{"text": "“Kiss from a Rose” is a song by Seal from his second eponymous album. The song was first released as a single in July 1994. Re-released in 1995, it was included on the Batman Forever film soundtrack, helping it top the charts in the U.S. and Australia. At the 1996 Grammy Awards, it won awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.\nLyrics:\nI’ve been kissed by a rose on the grey\nI’ve been kissed by a rose on the grey\nAnd if I should fall, will it all go away?\nI’ve been kissed by a rose on the grey\nThere is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say\nYou remain my power, my pleasure, my pain\n……\n“Kiss from a Rose” was written in 1987, several years prior to the release of Seal’s eponymous debut album from 1991. After writing.”\n“Kiss from a Rose” was the second single taken from the Batman Forever film soundtrack, and topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for one week in August 1995. It also went to number four on the UK Singles Chart. The single originally made it to #20 in 1994, but upon being re-released after being featured in the film, it reached the top position. It also won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie in the 1996 edition. Seal talked about the long, strange journey that the song went through on The Brian McKnight Show season finale that aired 30 May 2010. He described how the song initially dropped out of the charts shortly after its release. Joel Schumacher subsequently called Seal, and requested use of the song to play over a love scene between the characters played by Nicole Kidman and Val Kilmer in Batman Forever. Although the song was eventually not incorporated into this scene, it was instead used to play over the end credits; Seal believes this change contributed to the song’s eventual popularity.\nCover versions\n- Guitarist John Williams performed an instrumental version for his 1996 album John Williams Plays The Movies.\n- The King’s Singers recorded a version of the song on their 1999 album Circle of Life.\n- Hank Marvin covered the song on his 2000 album Marvin at the Movies.\n- Irish vocal trio Trinití recorded a cover version for their first self-titled album.\n- Katherine Jenkins recorded her version of the track in her 2007 album Rejoice.\n- Jack Black performed a cover version on an American Idol charity special in 2007. The judges (Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell) each gave joke reviews of the performance (Randy said he wasn’t feeling it, but that it would help if Black got better pants; Paula gave a negative review, while Simon said that Black sounded better than Sanjaya Malakar). However, Seal had stood up for Black and said it was “the best rendition of Kiss from a Rose [he] ever heard”.\n- The Finnish band Northern Kings covered the song on their second album Rethroned.\n- French Canadian singer Bruno Pelletier covered the song for his 2007 tour of Bruno Pelletier et le GrosZorchestre.\n- Idina Menzel covered the song during her 2008 Fall tour promoting her album I Stand.\n- Welsh male voice choir Only Men Aloud! also sang an arrangement by Tim Rhys-Evans & Jeffrey Howard on the BBC 1 Show Last Choir Standing in 2008. They subsequently released it on their self-titled début album.\n- A Jazz interpretation is performed by Julia Hülsmann Trio on their album The End of a Summer.\n- U.S. soul singer Jazmine Sullivan covered the song for French TV show Taratata. Her performance first aired on 15 May 2009 on French TV and is also available online on Taratata’s official website.\n- Lee DeWyze performed a cover version as his “Songs from the Movies” category entry in the ninth season of American Idol. DeWyze went on to become the winner in the competition.\n- Swedish rock band April Divine have also a cover of this, and it was released upon their album Redemption (2010).\n- Vocalist Darlene Koldenhoven recorded her arrangement of Kiss from a Rose on her 2011 CD, Solitary Treasures.\n- Folk rock band The Becca Stevens Band, featuring bassist Chris Tordini, released a cover of this in 2011 on their album Weightless.\n- A hard-rock version of the song can be found on the 2012 record Beautiful Alien by Atom Smash.\n- 12 Stones released a cover of the song online in 2012.\n- Head Control System released a cover version of the song on their official MySpace.\n- Japanese artist Angela Aki’s rendition included Japanese lyrics on her fourth single “This Love”.\n- A karaoke version of the song was featured in an episode of the third season of the NBC television series Community titled “Studies in Modern Movement”, performed by Jim Rash as Dean Pelton and Joel McHale as Jeff Winger.\n- The song appears on Hallelujah – Live by Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Kurt Nilsen, and Alejandro Fuentes.\n- In 2010 New York City’s leading post post-feminist feminist all-female pop French Horn quartet Genghis Barbie, used Evan Kuhlmann’s Bassoon quartet arrangement adapted for French Horn on their debut CD.\n- In 2013, Straight No Chaser covered the song with Seal on their Under the Influence album.\n- In 2015, a chiptune cover was made by Fearofdark using 0CC-FamiTracker. Fearofdark has also released the source files which allows users to play the track on their local Nintendo Soundfont emulator and FamiTracker programs.\nCultural references\n- In season 2, episode 7 (“A Bottle of Jean Nate”) of Shameless, “Kiss from a Rose” is revealed as Jody’s go-to love-making song; he’s first seen having sex with Karen while listening to the song, and later to Sheila, Karen’s mother.\n- In season 5, episode 7 (“The Gang Wrestles for the Troops”) of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dee plans to greet a returning U.S. soldier she’s been chatting with online with her alias “Desert Rose” by bringing roses, dressing up in a red dress with green stockings, and playing Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”. When Dee runs away because he’s in a wheelchair, Frank ends up playing the song and giving the soldier a gift of jean shorts for his services and salutes him, making the moment awkward for the soldier.\n- In season 3, episode 7 of Community, Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) and dean Craig Pelton (Jim Rash) are seen singing “Kiss from a Rose”. Later in the episode the rest of the characters make fun of Jeff since the dean has tweeted their duet.\n- In season 5, episode 17 (“The Death Of The Queen Bee”) of Bones, the song is featured in Temperance’s reunion where she and Booth do a slow dance to the song. As the song starts in the background, Brennan eagerly requests Booth to dance with her, saying “Can we dance, Booth? It’s Seal!”\n- Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) sings the song in the 2015 film Vacation.\nSeal\nimage by Roman Stepanenko\nPingback: Song of the Day: Kiss from a Rose by Seal | Finding Harmony in Art and Design"}

{"text": "Hi all,\nWondering if anyone can help. We are just starting our annual print project. It's a reference book of approx. 3500 pages, however we break it down into alpha letters. So, each chunk varies between 100 to 300 pages (some 400pgs). Last year, with PE 7.0 it took approx. 15-20 min to generate approx. 150 pages. This year, it's taking almost an hour (we upgraded to 7.1, not sure if that has anything to do with it) At this rate, we'll never finish on schedule.\nEvery time we make a correction (pagination stage) we have to regenerate the PDF. An hour each time... yikes. Note that we comment out some of the topics as we go along to help with performance, but by the time you get to the end of the letter, you are generating 100+ pages.\nThe PE engine is installed on it's own server on a HOST (ESX VMware).\n24 GB Memory, 2 CPUs, 1 core/socket, 2 total Cores, 1 NICs, 275.58 GB Used Space, 374.16 GB Provisioned Space.\nIn doing some research looks like we have one sub-process, the default.\nWe have some acl's creating an RDS document. But before the RDS is created with run some xsl's to resolve some of the xrefs, then the RDS is created via our acl functions. Note that the acls haven't changed much since last year.\nAny insights on how we could improve this process, performance?\nAny advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.\nDarquise.\nHas anyone noticed any performance differences between 7.0 & 7.1?\nWe have not identified any major performance differences between these versions in our use of the software.\nOur network administrators upgraded to 4 processors and upgraded the RAM to 32GB (was 24GB). Still no improvement whatsoever!\nFirstly, the reason that upgrading CPU core count and memory size doesn't help is that those are not the bottlenecks. The bottleneck is that the process of creating a PDF is single-threaded, that means it will run on a single CPU core only. This is because you cannot create a PDF page without first creating the page before it, to see where the text ended. So each PDF page is assembled sequentially.\nWithout making any software changes, the only thing you can do in hardware to speed things up is to use a faster-clocked CPU on a more modern CPU architecture. We have noticed in cloud computing and even in modern data centres the trend is towards CPU core count as opposed to CPU clock speed, so you may struggle to find a faster CPU offering. Moving from VM back to a physical server with fastest CPU available is the best hardware option for performance. (We have had instances of our developer's laptops publishing PDF much faster than client's massively expensive data centre servers due to this difference)\nThe more technically \"proper\" fix is to look more closely at the software. On the software side you would need to do some profiling of the publishing process to gather metrics and identify where the slowdowns are occurring. We have seen instances where a single poorly-written XPath query has slowed systems to a grind. You may be able to make tweaks or adjustments in Styler or ACL code to improve performance.\nFinally, for some clients with very demanding needs, we have moved them from Styler publishing to pure APP publishing. This can result in up to 10x performance increase, as we craft the publishing code to precisely suit the input data and PDF format.\nThis type of debugging, updating, and tuning does get quite involved, if you need help there are commercial organisations that specialise in PE/APP publishing work. This is not a sales pitch but our business, GPSL, is perhaps the most skilled in this area. Visit if you need more information.\nIt looks like we'll need to look at software because I ran many different tests with no success. Our hardware, even though they are VM are fairly new. The CPU's are 2.40 GHz per processor (4vCPU * 2.40GHz). We tested the performance while generating a 100pg PDF and it was ok. Currently, our stylesheet is using the APP engine. Is that different than Styler publishing? I did run same test with PE & another with Styler and with styler it was 50% faster. But still takes 30 min for 100 pages (instead of 55min).\nWe'll have a close look at the stylesheet to see if we can find what's slowing it down.\nPE and Styler run the same publishing code under the covers. The Styler stylesheets are basically a generic format that are \"compiled\" down to an executable form such as APP, FOSI, XSLT (for HTML), etc. For PDF output, only the APP engine is supported, FOSI remains available but is not supported. If you have no source edits you can switch between APP and FOSI but expect the output PDF to look different.\nThe 2.4GHz CPUs are pretty standard for data centre processing, they make perfect sense as a balance between power consumption, thermal profile, performance. To really boost things you'd want a CPU with a base clock above 3GHz, and on latest architecture. Essentially look for the fastest available from those Xeon processors marked as \"14nm\" in the following list:\nIn our experience it is pretty rare to find fast CPUs in data centres due to the higher power consumption and high thermal profile.\nI forgot to update on this issue. With our testing, we found that the performance in 7.0 was much faster than in 7.1. PTC was able to replicate the issue and are working on a solution.\nThanks for the update! Very interested to learn the root cause so we can determine if any of our clients will be affected.\nRegarding FOSI, for the record this problem would not occur with a FOSI stylesheet (with or without Styler). Documents with thousands of pages can be formatted quickly in their entirety with FOSI.\nFor example, my book Practical FOSI (for sale at fosiexpert.com/Practical-FOSI.html) has >900 pages, including hundreds of tables, graphics, TOCs, and cross-references plus a three-level index. It formats (using Print Composer on a laptop) in ~3 minutes, and PDF creation takes about the same amount of time.\nIf desired, a FOSI stylesheet can be coded with a formatting pass reduction feature that increases the already fast formatting speed. (Formatting pass reduction is described in Arbortext Help and in my book.)\nOtherwise, optimization for speed is not an issue when developing a FOSI stylesheet. Optimization is handled by the Arbortext software."}

{"text": "About Conference 2018\nOn December 7th 2018, the fifth International Scientific Conference FINIZ “The Role of Financial and Non-Financial Reporting in Responsible Business Operation” was successfully held at Singidunum University in Belgrade.\nThe conference encouraged experts and academics from the field of economics to research various case studies and propose new financial solutions so as to network world financial trends and challenges in the field of risk management.\nAt this year’s FINIZ 2018 conference, within the plenary and Accounting and Auditing sessions, the Project including the Support to the Corporate Financial Reporting Reform, the Provision of Consulting Services in the Field of Use and Implementation of the IFRS, IFRS for SMEs and MSR, as well as the organization of events and activities, with the goal of enhanced understanding and use of financial reporting in the Republic of Serbia (“Account for Support”) was presented. The project is a part of the Program for Reform of Accounting and Institutional Strengthening (REPARIS), funded by the donations provided by the Government of the Swiss Confederation. The Project Holders are: PwC Serbia, Singidunum University Belgrade, PwC Hungary and AARC Ltd. Singidunum University is a member of the Consortium who was elected as a Consultant to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia. The Accounting session addressed the quality of financial reporting, which depends on various factors. Special attention is paid to taxes, the motivation of business entities, i.e. the shareholders and managers, as well as the understanding of the audit as investment rather than cost. In the end, it was pointed out that its independence is crucial for the quality of the audit.\nThe Association of Internal Auditors of Serbia (UIRS) held a special session within the FINIZ 2018 conference. The speakers agreed that it is desirable that organizations, in addition to regular reporting, apply voluntary and non-financial reporting. The problem is that, at present, there is no generally accepted standard for non-financial reporting. Unlike European, our legislation has no adopted or accepted definition of non-financial information; laws do not strictly regulate the compilation of non-financial reporting and the structure and mandatory content of corporate governance reports are not prescribed. A small number of companies voluntarily report in accordance with internationally recognized frameworks and guidelines.\nThe National Association of Appraisers of Serbia (NUPS) discussed the differences in the process of regulations interpretation in the field of real estate valuation and bankruptcy proceedings. The speakers agreed that it is necessary to harmonize the regulations from the aspect of the basic concepts used in laws and regulations that directly or indirectly concern the assessment of the value of real estate, but also other forms of property. Particular attention should be paid to the tax regulations and the value bases used to tax the possession and sale of immovable property.\nSignificant interest was caused by a panel discussion addressing the topic “Development of alternative forms of financing in Serbia” within the Financial Markets session. The goal of the panel was to open up the topics of the development of the capital market in Serbia through new financial instruments in an environment that is rapidly changing under the influence of the development of new technologies. The most important conclusion of the panel was that it was necessary to adopt the Strategic Plan for the development of the capital market in Serbia, which would define concrete measures for its development in all aspects: investing in the financial market, the tax aspect and listening of large domestic companies on the Belgrade Stock Exchange from the removal of the obstacle of entry.\nThe audience response to the Forensics session was great. Among precautionary measures, the panelists emphasized the importance of active prevention measures, one of the most important being whistleblowers protection. The panelists stressed that the implementation of whistleblower system, as well as the effective procedures that occur after an incident emerges, represent one of the most important factors that can make this active prevention measure become a way and a method of responding to all the unethical activities that employees notice in their organizations. The panelists also added that one of the most important characteristics that employees should possess is their integrity. Therefore, the integrity should be in the focus of the human resources department when recruiting, selecting and monitoring the development of employees in companies.\nVideo recording of the plenary session of the FINIZ 2018 conference is available at the following link."}

{"text": "The late Eydie Gorme was the first female pop vocalist to understand television's subliminal seductive powers. Just as Judy Garland had played coy with the movie camera to win a nation's heart, Gorme understood that her path to success depended on the after-dinner sofa set. She was impossibly talented—swinging a big clear, brassy voice that in pre-TV years would have meant a career on Broadway. She also was beautiful, in a different sort of way. She wasn't a blond and her features weren't pert like many high-visibility singers of her day. But her ease and irrepressible smile made TV viewers forget about where her parents came from—just as Nat King Cole's wide grin and suave body language worked the same magic with viewers.\nUnlike other female pop singers who wound up on television in the 1950s, Gorme was a relative newcomer. She wasn't an established solo singing star like Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting or Rosemary Clooney. She was an unknown belter with everything on the line, so when she appeared on Steve Allen's TV shows, she gave it her all. Her dark eyes turned to crescents, her cheekbones lifted and her body begged viewers to hear her out and give her a shot. Which they did.\nGorme's parents were Sephardic Jewish immigrants who settled in the Bronx, N.Y.—her father was from Sicily and her mother was from Turkey. To many urban apartment dwellers in the mid-1950s, Gorme reminded them of the Americanized daughter of the immigrant family down the hall, or the grocer's kid who helped out at the store and or everyone's upbeat older sister or young mom. There was youth in her face, love in her eyes and respect for her elders in the songs she sang. Guys fell in love with her innocence and confidence.\nBut by the late '50s, Gorme was no longer available. In 1957, she married Steve Lawrence, whose voice and natural, relaxed style were a perfect match. Overnight, the couple seemed to age rapidly in an era when youth increasingly was driving the culture. Gorme was an old soul—and seemed happy to be so. Many of the songs she recorded for ABC-Paramount in the late 1950s were parent-pleasers, not the music of her peers.\nAs a result, there was nothing particularly hip about Gorme. She could swing a song, but she didn't have Peggy Lee's dry-ice sultriness, Sarah Vaughan's sizzle, Lena Horne's movie-star looks or Jackie Cain's street smarts. Gorme was an entity all her own and in many ways, innocent and suburban.\nIn retrospect, a good number of Gorme's albums for ABC-Paramount were uneven—probably the result of domineering producers. The albums featured a few winners but most were larded with odd numbers that didn't seem to fit her chrome-and-fins brand. In some cases entire albums were misfires. Eydie in Dixieland and Eydie Gorme Vamps the Roaring 20s come to mind.\nGorme's voice also didn't seem to modulate much during her ABC years or come from a deeply personal place. Her vocals were always full throttle—like someone who was doing everything to win a job and continued to do so even after being hired.\nWhen Gorme moved to Columbia in 1963, much better work resulted. Her song choices were younger and fresher—though in some cases her voice seemed unable to comprehend the subtlety needed for the moody contemporary sound. The Look of Love (1968) is an example of this misreading.\nBut Gorme's work overall during this period was outstanding. For me, her best albums were Don't Go to Strangers (1966) and Softly, as I Leave You (1967), which fit her like soft leather gloves. The songs, the orchestrations and her delivery were breathtakingly perfect. The albums were arranged by Don Costa and conducted by Joe Guercio, who would go on to become Elvis Presley's orchestrator and conductor in the 1970s. Gorme aces every song on the albums, and the arrangements frame her delicously.\nMonday's obit in The New York Times hinted that rock and roll changed the game for Gorme in the late '60s, but the arrival of the Beatles and the Stones really had nothing to do with it. Gorme's main vinyl nemesis was Barbra Streisand, who also was signed to Columbia at the time and took pop to more personal places. Streisand was also more hands-on when it came to choosing material and making sure the label's suits didn't get lazy or distracted.\nGorme's other cultural nemesis in the mid-'60s was Cher, who also had an exotic look but was a child of the era and had won over teens with her laid back vocal style. It also was probably no accident that, like Steve and Eydie, Sonny and Cher went by their first names (or that Steve and Eydie were preceded on ABC by Jackie and Roy). By the late '60s, Gorme found herself penned in, generationally, and stuck with an aging record-buying audience.\nAnd yet Gorme remains perhaps the greatest of all pop singers, an artist who made you love her and root for her. She was an LP recording artist with a polished horn-like delivery, not a stage singer who screamed for the rafters. Gorme came of age when many urban parents still spoke with an accent and you had to push your way to the front to stand out. Though many of her recordings today sound a bit similar in their persistent brassiness, Gorme still lifts spirits and reminds us that talent once required gumption, grace and charm to succeed. The days of tantrums, arrests and rehab as promotional strategies by headliners would come later. For Gorme, every song was her only shot and an opportunity to make something of herself. Her albums may have been spotty but on television and on stage, no one could touch her.\nJazzWax tracks: Don't Go to Strangers and Softly, as I\nLeave You are available on a single CD here.\nJazzWax clip: Here's Gorme in all her show-stopping, big-buildup glory singing What Did I Have—one of the greatest pop songs of its era—from Don't Go to Strangers..."}

{"text": "Probiotics and Immunity\nWith cold and flu season approaching faster than you can say “Achoo,” you might be wondering how you can pump up your immunity to avoid the chills, fever, aches, and sniffles this year. Traditional wisdom would say “get your vitamin C” or “use that hand sanitizer!” But there is another way that you can help boost your immunity, and it comes in the form of friendly little bacteria: probiotics.\nWhy are Probiotics Important for My Health and Immune System?\nThere are several reasons why Probiotics are not only beneficial but also crucial to a person’s health and well-being. Specifically, our bodies constantly strive to maintain equilibrium. The bacteria in our bodies primarily get thrown off in two major ways: (1) by agents such as antibiotics (which kill friendly bacteria in the gut along with unfriendly bacteria); and (2) by unfriendly microorganisms such as disease-causing bacteria, yeast, fungi, and parasites.\nAlthough more research is needed, there’s encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:\n- Improve overall digestion processes\n- reduce the severity of colds and flu\n- fight off dangerous intestinal invaders\n- Irritable bowel syndrome\n- Reduce the recurrence of bladder cellular maladies\n- Fortify your body against existing conditions and illnesses\nHowever, what we shall be discussing today is how probiotics can strengthen the power of your immunity!\nDr. Earl Mindell, R.PH., M.PH., Ph.D., a world-wide best selling author, and considered the ultimate authority on vitamins, nutrition, and fitness states: “… our number one natural barrier against disease is broken down. That barrier is our colon. Almost 60% of our immune cells are in our intestinal tract. They are our first line of defense against all sorts of viruses, germs, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can ravage our bodies and make us ill. Thanks to food additives, preservatives, pesticides, and other toxins in our environment, our colons have become backed up sewers… A healthy digestive system and a clean colon will give you the most powerful boost to your health imaginable…..and quality Probiotics contain what is needed to fight the ever-growing list of colon harming chemicals in our food, water, and household goods.”\nSide effects are rare, and most healthy adults can safely add foods or supplements that contain Probiotics to their diet. Always check with your Doctor to see if adding a Probiotic supplement is right for you.\nWhat are Probiotics?\nProbiotics (commonly referred to as “friendly” bacteria) are live microorganisms that are similar to beneficial microorganisms naturally found in the human gut, especially in those of breastfed infants (who have natural protection against many diseases). Microorganisms are tiny living organisms—such as bacteria, viruses, and yeasts—that can be seen only under a microscope.\nin the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, but they also kill off good bacteria. The theory is that taking Bifidobacterium probiotics during antibiotic treatment can prevent or minimize the death of good bacteria and the take-over by bad bacteria.\nMost of the buzz around probiotics has been related to digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion. And this has been great for people who suffer from those types of conditions.\nA few less-known health concerns that probiotics may help with include treating and preventing eczema, treating and preventing vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections, and even reducing the recurrence of bladder cancer in some instances. And, a very important application for this time of year is the reduction in the severity of colds and flu.\nProbiotics Are Necessary\nFriendly bacteria and yeast are vital to proper development of the immune system because they serve as protection against harmful microorganisms that cause disease, and to the digestion and absorption of food and nutrients. but equally as important.\nProbiotics are not the same thing as prebiotics (non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms that already exist in people’s colons. Prebiotics essentially act as food for probiotics and are found in food such as whole grains, bananas, onions, garlic, honey, and artichokes; whereas probiotics are found in foods such as yogurt. When probiotics and prebiotics are mixed together, they form a symbiotic. Fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and kefir, are considered symbiotic because they contain live bacteria and the fuel they need to thrive.\nProbiotics Help Boost Your Immunity!\nIt’s been said that your health begins in your digestive system. The good bacteria that exist there contribute to health maintenance, mostly by forming a barrier against pathogens (i.e. “germs” such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi) and by aiding in nutrient digestion and assimilation. So by adding even more of these friendly bacteria into your system, you are double-protected against disease and illness.\nProbiotics have been shown to increase lymphocytes, which are the white blood cells that attack harmful matter and help fight off or prevent illness. And, they have also been shown to increase phagocytic activity in white blood cells. Phagocytic activity, or “cell eating,” means that your cells are actively eating harmful material they come in contact with – harmful material that may cause disease.\nAdditionally, probiotics are helpful if you’re taking antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection. The antibiotics will kill both bad and good bacteria, so it’s essential that you add the good bacteria back into your system to maintain immunity and overall health.\nAnd finally, probiotics may help protect those who have compromised immune systems, such as babies, the elderly, AIDS patients, and individuals receiving cancer treatments.\nMake Sure You’re Getting Enough Probiotics\nLike mentioned above, you can get probiotics through certain foods and via supplementation. A few words of caution for both of these sources: food sources such as yogurt often don’t contain enough probiotics, or enough live cultures to be beneficial (Most of the live cultures are lost during the pasteurization process). And with supplementation, you should also be cautious that you’re getting the most potent supplements available. Some on the market only contain a few million live cultures, whereas you can find other varieties with billions of live cultures.\nIn Conclusion…\nToday, we discussed:\n- What Probiotic are and how they improve digestion and strengthen the immune system\n- Why they’re necessary for helping our bodies regain and maintain equilibrium\n- How they work and how to take them with antibiotics\n- Probiotics vs. Prebiotics: How they’re different and how they mutually benefit each other\n- How to make sure you’re getting enough probiotics via food or supplementation to maintain immunity.\nInsider’s Health Exclusive –>>: Click Here to Find out The ONE “Weird Trick” that reduces your terminal disease risk by OVER 70% (and NONE of us are doing it)"}

{"text": "Today's Blind Items.\n51 comments:\nMarisa Tomei?\nLiza!!!!!\n(Actually, this isn't a juicy one at all. Sigh.)\nShirley MacLaine?\nNicole Kidman?\nhahaha\nSharon Stone.\nwow there are some dysfunctional bitches in h'wood. all these guesses and no two are the same.\nkathleen turner\nDebra Winger\nwhy did i think hilary swank....i know i'm wrong but she was gone for while, in hiding and was just out last week\nrenee zellwegger?\nMarisa Tomei rings for me too, Dee. She's won an Oscar and was also nominated for \"In the Bedroom\".\nI'm also pretty sure I've read she likes a drink or ten.\nI didn't get \"winning/nominated\" meant that the lady has been both a nominee AND a winner, but rather the lady is one or the other or both, that Enty isn't saying one way or the other which she is.\nAngelica Huston sprang to mind for me; she's always struck me as a harridan. I like the Kathleen Turner guess, though, too; word is it's hard to keep her sober on Broadway.\nCharlize Theron.\nDidn't she make an ass outta herself a little while back at an event and there were pics of her not looking very hot?\nOf course, I LOVE her! So what if she gets messy once in a while?\nSean Young\n@EchoMouse: Sean Young was most likely everyone's first thought, but she has no awards or nominations outside of (lots of!) Razzies.\nI was dying to say Sean Young, after that huge scene she caused at the DGA Awards when Julian Schnabel was speaking, but she's never won/been nominated for an Oscar, only a Razzie (which she won).\nmarisa the drunk\nI like to drain a jar of olives, fill it with cheap gin, and go at it with a spoon.\nI thought Sean Young at first but yeah, she's never been nominated let alone win. I heard that Marisa is a real bitch so being a drunk bitch isn't far off. LOL I still can't believe she won for my cousin vinny. I believe the urban legend that someone said the wrong name up there during the presentation. Didn't Jack Palance present her award? I say he was tanked or had a Alzeimer moment for sure.\nHey! Where's the Anne Hathaway anal sex jokes?\nI immediately thought Renee Z, but I have nothing to base my gut instinct on.\nI don't really care who it really is because I'm having so much fun imagining it is:\nMarisa Tomei\nHalle Berry\nGwynnie (it didn't say she could punch well, she probably just swung and fell over)\nHolly Hunter (she's little but she can pack 'em, and she's from Texas so you know there was trash-talking)\nKathy Bates\nSally Field (You hit me! You really really hit me!)\nOH this list goes on.\nAnyhoo, here is a link to a list of Oscar-winning actresses I found. I think we can rule out Kate Hepburn LOL:\nWell I see my guess Sean Young is incorrect. I have no other guess.\nI searched the site under Marisa Tomei and she was in Random Photos twice. These were the captions:\nJohn Cusack and Marisa Tomei? Maybe he's just keeping her upright.\nBest I have seen Marisa Tomei look in a long time and I heard she laid off the booze at the after party. Good for her.\n@BlahFrickinBlah: Snopes debunked that urban legend a looong time ago:\n@Mooshki: Me, too, but hold the olives. Just the jar and the gin!\nbinky, i took it the same way. nominated/won the same way enty says with child/children or is divorced/single. it's either/or. he doesn't want to make it too easy because he likes to mess with us that way....lol.\nLooks like Dee got it. Yay!\n@Mooshki:\nYes, but just a touch of cheap vermouth too. I like my quart o'martini a little dry.\n@Molly: \"he doesn't want to make it too easy\": As if this WERE too easy, without any freaking HINTS in it! I sit here combing through these things, looking for potential clues, like the word \"olive\" (\"Could that refer to Shelly Duvall, who was in 'Popeye'?\"), but this one was just too, too sparse. He could have thrown us a bone by letting us know whether she'd won, been nominated, or both, as it's not as if it would have narrowed the pool of potential answers all THAT much!\nI hadn't known Marisa Tomei was a lush, and I'm surprised, because in \"Before the Devil Knows You're Dead,\" she looked so jaw-droppingly, unbelievably fuckable, I had to see it twice to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. How on earth does she look like that if she's a drunk? Or is she not a drunk, but rather she simply turns into a nasty bitch when she drinks?\nWe all know it is not Sean Young. Enty would have just told us she was drunk off of her ass as she is a nobody now.\nAnyhoo. I think it is Marisa Tomei too.\nbinky, no kidding. at least ted gives us hints in his blinds. enty needs to go to *blind item writing school*. this could be any one of a dozen different actresses.\ngladys and mooshki, you gals are cheap dates...lol. get the good stuff, i say!\nMolly nailed it: Kathleen Turner, 1986 best actress Oscar. Admitted in her book she was an alcoholic and loves her martinis. Had to tell her theater cast she had a problem with alcohol.\nRumor had it she was drunk on the set of Martha Stewart when promoting her newest book on August 5th.\nHer own words from her book: \"Somehow, I'd turned from a charming drinker who could be the life and soul of a party into a really nasty drunk.\"\nKathleen Turner? No shock there. I'm surprised the woman still has a liver. She's going to end up like Larry Hagman and Mickey Mantle - getting bumped to the top of the liver transplant list and depriving some non-alcoholic of their liver transplant.\nOff topic -\nI can't remember how it was here who told me about Randy Travis being gay...but thanks for the info. This afternoon I was doing some surfing and laughing at old Tom Cruise rumors when I came across the story about the male pros that he hired to wrestle with him in London that time. Big Red? Is that right? Whatever his name was...Well that guy claimed Randy Travis was one of his customers! I would have been surprised if I hadn't read that here first, so thanks. Randy Travis, Garth Brooks, Antonio Banderas...and long-time client Andrea Bocelli! WTF?! Andrea Bocelli, too? Geez...you just never know anymore...\njeezass god, the natives are all over the place tonight.\nFocus people.\nChuck Theron was on Leno the other night, and was quite obviously drunk. Jay even brought her a margarita to drink during the interview.\nSO TOTALLY OFF TOPIC (okay, as usual), MY COPY OF IRON MAN HAS SHIPPED FROM AMAZON.\nthat is all.\ni haven't seen it yet. mr. buns has. he assures me it is up to my viewing standards.\ni had to tell SOMEBODYs!!\noh, and survivor is on. thank you, moosh. just makes the viewing more interesting, and i'm already survivor's # 1 fan.\nJulia Roberts\n@mooshki\nI've been having a really bad coupla weeks, but man your comment sent me outta here. I was laughing so hard.\nAnd then when I get to my physics lab, I noticed someone was using one of those wide jam jars as a stapler holder and someone had put brown tape in the middle with XXX across....LOL...man, I thought I was gonna my sides were gonna explode....\nThanks for that!\nThanks for the kind words, trogdor. I've been having a really hard time too, and CDANers are the best cure for the blues.\nSean Young? As she been out and about lately?\nbig hugs trogdor and mooshki. sorry you're having a tough time. i think we all are, given the economy, so you're not alone.\nyellow, sean has never been nominated for or won an oscar. other than that, she'd be the poster child for this blind, wouldn't she?\nI think we need a group hug because I sure could use one. Or a weekend in Hollywood with Enty. He could show us the sites, then sit us down for a nice dinner in a fancy-schmancy restaurant and give us the bottom line on all the unanswered juicy blinds.\n(sigh) heaven......\nIt's MARISA TOMEI. She's already been outed as the 'Academy Award-winning drunk girl.' ...Plus, here's a Wire Image pic of her arriving at that \"charity event.\" (She already appears to be feeling NO pain..)\nFYI: The event was the \"Outfest 2008 Legacy Awards,\" which took place on Wednesday 9/24 -- the night before Ent posted the blind! The awards were also (coincidentally) attended by Ent's \"friend,\" Kristen Bell.\nRight, Sean only as 7 razzie nominations, and with 2 wins for the same movie worst actress, and worst supporting actress for playing twins. My bad.\nShould never comment before the coffee kicks in.\nTatum O'Neal. That whole family has issues.\nOh how I wish there would be one big huge enormous blind reveal by all blind item writers!!! Maybe then these spoiled rotten actors and actresses can be taken down a notch or two and be grateful for what they have and what they contribute to the world and I would love to know who they really are. The pedestals are too high.\nOther than that I vote for Kathleen Turner!!"}

{"text": "Breathe Well and Live Well with COPD: A 28 Day Breathing Exercise Plan\nJanet Brindley\nPeople with COPD ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) often complain of breathlessness or an inability to control their breathing. The author explains the basics of what COPD is, and why breathing techniques are important in combination with standard medical care.\nThis book is full of very useful and simple and structured techniques that most people with COPD will find of benefit. It is easy to read and understand and has examples from people who have followed the plan, demonstrating the benefits they received. I like the use of the diaries at the end of each section of the better breathing plan, and also the use of self-checks and quizzes throughout the book which consolidate understanding and awareness of your breathing.\nAs a respiratory physiotherapist, I teach many of these techniques, and this book would be valuable for a lot of my patients.\nCarole Donnelly"}

Life seemed rosy for Steve Irwin.\nNow everyone from the international media to parenting groups have dragged the gregarious crocodile hunter over the coals for a bizarre feeding stunt involving his baby son.\nOver the weekend, Irwin defended his actions in holding one-month-old Bob precariously close to a four-metre-long saltwater crocodile during a feeding session at his Queensland zoo.\nBut newspapers around the world slammed the \"zany Aussie\", saying Irwin could give Michael Jackson \"and his baby-dangling ways\" some strong competition. A headline in the New York Post read: \"Crocodile Shock. Irwin's Sick Baby Stunt.\" \"Has Steve Irwin gone off his croc-er?\" it asked.\nWhile Irwin said comparisons between him and Jackson were ludicrous - \"that would just make me vomit\" - the New York Daily News said he \"managed to one-up Jacko in the child-care department\", with Bob's proximity to Murray the crocodile.\n\"Australian for good parenting: Taunting a 13-foot crocodile with your infant son,\" it said.\nOthers joined the frenzy. The San Diego Union-Tribune website ran slides of the incident with: \"Steve Irwin holds tyke, feeds croc.\"\nTV stations across the US showed the footage of Irwin, Murray and Bob. The CNN website ran a poll, asking visitors if they thought Irwin had \"endangered his baby\". By 5pm yesterday almost 120,000 votes had been lodged, with 61 per cent saying that he had.\nThe show was billed as Bob's crocodile-feeding debut. British tabloid, the Daily Mirror, dubbed it the \"Crocky Horror Show\".\nAnimal Planet, the cable channel that broadcasts The Crocodile Hunter in the US, released a statement saying it did not support any activity that intentionally put a child \"in harm's way\".\n\"Based on the footage we have seen, we believe a mistake was made. That said, we know from the many years we have worked with Steve, that his family is the most important thing in his life,\" the statement said.\nOn the Animal Planet discussion board, Irwin fans were irate. One said: \"I admire your work very much Steve, but I think you took it too macho this time. Exposing that innocent baby to danger does not make him more brave or you more smart in the eyes of the public.\"\nThere was no mention of the incident on Irwin's official website. His publicist John Harrison said Irwin had gone on holiday \"to have a think about it all\".\nJohn Weigel, owner of the Australian Reptile Park at Gosford and friend of Irwin, leapt to his defence, saying the salty had no chance of reaching the baby. \"If that was a lion (it) could run forward and capture the child, (but) the reality of a 12-foot crocodile with tiny legs and enormous mass it doesn't happen.\"\nIllustration: Cathy Wilcox\nGrahame Webb, professor of wildlife management at Charles Darwin University, was critical of Irwin's actions, but doubted that the crocodile could have jumped and grabbed the baby from the position it was in.

Is Italian your native language?\nMy native language is Italian and I learnt it when I started elementary school in my country.\n3. Do you have any teaching diploma? If yes, when did you get it and what is it?\nYes, I got my teaching diploma and degree in 2011 when I graduated from the Italian and foreign languages University located in Bologna.\n4. When did you start teaching and why?\nI officially started teaching as a school teacher in 2011 because I love supporting people in learning. My mum is a teacher too and she has always transmitted me the sense of satisfaction and pleasure you gain in doing it. I really like teaching and transmitting my experience to students.\n5. How many students have you taught in general?\nI have taught to 50 people more or less and I have spent 7 hours per day in teaching.\n6.

For instance during my classes we have a little chat in which every student tell me about his day or week; then we go on discussing about some grammar topic which I explain to him and we do some exercises in order to control his comprehension about the topic we faced. Then I continue doing some vocabulary exercises especially crosswords which enjoy everybody and improve the language. In alternative to this I give students some article taken from newspaper or magazine which has an interesting topic to be discussed. Sometimes I give oral comprehension with relevant exercise (often popular song lyrics to be completed) in order to test also the oral part of the student. Finally we have a chat in which we talk about the future program and arrangements the students have. Concerning materials I use my teaching books as well as downloaded material from various teaching website.\n7. What types of educational programs do you teach?\nI generally teach general conversation as well as exam preparation, classes for kids and language for special purposes. I have a wide range of students who have different aim and goal to pursuit\n8. Tell as much as you can about your experience.\nI have 10 years of experience and I have taught in private way as well as in groups of 5 people maximum. I teach in a language school located in Italy and I teach online through skype. I generally teach to children from 7 years old to 27 years old (compulsory school and university too) and adults till 50 years old who want to improve their languages because of work or simply because they are fascinated in learning a new language.\nПознакомьтесь с Elisabett сами!

{"text": "Today, family.\nMany (okay, maybe 3 or 4) other bloggers have asked me for some help, since I do claim to be an authority on everything. Today, gentle readers, I give you what I know about Twitter, and how you can use it to your advantage to increase blog traffic. You can also use Twitter to make friends with total strangers from all corners of the world.\nFirst things first.\n1. Join Twitter. It’s like the lottery. You must buy a ticket to win. So sign up already.\n2. Before you do anything else. Please upload your own image. Putting your picture, your logo or your Gravatar up right away lets people know it’s you. Don’t be surprised if many of your already rabid blog readers start following you once they recognize you. The Twitter Egg is much like the Facebook Ice Cream Cone Head. Get rid of it as soon as possible.\nMy avatar says I have no idea what I’m doing.\n3. Start following people. A good place to start is by following fellow bloggers by clicking on their shiny “follow me” buttons. You all know bloggers are a fun and festive bunch who like to spread the love. Don’t expect all of them to follow you back right away, but some will.\n4. Follow some of your favorite celebrities. Note*-Just because you follow a celebrity doesn’t mean they are following you. Bummer it doesn’t work that way, but it doesn’t. I’ve been on a mission to get the attention of two of my favorite celebrities through aggressive\nstalking tweeting, but to no avail.\n5. Just start “tweeting”. You can be pithy, funny, thoughtful and yes, even brilliant in 140 characters or less, since that’s all you have. Here are a few tweeting guidelines.\nAn open tweet, is just you rambling, to no one in particular. Like this:\nA tweet where you want to get the attention of a certain person looks like this:\nNote the “@” symbol in front of John Cleese‘s name. This means that one of his many PR goons or personal assistants may see this, as he will be alerted that I tweeted about him. This is what’s known as a “mention”. Generally, if you do this for a real person, and not a celebrity, odds are good that they will reply to you. These tweets are seen by all of your followers, so they may respond to you. If they leave the name of the person you mentioned in their tweet, the subject of the first tweet will be alerted again to the subsequent mention. Are you still following me here? Here’s an example:\nYou’ll see that @enchantedCshel is trying to help me, and by leaving @johncleese in the tweet, he (or someone he pays to read tweets directed at him) will see it.\nI don’t exactly know which category “Sub Tweets” fall into, so I’ll just stick them here. Fellow blogger Edward Hotspur did a brilliant blog post on them just a few days ago. Please read it HERE. A subtweet is a tweet you tweet to one particular person when you want to mention something , but you don’t really mention that person’s name. Most likely because they don’t follow you on Twitter, or you’re a coward and are scared that if they saw the tweet and knew you were talking about them, they might break your kneecaps. This was a concept that has taken me many long weeks to grasp. Thank you to Mr. Edward for helping clear it up for me. Here’s an example:\nOkay, let’s move on to other “interactions”\nTo confuse you even more, a “mention” is a form of “interaction” but there are others. Let’s start with the “favorite” and the “retweet”. You will notice in the above tweets there are little buttons that say “favorite” and “retweet”. These are little goodies your tweeps give you. If they click the star, you get a little alert message that someone “favorited” your tweet. If they hit the “retweet” button, then that sends your tweet to all of their Twitter followers. Follow? If one of your tweeps has 3000 followers, and they retweet your tweet, that means your tweet is now seen by an additional 3000 tweeps. Capiche?\nNow onto The Hashtag! This is where all the fun is, friends. You aren’t a somebody until you are hashtagging. What’s a hashtag, you ask? “#” is a hashtag. I know, it used to be a number symbol, and then it became the “pound key” and now it’s the hashtag. That has got to be the quickest example of keyboard evolution that I can think of. Anyhoo, “what’s it for already?!”-Ok, I’m getting to that.\nIf you see a tweet with a # in it, it is seen by your followers and whoever is following or participating in that same hashtag. You will see this a lot when you watch your favorite tv shows. They invite you to get involved with other viewers this way. Or regular tweeps will start a hashtag game of their own, like #medicalmovies, or #rejectedbondtitles.\nYou can play along like this:\nThis tweet will now go to the borg collective. Anyone who searches for all #rejectedbondtitles will see it. You can spread your wisdom to untold numbers of other crazy folks who love to hashtag.\nOne of the most popular hashtags you will see is this one: #ff- this stands for either Fast follow or Follow Friday. It’s only done on Fridays. The point is obviously to get more followers, and hopefully get more followers for your followers. Still following me? You cram as many Twitter handles as you can cram into your little window and hit send. Hopefully by the end of the day, you will have a handful of new followers. Great in theory, but in my experience, it’s gotten me more Unfollows than anything most weeks. If you see your handle in one of these, it’s good Twitter courtesy to retweet, and favorite, and thank everyone involved. Like this:\nOr, you can take the time to mention one person you like and give them a #ff shoutout:\nOne last thing. As hard as it may be, try not to get too caught up in the follow/unfollow thing. Your follower count will go up and down and drive you mad if you let it. So don’t. We can’t all be the Pope, who joins Twitter and instantly has a gazillion followers. Over time, you will build a tweep fan base. I’m up to 10…11…9…*sigh*…….\nRelated articles\nGood article – I think this will be your next Freshly Pressed.\nOh really? That would be lovely! Thanks!\nI’ve been the recipient of many FF’s tweets, but never actually gained any followers from them. Are they so standard a practice, at this point, that nobody really pays attention to them?\nI don’t know. Every Friday it seems I get unfollowed at least a few times. Last Friday was an exeption. I got 6 new Twitter followers and 7 new blog followers. A good Friday for me.\nI stopped paying attention to the number of followers only because so many of them were just wanting me to follow back, so the number always rose and fell based on that.\nI can’t figure out why I’m being followed by some. Like a realtors association, and a landscape paving company and some other oddball ones. Weird. How did they even find me in the first place?\nThose aren’t remotely related to one another. That’s random.\nI’m also followed by Lawn Care Jobs. No clue. Whatever.\nThose guys followed me home. Creepy.\nI’m famous, I’m famous! EnchantedCshel is a part of your funny blog ‘cos you are such a great writer! Thank you Cheeky Diva! Thank you world! I’m gonna reblog, okiedokie?\nYay I’m famous, I’m famous! My first real re-blog. (Only been reblogged before by creepy Amway spam blogs) So, I mean yes! Hell yes!\nOkay, now I know WP is messed up. Your comment isn’t even in my comment feed. I can only see it on the actual post. I’m sure they owe me at least a few thousand hits today that were not calculated.\nExcellent post! I wish you had written this when I was starting out on the ol’ Tweeter. I had no idea what I was doing (and I still don’t, most of the time!)\nMy most exciting Twitter moment was about five months ago. I had just written a blog post about celebrities to follow on Twitter, and I mentioned LeVar Burton, of former Star Trek and (more importantly) Reading Rainbow fame. That night I was up around 2AM feeding C and when I checked Twitter, guess who was following me? LEVAR BURTON! It was pretty much the most awesome thing ever ;D It was all I could do not to wake my husband up to tell him. I still check occasionally to see if he’s still following me, and I’m happy to report that he is.\nThat’s so cool! I think I knew that about you. Did you post that on your blog? Or maybe on that FPed post about the guy who got the mention from Wil Wheaton?\nGlad you liked it! Thanks for passing it along-if you know what I mean. The power of suggestion still works. ;-)\nStill afraid to stick my toe in the water, but I will. After Christmas.\nThis is very helpful Cheeky! Thank you!\nWell, thanks. I never sent you the email I promised, so here ya go.\nI waited…I’m crushed…\nOh, great. Now I have MORE guilt. Please read the Daily Prompt and try not to feel horrible about unloading more pressure on me. ;-)\nJust open that pressure relief valve!\nBuaaahaaahaaaa.\nI’m over it now\nOkay good, I was teasing about the whole guilt thingy….\nEver since I completed Catholic indoctrination rehab the word guilt is dead to me.\nMaybe I need that. Do they let recovering Episcopalians in? That’s almost Catholic, isn’t it?\nClose enough! Get on board!\nThis post will be helpful when I’m tweeting about the douchebags I work with at the annual “can’t say Christmas” work lunch…except my lovely wife of course. She doesn’t like it when I call her that.\nHa ha. Yeah, wives don’t like to be called douchebags.\nLike I would! That would be the last thing I did!\nSo glad to hear it. I use that term pretty much exclusively for co-workers and ex husbands.\n:)\nYou have too much fun on that site.\nOh, I do not. I never have fun.\nYour picture betrays you.\nI can feel my time being sucked away as I read this… Ha… I tease from love…\nOh thanks! I pride myself on being a timesucker! I’ll take that as a compliment.\nYou are a black hole of timesuckiness… and I mean that in the best posssible way…\nYou’re too kind! I might be spreading the cheerful vortex of time suckage elsewhere…… I will be speaking to an editor of an online magazine tomorrow to see if I might be awesome enough to join their team of badasses! How’s that for awesomesausage? :-D\nFry it up in a pan, baby!\nHell yeah!\nThat wasn’t a sexist remark about women only being food for cooking, just so you know.\nOf course not, I didn’t take it that way. Nobody can eat sausage if it’s uncooked.\nGood point.\nThat was supposed to be GOOD for cooking… not food for cooking, but I sent it before I spotted that… I am NOT a canibal… cannibal… however you spell that, I am not one of those.\nYou’re too funny. Ok, I’m going to try to listen to your song now, on my phone…shhhhhh\nYou are so tech savvy.\nMore tech savvy than my phone apparently. It didn’t like loading the video. What I heard I really liked! I will give it a listen on a better device. Nice work!\nThank you.\nReblogged this on Beyond Beauty Tips and commented:\nI love CHeeky Diva for introducing me to Haiku and not twitter, Something I’ve been dreading. I am plannin to join Twitter soon and her Twittern 101 will be my Instruction Manual. Thanks TCD\n*now twitter\nTypos always happen at a very specific place.\nJust Reblogged this on beyondbeautytips.wordpress.com\nThanks so much for the reblog. Its a goofy little piece that seems rather confusing, but Twitter is a goofy little place that seems rather confusing, so I guess it fits.\nMaybe we can say that it fits perfectly goofily.\nHa ha! Maybe so!\nI, for one, am happy you joined Twitter. Stalking celebrities together makes it way more fun…\nIt sure does. Fun, but as yet unsuccessful. Grrrr. But, we’ll keep trying, won’t we?\nPingback: 5 Rules of Twitterquette when Asking for #Twitter Retweets | Social Media\nmmmm maybe I’ll jump in..maybe not.

{"text": "6 1 3This is easily done with 3 people and also can be comboed with the Staying Alive achievement.Set up a team of 2v1. The person who needs this is on the team of 2 and gets killed. Then they respawn as a zombie and kill the person on a team by themselves. Pop! Two achievements at once in about 1 minute (you just need three people).While setting up a team match is required, you do not require a full 2v2 to start the match. This method is best done with boosters and not pugs. This solution doesn't make sense how can getting killed earn you an achievement for no-one on your team getting killed-i think your confused or put this guide on the wrong achievement.Posted by Assassin Corvo on 24 Mar 14 at 15:33 Negative. When you kill a survivor as a zombie, you respawn as a human player. Despite it happening in a split second, the game counts you as respawned and human when the other player dies. Therefore, all players are alive. Even though the description says nobody being killed, it really means all are alive. This worked for both me and the two others I was with. This solution is right where it belongs and I didn't write it until after we got the achievement.Based on just the description though, yes, it would sound like it wouldn't work, but it did *shrugs*Posted by TheOpieo on 24 Mar 14 at 22:52 This guide worked perfectly for all 3 of us, just was TheOpieo's solution stated. We got both achievements this way.Not sure why anyone would give a negative vote without even trying it first, yet alone accuse the guide writer of not knowing what he's doing, when he does.Posted by Rosshk on 07 Sep 14 at 17:05 Leave a comment"}

{"text": "About this time last year I published a review of The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume I. Courtesy of Broadman and Holman Publishers, this year I’m able to bring you review of Volume II.\nCharles Haddon Spurgeon was one of the most influential preachers of the 19th century. At a time before automobiles, airplanes, and electricity, he regularly preached before crowds of more than 5,000 in his church in London (he once even preached before crowd of over 23,000 people). He founded a college, an orphanage, and was a strong advocate for foreign missions. He was personally acquainted with D. L. Moody and Hudson Taylor. Famous Americans like Mark Twain, John D. Rockefeller, and James Garfield (before he became the 20th president of the United States) visited his church to hear him preach. He left more published words than any other Christian in history, before or since. He has often been called the “Prince of Preachers,” and rightly so. now Southern Baptists are not only among his greatest admirers, they have begun publishing a planned 12-volume set of his earliest sermons, never before seen in print.\nBroadman and Holman graciously provided me a review copy of The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume II. I read it cover to cover. Volume II contains the 57 sermons Spurgeon recorded in the second of nine notebooks that will serve as the bases for the rest of the volumes in this series. I was immediately impressed by the aesthetic beauty of the book in my hands. My copy of Volume I has cloth-over-board covers, sewn binding, thick and glossy pages, and full-color facsimiles of each page of the notebook. My copy of Volume II was a special edition with covers designed to look like the cover of his notebook, additional photographs, gilded pages, and even a slipcover.\nThe introductory materials are similar to those of Volume I. Excerpts are available online, which I encourage you to check out (from the Foreword, Editor’s Preface, Introduction, pdf sampler from Volume I).\nEach sermon includes a color facsimile, transcription, and notes. Even as a teenager (he turned 18 around the time he preached the last sermon in this book), Spurgeon’s sermons were impressive for his insight and ability to connect with his listeners. In Volume I he largely used outlines (he called them “skeletons”) and relied on his memory to preach extemporaneously. By Volume II he frequently wrote more detailed sermon notes. I wish my early sermons were as good as Spurgeon’s. By the time he was 20 he had already preached more than 700 times.\nBecause this is a critical work, the notes identify sources Spurgeon used, references to events of his day, and quotations from elsewhere in his body of work where he treated the same topics or Scriptures in more detail. The notes also discuss ink marks, corrections, and spelling, but I largely ignored these.\nIf they had only published the text of his notebook, it would have been worth reading. The addition of introductory materials placing Spurgeon in his historical context and scholarly research of the notes placing his sermons in the context of his sources and later writings make the volume even more valuable.\nIf you’re interested in snagging a copy for yourself, you can find The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume II online and in LifeWay stores. Volume III is slated for release in June 2018.\nWhether you’re interested in Spurgeon’s lost sermons or not, you can get access to a digital library of over 3,500 of his sermons by signing up for the Broadman & Holman Academic eNewsletter here. It’s free and you can cancel your email subscription anytime."}

Wiley is the author of multiple accounting textbooks, offers test prep courses for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) test, and is the owner of the “for Dummies” brand. Caroline Ng is the Regional Director for Wiley CPA for the Pacific Northwest. She visited campus to discuss the importance of the CPA exam and to touch on how Wiley’s test preparation courses can help make taking the CPA an easier task.\nThe CPA is an exam that is very beneficial in boosting an accountant’s resume. It also allows for career growth, making it easier to get upper management positions. The exam is respected worldwide and the test is uniform from state to state. Wiley offers an online test prep course that adjusts itself to meet an individual’s study needs.\nThe Wiley company slogan is, “We are your partner until you pass.” The Beta Alpha Psi club learned that the Wiley test prep course will not expire until the CPA exam has been passed. This means if an individual does not pass the CPA the first time, they will until have all of their Wiley course materials until they do pass. Caroline even did a drawing to give away this test prep course to one student, which normally costs around $1,800. Overall Caroline’s visit was a great opportunity for accounting students to gain knowledge about the CPA exam process, Yoselin Perez, an accounting student remarked that “Studying for the CPA is important because passing the CPA opens up many doors career wise.”"}

{"text": "CHELMSFORD -- If you're looking to cool off this July 4 weekend, it'll have to be somewhere other than Freeman Lake.\nThe Board of Health closed the beach today after weekly test results showed a high bacteria count, according to Health Director Richard Day.\nIt will be closed for swimming at least through the holiday weekend, he said, and will not reopen until bacteria counts go back to a normal level.\nThe beach at Freeman Lake just opened for the summer this past weekend, Day said.\n\"We normally don't get a closure this early in season,\" he said. \"It's usually later in the season, when a combination of things hit. The water gets hotter and bathing loads get higher and higher.\"\nRecent hot temperatures and waste from a large number of geese and ducks may have contributed to the high amount of bacteria, Day said.\nHe said the normal E. coli count for the lake is less than 100 colonies per 100 milliliters of water. Under state code, the threshold to close is anything over 235 colonies per 100 ml, Day said. Monday's test of the water showed the count was over 400, he said.\nBecause bacteria grows exponentially -- it continuously doubles with the right factors in play -- the water quickly becomes unsafe for swimmers, Day said.\n\"Unless something changes, the bacteria has the potential to increase,\" he said. \"By closing, what we're doing is pulling out the factors that may create the environment for the bacteria to continue to grow.\nWith rain forecasted over the next couple days, Day said the Board of Health will not be able to test the water again until 24 hours after the last projected rainfall.\nLike most towns, Chelmsford doesn't have its own laboratory, and relies on state-approved private labs for testing, he said. Due to the holiday weekend, testing results are likely to be delayed, Day said.\nLuckily, he said, the beach at Heart Pond tested normally and will remain open through the July 4 weekend.\nFollow Alana Melanson at facebook.com/alana.lowellsun or on Twitter and Tout @alanamelanson."}

{"text": "NEW MOON IN VIRGO – Get to work! (August 30, 2019)\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nNOTE: This Moon Update will be relatively brief. We are in the middle of revamping the website, so stay tuned! Time is precious right now, but I did want to get you a little information about the upcoming (and very exciting) New Moon.\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nIn the Pacific Time Zone, the New Moon will occur at 3:37 a.m. on Friday, August 30. This New Moon finds the Moon and Sun in conjunction (0°) at 7° of Virgo. To further clarify how this New Moon will impact you on a personal level, locate 7° of Virgo Virgo; however, this is definitely not your typical Virgo New Moon. I am going to veer from my usual objective approach and start by sharing that I am so excited about this New Moon! It couldn’t be coming at a better time for me.\nWith this New Moon, not only are the Sun and Moon in Virgo, but so too are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. This means that all five of what are referred to as the “personal planets” are in Virgo. They are close enough to each other to form what is called a stellium, which is a group of planets in conjunction (0°). With stelliums, the planets are no longer working independently but are functioning together as a unit. Without going into a great deal of detail (which my Virgo Ascendant would actually love to do!), Mars is in an exact conjunction to the New Moon (exactly 1°). That means we have energy, courage, and oh, did I say energy?! The presence of Mercury means that we will be thinking analytically and will want to communicate clearly and efficiently. Venus will help soften all this energy a bit by bringing in the heart energy, but it also has us focusing some of this Virgo energy on our relationships and finances.\nWith so much Virgo energy swirling around us, we definitely need to be very cognizant of both the higher and lower expressions of this mutable earth sign. We need to use our free will to choose the highest expression possible so we can get the most out of this incredibly powerful time. The higher expression of Virgo includes being efficient, productive, practical, analytical, and organized. The lower expression can result in being “perfectionistic” and critical of ourselves or others. It’s okay to have high standards, but seeking perfection (of ourselves or others) isn’t realistic given very few things in life are ever perfect. Additionally, Virgo, is also about health. This would be an excellent time to “clean up” our bodies and/or our diet, but we need to do it in practical ways.\nHow do we help ourselves avoid the lower expression of Virgo’s energy and reap the benefits of the higher expression? Focus on the other important qualities of Virgo, which are humility and a strong desire to serve without needing recognition or applause. If we find ourselves starting to be critical, then take a moment (or two), and think about how we can shift our energy toward being productive and serving a greater purpose. This shift in attention will very likely result in the melting away of those self- or other-directed critical thoughts (or words).\nBut all of this Virgo energy is not our only cosmic gift right now. That stellium in Virgo is also part of an earth grand trine (i.e., equilateral triangle)! The other 2 corners of the triangle are Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn, which is still conjunct (0°) Pluto and the South Node. That means we have 7 planets and the South Node in Earth signs. An earth grand trine is, frankly, a wonderful thing if you want to get a LOT done. The grand trine provides a free-flowing, supportive energy. The earth energy is about being practical, responsible, reliable, productive, and grounded.\nThe presence of Saturn and Uranus in this earth grand trine is an interesting influence. Saturn wants to approach things in a traditional way, while Uranus wants to shake things up and do something new, unique, and possibly revolutionary. We do need to avoid getting bogged down in the Capricorn’s desire to hold onto the old ways, because Uranus is saying that the future will require change. But we can’t ignore the needs of Saturn, either. Given these two planets are in a trine relationship, this is a good time to find a way to meet both needs. For example, we might receive practical but unexpected insights regarding how to do something, and the outcome might be even better if we incorporate some tried-and-true approaches or knowledge we have gained from the past. Uranus also has to do with technology, so we may be exposed to a new technology that serves us in a practical way.\nIt is also important to note that the New Moon, Mars, and Venus are all squaring (90°) Jupiter. Squares indicate that a change in direction is needed. This square could add a sense of restlessness and a desire to get more out of life. Or we could be feeling a need to fight for our beliefs or values. We do need to be careful not to exaggerate, overdo, or overpromise. Patience will be important now, and all the earth energy at this time will help with that. However, the involvement of the largest planet in our solar system will definitely provide even more power to this already incredible time period.\nOverall, this Virgo New Moon is a time when we should all focus on being very productive and efficient. Our focus should be on things that have a practical purpose. If we find ourselves becoming critical of ourselves or others, we are advised to become productive and focus on heart-centered service. The energy available to use between now and mid-September is a huge gift. We should organize as many things as we can. This would be a great time to dive into that major project that we know we need to complete especially if attention to detail is required. In short, get to work! 7° of Virgo\n- Friday, August 30, 2019, 3:37 a.m. PDT\n- Friday, August 30, 2019, 6:37 a.m. EDT\n- Friday, August 30, 2019, 10:37 a.m. GMT"}

Or start the body work if it needs it., Got any pics?\nall the usual stuff, carb (350 holey/webber), cam, mild hydraulic from crow is only 250, head, thermo instead of engine driven fan, all work well and fairly cheap.\nrebuilt my entire engine for under a grand..\nCheers boys will start adding now. if u want to have a look the link is - 1984 HOLDEN WB WB Private Cars For Sale in WA - carsales.com.au\nAh dude, I'm so JEALOUS!!!!!

And anyway six months is nothing, I wouldn't bother doing anything more to the 202 in that time, as someone else said, save for the other stuff and do things like brakes etc.\nFORSALE - BRICKIES TRESTLES + SOLID STEEL SPIRAL STAIRCASE. -\nCongrats buddy, sounds like you're one happy camper. You will always remember your first car - hopefully with a lot of fondness.\nI wouldn't do much to it myself... But there is a whole range of posibilities already stated by people in the thread... Give her a good service.. new carby.. tune up... maybe new leads... Wouldn't go as far as heads or internals though.. Although you can make them 202's hammer with the right mods.\nIf your just going to stick a better motor in it in the near future I wouldn't touch internals. Ultimately it's up to you though.\nVE SS Wagon Thread"}

{"text": "Synopsis (from Goodreads):.\n.\nThe story here is a complex one with a large and varied cast of characters. The action centers around the disappearance of Clara Wintermute following her birthday party and moves from London town house to London slum to large country estate. Suspicion over Clara's disappearance is focused on the puppet master Grisini but then he disappears too. As do his two young wards. Clara's parents are distraught as she is their only surviving child.\nAll of this action centers on the three children. Impossibly good Lizze Rose only wants to ensure that there is shelter and food for her and Parsefall while also always doing what is right. Parsefall is far more interested in survival by means fair or foul. He is not evil, just not above breaking the law to ensure he eats. Then there is Clara, suffering from a massive guilt complex and repressed emotions. Clara and Parsefall are also brave and strong minded. I would have preferred the story focused more on the two of them and less on everyone else. (Particularly Lizzie Rose who I frequently wanted to shake and tell to shut up.) Cassandra, the witch who desires to use the children for her own means, was also fascinating. I really liked what Schlitz did with her character. Grisini is a perfect villain for the gothic horror of the plot. Smarmy to the core, violent in a fantastical way, he is scary enough to give a young reader the shivers without subjecting them to hideous nightmares. And he meets such a satisfying end.\nThere were places where the story dragged a bit. Mostly when focusing on Clara's parents and Mrs. Pinchbeck. These scenes were short and few though.\nThis is an excellent selection for readers who enjoy the ghoulish, but shy away from the outright horrific.\nI read a copy available via NetGalley. Splendors and Glooms will be released August 28.\nwalking here with a smile. take care.. have a nice day ~ =)\nRegards, (A Growing Teenager Diary) .."}

{"text": "One of our specialities is creating dead wood sculptures. This means simulating the natural look of a dead tree. Many trees provide food and shelter to a host of wildlife and, in suitable locations, this can be an alternative to tree felling whilst maintaining a valuable habitat for insects which are dependent on dead wood at some stage of their life cycle such as Stag Beetles Lucanus Cernus (a protected species), other invertebrates including species of worms, snails, centipedes, spiders and woodlice which, in turn, provide a food source for birds and animals such as woodpeckers and bats.\nFungus spores, carried in the air, are deposited on wood. If they land on a suitable spot they will germinate and send hyphae into the wood, gradually softening it and breaking it down. Under suitable conditions, fruiting bodies are the visible signs of fungal activity, but the mycelium, in the form of fine thread-like strands through the deadwood, is always there, carrying out the decomposition of the wood. As the wood is broken down, suitable habitats are provided for invertebrates and their larvae. The fruiting bodies of the fungi themselves also provide habitats for some specialised invertebrates, which may lay their eggs on or in the fungus, or “graze” on the spore-bearing surface.\nThe value of dead wood to the environment is well documented and, if required, timber, branches and trunks can be left on site. However, standing dead wood has greater value; therefore trees can be reduced to a monolith to retain habitat. This option also helps to support our environmental policy."}

{"text": "What is the single most important contributor to startup failure?\n\"The cost of hiring someone bad is so much greater than missing out on someone good.\"\n- Joe Kraus, Partner, Google Ventures\nStatistic Brain shows us that only 37% of all information technology startups make it past the first 4 years; and that number doesn't take into account whether the company is rising to the top, or hanging by a thread.\nSo how do you find the right team to guarantee that you're not just treading water, but the owner of the luxurious three-story yacht sailing across the open seas? Below we'll take a look at one of the most important roles, the developer, and give you 10 simple tips to find one that will rock your world like the crowd at a Van Halen concert during the first few measures of Jump.\n1. Share the Passion\nDevelopers work best when they love what they are doing; when they have a true desire and passion to make the product, so find someone who really gets your idea, and wants to see it come to life.\nWhen discussing your project, you want to see their eyes light up with the possibilites!\nIdeally, you want someone who will see way past your vision and leap at the chance to make it a reality. He'll come up with ideas you never thought possible, and help you take the product to heights you've never dreamed. And he'll do it all with a smile on his face.\n2. Value their Work\nThis one has two pieces:\n- You obviously need to value the work that they provide, but\n- You also want to find someone who values their own work\nIf they don't like to talk about their previous projects, or are charging way under what you'd expect, they don't yet have the confidence you'll need to be successful.\nFind someone who is upfront and firm about their price, and who loves to talk about project X or project Y where they skipped meals and worked into the wee hours of the morning simply because they got caught up in making something amazing!\n3. Think Three Years Ahead\nIf you're just getting started, it's likely that this person will be your only developer, and while you are capable of firing him/her and moving on, you should treat this hire more like a marriage proposal.\nIf you can't imagine being stuck with them three years from now when the going gets tough, you've got a serious problem.\nJust like a marriage, a healthy business partnership will take a lot of hard work and you will have a few arguments along the way. If signing the contracts feels more like a prenup than a heart-felt proposal, take a step back and see if you need to run from the alter.\n4. Communicate Openly and Honestly\nLike any relationship, honesty and an open communication channel are of the utmost priority!\nYou should expect him to deliver what he says when he says, but you should also expect him to occasionally tell you something has fallen behind or taken longer than expected. If he is telling you things are going great when they look like they aren't, you're going to be thrown way off track.\nIn return, he should expect the same from you. If you can see that he's struggling with something, go and talk to him! See if there is anything that you can do to help and let him know that whatever is going on is affecting both of you and should be solved by both of you.\nThis one can be very difficult to test in a simple interview, so if possible, try to do a small project or two before as part of the vetting process. Look for the signs and you'll find out early on whether or not the communication is great or breaks down into the ether.\n5. Value Personal Time\nA developer can be massively productive when he gets in a groove and works for 15 hours straight, but he can't keep that up for long. Find out how he feels about nights, weekends and vacations. Burnout can happen quickly, and you definitely don't want your go-to-guy resenting his commitment to you.\nIn turn, make sure that you respect his time away from the office, and that he does the same for you.\nDon't ask him to do something in his off-time unless it's truly a business emergency.\nAnd even if you two are both totally fine with texting/emailing all night long and on weekends, your family probably isn't jumping for joy. Make sure that each of you has time away from the office, and that you don't have to worry about turning your phone off at dinner to avoid that special buzz that makes your wife's eyebrows go south.\nDuring the interview, make sure to discuss all of these points and don't be afraid to use some specific examples about what is and isn't appropriate from both of your perspectives.\n6. Give and Require Feedback\nYour developer can't read your mind, and your way isn't always the best way to do things.\nTry to engage him about past projects and see what he liked and disliked about them. Additionally, make sure that he gives you feedback about your project or processes and offers helpful suggestions.\nYou aren't always going to be right; in fact, if you find the right developer, you should be wrong more often than not, because that's what you're paying him for: his expertise in the areas that you don't have the time to learn.\nBut it doesn't stop with the negative feedback! Make sure you give him some positive feedback and see how he reacts.\nA good candidate (developer or not) will thank you for the compliment with humility and without too much of a fuss, perhaps making a comment about how much they enjoyed that project; but a bad one will likely tell you how he doesn't deserve your compliment or play it off as a really trivial task.\nBe wary of these people as they don't yet value their work, and perhaps don't take it seriously.\n7. Understand and Discuss the Workflow/Process\nUnless you have some serious cash to put behind the project, you're likely not going to find a single person who is already an expert at all areas of development, design and product management and who is capable of running the show for you.\nIf you can't afford multiple people, or one of the high-cost know-it-alls, find a good developer and make sure that you are both ready to experiment a bit with different processes. He'll likely know what works best for him, and you'll know what works best for you, but don't be afraid to try something new and exotic if you both think it provides the benefits!\nAsk him direct and specific questions about his process.\nHe may not be an expert or have it all nailed down, but he should at least be able to answer the following questions:\n- Do you use any existing tools?\n- How do you track your goals/tasks and your completed progress?\n- When do you mark a project as finished?\n- Do you work best on a single project at a time, or by bouncing around through three or four to get some variety?\n- In what kind of environment are you most productive?\nWe'll talk more about the work environment below, but getting concrete answers to these questions is crucial to finding someone that you won't have to micromanage. It's okay if he doesn't have any specific tools as long as he can tell you the process. If he works best by pen and paper, it doesn't really matter as long as the work gets done.\nMake sure that before work starts, you both know the process pretty well so that you can discuss things in the same terms. If you're talking about deadlines in a different way than he is, it can cause a lot of confusion and frustration.\n8. Envision the Environment\nYour developer will have a specific way that he works best:\n- Loud music, office door shut, early in the morning and late at night\n- Or perhaps he's more akin to the quite, open office, 8-5 type of thing\nThink about how this will affect you and your business. If he only works at night, are you going to run into issues when attempting to contact him?\nWhat about location? Does your business require a lot of face-to-face, or can you Skype with anyone in the world?\nMake sure that you're both on the same page about expectations and freedoms. Is he allowed to work on outside projects at the office during business hours? What about using company resources such as the copier or phone lines.\nGetting these things out of the way beforehand will drastically reduce the likelihood of later issues.\n9. Love Your Neighbor\nYou're about to hire someone that you will likely spend a lot of time with over the next few years.\nHow well do you get along? Do you have some common ground to talk about? Are you fairly close age-wise? What about kids?\nYou obviously can't discriminate against him for any of these things, but it's nice to know where your commonalities lie. If you have nothing to talk about on the long car rides to lunch, things can get pretty awkward.\nYou don't need to be buddy-buddys, and likely, being too close will cause issues. But make sure that you actually like the guy and can stand to be around him for extended periods of time. You will be collaborating, designing, iterating, and having pizza/beer all-nighters at the end of a super frustrating day.\nMake certain that you two aren't going to be butting heads or screaming and shouting if a heated argument arises.\n10. Trust Your Gut\nIt's amazing how truly intuitive you can be when you simply listen to your inner voice.\nIt's the best mechanism to help make a final decision when all of the information is present. If he's passed all of the tests above, but there is still something in your stomach making you queazy, there is probably a reason!\nSo don't ignore your intuition. In fact, you may find it helpful to have a few different points throughout the interview where you simply check a box for\n- Feels Right!\n- Something is Hinkey\n- Get the F*$% Out of My Office!\nJust jot these down in the margin as you mark off questions and look back at it afterwards to see the flow and if there is cause for concern.\n11. Bonus! Be Willing to Go the Distance\nThe worst-case scenario for your business is that things don't work out with the developer and you simply give up! Don't make this decision lightly, your business is at stake!\nIf there are issues that need to be resolved, try to actually resolve them. Most likely, there is a problem on both ends, so start by offering to make changes on your side, and then inform him of what you'd like in return.\nIf he's a good partner (whom you found by following the advice above), he'll be willing to make the changes and you'll see an improvement. If not, then you ultimately have to decide what is right for your business.\nYou don't want to drain your life-savings on someone who won't back you up and be your kick-ass comrade, but before you start looking for a replacement, you should be positive that you can't work things out.\nSo what tips do you have for those hiring a developer? Let us know in the comments below!\n---\nP.S. I was honored to meet so many great people at WDS2012 and I look forward to meeting more next year! If you said hi or shared some kind words, thanks! It means a lot to be part of such a cool community!"}

{"text": "Moving house is never going to be a breeze.\nWith even meagre possessions, the process of packing them up into cardboard boxes then having the emotional pull of uprooting and trying to live somewhere else is always going to be hard.\nI’m one of these people who, for whatever reason, started collecting music from an early age. So just the idea of having to move thousands of records and CDs which are neatly stored, plus pulling apart a carefully constructed recording facility with its neat wiring is daunting, to say the least!\nBut that’s what we’re doing. After nearly 20 years of living on the lower slopes of Harrow Hill in Middlesex, apart from a brief 18 months away in the Chiltern Hills, we’re back out to Buckinghamshire – this time to a small village called Bourne End which sits by the Thames.\nI’ve been spending whatever time I’ve had methodically packing all my music collection and moving it to a secure storage facility. I had a remix to complete for Another Fine Day, which I finished last Tuesday night, then it was a case of starting to dismantle my whole studio. To be honest, it’s going to be a job in itself trying to figure out what plugs into where when we relocate!\nEither way, this time around, the recording facility will be in the house, rather than outside in the garden. It’s been an excellent arrangement on the whole, but in other respects, a bit impractical. A plastic roof meant that working in there during even light rainfall was a no-no, and in the summer, what with the sun beating down on the roof meant that turning on any of the equipment in there resulted in almost sauna-like temperatures. I’ve also found that I wasn’t playing my piano as much – sometimes it’s nice to sit in the lounge and improvise whilst you’ve got people over, and possibly record what you’re doing on the fly with a view to adding other elements at a later date.\nSo whilst it’s going to be emotional, I’m looking forward to a fresh start."}

My Late Roll 51™ core – the same core found in the Rumble™ – has good length and strong downlane motion that makes my opponents shake with nervous anticipation, all without blowing the budget.\nTHEY’LL NEVER HEAR ME COMING.\nMy 51ML™ Pearl Reactive Coverstock allows me to easily clear the front part of the lane and gives me more stored energy down lane. Just when they think I’ve gone too far… BOOM! Lights out!\nWAS THAT THE PINS OR THEIR JAWS HITTING THE FLOOR?\nWhile my opponents are trying to figure out how to battle too much hook on the front end, the combination of my Late Roll 51™ core and brand new 51ML™ Pearl Reactive coverstock gives me more length and down-lane recovery than ever before in the HP2™ lineup. Medium/light oil conditions? I’m the one you’re looking for.\nCOVERSTOCK NAME: 51ML™\nCOVERSTOCK STYLE: PEARL\nCOVERSTOCK TYPE: REACTIVE\nWEIGHT BLOCK: LATE ROLL 51™\nCOLOR: ORANGE PEARL / RUBY PEARL\nFINISH: 1500-GRIT POLISHED\nFINISH METHOD: CAN BE SANDED\nDUROMETER: 73-75 ON D-SCALE\nFLARE POTENTIAL: 4\" - 5\"/MEDIUM-HIGH\nWEIGHTS: 10LBS - 16LBS\nSKU: RUP\nRELEASE DATE: 01/07/14\nMy layout: 4 3/8 x 5 1/8 x 2\nMy PAP: 4 1/2 over 1 1/4 up\nIf you go back and read some of my other reviews you will see that I have a strong tendency to really like solid coverstock balls. You will also notice that I haven’t given many strong reviews on pearls and hybrids. Therefore when I tell you that I have a high opinion on the Uproar from Roto Grip it should really mean something to you.\nAs I said in the past I am not a big skip/flip type of guy. I like archy ball motions, and I don’t get that with many pearls or hybrids. The Uproar really rolls well for me and became part of my tournament bag very quickly. I don’t get that big skid /flip reaction, and yet the ball does make a very good controllable move in the back part of the lane and accelerates through the pocket.\nBeing that it is a pearl ball I also never have any trouble getting it down the lane. The ball really works well for me when I need to ball down due to transition, The fact that it doesn’t skid/flip, and just archs for me, helps me play the right part of the lane, therefore avoiding the under over reaction I get with most pearls.\nWhat amazes more about the Uproar from Roto Grip is it very low price point. I feel you get so much ball for your money that the Uproar should be part of everyone’s arsenal. It will be very hard to go wrong with the Uproar from Roto Grip. The Uproar therefore gets my highest rating.\nI tested my UpRoar on my 39-foot house shot. The 1500-polished pearl finish worked well for this condition. I pushed the ball to the dry area to gain some friction.\nMy UpRoar is drilled with the pin up above the fingers and a dual thumb hole layout.. I wanted to have a ball that would compliment my Deranged and have a nice skid flip reaction. This ball produced about 3-5 inches of flare. The ball skidded nicely through the heads as I played just inside the oil line skidding out to the dryer boards. Once the ball encountered some friction, it revved up nicely and made a pronounced move to the pocket. ?As with all Roto Grip balls, it drove through the pin deck.\nThe UpRoar has a very predictable reaction, and with the 2.55 RG and .042 differential makes it a great addition for the lower rev medium speed league player who needs the extra length from the polished cover when the lanes begin to breakdown.\nWhat I enjoyed the most about this ball is the late breaking skid flip reaction. It produced a nice dramatic hook to the pocket and devastated the pins. What a fun ball to throw.\nThe UpRoar is a nice go to ball for the league bowler and is good compliment to the Deranged and Asylum. This ball will make a nice addition to anyone’s arsenal.\nMike Johnston\nRoto Grip Staff\nLayout 55 x 4 1/2 x 70.\nI drilled this ball using a 55 x 4 1/2 x 70 dual angle layout. This puts the pin below my ring finger with the cg kicked out. After throwing this ball for the first time all I could say is WOW! Even with this layout the UpRoar made an amazing move off the spot. On the house shot I could move as far left as I wanted and this ball would get down the lane and go left.\nWhen I drilled this ball I was under the impression that I would be able to begin moving back to the right when things broke down. The great thing about the UpRoar is that I really do not have to move right. If I am throwing a stronger piece of equipment and it just becomes overly aggressive, the UpRoar allows me to stay in the same spot and keep on going.\nHere is an example. I was throwing a Hyper Cell at 3000 grit. After about a game the Cell was just too much ball. I decided to move right and throw the UpRoar. First ball BOOM Solid 9 pin. After a few frames I was throwing the UpRoar from the same spot as the Hyper Cell and it was great.\nThe UpRoar pushes down the lane with ease. Don't let the HP2 rating fool you because this ball does move. If you are looking for a ball to use later in blocks or if you have problems getting some of the more aggressive balls to get down the lane this is a ball you should consider.\nOOB surface on the UpRoar is 1500 Polished. The UpRoar did roll good with this surface but seemed to go a little bit long for me. I hit the ball with a 2000 grit pad to get rid of some of the polish and this ball came to life for me. It also made this ball very forgiving.\nThe following video shows the UpRoar compared to the Asylum. This was done after a few games on the pattern and before I changed the surface on the ball.\nLouis Narvaez Jr.\nStorm/RG Pro Shop Staff\nElliott Askey\nBall Speed: 18 mph\nRev Rate: 450+\nPAP: 5x1 up\nDoes a ball ever just tell you to drill it? I had originally planned on waiting to drill my UpRoar until around May for when I go to Nationals. Well, the UpRoar sat on my pro shop shelf for 2 days before I could not withstand the urge to drill it! So I am comparing core and cover numbers with other releases and decide to drill it similar to my IQ Tour Fusion. What a great choice indeed. The ball is drilled with a 5x4 pin up, and it roars down lane. It is a great compliment to the Fusion. It is extremely forgiving and has plenty of recovery left in the tank when I send her a little wide. I messed with the surface just to see how durable the 51 ML Pearl cover was. At 4000, it was an extremely smooth and predictable roll. I believe this is how I am going to leave it for Nats so that I can control the breakpoint. At 2000, well, it wanted a little more oil than I was seeing on our 39 ft THS. The UpRoar is a great benchmark piece that will fill that mid level performance hole you have in your bag!\nHand: Left\nBall Speed: 16-17mph\nBall Weight: 15lbs\nPAP: 5 left 7/16 up\nDegrees of Tilt: 17\nLayout: 4 ¼ x 4 ¾ x 4 5/16\nThe Uproar is drilled 1 ½ inch down from ring finger and cg out with a weight hole down with 3000 abralon. When I first rolled it shined up it was a little too long for me and not much down lane motion, but once I put surface on it the ball came to life but still had the same motion as far as the length when it was polished but an earlier read in the mid lane and smoother transition down lane.\nI use the uproar when the lanes break down usually after a fresh house shot pattern. When its on more of a fresh pattern I have to stand left and go up the boards until the transition hits then I can move more right. Right now the uproar has been a popular ball for the bowlers who need length with a more controlled back end and not much snap. For a medium to dry lane ball this ball hits like a truck! Great job Roto Grip once again!\nIf you have any questions about the Uproar email me at garrett.richardson@pinolebowlerssupply.com\nGarrett Richardson\nStorm/Roto Grip Pro Shop Staff\nVise Inserts Amateur Staff\nPinole Bowler’s Supply"}

{"text": "So many\nexercises,\nso little time...\nJoin me & learn how to exercise more effectively with the Pilates method.\nPilates involves a series of controlled movements that target specific muscles to address muscle imbalance and realign your body. This helps your muscles and joints to return to their optimum functional state to regain strength and flexibility. Gradually you will start to feel lighter and taller and use your muscles more effectively and improve your range of movement in different parts of your body. Invented by Joseph H. Pilates in the 1920s, the benefits of Pilates have been widely shared by people of both sexes, and all ages and backgrounds. Many healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists or osteopaths recommend their patients take up Pilates for rehabilitation exercise after injuries, or to treat chronic pain caused by mechanical dysfunction of muscles. While some people may choose Pilates for remedial exercise, others such as professional dancers, actors and athletes devote their time to Pilates training in order to enhance their physical performance.\nToday the name ‘Pilates’ seems to have gained public recognition thanks to the media attention caused by some celebrity devotees. However, still little is known to the public about how Pilates works, or what defines Pilates as a truly unique exercise from other holistic exercises available to us.\nFind out some key elements of the Pilates method on my website and discover why you should choose Pilates as a lifelong exercise. link"}

{"text": "SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – (RealEstateRama) — Positive housing market momentum carried into February with home sales and median prices experiencing solid year-over-year gains, even amid lower inventory levels, according to the Illinois Association of REALTORS®.\nStatewide home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in February 2016 totaled 8,528 homes sold, up 5.7 percent from 8,066 in February 2015.\nThe statewide median price in February was $160,000 up 7.8 percent from February 2015 when the median price was $148,375. Statewide median prices have notched year-over-year increases for the last 42 months. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less.\n“Illinois continues to see sustained growth in sales and median prices, indicating the market is poised for a strong rollout for the spring selling season,” said Mike Drews, GRI, president of the Illinois Association of REALTORS® and broker-associate with Charles B. Doss & Co. in Aurora. “All signs point to sellers seeing intense interest from buyers who are competing in a market where there are fewer properties from which to choose.”\nThe time it took to sell a home in February averaged 81 days, down from 90 days a year ago. Available housing inventory totaled 56,563 homes for sale, an 11.3 percent decline from February 2015 when there were 63,791 homes on the market.\nThe monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 3.66 percent in February 2016, down from 3.87 percent during the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In February 2015 it averaged 3.68 percent.\nIn the nine-county Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA), home sales (single family and condominiums) in February 2016 totaled 6,095 homes sold, up 6.1 percent from February 2015 sales of 5,744 homes. The median price in February 2016 was $187,500 in the Chicago PMSA, up 7.1 percent from $175,000 in February 2015.\n“The housing market in Illinois continues to record comfortable increases in both sales and prices,” said Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL) at the University of Illinois. “Particularly important has been the consistent decrease in the percentage of sales accounted for by foreclosed properties in Chicago. The influence of foreclosed properties on aggregate prices seems to be diminishing while the foreclosure inventory remains at levels above those during the pre-recession period.”\nAccording to the data, fifty-nine (59) Illinois counties reported sales gains for February 2016 over previous-year numbers, including St. Clair County, up 23 percent with 182 units sold; Champaign County, up 21.9 percent with 128 units sold; Will County, up 12.6 percent with 598 units sold; and Cook County, up 3.6 percent with 3,384 units sold. Fifty (50) counties showed year-over-year median price increases including Winnebago County, up 18.3 percent to $84,000; McHenry County, up 18.2 percent to $175,000; and Peoria County, up 9.7 percent to $96,500.\nThe city of Chicago saw a 2.1 percent year-over-year home sales increase in February 2016 with 1,528 sales, up from 1,497 in February 2015. The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in February 2016 was $238,000, up 12.3 percent compared to February 2015 when it was $212,000.\n“Now is the time to sell your home if you’ve been thinking about doing that,” said Dan Wagner, president of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and senior vice president for government relations for The Inland Real Estate Group. “Compared to last year, the median sales price for all closed sales is up about 12 percent and there is a faster turnaround time between when a home is listed and when it sells.”\nSales and price information is generated by Multiple Listing Service closed sales reported by 28 participating Illinois REALTOR® local boards and associations including Midwest Real Estate Data LLC data as of March 7, 2016 for the period Feb. 1 through Feb. 29, March 21.

{"text": "Sorry … [because] ….“\n“It is not so much a matter of more religion or less religion,” he says, “because the truth is, both are\nhappening at once: a lot of people getting more religious, a lot of people getting less religious. The result is a series of storms in the West and even more so elsewhere, in the Middle East, Asia and Africa … [and he says that] … I want to say why I think it has happened and what we can do about it to save the planet from cultural climate change.” In my comments on what Lord Sacks has to say I am going to talk about “values” and, sometimes, mix up values and religion because I believe they are inextricably linked and, sometimes, one and the same.\nLord Sacks traces the rise of secularism from Newton and Descartes in the 17th century to the modern era in which, he says, “People built concert halls, art galleries and museums as a way of encountering the sublime without necessarily going to a house of worship. They were substitutes for the church.” I suspect that he may not give quite enough attention to the (essentially) European romantic movement (about 1775 to 1915) which\nwas, in some large part a reaction to the stultifying effects of the (largely Catholic and very conservative) baroque era. I think that Burns, Beethoven, Brahms, Byron and Schiller and Mahler had as much to do with changing our (Western) values than did Descartes, Goethe Newton and Rousseau. But, perhaps sadly, the romantic era bled to death “In Flanders’ Fields.”\nProfessor Sacks says that the later 20th century, beginning circa 1960 ~ and I recommend this book, 1959: The Year Everything Changed, by Fred Kaplan for those who want a review of what happened in the middle of the 20th-century ~ was critically important because, in his words, the world saw, in the US-led West “the secularisation of morality,” because, he opines, “the West broke free from its traditional Judaeo-Christian ethic, especially in relationship to the sanctity of life on the one hand and the sanctity of marriage on the other.” The debate, in the West, in the 1960s, was, I believe, about values ~ including, especially, the quite fundamental liberal belief in privacy: the right to live one’s own life according to one’s own tenets without any constraints being imposed by collectives like the church and the state, beyond doing no harm to others. In some large measure, especially in Europe and America, it was a reaction, an echo of the romantic movement, to the growth in power of the state ~ what many people mean today\nwhen they misuse the word liberal. A very illiberal system had grown up, under the influence of thinkers as diverse as William Blake, Karl Marx, W. E. B. Du Bois, Franklin D Roosevelt and Canada’s own J. S. Woodsworth. The power of the state grew and grew and it was, in the US-led West, often, a formally Christian or Judeo-Christian state.\n“The second metanarrative was Westernisation,” Rabbi Sacks says. .“\n(Parenthetically, I will quibble, slightly, with his inclusion of Russia in his list of alternatives to Westernization. Many, especially in Europe, see Russia as being a hybrid, at best, of East and West ~ “Scratch a Russian and you’ll find a Tartar” is an old saying, likely of French origin, sometimes, probably incorrectly attributed to Napoleon ~ which speaks about the long period of Asian (Mongol) domination of European Russia and also about the Middle Eastern roots of the ancient Orthodox church. But no less an authority than Samuel P Huntington defined Orthodox Eurasia as one of his ‘civilizations’ in his 1993 essay, ‘Clash of Civilizations,’ so I may be on shaky ground. But Huntington also suggested (in his 1996 book) that there are also African, Japanese and Latin American ‘civilizations’ that are markedly distinct from European Christian and Chinese/Confucian influence. I reject that as being too narrow.)\nI fully accept that Sinic East Asia, the whole of the Islamic Crescent, regardless of the Shia-Sunni split, and India are very, very different in values and ethos and their sense of the future (destiny?) from the Christian West (and from Eurasian Orthodoxy, too).\nThe third narrative that is collapsing, Jonathan Sacks says is accommodation. That is, he says, the notion “that any religion to survive in the modern world has to accommodate and adjust to the wider society … [but he opines] ….“\nThis goes some way, I think, to explaining something about which I have commented, many times, in these pages: our (especially American) fear of “the other.” The “other” looks different, and, many believe, thinks differently, too ~ has different values which, that same many suspect, allow the others, the foreigners, “steal” our jobs by making better ships, cars and TV sets and even bombs than we do. I’m talking about irrational fear but that\nfear drives us to look inwards, to circle the wagons and protect ourselves. It is exactly what Donald J Trump sells to the American people and what Nigel Farage sells to the Brits and so on, all around the world. In this respect, there is no difference between Boris Johnson and Narendra Modi ~ neo-isolationism is all the rage in the 21st century.\nProfessor Sacks says that the world, in the 21st century is being pulled in two directions: modern societal norms versus religion (his term) or values (mine). His description is much more philosophically complex than that, but I think I have captured the essentials. Our modern societal norms seem to propel us to conquer the world ~ for ourselves and our friends ~ while our values tell us to share and to cooperate and to tolerate. He says that, around the world, modern societal norms, which differ, markedly, as we move from, say, liberal Iceland all the way to Confucian China, are winning ~ including in America, Australia, Britain and Canada, too.\nNot surprisingly, given who and what he is, Rabbi Sacks asks: “how does this affect us in the contemporary world?” The answer, he says “lies in three dimensions. First, family. Second, community. Third, society … [and he asks] … What happens to family, community, and society when the West loses its faith, its religious faith?” He makes what I think is a key point: “Religious people … [I prefer to call then ‘value-driven people’] … understand the concept of sacrifice. We live by it. It’s part of our lives. But people in a secular, consumerist, individualist culture find it much harder to live by sacrifice.” He suggests and I agree fully that America, Canada and Europe have all adopted, almost universally, the “secular, consumerist, individualist culture.” They have done so, I believe because:\n- First, conservative (Catholic and Orthodox) Christianity became too oppressive to the (natural) human (and liberal) instinct to value the individual over the collective. Sacrifice for church or state was never hugely popular, the 13th-century Children’s Crusade notwithstanding;\n- Second, the modern welfare state created its own sort of ‘religion‘ based on the very shallow and ill-considered idea that it, the state, could solve real, visible, all too human problems like racism and poverty that have troubled people for\ngenerations centuriesmillennia.\nThe end result is that the modern welfare state is just as oppressive as were the monarchs of ancient, medieval and early renaissance Asia and Europe, but people remain, as they always have been, less than happy to “sacrifice” for the common good … we all understand that “sacrifice” might mean giving up everything, and we seem to have decided, as a ‘civilization’ that we have given enough in the last century:\nRabbi Lord Sacks says that he can best explain this .” In short, the value-driven people are the (soon to be eaten) altruists and the majority, those who have accepted the “secular, consumerist, individualist culture,” are the fleet-footed survivalists.\nDr Sacks speaks fondly and at length about the ideas, shared by classic liberal Americans like Charles Murray and modern illiberal Americans like Robert Punam who agree that “social capital” summed up in that great phrase “We the people” with its implication that we must be prepared to sacrifice for the common good, is the bedrock of a successful society.\n“It turns out,” he says … [he takes modern liberal Europe as his model. It was, he says, part of a covenant] ….“\nProfessor Sacks concludes that “So in a world like today, religion … [moral values, for me] … can do one of three things. Number one, it can attempt to conquer society. That is the radical Islamist version. Number two, it can withdraw from society … [or] … number three, it can attempt to reinspire society, to do what Will Durant called giving people a new form of human hope and new courage to human effort … [and] …,” he explains, .“\nI agree 100% but I believe that liberal values can be used in place of religion in almost everything Jonathan Sacks says, accepting that for Spinoza, Locke and Jefferson they were, very much, one in the same thing.\nCanada was, from the time of Sir Wilfred Laurier until the end of the Pearson era, a beacon of liberal values in the 20th-century world, even under the timid Mackenzie-King. It changed when the second most illiberal prime minister in Canadian\nhistory, Pierre Trudeau was selected to lead the Liberal Party. As I have explained, he changed the country and subsequent leaders, even those, like Stephen Harper or Paul Martin, animated by good, traditional liberal instincts, were never able to reverse the course It has only gotten worse in the intervening half-century and Canada now has a total illiberal at the helm. Unlike\nhis father, Justin Trudeau doesn’t have a single liberal bone in his body. From his admiration for China’s “basic dictatorship” to his penchant to obstruct justice to satisfy his own, partisan political ends, he is a very model of a modern autocrat … he is much, much more like Donald Trump than he is like Louis St Laurent. Canada, I fear, is farther away than most Western nations from Lord Sack’s vision of a value-driven, liberal society with strong, national social capital based on a few shared values. I fear that Canada will fall victim to “cultural climate change” before most others."}

{"text": "The Bible: Our Sure Foundation\nA story near the end of the book of Judges is a legacy to the emptiness of religion that is built ona.\nSince Israelite priests were from the tribe of Levi, Micah decided that this Levite would be a good priest for his household religion. He believed that the Levite, simply by his genealogy, would bring God’s blessing on his homemade faith (verses 5-13).\nAfter some time, soldiers from the tribe of Dan came through Micah’s region on their way to attack a peaceful settlement so the Danites could settle there. As they passed through, they stole Micah’s idols and his priest (Judges 18:16-20). Micah’s entire religion was stolen.\nThe idols in which Micah had placed his trust had no power to protect themselves, much less their owner. Yet he had treated them and his religion as something of value. Not only had Micah trusted in a religion of his own making, but the tribe of Dan thought they, too, had discovered something valuable, adopting Micah’s former idols and priest as their own.\nTheir worship probably made them feel better about themselves, but in the end it proved to be of no true value. It was a humanly devised religion, a faith that was built on sand. Micah’s self-made religion had let him down.\nHave you ever felt like Micah, abandoned by something you believed in? Most people place their faith in things that eventually let them down. But you can place your faith in the One who will never let you down–Jesus Christ.\nThere is a hope that does not disappoint, a faith that never fails. That kind of faith is built on the Rock, Jesus Christ. There is no other foundation that is worth building on (1 Corinthians 3:11). If what you have trusted in has moved away from you, if your faith is shaken or has faded, perhaps your beliefs weren’t really anchored to Jesus Christ. He is our foundation stone. He\nis the basis for everything we are, everything we do, and most importantly, the wonderful and glorious future he has for us. Only when we give ourselves to him, fully entrust ourselves to him,\ndo we really begin to be what he made us to be.\nA false belief may make you feel better for a while, but eventually it will let you down. Some people place their faith in money, in power, or in their reputation. Perhaps your faith is in the government, or in a political party. Perhaps it is in science, or a certain social movement. Many fields of human expertise may do much good, but they can never meet the moral and psychological needs of our souls. They cannot save us from our sins or give us eternal life. They are humanly devised religions that will inevitably let us down.\nOur only sure hope is Jesus Christ — our faith must be in him, not in any human, not in any system, not in any organization. He is the One who will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6).\nThe Sermon on the Mount concludes with a parable about building. Those who build on sand will see their houses fall, while those who build on a solid foundation stone will see their houses endure (Matthew 7:24-27). In the parable, both builders heard the words of Jesus, but the wise builder is the one who acted on those words. It is those who do the will of God who are accepted (verse 21). And God’s will is that we believe in the Son of God (John 6:28-29,40). He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, the foundation on which we can build the faith that can never be taken away."}

{"text": "Fifteen years ago, Beaches and Jacksonville officials settled a lawsuit that charged Jacksonville with overtaxing Atlantic Beach for the services it provided to the coastal city.\nThe 1995 settlement temporarily reduced the county's tax rate for Beaches residents. It also revised interlocal agreements that have been in place between Jacksonville and the three Beaches cities since 1981 and states how services such as lifeguards, firefighting, beach cleanup and Community Development Block Grants are shared and funded.\nBut sometimes the alliance is an uneasy one.\nNow, some Jacksonville elected officials and auditors question whether the Beaches cities are paying their fair share and want to audit the interlocal agreements.\nJacksonville City Council auditor Kirk Sherman said two council members have directed him to begin the review in October even though the Jacksonville City Council voted 14-2 last month against a resolution for the audit.\n\"That doesn't prevent me from doing it,\" Sherman said. \"I feel it's a reasonable request.\"\nSherman said the audit will take several months and will include interaction with the three Beaches cities and Baldwin, another municipality within Duval County that has its own interlocal agreement with Jacksonville. Then he will make a report and recommendations to the Jacksonville City Council.\nBut Jacksonville's audit \"would not be an equitable study,\" said Jim Jarboe, who hammered out Atlantic Beach's court-ordered settlement with Jacksonville in September 1995, while he was the Atlantic Beach city manager. He's now the Neptune Beach city manager. \"It's kind of ridiculous, as a matter of fact. No one at the Beaches would take that study seriously.\"\nFurthermore, Jarboe said, Jacksonville is well compensated for its services to the Beaches.\nJacksonville collected $3.9 million in property taxes last year from Neptune Beach property owners, whereas Neptune Beach only received $1.9 million.\n\"That's a lot of money,\" Jarboe said. \"It's a lot more than we get.\"\nJacksonville also received about $7.5 million in property taxes from Atlantic Beach residents and $16.6 million from Jacksonville Beach residents.\n\"The reason it's coming up now is that Jacksonville's budget is short, just like everyone else's budget,\" Jarboe said. \"If they could do it at the expense of the Beaches, they would.\"\nSherman said the 15-year time span is exactly why Jacksonville needs to review the interlocal agreements.\n\"Everything changes over time,\" Sherman said. \"The level of services has changed and costs have changed.\"\nBut Jarboe warned, \"The only thing that will be accomplished by all this, if it continues, will be another lawsuit. I hope it doesn't come to that. I would hope that cooler minds will prevail.\"\nArt Graham, who represented the Beaches on the Jacksonville City Council until he was recently appointed to the Florida Public Service Commission, agreed it's the auditor's job to help Jacksonville balance its expenses. But in this case, any savings that could be produced by an audit and revised agreements wouldn't be worth the political turmoil.\n\"It would be very divisive,\" Graham said.\nHe said the resolution sponsored by Jacksonville City Councilman Reginald Brown was the \"exact same bill\" that former Councilman Warren Alvarez proposed after residents in his district complained about a 25 percent water and sewer surcharge that Atlantic Beach charged for people who live outside the city limits.\nThat bill caused a lot of friction with elected officials at the Beaches and Alvarez withdrew it before he left office.\nNeptune Beach Mayor Harriet Pruette said the Beaches cities share the same financial struggles as Jacksonville and that the cities would be better off \"not spending our energies on a fight and legal fees.\n\"It's a can of worms that won't be any good for anybody,\" she said.\nCaren Burmeister can also be reached at (904) 249-4947, ext. 6321."}

{"text": "Patrick Hanley | Public Policy and Advocacy Lead | May 26, 2021\nIf you’re a newcomer to Texas, you might have been scratching your head these last few months as transgender youth have been splashed all over the headlines. Forget COVID, the winter storm, energy crisis, redistricting and a budget shortfall, if Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s priority agenda was to be believed, trans youth simply being themselves was one of the biggest issues facing Texas during this year’s Texas Legislative Session.\nAs the session reached a boil in mid-March, we were facing more than 30 anti-LGBTQ bills – a new record. The cruelest of the lot were those that would have ended critical, life-saving transition care for trans youth or expanded discriminatory rules on participation in school sports. Thankfully, due to monthsof tremendous outcry from our communities and allies across the state, the last of those bills died last night after it narrowly missed a midnight deadline.\nScore check: one for trans youth, zero for our Lt. Governor.\nThe past few legislative sessions have been filled with anti-LGBTQ rhetoric – and this year’s session was a return to to 2017’s “Bathroom Bill” debacle. We saw even more creative legislation this year: bills that would have given professionals such as doctors, lawyers, counselors and more a “license to discriminate” by exempting them from local non-discrimination laws. We also saw bills that would have given medical professionals the right to refuse any procedure based on religous belief, even critical emergency room care.\nInstead of trusting that our state leaders would not advance these harmful measures, LGBTQ allies had to fight every step of the way. Some of the key battles included:\n- SB 29: Would have codified and expanded discriminatory rules for participation in school sports.\n- Status: Died on the House floor last night when the clock ran out.\n- HB 1399: Would have eliminated affirming, transition-related medical care for transgender youth.\n- Status: Died on the House floor last week when the clock ran out.\n- SB 247: Would have given those licensed by the State Bar of Texas the ability to ignore non-discrimination protections.\n- Status: Died in House Committee this week after it failed to advance.\n- SB 1646: Would have deemed affirming transition care as child abuse under state statute.\n- Status: Passed the Senate but died in House Committee earlier this month.\n- SB 1311: Another bill that would have eliminated affirming health care for trans youth.\n- Status: Passed the Senate but died in House Committee over the weekend.\nShall I go on?\nThe threat is not over! We are still on guard for amendments that could pop up in the final days of the session. As we look to at least one more special session this year, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has already reissued his calls to attack transgender youth. Rest assured, this will not the be last time we are forced to fight for our communities.\nWe at Resource Center are so grateful for all who took part in our calls to action this session. We look forward to a brighter day when the fundamental rights and dignities of our community are not up for debate in Austin."}

{"text": "Dozens of half-dead people blindly staggered through the streets of a Brooklyn neighborhood known as “Zombieland” Tuesday morning, propping themselves up against fire hydrants and vomiting foam down their shirts.\nBut the apocalyptic scene wasn’t for a movie. The victims had apparently smoked a bad batch of the “synthetic marijuana” drug known as K2 — and 33 people had to be hospitalized.\n“It looked like a scene out of ‘The Walking Dead,’ ” said Brian Arthur, a lifelong Brooklyn resident who posted footage of the disheartening scene on Facebook.\n.”\nIn Arthur’s video, police can be seen corralling some of the drug users as others lose their minds.\n“Look at these dudes — they can’t even stand straight,” he says, while walking through the junkie wasteland, panning to people passed out on the concrete. “This is crazy!”\nCops said the druggies started dropping like flies at around 9:40 a.m., with most of them being found on the sidewalk and subway platforms near Broadway and Myrtle Avenue — a notorious spot for K2 users that has been dubbed “Zombieland” by cops and residents.\n“That area is ground zero for K2 addicts,” a police source said. “They have people there who are zonked out on K2 all the time.\n“There is a store at the corner there that sells it and there’s a methadone clinic nearby.\n“It’s believed that people who go to the methadone clinic are also using K2.”\nThe victims were taken to Woodhull Medical Center and Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and were are all expected to survive, cops said.\n“The majority of these people who were doing this were young, teenage guys who hang out in the streets,” Arthur said.\nPolice on Tuesday said they initially received a call for multiple overdoses outside a building adjacent to Bushwick City Farm, which provides free food, clothing and educational programs.\nOfficers found eight afflicted individuals upon their arrival, and 14 more later.\n“Obviously, it was a bad batch [of K2],” a police source said. “They are lucky they didn’t die.”\nA Bushwick City Farm volunteer told The Post K2 users meet on benches outside the garden.\n“We’ve been trying to push people away from the garden area who are smoking this stuff,” said Jason Reis, 34. “They’ll often try to congregate out front. In the last week or so, we’ve put a sign that said: ‘No smoking K2.’ ”\nReis added that residents of Stockton Street and the surrounding area have been contending with K2 users for at least the past three years, noting, “There’s always people passed out on the streets. I saw a guy was puking on the street earlier.”\nArthur recalled how he once saw a K2 user casually taking a stroll with his pants around his ankles.\n“It was one of the craziest things I’d ever seen,” he said. “The guy was walking around half-naked. It was insane.”\nWhile residents claimed K2 has been a problem for years, police sources said they had never had an incident as serious as Tuesday’s.\n“[Thirty-three people] is a tremendous amount in one morning,” a source said. “That is a busy week.”\nPolice sources and residents in the area told The Post that the K2 is being purchased from a deli at the corner of Myrtle and Broadway. The store, Big Boy Deli, has been raided by police several times in the past, most recently last Thursday, they said.\n“The sheriff’s department came in and closed it down for a couple days, but then it was open again,” Arthur recalled. “By Monday, they were right back to selling.”\nLast year the popularity of the chemical-laced drug skyrocketed among young pot smokers and the city’s homeless population because of its low price, around $5 a pop.\nIn October 2015, Mayor de Blasio signed into law three measures that made possession of the drug with intent to sell a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.\nStill, sources said there is nothing cops can do about people who smoke it.\n“There cannot be any arrests made of people possessing K2,” a police source said.\nAdditional reporting by Shari Logan.\nThis article was first published in the New York Post."}

{"text": "First Free Story (1 of 3)Join Skift Pro\nMore travel executives get their mission-critical industry news from Skift than any other source on the planet.Tell me more\nAlready a member? Sign in here homesharing giant expanded its business into tours and activities nearly two years ago.\nThe Marriott Moments marketplace, which offers more than 110,000 experiences in more than 1,000 destinations worldwide, represents the evolution of Marriott’s own 2017 investment in tours and activities metasearch platform, PlacePass. Marriott is offering approximately 8,000 experiences exclusively to its 110 million loyalty program members.\nThe New Features\nThe newest features that Marriott rolled out make it easier for Marriott Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty members and non-members alike to find and book the types of tours and activities that will appeal to their travel needs and wants.\nNew expert recommendations on what to see and do in different destinations have been compiled from hotel general managers, chefs, and mixologists, as well as celebrities ranging from chefs Daniel Boulud and Eric Ripert to actress Lea Michele and professional skier Gus Kentworthy.\nTo augment all those 100 or so endorsements, Marriott Moments will also have a variety of “bespoke categories” for tours and activities that will make it easier for travelers to find the type of experience they are seeking. Categories include Pop-Culture Vulture, Exhaust Your Kids and Be the Family Hero, and Young, Broke & Fabulous, for example. Customer reviews will also help guests make decisions about which tours and activities to book.\nThe platform is also meant to become more personalized each time a guest uses it to book his or her travel experiences. “Over time, the more our users shop and book through the site, the more personalized the recommendations will become,” said Stephanie Linnartz, Marriott’s global chief commercial officer. “However, in addition to the recommendations, in order to showcase the types of experiences that are available to any kind of interest, we believe that the categories will be useful to showcase the breadth of the offerings in this initial period.”\nAdditionally, Marriott is introducing a Facebook Messenger integration that allows Facebook users to chat with Marriott Rewards or SPG to quickly get recommendations based on where they are located or by giving an address. They can also use Facebook Messenger to sort and filter tours and activities by price, location, popularity, reviews, and more.\nA partnership with Eatwith, an online community that helps people find and book local culinary experiences in more than 130 countries, also enables people to book local food tours and activities via Marriott Moments, including intimate dinner parties, meals with local families, or special cooking classes.\nFollowing Airbnb’s Lead?\nIn many ways, these new Marriott Moments features mirror earlier efforts from Airbnb to do the same when it comes to helping travelers figure out what to do — and how to do just that.\nOne big differentiator to note between the two companies, however, is that Marriott is partnering with a tours and activities metasearch platform to provide the inventory for its experiences, while Airbnb’s Trips primarily consists of peer-to-peer activities led by locals.\nPrior to Airbnb’s official launch of its own tours and activities business, Trips, in November 2016, Airbnb began offering user-generated Insider Guidebooks that would eventually form the basis of Places, which the company announced at the same time it launched Trips.\nThis section, Places, which no longer appears to be actively promoted on Airbnb’s website or mobile app, was where Airbnb users could find guidebooks compiled by hosts and fellow travelers, as well as find recommendations from other travelers and celebrities on the best things to see, do, and eat in a variety of destinations.\nIn November 2016, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky described this app/website section as a place where Airbnb users would be able to get recommendations and insider advice from actual locals, and he hinted at the ability for people to book restaurant reservations directly via Airbnb.\nNearly a year later, in September 2017, Airbnb announced its tech integration with restaurant reservations and technology platform Resy, which enabled users to book restaurants on Airbnb.\nToday, while it may be a challenge to find Places as it existed in November 2016, a quick glance at the Airbnb website and mobile app demonstrates the company’s own strategy for curated experiences, with categories that highlight concerts, surfing, food, social impact, and more.\nIs This Enough to Succeed in Tours and Activities?\nMarriott’s entry into the tours and activities space via Moments represents the company’s larger desire to be an all-encompassing travel brand, not unlike Airbnb, which has similar objectives.\n“We want to be what you think of when you think about travel,” Marriott global brand officer and luxury brand portfolio leader Tina Edmundson recently said at the Skift Forum Europe in April, while describing Marriott’s larger ambitions. “We launched this Moments platform with 110,000 experiences on it, not just to provide you with a hotel stay but also to provide an experience within the community you are traveling in. We want to be this place where you come for any of your travel needs.”\nBut breaking into the highly fragmented tours and activities space can be very challenging — as Airbnb has also learned. Nearly two years after it entered the tours and activities market, Airbnb has yet to turn a profit from its Trips business, but the company hopes to expand its Experiences from 60 destinations to 1,000 by year’s end.\nFor a hospitality company accustomed to having customer book hotel rooms, it can be a bit of an adjustment for them to book thousands of tours and activities, noted Johannes Reck, CEO of GetYourGuide, a tours and activities booking platform.\n“What Marriott is trying to do is incredibly difficult,” Reck said. “It’s far away from the core of what they do. Aggregating itineraries and making it bookable for customers is not very easy.”\nMarriott, for its part, sees this as an evolution of what Marriott has been doing for guests for decades. “Providing local recommendations of things to do is a service that Marriott hotel associates have been providing for years,” Marriott’s Linnartz said. “With our local area expertise and physical presence in thousands of destinations around the world, we believe Marriott is well-suited to expand beyond the hotel room and add more to the entire travel experience.”\nReck said that most companies that decide to enter the tours and activities market struggle with either not having enough inventory, as well as not being able to ensure the quality of the product.\nCompanies like Airbnb, for example, he said, “have struggled to build up real density” and although they may have a “large amount of activities,” the bigger question is whether they actually are generating revenue for their tour and activities suppliers. “They need to be relevant stakeholders in these suppliers, but neither Marriott or Airbnb has been able to do that,” Reck said.\nHe questioned Marriott’s decision to partner with a metasearch platform such as PlacePass because these platforms don’t make it easy for consumers to easily compare the available inventory, or to assess the quality of a tour or activity because they are generally just aggregating the tours and activities from a variety of different suppliers.\n“Marriott has a bunch of experiences they want to offer, and curation is the right way to go [in presenting them] because it implies high quality, but to have that quality, you have to have a large network to pick from, with highly vetted suppliers,” Reck said. “I worry it may not be a great experience for Marriott customers.”\nTo that point, Linnartz said, “These partners are carefully chosen for their value, quality, and track record of delivering great experiences. Each provider has met a set of requirements in order to be featured on the platform and are additionally continually monitored based on customer reviews and feedback.”\nReck said that his own company’s experience with Facebook Messenger demonstrated that the messaging channel is best for handing customer service and is not primarily used as a booking channel. “It’s a nice thing to have, but it’s not a game changer.”\nAlthough Reck is skeptical that Marriott and PlacePass can vouch for the quality of experiences offered on the Moments platform, he does, however, believe that Marriott has an advantage in the form of its powerful loyalty membership.\n“They can really serve very specific types of activities based on the type of trip that a customer has,” Reck said. “That’s the piece I would dig into. I would really look into choosing one or two key partners I can build off of, and then focus on matching that content to the user base to leverage their internal customer data and come up with the best recommendations for their customers.”\nWhether Marriott is successful in creating its own tours and activities marketplace that can compete with the likes of GetYourGuide and TripAdvisor’s Viator, or other competitors such as Expedia and Booking that are also getting more deeply invested into the space, will ultimately depend on its ability to ensure quality and to personalize the guest experience in a way that others haven’t yet been able to do."}

{"text": "There seems to be a long running tradition across the internets of writing round-up posts at the beginning of the year. I’ve not yet done so and am starting to feel left out, so here’s a bit of a look back over the year.\nFirstly, our London shop did its usual pile of tastings through the year, from Colin Dunn’s Diageo Special Releases tasting (sign up to the mailing list now if you want to come to this year’s one…) to occasional shop inmate Ed Bates telling us of the wonders of Cognac. We even had a couple of special tastings, with the shop’s 8th birthday celebrations being preceded by the finest tasting of the year – Elegant Oldies, with me an m’former colleague Tim at the helm. After the Christmas break the tasting team are back on the case, and we’ve already starting booking up evenings for the next 12 months – there are already some treats on the list.\nSecondly, TWE HQ had a bit of a change, with summer seeing us move to a new warehouse. We’ve now got loads more space and our range of whisky and spirits has taken a bit of a jump, with lots of old bottles that we previously wouldn’t have had space for joining the huge numbers of new products that we have on our virtual shelves. At the time of writing we have a total of 7100 bottles, books and other random bits of pieces up on the site. Which is nice.\nBut what about releases? We put out some interesting whiskies under our own labels over the year, with a raft of new Single Malts of Scotland and Elements of Islay bottlings coming out. Add to that an exclusive Glendronach PX cask, an exclusive Midleton 1991 single cask and four excellent Signatory bottlings of whisky that we selected while up at Edradour in the spring, and you’ve got a rather nice range of whiskies. Along with those was the culmination of a couple of years of planning and work – the release of the Glenfarclas 1953 Coronation Decanter.\nWork on our Coronation bottling started shortly after I arrived at TWE back in 2011, with whisky selection and ideas of how to present it being bandied around in the office. It finally appeared in September 2013 as a very limited release that went down rather well with those who tried it – 93 from Serge, 95 from WhiskyCast, 5/5 from CLASS magazine, 94 from Dramming and some very appreciative tasting notes from Tim and I. They’ve sold rather well, but we still have a few left, both full-sized decanters and miniatures.\nWe also had one of our fastest selling whiskies of all time – our most recent Karuizawa 1981. An excellent whisky, but one that shot off the site incredibly quickly. Here’s a little graph showing the impact the release had on our site traffic:\nThe faint blue line is the total traffic on our website, dark blue is the amount of it that was to the Karuizawa page – about 80%… Can you see the point where it went on sale?\nThere will be another Karuizawa appearing soon and we’re looking into ways of making things a little bit easier both on our website and on those who want a bottle – we have plans, we’ll let you know when we decide on one.\nIt seems that other people also released some whiskies over the year, with the regular linchpins of the dramming year joined by a few new shiny things. Things started off as usual, with a new Glenmorangie Private Edition (the Jim Murray Whisky Bible ‘Best Whisky of 2013’ Ealanta), followed by a whole pile of whisky including Highland Park Loki, the Ardbeg Ardbog, Talisker Storm and Port Ruighe, Balvenie 12yo Single Barrel and Tun 1401 Batch 8, tasty things from Compass Box, Girvan Patent Still and the Diageo Special Releases.\nThere were also the super-shiny bottles, like the Macallan M, Bowmore 50yo (blog post coming soon…), Signatory’s Kinclaith 1969 (incredible whisky) and Royal Brackla’s ‘trickled out without any fanfare’ 35yo. And that’s “ignoring” the split of the Laing brothers and the steady stream of great bottlings coming from Douglas Laing, Hunter Laing, Adelphi, Berry Brothers, Gordon & Macphail and the rest of the indies. There’s been some pretty good whisky appearing this year.\nEven after all of that, I still liked the Tamdhu 10 the best and have even said nice things about it on the blog here. I am still lamenting the fact that they are bottling at 40% in the UK and 43% everywhere else – I tried the 43% version and it’s even better.\nDear Ian Macleod,\nPlease bottle Tamdhu 10yo at 43% in the UK. I will be your best friend and you can come to my birthday party.\nLove,\nBilly\nIf that won’t work, nothing will…\nWe finished the year off with a pair of excellent competitions – our Fine Spirits and Whisky Advent Calendar and a prize draw for a bottle of Hibiki 30. They are now both over and all the winners have been informed. The most impressive thing about them was the number of entries – we had over 230k entries in the Advent Calendar draw. Based on simple probability, if you entered every single day, that gave you about a 1/400 chance of winning something, which was a much better chance than winning the Hibiki draw. I suspect we may see the Advent Calendar return next year.\nI couldn’t finish a round-up of the year without mentioning our big event – The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show. It was even bigger than in 2013, with lots of whisky, food, people and stuff happening. We even had a bunch of rather excellent whiskies released at the show. We’re well into the organisation of the 2014 show and tickets should be on sale Real Soon Now. We could start selling them now, but we want to have a few more bits and pieces confirmed before we start taking people’s money. It will be in October again, with exact dates being announced when tickets go on sale. You can see what happened last year over here.\nLast, but far from least, we gave some awards. After much deliberation, intra-office guerilla warfare and a public tasting we came up with our top Whisky and Fine Spirit of the year – Glenfarclas 15 and Botanist Gin. The thing that pleased us most about the awards is that most people looked at them, considered for a bit and then went ‘Okay, that makes sense’. Which for me is the highest accolade an award for flavour can get.\nBut what of next year? Some of the regular things are already on their way – Glenmorangie Companta hits the market in a couple of weeks, rumours of Ardbeg Auriverdes and Highland Park Freya are making the rounds and there is already speculation on what the Diageo Special Releases will bring. I’m especially looking forward to a few exclusive Gordon & Macphail bottlings that we chose when visiting last year – the two they brought samples of down to the Whisky Show were excellent and I look forward to having a taste of the finished product when they hit our warehouse soon.\nAnything I’ve missed? Anything still to come that you’re looking forward to? Let us know – we like hearing from you all. Apart from Tim F, he just points out the mistakes I’ve made on the website without him here to guide me…\nTagged Ardbeg, Balvenie, botanist, Compass Box, edradour, Elements of Islay, girvan, Glenfarclas, Glenmorangie, Hibiki, Highland Park, Karuizawa, kinclaith, Macallan, Midleton, royal brackla, Signatory, Talisker, Tamdhu\n#Whisky 2013 – The TWEBlog review of the year: There seems to be a long running tradition across the internets…\n@domu888 2013 – The TWEBlog review of the year: There seems to be a long running tradition across the internet…"}

All payment systems we have today operate through a pull mechanism. You authorize permission to a merchant or an intermediary (like Paypal) to withdraw funds from your account by providing credentials (account number, billing address, etc) and you trust both the merchant and the intermediaries in between to secure your privileged information and to pull from your account responsibly.

{"text": "[San Jose, California USA]\nAfter an historic 2011, the US solar industry faces challenges to net metering, 1603 expiration, and ITC (Investment Tax Credit) policies and trade.\nIn one of three PV America West opening keynotes, all viewable here, Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch reflected on his tenure at the SEIA, the historic solar growth of 2011, and issues facing the US solar industry in 2012 and beyond.\nAs summarized in the “US Solar 2011 Year in Review in One Graphic”, United States PV (photovoltaic) installations grew a whopping 109% in 2011 more than doubling to 1.855 GigaWatt (GW) according to the GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) report “U.S. Solar Market Insight: 2011 Year-in-Review”.\nFor the second year in a row, solar was the fastest growing industry in the US at $8.4 Billion in 2011 up from $5.0 Billion in 2010. California continued as the number one solar market with 543 MW of new PV installations and led the nation’s residential and utility segments. New Jersey edged California in the commercial segment for the first time with 226 MW of PV installs versus 195 MW respectively.\nIn anecdotal comments, Rhone Resch said:\nThe Cinderella story of the solar industry, Hawaii, installed over 20 MegaWatts of residential systems last year alone.\nThe other sleeper, the Lehigh [Ed. Note: Lehigh University] of the solar industry, is Pennsylvania which installed 70 MW this last year. Just spectacular growth for that state.\nUS utility scale solar installations grew three fold to 758 MW in 2011. Mr. Resch claimed a 30 GW pipeline of utility scale solar projects was under development by large Independent Power Producers (IPP) and developers across the country.\nUS installed system costs in 2011 dropped on average 20% as a result of module price declines of almost 50%.\nNet Metering\nNet Metering or Net Energy Metering (NEM) policies are under attack as Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) assert the success of distributed solar is impacting non-solar electricity ratepayers, and NEM is therefore inequitable and unsustainable. In addition to promoting hard caps on distributed solar NEM, some utilities are seeking a standby or network use charge from solar customers.\nIn California, the 5% net metering cap may be hit by PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG) in 2013 leading to a repeat of the 2009 Solar Showdown before the NEM cap was raised from 2.5%. The SEIA “Solar Net Metering in California” policy sheet outlines the issue along with a proposed method to calculate NEM cap compliance using the aggregate of individual customer peak demand instead of utility peak demand as the denominator. The current California NEM law does not specify how utilities should calculate the 5% NEM cap, and the contention is the IOU’s calculation methodology overestimates NEM grid penetration. Per “Is PG&E Overestimating the Amount of Solar?”, PG&E has done this in the past by using the nameplate capacity of the inverter instead of the solar installation system rating.\nVote Solar has been at the forefront of efforts in California to defend Net Metering and protect solar NEM users from unfair fees. Vote Solar was one of parties successful in arguing against the legality of the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE:SRE), proposal for a Network Use Charge. Vote Solar has been continuing to make good on their New Year’s resolution to protect solar self-generation by organizing a net metering day of action at the California’s state capitol.\nNationwide, utilities are seeking to impose solar NEM fees with proposals under consideration in Massachusetts, Louisiana, and San Antonio, Texas. Virginia has already adopted a NEM standby charge on residential systems with capacity greater than 10 kW (kiloWatt).\n1603 Expiration\nOn the expiration of the 1603 program, Mr. Resch said:\nIt’s the most popular public policy for promoting renewable energy in the entire country (period). Over 22000 projects were helped financed through the 1603 program. It supports small businesses. In fact, 22000 solar projects were supported. The average size of those projects: $150000. Those are being developed, financed and put in the ground by small businesses. 1603 is absolutely critical.\nHowever, the Stabenow Amendment to a recent Transportation bill reauthorizing “Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes” extending the 1603 program was rejected in a United States Senate vote along party lines of 49:49 with 60 yea votes needed to approve. I don’t believe the 1603 can be extended before the November elections unless the program extension is part of budget compromise.\nSolar ITC at risk\nNot unlike the mid 1980’s, the very “backbone of solar energy policy in the United States”, the 30% ITC (Investment Tax Credit) is at risk from Federal tax reform. In separate statements, Mr. Resch said:\nFundamental corporate tax reform is beginning to happen right now in Washington, DC.\nIt could be a mistake for us to assume the ITC is safe.\nA confluence of events is aligning to force Congressional action on tax reform by the end of 2012. With the national debt viewed as unsustainable, automatic spending cuts will be triggered in early 2013 although the debt ceiling may need to be raised before the November elections because of the Payroll tax cut. Bush era tax cuts and other tax provisions are also set to expire at the end of the year.\nReducing the corporate tax rate while raising revenue is part of the emerging consensus solution gaining traction in both political parties. Eliminating tax preferences, such as the ITC, are the method to achieve both of the disparate tax reform goals. Everything is on the table in the tax reform discussion including changes to the home mortgage interest deduction, a cornerstone of the American Dream.\nA concerted push to repeal energy tax incentives in Washington can be expected over the next year and has already begun. The DeMint Amendment to the same Transportation Bill mentioned above would have terminated “certain energy tax subsidies and lower the corporate income tax rate” including the repeal of the ITC. Senator DeMint’s Amendment was rejected 26:72 but gained support from senators in states with strong solar markets or solar manufacturing centers such as Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, the self proclaimed Sunshine State.\nIn my opinion, the solar industry should be prepared to justify the ITC required in the later years of the existing incentive to insure the 30% level is appropriate given PV module price declines and future reductions in BOS (Balance of System) components and soft installation costs. Any extension of the ITC beyond 2016 must include a degression or be fixed at a low flat rate to foster the ongoing renewable energy transformation in support of US Energy Policy.\nTrade\nJust as the Department of Commerce (DOC) announced preliminary countervailing duties in the Chinese solar trade case (“Commerce Preliminarily Finds Countervailable Subsidization of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules from the People’s Republic of China”), the SEIA called for collaboration to create a “multilateral public private dialog on trade” and “develop consensus guidelines to avoid future trade disputes”. Mr. Resch said:\nSo we are working with our fellow trade organizations around the world to develop this multilateral framework that promotes free and fair trade to support open markets for solar energy in all countries around the world.\nTrade is a divisive issue, even in the same country, as the CASM (Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing) versus CASE (Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy) duel has illustrated. The SEIA is itself a microcosm of the global solar industry; SEIA Board Chairman Roger Efird is the Managing Director of Suntech America, Inc., a subsidiary of Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE:STP) and mandatory respondent in the DOC solar trade case. Of course, Suntech also repeated as the number one worldwide PV module manufacturer in 2011.\nI don’t envy the SEIA leadership in balancing the interests of their global membership and technology portfolio to create one voice for the US solar industry.\n(Full disclosure: Lehigh University is my undergraduate alma mater.)\nOne comment\nI personally don’t think the industry needs the ITC but I don’t think we need to eliminate it immediately either. If it does get chopped over night it won’t be the end of the world although I’m sure a lot of developers will lose their shirts. Live by the sword, die by the sword.\nRather than leave things up to the numb nuts in DC, the industry should bring a compromise bill to the table. A bill that gradually eliminates the ITC by around 5% per year until it’s phased out. In the meantime we also need to put a cap on the value of the tax credit. The 3rd party financing companies are defrauding the government and this has got to stop. if we put a cap on the tax credit of say $1000 per KW it would force the wholesalers and installers to install PV for fair prices."}

{"text": "UK set to keep State Aid law\nYou may be relieved or disappointment, depending on your point of view, at the news that the UK is set to keep state aid control.\nThe UK government has indicated that state aid law will be incorporated into UK law as part of the EU withdrawal bill. Interestingly the government minister responsible has stated that the state aid structure, not just the regulations will be adopted. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been nominated to take the role of the EU Commission as the independent arbitrator of state aid compliance.\nMinister, Andrew Griffith's letter/statement confirming this position is not a surprise. UK governments (of all persuasions) have steadfastly supported the state aid framework as a tool to ensure fair competition by eliminating 'unfair' and often counterproductive public/taxpayer subsidies (anyone remember British Leyland). The government appears keen to ensure that neither the UK nor EU descend into 1960s style subsidy wars following Brexit.\nHow does it affect my organisation?\nSubject to the Brexit negotiation mantra of 'nothing is agreed until everything is agreed' public and private sector organisations should assume that existing state aid regulation will apply during and after the Brexit transition period.\nFollowing that, there is scope for divergence between the details of the respective EU and UK versions of state aid law, though the fundamental principle (of preventing the distortion of competition) will be identical and both will be underpinned by World Trade Organisation requirements. This approach is not new for England/the UK. The legal divergence between it and commonwealth countries since the 1950s followed a similar path. We can expect that the UK courts (who will replace the EU court for UK state aid cases) will consider EU state aid decisions/judgements as persuasive legal authorities, without being bound to accept them as binding decisions which must be followed in the UK.\nClarity with reservations\nAndrew Griffith's statement/letter provides some clarity to public authorities and businesses. However, there are still details concerning future UK state aid control which we don't yet have visibility about. It is possible that this will not be provided until the end of the Brexit transition period. One is the ability/right of UK and EU businesses and public bodies to challenge the EU Commission's and/or the CMA's state aid decisions in the others jurisdiction.\nWithout this right how would a British company effectively object to, say, an Irish breach of state aid law which affected its business? Relying on merely an interstate arrangement (e.g. only the UK government or EU Commission) for challenges is likely to be less effective, for businesses, as diplomatic and geo-political considerations could make either reluctant to challenge the others state aid breaches. As an example, if the UK's current dispute with Russia was to reoccur post Brexit then, it is possible that the UK government would not raise a state aid breach with the EU if a consequence could be to alienate military allies such as Germany, France or the Netherlands.\nAnother, which is ordinarily a matter for law students, is the difference in jurisprudence between most of the UK and the EU. At its simplest this is how the courts and lawyers interpret the law. The common law system (used in most of the UK) is a detailed rules based system – e.g. the law will expressly prohibit/permit something – and this is usually set out in detail. The EU legal system is rooted in civil law and is based on, more general, written principles rather than a detailed list of rules. Interpreting those principles is more nuanced than under our common law system.\nIt is not clear whether the UK will continue to interpret state law under the EU's civil law system or revert to our common law ways. Unfortunately, this legal difference is not just of academic interest. Many English lawyers, due to legal training, already have a tendency to translate EU state aid law using the common law approach, with negative consequences for UK plc. Legitimate public sector interventions can be stifled due to a 'common law' lawyer reading EU state aid regulations expecting (and failing) to find a detailed rule permitting aid (as might be expected under common law). We are hope that the UK retains a civil law approach to state aid law as otherwise, the UK is likely to be over cautious in deciding whether public support for legitimate economic and social programmes is compatible (lawful state aid)."}

{"text": "I learned a lot making my contribution for the All We Are Saying peace blanket. As soon as I started, I should have known geometry would rear its ugly head. All I wanted to do was make a circle in a square using yarn.\nMISTAKE NUMBER ONE: Deciding to make a circle.\nCrochet rocks flat circles, as the wonderful mandalas designed by Marinke prove. However, I have a lot more experience with knitting, and since I need a square to go around my circle, I decided to knit instead of crocheting.\nMISTAKE NUMBER TWO: Thinking “I should knit this!”\nI know that knitting a flat circular shape is possible. In fact, I was certain it would be easy. The sides of the East Meets West Satchel I made a few years ago were originally knit as one big flat circle. (Actually, it’s a decagon — a polygon with ten sides. But it approximates a circle and generates a circular pattern, which is what I wanted.) The only trick was figuring out how many stitches to increase by as the circle got bigger.\nMy first “circle” was a complete experiment. I just added stitches when it felt right. Not surprisingly, when the piece was big enough to transfer from double-pointed needles to a circular needle, I discovered that my circle was actually a circle and a half and not even remotely flat.\nMISTAKE NUMBER THREE: Winging it.\nSince I had a deadline to meet, I stopped re-inventing the wheel. I got online and found a pattern for knitting flat circles. The pattern was simple and what I expected. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. After 10 rows, my flat circle looked like a mouse hat. I figured I was doing something wrong, unraveled it, and tried again. I got a cup, when I wanted a coaster.\nBy now, I was annoyed. The pattern promised a flat circle but didn’t actually make a flat circle. The pattern didn’t say anything about gauge (the size of the stitches). The instructions were extrapolated from another pattern, and the knitter must have used yarn and needles similar to those called for in the original pattern, because the circle in the picture is flat. I tried to fix the non-flat circle pattern with my own adjustments. Things improved, but the circle wasn’t flat no matter what I did.\nMISTAKE NUMBER FOUR: Trying to fix something that was clearly broken.\nI stepped back and thought about what I was doing, and that’s when the light bulb went off. If the size of the stitches mattered, then I needed to apply geometry.\nTHE THING I DID RIGHT: Stopping a minute to think about what I was trying to do.\nTHE OTHER THING I DID RIGHT: Realizing geometry was the answer.\nMath often comes up when knitting, so I wasn’t completely daunted. However I got a C in geometry in high school, something my husband loves to tease me about since I also worked as a computer programmer for years. Although I am good at math in general, I’m not quite as confident when I have to use my ancient C-level geometry skills.\nThe key was to think about the circles my knitting was making. I looked up the equation for calculating the circumference of a circle (2πr) to make sure I had it right. Then I got out my gauge swatch (which I already had for this particular yarn and needle size) to measure both the height and width of my knit stitch.\nI calculated number of stitches for the outside edge of each successive row of my circle and noticed a pattern was forming. The difference between the outer circumference of adjacent rows of knitting was a fixed number and that number told me exactly how many stitches I needed to increase in every row to get a flat circle. When I did the algebra (which is probably where I should have started), I found the single equation used in my simple pattern.\nI sat down to knit, finally certain I would have my circle. However, increasing by five stitches in the same places every round gave me a pentagon, not a circle.\nMISTAKE NUMBER FIVE: Spacing my increases at regular intervals.\nI started again, this time knowing what I needed to do: increase by the same number of stitches in every row, at irregular intervals. Finally, I got something circular in design.\nThat I had to chase my tail a bit before realizing the elegant and simple solution to my knitting problem could be construed as proof that my C in geometry was well-deserved. However, I’d like to think my teacher would be proud to learn that more than 30 years later, I am finding ways to use geometry in my everyday life.\nOf course, my ordeal was not yet over. I had to solve the problem of adding corners to my circle to make a square, plus my first block came out too large and I had to do it all over AGAIN. In the end, I think all the effort was worth it. My finished work is on display, starting today, along with the other textile contributions about world peace at the All We Are Saying show in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.\n12 thoughts on “Trying To Knit A Flat Circle? Geometry to the Rescue!”\nWho knew a circle would be so much work? Can you share a picture of your quilt square? And finally is there a link where we can see the finished quilt?\nI certainly didn’t think knitting a circle would take this much effort!\nYou can see my square for the blanket in this post:\nI don’t think they’ll have constructed the final blankets until after the show (which started yesterday). I’ll be sure to provide links to that stuff when I have them.\nLovely colors. Good work!\nThanks. I had fun mixing the yarn as I knitted.\nI am a research assistant at Indiana University working on Recrafting Math. I looked at your math chart but don’t understand it. Would you be willing to share the math involved. I was good at geometry 30 years ago but can’t remember a thing! Thanks.\nLikeLiked by 1 person\nI didn’t include the math because I didn’t think anyone would care! It’s actually pretty simple. The number of stitches to increase from one row to the next depends on how much bigger around the next circle is. So you have two circles with the same center. The first circle has a radius of r. The second has a radius of r + N. What we want to know is the difference in the circumferences. Since circumference = 2*pi*r, the calculation is 2*pi*(r+N) – 2*pi*r. Expand and cancel, and you get 2*pi*N. If we know N (we do: it’s the height of our knit stitch), we can calculate the difference in inches. Then you just multiply by your gauge (stitches/inch) to get the number of stitches to increase by for each row.\nI hope this makes sense!\nI don’t know if you saw it, but the final pattern is here:\nHi can you please post the pattern to this circle?\nIt’s already up. Here’s the link: My Simple Pattern for Knitting a Flat Circle or Polygon"}
