Bio: Brandt, Mr./Mrs. Nyle (Wedding Shower - Surnames: Brandt, Berrett ----Source: Greenwood Gleaner (Greenwood, Clark Co., Wis.) 23 Apr 1953 Brandt, Mr./Mrs. Nyle (Wedding Shower - 8 APR 1953) A wedding shower and reception were given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Nyle Brandt, Wednesday evening, April 8th, 1953 in the church parlors of the Assembly of God Church at Fond du Lac, Wis., of which Rev. O.W. Apple is pastor. A very interesting program consisting of solos, duets, instrumental numbers and declamations was planned and presented by members and friends of whom there were fifty-six in attendance. The room was attractively decorated with red and white streamers. Two special chairs were trimmed for the bride and groom. Red and white candles and a beautiful white tier cake decorated with crystal ball sand red roses with silver leaves furnished the table decorations. The bride wore her white gabardine wedding suit with a red rose corsage and red accessories. The groom was attired in a blue suit with a white carnation boutonniere. Out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Brandt and Romella and James Berrett of Greenwood. The honor couple received many beautiful gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Nyle Brandt are now living in Fond du Lac where Mr. Brandt is employed. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998.

There are six players remaining in the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event and Maria Ho has once again bagged the chip lead at the King's Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. During the middle portions of play on Thursday, Ho extended her lead to almost 5,000,000 but as the evening went on and the shorter stacks started to shove, she fell back closer to the field. Marti Roca De Torres gained the most ground and bagged only 620,000 less than Ho going to the final day. Roca De Torres is an 888poker online qualifier and he won his spot in the tournament for a little over $200. He is already guaranteed a massive return on his investment — all six remaining players are guaranteed at least $174,365 — but he is definitely in a good spot to make a run at the title entering the final day second in chips. Here is the seating chart and the end of day chip counts for the final day of the 2017 WSOPE Main Event: \|1\|\|Niall Farrell\|\|United Kingdom\|\|3,025,000\|\|30\| \|3\|\|Maria Ho\|\|United States\|\|7,830,000\|\|78\| \|4\|\|Robert Bickley\|\|United Kingdom\|\|1,085,000\|\|11\| \|6\|\|Marti Roca De Torres\|\|Spain\|\|7,260,000\|\|72\| Ho will enter the day with the chip lead for the third day in a row, but said that it's too early to get excited about the possibility of winning her first bracelet — she will get excited if she wins. Her confidence is high and she spoke about it after bagging the top stack. In regards to her set of tens fold in a hand against Niall Farrell on Day 4, one that several people have commented on over the last few days, she said, "I made a decision that I thought was the right decision even thought it might not have been G-T-O." She says it is important to feel comfortable with the decisions she makes, especially when those decisions are made in front of an online audience. The final day of the WSOPE marks the end of a great series at King's Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. The final six players represent four different countries and three of them hail from the United Kingdom. Niall Farrell is one of the players from the UK and he has already had a successful series, earning his first WSOP gold bracelet in the €25,000 No-Limit High Roller. He enters the day fourth in chips, but is excited to be through to Day 6. The defending champion, Kevin MacPhee, entered Day 5 with hopes of successfully defending his title, but he ended up busting in tenth place. It was a wild end to the tournament for him after he rivered a one-outer to survive a huge all in against Marc MacDonnell (11th place), but then couldn't dodge Ho's combo draw when he got kings all in on the turn. He made a set on the river, but Ho made a king-high straight and sent MacPhee home before the final table.	2018-03-18T17:34:24Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645830.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318165408-20180318185408-00181.warc.gz	en	0.968151	650	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:ca239ca6-f008-47b8-8c12-818973617fea>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://1stspade.com/tinas/maria-ho-bags-chip-lead-again-with-six-remaining-in-wsope-main-event-pokernews" }
Definite archaeological remains of the early Goths are even more elusive than clear literary references. Part of the problem concerns dating: the are many sites which offer possible remains of Gothic culture, but the relevant timeframes are difficult to establish. In general closed archaeological finds (e.g. burial finds) with Roman coins and pottery provide the best sources for dating, but the time lag between production and placement leaves a certain amount of uncertainty. It is therefore easier to establish relative chronology by looking at the development of certain specific types of objects, e.g. brooches, buckles, pots, combs. The simpler forms are considered earlier, the more complex later. Such dating, however, does not apply well to individual objects, rather only to groups of objects. The more objects in a closed area, the more secure the relative chronology. This still leaves open a crucial issue, namely that a material culture is not the same as an ethnic culture, or even political, social, or linguistic culture. Material items, and technology in general, have the ability to move across socio-ethnic boundaries much quicker than linguistic or ethnic traits. When however archaeologists discover not only continuity of material items, but also of ritual practice, such as burial rites, then this strengthens the argument that the material in question is associated with a somewhat homogenous culture. Keeping these caveats in mind, then, we may discuss the two cultures on which archaeologists have focused in their attempts to find physical traces of the Goths. The Wielbark culture is named after an area in the north of present-day Poland in which many characteristic remains were discovered. This material culture formed in the middle of 1st century AD in Pomerania on both sides of the Vistula, which is roughly the area in which Tacitus, Ptolemy, and Strabo place the Goths, and at roughly the same time. An early phase of development lasted for roughly a century. Then followed a second phase which spread over a wider area, first encompassing the northernmost regions of Poland and Mazovia east of the Vistula (c. 160-210), and then extending farther south along the Vistula, San, and Bug rivers into Byelorussia, Volhynia, and northern Ukraine (c. 180-230). This area is where the Chernjakhov culture, discussed below, later developed. The Wielbark culture is characterized by stone circles found in cemeteries. In trying to align the movement of this culture with the picture presented in the literary record, especially as pertains to the purported Scandinavian origin of the Goths, it is important to find traits common to material cultures both in Scandinavia and on the southern shore of the Baltic, and furthermore among which the Scandinavian finds are the clear antecedents. These stone circles in cemeteries are the only practice found to be earlier in Scandinavia than on the European mainland. They do not, however, appear in the earliest Wielbark cemeteries. Another trait of the culture is that inhumation and cremation graves are found side by side in Wielbark cemeteries. Surrounding burial sites do not display this two-fold practice, but instead display only cremation burials. A rather peculiar trait is that the members of the Wielbark culture did not bury iron objects, most importantly weapons, with any male dead. By contrast, the surrounding sites, as well as earlier inhabitants of the same areas, did bury iron weapons with the dead. Thus, if this culture does in fact represent the archaeological remains of the Goths, they appear to have broken with the typical Germanic tradition of burying the dead with their weapons. In addition, women's dress, at least in burials, was characterized by a double brooch, one on each shoulder. The period of the second phase of the Wielbark culture coincides with the Marcomannic wars, c. 150 AD, which caused dramatic changes in the material cultures of present-day Poland. This phase of the Wielbark culture spread into the area of the Przeworsk culture, the area south of Pomerania, between the Notec and Warta rivers, and to Masovia in the southeast. The period 180-300 AD finds not only the expansion of Wielbark culture, but the incorporation of Wielbark traits into other cultures, particularly the Chernjakhov. The Chernjakhov culture began in the middle of the 3rd century. It reached its fullest extent in the 4th century, covering a large area between the Danube and Don, to the north and west of the Black Sea, and to the south and east of the Carpathian mountains. The temporal overlap with the Wielbark culture is also physically accompanied by shared features of material culture, particularly handmade pottery, some types of brooch, and the style of women's dress. More intriguing, perhaps, are the shared cultural practices. As with the Wielbark culture, the Chernjakhov culture left behind cemeteries with mixed inhumation and cremation burials. The majority of Chernjakhov inhumation graves are placed along a north-south line, with the head of the deceased to the north. Also like the Wielbark culture, the Chernjakhov culture did not bury weapons with their male dead. There are however a few cemeteries in Cozia-Iasi, Todireni, and Braniste where the dead were buried with weapons. These weapons may have originated outside the Wielbark culture, though, perhaps in Przeworsk; the other equipment is consonant with the idea of Germanic intruders from the north. They also buried some wheel-made pottery with the dead, as well as some bone combs and iron implements. The houses of the Chernjakhov culture are of two types. The most numerous are sunken huts. These are usually rectangular, though there are some with a more oval shape. These huts are cut into the ground, some so deep that only roofing would need to be added. The earthen floors are generally between 5 and 16 square meters. The walls were wattle and daub, and each house had a hearth. The other type of houses were surface dwellings. These are often found in the same settlements as the sunken huts. The smaller ones are usually between 6 and 8 square meters, the larger between 11 and 16 square meters. They were divided in two parts, one providing quarters for people, the other for animals. If the Chernjakhov culture is in fact the continuation of the Wielbark culture, then the shared burial practices, as well as the shared mode of women's dress and the style of other implements, show not only a carryover of material culture, but also a carryover of social customs and beliefs. The Wielbark culture did not nevertheless cease to exist when the Chernjakhov culture began. The latter is therefore unlikely to be the result of a near total migration of the former. The following passage, Luke 2:41-52, gives an account of an incident in Jesus's boyhood, the only boyhood incident reported in the New Testament. Luke says that Jesus was twelve years old: the Gothic translates twalibwintrus, literally 'twelve winters' (Luke 2.42). Ancient Germanic cultures often used 'winter' as an equivalent of 'year' when reckoning spans of time. Similar constructions occur in both the Old English Beowulf and the Old Saxon Heliand: xii wintra tīd 'a span of twelve winters' (B.147); gebad wintra worn 'he endured countless winters' (B.264); Huand wit habdun aldres ēr efno tuēntig uuintro an uncro uueroldi, ēr than quāmi that uuīb ti mi 'the two of us had an age of about twenty winters in our world when that woman came to me' (H.144-145). Even the Old English translation of this biblical passage has and ða he wæs twelf wintre, hy foron to Hierusalem 'and when he was twelve winters (old), they went to Jerusalem'. This phrase is followed by an example of the Gothic dative absolute: jah biþē warþ twalibwintrus, usgaggandam þan im in Iaírusaúlwma bi biūhtja dulþáis jah ustiuhandam þans dagans, literally 'when he became twelve-years-old, (with) them then going out to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast, and (with them) fulfilling the days...' (Luke 2.42-43). These absolute constructions constitute a substantive and associated participle to give what would be in English a subordinate clause. Luke 2.48 provides a notable instance in which Gothic employs the plural where one might expect the dual: ƕa gatawides uns swa? sai, sa atta þeins jah ik winnandona sokidedum þuk 'why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.' Here uns and sokidedum clearly refer to Mary and Joseph, and so the reader might expect the dual ugkis for uns and the dual sokidedu for sokidedum. Evidently the dual in Gothic, as in many other Indo-European languages, was a category in decline (by the time of the New Testament it had completely fallen out of the Greek language). In this particular instance, as some scholars suggest, the difference in gender (as evidenced by the neuter form of the adjective winnandona) might have triggered the use of the plural in place of the dual. But in other passages we find the plural replacing the dual with no obvious trigger. Luke 2.49 also begins with an interesting collocation: ƕa þatei sōkidēduþ mik? The phrase ƕa þatei is a compressed phrase 'what is this?', the þata then pointing to what follows, hence the relative marker ei. This phrase has, by the time of the Gothic text, become frozen as a way of saying 'why'. A similar development happened within Latin during the Middle Ages, where quid est quod -- literally 'what is (this, the fact) that...' -- came simply to denote 'why'. 2:41 - jah wratodedun þai birusjos is jera ƕammeh in Iairusalem at dulþ paska. 42 - jah biþe warþ twalibwintrus, usgaggandam þan im in Iairusaulwma bi biuhtja dulþais, 43 - jah ustiuhandam þans dagans, miþþane gawandidedun sik aftra, gastoþ Iesus sa magus in Iairusalem, jah ni wissedun Iosef jah aiþei is. 44 - hugjandona in gasinþjam ina wisan qemun dagis wig jah sokidedun ina in ganiþjam jah in kunþam. 45 - jah ni bigitandona ina gawandidedun sik in Iairusalem sokjandona ina. 46 - jah warþ afar dagans þrins, bigetun ina in alh sitandan in midjaim laisarjam jah hausjandan im jah fraihnandan ins. 47 - usgeisnodedun þan allai þai hausjandans is ana frodein jah andawaurdjam is. 48 - jah gasaiƕandans ina sildaleikidedun, jah qaþ du imma so aiþei is: magau, ƕa gatawides uns swa? sai, sa atta þeins jah ik winnandona sokidedum þuk. 49 - jah qaþ du im: ƕa þatei sokideduþ mik? niu wisseduþ þatei in þaim attins meinis skulda wisan? 50 - jah ija ni froþun þamma waurda þatei rodida du im. 51 - jah iddja miþ im jah qam in Nazaraiþ, jah was ufhausjands im; jah aiþei is gafastaida þo waurda alla in hairtin seinamma. 52 - jah Iesus þaih frodein jah wahstau jah anstai at guda jah mannam. 2:41 jah wratodedun þai birusjos is jera ƕammeh in Iairusalem at dulþ paska. 42 jah biþe warþ twalibwintrus, usgaggandam þan im in Iairusaulwma bi biuhtja dulþais, 43 jah ustiuhandam þans dagans, miþþane gawandidedun sik aftra, gastoþ Iesus sa magus in Iairusalem, jah ni wissedun Iosef jah aiþei is. 44 hugjandona in gasinþjam ina wisan qemun dagis wig jah sokidedun ina in ganiþjam jah in kunþam. 45 jah ni bigitandona ina gawandidedun sik in Iairusalem sokjandona ina. 46 jah warþ afar dagans þrins, bigetun ina in alh sitandan in midjaim laisarjam jah hausjandan im jah fraihnandan ins. 47 usgeisnodedun þan allai þai hausjandans is ana frodein jah andawaurdjam is. 48 jah gasaiƕandans ina sildaleikidedun, jah qaþ du imma so aiþei is: magau, ƕa gatawides uns swa? sai, sa atta þeins jah ik winnandona sokidedum þuk. 49 jah qaþ du im: ƕa þatei sokideduþ mik? niu wisseduþ þatei in þaim attins meinis skulda wisan? 50 jah ija ni froþun þamma waurda þatei rodida du im. 51 jah iddja miþ im jah qam in Nazaraiþ, jah was ufhausjands im; jah aiþei is gafastaida þo waurda alla in hairtin seinamma. 52 jah Iesus þaih frodein jah wahstau jah anstai at guda jah mannam. From the King James version: 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. The most conspicuous sound shift affecting the Germanic languages is Grimm's Law. According to this rule, the following sound correspondences obtain between Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Germanic: \|p, t, k remain unchanged after s, and\| \|t remains unchanged after p, k.\| Certain discrepancies in the correspondences appear upon closer inspection of the data. In particular, one frequently finds that the Germanic voiceless spirants (f, þ, x, xw) and s become voiced: \|f, þ, x, xw, s > v, ð, ḡ, ḡw, z.\| Many of these counterexamples are explained by Verner's Law. This states that the voiceless spirants remain when initial, or when immediately preceded by the PIE accent. For example, t > þ in PIE bhréH-ter > Gothic broþar, but t > ð in PIE pH-tér > fadar [faðar]. Note in this last example that initial p > f, with no voicing. Consider the following examples: \|p-\|\|podós (Gk.)\|\|f-\|\|fōtáus 'of the foot'\|\|p > f\|\|Grimm\| \|-p-\|\|kléptēs (Gk.)\|\|-f-\|\|hliftus 'thief'\|\|p > f\|\|Grimm\| \|-p-\|\|kapálam (Skt.)\|\|-v-\|\|háubiþ 'head'\|\|p > v\|\|Verner\| \|t-\|\|tu (Lat.)\|\|þ-\|\|þu 'thou'\|\|t > þ\|\|Grimm\| \|-t-\|\|várte (Skt.)\|\|-þ-\|\|waírþa 'I become'\|\|t > þ\|\|Grimm\| \|-t-\|\|patér (Gk.)\|\|-ð-\|\|fadar 'father'\|\|t > ð\|\|Verner\| \|k-\|\|cordis (Lat.)\|\|x-\|\|haírtins 'of the heart'\|\|k > x\|\|Grimm\| \|-k-\|\|déka (Gk.)\|\|-x-\|\|taíhun 'ten'\|\|k > x\|\|Grimm\| \|k-\|\|com-mūnis (Lat.)\|\|-ḡ-\|\|ga-máins 'common'\|\|k > ḡ\|\|Verner\| \|s-\|\|sá (Skt.)\|\|s-\|\|sa 'that'\|\|s > s\|\|Grimm\| \|-s-\|\|geú(s)ō (Gk.)\|\|-s-\|\|kiusa 'I choose'\|\|s > s\|\|Grimm\| \|-s-\|\|bhárase (Skt.)\|\|-z-\|\|baíraza 'art borne'\|\|s > z\|\|Verner\| Note in the instance of Latin commūnis and Gothic gamáins that Verner's Law applies to proclitics. The example of Sanskrit bhárase and Gothic baíraza illustrates that the accent must be on the vowel immediately preceding the consonant for Grimm's Law to apply. Among the ancient Germanic languages Gothic is uniquely conservative in terms of phonology. As will be seen in the section on the weak preterite, the dental suffix retains a fuller expression than in languages such as Old English or Old Norse. Gothic also preserves a situation which precedes regular umlaut due to i in a following syllable. For example, compare Gothic alþeis 'old' and alþiza 'older' to Old English eald and ieldra, respectively; similarly compare PGmc. gastiz > Goth. gasts to Old Norse gestr. Gothic does, however, show some important sound changes. Some of the more notable examples appear below. 6.2.1 Initial fl- Initial fl- > þl- in syllables ending in h /x/. Compare Old Saxon and Old High German fliohan 'flee' to Gothic þliuhan. The same may also occur in stems ending in q /kw/: for example, Gothic þlaqus 'putting out leaves, tender' with possible relation to Old High German flah 'flat', Latin placidus ('flat, even' and hence) 'gentle, quiet'. The change *fl- > þl- does not occur in stems with other final consonants. For example, compare Gothic flōdus to Old English and Old Saxon flōd 'flood, stream'. 6.2.2 Final -s As mentioned in Section 3.1, final -s > zero before (short vowel) + (consonantal r). For example, waír + -s > waír 'man'; similarly baúr 'son', anþar 'second', unsar 'our'. Compare dags 'day', gasts 'guest', akrs 'field', swērs 'honored', skeirs 'clear', G brōþrs 'of a brother'. Additionally, -s > zero before stem-final s. For example, runs + -s > runs 'a running'. Compare accusative runs, showing the s is part of the stem, not the nominative ending. Several sound changes occur frequently when consonants become final in the past tense or combine with the second person singular past tense ending -t. These are collected here for reference. Several nouns have stems ending in i. As mentioned above, this does not lead to regular umlaut of the root vowel as it does in other Germanic languages such as Old Norse and Old English. The nouns gards 'court', staþs 'place', and gasts 'guest' illustrate the masculine forms of the i-declension; ansts 'grace', fahēþs 'joy', and qēns 'woman' illustrate the feminine forms. Recall that ei is the Gothic spelling of [ī]. Note that, because of the lack of umlaut, the singular forms of masculine i-stems parallel those of the a-stems. Feminine abstract nouns in -ōns and -áins, derived from verbs of the second and third weak conjugation, decline like ansts. For example, laþōns 'invitation' from laþōn 'to invite', mitōns 'a thought' from mitōn 'to think over', bauáins 'a dwelling' from bauan 'to inhabit', libáins 'life' from liban 'to live'. Some nouns which belong to the i-declension in Gothic belong to the a-declension in sister languages. For example, compare Gothic gards to the Old Norse a-stem garðr, but Goth. gasts and ON gestr are both i-declension. By contrast, Gothic qēns appears both as i-stem in the Eddic form kvæn and as the ōn-stem kona (G pl. kvenna) in Old Norse. The masculine noun náus 'corpse' has plural forms N. naweis and A. nawins. The feminine noun háims 'village' follows the declension of ansts in the singular, but follows the ō-stem giba in the plural (see Section 3.2). Feminine abstract nouns in -eins follow the declension of ansts, except for N pl. -ōs and G pl. -ō. The forms of the masculine náus 'corpse' and of the feminine háims 'village' and láiseins 'doctrine' are given below. The u-stem nouns appear in all genders, though there are few remnants of neuter forms. The masculine sunus 'son', feminine handus 'hand', and neuter faíhu 'cattle' illustrate the declension. Some scribes write N sg. sunáus beside sunus, D sg. sunu beside sunáu, and V sg. sunáu beside sunu. The neuter noun filu 'much' falls under this declension, with G sg. filáus used adverbially with comparatives in the sense 'very'. Because of the rich morphology of the Gothic verb, subject pronouns are generally unnecessary. They are used only for emphasis. In addition to singular and plural, the first and second person pronouns also distinguish a dual number, e.g. wit 'we two', igqara 'of you two'. The forms of the Gothic first and second person pronouns are as follows. \|1st Person\|\|2nd Person\| Note that the first person plural A uns and D unsis often interchange with one another. The oblique forms fill the role of first and second person reflexive pronouns, so that e.g. Modern English 'I hit myself' would be more literally in Gothic 'I hit me'. The third person pronoun is built from a stem i-. Unlike the first and second person pronouns, these do not serve as reflexives. Instead the forms sik, seina, sis serve as reflexives. Though the forms are singular, they serve as reflexives for all genders and numbers. Thus the reflexive of is in the accusative is sik 'himself', and likewise the reflexive of neut. N pl. ija in the accusative is sik 'themselves'. The forms of the third person pronoun and the reflexive are given below. Weak verbs form a category separate from strong verbs. Whereas vowel gradation (ablaut) characterizes strong verbs (cf. Modern English sing-sang-sung-song), this is not so for weak verbs. Rather the addition of a dental suffix -d- in the past tense characterizes weak verbs (cf. Modern English arrive-arrived). This dental suffix is appended to the verbal stem, before the addition of personal endings. The dental suffix is found not only in finite verbal forms, but also in the past participle (cf. Modern English 'That problem, addressed by Einstein, was the beginning of modern quantum theory'). Gothic has four classes of weak verbs. These classes are distinguished by the vowel which precedes the dental suffix, and the presence or absence of a nasal appended to the stem: -i-, -ō-, -ái-, -nō-. These correlate with different forms of the infinitive. The following chart lists examples of the Gothic weak verb classes. \|Class\|\|Preterite (1/3 Sg.)\|\|Infinitive\|\|Meaning\| The class i verb nasjan 'save' illustrates the active forms of the weak verb. All present forms derive from the infinitive, minus the -an ending. All past forms contain the dental suffix. Note that all finite preterite forms, except for the singular indicative, contain the suffix -dēd- rather than simply -d-. As with the strong verbs, the morphological mediopassive has only present forms. The forms of nasjan 'save' illustrate the paradigm. There are no forms for the dual. Be careful to note that the -d- of the mediopassive forms is found in all verbs, strong and weak; it is not to be confused with the -d- of the weak dental preterite. The stem of these forms derives from the infinitive, as with the present active forms. Gothic makes use of a number of conjunctions. The simple joining of two clauses in a copulative fashion is most often accomplished with jah 'and'. This conjunction stands as the first element in its clause: warþ hūhrus abrs and gawi jáinata, jah is dugann alaþarba waírþan 'a great famine came over that people, and he started to become very poor' (Luke 15.14). jah is also found sentence-initially, continuing a previous sentence in a style parallel to Greek kaí in the New Testament. The enclitic -uh 'and' affixes to the first word of its clause: Galáiþ in praitaúria aftra Peilātus jah wōpida Iēsu qaþuh imma... 'Pilate came into the pretorium again and called Jesus and said to him...' (John 18.33). Following iþ 'but', the conjunction -uh generally attaches to the verb of the clause: iþ Iesus iddjuh miþ im 'and then Jesus went with them' (Luke 7.6). The negative copulative is nih 'and not', a combination of ni 'not' and -uh. nih generally stands at the beginning of its clause: ni maúrnáiþ sáiwalái izwarái ƕa matjáiþ jah ƕa drigkáiþ nih leika izwaramma ƕē wasjáiþ 'have no thought for your life, what you shall eat and what you shall drink; nor for your body, how you shall dress' (Matthew 6.25). The general disjunctive particle is aíþþáu 'or'. The sequence 'either... or' is typically jabái... aíþþáu or andizuh... aíþþáu. For example, untē jabái fijáiþ áinana jah anþarana frijōþ, aíþþáu áinamma ufháuseiþ iþ anþaramma frakann 'for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other' (Matthew 6.24). In direct questions of a disjunctive nature one finds -u... þáu '(either)... or', where -u is appended to the first word of the first question: abu þus silbin þu þata qiþis, þáu anþarái þus qēþun bi mik? 'Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?' (John 18.34) Indirect disjunctive questions usually omit -u, though þáu remains to mark the second part. There are several adversative particles: iþ, aþþan, ak, akei. These generally stand at the head of their clause: Háusidēduþ þatei qiþan ist þáim áirizam: ni maúrþrjáis; iþ saei maúrþreiþ skula waírþiþ stauái. aþþan ik qiþa izwis... 'Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you...' (Matthew 5.21-22). The particle ak generally follows a negative introduction, while akei follows a positive. For example, ni hugei hauhaba, ak ogs 'Be not highminded, but fear' (Romans 11.20); compare all binah, akei ni all daug 'All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient' (1 Cor. 10.23). The main causal conjunctions are áuk, allis, raíhtis, untē. The particles áuk, allis, raíhtis generally occupy second position in their clause, though áuk and raíhtis may also occupy third position. For example: mahteigs áuk ist 'for [God] is able' (Romans 14.4); maht wēsi áuk 'For it might have been' (Mark 14.5). áuk may combine with raíhtis or allis: sa áuk raíhtis 'for he' (Mark 6.17); saei áuk allis 'for whoever' (Mark 9.41). By contrast, untē 'for, because, until' occupies the first position in its clause: áudagái þái hráinjahaírtans, untē þái guþ gasaiƕand 'Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God' (Matthew 5.8).

wow to the comments above, fact is blizzard is a huge franchise and they still cant release a smooth patch, The main battleground lags EVERY FIGHT, and thats with both of the servers i play on. The world of warcraft has become somewhat of a joke, those who buy gold online are running a muck, Blizzard also finds new ways to get your hard earned money every month, whether it is an in game pet for donating 10$, or a special mount you get for participating in a "trading card game" If you didnt get into the world when it started, i suggest you do not do it now. Every new patch is just to keep those senior players paying, and when it comes to getting your moneys worth, YOU DONT. All in all, its a grind fest up to lvl 80, and after that most people end up just running around in circles and talking out loud in trade chat. All in all, wow has been taken over by senior players who lost their manners years ago, and its now a BUSINESS rather then a game.	2015-04-18T19:34:44Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246636104.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045716-00168-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.969573	217	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-18", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:85b30fb3-f83a-43ee-9bea-317cf9fabf0b>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.gamerevolution.com/mreview/pc/world-of-warcraft/karkonis" }
Replete with subtle dialogue and irony, Kalinoski’s work relentlessly examines the fragility of human life and relationships. In his plays, relationship is an arena where individuals struggle, and sometimes fail, to resolve the impact of external and internal traumas in their lives. His plays, while often dealing with globally proportioned issues, such as racism, war and genocide, consistently inhabit the realm of personal relationships. In his work, Kalinoski puts a memorable face on these various forms of human tragedy, magnifying how humans, to different degrees of success, have and can triumph, through hope, forgiveness and love. Kalinoski brings these bittersweet stories to life with an arsenal of rich, memorable characters. Stark dialogue and hearty subtext make his characters challenging and rewarding to play. His plays become self-reflexive in that they often feature a character with a secret story to tell. His work highlights the importance of telling that story in the individual’s healing process. How stories get told, when, to whom, and with what result, is a theme throughout his work. About Richard Kalinoski A self-described minimalist, Kalinoski effectively creates dramatic scenes with his characteristic use of potent symbolism. Use of projected still images and audio recordings intensify the play’s horror or humor. His plays have a Midwestern heart with international pulses: Armenian, Iraqi and African-American. His settings range from the banal - a newly built deck in rural Iowa, to the urban: an inner city diner, and from the violent: a recently exploded US Army base in Iraq, to the absurd: a rooftop recently shot through by an 89-year-old man. Brutally honest, fraught with ethical dilemma, punctuated with subtle humor, Kalinoski’s work has been translated into 17 languages to date, and has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Moliere, the Osborn, and the Ace; all of which testifies to its universality, its relevance and its heart.	2020-11-26T23:07:49Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141189030.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126230216-20201127020216-00056.warc.gz	en	0.957032	416	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-50", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:885de710-95b9-4c65-af1d-2de0f2dce3c1>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.richardkalinoski.com/about-richard-kalinoski" }
VOID is a collaborative Butoh exploration brought to you by Butoh dancer Frauke, Hirame Artorganisation and Vincent Truter. VOID explores the quality of emptiness from which the Ankoku Butoh dance is generated. Evoked through this emptiness is the contradictory nature of the Ostrich bird in its desert landscape. A Bird with dark red meat, a symbol of water that survives in arid landscapes, a bird with wings that cannot fly. Sound composed by Henrik Åström. Jewlry art by Hanna Liljenberg. Costume by Frauke and Vincent Truter. Production and photos by Karin Jonson. Butoh dancer Frauke was commissioned by the Municipality of Tjörn to create a dance work for the Pilane sculpture exhibition in Gothenburg, Sweden. Butoh dance is a Japanese art form with relatively few practitioners in Sweden. It has been a controversial expression that was born in 60th century Japan and is a mixture between dance, theater and improvisation. Dance works are frequently written exclusively for the environment where they will be performed. Frauke is a Butoh dancer and choreographer from Gothenburg. The sculpture she chose for her performance at Pilane is the popular Damski Czepek by Ursula von Rydingsvard Vard. The work resembles like an igloo made of ice but is made of plastic and has previously stood in Madison Square Park in New York where it became a popular place to get married in. The music was composed by Henrik Åström and performed live on 28-29 August, 2010. AMA–NO–GAWA explores the material and movement of the cosmos through the Butoh body. Ankoku Butoh, the controversial avant-garde Japanese dance form also known as the ‘dance of darkness’, has inspired, primarily through its originating spirit, Tatsumi Hijikata and his principal performer Yoko Ashikawa – a seemingly inexhaustible exploration into the realm of body consciousness. AMA–NO–GAWA features Swedish Butoh choreographer and performer, Frauke, one of the leading exponents of Ankoku Butoh who has developed the Butoh body in both Sweden and Japan. Frauke choreographs and collaborates with South Africa’s First Physical Theatre Company in creating a new African Butoh work. The dance explores the AMA–NO–GAWA or ‘heavenly river’ of the cosmos and the natural and energetic material phenomenon within the universe. The work was created through a deep investigation into the embodiment of the performers from which resonates an inspired constellation of movement that moves beyond conventional dance vocabularies. It is a dance of cosmic energies that aims to move audiences on an elemental and physical level. AMA-NO-GAWA features an original music score written by Henrik Åström. Photos taken at Centenary Hall, National Arts Festival, Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa, 23 June 2010 by Sian Cohen. A hybrid experimental piece that integrates dance and the choreography of space within the structure of narrative film. The film portrays immigration as a dehumanizing process executed by an indifferent bureaucratic machine. It follows a young immigrant woman, waiting her turn to see the bureaucrat in-charge of her case. The camera delves into the world of paper work and investigates, through movement and multiple points of view, alienated interpersonal relationships as they are molded by the structure of space the bureaucratic machine operates in. Space is deconstructed and reconstructed in an attempt to reach a reference point for the bureaucratic world and to connect the un-connectable – the gap between those who seek aid and those who are trying to give it. Directed by Daphna Mero Music and Sound Design by Henrik Åström Awards and prizes: Special Jury Award, SHORT to the Point, Romania. Award Winner, Best Experimental Short Film, Lanus International Film Festival, Argentina. Social Justice Award, In/Motion Dance Film Festival, Loyola University, Chicago. Endangered is a dance performance inspired by the theory of evolution — the origin of the large variation found in the biological world. The work premiered at Atalante in Gothenburg, Sweden, in May 2012. In Endangered the Butoh choreographer Frauke creates a powerful dance that touches the spectator to the bone. Endangered consists of six living scenes in the solo format. The costumes have an integral role in the choreography. They are the amazing creations of Matilda Larsson: Birds nests covering Frauke’s breasts, a ghostly tent of resurrected limbs or a red dress–all capable of concealing what is up or down. But they are never spectacular just for the sake of being so. What could easily have become six beautiful pearls on a string comes together as a mighty whole, where Henrik Åström’s music, Viktor Wendins lighting design and Åsa Thureborn’s set design bear equal weight amplifying Frauke’s choreography. The light and music also binds together the images and gives us time to reflect. The Endangered team has studied bones and archaeology, looking for something beyond the time we live in. But there is no history to understand here, just a deep experience to take in. Many visual artists are approaching dance today. Frauke is rather the other way, she lets her dance control the visual world. Maybe the two are one and the same for her. The dance consists of slow movement. Every gesture is carved out so that the human body is distanced and becomes something else–something thin and delicate, but with extremely high density. The transformation belongs to the alluring magic of Butoh.	2019-06-15T21:34:34Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997335.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20190615202724-20190615224724-00185.warc.gz	en	0.94289	1,200	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-26", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:fec6cd98-01ca-48f0-a2b9-e1d975cd4f17>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.henrikastrom.com/category/dance/" }

In 1921, a late medieval manuscript was donated to the National Library of Wales. It was a “passional”, a book recounting the sufferings of saints and martyrs, and contained two texts in medieval French: “La Passion de Nostre Seigneur” (The Passion of Our Lord), an account of the Passion of Christ, and “Le miroir de la mort” (The mirror of death), a religious poem by the Burgundian chronicler Georges Chastellain. The book had once been owned by Lady Joan Guildford (c. 1463-1538), nee Vaux, who served in the household of Elizabeth of York as governess to the Princesses Mary and Margaret Tudor, but it didn’t receive any special attention until 2012 when it was digitised to make it available on the internet. When Dr Maredudd ap Huw, the library’s manuscripts librarian, examined the first miniature in the book, he realised that it appeared to show the family of Henry VII, including the future Henry VIII, mourning the death of his Queen, Elizabeth of York (1466-1503). Young Henry, who is shown slumped over his mother’s empty bed, was 11 years old at the time of her death, making this the earliest known depiction of him and certainly the most vulnerable. Also present are his sisters Margaret and Mary, dressed in mourning black, while the sovereign in the centre of the miniature appears to be an idealised version of their father, Henry VII. The bottom of the page bears the royal arms of England. Dr ap Huw’s discovery catapulted the Vaux Passional to fame, but while the figures on the left of the miniature are now tentatively identified, the others remain shrouded in mystery. Most mysterious of all is the man at the centre who is handing a book to the King, so much so that Dr ap Huw has appealed to fellow historians and even members of the public for suggestions who he could be. Unfortunately, the response has been muted: apparently I was the only member of the public who contacted him. This post is a summary of my suggestions and replies I received from him and other experts. Presentation Miniature Or Not? At first glance, the scene appears to be a typical “presentation miniature”, a type of illustration which shows the author of a book – in this case the passional – or the person who commissioned the book presenting it to his patron – in this case, Henry VII. It was therefore initially assumed that the book had been owned by Henry before passing into Lady Guildford’s possession. As for the mystery man, since both texts contained in the book had been published before, he can’t be the author. He would therefore have to be the person who commissioned the book, but this is where it gets mysterious. He is unlikely to be Sir Richard Guildford since he has been tentatively identified by Dr ap Huw as the man in the foreground holding the white wand of the office of Comptroller of the Household. The book bears an inscription by Lady Guildford’s son, Sir Henry Guildford, but he was only 14 years old at the time of Queen Elizabeth’s death and her brother was in France where he served as Lieutenant of Guînes. Dr ap Huw had hoped that the coats of arms on other pages of the manuscript would help to identify the mystery man, but they were found to point to Lady Guildford’s maternal ancestors, except those on the page depicting Christ’s resurrection, which belong to the family of Henry VII’s mother, the Beauforts. This discovery led Dr ap Huw to reconsider his original interpretation that the book had been commissioned for Henry VII and allow for the possibility that it had actually been intended for Lady Guildford. However, in that case the scene can’t be a presentation miniature as the recipient of the book is clearly a male monarch. There are other clues supporting this conclusion. In presentation miniatures the person presenting the book is usually shown kneeling, but the mystery man is standing. The composition places him on roughly the same floor level as the king and his facial expression and body language are relaxed and confident – he looks more like an equal than a subject paying tribute to his sovereign. And the book in the picture is blue while the passional is bound in red velvet which, according to the library’s website, is the original binding. So if the book was commissioned for Lady Guildford then we should take a closer look at her and her family. Who Was Joan Guildford? The Guildfords are usually considered pillars of the Tudor regime. Lady Guildford was the daughter of William Vaux, who died fighting for Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou at Tewkesbury. Her mother Katherine Vaux, nee Peniston, served Queen Margaret as lady-in-waiting and was so loyal to her mistress that she is said to have shared her imprisonment and exile. Young Joan and her brother Nicholas were brought up in the household of Henry VII’s mother, Margaret Beaufort, and Joan went on to become her lady-in-waiting. Nicholas is thought to have fought for Henry at Bosworth as he later did at Blackheath and Stoke, for which he was knighted. Lady Guildford’s husband, Sir Richard Guildford, was the son of Sir John Guildford, who had been Comptroller of the Household to Edward IV, but lost his position when Richard III became King. Both father and son took part in Buckingham’s rebellion and when it was quashed Sir Richard joined Henry in exile in Brittany. Like his brother-in-law, he is thought to have fought for him at Bosworth. What’s less well known is that Lady Guildford’s Yorkist links went beyond her service in Elizabeth of York’s household and her father-in-law’s service to Edward IV. Despite her devotion to Margaret of Anjou, her mother had received an annuity of 20 marks from Richard III, the same amount she would later receive from Henry VIII. Her brother’s first wife was Elizabeth FitzHugh, daughter of Sir Henry FitzHugh and Alice Neville, niece of Cecily Neville, duchess of York and aunt to Anne Neville, Richard’s Queen. Both Elizabeth and her mother had served Queen Anne as ladies-in-waiting and her sister Anne FitzHugh was the wife of Francis Lovell, Richard’s friend and one of the leaders, together with Richard’s nephew John de la Pole, of the Lambert Simnel rebellion against Henry VII. Most strikingly, in 1504 Sir Richard Guildford was accused by one of Henry’s spies of supporting the Yorkist pretender Edmund de la Pole, John’s brother, whose household he had been trying to infiltrate. Meanwhile Lady Guildford’s brother, when asked about the possibility of de la Pole succeeding Henry, reportedly commented that he “should be sure to make his peace how so ever the world turn.” In 1505, Sir Richard was arrested and sent to prison, allegedly for not keeping proper accounts when Master of the Ordnance, and was only pardoned the following year. He died a few months later while on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Lady Guildford’s loyalties were divided. Indeed, after her husband’s death she re-entered Margaret Beaufort’s household and in 1514 when Princess Mary married King Louis XII she accompanied her former charge to France. However, her immediate family certainly included people who had been part of the Yorkist King Richard III’s inner circle and had known him personally. I’ll come back to this later. Who Is The Mystery Man? Unlikely as it may seem, he looks remarkably like . . . Richard III. The hair style, texture and colour as well as facial features – prominent chin, down turned corners of the mouth and furrowed brow – are similar to Richard’s portraits from the Tudor period. These were created based on an established pattern and while book illustrations aren’t usually faithful portraits the miniature broadly follows it: allowing for the cartoonish style, the 3/4 perspective, facial features and even the frown line between his eye brows line up remarkably well. The position of his hands – holding a book rather than fiddling with his ring – and his facial expression – smiling instead of looking stern or sinister – are different, but he certainly looks more like Richard III than the idealised sovereign looks like Henry VII. Finally, the coat of arms on this page of the manuscript was used by both Henry and Richard: the royal arms of England. So could this be Richard? According to the Richard III Society, there’s no precedent for depictions of a dead king handing a present to his living political enemy. This may be true of presentation miniatures, but a very similar scene is described in the epitaph of the alabaster tomb that Henry placed on Richard’s grave in 1494, almost 10 years after Bosworth. The exact wording of the epitaph as it appeared on the tomb is unclear as several different versions of it exist and all of them appear to have transcription errors. The Guildhall version, which has survived in Sir George Buck’s 17th century biography “THE HISTORY OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD”, reads: ”I, here, whom the earth encloses under various coloured marble, Was justly called Richard the Third. I was Protector of my country, an uncle ruling on behalf of his nephew. I held the British kingdoms in trust, although they were disunited. Then for just sixty days less two, And Two summers, I held my sceptres. Fighting bravely in war, deserted by the English, I succumbed to you, King Henry VII. But you yourself, piously, at your expense, thus honoured my bones And caused a former king to be revered with the honour of a king When in twice five years less four Three hundred five-year periods of our salvation had passed. And eleven days before the Kalends of September I surrendered to the red rose the power it desired. Whoever you are, pray for my offences, That my punishment may be lessened by your prayers.” 1 The Wriothesley-Hawling-Sandford version of the epitaph is more critical of Richard2 but describes the transfer of royal power from him to Henry in equally amicable terms. Is this why the book in the miniature doesn’t look like the passional – because it isn’t a physical book, but Richard’s present to Henry? The Red Rose Of Beaufort? The surrender of power to the “red rose” who had “desired” it, as described in the epitaph, deserves closer scrutiny. Firstly, it’s an admission that Richard “surrendered” his power not of his own volition, but because someone else desired it – or, according to the Wriothesley-Hawling-Sandford version, was owed it as a right. But who is this red rose? Both John Ashdown-Hill and Thomas Penn have pointed out that, while the Plantagenets had been using rose emblems as far back as Eleanor of Provence, wife of Henry III, these tended to be gold or indiscriminate in colour and were often subordinate to other heraldic badges, such as Henry VI’s antelope. Until 1485 the only royal rose emblem was the white rose of York as used by Edward IV and Richard III. When Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, he introduced the red-and-white Tudor rose, supposedly a fusion of his red rose of Lancaster, which however hadn’t really existed before, and her white rose of York. Henry’s instructions for the pageants with which the city of York was to receive him on his first progress of northern England in April 1486 included “a world desolate full of trees and flowers” and in it “a royal, rich, red rose conveyed by a vice, unto which rose shall appear another rich white rose, unto whom all the flowers shall lout and evidently give sovereignty, showing the rose to be principal of all flowers, and there upon shall come from a cloud a crown covering the roses.”3 In a scene not dissimilar to the one described in the epitaph, the pageant was then to show King Ebrauk, the mythical founder of York, salute Henry and “present unto the King the keys of the citie being thenheritaunce of the said Ebrauk yielding his title and crowne unto the King as moost glad of hym above all other.”4 Henry therefore created the Tudor rose almost immediately upon his accession to the throne, so it’s interesting that the passional, which dates from at least 17 years later, doesn’t contain a single one of these symbols of unity between the houses of Lancaster and York. There are plenty of other roses – most of them red, but also a blue rose and, in the decorative border, some white ones (alongside more red roses, violets, pansies and thistles) – but no red-and-white Tudor rose. Both Ashdown-Hill and A J Pollard have noted that Henry’s mother, Margaret Beaufort, used a red rose and suggested that the mythical red rose of Lancaster might therefore actually be a Beaufort emblem. The fact that the illustrations in the passional show not only red roses, but also portcullises, an emblem employed by the Beauforts including Lady Margaret, as well as the Beaufort arms would seem to support this theory. The page depicting the resurrection of Christ alongside the Beaufort arms also shows a red dragon, a symbol which is strongly associated with Henry VII, who landed in Wales in 1485 flying a red dragon banner and claiming to fulfil the prophesy of Cadwallader, the mythical redeemer of Britain. The combination of the resurrection with the red dragon and the Beaufort arms seems to underline the epitaph’s message about the transfer of power from one dynasty to the other. Nevertheless, given Lady Guildford’s relationship to Margaret Beaufort, the proliferation of Beaufort emblems together with coats of arms associated with her own maternal ancestors again suggests that the passional was commissioned for her, rather than Henry – or his mother. What Does It Mean? If the mystery man is Richard III it would be one of the oldest surviving pictures of him aside from pen-and-ink sketches (the oldest portraits in the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Collection date from around 1504-1520) and the only one showing him smiling. Given that the “crookback” soubriquet had been around since at least the 1490s and by the time the Royal Collection portrait was created paintings were being actively “corrected” to fit this new image, it would also be unusual in that it shows him without deformities. As we saw above, Lady Guildford had access to people who had seen Richard and would have known that his scoliosis was not visible under normal circumstances, such as her in-laws who had been ladies-in-waiting to Anne Neville, his Queen. Likewise Margaret Beaufort, in whose household Lady Guildford grew up and whom she served later in life, had played a prominent part at Richard’s and Anne’s coronation. And what about Elizabeth of York, Richard’s niece, in whose household Lady Guildford served as governess? It is highly unlikely that he wanted to marry her – he publicly denied the rumour and was in the process of negotiating a foreign marriage when he died – but she had spent time at his court and they seem to have been on friendly terms. One source for this is Elizabeth’s letter to John Howard, duke of Norfolk, in which she declared that her uncle “was her onely joy and maker in . . . Worlde, and that she was his . . . harte, in thoughts, in . . . and in all.” The original letter doesn’t survive, so we can’t be sure how accurately its content was summarised and the summary itself is damaged, but the tone is clear. Richard also appears to have given her two books as gifts. The first, Boethius’ “DE CONSOLATIONE PHILOSOPHIAE”, bears his motto “Loyalte me lye” and underneath it her signature. The other, “ROMAN DE TRISTAN”, is inscribed “Iste Liber constat Ricardo Duci Gloucestre” and on the same page in her handwriting “sans remevyr Elyzabeth”. Of course, one English king is missing from the scene: where is Elizabeth’s brother, Edward V? The destruction of Titulus Regius by Henry VII in 1485 had reinstated all of Edward IV’s children to the rank of legitimate royal offspring, including him. Indeed, the harsher version of the epitaph accuses Richard of ruling on his behalf by broken faith – contradicting not only the epitaph’s assertion about the right owed to the “red rose”, but also Henry’s claim dating back to 1484 that he, Henricus Rex, was the rightful heir to the crown by “lineal inheritance”5, which bypassed the entire house of York. If the mystery man is Richard, the uncle who allegedly stole the crown from Edward and ordered his death, why is he depicted in such a benign way in a book belonging to a servant of his sister? After James Tyrell’s supposed murder confession, allegedly made in 1502, but mentioned for the first time in 1513, when both Elizabeth and Henry were dead? As so often, it seems that answering one question only leads to new ones!

Papers appeal order to turn over arson photos WEST VIRGINIA–Two Charleston newspapers petitioned the West Virginia Supreme Court in mid-November to prevent a Circuit Court judge from enforcing a subpoena ordering the papers to turn over photographs to a defendant on trial for murder. The Charleston Daily Mail and The Charleston Gazette filed the joint petition November 12, asserting a qualified reporter’s privilege against compelled disclosure under the First Amendment. The newspapers also claimed they were protected by a reporter’s privilege under the West Virginia Constitution. West Virginia does not have a shield law. In early November, the newspapers were ordered by Circuit Court Judge Lyne Ranson in Charleston to turn over photographs of a home destroyed in a suspected arson fire, which were published in both papers in October 1995. The defendant, Frank West, is charged with first-degree murder and arson in connection with the blaze, which killed one man. West’s trial is scheduled to start in early December. West subpoenaed both the Daily Mail and Gazette, requesting “copies of any and all photos of the arson homicide at the dwelling in question.” Both papers filed motions to quash the subpoenas based on the qualified reporter’s privilege. Additionally, both papers submitted the photographs to Ranson for in camera review and requested that they be sealed. The court denied both newspapers’ motions to quash the subpoenas and ordered them to comply. In their petition to the West Virginia Supreme Court, the newspapers argued that the court should compel the Circuit Court to show why the qualified reporter’s privilege does not preclude compelled disclosure of the photographs, and any testimony relating to information gained from the newsgathering activities in connection with the arson-murder stories published in both papers.

330-476-6343 \| firstname.lastname@example.org Gnadenhutten man accepts plea deal in dog, cat abuse case Like and Share this story on Facebook Eddy Lee Starnes, III of Gnadenhutten was sentenced to three years of community control sanctions and ordered to complete a four-to-six-month program at the Eastern Ohio Corrections Center (EOCC) after pleading guilty to nine felony counts involving the care of companion animals (dogs and cats). Starnes, 27 was found guilty of nine counts of Prohibitions Concerning Companion Animals (all fifth-degree felonies) March 1 after he withdrew not guilty pleas and entered guilty pleas as part of a plea bargain. Nine counts of Prohibitions Concerning Companion Animals, all first-degree misdemeanors, were dismissed as part of the plea bargain. Starnes was indicted in September 2021, after Carroll County Humane Society investigators found several dogs and cats inside a Sherrodsville area residence July 20 that were alleged to have had no food or water for several weeks and were in various stages of bad health, including two dead dogs and a kitten that later died. He was charged under Goddard’s Law. Starnes relinquished ownership rights of all animals seized to the Humane Society. During a March 23 sentencing hearing, Common Pleas Judge Michael V. Repella, II asked Starnes if he had anything to say to which he replied he had nothing further to say except that which he already said. Along with the community control sanctions, Starnes was sentenced to six days in the county jail and given credit for the six days served. He was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine within three years and pay restitution of $68.12, also within 36 months. The judge issued an order that Starnes shall not be in possession of any companion animals for the rest of his natural life. He was ordered to report to EOCC March 31 to begin the program.

One of my concerns for those who read my posts is that they won’t grasp the real reasons why I desire to share my views. It would be easy, from a superficial reading, to think I’m just a conservative who doesn’t like Obama specifically and Democrats/liberals in general. I do oppose Obama and his policies, and I’m also opposed to the Democrat agenda. But there are foundational principles that guide my opposition. I believe in objective truth, and that it exists through the God of the Bible. I want to stand strong for truth. Obama’s policies are merely the open manifestation of deeper problems plaguing our culture. They rest, as does the whole worldview that motivates him and his political allies, on a number of falsities that need to be exposed. Let me deal briefly with each one. - False Theology: This takes many forms, but each form denies the real character of God as revealed in Scripture. It may, for instance, say the Scriptures cannot be trusted; that a different God is portrayed in the New Testament than in the Old; that his primary concern is social justice through government programs; that Jesus was His son in purely a human way, and all we do is follow Jesus’ example to “liberate” people from poverty; that since God is a God of love, there is no hell to which those who reject His love will be consigned. - False Psychology: Rather than understanding man as a unique creation made in the image of God, we instead view him as a social animal who needs to be studied to figure out why he does what he does. We replace the reality of sin with other explanations—excuses primarily—for his evil actions. Perhaps he’s just a product of his environment, or maybe there are deep-seated, hidden reasons for his actions that can only be brought to the surface through lifelong psychoanalysis. Maybe society is to blame, not the individual. Could it be that we simply need to remove the impediments in our lives so we can attain self-actualization? Bottom line for all these theories: man is not accountable for his actions; someone or something else is to blame. - False Anthropology: Ancient civilizations were crude and rudimentary, but now we have evolved into complexity. We know more than our ancestors; we are the enlightened ones. Yet we honor all cultures, believing that it would be wrong to try to change them because all cultures are equally valid. Never mind that some practice cannibalism; look past cultures that burn widows on their husbands’ funeral pyres, and hundreds of other sadistic and horrible actions. No, we cannot judge. Who are we to say that we know best? And by all means, don’t preach a gospel that says the culture must change. That is insensitive. - False Soteriology: We are “saved” by education. We are “saved” by the government. If we believe at all in an afterlife, we believe we can get on God’s good side through our own actions; as long as we have more positive deeds than negative, it will all work out in the end. He couldn’t possibly exclude “good” people. After all, we fed the poor, we gave money to help those in need, and we collected every ribbon for every cause that crossed our path. We were good Pharisees. - False Eschatology: The world is going to come to an end because we are polluting Mother Earth. Unless we stop using aerosol sprays, we will all burn up. We’re going to exhaust all our resources because we selfishly want cars and heat during the winter. Overpopulation will doom us as a race; we must limit the number of children or we all will die as we run out of food and space. Evil corporations are raping the planet; they must be shut down. Unless government comes to our rescue, all is lost. Sovereign nations must be replaced by a government that will unite all peoples and create an earthly paradise. We are the world. There are undoubtedly more, but those stand out to me. I see these false ideologies as the cornerstones of the modern “progressive” state and culture. My task, and the task of all Christians, is to speak out against these while simultaneously promoting the truths that counter each one. This is what the Lord has placed on my heart. This is why I write.	2021-01-25T20:06:48Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703644033.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125185643-20210125215643-00486.warc.gz	en	0.968143	928	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-04", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:d205cd60-cf26-4e8b-9240-6343ffba1211>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://ponderingprinciples.com/2015/09/03/this-is-why-i-write-2/" }
BustedHalo: Dawn, you and I have known each other for a long time. I knew you mainly as a rock and roll journalist, who did liner notes for lots of cd reissues and wrote for a bunch of magazines… Dawn Eden: (laughs) See, I love this because you having known me for a while can attest to the fact that I’m not just a poser. You know there are plenty of Christian writers who say, “Oh yeah, I was hip once, I was in the rock world once.” BH: I can vouch for the fact that you were once in the rock world. In fact you and I once worked together when you wrote press releases for my old band and on my solo cds. So this is a big turn for you. Talk to me a little bit about how your book came about, Thrill of the Chaste. And what got you away from rock journalism and into writing a book on chastity. DE: Well the book came about because of my own transformation. I grew up Reform Jewish and by the time I hit my 20’s, I was an agnostic rock journalist and I had a spiritual longing but because I didn’t have faith, I was looking to fill this spiritual longing. Like it’s one thing to love music, it’s another thing to say well, I don’t believe, so I’m going get my religious experiences from concerts. That’s how I was from concerts, from my favorite records, that’s how I tried to achieve transcendence. But that didn’t give my life meaning but I thought love would. And so I tried to find the love of my life. I didn’t find the love of my life, and so I thought based on just all the morals of the world that I was in, everything that the mainstream media and music magazines is that, well, if I didn’t find the love of my life, then I had every right to just get pleasure from sex, so I had a premarital sex in relationships, out of relationships, and what happened when I was 31, was I had this religious experience that convinced me of the truth of Christianity. I eventually became a Catholic. I entered the church last year, but this time when I was 31, back in 99. I just knew that God was real, that Jesus was the Messiah, that the Bible was true, and that I had to change my life accordingly. So, I had to take a moral inventory, and what I realized was that not only was my lifestyle not in keeping with the lifestyle God wanted for me, but that all the sex that I had ever had in my life, even within committed loving relationships, far from bringing me closer to the marriage that I wanted had actually made me less capable to sustain a life-time marriage. BH: Now you talk about having this religious experience when you were 31, can you to talk a bit more about what that was. DE: It was the result of my mind having been opened in stages to the truth of Christianity. And one thing that was a major door opener for me was when I was 27, back in December ’95, and I was doing a phone interview with a man named Ben Eshbach, who was the lead singer for a Los Angeles band named “The Sugarplastic” not a religious rock band. And I thought I would ask him something unrelated to his music, so I asked, what was he reading lately, and he said, “The Man Who Was Thursday” by G.K. Chesterton, and I had never heard the name before and thought it was one of those quant English names like P.G. Wodehouse, or something, so I went to the bookstore and picked it up thinking was going to be reading about Jeeves and Wooster or something. And then, to my surprise, I realized that this novel had a Christian message, but more than that, it presented the faith in a way I had never seen it before. Because I had assumed that Christians were just this white bread, Moral Majority, faceless, conformist, mass, they all ruled the world, and that for me to be this rock and roll hipster rebel, I had to be different from them. And what Chesterton put forth, is that there is false rebellion and true rebellion, and the false rebellion is essentially to be a rebel without a cause. The rebelling for the sake of rebelling. True rebelling was the rebelling against the evil that has its grip on the world, so that the Christian is the true rebel. Chesterton also said this in Orthodoxy, when he said words to the effect that Christianity is the only religion where God, in order to be a King, must also be a rebel. And so reading that just opened up my mind, and at first I just thought, well Chesterton must have been the only salty Christian. BH: Was Chesterton a convert? DE: Yes. He was a convert from Anglicanism. Although he grew up pretty much without faith. He spent some time as an atheist I think. And so I just kept reading all the Chesterton that I could get my hands on. BH: I remember that back around that time that you lent me The Man Who was Thursday and I lent you one of my favorite books The Moviegoer by Walker Percy but you didn’t like it. DE: Yes, but it’s one of my favorite song of yours ever [a song I wrote called “The Moviegoer,” which has nothing to do with the book]. And it’s the one that you most underrate. BH: You always remind me of that song. What do you like about it? DE: I just loved the opening lyrics, “I found the floor, it’s nice to know, there’s only so low that I can go.” BH: Yeah, that’s sort of a depressing line. You talk about how you’ve dealt with depression in your life. You say a lot of people out there who have depression might need more than just coming to their faith to deal with depression. DE: At the movement that I received faith back in October ’99, I was healed completely of the cyclical suicidal depression that I suffered from. My diagnosis has changed since then, from major depression to—in the wonderful pragmatic parlance of psychology—to major depression in remission. But since then I have gone through stressful times, times that I’ve gone through crying jags, it hasn’t all been happy and joyful. But I have to say, being in the church has been enormously helpful. For one thing, if you’re in an area where you can find a priest that isn’t too overburdened, you can get spiritual direction, which is more than just confession. And that is free therapy, and it’s wonderful. It’s not a replacement for a professional if you have some serious problems, but if you have an existential problem the kind of help that’s available in the church can really help. But more than that a great help for depression is to just stop doing the behavior that helps to depresses you. And I realized that this kind of self medication that I had, where I thought I can go out and meet a guy, and if the prospects look good, then I can be open to sleeping with him and maybe we’ll fall in love. That was something where I thought that would bring happiness. And it didn’t. BH: So your mom converted, but you were raised a secular Jew. Both your parents were Jewish, right? DE: That’s right, both my parents divorced when I was a kid. My mother had converted to Catholicism when I was a teenager, but she had converted initially to charismatic Catholicism which is related to Pentecostalism in the sense it incorporates spiritual gifts that are not normally included in Catholic worship, like speaking in tongues. I could not get into it at all. And then by the time I became interested in Christianity my mother had lapsed into Messianic Judaism, which is a form of Protestantism, it’s like the Jews for Jesus. Although she didn’t call herself Jews for Jesus. But she had stopped going to Mass, and she had started with the Messianic Jewish church. And so, rather than exploring the Catholic Church, I read Chesterton for a few years, and started reading the Bible more. And it was after that that I started to have this experience which was the actual faith experience, I don’t like to talk about it that much because its unique, and the thing is that God comes to each of us in different ways, so sort of the way that I was touched isn’t the same way other people might be. The shortest way to describe it is that I heard a voice in the night, which was a woman’s voice, which really surprised me because even as an agnostic I thought that God was a man. And the voice said, “Some things are not meant to be known, some things are meant to be understood.” And when I woke up I was very freaked out by that. And I was trying to figure out what it meant, and something told me that it was in the Bible. And I was wondering where it would be in the Bible. And then in my mind I was directed to read Romans 5:1. So I read it, and it said, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have Peace with our lord Jesus Christ.” And for me, being justified by faith, I connected that faith with understanding, with some things that are meant to be understood. And so, the message that some things are not meant to be known, I took as meaning that I was trying to get to know God through external knowledge, where I was thinking that if I have enough prove that God exists, then I would believe. But the message was that some things are meant to be understood, that I had to have the understanding that comes with faith, and then the knowledge would be added to me. So I got down on my knees that night and I said the Sinner’s Prayer which is the prayer saying to Jesus that I’m a sinner, please come into my heart, and after that, I was transformed. BH: I remember talking about this with you about eight years ago and you were going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church for a while. BustedHalo is for spiritual seekers in a lot of ways it sounds like you and your mom, are charter member of that club. You both seem to have taken the journey very seriously. DE: Yeah, I did, I wasn’t an actual Adventist, but the Adventist church was a community church, and it was the first church which I found. I saw a flier that they left at a bank, and I just went there and said, “How can I get Baptized?” When I found out that they were Adventist I said “I don’t want an Adventist Baptism, can you just give me a generic Christian baptism. You know, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.” And that’s what they did. But I didn’t stay with them because I realized that I wanted something more orthodox, but I was very influenced by my mother at that time, who had a laundry list of reasons why she left the Catholic Church. So I thought I wanted something orthodox, but anything but Catholicism. BH: In the book you talk a lot about "Sex and the City" and how you think its been a defining moment, culturally as far as women’s idea’s of sexuality. Can you talk a little about that and how a lot of your book is certainly taking to task some of the ideas that you believe “Sex and the City” propagated. DE: Sure, well as you say “Sex and the City” is a defining movement. The interesting thing is that it really simply recycled ideas that were 25 years old, or older. The Germaine Greer and Helen Gurly Brown idea that true liberation is being able to “have sex like a man.” I’ve come to believe more and more, since I wrote the book and have been speaking to men about chastity, that it’s not possible for even a man to have sex like a man. BH: What does it mean “To have sex like a man?” DE: It’s the idea that you can just go in and out, in and out, and nobody has a face, nobody has a soul, and that you can just cut yourself off emotionally, so that like Benjamin Braddock says in The Graduate when he’s confronted by Mr. Robinson, and he says, “What I did with your wife. Wasn’t even like sex, it was like shaking hands.” You know, that’s the “Sex and the City” ideal of just having sex like you’re shaking hands. BH: So you think women have been sold a bill of goods? DE: Oh, completely, and it’s ironic because the same people who are saying that we should be able to have sex like a man, are people who rally against objectifying women, whereas if you try to have to have sex with someone without having emotional attachment with them, you are objectifying yourself, and the other person by treating both parties like a commodity.	2017-07-20T16:28:57Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423269.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20170720161644-20170720181644-00189.warc.gz	en	0.987853	2,886	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-30", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:0ff40df1-c1c0-4b7e-808f-757a6131c9a4>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://bustedhalo.com/features/busted-dawn-eden" }
Tubs and Showers in a Stack Log Home: The design of your bathroom in a stack log home has some special considerations. In your typical five feet by eight feet bathroom, the tub/shower fixture usually goes against the outside wall. There are other ways of arranging the layout, but this is the one that will have the most impact on the logs themselves. In a stick frame home this is not a big issue. Waterproof the wall with the proper materials. If there is a window in the wall, make sure it is tight and caulked. Maintaining the integrity of the seal will prevent water from getting into the wood behind the finish, which is your main concern. A stack log wall is solid, the individual logs are round and the wall settles. Where your frame walls meet the log walls there will be slots to tuck the drywall into for a nice clean line. These factors do make keeping the water out a challenge. One of the best ways of eliminating the possibility of water problems is to reorganize the layout and move the tub/shower away from the log wall. This will allow you to show off the logs and it will reduce your maintenance. If you cannot move the tub then you must prevent the water from getting at the logs. The minimum would be a top quality sealer for log homes and maintain the finish on a regular basis. Another simple preventative measure would be to have a shower curtain that fully encloses the tub, as this would keep all the water away from the log walls. A claw foot tub would be an excellent choice for this option. A better and more long term solution would be to frame a wall in front of the log wall. This will allow you to waterproof it and protect the log wall. The top of the furred out wall does not need to go to the ceiling, but you will want to be mindful of the settling of the logs if you do. If you have a window in the log wall, special consideration will have to be made to account for the movement of that window due to settling.	2017-02-24T12:34:38Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171608.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00485-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.95114	423	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-09", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:5f575a25-23ba-44b5-b38e-85a2f16965b4>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.thelogconnection.com/newsletter_one.html?2011_09" }
Analysis and discussion by Robert A. Bertsche In a stark about-face, the highest court of Massachusetts today took a step toward reducing access to criminal court records. It reversed its own ruling from 20 years ago—and picked a fight with the federal First Circuit Court of Appeals that could someday be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The unanimous 46-page decision from the Supreme Judicial Court is a victory for individual privacy rights at the expense of public access to the court system. It was a bow to our age of “rapid informational access through the Internet and other new technologies.” The Court made it substantially more likely that a certain category of criminal court records—those that have been dismissed or have been the subject of a “nolle prosequi,” or decision not to prosecute—will simply vanish from public view. Less than 20 years ago, the same Court had ruled that the First Amendment required a strong presumption favoring public access to the records of such cases. But the Court said today that its 1995 decision “no longer achieves the proper balance of interests,” and it lay down a new standard that makes it far easier for secrecy to prevail. * * * Imagine this not-entirely-hypothetical scenario: It is 2017, and the mayor of Smalltown, Mass., is considering his nephew, John Johnson, to be head of the town’s Department of Public Works. You hear a rumor that, some years ago, Johnson was picked up by police. You ask Johnson about it, and he insists he has no criminal record. You go to Smalltown District Court, but you find no criminal records about him. Nonetheless, and unknown to you, the rumors are true. In 2014, before he ever got involved in town affairs, Johnson was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (OUI) and leaving the scene of an accident. He admitted to facts sufficient for a finding of guilty, and in 2015, a Smalltown Municipal Court judge continued the charges without a finding for one year, suspending Johnson’s driver’s license for 45 days and sending him to rehab. A year later, the judge dismissed the case on the recommendation of the probation officer—who just happened to be the niece of Smalltown’s state representative. Why couldn’t you find any court records? Because as of today, under Massachusetts law as re-interpreted by the Supreme Judicial Court in Commonwealth v. Pon, Johnson only had to meet a deferential standard of “good cause” before getting his entire criminal case file sealed. The decision makes it clear that facts like those described above would warrant a judge to find that the “good cause” bar had been met. * * * Here’s what you should know about today’s decision: - The Standard For Sealing Is Far Easier to Meet Than It Was Before. By statute (G.L. c. 276, § 100C), a judge may seal the criminal record of a former criminal defendant whose case resulted in entry of a nolle prosequi or a dismissal, if the judge determines that “substantial justice would best be served” by sealing. The question in 1995, and again in 2014, was what those words really mean. In 1995, in Commonwealth v. Doe, the SJC said that sealing the record is permitted only if the defendant proves “that the value of sealing … clearly outweighs the constitutionally-based value of the record remaining open to society.” It said that sealing “should occur only in exceptional cases,” and that an individual’s general reputational or privacy concerns aren’t enough. “A defendant must show that specific harm is threatened by the continued existence of the record.” The Court in 2014 is singing a different tune. Now, the requirement of “substantial justice” is met merely by a showing of “good cause” for the secrecy. That’s the same standard that governs when a court is asked to impound a particular document in the court record—but here it is being applied in a far more extreme setting, one in which the entire case is being made to disappear from public view. - The Court Makes It Sound Easy to Establish “Good Cause.” The decision says “good cause” for secrecy is determined by a balancing test. But while it says it is striving to provide “clearer guidance” than under the prior standard, the scales it establishes seem already weighted in favor of sealing. In one pan, the Court heaps amorphous ideals: the “general principle of publicity,” and the public’s “general right to know so that it may hold the government accountable.” Quoting its 1995 decision in Doe, the court does concede that “‘[e]ven [where] a case has not been prosecuted, information within a criminal record may remain useful’ to the public.” The other pan overflows even before the weighing has begun. The SJC says there are “compelling” and “fully articulated” “governmental interests in reducing recidivism, facilitating reintegration, and ensuring self-sufficiency by promoting employment and housing opportunities for former criminal defendants.” Judges don’t even have to make case-specific findings on that point; they “may take judicial notice that the existence of a criminal record, regardless of what it contains, can present barriers to housing and employment opportunities.” Those barriers are “heightened by the immediate and effectively permanent availability of criminal history on the Internet.” As to the specific factors to be considered, the following is the non-exclusive list laid down by the Court: –“the particular disadvantages identified by the defendant arising from the availability of the criminal record”; –“evidence of rehabilitation suggesting that the defendant could overcome these disadvantages if the record were sealed”; –“any other evidence that sealing would alleviate the identified disadvantages”; –“relevant circumstances of the defendant at the time of the offense that suggest a likelihood of recidivism or of success”; –“the passage of time since the offense and since the dismissal or nolle prosequi“; and –“the nature of and reasons for the particular disposition.” - The First Circuit Court of Appeals No Longer Matters. The Supreme Judicial Court had reached its anti-sealing ruling in 1995 by adopting the reasoning of a 1989 ruling from the federal First Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2014, the SJC is defiantly going it alone, noting that state courts “‘are not bound by decisions of Federal courts except the decisions of the United States Supreme Court on questions of Federal law.’” In a footnote, the Court turns the principle of stare decisis on its head. It notes that the relevant federal precedents are more than two decades old, from which it concludes that because “our society has changed drastically since either we or the Federal courts have given great thought to the consequences of sealing,” Therefore, “[c]learly, the issue is ripe for revisiting….” - The First Amendment No Longer Matters. In 1995, following the lead of the First Circuit , the SJC repeatedly spoke of the First Amendment-based “constitutional right of access to judicial records.” By 2014, the First Amendment is on the sidelines: “We conclude that the records of closed criminal cases resulting in these particular dispositions are not subject to a First Amendment presumption of access.” The Court acknowledges that its conclusion is “at odds with that of the First Circuit” and other federal appellate courts, but finds solace in the fact that “at least one” other state supreme court (Florida) has reached the same result. Take that, First Circuit. - In Fact, the Real World Doesn’t Matter Much, Either. The Court briefly acknowledges that commercial background check services may disclose the criminal arrests that are meant to be hidden by a court-ordered sealing of records. While noting that such services are “immune in practice (but not in law) from sealing,” it says that to factor in the futility of court-ordered sealing would lead to the apparently unacceptable result of barring sealing altogether: “Were we to accept this argument, sealing would never be justified.” There is a second problem with the commercial background check services: that they can be inaccurate, a fact that the Court acknowledges. The Court fails to note, however, that if actual court records are put under lock and key, then the public and media will be more likely to turn to those commercial services. In other words, unreliable information will take the place of reliable information. - The Court Might Apply a Different Analysis if the Arrestee is a Public Figure. One can take some comfort from the fact that the Court notes, in an aside, that if the former criminal defendant is a public figure, then “a different analysis may be necessary.” Certainly it seems less justifiable to seal a sitting politician’s past brushes with the law, than to seal the same material when it relates to a private individual. The problem is that today’s private individual may be tomorrow’s public figure. In the hypothetical above, John Johnson obtains sealing as a private figure; only later does he go into public life, and by then his prior arrest record is safely hidden away. - This Decision May Be Just the Beginning. The Court says it will not address the public-figure issue because “those facts are not before us.” It is not as reticent when it comes to discussing whether the eased sealing standard it sets out should also apply to the records of criminal court proceedings that end in an acquittal instead of a dismissal or nolle prosequi. In a page-long footnote, the Court suggests that even if one cannot enforce the purported statutory requirement of mandatory sealing of court records of cases that result in acquittals, nonetheless discretionary sealing can occur, and should be subject to the same “good cause” standard. * * * It should not, perhaps, be altogether surprising that the SJC has established a new, more deferential standard for sealing of certain cases. The Court is primarily concerned with effectuating what it sees as the legislative goal of CORI reforms: to foster rehabilitation and integration into the community of former arrestees, and to reduce the housing and employment blacklisting of those who have been through the judicial system and come out of it without a criminal conviction. The Court is also concerned that the legislative goal is made more difficult by the impossibility of erasing facts from the Internet. What is surprising, and disturbing, about the Pons decision is how little discussion there is of the public right to know, or the media’s role in monitoring the integrity of the judicial system. Take the hypothetical of John Johnson, above. In that situation, there is a public interest in knowing why the charges against John Johnson led only to a continuance without a finding, followed by a dismissal after a politically connected probation officer testified. If You Don’t Like This Decision: Who’s to Blame? CALL TO ACTION: Perhaps those of us who represent the media and who advocate for public access to the courts have ourselves to blame. The Supreme Judicial Court routinely calls out for amici curiae to submit briefs to help the Court consider points of view that will not be adequately represented by the parties. In this case, such briefs came only from parties who supported a more deferential sealing standard. Is it time for a coalition of public access advocates and media entities to step up to the plate to be sure that the arguments in favor of public access are adequately represented to the Court?

Due to the fact that consuming organic foods is gaining recognition, selecting to live a holistic lifestyle is also turning into more common. Home developed vegetables, fruits and herbs are in much demand for their far more pristine health advantages. This post offers numerous helpful ideas on organic gardening that can help. Do not improperly lay your new sod. Before the sod can be laid, you should prepare the soil. Take away any weeds, and break the soil up into a fine tilth. Compact the soil carefully but firmly to be specified that it is indeed flat. Make confident you operate with a moist soil. Staggered rows with offset joints is the very best way for the sod to be laid out. You want the sod to end up as a flat and even surface area. If there are any gaps in in between the sod pieces, then you can fill these in with some soil. Your sod should be watered each day for at least two months, then it will root itself and stroll on it. Shoveling clay is really challenging and tons of operate due to the fact the clay is hard and sticks to the shovel, making it challenging to manage. To make functioning in clay less difficult, rub the shovel with ground or automobile wax and then buff it with a cloth. This leads to the clay to slide fairly than stick, and stops rust as a facet result. Keep your crops thriving via the winter season by bringing them within. You may possibly be able to preserve your most resistant or pricey vegetation. Use caution when digging around the roots of your plant. You want to preserve the root composition intact for it to prosper after being potted. The a lot more information you have on the subject matter of organic and natural gardening, the more proficient you will turn out to be. Even though these tips largely go over only the basics, they give you a place to commence your organic and natural gardening venture. Gardening can be quite complicated, when you look at it far more closely. If you prepare on performing it normally, you possibly need to know particular factors, such as all-natural bug-battling concoctions and the soil’s pH stability. It can be challenging for a rookie to develop natural and organic. The write-up can help you in growing natural produce like a professional. Set down sod appropriately. You want to prepare the soil ahead of you lay down the sod. Thoroughly weed the soil, and work it into a wonderful, smooth tilth. Frivolously, but firmly pack the soil down, and make confident that it is flat. Be sure the soil is extensively moist. Be sure to stagger the rows of sod. The joints must be offset like bricks in a wall. Minimize away additional sod and conserve it to fill in gaps you may possibly develop later. Your sod should be watered each day for at minimum two weeks, then it will root itself and wander on it. A great way to make sure that your seeds sprout properly is to commence them in scaled-down pots and then transplant them as soon as they get to the seedling stage. Your plants will be a lot more likely to experienced this way. In addition, you can shorten the intervals among your plantings. Once the fully matured vegetation are removed, the seedlings can be planted. Plant vines like ivy to protect fences and dividing partitions. Climbing crops are incredibly versatile, helping to conceal an hideous fence or wall, often inside one increasing time. They can go over an arbor, or expand by means of trees and shrubs. There are those that have to be fastened to a assist, but others will discover a surface area to cling to all on their own by way of twining stems or tendrils. Reputable varieties incorporate clematis, honeysuckle, wisteria, jasmine and climbing roses. Now, you should not get your hopes up and feel that a handful of suggestions are going to flip you into an instantaneous specialist gardener.

Hi my name is Chris and I live in Germany, but I my parents are from Mazandaran Iran. the People are very hospitable and i love the centuries-old culture. I just wan to share my love to this nation. Not only for the countries of Israel and Iran. This is important for all countries. Ultimately, a war would also affect all other countries. Not to mention the senseless killing of civilians, the pain and suffering which war always brings with it. If we all make it through this campaign to attract at least as far as attention to the politicians, held perhaps a rethink, we have won all over the world with it. This is what I wish for all of us. It is important to understand that a government that they do not simply stubborn penetrated what she plans, but listens to his people. This applies to every government.	2019-09-22T16:57:51Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514575596.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190922160018-20190922182018-00106.warc.gz	en	0.982985	175	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-39", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:0f7a866f-a552-4f0b-a8a5-0bc2a8b214c1>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://shahvani.me/ironi/global-support/christian-from-germany/" }

The Huffington Post has a reputation for leaning to the left, but they apparently provide some sort of affirmative action slots for tea party types. One of them, Eli Lehrer, has a priceless piece today, suggesting that budget hawks should go after: A truly useless government agency with over a half million employees and $66 billion in annual spending. Yes, you guessed it- Eli wants to balance the budget by eliminating the US Postal Service. Like so many of his true believer comrades, Eli believes that his personal tastes and beliefs should govern public policy. Eli doesn’t particularly care for the USPS, so we should just get rid of it. Readers have no doubt already spotted a slight flaw in Eli’s plan- the fact that the USPS doesn’t actually take any money from the taxpayers. Eli does seem to have some faint understanding of postal finances- after the usual trashing of the post office, he writes “Now, before any budget balancers get too excited, it’s worth noting that, since 1970, the Postal Service hasn’t directly tapped Treasury directly in a significant way.” Hmmm… But never mind that! Eli still thinks we should can the USPS and eliminate a couple hundred thousand jobs because of, well, pensions, apparently. Given that its debt for pensions and other costs seems almost certain to become a public obligation, no matter what happens, stopping the bleeding now is a good idea. So let’s just cut to the chase, and immediately start paying for all those pensions from tax revenue instead of postal revenue! Eli has a very original theory of budget balancing! He also doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that the USPS takes in all that revenue on a totally voluntary basis- no one has to mail anything. People use the USPS because they, unlike Eli, want to. Eli’s disdain for postal employees who actually work for a living, and the millions of Americans who depend on them every day shouldn’t come as much of a surprise though- consider his resume: Eli Lehrer is President of R Street, a free-market think tank with offices in Washington, D.C., Columbus, Ohio, Tallahassee, Florida, and Austin, Texas. Prior to heading R Street, Lehrer was a Vice President of the Heartland Institute who, along with his staff, left Heartland to create R Street in May of 2012. He has also been a reporter at the Washington Times, a senior editor of the American Enterprise Institute’s magazine, a project manager for the Unisys Corporation, a fellow for the Heritage Foundation, and speechwriter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Translation: Has never actually worked a day in his life!

BISMARCK, N.D. — The Dakota Access pipeline leaked 84 gallons of oil in South Dakota early last month, which an American Indian tribe says bolsters its argument that the pipeline jeopardizes its water supply and deserves further environmental review. The April 4 spill was relatively small and was quickly cleaned up, and it didn’t threaten any waterways. The state’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources posted a report in its website’s searchable database, but it didn’t take any other steps to announce it to the public, despite an ongoing lawsuit by four Sioux tribes seeking to shut down the pipeline. Brian Walsh, an environmental scientist with the agency, said Wednesday that the state doesn’t issue news releases on spills unless there is a threat to public health, a fishery or a drinking water system. He said there was no such threat with the Dakota Access leak, which happened nearly 100 miles east of the Missouri River’s Lake Oahe reservoir, which is the tribes’ water supply. “We realize Dakota Access gets a lot of attention. We also try to treat all of our spills in a consistent manner,” Walsh said. “We treated this as we would treat any other 84-gallon oil spill.”	2020-01-18T21:23:13Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250593937.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20200118193018-20200118221018-00025.warc.gz	en	0.961843	266	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-05", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b8258148-e890-4051-85a3-fc9aabe4829f>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.abqjournal.com/1001497/dakota-access-pipeline-leaked-84-gallons-of-oil-in-april.html" }
The phrase “innocent until proven guilty” is a cornerstone of American jurisprudence, but this mantra does not always apply when it comes to people who are accused of drunken driving. Judges in Northampton County. Pennsylvania have faced scrutiny from private citizens who are concerned about the courts’ practice of revoking driver’s licenses before suspected DUI drivers are actually convicted for their crimes, according to a recent report from The Morning Call, a newspaper in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. In a practice that occurs in states across the country every day, judges in this Pennsylvania county reportedly have been revoking suspected drunk drivers’ licenses before they receive a trial to determine their guilt. Judge Leonard Zito, who works in Easton, Pennsylvania, has started to revoke the driver’s licenses of people who he believes are dragging their feet in court. According to Zito, taking these licenses early in the process helps speed up the DUI court process and potentially protects other drivers on the roads. One DUI attorney, however, has joined several other legal practitioners in criticizing this maneuver, claiming that revoking a person’s license is akin to presuming that person’s guilt. There are many features of modern trials that enhance the appearance of a person’s guilt. Presence in front of the court, for example, suggests that a person has done something wrong—and there’s little judges can do to dispel this presumption. The revocation of a license does seem to strongly suggest that a driver is indeed guilty of a DUI, but it does burden them with a consequence that could otherwise be dealt only after a trial, well before that person receives the due process he or she is entitled to under the Constitution. Of course, while lawyers will continue to challenge such decisions, public safety concerns seem to trump other factors when the merits of revoking driver’s licenses are debated. Judges simply don’t want the risk of suspected DUI drivers getting into potentially fatal accidents while they await their hearings. Still, many advocates for criminal defendants claim that the damage such actions do to the presumption of innocence outweigh any real or perceived public health risks. The debate, it’s fair to say, will likely continue as long as the judges across the country continue this controversial practice.	2014-10-22T22:24:20Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507447660.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005727-00113-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.965215	477	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-42", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:e333ff22-147b-4608-a079-69fe2b82fe10>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.totaldui.com/blog/tag/dui-procedures/" }
Andy and I were having a conversation with a group that we are working with on a new project. When discussing integration to our API, transactional sets and fields within them. One of them asked the following question: In the Balance Response message that you send us, can you tell me the difference between the “AvailableBalance” field and the “CurrentBalance” field? Current balance is the real, financial balance. Available balance is the current balance minus any holds. On the open loop side… An auth does a hold – it affects only available. A completion releases the hold and decrements both the available and current by the final transaction amount.	2018-09-20T19:18:17Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156554.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20180920175529-20180920195929-00204.warc.gz	en	0.935084	139	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-39", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:25ebaeec-7784-4fb2-aa09-81743f547266>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.paymentsystemsblog.com/2011/01/20/whats-the-difference-between-current-and-available-balance/" }

SOUTHFIELD, Michigan (FOX 2) – After the COVID-19 pandemic forced most shoppers to stay home on Black Friday in 2020, that changed this year as shoppers returned to many big box stores, including Best Buy in Southfield . “We go to the store first with what we want most,” said Alfie Davison of Redford. But when temperatures are below freezing, even the most detailed Black Friday shopping plans can be hijacked. The determined bargain hunters were at Best Buy in Southfield staying in their cars until they could no longer. FOX 2: “Everyone was waiting for someone to move and are you the one? “Yeah, I wanted the Xbox,” said Emily Boutell, Adrian. This Xbox is on countless Christmas lists this year. Electronics, toys, and clothing should all be big sellers. But with chip shortages and shipping delays, supplies will likely be limited – and prices will likely be 5-17 percent higher. “We were like half and half on an Xbox, this will be our only craze for Black Friday, it didn’t go as planned,” said Arie Mees, Redford. Experts predict that sales will increase this time around, compared to 2020, which was the slowest in two decades. So even though the Friday morning queue is even shorter than we’re used to, we hope it heralds better days. And the company you keep while you’re at it, just as meaningful. “It’s a family tradition,” said Megan Holmes of Farmington. “I always go with my sister and my mom. We open the Black Friday ads, they were a bit lacking this year.” Online sales have also increased and businesses are now banking on that. Many promote special perks like curbside and in-store pickup, which was popular at Best Buy on Telegraph.	2022-01-21T07:41:32Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302740.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121071203-20220121101203-00274.warc.gz	en	0.97341	402	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-05", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:987102cd-db0f-490d-b818-4f336e101352>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://xbox-platinium.com/buyers-return-to-stores-for-black-friday-deals/" }

COLUMBUS -- Voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to revamp the way Ohio draws state and congressional districts. That was Issue 2. They also rejected Issue 1. That's where the Ohio Constitution dictates that every 20 years voters be asked whether they want to see a convention to revise or rewrite that document. Ohioans have said "No" each time since 1932, the first time the question was posed. In unofficial results, Issue 1 was defeated by a 68 percent to 32 percent margin; while Issie 2 was defeated by a 64 percent to 36 percent margin. As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, several precints across the state have not been reported. The defeat of Issue 2 is important. Issue 2 would have created a new citizens commission to draw districts in Ohio. But the complexity of the plan, and a hard-charging effort by Republicans to highlight what they saw as significant flaws in the proposal, helped drive its downfall. The legislature has created a Constitutional Modernization Commission, consisting of 12 lawmakers and 20 "public" members, that will view changes to the constitution and make recommendations in the next decade. Issue 2 began as an effort by a number of nonprofit groups including the League of Women Voters of Ohio to fix what they say is an unfair, highly partisan redistricting process that allows the majority party to gerrymander districts to its benefit.	2013-12-09T11:34:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163966854/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133246-00048-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.979268	279	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2013-48", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:fe51e58a-9b61-4f3a-869b-0bb35d8c89b0>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://archive.wkyc.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=268295" }
Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican who's been outspoken in remembrance of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the wake of Saturday's shooting, says he wishes there was one more gun in Tucson, Ariz., the day of the massacre. "I wish there had been one more gun there that day in the hands of a responsible person, that's all I have to say," Franks said, visibly irritated at a question about increased gun control. The comment came as GOP lawmakers were being briefed by the FBI, sergeant at arms and leadership staff on security. Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was taking the right steps, adding that law enforcement officials would later pass out written information on the any increased security. Much of the talk is centering around lawmakers increasing coordination with local law enforcement when they're back in the district. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who plans to carry a concealed weapon to events, said he thought that e-mails from Capitol Hill law enforcement to members should've come quicker than it did. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) has already designated a local law enforcement liaison in his office, and he said they've begun reaching out to security officials.	2016-10-24T03:56:01Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719465.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00498-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.980668	260	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2016-44", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b28cb83d-b59c-400d-9808-5693df9d27df>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-congress/2011/01/ariz-rep-wishes-there-was-one-more-gun-in-tucson-032270" }
We are going to put on our timey wimey stuff hats and pretend that this show is being released during the month of February, as it was originally intended. When I record a Bel Folks Stuff I tend to give the victim as much time as possible. So I approached Qelric back in January to talk about this show… and she every so graciously accepted. The problem is that life happened in the time between, with her getting an absolutely horrible case of chicken pox towards the beginning of the month, and me dealing this this insane bronchitis mess towards the end. The result is we recorded the “February” episode in March… and that I supposed is just fine so long as it came out in any form. Qelric is quite literally one of the only youtubers I watch with any regularity because she brings to her craft a style that you don’t generally see on youtube any more. She presents extremely content dense videos in a news like format, making them far easier for me to digest without the rambling exposition. If you are not familiar with your videos, I highly suggest you check them out. On top of this however Q is just a downright interesting person, and we have interacted for what feels like years. I had a delightful afternoon/evening sitting down to record this episode. Before we knew it a couple of hours had passed and we had a mammoth hour and a half long show. The awesome thing is… even after the mic stopped recording we wound up talking for another thirty or forty minutes. I love it when the conversation is natural and flowing. Hopefully you will all enjoy this as much as I did recording it.

Last week's eliminated contestant Tom has been passionate about fashion since he was 15-years-old. Choosing fashion design over a football career, this lovable lad won the hearts of his fellow contestants and even some of the judges on Project Catwalk. Now, thanks to the show, he works for House of Holland... not bad hey? Our sister site Catwalk Queen caught up with him this week... Catwalk Queen: How is Project Catwalk different in real life than what we see on TV? Tom: It's very different. There seems to be a lot of editing and certain people come across as really venomous, when they're not. Everyone did get along in the house, there isn't as much bitchiness as what is made out. CQ: Mentor and judge Ben de Lisi seemed to be genuinely upset when you were eliminated. Was this genuine? T: It was both Kelly [Osborne] and Ben who set me off crying. I got along really well with both of them, in fact I go out for drinks with Kelly. It was pretty emotional, I've definitely got a ribbing for it. CQ: Do you think that you deserved to be eliminated for your Breakthrough Breast Cancer design? T: I was gutted to be honest, I didn't think I'd be going home. My design definitely wasn't the worst one, I think Viv's design was the weakest. Perhaps I came across as too complacent and should have fought for my corner like the others. CQ: So if you could do it all over it again, would you do anything differently? T: I still maintain it was the best experience I've ever had. I probably would have fought for my place a bit more, but the show has opened so many doors for me. It was definitely a foot in the right door! CQ: What are you up to now? T: Well after I won the challenge to create 'fashion's next big trend', Henry Holland gave me his business card. I rang him and was eventually offered me a job working on the team at House of Holland. I helped put together their Autumn/Winter 2008-9 collection (click here for our show report) at London Fashion Week. CQ: What was it like working at LFW then? T: It was wicked! It was also seriously intense. But I think I'm going to stick with House of Holland for a while, we're a small select group of people, kind of like a family. CQ: Now for the usual last question... Who do you think is going to win Project Catwalk? T: I don't know, it's hard to say. I think Ross might win. I really hope Viv doesn't win and I don't mean that in a nasty way, it's just because of the technical side of things. She hasn't studied and had the technical training which some of us have had to build a career upon. Project Catwalk series three is currently screening on Sky One, Wednesday nights at 9pm. It is repeated on Sky Three the following evening.--> Came straight to this page?

Roberto Martinez believes Marouane Fellaini’s departure has enabled him to make Everton a stronger team. The Belgium international departed Goodison minutes before the transfer deadline on Monday evening in a £27.5m deal with Manchester United. His move followed a summer of widespread speculation over the midfielder’s future – and was on the same day the Goodison chief acquired the services of James McCarthy for £13m from Wigan, Gareth Barry on loan from Manchester City and Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea. The trio of arrivals followed the early summer signings of Joel Robles, Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Koneand Gerard Deulofeu. With Fellaini and Victor Anichebe – sold to West Brom – the only major outgoings, the Blues boss is satisfied the transfer window has shut with Everton boasting a stronger squad of players. He told evertontv: “I’m sure that every Evertonian will have good memories of Marouane and that’s the way it should be. It has allowed us to improve the squad and make us a stronger team. It’s all been done in the right way. “It’s important that we have closed the window and are stronger than what we were when it started. I know there has been a lot of talk in the press but when you have got performers and players there is going to be some interest (in our players).” Leighton Baines is one of those players who has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move away from Goodison. But he remains an Everton player – and the manager is happy the window has now closed, bringing an end to the media attention. He added: “From having interest to a situation where you have to consider a move is very, very different. Leighton is a very special footballer and a special player for Everton and we are looking forward to him enjoying the challenge that lies ahead. “The window is over and there is a good opportunity to concentrate on football. That’s the way it should be. There’s been a lot of talk, a lot of speculation and now the reality is that we can concentrate on the games and we can concentrate on the future of Everton Football Club. That’s the only thing that matters.” The manager has also paid tribute to Fellaini for his service to Everton during his five years on Merseyside. He concluded: “Marouane has been a top and consistent performer for us and he leaves Everton with our best wishes. We wish him the very best of luck. It was always the case when a club would match his valuation, he would be allowed to do that. There were a lot of wrong stories and a lot of talk and the truth is that the valuation was matched. Marouane was allowed to move on in his career and we are all happy to wish him well.”	2022-06-26T11:09:06Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103205617.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20220626101442-20220626131442-00435.warc.gz	en	0.978152	619	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-27", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3e367c91-ed14-42e8-9b7f-d5e5f44a54f8>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.theevertonforum.co.uk/martinez-baines-is-a-very-special-player-and-we-have-come-out-the-window-stronger/" }

The Niggers Next Door Want Your Home: … It isn’t stealing when it’s taken from an unbeliever. … Not only did Muhammad take much of the town’s possessions and land, but he actually had the tribe’s treasurer The koran teaches arabs (Including many of my own family, and because I grew up with them I’m an expert. I’ve never stolen in my life) to take it, anything at all, if they want it or need it. I arrived home on Thursday 02.07.15, 6.30 pm to be told by my black muslim neighbour, that they want my council house for themselves, and that they were the one’s who smashed all my windows for years in an attempt to move me out. I already knew this, but now I have the conviction of her statement to go to press. They already have most of the area. I have been to the council. They are the council, and so what will be done? Whole areas of Britain have been taken over this way. Christian families broken up and displaced. Children taken into care, ruthlessly destroyed, victimised, and often slaughtered in the name of a false religion. A false religion which demands of it’s believers (arabs) that they emigrate to other lands and take them over in the name of someone called Allah. God knows who he is. To say my God hates them is a lot of an understatement. Satan had a lot to do with the koran, is also a gross understatement	2018-02-18T20:06:43Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812259.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180218192636-20180218212636-00308.warc.gz	en	0.975986	332	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-09", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:05ac2454-f275-4baf-9cc9-7ae6beb585c3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://gdicm.wordpress.com/heathens-in-britain/the-niggers-next-door-want-your-home/" }

How to fight the flaky aleirode in a biological way The control of the citrus-flavored’Aleirode (Aleurothrixus floccosus (Mask.)), Also known as the fluffy white Moscow of citrus fruits, starts from some agronomic considerations. This insect arrived in Sicily in the port of Trapani, in the ’80s, is now widespread in the citrus areas of central and southern Italy, the islands and Liguria. The adult of this insect, which has dimensions of about 1.5 mm in length, is yellowish and has the body covered with a whitish waxy powder; the nymphs, on the other hand, are characteristic for the abundant flocky interweaving of white wax threads, which protect the body. The damage is mainly due to sap suction, with the production of abundant honeydew that, together with the waxy production, smears fruits and leaves (to prevent access to farmers) with subsequent establishment of fumigates and ants. Insects lurk in the lower pages of the leaves and also on the fruits. The result, in addition to the depreciation of the fruit can even come to the death of the plants. The biological cycle of the Aleurothrixus floccosus is characterized by the overcoming of winter as a neanid of 3rd or 4th age; it can survive the winter even as an egg. The flicker of adults starts from the beginning of spring with egg laying, in a semicircle or circle, on the lower page of the leaves. During the year it is possible to have 4-6 generations on average. Before even talking about means of struggle for this insect, it should be immediately clear that the first containment must be operated with cultivation techniques and measures that disadvantage the Aleurothrixus floccosus. The main measures are the elimination of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, substituted by organic ones; Nitric nitrogen tends to make the leaves particularly appetite for this insect. Another technique is that of the greater aeration of the foliage, with a gradual thinning of the internal parts and subsequent washing, from the bottom to the top, with water and Marseilles soap. This insect takes great advantage of dusty plants and therefore even the simple washing with water, repeated several times, annoys it. Another good technique is that of the cultivation of citrus groves which create ecological conditions favorable to various antagonists. Among the antagonists I remember especially the afelinide, Cales noacki which, together with G. Liotta and G. Maniglia, we introduced in early 1980. The result was surprising and with launches (in addition to the above techniques), sample and various parts of Sicily, the population of A. Floccosus began to decline rapidly. The launch of a black vespina (Aphelinus mali Haid.) Was also performed, but it has never been able to adapt well to our climatic conditions and above all to the control of the Aleurothrixus floccosus.

DellaPenna's performance on the carillon, an instrument made of 35 bells, didn't go over well with the judges, however. "If hell had a musician, you would be it," celebrity judge Howard Stern commented, also telling the masked musician his music gave him a headache. All three judges, including Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel, gave the showman X's. None were impressed by his costume or his unique talent. While the performer generally does not speak in public, he did respond to judges' questions on the show. He tweeted earlier today: "It was a rough night, but I am not discouraged. Thanks for all the support!" But DellaPenna still has the chance to move on to compete for the final win, which includes a $1 million prize. If viewers vote to keep him on, he will move ahead to the final stages of the contest.	2016-05-03T06:53:40Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860118807.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161518-00139-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.990185	187	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2016-18", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:9818a70e-8ddd-4c15-b670-a15c79777012>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/music/index.ssf/2012/08/cast_in_bronze_-_musikfest_fav.html" }
An Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)–Medicaid managed care policy consensus has emerged in the American states. Although there are two main organizational forms—primary care case management and risk-based capitation models—states are converging on the risk-based approach for their AFDC recipients. Risk-based Medicaid managed care for AFDC recipients assumes a distinct purpose and meaning. The reform is not just about cost control and improving access but about enduring welfare concerns: deservingness, need, and empowerment. Despite recent federal policies that have essentially severed the eligibility link between AFDC and Medicaid, state policy elites still conceive of poor families on Medicaid as a “welfare” group. Assumptions about the need for behavior modification and the need to integrate this group into “mainstream” America shape perceptions about why Medicaid managed care is appropriate for AFDC-Medicaid recipients.

The Sakura Prophecy Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura or any of its characters. All are property of CLAMP. Author's Notes: This is my first chaptered fic. If you want anything to be improved, please tell me in the review. My Japanese is very rusty, and I've added phrases and endings to names to give the fic a more Japanese feel. If you object, tell me. The words which Sakura uses to conjure a card or return it to its card are from the English series in this fic. Sorry! If anyone has more info, or any protests, I can change that right away. Oh, and what is Kaho's last name again in Japanese? Great thanks to anyone who could tell me! Enjoy the fic! "There shall come a time, When two captors will join forces. They have been predestined to capture cards, And this is known to them. But they do not know of an impending force, One more formidable than anything--- The lost card. This card was never sealed, never caught. No card, or even guardian, has the power to defeat it. Only when the two captors shall come together, Admitting their feelings, Their love will form a true card strong enough.... To finally demolish the renegade card, Which has caused so much hurt to all. But the world will not know of the two mysterious young children.... Who came from the lineage of Clow Reed, And saved the world." Chapter one: Prophecies and Foes "Come on, Sakura! We don't have all day!" Syaoran said, frowning at her. The two were walking to Tomoeda Elementary together, and Sakura was lagging behind. She kept thinking about something that Kero had told her before. "Sakura, I think that there is some kind of prophecy predicted for you and Syaoran...." "What are you talking about, Kero?" "I'm not exactly sure. It was from over two hundred years ago. You and Syaoran may be the ones to fulfill it. Only time will tell though." "I wish I knew what the prophecy was, Kero." "I'm sorry I can't tell you any more. Speaking of more, that Yuki kid stole the most cake yesterday when he was over. It's not fair. Hmph.... I'm a guardian and some kid with glasses gets all of MY cake?! Unbelievable." Kero flew out of the room. "I'm sorry, Li-kun. It's just that lately..... Kero-chan has told me this weird thing about some prophecy.... involving me, and possibly you," Sakura said, looking sad and confused. "Sakura-chan, don't worry. It'll be fine. Now all you have to worry about is passing that pre-algebra exam. It's today, you know," Syaoran said in a warning tone. "N-nani?! A test today?! Oi, why didn't you tell me sooner, Li-kun?! I'm going to fail!" Sakura exclaimed as she raced off to school, a new motivation to get there you could say. The class started, and the teacher greeted the students. All heads in the room bowed in respect simultaneously, then everyone nervously took their seats, readying themselves for the test. About thirty minutes later, the teacher glanced at her watch and cleared her throat. This was kind of a classroom signal that they had one minute left to finish the examination. Sakura's pencil flew all over the paper as she figured out problems and solved the ones she missed in the last precious seconds. Tomoyo, sitting next to Sakura, waved hello. Sakura smiled a little, then concentrated on finishing the stupid test. "Pencils down, minna-chan. The test is over. Please place all papers on the front desk as you leave, and have a good rest of the day," Kaho said in a kind, calm voice as the sound of young voices filled the classroom. Sakura stood up, finding Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Eriol. The four usually sat around after school under the cherry blossom tree, their way of "hanging out". But today was different. Sakura didn't want to relax. She wanted to get to the bottom of the mysterious prophecy. What did it have to do with her, or Syaoran? Did it have to do with their card-capturing quest? Sakura pushed away the uneasy questions. She walked towards the group of children who were waiting for her. Tomoyo smiled, her indigo eyes sparkling as she pulled out a video camera. "Sakura-chan, I've come up with the cutest costume! It will be so kawaii on you, you have to try it on sometime!" she said in a kind but thrilled voice. Sakura smiled and nodded in agreement. She was used to the costumes, the attention, the video-taping. Her best friend was sometimes a little too overboard with the costumes, but Sakura didn't mind. Tomoyo worked so hard on this, so she deserved some happiness. Eriol nodded to Tomoyo's comment. "Sakura, you do go well in a lot of colors. You should be a model," he said with suaveness. Sakura blushed a little, and grinned at Eriol's gentleman ways. "Oh, why thank you, Eriol-kun. You know that your sweet comments are well received on this part of the line," Sakura said, giggling a little. She liked to flirt with Eriol a little, just to spice up everyday life. However, Sakura wasn't one to flirt with any random man. He had to treat her well, like Eriol...... Or Syaoran. The brown-haired boy's blood boiled as he watched the English boy steal the show. "Hrmph. Stupid kid, thinking he's the big man on campus or something," he grumbled to himself. "What was that, dear cousin?" Eriol said in his normal tone. Syaoran's anger shot up some more. "Nothing, nothing at all," the Chinese boy said briskly. For the rest of the walk home, he didn't speak to Eriol. Sakura and Syaoran walked together, chatting casually about the times when they had sealed cards or barely escaped danger during the final judgment with Yue and Cerberus. Eriol and Tomoyo also talked quietly, occasionally laughing at a little joke Eriol had thought amusing. The two seemed to be getting along just fine. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge explosion rocked the earth. Sakura was thrown to the ground, and Eriol gave her his hand. "Going up," he said in a cheery voice as he pulled the young girl to her feet. Eriol also helped up Tomoyo, keeping his hand on her shoulder for an extra second as he looked her over to make sure she wasn't hurt. Shaking it off quickly, Eriol blushed ever so slightly as he and Tomoyo looked away from each other and both towards Sakura. "Sakura-chan, are you all right?" Eriol and Tomoyo said at the same time. They looked at each other once again, blushing a pale pink as they tried to avoid each other's gaze. Once more, both put a hand on Sakura's shoulder to try to steady or comfort her. Tomyo and Eriol stared at each other, fascinated yet bewildered. Something new rose up in Eriol's chest, the same in Tomoyo's. They didn't say anything yet. Sakura didn't exactly notice the whole thing, just parts. "Whatt's going on..." was all she could manage. Syaoran stood aloof, arms crossed. "Hey! No one cares about me, huh? I'll just quit then and go back to living with Meiling !" he shouted in a very un-Syaoran like manner. Everyone sweat-dropped. Director shakes their head, as does author. Sakura raised an eyebrow, a huge sweatdrop on her head. "Hoeeee?! Li-kun, what's gotten into you? Fine, quit if you're that mad. Wait, did you say you lived with Meiling?" Sakura said, exasperated because the fic was going nowhere. Syaoran nodded curtly. Author walks into fic, knocks some sense into Syaoran, then walks off, dusting her hands off. Everyone sweatdrops now, even Eriol and Tomoyo. Author (screaming): this ends right.... NOW! Everyone sweat-drops yet again, and the fic finally continues. "Sakura-chan, what do you think that explosion was? It couldn't be another card, right?" Tomoyo said in a curious manner. Eriol nodded. "Yes, Tomoyo, that's correct. There are no cards left to be caught or sealed. Unless..." Eriol trailed off. All four kids looked shocked as Kero flew onto the scene, mumbling a quick hello. "Sakura-chan, there- there's something..... I need to tell you...... the prophecy..... runaway card..... " he panted, his little stuffed-animal figure shaking with deep breaths. Sakura looked extremely surprised. "A new card?!" she whispered, looking at Syaoran strangely. TO BE CONTINUED! End notes: how was it? Should I continue? Should I keep using Japanese suffixes and phrases? Should I reveal the---dun dun dun..... renegade card? Review, onegai!	2015-02-28T02:35:18Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936461647.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074101-00058-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.972384	2,070	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-11", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3a39b9ae-dd02-4759-b98d-225d650e6ed3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.fanfiction.net/s/399639/1/The-Sakura-Prophecy" }
Here’s some good news to start the weekend with: Aol’s Patch sites have doubled their traffic this year. Forbes reports that visitors to the entire Patch.com network hit 6.9 million in April, which is pretty good considering where traffic was prior to that: According to ComScore, Patch’s 800 sites attracted a collective audience of 6.9 million unique visitors in April. Now, that’s not terribly impressive on a per-site basis, and it pales in comparison to Huffpo’s audience of almost 30 million. But it’s a big jump from where Patch started the year: It had just over 3 million uniques in December 2010 and just a hair under 4 million in January. Everyone has to start somewhere.	2015-02-01T04:31:19Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121967958.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175247-00102-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.961764	161	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-06", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:9721aceb-af46-4dfc-bfa9-4442b8e511be>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.adweek.com/fishbowlny/traffic-to-aols-patch-has-doubled/37730?red=ny" }

This is the first in a two part set of Beethoven's Lieder und Gesänge issued by Signum Classics. Beethoven himself was not a keen song-writer and did not think he was very good at it, yet despite this, almost half of his total works call for a voice. This disc includes some of the best of those compositions. The ones he thought lesser works he didn’t ascribe an opus number to, and on several occasions he would have two or more attempts at the same words; hence the four versions of Sehnsucht, and two of An die Geliebte. Most of the songs belong to the so called ‘Middle Period’ of Beethoven’s compositions. first CD is devoted to three collections of songs. The first is a collection composed at various times but brought together and revised in 1809. Four of the poems are from Beethoven’s literary hero Goethe. They are well delivered and the Song of the Flea from Faust had me chuckling at the accompaniment. Gellert songs are all variously praises to God and correspondingly have a solemn theme running through and thus we have Beethoven at his most serious and earnest. Appropriately, these are sung exclusively by the baritone. Italian Arias and Duets Op 82 are all by the poet Pietro Metastasio and all deal with aspects of love. The third one is sung first by the man – Arietta buffa; then the woman – Arietta assai seriosa; and one has the impression that the lovers have arranged a rendezvous but each is waiting in a different place! In the final duet the singers are well matched and respond to each other tenderly in the final ‘o dolore’. second CD begins with An die Geliebte which is also track 3 – the difference being the accompaniment both very different from each other. 2, 4, 6, and 8 are settings of the same song, this time Sehnsucht with words by Goethe, This time the only common thing is the words as the tune and accompaniment are different. Track 10 is another Sehnsucht this time the words are by Reissig. Seufzer eines Ungeliebten und Gegenliebe (track 12) starts like a recitative and aria but holds a surprise in it. Composed in 1794 it is the earliest song on the disc but halfway through the mood changes and the tune is from the Choral Fantasy Op 80 of 1808, which itself was the precursor of the Ninth Symphony – a revelation that this had such a long gestation In questa tomba oscura is the result of a challenge issued in 1807-8 when composers were invited to set this poem by Giuseppe Carpini. Sixty submitted entries but this is the only memorable setting. the Op 52 set we are back with the strophic songs. The subject matter in the first five are variously love and death. The sixth about a traveller and his marmot (a small animal, heavily built, having short legs, a short furry tail, and coarse fur). The seventh about the wonders of flowers. And lastly, a comic song ‘The Travails of a Bore’, where the singer travels far and wide only to discover that people are the same everywhere! two singers give some splendid renditions of these songs, and although Ann Murray is not as sweet toned as she used to be, this does not detract from the pleasure these disc have given one would expect from one of the greatest pianists of his time, Beethoven’s accompaniments are not just background support but play their full part in telling the story of the song. Indeed one could take the voice part away and still have a satisfying piano morsel. These are played with great artistry by Iain Burnside, adding to the enjoyment of this music. your experience of Beethoven’s lieder is only ‘An die Ferne Geliebte’ and ‘Adelaide’, then I can recommend you purchase this two CD set and enjoy the rich and varied world of one of the greatest song writers of his time.

Five Amazing Tips for Pet Care by Pet Qwerks Toys on May 3, 2019 Whether you are a first-time owner or if you are just looking to step up your pet-owner game, there are a few tips that you either haven’t yet tried or have tried and stepped off your game for a bit. Whatever the case may be, wishing and wanting your pup or cat—or ferret or pigeon—to have a long, healthy, and happy life is certainly something you can help accomplish! At PetHairPatrol our goal is to help pet owners find the best solutions to any pet-related problem. These five tips can help put you back on course with your pet-ownership and contribute to a long and healthy life for your best, furry friend: 1. Know who your vet is and take your pet there for all of his or her checkups. Just like if you were to have a human child, getting to know your furbaby’s doctor and taking them there for regular care is a responsibility of every pet owner. Although your dog or cat might not particularly like these visits—it’s best for them to go there anyway. Proper vet care includes routine vaccines, examinations, and even treatment if your pet is diagnosed with something. If you complete these checks on a regular basis, then you are most likely to save money—and avoid poor health in your pet—in the long term. 2. You might not like the price, but feeding your pet a high-quality diet is essential. For your pet to have a shiny coat, healthy skin, and stay in good health—with all that energy you love, a good diet can help with just that. If you don’t have the money to dish out for the pure-quality stuff, you can even try some at-home recipes (with your vet’s go-ahead). A quality diet will work wonders for your pet—it will help them strengthen their immune system and intestinal health, keep their muscles and joints working properly, and keep their mind strong. 3. Avoid obesity—for you and your pet. Not only does health mean a nutritious diet—you should also focus on regular exercise. If you or your pet are obese, that puts the both of you at risk for some serious and avoidable diseases. Being overweight can not only bring on a whole mess of health problems, but it also shortens the life span of your pet. So, if you’re not going to take back your health, at least do it for your dog. 4. Keep your pet supervised—at all times. Whether you are just locking them in the house or in the (securely-fenced) yard while you’re at work or you have a pet-sitter watching or coming to check on them, this will eliminate or at least decrease his or her “roaming hours”, where they are allowed outside. Pets who roam tend to be in danger of not only things like automobile accidents, but also fights with other animals (especially if they’re small), unsupervised interactions with humans (and their lawns), and interaction with contagious diseases or poisons. 5. Focus on oral health. Although you may have never thought about brushing your dog’s teeth—now might be a fantastic time to start. Oral and dental diseases and health issues can actually leave your pet in pain—which is heartbreaking for you and makes it hard for them to eat. If left untreated, it can also lead to something much worse. Even if you are just investing in dental treats, this can make all the difference in the world. Bonus tip: If you’re planning on taking your pet outside—especially if he or she is a dog—it’s worth it to keep an eye out for pests, allergens, and toxins. To help with these three things, simply keep your pet’s health conditions up-to-date on preventatives and shots. After having been outside for a while, check your pet’s skin for ticks. For allergens, observe your dog or cat if they seem to be scratching excessively, this might not only be because of an insect bite but also possibly because of an allergic reaction to an insect or grass. Also, keep your life and your pet clean. Your pet is a part of the family, and in your home, you also want all members of your family to be happy and healthy. To keep your home clean—especially if you have an extra-furry pet— you need to make sure you brush your pet regularly and take the time in investing in a high-performing pet hair vacuum,to rid your house of all that fur. Brushing your pet and doing regular cleanups will reduce dust, allergens and pet hair in your home – keeping your whole family happy and healthy. We hope that these tips have helped in a few ways to organize your pet care responsibilities.	2019-10-23T10:38:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987833089.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20191023094558-20191023122058-00484.warc.gz	en	0.958728	1,033	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-43", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:952cac2e-ec05-480b-aad7-46c26fb5df0c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://petqwerks.com/five-amazing-tips-pet-care/" }
Gangnam Style Overshadows Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill In Cable News Coverage An Equality Matters analysis found that cable news networks' coverage of the reemergence of Uganda's proposed "Kill the Gays" bill - legislation which would make homosexuality punishable by death - has been scant over the past several weeks and paled in comparison to their coverage of the Korean pop song "Gangnam Style." Analysis: Cable News Networks Underreported Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill Cable News Networks Underreported Reemergence Of "Kill The Gays" Bill, Focused On Gangnam Style. According to an Equality Matters analysis, between October 31 and December 5, both CNN and Fox News devoted more time to covering Korean pop star Psy's song "Gangnam Style" than reporting on the renewed support for the passage of Uganda's "Kill the Gays" law. There is no indication that Fox News covered the measure: - MSNBC Mentioned The Bill In Only Two Segments Over The Course Of Equality Matters' Study. Ugandan Parliament Speaker Has Promised To Bring "Kill The Gays" Bill To A Vote. In October, Uganda's Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga vowed to bring the country's controversial "Kill the Gays" bill up for a vote. Her statement came in response to the threat that Western countries, including the United States, might cut off foreign aid to Uganda over the country's treatment of LGBT people. KADAGA: I will not accept to be intimidated or to be directed by any government in the world because we are independent. We are Ugandans. I will now instruct the chair of the Committee of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to quickly bring the report of the anti-homosexuality bill so that we discuss it and so that Uganda can take a position. If the price of aid is going to be promoting homosexuality in this country, I think we don't want that aid. I don't think we want it. [Think Progress, 10/31/12 , emphasis added] Kadaga Pledged To Pass "Kill The Gays" Bill As A "Christmas Gift" To The Law's Supporters. According to BBC News: Ms Kadaga said she hoped the bill, first tabled in 2009 and now before a parliamentary committee, would be passed by the end of the year, Reuters news agency reports. "Ugandans want that law as a Christmas gift. They have asked for it and we'll give them that gift," Ms Kadaga is quoted as saying. [BBC News, 11/13/12 ] "Kill The Gays" Bill Is Likely To Pass, Vote Could Be "Any Day." According to the Huffington Post: In the next few weeks the Ugandan parliament is poised to bring back a bill that would sentence lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people to imprisonment and in some cases death. The bill has been scheduled for an "order of business to follow" and could be voted on this week. It is expected to easily pass, and then it will be up to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to veto the bill. His veto could be overturned by the assembly. [Huffington Post, 11/26/12 ] "Kill The Gays" Bill Maintains Death Penalty For Homosexuality, Even After Revisions. According to Box Turtle Bulletin's Jim Burroway: The Anti-Homosexuality Bill was reintroduced into Parliament last February and referred to the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee for possible modifications. When the same committee considered the bill in May of 2011, the committee recommended a sly change to the bill, removing the explicit language of "suffer(ing) death," and replacing it with a reference to the penalties provided in an unrelated already existing law. That law however specifies the death penalty. Which means that the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee actually recommended that the death penalty be retained through stealth while the bill's supporters publicly stated that the penalty had been removed. [Box Turtle Bulletin, 10/31/12 ] Equality Matters searched news transcripts provided by TV Eyes and Snapstream for the terms "Uganda" and "Gangnam" between October 31, 2012 (Kadaga's announcement) and December 5. Reruns were excluded. For segments that discussed a variety of issues including Uganda's "Kill the Gays" bill, only time spent discussing the bill was recorded.	2016-05-30T12:47:53Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051002346.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005002-00149-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.956379	921	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2016-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:501954eb-95af-4e40-a16a-f947a04f4a8d>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.mediamatters.org/print/research/2012/12/12/gangnam-style-overshadows-ugandas-kill-the-gays/191814" }
Every job seeker wants to find the perfect job, almost as much as each company wants to find the perfect candidate. At BestCompaniesAZ, our goal is to connect the BEST companies in Arizona with the BEST candidates. We’ve done our research and have some valuable job seeker tips and tricks to help you prepare for a career event and land your dream job. 7 Job Seeker Tips to Prepare for Career Events 1. Know Your Strengths and Transferable Skills What makes YOU unique? Resumes are great; however, you are so much more than experience on a piece of paper. When talking to recruiters and hiring companies, be confident in what makes you different and why your unique personality traits make you the perfect candidate for the job you’re seeking. 2. Research the Hiring Companies When it comes to researching a company, research more than just their open positions. Interestingly, companies place a high value on hiring candidates that have a good culture fit. While technical skills and experience are still important, highlighting why the company culture would be the perfect fit for you can leave a lasting impression on recruiters. Where should you start? Check out our Best Employers in Arizona and research more about the employers that spark your attention. 3. Review the Career Openings in Advance and Build Your Resume Knowing your skills and strengths as a job seeker is essential to finding a job where you will succeed. Once you identify them, search through company careers where your skills, abilities and interests will get the most fulfillment. If you find a potential career match when preparing for the career event, build your resume to highlight your skills and apply. The day of the career event print out a few copies of your interview and dress to impress. Excitingly, some companies may have onsite applications where you can search and apply for jobs while talking to the recruiters at the event. 4. Develop your “personal pitch” – Share your stories With limited time at a career event you may only have a few minutes to “wow” the recruiter with your story. When employers ask about you, deliver a personal pitch that tells the employer in 30 – 60 seconds the following points: - Confidently tell them who you are - Highlight your skills and strengths - Explain how you would fit into the company culture Review this article from The Muse for a 15 minute method on writing your unforgettable personal pitch as you prepare for the career event. 5. Manage Your Online Brand As a job seeker, be aware of your online presence. Hiring companies are doing their research just like you are. Take the time to fully develop your LinkedIn profile, not only can hiring companies see your skills and past experience, you can also connect with people at the event. If you connect with recruiters at the event, personalize your request and send them a note about meeting them. 6. Expand Your Network – Talk to friends and family We understand, award-winning companies receive thousands of resumes and it can get overwhelming waiting to hear back. Be proactive, make yourself notable by seeing if you have any connections within the company. A referred candidate often gets moved to the top of the list. 7. Prepare and Practice Your Career Tips Practice your “personal pitch” to your family and friends. Create mock interview questions and review scenarios for each company you are interested in. Do more research, visit company websites and explore their cultures by watching videos, reviewing Facebook and LinkedIn. We hope these job seeker tips help you with landing your dream career when you attend any Career Events throughout the year!	2020-03-29T06:07:26Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370493818.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20200329045008-20200329075008-00264.warc.gz	en	0.949554	740	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-16", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b46ac218-e3af-4a8a-b79d-98be522d4795>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://bestcompaniesaz.com/job-seeker-tips-prepare-bestcompaniesaz-career-event/" }

Broadwell Book Gets Punk’d A funny thing happened to the title of Paula Broadwell’s book on the way to a Denver local news broadcast. It got punk’d. What happened was the Denver ABC affiliate was airing a story about Broadwell, which featured a graphic of the book cover to "All In," Paula Broadwell’s biography of General David Petraeus. Except the graphic a reporter grabbed from the Internet was of a doctored cover called "All Up In My Snatch." In the segment, the Photoshopped cover was aired, as reported on the website AmericaBlog.com. On Tuesday 7NEWS issued an apology on their website: "7NEWS sincerely apologizes for a mistake that we aired in our broadcast Monday, a mistake that has gone viral on the internet. "On 7NEWS at 5 p.m., the station reported on ex-CIA director David Petraeus’ relationship with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. "Broadwell earned a master’s degree at the University of Denver and had given a speech at an alumni event several weeks ago that may have provided insight into the early stages of their relationship. "During the broadcast, 7NEWS showed an image of Broadwell’s biography of Petraeus that is called, "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus." "However, when the 7NEWS reporter went on the Internet to get an image of the book cover, the reporter mistakenly grabbed a Photoshopped image that said, "All Up In My Snatch." (View image here.) "’It was a mistake,’ said KMGH-TV News Director Jeff Harris."

Review by Trini_Bwoi "Does GTA IV live up to it's hype? Not so much..." Grand Theft Auto IV. It has been anticipated for a long time. The hype surrounding this game was beyond extraordinary. This is the first installment of the GTA series on a new generation console, which unlocked possibilities in game play, graphics, and physics never before achievable in past GTA games. This review will touch on numerous aspects of GTA IV. Story - 4/10 The main character is Nikolai "Niko" Bellic, a European, who does not like to take crap from anyone. Niko comes to Liberty City for two reasons. 1, to leave wherever he comes from, and experience a glamorous life of riches falsely promised by his cousin Roman, and 2, to find an enemy he has been hunting down for 10 years, because he betrayed Niko's army unit, ruining Niko's life. You start out by trying to help his cousin out of some serious debts. This causes Niko to get involved with people, similar to whom he left his previous country to avoid. You later gets caught up killing the wrong people, landing Niko in worse crowds, doing missions for people, in exchange for money (Even though you may have a truck load), information on the guy who betrayed his army, and rarely, as illustrated in cut scenes, so his life, and others close, would be sparred. That is basically all the development for the main character, from start, to finish. Niko's goals from to beginning barely changes towards the ending of the game, which is pretty shallow. Rockstar went a long way making this game's story more realistic and believable then it's predecessors, but that fact doesn't make it any better. Graphics - 8/10 You can't compare other titles with GTA IV, graphic wise, because the size of the environment is immense. The detail of the surroundings is also fantastic, in certain aspects. The roads, vehicles, character models, and buildings all look magnificent, keeping in mind the scope of the environment. However, objects in the distance are blurry, both in and out off cut scenes. To somewhat of an extent, every block looks that same, with the tall buildings, but that's New York for you! (The city LC was is based on). The display is mostly more dark than bright. Sometimes it's so dark, you can't even make out what's on your screen. Everything considered, this game is beautiful. Physics - 10/10 A vastly improved portion of GTA IV, the physics are a selling point for this game. The physics are just mind blowing, mainly because of what the new engine applied used, Euphoria. Most interactions are unique, and will never be the same. The interactions with people are happening in real time, and aren't pre-scripted. Running over people has never been so pleasurable! Shooting people in various parts of their body and watching how they cripple has never been so fun! Jumping off a tall building, and watching Niko squat, is a lovely thing to witness! The same physics, obviously, apply to the main character. The driving physics have also been revamped, to be more realistic. The new driving, while being harder to control and master, are awesome, once you get used to them. You will enjoy the physics so much, you might start to scare yourself. Game Play - 6/10 Some parts shine, others fall short by a mile, being, riddled with bugs, too hard to control, or just plain annoying. First off, the cover system. Yes, having a cover system is better then none at all in the previous games, but it still is slightly bugged. You will occasionally find yourself just taking cover behind another object, when trying to get out of the cover system. The camera slightly jerks while you try to look at a wide angle in cover mode. Also, usually, the auto aim will target enemies far off in the distance, even though you are being shot by a guy right in front of you. The in car aiming is a spotlight addition, giving you full control of in-car aiming. Now onto the dreaded cell phone. Generally all your missions will be activated by a call from a contact. When it is equipped, and you are on foot, the only thing Niko can do is walk. Most of the time, when you complete a mission, 2 things happen simultaneously: You get a call to tell a contact about the outcomes, and you are being shot. If you don't want to miss any dialog in GTA IV by hanging the phone up to run, good luck dodging bullets while walking. Getting shot, being hit by a car, falling over, or crashing all make Niko hang up with phone, which will result in you missing something. Friends are very needy. Your 5 friends, or 5 girl friends, will always be on your back, wanting to hang out with you, which can get annoying. You can do various activities like bowling, darts, and pool, which are all extremely easy. Going eating, is essentially just driving someone here and back. There are only 6 shows each, in the comedy and cabaret clubs. It's best to just head over to a strip club, or a bar. Driving drunk is amusing! Sadly, it can only be done with a friend. Yes, you can turn off your phone, but this will also bring the story to a halt. The lack of things to do is appalling, when compared to previous GTAs. Think of everything fun that was in San Andreas. Those weren't included in GTA IV. No more mini games, like the Casino, dancing, burglar, ambulance, firetruck, pimping, low rider and vehicle activated. Vigilante is included, but there is no cash reward for doing them. There are no bicycles, planes and tanks. Customization has gone back to square one, with no car pimping, fat, stamina, muscle, weapon skill, sex appeal, tattoos and haircuts. You can change clothes, but the variety and quantity of clothing is lacking. There are absolutely no purchasable safe houses and assets. The reward for shooting all 200 hidden packages is very dissatisfying. Now, all that being said, there is hardly anything to spend money on in this game, except weapons.There are some good additions to the game play, such as taking taxis, paying bridge tolls, headlights, etc... but they don't make up for all the fun, time consuming things taken out. After you have beat GTA IV, you may find yourself bored of single player, if the physics don't keep you occupied. A very cool new feature, is the ability to let some people live or die, during the storyline missions. This gives you a feeling that you are in control, a sense that you can shape your own GTA IV destiny, and that you don't always have to do what you are told. Some targets may also be executed. Lastly, the missions. Rockstar's spur to make GTA IV more realistic then previous games affected the missions, greatly. There are hardly any fun, wacky missions. You will commonly find yourself chasing someone you can't kill until they reach their scripted destinations, watching over drug deals that always go wrong, or in a shoot out. The missions are really repetitive, for a sandbox game, which are supposed to be open ended. You will constantly find yourself doing the same things, with the same goals and outcomes, for the same reasons. Controls - 8/10 Yes, I'm giving controls it's own little section, because a lot has changed. If you are too used to the old controls, you won't like the new one. Luckily, you can always switch to classic controls. The downside of this is, the in car aiming will be a little clunky. The new control scheme for driving will take getting used to, with the trigger controls as acceleration and braking. The half pressing to differentiate aiming and shooting, in blind fire, wasn't such as wise choice on Rockstar's behalf. Anyways, to get the full, better experience, the new control scheme is good, but will take some time to adapt to. Sound - 7/10 The voice acting, while mainly low budget, was done superbly. The characters seem, more real, they way they talk to each other. Each mission has two sets of in car dialog, which is definitely something. The gun shots, same as usual. What really was upsetting was to radio. God, the choice of songs are horrible. There is everything, for everyone to listen to, but the songs are quite unknown. Rap and hip hop are dominant in the radio, just like how it is today, in the real world. If that's not your style, you could always listen to a horrible selection of the many other genres. Multi Player - 8/10 All around, it's good, and very entertaining, if you can access it without being the victim of very common bugs, such as your level not saving, or always being disconnected. The modes are all fun, and very GTA-like. There is something for everyone to do, and enjoy. Within the 15 modes are action packed, endlessly fun game play. There is everything from racing, to raiding drug deals. Multi player is an aspect of GTA IV that won't get boring for a while. It is a very rare occurrence, should you have a game with 10 or more players, though. Replay-Ability - 5/10 After you complete the story line, there is nothing to do. You can strive to achieve 100% but the process is more tedious then fun. You can definitely reply the game, to make different choices as to how to complete missions, who you decide to kill or walk, and hear the alternate dialogs in each mission. In the end, multi player will be the only thing you end up playing, in GTA IV. If you are a die hard GTA fan, or just a casual gamer, you should still buy it. The physics are a good enough reason to play GTA IV. If you aren't an online player, you should faintly consider renting it. You can complete the story line in a minimum of 20 hours. Overall, GTA IV is great, but it undeniably didn't live up to the pre-release hype. The graphics and physics are a step up from earlier GTA games, but the amount of things you can do is a big step down, not to mention some of the annoying features in the game play.

NLCS Notebook: Cubs vs. Dodgers Los Angeles wins the series, 3-1. Kiké Hernandez had just become the 10th player to hit three homers in a postseason game to lead the Dodgers' 16-hit attack in a 10-1 victory that clinched the club's first National League pennant in 29 years. He had been drenched in champagne and beer by his teammates, interviewed on and off camera. But the Game 5 hero still wasn't ready to celebrate, not until after he'd shared the high point of his career with his dad. "The No. 1 thing for me, I just wanted the game to be over so I could give my dad a big old hug," Hernandez said. "I didn't care about anything else." His dad, Enrique, Sr., who has fought multiple myeloma cancer, undergone a bone marrow transplant last year and his now in remission, had waited patiently in the visitors' family area at Wrigley Field while his son did multiple interviews. He couldn't have been happier. “Before the game, he told me ‘Papa, I feel very well today,” Enrique told Yahoo! Sports. “I feel good about my swing. I'm going to hit well.” When he finally allowed himself a beer and a moment to reflect, Hernandez was also proud he had been able to give his people in Puerto Rico a moment of respite from their struggles as they recover from the hurricane that devastated the island. “You never dream of hitting three home runs in a game,” he said. “It means the world to me to give the people of Puerto Rico something to cheer for, even if it's for three or four hours or however long this game lasted." National League Championship Series, Game 5 Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Oct. 19, 2017 Kershaw tries again It's always awkward during postseason play for the next day's pitcher to answer questions about his preparation at the daily pre-game press conference when that potential start comes with the “if necessary” caveat and the best-case scenario means that he doesn't pitch at all the next day. So Clayton Kershaw tried his best to explain the mindset for a pitcher in that situation. “I have to expect to pitch and then be surprised when we win,” he said before Game 4. “It's a tough spot because, obviously, I believe in our team and I believe that we can win (game 4). But I can't let myself mentally go there.” Turned out, the Dodgers didn't sweep the series and Kershaw would get his chance to help the Dodgers secure their first World Series berth in 29 years. The left-hander has the lowest career earned run average (2.36) among active pitchers, seven consecutive All-Star Game appearances and three Cy Young Awards, but the World Series has eluded him despite being part of three previous teams that reached the NLCS. He was about seven months old the last time the Dodgers won the pennant in 1988. “I think we're in a pretty good spot,” manager Dave Roberts said. “We have our No. 1 pitcher going tomorrow.” Not only was ace starter Clayton Kershaw relatively untaxed for the third week of October and pitching Game 5 on four days' rest, but set-up man Brandon Morrow and closer Kenley Jansen were both held out of the Dodgers' loss and ready to pitch multiple innings, If necessary, for the Dodgers in Game 5. Despite the loss and a fifth-inning exit for starter Alex Wood, the Dodgers' bullpen has held the Cubs scoreless in the series. The ninth-inning single Tony Cingrani surrendered was just Chicago's third hit off the Los Angeles relief corps. Manager Dave Roberts has used multiple relievers and taken advantage of match-ups. A combination of Ross Stripling, Tony Watson, Kenta Maeda, Cingrani and Josh Fields kept the Dodgers in Game 4 until the end. Quintana looking to send series back to L.A. Facing another potential elimination game, the Cubs will turn to José Quintana in Game 5. Quintana started the first game of the NLCS, but was tagged with the loss. In three postseason games (two starts), Quintana carries a 1.59 ERA in 11 1/3 innings pitched. He has struck out 11, while allowing opponents to hit just .132. “Q's been great,” manager Joe Maddon said after Game 4. “He's ready to play all the time. Q's just good stuff. The stuff's really been spiking in a positive direction, velocity has been up, curveball has been better. I know one thing, he'll be ready to pitch tomorrow night.” Báez powers Cubs to #FlytheW Javier Báez was 0-for-20 in the 2017 postseason prior to Game 4. With the Cubs on the verge of being swept by the Dodgers in the NLCS, Báez delivered. He smacked two home runs to pace the Cubs' offense as they forced a Game 5 with a 3-2 win. For Báez, it was his second-ever multi-home run game and first since since Aug. 7, 2014 at Colorado. Maybe Báez just saves his best for potential elimination games, as four of his five postseason home runs have come in those games. “I've been trying to get a base hit so hard,” Báez said after the game. “Tonight I just said to myself not to try too much, and I didn't, and there you have it. I had two good contacts and win the game by one run.” Today's Turner stat Justin Turner, who went 2-for-2 with a homer and two walks in Game 5, now has the highest on-base average in postseason history among players with at least 100 at-bats, according to statistician extraordinaire Ryan Spaeder. Turner's .495 is ahead of both Lou Gehrig (.483) and Babe Ruth (.470). He has five hits and five walks in 18 plate appearances this series and two of those hits were home runs. The 32-year-old Turner has been in the majors for nine seasons, but he wasn't a regular until after joining the Dodgers in 2014 and only this season made his first all-star team. The work ethic that got him this far works wonders in the clubhouse, as well. “I think one of the things is he can connect with a lot of guys because he's done a lot of different things,” Clayton Kershaw said. “He's been a utility player. He's been released, non-tendered, all that stuff. So he's had to really fight for where he's come from, so he can really relate to now he's a superstar.” National League Championship Series, Game 4 Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Oct. 18, 2017 At 26, Chris Taylor wasn't even considered one of the Dodgers' top prospects in late March when he was sent out to Triple-A Oklahoma City near the end of spring training. Now, entering Game 4, he is the catalyst of a club on the verge of reaching the World Series. A fixture at the top of the lineup after coming on by storm during the regular season and batting .288 with 21 home runs and 72 RBIs, Taylor has been maybe more valuable due to his versatility in the field. He played left field, center field, second, third and shortstop not this season but just in the six postseason games the Dodgers have played – and won – the last couple weeks. He hit a 444-foot home run and added an RBI triple for the Dodgers in Game 3, the home run being the longest measured by Statcast technology this postseason. In the Dodgers' first six postseason gamer, Taylor was hitting .280 with a .379 on-base average, a double, triple and two homers. He'd scored six runs and batted .375 with runners in scoring position. If this offense firepower sounds incredible for a 6-foot-1 utility player who doesn't crack 200 pounds and had hit just one home run in 120 major league games before this year, it's because it is. Taylor was at a crossroads in his career this offseason when he decided to make a mid-career swing change, introducing a leg kick and adjusting his hand positioning in an effort to drive the ball more. “I really didn't know what to expect. I was coming in, I had to feel uncomfortable. That was the biggest thing. I knew I had to kind of make that drastic change right away and get out of my comfort zone,” Taylor said after his Game 3 outburst. “I always have confidence in my ability, and obviously I was hoping it would come.” That the swing adjustments worked doesn't seem like a sufficient explanation for Taylor's success this season, but it's a start. It's testament to the Dodgers' depth, execution and efficiency that Alex Wood could go 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA and not be needed in the postseason until NLCS Game 4. That's how well Los Angeles has pitched and played defense in sweeping the Diamondbacks and jumping out to a commanding 3-0 lead in the championship series. That also makes Wood's first postseason start (he relieved in NLCS Game 4 last year) a potential pennant-clinching game for the Dodgers. Although the 26-year-old left-hander wasn't quite as sharp in the second half as he was in the first when he went 10-0 with a 1.67 to make the NL All-Star team, Wood told the media he's ready and unconcerned about the three-week layoff between starts. "I feel good with where I'm at," Wood said. "Getting that time off, too, it's late in the year. So how your body feels throughout the year, and that part of it is probably a little more of an advantage getting your legs back underneath you." Wood told reporters he thought the two simulated games he's recently pitched against regular hitters was a good way to remain ready. “Obviously, it's a little bit different getting in the game scenario and (in terms of) your endurance.” Play it again Jake! Jake Arrieta is probably the pitcher most associated with the Cubs' renaissance and first World Series championship since 1908 last season. Traded by the Orioles to the Cubs in 2013, the right-hander from Texas had a strong 2014 then won the Cy Young Award in 2015 when he was 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA over 229 innings. He was 18-10 with a 3.10 in 2016, earning his first trip to the All-Star Game and leading the franchise to its curse-breaking World Series win. So with the knowledge that he will become a free agent after the season and might not be coming back, the tall 31-year-old wasn't in the mood to entertain the possibility his Game 4 start would be his last at Wrigley Field. “Hopefully we come out ready, as I know we will, and I get another shot,” he told the media. “… We've been pretty good for an extended period of time, being able to win multiple games in a row, and that's exactly what we intend to do.” National League Championship Series, Game 3 Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Oct. 17, 2017 Long Beach, Calif.-born Justin Turner knew exactly where he was when Kirk Gibson limped to home plate and hit his dramatic walk-off home run against A's closer Dennis Eckersley in the 1988 World Series exactly 29 years ago to the day before he hit his own postseason walk-off home run in Game 1 of the 2017 NLCS on Sunday night. “One of my earliest baseball memories was being at my grandma's house and watching that game in '88 and seeing Gibby hit that homer,” said Turner, who was just about to turn 4 at the time. “So, yeah, it feels pretty cool. I thought about doing the fist-pump around the bases, but we'll wait until we get to the World Series for that, hopefully.” Turner's three-run home run to center with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, sent delirious Dodgers fans happily into the night with a 4-1 win. He was the first Dodgers player to hit a walk-off in postseason play since Gibson's legendary blast. Turner, who drove in all four Dodgers runs, having already delivered a game-tying single in the fifth inning, is becoming a postseason legend himself. The 32-year-old third baseman now has a .377 batting average with 22 RBIs in postseason play and is 13 for 18 with runners in scoring position (.722), including 6 for 8 this year. Among players with at least 90 postseason plate appearances, only Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth (both 1.214) have a higher OPS than Turner's 1.115. Yu Darvish is no longer the same pitcher he was with the Rangers and the early part of his tenure with the Dodgers following the July 31 trade. The 31-year-old right-hander from Japan was 6-9 with a 4.01 in 22 starts for the Rangers and 2-5 with a 5.34 ERA in his first six starts with the Dodgers before he and the club decided to try some adjustments. They've adjusted his arm angle to close to where it was before his Tommy John surgery simplified his repertoire, dumping his split-finger and change-ups, to focus more on his devastating slider. “I think the biggest difference is that the pitch that I use I throw for strikes,” Darvis said through an interpreter on Monday. “That's my main priority right now, I think that's what I'm doing well compared to what I was doing before, throwing those pitches for strikes.” During his final three regular-season starts, Darvish was 2-0, allowing just one run on nine hits and a walk and brought his ERA down from 4.08 to 3.86 for the season. In the NLDS clincher over Arizona, he allowed just a run on two hits over five innings. Manager Dave Roberts praised Darvish for buying into the adjustments and putting in the time and effort to make them work. “It's a lot to take in. But he's just so athletic, he's so intelligent, and he competes. So now you take the information part and you take kind of the biomechanics part and just working on his bullpens and trying to have success in a major league game, which is tough. But he's been really diligent about trying to figure it out." Hendricks takes the ball in Game 3 With 2017 being just his fourth season in the majors, Kyle Hendricks seems like a veteran when it comes to postseason pitching. He made two NLDS starts –Games 1 and 5 – and went 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA in 11 innings pitched. Hendricks struck out 13, compared to just four walks. The right-hander from Newport Beach, Calif., – about an hour from Dodger Stadium – is no stranger to the Dodgers. In last year's NLCS, Hendricks started the clinching Game 6, throwing 7 1/3 shutout innings as he earned the victory. “He's had success against these guys in the past, especially in this building,” manager Joe Maddon said. “So I feel really good about it.” Chicago in need of offense As Chicago returns back home for Game 3, the Cubs will be looking for an offensive jolt, as the club has scored just three runs in two games. The help could very well come from centerfielder Albert Almora. The 23-year old led all Cubs with a .364 average at Wrigley Field this season. First baseman Anthony Rizzo also sports a .436 on-base percentage at the Friendly Confines. National League Championship Series, Game 2 Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Oct. 15, 2017 Middle of the action Charlie Culberson has appeared in 197 regular season games and another four in postseason play over five seasons but the journeyman infielder hadn't been in the Dodgers' lineup for two weeks when he got the call on Friday night that he would be starting at NLCS Game 1 in place of shortstop Corey Seager, who was left off the roster when his lower back didn't respond sufficiently to treatment. The 28-year-old was the 51st overall draft pick in 2007 when he was coming out of Calhoun (Ga.) High School but played most of his baseball this summer for Triple-A Oklahoma City before joining the Dodgers in September. But in Game 1 he batted eighth and contributed a game-tying sacrifice fly in the fifth inning and a seventh inning double after which he would score in Game 1's most controversial play. Racing to score from second on Justin Turner's single, Culberson missed home on his slide but the umpires ruled that catcher Willson Contreras had blocked the plate. Man of the moment Yasiel Puig, who is not the type of player who would shrink from the moment, delivered big for the Dodgers in Game 1. The Wild Horse doubled in a run in the fifth inning, homered leading off the seventh, kissed his bat, wagged his tongue and delighted the crowd at Dodger Stadium. His teammates are enjoying the show. Cody Bellinger, a finalist for the 2017 Players Choice Award as the NL Outstanding Rookie, was caught on camera exchanging playful tongue wags with his teammate. “He's having fun out there and we're all feeding off him,” closer Kenley Jansen told USA Today. “The fact is that he plays hard, plays with passion, energy, and we love him.” The Cuban-born slugger is batting .467 in the postseason. The Dodgers' pen The Cubs' final 18 batters went down in order following Albert Almora's two-run homer in the fourth inning. Clayton Kershaw pitched through the fifth then the bullpen tag-team of Tony Cingrani, Kenta Maeda, Brandon Morrow, Tony Watson and Kenley Jansen was perfect from there. Maeda, who has moved to the bullpen for the postseason, got the win after a thrifty five-pitch, three-out performance. “The credit goes to Kenta as far as buying in and understanding that every out in the postseason is important,” manager Dave Roberts said. “So when he gets his opportunity, he's been light's out.” Lester is ready Veteran left-hander Jon Lester was given the Game 2 assignment for the Cubs, the 21st postseason start of his 12-year career. He wasn't concerned about being able to bounce back after throwing 55 pitches Tuesday in Game 4 of the Division Series. Lester, 33, retired the first 10 batters he faced and allowed just one hit over 3 2/3 innings in his first relief appearance since Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. “I'm not worried about it. It's kind of just work in between (starts),” he said. “Just got to do it (throw) in the game as opposed to on the side. So I don't think it's a problem. This time of year you have to adjust and figure it out.” Words of wisdom from a man who has three World Series rings. National League Championship Series, Game 1 Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Oct. 14, 2017 Setting the stage Get ready for Cubs-Dodgers, Part II. The teams competed in the NLCS last season, as well, with the Cubs advancing in six games. This season has a little different feel, though. The Dodgers enter with the best record in baseball (104-58), while last season the Cubs were tops in the regular season. The two teams met six times during the regular season, with Los Angeles taking four of six, including a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium. Game 1 gets underway from Chavez Ravine on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, while Game 2 is set for Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The series will shift to Chicago and Wrigley Field for Game 3 on Tuesday, with Game 4 on Wednesday. If necessary, Game 5 would be Thursday, while Games 6 and 7 would be back in Los Angeles, on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22, respectively. The Dodgers pitching staff was fierce at home in 2017, carrying the major's lowest home ERA at 3.01, while the team went 57-24 at Dodger Stadium. The Wild Horse Factor Can Cubs pitching corral the Wild Horse? One way or another, Yasiel Puig will be an important factor in the NLCS. The sometimes enigmatic but always entertaining Cuban-born slugger was in rare form in the Dodgers' Division Series victory over the Diamondbacks. For the series, Puig was 5-for-11 (.455) with two walks, just one strikeout and four RBIs. He also flipped his bat on a single to center and twice licked his bat. The first time was just after fouling off a fastball from Taijuan Walker in the first inning of Game 4 and he followed that with a run-scoring double. "They throw me a lot of fastballs," Puig said. "A lot of sliders. I fight the best I can, and all the time I hit a foul ball, I thought it was my bat, and the next pitch, hit a double. That's good. I'm going to keep doing that." At 26, Puig batted. 263 with a career-high 28 homers and moved up to the fifth spot in manager Dave Roberts' order. "This season I played the best I can with my teammates," Puig said. "They helped a lot, my manager, and that's the reason I played better this year.” Daring to dream Clayton Kershaw has packed an awful lot into his first 10 seasons with the Dodgers. The 29-year-old left-hander has won three Cy Young Awards and appeared in seven All-Star Games. He's had an NL-best earned run average four times, while leading the league in wins and strikeouts three times each. He's also been on Dodgers teams that have reached the NLCS four times. But the 6-foot-4 Texan still hasn't pitched in a World Series. While enjoying the champagne celebration with his family in the visitors' clubhouse in Arizona, Kershaw dared let his mind go there. “This was a lot of fun,” Kershaw told the Los Angeles Times. “The next one, I've never done it before. I bet it's going to be bigger. And then the next one — I might not sleep for 10 days after that.” Kershaw, who took the loss in Game 6 of the 2016 NLCS, came back to lead the NL in wins (18), ERA (2.31) and strikeout-to-walk ration (6.73) this season. He won his Division Series start in Game 1, allowing four runs on five hits with three walks over 6 1/3 innings while striking out seven. It was Kershaw's only start of the postseason and now he will have had seven days' rest for his NLCS Game 1 start on Saturday. “No one wants it more than he does, and no one is going to compete more,” Roberts said. “But I think to have the guys in the ‘pen, who I feel very confident in going to, lends itself to not pushing him.” Dodgers co-owner Earvin Magic Johnson knows a little bit about the excitement of sports-crazy Los Angeles during the playoffs, having been there 13 times during his Hall-of-Fame career with the Lakers, so he's proud of his team and happy they're going to experience that same feeling he felt every spring in the 1980s. "But I can't hit and pitch or play defense. I sit back and watch these guys do it, and they're doing a wonderful job,” Johnson told ESPN. “It's their turn. I've had my moment … The town is on fire right now with the Dodgers." Magic, of course, also knows that winning a championship is the best feeling of all. "I want a World Series for the Dodgers so bad,” said Johnson, who played on five NBA championship teams. “I want it for the players. Clayton Kershaw, Adrian Gonzalez. Man, I want it for them. I want it for the fans, who have waited so long. I want it for Dave [Roberts], he's done such a good job," Johnson said. "I want that World Series for them all so badly."

I am Nathalie, graphic designer and illustrator of 28 years old. Since i was a teenager, i never really asked myself many questions concerning what to do with my career, as it was pretty clear to me I wanted to work in an environment related to art and design. I always have been fascinated with watercolors and the way colors flow into each other and merge into the paper. Following this approach, i try if it is appropriate to inject this ‘organic’, textured touch in the projects i am working on. I enjoyed studying in Toulouse developing my style and experiment within various fields like branding, editorial, illustration and photography. The internship i ran at Albin Michel Jeunesse, a famous publishing house in Paris, made my heart beat for editorial and book design. After graduating from a master’s degree in communication and design in 2009, I started my professional career as a graphic designer in the Netherlands, where i worked in different advertising, publishing and architecture companies. During those years, the projects related to branding and editorial were the ones i enjoyed most. For me, printed materials will always have something more than a nice design on a screen. Two years ago, I took the step of becoming freelance and started expanding my professional experience working with different local clients as well as big international companies. In summer 2014, I decided to move to Barcelona, one of the cities with the most creative impulse in the world, to start a new professional challenge and discover a new culture and lifestyle. If you would like to talk about a project, give some feedback about my work or just say hello, please write to email@example.com	2017-11-20T13:46:10Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806066.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120130647-20171120150647-00434.warc.gz	en	0.967741	350	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-47", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:2ab50328-b0e2-4aff-a49d-c9857fca97f7>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://studiokalumi.wordpress.com/about/" }

Westword (Difference between revisions) From The Giant: The Definitive Obey Giant Site (New page: From the Denver [http://www.westword.com/2008-09-04/news/shepard-fairey-and-robert-indiana-cause-trouble-at-the-dnc ''Westword'', September 4, 2008]: '''Shepard Fairey and Robert Indiana...) Revision as of 10:44, 4 September 2008 From the Denver Westword, September 4, 2008: Shepard Fairey and Robert Indiana cause trouble at the DNC Published on September 04, 2008 Police arrested 154 people in Denver last week, most of whom were involved in protests of one sort or another. Buried in this list is the name Frank S. Fairey, which contemporary art fans will recognize as the birth name of one of the most famous street artists in the world: Shepard Fairey. He was in town as part of the Manifest Hope gallery show featuring art inspired by Barack Obama, and Fairey's multi-toned poster of Obama's face, coupled with words like "HOPE" and "PROGRESS," have become ubiquitous icons of the campaign, appearing on billboards, T-shirts, hats and magazines. On August 25, Fairey took a break from installing the gallery show to hang posters around downtown Denver, wheat-pasting them to the sides of buildings. Denver artist Scot Lefavor and a small crew of filmmakers making a documentary on Fairey went along. But when they got to an alleyway near 16th Avenue and Sherman Street around midnight, they saw a line of officers in full riot gear running toward them. In a video interview with the website www.imeem.com, Fairey says that as the group tried to exit the other end of the alley, the police drew their guns. "Get on the fucking ground or we're going to kick you in the fucking head!" Fairey quotes them as saying. The artists were thrown down, handcuffed and arrested, charged with "interference and posting unauthorized posters." Though it was the fourteenth such arrest for Fairey, who got his start in the early 1990s with the Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, the experience ranks as one of the most unusual. Fairey and company spent seventeen hours in jail, first at the infamous "Gitmo on the Platte" warehouse the city set up for DNC protesters; also in the house were about 100 anarchists whom police had pepper-sprayed and arrested earlier that evening. "We had some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and played some paper football and hung out with anarchists all night," says Lefavor. But Fairey isn't ready to quit postering. "It would take me having potential jail time to quit postering, and that's not likely to happen," he says. Unless, of course, he breaks his six months of unsupervised probation by getting caught in Denver again. And Fairey wasn't the only artist to get caught in the tentacles of DNC security. The week before the convention, Alan Jones, owner of high-end art-installation company Ship Art Denver, got an exciting rush job to deliver sculptor Robert Indiana's "HOPE" — a remake of his 1976 pop icon "LOVE" piece in Philadelphia's JFK plaza — to the sidewalk in front of the Pepsi Center. But when Jones went to the stadium to take photos of the site, he was quickly grabbed by security and questioned for nearly an hour. Nevertheless, Jones isn't bitter, especially since the sculpture turned out to be a hit. "I think the beauty of the piece is that Indiana tweaked 'LOVE' just enough to define this new generation," he says. The message for the new era? It's possible to go from Love to Hope — but first you have to go through security.	2017-02-19T14:13:21Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501169776.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104609-00234-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.971454	819	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-09", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:0cdbf778-cf9e-4af8-8906-7a1e306688c9>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Westword&diff=prev&oldid=15457" }
Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Sport Robert Troy TD has said that the Olympic Council of Ireland must bring forward the date of an Extraordinary General Meeting and ensure that the new executive can lead the organisation, with the full confidence of the membership, through these highly turbulent times. Deputy Troy made the comments after media reports suggested that over €750,000 has been spent to date by the organisation in dealing with the issues since the Rio 2016 Games. “Renewed public confidence is absolutely needed in the OCI, and its management. At present, the public do not believe that the organisation is in a position to steer itself through the turmoil that it has been embroiled in.” “Clearly there is a need for a rejuvenated executive with four of the original 13 members having resigned in the wake of the scandal. The EGM must be brought forward and ensure that a newly elected executive has the support of the membership to deal with the challenges that lie ahead,” added Deputy Troy. “€750,000 is an enormous sum of money for the OCI to be expending. At a time when the funding provided to Irish athletes is considered low by international standards, every effort must be made to conclude the inquiry and bring about a renewal of the Olympic movement in Ireland to ensure the focus in on our athletes.” “I raised serious concerns surrounding the non-statutory nature of the Government inquiry when it was first established. It was always apparent that the inquiry would struggle to get to the bottom of this controversy while it was on a non-statutory footing. The initial Government inquiry was meant to report within 10 weeks, but this deadline has now passed.” “The OCI investigation was meant to feed into the Government inquiry into this issue. That plan has now been put on hold entirely and this will have enormous repercussions for the Government led inquiry.” “Ministers Shane Ross and Patrick O’Donovan need to urgently outline when their inquiry will report, and they must ensure that the tight timeline which was agreed to by all parties at the commencement of the inquiries will be adhered to,” concluded Troy.	2017-05-24T00:30:06Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607726.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524001106-20170524021106-00523.warc.gz	en	0.974357	449	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:cd08d346-8838-4a28-9e98-a6a747461626>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.fiannafail.ie/oci-must-bring-forward-its-egm-troy/" }
MOBILE, Ala. -- Mobile police chased a suspected gas station robber late Friday night, arresting him after he crashed his pickup truck into a tree on Moffett Road, authorities said today. Christopher Riley Casey, 39, was charged with first-degree robbery. Police spokesman Officer Ron Wallace said a man walked into the GB Southern Oil gas station at 1210 Schillinger Road just after 9 p.m. He stuck his hand in his jacket, Wallace said, and told a cashier he had a gun. When the robber demanded money, the cashier complied and the robber fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a red Ford F-150 Wallace said Mobile County sheriff's deputies spotted the truck at 11:45 p.m. on Schillinger Road, and deputies and police officers chased the truck until its driver crashed into a tree on the side of Moffett Road near Moffett Court. Casey was taken into custody and transported to the University of South Alabama Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries, Wallace said. He was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail today, where he remained without bail.	2014-11-23T04:39:27Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400379083.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123259-00155-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.976506	231	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-49", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:1f1443a4-c541-4b38-99c7-24395dcadfae>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://blog.al.com/live/2010/01/police_arrest_robber_after_cha.html" }

Blizzard gave Overwatch players an incredible tool for making their own fun in the Overwatch Workshop, which lets 'power users' (as lead designer Jeff Kaplan calls them) create complex scripts that enable custom modes and even hero tweaks. Even though the Overwatch Workshop is only available on the PC's Public Test Region servers at the moment, the community has already displayed some incredible creativity in devising clever scripts and entirely new modes. If you can think it, you can probably script it, and we've already seen gems like a working Portal gun, Torbjorn Golf, and even helpful practice rooms that help you train your aiming and grenade-lobbing skills. In my mind, though, the best Overwatch Workshop modes aren't just standalone novelties or silly sights like a Bastion shooting homing Torbjorns that heat-seek their targets. They're distinct, self-contained ways to play Blizzard's shooter, taking the familiar features of Overwatch - iconic heroes, great maps, good ol' competition - and reshaping them into something entirely unique. If you're willing to poke around the Overwatch PTR, you should definitely give these modes a try if you see them in the Custom Games list. Or, if you've got enough people to play with you, you can simply import the Overwatch Workshop codes you'll find here to instantly use the scripts for yourself. With any luck, they'll all make their way to the larger Overwatch populace whenever the Overwatch Workshop launches in full. Spies vs Mercs Created by: Chehtan Spies vs Mercs is a tribute to the cult-classic multiplayer mode of the same name from Splinter Cell series, an asymmetrical battle between well-armed soldiers and the stealthy infiltrators trying to slip past them in the shadows. In Overwatch terms, that translates to some combination of Soldier: 76, Baptiste, Windowmaker, and Ashe teaming up against a team of sneaky Sombras, as the Spies attempt to hack objectives strewn around the map while the Mercs need to defend them and eliminate any Sombra on sight. This excellent Overwatch Workshop mode even has some new abilities for each faction, like proximity stun mines and plantable cameras for the Mercs and smoke grenades for the Spies. Enhanced Ana Paintball Created by: Jinko Ana Paintball is a staple of the Overwatch Custom Games browser, and Jinko's Enhanced Ana Paintball simply iterates on the great core idea. Ana, everyone's favorite team mom/healing sniper, is the only selectable character in this one-shot-kill deathmatch mode. To encourage fast play rather than camping, you'll need to quickscope or hipfire your sniper rifle, as staying scoped for too long will stun you (meaning you're as good as dead). If you aren't already an Ana pro, this map will make you one - especially given the fact that you can only score the game-winning kill with a well-timed sleep dart. Jinko is clearly still hard at work on Enhanced Ana Paintball, creating new map layouts with jump pads, constantly refining the scripts, and ironing out any pesky bugs, so be sure to check out this mode's dedicated Discord channel to see which version is the latest. Created by: Cenlus Parkour maps are all the rage with Fortnite Creative mode, so why can't Overwatch get in on the fun? This exceptionally well-designed parkour map set in Havana has 10 increasingly difficult checkpoints to strive for, but the kicker is that each successful run unlocks a new character with a completely different style of movement. You'll constantly need to relearn how to conquer each checkpoint, as you nimbly avoid the giant red death zones littered around the map. If you get stuck, watching one of your fellow Traceurs will surely lead to a 'Eureka' moment where you see the path forward and leap your way to victory (or at least the next checkpoint). McCree's Hot Potato Created by: Kevlar There's an inherent intensity to the game of Hot Potato, because no matter who dies, you're all getting burned. McCree's Hot Potato has everyone playing as the suave gunslinger, passing around a burning debuff that can kill you in no time flat. To save your skin from getting fatally singed, you can get rid of the Hot Potato by hitting someone else with a bullet or a punch; the last McCree standing gets a point. There's some strategy amidst the joyous chaos of passing the Potato around, as you should try to play ring-around-the-rosey and avoid line-of-sight with your opponents who are desperately trying to pass on their fiery curse. Two Heroes at Once Created by: Hawaiian_spawn It's amazing how you can start seeing Overwatch characters differently when you start combining their ability loadouts into one package. The hectic Two Heroes at Once mode lets you choose two heroes and swap between them on a short cooldown, which makes for some absurd combos. Leap into a group of enemies as Winston, then switch to Reaper for a killer Death Blossom ultimate! Pick McCree and Mei to instantly stun an enemy or go invincible on demand! Creator Hawaiian_spawn even programmed in some special touches, like hacker extraordinaire Sombra being able to see who others have selected as their secondary hero (and hopefully plan accordingly). Ashe's Highest Noon V2.0 Created by: Unknown Apologies to the creator on this one - I dipped into a round of Ashe's Highest Noon and had myself a great time before the server suddenly closed and I couldn't see the author credits. This deathmatch mode makes everyone Ashe, and you'll need to swiftly take to the skies using her Coach Gun (now on a half-second timer) to avoid the damaging floor. It's a frenetic ballet of exchanging bullets in midair, as you balance between firing at your opponents and keeping yourself safely afloat in the lower gravity. Sharpshooters will have a blast with this one, and I hope the creator keeps working on it so I can give proper credit where it's due.

Officers are the leaders of the military. As of 2012, around 17 percent of the U.S. military was composed of officers. However, unless you have a college degree or a special skill, most recruits join the military as enlisted personnel. That said, it is possible for a talented and motivated enlisted service member to become an officer, as all branches of the armed forces have officer commissioning programs. 1. Talk to your Officer Selection Officer or equivalent position about becoming an officer. The OSO is knowledgeable about all of the paths to an officer's commission available to enlisted personnel, and will discuss your options with you. 2. Decide what officer commissioning program is best for you and apply for the program. If you already have a bachelor's degree, in most cases you can apply directly to Officer Candidate School, or OCS. If you do not have a bachelor's degree, completing a branch-specific officer commissioning program is required before applying to OCS. For example, one program commonly used by Marines to move from enlisted to officer is the Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Education Program, or MECEP. MECEP gives active-duty Enlisted Marines the chance to attend college full time still keeping active-duty status and pay. Other branches of the service have similar programs. 3. Enroll in and complete OCS. OCS is the equivalent to basic training for officers, and lasts 10 to 17 weeks. Classes include military history, strategy and tactics, physical fitness and management and leadership skills. 4. Accept your officer's commission. You are now a full-fledged member of the Officer Corps with all of the attendant rights and responsibilities. - Unless you already have a bachelor's degree, it is generally a good idea to put in two years of enlisted service before applying to an officer commissioning program. - Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images	2017-12-14T02:34:35Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948537139.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214020144-20171214040144-00358.warc.gz	en	0.957855	384	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-51", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:1778f40a-dba8-49ca-b55a-7a866294301d>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://work.chron.com/become-officer-after-being-enlisted-12759.html" }
More gems from Francis’ new book… “The Communists are the Christians”, Refusing Communion to Adulterers is “Pharisaical”, “No War is Just”, and more! When it rains, it pours. Ladies and gentlemen, “Pope” Francis has struck again, and when he makes a mess, it’s a big one: As we reported in a separate post already, a whopping interview book of 423 pages is about to hit the shelves in France, entitled Pape François: Politique et Société (“Pope Francis: Politics and Society”). The work is an “unedited dialogue” between the French agnostic Dominique Wolton and the most talkative Jesuit on the planet, Jorge Bergoglio.… READ MORE “Francis Uncensored: “Communists are Christians”, Refusing Communion to Adulterers is “Pharisaical”, and “No War is Just””	2019-03-19T08:43:33Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912201922.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20190319073140-20190319095140-00552.warc.gz	en	0.875237	220	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b7fc0463-dfba-425a-9b15-9e01c6c2ed08>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://novusordowatch.org/2017/09/01/" }

Details of the contract have not yet been released, but the addition of Compton — who met with the team over a week ago — gives the Titans an experienced inside linebacker to add to the mix after Avery Williamson’s departure last month. Compton came in to the league as an undersized prospect out of Nebraska at just under 6’-1” tall and 230 pounds, going undrafted in 2013 before catching on as a UDFA in Washington. While his size held him back, his movement skills were what gave him a chance in the league. His pro day testing results from Nebraska featured a 4.54 second 40 time, a 6.86 second 3 cone, and a 4.20 second short shuttle, all excellent for an inside linebacker. All of those times would’ve ranked top 5 in the 2018 inside linebacker class at the combine. After spending 2013 on the Redskins practice squad, Compton stuck on the 53-man roster in 2014 as a backup linebacker/special teamer. He ended up getting 5 starts that season, filling in for an injured Perry Riley. The next season he returned again as a reserve initially before his play as an injury fill in — this time for Keenan Robinson, another ILB the Titans talked to in free agency — earned him the full time starting role. “I think Will Compton has cemented a role as a starter on this football team based on his play, yes,” Coach Jay Gruden said Thursday. “Keenan is a good football player,” Gruden said of the move. “When he gets healthy, we’ll find a spot for him also. But Compton is playing outstanding.” He would go on to start the final 10 regular season games and Washington’s 35-18 loss in the first round of the playoffs that year, accumulating 93 total tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception. In 2016, Compton entered the year as the full-time starter and put together the best year of his career. He finished with 103 total tackles, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble while serving as a defensive captain for the Redskins. The Redskins brought him back as a restricted free agent for the 2017 season, but also added Zach Brown creating more competition at inside linebacker for Compton and fellow 2016 starter Mason Foster. After a camp battle, Foster and Brown began the season as the starters with Compton settling for a reserve role. When Foster went on IR with a separated shoulder, Compton stepped back in as a starter, but lasted just 2 games before a Lisfranc sprain in his foot put him on IR as well. Compton is described by one Redskins writer as “solid but not spectacular” and that’s the general feeling you get from reading about his time in Washington. His PFF scores from the three seasons where he saw significant snaps (2014-2016) were 44.2, 35.2, and 46.2 so they were not fans of his work. Among their detractions from his game they listed too many missed tackles as an issue, which is something that seems to be a common refrain with him. On the plus side with Compton is that he should be an upgrade from Avery Williamson in coverage. Nobody is going to confuse him for Luke Kuechly, but he’s more fluid in space than what we are used to seeing here. He is also known to be a smart player, good at getting the defense aligned correctly pre-snap and knowing his responsibilities. He fits the identity of the type of people Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel are looking to add as Titans. His leadership skills are on display in the video below as he challenges Su’a Cravens’ effort during practice. Will Compton called out his work ethic and Su’a didn’t do nothing. He backed down. He caved. Enjoy Broncos.— 70 (@karl_diesel) March 29, 2018 When you look at Compton in light of the recent signings of guards Kevin Pamphile and Xavier Su’a-Filo, you can start to see what Jon Robinson may be doing here. He’s filling the roster holes with players who have starting experience and can offer a floor for the position heading in to 2018. Nobody is going to be doing backflips if any of these guys are full-time starters next year, but they won’t kill you if they have to play. Like Pamphile, Compton’s deal is just for one year, meaning he’s essentially guaranteed nothing once camp starts so there is very little risk. It also gives the team additional flexibility in the draft as they know they don’t have to add an immediate starter at these spots. If they head in to 2018 with Wesley Woodyard, Jayon Brown, Will Compton, Nate Palmer, and Daren Bates as the inside linebacker group, they won’t have gotten better, but they won’t really have gotten worse either. Especially when you consider the possible second year jump from Brown. As for what the inside linebacker rotation will look like, I think its far too early to tell. The Titans are still very likely to take an inside linebacker at some point in the draft. How high they take him and who that guy is will tell us a lot more about their immediate plans.	2022-06-30T20:01:40Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103877410.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220630183616-20220630213616-00176.warc.gz	en	0.97627	1,118	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-27", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:44385c7f-983c-45d1-97da-20bcb5342a63>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2018/4/3/17192066/titans-sign-former-washington-linebacker-will-compton" }
Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later). The new trailer gives a better look at The Biologist (Natalie Portman) – and the land beyond The Shimmer. The rebooted Judge Dredd movie, Dredd, is an action-packed ride that combines elements of the classic British series from the 2000AD magazine with the kind of triphammer percussiveness of Pantera. It doesn’t lay its Margaret Thatcher/Ronald Reagan government on steroids backdrop with a trowel, but the attitude of the comic is definitely the foundation for the film.	2018-03-22T08:07:57Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647782.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20180322073140-20180322093140-00212.warc.gz	en	0.867475	170	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:0b40dfc9-d001-4ac4-8989-ee0ca831d5ce>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://eclipsemagazine.com/tag/alex-garland/" }

Two members of the public left the meeting at this juncture (7:40pm) To confirm and accept minutes of meeting held on 21st June 2016 To take the minutes as a true and accurate record. Proposed by Cllr Hodson and seconded by Cllr Richmond. The minutes were then duly signed by the Chairman. Matters arising from minutes The Chairman reported that the minutes were not a verbatim record of a meeting and they should only be a brief overview of the meeting. Cllr Tuplin agreed that HDC minutes are kept to a minimum. Communication from Councillors Cllr Tuplin reported that Devolution was still a big topic of discussion at HDC. Councillors had received an impartial presentation at a special meeting and they had agreed to enter into discussions to ascertain what would be on offer. Cllr Tuplin recommended that Parish Councillors attend HDC Planning Committee meetings on applications that they have objected to. Attendance would not be necessary if the Planning Officer had also objected to the application.

Cllr James reported that with the Clerk she had attended the HDC Depot Open Day event. A discussion took place with the Local Highways Officer (HLO) who reported that:- a section of footpath along Main Street had been re-surfaced, due to lack of money the remainder is only to be slurried. Plainings are to be laid on Hemingford Road to repair the pot holes in addition to filling in the holes outside the recreation ground. The over-hanging trees in Gains Lane are being monitored but no further works are planned. HDC are planning a lane closure to resolve the dip in Main Street outside Crown Cottage.

Cllr Jarvis asked for clarification on why the Council had commissioned a tree report in 2015. The Chairman reported that funding had been earmarked in reserves to co-fund with owners the recommended tree works, the majority of which are poplars which were at the end of their life.

HDC will also be advised that the Council disagree with their view on ownership. It was agreed that a fuller debate was required and the item would therefore be deferred to the August meeting.

To consider the dog fouling proposal Cllr Jarvis presented his proposal to Council. It was noted that bags of pooh are being left lying around the village in addition to fouling not been cleared away. Dog mess is an eyesore and a health hazard.

Managing all the products that a dental office uses isn’t an easy task. There needs to be a certain “happy medium” between not having product when it’s needed and having a surplus of supplies that potentially ends up going to waste. To make sure your office finds that middle ground follow these simple tips: - Have one person in charge of ordering supplies and thoroughly checking inventory – multiple people in the office may chime in with product needs that they may have, but they should all be communicated to the same individual for ordering. That way you can ensure nothing is ordered twice or someone doesn’t assume another team member did it. Also, this person should be tasked with going through the supply closet and noting how much of each product remains. A co-worker may be certain you’re out of Ultrasonic Tablets but may not know that the purchaser moved their location. By having one person in charge of knowing the inventory inside and out they can provide accurate information for timely purchases. - Have a written manual with your ordering process – this ensures that even if your purchaser takes an extended vacation or even leaves their position you will have a fairly seamless transition to your next purchaser. This manual should include directions on what vendors you purchase what supplies from, the budget the purchaser is expected to follow, specific dates if/when applicable for purchasing, locations of resources on products, contact information, etc. - Establish a routine inventory check – at least once a month your purchaser should take a detailed inventory of your supplies. By doing this you not only make sure you have the products on hand when you need them but will also help you establish the amount of certain products you use per month to help form a predictive ordering cycle. For example, if after a few months of ordering you realize you always have a slight surplus of composite you can safely assume that you can lower your ordering quantity. - Keep a catalog of all products used and update it at the start of each year – this may seem tedious but having accurate records of products used, where they’re purchases from, for how much, etc. will save time and confusion in the long run, particularly on products you order infrequently. Refer to this catalog when doing your inventory checks and make notes for future orders. - Make sure to stay within your ordering budget – according to DrBicuspid.com your supply budget should be 5-7% of your average monthly collections. Make sure to track this carefully, noting the months that may be higher if you order some items in bulk for multiple months of use and then balancing them out by attempting to come in under budget in the months you aren’t ordering those supplies.	2020-04-01T13:59:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370505731.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200401130837-20200401160837-00219.warc.gz	en	0.944338	552	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-16", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:43736447-a51c-4d50-a934-3099c9db3233>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://blog.dentalcity.com/smart-inventory-management-how-to-streamline-your-ordering-system/" }

Public Health Director Gibbie Harris said Tuesday that the outbreak identified by the State and Centers for Disease Control earlier this month in Mecklenburg County has led to five additional cases since June 6, including a Hardee's employee diagnosed Monday. “After consulting with the State today, we are recommending a vaccination for exposed employees and patrons who ate at the 2604 Little Rock Road location between June 13 and 23,” Harris said. “According to the CDC, the vaccine must be given within 14 days of exposure for the vaccine to be effective.” People who dined at the Hardees on June 13 and 14 are strongly urged to get a vaccination in the next two days. According to the Mayo Clinic symptoms include: - Sudden nausea and vomiting - Abdominal pain or discomfort, especially on the upper right side beneath your lower ribs (by your liver) - Clay-colored bowel movements - Loss of appetite - Low-grade fever - Dark urine - Joint pain - Yellowing of the skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice) - Intense itching	2022-05-27T03:00:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662631064.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220527015812-20220527045812-00741.warc.gz	en	0.959582	325	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-21", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3a53c602-ae8f-4936-956b-9b805dd233c3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.wral.com/customers-who-ate-at-a-charlotte-hardee-s-may-need-hepatitis-a-vaccine/17656527/" }

Day 3: In a surprising turn of events, the Indian delegation agreed to the listing of chrysotile asbestos in the Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention which is the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) list. The turnaround came at a contact group meeting which was set up for discussion on chrysotile asbestos also known as white asbestos as they member groups of the convention could not agree upon a consensus. However, when India announced its stand it was applauded and it received a standing ovation at the plenary. This dramatic turn of events came after India opposed the listing of chrysotile asbestos in the PIC list on day two of the Rotterdam Convention. India cited pieces of national evidence suggesting that the substance can be used safely. However, that has changed now and India is also a part of the smaller group that has been set up to discuss and influence the position of Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The discussion is in fact being led by India and Australia. The Chemical Review Committee had recommended the listing of white asbestos on the grounds of WHO findings that asbestos was a hazardous substance harmful to human health and environment; it had also stated that PIC was especially important for developing countries which have weak legal and institutional structures for addressing hazardous materials. It should be understood that enlisting in PIC list is not equivalent to imposing a ban instead it increases the transparency between trading countries.	2019-07-23T02:01:28Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528635.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723002417-20190723024417-00053.warc.gz	en	0.973587	282	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-30", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:11875213-9818-4cd5-afe1-915e9afa5d03>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.cseindia.org/india-agrees-to-asbestos-listing-2706" }

If you had done a little reading up about buying diamonds, one of the first things you are probably told is to make sure that it is certified. Therefore, the answer to the question raised in the title is rather obvious. No. Buying a loose diamond without certification is never a good idea. A reliable grading report is the ultimate blueprint of your diamond. Not only would it accurately depict the 4Cs, it offers additional details like physical measurements, florescence rating and inclusion plots. At times when you have to leave your jewelry with someone else, the certificate offers details that can help you identify your diamond. Besides, a proper lab report from either AGS or GIA will give you assurance that you are getting exactly what is stated in the report. Consumers who intend to buy jewelry insurance can use the grading report as an objective assessment of its quality. In the unfortunate event that you need to make a claim or need to get your diamond replaced, you can make use of the grading report as a basis for the replacement value. Even though most people romantically believe that a diamond is going to have an eternal position among the family jewels, situations might arise where you have to sell off your jewelry. Naturally, you would expect a fair amount of money for your diamond. Without a grading report to back up your jewelry and authenticate its value, I can tell you upfront that it would almost be an impossible task to find a buyer. Full length GIA report with sealed loose diamond for authenticity Sadly, there do exist jewelers in the industry who are out to rip uneducated consumers off. Many times, I had heard jewelers telling me that a GIA certificate is just a marketing gimmick and I could save costs by buying “ungraded” diamonds instead. Well, the truth is far from that. This is a shady tactic often used to make a false argument based on face value. You see, any jeweler worth his salt knows exactly what he is selling to you. The problem with buying uncertified diamonds is; do you know what you are buying? Most consumers don’t. And this is how unethical jewelers take advantage of their naivety by overcharging prices of inferior diamonds. So, I have to say this again. Never settle for anything less than a GIA or AGS report. It’s for your own good. Also, you should avoid labs like EGL and IGI too. I know a lot of consumers try to game the system by trying to be “too smart” for their own good. It might be tempting to pay seemingly lower prices for an uncertified diamond and have it sent to a 3rd party grading lab at a later time. This entire process is not only lengthy but also costly when you have to factor in shipping and lab fees. On top of that, not all labs will accept stones from non-trade members. For example, AGS does not deal directly with the public. If you want a stone to be graded by AGS, it’s tough luck for you. You will need to source for an AGS approved jeweler who is authorized to submit the stone on your behalf. Again, this results in an increased cost and places unnecessary stress on you. Did you know that some stores actually provide an “Authenticity” or “Guarantee” card when you make jewelry purchases? Do not confuse this for the equivalent of a grading report even though they may appear to state similar specifications. For branding purposes, these cards could contain data regarding the origins of the uncertified stone. Some even go so far as to mention milestones about the diamond’s history, who the diamond cutter was, how the diamond was designed, awards won and etc… Don’t be swayed, this is just pure marketing bullshit. Nothing else matters as much as the grading report. Yep. You heard that right. There are scenarios whereby it is OK to buy diamonds without grading certificates. For example, if you are buying a halo or pave set ring, there could be numerous small (melee) diamonds that make up the entire design. It isn’t economically feasible for every single stone to be submitted for a vigorous lab grading processes. Why? Cost is the number one reason behind this. For melees smaller than 0.05 carats, the cost of the lab report fee can be more than the cost of the diamond. Imagine having a halo ring design consisting of 50 melees, how much do you think it would cost if every single one of them came with a certificate? The Dossier report doesn’t include a clarity plot diagram and is cheaper. Instead of sending them to the labs for grading, melee stones are simply sorted into parcels based on their quality. They are usually assigned a range of values for the clarity and color they possess. For example, you might sometimes see terms like G-H or F-G color and VS or SI clarity in ring setting descriptions that utilizes sidestones. As a rule of the thumb, every diamond larger than 0.3 carats must always be accompanied with a grading report. If you are buying diamonds that are smaller than 0.3 carats, grading reports could be optional and be subjected to the purpose of purchase.	2018-10-23T00:03:23Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583515555.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022222133-20181023003633-00392.warc.gz	en	0.960823	1,090	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-43", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:5cb12770-b0a1-4cbf-b898-ea1a5482f65c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://beyond4cs.com/loose-diamonds/is-buying-without-certificates-a-good-idea/" }
