December 5, 2009 Susan.....I am sure the customers were quite festive and in the "purchasing" mood - they were at the store today...something about the cold, snow, twinkling lights and Christmas Carols just puts a smile on everyone's face. Your Holiday Open House sounds so inviting...wish I would have been able to come! I have a (3 1/2 year old) rosemary plant, scented rose geranium and a lemon balm plant all in a second floor south window - I moved the rosemary from the big room into the little room (I think you remember how the 2nd floor was set up).....and keep hoping it will do okay. My rose geranium at home - died - it was old and clipped too many times I am afraid ! I do love making that rose geranium cheese spread to serve in the winter when no one expects it! I wish you luck with your plants - fingers crossed. Ginny.....YIKES...you have lots more snow than we do....at the store it was only about an inch when we left (but really coming down fast)...on the way home we hit spots of just wet roads....and then when we got close to home (16 miles from store) it was a mess!!! The plow went up our road though....we are a secondary state road so sometimes they do and sometimes they don't !!! December 2, 2009 October 27, 2009 September 19, 2009 September 16, 2009 September 11, 2009 I have never made anything with pineapple sage....and was surprised that it is eatable...always thought it was just ornamental. Fun to learn something new everyday!! Andrea - your pineapple sage is so pretty....I can smell it right thru the computer....!!! September 10, 2009 August 25, 2009 Trying to harvest as much Herbs & Flowers as I can. All the mints have been dried and it's time to crush them for potpourri. Here's some Rubeckia~ this dries Great! I like to dry them with the stem facing down into a framed screen. This way they dry opened up and look great in arrangements. Echinacea can be dried the same way~ or if hung upside down the petals will curl inwards and you don't get as much color Yarrow is ready to harvest~ Here's some freshly harvested Globe Amaranth~ this really keeps its color! August 23, 2009 I did FINALLY sell the beautiful watering can with the scented geranium planted in it....you should have seen how wonderful it is growing in there. I do hope she brings it in the house and keeps it going. My basil is now a TREE - and I am just giving it away to anyone who walks by the house...(big smile)...Hope everyone is having a great end of summer...... August 11, 2009 August 7, 2009 I love your story Becky....can you imagine the stench of years ago with no sewers or water systems...I can't even handle a port-a-potty !! Weeds are growing really good around here...I am loaded with sour grass and thistle...it had to be in the mulch. My basil is now a tree.....what is the best way to preserve it ??? HELP !!! August 5, 2009 One of my favorites is the Lemon scented ..Lemon Rupert. I use the stiff lemon stems as swizzle sticks in Lemonade or lemon drinks...fun! July 30, 2009 July 29, 2009 Wish I had more time to play with the goodies from my garden ! Yes, Scented Geraniums are super easy to dry! I just bunch them and hang them. They tend to turn a dull green/light brown color but they still keep that pungent scent! I use the Essential oil of Rose Geranium in my soaps, body oils & bath salts. If your looking to do something with the pink blossoms, they look beautiful floating on top of a glass of Herbal Iced Tea. The blossoms & leaves can be stored in your canister of sugar~ to bring out the flavor in the iced tea as well~ I've even seen recipes for Rose Geranium jelly! And of course they're perfect in potpourri :) Hi Ginny...Becky left this comment on your question about the scented geraniums...and I wanted to make sure you saw it...I am sending Becky and invite right now and hopefully she will join in and share more...Judy OOPS !! I don't have your email address Becky..if you would like to join this forum and be able to post and add pictures please send it to me at email@example.com I hope you will join us !! Basil Becky said... I love scented gernamiums. I dry them several ways. Often I will take the leaves off the stem and lay them in basket or I have simply hung the stem with the leaves in a good palce to dry.A fun thing is to then put the dried leaves in old panty hose and hang in your closet! Instant moth repellant! July 27, 2009 July 25, 2009 We cut all the mint here too....I don't make potpourri anymore....just never enough thyme...but I plan to order some from you. It looks wonderful on your website. (although I did dry all my larkspur for future "sprinkles" like you suggested!) Everyone should check our Andrea's website she has great treasures for sale!!! I'm sure you'll sell them all out~ We sell lots at our shop too. I stamp mine with a rubber stamp of a cat and tie a jingle bell to the muslin bag too. I harvested lots of Mint & Yarrow today. Here's the Mint drying~ When it's dried, I'll crush it up and use it in the Victorian & Cottage Garden Potpourri~ Here's some of the Yarrow~ My cat Spooky loves to be involved too :) Most of my Herbs needed a good cutting back. The Catmint, Valerian and Lavender all got a haircut today. The Tansy has gone crazy and I'll be cutting that back but first I want to get some flower bunches out of it. Same with the Sage~ cut, bunch & dry :) July 23, 2009 (there is more now...LOL!!) But wanted to get the picture taken. Rained all day today off and on - muggy too. Some of the garden looks terrific and other parts look very weary and sad with this crazy mixed up weather we have been having. (Personally I LOVE the 68 degree mornings and 78 degree afternoons !!! So tell me gals...."How does your garden grow?" July 14, 2009 July 12, 2009 catnip or catmint? - seems to be two separate varieties but come from the same family - here are two definitions found on the internet.....I am sure the "cats" don't care what I call it !!!! Catnip (Nepeta cataria). (credit: Walter Chandoha)Aromatic herb (Nepeta cataria) of the mint family. Catnip has spikes of small, purple-dotted flowers. It has been used as a seasoning and as a medicinal tea for colds and fever. Because its mintlike flavour and aroma are particularly exciting to domestic cats, it is often used as a stuffing for cat toys. Meaning #1: hairy aromatic perennial herb having whorls of small white purple-spotted flowers in a terminal spike; used in the past as a domestic remedy; strongly attractive to cats Synonyms: catnip, Nepeta cataria Hey girls...where are your pictures of what you are up to??? Love when you share....Judy July 8, 2009 There's so many combination of herbs & spices that work great in vinegars. Sage, Tarragon, Parsley, Cilantro, Chives, Chili Peppers, Peppercorns, Garlic cloves...just about anything! When I make the vinegars at home I never bother to heat up the vinegar either. The most important thing is to sterilize the glass jars. Handmade Vinegars make beautiful gifts. Just cover the cap with homespun or cheesecloth, tie some raffia and attach an "Herbal" tag and your sure to impress!! Now you have to offer the class & we want to see pictures~ July 7, 2009 July 5, 2009 Susan...what a great idea for the Rhubarb punch...(now I dislike rhubarb) but love the idea of the glass bowl inside the olde agate. I have a large stoneware bowl I use for punch when we have events at the store but your idea is more primitive and I love it!!! Lovage is delicious just like Andrea said....I used it all the time....but again....house repairs where the lovage was planted gave it a quick demise! Keep writing gals.....I miss not being able to get on here everyday....soon I hope my problems will go away.....Happy gardening....XO, Judy June 29, 2009 With its beautiful blue flowers, this herb is a wonderful addition to your collection! Besides, it's super easy to grow and makes tons of babies that you can share with other gardener friends :) We sell the dried leaves at the shop, it's very popular for treating styes & other ailments~ June 27, 2009 All there is is a stem and a yellowed leaf and a tomato. I wonder if it is safe to eat! I planted 4 tomato plants in this garden and 2 look like this. The other 2 look a little better but not much. I'm wondering if the mulch I put on is too strong. We got a huge load of horsemanure that has wood chips mixed in. Maybe it needs to age more. We have had the manure for a good 9 months now, and I thought that would be enough aging time. Oh well, garden and learn---I always say! My mother is a medical herbalist and I grew up with lots of common (and not so common) herbs growing in the gardens~ Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) has always been a very important herb for healing. We've used it for over 30 years in our "Magic Healing Salve" and mom always brought in a few leaves to her students for herb identification. She would show them a Comfrey leaf and a Foxglove leaf and see if they could identify which one was which. Most students couldn't tell the difference~ Her point was that if you mistake Foxglove for Comfrey you could become very sick. She would tell the story of an old couple that thought they were cook'n up a big pot of Comfrey tea, when actually they were using Foxglove leaves and they both died.....Don't know if the story was true but it always got thru to the students how important Herb identification is :) Mom had a Comfrey plant growing that was actually named "Humpfrey" If your going to plant comfrey you better plant it where you want it to grow forever because you can NEVER transplant it! It will always come back in that original spot~ Humpfrey was dug up many times and still managed to pop up again, the only thing that stopped "him" from growing was building an addition onto the house and covering him up for good! Poor Humpfrey :) June 25, 2009 June 21, 2009 June 17, 2009 Love the "Fairy Dust" Judy! I was out in the Gardens this morning and thought I'd share a few pics with you~ The Lady's Mantle is is bloom~ This herb looks beautiful cascading over a stone wall or edging a Garden! I use it a lot in the background when I'm taking pictures of my Beauty products. It reminds me of something you'd see in the old Victorian Gardens~ Real easy to grow too! Here's another herb that I absolutely LOVE! This Thyme is called "Ruby Glow"~ This is the second year it's come up and so far it's been very hardy, filled with compact leaves & FULL of bright "ruby" colored blossoms~ Thanks for letting me share~ June 14, 2009 Hi Anne.....I think my fairies wanted to meet yours..... I have to get busy and get the lavender harvested too....I was hoping to try my hand at making a lavender wand.....don't know why I think this is so difficult when the directions seem so easy....Might do that tomorrow too !!! We had quite a bit of rain here in CT too last week. My gardens look nice and green though and everything is thriving, including lots of weeds. I love to take pictures of my gardens so I hope to share a lot in the future. I've never shared on a group blog like this before so until I learn my way around here better I'll just share this one picture for now. These are the two little fairies that I found hiding in my lavender. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, and now all my lavender plants are in bloom. I picked some this morning and added them to a vase with some roses. Oh my they smell lovely. I'll gather more during the week for drying. June 13, 2009 Oh my as I sit here and type I am watching a baby bunny eat my parsley....he is so cute....it is a big patch so I will share it with him.....!!! ooopsss...there he goes !!! My herb garden is completely out of control now...today we had lots of sunshine in the morning and then the rains came...flooding downpours....it is still raining. I don't mind a summer drizzle but this is getting olde !! IF (and that is a big if) it is not raining tomorrow I will just cut down the lemon balm and feverfew - sage is not quite ready...and the mint and hang it to dry. I have a nice batch of catmint too...I want to get it before it flowers and goes to seed ! It is a bit frustrating right now. And I am sure the rain has beat down the dill....I did pick some yesterday- I love dill in my salads. Andrea.....I am sick I didn't pick the larkspur...it looks so pretty in the flower beds....but I wanted to dry it for potpourri....and this rain today...YIKES !! If it is still standing tomorrow and not bare of flowers....I am picking it for sure!!!! June 12, 2009 June 11, 2009 Same thing is happening with my Peonies! I've been meaning to cut them and hang them to dry, but of course they looked too pretty and now it's raining and they are soaked~ they'll probably turn brown soon too :( Another thing about the Larkspur (or anything you dry) it looks great sprinkled inside a gift basket or in with items that are packaged in cellophane. Sometimes it's the perfect "finishing touch" Yes, I wholesale my potpourri. Feel free to contact me thru my website and I'll set up a wholesale account for you. Or I'd be happy to send you an old fashioned "Print" catalog~ Do you wholesale your potpourri???

#CravingYellowCommunity Blog Hangout!! (4 x 4) What a wonderful week it's been on the blog! I've truly loved hanging out with you and hearing what you've been upto this year! (For day 1, click here; day 2, here; and day 3, here.)Thanks for taking the time to respond, and to respond in length! We've all been on such different paths this year! We've all learned a lot, grown that little bit wiser and truly soaked in all of life. :-) As I'm sitting here on my bed, typing this out, with a big smile on my face, I'm truly happy that each of you is part of our #CravingYellowCommunity. Your honesty has been refreshing and I cannot tell you how much you've inspired me to keep soaking in the sunshine!! Now, I know it's Christmas and I sure don't want you glued to your computer or phone screen during this festive time! So I'll keep this brief: Go out, treat yourself, celebrate your beautiful existence, shower your friends and family with love. Hang out with them, listen to their shenanigans and (dramatic stories of ratchteness! Haha!) Be kind to those around you. Even to strangers. Give. Sleep in. Eat to your fill. Have a glass of wine. Take a long, lazy walk. Cozy up for a nice movie. Soak it all in lovey!! *The photos in this shoot, and in the three previous posts, were taken in January 2015 in Mass MOCA, Massachusetts. Craving Yellow, the blog, was only a couple of days old. I don't know if you remember how my page looked, but for a while, this last picture was my header photo. From my perspective, I'm truly humbled by how this platform has evolved over the course of the year. I'm simply driven by you and above all else, my dream is that Craving Yellow will continue to be a space in which you feel free to take part and share your views.** (Okay, end of Oscar speech..haha!:-) Wishing you and yours, a bright and colourful Christmas!

A resilient life is defined as the ability to “bounce back”…a common analogy is a rubber ball versus an egg as they hit the floor…very different outcomes. Resiliency is the process of becoming more like the ball and less like the egg. Here on the overhead is a picture of a model for how resiliency skills “work” in life (just a model, life is more complex…but this is accurate) Prior to a major life stressor or “bang” we build (ideally) resilience skills…then when an event or time period comes that make it necessary then we exercise those skills. The use of these skills allows us (ideally) to thrive in times of adversity (though it may feel to us like we are surviving not thriving) Especially when the “bang” is occurring…imagine a rubber ball hitting the floor in slow motion…it feels like an egg when it is contacting the floor. Then as a result of exercising these skills…we grow as people…post trauma or post event growth…we move to a new normal with more resiliency…”Bam! I’m good!” Then we cycle back to the skill building stage…it’s a never-ending process…nobody “arrives” in this life…but we can grow in becoming more resilient…if we make certain ongoing choices. Resiliency is a topic that gained the attention of the medical, military, and academic communities a few years back. It has been around as a topic of interest for a long time…but gained a lot of attention in the past 15 years or. It really describes, in the best-case scenario, a life that the Bible puts forward as the “thriving life” or a life of “faith.” The men and women of faith in the Bible….were resilient people. Not everyone in the Bible, but specifically the ones who were learning to trust God…they became increasingly resilient. They were, as Paul wrote “struck down, but not destroyed”…they bounced. They bounced because of their faith Faith in Christ produces “bounce” because…”Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This current crisis, event, struggle…whatever it is…is not the final word…Christ has the final word…and he is in control of the circumstances of my life. My family went through a recent crisis…and we are the “grow” phase…cycling back to the building phase. It doesn’t always feel like growth…and it is an up and down process…but I have seen it clearly in my kids and my wife…their faith (not their own personal greatness) is allowing them to bounce. The reality of resiliency is evident in what happens over time not how we feel about how we are doing at each point in time. Faith is a grace-gift of God…we bounce not because we are so strong but because he is faithful and we have are learning to put our confidence in him. We began this year looking at the Bible as a single narrative with multiple sub-plots. Top Tier: The “top-level” meta-narrative is “God’s activity to redeem humanity” Mid-Tier: The sub-narrative under that is “God calling a people to himself to make his glory known to the world…Israel, then the church.” Bottom Tier: The sub-narratives (plural) under that are “All the individual stories in the Bible of people demonstrating the reality of God and the reliability of his word…either through the positive or the negative choices they make…and in most cases both the positive and negative choices these key characters make.” So Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses…and all the host of characters in the OT proved God’s word true by both their good and bad choices. Then In the life of Jesus all three tiers merge together. - He is the eternal plan of God to redeem humanity - He is the seed of Abraham and the head of the church - He lived a 33 yearlong life as one of us on planet earth…demonstrating perfectly by his obedience the reality of God and the reliability of his word. We see that Jesus, who follows his Father’s path perfectly…is the supreme example of human resiliency. He has the full range of healthy human emotions, he thinks with perfect clarity, he acts with complete wisdom and integrity…he shows us what it looks like to “get it right.” He is what human resilience looks like…and what it could look like for us. Of course he is the Savior not just an example to follow…but he is certainly, as the Savior, the greatest example for our lives in every way. There are lots of movies and TV shows about people who get closer to some imagined ideal level of human perfection…either through science, or accident(lightning strike, radiative spider bite), or evolution…they achieve a level of intellectual or physical ability that is way above the norm. Then there are the real-world examples of how much “potential” we supposedly have that is untapped You’ve heard the stats…humans only use “x” percent of their brains. You can see real life people who are savants…music, math, design, athletics So what does resiliency, Jesus and super-heroes and savants…have to do with each other? They have to do with goals, aspirations, models of what human thriving looks like and what is possible for us…what we should aspire to…what God has made available to us. For Hollywood…the “ultimate human”…has exceptional physical or mental power and then hopefully and occasionally the moral capacity to go with that power. This tension between power & morality is the most common theme for all “super human” stories…”will the power corrupt the person who holds it or not?” “Will they use it for good or not?” A movie that came out this summer, that fortunately has not done that well…is called “Bright Burn”…haven’t seen it, won’t see it. It is about a super human who is morally depraved…so to the question will these “super humans” use their power for good or not? Answer in this movie is…NOT. But It’s all way off target… in terms of what the ideal human looks like. Jesus…the one actual human being with unlimited power and moral goodness…demonstrated what it looks like to be an exceptional human. It was not in his ability to manipulate nature, defeat death…not in his ability to do anything that can be done…ultimate power…but it is in his holiness. He lived a life set apart for the purposes of God the Father…that is a “holy life” It is Holiness…not intellectual or physical capacity that makes for a resilient and exceptional humans…it is what it means to live the thriving life…in spite of all that comes our way. Holiness is accessible to all through Christ…it is the outcome of sanctification…as we become more like Christ…we become more holy, more set apart for god. He sets us apart as we trust him…then we grow in living the “set apart” life. Not set apart as in separate from people, hard to get along with, or isolated in Christian sub-cultures…but we live among people set apart for the purposes of God. As Jesus lived among people, deeply engaged in their lives…he lived his life devoted to the purposes of God. This meant many things…most importantly that he did not shrink back from the cross…or any other act of obedience. He lived to give his life away rather than to serve and protect himself. Scripture says that for the joy set before him Jesus endured the cross…holiness is, ultimately, happiness…real joy. It makes sense since we are made by God for God…the more we live our lives set apart for his purposes…the more we will thrive…the better life will go for us. Tim Bergling, whose stage name was Avicii (Ah vee chee) was a musician whose most successful song was “Wake me up when it’s all over.” -He died by suicide last April at age 28. -I read his story recently…I was fascinated by his search for meaning, for purpose…particularly in the face of his physical, mental, and relational hardships…evidently he gave up that search. *It was, as these stories are for me…very sad. We are hard wired for purpose…everyone is searching for it…it matters that we align our search with what is real about how God has made us, why he has made us. So the good news is that in order to live the “ultimate human life” you don’t have to have a radiative spider bite or wait for a favorable mutation to happen to you. Holiness is a path you can take if you choose to. But this path of holiness is a specific one…spelled out in Scripture…it is not merely trying to be “spiritual”…it is obeying in practical, actionable ways. What was called the “New Atheism” is already dying out…it was fostered by a younger, louder, confident small group of public advocates of atheism. It was and is quickly losing its appeal…it is really just the same old arguments repackaged and marketed to a new generation. But where atheism as a worldview is losing sway…it is not biblical holiness that has taken its place…but rather a vague sort of “spirituality.” My daughter who lives in Denver says she just doesn’t encounter many young atheists…but lots of young people are who “spiritual” but not followers of Christ. Spirituality is a sort of non-descript sense of “I am more than just a physical being” but it does not define what the resilient life of “set apartness” or Christ-like holiness actually looks like. Spirituality most often is a path to “self-fulfillment” But it is not pursuing love for God revealed in Christ, resulting in sacrificial love for others. The pursuit of holiness is the pursuit of a life set apart more and more for the purposes of God…those purposes are mostly manifest in personal ethics and moral purity and in active love for others…particularly when that love is costly to us personally. Let’s read from Mark chapter 8…take a look at resiliency and relationships and holiness…set apart for God. Mark 8:27-38 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” Jesus knew what people were saying…but he wanted to open a teaching dialogue with his disciplines. They told him what was being said and these were clearly defective views, John, Elijah, and the prophets were all forerunners to Jesus…they were signs pointing to something greater than themselves. So he asked Peter, who spoke for the group. “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.” The Greek word translated “Christ” translates the Hebrew word “Messiah” and it came to be a name for the promised King who would deliver his people and bring righteousness on earth…he would restore the power and fortunes of the Jewish people. Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him. The reason he didn’t want them broadcasting this yet was because they were still very confused about who the Messiah was and what he had come to do. Their thinking was all tied up in the Messiah as a political/social figure who would restore the physical Jewish kingdom to its former glory and power. So…he said…”Keep this to yourselves” He didn’t say “Because you are still clueless” but he could have and it would have been true. This is quickly evident in what follows. He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. We don’t have all details of what he said, just the summary…but he was clear…he told them he was going to die. Peter showed he was clueless in his response…he rebuked, or tried to correct Jesus. And Peter was then rebuked in return…because he was out of sync with the reality of why Jesus had come. But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” Peter you are thinking the thoughts of a man, not the thoughts of God. Jesus then expanded his audience, it was no longer just the disciples but a larger crowd. The larger audience indicates this message was not just for a select few…but for all who would hear and respond to the gospel…for us. Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Two requirements of following Jesus are expressed here: (1) denial of self and (2) taking up one’s cross and following Jesus to death. “No” to the demands of our selfishness “Yes” to a life set apart for the purposes of God…signified by “death to self” - By denial of self, Jesus does not mean to deny oneself something for the sake of discipline. It is not giving up certain foods, or activities that he is speaking to. He means to renounce self—to cease to make self the object of our life and actions…to make God’s glory not self-glory or gratification our controlling passion. This involves a fundamental reorientation of the principle of life. God, not self, must be at the center of life…this is a constant “dethroning process” -Self looks to get back on the throne in our heart. Of course this denial of self will show up in actions and attitudes…but it not about “self-discipline” it is about make “self” sub-serviant to Christ. - Cross bearing does not refer to some irritation in life or even necessarily to some kind of suffering. You may have some physical suffering or a cranky boss…but that is not what Jesus is talking about here…that is not what he means by “cross bearing” The picture is of a man, already condemned, required to carry his cross on the way to the place of execution…to die. What Jesus is saying here is we are to “die to self and live to God” The path to human thriving and resiliency is not about self-actualization, self-fulfillment, self-protection, self-understanding, self-whatever. It is that in order to follow Jesus…to know him and live his kind of life…we must consistently deny self and die to self. Not by living in some kind of legalism, or harsh treatment of the body, or self-inflicted pride…but by loving God supremely in ways that show up in love for others. Many deny self for different reasons: to be great athletes, or Navy Seals, or to launch a business, or become famous, to try and subdue their desires by their own efforts, or just for the satisfaction of self-discipline. This is not that…those are fine…but this is not that. Here is what Jesus is talking about…next verse. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. This is about the gospel…not self-denial for self-serving reasons. After all…Jesus says next… What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? Here is the inestimable (in est im able) worth of the human soul…the entire world is of no value compared to it. You know…Suffering was as unpopular then as it now. They wanted a successful king not a suffering one…thus Peter tried to correct Jesus’ thinking. “This is not how it is supposed to be done.” “The Messiah should ride in like Thor, God of Thunder…and strike down our enemies…and live like the greatest kings of men have ever lived.” “No” Jesus said, “You are speaking the language of Satan not God.” Later when the disciples were arguing over who was the best Jesus said…”Among humans the great ones are served but in my kingdom greatness is to serve not be served…” Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” It is commonly believed now and was then…that true greatness is “Have things my own way” this is what money and power provide…freedom to do what you want. And what makes people angry, distressed, depressed, desperate…is when what they most want, what they believe they must have for life…is blocked by things outside their control. This is by definition a non-resilient life: when our well-being is largely contingent on things beyond our control then we are eggs not rubber balls. But the gospel life is the resilient life…it is death to self, in order to live for God…this shows up most clearly in sacrificial love for others. This approach to life, deny self and take up your cross…either looks like supreme wisdom or extreme folly to people. What does it look to you? Those who believe this “cross life” this “set apart life” is foolish…will experience a life void of final purpose. The avoidance of pain and the pursuit of pleasure has led to untold pain and robbed many of real joy and peace. Of course we don’t seek suffering and we are grateful for and enjoy pleasure when it comes. The problem is when pain avoidance and the pursuit of pleasure become the purpose of life. Then our life purpose is inherently unstable and ultimately will be taken from us. The pursuit of a life set apart for God is a stable, increasingly resilient life…a life that will bounce. Holiness is happiness and it is resiliency. Applications: Let’s look at two - Pursuing holiness vs avoiding pain is the path to resiliency John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” “You will have peace and you will have trouble” How is this apparent contradiction solved? Peace here, is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of a growing sense of well-being. Where does this sense of well-being come from? It is “In Christ”…in a growing, trust-relationship with Jesus. When we “lose heart”…an idiom for “losing courage” it is because we have lost hope in a meaningful future. Or our ability to make meaningful choices to shape the outcomes of our lives. “What difference does it make?” “Who cares?” “Why try?” “Nothing will change?” This is the language of “losing heart.” So what does Jesus say? “Take heart” “Take heart”…literally “have courage” “Why?” because I have overcome the world. It is not ever hopeless for the follower of Christ. If we take this truth to heart, it will shape our lives…we will be able to “take heart” to bounce. The pursuit of a life free of trouble is a vain thing…it does not lead to resiliency, quite the opposite. The pursuit of God, a life set apart for his purposes…does not lead to a trouble-free life but it is a resilient life. “How do I know I will have what I need when I need it…how do I know I not break like an egg but bounce like a ball?” Faith…believing God will be faithful. When you look ahead (and you should be careful how you do this, if and when you do this)…and you fear what might come and wonder if you will have what it takes. You must trust God with that future. Corrie Ten Boom: Train Ticket Phil. 1:20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. You must trust Christ, that he will empower you to Trust him…when you need to. Practice this now, in the day to day things of your life. - Personal resiliency and relationships. The pursuit of the “set apart life” (holiness) leads to increasing resiliency which directly and positively impacts all key relationships of our lives. God, self, others. You can persist in a difficult marriage…learn to thrive there…maybe turn your spouse to Christ. You can be faithful as a parent when things look dark…hurting, but thriving in Christ. You can say “no” to sex out-side of marriage…you can be set apart for God purposes so that you do not use others or let others use you for illegitimate purposes. You can find meaning in singleness, you can bounce on those in lonely days and weeks and years…you can thrive there. You can pursue health in relationships of all kinds…knowing that the pursuit of peace is within your control…not the outcome of that pursuit(people may reject your offer of peace)…but the choice to pursue the good of others for the glory of God…is your choice. Heb. 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. “Make every effort” is the translation of a single word…it means the active, persistent pursuit of something. Here: We are to pursue: Peace with others and holiness. To be set apart for his purposes…involves ethical and moral uprightness and the pursuit of healthy relationships with others. Pursue holiness: Ethical, moral purity and a life set apart for God’s purposes…this is what you were designed for. The holy life is the resilient life, it is the life that “bounces.” The resilient life is the life best equipped to thrive in relationships…with God, self, and others.	2023-12-07T16:01:15Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100677.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207153748-20231207183748-00726.warc.gz	en	0.962975	5,113	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2023-50", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:329513f9-41b2-4ad3-aa22-88acdab1dd23>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.rivercc.org/2019/06/16/lifes-questions-week-22-notes/" }

Steve Henderson's Memories of His Dad's IH Dealership Stephen C. Henderson As to the history of our IH business, my Dad was an IH dealer, but owned his own his own business rather than being a manager for an IH-owned store. He did start as an IH employee though. He was originally what IH called a “blockman” who traveled from dealership to dealership. His territory was northern Illinois and northern Indiana, which is how he found out the Wabash dealership was for sale. The dealer had died and Dad began by renting the building and property from his widow, whose name was Violet Goodin, in about 1943. He bought the property from her three or four years later I think. Dad’s business was named Henderson Farm Equipment, and was located at 473 South Miami Street in Wabash, Indiana. The phone number was 723; in those days there were no area codes or zip codes! The business also sold Packard automobiles as Henderson Sales Company from 1946 until 1952, when it became clear to Dad that the Packard company was not doing well. He also sold several other brands of farm equipment manufactured by smaller companies. Two that I remember were Fox and Papec forage harvesters. I began working behind the parts counter the summer after my 5th grade year. I was 11 years old and just about tall enough to see over the counter. Most customers were patient with me, unless they were in a hurry, but I had to ask Vic the parts man about everything that first summer. Vic had most of the frequently-sold parts numbers on top of his head and would rattle them off as soon as the customer told him what he wanted. I thought he was amazing. When I got to junior high, I was assigned to help Jack the setup man over at the warehouse, which was on the south side of Wabash County and many times into surrounding counties. We had an IH (what else?) R-132 truck with a flatbed implement trailer that tilted to load and unload. I was not allowed to load or unload tractors; it was too dangerous, and I was too young and inexperienced. But one fine afternoon Jack and I were assigned to come to the store to pick up an old F-20 and deliver it somewhere out in the county. Without asking Jack, I jumped on that F-20 (with hand brakes, no less) and backed it up onto the tilt trailer. When the tractor got over center, of course, the trailer would bang down and you had to hit the brakes right away to keep it from rolling off the front of the trailer. I grabbed both of those hand brake levers and pulled for all I was worth, and lo and behold, the tractor stopped rolling and stood still. It was loaded. Jack put chocks behind the tires until we could get chains and boomers on it, and I felt pretty good about it all—until I looked over at the store and saw Dad standing in the doorway. I thought I had survived the tractor loading only to be killed by my father. But he turned and went back into the store and never mentioned it. I loaded tractors from that day on. In the years before the Army Corps of Engineers built dams and created the reservoirs, we used to experience flooding about every year. Dad’s business was in the Wabash River bottom, and if the flooding was bad enough our store would be flooded. Many times we spent a couple of days driving all the tractors to the warehouse on the south side of town, which was on high ground. We also moved parts and equipment from the lower parts bins up to higher bins. And if the water kept coming, higher still. I can remember, as a junior high kid, driving brand new tractors, wheels still turned on backward for shipping and set in as close as possible with a foot or more of axle sticking out, through a couple of feet of rising muddy water and across the bridge to the south side. When I was in high school, I can also remember a January when the river flooded and we got two to two-and-a-half feet of water inside the store. Then it froze. The furnace was flooded, so there was no heat in the building. A school buddy and I donned a couple of pairs of chest waders, took an axe and chopped our way into the store through ice about ½ inch thick. Why? To see if we could, of course. It went with the age, I guess. Another time we used 2x4’s to build an outrigger on the horse trough and paddled it up and down Miami Street. Even with the outrigger, that thing was not seaworthy. It’s a wonder we didn’t end up in the drink. We did learn some lessons from the floods, though. We learned that when the river crested and the water began to recede, we could use garden hoses, shovels, and brooms to send the mud back with the river as it left. In the late 1950’s the Salamonie and Mississinewa Reservoirs were built, and the flooding ended. When I got old enough to drive, I was frequently sent on errands to other dealerships or to pick up various pieces of equipment. It was always a treat to get paid for driving a truck. For a kid like me, that was about the same as getting paid to eat ice cream. I remember going to Baer Field, as Fort Wayne International was then called, where IH had a depot. There were red tractors as far as the eye could see, or it seemed so to me at the time. I went there many times to pick up new tractors, and I was always instructed to pick out good paint jobs. Sometimes, I few didn’t check carefully we would get stuck with paint jobs that looked like they had been put on with a fly sprayer—very rough and very dry-looking. There were actually a few times when we had to repaint brand new tractors because the customer objected to the quality of the paint job. Today, at tractor shows, I am frequently amused by the restored tractors I see. A lot of the paint jobs have a clearcoat gloss that no new tractor in the 1950’s and 1960’s ever had, and I am reminded of my Dad’s admonition, “Don’t let them stick you with bad paint jobs. Look ’em over.” I think the much-vaunted factory paint jobs varied with the skill of the person assigned to do the painting. And one time I was assigned to go with Dad and another employee to the Fort Wayne Driveaway to drive back one of three CO-190 semi tractors for Unger Trucking in Wabash. Driving that thing back to Wabash I felt like the king of the world. Dad was known throughout the county for honest dealing, and his business thrived until the late 1950’s when business got tough for everybody. It was tough for us, too, but we survived and so did the business. It was still tough when I left for college in the Fall of 1961, and tougher still about seven months later when Dad was seriously injured in an automobile accident. He nearly died, and spent a year and a half in bed in a body cast. There was no one else to run the business. I had a working knowledge of the “nuts and bolts” stuff, but was far too green and inexperienced to actually run it. I knew it and Dad knew it. He told me to go back to college and I went. The doors closed for the last time in May of 1962. The property was bought some time later by Dorais Chevrolet and their dealership is still in that location. Many years later, a Case/IH dealership was opened in Wabash. It was owned by a man named Koenig who also owns the Case/IH dealership in Huntington. He closed the Wabash store a few years ago, held a huge auction (which I attended), and concentrated on his Huntington dealership. As of this writing there is no Case/IH dealership in Wabash.	2021-02-28T15:27:45Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361510.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228145113-20210228175113-00135.warc.gz	en	0.990821	1,710	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-10", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:2bc9af61-083a-4a73-a6f1-49b3d766947c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.harvesterheritage.org/steve-hendersons-memories-of-his-da" }
I was talking to a friend the other day and we were exchanging horror stories of various airports we had to transfer through when travelling. Over time I have developed a list of favourites and a list of no-gos that I will avoid if possible and I wanted to pass it on to hopefully help others avoid some of the less fun aspects of airline travel. Here are some tips for travellers from Canada when there is no choice but to get on a non-direct flight to some fabulous place abroad. 1. Avoid Toronto. Last time I flew through Toronto on my way to Europe I had to walk about 2 miles and show my boarding pass/passport to about 10 different people. I wish I was exaggerating, two of the people could even see each other they were so close but when I reached the second airport employee they made me show my passport and boarding pass yet again. It took ages and was quite annoying. 2. Choose Montreal. I have flown home through Montreal a couple of times and it was easy and quick. There is a special line at passport control for people transferring flights and my next gate was not too far away. Plus I only had to show my passport/boarding pass one time past customs, that was a win for me after experiencing Toronto. 3. If you are going to South America, consider transferring through Panama instead of somewhere in the U.S. That way you do not have to go through U.S. customs, which is required when transferring through the U.S. even though you are just passing through. Also, Panama was an easy transfer, lots to do at the airport, and you stay inside the secured area so no need to go back through the security check line again. 4. Avoid Las Vegas. I was forced through Vegas once on a transfer (if only I could have stayed for a few days it would have been better) and it was a nightmare. I had to go through customs, re-check my bag, get a new boarding pass (the Air Canada readers couldn’t read the boarding pass I received in Ecuador), then go stand in a massive security line to then rush to the gate. Not fun. 5. Avoid Frankfurt. To get a direct flight to Europe there are a few main choices from Western Canada, London, Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Both London and Amsterdam are much better options. Every time I have flown through Frankfurt it takes approximately an hour to get through the customs check, another hour to two hours to get back through security and by then you are running for your gate which is inevitably far away. If you have to use Frankfurt, make sure you have at least 3 hours between flights, you will need it. 6. Use Amsterdam for a trip to Europe. Amsterdam is an easy airport to transfer through and offers flights to any other European destination. 7. Use Minneapolis. If you do need to transfer through the U.S. use Minneapolis. It was quick, easy and there is even a Canadian/American line for customs which is much faster. The customs line for Canadians/Americans is automated, you are in and out quickly, your luggage is already there by the time you walk through and there is a separate security line for transferring passengers only that is right outside the gate beside where you drop your luggage. Perfect. 8. Avoid Los Angeles. On my way to Asia I transferred through L.A., it was busy and the transfer process was awful. As I was coming from Canada I flew into the domestic terminal and then had to transfer through the international terminal and it was ridiculously busy. People everywhere and it took forever. Better to transfer in Vancouver or another country overseas. 9. Use Phoenix. Phoenix is easy, my gates have always been close together and customs was fairly smooth, not as good as Minneapolis but nothing is. 10. Use Vancouver. It is a nice airport, lots to do, and is a great gateway to Asia as there are many direct flights from there. I’m always interested in new transfer options if anyone has recommendations, although my preference is always to try and go direct. If only it were always possible… At least hopefully there is a good airport to land in at the end!	2020-11-27T10:40:25Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141191692.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20201127103102-20201127133102-00715.warc.gz	en	0.981266	857	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-50", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:64f0dcb6-0483-4933-b654-05fd0b17d9c8>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://laurexplores.com/category/travel-tips/" }
The race to host a Formula 1 world championship Australian Grand Prix truly heated up in 1980. Alan Jones became the second Australian after Jack Brabham to win a Formula 1 world championship in that season. Jones’ success sparked an interest in Formula 1 back in his homeland, leading to Channel Nine showing regular telecasts of grand prix racing. In the same year, Bob Jane took over the running of the non-world championship Australian Grand Prix at Calder Park Raceway, revitalising an event that had stagnated. The 1980 grand prix included Formula 1 cars with Jones headlining and winning the race in his championship-winning Williams FW07B Ford. With Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser supporting a Formula 1 event in Australia, with the promise of multi-million dollar government funding for a potential host, it was up to states, circuits and promoters to come up with a suitable option. Also by this time, Bernie Ecclestone had well and truly wrestled control of Formula 1’s commercial rights through his Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), seeking to expand the sport’s horizons and commercial possibilities entering the 1980s. Having all-but exhausted its options of permanent tracks in Europe and North America and seeing the potential of marquee events in city centres, Ecclestone favoured street circuits in new markets such as Australia. “Why should I go all that way to have it on a racetrack?” said Ecclestone. “It’d be easier to put some gum trees at Brands Hatch [England] and call it the Australian Grand Prix. You’ve got to understand that people want to see a city.” Adelaide, though, seemed like a rank outsider given the other more populous Australian cities lining up with their own bids. Calder Park, to the north-west of Melbourne, shaped as the early favourite; the then host of the Australian Grand Prix having boosted the event by including Formula 1 stars, such as Jones, Niki Lauda (pictured above), Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost and Keke Rosberg. Plans for a significant upgrade and a name change to Melbourne International Raceway were the foundation of the bid to entice Formula 1 from 1984. Jane, one of Australia’s most successful racing car drivers turned entrepreneur and owner of Calder Park, soon realised, though, that his circuit didn’t meet Ecclestone’s criteria. “I’ve faced the reality of what Ecclestone wants for Formula 1; he’s the man with the final say and he wants a street race in Australia,” said Jane. “That rules us out. Now we won’t be running a grand prix, but I still hope Australia gets the chance. I’m prepared to co-operate with Ecclestone and with anyone he engages to organise a race here. “South Australia had the backing of the government and it became clear that was the best proposal for the Australian Grand Prix, something we all wanted to see happen and could see the benefits to all of us in motorsport.” On the other side of Melbourne, to the south-east of the city, Sandown Raceway emerged as a contender, having hosted the Australian Grand Prix six times between 1964 and 1978. Sandown’s bid received initial state government interest before a change of parties, with plans to extend and widen the track to meet international requirements. David Hardy, president of the Light Car Club of Australia that ran the circuit, said: “It’s a gamble… the money must be spent and the circuit built before Bernie Ecclestone will talk turkey.” The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS), the governing body of Australian motorsport that insisted it should lead any bid for a grand prix, appeared to be backing Sandown’s push, though it was also weighing up a proposal to build a new track at Ravenhall to the west of Melbourne. When Sandown reached out to Ecclestone to alert him of the $3 million it would spend on upgrades, he responded that he didn’t care if the track spent $30 million, Sandown wouldn’t be hosting Formula 1. He stated that the travel time and time-zone difference in Australia negated any benefits of racing there on a permanent circuit. There was talk of reviving the Albert Park street circuit that hosted the Australian Grand Prix in 1953 and 1956, which the Adelaide bid believed would be a serious contender with speculation about a multi-million dollar investment by the Victorian government into Albert Park. Victoria, though, had seen first-hand the fragility of street-circuit proposals with the loss of public support condemning the Albert Park circuit in the 1950s and a proposed touring-car event on the streets of Geelong in the 1980s never happening. With the local government unwilling to fund the proposals and Calder Park already hosting the non-championship Australian Grand Prix, there would be no support for a street-circuit alternative. The Melbourne strategy, be it at Sandown or Calder, was that Formula 1 would have to settle for an adequate permanent circuit when the street-circuit proposals failed to materialise. The headline contender soon became Sydney, with an ambitious promoter aiming to bring Formula 1 to Australia’s biggest city. Paul Dainty, an entrepreneur best known for promoting high-profile musical events, launched plans for a street circuit that would encompass the Rocks area, the Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay and past the Opera House. Dainty said that “Sydney would be the crowing jewel of the grand prix season, complementing Monaco” and looked to secure the grand prix from 1984. The bid had the backing of key figures in Formula 1, many of whom only knew of Australia through Sydney. Three-time Formula 1 world champion Jackie Stewart, a regular visitor to Sydney through various promotional roles, described it as “the most beautiful metropolis I visit in my travels, and yet half the world doesn’t know it’s there”. “The harbour, the bridge, the city skyline and the Opera house would make a magnificent backdrop to a Formula 1 race,” he said. “I think it’s ideally suited for a street race, particularly at present when the vogue is in favour of street racing.” Dainty’s aim was to attract investment of $4 million across a three- or four-year period, with the cost of the first event estimated between $4 million to $6 million. He argued the street circuit could attract that level of investment, given the extra interest it would generate compared to a permanent circuit. Also, it suited Ecclestone’s requirements. “He’s very keen to have a race in Australia, but he’s not keen to have the teams come all this way unless it’s going to be for a street race,” said Dainty. “He’s not just looking for another race on the calendar. He’s looking for races that will add charisma and image to the whole grand prix circuit.” However, Dainty warned, it couldn’t happen without the support of the local government and council. He promised it “would be a magical event, worth all the effort and aggravation”. Though the local government was initially interested, it wouldn’t come through with the necessary backing. Also, the Sydney city council and local businesses were unsupportive, forcing Dainty to plan for a team of 300 to 400 people to sell the proposal within the community. With no track route made available to the public, only adding to the doubts around it all, concerns over congestion and disruption of the proposed four to five-kilometre layout proved to be a fatal blow. Sydneysider Peter Wherrett, a racer turned motoring journalist, bluntly said: “Sure, I’d like to see it happen, but I’ve looked at every possible route in the logical areas and they just don’t work.” The stuttering Sydney bid was in direct contrast to Adelaide, which had the backing of the city council and state government. “One suspects that in a larger Australian city the common purpose so obvious in Adelaide would not be there,” said journalist Alan Kennedy. “It’s not hard to imagine Sydney foundering in a maelstrom of pressure groups, factionalism and petty jealousies if it tried to stage a GP.” There were more obscure bids, including in the nation’s capital of Canberra with talk of a multi-million dollar international-standard permanent circuit, and in Queensland, with speculation around a new street circuit or upgrade of the Surfers Paradise International Raceway. With these bids failing to meet Ecclestone’s demands or falling by the wayside, Adelaide emerged as the only option.	2021-05-08T01:16:00Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988831.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20210508001259-20210508031259-00301.warc.gz	en	0.954774	1,895	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-21", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:aeb476c3-c20f-4e45-a48c-dc79011c3ae7>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://adelaidegprix.com/2020/06/12/feature-the-other-contenders-for-the-australian-grand-prix/" }

All the boys may not all be riding the bus these days, but they certainly are in Pennsylvania as Barack Obama plans to hit the road for his first statewide bus tour. There was an "overwhelming response" from the media to the bus tour, but also from the general public. "The media interest has been high," said Obama spokesman Sean Smith. "We're trying to figure out how to juggle everyone on the bus and give everyone time" with the senator. One reason may be that it will be Obama's first time venturing beyond the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas into conservative regions such as Johnstown, that favor Hillary Rodham Clinton. He'll be going to plenty of places, though, where he has lots of support. Plus, who doesn't love a good road trip. Demands is also high for the first couple announced events in Pittsburgh and Greensburg. Tickets for Friday morning's rally at the Soldiers and Sailors Military Museum and Memorial in Pittsburgh were snatched up within "minutes," according to Smith. Minutes? What is this a Hannah Montana concert? Smith demurred when pressed for exactly how fast the tickets to the free event were distributed. But needless to say, he said, the 2,000 tickets were gone quickly.	2015-08-30T20:00:28Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065341.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00303-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.981263	258	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-35", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:6fa539e7-9756-4615-9a37-ca570d3738f0>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://blog.pennlive.com/pennsyltucky/2008/03/the_boys_on_the_bus_are_gettin.html" }
“You are glowing.” “It’s so good to see that smile again.” “You just seem like a weight has been lifted off of you.” “I feel like I haven’t seen ‘Nora’ in three years.” “I feel like I got my wife back.” The last two weeks, these are just some of the phrases those closest to me have said. It’s amazing what eliminating the main source of debilitating stress and anxiety can do for your appearance and your attitude. I haven’t been 100% forthcoming on here, and I feel too tender to be completely vulnerable now, but my job was killing me. Literally. Over the last three years I was in my last job, I developed serious anxiety and depression with weekly panic attacks, struggled with lymphopenia, developed lesions on my liver, breast tumors, pituitary tumor and gained over 50 pounds with little change to my diet. Doctors kept telling me that my health decline was being exacerbated by my stress and if I wanted to get better, I had to find a way to relax and ease my tensions. But my only real source of stress—the harassment I was experiencing at my office— only seemed to get worse with each passing day. At my job, I witnessed and experienced some of the worst workplace bullying I’ve ever heard of. Think 1950s management—screaming, cussing, berating and belittling. Doors slamming and fists pounding on desks. I nearly called the police twice when he was berating a coworker… and when the abuser found out I told on him to HR, he began exhibiting threatening and intimidating behavior toward me, most times when he knew there would be no witnesses. I daily feared for my safety and the safety of my coworkers. Meanwhile, my boss and current HR just shrugged their shoulders and said “well, that’s just how he is…” In fact, it was suggested that I have to hold hands with him. They laughed when I told them I was scared. They laughed when I told them I had began medication and therapy for the panic attacks I had been having as a result to his intimidation. You read that right… they laughed. It became clear that nothing was going to change. No matter how many times employees reported the behavior or how many times he was written up. On the night Brian and I decided I needed to resign and give my two week notice, a peace washed over me that I haven’t felt for years. For the first time in a long time, I went to bed on a Sunday night and slept like a baby. Since that time, God has done some amazing things that you wouldn’t even believe unless you had witnessed them yourself. A week after giving my notice, I was offered and accepted a position I had dreamed of having for years. I got to go back to my favorite office of all time, working for the best boss I had ever had, with some of my favorite people in the world. Today, I’m celebrating my first two weeks in the position and working there has been nothing short of sheer joy. I keep telling Brian I feel like I’ve won the lottery. If you see me out and about you may witness me literally skipping around because of the joy. If you are in a season of darkness and stress and weeping, hold on. JOY is coming. And if you need to make some major life changes in order to find JOY and PEACE, pray… then Take that leap of faith, and trust that God will carry you. Start the therapy, end the toxic relationship, quit the job. There is no badge of honor for living in misery. 2 thoughts on “Changes” Praise God…He always sends help just in time… so glad you listened to your body & God.

Compiled from Times wires © St. Petersburg Times, published March 8, 2001 FORT LAUDERDALE -- Albert Belle and the Baltimore Orioles agree that it's highly unlikely he will appear in another game, the Associated Press reported. Belle, who hasn't played this spring because of his injured right hip, was examined Wednesday by two team doctors. Belle, Orioles owner Peter Angelos and the players association discussed how to proceed with the outfielder's departure, and all agreed he probably wouldn't play again, AP reported. Baltimore owes Belle $13-million in each of the final three seasons of his $65-million, five-year contract, but 70 percent of each season's total is covered by insurance. The team's options appear to be releasing him or placing him on the 60-day disabled list for each of the next three seasons. Belle has missed all six spring games because of the injury, which has left him with a noticeable limp. The results of the examinations by orthopedic specialist Michael Jacobs and Dr. Charles Silberstein were not immediately available. Belle's agent, Arn Tellem, did not know the outcome of the examinations by late afternoon. Belle made a quick visit to the Orioles' training complex Wednesday morning. He drove away without speaking to reporters. If Belle cannot play, Chris Richard and Brady Anderson would play rightfield and Jeff Conine would take most of the at-bats as the right-handed designated hitter. "I understand the situation with Albert is important for everybody. Yeah, I'd rather not have it, and I'm sure Albert would rather not have it," manager Mike Hargrove said. "It's going to run its course." Also, Orioles right-hander Luis Rivera will miss the season after arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder. Rivera, 22, had a slight tear of the glenoid labrum. RED SOX: Right-hander Pedro Martinez threw 49 pitches in a simulated game in his first spring outing. He was happy with his fastball and curve and felt he could have pitched longer. "I felt pretty good. I felt strong," he said. "I was a little bit erratic but I should be okay by the next time I come out." ROYALS: Darcy Bochtler, the wife of right-hander Doug Bochtler, is scheduled to have surgery today in West Palm Beach to remove skin cancer near her right ear. TIGERS: Manager Phil Garner had a kidney stone attack just after 8 a.m. After the pain subsided and he visited a clinic, he made the one-hour drive to Kissimmee and watched the second half of Detroit's 9-4 win over Houston. "Let it not be said that I'm not willing to take one for the team," Garner joked. "I feel great. If you ever had a kidney stone, you know that you feel like you're going to die. Then the minute it's gone, it's gone and it's like it never happened."

It’s exactly one month until the regulations of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) are brought in and you will start to see a change in the way vaping products are sold and displayed in both the UK and further afield in Europe. As many of the changes that were brought in last year affected vaping brands and manufacturers, you might not have had to change the way you vape yet, though that could be set to change next month. In today’s post we’re going to outline the main points of the TPD that are likely to impact you, the consumer, so you can be confident that you have the information and facts you need to make any changes to your vaping purchasing habits before May arrives. A Maximum Nicotine Strength of 2% When you buy your e-liquid from V2 you’ll notice our nicotine strengths currently run from 0% to 2.4%. 2.4% is a popular option for those who have recently switched to vaping but it will no longer be available after May, with 1.8% being our highest nicotine strength from May 20th onwards. A Maximum E-Liquid Bottle Size of 10ml This regulation has been brought in to reduce any risk of accidental nicotine poisoning but it’s seen as one of the most frustrating regulations by vapers who enjoyed the cost-effective benefits of buying larger bottle sizes of their favourite e-liquid. A common argument we’ve seen against this regulation is that consumers are still free to purchase oversized bottles of alcoholic spirits or two litre bottles of bleach. While it might be frustrating, from May 20th the largest bottle of e-liquids legal for purchase in the UK will be 10ml. There are many large e-liquid tanks on the market and these are popular with vapers for a variety of reasons - with convenience being the main reason people opt for a larger tank. The larger the tank, the less often you have to refill. However, the new maximum size for a cartridge or e-liquid tank will be 2ml. All E-Cigarettes Must Provide a Consistent Amount of Nicotine This is one of the regulations that’s brought about the most confusion amongst vapers and manufacturers. The nicotine dose while vaping is determined by the way vapers draw rather than the device itself, so the jury’s out on how this is going to be regulated. All E-Cigarette Contains Must Have Child-Resistant Caps Safety is one of our top priorities at V2 so this is something we have had on our e-liquids for a long time now. While there are some arguments against certain elements of the TPD that seem to have no factual evidence behind them, the health and safety warnings and precautions show why regulations are so important. In order to move forward as an industry, it’s imperative that the health of consumers is in the forefront of each vendor’s and manufacturer’s mind. There are other regulations as part of the TPD, including advertising, marketing and packaging restrictions but the five listed above are the main five we think all consumers should take into account, as these are the most likely to impact the way you buy and enjoy your favourite products. New regulations always cause a certain amount of confusion so please don’t be shy if you have further questions about the TPD. Contact our customer service team or leave your questions on Facebook or Twitter and we’ll be sure to answer them for you.	2019-01-16T21:05:11Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583657867.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190116195543-20190116221543-00028.warc.gz	en	0.955254	720	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-04", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:cf6fd12e-ce70-4af9-b2c6-443104d96cec>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.buyv2cigs.co.uk/blog/the-tpd-and-you/" }
The kids always like to nibble after church on whatever is served in fellowship hall--fresh fruit, cookies, cheese, crackers, almost anything. Almost anything without nuts. Now, they aren't allergic, but, because they were sensitive to dairy, wheat, eggs, and soy until they were almost 3, we didn't give them nuts. And now they won't eat them. Trust me, we've tried, both directly and, well, indirectly. So I kept my mouth shut tight as Sis got a piece of cake at church that I knew to be almond-flavored. There were no nuts in sight, though, and she probably couldn't identify the flavor. She loved it! And so I sought out the congregant who'd made the cake, especially because I liked it, too. Lo and behold, it's right off the Solo almond filling can! I'll be making this again soon, but solo, so they don't catch on. Solo Almond Bundt Cake Almond Glaze Topping 1 cup confectioners sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract 2 tablespoon light cream 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 2 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoon baking powder 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 can Solo Almond Cake and Pastry Filling or 1 jar of any other fruit filling 1⁄4 cup milk Chocolate Glaze Topping (no chocolate on the one at church) 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3 tablespoon buttermilk or low-fat milk Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundt pan and set aside. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in almond filling until blended. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt until mixed. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat until blended. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on rack. To make glaze, combine ingredients in small bowl, and stir until blended and smooth. Spoon or drizzle over top of cake. Let stand until glaze is set. Or top with fresh fruit and whipped cream!	2018-03-24T08:12:02Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257649961.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324073738-20180324093738-00124.warc.gz	en	0.940488	539	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3b9353cb-e91c-4708-8bfc-b11af4e9fd14>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2013/06/nuts.html" }

Van der Waals interactions in density functional theory Boese, Adrian Daniel Scuseria, Gustavo E. Master of Science Various density functional methods have been tested for the van der Waals interactions of the rare gas dimers He$\rm\sb2,\ Ne\sb2$ and Ar$\sb2$ as model compounds. Detailed analysis proved that all tested and commonly used functionals are not suitable for an appropriate description of the interactions, even if Hartree-Fock exchange is used in combination with a correlation functional. However, within the framework of long-range density functional theory, van der Waals coefficients are correctly reproduced by a density-density interaction term. Adding these interactions separately to the tested functionals, surprisingly good results are obtained by using exact exchange.	2019-08-20T05:51:33Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027315222.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20190820045314-20190820071314-00505.warc.gz	en	0.857328	163	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-35", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:46222a55-dd61-40ac-a4e6-a22b91b6305c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://scholarship.rice.edu/handle/1911/17232" }
Amnesty International Calls Date 2007/2/8 13:05:00 \| Topic: Acts \|oAmnesty International Calls n New Turkmenistan President to Address the Country's Abysmal Human Rights Record\| Ahead of the presidential elections in Turkmenistan on February 11, Amnesty International issued today a list of recommendations for the next president to improve human rights. Some of these include ending the stifling freedom of expression, arbitrary detention and torture and unfair trials as well as violations of social and economic rights. "The next president, whoever it may be, has an opportunity to lead Turkmenistan into the international community of nations that allow freedom of expression," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA. "Obviously, state-controlled media and government-monitored Internet access are not the hallmarks of an open and engaged society. The new government needs to quickly enact policies to encourage its citizens to engage in civil society, not retreat." The regime of the late President Saparmurad Niyazov ruthlessly repressed any form of peaceful dissent. Dissidents were tortured and imprisoned after unfair trials or forced into exile. People were dismissed from their jobs and barred from traveling abroad simply because they were related to a dissident while the authorities targeted human rights defenders, portraying their activities as "treason" and "espionage." The subordination of executive, legislative and judicial powers to the president was significant to the failure of addressing impunity or counteracting the widespread abuse of human rights. "As a first step, Amnesty International calls on the new authorities in Turkmenistan to immediately release all prisoners of conscience and to appropriately address all other prison cases," said Maureen Greenwood-Basken, Amnesty International USA advocacy director for Europe and Central Asia. "We are providing the government a compendium of cases highlighting the people who have been imprisoned for many years following unfair trials for peacefully expressing their rights. In some instances, these dissidents may have been tortured or ill-treated." Ogulsapar Muradova, a human rights activist, was detained in June 2006, sentenced to six years imprisonment in an unfair trial in August and died in suspicious circumstances shortly afterwards. Despite worldwide international pressure the authorities have not conducted a thorough and impartial investigation into her death, and her two co-defendants remain in prison. Amnesty International believes that the three were targeted to punish them for their peaceful work as human rights defenders. Further steps must include the retrial in fair proceedings of the dozens of people convicted in connection with the November 2002 alleged assassination attempt on President Niyazov, the removal of travel restrictions imposed on dissidents and their relatives, and effective investigations into allegations of torture and other ill- treatment in detention and punishing the perpetrators. Amnesty International urges the new Turkmenistan government to comply with its international obligations and implement the recommendations issued by international human rights bodies. According to official reports, President Niyazov died early on December 21, 2006, of cardiac arrest. The same day the State Security Council and the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Medical Industries Kurbanguly Berdymukhammedov as acting president. President Niyazov's constitutionally designated successor, the chairman of the Mejlis (Parliament), was dismissed the same day and criminal charges were reportedly brought against him. On December 26, 2006, the Halk Maslahaty (People's Council) approved the nomination of the acting president and another five candidates for presidential elections due to take place on February 11, 2007. All are members of the Democratic Party of Turkmenistan, the only registered party in the country. The interim government ignored calls by exiled opposition groups to allow opposition leaders to run in the presidential elections. As a party to a number of United Nations (U.N.) human rights treaties, Turkmenistan is obligated to uphold key human rights principles. As a member of the Organization for Security and Co- operation in Europe (OSCE), Turkmenistan is bound to uphold its commitments with regard to the "human dimension," which include the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, freedom from arbitrary arrest or detention, the right to a fair trial, freedom of thought and conscience, freedom of movement and freedom of expression. In recent years the U.N. Commission for Human Rights and the U.N. General Assembly have adopted resolutions deploring the human rights situation in Turkmenistan. In October 2006 the U.N. Secretary General, reporting to the U.N. General Assembly, concluded that, "gross and systematic violations of human rights continued in [Turkmenistan]".

A Bride for Merlin Session IX, 3 March 2000 After taking care of his sister's protection, Lord Shandor sets about provisioning himself for Duke Flark's hunting expedition. As befits a Lord of Chaos, he will be expected to provide his own mount, along with any servants he may require. Having none of these items on his own account, he decides to borrow them from House Sawall. "Cousin, it's good to see you again," Duke Despil greets him as he enters the Study. "Please have a seat." The Duke gestures, and a large furry beanbag-looking thing moves towards him and settles within sitting range. Shandor sits down, and it forms itself into a very comfortable chair. "Thank you," Shandor says gratefully. He informs Despil of the hunting expedition, and explains his needs. "And so, you would like to borrow a few retainers for the trip," the Duke ventures. "Yes," Shandor affirms. "For how long?" "Just a few days." "Very well," the Duke answers, and rings a bell on his desk. A servant answers the summons. "Lord Shandor will need three retainers for a hunting trip. Also, please provide mounts for all." "Yes, my Lord," the servant responds, and goes about his duty. Changing the subject, Shandor asks, "How are things with King Merlin's search?" Despil frowns slightly. "I have decided to remain neutral in your campaign. Because Merlin is of House Sawall, there could be some concern that the House maintains imperial aspirations if he were to marry your sister. However, this is really none of your concern. You may continue your campaign on your sister's behalf." "Thank you," Shandor acknowledges, and makes his exit. Outside, he finds three of Sawall's Household Guards waiting, along with four wyverns. One of the retainers asks, "My lord, when was the last time you rode a wyvern?" This stumps Shandor momentarily, but he quickly answers, "Quite a while." "Right, then, we'll have to reacquaint you," he states. Shandor learns quickly, and they go to the Ways of Jesby to join the hunt. They arrive, and are escorted to the courtyard. Duke Flark and Baron Laan are there, along with Tela and Kor. Andreas Chanicut and Fendrith have also arrived recently. Baron Laan has thoughtfully provided a mount for Fendrith to ride. Lord Jendo of House Helgram arrives, accompanied by a half dozen retainers, all of them in demon form. When Jendo sees that everyone else (most especially, his host) is in human form, he and his retainers shift to human form. He greets each of the Lords in turn, then looks at Fendrith, obviously waiting to be introduced. Flark quickly says, "This is Fendrith, a personal friend and bodyguard to my niece, Seonaid." "Ah, your foster niece, the, ah... musician," Jendo says. Flark continues, "Fendrith, this is Lord Jendo, an Elder of House Helgram." Fendrith bows and says respectfully, "It is an honor to meet you." "Yes," Jendo agrees. Shandor, meanwhile, decides that the wyverns are inadequate for the task at hand. Reaching out into Shadow with the Logrus, he fishes out a large, naturally armored horse and gives his wyvern over to the care of the Jesby stable master. His servants immediately transfer his hunting supplies to the new mount, and he is soon ready to hunt. Seeing that everybody is ready, Flark proclaims, "Let the hunt begin! I have arranged a lodge for us in Axsum." The dogs, which look like miniature velociraptors, precede the hunting party. The quarry today is a medium sized, unnamed creature that looks like a gazelle (with poisonous horns). During the hunt, Lord Jendo and Duke Flark were seen discussing certain matters at length. (Log Keeper's Note: I can't make out most of the conversation, as the tape is particularly bad at this point.) The conversation begins with talk of an alliance between House Jesby and House Helgram. During the discussion, Flark mentions that the Princess Dara is being watched by entities that bear a striking resemblance to his niece's attackers. "Excuse me," says Lord Jendo, "But don't you mean your foster niece? She is not truly of the blood of House Jesby." "Yes," Flark agrees, "But bonds of friendship can be stronger than bonds of family." Duke Flark continues, expressing concern about entering into an alliance with someone who might be trying to cause him, or those around him, harm. "I can assure you," Lord Jendo says precisely, "that I bear you and House Jesby no ill will." "I see," Flark responds. "Then there is still the matter of my niece, Seonaid." "Your foster niece," Lord Jendo reminds him. "Yes," Lord Flark agrees, and looks at Lord Jendo expectantly. "I will respect her ties to House Jesby until such time as other ties are made public which would take precedence," Lord Jendo promises. Flark asks, "And do you think this outcome likely?" Jendo answers, "One has one's sources." "Well, then," Lord Flark suggests, "let us pool our resources on areas of mutual interest." "Certainly," Lord Jendo agrees. A while later, Fendrith approaches Lord Jendo. (Log Keeper's Note: I am paraphrasing from memory; the tape is absolutely unusable at this point.) Fendrith compliments Lord Jendo on his command of the sorcerous arts, and mentions that he also is a magician, working in the employ of Seonaid. Lord Jendo seems irritated that Fendrith would even dare speak with him, although he maintains civility. Fendrith continues, explaining how exciting things have been around Seonaid lately. He tells Jendo of the recent attacks on Seonaid, and how he was able to save her. When Fendrith decides that he has irritated Lord Jendo enough, he makes a cheery exit and continues the hunt. The hunting is good, and most everybody manages to bag at least one of the creatures. Before dinner, Lord Shandor decides to contact Lord Mandor with the Logrus. Before becoming aware that he has found him, he "feels" something "grabbing" his Logrus tendril and finds himself being rather unsubtly probed at the psychic level. Having established identity to his satisfaction, Lord Mandor finally greets him: "Oh, hello, Cousin, why didn't you just use a spell?" "I didn't have one," Shandor explains. He notices that the contact is limited to Mandor's face, and that he is not being allowed to see any of his surroundings. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Mandor seems to think about that for a short while, but says, "No, not really." "Well," Shandor begins, "I have been thinking of going through the Logrus again to attain better control of it's mystical properties. I was wondering if you knew of anything that would increase my chances of negotiating it successfully. Maybe some exercises or something..." "What worked the best for me was to have the Logrus already up before entering the cave," Mandor answers. "It's a bit disconcerting, but it accelerates the process." "Thank you for this information," Shandor says gratefully. "When I am actually ready to attemt the Logrus again, perhaps I will..." "Come to my room and knock on the door?" Mandor finishes for him. "Yes, that would probably be easiest on both of us," Shandor agrees. "Have a good hunt, Cousin," Mandor says, and cuts off the contact. Dinner is, of course, fresh game roasted to perfection. Afterwards, Fendrith checks in with Lady Anakara to find out how Seonaid is doing. She assures him that everything was fine "last time I talked to her". The hunt continues. (If anything af great importance happened, it is irretrievably lost in a garble of tape hiss. However, to the best of this logkeeper's recollection, we are not really missing much.) (The GM did gives the players a bit of a footnote. Three houses in Chaos refer to the "PatternFall War" as the "War of Amberite Aggression" -- Barimen, Hendrake, and Helgram. These were the principal perpetrators of the war. How a lord refers to this war is usually a pretty good indicator of where their sympathies lie.)	2018-08-15T13:26:29Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221210105.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20180815122304-20180815142304-00433.warc.gz	en	0.975778	1,925	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-34", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:65dc73e1-be7a-4eb8-b5b8-35adee75378d>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://fcain.tripod.com/amber_merlin_bride/log09.html" }

Morgan Stanley reported on Tuesday that it has lowered its rating on discount retailer, Kohl’s Corporation (KSS). The firm has downgraded KSS from an “Equal weight” to an “Underweight,” and has given the company a $42 price target. This price target suggests a 11% increase from the stock’s current price of $47.30. An analyst from the firm commented, “we question if KSS can drive the sales to achieve the Street’s $4.39 ‘13 EPS given macro headwinds and think EPS at low end of $4.15-$4.45 guidance is more likely. With shares at a ~6% premium to M’s ‘13 P/E, valuation looks high, and likely negative EPS revision catalysts carry added downside risk. … We anticipate negative ‘13 Softline retail traffic given a tough economic setup and higher payroll taxes. KSS’ high mid-tier consumer exposure makes the dept. store especially vulnerable, in our view. Plus, JCP’s ’13 sales and coupon re-intro intensifies competitive pressures.” Kohl’s shares were down -$1.39, or -2.86% during Tuesday morning trading. The stock has increased dropped -3% in the past year. The Bottom Line Shares of Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) have a 2.93% yield, based on Tuesday morning’s price of $47.74. Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com DARS™ Rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars.	2014-10-02T03:01:35Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663637.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00360-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.928316	363	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-41", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:75302a1a-b514-4b55-96b2-b6cfd7ef7006>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://thenumbers.marketplace.org/publicradio/news/read/23728136/morgan_stanley_downgrades_kohls_" }

In 2020, the Tauck Family Foundation (TFF) hosted its eighth annual Investee Cohort Gathering, but it’s first virtual one! We convened approximately 60 participants, including staff and Board members from investee organizations, community partners, TFF Board members, Advisory Committee members, and staff. The theme of the gathering was: A Time for Connection and Appreciation. Jennifer Miller, Author, SEL Consultant, and TFF Advisory Committee member, facilitated a fun icebreaker to kick off the afternoon. Participants then had an opportunity to connect with one another to reflect on a challenging year through engaging and interactive whole group activities and small group discussions. TFF staff and Board Members expressed gratitude to investee partners, who are truly champions for Bridgeport children, for their extraordinary efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic to support the students and families they serve throughout 2020. Laura Stickle from the Harvard Graduate School of Education conducted a closing activity and asked participants to share how they felt as they move forward in their work; the word cloud below captures participant feedback.

Basketball is an extremely popular sport. More people watch basketball than any other sport in the United States. It is played in driveways, parking lots, back yards, streets, high schools, colleges and professional arenas. Basketball’s popularity is not confined to the United States. The game is also enjoyed internationally, with rules available in thirty languages. Basketball is included among the Olympic sports. HISTORY OF THE GAME In 1891, a physical education instructor at a YMCA Training School in Massachusetts invented basketball as an indoor activity for boys. The game began with two peach baskets tied to balconies and a soccer ball used to shoot baskets. Two years later, two college teams began to play basketball. The game’s popularity has increased continuously ever since. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the largest professional sports league. It was created when the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged in 1949. The majority of professional players are recruited by the NBA from college ranks. HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED GENERAL PLAYING RULES The game of basketball is easy to understand. Players try to prevent their opponents from scoring while each team tries to get the ball through the basket that the other team is defending.Although the game is not difficult to understand, a tremendous amount of mental and physical endurance and skill is required from the five players on each team. A basketball team consists of a center, two forwards and two guards. The forwards are positioned near the opposing team’s basket so that they can be ready for shooting and rebounding. The center is located near thebasket or near the free-throw line so that he/she can be ready for shooting and rebounding. Guards normally bring the ball down the court to begin offensive play. The game begins with a jump ball. The referee tosses the ball into the air. As it comes down, one player from each team jumps upward in an attempt to tap the ball to a teammate. Once the ball is in play, team members dribble the ball in order to get closer to the basket or pass it to another player. “Dribbling” the ball means bouncing it onthe floor repeatedly with one hand. “Passing” means throwing the ball to a teammate. Passing is vital to scoring plays. In fact, most professionals consider good passing to be almost as important as accurate shooting. When the ball is put into the basket, it is called a “field goal” and two points are awarded to the team that scores. If the shot, however, was taken past the three-point line, then three points are earned. The National Basketball Association instituted a new distance of 20'-6" from the basket for the 3-point line. A “free throw” means a toss from behind the freethrow line, with no interference from the opposing team. If a player has been fouled by an opponent, the fouled player gets a free throw. If the free throw ball goes into the basket, the team gets one point. There are two types of fouls in basketball—personalfouls and technical fouls: A personal foul means that a player holds, pushes or trips an opponent. A technical foul may occur when the game is delayed, too many time-outs are taken, players leave or enter the court illegally or participate in misbehavior such as disrespect toward A team may lose possession of the ball for “traveling.” Traveling occurs when a player runs or walks with the ball. Double dribbling (bouncing the ball with both hands or stopping dribbling, then starting again) can also cause a team to lose possession of the ball. DEFENSE AND OFFENSE Professional basketball teams play four 12-minute quarters. College-level play amounts to two 20-minute halves, and high school basketball is four 8-minute quarters. In the case of a tie game, teams play overtime. Professional teams play 5-minute overtimes. High school and college teams play shorter overtimes. The zone and player-to-player (once called “man-to-man”) systems are two defensive techniques. The zone system uses each player as a guard, protecting a specific zone near the basket that his/her team is defending. Guarding the ball is more important than any particular player in this type of defense. In the player-to-player (“man-to-man”) system, the opposite is true. Each player guards a player from the opposing team in order to keep theopposition from scoring. The fast-break offensive style offers fast movement from one part of the court to another and a chance for scoring. It is characterized by fast, quick passes down the court and using more players on the attack than the opposition has for their defense. Slower, more deliberate play characterizes the slowbreak style. This technique calls for more thoughtful action; players maneuver carefully in order to shoot in this type of offense. PLAYING TECHNIQUESTYPES OF SHOTS ONE-HAND SHOT A shot executed with both hands holding the ball initially. The ball is then pushed into the basket with one hand. HOOK SHOT The ball is thrown to the basket over one shoulder of the player who is handling the ball. The center and forwards on a team will find this shot extremely valuable. TWO-HANDED SHOT A shot usually made when a player is not close to the basket. The ball is thrown with two hands. This type of shot tends to be quite accurate. JUMP SHOT A shot in which the player shoots the ball into the basket at the top of the jump. LAY-UP A shot in which a basket is attempted from under the net; generally considered one of the easier shots. TIP-IN A shot in which the ball is tapped back into the basket as it rebounds from the backboard.FREE-THROW A shot in which a player who has been fouled shoots from behind the free-throw line. TWO-HANDED CHEST PASS A pass used for short, fast passing of distances up to twenty feet. TWO-HANDED OVERHEAD PASS A popular pass that can be used from anywhere on the court; especially good for closely-guarded players. ONE-HANDED OVERHEAD PASS A pass used as a long pass from any position on the court. Like all onehand passes, this move takes more time to perform and requires excellent control. BOUNCE PASS This pass is used when two players are relatively close to each other. The ball usually bounces once before being caught by the other player. ONE-HAND UNDERHAND PASS An effective move when the passer is moving at fast speeds; difficult to perform and should be used only when no alternative exists. EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING A basketball is about two and a half feet in circumference and weighs 22 ounces. Baskets are made of a metal ring with an inside diameter of 18 inches. Netting or webbing hangs from the ring. Two baskets, one at each end of the court, hang 10 feet above the floor. The standard basketball court measures about 50 feet by 94 feet. Clothing is loose-fitting and designed for freedom of movement. Contemporary “longshorts” were made popular by superstar Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. Shoes are specially designed to withstand pounding the floor in jumps and other movements, as well as to brace the feet and ankles during violent lateral movements. BASKETBALL NOTES AND NEWS The Spurs will no longer be known as the “San Antonio softies.” After 26 years of frustration and great teams that never produced a championship, San Antonio finally finished on top in 1999. Both teams saved the best game of the NBA Finals for last with a thrilling 78-77 Spurs victory over the New York Knicks. San Antonio’s run of success through the playoffs ended with a missed shot by the Knicks at the buzzer, a celebration in front of a stunned Madison Square Garden crowd and the Spurs’ first NBA title. Duke and Notre Dame etched their names in the annals of NCAA Tournament history in 2001. Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy helped the Blue Devils earn their 82-72 victory over Arizona in the men’s final in Minneapolis’ Metrodome. And “March Madness” came to an exciting end in St. Louis, where Ann Meyers Drysdale saw seniorsRuth Riley and Kelley Siemon lead the Irish to a 68-66 win over Indiana state rival Purdue. Jordan is back for the 2001-2002 pro basketball season. But this time he is playing for the Washington Wizards. His supporting cast has no Pippens, Grants, Paxsons, or Rodmans, and he doesn’t wear a Bulls uniformany longer. He’s 38 years old and not yet the shape he wantsto be in, but he is still No. 23 and he is still Michael Jordan. He finished his first game with the Wizards with 19 points against the Knicks, but it still wasn’t enough for a team victory. In fact, Jordan had the game in his hands during the final seconds with the Knicks leading 91-88 and couldn’t close. At the summer 2000 Olympics in Sydney the medal results were as follows: Women:Gold - USA, Silver - Australia, and Bronze - Brazil.Men: Gold - USA, Silver -France, and Bronze - Lithuania.

Hearts forward Steven Naismith believes he seized his moment and proved a point in Scotland’s 2-0 win against Albania last night. His effort ricocheted off Berat Xhimshiti to open the scoring before he headed his country’s second goal in the Nations League tie at Hampden Park. Having been left out of Alex McLeish’s original squad, Naismith felt he had to make a serious impact on the national coach or risk being left out again. He was called up last Monday to replace Oli McBurnie after starting the season with seven goals in eight games for Hearts. He is now nearing 50 caps after featuring in Friday’s 4-0 friendly loss to Belgium and then starring in last night’s success. The 31-year-old, who is on loan at Tynecastle Park from Norwich City, stressed he is eager to stay in the Scotland squad and has no plans to retire after his goalscoring display. “I’d felt I’d given myself as good a chance as possible of getting in the squad,” he explained. “I was left out but with the call-offs, the manager phoned and asked me to come in. “When that happened, I thought: ‘I have to make an impression here or that’s me done, really.’ So I worked hard during the week in training. If there was a point to be made and the manager wanted to know something, I told him what I thought. “The manager gave me the opportunity, I was rewarded with a start and I made an impact. Was it my last chance? You never know. Circumstances can change. “If I’d continued on the same way I started the season with Hearts, I would have put pressure on to get in the squad. I am just grateful to get a chance and be part of a young squad starting out – just like me ten years ago.” Asked if retiring from Scotland duty ever crossed his mind, he replied: “I think I’ll always keep going. If it had an effect on my club career then that’s when you maybe start to think. “I missed a bit of football last season and then enjoyed it towards the end of the season. I’m just going to enjoy every minute of every game I play in.” Naismith said he feels he can score in every match due to soaring confidence. He headed against the post from close range in the first half but recovered with two vital interventions for the goals after the break. “Yeah, I knew I would get chances even after the one I headed off the post,” he said. “As you get older, you’ve got a bit more calmness about you in the box in those precise moments. That has definitely helped me this season.” He was disappointed to learn he was not credited with the first Scotland goal. “So I’ve been told. I scored one it’s still a good start. When you’re playing as a striker with Scotland, the question is about goals, goals, goals. “Callum McGregor had three or four efforts blocked. If he had scored the goals, I don’t care. And I don’t care what anybody says – we’ve won and we’re moving forward. “It was a great win. It was really enjoyable to be part of that kind of performance. A lot of credit goes to the younger boys for the way we played. Reading some of the comments after the Belgium game, I was asking myself: ‘Did we not just play the team ranked second in the world?’ “Guys like John Souttar, Kieran Tierney and even Andy Robertson as captain are starting out their Scotland careers. There is pressure on them but they were brave enough to still get on the ball and carry the play forward. “That’s what the manager wants and they did it. It would be easy for the younger players to crumble, but they didn’t. I was thinking before the game: ‘This is a test, how will these guys react?’ “Even at half-time at 0-0, it would have been easy to go direct and play into Albania’s hands. We didn’t do that. We put good balls into the box and it paid off with the win.”	2018-09-23T08:31:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159165.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923075529-20180923095929-00058.warc.gz	en	0.985372	958	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-39", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:1246ae08-275c-4524-9bd9-68212a190772>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/steven-naismith-i-had-to-make-an-impact-to-save-scotland-career-1-4797865/amp" }

Dambuk: ( By Bishnu Rana ) If you are traveling to Dambuk in winter you will come across orange garden at the side of NH-13 and the hilltop which virtually called as orange bowl of Arunachal Pradesh. Dambuk located at the mesmerizing hillock in the deep inside of Eastern Arunachal is known to produce one of the best qualities of oranges in the country. The traveler can have a taste of it as the local vendors at the side of highway sells oranges. For the tourists and first time traveler it would be a wonderful and mesmerizing experience. As a traveler, I was fond of tasting season’s first orange. When I reached Dambuk I happened to meet one of the roadside vendor name Kare Ratan doing her Final years BA in Economic subject from Shillong (Meghalaya) selling bucketful of oranges. When I asked about her profession other then selling orange, she in dignity said that she should extend her helping hand to the parents during vacation or free time. “Since the COVID lockdown, I have been engaged in orange orchard to get bumper harvest and for that in every morning we along with parent climb hills which is far away to maintained the garden and today we sells it one orange in Rs 10/- and daily half days sale turnover is Rs 3000/-. It’s a means of livelihood and only major cash crop for us“, she says with dignity. Another village lady said, she used to earn Rs 7000 to 8000/ in a day. “Most of the orange are exported and farmer mostly auctions the entire garden having large holding to outsiders. I have two acres of garden and getting good return during the season”, informs the vendor. The season has just started but the best time is December and the real taste of orange can be felt at that time but this quality is not best and just to meet daily expenses we are selling, she adds further. The Khasi – Mandarin species of orange is predominant of its kind and is exported in quality. The Oranges of Danbuk in Arunachal went global, first consignment flied to Dubai in the year of 2018. The famed juicy oranges from Arunachal Pradesh in the North-east have finally made it to the global market. Other than this, the quaint valley followed with Orange Festival of Adventure and Music (OFAM) in winter every year that invites adrenaline and music junkies since 2014.	2021-04-19T12:31:30Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038879374.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210419111510-20210419141510-00221.warc.gz	en	0.963134	513	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-17", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:7b1d320d-cf56-4bad-af3e-1788f15d2fc2>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://arunachal24.in/dambuk-the-orange-bowl-of-arunachal-pradesh/" }

While you're in the TableMaker code, here's another problem I'm having trouble working around. The %1-substitution mechanism from the Tree window "Tables..." box (via wspec/table.menu.wrm) into the Condition of a column definition still isn't satisfactory. A long time ago (ace3-0 or before) I complained that it didn't work when the name of the current object contained multiple words, so you fixed it by substituting only the first word of the name. Thus I could find the desired objects using "%1". E.g.: The only problem with this was the degeneracy, that all objects beginning with that word are found as hits, not just the current object. Now under ace4_1 there's an additional problem. The "" is being stripped off, so no hits are found at all. I wonder if it would be possible to substitute the whole object name into the Condition, enclosed in double-quotes so multiple words are allowed.

Heating Oil AdvantagesWhy is heating oil the right choice for heating your home or business? There are many reasons, but here are some of the big ones that continue to hold up regardless of what happens in the fuel markets: - Greater Comfort: heating oil produces the hottest flame of any heating fuel, so it can heat your whole property faster and better than other fuels, while burning fewer gallons to keep your home at the exact temperature you desire. - All Reward, No Risk: heating oil is one of the safest fuels on the market because it's non-flammable in its liquid state. Even if you were to drop a match into your oil tank, the match would simply burn out as if it were dropped into a cup of water. - Dependability: there is always an ample supply of heating oil available, thanks in part to the 1-million-barrel Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve.

While it is still very early in the build of the Kharkov, I wanted to post some initial first impressions related to this kit. To date, I have completed about 80% of the wing structure and I will base this report on that much of the build so far. This is both my first ‘Easy Built Models’ kit and the first rubber band powered freeflight kit that I have built. I have to say that I am very impressed with the kit so far. The quality of the balsa and kit components is top notch. The balsa is extremely lightweight (critical in a freeflight model) and accordingly it is also very delicate. An ‘easy touch’ is critical when working with this kit so as to not damage what you are trying to build. All the balsa pieces are laser cut which is also excellent. The pieces practically fall out of their balsa sheets and the fit of one piece to another is right on. Very little sanding will be required once the airframe is all constructed. All of these factors greatly speed up the construction process. I have noticed that the instructions are somewhat lacking. They are pretty much along the line of ‘build the wing, build the fuselage, cover the plane, …’. While this is a bit of an exaggeration it is not too far from the truth. Even though this is a relatively easy kit to build and building most of it should be intuitive to an experienced builder, I would not necessarily recommend it to a first time modeler based on the included instructions. The plans are also a bit deceptive in that not all balsa pieces are shown. The center section of the wing has one place with both a top and bottom spar in the same location on the the ribs. The plans show the top spar. The bottom spar is slightly longer and this is not shown. As a result, I cut and glued in the bottom spar only to later learn it is a bit too short on each end. This mistake will be easy to correct and it could have been caught with a little better study on my part of the spars and ribs prior to gluing them, however, it does point out that careful studying of the plans and parts is needed before applying glue. This wing has compound dihedral and that is the last thing needing to be dealt with in the build phase. The center (straight) section of the wing is actually 2 separate pieces each with 3/32″ of dihedral from the center rib to the end rib of each section. The tapered wing sections are then added with an additional 1.25″ of dihedral on each of them. All of this can be seen represented by the four separate pieces of the trailing edge in the below photo. After the wing sections are glued together with the proper dihedral there are a couple more small spars to be added and then the wing assembly will be completed. Here is a photo of the wing assembly as it currently stands: (Click on the photo to get a large image with higher resolution)	2021-11-29T23:55:44Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358847.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129225145-20211130015145-00057.warc.gz	en	0.972517	621	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-49", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:641cccd8-97a4-4e35-a742-7f214335dac3>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.flyboyzblog.com/kharkov-r10-build-report-01/" }
Riau — An environmentalist says three endangered Sumatran elephants have been found dead on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, apparently the latest in a string of elephants to be poisoned. National park official Kupin Simbolon said Monday that they found the bodies of three female elephants on Sunday on the edge Tesso Nilo park in Riau province. Simbolon says autopsy results show the animals were apparently poisoned. It brought the number of the Sumatran elephants found dead in Riau to 11 since March. Five others were found poisoned in Sumatra’s Aceh province since April. The poisonings could be accidental as farmers use pesticides to protect their crops on the island. Fewer than 3,000 Sumatran elephants are left in the wild. Environmentalists say they could be extinct within three decades unless they are protected.	2017-06-29T12:19:00Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323970.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629121355-20170629141355-00046.warc.gz	en	0.935141	180	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-26", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:247badd5-b4d6-4bbf-ba1e-9515a1e1f82c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://atjehnews.com/news/1557/2012/11/12/three-endangered-elephants-found-dead-in-indonesia" }

Nevada County is blessed with a remarkable array of talented local photographers who spend time capturing the splendor of our Sierra Nevada Foothills via the lens of their cameras. All of the photography used on our website was taken in Nevada County and generously donated by our talented team of photographers. Thank you all for your ability to capture the beauty that symbolizes the spirit and diversity of our community. Nevada County lured me here 20 years ago with its beauty. This is where I have raised my 5 daughters. My love affair with the outdoors took root while growing up on a farm/ranch in the Texas hill country near Austin. I received a degree in Architecture from the University of Houston, and my minor was in photography. My desire for more elbow room brought me to beautiful Nevada County and my career path returned to my true passion, the art of photography. Douglas enjoys spending much of his free time hiking, swimming and photographing the Yuba watershed. “While out in nature I connect with the elements by being very still and observing a scene for some time before taking a photo.There is a lot out there that wants to be revealed if only we can slow down to see it.” “The only reason I’d move up there is for the night sky.” That’s what I used to tell my mom, who was always trying to get me to move up to Nevada County. Nevada County, before all of its beautiful scenery, is about the people. People living life to the fullest in a beautiful setting of diverse culture and Mother Nature. The community’s alive here – I love capturing this as best I can. John A. Mallery John received a roll-film bellows Kodak from his grandfather when he was 8 years old. He has avidly enjoyed making pictures ever since. “John remains reluctant to think too highly of his work–he does not sell his photos, but gives them away from the massive pile on our side table in the dining room! His eye for composition, beauty in nature, and human emotion is expressed in his photos; I love to see him “work” as well as look over his shoulder when he is editing.” -Robin Mallery	2013-05-21T07:54:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699798457/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102318-00053-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.973611	461	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2013-20", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:49c074c7-ce18-4ab0-b82a-50e44b368732>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://nevadacountyescapes.com/about/contributors/" }
Xbox One OS and Xbox Live issues bouncing about as we approach launch Cut some stuff, more at the link. The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete fucking mess. One source says we aren’t talking weeks until it works correctly but “months.” Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc. “Let me get into some technical detail regarding it – on 360, the OS handles all of the party and chat functionality. All you do is hook up the XBL VOiP OS API into your game, and it does most of the work for you. With it results in is a shared experience across multiple entertainment. If you’re watching movies or playing games, you can do it together. However, this system is entirely different on Xbox One. So, lets say me, you, and Thuway have xbox one’s that are online. We are signed in our profiles. Sitting at the home screen, we are considered to be in a “Xbox Party” on the server. There are no more ‘party leaders’. With that said if any one of us decide to start a game, the party is shifted over to that game’s party system. Each game now has their custom written VOIP.” (Pete note: shoutout to thuway!) I asked if could be fixed soon. He said that anything is possible and Microsoft is obviously working on it but he thinks it will be months, not weeks. Getting online launch games certified is taking so long that it’s pushing games after launch back.	2015-03-28T18:49:45Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131297689.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172137-00163-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.957051	361	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-14", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:547ea331-3bd3-42cf-b6e7-7a7368022c4c>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=705280" }
People often perceive this disease as something trivial that is common for everyone Jokes about hemorrhoids create an impression that they are the disease of elderly people. Unfortunately, the shameful ailment develops with people of 28-55 years of age, as a rule. Proctologists, however, say that the disease is becoming less mature and troubles younger people as well. As a rule, hemorrhoids develop because of the insufficient movement, fondness for alcohol drink and fast food. The majority of modern people spend all their days sitting: when they work, drive a car, watch TV and so on and so forth. A human being, however, is “programmed” for different activities: to walk, to run, to lay down, but not to sit. A seated position of a body results in blood congestion in pelvis and swollen veins in the rectum and anus. Hemorrhoids are also known as the drivers' disease for this reason. As for hemorrhoids, people often perceive them as a trivial disease common for everyone and that they can be cured without doctors' help. Hemorrhoids are a pathology, which does not imply any self-treatment at all. Even expensive ointments and gels cannot cure the disease, although they do help reduce the itching, bleeding and relieve the pain. The effect, however, will only last of a short while. Needless to say that the rectum is the dirtiest organ of a human body: up to ten billion pathogenic bacteria live on one cubic millimeter of the rectum. It is easy to imagine, what may happen there if rectum vessels are ruptured. Constant bleeding is the most unpleasant aspect of hemorrhoids. A drop of blood every minute will make an individual suffer from anemia in two or three weeks. People prefer to keep silent about hemorrhoids for two reasons: they are deeply ashamed to visit a proctologist or they are simply afraid of the operation. It is noteworthy that modern medicine does not make surgery absolutely necessary at this point. Doctors say that only one of ten individuals eats three times a day. Others are satisfied with one or two meals a day: they have breakfast at home and buy junk food somewhere in the afternoon. The intestines cannot function normally under such conditions: the perfect nourishment consists of five or six meals a day, a little at a time. Vegetables, porridges, dairy products and fruit are highly recommended as a part of the hemorrhoids-preventing diet. Chocolates, cakes and buns, sausages, tanned meat and rice are to be restricted, whereas spicy dishes and alcohol should be excluded from the menu of those, who have been deprived of the luxury to sit straight. Any slightest discomfort in the rectum or anus should be perceived as a troubling sign. Rectal bleeding is the obvious signal to consult a doctor: the bleeding may be caused not only with hemorrhoids, but also with malignant growths in the intestines. Constipation is also a serious reason to attend a doctor's office. Prominent people used to say: “Blessed is he who has easy stool in the morning. He happily digests the food and enjoys life's little comforts.” Self-treatment is out of the question in the event of sudden bleeding or pain. A good walk is considered the best and the most efficient measure to prevent hemorrhoids. Several steps a day to a car or to the office will not produce any effect. A six-kilometer walk is the daily minimum.	2018-01-24T11:41:24Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084894125.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20180124105939-20180124125939-00092.warc.gz	en	0.96759	727	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-05", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:f000a2ba-5a5f-470e-98af-f68d0fae9fee>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.pravdareport.com/science/tech/10-12-2004/7489-hemorrhoids-0/" }
Collie Leroy Wilkins Jr., 51, a Ku Klux Klansman convicted in one of the most infamous slayings of the civil rights era. Wilkins was the last survivor of three Klansmen accused in the 1965 shooting death of Viola Liuzzo, a white Detroit housewife and mother who went to the South and volunteered to help register blacks to vote. Liuzzo was shot from a passing car on a highway as she drove a black marcher home after the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march. An FBI informant claimed that Wilkins was the triggerman. An all-white state jury acquitted Wilkins of murder. Later that year, Wilkins was convicted in federal court along with William Orville Eaton and Eugene Thomas of violating Liuzzo's civil rights. Wilkins served about seven years of a 10-year sentence. In his later years, he distanced himself from the Klan and worked as a mechanic. In Birmingham, Ala., on Dec. 23 of undisclosed causes.	2014-12-26T00:53:50Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1419447548479.105/warc/CC-MAIN-20141224185908-00097-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.969033	206	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2014-52", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3f13f9a7-40b5-4080-9b3f-f381cb6c3658>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://articles.latimes.com/1994-12-31/news/mn-14727_1_civil-rights" }

Sydney fans were seeing red, St Kilda supporters had smoke coming out of their ears and Adelaide tragics were baffled on another weekend where AFL umpiring came under the spotlight. All teams, playing interstate against the Western Bulldogs, West Coast and Hawthorn respectively, were on the end of lopsided free kick counts - with the Swans (18-31), Saints (8-23) and Crows (11-22) all getting the raw end of the pineapple. It left many fans, coaches and experts wondering about the effect of hometown crowds influencing umpires' decision-making, especially when a team hosts an interstate rival. Statistics do show that home teams tend to win more free kicks than visitors, but not all sides benefit equally from this skew towards the locals. In recent years, home teams have averaged around 1.5 to 2 more free kicks than their opponents each game. Last year, the average free kick differential between home and away teams hit 2.1 - the highest figure since the early 1990s. Strikingly, in the first two rounds of the 2017 season, home teams have averaged 3.6 more free kicks than their opponents, but it's too early to conclude much from that. Free kicks in the AFL: Home clubs tend to win the free kick count, but not all teams fare equally well with the umpires. West Coast have done particularly well over the years, securing an average of 4.4 more free kicks than their opponents when playing at home since 2000. The Bulldogs, too, have received a sizeable leg-up - they have averaged 2.8 net free kicks in their home games this century. But at the other end of the spectrum, the Hawks at home have tended to get slightly fewer free kicks than the away team, leaving them with a negative average net free kick count; the figures for Brisbane and Melbourne are also negligible. Average net free kicks: Of course, we shouldn't expect free kick counts to be even in individual games. A fairly adjudicated game isn't one in which both sides walk off the ground having received the same number of frees; it's one in which the umpires paid legitimate free kicks and didn't pay any that weren't there. But it's a little surprising that some teams seem to get such an advantage when it comes to free kicks, even when we average over the 16 and a bit seasons of this century. So why do certain teams seem to do well on free kicks? One theory is that clubs win more free kicks because they're better teams. Maybe the Bulldogs and Eagles do well out of the umpires because they play quality, clean football. But the problem with this is the net free kick count seems to have no relation to a club's quality. There's no relationship between the difference in teams' pre-game Elo ratings and the difference in the number of free kicks they receive in that game. Similarly, if we look at the Eagles and Bulldogs over the years, we see that there doesn't seem to be a relationship between the teams' quality and their average free kick differential when playing at home. The Eagles' best two years for free kicks this century were 2008 and 2010, both years in which they limped home to four wins. Their quality can't have been the reason for their large advantage in free kicks at home in those years. Similarly, the Dogs had a better home free kick differential in 2003, when they won the wooden spoon, than they did in 2016, when they won the flag. Not only does the average free kick differential not have any relationship with the side's quality, but it doesn't seem to relate to the style of play, either; the Eagles of 2006 and 2016 were very different beasts, but their average net free kicks at home in each season were quite similar. If teams' style of play were a big factor, we'd expect to see outfits like the Eagles and Bulldogs maintain similarly large free kick differentials when they play away from home, but they don't. Relationship between free kick differential and team quality: So the free kick differential doesn't seem to be all about quality teams doing well from the whistle. What else could it be? Another theory is that free kicks are all about being first to the ball. Win contested possessions, the theory goes, and you'll win free kicks. There is actually quite a bit to this theory, but it doesn't nearly explain all of the story when it comes to free kicks. If we take a look at individual players, we can see that there is a relationship between how many contested possessions you accrue and how many free kicks you receive. On average, each extra contested possession that a player averages in his (we don't have AFLW data) career is associated with an extra 0.09 free kicks per game. If a player averages 10 contested possessions a game, he can expect to receive about 1.18 free kicks per game. But there's big variation in this figure - Joel Selwood, for example, averages 11.4 contested possessions a game, but comes away with an average of 2.64 free kicks each match, well above the average for a player who wins that amount of contested ball. Selwood gets a similar number of contested possessions each game as Trent Cotchin, but averages significantly more free kicks. Winning the contested ball generally wins you free kicks, but there's clearly a lot more going on. Players' career average contested possessions and free kicks received: The story's similar when we look at teams, rather than players. The graph below shows the relationship between clubs' contested possession differential and the free kick differential; each dot is an individual game. You can see, looking at the red line, that the relationship between teams' contested possession differential and free kick differential is positive, but you can also see that the relationship is weak and noisy. In statistical terms, the contested possession differential only explains about 6 percent of the variation in net free kicks that home teams receive. Relationship between home teams' free kick differential and contested possession differential in each game: Free kicks don't just go to the better team. They also don't just go to the side that's first to the ball - the contested possession differential only goes a small part of the way towards explaining the net free kick count. There's clearly a lot of other things going on. To try and figure out what else might contribute to explaining free kick differentials, we can build a simple model. Contested possessions aren't the only statistic that's correlated with winning more free kicks. Tackles, kicks, uncontested possessions, one percenters and contested marks also have a statistically significant relationship with free kicks. If we add these things to our free kicks model, as well as a variable indicating whether the away team is playing out of their home state, we can explain about 10 percent of the variation in net free kicks, quite a bit more than when we use contested possessions alone. The graph above shows that a home side, on average, can expect to win the free kick count by 0.77, all other things being equal. If they're playing at home against a side that's travelled interstate, the expected free kick differential rises to 1.42. For each extra contested possession the home side gets over their opponents, the net free kick count rises by 0.09. Somewhat surprisingly, the relationship between net tackles and net free kicks is positive; if a team tackles their opponents one more time than they're tackled in return, this raises the expected free kick differential by 0.03. So the way that teams play does have an effect on their free kick counts. But even after we take into account the contested possession differential, the differential in kicks, and other factors that have a relationship with free kicks, some teams' advantage persists. On average, the Eagles have received 2.3 more free kicks per game than the model predicts. Remember that the Eagles average 4.4 free kicks per game more than their opponents when playing at home; about half of that differential remains after we've controlled for contested possession differentials and all the other things in our model. So why do the Eagles get so many free kicks at home, even after controlling for contested possessions and other factors? The perhaps obvious answer might be that the Eagles play in front of a near-sold-out, one-eyed crowd every time they take to the turf in Subiaco. West Coast's free kick advantage might stem from the effect - subconscious, I'm sure - that crowd noise has on the umpires' propensity to blow their whistles. If this is what it boils down to, AFL football umpires are no different from their counterparts in other sports. A range of research over the years in sports from basketball to soccer suggests home crowds have a small but significant influence over umpires' behaviour, and this difference in umpiring is the main factor behind home-ground advantage. Footy's home-ground advantage is around the middle of the pack when it comes to professional sports; the home side wins about 58 percent of the time. Games won by the home team (percent): So perhaps the most important message to fans is to turn up to see your team play - your cheers and jeers might matter more than you think. Even if the players aren't affected by your outbursts, the umpires just might be.	2018-02-19T23:29:37Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812855.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219231024-20180220011024-00087.warc.gz	en	0.978903	1,930	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-09", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:71baeb6d-d112-4356-8ef4-109369a125f6>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/19071496/footy-forensics-statistics-explains-free-kick-counts-2017-afl-season" }
Analyst Believes Theaters Won't Open Until September, Cinemark & Imax In Best Position To Survive According to MKM Partners analyst Erik Handler (who I like to imagine is just Ben Stiller's Risk Analyst character from ALONG CAME POLLY) we aren't going to be able to smell extremely cold air conditioning and buttery popcorn goodness for at least fifty more days. Well, now I just hope he eats too much indian food and gets the shits in front of Jennifer Aniston. THR reports that Handler says: "The near-term outlook for exhibition related stocks remains extremely clouded given the uncertainty about when theaters will be able to re-open with new Hollywood content. We place a low likelihood of TENET opening on Aug. 12 given a rising number of COVID-19 cases in key areas, such as California, Texas and Florida, along with the slowed re-opening of the New York City economy. In our view, it would be surprising to see theaters able to re-open nationwide before September, at the earliest." Well fuck me in the face with an aardvark. That's just more bad news for us who were hoping to get back to some sense of normalcy with some escapism. We're going to be alright. It'll just be even more glorious when we finally do get to go to the movies and do it safely. I'm going to pay $7 for a pack of Twizzlers with pride, goddammit. Not to mention, this isn't a for sure thing. This is just an analyst prediction. Fuck that guy, right? I'm kidding. He's just doing his job. I'm sure he's lovely. He also adds that Cinemark and IMAX are both in the best position to survive, saying: "We continue to believe Imax and Cinemark are best positioned to navigate through current business issues given their well funded balance sheets." I needed this W. Cinemark is by far the closest theater to my house. Plus I have Cinemark rewards. I have a LOT of Cinemark rewards.

After three years of ceaseless hype, Black & White has finally been released. If you've been living under a rock somewhere in Outer Mongolia you might not be aware that this is the latest effort from Peter Molyneux, marking his return to the god game genre that he helped to create with the classic Populous. Lost & Found We have all heard about the hilarious giant creatures and the way that you can train their revolutionary AI to aid you in the game, how they will dance to your music and design their own websites, complete with snapshots of their friends, not to mention the ability to receive e-mail, ICQ and SMS messages within the game itself. Unfortunately the first of these features falls far short of expectations, and the rest of them either don't work properly or were cut from the game entirely in a desperate last ditch attempt to actually release the damn thing after months in development limbo. But even without many of the crazy features that Peter Molyneux and friends apparently had planned for us, Black & White still comes across as a lot of neat ideas which don't quite add up to a game. Despite talk of contributions from Hollywood script writers and TV producers, the plot is at best peripheral to the game, leading you through a series of islands to a final showdown with the powerful god Nemesis. Having said that, the first level does manage a good job of introducing you to the game and its rather awkward controls, with your good and evil consciences popping up to give advice and push the story forwards, while a wide variety of quests (some obligatory, some optional) are available to keep you occupied. But after this the developers seem to have run out of steam, and the gameplay becomes repetitive and glacially slow - build up your village, expand your power base, then convince the nearest village to worship you by showering it with gifts or fire and brimstone, depending on whether you are a good god or an evil one. Wash, rinse, repeat. Once you rule every village on the island your rival will vanish and a portal will open to whisk you away to the next level. Dumb & Dumber In an attempt to add some variety to the proceedings, the third island sees your creature being captured by Nemesis, and it is up to you to rescue him. By converting three villages. Once this is done your creature is released, you capture the final village from your enemy, and he vanishes .. opening a portal to the next island. Woah, deja vu. And it's only when your creature is taken away from you that you realise just how hollow and ultimately unrewarding the game is without him. Most of your entertainment comes from watching him do silly things like breakdancing or breaking wind on a hut full of cowering villagers, and most of your time is spent futilely trying to convince him to help you. Your creature is like a young child - it requires constant repetition to teach it anything, and once it learns something new it does it obsessively for several minutes before losing interest and quickly forgetting all about it. Even something as basic as remembering to feed itself seems to be quite beyond its abilities, and all too often you will see your creature collapsing from starvation while still steadfastly refusing to accept any food. Teaching it to use miracles is an uphill struggle; you will have to cast the same spell twenty or more times within sight of a creature before it finally learns it. And although your creature won't forget a miracle, it will forget what it should be doing with it. It took most of the first level to train my creature to use the water miracle on fields to grow fresh crops, but despite constant encouragement it mostly just uses it to put out fires now. It also hasn't worked out how to use the healing spell on itself, instead wandering around casting it on random villagers. Carrot & Stick A simple punishment and reward system is used to discourage or enforce your creature's behaviour. If he does something you like you can tickle and stroke him. If he does something you would rather he didn't do again you can slap him around, often reducing him to tears or knocking him clear off his feet. Sadly the AI seems to have a very limited list of objects and actions that it can recognise. For example, I spent over an hour trying in vain to teach my creature to throw rocks. When I was sure that he had caught on to what I was doing I gave him a rock. He dropped it, picked up a nearby sheep, and hurled the startled looking animal down the hillside, before rolling around on the ground laughing. Not quite what I had in mind. I tried again, and this time it decided to start throwing my villagers around. At this point I gave up and out of sheer frustration spanked the infernal creature until it passed out from the pain. This is probably why the RSPCA won't let me keep pets. If you want to find out what your creature thinks he knows, you can go to his cave. Here you will find scrolls listing his achievements and stats .. except that it doesn't work. My creature seems to be convinced that I am on the side of good, despite the fact that my godly hand has turned into a wrinkled red claw. He believes he is "very, very compassionate", even after his villager flinging exploits. He complains that I don't pay him much attention, even after I spent over an hour doing nothing but teaching him to use miracles. And the list of things which he has learnt how to do only ever includes the same half dozen basic actions which are built into the game as standard, and most of which he never does despite having allegedly mastered them all. This just isn't right... Erase & Rewind Apart from trying to train your wayward creature, the game offers little real challenge. All too often the enemy AI simply sits back and watches as you take control of its outlying villages, only bothering to put up a fight if your creature strays too close to its temple, at which point the AI will always fry your poor animal with lightning bolts until he passes out. Should you have the patience and compassion which I am clearly lacking, and manage to avoid the handful of show-stopping bugs that lie in your path, you may finally reach the fifth level and defeat Nemesis. Unfortunately at this point there is little else to do. You certainly won't want to play through the single player campaign again, because there is no way to skip the lengthy tutorial at the start of the first island, and having a little white-bearded guy floating around your screen explaining how to move and rotate the camera in a condescending voice quickly becomes irritating the second time through. There is a skirmish mode, but this simply drops you and your creature into one of three islands to convert villages and fight enemy gods with no side-quests and no storyline. Multiplayer support is more of the same, but with real human opponents. The problem here is that you can bring your creature from the single player game with you, so whoever has the strongest and best trained avatar is almost certain to win. The alternative is for all of the players to agree to start from scratch with a new god and a new creature, which means that you will spend most of your time trying to teach your dumb animal how to cast miracles, water crops and gather timber all over again... The reality of Black & White sadly falls far short of our (admittedly very high) expectations. The story is largely superfluous, the gameplay boring and repetitive, the creature AI is far less impressive than we were promised, and the game suffers from a number of annoying (and at times fatal) bugs, despite months of beta testing. There are rumours that a beta version was mistakenly released by Electronic Arts, possibly as a result of a disgruntled employee, and despite denials from the publisher the fact that the game installs debug drivers and an empty log file titled memoryleaks.txt is certainly rather odd. But whatever the causes of the bugs and shortcomings, the fact is that there is still no sign of the patch which was supposed to be available "shortly" according to an official post on the Lionhead messageboards dated April 5th. Until that patch arrives it's hard to recommend the game to anyone, and even once it is available Black & White is likely to remain a game that you will either love or hate.	2016-05-31T08:06:59Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051196108.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005316-00111-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.976734	1,722	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2016-22", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:4b23bc8d-b806-4ff9-930b-522c877bd5f1>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_baw" }
Inspired; Corporate Events – Take it outdoors - April 2, 2019 Corporate events have changed. Gone are the days of the hyper-formal, sedentary conference or the slightly-awkward annual award ceremony, we live in the world of the unconference, the internal Ted Talk and the wellness weekend. There’s a constantly growing toolbox at your disposal to create memorable experiences for your attendees. Whatever the purpose of the event and whoever the event is for there are huge benefits to breathing fresh air into your event space and taking your corporate event outdoors. An outdoor event not only opens the door for much more exciting, lively and unique corporate events but allows you to be fairly limitless in your planning and offer a much bigger experience. Here’s a rundown of some ways you can use the great outdoors to improve your next corporate occasion as well as some of our favourite examples of open-air events to get the creative event-planning juices flowing. First things first – choosing a venue One of the main attractions for using an outdoor event space is adding a sense of scale and awe regardless of your event size. Here are some of our favourite examples of events from around the world that create unique experiences in phenomenal settings to kickstart some inspiration. Though spaces like this might be hard to come by in the UK, there are a huge number of beautiful venues to be found. From within the grandeur of historic castles to the natural beauty of Brighton Beach or elegance of Stately Home grounds, there are a huge number of unique and accessible outdoor venues here in the UK. One thing that all of these venues have in common is they create a sense of community for attendees. Regardless of who the guests are, arriving at a corporate event with such a stunning setting instils a sense that they are all part of something unique, something better than an average corporate event. The festival Effect Holding an event outdoors immediately makes for a more freeing atmosphere for your guests. In complete contrast to the ‘penned in’ feel of being formally dressed in a tightly packed conference room, roaming outdoors will immediately set a more engaging precedent. The feel of entering a space that is designed like a festival is not to be underestimated. Taking the same elements for your usual event – a main stage, sound, AV – and placing them outdoors under a tent makes a world of difference for an attendee’s experience. Depending on your budget and the scale of your event you can add music, workshops and incredibly engaging breakout spaces that all add up to an event that won’t be forgotten. At Grace & Tailor, we’ve been a part of delivering some of the biggest and most impressive music festivals in the UK and specialise in bringing the big experience of huge outdoor events to occasions of all kinds. Another upside of hosting an event outdoors is that you aren’t tied down to the usual format restrictions of a conference centre or exhibition centre. Take catering, for example, you can incorporate fun, delicious food that adds to the experience, impresses your attendees and goes to representing your brand ideals. Hands down the most social way to dine is everyone’s favourite summertime meal-delivery system – the BBQ. Compared to a beige buffet, getting stuck into some professionally-grilled meat and/or veggie delights is an absolute winner for a spring or summer event. Equally, take inspiration from the realm of the food festival. Organise multiple food stalls or food trucks to bring a wide variety of cool, incredibly-delicious catering options that get everyone moving around, mingling and bonding over everyone’s shared passion for good food. As many incredible positives as there are for taking your event outdoors, there are obviously a few unmistakable downfalls. Obviously, delivering an outdoor event does mean you are at the mercy of the weather gods. As we all know far too well, even the most incredible summer’s day in Britain can quickly change to be a fairly wet and windy affair. It’s obviously going to improve the experience for attendees if it’s blue a balmy 20°C and pristine blue skies. But should that not be the case there are plenty of ways to prepare against bad weather and ensure your event runs smoothly even if the weather were to turn. The benefit of having an outdoor venue that’s a blank canvas is that it means you can build your vision from the ground up. The downside of this is the cost. When you build staging, rigging, lighting and more into space it’s going to accumulate costs quickly. With our experience delivering massive live events we can help to advise you on how best to approach creating an incredible corporate event experience within your budget. If you’re looking to take your next event to new heights and need help with planning, coming up with creative ideas or simply advice on where to begin – get in touch.	2020-10-25T16:07:05Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107889574.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20201025154704-20201025184704-00096.warc.gz	en	0.937421	1,023	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2020-45", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:76eebdb4-48c8-47ad-96fb-ee7b5da57606>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://graceandtailor.co.uk/inspired-corporate-events-take-it-outdoors/" }
I’ve been eager to write today’s post for quite some time now, so long that it’s become rather ridiculous. As we all know there can often be hidden gems tucked away in the drugstore realm, with some occasionally proving to be a strong rival against expensive high end brands, how else would dupes be in occurrence? Feeling frugal, whilst also underwhelmed with my foundation of choice at that particular time, it made the perfect sense to venture into the heart of our beloved dupe homes in order to partake in some serious shelf searching, seeking to filter out the fabulous from the fails and to discover my ultimate love within the affordable cosmetics world – there’s of course only one central destination in question, to the drugstores! Keeping my options open I also had a peek in a few other budget stores. In order to benefit in some way from my findings, please do continue to read on!	2017-11-18T04:43:29Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804610.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118040756-20171118060756-00321.warc.gz	en	0.947077	191	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-47", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:26c8388e-e58e-4eba-9e23-7da34d1a187a>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://disasterdavis.co.uk/tag/poundland/" }
More and more lately I ask that bake from flax meal. Therefore, this is my recipe, so to speak, on the topic of the day: pumpkin muffins from flax meal. If you ever tried baked with the addition of flax meal, then you know that it is different moist texture, and it also has a feature for a long time does not grow stale (due to moisture absorption properties of flax meal). Peculiar smell flour does not (rather, it is perfect "set off" those flavors that prevail in baking, be it chocolate, berry and spicy notes). Speaking about the benefits of a batch of flax meal, not to mention that it is rich in dietary fiber (up to 30%), polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), vegetable protein (up to 50%), vitamins B1, B2, B6 , folic acid antioxidants (lignans), as well as necessary for the health trace elements (potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc.). Flax Flour first normalizes the gastrointestinal tract. This property is associated with its high content in it of dietary fiber, stimulate peristalsis and mucilage (slime linen), which improve the condition of the intestinal microflora. So afraid of baking flax meal is not necessary - on the contrary, if possible add on 1-2 tablespoons flax meal in familiar dishes (pancakes, casseroles, muffins), it is very, very useful! And pumpkin muffins from flax meal - a convenient option for a snack (and breakfast or snack)! Pumpkin muffins from flax meal: a recipe - wholegrain wheat flour / oat - ¾ cup; - flax flour - a little less than ½ cup; - oat bran - 1 / 3 glass; - eggs - 2 pieces; - mashed pumpkin* - ¾ cup; - milk - 120 ml; - sugar / stevia / syrups - to taste; - Soda - 1 tsp; - baking powder - 1 tsp; - cinnamon - ½ tsp; - Salt - a pinch; - walnuts (optional) - a handful. *You can use 50: 50 applesauce. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk the eggs with the milk, add to them all wet ingredients alternately. Connect the wet and the dry mixture and stir spatula or mixer until uniform. Add the chopped nuts. Spread the dough with a spoon into the cake pan, filled to 2 / 3. Bake about 30 minutes, check the readiness of using wooden skewers. Pumpkin muffins from flax meal must be cool before you remove from the mold. Keep in mind that there will be consistency moderately moist (Because of the flax meal and mashed potatoes). NB! Pumpkin muffins from flax meal: If you do not have a suitable shape for cakes, of course, this dough is perfect for pie: simply pour it into a small form, carpeted it with parchment paper. You may have to increase the baking time. Before serving, be sure to cool down!

Scientists recently uncovered a surprising and disturbing fact: environmental toxins make you fat and cause diabetes. Inside the body, these chemicals monkey with our ability to balance blood sugar and metabolize cholesterol. Over time, the changes can lead to insulin resistance. This discovery should be headline news but no one is talking about it. Why? Because there are no drugs to treat it. In the quest to conquer the two biggest epidemics of our time—diabetes and obesity—we’ve got to turn our attention to the heavy burden environmental toxins put on our bodies. Until conventional medicine catches up, you’ve got to optimize your body’s ability to rid itself of toxins. If your body’s detoxification tools aren’t up to snuff, waste will build up. Overtime, the damage is similar to what happens when trash collectors go on strike and don’t pick up the garbage off the streets. The waste piles high, making the neighborhood smell bad and creating a breeding ground for illness. Don’t let the word detoxification turn you off. You may think it sounds like a New-age idea or something from celebs in Hollywood on the heels of an alcohol or drug binge, but detoxification is a normal, every day function. It’s the body’s way of breaking down and eliminating anything that doesn’t belong. And, these days, there are a lot of things our bodies come into contact with that don’t belong. We live in an environment steeped in chemicals that our bodies were not designed to process. For a disturbing look at the chemicals that breach the boundaries of our bodies, look no further than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals . In the latest report, scientists at the CDC found that nearly every person they tested was packing a host of nasty chemicals, including flame retardants stored in fatty tissue and Bisphenol A , a hormone-like substance found in plastics, excreted in urine. Even babies are contaminated. The average newborn has 287 chemicals in her umbilical cord blood, 217 of which are neurotoxic (poisonous to nerves or nerve cells). Take Out The Trash While it’s true that we live in a toxic world, it’s important to remember that there is a lot you can do to enhance your body’s natural ability to detox. The body has four main exit routes for toxins: pee, poop, perspiration and pranayama (Sanskrit for breath). I call these the quadruple “P.” Every moment of every day your body is relying on the quadruple “P” to mobilize, transform, and excrete toxins. Here is a quick primer on how to make the most of each strategy: The kidneys are responsible for flushing waste from the blood. Make sure you give them what they need by drinking plenty of water. Humans are predominately composed of water (about 66 percent by weight for men, about 60 percent for women). Drink plenty of clean water, at least eight 8-ounce glasses of filtered water a day. One of the first signs of dehydration is the color of your urine. Your urine should be mostly clear (clear enough to read a newspaper through) or with only a slight tinge of yellow. (If you take vitamins, keep in mind that some nutrients, especially riboflavin, causes your urine to turn bright yellow.) But, if your urine is dark yellow or has a strong odor, chances are you aren’t drinking enough. And, of course, you’ll want to make sure you’re not upending your actions by dousing your body with more chemicals. In many communities, tap water is not safe to drink and bottled water isn’t much better. The best option is to filter your own water and carry it with you in stainless steel bottles. If possible, install a reverse osmosis filter in your house, at least for your drinking water or use a carbon filter (like Brita). One or two well formed bowel movements every day is one of the best ways to give toxins a one-way ticket out of your body. If that goal seems high you’re not alone. As many as 20 percent of people struggle with constipation and, unfortunately, the problem can get more onerous with aging. But bowel function is something you have a lot of control over. For starters, up your fiber intake. Fiber cleans out the colon by making our stool heftier and easier to expel. Secondly, drink plenty of water. The body is very good at conserving water. Sometimes it’s almost too good. When the walls of the colon suck too much moisture out of stool, it dries and hardens, which can lead to pebble-like poop and constipation. Drinking more water and other liquids during the day (aim for eight 8-ounce glasses) can make your BMs softer and easier to expel. And, if you still can’t get going, then you need some help and this can include taking two tablespoons of ground flax seeds, taking acidophilus and extra magnesium capsules in the form of magnesium citrate. Your skin is your single largest organ of elimination. Make sure you’re maximizing the detox-potential of your pores by working up a sweat at least three times a week. Of course, heart-thumping exercise that gets the body sweating for 20 minutes, three times a week is ideal, since it confers other health benefits. But, if that is not an option, consider using a sauna, steam or detox bath to trigger the body’s natural ability to detoxify itself through sweat. People have long gravitated toward heat as a means of cleansing the physical and emotional body. In particular, people in Scandinavian countries have used saunas for hundreds of years. Some research indicates that sauna therapy increases excretion of heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, and fat-soluble chemicals—PCBs, PBBs, and HCBs). Taking saunas or steam baths also helps reduce stress and balance the autonomic nervous system. (Sauna temperatures should be no higher than 140 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit for those with environmental illness or a history of increased toxic exposure). On a purely physical note, sauna therapy can improve circulation, help with weight loss, balance blood sugar and improve detoxification. While the exact mechanism is not clear, it is likely due to its effects on calming the nervous system, relaxing the muscles, and increasing vasodilation. If you don’t have access to a sauna, you can use my favorite technique to heat up and sweat, the UltraBath. The lungs are the unsung heroes of the body’s detox squad. With each breath, they bring in fresh oxygen and help transport it throughout the body. Unfortunately, the air we breathe is not always clean. Every day the lungs filter out carcinogens in gas fumes, allergens from pets and plants, and spores of mold. Restricted or shallow breathing can diminish the power of the lungs by preventing oxygen from reaching all of your tissues. Breathing deeply and fully will oxygenate your brain, body, and spirit, transforming your health in the process. One of the best ways to harness the power of the lungs to heal and detoxify is to learn how to belly breathe. Start by putting your hand on your belly. Breathe out, squeezing the air out of your lungs with your stomach muscles. As you breathe in, relax your stomach muscles and, after filling your lungs, try to push your hand off your belly with your breath, filling the lower part of your lungs. Continue to breathe in and out slowly through your nose. Each in and out breath should last to the count of three. Do this for five minutes a day. 5A Powerful Detox Diet If you’re looking for a sensible and effective way to lose weight quickly and detox your body of toxins at the same time, look no further than the Red Tea Detox system.

The Delaware Sustainable Energy Utility (DESEU) helps Delaware residents, businesses and nonprofits reduce their energy consumption and save on utility bills through energy audits, tips, upgrades, rebates, loans and more. But its website, EnergizeDelaware.org, was a navigational nightmare—not only for people searching for ways to save, but also for residential and commercial contractors wanting to participate in Energize Delaware programs. So DESEU asked AB&C to take charge. Simplification was our solution. Cleaner site architecture and fewer pages would make it easier for visitors to quickly find the programs tailored to their needs—and for contractors to find which Energize Delaware programs would match their expertise and bring them business. We also recommended a multichannel rebranding campaign, combining traditional, digital and social media to drive audiences to the all-new website. Print and electronic banners ads, outdoor and transit boards, radio spots, and online testimonial videos launched simultaneously. Though the campaign has just begun, the difference between the old and new website is night and day. Engagements and page visits are up dramatically.

Introduction: In this article, Mary Harrell-Sesniak provides seven practical tips for searching hard-to-find ancestors in old newspapers. Mary is a genealogist, author and editor with a strong technology background. While reading my mother’s Book of Ancestors recently I noticed she had little to say about one of our ancestors, because that person had kept himself out of the public records. Forebears who didn’t hold public office, own property, or were married in churches or synagogues with lost or private records, are difficult to document. These elusive ancestors can also be difficult to find in historical newspapers, but sometimes they can be found in creative ways. This article gives seven search tips to help find those tricky ancestors in old newspapers. 1) Pay Attention to “Please Copy” Notices When something noteworthy occurs such as a birth or death, news is first printed locally. If that person has ties to other areas, then other newspapers may carry the story. Newspapers may do this either on their own accord, or at the request of the original publisher. What you want to watch out for is a “please copy” notice, which can be a valuable clue that your ancestor had ties to another part of the country where you might find additional articles or records about him or her. In the newspaper article below from New Orleans, Louisiana, we see many examples of “please copy” notices. - Jesse Sands, formerly of Pittsburg, and his wife Jessie M. Olmsted, passed away within two days of each other. The end of their death notice says: “Newburg, N.Y. and Pittsburg, Pa. papers please copy.” So for these two ancestors, you want to include New Orleans, Newburg and Pittsburgh in your searches. - J. West Murphy died in Louisiana, but was described as “late of Philadelphia.” The end of his death notice says: “Philadelphia papers please copy.” - The end of Virginia B. Harrison’s death notice says: “Philadelphia and Cincinnati papers please copy.” - The end of John Gunderman’s death notice says: “St. Louis papers please copy.” Because these death notices were originally published in a New Orleans newspaper, you want to search that area for more news about your ancestor. But thanks to these “please copy” notices, you are given additional locations for further searching. 2) Know Your Resource: Understanding the Differences between Small Town & Metropolitan Newspapers Depending upon the population of a town or city, news will vary. Reasons include: - Unless a person was well known, there may be inadequate space to present long articles in newspapers from areas of high population. - In smaller towns this is not the same issue, so there is a tendency toward longer descriptions of events such as weddings and arrests. - In smaller towns, you may also see more “gossipy” news. - If a lengthy feature was carried in a hometown paper, another may feel it only deserves minimal coverage, or the opposite may be true. Minimal coverage in one newspaper may result in extended details in another. - Some publishers may wish to sensationalize or downplay news. Once while researching a hometown newspaper, I found that a neighboring town paper was happy to publish the lurid details of a person’s arrest. It was not published in his hometown newspaper, perhaps to protect the family. 3) Name Variations People are usually known by a variety of monikers, both formal and informal. Keep in mind that this is the rule, rather than the exception, so don’t ever limit searches to just one version of a name. Include titles, nicknames, initials, middle names without first names, and other variations. For example: - John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith - J. J. Smith or J. J. J. Smith - Jacob or Jingleheimer Smith - Mr. Smith or simply Smith - Thomas Edison or Mr. Edison - The Wizard of Menlo Park - Mary Stillwell - Dot Stillwell (her childhood nickname) - Thomas Edison’s first wife - Mrs. Edison - Mina Edison or Mina Miller - Thomas Edison’s second wife 4) Spelling Variations and Name Changes – Consider Using a Wildcard One of the most vexing issues occurs with spelling variations, which occur all too often. An example can be noted with my husband’s birth surname of Szczesniak. Since others were prone to misspelling it, the family had it legally shortened to Sesniak. Unfortunately, that didn’t work as typos are frequent. One of the most common is to change the ending to “ck,” rather than “ak.” Name changes can be informal. A woman I know was named Jane. It’s a fine name, but prone to various putdowns, including “plain Jane.” Rather than be labeled with this throughout her life, she elected to change the spelling to Jayne. We see similar variations in the given name of Mary. I use the traditional spelling, but there are many variations including: - Mamie, Maria, Mariah, Marie, May, Meg, Merry, Merrie, Moll, Mollie, Molly, Pollie, Polly, etc. If you wish to search newspapers and databases for similar spellings, sometimes a wildcard will work. There are two types: an asterisk “” which searches for any number of characters in a name; or a question mark “?” which replaces just one letter. For example: - Merr would query the database for any name beginning with Merr, such as Merry or Merrie, followed by any combination of letters. If a woman were named Merriweather, it would also find it. - Sebasti?n would return both Sebastian or Sebastien. Also see prior articles on ancestor name research tips for tips on searching for first names, surnames, name spelling variations and more. 5) Overcoming Language Barriers in Foreign-Language Newspapers Many online collections of newspapers, such as GenealogyBank’s Historical Newspaper Archives, contain foreign-language newspapers. GenealogyBank, for example, has some newspapers in French, German, Italian and Spanish. What do you do if you find your ancestor’s name in a foreign-language newspaper, but are not sure what the article is saying about him or her? There are a number of free online translators available, where you can type in the text from the foreign-language newspaper and receive an English translation. For example, what if you found this article about your ancestor Georg Clifforeye? Heiratete seine Grossmutter. CALAIS, Me., 28 Oktober. Der 18 Jahre alte Georg Clifforeye heiratete seine Grossmutter Rebecca Louise Garnett von St. Stephen N.B., Canada, und begab sich dann mit ihr nach seiner Wohnung, aber kaum war er dort angelangt, erschien Rev. Gaucher, der has liebende Paar getraut hatte und verlangte den Trauschein, wobei er ihm die $10 Traugebühren retournierte und die Heirat für illegal erklärte, wegen der… 6) Social Notices Provide Many Clues Many newspapers carried social notices, such as the below example from the Dallas Morning News, reporting the comings and goings of many friends and relatives. These social columns in newspapers provide wonderful research clues to track your ancestor’s activities as well as personal relationships. 7) Broaden Your Searches Lastly, if you are in the habit of narrowing ancestor searches with specific dates, get in the habit of broadening the ranges. Marriage details can extend for months, if not years. Look for engagement notices, bridal showers, banns notices, wedding descriptions, honeymoon reports and even “the happy couple has returned” articles. Death reporting can also extend over long time periods. Right after passing, you’ll find death notices and obituaries, but some may be published long afterward. I’ve seen an obituary as long as one year after someone died. Also watch for legal notices pertaining to probate, which can occur many years after your ancestor died. Don’t forget to think outside the box. Some reports are made in error. Even with their mistakes, they can contain valuable personal information. One of my favorite examples was addressed in my article The Lessons of Daniel Boone’s Obituary: Check and Double Check. I hope these seven search tips will help you break through some brick walls and find those elusive ancestors who didn’t leave many records behind – but may well be found in the pages of old newspapers.

ROCKING PATCH PINK CADILLAC d.o.b. August 1, 2005 "P. C.", as we call him, has been a great pleasure to our farm, becoming our herd sire. His comformation and his attitude is that of a proven champion. Ever since his birth, he has shown the qualities that one would look for to enhance their breeding program. His pedigree includes Red Lightning, Little Motown, and LCR Valantino 50. He is a very well balanced jack. He has a beautiful top line and an equally nice neck. His strong hindquarters and well sloped shoulder makes him a natural athlete which shows in the ring. Not only does he jump, drive, and do trail, he has been an exceptional halter animal winning all but one halter class in his years of showing. We stopped showing him in 2010, and at that time he was rated as the number 1 jack in Canada. Some of his accomplishments are: 2006 Reserve Champion Jack, MDE, Red Deer, Ab. 2007 Champion Jack, MDE II,Red Deer, Ab. 2007 Reserve Champion Supreme Jack, MDE II, Red Deer, Ab. 2007 Best of Breed, Big Little Donkey Show, Abbotsford, BC 2009 Champion Jack, Oregon Donkey & Mule Show, Eugene, Or. 2009 Reserve Champion Jack, NCMDS, Red Bluff, Ca, 2009 Reserve Champion Green Performance Donkey, NCMDS 2010 Champion Jack, MDE II, Red Deer, Ab. 2010 Best of Breed, MDE II, Red Deer, Ab. We were unable to compete at any shows during 2008, but with his other performances we felt that he would have done very well for us. P C spent 5 months during 2010 down at Crown Meadow Miniature Donkeys, Scio, Oregon being a stud for some of their jennets, as well as being available to other U.S. breeders. \|RED LIGHTENING C-CDJA-800-\| \|CIRCLE C BLACK RUSSIAN Y-CDJA-1561-\| \|EBONY OF CIRCLE C C-CDJE-1330-\| \|SUN CREEK'S COPPER STORM Y-CDJA-2877-\| \|MR.

56th match: Pune Warriors v Kolkata Knight Riders at Pune - May 9, 2013 Kolkata Knight Riders 152/6 (20/20 ov); Pune Warriors 106 (19.3/20 ov) Kolkata Knight Riders won by 46 runs PW have been playing their matches for the purpose of losing. It has been too obvious. This match was no exception. The starting odds were about 1.8 in f/o KKR. These came down fast to 1.35 just after 5 overs with KKR at 44/0. That was abnormal and the odds rising to only 1.52 after fall of two quick wickets and score at 52/2 in 7 overs was also abnormal. Normally the odds should have come back to the starting odds i.e. above 1.7 at least. For the wise, this should have been an indication about the outcome of the match, a comfortable win for KKR. The manipulation in session scoring during KKR innings took place as usual. With sudden deceleration in scoring after the 5th over, the score at the end of the first session (0-10 overs) was such as to be less than the minimum score on offer at any point. The opposite happened for the next 10-20 overs session as a result of 53 runs (15 in the last over) scored in the last 4 overs. Inexplicably Marsh bowled only 2 overs for 7/2 in the innings, while the other bowlers went for runs in the end. Some more interesting observations. In the 11th over of PW innings, Uthapa played a shot up in the air, but the ball fell between two fielders. The batsmen took only a single while there was a comfortable two. The next ball Uthapa faced, after a single to Mathews, he gave a simple catch straight to backward point. I am sure a senior in-form batsman could not have played so if playing natural cricket. That was virtually the end of the chase for PW who eventually folded for pathetic 106 runs, never having looked back after having lost first wicket in the 3rd over. It was also worth watching how Mathews fetches the ball from outside the off stump to give a catch straight in the hands of the lone deep long-on fielder.	2017-11-17T19:35:12Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803906.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117185611-20171117205611-00554.warc.gz	en	0.978705	482	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-47", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:a9fd5bd2-858e-4dec-a9e8-588164b0effa>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://atulonly.blogspot.com/2013/05/playing-to-lose-again.html" }

Nothing, not a thing is as it seems. When they are, well that would be then the secrets. When we become lucidly aware of our surroundings and a higher level of consciousness is reached you will no longer be preyed upon. Things will become crystal clear when the mind becomes unlocked, when the senses become alive and vibrant, as they were meant. When all of the toxicity and nonsense of this world that is delivered to us with ignorance and or nefarious intentions, when they are repudiated, this is when one realizes that the only thing of any real importance is love. We are all superfluous to the perceived power. That is why it is left up to us to lead by example and remain focused on helping one another. Make an impact, and May we start with the defenseless.

So recently I got accepted into Kings College London to study Human Biology (the actual degree name is hella long) this September and let me tell you, this has to be the biggest blessing to ever happen to me because I’m am definitely not the smartest student. I’m not saying this to be modest, I’m saying this because I experienced three years of failing my A-levels. Now you’re probably thinking – “if you failed your A-levels … how did you get into Kings?” So long story short. I went to the University of Greenwich and completed a foundation year and transferred on to the first year of Anatomy, Developmental and Human Biology BSc. There were many factors why or how I failed my A-levels, but if I were to sum it up into three bullet points it would be: - lack of organisation - lack of preparation - lack of motivation It took me 2 years to recognise my faults. I could blame teachers, I could blame the education system, I could blame my anyone and everyone but at the end of the day, I could only blame myself due to to the three reasons above. Now, this isn’t going to be some blog post about how to magically pass your exams or how to best the student of your class. This is a blog post about how to be the best version of your self as a student whether you’re at university or currently doing A-levels. 1. Do not underestimate your work load. I cannot stress this enough. Do not leave things last minute. Start your assignments the day you get them, this doesn’t have to include physically writing it out, this could be reading over the actual question and creating a small plan on what to write about. 2. Have a balance. If you work hard, create time to cool off. If you have studied all week (this excludes lecture times), have a day to yourself where you hang out with friends and just relax and not think about all the work you have to do. Your brain is a muscle, it needs days off too. Don’t over work yourself. Revising for a solid 1 hour is better than 3 hours of half ass revision. It’s more effective and time efficient. After a solid hour of revision or work, take a 15-minute break and then start again. Keep your phone on night mode so you won’t be distracted by texts. I use this app called “Forest” which is basically a timer on my phone and the longer I study, the bigger the tree grows. It’s really cute and is a great way to stay off your phone because if you click on any social media app, the tree dies and you have to start again. 3. Diet, Exercise and Sleep. Feed your brain the right foods! Great foods for the brain are blueberries, salmon, nuts and avocados. Exercising helps your body produce endorphins, endorphins make you happy. A happy you is a less stressed you. Red Bull is great. Coffee is amazing. But sleep is the best, sleep helps to consolidate the information you have learnt. 4. Daily To do lists To do lists saved my life! Visually seeing what you have to complete keeps you motivated and more focused and also helps to you to stay on top of your deadlines. 5. Turn up to your lessons/lectures. I’m an absolute hypocrite when I say this but I’m not perfect! “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail” It’s okay to fail, but don’t put yourself down, don’t give up or sulk. Brush it off, look at yourself and create a change within yourself. Keep trying until you get it right. Hope this was helpful!

2007 Honda Element SC Concept Photo Gallery: 2006 New York Auto Show On sale this fall. An urban-oriented counterpart to the Honda Element will debut this fall boasting an exclusive sport suspension, larger wheels and tires, unique styling, and special features, as demonstrated by the Element SC Concept Honda displayed at the 2006 New York International Auto Show. "The Element SC prototype is the city-dwelling, style-conscious brother of the original Element," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda. Its performance-oriented attitude is supported by such SC-exclusive features as projector beam headlights, custom front bumper, lowered suspension, large alloy wheels, custom grille, and a lowered roofline trim effect. The interior takes on an entirely new personality thanks to a center console with enclosed storage areas ideal for mobile phones and MP3 players, as well as trim accents that correspond to the copper-colored dash illumination. The 2007 Element SC prototype is driven by a 2.4-liter, DOHC, i-VTEC engine that benefits from a 10 horsepower increase over the 2006 Element, bringing the total to 166 horsepower (SAE net revised 8/04). A five-speed manual transmission is standard, with an available five-speed automatic transmission (instead of the four-speed previously offered). The 2007 Honda Element will introduce a seat belt system integrated into the front seats that allows rear seat occupants to exit the vehicle without requiring front occupants to disconnect their seatbelts. The Element SC prototype features custom 21-inch cast-aluminum alloy wheels, 245/35R21 high-performance custom tires, and four-wheel disc brakes with large brake rotors and custom copper-appearance brake calipers. A production vehicle based on the Element SC prototype will go on sale this fall.

Using the Critical List: Reflections If you've been to the course listserv page, you know what a listserv is, how to join your section's listserv, why we have a class listserv, and what to do if you run into problems using the listserv. This page is meant to let you know what the reflective essays are for and how to do them. My goal is to make this page as useful to you as possible, so let me know if it can be improved. If anything is badly worded, unclear, or missing, please contact me with constructive criticisms. Thanks. What They Are Roughly every third week, no later than 10 pm Friday, you must post to your section's listserv a 500-1000-word reflective essay in which you thoughtfully respond to and reflect on key issues raised by our readings, discussion questions, in-class discussions, and/or team pedagogical project from that week by either (1) discussing how you would use that week's interpretive strategies to interpret a literary work or cultural text of your choice and what that application reveals about the strengths and weaknesses of that interpretive mode; (2) identifying a debate or dispute among proponents of that week's interpretive mode or between them and proponents of a different interpretive mode and explaining/justifying your position on it; (3) choosing a discussion question or questions from that week's listserv postings to respond to by offering your take on relevant readings and class discussions. No more than one reflective essay per week will count toward your total for the semester. The reflective essays are your opportunity to thoughtfully respond to key issues raised by our readings, discussion questions, in-class discussions, and/or team pedagogical projects. I recommend using them primarily as a means to help you clarify your own thinking on issues that are puzzling, frustrating, confusing, or interesting you. Writing is not just a tool for communicating already-formed ideas; it is also a process by which you discover or invent or otherwise generate those ideas. By putting your thoughts into words, you figure out what you really believe--or at least test out provisional hypotheses. Hence, one key function of the reflective essays is to give you a chance to go beyond what's already been discussed in class by me or your peers--to go more in-depth, to be more specific and organized, and to develop your ideas and analyses further than is typically possible when speaking off the cuff. The reflective essays, that is, give you an opportunity to look back on what we did that week and generate some (at least tentative) coherence out of what was likely to be a great deal of complex and difficult materials--to find, for yourself, some lens through which the key concepts and methodologies of the week come into clearer focus, some thread that runs throughout the labyrinth of our readings and discussions for the week, or some bridge from what we did that week to what we did in previous weeks or what you're doing in another course. The reflective essays also give you a chance to practice writing for a specific audience: your peers in this class. By submitting them to the course listserv, you are adding a more public dimension to your "thinking through" a particular issue than would take place in a reading journal or assignment turned in to your instructor only. So frame your reflections in a way that will be interesting, enlightening, provocative, even entertaining for your classmates. Given that we're all (supposed to be) reading each other's reflective essays this semester, it's in your best interest to make that reading experience as fun as it can possibly be for others without sacrificing substance. If everyone does this, the listserv component of the class will be a positive supplement to our class discussions and food for more formal assignments, rather than a chore or drudgery. It's up to you to keep your audience in mind as you write your reflections! Hence, the reflective essays are addressed to the two main goals of the course. By doing them regularly, you should develop (1) an awareness of your own acts of interpretation in reading and (2) an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to interpretation and criticism. The reflective essays are finally an assessment tool. Your grade on them will be determined by the number of on-time essays you post to the course listserv. Since there are fourteen weeks when reflective essays are due in the semester, and since you are allowed nine missed weeks without penalty, 5 or more essays=A; 4=B; 3=C; 2=D; 1 or 0=E. Essays will be graded on a +/0/-/F basis (F essays will not be counted toward your total for the semester); the quality of your reflective essays will be factored into your preparation/participation grade (see above). Here are some potentially useful strategies for generating reflective essays. I'll be adding to this list based on what people actually do with their essays on the listserv. If you find it difficult to come up with reflective essays, it's probably a sign that you're not reading carefully enough or giving yourself enough processing/brainstorming time. Adjust your work schedule accordingly. If you don't, you'll find it very difficult to complete the pedagogical project or final project as successfully as you'd like. Or to put the point more positively: the more work you put right now into reflecting on what we've been reading and talking about, the better off you'll be when it comes time to prepare your pedagogy projects and write your final project.

Every year, we go to a rummage sale at a nearby church. I make a beeline for the jewelry tables but the last few years, I’ve been a little disappointed. Today, I snagged a few interesting chains but that was it… I’m hoping next weekend (it’s a two weekend annual event), they have more to offer. So, I poked around other areas and I’m happy to report I added to my collection of colorful shoes: These are sandals with bright primary colors. Don’t hate me if you’re in cold places, but I could have worn these today! It was in the high 70’s here in SoCal. With so many colors, I’ll be able to wear them with practically anything! But these are my real crazy finds: Not surprisingly, these goofy little gems were in the Valentine’s section! Normally, I wouldn’t buy a pointy toe, but they’re so dang cute and only $2! Truth be told, I’ll probably only wear them when there won’t be a lot of walking involved--they’re a little tight. But I might be able to manage them at work if I don’t have to walk to the copier a lot LOL!! Even the insides are heart-a-licious! I also snagged a bunch of great tops, including a couple for my favorite folks (don’t want to spoil surprises) and a Bob’s Big Boy t-shirt with a woody station wagon on the back for The Husband. Tune in next weekend to see if I get any good pickin’s! PS--If you haven’t already, sign up for my newsletter! On Valentine’s Day, I’m having a drawing for a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate from among all my newsletter subscribers.

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to present Saint Clair Cemin: Myth and Math, on view at 293 Tenth Avenue from October 30 to December 23, 2014. This is the artist’s third exhibition with Paul Kasmin Gallery, following SIX and Saint Clair Cemin On Broadway, both in 2012. The exhibition marks a further development in Cemin's pluralistic expanse of work that is both visceral and formal. With his new series, the artist continues to push the boundaries of shape and line, manipulating perspective, and uniting disparate materials and themes within individual sculptures. The seemingly ordered chaos and harnessed movement are indicative of Cemin’s constellation of paradoxical objects. As Cemin states, “I made my work a meeting place for all opposites.” Simultaneously, an exploration of the rigor of geometry is also entrenched in Cemin’s sculpture. For him, the changeless purity of platonic forms provides a structure through which to illustrate the subconscious, itself disorderly and irrational. Cemin’s personal mythology, articulated through a diverse array of media, shapes, and scales, simultaneously pays homage to structure and embraces the inherent complexity of forms, which change and mutate ceaselessly. “William Blake said that “Eternity is in love with the Productions of Time,” but, I believe that the Productions of Time are also in love with Eternity, and the result is Myth,” explains Cemin. “Myth and Math is a continuation of this thought that has been the guiding line of my work. Forms come out of Chaos. They represent order but they bring Chaos within themselves, then to it they return.” Sculptures such as Athina and Cherub refer directly to mythological figures, products of a different time that have been made eternal through storytelling and art. Love and Mathematics explicitly combines the emotional and the rational, two seemingly contrasting concepts which Cemin is able to jointly explore with his chosen artistic medium. A de Amor takes the letter “A” and twists it beyond recognition, simultaneously destroying its meaning and creating a new interpretation for an old symbol. Saint Clair Cemin was born and raised in the rural town of Cruz Alta, Brazil, and went on to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States as well as abroad and is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, Paris, France; Fisher Landau Center For Art, Long Island City, NY; Rooseum, Stockholm, Sweden; The Broad Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; and Inhotim, Minas Gerais, Brazil, among many others. Cemin currently lives in New York and has studios in Beijing and Red Hook, New York. The exhibition will coincide with Robert Motherwell: Works on Paper 1951 - 1991 at Paul Kasmin Gallery, 515 West 27th Street, and Sigmar Polke: Early Drawings and Photographs at 297 Tenth Ave. For further information on Saint Clair Cemin, please contact [email protected]	2019-06-25T00:18:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999779.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624231501-20190625013501-00258.warc.gz	en	0.947162	675	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2019-26", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:479cd06b-1444-4da6-a9a7-aedc795b0887>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://paulkasmin.vaesite.net/exhibitions/2014-10-30_saint-clair-cemin" }

So what's the damage this year? To you pocket book, that is! How much have you spent on curriculum? It always makes me cringe when I hit that "confirm order" button, knowing that I will spend more second semester (inevitably she will fly through her math and science so I will need to buy more). ETA: Color me sleep. I just realized I asked you guys to fess up but didn't include the info myself. Lol. Thus far I've spent about $600 for my rising 6th grader and rising preschooler; we will usually spend another few hundred at the beginning of second semester to replace curricula that has been finished. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one :) I am a Home Schooling, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Academic pushing Mother. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities and nosey, involved parents. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it raising my child. I believe that my place, as a woman, is in the home caring for my husband and children. My husband is head of our home.

Temporary employment recruitment agency A temporary employment recruitment agency hires candidates to work at companies for set, short-term periods of time. Companies may need temporary staff for seasonal work or if they find themselves short-staffed. Often these roles need to be filled quickly, which is where a temporary employment recruitment agency comes in. Clients hiring employees through these agencies often pay them hourly, sometimes at a better rate than permanent staff. The temp agency will usually pay the wages and any other benefits according to an employer’s guidelines. The concept of a temporary employment recruitment agency is great - it allows individuals to quickly and easily find work without having to commit themselves long-term, or even at all. It's also useful for companies who need employees for shorter-term commitments, as it allows them to source suitable candidates without needing to go through complicated hiring processes. These types of services can help those looking for jobs in fields from retail to hospitality, and the casual nature makes them an appealing option; they're flexible enough to adjust around life's other commitments, while still providing an income.	2023-10-04T12:14:14Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511369.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004120203-20231004150203-00272.warc.gz	en	0.958396	219	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2023-40", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:219b233e-5b79-4dac-9b2c-743d449fd606>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://crgpak.com/details/460/Temporary-employment-recruitment-agency" }
Typical, Mari thinks as she watches the two men sent to chase after her run out onto the street. People never look up. But as clever as it was to stay put rather than try to outrun men whose stride is twice hers, Mari can’t stay here. The top floor of the building is missing and the air has that faint gasoline smell it gets right before it rains. The scent of fear, death and warning. She’ll be damned if she’s going to get slugged, burned by the rains, on top of everything else. Her mother’s wail has turned into snarls and snaps. Mari watches as she’s pulled from their building shocked at her fierce resistance. The men are popping beads of sweat while trying to wrangle her over the broken asphalt. “Fucking wildcat,” one growls. “Yea, and you know what we do with those,” leers the other. She watches them drag her to a set of white tents set up on the perimeter of the Safeway parking lot that is the de facto town square. Should she run? Should she try to free her mother? Maybe she should just go back home for the storm. She can’t run to anyone that they know and there aren’t many covered places within range that she can get to before the skies open up. Squirming with indecision and the need to pee she almost misses it when the raven haired boy who Sonjia was flirting with earlier exits their building. Now where did he come from? Mari wonders. He steps just past the doorway and scans the street. Then he reaches back into the building, picks up Sonjia’s body and starts making his way quickly but carefully down the road, away from the Safeway parking lot and her mother. Mari races down the stairs deciding to go after the family that she knows is still alive, her mother, when through a trick of acoustics she hears the raven haired boy repeating, “Hang on. It’s not that much further. Hang on. We’ll get you the elixir and then you will be right. Hang on.” Mari’s feet change direction at the word elixir and though she speeds after the raven haired boy she keeps herself hidden for she has learned that if it looks too good to be true, it is and she isn’t going to let that boy do Sonjia any more harm. She’s suffered enough and even though Mari would never have thought it, it seems that her mother can take care of herself, at least for the time being. Elixir indeed, she thinks with a muffled snort, riiiight. Inspired by the lovely smashup of the world elixir and the power of smell from Write at the Merge.	2017-10-17T16:59:01Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822145.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017163022-20171017183022-00888.warc.gz	en	0.974216	604	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-43", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:ff448374-6e9c-4fd8-8ebb-826b2cf5fdd9>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://whispatory.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/safeway/" }
Do you remember the giant Pom Pom Wreath I made last autumn? I actually was packing it up last week and it made me want to make another pom pom project. I raided my stash of yarn and found some red and white yarn that were just screaming to be made into a Valentine’s Day project-I decided on this pretty little mini pom pom garland. It was so easy to make and could be adapted for any occasion or decor by changing up the colors-I love the whimsy of it! - yarn in your choice of colors - large fork - crochet needle Start by winding your yarn around the tines of a fork-I used a large serving fork for these mini pom poms and found that winding 25-30 times gave me nice dense and fluffy pom poms. Cut a 3-4″ piece of yarn of the same color and thread it through the middle of the fork tines and tie a knot around the center of your wound yarn. Carefully slide the yarn off of the fork and use scissors to snip the loops on either end of the tie. Trim any longer pieces to shape the pom pom. When you have all of your pom poms made thread them into a garland using yarn and a crochet needle through the center of the pom pom. This looks so cute up on my work-in-progress Valentine’s Mantel and it is really motivating me to make a fun multicolored garland to decorate our homeschool classroom. What do you think? Anybody else like a good pom pom as much as I do?

The number one platform for your hybrid event Choose for the best of both worlds! Combine the advantages of a digital and real-life event by creating a hybrid event experience for your attendees. Increase your attendance rate with a hybrid event Regardless what event you are organising, there will always be 2 different kinds of attendees. On the one hand, you have the ones that rather join in-person events. On the other hand, you have the people that rather participate from home. Next to that, a hybrid event will also remove any geographical limitations. Taking all this into account, you’re hybrid event experience will result into a higher reach and attendance. More engagement with your attendees Instead of treating your hybrid event attendees as two separate audiences, Thola enables you to bring them all together by using the latest technologies. Think about chat or videocall options, break-out rooms or even live Q&A or polling. Imagine a live session that is being streamed into our platform where the questions from the digital attendees will appear on the presenter’s screen and will be answered live. Besides that users will also be able to schedule meetings with each other. This low threshold way of networking will increase the connection between your attendees. Even after the hybrid event has ended you can allow your users to log in again to reconnect with others or to review the shared content. Mobile hybrid event experience To ensure an even better experience for your users, we’ve created a mobile version that attendees can use to join your hybrid event from their phone. This allows your attendees to physically walk around at the hybrid event, but at the same time engage with the users that have joined the event online. We’ve also included a live location feature in the attendee list that displays in which room the attendee is located remotely or on-site. To enable this on-site we will work with a QR-code that can be scanned in each room. Recreate your real-life event rooms As shown on the image above, we’ve kept the same configuration for both the desktop and mobile version so that users will have a similar event experience. It’s even possible to create a room background for your digital version based on the real-life event room. By recreating a room or a building, the digital visitors will have the sensation of being present at the real-life event. You can ask your own designer to create this design or you can reach out to our Thola team so we will create it for you.	2022-08-08T01:08:14Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00694.warc.gz	en	0.934313	525	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2022-33", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:4d7b7806-9e86-40b5-bd03-7ff36a892eaf>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://www.thola.events/hybrid-events/" }
On the 15th of November, Women in Mining launched the 2018 Edition of Top 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining. The publication aims to showcase the range of female talent within the global mining industry and to identify inspirational role models to encourage future generations of women to consider mining as a career choice. This year a record 642 nominations were received from both women and men from around the world and across the different facets that make up the mining industry, highlighting the very real contribution women are making on a daily basis. The 100 women featured in the 2018 Edition were selected by a panel of judges for the way they have persevered in the face of adversity, found solutions to challenges, and empowered others by being a voice and role model for diversity and inclusion. Appointed to the international committee at Women in Mining, Global Mining Recruitment Specialist at Search Consultancy, Jenniffer Otero Fraga continues to connect with female role models to gain a better understanding of how to best support women in mining across the international landscape. She said: “As we recognise the contribution of women in mining by celebrating the incredible journey of 100 inspirational women, I am delighted to continue my role in supporting women across the international mining scene.” “While I have been privileged to connect with some of the industry’s greatest female leaders, there’s no denying that we still see a lack of equal representation across the sector. Mining is no different than any other male dominated industry, where attracting and retaining women in non-traditional roles and developing women to senior leadership roles is a difficult challenge.” “The more women we have changing the dynamic at the top of the industry, the quicker we will reap the rewards that diversity can deliver. In my role as a recruiter on behalf of the industry, I’m committed to supporting female talent in the sector, as well as businesses looking to grow their workforce in a talent-short industry,” she concluded.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 DiWine - Chic Wine Bar With Flava DiWine - 41-15 31st Avenue, Astoria NY 11103 R/V/G Train to Steinway Street Meg, Martha (new Joey in Astoria colleague) and I went to check out DiWine wine bar last night. I didn't have many expectations except that I looked at their site beforehand and loved what I saw. It seemed to be a chic, trendy place and a nice venue to meet for after-work drinks. All these things it was, and despite being a bit out of the way for me, I think I'll visit again soon. Trendy, chic and comfortable are all accurate ways to describe DiWine. Although the space isn't huge, it's laid out so creatively that it gives the illusion of something bigger. There's a small outdoor seating area but the inside--at least for me--was more intriguing. The natural wood and exposed-brick decor makes DiWine feel earthy and rustic. Its best feature is the semi-private booth area that's sectioned off by sheer netting. The seats are comfy and cushiony and you can't help but recline and let your hair down. Besides a nice casual date place, I'd also recommend DiWine for a small group of friends. Food and Wine: The menu offered a lot of interesting-sounding small plates. We decided on the sharing route and ordered two tapas and a pizza. While the former was underwhelming the latter sure made up for it. Spinach-Artichoke Dip - Recommended by our server, this was an easy sell, however, what came out wasn't anything to brag about. The bread was stale and the actual dip was just OK, nothing special. I'm wondering if it was homemade...? We voiced our disappointment about the bread and were brought something better, which was a nice way to approach the problem. Mushroom Torchon - I love a good Portobello but was yet again disappointed with this one, which was filled with roasted red peppers and topped with herbed goat cheese. It sounded great on paper but when we tasted it, it lacked seasoning and was a bit watery. I was underwhelmed because what I envisioned was something aromatic and flavorful and this was anything but. The Gigi Pizza - This is where things turned around. From first sight and smell, we were impressed, as the pizza looked fantastic--packed with interesting ingredients such as smoked beef, capers, mushrooms and fresh buffalo mozzarella. Once we tasted it, it was simply "divine," the flavors melding together to form a hearty, smoky bite. The crust was super light and crunchy but needed more salt. Overall though, it was a delicious pie that I'd happily order again. Wine - A nice selection of domestic and international whites and reds (and even organic options), made my decision challenging. I chose a classic Italian Pinot Grigio and was very satisfied by its crisp, fruity undertone. Martha went for another white, which I can't recall by name but it was also nice, with a slightly more acidy touch. Service and Cost: I have absolutely no complaints in this department. Our server was considerate and knowledgeable, providing recommendations where he could. He made sure to check on us, ensuring that we were happy and as noted, accommodated us when we were not. Costs are reasonable with tapas ranging between $6-$14, all pizzas are $10, cheese platters run between $10-$15 and the wine is also wallet-friendly with most glasses at $8. Two tapas, a pizza and three drinks set us back about $21 per person with tax and tip.	2017-11-21T04:31:48Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806316.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121040104-20171121060104-00192.warc.gz	en	0.982844	788	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-47", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:f2f737ac-2471-4776-8c1e-e00f8be158f7>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.fooditka.com/2009/07/diwine-chic-wine-bar-with-flava.html" }
iHeartDogs is reader-supported. When you buy via links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Most dogs get excited when you take them out for a walk or car ride. They follow you around like they always do… until you reach for the collar and/or leash. Like a bullet, your dog is gone. Then, you spend several minutes trying to track them down. Calling them, bribing them, whatever it takes to get them to come out from their hiding spot. If you’ve dealt with similar behaviors, you might be wondering why you’re the only person on Earth who has a dog that acts like that. But you’re not alone! This is more common than you think and it happens for a variety of reasons. Need help training out those less-than-lovable behaviors? SpiritDog can help. Their programs can help you achieve long-lasting results using positive, scientifically-proven methods. See their website to learn how they can help your dog become the better-behaved canine of your dreams. Why Your Dog Runs From the Leash There are many reasons why your dog may be running from you when you try to get them ready to leave. It will take some detective work on your part to find out what exactly is going on. From there, you can work on fixing it. Below are some common reasons a dog may not want to have their collar or leash put on. First and foremost, make sure your dog doesn’t have any medical issues that might make wearing a collar or harness uncomfortable. For example, maybe their arthritis has gotten worse than you thought, making walks too hard for them. A trip to the vet is always a good place to start to rule out any health concerns. Fear of New Places Does your dog have fear or anxiety issues outside your home? If you have noticed your dog is fearful in the car, at the park, or around strangers, they may be running from the leash to avoid an activity they dislike. If this is the case, don’t force your dog into those situations. Instead, gradually introduce them to the place while giving them treats so they can associate the destination with something good. Fear of Vets or Groomers Does your puppy only go out on a leash to the vet or groomer? Many dogs remember things and put two and two together more than you realize. If you’ve only used that leash when you go somewhere traumatizing to your puppy, they may have learned to fear it. So, show them the leash can be good by regularly walking them at places they enjoy. If you have a dog that isn’t big on being hugged or handled, they may not enjoy the process of getting their collar, harness, or leash put on either. These dogs just need to learn to be okay with their “clothes” because wearing them means they get to go out and have fun. Chances are, if you opened the door without reaching for that leash, your dog would run right out. They want to be outside, but they don’t like the equipment. A Bad Experience Did your furry friend have a bad experience on a leash? Maybe they were attacked by another dog, pulled too hard, or even got stuck wrapped around something. For some dogs, one experience is enough to make them scared. This is another instance where you’ll need to get them to associate their leash with good things like treats. A Great Game When it comes to the leash, some pups have discovered a fun game! Some dogs know that if they run from you and the leash, you will chase them. It’s a great game! However, if your dog enjoys this “game,” you’ll need to work on some training to stop it. This is not an exhaustive list. Your dog may have another reason altogether for fearing their collar, leash, or harness. But once you figure out what the cause is, you can solve it with a vet visit and/or training. Consider Online Training Training doesn’t have to be a chore. Let SpiritDog help you make training time a fun, productive bonding experience between you and your best friend!

Reading series presents esteemed poet McNair One of Maine’s most respected poets, Wesley McNair visits Bates at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28. His appearance, part of the Language Arts Live series of literary readings at Bates, takes place in Skelton Lounge, Chase Hall, 56 Campus Ave., and is open to the public at no cost. For more information, please contact 207-786-6326 or 207-786-6256. Language Arts Live brings highly regarded writers to Bates to read from and discuss their work. The series is sponsored by the English department, the Learning Associates Program, the Bates Humanities Fund, the programs in African American studies and American cultural studies, and the John Tagliabue Poetry fund. One of Maine’s most effective advocates of the art of poetry, McNair’s poems have won praise from readers, reviewers and fellow poets alike for more than 40 years. Intended to be “both accessible and complex,” as a reviewer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote, his lines find truth in the small, often overlooked events of our common existence. His most recent book is Lovers of the Lost: New & Selected Poems (David R. Godine, 2010), which showcases some of his best poetry from six previous volumes and a sampling of new work. He has authored or edited 18 books, including poetry, nonfiction and anthologies. In 2006, McNair was selected for a prestigious United States Artists Fellowship, awarded annually to America’s finest living artists. He has held grants from the Fulbright and Guggenheim foundations, two Rockefeller Fellowships, an NEH Fellowship in literature and two NEA fellowships. McNair served four times on the nominating committee for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry, and in 2010 served as guest editor in poetry for the Pushcart Prize anthology. His poetry has appeared in two editions of The Best American Poetry and in more than 50 anthologies, and has been featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition and 14 episodes of The Writer’s Almanac with Garrison Keillor. McNair, of Mercer, served as a professor at the University of Maine at Farmington from 1987 until his retirement in 2004; founded and directed the Creative Writing program there; and is now UMF’s Writer in Residence. He was a visiting professor at Colby College from 1999 to 2004. Colby acquired his personal papers in 2006 and has created an interactive McNair archive and teaching site on the Web. Bates has a long tradition of welcoming poets and fiction writers to read from their work. During a 1932 U.S. tour, William Butler Yeats read his poetry to a large audience in the Bates Chapel. For 30 years, the inimitable Bates professor and poet John Tagliabue brought many distinguished writers to campus, including Allen Ginsberg and Gwendolyn Brooks. Since 1991, when it formally instituted a concentration in creative writing within the major, the English department has hosted public readings, class visits and residencies by more than 75 acclaimed poets and writers, among them Nobel Prize laureates Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott; Pulitzer Prize winners Paul Muldoon, Donald Justice, Bates alumna Elizabeth Strout, Yusef Komunyakaa and Richard Ford; Carolyn Forché, Grace Paley, Galway Kinnell, Marge Piercy, Robert Pinsky and Sarah Manguso. Recent Bates alums who have authored prize-winning first books have also returned to read: Jessica Anthony (class of 1996), Christian Barter (1990), Gabriel Fried (1996), Christina Chiu (1991) and Craig Teicher (2001).	2017-03-28T15:59:31Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189802.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00218-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.955271	771	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:b5e54fa3-5337-4ae7-af57-689da253f385>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.bates.edu/news/2010/09/29/lal-spark-mcnair/" }
The Gapsin Coup (Korean:갑신정변, 甲申政變), also known as the Gapsin Revolution (갑신혁명, 甲申革命) and Kapsin Incident, was a failed three-day coup d'état which started on 4 December 1884 in the late Joseon Dynasty of Korea. The pro-Japanese leaders of the coup were suppressed by a Chinese garrison in Korea, which led to Chinese domination of Korea from 1885-1894. The Korean name for the events takes from the year designator in the traditional sexagenary cycle system of dating, "gapsin" here referring to the year 1884. The Gaehwapa, or Enlightenment Party, group of reformers led by Kim Okgyun and Pak Yonghyo sought to initiate rapid changes within Korea to open its borders. They sought to eliminate social distinctions, including eliminating the legal privileges of the yangban class. Thwarted by conservative factions within the Joseon court, particularly the pro-Chinese Sugup'a, they launched a coup d'état attempt with Japanese support on 4 December 1884, seizing the royal palace in Seoul. Facing this threat, Queen Min secretly requested military intervention from China's Qing Dynasty, and after three days the revolt was suppressed by 1500 troops of the Chinese garrison based in Seoul led by General Yuan Shikai. During the ensuing battle, the Japanese legation building was burned down, and forty Japanese were killed. Surviving Gaehwapa activists escaped to the port city of Chemulpo under escort of the Japanese minister to Korea, Takejo, and there boarded a Japanese ship for exile in Japan. The Japanese government demanded an apology and reparations from the Korean government over the incident, which resulted in the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1885 (Treaty of Hanseong), which was signed on 9 January 1885. The treaty restored diplomatic relations, and Korea agreed to pay Japan 110,000 Yen and provide a site and buildings for a new legation. In an effort to defuse tensions over Korea, both Japan and China agreed to withdraw their troops from Korea in the Convention of Tientsin of April 1885. China then appointed Yuan Shikai as Resident in Korea, who directed Korean affairs until 1894.	2015-07-04T12:18:12Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096706.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00244-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.965138	504	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2015-27", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:8f7290e0-1162-4134-b257-f1435bc1311b>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapsin_Coup" }

President of the jury is Mrs. Annemarie Jorritsma, Mayor of the city of Almere. Last year’s recipient of this prestigious award was Marlies Dekkers. This international award, circulated throughout 17 countries, was bestowed upon Francine Houben because of her entrepreneurship, vision, business and social influence and leadership. According to the jury report Francine Houben is one of the few woman architects who, with her office Mecanoo, has achieved worldwide prominence in the field of architecture. Francine Houben is known for innovative designs with a special attention to context, materialisation, detailing and sustainability. A recent example is the design for the National Kaohsiung Performing Arts Centre in Taiwan which is inspired by Banyan trees on the site that has now become a cultural park. Recent designs of Francine Houben/Mecanoo include: Palace of Justice, Córdoba, Spain (2006-2011) Theatre and Congress Centre La Llotja de Lleida, Spain (2005-2008) Business Innovation Centre FiftyTwoDegrees, Nijmegen (2001-2007) Content provided by In’tent, Amsterdam.	2017-03-30T17:12:18Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218195419.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212955-00153-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.921087	373	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-13", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:d99c230c-9e1b-4bf7-b4fb-c54d77c25fdb>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.expatica.com/nl/news/Architect-Francine-Houben-awarded-Prix-Veuve-Cliquot-2008_113053.html" }
Voice command in the living room 'makes so much sense in home electronics and why it will dominate the living room,' claims Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy and former AMD VP. According to Moorhead, because we have so many options when it comes to entertainment (hundreds of channels, and unlimited viewing thanks to services like Netflix), 'multi-variate and unstructured “search” is the answer to find the right content' and that natural language voice search and control is the answer. Let's put the whole Apple TV rumor thing on one side for a moment (I still don't see why Apple needs to build a TV ... almost everything here could be done with a device connected to a TV) and concentrate on voice in a non-Siri context (it's too easy to speculate pointlessly as to what Apple will or won't do with Siri just yet) and ask some key questions: Q: Would voice search/control work be beneficial in the living room? A: Yes, but ... Q: But what? A: But it has to work, and it has to be close to flawless. 99% accuracy would be frustrating. It would need to be closer to 99.9% accurate. It would also need to be fast, as fast and searching an EPG (electronic program guide). A: Because as Moorhead points out, people will lose interest in in quickly if it's a pain to use. Q: Where would voice search help? A: It would allow for user-friendly search. One of the problems with most search mechanisms is that they rely on typed-in search terms. People don't want to be typing into their TVs in the living room. Q: What about voice control? A: I'm more dubious when it comes to voice control. 'Volume up,' 'volume down' and 'change channel' and so on just don't feel all that practical to me. Maybe this is where a gestural system like Microsoft's Kinect comes into play. Q: Are technologies such as Siri up to the job? A: No, I don't think so. Q: Why hasn't anyone done this already? A: Good question! Because the technology isn't ready. I agree with Moorhead that voice search and control would certainly disrupt entertainment technology, especially if it works well. But I do have some serious reservations. - Control - One remote allows one person to be in control. How does voice or gestures change that dynamic? - Complexity - Does voice/gesture control reduce or add to the current level of complexity? - Legacy devices - Does having one device being voice controlled while everything else is driven by a remote actually help? - Backup - What's the backup mechanism for when voice/gestures fail? A remote control? Nothing? - Ecosystem - Will it be a walled garden (like iTunes) or will users be able to add and customize what's on offer? - Demand - Is there actual, real consumer demand for voice control or is this all in the minds of pundits and analysts?	2017-08-21T07:08:29Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107720.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821060924-20170821080924-00010.warc.gz	en	0.951436	651	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2017-34", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:14db57e2-439f-49a4-bdfb-d4722d40ecdf>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://www.zdnet.com/article/will-voice-control-disrupt-living-room-electronics/" }

Saturday, March 18, 2006 - South Platte River, Deckers Beautiful morning, 45 degrees, windy and cooler as the afternoon went on, 146 cfs, clear water. Fished with Tom today - nice day to get out. I haven’t been out with Tommy in over a year (Dream Stream I think last January). I think we were on the front end of a low pressure storm – the fishing seemed ok. The water was running at a decent clip – there are a lot more places that the fish hold when the water is flowing at over 125 cfs. Basically we just hit the Deckers areas between the bridges. I jumped right in at the bend where the log is down and worked my way upstream. I didn’t have a whole lot of luck at first chucking a streamer with a nymph trailer. I worked my way up to the lightning burned stump and hit that run on the far side of the island. I could see a few fish, but couldn’t stir anything in the first run. I moved up to hole that sits under the tree. I fished it for a while and finally saw a fish sitting on the far bank in a deep hole. I moved up and tried to trail the streamer right in front of him. I hooked a 14 inch rainbow that slammed the streamer – my first fish of the day, it got me excited. I kept trying at the other deeper fish, with no luck. I moved up the run to the bridge and fished the dump pool right under the highway/fly shop bridge. I’m still not sure how to fish the streamer in some of the normal pools and runs. Off color water seem to make the fish hit the streamer a lot more – of course today was gin clear. I moved down and fished the highway side of the island. I switched to an 18 and 20 midge and hooked a couple of very small fish. They were just sitting in the run (that normally wouldn’t be there with low water). I moved down again, to a spot I don’t really want to divulge. The spot is the same spot I hooked a 24 inch rainbow three weeks prior. The fish slammed my flies and thrashed it’s head and ripped the whole rig apart. Well, I started fishing the run, not for anything in particular until I saw a dark figure behind a rock move out to a sandy spot and then moved back to its holding position. I 1through a size 18 and 20 killer midge at this fish for about 20 mins, over a 100 casts – nothing. I switched the 20 killer midge to a 20 black beauty and with in 10 casts I had him on. It was a big fish and he thrashed his head again. I moved him carefully to a smoother run and beached him in 6 inches, scooped him with my net. Tommy saw me scoop him and gave me a thumbs up. The fish didn’t even fit in the net! His head was hanging out a good 8 inches! The fish was long and not as thick as usual – but still a beautiful fish. He was nicely colored and strong. The mouth was huge! I saw a small fly hanging out of his mouth – a size 20 rainbow snack – the exact fly I was fishing with 3 weeks prior! As I went to remove the fly the fish got heavy and popped out of the net. I thought I still had him on my flies so I didn’t panic. I tried to grab the net and the fish, but I didn’t want to rough him up so as he floated towards the current, I just let him go. What a beautiful fish. What a great feeling! I went down and sat next to Tom as he changed flies. I was satisfied, but wanted to keep fishing. The weather started turning a bit – it got very cool and windy. Tom decided he was going to hit the lower bridge and on the other side – I said I’d fish my way towards him. I fished the bend again, right at the log. On my first cast on the far side of the log I hooked and landed a feisty 12 inch rainbow. I caught 3 or 4 more fish from the same spot – most a little smaller. I moved down towards the bridge hitting all the normal holes. Not much luck. With such fast water it is harder to fish such small nymphs. I moved to the other side of the bridge and met Tom. We headed back to the bridge and I climbed up on to the bridge and scouted about – Tom pointed out a fish ahead of him, actually just under the bridge in the shade. I thought it was a stick, but it was a huge fish – probably a brown, maybe about 22 inches. Tom fished to it, but he said he scared it off. On the other side of the bridge was a huge rainbow that was sitting on a sandbar between two fast runs. I moved down and tried to throw at him, but lost sight of him. Tom appeared on the bridge and we decided to head out. It was a good day.	2018-07-18T23:56:17Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590362.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718232717-20180719012717-00458.warc.gz	en	0.984034	1,066	{ "fineweb_dump": "CC-MAIN-2018-30", "fineweb_id": "<urn:uuid:3bd9fdde-2484-45a2-af6c-d96f3790fd1f>", "section": "fineweb", "url": "http://brandon722.blogspot.com/2009/12/saturday-march-18-2006-south-platte.html" }

Foreign correspondent Neely Tucker and his wife, Vita, arrived in Zimbabwe in 1997. After witnessing firsthand the devastating consequences of AIDS on the population, especially the children, the couple started volunteering at an orphanage that was desperately underfunded and short-staffed. One afternoon, a critically ill infant was brought to the orphanage from a village outside the city. She d been left to die in a field on the day she was born, abandoned in the tall brown grass that covers the highlands of Zimbabwe in the dry season. After a near-death hospital stay, and under strict doctor s orders, the ailing child was entrusted to the care of Tucker and Vita. Within weeks Chipo, the girl-child whose name means gift, would come to mean everything to them. Still an active correspondent, Tucker crisscrossed the continent, filing stories about the uprisings in the Congo, the civil war in Sierra Leone, and the postgenocidal conflict in Rwanda. He witnessed heartbreaking scenes of devastation and violence, steeling him further to take a personal role in helping anywhere he could. At home in Harare, Vita was nursing Chipo back to health. Soon she and Tucker decided to alter their lives forever they would adopt Chipo. That decision challenged an unspoken social norm that foreigners should never adopt Zimbabwean children. Raised in rural Mississippi in the sixties and seventies, Tucker was familiar with the mores associated with and dictated by race. His wife, a savvy black woman whose father escaped the Jim Crow South for a new life in the industrial North, would not be deterred in her resolve to welcome Chipo into their loving family. As if their situation wasn t tenuous enough, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was stirring up national fervor against foreigners, especially journalists, abroad and at home. At its peak, his antagonizing branded all foreign journalists personae non grata. For Tucker, the only full-time American correspondent in Zimbabwe, the declaration was a direct threat to his life and his wife s safety, and an ultimatum to their decision to adopt the child who had already become their only daughter. Against a background of war, terrorism, disease, and unbearable uncertainty about the future, Chipo s story emerges as an inspiring testament to the miracles that love and dogged determination can sometimes achieve. Gripping, heartbreaking, and triumphant, this family memoir will resonate throughout the ages.
