The snake is a carnivorous reptile with a flexible body, jointed skull, and mobile jaw, and a ton of style. These animals are stealthy, speedy predators. Snakes of one variety or another are found around the world, with the exception of certain extreme climates and some islands. I first encountered the Serpent as an animal ally and spirit guide in the summer 2012. This mighty being guided me through a time of personal transformation. At once, I shed an old tired skin and the raw power of my consciousness began its long slow winding rise. The Serpent remains, whispering wisdom from betwixt and between, from the celestial and the chthonic realms.	2017-05-25T02:58:56Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607963.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525025250-20170525045250-00178.warc.gz	en	0.936387	135	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:26a23f39-86d9-4a9e-8758-33a7a5048fe7>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://wanderingwomanwondering.wordpress.com/animal-guides/snake/" }
Amazon and the destruction of choice? Let’s look at Amazon – a classic case where choice creates a model but where choice, by nature of its subsequent overwhelming nature, serves to commoditise value. Once value is commoditised, it can therefore be argued, choice ceases to exist. In a grey cloud, despite environmental analysis and empirical proof that it exists, no-one can see the water. Yet Amazon, a big puff of knowledge in a cloud of unknowing, still asserts a credible position in the consumer’s mind: good products, low prices, fast delivery. The Amazon phenomenon Amazon is a noted success story in digital economics. It has created an interface where service and delivery, combined with apparent low price, have engendered considerable consumer attraction and made it loyal. Who today does not shop on Amazon? Publishers themselves have become so terrified of this phenomenon that many have abandoned all sense of brand ownership and have either: constructed their own e-commerce platforms to tie in with Amazon; have re-routed their web sales to Amazon; or they have put their head in the sands. You can lead a horse to water but if Amazon’s tastes better… The Amazon method A singular conceit of the Amazon story is that it gives customers what they want at a price apparently guaranteed to be lower than elsewhere. Amazon has come to resemble the evergreen ivy – symbiotically thriving off the marketing initiatives of others to provide sales to consumers. Publishers market their products, the customers buy elsewhere. On Amazon. Some producers – and publishers in particular – have attempted to conclude that Amazon can be fought by offering a lower online price. This curiously blunt response is inefficient: if publishers lowered their prices, consumers would flock to them – right? Wrong. This is the power of brand. Amazon has fought for the space in the battle ground of perception and has won handsomely, it seems. Amazon has now created a machine and a brand so powerful that perception lies in the mind of consumers far bolder than individual brands themselves. “Want a Penguin book? Buy it off Amazon.” How can publishers survive when they have, in terms of brand apparently, ceased to exist? The Amazon pricing myth. If we study Amazon carefully we can observe that, as sales of a given product increase, so algorithmically the price of that product goes down. The machine appears to be designed to respond to products which sell well – allowing Amazon to manipulate its generous publisher discounts and to deliver margin by volume transaction. By contrast, products which do not sell well are priced with minimal discount: Amazon deems, logically, that low volume transaction requires higher margin. It can be observed therefore that lower prices are not a function of generosity but of trend. Volume has rarely proven to be a route to margin save when driven by sudden and consistent demand. The Amazon problem for publishers How can publishers survive in an environment when already in excess of 50% of the retail price of a book may have been surrendered to Amazon in terms of “trade discount”? How can they survive when a significant proportion of the remaining 50% is spent on marketing and promoting the book in the first instance? How can the already slender pocket price be managed so that publishers retain enough to stay in business and promote new books, e-books and other products? What makes a book desirable is one of the great publishing conundrums. As Philip Kogan, chairman of business publisher Kogan Page, once wryly observed “if you can write me a book that will sell then I will publish it”. The onus is on publishing staff therefore to be commercial rather than functionary. Yet many fall into the latter category. Many publishers and their staff have ceased to propagate consistent imagination; complacency has overtaken desire; professional pride has taken second place to “a job in publishing”. It can be observed that if publishers are no longer imaginative in output, and if Amazon as a tool offers little but a vast lake of literature ill-defined beyond digital categorisation, then consumers will become weary. Choice becomes a chore, not the outcome of selective enquiry. In this world, even the brightest pearls remain hidden in the encrusted oyster shell of publisher and retailer ennui. How Amazon fights against itself and its suppliers do likewise If we re-cap: Amazon owns a significant portion of the digital retail space. It owns a significant chunk of margin. It benefits from publisher marketing spend. Amazon’s function to a publisher is to clear stock in sufficient volume so as to render the initiative worthwhile. Yet in offering so much choice in one brand space, Amazon also serves to negate its own success by diverting attention from product assessment in favour of salient “best-sellers”. The publisher too does not help itself. We have also observed that significant rafts of publisher output is uninspired as a consequence of a publisher’s commercial imperative, which is to say the production of enough books in a year to deliver an overall margin at the end of it. The demand for revenue leads inexorably to the disintegration of quality unless the creation of quality is placed at the centre of publishing operation. It is also an inherent problem with publishers in that they are unable to define the value behind their books and load them into the shop window of Amazon in the hope of passing trade. Reading many descriptions of books on Amazon is akin to visiting an art exhibition in a village hall: mediocre quality aspiring to be seen as great. Marketers and copywriters are woefully ill-equipped to do the fundamental job needed in today’s online retail world: to describe the essence of a book in order to engender its successful purchase. It can also be observed that any search of Amazon may well yield a raft of entries for the same product. The current edition. Old editions. Other retailers selling the same edition. Entries with the book jacket showing. Entries without an image. Out-of-print editions from second-hand stalls. At the same time, Amazon is prepared to help the publisher but only, it appears, if the publisher is prepared to pay – for example, to appear in a promotional email to Amazon customers. More pocket price given away in the hope of further sales. Through Amazon. At 50% discount or whatever. Amazon today, therefore, is often now a tool offering a shop window for products which are not attractively wrapped and neither are they inherently visible. In Amazon’s shop window, Tiny Tim would never see the toys he wishes his parents could buy for him. There are too many books, too poorly described. Amazon, ultimately, is not helping itself. And publishers are not helping themselves – or Amazon – either. Which probably accounts for the fact that, even for Amazon, its book retailing margins are barely more impressive than those of the publishers themselves. A way forward? In creating a tool designed fundamentally to service volume sales of attractive items, Amazon in many ways has created a platform where significant potential is lost. By the same token, Publishers still remain unable to define why any reader should choose its products over those of another publishing company. Price and value once again fall away on the altar of doing the easiest things as quickly as possible. This article argues therefore that a better model for Amazon be created where retailer and producer combine to create a platform of informed choice. Amazon should insist on certain descriptive and marketing standards for what it sells and publishers ought to know what it is they are selling by being more understanding of the value inherent in their product range. Amazon should refuse multiple entries of the same title and should not permit product entries deficient of key elements such as book jacket design, contents listings and other judgement criteria. Publishers ought, too, to create books of real quality. In such an environment, consumer choice and product visibility become easier, volume-based products will continue to sell well and lower-volume items will be more accessible to retail at acceptable margins. But such a development is unlikely in the short term. Amazon has no financial need to change and publishers in response will continue to tread water. The consequence of which is the continuation of the same problem which has dogged publishers and booksellers for years: the idle pursuit of an acceptable level of income irrespective of the value surrendered through laziness and intellectual incapability. In the meantime, the consumer remains confused, unable to make informed choices and the publishing and retail industry – Amazon included – will continue significantly to perform below their real potential.	2015-05-26T09:26:00Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928817.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00034-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.952384	1,748	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:a9016e9a-0c17-4aa1-9943-c25d065080ed>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://abranddayout.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/amazon-and-the-destruction-of-choice/" }
Night-time Noise Levels and Patients’ Sleep Experiences in a Medical Assessment Unit in Northern England Felicity Astin1, 2, *, John Stephenson1, Jonathan Wakefield1, Ben Evans1, Priyanka Rob1, Garside Joanna1, Emma Harris1 Identifiers and Pagination:Year: 2020 First Page: 80 Last Page: 91 Publisher Id: TONURSJ-14-80 Article History:Received Date: 28/01/2020 Revision Received Date: 25/04/2020 Acceptance Date: 07/05/2020 Electronic publication date: 18/06/2020 Collection year: 2020 open-access license: This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0), a copy of which is available at: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.

Hospital in-patients need sleep so that restorative process and healing can take place. However, over one third of in-patients experience sleep disturbance, often caused by noise. This can compromise patients’ perceptions of care quality and cause physical and psychological ill health. To assess 1) in-patients sleep quality, quantity, reported sources of sleep disturbance and their suggestions for improvement 2) objectively measure decibel levels recorded at night. This descriptive study conducted in a Medical Assessment Unit used multi-methods; a semi-structured ‘sleep experience’ questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of in-patients; recording of night-time noise levels, on 52 consecutive nights, using two calibrated Casella sound level meters. Patient ratings of ‘in-hospital’ sleep quantity (3.25; 2.72 SD) and quality (2.91; 2.56 SD) was poorer compared to ‘home’ sleep quantity (5.07; 2.81 SD) and quality (5.52; 2.79 SD). The difference in sleep quality (p<0.001) and quantity (p<0.001) ratings whilst in hospital, compared to at home, was statistically significant. Care processes, noise from other patients and the built environment were common sources of sleep disturbance. Participants’ suggestions for improvement were similar to interventions identified in current research. The constant noise level ranged from 38-57 decibels (equivalent to an office environment), whilst peak levels reached a maximum of 116 decibels, (equivalent to banging a car door one metre away). The self-rated patient sleep experience was significantly poorer in hospital, compared to home. Noise at night contributed to sleep disturbance. Decibel levels were equivalent to those reported in other international studies. Data informed the development of a ‘Sleep Smart’ toolkit designed to improve the in-patient sleep experience. The quality of the physical environment in which care takes place is important because it contributes to patient safety and well-being . Florence Nightingale highlighted the importance of a healing environment for hospital patients in her Environment Theory . She drew attention to several important environmental factors that cause patient distress and delay recovery, including unwanted noise . Positive patient care experience is an important indicator of high-quality health care . However, the physical characteristics and milieu of the hospital setting make it a challenge to create a healing environment that promotes patient comfort and well-being . Hospital in-patients are particularly in need of sleep for its restorative and healing properties, but 30-60% of in-patients experience sleep disturbance [5-8]. Studies show that in-patients experience dynamic changes in their sleeping patterns that can lead to sleep disruption and sleep deprivation [7, 9-11]. Sleep has an important biological function and is essential for good health. However, the prevalence of sleep insufficiency has led to its recognition as a public health epidemic . Poor sleep is known to have a negative effect on all physiological systems; leading to abnormal emotional processing, reduced immune function, delayed wound healing and an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke [13-17]. Poor sleep is also associated with delirium and is an independent risk factor for falls . Disruption to sleep patterns following hospitalisation can persist for up to a year after discharge to home . At its most extreme, sleep deprivation is a form of torture . Sleep quality is a rather neglected aspect of patient care and is typically underreported by health professionals, despite being an important factor contributing to optimal health and wellness . Several factors cause sleep disturbances and sleep disruption for hospital in-patients, but noise, defined as ‘unwanted sound’ , is one of the most common causes [7, 23, 24]. The problem of unwanted night-time noise in hospitals is both widespread and significant, as over 17 million people are admitted to hospital each year in England alone . Results from a UK patient experience survey, with a sample of over 70,000 respondents, indicate that 39% of patients reported being disturbed by noise from other patients and 20% by noise from the hospital staff . Similar survey data collected from patients across America show that over 40% of the respondents reported noise around their bed space at night . Unwanted noise in the workplace also has a negative impact on staff and can lead to lapses in concentration and at worst, burnout . To understand how we can improve in-patient sleep, it is important to understand the patients’ perspective about their sleep experience, identify sources of disturbance, and accurately measure noise levels in the ward environment. Several studies have measured noise levels in critical care and operating theatre settings, but less is known about the soundscape of general wards . Of the few published studies conducted on wards, common sources of noise at night reported by patients were staff conversations, other patients, alarms and ward equipment [7, 8, 30]. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has published guidelines for acceptable levels of environmental noise in hospital wards; a maximum sound level (LAmax) of 40 A-weighted decibels (dBA) and an equivalent continuous sound level (LAeq) of 30 dBA, overnight . International studies have reported that noise levels in hospitals have increased over the past 50 years and frequently exceed WHO recommendations by approximately 20-40 dBA [32, 33]. It is readily apparent that the problem of unwanted noise at night is not new despite it being a ubiquitous problem that impacts negatively on care quality and patients’ health and well-being. Additional research is required to understand in-patients’ experiences of sleep and the factors that cause sleep disturbance, including environmental noise. Little research has been conducted in ward settings, but existing evidence reports that noise reduction interventions are feasible and have the potential to improve patients’ sleep experiences . Successful interventions may have the potential to mediate improved patient outcomes, shorten hospitalisations and improve the working environment for staff. The aim of this multi-methods study, conducted on a Medical Assessment Unit, was to evaluate patient self-report questionnaire data (self-reported sleep quality/quantity at home and in-hospital, sources of in-hospital sleep-disturbance) and measure night-time noise levels. 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS 2.1. Study Design A multi-methods study design was chosen to address the research aims. This was an appropriate design as we aimed to objectively measure noise levels in a Medical Assessment Unit and explore patients’ subjective sleep experiences and ideas for improvement using a brief researcher generated questionnaire. 2.2. Setting and Participants We recruited a purposive sample of patients consecutively admitted to the Medical Assessment Unit (24 beds) of a district general hospital in Northern England. All eligible adult patients (≥18 years) admitted to the Medical Assessment Unit, for a minimum of one night, were invited to participate providing they were clinically stable, gave consent, and were able to communicate in English. Those participants who were completely deaf, or diagnosed with a sleep disorder were excluded. We aimed to recruit a sample of 150 participants, which is comparable to other similar studies [5, 8, 36]. 2.3. Data Collection The collection of the patient survey data and measurement of environmental noise levels took place in two concurrent phases, between September and November 2016, following ethical approval. 2.3.1. Phase 1. Development and administration of a brief ‘Sleep Experience Questionnaire’ (SEQ) Several aspects of sleep can be evaluated. International recommendations tend to focus upon sleep quantity and recommend that adults aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to support healthy ageing . For the purpose of this study, we chose to ask in-patients about sleep quantity and quality as both are important. We defined ‘sleep quantity’ as the total sleep time in hours, and ‘sleep quality’ as the subjective assessment of how refreshed and rested an individual felt after sleep . A scoping review of available measures to assess patient sleep patterns identified the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) as a potential measure . However, the RCSQ had some limitations as it was validated for use in critical care settings . Also, it does not fully assess the quality and quantity of sleep in the hospital, compared to that at home, from the patients’ perspective. We wanted to evaluate the considerable variation in individuals’ sleep-wake cycles and began to understand how sleep quality, and quantity, altered at home compared to that in thehospital. As there were no suitable measures, we designed the brief ‘Sleep Experience Questionnaire’ (SEQ) in consultation with service users and a sleep scientist (available from authors on request). The measure included clinical and demographic items (e.g. age, gender, use of medication to promote sleep, use of a hearing aid, Modified Early Warning Score and self-reported pain rating) and questions designed to assess sleep quality and quantity, both at home, and in-hospital, self-rated by participants using 10 cm Visual Analogue Scales (VAS). Open-ended questions were also included to determine the aetiology of sleep disturbances in the Medical Assessment Unit and suggestions for ways to promote sleep for hospital in-patients from their own unique perspective. The questionnaire was circulated to a working group (2 service users, 4 health professionals, 5 academics including a sleep scientist) to support the face and content validity of the measure. In response to user feedback, the wordings used in question 5 and 6 was modified and a lay explanation of sleep quality and sleep quantity added. During the data collection period, a senior nurse identified potential participants admitted before 22.00 hrs, on the previous night, who were clinically stable. A research nurse then screened participants against set exclusion criteria (inability to communicate in English, diagnosis with a sleep disorder, complete deafness). Study information was given to eligible participants and the opportunity to ask questions. Following informed consent, willing participants completed the paper-based SEQ. 2.3.2. Phase 2. Objective measurement of environmental night-time noise levels Most studies recording environmental noise levels in hospitals have done so for a period of days, rather than months, and predominantly in critical care settings. We recorded night-time noise levels for a sustained period for three reasons; first, so that we could add a new perspective to what is known on this topic. Second, we could minimise the observer effect, which potentially undermines the integrity of research findings. Third, data from participant’s subjective assessment of sleep quality and quantity in the Medical Assessment Unit, and night-time noise level could be collected simultaneously. Data triangulation is a useful approach to validate research findings and results using both data collection methods contributed to a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon. Noise levels were continuously recorded in one-minute intervals over each 24-hour period, using two sound level meters (Casella, model CEL-632C, Class 1) calibrated, as per manufacturer’s recommendations. The meter settings (fast i.e. a time constant of integration of 125ms and A-weighted) were chosen as recommended in the WHO guidelines . The sound meters were located in two 4-bedded patient bays; one located at the end of the corridor, and the other room situated close to the nurses’ station in the centre of the unit. These bays represented a typically quieter (End Room) and a busier (Middle Room) clinical environment according to feedback from clinical staff. The microphone (Casella, CEL-251) for each sound level meter was secured to the ceiling in each bay. Sound level meters were calibrated regularly using an acoustic calibrator (Casella, CEL-120). 2.4. Data Analysis 2.4.1. Patient Questionnaire Data Quantitative data were extracted from the questionnaires and data entered into SPSS (version 24). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. VAS data for ‘sleep quality’ and ‘sleep quantity’ in hospital, and at home, were compared using paired samples t-tests with significance level set to 0.05. Qualitative data from open-ended questions were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns or themes in the data . This method matched the multi-method study design because it is not aligned with a specific epistemological perspective or qualitative methodology. Data were read, and re-read, as part of a familiarisation process. We coded the data using a theoretical approach as we had a specific research question. The aim was to explore patient-reported sources of sleep-disturbance to develop an aetiology specific to the Medical Assessment Unit setting using an inductive approach. We also wanted to understand participants’ views about suggestions for sleep-promoting strategies. To support the management and retrieval of qualitative data, we used Microsoft Excel, an approach used by others to provide an audit trail . Using an open coding approach, one researcher developed a preliminary coding frame. A second researcher repeated the process independently to support the trustworthiness of the analytical process. Preliminary codes were compared, refined and grouped together to form themes, which were reviewed against the data set. There are two levels of themes in the thematic analysis ; in this analysis, we focused on each participant resulting in semantic themes that stayed close to the explicit meaning of the data set. The final stage of the six-stage analysis was the refinement of the themes. 2.4.2. Environmental Night-time Noise Level Data Environmental night-time noise levels were recorded for 52 consecutive days. Three parameters were studied; 1) maximum sound pressure level (LAmax dBA), 2) mean sound pressure level (LAeq dBA), 3) the number of night-time 15-minute intervals in which maximum sound pressure levels ≥ 80dBA. A technician downloaded sound level meter data daily using Casella Insight software. For completeness, details of the analytical approaches that were used are available on request from the authors. 3.1. Participant Characteristics Two hundred and four patients were screened and eligible to participate. Of these, 147 (72%) agreed to participate. Two participants consented but did not complete items on self-reported sleep quality and quantity. The final sample comprised 145 participants. Participant characteristics and self-reported outcomes are summarised in Table 1. \|Fig. (1). Patient self-reported sleep quality and quantity at home and on the Medical Assessment Unit.\| \|Participants (n=147)\|\|Frequency (%) or Mean (SD)\| \|Age (years)\|\|67.0 (17.7)\| \|Prescribed medication to induce sleep (n=145) \|Modified Early Warning Score\|\|1.48 (1.94) (range 0-9)\| \|Self-reported pain level (10-point Visual Analogue Scale)\|\|2.00 (2.56) (range 0-9)\| 3.2. Self-Reported Sleep Quality and Quantity Fig. (1) shows data from a 10-point VAS of (n=145) participants’ self-reported sleep quality, and quantity. Participants’ average home sleep quality was rated by participants as 5.07 (SD 2.81 points) and sleep quantity as 5.52 (SD 2.79 points). The average sleep quality and quantity on the Medical Assessment Unit was 3.25 points (SD 2.72 points) and 2.91 points (SD 2.56 points), respectively. Paired samples t-tests showed a statistically significant difference between self-reported sleep quality, and sleep quantity at home compared to that in the hospital. Participants reported poorer sleep quality and quantity whilst in hospital compared to that at home; a statistically significant decrease was evident in both parameters (t146=6.01, p<0.001) sleep quality; (t146=10.3, p<0.001) sleep quantity). 3.3. Qualitative Data 3.3.1. Aetiology of Sleep Disturbance in a Medical Assessment Unit Five themes characterised the qualitative data from open-ended questions about sources of sleep disturbance shown in Fig. (2). Table 2 provides supporting details, including participants’ quotes and suggestions for improving in-patient sleep. Many participants did not think it was possible to reduce the level of noise in the ward. \|Fig. (2). Aetiology of night-time sleep disturbances in a medical assessment unit.\| \|Theme\|\|Frequency of Response to ‘What Caused Sleep Disturbance?’\|\|Participant Quotes on Causes of Sleep Disturbance\|\|Participants’ Sleep-promoting Suggestions\| \|1. Care Processes\|\|62\|\| “1am blood test. 2am X-ray. Woken up to do OBS”. “Doctor’s visit, Nurses taking swabs ƒ?" all roughly at 1- hour intervals rather than progressive and co-ordinated”. “Once patients are settled- try to leave them all together. Perhaps try to admit all new patients to the same area”. “Once stable patient could be moved to a quiet area and limit admissions to nearer the ward entrance”. \|2. Other Patients\|\|63\|\| “The patient in the next bed was coughing and groaning”. “Worst factor in disturbing sleep was other patients snoring, vomiting and one patient very disruptive”. “Move noisy patients out of 4 bedded bay”. “Offer ear plugs”. “Headphones for the TV”. “The staff are doing the best they can. If there were more staff to attend to patients when they were anxious or distressed, it would be better”. \|3. Built Environment\|\|41\|\| “A lot of beeping- especially from BP machine”. “Alarm from IVAC on another patient frequently during the night”. “General ward noise-trolleys moving up and down the corridor outside the bay”. “Lots of noise from squeaky bed wheels and people moving around”. “I was very cold. I couldn’t settle”. “Staff had to use main room light because lamps were not working on either bed”. “Single rooms for all patients”. “Perhaps soundproofing the doors”. “Quieter equipment e.g. foot pedal on bin and bin lid”. “Possibly adjust the noise of the buzzers at night time. Have vibrating phones with light-up display for the Nurses- to reduce noise. (phones to be in nurses’ pocket) this would reduce delays in answering phones too”. “Use machines with a lower beeping noise or use machines which vibrate instead”. “Dampen noise on wheels of trolleys etc.” \|4. Physical and Emotional Factors\|\|38\|\| “Pain and coughing (myself)”. “Pain in back. And bed uncomfortable”. “Kept getting up to the toilet”. “Change of environment-sleeping with strangers”. “Missed my own bed and bedding”. “Strange bed. Strange room. Anxious about my health. Anxious about my business.” “Asked for a sleeping tablet when admitted to the Medical Assessment Unit because of previous experience of sleepless nights here due to noise”. “Give medication on time- then not waiting around. Also, when you get the medication, it helps you get to sleep”. \|5. Staff Noise\|\|19\|\| “Other things like nurses and patients coming and going, no-one lowered their voices”. “At 5.30am I was woken by noise in the corridor”. “Keep voices down a bit”. “If nurses can be as quiet as possible”. “Staff just being more aware that patients are in a bedroom trying to sleep”. 22.214.171.124. Care Processes In this theme, participants described a range of care processes that led to frequent night-time sleep disturbances. The broader health and social care team provided the care, which included nurses, health care assistants, doctors and allied health professionals. Participants were disturbed by a variety of care processes received by themselves or patients nearby, such as the monitoring of vital signs, the implementation of various diagnostic tests such as chest X-ray and blood tests, and the delivery of medication through nebulisers. Participants recognised that many of these clinical procedures were a necessary part of their health care, but commented on the lack of care co-ordination. Sleep promoting suggestions related to reducing or changing the organisation of patient admissions at night. 126.96.36.199. Other Patients In this theme, participants described factors that caused sleep disturbance caused by other patients in the clinical area. The noise generated by patients was either ‘general’ or ‘specific’. Participants described ‘general noise’ from patients that did not have a single identifiable cause. Specific noises that caused their sleep disturbance reported by participants were often linked to physical noises such as patient snoring, coughing or audible breathing. Participants also mentioned the noise caused by patients needing to get up in the night to use the toilet or commode. However, the most commonly reported source of sleep disturbance was the noise from patients described as being distressed or disruptive who were talking, or shouting out. Participants suggested offering earplugs or headphones to in-patients to muffle environmental noise. An increase in staff numbers was suggested to provide additional care for distressed patients. 188.8.131.52. Built Environment In this theme, participants described non-human factors in their environment that caused sleep disturbance. Most factors caused sleep disturbance by generating unwanted environmental noise. For example, participants identified a wide range of noise-generating fixtures and fittings. Participants reported sleep disturbance being caused by noise from doors and cupboards banging, trolleys, squeaky wheels on beds, televisions and a printer. Participants also described noise from medical devices and equipment used in the ward setting as sources of disturbance during the night. They described ‘beeping’, ‘bleeping’, and the noise from alarms, buzzers, call bells and intravenous fluid delivery pumps as sources of sleep disturbance. Ambient temperature and light were also identified by participants as sources of sleep disturbance; being either too hot or too cold and lights being switched on, or on and off. Providing individual patient rooms was the most common sleep-promoting suggestion offered by participants across all themes. Other suggestions included reducing the volume on alarms and buzzers and repairing or replacing noisy equipment such as bins and trolley wheels. 184.108.40.206. Physical and Emotional Factors In this theme, participants described intrinsic physical symptoms or sensations that disturbed their sleep. Some participants complained of being in pain, coughing or feeling generally unwell, which made it difficult for them to sleep. Others mentioned that they needed to get up to go to the toilet frequently because of the effects of the medication they had been given. A few participants mentioned that they were feeling physically uncomfortable due to the mattress or pillow. Others mentioned that their sleep was disturbed because they were feeling tired, were unable to sleep or felt anxious. 220.127.116.11. Staff Noise A small proportion of participants mentioned noise from staff as a source of sleep disturbance. This could be general noise from staff moving about the ward, or from staff talking to one another. Participants mentioned hearing singing, shouting, loud conversations and music that caused their sleep disturbance. One participant mentioned that the noise caused by staff opening and closing plastic folders had caused sleep disturbance. Participants suggested that staff talking could be reduced and staff awareness about the volume of noise caused by talking should be increased. 3.4. Night-time Noise Levels Table 3 shows the data on noise levels recorded for 52 nights in total. During the entire data collection period, in both the ‘Middle Room’ and ‘End Room’, there were no 15-minute periods where sound pressure levels were within the WHO guidelines (i.e. LAmax ≤40 dBA and LAeq ≤30 dBA). No significant differences were observed between maximum or equivalent continuous noise levels at weekdays or weekends. \|Logarithmic Mean of Nightly Maximum Sound Pressure Level (LAmax dBA)\|\|Logarithmic Mean of Nightly Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure level (LAeq dBA)\|\|Number of 15-minute Periods Where Maximum Sound Pressure Levels ≥ 80 dBA (mean (SD))\| \|End Room\|\|102.60\|\|49.20\|\|23.94 (SD 5.83)\| \|Middle Room\|\|106.43\|\|51.59\|\|26.42 (SD 4.67)\| This multi-methods study addressed two interrelated study objectives with findings that add new insights concerning patients’ sleep experiences and levels of night-time noise in a Medical Admissions Unit. First, we evaluated participants’ reports of their sleep quantity and quality at home, and in a hospital. Second, we asked them about the causes of sleep disturbances during their hospital stay so we could develop an aetiology of sleep disturbances in the Medical Assessment Unit. We also asked participants to offer suggestions for ways to promote sleep for hospital in-patients at night. Participants’ self-reported sleep quality and quantity were significantly poorer in the hospital compared to at home. This finding was not unexpected as several international studies have reported that between 40-60% of patients in hospitals report poor sleep quality [7, 44, 45]; with an average decrease in night-time sleep duration of 1.8 hours between home and in a hospital . Our findings show a self-reported decrease in sleep of over 2 hours in a hospital compared to home. This suggests that patients in the Medical Assessment Unit are likely to experience fragmented sleep, which if sustained, could lead to sleep deprivation. In the short-term, sleep deprivation can have an immediate effect on the neuroendocrine and hormone systems (e.g. increased cortisol secretion), cardiovascular system (increased heart rate and blood pressure) and on behaviour and cognition (daytime sleepiness, reduced alertness, negative emotions) . Sleep disturbance also has a long-term effect; studies have reported that in-patients’ sleep patterns are often disrupted for up to a year following a period of hospitalisation which has a negative impact on health and well-being . International recommendations state that adults should aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to support healthy ageing . Participants in this study reported an average sleep duration at home of 6 hours per night, which was unexpectedly low. Poor health and associated symptoms ahead of hospital admission may explain this finding. Alternatively, the older age of participants (mean age 67 years) may be a contributory factor as the ability to maintain sleep tends to decrease with age. A recent study from Australia provides some useful comparative data. The authors published data on the self-reported sleep duration, at home, of a sample of 144 participants with a mean age of 64.2 years as 7.1 hours . The minimum (1 hour) and maximum (15 hours) sleep duration was surprisingly diverse . From these data, we can assume that many in-patients may have accumulated a sleep deficit prior to hospital admission that could negatively influence their health and response to treatment. These data highlight the importance of a holistic patient assessment. Sleep and rest patterns are important aspects of biological function that should be assessed as part of person-centred care. Self-report data on sleep quality and quantity has some limitations and may be subject to recall bias. That said, studies comparing self-report data and polysomnography data have reported that the former tends to overestimate sleep quantity compared to the latter . So the ‘at home’ sleep quality and quantity reported by our study participants may be potentially better than data recorded using objective techniques. Findings from the qualitative data enabled us to develop a novel aetiology of sleep disturbance in a Medical Assessment Unit. The most frequently reported causes of sleep disturbance were care processes, noise from other patients, built environment and physical and emotional factors. There are surprisingly few recent studies available for comparison. A literature review on noise at night in general wards, published five years ago, reported that staff, other patients and visitors were the most common causes of environmental noise . A more recent Australian study reported that clinical care provision, and noise from staff, as the most common causes of in-patient sleep disturbance . A UK study that focused upon the acoustic environment of wards, rather than sources of sleep disturbance, reported ward equipment as the most common source of noise . Medical Admissions Unit in-patients reported similar sources of noise. Noise from other patients, rather than staff, was the second most frequently reported cause of sleep disturbance in this study, which contrasts with findings from other studies [7, 30, 48]. Our study participants described different types of noise generated by other patients. They identified physical factors, such as snoring and coughing, as causing sleep disturbance. Study participants also referred to ‘distressed’ or ‘disruptive’ patients as disturbing the sleep of other in-patients. Similar patient-related noise sources have been reported in other studies [36, 49, 50]. Noise from distressed or disruptive patients is stressful for both staff, patients and those close to them. As the average age of patients in general hospitals is 70 years of age, many in-patients are likely to have dementia and/or delirium. Furthermore, staff often lack specialist training to enable them to assess patients with dementia and develop appropriate interventions . A new 24-hour service staffed by specialist support workers, trained to provide one-to-one care for distressed patients, was piloted at the participating organisation following this research. The use of single-patient rooms may offer an additional solution, but this approach may not always be practicable or desirable. A recent review identified both positive and negative aspects of caring for patients in single rooms . The use of earplugs is a feasible alternative to reduce general background noise to reduce sleep disturbance, but is a less effective approach for masking peak noise levels . Noise from the Built Environment, which we conceptualised as the building, medical equipment, fixtures and fittings, was the third most frequently reported cause of sleep disturbance by our study participants. Other studies have reported noise from alarms, doors, trolleys and cupboards as a common source of sleep disturbance [7, 48]. Findings from our study add to research on this important topic by confirming that whilst there are likely to be similarities in specific ‘noise generators’ across clinical settings, each has its own specific soundscape. Participants’ physical and emotional status was reported as a potential source of sleep disturbances. For example, physical sensations such as pain and discomfort were reported as factors that caused sleep disturbances. Other studies have reported similar findings [6,7,10,53]. A closer look at the implementation of pain assessment protocols at night may address sleep disturbance caused by pain. It is accepted that interventions designed to educate nurses about acute pain management often lack theoretical foundation and current practice could be improved . Emotions and feelings linked to being in a strange environment with other people also caused sleep disturbances. Studies conducted in China and Iran have reported worries and concerns about health and illness as emotions that contributed to poor sleep quality for patients; this was also evident in our findings [44, 45]. In the final part of the qualitative study, we asked participants to make suggestions for improvements that could promote sleep and reduce sleep disturbance for in-patients. This is a unique and innovative aspect of this study as all too often, patients are not included in quality improvement initiatives. Interestingly participants’ suggestions broadly reflect several of the noise reduction interventions reported in a systematic review . This demonstrates the value of seeking patients’ feedback in the development of health services. In the second part of this study, we objectively measured night-time environmental noise levels over a 52-day period in a Medical Assessment Unit. The prolonged recording period of night-time noise levels in this study is a particular strength. Few studies have objectively and accurately recorded night-time noise levels in a ward setting for such a prolonged period. For this reason, our study makes an important and significant contribution to the current literature on this topic. The average night-time equivalent continuous sound pressure levels were between 38-57 dBA. This is categorised as a ‘soft’ to ‘moderate’ noise level, that at the higher level, is equivalent to office conversation. The decibel levels in this study were similar to those reported in an overview of studies published between 1964 and 2005; equivalent sound pressure levels were reported as between 35-82 dBA . More recent studies conducted in medical, general surgical and orthopaedic wards report average equivalent sound levels of between 42-64.6 dBA [7, 8, 36, 56-59], whilst in critical care settings, levels can be 80dBA . The highest and lowest maximum sound pressure across all nights, across both rooms, on the Medical Assessment Unit was between 94-116 dBA. This instantaneous noise level is very loud and equivalent to hearing a banging car door at one metre distance. A peak noise level of this magnitude is common in hospital settings; others have reported similar maximum sound level pressures of 100 dBA [7, 60]. There was no significant difference between average night-time equivalent continuous sound pressure levels and maximum sound pressure levels recorded on weekdays, compared to weekends. This was surprising, but the consistent patient flow rate through the Medical Assessment Unit provides a logical explanation for this finding. Over the last forty years, the (logarithmic) average night-time noise levels in a hospital setting have steadily increased . It is clear from our study, and others, that hospitals are noisy places and are becoming increasingly so, largely due to the technological innovations that are now part of daily clinical practice. The level of noise required to cause sleep disturbance leading to poor health consequences is ≥ 55 dBA [61, 62]. Maximum sound pressure levels in the Medical Assessment Unit were consistently above this level. Noise levels in the Medical Assessment Unit, and those reported in most international studies, exceed current WHO recommendations . Unfortunately, WHO recommendations appear to be meaningless in today’s hospital environments as they set an unachievable target. In one study, noise levels recorded in an unoccupied room, set up with the equipment required for respiratory support alone, exceeded WHO recommendations . Environmental noise levels recorded across different clinical settings vary considerably and multiple factors contribute to noise production and propagation. These include the architecture of the clinical setting, fixtures, fittings, equipment, the acuity of patients and the number of staff, to name a few . A welcome addition to the WHO guidance would be directives on effective approaches to reduce noise to reduce sleep disturbance. Suggestions for interventions that can either eliminate noise at source, or reduce the propagation of noise, could be a valuable first step in supporting health and social care professionals to promote sleep for hospital in-patients. Another important consideration is the quality and familiarity of specific sounds and their impact on patients. Sounds from alarms are more likely to cause disturbance than other sounds such as human voices . It may be worth considering whether interventions should target a reduction in maximum/peak noise levels in clinical settings rather than average noise levels. For example, the cabin of a commercial flight has an average equivalent sound pressure in the region of 80-85 dBA , yet many people are able to sleep in this environment. Further research could establish whether sudden loud noises in a clinical environment are more likely to cause sleep disturbance than continuous background noise. This study has some limitations. The setting was a single ward in one hospital, which may reduce the generalisability of the results to other settings. Conversely, the focus upon a single clinical setting enabled us to develop a very comprehensive understanding of the soundscape in the Medical Assessment Unit. It is widely accepted that patient self-report data may be prone to recall bias. However, the use of polysomnography, the gold standard to assess sleep, was not feasible due to the invasive nature of the data collection process and expense of the equipment. The prolonged recording period of night-time noise levels is a strength of this study because it is longer than that reported in the majority of comparable studies. This study shows that the self-rated patient sleep experience was significantly poorer in the hospital, compared to home. Noise at night was a contributor to sleep disturbances in this study, with similar noise levels reported in other international studies. Future research should identify effective interventions to improve the quality and quantity of sleep for hospital in-patients. This is an important aspect of care because it influences the patient experience and health outcomes. Sleep deprivation is associated with poor physical and mental health. Moreover, sleep disturbance is associated with adverse events such as falls that lead to avoidable patient harm and prolonged hospital stay. This study provides a new aetiology of sleep disturbance, which shows that five key factors influence the patient sleep experience; additional research is needed to understand how such factors vary across different clinical settings. Several countries distribute patient experience surveys, but questionnaire items about the in-patient sleep experience are not consistently included and the specific sources of sleep disturbance poorly understood. Future research about sources of sleep disturbance caused by the ‘Built Environment’ are needed as this aspect of noise generation is often overlooked. Health architects play an important role in ‘designing out noise’ to create a healing environment in new hospital builds. Research data informed the development of a research derived actionable ‘Sleep Smart’ toolkit designed for use by health professionals to guide the improvement of the in-patient sleep experience. Appendix 1 shows the sleep promotion framework and an overview of the ‘Sleep Smart’ toolkit (copyright © 2019 Sleep Smart Working Group) with additional resources available from the corresponding author. This study confirms that sleep quality and quantity in a Medical Assessment Unit is significantly worse than at home. Most importantly, many patients admitted to the hospital due to ill health may already have a sleep deficit. The first aetiology of noise in the Medical Assessment Unit, from a patient perspective, shows that care processes, other patients and the built environment are key sources of sleep disturbance. Most importantly, our study shows that although sources of sleep disturbance may be broadly similar across clinical settings, each clinical setting is different. Noise levels at night in a Medical Assessment Unit, studied over a 52-day period, are above those recommended by the WHO , but similar to those reported in multiple international studies. The problem of noise at night in hospitals is not new, but does not seem to be a priority amongst those with the most significant influence. Several simple strategies can reduce noise at night and promote sleep. Unfortunately, no one factor can be singled out against another as having a greater or lesser impact on noise reduction or sleep promotion . Noise from other patients may be reduced by considering ward layout and using noise ‘blocking’ interventions, such as ear plugs. Other approaches include reminders for staff to ensure that they close doors, avoid conversations in hallways or next to the bedside, turn televisions off or provide headphones for patients wanting the television on, provide earplugs, have pagers/phones on vibrate and implement ‘quiet hours’ [59, 66-70]. At a policy level, the current WHO guidance requires urgent updates and the addition of an action plan for change. The most recent version of the guidance avoided making recommendations for acceptable noise levels in hospital settings, which is unfortunate . An important first step should be to raise awareness at a governmental level to ensure that this important aspect of patient care is on the agenda for change. At a national level, hospital staff, patients, and those close to them, need to be at the forefront of ‘designing out noise’ in new hospitals. Specific attention to the redesign of patient flow between Accident and Emergency/Emergency Departments and other clinical areas is warranted to minimise night-time disturbance. National patient experience surveys could revise items to reflect the key themes in our aetiology when asking participants about what caused noise at night. Care processes and built environment are two important factors that are not currently included. Patient feedback is a powerful driver of improvement, but only if it is meaningful to health and social care staff. We recommend that hospitals develop and implement methods of providing patient feedback to staff on sources of sleep disturbance. The first step in cultural change is to raise awareness about the need for change. The impact of poor sleep on physiological and mental health requires more emphasis in health professional education. Using a “patient story” is a useful way to raise awareness at a local level particularly as feedback is more likely to be actionable if it is locally applicable and context-specific. At a local level, health and social care teams can evaluate the frequency of clinical observations and patterns of care provision at night to identify opportunities to reduce disturbances where possible. To achieve sustainable cultural change, the approach needs to be participatory, and the teams need to include all hospital staff, including those working in estates, portering and domestic services. Workforce managers could also consider implementing a night-time response outreach team of staff trained to sensitively, and safely, support distressed patients to reduce night-time disturbance. Change needs to occur at several levels if we are to address this challenge effectively. FA, JS, JW, BE, JG contributed to the successful funding application for the research.

Washington, Aug 18 : Biracial Asian Americans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with a psychological disorder as monoracial Asian Americans, a new study suggests. Researchers at the Asian American Center on Disparities Research at the University of California, Davis, say that 34 percent of biracial individuals in a national survey had been diagnosed with a psychological disorder, such as anxiety, depression or substance abuse, versus 17 percent of monoracial individuals. "Up to 2.4 percent of the U.S. population self-identifies as mixed race, and most of these individuals describe themselves as biracial," said Nolan Zane, a professor of psychology and Asian American studies at UC Davis. "We cannot underestimate the importance of understanding the social, psychological and experiential differences that may increase the likelihood of psychological disorders among this fast-growing segment of the population, " he added. The team looked at biracial Asian Americans from across the U.S., including 55 Filipino-Caucasians, 33 Chinese-Caucasians, 23 Japanese-Caucasians and 14 Vietnamese-Caucasians. Zane said that future research should investigate the factors that explain the higher rate of diagnosed psychological disorders among biracial Asian Americans.	2017-05-25T19:59:47Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608120.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525180025-20170525200025-00608.warc.gz	en	0.930934	252	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:f45016cb-0cef-4ec6-96ce-77a84a8a09c0>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.oneindia.com/2008/08/18/biracial-asian-americans-suffer-psychological-disorder-monoracials-1219053960.html" }
FALLS — The argument that led to the strangulation death of a Fairless Hills landscaper at the hands of his 19-year-old son may have been triggered by the father's having found a drug pipe in the home earlier in the day, authorities said. Police Chief Arnie Conoline said yesterday that George Liebel, 57, telephoned police at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, asking for their help with his son John. Conoline said an officer talked with Liebel. ``He didn't file any complaint but was just looking for advice,'' Conoline said. Conoline said the officer advised Liebel to seek family counseling but told him if his son got out of hand to call police.	2015-03-02T11:13:55Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936462751.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074102-00133-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.986863	149	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-11", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:577f39e5-098a-438d-95d6-3fea6dc79512>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://articles.philly.com/1997-02-25/news/25535809_1_drug-pipe-plastic-pipe-strangling" }

Purchasing a house is a personal task that you should not underestimate. It should be more than just looking for a house with a great façade – you should look beyond and find a house that you can live with for years. Have a checklist. Are you looking for a house that is 100% concrete or just had concrete refinishing? If you are not sure what to look for in a house, here are some common house-hunting mistakes that you should at least avoid. Not Having a Checklist Having a house-buying checklist will help you trim down your options when choosing a house to buy. You can start with the number of rooms you want, the size of the house, how many bathrooms you want, the size of the back and front yards, its location, and what it is made of. Do you want a concrete house or are you looking for a house made of wood and something else? Having a checklist will not just save you time checking all the available houses near you, it will also save you energy and money spent on gas to check every property. Not Having a Price Range Before you start asking realtor agents or browsing different housing brochures, you must set your budget first. How much can you afford for a house? Are you looking for an expensive fully furnished home or are you okay with a semi-completed house and you can do the concrete refinishing yourself? If you are not sure how much it would cost to do concrete refinishing, ask a concrete contractor to give you an estimate. With a price range in mind, you can easily trim down your options and find it easier to choose the best house that is within your budget. Not Checking the Property First Even if you have hired the best and most reliable realtor agent out there, it is still best to check your house of interest personally before making a purchase. Don’t trust images and videos alone. You cannot see small floor cracks or faded paints in images. A small enhancement can remove those marks easily. Doing an ocular visit will also give you a chance to check other details such as door and door locks, the roof, the foundation of the house, and the floors. These small things are often taken for granted and once they start giving a problem (eg leaking roof or easily chipped floor), then you will just realize that you were doped. Not Hiring an Agent Hiring a realtor agent is like hiring a professional concrete company. You should hire someone with good background and reliable experience. Hiring an agent is advantageous because they knew the ins and outs of buying houses, they knew where the best house on sale was and they knew how to talk to get a great price for you. Just tell your agent what you want, give them your list and they can easily find available houses that fit your preferences. Again, you can trust them with this because this is their job, but you should still visit each house they recommend before you make a decision. Making an On-The-Spot Offer Once you find your dream house, avoid making an on-the-spot offer. You should ask yourself at least ten times if it is indeed what you want. Remember, you still have a lot of options out there and you need to balance each pro and cons before making that decision. Purchasing a house is a long-term investment. It means you will be staying in that place for years. However, you will also be living in that neighborhood so make sure to check the neighborhood first. Is there any nearby hospital, school, train station, police station, concrete company, gas station, and food parks? Aside from living in a beautiful house, you need to have a beautiful and accessible neighborhood as well. As you shop for the best house to live in, don’t feel too much pressure. Make it a happy experience where you enjoy searching for options. Make a challenging one where the goal is to find the best house for your future. Whether you are looking for a concrete house or plans to do concrete refinishing with your future house, you should always think of it as a happy and challenging task. Always ask for help from agents and concrete companies who know what to look for in a good house. An agent can find the best deal for you and a concrete contractor can tell you whether you are buying a highly durable house or a substandard one.	2023-09-23T07:40:45Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506480.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923062631-20230923092631-00595.warc.gz	en	0.96176	909	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2023-40", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:82ff89e8-4bc0-49d8-9140-008a2e5c18c8>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://architecturesideas.com/house-hunting-mistakes/" }

Ladies and Gentlemen … The Penguins!, by Ivor Davis \| Dedicated Review The Children’s Book Review \| March 24, 2019 Written by Ivor Davis Illustrated by Dave McTaggart Age Range: 4+ Hardcover: 32 pages Publisher: Cockney Kid Publishing (2018) What to expect: Penguins, Music, Geography, Ornithology,and Humor Bound to capture the attention of music buffs, fledging ornithologists, and enthusiastic geographers, Ladies and Gentleman … The Penguins is as entertaining as it is educational. Sadie, a King Penguin, lives in the Falkland Islands, a British territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean.Sadie has always wanted to be a rock star. The trouble is that the Falkland Islands are far from most places … so it’s unlikely that Sadie will be scouted by a talent agent. Sadie decides to form her own rock band instead. Known as The Penguins, her King Penguin family members play the guitar and drums, while she shares the occasional vocals with cousin Ezra. When Brian Fishstein, the owner of the island’s only music store, says he will make The Penguins bigger than Elvis, the band sings “Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.” And Penguinmania ensues. Will The Penguins be able to keep up with their newly found fame? Author Ivor Davis has filled his jaunty tale with well-placed Beatles puns, and ends the book on a high note by adding facts about penguins and the Falklands, a puzzle that teaches the names of the actual members of the world famous band, The Beatles, as well as some fun coloring pages featuring The Penguins band members. Dave McTaggart, the illustrator of over 30 children’s books, adds plenty of pop to the pages with bright colors and characters with pizazz. Bursting with fun, Ladies and Gentleman … The Penguins will surely appeal to a wide range of young readers, but particularly those destined to be rock stars—either the singing in the shower type or those sure to head out on a world tour at any chance they get. About the Author London-born Ivor Davis first came to America in the early sixties and was ap- pointed West Coast correspondent for the 4-million-a-day circu- lation London Daily Express in l963. His first big assign- ment came the follow- ing year: to hang out, travel with and get to know the four members of a new pop group from Liverpool who was tearing up the world with their music: the Beatles. His memoir of these travels was published in 2014 – The Beatles and Me on Tour. Over a more than four-decade as a writer for theExpress and the Times of London, Ivor covered significant events in North America. He penned a weekly entertainment column for the New York Times Syndicate for over 15 years, interviewing some of the biggest names in show business, from Cary Grant to Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton to Tom Cruise and Muhammad Ali. In l969 he co-wrote Five to Die, the first book ever published about the Sharon Tate murders. As a foreign correspondent, he traveled throughout the western hemisphere covering riots, floods, earth- quakes, and politics. As Editor at Large for Los Angeles Magazine, he and his late wife Sally Ogle Davis wrote over 100 major magazine and cover stories. He reported on four World Soccer Cups for CBS radio.

Archives for: October 2007, 06 I fought the lawn and theâ€¦well - it's too early to tell who is going to win. When the builder finished our house, he graded it in such a way as to divert water around the house and toward a seasonal creek that is behind our lot. He warned us that we needed to get landscaping quickly in place that would prevent erosion from undoing what he had done. Then it rained for two months and we saw a lot of the dirt beside the driveway wash down the hill. At last we found a landscaper who was oriented toward xeriscaping and using native plants. He brought in rock to create a dry creek bed where the natural drainage was occurring. Then he put in a bridge and stepping stones for access to our front door from the driveway. He hauled in more dirt to put along the driveway. He spread two kinds of grass seed (one is a winter grass, the other is a drought resistant native summer grass), and covered them with erosion preventing netting. I'm to water for 10 minutes every day, and in 14 days I'm supposed to see sprouting grass. For my part, I am picking up rocks and gravel. I used leftover bricks from the house to line a path from the back door to the driveway. I'm hauling the small gravel to that path, so it won't be muddy in rainy weather. The large rocks I'm hauling to the side of the house, to extend the dry creek bed on down the side of the hill. As I lift the buckets of rocks, I think about the fact that weight bearing exercise is supposed to increase bone strength. As I wipe sweat from my face, I remember that intense physical exercise is the best kind of exercise for Type Os. When I get the rocks removed, I want to plant wild flowers. I know this will be a long and hard project. It won't be finished in a year - or even two. I know that in the spring I will have to attack the grass that will certainly want to take over my dry creek bed. I've got weeks of hauling rocks yet to go. I'm taking on the lawn - and I intend to win.	2015-01-25T16:42:15Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115900160.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161140-00110-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.977986	457	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-06", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:4b6384da-99cc-4396-9d66-c722f2763e44>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.dadamo.com/B2blogs/blogs/blog1.php/2007/10/06/" }
Source: Flickr user Daniel Lobo. When we think about recipes for well-funded retirement plans, we often start with some basic concepts. One of them is that investing is key to preparing for our post-work years. Within our investment portfolios, however, is a separate consideration--one that's crucial to getting retirement right. It's the concept of risk. Planning for our golden years requires us to understand exactly how much risk we can handle and how much we have to take in order to retire well. So let's look at two key elements of risk and break out some strategies for assessing and preparing for your future in ways that allow risk to work best for you. Tolerance and capacity: Two sides of the investment storyRisk is inherent in every portfolio. The effectiveness of our investing strategy relies on it. First and foremost, risk refers to the possibility that our investments will lose value. If this happens in such a way or at such a time that it affects our retirement income, then if can have serious adverse effects on our post-career lifestyle. We may have to postpone or cancel trips to see loved ones. Or worse, we may have trouble simply paying the bills. The potential outcomes of taking risk include some unpleasant and challenging scenarios. So, to better understand this important factor, let's look at risk through two different frames: tolerance and capacity. - Tolerance: At its simplest, tolerance means the amount of exposure to downside that you can endure without becoming deeply worried and upset. That's important because investors stand to make poor decisions when they're rattled by such feelings. Investor tolerance is often measured in the financial advisor's office via questionnaire-style assessments -- e.g., "What would you do if your stock lost 30% of its value in a market change?" - Capacity: The concept of capacity is connected to the amount of money you need your investments to create so that you meet the financial goals you've set for your post-work years. While tolerance is about how much risk you can psychologically bear, capacity is about how much risk you have to bear in order to adequately prepare for retirement. Capacity is typically determined by considering your ROI, how much time you have left before retirement, and the income goal(s) you've targeted for your retirement years. You must strike a balance between your tolerance and your capacity. You have to acknowledge your ability to handle risk, but you also have to hit your marks by making profitable investments along the way to age 65 (or so). In the next section, we look at ways to think about striking that balance over time. Maintaining the balanceThe timing of investment strategies can affect the relationship between tolerance and capacity. Consider the following examples. - Early planners: When you have three or four decadesbetween now and your anticipated retirement age, your tolerance can typically stand to be higher. Even if you take a moderate loss early on, you have plenty of time to recover; you're not so close to retirement that capacity is creating the sort of pressure that it will in coming years. However, if you find you're a low-tolerance investor, keep in mind that a bond-heavy portfolio won't build a cushy retirement account like a stock-dominated portfolio could. - Mid-career planners: For planners whose working life has entered the middle phase, approaches to risk might change. Even if your tolerance is high -- i.e., if you like to shoot for high returns even if you take more significant losses along the way -- the realities of your financial situation could mean that you should reduce your risk somewhat. A married mother of three and a freelance artist might not be able to tolerate as much risk as, say, a single woman who got ahead with her start-up's well-timed IPO. For the average mid-career retirement planner, capacity may dictate a process of steadily reducing portfolio risk. - Flush or frugal? As you approach retirement, the relationship between your capacity and assets will largely determine how you create and maintain your fixed income. If you end your career a billionaire, then congratulations: Even if the risk you take exceeds your capacity, and even if you take a loss because that risk doesn't pay off, you'll likely still have the liquidity to keep up car payments, mortgage payments, and the like. However, if you're a more typical retiree, tolerance and capacity will likely play a more delicate role in your decisions. For example, when it comes to this type of retiree, experts at Schwab recommend a portfolio along the lines of 40% cash-and-bonds coupled with 60% stocks (their proposal is predicated upon a $1 million retirement account fueling $50,000 in annual income). The key is to address the roles of these elements in your retirement planning -- now. And remember, tolerance doesn't always conform to answers on a questionnaire. Be prepared to flex if your portfolio hits a rocky point along the way. In reality, that 30% loss could seem more painful than you had expected when you filled out that questionnaire. Consult with your financial advisor and configure your portfolio so that risk tolerance and risk capacity work for you in acceptable --and sustainable --ways.

Today is National Running Day and in honor of that, I have a discount for you. Best Damn Race is offering $5 off any race if you register today. Use the code RUNDAY and you have until 11:59 PM. I highly recommend this race, it’s one of my all-time favorites. Click here for the website. Click here to register for any of their races, no code needed. Discounts are good for today only so hurry! I think I might have mentioned on more than one occasion that I like to run first thing in the morning. I almost always wake up before everyone else in my house. I usually try to be quiet so as not to wake anyone until the sun comes out and then I go run. Usually I read some of my favorite blogs and peruse the internet which is what I was doing when I found this little jewel on reddit. Soggybrick is a reddit user whose girlfriend talks in her sleep. He thinks she’s hilarious so he started writing down the things she says and posting it on reddit. Things like, “I need more feet” and “I feel like I have keyboards stuck to me”. It seriously cracked me up. On Monday I went to the Dollar Tree and while I was checking out the cashier kept yawning. She explained that she was very tired for some reason but she didn’t know why. I told her that was okay and mentioned that even though I’d just gotten back from a vacation I was tired too. Then we had the following conversation: Cashier: A Vacation, that’s nice, where did you go? Cashier: Wow, I’ve never even been out of Florida. Me: No, I meant I went to Venice, Florida. Cashier: Oh, where is that? Me: About an hour and a half south of here, in Florida. Cashier: Oh, I guess that is a lot closer than the other Venice. It probably takes a really long time to get to Asia anyway. Bless her little geographically challenged heart. While reading the blogess earlier in the week I found the coolest T-shirt in her store and I think I need it. It’s a fairly accurate description of me on most days. I’m pretty sure I should buy it. Last night the kid comes over and while we’re hanging out he tells me that there are these little things called Demodex folliculorum and that everyone will have at least a few of them at one point in their life. I was curious so I asked to know more and the kid showed me this picture. Then he told me that they are face mites and they feed on your face while you’re sleeping! Well, technically they feed on dead skin cells within hair follicles during the day and at night, they surface to mate and lay eggs in hair follicles, such as your eyelashes. I will have bad dreams forever. Kids are so great. Have a wonderful National Running Day and a wild and wacky WTF Wednesday! You know the drill, tell me something wacky from your week!	2018-11-18T12:03:09Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744368.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118114534-20181118140534-00220.warc.gz	en	0.976501	669	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-47", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:f42be81a-0196-4b0d-b643-16dcf0cd38d3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://upandhumming.com/2015/06/national-running-day-2015-on-wtf-wednesday/" }
Recent government crackdowns on Chipotle and Pei Wei that forced both concepts to at least temporarily close locations have reminded restaurant operators that the government is taking illegal immigration very seriously. The two incidents, in which illegal immigrants were found to be in each quick serve’s employ, came almost two years after the Obama administration decided to rein in the employers who hired illegal immigrants rather than go after the employees themselves, which had been the primary strategy up to that point. In April of 2009, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) would reduce the need for large-scale immigration enforcement actions where employees were arrested. The focus instead turned to finding evidence to criminally charge employers. ICE now uses tools like I-9 audits, fines, and debarment to combat the hiring of illegal immigrants, which might account for more than 700,000 of the industry’s 12.8 million employees, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Early this year, Chipotle fired 450 employees in various Minnesota locations stemming from an ICE audit. The Denver-based burrito chain later received Notices of Inspection for about 60 restaurants in Virginia and Washington, D.C., as well. The company is cooperating with ICE, “but we have not received any final determination,” says spokesman Chris Arnold. In 2010, ICE criminally charged a “record-breaking” 180 business owners, employers, and managers/supervisors—up from 135 in fiscal year 2008 and 114 in fiscal year 2009, says agency spokesman Ivan Ortiz-Delgado. Since January 2009, ICE has imposed about $50 million in financial sanctions. In fiscal year 2010, the agency debarred 97 businesses and 49 individuals, up from 30 businesses and 53 individuals in fiscal year 2009. In the same year, it conducted more than 2,200 I-9 audits, up from more than 1,400 in the year before. Chipotle is not the only restaurant concept to come under scrutiny for hiring undocumented immigrants. In the last two years, McDonald’s, Sizzler, and Krispy Kreme have all made similar headlines. In March, Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office deputies raided Pei Wei Asian Diner locations in metro Phoenix to arrest employees working with stolen IDs. While not a federal action, the raids show a general shift toward less tolerance for hiring undocumented workers across the country. “Restaurant owners should understand that they are a target for this sort of challenge,” says Michael Wildes, an immigration lawyer at Wildes & Weinberg P.C. in New York. Wildes says the Obama administration’s new employer-focused policy is a mere “Band-Aid” on the larger problem of illegal immigration in the U.S. and places a disproportionate burden on restaurants. “They are scapegoats in an economy where people have less disposable funds to go out,” he says. In response to the increase in federal investigations, the National Restaurant Association (NRA) has been lobbying the government for leniency on what it calls “paperwork violations” on I-9 forms, the one-page, proof-of-eligibility document every employer must file within three days of hiring an employee. ICE does not track how many fines it gives out for technical mistakes on I-9 forms, but NRA vice president of labor policy Angelo Amador says they are common, expensive, and all but unavoidable, especially in an industry with high turnover. “Some of the mistakes are as basic as you forget to write the maiden name of an individual,” he says. “Anyone with more than a few employees is going to have errors.” The NRA has asked Congress for a 30-day grace period for employers to fix technical errors. “We’re not talking about fraud,” Amador says. “We’re talking about good-faith errors.” The association also wants restaurant operators to be able to verify employee eligibility through the phone in addition to the existing E-Verify system, which allows them to check employee documents against a federal database. There is a “high probability” Congress will enact these reforms, Amador says, but it depends a lot on how the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a case involving an Arizona law that requires employers to use E-Verify to check employee eligibility. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Obama administration both oppose the requirement. The NRA “could probably be able to support” a federal law requiring E-Verify if it meant a nationwide standard instead of different requirements in different states, Amador says. He expects the Supreme Court to decide the Arizona case by June. In the mean time, restaurant operators are still adjusting to the Obama administration’s policy shift one year later amid a stubbornly slow economy. “Just when the government should be getting out of the way of entrepreneurs, they are instead sharply increasing the cost of regulatory compliance for small businesses,” says Detroit-based Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen franchisee John Brodersen. Brodersen says he has gone through three recent government audits and incurred expensive fines. But not everyone in the industry is upset with the government’s actions. Jim Oberweis, CEO of Oberweis Dairy, said in an e-mail to QSR that his business has never incurred a fine for hiring illegal immigrants, adding that companies can use E-Verify to avoid hiring illegal immigrants “if they really wanted to.” “For way too long, our government refused to take action against those companies hiring [illegal immigrants],” Oberweis said. “It is high time that the government take reasonable action, and I am quite pleased at the initial steps they have taken.”	2014-11-29T01:21:50Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931011456.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155651-00245-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.949362	1,222	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-49", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:aa9e1373-4905-42f4-b889-acfacec21c99>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.qsrmagazine.com/exclusives/who-s-working-your-kitchen?microsite=588" }
Physics Division Seminars bring us speakers on a variety of physics related subjects. Usually these are held in the Building 6008 large Conference Room, at 3:00 pm on the chosen day, but times and locations may vary. For more information, contact our seminar chairman, Tel (Office): (865) 574-6124 (FAX): (865) 574-1268 A mapping of the spectrum of gluonic excitations is critical for a quantitative understanding of the confinement of quarks and gluons in QCD and is the goal of a new detector planned for the energy-upgraded CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab. The GlueX experiment will use a 9-GeV beam of linearly polarized photons produced from 12-GeV electrons by coherent bremsstrahlung as the probe. Model calculations based on flux-tubes and other phenomenological analyses indicate that the yield of exotic hybrid mesons (the smoking gun signature of gluonic excitations) relative to conventional mesons should be comparable in photoproduction whereaas the exotics are suppressed with pion probes. The physics, technique and status of the GlueX project will be discussed. The CD-0 for the JLab upgrade, that includes GlueX, was recently signed by the DOE.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psa 147:3) All of us seem to carry some kind of hurt in our lives. There have been people and circumstances that have wounded us and we carry our battle scars today as inconspicuous tattoos that we’d rather hide than display. Emotional pain seems sometimes harder to bear than physical pain. Physical pain seems somewhat more objective and we can figure out more readily its cause and cure. Emotional pain seems more subtle and insidious and has that tendency to masquerade itself and then jab you when you’re not looking. How many of us would jump at the chance to go back in time and rewrite our history so we wouldn’t have that hollow feeling in our hearts today? We’ve read the books, we’ve tried the remedies, we’ve talked and thought it all out a million times but the anguish fails to flat line. Is there any cure for the hurting heart? When Jesus came into His hometown of Nazareth one Sabbath morning He went to the local synagogue assembly. The leader asked Jesus to read from the Isaiah scroll of the Old Testament. Jesus found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." (Luke 4:18-19). After He read this passage Luke continues: Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." (Luke 4:20-21) What a wonderful promise that Jesus has come to give us the good news of His salvation which incorporates the greatest healing a person can receive . . . the healing of the sin-sick soul. Then we have the promise of Rom 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” If the Lord has given us His salvation, then we can trust Him for the rest of the issues of life! Trauma happens to us all. There is the crisis and then follows the infliction of pain as a result. Hurts take time to heal but we have the wonderful promise of Hosea 6:1, “Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.” What we don’t want to do is fixate on ourselves and focus on our pain or even our healing. This would be the doorway to a self-centered life. We are to look “unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb 12:2). After we look to Jesus we are to focus on others who are in pain. And if you take a good look out there you will find many who are suffering a lot more than you are. God wants to comfort you in your trial so you can be a comfort to others (2 Cor 1:3-4). If you never had any pain you wouldn’t have a clue as to what other people are going through. God loves you. He has promised to comfort you and to heal your broken heart. Jesus was a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa 53:3). He knows what you’re going through. Remember His terrible suffering on the cross but also remember He rose again and is your Healer today. (Exo 15:26; Mal 4:2)	2020-11-29T09:37:05Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141197593.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20201129093434-20201129123434-00230.warc.gz	en	0.969375	804	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-50", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:7c507967-a5c5-4fa1-8062-a516791642b2>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.shepherdtosheep.com/post/emotional-healing" }
There is a couple of miniature oil platforms, a rig service vessel and a miniature helicopter involved in the action of the story. Nigel Brackley of NB Modeltronics built and operated the model Bolkow BO 105 helicopter for the bomb dropping sequence. Particularly noteworthy is the tiny mechanical figure which can be seen walking on a gangway of the rig to impart some life to the miniature. This is a film that I originally caught late night on TV in the 80's and was astounded at the quality of the miniature work, having never heard of the film. I would love to know more about the miniatures but have never once come across any information of any kind about the film's model shoot. \|Top of the sky backing is visible at the top of the photo\| \|The platform miniature sitting in the empty tank with sky backing screen behind. This must be a test of the practical lighting as the model is not yet painted.\| \|Model rig support ship under construction.\| \|Small orange figure ( Top middle ) walks along the side of the model. It has some very mechanical motion but is just glimpsed in the film and is quite effective at making you think you are looking at a real oil platform.\|	2021-01-16T07:48:16Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703505861.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116074510-20210116104510-00527.warc.gz	en	0.953447	253	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-04", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:4285f901-7fb4-409c-995f-0e3a04d4fcac>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.modelshipsinthecinema.com/2013/06/northsea-hijack-aka-ffolkes-1979.html" }

EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon’s three-run inning in the fifth was all the No. 16 Ducks needed in a 4-2 win over San Francisco on Monday night at PK Park. In the bottom of the fifth, Pac-12 Player of the Week Brett Thomas drove in the go-ahead runs with a two-out, bases-loaded, two-run single back up the middle. As San Francisco (14-21) led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth, starter Jordan Remer (1-3) got into trouble after surrendering two walks and a single to load the bases with two outs. USF went to the bullpen in favor of right-hander Cameron Love, but a wild pitch from Love scored the game-tying run as Connor Hofmann came across the plate. Love then walked Ryon Healy to load the bases for Thomas. In the loss, Remer allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four in four and 2/3 innings on the mound. Oregon (21-9) left-hander Jordan Spencer (1-1) was credited with the win after holding San Francisco to one run on six hits in four and 2/3 innings of relief while registering two strikeouts. In his first start on the mound for Oregon, Scott Heineman allowed one run on one hit and one walk, while striking out one in two and 1/3 innings of work. In the top of the ninth, Jimmie Sherfy picked up his seventh save of the year, retiring the final two batters of the game. Brett Hambright and Hofmann led the Ducks with two hits apiece.	2014-04-16T22:54:31Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609525991.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005205-00632-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.934247	347	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-15", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:38c908f0-76c6-456f-9c2f-ee8aa1adac58>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.mybasin.com/2012/04/09/ducks-down-dons-on-diamond/" }
Recent power outages across the state provide a perfect incentive to invest in a portable generator — but keep electrocution, CO2 poisoning dangers at forefront If you’re one of the 857,000-plus DTE Energy and Consumers Energy customers who lost power during the recent, record-breaking windstorms in Michigan, I’m sure you’ve had thoughts about investing in a portable generator. This is understandable, as most of us would prefer backup power to keep the lights on and prevent refrigerator food from spoiling. But before you start comparing prices or asking friends with a generator about how well they work, keep in mind the hazards that generators can pose — from electrocution to carbon monoxide poisoning, and from fires to lineworker deaths. Where to place a generator and keep it dry The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says generators pose a risk of shock and electrocution, especially if they are operated in wet conditions. Most of the time when the power is out, it’s due to wind and rain, so an easy way to prevent a portable generator from moisture is to have it placed under an open, canopy-like structure. The surface should be dry and not susceptible to water reaching it or puddling or draining under it. If your hands are wet, dry them before touching the generator. Never stand in water when setting up or operating a portable generator, and don’t operate a generator in a plastic tent or cardboard box, as they can burn and start a fire. Look for a portable generator that’s equipped with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets to prevent electrocutions and shocks. As an electrocution attorney, I know that this is one of the many ways dangerous, even deadly accidents can occur. No “back feeding” the generator OSHA says generators should never be attached directly to the electrical system of a structure (home, office, trailer, etc.) unless a qualified electrician has properly installed the generator with a transfer switch. Attaching a generator directly to a building electrical system without a transfer switch can energize wiring systems for great distances, or cause “back feed,” which poses an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. Connecting appliances to the generator The U.S. CPSC also says that once the power goes out, appliances should be connected to the generator with heavy-duty extension cords that are specifically designed for outdoor use. The wattage rating for each cord must exceed the total wattage of all appliances connected to it. The extension cords should be long enough to allow the generator to be placed outdoors and far away from windows, doors and vents to the home or to other structures that could be occupied. Check that the entire length of each cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs. Protect the cord from getting pinched or crushed if it passes through a window or doorway. Safely fueling the generator Portable generators run on gasoline, which when burned off produces carbon monoxide. According to the U.S. CPSC, 657 portable generator-related carbon monoxide deaths occurred nationwide between 2004 and 2013. And during the recent power outage, a woman and two children in Detroit and two Jackson County residents died from high levels of carbon monoxide when they used a generator indoors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Standards and Technology say that 15 feet from the home is not far enough to place a generator safely, as windows, doors and vents can catch carbon monoxide and bring it into the home. The U.S. CPSC recommends generators be placed at least 20 feet from the house. (Keep your neighbors in mind, too, and don’t have it placed close to their homes, either.) The Detroit Fire Department cautions consumers to never fuel a generator while it’s running. To minimize the dangers of fire, shut it off and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before refueling. Like other gas-powered outdoor equipment, part of the generator get extremely, especially the muffler area. Keep your hands — and children — away from these hot spots. Be sure enough fuel is on hand if the generator is going to be on for an extended period of time. During a power outage, gas stations may be closed. And, of course, don’t smoke around the generator when it’s running.	2023-03-29T03:26:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948932.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20230329023546-20230329053546-00466.warc.gz	en	0.924955	930	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2023-14", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b44ab423-0404-4fca-8f28-04c262e68d87>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://electrocuted.com/blog/generator-electricity-fire-safety/" }
Elite Public High Schoolers, Predominantly Asian-American, sweep Siemens / Westinghouse Prizes To survey the high schools of the 2011 Siemens Competition in Math, Science, & Technology winners (descendent of the former Westinghouse Science Talent Search) is to see American secondary, public education at its impressive peak. Polished web sites burst with notices of state champion teams, “Top Schools in Nation” awards from various publications, and arrays of courseware / e-learning tools to shame most universities. Curriculums are replete with Advanced Placement programs, wide-ranging foreign-language instruction, outstanding student newspapers, radio and TV stations, extensive performing arts programs, etc. To students in most of the world, including much of the U.S., these places would be almost hard to believe, educational paradises on earth, combining rigorous study, lavish facilities, and seemingly unlimited encouragement of diverse interests and creativity. Remarkably, of the 16 high schools represented, only 1 is private (Horace Mann, in New York). However, most are either in highly affluent and educated districts (Palo Alto, Cupertino, Westport CT, John’s Creek GA) or are highly selective (Stuyvescent, LSMSA in Louisiana). Four schools are in the San Francisco area, four in the NYC area. Asian-American students predominate, making up 4 of 6 individual winners (1st, 2nd,3rd, 5th) and 9 of 14 team winners. Exemplifying the trends, the top prize winner, Angela Zhang, attends the 72% Asian Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, California, one of the nation’s most affluent cities (and naturally, home of tech superpower Apple). A 2005 Wall Street Journal article claimed that Monta Vista was experiencing a “white flight” caused by White American families feeling overwhelmed by the academic focus of the school’s majority Asian American students, notes Wikipedia. What conclusions might one venture from this small but interesting sample? One, public education in the U.S. is extraordinary, in places. You can get outstanding education for your children, without the large private tuitions paid by the elite of most countries, but you’ll probably have to invest greatly to live in one of the elite communities where this “public” good is provided. Also, cultural factors matter a lot — Asian-American focus on education is dramatically reflected in the makeup of Siemens Competition winners — and proximity to leading cities (SF, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta in this case).

The School Governance Environment in Uttar Pradesh, India: Implications for Teacher Accountability and Effort AbstractThe school governance environment is an important determinant of schooling quality and thus of development. This article explores how school governance is influenced by teacher unions and teacher politicians by presenting evidence on the political penetration of teachers, the activities of teacher unions and the stances of teachers' organisations on various decentralisation and accountability reform proposals over time. It asks how student achievement varies with teachers' union membership and political connections. Finding that students taught by unionised or politically connected teachers have significantly lower scores, it asks to what extent this negative relationship works via such teachers applying lower effort.

And to truly finish off any craving I have for curry, coconut, and mussels…. I will shock all by attempting to make this dish! 🙂 Coconut Curry Mussels Recipe - 2 lbs of mussels, cleaned and debearded - 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil - 1 yellow onion, chopped - 1 thai chili, finely chopped (can substitute good pinch of chili flakes) - 3 teaspoons of ginger, minced - 1 1/2 tablespoons of curry powder - 1/2 cup of chicken broth - 1 can of coconut milk (13.5 fl. oz.) - Pinch of salt - 1 stalk of lemongrass, chopped into four pieces and smashed - 3 kaffir lime leaves* (optional) - Chopped cilantro - Lime wedges *Kaffir lime leaf: a key ingredient in Vietnamese, Thai, and Hmong cuisine; can be found in Asian Markets, though many markets now carry them in the produce aisles with other fresh herbs. The taste is very distinct and can’t be substituted. However, you can make this dish without the leaves and the mussels will still taste great. 1 Place mussels in a bowl of cold water so the mussels will spit out any sand or mud. Let them sit for 10 minutes. Drain and repeat. Toss any mussels that are open as these are dead. Debeard the mussels, pulling out their byssal threads (aka: their “beards”) and place them in a bowl of cold water until ready to use. 2 Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion and stir for a few minutes until they become soft and slightly translucent. Add the chilies, ginger, and curry powder and stir for a minute until fragrant. 3 Add the chicken broth and reduce half. Add the coconut milk, salt, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves if using and bring to a boil. Drain and add the mussels, reduce heat to medium and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any that are closed as these were dead before cooking. (Some may only be slightly open, if you have to debate on whether it’s good to eat or not, toss it.) Spoon mussels into bowls and pour over with broth. Garnish with chopped cilantro and juice from lime wedges.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Jon Gruden is expected to become the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gruden, who coached Oakland from 1998 to 2001, would return to the Raiders to replace Jack Del Rio, who was fired after Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. ESPN reported Saturday that Raiders owner Mark Davis was prepared to pursue Gruden with a strong offer that could include an ownership stake in the team. Gruden, who currently works as an ESPN analyst, declined to specifically comment about the Raiders this past weekend, saying "there is no news to report." A contract including an ownership stake would have to be approved by NFL owners. The Raiders also still have to interview candidates for the job and meet the requirements of the Rooney Rule. "I know him," Raiders star quarterback Derek Carr said Sunday when asked about the Gruden reports. "I've known him for a while. But it's still pretty fresh [with Del Rio being fired]." The Raiders concluded Del Rio's three-year tenure with the team -- and completed a disappointing 6-10 season -- with their 30-10 loss to the Chargers. Del Rio signed a four-year contract extension last offseason. "Today was kind of a microcosm of our season," Del Rio said Sunday. "The opportunities and lack of production really not good enough, really disappointing." Del Rio said Davis informed him of his firing after Sunday's game. "He told me he loved me and appreciated all I did to get this program going in the right direction, but that he felt the need to change," Del Rio said. "I told him how much I appreciated the opportunity he gave me; very grateful, my childhood team. "But it's a results business. I understand that." Davis released a statement, saying: "We appreciate Jack's effort in building the foundation of this team for the future. Thank you to Jack, his wife, Linda, and his daughter, Aubrey, for their important contributions to the Raiders and our local community in Oakland. We wish them all the best." Del Rio went 25-23 in his three seasons with the Raiders and lasted longer than any Oakland coach since Gruden. In fact, Del Rio is one of only seven coaches in Raiders franchise history to depart with a winning record, along with Al Davis (23-16-3), John Rauch (33-8-1), John Madden (103-32-7), Tom Flores (83-53), Art Shell (56-52) and Gruden (38-26). The Raiders had high expectations coming into the 2017 season after improving from 7-9 in Del Rio's first year to 12-4 in 2016, the franchise's first playoff appearance in 14 years. But Carr regressed under first-year offensive coordinator Todd Downing, and Ken Norton, Jr. was fired as defensive coordinator after 10 games. The Raiders got next to nothing out of their first- and second-round draft picks: Cornerback Gareon Conley and safety Obi Melifonwu played a combined seven games and both ended the season on injured reserve. "It hurts when something sucky happens to someone you care about. We weren't good enough for him," Carr said of Del Rio after Sunday's game. "We have to take our ownership as players and I think that's where we're at right now. We're kind of angry that we let it get to that and we're upset at ourselves. We understand the business part of it. But as players -- I talked with Khalil Mack -- our job is to come back better and hungry. We've been through some hard times together, and this is right up there with it." Running back Marshawn Lynch, who came out of retirement to sign with the Raiders before the season, said of the firing, "It's a business." Mack, named to his third straight Pro Bowl, said he would "keep my thoughts to myself" when asked about Del Rio's firing.	2018-04-22T20:22:19Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945648.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180422193501-20180422213501-00164.warc.gz	en	0.984708	835	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-17", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:94cbfdd0-fd1b-4a4f-82ce-0b1531f07141>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21928301/oakland-raiders-fire-coach-jack-del-rio" }

Oral health isn't only important to your mouth, but also to your own general health generally. A lot of people don't understand there is a link to what's happening in your mouth which could impact the remainder of the human body. Your mouth, gums, and teeth may also be giving you valuable clues about other health issues, therefore it's very important to look closely at the signs. Obtaining routine dental hygiene and regular checkups is your initial step to ensuring your dental health is what's should be. The mouth area is a breeding ground for germs. Even though the majority of these germs pose no danger, occasionally dangerous bacteria may take hold and trigger frequent oral issues. You can know more about oral health at https:/ Image Source: Google While great oral hygiene like regular brushing and flossing aids keep much of those bacteria under management, sometime it is insufficient. Occasionally other things affect the general health of the mouth that may cause a disturbance of the normal balance of bacteria within the mouth, leading to such unpleasant ailments such as ailments in the mouth, gum disease, or tooth decay. Anytime the equilibrium of this mouth is angry, it gets you more likely to creating these conditions. Certain medications may lead to this, in addition to some other elements that decrease the total amount of saliva produced in your mouth or undermine the natural protective barriers of their mouth. These conditions may allow for germs from the mouth to enter the bloodstream, causing complications and illness. Gum disease has been associated with such ailments as Endocarditis and Cardiovascular disease. The Endocarditis might be a consequence of germs entering your blood through a dental procedure that cuts down the teeth, or as an immediate outcome of bacteria brought on by gum disease.	2022-05-23T04:51:56Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662555558.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220523041156-20220523071156-00567.warc.gz	en	0.956173	356	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-21", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:f0a1c61b-7cd8-4e69-8f66-4845f44a2621>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.istriadalmaziacards.com/oral-health-and-overall-health-are-related/" }

At last! After a fine lunch, we reassembled in Dalton for the afternoon session. We moved from Alaska to the North Atlantic, and a variety of Norse sites. Tom McGovern kicked it off with an overview of what had been accomplished during the most recent IPY. Much of this is due to the work of various NABO members. He talked about some really neat school outreach programs, including one issuing GPS and camera to students & teachers to record archaeology and in the case of Iceland, place names. He also highlighted a very interesting initiative to develop Konrad Smiarowski talked about zooarchaeology associated with the Vatnahverfi Project, part of the Norse Eastern Settlement, Greenland. The project involved survey and excavation (following NABO common protocols, which make for great inter-site inter-comparability). He was looking at how the Norse immigrants adapted to a new environment with new (to them) resources. He had evidence for the adoption of seal hunting, which the Norse seem not to have done elsewhere, despite the presence of seals, as well as hunting of walrus for ivory and birding. Bones of harp and hooded seals, both of which are migratory, show up even at more inland sites, so it looks like either people are coming to the outer coast to hunt or the seals are being traded inland. It looks like they were net or drive hunting. Things seem to have been going on well, but increasing amounts of ice seem to have changed things, driving people to intensify sealing at the same time as it was affecting the local seal populations. Things ended badly, as we know. Ramona Harrison gave an interesting paper on the farm Gásir and its hinterlands, including various types of landscape (hayfields, pastures, etc). She is working on the zooarchaeology as part of a long-term human eco-dynamics in Eyjafjörður, Northeast Iceland. Unfortunately, my notes on this appear not to have been saved, so I won’t go into more detail, so as not to mis-report anything Ramona said, but it was quite interesting, and reports should be on the NABO website soon, if they’re not there now. The final paper was given by Seth Brewington on work in the Faroes, particularly at Undir Junkarinsflotti. It was abandoned in the 1300s due to repeated sand blows, which were a problem at that time in a number of places on the eastern side of the North Atlantic. The paper dealt with the zooarchaeology, which is quite unique as bone preservation generally seems to be bad in the Faroes, and the idea of keeping bone is still relatively new. The inhabitants seem to have been eating lots of birds (mostly puffins), even in comparison to other Norse sites, where the bird consumption seems to drop after the earliest settlement period.	2022-05-23T17:32:30Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662560022.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220523163515-20220523193515-00778.warc.gz	en	0.981384	602	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-21", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:0281b334-a68f-4c38-b1bd-2c3966f0d717>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://iceandtime.net/2011/02/14/18th-arctic-conference-part-5-day-2-pm/?shared=email&msg=fail" }
The Death Of Bibi Netanyahu's Dad Brings out a Low-Life Posted By: Yidwithlid 4/30/2012 6:50:32 AM The Lid, by Jeff Dunetz Original Article In order to understand where someone may be heading, sometimes it makes sense to understand where they came from. In the case of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, you can see those roots in everything he does. Benzion Netanyahu, Bibi's dad was a noted scholar of the history of Jews in Spain. He knows deeply the horrors that tends to happen to Jews when they don't have their own state. Benzion learned the "Zionist ropes" as an assistant to the Zionist philosopher Zeev Jabotinsky.

The start of 2018 has seen a flurry of activity in the tobacco harm reduction sphere, with many potentially significant events taking place in relation to several different products. In light of this, it is worth revisiting the NNA’s stated aims to reinforce why we are central to this debate and supportive of Tobacco Harm Reduction in all its forms. As our About Us page states, the NNA seeks to encourage “a mature public and organisational understanding of the potential of safer nicotine products for reducing cigarette smoking, including their safety and efficacy”. This is as true for tobacco-based solutions as it is for vapour-based ones and extends to other novel harm reduction innovations currently in existence or yet to come to market. It is important to highlight this because there have been some who have been puzzled, for example, as to why the NNA were instrumental in a case challenging the EU’s ban on snus. The NNA is not, and has never been, solely devoted to promoting e-cigarettes and vaping even though many of our most prominent advocates have been drawn from that avenue out of smoking. We have provided many updates to the snus challenge and are still optimistic that – with the snus case being merely one part of our work - we may be part of a sea change in attitudes towards harm reduction, a concept which is not new or confined to nicotine and tobacco, but instead has a long history of saving lives in HIV prevention, safer drug delivery and road fatalities amongst other areas. Harm reduction relies on rejecting binary thinking and argues that often the best solutions are those which – although perhaps counter-intuitive – will deliver optimal results without heed to ideology or blind groupthink. Our support for snus – undeniably a tobacco product – is based on the fact that it has been proven in jurisdictions where sale is permitted to provide a safer alternative to smoking and therefore to save lives. To reduce harm, in other words. By the same token, heated tobacco has also been in the spotlight recently and the NNA also supports this increased activity to assess its efficacy. Early research suggests that it offers another promising alternative for those who have chosen to reduce their exposure to the risks of smoking but may not take to NRT or vaping. In January, an application by PMI’s iQos for making a reduced risk claim was rejected by an FDA committee but it is expected that the right to market the product in the US will be approved. Market analysts are confident that claims of ‘heat not burn’ tobacco to be markedly less harmful than smoking will follow once the science has been evaluated, perhaps as soon as the end of this year. Likewise, in keeping with the UK government’s commitment in its Tobacco Control Plan to assess evidence on novel nicotine delivery systems, the UK Committee on Toxicity reported at the turn of the year that heated tobacco is likely to be less risky than lit tobacco and exposes consumers to between 50-90% fewer harmful compounds. This is the essence of harm reduction which is why the NNA is supportive of further research to examine the potential in these products. Indeed, just last week the government’s Science and Technology Committee took evidence at Portcullis House about reduced risk products and included heated tobacco in its remit. On the horizon are more opportunities for tobacco harm reduction, with novel products such as tobacco-free snus being available in some countries and rumours that these may be rolled out in the UK too. Other options such as dissolvables and nicotine films/strips may all contribute in the future to a diverse range of nicotine products which can deliver reduced harm while also satisfying what is a vast market for nicotine which is never going to go away. The NNA exists to promote tobacco harm reduction - a term understood by governments, NGOs and even the WHO to describe ways of reducing harm from cigarette smoking without necessarily giving up the use of nicotine – and we will never shy away from that. Anything from smoking fewer cigarettes through to total abstinence are harm reduction of varying degrees. There are no downsides if harm and risk are being reduced. To borrow a rhetorical turn of phrase from the Prime Minister, tobacco harm reduction means tobacco harm reduction, and the NNA is happy to add its support to anything which delivers that goal.	2020-05-26T16:57:24Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347391277.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200526160400-20200526190400-00364.warc.gz	en	0.972172	876	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-24", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:a6b12bb4-b854-48a3-9089-1621fb36d980>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://nnalliance.org/blog/231-why-nna" }
So we are all experiencing Covid19 and it has heavily disrupted our lives like no other time I can remember being alive. Being a musician I've had all my gigs the last 2 months cancelled and I started looking to livestreaming in order to connect with people and to make a little extra money in the process. As a musician that makes a living from performing & teaching I rely on both so I can eat and continue to entertain as well as write my own music. It's definitely an interesting time to be alive, but it's up to us to determine what we focus our attention on. Over the past year it's been one of the toughest years personally for me and I've had to really look within myself to be ok. I express myself through my music mostly and I need to dig deep within in order to write about my experiences because I know that if I'm feeling a certain way about some of my experiences that many others are as well. Life has a way to throw us curve balls and really disrupt the way we see our lives, but it's all just a challenge and a learning experience in order to better ourselves. Being a musician I've started to livestream on TWITCH and it's been an interesting experience so far. I've learned a lot in setting up my Twitch account. I even bought a course on how to do that called, "Twitch for Musicians," which definitely fast-tracked my learning for sure! I've had to learn OBS (Open Broadcast Software), which is a FREE software that enables you to livestream to FB, Twitch, Youtube, etc... It's a great software that enables you to get the best audio possible as all those platforms compresses the audio you send to them directly and it allows you to put overlays (text, pic in pic, animations, etc) on top of your video feed like a professional TV Station. I'm also a videographer for over 20 years and even though I picked it OBS very quickly I had to use all my knowledge I've learned over the years in video and computers to do what I needed it to do. Also, since everything is online only right now I've had to learn to give lessons online through Zoom as well. Just the other day I figured out how to broadcast from OBS to Zoom so I could get both camera angles (PIP) and the audio signal into Zoom. It's definitely a process to learn new things in order to adjust to the changes, but again it's up to us to find ways we can connect with people and affect the world in a positive way. I'm starting the writing process again in sorting through what I want to write about and it's not an easy process, but I know I'm the happiest when I'm creating and expressing myself through my music. I'm going to use this blog at least once a week to document this entire process. I will share my experiences with you in order to let you into my world and hopefully to inspire other artists along their own journey in music & life. I hope you are doing well & staying safe through this interesting time in history. Have a great day and don't forget to smile and spread LOVE with everything you do! :) CLICK HERE to go to my Twitch Channel as I Livestream every Mon & Wed @ 7:30 PM.	2022-08-13T05:57:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571909.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813051311-20220813081311-00644.warc.gz	en	0.979775	685	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-33", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:672389a8-5c92-44cc-b9d8-5a7ecff40829>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://archdeaconmusic.com/blog/blog/being-a-musician-during-covid19" }
Joe Conason, the pseudo-journalist who once wrote a piece for Spy magazine accusing George H.W. Bush of cheating on wife, Barbara, without any requisite proof, emerged from anonymity recently. Not much has been heard from Conason since the Clinton era, when he was one of the media’s most ardent defenders of Bill and Hillary – until last week. Creators News Service, the syndicate that distributes both his column and mine, apparently accidentally sent out a column I wrote under his byline. Predictably, Conason flipped out on Twitter about the incident. (I suppose I would have done the same thing if the situation had been reversed. But I expect more people might have noticed the error in that case.) “Creators sent WingNutDaily column under my byline,” Conason Tweeted. “It doesn’t get weirder than that. That is one of the weirdest episodes I’ve seen in a while.” It sure doesn’t. About the incident, Truthdig apologized this way: “Tuesday we posted what seemed like a very strange column by Joe Conason. It turns out that’s because it wasn’t his column. ‘Rand Paul’s Plan to Save the Cities’ seemed to deviate from Conason’s progressive point of view, but we’ve been running him for years and we weren’t about to censor him for taking a libertarian turn in one piece. Today, Conason and his syndicate informed us that he did not write the column. We’re not sure what happened. The column was sent with Joe’s byline, so clearly there was a mistake. Our apologies to Joe, who took a beating, as Christopher Moraff put it on Twitter. Apologies also to our readers, for unintentionally misleading them and closing their comments, along with the column, lest we mislead any others. Update: We’ve learned that Joseph Farah was the author of the column in question. Apologies to him, as well.” Again, it’s one thing to apologize, it’s another to leave posted the column I wrote under Conason’s byline! It’s probably his most well-read column of all time. (Weird, too, is that is dated 2012.) The controversy got me to thinking, however. Joe Conason and I have a lot in common. We’re about the same age. We grew up a few miles away from each other in the New York area. We both edited underground newspapers in high school. We were both lefties at birth. We share a first name. But that’s where the similarities end. I grew up – and started working for the “mainstream media” when it could still be referred to that way with a straight face. Conason never grew up. Instead he continued working for what we euphemistically call “alternative papers” – meaning they were further to the left than the Big Media, the establishment corporate media. (Today it’s a distinction without a difference.) Conason began and remains an activist working undercover as a journalist. He’s an ardent defender of all causes “progressive” in nature – the same knee-jerk hack who defended Bill Clinton’s real-life, well-documented womanizing and lied about Bush’s imaginary trysts. He’s a caricature of what we’ve come to expect from the media today. He’s never done any real journalism – the kind that requires actual standards of decency and accuracy like the American press still understood as late as the 1970s and 1980s when I was working for major market dailies – and running them. It’s a strange fate indeed to see one of my columns running under his byline – anywhere, anytime. It would certainly be his first sensible one. In case you see it, Conason is not guilty of plagiarism, just the beneficiary of a mistake by our syndicate. Weird things happen in the age of the Internet. Just want you to know that Conason has not seen the light yet. Perhaps he never will.	2015-05-29T11:22:50Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929978.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00187-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.965303	897	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:4c3d90bf-79fc-41dc-b5d5-f532b3daf751>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.wnd.com/2013/12/joe-conasons-first-sensible-column/" }

The invention relates to computer systems and, more particularly, to modular systems. Computer systems include many elements such as processors, memory and input/output (I/O) devices. It is known to provide some of these elements as "modules" that plug in to a motherboard and interface with the other elements over various buses (e.g., Control, Data, Address). Examples of such modules are processor boards, video boards, memory devices, memory expansion boards, keyboards, etc. The functionality and interface connections of a particular module varies, from architecture to architecture, and in some cases, a "newer" module with increased functionality is not "downwardly" compatible with an earlier version of the module. Hence, difficult choices must be made in the specification of a module, in light of design constraints. A further consideration in the design of a module is the thermal characteristics thereof. As semiconductor devices become smaller and faster, the problem of heat dissipation tends to become exacerbated. Hence, packaging considerations are also paramount. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved manufacturing and packaging techniques for a computer system module. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a computer system module using chip on board assembly techniques. It is a further object of the present invention to combine microprocessors, ASICs and fast memory into a single integrated assembly. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a standardized interface to a computer system module. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an interface that is upwardly expandable. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a computer system core module that is optimized for layout. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a computer system core module that has self-contained, timing control. It is a further object of the present invention to provide improved thermal characteristics in a computer system module. According to the invention, a computer system core module includes a central processing unit (CPU), a floating-point accelerator (FPA), a read/write buffer (RWB), cache memory, a clock generator, buffers, and reset logic, each of which is assembled to a printed circuit board (PCB) using chip on board techniques. The CPU, FPA and RWB are preferably mounted as bare dies. The reset logic provides reset signals for the CPU, FPA and RWB in response to external (to the module) stimuli. The signal composition of the module includes: Configuration Buffer Enable (CfgEn); Page Write (PgWrt); Block Match (BlkMtch); Byte Write Mask (RWMsk); and Test Enable (TestEn), in addition to more "standard" signals. All external signals are provided to the module via a connector, from a "motherboard" of an external system. The layout of the various components on the printed circuit board (PCB) minimizes transmission line effects, such as transmission line delay (tD) and signal reflections, by keeping trace lengths as short as possible, and no line terminations are required. Also, the RWB (110) is advantageously positioned in close proximity to the CPU and the connector. A heat sink (heat spreader) is provided for critical semiconductor devices, such as the CPU and the FPA processor chips. The heat sink includes a broad, flat heat-dissipating section and a button protruding from a surface thereof. An unpackaged device is mounted to the button, with a thermally and electrically conductive adhesive, and is inserted through a hole in the PCB. The broad flat section of the heat sink is bonded with adhesive to one side of the PCB, and connections to the die are made with bond wires to a conductive layer on the other side of the PCB. The heat sink is advantageously employed for biasing the semiconductor device. Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become evident in light of the following description thereof.

In the description, the following terms and abbreviations are or may be used: central processing unit, or processor (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), Dynamic RAM (DRAM), Static RAM (SRAM), Integrated Circuit (IC), Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), Programmable Logic Device (PLD), Programmable Array Logic (PAL), Programmable Logic Array (PLA), Input/Output (I/O), kilo (k), mega (m). Further, various signals are designated by generally accepted acronyms, such as enable (EN), read (RD), write (WR), fetch (FTCH), memory (M), data (D), instruction (I), test (TEST), acknowledge (ACK), block (BLK), etc., which may be compounded to provide descriptive signal names. In some cases, signal descriptions include the nomenclature [##:#], which indicates the total signal complement of a byte-wide signal bus. In some cases, a signal name is followed by an asterisk (""), which indicates the negative complement of that signal. FIG. 1 shows a computer system core module 100, and the general relationship between the following major elements: A Floating-Point Accelerator (FPA) 102, a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 104, a clock generator (CLOCK GEN) 106, buffers 108, a Read-Write Buffer (RWB) 110, reset logic 112, a data cache (DCache) 114, an instruction cache (ICache) 116, a control bus (Control) 118, a data bus (Data) 120, an address bus (Address) 122 and a connector 124. Various currently available components are suitably employed in the module 100, namely: for the CPU 104, an LR3000 High Performance RISC Processor; for the FPA 102, an LR3010 Floating-Point Accelerator; and for the RWB 110, an LR3220 Read-Write Buffer, all of which are available from LSI Logic Corporation, Milpitas, CA. (Specification sheets for these devices are available from LSI Logic Corporation.) The LR3000 Microprocessor (CPU) is a MIPS (trademark of MIPS Computer systems Inc.) RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) microprocessor, and includes on-chip memory management and support for up to three coprocessors, including the LR3010 FPA (102), cache interface and control for off-chip caches (114, 116) and main memory control logic which can be interfaced with the LR3220 RWB (110) to improve memory bandwidth. The LR3000's on-chip memory management function is fully associative, employing a 64-entry translation lookaside buffer. The on-chip cache control manages separate external instruction and data caches, of up to 356 Kbytes each, both of which can be accessed during a single CPU cycle. The LR3000 generates all the required cache and main memory control and address signals for attached coprocessors. Each AdrLo line of the CPU is connected to the SRAMs (126, FIG. 4A) of the caches 114, 116 and to the RWB 110. The LR3010 Floating-Point Accelerator (FPA) provides high-speed, floating point capability for systems based on the LR3000 CPU (106). The organization of the of the FPA architecture is similar to that of the LR3000 CPU, and allows for optimization of both integer and floating-point performance. The LR3010 FPA connects "seamlessly" to the LR3000 CPU, and since both units receive instructions in parallel, floating-point instructions can be initiated at the same single cycle rate as fixed-point instructions. The LR3220 Read-Write Buffer (RWB) is the main interface between the CPU 104 and the remainder of the computer system 100. It provides the buffering necessary for decoupling the internal address and data buses, 122 and 120. It enhances performance of MIPS architecture based systems by buffering write and read operations. Using the LR3220 RWB, systems can perform memory write operations at the cycle rate of the processor (104), instead of stalling the processor to write data to memory. On memory read operations, the system (100) uses the RWB 110 to pass the read address to main memory (not shown), and latch the read data from memory. The LR3220 RWB generates parity, and then passes the data and parity to the processor 104. A single LR3220 RWB provides six-deep write buffering and one level of read buffering for 32 bits of address and 32 bits of data. It operates at the system clock rate. The instruction and data caches 116 and 114, respectively, are suitably implemented with 8K×20 SRAMs (Static RAMs) with on-board address latches, such as Motorola MCM62820-23 devices. Three devices would be required to provide a 60-bit cache word size separately for each cache. (See SRAMs 126 in FIG. 4A.) Suitable SRAMs are Motorola MCM62820 devices. As shown, there is no additional buffering between the CPU 104 and the caches 114 and 116, and there is no hardware support for multiprocessing. However, these features could be added so that an external system would have access to invalidate and/or read the data cache. The clock generator 106 is a four phase device generating clock signals for the CPU, FPA and RWB, in response to an external signal (MRst). The buffer 108 buffers I/O between the external system and the CPU, FPA and RWB via the control bus 118. A suitable device is a 74ALS244 tri-state buffer. FIGS. 2A and 2B show in greater detail the reset logic 112, which performs the following functions: a. generating an internal reset signal for the CPU 104, FPA 102 and RWB 110, in response to an external module reset signal (MRst, See Table 1, FIG. 3B), which is asynchronous; b. sequencing CPU interrupt requests (Intr) and RWB Acknowledge (WAck) signals through various (W, X, Y, Z) configuration cycles, according to configuration information presented during reset to the interrupt request (IntRq) and read/write acknowledge (WAck) module input signals. c. Providing a configuration enable signal (CfgEn) at the appropriate time during reset. This signal may be connected to the output enable (OE) pin of the buffer 108. Inputs to the buffer may come from configuration jumpers (not shown) on the mother board (402, FIG. 4C), and its outputs are connected directly to the IntRq and WAck module inputs (Table 1, FIG. 3B). d. Buffering and resynchronizing the CPU Intr and RWB Acknowledge signals. This function increases timing margins, especially regarding CPU interrupt requests (Intr). e. Configuring the module 100 for testing by setting the CPU 104 and FPA (102) in the tristate mode. This function gives the ability to use an external probe to drive the Cache (114, 116) and RWB (110) in lieu of the CPU (104). These functions (a. through e.) are suitably implemented with a single GAL22V10-15 or P22V10-15 PAL device. FIG. 2A shows the input and output pin assignment for the reset logic 112. FIG. 2B is a state diagram illustrating the function of the reset logic. The reset logic is described in greater detail in the appended pages 12-22 and 68-76 of "LRM301 Design Specification". The computer system module 100 interfaces to an external system (not shown) with a total of 93 signals. These signals are suitable provided to the external system over a 100-pin connector (124, FIG. 4A), such as a 100-pin AMP uStrip (Trademark of AMP, Inc.). FIGS. 3A and 3B show the general composition of those signals, which are described in greater detail in the appended pages 1-11 of "LRM301 RISC CORE MODULE". FIGS. 4A and 4C show the physical layout of the module 100. FIG. 4B shows the topographical layout of the components of the module, and corresponds to FIG. 4A. In FIG. 4C, the module 100 is shown mounted to a motherboard 402 of an external system such as a workstation, via the connector 124 and a standoff element 414. FIG. 4D shows a detail of the heat sink arrangement. FIGS. 5A and 5B show an alternate layout 500 for the module. The FPA 102, CPU 104, CLOCK GEN 106, RWB 110, Reset Logic Chip 112, Cache SRAMs 114 and 116 (Six SRAMs 126 comprise the cache memory), and connector 124 components (discussed with respect to FIG. 1) are all mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) 404. As discussed hereinafter, the processors (CPU and FPA) are mounted as bare, unpackaged dies to the board via heat sinks, and the RWB is also mounted to the board as an unpackaged die. The unpackaged dies (CPU, FPA, RWB) are bonded to wiring patterns on the PCB and are covered with two layers of epoxy: a first layer 444 of die coat material, such as thermoset epoxy, and a second layer of "glop top" epoxy 446 (see FIG. 4D). In this example of packaging technology, the PCB 404 is generally square, measuring 3.5 inches (89 mm) in height (h) by 3.5 inches in width (w), has an "upper" edge 404a, an opposite "lower" edge 404b, two opposing side edges 404c and 404d, and two opposing faces--a front face (surface) 404e and a back (bottom) face 404f. The overall thickness (t) of the module 100 is approximately 5/8 inch (17 mm). As best viewed in FIG. 4B, the PCB 404 is divided into topographical regions 406-412, as follows: A first region 406 extends from the upper edge 404a of the PCB 404 approximately one inch (25 mm), or 29% of the PCB height (h), towards the lower edge 404b thereof. A second region 408 extends from the first region 406 approximately one and one-quarter inches (32 mm), or 36% of the PCB height (h), towards the lower edge 404b thereof. A third region 410 extends from the second region 409 approximately three-quarters of an inch (19 mm), or 21% of the PCB height (h), towards the lower edge 404b thereof. A fourth region 412 extends approximately one-half inch (13 mm), or 14% of the PCB height (h), to the bottom edge thereof. Further, the second region 408 is subdivided into two sub-regions -a larger sub-region 408a, comprising about 70% of the region 408 and extending from one side edge of the PCB 404 towards the other side edge thereof, and a smaller sub-region 408b comprising the remaining approximately 30% of the region 408. Both faces of the PCB are used to mount components, in an efficient layout. To the extent possible, components are mounted one opposite the other (see e.g., the mounting of the SRAMs 126). In general terms, the first region 406 comprises about 25-35% of the PCB "floorplan", the second region 408 comprises about 30-40% of the PCB floorplan, the larger sub-region 408a comprises 60-80% of the second region 408, the smaller sub-region 408b comprises about 30-40% of the second region 408, the third region 410 comprises about 15-25% of the PCB floorplan, and the fourth region 412 comprises about 10-20% of the PCB floorplan. Functionally, memory (particularly cache memory 114 and 116) is disposed in the first region 406, processing (CPU 104 and FPA 102) is disposed in the second region 408, and additional control logic (clock drivers 108, reset logic 112, RWB 110) is disposed in the third region 410, and the external connections (connector 124) are made in the fourth region 412. (A portion of control logic, namely the clock generator 106, is disposed in the smaller sub-region 408b.) Components are distributed on the two faces 404e and 404f of the PCB 404, and are connected thereto via corresponding conductive wiring layers 416, 418 (see FIG. 4D) on either face of the board. The board itself is made of FR4 or BT epoxy, both of which are standard board substrate compositions. A portion of memory (e.g., three of the six SRAMs 126 comprising cache memory 114 and 116) and a portion of the "peripheral" devices (e.g., buffers 108, and reset logic 112) are disposed on the front face 404e of the board 404. Heat sinks 420 (discussed hereinafter) are also disposed on the front face 404e. Processing components (e.g., CPU 104 and FPA 102), the RWB 110, the connector 124, the remaining portion of the peripheral devices (e.g., clock generator 106) and the remaining SRAMs 126 are disposed on the opposite, back surface 404f of the PCB. Notably, components are not mounted opposite the processors (CPU, FPA), but SRAMs are mounted on opposing faces of the PCB. The layout of components (module topography) described above advantageously utilizes a large portion of the surface area of both sides of the board, and minimizes trace (transmission line) lengths, and provides for thermal efficiency. Transmission line effects are minimized by keeping trace lengths as short as possible. A rule of thumb is that if the signal transmission time (rise/fall time) is more than four times greater than the transmission line delay (tD), transmission line effects may be neglected. More particularly, for a PCB with a continuous ground plane and a signal trace on the adjacent layer: For PCBs made of FR4, Er is approximately 4.8, so tD =1.75 ns/ft=0.15 ns/in=0.006 mm. This suggests that if a signal runs along a 4 inch (100 mm)" trace, its transition time should be greater than 2.4 nanoseconds (ns). BT epoxy, with a dielectric constant between 4.0 and 4.5@1 MHz, is also a suitable choice for the PCB material. The physical location of the RWB 110 on the module is chosen to provide the shortest possible connection path to the connector 124 and to the CPU 104. In the physical example discussed herein, most of the traces converging at the RWB 110 are shorter than two inches (50 mm), or less than 60% of the longest board side dimension (h or w). Heat is inevitably generated during operation of a semiconductor device, and may become destructive of the device if left unabated. Therefore, it is generally well known to provide some sort of heat sink for such devices. Generally, heat sinks take one of two forms. They may be integral with the device package or they may be external to the device package. In either case, heat sinks generally include a thermal mass in intimate heat conductive relationship to the semiconductor device, and may involve air convection or forced air cooling of the thermal mass. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4C, two heat sinks (heat spreaders) 420 are disposed on the front surface 404e of the PCB 404. As shown in FIG. 4C, when the module 100 is mated to the motherboard 402, the front surface 404e of the PCB is the "external" surface thereof, for receiving a flow of cooling air. Each heat sink 420 advantageously dissipates heat generated by the processing components (e.g., CPU 104 and FPA 102), when operating. According to an aspect of the present invention, the heat sink 420 also provides for biasing of the (processor) chips being cooled thereby. As best viewed in FIG. 4D, each heat sink 420 is generally a flat, thin plate (424) of thermally conductive material, such as copper, or copper/tungsten alloy. Copper is a preferred choice for its heat spreading characteristics, while tungsten gives advantageous thermal expansion performance. Alternatively, the heat sink can be formed of aluminum or a ceramic material, such as Beryllium Oxide or Aluminum Nitrate. Preferably, the heat sink is electrically conductive, as discussed hereinbelow. In the context of the example of module dimensions set forth above, each heat sink 420 measures approximately 1 inch (25 mm) wide by 1 inch high by one-eighth inch (3 mm) thick, and is substantially larger in area than the semiconductor device being cooled, such as six to eight times larger. For a copper heat sink, the thickness of the section 424 is on the order of one millimeter. For a copper/tungsten heat sink, the thickness is on the order of three millimeters. A preferred copper/tungsten alloy contains approximately 15% tungsten. FIG. 4D shows one heat sink 420 and corresponding semiconductor device 422 (e.g., CPU 104). As used herein, the term "semiconductor device" means a bare, unpackaged semiconductor chip. The heat sink 420 comprises a flat, broad, heat dissipating section 424, having an "inner" surface 426 and an "outer" surface 428. The heat sink 420 further comprises a smaller, central "button" 430, preferably integrally formed with the broad section 424, and extending from the inner surface 426 thereof a distance approximately equal to the thickness (t) of the PCB 404 (including cladding 416 and 418). The button 430 should not stand taller than the thickness (t) of the PCB 404, and may be up to 0.01 inch (0.25 mm) shorter. The button 430 is square and is approximately the same size as the die of the semiconductor device 422 (e.g., 3/8 inch or 10 mm). As shown in FIG. 5B, the die 422 may reside nearly entirely within the through hole 434. The inner surface of the heat sink is adhered to one side of the PCB with a suitable adhesive (not shown). The adhesive need not be electrically conductive, as the heat sink is wired to the PCB, as discussed hereinbelow. The non-circuit side of the semiconductor device (die) 422 is mounted to the button 430 by a dollop of thermally and electrically conductive epoxy 432. Silver-based epoxy compounds are suitable for this application, in that they are thermally and electrically conductive, and are able, when applied with sufficient thickness, to alleviate stresses due to the different thermal expansion properties of the heat sinks, board and dies. The electrical conductivity of the epoxy 432 allows for biasing the die. For a typical die, which is n+, this allows a +5 volt bias to be applied to the die via the heat spreader. Even though unnecessary for operating the chip, this bias improves noise immunity. This biasing requirement argues for the use of copper for the heat sink. The PCB 404 is provided with a through hole 434 slightly larger than either the button 430 or the semiconductor device 422 so that the assembled heat sink 420 and device 422 may be mounted to the front side 404e of the PCB 404 by inserting the device 422 and button 430 through the through hole 434. The inner surface 426 of the heat sink is then fixed to the lower wiring layer 416 of the PCB, such as with a suitable adhesive. Bond wires 436 are shown connecting bond pads 438 of the chip to trace pads 440 on the wiring layer 418 of the PCB 404. Many such connections would typically be made to corresponding pads on the semiconductor device. Additionally, a bond wire 442 connects the heat spreader to the wiring layer for applying the aforementioned +5 v bias to the die. As best viewed in FIG. 4A, the overall dimensions on the heat sink 420 are approximately one inch (25 mm) square, covering approximately seven (six to eight) times the area of the chip being cooled (e.g., CPU 104 or FPA 102). Alternatively, the two heatsinks 420 can be combined into a single, rectangular heat sink having two buttons 430 (one for each chip). With a single heatsink mounting the two processor components (CPU and FPA), there is an averaging effect which benefits from the fact that the two processing components usually operate at different times. Combining processors, ASICs and fast memory in a single integrated assembly provides a feasible approach to high volume, cost sensitive application. The multichip module of this invention allows for packaging and partitioning at the chip level, internalizes critical timing, minimizes inductance and capacitance, and maximizes thermal flow.

“U.S. consumer spending increased by the most in more than 9-1/2 years in March as households stepped up purchases of motor vehicles, but price pressures remained muted, with a key inflation measure posting its smallest annual gain in 14 months,” Lucia Mutikani reports for Reuters. “The surge in consumer spending reported by the Commerce Department on Monday sets a stronger base for growth in consumption heading into the second quarter after it slowed sharply in the first three months of the year,” Mutikani reports. “Fed officials are scheduled to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to assess the economy and deliberate on the future course of monetary policy. The U.S. central bank in March dropped forecasts for any interest rate increases this year, halting a three-year policy tightening campaign.” “Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, surged 0.9 percent. That was the biggest rise since August 2009,” Mutikani reports. “March’s surge in real consumer spending suggested an acceleration in consumption was likely in the second quarter. Consumer spending increased at a 1.2 percent annualized rate in the first quarter, the slowest in a year. The overall economy grew at a 3.2 percent rate last quarter… a strong labor market and still very high savings are seen underpinning spending. Wages rose 0.4 percent in March after advancing 0.3 percent in the prior month. Savings fell to $1.03 trillion in March from $1.16 trillion in February.” Read more in the full article here.

In a brazen incident, a few families of an itinerant tribe (Narikorava) in Tiruchendur, Tuticorin district, killed nearly a dozen jackals from a nearby forest, skinned them and displayed them along with beads in a busy market in the temple town. An activist, T. Murugavel of Environmental Monitoring and Action Initiating (EMAI), said he was in Tiruchendur last week. When he came out after darshan at a temple, he was shocked to see the dozen skinned jackals with their heads displayed along with the beads in a public market. The families claimed that it was not wrong to kill the jackals. Further interaction with them revealed that they used snares to trap the jackals, which were then clubbed to death. Later, the body parts were removed and the skull retained with the skin. However, they refused to tell him the forest area from which the scavengers were trapped, he said. Mr Murugavel said superstitions surrounding the animal led to their killing. State Wildlife authorities said the animal is categorised under Schedule II of the Wildlife Protection Act of India 1972 and killing and displaying the trophy would attract severe punishment along with imprisonment and penalty. Despite strict enforcement of laws to curb poaching, raw meat of jackal was found to be sold in the market. Dinkar Kumar, District Forest Officer, when contacted, said it was shocking and added that any such act would attract severe punishment.

I mentioned that servers receiving a lot of dynamic constructs (typically those generated by client SQL apps/ORMs/LINQ, etc.) can start to consume too much plan cache and have problems with “single-use plans” in my last post titled: Statement execution and why you should use stored procedures. I also mentioned that SQL Server 2008 has an option/feature specifically to help reduce the bloat on the plan cache by only storing a query plan hash the first time a plan is created. First – let’s check to see how your plan cache is currently allocated: (note: updated to decimal(18,2) as a few of you had overflow errors due to high use counts!) SELECT objtype AS [CacheType], COUNT_BIG() AS [Total Plans], SUM(CAST(size_in_bytes AS DECIMAL(18, 2))) / 1024 / 1024 AS [Total MBs], AVG(usecounts) AS [Avg Use Count], SUM(CAST((CASE WHEN usecounts = 1 THEN size_in_bytes ELSE 0 END) AS DECIMAL(18, 2))) / 1024 / 1024 AS [Total MBs – USE Count 1], SUM(CASE WHEN usecounts = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [Total Plans – USE Count 1] FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans GROUP BY objtype ORDER BY [Total MBs – USE Count 1] DESC GO This statement will show you how much of your cache is allocated to single use plans… this query works in 2005 and 2008; however, the primary solution I’m describing here (optimize for adhoc workloads) will only work in SQL Server 2008 and higher. IMPORTANT NOTE / UPDATE: The most important point about this post is that you should be using resources more efficiently by regularly (and programmatically) checking / clearing the ad hoc / prepared plan cache using DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE (‘SQL Plans’)… So, this post is really more about understanding the problem. Check out this post for more information on these numbers as well as cleaning the plan cache: Plan cache, adhoc workloads and clearing the single-use plan cache bloat. If you have a lot of your cache going to plans that are only executed once, then it’s time to clean up the cache and take better advantage of it with plans that are more consistent and more stable. Ideally, this means using more stored procedures and writing these stored procedures effectively for better performance (I’m currently in the midst of doing this in my Optimizing Procedural Code category). However, if you absolutely must use a lot of adhoc SQL, then you should consider upgrading and turning on this new option. It’s an advanced configuration option so you won’t see it until you “show advanced options” and it’s set using sp_configure. There have been some other really good posts out there on how to use this and what this is so I’m just going to bring together some great resources for you to read. The most important post to read (and it’s especially important for those on you on versions of SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 RTM/SP1 [er… why aren’t you on SP2?]) is that plan cache can get out of control. 2005 SP2 and 2008 reduce the total size but there no upper limit (which is again – a GREAT reason for the addition of “optimize for adhoc workloads”). Kalen Delaney talks about how things really work in her SQL Server 2005 SP2 post titled: Did You Know? SP2 does NOT limit the amount of plan cache you can have (key word there is LIMIT). Again, SQL Server doesn’t set an upper limit but it does [drastically] reduce the total size that’s possible (as of SP2). As for even more details on plan caching, recompilation and SQL Server 2008’s better cache control – check out Greg Low’s (blog\|twitter) whitepaper titled: Plan Caching in SQL Server 2008. Taken STRAIGHT from the first section of the whitepaper: SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 SP2 75% of visible target memory from 0-4GB + 10% of visible target memory from 4Gb-64GB + 5% of visible target memory > 64GB SQL Server 2005 RTM and SQL Server 2005 SP1 * 75% of visible target memory from 0-8GB + 50% of visible target memory from 8Gb-64GB + 25% of visible target memory > 64GB SQL Server 2000 * SQL Server 2000 4GB upper cap on the plan cache Finally, lots of additional posts on this topic will give you even more details: - Bob Beauchemin (blog) did a simple post on this while it was still in RC0 here: Performance features in SQL Server 2008 RC0 – Optimize for Adhoc Workloads. - Jose Barreto (blog\|twitter) did a simple post on this and pulls together a few nice resources as well here: SQL Server 2008 Optimize for Ad Hoc Workloads. - Kalen Delaney wrote an article on SQL Server Magazine (note: this article requires a SQL Server Magazine subscription) titled: Managing Plan Cache Size and after the article, she posted a Q&A on the questions she received from the article in a blog post titled: Geek City: Q & A on my Plan Cache Sizing article in SQL Server Magazine. - Books online topics: - Glenn Berry (blog\|twitter) has a post in his DMV A Day series on looking at the plan cache and seeing which statements are causing you grief. Once you see how much cache is being wasted with your single use plans (with the above query) – it’s time to start looking and seeing what they are. His blog post is titled: A DMV A Day – Day 16. NOTE: Be sure to read the subsequent post on these numbers and how to deal with it when your cache is bloated! Next couple of posts: (read this first) Plan cache, adhoc workloads and clearing the single-use plan cache bloat and then read this: Clearing the cache – are there other options?

On the corner of historic Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, California, a gentle glow emits from the headquarters of The Gores Group, a global, private equity firm. Like ripples across still water, the building exudes a sense of calm as light plays between curving glass panels wrapped in an embrace around the exterior. Designed by Belzberg Architects, The Gores Group Headquarters is a masterful example of architectural balance and function. Unmoving but kinetic, striking but calming, this innovative reimagining of an existing office building structure makes a bold statement about the future of sustainable architecture and green building practices in Los Angeles. As Hagy Belzberg, founder of Belzberg Architects, told The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles: “If architects do not address the environmental situation, we are basically missing the greatest opportunity we have.” This ethos of mindful sustainability manifests throughout Belzberg Architects’ structural design and conception for The Gores Group HQ. Careful attention to detail can be felt as one moves around the space, following natural ebbs and flows of energy and human intuition. The result is an optimal work environment for the company’s employees that also, through clever engineering, lessens the structure’s environmental footprint. A complete re-design, The Gores Group Headquarters dazzles the eye with its visual play with California’s most abundant natural resource: sunshine. This energy and beauty is present throughout the building. The most immediate and striking use is enjoyed via the suffusion of sunlight across the seemingly kinetic exterior. By interrogating the idea of re-skinning an existing building, Belzberg Architects combined the concept of a double-layer curtain wall with a progressive use of new material forms. The exterior wall is composed of elements of stone, perforated metal and custom slumped glass that are united into a single visual field. Dancing between opacity and translucence, sunlight travels in and around the flowing curves of glass, teasing with distorted geometric patterns built into the interior wall. The overall effect makes the sprawling 120,000+-square-foot office space appear as delicate as a cloud. Within, a central atrium was carved out of the existing structure to allow natural sunlight to flood the interior. The result is the sense of permeable boundaries where light, air, and employees can pass freely between workspaces. The custom glass exterior is not only a visual delight, but is also woven into the sustainable energy systems of the building, providing superior energy transfer and acoustic cushioning.

Flooring CG Custom Tile and Marble Stone Stoneland USA Wood Spectrum Oak A sculptural staircase pours seamlessly out of the ceiling and offers easy access throughout the building. The soft curves of the stair, lit by LED lights, and its cerused-ash slats provide a comforting, earthen tone. The interior was co-designed byJoan Behnke & Associates. The unity of form between exterior architectural structures and interior details lends an ethereal quality to the workspace. Out on a busy city street, the rejuvenating blessings of sunlight can seem a curse to the exposed. Belzberg and his team sought to optimize the healthful benefits of the sun, while also creating an area of peace and respite by designing an expansive rooftop deck atop The Gores Group HQ. JoshRezac, landscape architect for design studio ma, was engaged to create a unique rooftop garden experience for the space. Spread across two large spaces connected by a bridge, Rezac sought to match the “sculptural and contemporary character of the building.” He selected a variety of non-mainstream plants that created a varied sense of color and texture while also being drought resistant to the California climate. The clever use of cherry trees also provides added shade and solitude for visitors, and the roof terrace is further protected and beautified by a laser cut canopy that casts elaborate shapes in shadow across the space. The sweeping rooftop landscape offers The Gores Group employees, clients, and visitors a refreshing escape from the traditional office world. Belzberg Architects and design studio ma optimized different spaces that can accommodate everything from company parties, individuals in search of solitary reflection, or even executive meetings. At the center of The Gores Group Headquarters, planted securely in the atrium and bathed in regular sunlight, grows a 70 year-old olive tree. An important symbol to the company, it also represents the spirit of the building: The Gores Group Headquarters is a beacon of sustainable building practices, where the traditions of old have deep roots, but there is always space to continue growing into the future.	2018-01-18T09:45:35Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887224.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180118091548-20180118111548-00712.warc.gz	en	0.899075	1,134	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-05", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:c8e0bdf7-2af8-4492-b44e-28ade5d8bf11>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://gbdmagazine.com/2015/19195/" }
Ascension is Spiritual Awakening or Enlightenment, it is a multidimensional event that involves simultaneously an increased frequency of energy, a speeding up of atomic particle pulsation, heightened merkaba spin rates, leading to frequency accretion, dissolution of auric layers, DNA activation and braiding, and an opening and expansion of consciousness. Although we tend toward this description our consciousness already exists at higher expressions so it is equally valid to say that we are becoming progressively aware of the existence of our higher self and are establishing a greater linking system so that our godself is aligned with and integrated into our embodied awareness stream. This is a gradual change in the direction of energy-awareness or focus where a living being becomes increasingly sensitized to interconnection with the environment, with other dimensions of self, and the pre-existing links to God. Direct communion or heightened spiritual experiences called spiritual initiations typically occur as a signpost that another stage of perception has been shifted. Another way to view this process is to say that the geometric patterns of relationship or blueprint energy architecture have undergone changes to their set of connective belief-links which support the building and holding of greater energy and higher frequency. This is the same process we can see reflected in cymatics. The natural process prepares the emotional mental and physical energy substances and thinking-feeling patterns or belief systems to shift in an integrated sense and so this transition experienced with a refined attunement to love, to the true nature of lightbody systems and multidimensionality in a divine sense. Forcing the kundalini to rise through obsessive uses of will and or drug use can trigger a similar kind of awakening but because the inner work is being bypassed the individual is accompanied by relative degrees of molecular compaction, negative ego challenges, and lower astral consciousness attacks and traps from the entities that abide in these dimensions. Those who are unprepared to navigate such nonordinary states of consciousness and dimensions or densities of reality may be subject to a range of traumatic experiences that take lifetimes to heal from. We are a dimensional space that has the freewill choice to absorb whatever energy-awareness we would like into our bio-energetic field. This choice creates a chain of events or timelines which determine the rate of our conscious evolution. Shifting into the highest expression, doing your best to become aware of and resonate to your heart path puts you in a position to experience the fastest and most complete transformation of self in this lifetime. There is no greater purpose than to emerge clear as a re-spiritualized being from the layers of darkness or embodiment existing in temporary ignorance of divine truth.	2019-01-17T15:56:42Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583658988.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190117143601-20190117165601-00299.warc.gz	en	0.933009	535	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-04", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:7c889f43-b0f6-45be-8952-32808afd98d2>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://omnilov3.com/article/ascension/" }
#168: Autumn Brights Hi lovelies! Well what a gorgeous weekend! Mr B headed up to the Welsh borders to visit the absolutely beautiful Iscoyd Park, a venue that’s been on my wishlist for a while now. Oh my, we were not disappointed! I’ll be writing up my review soon, so check back in a few weeks to find out more about our stay! Autumn is slowly creeping up on us, so this week I’m sharing another colour combo that’s just perfect for this time of year, when we’re not yet settling into cosy jumpers and crunching golden leaves. Shades of blue are always beautiful, but add a pop of orange and you’ve got a contemporary, and fun palette with just the right amount of warmth – a combination that’s hot in fashion this season too! I’ve kept some subtle geometric themes running through this board, a contemporary take on ikat patterns, with on-trend chevrons and stripes in tones of blue, aqua, orange and tangerine. As ever with modern schemes, less is more. I’d keep the flowers to the bouquets and buttonholes and create this fab DIY chevron backdrop from the Glitter Guide to create a focal point for your ceremony and behind the top table. Keeping it simple, cover the tables with tall, elegant dinner candles in bold, bright shades which add a warm glow as the evening goes on, find the DIY on Martha Stewart. Are you celebrating this Autumn? We’d love to hear what colours you’ve picked for this transitional time of year, leave a comment below!

(A statement about the MARS collective’s failure to speak about race and center people of color in a panel discussion we hosted.) On January 27, the MARS Collective held a panel discussion about prison abolition. We would like to apologize for that event – how it was organized, framed and moderated. Because we did not think carefully about the panel and because of poor planning, we created an event that reinscribed white supremacy. (This statement is being prepared long after the event. We received feedback about the event in mid-February and at that time one of the panel organizers met with several people and emailed out a shorter, non-collective-approved statement about the panel similar to this larger statement. Then that panel organizer had a family health crisis and did not work on the statement for several months. We should have had the statement done sooner. It should not have taken this long. In our reflection on this event and the statement, we are considering how we should have handled our response better.) White privilege and poor planning led us to hold an event about the prison industrial complex with only white speakers, speakers whose work touched on but was not focused on prison abolition. We had trouble getting the panel scheduled and had a series of speaker cancellations and other planning problems, but this does not excuse the nature of the event. We should have recognized that a meaningful discussion of prison abolition could not happen with only the speakers who were able to attend. We should have either canceled or refocused the event so that it was about sharing of information about specific prison resistance or prisoner support projects, based in our speakers’ experience. Because we did not build our event around our speakers’ strengths, we effectively tokenized the speaker about transgender and prison issues, creating the impression that she had been invited not for what she had to say about the prisoner support work she does but in order to appear “inclusive”. This created a very painful and stressful situation, not only causing emotional harm but putting further burden on someone who does valuable work. It also gave the impression that it is acceptable to use the presence of marginalized people to legitimate white supremacist practice and ideas. By tokenizing this speaker, we also made trans people and their friends attending the panel feel like we don’t see trans people as real, important, full people. This tokenization was typical of the glib nature of the event – we also skimmed and oversimplified many important aspects of the prison industrial complex: We discussed the racist nature of the prison industrial complex only in passing, although racism is central to both the purpose and the functioning of the PIC. We did not name our own privilege as a largely white and middle class collective or talk about how we as individuals and as a group have been affected by and have benefited from the existence of the prison industrial complex. We did not address these things effectively during the event. Many attendees, particularly people of color, were made to feel marginalized and their experience devalued. Rather than creating an event where there was mutuality and solidarity, we centered white people as knowers and speakers over and above people of color. We deeply regret the pain and frustration we caused, the more so because white supremacy is endemic to majority-white activist groups, so we were sustaining and recreating a problem that already exists. We also regret that we had the chance to provide a forum for an important conversation about prison abolition and instead re-centered the very kinds of white, cisgender and class privilege that support the prison industrial complex. About the prison industrial complex: The prison industrial complex (PIC) is the result of white supremacy and perpetuates white supremacy. Failing to center this in our discussion of the PIC is like leaving the sun out of a discussion of the solar system – it renders every other aspect of the discussion disorganized and baffling. The PIC is a continuation of Jim Crow and of laws which pathologize working class lives. The United States is organized around the prison-industrial complex. 1. People of color, especially men of color, are targeted by the PIC. Thirty percent of the US population are people of color, but people of color make up 60 percent of the prison population. One in three black men will go to prison. African Americans are more than twice as likely to be arrested as whites in similar situations and are four times as likely to experience police violence during arrest. Youth of color are far more likely than white youth to be arrested as punishment at school, to be tried as adults and to be sent to adult prisons. 2. The prison industrial complex organizes white people in support of white supremacist practices. For working class and middle class people, the PIC creates jobs as prison guards, prison administrators, social service providers whose work supports prisons and the companies which make and sell prison supplies and equipment. For middle class and wealthy people, the PIC creates investment opportunities, not only in private prison companies but in the companies that supply prisons and supply law enforcement. When the wealthy view the prison industry as a good place to invest, it is natural that wealthy politicians support increasing prison sentences and giving the police and the courts more power. Prison corporations routinely suggest to politicians that the government use prisons as a job-creation scheme. The economic power of the PIC provides institutional and organizational support to white supremacist beliefs. 3. The prison industrial complex criminalizes the daily lives of working class people, youth and queer and trans people particularly people of color. Homelessness; sex work; selling or using drugs somewhere other than a bourgeois private home; panhandling; car breakdowns; and lack of access to privacy, credit, relatively safe working conditions and relatively safe transit options render many working class people, youth and queer and trans people vulnerable to arrest and prosecution. 4. The prison industrial complex targets immigrants for profit and racist political gain. Prison companies, especially the Corrections Corporation of America, worked behind the scenes to write and pass Arizona’s SB1070, which gives the state immense powers to harass, profile and detain people of color. Prison corporations are lobbying now to build detention centers all around the US along with providing advice to legislators on “keeping them full”. 5. In both prisons and detention centers, medical care is routinely withheld, people are unprotected from racist, transphobic, homophobic and sexist violence, guards instigate or participate in such violence and everything from books to family visits to exercise is withheld at the whim of guards and administrators. Transgendered prisoners are frequently held in solitary or imprisoned as the wrong gender; hormones and other medical necessities are routinely withheld. This list is not exhaustive; the PIC hurts people in many more ways that we enumerate here. About centering white people: Our event centered white people and white perspectives. Some reasons that this is problematic: 1. People of color should speak as equal participants in any political discussion and should speak, should be centered, in any discussion about the experiences, needs and political work of people of color. People of color are the authorities on the experiences, needs and political work of people of color. This is a matter of courtesy and respect as well as a matter of practicality – white people, even the most informed and well-intentioned, cannot have the knowledge or experience to speak in place of people of color. 2. Under white supremacy, white people position themselves as knowers and authorities. Not only are white opinions given more weight, but white people are encouraged to believe that we can know and understand everything better than anyone else. White people often believe incorrectly that we can speak as authorities about the experiences, beliefs and inner lives of people of color. 3. By centering white people, we squeeze out, fail to support and exclude scholars, activists and community members of color. On a basic level, this means that people of color don’t get authority and recognition. Although we don’t employ anybody ourselves, the systematic exclusion of people of color and their replacement by white ‘experts’ means that things like speaking opportunities, writing assignments, academic credibility, paid speaking engagements and jobs often go to white people who have spoken over and about people of color. Here, speaking and writing about PIC violence against people of color actually generates jobs and fame for white people. 4. When we center white people, we render impossible an environment of mutuality and solidarity. It is impossible to feel mutuality and solidarity when a hierarchy of authority is created, with some people as the knowers and some people as the subjects of knowledge, and when some people are spoken about instead of spoken with. Even if the content of our talk is against white supremacy , the form of our talk recreates it. 5. The way we ran the panel hurt people in our community and made them feel angry, frustrated, marginalized and unvalued. No matter what values we claim to hold, if we can’t pay attention to and care for our comrades – not even when they are right there in front of us – what good can we do? Steps we are taking 1. We have sent out an initial email apologizing for the panel. 2. We have met with and will continue to meet with anyone affected by this who would like to talk about it in person. 3. We are posting this statement on our website and publicizing it. 4. We are restructuring the way we plan events so that all events need to be closely reviewed in terms of who is speaking, the goals of the event, who is in the audience, who is not represented and other related concerns. 5. We are working on ways that the collective can act in solidarity with and build relationships with people of color-led and people of color-centering projects. We would like to be respectful and intentional in this process, not merely express it as a goal and omit the actual steps needed to achieve it. 6. As a collective, we are reflecting through reading, conversation, guided discussion and seeking advice from elders and friends on white supremacy as it plays out in the radical community and in our collective. We would like to emerge from this process with a set of strategies for improving what we do. We would also welcome advice and feedback. We recognize that this list is not exhaustive by any means. To sum up, we would like to apologize for creating an event that reinscribed white supremacy and for the anger, pain, discomfort and frustration that we caused. We would like to apologize for distracting from the important matter of the prison industrial complex by our privileged and thoughtless actions. If you would like to give us feedback about the incident or the statement, if we have omitted something or if you have thoughts about the steps we hope to take, please contact us at email@example.com.	2018-03-23T03:13:08Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648177.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323024544-20180323044544-00180.warc.gz	en	0.967492	2,216	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:fa9804ac-8f61-4758-b711-f14267b60f91>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://minnehahafreespace.org/2012/06/01/reflections-about-our-event-centering-whiteness-and-the-prison-industrial-complex/" }
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data The loudness of a sound heard at a point, a distance d = 10m from a small source of 125Hz, is 60phons. Provided that the intensity level of the sound heard at the point given is 70dB. The threshold of pain is 120dB for all frequencies. How far from the source will a normal ear feel painful? 2. Relevant equations For a small source, the intensity of sound, I is inversely proportional to d^2. And intensity level = 10log(I1 / I2) 3. The attempt at a solution Let the required distance be x. so, I1 / I2 = d2^2 / d1^2 70/120 = x^2 / 10^2 x = 7.64m But the solution is: Since intensity level difference = 120 -70 = 50dB So, 50 = 10log(10^2 / x^2) x = 0.032m What's wrong with my answer?

By Wayne William Cipriano The weather forecasters got the day right. They got the time right. They got the differing types of precipitation right, and even correctly reported when one type would change to another. They got the amounts right. And, they got the temperatures right. This is scary! Based on that sort of accuracy, the next time they start screaming about a tornado headed our way, I’ll be huddled in the basement surrounded by radios, candles, and water bottles, shaking like a leaf, and sobbing like a baby. Man, I hope the kids aren’t here to see that!	2015-07-02T23:14:43Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095677.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00297-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.942983	132	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-27", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3421099f-d9a0-4f42-a0cd-0ac407034334>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.douglascountyherald.com/2013/12/what-about-this-12-12-2013/" }
Wallet #1 features 4 credit card slots on the front, and a back zippered enclosure. Wallet #2 is the one I chose to make. Here's mine. One side of the wallet has a pocket secured in place with a snap that will fit many cell phone sizes. The pattern used an ordinary snap but I chose to use a magnetic button. Inside is a divider space with room for cash, receipts and credit cards. I've been using this wallet since I made it nearly 2 weeks ago and it's so handy. I can even put my keys onto the wrist band. My friends saw me with it and wanted one also so I now have another two to add to my to do list. I'd also like to make another one for myself and next time choose my fabrics a little more wisely. Finally Wallet #3 has a zip closure, and bias binding on the outer edges of the wallet. It has an accordion divider on the inside which has a zippered pouch divider, credit card and cash slots on each end. Sara's pattern was easy to follow with lots of photos and instructions. If you'd like to buy a copy of the Greenbacks Wallet Trio go over to Sara's Pattern Shop and remember you're getting three for the price of one. ~ Maria ~	2020-04-01T18:44:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370505826.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20200401161832-20200401191832-00237.warc.gz	en	0.969902	272	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-16", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b31ca06c-c354-48de-8ed6-3b8a4238b8cd>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://miacreates.blogspot.com/2013/05/greenbacks-wallet-trio.html" }

A brief interview answering some questions about Reach the City. Becca Pugh, former AU Chi Alpha staff member interviews Blane Young, Director of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries at American University. Becca Pugh: "Hey, I'm here with Blane Young, Director of AU Chi Alpha." Blane Young: "Yeah- hey, what's up everyone?" . . . "Why do you do this campaign every year?" BY: "I think that's a question we get often. I'm so glad that we get to talk about it a little bit. We do this campaign every year, so that we can launch all three of the Chi Alpha ministries in the city, to be able to equip them so that they can reach as many students as possible during Welcome Weeks, or Fall Kickoff, or Fall Start. If you've heard us use those terms, they're interchangeable. It's the period from August 1st to our Fall Retreat in mid-October. And so we talk about it - kind of campus groups talk about it - as the 'window of friendliness.' Basically as new students come onto campus, whether they are transfers or med school students, or freshmen, they come onto campus - they're looking for a friend group. They're looking for a place to identify with, and belong in. So for us it's the most strategic time of the year. It's been said like this - that we want to 'strike while the iron is hot.' There are people looking to start off their new collegiate careers and their new lives outside of the home, and we want to be there to offer an alternative to the part scene, but really (more importantly) to offer a gospel-centered, Jesus-focused community where we can have fun and grow together and challenge one another, and so that's what we do every year, because every year we hope to do large events, large initiatives and programs, which would allow us to invite in hundreds of students- from preview services to glow-in-the-dark lawn games, whatever you call it- just tons of ways to connect relationally and then invite people into our community. And so every fall we start over. It's kind of like if a church plant started over, because this year on our campus at American University, we have 1,800 new freshmen moving in. And so it's kind of like if your town or community had that many new people, you'd wanna welcome them with your church, and so that's what we do. Reach the City is directly correlated to funding that every fall semester" "Are the gifts that are going toward Reach the City directly funding Welcome Week events?" BY: "Absolutely. As you may know, or you may guess- at times, we'll receive funding from the university for certain events and initiatives, but Welcome Weeks is completely funded by donors. And so one of the things I like to say, as much as I can in front of our students, is that 'everything you see around you is a gift. Somebody sacrificed or gave so that you can have whatever you're having- whether it's a piece of pizza at a discipleship class, or it's a cup of coffee that we were able to purchase for you whenever you came back from study abroad, or it's going to one of these great events-' all of that is directly tied in. And so that's how we fund those events- donors, churches, but primarily individuals who have a heart for reaching college students, and they do so through Reach the City." "If you guys are raising money, how are you giving such sweet gifts to donors, and did people actually get bacon in the mail?" BY: "Yes! People actually did. We had two people who, once they saw the video gave a gift of $200 or more, and so with our friends at sendyourfriendsbacon.com, we're actually able to mail them bacon. So two people are getting bacon, fifteen people are getting Chi Alpha shirts. The next five online donors are getting Starbucks gift cards. So the questions is, 'wait, how are you able to do all of that?' Right? Like if you're raising money? And that's a good question. It's kind of twofold. One, it's a crowd-funded campaign, and so like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, we want to thank and reward our donors- give them not only the benefit of being part of something, but also give them something tangibly. For us, it's also slightly theological. We believe in a culture of thanksgiving and of honor, and of giving credit where it's due. And so we have a small number of funds set aside that allow us to thank people well. And I'm just passionate, not just about cultivating generosity, but also cultivating a culture of thanksgiving. So we kind of have it planned that it doesn't take away from our ministry efforts, but we actually believe it's an investment. As we thank people well, they might even consider continuing to give. And that's what we've seen over the years. "If I'm already investing in a Chi Alpha Missionary, what's the value in giving to this too?" BY: "Yeah, that's a good question. All of our Chi Alpha staff, as you may or may not know, support-raise their income and their work budgets. Um, this is part of kind of how we work as an organization, top-down. So if you're already supporting a Chi Alpha missionary on a monthly basis- first of all, I want to thank you. Your investment is what allows Chi Alpha staff to live close to campus, to be in proximity to be investing in students, and to be able to do so full-time. And so, I'm so grateful for people that do it part-time or by vocation; there are volunteers even at our own campus. But I think that to really reach students, to be in close relationship with those that are far from God - it takes a concerted effort. That's where the full-time missionary comes in, and you're making it possible by giving on a monthly basis. So maybe you're thinking, 'I'm already giving, I'm already stretching, I'm already sacrificing. Should I also give to this?' Well one- we don't ever want anyone to feel like they're giving out of guilt. Scripture is so clear that God loves the idea of a cheerful giver. And so we just want to extend another opportunity for you to invest and make a difference in a slightly different pocket of our ministry; in a slightly different area. Because as you probably know, you give monthly to a missionary, that provides for them to live near campus and to work, but it doesn't go to funding our events. So, one time I had a wonderful supporter as me 'Hey, how much pizza does my monthly support provide for your ministry?' And I was like, 'Oh, it provides none. I'm so sorry. Your gift provides for my family, it provides for us to work and to focus.' And I think there's a theological precedence for that, but this really is another opportunity for you to directly impact students. And so as we cast our nets wide, you're helping us build those nets to reach those students. So I wouldn't say you have to give. I wouldn't want to give out of guilt. I would just say hey, if you're interested in giving in kind of this different area, to consider it. But if you're already giving monthly to a Chi Alpha missionary, man that's awesome. You are doing so much, and I'm o grateful for you. "How does giving financially to these events during Welcome Weeks translate into relationship?" BY: "If you're around Chi Alpha at all, I hope that you realize that we're a relational, discipleship, pure mentoring, one-on-one, small groups ministry. Put that on a t-shirt, right? Um, how do these big, large-scale events (free ice cream, glow-in-the-dark lawn games, cereal and board games, taking international students to a baseball game, hosting a lunch for medical school students)- how does that translate into ministry? Well, we believe that relationship is key to ministry. And so it's that old phrase - 'People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.' So for us it's not an agenda, it's just what we believe God's called us to- to love people, to welcome them, and we also want to be- not just a counseling center, although we do want to provide biblical counseling, as we see in the book of Proverbs- but we want to provide a place for people to belong before they believe, before they behave, before they become and I'll say that again. We want to provide a place for people to belong before they believe, before they behave, before they become. So I think a lot of times in our excitement to get people to meet Jesus, we forget that they first need to meet us. That's what these events do. That's what Chi Alpha, christo apostoli means- it means that we are Christ's ambassadors. We are in His place so that He would make His appeal through us, as that verse says in Paul's writings in letters to the church in Corinth. I think I would say we hope that it's a starting point- that our small groups are full, that we're able to have coffee with students, but we're kind of tossing it out wide, with those large events, and then start building relationships there. So yeah, our goal isn't to gather a lot of people. Our goal is to build people. But we have to gather a few first, so that's how that kind of translates into that."	2018-03-17T04:12:18Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257644271.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180317035630-20180317055630-00316.warc.gz	en	0.980221	2,043	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:577f75bd-f394-4a92-9324-f8500c0fc713>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://dcchialpha.com/blog/reach-the" }

\|Program Outcome 4 – Technological Knowledge and Skills\| \|Employ current and emerging technologies effectively for communication, and to search for, identify, repackage, and deliver information resources. Although Li513 – Technology Skills for Graduate Students was mostly based on teaching students to use the technology required to complete SLIM’s online program, I learned some valuable skills that I would not have otherwise known. One project we were assigned utilized several technologies – students were asked to pick a new digital technology that could be helpful to libraries and present a report (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) by using Adobe Connect online. Since I was familiar with Twitter, but had never actually used it, I created an account for myself and did some research into how it could be used to a library’s advantage. The work I did for this assignment was indeed eye opening, and I learned a lot while creating a clear and easy to follow presentation for my classmates. My eye for design is also displayed in this artifact, visualization being a key element in all of my presentations.	2019-05-25T09:19:10Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257939.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525084658-20190525110658-00104.warc.gz	en	0.970616	217	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b5b20fb0-5d7d-4e44-856a-1c1f4a6641a3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://jessicadevonmcclanahan.com/education-background/program-outcomes/po4-technological-knowledge-and-skills/" }
I ask this because content marketers today may be in a similar position to Edward Bernays at the beginning of the 20th century. Often referred to as the “father of public relations” Bernays was fascinated with his uncle Sigmund Freud’s work and saw an opportunity to make use of human nature and instinctual drives in advertising. Before that time, most people waited for things to wear out and purchased items only when they were needed. But Bernays built a career and founded an industry on the manipulation of irrational desires in an effort to compel people to purchase things they don’t need. One hundred years later, it might be argued that the Bernays approach had a disastrous effect on society leading to destruction of the environment, an unhealthy focus on materialism and an increase in disease, crime and disharmony throughout the world. However, a confluence of technological developments has changed mass communications from a primarily broadcast (one to many) model to a network (many to many) model providing more choice. As a result, the creation and distribution of fresh quality content online has become the fulcrum of many modern marketing strategies and given birth to the term “content marketing”, though many would argue that the basic form has been alive since before Bernays. The epic shift that is taking place in marketing right now is both influenced by and influencing: - Rise of blogging and ease of self-publishing - Free information on the web - Social media platforms - Rise of social in marketing - Demise of major media publications - Search engine algorithms favoring fresh quality content - Movement toward transparency - Movement toward pull v push marketing - Movement away from spin & manipulation & toward authenticity - Movement toward online community It’s an important time for marketers, journalists and the public in general to consider what is happening and the implications these changes may have for our future. I don’t have the answers, but I think it’s important to ask the questions. What do you think? Will society be better off in 50 years? What do you think is likely to change as a result of content marketing? What can content marketers do to ensure our work is good for humanity in general?

The newest version of the World Resource Institute's Water Risk Atlas provides detailed statistics on water risk for every industry, under present conditions and in light of predicted climate change. That means industries who map their supply chains can quickly assess where - and when - to implement water conservation. Above you can see the spread of water scarcity in the Middle East; below the scores for a few hundred textile mills in South and East Asia. Want to learn more?

Former Reagan Solicitor General Charles Fried delivered testimony during a Senate hearing on the "The Constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act," expressing, in no uncertain terms, his personal assessment that he is "quite sure that the health care mandate is constitutional." Here's the key part of Fried's statement, transcribed by ThinkProgress: I am quite sure that the health care mandate is constitutional. ... My authorities are not recent. They go back to John Marshall, who sat in the Virginia legislature at the time they ratified the Constitution, and who, in 1824, in Gibbons v. Ogden, said, regarding Congress' Commerce power, "what is this power? It is the power to regulate. That is--to proscribe the rule by which commerce is governed." To my mind, that is the end of the story of the constitutional basis for the mandate. The mandate is a rule--more accurately, "part of a system of rules by which commerce is to be governed," to quote Chief Justice Marshall. And if that weren't enough for you--though it is enough for me--you go back to Marshall in 1819, in McCulloch v. Maryland, where he said "the powers given to the government imply the ordinary means of execution. The government which has the right to do an act"--surely, to regulate health insurance--"and has imposed on it the duty of performing that act, must, according to the dictates of reason, be allowed to select the means." And that is the Necessary and Proper Clause. [...] I think that one thing about Judge Vinson's opinion, where he said that if we strike down the mandate everything else goes, shows as well as anything could that the mandate is necessary to the accomplishment of the regulation of health insurance. Earlier this week, Roger Vinson, a U.S. District Judge from Florida, ruled the entire health care reform law unconstitutional, after finding that the individual mandate aspect of the package constituted governmental overreach. A blogger at Forbes has highlighted another segment of Wednesday's discussion in which Fried explains, using the same logic, his interpretation that the federal government could, under the Constitution, force citizens to buy vegetables, but not eat them. Whether that would be a good idea, Fried says, is another question. While Fried announced at the onset of the hearing that he had come to the meeting as a non-partisan observer who had some serious concerns about many other aspects of the bill, it's also worth noting that he voted for Barack Obama in 2008, despite being an avid supporter of Sen.

Morgan tantrum boosts ticket sales Huey Morgan's temper tantrum on Never Mind The Buzzcocks looks to have boosted ticket sales for his band, Fun Lovin' Criminals. The singer shocked viewers and the studio audience when he grew angry with guest hosts Rizzle Kicks during the final round of the music panel show and smashed his mug on the desk in front of him, storming out of the studio as the programme ended. But the Daily Mirror has reported that according to ticket site Viagogo, sales to see his band have been boosted by 205 per cent since the TV incident earlier this week. A spokesman for the company said: "Huey may have struggled to see the funny side but it seems his fans certainly didn't as we've seen a sudden spike in demand for tickets to see the fiery front man live in action in the new year."

2010-06-18 - Despair Not Originally Published 2007-01-21 Psalm 43:5, "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my savior and my God." You may have noticed that the Psalmist closes Psalm 43 here with the same words he closes Psalm 42. David Dickson gives us six things we can learn from this Psalm. I reproduced Dickson's thoughts on this verse because I like how he breaks apart the verse and shows how it develops. It is often the case where we are disquieted in our hearts, and it can be hard to know where to turn or what to do. As Dickson says, there is no rest for such a spirit but to anchor itself in the Rock, namely the Lord Jesus Christ. It is when we take our cares and turn them over to Christ that we find our cares placed in capable hands. It is when we hold firm to all our doubt and fears, and treasure them up in our hearts, that we can fall deeper and deeper into despair. We are given sure comfort in Psalm 55:22 where we are told to, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you, he will never let the righteous fall." May the Lord give us the grace and strength to make Him our strength when we are downcast. May we rest in His tender care when it seems that the walls are closing in, and the roof is falling upon us. He alone can sustain us. He, as Psalm 43:5 tells us, is our hope. We may cast all our cares upon Him.

Google Inc. is going to unveil Nexus One on Tuesday in a bid to control mobile surfers and the market dominated by iPhone. The Nexus One would be released in a press event at its Mountain View, California, headquarters today, January 5. According to Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Nexus One phone probably will be sold directly by the company as well as through a wireless carrier. A reports from Engadget and other tech blogs says that the new operating system is fast with a speedy 1-gigahertz Qualcomm Inc.’s Snapdragon processor; a 4-gigabyte SD flash card to facilitate storage of programs and media files; and a track ball for navigation. The 5-megapixel camera is really pretty good for a cell phone. Unlike the iPhone, it has also has a flash. It has 3.7-inch (9.4- centimeter) screen, about the same size as the iPhone’s, actually appears to have slightly higher resolution. The Nexus One holds at charge for at least 24 hours, and maybe more. Evidently, the Nexus One beats the iPhone. The Nexus One can store videos and music but it doesn’t have a connection to iTunes and that is likely to make it unappealing to many people who want that convenience. It also doesn’t have access to Apple’s app store. Customers will be able to buy the phone and then choose between T-Mobile and AT&T: Google will likely offer the customers two purchase options for its Nexus One – the device will either be available for $180 with a two-year T-Mobile contract; or for $530 without a contract. But analysts expect Google to address the cost difference through advertising on the phone, or by other means. One possibility, Burden said, is that Google will be willing to sell the phones at or below cost as a way of ensuring Android, or some other future product, has a longstanding place in the market. Google rose $6.77 to $626.75 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares more than doubled last year.	2016-05-26T12:35:13Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049275836.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002115-00097-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.955105	448	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2016-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:e4ee926f-326e-417e-a9ca-1ef3c4a38130>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.areacellphone.com/2010/01/google-nexus-unveiled-the-nexus-beats-iphone-in-battery-and-screen-performance/" }

Elveden aims to be a world-class producer and purveyor of local and regional food excellence. Our reputation for wildlife conservation, in harmony with our farming practices, make Elveden an obvious choice for food with a unique story. Maharajah Duleep Singh Maharajah Duleep Singh was the last Maharajah of the Sikh Empire. He was exiled to England in 1849 , having been removed from his kingdom by the British East India Company. The Maharajah purchased Elveden Estate in 1863 with the vision of rebuilding the country house and dressing it in an Italian Style, with the insides redesigned to resemble the fine Mughal palaces that he had previously been accustomed too. Elveden Hall and Estate played host to a wide range of sporting activities but none rivalled the Maharajah’s passion for shooting. His shooting parties were popular amongst aristocracy including Prince George, Duke of Cambridge and Queen Victoria. During his time at Elveden, he was proclaimed the fourth best shot in England. After seasons of poor farming in the 1870s, a downturn in the Maharajah’s personal fortunes and political tensions in government, the Maharajah left Elveden and England in 1886. After his death in 1893, his executors sold Elveden Hall in 1894 to Edward Cecil Guinness. The Guinness Family Edward Cecil Guinness was an Irish philanthropist and businessman with a keen interest in field sports. In 1919 he was created Earl of Iveagh and Viscount of Elveden. At this time, the farmland on the estate was approximately 7,000 acres. The land was cultivated under a four-course rotation of corn, roots, corn, clover, and large flocks of sheep were kept to tread and manure it. Although some good crops of barley were grown on the more fertile parcels of land, light yields were the usual order with wheat selling at £7 a tonne the farming could not have expected to pay and was carried on primarily to provide cover and feeding for the game. High farming, however unprofitable, is necessary for good sport. (Birds would go else where!) 1900, annual loss was averaged at £3,500. A large acreage was always down to such crops as buckwheat and kidney vetch, which provided feed or cover for the game and had no other purpose. It was then Rupert Guinness 2nd Earl of Iveagh who transformed the lands for agricultural use in 1927. Lord Iveagh’s first venture in farming was dairying, and he was already producing Guernsey milk at his farm at Pyrford in Surrey before he inherited Elveden. The sale of milk has always been the largest source of the Elveden farms’ revenue. Lord Iveagh was extremely involved in the record keeping of cow’s individual performance and kept record of progeny testing of bulls. During the period between 1953-1963, the milking cow herd increased by other 50 percent, from 470 to 715. Average butterfat content was registered at a similar growth rate, improving from 3.42 percent to 3.5 percent for shorthorns, and from 4.45 percent to 4.60 percent for Guernsey’s. Self feed silage systems were used. An entry in the weekly Farms’ Report for the 25th February 1957 which observes that “self feed silage saves the work of two men and a tractor for four hours a day”. One clamp of 600 tonnes capacity, made in the spring or summer from 120 acres of lucerne leys, provides enough bulk feed throughout the winter for one hundred Shorthorn cows, without any further human intervention. Pigs first arrived at Elveden from 1952, when Lord Elveden purchased six pedigree Essex in-pig gilts and installed them at the Dell, behind the Elveden Hall. Sheep are the oldest inhabitants of the Elveden Estate and were to be seen roaming the “Brecks” and heathland long before Lord Iveagh started to reclaim the wilderness and populate it with dairy cows, beef cattle and pigs. Most of the breeding ewes are Suffolk cross, i.e. out of the border Leicester x cheviot ewes by a Suffolk ram. They are usually mated to a Dorset ram for fat lamb production. More recently Kerry hill ewes have been introduced and their ewes’ lambs by a Suffolk ram are kept for flock replacement. There were up until 1963, two flocks totalling 1,500 breeding ewes. In 1953 the crops grown included wheat, barley, rye, oats, sugar beet, potatoes, carrots, mangolds, rape, kale, lucerne, clover and sainfoin. Potatoes and carrots were abandoned in 1958 and 1959 respectively, and 1959 also saw the last crop of oats, after this cereal had proved unprofitable. In 1963 the acreage of wheat was greatly reduced and it has now been decided to grow no more on the fenland, while increasing the acreage of barley. Mechanical harvesting of sugar beet was introduced during 1952 and various machines were tested over this period. During this time, the grain harvest was handled by 16 Claas Combines, eight of them self-propelled and eight tractors drawn. During the mid 1970’s a small Christmas tree retail outlet was developed in Elveden Village. By 1991 there were in excess of 40,000 trees being sold annually and 1000 trees being sold just to the wholesale trade market. The two primary species grown are the Norway Spruce and Scots Pine. Elveden also supplies display trees nationwide for towns and city centres with trees up to 20metres. Many notable venues have an Elveden Christmas Tree as its centre piece including Sandringham House, St Paul’s Cathedral and more locally Ely Cathedral. Elveden war memorial, next to the busy A11, is a major land mark for holiday makers to let them know they are in Suffolk. Commissioned by the Earl of Iveagh to commemorate the 48 men from Elveden, Icklingham and Eriswell who died in the First World War. It is situated at the point where the three parishes meet. It stands 113 feet high with a staircase inside with 148 steps and is the tallest war memorial in Suffolk and one of the tallest such memorials in Great Britain.	2022-08-17T13:52:50Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572908.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817122626-20220817152626-00200.warc.gz	en	0.972184	1,374	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-33", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:1bef47a4-fb0b-4f22-961f-04914856df9a>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.elveden.com/history" }

Dimapur, July 12 (ANI): The government has decided to act tough against militant outfits, which collect funds through a variety of illegal means to meet their financial needs. Extortion of money by militant outfits has left the business community in Nagaland infuriated and frustrated. They are now demanding an end to this practice followed by various factions of militant outfits, including the National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM), which regularly extorts money from people and allegedly runs a parallel government. On June 19, the Action Committee against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT), under the aegis of the Naga Council, Dimapur, called for a 12-hour shutdown in Dimapur to protest against financial extortion that affects the business community and residents of the area. "This is a cause for the interest of people and we will continue to fight in the right direction so that people will be benefited," said Ntsemo Ngullie, General Secretary, Naga Council, Dimapur. "The public support which we are getting is very encouraging. We are happy that the public has come out in support of this bandh," added Machio, a student leader. Sources reveal the NSCN (IM) has a budget of Rs 120 crore for the year 2013, which is a 10 percent increase from last year's budget. They illegally collect money from government servants and departments in Nagaland, Manipur and Assam, and at check gates, highways, and from unions and NGOs. Taking a serious note of the issue, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has recently issued a directive to the Nagaland Government to stop the NSCN (IM) from levying tax on the common people as this is leading to a rise in price of commodities and cannot be allowed to continue. In a hard-hitting letter to Nagaland Chief Secretary Alem Temshi Jamir, the Union Home Ministry said there has been a serious situation following NSCN-IM's declaration that every Naga as well as others residing in Naga dominated areas in the region shall pay tax. The state governments have welcomed the Centre's tough stand. "We want such activities to be (Transcription) "If something happens out there, beyond our boundary, we don't have any jurisdiction. That is the problem. That is why we keep on requesting the centre to intervene," said G. GAIKHANGAM, Deputy Chief Minister, Manipur "So, I am very happy that the centre is kind enough to listen to our request and has advised the state government and the concerned parties not to indulge in such action. I think they should listen to that," he added. Over the years, everyone has urged insurgent outfits in Nagaland to pay heed to the plight of the people, especially the marginalized section, who have to pay exorbitant taxes to various groups. Such practices hamper economic growth and in the long run, the overall development of the state.

That’s one way of standing up for states’ rights: The House voted early Wednesday morning to stop the Obama administration’s lawsuits against state immigration laws. The amendment, which strips funding so that the Justice Department cannot pursue the lawsuits, passed 238-173. Twelve Democrats voted for it, while six Republicans voted against it. The amendment specifically applies to laws in Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri, Utah, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Indiana. The Obama administration and immigrant-rights groups have sued to block laws in each of those states. And now, the big story of the day… once again, the keystone of ObamaCare is declared unconstitutional. A federal appeals court in Atlanta ruled Friday that a provision in President Obama’s health care law requiring citizens to buy health insurance is unconstitutional, but the court didn’t strike down the rest of the law. I received the below via email today and, as yet, have not checked the veracity of the claims on amendment passage and such. I’ve also removed the “pass it on” part simply because this is a blog, not an email. If you find merit in the ideas then feel free to “pass it on” as you wish. I have a quibble with the name of the “Act” and the use of the constitutional amendment process. I believe the original author intended for the bullet points to be a Constitutional Amendment instead of an “Act of Congress”. As such, I ask for the reader to supply appropriate names for it. And so, later tonite, the life of Humberto Leal will end, probably a lot more gently than did the life of Adria Sauceda: The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday rejected a White House-backed appeal seeking to spare a Mexican citizen from execution Thursday evening in a death penalty case where Texas justice clashed with international treaty rights. Justices voted 5-4, refusing to keep Humberto Leal from lethal injection, The decision came about an hour before Leal could be taken to the Texas death chamber for the 1994 rape-slaying of a 16-year-old girl. Leal, a 38-year-old mechanic, was sentenced to lethal injection for the murder of Adria Sauceda, whose brutalized nude body was found hours after Leal left a San Antonio street party with her. The girl’s head was bashed with a 30- to 40-pound chunk of asphalt. Let’s see… execution sounds about right for a piece of human debris that could kill a 16-year-old girl with asphalt to the head. Earlier today, over on Pajamas Media, former Department Of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams posted an exclusive report on the way that the DOJ has been responding to Freedom of Information Act responses based on the partisan affiliations of those requesting information: The data in the FOIA logs I obtained reveal the priorities of the Civil Rights Division — transparency for friends, stonewalls for the unfriendly. Now, according to Adams, a very powerful Republican has decided to look into this, and is demanding answers from the DOJ Inspector General. The Republican in question is Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), and Adams explains his importance: He is the wrong Congressman for the DOJ to hack off – he controls their budget. Indeed he does… it even says so on the letterhead of his letter (which is worth reading), which indicates that he’s the ranking member of the subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee that handles Justice.
