{"text": "Slavery During the Viking Age - An Interview with Ben Raffield\nDr. Ben Raffield is an associate professor and researcher with Uppsala University in Sweden.\nHis current work with the Viking Phenomenon project centers around slave raiding and trading during the Viking Age. The implications of his research expand far beyond simple facts or data sets; its purpose is to create a scaffolding on which we may assemble the layers of ancient Norse culture and norms.\nAs you will hear throughout the podcast, properly envisioning Viking Age society involves recognition that the record (literary and archaeological) lacks crucial evidence of the slave trade.\n“If you have a class of people who are deemed by society...to be objects...their opportunities to acquire their own material biographies that can be found in the archaeological record - those are severely limited.”\nThis challenge may seem like a deterrent for research, but it also exists as the motivational force behind Ben’s work. Those that have been intentionally forgotten or removed from the record deserve to have their stories uncovered and shared.\nWhile a slave's existence may prove more difficult to highlight than kingly characters, whose burials were filled with rich material goods, slavery existed during the Early Medieval Period whether we acknowledge it or not. If we fail to address this practice we are found with an incomplete image of Viking Age society.\n“What I’d like to do with this work is kind of just redress this imbalance that we have in our knowledge of the Viking Age society - because at the moment it’s a very partial knowledge, it’s highly biased towards the discussion of a single group. And that marginalises a very large proportion of the population, not just in the past but in the present today. If we want to understand the past we need to understand the experience of everyone who lived in the past.”\nSo what do we know about the enslaved people of the Viking world?\nBen Raffield’s article in Slavery and Abolition titled “The Slave Markets of the Viking World: Comparative perspectives on an ‘invisible archaeology’ ” serves as the baseline for this query. (We highly recommend you read this article yourself; it is open source and available at this link!) [1]\nLiterary Evidence (in a nutshell):\nWhile Ben mentions many sources in his publication, we thought it would be worth noting three of the most descriptive accounts cited in his work.\nAhmad ibn Faḍlān’s account of Rūs Slavers on the Volga\nKnown as one of the more explicit descriptions of slavery during the time period, Ibn Faḍlān’s description of the Rūs slavers (who are said to have been trading furs in addition to captives) brings attention to several less than savory moments of adventure near the Volga. Most notable is the use of women as sexual slaves, and the sacrifice of an enslaved woman who is to accompany her owner (the deceased chieftain) on his journey to the afterlife. [2]\nLaxdæla Saga\nThis saga includes the story of an Irish captive Melkorka, who is placed for sale in a marketplace alongside 11 other women. She is sold for three marks of silver to Hoskuldr. The occasion for the market was a seasonal assembly in which higher class members of Viking Age society had gathered, implying that this type of may have been a common practice during the time period. [3]\nAnnals of Fulda\nThis describes a battle during the year 880CE in which the Franks are defeated by a group of Viking warriors. As a result, a large number of the Franks are taken captive. Ben Raffield discusses how slaving may have been a byproduct of wartime deeds, something he elaborates on in his publication. [4]\nArchaeological Evidence (in an even smaller nutshell):\nSomething mentioned in the podcast (as well as Ben’s publication) is the fact that the markets in which people were sold into slavery remain difficult to trace. Unlike other slave markets throughout the world, these spaces did not often focus on one commodity, and were utilised for a multitude of functions. This makes it incredibly difficult to uncover archaeological evidence for slaving within a specific location.\nThat being said, there have been shackles discovered at Hedeby (Haithabu), Birka, and Dublin. At Hedeby, 5 of the 6 shackles know from the settlement were found in the harbour area, suggesting that enslaved people were traded on the ships or the wharves themselves.\nTóki’s Legacy in Runes: From Slavery to Freedom\nPerhaps some of the most humanizing moments of archaeology are those in which we hear the voices of the past.\n“These were people. They were living a thousand years ago, but they were people. I can try and at least scratch the surface of that - at the very least provide a more clear eyed view of what the past was.”\nDepicted in the image above, the Hørning Stone (dated from 1000-1050 CE) can be visited at the Moesgaard Museum in Denmark. It contains a runic inscription written by a previously enslaved man, honouring the freedom given to him by his former owner.\n“Tóki the smith raised this stone in memory of Thorgisl, son of Gudmund, who gave him gold(?) and freedom.”\nWhile the evidence of slavery during the Viking Age may be difficult to digest, especially for so many that see it as a time they wish they could experience themselves, it is important to remember that we should remain vigilant in our understanding of the past, even when it reveals unsavory acts.\nWithout spoiling too much for listeners, we’d like to leave you with a final quote from the podcast in which Ben shares his inspiration to continue this research.\n“We live in a world today where millions of people still live in a state of enslavement. We might walk past some of these people every day and have no idea. For me this is my way of trying to understand the lives of people who have this condition forced upon them.”\n---\nThank you so much for sharing your insight with us, Dr. Raffield. Your research is needed, appreciated, and inspiring.\nMore about Dr. Ben Raffield and his publications HERE\n---\nAll original artwork for this blog was created by Sean Parry to narrate the lives of those enslaved, and Tóki's story as a real individual from history.

An example of this is found in the Drei Klavierstücke by Franz Schubert, in which he conceals his own suffering, but is thereby capable of expressing it at the same time. These pieces were the last work on which I was able to work together with Prof. Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, before he died of a serious illness – therefore it has a special place in my repertoire.\nSpring 2010, I worked with the piano music of Karol Szymanowski for the first time. I started to play some of his early works; especially his colorful musical language lulled me in its spell. Since my studies with Prof. Ewa Kupiec, I was also able to specifically deepen that niche even more when I discovered Szymanowski’s Masques, one of his most fascinating and expressive works for piano. Stemming from this inspiration, I created my own personal “Masques suite”:\nFirst, there is the enigmatic, mysterious Masque of Alexander Scriabin, behind whose breathlessness there hides a gentle sensuality. The open end of this poem serves as a harmonically perfect transition to the Masques of Claude Debussy, which highlights the ambiguity as well as the tragedy of the Commedia dell’arte. From the Arabic sounds of the last scene, unfolds the seductive world of Shéhérazade, the first of three legends from Karol Szymanowski’s Masques, in which the respective protagonists try to hide their true intentions. It is followed by Tantris le Bouffon, based on the Celtic legend of Tristan, as well as the Sérénade de Don Juan about the Spanish heartthrob, as completion of my “Masques suite”.\nThe Masques of these three composers arose independently in their own respective musical language, in compilation, though, their hidden similarities become clear – be it simply their thematic connection, the neglect of all these works in concert circuits, the smooth transitions between the different masks and the use of literary genres matches them as well.\nThe sonata Après une lecture de Dante by Franz Liszt also makes reference to the literature. In this work, Dante’s Inferno of the Divina Commedia is being musical represented by a wide variety of character masks and reflects likewise the internal struggle with one’s own demons, which every person experiences for themselves but not always freely admits.\nIn Lü Wenchengs La lune d’automne au-dessus du lac tranquille, the composer reveals the beauty of this picturesque southern Chinese landscapes illustrating the famous West Lake in Hangzhou, which is located in striking distance of my hometown Shanghai. In the surrounding Jiangnan region I can gather new creative energy from the support of my family and close friends, find inner peace and most notably return to my own roots.\nA mask as such can hide both weaknesses and strengths, disguise or even pretend them. For an artist, it can have a protective effect, but it can also reveal one’s strength. It can sometimes reflect a singular aspect of the many facets of an individual’s personality, which perhaps would not be perceived at first glance: the more “true” masks one owns and wears, the less this person has to attempt to adjust and adapt with the aid of “false” masks.\nIt is surely a long journey before one may claim, once in possession of great inner strength, the true masks – having merged as one’s true nature, unified with one’s own face."}

I'm excited to get back on my bike to & from work once all the snow is gone this spring!\nThe new year has been pretty quiet. I've been working on nutrition stuff, teaching yoga & planning for our vacation (59 more sleeps!) I have definitely been dreaming & scheming about Wanderlust as well as another yoga retreat over the summer. Trying to keep it low key in the meantime so that I can make it all happen- tres exciting!\nI just finished a \"variation\" of Sarah Wilson's \"I Quit Sugar\" program last week. Sugar has always been my vice (if you met my mother, you'd understand that I come by it honestly!) however I got to a point a few weeks ago where I honestly wasn't craving it anymore.\nI never thought I'd be able to say that.\nIt was a rough few weeks leading up to that point, but I'm glad I did it. Definitely recommend. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.\nSome of my other new years resolution topics include drinking more water, reading more paper books (rather than just online content), getting outside every day (to & from the car does not count!) & spending more time doing what I love (rather than the opposite). Journalling about my goals every Sunday to follow up with them has kept me accountable to myself.\nExpect to hear more from me soon! xo\nWelcome back! Sugar is evil... I've fallen off the wagon a bit lately and I can really feel it.\nBack when I first gave it up I had terrible cravings. I remember having a dream that I was eating chocolate and it was soooo delicious. Then I remembered that I wasn't supposed to have it and I was like oh nooo, what have I done?\nBut then the most amazing thing happened... I realized that I was dreaming! Suddenly I could eat all the chocolate I wanted in my sleep... and to tell the truth, fantasy chocolate is much more satisfying than the real stuff!\nBahahaha! That's awesome!\nWait- is that sort of like when you're by a waterfall or river or something in a dream and then you realize you just have to pee? Not as fulfilling I would imagine..."}

{"text": "Last month, the National Journal reported:.”\nI’ve always suspected that’s what Mitt Romney really thinks about abortion. It’s strange that this startling piece of news has not had more prominent coverage.\nProbably, liberals don’t want to mention this because they think that Mitt would get more votes from moderates if it were known that he would “never make abortions illegal.” But ironically, conservatives also don’t want to mention this because they think that Romney needs to be anti-abortion to bring out the base.\nThis doesn't make Romney pro-choice. I have the same position on abortion as Todd Akin, but if I were president I'd understand that there aren't enough votes to pass a constitutional amendment to return jurisdiction to the states where it belongs. Having a realistic view of what can be accomplished doesn't change what your actual views are.\nPosted by: av \| October 22, 2012 at 03:10 PM\nOT. but Romney is surprisingly funny. Excellent speech.!\nPosted by: Kiwiguy \| October 22, 2012 at 03:33 PM\nHuh?\nThat means he he is going to focus on the economic crisis. Unlike Obama who spent his time pandering to the 3% Gheys.\nPosted by: Turambar \| October 22, 2012 at 03:48 PM\nMitt Romney himself just said this: \"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda,\" he told the Des Moines Register in an interview posted on the newspaper's website.\nPosted by: Roger \| October 22, 2012 at 03:57 PM\nI wouldn't make them illegal either, I would just use the FDA and other administrative agencies to make performing them basically un-thinkable if a doctor wants to retain his practice. It's not that you can't open an abortion clinic, it's just that it will bankrupt you. Unless you are serving \"at risk\" communities. Then of course exceptions will be made.\nPosted by: anonymous \| October 22, 2012 at 04:13 PM\nThis is mildly reassuring to me, but I don't think I can vote for Romney because I heard the republicans want to put black people back in chains.\nPosted by: helene edwards \| October 22, 2012 at 04:24 PM\nMitt romney will nominate conservative justices to the supreme court that will overturn Roe v. Wade. It is obvious that he is not going to call for any amendment of the constitution. But he will nominate Scalia/Thomas/Alito like justices and those justices will do the rest of the work.\nPosted by: Jonathan \| October 22, 2012 at 05:28 PM\n\"...liberals don’t want to mention this because they think that Mitt would get more votes from moderates...\"\nThis is incorrect. They truly believe he wants to completely ban all abortions.\nPosted by: James McKeane \| October 22, 2012 at 05:39 PM\nMy sense is that the Romney campaign is determined to control the message, keep focused on the economy. You know, like all the libertarian types have been saying the GOP should do. So yeah they figured it out.\nI hope it works for him.\nPosted by: jeanne \| October 22, 2012 at 07:40 PM\n\"It’s strange that this startling piece of news has not had more prominent coverage.\"\nStartling that Romney's sister said something politically helpful for him? Yeah, the press should jump all over that.\nPosted by: Dr. Grzlickson \| October 22, 2012 at 08:44 PM\nIf Romney is pro choice you can be sure the Dems will keep that secret. They need abortion to scare their womenfolk. They are not going to give up that issue.\nPosted by: lil mike \| October 22, 2012 at 09:49 PM\nMost people on the far-right (e.g. Todd Akin) know that Mitt Romney is a liberal and that the media lies about him. The only people deluded about his \"extreme abortion\" position are the same feminazis, the same ones in 2008 who thought that an idiotic moderate like Palin is \"ultra conservative\" (yeah right!).\nPosted by: hguh74 \| October 23, 2012 at 04:27 AM\nMitt's sister said what I said in your last post on this topic. Abortion is irrelevant to this election.\nPosted by: destructure \| October 23, 2012 at 06:49 AM\nYou can't vote for just Mitt Romney. You must vote for the religious extremist and anti-abortion radical Paul Ryan, too. Ryan could easily become president at some point during Romney's two terms. Romney will be 73 by the end of his second term.\n[HS: It's possible, but Romney looks pretty healthy and presidents usually live a long time. Jimmy Carter is still alive. Ford lived into his nineties. George HW Bush is 88 and still healthy.]\nPosted by: Mark Caplan \| October 23, 2012 at 11:08 AM\nRomney did counsel women against have an abortion, so certainly, on a personal level, he thinks its wrong (this is also the Mormon position). As far as legislation goes, I don't foresee him giving federal funds for abortion.\nI do see him nominating judges like Scalia/Thomas/Roberts/Alito, but even if Roe v Wade is overturned, this just sends it back to the states. The Northeast will always have easily available abortions, as will the west coast. YMMV in between these two locales.\nSome on the left may see this as a bad thing, but Thomas/Scalia voted against Kelo vs New London, CT, which is easily worse than unfettered access to abortion on a federal level.\nPosted by: Half Canadian \| October 23, 2012 at 05:34 PM\nThis is why the religious right should give up on abortion and focus on real social issues, like immigration, school choice, affirmative action, etc. Politicians don't care about it. Roe v. Wade is nearly 40 years old. Abortion will never be illegal. The entire issue is a distraction from far more pressing concerns.\nI'm against later-term abortions (after 2-3) months, but if some woman wants to kill her baby in utero then it's basically a form of eugenics. If abortion were less available we might be more serious about procreation and stop treating sex as merely recreational activity, but I'm not holding my breath.\nPosted by: WJ \| October 26, 2012 at 05:29 AM"}

{"text": "The number of U.S. COVID-19 deaths has surpassed the toll of the 1918 influenza pandemic, a milestone many experts say was avoidable after the arrival of vaccines.\nThe U.S. has reported 675,446 deaths since the start of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University data – more than the 675,000 that are estimated to have died a century earlier.\nThe U.S. hits that deadly mark despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines, which were developed in record time in a display of the extraordinary advances in medical science in the past century. The inoculations have been passed up by some 70 million eligible Americans, many of them encouraged by Republican politicians and conservative media.\n“To have so many people who have died with modern medicine is distressing,” said Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Research Institute, who noted there were no ventilators or vaccines in 1918. “The number we are at represents a number that is far worse than it should be in the U.S.”\nThe milestone also comes as the fast-spreading delta variant has pushed the U.S. into a dangerous new phase, upending hopes that the pandemic had passed and setting the stage for an uncertain winter.\nOf course, the comparisons to the 1918 pandemic are highly imperfect. For starters, the U.S. has about three times as many residents as it had a century ago, meaning the implied death rate is about a third as high.\nThe 1918 pandemic also targeted many young people, whereas Covid has so far mostly killed those 65 and over, and the pandemics have played out at very different paces, according to John Barry, author of “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.” He said the 1918 pandemic did the majority of its damage during a 14- to 15-week stretch in the latter part of that year.\n“That was much more intense, much more frightening,” Barry said of the earlier tragedy. But Barry said the stress from COVID has been longer-lasting, “and the economic damage is light-years greater.”\nThis photo shows a demonstration at the Red Cross Emergency Ambulance Station in Washington during the influenza pandemic of 1918. Historians think the pandemic started in Kansas in early 1918, and by winter 1919 the virus had infected a third of the global population and killed at least 50 million people, including 675,000 Americans. Library of Congress via AP\nThere are other reasons why the numbers may not reflect significant differences. The 675,000 estimate from 1918-19 was based on extrapolations from spotty data. While imperfect in their own ways, COVID-19 statistics are probably better.\nDuring extreme events such as pandemics, experts use so-called excess death studies as one way to estimate fatalities – essentially comparing the number of deaths in the outlier period with “normal” times. One excess death estimate from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests there have been as many as 830,443 such fatalities during the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning the official numbers could be an undercount.\nThe unaccounted-for excess deaths may also reflect the price of disruptions in medical care and other indirect byproducts of the pandemic.\nVaccinations first rolled out in the U.S. in December and have been widely available for months. Since then, the vast majority of deaths have been among the unvaccinated.\n“There is so much misinformation out there that some people cannot be convinced” of the benefits of vaccines, said Bertha Hidalgo, an epidemiologist at the University of Alabama. “Those are absolutely the deaths that can be prevented.”\nA CDC study this month found that people who were not fully vaccinated this spring and summer were more than 10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die of COVID-19, than those who were fully vaccinated. While delta’s spread has resulted in more cases among the vaccinated than many anticipated, the vaccine still protects well against severe illness.\nTopol, the Scripps director, said the U.S. has failed in other ways. Mask use has declined significantly, and most people are still using cloth masks, which have shown to be much less effective than surgical and N95 masks. He said there needs to be widespread distribution of medical-grade masks and rapid at-home Covid tests that can help detect infections early on.\n“Vaccines are a paramount part of the strategy, but we have failed on other measures as well,“ Topol said. “We’re fighting this war with two hands behind our"}

{"text": "Your surgery is over now what should you expect? Well, this question should be asked before you undergo surgery, ideally during an outpatient visit even before you sign the surgical consent. Undergoing surgery disrupts many aspects of your life and is best managed when you understand the post-surgical expectations.\nThe first question you should ask is how long will you be in the hospital. This should be followed by how long is the recovery period? This will give you an idea of how much time you will need to take off work and how to arrange assistance with other daily activities such as housework, shopping and cooking. If you are responsible for caring for children or elderly parents then this must also be considered. Even when you have returned to work there will still be some after effects. After major surgery some women bounce back immediately and others take several months to feel normal again.\nHow will you feel immediately after surgery? Should someone be at the hospital with you? How much pain will you be in and what medications will you need to take after the surgery? These are all important points to understand. Some women feel reasonably well after surgery while others are quite drowsy and some have significant nausea. The postoperative care involves managing these unwanted effects.\nWomen undergoing a hysterectomy may feel extremely well or have a lot of pain or nausea. This is dependent on the surgical route and on individual reaction. After an abdominal hysterectomy most women will have a good amount of pain and require analgesics, especially narcotic base. This can contribute to drowsiness and nausea. Those who have the procedure through a less invasive route will require less analgesia and likely experience less medication side effects.\nThere are expectations of you as well. Your cooperation is required to minimize unwanted complications and to detect problems early. You physician may instruct you to be mobile early in the postoperative process and even though you maybe uncomfortable it is important to do as instructed. This will decrease your chance of developing a venous thrombosis or a pulmonary embolus, which is the common cause of death in women undergoing gynecologic surgery. The risk is low but present. You may also be instructed to do some breathing exercises through a device. This is designed to help your lung expand and minimize the risk of pneumonia. Finally, make sure you understand and follow the postoperative instructions closely and follow up as instructed.\nThe postoperative office visit is designed to review the surgery, ensure that you are healing as expected and provide instructions for returning to normal activity. At this visit, any histopathology reports should be reviewed. Ask for a copy so you can keep for your records. Finally the doctor should tell you what is your required follow up. For instance, after a cone biopsy of the cervix for dysplasia, a pap smear every 4-6 months maybe required.\nIt is important that you understand every step of the surgical process. Take notes, ask questions and do your research. When you visit your doctors, be prepared. Ask focused, direct questions. I highly recommend that you take your spouse, other relative or trusted friend along with you, as two sets of ears are better than one. Be your own health advocate. This will increase your chance of having a satisfactory outcome.\nI hope this article has provided you with information that will help you make wise choices, so you may:\nLive healthy, live well and live long!"}

{"text": "Suction Entrapment Accidents\nDr. Rowley is a pioneer researcher and expert on suction entrapment. He has been retained in more than 50 suction entrapment accident cases., including suction entrapment incidents.\nSuction entrapment will occur in a swimming pool, wading pool or spa when a person's body, or parts thereof, block the open source of suction from a pool or spa to a circulation pump. Suction entrapment accidents can involve body entrapment, limb entrapment, hair entrapment, and evisceration, and they usually occur on a single open or broken main drain that is the only source of suction to the circulation pump.\nDr. Rowley has researched and written extensively on the topic of suction entrapment, having published more than 16 articles on the topic since July 1974 when he conducted the first-of-its-kind research on this type of accident in a test pool. Since that time he has continued to engage in over 300 field tests in which he has trapped himself under water.\nPhoto taken in December 2007 of Dr. Rowley conducting suction entrapment testing with himself as the test subject on an open drain in a dual-main-drain system (the open drain can be seen in the bottom center of the photo). This research was peer-reviewed and published in the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education (IJARE).\nDr. Rowley also helped co-author. To his knowledge there have not been any such accidents in California wading pools since 1997, or in California swimming pools since 2002.\nHaving designed more than 675 major commercial swimming pools and spas, Dr. Rowley is able to provide insight into various elements that may or may not be relevant in a suction entrapment case, including the following:\n- a swimming pool's design and construction\n- a swimming pool's compliance with code\n- maintenance and operational issues\nDr. Rowley's expertise is relevant in cases involving residential and commercial pools and spas, water parks, and hot tubs.\nIf you are interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Rowley."}

{"text": "BLACK-CHEEKED LOVEBIRD (Agapornis Nigrigenis)\nOne of the most threatened lovebird species\nby R.J.McMillan © The UK\nThe Black Cheeked Lovebird. ©\nThe Black-cheeked lovebird is one of the nine species from the Genus AGAPORNIS and was discovered by Dr.A.H.B.Kirkmaí in 1904 The first specimens reached Europe some three years later.\nThe existing ranges of the Black-cheeked are small areas of Zambia, Namibia, and parts of Zimbabwe It has the smallest range of all the nine species with the exception to the Black- collared which is the least known of the genus.\nSurveys of the wild population of Black-cheeked indicate that it is Africa's most endangered parrot the initial decline of this species is believed to have taken place in the 1920 / 1930's by heavy trapping for the bird trade.\nHabitat alteration, suitable water holes, destruction of mopane woodlands, resumption of illegal trapping and the additional threat being the irresponsible introduction from other area's of the Nyasa Lovebird limit the recovery of this species in the wild, which are known to hybridise freely with the Black-cheeked. The Black-cheeked is basically the same size as the Nyasa and apart from the colour of its head and upper breast it is almost identical as other features to the Nyasa lovebirds. The former are reasonably hardy in captivity but can be badly affected by conditions of extreme wet and cold.\nThe recovery of this species in the wild is limited by habitat is the most desirable and feasible option. The maintenance of a captive purebred population of this species is of the utmost importance as a safeguard against a loss of genetic variability or even extinction. It is important however to emphasize that the establishment of a captive population in no way diminished the urgency of ensuring the survival of this species is the wild.\nThe founder stock for a captive breeding programme must be selected with the greatest care and detailed records kept of source, age, ring numbers, etc. Contacts with other breeders should be maintained and also contact with the Rare Species Officers of the Lovebird Society around the world,also the efficient use of the Internet could be of considerable assistance is maintaining captive bred populations.\nBlack-cheeked lovebirds have been crossbred in captivity indiscriminately with other species of the AGAPORNIS genus resulting in quite a large number of fertile hybrids. These hybrids should be avoided at all cost or even culled to maintain the true Species.\nThe full detailed description of the Black-cheeked lovebird is available is many aviculturists textbooks however the following points may help with the visual sexing of this species. Generally hens have a flatter broader skull a more substantial beak and a wider abdomen and are more squat but slightly larger in appearance than the cocks. The colouration of the hen is similar to that of the cock except the plumage and the cheeks, which are often less black and browner in colour and a little less glossy. The forehead is less reddish-brown the neck is rather more green than olive and the orange-red to yellow upper breast area tends to be smaller and paler than in the cock. This lovebird is moderately noisy but is generally more peaceable than other of the genus although will occasionally quarrel if to confined. Its diet consists of a seed mix of various millets, canary, some Niger, hemp and a small amount of sunflower. They also like apple, cheese, pear and small amount of orange, chickweed, brown bread and seeding grasses.\nBreeding successes vary due to the small captive population available to aviculturists. This can result is loss of genetic diversity in the captive population, which could account for reduced fertility or fitness low hatchability of fertile eggs poor survival of young and increased susceptibility of disease. It is hoped that this article will encourage the true aviculturists/conservationists within our ranks to maintain a pure captive bred population of this species.\nThe ruthlessness and greed of hybridisation and mutation breeding by aviculturists within captivity, will only help a species on the road to EXTINCTION AS MONEY CAN ALWAYS BE PRINTED, EXTINCT SPECIES ARE GONE FOREVER.\nWe will be pleased to receive further articles and information of interest to add to our Web Site or for publication in our Magazine.\nPlease forward by E-Mail to The Parrot Society UK or by post to:\nThe Webmaster\nWeb Site Cordinator\nThe Parrot Society UK.\n92A High Street\nBerkhamsted,\nHertfordshire\nUK\nHP4 2BL.\nTelephone/Facsimile No.: (44) (0) 1442 872245\nN.B.."}

All in all, it seems to be the love child of the HTC One and the One SV (whose body it seems to borrow).\nWhat is definitely of note is the use of stereo sound, this is the second HTC device sporting dual speakers to be spotted at the TENAA, after the 606w that showed up last week.

Yep, no UltraPixel camera for this device, but depending on where you stand in relation to all these marketing terms going around, that might not be a bad thing.\nThe HTC 608t has a decent set of rumoured specs, which means it’s possible we could see this smartphone in other countries.

Depending on the severity of the cracks or damage, it might be possible to repair the problem with epoxy and sealant.\n2. There are Erosion Holes Around Your Seawall\nLook along the seawall to see if there are any areas where it appears that there are holes in the soil. These depressions are called erosion holes, and they occur when a seawall is allowing the soil to move through the seams of the wall.\nTo fix this issue, it's necessary to reinforce the seawall's seams. This can be done by removing the earth behind the seawall and adding filter cloth over the seams. The cloth will prevent the soil from continuing to escape through the wall.\n3. The Sealant on Your Seawall Looks Flaky\nExamine the texture of your seawall and look for areas where the finish appears to be flaking off. Flaky seawalls indicate that the seawall's sealant is starting to deteriorate. The sealant lends an extra layer of protection to the seawall against moisture and other potentially damaging items. Fortunately, a flaky seawall doesn't mean that there's anything structurally wrong with your seawall—it just means that it needs a fresh layer of sealant.\n4. There are Cracks Along the Seawall\nCracking is another subtle sign that a seawall needs repair. When steel inside the seawall starts to rust, it begins to expand. This expansion causes the seawall's concrete to crack.\nIt's best to deal with cracks in your seawall as quickly as possible. If you don't fix them, moisture will make its way into the crack and make it even worse. When the moisture freezes and refreezes (which often happens during the winter months), this accelerates the damage. Cracks are often repaired by inserting epoxy into the crack and then capping the seawall.\nFor more information or assistance, contact local seawall repair specialists.Share"}

Since there aren't, it's far more likely that there is either a fault somewhere in your aerial system or you are suffering from interference caused by something nearby. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV, then follow along the aerial cable as far as you can safely access. Also, try to keep the different cables separated behind your TV, as HDMI leads in particular are a common source of electrical interference.\nStevensOnln1's 3,047 posts\nCChris.SE\n9:57 PM\nJohn J:\nIt's also possible, but maybe less likely that you are in a bit of an awkward spot in relation to PSB2 reception. If you provide a full postcode (or one for a very close retail or public premises) we could check that for you. If the terrain is your locale is very variable, it'll need to be somewhere very close by or your own postcode.\nChris.SE's 2,132 posts\nSelect more commentsYour comment please"}

{"text": "Earlier this week I went grocery shopping with Mommy. In the cake aisle I decided Mommy wanted a pink cake with pink icing. I really wanted to pick out sprinkles but Mommy said we had plenty at home. Sprinkles are my favorite.\nToday is her birthday and I cannot wait to make her cake. I brought my tall step stool into the kitchen (it's the one I use to wash my hands in the bathroom). The cake mix was on the counter and I was ready. I found my apron and Mommy helped me put it on, and I gave her apron to her (it's pretty, she got it yesterday in a big package from my Great-Aunt Sharon & Great-Uncle Ken). Mommy read me what I would need to make her cake and she got out a bowl, eggs, sprinkles, measuring cup and a bouncy thing that was really fun to pretend stir. I was ready!\nMommy helped me by starting with the eggs. I was careful to using the bouncy thing to stir the eggs. By the third egg, mommy help me do it myself.\nI really like stirring Mommy's cake. Mommy said it was ready to be baked but I said it needed sprinkles. It needed purple and pink sprinkles.\nI watched as Mommy poured all the cake batter into a big pan. Then it needed more sprinkles.\nI tried to pick up the big pan but it was too heavy so Mommy put it in the oven for me.\nMommy closed the oven door and set the timer. I was very excited. Every couple minutes I told Mommy the cake was done but she said no. She moved the step stool in front of the oven and showed me the timer and read the numbers to me. It still wasn't ready.\nI was so excited when the oven beeped. Mommy opened the oven door and pulled out the rack so we could look at it. I was ready for more sprinkles. I got sad because Mommy explained the cake was too hot for sprinkles. I watched TinkerBelle movie to help pass the time. Then it time to decorate the cake!\nThe pink icing wasn't easy and I kept moving the spoon up and down into the cake, instead of side to side like Mommy showed me. I let Mommy help so I could get to the sprinkles faster.\nI had lots of fun decorating Mommy's cake with the pink sprinkles, purple sprinkles and tiny heart sprinkles. When I didn't think Mommy was looking I would sample them! I was all done with each sprinkle shaker was empty!\nNow the cake was ready for candles, fire and Happy Birthday.\nI was very careful placing each candle one at a time. When I was finished I decided the candles might look better another way, so I rearranged them. It was almost time to sing Happy Birthday! I helped Mommy retrieve the fire from the kitchen drawer (I'm very observant!).\nDaddy and I sang Happy Birthday to Mommy. She was sneaky and blew out all the candles so fast that I was only able to help her blow out one. I really wanted to blow the candles out for her.\n2 comments:\nI am glad you had a great birthday and tasty cake! I read this to my mom and she said it could be a children's book. Something to think about...\ndid you ever think you'd be spending \"your\" birthday making sure your child had a great day? I know I didn't, but I can't wait to for the very same thing to happen :)Happy belated birthday Jill."}

This is a word for word caption player that allows the user to drag the captioning window anywhere in the connect meeting. The output will mirror your streamtext output and not require any special adjustments.\nNote: the original CC pods should still work if you use the application to open Adobe Connect. However we are not sure how long that will be supported.\nWith the latest release Adobe 11.2 has created a new interface for captioning their meeting rooms. You no longer need to load a separate CC pod. The interface just requires a token and the adobe meeting URL. Note this method only works with the HTML/Browser based Adobe Connect room.\n- The first step is to retrieve the token from the Adobe Meeting.\n- In the Adobe Connect meeting go to preferences.\n- Now select Closed Captions from preferences menu and check off Enable Closed Captions and select StreamText as the caption provider. The caption title can be any value you want. It is a display name.\n- Copy the token. Go to the CC menu and select copy StreamText API token.\n- Now you need to create the correct ingestion URL from the copied token. This part has not been automated yet so you will need to create the link manually. The next release this link will be available to copy directly from Adobe Connect. So for now you will need to create the URL with the format below. The meeting room URL is the first part of the link you were sent to join room.\nThe realtime link format for StreamText is:\nNote: The base meeting room URL ends in adobeconnect.com do not include anything after the .com they just need to have the meeting room bae URL.\nhttps://<YouMeetingRoomBaseURL>/service/ccsvc?token=<token copied from Adobe>\nExample:\nMeeting room invite URL :\nThe meeting room URL is meet63576935.adobeconnect.com . Notice nothing after .com we did not include /streamtextdemo/\nThe Token copied is sgvur4ac5b8zepbrzof6xvcbigp6mo\nThe realtime URL to enter into StreamText is:\n- Paste that URL in the realtime ingestion URL on the CART/Captioning Tab or from the event control under \"change settings\"\n- Create or update the StreamText event settings and the text will start streaming word for word into the Adobe Connect CC feature. This can be selected as needed by the user by clicking on the CC button in the main adobe meeting menu and selecting show captions."}

{"text": "Even if you’ve never heard of MailChimp, you’ve probably interacted with the company’s marketing products through its millions of customers. MailChimp offers the world’s largest marketing automation platform, powered by its mission since its inception in 2001: to help small businesses grow.\n“We aim to be the backbone for customer relationships—providing sophisticated marketing tools that anyone can use to grow their businesses,” said Dave Carr, assistant director of Tech Support for MailChimp. “We aim to empower the underdog.”\nMailChimp has certainly found success in empowering the underdog. Its employee count is over 700 and its customer base tops 16 million, with over 50 percent of those customers based outside the United States. To support its customers, MailChimp offers self help and 24/7 email support, supplemented by 24/5 chat support—all based out of its Atlanta office, to accommodate global time zones. In 2017 alone, around 100 agents handled approximately 35,000 tickets each month.\nMailChimp started using Zendesk to serve customers beginning in March 2016, after switching away from another large-scale enterprise vendor.\nThe team wanted a higher level of support and felt pressure from the vendor to move MailChimp away from email-based support, something MailChimp’s leadership was skeptical about; at the time, the team received over 13,000 email tickets each month. As the team began to look for a new solution, they wanted to choose a tech partner that better understood their specific needs and customer base, and software that wouldn’t require heavy lifting from MailChimp’s developers when customizing.\nWith this criteria in mind, MailChimp began an extensive search that led the team to Zendesk. MailChimp decided to roll out both Zendesk Support and Zendesk Chat simultaneously, with the help of Zendesk’s professional services team. The customer service team was fully up and running on Zendesk within four months.\n“We made that very clear to Zendesk that we were looking for guidance from a process standpoint, when it came to knowing the best way to rip-and-replace,” said Carr. “We worked closely with the Zendesk team to draw up a plan for implementation, and they did a really good job of holding our hand through the process. It was beneficial that we got to turn a lot of the wrenches ourselves, but they were there as a safety net to ensure that we followed the plan.”\nAfter implementation, MailChimp added several helpful productivity apps from the Zendesk Apps Marketplace, including Five Most Recent, to provide more context around a customer’s past support issues, and Answer IQ, to lean on AI to resolve some customer issues.\nThe agent onboarding process came with the same ease as implementation and agents were able to hit the ground running. After some initial classroom training about some of the more technical features in Zendesk, they began taking tickets.\nMailChimp’s configuration includes several specific functionalities aimed to help maximize agent time and improve the customer experience. For example, the team uses automation to trigger emails and chats after an issue has been resolved, but before the ticket is closed. This gives the customer a chance to ask any additional questions. By automating these follow-ups and check-ins for open tickets, MailChimp saved a whopping 48,000 agent replies in 2017—allowing agents to focus their efforts on answering new questions, and empowering customers to use the MailChimp app.\nThe team also relies on triggers and more than 1,000 macros to help keep customer response times short. Any ticket that sits untouched too long will automatically route to another agent. The first response to a new customer ticket is also an auto-response that requests some additional information. Once the customer replies, the agent has everything they need to resolve the issue. The team’s full resolution time for email is, on average, 24 hours and just over 26 minutes for live chats.\nThere has been a noted improvement in efficiency since switching to Zendesk. With automated routing based on a customer’s support topic, tickets reach the right teams, faster. Gains across the board were reflected in the team’s CSAT, which averaged 92 percent in 2017.\nBusiness Solutions Manager John Turner explained, “The efficiency gained from the move to Zendesk has been the ability to pivot so easily in the system. Previously, there wasn’t a centralized way to move tickets—it was all hard coded and there was a lot of work involved. But now we have a system that integrates both chat and email, and we can easily change things. More than with our agents, efficiencies were made in our processes.”\nPart of the team’s success with raising and maintaining customer satisfaction came from being able to more closely analyze data using Support’s analytics, and to make subsequent changes. The team also increased their CSAT response rate from 10 to 30 percent—a 200 percent increase—after switching away from their previous service provider. “We’re just trying to stay on top of the customer experience,” Turner said."}

{"text": "So. Much. Inspiration.\nLast the mother of a school-age child, I never could justify leaving him during his first week of school.\nUntil this year, that is! My son is now in 7th grade, and he’s in his 2nd year at his school, and is very happy there. I knew my husband would be fine single parenting for the week (as he’s done many times when I’ve left for work or to visit my Dad), so I signed up for the camp back in December, and it did not disappoint! I arrived knowing one or two people, and I left with so many new friends, and having not only learned so much about writing, playing guitar and singing, but also having had a huge creative and emotional breakthrough.\nMy new album was not named World on Fire on a whim. The name really reflects both the literal smoke and flames that have affected me, and also the chaos (by way of illness, economic insecurity and more) that has impacted both me and my family over the past few years. One of the biggest realizations from my camp experience (and specifically, during a session by the wonderful Martyn Joseph), was that I’ve been stuffing my feelings down deep for the past few years. Yes, I have written some songs about them, but more often than not, I’ve been taking the pain and emotions and locking them in a little box so that I could go on with my day to day life. That’s just not healthy, and it doesn’t lead to creativity.\nOver the past year or so, I’ve written only a handful of new songs. During the past week, I’ve already written or started 5 new songs, and finished two. I feel open and unlocked in a way that I haven’t felt for several years, and it feels good. I feel like I can breathe again.\nHere’s a video for one of the new songs I wrote this week. I was invited to play a short set this coming Sunday for a Listen, Learn, Lead Town Hall sponsored by Nasty Women Get Shit Done PDX, and I think this will have to be one of the songs I play!"}

{"text": "Tuesday August 18th 2020\nOn the left Christine Grahame, SNP MSP and Michelle Ballantyne, Conservative MSP\nLocal MSP Christine Grahame has called the Conservative’s position on this year’s exam results “rank hypocrisy” – after the UK government was forced into U-turning on their decision by qualifications watchdog Ofqual.\nIn Scotland, Education Secretary John Swinney instructed the SQA to award pupils their predicted grades after admitting the moderation mechanism in place was the wrong thing to do. Today, it was confirmed that Ofqual would now award predicted grades to pupils in England after the UK government failed to take ownership of the issue.\nMs Grahame, MSP for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale (SNP) said:\n“Despite calling for resignations in Holyrood, the Scottish Tories have been completely silent in calling for their UK bosses to be sacked.\n“The Tories are guilty of rank hypocrisy on this issue, and voters will see them as the opportunists that they are.\n“As a former secondary teacher myself, I fully recognise the real distress the exam process caused students this year which is why the Cabinet Secretary, John Swinney, took quick action to rectify it when the reality became clear. This has been the first time an exam diet has been cancelled in 130 years – challenges were likely, but I’m glad the Scottish Government listened to students and teachers to resolve it.\n“Unfortunately despite this the Tories and Labour continued to play petty political games in calling for the Cabinet Secretary’s resignation in the middle of this crucial time regardless of the resolution. Indeed we had Michelle Ballantyne MSP saying on 10th August that “It’s clear John Swinney does not have the public’s confidence… It’s clear that [he] has to go”\n“Gavin Williamson MP, the UK Education secretary, was meanwhile refusing to learn lessons from Scotland ahead of the English results being announced and chose instead to take a cheap pop at the SNP, claiming the restoration of teacher estimated grades was “rampant grade inflation”.\n“Now that the Tories in England have been forced to U-turn on this by Ofqual after protracted uncertainty for students, the Tories silence in calling for Mr Williamson’s resignation is frankly deafening.\n“It only goes to show that as far as the Tories are concerned it’s one rule for the Scottish Government and another for the UK Government, dependent on what suits them politically – it’s nothing to do with students best interests.”\nMidlothian View asked Michelle Ballantyne MSP to respond Ms Grahame’s comment.\n“Education is fully devolved in Scotland as Christine Grahame is all too aware. I was focussing on ensuring that pupils across Midlothian and the Scottish Borders got the results they deserved, not the results handed to them by the SNP Government.\n“It is completely disingenuous to suggest that John Swinney took quick action to rectify the shambles he helped create.\n“Despite protesting pupils and the concerns of parents, he refused to listen until his job was on the line in a no confidence vote. Only then did he take action.\n“Christine Grahame also fails to recognise that this has been yet another disaster for John Swinney, adding to the long list during his time as Education Secretary – that is the crux of why I believe the confidence in him cannot be recovered.”\n“This has been an extraordinary year for assessing our pupils across all parts of the United Kingdom and mistakes have been made in all four nations of the UK. This does not excuse the SNP Government’s attitude towards the situation and it certainly does not qualify John Swinney for any credit for his handling of this mess.\n“Policy makers in all parties clearly have lessons to learn when it comes to developing these grading systems, and that’s why I will not take any lectures from Christine Grahame when it comes to standing up for our pupils on what is a completely devolved issue.”\nMichelle Ballantyne is the Conservative 2021 candidate for Christine Grahame’s parliamentary seat in Midlothian South, Tweeddale and LauderdaleTweet Share on Facebook"}
{"text": "Well, that aside, another way to view the output of these devices would be to use the standard composite video out to your TV. So I take my Apple IIGS, hook up the composite out directly to the TV's video in and ...\nAs you can see, the stuff that are supposed to be in black and white are tinted with color fringes. This would be somewhat acceptable for games and applications with mostly graphics. If you are using it with 80 column text, or graphical text, you will soon get a headache from trying to read it. The Apple IIGS composite video circuits automatically disable the colour burst signal so you get something in black and white. This improves the readability somewhat but on screens with combined graphics + text you get the same problem. That is the main reason why the came out with RGB monitors.\nWell, my TV has the standard Y Pb Pc component input. If you connect something meant for RGB to it, it works, everything is as clear as RGB, but with the wrong colours. That's a good enough start for me. After searching around for a DIY RGB to component converter, I found one in my local electronics store already packaged as a kit. It was published as a Silicon Chip article. I proceeded and assembled the kit. After that, I think the TV expects the SYNC signal with the luminance (Y) signal, or it just displays the \"no signal\" blue background.\nA quick question to Tony Diaz (thanks Tony) gets me what I needed. It is safe to just tie the composite SYNC signal with the Green output to have \"Sync on green\". After wiring a makeshift D15 IIGS RGB with wires leading directly to the RGB to component converter I finally have the results I was hoping for. Here's are comparisons of using the composite \"video in\" image and the \"RGB converted\" image.\nClose up of the converted image. Note the clear black and white text.\nLast 2 are pictures of the Tour of the Apple IIGS. They are \"graphical text\". You should be able to tell which is which ;)\nAnother 2 images for comparison... again you should be able to tell which is which.\nEntire screens.\n12 comments:\nNice work. Is there a link to the kid that doesn't involve registering?\nWould you consider making and selling these? If so, do you have a price in mind?\nRob, the link points to the website of the magazine that published the circuit I used. They do own the intellectual property on it and I guess they don't really want to give it away for free.\n...jg the circuit has been made available by several local electronics shops and are being sold as a kit that you assemble yourself. The one I got cost Au$80 unassembled. I currently have no plans of making and selling these, though I may change my mind if there is enough interest. I'm sure it will cost a lot less for a bigger volume than the \"price for one\" above.\nHoly awesome, Batman. $80AU is pretty inexpensive, too.\nThis isn't working out so well. First time using Blogger software. Here is a link to the schematic on their site. They have a free slideshow that includes this..\nSchematic\nWow this is exactly what i have been waiting for lol. I have an RGB monitor but i know this 20 year monitor can't last for ever and getting fed up with Composite. Please make them and sell them :-)\nHi,\nI don't fully understand what will or not work with various TV inputs. I am in the UK and have a TV with a Scart RGB socket and have purchased a cable that connects directly to this from my IIGS. Picture looks pretty damn good, but on a 32 inch TV is a bit big :-). Smaller LCDs dont have Scart sockets (specifically RGB ones) so i was looking at doing this to get component input which some LCD monitors now support. As I already have a scart cable from my IIGS could i just purchase a standard RGB Scart to component unit? rather than do the DIY method? or would i still end up with wrong colours?\nMany Thanks\nAndrew\nIn theory converting the scart RGB to component should work. I have tried this on a large screen LCD tv and it comes out pretty clear. Problem is it blanks out every 5 to 10 seconds and then comes back. I'm not sure what's causing this and I will try to investigate if I find the time.\nWell i bought a Scart to Component Converter (CSY-2100) and though i get a picture the top of my screen just doesnt seem to stay sync'd. Possibly my TV..\nIs there any reason why this wouldn't work on an NTSC tv?\nDrew\nIf your TV is the HD type, it may be getting messed up by the IIGS' signal which is not quite 480i... is timing fools HDTV's into switching back and fourth between 480i and 720p. I don't know if there is a way to \"fix\" this but I haven't given up.\nVectorthom\nMy TV is a NTSC tv. Well it's multisystem, but with component video this doesn't actually matter. If you switch the IIGS output to 60Hz it should appear like it does in my pictures (that is how I have it set)."}

{"text": "In painting, sculpture and film, Léger saw cubism in the urban landscape\nToday the Philadelphia Museum of Art opens a new exhibit of paintings by the first great painter of the modern urban city.\nFernand Léger was schooled in the cubist style that swept Paris in the 1910s, and saw that he didn't have to impose fragmented cubist planes upon the world. Cities were already doing it for him.\n\"It is the experience, the feeling, the sensation of the city that he wants to capture,\" said curator Anne Vallye. \"He believes that experience of walking down the street is best captured by the means of painting. And what are the means of painting? Color, line, and shape. He wants to intensify the means of painting.\"\n\"Léger: Modern Art and the Metropolis\" is based on one of PMA's prized possessions, Léger's mural-sized masterpiece \"The City\" (1919), a raucous jumble of shapes, colors, fragmented text, and vertical lines that speak to the heady excitement, confrontation, and chaos of life in a thickly urban environment.\n\"The City\" was painted when Léger was still a young man launching his career. Vallye expands from there, forward and backward, to show the shoulders Léger stood on (including a Picasso collage) and the wild places he would go.\nVallye's ambitious presentation transforms the main gallery of the museum into a kind of Léger composition, with multiple film loops projected (Léger dabbled in silent film, particularly with the groundbreaking conceptual film \"Ballet Mechanique\"), several pieces of music playing, advertising posters dropped from the ceiling (the artist work extensively in graphic design), and theatrical sets and costumes with which Léger was involved. There is even a mechanically animated model of a theater set, because the sets worked in both space and time.\nThis was the era of the Ballet Russes, when theaters in Paris were experimenting with confrontational performance art. Léger was in the middle of it, creating bright, angular sets and costumes that competed with the actors for attention.\n\"All of these arts are urban arts. They were arts designed to be experienced by a number of people at the same time in a public space,\" said Vallye. \"He wanted to bring his art almost literally to the street, to the urban populace, outside the confines of the art gallery.\"\nThe section of the exhibition about architecture shows Léger trying to do more than reflect the vibrancy of the urban city — he was trying to affect it. The way he carved and plotted space on canvases and theater stages was attuned to new design ideas coming out of The Netherlands, De Stijl. One of the visionary architects of Modernism, Le Corbusier, said \"Of all the modern painters, Léger is the one whose paintings demand a modern architecture.\"\n\"He was a leader, certainly, but one among many artists who all participated in the great design to bring art to the street,\" said Vallye. \"To merge art with modern life.\"\n\"Léger: Modern Art and the Metropolis\" is on view until January 5, 2014.\n"}

{"text": "News\nTrailers\nReviews\nUpcoming\nHeroes\nPop\nGames\nTV\ndvds\nButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: The Ultimate Collector's Edition\nBy Edward Perkis\n1 year ago\n“John Wayne don’t run.” When screenwriter William Goldman was shopping his script for the movie\nThe Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy\n, he got a lot of offers, but one studio head said he wouldn’t buy the script unless Goldman changed the plot to have the title characters stand and fight their pursuers rather than running to Bolivia. Goldman explained that the script was based on fact and that the two outlaws did indeed run, to which the studio head replied with the above quote. That pretty much sums up everything that works about what was eventually renamed\nButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid\n, the 1969 classic (out now in a brand new 2 Disc Collector’s Edition) that went on to win an armful of Academy Awards, make Robert Redford a star, reinvent the Western, and originate the “buddy picture.” John Wayne never ran, but Butch and Sundance run like hell.\n10\n/\n10\nstars\nRating:\nThe plot of\nButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid\nis pretty well known, but if you’ve never seen it: Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) is the leader of the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, train and bank robbers in 1890’s Utah. Cassidy is the brains of the group, leaving the crack shooting to his partner, the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford.) In addition to leading their band of somewhat dim associates, the two banter like a pair of old women. This is the basis for much of the humor in the film, and the comic timing of Newman (who didn’t have confidence in his comic abilities and was worried about playing Cassidy for just that reason) and Redford is impeccable.\nThe use of humor in a Western was not new in 1969, but typically was limited to someone like Don Knotts or Bob Hope playing a buffoon who moves through a series of farcical situations and survives on dumb luck. As is demonstrated time and again, Butch and Sundance are not buffoons or even comics, they are just likeable guys who happen to steal stuff. While this sort of action-buddy banter is familiar and common these days, it pretty much originated with this film. Most of the classic lines from the movie are based in the close relationship between the leads and their ability to criticize or mock each other at almost any time. While attempting to open up a safe, Cassidy blows up the entire railroad car the safe is in and nearly kills himself and Sundance. With cash, smoke, and wood drifting down around them Redford looks at Butch and dryly asks, “Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?”\nWhile the two would be happy to enjoy this way of life forever, the future pushes them out of their comfortable life and on the run. A Super Posse begins to chase Butch and Sundance after a railroad magnate tires of their constantly robbing his trains. Director George Roy Hill shoots them from a distance, a faceless, relentless entity that spells the end of life as previously known in the West. Butch and Sundance, previously good natured, humorous scamps, begin to demonstrate ever increasing panic as they are unable to shake the posse. Man, despite all his talents, sometimes comes into contact with a force over which he has no control; in this case, the future. Butch and Sundance’s time has passed, they just don’t know it yet.\nThe run from the posse gives Cinematographer Conrad Hall a chance to work his magic in the beautiful areas around Utah and Mexico. He justifiably won an Oscar for his work (as did the script and the music.) Butch and Sundance eventually make their way to Bolivia with Sundance’s girlfriend, Etta (Katherine Ross) and attempt to go straight. But the future is coming, and, as one character puts it, for a pair of “two-bit outlaws on the dodge,” it’s pretty much over.\n8\n/\n10\nstars\nRating:\nI haven’t seen any previous versions of this movie on DVD (I own a well played VHS copy that I’m happily upgrading for this Collector’s Edition DVD), so I can’t comment on if it is worth buying this version as an upgrade. There is a one-disc Special Edition from 2000 which has one commentary, a making-of featurette, interviews with the cast and screenwriter, and some DVD-Rom info on the real outlaws. I can say, without reservation, that if you only own VHS or no version, picking this up at $16-$20 is an\nexcellent\nvalue. The film is shown in anamorphic widescreen (2.35 to 1) which shows off the amazing cinematography well. The sound is Dolby 5.1 and you have no trouble picking up the dialogue, even when Redford mumbles, which he sometimes does. Not only is the movie a classic, but there is a nice selection of extras. There is a bit of padding, which drops the rating a bit, but you get a good value with the 2 disc set. Here is what you get:\n“Commentary by Director George Roy Hill, Cinematographer Conrad Hall, Lyricist Hal David, and Documentary Filmmaker Robert Crawford, Jr.” – This commentary was recorded for the 2000 SE DVD and is re-used here. Hill was clearly nearing the end of his life (he died in 2002) and barely participates. When he does, he is obviously reading from a script and it’s unlikely he was even watching the movie at the time. Hal David shows up only briefly during the “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” scene. So it is Hall and Crawford who give most of the commentary and they are actually pretty good. They don’t seem to be in the same room but each has insights and interesting facts about the shots. Crawford is meant to be a stand-in for Hill and often starts his comments with “George wanted…” or “What George was doing here was…..” Certainly of interest to any fan of the film.\n“Commentary by Screenwriter William Goldman” - Wow, what a disappointment. Most of the comments Goldman makes about the writing process and casting are also repeated in the interviews or features included in this set, so they are available elsewhere. His direct comments about the movie as he watches are along the lines “I just love this scene” or “Redford and Newman do such a great job here, I love what they did” or “I love the cinematography of this ride.” There are also four to five minutes where he says nothing at all, you almost forget (as Goldman apparently did) that you are listening to a commentary track. He does make a few critical comments about people who work at studios and movies today that are interesting, but not so interesting you want to listen to to the whole thing again. Recorded recently since he refers to\nMarch of the Penguins\nat one point, but you aren’t missing anything by skipping this altogether.\n“1994 Documentary: The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” – A very oddly titled extra. Despite how it is titled on the disc, this documentary was actually made in 1968 as they were shooting the picture. This is the only extra in this package that shows \"behind the scenes\" during the shoot. Directed by Production Assistant Robert Crawford, Jr. (who also does one of the commentaries to the film), George Roy Hill narrates most of it and explains how many of the shots (like the jump off the cliff) were done. Also, since this was completed prior to the release of the movie, Hill had no idea how the film would be received. He even comments on how he hopes the audience accepts the picture when it is released. The extra most likely to be of interest to film buffs and the only extra (besides the two commentaries) found on Disc 1.\n“All That Follows is True: The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” - A new featurette about 35 minutes long. It focuses on the making of the movie with interviews with all the principals who are still around (basically everyone but George Roy Hill.) A discussion of how the script was sold, the casting process (Jack Lemon as Butch, Paul Newman as Sundance!), the making of the movie, and the original reaction (not so good, at least from critics.) Pretty much a typical DVD “making of” segment, somewhat hampered by the length of time between the actual events and the interviews and the lack of any behind-the-scenes film.\n“The Wild Bunch: The True Tale of Butch & Sundance” - A 25 minute new featurette on how much of the movie is actually true. Some Butch Cassidy (the man, not the movie) experts discuss scenes from the movie and how they compare to the truth (or at least what historians think actually happened.) Most of the scenes fall under the category of being based somewhat in fact or an actual event but having been adjusted for the movie.\n“1994 Interviews” - The title pretty much says it all. Apparently shot for the 25th anniversary of the movie but I don’t know if they were used for a VHS release or what. Newman, Redford, Goldman, and Ross are interviewed for about 10 minutes about their experience and remembrance. Composer Burt Bacharach’s interview lasts about 2 minutes and says very little. There is a brief section called “Maybe Some of What Follows is True,” where contradictory statements by the interviewees are spliced together so one person makes a statement about the filming and then the next person denies it is true. It’s entertaining, but short.\n“History Through the Lens: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: Outlaws Out of Time” - This is a 90 minute documentary from 2000 narrated by Burt Reynolds of all people. Not truly focused on the movie other than as a jumping off point for historians and others to talk about the true exploits of Butch and Sundance. This covers a lot of the same ground as “The Wild Bunch” featurette, but is a little more in-depth. It was clearly made to be shown on television, as there is the usual fade to black every 10 to 15 minutes or so.\n“Deleted Scene” - One three minute scene showing Butch, Sundance, and Etta in Bolivia watching a movie of their exploits. The dialogue track was lost so there are subtitles. Director Hill has an optional commentary where he explains why they shot the scene in the first place and why they dropped it.\n“The Films of Paul Newman” - Uhhhhh…..yeah. This is just a collection of eight trailers of Paul Newman movies. They don’t seem to have any rhyme or reason until you realize they are all Fox Studio movies. The worst kind of padding, but some of the trailers are pretty funny.\n“Production Notes” - These are still pictures of letters sent primarily from the producer and studio to the director and others about the budget and requests to make changes in the script or picture. Pretty interesting, but they couldn’t get entire document pages on one screen so it makes the process of reading an entire document a little laborious. My favorite recommendation was the request to add more sex to the movie, perhaps in Bolivia.\n“Alternate Credits Roll” - I can never have too many versions of the end credits of a movie, can you?\n“Theatrical Trailers” - This is just what it sounds like, three trailers shown in the theaters at the movie’s original release. One is three minute and the other two are a minute each. It’s interesting to see how trailers were made in the late 1960’s, which is also the one redeeming feature of the Paul Newman Trailers mentioned earlier.\nRelease Details\nRelease Date:\n2006-06-06\nVisit the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: The Ultimate Collector's Edition"}

Szanton has teamed up with Robert C. S. Monks to form a for-profit company, Maine Workforce Housing, that plans to build affordable housing throughout Maine. The company's first project is Casco Terrace, a 27-unit apartment building, on State Street in Portland, where the city's comprehensive plan cites the need for 5,000 units. The housing crisis in Portland is illustrated by the fact 42 percent of Portland households have annual salaries of less than $30,000, and 28 percent make less than $20,000, while a two-person household would have to earn $38,600 a year to afford the $965 monthly rent for the average two-bedroom apartment in the city. According to the Maine State Housing Authority, 56 percent of Maine households in 2002 couldn't afford the state's average rent of $782 per month, causing large segments of the population to become disenfranchised.

{"text": "- ISRAEL21c - -\nDr. Fischer, the man behind the brand\nPosted By Abigail Klein Leichman On March 12, 2013 @ 12:00 am In \| No Comments\nEli Fischer sits in a Tel Aviv café wiping his eyes with a disposable towelette. The unassuming 77-year-old head of Fischer Pharmaceuticals is demonstrating how to use the Israeli hygiene product that recently debuted in New York and soon will hit Los Angeles.\n“We sell over a million Dr. Fischer Eye-Care Cleansing Wipes in Israel every month, so we decided to start with this one item in New York to see how the branded product will do,” says Fischer, who for the past 10 years has sold eye-care and skin-care products in the United States and other countries under private labels for major pharmacy chains. Amazon and eBay also now carry his blue-and-white products.\nSpread the Word\n• Share this article on Facebook or Twitter\n• Write about and link to this article on your blog\n• Local relevancy? Send this article to your local press\nIn Israel, the Dr. Fischer logo is ubiquitous. Unlike Betty Crocker or Aunt Jemima, the name does not refer to a fictional marketing persona. Hence the title of his newly released autobiography, Dr. Fischer: The Man Behind the Logo.\nIt’s difficult to separate Fischer the man, from Fischer the business. After 47 years, the Czech-born pharmacist has become the face of 500 leading products from prescription eye drops to sunscreen. He has acquired 10 companies including the Israeli chain of Body Shop stores, which he has grown from 20 to 45.\nHe’s also a doting family man and a leading philanthropist with a special interest in promoting peace through the arts.\nFrom car mechanic to pharmacist\nOver a lasagna lunch, Fischer relates to ISRAEL21c that both his grandfather and father were physicians at a healing spa in the Sudetenland. Staying one step ahead of the coming Holocaust, the Fischer family landed in the Jaffa Port on March 15, 1939, just as Hitler’s forces were entering Prague.\nFischer claims he was a lackluster student who wanted to quit school and be a mechanic. But one year into high school, something clicked. Instead of working in a garage, Fischer earned a master’s degree in biochemistry and microbiology at the Hebrew University.\nAt 23 and newly married, Fischer found himself working as a teaching assistant to a Nobel Prize winner at Harvard before going on for his doctorate in pharmacy at the University of California-San Francisco.\nWhile there, in 1961, he helped develop Eppy, a revolutionary eye-drop product to treat glaucoma. “It was the drug of choice for several years, and now there are better ones,” he says modestly.\nReturning to Israel, Fischer joined Assia, one of the forerunners of Teva Pharmaceuticals.\n“After 10 months, I wanted to leave because I’m an individualist and I don’t like being told what to do,” he says. “I wanted to start my own lab with a friend.”\nFirst, he spent a year back in California learning every aspect of pharmaceutical production at Barnes-Hind, a maker of contact lenses and solutions. In 1963 he joined the company’s board, and returned to Israel with $5,000 in seed money to start his own business.\nFischer and his wife, Dvora, rented a factory in Bnai Brak, near Tel Aviv. And so Fischer Pharmaceuticals was born.\n“We started with two products — one for eyes and one for skin. Most of the week, I went out selling it at doctors’ offices. My wife was chief accountant, but there were no accounts for nearly two years,” he recalls.\nThe slow road to success was strewn with setbacks and crises, as in many new businesses. Today the company employs more than 700 people of all races and religions at its two Israeli facilities, and provides income for about 300 ancillary support staff from printers to drivers to electricians.\n“We export to 30 countries,” says Fischer. “Every day, we send two 40-foot containers from the Haifa Port to the US and two to Europe.”\nAll eyes on the US\nThe Israeli popularity of Fischer’s sterilized eye-cleansing wipes made this product a natural for the brand’s US debut.\nA sales force was hired to meet with New York-area ophthalmologists, pediatricians and pharmacists, because the product is sold mostly through doctor recommendation and only in pharmacies.\n“We will see after one year how we do. After seven months, we already knew it was time to spread to LA,” he says. “I hope to be there by April.”\nHis goal is not only to sell more wipes, but to start a whole new trend. “I’m trying to teach a new concept: daily eye hygiene as preventative medicine,” he says. “You do it after you brush your teeth, and it just takes a second.”\nThough two of the three Fischer daughters now run the business day to day — freeing their father for press interviews and trips to the US to manage the new operation there — the man behind the logo is involved in all research and marketing decisions and in many charitable endeavors.\nArt for Peace\n“My late wife and I were always involved in volunteering,” he says. One of his pet charitable projects is the Dr. Fischer Art for Peace Foundation.\n“In 1979, when the peace treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt and a stamp was issued to commemorate this event, we took first-day issue envelopes and asked artists to paint on them on the subject of peace. We made an exhibit from this. We repeated it in 1994 after the peace treaty with Jordan.”\n“Artists: Messengers of Peace” has traveled to major cities including New York, Washington, Paris, London, Tokyo and just recently Prague, under the curatorship of Israeli artist Doron Polak and with the backing of Israel’s Foreign Ministry.\nA hardcover book of the images made its way to then-President Ezer Weizman, to Jordanian King Hussein, to former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger – “everyone we thought can help bring peace,” says Fischer. “Now I am not as optimistic as I was then.”\nA related project, “Children of the World Paint Peace,” resulted in 1,500 entries. Many of them were later donated to brighten up Israeli pediatric wards.\nAfter Dvora Fischer died in 2006, Fischer rented exhibition space in her name at Tel Aviv’s ZOA House, and mounts a new show there every two months. Participating artists are required to donate half their sales profits to social causes such as schools for autistic children and shelters for battered women.\nFirst and foremost, Fischer is a proud father and grandfather. He hosts his daughters Dafna, Sigal and Nurit and their husbands and children at his home every Friday.\n“You should of course take care of your family,” he writes in his autobiography, “but do not close your eyes to those who need help, to the weak people in society, the poor and underprivileged. This should be an integral part of your life and business activity and should not be considered philanthropy.”\nArticle printed from ISRAEL21c:\nURL to article:"}

{"text": "Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nActiveCampaign stands among the very best marketing automation tools in the market. Although it’s not as complete as our Editors’ Choice tools Pardot and HubSpot ( 50. Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty.00 Each Month at HubSpot), ActiveCampaign, is more than enough to help most companies achieve fundamental and mildly complex goals. The tool provides dozens of pre-built workflows that can be personalized to match your specific needs.\nThe tool is drag and drop at every stage, so you’re never ever bogged down in endless scrolls through lots and lots design template. For instance: You can create emails directly within your workflow without needing to hop backward and forward between the automation and e-mail campaign control panels. This sounds basic, but we discovered that half of the tools we evaluated lacked this back function.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nThe tool’s Split Action feature lets you A/B test for whatever: emails, wait times, SMS versus e-mail, or any sort of custom action you’ve developed within the tool. Divide Action also lets you distinguish the types of offers individuals receive based upon when they go into the workflow; this is a good way to reward early birds during time-sensitive promos.\nSo, for example, if someone makes a purchase during the very first phase of a nurturing campaign, you can integrate the Goals tag to skip the contact to the upsell or resell stage of a workflow. Attaining a goal is among the start triggers ActiveCampaign provides, so you can instantly add someone lineup once they’ve registered for a deal. You can appoint contacts to particular sales individuals. You can include relationship-driven jobs, or notes, so that you’re continuously in interaction from marketing to sales.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nSadly, ActiveCampaign is still behind the industry’s frontrunners in terms of its ability to post content to social networks, and to work within the tool to perform search marketing research, and to use search marketing information to enhance campaigns (something Pardot carries out in a genius fashion). ActiveCampaign does not offer an iOS or Android app, which is totally inappropriate.\nActiveCampaign provides a lot of features for a reasonably low rate. The disadvantage is that it can be puzzling to utilize sometimes; fortunately, its aid resources are numerous, and if you’re really lost you can open a live chat with assistance. With a myriad of third-party combinations and customized auto-responders, many users will be pleased with its offerings.\nMany third-party integrations and auto-responder alternatives. Excellent online support. Comparatively brief complimentary trial. No phone support. Busy control panel. ActiveCampaign uses a great deal of marketing functions, which results in a chaotic user interface, though that’s stabilized by its high quality online assistance.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\n2019– 08:18 pm After years of research, a number of years ago I changed from MailChimp to ActiveCampaign. Why do I like ActiveCampaign a lot? I have actually already done my MailChimp vs. ActiveCampaign contrast. Now it’s time to do an ActiveCampaign evaluation. This review is likewise available as a video, and on your favorite e-reader.\nIf you utilize my link, you get this totally free business.\nMy character is such that I wish to dream up the proper way to do my email marketing, and then I wish to construct exactly that. I can constantly do that with ActiveCampaign. I personally struggle being restricted by a tool. But some individuals are good at that. MailChimp was incredibly limited, and that didn’t fit me and my business.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nThis is since contractor, I remained in love. Numerous other services have visual editors now, and I’m unsure which ones were merely following ActiveCampaign’s lead.\nYou’re probably doing e-mail marketing due to the fact that you have some objective you desire to meet your potential customers. With ActiveCampaign, you can track the success of your efforts with goal tracking. Since you can do almost anything with ActiveCampaign, your goal can be just about anything– whether that’s signing up for a webinar, or purchasing a product. favorite ActiveCampaign function. You can develop a library of plain text or HTML snippets that you can then recycle throughout your projects.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nActiveCampaign has the very best deliverability in business. This wasn’t easily obvious to me. I do think MailChimp had good deliverability, and I once had a deliverability problem with ActiveCampaign (that support rapidly straightened for me). But according to a current report by Email Tool Tester, ActiveCampaign leads the market with a 97% deliverability rate.\nActiveCampaign has advanced tiers of service. Changing e-mail marketing platforms is a pain, so you dislike to need to change just bothered me about ActiveCampaign: Clunky e-mail modifying experience. I got spoiled with MailChimp’s e-mail editor. It’s the most convenient to use. ActiveCampaign’s e-mail editor has some unusual quirks that slow me down. Cumbersome to modify numerous e-mails in an automation.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nConvertKit is the best at this experience. You have to construct whatever from scratch. Lots of e-mail marketing platforms have shortcuts for doing certain things, such as determining non-active contacts, adjusting granular membership preferences, or providing lead magnets. However on ActiveCampaign, you have drastically, however I still occasionally experience slow performance, primarily in viewing reports. The functions can be frustrating. Because you can do anything with ActiveCampaign, there are a lot of features to arrange through.\nIf you aren’t willing to put in time to learn the ins and outs of ActiveCampaign, you might be much better off with a more simple platform, such as MailChimp, and even ConvertKit is more simple. Now that I have the standard details out of the way, let me tell you about my perspective.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nI’m an author and podcaster. I develop my list with lead magnets and e-mail courses, and I regularly send out original material. I never purchase nor sell emails. I offer online courses. In addition to my books, I offer online courses direct to my audience. My payment processor is SendOwl, and ActiveCampaign integrates with them perfectly.\nI typically sell my courses by means of live and evergreen webinars (Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty). My webinar platform is WebinarJam, and ActiveCampaign once again incorporates with them magnificently. I do occasional affiliate marketing. Some email marketing platforms frown upon affiliate marketing if you’re doing it really greatly. I do just occasional affiliate marketing, and I have not had any problems with ActiveCampaign.\nActiveCampaign has actually always been built to have automations. This is a contrast to some of the initial email marketing platforms that have been around for much longer, such as MailChimp and AWeber. AWeber and MailChimp both have automations, however they are limited (Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty). Limited automations was one of the primary factors I switched from MailChimp to ActiveCampaign.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nAutomations allow you to automatically send out emails to contacts based upon a range of aspects, such as when they signed up, and just how much they are engaging with your e-mails. Let’s take an appearance at some of the building blocks of ActiveCampaign’s automations. ActiveCampaign has a substantial library full of automation “recipes (Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty).” ActiveCampaign has a library filled with pre-built automations.\nTo start developing an automation in ActiveCampaign, start with a “trigger.” There are a number of methods you can trigger an automation, consisting of: When a tag is added When a contact subscribes to a list When a contact submits a form E-commerce and on-site choices (offered in the “Pro” strategy) When the contact reaches a certain point in another automation.\nFrom there, you can begin developing the actions in your automation. Active Campaign 5 Year Warranty. Some actions that are available in ActiveCampaign’s automations are: Send an e-mail Alert an employee Wait conditions If/then conditionals Split traffic for screening Avoid website messages, and Facebook Custom-made Audience management are all “Pro” features.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nContrast with ConvertKit’s Automations, which are more minimal. On ConvertKit, you can trigger an automation when: The contact submits a type The contact makes a purchase A tag is included to the contact A customized field is upgraded with a specific value From there, you can create Conditions, to inspect whether the contact has a specific tag or custom-made field worth.\nYou can also develop Events, which are a bit like ActiveCampaign’s Goals, however without the reporting. You can track an Occasion when: A tag is added or gotten rid of The contact makes a purchase A date happens A custom field is upgraded with a particular worth You don’t develop e-mails in ConvertKit’s Automations.\nFor more on how ActiveCampaign compares to ConvertKit, read my ConvertKit vs ActiveCampaign comparison. The main method I develop my list is through an e-mail course. ActiveCampaign makes it easy for me to build my e-mail course precisely how I ‘d like to build it. Many online marketers build very easy email series for their “email courses.” A contact signs up, and then that contact right away starts getting lessons.\nActive Campaign 5 Year Warranty\nIt was simple to construct with ActiveCampaign, but approach, I was on MailChimp.\nHere’s the automation I use to invite new trainees."}

Sorry, Mom.)\n...and finally...\n5. I should be cool with changing my desktop image because my life doesn't need to revolve around my children.\n(Gasp. There. I said it.)\n::\nFriends.\nI'm a firm believer that there is a fine line between smothering and mothering.\nYes, I technically gave them life, but does that mean they need to be my life?\nMy answer: no.\n::\nYes. I love my children.\nYes, I hope that they're generally content.\nYes. I absolutely want them to be healthy physically and emotionally and I'll do my best to uphold this wish.\nYup - I feed them, clothe them, 'learn 'em, listen to them (incessantly), pick up after them, play with them, read with them, sit with them, correct them and do their laundry. (We do so much more than that, though - right parents?)\nDo I really need to have them on my computer, too?\nThis is a bigger issue, though.\nOur children matter. They're huge parts of our lives. Obvs.\nBeyonce is amazing, the sky is blue and kids are important. These are facts.\nBUT... my life isn't my kids.\nNope.\nI'm Kylee.\nI'm me. These two lovely ladies are here on loan to me and I get them for a short time before they are off on their way to change the world, or, live in it.\nI refuse to over-schedule them.\nThey require boredom.\nThe best ideas come from boredom.\nI refuse to take them to every, single, birthday party that they're invited to. (The other week there was a party on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Hold the phone. Nope. Pick one. Two if I'm feeling generous.)\nJust like I need downtime, they need downtime.\nJust like I want to look at a pretty photo on my computer screen that is NOT my children, they want to have a few minutes without running to the next activity.\nNow, some parents are of the ilk that the more activities their kiddos participate in, the more well-rounded they'll be. And, some believe that their kids need that kind of stimulation or else they have way too much energy. Some over-schedule their kids because that means they have to parent them less. (Yep, I also said that. I don't blame them. I've met some jerk-kids.)\nAll not for me to worry about.\nTo each her own.\nOur motivations need to be in check, though.\nIf we are carting our kid to baseball six times a week for hours at a time, do it because you love it. Not because you're expecting your child to thank you one day for it.\n::\nWherever you are, whatever you're doing -- keep at it.\nI have the ultimate confidence that at some point all of our kids are going to think we made the wrong parenting decisions. However, I'm also confident that they'll change their minds when it's 1 am and they're rocking their first baby.\nIn the fog of parenthood, as they're shifting into that space when the world REVOLVES around that little human, they'll realize that we did the best we could with what we had.\nThey'll realize that we love them so much that it physically pains us.\nThey'll realize that no screensaver, no background on a phone, no driving to gymnastics or dance class could ever communicate the impact that they've made on our hearts.\nLove you, Lila and Vivi.\n::\nxo,\nky\n::\nIf you enjoyed this post... please share it wherever you feel like it may help. In an email to a friend, on social media, with your sister, your co-worker or your friend. And if you have a blog, I'd love to read it - please share it with me. Thank you, from my corner of the world to yours.\nMy background is NOT my children on my computer, phone, or iPad. Gasp. I’m a terrible mother."}
{"text": " crowds gathered a half decade ago to glimpse the two world leaders and their entourages. The Glassboro Summit made global headlines as an initial good faith effort to build trust between two superpowers on the brink of war. Although reports of the day hypothesized that the summit would have less than a 20 percent chance of a positive outcome, the two-day conversation is ultimately credited as the first thaw in the Cold War.\nGiven the task to educate and entertain visitors to the historic site, the theatre and dance faculty have devised a highly interactive, innovative, game-based performance designed to engage audience members in a constructed debate of the primary issues under consideration during the 1967 summit, including: establishing the general terms of on-going communication, nuclear arms reduction, joint cooperation on ending the Vietnam War, and avoiding a brewing Arab-Israeli war. Student actors well-versed in the social, political, and historic context of the summit will entice teams of participants to negotiate within a highly regulated and theatrical set of ground rules.\nAssociate Dean of the College of Performing Arts at Rowan, Melanie Stewart, and the current Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance, Elisabeth Hostetter, co-direct the production, which was written and structured by local playwright Brian Grace-Duff. Current theatre majors Charles Barney, Shannon Harkins, Molly Jo Gifford, Robert Mora, and Kylie Westerbeck will artfully guide volunteer groups representing the interests of the U.S., the Soviet Union, and selected allied nations. The performance is part of a series of special events and presentations taking place in 2017 at Rowan University commemorating the historic summit.

{"text": "P.O.D. and Alien Ant Farm are both bands that exploded in popularity and saw a lot of radio play in the early 00’s, an age when the M in MTV still stood for “music”. You still hear some of their most popular singles playing now and then but no new music, leaving a lot of people thinking they simply had vanished into oblivion… but it turns out both bands have been releasing new music and touring over the years.\nThis all-American lineup started off with ‘68. When I saw them in London as an opening act for Every Time I Die back in 2016 they became one of my favourite bands to see live. If you’ve never seen them on stage or heard their music before, then you probably don’t expect much knowing it’s only 2 people, but the moment they hit the first note it’s like a gut punch, it hits you hard. They play raw and unfiltered rock music, it’s all about the harsh vocals, heavy riffs and pounding drums. What makes it all work so well is the chemistry between singer and guitarist Josh and drummer Niko. They feed off the energy of each other making it almost feel like they are just jamming and having fun without much of a plan… and it’s just epic.\nAlien Ant Farm took the stage with an immediate reaction from the crowd. They played a good mix of the songs we all know and could sing along to as well as lesser known songs that the fans love. They started easy and built up excitement as the show progressed, with the best moments being when they played songs from the album Anthology such as “Movies” and “Wish”. Dryden Mitchell’s voice was on point the whole time, singing every note flawlessly with a little help from the audience on those more memorable choruses.\nThere were some slightly cringey moments of banter in between the songs, but it’s nothing that fans of the band wouldn’t be expecting. The show ended of course with the one song that made them famous, the cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”, with the crowd jumping around and singing every word of it while being coated in confetti.\nThere were a couple of moments in the evening when homage was paid to Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. They were one of the bands that was sharing the top end of the charts with Alien Ant Farm and P.O.D. in the early 00’s and his death shocked many. Just before P.O.D. took the stage, “In The End” by Linkin Park was played and the whole venue sang it in unison. This was a beautiful thing to witness and it’s what concerts are all about.\nP.O.D. had a strong start with “Boom” and the message was clear, this was going to be a party. With a recently released album to show off, the band played a few songs that some people might not have been very familiar with, but all the classics were still there. The band showed a lot of energy with singer Sonny Sandoval moving and jumping around from start to finish. The mosh pits started forming early and stayed strong right until the end and in the more popular songs the crowd could be heard singing the choruses loud and proud. The highlights came with the song “Satellite” from the album of the same name as well as, expectedly, the song “Youth Of The Nation” from the same album, seeing the crowd sing along even louder than before.\nThis was a show that brought back memories for many who were in their teens or early 20’s when these bands were highly popular. While the show might have slightly banked on nostalgia, it was still a great night in its own right and all the bands provided a good time. It was the kind of show that puts a smile on your face.\nPhotos by Luis Rodrigues\nP.O.D.

{"text": "Hi again and welcome to the next exciting instalment in the series that pays tribute to the consultant “get out of jail free” card that is the organisational “leave form”. My experience of SharePoint implementations may be somewhat skewed by regional and/or cultural bias of course, but many SharePoint installations tend to follow a script of something like\nMe sarcastic? never!\nNote: I was recently certified as a Microsoft Certified Trainer for SharePoint, and I am using this series as practice for my training material! Thus this entire series of articles is pitched at a very high (end user) level. Readers with some exposure to SharePoint may find this article from the series is particularly easy-going, but rest assured, by the time I am done, I will be delving into web services, code and all sorts of goodies. Writing that stuff for the non developer will be a challenge - so stay with me, I will slowly ramp up the concepts as we go on.\nSo to recap the introductory article, we have documented the leave application and approval process for the Springfield nuclear power plant, and they have kindly supplied us with their existing leave form that their employees print out and fill in by hand. So our very first job is to see how InfoPath handles importing this MSWord based form to InfoPath.\nEven though InfoPath is part of MSOffice, many people do not know about it, let alone used it. If you have never seen InfoPath before now, then I suggest you do some reading about it and maybe even download the evaluation. My one sentence explanation is that it allows you to create electronic forms for data entry or data collection. Among its features is that it can import Word or Excel documents to speed up the form creation process. So let’s do that first up.\nUpon starting up InfoPath 2007 we are presented with a “Getting Started” wizard. Our job is to design a new form, so the option to choose is to Design a Form Template as marked in the screen-grab below.\nThe next screen is to choose various options in relation to designing a form. We are starting from a completely blank form (which is the default option anyway), but this form is going to web browser based, so that people filling it in do not need InfoPath installed on their PC’s. SharePoint enterprise edition provides support for browser based forms via the “Forms Services” feature. InfoPath 2007 has built-in support for forms services, but the form must be marked as “browser compatible”.\nThis is not a default setting, so be sure to check the “Enable browser-compatible features only” box before clicking the OK button.\nNow we are at the main form designer screen within InfoPath. Being part of the MSOffice suite, it has a set of toolbars that looks very much like the other applications in the MSOffice suite. To the right of the InfoPath screen is the “design tasks” tool pane. I’ve shown it below.\nYou will come to know the “design tasks” pane very well soon enough. From here we can perform all sorts of actions to construct a new electronic form such as create textboxes, buttons, drop down lists and the like. Not only that, but we can instruct InfoPath to connect to “data sources” to populate the values in say, a drop down list box. Imagine for example that all of your clients are listed in your CRM system. InfoPath has the capability to access those client details and display them on the form. Think of the data entry duplication that this will save, not to mention the maintenance of data accuracy, eh?\nBut hey, we are here to impress the clients with our technical wizardry and to show how InfoPath allows non-developers to create sophisticated electronic forms. So what we will do first-up is import the existing MSWord based leave document and see what we get out of the box.\nSo, you should be at the main InfoPath screen to perform this action. From the “File” menu, choose “Import Form”. On the next screen, choose “InfoPath importer for Word documents” and click “next”\nYou will be prompted to browse to a file to import. In this example, I have chosen the “springfieldleaveform.doc”. The “options” button allows you to control the specifics of the import process. In this example, I will simply import the form with all of the default import settings.\nClick “Finish” and InfoPath will do its thing - viola! We have the beginnings of a leave form!\nAh, but wait, what happened to the graphics? The original MSWord form had two pictures in the header of the document - a 3-eyed fish and a picture of the towers. It turns out it seems, that graphics in the header or footer of an MSWord document do not get imported into InfoPath. Bummer - I really liked that 3-eyed fish!\nBut fear not, importing graphics is as easy as a cut and paste. If I open my original word version of the form, I can double click near the top of the document, and the header/footer will now be available to edit as shown below.\nNow you can click to highlight both images and they will paste into InfoPath. Not exactly earth shattering, is it?\nOkay, so it wasn’t a perfect import. In fact I’d give it about a 6 out of 10. But the point is we have our images and our text inside InfoPath. Also to be fair, MSWord files were not designed for the web either, so it is unsurprising that it wasn’t flawless.\nSo, now we can use the native features of Infopath to tidy up this form. First, we will tidy up the arrangement of the two images, and then we will add some graphical elements like textboxes and option buttons to allow the form to be electronically filled in. We will create a table on the form that looks like this\nIn the right-hand “design task” bar, we select “Layout” and then choose to create a “custom table”. Choose a 2*2 table and you should see the table as shown in the third image below (look above the fish graphic).\nThe next step is to format the table correctly. Highlight the two rightmost cells, right click on them and choose “merge cells”. The result should be a table looking like the rightmost image below.\nNow drag and drop the three-eye fish to the leftmost cell and the plant picture to the rightmost cell of the top row of the table. Your result should look something like this.\nNow highlight the remaining title text, and then cut and paste it into the empty bottom left cell . Aha! We are starting to look better! A bit of resizing of the table cells width and it is looking more like the original.\nOkay, sorry that is very much a rhetorical question, I know. I haven’t exactly written the most technically complex article ever.\nBut at least we have gotten the InfoPath version of the form to look much more like the MSWord version. If I had been running that as a client demonstration, it all in all would be around 2-3 minutes work. Is the client blown away in amazement and opening the chequebook yet?\nNot exactly, but we haven’t gotten to the good stuff yet. In part 3, we will add some textboxes and other graphical elements (called “controls”) to the form, and then we will do some smart things to reduce manual data entry, as well as ensure that the data that we have collected is accurate.\nBye for now"}
