As the new Congress settles in after the so-called wave election sent a strong message to Washington, it remains to be seen just what the message was. For public education it seems even more complex and paradoxical. The last of the stimulus monies are being spent and the much talked about day of reckoning – the inevitable cliff – is here. If there is a single area of education reform that has been least discussed, it has got to be school finance. So now we are slowly clawing our way out of the deepest recession of our lifetimes and things are uncertain in our hometowns. Could things possibly get worse? The Obama administration has managed through the powerful influence of a handful of policymakers and philanthropists to extort states to make changes as a price of admission to the controversial Race to the Top competition. These included signing on to the Common Standards effort, facilitating the unfettered growth of charter schools, and allowing for the possibility of including student test standardized test results in evaluating teacher performance. In the end, even through two rounds of competition few states received funding for their efforts. Two years into his first term, having faced down the daunting economic situation and faced with new balance of power in the Congress, ESEA, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, has yet to be reauthorized. Pundits are all over the ball bark in speculating as to the prospects for reauthorization. I tend to side with the skeptics. Secretary Duncan in a recent OpEd piece (Washington Post Jan 3) expressed optimism and apparently the administration sees ESEA as a fertile prospect for bipartisan cooperation. Secretary Duncan cites the dissatisfaction with the “one size fits all” nature of NCLB and the “teaching to the test phenomenon” and makes note of the effort to construct a new and improved testing regimen to which 44 states have given an initial nod of approval. He acknowledges that the teacher quality approach taken by NCLB is deeply flawed and applauds efforts to institute new and more sophisticated methods of teacher evaluation based on multiple measures of effectiveness. The fundamental question remains as to what the appropriate role should be for the federal government in public education. Has the escalating intrusion of the federal government over the last two decades netted any significant transformative effect educational achievement? Will the new Republican majority in the House bolstered by an ambitious core of less-government, less-spending Tea Party realize that they are the party of local control? And finally, after the success of the Obama administration in the lame duck session, will there be a willingness to hand over yet another victory to the president in education. There will be much to talk about in the weeks and months ahead. I couldn't resist clipping this ironic juxtaposition ... two different approaches to accountability (CBS website). We were all shocked by the decision made in Central Falls, RI last week to fire the entire staff of its high school. For many of us who are “long in the tooth” there may even be a sense of deja vu if you look at this as an impasse in a highly charged collective bargaining process. In any event, the Central Falls decision puts a face on what we can expect when decisions are made affecting the future of 5000 of America’s lowest performing schools. I was reminded of a meeting of an NCLB advisory committee convened by then Commissioner Ted Sergi, probably in 2002, to talk about how Connecticut would deal with the implementation of the new law. We were looking way down the road to when schools reach the restructuring sanctions. I recall reflecting to the group that day that there would be no greater test of our mettle as an education community than how we implement this provision. It seemed like a long way off, but here we are. Secretary Duncan has committed to turning around 5000 of the lowest performing schools in the United States over the next five years. The good news is that there is serious money in the School Improvement Grant for perhaps the first time. The bad news is that the same administration that described NCLB as too prescriptive has put the prescription on steroids. School turnarounds of the kind approved in Central Falls have little in terms of a track record, in fact, there is a body of evidence suggesting that, where tried, they have not worked. There is no question that these schools need a dramatic change of direction accompanied by a dramatic infusion of resources, but let’s hope that the most important lesson that we take from the unfortunate process in Rhode Island is that how we make these difficult decisions is almost as important as what we decide. Connecticut thus far has taken a different approach to the difficult work of turning around underperforming schools. CEA, for its part, initiated the broad coalition that advanced the CommPACT Schools legislation: a demonstration that true collaboration can advance the ball. The School Improvement Grant guidelines, adopted by the federal Department of Education, are intended to encourage draconian solutions, in spite of much comment pointing out the lack of a research base in support of these approaches. Charter school operators around the country have indicated a reluctance to get into the business of turning around the most difficult schools because they know how great the challenge is. Secretary Duncan, in his zeal to advance his agenda, damaged his credibility with teachers and their unions. Let’s hope that the shameful process in Rhode Island does not become the template. We should know better and can certainly do better. Only time will tell. On November 18th the Final guidelines and invitation for applications to the so-called Race to the Top competition were published in the Federal Register. The 102 page application for Phase I funding is due by January 19, 2010 less than eight weeks from now. The monetary stakes are high. According to the published non-binding estimates Connecticut can potentially tap into a range of money from $60 – $175 million. There are two preconditions: A state must have an approved application for stabilization funds, and at the time of applying, there must be not any legal, statutory, or regulatory barriers at the state level to linking data on student achievement or student growth to teachers and principals for purposes of evaluation. The guidelines are pretty much as they were proposed, but the department did respond to some of the more contentious concerns raised in the comment period and many of the hard edges have been smoothed out.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T13:21:44", "url": "https://blogcea.org/tag/secretary-duncan/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The chairs are never quite big enough. The blood pressure cuff in the exam room is usually too tight. And, his wife teases that he may get a coloring sheet at the end of his appointment, if he’s good. That’s because at age 62, Rick Marks sees a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Michel Ilbawi, at Advocate Children’s Hospital. Dr. Ilbawi recently performed a pulmonary valve replacement on Rick’s heart. Rick is one of a growing number of adults who have survived congenital heart disease. Congenital heart defects are structural problems of the heart found in infants at birth. But, because treatment has advanced so significantly over the years—today, more adults than children are actually living with the disease in the U. S. Rick, who has spent his life doing heavy exercise, including bicycling and even triathlons, hopes he can serve as an inspiration to both young people with congenital heart disease—as well as parents who receive the diagnosis when a baby is born.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T00:33:04", "url": "https://www.ahchealthenews.com/2017/10/12/62-needed-care-childrens-hospital/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Tennis specialist Craig Vickers (@craigvickers_) previews day eleven of the men’s BNP Paribas Open and provides us with his best bets for the first Masters 1000 tournament of the year. Sunday marks finals day at the BNP Paribas Open and we are set for a scorching afternoon at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. And we enjoyed another profitable day as Dominic Thiem took care of business before our 2-0 bet on Roger Federer was voided. The Austrian produced a solid serving performance to seal a place in his first Masters 1000 final on hard court, outlasting our quarter outright Milos Raonic, 7-6(3) 6-7(3) 6-4. Meanwhile, Federer did not even take to court as Rafael Nadal’s worst fears were realised after Friday’s quarter-final exertions. The Spaniard cited a knee problem – a common occurrence in his hard court toils – which will also rule him out of next week’s Miami Open. That sets up a meeting between the five-time champion at Indian Wells, Federer, and Thiem, with the pair’s last encounter having come in the round robin stages of the ATP Finals last year. Federer holds the upper hand in their six career meetings (a 4-2 lead) but three of those meetings came all the way back in 2016. Thiem does have experience of defeating the Swiss at Masters 1000 level, however, having got the better of him at the Italian Open, although that was a very different version of Federer before he injected new life into his career in 2017. The Swiss’ record at Indian Wells is remarkable and he will have the added incentive on Sunday of claiming an unprecedented sixth title at the venue. In fact, 2013 was the last year in which he failed to reach at least the final in California and he could have been approaching Sunday’s final on ten match winning run at Indian Wells alone if he didn’t squander three match points in the final against Juan Martin del Potro twelve months ago. Instead he’ll have to settle for a nine match winning streak after his triumph in Dubai two weeks ago – his 100th career title in total which will ought to have lifted the burden off his shoulders heading into this week. His performances so far have been flawless, ousting Stan Wawrinka with consummate ease in the third round after it was flagged as a potential banana skin. And he will surely benefit from the day’s rest afforded to him by Nadal’s withdrawal at the age of 37. Thiem will hardly be searching for confidence heading into the match and his serving numbers against Raonic for a set and a half yesterday were staggering. In fact, he committed zero unforced errors in the opening set, but his oft-maligned deficiencies reared its ugly head in the second set tie-break (although he was unfortunate with the net chord at 3-4) and he very nearly gifted the Canadian a break back when he served for the match at 5-4 in the deciding set. A hare-brained dropshot from the Austrian went unpunished by Raonic and Thiem eventually sealed the deal but it perhaps offered an insight into the nerves of the 25-year-old with his experience at the latter stages of big hard court events limited. It would be no shame if Thiem were to bow out to Federer considering the Swiss’ envious record at Indian Wells, but he could struggle for rhythm early on with the 20-time major winner fresh off a day’s rest. Under 9.5 games in set one is the appealing bet of the final at 6/5.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T20:23:42", "url": "https://www.thepunterspage.com/2019-bnp-paribas-open-day-11-betting-preview-tips/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Have you ever accepted a free hug from a stranger? How did it make you feel: warm, happy, comforted? Feeling connected to other people, especially through touch, has been shown to protect us from illness. And even something as simple as a pat on the back or a supportive touch on the arm can induce trust, and reduce pain and stress. Although often disregarded, touch has a profound influence on how we feel and act, and has the power to communicate complex emotions without words. Forget your brain or guts; skin is your largest body organ. If you could lay your skin out flat, it would measure about two square metres. In fact, your skin accounts for about 16 per cent of your total body weight. Skin does many important things, like protecting you from infection and keeping all your vital bits on the inside. But skin is also packed with nerves and receptors to connect you to the outside world. Before you ever heard or saw anything, you were feeling your surroundings in the womb: touch is the first sense to develop. We have long known how important touch is to human and other animal babies. Back in the 1950s, rhesus monkeys denied access to a mother became anxious, withdrawn and depressed. When the infant monkeys were offered two different surrogate mothers, they chose a soft, cloth doll over a wire one that offered food and water. So important is touch, the monkeys chose the comfort of a soft pretend Mum over essential sustenance. Young rats denied grooming by their mothers grow up to be fearful and anxious. Not only that, these rats have weaker immune systems than rats groomed and licked by their mothers. ‘Touch therapy’, or massage, has been shown to be vital for premature babies. Premature babies who receive massage for 5 – 10 days gain up to 48% more weight and stay in hospital for 3 – 6 fewer days than premature babies who aren’t massaged. Hugging, a king among touches, has been shown to lead to a variety of benefits. You are less likely to get sick when exposed to the common cold if you have experienced lots of hugs. Hugging can also lower your heart rate and increase your oxytocin levels: oxytocin is also known as the love hormone. Interestingly, when we have lost connection with someone, we refer to it as being out of touch, or having lost touch with someone. But there are clear cultural differences in what is considered normal when it comes to interpersonal touch. In a well-known study from the 1960s, a psychologist, Sidney Jourard watched friends chatting with one another in cafes around the world. During a one-hour conversation, friends in Puerto Rico touched each other around 180 times. In Paris, the average was 110 touches, while in London the average was zero. Touch doesn’t have to be as overt as a hug to have an effect. Touching the arm or shoulder of someone for one or two seconds when making a request can strongly influence how that person responds. For example, a simple touch to someone’s forearm makes it much more likely they will give money to a person on the street. If a waitress or waiter touches the arm of a customer in a restaurant, they get paid a higher tip and students who were gently touched on the back by a teacher in an incidental (and generally unnoticed way) were twice as likely to participate in a class discussion. It even works in the library: students whose hands were touched for a brief moment when being handed back their library cards said they liked the library more and were more likely to go back. This was true even if the student wasn’t aware the touch had occurred. Similarly, people rate someone trying to sell them a car more highly if the shopper has been touched by the salesperson. And people are more likely to give someone a free cigarette if the request is accompanied by a slight touch. When scientists carefully watched the behaviour of players in the U.S. National Basketball League, they made an interesting observation. Teams including players who touched each other during a game to offer support (think high fives and fist bumps) performed better even after taking into account a whole lot of other factors. Research has shown that we are also highly tuned to the unspoken words behind a seemingly simple touch. Participants in several experiments have been able to detect disgust, anger, fear, love, sympathy and gratitude from a one-second touch to their forearm from a stranger they could not see. Just good guesses? The study participants were able to label the right emotion at much better-than-chance levels. With 12 possible emotions to choose from, the chances of simply guessing the right emotion was 8%. But compassion, anger, love, gratitude and fear were all correctly interpreted more than half the time. One slightly concerning finding from this study was that on the whole, women are good at ‘reading’ women’s emotions from touch and men do well at deciphering the emotions conveyed by the touch of other men. But when it comes to interpreting emotions expressed via touch across the gender divide, let’s just say we’ve got a lot to learn. Next PostExactly how many degrees of separation?	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T15:53:28", "url": "https://espressoscience.com/2016/03/16/even-the-slightest-touch-2/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
The BBC have today announced Lieutenant Columbo is to be the new presenter of their flagship current affairs programme, Question Time. Columbo, who is rumoured to be 103 years of age will take over the role from 79 year old David Dimbleby in September. The appointment is widely seen as a surprise move by the BBC who had been under pressure from critics to install a female candidate in the role for the first time. Kirsty Wark, who had been touted by many as a serious contender for the position, described the news as “very disappointing”. “Given all the recent controversy over the pay gap at the BBC and the under-valuing of women in our profession, this would have been the perfect time to make some redress by appointing a woman to this role. Instead, the Corporation have chosen yet again to go with an even older white man than the one who was already in place. It is especially disappointing that the new Question Time presenter is a fictional character” said Ms Wark in a statement released to the press. The BBC have defended the decision citing Columbo’s demonstrable track record of getting his questions in, even when the interviewee has clearly had enough. Director General Tony Hall said he was looking forward to a new era of the programme where politicians would no longer “get away with murder” in their responses. Hall, was initially impressed by the Lieutenant’s forensic questioning after meeting him at a dinner party. “He asked me where I bought my shoes which I found quite disarming and before I knew it I’d offered him the Today Programme and a salary of 4.5 million pounds”. “It turned out Columbo couldn’t commit to a three-hour morning radio slot as it would be a long time to keep his basset hound waiting in the car. We compromised on Question Time which is only an hour long and less onerous for the dog” said Hall. The pay unit at the Corporation who are famous for their hard-nosed intransigence are reported to have offered Columbo 7.2 million pounds for an hour’s work a week. Columbo speaking on the phone from Los Angeles was said to be delighted with the deal. “It’s a great honour to be offered this very important role on Question Time. My wife is a huge fan. She loves it. Watches it all the time. She’s gonna be very excited when she hears about this”. In a related but unexpected development David Dimbleby has agreed to take over Lieutenant Columbo’s job at the LAPD Homicide Unit. The move has been criticised by the group Black Lives Matter as “a bewildering development”.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T21:08:39", "url": "https://accidentalrepublic.com/blogs/news/bbc-confirm-lieutenant-columbo-as-new-question-time-presenter", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The real race took place later in the night after it was dark but I wanted to get some day time pictures so you could actually see what was going on. Glowsticks galore. The more the better. Gross Motor skills – Even older children need to work their large motor skills. Thinking ahead to what activity is next. Planning for what comes next. Thinking creatively about the use of materials to achieve something new. Starting point was the balloon hop. Inside the white balloons were 3 glowsticks. Blow the balloon up first and slide the glowsticks in. May need to blow it up some more before tying. These were by far the coolest thing of the race. They lit up like lanterns in the dark. Balloon hop to the arch. The arch gave me some issues and if I had it to do over again I would have gotten another connector but I didn’t and I didn’t want to drive the 20 minutes back to the Dollar Tree to get one so we just taped them together. The tape we had kinda sucked. So in retrospect I would say three connectors and better tape would have made this part of the race look alot better. From the arch to bowling. We used 6 plastic drink bottles, each with a glowstick in it. For the actual race they each had a ball to bowl with. We used books to help the bottles stand because they didn’t want to stay up on the grass. From bowling to the hop. On the ground where you can not see are glowsticks for them to hop over. This was not easily viewed in the daytime but they are there. From hop path to the bus tent. This was the funniest thing because by the time they hit the tent they knew who was going to win. So the one in the back would always pretend to get stuck in the tent. There was also the added obstacle of the toddler bus driver. After the bus were two light up balls. They were to pick up their ball and run from the bus to the finish line with the ball under their chin. Night time came and they race through their light up obstacle coarse. I knew you would not be able to see the actual race as pictures in the dark were not that good. The balloons were my favorite part. Do you have a project that has to do with glow stick? Want to share?

It is recommended to make sure that you have a good grip on the handle, just in case it does not fit in your hand you can add on grip tape or some covers to get a secure grip. It is significant to make sure that the knife doesn’t slip while working, so it’s better to test it before you start off your task. It is essential to make sure that you keep the movement controlled while cutting or chopping.

Similar is the case with Gerber Bear Grylls knife; if you will take good care of it, then it is inevitably going to last long. Clean and cover the knife after every use. It will help the blade to be intact and give you the long-lasting results. Use the built-in cover to pack and to keep it safe while you are carrying it along. This cover is going to help protect you and your surroundings from the sharp edges that may result in an injury. If you want to use any other cover for your knife, then you need to make sure it perfectly fits in. What safety measure you should take into consideration? Try maintaining a specific distance of your hand and the blade while working. You might have experience of using the short blade knives, but this one comes with a little longer one. So, make sure you position your hands correctly while cutting or chopping to avoid being chopped off. Make sure that you use covers to secure the hands form any specific damage.

We are very proud to announce the release of Catel 3.6! In this blog post we will explain the most important changes. To see all the changes, please check out the release notes or the issue tracker. In this version we added circular dependency protection to the TypeFactory. This means that if there are types with a circular dependency using dependency injection, the TypeFactory will throw a CircularDependencyException with the exact type path which was used to create the type instead of a StackOverflow without any info. As you can see in the image below, when a dependency causes a circular dependency, you will now get an exception with really useful information (check out the TypePath). We moved the generic methods such as ResolveType<TInterface>() to extension methods. They were already calling the non-generic parameters. This way if someone wants to implement his/her own ServiceLocator or TypeFactory, he/she doesn’t have to write all the extension methods (since they are called on the IServiceLocator and ITypeFactory). Catel is the only framework that supports IoC container synchronization between containers (for example, with MEF or Unity). This version improves the way the synchronization handles both singleton and transient registrations between external containers. We also made a few performance improvements to the synchronization. There were several new services added. This service works in the same manner as the SaveFileService and OpenFileService. It allows a user to select a directory in WPF. In this release we also focused a lot on performance. Upgrading from an older version to 3.6 should provide a significant performance improvement. performance, please check out the performance considerations in the documentation. In WPF, the user controls are loaded from top => bottom. In other technologies these are random and unreliable. In version 3.6 we wrote the FrameworkElementLoadedManager to ensure that Loaded events in Catel are always reliable. This means that no matter what technology is used, the Loaded event is always fired from top => bottom in the visual tree.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-21T05:07:01", "url": "https://www.catelproject.com/2013/06/29/whats-new-in-catel-3-6/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Bob Fowler is a college professor from North Ridgeville, Ohio who lives with the blood cancer multiple myeloma. Three years after his diagnosis in 2006, he was put on Celgene’s medication, Revlimid. He was shocked to learn that one 28-day cycle of Revlimid costs his insurance company $13,600 for a total of $177,000 per year — an expense he worries will fall on him when he retires in the next couple of years. Bob has taken his outrage with the cost of his Revlimid and used it to speak out on behalf of all patients. Home in Ohio, Bob testified in front of the Ohio House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee in favor of House Bill 479. The bill banned pharmacy benefit managers from including gag clauses in their contracts with pharmacies. Ohio went on to lead an aggressive campaign in opposition to PBMs. Bob’s voice was a big part of that success. Bob hasn’t limited his work to Ohio. Last year he advocated in support of the Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples (CREATES) Act of 2019, a common-sense solution to stop drug companies from blocking cheaper generics by abusing a FDA safety protocol call the Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies (REMS). Celgene utilizes REMS to block generics of Revlimid from coming to market. Bob spoke with his Senator’s staff about supporting the bill. Just last week, CREATES was reintroduced to the Senate with support from 28 bipartisan cosponsors. Bob is a February Price Fighting Hero because of his steadfast commitment to fighting for lower drug prices for Ohioans and Americans alike. His voice and advocacy are to be admired. Over the last few months, P4AD has honored FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, multiple sclerosis patient Victoria Stuessel, the former Administrator of CMS Andy Slavitt, metastatic breast cancer patient and advocate Becky Hall, Nevada State Senator Yvanna Cancela, T1International founder Elizabeth Rowley, Oregon State Senator Linthicum, and dry eye patient and advocate Ann Neilson, US Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Crohn’s patient Leah Clark.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T16:36:17", "url": "https://www.patientsforaffordabledrugs.org/2019/02/11/bob-fowler/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Today got sticky very quickly! The morning wasn’t too bad but we had weather more reminiscent of July by noon or so. It was quite hot but the recent precipitation has made it humid as well. Our tropicals, like the elephant ears (Alocasia) seen above in this copper cheese vat planter (English cottage garden), should enjoy this warm up! The entire week looks quite warm with a chance of rain late in the week. We haven’t had to run any irrigation since last Friday and are riding this “recent saturation” as long as possible. We’ve had so many visitors recently which is wonderful to observe and they are sure catching some nice late summer color. We pride ourselves in extending our seasonal color all the way until hard frost and this year will be no exception. Our excellent staff and volunteers provide plenty of “sweat equity” as they accomplished a wide range of projects in the sticky heat today! We had some excellent volunteer help on a day that became quite hot quickly! Above are Kathy (left) and Eva weeding in one of many areas that they targeted today. Bill was in for his mowing duties too. Kay came in for some more planting and tidying and Vern worked on some carpentry projects. Maury ran errands which included picking up more supplies for the Holiday Lights Show (HLS). We also saw Tina B., Bev D. and a couple others today. The grounds staff had a busy day with everyone here except Terry (who apparently needed a day off…). 🙂 Janice worked on tidying, watering, freshening up the cutting display and pre-Fall Plant Sale duties. With the sale starting next Friday, September 11th (9 am – 4 pm) for RBG Friends Members only, our window is getting tighter for preparations. The sale does extend through the weekend and RBG Members will have a 10% discount over the duration of the sale. Cindy worked on tidying multiple areas, yard watering and did a nice job mulching a border in the terrace garden that really needed it! Cheryl continued her tidying excellence in the rose garden and woodland walk garden throughout the day. Larry H. continued with both composting and mulching and ended up covering a lot of square footage today. Big John worked on fertilizing containers, clean-up, planting and many other tasks. Bob K. had some electrical projects, re-graveling duties and some odds and ends. I was able to place plants for installation (by Kay) and continue to prepare for the looming Fall Plant Sale. It was another great day!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T02:48:24", "url": "http://www.rotarybotanicalgardens.org/july-returns-on-september-1st/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

In the day and age of internet shopping, buying a hot tub no longer requires hours of searching different retail stores and being confused by slanted sales pitches. The internet has opened up the gates to affordability and competition among spa manufacturers. No longer is the glitz (and associated overhead costs) of the showroom priced into the hot tub. Many times, manufacturers offer discount hot tub spas through their online showrooms. Reviews and review sites on the internet are often posted by the actual hot tub manufacturer or one of their selling agents. It is uncanny how some review sites list a handful of reviews that all occured during the same month and then nobody reviews it for the next year. That is a telltale sign of a self-review. Beware of glowing reviews of hot tubs online without a fair balance of pros and cons. Most hot tub manufacturers source their components from the same third party suppliers: pumps, spa packs, circuit boards, topside controls, plumbing parts and even the acrylic surfaces are made for the entire industry by a handful of suppliers. So that leaves the question of such large price disparities on the market. Is one brand really better than another, and if so why? Here at discount hot tub spas, we will scour the net for discount hot tubs that are made by reputable North American manufacturers who have been in business at least five years. We will not review, recommend or sell hot tubs by fly-by-night organizations or made by unverified manufacturers. Although we will give our opinion and recommendations here on the site, it is up to each buyer to perform due diligence before making any online purchase. We hope you get a great deal on the hot tub of your dreams and above all else begin using it for relaxation, muscle rejuvination, health reasons or just for fun. Soak away your troubles and aches with your brand new Hot Tub Spa.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T02:50:30", "url": "http://discounthottubspas.com/2011/01/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Three is the age when kids have great appetite for learning. Our guide contains 28 handpicked apps to support this exciting period. It includes games, as well as apps for early math, reading, hygiene, music, and creative play. As father to two sons, Philip (4) and Noah (2), I get many questions from other parents about the best iPad apps for their kids. This happens so frequently that I decided to compile a list of recommended iPad apps for one-year-olds and two-year-olds. Now, I am back with a new list written with three-year-olds in mind. Taking hints from our yearly Best Apps for Kids list, I organized this list based on each app's use case. An app that teaches kids about numbers with finger counting. Kids can put their fingers on the screen and the app will show the appropriate number character. The app also includes games that introduce simple addition and subtraction calculations. A cute app that offers six mini games about number recognition, ordering, counting, addition, and subtraction. Designed around the theme "aliens", one of the games shows a spaceship beaming things up and down to explain addition and subtraction. Because the paintings and objects are placed differently each time, it has great replay value. Yum-Yum Letters offers a flexible gameplay that can be customized to your child’s ability and preference. You can select the order of letters and font to use, and get progress reports for each user profile. The app offers 3 unique themes and complementary mini games to reinforce learning and build motivation. A beautiful app that teaches kids about shapes, colors, patterns, and scales with over 50 puzzles in six categories. Developed with the help of experts, it's easy to use. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish. One Giggly Gorilla is an interactive book that promotes listening skills and reading comprehension. Kids follow the instructions in the narration to catapult the gorillas up the tree. The app is beautifully illustrated, with 3D animations and cheeky dialog on every page. Moonbeeps: Fireflies is a gorgeous, imaginative app in which kids explore a moonlit forest, collecting colorful fireflies. Beautiful graphics and soothing background music come together to create a dreamy landscape that will captivate kids of all ages. You can use the app as a nightlight, and it will go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. This app encourages kids to brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes by brushing with fairytale characters. It includes tips and animated videos on how to brush properly, and a fun two-player game mode. Parents can track their child's progress through the built-in calendar and reminders. A simple app that encourages kids to stop playing when they need to go. It features fun games, music videos, and a catchy theme song. Parents can find helpful tips on potty training to apply in real life. An interactive book about a picky eater who discovers the secret world of vegetables. It includes four mini games to develop basic skills in math and coloring. Available in English, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese. Kids will love jamming together adorable monsters and making their own music in Melody Jams. Since the instruments are always in harmony, there’s no wrong way to play. The production value is excellent in this app, and both graphics and audio are quite polished. An immersive app where the colorful shapes that kids draw produce unique sounds. It offers 10+ musical instruments in three genres: classic, disco, and rhumba. A great app for kids of all ages. Tiny Pirates presents kids with an interactive miniature of a pirate ship, complete with its crew. As kids explore each handcrafted illustration, they also discover the world of pirates and learn about cause and effect. The app has no rules, timers, or scores for an enjoyable, pressure-free gameplay. Artie's Magic Pencil gets kids learning the fundamentals of drawing with a fun and interactive adventure story. It features colorful artwork, funny characters, and intuitive interface. Drawing worksheets are also available so kids can extend their creative time away from the screen. In this app, kids discover what makes a day and how the sun’s movement causes shadows and affects our notion of time. They also learn how to tell the time using analog and digital clocks. An educational game designed to help kids develop young kids' visual-spatial reasoning and creative problem-solving skills through open-ended play. It's based on the award-winning visual education method created by Y. Agam, a world-renowned pioneer of kinetic art. With eight levels of difficulty and support for up to four player profiles, this app can be shared at home or in the classroom. This unique app encourages kids to embrace themselves, quirks and all, which it calls "you-things". It shows many excellent examples of uniqueness to help kids find theirs. The ultimate app for kids who love dinosaurs. It also teaches kids about the alphabets. Kids can touch and swipe to feed the dinosaurs, explore X-Ray mode, and learn 50 dinosaur facts. Available in English and Spanish. A train simulation game for little kids and train-lovers in general. It's simple to use so kids should have no problem figuring out what to do. Because the sceneries are randomly generated every time, the journey is never boring. Kids also get to flex their brain a bit by completing missions and performing simple tasks. An expressive memory matching game that features several unique game modes, such as counting and addition. It has an adjustable AI opponent to entertain players of all ages. Parents should definitely try playing 16 cards in hard mode against Fiete. Note: Fiete Match is the winner of SEGA’s Gamescom 2013 Big Indie Pitch. A simple game that trains concentration, listening skills, and logical thinking. It has multiple levels of difficulty which allow kids of all ages and abilities to find appropriate challenges. It's also mostly text-free so young kids can use the app without much difficulty. An interactive experience in which kids drive around a virtual city and help out friendly characters with various tasks disguised as mini games. Each task requires kids to put on their thinking cap as they practice counting, matching, sorting, shapes, puzzles, and more. The Orchard by HABA is a great app to get kids started with board games and also learning about colors. It has only a few rules and is very easy to learn. A narrator will guide you through the gameplay when you're playing for the first time. Each round of game is short but perfectly timed for young gamers.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T05:52:14", "url": "https://www.geekswithjuniors.com/best-apps-for-3-year-olds", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Yesterday’s protest in which Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott were effectively held hostage in a cafe by Aboriginal Tent Embassy protestors was a disgrace. It confirmed virtually everything Tony Abbott had said about it being time to move on from this ridiculous ongoing protest shanty town. While I respect the rights of people to protest peacefully, yesterday’s scenes proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the Aboriginal Tent Embassy is not a protest movement in favour of peace and reconciliation, but is instead a protest movement aimed squarely at highlighting and supporting differences between Australia’s democratic and “western” culture (which is supported and embraced by a large majority of Aborigines), and a perverted form of ancient Aboriginal culture where Aborigines want to live in violent, no-modern-convenience societies while still being propped up by the taxpayers in the society that they want to destroy. I’ve been over this ground many times before, so I won’t go in to the whole argument about how wrong the Aboriginal Tent Embassy is, or my solution to the rift between some Aborigines and the rest of society. Instead, I’ll focus on yesterday’s protest, today’s subsequent protest, and where I think this is headed. The Aboriginal Tent Embassy has been irrelevant for ages. We have barely heard from them in years and years, and yet yesterday hundreds of them were there to hold a protest. Yes, yesterday was Australia Day and yes, it is to be expected that they would hold their usual “invasion day” nonsense, but it normally doesn’t happen with the sort of numbers we saw yesterday. That same shoe, which was for all intents and purposes, stolen, is now being auctioned off on eBay. Proceeds of crime? Death threat, joking or not? And look who has the shoe and is auctioning it off…Tent Embassy elder Pat Eatock. Now, thanks to a court ruling last year (the case that Andrew Bolt lost), I can’t discuss how much of Pat Eatock’s heritage is Aboriginal. In much the same way that it is illegal to camp opposite Old Parliament House, I can’t discuss Pat Eatock’s heritage…the difference though, of course, is that for one reason or another, the law seems to not apply to the Aboriginal Tent Embassy’s occupants, and they have very little respect for the law, or the country itself anyway, as today they went and burned the Australian flag outside Parliament House, because for some reason they can’t understand why people are upset with them over yesterday’s disgraceful incident. But not everyone is against them. Leftist blog New Matilda (I thought it had shut down…apparently not) has come out in support of yesterday’s violent protest. They claim that it wasn’t violent (or that the police who were protecting Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott as they ran to a car, were the ones who were violent), and that it’s a giant media conspiracy to claim that there was any violence (the statements seem contradictory, but they’re both in there). So, let’s look at what happened yesterday. There was chanting, which is acceptable. There was an angry mob surrounding a cafe and banging on the windows of said cafe…the windows were for all intents and purposes the walls of the cafe and there was genuine concern that the glass would break at any moment. Intimidation…illegal. Property damage…illegal. Detaining people against their will…illegal. This counts as violence in my book. Then there were the attempts to block the path of the police as they hurriedly escorted Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott to a waiting car…maybe illegal, maybe not, but definitely wrong and intimidatory. Julia Gillard tripped during the scurry to the car and she lost a shoe. The shoe was then taken by the Aborigines and a death threat was made against the Prime Minister. Illegal. The shoe is now being sold. Selling stolen property is a crime. And despite all of this, the Left still support the protest. This support is straight out of another playbook. The “defend Occupy” playbook which the Left used in the U.S. last year to defend the Occupy camps which turned violent, and to try to cover up the rapes which occurred at some of the Occupy camps, and to try to claim that it was all just some media conspiracy that was trying to make the Occupy camps look bad (as if they ever needed any help in looking bad). I don’t think any of this is a coincidence. I think the plans were drawn up after Andrew Bolt lost that court case last year. It’s pretty simple really. The Occupy movement has gone nowhere in this country. There’s a handful staying in Martin Place in Sydney just so that they can remain in the background of Channel Seven’s Martin Place studios, but elsewhere they are almost non-existent or in such small numbers that people would mistake them for homeless people (which reminds me, last year a large number of Homeless people in the U.S. said that they wanted to reclaim the parks from the Occupy crowd). To maintain a minor position in the public consciousness, the Occupy mob occasionally camp out overnight in a place where that is prohibited, so that the media will report on their arrest. Here in Canberra, Occupy had perhaps a dozen people on the first day, but they didn’t stay for the night and didn’t bother to turn up the next day. Their biggest problem is that most areas near Parliament do not permit camping…but there is one site where a group who claim to have a particular ethnic heritage are permitted to camp illegally…the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. And the court case last year just gave every white person in the country the ability to claim to be of Aboriginal heritage without ever being questioned about it. Both the Tent Embassy and the Occupy movement were increasingly irrelevant forces in this country last year, but with that court case last year, an opportunity arose for Occupy to set up camp outside Parliament on the same site as the Tent embassy. They couldn’t just move in though…that would be too transparent. Instead, a plan had to be drawn up. Australia Day is always a day of protest for the Tent Embassy, so nobody would be likely to bat an eyelid if the protest was a bit larger than normal as it could be put down to people giving them more support, especially if you can get some left-wing academic to claim that flying the Australian Flag is a racist act, just a few days before Australia Day (The Sydney Morning Herald seems to have pulled that article, but the ABC still has it online…attempts to rewrite history perhaps?). It is also predictable that, on Australia Day, a politician would make a comment about Aboriginal affairs and the Tent Embassy. It’s not hard to twist any statement on the matter to suit the agenda of the Tent Embassy, and that’s what they did with Tony Abbott’s comments. The protest could then be about whatever comments were made by a politician on this “ever so sensitive day for Aborigines”. What couldn’t have been predicted was how lucky the protestors would get. They would have known that Julia Gillard would be near their protest, and picketing her would have been a big news story by itself…but for the object of their derision, Tony Abbott, to be there too…well they really did hit the jackpot. They were able to set up a hostage situation while keeping just enough distance for it to not be considered as one. They then followed through on the rest of their plan of making inflammatory statements and letting the media run with it. Today, the Left have come out and defended the Tent Embassy protestors, and we have had another protest. Shortly, I predict, the rest of the plan is for Occupy to come out in support of the Tent Embassy and join them in “solidarity” at the Tent Embassy. It gives both movements some relevance again, and allows the Left to use both movements to advance their agenda outside Parliament. What happens after that will probably depend on how the rest of us react and how our politicians react, but have no doubt, this whole thing was heavily planned and orchestrated, and we have only just seen the start of it.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-21T03:10:45", "url": "http://samuelgordonstewart.com/2012/01/will-the-tent-embassy-and-occupy-join-forces-it-seems-to-be-where-this-is-headed", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Last year marked the first year in which we made our own cider. We had inherited an old Jaffrey cider press from our grandfather. My brother tore the press down to its bits and refurbished it, complete with a new paint job. We bought about a dozen bushels of Macs and Cortland apples, plastic jugs, and caps from the Patch's at Walhowdon Farm (Lebanon, NH). After that, it was pretty easy. The press has a hand cranked grinder which grinds the whole apples into a wet sawdust like consistency. This is called the pommace. The pommace falls into a cheese cloth suspended in a slatted bucket sitting below the grinder. Once we had ground up all the apples (or enough to fill our cloth), we slid the slatted bucket under the press. The press is operated by another hand crank. This crank drives a screw press that slowly drives a thick hardwood piece of wood onto the pommace. The pommace was already "leaky" even before we had pressed it, but once we started to compress the pommace, there was a river of cider. The cider is filtered through the cheesecloth and from there is collected in the large tray that holds the slatted bucket. The tray is slightly slanted and the freshly squeezed cider flows out hole in the tray. We had made a neat little faucet / filter device, but found that the 1 1/4" tubing and filter simply clogged up with apple bits. The amount of these bits you want in your cider is up to you; if you wanted a clearer cider, you could add something as simple as a kitchen colander underneath your hole that would work sufficiently. Either way, just hold a collection jug underneath the cider flow until its full. Cap and repeat. We found that we got about 3 gallons of cider per bushel (about 45-48lbs). That would be a little bit more than 50% (if cider weighs about the same as milk). Industrial size cider presses do better. They average about 4.5 gallons per bushel, or about 75%. After the pommace has been pressed, we were left with a slightly damp sawdust like mash. Professional presses will leave a dry, crumbly, cake like substance that breaks apart in your hand. We're not there yet. We fed the leftover to our pigs who were glad for the consideration. For the second batch, Nate brought and installed a food disposal unit (what you would find under your kitchen sink). We found this makes a much finer pommace, but can get bogged down if you feed it apples too eagerly. We have plans in the works to upgrade our processing capabilities. I'm sure we'll have more to add in a separate post. We drank most of that batch as sweet cider throughout the fall, and made some more sweet cider for Thanksgiving with the whole family. Led by Nate, we also tried our hand at making some hard cider. Typically, hard cider is not made from the same apples used to make sweet cider. Sweet cider comes from table apples, whereas table cider comes from specific cider apples found to have the correct qualities when fermented and blended. For our hard cider, we pretty much ignored any of the recipes and just went with what we had. We made about 5 gallons of hard cider which is sitting in Nate's basement. The fermentation process has since stopped and the cider is resting but should be ready shortly. We'll keep you posted with our results.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T22:34:07", "url": "http://www.lockehavenfarm.com/blog/cider-making", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Which literary form is used in my last duchess? Learn how to write about structure and form and iambic pentameter. Not only that, we see an artist who captures the true qualities of his subject. This man seems more and more psychotic and controlling as the p oem goes on. And that inane flirtation really needles the Duke. The lines do not employ end-stops; rather, they use enjambment—gthat is, sentences and other grammatical units do not necessarily conclude at the end of lines. It just makes the poem so much more delicious in its intrigue. The story of this poem perhaps has a historical allusion: a reference to a similar occurrence in history. Fanthorpe's poem is themed around the painting St George and the Dragon by the artist Uccello. This helps in objectifying her. They eloped to Florence, Italy, where his wife gave birth to their son, but after the death of Elizabeth, Robert moved back to London and it was here that he died in 1889. It was the period of Queen Victoria's reign. What is Browning trying to convey? Browning was an English poet who has become known as the person to invent and popularise the dramatic monologue. How many meanings does 'object' have, in this poem? After the revolutionary war, women plead for equal rights, were denied even after their great contribution. He wanted more respect and believed that to be what he deserved, and when he felt it was not given he took her life from her. As well as this, he wants his gift to be treated differently to others which the Duchess was not doing. What Browning does in the poem is skilfully create an image of a petty, autocratic monster who cannot see beauty where it truly is. Notice Neptune, though, 55Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity, 56Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me. The progression that we see is in fact a disintegration: a disintegration of the calm and measured showing off of the Duke, which he comes back to once again at the end. He draws a curtain to reveal a painting of. It allows you to explore other characters. I found it horrifying that a human being could plan in such a cold and calculating way, but I also found this fascinating. Now that she was put away somewhere, and her life-size painting was on the wall, he could be the only one to ever see that look of joy on her face, because he would allow no one else to look at the painting without his permission. By calling that piece, a wonder emphasizes that he has many other paintings in his possession but gives the impression that the painting of the Duchess is the one painting that he values the most. Browning uses the dramatic monologue form very skillfully to show us the controlling, jealous, and arrogant traits the duke possessed without ever mentioning them explicitly. First, I would like to describe a little. He comes across as mercenary. Understand all the language techniques of this dramatic monologue. Dramatic monologue although originated well before the 19th century, it was popularized by Victorian poets like Browning, Tennyson and Dante Rossetti. Slowly conditions improved for women as occupational and educational opportunities began to increase. The man is showing some important guests around his palace and stops to brag about his recent wife and how he ordered her death. Allusion: Perhaps the most significant allusion—a reference to another work of art or text—is at the end of the play to the Roman god Neptune. The Duke is the speaker of this poem and reveals much about his conceited character while talking about this painting. In 1846 Robert Browning married Elizabeth Barrett who was also a poet. She is a woman who prefers the simple things in life. This gives the reader an insight into the speaker's problems and dissatisfaction of a relationship, due to an imbalance of power. This is one of the most popular poems of Robert Browning. The Duke is trying to impress the counts representative by showing him around his gallery and the painting of his last Duchess. The duke then uses a metaphor to say that his duchess failed to keep her prized possession, her husband. The speaker is not the poet and the scene unfolds only through the monologue of the speaker. In my last duchess there are many different language techniques used to present the relationship between the Duke and Duchess. Browning's Father was the owner of a large library of thousands of books, this helped Browning gain an immense literary knowledge. Within literature, characters may seem perfect but upon closer inspection, are deeply flawed. I analyzed both the question and response carefully through the literary devices and found. It also forces the reader to question his or her own response to the subject portrayed and the method of its portrayal. All describe Robert Browning's poem, 'My Last Duchess'. In each of the poems, both Medusa and the Duke of Ferrara represent the fickleness. One may think that the Duke has? Three literary devices that Shakespeare uses to make Macbeth more interesting. This makes clear that he wants people to join in on his obsession of her. Again, it smells like a psychopath to me, someone who seems to appreciate art, but not life. The whole poem is only one stanza long, and each line in the stanza comprises of eight syllables. Find professional near you by following the link. It is an account that reveals that the Duke is making it clear that he will make no compromise and that he expects his next wife, whom you are representing, to be perfect. The more he attempted to conceal these traits, however, the more they became evident.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T05:00:42", "url": "http://mumbles.co.uk/my-last-duchess-language-techniques.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
The Accel Slim has rapidly become the best selling éS shoe and is now also available as a mid top. The increase in height increases support and over all good looks! Triple stitching for increased durability, STI Ortholite insoles for supreme comfort, and a unique tread pattern make this shoe a leader in it’s class. These are at the top of my rotation of shoes. Really fresh and stylish. Also very nice on the foot. Amazing shoe! Picked up a pair today and had the best day skating. Love the mid size extra support for the ankle! Great Shoe. In general ES has been killing it for years and i just recently tried a pair of these for the first time, over the years i have tried all the different brands and ill tell you what STICK TO BRANDS THAT ONLY MAKE SKATE SHOES. These a ready out the box and still intact after heavy duty shreddage for the last two months. Just got another pair. Highly Recomended. Definitely a durable skate shoe. Holding up really nicely after a month of heavy skating. Comfortable too, although I immediately swapped out the insoles for some FP insoles. This was problematic. The stock insole may have been just fine, but when I took them out, I found the glued portion of the insole wasn’t removed easily, and fragments of the glue and insole remained. I then found out the shoes were too snug with the new insoles, and the stock ones were ruined during extraction. I put in some cheaper, and thinner, insoles. After a couple of weeks I noticed the shoe had stretched out some, and were then able to accommodate the high quality FP insole. So, if they feel a little tight at first, they do get broken in after a short amount of time. Overall great shoe. Big fan. Shoes are verry fine. Only thing is the left lace is by far to long. more than 10 inch. I remember falling in love w/ Nike SB 6.0, which instantly became my favorite shoe..but shortly after they got discountinued. Ever since I couldn’t find anything like it, until éS..these shoes are comfortable, durable, stylish, and everything you could ask for. Glad to say éS brought back the nostalgia, and I highly doubt there’s anything better out there.. The shoes look stylish and appear to be well made. The tongue is fairly thin and I wish there were more heal cushioning...I am used to old school skate shoes though. Absolutely sleek yet comfortable feel. I highly recommend getting a .5 size bigger than what you normally wear if you haven't bought Accels before. But other than that it's a great pair to have in your collection! Amazing shoes. Super hyped for Tom Asta to have this colorway. Keep up the good work gentlemen. I only wear Accel slims now as these are smart enough for anything other than skating. Love them! This show is no exception to the comfort and durability ice grown to love about es.However this show has so many possibilities for style variations. For instance to add the air woke from the Koston 1s or the creager and call them the accel slim mid 1.5 . Or even if it is possible to mimick the heel from the axion Kareem or Kahali would be dope for all. Accel slims and call them the accel slim trainer. I recommend this because I have gnarly heel bruises and the sol technology implemented by es is one of the reasons I've always been happy with your products. My first above ankle cut shoe. Extremely comfy and stylish. Comfy and a bit more protected from ankle biters and cold mfs. The accel design is still one of the best designs in skateboarding, and this is a great take on them. Haven't skated them yet, looking forward to it. Comfortable. Flexible. Thin enough for board feel yet durable. Mids have good ankle and heel support. Personally, I should have got a half size smaller shoe than what I got. A little too much toe space than other shoes I own in this size. Not noticable trying on the shoes and walking around, but a little too much excess for flip tricks when skating. More of a trial and error on my part. I used to skate the OG accel back in the day but those were very padded. Haven't bought skate shoes for several years and wanted to try these first. I've already ordered 2 more pairs of es shoes (another mid slim accel, and swift 1.5). I find the style, quality, durability, and comfort meeting my high expectations for these shoes. Only complaint is interior heel logo rubs off in less than a day. Not that that matters. But, if you skate stairs or anything with very hard landings, you should consider adding insoles for these. Easily my favorite skate shoe ever. Been skating es shoes (mostly Accel) since the 90's and never knew I wanted mid top ones until I bought my first pair, never going back! Really great shoe! Very comfortable and fun! It's so cool to have some eS sneakers again! I have the white and gum in the low top and they are really comfortable too! Fun! The shoes fit to true size and the Safari print makes them stand out. Love these shoes.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T19:00:27", "url": "https://www.esskateboarding.com/uk/shop/footwear/accel-slim-mid-5101000147.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Published on January 19, 2012 February 27, 2012 by cara.b.b. i really do love reading, but my gusto for it is a bit cyclical. right now, i’m on a little kick and my list is long, so i hope to keep up the momentum and keep the nightly tradition of reading a permanent one. It’s a nice transition from a busy day into dream land. i’m usually into reading what i call mind candy – basically a fun little novel – but i’ve added a few ‘real’ books to the queue that i’ve heard some good things about. here’s what’s on my nightstand. 1. i just finished up the girl with the dragon tattoo last night. i thought it was really good, but it does have some pretty intense parts and ‘adult’ subject matter, if. ya. know. what. i. mean. there are two more books that follow it, and once jared is done with them, they’ll move from his nightstand to mine. 2. next up for me is in defense of food, which i’m pretty excited to read. i think the experience of having been pregnant and then wanting to start beckett off on the right foot nutritionally has made me so much more conscious of what goes into our bodies. if i’m making sure he has a good serving of veg at lunch and dinner, why am i not doing the same for myself? and other questions like that. 3. the hunger games – i just have to see what all the fuss is about, and i’ll read all three eventually. 4. the octopus and the orangutan: more true tales of animal intrigue, intelligence, and ingenuity – my dad was telling some stories from this book and it really peaked my interest. i’m always adding to my list, so if you have a recommendation pass it along! All three of the Larsson series are pretty intense, but good–I hear the American movie does a good job too, so hope to see it soon. I’ve read all three of the Hunger Games (not sure how, but this one is being made into movie as well)–and think you’ll find them fast reads and thought-provoking. I’ll pass along to you some that my book club does–now that college is over, you can do all the pleasure reading you want–plus it’s great modeling for the little guy! would love some of your book club reads, aunt debbie!! i would venture to say you will read the hunger games a lot faster than eventually! it’s an addicting series! can’t wait to see what you think about in defense of food. i’ve been waffling on that one for awhile now. thanks shanna! you’re right about in defense…it’s a slow start, but pretty darn interesting.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T20:30:49", "url": "https://chasingshinyobjects.com/2012/01/19/on-my-nightstand/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

This is the last summer before our daughter properly starts school. Last year we chose the independent school route, but the lengthy school holidays were a big cause for concern. How do people manage to hold down full-time jobs and cope with the childcare challenges? I was beginning to feel so thankful for nursery – an 8-6 wraparound care, for 51 weeks of the year. A safe home-from-home single environment where I knew my child was looked after and happy. (fingers regularly crossed for no sickness and enforced exclusion from nursery). During one of my many analyses as to whether we would actually, really be able to manage, I dropped a line to a lady who actively promotes women in the workplace. I shared with her my fears, my guilt at working full-time, my resentment at not having family close-by. I asked how people manage school holidays whilst holding down careers with only twenty five days annual leave. She spoke about the fact that when our daughter starts school I will start to make a network of school Mums and the management of the umpteen weeks of holidays will fall into place. At the end of the day, and through whatever means, we would get through the holidays. That was always a given, even if it meant downsizing the house and hiring a Nanny (never going to happen, but it was a solution). I just couldn’t see it. Our daughter started the attached pre-school last year and at one particular party I got talking to another Mum. A Mum who also worked full-time, whose partner is self-employed, a career-minded Mum who comes from a modest background and is, like me, putting her hard-earned money towards her only child’s education instead of the flash car and luxury holidays. Our daughters had made friends recently. Just before the school broke up for the summer, we met up, shared diaries and scheduled specific dates when we’d be able to have each other’s child. With the school holiday club weeks, two weeks leave, three days of Grandparent-daycare, a few days of Daddy-daycare and my new found childcare buddy my school holiday spreadsheet was filled! All the worry and anxiety about how on earth we were supposed to hold down our jobs when our daughter only goes to school for thirty-odd weeks of the year was pointless. Every year will be a logistical Krypton-Factor-esq challenge, the spreadsheet will always be required, but it will work and it isn’t half as bad as you think it will be. So if you’ve got your school holidays sorted to a tee, I high-five you. If you’re already thinking about how you’ll cope when you child starts school – Don’t Worry! Trust me, just take each year as it comes and you’ll soon find a school holiday routine that suits your family and maybe you’ll even find yourself meeting your own childcare buddy. I wanted to add ‘in the playground’, but realistically for us full-time working Mums, it is much more likely to be at the weekend birthday parties! Last night I had a eureka moment. Well, it wasn’t really me, but I received some advice that suddenly called into question one of my most important and as I see it desirable traits. I am in the main fiercely loyal. Both in my personal life and my working life. I will support, argue for and defend anyone who I am loyal to, and woe betide anyone who tries to cross me when I’m passionately fighting the corner. This particular post is centred around loyalty in the workplace. I work full-time for a company where I’ve known members of the board for many years. One person in particular head-hunted me for this role and is possibly the best leader you could ever have. He is supportive, he understands I have a young family, he is flexible, he trusts me and he is inspiring. It is for this reason that I have an unwavering loyalty towards him and I want to succeed in my role, and to help the business succeed. Whilst I work with an amazing leader, this is not a 2-man company. It is substantially larger. There are other members of the board and multiple colleagues and peers. Some of these people I work well with, and some I don’t. You can’t expect to get on with everyone. I have passion and drive, I feel I have a lot to add but this isn’t recognised and as a result, over the last year I have felt underwhelmed, undermined, under-utilised and upset. Now, as I’ve said, I’m very loyal. I left a previous job to move to this company to help my leader because I trust him and was excited about the challenge. I have been praised for my work and encouraged by my leader. However, this hasn’t been the case from others, which makes the leader’s praise almost worthless. I have been carrying on with the role, trying to articulate my frustrations, show initiative but with little progress. I continue because I am loyal. I do not want to let my leader down – he has faith in me and therefore I will strive to do well. But how long should someone put up with unhappiness? When my friend told me to leave after I had mentioned some of the incidents that had occurred, my immediate response was that I couldn’t. It is not because I was worried about finding another job, it was because I am loyal. I feel bound to support my leader as he has supported me over the years in different jobs and roles. I feel like I owe him. My career path is my own. I choose my destiny and I should remain in control. If I am respected as an individual and an employee then I should still be respected if the unhappiness continues and I choose to leave. It shouldn’t tarnish my integrity. Loyalty is a great trait to have, but only if it sits alongside happiness and a sense of worth. This goes for everything – career and home life. So, if you’re in a situation where you are loyal but you have nothing else backing it up, ask yourself something. If it isn’t, make a change. After a busy weekend, today I felt inspired to start going through my daughter’s clothes. This exercise happens every 6-12 months when I’m beginning to get fed up of rummaging past old outgrown pairs of knickers and odd socks for the new pack of vests I bought the other week. The only difference today was that I was also going through another secret stash in a old wardrobe, one that I hadn’t dare open for quite some time. It was whilst pulling out unused packs of nappies, nappy sacks and the baby bjorn that I suddenly felt a little sad. Not because of these items but because there, nestled away on a wardrobe shelf was my daughter’s pink snowsuit. We have pictures of her at 5 months lying in snow with a smile on her face, snuggly and warm with a fake-fur-lined hood and no hands and feet visible. She looked like Maggie from The Simpsons. I don’t just love that snowsuit, I miss it. I put it to one side, for some reason unable to throw it into the charity bag along with the umpteen baby gros, sleepsuits, a slightly stained cardigan and several pairs of pyjamas that had managed to escape the cull the last time round. It is items such as these that make you remember the really joyous times with a newborn. It isn’t that you have no photos of your beloved in these outfits, you have plenty on your phone, laptop, potentially a photobook, or framed and sitting pride of place on your parent’s mantelpiece – but holding the item is different. You realise that you’re unlikely to ever use it again. It came from a different stage of both our lives and that stage has been and gone. At the same time as I was going through the clothes, my daughter actually decided to try and put on one of the sleepsuits. It was funny to watch a four year old wrestle with the legs of a 9-12 month item of clothing and she gave up after a few minutes with two legs pulled up around her knees. I had to let her try. It snapped me out of my memories but I still couldn’t let go of a few more items that included a little dress that she wore to a first birthday party and a swimming costume bought by her late great-grandmother. These items are essentially useless to me and to my daughter. They can’t be worn or used and they are taking up precious space in our house, but emotionally I’m still attached. So for now I’ll find another place for them. They will be forgotten again until the next time I decide to declutter and I wonder what their destiny will be then. Do you have any specific items of clothing from your children that you can’t part with? Let me know. On Saturday morning as I was frantically rushing around trying to tidy up for our visiting guests, I started thinking about toys (as I vacuumed bits of kinetic sand out of the play kitchen hob). As our daughter is in nursery a lot of the time, I’ve always worried that she doesn’t have enough toys at home. At friends’ houses I assess their ‘toy’ area and try and work out if we have the right balance or not. I have some friends who seem to be able to have perfectly organised shelves with a pretty collage of board games and jigsaw puzzles, and a play kitchen with pans on each hob, a bucket of fruit and vegetables and some posh Melissa and Doug wooden sets. In contrast, all our daughter’s bigger and what I’d call ‘proper’ toys and games are interspersed with bits. Just little pieces of cr*p. Plastic binoculars from comic books, broken crayons, dried play-doh, a Happy Meal toy, a wooden peg jigsaw piece from a toy that she has totally grown out of – as well as teething keys. She’s almost 4! I’ve also found plenty of non-toy items. A proper saucepan and wooden spoon, some little pink candle holders, bits of toilet paper (probably from a mopped-up spillage), nursery drawings, some hair clips, a pair of gardening gloves, some beads, a bit of string, a paintbrush, some ToucanBox foam pieces. To my paranoid eye, the place is a mess. How can a child play when everything is chaos? I make an effort to put jigsaws and board games back in their box when we’ve played them – primarily because these are stored in the lounge. However, for everything else, I just leave it in the play area. The Great Little Trading Company play table that I bought – having seen one at one of the said organised friends’ houses looking splendid, is now littered with stuff. The play kitchen sink looks like it is full of dirty crocks and old food. You certainly wouldn’t get pictures of these in an Argos catalogue. However, despite the clutter, my daughter does play. In fact, she plays very imaginatively – because she has to, and because everything is fair game. She puts beads, broke crayon and kinetic sand in the grown-up saucepan and presents it to me as dinner. She uses the paintbrush to pretend she’s putting on lipstick and has used the candle holders as bottles for her baby. She is resourceful and finds things that are buried beneath the collection of tat that I wish I could just sweep together and throw in the bin. As a result, I feel justified in leaving the tat where it is. We have two main places where the playing takes place. The lounge, which tends to be for structured play, and the play area which is in the kitchen and is where our daughter will play unstructured when I’m making dinner. And you know what? I admit, I wish I tidied the play area up sometimes (or even got round to asking her to), but she never complains about the tools she has for her trade and until she actually says she’s fed up of the mess, I will keep that particular chore off my long list of things to do. Toys don’t need to be toys to be classified as toys. But I do hope that one day she will start playing in her bedroom – which is probably the tidiest room of the house! Posted on June 26, 2016 Author Amelia SalisburyLeave a comment on Toys! A nation of risk takers? Now, I consider myself a bit of a goody-two-shoes. I was reasonably well behaved as a child and whilst I went through the torrid teenage angst, I never ran away, have never really dabbled in drugs (other than alcohol and the odd pack of Marlboro Lights), and have never been in trouble with the law. The other day I saw an adult cycling along a country lane without a helmet and it got me thinking. Are we a nation of risk takers? As a parent to an almost 4-year old, rather than become even more risk adverse, I think maybe I am now even more of a dare-devil! But, you know what? Our family are doing just fine. We’re pretty happy and thankfully healthy and if a few risks and corner-cutting mean I can juggle motherhood, a career, a blogging hobby and a relationship then I’m high-fiving the dare-devil in me. Remember, nobody’s perfect. What little risks do you take that you always feel a little guilty about? Posted on June 15, 2016 June 16, 2016 Author Amelia Salisbury14 Comments on A nation of risk takers? So, last week we were cruising the Norwegian Fjords on a much needed break. Having spent the last few months glued to my laptop at work and my phone and macbook at home either blogging or browsing, this couldn’t have come at a better time. It is quite scary how much your persona changes when your technology is not only at your fingertips, it is permanently on your fingertips. As much as some of it is very enjoyable, what is it doing to the rest of your brain and body? For the bloggers on maternity leave, there are so many relentless non-IT chores to do, the ability to be permanently online is somewhat lessened. However, as I’ve found, when you return to office-based work and there are no more nappies to change, bottoms to wipe, or foods to mash, it is far easier to slouch on the sofa and do the same thing in the evening as you’ve done all day. On holiday it was a different matter. There was no signal for large periods of time and the data roaming charges were extortionate. Needless to say my phone was on airplane mode for the majority. It was the best thing that could have happened. My other half and I actually spoke to eachother. I’m talking proper conversations and eye contact! I slowed down – the brain took in the environment around me rather than the electronic screen. I slept better – ok, the cocktails and the rich food probably contributed, but it was a relaxed progression into sleep rather than a 30 minute facebook and twitter scroll and a 10 minute read of my book. The focus was on the here and now and my life and my family, rather than reading and worrying about everything else going in other people’s lives – it was about time I put ourselves first. Our daughter had our attention and eye contact, there was no “yeah, in a minute”, “uh-huh”-ing that both myself and my OH are guilty of doing when we’re browsing aimlessly as if looking for an alternative situation to the one we’re in. Now I’m home, I’m revitalised. I feel more positive that I have in weeks and feel like I can take any work-related struggles or confidence blips in my stride. Being forced into a digital detox was the only way to get me to stand still and live my life rather than obsess over other people’s. Try a digital detox once in a while, you never know where it might take you on your career or your blogging journey.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-26T03:48:32", "url": "http://paranoidworkingparent.co.uk/category/uncategorized", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
we allow you to edit permissions for each sub-user. To add sub-users to your account, go to the system menu in the upper right corner and click on the down arrow to show the drop down menu for SETTINGS. Click on the Invite A New User button to display the Send Invitation box. Enter the First Name, Last Name and Email Address of the user to be added. NOTE: Repeat steps 1-3 for each sub-user you need added to your system. Once the invitation has been sent, have the sub-user check their email and follow the link to finish the setup process. It will allow them to assign their own password for accessing the system in the future using their own email address and the password they supply. By Default all sub-users have very basic access - they can READ, CREATE, UPDATE and DELETE their own records in the database. To allow the sub-user to have more rights, simply locate the sub-user's name in the Users & Permissions section and click on the "Click here to view security permissions" link. If this user needs access to SEE all data in all sections for all users then simply place a check in the "For all users" access checkbox in the READ access row. If this user also needs the ability to update data of other users then do the same for the UPDATE access row. Finally if the user also needs the ability to delete data then place the check in the DELETE access row. Some users may need to be able to see records but not update or delete while other users need full access to everything. You will notice that the first column says "All Sections" - you can leave the "For all users" checkboxes blank and only give the user full access to specific sections like "Contact", "Property", "Transaction", "Workflow", "Template", "Tasks" which is calendar, "Documents", "Notes". To do this click on the "Add New" button above the table and the system will add a new row to the table... Select the section you want the sub-user to have access to and then the specific access right "Read","Create","Update","Delete" and if desired for all users or not using the "For all users" Click on "Add New" , choose Type: "Workflow", Access: "Read", check "For all users" Click on "Add New" , choose Type: "Workflow", Access: "Create", check "For all users" Click on "Add New" , choose Type: "Workflow", Access: "Update", check "For all users" Click on "Save Permissions" to save the changes to the table. Now the sub-user will have the rights to Read, Create, Update workflows for all users but will not have the right to delete their workflows. NOTE: One key point when dealing with sub-users and rights to Properties and Transactions. If you do not give your sub-users rights to your properties and transactions but need them to have access to specific addresses then simply assign an Activity to the sub-user connected to that property. This will automatically give the sub-user access to the address since they were granted privileges to the activity. Additional rights for Google Sync, Import and Export have to be given individually, simply use the check the boxes which are needed. None of this showed up in settings????? Why is your crm so difficult and confusing???? Hello Ann, if you are not seeing these options this it is because the Main Account Owner has not given you rights to setup security as an Admin. You can just skip to Day 3 where we show how to Add contacts. I am setting up Donna Elder's Realvolve. I have added my name, Mary Kittinger, as a user with permissions to do everything (Assistant). I sent an email invitation, but never received it. Also sent again today....still no email. Am I doing something wrong? We've had some issues with our email service the last couple days. Please delete that invitation and do it over and see if that works OK? Question...is this the right way to set me up as an assistant? Will I be able to see Donna's things to do, appt's? Is there a way to block Primary user's commission totals from the dashboard that assistant's use? Curt - The person logged in can see their own numbers in the widgets but they do not see anyone elses. I am not seeing the "Click here to view security permissions" link in the Users and Permissions section. Also, I second Curt's idea that the admin should have access to the same widgets as the agent. That's because you have selected "Makes as Admin". That gives them all permissions so there is no need for the selection menu. My admin has 200 contacts less than I do in her side of the database. I would like the information to be exactly the same, how can I achieve this? Hi Gary. To build on Curt Buchanan's question - I run the team but the database is owned by my partner. It is essential that both of us see the numbers on the widgets for the entire team. How can I set that up? Hi Sarah - currently that can not be done but it is in the works. Only the person who is logged in sees the transactions for which they are labeled as the agent in the People tab reflected in the Widgets. Thanks Gary. Does the owner of the account see everything? If so, can there be co-owners? The owner is no different. Only the person who is logged in sees the transactions for which they are labeled as the agent in the People tab reflected in the Widgets. Interesting. Is there any creative work around with this? Can we assign multiple people to own the contact so that is shows up for each of them? As a team owner, how do I use this system for accountability and long range planning? I need to be able to see the entire picture, not just pieces of it. Understood. that's why we're working hard to provide it. There are no work-arounds other than logging in as the other people to see their numbers. I need to edit the email address of the user. i went into the contact for him, and changed the email address there, but when I went to resend the invitation, it still showed the incorrect email address for him. How do I edit the email address for a user? Hi Steve - If I understand your question correctly, and you want to delete Mike Wetherbee, just hover over it and click on the X to the right. If you have not added any information related to him, then don't worry about the Warning Message. Just Delete, not Transfer. Hello Gary, Thank you.. why is it that if you add the email it is always invalid but still Mike received the invitation and when he clicked it, it is still invalid. What would we do? How do I change the last name of one of my agents that got married? I can't seem to see a way to edit a user. I want her transactions to stay attached to her, just want to change her name.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T03:22:31", "url": "https://help.realvolve.com/hc/en-us/articles/204802105-OnBoard-Day-02-User-Permissions-Inviting-a-New-User-", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The Pedometrics Commission of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) has decided to award a medal for the best body of work that has advanced pedometrics (the subject) in the period between consecutive IUSS World Congresses, i.e. over a period of four years. However, achievements before that period will also form part of the evaluation (see more detail below). The award will be made at each meeting of the IUSS World Congress. It was suggested that this award should be called the Richard Webster Medal. The Pedometrics Committee on Prizes and Awards was established in 2006 and it comprises a chairman and three other members. The committee members shall preside over two awards. On retirement of the Chairman of the Pedometrics Committee on Prizes and Awards, the existing Chairman will recommend one of the existing committee members to the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Pedometrics Commission for the appointment to be made. Proposals for two new members of the Committee can be made by the existing committee members and the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Pedometrics Commission. If a vote is necessary, that of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Pedometrics Commission will count as a single vote. The rules of the IUSS established for the Richard Webster Medal can be seen in full at http://www.iuss.org/index.php?article_id=173, but key extracts are below. In accordance with these rules, the Pedometrics Committee on Prizes and Awards (‘the Committee’) invites nominations for the Richard Webster Medal, to be awarded at the next World Congress of Soil Science. T’he Committee will examine the nominations and decide to whom the medal should be awarded. If you wish to nominate a colleague for the Richard Webster medal, then please examine the rules, and forward your nomination to the Chairman of the Committee at the email address given above no later than 30th May 2010. (e) and service to pedometrics (e.g. by serving on a committee of the Pedometrics Commission or promoting pedometrics to the IUSS). 2) A nominee should be a member of the IUSS at the time of the nomination and have been involved in activities associated with pedometrics, in particular. 3) The nominee must be living at the time of the selection; retired pedometricians still active in pedometrics research will be eligible for the award. The nominee should be willing to receive the medal at the time and place designated by the IUSS World Congress, and be a keynote speaker at the next conference of the Pedometrics Commission (held biennially) following the presentation of the medal. Members of the Awards and Prizes Committee shall be ineligible to receive the medal while serving on the Committee. 4) The award of the Richard Webster Medal shall not be presented to any one individual more than once. 1) Nominations for the Richard Webster Medal should be made by a colleague or colleagues who know the person’s work well. The nomination should include a résumé and a short statement (a maximum of 750 words) summarizing the relevant qualifications of the nominee with respect to the conditions outlined in the section, requirements and eligibility, above. vi. and leadership and management of research projects.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T20:07:25", "url": "http://pedometrics.org/?p=258", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Robertet, for the 3rd year, will be present at BWME from 14th to 16th May 2017. After discovering our Parisian creative center last year, let’s enter our New-York creative center. The menu : a loft atmosphere, artists’ studio, olfactive discovery through several collections, from very classical to more niche, pure and oriental. The Middle-East market is amazingly rich and creative. Robertet develops high quality fragrances with a dedicated team of perfumers, constantly searching for new inspirations.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T14:51:28", "url": "https://www.robertet.com/en/beauty-world-middle-east/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
The catch phrase for the New Year seems to be “come alive in 2005.” When I look back at 2004, that phrase takes on a little different meaning. 2003 was to many in our industry a near death experience, with 2004 allowing most to regain health. 2005 looks like it will help to return most farms to vibrancy. I wonder how much of this optimistic future we can attribute to CWT. I still believe that the greatest benefit of CWT is that it has provided an avenue for our industry to agree on something. “Less government in business and more business in government.” A quote from Warren G. Harding applies to what has come about through CWT. We as an industry have and are attempting to take care of our own business. Along with the new year also come new challenges. Our state is now one of many who have producers faced with intent to sue notices. Most of us, again like many states, are battling wetter than normal conditions and the legislature reconvenes within days. Over the holidays our family spent a few days in Washington, D.C. We had the privilege to tour the White House. We are grateful to Congressman Steve Pearce for his help in getting us a tour. While inside we came across a portrait of President Taft. Most of you probably know that he was a rather large man, and how it is reported that at one time he was stuck in the tub so they now have an oversized tub in the White House. He once became uncomfortable at a baseball game and when he stood to stretch it was assumed he was leaving, with the game pausing out of respect. However, when Taft had moved around a bit and was again comfortable he returned to his seat and thus the baseball 7th inning stretch. I share these tidbits of information about President Taft because although history has not presented him as all that popular of a president, he said the following which I think greatly fits with our current times. “Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution and the one which, united with that of personal liberty, has contributed more to the growth of civilization than any other institution established by the human race.” As we deal with increasing public pressure about such issues as water, animal rights, and the environment we must remember that we do have rights but we must also be aware of the rights of others. May you have a safe and blessed New Year.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T10:51:47", "url": "http://nmdairy.org/PresLetJan05.htm", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

[JURIST] In Tuesday's environmental law news, an Indonesian court heard arguments Tuesday on whether it should proceed with a criminal trial of US-based Newmont Mining Corp. [corporate website] for alleged pollution in Buyat Bay. The hearing had been postponed in August when the country's Supreme Court ordered two of the judges back to Jakarta for training on environmental law, not, contrary to earlier information, because they were being replaced [JURIST report]. After hearing prosecution arguments, presiding Judge Ridwan Damanik adjourned the case until September 20, when the court will make its ruling. Reuters has more. The Bangladesh government [official website] has announced that all government, semi-government and autonomous organizations will have Friday and Saturday off beginning September 9. Currently, Bangladeshi workers work six day weeks. The move to a five day work week is done in part to cut back on fuel consumption. Critics of the new ruling are hoping to change the weekend to Saturday and Sunday, inline with the practice of most other countries. Reuters has more. The US Minerals Management Service (MMS) [official website] seeks comments on a proposed rule [text] that would require companies with federal oil and gas leases in the outer continental shelf to provide information on how they will meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) [text] and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) [text]. This additional informtion would be submitted along with the plans for exploration, development and production of the area.

They are flavorless, expensive, and only local if you define "local" as - "on the same continent". They might be red but they aren't even really ripe. They just have been exposed to ethylene (C2H4). That reddens the skin but it isn't going to ripen the insides much, if at all. One of my favorite blogs, hilarious content. Check Russ out. But there is a way that you can concentrate the flavor that they do have and enhance them with additional flavor. Fire roasting. And that is what I did tonight because I couldn't bear using weak winter tomatoes in the dinner I was making. Most people fire roast tomatoes over direct flame, but I don't. I think that doing them indirect does a better job of concentrating the flavor. Here is the process I use, it's a variation of Wolfgang Puck's Oven Dried Tomatoes from his book Live, Love Eat! . I use fire instead, raise the cooking temp, and do a few slight adjustments. You could do the same thing using your oven. Fire up your grill for an indirect heat set up at 300f. If using a pizza stone, have it in there preheating. If using a baking sheet, you'll put it in later. Score a 1" x across the top of each tomato. It only has to be deep enough to go all the way through the skin. Blanche the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute and then shock them by submerging them in an ice bath. Let them sit for a few minutes. Cut out the core end of each tomato with a sharp paring knife. Peel the skins off of the tomato and discard them. Cut each tomato into wedges. I cut romas in fourths, larger tomatoes in sixths. Cut out the seeds and discard. Place the cleaned wedges on parchment paper on a baking pan (or in my case, on parchment paper on a pizza peel used to transfer them to the grill). Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle them with the garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and sugar. Place in the 300f grill and cook for 1 hour with the lid closed. When they come out, you may have a few black spots but that is fine. Let them cool and then place them in a glass bowl. Top the bowl off with the rest of the olive oil (as much as needed to cover) and seal tightly. They will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator. These are great on pizza, in rice dishes, or just about anything you might want to use a tomato for. Don't forget you can still get a free bottle with each order you place between now and whatever date I put in this link here (I'm too lazy to look it up right now!). Just include "Nibble Me This" in the comments section of the order form and Chef Wayne will hook you up.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T22:08:08", "url": "https://www.nibblemethis.com/2011/02/tip-how-to-fire-roast-tomatoes.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
The Return of the Vikings! On 8 April the Jorvik Viking Centre will reopen in York’s Coppergate. Forced to close at the end of 2015 because of the York floods, a multi-million pound investment and continued archaeological work sees new finds and new attractions on display. The Centre owes its origins to the building of the Coppergate Shopping Centre in 1976. When the archaeologists were invited onto the site of the build they discovered a wealth of buried finds – in an area of 1000 square metres there were around 40,000 archaeological areas of interest that threw new light on the Viking conquest and settlement of York. The moist, peaty layers of York soil had preserved an unprecedented amount of organic material including timber, leather and fabric, as well as 5 tonnes of animal bones and over a quarter of a million fragments of pottery! York was captured by the Vikings in 886 who called in Jorvik. Under their rule the city became a major river port, part of the extensive Viking trading routes throughout northern Europe. The last ruler of an independent Jórvík, the wonderfully named Eric Bloodaxe, was driven out in 954 and the city became part of the anglo-saxon kingdom. In 1984 Jorvik Viking Centre opened to showcase these finds and tell the story of the Vikings in York and the British Isles. The streets and dwellings of Coppergate were reconstructed as they would have been in October 948, and visitors could ride underground in ‘time travel cars’, allowing them to eavesdrop, see and even smell the Viking streets. As more and more finds were unearthed and more was discovered about the Viking’s lives in Jorvik the Centre developed and expanded. This included (in 1990) the facial reconstruction of a Viking skull found in Fishergate, allowing visitors to come face to face with an actual Viking, Eymund the Fisherman. Visitors will still find the famous time-travel ride in the reopened Centre and there are new animatronic figures and completely rebuilt parts of Jorvik streets so that you can experience the Viking city like never before.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T20:33:38", "url": "https://britainsbestguides.org/blogs/the-return-of-the-vikings/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Last month I shared a handful of tips, tools, and strategies for getting more ROI from content marketing as a real estate agent. It’s a great article for anyone who has been regularly blogging and experimenting with content marketing, but it’s not an ideal resource if you’re just getting started. If you’re new to content marketing and blogging, your biggest challenge will likely be coming up with new blog ideas every week. When it comes to content marketing, consistency is key. It’s really the only way you’ll ever be able to build an audience, boost your reputation, and get any sort of ROI from your efforts. To be consistent, you have to publish content on a regular basis—daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever cadence is most realistic for you. When you choose to invest in content marketing, you have to go all in. You can’t be inconsistent and you can’t put blogging on the back-burner when things get busy. The easiest way to ensure that you’re consistently blogging day after day, week after week, and month after month is to spend time regularly coming up with and storing more blog post ideas than you need. For a lot of people, this is easier said than done. When you’re new to content marketing, the idea of coming up with an endless amount of ideas for blog posts can be intimidating!

Since my dark texture "Woodsmoke" was so popular, I thought I'd create another dark one, this one with some warmer tones. I captured this photo of a doe peering at me from within the dark cover of the woods, and because I was shooting with a 500mm from my car, and she was right beside the road, there was no way I could even get her whole head in the photo. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this picture...and when I finished Today's Daily Texture, I knew! I used the texture as a background, masking away her original background in Topaz PhotoFXLab. Then I duplicated the texture layer twice, placing both on top. The first layer was set to multiply at 30% and the second was set to soft light at 60%. This gave her a bit more drama. After merging, I brightened up just the highlight in her eye to bring the viewer's focus to that area of the final image. Like this texture? Buy it here. Commercial Use OK.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T10:45:29", "url": "https://www.dailytexture.com/blog/12042015-december-moon", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

A man was wounded in a shooting late Thursday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side. The 19-year-old was standing on a sidewalk about 11:45 p.m. in the 800 block of North Springfield when he heard shots and felt pain, according to Chicago Police. He was taken to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left leg, police said. His condition was stabilized.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T00:55:22", "url": "https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/man-shot-in-humboldt-park-38/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
The grower-owners of Michigan Sugar Co. started delivery of sugar beets to factories at Bay City, Caro, Croswell and Sebewaing today. Approximately 162,000 acres of sugar beets will be trucked to Michigan Sugar Co. factories and receiving stations during the next six weeks. Three pre-harvest samples taken two weeks apart in August indicate yields may not be record setting, but are promising and estimated at 24.5 tons to the acre. Despite delayed planting in the spring due to wet conditions and a dry spell in the summer in most growing areas, the sampling indicates Michigan Sugar should process abour four million tons of sugarbeets from mid-September to March 1. The mid-September startup, referred to as "early delivery," is a period in which the crop is received on a limited basis and processed within about six days. Growers will be paid an early delivery premium on a prorated basis until full harvest begins around the middle of October. Long-term pile storage and unlimited delivery will not begin until cooler weather allows sugar beets to be piled at temperatures that are conducive to minimal pile loss for a processing campaign that can run as long as 180 days.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T15:23:38", "url": "https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Harvest-starts-at-Michigan-Sugar-6962904.php", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
In end stage renal disease (ESRD exploration of the Quality of life (QOL) is an important treatment modulator. This study evaluates the correlation between factors for a decreased quality of life and proposes serum cystatinC as an alternative marker. Methods: Our study included 52 maintenance HD patients. Quality of life of these patients was assessed using Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL-SFTM1.3). Clinical, laboratory and socio-demographic variables were investigated. Mean scores were compared for individual domain scores and for the three composite summary scores, namely the mental component summary (MCS), the physical component summary (PCS) and kidney disease component summary (KDCS). Results: Our study concludes with the overall mean score for QOL was 52.98. Where domains with very low scores were ‘burden of kidney disease’, ‘work statuses’, ‘role limitations-physical’, ‘general health’ and ‘role limitations-emotional’. Beside that domains with very high scores were ‘dialysis staff encouragement’, ‘social support’ and ‘quality of social interaction’. The mean scores for KDCS, MCS and PCS were 59.6, 41.4and 35.6 respectively. There was a positive correlation between KDCS and MCS (r= 0.425, P= 0.002); and between KDCS and PCS (r=0.388, P=0.004). Positive correlation was also evaluated between time on HD and KDCS and negative correlation between age and CystatinC on KDCS, age and Calcium on MCS, and between Hemoglobin and PCS respectively. Conclusion: There is a correlation between socio-demographic, clinical and laboratory factors for a decreased quality of life in this population. Beside the traditional biochemical markers we propose serum cystatinC as an alternative option for renal function estimation and evaluation of QOL in CKD patients. The possible factors related to QOL were: age, time on HD, employment status, education level, BMI, albumin, serum hemoglobin, serum calcium, serum phosphorous, serum cystatinC, serum uric acid levels. Key words: End Stage Renal Disease, Quality of life, Hemodialysis, KDQOL instrument, Maintenance hemodialysis, Quality of life in ESRD.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T18:16:37", "url": "http://whitesscience.com/product/clinical-evaluation-of-the-quality-of-life-of-hemodialysis-patients/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
I collaged and wrote this plum near two years ago, slightly inspired by Apple products, which I love. Yes, I do pet. There’s a world I’ve seen in my head, one I’m sure others have seen in their own way, in which shrunken men are sold and bought as merchandise; nothing more than chattel that passes from hand to hand, if it ever lives long enough, that is. Bred for different purposes, some to please, eliminate nuisance tasks, take care of repetitive ones, or simply as what we normal-sized people think are mindless pets … but are they? And Watermelon mass produces him in different colors and models. In this alternate universe I refuse to purchase one, at least in the beginning, but after all those years of seeing the advertisements, I finally get one. I just want to protect him, you see? I figure that giving in to capitalism will at least afford me the chance to rescue one little man at a time. Sure, for quite some time I thought they were too expensive, a luxury item that lined no pocket of mine, accomplished nothing I could not do on my own … but in the back of my mind there was always a little voice that whispered possibilities, so here I am, holding one in my arms, and… it’s really working for me. I haven’t named him yet, but soon will come up with something better than what’s written on the box. I’m pleased to see all the accessories that arrived with him! Aside from the increased memory capacity, he comes with a megaphone (it increases his volume so I may hear–and understand–him better), a lovely leash that I can order in various colors, a moisture-proof cover, an owner’s manual, and an accessory catalog. What an exciting little thing! He stores (I think I have a broken one, as he exhibits clear signs of spirit and backbone: he wants me to say “remember” instead of “store”) a marvelous amount of songs and jokes, can play games, and is constantly downloading (another word he doesn’t like—he prefers “learning”) new material from immediate surroundings. I haven’t let go of mine for one second since I took it out of the box, and take him everywhere with me. As one of the good (and humble, and righteous) people of this world that struggles to help others understand that simply because a man is of small size it does not mean his value is diminished, I find it ironic that I should purchase one when they go on sale. Well, I likes me a good savings. Besides, he will have no complaints, and aside from a bit of training, he will have no duties besides keeping me blissfully happy, and will suffer no hardships other than my temper. And the occasional Lego dungeon. Because someone has to teach him that leaving cookie crumbs in my shoe is not acceptable. Alas, back to reality. I found the silhouette of the woman online somewhere, and because she was wearing a ridiculous pair of badly edited pumps and her hands had not adopted a very interactive pose, I changed those so she would look as shown above. The rest was added later to obtain the final product of something I love to do: plagiarize grab a piece of something real, and transform it into something that belongs in my world. I love this post so very much. And before I get tentacled across my little face…I also wish to state to my Undersquid how EVERY one of your posts just makes my heart pound and my blood race with excitement. Yes, excitement! Why you ask? Because of the way I feel about you and the enormous pride I have of you, your spirit, your mind, your amazing heart, your creative talents, both writing and artistic and your colossal bottomless imagination. Never in my life have I felt so euphoric and such pound in my heart. You give that all to me and I am blessed with having you and your gift of giving back to me. Only you know, from our private conversations…how I smile of being your iPet. And it’s more than smile, as you know. A so very beautiful, wonderful post this is…and so nice to have reposted for us. Thank you my giant Undersquid…for being so thoughtful to share this again. Your very little squid who is wrapping his tiny tentacles around just the tip of one of yours to hug you! Well, I mentioned this to you already, but I feel I should say something here as well, and since this is my blog and I get to do whatever I want in it: Thank you, littlesquid! For the comment and for what you express in it. And I’ve never tentacled you across the face. I have also shared with you how much I enjoy my own imagination, in particular the “movie reel” that plays a story of oppression for little shrunken men who are nothing but toys for My Kind, and the way one of those toys finds his way to a woman’s heart, and bed. I’d forgotten about this funny comment, and why I approved it. Probably because it made me laugh. Your level of understanding about things to which I refer in this blog: 0%. Well done, and thanks for still making me smile after five years.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-21T09:02:50", "url": "https://undersquid.blog/2008/08/14/ipet/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Microsoft announced today that companies like Qualcomm are creating reference designs to encourage hardware makers to integrate AI assistant Cortana into more devices. At the Consumer Electronics Show on Monday, Qualcomm also announced plans to make Cortana part of its Smart Audio platform. The Qualcomm Smart Audio Platform with Cortana integration is scheduled to be available to device makers in the first half of 2018, according to a release from Qualcomm. Joining Microsoft’s Cortana partner program are Synaptics, Allwinner, and Tomly. Each program participant is creating reference designs for manufacturers to incorporate Cortana into things like mesh networks and smart home devices. The Cortana Device SDK was first made available in private preview in December 2016. Last week, Johnson Controls announced plans to release a transparent thermostat with Cortana built-in. In addition to reference designs, Microsoft today announced that Cortana is able to work with devices from popular brands such as Honeywell, Ecobee, LIFX, and TP-Link Kasa to power things like smart lightbulbs, thermostats, and plugs. Cortana may have tech giant Microsoft behind it, but AI assistants from other tech brands have thus far grabbed the spotlight at this year’s CES. Fulfilling a commitment made by Samsung last fall, Bixby is coming to Smart TVs and Family Hub refrigerators this year. Bixby will also be incorporated into Harman International’s 5G-connected car platform. Together with partners like JBL and Sony, Google yesterday brought its Assistant to smart speakers with a visual display and made Google Assistant central to the Android Auto experience. And smart speaker leader Alexa has been integrated into a number of devices — from kitchen appliances and wireless headphones to vehicle dashboards and augmented reality glasses.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T12:35:09", "url": "https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/09/microsoft-and-qualcomm-partner-to-boost-cortana-adoption/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Scuba diving is a popular activity from Brighton Marina. From novice diver to technical diver there is a dive site to suit everybody. Defiance is fitted with a diving lift to make getting out of the water as easy as possible. The Sussex coast is probably best known for the large number of wrecks. Most of these are victims of the world wars. These wrecks offer a wide variety of interest to the scuba diver. Some like to research history and attempt to discover the identity of the wreck from the smallest clues, whilst others look for artifacts to keep. Regardless of the history, marine life congregate around a wreck for the biologists, photographers and hunters. Away from the wrecks the Sussex coast features chalk cliffs and gulleys underwater. This environment is extremely rare in Europe and is of particular interest to those studying the unique marine biodiversity. This habitat has been identified for special protection when the marine conservation zones are finally recognised by the government. In the meantime research by Seasearch Sussex, Natural England and others to gather more information about this environment continues. Included in the gallery are photographs taken by the skipper for Natutral England.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T02:34:49", "url": "http://brightonboat.co.uk/scuba-diving/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
This article presents three versions of a novel MAC protocol for IEEE 802.11 ad-hoc networks called Busy Signal-based Mechanism turned On (BusySiMOn) (This is an extended version of our conference paper: ). The key idea of the proposed solution is based on an intelligent two-step reservation procedure combined with the advantages of EDCA service differentiation. The former alleviates the hidden node problem while the latter ensures compatibility with the IEEE 802.11 standard. Simulation results obtained for saturated and non-saturated network conditions emphasize the advantages of the new protocol over the currently used four-way handshake mechanism in terms of fairness, throughput, and average frame delay.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T02:19:01", "url": "https://new.kt.agh.edu.pl/en/node/608", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Are There Any Self-Publishing Rules To Follow? No. The Self-Publishing Rules – Are There Any Rules? So, what are the self-publishing rules? Self-publishing is the buzzword nowadays. When I look at the contacts I have on the various social media platforms I use; one could be led to believe that half the world are now aspiring, budding or indeed self-publishing authors. With so many books being published by so many authors each and every day, I thought it might be about time that I set about explaining the golden self-publishing rules. Golden Self-Publishing Rules – Number 1. There are no rules. Golden Self-Publishing Rules – Number 2. Refer to Golden Self-Publishing Rules – Number 1. This may sound a little like anarchy and in a way it is. Yes, there are terms and conditions to read and understand on every self-publishing platform, but after you comply with these, you are on your own. Just you and your book. The next step is to find some readers. Here again, you are on your own making all the decisions and doing all the hard grunt in promoting your book in literally an ocean full of books. While for most self-published authors, writing is a hobby, sideline or part-time occupation, in the end, you do want to make a side income from all your hard work. So yes you need to get to work on social media, websites, blogs, forums, contacting book reviewers and book bloggers and discovering all the other promotional tools that are readily available and work at getting some attention. And sales. But here’s a tip. Don’t stop writing. Sure, you have a lot of promotional work to do. However, the key to making an income from self-publishing is to have a backlist. In other words, a bundle of titles that will keep selling long after you have published them. I see a lot of self-published authors flogging their one and only book day in and day out. One book may make some money, but only if you’re lucky. The better approach is to start writing your next book before you have even published your first. The reason? Because the more you write, the better you get. So the chances are that your second book may do a lot better than your first. And your third and fourth. It is logical that the more titles you have, the more books you will sell. The books I have published are now on what I call set and forget. Yes, I still do a bit of promotion, but my main focus is on the book I’m writing at present and also, working on the outline for the book to follow that one. At the same time, I published a new novella only a month or so ago and completed a new edition of one of my older books that needed updating. And while this has been happening, my backlist has been providing my income. So while there may be no golden self-publishing rules, it is true to say that you certainly won’t ever sell books you haven’t started writing yet. Thanx for sharing this informative article about rules of Self Publication. Good work keeps it up.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T20:16:31", "url": "https://justpublishingadvice.com/the-self-publishing-rules/?replytocom=15648", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Colorado-2: Joe Neguse won the June 26 Democratic primary with 66 percent of the vote for the Boulder and Fort Collins-area seat of Rep. Jared Polis, who is the Democratic nominee for governor. Neguse is the son of refugees from the African nation of Eritrea, and would be the first African-American from Colorado to serve in Congress. He defeated Mark Williams, a former Air Force pilot who later became a tech-industry executive. Mississippi-3: Michael Guest won 65 percent of the vote in the June 26 Republican run-off for the Jackson-area and south-central Mississippi seat. He will replace Republican Rep. Gregg Harper, the House Administration Committee chairman, who is retiring. Although he was forced to a second run of voting, Guest had a relatively easy ride, with a two-to-one lead over businessman Whit Hughes in the first round of voting. Guest, a veteran local official, was widely supported by Mississippi’s Republican establishment, including Gov. Phil Bryant. New York-14: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the unexpected winner with 57 percent of the vote in the June 26 primary for the district, which includes many Hispanic neighborhoods in Bronx and Queens. She defeated 10-term Rep. Joe Crowley, who chairs the Queens Democratic Party and has chaired the House Democratic Caucus; he had become a potential successor to the party’s top leaders in the House. Ocasio-Cortez identified herself as more closely connected to the local communities and ran an active social-media campaign. New York-25: Joe Morelle won the Democratic primary on June 26 for the Rochester-area seat of 16-term Rep. Louise Slaughter, who died in March. Morelle got 45 percent of the vote against three opponents, who split support from progressive groups. As a 28-year veteran of the state Assembly, where he has served as Majority Leader since 2013, Morelle’s lengthy political experience is unusual among next January’s likely Democratic newcomers to Congress. South Carolina-4: William Timmons won the Republican run-off on June 26 with 54 percent of the vote in the Upstate district that covers the Greenville-Spartanburg area. He will replace retiring Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Former State Sen. Lee Bright led the initial contest two weeks earlier with 25 percent in the 13-candidate field to 19 percent for Timmons. But Timmons prevailed in the final showdown between competing wings of the GOP, in which he and his allies attacked Bright as out of the political mainstream. *These profiles were prepared with the assistance of biographical and campaign information from Ballotpedia, the Encyclopedia of American Politics. The following candidates from New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia and New Mexico have won congressional primaries this year in districts where their party is largely in control. These party nominees almost certainly will win election in November and become House Members in the 116th Congress, which will convene in January 2019. Additional names will be added to the list following primaries in other states, which will extend until September. These bios are an initial version of the profiles that will appear in the 2020 Almanac of American Politics, which will be published by Columbia Books. Jeff Van Drew won the Democratic nomination on June 5 with 55 percent of the vote against three more liberal candidates who split the remaining vote. A veteran state senator, he is the strong favorite to replace Republican Rep. Frank LoBiondo, who is retiring after 12 terms in the district that extends from the Philadelphia suburbs to Atlantic City. Despite his conservative views on issues such as gay rights and gun control, Van Drew was endorsed by local and national party leaders as the most likely Democrat to flip control of the seat. Debra Haaland won the June 5 Democratic primary with 41 percent of the vote in the Albuquerque-based seat of Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who is the Democratic nominee for governor in November. Damon Martinez, a former congressional aide and the local U.S. Attorney for two years during the Obama Administration, was runner-up with 26 percent in the six-candidate contest. Haaland, a tribal activist, would be the first Native American woman elected to Congress. Kelly Armstrong won the Republican primary for North Dakota’s at-large District. He got 56 percent of the vote against three other candidates and is well-positioned to replace Rep. Kevin Cramer, who is the Republican nominee to oppose Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in November. Armstrong, a state senator and former chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party, has been a close ally of the state’s governor, Doug Burgum. Dusty Johnson comfortably won the June 5 Republican primary for South Dakota’s at-large House seat, with 47 percent of the vote. Secretary of State Shantel Krebs finished second with 29 percent. Johnson’s campaign took a relatively pragmatic approach, in which he emphasized his own experience as a veteran public official—both in elected and appointed office. Compared to most other Republican congressional candidates this year, in his home state and elsewhere, Johnson has kept some distance from President Donald Trump, especially his rhetoric. Ben Cline became the Republican nominee after he won the May 19 convention of 6th District Republicans, which virtually assured him of election in the Shenandoah Valley area of western Virginia. Cline has served eight terms in the state House of Delegates, where he has been a conservative leader. Having served as chief of staff to Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the House Judiciary Committee chairman who is retiring from Congress, Cline is in line to become his successor. On Monday, May 7th, Equifax submitted Equifax’s Statement for the Record Regarding the Extent of the Cybersecurity Incident Announced on September 7th, 2017 to the Securities and Exchange Commission. They divulged that names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and some drivers license numbers, were all publicly exposed impacting almost 150 million people during their consumer data breach last year. This enormous attack is not the first, nor the biggest data theft we’ve seen in the 21st century, and unfortunately, it will not be the last. Companies such as Yahoo, eBay, and Target have all been victims of cybersecurity attacks within the last 5 years. Leaving many of us to wonder, if billion-dollar organizations who can pay for the best security in the world, are not safe, who is? Two types of cybersecurity attacks being seen at the corporate level are phishing and ransomware. Phishing is the practice of trying to obtain personal information using false or deceptive emails and websites. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that, upon gaining access and taking over your computer, threatens you, usually by denying access to your own data. The attacker will then demand a ransom from the victim to restore access once payment is received. In Knowbe4’s white paper they assure that “There are a variety of best practices that organizations should follow in order to minimize their potential for becoming victims of phishing and ransomware.” And many of them are simple, easily obtainable, and something that every association can implement. First and foremost, associations need to understand the risks they face. “Decision makers must understand that they face threats across all of their communication and collaboration systems.” Being knowledgeable on these issues will assist in leading to cyber-attack prevention and minimizing security risks. They also signify the importance of developing detailed policies when it comes to email, website, social media and other digital tools and keeping all systems up to date. Make sure your organizations have backups on all data. Not only is this good business practice, but it creates a safety net when recovering from a ransomware attack, for a quick bounce back. A large focus for organizations should be user behavior and implementing best practices. This includes enforcing strong passwords, applying robust security awareness training, maintaining anti-malware defenses, and making sure there are policies in place for when sensitive information needs to be transferred or communicated. Knowbe4’s white paper makes it very clear, “phishing and ransomware are very serious threats that can cause enormous damage to an organization’s finances, data assets, and reputation.” However, associations don’t need to sit back and wait. There are actions that can be taken to reduce the chances of an attack and alleviate the effects of one.

SPCA is asking for public help in finding the person who stuffed two newborn kittens inside a plastic bag and threw it into a Vancouver dumpster last week. As a former SPCA manager who now works with the City of Surrey bylaws department, River's owner saw the warning signs and immediately rushed him to their veterinarian. A firefighter crawled onto the ice to rescue the dog early Thursday. It was a happy ending Sunday night as a dog found lost on the Coquihalla highway was reunited with his owner. Raising a dog means understanding the costs that come with it. Kratu, a rescue dog living in the U.K., has won the hearts of many after the pooch epically botched an agility course at the famed Crufts 2019 dog show. "She's my dog. I lost my wife and my parents. She's the only thing I have left." A man and his canine companion risked their lives by jumping into a frozen New York state reservoir to rescue two other dogs that had fallen through the ice in a rescue mission captured on video. District says community engagement identified need to improve way people with, without dogs share parks and beaches.

at 710-075 Sunnyside Road, Janesville, CA (District 3) on March 11, 2016 ? County Clerk says no. Bustamante claims that Montgomery registered to vote, in January, stating he lived at 250 S. Pine Street, Susanville (District 2). Montgomery lived in Janesville, District 3. He was moving to Steve Pezzulo's property in Susanville so he could run for District 2 Supervisor. The Montgonmerys lived in Janesville when Chris Montgomery falsified his Candidate papers. Steve Pezzullo submitted an application to the Lassen County Assessment Appeal Board to have his taxes reduced on the Amedee Airfield parcels he purchased under HSP Resources claiming that most of the 3,576 Acres are un-usable due to contamination and now he finds out that he can't rent the Army's Amedee Airfield. The contamination of this property was included in the RFP. HSP Resources claimed they were going to bring in business with private planes landing on the Army's Airfield. The value of the 3,576 Acres had been assessed at $521,000 after the land was sold to a private party. On March 23, 2017, the Assessment Appeals Board reduced the value and the 3576 acres will be taxed on $393,277. THE VOTERS SAID "NO WAY" Chris Montgomery submits his Candidate documents, under penalty of perjury, that he resides at 250 S. Pine Street, Susanville, CA. Chris Montgomery claims that he bought a house in Susanville in January/ 2016. THAT WAS A TOTAL LIE ? "Stephen" Pezzullo owns 250 S. Pine Street, Susanville, Ca. In 2014, Steve Pezzullo ran for Supervisor in District 2, and lost. In 2015, Steve Pezzullo filed a complaint that the Assessor removed the Army's Amedee Airfield parcel from his purchase of public property in Herlong. In 2015, Steve Pezzullo filed a complaint against the Assessor for "not living in Lassen County". District Attorney Stacey Montgomery took this to trial, for Pezzullo, but the case was dismissed. In 2016, the DA Stacey Montgomery is involved with Pezzullo and his property in Susanville so that her husband can run for election in a District he does not live in. Montgomery then uses this house in political ads ? Did he disclose this on his Candidate Application?	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T13:58:09", "url": "http://kanwehelp.com/chris%20montgomery.htm", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Heriot-Watt Chemistry ranked No.1 in Scotland by National Student Survey in 2018, based on average score. Chemistry holds the key to the solutions of many exciting and important challenges that face the world today. The chemical industry employs 230,000 highly-skilled people nationwide (80% of them chemistry graduates). With sales of chemical products of £34billion, the chemical industry is one of the UK's largest manufacturing industries. It is the UK's top manufacturing export earner, with an annual trade surplus of £5.5billion and spends nearly £3billion a year on new capital investment, plus £3.5billion on research and development expenditure. As well as the chemical industry itself, the broad range of skills involved in a chemistry degree means chemistry graduates are in high demand in other employment sectors, ranging from environmental protection to education, and commerce. Our programmes allow for a period of overseas study at universities in Australia, North America, Spain, Germany or France. An industrial placement is an integral part of the MChem in Chemistry with Industrial Experience. All of our programmes are fully accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Encourage your students to ask more questions about the practical side of publishing. We list over 7,200 active publishers and literary agents, covering the full spectrum of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction — short and long form, literary and genre — as well as visual art. Our listings are comprehensive and regularly maintained by a dedicated staff. Our advanced search feature includes over 20 search criteria to help writers and artists narrow down our thousands of listings into a manageable number. Duotrope members can find the publishers and agents who are looking for their genre, style, length, topic, etc. We've collected millions of data points on the publishers we list, and we've collated them into useful statistics and reports. Our Submission Tracker keeps things organized and streamlines the submission process. Writers and artists can see upcoming publication deadlines and seek inspiration with our theme & deadline calendar. Over 1,650 editors and agents have participated in our interview. In each interview, we ask the same questions. Writers and artists can read a full interview to get more insight into a specific publication, or they can compare many different editors' or agents' answers to a single question for a unique perspective on the publishing industry as a whole. Why should I teach my creative writing students how to use Duotrope? Duotrope has become an industry standard. No other writers' resource has the information, accuracy, and interactivity that we offer. Naturally, most writing programs and classes focus on the creative aspects of writing. If you'd like to go beyond that and include the practical side of the publishing world, Duotrope will help you achieve that goal. For emerging writers, we teach the realities of the publishing industry. Most writers know that the odds of getting published in a prestigious journal are low, but we can show them the latest data and trends for each individual journal and press. Many writers who are new to submitting simply don't know where to start. Duotrope is that starting place. They can enter the details of a piece they've polished (category, genre, length, etc.) and we'll provide a list of publishers looking for that type of piece. Then, they can sort that list by pay rates, acceptance ratios, and average response times, among other options. Duotrope brings clarity to an often-confusing process. For experienced writers, Duotrope is a great boon. Our tools can help them find the right potential publisher and make informed decisions quickly, so they can get back to writing. For those with individual-level access, they can also stay organized with our Submission Tracker and Theme & Deadline Tracker. How can my school (or class) participate in Duotrope? Individual subscriptions provide access for one person. In addition to the features listed above, individual subscribers also have their own personal area of the site, including a Submission Tracker, Favorites list, Tracked Deadlines, and more. Request a Promo Code for your class: All individual subscriptions start with a one-week trial. If you will be requiring your students to purchase their own individual subscriptions, you can contact Customer Service to request that we create a special Promo Code for your class. This will give each person who uses the code an extended, one-month trial. Promo Codes expire and are unique to each class. Group Memberships offer groups of people access to all of our individual subscriber features, plus special group-only features. These are ideal for classes, writing groups, and groups without a physical location. Bulk Gift Certificates can be purchased for any group of at least 10 people at a significant discount over the price of individual subscriptions. These are ideal for loose groups of people who don't necessarily know one another, such as winners of a contest. Gift certificates provide full, individual-level access. Duotrope on Campus provides location-based access for academic institutions and writing programs with a physical location and a computer network. Students, faculty, and visitors at the location can then run publisher and agent searches, peruse the market listings, check the statistics, and read interviews. Suggested assignment: There's no better way to learn something than to go through the process yourself. As part of a writing assignment, have your students submit the finished piece for publication. They can use our Advanced Search to find the right publisher, and if they have individual-level access, they can follow the entire process through our Submission Tracker, which will give them an idea of when to expect a response and when to query on the status of the submission. At worst, they'll gain experience with the submission process, and at best, they'll see their piece published! For detailed information on how to use our features, see our Help Center, which offers comprehensive tutorials (no account necessary). If you have any questions about how Duotrope fits into your writing class or writing program, feel free to contact us.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T00:23:44", "url": "https://duotrope.com/guides/teachersguide.aspx", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Martin Landau as Rollin Hand. On the ever of Star Trek: Discovery debuting, we are pleased to be joined by John Champion (@dvdgeeks), co-host of the Mission Log Podcast, to talk Trek and more. We begin by going over the career of Martin Landau, who passed away in July 2017. Lots of Mission Impossible chat here, including some of his most memorable episodes and also some of his other guest star appearances as well as playing Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood. We also mention a number of connections between Mission Impossible and the 1960s Star Trek show, including the overlapping guest stars and address the rumor about Landau possibly being on the list of actors to play Mr. Spock. This segues into our Trek talk, starting with Mission Log about to wrap up reviewing The Next Generation and moving on to the TNG movies and then Deep Space Nine. And we preview Star Trek: Discovery, starting next week on CBS before moving to CBS' streaming service. What do we know so far based on the trailer and advanced information? John also lets us now how Mission Log is going to cover an on-going TV show. We end with a very nerdy chat about the 1967 Bond movie Casino Royale and why we both love it, despite being "a glorified mess." Mission Log Podcast (@missionlogpod), host by John and Ken Ray (@macosken) drops every Thursday wherever you get your podcasts. 1:08 - Joe Gagne from Joe vs the World discusses wrestling podcasts, wrestling video games, Chikara, the New Japan G1 tournament and more. 23:22 - A round table discussion recorded live at Denny's to discuss the new Fantastic (in name only) Four movie, with Leonard and Todd from Longbox Heroes and Jason from Podvacacy. A few salty words get thrown in here, but can you blame us? Our pre- San Diego Comic-Con episode. Veteran comics writer Steven Grant discusses the con in the old days (Cortez Hotel), the WWE Japanese special, how his 2 Guns comic became a film starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington and comics vs Hollywood.

As most people know haunted houses are one of my favorite attractions to attend every October. After a very rainy trip to Salem, Massachusetts I decided to stop by a random haunt on my way to NYC. This photo was captured after exiting the Dark Manor haunted attraction in Norwich, CT. The haunt itself was terrifying but in a good way! Check out the review in my 2016 Halloween recap . After we regained our composure from fright; I decided to snap a picture of the spooky facade. I loved how intimidating it looked; the creepy red light glimmering through a window, Skulls lined up and down the side panels. The haunts name was primitively carved into the wood above. Everything screamed “DO NOT ENTER” which is something you want from a haunted house. The horror ended, and then just seconds after taking the picture, a scare actor (doing her best Jared Leto joker impression) popped her head out to compliment my girlfriend’s ear gauges. It was hilarious to see this girl dressed up as a psychotic clown completely break character just to share some kind words. It’s a funny detail and moment of levity in an otherwise sinister looking photo. Check out the first edition of Pic Stories here, along with a short intro detailing why I started the series. It's been a little quiet on the site as of late and that drives me crazy! I enjoy writing, but finding the time isn't that easy. I'm on the tail end of editing our first feature film Good Day, so most of my time has gone to that. The plan is to change things in 2017 and come up with new material a bit more. That being said, here is something new! I don't consider myself a photographer or anything, but taking pictures is something I enjoy doing. Whenever I visit a fun place or something random catches my eye, I'll snap a photo. I'll run it through different apps and edit it to look like vintage photography from the 80's/90's (It's an aesthetic I love) and post it on Instagram. Instead of just posting and seeing how many "likes" I'll get, I figured writing a brief description as to why I took it would be a cool concept, so here is the inaugural edition, Zombie Castle. Above is a photo I snapped as I entered the "dark ride" Zombie Castle, located at Rye Playland. I'm pretty sure I've gone on this attraction about 50 times in my life, but never fully took the time to appreciate the art work plastered across the walls. All those zombies rising from their graves. The grotesque heads floating above; which stare down at you as you enter a void of darkness. Even the painted stone around the entrance appears sinister. I know It's basically just "horror" graffiti, but it's awesome! As a kid this artwork made these things intimidating as hell; it definitely tricked us all into shelling out a couple of buck and riding them, only to discover no flesh devouring zombies inside. Regardless I've always been a sucker for these types of haunted houses. No visit to a fair is complete until I go in one. Sure they always feel dated, but hold a certain charm you don't find on many attractions today. As a huge fan of haunts, I'm always looking up new attractions to visit during the spookiest time of the year. Rarely do I come across ones that are open year round and worth my time and energy. From my experience they usually fall flat and are obviously geared towards tourists instead of a haunt enthusiast like myself. Luckily, with enough digging you can find a gem from time to time, and Escape The Dark is that gem! Escape the Dark is a collaboration between two groups, NYZ Apocalypse and Fringe Horror Theater. The set-up is as follows: "You and three partners are research scientists working for the Aurora Institute, sent underground to investigate a terrible accident in the Apollo Prison System. Armed only with a single flashlight and your nerves of steel, you chances of survival are slim." Sounds terrifying, right? The actual experience was quite unique. Once my group and I approached the building we were greeted by a solider, who ran down the rules of the attraction. We were told once inside, we would have to sign a waiver and would only be given a single flashlight. It's worth noting that only groups of four are allowed in at a time. The solider briefed us on the backstory, he explained to us that the creatures that now inhabit the prison are sensitive to light and live in the darkness, meaning the flashlight would be our only means of defense. We were also told that a few survivors needed to be located inside and that they might have clues to help us escape. After this we were instructed to enter a door and quickly guided to the beginning of the attraction. Our guide quickly vanished and our decent into darkness began. The labyrinth itself was dark, but it wasn't pitch black since I was able to make out most of the set decoration. That's a plus for me! I have been to several haunts that rely heavily on darkness to scare visitors. Usually, it ends up feeling like you're in a void being felt up by strangers, not a haunted attraction. Each room was filled with gore. Blood splattered walls, disemboweled bodies, and severed limbs are littered throughout the haunt. At one point we passed through a disgusting bathroom set. Complete with the most realistic smells and props splattered throughout. I won't go into detail, but I'm sure you can use your imagination to guess what it was like. As we continued walking we came across the survivors mentioned at the beginning. Each had a distinct personality and urged you to find a hidden number somewhere in the room. One of the more difficult numbers to retrieve was hidden inside of the "guts" of a dog. We all hesitated at this point, until one of us decided to stick our hands into the sticky mess. Good times! The actors and make up were also top notch. From what I could tell all of the creatures were dressed in orange prison suits and wearing clouded contact lenses. Their reactions to the lights also felt authentic. Anytime our flashlight would hit them they'd let out a loud shriek and disappear into the darkness. If we didn't move quick enough, they'd grab at us making the whole experience even more realistic. The closest thing I could compare them to are the creatures form the 2005 film, The Descent. The music playing throughout the attraction was excellent. The soundtrack seemed pretty familiar to me, as I'm almost certain that I heard music from Christine, It Follows, and The Guest. All together I feel Escape the Dark was an awesome haunt experience. The setting, mood, and ambiance all hit the nail on the head and I look forward to the next event from Fringe Horror Theater. Also! Escape The Dark was housed inside of NYZ Apocalypse, which is normally an interactive zombie experience. Your group is equipped with special laser guns and tossed into the middle of a zombie infested prison. Your goal is simple. Survive. Blast away any zombies that stand in your way and make it through the prison unharmed. Since I have never gone through the original experience I can't give that a full review, but I do plan on going back and trying it out! For more info on Fringe Horror, check out their Facebook page.

If you have a desire to give and want to get involved with 100 Fold, anyone is welcome to join. Although the group meets every other month for networking, opportunities to give can happen as often as several times a week. The group is also always open to suggestions of people who need a helping hand or of ways to help the community. To join 100 Fold or to connect the group to resources or to those in need, visit 100foldcares.org or contact Eldon Combs at 417-496-9696 or at eldoncombstrivia@gmail.com. Each week on his radio show, Eldon Combs quizzes callers to his radio show on pop culture, sports and 417-land lore, but this question-master isn’t easily stumped. As organizer of the volunteer and networking group 100 Fold, Combs is often asked how he and 100 Fold members can help those in need, and without hesitation, Combs always finds an answer thanks to the pooled resources, connections and donations of the group’s 80 or so members. The members hadn’t always started out with this charitable mission. Combs first gathered the group after he left a sales job to start his radio show, The Guide One Insurance Trivia Show on JOCK 98.7 FM on Fridays from 2 to 3 p.m. Various local businesses were involved in the show, and eventually, the people involved (mostly advertisers or sponsors of the show) arranged periodic meetings to network and catch up with each other. Seven years ago at one of those meetings, member Judy Bilyeu told the group about a local family who had fallen on hard times—a car accident left the family with medical bills, no car and only one income—and the team mobilized. Each member was able to pitch in somehow, whether it was as small as donating $20 out of their own pockets or as big as making some calls and then acquiring and repairing a vehicle to donate to the family. Combs knew he had something special. “We found out that day that everyone had a heart for giving, and we’ve been giving ever since,” he says. And with that, 100 Fold was formed. “When each of us does what we can individually, then collectively we can make significant changes in someone’s life,” says Bilyeu, who has been a member since the group started. Many of 100 Fold’s members are business owners and can therefore pitch in by donating restaurant gift cards, hotel rooms, mechanic services—you name it, they’ve got it covered. By contributing these varied donations, the members of 100 Fold are able to help those who are in need of a hand but aren’t quite covered by existing charities and organizations. For example, someone who is struggling financially might need help with utility bills during the winter, or someone who recently lost a job might not be able to afford the payments on the car necessary to get him or her to a job interview. These aren’t people who would be seeking a spot at a homeless shelter or even necessarily utilizing a food pantry, but their needs exceed what a church group or small organization could provide. “We have no idea what level of help they need,” Combs says. “We just know they need help.” And 100 Fold provides it. One of the group’s more elaborate ways of helping is called a Weekend of Blessings, which they try to do each quarter. Members contribute everything needed for an all-inclusive, full weekend of fun to help a struggling family with kids escape the constant stress and reminders of a difficult situation. The weekend includes hotel rooms, three meals each day, transportation, gift cards or cash and family activities such as trips to the zoo or movie passes. Each action starts with an email from Combs telling the group about a person or family who needs something. “I get a lot of credit, but I have nothing without these people,” Combs says. He says he never asks anyone individually to give; the group gives willingly—and quickly. Bilyeu notes that quite often, the needs of the family or individual have been met within hours after Combs’s email has been sent. “A lot of this is due to the power of the Internet and social media,” Bilyeu says, and she notes that’s the key in getting a similar organization off the ground. With a start that straightforward, it’s relatively easy to gather your own group to start giving back in your own ways, and that is Combs’s goal. “If 100 Fold had one wish, they’d hope that this model of everyone having a small part and making a big difference would inspire everyone to act,” he says. If all it takes is an email to get started, what’s stopping you from pressing send?	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T16:56:13", "url": "https://www.417mag.com/issues/may-2016/multiple-choices-millions-of-dollars/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Co-creativity has the power to bridge gaps in times of adversity. While opinions in a polarized society grow more and more apart, every moment of crisis is an opportunity for success. In the past decades we have seen the growth of design to be used as a means to enable social inclusion. Inclusive design methods, such as Human Centered Design and Design Thinking have allowed communities and organizations to broaden the impact of sensible solutions for social innovation. Nowadays design terminologies and processes are applied in different contexts, from neighborhood markets to business development in large corporations. But what is the thing with design that makes it so powerful? One of the greatest lessons that design has taught us lately is the need for interaction with every stakeholder in a given situation. To understand the complexity of a certain issue, we must change our perspective from a top-down to an inclusive one, and start by listening instead of having something to say first. This approach has deepened the ability of designers to understand problems by seeing how they are perceived by those who are really affected by them. If we are talking about a physically-manufactured product, for instance, a multidisciplinary design practice is going to seek input from the engineers and the producers to the complete other side of the supply chain; talking with business shop owners and, ultimately – but not last, the end-users. It is often the case that there is usually not a ‘single problem’ but actually a context that needs to be solved. Being able to listen to every participant in a certain situation allow us to understand that there is not always a single solution for a problem, but a combination of possibilities that can be explored. We come to realize, for instance, that a ‘better product’ is not always the solution to a problem or question, but very often there is a contextual solution that is needed instead. Making use of (yes) physical products, but in combination with service products can change what we are used to doing and can also shape the way we approach new situations. Refugee crisis, urban migration and the real stakeholders of the situation. Since 2014, more then 1.5 million migrants entered Europe in search of safety and a better opportunity in life. The situation has been highlighted by the social-economical downsides and its political mismanagement ever since. In the best of cases, the refugee crisis has labeled as ‘inhuman’. To address the situation, What Design Can Do, UNCHR and Ikea Foundation by The Refugee Challenge, was launched in 2016 and brought us the following question: What can design do to solve the refugee crisis? Well, naturally there is very little we could think that designers could do when the global political community and the largest humanitarian organizations were not able to cope with the problem. But here comes the power of design that we were just referring to: the shift in perspective. It was based on the collective input of participants of the situation that Makers Unite proposed a winning solution for the Refugee Challenge: “Let’s sit together, co-create and make our way towards a more inclusive society”. We started by bringing together mixed groups of newcomers and locals, discussing the situation while working with the material of life-vests recovered from Greek shores. In the very first sessions, we were able to perceive the talent and creativity of the newcomers in the group. We saw their willingness to collaborate, to work together towards solutions that would make sense for the situation. At the same time, the group of locals was able to perceive the strength and the talent of these newcomers, which was up to that point, not widely communicated to the broader society . We understood in co-creation that the social inclusion of refugees in The Netherlands faces two key issues: 1) governmental systemic solutions are unable to listen to newcomers’ real ambitions, and 2) the general Dutch society is not aware of the positive aspects of migration. Application to Makers Unite: Turning problems into opportunities. Together with newcomers and locals, we developed a Makers Program where participants come together for the making of sustainable products. While making these products in collaboration, we get to know each other and find ways to identify real opportunities for the application of the talents of newcomers in society. After a six-week talent development process, by growing their confidence and soft-skills, creative newcomers are able to build high-quality resumes, portfolios and video-presentations. This allows them to connect to companies and organizations in the creative sector for the provision of professional opportunities, such as training, internships and jobs. The products we make together still use the material of the life-vests recovered from Greek shores. We transform them into trendy laptop sleeves, iPhone cases and wallets that are commercialized to the public. When bringing these products to society we are able to transmit our message of positivity for a more inclusive community; highlighting the talent and the opportunity that is discovered because of the situation. At the same time, revenue from the products sold helps sustain the social business model of Makers Unite. Making is the center of the creative process. After being awarded a winning project of the Refugee Challenge amongst 630 entries from 70 different countries, Makers Unite have passed through several phases of development and concluded a pilot program at the end of 2016. The program is now focused on providing opportunities to discover and use the talent of creative newcomers in The Netherlands and has been structured in partnership with the Dutch Association of Designers (BNO). We are also setting collaborations with the Dutch Crafts Council and projects for the Amsterdam Fashion Week. Our products have recently been acquired by the Stedelijk Museum and are now part of the exhibition Design Refugee: Solution or Utopia, running until September 3, 2017. What we have learned so far by listening to every participant of the problem we wanted to tackle is that the complexity of the situation exists only from a top down perspective. That actually when closely getting to know people, newcomers and locals, we understand that social inclusion should be made much more simple that what is thought of. If everyone would be given the right to make use of its talents, we would certainly not be in the same situation. This is the base of our mission at Makers Unite. Making sure that each individual can be heard, understood, and given an opportunity to grow and move forward. Ultimately we believe that the co-creative making process applied to newcomers in The Netherlands can be adapted to any social context where basic needs are provided. Today we are exploring the possibilities of developing Makers Unite programs in other countries in Europe and abroad. We understand therefore that design has not only the power to bridge gaps in society, but is already proving its potential to pave the road to social inclusion in one of the world’s most complex issues.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T12:40:32", "url": "http://publicjournal.online/co-design-making-paving-the-roads-to-social-inclusion/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

I wrote you a couple of years ago regarding the Tiffany CT60 and received a delightful reply, for which I thank you. I wonder if you would be kind enough to answer another question… my wife of 35 years is approaching her 60th, and I would like to present her with an appropriate gift. She is a passionate watcher of the phases of the moon, so my thoughts quickly turned to a luxury watch that would incorporate this complication. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that this is easier said than done, one reason perhaps being that the complication adds enough size to make such a watch unwieldy on a woman’s wrist. I have however come across the Breguet Classique Automatic Moonphase, reference 9088BB/29/964/DD0D, calibre 537L, which looks very promising. I know Breguet has a long history of quality, but I also know that it is now part of the Swatch luxury brand portfolio, which has given you and other readers cause for concern. Nonetheless, I would be very grateful for any opinions you have about this particular timepiece, and I would be equally grateful to receive from you any suggestions regarding other manufacturers who might produce such an item. Let’s get this out of the way first: that is a lovely watch. The moonphase complication need not add much at all in diameter or height, as even a cursory look at vintage moonphase watches will demonstrate, but finding a well done version in modern watches is no easier than finding anything else. As to Breguet, they have indeed had a rather tumultuous time of it since the death of the founder. They have passed in and out of several hands since then, but the incorporation of Breguet into the Swatch Group has done it no more harm than it has suffered at other times in its history. Moreover, the resources of the Group, and the personal interest the late Nicholas G. Hayek took in Breguet, have a lot to do with why the brand still exists at all. For an elegant moonphase display, I would also consider the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon; a most charming and elegant moonphase wristwatch in a classic design. You may feel that it is too large, but the Rolex Cellini Moonphase (39mm) is an extraordinarily lovely watch. Oh, and it is very expensive but Vacheron Constantin makes a lovely ladies’ moonphase watch: the Patrimony Traditionelle Moon Phase And Power Reserve Small Model (36mm in diameter). I am looking to add a leather strapped watch to my small collection, which currently consists of a Rolex GMT Master II, an old-time only military Breitling, a Swatch Sistem51 first edition, and a Seiko Padi 'Turtle'. Although I would very much like to get my hands on a F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu, Patek Philippe Calatrava, Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1907 or A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia, my budget of about £5,000-£6,000 only allows me to look elsewhere in the market. For that reason, I would be most grateful if you could provide your views in general, as well as on the reliability and potential resale value, on the few watches on my shortlist. They are as follows: Cartier Drive De Cartier Extra Flat (steel), Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin (date or small seconds), Blancpain Villeret Ultra Slim (38mm, steel) or, as a second-hand option, Breguet Classique 5930 (white gold). Please feel free to also suggest any other alternatives that you may think of. Over the years, I have come to appreciate your always very interesting recommendations and knowledgeable comments on other people's watch choices, and it would be great if you could provide your assistance with mine. The resale value on ultra-thin or extra-flat watches (the two terms are used more or less interchangeably) is not something I would think about too much if you want to enjoy any of them. It’s, to put it bluntly, not great, and while you have a slightly higher margin of protection with Cartier, thanks to the strength of the name, you’re still looking at pronounced depreciation no matter how you choose to slice it. Of the watches you've mentioned, I think I would most strongly recommend the Cartier Drive Extra Flat. It may be steel, but I think from a design perspective, it is a very pure expression of the Cartier design ethos and would be a most satisfying watch to wear – more so than the Blancpain or the JLC (I have never forgiven the latter for removing the Master Ultra Thin in steel, with the calibre 849, from its catalogue), and the Breguet is a very charming watch but expensive for what it is. I would also say, speaking of Jaeger-LeCoultre, that you ought to take a look at the Reverso – an underappreciated classic to this day, or perhaps I should say, underrepresented on wrists. Few watches are better known, but it seems to be passed over more often than not. I have always been a fan of Seiko Brightz, especially the limited edition, but they are generally in the same price range as Swiss chronometer watches with ETA movement. If I had to choose one, which would you recommend? Thank you. Ah, you know, I am quite fond of many things that Seiko does, but I find the Brightz watches to be a bit too middle-of-the-road, if I may say so. Mind you, they still shine in comparison to similarly priced Swiss watches, but they generally fail to engage my interest. I think it may partly be an issue with the designs – Brightz watches exhibit, a little too often, some of the less desirable design habits of Seiko (in general, a little too much attention-seeking and unnecessary detail for their own good) and the price overlaps with their Presage watches, which are more appealing. Mind you, Seiko Presage can be hit or miss sometimes, as well – the open-dialled versions are about as appealing as last week’s haggis. But in general, I think there’s much more there for the serious watch person than in Brightz, especially with the introduction of the new, thinner Presage calibre 6L35 in the SJE073J1, which I hope will not remain a limited edition.

Dogs can make great pets. Dogs bring happiness and unconditional love into the lives of their owners. But, to really make life perfect, you need to learn all that you can about your furry friend. To become a truly responsible master to your dog, take a look at the savvy advice presented below. Make your home safe for your dog. It should be perfectly safe before you bring a dog in. Do not have any pills out in the open and put all supplies in cabinets. Some plants in your house may be toxic to your dog, so they should be kept where your dog cannot reach them. Hugs are great to give your pets, but kisses are not that great. Dog kisses may be seen as cute, but their mouths aren’t all that clean. Dogs poke around trash cans, love smelling and licking other dogs’ body parts and enthusiastically drink from toilet bowls. There is an old wives’ tale that says that the mouth of a dog is cleaner than that of a human. Definitely do not believe that! You need to take your older pet to the vet at lease once a day. Your dog can’t speak to tell you he’s in pain. Regular checkups will assure these issues are caught before they turn into something big. Always have your dogs spayed or neutered. Studies have shown that this leads to the pet living a longer and much healthier life. Dogs that are neutered or spayed don’t have strong urges to leave their home, reducing their chances of getting hit by a vehicle or getting lost. Resist the urge to give your dog table scraps. Not only will table scraps turn your dog off on their regular food, but it will also teach them to constantly beg. Scraps can be terrible for his diet and lead to obesity and other health problems. Make your dog stay out of the room when the family is eating. You need to trim your dog’s nails regularly. Your dog will be in pain if the nails begin curling. It is easy to purchase a pair of clippers and attend to these yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable trimming them yourself, a groomer can do it for little money. Schedule a visit for your new dog with your local veterinarian. Make an appointment as early as possible. In addition to giving your dog a check up, the vet will schedule vaccinations. In addition, consult your vet about spaying or neutering your dog. The shelters are already overcrowded, so you do not want to make that problem worse. To summarize, a dog provides its owner with a wealth of unconditional love which is really not reciprocated by anyone else in the same way. However, the make the most of your relationship, it is necessary to learn everything you can. This article has given you what you need to know to be an expert with dogs.

Should You Hire an Intern? If your business (and workload) is growing, you may wonder if adding an intern to your staff is a good idea. It could be – if you think through what this process would entail. Here are a few questions to consider before making a decision. What can you offer a potential intern? An intern will come to your company hoping to expand his or her repertoire of skills and learn about your business. Think ahead about the types of projects you anticipate needing help with. Do you have enough work, short-term or ongoing, to keep someone busy? Would these projects be interesting or appealing to you if you were the intern? Be sure to ask potential candidates what their expectations of the experience will be as well. What could an intern offer you? The right intern can provide tech savviness, support to other staff and even a fresh perspective you may not know you’re lacking. If you like the idea of sharing your knowledge and expertise with someone new to your field, mentoring an intern could be something you really enjoy. Also, an intern who works out well might be someone you ultimately offer a full-time job to. Do you, or someone on your team, have time to supervise an intern? An intern will require more guidance and supervision than your regular employees – after all, they are by definition inexperienced. Have you thought through how you would pencil in this commitment? Or, do you have another employee who would be willing and interested to take on this responsibility? You may also want to factor in how your staff feels about having someone new on board who may be coming to them for assistance. Will this internship be paid or unpaid? What are the logistical matters to consider? Do you have an extra desk, computer or any of the other basics the intern will require to do his or her job? Are there legal matters you need to work out – like tax implications or health insurance benefits? If this is the first intern you’re hiring, talk with fellow small business owners who have had some experience in this area for their guidance. Internships have the potential to be a win-win situation for everyone involved – if you’re prepared. By establishing a clear idea of what you want to accomplish, and being realistic about what the relationship will require, starting an internship program at your company could be one of the best long-term decisions you make.

“This is my favorite pajama, should I put it in the box too?” said Ehsan nine-year-old child, looking at his favorite piece of clothing. After a minute of thinking, he took it and put it in the donation’s box. At an initiative from Wissam, the psychologist of Qudsaya village, children of the village gathered clothes to donate them for the children who were evacuated recently from besieged Eastern Ghouta. It is the weekend, and the village is like a beehive. Some children packing clothes, others sorting them by size, and another group helping their SOS mothers with ironing. Everyone works with enthusiasm, and wants to help the children who have suffered for many years in the besieged area of rural Damascus. While packing, Luma, an SOS mother at the village, noticed the Pajama of Ehsan in one of the boxes, she looked around in search for him and found him working with his brothers in sealing some boxes. “Ehsan honey, can I have a word with you?” Called Luma. When he came, she told him that it was not necessary to give up this piece, because she knew how much he loves it. Ehsan looked at his SOS mother and said: “Mom, remember when I first came to the village, and how happy I was when you gave me clean nice clothes to wear?” “Yes sweetie I do remember.” “I know exactly how they feel now, and I want them to feel like I felt when I got clothes,” said Ehsan, as if it was the most normal thing to do. Luma hugged him and sent him back to help his brothers. “We want children in our care to be grateful for what they have, have empathy for children who are in need, and feel the happiness of helping others” said Wissam. Despite having a family life in the SOS village, where they have everything they need, many of the children in SOS Children’s Villages care still remember how hard their life was before they came to the village, especially that number of them have been evacuated from besieged areas as well and have experienced difficult security and living conditions. They could feel and understand the pain these children are going through. By the evening, everything was ready and all boxes were gathered in the village activity room for the bus to take them the next day to the camp to be distributed to the children there. The village children went to sleep early that night, very tired, yet very happy, happy and satisfied with their accomplishment. It is not about how many pieces they have donated, but how much love they have put into giving. In SOS Children’s Villages, we have different approaches to help children who lost parental care to overcome traumas and hardships they experienced, and we believe that there is a healing power behind giving that makes children feel happy and proud of themselves. Giving will make them know that they are not only children who suffered but who must be prepared to become responsible adults who will contribute in rebuilding the country again when the war is over.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-26T06:26:48", "url": "http://sos-syria.org/news.aspx?newsID=0c9641ee-47c3-4c3c-bdda-10a42e569983", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
With the fair winds pushing us fast towards South Georgia, and despite the uncomfortable rolling as we sail over relative big swells, it really seems that our arrival time will be earlier than scheduled. That will allow us to probably spend a bit more time on the fantastic island. During last night the wind decreased a bit, blowing at around 25kn. We are sailing between broad and beam reach, allowing us to set a bit more canvas. Inner jib and fore topmast staysail are up during all night, together with the spanker. For the rest, the configuration is still the same, squares up to upper topsails and lower staysails. Like this we reach speeds up to 9-10kn. Making great progress towards South Georgia. In the morning the weather is drier, at least it does not rain, but we still need to dress in our good waterproof sailing clothes as the decks receive the sea spray and are still washed from time to time by big waves. And while the sun rises, while sailing at 7.5kn on a 040º course it looks like we pass through a fish swarm as Hourglass dolphins plus a couple of Humpback and several Fin whales seem busy feeding around us. Also we have a nice sight of a Pilot whale pod joining the feast. The species of Pilot whale that inhabits these high latitudes is the so called Long-finned. Its relative, the Short-finned Pilot Whale occupies areas at lower latitudes and warmer waters. Their dark body colour, several white marks like an eye stripe and dorsal saddle, their broad backswept dorsal fin and their bulbous head make them unmistakable. All the mixed group of different species don’t show much interest in the Europa and just mind their business as we sail by.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T00:05:47", "url": "https://www.barkeuropa.nl/logboek/detail/closing-in", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, only 42, was shot several times in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles minutes before midnight on June 4, 1968. He had just won the California Democratic presidential primary and seemed destined for the nomination. He lingered through the next day, but the wounds proved fatal and he died early in the morning of June 6. He was buried next to his brother, the also-martyred President John F. Kennedy, on June 8. After Jack, something happened within the broken soul and slight body of Robert F. Kennedy. It was ironic that RFK was seen and beloved as the moral successor to Martin Luther King Jr., who was gunned down just eight weeks earlier in Memphis during that dreadful, heaving year. “Bobby,” as we called him, had always been considered ruthless, single-minded, and impertinent—because he was. But that all changed after he lost his alter-ego John Kennedy, to assassination on November 22, 1963. Something happened within the broken soul and slight body of Robert F. Kennedy. Harry Belafonte has been among those close to the scene of all this history, so much of it driven by the personal vicissitudes of life. He sympathetically wrote about the discernible change in Robert Kennedy that evolved in the shadow of his brother’s assassination. Although it was not immediate, some people close to Bobby had observed it in unexpected patches even while Jack was alive: Robert Kennedy, the vivacious father of eleven children (though one was born after Kennedy’s death on June 6, 1968), did have a well of compassion within him. Many historians have expounded upon the deepening of Robert Kennedy that occurred after he lost his brother. There are innumerable accounts of his midnight jaunts over the fence at Arlington National Cemetery, sometimes alone, sometimes with a trusted friend, where he would spend hours in prayer over the president’s grave. The eternal flame would capture the unspeakable woe etched permanently into the taunt face, tears poured out of his hollow eyes, and even his thick, wavy shock of hair would appear wracked and hopeless. Kennedy, always thin, became agonizingly gaunt, a despondent reed of a man once obsessed with details who now sat staring out the window at meetings and conferences. He was known to disappear on solitary walks through Washington at all hours of the day or night; he donned his late brother’s jackets and cuff-links and even transferred his papers into one of John’s favored carry-cases. A number of Dr. King’s associates have commented to me about prophetic attributes that emerged in RFK as he jaunted through his brisk 72-day run for the presidency. Robert Kennedy was suffering; no one or anything could reach him—so profound and extreme was his bereavement. The two brothers had been physically and spiritually inseparable, each other’s sealed confidantes and absolute protectors. Bobby was Jack’s supreme adviser, a kind of guru who nonetheless willingly and dutifully subsumed his own ambitions and even his career in favor of the exalted older sibling who had fulfilled the family mission of the presidency.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T04:44:20", "url": "http://spiritbehindthenews.com/we-lost-bobby-exactly-fifty-years-ago/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
