it weren’t for the fact that in 2015, it is both extremely real and a serious weakness for the movement. A study just last year by Dorceta Taylor, a professor at the University of Michigan, found that only about 12 percent of staff at environmental NGOs and foundations are people of color, even though that number is 36 percent in the general population.
The same initiative that put out that report, Green 2.0, is trying to add some accountability to what, based on numbers, appears to be mostly lip service when it comes to building a diverse, mainstream environmental movement. Green 2.0 is partnering with Guidestar, D5 Coalition, and New America Media to gather better data on diversity at nonprofits and foundations. The idea is to add accountability through Guidestar profiles, but also to create a baseline of data to figure out what exactly is going on here.
The partnership recently announced that five of the leading green funders in the country have agreed to share their diversity data—Bullitt Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
Of those, Hewlett in particular is an impressive addition, given its assets of $8.6 billion and its 112 employees. From standpoints of visibility and leadership and funding, Hewlett putting a stake in the ground is significant.
These efforts to improve transparency make for a great first step toward accountability, but clearly, there’s still a long way to go.
We’ve written a fair amount lately about a variety of reasons thqt funders are beginning to focus more on diversity. And there are some green funders and nonprofits that have made the issues of justice, poverty, and equality core to their missions.
But it needs to work its way to the mainstream, as we’ve written about with releation to tech and diversity. More than a moral or strategic problem, lack of diversity reveals a fundamental flaw in the movement—environmentalism as a niche issue. In other words, the idea that an environmentalist looks like Sean Connery in Medicine Man, instead of a mother in Detroit.
The Sierra Club learned this lesson the hard way. Still recovering from an embarrassing brush with an anti-immigration stance in the late 1990s, Executive Director Michael Brune has made the organization a vocal and financial supporter of increased diversity and Green 2.0.
And it does feel like more green groups are recognizing this, especially as climate change thrusts environmental issues into so many other spheres. Consider the show of solidarity from green groups toward communities of color following police shootings in Missouri and New York. Deirdre Smith at 350.org made a powerful case for connecting the issues on the group’s blog.
It’s a cultural shift, but one that foundations can certainly advance, both leading by example, and simply shutting off the spigot for groups that aren’t taking steps. They have the power and the bird’s-eye view to shift support away from a stubborn mainstream and toward more community and justice groups, as NRDC CEO Rhea Suh suggested recently.
Hopefully, projects like the one Green 2.0 and Guidestar are taking on will provide more tools for accountability, so funders will lead by example, and with their wallets, to accelerate the process. | 2019-04-20T20:35:29Z | https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/2015/3/13/is-the-tide-finally-going-to-turn-for-green-diversity.html |

Example best practices and the questions you need to ask to determine if your plant is using them.
Visiting plants in different corners of the world, we often are asked: “What are the current best practices for preventive maintenance (PM)?” We usually answer that we define preventive maintenance using 95 key elements. We also point out, to some people’s dismay, that there is no single silver bullet for improving PM, but rather many combined efforts will be required to eventually yield results.
Here are a few key elements that have been extracted from our program of Current Best Practices (CBP) along with test questions and best practice (BP) examples to help you gauge how well your plant practices measure up.
Do you have a definition for preventive maintenance?
Interview test: Ask people in maintenance and operations to define what is included in preventive maintenance.
BP example: We have a definition of preventive maintenance that is documented, understood, and well communicated across our plant.
Having a definition of preventive maintenance is important for good communication in meetings, improvement efforts, and training seminars. For example, are detailed cleaning, balancing, and alignment part of preventive maintenance? Is operator inspection part of PM? Are operating practices part of PM?
We have often attended meetings or interviews where we are told a plant is continuously working on improving preventive maintenance. When we ask for the plant’s definition of PM, we notice that there are as many definitions of PM as there are people. How can we expect to improve PM if we are not clear on what PM really is? We define PM as essential care and condition monitoring (PM/ECCM) as shown in Fig. 1. Perhaps you can use the definition in your plant.
Do you know how satisfactory PM is done today?
BP: Plant management is aware of strengths and weaknesses of the PM program. The plant therefore has specific plans and timelines in place for improvement actions.
The experience of Ian Farrell, maintenance manager at UPM-Kymmene in Scotland, illustrates the awareness factor. Farrell, whose company has deployed the CBP education and training assessment in several plants in the United Kingdom, expressed the experience of interviewing people in the plants in a presentation at a recent maintenance conference.
"The questions become more specific and the interviewee downgrades the statement to 'I think we do it.' Time passes and questions around, for example, alignment standards, condition monitoring routes, and operator involvement make the interviewee think of what good PM really is, and the statement is changed to 'Somebody told me we did it.' When we finally have defined what best practices in preventive maintenance are and there is a stack of coffee mugs, the person muses, 'We used to do it all the time.'"
By first defining what PM is, and then educating and training people in the current state of their actual PM performance, the groundwork for improvement is laid.
Do you have an alignment standard, and is it followed?
Test: Ask for an alignment standard and check quality of standard. Go look at equipment for signs of good or poor alignment.
BP: There is a well-documented alignment standard. More importantly, the standard is followed.
In a world-class reliability and maintenance organization, all alignments are done to 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) for equipment running below 3600 rpm and 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) for equipment running above 3600 rpm. There is a well-defined alignment standard explaining how to set up, clean, check for pipe strain, check for soft foot, etc.
Take a tour of your plant. If alignment is done well there are jacking bolts (push bolts) installed on all motors, gears, and other equipment of significance. Bases and foundations are in good condition and no more than four shims are used under the motor feet (Fig. 2). Overall vibration level is low in the plant (0.1 in./sec unfiltered average). As a tracking indicator, see if alignment records are kept for each alignment job.
Do you have a lubrication standard, and it is followed?
Test: The standard should include storage, handling, filtering, and cleanliness of lubricants. Visually check cleanliness of storage areas and handling.
BP: There is a well-documented lubrication standard. More importantly, the standard is followed.
The cleanliness standard for each piece of equipment should match the clearances in the equipment’s lubricated surfaces. For example, a hydraulic unit may need to be filtered down to 3 microns (200 beta) and a gearbox to 12 microns (75 beta).
In order to reach the right cleanliness levels of lubricants, oil and grease have to be stored, handled, and filtered correctly. Few people know that new oil usually is delivered at around 40 microns cleanliness level, which means that oil going into equipment with fine clearances should be filtered.
Are inspections (condition monitoring) done where it is cost effective to do so?
Test: Go through inspection lists, check for level of detail, and make sure the route is actually completed.
BP: There are inspection routes for all mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation equipment (where it is cost effective to have inspections).
In a top-notch plant, inspections are documented and completed according to schedule. The plant is using an inspection list or, even better, a handheld computer. The list or handheld computer describes exactly what to do for each inspection. The inspections are a combination of measuring condition and subjective (look, listen, feel, smell) inspections.
Most inspections are completed while equipment is operating because we do not want to waste valuable shutdown/offline time on inspections that could be done on the run. Inspections can usually be done better when equipment is operating. For example, a pump cannot really be inspected well when it is down since there are no vibration, no operating pressures, and no seal water flow.
Do we have condition monitoring routes covering all necessary inspections?
Do we use simple inspection tools such as a stroboscope, infrared thermometer, vibration pen, industrial stethoscope, bright flashlights (500,000 candela), and inspection mirrors?
Can we inspect couplings, belts, and chains on the run, or do guards make it impossible (Fig. 3)?
Are inspections being done? Are oil glasses clean enough to see oil levels, are base bolts clean enough to check tightness,etc.?
Are people educated and trained in basic inspection techniques?
Is detailed cleaning of equipment done well?
Test: Take a walk in your plant and visually check the cleanliness and condition of the equipment.
BP: Detailed cleaning of equipment is done consistently. Dirty areas are redesigned in order to protect equipment from contamination.
Detailed cleaning can be checked easily. For example, a clean hydraulic unit can be inspected for leaks in about 10 sec by taking a quick look at the pan underneath the unit (Fig. 4). A dirty hydraulic unit would take 20-30 min to check for leaks.
Is an ultrasonic or vibration monitor used when greasing bearings?
BP: Vibration or ultrasonic levels (or other method) are checked while greasing in order to apply the correct amount of grease.
Greasing is done by measuring ultrasonic or vibration levels while applying grease to the bearing. It is almost impossible to know how much grease is applied to a bearing without a measurement. The measurement tools indicate to us when the grease hits the bearings and monitor the vibration or ultrasonic levels as grease is squeezed into the bearing. Over and under greasing can be avoided by using the right tools. An alternate method is to use a volume meter, assuming the required grease volume for the bearing is known.
Although just a sample of the 95 points we use to evaluate plant performance, these example tests and best practices demonstrate the methodology by which one can build a system for discussing performance levels.
Fig. 1. Essential Care (EC) includes preventing failure from occurring, with tasks such as detailed cleaning, lubrication, alignment, balancing, operating procedures, adjustments, and installation procedures. Fixed Time Maintenance (FTM) is all replacements that are done on a fixed schedule regardless of condition, e.g., programmed replacements and overhauls. Condition monitoring (CM) is all inspections from simple subjective look, listen, feel, smell inspections done by operators or crafts people to objective vibration analysis, oil sampling, ultrasonic leak detection, pressure checks, current readings, etc.
Fig. 2. Left: A motor has not been aligned properly. We can clearly see the beat marks from the sledgehammer, the motor is missing push bolts, and there are too many shims under the feet. Right: A motor with the correct set up to enable good alignment.
Fig. 3. This equipment guard allows for on-the-run visual inspection.
Fig. 4. The hydraulic unit on the left would take 20-30 min to inspect and identify leaks, while the hydraulic unit on the right can be inspected for leaks in about 10 sec by looking for oil in the pan underneath the unit. | 2019-04-20T20:29:30Z | http://idcon.com.au/resource-library/articles/preventive-maintenance/461-checking-best-practices-for-preventive-maintenance.html |
After looking up some of the "common" words I use I was thinking what's the big deal, and, so they changed from a traditional ebook dictionary design until I looked up the word penurious! Then the app paid for itself. Laying this all out in mind note or node fashion like this is a real big help. It would be really nice if key words would be hyperlinked to their definitions like the traditional Oxford dictionaries do do.
Now waiting for a Spanish version.
dictionary 0.2 modern offspring of dictionary and thesaurus iPad style will improve your vocab and your mind. very sharp and good looking has not let me down. a truly great app. a great gift for younger readers.
This was the app that I have been waiting for..
Wow! I have deleted my other dictionaries off my iPad now. This is a steal at the regular price. Grab it while it is on sale. Amazing app. Word lovers will rejoice! What fun! Having the Oxford team behind this product guarantees that the dictionary component is the best that there is.
I could not imagine that the dictionary can be that good! Premium product!
My 8th grade language arts students found this app very informative and fun (as far as dictionaries go). They like the interface, the short and easy-to-understand definitions, and the antonyms. They are in 100% agreement that it is much more useful than a traditional dictionary. I will use it for all of my vocabulary assignments next school year. But why the name change??? Twig was cute and playful, and Wordflex sounds like schoolwork!
A logophile's must have app!
I use this multiple times per day and already have my 12 year old daughter sold on its various excellent features. Well worth every penny, even if it is a lot of pennies. All English teachers should own this and use it in their classrooms!
The invention of this app should be nominated for a Nobel Prize for creating a learning environment that simplifies English for 90 per cent of the population. | 2019-04-24T00:37:37Z | http://iosreviews.net/wordflex-touch-dictionary-reviews639261_p11 |

In this submission, the Islamic Human Rights Commission provides information under sections B, C and D as stipulated in the General Guidelines for the Preparation of Information under the Universal Periodic Review. Under section B, the Islamic Human Rights Commission gives background information about the struggle of the people living in Darfur. Under section C, the Islamic Human Rights Commission raises concern in relation to the situation in Darfur. Under section D, the Islamic Human Rights Commission makes a number of recommendations regarding action that should be taken by the government.
Darfur is the biggest region in Sudan hosting a great wealth of underground minerals, one of which is oil fields. The region is important in terms of production of livestock for the country. Fertile soils of Darfur and huge water sources allow it to hold 25% of Sudan’s livestock population, providing 30% of exported live stock. Despite its natural wealth, however, Darfur has been neglected by the government; as a result it is the most underdeveloped region of Sudan.
Unfortunately, the Sudanese Government has a keen interest in exploiting Darfur’s natural wealth and is reluctant to improve the infrastructure of the region. This is due to their suspicion about socio-political influence of the tribal groups, which have been considered as a threat to the authority of the central government. Furthermore, there has been a deliberate attempt to curb the influence of the indigenous African tribes and insert the authority of the government.
Two main ethnic groups dwell in the region of Darfur: indigenous black-African groups and nomadic groups of mixed quasi-Arabic origin . Both ethnicities predominantly adhere to the Islamic faith and are fluent in the Arabic language. Historically, the region enjoyed an independent state under the name of Sultanate of Darfur. However, a colonial British interference resulted in Sultanate of Darfur’s annexation to the present day Sudan.
The civil war between these tribes has claimed many lives in Darfur. According to independent accounts between 1983 and 2005 around 1.5 million people got killed. Statistics have shown that more than 300.000 have been killed and 2.7 million have been displaced between years 2003 to 2005. Around 4.7 million people have been directly affected by the conflict, out of a total population of around 6.2 million. Children are the most affected group who make up half of the directly affected victims of the conflict. Around 700,000 of these children (the under-five population) have grown up in the conflict.
A natural disaster took place in the 1980s. This changed the demography of the region. Desertification and drought that struck Darfur at the time caused a famine that primarily affected western, northern and central parts of Darfur wherein mostly nomadic Arab tribes dwelled. Consequently, a massive immigration took place towards the south, which is the land of the African tribes. The mass immigration inevitably led to conflicts between the Arabs and African inhabitants of the region.
Successive governments failed to tackle the consequences of the natural disasters in providing infrastructure to accommodate the immigrant population. A long term failure increased the agitation of the people and animosity and social tension between the indigenous Africans and nomadic Arabs. Mass migration following natural disasters, and systematic government policies that aimed at reducing influence of the indigenous Africans through supporting nomadic Arab tribes, has been building up tension in the region. The tension gave rise to sporadic rebellions led by the indigenous Africans which have been suppressed with utter brutality by the government forces.
The policies of the Government caused dismantling of deep-rooted traditional tribal structure and leadership in Darfur. In 1995, the Sudanese government announced its ‘geographic and administrative re-demarcation programme’ in Darfur. The program involved removal of administrative powers and land ownership of indigenous African tribes and allocating them to the nomadic Arab tribes. The policies outraged the Darfurian people and dramatically increased their frustration.
Due to systematic government policies which targeted the demographic structure of the region. A large influx of Arab immigration has been taking place from Chad and other neighbouring countries to Darfur. These Arab groups have also been militarized by the government and affectively used against the indigenous Africans.
IHRC has regularly raised its concerns with the authorities for incommunicado and arbitrary detention. Four members of the opposition Popular Congress party (PCP) and senior journalists in the suspended Rai Al-Shaab newspaper were arrested and tortured at the State Security offices in Khartoum, Sudan.Abu Zar Alamin, Deputy Director of the suspended Rai Al-Shaab newspaper, confirmed that he was subjected to physical torture, including beatings and electric shocks. IHRC requested the Sudanese government to respect Freedom of Expression protected in international law and to investigate the allegations of torture and insures that the detainees have a right to a fair trail. IHRC appealed to the Sudanese government to allow the detainees to receive medical treatment and also to have their families visiting rights.
There is still more to be done to ease the sufferings of the Muslims being oppressed in Darfur as well as bringing the perpetrators to justice. Likewise, there is a discourse amongst the radical left in Africa who see Darfur as a front in the cold-war between China and the USA. As such they see the support of the USA as imperialistic and concerned with securing access to Darfur’s rich mineral and oil wealth. Despite their otherwise impeccable credentials with regard to social justice movements, this factor has caused them to side with Khartoum to the extent that they doubt the Darfurian narrative of genocide in some cases. The Sudanese government needs to take more action in resolving the social tensions between the tribes in Darfur. Furthermore, in an increasingly globalised world, it is the duty of radical and progressive movements world-wide from Muslim and non-Muslim quarters to create the arenas for real justice to be pursued.
1. The Sudanese government must take more positive action in dealing with the conflict in Darfur.
2. It is the duty of all Human Rights organisations to create awareness on the issue in Darfur.
3. All torture and other ill-treatment must cease and bring the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the international standards of a fair trial.
4. The authorities must take measures to ensure that the constitution and constitutional guarantees for protection and promotion of human rights are not arbitrarily set aside. | 2019-04-24T20:15:07Z | https://www.ihrc.org.uk/activities/ihrc-at-un/9609-sudan-submission-to-the-un-upr-to-the-eleventh-session-of-the-human-rights-council/ |
22More revenue despite a difficult market situation? That’s exactly what we achieved with the “Premium Jet Businessjet-Charter Market Analysis” for the owner of a heavy jet, which was not operated by us at the time.
Following the financial crisis, the business aviation market was completely saturated, with falling charter prices and poor capacity utilization as consequences.
One heavy jet owner (whose plane was still run by another operator at the time) grew sick of this, and asked us whether we would be able to apply our expertise and help him out.
With our knowledge of the jet’s potential, and a thorough, comprehensive market analysis, we devised a functional marketing plan which yielded 21% extra revenue in the very first year.

Sir, – Prof T Joseph McKenna, a physician for whom I have the highest regard, argues that Sláintecare is neither affordable, feasible, nor fit for purpose (“Sláintecare is built on shaky financial foundations”, Opinion & Analysis, February 12th). I respectfully disagree.
He puts forward the €600 million to €700 million, now paid for the care of private patients in public hospitals, as a necessary supplement to public funding. Unfortunately, in the absence of reliable data on hospital costs, it is unclear if hospitals actually make any money on this work, but the cost to the economy is evident, both the opportunity costs of providing unnecessary services, and the burden on those queuing for care in the public system.
He notes our ageing population, and expresses the usual alarm at the burden this will place on our services, although that this “burden”, of people living in fairly good health, for longer, is well understood, can be quantified, and has been met, quite easily, by most other EU health services.
He compares our services to the current crisis in the NHS. I do not argue that the NHS is perfect, far from it, but it has provided ready access to affordable care for most people, something our services have yet to achieve. Its current crisis results from a failure to provide reasonable funding. I would argue that our service is in a worse state than the NHS. The most distinctive features of our service are that it is costly, hospital centred, has long queues for services, and does not provide for universal access to primary care. Irish patients face exceptionally high out-of-pocket costs, as well as high insurance costs. Our use of private insurance to avoid queues, and the opportunities for private practice, paid fee per item, which are open to most consultants, both contribute to this.
The costs of Sláintecare are high, and this is inevitable. Comparing these revenue costs, to the €1.5 billion capital costs for the new children’s hospital, is not very useful. A better comparison is with the costs of demographic change alone – which are about €450 million a year. The costs of inaction are likely to be much higher. Our system is slowly falling over, costs are rising, and staff recruitment is getting harder. | 2019-04-18T20:42:55Z | https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/sl%C3%A1intecare-a-solid-foundation-1.3395173 |
Football fans may consider Lambeau Field to be Green Bay’s sacred ground but members of the area’s Roman Catholic community will point you to the stunningly beautiful St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, near the confluence of the Fox and East Rivers. Consecrated in November 1881 and modeled on the Ludwigskirche in Munich, Germany, St. Francis Xavier Cathedral has periodically been expanded and renovated, with the most recent sanctuary renovation beginning in 2006. As one expects from a cathedral, the sanctuary is gorgeous, with its Romanesque architecture, classic art, stained glass, and Carrera marble altar. As one also expects from a cathedral, the acoustics are lively, though not excessive.
Mass is traditional, featuring spoken word, choir, and a Wicks organ with 3,282 pipes, 56 ranks, and 4 manuals. Intelligibility of both music and speech was an issue, and the old loudspeaker system provided limited coverage and obstructed the view of several paintings on the ceiling. Recently, the diocese decided it was time for a new sound system that would address both sound quality and aesthetics issues.
To design the new system, oversee the process, and do the final tuning, the diocese brought in independent design consultants DSH Audio Visions of Milwaukee. DSH Audio Visions designed a completely new, Dante-enabled system managed by a pair of Symetrix Radius 12×8 EX DSPs. Each Radius 12×8 EX provides 128 (64×64) channels of redundant Dante and sports onboard Ethernet and Dante network switches. The unit’s 12 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs can be expanded using an I/O expansion card. Two of these DSPs provided more than enough power and I/O for the cathedral’s needs.
In contrast, asserts Hosbach, “the Radius gave us better stability and is easier to program.” In addition, going with Symetrix enabled Hosbach to specify a Symetrix ARC-2e wired adaptive remote control, which enables control of basic audio functions and complex logic events, with 24 menus and 16 items on an 8-character backlit display.
Moreover, choosing Symetrix made the desired wireless control easy, thanks to Symetrix’ ARC-WEB virtual user interface. Compatible with Symetrix Radius, Edge, Prism, Solus NX, Jupiter, and Zone Mix 761 DSPs, ARC-WEB provides user control of the DSP presets, volume, mute, source, and other sound system parameters via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Any popular browser can be used to control audio via a web server embedded in the Symetrix DSP. Equipped with the ARC-WEB system and their mobile devices, the cathedral’s sound system team can adjust the new system subtly, without being noticed, and volunteers learn to control the system using a familiar mobile device.
The old concert loudspeaker that had been suspended from the top of the arch at the front of the sanctuary came down, unveiling the formerly obstructed paintings. Hosbach chose 17 Innovox model SLA-4.1 Tilt loudspeakers for primary sound reinforcement, which installer Arrow AV Group mounted in pairs to the columns in the aisles between the center and side seating areas, with one speaker facing to the inside and one to the outside of the sanctuary. That put every congregant within 15 feet of a speaker. Additional speakers cover the first two rows of pews, the center and side aisles, and the sacristy. A custom-built speaker system provides foldback for the choir loft.
It added up to a lot of speakers in several zones but the Radius DSPs are designed to handle all that and more. Rather than use a console, the cathedral’s sound team controls the system using the Symetrix ARC-2e wall panel and ARC-WEB. | 2019-04-23T04:59:06Z | http://tfwm.com/green-bay-cathedral-chooses-symetrix/ |

Again, let’s see what emerges in 15 minutes of writing.
Today, I had the pleasure of talking with a woman doing interesting work with international ag. (We were going to and from a triathlon, but more on that and the food of sport later). She is working to negotiate fair and sustainable agricultural practices overseas, particularly in Brazil. The problem she faces is the good old invisible hand.
Companies that buy and sell commodity goods (think soy and palm oil) want the cheapest prices possible. Yet the cheapest prices are often reaped from the backs of exploited workers, and grown from environmentally damaging practices (monoculture, clear-cutting). So some negotiation needs to happen. This work brings her face-to-face with ADM and Cargill execs who simply don’t see a sound financial case for higher wages or green practices–never mind that these practices are dictated by law.
On Monday, May 4, sustainable foodies triumphed at the 2009 James Beard Awards. Among the winners of these Oscars of the gourmet world are Michael Pollan (for his “eaters’ manifesto” In Defense of Food) and Dan Barber (for his chefing, which gives a whole new meaning to local ingredients).
Then organic farming got a $50 million boost as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (a.k.a. EQIP). The USDA will use these funds to support certified organic producers and those transitioning to organic practices.
Next came a more personally positive story when a Hopkins writing classmate published a wonderful tale of fermentation and family in the Post.
In another YaD-level bit of news, this blog writer got set up as the DC farmers market examiner for (you guessed it) examiner.com–not the newspaper, but an online publication with all kinds of useful, insider information… and completely useless procrastination reading (you’ll have to be the judge of where my info falls) . More on my farmers market scooping soon.
There’s a new website out there. Yes, I’m aware that the ‘net sees hundreds of new ones every day. But I’m talking about a particular one–ChefKosher.com. It’s always fun to watch the building of a new and ambitious project, and it’s especially amusing if you can write about its quirky mascot.
Check out the post about it, and comment there or here!
Sunday’s rain started early, and by 10 a.m., there was little doubt: this was a dismal day for outdoor activities. Yet the farmers still showed up at the farmers’ market in Takoma Park, and shoppers made it worth their while. The market on Carroll Ave. has become essential for many of us, it seems, and we’re determined to buy.
For me, it was surely worth it. I got all my important staples for the coming week (bread, greens, potatoes, apples, cider, free-range blue eggs), along with a few fun extras like garlic greens and peppercress. Luckily, aside from a soggy egg carton, everything made it home safe.
Now I have my bounty, and the knowledge that I did my small part to support local foods and sustainable growing practices. Viva la famers’ market! | 2019-04-24T11:54:34Z | https://youaredelicious.net/2009/05/ |

F. Donald Fenhagen Jr., former director of public relations for the National Brewing Co. who was part of a team that created Mr. Boh and a founder of the Center Club, died of Parkinson's disease Wednesday at Roland Park Place, where he had lived since 1996. He was 85.
Mr. Fenhagen was born in Philadelphia, the son of a civil engineer, and moved to Baltimore's Roland Park. In 1929, he moved with his family to Puerto Rico when his father took a position with the United Puerto Rico Sugar Co.
In the early 1930s, he returned to Baltimore and graduated in 1936 from the Gilman School. He attended the University of Virginia for a year but was forced to withdraw after his father died. Mr. Fenhagen went to work in the advertising department of the A.S. Abell Co., then publishers of The Sunpapers.
In 1940, he joined the 110th Field Artillery of the Maryland National Guard. While serving as a sergeant with the 224th Field Artillery Battery, he was sent to Bermuda, where he spent the remainder of World War II and also met his future wife.
He was married in 1944 to the former F. Lilian White, and after the war ended, the couple returned to Baltimore. For many years, they lived in Ruxton and at Elkridge Estates. She died in 1995.
Mr. Fenhagen held several public relations posts before being named advertising and public relations director for Bendix Radio in Towson in 1951.
He joined the now-defunct National Brewing Co. in 1956. It was while working for the company, which brewed National Premium and National Bohemian beer, that he helped create the famous Mr. Boh image and the "Land of Pleasant Living" slogan.
James Holechek, a retired Baltimore public relations executive, recalled Mr. Fenhagen's involvement in the creation of two of Baltimore's most memorable advertising slogans.
"He was part of the team that created Mr. Boh. I remember him telling me that he and Jerry Hoffberger, who was president of National, were flying around the Chesapeake Bay when the phrase 'Land of Pleasant Living,' came to them. It went on to become one of the really great national ad slogans," Mr. Holechek said.
Mr. Fenhagen continued working for the company after it became part of Carling National Breweries Inc. In 1976, he left the company when he was appointed vice president of James Holechek Associates.
"He was considered the sage, the H.L. Mencken of the advertising business, and people would hang on every word he had to say. He was a marvelous man and a consummate gentleman," Mr. Holechek said.
In 1980, Mr. Fenhagen joined T.J. Ross & Associates in New York City. He retired in 1983.
He also played a role in the World's Fair that was held during 1964-1965 at Flushing Meadows in Queens, N.Y. Gov. J. Millard Tawes appointed him in 1962 to the five-member committee that planned Maryland's participation at the fair.
A restaurant and snack bar in the Maryland Pavilion that served Chesapeake delicacies became a roaring success, so much so that the state was able to recover much of its $1 million dollar investment.
With 5,000 visitors a day stopping by the restaurant, 1,800 pounds of crabmeat, 4,800 soft crabs and 400 gallons of clam chowder were consumed each week.
"We have accomplished exactly what we have set out to do, to build a pavilion that will attract tourists to Maryland," he told The Sun in 1964.
Mr. Fenhagen was also a founding member of the Center Club in 1963.
"He was a quiet but dynamic man, and was part of a group that included Jerry Hoffberger, who founded the Center Club, the first club for businessmen that did not discriminate on the basis of race or religion," said Mr. Fenhagen's son, F. Donald Fenhagen III of Baltimore.
"He was a very compassionate man and just cared for others. He truly believed everyone was equal. He didn't see color, and this was never an issue with him at all," said his daughter, Pamela Fenhagen Corckran of Roland Park. "He was a very big influence on me, and that's why I went into social work."
He was instrumental in founding the Voluntary Council for Equal Employment and was interested in developing a Jewish-Christian dialogue.
He was a former trustee of the Maryland Hospital Council and had been vice chairman of the Maryland Committee of the John F. Kennedy Library.
Mr. Fenhagen was a Civil War buff and enjoyed visiting battlefields. He was also an avid collector of lead soldiers, which he liked to set up, and worked to compile his family's genealogy.
He was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, 5603 N. Charles St., where funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. today.
In addition to his son and daughter, Mr. Fenhagen is survived by another son, William E. Fenhagen of White Hall; a brother, the Rev. James C. Fenhagen of Washington; and four grandchildren. | 2019-04-23T22:22:52Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2003-11-01-0311010169-story.html |

Today’s FDR is 2 Chronicles 31:2-21 and Matthew 9:27-38.
In our our Old Testament reading today we see a bright and prosperous time for Israel. They are led by Hezekiah who appears to be an anomaly in a line of kings who regularly turn their backs on God. We are told that Hezekiah ‘did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God’ (v20). He sought God with all his heart. We also see that like their king, the people have turned their hearts to God and respond with generosity… to the point of overflowing.
As I read this I am encouraged and challenged that as my heart turns and seeks God, one of the practical outworkings is generosity – in time, money and effort – joyful generosity! How I long to give of what I have more generously. I will pray therefore, not that I would be more generous but that I would have my heart turned more to and captivated by God!
In our gospel reading, the compassion of Jesus is displayed in the healing of two blind men and casting out of a demon in a third. I am struck straight away by the response of the blind men – Jesus ‘sternly’ warns them not to tell anyone about their miraculous healing and their response…. we’ve got to tell everybody! I can only imagine what it must have been like for them to have their eyes opened, to have their lives changed forever and to want to respond by telling others. In the same situation, I don’t know that I would have been able to contain my joy either!
Jesus ministry so far is summed up in v35 – moving throughout the towns, healing the sick and proclaiming the gospel. We are told of his compassion for the crowds, harassed and helpless. He subsequently encourages, no, commands his disciples to pray for labourers for the harvest. I’m sure that during our world missions conference towards the end of July we will hear many stories of labourers and the harvest in Australia and around the world. As we have been commanded, may we continue to pray for those who have been sent and in so doing realise that we too are called to the harvest as co-labourers in proclaiming the gospel… and willingly follow Christ in that calling.

LANESBORO, MN— Water is a vital part of the history, identity, and culture of Lanesboro. Lanesboro Arts, Commonweal Theatre, Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, the Lanesboro Museum, and Friends of the Root River, in cooperation with the Minnesota Humanities Center, will celebrate this connection as it hosts Water/Ways, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street program. Water/Ways is on view in the events hall at Commonweal Theatre now through February 19, 2017.
Water/Ways reveals the central nature of water in our lives by exploring how we relate to water—how we use water, how water unites communities, how water affects every element of life, and how we care for our water and protect this valuable resource for the future.
We Are Water MN, an interactive story collection exhibit developed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Humanities Center and other state partners, will also be on display at Commonweal Theater alongside Water/Ways. We Are Water MN includes stories from people reflecting on the meaning and experience of water in Minnesota, stories from local people from each host site community, and space for exhibit visitors to add their own stories and images.
A project that has been in the works since the spring of 2015, various Lanesboro nonprofits and community groups are offering a series of diverse local programs and exhibits about water in conjunction with Water/Ways exhibit in Lanesboro.
“The Humanities Center and our state partners felt it was essential to highlight Minnesota’s unique position as the headwaters of three major U.S. watersheds and the deep relationships that people in this place enjoy with water. We are pleased to be working with Lanesboro Arts, Commonweal Theatre, Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, the Lanesboro Museum, and Friends of the Root River to help develop local exhibitions and public programs that tell the story of water in the Root River watershed. The Smithsonian exhibit will provide an exciting springboard for all of the exhibits and activities planned here,” said David O’Fallon, President of the Minnesota Humanities Center.
“The process of organizing and planning for Lanesboro’s six weeks as a Water/Ways host site has been an incredibly rewarding and inspiring exercise in community building,” shared Adam Wiltgen, program director at Lanesboro Arts. “A town of 754 people could not host a Smithsonian exhibition without working closely together. And because of the unique cross-sector collaborations that are taking place, the many local programs and events developed in Lanesboro will utilize the arts and the humanities–individual human stories and experiences–to make complex, varying, and, at times, divisive water issues more relevant and accessible by focusing on how we are connected,” added Wiltgen.
The Water/Ways exhibit includes many community events and activities. For complete details on Water/Ways events and programming in Lanesboro, visit http://lanesboroarts.org/waterways.
Lanesboro and the surrounding community have been expressly chosen by the Minnesota Humanities Center to host Water/Ways as part of the Museum on Main Street program—a national/state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. The exhibition is touring six communities in Minnesota from June 25, 2016 through April 9, 2017. More information about the exhibition in Minnesota can be found at http://mnhum.org/waterways.
Water/Ways is part of Museum on Main Street, a unique collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), state humanities councils across the nation, and local host institutions. To learn more about Water/Ways and other Museum on Main Street exhibitions, visit www.museumonmainstreet.org.
Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. Support for local programs and companion exhibits in Lanesboro has been provided by POET biofining, Lanesboro American Legion Post #40, Bolton & Menk, Davies Printing, Stone Mill Suites, High Court Pub, and the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce.
SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington D.C. for more than 60 years. SITES connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science, and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play.

Esophagela Hiatus Hernia. Rationale and Results of Anatomic Repair.
Discussion rationale and technique used for repair of esophageal hiatus hernia in nearly 600 operations at the Henry Ford Hospital. The technique permits "reduction in the size of the hiatus by posterior approximation of the crural fibers and maximal utilization of the phrenoesophageal ligament for maintaining the esophagogastric junction below the diaphragm." To the classification of esophageal hiatus hernias as sliding and paraesophageal or rolling is added a third type—the infracardiac bursa hernia. | 2019-04-19T22:55:45Z | https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/691323/esophagela-hiatus-hernia-rationale-results-anatomic-repair |

Plumbers may be used to take care of issues surrounding water and drainage pipes. They help the people to get the services they want. They can be used when installing these pipes or even when repairing old ones. There may be constant needs to repair the ones that are serving the people at the moment. There may be blockages or even damages on the pipe systems. The people themselves may do some of the repairs. Lack of skills affect the ability of the people to do the repairs on their own. The plumbing companies can, therefore, be used in such scenarios. There are so many plumbers in the market which makes it very hard to settle on one plumber to help you with your issues. There is so much competition that comes about. This calls for some factors to be considered when choosing plumbing contractor. Reading below you will be exposed to some of the tips that can help you get a perfect firm.
The first factor to consider when hiring a plumber is the warranty o the services offered by the plumber. To get rid of constant repairs, there will be need of warranty given by the plumber. The plumber assures the customers that they will take care of any issues that arise within a certain time after the previous repairs. The period that the warranty will take will be given to the customers. It may be for months or even a few years. The warranty will enable the customers to use very little to take care of the plumbing issues.
You may also consider the level of experience of the plumbing company to come up with one. You need to get a plumber who has been in the company for some time. The number of times that they have been used to offer plumbing solution is always very many. They may no get unnecessary problems when offering such services. They are so familiar with the industry that they operate in. Their experience is very high. They, therefore, know how best to handle them. They can also offer lasting solutions to such issues.
The third factor that may be considered when selecting a plumbing company is the reviews about the company. The firm may have interacted with a lot of customers. These elicits different reactions from such people. There are some who were offered quality services by the firm. Such people give positive opinions about the service providers. Those who get substandard services will not give better ratings to the firms. The reviews are mostly found on the sites of the firms. | 2019-04-24T08:36:51Z | http://domoticandhomeappliances.ga/2019/04/14/my-most-valuable-advice/ |

One of the major reasons for the American invasion and conquest of Iraq in 2003 was the argument that more democracy would automatically lead to more peace in the world. It was a manifestation of some of the Utopian fantasies about free trade and parliamentary democracy that became popular in America after the end of the Cold War. Indeed, some even claimed history was now "over". Free trade would lead to world peace. Parliamentary democracy would prevent war.
These ideas need to be examined. We have already discussed the appalling ethical and practical aspects of the destruction of our planet's environment by the current world political "order". See our report. The issues discussed here raise further ethical questions about what is going on and the nature of the political theories and leaders that are currently in power.
The predominant form of parliamentary democracy in the world today is the Anglo-American model. However, a look at the both nations histories reveals anything but a peace loving record.
The Anglo-American slave trade was the largest and most brutal in history.
The British Empire conducted one of the most ruthless campaigns of global imperialism.
America's record is even grimmer. It launched the most comprehensive campaign of racial and ethnic imperialism in world history. Indeed Hitler chose America's conquest of its territory as a model for what he wanted to do in his conquest of Russia. See our report on this.
By the end of the nineteenth century most of the major European states were democracies. Unfortunately, democracy totally failed to provide a safety catch on war. Indeed, it often led to growing political efforts for aggressive international actions. In France, for example, democracy helped fuel nationalistic visions of global imperialism in the Third World and plans for a war of revenge against Germany. Almost all forces of democracy enthusiastically rushed into World War I, predicting glorious victories for the war they helped to produce.
What is particularly disturbing is that events like this are reflected in the grim and violent track record of ancient Greece and Rome, the political models on which America is based.
Pericles and his imperialist foreign policies led Athens into such a national catastrophe that democracy was largely discredited in the ancient Greek world. None of the great minds of Greece that followed Pericles, such as Socrates, Aristotle, Thucydides, Xenophon, and Plato, saw him as any kind of hero. Socrates even ridiculed Pericles as a "pastry cook". The "Cult of Pericles" is an invention of the modern Western world over 2,000 years after he led Athens into ruin and disaster. Furthermore, Athens was never a major world power like Persia. It was Alexander the Great who made Greece a world power, and he despised Athenian democracy. Indeed, Athens actually supported Persia during Alexander's campaign for world empire. The fact that the New Testament was written in Greek and the word "democracy" is not mentioned once in the entire work is an example of how democracy had been consigned to the rubbish heap of Greek history.
Athens even ordered the execution of its greatest philosopher, Socrates. See our report.
The empire of Alexander marked the transition of ancient Greece from the Classical to the Hellenistic era. In this era two giant empires dominated the Greek world, the Ptolemaic Empire, whose key possession was ancient Egypt, and the Seleucid Empire, which stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the borders of India. The political mentality of this empire can be seen in some of the quotes we have assembled from Plato and Aristotle. These quotes speak for themselves in terms of their totally anti-democratic point of view.
Unlike ancient Athens, the Roman Republic did become a major world power. However, this was hardly a happy story. The Roman Republic was one of the most brutal imperialist regimes ever seen. Most of the "Empire" was conquered by the Republic. The Roman Republic set up the largest and most brutal human slave trade ever seen until the Anglo-American slave trade of modern times.
Unfortunately, military conquest abroad did not bring peace at home. The huge influx of foreign wealth led to violent class warfare, culminating in a series of appalling bloody civil wars. After Augustus established the Empire in 40 CE, democracy had so little credibility that it largely disappeared for almost 1,700 years as a serious political force in the West and did not come back into favor until the 18th century.
In looking at modern Anglo-American democratic imperialism, the following reports merit attention.
The Mass Murder of Civilians by Air Power by the British Empire Iraq in the 1920's marked the beginning of a grim new era of war. Iraqis rebelled against British imperialism after they found out that Britain's promises of Arab freedom in their uprising against Turkey were a lie. It was a similar situation but a more open case of fraud than the American double cross of the Philippine independence movement discussed below. Arthur Harris, who would later slaughter hundreds of thousands of German civilians with great enthusiasm, was equally upbeat when it came to murdering Iraqi civilians. Winston Churchill, the hero today's American neocons, also played a major role here. He enthusiastically backed the use of poison gas against Iraqi civilians.
Britain repeatedly fought against any effort to curb the bombing of civilians in all the arms control negotiations of the interwar period.
Mike Davis, Late Victorian Holocausts How millions died due to colonial manipulation of food production.
The Removal of Native Americans from the Eastern U.S. Hitler saw this as a great model for his plans. See our report on this.
The Homestead Act A classic example of imperialism. American whites were given land conquered from native Americans.
Slavery and Reparations The American economy got a giant boost from a comprehensive system of slave labor. After the Civil War slaves were supposed to receive some kind of compensation such as 40 acres of land. A bill passed Congress to this effect. Due to a Presidential veto they got nothing in financial compensation.
US War Crimes in Phillipines After betraying the Philippine independence movement America proceeded to kill one million of its people to make it a colony of America's growing empire.
Dishonesty of Woodrow Wilson Wilson was without a doubt one of the greatest frauds in all of world history. This is really quite an achievement. A narrow minded racist who loved the Ku Klux Klan and resegregated the U.S. government, Wilson also had self-righteous religious delusions about being some sort of world savior. The German people surrendered because of Wilson's promise of the 14 points. What they got instead was the Versailles Treaty which violated almost every one of those points. Wilson's lies did much to set in motion the rise of Hitler and helped lay the groundwork for an even bigger world war than the one he assured everyone would be the "war to end all wars". A particularly macabre aspect of Wilson's tactics was his continuation of the food embargo aginst Germany which killed thousands of German children.
The Western Betrayal of Poland England and France stood back and let Hitler crush Poland after assuring the Poles they would attack in the west.
The Anglo-American Destruction of the Cities of Germany and Japan It is important to note here that the wholesale destruction of entire cities was the very specific goal after the adoption of the policy of "area bombing" in early 1942. It was not some sort of unfortunate side effect of an effort to hit military targets. Many people are still unaware of this. More people died in one night at Hamburg than in the entire German bombing campaign of Britain.
The Expulsion of 15 Million Germans from their Land by Poland and Czechoslovakia At least two million died under appalling circumstances in one of the greatest war crimes in history.
Japanese Biological Warfare Atrocities and the U.S. Coverup One of the worst war crimes of World War II was never prosecuted at the Tokyo War Crimes trial because America wanted the expertise of these criminals for its own biological warfare plans.
America's 2003 Invasion and Occupation of Iraq - Some Relevant News Stories One million Iraqis have been killed. Poverty, sickness and violence have soared. Torture was used on a massive scale.
Religious Problems in Modern America - Religious Justifications for War and Conquest This is particularly chilling. Many top American religious leaders are claiming that God has endorsed a global campaign of war and imperialism. | 2019-04-25T16:10:38Z | http://worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/war.crimes/war.crimes.democracies.htm |

The Royal Oak Foundation with Co-Sponsors, The Hermitage Museum Foundation (USA) and The Victorian Society in America are proud to present an in depth lecture by Historian and Author, Helen Rappaport.
Following the Crimean War (1854-1856), an intense period of Russophobia took hold of the UK. While Queen Victoria had a deep mistrust of Russia—deeming it a place with an ‘unsafe throne’—rapprochement came as her grandchildren reached marriageable age and her ambitions for suitable dynastic unions became urgent. The Hesse Princesses Ella and her sister Alexandra were Victoria’s favorite granddaughters—she became a surrogate mother after their own mother Princess Alice died in 1878. While the Queen initially resisted Ella’s marriage to Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich, and Alexandra’s to Tsarevich Nicholas, eventually she conceded that both must be free to marry for love. Despite her misgivings, the Queen had an abiding influence over the upbringing of her great-grandchildren, who grew up in a very English domestic atmosphere at their home in Russia, spoke fluent English and revered their English ‘granny.’ After the Queen’s death in 1909, cordial relations between Britain and Russia continued and the entire Romanov family visited their English cousins at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Sadly, this accord did not continue after the Revolution; King George V reneged on his offer of asylum to the imperial family, and Queen Victoria’s beloved granddaughters perished in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Spanning 80 years, from 1839 to the murder of the Romanovs, historian and best-selling author Helen Rappaport will explore the British Royal family’s tumultuous relationship with Russia.
This lecture is followed by a reception and book-signing.

MACVLAN doesn’t need to learn(identify) mac addresses of the systems within the network to distribute traffic as it know’s every mac address, this makes it fast and easy to setup than bridge type networking.
If a container uses port 8000 of host then no other containers can use that port.
Binding multiple ports to container can be done by specifying port range but this operation takes more time depending on no. of ports to bind.
IPTables rules become cumbersome as no. of bindings increase.
Host contains multiple publicly accessible IP addresses with MAC addresses.
Above command runs nginx container with ip ‘88.99.102.115’ attached to this container, you can verify by hitting ‘88.99.102.115’ where you will be welcomed with nginx page.
This way overall network setup will become clear and easy to handle. | 2019-04-23T09:51:44Z | https://micropyramid.com/blog/assign-public-ip-address-to-docker-container-without-port-binding/ |
Our Monday evening Cheese Course is well under way and our focus on 6th February was on the cheese and wines of Italy.
There is no question that Italy is a worthy rival to France in both departments – in particular the fact that Italy produces almost as many cheeses and many more wines.
We tasted predominant Northern and Central Italian cheeses ranging from Alto Adige and Trento down to Verona, across to Valtellina and then into Piemonte, Lombardy and Umbria.
I decided to opt for a mix of both classic and ‘not so classic’ matches in order to bring as broad a range of Italian wines and styles into the mix.
We kicked off with a current favourite wine of mine (and many others), the A Mano Bianco from Puglia which is wonderfully fragrant blend of Greco, Falanghina and Fiano and worked beautifully a straw wrapped hard goats cheese from the Veneto.
The Sicilian Zibibbo (Moscato) didn’t pair quite as well but was better with the creamy Fontina cheese from the South Tyrol.
Sticking with Siciliy, next up was a white wine from made from the red grape Nerello Mascalese – so a Blanc de noir – paired with the pungent washed rind Puzzone di Moena from Trento.
The wine was elegant and minerally, the cheese was absolutely at its peak of ponginess and intensity so rather dominated the wine and in fact we felt would overwhelmed almost any wine.
Moving onto the reds we tasted a trio of Sangioveses from Abruzzo, Chianti and Montalcino with increasing levels of structure and tannin.
The Sangiovese Farnese Fantini was an easy match for all three with the soft tannins and lively fruit working well. The Chianti Classico failed on this occasion – not melding at all with any of the cheeses.
The Brunello di Montalcino was a great foil to the cave aged, straw and herb wrapped Pecorino and the Bitto.
We rounded off the session with a Gorgonzola Piccante and a Gorgonzola Dolce.
A Moscato d’Asti from my favourite Contero estate near Strevi worked seamlessly with the soft creamy dolce but surrendered to the sharper Piccante style.
We then tried a Marsala Superiore Riserva – fortified but not quite sweet enough and then I delved into the cellar and found a half bottle of the unctuously sweet Dionigi Moscato Passito which was heavenly with both Gorgonzolas. | 2019-04-25T13:53:11Z | https://timsyradwines.com/cheese-course-2-italy/ |

We will be listening to the short audio book 'Lying' by the famous author and neuroscientist Sam Harris with a group discussion to follow.
This class is a part of our on going Yoga Teacher Training, you are invited to share in this portion with us.
We will be listening, discussing, and introducing 'lying' as a platform to, and how it relates to, yoga & yogic principals such as Satya and Ahimsa. What is Satya and Ahimsa you ask? This book, discussion and event will set the stage for our next workshop: 'Yamas & Niyamas', where the principles of Satya: truth, and ahimsa: non harming, are introduced as two of many outlined in the principles of the yamas and niyamas, which are a part of the 8 limbs of yoga given in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. (The eightfold path is called ashtanga, which literally means "eight limbs" (ashta=eight, anga=limb). These eight steps basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life.) As well the relationship to the art of skillfulness, skillful means and mindfulness practice and shambhala practice.
In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on “white” lies—those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort—for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.
In this brief but illuminating work, Sam Harris applies his characteristically calm and sensible logic to a subject that affects us all—the human capacity to lie. And by the book’s end, Harris has compelled you to lead a better life because the benefits of telling the truth far outweigh the cost of lies—to yourself, to others, and to society.
This event will be lead and moderated by Elsa Wadsworth. | 2019-04-21T12:48:25Z | https://www.yogaonealex.com/workshops/2017/10/22/lying-by-sam-harris |

News Gothic is actually the standard American sanserif typeface of the first two thirds of the twentieth century. It was originally prepared for ATF by Morris Fuller Benton in the year 1908 under the name News Gothic. The Trade Gothic follows News Gothic exclusive of its widely-spaced straight-sided boldface rooted in ATF Alternate Gothic No.3.
The beautifully designed lettering goes well with News Gothic Bold, a boldface version that originated right at Intertype, with Trade Gothic Bold No.2. | 2019-04-21T05:00:02Z | https://www.fontocean.com/news-gothic/ |
Video on CLEP testing computer does not display properly.
Some of the laptops, specifically the Fujitsu S7220's, do not display the CLEP testing software correctly. Once the testing begins, the screen resolution becomes very small.
Close out of any programs that may be running.
The instructions in this article are for Windows 7. If you are running a different version of Windows, the steps may have to be adapted.
Click on the start button, then click on "control panel."
In the upper right hand corner of the control panel, change "View by:" to "Small icons."
Within the control panel, click on "Device Manager."
Click the arrow next to "Display adapters" to expand the category.
Right click on the device and click "Disable."
It will ask if you really want to take this action. Click "Yes."
Once you click "Yes," the screen may go completely blank. If this happens, please follow the rest of the steps below.
Shut down the computer. This can be tricky because although Windows is still running, you are operating the computer blindly. Use these key strokes in order to shut down the computer. Windows key (the one just to the left of the Alt key with the windows logo on it) | Right arrow | Enter. You should hear the computer power down and turn off.
Re-boot the computer. You will notice that the resolution has changed. This is because the video driver has been disabled and Windows has installed a generic video driver.
Log onto the TDMS server and administer the test.

Emerald City Schools: The Yellow Brick Road to Educational Success! | 2019-04-26T03:40:36Z | http://www.emeraldcityschools.com/?DivisionID=1551 |
Sean Wilentz was an outspoken supporter of Clinton during her previous presidential bid, and according to Clinton insiders he has remained close to her since. Wilentz has been described as helping Hillary Clinton understand where and how her potential administration, and that of her husband Bill Clinton, fit into the arc of progressive history over the last half-century or more.
Sean Wilentz is regarded as one of America's foremost political historians. He has been dubbed by National Review as the new Arthur Schlesinger. Wilentz is a professor of American History at Princeton University.
Wilentz approves of partisan politics. He writes that "the framers built a political system which inspired partisan politics" and that "partisan politics has survived because, in the United States, it as worked well, or well enough."
Wilentz derides historians who try to locate Lincoln's success in the beauty of his prose and not his skill in the art of politics.
At Amazon.com, Paul Krause describes Wilentz as viewing "the classical liberalism of Locke, Jefferson, and Adams as the natural starting point for the evolution of liberalism through Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, to Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt."
Krause describes Wilentz as not agreeing with " leftist/postmodern/neo-Marxist historians" or with those "new conservative" historians who have portrayed Jefferson and Jackson (two of Wilentz's heroes) in as worst possible light.
Krause describes Wilentz's work as hyper-partisan, and Wilentz writes of historical moments of extreme partisanship: ratifying the Constitution, slavery/abolition, New Deal, and Great Society.
Chapter 12 is titled "The Liberals and the Leftists." Wilentz describes "the rise and fall of the Progressives and the advent of the New Deal" as having redirected the American egalitarian tradition. As egalitarian politics changed, so did the character of American dissent... a more coherent if endlessly contentious and squabbling American left emerged."
Involved in this is a presumption about who controls political life in the US – what C Wright Mills called the "power elite." Anti-establishment radicals have contributed to momentous change, and they have accused liberal components of the "governing elite" or establishment as having supported major reforms strictly in order to advance purposes of their own. Wilentz is describing people on the left who have a Manichean (an absolutistic black vs white) political mentality.
American history has been driven not by co-optation and frustration on the left but by convergencies of protest AND [emphasis added] politics.
Wilentz list the failures of radical leftists on their own. The socialism of Eugene Debs failed, but the "bread and butter" unionism of Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor made gains for workers. New Dealers enacted reforms and frustrated those like the socialist leader Norman Thomas who complained that Franklin Roosevelt was carrying his socialist program out "in a coffin."
Helping fight the good fight were the not so far left activists such as the labor leader John L Lewis (a republican) and Senator Robert Wagner of New York – while the US Communist Party was opposed to the Wagner Act and denouncing New Dealers as "social fascists."
Wilentz writes of the New Left having "degenerated into ferocious and abiding contempt for liberals and liberalism, which sent some of its adherent spiraling into violence and neo-Leninist sectarianism of the Weather Underground."
Allow me to interject some personal experience. I was on campus at UC Berkeley in the 1960s (but not attending classes) and I did hear contempt spoken for liberalism. But it was a mixed bag. My friend Jerry Rubin, leader of the Vietnam Day Committee and soon to be Yippie leader making trouble at the Democratic convention in 1968, and author of Do It, expressed contempt for Marxism to me when we were alone. He did see himself as a revolutionary, but I can't say he was anti-liberalism. Eventually he became a stock broker.
Among the leftist students I knew was recognition of the importance of electoral politics, and the left in Berkeley succeeded in electing a radical city council and elevating a member of the city council, Ron Dellums, to the US Congress. It was in Berkeley that I acquired a contempt for anarchistic leaning protesters who loved expressing themselves in demonstrations, throwing rocks, calling cops pigs, setting fire to trash and accomplishing nothing.
which included overseeing the longest period of economic growth in modern ties,one that significantly raised family income and real wage for the first time in a generation.
Wilentz ends the chapter writing of the debt that radicals have owed to liberals and of "the damage some leftists have willfully done over the last thirty years to liberal ideals, and, ironically, to their own.
In Chapter 13, Wilentz complains of the Ralph Nader's third party candidacy in 2008 – a move supported by purists (my word) on the left that has been described as helping to throw the election to George W. Bush. Wilentz writes of several leftists described as celebrities as supporting Nader and "some of them [having] recycled false Republican attacks on Gore."
If we look hard enough we can find some Manichean leftist doing the same against Hillary Clinton. | 2019-04-18T20:37:57Z | https://www.franksmitha.com/books/wilentz.htm |

“Jay Foreman, CEO of Basic Fun!, poses with K’NEX products after Basic Fun’s acquisition of the company this year. The firm will be hit by Chinese tariffs if the trade war escalates.
A group representing Pennsylvania toy manufacturers, distillers, hog farmers, and retailers gathered in Philadelphia for a town hall meeting on Thursday to sound the alarm on President Trump's escalating trade war with China.
Tariffs have destabilized businesses by making it nearly impossible to formulate business strategy, said members of the group, Tariffs Hurt the Heartland, which held a panel on free trade Thursday with funds coming from big agriculture groups, ranchers and individuals. Inventories are being kept low. New small manufacturing facilities have been placed on hold. The state's 101 whiskey distillers and spirit importers are delaying market expansions into Asia and Europe.
The toy industry is especially anxious about next year's sales. Industry leaders already anticipate higher production costs and consumer prices.
"The good news is that [the hikes] won't be happening this season," said panelist Michael Araten, CEO of the Rodon Group in Hatfield, which specializes in plastic-injection molding in the United States, including the K'nex building toy brand.
Next year, the self-described "patriotic capitalist" said, prices may be be 10 percent to 20 percent higher. "A $20 toy will cost $30. The [Trump] tax credits were great," Araten added. "But the tariffs will take all those gains away from the consumer."
Minyuan Zhao, associate professor of management at the Wharton School, said "the biggest threat to all involved is that they don't know how to plan ahead."
Determining the impact across the spectrum of industries is tricky, said Zhao, who did not participate in the town hall meeting but researches emerging economies, global strategy and innovation. But small farms are particularly vulnerable because of the volatility of the commodities markets. "It's harder for them to buffer the risk."
Trump's confrontational plan on trade has resulted in a new version of the North American Free Trade Agreement that many experts say is similar to the old one. Trump has also turned his attention away from Europe, avoiding the mistake of getting into a harmful spat with allies needed to form a trading bloc and a unified front.
Instead, Trump is focusing his trade war on China, which is seen as engaging in a wide range of unfair trade practices and industrial espionage. Three weeks ago, Trump slapped tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports, prompting China to respond with levies on $60 billion in American goods. The president has threatened to levy 25 percent tariffs on the remaining $257 billion of Chinese imports if Beijing refuses to eliminate trade and economic policies that Washington regards as discriminatory.
The group that convened Thursday at the New Liberty Distillery in the city's Fishtown neighborhood was respectful of what the Trump administration was trying to accomplish, but believed that there's a better way to bolster American business without resorting to tariffs.
"The level of uncertainty is now at an all-time high," said panelist Angela Marshall Hofmann, deputy director of Farmers for Free Trade, which organized the Thursday morning town hall and is co-chaired by former U.S. Senators Richard Lugar (R., Indiana) and Max Baucus (D., Montana). "And that's not just impacting farmers and ranchers, it's impacting manufacturers and retailers, too."
Farmers for Free Trade has taken its free-trade message, a core GOP belief until recently, directly to the president, she said. It has run ads on Fox News in the Washington and Palm Beach media markets and signed on Lugar and Baucus to make their case.
The administration's unpredictability is driving worries that the relatively strong U.S. economy will begin to falter. Those concerns were amplified by a stock market selloff that lopped more than 1,300 points off the Dow Jones average on Wednesday and Thursday.
"The danger is a spiral of retaliation," said panelist Craig Snyder, the president and CEO of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. "The politics are being used to distort the very complex puzzle of trade."
Thanks to Trump-imposed tariffs, Pennsylvanians are paying $45 million more a month for internationally sourced goods, according to data complied by consulting firm Trade Partnership and released by Tariffs Hurt the Heartland.
On steel alone, the state spent an additional $98 million on "section 232 tariffs," primarily on steel from Russia, aluminum from Canada, rebar from Turkey, and forklift parts from China. Pennsylvania ranked fifth in the nation for paying steel tariffs. States reportedly paying more in steel tariffs are Texas ($389 million), Michigan ($139 million), California ($104 million) and Illinois ($103 million), according to the Trade Partnership data.
A 10 percent tariff on picture frames was put into effect in September, said panelist Steve McGowan, vice president of operations at Easton's MCS Industries, a leading supplier of frames and wall décor to retailers. If tariffs rise to the expected 25 percent rate, a $5 frame will retail for $7.50, he said. "Business will go down," said McGowan. "So we've put expansion of our Easton distribution center on hold and it could be going away."
Most of the levies have yet to kick in, Hofmann said. She expects tariffs on an additional $200 billion in goods to be imposed next year. "Continuing down this track will only lead to more layoffs and higher prices," she said.
Distillers are worried because they have to set price points 12 months out, said panelist Robert Cassell, founder of Philadelphia's Millstone Group, which owns the New Liberty Distiller. "If our supply chain of local grain producers takes a hit and prices rise, we'll have to absorb those costs," he said.

Wooster Elementary School in the Greenbrier School District is a shining example of sustainability. It is the recycling center for the community and a learning environment for its students and parents on green building. As the first school in Arkansas to achieve a LEED® for Schools Silver certification, Wooster educates while enjoying lower operating costs through energy efficiency. Seeking LEED certification, Jackson Brown King Architects designed learning spaces with cutting-edge technology to lower energy costs. A combination of imprinted concrete and Grasscrete was chosen for the exterior walkways and play area. The Grasscrete is used to soften the space with grass and still allow for heavy foot traffic. Bomanite Licensee, Bomanite of Tulsa installed several thousand feet of Imprinted concrete with the Bomacron Coquina Texture, alternating with blocks of Grasscrete. The voids were filled with grass plugs.
Grasscrete attributes to LEED credits through reduction of Heat Islands, Water Effecient Landscaping and Stormwater Management. The Bomanite Imprinted Concrete uses Coquina Color Hardener that has an Albedo or Solar Reflectance of 0.5 – 0.6, falling within the LEED rated projects requiring an Albedo of >0.3 of surfaces requiring adequate Solar Reflectance.
Wooster Elementary School, completed in September 2008, demonstrates Greenbrier’s commitment to provide an environment for its students to become life-long learners with an emphasis on green living. | 2019-04-23T02:29:52Z | http://www.sustainablepavingsystems.com/project/wooster-elementary-greenbrier-ar/ |

Proper health care for an older dog requires more attention from an owner than when it was a puppy or young adult dog.
It is important to know when your pet is a “senior citizen” so you can make appropriate changes in its diet and exercise to ensure a longer, healthy life. As a general rule of thumb, dogs are considered senior around seven years of age.
A quick look around your favorite pet store will reveal most dry packaged dog foods carry the inscription “For senior dogs 7 years or older”. As a general rule, larger dogs are considered to be seniors around five or six, and smaller dogs around nine years. There is such a large variety of dog breeds and sizes that there is no single age that automatically designates senior status.
Most dog owners feel their dogs do not live long enough. A recent survey of more than 1,000 people showed that one third of Americans who own a pet dog have no idea when their dog is a senior dog. And with 71 million pet-owning households in the United States, this translates to millions of dog owners that don’t know how to provide the best care for their dog’s senior years.
One of the most common misconceptions among dog owners is that pets and their owners age differently. While the rate at which dogs age is different than humans, the changes that take place with advancing age are very similar. Both pets and humans either gain or lose weight, develop arthritic joints, encounter problems with their heart, and often experience dental problems.
Another misconception that seems to be common among almost all dog owners is if a dog is overweight it isn’t a major health concern. While obesity should be a major health concern for dog owners, sudden weight loss is also a serious health worry. Diseases such as cancer, kidney failure, and diabetes can cause weight loss and you need to schedule a visit to your veterinarian if your dog has a sudden weight loss.
The usual symptoms of obesity can be managed with proper diet and exercise. Winston’s Digest All can aid your dog in losing weight if it is overweight or obese. Aching joints and lack of energy can also be managed successfully with natural supplements like Winston’s Joint System formula. This highly recommended product has helped thousands of dogs who were suffering from debilitating joint diseases such as hip dysplasia and arthritis.
One of the most popular misconceptions now found on the internet is that exercise and dog toys that entertain and engage a dog’s senses are the best ways to prevent cognitive decline. The reality is that cognitive decline, or geriatric dementia, although most often associated with older humans, also affects older dogs who are prone to age-related dementia also. Dementia in older dogs usually becomes evident with inappropriate acts like barking in the middle of the night, urinary accidents in house-trained dogs, or becoming disoriented in his familiar home, and a lessening of interaction with family members. Dementia, which exhibits itself as a general disorientation, usually causes stress, anxiety, and fear, both in the dog and its human owner.
Some common age-related changes to watch for as your pet dog ages: He or she becomes less active, sleeps more, often develops a reduced sense of hearing and sight, is less able to handle temperature changes, and loses muscle mass. These changes may be symptoms of a disease, so be aware of any sudden weight loss or gain, sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, increased thirst or urinating more than usual.
When your dog reaches the start of his senior years, he will need your loving care more than ever. This is the perfect time to start your dog on Winston’s Senior Complete Multi vitamin supplement. This is the most powerful and complete once-daily multi vitamin for dogs 5 years and older. It contains almost 50 active ingredients from the healthiest sources available.
Maintaining good health care for your older dog is is the best way to repay your aging dog for the loyalty and pleasure it has given you for so many years. Show him or her that you love them as much as they have loved you. Spend time petting and just being with them. You may be surprised at the calming effect it produces in both of you. | 2019-04-19T01:04:48Z | https://www.dogshealth.com/blog/health-care-for-older-dogs/ |

Caption: A seascape calculation using the MPA and Fisheries Simulator.
It is a single, stand-alone software program with supporting materials including instructions and example files.
The tool simulates the dynamics of fish populations and fishery catch with a focus on the impact of MPAs. Although the tool has been designed primarily for education and training purposes, it can be used to support decision making on MPAs. It allows users to identify the best overall design of MPAs, including their total number, locations, and size, by taking into account fisher behaviour, local characteristics of the environment and connectivity between different areas through fish movements.
The user can open a habitat map and planning units or use the program to calculate planning units. Environmental characteristics and the connectivity of different planning units can also be loaded or calculated by using the program’s internal functions (examples are provided along with the user manual). Multiple species can be added simultaneously. The user can then specify the intensity of fishing and any desirable MPA scenario to simulate the impact on both fish populations and fishery catch.
The first and most simple approach to design MPAs in the program is to choose locations manually and by visualising the connections of fish larvae among planning units. The user can then compare the efficacy of multiple MPA designs to obtain an intuitive feel for how MPA location impacts the fishery and the contents of the MPA.
Secondly, the user can ask the software to create an optimal MPA design. The user specifies the objectives of the MPA design (e.g. to maximise fisheries). They can add existing MPAs and identify the locations of priority fished areas to support. The software then selects sets of MPAs that meet the objectives.
Finally, the user can animate their results to see how MPA and fishery benefits change over time.
Prior knowledge and expertise required to use the tools are minimal. | 2019-04-19T22:59:14Z | https://ccres.net/resources/ccres-tool/mpa-and-fisheries-simulator |
Fashion is a worldwide phenomenon, we already know that. Magazines have been, for a long time now, offered in every country and now from the diffusion of runways’ pictures on Internet, Fashionistas can pick up trends live from their favorite designers show, no matter the country. In theory, regardless of the personal approach of designers, this causes a similarity between all those Fashion Capitals. What can now separate New-York’s designers from Paris’ ? That’s why I have developed a certain curiosity causing me to analyze next summer’s fashion by city. The personality, the culture, the weather… all factors interfering with how designers will interpret in their own way worldwide trends. So, let’s take a look at what New-York’s Fashion Week offered us for those hot months.
The scarf is, for Marc by Marc Jacobs, a key element for next summerwear. Worn around the waist, as a headband or literally wrapped around the head, the scarf encourages our creativity. Plaid is also everywhere, but in a loose, colorful way, cohabiting with several other patterns on what seems to be soft comfortable cottons. Marc Jacobs wants us to be comfortable and joyful. Another detail caught my attention : those gray socks, wore with every heals. They are simply perfect for the look but, mostly, for next winter’s ensemble.
My first impression of Proenza Schouler’s show was that the clothes were fashionaly beautiful but still, not in touch with the everyday wear. In my opinion, the clothes lacked of feminity with rectangular silhouettes did not offset the beautiful and interesting patchwork of different leathers. But, by the end of the show, I was surprisingly impressed by the crowd’s prints, mixed with other pictures. There was also those dress covered with one big beach prints. Thus, I would say the prints were Proenza Schouler’s strength in the show.
Dona Karan offers us cool, urban clothes with a show composed with jeans pieces, filmy white shirts and silver accessories. Next summer’s DKNY woman wants to keep it neutral with an easy approach of fashion, focussing on comfort. The sporty cotton shirts, loose jeans burmudas accompany with a cap give an all-American look, celebrating a boyish but still not devoid of sexyness New-York woman.
Rodarte’s show attracted my curiosity. I could not find the words to describe the show. The Mulleavy’s sister went all the way into the pattern trend, adding up to five different one on one dress. Also, the use of what appears to be a plastron was really interesting, always constituting an element of contrast with the rest of the ensemble and giving a medieval thought to the clothe. But, mainly, Rodarte’s clothes were about the structures, the surprising shapes but mostly about the diversity of fabrics, trying crochet over leather, silk and nylon. Overall, Rodarte tried to push the limits of what can and cannot be wear together to encourage woman to be bold with fashion.
new technology to film Miss. Von Furstenberg week before the show.
So, class ? What have we learn from New-York’s last Fashion Week ? Simply put : we mix it all up! Fabrics, pattern. We can end up in a bohemian look a la Marc Jacobs or in chic tight dress, which proves this an adaptable trend. Then, designers gave a lot of attention to the structures of clothes, giving an unusual shape to clothes. Also, like every summer, flowers has come back in a diversity of shapes like the tropical Hawaiian one, the romantic one or the funny big colorful kind. Also, for the accessories, we like silver. We don’t care if it’s on the bracelet, the shoes, the belt or the clothes.
See you again by the end of London’s Fashion Week and thank you all for your great comments, they really are heart warmers in these cold fall days! | 2019-04-22T18:04:42Z | http://flanellemag.com/overview-of-new-yorks-fashion-week/ |

Environmental Impacts. Inorganic fertilizers are immediately available to your plants, but they are subject to leaching, a process that occurs when fertilizers are washed by rain or irrigation water below the level of plant roots.
However, the use of organic compound fertilizers for tobacco production gave higher yields than chemical fertilizer at the same N levels, although this effect was not seen until the second year.TeaThe Taiwan Tea Experiment Station conducted field trials on the effect of organic compound fertilizers in two sites in Taiwan in 1993.

Keeping track of the distinctions between Centro-matic and South San Gabriel could be a full-time effort, if one were so inclined. Based in Denton, Texas, Centro-matic once titled an album South San Gabriel Songs/Music, only to give a splinter faction of the participating musicians—meaning Centro-matic and more friends—the name South San Gabriel and release that album in Europe under the new band name. South San Gabriel includes the four core members of Centro-matic, plus additional members, but we’ll get to that shortly. You might be inclined to say that Centro-matic material tends to be more rockin’, with SSG its mellow, literary counterpart, and Will Johnson’s solo material as…well…usually (how shall I put this?) skinny-dipping in the abyss—but it would be a gross oversimplification.
Each of these projects shares all of the aforementioned respective qualities and more. What is distinctive about the release of Dual Hawks is that we get the chance to hear side-by-side the various ways in which Centro-matic and South San Gabriel complement and play off of each other—sort of the full-length equivalent of a split single. With Dual Hawks, the respective bands prove once again that they are one of the rare breeds who can do both. Catchy hooks, wiry guitars, harmonies and handclaps, splendid string and horn arrangements, and songs so well written and produced they will make indie-rockers of lesser mettle go home and cry.
Was Dual Hawks always conceived as a double album? Was it an excuse to get more songs out at once?
Where do the songs come from? Do they have a unifying thread?

For over a decade, outsider sub-cultures have influenced the mainstream. Now, a feature documentary finally explores that creative ethos driving youth culture and popular art today. First a traveling museum exhibition and book, Beautiful Losers, is now an unique documentary celebrating the independent and D.I.Y. spirit that unified a loose-knit group of American artists who emerged from the underground worlds of skateboarding, graffiti, punk and hip hop. Produced by Sidetrack Films, Beautiful Losers is an intimate and moving assessment of underappreciated yet wildly influential outcasts such as Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills and Ed Templeton. Informed by their individual experiences and the generation’s “Do It Yourself” culture, these artists left an indelible mark on the worlds of fashion, music, literature, film and ironically, sports. The story of Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of their contribution to artistic independence.

21 October 2015: The Communications Ombudsman received 15,542 complaints about telecoms providers in 2015 so far, according to figures published this morning.
This represents a rise of 5% on the same period in 2014. Complaints have risen by almost a third (35%) in the last three years.
The majority of complaints (31%) related to billing issues, such as complicated invoices, direct debit amounts or incorrect account details.
The full Ombudsman Services press release is available here.
“In the past couple of years the UK has seen major upheavals in both mobile and broadband infrastructure.
“BT Openreach and Virgin Media continue to roll out their fibre networks, while the UK’s four mobile network providers – EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three – vie for their piece of the 4G pie. It’s turbulent right now, and even a little chaotic.
“If the UK telecoms market were a sea it would be one whipped up by force-ten gales. Where there is turbulence and chaos, things go wrong more often.
“I’m aware that some are suggesting these results point toward a somehow more informed, righteous and/or bellicose consumer, but I really don’t believe that to be the case. There’s simply more that can – and therefore does – go wrong."

In the fall of 2002 I stopped painting. I didn’t intend to make a break with the medium, it just dawned on me that I could actually make these things that I had been picturing for years. I have always painted pictures of things. My thinking was abstract, but the imagery concrete. During the last several years I became increasingly interested in the theme of multiplicity - obsessively repeating an alphabet of emblematic motifs that had developed more or less organically throughout my history. This almost Hindu notion of infinite objects and events adding to and becoming the whole awoke in me a fascination with mechanical (re)production by means of mold making, casting, and industry in general. This line of thinking has taken me towards the notion of a modular form of sculpture that can be broken down and rearranged at will. This lends an industrial functionality to the work that playfully encroaches on architecture and design.
This work in sculpture, (painting), and bas relief is idiosyncratically American, its roots born in post war faux utopian consumerist wants dreams and desires, as well as real functionary needs. It is informed by sports cars, hot rods, speed boats, interstellar spacecraft. The design format remarks on graphic marketing systems: logos; emblems of the corporate identities they exhort – themselves imagined representations at once removed from people and products – the needs and functions they represent, referencing the entire synthetic aesthetic of a mechanized society. Markedly, the ultimate consumer item and demarcation of elitism, intellectualism, status, and surfeit wealth: art.
Road signs for the international freeway culture – the language of the open road; born of the mass industrialization of the twentieth century and successively evolving pathways splicing suburbia, dystopias, and eventually omnipresent throughout actual urban centers worldwide. This same vernacular has been recently applied to the internet’s fictive digital reality as directive signposts, guides to cyber systems, information locators (search engines) – a “Route 66” for superstores both quaintly physical and overtly artificial – pathfinders to what ever we may desire as a society as a whole or individuals within that stricture. What originated as an arrow to ‘John’s Farm: that-a-ways,” or a pile of rocks designating a pathway or landmark: “Over them mountains yonder,” has now all become fodder for commentary.
They rotate on signposts; they hang on chains suspended from the ceiling; or are mounted as placard on the walls – and they sell you …nothing! Themselves! They marketeer their own aesthetic of ambivalence.
A friend said, “They look like boogie boards for an alien ocean.” Actually though, the evolution of the work began several years back when I visited a hotel on the outskirts of Rome. It was decorated in rather grand 1970s chic. There were a lot of metallic tints and ornamental ceramic work. This was also around the same time that I first learned to drive a car. Having grown up in Manhattan it is not unusual to have limited experience with automobiles. Soon I started noticing those metallic colors on cars and began mimicking them in oil paint on canvas. Later on I started to favor sculpture over painting. It all came to a head when I started painting the sculptures for purely pragmatic reasons. (I was working with resins that are not UV stable and must be painted to stem degradation.) Soon I was set up with a virtual auto body shop.
Interestingly, I have found that the viewing public at large will more readily accept abstraction in a sculptural format than in two dimensions. A picture by its very nature implies that it is a representation of something, while in three dimensions it already is something which we can relate to viscerally. After all, all form is essentially abstract. A nose or a tree are only shapes until we assign meanings to them – learn what they are - during the first year or so of our lives. My paintings at the time came out of the abstract expressionist tradition of the New York School. That is not to say they were Ab X, I related far more to a surrealist model, but the improvisational, and chiefly biomorphic, modus operendi was rooted in the NY School. And so again the American reference in my recent work. The structure or armature, the substrate for the subsequent painting on the surfaces, is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) commonly known by the brand name Styrofoam. This material allows me to really have at it immediately with a freedom and spontaneity unavailable in other mediums. In general, sculpture requires quite a bit of technical foresight. But my method of carving the initial shapes from EPS and later coating it with resins – a technique very similar to making a surfboard – makes for a flexible approach akin to jazz, blues, and rock and roll. Metaphorically speaking, once the bass line is established the lead guitar can improvise freely, and it is the same with these painted sculptures in bas relief.
Recently a client asked me,"You're so dedicated. How did you decide to be an artist?" My reply: "I'm not dedicated at all. I do what I want. Dedication is doing something you don't want to do. As for deciding, I never decided to be an artist, I probably decided not to be one about a hundred times. But, you are what you are." Then she asked me the proto typical question: "Who are your influences?" But, I have a backwards way of looking at it. If my work starts to look like another artist I ditch it." | 2019-04-19T22:50:25Z | http://christopherchambers.com/words/statement.html |

I’m writing this post to my daughters, those beautiful middling-age women who grace my life, who still carry the bloom of youth on their cheeks, who sport only a few soft laugh lines here and there to mark the passing of the years – and perhaps a stray grey hair or two lost among the brightly-coloured strands.
It’s early yet; you have time ahead of you in which to adjust to the tiny changes that inevitably soften our faces and bodies as the years pass. Sooner or later, though, you will reach the point where age becomes a fact of your life and ushers in an important rite of passage.
Few people in our society recognize this period as a rite of passage, and there is no longer any ceremony to mark it; but it is nevertheless as important as the ushering in of a girl’s first blood or the time of bearing children or bringing a career into fruition.
When a woman has passed her child-bearing years, she enters the stage of life I call the Time of the Crone.
The title “Crone” hasn’t always been derogatory. In its most simplistic sense, the word designates an old woman, a woman past her childbearing years, a post-menopausal woman.
But did you know that the words “crone,” “hag,” and “witch” were once proud names for old women?
The word “crone” comes from “crown,” indicating wisdom emanating from the head; “hag” comes from “hagio,” meaning holy; and “witch” comes from “wit,” meaning wise.
In pre-Christian times, very old women were important members of communities: they served as midwives, leaders, artists, counsellors, and medicine women, and were viewed as the logical fulfillment of female life experience and wisdom, having grown from the youthful maiden, through the life-sustaining and generative work of the young woman, to the calm, evolved, and confident wisdom and compassion of the old woman.
The sources of wisdom in these old women lay in a lifetime of fierce commitment to caring and listening and connecting.
We are entering a time in the history of the world when there are more menopausal women than ever before. In the USA alone, some forty million American women are now in or past menopause, and another twenty million will reach that stage of life in the next decade.
The Baby Boomers, as we’re known, men and women born in the post-WWII period from 1946 to 1964, have changed society at every stage of our life, simply because there are so many of us. And as Crones, we elder women still have the opportunity to bring the richness of our wisdom to bear on those interests and concerns that move us at our stage of life.
A Crone is a woman who has moved past mid-life and who acknowledges her survivorship, embraces her age, learns from the examined experiences of her life, and, most likely, appreciates the wrinkles on her face.
As a woman moves past youth and midlife into old age, she consciously takes on the mantel of Crone – a woman who celebrates her survivorship, willingly choosing to continue forward in life with all the gusto she can muster. A Crone is a woman burnished bright by an inner fire that sharpens both her wit and her intensity, her passion and her power.
We are like trees, we humans, and the language of human aging is all wrong. We do not become old; we do not just pass through these discrete ages named infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, middle age, old age.
We are born as a core that is built up, layer upon layer, over all the minutes and hours and days and years of our lives. And all that richness of detail, every self we were at any point in time, is still there.
The layers change our concept of the core; sometimes they mask it, but they don’t erase it. The core and all the layers are available. The key is to find them, to see or hear or smell or feel them again.
I’ve become proud to accept the mantle of the Crone, and I hope that you wonderful women who call me mother will do the same when your time comes.
It’s in the Crone years that these words finally take on their true meaning. Life is a journey of experiences, ongoing learning and growth, both spiritual and human; and at no time are we more conscious of this fact than in our Crone years.
The time of the Crone is about gracefully adapting to the process of aging.
It is about quietly inspiring others by our actions as much as our words. It’s about being comfortable in our own skin and with our own spirituality – which, if nurtured, can become the bedrock of our lives.
It is about allowing our increased intuitive and creative energies to come into full blossom. It is about freeing ourselves to be the best of who we really, truly are….and discovering the quiet, intense joy inherent in this freedom.
Another beautifully relevant writing. I am happy to be on the path of embracing my Crone.
Hello! In my opinion–if we’ve tried to live a conscious, caring life–by the time we reach these later years, we’ve earned the right to wear the title “Crone” with considerable pride. I definitely do.
Love this Susannah! We’ve earned our “stripes” (in my case, gray hair).
You’re absolutely right. And those stripes can be any and all of grey hair, wrinkles, changes in our bodies, loss of hair…the list goes on.
Sadly, I never read The Velveteen Rabbit until I was a grandmother myself, but these words are now one of my lifetime favourite quotes. | 2019-04-22T02:49:13Z | https://susannahhay.com/2016/02/13/crone-chronicles/ |

What Do You Get from our Chefs Community?
I am vegetarian for over 30 years, cooking plant based meals for over a decade now. What fascinated me back then was the creativity i developed to fill the gap on my plate. Today I can say that a vegan diet is no way asceticism but the way to a deeper understanding of ingredients, health and compassion for other living beings.
Paying special attention to the principles of Ayurveda, means to understand the healing effects of food. This traditional system of medicine is based on studying the unique conditions of each one. Looking to personal attitudes, intolerances and being aware how to bring Joy and Love to our dishes, while avoiding animal products!
Means having an understanding for the needs of every group. Adjusting meals to the specific work they are doing here at Monte Velho by using ingredients and combinations that will support them for example in their meditation or yoga practice.!
We are giving our best to serve the fullest potential of ingredients.!
Foods are unprocessed, fresh and locally sourced. We like to challenge ourself by providing as much as possible from local farmers and homemade!
When I started cooking I followed the traditional kitchen, which contains a lot of meat and fish. I am a mother of three and when my youngest refused to eat meat, I started to cook vegetarian, which I am still doing now out of conviction. I would like to invite the guests of Monte Velho to experiment with their own eating habits and introduce them to this specific diet for the limited time of their stay, which I see as a chance and not as missionary work!
Working at Monte Velho in “Antónia´s Team” since 2015. Cooking in different projects, had bring me a lot of fresh ideas. It´s always a great privilege to contribute and improve as a Chef in a place of gathering like Monte Velho.
I am Quirina Kappert, mother to two beautiful boys and married to an organic farmer. Because of my passion for healing, cooking could not be left out. Working with what nature grows allows me to play and combine in a creative way delicious and healthy ingredients. This is my passion as a chef.
Ideally, pre-cook your rice and lentils and let cool. If you have some in the refrigerator as leftovers, even better (the drier they are the better). If not, cook them up, remove from heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 230° and lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, sweet potato, and walnuts. Process until finely chopped and uniform consistency. Add cooked rice and lentils and process once more, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add ketchup or tomato paste, mustard, flax meal, salt, cayenne (or black pepper), and stir well.
Add cornmeal until mixture is thick and you’re able to easily form a patty in your hands. Make small palm-sized patties. You can make them larger, but the smaller ones bake up a little better and have less risk of breaking apart.
Place formed patties on baking sheet, evenly spaced apart so they have room to cook and be flipped. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then carefully flip over. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until both sides are evenly browned and they have a nice crisp coating.
Serve on bread, bun, lettuce wrap of choice, or simply crumble over a salad. Top with your favorite burger fixings and save any for later. | 2019-04-20T10:50:32Z | https://www.montevelhoecoretreats.com/sustainable-living/food/ |
In French-speaking Wallonia, especially the province of Hainut, they feel that their beers are overlooked and underrated. They complain that no one in Flanders has heard of their ales. It would certainly be a tragedy if the beers of this region were to disappear, especially the style known as saison. Clearly they are seasonal beers and were brewed – and sometimes are still brewed by farmers who make them in the winter and store them for drinking during the hot summers, much like the bières de garde across the border in France. Saison are now made all year round. The name is another reminder that before refrigeration, it was difficult to brew in warm weather. The batch specifically brewed in spring to be laid down as a provision for the summer was known as la saison de mars (like the German Märzen) or sometimes Vieille (old) Provision – a term that dates from the time when these stored seasonal beers were an important part of the farmers nutrition and diet. These beers were traditionally brewed to be served at family meals.
It had to be sturdy enough to last for some months but not to strong to be a summer and harvest time thirst quencher. The classic brewery of Saison is Du Pont and has been run by the Du Pont family since the 1920’s.
Saisons are made to have a medium body and crispness and to deliver a robust flavour and big fruity character. The brewers of old sometimes worked to produce mashes that were only partly fermentable (to aid body).
One technique was to take the first extraction of juices from the malt at cold temperatures, producing milky turbid wort that was heated separately, and then added back for the mash. Sometimes the brewers used a small proportion of spelt (a variety of wheat that gives a very fine flour – or oats or rice both used raw).
Saisons flavour is heightened by a generous dose of hops usually of the East Kent Goldings and Styrian Goldings variety. Heavy hopping produces intense peppery spiciness. One brewer describes it as an aroma reminiscent of liquid snuff! Some beers are dry hopped.
In today’s saisons pale malts of Belgian and English varieties are predominantly used – perhaps gaining some colour in a long boil. Some artisan saison brewers still use dark and caramalts producing what we might call a dark saison.
The classic spiced saison producer is the Brasserie à Vapeur (small coal fired steam powered brewery). The beer is Saison de Pipaix 6.5% Alc and it is described as a fresh-tasting, fruity tart beer seasoned with six spices including star anise, black pepper, coriander, dried orange peel and medicinal lichen. Some brewers also use ginger along with the hops.
Saisons are top fermented beers. Traditionally fermentation was restrained by multistrain yeasts that worked quickly but not very exhaustively. These beers were also at least partly fermented in the cask. Today either Franco, English or Belgian strains – usually hybrids are used. These beers often have a warm conditioning in metal tanks at the brewery (8-13°C) and usually secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Most of these beers nowadays have a distinctive orange colour and a dense rocky head. Saisons have a refreshing crispness and lively carbonation with hoppy fruity flavours often with citric notes. Their tartness and fruitiness make them an excellent accompaniment to duck, hearty stews, spicy sausages or lamb with juniper berries.
Gravity of saisons is typically in the 1050-1055 range – although some Christmas specials weigh in at above 1065. | 2019-04-23T16:20:58Z | https://draymans.com/saison/ |
Whatever your perspective or experience, prayer is so much more. God wants to do so much more. As you listen to the sermons and think about your perspective and experience, we've provided a couple things to help you.
Prayer Discussion Guide - Each week we are creating a Discussion Guide for small groups, which anyone can use to think more deeply about the ideas in the sermon. It includes a summary of the message, questions for thought and discussion, the prayer challenge for the week, and prayer suggestions. Use it on your own, or talk about it with your spouse, family, or friends.
Prayer Worship Playlist - We have also compiled a playlist with worship songs we think will help you to seek the awe of praise and the intimacy of drawing close to God.
Here's the link to the worship playlist. Like our previous playlist created for Christmas, it will take you to Spotify, where you can create an account if you don't already have one - it's free and easy to do! | 2019-04-24T22:02:40Z | https://www.cerritosbaptist.org/blog/post/prayer-sermon |
The modified Cam - Clay model was used to model experimental results of a saturated residual sandy soil from Sao Carlos - SP. Triaxial compression tests were performed using Bishop - Wesley cell with internal transducers to measure axial and radial strains. It was observed that the model fairly fitted experimental results, specially the principal stress difference at critical state. In general it was observed a good qualitative agreement between experimental and predicted strain values, considering compression or expansion of the samples. However, in all the stress path used, but 100 degrees and 140 degrees, the model yielded strains larger than that measured in the tests.

An industry outsider could reasonably presume that hospitality professions involve working in actual hospitals within the medical realm. The words are similar and both deal with taking care of strangers, grueling work, and long hours; starting any new business from the ground up also involves depending on the kindness of strangers and committing to long hours and hard work.
While certainly not as intricate or lengthy a process as opening a restaurant, launching a website about the restaurant business can be a daunting venture and all-consuming adventure. An email sent into the unknown asking for a response is like a knock on a stranger’s door pleading to come in and be served.
I sent countless emails explaining Modern Restaurant Management’s mission to become a valuable resource for the restaurant industry. To my surprise, many people did respond to those pleas and went out of their way to greet and help a stranger in need.
As I spoke with more people, it seemed there were common threads woven in many of their stories about working in the hospitality profession: tales of passion and enthusiasm, falling in love with the creative process, seeking out mentors, and building relationships with staff and customers alike.
Below is a collection of 10 quotes from those conversations, as restaurateurs answer the question: What is hospitality?
Chef Eric LeVine told MRM his love affair with cooking began by watching his grandmother prepare family meals. That nourishment fueled his hunger to always learn and strive.
Today, LeVine is a Chopped champion, as well as the owner of a ravioli company, two restaurants - Morris Tap & Grill and Paragon Tap & Table - and the author of two cookbooks. He says one key to his success was finding a mentor with similar drive and passion.
LeVine treats his staff as family and regularly dines with them, which he views as a great opportunity to connect with them and educate them about his brand, the industry, the culinary arts, and more.
Bert Thornton, the Bert behind Bert’s Chili at Waffle House, agreed that the mentor dynamic is central to achieving success in any industry, as well as learning how to be a leader who recognizes the importance of giving back.
“I know a lot of successful people and I don’t know a single one who has not had a great mentor,” the Vice Chairman Emeritus said. “With success comes great responsibility and a part of that responsibility is to provide good ‘coattails’ – the responsibility to develop the next wave of leaders. It’s not what you have that’s important, but what you leave behind."
Levine also stresses the importance of hands on interaction as a relationship building technique: he makes an effort to travel from table to table during meal service, soliciting guest feedback; hearing these immediate reviews allows him to build strong relationships with his customer base.
Thornton still works behind the counter, both because it is part of the Waffle House culture to do so and because he believes it’s “where the action is.” He said having that face-to-face communication with customers enables the team to find out what improvements are needed, if any, and acquire information not readily available when you’re sitting behind a desk all day.
Listening to employees is also a key to empowering staff and showing how their efforts are valued in the restaurant ecosystem. Making those connections with customers and communities is the foundation to creating a brand, according to Thornton, who likens a company’s brand to a cattle brand in that it’s applied, not pursued.
When Modern Restaurant Management (MRM) magazine speaks with restaurateurs, we always ask them about who or what has inspired their restaurant journey. Countless times, the answer involves Union Square Hospitality Group CEO Danny Meyer and his hospitality-industry must-read, Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business. They want to share a meal and conversation with the man whose words on “enlightened hospitality” crystalized their own views and served as a model for their own actions.
Much has changed since the book’s 2006 publication and evolving technology is having an effect on restaurant operations, and the question begs: has Danny Meyer changed the nature of hospitality itself?
Susie Fogelson, the former Senior Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy at Food Network turned Founder and CEO of F&Co, believes restaurants with staying power understand the necessity of good food matched with enlightened service.
Hospitality has evolved to mold into today's lifestyle, whether it's convenience that's important or having free wifi,” said Laurie Hamm, proprietor of Ho-Ho-Kus Inn & Tavern in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, whose doors first opened in 1890.
For Hamm, hospitality remains all about the fundamentals.
Hamm echoes Meyer’s view that the experience of the meal is centered in how it makes that person feel.
Andrew Greene and Duncan Kwitkor, co-chefs and founders of the new-to-the-scene Abstract Table in Oakland, California, believe in creating a seamless bridge between FOH and BOH.
“At Abstract Table, we have created a ‘roundtable’ environment, with less emphasis on hierarchy and total focus on respect and understanding. There is no us-versus-them mentality in our restaurant family. Technology is a double-edged sword for the hospitality industry. Social media has had an immensely positive impact on our business in regard to visibility, which is especially critical for new restaurants. On the flip side, managing social media is time-consuming. We try to engage with our customers, respond to criticism, and improve our business as a result of this interaction."
Greene and Kwitkor note the balance many restaurateurs struggle with.
"We think that hospitality can be of the highest caliber without being pretentious or elitist. As restaurateurs and chefs, it is of utmost importance to us to provide an affordable, approachable fine dining experience that diners of all walks of life can indulge in without depleting their bank accounts."
Hospitality and F&B PR maven, Karen Schloss, of Diaz Schloss Communications, said she always remembers the words and actions of her major mentor Waldy Malouf, former Executive Chef at The Rainbow Room, chef/owner of Beacon and Waldy's Wood Fired Pizza + Penne, and now an educator/administrator at the CIA.
One story that stuck with me was that of Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery + Cafe. When she opened her bakery to share her love of baking with the world, she believed technology would get in the way of her hospitality philosophy and wanted to keep everything simple.
What she quickly realized was that her view of technology and hospitality did not align with her customers’ view. They wanted friendly service and tasty baked goods, but they also wanted the convenience of ordering ahead.
She realized that technology could make service more efficient, wait staff’s lives easier, and the guest experience more enjoyable. Needless to say, with seven locations, she was able to balance hospitality, convenience, and technology while still letting her brand and mission shine through.
While I was aware of the definition of hospitality, I had never encountered what truly defined the industry. For centuries, hospitality has been valued in disparate cultures across the globe. It’s considered a treasured spiritual gift by many religions and was even a duty required of citizens in ancient Greece.
Not just opening your door to strangers, but willingly welcoming and taking care of them is something we often strive for as humans, but rarely achieve. I should have never have been surprised by the response I received from an industry where helping strangers feel welcome is part of the everyday business and written down as its recipe for success. | 2019-04-24T05:59:20Z | http://www.go-wine.com/wine-article-1946-What-is-Hospitality-8-Restaurateurs-Define-Hospitality.html |

The Karner blue butterfly is one of the most diminutive (about the size of a nickle) and endangered of our butterfly species, having evolved dependant on one specific plant, the wild lupine. As this country plowed its prairie habitats for agriculture and cities and housing developments, the lupine and Karner blue populations crashed. Restoration plans are being implimented but it's always much more difficult and expensive to restore an environment than it is to destroy one.

The most valuable gift of God to man is perhaps the faculty of sight; without eyesight life loses much of its charm. It is vital, therefore, to guard the eyes and to preserve their faculty of sight. A person should look after his general health, follow the rules of hygiene and keep his eyes clean by washing them frequently. A simple expedient used in India for centuries is to apply collyrium to the eyes before going to sleep. In the morning the eyes are washed with water and wiped clean. In the hot season the eyes must be bathed in cold water many times in the day. Walking on the dew-covered grass helps maintain eyesight in addition to keeping the health of the person. One must desist from looking directly into the sun and other bright objects; great care should be taken to avoid the reflection of the sun in the water hitting the eyes as it is likely to burn the fundus (the central part of the cornea). Such an injury sustained by looking into sun when it is in eclipse or when it is reflected in the water leads to loss of eyesight in some cases.
If the eyesight becomes weak, glasses should be worn after consulting an eye specialist. Glasses should be worn constantly failing which the errors of refraction (the number of the glasses) goes on increasing. A healthy diet of milk, butter, fruits, green vegetables and proteins should be taken to take greater care of the body and the eyes. Raw carrots contain vitamins which help maintain the healthy eyes and should be taken in adequate quantities.
Dust, smoke, draughts of very cold or very hot winds, bright objects, reading books with a fine print in inadequate light, prolonged exposure to darkness, worry and sorrow are all harmful to the eyes and should be avoided. Constipating or wind-forming foods, alcohol and other intoxicating substances are also harmful and should be avoided.
The eye is a very delicate structure and nature has placed it in a deep, four-sided cavity in the skull, the edges of which are so prominent that a flat object resting on them does not touch the eyeball. The eye, as a consequence, is seldom injured by a blow, unless a sharp object pierces the eyeball. Many of the disorders of the eye can be cured only to a limited extent by the use of home remedies and in many cases, as for example in cataract, surgical interference is necessary. But if the opacity of the cornea (which leads to cataract) is noticed in the early stages of development, it can be handled with internal medicine. The most important thing, however, is to take care of the eyes and attend to the smallest trouble the moment it arises. | 2019-04-21T02:21:30Z | http://www.ayurveda-handbook.com/eye-disorders-eye-protection.html |

Welcome to the first Monday of spring! It also happens to be Market Flower Monday here at Red Cottage Chronicles. If this is your first time visiting, every other Monday I share my love of fresh flowers by sharing easy flower arrangement ideas for you to try.
I always try to keep the cost below $20, and this week my total for two bunches (3 different blooms) was just $16.
It is now officially spring and although last week I shared with you how to arrange flowers for spring, it was more about the gorgeous colors of spring. I am using cut spring bulbs in today’s arrangement.
When I was browsing the buckets of flowers at the grocery store I caught the heavenly scent that could only come from hyacinths. They had bunches of 5 cut hyacinths with 10 of the palest of pink tulips for just $12.
Problem was there was no greenery in sight.
That is a recurring problem at both grocery stores and the farmer’s market around here. No greens. At one local grocery store they have a full service floral counter and I am usually able to get a few stems when I shop there, but I wasn’t stopping there on this outing.
I did find pretty green ball Dianthus marked down to just $4 a bunch. I love the bright green color and they paired well with the lavender and pink blooms.
When I shared with you how to arrange roses, you may remember that I crisscross the stems to create a support system.
I did the same thing with this arrangement. Crisscrossing the stems below the water line helps them support one another and build height and shape. That is how I started this arrangement. Crisscrossing the stems of the hyacinths.
Next, I added in the Dianthus, cutting them a bit shorter than the hyacinths. I intertwined their stems with the hyacinths stems which made them easy to arrange exactly how I wanted them too. I wanted some standing up, and some leaning on the edge of the vase.
Finally, I allowed the curving stems of some of the tulips to determine the shape of the arrangement. Tucking their stems among the others gave the enough support, and let them follow the lip of the vase without them flopping limply over the edge.
One of the tulips had grown itself right into a ‘U’ shape. Placing it on the opposite side of the arrangement, it provides some balance in the overall shape.
I love having spring bulbs in the house while I am waiting for them to bloom outside! As soon as you come in the front door, the smell of the hyacinths greets you.
Not to mention, lavender and pink is one of my favorite color combinations. In fact, those were the colors that I choose for my wedding all those years ago.
I am so glad you stopped by today, and I hope you come back for more easy flower arrangement ideas on the next Market Flower Monday! And, if you like to entertain check out these easy flower arrangements to dress up your table!
All signs are pointing towards the fairer weather to come. Sunshine taking the chill away, bulbs popping up through the soil and buds on the flowering shrubs are starting to make an appearance! I am ready to welcome it all with open arms!
So pretty! We would love to have you link-up at Homestyle Gathering today! 😉 Pinned!
so the fuzzy green stuff (technical terms!) is Dianthus?
Yes it is Nikki! Green Ball Dianthus. Also known as Sweet William, I believe! I am hoping to find it to plant in my cutting garden this year! | 2019-04-21T00:27:59Z | https://www.redcottagechronicles.com/home-decor/easy-spring-flower-arrangement/ |
If you read enough Buddhist literature you will realise there is not just one Dhamma. The Dhamma that the Buddha taught is not the only one! This can come as a shock to some people but it need not be that way. Everything, from the smallest atomic particle, to the entire universe has its own Dhamma. Every individual person on our planet has their own Dhamma. The roses in you garden, the aphids that attack them and the treatment for those aphids that you use have their own Dhamma. Even your settee has its own Dhamma.
Dhamma basically means “the way things are”. It’s as simple as that. The Buddha taught Dhamma on a global and cosmic scale, as well as on the day-to-day life scale. He taught how the world works, how suffering is the nature of this world in which we live, and how to escape from that suffering. That is his Dhamma. He taught the Dhamma of this three-dimensional reality. He taught its impermanence, it’s unsatisfactorinss and it’s escape. If we wish to escape suffering, then we best follow his teachings, otherwise we will only end up back here, or worse, if we do not.
Dhamma is how things are. It is their pure nature, it is their fundamental reality. Dhamma explains exactly what makes up the thing in question. Tied in with the concept of Dependent Origination, which is another fundamental concept, you can, with enough practice, understand the true nature of anything you put your mind to. The two concepts may seem difficult to understand at first glance, and I will cover Dependent Origination in a future post, but once you have grasped them, nature falls into place quite easily.
Dhamma does not have to be difficult. At it’s essence, it is incredibly simple, which is why the ‘Breath Meditation’ practice is so simple. Simple practices lead to the realisation of simple concepts. They lead to those ‘Ah! That’s how it is!’ moments. Those moments are another step closer to final liberation.
A friend of mine once told me she had been taught a meditative technique that involved watching a pebble grow. Now I never quite got that at the time, but it would be a wonderful practice now. To actually see a pebble grow does not mean you see it get bigger, but it means you see it’s nature and reality as it really is, thus the pebble becomes more than your mind thought it to be in the first place. The pebble is, basically, a pebble, but your understanding of that pebbles nature grows over time. You could use your settee, oven, fridge, best mate or the leader of your country as the subject of your meditation, but a pebble is nice and simple. It will yield the same results thus negating any emotional complications in your practice.
As I said earlier, Dhamma explains the way things are. Atoms do what they do, cells do what they do, people do what they do, even nations do what they do. The world exists in the only way it can because of the nature of this three-dimensional reality. The human rebirth leads us to do what we do, whomever we are, and thus suffering takes place. Kamma acts in the way it needs to, whether good or bad, and 99% of the time no-one has a clue that this is the cause of their situation. To escape this round of rebirth and suffering one needs to follow the Buddha’s teachings. It may not happen in this lifetime, or the next, but if you start practicing now, then you have taken the first steps on the road to freedom. | 2019-04-21T17:06:38Z | https://www.dhamma.uk/2018/02/23/just-what-is-dhamma/?share=google-plus-1 |
Thanks be to God for every mite given to reach those who do not know our Savior - Jesus the Christ.
At the 75th Anniversary Convention in Albuquerque, NM, the membership chose a goal of $ 2,075,000 to be raised for Missions in this Biennium. It was an aggressive goal that reflected our 75th year of Mission Grants, but was done in complete trust in our gracious Lord.
As we come to the close of this Biennium let us fulfill the Anniversary goal that was set and celebrate God's goodness to the Lutheran Women's Missionary League. May His will be done with sacrificial joy as we live in Christ alone.

Since abortion occurs at an alarming rate in high school age teens, the need for education about alternatives to abortion is great. This grant will expand this campus ministry program to include Lutheran high schools. And since 17% of Lutheran high school students have no religious affiliation, Y4Life has an opportunity to tell these fellow classmates about Jesus and provide helpful information about alternatives to abortion and the sanctity of life.
By training student leaders and providing ongoing mentorship and support, students will proclaim Christ and raise their voices for life.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13–14).
NOLA 4H is the acronym for the LWML Mission Grant #8 — Hearts for the Hungry, Homeless, and Hurting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Six LCMS congregations, whose own church buildings experienced flooding from Hurricane Katrina, are reaching out with the help of the LWML to show the love of Jesus by providing food, shelter, and comfort to those still suffering with homelessness and lack of basic necessities in the hardest hit neighborhoods.
Your Mite Box offerings, given in prayer, will go towards equipping each of the fellowship halls of the six churches to serve more people with Bibles, shelter, food, clothing, toiletries, clinics, and counseling.
I know we’ve all seen the pictures of hungry children, and the situation tugs at our hearts. We might even have said “I wish there was something I could do to help.” Well, the truth of the matter is that you (all of us) are helping.
At the Albuquerque LWML Convention delegates voted to fund a $ 40,000 grant for providing food to starving children. This grant was the number one vote-getter out of all the proposed grants. One half of this grant has already been funded. Our mite gifts on Giving Tuesday will help fund the balance and provide food for the hungry.
Mercy Meals of Siouxland (Iowa West) has packaged over a million meals of fortified rice/soy meals for the starving children all over the world. With one regular packaging event held each month, along with several special events, meals have been packaged and sent to countries like Haiti, the Philippines, and Liberia, including a children’s orphanage in Bucharest, Romania. Approximately 45,000 meals are packaged during a single event.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:16-18).
When I was a kid, I did not know the might of the Mite Box. I just wanted one so that I could put money in it to help the kids in other countries and build buildings that I heard my mother talk about. She was helping so I wanted to help. After all, I went to those LWML meetings too (sitting quietly while the ladies held their meeting). The youth I have met over the past years are not sitters. They are doers and want to fully participate in the mission of the LWML. Let’s help by empowering them, trusting them, and valuing their opinions. Work with them to establish an LWML group of their own and offer them a seat on the zone or district board. They are ready to serve with you now as they prepare to be our future leaders.

There are many people around the world who will never have regular medical care, and may not see any sort of medical assistance more than once a year, if that often. Occasionally, this is the only time these individuals will see profession medical help.
LCMS Medical Mercy Teams travel to countries around the world where little medical help is available. They see hundreds of people every day for a week, often for easily treated illness. And often the patients they see will have waited for a couple weeks in advance of the teams arrival to their area.
Your mites will provide nursing students the opportunity to travel with a Medical Mercy Team to another country. and connect with people in way they might never be able to otherwise.
Wow! That caption, found in the Biblical Orthodox Lutheran Mission’s (BOLM) October newsletter, grabbed my attention. The heart of that article was the miraculous conversion of a former member of ISIS. The miracle of non-believers coming to faith in Jesus Christ is a regular occurrence because the Holy Spirit inspires men and women across the world to pray and donate to LWML Mission Grants, enabling organizations like BOLM to expand their ministry and reach more people with the message of salvation through Christ.
Rev. George Naeem, Executive Director of BOLM stated, “May the Lord continue to bless LWML and all the leaders and ladies who are working faithfully to spread the Gospel and bring many lost to His Kingdom.
Rev. Naeem will be happy to email you their monthly newsletter. Contact him at gnaeem@comcast.net or BOLM’s website at bolmmission.org.
I take great comfort in knowing it is not my responsibility to convert the non-Christian. That great power is carried by our Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But I am humbled and honored that God allows me to be His missionary as I donate to these grants. Join me in sharing His story through LWML Mission Grants!
Continue to pray for all the mission grants. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday, November 27, you may donate toward the 2017–2019 LWML Mission Goal by using LWML Facebook, or at this website, lwml.org/givingtuesday. Your donation will be doubled on that day, thanks to the commitment of two generous donors. | 2019-04-25T13:56:11Z | http://www.lwml.org/weekly-article?page=5 |
Edwards & Ragatz Does It Again!
Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit upheld the dismissal of 750 tobacco smoker cases filed by a Jacksonville law firm. The reason why? The Florida law firm that brought the cases had mistakenly identified 588 dead smokers as still being alive. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to toss 588 personal injury suits and 160 loss of consortium cases filed on behalf of spouses and children of those “predeceased plaintiffs,” and two wrongful-death cases that were barred by the statute of limitations.
“As any lawyer worth his salt knows, a dead person cannot maintain a personal injury claim; under Florida law, a loss of consortium claim is ‘derivative in nature and wholly dependent on [the injured party’s] ability to recover,’ ” the appeals court said.
The dead-plaintiffs problem wasn’t discovered until early 2012, four years after the suits were filed. The appeals court said it would not allow the suits to be amended or a personal representative to be substituted for the dead plaintiffs. “We affirm the District Court’s conclusion that the years of unjustified delay and obfuscation stripped plaintiffs’ counsel of whatever rights to amendment that they might have had if they had brought the defects to the court’s attention in a timely fashion,” the appeals court said.
The cases were among 4,432 claims filed in 2008 on behalf of individuals by the Wilner Firm in Jacksonville. The firm filed the cases after the Florida Supreme Court disbanded the last phase of a statewide smoking class action, giving the plaintiffs one year–until Jan. 11, 2008–to file individual claims for damages. The firm’s name partner, Norwood Wilner, had tried one of the first successful smoker cases in 1996, and the firm collected names of thousands of smokers who called the firm while they were covered by the pending class action. Many of those people could not be located after the class action was disbanded, but suits were filed on their behalf to beat the deadline, the appeals court said. | 2019-04-21T20:26:43Z | https://edwardsragatz.com/personal-injury-attorney-blog/law-firm-mistakenly-identifies-dead-smokers-as-alive-in-588-suits-11th-circuit-upholds-dismissal/ |
I recently conducted an informal survey on the experience of 3D cinema. Due in part to the digital revolution in Hollywood just prior to 2005, 3D films have now become a staple of local Cineplex Cinemas. During the time leading up to writing this article, at the Peterborough Galaxy Cinemas, there were about three 3D films to choose from in a given week.
77 individuals participated in the short survey. 21 of these were surveyed at Galaxy Cinemas. To get more informative results, a larger sample is sorely needed. In further quantitative research, I would consider sets of questions about film genres and the 3D experience – several respondents noted that 3D is best employed in specific genres.
In the below summary, bolded phrases indicate the question on the survey. Thank you to all the respondents.
First of all, I wanted to know why individuals were going to see movies in 3D. Did they value the experience of 3D itself, regardless of movie (22% response)? Was it the movie itself that appealed to them, without reference to the dimensional presentation (34% response)? Or was it merely the scheduling that forces audiences into a particular screening (32% response)? Surveyed respondents could select more than one answer to this initial question, so we see that the appeal of a certain film and the scheduled time likely results in more 3D attendance. Several respondents made such a comment – they don’t actively seek out a 3D movie unless it is the only option available.
What does the 3D cinema experience offer? I suggested a few possible answers since it is sometimes difficult to describe your sensations or aesthetic judgments, and more than one answer was possible: 3D offers a heightened bodily experience (15%), better depth of field (24%), and has its own unique aesthetic and styles (36%). 16% also said 3D adds nothing to their film experience.
Most found the experience of 3D generally enjoyable, or that it varies (64%), while a smaller number found it rarely enjoyable or deplorable (25%). Very few believed the extra three dollars are worth the added benefits of 3D (10%) and in fact, many participants strongly believed it is not worth the extra cost (40%). Others thought it occasionally worth the cost or worth the cost on Tuesdays during cheap movie night (49%).
I thought to do this study inside Galaxy Cinemas with audiences of one title screened in both 2D and 3D. Without reason, Cineplex turned down my request to conduct research. The very small sample I collected in front of the theatre generated similar results, but perhaps a larger theatre sample might prove more positive attitudes towards 3D cinema: 33% of the theatre-goers said 3D was worth the extra cost while out of the general sample, 10% agreed that it was worth it.
One significant finding of the survey was movie attendance. Only three participants never go to the movies in a given year. Remarkably, almost half see six or more movies a year, with nearly a third going more than 10 times a year.
I pulled these six+ movie attendees from the data. Most were going to see more 2D screenings than 3D. The simple answer is that there are more 2D screenings (20%), but a few individuals wanted to see more 3D (9%). A majority of participants actively viewed 2D screenings because they felt that 2D is superior and/or 2D is cheaper (58%).
Cineplex offers a reduced number of 2D screenings (or sometimes none at all) for their 3D films, and will usually schedule the 2D screenings in the afternoon. If a large percentage of the audience is going to the theatre to see a particular film, regardless of 3D or 2D presentation, the extra profit made from the 3D tickets certainly adds up over a number of screenings.
The data from the general group and the active cinema-goers unsurprisingly indicated that spectators want a more even split between 2D screenings and 3D screenings (38% and 46%). Further, in the general group and active cinema-goers group, a third even preferred more 2D screenings than 3D screenings. Lesser numbers believed that 3D films should be solely seen in 3D (24% and 17%).
Going to the cinema costs money – both spectators and corporation know this. The data suggests that customers are not satisfied with their experience of 3D for the price paid. Only 10% of the surveyed respondents were consistently pleased with 3D films.
In the comments section of the survey, there was some appreciation of 3D films with the caveat that superb, innovative 3D films are rare.
Several complained about the added cost and a few felt that 3D is a useless gimmick that distracts from the movie/story/acting.
Finally, the most frequent comment: people with prescription glasses have a hard time getting the 3D glasses to fit properly.

Many Americans can't be bothered to watch foreign films. The subtitles, you know. Luckily, Hollywood is always ready to jump in with an unnecessary remake. TIME picks the best of the bunch.
Fans of Swedish coming-of-age teen-vampire movie (and if a film ever defied categorization, it’s this one) Let the Right One In (2008) passionately swear by it and would likely swear at the people behind its Hollywood remake, Let Me In. But the truth is that Hollywood hasn’t let them down. Director Matt Reeves (best known for helming Cloverfield) cannily co-wrote Let Me In‘s screenplay with John Ajvide Lindqvist, who penned the original Swedish novel. The update casts Chloë Grace Moretz in the lead role of Abby, and neither she nor the always reliable Richard Jenkins (the father) disappoint, with the action moving from Stockholm to New Mexico (both locations appear equally cold). It’ll inevitably be called “the thinking man’s Twilight,” and with good reason. The right movie is indeed being let in to theaters. | 2019-04-21T07:10:30Z | http://entertainment.time.com/2010/10/01/top-10-hollywood-remakes/ |
Combine four whole eggs and four egg yolks (reserve the four whites) in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Whisk together. Stir in one cup of the sugar, salt, lemon juice, and zest and stir until smooth and the salt has dissolved. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened like pudding, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Strain into a medium bowl and chill. Beat the cream in a separate bowl to medium peaks and refrigerate.
Place the egg whites in the clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on high. Reduce the speed to medium and slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, whisking until you have stiff peaks. Remove the lemon curd from the refrigerator and alternately fold in the whipped cream and the egg whites until mixture is smooth. Spoon into eight small bowls and chill for one hour. Serve with whipped cream or fresh fruit. Can be made one day ahead, covered, and refrigerated. | 2019-04-19T00:36:41Z | https://charlestongivesback.com/recipes/lemon_mousse |
