{"text": "As each day passes, we are getting closer to Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, December 19, 2020. Our wreath count continues to grow, we currently have over 1,000 wreaths sponsored. While that number isn’t where we would like it to be, considering all the restrictions this year, we are doing well.\nDue to the restrictions being placed upon the cemetery due to COVID-19, this year’s Wreaths Across America event will look very different than we are accustomed to. There will not be a traditional ceremony, guest speaker, etc.\nOnly 50 people will be allowed in the cemetery at a time. Masks must be worn while inside the cemetery, and individuals/groups that do not live together shall follow social distancing guidelines. Regardless of your personal opinions about the restrictions, these are the guidelines that we must follow in order to still be allowed to place wreaths. I ask each of you to work with us to make this event as memorable as any other year.\nOne of the methods that we are adjusting to the requirements that we have to work around is a signup sheet for volunteers. Volunteers that want to place wreaths need to sign up via the Wreaths Across America website. Please only sign up for the number of spaces needed for your group and only sign up for one session. Each session will last 30 minutes. Each person will be given a set number of wreaths to place, this number will be determined by how many wreaths are sponsored and how many volunteers sign up.\nFor volunteers that have family or loved ones interred at the New Bern National Cemetery, please do not sign up for a slot, reply to this email and I will arrange for you to attend the 9:00am session.\nVolunteers can sign up here: wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/16691/Overview/?relatedId=0\nPlease help us spread the word about the sign up process. This information will also be distributed via the WAA message system (to previous donors) and our Facebook page, Wreaths Across America-New Bern.\nBy Kevin Yates, Location Coordinator, Wreaths Across America – New Bern"}

{"text": "Mary’s Magnificat – spoken and sung\n-\n- font size decrease font size increase font size\n- Published in News Stories\n- Read 1854 times\nAfter Mary’s angelic visit, to then Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, there’s this great prayer in Luke 1, which is an overflow of Mary’s heart. It’s so poetic, with flavours of God’s justice from Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel, and possibly a nod to David’s wonderment at God from Psalm 8? Mary’s words are a celebration of the ever-faithful God throughout the ages and Mary declares these words with a knowingness that she was going to give birth to the greatest gift.\nBut this humble teenager’s journey was far from straightforward. The journey to Bethlehem, the birth in what would probably be our equivalent to a garage (not the converted kind). Then there’s the escape to Egypt, just to evade Herod’s death grip on Jesus. I’m sure it must have been traumatic, yet somehow Mary remained obedient to God throughout it all.\n“It made me wonder…these words that Mary riffed off during her pregnancy in Luke 1, was it a one-time deal or did she speak them at other moments too? Like at Jesus’ birth? Or her escape from Herod? Could she have pondered those words in her heart as they landed safely in Egypt? And as Mary reflected on her journey – did she continue to speak them out? Or further still, sing them?”\nThis Christmas – Dai takes a back seat as his wife Cath ‘epic lungs’ Woolridge takes on the role of Mary. In fact, this video’s a big team effort. From Matt Richley who wrote Mary’s song, to producer Abigail Orr, then Joe and Andy of 2v Studios. Spoken-Truth has also teamed up with Bible Society and Elevation to bring this free resource to as many as possible.\nThis is the Christmas journey in a 21st century setting. This is both a song and a story.\nWatch, Download, share, enjoy."}

{"text": "Hurricane Sandy Is About to Blow Our Way: Wage & Hour Implications for Employers\nBy: Kara M. Maciel\nHurricane Sandy is approaching this weekend, so employers along the East Coast should refresh themselves on the wage and hour issues arising from the possibility of missed work days in the wake of the storm.\nA few brief points that all employers should be mindful of under the FLSA:\n- A non-exempt employee generally does not have to be paid for weather-related absences. An employer may allow (or require) non-exempt employees to use vacation or personal leave days for such absences. But, if the employer has a collective bargaining agreement or handbook policies, the employer may obligate itself to pay through such policies.\n- An exempt employee generally must be paid for absences caused by office closures due to weather, if he/she performs work in that week. The Department of Labor has stated that an employer may not dock a salaried employee for full days when the business is closed because of weather. Partial day deductions for weather related absences are not permitted.\n- If certain employees are required to be on-call (such as public safety, IT, or other essential personnel) during the storm, and the employee cannot use the time effectively for his or her own purpose, the on-call time is compensable and the employee must be paid. However, if the employee is simply at home and available to be reached by company officials, then the time is not working time and an employer does not have to pay for that time.\nPolicies and procedures to keep in place:\n- Decide whether your company will offer “weather days” for non-exempt workers who are absent because of disasters.\n- Ensure that your payroll systems are prepared for employees working from home, longer shifts, or not taking lunches.\n- Decide whether employees absent because of weather will be allowed / required to use vacation or PTO time.\n- Ensure safety of payroll records and ability to process payroll from alternate location if needed.\nNatural disasters pose a myriad of employment and HR issues from wage-hour to FMLA leave and the WARN Act. The best protection is to have a plan in place in advance to ensure your employees are paid and well taken care of during a difficult time. Our reference tool contains answers to common questions, and while aimed at employers in the Gulf Coast, if you have operations anywhere along the East Coast, you should find it helpful."}

{"text": "Christopher Bailey has figured out the one thing he has to do above all else at Burberry: Keep the trench hot, of course. He did exactly that from the first exit: a rumpled, classic old mac that was luxed up with bands of fox at the hem and cuff. That set the template for a collection he said was based on photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; the show had a couture-ish kind of sensibility, lightened up with, as he put it, \"that sloppy way of wearing things only young British girls have. Sloppy is good.\"\nIn the country, Wallis Simpson might've worn English checks, so Bailey set about fashioning double-breasted coat dresses with deep pockets, worn with nutty cable-knit hats. Thinking more about the Duchess' extended sojourn in Paris, perhaps, he came up with wool trenches smothered in mink from belt to hem, as well as skimpily delicate ecru and black chantilly lace versions for a notional dinner at Maxim's. He also brought in a lot of Burberry in-house symbolism along the way, making classic country jacket quilting jump from bags to leather jackets to velvet evening coats, and using the leather-covered D-ring of the raincoat belt on cylindrical-heel pumps and bags. The gold-link bracelets and the new oversize sunglass frames offered more evidence of Burberry's burgeoning product lines.\nClassic with playful, casual with dressy, young with grown-upthat made for another season well done as Bailey hurried backstage to say \"Hello, mate\" to Kate Moss in front of an avalanche of photographers. It's not unimpressive, what he's achieving here. That such a whippersnapper has been able to turn the frumpy old country lady's Burberry into a fashionable thing for the first time in its 150 years is in fact something of a cause for national pride in Britain. And it's that new energy as much as the milestone itself that the brand is celebrating this year.\nStyle Map\nDaily Dispatches From The Global Scene"}

{"text": "The new state report cards are out. If you live in an inner ring suburb this brings a similar measure of dread as having a root canal or finding out that you have water pouring through the kitchen ceiling. These state testing metrics are highly flawed and always tend to favor schools with higher income families and low diversity. We can take some comfort in the fact that this newest round is so flawed that, according to Cleveland.com, “the Ohio Education Association, one of Ohio’s two largest teachers unions, said people should view the grades with ‘considerable caution.’ OEA President Becky Higgins reminded people that the scores are based on tests from PARCC, the multi-state testing consortium that Ohio fired in July.”\nNonetheless, our SEL Schools received “A” grades for value added, gifted value added, and special needs value added, and an overall grade of C, which according to an article that ran today in Cleveland.com, is now the most common grade received, with the number of districts receiving “A” grades dropping from 37 to 6.\nThe metrics used for state report cards falls far short of telling the whole story of a school district. Yet school rankings, no matter how flawed, will be touted by media outlets, tweeted, posted on Facebook pages, and spread like the plague across the region, creating winners and losers, and sealing the fate of communities. The internet trolls will be at it again, tearing down diverse schools and making cringe-worthy comments.\nThe real story can’t be found in a score. It’s told through the stories of the families, students, and teachers that make up a district. We plan to keep telling them.\n2 thoughts on “Who’s Keeping Score?”\nLike the article and agree that it’s not possible to measure all elements of useful education by universal metrics. As an active member in the local Historical Society I’m perturbed that local history gets left of the “teaching to the test” mentality mandated by trying to get better grades on these imbalanced report cards.\nI was surprised and disappointed to see a Jet Blue airline ad at the bottom of the article and learned we get these ads because it’s hosted on a “free” WordPress site and question whether paying for the site would be prohibitively expensive to not have ads here.\nBob:\nSince this blog is a self-funded venture, we had to use a free platform to keep costs down. We are planning to do some fundraising outreach although we were sadly turned down by the Legacy Village Community Fund. We agree that our local history would certainly enrich our history curriculum. Thanks for all your do to promote the rich history of our community."}

{"text": "Vehicles are every individual’s dream it can be a car, bike, van etc. You can buy these vehicles from any sale or even companies near to your city. There are different brands of vehicles that increase their quality and speed. The cost of a vehicle depends on the brand type you are buying.\nIt can’t be effectively done as well; there are a ton of contentions that an individual can feel and face before achieving the fantasy since they should have what it takes and lawful strategy which has given them the privilege from the legislature to ride a vehicle anyplace in the nation. Everybody longs for an auto which they need to get one fine day and gladly drive around the city. It can be to shop with your companions, have street outings and at times it’s everybody’s craving to possess their vehicle for individual utilize.\nBefore the purchase of the vehicle you must always be ready with a license that qualifies you in using the car, this is done easily with the help of a driving school Logan. This place teaches you theory and also practical’s based trials to let you learn and understand how to ride a vehicle and the rules and regulations the country has put up to the society and if you breach them you are most likely to end up going in jail or pay a fine for breaking the law.\nTherefore, you must always pay attention in the driving lessons they keep at this institution and get the knowledge of riding your vehicle perfectly. There are two categories the vehicle works in and you must learn before that is manual and auto, most majority buy an auto vehicle since it is easy to use and learn but, manual is hard so many people don’t pressurize themselves in learning this but if you learn this you can do the both way easily and ride any vehicle.\nThere are many institutions in your city you can find through the internet or even to the nearest of your city. You must not get yourself fooled for fake and bad institutions that you can’t trust. Because these places tend to just take money from you and get you failed in the exam and do it over again. So always get advice from the experts and make yourself stress free for these kinds of situations. You get in touch with them and become more acquainted with how their address calendars and expense structure is being offered to understudies and grown-ups."}

{"text": "It’s no secret that going green is the future. Whether it becomes a way of life or a way to conduct business, living a sustainable life is fast becoming a must and it can be as simple as making an informed choice. Although sustainability is not always coupled with affordability there are some businesses in Canada that are doing their utmost to be the change that our planet so desperately needs. In fact, the Canadian government itself is providing options to business immigration to Canada for companies with funding through various programs and initiatives to help spark the green light on implementing more innovative ways to create and maintain sustainable business practices and environments.\nIn this article, we take a look at Canada’s top business industries that are striving to make Canada green again and how the Canadian government is supporting them. So let's take a closer look at some of the top sustainable Canadian business immigration opportunities and how we can help you immigrate to Canada.\nHow Going Green Can Boost Your Business Opportunities in Canada\nCanada is committed to creating a low-emission economy, by implementing and developing various innovations and clean technology. Canada currently has over 850 clean technology (cleantech) companies, of which 12 Canadian companies currently feature on the Global 100 Cleantech list. Below are some of the top ways that the Canadian government is encouraging business immigration to Canada and promoting the use of green or cleantech initiatives through government funding programs.\nWhat is Cleantech?\nCleantech is any development aimed at decreasing carbon emissions and pollution as well as increasing the efficiency of resources. Canada has various government initiatives designed to promote sustainability in businesses. Here are the top ways that Canada is supporting green initiatives in some of Canada’s top industries.\n1. How Renewable Energy is Igniting a Green Spark\nCanada is the second-largest producer of hydroelectricity globally, receiving 67% of its electricity and 17.3% of its energy from renewable sources such as hydro, solid biomass and wind. Its natural resource industry has created over 1.7 million jobs in Canada and is continually working toward developing new methods of using these resources in sustainable ways especially in the oil and gas, minerals and metals and forest industries.\nOntario based company, Trojan UV, are leaders in the development of water treatment solutions. British Columbia is a leader in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, of which 90% is exported. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia are all leaders in innovation in the natural resource sector. Nova Scotian company, CarbonCure, is also doing its part to minimize waste by recycling carbon dioxide to produce high-quality concrete.\nCanada’s Strategic Innovation Fund gives businesses the break that they need to turn their innovative ideas into reality by providing financial support to businesses with large projects (over $10 million) aimed at helping to grow the economy and create jobs in Canada through innovation.\n2. How Innovation is Helping Grow Canada’s Agriculture & Agri-Food Sector\nCanada is the 7th largest food exporter globally with 6,900 businesses currently operating in the food and beverage sector providing around 2.3 million jobs in Canada. Canada is introducing innovation to farming by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) through facial recognition for livestock as well as AI-powered herbicide distribution systems and anonymous tractors. Popular provinces to set up your business venture in Canada including Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia, some of which have their own agricultural categories for business immigration to Canada.\nThe Canadian government offers support in the way of the NextGen Biofuels Fund(currently closed) and the Seed Fund, which offers to fund of up to $100,000 to cleantech entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of development. Other popular funding initiatives for those in the agricultural sector include:\n- Accelerated Investment Incentive - tax write off 100% spent on new clean energy manufacturing and processing equipment.\n- Protein Industries Supercluster - sustainable high-quality plant protein and plant-based co-products\n- Strategic Innovation Fund - general support innovation and development in technologies used in agriculture and agri-food value chains.\nFor more information on how to immigrate to Canada through its farming industry visit our blog here.\n3. How Technology & Advanced Manufacturing is Changing the Game\nCanada is also a leader in technology and advanced manufacturing, with over 41,500 companies creating 919,000 tech and 1.7 million manufacturing jobs in Canada. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa are all ranked in the top 20 cities for tech talent markets in North America, making Alberta and British Columbia top destinations for business ventures. Canada is currently at the forefront of software development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), system integration, machine vision and automation, 3D printing and cybersecurity. It also has the 12th largest vehicle and 5th largest chemical production in the world. What does this mean for you and your business? The sky’s the limit for business immigration to Canada. Funding is available for your technology or manufacturing business through:\n- The Advanced Manufacturing (NGen) Supercluster - fund innovation in cancer and rare disease treatment\n- Accelerated Investment Incentive\n- The Strategic Innovation Fund.\nFor more information about how to immigrate to Canada as a tech professional and the top scientific jobs in Canada visit our blog here.\n4. How Canada’s Fashion & Beauty Industry is Setting Sustainability Trends\nCanada may not be one of the fashion capitals of the world but it is surely at the forefront of innovation in sustainable fashion and beauty products, not to mention that some of these businesses are either immigrant-owned or are of immigrant descent! Companies such as AI, a sustainable fashion brand curating vegan bags are run by a mother and three daughters of Korean descent out of Toronto. Inuka is founded by a Canadian entrepreneur, Betsy Campos, who is of Brazilian descent and designs swimwear made entirely of recycled nylon yarn produced from industrial waste. Waste not want not we say, and who's to say you can’t look stylish doing it!\nFor more information on the top 5 business opportunities in Canada for immigrants, be sure to visit our blog here.\nWhat Are My Options for Business Immigration to Canada\nThere are 2 main business immigration options to bring your sustainable venture to Canada:\n1. Start-Up Visa\nThe most popular pathway to take through business immigration to Canada is the Start-up or Investor Visa Program. This Canadian immigration program aims to increase the number of jobs in Canada as well as find new innovative ways to do so and in turn, help boost the Canadian economy. There are basic business criteria that must be adhered to in order to qualify. This includes:\n- A letter of support from your designated organisation\n- Meet language requirements\n- Have sufficient settlement funds.\n2. Provincial Nominee Program - Entrepreneur Streams\nIf the Start-up Visa option is not right for your sustainable business, you could take a look at some options for business immigration to Canada under specific Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Almost all of Canada’s 11 provinces and territories have at least one or more business or entrepreneur streams. These streams are designed to help address the need for innovation in businesses that can help uplift the Canadian economy and create new jobs in Canada.\nReady to bring your sustainable business venture to Canada?

{"text": "Do like to admit. Let’s get you and your roof back on track by learning more about how often your roof needs to be inspected in the future!\nWhen Should You Get a Roof Inspection?\nRoof inspections are necessary at least once a year, but twice a year is ideal. Roof inspections are the most beneficial if they’re done in the fall and spring. This helps protect your roof in the fall, before harsh winter weather and check for any damage from the harsh weather once winter has passed. Your roof should also be inspected after any major storms, high winds, or if you notice signs of damage. Signs of damage may include moss growth, missing shingles, and poor temperature control inside the home. Excess moisture in the home, sunlight in the attic, water in the attic, and unwanted pests inside the home are all warning signs of roof damage too!\nCan You Do the Inspection Yourself?\nRoof inspections are the most effective when they’re performed by a licensed and experienced roofing contractor. Their knowledge and experience will make it easier to identify early warning signs of damage before it becomes a bigger issue. Hiring a professional for your roof inspections is also a wise safety choice since climbing a ladder and walking on the roof can be very dangerous if it’s done incorrectly.\nIf you are going to inspect your roof yourself, have a friend or family member assist in stabilizing the ladder. Bring a checklist of different areas on the roof to inspect and make a note of damage as you go. You can also inspect some areas of the roof from the inside of your attic! Go into the attic and look for sunlight coming through the roof. You can also go into the attic while it’s raining to check for any signs of a leak in the roof. Don’t forget to mark and note your findings so you can relay the information to a roof repair specialist.\nIf you’re in need of a roof inspection, repair, or replacement, we can help! Contact Doing It Right Roofing, Siding & Remodeling today to schedule a roofing consultation appointment. Our team has the tools, experience, and training to handle any issue your roof may have. Spring and summer are the best time to consult with a roofing contractor, so don’t wait to schedule your appointment!"}

Both have significantly more torque and reach their top speed faster than the neutron kit. How far will I get on a charge ? This is one of those “how long is a piece of string” type questions. The range is technically unlimited, afterall it’s still a bicycle that you can pedal under your own power. How far you’ll get depends on how heavy you are on the throttle and how much you pedal – if you just use it for assistance up hills, if you use it at a low level all the time to take some of the load off your legs or if you race around at full throttle the whole time riding it like an electric dirt bike. Range is also determined by how hard you motor is working otherwise, whether it’s a smooth flat path or a rocky steep offroad track. Tyres will also affect efficiency, thin, slick tyres pumped up hard will use less power than fat knobbies at low pressure or anything else inbetween. Rider weight is also a factor and naturally a 50kg lady is going to go further than a guy potentially more than double that weight. The speed winding of the the motor will also determine how much power you use to maintain a given speed. The faster you go the more power you’ll consume and so the less range you’ll get. If you keep the speed down to around 30-40km/hr you can get really good economy while still covering a good amount of ground. A total ball park figure for power consumption is around 20 watt hours/km. 15 whr/km if you’re keeping the speed down and pedaling a bit, 25whr/km if you’re having a bit of a thrash on the double track and a little north of that if you’re riding like a maniac. You can probably expect higher power consumption when you first get the bike as you’ll be zooming around everywhere grinning like an idiot Battery watt hours are determined by the voltage of the battery and the AH rating. The 12.5ah Hadron MkVI battery for example is around 950 whr so would get around 45km range How will I know what size battery I need ? Using the above as a guide you can gauge roughly what size battery you’ll need to get a desired range. The cycle analyst also lets you see exactly what is going on with power consumption in real time so if you look like you’re being a bit heavy handed you can back off a bit and ensure you make your destination without working up a sweat. Can the battery be made bigger later if I need it ? You can always buy an additional battery but unfortunately our batteries can’t be rebuilt. They are professionally constructed with study tab welding, gluing and structural reinforcement and these same things that make them strong and reliable also prevents any disassembly or reconfiguration. Like most EVs the battery in an ebike kit makes up a significant chunk of the price so you don’t want to be buying that twice if it can be avoided. If you have a specific range requirement (eg a commute to work) and you’re cutting it close you’re best to upsize the battery slightly to allow some wiggle room. Alternatively buying a second charger to recharge at work (or where ever) is a good option and cheaper than a battery upgrade. It also keeps the weight down as you’re not lugging any extra weight than you need. Should I discharge the battery all the way down before recharging ? No. Unlike some older battery chemistries that had a memory effect lithium ion isn’t like this and infact you will get significantly more cycles from the battery if you shallow discharge it. As a general rule of thumb it’s ideal to not discharge a battery past 80% capacity on a regular basis. It CAN do it of course but it will shorten the life of the battery. So for a 10ah battery this means ideally keeping it to around 8ah discharge. Or if you think you’ll need 10ah to get to work, go with a 12ah battery. What bikes are suitable for your conversion kits ? Most mountain bikes are suitable as long as they have a 135mm rear drop out. Most bikes ranging from those in cheap department stores to heavy duty downhill bikes and suitable however really hardcore downhill bikes with 150mm bolt through rear axles are not compatible without significant DIY modifications. While a $100 kmart bike is technically compatible with our kits it’s not advisable due to low quality components and frame construction that is potentially unsafe at high speeds. Disc brakes while not 100% necessary are highly recommended and if you’ve got cheap disc brakes upgrading the front ones (which do most of your hard braking) are a worthwhile investment. I have a $4000 bike and it has a 135mm drop out. Is it suitable for a conversion kit ? If it’s carbon fibre, sadly not. Carbon fibre is great for light weight strength but the drop outs are not designed for the torque these motors can produce. Steel frames are ideal but alloy frames are fine too at modest power levels. Steel torque arms are required for Hadron kits to reinforce the frame I have a 29er / 650b / [insert new flavour of the month wheel size]. Are the motors compatible ? The motors come laced standard to a 26″ mountain bike rim. These fit most bikes and should go on a 29er or 650b bike as well but will obviously be visually a little smaller. The motor can be relaced by your bike shop into either your existing rim or a new one that it suitable. The motor has 36 spoke holes so any 36 hole rim is suitable. We recommend our friends at Glow Worm Bicycles in Marrickville for custom hub motor lacing. Are the motors disc brake compatible ? Yes, the motors are compatible with ISO 6 bolt disc brakes. Most cheap cable operated brakes are suitable. Some more expensive hydraulic brakes may not fit due to them being too wide to clear the motor case. This can usually be overcome by fitting a washer or 2 under the disc to space it out a little. Can I keep my rear gears ? The motor is compatible with thread on freewheels and depending on your bike and motor choice there should be enough room for a 6 or 7 speed freewheel. Even with a single front chain ring this is plenty of gears once you have electric assistance. You’ll probably rarely take the bike out of the top few gears with our more powerful kits. An 8-10 speed may fit with slight stretching of the dropouts but again depends on your individual bike. If your bike uses a rear cassette these are not compatible. What about the cheap kits I’ve seen on ebay ? How come they’re much cheaper than yours ? The short answer is you get what you pay for. Ebay and other online sales websites are littered with cheap ebike parts that seem like a bargain until you find that your motor fails with the first bump as you leave your driveway. Or your battery dies after 2 weeks, or blows up, or only delivers half the capacity it should, with your only recourse being to return it to China for $200 in shipping, only to find Australia Post won’t even let you ship lithium. These are just a few of the issues we’ve experienced firsthand and sadly these are not isolated cases. We’ve been blowing or otherwise throwing out a heap of stuff over the last 5 years and weeding out the good quality from the garbage. We’ve pushed the limits and found out how to get the best performance but with safety and reliability and this is what we use in our kits. How do I fit the motor to my bike ? Is it hard to do ? The motor comes laced into a complete replacement 26″ rear wheel, simply unbolt your existing rear wheel and bolt the motored wheel in its place. Mount the controller and battery to a rack or your frame, fit the throttle and brakes, plug in all the wiring and away you go.

{"text": "Boyett: In WWI, men here told to 'work or fight'\nDuring World War I the Henderson City Council transformed otherwise upstanding Henderson men into vagrants.\nIt was part of a statewide effort to increase the workforce to aid the war effort. The Gleaner of June 12, 1918, noted the city council had passed an ordinance mirroring a state law that had been enacted earlier that year “so that police court may have jurisdiction.”\nState law and city ordinance said all males between the ages of 16 and 60, except students during the school term, were required to work at least 36 hours a week at some job that furthered the war effort. Bellhops and elevator operators, for instance, didn’t clear that hurdle.\nConvicted vagrants were fined between $20 and $100, and put to work on the streets until the fine was paid. If they had dependents, half the value of their wages was given to their dependents. Those without dependents were not paid.\nLaw enforcement officers were mandated to arrest anyone they thought was guilty, “and the officers who fail to perform this duty shall be removed from office.”\nThe Gleaner of June 15 told of the first arrest under the ordinance. Two plainclothes officers discovered Gus Shelton of Nortonville on the streets, and asked what he did for a living. He replied he didn’t have to work because he was an professional poker player. He soon found himself behind bars.\nWhen he came before the judge, however, he claimed that he had been fooling with the officers and that he was instead one of the hardest-working miners in Hopkins County. The judge didn’t buy it. Shelton was fined $25 and ordered put to work until the fine was paid.\nMeanwhile, on another front, the local Christadelphian church came under intense criticism for its anti-war stance, with much of that criticism coming from Leigh Harris, publisher of The Gleaner and the Journal. His support for the war was fiery – and left little room for honest disagreement. (More about that in a moment.)\nHarris was vehement in his condemnation of the Christadelphian Ecclesia -- and all conscientious objectors -- during a speech he gave at the Zion school during a war bond event, which was reported in the June 20 Gleaner.\n“They say they don’t believe in revivals, yet as soon as the draft law was talked of they more than doubled their membership. Two ponds in this neighborhood were worn out baptizing them, and even the water turned yellow.”\nWhile a black gambler may have been the first arrest made under the city’s new vagrancy law, the second was a more prominent citizen: Dr. Kirby H. Smith of Center Street. The Gleaner of June 23 reported a deputy sheriff had asked Smith whether he was employed.\nSmith replied he was working for the government. He was asked to provide documentation and, when it was not forthcoming, he was arraigned before County Judge H.H. Farmer. “He protested vehemently against the action, declaring that he was managing his father’s estate” and helping with the war bond drive.\nI was unable to determine what happened with Smith’s case, but I suspect it was dismissed, because that’s what happened with the next five cases County Judge Farmer heard.\nThose cited were Guy Barnett, John Sands, Andrew Kohl, Jack Bodine and Stonewall Watson, The Gleaner of June 26 reported. Charges against all were dismissed because two said they had a real estate partnership, one was a clerk, one was a carpenter, and one was an assistant to a civil engineer.\nNo witnesses were produced by the county attorney, who said the law had not been in effect long enough to prove they had not been working 36 hours a week. Farmer issued a warning that the new law would be strictly enforced.\nThe Gleaner’s editorial of June 26, almost certainly written by Harris, went on at length about the vagrancy law, as well as the new federal government order for draft-age men to “work or fight,” which was going into effect July 1.\nIn a nutshell, Harris wrote, many men didn’t seem to realize that things had changed with the onset of war, which slowed some businesses considerably and completely stopped other businesses.\n“They have made the mistake of sitting idly … waiting for something to turn up. Something did turn up. The sheriff. With a summons to court on a charge of vagrancy….\n“If your business is not essential to the war and is being crippled by the war or killed entirely, get busy and find something useful to do.”\nPerhaps Harris wasn’t as hot-blooded as I’ve painted him, because the editorial also said it was “scarcely necessary to say that care be exercised to see that no injustice is done. ‘Vagrancy’ is an ugly word and the brand should be used only when the need is obvious.”\nThe Gleaner of July 4 noted 23 men were being called before the local draft board, based on their responses to questionnaires sent out under the “work or fight” order. The local board expected to see 50 to 75 such men “but others cannot be summoned before the board until the forms arrive.”\n75 years ago\nThe lake at Audubon State Park opened to fishing, eight years after it had been stocked with small game fish, according to The Gleaner of June 18, 1943. The opening was made in response to a request by Mayor J. Alves Clore.\nAlso, a long-time Henderson institution got its name when Matt R. Brown and Leon Pickle bought the newsstand of Jeff Davis at 226 Second St., according to The Gleaner of June 22, 1943.\nThe business was about 10 years old at the time and Davis was retiring because of poor health. The new owners renamed it Matt’s newsstand. It later moved to 116 N. Elm St. and closed about 2011, since that was the last year the owners filed an annual report with the Kentucky Secretary of State.\n50 years ago\nThe Rev. Austin Bell, pastor at Greater Norris Chapel Baptist Church, became the first black to be named to the board of directors of the Henderson City-County Chamber of Commerce, according to The Gleaner of June 18, 1968.\nThe board was made up of 26 people, representing various segments of the community. The Chamber has since been superseded by Kyndle.\n25 years ago\nThe top story in The Gleaner of June 16, 1993, edition was news that the 1994 Babe Ruth Bambino World Series would be held at Park Field.\nThe tournament, slated for Aug. 13 through Aug. 20, 1994, was expected to pump about $1 million into the local economy.\nFrank Boyett can be reached at YesNews42@yahoo.com and is on Twitter at @BoyettFrank."}

While there is a lot of apps that are from 3rd parties, Weebly also has some that it has actually constructed itself.\nThis app allows you to show users formatted code– fantastic if you are possibly running a shows tutorial site. There are even apps to assist you construct more sophisticated website features such as tables and tabs! Aside from their highlight which is as a free sitebuilder, Weebly comes with a couple of perk extras; Free domainThis applies to every strategy, even the totally free one (buy Weebly Website builder on credit).\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nFree SEO ReportIf you set up the MarketGoo App, you can get a complimentary SEO analysis report on your website if you publish why you ‘d desire to move far from a company– increasing costs, better deals elsewhere, not having the ability to acclimatize to the platform or even deciding to move to a brand-new platform like WordPress. No matter the reason, it’s constantly great to have an option.\nFortunately, Weebly is more practical and enables its users to export their sites and even has a tutorial to teach you how to do so. The majority of website home builders lock you into their community and do not let you move. The only way is to erase your site and begin over. You might never ever need to do so if you’re pleased with Weebly, however a minimum of you can if you desired to.\nHowever, facts are facts and complimentary plan users will need to be content to have their website called. There is also another little technical problem if you are a complimentary plan user which is you’re generally stuck to the Weebly subdomain even if you own your own domain.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nYou likewise get stuck to Weebly branding on your sites, by the method. limitations on how you can build each post– the format is repaired, as in title and material. Given the huge variety of bloggers floating around the web and how Weebly has a free plan, I just felt that this was one area in which they might have put a lot more focus.\nThere isn’t any method to put this nicely, so I’ll just lay it out– you can only do a few things with Weebly’s built in image editor– Zoom, Blur, Darken or use a colour filter. I’m not exactly sure why however I just have this extremely odd feeling about an image editor that won’t even let you crop one.\nI comprehend that to support customers expenses money, however Weebly takes that a little more than needed. Your help/support level depends on which prepare you buy in to. Naturally, it does have the basic stuff which is available to everyone. This consists of a knowledge base, FAX and even some video tutorials.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nUnless you are on anything aside from a totally free or starter strategy, you won’t have access to their phone assistance or priority support. The Weebly Neighborhood– Not exactly a hotbed of activity While it does have a community forum, I searched the area briefly and it did not appear very great deal of constraints. Yet that is anticipated, and it is a wonder that they offer it as entirely complimentary instead of a trial.\nIf you’re a little bit more severe about your website, then prepares start from $4 monthly onwards all the method to $25 per month. The provides you storage area, a Weebly subdomain and totally free SSL however nothing else more – buy Weebly Website builder on credit. This would still benefit some usage however– for instance a personal website, blog or portfolio.\nThe at $4 monthly isn’t much better but it does include a totally free domain which Weebly values at $19 (although a.com somewhere else will set you back much less). This strategy does not include eCommerce features. As soon as you exceed those, the and are for those who, well, indicate company.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nThere is a catch despite the fact that you are paying more though and that is the transaction charge of 3% that Weebly imposes like Weebly since it does not feel the need to oppress clients through necessary buy-ins and extortionate rate. buy Weebly Website builder on credit. In item brochure might require to go shopping somewhere else. Unfortunately, advise to anybody who does not feel tech savvy. Now, it’s not that Weebly isn’t flexible or advanced– at times it can be both. Rather, it’s simply that what sets Weebly apart from it’s competitors is it’s basic, clear user interface.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nMore info. Given that 2014 I have actually discussed how uniquely simple to use Weebly is. Even as they’ve included new functions, the user interface has actually stayed simple and clean– which is an excellent stabilizing act. (Simple is easy to do if you do not have numerous features however Weebly has great deals of functions.) It starts with the site editor.\nAspects are then then modified within the page: Pages are developed by dragging elements into the side drawer. Components are then modified within the page. Pretty easy, best? Now let’s trying something a bit more complicated – buy Weebly Website builder on credit. Let’s attempt kind of thing you might not have notification when utilizing Weebly– but it’s these details that make Weebly so easy to use. Other website builders like Wix simply stack additional interfaces on top of your site when editing a background: With Wix, the interface blocks the very thing you are modifying– the background! Weebly also uses this technique of sliding parts of the user interface in and out with the kind builder.\nAnother trick Weebly uses to keep the user interface simple to utilize is highlighting. Essentially, Weebly will focus your attention by dimming the remainder of the website. They use spotlighting with the type contractor … See how the interface highlights the form when modifying types? … And with the footer editor. See how the user interface highlights the footer when modifying the footer? These may seem like minor information– they’re not.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nIt’s a real balancing act. Now Weebly isn’t completely ideal when it pertains to reduce of use. For example, moving your mouse across the page can begin to seem like Minesweeper– where you’re not always sure what you’ll discover. Plus pages are made up of headers, columns, sections, spacers and components– and sometimes it can get challenging to separate them– what’s the distinction between a section and a header? But minor greivances aside, Weebly is still the easiest site home builder and I extremely advise for anybody who does not feel tech savvy. Weebly is an instinctive and powerful online site builder. It lets you develop and edit great-looking sites without making you find out a secret web design language. The bright side of late for Weebly, Inc., is that it remains in the procedure of being gotten by Square, the iPad cash-register-app designer, for $365 million.\nWeebly still sports a clear and simple editor interface, attractive design template styles, and integrated e-commerce and newsletter marketing capabilities. Its stringent responsive style application makes it more limiting than PCMag Editors’ Options Wix and Duda, however. Likewise holding it back are absence of universal undo ability and the failure to recycle uploaded images– benefits found in many competitors.\nThat gets you a site with a generous 500MB of storage, though your totally free website will include Weebly ads. For $8 per month, the Beginner account eliminates the Weebly branding and includes a customized domain name, endless storage, and a 10-product shop – buy Weebly Website builder on credit. At $12 each month, the Pro account adds website search, password defense for approximately 100 website members, and video backgrounds.\nWith a $25-per-month Company account, you can sell unrestricted items, including digital goods. For $38 per month, the Efficiency option adds e-mail marketing (five campaigns per month to as much as 500 addresses), and real-time shipping-rate computation. The first choice you make when you begin developing is whether you desire to offer on your website.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nThen, as with pretty much every other site home builder, you select a design template. With 67 choices, Weebly does not offer as lots of site styles as Wix ($ 4.08 at Wix) or Squarespace. Unlike the majority of site home builders, it also doesn’t show you a sneak peek of the theme’s mobile consider as well as the desktop view (though you can diminish the web spot, or use one you currently own. The most recent version of the contractor does not get to the URL choice till you go to release what you’ve constructed and shows a dialog box that makes it appear like you have to pay for a custom domain.\nMany other home builders have you start with a type to fill out your basic organisation and contact info, which then occupies your website design, however with Weebly you have site you’re developing. You can add all the usual aspects to your site’s page, including text boxes, images, maps, spacers, and media (buy Weebly Website builder on credit). The latter consists of video, audio, and document files, but only paid accounts can place audio and video, which can be of HD quality.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nIf what you’re searching for isn’t available, you might find it in the Apps area– more on this listed below. Just like Squarespace ($ 12 Each Month (Billed Every Year) – Personal Plan at Squarespace) (but unlike Wix), Weebly doesn’t let you simply component uses a way to add a content area into which you can drop more objects. A Section can be a free-form rectangular shape or it can utilize among five layout types: Contact, Featured, Gallery, Menu, and Team.\nYou can drag the leading or bottom of a Section up or down to resize it– something you remarkably can refrain from doing with a lot of aspects, though you can utilize the Area component to resize locations. The only Style customization option is to alter the text display. You can tailor any text type’s typeface, color, spacing, and size.\nYou can include website pages from the sidebar that appears when you pick Pages from the leading menu bar. I like this because it does not take you off your website’s sneak peek page. You get a choice of a basic page, blog site page, store page, or external page. I also like the way clicking on navigation aspects in the Weebly builder takes you to the target destination.\nbuy Weebly Website builder on credit\nOn the other hand, Wix also lets you do some cool things that aren’t developed into Weebly, such as stimulating your title text and using image-carousel backgrounds. A more severe constraint in Weebly is that it has no Undo feature for site changes like adding elements or changing the style, not to mention a complete history feature like that in Wix, which lets you roll back your whole site to a previous state."}

{"text": "Belgian police have arrested two people in different parts of the country who were suspected of plotting attacks during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Brussels, prosecutors have said.\nLess than two months after the jihadi attacks in Paris, which France said were planned in Belgium, the federal prosecutor’s office said police seized military-style uniforms, computers and Islamic State propaganda during raids in Brussels, Brabant to the north, and near Liège in the east.\nSix people were detained for questioning in the raids on Sunday but four had since been released, the prosecutors said on Tuesday. No weapons or explosives were recovered, and the operation was not linked to the Isis suicide bombings and shootings in Paris in November that killed 130 people, they added.\nOne of the two men arrested was being held on suspicion of planning attacks as well as “playing a lead role in the activities of a terrorist group and recruiting for terrorist acts,” the prosecutor’s office said.\nThe second faced charges of planning and “participating in the activities of a terrorist group,” it said, adding that the investigation had revealed “the threat of serious attacks that would target several emblematic places in Brussels and be committed during the end-of-year holidays”. Neither of the suspects has been identified.\nBenoît Ramacker, a spokesman for the Belgian government’s Ocam national crisis centre, said the organisation had raised its alert level for police and soldiers on duty in Brussels, which houses the EU and Nato headquarters.\nRamacker said a new official threat assessment conducted after the latest searches and arrests concluded the officers and soldiers deployed to protect others from extremist attacks “might become targets themselves”.\nAnother source close to the investigation said Brussels’ main square, packed at this time of year with shoppers, was a suspected target. “There are a lot of people on the Grand Place as well as soldiers and police patrolling, as well as a police station nearby,” the source said.\nAmid mounting fears of jihadi attacks, Belgian authorities have stationed troops and extra police officers outside many sites in the capital, including the main EU buildings and foreign embassies and missions.\nBelgian authorities are hunting for suspects thought to have been involved in the 13 November attacks on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, the Stade de France and a string of bars and cafes in the French capital.\nAn international arrest warrant has been issued for Brussels-born Salah Abdeslam, 26, who French authorities say played a critical role in the attacks and is thought to have returned to the Belgian capital the following day after slipping through police hands during a routine early-morning border traffic control.\nNine men have been detained in Belgium since the Paris carnage, including four who are accused of helping Abdeslam get away in the hours after the attacks. Per head, Belgium has provided the highest number of foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq, with an estimated 500 of its citizens having left to wage jihad.\nLike several of the Paris gunmen and suicide bombers – including the alleged ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who died when French police stormed the apartment north of Paris where he was hiding – Abeslam lived or had family connections to the Brussels district of Molenbeek, a longstanding haven for jihadis.\nThe Belgian interior minister, Jan Jambon, told Le Soir newspaper on Tuesday that the suspected terrorist had been able to evade capture for so long because he had a surprising level of support in the communities.\nThe Belgian capital has been on security alert level three – one notch below the maximum – since mid-November. For four days after the Paris attacks, schools and the metro were shut as the city was placed on maximum alert, indicating a “serious and imminent” terrorist threat."}

{"text": "In this article we'll take a look at how regular expressions work. We'll also discuss a great online tool that not only lets you test your regular expressions, but gives real-time feedback on what is being matched and what any capture groups are capturing.\nIntroduction\nRegular expressions (often shortened to \"regex\") often look like gibberish to people who aren't used to them. Even for experienced regular expression users, something like this example from MyComponent's Lexicon Helper code is difficult to parse (it should be a single line):\n'#function getLanguageTopics\\(\\)\\s*\\{\\s*return\\s *array\\([\\'\\\"]([^\\\"\\']+)[\\\"\\']\\)#';\nThere are much more complex regular expressions. For example, here's the RFC 5322 Official Standard for validating an email])+)\\])\n(If you need to paste the code above, remove the line breaks to put it all on one line.)\nLuckily, the regular expressions used in .htaccess rewrite conditions and rules tend to be fairly simple. In fact, so are the ones people actually use to validate email addresses. Here's a fairly simple regex that will allow most valid emails and catch most typos in an email address:\n^[A-Za-z0-9._+\\-\\']+@[A-Za-z0-9.\\-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$\nWe'll revisit this one later in the article.\nIf you're curious about the history of regular expressions, check out this section of the Wikipedia Regular Expression page.\nThis article will definitely not give an exhaustive explanation of regular expressions. My goal is to provide enough information to understand and create rewrite conditions and rules for use in .htaccess files.\nFirst, the Tool\nPhpStorm actually has a built-in regular expression editor, but not everyone uses PhpStorm, and I actually prefer the Rubular Regular Expression Editor, (which I'll refer to as \"the Rubular Editor\" or just \"Rubular\" for short). It's also a system for testing regular expressions.\nThe Rubular editor gives you progressive highlighting of the match being generated. It shows the full match in a window, and any capture groups in another window. It also tries its best to tell you what's wrong when you've entered an invalid regular expression. As a bonus, is has a regular expression cheat sheet at the bottom of the screen.\nI encourage you to use the Rubular Editor to play with the code in this series of articles.\nSome Basics\nA regular expression is really a pattern (and is often called that in both code and comments). It's job is to match some string of text. That long email validation pattern I showed you above, for example, is intended to match any possible valid email address. Some simple regular expressions contain nothing but text. In others, symbols are used to match various things.\nWhen regular expressions are used in PHP code, they're required to have a delimiter at each end of the pattern. The most common delimiter by far is the slash:\n/some_pattern/. You can use any character as the delimiter, as long as it appears at both ends of the pattern, but it's important to make sure that the pattern does not contain the delimiter.\nAlthough the delimiters are required in code, they're *not used* in the regular expressions in an .htaccess file. A delimiter is provided automatically by\nmod_rewrite behind the scenes when it processes each regex. The delimiters are also unnecessary in the Rubular Editor, though you can see them on the screen beyond each end of the pattern.\nThe vertical bar (\n|), is used for a logical\nOR. So if you wanted to match the strings \"tick\" or \"tack,\", the regex pattern\ntick|tack would do the job.\nParentheses have multiple uses in regular expressions. If there were other characters to be matched before or after that part of the pattern above, you'd want to use parentheses, like this\n(tick|tack). For example, this pattern would match \"ticking\" or \"tacking\":\n(tick|tack)ing. Try this in the Rubular editor. Put\nticking tacking in the \"Your Test String\" box and\n(tick|tack)ing in the \"Your Regular Expression\" box.\nNotice that something new has appeared in the \"Match Groups\" box. It's our old friends \"tick\" and \"tack.\" That's because parentheses also serve to \"capture\" the matching text inside them. The regex engine saves them as match 1 and match 2. They can be used later in a rewrite rule as\n$1 and\n$2 (more on this later).\nCharacter classes can be also be used to match multiple strings. A character class looks like this:\n[somecharacters]. There are almost always multiple ways to specify a match in a regular expressions. For example, our original match of \"tick\" and \"tack\" could be rewritten as\nt(i|a)ck. If you try that at Rubular, you'll see that the two captured match groups are now\ni and\na.\nA character class matches any of the letters between the brackets, so we could also rewrite our\ntick|tack expression as\nt[ia]ck. If you try that at Rubular, you'll see that the Matching Groups have disappeared, because there are no parentheses to capture anything.\nLiteral characters can be matched by \"escaping\" them with a backslash (\n\\). Imagine that we wanted to capture \"(tick)\" and \"(tack)\" (surrounded by actual parentheses). Because parentheses have a special meaning in a regex, we'd need to escape them like this:\n\\(t[ia]ck\\). We've preceded each of the parentheses with a backslash to let the regex engine know that we want to match literal parentheses. In that case, nothing will be captured.\nThere are different flavors of regular expressions, but generally, these are the characters that need escaping if you want to match them literally and they are outside of a character class:\n.^$*+?()[{\\|. Inside a character class (inside square brackets), you generally only need to escape these:\n^-]\\ though in some flavors of regex, it doesn't hurt to escape other characters. In others, it's an error, so it's best to only escape the ones we've listed.\nThe\n^ character is kind of a special case. It's used in two ways. Outside of a character class, it refers to the beginning of a line, so\n^(tick|tack) will match either word, but only if it appears at the beginning of the line. It would match the \"tick\" in \"ticking\", but not the \"tick\" in \"backtick.\"\nInside a character class (the square brackets), if the\n^ character appears at the beginning of the character list, it \"negates\" the character class. So\n[^ia] will match any character *except*\ni and\na. If the\n^ character occurs anywhere else in a character class, it's taken as a literal\n^.\nThe\n$ character matches the end of a line. So\n^the whole line$ will match \"the whole line,\" but only if there is nothing else on the line.\nYou will often see the\n^ and\n$ characters in .htaccess rewrite conditions and rules, but they are not required. If you want to match \"http\" only when it appears at the beginning of a URL, you need the pattern\n^http. If, on the other hand, you want to match a directory name which might, or might not occur at the beginning of a URL, you don't want the\n^ character.\nFor some reason, I used to have trouble remembering which of the two characters\n^ and\n$ referred to the beginning and end of a line. This went away when I came up with the phrase, \"the hat goes on the head\" to remind me that the\n^ character referred to the beginning (head) of the line.\nThose two characters (\n^ and\n$) are technically not part of the pattern, so they are never captured when referring to the beginning and end of the string to be searched. If your pattern is\n^the whole line$, the newline character at the end of the line won't be part of the full match.\nRanges — Character classes can also have ranges, separated by a dash character (\n-). So the character class\n[a-z] will match any lowercase letter. The character class\n[a-zA-Z] will match any letter. And the character class\n[a-zA-Z0-9] will match any letter or number.\nMultiple Matches are very common in regular expressions. Suppose you're parsing MODX chunk tags like\n. The part between the brackets and after the\n$ could be anything. We have to escape the opening brackets to prevent them from being interpreted as character classes (but not the closing brackets). We also have to escape the\n$ symbol. We only want to capture the name of the chunk so our regex pattern could look like this:\n\\[\\[\\$(.+)]]\nThe brackets and the dollar sign are just literal characters (right brackets\n] don't need to be escaped). The part we're capturing (inside the parentheses) is the name of the chunk. The dot character (\n.) stands for any character at all. The\n+ character stands for one or more of the expression it follows, so\n(.+) will capture anything inside the tag as long as it's not empty (the\n+ requires at least one character for a match).\nWhat if a character might or might not appear? The\n* character stands for zero or more of the expression it follows. The regex above won't quite do for a chunk tag, because it might have a\n! character to make it uncached and the tag might also have properties, like this:\n[[!$chunkName?&property=`value`]]\nTo capture just the chunk name, we'd need something like this:\n\\[\\[!*\\$([a-zA-Z\\-_]+)\nThis will look for two opening brackets (\n\\[\\[) followed by zero or more exclamation points (\n!*) followed by a dollar sign (\n\\$) followed by a capture group containing one or more of a character class containing letters, a hyphen, or an underscore. In this case, instead of\n!*, we'd probably use\n!? because we know there will only be one exclamation point and the question mark character matches zero or one of the element it follows.\nOf course this pattern will not capture any properties in the snippet tag. Since it's being processed in PHP code, it would probably be handled in two steps by tacking\n\\??(.*)]] on the end of our pattern to capture the rest of the tag except for the closing brackets (in other words, a question mark, followed by any series of characters followed by two closing brackets), then processing the second capture group separately to get the properties and their values. The full regex would look like this:\n\\[\\[!*\\$([a-zA-Z\\-_]+)\\??(.*)]]\nThe\n\\?? looks odd. It captures\n0 or\n1 questions marks. This is necessary because the chunk might not have properties at all. The first question mark is escaped, so it means a literal question mark. The second one is not escaped, so it means\n0 or\n1 of the character ahead of it (the literal question mark). Notice that we did not capture the literal question mark at the beginning of the properties because it's not inside the parentheses. We don't need it to parse the properties themselves.\nThe actual code used to parse a chunk tag in MODX is much more complicated than our example. Because MODX tags can be nested, the MODX parser needs to handle a chunk tag like this, where the name of the tag is the pagetitle of the current document and the value of the property comes from a TV:\n[[!$[[*pagetitle]]?&property=`[[*tv_name]]`]]\nThe parser would first parse the inner tags, replacing them with their values. Then, our example code would be able to parse the resulting tag.\nSometimes you need to match Literal dots. Because the dot character has a special meaning, you have to escape it when you want to match a literal dot, so in .htaccess files, you'll often see something like this:\nyoursite\\.com to match your domain name.\nThe dot character (unescaped) matches anything, but sometimes you want a more specific match. Here are some other options:\n- \\d — any digit\n- \\D — any non-digit\n- \\s — any whitespace character\n- \\S — any non-whitespace character\n- \\w — Any word character (letter, number, or underscore)\n- \\W — Any non-word character\n- \\b — Any word boundary\nThe pattern\n\\s+ is handy when you're matching a string entered by a user and the user might use more than one space to separate parts of the entry.\nHere are the characters used for extending what's matched and their meanings:\n?— zero or one\n*— zero or more\n+— one or more\n{n}— exactly n (e.g., {2} means exactly 2)\n{n,}— n or more (e.g., {2,} means 2 or more)\n{n1,n2}— n1 to n2 (e.g., {2,5} means 2 to 5)\nNow that we've looked at some basic regular expression principles, let's revisit that email validator expression be saw earlier in this article:\n^[A-Za-z0-9._+\\-\\']+@[A-Za-z0-9.\\-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$\nTo make it easier to see the elements of this regex, lets split it up a little (note that the regex below would not work, because the spaces aren't there in an email address).\n^ [A-Za-z0-9._+\\-\\']+ @ [A-Za-z0-9.\\-]+ \\. [A-Za-z]{2,} $\n^ [A-Za-z0-9._+\\-\\']+ @ [A-Za-z0-9.\\-]+ \\. [A-Za-z]{2,} $\nTo interpret this one, first look at the character classes surrounded by square brackets. Then find the\n@ and the literal dot (\n\\.) we expect to see in an email address.\nConsider the example,\nJoeBlow@somedomain.com, for the explanation below.\nYou could read this regex as matching the beginning of a line, followed by one or more of the characters in the first set of square brackets, followed by\n@, followed by one or more of the characters in the second set of square brackets, followed by a literal dot, followed by two or more of the characters in the third set of square brackets, followed by the end of the line.\nLet's look at that section by section:\nThe first section,\n^[A-Za-z0-9._+\\-\\']+@, matches the beginning of a line, followed by one or more (the\n+ sign after the closing bracket) of the characters in the brackets, followed by a\n@ sign. So one or more alphanumeric character, dot, underscore, plus sign, literal dash, or literal single quote. In our example, this part matches\nJoeBlow@.\nThe next section (\n[A-Za-z0-9.\\-]+\\.), is slightly more restrictive. The character set is almost the same as the first, but leaves out the underscore, plus sign, and single quote. It ends with a literal dot, so it matches\nsomedomain. in our example.\nThe final section (\n[A-Za-z]{2,}$)matches only letters because that's all that's allowed in the part of a domain name after the dot. The\n{2,} part requires that part to contain at 2 or more letters. (Before there were domains like\n.museum, it would have been\n{2,3} to only allow two or three letters.) The\n$ at the end matches the end of the address. This section matches the\ncom in our example. The literal dot in\n.com was matched in the previous part.\nWrapping Up\nIn the sections above, we've covered most of the commonly used elements in a regular expression. If you have trouble understanding the regex examples in the following articles, you can refer back to this one or look at any of the numerous Regular Expression Cheat Sheets on the web.\nHere's one that's a printable\nThis one has good examples and links to it's own Regular Expression editor: Regular Expression Cheat Sheet.\nComing Up\nIn the next article, we'll look at rewrite conditions and how regular expressions are used in them to limit when our rewrite rules are applied.\nLooking for high-quality, MODX-friendly hosting?

Next to Max & Erma’s, right?”\nThe answer of course is, “Yes.” Occupying the space left behind when Corky’s Barbecue shut down a couple of years ago, Riverside Cookery has been up and running for about a year, but recently revamped their menu a bit by adding a few new items while keeping a few customer favorites.\nOn Tuesday, they invited members of the local print, TV, and radio media to stop by and try some of the new dishes. Seeing that I’m a member of the local media and they were offering me free food (my second such invitation this week), I obviously jumped at the opportunity.\nJoining me for lunch were my friends and co-workers, Bobby G from our sister-station, 103GBF, and Leslie Morgan from our other sister-station, 99.5 WKDQ. We were greeted at the door by members of both Riverside Cookery and Casino Aztar management, then seated at our table where we were brought up to speed on the new items featured on the menu, including the Fried Alligator appetizer. Always willing to try something new, we ordered it up to share as we looked over the rest of the menu.\nA few minutes later our waiter, Titus, showed up with a plate featuring six big chunks of deep fried alligator set atop a bed of greens with a cup of cocktail sauce in the center. The tender chunks of alligator meat were deep-fried to a golden brown and despite the fact they were deep-fried, weren’t greasy and had a consistency similar to that of shrimp, only with a tad less “give” meaning that you could cut one in half with your fork, but a small amount of force was needed.\nAnd no, they didn’t taste like chicken. Again, they were very similar to shrimp. A smooth texture with a slight buttery flavor. I could have easily eaten them plain, but used the cocktail sauce because it was there and well, because I like cocktail sauce.\nPicking the appetizer was pretty easy, the main course on the other hand was way more difficult. Riverside offers an extensive menu of southern favoriteslike barbecue, fried fiddlers, and frog legs along with traditional fare such as burgers, fried chicken, and pork chops. New additions to the menu include a Shrimp Po’ Boy sandwich and the Hot Brown, an open faced turkey sandwich made famous in the Louisville area.\nBobby went with the Po’ Boy, while Leslie chose the Hot Brown. I was torn between the Route 64 sandwich which featured smoked beef brisket sliced thick and piled high on a bun with horseradish sauce, and the Beale Street Sampler featuring a little bit of everything of everything with barbecue sauce including one rib, a smoked chicken breast, two slices of beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked sausage. The platter also comes with two sides. Although it seriously was a tough call between the two, I wanted to sample as much as I could so I went with the Beale Street Sampler.\nWhat showed up at our table a few minutes later was a meat-lovers dream come true. In hindsight, it’s enough food that you could easily share it with two people and still have leftovers, but I’m a foodie and apparently have total disregard for the well being of my arteries, so I tackled it all by myself.\nNearly every piece of meat on the plate was slathered in Riverside’s barbecue sauce which offered a nice balance of sweet and tangy. The rib looked like it was pulled from Babe the Blue Ox. It was a huge chunk of meat and bone, and while it didn’t fall off the bone, the meat was tender, juicy, and had a nice smokey flavor to it.\nThe chicken breast also featured a nice smokiness evident by the light pink tinge on the top layer of meat. Normally when I eat chicken, I prefer dark meat because white tends to dry out easily. That wasn’t the case here as each bite was tender and juicy. The pulled pork was also nice and juicy, however I didn’t get the smoke flavor from it as I did the rib and the chicken. No big deal as it was just as delicious.\nThe one meat not covered in sauce was the smoked sausage, the ultimate reason I went with this plate over the Route 64 sandwich. I love smoked sausage and will pick some up at the grocery store from time to time to use for breakfast or a pot of jambalaya when I have time to make it. The sausage I dug into at Riverside was smoked perfectly, featuring a casing that had a bit of a snap to it with a filling you could literally squeeze the juice out of. The spice of the filling was just right, enough to give it a little punch, but not so much it was overwhelming.\nAs much as I loved the sausage (and everything else for that matter), the best part of the entire platter was the two thick slices of beef brisket. I’ve never tried making brisket at home because it’s an all-day process that requires hours of low heat due to the connective tissue within the meat itself. Cook it too long and like anything else that’s overcooked, it dries out. On the flip side, if you don’t cook it long enough, the fatty connective tissue in the meat doesn’t break down enough resulting in a gristly texture.\nThe chefs at Riverside know what their doing when it comes to brisket. The two slices on my plate were fork tender and melted on my tongue with a slight salt and pepper taste presumably from the spice rub they place on it before throwing it into the smoker. It. Was. Amazing!\nThe only downside to the entire meal were the sides. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, but not spectacular. The baked mac ‘n’ cheese, while I don’t know exactly how it was prepared, tasted like it may have come from a can then had some shredded cheese sprinkled on top and thrown into the oven long enough to melt the cheese. The mashed potatoes were also a little thicker and less creamy than I prefer. While I did finish the mac ‘n’ cheese (I mean c’mon, it’s still mac ‘n’ cheese), I couldn’t finish the potatoes, but in their defense I had eaten nearly half a farm before I even started on the sides.\nAs uncomfortably full as I was when I finally threw in the towel on my sampler platter, I still made a point to choke down some dessert. Bobby, Leslie, and I each ordered something different with the intent of trying a bit of everything. We went with a brownie sundae, peach cobbler, and a slice of strawberry cream pie. All of which were delicious. The cobbler had a flaky top crust with a dash of cinnamon-sugar, and a warm sweet filling underneath. The pie, while a little wimpy in size, was served chilled and featured a smooth texture with a strong strawberry flavor.\nThe prices at Riverside are reasonable for the amount of food you receive however, I don’t know that it’s a place to take the kids as I didn’t see a kids menu and feeding a family of four or more could get wind up on the pricey side. I definitely recommend a trip to Riverside Cookery the next time your in the mood for a great home-cooked meal."}

{"text": "The.\nTo avoid any suggestion that I am cherry picking evidence let us begin by considering a recent report commissioned by Greenpeace and WWF into the economics of offshore wind and gas. The Wind scenario in this report actually required a total of 36 GW of gas capacity to back up wind. So, at this point we can say that what Osborne and what Greenpeace wants differ by about most 12 GW.\nHowever, as Clive Bates pointed out, the n-word is suspiciously absent from this report. The Wind scenario actually appears to be identical to the “very high renewables” scenario considered by the CCC. This scenario is shown below.\nNow, I don’t think I would pushing things out to suggest that Greenpeace do not want that much power coming from nuclear, or CCS for that matter. Put simply Greenpeace will want to replace all of this nuclear generation with renewables of some sort. So, how much nuclear are we talking about here. The CCC says of this scenario (see page 76):\nTo decarbonise to 50 g/kWh this scenario would still require around 12.5 GW of new nuclear and CCS capacity during the 2020s, in addition to the 5 GW added by 2020.\nWhat is the consequence of replacing 17 GW of nuclear with some form of renewable energy? More gas plants as back up. How many? To get a rough idea let’s look at some modelling done by Poyry for the CCC. Below is the energy mix under different levels of renewable power.\nSo, a good ballpark estimate is that for every 8 GW of nuclear you replace with renewables you need about 5 GW of gas back up. Replacing 17 GW of nuclear with wind is therefore going to require about an extra 10 GW of gas capacity for back up.\nAdd this to 36 GW, and suddenly we are up around 46 GW of gas capacity. The difference between this and the amount of gas capacity George Osborne wants would appear rather negligible to me.\nNow, my analysis above may or not be right. However, before Greenpeace claims George Osborne’s plans will bust the UK’s carbon targets they must first explain how the UK can decarbonise with their preferred level of renewables and without Osbornesque numbers of gas plants\n16 thoughts on “How many gas plants does Greenpeace want?”\nRobert, are you confusing GW with GWh? Carbon emissions come from GWh, not GW. We may need more GW as backup, but that’s different.\nAnd when are you going to start writing about reducing tons of nuclear waste? Why the focus on carbon? Seems one-sided.\nCraig\nThe post is about the need for back up, and the contradictions of Greenpeace. Do you have anything to say about the topic?\nAnd I’m happy to say I worry a great more about carbon going into the atmosphere than nuclear waste, which kills more or less no one.\nHere a good answer to “why the focus on carbon?” Carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced in massive quantities that can only be dumped into the atmosphere. All talk about storage is just that, talk. The total quantity being discharged is roughly 30 billion tons per year.\nFor all of the talk about “nuclear waste” the physical nature of the material makes it rather simple to store in containers that are not terribly expensive. It rarely, if ever, enters the environment. It has never hurt anyone. The total quantity produced each year is a fe thousand tons, not a few tens of billions of tons. In other words, all f the talk about nuclear waste is also just talk, not amounting to much of an issue for either environmental or public health.\nThe problem of nuclear waste is that we see it, transport it, etc. And everything of it is controlled, stored and for some put into retreatment.\n“That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen”\nRobert is doing a PhD in mathematical modelling, so I think he can be relied on to get his units right. Yes, its GW that matters, the amount of power we need.\nThe Greenpeace report only mentions backup once, in one short and vague sentence “some gas-fired power is needed to provide backup”. It seems like a good idea to try to work out how much.\nHumphrey\nUltimately it is GWh that matter when it comes to carbon emissions. This is the measure of power generated, not GW. The post was purely about the gas capacity needed to back up renewables. This is measured in GW. The GWh involved in this is a completely separate issue.\nLet’s consider capacity factors:\n- 90% for nuclear (average in a mix with a low nuclear proportion, Finland or South Korea are even above 95%)\n- 25% for renewable energies considering high range for offshore wind only (solar is much lower but in Great Britain it’s not really worth it and the DECC appears to go big on wind)\n- 50% (max 60%) for natural gas power plants: these beasts are very efficient but can’t run all the time and considering that their purpose is to back-up wind then it would appear much lower.\nSo with a 8GW nuclear versus 8 GW wind + 5 GW gas, we have around 63 TWh versus 53 TWh (18+35) so we are 10 TWh short, it needs further around 4,5 GW in wind capacity (without back-up) or around 1.5 GW in additional natural gas power plants with the same capacity factor.\nUsually the “smart grid factor” is coming in but it’s not magic and the current grid is far from being dumb.\nCountries that have a very high capacity factor for nuclear have a relatively low penetration of nuclear, they use it a pure baseload production all year round.\nGetting as much nuclear production as possible is then very valuable, and you’re ready to spend a lot of money to keep the time it’s shut down as short as possible.\nBut if you have a lot of nuclear, it’s more efficient to use the planned shutdown as a way to regulate the seasonable variation in power use. EDF shuts down nuclear for reload in summer because there’s not a lot of demand anyway. And it can spend less on doing the reload because it doesn’t need to restart that quickly. At the end, the capacity factor is lower than 90% but it’s not that a bad thing.\nI have been forced to start moderating your comments. This sort of thing is just veering completely off topic. If you want to do this please create your own blog. Your off topic response are annoying to me, and no doubt the readers who are getting emails saying someone has responded to their remarks.\nBut I didn’t properly read your comment, Rouget, sorry, just commented on when you can use nuclear at 90% load.\nComparing average yearly production is misleading, it doesn’t say if the wind + solar capacity will have a comparable ability to match a given demand level all year long. As guaranteed wind production is almost zero, you will actually need a lot of gas for that.\nGermany can currently close nuclear because they have a huge fossil capacity, 100 GW (that number might be fossil + remaining nuclear), significantly higher than their highest demand.\nCan you please stay on topic? If not I will be forced to block you. You seem to be taking over my comments sections with stuff that’s vaguely related to the original post.\nWWF and Greenpeace commissioned Cambridge Econometrics to analyse two illustrative future power sector scenarios. The report is based on two scenarios drawn from Poyry modelling for the CCC’s 65% renewables scenario from the Renewable Energy Review. These scenarios are not Greenpeace or WWF scenarios and do not represent our vision for the future power sector. The key points are that GDP is £20bn higher in the high offshore wind scenario, net jobs are 70,000 higher and that there is only a marginal difference in electricity prices.\nJenny Banks, WWF-UK\nJenny\nA key problem then is why Greenpeace or WWF would publicize this report, when it includes a hefty chunk of nuclear power. Surely the actual economics of this scenario would be a lot different if you removed nuclear from the mix?\nIf Greenpeace and WWF were so confident a no nuclear mix would be better for the economy then why did they not ask the authors of the report to model the economic impacts of an energy mix Greenpeace and WWF would be happy with?\nAnd also, why does the report never point out that nuclear power is part of the scenario they considered?\nDear Jenny Banks\nThen what are your scenarios and what is your vision? Greenpeace and WWF are forthright in their opposition to gas and nuclear, and highly optimistic about renewables, interconnectors, storage, efficiency and distributed generation. Can you come up an evolving mix or system design that (a) meets your decarbonisation aspiration; (b) works? Surely, you need to stand on firm territory and open yourselves up to challenge before you start rounding on others struggling to make these commitments work, keep the lights on and bring the paying public more or less onside."}

Then, to add to our stress, Princess changed our non-stop return flight to a connection in Denver. They said there was no non-stop available within \"their parameters\". I contacted the airlines to discover that there were available flights with space. At the airport the non-stop was departing at the next gate. I inquired t the desk and told the only reason they could assume for our change was cost. Our flight was late of course. At our connecting flight e were the last to board. This was made possible because of a delay for the connecting flight!\nin short, EZair is focused on cost savings to Princess rather than comfort/convenience of the customer.

{"text": "Business owners received greater clarity from the feds this week on proposed rules for passive investment income.\nThe first new rule is a reduction in the business limit for Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) that have passive investment income between $50,000 and $150,000 for tax years after 2018.\nRead:\nFeds to tie passive income threshold to small business deduction\nPost-budget passive income strategies\nA second rule will result in decreased refundable tax on investment income inside corporations—that is, decreased refunds to a corporation’s refundable dividend tax on hand (RDTOH) account.\n(RDTOH is used to achieve tax integration at the corporate level.)\nThough this rule isn’t good news for corporations, it’s an improvement on the original July 2017 tax proposal, which considered eliminating RDTOH.\n“Eliminating RDTOH essentially would increase the overall tax rate for business owners on their passive investments,” says Frank Di Pietro, assistant vice-president of tax and estate planning at Mackenzie Financial. He’s pleased that didn’t happen. (The capital dividend account for corporations also stands, he adds.)\nPlus, the new changes to RDTOH aren’t severe, he says.\nRead: Help corporations save taxes through RDTOH account\nBut they are potentially confusing, says Trevor Parry, president at TRP Strategy Group in Toronto. At least, he says, the greater clarity provided on the measures allows for some tax planning. His overall advice to clients is to get on with business. “Continue to use your corporations as a wealth generating engine,” he says.\nWhy target RDTOH?\nTo understand how RDTOH works, first consider the applicable tax regime for income and dividends, set out in the Tax Measures document, which accompanied the federal budget.\nPassive investment income is taxed at roughly top personal tax rates while retained inside a corporation. Some or all of this tax is added to the corporation’s RDTOH account and is refundable at a rate of $38.33 for every $100 of taxable dividends paid to shareholders.\nDividends paid to shareholders are classified as either eligible or non-eligible for tax purposes.\nEligible dividends are presumed to be paid from a corporation’s active business income that’s been taxed at the general corporate rate. Shareholders who receive these dividends are entitled to the enhanced dividend tax credit, which is 15% at the federal level.\nNon-eligible dividends are presumed to be paid from the corporation’s active business income that’s been taxed at the small business rate, or from passive investment income. Exceptions include eligible portfolio dividends, which may be paid as eligible dividends, and the non-taxable portion of capital gains, which may be paid tax-free from a corporation’s capital dividend account. Shareholders who receive these dividends are entitled to the ordinary dividend tax credit, which is proposed to be 10% in 2018 at the federal level (and 9% after 2018).\nRead: All about dividend taxation\nHere’s the problem: a corporation may receive a refund of taxes paid on investment income—reflected in the corporation’s RDTOH account—regardless of whether dividends paid are eligible or non-eligible.\nAaron Schechter, tax partner at Crowe Soberman LLP in Toronto, explains: “What [a corporation] could do is pay out an eligible dividend and recover RDTOH in [the] corporation. Then when the shareholder received the eligible dividend, they would pay tax at a lower rate than had the company paid a non-eligible dividend.”\n(In Ontario, for instance, the personal tax rate on eligible dividends is about 39% versus about 47% for non-eligible dividends.)\nThis results in “a mismatch,” he says. Corporations have the ability to pool income sources at the corporate level (active and investment income) and “pay out a more tax-favourable dividend to the shareholder while still generating or recovering refundable taxes in the corporation,” he says.\nDan LeBlanc, partner at Ernst & Young private client services in Dieppe, N.B., adds, “It was really intended that the dividend refund was earned on investment income that flowed out to the shareholder as non-eligible [dividends],” resulting in greater tax at the shareholder level. “The integration between the corporation and the individual shareholders was a bit skewed […] because [the business owner] could pay eligible dividends, get the highest credit personally and also get the dividend refund in the corporation.”\nThat will no longer be possible after 2018.\nAs the government has indicated since it first introduced its tax proposals in July, it’s targeting a small proportion of corporations. Parry says not many corporations would be actively taking advantage of the refund mismatch.\nNew RDTOH rule\nThe budget proposes that a refund of RDTOH be generally available only when a private corporation pays non-eligible dividends.\nThe measure “streamlines integration to some extent,” says LeBlanc.\nHe says smaller corporations are more likely to be caught by the mismatch, but it’s difficult to quantify the new measure’s impact on individual corporations, he adds. A greater impact will be felt from the business limit deduction, which will more directly affect the amount of capital a business owner can grow in the company, he says. TOSI rules, effective Jan. 1, 2018, will also have a bigger impact.\nRead:\nTax questions for business owners in 2018\nWhat TOSI means for succession planning\nBusiness owners will be able to live with the new reality of RDTOH, says Di Pietro. In effect, the measure means “we do have integration in the system between what the business pays at the corporate level and what the shareholder pays at the personal level on that dividend,” he says.\nNew rule in action\nThe measure requires the addition of a new RDTOH account, called eligible RDTOH, which will track refundable taxes paid on eligible dividends. Any taxable dividend (eligible or non-eligible) will entitle the corporation to a refund from this account.\nThe current RDTOH account will now be called non-eligible RDTOH and will track refundable taxes paid on investment income (part 1 tax under the Income Tax Act) and non-eligible portfolio dividends (part IV tax). Refunds from this account will be obtained only upon payment of non-eligible dividends.\nThough tracking will be required, its complexity pales in comparison to potential tracking of passive income in the original proposal, says Di Pietro.\nAn ordering rule requires that, when non-eligible dividends are paid, the refund must come from the non-eligible RDTOH account before the corporation can obtain a refund from the eligible RDTOH account.\nPlanning opportunities\nIn light of both new measures to passive investment income, advisors should carefully consider investments inside clients’ corporations.\n“Advisors might want to pay a little bit more attention to exactly the types of returns that are being generated,” Di Pietro says. For instance, it may be more advantageous to generate capital gains, which can be paid out as a capital dividend*.\nFurther, Schechter says it could make sense for private corporations to pay out eligible dividends to recover RDTOH before year-end, “because they won’t be able to that in the future.”\nLikewise, LeBlanc says corporations should look at their RDTOH balances and their dividend policies and decide whether to pay dividends this year. “Before the rules came in, some people might have been sitting on [RDTOH] balances,” he says.\nIf a corporation doesn’t have enough cash flow to pay out eligible dividends, it could pay by way of a promissory note, adds Schechter.\nAlso, “if there’s no RDTOH, you would only pay out an eligible dividend if you needed the money,” he says.\nWhat happens to existing RDTOH\nThe RDTOH measure applies for taxation years that begin after 2018.\nThe Tax Measures document says, “An anti-avoidance rule will apply to prevent the deferral of the application of this measure through the creation of a short taxation year.”\nThe document further explains how a corporation’s existing RDTOH balance will be allocated:\n- For a CCPC, the lesser of its existing RDTOH balance and an amount equal to 38.3% of the balance of its general rate income pool, if any, will be allocated to its eligible RDTOH account. Any remaining balance will be allocated to its non-eligible RDTOH account.\n- For any other corporation, the existing RDTOH balance will be allocated to its eligible RDTOH account.\nFor more details on the new measures for passive investment income, download the Tax Measures document.\n*A previous version of this story stated that capital gains can be paid out as eligible dividends, which is incorrect.

{"text": "The face painting ideas can usually be used to good effect by non-professional face painters if the brush techniques required aren’t too difficult.\nOne doesn’t have to be a professional face painter to create fun face painting designs that children love. Younger children especially may not be able to sit still long enough to have professional face paint techniques applied. Many are happy with just a red or pink nose and some whiskers painted on to look like their favorite animal. Also, although face paint is washable, many children don’t have the patience to wait while you remove layers of paint – especially if they’re already tired out from an event such as a birthday party or Halloween.\nLuckily, simple face painting ideas that are quick to wash off can still be a lot of fun for kids. Face painting can add to the festive feeling of an event or party. For example, some children’s festivals offer free simple face painting especially on Halloween day face painting is most popular in America and give each child a balloon and/or stickers to take home as well.\nFace Painting Ideas\n7 Comments\nThis is a long collection of face painting examples. I absolutely loved some of them, but some are simply scary or tasteless. Great idea for a post though 😉\nSome of them are quite scary, And no detail!

{"text": "Salmon…and bikinis?\nby Amy Baird, SOS communications director\n“Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.” – Aaron Levenstein\nI talk to a lot of people everyday about wild salmon restoration efforts on the Columbia and Snake Rivers here in the Pacific Northwest. Those people vary from elected leaders, to young entrepreneurs, to activists, to the friendly guy who runs the coffee shop up the street. I talk to a lot of committed conservationists, fish biologists, and even those who know little to nothing about salmon except how delicious they taste. It’s a subject with a complex history and political nuances that dwarfs even presidential campaigns. From my vantage point in dealing with business leaders, I realize just how much I take for granted the direct connection between a healthy environment and a healthy economy.\nThat said, polling conducted over the last couple of decades reflects a need to increase public education about this issue. At a time when our economy is still struggling, unemployment still stubbornly high, and a living wage difficult to come by, recognizing that salmon restoration creates jobs is critical. Our environment and economy are very much tied to each other, not at odds. We can indeed restore salmon and create jobs via innovation in the transportation sector, development in renewable energy, increases in energy efficiency, and increasing access to fish that thousands of Northwest businesses, families, and communities are reliant upon.\nRecent polling conducted by Earthfix/DHM reflects the need to provide information on the economics behind environmental protection. Many of the questions in the survey implied a contrast or even opposition between the economy and the environment, when we know the opposite is true (just look at the Sandy or Elwha River restoration projects). Survey results are entirely dependent on how a question is phrased.\nAt the end of the day, polling like this really reinforces why we need a new approach to salmon restoration on the Columbia/Snake Rivers. A collaborative process that addresses the science and economics behind salmon restoration and addresses the needs of ALL the stakeholders involved is possible, and has worked on other tough conflicts in which the environment and economy are closely intertwined. It’s time to make both our jobs, and our environment, our priority. Join me in asking our elected leaders to convene a solutions table for salmon: TAKE ACTION"}

{"text": "So I finally managed to start a blog. I’ve been agonizing on so many things for such a long time. Wondering about what to write about? What platform to use? Should I self-host or go for a hosted service?1 Does anyone care what I write about? Is it even worth starting, knowing that I might just abandon the whole thing after three posts? Do people even read blogs anymore?\nThen today at work I had a brief discussion with my colleague about the matter. Turns out, he has had similar thoughts for quite a while. So we decided to do it (Mike’s blog can be found here), knowing that both of us has at least one reader 🙂\nOverthinking tends to yield more thinking, but nothing concrete. Sometimes just winging it and seeing where it takes you might be just what fits the bill."}

The new abdominal workout program teaches a true, effective and healthy method that provides an alternative to diets that do not get results. As weight gain is on the rise, stubborn abdominal fat and health risks are increasingly prevalent problems. Men and women constantly seek out answers on how to reduce abdominal fat, searching for abdominal workouts for men and women that will help them slim down and fit into those jeans.

This program offers the truth about effective abdominal weight loss.\nAmong the most harmful substances for the abdomen are processed, artificial foods. “Diet foods” are packed with artificial additives that actually cause them to be addictive to the body. No wonder the body craves unhealthy foods once people start eating them. Eating addictive foods initiates a vicious cycle of overeating, which leaves individuals overweight and undernourished.\nOn the other hand nutrient-rich “super-foods” can actually kill and reduce abdominal fat. Some among them are dark chocolate, avocados, eggs, and cinnamon.\nDark chocolate, with a cocoa level of 78% or higher, is very high in antioxidants, theobromine, and oleic acid, which naturally reduce abdominal fat.\nAvocados are high in monounsaturated fat, a healthy fat that is used by the body to burn belly fat.\nWhole eggs from free-range chickens are among the healthiest foods you can eat to reduce abdominal fat. They contain belly burning protein and omega 3 fatty acids. The egg yolks are the most nutritious part of the egg, containing the essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E and K, many minerals and antioxidants your body needs to reduce abdominal fat.\nCinnamon contains a special antioxidant that has been found to convert carbohydrates to energy in your body.\nIncorporating “super-foods” like these into a diet and eliminating the wrong types of foods will effectively reduce abdominal fat as well as limit health risks.\nThe “Abdominal Workouts for Men and Women” new online program is available today and reveals in more detail the crucial health benefits of certain foods that reduce abdominal fat. In addition, the program reveals shocking information about foods, marketed as “healthy,” that are actually detrimental to your abdomen.\nIn addition to a healthy, whole food diet, men and women need to work out in Order to see results. Effective abdominal workouts for men are not all that different from abdominal workouts for women, but proper form, technique and diet must be demonstrated in order to see any results. Abdominal workouts for men, abdominal workouts for women, and crucial nutritional information are available today through “Abdominal Workouts for Men and Women” designed to inform the truth about abdominal weight loss.\nAbout Abdominal workouts for Men and Women\nStarted in September 2012 Abdominal Workouts for Men and Women will be dedicated to providing quality comprehensive information and education about nutrition, healthy weight loss and abdominal workouts.

{"text": "By Bossyy\nHip-HopVibe.com Staff Writer\nEverything about this situation is messed up, as Donna Francis was sentenced to a year in prison. This follows a 2015 encounter with a woman named Kelly Mayhew, who was looking for butt affordable enhancements. That led to her meeting Donna Francis, big mistake.\nKelly Mayhew ordered butt injections, for $1,100, off eBay, which led to her meeting Donna Francis, a woman who claimed to be a plastic surgeon. The two met in a Queens basement, where the procedure took place. Here, Francis didn’t properly give the injections.\nThe silicone seeped into Mayhew’s bloodstream, and Donna Francis fled the scene, leaving the woman with her mother. As the mother called 911, Francis refused to give an address, hopping a plane to London, the next day. She stayed there, until she received a deal, earlier this year.\nRecently, Donna Francis was sentenced to a year in prison, where the judge, Kenneth Holder, told Francis she got away with murder. Mayhew’s family was also outraged, dismissing Francis’ apologies, saying she was only sorry she got caught. In addition to this, Mayhew’s mother is pursuing this case overseas, in London, where Francis hid for four years.\nSource: NY Daily News\nFollow Hip-HopVibe.com on Twitter @HipHopVibe1."}

{"text": "Normal body conditions allow the immune system to produce antibodies which protect the cells and fight against any foreign substance which may affect the cells. Antibodies recognize and destroy the foreign substances, however, an autoantibody indentifies the body’s own proteins or tissues as foreign, dangerous, or as pathogens, so it begins to destroy and damage them. Thus, an autoantibody is an immune protein that works against the body.\nAutoantibodies cause a variety of autoimmune diseases. The autoantibodies can specifically target a single organ or gland or be widespread through out the body, attacking multiple organs. Examples of conditions caused by autoantibodies include Graves’ disease which attacks the thyroid gland, rheumatoid arthritis which inflames the joints, and lupuserythematosus which attacks any or many organs such as the kidneys, heart or even the blood.\nIt is yet to be understood how and why autoantibodies are produced. Sometimes there is an underlying genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases, or an environmental triggering event from either toxin exposure or a viral infection. Autoimmune diseases also have a high incidence rate in women during their child bearing years, this may point towards a hormonal component in the autoantibody production trigger.\nAutoimmune disease tend to be cyclic, falling into remission for years and then suddenly flaring up. This cyclic tendency suggests that the body can turn the autoantibody production on and off, but it is not known where and how this occurs. When this is found out, then a cure for autoimmune disease will possibly be found too.\nblog comments powered by Disqus"}

{"text": "by who loved and cared for queer bodies dying from this disease in spite of the xenophobia that surrounded her.\nAs a child of the 1990s, I have distinct memories of the HIV/AIDS Crisis. I remember urban legends about AIDS-infected thumbtacks maliciously placed in movie theater seats. I remember it being called the “gay disease” many years after that particular mischaracterization was debunked. I remember talking to the older gay men in my small Arkansas town of Harrisburg (although there were only a few) about how they mourned the loss of loved ones the decade before. Little did I know, in our humble natural state was “the cemetery angel”. In Hot Springs, only a couple of hours southwest from me, was Ruth Coker Burks, dubbed “the cemetery angel” by her friends and the media after it went public that she served as not only caretaker for over a 1,000 families but also undertaker for dozens of HIV/AIDS victims. In all, Burks buried 43 bodies in Files Cemetery, her family’s cemetery that she inherited from her mother, a class privilege that allowed her, in some way, to do the work she did because ownership of a burial ground became critical to the work she performed.\nFor approximately a decade (between 1984 and the mid-1990s), Burks, with no medical training, cared for as many sick and dying queer bodies as she could when the HIV/AIDS crisis hit her home state of Arkansas. Burks’ work as a death doula began when she met Jimmy. Jimmy’s door was draped in fire-engine red plastic, alerting all that an HIV/AIDS patient was inside. And upon overhearing the nursing staff drawing straws in order to force one of them to do their job by providing him with care, Burks charged into Jimmy’s hospital room. Burks took command of the situation and cared for him until he drew his final breath begging for his mother who would not come to his side.\nShe even took over Jimmy’s burial needs, eventually having him cremated after a long process of denials from many Arkansas cemeteries. She used a “chipped cookie jar for an urn,” borrowed from a friend at a neighboring pottery shop and buried him in her family’s cemetery of which she still is the lone owner, Files Cemetery.1 This process continued for all the AIDS victims she cared for in life and death. After families refused to claim the bodies, she often paid for cremations in addition to burying them with her own two hands with a pair of post hole diggers. Burks said:\nI’d bury them and we’d have a do-it-yourself funeral. I couldn’t get a priest or a preacher. No one would even say anything over their graves… No one wanted him,” she said, “and I told him in those long 13 hours that I would take him to my beautiful little cemetery, where my daddy and grandparents were buried, and they would watch out over him.2\nBurks would often do much more than lay their bodies to rest because she was not waiting by the bedside for them to die. So unlike Jimmy’s nurses at University Hospital, Burks took active care of her patients, seeking to provide comfort and care, extending their life even! She picked up their medications from the pharmacies who would ask her to keep the pen she used to sign the check for fear of contamination. She would talk patients through their despair even after their families had completely abandoned them. Most of all, she rarely used latex gloves. Her human touch reminded them that they were still human and very much alive. After many years of this level of care the nation took notice. Her “patients lived two years longer than the national average” and she began receiving patients from across the country: “They sent them to me so they could see what I was doing that helped them live. I think it was because I loved them. They were like my children, even though I was burying people my age”.3\nAnother patient of Burks, Roger, was not found behind a red door. After Roger was diagnosed, he decided to fly back home and be with his family towards the end. Roger’s family members, who were actively taking care of him and had agreed to do so, had second thoughts because Roger suffered from a brain tumor comorbid with his AIDS diagnosis and was paralyzed from the neck down. Roger’s aunt reached out seeking help from Burks after seeing her discuss the disease on television. Burks was asked and of course agreed to attend Roger, who then stood at 6’5’’ but weighed only 75 pounds. She arranged for an entire medical room outfitted with all equipment and materials to be provided for the family. She even met them at the airport to transport Roger to their home.\nWhereas Jimmy’s mother abandoned him to the hospital, Roger’s highly conservative and religious fanatic of a family stayed to bleach his soul – literally. In fact, the family called a funeral home to discuss their options and were told that before Roger would be taken in his body would have to be soaked in bleach postmortem! Burks undoubtedly set the funeral home workers straight though. In my personal interview with her, she told me: “I went to the funeral home and told the funeral director that if I ever heard of him emotionally abusing another family, I could guarantee all of the press right outside their front door, a public relations nightmare”.\nRoger’s family’s quest to bleach his soul did not stop at post-mortem decontamination, they were determined to baptize him while still alive. When Burks arrived at Roger’s family home, she was greeted with Roger’s father who was absentmindedly snapping a measuring tape which he’d just used to find dimensions on the hot tub out back. He’d been searching for a way to baptize his son and cleanse his body of the sin of homosexuality and decided that the hot tub would do just fine. Roger’s father seemed interested in how many days his son had left to live not (seemingly) out of sorrow, but rather because the hot water heater had gone out in the tub and couldn’t be fixed until the following Monday.\nRoger’s father apparently believed that he was fighting for his son’s soul; and if the hot tub could not be fixed in time to baptize Roger, then his son would, presumably, be condemned to hell. Burks supports this line of reasoning because she discloses that in conversations with Roger’s sister, his sister proclaimed that Roger brought this disease on himself as a result of being such a bad sinner. Furthermore, this derision was amplified by the fact that, as Burk hints in our interview, the family was a major donor to the town’s church but unless Roger was so-called cleansed of his sins, he would not be given a proper burial. This refusal of a “Good Death” was not uncommon for queer or racialized bodies. They were often denied this service and instead would be buried in unmarked graves or their bodies given over to unrelated people to dispose of, as was the case for Burk and many of the bodies for which she cared. And to add insult to horrific injury, that hot tub was likely going to be the place where Roger’s body would be submerged in bleach as per the funeral home’s requirement.\nBurks worked through the palpable hatred and grief stemming from Roger’s sister and gave the family tips on how to take care of Roger, mainly how to bathe and care for his body – one they feared so deeply. Roger’s father and younger brother seemed to hear her (at least at first) through the finger-wagging of his sister. It was to no avail, though, because after a few moments of contemplative silence Roger’s father commanded his grandchildren to dam up the creek beside their house, just three short days before Roger died. They were going to cleanse Roger, and their family by proxy, of his so-called sins. Burks told me that “I tried as hard as I could to save Roger from that icy baptism in a dammed-up creek on that cold October night”.\nThis kind of post-mortem contamination fear harkens back to antiquated Jim Crow laws on segregated cemeteries, especially in the Southern United States. It was yet another way to other a group of people, this time after death. These are deeply Southern ties that cannot be extracted from racialized discourses surviving and unfortunately thriving at the time. The HIV/AIDS body was so often considered “deracialized” (because the disease was thought to pertain only to sexuality or lifestyle- intravenous drug users) yet was seemingly burned in metaphorical effigy to incorporate the hatred against people of color, especially Southern people of color.\nThe end to Roger’s story, much like that of many others, has been lost to time or exorcised from familial memory. Ruth was asked to leave, and his family was left to do whatever they wanted with his corpse. There was no patch on the AIDS Quilt for Roger. Burks’ stories of him are the only thing left of his specific material life.\nThis issue of corpse safety, permeated stories like these and so many others. For all of her patients, Burks focused her attention on providing physical comfort as well as emotional support. She nurtured them as their stand-in mother and buried them in her family cemetery. Her first patient, Jimmy, was even buried on top of her own father’s grave in order to keep him safe. She never bowed down to the prejudiced funeral industry and she certainly never turned away anyone who needed her. When she couldn’t care for them after death, she did her best to educate their families. While we don’t know the end-result of Roger’s story, his living body was dipped in an icy creek just to “cleanse” him of the sin of homosexuality. Likewise, if the funeral home had their way his corpse would have been bathed in bleach, a social baptism of sorts to “cleanse” away the misplaced and ill-begotten stigma of HIV/AIDS.\nThe discrimination that Ruth Coker Burks fought against was felt far and wide. Most specifically, though, it was prevalent in the Funeral Industry. The HIV/AIDS corpse brought about, until then, an unheard-of shift in the industry, one fraught with homophobia and discrimination. The hospitals would not care for queer corpses. The funeral homes would desecrate the body with bleach or charge exorbitant fees if they did not just outright turn them away. Cemeteries denied them a proper and good burial. Funeral homes were frequently accused of bias. They would charge an extra $500 fee to handle AIDS patients in some Connecticut funeral homes, for example, while some just simply and harshly turned them away altogether This happened nationwide. Others advised families not to show the body of an AIDS victim for the misplaced fear that the body could contaminate mourners. Some refused to embalm the bodies and would only take the body if the family agreed to direct cremation without a viewing.\nFuneral directors and the general public regarded these bodies as problems of public safety and understood the disease so little that even those living with HIV/AIDS suffered at the hands of this ignorance. The massive-scale rejection of HIV/AIDS victims both pre- and post-mortem because of a culture of fear, ignorance, and hatred, opened up rhetorically to allow the queer corpse to take up space. In many places these bodies also worked within a dual tension of simultaneously being stripped of racialized discourses while being subject to them. For example, while the disease was rarely thought of in terms of race (because it was the “gay disease” for so long) it also became a punching bag for racists and xenophobes to hone their discriminations against marginalized communities. John Troyer’s “Technologies of the HIV/AIDS Corpse” summarizes the situation: “In short, the HIV/AIDs corpse became the nexus of a socially deviant disease, and it marked the sudden impossibility of a dead person’s postmortem rehabilitation through proper embalming by the American funeral industry”. Troyer’s work makes for an image of HIV/AIDs corpses as active actors in the funeral industry.\nAfter talking with Burks and learning about Roger, I was left to contemplate the intersections of not only religion and queer death but race, class and how whiteness pervades queer death and dying. Just how were people of color who suffered from this disease treated during this time? This is largely because of a lack of reporting on caretakers of color (who did similar work to Burks) and African Americans living and dying of HIV/AIDS in the 1908s and 1990s. Arkansas, at the time and still today, was/is home to the national headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan, a mere 3 hours from where Burks was doing her work.\nA 2018 NYTimes article reminds that “HIV/AIDS is a critical part of any discussion about black survival. If black lives really matter, the lives of black people living with HIV/AIDS ― and those at risk for HIV infection ― must matter, as well.” The question becomes: How do we continue this work while also delving deeper into our own histories to uncover these critical discussions and make them matter as well?\n“AIDS, Black Feminism, and the Institutionalization of Queer Politics” by Jih-Fei Cheng can provide a model on which to begin to center people of color and specifically queer people of color so that their story is not swallowed up by the grand heteronormative narrative of white death history. Burks bravery and service to her community who desperately needed her must be commended, and while there is no doubt that Burks was a radical for the help she provided, how can we as a community, myself very much included, do better at emphasizing diverse voices?\nWhile men and women all over the world suffered greatly from the disease, it seemed that white queer bodies were the face, and in 1980s-90s Arkansas, that was the population that that Burks helped. These white queer men were often feminized because of their gaunt bodies and infantilized because of their physical limitations in caring for themselves. At the same time, they were made out to be monsters because of the fear surrounding the disease and that was without a racial prejudice that pervaded the lives of so many at the time. The hateful discourse surrounding these bodies was as multifaceted as the people suffering from the disease. Much like the Gay and Lesbian Movements of 1970s America, these bodies demanded a presence in life as much as they did so in death.\nI invite you to comment below with resources and narratives like Ruth’s or her patient’s that center people of color.\nTogether, let’s make this a repository for anyone wanting to do this work!\nNotes\n1.

I refused to take my nice camera into the bakery due to all of the dust and yucky stuff!\nValentines Day this year was the first year that I really enjoyed it. In the morning I got up and made a pegboard thing for our kitchen (pictures to come later). Then I cleaned and crocheted until Mikey got out of work at 2pm. We spent the day shopping for new skate shoes for him . For some reason I could not pick out ANYTHING that I wanted. It was so weird! So instead of a present I requested dinner and a movie. We went out to Chili's, yes not the fanciest but I am totally in love with the tropical sunset margaritas and the veggie burgers there. Plus last minute on Valentine's Day you don't have much options haha. Everything was so yummy and we sat around talking about everything we want in life, what kind of house, how many kids, how we will raise them. It's so nice to be to the point in our relationship that we can talk about all of that without either of us getting freaked out. After dinner we went and saw the Wolfman! I loved it. I refuse to listen to anyone talk bad about it. I went in prepared to not compare it at all to the original. You can never remake a classic and have it be the same. It's just not possible in my mind. All in all we had a wonderful day. There was no ridiculous spending of money on little pink things that can't be used year round, which is why I hate that holiday normally.\nThe rest of the long weekend was spent curled up watching True Blood (I'm hooked I can't help it!) and being silly. We went out to eat with Devon one night and Emily came over another night to watch a movie. Lots of giggling and fun was had by all! I even had a bit of extra money so I bought some pretty dresses and a pencil skirt! I'm trying to slowly build up my nicer clothing collection so that when I get a job doing hair again I will actually have something to wear! There will be no scrambling about to find clothing to wear, which I have had to do before and it sucks.\nOff to work on some projects and clean up a bit. I have an idea for a weekly post that I'm going to start doing. I'll be back later with that!\nxoxo,\nCasey Kirkland\nI can't believe we have to wait until JUNE for new True Blood. Cruel, cruel and heartless! Your cookies are 'dorblezzzzz <3\nThose cookies look freakin' LUSH! Oooh, yumyumyum.\nYou love True Blood! Yaaay! Took me ages to get into it but I am so hooked on it now, adore the books and am totally adoring Eric... again, yumyumyum\nxxx\nBeautiful cake decorating and your Valentine's Day seems so lovely!\nthat sounds like such a nice valentines day! isn't it so amazing to be able to have those conversations when you're both on the same page? it's such a great feeling.\nOh wow those sweets look so great."}

{"text": "Here are the two most crucial things that I want you to learn from me today. Nope, I won’t make you sit quietly, study endlessly, or toil for years until you’ve earned the right to hear it. You don’t need to be ready. I’ll just tell you now:\n1. I champion and celebrate your desire, dear Hero, to change and evolve as much as you want to. And you do not need to be fixed. No matter what your situation, challenge, or condition, there’s nothing wrong with you. You are blazingly fantastic, whole, and perfect down to your core. You’re doing such an excellent job of being you.\nI know that some of us out there are genuinely sick, have suffered life-shattering injuries, or are hurtling more quickly towards death than others. Some of our bodies are in greater stages of perpetual crisis, with very real implications to live with. Some of our minds tend towards the darker and more painful shades of reality. Some of us are stuck in habits and patterns that no longer serve, ones that we want to dramatically change. Some of us need help just facing the day.\nI’m a huge advocate for positive change and for receiving help and support. That’s why I write Power Packs and believe so much in games like SuperBetter. I’ve contended with my own emotional demons, physical conditions, and strange but tenacious habits of self-sabotage. I know that given the right physical care, social food, mental air, and emotional watering, we humans can flourish in ways that astound and inspire me. There are real habits and practices we can do to positively enhance our lives.\nBut I need you to know that underneath and all around whatever challenges you’re facing right now—you are AWESOME. You’re awesome despite your challenges, sure; but you’re also awesome because of them. They are what lead you here after all. Let’s take a moment to thank them for that.\nThat’s one of my goals as a Power Pack writer for SuperBetter: to offer up tools and suggestions for transforming a life by using and accepting exactly what we’ve got.\nAnother is to support positive change in a way that focuses more on the adventure than on the destination. Which leads us to crucial point number two:\n2. You win the game by playing it, not by finishing it. Finishing this game of life means you’ve died. Hopefully when we do reach the finish line (even if it comes sooner than we hoped), we have a sense that we used the time we had here to greatest advantage for ourselves and for others.\nThis means we’re beyond self-improvement, folks. We’re past that false notion that there’s somewhere static and tangible to get to—and if we could just get to that perfected state then we’d be golden, our problems solved, and money would start raining down from the sky. We’d have “won the game,†so to speak.\nI don’t think so. I’m not sure how the myth of arrival got set up in the first place, but let me offer an example of how ridiculous it really is: I’ve been breathing my whole life,†an man says eagerly to you on the train home, and I’ve worked hard at it. Any day now I’ll have perfected it and then I’ll be done with it altogether! I mean, I’ve mastered it—so I won’t have to do it anymore, right?â€\nRight…\nPerfected, mastered breathing obviously doesn’t imply that we stop breathing. Anything but. It might mean breathing has become easier or more flowing. That there’s enjoyment with each breath, or that I can now use my breath to alleviate pain or calm nerves; to connect with others and be fully alive in this world. But I don’t stop. No, as long as I’m alive I never stop breathing. Instead, I use breathing as a tool in the tool kit that I reach into when I need support, want to increase my enjoyment or sense of purpose, or want to ramp up my resilience. It’s a tool I can use on my journey of life, one that can make the journey easier and more fun.\nThe same is true for personal evolution and growth. “Winning the game†of positive change, living up to our potential, and moving towards our dreams—the game of being SuperBetter—isn’t about reaching the finish line and then being fanned in a golden chair for the rest of your life. (I love golden chairs and being fanned, fyi—just under different circumstances.) It’s not about the finish line. It’s about playing the game and playing it well, to the best of our current abilities. It’s about being the Hero in our own never-ending adventure. In the game of life, we don’t always defeat the dragon and then rest on our laurels. Instead we discover all the ways there are to defeat dragons then practice our favorite techniques so that next time the dragon pops up, we can kick some ass.\nOr have learned to speak Dragon.\nOr whip out a saddle so we can dragon-ride off into the sunset for a while.\nThis is what sits at the foundation of my creating and writing of Power Packs. Your awesomeness, Hero, is the backbone of everything I write. I run every Quest, Power-up, and Bad Guy through the awesome filter. Heck, I run every sentence through that filter. I ask myself: does this sentence help bring out the inner gem in my Hero? Does it encourage positive change while not making my Hero feel inadequate for not being there yet? When a Hero reads my words, does she relax and think, “I can do this! I can totally do thisâ€? I strive to push my Heroes towards greater freedom, aliveness, and resilience by believing to my core that each and every one of you is already there. My job isn’t to change you, fix or redeem you, but to expose you to ideas, tools, and concepts that you can use for your own empowerment, that you can use to reveal and express more of who and what you already are: which is mind-blowingly, staggeringly, oh-my-God-I-can-hardly-see-because-of-the-blinding-light incredible.\nWant a closer look at what goes into creating Power Packs? Stay tuned for my next installment!\nAs the creator, developer, and writer of Power Packs, Bez Maxwell brings to SuperBetter an inexhaustible delight in written words, creativity that won’t turn off, and a vast amount of compassion and care for humanity’s emotional welfare. She’s passionate about pushing limits while also loving and appreciating what is, and fiercely values both the ecstatically joyous and the unpleasantly dark aspects of the human experience. Bez is a Stanford-educated professional writer and Certified Life and Relationship Coach trained in transparent communication, emotional wisdom, and playful problem solving for individuals, couples, and businesses.\nYou can reach her at bez [at] superbetter [dot] com\nMay 31, 2012 at 11:18 pm\nOur whole office is playing SB! We just started a few weeks ago. I heard Jane speak at IdeaFestival and was blown away by her sincerity. I could feel her empathy from 30 rows back. Your words ring that true to me, too, Bez, thank you for that. This is the biggest time of my 53 years for so many reasons, and being part of SB has given me a real sense of balance, inner strength and personal purpose. Thanks for such a cool game. Best wishes! Keep up the great Power Packs!\nJune 1, 2012 at 2:00 am\nBeautifully done!\nJune 1, 2012 at 10:10 pm\nSo passionate and loving! Thanks for this boost today 🙂"}

It would be an understatement to say we've learned from our conversations with guests. They have been kind enough to share their stories of change and do so in some depth. In this wrap-up episode we talk about:\n- The importance of a Support Team, positive people that have a genuine interest in you, your wellbeing and your growth\n- The benefits of adopting a child-like curiosity to life\n- The doors that can open when we reassess what we value (trading with different currencies)\n- The way the stories we tell ourselves can either slow down or speed up our growth\n- How redefining something we value e.g. adventure, can open up new doors\n- How difficult, exciting and rewarding stepping into the unknown can be\n- The importance of noticing how you feel\n- The importance of sharing the story you want to be able to tell about yourself\n"}

{"text": "Describe the students and the class: age, proficiency level, ESL or EFL, mixed language or homogeneous group, class times, etc. Be sure to include all relevant information. This can give information about what can be expected of the students and how the group and how the individuals in it behave.\nHere in an example:\nThe students in this upper intermediate class are between the ages of 18 and 31, studying English as a second language in an adult school. There are five women and eight men. Most of them are from Mexico, but there are two students from Vietnam. There are two PAs/secretaries, one housewife, five university students (three of\nthese are postgraduates), two businessmen, a musician, a scientist, and a waiter.\nBecause the class starts at 7:45 in the evening, students are often quite tired after a long day at work (or at theirs studies). They can switch off quite easily, especially if they are involved in a long and not especially interesting piece of reading, for example. However, if they get involved, they can be noisy and\nenthusiastic. Sometimes this enthusiasm gets a little out of control and they start using their first language a lot.\n2. Aims\nMy aim is that my students should/can…. by the end of this lesson.\nAims should reflect what you hope the students will be able to do, not what you are going to do. Lesson aims should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timed (SMART). Include what language and skills the students are going to be focusing on.\nHere are some examples:\n1) The students can speak spontaneously and fluently about something that may provoke the use of words and phrases they have been learning recently.\n2) The students can read both for gist and for detail.\n3) The students can talk about what people have ‘done wrong’ in the past, using the should (not) have + done construction.\n4) The students can think of the interview genre and list the kinds of questions which are asked in such a situation.\n5) The students will be able to say what they have been doing using the present tense perfect continuous tense.\n3. Assumptions\nWhat are the assumptions on which the lesson is based? What do students know and what can students do already?\nHere are some examples:\n1) I assume that students, having previously worked with the third conditional (would have done), will have little trouble with the grammar of should have done.\n2) I assume that students will be able to come up with appropriate interview questions.\n3) I assume students will be able to think of things they want to take into space with them, since in a previous lesson they talked about packing to go away.\n4. Rationale\nHow did you choose the aims for this group of students? Why did you choose the particular lesson procedure or teaching method for this group of students? Provide a\nrationale. Consider their interest, level, age, goals, class size, needs, etc. This is where you should reference our class readings (or any other relevant research).\n5. Potential learner problems and possible solutions\nWhat potential problems and pitfalls can you predict? Can you suggest ways of dealing with them? Here’s an example:\nAnticipated problems Possible solutions\nStudents may not be able to think of items take to a space station with them for Activity 1. I will keep my eyes open and go to prompt any individuals who look\n‘vacant’ or puzzled with questions about what music, books, pictures, etc. they might want to take.\nStudents may have trouble contracting ‘should not have’ in Activity 4. I will do some isolation and distortion work until they can say /ʃʊdntəv/\n6. Source of material\nDescribe the materials you adapted and used in the lesson.\n7. Success indicators\nList how you will know whether or not your students have been successful. This is to evaluate whether the lesson aims have been achieved.\nExample:\nStudents can confidently produce unprompted sentences about what people should have done, or perhaps give fluent and convincing answers in an interview role-play\nsituation.\n8. Timetable fit\nExplain where the lesson fits in a sequence of classes – what happens before and after it.\nExample:\nIn the past three lessons, the students have been discussing the issues of journeys and traveling – how people adapt to different traveling environments. They have\nlistened to an interview with someone who lives in a bus and travels around the country looking for places to park it. They have been looking at vocabulary and\nexpressions related to traveling. They have re-visited a number of past tenses, including hypothetical past (third) conditions (If he hadn’t lost his job, he wouldn’t\nhave sold his house).\nNext week the class will start working on a ‘crime and punishment’ unit which includes a courtroom role-play, work on crime-related lexis and passive\nconstructions.\n9. Lesson plan\nOutline the activities and procedures for the lesson and the times you expect each of them to take. Include the aids you are going to use and show the different\ninteractions which will take place in the class (see the ‘symbol’ shorthand below). If you’re focusing on a specific language form, give the model sentences you are\ngoing to use and list any details (such as phonemic features) which you expect to focus on (or draw students’ attention to).\nT = teacher; S = an individual students; T-> C = the teacher working with the whole class; S,S,S = students working on their own; S<->S = student working in pairs;\nSS<–> SS = pairs of students in discussion with other pairs; GG = students working in groups\nActivity/Aids Interaction Procedure Time\n1 Group decision-making T-> C T tells SS to list five things they would take into space with them (apart from essentials). 1’’\n2 Pen and paper S,S,S SS make their lists individually. 2’’\n3 S<–>S In pairs, SS have to negotiate their items to come up with a shared list of only five items to take to a space station. 3’’\n4 SS<–>SS (GG) Pairs join with other pairs. The new groups have to negotiate their items to come up with a shared list of only five items to take to a\nspace station.\n4’’\n5 T<–> GG T encourages the groups to compare their lists. 3’’\nActivity/Aids Interaction Procedure Time\n1 Language study T-> C T elicits sentences based on the previous ‘problem identification’ session:\nShe shouldn’t have been rude to Cathy.\nShe should have looked at the record book.\nShe should have told the others where she was going.\nShe shouldn’t have switched off his radio.\nHe should’ve done something about it.\nHe shouldn’t have closed the exit door. 1’’\n2 Textbook page 113/board T<–>S,S,S T has SS say the sentences, and may do individual/class work on the pronunciation of the shortened form, e.g. /ʃʊdəv/ –\nshould’ve, and /ʃʊdntəv/ – shouldn’t have.."}

{"text": "In case you don’t know, Citrix Systems had to make the heavy choice of laying off a number of their employees from their office in North Carolina. Citrix themselves believes the layoffs are only impacting 10% of the office. The bigger restructuring is within the company and therefore, could very well indicate that some full-time employees and consolidating facilities will approve a plan to restructure how the company works.\nThe effort will allow Citrix anywhere between $130 million to $240 million from where $90 million is likely to apply towards employee severance costs. Certainly, the Raleigh office is actually possessive of 700 employees and counting. The layoffs occur from after Elliot Management got themselves a $1 billion stake in Citrix. Elliot Management has a track record of shaking up companies.\nFurthermore, Citrix has software that allows employees to access their desktop computers, virtually.\nTherefore, it has enjoyed success during the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, with a new subscription model, the case may have been that a stock price declination has resulted in a lesser amount of shares. In which case, Citrix fell to 4.3% to $85.80, post-announcement. In the past year alone, the stock price has hit its own bottom, with a 27% drop. Citrix interim CEO, Bob Calderoni made it known to analysts that a restructure would allow the company growth to return. He believes that while change is on the way, restructuring is likely to focus on the company’s sales division.\n“We’ve got too many instances where we have too many people getting compensated on the same deal. I don’t think that’s a good thing. I think that not only adds more cost, I think it also takes away sales capacity at the same time.” Finally, his plan is to remove distractions that risk depressed margins and growth. Maybe not the most surprising news this year but it does suck that the downsizing has hit so many Raleighites."}

{"text": "Kosovo: a war crimes trial\nMy confident guess is that 75% of the westerners who notice a headline about a war crimes trial concerning Kosovo will automatically assume that the defendants facing war crimes charges are Serbs, with their unsavoury reputation for ethnic cleansing and attendant brutalities. Actually the chief defendant who went on trial last week is a Kosovo Albanian, a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army (freedom fighters or separatist terrorists, according to taste) whose violent campaign against Serbian rule provoked the disproportionately savage Serbian repression which in turn led to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, which in turn aggravated and accelerated the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo by the Serbs and drove thousands of Kosovo Albanians into squalid refugee camps in neighbouring countries (note: this happened after the start of the NATO bombing, which can't therefore be justified as having been designed to stop it).\nAccording to an AP report of 2 March 2007 in the International Herald Tribune, —\nFormer Kosovo Prime Minister and rebel commander Ramush Haradinaj pleaded innocent Thursday at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal to charges of involvement in the murder, rape and torture of Serbs and suspected Serb collaborators in the province's 1998-1999 war.\nHaradinaj is scheduled to go on trial starting Monday together with two other former KLA fighters, Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj. Prosecutors say all three were part of a criminal plot to drive Serbian forces out of the Western Kosovo region of Dukagjin.\nThe trio sat impassively as presiding judge Alphons Orie read out a total of 37 war crimes charges against them, including multiple counts of murder, persecution and torture against each. A conviction on any charge could carry a sentence of up to life in prison….\nRamush turned to politics after the war and was prime minister for 100 days before being indicted by U.N. prosecutors in 2005.\nThe same report mentions in passing that —\nAfter NATO air strikes against Serb forces ended fighting in 1999, Haradinaj transformed himself from a tough KLA commander — prosecutors say ruthless — into a political leader… [my emphasis — BLB]\n— thus once again helping to perpetuate the myth that it was the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia that \"ended fighting in 1999\". Actually the NATO bombing did no such thing; it accomplished nothing but the killing of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of innocent civilians, the destruction of much of the economic infrastructure of Belgrade and neighbouring countries, and the inevitable revival of Serbian nationalistic support for the crook Milosevic. What ended the Serbian repression in Kosovo and some (but not all) of the ruthless activities of the KLA was the constructive and flexible behind-the-scenes diplomacy of the emissaries of the US and Russian governments and of the then President of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari. But the myths are well on the way to being accepted as historical truth. (Don't blame me: I've tried to do my tiny bit to stem this tide, as you can see from e.g. this, and in more detail this. But it's hopeless.)\nBrian\nAfter they had negotiated a hand over to the UN, with a guarantee that the KLA would be disarmed & Yugoslav sovererignty respected, the UN became a flag of convenience for NATO who did not disarm the openly genocidal KLA but allowed them to ethnically cleanse 350,000 (including Roma & Jews), murder many thousands (the decision of our media to censor any reporting of the Dragodan massacre of 210 people, comparable to My Lai, is particularly obscene) & run a profitable sideline in kidnapped schoolgirls. Nato are now trying to get the Security Council to end Serb sovereignty.\nBrian writes: I don't know about the details, but this sounds broadly right. There's an interesting but sobering commentary by Simon Tisdall on the whole issue here. At last some scepticism about the official version of what happened in Kosovo (and in the rest of Yugoslavia) in 1999 is beginning to seep in. What a mess!"}

Texas, the court ruled 5-4 that when a suspect doesnt persons corporations patent rights over them, since they were genetically-modified and considered Monsantos intellectual property. Since Bowman replicated the companys intellectual property, he was sued for nearly $85,000.00 in damages. Bowman contended that existing patent law did not cover life forms, and that he had broken no laws. If they dont want me to go to the elevator and buy that grain, then Congress should pass a law saying you cant gives corporations the leverage they need to punish consumers for breaking laws that dont really accurately cover modern technologies like genetically-modified lifeforms and computer software.\nLastly was the Maryland v.

It'll mean big bucks and larger staffs... and a loss of interest in making sure the thugs who run our country are following the law.\nIt's bad.\nNewton’s Third Law of Physics: “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.” When that reaction comes, it will be awful.

Unless and until this regime is stopped, it will continue.\nThe War on Drugs was started by Nixon, and the actual prohibition of drugs was started in the 1930s after the prohibition of alcohol was ended, I think.\nThe militarization of the police has been going on for decades (Waco was during Bush1 and Clinton), the TSA was created under Bush II, during which time the Patriot Act was passed.\nThe Supreme Court has justices appointed by both GOP and Donks who continually give a green light to abusive police practices that any normal reading of the Bill of Rights would prohibit.\nSo, I would respectfully submit that while getting rid of Obozo would be a good thing for a huge variety of reasons it's not clear to me that it will do anything to reverse the USA turning into a police state. It seems like both parties are participating in the ratchet movement against the rights of citizens. GOPers often support \"tough on crime\" legislation, that includes expanded police powers, while the Donks attack every other form of civil rights imaginable, from property ownership to food regulation.\nWould any of the current crop of GOP Presidenital hopefuls reverse any of this? Looking backwards: it was not an issue that McCain or Romney cared about. Looking forwards: Gov Christie Creme is an authoritarian, not sure about Scott Walker or the other Govs. Ted Cruz hasn't spent any time speaking out against the WOD (which many here on FR still support, I'm pretty sure).\nSo, it's worse than just Obama, sadly.\nCan't believe that the bootlickers and nanny state’ers haven't shown up to defend their beloved cops and bureaucrats. And where are all the War on Drugs defenders? The war on the murderer Chris Dorner was a hot(no pun intended) topic around here for several days. Heck, you would have thought is was just fine to burn someone alive intentionally. And to shoot up unarmed and innocent civilians who were doing nothing more than going about their daily lives. Collateral damage, I think they call it.\nWarrant less searches? Just fine, with as far as I can tell, probably 50% of members here.\nOh well, safety and security before liberty.......\nYep...it’s true.

I know of many who pray for the end of the world, and destruction of most of humanity, mostly from the Fundamentalist who do the same with Dogma as the Communists do. Both promote Dogma.\nDon't think for a minute that Fundmentalist Religion and Communism are on opposite ends of a field. From where I stand, their both next to each other, on the other end of the pasture.\nDirectly to my right are Conservatives that value order and tradition, to the left are Liberals who seek to improve and build a better world. We look at those covorting gleefully, as dangerous lunatics that need to be kept at a distance ( but within view for safety's sake ).\nI'm looking for a few Pragmatists on TV today, as I listen to pundets tear apart speaches and plans. I think it's going to work out for the better, because our Political System actually works when people are williing to compromise. That's the good news on this Sunday morning, people are willing to compromise.\nThe bad news; There's a ship in Somalia that has something very nasty on board.

{"text": "From the late 1980s onward, the African political landscape was trans- formed as one-party states, personal dictatorships, and military rule gave way to multiparty politics. If independence was the continent's first liberation, many saw the 1990s as democracy's second coming. Between 1989 and 1994, thirty five sub-Saharan African countries reintroduced multiparty elections, bringing political openings to around 500 million people. By 2010, only Eritrea and Swaziland had failed to hold multiparty polls of some kind. The timing of this second liberation makes it tempting to interpret political change in Africa as a by-product of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War; an aftershock of the seismic changes in the international landscape which, for a short while, alleviated the security concerns of Western governments, making them more willing to promote democracy abroad. However, democracy was never simply granted by international actors: it had to be won through the blood and sweat of domestic opposition groups and the sacrifices of ordinary people.\nThe extent of democratization in a given country was thus shaped by both international pressure and the domestic context. But these two factors did not operate independently of each other, because the success of international efforts depended on the presence of a strong domestic pro-reform constituency, and vice versa. It was more legitimate, and hence easier, for foreign governments to intervene when they could point to an active and large pro-democracy movement. Conversely, civil society campaigns, strikes, and the like were more effective when foreign actors used their influence to protect protestors from repression. Genuine democratization was therefore most likely to occur when a united and effective domestic opposition met with a supportive international community.\nThe Roots of the Third Wave\nThe collapse of authoritarian rule in Africa began years before protestors took to the streets in Benin, with the financial meltdown of the 1980s."}

{"text": "WASHINGTON (AP) -.\nThis ballooning market, Brown argued, presents unprecedented\nopportunities, so long as governmental leaders understand that\ntheir economic policies are felt all over the world.\n\"Should we succumb to a race to the bottom and a protectionism\nthat history tells us that, in the end, protects no one?\" Brown\nsaid to members of the House and Senate gathered together for his\ntalk. \"No,\" he declared.\n\"We should have the confidence that we can seize the\nopportunities ahead and make the future work for us,\" Brown added.\nThe prime minister's address, attended by the customary\nparliamentary procedures and introductory niceties so well known to\nCongress, was the first by a foreign leader since President Barack\nObama took office. It came as both Brown and Obama struggle to\nincrease investor confidence and repair damage to markets battered\nby the U.S. housing crisis.\nIt also came as Brown, who trails behind the conservative\nopposition in British opinion polls, was looking for his own\npolitical boost. Supporters had hoped his appearance this week with\nthe popular U.S. president and plans to lead an international\neconomic summit next month would help shore up support for the\nprime minister.\nBrown's remarks were greeted with thunderous applause by U.S.\nlawmakers assembled in the cavernous House chamber. Following the\nspeech, Brown was embraced by Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., whose\nfather Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., had been awarded honorary\nknighthood by Britain.\nThroughout his speech, Brown spoke of Americans' optimism in the\nface of tough times, with nods to President Franklin D. Roosevelt\nand President Ronald Reagan, as well as to Obama. On Jan. 20, when\nObama took office, Brown said that billions of people looked to\nWashington \"as a shining city upon a hill,\" invoking a famous\nReagan line.\nBrown referenced President George W. Bush once, noting his work\non Middle East peace talks. In declaring a new era of\ntrans-Atlantic relations, Brown took a swipe at Bush's defense\nsecretary, Donald Rumsfeld, who once branded European critics of\nthe Iraq war as \"Old Europe.\"\n\"There is no old Europe, no new Europe,\" Brown declared on\nWednesday. had met privately with Obama earlier in the week at the\nWhite House, where the two discussed the economy and the war in\nAfghanistan. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said he did not\nknow if Obama saw Brown's speech to Congress, but added that the\npresident believes the two countries share a \"very special\nrelationship\" and \"face many common challenges.\"\nDespite a warm reception in Washington, Brown's remarks drew\nswift rebukes back home. Vince Cable, deputy leader of the Liberal\nDemocrats, Britain's third party, said the prime minister should be\nfocused on domestic problems rather than trying to win favor with\nAmericans.\n\"The prime minister spent over a decade actively promoting a\nfinancial system devoid of morality and cuddling up to the bankers\nwho have caused this crisis, so his newfound desire for moral\nmarkets smacks of hypocrisy,\" Cable said.\nCopyright 2014 Associated Press.

{"text": "Title\nIntrinsic and synaptic plasticity in the vestibular system.\nDate of Original Version\n8-1-2006\nType\nArticle\nPubMed ID\n16842990\nAbstract or Description\nThe vestibular system provides an attractive model for understanding how changes in cellular and synaptic activity influence learning and memory in a quantifiable behavior, the vestibulo-ocular reflex. The vestibulo-ocular reflex produces eye movements that compensate for head motion; simple yet powerful forms of motor learning calibrate the circuit throughout life. Learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex depends initially on the activity of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar flocculus, but consolidated memories appear to be stored downstream of Purkinje cells, probably in the vestibular nuclei. Recent studies have demonstrated that the neurons of the vestibular nucleus possess the capacity for both synaptic and intrinsic plasticity. Mechanistic analyses of a novel form of firing rate potentiation in neurons of the vestibular nucleus have revealed new rules of plasticity that could apply to spontaneously firing neurons in other parts of the brain.\nDOI\n10.1016/j.conb.2006.06.012\nPublished In\nCurrent opinion in neurobiology, 16, 4, 385-390."}

Moreover, what counts as basic nowadays feature gets more and more demanding. What worked yesterday, doesn’t work today. And in this aspect, Naughty Find still has a lot of work to do.

At least you will know what is happening when you have an additional tab open. In case you want to know if you can meet couples on Naughty Find – yes, you can. Also gay and straight people. The site welcomes everyone, but makes hooking up for men and women who want to have classic sex dates a bit more difficult.\nNormally, you can use a private chat, and this is a place where you can clear out any confusion about who is looking for what. As you can see, nothing comes without some good effort invested, and no extra features. Probably the smartest strategy that reveals under the circumstances is just leaving the site for testing and checkups to someone who has time for feedback.\nSearch Options\nHaving in mind that there only about one hundred thousand people joined, even if you are Google itself, it is not always up to the searching method but more up to the available pool for searching. On top of that, the poor membership is spread across several dating interests and sexual preferences which makes finding the right match as complected as it sounds. And what if you live in a small city? Unless you are into long rides, just move to another top awarded site. The awarded Snapsext comes to mind lately often and is a new favorite of our editor’s team.\nCost-Benefit Comparison\nThe basic membership is free but the previews are not existent, so there is not much value to this basic membership. It seems that there is some limited data that says what are the members up to and gives their preferred sexual category, but nothing much on top of that. If you are used to standard monthly fees, you will be less than happy wit the return of the same on Naughty Find. What’s weird it that much of the bonus features are also missing and seriously devalue the site”s worth. No one said it is easy to ride with the best out there and the content creators at Naughty Find still have plenty to learn if they want to stay on the market.\nSafety\nSafety traits of Naughty Find seem decent – perhaps even a bit over the top. This is an adult friend finder that for sure lures on the safe side. Which makes having fun a bit more difficult. Not a lot of nude photos – on the contrary, members seem prudish and careful. Profile email verification is mandatory for everyone. Worriers and vigilant users may rest assured that every security aspect is taken care of. All personal info is with a one-of-a-kind user name and password. Overall, basic security is well kept.\nBottom Line\nPros:\n- Smart matching system\n- Increased safety\n- Varied flirting options\n- Notifications for most activity\nCons:\n- Very limited number of members\n- Several picture restrictions\n- Lack of free feature previews\n- No added content\n- Scattered member directory across many preferences\nConclusion\nUnless you have a lot of free time on your hands, wasting it on Naughty Find is not recommended. Results will be less than spectacular and if you are into some quick arrangements, skip it altogether. Don’t say we didn’t warn you – it is way more worthwhile to use a famous dating resource such as Fling to have all your needs met. Save the experimenting and, this time, go for the classic."}

{"text": "April 16, 2017\nIt is Easter here in Thailand today and this is what greeted us as we went to breakfast this morning!\nWe were in Phuket last cruise and this is where Norm lost his glasses at a temple. Never to be found. We also visited an elephant camp and Norm got up close and personal. This time we decided to do a trip to town (and it is about a 20 minute ride by taxi). It is the last day of the Thai New Year (Songkran) so we didn’t know how crowded things might be or whether shops, etc, would be open. I was looking for a spa day to have nails and pedicure and a massage if we had time. Fortunately traffic was pretty light.\nSo, we hired a cab driver who said he would take us everywhere for $20 US. First we went to the Gems Gallery, fortunately beating most of the crowds. I bought a necklace and bracelet here last time and the bracelet turned out to be too big so I wanted it resized. They gladly did that, and they assign a person to walk (follow) you around. We really didn’t want anything else, I looked a bit just to be polite and then we went to have a cup of coffee and back to our cab driver, Wikit.\nHe told us about a lovely spa and after I asked whether they did nails (my pressing need) he said yes and drove us there. It was beautiful.. but they didn’t do nails. So we went back to the place at Central Festival that the rep on the ship told us about. But not before I took this picture of Gansesha at the spa.\nThe island of Phuket has long been misunderstood. First, the “h” is silent (and Ray, our cruise director, warned us so we wouldn’t get embarrassed by saying it the way it is spelled!!). Of course we knew better already. And, Phuket doesn’t feel like an island, it is the biggest in Thailand so you rarely get the sense that you are surrounded by water. This is a popular tourist destination – it is named the “pearl of the Andaman” by marketing execs and it does live up to its name.\nI had a lovely gel nail manicure and a pedicure and the cost is almost embarrassing to print. Let’s just say it was 1/8 of what I would have paid on the ship.\nThen we had lunch – one order of prawn pad thai and one pork rad na with iced tea for $8.36 US. This dad and his adorable daughter stopped by and I just had to have a picure – he told his daughter, in English “tourists” and he wanted to know where we were from. There were no non Asian people in the restaurant so I guess we stood out.\nI did a little shopping in a wonderful Thai shop and on our way back out to the cab (he returned to pick us up), we spotted what many tour guides refer to as “the American Embassy”, McDonalds. But Ronald looked different here.\nWe met some friendly security guards, and they wanted their picture taken too!\nOne of our friends on the ship, the other Norman, got this gift for Norm – because he thought it looked like Norm’s bow ties. It is a lavender eye mask, as you can see! Norm snored when he put it on, so I guess lavender really does help you sleep.\nTomorrow we have a sea day (and an Around the World dinner) and then we head to Myanmar for three days. We will be off the ship for one night as we fly to Mandalay.\nIt was good that Norm didnt loose anther pair of glasses…. what a fun day and you even got a manicure and peddimrrrrrrrrrrrrrr\nLoving your blogging and living the eye mask even more ! 😄"}
