Isleworth Boardgamers: It's adventure time! Don't forget to pack the Gin. It's adventure time! Don't forget to pack the Gin. Coup in space and a crowded Tumbling Dice championship were on the go early on, followed by a whole bunch of stuff. Adventure land, or Adventure time? Isn't that a cartoon or something? Anyway, it's the airiest of kid's games; turn over cards, hoover up some tokens, and occasionally roll some dice. There will be VPs at the end. Also not Japanese, which is an oddity for James. It was pleasant enough, although there were a couple of times I thought I was in danger of falling into a coma with all the repetition involved. Council of Four, played by four, Philip probably won? Everybody else dogpiled into Automobiles, the box looked like Trains but the game was something else entirely. A few rounds of 'Dixit in Hong Kong' I'm personally not convinced that the traitor element adds anything to the format but the game itself was fine. We were led astray by the machinations of 'Pliko' James, who misdirected us handily from the murder weapon and it all went downhill from there. In the second game I was put into a difficult corner as the murderer and had to tilt at the most obious yet wrong clue on the table to prevent being outed. Jon eventually ended up correctly pinning the crime on me, but it was so very close as he was torn between combinations on Ken's tableau and mine. Third go around and Ken was the murderer, and despite the rest of the group correctly identifying both clues with exactly the right logic they decided to guess at pretty much anything but that combination. A bad day for CSI all told then. Followed up with Quadropolis on one table, Ginkgopolis on another, and Airships (no polis I'm afraid) on a third. "Alan" not-Tom, "no, the other one" John, and DLT Tom joined me in the high and mighty pursuit of Luftschiff manufacturing. I got things off to a fine start by grabbing the easiest airship, only for John and then Alan to successively steal away the bonus token with their own builds. Intent on showing the lads how it's done I then bought a new hangar despite completely forgetting that I already had one in play, which made for a totally wasted turn. Alan made a half-hearted attempt at getting the Hindenburg going but nobody else wanted to follow so the effort petered out quickly. John looked like the best shot to steal victory as he was amassing quite the fleet, but my canny purchases from the market gave me a top-quality company packed with the best staff and latest innovations, and a lot of VPs as a result. I took the opportunity to end the game with the last airship build as soon as it became available and despite failing at the first attempt it was a cinch the second time around. At the final counting, I had enough points to pip John into second place and took the honours. Tom went down in flames whilst Alan suffered a slow puncture. A welcome return for Diamant maxed out to eight players finished off the evening, we had lots of fun. Tom is the new Gareth, he nearly broke one of his high heels in his rush to scarper out on the first turn, but still managed to take a close victory. It must be a couple of years since this last got played at the club, and we ought to make sure it doesn't gather dust for so long in future! James compared Quadroplois to Between Two Cities, but personally I think it’s a lot better. You also get two significantly different versions of the game, the base version and the expert version. Having said that neither of them are that heavy. The base game runs four rounds, you buy up to four tiles each round and place them in your city. To get a tile you place one of your architects (You have four numbered 1 to 4) which determine not only what tile you can get (You count along the row or column you have placed it by and get the tile in the position that matches your architect) but where you are allowed to place it in your city (You need to place it on a row or column with the same number as the architect used to acquire it). There are six different building types (Eight in the expert version) and they all score differently. Despite Jon saying that his first play of Ginkgopolis left him thinking it was too thinky for him he managed to get lumbered with a second game, maybe he was just worried about defending his first play, 2 point, victory? The box says 45 mins, we took nearly two hours for the first game but managed to crack through in just over the hour last night. So you draft some cards which you can either a. exploit for resources, building tiles or VPs, or b. use them to build, new areas or taller buildings. You're looking to get area majorities and there are bonuses to be gained from helpful engineers and each building you grow skywards. I think it plays smoothly, everyone stays involved throughout and by holding onto 1 card each time your draft the randomness is hugely lessened. And then Jon won again. By 2 points, 2 freaking points, again. I took the opportunity to bring along a Tumblin' Dice set that was made for me by my Dad, inspired by Jon having created one with his father. His is pine from an ikea wardrobe, mine is MDF with some stuck on images of dice. And my Dad included 6 sets of five dice, instead of four sets of four. All six slots were taken for this first game of the evening and so it made for the most dice in one game of Tumblin' Dice that I've ever seen. One would maybe think that it'd lead to crowded steps, where the MDF couldn't be seen for strategically placed dice, but for the first few rounds most of them just went off the end of the board, leading to comments of the board or the dice being a touch too small. Jon also insisted on sending all of his dice down the same channel on the right and watched countless cubes tumble off to oblivion over on the 3 and 4 steps. Neil managed to position his cubes quite well, only to find that everyone was out to get him and almost all of his purple dice on the 3 and 4 steps were knocked off by his fellow tumblers. Paul claimed victory, although it was his set and it could be claimed that he had an advantage due to being the only one to play with these dice and board before. Either way, lots of fun and it will be back. As it's already been noted, the game box is branded identically to AEG's trains and also, although I haven't seen it, to Planes. Trains gets a lot of love at IBG, especially with the Rising Sun expansion, although Planes suffered from terrible reviews so I'm not sure it's ever made it to the table. And they're all by different designers, so the common thread seemed to be the 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' theme. John B had played three times so far and convinced four other board gamers to join him to simulate the Daytona 500 indy car race. The race track is made up of four lanes, each split into many slots, with the shorter slots being on the inside of the track (which take the cars a shorter distance) and the longer slots being on the outside. These slots represent the gears of the car and are coloured differently, from white on the inside, through light and dark grey to black on the outside. Players have bags of coloured cubes, some of which are white, grey and black, which allow the players to move their cars and some are other colours which are for special abilities, and some are brown to represent 'wear' (for Trains players, this is the equivalent of 'waste' cards - i.e. they are given to you when you travel a long way and they clog up your bag). Wear cubes can be discarded, so it's a case of careful bag management, attempting to get a good balance. The mechanism for playing is that each player pulls seven cubes from the bag, and uses them to either move or buy other cubes. So a bag building game instead of deck building. And the first to complete three laps is the winner. It seemed to work very smoothly. John B sped off to a huge lead being the first player and pulling some great cubes in the first hand, so it soon turned into a case of 'catch the leader'. Part way through Paul managed to overtake him temporarily, only to be left in his wake. Tom was in Paul's wing mirror vying for second, whilst 'Midlands John' and Neil were slower to move through their gears. But as the game progressed, things started to even themselves out and as the end of the third lap was in sight, Tom and Paul had both overtaken John, and were fighting it out for the lead. On the last pull, Paul managed to get the better cubes and so roared through the checkered flag first. I would be happy to play again as I thought it played really well, and I don't think the world of gaming is too full of good racing games. Helped by my victory, of course.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-26T16:23:10", "url": "http://isleworthboardgamers.blogspot.com/2016/03/its-adventure-time-dont-forget-to-pack.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Greece’s Economic Crisis and its impact on the country’s Cultural heritage - GoUNESCO - Make Heritage Fun! Can we create a new future for Greece’s cultural heritage while in the middle of an ongoing economic meltdown? Greece was once the world’s fastest growing economy and the center of cultural flourishing. During the Golden Age of Athens (5th century BC) when concepts like equality, decency and democracy were born, architectural marvels such as Acropolis of Athens, its Parthenon and the Temple of Olumpian Zeus, among others, had also come into being. But today, in the middle of an economic crisis, Greece is dealing with radical modifications in its constitutional, financial and social structures. Since the lack of confidence in the economic system, in the model of governance and, in the mechanism of the current social system, is growing, the country’s cultural budgets are falling. Over the past 3 years, the funds of the Ministry of Culture have dropped by 50 percent. This has grossly impacted the country’s abundant heritage that includes 210 archaeological museums, 250 organized archaeological sites and 19,000 designated monuments and sites. Therefore, in times like these, it’s the cultural heritage that can be a driver and an enabler of prosperity and sustainable development, a repository of knowledge, and a symbol of stability. It is also this cultural heritage that will allow us a better understanding of our local identities and strengthen our social cohesion during such a rapid socio-economic change. However, the fruitless austerity policies have generated a clearly negative impact on the cultural sector. There are circumstances where new occupations have not been created and young professionals are employed (if employed) only for short-term contracts. A large number of employees working in the cultural sector have also been dismissed while thousands of young scholars and qualified professionals have left the country. Moreover, during the last year’s financial shortcomings, Greek excavations, research and conservation projects, which are mostly funded by the EU, have been immobilized. In addition to that, many regional Ephorates of antiquities have been merged due to reduction in costs, which has clearly impacted the strength of the number of employees and their budget-seeking prospects. According to Ioannis Grammatikakis, the Head Conservator of a recently completed conservation-restoration project of the peripheral monuments of Knossos, “Conservation projects have to be more targeted and linked to the sustainable preservation of cultural heritage. Most of the present projects are not considering an archaeological site as a whole, but are focusing in the most endangered to collapse areas – a strategy which is not profitable neither for the monument itself nor for its economics.” (Grammatikakis is a PhD candidate of the Chemistry Department at the University of Crete and a current assistant researcher at IESL-FORTH). But apart from the currently pending and unresolved financial problems, shouldn’t we also focus on the sector’s longstanding and deep-rooted structural issues? In fact, from the very beginning of the economic turmoil, the Greek cultural sector has responded with a process of “gradual adjustment” without making any concrete structural changes to its cultural policies. Additionally, it is also a result of a close and self-referential approach of the organizations in-charge of culture, their incapacity to evaluate or compare their performances, their social impact, and finally, their bureaucratic and inarticulate decision–making processes, which are making it difficult for them to deal with the economic crisis. Therefore, instead of perceiving the crisis as an external constraint and wait for its end or recovery, it’s time to connect the dots and identify the system’s loopholes. At the same time, we must also bear in mind that only in times of severe difficulties, as this one, new structural frameworks have a chance of being accepted. So can we look beyond the obvious and implicit threat, and let the crisis be interpreted as an opportunity to restructure the entire system? Begum Samru’s Haveli: a lost heritage?	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T02:02:51", "url": "https://www.gounesco.com/greece-economic-crisis-cultural-heritage-impact/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
I am running on an HP 15 Notebook PC, with and AMD A6-5200APU with Radeon HD. The laptop is just being used as a tower, the lid remains closed at all times. My primary monitor is a 32 inch curved Samsung, running through the laptops only hdmi port. I am in need of connecting a 48" Sharp HD television, as the dual monitor. The only remaining ports on the laptop are USB. Is this possible? Be sure to check and see which resolution the TV uses first, as well as the type of video input port it has. This is exactly what I needed thank you!!!!!

The project Chairs for Nursing Mothers is somewhat a continuation of last year’s project entitled Textiles to Enrich the World of Sick Children (items produced for the Department of Psychiatry), and the results of both projects were presented as gifts to the University Children’s Hospital in Ljubljana. Our basic idea has been to engender the somewhat lab-whiteness of a hospital with a more colourful ambiance and to use the primordial warmth of textiles created by women; and with the aid of imagination and creativity, to invoke a sense of ease and comfort. We believe that we have located a niche of mutual communication, a project that is very personal and, at the same time, public: something from women to women, or, put in a broader context, human creativity for the benefit of nursing mothers and their infants.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T02:19:18", "url": "http://cityofwomen.org/en/content/2005/project/chairs-nursing-mothers", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

A Tifton, Ga.-based lumberyard company hopes to build business – and relationships — by creating an event for local homeowners called the South Georgia Home Showcase. Jay Short, owner of Short and Paulk Supply Co., is promoting the Feb. 12-13 home show as a can’t-miss event for both home owners and builders. Some 100 manufacturers and suppliers are expected to attend the event, held at the Tifton campus of the University of Georgia. At the same time, the show will provide builders continuing education every hour from the American Institute of Architects. Short and Paulk operates five retail lumberyards in Georgia, plus a truss plant and a door shop. The event grew out of a relationship Short made with UGA during the building of a net-zero-energy house on the Tifton campus a few years ago. More than 100 companies are expected to particpate as exhibitors at the inaugural Home Showcase. Plus, the event will feature 12 Contractor College Classes. Lumberyard participation in home shows is common. But creating a show from scratch is a rare approach. To Short, the idea is simple: If it helps his builders and it helps his home owners, then by definition, it helps Short and Paulk. Short also sees the show – co-presented this year by Conger LP Gas – as a community-building exercise. Registered attendees enter for free, but a walk-in door charge of $10 is donated to Habitat for Humanity. Also, proceeds from sale of water and Gatorade will go to a local organization promoting literacy. “If we’re able to make good things happen around us, then we’ll benefit, too,” Short said.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T01:47:09", "url": "https://www.hbsdealer.com/lumberyards/dealer-creates-south-georgia-home-showcase/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

EDITOR’S NOTE — The Odessa American used pseudonyms for the woman in West Odessa and the undercover narcotics officer for their safety. Amy said she’s had bicycles, an air compressor, a table saw, a shop vac and a number of other items stolen from her West Odessa home, thievery she suspects ultimately funds neighbors’ drug habits. She said she knows of at least four or five houses where users of meth live at or sell or produce the drug. She said the people she suspects are on drugs act like they’re “scoping out” her house and other places in the neighborhood, presumably to steal items they can sell to buy more drugs. And the purchase of drugs is actually what many instances of burglary, identity theft and other crimes stem from, Odessa Police Department narcotics officer Jason said. “I think the majority of the crimes have to do with dope,” Jason said. With only four officers in the division, however, Jason said there’s only so much they can do to detect and stop the distribution of drugs, and the use of drugs likely will never stop no matter how many officers they have. Odessa’s not the only place in the Permian Basin with a drug problem, but Jason said it’s a major hub, something gathered from local and federal investigations showing as much. Deliveries will come from Mexican “super labs,” where ephedrine, a major component of methamphetamine, is easier to access, Jason said. Those deliveries arrive in Odessa, where the drug is offloaded and distributed throughout the Basin. Arrests for methamphetamine-related crimes — such as distribution and possession — have spiked in the last three years, according to the Odessa Police Department. In 2013, the department made 50 arrests for methamphetamine crimes, which nearly tripled in 2014 when officers made 131 arrests. Through Sept. 24 of this year, the department has arrested 170 people on meth crimes. Jason said the demographics of meth have changed, as well. Originally a drug used mainly by white people and most notably the Aryan Brotherhood and Aryan Circle, Jason said the drug has crossed the racial divide with Hispanics and blacks also using and selling the drug. “There’s a whole underworld of stuff going on that people don’t know about,” Jason said, noting that he believes Odessa is in critical shape as far as drugs go. Some people with drugs can do dumb things, such as a man at a local restaurant found with cocaine sticking out of his baseball cap who told Jason, “I didn’t sell it so it’s not illegal.” But others are heavier hitters in the drug trade, with many higher ups in organizations living in the Odessa area. One such person owned a large house west of town that had a secret room concealed by a spring-loaded door where police suspected he hid his drugs, Jason said. The man was so well connected and well-known in the drug world that narcocorrido songs, or songs that praise drug dealers, are sung about him. Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson said more meth dealers in the area are carrying guns than before, and most of the chases the sheriff’s office is involved in are because of meth. “The other thing about it is around here, they’re seeing the purity level is in the high 90s, compared to what it used to be,” Donaldson said. But the concern he has about drug trade in Odessa doesn’t seem to be shared by the community, he said, as most people he’s spoken to only have a passing interest in the drug problem. The effects of the drugs, from human trafficking and prostitution to violence, are the real cost, he said. Meth is viewed much the same as other hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin, Jason said, mostly because of the violence associated with the drugs. Drug dealers and distributors protect their investment, he said, so when executing a search warrant or doing a raid, police are not shy in using SWAT teams to help them. The officers also take a special risk when going undercover, to purchase drugs as part of investigations, as they don’t have the badge to identify that they are police officers like usual. At the same time, while undercover the officers worry about whether their cover has been blown. “I know me and my guys are always thinking, ‘They know we’re cops, they know we’re cops … damn it, they know we’re cops,’ ” Jason said. But they try to act as normal as possible he said; if a narcotics officer is normally talkative, they try to be talkative while undercover. Jason said he does not go undercover on and off for more than a few weeks, as the department doesn’t have the resources to do more. Longer investigations are handed off to federal authorities. Some arrests come on normal traffic stops, such as 32-year-old Javier Bernal Duran. Duran was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for possession of cocaine, but officers also reported finding 5.1 grams of methamphetamine in a bag between the driver’s seat and the center console and concealed in a fake can of shaving cream. Officers also reported finding $1,040 in cash. Duran was arrested and charged with the first-degree felony of manufacture or delivery of methamphetamine. Duran was held Friday at the Ector County Detention Center without bond on a parole violation. Chief Deputy Israel Campos with the Reeves County Sheriff’s Office said his department recently confiscated 13 gallons of liquid-form methamphetamine, a rare find by police that is worth millions of dollars. Because his county is in the crossroads of major routes to transport methamphetamine, he said they see a lot of it going through, especially because of the super labs in Mexico. Whereas previously the Mexican cartels would mostly deal in cocaine, Jason said, they are now putting the small “tweaker labs” out of business with meth. Police used to bust 50 to 60 of such labs per year, but Jason said they haven’t had a small meth lab bust in several years now. “It’s just not profitable for those people to do it,” Jason said. Now it’s not uncommon to find a pound or kilogram of the drug coming in from Mexico. Odessa has traditionally seen a lot of drugs come through it, he said, mainly due to the interstate and the town’s size. Drug shipments can be offloaded near the interstate in a matter of minutes, and larger federal investigations are made more difficult by the turnover in people, layers of drug operations and the false names used by perpetrators, he said. Art Fuentes, chief of police with the Fort Stockton Police Department, said his town has also seen its fair share of problems due to meth. Fuentes said the problem in his community is twofold, though, as the meth will go through Fort Stockton to Odessa, but then dealers will bring it back to Fort Stockton to sell once it is given to the dealers. In response, Fuentes said his department is in the early stages of deploying a drug dog, with an officer already training for the position. Closer to the border in Terrell County, Sheriff Clint McDonald said because no port of entry is at his county, they don’t see much meth coming from over the border. However, he said even further away they are also feeling the effects of the meth coming down to his county. Donaldson said his department only has two deputies assigned to keeping up with drugs, but they also lean heavily on the Drug Enforcement Administration to help with investigations. Donaldson said the increase in meth is not just a local problem, but a national problem. And while it could be prevented by keeping it at the border, Donaldson said border patrol already seizes drugs there and would need more leeway to inspect vehicles to collect more of the drugs. Jason said much of the same, noting that demand is much of what keeps the industry going. OPD Chief Tim Burton said his department continues investigatory work with federal and other agencies to crack down on distribution. “We’ve stepped up our street enforcement through patrol, which is reflected in some of the numbers, I think,” Burton said. If not for the shortage of officers throughout the department, Burton said he would like to boost the number of narcotics officers, as would most law enforcement agencies. Even so, the supply of drugs coming from Mexico creates unique problems for local police. Amy, who said she’s even had problems with drugs among her family members, said she’s worried about her grandchildren, who are now getting old enough to be influenced by others who take drugs.

On the 13 July 2017, HM Treasury published its second Finance Bill of 2017, which included changes to the proposed Making Tax Digital for Business scheme. Businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold (currently £85,000) will have to keep digital records, but only for VAT purposes. Making Tax Digital for Business has not gone away but the pressure has been turned down. However, it is essential to use the extra time productively. Making Tax Digital for Individuals is already with us, Employers, employees and their professional advisers need to be aware of its implications. With specific regard to MTBfB, for small accountancy practices this is the time to A) review and B) redesign. At the CPAA Branch Representatives’ meeting on 25th August 2017 a discussion on what this means to small accountancy practices was led by Steve Vincent from the South West Branch. Business clients with a turnover above the VAT threshold. Business clients with turnover between £10,000 and the VAT threshold. Other clients: CICs, Charities, Churches, and other community organisations. No problem and no change management is required. These clients are generally a little more sophisticated in their approach and have accounting systems in place. They are used to interacting with their accountant on a quarterly basis. Generally the same as 2 above. Most of these clients are VAT registered so already have systems place. Clients frequently have limited financial resources. They are often relatively unsophisticated and potentially resistant to digital systems. In many cases they don’t give priority to record keeping, nor do they give consideration to record keeping solutions. Training them to use new systems is problematic. They are very sensitive to costs, £10 a month is a lot of money to them. They are used to and expect lots of time to get records ready. The records are often late and incomplete. These clients currently only interact with the accountant once a year. These clients aren’t likely to be included for a variety of reasons. Clearly the challenge is in category 4. We all have category 4 clients who need information and training. Whilst the category 4 clients are likely to prove to be the most problematic clients when changing to the new regime, careful consideration should be given to the time/fee ratio to ensure it remains favourable. Practices shouldn’t be afraid to reconsider a client relationship where this ratio becomes intolerable. The most important point to come from the Branch Reps discussion was ‘keep it simple’. Accountancy practices already have a structure in place. It is the existing structure that needs flexing to fit MTD requirements. The new timetabling for the introduction of MTD has given accountancy practices a lead-in time of 1 to 2 years. The redesign of the practice is therefore a 1 to 2 year project. Clients who have their own in-house accountancy software and are submitting VAT returns themselves will no doubt submit their own quarterly MTD returns and only need the minimum of support with MTD. Clients who use the accountant for VAT return submissions will slot into the practice’s existing deadlines for quarterly submissions. The quarterly MTD submission will become an extension of the VAT return preparation. Note that VAT submission deadlines are to revert back to last day of the month following the VAT quarter end. No more 7 day safety net. Clients who are not VAT registered and rely on the accountant for all their reporting requirements will still probably rely on the accountant. Therefore the accountant must ensure that the facility for quarterly MTD reporting is established within the practice. MTD is an opportunity to build and expand. In the same vein there is no one-fit-all solution. There never has been, so nothing is new. It is time to look at the systems in the practice and assess how they will adapt to MTD and quarterly reporting. It might be a simple software update, a move to cloud solutions or investment in new software systems. At this point it is essential that staff and associates are up to date with MTD proposals and what the practice will expect from them. Information and training within the practice is just as important as client updates. This is the time to be proactive with clients. Very little information is being given to business by Treasury or HMRC. It is up to the accountant to bring clients up to date and find the best fit for each business. It is a chance to contact clients, from general promotional correspondence, to full review of the professional relationship between the practice and individual businesses. As each year end comes around the accountant should spend a bit more time looking at the way the practice acts for each client and the input the client has to the accounting system. Redefine deadlines for submitting information and the allocation of work between the client and the practice staff/associates. Establish points of contact and preferred methods of contact. In my own experience I can quite easily process and review client records remotely, but some of my clients like to see me. If I am not actually at the premises they are unsure about what work has been done. The conclusion is to always let the client know about any work done on their accounts, especially if done remotely. Finally as accountants we must value ourselves. The time of charging the clients using an hourly rate is fast becoming a thing of the past. Whereas at one time a tax return might have taken 3 to 4 hours to complete the same return now may only take 1 to 2 hours with the assistance of modern software. Although the time has reduced, the knowledge and expertise has not and should be charged for accordingly.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T16:36:14", "url": "https://www.cpaa.co.uk/news/moving-your-practice-into-the-mtd-world/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
I go to great effort to keep disagreements with political opponents as respectful as possible. Still, there are times when I really struggle to comprehend how politicians can think and act with such massive contradiction and not appear to be bothered by it at all. In the case of my best friend Senator Blumenthal, who never did call me after ducking my question about Hobby Lobby last summer, I have concluded that there must be two separate brains in the same head that don’t communicate with each other…because it’s the most charitable explanation that makes any sense. Rarely have I been so disgusted (and that’s saying a lot!) as I have watching the U.S. Senate Democrats throw a tantrum over Hyde Amendment language in an anti-human trafficking bill — as though this was new and controversial, not something that has been around for decades and has clear majority support, including a majority of women. And here, the dissociation with reality is complete. There is much good in America, but at this point can we really be accused of doing too much to “save children”? Can Blumenthal, or any politician who stands by abortion on demand? I feel ashamed of this whole episode and of Connecticut’s role in it. Our state and our country can, frankly, do better.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T14:18:33", "url": "http://www.ctfamily.org/the-man-with-two-brains-blumenthals-amnesia-on-human-trafficking-bill/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Growing up on his grandparents' farm as a large family’s eldest son, he was responsible for a variety of chores, and exposed to a wide array of game meats and produce. MacIsaac's first experiences with cooking came early, helping his mom and grandmother prepare family feasts. He fell in love with the craft, and began working in industrial kitchens soon after; starting as a dishwasher and moving his way up to line cook. He received his culinary training through the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Program before plying his trade in fine dining establishments, both across the HRM and in Alberta. In the summer of 2013, Matt began researching and developing the concept for a gourmet burger restaurant, traveling across North America and studying the industry's best burger spots. The result was Krave Burger, a throwback to old-school burger joints, with a dash of modern flair. MacIsaac brings over a decade of kitchen experience, with a commitment to serving fresh, pure, carefully-prepared, and delicious meals. He takes great pride in supporting his community, and looks forward to working in the local restaurant scene for years to come.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T17:28:16", "url": "http://kraveburger.ca/about", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

If you're a bit of a Sia fan like myself then I'm sure you can appreciate the title of this blog post- a nice little play on words there my friends! After last weeks slowest of slow weeks I can't quite believe we're already on Thursday, this week has completely zoomed by! This blog post is a little overdue as those who follow me via Instagram (@louisemarguerite) will recognize a cheeky little snippet of this outfit from a few weeks back, but I found the full details on my memory card, which are all ready for a fresh post. My blouse is a piece from H&M and cost me around £10.99 if I can remember correctly? I bought it a little while back but it's one of those blouse's that are a little too sheer to wear on their own, meaning layering is essential otherwise 'ello bra! This was always a daring piece for me with the big old frilly sleeves, which certainly weren't my cup of tea when I first laid eyes on this garment but after some serious outfit consideration of what could be paired with this bad boy, I was sold. I did a little underlaying and threw over my super soft basic sweater from Zara, which has slightly cut off sleeves meaning that my frills were exposed for all to see! I then wore my charcoal Jamie jeans from Topshop that are still one of my favourite pairs of jeans in the entire universe. I've got to add a little pattern to such a monochrome looking outfit, right? Therefore, I brought out the big guns with my leopard print boots from New Look, which I mention every time.. have gone into sale .. SALE!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T04:56:37", "url": "http://www.louulia.com/2017/03/i-love-cheap-frills.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
This is a great option with Spring and Summer weather in the near future. How fun would it be to their Easter treats filled up in a fun wagon? I have this particular wagon and it is so fun to pull the boys and pull each other around in it. It’s great quality and can be used for so many other tasks as well. This bag is amazing and has been circulating the blogging community for a while now. I love the separable sections to keep all your necessities orderly and tidy. You can also design your own compartments with the adjustable dividers. It’s very versatile and a must if you travel a lot. It can also be used to carry electronics, a tote bag, you name it! If you are in the market for a carry on for your child, this is another great option to fill with their Easter gifts. A back pack could also work well as well! This would come in handy if you’re planning on going on any overnight stays in the future. This would be a great way to tell your kiddos about it! I love this idea because honestly, who doesn’t love a lot of storage options? This comes in handy because fingers crossed your child actually puts their dirty clothes in it and it could also encourage them to become more organized and tidy. It is a woven basket made of cotton rope and the workmanship is nothing shy of beautiful. I love this particular hamper because it doesn’t scream “KIDS” but is subtle enough to grow with them. It also comes in blue! This is another fun option if your child is interested in sewing. This would be a great way to incorporate their Easter gifts into this fun sewing basket. Bonus it also comes with sewing supplies and a tomato pin cushion! It is a very affordable option and would please almost any budding sewer. I hope this list inspired you to think outside the “basket” and introduce you to some special and creative options you wouldn’t have thought about! There are so many fun and different ways to put together an Easter basket your kids will love. These ideas are just a starting point. Feel free to get creative, take a photo and post to our Facebook page. I would love to see what you came up with! If you or anyone you know might like this post, feel free to share it. We would be so grateful!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T06:19:40", "url": "https://listotic.com/18-creative-easter-basket-alternatives-your-peeps-are-sure-to-love/20/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
To prepare for the January 2018 launch of the Eviction Prevention & Intervention Coalition (EPIC), LASP attorneys presented a CLE Nov. 30, 2017 at the Montgomery Bar Association. Susan Strong, Don Cheetham and Eileen Carroll, along with Emma Hertz of Montco Housing and Community Development, outlined procedures, claims, and defenses in landlord-tenant matters to prepare pro bono attorneys to represent tenants in District Justice Court. EPIC aims to prevent evictions and homelessness by providing both legal representation from volunteer attorneys and the social services available through Your Way Home. With a goal of serving people at the time they're facing eviction and BEFORE they become homeless, LASP has joined a broad-based Montgomery County partnership of government, nonprofit, philanthropic and community groups. After months of planning, the Eviction Prevention & Intervention Coalition (EPIC) was formally announced Nov. 14 at a Montgomery Bar Association gathering, and officially launches in January 2018. Over the past year, EPIC grew out of three converging initiatives. Your Way Home of Montgomery County conducted a 2016 research study in conjunction with HealthSpark Foundation of Colmar which identified eviction as a serious problem. Meanwhile, the Montgomery Bar Association planned and held an Access to Justice Summit in April 2017, which identified legal assistance to those facing eviction as an unmet legal need in the county. Finally, Legal Aid of Southeastern PA applied for and received funding to hire an attorney who would focus exclusively on assistance to tenants at risk of eviction. As Your Way Home describes the project, "...EPIC is a six-month pilot project designed to stabilize vulnerable families and individuals in Montgomery County who are facing eviction by providing them with free legal representation and social services on the day of their eviction hearing." In addition, EPIC "will provide limited financial assistance to prevent evictions, and referrals to the long-term financial and social supports needed to prevent future housing instability." LASP will contribute expertise and experience in landlord-tenant law to train volunteer attorneys to assist tenants at Magisterial District Justice court proceedings. "We're very happy to be aboard" said Eileen Carroll, regional LASP attorney for landlord-tenant issues. The work of EPIC was featured after the State of the County update Feb. 15, 2018 in Norristown.

UNITED NATIONS, May 4 -- What kind of "correspondents' association" devotes itself to trying to get an investigative news web site thrown out, then shifts to anonymous social media trolling falsely accusing the web site of terrorist funding? One at the United Nations -- that is, the UN Correspondents Association, with which Secretary General Ban Ki-moon continues to associate, even on "World Press Freedom Day" this week. Video here, explained below. Documents obtained by Inner City Press under the Freedom of Information Act show that UNCA officials met with the UN in 2012, asking for the expulsion of Inner City Press. The request was made in writing by Voice of America, which said it had the support of Reuters and Agence France Presse. On February 22, 2013 at an on the record meeting involving the leadership of the UN Department of Public Information and UNCA President Pamela Falk, Inner City Press specifically raised, as it had a month before, the anonymous social media posts accusing funding by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, which posts have triggered death threats. Falk sputtered, or rather screamed, that she didn't know who was behind the posts. But the account making Tamil Tiger false allegations posted photos from the Security Council stakeout, and stopped abruptly for ten days while Reuters correspondent Michelle Nichols went home to Australia. This account revived today, again falsely alleging Tiger and other funding, and then after coverage defending taciturn UN official Herve Ladsous (who has spoon-fed Nichols and Reuters' Louis Charbonneau, as well as Voice of America's Margaret Besheer and AFP's Tim Witcher) and defending @CBS, where Falk works. Falk has done nothing to stop or look into the false allegations of terrorist funding by her UNCA "leadership;" in fact, she ghoulishly took photographs when DPI conducted a non-consensual raid of Inner City Press' office on March 18, 2013. Falk then issued a legal threat from her @CBSNews.com e-mail address, telling Inner City Press to "cease and desist" from even asking why she took photos of the raid. Today, Falk has taken to promoting the video of her WPFD speech, as if to bolster UNCA's and her press freedom credentials despite the organization's attempt to get media thrown out of the UN and Falk's ghoulish photographing of the UN's raid on the office of this media. Here now, not anonymous like the UNCA trolls but on record as Inner City Press and the Free UN Coalition for Access is video of the UN's May 2 "World Press Freedom Day" event. As captioned twice in the video, one minute in, to show the public versus real face of Falk, the audio switches from the blathering May 2 speech to the on the record statements Falk made in front of DPI on February 22, 2013. This is, we believe, the true face of UNCA. Video here.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-26T14:40:06", "url": "http://www.innercitypress.com/unca1falkface050413.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Remarkable leaders understand that how they design and lead meetings determines how well their group functions. Meetings serve a critical function in the workplace. The meeting's job is to lead a group from wherever they are individually to a new place where they can have a shared perspective. We call this convergence; the merging of distinct perspectives into a unified whole. Teams that fail to converge around a shared perspective don't work. They hold different visions of what they should be doing. They work at cross-purposes. Decisions aren't clear, projects meander, and progress comes slowly or not at all. It is the job of the meeting to give everyone a shared perspective on their work, and the job of the leader to make sure meetings succeed. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that all well-designed meetings start with an opening meant to transition people from whatever they were doing before into the group work of the meeting. Welcome, introductions, segue, confirm the agenda, review the minutes: each of these activities is meant to connect the group to each other and to the work at hand. The opening invites people to come into the conversation together. A strong closing is the other feature all well-designed meetings share. Review and next steps, acknowledgements, or a moment to reflect. In every case, the leader makes sure everyone is clear on what the group learned, decided, and agreed to. At the close of a meeting, the leader ensures that everyone made it to their final destination and that they all now have the shared perspective they need to take on whatever comes next. that’s the basic framework for a functional meeting. A meeting doesn’t have to have an agenda to include these elements. Many people intuitively begin with small talk or some other warm up at the start of the meeting. Others automatically re-cap decisions and actions at the end of a meeting, regardless of whether there’s an agenda item prescribing it. When the opening or the closing don’t happen, however, the meeting very often fails. Decisions get unmade, people assume someone else was taking the next step, and progress stalls. The structure of a meeting matters. The structure matters not because we need predictability, or because people have some kind of Pavlovian response to a recap of action items that automatically turns them into productive superstars. The structure matters because it provides an effective, proven way to establish and evolve the relationships between a group of people. And really, it’s the relationships that matter most. Everything we’ve learned about teams that excel reinforces the importance of strong relationships. Google’s widely publicized study found that the highest performing teams weren’t necessarily full of the smartest or most talented individuals. Instead, the best performing teams trusted each other and enjoyed working together. They knew how to unify their perspective and apply the full wisdom of the group to each problem, so they could outperform other teams. Our work, our relationships, and our lives succeed or fail one conversation at a time. While no single conversation is guaranteed to transform a company, a relationship, or a life, any single conversation can. Speak and listen as if this is the most important conversation you will ever have with this person. It could be. Participate as if it matters. It does. Paul Axtell, author of Meetings Matter: 8 Powerful Strategies for Remarkable Conversations includes many quotes like this in his work. His award winning book is ostensibly about leading effective meetings. If you look a bit closer, though, you’ll quickly see that Paul’s work is actually about the conversations that create strong relationships between working teams. It just turns out that the main way we have important group conversations in the workplace is in meetings. Let’s tie this back to structure. A meeting opening is a critical conversation, and not simply because it’s polite or because your teammates need to be coddled. Effective leaders understand that the opening matters because for the meeting to work, you must get everyone from where they were before the meeting into the discussion with you. You can’t do that if you don’t know where they’re coming from or give them time to make that journey on their own. Sometimes when we meet, the journey is even harder. Sometimes we have no pre-existing relationship with the other people in the room. When we’re new to the group, we don’t yet have their trust, and because we don’t have this relationship yet, they have no reason to follow us on our journey. We must create the relationship by having a respectful and engaging conversation, establishing the connection that makes teamwork possible. We cannot tell people to trust us or follow us just because we’re great. We may actually be truly magnificent, but for someone coming from a really distant perspective, that’s irrelevant. We have to have the conversation that tells us where people are, and what’s what, before we can begin to bring them to where we need to be together. Sometimes, you have to go to them before they can come to you. The key to remarkable leadership is mastering the conversations that create strong relationships and converge groups around a shared perspective. Over the past several months, we worked with Paul Axtell to develop a series of meeting templates that guide leaders through some of the most important conversations you can have with your group. Rooted in a deep belief in the primacy of strong relationships, each template walks you through how to prepare and lead a masterful conversation with your team. For more, Paul’s book will give you deeper context and perspective. Practice will lead to proficiency and confidence. Designed by Paul Axtell, this set includes the guides and draft agendas for 5 key conversational processes for supervisors and managers who strive to be remarkable leaders. Establishing a relationship with your new group or team is simple, common sense, and straight forward - and something most leaders neglect. This guide walks you through a series of conversations that help you get to know each other and decide how you’ll work together as a team going forward. See more about this template. The value of one-on-one sessions is that they can truly be a back- and-forth, give-and-take discussion that leads to transparency, clarity, and progress. The best one-on-one meetings are led by the employee rather than the manager. This guide covers two one-on-one meeting formats that successful companies have put into practice with wonderful results. Both are initiated, designed, and led by the staff member, not the manager. While that’s not necessary, there is a powerful level of ownership gained by having the employee be responsible for the meeting. See more about these templates. Leaders seek alignment when defining goals, making decisions, or formulating strategic plans. When it’s important to have everyone in the group on board with the outcome, working through this series of deliberate and thoughtful questions can help achieve group alignment. See more about this template. This meeting format creates a way for someone facing a challenging situation or working to develop a new idea to gain new perspective and learn from colleagues.

Ever wanted to play the flute, but didn't know how to choose the right features or how to determine if it's in good condition? This is the article for you then! Make sure the case is in good condition. Check for dents, scratches, and sticker residue. It should stay firmly closed even after being a bit joggled. Make sure the velvet-like layer has not started to separate from the hard layer of the case. You can always purchase a new, universal case for you flute if the case if damaged, but that will be an added expense. Look for a metal or plastic tuning rod, which resembles a foot-long needle, inside the case. This can multi-function as a swab with a piece of cloth, and is an essential tool that should come with the flute. Check the flute pieces for major scratches, keeping in mind that most used flutes will have some tiny, hair-like scratches. Check for dents. These are far more detrimental than scratches, and even the smallest one can affect your playing. Check to make sure there are no missing parts or keys. Look on the inside of all the parts and make sure there aren't any hidden dents or marks on the inside. Play a few chromatic scales on the flute. This is to make sure all the notes are working correctly, and that you like the sound the flute produces. One flute will simply not play the same for two people. Attend a flute convention. This a great place to play all the different brands of flutes that are available, as well as to get great flute freebies like key paper. Vendors will have flutes on display, just for people to play as they walk around the convention. Decide what metal you want in your flute. The quality of the metal will affect the tone a lot. Most beginning flutes are nickel or silver plated nickel. Pure silver (sterling silver) is the next quality up. If you are purchasing an intermediate flute, a pure silver head joint or full flute is ideal. Next, there is the option of rose gold, which can run about the cost of a car, and there are even platinum or titanium flutes! The most important part of the flute is the head joint, so if you cannot afford the body and foot joint in a pricier metal, buy just the head joint. Watch out for gold plated lip plates. They don't affect tone at all and are just for looks. However a better quality riser, the short "chimney" that attaches the lip plate to the head joint, does improve tone. Consider the many options you have for the keys of your flute. These things often take experience to gain a preference. Open hole keys: These are recommended for advanced or intermediate players, and not beginners. Openings in the keys allow the air to go through when uncovered, and this leads to a fuller, more resonant tone. The open holes also create less air resistance, so it is easier to play notes. It will take some adjustment to switch from closed holes because you will have to cover the holes perfectly with your fingers for the note to sound correctly. Start out with plugs in the keys that are hardest to reach, so you can play normally, and work at playing without the plugs while you practice. Inline G key: This is a matter of personal preference and won't affect the tone. An inline G key just means that one key will be a bit harder to reach (see the image to the right). If you have small hands or are used to playing with an offset G key, it is fine to stick with that. The main reason an inline G key is preferred is for the pleasing look of the keys. B foot: You can buy a foot joint with a few extra keys that enables you to play one chromatic step lower than usual (a B). This is a good idea for intermediate or above players because they will probably come across the note their flute literature. Gizmo key: This key will usually be included in a B foot and makes it easier to play high C or C# (5+ ledger lines). Split E Mechanism: A split E mechanism divides the action of the upper and lower G keys. Normally the G keys close together; in a split E mechanism, that is still true, but the lower G can close when the third octave E natural is played. This provides ideal tone hole venting for the high E and can improve tuning and tone for a flutist. Purchase the flute, and any needed accessories. You will probably want a silver-polishing cloth (or other cloth specific to your metal) to remove fingermarks. A swab or flute snake is fun to have, but you can also use a strip of an old t-shirt and the tuning rod to clean out spit. Pad paper is essential to fix "sticky keys." (They make awful noises.) You can also buy thumb rests for the bottom of the flute to make it more comfortable. Try jazzing up your flute case with fun stickers or key chains. One essential item is to add a name tag to your flute case with contact information in case it gets lost. Enjoy your new flute! I'm thinking of asking my parents for a new flute. I'm in 10th grade and have been in the school band since fourth grade, but with no private instruction. What model and/or price range would work best? This depends a lot on your budget and your current skill-level. Of course, more expensive flutes may be of a better quality, while cheaper flutes might not sound as good. Perhaps you could get a private instructor and/or flute teacher you might know to help you, since they would be able to have a better idea of your skill-level, and therefore give you more precise advice. There is a pretty large range, depending on quality. You could pay anywhere between $150 and $800 for a beginner flute, all the way past $10,000 for a high quality performance grade flute. What if I have to buy a cheaper flute? Purchasing an inexpensive flute is a good option for the beginning student. There are excellent models available for under $500, or alternatively you can buy a used instrument. Make sure to check the flute thoroughly, because if there is something wrong, the flute will not sound good. While yard sale flutes are good for marching band because they are inexpensive, they are not good for wind ensembles. If you are unsure of something, ask a professional. If you have a private flute teacher, ask her to come with you to pick out a flute. Don't worry about hairline surface scratches if it is used in any way. wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors.

NASA's Deep Space Network is an international collection of antennas that support NASA's spacecraft missions as well as radar and radio observatories that explore the solar system and universe. Originally designed by JPL and built by General Dynamics, the antennas enable the Deep Space Network to communicate with existing flight missions such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spitzer Space telescope, Saturn explorer Cassini, as well as support future NASA space missions. General Dynamics has built nine 34-meter antennas for NASA's Deep Space Network. The beam waveguide-style antennas house sensitive electronics and systems in a room that is inside of the antenna's ground-based pedestal rather than in the center of the dish or reflector. This design makes it easier for technicians to maintain the equipment as well as implement technology upgrades. General Dynamics is also responsible for the construction, integration and testing for two new antennas, designated Deep Space Stations 35 and 36. There are three Deep Space Network facilities, located 120 degrees apart, in California, Spain and Australia. This strategic placement enables constant observation and communication as the Earth rotates, making the Deep Space Network one of the largest and most sensitive scientific telecommunications systems in the world. General Dynamics SATCOM Technologies is currently building two 34-meter (112-foot wide) beam waveguide antennas as part of NASA's modernization and transformation plan to continue scientific studies of the Earth as well as explore distant bodies in the solar system. The new antennas will be located at the Deep Space Network (DSN) facility in Canberra, Australia.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T19:58:07", "url": "https://gdmissionsystems.com/en/satellite-ground-systems/deep-space-network", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Thanks to NetGalley and Capstone for the opportunity to read and review Nice Girls Endure by Chris Struyk-Bonn!

The bullying is already bad enough on its own, but they send pictures of everything online for everyone to see. This book is a touching and inspiring story of the challenges we have to deal with in life and the different ways we can strengthen ourselves. 4.5 stars!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T22:07:40", "url": "https://hugsandkissesforbooks.com/category/overweight-issues/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Network equipment-building system compliance certification is awarded to equipment that meets Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) standards. Bell Labs established NEBS standards in the 1970s to standardize equipment that is used in Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) Central Offices (COs), and have amended the standards over time to account for technological advancements. If you need information about network equipment-Building system compliance Certification for inverters and converters, the answers below should be helpful. Does a certain organization issue NEBS certification? There is not a specific organization that issues NEBS certification. Rather, companies that are qualified to perform testing for NEBS certification requirements (e.g., MET labs) test equipment to see if it meets the standards for one of the three levels of NEBS certification. If the machinery meets a set of NEBS standards, it has the characteristics to become NEBS certified. What are the different levels of NEBS certification? There are three level of NEBS certification: Level 1, which is given to equipment that meets the personal safety requirements of GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE; Level 2, which is given to machinery that meets the specifications for an interior environment that is not subjected to exterior stressors (e.g. a data center); and Level 3, which is given to equipment that meets the safety requirements and operability requirements of GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE. What are examples of conditions that Level 3 equipment is designed to withstand? Equipment that has Level 3 NEBS certification is designed to perform under a variety of adverse conditions. It is frequently used in environments that feature unusual acoustics, have an unusual latitude, contain airborne contaminants, are prone to heavy vibration, have high humidity, and/or have extreme temperature fluctuations, to name a few. Is NEBS equipment used outside of the telecom industry? NEBS equipment such as inverters and converters is routinely used outside of the telecom industry. For example, machinery that has Level 3 NEBS certification is often perfect for marine applications and military applications. The need for NEBS equipment is determined by the demands of the application and not the industry in which the application is used. If your company needs inverters or converters that have network equipment-building system compliance certification, check out Exeltech’s great selection of equipment today. In addition to being NEBS certified, our equipment is also TUV – TL9000 certified and compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Certificate.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit on Thursday tossed out a challenge to the legality of Washington’s voter-approved background check law for person-to-person gun transfers. Earlier this month Jeff Even, with the Washington Solicitor General’s Office, told the panel the gun groups behind the lawsuit had “purely abstract and hypothetical” claims and lacked standing to challenge the statute since they had never been prosecuted under the new law. This week the panel agreed. “Appellants fail to demonstrate a genuine threat of imminent prosecution,” the panel said in a memo, before pointing out the law has seldom been used. The lawsuit, filed just weeks after the controversial referendum was approved by voters by a nine-point margin, was brought against state Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste by groups to include the Second Amendment Foundation, the Northwest School of Safety and the Firearms Academy of Seattle. Rejected in 2015 by a lower court, the panel heard both sides of the appeal earlier this month in brief oral arguments. The referendum, I-594, was backed by over $10 million in funds from billionaire philanthropists and gun control organizations but left both vagueness and non-compliance in its wake after it was approved by voters in 2014. This led lawmakers to make a series of modifications to the law earlier this year over lingering concerns. A similar ballot initiative in Nevada, which passed in 2016, has likewise been sidelined after that state’s attorney general deemed it unenforceable.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T18:16:39", "url": "https://www.guns.com/news/2017/10/27/court-rejects-challenge-to-washington-expanded-background-check-law", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

DANNY HOLLANDS has a simple solution to dealing with the expectation at Portsmouth this season - smile and enjoy it. Pompey are favourites for the League Two crown - Cambridge boss Richard Money declared he knows they will win the title - but they had to dig deep to see off the newly promoted Us after Adam Webster's first-half red card. A comedy own goal eventually proved to be their winner and Hollands feels the pressure is something the south coast outfit need to accept, having proven they can win ugly in front of a vocal 16,671 crowd. "You have to embrace it and you have to enjoy it," said the 28-year-old. "If you play with a smile on your face and give everything you have then it all comes together. We all work well for each other here and if everyone is pushing in the same direction you can achieve something. "A lot of people said we were favourites last season so it is not as simple as that, football is not played on paper. "Last year, the team might have crumbled when down to 10 men, but we showed our character. We stood up to the test in a way that showed we are moving forward as a squad. "Some of the players aren't known for doing the ugly side of the game, but they dug in. You had to throw your body on the line, do some extra running and everyone played their part." After Kwesi Appiah missed a golden chance for Cambridge, Ryan Taylor gave Portsmouth the lead by glancing home Miles Storey's left-wing cross. Webster's two needless tackles on Harrison Dunk earned him red just before the break, but Pompey extended their lead when Liam Hughes smacked a routine clearance against Tom Bonner and the ball rebounded in - with goalkeeper Chris Dunn credited with the own goal. Appiah's header ensured a tense ending but heroics from goalkeeper Paul Jones and young centre back Jack Whatmough saw Pompey hold firm. It was a first goal of the season for Appiah, who is still confident Cambridge can challenge at the top of the league. "I have played in this league before and I know what kind of players do well," said the Crystal Palace loanee. "When I look around our team I think we have got a good chance. We have got some good players and I have said that to the lads. "We have to believe it more and more every day. We have enough in that changing room."	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T05:13:26", "url": "https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/394973/Portsmouth-midfielder-Danny-Hollands-says-Pompey-must-embrace-promotion-pressure", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Some organizations Silicon Mountain employees have contributed time to include Meals on Wheels, Boulder Valley Humane Society, Boulder County Safehouse, Shared Parenting Program and the Woman's Wilderness Institute. In December 2004 the company, as well as a number of Silicon Mountain employees, donated enough money to Feed The Children to purchase an entire semi-truck of needed supplies and food to deliver locally to the Boulder community. In December of 2005 and 2006, we launched a campaign to raise enough money to buy an ark of animals for Heifer International. These animals offer hope to families worldwide who are poor and hungry by enabling them to secure food and a source of dependable income.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-21T17:07:14", "url": "https://www.smmdirect.com/page/about_community/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
In the wake of the resignation of Tony Faddell, the founder of smart thermostat maker Nest, the future is looking cloudy not only for the smart thermostat maker, but the broader smart home business as well. Nest, after all, was supposed to be the trailblazer that led us to the smart home revolution. When Google put down $3.2 billion to buy it in 2014, it appeared to make sense -- Google was already running much of our online lives, and this would give the company a way to run our offline lives as well. (Or, I suppose more accurately, make our offline lives become part of our online lives.) The charismatic Fadell seemed to be the right pioneer, given his product experience at Apple, which he could apply to Google’s more open computing vision. But Nest proved to be a less-than-ideal poster child. The company also fielded very public complaints about faulty software that, as the New York Times reported, literally left people in the cold. Then, earlier this year, Nest announced that it would stop supporting the Revolv, a smart home hub that it acquired along with a smart appliance firm of the same name in 2014. All of these developments served, in some capacity, to highlight problems consumers are having with the smart home market. It sounds pretty great to have thermostats, light bulbs, ovens and security systems that anticipate our every move. The reality has been something less wonderful -- a fractured market of occasionally buggy appliances that work with some, but not all, of the systems out there. And, perhaps most tellingly, despite the public problems Nest was facing, no single company has positioned itself as an alternative. So beyond the early adopters, consumers right now are having some trouble getting aboard the smart home express. For people who don’t have the time to sort out whether their light bulb will talk to their smart speaker -- and to come up with passwords for all those accounts -- the smart home still seems to be part of a fictional "Jetsons"-esque future. A survey from the consulting firm Accenture found early this year that some people had actually abandoned their smart home appliances. Many said they were worried about what implications having smart devices held for their privacy and security. They added they were particularly worried about getting hacked -- an understandable concern if you’re trusting, say, a smart security camera with your safety. Others had a much more prosaic, but no less troubling concern: they found the set-up process too complicated. For most people, having to find out if your lightbulb will work when you hit your digital switch is too much of a hassle -- particularly when you have a reliable low-tech alternative. Add in the worry that any device you bought could become a paperweight two years later because the company’s no longer supporting it? That makes it seem hardly worth it to invest in the system at all. The smart home market is certainly still promising -- but that, by definition, means it’s an area with its fullest potential ahead of it. Amazon’s Echo, the forthcoming Google Home, and the rumored “Siri-in-a-box” are all appealing because of what they could do down the line -- act as the personal concierge that can follow you from your home to your car to your workplace. But right now, these home hubs feel like a novelty rather than an essential part of our lives. And without firms such as Nest pushing those developments, hubs lose a great deal of appeal. Even the greatest hub needs spokes. That’s particularly true if the intelligent voice assistants that power those hubs make their way into our smartphones. If Siri-in-a-box can do everything Siri-in-my-smartphone can do, there’s no real reason to buy it. Sure, maybe Google Home can buy me movie tickets, but I’m not going to buy a separate appliance if my smartphone -- which is also sitting on my kitchen counter -- can do the same. The added appeal of the home hub, at least for me, is as a way to set up and control my appliances and not have to clutter my phone up with an app for every single appliance. Nest and Google had a shared vision of making not just an innovative product, but an innovative network that could support a number of appliances to make our lives better. That’s an appealing vision. But, right now, it’s one in need of a new banner carrier. Unfortunately, visions of the Smart Home that media has shown us seems to be great in theory but not so much in reality. At least not for the near future. But that does not mean society shouldn’t prepare for it. Less than half our population is tech savvy enough to benefit from such a home. But that time is coming and we should help one-another gain the skills to benefit from new technology. Please support our efforts to do just that. But BLM’s absence from Facebook’s targeting program looks all the more stark in the wake of high-profile revelations from a Facebook news curator who told Gizmodo that he and his colleagues had to “inject” Black Lives Matter into Facebook’s “Trending News” section because it was having a difficult time gaining traction. It also hearkens back to a controversial moment in 2014, when protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police killing of Michael Brown blanketed Twitter feeds. Facebook feeds were instead saturated with posts about the “ice bucket challenge,” a boisterous viral campaign to raise awareness for the brain disease ALS. The success of that effort, which according to the ALS Association raised $115 million — nearly six times the group’s annual budget — shows what a favorable algorithm ranking can do for a campaign. When software engineers are contracted to develop and algorithm, this is done from a standpoint that provides “Plausible Denial” for the entity issuing the contract.

ERNIE BALL/MUSIC MAN made the EDWARD VAN HALEN between 1991 and 1995 with approximately 6000 made in total. They have a beautiful bookmatched figured maple top on a basswood body. The top were hand stained (usually red, amber blue or purple with a few greens) - but this stain often fades to a much lighter color . A very small number were made with solid black or gold finishes. The bridge was a choice between a strings through the body hardened steel bridge or a Music Man licensed Floyd Rose tremolo. Pickups are two zebra bobbin DiMarzio custom humbuckers controlled by a 500K volume pot and 3-way selector switch. The volume control is labelled "Tone" - a sort of EVH joke. According to Sterling Ball however, Ernie Ball / Music Man were unable to manucture a sufficient number of guitars to satisfy EVH's accountants and the signature model was withdrawn in 1995 to be replaced by the Music Man Axis model.

In the course of reviewing and monitoring homeownership projects using Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidy, the Bank has encountered a variety of financial structures involving deferred payment loans, or “soft loans,” made by the sponsor to the homebuyer, and shared equity appreciation agreements, where the homebuyer must share a portion of the appreciated value of the home with the sponsor upon resale of the unit. The Federal Housing Finance Board’s AHP Regulation requires the Bank to perform an analysis of sources and uses to determine each project’s need for subsidy. However, the Regulation does not address, and the Finance Board has not provided guidance on, how to treat and value these financial structures. In addition, these structures raise other regulatory and policy issues that the Bank is working to resolve at this time. If repayment proceeds from these instruments are factored into the project’s sources of funds, the result is often a surplus of funds, thus obviating the need for AHP subsidy. The Bank is seeking regulatory guidance from the Finance Board on how to treat and value these structures under the AHP rules. Until the Bank receives that guidance, the Bank may not be able to disburse funds to existing projects with these features. Please note that projects funded under the Bank’s IDEA or WISH programs are not affected by this issue. The Bank is committed to pursuing a rapid resolution of this issue.

For example, you are doing sampling if your experiment involves measuring an experimental unit more than once (sometimes called "subsampling" by scientists). You are using covariate if you are measuring an additional explanatory variable. None means you have no specialized features and have taken no additional measurements. Your RCBD Single Factor analysis will be modified if it includes specialized features, such as Sampling or Covariate (or their combination). In later steps in the module, you must access these choices in gray boxes (like the one at right). To show you how to analyze a RCBD Single Factor experiment, a dataset is needed. You can either use one of the example data sets provided (gray box at right) or your own data. For your first run through a module, it can be helpful to download and use one of the example datasets, so you can see exactly how SAS looks throughout the analysis for your particular specialized features. Then run the module with your own data.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T10:28:15", "url": "http://dawg.utk.edu/rcbd/rcbd_single_2.htm", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The line between carrier and information carried has historically been bright. With traditional carriers optimized for specific applications - the line between content and network has been a distinct boundary. The postal service transmits content in the form of letters. The telegraph network transmitted content in the form of telegrams. The telephone network transmits content in the form of audible communications. With postal, telegraphy and telephony services, there was generally one monopoly provider of each network service, over which end users could interact with any person, any content, anywhere. Things became murky starting in the 1960s. Computers were introduced to the network. Some computers helped operate the telecommunications network; some computers were interacted with over the telecommunications network; and some computers did both, operating the network at peak capacity and offering data processing services during off peak hours. Recognizing the innovative and economic promise of computer networks, the FCC launched the Computer Inquiries in order to ensure that computer networks could acquire the telecommunication services they needed to grow. Computer scientists engaged in taking a telephone network optimized for voice and retrofitting it for communications between computers. The telephone network wasn't designed for computer communications - but they would innovate until they had a new network, a computer network utility, that provided communications for computers much like AT&T had provided communications for humans. The first attempt of the FCC to distinguish between this computer and that computer was a muff. Focusing on the technology, the FCC attempted to divine which computers were data processing services and which were communications. This paradigm failed to establish a bright line. There was a big gray area in the middle that led to a plethora of case-by-case analysis and the eventual collapse of the Computer I model. In the mean time, Paul Baran, who wrote the RAND paper on packet switching, lectured at the FCC; Larry Roberts, who was head of ARPANet, left ARPA, consulted with FCC staff, and then set up the first commercial packet-switched network Telenet,; and Steve J. Lukasik, Director of ARPA, became the FCC's Chief Technologist. ARPANet's paradigm for computer networks became infused into FCC policy considerations. The Internet was, by design, a computer network, connecting otherwise incompatible physical networks, in order to support the research and innovation occurring at the ends (i.e., the end-to-end design). As shown by the Internet Hourglass, the Internet design was that of a Lego set. The Internet could be provisioned over any physical network: fiber, wireless, satellite, copper, optical. The Internet could support any application: email, world wide web, games. One layer did not interface with another. For example, email applications did not interface with the physical Ethernet layer. Each layer's services were offered by a different provider (telephone company, ISP, application service provider, content provider), with different equipment (switches, routers, servers), from different vendors. The strength of the Internet is that the Internet itself is a very simple middle network protocol that enables the end user to use it over any network and support any enhancements from any source. In Computer II, the FCC adopted the basic service versus enhanced service dichotomy. This vision of how computer networks are built on top of telecommunications networks focused on the service provided to the end user and not the technology, and tracks the Internet layered model. The bottom physical network layer is the basic telecommunications service, provided by a carrier with market power who has both incentive and ability to discriminate. Imposed on this carrier are regulatory safeguards in order to ensure an open communications platform upon which innovators can build computer networks. The enhanced services are "unregulated" but are the primary beneficiary of the Computer Inquiry policy. The FCC's purpose was to identify what is the basic telecommunications service that is subject to regulatory obligations and what is not. While there are many layers to the layered model, the FCC was only concerned with identifying one boundary: the line between the physical network and any enhancement above that network. Having identified a network carrier upon which innovation can take place, the open communications platform has been established and anything more is an enhancement. You would never identify a common carrier over a common carrier; that would be a pointless redundancy that adds nothing. Once an open network platform has been established, identifying another open network platform doesn't make the platform any more open. The FCC also had no need to distinguish between the computer network, applications, or content; they were all enhancements. The Computer II enhanced services versus basic services model would flourish for two decades. During the Computer Inquiries, there was generally one monopoly provider of network service, over which end users could interact with any computer network, any application, any person, any content, any where. When the commercial ISP market was unleashed, end users generally had one ISP, but they could have more, and they could switch ISPs with ease. By 1998, the commercial Internet had been unleashed and the Telecommunications Act had been passed. Sen. Stevens from Alaska asked the FCC if the Internet was not in fact harming the Universal Service Fund that ensures affordable telecommunications service in rural and high cost markets. The Steven's Report was one of the FCC's first articulations of Internet policy. Responsive to the Senator's concerns, the FCC noted that Internet networks, at that time, were built acquiring telecommunications services from telephone companies. The more people used the Internet, the more Internet providers and end users consumed telecommunications services, and the more money is contributed to the universal service fund. An ISP provides "Internet access." That is the one service that the end user must acquire from the ISP. Having acquired Internet access from an ISP, the end user then can install the applications of choice (email, world wide web, USENET) to access content of choice. Here the FCC is articulating the classic Internet layered model where the end user (and the ISP) is acquiring telecommunications service from the telephone company, acquiring Internet access from the ISP, and utilizing any application from any source to interact with any information from any source. [Steven's Report paras. 73-82]. The FCC then said something surprising…. and unnecessary. the provision of Internet access service crucially involves information-processing elements as well; it offers end users information-service capabilities inextricably intertwined with data transport. More generally, though, it would be incorrect to conclude that Internet access providers offer subscribers separate services -- electronic mail, Web browsing, and others -- that should be deemed to have separate legal status, so that, for example, we might deem electronic mail to be a "telecommunications service," and Web hosting to be an "information service." The service that Internet access providers offer to members of the public is Internet access. Steven's Report at 80 (emphasis added). "The Internet is a bundle that cannot be dissected," the FCC attempted to argue. It wasn't true. And it wasn't necessary. The FCC had already argued that Internet access over dial-up, email, the World Wide Web, and other applications, were information services. Again, Computer Inquiry policy is to identify the physical network with market power, classify that as basic telecommunications service, and impose safeguards to ensure an open platform upon which one can build cool stuff. Having identified the basic telecommunication service, anything more is an enhancement. It is a bright line test. The FCC's conclusions were consistent with precedent. But the FCC was anxious about fending off attempts to regulate the Internet, and thus attempted to defend against the threat of dissection. The end-user and the ISP still purchased telecommunications service from a telephone company, using equipment from a telecommunications vendor (i.e., a Nortel SS7 switch). The end-user could use that telephone line to call anyone, connect to any ISP, place a fax, and anything else. An end-user could subscribe to one of multiple ISPs in a market. With standardized dial-up modems over telephone lines, switching ISPs was relatively easy. If an ISP provided inferior service, the end-user could simply switch providers. The Internet service is offered by Internet service providers using routers and services from Internet vendors (i.e., CISCO, SUN). Once connected to the ISP, the consumer could use any DNS service. The late 1990s, the Internet community was still embroiled in the Internet governance wars. Alternative DNS roots were set up and were used, although generally consumers simply used the DNS service of their ISP. Once connected to the ISP, the consumer could use any application, interact with any content, and communicate with any person anywhere. ISPs generally provided software with the account, but alternative software, such as the Netscape browser, frequently proved preferable. Hotmail, a web-based email service, provided end users email service that was not tied to their ISP, allowing end users to access the email from anywhere and take the email service with them if they switched ISP service. There was no interface directly between the telecommunications service and the Internet service. Whatever "inextricably intertwined" meant, the Internet remained a collection of Lego blocks that could be snapped together and taken back apart at the choice of the end user. During the late 1990s, there was some competition among telephone providers as CLECs attempted to enter the market. End users generally subscribed to one ISP but could easily switch ISPs. With Internet access, end users could interact with any computer network, any application, any person, any content, anywhere. In the [Steven's] Report, the Commission found that Internet access service is appropriately classified as an information service, because the provider offers a single, integrated service, Internet access, to the subscriber. [Internet over Cable para. 36 (emphasis added)] The Internet over Cable proceeding swapped "inextricably intertwined" with "single, integrated Internet service" and proceeded. There was one significant difference. Now the provider of the physical network and the Internet service was one BIAS provider. The end user no longer acquired telephone service from the telco and Internet service from an ISP. Now the end user acquired from the BIAS provider the physical network service and Internet access services, as well as, blundled with it, cable TV and telephony services. The question before the FCC was whether this should be the broadband world we were entering, or whether the BIAS provider should unbundle network telecommunications service from Internet service, thereby allowing the end user to access an ISP of choice (a.k.a. Open Access). The answer of the FCC was a policy decision that those investing in broadband should be able to retain maximum revenue and not be forced to unbundle their network investment to competitors - thereby increasing incentives to invest in broadband. The FCC did not want to put providers in a position of investing in networks only to have to unbundle them for competitors. Therefore the FCC adopted the "inextricably intertwined" / "single, integrated service" language of the Steven's Report, concluded that there was no severable telecommunications service that could be unbundled. The goal was a market with competition between different physical networks, with investment in DSL, fiber, cable, optical, powerline, and wireless networks, that would compete, discipline network providers, and serve end users. The competitive broadband Internet access market did not materialize. The result was a non-competitive Internet over broadband market, that tilted towards cablecos, where end users faced high switching costs, where the provider would have both incentive and ability to discriminate, and where there would be no common carriage policy protecting against discrimination. Discriminatory behavior occurred, and calls for network neutrality emerged. The Internet had not changed. The Internet still followed the layered model. The Internet still connected incompatible physical networks (DSL, fiber, cable, optical, wireless). The physical network underneath could have been unbundled and sold to the consumer as a network service; the BIAS providers simply elected not to do that. Instead, the end user had a choice of one physical network provider in a market that was simultaneously the one choice of Internet service and was bundled with cableTV and telephone service. Switching bundled network services was difficult, involved truck rolls and installation of different proprietary equipment, and generally did not occur if it could occur. During the 2000s, BIAS providers emerged to dominate the Internet access market. End users generally subscribed to one provider which bundled broadband Internet, cableTV, and TV service. There was no choice of alternative Internet access service; there was no ability to acquire underlying telecom service. Above the Internet layer, the end user continued to be able to interact with any DNS service, any application, any content, and any person anywhere. The experiment of the elimination of common carriage collided with discriminatory behavior of the network providers. Consistent with one hundred plus years of jurisprudence, network providers have the incentive and the ability to discriminate, did so, and that's a problem. But if the network provider did not want to unbundle the physical network layer and sell it to end users, where should the line be drawn that delineates the telecommunications service? The answer of the Open Internet 2015 Order is that the Internet network layer provided a communications network service where information is transmitted to end-points of the end users choice, without change in form or content. The change in form and content takes place at the ends, with the applications interacting with content. If Internet access could now be classified as a telecommunications service, why had it not been classified as a telecommunications service before? Because before the basic telecommunications service in the form of the telephone network had already been identified. Anything build on top of the communications carrier platform was an enhancement. Taking the telephone network service and turning it into a different network was an enhancement. Having identified the telecommunications platform, common carriage goals of stopping discrimination and supporting communications had been achieved; identifying a carrier over a carrier did not add any additional protection. So in the dial-up world, Internet access would not be a telecommunications service because dial-up telephone service already was. Now, Internet access service was the first physical network service sold to the end user that provided the end user the ability to communication with anyone anywhere. Below Internet access service there was no other common carrier communications platform. Thus, identifying this as the communications platform upon which people could communication and do cool things was reasonable. Continuing the BIAS provider model, end users generally subscribed to one provider which bundled broadband Internet, cableTV, and TV service. There was no choice of alternative Internet access service; there was no ability to acquire underlying telecom service. Above the Internet layer, the end user continued to be able to interact with any DNS service, any application, any content, and any person, anywhere.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T10:05:51", "url": "http://cybertelecom.org/ci/layers.htm", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

We preach and preach that you should be blogging regularly. We share stats about how much better companies with an ongoing blogging effort do at generating leads. We practically beg you to write regular blog posts! While blogging is excellent for your Search Engine Optimization efforts, it can also be a huge driver of other tactics you employ online. Here're some ways to reuse your blog posts. If you've held the position that your company doesn't have anything to share in social media, you're wrong. One great "side affect" of blogging regularly is that it will feed your social media efforts. In fact, a single blog post can yield several social posts. How's that you ask? Simple, after writing a blog post, you can take several facts from the post and turn them into short social media updates with links to your blog post. Using HootSuite or Buffer you can then schedule the social posts to be sent on different days in the future. Writing just one blog post per week can give you a new social post to share for six additional weeks. What's more, as your posts age on your blog, you can go back to them and reshare them on the social sites you participate in. Another great benefit to sharing your blog posts in social media is that you give your followers the ability to help amplify your content through Likes, Shares, Retweets and +1s. This also plays a part in your SEO. Beyond the free content you make available on your blog, you also want to provide some higher value content in exchange for a lead's email address. If you write multiple posts about a single topic you can combine them into a longer format ebook. Starting with a longer ebook idea is a great way to brainstorm blog posts. Take the larger ebook and break it down into sections. Each section can become one or more blog posts depending on how in depth they are. After you finish all of the blog posts and merge them into a longer ebook, be sure to go back to the blog posts and add a call to action at the bottom of each, linking to a landing page where a visitor can download the longer form ebook in exchange for their email address. Last week I wrote about MailChimp's improved email automation feature for both free and paid accounts. Your blog posts make great content for your email campaigns as well. You can take the entire post and format it as an email or provide just a basic description and plug in a button to read the rest on your blog. If you use email marketing automation, your blog posts make great nurturing emails to keep leads warm and provide added value in the form of education. Want to make the sales process more effective for your salespeople? Arm them with great resources that they can share with leads when they are working with them. Are there common questions that almost every sales prospect has? Turn the answers into blog posts that can be formatted for printing and handed to a buyer during the sales process. Once a salesperson closes a deal, what content would be helpful to make the onboarding efforts more effective and make the new customer feel even better about their buying decision? Take those topics and make them blog posts that get emailed to the new customer. If the customer has a great experience with your product or service, turn their success story into a case study blog post that sales people can also use to close more leads into customers. It may seem daunting to write a blog post once a week, but when you start putting all of the mileage that you can get out of a single post into perspective, you see it's clearly worth the effort. Your blog should be feeding everything you do in your inbound marketing strategy. Blogging makes all of your inbound tactics better.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-25T10:34:56", "url": "https://www.protocol80.com/blog/2014/11/05/4-ways-to-reuse-your-blog-posts/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
One approach utilized to maintain rocketeers' dental health isn't exactly rocket science. It's sugarless biting gum-and it's certainly not simply been linked to healthy pearly whites, it's been found to possess an amount of other perks too. In 1964, NASA started offering rocketeers sugarless biting periodontal for their area purposes. Given that the rocketeers were supplied by means of a pipe, their periodontals had a tendency to swell given that they were not actually nibbling their meals. Biting periodontal assisted maintain their pearly whites and also gum tissues healthy and balanced and solid. Sugar-free gum has been actually shown to help reduce the occurrence of tooth decay– an ailment thought to affect half of all grownups and to become the absolute most common chronic childhood years disease of youth. It is actually predicted that Americans invest $60 billion a year to manage pearly white decay-and it is actually loan properly spent. Dental caries can induce missing teeth, which may bring about malnourishment. The health and wellness advantages of gum tissue do not stop there certainly. The makers of Spear sugarless gum, Cadbury Adams USA LLC likewise provide an item called Trident White. Depending On to Cadbury Adams-the USA service device of confectionery and drink leader Cadbury Schweppes (NYSE: CSG)– the gum tissue certainly not simply bleaches pearly whites as well as assists prevent spots, it also gives additional dental wellness benefits. It features Recaldent, a remineralizing active ingredient that helps enhance teeth. The gum's brightening agent is fully nonabrasive (unlike gum tissues that make use of cooking soda to whiten) as well as carries out not add to pearly white level of sensitivity. An added benefit of eating gum: It is actually low in calories. Sweets totally free gum often has around 5 fats. That indicates it can be a brilliant method for dieters to help delight snack food cravings. For example, Spear Sprinkle is actually a sugar-free periodontal that Cadbury Adams says was really developed to be an excellent sampling treat option that benefits your pearly whites. The periodontal is an unique mix of textures-a fluid facility surrounded by soft, chewy gum as well as a sweet, crunchy exterior shell-and it is available in pair of unexpected flavors: peppermint along with vanilla and also strawberry with lime. • • Cleans pearly whites after dishes.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T17:23:13", "url": "http://healthbase.biz/unwrapping-the-health-benefits-of-chewing-gum/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
“You’re listening to KNKX here on NPR One.” That’s a familiar phrase to NPR listeners here in the Puget Sound Region via the NPR One app on your smart phone. If KUOW is your home station, you’ll hear that welcoming phrase. Comcast and National Public Radio recently launched the NPR One app on Xfinity X1, enabling X1 customers to access NPR’s popular content directly on the TV. No more carting around the phone in your pocket or wearing headphones inside the house. Rolling out to capable X1 set-top boxes in the coming weeks, all programming will be accessible over the internet by just saying “NPR” into the X1 Voice Remote. NPR content also will be integrated into Xfinity on Demand menus, appearing alongside related content including news, music and more. “We continue to focus on putting people’s favorite content and experiences on a single platform, Xfinity X1,” said Nancy Spears, Vice President of Strategy and Execution for Comcast. X1 customers can say “NPR” or “NPR One” into the voice remote to launch the app, or access it directly via the apps menu on X1. NPR One joins other popular internet apps including Netflix, YouTube, Pandora and iHeartRadio on the X1 platform.

You’ve heard it before, but like moving a big machine, our industry takes time to adjust and seems to need some coaxing from time to time. The harsh reality is that we are very poor educators, marketers, and ambassadors. Wait, let me clarify that before you jump to the comments section to defend why we have some of the best cheerleaders of any industry (you rabble-rousers know who you are). I was given the privilege of presenting, as an NSCA Ignite! Ambassador, to two high school business classes—a total of about 40 students. These classes include mostly junior and senior students. They are the students that could alleviate industry-wide hiring challenges. Yes, some of them mentioned they want to be a chef, fashion designer, or hospitality manager. So I spent a bit of time explaining how technology shapes each of those seemingly non-related fields because, overall, they are a group we know we should be targeting. Not surprisingly, when asked what audiovisual and commercial technology meant to them, the three top answers were phones, TVs, and FaceTime. This set the stage very well and gave me an opportunity to blow their minds with what AV is, what it touches, and how seamlessly it is integrated in their lives—so much that they don’t even realize that there is an entire industry that makes it all happen. We are truly the wizards behind the curtain. AV is in stealth mode. It is time to break out because we need people. We need young, bright, passionate people to help keep the industry moving forward and diversify and strengthen our technologies, companies, and reputations. We are a close-knit industry. We love to talk to ourselves. We love to educate each other, and we love to peacock for our colleagues. Imagine what would happen if we learned how to flip that dialogue to the “outside world.” The most transformative moments during my discussion with the students were sparked by pictures. I showed them an image of an interactive exhibit at a museum, a baseball stadium, a Super Bowl halftime show, distance learning classrooms, dynamic art, broadcast studios, control rooms, etc. They soaked it in. In fact, we spent the most time discussing how the (very high-end) distance learning classrooms work. Why? That’s the world they know; the world they are familiar with. If you’d like more information about the feedback I collected from these students, or if you have any questions about my experience and how to get involved with being an AV ambassador (tip: don’t use the word AV) please contact me at gsansivero@fsrinc.com.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T12:05:37", "url": "https://www.avnetwork.com/av-network-blogs/3005", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
On par with the main ceremony at Army Headquarters, Security Forces Headquarters-Jaffna (SF-J) celebrated the Sri Lanka Army�s 61st Anniversary with pride and splendor on Sunday (10.10.2010). Commander SF-J Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe hoisted the Army Flag before officers and other ranks who had fallen in line at the parade square sang the Army song and observed two minute silence to remember fallen war heroes.

The first touches of winter have gone from the hills. The air is warm. The forecast has been for stormy weather but with mild southerly winds. Wanting to have some time in the hills before heading south for the Kendal Mountain Festival, where I'll be on The Great Outdoors stand with Emily Rodway and Alex Roddie late Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday, I decided to wander up a favourite, Meall a'Bhuachaille. It's a good hill when the forecast is for stormforce winds and cloud cover on the higher Cairngorms. Despite knowing the forecast was for mild weather the warmth still surprised me. A few strides into the forest and my jacket came off - and stayed off until I reached the summit. Just a base layer. In mid-November! That's not often possible in the middle of summer. The wind was strong too, gusting 30-35mph on the top. I was glad I hadn't gone any higher. The Cairngorm Plateau was enveloped in dense mist. I'd left late hoping that at dusk the sun would cut below the clouds and give some good light, as happens quite often. It did, but only for a few fleeting minutes and then the greyness closed in again. Cold weather is meant to return over the weekend. Maybe there'll be snow again by the time I return north. In the meantime if you're at the Mountain Festival stop by the TGO stand and say hello. As they say Chris, "It's all about.....timing" I went up there on Tuesday hoping for some views from the summit but the cloud stayed stubbornly below it. As I drove back to Aviemore the cloud had lifted and the sun came out. Hey-ho.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T10:36:25", "url": "http://www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2018/11/mild-windy-in-cairngorms.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Starting today, all new WordPress installations are provisioned with 5.0.3. Mass upgrade to WordPress 5.0.3 is scheduled for January the 29th, 2019. If you are not comfortable yet with Gutenberg, install the Classic WordPress Editor as a plugin. If you would like to defer the upgrade to WordPress 5.0.3 for a few days, in order to complete your testing, open a support request. WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” was released on December the 6th. How well WordPress 5.0 is accepted by the community. The impact it will cause on existing 4.9 installations. We’re closely monitoring developments in the community, and we’ll send out another update once we’re confident, that 5.0 is stable enough to be scheduled for mass deployment. However you need not wait! You can upgrade to 5.0 any time you wish, by contacting our support. WordPress 5.0 is due for release on the 19th of November, although the exact date is still unclear. WordPress 5.0 is most likely just going to include the planned features of the 4.9.8 release, with the addition of the official debut of the Gutenberg editor. The cornerstone significance of which, signals the new major release version of 5.0. This was planned as a way to give people time to test Gutenberg, before deciding to make the switch. However, since the new release will be out near holiday season (Black Friday, Christmas and New Years), it can potentially cause problems with many sites, if not tested, particularly e-commerce ones! At Pressidium, due to our engineering background we value the stability of our clients more than anything else, no matter how fancy or new it might be. Normally we give 15 days of “grace period” after each official WordPress release, so that there’s enough time to sort out any issues before proceeding to mass upgrading. However, due to the above circumstances, the “grace period” for 5.0 will be extended well after the holidays; the exact date depending on the actual release. This will protect your business during the hectic period of Christmas and New Years, and give you time to test Gutenberg on your site. Any security fixes that will be released during holiday season will be patched to all client websites. We’ll only defer the Gutenberg upgrade. Everything else is maintained as usual. Wait for the official release and then do a manual upgrade. 👉 Remember to use the staging environment of your WordPress site to run any tests, and not the production one. 👉 You can clone a copy of your live site to staging, by using the Cloning tool from the Dashboard. 👉 If you need help with the Gutenberg plugin, please take a look at our Gutenberg Step by Step article series as well as our tutorial on how to get started! As we said before, the exact release date for WordPress 5.0 is not known. As soon as the official date is known, we’ll send out a second announcement for our official mass upgrade dates.

The center, located near the church’s West Coast headquarters in Hollywood, would occupy the nearly five-acre studio property the church bought last year from Los Angeles public TV station KCET for $42 million. The station would elevate the public profile of a religion that has mostly relied on pamphlets and books by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, to proselytize for new members. “The church plans to establish a central media hub for our growing world network of churches and to move into the production of religious television and radio broadcasting,” said Karin Pouw, a spokeswoman for Church of Scientology International, in an email. She said there is no timetable for when operations would begin. Scientology TV could be similar to Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network or the Trinity Broadcast Network. Trinity creates Christian programming at a production center in Irving, Texas, and airs it on TV stations and cable channels, said Rick Ross, whose non-profit Rick A. Ross Institute in Trenton, New Jersey, maintains an online archive of data on cults and controversial movements. Elayne Rapping, a pop-culture expert and professor of American studies at the University of Buffalo, told Reuters she is not surprised by the church’s move. The celebrity of controversial members like Cruise and Travolta is a double-edged sword for the church, Rapping said. Cruise is one of the world’s biggest movie stars, but his divorce from actress Katie Holmes has fueled speculation that the couple disagreed on raising their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, as a Scientologist and sparked a flurry of news coverage about the church. John Travolta was recently sued for libel by a Los Angeles man who wrote a book about his alleged homosexual encounters with the “Saturday Night Fever” and “Pulp Fiction” star. The Hollywood studio would complement the church’s existing production facility, Golden Era Productions, near Hemet, California, which produces DVDs and “other audiovisual materials that comprise a large part of the Church’s religious and educational materials,” Pouw said. Scientologists are likely to buy time on local TV stations to air shows as other religions do, said Bill Carroll, vice-president of Katz Television Group, which advises TV stations on programming. They could create their own cable channel, he said, but could also get a license from the Federal Communications Commission to operate a broadcast channel by adhering to FCC rules on children’s programming, news and other regulations. The church took physical control of the broadcast center, located on Sunset Boulevard near Hollywood, in April when KCET employees moved TV station operations to a rented facility.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T14:55:09", "url": "http://nhne-pulse.org/scientologists-plan-hollywood-tv-studio/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
This illustrated multicultural children's book presents classic Chinese fairy tales and other folklore—providing a delightful look into a rich literary culture. Chinese folktale tradition is as colorful and captivating as any, but the stories themselves still are not as well-known to Western readers as those from The Brothers Grimm, Mother Goose, or Hans Christian Andersen. Tales of a Chinese Grandmother presents a collection of 30 authentic Chinese tales. These classic stories represent the best of the Chinese folklore tradition, and are told here by the beloved Lao Lao—the grandmother in the nineteenth-century Ling household. The result of a long and proud storytelling tradition, these Chinese stories are sure to delight adults as well as children of all ages.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T20:14:08", "url": "https://www.booksactuallyshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/tales-of-a-chinese-grandmother", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
A guy comes in here once, unaware a pigeon crapped in his hair. A couple of fellas laugh. So this guy orders a Sam, raises his glass, and toasts the pigeon. Brilliant. When we were kids, we hid when we were embarrassed. But adults need to own their mistakes. Next time, make a coffee run and ask your crew if they'd like a small, large, or directly on their pants. That'll show 'em you're the strongest kind of man: one who can laugh at himself.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-19T09:07:52", "url": "https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a19521194/at-my-first-big-meeting-at-my-new-job-i/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
FHIR is based on API routes. What should the API route look like? The only legitimate link that a quick Google search produces is the Open Epic link. If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend that you sign up here. Here are a few design principles that we have adopted based on REST best practices. Note that we always use the plural form in the API route. This is just a standard way of denoting it. All resource names in the route will always be in the plural and the specific ID will always be in the singular. This route will allow you to create and get all resources specific to that user. with the associated body will create an allergy object specific to userID 6cdf30cc-e81a-4c21-894f-497c5d9ac222. This will also create an internally generated allergyId and a createdAt timestamp. It is important to note that POST actions are unlikely to be supported out of the gate in FHIR implementations but are included in here for completeness. This route will allow either a specific resource to be returned or based on the parameters supplied, a list of resources. The only caveat is likely to be a patient specific query where the parameters will be restricted: i.e. only a specific set of parameters will be allowed so prevent random searches along the lines of give me all patients who’s last name is Smith. We will delve into this more detail when we look at the patient specific route details in a subsequent section. which will return a patient resource with associated details as long as there is a specific match. If there is no match, then an empty body will be returned or ideally, would not even trigger a response. This is a potentially useful security precaution to ensure that even null responses do not communicate any information. This route will allow you to modify or delete specific resource objects. Since the allergyId is a unique number, the patientId is overkill but is in there to simplify / rationalize the structure and number of routes you need to remember. Again, it is important to note that PUT and DELETE actions are unlikely to be supported out of the gate in FHIR implementations but are included in here for completeness. would retrieve just enough information to display a sorted listing of allergies for that specific patient (the - sign sorts results in reverse chronological order). To prevent abuse, it is standard practice to add some sort of rate limiting to an API. RFC 6585 introduced a HTTP status code 429 Too Many Requests to accommodate this. However, it can be very useful to notify you of your limits before you actually hit it. HTTP provides a built-in caching framework. All you have to do is include some additional outbound response headers and do a little validation when you receive some inbound request headers. There are 2 approaches: ETag and Last-Modified. ETag: When generating a request, include an HTTP header ETag containing a hash or checksum of the representation. This value should change whenever the output representation changes. Now, if an inbound HTTP requests contains an If-None-Match header with a matching ETag value, the API should return a 304 Not Modified status code instead of the output representation of the resource. Just like an HTML error page shows a useful error message to a visitor, an API should provide a useful error message in a known consumable format. The representation of an error should be no different than the representation of any resource, just with its own set of fields. The API should always return sensible HTTP status codes. 500 series status codes for server issues. The API standardizes that all 400 series errors come with consumable JSON error representation. If possible (i.e. if load balancers & reverse proxies can create custom error bodies), this should extend to 500 series status codes. HTTP defines a bunch of meaningful status codes that can be returned from your API. These can be leveraged to help the API consumers route their responses accordingly. 200 OK - Response to a successful GET, PUT, PATCH or DELETE. Can also be used for a POST that doesn’t result in a creation. Filtering: Use a unique query parameter for each field that implements filtering. For example, when requesting a list of allergies from the /allergies endpoint, you may want to limit these to only those in the active state. This could be accomplished with a request like GET /allergies?status=active. Here, status is a query parameter that implements a filter. Sorting: Similar to filtering, a generic parameter sort can be used to describe sorting rules. We accommodate complex sorting requirements by letting the sort parameter take in a list of comma separated fields, each with a possible unary negative to imply descending sort order. For example GET /allergies?sort=-severity should retrieve a list of allergies in descending order of severity. Similarly, GET /allergies?sort=-severity,created_at should retrieve a list of allergies in descending order of severity. Within a specific severity, older allergies are ordered first. Searching: When full text search is used as a mechanism of retrieving resource instances for a specific type of resource, it can be exposed on the API as a query parameter on the resource’s endpoint. Let’s say q. Search queries will be passed straight to the search engine and API output will be in the same format as a normal list result. You can use expansion to retrieve particular details about resources in the same response you get when you request a list of users, for instance in a search. This is a perfect example of a contained resource. By using expansion, you avoid the process of retrieving the list and then making additional calls to retrieve details about each item in the list. This is more efficient and helps you avoid running up against the limits of your quota. Patients play a central role in many of the responses returned by resources. For example, queries such as allergy searches, medications all return patient-centric responses. You can expand the patient response format so you can access details about each patient without having to make additional patient resource queries on the individual patients in the response. For example, you can query for patients that match some criteria and at the same time ask the Datica API to extend its response format so that it includes additional details about each patient other than those in the default response format. These are the general design principles that we have followed at Datica. These are guidelines based on our experience building RESTful APIs and gathered from multiple other sources. The key underlying principles being consistency and adherence with HTTP standards. The FHIR acronym stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. FHIR is a new open sourced interoperability standard of the HL7 organization. To understand FHIR, you must understand the FHIR Resource Object. This entry will help explain its origins and intent with links to help.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-21T06:43:43", "url": "https://datica.com/academy/recommended-fhir-api-implementation-principles/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Four Years to Life features the collected works of nearly forty Creative Writing students, and several student artists--all of whom make their home at West Scranton High School, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Four Years to Life marks the second published collection of writing by West Scranton High School's Creative Writing class, and reflects over two years of student effort. In an age where young adults often receive criticism for their lack of interest in school, Four Years to Life responds with a vibrant punch, dispelling the myth that students have nothing to say. These students have much to say about life, love, fear, passion, heartbreak, and do so with a style all their own. Through stunning verse and prose, students bare their emotions and experiences, both real and imaginative, and weave an image of abundant life.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T04:39:00", "url": "https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/four-years-to-life-west-scranton-high-school/1006547756", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The decision you make on which dealership to visit near Gretna, LA, will significantly impact the vehicle you drive home in. Along with various options for auto loans, the best dealership has a professional sales staff eager and willing to help. Working with you as a valued customer, your salesperson will show you different years, models, and trim levels based on your driving style and budget. If you need financing, your salesperson will walk you over to the in-house finance department. There, you and a financial expert will go over your information, followed by searching for different auto loans for the one that best suits your needs. Having multiple connections to top lending and financial institutions makes it easier for the specialist to secure a loan for you with excellent terms and low interest rates. When it comes to auto loans, the financial expert handles the majority of the work. However, to streamline and speed up the process, you need to come prepared with specific documents and information. Make sure you bring the two most recent year’s tax returns, proof of employment and income, a current copy of your credit history from all three reporting agencies, and a government-issued ID. The person helping you may still need to pull your credit report. That individual will ask questions and verify the information you provided. If everything checks out, the financial expert will begin searching through auto loans to find one that works for you. With a perfect or near perfect FICO score, you can expect the dealer near Gretna, LA, to offer low interest rates. However, if your credit needs some work, you will pay a higher rate. Depending on your score, the specialist will broaden the search for the best loan or likely recommend you take six months to resolve some of the issues on your report and then try again. The great thing about working with the right dealer is the fact that they are usually more lenient with auto loans compared to a bank or credit union. With some flexibility, the financial expert has an easier time approving loans, even for people with less-than-perfect credit. Remember, the specialist will do everything possible to secure the financing you need to purchase a new, used, or certified pre-owned vehicle. At Porsche of New Orleans, located in Metairie not far from Gretna, LA, we have a dedicated team of salespeople and financial experts. Start your new adventure of buying a fantastic vehicle by visiting us today.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T11:56:16", "url": "https://www.porscheofneworleans.com/auto-loans-gretna-la/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Of the stages featured in this tool, which best corresponds with your example? Select any that apply. At this stage in the change process, there is expressed intention to take action in the near future in support of the change. While no action will be taken yet, there is an increase in awareness of the change from the previous stage. In addition, there is now an awareness of the benefits to this change, as well as an acute awareness of the costs (both real and perceived) associated with the change. This increased awareness may cause stagnation of the process or movement back to the previous stage. While there is no action taken at this stage, it is important to be able to move beyond the analysis of the pros and cons, and begin to explore a willingness to try small steps in support of the change. What will be constant or the same post-change? At this stage in the change process, there is expressed intention to take action in the near future and initial steps in support of the change have been made. Typically, within this stage there have been some initial attempts toward the change, along with additional preparation(s) in support of the change. This stage represents a hinge-point in the overall change process—where momentum may be created to propel forward, and equally, the potential exists to fall back into the previous stage(s) if action is not engaged in a timely manner. Concurrent with any planning activities, multiple attempts of action related to the change should be initiated during this stage. Efforts made to organize in support of the change, e.g., planning meetings, committees, etc. What have you already tried in support of making this change? What is your plan to implement the change? How are you talking about this change to different stakeholders? Who is emerging as a champion for this change? What other change(s) are being planned or underway—related or non-related to this change? At this stage in the change process, there are observable steps/actions in support of the change. In order to be considered at this stage, all actions and activities related to the change should be engaged. Create small “wins” wherever possible, and learn from any attempts that may not turn out as expected. Additional momentum may be created to keep the actions/activities going in order to proceed to the next stage. At the same time, it is possible to go back a stage or two, depending how the activities in support of the change are managed and experienced by those who are directly involved. How is implementation of your plan going? What additional stakeholders can you involve in the implementation of your plan? What successes are you experiencing in making the change? What system/organizational differences are you noticing in response to making this change? At this stage in the change process, all actions in support of the change have been in place over time and are embedded into systems/behaviors. Once this stage is reached it is far less likely than at any other time in the change process that movement back to previous stages will occur. It is only the test of time however that will tell if the change is fully adopted. How will you ensure that the change is sustainable? What supports are in place to maintain the change? Who are your champions to ensure the change is sustained? How will you ensure stakeholder involvement/input for continuous improvement related to the change? Seek to understand and ask questions. What is the change that’s coming or is under way? What are some of the biggest concerns or fears about the change? What facts being circulated are accurate or inaccurate? What challenges are coming up as you are making this change? What system or organizational differences are you noticing in response to making this change? How will you ensure stakeholder involvement and input for continuous improvement related to the change? The following are initial reflections on the stages within this tool and experiences leading change from members of the 2013-2014 cohort of Integration Liaisons. Specific examples of how educators are using this tool will be added periodically. Submit your example using the form at the bottom of this page, and revisit this page to read others’ examples in the future. People may feel that the “costs” of a change are greater than the benefits. There have been many flavor-of-the-month educational reforms over the years. As a result, some say that the effort it takes to change — again — simply isn’t worth it. Make the case that the change is valuable enough to last — and that it will significantly improve their work. Provide assurance that the time and effort (the “costs”) they invest will go toward lasting change; the change won’t be short-lived. Highlight evidence of the benefits the change will bring. People who feel their jobs are “passive” — meaning they feel low amounts of autonomy and decision-making — are often more resistant to change. This passivity might be the result of a district, building, or department climate. Educators say that teachers who feel trusted and respected as professionals are generally more open to change. It’s important for leaders to foster a climate of trust and respect. Trying new ideas can be scary. There’s a good chance of falling flat on your face! The way to handle this is first to acknowledge the feeling. Reassure people that there likely will be bumps in the road — getting something right the first time can be rare. Providing relevant training and ongoing support throughout the change process is crucial. Continue to make the case for why the change is beneficial. (The gains outweigh the pains.) How is the change in their own best self-interest? For example, the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) increases student engagement, which leads to far fewer discipline problems. Provide assurances of support — and follow through on these. Minimize the feeling of risk. Make the change as low-stakes as possible while people figure it out. Think about who your messengers in support of change are going to be. Keep your audience in mind as you choose your message and messenger. Embed someone who has embraced the change — and who has had success — in each professional learning community, team, or department. This person can act as a peer trainer or go-to person for others in transition. What’s not working and why? Establish peer-to-peer coaching to hone and refine the change. Be honest about what else needs to change. Click here to download a PDF of this tool! Colorado educators inspired this tool. Teacher leaders — or liaisons — in the 2013-2014 Integration Liaison Project recognized the power of their conversations with teachers, building and district leaders, and other stakeholders as they piloted the state’s new academic standards for students and new evaluation system for educators. The liaisons learned that people engaged with the change process in different ways and at different times. To move forward, it was necessary to adapt conversations to meet individuals where they were in the change process. The stages in this tool are based on the behavior change model developed by researchers James O. Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente. Their work in the late 1970s concluded that behavior change takes place through a series of stages. Over the decades, the model has been rigorously tested, challenged, validated, and expanded upon. This Navigating Change tool from The Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) is for anyone leading or managing an individual, small-group, or large-group change process. It maximizes the power of conversation by meeting people where they are in the change process — and moving them toward sustainable change. How leaders choose to manage change is crucial. This tool can help determine where people are in the change process based on what you’re seeing and hearing. It also provides an overview of the stages of change, guiding questions to help people move forward, and examples from the field. There are multiple “entry-points” into this tool — use it in the way that best helps your work. The lists of what you may “see” and “hear” at each stage should be viewed as starting points; there may be additional examples you may encounter in your own change processes. The questions you might ask can be used to confirm your initial thoughts, as well as to initiate thinking toward the next stage. Multiple change processes could happen at the same time with the same individual or group. A group may be at one stage of the change process, and at the same time, individuals within that group may be a different stages. Change is truly a journey — it takes time, and it’s rarely a linear process!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T18:43:25", "url": "https://www.coloradoedinitiative.org/navigating-change/sustaining-change/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
I acquired more interesting things on this fat reduction issue. One issue is that good nutrition is especially vital when dieting. A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and whitened flour products may be necessary. Holding wastes harmful bacteria, and toxins may prevent desired goals for losing belly fat. While selected drugs quickly solve the issue, the bad side effects will not be worth it, and in addition they never offer you more than a non permanent solution. This is a known fact that 95% of dietary fads fail. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this weblog.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-18T17:15:52", "url": "https://younghopes.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/best-global-health-habits/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
This recipe shows you how to make a sophisticed dish with minimal fuss and maximum flavour. Top Tip: The finished, cooled ragu freezes well, in tubs or freezer bags, for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating until piping hot. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the carrots, onion, garlic and a pinch of salt. Sauté gently until beginning to soften. Add the tomato purée to the pan and cook for a minute to soften the flavour, before adding the balsamic, red wine, sugar and herbs. Allow to bubble and reduce for around 5 minutes. Pour the chopped tomatoes in to the pan and add the stock cube or bouillon and the Worcestershire sauce. Refill the tin with water and add this to the ragu. Bring everything to a simmer and allow to cook slowly for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce is thickened and reduced. Add the lentils, courgette and mushrooms to the pan, check the seasoning and adjust as necessary. Leave to simmer, stirring often, for a further 15 minutes to cook the mushrooms and courgette. Serve hot, with pasta, courgetti or warm crusty bread. Thank you Plantbased Magazine, i’ve Made this recipe several times and everytime it’s a huge success. Thank you a million times over.

The Election Commission has sought a detailed report from the district poll authorities in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh on media reports that VVPAT was only dispensing slips of BJP symbol during a demonstration exercise. An Assembly bypoll is due in Bhind next week and the demonstration was part of the familiarisation exercise. "We have sought a detailed report from district election officer," a Commission spokesperson said. The voters see Voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slip for seven seconds, which would be an acknowledgement receipt for the party they voted for in the election. VVPAT is a machine which dispenses a slip with the symbol of the party for which a person has voted for. The slip drops in a box but the voter cannot take it home. According to media reports, the receipt showed the vote going to BJP, irrespective of button pressed, during the demonstration. The reports also claimed that Madhya Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Saleena Singh was seen telling journalists that the news should not appear in newspapers, else they would be detained at the police station. Meanwhile, in a hurriedly called press conference in Bhopal on Saturday, Chief Electoral Officer of the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh Saleena Singh denied the reports that VVPAT dispensed only BJP slips. She said her office and the district poll authorities had sent reports on the issue to the Election Commission. "During the demonstration, the VVPAT first dispensed a slip with (BJP's) lotus symbol but the second one had (Congress') hand symbol," she said. VVPAT-enabled machines would be used at Assembly by-elections at Ater in Bhind district and Bandhavgarh in Umaria district on April 9. Singh explained that if the VVPAT slip doesn't reflect the voter's choice correctly, he or she can file a declaration, and the election officer will have to follow a set procedure to verify the claim. If the officer finds the claim to be correct, the voting will be stopped, the CEO said. "If it is other way round (if the claim is incorrect) the voter will be booked and can face six months' imprisonment or a fine of INR 1,000 or both after trial (under the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961)," she said. Asked about the reports that she threatened to send mediapersons to jail if they continued to say that VVPAT was dispensing only BJP slips, Singh said, "It was in a lighter vein." "Some elements, not mediapersons, twisted the issue," she added.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T14:22:59", "url": "http://www.millenniumpost.in/nation/ec-asks-for-report-on-evms-being-fudged-in-bjps-favour-234469", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Developing solutions that improve our connection with physical activities and environments. That is the crux of tangible design. From desks to lights, user optimization plays a key role in my design choices. Created with a user-centered approach, the resulting projects are informed by rounds of research and iterations, ultimately aiming to provide useful improvements of everyday objects. The Workforce Desk is an exploration in modular efficiency. It is a grooved tabletop with a series of modular accessories (with half spheres on their underside) that allows the user to maintain an efficient and personalized workspace. Strungout is an alternative solution for storing magazine collections. It is composed of vertical strings that serve to support the magazine's spines. It was designed so that users can quickly and efficiently store their publications as part of a dynamic visual composition. Troncs provides a simple mechanism for controlling the light quality of your workspace. Inspired by the way light filters through trees, it is composed of two cylinders that overlap each other - thereby controlling the amount of light dispersed.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T04:59:47", "url": "https://www.rachellebugeaud.com/tangible", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

The following takes place between the hours of 12 AM and 1:00 AM. 12:00-12:15 AM: Orac zones out watching television, brain fried after a rough several days before, during which he had submitted two grants due the day before. The following takes place between the hours of 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM. 2:30 AM: The screech of a pager shatters the silence in the darkness of Orac’s bedroom. Half conscious, Orac fumbles for the pager. It’s the hospital. He dials the phone. On the other end, it’s one of the residents. A patient he had been consulted on the other day had taken a turn for the worse. He had started complaining of severe abdominal pain and had a respiratory arrest requiring intubation, resuscitation, and transfer to the ICU. It looks very much like intraabdominal sepsis. A prolonged discussion with the resident follows regarding the patient’s condition. This patient was a 60 year old who had been diagnosed last summer with leukemia. He had had a particularly rough course during his first induction course of chemotherapy and had almost died of a necrotizing fasciitis. My partner had followed him for many weeks during that course. Surprising everyone, this patient had finally recovered, apparently leukemia-free. Until a few weeks ago, when he returned with relapsed leukemia. He was admitted and reinduction chemotherapy started. About a week before this day, he started experiencing abdominal pain. A CT scan at the time showed some inflammation of the small intestine. In the meantime, in response to the chemotherapy, his bone marrow shut down temporarily. He became pancytopenic, meaning that he had a white blood cell (WBC) count of nearly zero and a platelet count of around 10,000 (which is very low). He was clearly very prone to infection and bleeding and at a very high risk for any sort of surgical procedure. About a day and a half before this call, we had been consulted for fevers and abdominal distension of several days’ duration before the consult, which had started around two weeks after his reinduction chemotherapy. The patient by this time had a severe ileus, with abdominal distension requiring nasogastric decompression. He had still had a bit of liquid bowel movements, but not much else. His abdomen, although distended, was not tender. A new CT showed worsening of the bowel wall thickening in large stretches of the proximal small bowel. We made a diagnosis of probable neutropenic enteritis, a condition that is not uncommon in leukemia patients undergoing big gun chemotherapy to the point where their WBC count drops dramatically. He did not have the typical pattern (inflammation in the distal small bowel and right colon), but nothing else fit as well, and neutropenic enteritis is not limited to those places. The management of neutropenic enteritis is somewhat controversial, and, unfortunately, one of the areas where evidence-based medicine doesn’t help as much as we’d like, because the studies presently available in the literature are not randomized and consist mainly of case series. This is one situation where the literature can support a number of management options. Some surgeons advocate immediate operative intervention in these cases; most tend to recommend more of a wait-and-see approach for most patients, unless complications such as perforation or unrelenting sepsis occur, because most of these cases will resolve when the WBC count comes back up. Because this patient had such a benign abdominal examination and, although febrile, was not tachycardic, and because so much of his bowel seemed to be involved that any surgery would likely require removal of large portions of his GI tract, we had nervously elected to follow him closely, and not operate unless our backs were to the wall and we had no choice. We now had no choice. The following takes place between the hours of 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM. The decision to operate urgently is made. However, because the patient has such a low platelet count and was severely septic, rushing off to the OR immediately was not an option. Consequently, we planned to resuscitate the patient with fluids, give lots of platelets, and give fresh frozen plasma to correct his other clotting abnormalities, the plan being to operate in an hour or two. I change clothes and head into the hospital. The following takes place between the hours of 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM. I arrive at the hospital and heads straight for the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). The patient’s abdominal exam has worsened considerably since yesterday afternoon. He is now so distended that he looks as though he will burst. I call the patient’s wife to inform her of the dire turn of events and to obtain consent for urgent surgery. The woman speaks no English at all. Fortunately, we have a translation line, and I am able to make the woman understand what is going on. While the last of the platelets and FFP run in, I go to the doctor’s lounge and get a big cup of coffee. I prepare myself for what is likely to be a very unpleasant case. The following takes place between the hours of 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM. The patient is taken to the O.R. By around 5:20 AM, we are cutting skin. Fearful that this patient has massive amounts of dead gut, we only make a small incision, expecting what we in the surgery biz call a “peek and shriek” (you see lots of dead bowel for which nothing can be done other than to close and let nature take its course–in other words, you peek and then shriek). We are greeted with grayish, dusky-looking bowel. It’s not dead, but it doesn’t look very healthy. We’re forced to open more. What greets us is not pretty. We see purplish-black loops of intestine. There is indeed dead bowel. Only one way to find out. We systematically run the bowel. It turns out that the entire ascending and transverse colon (more then one half of the colon) are purplish black. Large amounts of small bowel are dead, as well, starting right up at the Ligament of Treitz and including the entire jejunum. Nearly the entire small bowel other than the grayish area that greeted us when we opened is dead. This may not have been a “peek ‘n’ shriek” in the strictest sense, but it is worthy of a shriek. It’s one of the things that general surgeons hate the most, because we are powerless to do anything. You can’t resect 90% of the small bowel, at least not in someone with no WBC and no platelets, and expect any sort of long-term survival. Even in young, healthy individuals, the effects of such a resection are devastating: short gut syndrome and dependence on intravenous nutrition. The following takes place between the hours of 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Realizing that there is nothing that can be done, we start closing the abdomen. The patient is transported back to the SICU, and I try to get a hold of the wife. I learn that she is on her way in. I dictate the case, and the resident writes orders. I haven’t felt so tired in a long time. The following takes place between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. While waiting for the wife to arrive, I do paperwork on the case and then go to get some breakfast. The following takes place between the hours of 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM. The wife arrives with a friend who translates for her. I explain to her that her husband’s problem is not one that can be fixed and that there is nothing further we can do for him. She breaks down sobbing. Quietly, I recommend that all extraordinary support be withdrawn and comfort measures only instituted. She agrees. We ask her if she wants to stay. She is so distraught that she doesn’t. Instead, she goes into her husband’s room one last time to say goodbye, her friend supporting her. The sobs come in waves from deep within her, almost knocking her over each time. She leaves to make funeral arrangements. I write the order to withdraw support. The following takes place between the hours of 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. I attend Grand Rounds. I can hardly stay awake. I wouldn’t have even gone if it weren’t for the fact that this particular Surgical Grand Rounds was by a very prestigious visiting professor. Around 9:45 AM, I’m called to let me know that the patient had passed away. The following takes place between the hours of 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM. I head back to my office. On the way over, I run into one of my partners. I learn from him that a paper we had submitted to Cancer Research had been rejected outright. Never mind that it was better than half the stuff I’ve seen in that journal. Normally, I’d be annoyed, but right now I’m numb. It’s a petty annoyance compared to what happened overnight. I go to my office, close the door, and turn out the lights. Because I have cases starting at noon, I try to catch some sleep on the floor of my office. I vow once again that I need to buy myself a sleeping bag to keep there for this purpose. Thankfully, the office is carpetted. The following takes place between the hours of 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. I finish up the last case of the day. The resident informs me that we have a new consult. Lovely. No rest for the wicked. It’s a 25 year old with massively metastatic testicular cancer. I ask why they are consulting us. The resident tells me that the oncologist wants to “have surgery on board.” Why? No one knows. The oncology fellow can’t explain why. I’m too tired to argue and don’t really feel like calling the oncology attending; so we see the patient, see that there is nothing for us to do or recommend, and I slap a perfunctory note on the chart. The following takes place between the hours of 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM. I’m in my office, returning patient phone calls and doing paperwork. I fill out the billing slips for the cases I did that day, dictate the one that I didn’t get to, and then enter them all in our database. The following takes place between the hours of 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM. I head home. Too tired to want to deal with dinner or to care about anything healthy, I stop at McDonalds on the way home and load up on grease to take home with me. Sadly, I also tempt and corrupt my wife from the straight and narrow and bring her home nice big greasy McDonalds burgers and fries as well. It was all very tasty. The following takes place between the hours of 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Paradoxically wired and not that sleepy, I check my e-mail. I immediately wish I had restrained myself until the next day, because there, on the screen, was my second rejection of the day. Well, not exactly a rejection, but a de facto rejection. Reviewers for Molecular and Cellular Biology are requesting so much extra data before they would consider publishing the manuscript that I had submitted a month or so ago that, in my exhausted state, I was highly tempted to whip back a note informing the editor that, if I had the data his reviewers were requesting, i would have submitted the paper to a higher tier journal, like Genes and Development. Thankfully, I restrain myself. Even in my depressed, defeated, and sleep-deprived state, I have more common sense than to do something that stupid. The following takes place between the hours of 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Before turning in in utter exhaustion, I decide to look at the blog. I spend around 15 minutes composing a not-so-respectfully insolent response to what had annoyed me. I then head for bed and crash–hard–realizing that I still had several more days to go. I also realize that most private practice general surgeons have days like this far more often than I do. But then they don’t have to worry about research and trying to get grant funding. I also remember that, as bad as this day has been, at least I’ll have the chance to have more bad days like it. Sadly, the same can’t be said about the patient whose deterioriation started this day out.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T18:54:14", "url": "https://respectfulinsolence.com/2006/05/30/24-the-on-call-edition/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Back at the first of the chapter, Paul cited Genesis 15:6, which said that “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” But in today’s passage he takes a closer look at the circumstances surrounding that verse, and he offers a lesson concerning faith for those of us who already believe in Christ. What precisely was the promise that God made that Abraham believed that caused him to be seen as righteous? The Lord told Abraham “Do not be afraid. . . I am your shield, your very great reward.” Abraham responded respectfully but from the heart, and basically he said “That’s wonderful Lord, and I’m certainly grateful, but if I don’t have children, what good would anything else do for me? I don’t have any children, so one of my servants will be my heir.” Once again I want to remind you that it’s almost impossible to overstate just how important children were considered in that time and culture. If you were the equivalent of a multi-billionaire (and Abraham was one of the richest men in the world), what good would all that do you once you died if you had no one to leave it to? Considering any physical blessing, Abraham would've counted any of that as far less valuable than his heart's desire, namely children. The Lord answered by telling him straight out that Abraham’s servant would not be his heir, but a child that came from his own body. Then he took Abraham one step further: He pointed the man to the stars, and told him that his heirs would be as uncountable as the lights in the sky. Let’s look at his situation. He was over a hundred years old, and his wife was around ninety. Now, it’s likely that he was really healthy and spry for a hundred-year-old, and there have been modern cases of men almost that old who’ve impregnated women. But Sarah was way past the years in which she could bear children; the Scriptures explicitly say so, so she'd experienced menopause years prior to this. Her body was no longer producing eggs. Here’s the point that’s so important for us to catch. First, let me contrast Father Abraham with how a lot of people see faith. They tend to downplay or even ignore facts which seem to contradict it. God says something to us, and it might seem--at first--like it’s untrue. So they deny even that there’s a problem. That’s not Abraham. Paul specifically says that Abraham “faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.” He knew good and well that hundred-year-old men and especially ninety-year-old women--humanly speaking--do not produce children. He wasn’t blind to that. If that’s so, then how much more do we—on this side of the Cross--have to go on in order to be “fully persuaded that God [has] power to do what he [has] promised”? Our Savior raised himself from the dead. It was attested to by hundreds of witnesses, all of whom were willing to die to back up that claim (for evidence for the Resurrection, check here). We have even less of an excuse to doubt God’s promises than Abraham did. So here are the tough questions you should've known were coming: Without denying or ignoring the facts in front of me, do I hold onto what the Lord has told me? Am I unwavering in my belief? Am I fully persuaded that God has the power to do what he’s promised? What about you? Lord Jesus, like someone told you a long time ago, I do believe. Help my unbelief. Please.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T04:18:13", "url": "http://mytawg.blogspot.com/2016/08/aug-04facing-facts-in-faith.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

Thought you might appreciate this item(s) I saw at Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy. Patient nonadherence with therapy is a major barrier to rehabilitation. Recovery is often limited and requires prolonged, intensive rehabilitation that is time-consuming, expensive, and difficult. We review evidence for the potential use of video games in rehabilitation with respect to the behavioral, physiological, and motivational effects of gameplay. In this Special Interest article, we offer a method to evaluate effects of video game play on motor learning and their potential to increase patient engagement with therapy, particularly commercial games that can be interfaced with adapted control systems. We take the novel approach of integrating research across game design, motor learning, neurophysiology changes, and rehabilitation science to provide criteria by which therapists can assist patients in choosing games appropriate for rehabilitation. Research suggests that video games are beneficial for cognitive and motor skill learning in both rehabilitation science and experimental studies with healthy subjects. Physiological data suggest that gameplay can induce neuroplastic reorganization that leads to long-term retention and transfer of skill; however, more clinical research in this area is needed. There is interdisciplinary evidence suggesting that key factors in game design, including choice, reward, and goals, lead to increased motivation and engagement. We maintain that video game play could be an effective supplement to traditional therapy. Motion controllers can be used to practice rehabilitation-relevant movements, and well-designed game mechanics can augment patient engagement and motivation in rehabilitation. We recommend future research and development exploring rehabilitation-relevant motions to control games and increase time in therapy through gameplay.

There is a major concern in rehabilitation that patients are not meeting the sufficient “dosage” of movements required to induce neuroplastic adaptations underlying behavioral improvement.1 We argue that motion-controlled video games are an appealing avenue of research to augment therapy, because using rehabilitation-relevant movements in the context of an engaging and motivational game can potentially augment the dosage of therapy. In this article, we review experimental studies of video game training in basic science and rehabilitation. These data suggest that gameplay can induce desirable behavioral and physiological changes. We also review interdisciplinary evidence to suggest that specific game mechanics/design principles increase motivation and engagement, increasing the amount of time players (patients) are willing to spend in the game (as a therapy supplement). On this evidence, we present a framework for motivational properties of games to justify games as a therapeutic tool. This Special Interest article will focus on motor rehabilitation of persons with hemiparesis; however, the principles discussed in this article could apply to rehabilitation more generally. Hemiparesis is a common outcome following stroke and of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Function of the paretic upper extremity (UE) is impaired for up to 6 months after stroke in about 50% of survivors of stroke, and only 5% to 20% of this population regains complete functionality of UE.2 While up to 50% of functional recovery following stroke is spontaneous, additional recovery can only be acquired through prolonged, intensive therapy. To complicate the effects of the functional loss, patients can suffer from depression, decreasing motivation for sustained rehabilitation.6 Patients also report that traditional exercises are uninteresting, reducing motivation for sustaining treatment.7,8 In contrast, the video game industry produces accessible and affordable activities that engage users for long periods of time. In the United States, 183 million people spend at least 13 hours per week playing video games.9 Gaming is more common even in “nontraditional” demographics: 37% of gamers are older than 35 years, and 47% of gamers identify as female.10 Thus, integrating video games into therapy following hemiparesis may provide a viable solution to the lack of engagement and accessibility in current therapies. In contrast to other approaches that recommend rehabilitation-specific games,7 we propose using adapted accessibility solutions that allow patients to play commercially available video games during rehabilitation. Emphasis is placed on commercial solutions because of the overwhelming market-derived evidence that these games are effective at motivating individuals to use them. CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES IN REHABILITATION: WHERE DO VIDEO GAMES FIT IN? Virtual reality (VR) training can be used to augment bilateral training and constraint-induced movement therapy techniques. Participants who are taught motor skills in a VR environment have better retention and are more efficient in transferring skills than participants who received similar training in the real world.24 These learning advantages are attributable to increased experimenter control and feedback augmentation in VR.24–28 To maximize effectiveness, therapy needs to have high repetition, supervision, clear rewards, and long duration over time.29,30 These are elements that can be individually produced and monitored in a VR environment. For example, the Kinect system (Microsoft Inc, Redmond, Washington) has been used as a sensor to monitor the kinematics of participants’ upper limb movements in VR-based rehabilitation exercise studies. This approach has been implemented in a game akin to baseball.31 By moving their shoulders and elbows, study participants control the arm motions of an avatar to receive VR-batted balls. This VR task led to improved performance and improved patient affect. In spite of the many techniques available to facilitate therapy, motivation and access are major obstacles to patients in achieving the necessary dosage of movements needed for recovery. Motivation, accessibility, and cost all contribute to attrition/abatement in the amount of time spent in therapy following an injury/illness,32,33 and current data suggest that the dosage of therapy, in terms of the number of repetitions of an exercise, is already far less than optimal for recovery.1 Thus, by adding a gaming supplement to therapy, patient adherence can be improved (shown abstractly in Figure 1). Motion controllers in games allow therapy-relevant movements to be practiced in the context of a game, and many of the benefits of virtual environments and augmented feedback can be realized in video game play. Borrowing on a model of usability from human computer interaction,34 we posit that the reinforcing factors of gameplay could increase the likelihood of (1) initiating a gameplay session (the point of engagement), (2) augmenting engagement, (3) delaying disengagement, and (4) increasing the likelihood of reengagement (see Figure 1). Increasing patient engagement through gameplay has the potential to increase the dosage of therapy-relevant movements by integrating these movements into an interactive environment. In the following sections, we present evidence for the use of commercial video games as a supplement to physical therapy, on the basis of behavioral, physiological, and (limited) rehabilitative studies of gaming interventions. We first review experimental studies of game-based training in both basic science and rehabilitation to demonstrate that gameplay is effective for inducing desirable behavioral and physiological changes. Second, we review the motivational properties of video games and present a framework for motivation and engagement in gaming based on interdisciplinary research, to justify games as a therapeutic tool. Evident in this review is the need for more basic and clinical research on gaming as a supplement to rehabilitation, and further technological development of adapted accessibility solutions that allow patients to play commercially available video games. Playing video games has been shown to have many positive behavioral and physiological effects. In rehabilitation settings, video games have been shown to have positive impacts on cognitive performance, motor performance, and affect. In quasi-experimental studies comparing video game experts with video game novices, experts show improved attentional capacity, expanded useful field of vision, and improved temporal resolution of attention relative to novices.35 Surgeons who played video games made 37% fewer errors, were 27% faster with laparoscopic drills, and were 33% better at suturing tasks than nongamer surgeons.36 Although supportive of video game–training benefits, the quasi-experimental nature of these studies prevents any causal judgments. Thus, in this Special Interest article, we focus exclusively on experimental studies of video game training (by searching electronic databases and the bibliographies of relevant research). This Special Interest article is inclusive in the types of games used, duration of the intervention, and sample population studied. Positive results and null findings found in published studies are presented hereafter. While we have attempted to be comprehensive in our review of the evidence, the interpretations are qualitative rather than quantitative. Considerable research still remains to be done in this area before the effectiveness and efficacy of video games in rehabilitation can be conclusively determined. Behavioral effects of video game–training studies are summarized in Table 1. Training can lead to meaningful improvement across cognitive, motor, and affective measures (although null results have also been reported38). With respect to cognitive aspects, training with action-based video games has been shown to improve attentional capacity and attentional deployment, and these gains transfer beyond the game environment.35,45,46 Improvements in visual-motor and cognitive-motor performance have been shown in visuospatial rotations,41,51 faster reaction times,39,50 and execution of fine motor tasks.40 These training effects suggest that differences between gamers and nongamers in quasi-experimental studies are attributable to training.35,43,53 However, the amount of training across various studies has not been consistent, making it difficult to determine requirements needed for significant improvements (see Table 1). Moreover, there have been no systematic attempts to assess motivation and self-selected time spent in gaming. Although there are good reasons to infer that the motivational properties of video games would increase the time individuals spend playing games (eg, improved affect48,49,52), there are currently little empirical data that address this issue directly. There are, however, reports from clinical studies that suggest some patients desire to continue using games at the end of a gaming intervention. Compared with knowledge concerning the behavioral consequences of playing video games, much less is known about the neurophysiological changes that are associated with this type of training. Significant increases in striatal dopamine have been identified during action video game play compared with resting levels, using positron emission tomography.54 Not only did gameplay increase striatal dopamine release but dopamine release positively correlated with in-game performance. Levels of dopamine release in the ventral striatum (approximately a 13% increase over resting baseline levels) were similar to dopamine release observed in other studies following intravenous injections of amphetamine (16% increase55) and methamphetamine (23% increase56). Neuroplastic adaptations as a result of gameplay have been shown in some studies, but none have dealt with motor learning or rehabilitation directly. Li et al57 found that playing action video games significantly improved the contrast sensitivity function of the eye, and Green et al.58 showed that video game training improved the spatial resolution of vision. Playing action video games has also been linked to modulation of early sensory processing by increasing sensitivity to changes in the visual environment59 as well as long-term improvements in spatial cognition.60 Robust retention and transfer tests in these studies are important because they suggest that video game play, when applied to therapy, could lead to durable improvements that may transfer beyond rehabilitation into the activities of daily life. Previous research in this area has been conducted using video game controls that are handheld and require only finger movements to play. The introduction of motion controllers (eg, the Nintendo Wii, Playstation Move, and Microsoft Kinect) has increased the type and range of movements possible in control of a video game. The increased interactivity of motion controllers requires complex, coordinated motion within a limb, between two limbs, or even using full-body motion. Increasing a player's range, speed, and amount of movement clearly has the potential to help rehabilitate motor impairments. An ancillary benefit, however, is increased aerobic activity that accompanies motion-based control. This brings up an important distinction between learning, referring to durable neurophysiological adaptations, and training, referring to musculoskeletal or cardiovascular adaptations. Gaming interventions could be focused on learning, training, or both processes, and more research is needed to understand how design characteristics of the game might differentially affect these processes. In one study, the use of the Nintendo Wii led to significantly improved motor function in participants within 6 months of stroke when they were compared to a recreational therapy group (tabletop games) 4 weeks postintervention.64 Similarly, positive results associated with playing Wii (upper limb exercises) were seen in poststroke participants after six 30-minute sessions.65 There was also a significant increase in Fugl-Meyer and Motricity Index scores, and participants had a desire to continue the therapy as a part of their rehabilitation and to recommend it to others, reporting that they felt it was at least as useful as conventional therapy.65 Reports of increased enjoyment and desire to continue using the gaming system are congruent with other video game interventions7 and basic psychological studies of affect,48,49,52 but there are currently no clinical data showing that integrating games actually augments time in therapy. It is promising that in all 3 case studies,7 all with participants older than 65 years, the participants were interested in obtaining an “at home” copy of the game for personal use. The Wii controller has also been used in a biofeedback platform to reduce unwanted compensatory movements during exercise in participants poststroke (eg, twisting at the trunk to move the hand to the midline rather than transverse adduction at the shoulder).66 A punishment/reward system discouraged compensation and encouraged “good” motions. This biofeedback motivated participants to reduce their compensatory movements and improved the quality of movement in the more-affected limb. In clinical populations other than that with stroke, video game interventions have resulted in functional improvements as well. The Wii Balance Board was a successful training intervention in hemiparetic individuals with acquired brain injury.67 In one study, participants with early Parkinson disease underwent baseline testing, played Wii Fit games over 8 sessions, and were then evaluated 2 months later. At the 2-month posttest, participants showed no deficit in acquiring or retaining skills compared with healthy controls on 7/10 games, although the overall level of performance was lower for 5/7 of those games. Participants were able to transfer learning from video game play to a functional reach test,68 as indicated by change in performance from pretest to posttest. Finally, geriatric participants using therapist-guided video game therapy improved more on some measures of balance and mobility than participants receiving traditional therapy in the ward gym matched for treatment time.69 Although promising, there is clearly need for more research in this area. There appear to be only 3 randomized controlled pilot studies on video games in therapy,64,67,69 and these were single-blind studies. Also, current data have matched experimental groups to controls for time in therapy but not for the number of movements, which would be an important control in future research. Thus, the clinical utility of video game supplements in therapy needs to be experimentally explored. The combined results of these studies are promising, and with detailed research and development, video game play might be a safe, cost-efficient, and effective supplement to conventional physical therapy. As research in this area grows, however, there is still a lack of criteria by which therapists can judge how games could be integrated into rehabilitation or assist patients in choosing games appropriate for in-home use. One option is designing therapy-specific games. This might be an option for the future as this niche develops, but it is costly and time-consuming at present. Thus, we advocate the use of readily available, commercial video games designed in the highly competitive gaming industry. We argue that these commercial games are effective, motivating, and engaging for patients because these are based on key factors of game design. We next explore game design factors that are most salient for rehabilitation and use empirical research from psychology, neuroscience, and motor learning to show that there is a scientific basis for what makes a successful video game (ie, one that is motivating and engaging). Game designers try to maximize the likelihood that their product will be commercially successful. This success is largely defined by the number of hours that gamers are willing to invest in a single title. By extracting factors of good game design, we can gain insight into factors that should increase patient engagement with rehabilitation and hence suggest criteria by which games might be well-suited for rehabilitation. These criteria are not solely based on game design principles from industry. We took an interdisciplinary approach (illustrated in Figure 2) to find areas of overlap between what we know about game design, the neuroscience of motivation, and principles of motor learning that have been shown to improve long-term retention and transfer in the general population. A list of general game design principles was constructed on the basis of readings from game design and human-computer interaction. Areas of overlap were identified in neuroscientific and motor learning research. Those principles that were empirically supported were evaluated with respect to their use in physical and occupational rehabilitation. From this interdisciplinary perspective, we extracted 6 key principles of effective game design that have an empirical basis for increasing player engagement and motivation: reward, optimal challenge, feedback, choice/interactivity, clear instructions, and socialization. These are not exhaustive or mutually exclusive factors. For example, changes in feedback could affect the difficulty of the game, which in turn affects a player's sense of reward and the motivation to continue playing. These 6 principles should instead be thought of as a framework for conceptualizing engagement and motivation in gameplay. Motivation is a difficult concept to describe, but for purposes of this Special Interest article, we operationally define motivation as a psychological property that encourages a person's action toward a goal by eliciting and/or sustaining goal-directed behavior.70,71 From research on game design and human-computer interaction, a number of factors increase players’ motivation to begin a gaming session and increase their motivation to continue playing. For instance, there are personally motivating factors (eg, perceived control, curiosity and exploration, and imagination) and socially motivating factors (eg, cooperation, competition, and recognition).72–74 Listed hereafter are 6 factors that impact motivation via gameplay and are empirically supported by research in motor learning and affective neuroscience. Caillois75 provides a classification of types of games across cultures. There are games of conflict/competition, chance, imitation/mimicry, and sensation seeking. The unifying theme in these different games is that play is based on reward. Bartle76 offers a similar classification for individual differences between gamers. Thus, even though the relative strength of rewards or the conditions that trigger rewards may be different across games or gamers, gameplay is motivated by rewarding experiences. One of the insights from the large body of research on the neuroscience of reward and motivation77–80 is the discovery that the limbic system, in particular the nucleus accumbens (NA), is critical to learning new behaviors, especially those associated with pursuit of rewards, pleasure, and addiction.81–83 Activity in the NA has been shown to scale linearly to the probability of receiving a reward, and differences in NA activity correlate with individual differences in sensation seeking.84 Dopamine in the NA is associated with reward-based learning, feelings of pleasure/enjoyment, and motivation to perform specific behaviors.73 We hypothesize that a dopaminergic and domain-general reward system underlies gameplay. Although a dopaminergic reward system may underlie rewarding experiences in gameplay, there are several conditions that will elicit dopamine release. The properties of this dopaminergic reward system may change as a function of disease or injury, but human and animal research shows that certain conditions reliably elicit psychological and physiological rewards. Four such conditions are presented in Table 2. At the beginning of a game, players desire a low level of challenge to meet a correspondingly low level of ability and familiarity with the game. Good examples of this are tutorials, in which the player is guided through the game's entry level with specific task-by-task instructions. However, as the player becomes familiar with the controls of the game, accomplishing the tasks gets progressively more difficult.93 In fact, gamers are failing in their within-game tasks frequently, up to 80% of their in-game time.94 Lazzaro,95 has postulated that players are excited and eager to retry a task when they fail positively. Positive failure, unlike passive failure, happens when a player falls just short of success, suggesting that excitement during execution may influence enjoyment more than nominal success.94 The joy of positive failure is associated also with the state of “flow,”96 defined in positive psychology literature as the satisfying feeling of heightened functioning. Positive failures also fit with experimental work on dopamine,81 which suggests that nearly succeeding or narrowly avoiding failure are physiologically rewarding experiences. Positive failure and flow happen through gradual change in the difficulty of the game. With an increase in experience, greater challenge keeps players on the edge of their ability to accomplish tasks. Adaptive and multilevel games offer the best solution to maintaining the appropriate level of challenge. Physiologically, when the same action is no longer guaranteed to produce the same level of reward, the magnitude of reward prediction error is also increased.87,88 This desirable increase could be achieved by progressively increasing the level of challenge offered by a game or by changing the game. From a motor learning perspective, there has been a considerable amount of theorizing on how to maintain an optimal level of challenge96,97 or to create “desirable difficulties” during practice.98 To avoid boredom or frustration, players should be kept at the upper limit of their ability by manipulating difficulty in meaningful ways (eg, making things faster is only meaningful if speed is a critical component of real performance). With respect to rehabilitation, it is also important to consider difficulty as an interaction of individual and environmental constraints99,100 to understand how difficulties might arise directly from injury/disease or from the environmental changes that accompany these individual changes. Furthermore, some data suggest that scaffolding practice from easy to difficult leads to greater skill transfer, whereas beginning at more difficult levels creates specificity.101 Transfer is particularly important for rehabilitation where game-acquired skills are expected to transfer into activities of daily life. Feedback is any information about how a skill was performed and/or the effectiveness with which the skill was performed. Feedback can be a natural consequence of an action, referred to as intrinsic feedback, which includes vision, proprioception, and equilibrioception. Importantly for engagement and learning, additional feedback is often provided from external sources, termed augmented feedback, which includes verbal feedback from coaches/therapists, video feedback, points, badges, and other performance-contingent rewards. Interpretable feedback leads to more efficient learning, but feedback should also be prescriptive rather than simply descriptive. Giving learners prescriptive feedback about what to do following an error reduces the cognitive load,102,103 which might be helpful early in practice or at a point of impasse. Feedback serves an informational function for improving motor learning, but it also has a motivational function. Data from laboratory studies suggest that providing participants with feedback after good trials leads to better long-term retention of the skill than giving participants equal amounts of feedback following poor trials.104 This suggests that people like to receive affirmation of competency rather than errors or failure. In support, if participants feel that they are doing well relative to other people, this also increases their motivation to practice, their level of performance, and their retention of a skill.105–107 In game design, feedback can similarly be used to augment other factors, such as difficulty or socialization.74 For instance, clear and immediate feedback on differences between players could increase the competitive/adversarial aspects of a game, even if the game is designed to be cooperative. Therapists should be careful in evaluating games for the type of feedback they provide, choosing games that provide positive feedback more frequently. As both a gaming and motor learning principle, the concept of choice and interactivity is critical in increasing engagement; data suggest that simply allowing learners to choose when to receive feedback can increase skill retention and transfer.108,109 From the perspective of game design, choice and interactivity increase the connection that a player has with the virtual environment, such that interactions can be based on individual psychological needs.110 These data on interactivity are consistent with surveys that show that players rate game situations with more options as being more enjoyable.111 Exploration of novel stimuli and new environments are strongly associated with physiological rewards.90–92 This exploration is akin to interactivity in the game environment, in which a player might literally be exploring a novel virtual environment or exploring more abstract dimensions of the game (eg, story arcs and new characters). Gameplay offers achievement-based satisfaction, because goals can be met on very short- to very long-term timescales. Clear goals and instructions for completing a task make task execution efficient. In gameplay, goals are oriented toward self-improvement or survival. Self-improvement goals give rewards that improve the player's avatar and generally satisfy materialistic needs. Survival goals might involve avoiding failure for the length of a level or defeating a powerful opponent. To reach goals, games must include clear instructions, which can be explicit tutorials or implicit cues. Explicit tutorials can either be dynamically included into gameplay or be separate documents. Exploration of the game and its mechanics can serve as implicit cues, which take the form of punishment/reward and can lead to positive failure.95 That is, a lot of time spent in games involves failing at game objectives before the mechanics are learned. Therapeutic practices for population with neurological ailments have been developed around the principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity, aiming to optimize the time spent in therapy. Qualitative data, based on interviews with therapists and survivors of stroke in therapy, have helped to identify a lack of motivation as a barrier to adherence to therapy.7,112,113,124 Thus, dwindling patient motivation and limited accessibility can have negative impacts on time spent in therapy. This suggests that in addition to neuroplasticity and motor learning, positive psychology and motivating principles should be taken into consideration to increase the dosage of physical therapy. Low motivation and engagement are barriers in physical therapy exercises112,113 that can lead to nonadherence with therapy.32,33 Video games have the potential to alleviate nonadherence because of their motivating structure. Games are known for having voluntary participation (ie, players start playing without being required to), extended playtime (ie, players spend on average 12-20 hours per week playing games), and a high probability of being replayed. Furthermore, different genres of video games have been shown to have a positive effect on players’ cognitive and motor abilities. By taking an interdisciplinary approach to studying game design, we have distilled 6 key factors to build a framework for understanding the engaging nature of video games: reward, difficulty/challenge, feedback, choice/interactivity, clear goals and mechanics, and socialization. These key factors may be useful also for therapists seeking to evaluate games for use by their patients. Further work remains to be done to demonstrate empirically that patients will use video games to extents that will reap clinical effects; however, we are encouraged by the burgeoning research using existing video games as a therapeutic tool. By integrating game design with principles of neuroscience and psychology, we argue the motivational and engaging properties of games can be used to help patients achieve a higher dosage of movements recommended by neurological theories of rehabilitation. This integration could come in the form of game-based therapies under the supervision of a physical therapist and/or as a gaming supplement more similar to a home-exercise program. In either event, games should be regarded as a therapeutic tool (potentially a powerful tool) that can be intelligently integrated into rehabilitation by qualified therapists. With continued advances in research and technology, games could functionally increase in the amount of time patients spend in physically active rehabilitative tasks at lower cost and with broader reach than other technological supplements. 1.

This is helpful. But splitting the data across four separate github repos is really, really not helpful. Surely github has paid plans for going over 1 Gb? Or given that your project is specifically about openness and they are Good Guys, I bet they’d waive the fee if you asked. Github already provides essentially unlimited space for public repo’s. I feel that’s already amazingly generous – I don’t want, nor do I need to push for more. This is a recipe for confusion and inconsistency. Hi Ross and Mike, it’s Arfon Smith from GitHub here. Firstly, congratulations Ross on a very impressive piece of work! I’m planning on being at BOSC this year so hopefully I’ll get to see your poster there. As for the disk usage Mike: I agree this situation is less than optimal for situations like this but the 1GB limit is actually more about us providing a predictable level of performance for all of our users than a paid vs free repo thing. The 1GB limit is in place on free and paid plans. Ross – have you considered putting all of these images into a data archiving service such as Dryad, figshare or Zenodo? They’d be able to host these images in a single dataset and mint you a DOI to go with it. Figshare & Zenodo meh – good for static, final product dumping. Dryad can be ruled-out because a) it charges and b) I think (?) it only takes data associated with a publication and/or thesis. When I’ve written/submitted a corresponding paper I may well upload to Dryad, for a more lasting record of my research. I can delete those Github repo’s at any time so they’re not optimal for long-term preservation of stuff associated with a formal publication IMO. But at this early, pre-submission, pre-analysis data-gathering stage Github seems pretty optimal & agile for doing science openly. It’s highly likely I’ll be adding to the collection, modifying the metadata of the files (adding XMP tags), I can use informative commit messages to describe the changes between versions… etc. So Github would seem to me to be much better than figshare/Zenodo which don’t seem to me to cater to dynamic storage of living, changing datasets (?). Another of Digital Science’s things – ‘Projects’ might be more suitable http://www.digital-science.com/blog/posts/introducing-projects-digital-science-s-first-home-grown-tool but AFAIK there’s still no linux version so until then it’s of no use to me. They’re all fair points – to be honest I hadn’t quite realised these weren’t a ‘static’ dataset (my bad) so I agree that something that supports explicit versioning with documentation is a better solution. I’m glad you’ve found a way to make this work for you on GitHub!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T10:13:33", "url": "http://rossmounce.co.uk/2014/05/07/plos-one-phylogeny/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
County = Count, a title of nobility. County PARIS, followed by PETER, a servant. (continuing a conversation) But Montague has sworn an oath just like I have, and he’s under the same penalty. I don’t think it will be hard for men as old as we are to keep the peace. Of honorable reckoning are you both. 5And pity ’tis you lived at odds so long. You both have honorable reputations, and it’s too bad you’ve been enemies for so long. But what do you say to my request? But saying o'er what I have said before. My child is yet a stranger in the world. I can only repeat what I’ve said before. My daughter is still very young. She’s not even fourteen years old. Let’s wait two more summers before we start thinking she’s ready to get married. Girls younger than she often marry and become happy mothers. 15She’s the hopeful lady of my earth. 25Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light. Girls who marry so young grow up too soon. But go ahead and charm her, gentle Paris; make her love you. My permission is only part of her decision. If she agrees to marry you, my blessing and fair words will confirm her choice. Tonight I’m having a feast that we’ve celebrated for many years. I’ve invited many of my closest friends, and I’d like to welcome you and add you to the guest list. At my humble house tonight, you can expect to see dazzling stars that walk on the ground and light the sky from below.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T18:17:52", "url": "https://www.sparknotes.com/nofear/shakespeare/romeojuliet/page_28/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

It is a shame that I cannot bear to hear a classic work whether it be fiction or non-fiction because the narrator's voice is grating for one reason or another . This audio was boring due to the slow voice of the narrator Matt Furey ; it isn't his fault as that's how he narrates and he cannot do it any other way . What saved this audio from an even worse rating is technology ! Luckily I now have the ability to speed up the audio by 25% by using the audible app on my listening device and therefore listen to a great classic in the self help genre without getting too bored or falling asleep . your man bored me to tears.had ro turn it off wirhin 5 mins. pity too as its a subject i want to learn more on. Love this book. Have both the audio and paper copy for the exercises. Matt reads it so well and adds great commentary. So happy I read it now... Would recommend it to everyone. The reason I wanted to read the book, it was recommended by Matt Lloyd,but I prefer the audio version because it saves time. So if you feel you need a kick up the backside and push in the directionn you want to go,meaning forward then this book will help. This book is principally about self image psychology. It’s interesting in parts and there are always small take-always in these type of books. I enjoyed it. However I had to listen to this in conjunction with an online summary as the author does digress slightly in places. Can be a bit confusing. Not too keen on references to religion, but they are few and far between. A sign really of when this book was written. On the whole, considering how old these theory’s are it still holds it own and I would still recommend it. Skips to much in some chapters. Part way through. Some good info but a few annoying skips already. Ruined it for me. I do not think there is any other book which will transfer your life faster than this one. Essential read. Definitely get an audiobook and listen to it over and over. It takes time to understand all the discoveries contained in this book. Most of it relate easily to current times, yet it was written over half a century ago and some references in the book to earlier research refer to works created much earlier and they still apply more than ever (e.g. anxiety). An incredible book that will give you the key to a wonderful transformation. Live it. This was the very first self help book I've ever read. I was still at uni and I was looking for ways to improve my life and optimise my learning abilities. After a few pages it already surpassed all my expectations. Psycho-cybernetics set me on journey I'm still on today and I was very lucky to have found this book early on (it was completely random!). Most recommended especially for beginners and all those who feel like they lost their way.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T12:29:50", "url": "https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Psycho-Cybernetics-Audiobook/B06XRJLBBK", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
You can’t be the newly minted Duchess of Sussex without a proper coat of arms, apparently. Less than a week after her wedding to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has received an official coat of arms approved by none other than the queen herself. As with her royal wedding invitations, which were printed with American ink, the coat of arms pays homage to the new bride’s American roots. According to Kensington Palace, the design is both “personal and representative” of her background, with three specific call-outs to her home state of California. The blue coloring represents the Pacific Ocean, the golden poppies at the bottom are a nod to California’s state flower, and the two golden rays on the shield reference the California sunshine. The three quills seem to be an appropriate addition for the former actress and calligrapher, as they represent “communication and the power of words.” Interestingly, her father-in-law, Prince Charles, also has three feathers on his official royal badge, which appeared on her wedding invitations. There’s a royal influence as well, with the wintersweet flowers that grow at her home of Kensington Palace mixed with the golden poppies. The lion featured on the left, meanwhile, is a reference to Prince Harry — whose own royal coat of arms also features a lion as a supporter, which is typically an animal pictured propping up the shield. The Duchess of Sussex chose a songbird as her personal supporter. And to think: Most new brides have to settle for a new toaster and some monogrammed hand towels. JAMES: Senator Kamala Harris vowed to use executive actions to tighten rules on firearms sales if she’s elected president and Congress fails to act on gun control in her first 100 days in office.I guess she won't let a little thing like the Constitution get in the way.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-23T15:00:15", "url": "https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/meghan-markles-royal-coat-arms-revealed-heres-personal-touches-mean-140535121.html", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

A few years ago, I came up with an inspiration for game day: vegan “hot wings.” It is THE most-pinned, most-visited recipe on this blog. Go figure! People were really missing their wings. Now that I’m eating (pastured) meat again, I decided to try making real wings, but with a paleo twist. These are grain-free, super easy to make, and I used two of Tessemae’s refrigerated sauces. Their ranch makes a perfect dip as is. Just let it warm up to room temperature before shaking. I drizzled the mild buffalo sauce over the wings (you could also toss them in it), then mixed it half and half with Just Mayo (the best eggless mayo out there). Really outstanding, and perfectly easy to make for your upcoming party celebrating that 50th anniversary big game. You just whisk the “breading ingredients” in a large bowl with a snap-top lid (or a gallon zip-top bag), then add the wings and shake until well coated. Spray or oil the racks while the oven is heating. Then bake. That is really it. Note: I did not write this post for compensation. I love both these products! Preheat oven to 425F/220C/gas mark 6.5. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. Spray or oil wire racks and set on the baking sheets (they usually fit inside the sheets, one overlapping the other). Whisk everything but the chicken together in a large bowl with a snap-top lid. Or put in a one-gallon zip-top bag, seal, and shake to mix. Add the wings to the breading and shake well to coat. Use tongs to move the wings to the prepared racks, leaving a little space between them. Spray the tops (if desired) with coconut oil or olive oil spray. Bake 18 minutes, then use tongs to flip over. Bake 17 minutes until golden on top. Flip over and if not brown enough, spray with oil and then bake another 2-3 minutes. Serve with dipping sauces. I used Tessemae's Zesty Ranch (straight) and their mild Buffalo sauce whisked about half and half with Just Mayo. These sounds so good! My other half loves wings but I’m not about frying stuff at home. Perfect solution! Thanks Laura, enjoy! They are so easy. I love that you breaded them. We usually just toss in and bake! Excellent choice on the Tessemae’s. Yum. These sound wonderful! I’m going to give them a try for Super Bowl!	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-20T09:04:30", "url": "https://migrainereliefrecipes.com/baked-hot-wings-paleo-dipping-sauces/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Selling a smartphone is one thing. Getting users to fill that smartphone with purchased apps and games, not to mention movies, music, books and TV shows, is quite another. Although no one disputes that there are more Android smartphones in the world, when it comes to after market monetization, the Apple App Store rules, period. Earlier today, Apple announced iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users had snapped more than $10 billion worth of apps and games from the iOS App Store in 2013, including over $1 billion in December alone. Of 2013’s $10 billion total revenues, developers took home 70 percent of that or about $7 billion. Since the iOS App Store launched in 2008, developers have been paid more than $15 billion — clearly, both app sales and developer payouts are accelerating. How does Android compare? Who knows. Google won’t say, which speaks volumes about how small those numbers must be. So, while both Apple and Goole claim hundreds of thousands of available apps, the iOS App Store is the only one paying developers dollar figures worth reporting. What of Windows Phone and Blackberry? Rounding errors compared to either Apple or Google. That said, Google should forget any potential loss of face and announce how much they’ve paid developers listing on the Google Play app store — it’s gonna be in the billions, right?	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-22T10:59:31", "url": "https://www.tapscape.com/app-store-dominance-10-billion-reasons-apple-rules/", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }
Whether due to the wind, the low lake levels, and/or dredging in the Great Lakes, the water levels on November 1, 2007, were some of the lowest that anyone had seen in the last forty plus years. These pictures were taken from the public beach. It was pretty amazing to be able to walk out the same distance from shor as the of the bow of the Emerald Isle to take its picture. What was this like down by the old sawmill dock area down by the BI Marine? Pretty unusual to be able to take these pictures from these locations without getting the feet wet.	{ "timestamp": "2019-04-24T00:46:19", "url": "http://beaverislandnewsarchives.com/Beaver%20Island%20News/SubNews/Low%20Water%20110107.htm", "language": "en", "source": "c4" }

We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since web pages must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk. This is obviously due to the expired certificate. But this made me alert as to why is Toby trying to constantly log my work, when to me it seems like it should save only what I ask it to.
