Cold shoulders, split sleeves, or peek-a-boo sleeves. Whatever you prefer to call this clever style detail, I can’t rave enough about the gorgeous effect that it has on the body. The silhouette is both covered and alluring. Breezy and interesting. Ageless and timeless.
The beauty of the style lies in the cut out effect that exposes a small portion of the top part of the shoulder and upper arm, but nothing else. In my mind, this is always a pretty part of the body and worth exposing. The cut out also creates an attractive drape. Furthermore, you don’t need to wear a special bra, and a camisole is optional unless the fabric is sheer. Ideal for hot weather.
You’ll find cold shoulder detailing on tops and dresses, both in knits and woven fabrications, solids and patterns, and all sorts of styles. Of course, some cold shoulders are more cut away than others and it’s up to you to find the version that is the most suitable.
I’ve fitted a cold shoulder dress or top on petites, regulars, plus sizes and tall ladies of all ages and they ALL look divine in the style. Remarkable! Dare I say it’s a pretty flop proof vibe. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Collaboration builds and expands upon decades of work in the community
DETROIT – July 30, 2020 –The Children’s Foundation and First Tee announce today a formalized partnership. The Foundation will operate First Tee – Greater Detroit to continue providing valuable programmatic services and develop new tools and methods to fulfill its mission and reach more youth.

Feel the subtle energy with this WIND HORSE & Bell Natural Red Agate Stone Bracelet
The Wind-Horse s a mythical Tibetan creature from pre-Buddhist times that combines the speed of the wind and the strength of the horse to carry prayers from earth to the heavens.
The image of the Windhorse is drawn on the center of a Tibetan prayer flag while the outside corners are guarded by the four great animals : garuda (wisdom), dragon (gentle power), tiger (confidence) and snow lion (fearless joy).
The Wind horse sterling silver charm with its ancient coin symbol is also paired with a small bell to symbolically ring in harmony.
Also a bracelet sure to be appreciated by any Horse Lover!
Red Agate has a strengthening and stabilizing energy that will help you in your daily tasks. It will help you balance your energies and direct them appropriately
Agate will also make sure that positive energies flow through you non-stop. It will keep you energized and empowered. It will keep you feeling positive and uplifted, perfect compliment for Wind Horse energy.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the mind is seen as being dependent on, or mounted on, the subtle energy or inner air or wind within the body. This subtle energy is therefore called the ‘wind horse’ or the life force . Whether the wind-horse is strong or weak determines whether positive or negative tendencies dominate the mind. On an everyday level, the windhorse is also very much linked to what is commonly known as ‘good luck’.
It has long been believed that the simple Red Rope bracelet has protective energy and wearing one of these can protect you from evil and remove the surrounding negative energy and bring peace, harmony and luck into your life.
Red is also the color associated with wealth and power.

Pope Francis: 'Prayer is breath of faith in war-torn world'
In a preface for Cardinal Comastri's new book, "Praying Today. A Challenge to Be Overcome", Pope Francis invites Christians to prepare for the 2025 Jubilee through fervent prayer for our conflict-ridden world.
By Francesca Merlo
In the preface of a book published on Tuesday, 23 January, Pope Francis emphasises the importance of praying insistently as wars are fought around the world.
The Pope's preface introduces Cardinal Angelo Comastri’s "Praying Today. A Challenge to Be Overcome", which was published by the Vatican Publishing House (LEV) in connection with the Year of Prayer.
“Prayer is the breath of faith; it is its most proper expression," writes Pope Francis.
It is not easy to find words to express the mystery of prayer, continues the Pope, adding that despite the many definitions from saints and masters of spirituality, “it can only ever be described in the simplicity of those who live it.”
Texts as we head into the Jubilee
Cardinal Comastri’s book is the first in a series of brief texts set to be published throughout the Year of Prayer, which was launched on Sunday by Pope Francis ahead of the Jubilee of 2025.
Pope Francis explains that this series seeks “to promote this Year of Prayer" and to help Christians "to enter into the various dimensions of prayer."
He thanks the various authors of the series for their contributions, adding, "I gladly place these 'Notes' in your hands, so that each one may rediscover the beauty of entrusting oneself to the Lord with humility and joy.”
In fact, “the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025 is just around the corner," continues the Pope in his preface, wondering: "How can we prepare for this event, so important for the life of the Church, if not through prayer?”
Scenario we live in calls for prayers
Pope Francis describes the modern-day need for “a true spirituality, capable of responding to the great questions that arise every day in our lives, provoked also by a world scenario that is certainly not serene.
He then highlights this world scenario by shining light on “the ecological-economic-social crisis aggravated by the recent pandemic; the wars, especially the one in Ukraine, which sow death, destruction, and poverty;” and “the throwaway culture of indifference.”
“These phenomena contribute to generating a heavy climate, which prevents so many people from living with joy and serenity," says the Pope. "We need, therefore, our prayer to rise with greater insistence to the Father, so that He may hear the voice of those who turn to Him in the confidence of being answered."
Various pastoral initiatives
Pope Francis says the Year of Prayer should not undermine pastoral initiatives carried out in particular Churches.
Rather, he adds, the Year seeks to “recall the foundation on which the various pastoral plans should develop and find consistency. It is a time in which, both personally and as a community, one can rediscover the joy of praying in a variety of forms and expressions."
The Holy Father invites everyone to embrace humility so as to make room “for the prayer that flows from the Holy Spirit,” as “it is He who knows how to put the right words in our hearts and on our lips to be heard by the Father.”
Contributions of consecrated men and women
Pope Francis also prays for bishops, priests, deacons, and catechists, assuring them of his certainty that they will “find in this year the most suitable ways to place prayer at the basis of the proclamation of hope that the Jubilee 2025 intends to make resound in this troubled time.”
The Holy Father highlights the contribution of consecrated persons, especially communities of contemplative life, as being “very valuable.”
He expresses his hope that “in all the shrines of the world, privileged places for prayer, initiatives will increase so that each pilgrim may find an oasis of serenity and depart with a heart full of consolation.”
Finally, Pope Francis extends his invitation to all, praying that “personal and community prayer become unceasing, without interruption, according to the will of the Lord Jesus, so that the Kingdom of God may spread and the Gospel reach every person who asks for love and forgiveness.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
That's not because not enough people love him.
You mean flapping ridiculously and going nowhere, Carol?
Because everyone loves Hal Jordan.
They can't all look like Kairo, Hal.
Well... almost everyone.
The Batman is not a gentle lover, but he's a fun date.
It's because Hal Jordan cannot possibly get all the love he deserves, not even from Hal Jordan.
It's really best not to think about what Hal does when he's alone.
So here's a little love from me for Hal; his own Heroclix map:
We know very little visually about Coast City (Hal spends most of his time flying in space, sucking face, or staring in a mirror). Depicted here is the view I imagine of it as Hal flies in from the Pacific Ocean.
On the lowest level there's a little resort, with a boardwalk and beach. On the level above it, one of those winding roads on a California cliff. On the top level where the actually city lies off the edge of the map, I've given it a "Hollywoodland" style sign, assuming it would be as vain as he is. Or perhaps they just put it there so Hal remembers where he lives.
And of course, I've used only the colors of Hal's costume, so he'll feel at home. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On March 17th, I had the honor of addressing an audience of higher education professionals at the Greentown Lake County conference.
The panel, entitled “Greening of the Campus: How Educational Institutions Combat Climate Issues,” kicked off with a welcome from representatives of our host, College of Lake County (a signatory to theACUPCC): President Jerry Weber and Acting Assistant Vice President for Workforce Development Ali O’Brien. We then transitioned into a lively panel discussion featuring Richard Schultz, Sustainability Center Coordinator at Kankakee Community College; Kana Wibbenmeyer, Associate VP of Facilities at Loyola University Chicago; and David Agazzi, Vice President, Administrative Affairs at College of Lake County and Former Chief Financial Officer of Joliet Junior College.
- How has sustainability been integrated throughout your campus culture?
- What were some strategies used to incorporate sustainability into both curriculum and operations at your institution?
- Who are the important players for funding, buy-in, etc.?
I was very impressed with the sustainability efforts at all three schools, particularly the ways they are bringing a sustainability lens to the academic experience of their students, and the beautiful high performance buildings being built. Loyola’s story of pursuing sustainability goals while also turning around a serious financial situation in a short time resonated with me in this difficult economic climate, reinforcing our position that the sustainable path is also the best economic path.

Nine bullets fired from close range ended the life of Salman Taseer last month, making the Pakistani governor the latest high-profile victim of religious violence. Taseer had the audacity to publicly question Pakistan's blasphemy laws, and for this transgression he paid with his life.
Taseer joins a list of numerous other high-profile victims of militant religion, such as Dr. George Tiller, the Kansas abortion doctor killed by a devout Christian assassin in 2009, and Theo Van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker whose provocative movie about Islam resulted in his being brutally murdered in 2004.
With this background, it is especially puzzling that the American media and public still perpetuate the cliché of so-called "militant atheism." We hear the disparaging term "militant atheist" used frequently, the unquestioned assumption being that militant atheists are of course roaming the streets of America.
In fact, however, while millions of atheists are indeed walking our streets, it would be difficult to find even one who could accurately be described as militant. In all of American history, it is doubtful that any person has ever been killed in the name of atheism. In fact, it would be difficult to find evidence that any American has ever even been harmed in the name of atheism. It just does not happen, because the notion of "militant atheism" is entirely fantasy.
When the media and others refer to a "militant atheist," the object of that slander is usually an atheist who had the nerve to openly question religious authority or vocally express his or her views about the existence of God. Conventional wisdom quickly tells us that such conduct is shameful or, at the very least, distasteful, and therefore the brazen nonbeliever is labeled "militant."
But this reflects a double standard, because it seems to apply only to atheists. Religious individuals and groups frequently declare, sometimes subtly and sometimes not, that you are a sinner and that you will suffer in hell for eternity if you do not adopt their supernatural beliefs, but they will almost never be labeled "militant" by the media or the public. Instead, such individuals are called "devout" and such churches are called "evangelical."

“Excuse me! Excuse me!” A male voice called out from the large doorway in strident voice as if he had been standing there for twenty minutes waiting for recognition.
I left the 2002 Buick I was under the hood of, and walked out to greet him. As soon as he saw me coming toward him, he launched into a string of unrecognizable jargon. I’d of rather he kept yelling if he could have done it coherently. We danced at the door for a few minutes with me repeating the phrase ‘I have no idea what you just said’ and him repeating the same non-language; but slower, and louder. Finally realizing I had no intention of playing the street lingo game, he decided to make what he was saying relatively understandable.
“I see you alone, man. Have any work I could do around here?”
Let me explain Workman’s Compensation in
“Well who does your sweepin’ and clean-up?”
“I do it. I’m too small time to hire clean-up crews or even another mechanic. It’s just too expensive.”
He thought this over for a moment; and I took the opportunity to turn toward my Buick, only not fast enough to escape his next conversational step I had figured was coming.
“How ‘bout lending me…”
“Sorry, I don’t give out money here,” I cut in, as I returned to the hood of the Buick.
“Well, let me borrow a can opener,” he calls out after me.
I start laughing.
“It ain’t funny, man,” he petitions for understanding, to no avail.
“Yea, it is,” I replied. “I don’t have a can opener because everything is pop-top these days, even soup cans; but I don’t loan items out of here anyway, so it really wouldn’t matter if I did have a can opener. Now…”
“You ain’t very Christian, man!” He pronounces judgment on me.
“Yea, I am,” I disagree again, “but I have enough lion in me to believe God helps those who help themselves. You were on the right track when you came in here. Try getting hired on at a place needing help.”
“It’d be different if I was a white man,” he pulled the race card, to no avail. Been there, done that.

The recent crash of more than 40% in the price of Bitcoin caused a lot of uncertainty in the market. This was a huge hit to not only the investors, but also the miners. Dovey Wan, founding partner at Primitive, was one of the first ones who raised the awareness of what is happening in China and tweeted a video explaining that due to the crash it became unprofitable for the small miners to operate.
BRUTAL: this is what’s happening now in a China based mining site …. 😨😨 pic.twitter.com/gcN4lVTyBt
— Dovey Wan 🦖 (@DoveyWan) November 20, 2018
Miners are an essential part of Bitcoin’s ecosystem as they participate in a proof-of-work which is crucial for transacting Bitcoin. In a mining business just like in any other there are two main factors that affect the profitability: the revenue (the value of Bitcoin mined) and the costs of running the business (incl. the cost of electricity). There is a highly positive correlation between profitability, number of miners in the network, difficulty, hash rate and security of the network. Once the value of Bitcoin drops or the the price of electricity increases it become harder for small miners to profit or at least break-even (the chart bellow compares the price of electricity to mine 1 BTC all around the world).
The revenue of mining was increasing over time (graph bellow) so, it all depends on when they got in the business and how they managed their profits. Also, it might be a perfect time for miners to expand their position in the market by purchasing mining facilities at a discount or clearing the old and more wasteful technology.
Decrease in miners last week resulted in Bitcoin’s network hash rate drop. This means that the network became slower at processing transactions until the next difficulty adjustment comes. Difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks and one block should take around 10 minutes. If hash rate drops 50%, the block will statistically be mined twice slower. This is a self regulating system and it resolves itself pretty well.
Effect on Security of the Network
The decreased number of miners raises the threat of an attack such as >50% hashpower (the graph bellow). This attack may have the most harm to Bitcoin network because bad actors by gaining >50% hash rate may try to take actions such as claim all the block incentives, perform double spending, reject or include transactions as preferred, this could potentially have a high impact on every user in the network.
The most recent analysis showed that it would cost 1.4 billion USD to execute such an attack. Malicious actors would have either built their own facilities (it would require 2.4 million of the most advanced ASIC computers, infrastructure, buildings, labor, ventilation and etc.) or co-operate with the existing Bitcoin miners that have such facilities.
It is hard to imagine any entity gathering such an amount of funds to try execute such an attack. Some say that the most realistic possibility would be China’s government enforcing the Chinese miners to do it (as 70-80% of miners are located in China).
Even though it is unlikely to happen users are cautious of it. Therefore, in July 2014 when mining pool ghash.io exceeded 50% of the bitcoin network’s computing power it voluntary reduced to bellow 40%. 51% attack is more realistic to be happening on other cryptocurrencies with smaller networks as for instance it happened to Bitcoin Gold in May,2018.
Bitcoin miners are in a declining business cycle phase right now where they have to adapt to the changing business environment by implementing various business strategies. Some of the strategies may be to get rid of inefficient rigs, pause the mining until market recovers to a certain level, move business to a location where the production costs are lower, etc. Some businesses may completely exit the market.
Bitcoin network is still the most secure network in the world and even if 51% attack would happen it would be only a try to attack with unlikely successful outcome. A similar 51% attack happened last year, when Bitcoin was forked and B2X had more than 50% of hash power, markets simply decided not to value B2X at a high price – Bitcoin did fine, attackers lost millions and capitulated. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Since I literally cannot travel anytime soon (unless one of you lovely people out there would like to finance a trip for me :}), I have to enjoy whatever memorabilia or photos I have from trips past.
I've never been inside the Tower of London, though I've been right next to it, but someday I guess I should take a tour. Amazing how this place went from being a royal residence to a daunting prison. At least one Catherine I know (Howard, the fifth wife of Henry III) was beheaded here. Her cousin Elizabeth survived her stay at the Tower, and lived long enough to send others here to their ultimate demise (or sometimes just a frightening stay.)
That's just a fraction of the historical events that transpired at the Tower, I don't even want to get into the torturing. But I have to say, stare at this place from the bridge and you'll be impressed.

The fear of death is an intrinsic part of the human condition that knows no boundaries of culture, age, or belief. It has the power to constrain us from living life to its fullest potential.

Let us embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, unlocking the profound wisdom hidden within us.

Understanding the Fear of Death:
Confronting the inevitable: Death is an undeniable part of the human condition. By acknowledging its certainty, we can begin to grasp the roots of our fear.
Fear of the unknown: The fear of death arises from the uncertainty surrounding what lies beyond this life, challenging our beliefs and understanding.
Coping with loss: Death represents the loss of loved ones and the fear of permanent separation from them and a worry about what will happen to them after we have gone.
Spiritual and philosophical perspectives: Exploring different spiritual and philosophical beliefs about death can offer comfort and provide a broader understanding of its place in the cycle of life.
Mindfulness and acceptance: Practicing mindfulness can help us develop a deeper acceptance of our mortality and live more fully in the present moment.
Cultivating gratitude: Appreciating the gift of life and the experiences it brings can counterbalance the fear of death with a sense of gratitude.
Death as a motivator: Recognizing the finite nature of life can serve as a powerful motivator to pursue our dreams, take risks, and make the most of our time.
Prioritizing what truly matters: The fear of death can prompt us to reevaluate our priorities, focusing on meaningful relationships, personal growth, and experiences that bring joy and fulfillment.
Legacy and memory: Embracing death can involve contemplating the legacy we leave behind and the memories that will endure beyond our physical existence.
While the fear of death is a natural part of being human, it is possible to transcend it and live a more meaningful life. By acknowledging our mortality, shifting our perspectives, and embracing the present moment, we can transform our relationship with death. In doing so, we can find greater peace, appreciate the beauty of life, and make the most of the time we have been given.
Remember, in the words of Steve Jobs, “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A new phenomena is the spiral growth of branches in the crowns of trees. Normally branches grow phototropic, in the direction of the light. Nowadays we find many trees in these urban regions without phototropic growth. We find this at deciduous trees and conifers. There seem to be a disturbance of cell growth.
The cause of this was not yet found. Maybe recent changed circumstances in the environment have a relation with this new phenomenon. It is known that the electric field of the earth has a relation with the growth of branches. If the fields of mobile telephony have influence at the growth of trees (by their by their electromagnetism spectrum or by their pulsed frequencies) must be investigated. Monitoring shows that trees with spiral growth branches also often have striations on the bark and phloem nodes.
This influence at the cell level is worrisome. The outcome of growth deviation is unknown but must be investigated at short time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to be a mother of a girl if you’ve only had boys for more than a decade.
Today we will introduce you to the Schwandt family from Michigan, who already got into the media in April 2018, because she called her 14th son a very unusual name — Shiboyegen.
But now they have a new reason to give an interview because the 15th child was born in their family and this is the first girl!
The happy mom says that she never worried about the gender of her children. She met her husband while still at school, and after graduating from college, the couple already raised three sons. At the moment, the eldest is already 28 years old. He already has a wife and his own house and they are planning a child. Taylor often jokes that they are ready for their son, because the parents have the entire boy’s wardrobe in the house, for any age and season.
The newborn baby was given a simple name — Maggie. 45-year-old parents have long figured out what they will call their daughter, they had enough time. Their grandfather jokes that earlier, if only boys were born in an Indian family, a certain rite was performed, after which one hundred percent a girl was to be born, and if not, then the shaman screamed: “She boy again!”, Which means “again a boy!”. Therefore, the youngest son was called a double name — Finley-Shiboyegen.
Kateri says that because of so many boys in the house, there is constant chaos and disorder, noise, and constantly hungry. But if they didn’t like it, they would have settled on two sons a long time ago. A daughter for a large family is like a ray of sunshine and she already has so many protectors! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Today is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle”s birthday. He was born in Scotland in 1859 and is most known as the brilliant writer who brought us the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. There are several reasons I chose to write about him today. The first has already been stated.
The second reason is that over the next few days I will be writing my so-called reviews of the BBC mystery/drama Sherlock. These will include spoilers so if you haven”t seen the show yet please do check it out.
The final reason I am writing about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is that I have just started reading his Sherlock Holmes stories.
Reading these stories will be an intriguing study, just as watching the television program is. (I haven”t seen much about the U.S. production Elementary, but I have a strong preference for all things Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, among others). I will find it fun to learn the intricacies of mystery storytelling through reading Doyle”s masterful work.
So, happy birthday Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The idea behind this 11×17 print ad was to imagine a situation in which someone is solving an issue without the more obvious answer. In the ad, the driver is using sled dogs to make their way through a winter storm. The ad implies that they would be better off purchasing snow tires. It’s a simple Photoshop project, basically just copyright free images of dogsled dogs and a car, all of which were color adjusted to match the scene.

Funding available for environmental program
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Mississippi youth are applying for grants to help them gain pride in themselves and in their communities through an environmental improvement program.
Community Pride is a grants and awards program sponsored by the ChevronTexaco Companies and administered by Mississippi State University’s Extension Service.
“The program helps provide youth with incentives to improve their local environment. The grants are intended to stimulate additional investments by the local community,” said Betty Rawlings, Extension associate with the state 4-H Department. “By investing in environmental education projects for youth in grades kindergarten to 12, the program helps youth learn cooperative skills that will bring success and prepare them as future leaders.”
The Community Pride program empowers youth-serving organizations to plan and conduct community improvement projects with an emphasis on improving the environment.
Groups submit applications on March 1 and Nov. 1 for projects to be completed within a year’s time. Grants of up to $400 are awarded to quality projects that provide environmental awareness and improve the natural environment within a community. Projects range from soil conservation and gardening to recycling programs and community beautification.
The best Community Pride programs receive awards and recognition at congressional district and statewide levels. Recent awards recipients include groups from Bolivar, Clay, Forrest George, Smith, Wayne and Winston counties.
“Dreams become reality when the Community Pride participants acquire that sense of community and pride in working together to improve the community and enhance the environment,” Rawlings said.
For more information on the Community Pride program, contact the local county Extension office. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Gospel Musician wept bitterly after recounting her health problems in 2018. Mabel made it clear that different kinds of illnesses and sicknesses hit her.

Dr. John Dreisbach was one of the “old school” missionaries, who spent his life serving as a career missionary doctor and evangelist in various places around the world. When he died, I was working on a children’s book about his adventures in western Africa. Perhaps the book will never be finished, but as a tribute, I’m posting here the first chapter.
The Mantle“Don’t know what to say, Mrs. Dreisbach. Sure am sorry.” Mr. Johnson stood at the kitchen table with his hat in his hand. “Don’t seem like enough to say that.”
Mrs. Johnson set her chicken casserole down on the table and came to wrap her arm around the shoulder of her friend. “Molly, words aren’t sufficient in our grief. But God knows, God knows.”
Mrs. Dreisbach sat at the kitchen table looking straight ahead and smiling slightly. Her brown bun rested loosely at her neck, as neat as ever, the wisps of hair gently touching her face like always. Her fist gripped her starched white apron, holding it to her mouth. But her eyes were dry.
Mrs. Kellerman came in from the other room. “Honey, the neighbors are gonna be comin’ in from all over, bringin’ you food. I know it’s not nothin’ compared to your loss, but it’s all . . .” she sat down heavily and began to sob.
Mr. Johnson shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other. “Mr. Dreisbach sure was a good man.”
Mrs. Dreisbach shook her head and spoke for the first time. “More than a good man,” she said. “He was a God man. He loved the Lord. He taught his family the Word.”
“And your son,” Mrs. Johnson went on, patting her friend’s shoulder. “What a fine strapping young fellow. Wanting to be a missionary doctor. Almost ready to go. Ohhh,” she almost groaned. “Well, God knows.”
Mrs. Dreisbach turned and looked at four-year-old Johnny, who was standing on his tiptoes gazing out the window. “The mantle has fallen to him,” she said.
Johnny pressed his nose against the window and watched his breath fog up the glass. He had been listening. He knew that yesterday a bolt of lightning had hit the door track of that shed, that one right out there, and in one stroke had killed both his father and older brother.
He didn’t turn his head at his mother’s words. But he knew, he knew. His big brother was like Elijah. He had gone to heaven. He, Johnny, was like Elisha.
“Poor little thing.” Mrs. Kellerman raised her head from the table and dabbed her bleary eyes with her apron. “Don’t even understand what happened.”
But he knew what had happened.
The mantle had fallen to him.

The information as presented here was collected from several sources. Much of the data on individual soldiers was taken from the book, The Descedants of Dr. Timothy Stidham, Vol. 1, by Jack Stidham. Some was found in newspaper clippings sent in by members of the society. Some of it was gathered from pention application papers as well as independent research by various members (though we would have liked to see much more of that!).
The list of Stidhams* fighting for the Union was taken from those found by searching the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System on the Internet, yet doesn’t appear to be an exhaustive list.
The two volume set, A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion, by Frederick H. Dyer (1908), Broadfoot Publishing Company, Morningside Press, provided information on the regimental histories for the Union Army, which are only briefly sketched out in this issue. You’ll notice at the end of each regiment there is a listing of battles that that particular unit fought in (if known). This only lists major battles fought, it doesn’t begin to list all the many skirmishes, sieges, scouting missions, and other duties any given regiment or unit participated in. Unless officer rank or NCO grade is given for individual Stidham* soldiers listed here, they served as privates.
Steadham, Stedham, and Stidham soldiers fighting for the Confederacy are taken from pages 427, 429, and 485 in the The Rosterof Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865, Vol. XIV, edited by Janet B. Hewett (there were no entries for Steddom, Steddum, Stidam, Stiddem, Stidden, or Stidom). Listed alphabetically, they are regrouped here by states and include two other units. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Packaging is important. Just forget about the important item, and you will be disappointed in trying to find things in the nearest store. Or pack too much and you will have to end up with heavy and unsystematic baggage, and then shit! Pay money for expensive baggage fees. So, to solve this difficult part, here are the five most basic and useful packaging rules that every traveler must learn before buying cheap tickets to Disney or anywhere in the world.
Create packing list
Drawing up a Disney packing list is always helpful. Begin the filling process a few weeks before the departure date; This gives you time to make a complete list of all the necessary items, plus you can also buy some important things you may need during your vacation. Creating a list for all packaging devices is also a sure way that you will not forget to bring something important.
Sort the list according to what you absolutely need. The hotels offer so many amenities that you can live off the land with shampoo and soap. If you wear makeup, wear less or in small containers to use the space for other vital things. Or just put on your earplugs and a set of your favorite eyeshadows to help you relax.
Now this advice is twofold: pack in layers and use in layers. For example, your outfit on the road should be full of layers that will help you enjoy any weather with style and comfort. Or you can simply adjust the flexibility depending on climate change, if you are planning to take a trip that leads you to several climate zones, then you can simply add or remove one as needed. In addition, it is important that the items in your bag are packed in neat layers for easy inspection and light weight.
Roll what to fold
Rolling is much better than folding. According to many travel experts, well-folded clothing takes up less space than folded clothing. In addition, they are also less likely to have deep wrinkles of folded and wrinkled clothing.
Make room for important travel documents
Collect all the necessary documents in the travel document organizer, which has a passport, documents, identification card, including credit cards, boarding pass and pen. This will help you make sure that everything you need to get from one place to another is in one place. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On 16 December of last year, Macaulay Culkin posted to YouTube a video of himself eating a slice of pizza:
I watched it and showed it to some friends because, on the one hand, how random! Macaulay Culkin! Eating pizza! Lol! One million other people and counting apparently felt similarly.
The video fascinates because it depicts a star (or a former child star) doing something utterly mundane. The presentation is simple, stripped down. The shot is static and there are no cuts. Culkin looks embarrassed to even be there, to be watched eating. There’s no glitz, no glamor. The guy eats pizza just like you and me, even tearing off the crust (though I would’ve finished the rest of the slice).
At the same time, the video fascinates because it’s awful—it’s “so bad it’s good.” That reaction is breathlessly conveyed in the Time Magazine blog post, “Questions We Asked Ourselves While Watching Macaulay Culkin Eat a Slice of Pizza,” which presents no fewer than forty-six questions about the video, in pseudo-live-blogging fashion:
Why does he look like he really doesn’t want to be wherever he is, or eating the slice?
Has he ever eaten a slice of pizza before?
Why does he look so sad?
Does he know he’s being filmed?
Do the pizza oils get trapped in his beard?
Why does he keep looking up?
Forty-six questions is a lot of questions, prompting a forty-seventh: “How many times did author Eric Dodds watch the damn thing?” And one million views is a lot of views. Thus, despite being banal, despite being awful, the video is somehow also something else. Would it be fair to call it transcendent? Even sublime? And if so, why? Because it purportedly offers us unmediated access to a former star, now desperately embarrassing himself?
But far from being random, or mundane, or excruciatingly candid, Culkin’s pizza video is a put-on, its every second pure artifice. For starters, it’s a loving recreation of another work—a short film of Andy Warhol eating a hamburger: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you have a cavity, then you should have the tooth decay removed and replaced with a filling. Fillings are common procedures. After all, about 92% of all adults have or have had a cavity in one of their teeth. If the tooth did not hurt when the cavity was initially noticed, then you may be surprised to find that your tooth aches after the treatment is completed. This can happen sometimes, and the condition is called pulpitis. Keep reading to understand this condition and find out what your dentist can do about it.
What Is Pulpitis?
Pulpitis is a dental condition that occurs when the living pulp tissue inside your tooth becomes inflamed and swollen. The tissues will swell when they are irritated in some way, and this may happen if a large or deep cavity must be removed from one of the teeth. As your dentist works his drill deep into the enamel, dentin, and cementum, the bit will come close to the tissues in the pulp chamber. Vibrations can cause irritation and swelling. This swelling will place pressure on the dental nerve, and the nerve will release pain signals. Since the pulp tissue is in distress, you may feel a constant aching pain. The dental nerve may also send strong pain signals at random times throughout the day. This is the reason why you may feel spontaneous pain coming from the tooth.
Pulpitits pain will typically go away on its own. This means that the condition will often resolve itself without any intervention from your dentist. The swelling will go down fairly quickly, like inflammation in any other part of your body. You should not feel any pain sensations afterwards. You can take an NSAID pain reliever to reduce your discomfort for the several days while you feel pain.
What Is A Lingering Pulpitis Condition?
There is a chance that you will feel pain for some time after your filling is placed. This is a sign that you have a more serious pulpitis condition. This occurs if the dentist needs to remove a cavity that has gone through the dentin and cementum. As the cavity is removed, the drill may scrape the dental pulp and damage it. This can cause a great deal of distress, especially if blood vessels are damaged within the pulp chamber.
Also, you may notice pain if the cavity was so deep that bacteria have moved into the tooth cavity and have started to eat away at the dental pulp. This means that an infection may have started, or one will likely develop relatively soon.
How Is Serious Pulpitis Treated?
Serious lingering pulpitis conditions are typically quite painful, and the pain will increase rather than decrease over time. If pain seems to worsen after a filling is placed, then you should make arrangements to see your dentist. Keep an eye on pain that worsens when you lie down. This causes blood volume to increase across the entire head, and this will place more pressure on a tooth that is already in poor health.
When you see your dentist, they will likely x-ray the tooth. This will help to show them if an infection has started or if a large portion of the dental pulp is damaged. A root canal will likely be scheduled. The treatment will involve the removal of all the living tissues from inside the tooth. This will stop your pain completely and keep it from coming back. Antibiotics may be needed after the root canal is completed to make sure that all of the bacteria that have gotten into the tooth are killed off.

The internet, since its inception, has evolved from a niche network for academics and researchers to a ubiquitous presence that permeates nearly every aspect of modern life. One of the most fascinating aspects of this evolution is the development of a unique and dynamic internet culture, characterized by memes, viral trends, and even powerful social movements. This cultural transformation illustrates the internet’s profound impact on communication, social organization, and collective action.
The Birth of Memes and Online Humor
Memes, often defined as ideas, behaviors, or styles that spread within a culture, have become a cornerstone of internet culture. The term, coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, found new life in the digital age. Early internet memes, such as “Dancing Baby” and “All Your Base Are Belong to Us,” were shared among tech-savvy users, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. As internet access became more widespread, memes evolved, becoming more sophisticated and widespread.
Platforms like Reddit, 4chan, and later, Instagram and TikTok, have become breeding grounds for memes, each with its own subcultures and in-jokes. These memes often reflect and comment on current events, societal issues, and everyday experiences, allowing users to express themselves creatively and humorously. The rapid spread and evolution of memes demonstrate the internet’s power to influence language, trends, and even politics.
The Formation of Online Communities
Beyond memes, the internet has facilitated the formation of diverse online communities. These digital tribes are often built around shared interests, hobbies, or identities. From fan communities and gaming clans to support groups and professional networks, the internet has enabled people to connect with others across the globe who share their passions and concerns.
Online communities often develop their own norms, languages, and traditions, creating rich and varied subcultures. For instance, the fandom community, which revolves around shared enthusiasm for books, movies, and TV shows, has developed its own set of conventions, fan art, and fan fiction. Similarly, gaming communities have their own jargon, rituals, and forms of social organization, from casual guilds to competitive eSports teams.
The Rise of Digital Movements
The evolution of internet culture has also given rise to powerful digital movements. The internet’s ability to connect people and facilitate rapid communication has made it an essential tool for social and political activism. Movements like the Arab Spring, #BlackLivesMatter, and #MeToo have demonstrated how online platforms can mobilize individuals, spread awareness, and drive real-world change.
These movements often begin with viral hashtags, videos, or posts that resonate with a broad audience. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram play a crucial role in amplifying these messages, allowing them to reach millions of people quickly. The decentralized nature of the internet enables grassroots movements to gain traction without the need for traditional gatekeepers like media organizations or political parties.
The Impact on Society
The evolution of internet culture has had profound implications for society. It has democratized information, giving individuals the power to share their stories and perspectives with a global audience. This has led to increased visibility for marginalized voices and greater accountability for those in power.
However, the internet’s influence is not without its challenges. The same platforms that facilitate positive social change can also be used to spread misinformation, hate speech, and divisive content. The anonymity and reach of the internet can embolden bad actors, leading to issues like cyberbullying, online harassment, and the spread of extremist ideologies.
From memes to movements, the evolution of internet culture is a testament to the transformative power of digital technology. As the internet continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly shape and be shaped by the cultural currents of the future. Understanding this evolution is crucial for navigating the complexities of our increasingly interconnected world. Whether through humor, community, or activism, the internet has become a cultural force that reflects and influences the human experience in profound and unprecedented ways. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

News report on the deteriorating situation at Yemen’s lifeblood port of Al Hudaydah caused by the Saudi-led blockade.

A complete standstill and empty berths with no commercial ships nor humanitarian aid… This is the situation at the Yemeni port of “Al Hudaydah” that is waiting for cargo-laden ships to bring it back to life.
Al Hudaydah Port is the second biggest Yemeni port. It is the lifeblood of two-thirds of Yemen’s population. The overpopulated provinces receive imports, and medical and food aid via this port. The restrictions and measures imposed by the (Saudi-led) Arab coalition on the entry of ships (to the port) increase the suffering of civilians, as asserted by those in charge of the facility who have called on (the Saudi-led coalition) to keep the port out of the conflict.
Yahya Sharaf (Al-Deen), Vice Chairman of Red Sea Ports Corporation in Hudaydah:
The blockade and restrictions on foodstuff and oil products are one of the most significant factors that have led to this humanitarian crisis. However, unfortunately, the United Nations (UN) does not mention the (Yemeni) crisis except when it is looking for donors. It talks about the suffering and humanitarian crisis in Yemen only to scrounge help from (other) states. However, it turns a deaf ear to the actions of the (Saudi- led) coalition that are preventing the Red Sea Ports Corporation from receiving oil products and food supplies.
The dockers at the (Al Hudaydah) Port are living in terrible conditions due to the decline in the number of ships arriving. Their suffering worsens because their source of income has been cut off.
Yasser Makbouli, a worker at Al Hudaydah Port:
The Al Hudaydah Port is suffering because of the (Saudi-led) Coalition. More than 30 or 40 tankers carrying diesel, fuel and petrol (have been detained by the Coalition). We are suffering greatly. The poor workers at the Al Hudaydah Port don’t earn enough to live on for even one day. We have been just sitting around (doing nothing) for four months.
Muhammad Al-Rimi, a worker at Al Hudaydah Port:
The situation (at the port) is miserable for everyone, present or absent. There is nothing to do. We are just sitting around.
Yemen is facing a humanitarian crisis described by the UN as the worst globally because of the ongoing war and blockade. This (crisis) has caused food shortages, an increase in malnutrition rates, and even famine in some remote areas, in addition to a spread of diseases and epidemics as medicine stocks dwindle.

Amy Herr, Scott Schenker and Mike Cohen win the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce award as innovators with "imagination and persistence."
By Public Affairs
September 12, 2017

Amy Herr is working to cure cancer. Scott Shenker is upending the rules of computer networking. And Mike Cohen is redefining civic discourse.
All three are powerhouses at UC Berkeley, and all three are winners of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce’s Visionary of the Year award. The awards, presented at the Berkeley Repertory Theater Monday night, go annually to innovators with “imagination and persistence” who live or work in Berkeley.
Chancellor Carol Christ, the event’s keynote speaker, said the three honorees “embody everything about the university that we hold dear: Dedication to research, teaching, and public service; applying all three to tackle real-world challenges.”
“It is only fitting that each have distinguished themselves as entrepreneurs and successful business leaders as well,” she added.
Amy Herr discovered a process to analyze different protein levels of individual cells, which could let researchers better understand and treat diseases like cancer. Herr is a professor of bioengineering and the co-founder of the private protein-analysis company Zephyrus Biosciences
“Zephyrus Biosciences is a perfect example of how UC Berkeley’s life-saving research leads to job creation in Berkeley,” Gina Daly, director of federal relations for the campus, wrote when she nominated Herr for the award.
Described as “one of the true visionaries in the world of networking technology,” Scott Shenker has figured out new ways to modernize complex computer networks.
Shenker, professor of computer science, is considered to be one of the top computer researchers in the country. He co-founded and sold — for $1.3 billion — the networking company Nicira and recently launched a new software startup in Berkeley.
Mike Cohen thinks the internet can help expand civic discourse. Cohen, the director of innovation ecosystem development at UC Berkeley’s Office of Technology Licensing, co-founded Peak Democracy in 2007. The Berkeley company gives hundreds of government agencies the ability to conduct online town halls.
Cohen has also launched UC Berkeley’s SkyDeck startup accelerator and the Berkeley Startup Cluster. Cohen has “tremendous vision to see the potential for online civic engagement software to improve our democratic institutions,” wrote Kevin Hufferd, UC Berkeley’s head of property development when he nominated Cohen for the award.

NGC 4631 -- Barred Spiral Galaxy in Canes Venatici
A Whale of a Galaxy
The Whale Galaxy (NGC 4631) gets its name from its elongated shape that is overly fat in the
middle. NGC 4631 is large in the eyepiece and in real size. Seen from nearly edge on this
galaxy is not difficult in the 155mm refractor from my suburban backyard.
This galaxy is a fine example of being able to tease out galactic detail in a modest-sized
telescope (in fact it maybe one of the best). The Whale has several bright star-forming regions
near its middle, but the bright core, seen in most spiral galaxies, remains hidden (dust?). The
full length of the galaxy appears mottled and not uniform in brightness. This is a galaxy that one
is wise to spend some time with using a high magnification eyepiece. The overall drawing was
done at 84x, while details of the galaxy were added using 232x.
The Whale has a small companion galaxy (NGC 4627) to its north. At magnitude 12.4 it should
be beyond what I could normally see from the deck of my house. However, it is small and
condense and was not difficult to make out at 232x. I like to think that NGC 4627 as the exhaled
sea water from the spay-hole on the top of the whale’s head. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I’ve had all week to think about what, if any, game challenge I’d like to try in 2018. I thought about a doing another 6 x 6 or pushing to a 10 x 10 but the rigidity of the structure seems like it might limit what I try to play all year. I think the benefit of completing my 6×6 last year is it means I still have momentum to play most of the games on last years list. I’ll still do Dropzone either casually or at my local gaming store. My friend and I are still very much into the crunch of the Batman Miniature Game. I want to see what new thing Championship Formula Racing has in 2018 and might try out one of the PBEM (play by email) sessions. And Walking Dead is back to consuming a lot of my hobby time.
So the thought was to either do nothing or try something new and since I’m very goal-oriented, I chose the latter.
In the end, I decided to actually run two challenges simultaneously. While this might sound like a lot, I feel like they are both things I’d be doing anyway so it shouldn’t be a burden to keep them up. Both of them revolve around the “100 games” original idea behind the 10 x 10 but go to the extreme:
The first part of my 2018 Game Challenge will be the silly counter-challenge to the 10 x 10, the “100 x 1”. That is 100 games at least one time each. If the 10 x 10 is exploring the depths of the games in your collection, the 100 x 1 explores the absolute variety in the games you play. This is a big swing towards the “Cult of the New” concept in board gaming but it will likely not be just new games as I plan on hitting some older games that haven’t seen the light of day in a while.
If the 100 x 1 is the one side of the spectrum favoring a lack of attention span, the second part of my 2018 Game Challenge will be the counter-counter-challenge, the “1 x 100”. As you can probably guess, this is one game, played 100 or more times. This challenge explores the depths of a game and then tries to rip it all apart and “know” it until it’s strategies and complexities become second nature.
While part 1 doesn’t require me to do anything but play games, part 2 required a bit of prep as I wanted to make sure this was a game that I could play 100 games of, both from a practical and an interest-level standpoint. Obviously almost every minis game is out as I just don’t have the time to dedicate to such an endeavor. Since length is a concern, most games running over an hour or require a lot of players will be hard to work in as well.
Ultimately, I decided on my favorite abstract strategy to play: The Duke. This is game I’ve mentioned from time to time and one that I’m already familiar with. I might have even already played 100 games of it but what’s interesting is there are a bunch of expansions I’ve never tried. This may be a cheat but I also have it’s brother game The Jarl which is just a retheme of the same game with a Viking bend. I will include playing both versions as well as any expansions as counting towards the 100 games goal.
With a new version possibly coming out later this year, the rumored release of some outstanding expansion titles, and movement on the original KS page, this may make for the best time to make a “Year of The Duke.”
With such an emphasis on one game, it is only fitting that the first game of 2018 for me and the game that wins the first slot in both parts of my Challenge is The Duke.
I will also be using these Duke games to teach my daughter how to play (for as long as she can stand it). We were able to get in our first two learning games. What’s nice is she was able to quickly pick up on how the game works. Now it’s the long road to developing strategy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A significant development of Web technologies requires the application of more and more complex systems and algorithms for maintaining high quality of Web services. Presently, not only simple decision-making tools but also complex adaptation algorithms using artificial intelligence techniques are applied for controlling HTTP request traffic. The paper presents a new LFNRD (Local Fuzzy-Neural Adaptive Request Distribution) algorithm for request distribution in cluster-based Web systems using neuro-fuzzy models of Web servers in the decision-making process. The neuro-fuzzy model which is applied is discussed in detail and a design of the Web switch using the proposed solution is presented. Finally, a testbed is described and the results of a comparative simulation study on the LFNRD algorithm, and other algorithms known from the literature and used in the industry, are presented and discussed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“I should be so broke, with $10.6 million in cash in the bank,” the attorney, Philip Freidin, said.
Fitty filed for bankruptcy on July 13, just days after the same jury slapped him with a $5 million verdict for violating Leviston’s civil rights and causing her emotional distress.
The “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” rapper’s lawyer said his client has been punished enough.
“His true financial condition has been exposed as a result of this trial,” James Renard said.
While Leviston “has been vindicated now by your verdict,” the same ruling has already hurt Fitty plenty, he said.
“By your verdict, you have in some effect, changed fame to shame, changed celebrity to notoriety, tarnished the brand. That in a way is a form of punishment that will affect Mr. Jackson, and we accept that. That’s had a tremendous effect,” Renard said.
He suggested the jury award Leviston about $700,000 — which he said is all the money his client has made in the past two years from playing a sold-out show in London, and acting in the movies “Spy,” “Southpaw” and the TV show “Power.”
Freidin countered the jury needed to slap him with a large verdict to ensure he takes the case seriously.
He noted that after the bankruptcy filing, Fitty crowed about having stalled the case during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, where he referred to himself as “a target.”
He also noted that the superstar hit a strip club afterwards, where he literally was throwing around money.
“Mr. Renard says he’s taking this very seriously,” and respects the earlier verdict, Freidin said. So “why would he go to a strip club, take wads of hundreds of dollars in bills and fling them up in the air? How is that respecting?”
He also noted that Fitty — who claims to be $20 million in the red — loaned his various companies more than $29 million after Leviston filed her suit, which was not reflected in his bankruptcy filings. He also failed to account for much of the approximately $270 million he says he’s collected over the past 15 years.
Freidin urged the jury to make him pay another $15 million.
“If it’s a small amount, it won’t matter to him,” he said.
The six person jury started deliberating shortly before noon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tasting Foncalieu wines with Yorkshire Wine School |
A fancy Big Mac style burger from Original Fry Up Material |
This was a good way of cheering up a Monday night in February: tasting eight sunny wines from the south of France. From work I take a train from Bradford to Leeds, call in for a tasty hipster burger at Trinity Kitchen and then head up to the Radisson Hotel for the tasting. I'm always excited trying wines that are new to me. Life's all about retaining that excitement for new things isn't it?
The wines are from Foncalieu, a big cooperative of more than 1,000 wine estates, whose winemaker and marketing supremo Isabelle Pangault appears in person to help bring them to life. Yorkshire Wine School's Laura Kent is also on hand to provide expert titbits; Laura is hosting the event and has kindly let me experience it as a guest.
French wine often projects an image of bringing the landscape to the glass - terroir - but I'm interested to hear Isabelle talk a bit more pragmatically about how Foncalieu's agronomist (soil and plant man) Gabriel Ruetsch tailors the wines to the market where they sell them; in other words they look at what sort of stuff British drinkers tend to like and they try to satisfy that demand. That's not to say they aren't reflecting the land though - they have lots of different landscapes and microclimates to choose from, a mosaic of terroir as Isabelle nicely puts it, giving them scope to create different styles of wine. And it is encouraging to hear Isabelle emphasise that it's elegance and freshness they're looking for, in other words they're keen not to obscure the pure fruit with too much oak. The more I'm a wine fanatic, it seems the more I enjoy fresh tasting wines over big oaky ones.
I really enjoyed these wines - in particular the three from Chateau Haut Gleon we tried, especially the white - and it'd be great to try them again with a meal which I bet would make them even better. Here's a quick run-through of my thoughts as I tasted them on the night:
Le Versant Viognier 2013, Pays d'Oc
Smells champagney; tastes like peach, lemon and lime with elderflower freshness. Reminds me of vinho verde.
Le Versant Pinot Noir 2013, Pays d'Oc
Smells of strawberry, or maybe raspberry, and mint. Easy-drinking, a touch dilute?, round and soft texture, nice and fresh.
Griset Sauvignon Gris 2014, Pays d'Oc
Fresh, light rose coloured, a nice refreshing summer drink. Agree with the suggestion of watermelon, rose water and rhubarb from the YWS and Foncalieu tasting notes.
Les Illustres 2012, Coteaux d'Enserune IGP
Smells of Marmite, blackberries, oak and leather. Also brings to mind blackberries in the mouth with black plums and parsley and coriander! Dry finish, would be good with slow cooked beef I think.
Le Lien 2012, Minervois AOP
Smells great - to me of liquorice and lavender - which mixes with coffee and cigar smoke in the mouth. Tastes of expensive oak. Again would be good with beef. Enjoyed this more with a slice of the Friends of Ham salami provided on the table.
Chateau Haut Gleon Blanc 2013, Corbieres AOC
Really like this wine. Reminds me of an Australian semillon. Tastes of nuts to me - hazelnuts, almonds, pistachio with apricots. Really good.
Chateau Haut Gleon Rose 2013, Corbieres AOC
Also really enjoyed this one. Light but with a faint peppery spice, bit more to it than a standard light rose. Tastes and smells of strawberry and pepper, fresh tomato and gooseberry.
Chateau Haut Gleon Rouge 2009, Corbieres AOC
Smells of blueberry and blackberry or blackcurrant and scrubby herbs, rosemary and thyme, with a taste of liquorice.
As I understand it, Le Versant wines will cost around £7.99-8.99 in shops; Les Illustres and Le Lien around £25 (or £60 in a restaurant); and the Chateau Haut Gleon wines around £23-25 each. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Online casino games have become a hugely popular pastime for many people, and they offer a great way to enjoy some of your favorite casino games from the comfort of your own home. These sites are safe and secure and offer a variety of different payment options. In addition, many of them offer great bonuses to attract new players. These can include free spins on Starburst, deposit matches, and loyalty program points.
Casino online is a type of gaming that involves wagering real money for the chance to win real prizes. These websites are regulated and offer the same security as a traditional brick-and-mortar casino. In order to protect your money and personal information, you should only gamble at a casino online that has been licensed by your state’s gambling authority.
Getting started with online gambling is easy. First, you need to find a trusted and legitimate website that accepts your preferred banking methods. Most reputable online casinos will also have a customer service team available to help you with any problems that may arise. Additionally, you should always play at a site that offers your favorite casino games.
The casino online industry has been growing rapidly, thanks to technological advances in the internet and mobile devices. This growth has made it possible for casino lovers from all over the world to have access to a wide range of different games and betting options. Many of these games can be played on a computer, tablet or smartphone, making them convenient and accessible to anyone.
One of the biggest advantages of casino online is that it allows you to play on your own time frame. There are no long lags between hands, decisions, rolls or spins like there would be at a live casino. This makes for a much more enjoyable experience and can increase your bankroll significantly.
While there is much to love about online casinos, there is still nothing quite like stepping into a real life casino and experiencing the excitement, glamour and atmosphere that it offers. There is also no denying the tangibility of holding your winnings in your hand and knowing that you have made some extra cash.
Online casinos have a much greater reach than their physical counterparts. As a result, they can offer more bonus features and promotions to keep players engaged. In addition, they are able to monitor player behaviour and identify trends that could indicate fraudulent activity. This makes them better positioned to spot and respond to issues than their physical counterparts. Moreover, they are able to use this data to improve the customer experience and optimise earning potential. This gives them a clear competitive advantage over their bricks-and-mortar rivals. This is why more people choose to gamble at online casinos than at bricks-and-mortar establishments. However, this does not mean that you should avoid visiting a bricks-and-mortar casino – they can still be very fun and exciting places to visit. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Do You Realize…
…that I love the song “Do You Realize?” by The Flaming Lips?
I’m notoriously bad at understanding lyrics, but I actually can understand the words in this song–and they have a good message! I’d not seen the video until today, though, but it’s pretty cool. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

On December 20, 1960, the world-famous Director Kim Ki-Duk was born in Sobenni village (South Korea). The biography turned out to be motley: he left school as a 15-year-old teenager for a job at a factory, then immediately joined the ranks of the Marines, dreamed of working as a priest, became interested in drawing, studied in Paris. Ki Duk wrote his first screenplay when He was in his thirties…
Since his debut film “crocodile” (1996) came a few dozen pictures — controversial, shocking, permeated with the spirit of Asia, a mixture of inhuman cruelty and poetic beauty. We remembered the most striking works of the Director. Continue reading

The thing is probably that “Favorite” is not an author’s project, but a commercial one. For the first time, the script of the film was not handled by the Director himself, but by writer and producer Deborah Davis and series writer and Director Tony McNamara.The plot of the film is built around the Palace intrigues between two confidants of the British Queen Anne, the last reigning monarch of the Stuart dynasty. The narrative covers the earliest start time of the reign of Queen — the end of XVII and beginning of XVIII century. Continue reading | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In a world where visuals speak louder than words, graphic design emerges as the vanguard of visual communication, wielding the power to captivate, inspire, and provoke emotions. Beyond mere aesthetics, graphic design is a multifaceted discipline that seamlessly blends creativity, technology, and strategic thinking. Let us embark on a journey to explore the essence of graphic design, unraveling its significance in shaping our digital and physical landscapes.
A Fusion of Art and Science
At its core, graphic design is a harmonious fusion of artistry and science. It marries the principles of visual composition, typography, color theory, and imagery with the precision of technology. A skilled graphic designer is akin to a modern-day alchemist, transmuting ideas into tangible visual narratives that resonate with audiences across diverse platforms.
In a world saturated with information, attention is a precious commodity. Graphic design serves as a beacon, guiding viewers through a narrative labyrinth with clarity and purpose. Whether it’s a logo, a website, or an advertisement, every design element is meticulously crafted to convey a message, evoke an emotion, or elicit a response. Through strategic use of imagery, typography, and layout, graphic designers weave compelling stories that leave an indelible mark on the psyche of the audience.
The Power of Perception
Perception is reality, and graphic design wields the power to shape perceptions. A well-designed brand identity can imbue a company with credibility, trustworthiness, and authority. Similarly, a thoughtfully crafted poster can evoke empathy, incite action, or provoke introspection. By harnessing the psychology of visual communication, graphic designers can influence behavior, foster connections, and spark meaningful dialogue in a world inundated with competing messages.
As technology advances and societal norms evolve, graphic design is in a perpetual state of flux. From the early days of hand-drawn illustrations to the digital revolution of the 21st century, designers have embraced innovation as a catalyst for creativity. Augmented reality, responsive design, and motion graphics are just a few examples of how the field of graphic design continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and redefining the possibilities of visual expression.
The Intersection of Form and Function
In the realm of graphic design, form and function are not mutually exclusive but rather symbiotic counterparts. While aesthetics play a pivotal role in capturing attention and creating emotional resonance, functionality ensures usability and accessibility for diverse audiences. A well-designed user interface seamlessly integrates form and function, providing an intuitive and engaging experience that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers.
Graphic design serves as a mirror reflecting the cultural zeitgeist of a society. From the psychedelic posters of the 1960s to the minimalist aesthetics of the digital age, design trends are often a reflection of prevailing social, political, and economic currents. Moreover, graphic designers have the power to challenge norms, provoke discourse, and amplify marginalized voices through their work. In an increasingly interconnected world, graphic design serves as a bridge, fostering cross-cultural understanding and empathy through the universal language of visuals.
The Ethical Imperative
With great power comes great responsibility, and graphic designers bear the ethical imperative to wield their craft with integrity and purpose. As stewards of visual communication, designers must consider the ethical implications of their work, from the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes to the environmental impact of mass production. By championing inclusivity, sustainability, and social responsibility, graphic designers can harness their influence to effect positive change in the world.
In essence, graphic design is more than just a profession—it is a medium through which ideas take flight, emotions find expression, and connections are forged. From the bold strokes of a logo to the subtle nuances of a website layout, every design decision holds the power to shape perceptions, provoke thought, and inspire action. As we navigate an increasingly visual world, let us embrace the artistry of graphic design and celebrate its profound impact on the human experience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We welcome Jonas Schilling!
Jonas Schilling is an electronic music artist, composer and music producer from Berlin. After years of playing with different bands and soaking up Berlins vibrant electronic music scene, he started his solo project in 2019. Besides releasing music as a solo artist Jonas Schilling composes music for theater and contemporary dance projects. He received great acclaim for his track "Rising Tide", which has been streamed over 7 million times to date. His music was played by countless radio stations and featured on BBC introducing.
In 2023 Jonas Schilling was scholarship holder of music board Berlin’s Co-Creation Residency Berlin - Tel Aviv. For two months he collaborated with Israeli singer "Odelly". Together they performed at Popkultur Festival Berlin, as well as Kuli Alma Club, Tel Aviv.
As a composer and musician for theatre, Jonas Schilling has worked with many theaters and independent projects all over Germany, in Switzerland and Turkey.
Jonas Schilling was born into a family in which music was an everyday expression of joy and togetherness. The experience of music as an immersive room that is not divided into performer and listener shaped his way of thinking about music and sound.
Growing up with jazz, gospel and rock music he later recognized the transcendent potential of electronic dance culture and started to integrate its concepts to his own music.
His tracks are often in search of an optimism and positivity that emerge through the experience of breaking and transgressing. He tries to question genre traditions and combine the seemingly contradictory: complex polyrhythms with immersive harmonies, elements of modal jazz with techno beats, "underground" with „mainstream".
His Traum EP "We Tried To Turn Back Time" pays tribute to the rave culture while at the same time incorporating „classic“ instruments like piano, electric basses and jazz drums. The titles allude to the messianic hope of stopping time itself as well as the utopian localization of a space- and timeless place.

WOW. No one can believe what he did with this house, which was built in 1887 but was abandoned and in ruins for many years before he purchased it.
The house road appeared as if it was about to collapse. This enormous location was overlooked by people searching to buy a new home, but they didn’t even bother to give it a second glance. However, later, someone noticed the wrecked home and made the decision to buy it. He spent a lot of time and money preserving this important piece of architectural history and transforming it into a magnificent home.
The change is almost unbelievable! Just wait until you see inside… This is how the house initially appeared.
But here is how it looked after restoration.
The inside will leave you breathless. It looks straight out of a Harry Potter movie.
The floors are made of five different types of wood and rainbow of colors pierce through thanks to the stained glass panels.
Each of the five bedrooms on the second floor are uniquely decorated and have a special appeal.
But this small room in the attic is perfect place for an office!
From how it looked to what he made it out to be, it’s truly hard to believe.
It did get a lot of work, time and money, but he transformed the ruin into a cozy and warm house.

Late last summer I got to meet the beautiful Smith family on a gorgeous evening out at Stony Creek Metro Park. The smith’s were getting ready to meet their second son due at any time and wanted to capture this one last time as a family of three and grab some beautiful portraits of Mama. Amanda chose to wore two of my maternity dresses in dark navy and one of my favorite dresses the mustard color that just photographs so beautifully in both summer and fall. She also did a great job bringing along outfits to help coordinate with her husband and her son.
Upon arrival, she showed me the outfits she brought for her husband and her son and we determined together which pieces would work with her dress choices that she picked out to wear for her maternity session. I always ask clients to bring along several outfits for their session because sometimes viewing the dresses in person can change the entire look of a session with other pieces that you bring with you. I hope you enjoy viewing this beautiful maternity session. If you are pregnant and expecting and are completely on the fence, because trust me I know that feeling, get in contact with me and we can discuss options on your maternity sessions and what I have to offer to help and make you feel beautiful for your maternity session. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NATIONAL TEAM - MALAWI - COACH - Ernest Mtawali sacked
Malawi has fired coach Ernest Mtawali and his assistant Nsanzurwimo Ramadahan, whose contracts were due to expire on 31 July.
It follows Malawi's early exit from the recent Cosafa Cup at the group stage.
Former midfielder Mtawali, 49, took over the national team in August 2015 but has paid for his record of six wins, six defeats and four draws.
Ramadahan will return as caretaker coach, however, to oversee Malawi's match against Swaziland in September.
The match, to be played on 3 September in Blantyre, is Malawi's last in their failed campaign to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
Malawi's chances of making it to next year's finals in Gabon were ended in June when they were beaten by Zimbabwe in Harare. Malawi are bottom of Group L with only two points.
The Football Association of Malawi said Ramadahan would take charge of the team for a month from 10 August so Malawi can complete their fixtures.
On Saturday, FAM's technical sub-committee had recommended to the executive committee that Mtawali should be sacked and Ramadahan installed as caretaker coach.
It claimed Mtawali had been leading Malawi single-handedly and that he lacked the skills required to improve things at the national team.
The FAM technical sub-committee also recommended the appointment of an expatriate coach but the Malawi government stated it has no money for a foreign coach. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
PinkNotes® Plus Remote Location Setup
To setup your network so you can access your PinkNotes® Plus Master from
the Internet through the PNP Client software you need to have the following:
- A network that has a public IP address that you can use on the Internet
- Access to go into your firewall/router settings
To login to PinkNotes® Plus from any location on the Internet
you will need to enter your public IP address in the clients login screen.
If you do not know what your public IP address is just go to the computer
that you have your PNP Master running and open up the following link,
NOTE: There is a difference between the IP address that you use to connect
to your PNP Master on your local network and the public IP address that you
need to use on the Internet. If you try to login to your PNP Master from the Internet (outside of your local network)
with the IP address you use on your local network, it will not work.
Once you know what your public IP address is you will then need to go into your firewall/router,
that you have your PNP Master behind, and setup port forwarding for PNP. Basically what needs to be done is any traffic
that comes into your firewall/router on port 9102 needs to be forwarded to the
local IP that you have your PNP Master running on. For example, if the local IP
address of your PNP Master is "192.168.1.100", then in your firewall/router settings
you will need to specify that any incoming traffic on port 9102 is forwarded to "192.168.1.100".

Edouard Vuillard Galleries
Jean-Edouard Vuillard, the son of a retired captain, spent his youth at Cuiseaux (Saone-et-Loire); in 1878 his family moved to Paris in modest circumstances. After his father\'s death, in 1884, Vuillard received a scholarship to continue his education. In the Lycee Condorcet Vuillard met Ker Xavier Roussel (also a future painter and Vuillard\'s future brother in law), Maurice Denis, musician Pierre Hermant, writer Pierre Veber and Lugne-Poe. On Roussel\'s advice he refused a military career and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Pierre Bonnard.
In 1885, Vuillard left the Lycee Condorcet and joined his closest friend Roussel at the studio of painter Diogene Maillart. There, Roussel and Vuillard received the rudiments of artistic training.

SEMINARIO: Recent Progress on Derivative-Free Trust-Region Methods
Trust-region methods are a broad class of methods for continuous
optimization that finds application in a variety of problems
and contexts. The basic principle consists of iteratively optimizing
a model of the objective function in a restricted region. In particular,
they have been studied and applied for problems without using derivatives,
where models are built solely by sampled function values.
Trust-region derivative-free methods are guaranteed to
converge for deterministic smooth functions, in the sense
of generating a sequence or run of iterates converging to criticality
(of first and second order type). Such a convergence is called
global as there is no assumption on the starting point.
It has also been proved that the order of complexity, or the
global rate in which criticality decays, matches the
In the deterministic non-smooth case, and given some knowledge
of the non-smooth structure, it is possible to design globally
convergent approaches with appropriated complexity, either by
smoothing the original function in some parametrized way or by
moving a compositive non-smooth structure directly to the
Trust-region methods can be based as well on probabilistic models
of the objective function, thus considering the derivative-free
case where sample points are randomly generated. Such methods
exhibit similar properties of convergence and complexity as those
using deterministic models, now not for all runs but for a
a set of those that occurs with probability one.
Finally, we are observing now the first attempts for the
stochastic case, where the objective function can only be
observed, and possibly approximated by sample averaging.

In today’s high-tech world, it only makes sense for organizations to leverage innovative devices and systems to assist with a wide range of business functions—including crisis management. The right technology can help a company improve crisis response, streamline emergency communication, save money and more. But only if the organization is willing to see the potential of various technologies.
If your organization is looking to improve its crisis management, there are many technologies that can help. Here, we cover three crisis management case studies that made the most of innovative technology:
1. Domino’s Pizza.
One of the world’s largest pizza chains found itself in a public relations crisis when two employees began posting prank videos on YouTube in 2009. Initially, the company responded according to its previously-established crisis management protocol: They posted a response video from the company president on their website. Unfortunately, the video garnered very few views, and the crisis continued to spread.
That’s when Domino’s realized they needed to utilize the same technology platform that had started the incident. If people were viewing the prank video on YouTube, they realized, the response should also leverage the power of YouTube.
The PR team crafted a new, edgier version of the response video and posted it to YouTube. And this new approach worked: Simply by using a different technology that is more widely used by consumers, Domino’s was able to reach millions of customers with a clever “viral” video of their own, and the crisis subsided.
2. Mercedes Benz Superdome.
As home to the New Orleans Saints and other big-name events throughout the year, the Superdome regularly hosts tens of thousands of people. Management wanted a better way to communicate with the crowd during a crisis, while also improving exterior lighting to optimize safety. They turned to a product called Intellistreets to help solve both challenges.
Intellistreets is an audio and LED signage system that can be installed on streetlight poles in public parks, near stadiums and around other busy areas. The wireless technology provides emergency response, homeland security and public safety functions, all in one highly visible location.
At the Superdome, the Intellistreets systems also include a powerful sound system to enable officials to speak directly to the exiting or entering crowds. It also features LED signage that can display emergency messaging and community announcements as needed, creating a simple yet effective way to relay information about wayfinding, evacuation instructions and more.
As one of the leading suppliers of toilet repair products, Fluidmaster is a large and growing company. Their incident management team is responsible for business continuity and emergency management strategies at the company’s San Juan Capistrano, Calif., headquarters.
The team needed to have access to their crisis management documents at all times—a reality that quickly became impractical. Team members had to carry binders or flash drives of Word and Excel files with them at all times. And unfortunately, it was difficult to find specific information in these enormous documents. Worse yet, if the network failed or the power was out, the team could not access the digital files. And updating the files was a long and arduous process. During an emergency, these obstacles could easily slow response and cause mistakes.
That’s why Fluidmaster chose to upgrade to an innovative crisis management app, which allowed the company to easily digitize their existing plans. Now, the app provides their incident management team with quick and reliable access to each document directly from their mobile device, even if the power is out or the network has failed.
During a crisis, the team can instantly send real-time alerts to employees. When the plan requires updating, the process is instantaneous. As a result, all stakeholders know they have anytime access to the most up-to-date plan information, right in the palm of their hand. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With the Canadian government’s recent announcement of a national summit to combat anti-Semitism, B’nai Brith Canada is working to get the Jewish community’s input to make sure the meeting has the greatest possible impact.
“B’nai Brith Canada has long-called for a national action plan to combat anti-Semitism. The summit will play a key role in helping achieve that,” B’nai Brith said.
Earlier in the year, B’nai Brith released an “Eight-point plan to tackle anti-Semitism.”
They called for an investment in hate crime-specific law enforcement units to “produce more substantive results in the field, including the laying of more charges, and further enhance the credibility of police services among the broader community.”
A standard understanding of “what constitutes a hate crime is critical,” they said, as well as proper communication between civili society organizations and police services.
They urged that the attorney general’s decision-making process on hate crime propaganda be made public to stem accusations of political bias.
They noted that government funding has in the past “found its way to organizations that have promoted anti-Semitism.” They urged a zero tolerance approach to government funding of anti-Semitism.
Universities and colleges need to be held accountable for campus anti-Semitism, B’nai Brith stated, saying that these institutions “recently surfaced as significant breeding grounds for anti-Semitism in Canada, including through an increase in far left activism against Israel.”
“This has a caustic effect on Jewish students, who are increasingly reporting incidents of vandalism and threats. Post-secondary institutions must to more to combat anti-Semitism.”
They also urged the country to adopt a “national action plan for anti-Semitism” and to develop an action plan to counter online hate, using a “fresh federal strategy” that would “deal with the gap in Canada’s hate laws.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE, IMPORT OR MANUFACTURE PLASTIC CARRIER BAGS IN KENYA
The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in conjunction with National Environment Management Authority among other stakeholders will be holding an Alternative Eco-Friendly Exhibition at the KICC on the 24th and 25th August 2017 for manufacturer, retailers, distributors and the general public.
The compliance and enforcement technical team deliberated on the interpretation of the plastic ban gazette notice 2356 of 28th February 2017 and wishes to state as follows; All bags in this category are banned. For clarity these are bags commonly known as “Juala” that are used as secondary packages for items in shops, markets etc. There is no contention in this category of banned plastic as there are NO EXEMPTIONS Flat bags used for carrying items outside industrial setting e.g. groceries, garbage, are banned. However, in this category EXEMPTION is extended for bags used for industrial primary packaging where the product is direct contact with the plastic and is done at the source. The exemption is subject to: The ban applies to the use, manufacture and importation of the banned plastics within Kenya.

Toolstation NCEL Premier Division
Frickley Athletic 1-1 Barton Town
Super-sub Sam Cable denied his old club Frickley Athletic a precious win as he headed the the equaliser to claim a point for Barton Town.
Frickley were on course to end three games without a win as Alhassane Keita’s hour-mark finish gave Wayne Benn’s men something to cling onto.
It wasn’t to be for the Blues as they were powerless when Cable leapt like a salmon in the 75th minute to set up a frantic finale that ultimately failed to deliver a winning goal for either side.
A draw, perhaps, was a fair result.
The first half was a drag. Several low grade dust-ups made it a nauseating watch from the side-lines.
Only towards the interval did the game show some life.
Frickley’s new goalkeeper Harrison Davison-Hale displayed why he will be a key signing as he made two saves from goal-bound attempts – one from a header another from a Ben Hinchliffe effort.
The hosts’ goal was pretty against the run of play.
Barton’s defence switched off and Frickley captain Richard Collier’s deft header on the edge of the penalty area enabled Keita to get in behind.
The ex-Brighouse Town striker bared down on goalkeeper Ryan Musselwhite before firing a low and hard effort into the net.
Frickley looked assured at the back – a defence containing Brandon Murillo was back in the side after recovering from a bad injury sustained earlier in the campaign – and they were comfortable for a long period.
It took a superb Scott Matthews cross from the left that Cable turned into a goal to rescue Barton.
Danger followed at both ends as the teams probed for the winner.
Cable forced a good save from Davison-Hale while Frickley caused problems without testing Musselwhite.
What They Said
Frickley Athletic manager Wayne Benn
“I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get three points.
“I thought we managed the game really well.
“We played a different system and shape which we literally worked on for half-an-hour on Thursday.
“I thought the lads stuck to the game-plan and executed the game-plan really well.
“Other than a bit of sloppiness, I think we might have nicked a 1-0 win.
“Listen, I know our ‘keeper has had a couple of saves to make in the first half to keep it at 0-0 but we had opportunities when we have gone forward.
“Barton are one of the better sides in the Division and our performance was much better which is a positive.”
Frickley Athletic: Davison-Hale, Hall, Haigh, Owen, Binns, Murillo, Appiah, Collier (captain), Smith, Keita, Jeffreys. Subs: Ripley, Fletcher, Clegg, Hemingway, Moss.

As our school's mandate is quality Christian education, integrating spiritual teaching with our program is critical. While the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum is followed in all grades and courses, the Christian philosophy of the school is woven into daily class activities.
At the start of each day, a 15 minute devotional time is held in each of the homeroom classes. The homeroom teacher leads a time of Bible study and prayer with the students in the class. Students are encouraged to participate in these times with their comments and their prayers.
Students study a variety of topics from both Old and New Testament books. In the grade 7 and 8 curriculum, an entire class is devoted to Bible study. In grade 10, a credit course in Christian Studies is a mandatory part of every student's course schedule. In the grade 9 - 12 English curriculum, at least one book of the Bible is included in the students' literature studies each year.
Chapels are held on a regular basis throughout the school year. These chapels are times to remind the students of the spiritual component of their lives, for the students themselves to share their spiritual experiences and insights, for the school worship team to lead the student body in songs of worship, and for guest speakers to challenge the students in their spiritual walk.
Students and staff are also involved in various events and service projects like Thanksgiving food drives, the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child project, and other charitable efforts to encourage the student body to focus on the needs of others. NTCS students also participate in grade specific service projects organized by their classroom or homeroom teacher.
Each year, students in grade 9 - 12 participate in Spiritual Emphasis Day where they attend small group workshops and dig deeper into developing a relationship with Christ. Topics vary from year to year but in past years have included: prayer, finding God's will, living with purpose, healthy relationships, social media use, developing good boundaries, and coping with stress and anxiety.
All NTCS students, from JK to grade 12, participate in a serve project each year. These range in nature from writing to veterans on Remembrance Day to planting trees in a community park. We feel that giving back to our community is an excellent way to show God's love and further His kingdom. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Revelation 4:11 - You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for you have created all things,and for your pleasure they are and were created.
This verse from the revelation of John, is a word of worship addressed to God for his mighty act of creation by the twenty-four elders who surround the throne.
Even though the world was cursed by God for Adam's transgression and the entire creation is in bondage to decay, this will not be the case when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the world, establish his kingdom, and after a thousand years reign, usher in the eternal state of the new heaven and the new earth where there is no trace of the curse. This is described in Revelation 20-22.
If we have received Christ as Lord and Saviour, we have much reason to offer praise to God. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dear Prof Lohani
I am happy for you and your family that all three generations are tougher. These days this kind of togetherness has become a rarity.
I agree mostly with you but there is one thing that peeved me after reading the article. Prateek wrote the article as if all the blame for the mess goes to the intellectuals and Nepali Congress was the knight in the shining armor. He is in a state of denial. Therefore, I wrote the piece to shock him out of the denial; and that is a cold truth, bitter fact.
I was hoping to receive a rejoinder from him. But he simply has calmed up!

Dear Ratna Sansarji,
Your comparatively lengthy reply to Pratik Pradhan's article is reflective, as usual, of your openness, frankness and, above all, your habit of independent analytical thinking. I like your argument when you define an intellectual as one who expresses his opinion in the interest of 'the motherland and the Nepali people' irrespective of his or her party affiliation.I do agree with you that the writer Pratik Pradhan deserves compliment for exposing the follies and foibles of our 'turn-coat' intellectuals and your use of metaphor 'naked' and 'clothing the emperor' is equally appropriate.No intellectual should blind his eye to the 'naked 'truth that stares at us so bluntly day in and day out.

We try to accommodate private appointments of 6+ groups during the “off” season as best we can – give us a call with plenty of advanced notice for any requests. If you don’t have a large group, visitors have the option to pay the equivalent of 6 adult admissions ($7/adult).
The minimum of 6 admissions helps to cover the hard costs of staffing the admissions/tour, keeping pathways shoveled and parking plowed, and utilities, specifically electrical costs for turning on the heating in two buildings.

After three hugely successful and enjoyable Lost In Disco events at Bush Hall in 2017, we’re very flattered to have been asked to join them in hosting New Year’s Eve.
Bush Hall is a wonderful party venue – its dancehall heritage, chandeliers and ornate cornices make it feel like a special place, where every night feels like an event. At the same time, it’s still intimate enough that our nights feel like private parties – the perfect combination as we usher in 2018 with a night of our trademark 70s and 80s disco; timeless dance classics and the ultimate party music for the New Year.
We’ll be joined again by the outrageous Hot Heels who once again will be challenging the laws of gravity and decency. We’ll be transforming the upstairs bar into a 70s cocktail lounge, there’ll be free bubbly at midnight, and prizes for the best retro outfits.
This is going to be a fantastic way to see in 2018, underpinned of course by a soundtrack of some of the greatest dance music of all time.

Identification of iron in 6H-SiC crystals by electron paramagnetic resonance
We report on the first observation of the electron paramagnetic resonance of iron impurity in SiC:Fe crystals. Iron exists in the Fe3+ (3d5) charge state with electron spin S = 5/2 and seems to occupy silicon sites in the 6H-SiC lattice. The EPR spectrum of Fe3+ in SiC shows a characteristic anisotropy of an S = 5/2 system in a strong axial crystalline field with fine structure parameter D = 0.25 cm-1. The g-factor is nearly isotropic, g = 1.99. The possibility of using iron doping to obtain semi-insulating SiC crystals is discussed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I was ready to get some nails and start sealing the coffin of Bootup. The whole scenario has been a huge credibility killer for Bootup and I am sure it has been tough on the community in Vancouver.
Before I started hammering away at those nails however, I decided to reach out to Boris Wertz. Boris Wertz is a bit of a sage and I figured he would have a sense of what was going on. It was then that I found out that Boris W would be joining the board of Bootup and would be helping to back it.
Danny Robinson posted yesterday that the other Boris, one of the original founders, would be leaving Bootup. I’m not going to speculate on what caused this, but it does seem like everyone at Bootup have committed to doing whatever it takes to get this thing back on the rails.
So here is my endorsement for the new Bootup. Vancouver needs Bootup as much as Bootup needs Vancouver, and with these recent changes I hope that the Vancouver community can get behind Bootup 2.0 as well. I expect that it will take a while, and Bootup will suffer greatly for it, but time will hopefully heal all wounds.
Vancouver is truly one of the best cities in the world, and I know that the startup community there will continue to live up to that reputation. It is a unique place, with a unique startup community and set apart in Canada. Vancouver is a lynchpin of change and I hope a city that leads the charge in rebuilding the definition of what it means to be a startup in Canada. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Accelerated Reader, at its heart, is simple
With Accelerated Reader, a student reads a book, takes an online quiz, and gets immediate feedback. Students respond to regular feedback and are motivated to make progress with their reading skills. Together with Star Reading and myON by Renaissance, it forms a complete reading practice and assessment solution for students of all ages and abilities.
Accelerated Reader in action
Accelerated Reader gives teachers the information they need to monitor students’ reading practice and make informed decisions to guide their future learning. A comprehensive set of reports reveals how much a student has been reading, at what level of complexity, and how well they have understood what they have read. Vocabulary growth and literacy skills are also measured, giving teachers insight into how well students have responded to reading schemes and class instruction.
How Accelerated Reader works
Because students receive regular feedback from Accelerated Reader, teachers and librarians are given many opportunities to praise students for their successes and to discuss with them what they have been reading.There are four different types of Accelerated Reader quiz: Reading Practice, Recorded Voice, Vocabulary Practice, and Literacy Skills.
Pupils develop reading skills most effectively when they read appropriately challenging books – difficult enough to keep them engaged but not so difficult that they become frustrated. This is their ‘Zone of Proximal Development’ (ZPD). Text complexity is determined by the ATOS formula, which uses the text of an entire books to inform the calculation rather than just a sample as with some other formulae. As pupils are retested, their ZPD ranges increase and broaden so they continue to read suitably challenging literature.
Accelerated Reader gives students significantly greater choice in levelled books and quizzes than any comparable reading programme. Over 37,000 reading practice quizzes are available on books from over 300 publishers and imprints. Independent of any publishing interests and suitable for students of primary and secondary age, AR ensures that there are plenty of books to interest every reader available on the programme.
The National Literacy Trust’s second independent research report into the reading habits of students using Accelerated Reader has been published. “Children and young people who use Accelerated Reader tend to enjoy reading more, do it more often and think more positively about reading than their peers who do not use Accelerated Reader. They are also more likely to see a link between reading and their successes.”
