__label__cc	0.733255	0.266745	In Content Marketingby Juanita Wyght January 15, 2020 Good Content Should Be At The Heart Of Any Marketing Strategy Unlike content that is typically created for a brand’s blog, ‘Content Marketing’ campaigns are usually larger in scale, serving a higher purpose than a simple blog post. It’s a fact that, when done effectively, Content Marketing does a lot for a brand; its primary goal is to educate, engage and drive traffic, either through the site or through footfall in a store. Compelling content is used to create stories that can benefit a brand from an SEO perspective and generate broader interest around a topic; becoming a resource that offers more to the consumer, whether they are already a customer or someone who may potentially convert. The global content marketing industry is projected to have a value of over $412 million (over £312 million). Nothing Resonates With The Masses More Than Content Which Is Perfectly Crafted, In A Timely Manner, Working Flawlessly With A Trend Or Season. Previously a method that few brands adopted, when brand loyalty is at an all-time low, content marketing is now used by the likes of Evernote to Pornhub. In 2020, the importance and impact of this method of marketing will continue to be a focal point for businesses and brands, who use it to help them to ‘elbow’ their way through the noise and into the conversation. Integration At Its Finest Content Marketing should also be used in a more integrated way, helping deliver on more than one KPI. This is where the beast that is content marketing comes into its own, becoming the centre point and perfectly amplified by other digital and traditional marketing channels – Paid, SEO, Social and above the line branding can seed the content out even further. A perfect example of ‘seeding’ and ‘amplification’ is Spotify’s 2019 Wrapped ‘my year in review’ data, which used OOH advertising, print, social and PR to promote the year in music downloads. In December, Spotify ‘wraps’ up the year with an OOH/digital campaign that highlights listening habits throughout the year, while also giving its users their ‘Top Songs’ in a curated playlist. Using OOH billboards guaranteed brand communication, while using a hashtag that helps to transition people from a billboard or poster to online, the brand garners interest with press explaining to users how they can find their ‘2019 wrapped’. This year, the streaming service went bigger and better with its wrap up of the decade by using data gathered by its users to highlight some of the biggest cultural moments and streaming trends. What made it so effective was the fact that it was relatable, perfect for the end of the year and primary data gained over a long period of time. Many brands are sitting on data that is very easy to spin into a story. Appealing To More Than The Customer Effective content marketing does more than merely gain coverage, and ideas should be developed thinking more than just ‘the brand’. When strategizing for a content marketing campaign, it’s important to think above and beyond the brand. Typically, content created for this reason doesn’t promote a service of product that the brand offers. Instead, it is used to draw attention to a topic that provides more to the reader. When deciding on a content marketing idea, there are a few things that should always be considered: Who am I trying to reach? Never think about your direct target audience (e.g. a young couple planning a romantic weekend), but think more about the characteristics of the demographic. Each campaign should have a multitude of KPIs. Each content marketing campaign should have its own measurement for success. The question ‘what do I want to accomplish with this campaign?’ should always be taken into consideration when brainstorming ideas. Good ideas take time to be put together and develop. In an age of churnalism, trying to get an idea ‘out the door’ will not guarantee its success if it’s not thought through. Larger content marketing ideas need to be thought through from concept to execution. This also allows the opportunity to finesse a plan and find holes in it before it’s in creation stages. Where do you want your content to sit? When planning ideas, it’s equally important to think about the publications that you want to land coverage in – what do they usually write about? What assets would they want? Is this the ideal publication? Should Outreach be tiered? Where to seed out content is equally imperative to both planning and execution. Involving members from Paid Media, Traditional Marketing, SEO and eCommerce can help hone in on the campaign and decide how each channel can amplify reach as an extension to the initial content marketing campaign. Where To Look For Inspiration If you already have the makings of an idea, your first stop should be Google. Performing a generic around an idea such as ‘interactive map’ or ‘best cities for XX’ and filtering by news in the last month or so can help gauge what people are talking about and featuring. A few other places to have a look at for inspiration include: Newsletters like Content Curated, which share a snapshot of some of the most interesting campaigns from a variety of sectors on a monthly basis. Digital PR Examples – a Twitter feed dedicated to sharing Digital PR and Content Marketing campaigns of interest from all industries (whether they’re exciting or oddly inaccurate, such as Gucci x Disney collection which features Mickey Mouse to celebrate the Chinese “Year of the Rat”) Famous Campaigns – a website dedicated to innovative and creative PR, social media, marketing, advertising, events and creative communications, such as Greggs Vegan Sausage Roll and Burger King stating they hid a Big Mac behind every Whopper in their ads.

Amaryah Bocchino Carrie Lin Jeanette Riggins Lindsay Weiss Raúl Chacón Carlos Poza Bernadette Catalana In her more than eight years with MG+M, partner Carrie Lin has witnessed and been part of in the firm’s deepening commitment to diversity. The number of minority lawyers continues to increase and more have been promoted to partnership, providing a greater voice in firm governance, she says. In addition, a significant number of women and minorities now compose MG+M’s trial team, an important avenue to client development and partnership. Other advances have included the formation of a diversity and inclusion committee, energetic diversity recruiting and participation in national diversity conferences, says Carrie. “The increase in diversity has affected the firm culture in a positive way. More than ever, it’s part of the dialogue about what we want the firm to look like and what we want the firm to be.” Diversity and inclusion have grown organically at MG+M, according to Carrie. “From the time I started at the firm partners have taken the time to mentor female and diverse associates so that in the future they would be included in the partnership.” A member of Northern California’s Asian-American Bar Association, Carrie commends MG+M for its long-term commitment to diversity and inclusion. “People here are sincere about wanting more diversity. We understand that it’s an ongoing effort, and that everyone in the firm has to be involved.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2699
__label__cc	0.673868	0.326132	The Scientology Staff Recruitment Pitch April 3, 2018 By Mike Rinder 121 Comments Despite what they tell themselves about their expansion, this was found on “MeetUp” and I thought it fascinating. Scientology is back to trying to recruit “wogs”. Melbourne presents itself as one of the more successful “ideal” orgs — and yet they apparently don’t have a flow of new people to sign up for staff to deal with the inevitable attrition of those who leave because they cannot take the hours/insane demands or cannot survive on “staff pay”, or both. Note the typically terrible spelling and grammar. And how they carefully call this “volunteering” and are given a “stipend allowance.” I bet this is pulling them in in droves! It goes on: You can “apply” to volunteer at the world’s most notorious cult. They must be hoping to snare some people who don’t really understand english (perhaps their tortured syntax and inability to spell is a secret message to the english as a second language community?) and don’t have a computer. Lots of luck with that plan. Just another indicator that all is now hunky dory and peachy keen in the “massively expanding” world of scientology ideal orgs. And by the way, how come Melbourne isn’t St Hill size yet? It’s been “ideal” now for more than 7 years! Filed Under: Idle Orgs Tagged With: Ideal Orgs, Melbourne, staff pay, Staff recruitment Felicity Prentice says As a Melbourne girl I can assure you that Scion here is idle. The premises are gorgeous (a converted convent), but on a busy traffic road which deters ‘drop in’ visitors. On my visit I was given an extensive tour which revealed only three actual punters in the huge building. However, when Tony Ortega did his book tour here a few years ago, it was a packed standing room only crowd. So there IS an interest in Scientology, but not the way they would like it. One of the better comments today. LOL Its crazy. Supposedly there’s a job shortage. Lots of people out of work, wanting, needing a job. Well, If they ran the orgs like the businesses they really are, paid a living wage and gave people normal work hours, in shifts if necessary, why they’d be flooded with applicants and could pick the best, the brightest, the caring-est, the most dedicated, etc. etc. There could be a training period with minimum wage pay which would also give the org an opportunity to vet the person as to character and mental and emotional fitness too. But they’ll never do this because, well – I don’t know, actually! Why WON’T they do this, if its so damned important to Clear The Planet? Miscavige has no problem altering tech and admin – THAT can’t be the reason! Wynski says Aqua, you DO really know why they will not do that. (you just are not connecting the two data points) They CANNOT. Because there has NEVER been enough paying customers to support a living wage at an org. Even during the highest highs of the 70’s. You’re 100% right, Wyn, I DO know that. What I had in mind but didn’t include in my comment was the orgs being subsidized by Int Mgmt, which has BILLIONS. In other words, I was thinking with Co$ jettisoning the “each org for itself” business model and adopting instead the support system used by the Roman Catholic Church, and possibly a number of other religious organizations wherein the individual churches don’t have to completely rely on their own income (donations) but are instead supported in full or in part by the “Mother” Church or the organizations’ headquarters. After all, in Scientology, all money flows UPWARD. If the powers that be were SERIOUS about expansion, would it make ANY sense to have ALL of the money that comes in to headquarters REMAIN there? ( A stuck flow, in Scientologese?) Honestly, call it what you like, but this is a recipe for failure in ANY business or organization attempting expansion, i.e., .all the money that goes to headquarters STAYS there? Headquarters is rolling in dough and the orgs, the “factories” charged with producing auditors and Clears, are impoverished? Seriously, its nuts. Of course, to change this business model would be “out admin” per Hubbard, but you know, if it were THAT important, wouldn’t they do it? Wouldn’t Co$ AT LEAST subsidize making AUDITORS? LRH did write somewhere that “purpose is senior to policy”. And, last but not least, all of these arguments are predicated on the completely false premise that David Miscavige actually WANTS Scientology to expand, is actually sincere and honest and not an utterly devious, soul-less and amoral criminal. So the nitty gritty is what I ALWAYS struggle to understand, to wit: I know all of the above, you know all of the above , WE ALL DO, and yet again it comes down to the mind-blowing-to-me question of how the Still Ins don’t, or can’t figure this out, just as we have. NONE of this is complicated! Aaaaahhhhh!!!! (Me face-palming.) Cousin says Hilarious. To be a fly on the wall of that meetup. whatareyourcrimes says Hey, Mike, why criticize all those special needs humans in the cult. If they want to live in fantasyland, all power to them. As long as they aren’t hurting anybody… oh yeah, wait a sec. MJM says Impossible hours, low or no pay and being screamed at by seniors. What’s not to like? MJM. I’m fine with the impossible hours, and the no pay/low pay sure sounds good, but frankly, its the “getting screamed at by my seniors” part that has me worried In brief, will these face-rippings rarely occur, or will they happen on a frequent and regular basis?. Before signing anything I need assurance that being screamed at by my seniors will not manifest as mere isolated instances but instead be the type of abuse upon which I absolutely depend. They actually begin their bad English in the title line: “Each (singular) Ideal Org represents 10X expansion across their (plural) zone.” Clearly one more example of the lack of education across staff. That no proof reader catches these regular errors in their “prose” is a further tell all of the unprofessionalism rampant across the board on scio staffing. And the fact that Davey Dinkum hasn’t cared enough to order a solution is one more indication of his lack of education. If you feel bad about something it probably is bad I myself just like to play a friendly card game with my mates or friends Staff – ahhhh! T’was the bane of my cult existence, being reg’ed for staff. Never knew when I’d be hit with a surprise staff reg cycle. Got VERY wary after a while! Any staff who all of a sudden needed to “get in comm” with me. “In comm” was almost always a dog whistle for a staff recruitment cycle. Even if it wasn’t, it was NEVER good news. To continue: Theoretically, there was (and is) just ONE PPO which is short for “Personnel Procurement Officer” Theoretically, it is only ONE Scientology staff member’s job to hire staff. Theoretically. But in my org, it didn’t quite work that way! They had their OWN system. To wit ALL of them were PPO’s! Get the concept of Clark Kent suddenly going into a phone booth and becoming Superman. Got that? Good. At any time, any harmless looking staff person could suddenly turn into a PPO! The E/D, Receptionist, your Course Sup…presto! On you they could descend…fighting for truth, justice, the American Way and to get you to sign a staff contract. They’d take turns. THIS way, after being recruited by ONE of them, (always unsuccessfully, in my case) the targeted prey would then be freed up to go thru the SAME cycle with another staff Quite ingenious, actually, as it eliminated the justification for EXPLODING at any one staff member: “But we went THROUGH this already! I TOLD you this already, i TOLD you why I can’t join staff, and you SAID you understood, and now you’re asking me AGAIN, and we’re going thru this WHOLE THING AGAIN!!!!” No, you couldn’t do this, because although you’d get the same cycle from everyone (including the most amazing compliments, they’d say WONDERFUL things to you) the PEOPLE were always different. Now, I’m reading your mind here, and YES, many times I TRIED asking them, “Don’t you people TALK to one another? Must I CONSTANTLY say the SAME thing over and over again to EACH of you?” Like I said, I tried 🙂 Even now, just writing this, my stomach is clenching a little 🙂 God I’m glad to be outta there! Peggy L says I’m happy for you that you are out of there too Aquamarine. Thanks, Peggy! I hear you! My favorite was a voicemail from a staff member: “Got a quick question. Give me a call.” OMG, yes! Yes! The “quick question” stratagem. Allow me to translate: Staff Recruitment Cycle Fully Loaded. I never returned the call, but I imagine the question would be something like this: “Hey Big Being! How do we get you upgraded to Patron status before Thursday at 2 pm?” Peabody says I always replied that I took LSD. Worked every time. I guess Steve Jobs wouldn’t qualify. mwesten says Welcome everybody. Seven of you here, that’s great! What’s that? Religion? Ohhh no, you mustn’t worry. Scientology is self-help for the soul. You can be anyone or anything here, we don’t care. And yes, we totally respect freedom of religion. Although…I must admit…we don’t tolerate those who wish to practice the scientology religion outside of this organisation. That’s definitely not okay. Those people are nutjobs. And evil! Yes, they’re very evil indeed. At some point we may need your help in destroying them. But…as for other religions, yeah we are all about tolerance! Well…okay…so long as it’s not Eckankar or some shit like that. Those freaks are on our Enemies List. Yes, that’s right, we have an Enemies List. Never you mind about that now. You’re not allowed to have any dealings with them. Nope. None. Sorry. But…any other religion is totally okay! Yes, definitely! Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism… whatever floats your boat. We are, like, sooooo respectful. Freedom, man. We f*king love it. Although…hmmm…well, we might have told the IRS that you’re eventually expected to ditch other spiritual practices and commit to us 100%. Yes, it turns out we really did say that. Okay…well…perhaps it’s worth me showing you the references on “mixing practices” now as I’d hate for you to get in trouble later. You definitely won’t be allowed onto the OT levels if you’ve still got a boner for Jesus. But…if you want to pretend you’re still a believer just to keep the peace at family gatherings, that’s totally okay. Just be careful. Don’t let on that they are simply acting out hypnotic suggestions implanted into them millions of years ago by galactic slavers. Oops, sorry, you’re not supposed to know that yet! Ignore me, haha! Ahem. Hmm…just the one applicant left, I see. So you’re fine with all of that? That is good news! You’re hired! Welcome aboard. One last thing…before I forget… You’re not gay are you? Hnnng says Boner for Jesus. dwarmed says Hilarious. Seven people, though? As if. Not even with a fabulous gourmet spread of stale potato chips (that’s only for CF). TitleWaves says MWestTen: Perfect! Perfect! hgc10 says I wonder what volunteers in the mail room do all day. I Yawnalot says Same as the auditors and other staff. Old Surfer Dude says HGC, they play tiddlywinks. They do it in secret. Well, they don’t marry the bosses daughter or Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, that’s for sure. (RIP wonderful Robert Morse.) Komodo Dragon says I noticed off the bat the line: Positions we are looking to fill entail such things as: Counselling… with emphasis on the selling. Perhaps this is intentionally misspelled, a cleaver implant to subconsciously load the minds of respondents: sell, sell, sell! I think they mean conselling. You flatter them, Komodo. They’re ESL or cult semi-literates. I’ve seen a semi. I drove one. But, never a semi-literate. OSD, you’re a Born Again comedy straight man but I’m going to let this opportunity pass 🙂 Whichever way you camouflage quicksand – it’s still quicksand! Another little gem of a lie is hidden in that article, in that they state age doesn’t matter, yeah right! Being old and Scientology don’t mix, not unless you crave being punished that little bit extra above and beyond standard cult treatment. Say goodbye to any medical respite and all drugs, even prescription. It’s one of the most horrible, heartbreaking experiences, witnessing what Scientology does to and with aging people. Body breakdown because of age is bad enough, add the culture/mindset of Scientology to it… oh my. Evil thrives in the corridors of Scientology. The off switch for Scientology has already been initiated, they apparently haven’t noticed! Its the stress they endure, Yawn. Wreaks havoc with your adrenal glands. Makes you insatiably crave sugar and cheap carbs which even if they don’t lead to obesity lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease. And yes, you’re right, being old and Scientology don’t mix, so like vampires they hover over the school kids to get fresh blood. These kids age FAST in the SO because everything that’s naturally good in them gets drained and they become vampires themselves, draining from others what was drained from them. And so on. Look at Jenny Linson and that guy with her at Lax when they ambushed Marty Rathbun. Hell, look at Marty himself now! He has that empty, hollow-eyed zombie look. Ant the beauties who ambushed Mike Rinder a few years ago in a parking lot, one of whom was his ex-wife.. The same look, all of them. Poster People for seasoned, Sea Org vampires. They’re less than human and I believe its continual stress and inadequate sleep that makes hollow eyed wrecks out of them with no more natural feelings. That’s my opinion. Remember the inch wives on Anderson Cooper’s show? How can such dead eyes still somehow reveal a seething arrogance beneath the surface? Good Lord, did those ex-wives ever fail in that trained seal exhibit. Yes, wayc, the inch wives. I wouldn’t even call them “bitches” because that’s too real, too human. Dead-eyed, soul-less, heart-less …bots, I suppose – for lack of a better term. And the men are the same. There’s just nothing there, really. Hard to explain. I Yawnalot, when someone in the Sea Org reaches age 62 can they receive their Social Security check? I guess I’m assuming even though they don’t make much that they have to fill out income tax so there should be some record of deductions. I’m not American but my wife is. As far as I know you need to pay something into social security while you work to get something back later in life. The longer you’re in Scientology the worse off you’ll be when they throw you out. If I am wrong about this, someone please correct me. In Australia you are entitled to the age pension (it’s not much) but unless you’ve invested in a superannuation scheme while employed (enforced by law) there would be no super you could claim. I don’t know exactly how Scientology gets around that in Australia. I imagine it’s in the fine print – It’s a religious service, volunteer etc. Whichever way you look at Scientology, the greedy, evil ooze drips on the floor. There’s something really fishy about this though. Either the employee, whether they are independent contractors or not, would be filing something with the government. I thought the threshold was $400 earnings, and I thought the employer also had to contribute something to social security. At any rate, if you receive pay it has to be reported, at least I thought so. I remember many years ago when I was working very part time, I still had to file what I earned, even though it was only $600 because the person I worked for reported it on their tax form. Then again, this is why I pay an accountant now. Those poor people in the Sea Org are screwed no matter how hard they work 🙁 Peggy, the threshold for filing is $10,400 gtsix says You have to pay into Social Security to get anything back. So no, they get nothing. Not true gtsix. When the program was created people who were retiring (and couldn’t contribute as the program didn’t exit) got SS retirement payments. It has always been a Ponzi scheme and has ALWAYS been in arrears because it is structured like one. So David Miscavige isn’t the Pope of Scientology, he’s the Pimp of Scientology. He sits on billions of dollars made on the back of the workers and sits on all the money they make for his personal pleasures. Nice. Very classy. So, is Tom Cruise assistant pimp, or just his favorite “worker”? Yes, the govt ‘grandfathered’ in people who were retiring who hadn’t paid because the program didn’t exist. That was the exception, it is no longer. It is not “in arrears” at all. It is not a Ponzi scheme, though the those who want to destroy it will constantly bring up this falsehood. LMAO! You cannot “grandfather” people into an investment. Also, the SS “fund” went upside down DECADES AGO. In ’68 the Congress (still then held by FDRs party) & LBJ passed a law to allow Congress to dump it ALL into the general Treasury fund and spend it on general expenses of the US gov. The SS “fund” was GONE within 3 years. I hate when people, in the age of the data available via the internet choose to remain uneducated. LMFAO!!!!! (you need more exclamations) “I hate when people, in the age of data available in the internet choose to remain uneducated” Then why are you? 🙂 Lame gtsix. At LEAST be bright enough to create an original come back. So, why did you “think” that the S.S. fund had money in it when news reports over the last few decades have been warning otherwise and the data is available online at .gov websites? Karen#1 says It is such a falsehood to keep stating “Scientology Network” Miscavige used this term. it is nonsense. A Broadcasting License is needed to run a network. The Scientology cult does not have a Broadcasting license. A Network airs in all states such as CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS. The Scientology cult has purchased air time and that’s all. Purchasing a slot of airtime does NOT mean they are Network. Scientology “Network” is propaganda by misuse of terminology. PeaceMaker says Karen, I think that time have changed enough that there is arguably some validity in using “network” for online media. For example, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN – best known for Pat Robertson’s 700 Club show) is now entirely online – except for a grandfathered-in agreement to show the 700 Club on a cable channel – and putting on a full worldwide schedule of high-quality news shows and programs requires them to have a budget of about $300 million per year, a reality of the modern media landscape that Miscavige apparently overlooked. Miss Q says “Scientology requires no faith.” So much wrong with this statement. Because one will be given to you. Scientology requires no brains… disco george says Making the able more… uhhh, ummmm, yeah. Making the able more…poor. Mary Kahn says Making the able into slaves. Well, I can’t agree there. Someone can try to make someone else a slave but it can’t be done without the person’s agreement. Without agreement even physically captured and forcibly driven people are not slaves. Slavery is a state of mind. Making the able more stupid. True, and when you think of it, Miscavige and the entire CO$ are on disability. And the stupid more able. You got it! “Making the stupid more able to be stupid”. LOL! What continues to nauseate me is the billions of $ grifted in the name of charitable works at the sole disposal of the Mental Midget, while honest, hard-working, dedicated people are being exploited and abused. Additionally, none of these billions have made the way into mainstream charitable organizations and endeavors, aiding the taxpaying public at large; this is the reason tax exemption is granted. I truly Cannot Understand How They Are Allowed To Continue To Operate As They Do! The Real Crime is being perpetrated by our own government in continuing TO DO NOTHING. The *Hired Help has a lot to answer to in my estimation; they are Not earning their keep. Nailed it Marne. BoiledFrogology does absolutely nothing in charitable works, unless you consider the sociopath at the helm some kind of charity case. Well, I guess he is a charity case when you really look at him. John Doe says Ok, I’ve got a bit to say here… Around 1983 or so, the “Saint Hill Size” LRH ED came out. In that issue, there was one or two lines about how at Old Saint Hill, the organization was expanding so fast that “wogs” were hired and hatted and slammed on post and turned into scientologists in a matter of weeks. Or so the story goes. So in 1983, a few months after this issue came out, this “hire wogs” concept was taken and used by the recruiter at AOLA and ASHO and other orgs as license to open the floodgates to staff their organizations with non-scientologist recruits who would accept about 20 bucks a week, 3 meals, and a place to sleep in exchange for working 7 days a week. You can imagine the kinds of folks that took up this offer. Many homeless, many criminals (as evidenced by the amount of personal belongings that immediately started to disappear around the orgs) and one week, even the ASHO staff payroll (8,000 in cash) was lost in a strong arm robbery set up by one of these recruits with an outside accomplice. I remember talking to one of these recruits (for the cadet org) at that time. He bragged about having served time for armed robbery and attempted murder. (!!!) Yes, this experiment ended badly. The whole cohort of these recruits, over 50 men, few to no women and occupying an entire floor of Lebanon Hall was offloaded one night by a security force of RPF. Basically all kicked out overnight. As I recall, this whole fiasco took place over a 3 month period or so. But this fiasco took a far greater toll than the just the thievery that took place. It was a terrible hit to the morale of the Sea Org staff. Veteran Sea Org staff were basically being shown that the whole premise of “many are called, few are chosen, you are in the top ten percent of the top ten percent of intelligent people, part of an elite OT group” was basically bullshit. The poor SO staff were being shown that they were at the employment level in society that only homeless people would agree to. These SO members were being shown that what they did, what they had devoted their lives to, what some of them had trained years for in Scientology academies, could be done by just about any “instant hatted criminal wog”. It was an invalidation of the same magnitude as when Miscavige proclaimed to a crowd of Sea Org members that his movie star, jet setting pal Tom Cruise was the most dedicated scientologist he knew. I believe this disaster was one of the factors that contributed to the massive exodus of staff and possibly some public at that time. So yeah, Scientology, you’ve been down this path before. Don’t be surprised if a lot of that state-of-the-art equipment at your new TV station starts disappearing. Great intel and comment, John Doe. Great comments John Doe. The religion of foot bullets just keeps looking more and more ridiculous with every day and every story that comes out. Buffoonery, thy name is scientology. Traveling Around the World says Great post today. By the way, we are traveling around the world and have seen no evidence of Scientology anywhere. There are tons of other “religions” out there…but no Scientology anywhere to be found. No Missions… No VM’s…no Org’s..nada!… in the areas we have been traveling in… I think we have been bamboozled. Scientology is nothing but “smoke and mirrors” done with proper propaganda… I can’t believe “I believed” the WHOLE thing….Cringe! Thank you, JD… So eloquently said… Lynda Castell-Blanch says BUT!!! YOU GET A FREE UNIFORM WITH ANY “AGREEMENT”. I’m in!!!!! I was in line first, Lynda! I’ve dreamed of this moment all my life. A uniform. That’s what I want. Ooh, I love a man in a uniform ! I’m right here!, Deb! Ahhhhhh…Deb? You can join the elite Surfer Sea Org, OSD. On their belts are little insignia that say, “We Don’t Go In The Soup”. Where do go then? I go in the bushes. The soup, silly! The kind of waves that are all roiled up and foamy. Or am I totally off in my surfer lingo? When I lived in Hawaii back in the day, that’s what my roommates boyfriends who were surfers used to call that foam. They’d say things like, “Damn, I fell in the soup”. Airport Holiday Inn bar staff uniforms… those zombies scurrying around Clearwater aren’t dressed as nice. We have some time since passed the point of achieving uniformly unworkable technology. georgemwhite says Ammo Alamo says “Scientology requires no faith. It is something you do.” That’s our secret way of saying Scn is really not a religion, but don’t tell the IRS, they might think we meant ‘Scientology requires no faith because it is really not a religion, HA HA, BOY DID WE FOOL YOU GUYS”. Zardu Bafflemaff says Someone please send a copy of SchoolHouse Rocks to the Melbourne Org. Holy crap ,my eyes hurt. gnw says Wondering about the comment that “Scientology requires no faith” … does this not eliminate them from “church status”, i.e., tax free? Did they just shoot their own argument down or are laws different in Australia? >>They must be hoping to snare some people who don’t really understand english (perhaps their tortured syntax and inability to spell is a secret message to the english as a second language community?)<< I saw an exposé about those Princes from Africa wanting to deposit millions of dollars into our bank accounts. They are horrifically written with many spelling/grammar errors. Turns out – that's part of the bait: If you aren't keen enough to see through all the errors and actually trust what's written – you are their mark. So, maybe it isn't an issue of ignorance on CoS' part – maybe they know the tactic? Ok. So I'm hoping that's what it is … Frodis73 says I was going to post the exact same info!! I always wondered about that. The scammers look for people that ignore that stuff on purpose. It does make sense when you think about it. If one is willing to ignore that, it’s easier to ignore other red flags. Cat W. says Sadly, it’s become common to advocate that people without work experience “volunteer” in order to get it. (This happens even in places that are supposedly there to help people find jobs.) This adds a whole new level of exploitation to our already exploitative culture. Only people with some other source of support can afford to do it, and there is no guarantee of coming out of it with resume-worthy experiences. Volunteering for Scientology is much worse, of course, because it’s a “work experience” you would either have to leave off your resume entirely or wordsmith a whole lot to make it sound like something other than being in a cult. Which would not stop Scientologists from ruining a bunch more young lives to get their stats up. Burns me up. Cat, if one doesn’t have skills needed by employers what else can one expect? Businesses DON’T exist to be employment centers… I would agree, and add, that its not fair for a trainee to making the same salary as someone who has already learned the skills to do the job. The only business people I know who DON’T think this way are some I know who operate their businesses as half-way houses for their unemployed children and other relatives. “…to BE making, etc…” Aqua, as it is private property, how we want a business to pay is irrelevant. It isn’t a public concern. Badly run businesses go by the wayside unless the gov’t illegally interferes to keep them open because, truly better run concerns eventually put them out of business. The natural law about this is; The Market is ALWAYS Right. Hmmm…”The market is ALWAYS right”. For the most part, I agree with you. Some aspects of the free market could be debated though. For example, what about weather conditions that wipe out crops? Or should these farmers be solely responsible and carrying insurance for this sort of thing? I’m not knowledgeable about such matters but it would appear to me that hurricanes, floods, droughts, etc., that wipe out or severely impact crops would need some government help to stabilize the scene. But I suspect you’re not going to agree . I don’t know why I think that 🙂 Actually, I just realized that what I illustrated above is a false equivalency to your point.. A poorly run business will fail and be put out of business and replaced by another, etc., but a farmer can run his farm perfectly and still fail because of circumstances beyond his control. Your point was correct and not inclusive of circumstances beyond the business owner’s control, like the weather. Aqua, you don’t understand the comment about the “market”. It is the people deciding what to buy in aggregate, Or what happens as a result of decisions. The “market” can never be wrong because it is what it is. Regarding the farmer, why doesn’t he/she stock water for any dry spells or balance the cost of insurance as all farmers are on EQUAL footing that way? You see, the axiom is absolute. Now, the gov’t distorts this by telling the farmer, We will take $ by force from your neighbor if you fail to plan for droughts, so don’t worry. THUS, as I said earlier, unless the gov’t illegally interferes, badly run businesses will fail. Similar happens in the housing market. The Gov’t robs Peter to pay Paul (year after year) to build his house on the beach where hurricanes regularly wash away anything built. Which is why the Founders made it ILLEGAL for the Fed Gov’t to do all those things. These used to be called entry level positions which would teach you skills. Yes the pay was low, but there was pay, there was benefits. Even fast food restaurants have to train employees on customer service, running the register and properly counting money. If companies NEED employees, companies will train employees. If they don’t NEED employees, they will only hire experienced people. Everyone in Scientology is volunteering their time and Money ugg… Kronomex says Oohh, I’m so excited not to go to Melbourne and not to go to the org to not volunteer and to not get a team uniform and not wear it… I wonder if the, roughly speaking, 8×12 metre dark and dingy “Launceston Life Improvement Centre” that seems to be perpetually closed will ever be Miscavigeised into a super-dooper super org? Yes, it’s contradictory: if there is such a massive expansion, how come they are begging for any one to join them? Also, signing them as Volunteers could prevent further law suits against them. After all, they were volunteers, not contracted as employees. It as well could be they want to use them (NOT help them) to film videos for the Suck Production Media – SMP – as proof of how unprecedented the expansions is. Oh boy, they sure are desperate and their lies and deception are in an up-trending stat! Yes, you’re a volunteer but when you sign a staff contract they require your Social Security number. Well, they never got mine! Eh=Eh says Been there done that and definitely do not recommend any of that! ? Recruiting by targeting the bottom of the barrel? This will not end well. Gee, I would sing up because that sounds just wonderful, but, unfortunately, I have to have a root canal, which seems more appealing at the moment. I retired a few years ago from over 25 years in sales, design, marketing, and have to say, this is absolutely the worst help wanted ad I’ve ever seen. Keep watching, Peggy. They WILL outdo themselves with something still worse and even LESS intelligent. LOL Ok Peter, but that one will be hard to top 🙂 Then again, there is a pattern now. xenu's son says Next suggested flyer:We now wanna race muney fur Aplied Schelastiks. Last Scientologists inexorably moving into GAI. Golden Age of Illiteracy. Scientology, the criminal, para military organisation out of step with both life & itself. Left and right use to be delineated clearly within the language, now it’s all sort of blended and or is being blended depending on how much money and corruption is involved. The Scientology cult leads a new slant on enforcing this new type of homo novis and is as completely ridiculous as it is insulting to the intelligence. I think “homo novis” should be changed to “homo knobhead.” Homo not-is. Michael Creger says As always, Thank you for this mike. Funny, but not at the same time. BKmole says This ad guarantees a quality level of staff that will surely lead to more seasoned staff leaving. The desperation to take in unqualified help insures poor delivery, overload of qualified staff and erosion of group unity. This is one more indices that the cult is going down. Thanks mike for you continued exposure of Scientology. It is working! BKmole, I have a theory that there may be some true espionage and effective saboteurs quietly working within scientology. Funny your name is BKmole, come to think of it. Hey Miscavige how does that make you sleep at night? BOLO-Be On Look Out says I thought they were expanding at an epic rate? With all of the new and dedicated scientologists there must surely be a few hundred stay-at-home spouses at each Org that would love to help 10-15 hours per week. What about the 250 plus in the teen programs? They could help after school and on weekends. I see this in other churches. It seems strange that the utopia of scientology where one would expect that chocolate bunnies crap gold coins and unicorns shoot rainbows out their ass cannot seem to find people for simple tasks. First, what does ScnTV staffing have to do with the Melbourne org? They really are trying to leverage it bizarrely. Plus there are no real day-to-day operations on a “network” that is only recycling canned shows, all the”broadcasting” is being outsourced to DirectTV and the server farms providing the online video feeds, where competent outside professionals are being paid good money for the work involved. And “the network has already led to massive expansion”? Really? Where is there even a shred of evidence for that? Do the people writing that actually believe that it’s going on, presumably having been told that it’s happening somewhere else; or are they just knowingly lying, perhaps using some very stretched and deceptive definition of the word “expansion”? The prupose of the nework isnt fur making the expashun beggur but fir macking the desert smallar. Nice try, scientology troll. Did you just eskape from a shipping container and have a no place to gro? Don’t speak Engrish and are afraid of being deported? Join are winner teem! Kyle says All your faith are belong to us!

According to a Noble Avenue resident, a delivery man from Fuji Restaurant opened her front door Thursday night at about 9 p.m. and asked for help. The man’s face was covered in blood. Police arrived and the driver told them he was delivering food for Fuji in Milford when he was attacked and his delivery car and cell phone stolen. Police later said the driver had been hit in the head with a blunt object. A bag of takeout food and a bottle of soda lay on the sidewalk in front of a Noble Avenue home, near where an ambulance crew was assessing the driver. It wasn’t clear if someone who lives on Noble Avenue had called for a food delivery, or if the driver had been called there on a ruse. One neighbor said he heard a commotion, looked outside and saw several people fighting in the street, and called the police. As police were investigating on Noble Avenue, Police Detective Brien McMahon spotted the stolen car in the area of Meadowside and Seaside Avenue, according to Police Spokesman Michael Devito. “When he attempted to stop it, two suspects bailed, causing the vehicle to roll into a utility pole,” Devito said. Police Officer Stephen Napoletano and his K-9 partner Mack located one of them, a 14-year-old boy from Bridgeport. The juvenile is charged with carjacking, larceny, second degree assault, robbery, interfering with arrest and conspiracy to commit these crimes. The second suspect was not located Thursday night, police said. If anyone has information that could help identify the second suspect they are asked to contact the Milford Police Department at 203-878-6551, or visit milfordpd.org and click “Crime Tips.” Reference Case # 0476-17. The stolen vehicle was impounded, police said. Fuji Chinese and Japanese Restaurant is located at 1091 Bridgeport Avenue, not far from Noble Avenue.

__label__wiki	0.975992	0.975992	Cancer Council supports Tobacco21 but state government yet to act Eliminate Cancer12 Aug 2019 Independent member Ivan Dean has had to delay the second reading of his Tobacco21 bill, despite its popularity with both the Tasmanian community and national health organisations. Aerial view of Tasmania’s Parliament Building in Hobart. Photo Credit: AngryBird. Cancer Council Australia has announced its support of Tasmania’s proposed Tobacco21 bill, demonstrating the potential national significance of the bill. The bill, which would raise the legal age for purchasing cigarettes from 18 to 21, has been put to Tasmania’s upper house by independent minister Ivan Dean. The state has one of the highest smoking rates in Australia and 78 per cent of Tasmanian’s support the proposed change. However, despite this support, Mr Dean has elected to delay the bill’s second reading, while it remains unclear whether the state government will back the proposal. Sanchia Aranda, chief executive of the Cancer Council, penned a letter to Tasmania’s Premier Will Hodgman, in support of the bill. “This bill has the potential to be the forerunner of national change, with Tasmania demonstrating national leadership in making tobacco control a priority again,” Pr Aranda wrote. Mr Dean is pleased the Tasmanian community, and health officials across Australia agree that the policy is what the state needs. “I am thrilled that Cancer Council has come out in support of Tobacco21,” Mr Dean said. “It is validating to know that Australia’s peak cancer body believes this bill is the way forward not only for Tasmania but also the country. I am of course disappointed the government is yet to announce its position, but I believe that in time we will get there. “I am hopeful that over the coming weeks, we can work together to answer any questions the government has. Once that happens, then we can get on with saving young Tasmanian lives.” Last week, Mr Dean led a legislative council briefing to examine the proposed bill. The briefing was attended by Tasmania’s leading health organisations including, the Australian Medical Association, the Menzies School of Medical Research, the Australian Dentist Association and Smoke-free Tasmania, all of which support Tobacco21. Tobacco retail groups also attended the briefing, including the Australian Retailers Association, the Australasian Lottery and Newsagents Association, and the Tasmanian Hospitality Association. The retailers, which have a history of receiving funding from the tobacco industry, all opposed the bill, arguing Tobacco21 would have a serious effect on sales. Bruce Mansfield, Eliminate Cancer adviser, believes that the briefing went well. “The legislative council has asked for further time to consider the information presented at the briefing, and Mr Dean has done the right thing delaying the bill for now,” Mr Mansfield said. “This is an opportunity for members to consider all the information that was presented last week, then Mr Dean can confidently approach the second reading.” At this stage, Mr Dean is yet to set a date for the second reading. Once the second reading has occurred, debate on the bill can commence, followed by the vote. If passed, the bill will then travel to the lower house to be considered by the House of Assembly.

Photo Credit: Benjamin Horgan. Work on Exmouth’s new marine research hub is expected to get underway in early 2020 after the Minderoo Foundation and Shire of Exmouth signed a lease agreement today. The newly inked agreement will see Minderoo’s Flourishing Oceans team progress with $2.5 million of capital works for the new research centre. Minderoo Foundation chairman Andrew Forrest AO said the signing of the lease marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Exmouth’s history. “Exmouth’s natural beauty and proximity to the stunning Ningaloo Reef means it is one of the world’s great tourist destinations. Now, it will also be known as one of the world’s leading destinations for cutting edge marine research,” Mr Forrest said. “We want to work with the community to diversify the economy and provide reasons for people to be in Exmouth all year round, not just six months of the year.” Mr Forrest said Flourishing Oceans had held a number of meetings with researchers keen to study Ningaloo Reef and use the facility once it was up and running. “Marine scientists the world over have shown great interest in utilising the new facility and we are in ongoing discussions with leading universities and research bodies,” he said. “This will be one of the world’s pre-eminent marine research hubs right here in Exmouth, a stone’s throw from Ningaloo Reef. “We intend to be in a position to accommodate the first research programs at the centre in time for the coral spawning event in autumn next year, with the centre to be fully operational by late 2020.” Minderoo has committed to engaging with local businesses and will invite them to tender on building works and ongoing maintenance of facilities and operational assets, including boats, seawater systems, accommodation and vehicles. Shire of Exmouth President Matthew Niikkula said Minderoo’s investment was a vote of confidence in Exmouth. “Not only will local businesses benefit from the amount of people being attracted to town by the new research hub, local high school students and those studying at TAFE will be afforded a golden opportunity to study marine life on their doorstep,” he said. “The Shire is excited to be working with Minderoo and the Flourishing Oceans team to deliver maximum community benefit from the project.” Flourishing Oceans Overview by Minderoo Foundation Established by Andrew and Nicola Forrest in 2001, we are a modern philanthropic organisation seeking to break down barriers, innovate and drive positive, lasting change. Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, with seven key initiatives spanning from ocean research and ending slavery, to collaboration in cancer and community projects.

__label__wiki	0.574723	0.574723	MAC: Cerdanyola has a lot to celebrate! by Ricard Mas For more than a decade now when we talk about art institutions, we do so in complacently: there’s no money, people aren’t interested in art or in heritage…as Barça’s van Gaal used to say: “always negatif”. And now, precisely a decade ago, well aware of these difficulties, the Art Museum of Cerdanyola (MAC), has made a huge effort to overcome them and turn them into something positive. MAC’s modern style room. Photo: Llorenç Conejo-Llorco. On 11 September 2009, at the height of the economic crisis, the MAC opened its doors for the first time. It is a small space – a Modernist building which has housed a casino, been a summer residence and the headquarters of a pharmaceutical laboratory. And the team is even smaller – just the director Txema Romero and his assistant. There is no money for acquisitions, but in ten years the collection has gone from 300 to 3000. All donations. And most of them private. This, along with the disinterested collaboration of the two prestigious art historians: Josep Casamartina, Fina Duran and Joan Maria Minguet. Night view of the MAC. Photo: Xavi Olivé. And even if the MAC is pressed for space, a glance at the activities it offers makes it seem much bigger. The soul of the museum is its collection, of course, but if a collection isn’t explained, if we don’t get the opportunity to find out more about it, if it doesn’t provoke dialogue between different thinkers then it cannot help us to understand our role in society, or promote values such as gender equality or intergenerational collaboration, and runs the risk of becoming a sterile space. Ismael Smith, Manola, c. 1907. Glazed porcelain reproduced by Antoni Serra Fiter. Col·lecció Nacional d’Art de la Generalitat de Catalunya’s deposit. Take two examples who are almost contemporary: postmodernist draughtsman and sculptor Ismael Smith (Barcelona, 1886-White Plains, Nova York, 1972) and painter Josep de Togores (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893-Barcelona, 1970). Each has a room dedicated to them. Smith was Jewish and homosexual: Sogores deaf from the age of thirteen. These factors somehow marked their lives and their work. Finestres de les roses. Property of Domènech brothers. MAC deposit. The permanent collection which occupies the first floor is divided into four sections: the route begins with a section dedicated to the two architects of the building. Gaietà Buïgas, who built the theatre-casino in 1894 for the summer visitors; and his nephew Eduard Maria Balcells, who was commissioned around 1910 by the indiano Evarist López, to turn the building into a luxury summer residence. Ismael Smith, “Enceinte ‘grossesse’ Enfin, je puis me reposer!”. Pregnant Mona Lisa, 1912. Enrique García-Herráiz donation in memory of Paco Smith. The route ends with a room dedicated to the colony of artists working in Cerdanyola from 1920 to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. They were creators working within the second wave of noucentisme and Art Deco such as Italian mould-maker Alberto Lena, sculptor Josep Viladomat, painters Manuel Humbert and Marian Anton Espinal and illustrators Valentí Castanys and Josep Coll. The room dedicated to Ismael Smith contains drawings, prints, ceramics, jewellery and sculptures by this great artist who we are still in the process of discovering; a rich collection brought together thanks to the donations by Enrique García-Herráiz – the artist’s chosen heir, the Artur Ramon Gallery and the collection of Marie Christine Vila, daughter of the painter Joan Vilacasas. Josep de Togores, Femme avec raisin (Woman with bunch of grapes), 1926. In the room dedicated to Togores there are works that pass from noucentisme, to magic realism, surrealism and more traditional realism such as the epic The Drunk (1911) or the sensual Woman with Grape (1926). There are also works by other noucentistes, such as the sculptor Manolo Hugué, with his bust of Togolo’s daughter, Tití’s Head (1927). Josep de Togores, Portrait of Manuel de Togores, 1918. But the biggest and lightest space in the MAC is the Modernist Room, with a painting by Anglada-Camarasa, sculptures and ceramics by Josep Llimona, Marian Burgués, Modernist furniture…all bathed in the light shining through the original stained glass windows of the building: the Dames de Cerdanyola. Irises, tulips, oranges, peonies, lotus flowers, passionflowers, daisies, roses…behind these compositions lies a rich symbology of love and beauty. These panels were installed during the refurbishment carried out by jeweller Evarist López when he bought the building and turned it into his summer residence round 1910. The works are attributed to the Alsatian glassmaker Ludwig Dietrich von Bearn, and no it is not known for certain where the ideas came from for their composition (possibly the architect Eduard Maria Balcells, who ran a glass shop jointly with his sister) or who did the original drawings. Dames del gronxador (Swing Ladies) When Cerdanyola City Council wanted to buy the building, the glass panels had already been removed. They remained in private ownership until they were acquired by the Urban Planning Consortium of the ‘Centre Direccional de Cerdanyola’, and they were returned to the MAC in 2009. Between 2013 and 2014 they were restored by specialist Jordi Bonet, with the support of the Diputació de Barcelona and the Centre de Restauració de Béns Mobles de Catalunya. And last year they were declared Items of National Cultural Interest. Dames dels cignes (Swan Ladies). The Dames de Cerdanyola work is made up of two scenes: the Dames del gronxador (Ladies on the swing) and the Dames del llac (Ladies at the lake). The second scene is made up of two glass panels: the Dames dels cignes (Ladies of the swans) and the Dames de les tulipes (Ladies of the tulips). Iconographically the three glass panels show two female figures in a floral setting. Dames de les tulipes (Ladies of the Tulipes). The ladies in the central scene are feeding the swans with peonies, the spineless rose. Do they symbolise love without pain? Do they allude to the myth of Leda and the Swan? Or perhaps they are praising restful love, without all the initial frenzy? If you want to find out the meaning you can always go to the MAC and ask. Better still, if you go on 19 September at 7pm you can join the 10th anniversary celebrations and the declaration of the Item of National Cultural Interest. Why not go and enjoy a toast to the museum yourself?

The design, the documentation of designs, the inspection of the construction of buildings, the contribution to urban context, and the design of gardens and interiors all form part of the activities of the architect. Architectural design projects range in size and complexity from small alterations for a single house to large, multi-level commercial, industrial or public buildings. Architects are expected to develop and practise a wide variety of skills including: creative design, planning skills, technical expertise, problem-solving, managerial functions, financial knowledge, legal requirements and communication skills. The Mind behind the Art To showcase the success women can achieve in this field, we chatted to Sarah Calburn – one of our country’s leading female architects. Sarah founded her award-winning, Johannesburg-based architectural practice in 1996, which has produced many outstanding houses and small commercial projects. She believes one of her successes is the pleasure she still takes from being involved and completing each project. Sarah graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand, where she initially enrolled for town planning. Architecture wasn’t her first choice, but a rather excited mother, who was an architect, persuaded her to pursue the career after a three-day stint in town planning. She then ‘moved downstairs’ to architecture and has never looked back. “I feel that my greatest formative influences came from two particular pieces of architecture, the Herbert Baker buildings at Roedean School, which I attended from Grade one to Grade 12 and a classic 60s house built by Neil and Sheena Duncan on a beautiful river stand in Parkhurst. The spaces in which you grow up are crucial to the shape of your future attitudes to society and the world. The generosity, intimacy and beauty of these buildings literally opened my consciousness to the enormous power of space.” Sarah has worked as an architect in Paris, Hong Kong and Australia. She shares her knowledge by teaching design at various educational institutions, as well as through her own initiatives. She started a series of critical design master-classes called ‘Rapid Thought Transport: Architects Re-imagine Joburg’− while she was on the board of the Gauteng Institute for Architecture. She was instrumental in organising the first biennale of Architecture ZA, AZA 2010. Sarah makes a vocal contribution to urban debate through her writing, and, apart from her houses, has a number of buildings about town: Gallery Momo, the Paul Smith Shop, Togu’na, and the House on Fire IN SWAZILAND. Architect or Therapist? Sarah believes that her ‘spatial memory’ has assisted with her fluent and effective design. “I love being an architect precisely because it demands a complex mix of skills. The most rewarding part of the job is having happy clients who love their buildings, and return for other projects.” The trust between client, architect and builder needs to be built and conflict management is a strong skill that every architect needs to develop. Listening to the client and becoming attuned totheir desires is imperative in a successful relationship. “Architecture is a lot like being a therapist – often one deals with people who don’t always want the same thing. You need to be calm and be a creative mediator. It is possible to transcend these kinds of difficulties by focusing on other kinds of potential inherent in wellconstructed space. In the end, this is better than being a therapist, because the castle in the air is thereby enabled, imagined, and then built,” she laughingly comments. When Sarah was asked which of her projects shewould consider her favourite, she responded by saying, “All buildings are challenging; one is intimately invested in each one, sometimes for different reasons. My favourites are the ones that give me kick each time I return to them.” Sarah is completely involved in all her projects from the design to the last brick. “If we just tossed things off, what joy would be had from the finished product?” she asks. Sarah shares some of the challenges she has faced as a professional, “I was most delighted to hear Blade Nzimande talking about a new Artisanal Vocational Training programme the other day. Ambition in this ‘computer generation’ has removed itself to the virtual realm. Clean work or the mastery of Microsoft Word and Excel is the ambition of young people. We are in a pretty pickle if we forget how to build our world.” annelizew@ceomag.co.za Physical Address 61 Herderkruin Crescent \| Woodhill Estate \| Pretoria \| Woodhill Tel: +27 667 6623 E-mail: nyashar@ceomag.co.za	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2713

The Kris Lager Band has been zigzagging the country and spreading their brand of feel-good funk and heavy soul for more than 15 years. A genuine musical journeyman, Lager is that rare, dynamic performer who delivers a combination of musical skill and charisma. He creates a fun and interactive show laced with road-tested songs and contagious grooves that inspire fans to dance, clap and sing along. The group’s self-produced „Love Songs & Life Lines“ is an emotional statement from an artist better known for jamming, looking at the bright side, and promoting a „celebrate life“ mantra. Lager tackles challenges such as touring while being married with children, and dealing with the death of his father, turning his emotions into memorable musical statements. „Love Songs & Life Lines“ also taps into Lager’s Americana side as he channels his love for people and music and explores topics such as purpose and mortality. The album was mixed by legendary producer Jim Gaines, known for his work with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Steve Miller, Van Morrison and others. The Kris Lager Band is a well-oiled groove machine led by funky drummer Scooby Sha Bo Bo (John Fairchild), who has given Lager one of the funkiest backbeats in the business for more than a decade. The group’s youngest member is sax player Lefever, who is emerging as one of the finest young horn players on the scene. Holding it all down is veteran bassist Aaron Underwood, a Wichita, Kansas, native who has toured the country with various outfits since he was a teen. 1. AURORA BOREALIS 3:59 2.

Edward Odhiambo disappeared on July 12th in the German capital, Berlin and efforts to trace him have been fruitless, with police fearing that he might be in danger, according to Kenya diaspora news website Mkenya Mjerumani. Odhiambo was on his way to meet friends on the day he disappeared and his mobile phone was last reachable at midnight on July 12th. After failing to show up, his friends assumed he had gone to visit his sister in Kiel but questioned why he had not informed them. His sister said she did not know the whereabouts of her brother when his friends called her. “None of his friends know where he is since that night, his roommate reported him missing because they all thought he was with me but nobody could find him on phone. It is unlike him to disappear without a word to anybody. This is not normal for him”, Odhiambo’s sister Millie said. CCTV footage shown to his sister by police captured Odhiambo at Berlin-Lichtenberg on Saturday, July 13th. Police said they had been called by a passerby who spotted Odhiambo on the platform bleeding. Officers said they let him go after he refused any sort of assistance from them. “Someone called police and Rettungwagen (ambulance) on Saturday at 5:30 pm when they saw my brother bleeding at the S-Bahnhof, the cops asked if he needed medical assistance and he refused and because he didn’t commit any crime they let him walk. By then nobody knew that he was missing and he wasn’t himself. So since then, nobody has seen him. That’s what the cops told me and it was on the CCTV footage”, Millie said. Millie said the matter was handed to Federal Criminal Police (KriPo) after further review of CCTV footage showed Odhiambo in the company of a man well known to the police. Police believe Odhiambo might have been drugged by the man and could be in danger. “As of this evening the case is being handled by the KriPo and we’re hoping for good news. [The case has been escalated] Because the last man seen with him (Odhiambo) has had previous run-ins with the police and is on their watch list,” Millie noted. “The police say the club they had gone to is known for selling drugs and it appeared as if my bro might have been drugged when the police last saw him in Lichtenberg”. Wololo mayie Mon, 07/22/2019 @ 02:36pm Praying for his safe return 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Mugikuyu One month ago a Kenyan woman was found murdered. Now a Kenyan man has gone missing. How many black people do they kill in a week in Germany? Hitlerism is very much alive and thriving in Germany and Kenyans seem to forget that especially when someone pretends to be kind to them offering free stuff their survival antennas are switched off. Nothing is free in this world. This gullibility needs to stop. Anonymous UI Tue, 07/23/2019 @ 10:35am We pray for his safe return. The "so called blacks" must always keep in mind that while in western countries, they are in hostile territory and be aware of their surroundings. These are the same countries that have had blacks in slavery for 400 years. When they call Africans "shit-hole" countries, that is how they treat Africans-as "shit-holes". Africans, read the history and the suffering of the "so called" blacks in these countries because when you move to these countries, you don't become white, you are at treated as the "so called" blacks in those countries and sometimes worse because you are a foreigner. Wake up Africans, as they make the west white again, let us make Africa black again. Do some research on weather, political climate and more importantly Race relations. Do research of every country you are trying to move to, Google it, use you tube, talk to your relatives and friends; talk to your black brothers in those countries and make an informed judgment.

The outstanding women were presented with the awards during this year’s Mothers’ Summit which held at Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka. 27 deserving recipients who met the criteria were awarded in six categories which included; seven awardees as Women of Excellence, three as Epitome of Leadership, three as Business Ambassadors, two as Sports Amazons, two as Beacon of Hope, and nine women as Beacon of Faith respectively. Some of the award recipients were the wife of Late Nnamdi Azikiwe, Professor Uche Azikiwe, the first female Governor in Nigeria, Dame Virgy Etiaba and a former Minister of Women’s Affairs, Iyom Josephine Anenih. Also honoured were the Permanent Secretary , Federal Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Mrs Ifeoma Anigbogu, the Chief Judge of Anambra, Justice Ijem Onwuamaegbu, a renowned author, Chimamanda Adichie among others. Presenting the awards, Governor Willie Obiano said the women were recognized for their immense contributions to the development of the society. Governor Obiano announced that the women would be honoured with the ‘Grand Commander ‘of Anambra State during another special programme next year.

__label__wiki	0.924403	0.924403	Former correctional officer pleads guilty to assaulting inmate Travoris Bottley faces a maximum statutory penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Andrew Emett SOURCENationofChange Image Credit: WUWM A former correctional officer pleaded guilty Thursday to assaulting a federal inmate housed at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) in Beaumont, Texas. In May, his supervisor pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the correctional officer in his assault on the inmate. On June 8, 2017, Lieutenant Khristal Ford opened the door of a medical observation cell occupied by an inmate for being disrespectful and throwing a food tray. Lt. Ford then ordered Officer Tavoris Bottley to “take care of it.” Bottley entered the cell and punched the inmate several times in the head without justification. Following the assault, Ford submitted a written memorandum that omitted any reference to the punches and included a falsified breathalyzer photo sheet, all in an effort to conceal the incident and make it appear as if the inmate was highly intoxicated at the time of Bottley’s assault. On May 1, Bottley was indicted on charges that he used unlawful force on an inmate and then submitted a false incident report. On May 29, Ford pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting another correctional officer in his assault on an inmate. On Thursday, Bottley pleaded guilty to assaulting the federal inmate housed at FCC Beaumont. In his plea agreement, Bottley admitted that he punched the inmate even though the prisoner did not pose any threat at the time. “This conduct by a federal correctional officer erodes public trust,” said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division in a recent statement. “The Department of Justice will continue to vigorously prosecute those who violate the civil rights of inmates.” “Correctional officers have an obligation to be professional” stated U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown of the Eastern District of Texas. “Unprovoked violence not only violates the rights of the inmate, but hurts the reputations of law enforcement professionals who do things the right way.” “When Bottley assaulted this inmate, he violated the inmate’s civil rights and he betrayed the oath of office he swore to uphold when he became a federal Corrections Officer,” asserted Robert A. Bourbon, Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Dallas Field Office.

The alteration of IGF-1 levels and relationship between IGF-1 levels and growth velocity during GnRH analogue therapy. Muratoglu Sahin N1, Peltek Kendirci HN2, Çetinkaya S1, Savaş Erdeve Ş1, Aycan Z1. Dr. Sami Ulus Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatric Health and Disease Training and Research Hospital, Paediatric Endocrinology Clinic, Ankara, Turkey. Hitit University, Division of Paediatric Endocrinology, Corum, Turkey. Background Some studies have examined the effect of gonadal suppression on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and the growth velocity (GV) with conflicting results. Methods Forty-four girls treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) for central precocious puberty (CPP) were included in the study. IGF-1 levels were examined at the beginning and after 12 months of treatment. Results IGF-1 and IGF-1 standard deviation score (SDS) according to chronological age (CA-IGF-1 SDS) at diagnosis were positively correlated with chronological age (CA), anthropometric measurements, stage of puberty, bone age (BA), BA-CA, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), oestradiol, uterus length, endometrium thickness and ovarian volume (OV) at diagnosis (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in IGF-1 levels after treatment. However, there was a negative correlation between ΔIGF-1 SDS and IGF-1 level, CA-IGF-1 SDS and BA-IGF-1 SDS at diagnosis (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between GV and IGF-1, ΔIGF-1. GV was negatively correlated with basal LH level at diagnosis (p = 0.008, r = -0.397). Peak LH levels of the patients who had GV-SDS < 0 were more suppressive than those of the patients who had GV-SDS > 0 after 12 months of treatment. Conclusions It was determined that the IGF-1 level and CA-IGF-1 SDS at baseline were correlated with more advanced pubertal stage prior to treatment. Initiation of treatment with a relatively high level of IGF-1 increased the risk of a decrease in the IGF-1 level. Likewise, the initiation of treatment with a relatively high LH level may increase the risk of low GV, but low GV was not related to the IGF-1 level. Increased sex steroid suppression may increase the risk of low GV.

Bernie Sanders is Completely Electable Against a Republican, a fish would be electable. Bernie Sanders is better than most fish. Let’s be real: It’s looking very possible that Donald J. Trump will either be the Republican presidential nominee this year or he will mount an independent run that could pull enough votes away from the Republican nominee to ensure a Democratic victory. Yes, even against Bernie Sanders. But Sanders doesn’t need that to happen in order to win. In fact, it’s time to put to bed altogether this notion that Bernie Sanders is unelectable; clearly he’s not, and clearly this year voters that both major parties have depended on to be theirs no matter what are raising their middle fingers to that notion. Have You Seen the Polls Lately? Polls are of course only as good as the people conducting them, and polls can be ridiculously bad at predicting things. But as of right now, Bernie beats both Trump and Cruz handily. The whole thing about Hillary winning a lot of popular votes in the primary states she’s won is that they were a lot of states that will go red in the general anyway. So we’re back to the idea that according to the polls at least, Sanders has every bit the shot that Clinton does to wallop the GOP’s candidate. Then again, this is America. We do dumb stuff proudly here. All hail President Trump. Millennials Love Bernie Scoff if you want to at this fact, but if you think the undeniable truth that young Democratic voters lean hardcore Bernie isn’t a) a pain Hillary’s ass and b) exactly like the huge surge of young voters that helped elect President Obama in 2008, then I can’t help you live a life free of walking into walls and forgetting where you put your pants. If Sanders is the nominee, you could see a massive tidal wave of voters who are pulling the handle — for the very first time in their lives — for Bernie. Democrats should already grasp this, but just in case you forgot: You all are a coalition now. What that means is that primary fights are going to be nasty because the factions are going to fight for control of the big machine’s direction, but you need each other. Write off the Millennial vote at your own peril. Convincing them that voting for Hillary isn’t selling him out in the General Election should be a very real goal of yours, if you’re a Clinton supporter that is. Buy this shirt from our exclusive store! He’s Not a Fucking Republican This may in fact be his biggest selling point, really. At the end of the day, if Bernie ends up being the nominee, it is almost a certainty that Hillary supporters will pivot and vote for him like they did for Obama in 2008. They may be leery of some his promises, but in the end the thought of Republicans controlling all three branches of government while they are currently trying to decide whether to run an attention whore failure of a trust fund baby, or the least douchey of two junior Senators, both of whom are religious nuts who think they should have more say in a rape victim’s reproductive decisions than the rape victim should will drive a lot of people to whomever the Democrats run up there. Which of course is all the more reason why the DNC’s apparent attempts to stifle debate are puzzling. People should get that as long as they don’t throw a tantrum and completely sit this November’s election out, it will still most likely be Republican vs. Sane People. It might be Republican vs. Sane People vs. Crazy Attention Whore Reality TV Star, but in that equation, the odds look even better for the “Not a Republican” candidate. A Lot of Us Aren’t Frightened by Socialism – We Know We Already Have it Here The Socialism Curse just isn’t a thing, like at all. Yes, lolbertarians and other right-wingers will forever and ever recoil in horror at the mere mention of it, but for the rest of us, socialism is a big fat “Who fucking cares?” A lot of us view the military industrial complex as a form of socialism because taxpayers pay the defense contractors’ bids, and the people are the government. We feed, clothe, shelter and educate every single veteran, and give them free health care for life. That is what democratic socialism looks like. As is Social Security and Medicare. A lot of us understand one of the big things of the last century was the New Deal, and that indeed it fundamentally reshaped the relationship between our government and its citizens. A lot of us think that’s a good thing, and a lot of us think Bernie Sanders is the dude who best represents a return to that promise. So socialism-schmocialism as far as we’re concerned. It doesn’t mean we don’t want his math to add up, it just means we don’t have to accept Reaganomics as our only economic platform.

__label__wiki	0.516936	0.516936	MONEY INTO LIGHT FILM INTERVIEWS, ESSAYS AND ARTICLES BY PAUL ROWLANDS AN INTERVIEW WITH GEORGE ARMITAGE (PART 2 OF 3) George Armitage might just be one of the most underrated filmmakers of the last fifty years. His most well-known films - MIAMI BLUES (1990) and GROSSE POINTE BLANK (1997) are regarded as cult classics that saw Armitage deliver his most fully realised work yet. But all of his work displays a filmmaker interested in the cheerful loners, outcasts and criminal elements who couldn't join 'straight' society even if they wanted to. His films, ranging from the Roger Corman-produced sexploitationer PRIVATE DUTY NURSES (1971), the blaxploitation thriller HIT MAN (1972, a remake of GET CARTER), the Vietnam-minded action film VIGILANTE FORCE (1976), the amiable racing comedy drama HOT ROD (1979), to the compromised but still fun Elmore Leonard adaptation THE BIG BOUNCE (2004), are all irreverent, fast-paced, funny and human tales that are irresistible. In the second part of our three-part interview, I spoke to George about the making of his two cult classics, MIAMI BLUES and GROSSE POINTE BLANK, his friendships with Jonathan Demme and Quentin Tarantino, Gene Hackman's original involvement in MIAMI BLUES, the improvisation process on GROSSE POINTE BLANK and filming the memorable fight scene, and how his school reunion went! Part one of the interview. Jonathan Demme was a producer on MIAMI BLUES. How far back does your friendship and association go? I was an actor in VON RICHTHOFEN AND BROWN (1971), and Jonathan was the United Artists publicist in London. He interviewed me on the set of the film and we hung around a little bit. I came back to LA after the picture, and he was living down the street on Beverly Glen. He came up and said 'Hi' one day and he came in and we smoked a doobie. We've been good friends since. Later on he threw me a lifeline with MIAMI BLUES. It was great to get going on a picture again. What did you like the most about the Charles Willeford's original novel of Miami Blues? I loved the book. It was wonderful. It was sardonic and funny and goofy enough and heartwarming. It's the girl's story in a funny way. It's really about relationships. The film was great fun to make, and it was great having Jonathan there. It was my second time working with the DP, Tak Fujimoto, and he was fantastic. What kind of set was it with that powerhouse trio of Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward? Jennifer totally understood her character and the film. I'm not sure Alec really got the film, but that doesn't mean anything because nobody really 'gets' the film. But he definitely got the character. He did many interesting things on the film. He was really the first actor who interested me with improv. He would come up with stuff all the time. I remember we were shooting in a tin house and it rained for a long time, and Alec, to entertain the cast and crew who were huddled together, did an impersonation of every one of us, from me to Tak to the grips. It was extraordinary. I wish we had filmed it. We've tried to do a couple of things together since the movie. Was he challenging to work with in any way? He was a little, yeah. It was probably from being abused by other directors. I would rewrite stuff for him and change lines, but I told him ''It's your character. Just go for it!'' And he did, and he was wonderful. Was there a lot of improvising on the film? Alec and Jennifer both thought highly of the script so we pretty much stuck to it. The improvising was in the actions between them. They were very comfortable in that respect. Did you speak a lot with Gene Hackman about playing Hoke originally? Fred Ward was going to play Junior, and Gene was going to play Hoke. I met with Gene, and he was wonderful. I really enjoyed spending time with him. Jonathan Demme and I were sitting around talking about Alec's audition and how tremendous he was, and I said ''What are we going to do? Should I write another character for Alec?'' Fred was one of the producers, and he brought us the script, and he wanted to play Junior. We started thinking that Fred would be perfect as Hoke, and Jonathan and I kicked that idea around a bit. We told Fred our idea to have Alec play Junior and for him to play Hoke, and he agreed. He thought Alec was great too. I remember Fred saying ''I'll call Gene. '' Gene was fabulous about it, and we thanked him in the credits. There are actually one sheet posters of some of his films in certain places in the film. There's one in the scene where Junior robs the coke dealers with the Uzi squirt gun, for example. What footage didn't find its way into the final cut? There was more of Hoke and his family but we found it slowed down the thrust of the film, which Fred agreed on. I don't remember any great scenes, but it's always painful to cut scenes out. As I said, I like my films to be 100 minutes and to move. They can't dawdle. The editor, Craig McKay, was wonderful to work with on that film. He was a big help. Was GROSSE POINTE BLANK more of a collaborative film than usual? I am always collaborative with the actors and the crew, and I like to make it comfortable so that they can do their best work ever, with me protecting them. GROSSE POINTE BLANK might have been more collaborative because I had other writers and we had everybody improvising. We shot so much film on that movie. Everybody was so into what they were doing. What were some of the gems that came out of the improvising process? There were so many great moments that it is hard to pinpoint them, but it was wonderful for me because I wasn't expecting it. I had to hold in my laughter. I just turned John and Minnie loose for their PG-13 sex scene in the nurse's office, for example, and that was completely cool. The dancing at the reunion was wonderful. We had a great time. There were some insane moments that unfortunately didn't quite fit and we had to leave out. Did all the actors take to the improvising process easily? Most of them did, yeah. One actor said he felt pressured to improvise and I staggered away in disbelief because most actors look forward to improvising. On THE BIG BOUNCE, Owen Wilson would improvise all over the place but Morgan Freeman would always stick to the script. It was so interesting to see how professional he was. He would never have a clue what Owen was going to do. Owen is an Academy Award-winning writer, so he was as wonderful as you can imagine. There were several scenes between them that were just amazing. Morgan was never uncomfortable, but he had rehearsed with himself and he knew what he was going to do. It was beautiful to watch two pros working. How did the project find it's way to you? John sent me a copy of the script and I read it and loved it. We got together and I loved what he wanted to do with the character. It was great to work with him. John actually suggested Alec Baldwin for Grocer in the film. We talked about it but he was ultimately unavailable. As soon as we heard Dan Aykroyd loved the script and was available we went nuts! He was absolutely brilliant in the role and delightful to work with. He went with the script and created a wonderful screen character. To what extent was GROSSE POINTE BLANK a political satire or a parody of an action film? There were quite a few political jabs in the film. I think, like MIAMI BLUES, it's a bit of a satire but I don't think I was consciously commenting on other films. We did do a little homage to POINT BLANK, the film we stole our title from. I love the title we went with. I thought it was hysterical. A lot of people thought it was hokey. Did you draw at all on your own high school reunion? Not really. I only ever went to one reunion. I was expelled from my Jesuit High School in the third year for satirising the Reserve Officer Training Corps, which was a post-WW2 paranoia scheme to keep everybody crazy. I refused to be part of it, and got thrown out. I went to the 50th year reunion and they gave me my Diploma. I got a mock standing ovation which I consider one of the high points of my life! What was it like filming the celebrated fight scene at the prom? We had three cameras on that, and rarely did I have to show the DP Jamie Anderson where to go. We would do two or three bits in a certain space with a camera, and then move along. It was really astonishing the way that scene came together. I was working with Buddy Joe Hooker, who I've been working with since VIGILANTE FORCE. It has to be one of the best fight scenes ever put on film. There was a British film magazine that named it the Best Fight Scene Ever. It really was a good scene. John is fighting Benny the Jet in the scene, one of the great kickboxers of all time. John had been training with him, so they had worked on stuff already. Buddy Joe came in and gave them great stuff to do, and we had a ball doing that scene. What did you enjoy the most about working with John Cusack? He's really a wonderful actor, and I had always wanted to work with him. He's very very particular about what he does, and he's very funny. I like the fact that he's understated. He's very interesting. Was the editing process long, given the amount of footage you shot? No, nothing unusual actually. I would bring John in from time to time and he would take notes. He was also a producer on the film. We sat down together at the end and went through the cut, and he had ideas of stuff he wanted back in. Whatever worked for us, we cut in to the movie. Unfortunately there were a couple of things we weren't just able to get into the film, but generally John was very pleased with GROSSE POINTE BLANK. We had a preview of it and the movie was running 112 minutes or something. I could see that we were losing the audience. You want to keep them 'up, up, up' and then bring them back to where they were. I explained that to John and everybody and they were a little afraid we were cutting some good stuff out, but after we had edited it down and we had had a great screening in New York, everybody was happy. For once, I had done something that pleased executives! Joe Roth was a terrific studio head when we made that film. He knew what we we were trying to do, and let us go. With the success of Tarantino's films around this time, did you feel confident that your film would find an audience? I always feel my films will find an audience, but sometimes I have been wrong. I thought it would work with audiences because it was very funny and it was very hip and it was not dumb. The performances were good. I thought Minnie and John had a chemistry. I felt we had been able to get into that post-high school angst. The movie wasn't huge, but it had a good audience. Have you ever felt the influence of your work on other films? I know Quentin gives me great credit for MIAMI BLUES and breaking through with that kind of film. I know him and love him and he's an absolute genius, but I told him ''The only thing we have in common as filmmakers is that we love the same kinds of films, but I saw them first-run and you saw them on video!''

Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A. BBVA Bancomer, S.A. Casa de Bolsa BBVA Bancomer S.A. de C.V. Hipotecaria Nacional S.A. de C.V. Credit Opinion: Banco Nacional de México, S.A.: Update to credit analysis Credit Opinion: BBVA Bancomer, S.A.: Update to credit analysis Credit Opinion: BBVA Bancomer, S.A.: Update following outlook change to negative Credit Opinion: Banco Nacional de México, S.A.: Update following outlook change to negative Rating Action: Moody's rates Aaa.mx BBVA México's three proposed issuances of certificados bursátiles Rating Action: Moody's confirms A3 deposits and senior debt ratings of BBVA Bancomer and Banamex; negative outlook Mexico, June 08, 2016 -- Moody's de México has today concluded the rating reviews on BBVA Bancomer, S.A. (Bancomer) and Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A. (Banamex) initiated on 4 April 2016. Moody's confirmed the senior unsecured A3 debt and deposit ratings of both banks and assigned a negative outlook. Moody's also downgraded Bancomer's standalone baseline credit assessment (BCA) and adjusted BCA by one notch to baa2. Because they were already positioned more conservatively at the baa2 level, Banamex's BCA and adjusted BCA of baa2 were not subject to the review. Moody's also confirmed Bancomer's and Banamex's Mexican National Scale deposit and senior unsecured debt ratings of Aaa.mx; the short-term ratings were not subject to the review. Moody's also confirmed the long- and short-term counterparty risk assessments of A2(cr)/Prime-1(cr), of both banks, respectively. Bancomer's long-term global scale subordinated MTN debt program rating was lowered to (P)Baa3 from (P)Baa2, and its Mexican National Scale rating was downgraded to Aa3.mx from Aa1.mx. Moody's also downgraded the long-term issuer ratings of Casa de Bolsa BBVA Bancomer, S.A. de C.V. and of Hipotecaria Nacional, S.A. de C.V., to Baa2 from Baa1, to reflect the subsidiaries' alignment to Bancomer's ratings. The National Scale Ratings assigned to these two issuers were downgraded to Aa2.mx from Aaa.mx. The outlook on these entities' ratings is stable. At the same time, Moody's has assigned A3 and Aaa.mx long term global local currency and Mexican National Scale senior unsecured debt ratings, with negative outlook, to Bancomer's issuance of Certificados Bursatiles Bancarios (BACOMER 16) announced in Bancomer's June 8th 2016 press release. A detailed list of affected ratings is provided below. RATINGS RATIONALE CONFIRMATION OF DEPOSIT RATINGS WITH A NEGATIVE OUTLOOK The confirmation of Bancomer and Banamex's A3 deposit and senior debt ratings reflects Moody's continued assessment of a very high likelihood that the Mexican government would support these systemically important institutions should they face severe financial stress. Moody's continues to regard the government as having a high willingness to support the country's banks to assure banking system stability and investor confidence. According to Moody's Senior Credit Officer David Olivares, "Moody's assessment incorporates the government's track record of support, the system's reliance on domestic deposit funding, and the absence in Mexico of an operational bank resolution regime based on the principle of bailing-in bank creditors". Moody's assessment of government support results in two notches of uplift from the banks' baa2 adjusted BCAs, leading to A3 deposit ratings that are aligned to the government's own bond rating. As a result of the negative outlook on the government's bond rating, the outlook on Bancomer's and Banamex's deposit ratings is also negative. LOWERING OF BANCOMER'S STANDALONE BASELINE CREDIT ASSESSMENT Bancomer, along with other Mexican banks, faces increased medium-term tail risks because of the country's less favorable operating environment stemming from a combination of the oil price shock and the slower than expected economic growth. At the same time, the structural reforms adopted in 2013-14, which were expected to deliver a boost to economic activity, have not provided the anticipated benefit. While Moody's does not project an economic deceleration, together these factors have undermined expectations for improved economic performance and shifted the balance of risks and opportunities for the country's banking sector to the downside. "Although Bancomer's recent performance has remained strong, the bank's historically lower core capitalization relative to other large Mexican banks and high loan concentrations leave it exposed to a potential deterioration in asset quality", Olivares added. Bancomer's core capital ratio measured as tangible common equity to risk weighted assets (TCE/RWA) of around 10.7%, while still reasonably sound, leads to a low ba2 score for capital in Moody's methodology, and is nearly 370 basis points lower than that of its closest competitor Banamex. In addition, Moody's also highlights Bancomer's high loan concentrations, especially relative to core capital. The bank's 20 largest loan exposures are larger than its TCE, leaving the bank exposed to a potential crystallization of rising tail risks. The bank's direct loan portfolio exposure to Mexico's national oil company Pemex (issuer Baa3 negative, b3 BCA), whose credit quality has deteriorated significantly even considering the likelihood that it will benefit from sovereign support, is particularly large, at nearly 30% of Bancomer's TCE, according to Moody's estimates. However, these credit challenges are balanced by important credit strengths, including the bank's ample core earnings and superior access to retail deposit funding, which continue to underpin the baa2 BCA. Despite the less favorable operating environment, Moody's expects the bank's profitability to remain resilient, supported by ample net interest margins (NIM) of about 6%, and very strong operating efficiency, which stood at just 41% of net revenues as of March 2016. Lending concentrations aside, the bank also benefits from relatively strong asset quality, with a delinquency ratio of 2.4% as of 1Q2016, though its focus on higher-risk consumer lending leaves it more exposed to a potential deterioration of the economy. Moreover, as is the case with all Mexican banks, Bancomer's delinquency ratios are flattered by a very high level of write-downs relative to banks globally. Lastly, as the largest deposit taker in Mexico, Bancomer exhibits a very stable and low-cost funding structure. Given that Banamex's BCA was more conservatively positioned than Bancomer's, at baa2 vs. baa1, due to its recent experience with borrower fraud and the shortcomings in risk management and controls, the BCA was not affected by Mexico's less favorable economic prospects. Olivares noted that "Banamex's strong capitalization, reflected by a TCE/RWA ratio of around 14.4%, provides the bank strong loss absorption capacity, while its lower borrower concentrations, leave it less exposed to tail risks than Bancomer". In addition, as with Bancomer, Banamex benefits from superior access to low cost retail deposit funding. These strengths help to mitigate concerns regarding Bancomer's very high credit costs and their impact on its profitability. WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATINGS UP OR DOWN The banks' BCAs could face downward pressure if a slowdown in or further shock to the Mexican economy causes their capitalization, profitability, and/or asset quality deteriorate. In addition, Banamex's BCA could also face downward pressure if new shortcomings on risk management or controls, which have plagued the bank in the past, are revealed. Though the bank has undertaken an ambitious program to improve these internal controls, reducing the likelihood of a recurrence of past problems. However, the banks' deposit and senior debt ratings would not be affected by a change in their BCAs provided that the government continues to demonstrate a very high willingness to support them. That said, the senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings would be lowered if Mexico's government bond ratings, which currently carry a negative outlook, are downgraded. While there is no upwards ratings pressure at this point, the banks' outlooks will likely stabilize if and when the government outlook returns to stable.

Moody's National Scale Credit Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale credit ratings in that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in ".za" for South Africa.

Speaking at this week’s Data Centres Europe conference Alex Rabbetts, Managing Director of Migration Solutions, says: ‘As we plan the first data centres under the new Code of Conduct we’re looking a new ways of doing things – this is ‘data centre 2.0’, a leap forward in the way we use power and the efficiencies we deliver. The next generation will be the greenest data centres yet.’ The European Code of Conduct for Data Centres, which has been in place since the start of this year, has the support of ninety-six business participants and endorsers, of which Migration Solutions is one. The Code standardises the measurement of power consumption, utility and efficiency in the data centre and encourages best practice across the sector. Migration Solutions has participated in the development of the Code of Practice since its inception and welcomes its deployment as a clear indication that the industry is ready to address the issue carbon emissions and power consumption, which can be fifty times greater in data centres than comparable office space. Alex Rabbetts says: 'The greener data centre is the key issue for the industry today. It is vital that we have our own house in order so we are ready to play a significant role in the development of the growing number of environmental ‘smart society’ projects, incorporating smart grid, smart cities and smart transportation projects, all of which rely on data processing and data centres for their success.’ Migration Solutions is participating in the sixth annual Data Centres Europe conference this week in Nice, France (24&25th June 2010). Alex Rabbetts will be presenting ‘A Guide to the European Code of Conduct’, a session which looks at securing Green credentials for data centres.

__label__wiki	0.774109	0.774109	Physician Resources Home Medical News Cochlear implants may reorganize hearing centers Cochlear implants may reorganize hearing centers WASHINGTON, DC July 23, 2007 - Cochlear implants -- electronic devices inserted surgically in the ear to allow deaf people to hear -- may restore normal auditory pathways in the brain even after many years of deafness. The results imply that the brain can reorganize sound processing centers or press into service latent ones based on sound stimulation. Jeanne Guiraud, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Lyon, Edouard Herriot University Hospital, and Advanced Bionics, a firm that makes cochlear implants, worked with deaf subjects from 16 to 74 years old and found that younger subjects and those with a shorter history of deafness showed changes that mirrored patterns in people with normal hearing more closely. The results were published in the July 18 Journal of Neuroscience. "The results imply a restoration to some extent of the normal organization through the use of the cochlear implant," says Manuel Don, PhD, of the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles. "They also claim to find ties between the degree of restored organization and a hearing task. Such ties are of enormous importance in evaluating cochlear implant benefits." Don was not involved in this study. Guiraud and her team studied 13 profoundly deaf adults who had received cochlear implants, on average, eight months before the study. Electrical stimulation to the ear allowed the team to locate where in the brain's auditory cortex various frequencies were processed and come up with a map for these tones. Their results demonstrated that in people who had cochlear implants for at least three months, normal frequency organization was somewhat restored. "Our results strongly suggest that the recipient's auditory cortex presents a tonotopic organization that resembles the frequency maps of normal-hearing subjects," says Guiraud. In the future, the team hopes to determine in detail the ways in which these maps may change as a result of cochlear implants by studying subjects immediately following implant surgery. The work was a supported by a grant from Advanced Bionics Europe. The Journal of Neuroscience is published by the Society for Neuroscience, an organization of more than 36,500 basic scientists and clinicians who study the brain and nervous system.

__label__cc	0.537803	0.462197	RESIDENTS AT GROSVENOR MANOR HIT THE RIGHT NOTE WITH CHESTER BRASS Residents at New Care’s Grosvenor Manor care centre on Heath Lane in Chester are hitting all the right notes following an uplifting visit from the City of Chester Brass Band. The 28-piece band, Chester’s longest established brass group, visited the state-of-the-art care home to play a series of uplifting tunes for residents and their loved ones. The afternoon comprised a musical extravaganza that included both old and new tunes including well known songs and more classical instrumental pieces. The event was a huge success that had heads bobbing and toes tapping, and will leave a lasting legacy of many wonderful memories with the residents. Proud to represent the city for more than 150 years, Chester Brass Band has a fine cultural heritage. Formerly the Chester Blue Coats, the band wears a distinctive blue blazer that carries the city’s name and a badge of the famous Eastgate Clock, recognisable all around the world as a symbol of Chester. The Band was delighted to be invited to Grosvenor Manor. Nick Turnball from Chester Brass said: “It was wonderful to come to Grosvenor Manor and share some of our favourite pieces with the residents. We’re delighted that they enjoyed it.” Manager at Grosvenor Manor, Hayley Bebbington, added: “Our residents love music so we try to delight them with a range of different types and genres and the brass band is definitely one of the favourites. We were honoured to have the very talented players from Chester Brass Band with us and will be inviting them in again soon.” Resident, Joan Hall, had a go at playing the cornet, she added: “The unmistakable sound of the brass band is magnificent, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon’s performances.” Located on Heath Lane in the historic city of Chester, Grosvenor Manor is a ‘new generation’ care facility that features 81 fully furnished bedrooms, all with private en suite wet rooms, a range of stylish and elegant communal lounges and fine dining rooms, a nail bar, hair salon and beautifully landscaped gardens and outdoor areas. Designed, built and operated by New Care, one of the UK’s fastest growing development-led care home operators, it has been setting new standards for care and making a significant impact in the local area since it opened almost 12 months ago.

__label__cc	0.58436	0.41564	Good Vibrations: The Power Plate Institute gets your brain humming August 14, 2008 at 4:55 pm by Jan Hieggelke by Jan Hieggelke August 14, 2008 January 10, 2012 Filed under: In a sleek modern storefront on West Armitage, Coldplay and The Wallflowers play softly as fitness enthusiasts of all ages and sizes vibrate slowly on machines designed for cosmonauts. The Power Plate Institute is the only facility of its kind in America. Six days a week, at half-hour intervals, the Institute offers training sessions on its four Power Plates, each of which resembles a kind of generalized exercise machine without the moving parts. Posters on the wall proclaim dramatically, “It’s not a miracle. What it does for you is.” As I enter, a middle-aged woman named Beth Slavitt is just finishing up the intermediate/advanced program, “Power Sculpt.” “I love it,” she says. “I’m getting a better workout than when I worked out for longer.” Slavitt has been exercising on Power Plates for more than a year, and has recommended it to friends. At noon, the beginners’ session (“Power Zone”) starts, intended for customers like myself who do not habitually vibrate while exercising. Veteran personal trainer Felicia Holman holds our hands through a series of stretches using the machines. While we hold each stretch, the Power Plate vibrates thirty times per second for thirty seconds, for accelerations of over two g. In between, we rest and stay hydrated. Before we move past the stretches, Felicia demonstrates the power of the machine by cranking it up to its maximum of fifty Hz and increasing the amplitude of the vibrations. Despite the enthusiastic claims of the press clippings scattered around the Institute, merely standing on the Plate, even at these extreme settings, is not enough to make you break a sweat. It is, however, enough to discombobulate you and make you feel like your brain is humming. Next we move on to actual exercises on the Plate, such as lunges and push-ups. The vibrations don’t seem to make them much harder, but I am assured that they are intensifying my muscle contractions. During the stretching period that begins the workout and the massage period that ends it, the vibrations are helping to relax my muscles, I am told. Power Plate International, whose U.S. branch is based in suburban Northbrook, was founded in the Netherlands in 1999 to market machines using the “whole body vibration” technique developed by Soviet scientist Vladimir Nazarov, according to company manager Ed Marut. The technique was originally meant to prevent cosmonauts’ muscles from atrophying while in space. Thus far Power Plates have yet to take off here as they have overseas, where Paris has hundreds of Power Plate centers and Madonna paid £7,000 for a machine of her own. “We’re hoping we can get that same success to America,” Marut says, and it looks promising. Power Plates are used by organizations such as Northwestern University, the Chicago Bears and the Accelerated Rehabilitation Center in Streeterville, where physical therapist Lisa Jurski says she uses the machines with about ninety percent of her clients.

__label__wiki	0.622054	0.622054	EFCC, DSS To Investigate MTN, GLO, Airtel, 9Mobile, Others George Ogbolu The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on ICT, Alhaji Lado Abdullahi, has said the EFCC and DSS will join the committee to probe telecom providers over an alleged non-remittance to NITDA. NAN reports that the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) Act states that telecoms providers must remit a percentage of their annual turnover to NITDA to install infrastructure. A source at the NITDA alleged that telecom providers owed the agency over N200billion which he said had caused Nigeria to lose a verifiable source of revenue generation. Speaking to newsmen in a telephone interview, Abdullahi said the Chief Executive Officers of the nation’s telecom providers must account for their alleged failure to remit the fund to NITDA. According to the member of Reps, telecom providers had failed to remit the fund since the Act became effective in 2007. He said: “Our committee has been given a month deadline following a motion sponsored by a member from Ukwa East/West federal constituency in December 2019. “The committee has not started working because the motion was moved during our last session before we went on recess and we have not resumed. “So when we resume, we will be able to investigate the matter. Hopefully, by 20th of this month, the committee will take off.” He said telecom providers would be asked to send vital information about their annual turnover starting from 2007, when NITDA Act was enacted, to date. Abdullahi stated that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will also be asked to provide the turnover of each service provider from 2007 to date. “The Attorney-General, Accountant-General, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will furnish us with useful information to do our job,” he said. “The process ought to have been that once the FIRS collects the money, it makes it known to the Accountant-General, who will release same to the Ministry of Finance and then to NITDA. “Majority of them were defaulters which necessitated the investigation of the matter and to prosecute whoever was involved. “We are involving the Attorney-General, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Department of State Services (DSS) and EFCC. “Any CEO coming to make a presentation has to be on oath. They will be summoned before the national assembly to resolve the issue. The Attorney-General too will do the investigation and prosecute them accordingly,” he added.

__label__cc	0.509738	0.490262	Rampell: Dems need to amplify their popular, progressive agenda By Catherine Rampell The Washington Post Most of the Democrats’ core policy principles are quite popular among voters who identify as Democrats and voters who identify as Republicans. Americans who watched the presidential primary debate last week might have learned something surprising: Despite GOP accusations of Bolshevism, nearly all the Democratic contenders share a pretty mainstream policy platform. In fact, most of their core policy principles are quite popular among voters who identify as Democrats and voters who identify as Republicans. Consider a few issues that came up during the debate. For instance, we heard about how the candidates broadly agree on the need for paid family leave. They differ on precisely how many months of leave should be offered and how such a program should be financed. But, according to a Washington Post questionnaire recently sent to each candidate, every single politician still in the race supports some amount of guaranteed paid leave. This view is squarely within the political mainstream, as you might expect from a policy that already exists in some form in nearly every other country on Earth. In fact, 90% of Democrats and 75% of Republicans support paid maternity leave, according to a Pew Research Center survey. For paid paternity leave, the shares are 79% and 57%, respectively. Democratic candidates also showed significant overlap on other popular policies as well, such as the need for a more progressive tax code. Yes, they differ on exactly how to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, but basically all propose doing so. In espousing those ideas, they contrast sharply with their Republican politician counterparts, who advocate flatter tax rates and more cuts specifically for the rich. But in espousing these ideas, the Democratic candidates find common ground with Americans writ large, most of whom believe that both high-income people and corporations have not been paying their fair share. Candidates, likewise, expressed broad agreement about the need to improve the affordability of childcare, another policy stance shared by the American public. Ditto for a litany of other kitchen-table issues, such as having the government do more to provide health insurance for more Americans. Again, Democrats might differ on the specifics of implementation -- such as public option vs. single-payer -- but their principles and priorities are broadly similar. Moreover, on this and other health issues, such as preserving protections for those with preexisting conditions, Democratic politicians align much more closely with Americans overall than Republican politicians do. The same could also be said for a bunch of other issues that didn't come up during Wednesday's debate, such as universal background checks for gun purchases. Oddly, despite better reflecting the views of the American populace on these and a host of other policy issues than their GOP counterparts do, Democrats are increasingly viewed as a bunch of whackadoodle radicals. Republicans, somehow, are not. In a recent Quinnipiac poll, nearly half of respondents (47%) said they believed the Democratic Party had moved too far left; by contrast, just 37% said they believed the Republican Party had moved too far right. Well, of course, some Democrats do advocate some polarizing ideas. And those polarizing ideas, or sometimes caricatures thereof, seem to dominate media coverage: elimination of all private health insurance, bans on burgers or airplanes, confiscating your guns, etc. These views do not represent the Democratic Party's mainstream, nor the majority of Democrats running for president. But their prevalence within the primary campaign gets overstated nonetheless, for a few reasons. First, both the GOP and the far-left minority within the Democratic Party have a vested interest in amplifying the fringiest party ideas and making Democrats overall seem much more liberal than they actually are. Second, the primary field is crowded. Candidates have learned that bolder or at least more provocative ideas are more likely to get coverage in a competitive news cycle. Plus the goal in a primary after all is to show how you contrast with your fellow competitors, not how you all endorse the same popular ideas. So candidates play up their differences, which almost by definition are more likely to involve their less mainstream ideas. And finally, the media gravitates toward conflict -- even if areas of conflict are less common than areas of overlap either between the candidates, or between the candidates and their constituencies. Unfortunately, these dynamics lead to a distorted image of what the Democratic contenders stand for, and also what voters care about. They also likely will not help position the eventual Democratic nominee to capture the general election. There's a strong, unapologetically progressive, massively popular agenda that Democrats should be evangelizing right now. If they want to win next November, they need to be more disciplined at amplifying it.

__label__wiki	0.884975	0.884975	Nicolle Flint Boothby Work in Parliament Listening to You Delivering for You $129 million boost to Adelaide's cultural economy 17 Mar 2019 press release The Morrison Government will deliver $129 million for a series of projects to boost the cultural economy of Adelaide’s world-renowned arts, food and cultural scene under the Adelaide City Deal. Through the City Deal, the Morrison Government will invest: $85 million for a new Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery at Lot Fourteen $30 million towards building the International Centre for Food, Hospitality and Tourism in Lot Fourteen $9 million towards construction of The Heysens at The Cedars, Hahndorf $3 million to build a new visitor centre at Carrick Hill $2 million towards development of smart technology walking trails at garden and national park tourism sites. “Adelaide is renowned as one of the cultural capitals of Australia, with incredible festivals, galleries, artists, food and wine,” Minister Alan Tudge said. “These projects will boost the cultural economy of South Australia and attract even more visitors for years to come. More visitors means more jobs.” “This will be a key theme of the city deal which will soon be o􀃕cially signed by the Prime Minister and Premier.” Adelaide attracted more than 2.8 million domestic visitors in 2018, contributing $2.3 billion to the local visitor economy. In the same year 412,000 international visitors came to Adelaide, spending $1.1 billion. Premier Steven Marshall said he was delighted that the Federal Coalition was continuing to back the State Government’s bold vision for Lot Fourteen. “This latest funding injection from the Morrison Government ensures that our vision for this site is closer to being fully realised,” the Premier said. “Our vision, with the support of the Federal Government, will transform Lot 14 into a job generating hub for generations to come, and is yet another example of what can happen when government’s work together to deliver.” The projects will further enhance arts and cultural tourism, in particular with the addition of a new Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery at Lot Fourteen. The Gallery will recognise and celebrate the world’s oldest continuing culture, and will be designed as an international attraction to drive year-round cultural tourism to Adelaide. The role of Indigenous groups in the scoping, design, and operation of the Gallery will be deeply embedded, recognising the importance of ongoing Indigenous stewardship in the success of the Gallery. In recognition of the continuing high rate of growth in Adelaide’s world-class food, wine and hospitality sectors, the Australian Government will invest $30 million towards building the International Centre for Food, Hospitality and Tourism in Lot Fourteen. In addition to generating a strong pool of talented local and international graduates with the right skills to help these sectors continue to thrive, establishing the Centre’s campus in Lot Fourteen will also enable the education and training sector to connect with the innovation and advanced technology businesses and agencies also being hosted in that area. The $9 million towards the construction of The Heysens at Hahndorf will create a dedicated space to display the Hans and Nora Heysen collections. Hans Heysen is regarded as one of Australia’s greatest artists and his daughter Nora Heysen was the first woman to win an Archibald Prize in 1938. The new gallery will ensure that Hans and Nora Heysen’s immense talent can be showcased and celebrated by the local community as well as visitors to Adelaide. The $3 million investment will enable a new visitor centre to be built at Carrick Hill, one of Australia’s most intact 20th century house, museum and garden venues. The smart technology-enabled trails—which could serve as a model for similar installations around the state—will provide tourists with new and innovative ways to explore Adelaide’s cultural landscape. These trails will be further enhanced by upgrades to Old Government House, Wittunga House and Botanic Garden, Glenthorne Farm and Kingston House.

Today, people who were exposed to asbestos -- especially in the workplace -- are still at risk for developing health problems like mesothelioma, and employers and manufacturers might be liable. Dangers of Asbestos Asbestos Exposure Risks: Where Is Asbestos Found? Despite known health risks, asbestos can still be found in some homes, schools, and consumer products. Here's what you need to know. What If I Find Asbestos in My Home? If you find asbestos in your home, should you take action? Should you hire an asbestos professional?

Goldberg’s research interests are in the areas of nano-optics and spectroscopy of two-dimensional crystals, exploring strain and friction in single-atom-thick layers. He is engaged in projects in near-field and solid immersion imaging, using super-resolution techniques to break the diffraction limit, and imaging through strongly scattering media like tissue and rock; and active research on novel approaches to subcellular imaging, biosensors, and single-virus imaging. Nationally, Goldberg has been active in building a network of universities preparing future faculty to be excellent researchers and excellent teachers, has co-authored two massive open online courses (MOOCs) for PhDs and postdocs on STEM learning and teaching, and is involved in bringing together cross-sector organizations to scale effective strategies for increasing access to higher education for underrepresented groups. 627 Dartmouth Place Email: bennett.goldberg@northwestern.edu Initiatives▼ Faculty▼ Searle Fellows▼ Current & Past Fellows Searle Fellows Critical Accounts New Faculty Workshop Learning, Teaching, and Assessment Forum Faculty Open Classroom Initiative (FOCI) Inclusive Teaching Forum Learning with Technology at Searle Broader Impacts Forum Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Roundtable Series Grads and Postdocs ▼ New TA Conference▼ NTAC Workshop Leaders Teaching Certificate Program▼ WCAS/TGS Teaching Fellowship Eligibility & Application Graduate Teaching Mentors▼ Graduate Teaching Fellows▼ Current Graduate Teaching Fellows CIRTL at Northwestern▼ Searle Teaching-As-Research Program CIRTL Certification Mentored Discussions of Teaching STEM Teaching MOOCs and MCLC CIRTL Workshop Series Teaching Certificate Program CIRTL Network Events Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion▼ Social Identities International Projects▼ Projects in the Middle East Projects in Africa Services▼ Feedback on Teaching▼ Small Group Analysis Teaching Observation End-of-Term Focus Group Assessment of Student Learning▼ Assessment Process▼ Developing Learning Objectives Creating and Using Assessments People▼ Searle Center for Advancing Learning & Teaching 627 Dartmouth Place \| Evanston, IL 60208-4181 Phone: 847-467-2338 \| Fax: 847-467-2273 \| teach@northwestern.edu	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2771

__label__cc	0.706499	0.293501	State Police and NYS Department of Transportation announce crackdown on work zone violations in Rochester and Hornell Major Eric L. Laughton Troop E Commander The New York State Police and the Department of Transportation today announced the start of “Operation Hardhat,” a joint effort to crack down on work zone violations and highlight the importance of safe driving through active construction and maintenance work zones on state highways. Members of the New York State Police Troop E will patrol several active work zones throughout the State Department of Transportation’s Rochester and Hornell regions this week to ticket motorists who disobey flagging personnel, speed through the work zone or violate the state’s Move Over Law, which applies to emergency and work vehicles. The State Department of Transportation recently launched a new Public Service Announcement highlighting the importance of moving over in construction work zones across the state. State Police Superintendent Keith M. Corlett said, “Law enforcement and other emergency responders, including highway workers, work in a dangerous environment and risk their lives to keep the traveling public safe. It is important that motorists are aware of their responsibility to follow the rules of the road and know that violations of the Move Over Law and work zone intrusions will not be tolerated.” State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “Establishing and maintaining a highway work zone helps keep both our workers and the traveling public safe. As our Department’s field staff and the State Police face increasing dangers from distracted drivers as they work on our state highways, this is an excellent opportunity to collaborate and raise awareness. I thank the New York State Troopers who will be joining us this week and working towards our shared mission of highway safety.” Both emergency responders and highway workers depend on motorists being aware of their surroundings, using patience and caution. It is critical that motorists pay attention behind the wheel and eliminate distractions, especially on interstates and other multi-lane highways. New York’s Move Over Law requires motorists to carefully slow down and safely move over when approaching law enforcement vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks, and construction and maintenance vehicles stopped along the roads. Construction and maintenance crews across the state work alongside fast-moving traffic each day, knowing their lives depend on drivers being alert, patient and cautious. It is critically important that motorists eliminate distractions, pay attention to driving and, on multi-lane highways, move over a travel lane to give highway workers room. Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone, and in accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual's driver license. Work zone safety tips can be found at https://www.ny.gov/programs/work-zone-safety-awareness. For real-time travel information, motorists should call 511 or visit www.511NY.org or the mobile site at m.511ny.org, New York State’s official traffic and travel information source.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2778

But which one should you add? There are four different Murray rookies in total and each of them has its own unique story. Many collectors will opt for his Topps rookie but his O-Pee-Chee, Hostess and Kellogg's rookies are quite good options as well. To help you learn about the ins and outs of each of these cards, here is a comprehensive guide that covers the key things you should know before you buy. Let's jump right in! Ross Uitts - Owner Are you selling sports cards that were produced from 1868 - 1975? If so, then please fill out the form below and I'll be in touch right away. Or, feel free to call/text me at 305-684-6680! The Four Types of Eddie Murray Rookie Cards Most players of the vintage era will have one, maybe two rookie cards to his name. But Murray came along towards the end of the vintage spectrum when many different types of brands other than Topps were starting to join the fun. For example, even Hostess was making cards so let's start here first: 1978 Hostess #31 Distinction: From 1975 - 1979, Hostess issued baseball cards as a way to help promote their food products to kids. In 1978, the company released a 150-card set in the form of three-card panels measuring 7 3/4" x 3 1/4" that were printed directly on the sides of the boxes that housed their products. Each individual card measures 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" when cut. Sharing a panel with Gary Lavelle and Rennie Stennett, Murray is the key to the 1978 Hostess set. Number: This is card #31 in the set run of 150 cards total. Front Design: The most noticeable thing on the front is the dotted line that borders the card. As these were meant to be cut from boxes by hand, those dotted lines are actually guidelines to aid in the cutting process. The majority of the front is taken up by a nice image of Murry posing with a bat hoisted over his shoulder. Back Design: The reverse side is plain and straightforward as Murray's personal information and both Minor and Major League statistics are on display. Condition Issues: As these cards were printed directly on the sides of food packaging, you can imagine the dings and scuffing that are commonly seen on these. Furthermore, high grade examples are someone difficult to come across due to the sheer fact of collectors cutting into and across the dotted lines. 1978 Kellogg's #25 Distinction: Even before Hostess jumped into the baseball card market, Kellogg's had been issuing cards for years. Collectors would typically find these sealed inside boxes of Kellogg's cereal. They could also send in for a complete set by mail in exchange for some box tops and a small amount of money. Number: This is card #25 in the set run of 57 cards total. Front Design: The front of the card features a nice image of Murray posing with a facsimile signature across his body. Murray's name and position sit in a red and yellow banner along the bottom while the Kellogg's brand and "3-D Super Stars" issue run across the top. The card gets its "3-D" distinction because of the reflective coating that runs along the card fronts. Back Design: The back of the card is printed horizontally and is jam-packed with information. From his personal information to Kellogg's and MLB logos to the stat box to the nice write-up on his career to that point, there's just so much to enjoy on the back of the card. Condition Issues: The cards that were found in boxes of cereal are typically those that are found dinged and scratched. However, the cards that are found in sets that were sent in for by mail are typically seen in better condition since they were shipped separately from the cereal. 1978 O-Pee-Chee #154 Distinction: The O-Pee-Chee rookie is the Topps counterpart that was intended for distribution in the Canadian market. Even though its appearance (at least on the front of the card) is identical to the Topps card, these are relatively less desirable. Don't get me wrong, these can be quite valuable and collectors definitely love the O-Pee-Chee version, just not quite as much as the Topps version, though. Number: This is card #154 in the set run of 242 cards total. Like many O-Pee-Chee sets, the checklist was not as large as the Topps set but luckily the Eddie Murray rookie card made the list. You'll also notice his Topps card is #36 which shows that not only did the O-Pee-Chee checklist contain a smaller amount of cards, they were numbered differently as well. Front Design: The front of the card features a nice shot of Murray looking into the camera as he's taking a practice swing. A thin red border outlines the image while his position is given in a small baseball in the upper-right corner along with his name and Orioles affiliation along the bottom. The special Topps "All-Star Rookie" trophy rests in the lower-right corner, giving the card a nice design touch and additional eye appeal. Back Design: The reverse of the card is the easiest way to tell if you're looking at the O-Pee-Chee version as many attributes are translated into French for the Canadian market. That, and you'll notice that the O-Pee-Chee mark is called out in the lower-right box. Condition Issues: The quality of O-Pee-Chee cards has always been notorious for being at a lower tier than Topps cards. Printing standards were not as tight and the stock on which the cards were printed is of a lesser quality as well. Therefore, these can be tougher to find in high graded compared to their Topps counterparts. 1978 Topps #36 Distinction: Of the Eddie Murray rookie cards on this list, this is his most desirable. Some collectors will go after his O-Pee-Chee card as well as the Hostess and Kellogg's oddballs but most mainstream collectors stick to his Topps card. Front Design: Again, the front of the Topps card is really no different than the O-Pee-Chee version. You could argue that the surfaces will be of different quality because of the differences in stock that were used but the design is identical. Back Design: The reverse of the card is also printed horizontally but lacks any French translation and houses the Topps mark in the lower-right. The card has a lot of personal and statistical information on Murray but it feels less "busy" than the O-Pee-Chee card without the need to translate certain aspects of the information into French. Condition Issues: Centering is the most common condition obstacle preventing this card from achieving higher grades. Eddie Murray Rookie Card Value The first thing that's usually on collectors' minds is how much Eddie Murray rookie cards are worth. The value of an Eddie Murray rookie card will vary between $1 and $550 depending on which version you are considering and what its condition is. Below are some estimated prices of each of his rookies in a range of conditions from very good (PSA 3) all the way to mint (PSA 9) as determined by third party grading company Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA). Keep in mind that when you are talking PSA 9 condition or above, the card is basically flawless with fantastic centering and no damage to the corners, edges or surfaces. 1978 Kellogg's 1978 OPC Eddie Murray's Legacy When you look at Murray's stats, it's easy to see why he was nicknamed "Steady Eddie": year in and year out, the guy was pretty much a lock for 25-30 home runs and around 100 RBI. For his career, he put up massive numbers as he wound up with 504 home runs, 1,917 RBI and 3,255 when all was said and done. Not only could he hit, he was good with the glove, too, as he collected 3 Gold Gloves. But for whatever reason, it just seems like Murray doesn't get the recognition he deserves for how good he really was. He was a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2003 but received just 85.3% of the vote which seems low to me. Some of his most notable accomplishments include: AL Rookie of the Year (1977) 3x Gold Glove 3x Silver Slugger 1983 World Series Champion Murray was clearly one of the game's all-time greats his rookie cards will still be sought after for many years to come.

This week the featured artists are Yuri and Seohyun from Girls' Generation. They have a duet for a song called “Secret”, so I'm super excited for this especially since Yuri gets a song even if it's a duet. There was nothing too exciting about this music video. The most exciting part of the video was when they were flipping their hair in slow motion or when the got into/onto their vehicles. Yuri was riding a bike, which totally suits her. And Seohyun was driving a fancy car. The scenes with their vehicles had some cool lighting effect that made it look like they were in a tunnel which added to the sound of the song. The song was interesting. It was a mix of Euro Dance Music, like music you would hear on runways and some EDM. But it definitely sounded more influenced by the former. It had some nice build ups and the drop offs that gave great dynamics but for most of the song, it kept a nice steady beat. I hope you enjoyed my review of Yuri and Seohyun's SM Station song “Secret”. I'll try to promise that CL will be the next but I can't be sure.

__label__wiki	0.819808	0.819808	‘Echo in the Canyon’ review: A ’60s musical flowering gets plucked by Jakob Dylan’s vanity project By Michael Phillips Jakob Dylan (second from left) serves as host of "Echo in the Canyon," a documentary about the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene in LA. Also pictured: Regina Spektor, Beck and Cat Power. (Greenwich Entertainment) How did an apparently sincere tribute turn into such a weirdly clueless vanity project? The music scene evoked in the documentary “Echo in the Canyon” remains a chimerical wonder, equal parts bliss and chaos. In the 1960s, a daisy chain of like-minded songwriters and performers moved to the winding-road Eden up and over from Hollywood Boulevard, in the area of Los Angeles known as Laurel Canyon. This was the Shakespearean magical-forest part of LA, green and lush, where you couldn’t really hear the traffic or taste the smog. It was (and is, still, sort of) a peaceful exception to most of the rest of the city, though today, driving north on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, there’s usually a long, slow line of cars driven by respectable-looking residents, or by swivel-head tourists wondering where all the hippies went. As Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash (Neil Young came later) puts it in the movie: With “so much great music floating around,” one group’s influences became another’s inspirations. According to “Echo in the Canyon” everything started with The Beatles. George Harrison’s 12-string Rickenbacker guitar caught the ear of countless fellow musicians, among them Roger McGuinn, who tried “taking an old folk song and souping it up with a Beatle beat.” It didn’t catch on for him in New York or, a little later, in LA. And then it did, with The Byrds. People in Laurel Canyon would drop by all the time, remembers Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas in the documentary, “and pretty soon you were writing a hit.” [Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] Regal Cinemas switching from Coke to Pepsi » An 82-minute nonfiction film would be silly to strive for that oxymoronic strategy, the “complete overview.” Here we get a full flowering of hits and separate careers, in bits and pieces. The hook for “Echo in the Canyon” is a 2015 tribute concert featuring Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers, who conducts the on-camera interviews here with more self-conscious cool than easy insight. Onetime Capitol Records head Andrew Slater, who mounted the concert with Dylan, Fiona Apple and other participants, ended up producing and directing the attendant documentary, tossing an inordinate amount of it in the direction of executive producer Dylan, his old friend and fellow Laurel Canyon aficionado. Dylan’s father, Bob, does not appear here. Then again, neither do all sorts of legends vital to the scene’s fame and reputation, including Joni Mitchell or Carole King. The Doors didn’t exist, really, according to “Echo in the Canyon.” Slater constantly swings away from the source material and ‘60s hitmakers to return to the four-year-old concert footage or stilted, stagy discussions among Dylan, Regina Spektor, Beck and Cat Power regarding the music’s durability. Though footage culled from Jacques Demy’s 1969 LA fantasia “Model Shop” is intriguing, here we get Dylan as diffident travelogue host, retracing steps from the movie’s location work. The film steers clear of any troubling details or intimations of how things changed after August 1969. As Michelle Phillips put it so vividly in a 2015 Vanity Fair oral history of Laurel Canyon: “The Manson murders ruined the LA music scene. That was the nail in the coffin of the freewheeling, let’s get high, everybody’s welcome, come on in, sit right down. Everyone was terrified. I carried a gun in my purse. And I never invited anybody over to my house again.” [Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Frozen’ helped define decade » Michael Phillips is a Tribune critic. mjphillips@chicagotribune.com Twitter @phillipstribune ‘Dolittle’ review: Robert Downey Jr. talks to the animals, without ever seeming to give a deuce about them ‘Bad Boys for Life’ review: Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, together again and schooling the youngsters Regal Cinemas switching from Coke to Pepsi “Echo in the Canyon” — 2 stars [Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] ‘Parasite,’ ‘Crown’ lead best of 2019 in film, TV » MPAA rating: PG-13 (for drug references and some suggestive content) If you go: June 28-July 4 at Enzian Theater, 1300 Orlando Ave. in Maitland; 407-629-0054; enzian.org Most Read • Movie News	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2791
__label__wiki	0.54743	0.54743	Bristol EV imagined by British design student Eccentric luxury car maker Bristol Cars was snapped up by EV specialists Frazer Nash back in April 2011 when the former entered administration. Now British automotive design student Amarpreet Gill has imagined what the first new Bristol since the V10-engined Fighter might look like — and he’s chosen to relaunch the brand with an EV. Let’s state up front that this is NOT an officially sanctioned design concept from Bristol, but an independent study from Gill, who is studying for a Masters in Transportation Design at the Umea Institute of Design in Sweden. Building on the ‘Gentleman’s Express’ theme that Bristol has followed since 1945, Gill envisions the new car would use in full the expertise of Frazer Nash and its parent Kamkorp Autocraft in the area of Electric Vehicles — Kamkorp previously owned the recently defunct Think Global EV company and also showed the Frazer Nash Namir range extender hybrid at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2009. Picking up styling themes from the Bristol 411, 603 and subsequent derivatives (which survived as the Blenheim right up until this year), the look of the un-named concept will no doubt split opinions — but then Bristols frequently have. No less controversial is the drivetrain, which the student says would be “a combination of piezoelectric and photovoltaic wizardry to create a platform that harvests energy from the surrounding environment, rewarding the consumer with the gift of free energy, that can then be used, shared or sold.” Frazer Nash’s involvement with Bristol resurrects a relationship that started over 65 years ago when the company was involved in Bristol Car’s foundation. The new owners of the marque have previously revealed their plans “to combine Bristol Cars’ tradition and iconic marque with Frazer-Nash’s pioneering technology to showcase our cutting-edge electric and range-extended powertrains.” Further announcements as to what precise form these plans will take should come soon — as, we assume, will news on whether Amarpreet Gill will be any part of them.

Bernhard. I’ve got more details in a new post at Cato at Liberty. Earlier on ICWA here. Filed under: adoption, Cato Institute, Indian tribes ICWA, child placement, and ICPC I’ve got a new piece at Ricochet on the problems with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which a federal judge struck down as unconstitutional in October in a ruling (Brackeen v. Zinke) likely to be appealed. Excerpt: One effect is to give tribal governments dangerous power over persons who never willingly submitted to their authority, including persons who have never set foot in Indian country. A couple briefly connect at a bar in Boston or Brooklyn or Baltimore one night and a child is born as a result. The father may not have mentioned at the time, indeed may only imperfectly remember, that as a child he was inducted into an affiliation with some faraway tribe toward whose leadership he has long felt indifferent or estranged. But ICWA covers as an “Indian child” any biological child of a tribal member so long as that child is “eligible for membership” in a tribe. Sorry, Dad – and sorry, total-bystander Brooklyn Mom — but under ICWA that distant tribe now has a lot of power over your future. You are not necessarily free to make an adoption plan with some trusted member of your local community. Instead, you must submit to a distant tribal authority and prepare for the child’s possible “placement … in … homes [that] reflect the unique values of Indian culture.” What about your own cultural background as a non-Native parent, along with that of your relatives who may have been helping care for the child during his first years? Your youngster may have spent his life thus far immersed in that other culture — perhaps Korean-American, or Dominican, or African-American, or Eastern European. But the law cares not. In fact, it encourages as “ICWA-compliant” placement of your child with any Indian tribe around the country, however remote from that of either biological parent’s, in preference to any non-Native placement, however well matched to the circumstances of the child’s life thus far. More discussion of the Brackeen case and ICWA: Wade Goodwyn, NPR. My piece stirred discussion at Ricochet including this from commenter Skyler: The law I really despise is the ICPC, the Interstate Compact for the Protection of Children. It was originally intended to stop states from dumping foster children in other states to take advantage of their looser welfare policies. First, it would seem to me that this should be the price paid for having loose welfare policies, but beyond that the real effect of the law is horrendous. What the act does is make it hard to move children to caregivers out of state without that state’s permission or agreement. That agreement can take many months. A court action to return children to parents or name the state as their conservator has to be completed within a deadline, usually one year. So, I have several cases where the parents’ families are from out of state. They have a large family network in that other state. But we can’t move the children to that family and have to put them in foster care. By the time the ICPC is completed, the foster family has a vested interest in the children and now they are fighting, and often succeed, in keeping the children away from the blood family. I find this result to be repulsive, and that result is not at all unusual. I have a case that just ended where the mom and the dad’s family in New Hampshire are both very fine with middle class homes and lots of family support, yet because the children had been kept in foster care the courts don’t want to “disrupt” their lives again. It’s just about the most asinine government policy ever. This gets me curious about ICPC. Other comments about its history and workings, positive or otherwise, are welcome.

HDMI-CEC is an industry standard supported by many brands, under various proprietary names. EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol to share functionality between connected devices and the TV. With Easylink, only one remote control is needed to operate the main functionalities on your TV and connected devices. EasyLink uses the standard HDMI cable to transfer system commands. It works between all electronic devices equipped with HDMI CEC. Follow the steps below to set EasyLink: EasyLink requires devices to be connected to the TV by HDMI. These devices should have the HDMI-CEC functionality. Switch on EasyLink on the TV, press the button on the remote control and select Setup> Installation > Preferences > EasyLink, select On. Also switch on HDMI-CEC on the connected device. The HDMI-CEC functionality on devices from other brands might not work with your TV due to different interpretations of the HDMI-CEC industry standard. What is HDMI? The HDMI is the abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI is a one-way connection that connects digital audio/video sources such as a set-top box, an HD DVD disc player, a Blu-ray Disc player, a PC, video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

__label__cc	0.598525	0.401475	Meet Lucy Milne Mum of three, Dundee Lucy Milne (27) lives in Dundee with her partner Barry (29) and their three boys: Lucas (3), Millan (2) and Leo (12 weeks old). Since Barry works offshore, Lucy currently spends her time looking after their kids while also working as a part-time waitress. What Lucy says Why is healthy eating important to you and when did you start cooking? "I am very passionate about healthy eating and cooking but I didn’t give healthy eating a lot of thought until I became a mum. When my boys started to wean, I became more careful about the kinds of food I was giving them, so I tried making my own homemade ketchup, baked beans, sugar free tomato sauce and even homemade chicken goujons and fish fingers. It’s amazing how much excess salt and sugar are in basic ingredients like ketchup and baked beans. I didn’t want my kids to have too much sugar in their diet so I decided to try and make these things myself. The experience encouraged me to make virtually everything from scratch and now I know exactly what I’m putting into my kids’ meals." Loved it? Let us know! What do you think is a common myth held about healthy eating? "I think a lot of mums don’t think that they have the time to cook healthily but you just have to make a decision to prioritise it. Anyone can learn how to make homemade fish fingers if they set aside the time." Are your children fussy eaters and how do you overcome teatime tantrums? "I never bought them ‘kids food’ growing up. They ate what we ate and, because of that, they are not fussy eaters. If you raise your kids to eat only certain kinds of meals, they will only eat those things and will be less willing to try new things. I try to feed my kids new meals every so often, by introducing them to new tastes and textures. I’m hoping that inspiring them to eat well at a young age will instil in them a habit of healthy eating." What is one of your success stories when it comes to getting your kids to eat healthily? "My greatest food success with the kids is giving them a salmon fillet with pesto, sundried tomatoes and mozzarella for dinner. They also like chicken korma curry as well as various different kinds of fruit and veg." What are some of your top tips for getting your kids to eat healthily? "One of my best tips for getting her kids to eat healthily is by making meal time a fun experience for them. I like to call my meals ‘dinosaur food’ or ‘tiger food’ which encourages the kids to eat without any fuss. If my kids don’t want to eat something, I won’t force them. Instead I encourage them to try new things. For example, if they don’t want to eat something like broccoli, I’ll group it with another ingredient they enjoy like carrots. They are more likely to eat it if it’s grouped alongside another kind of food." What is your favourite recipe? "I like to make is anything with a tomato base such as chilli con carne spaghetti Bolognese and curries. I like to use a slow cooker to prepare a lot of these recipes as it’s an easy way to cook a big family dinner without spending hours in the kitchen. I will also batch freeze a lot of my meals that she can use at a later time during the week." Lucy's favourite recipe "Tomato and tuna pasta with pesto, herbs and chilli flakes. It only takes 10 minutes and it’s a good source of nutrients, protein and good fats. Plus, if there’s extra sauce leftover, I like to use it to make homemade pizzas." If you want to make your own tomato and tuna pasta, give this recipe a go: http://www.eatbetterfeelbetter.co.uk/recipe/tuna-pasta-salad. Lucy's top tips "I try to make meal times a fun experience for my kids. The more fun you make it, the more likely they are to eat healthily without any kind of fuss. Try making a 'fakeaway' – our favourite is homemade chicken goujons and fish fingers. They’re much healthier than the fast food version and so simple to make. Plus, you can make them ahead of time and freeze them to use later."

__label__wiki	0.898781	0.898781	PHILSTAR VIDEOS Truvada is the first HIV prevention pill approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, for use as in some at-risk groups. In trials, the drug has shown to significantly reduce the transmission rate of HIV. But AIDS activists worry Truvada may cause a rise in high-risk behavior among sexual partners with "condom fatigue". Eden Woldearegay, John Giannini / AFPTV / AFP Patients taking anti-retroviral drugs vs HIV at high risk of other STIs — study Ratziel San Juan (Philstar.com) - December 12, 2019 - 11:24am MANILA, Philippines — Taking anti-retroviral drugs to prevent an infection of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a procedure known as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), could put one at a high risk of contracting other sexually transmitted infections, a new study suggests. A global study led by the Australia-based Monash University and the World Health Organisation found a correlation that people seeking PrEP to prevent HIV were also at high risk of other STIs. UN body projects 200,000 HIV case in Philippines by 2025 Physician Jason Ong from the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre and WHO worked with a team of researchers to conduct a global systematic review evaluating the prevalence and incidence of STI among individuals using PrEP. “The review, published in JAMA Network Open, highlighted the limited focus and investment in STI management within HIV programmes,” a WHO release dated Thursday (Philippine time) read. “The review showed that a quarter (24%) of people initiating PrEP were diagnosed with either chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis before they started taking PrEP. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of those continuing to use PrEP were diagnosed with either chlamydia, gonorrhoea or syphilis within a year of starting PrEP.” PrEP is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as “a way for people who do not have HIV but who are at very high risk of getting HIV to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day.” The treatment, when taken daily, has been found to reduce the risk of sexually-transmitted HIV by around 99% and drug injection-relation HIV by at least 74%. PrEP is less effective if not taken consistently. However, condoms are necessary to prevent other STIs since PrEP only protects against HIV. This corresponds with the study’s findings that HIV risk factors, such as low condom use, barriers to accessing or using condoms, and having more than one sexual partner are also the same risk factors of other STIs. Physician Rachel Baggaley from the WHO Department for HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections said that PrEP remains to be maximized in many parts of the world. “High numbers of curable STIs are being missed particularly in low- and middle-income countries. PrEP services can help prevent not just HIV but also STIs, and we should take advantage of this opportunity,” Baggaley, a co-author of the study, said in the release. HIV and its most advanced stage, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), afflict millions worldwide and remain a major public health issue. “Due to gaps in HIV services, 770 000 people died from HIV-related causes in 2018 and 1.7 million people were newly infected,” a WHO fact sheet read. WHO has recommended PreP since 2015 for people at risk of HIV. More than 60 countries worldwide have national policies implementing the treatment. However, most PrEP treatments are being implemented in high-income countries and are still being developed for low- and middle-income countries. “PrEP has the potential to be one of the most significant and powerful interventions to prevent HIV infection, and this paper has now highlighted an additional advantage of PrEP; that it provides an opportunity to improve the sexual health of those individuals and populations at highest risk of both HIV and STIs,” Melbourne Sexual Health Centre Director Professor Christopher Fairley said.

The game was close until late in the third quarter — the Mustangs were down 15-14 at halftime. The Mustangs’ offence was led by quarterback Justin Scheoning, who had a 40-yard touchdown pass to Wes Krampe. The convert was missed. Fullback Gus Halibert scored a touchdown with a one-yard run with a great surge from the offensive linemen. Logan Olson sniffed out a backwards lateral and ran it in for a score in the third quarter. The Mustangs were down 28-20 going into the fourth quarter. Due to an injured Titan, with just over a minute left in the game, it was decided to call the game so proper treatment could be administered to the player. The final score was 35–20 for the Titans. “We played a very physical game against a very good team,” said head coach Brian Murray. “Our boys are a little banged up, but they will be fine as we move forward. I’m extremely proud of the effort the boys put forth today.” The game against the Titans shed light on areas that the Mustangs could improve upon, said Murray. “Each week our coaching staff put together drills to address certain things that happen during a game. For us really, we just need to break down on our tackling and wrap the legs instead of going high and bouncing off — we do that and we’re going to have a lot of success,” he said. “We have a bye week this week so we really need to get after it at practice and sharpen up our tackling and timing on offence,” said Murray. “We will be healthy and ready to play for our next game.” The Mustangs’ next game is in Claresholm on Oct. 18.

__label__wiki	0.97254	0.97254	Liberal Democrats vow to ‘end culture of disbelief for LGBT+ asylum seekers’ Josh Milton November 15, 2019 Ahead of the general election, the Liberal Democrat party have pledged to prioritise LGBT+ asylum seekers. (Scott Barbour/Getty Images) The Liberal Democrat Party have announced plans to end the ‘culture of disbelief’ pervading the UK Home Office which stonewalls some LGBT+ asylum seekers from the country. Countless testimonies from asylum seekers and their legal aids have detailed a department that “persecutes” LGBT+ asylum seekers. Leading to some human rights activists and lawmakers to denounce the body for its “humiliation” of rainbow refugees. The commitment, to be included in the Liberal Democrats’ general election manifesto, forms part of the party’s ‘Plan for Immigration and Asylum’, which will be unveiled tomorrow. The announcement comes as lawmakers ready for the December 12 general election, which has seen LGBT+ rights increasingly in the heated spotlight. Lib Dems vow to ‘never refuse’ an LGBT+ refugee ‘on the basis that they could be discrete’. Reports and testimonies have gradually revealed a Home Office playbook, one where department workers gauge a queer seeker’s application based on troubling methods. Such as using a seeker’s dependency on homophobic or transphobic friends or family to discredit their applications, some seekers alleged, or not believing an applicant to be queer if they do not fit certain stereotypes. In their manifesto, the Liberal Democrats will commit to “offer asylum to people fleeing the risk of violence because of their sexual orientation or gender identification,” according to a press release. Moreover, the party will “end the culture of disbelief for LGBT+ asylum seekers and never refuse an LGBT+ applicant on the basis that they could be discreet.” Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine. (Ken Jack – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) Earlier this year, a Liberal Democrat analysis of Home Office statistics revealed that at least 3,100 claims for asylum on the basis of sexuality were refused. This was despite dozens of applicants being from countries where consensual same-sex acts are criminalised. A high-profile case came this year when a young gay man called Abderrahim El Habachi, who fled from Morocco to Swansea, accused the Home Office of “putting people through hell”. ‘We will end the Home Office’s cruel and callous culture’. Shadow home secretary Christine Jardine said in a statement: “The UK should be leading the campaign across to end homophobia and transphobia across the world. “Instead, we have a Conservative Government that is turning its back and looking the other way. “Far too many people fleeing persecution are denied sanctuary in the UK because officials simply assume that they are lying about who they are. “The Liberal Democrats demand better for LGBT+ people wherever they live. LGBT+ rights campaigners complain of a “culture of disbelief” in the Home Office’s treatment of LGBT+ asylum seekers.(Peter Macdiarmid/Getty) “We will end the Home Office’s cruel and callous culture of disbelief towards LGBT+ asylum seekers.” Earlier this year, it was reported that the Home Office rejected a gay man’s asylum claim because he did not have a gay “demeanour” and did not have an “effeminate manner”. Following pressure from campaigners, the British government announced in May that it would launch a review into the way claims made on the grounds of a person being LGBT+ are assessed. Last year, it was revealed that between 2015 and 2017, the rate of people granted asylum because of their sexuality fell by more than a third from 39 percent to 22 percent.

Rev. 2017;14(4):344-347 doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.KAV.WR.querido For Debate: Should Bariatric Surgery be Performed in Children and Adolescents with Hypothalamic Obesity? Sarka Stolbova, MD, Marek Benes, MD, Lenka Petruzelkova, MD, Jan Lebl, MD, PhD, Stanislava Kolouskova, MD Hypothalamic dysfunction leading to severe obesity is a serious long-term consequence of paediatric craniopharyngioma. It compromises quality of life, leads to long-term metabolic hazards, and may shorten life expectancy. Therefore, a proactive approach is required. Conventional treatment of hypothalamic obesity is difficult and hardly successful. Experience with bariatric surgery is limited, especially in younger patients. Two retrospective studies recently reported on classic bariatric surgery in a small series of individuals after craniopharyngioma. Of these, one included nine paediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). The immediate effects were promising: The mean weight loss was 20.9 kilograms at 6 months and 15.1 kilograms at 12 months. A duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (DBJS; EndoBarrier) is a mini-invasive, endoscopically placed and fully reversible bariatric procedure. We reported a boy diagnosed with craniopharyngioma at 10 years old who underwent surgery and radiotherapy. His body weight increased to 139 kilograms and body mass index (BMI) to 46.1 kg/m2 (+4.0 SD) within the subsequent 4.5 years. Fifteen months after DJBS placement, he lost 32.8 kilograms, and his BMI dropped to 32.7 kg/m2 (+2.9 SD). Thus, DJBS proved to be a promising procedure in the treatment of hypothalamic obesity. We suggest performing it in children and adolescents with hypothalamic obesity to prevent or attenuate its devastating long-term sequelae. doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.SBP.FD.Bariatric Therapeutic Genome Editing and its Potential Enhancement through CRISPR Guide RNA and Cas9 Modifications Nurit Assia Batzir, MD, Adi Tovin, PhD, Ayal Hendel, PhD Genome editing with engineered nucleases is a rapidly growing field thanks to transformative technologies that allow researchers to precisely alter genomes for numerous applications including basic research, biotechnology, and human gene therapy. The genome editing process relies on creating a site-specific DNA double-strand break (DSB) by engineered nucleases and then allowing the cell’s repair machinery to repair the break such that precise changes are made to the DNA sequence. The recent development of CRISPR-Cas systems as easily accessible and programmable tools for genome editing accelerates the progress towards using genome editing as a new approach to human therapeutics. Here we review how genome editing using engineered nucleases works and how using different genome editing outcomes can be used as a tool set for treating human diseases. We then review the major challenges of therapeutic genome editing and we discuss how its potential enhancement through CRISPR guide RNA and Cas9 protein modifications could resolve some of these challenges. doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.BTH.Therapeu Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Determinations in the Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrine Practice Amir Weintraub, MD, Talia Eldar-Geva, MD, PhD Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), secreted by immature testicular Sertoli-cells, triggers the regression of male fetal Mullerian ducts. During puberty, AMH is downregulated by intratesticular testosterone. In females, AMH is secreted from granulosa cells of immature ovarian follicles from late prenatal life until menopause; serum concentration is 5-20 times lower in females than in males through lifetime. In boys, AMH determination is useful in the clinical setting as a marker of Sertoli cell function. Serum AMH is low in infants with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (and increases with FSH treatment), in patients with primary hypogonadism from early postnatal life and in Klinefelter syndrome from midpuberty. In boys with nonpalpable gonads, AMH determination is useful to distinguish between cryptorchidism and anorchism, as well as differentiating the dysgenetic causes of disorders of sexual development from those due to defective androgen synthesis or action. AMH can be used as a marker of sertoli/granulosa cell tumors and primary ovarian insufficiency in girls with delayed puberty, Turner Syndrome and after treatment with gonadotoxic agents. doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.WG.Mullerian Adolescent Gynecomastia Carly E. Guss, MD, Amy D. Divasta, MD, MMSc Gynecomastia, defined as the presence of glandular breast tissue in men, is a common, typically benign physical exam finding during adolescence. Although the exact pathogenesis of gynecomastia is unknown, it is likely due to a hormonal imbalance between estrogens and androgens. Most cases are idiopathic and do not require further evaluation if the history and physical examination are reassuring. Although the majority of cases will resolve spontaneously, surgical correction may be an option for adolescents with persistent and problematic gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can have significant negative impact on one’s self-esteem, and it is crucial that primary care providers screen adolescents with gynecomastia for mental health concerns. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the true incidence and prevalence of gynecomastia in adolescent males, and to further investigate the short-term and long-term physical and emotional effects of gynecomastia. doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.GD.Gynecomastia Is the Second to Fourth Digit Ratio (2D:4D) a Biomarker of Sex-Steroids Activity? Vincenzo de Sanctis, MD, Ashraf T Soliman, MD, PhD, FRCP, Heba Elsedfy, MD, Nada Soliman, MS, Rania Elalaily, MD, Salvatore Di Maio, MD The second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) has been used as an indirect method to investigate the putative effects of prenatal exposure to androgens, and has been reported to be smaller in males than in females. This gender difference in digit length ratios has been linked with the in utero balance of androgens to oestrogen. This sexual dimorphism in 2D:4D ratios is apparent by 2 years of age and seems to be established early in life, possibly by the 14th week of gestation. Digits in females attain their maximum length at about 2.2 years (dextral subjects) or 5.1 years (sinistral subjects) earlier than those in males and increase slightly with age. It has also been reported that the 2D:4D ratio is correlated negatively with prenatal testosterone levels. This tentative theory is partially supported by lower 2D:4D in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), higher 2D:4D in individuals with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) and a relationship between 2D:4D and polymorphisms in the androgen receptor. In contrast, individuals with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), who have reduced testosterone secretion throughout life, have a mean 2D:4D value similar to those found in female population norms. Nevertheless, its validity has not yet been conclusively demonstrated and is currently debated. In this context, our aim was to review and debate the relationship between 2D:4D ratio and sex-steroids activity in children, adolescents and young adults. doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.SSE.SexSteroids Meeting Reports: The Eight International Congress of the GRS and IGF Society Tel Aviv, November 6-9, 2016 Haim Werner, PhD doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.W.MR.GRSIGF 2016 Annual Meeting of the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endocrinología Pediátrica (SLEP) Buenos Aires, Argentina (November 8-11, 2016), Selected Highlights Romina Grinspon, MD, PhD, Débora Braslavsky, MD, Ana Chiesa, MD, PhD, Patricia Papendieck, MD, Patricia Pennisi, PhD, Florencia Clement MD, PhD, Ana Vieites, MD, PhD, Ana Keselman, MD, Mirta Gryngarten, MD, Analía Freire, MD, PhD, María Gabriela Ballerini, MS, Rodolfo Rey, MD, PhD, Ignacio Bergadá, MD, Horacio Domené, PhD doi: 10.17458/per.vol14.2017.GBC.MR.SLEP	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2820

(Photo: St. Louis PD) Former St. Louis Police Officer Jason Stockley — who last year was found not guilty of murder in the 2011 shooting of drug suspect Anthony Lamar Smith — is now suing the former prosecutor who charged him with murder for an on-duty shooting as well as the internal affairs detective who helped build the case against him, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The suit alleges former Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce lied to a judge in order to secure Stockley’s arrest and that former St. Louis police internal affairs investigator Kirk Deeken made false claims about evidence to grand jurors that led to Stockley’s indictment. “Their actions recklessly keyed up the city for riots. It’s more than just the suffering of me and my family. If an injustice like this is allowed, it threatens justice everywhere and it can happen to anyone,” Stockley told the Post-Dispatch. Stockley said that he believes Joyce’s decision to charge him with murder was a way for her to pacify protesters and preserve her legacy.

Zach Moak, 31, were both taken to Kings Daughter's Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead. (Photo: Brookhaven PD) Marquis Flowers was out on bond when he was allegedly involved in the fatal shootings of two Brookhaven, MS, police officers early Saturday morning, reports the Clarion Ledger. Flowers, who was wounded either before or during the melee, is in custody but hospitalized. He has not been charged in the deaths of James White, 35, and Zach Moak, 31. While he is the only suspect in custody, according to Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain, others have been questioned about the shooting. But it appears Flowers should have been in custody before the shootings occurred. According to Mississippi Parole Board Chairman Steven Pickett, a failure to appear warrant was issued for Flowers in August when he didn't show up for a trial in Adams County. Flowers was sentenced in 2012 to eight counts of auto burglary and conspiracy and sentenced to concurrent sentences, Pickett said. In March 2017, Flowers had his parole revoked when the Natchez Police Department charged him with vehicle theft and felony fleeing. He was returned to community corrections in May and posted a $50,000 bond. It is from that point that it's unclear what happened to Flowers.

__label__cc	0.700443	0.299557	La luz es más antigua que el amor Light is Older than Love Original title: La luz es más antigua que el amor Category: Fiction \| Literary Fiction In 1350, when Europe is still recovering from the Black Death, the future Pope Gregory XI visits the Tuscan painter Adriano de Robertis to destroy his latest work, the blasphemous Bearded Virgin. On the 25th February 1970, the North American painter Mark Rothko slits his wrists in his New York studio. The 11th September 2001, the Russian painter Vsévolod Semiasin writes a letter in which he reveals the causes of his madness. The story of these three masters revolves around a mystery – the unknown fate of Bearded Virgin by Adriano de Robertis – and a central idea – the commitment of the artist to his art in the face of persecution. Highlights Light is Older than Love A surprisingly original novel by one of the most highly regarded contemporary Spanish writers. After the trilogy formed by La ofensa, Derrumbe and El corrector, Ricardo Menéndez Salmón returns with an audacious text that can be read as a book about apprenticeship, artistic genius or a mystery novel. “Menéndez Salmón is an extremely cultured man possessed of his own expressionist, powerful style.” RAFAEL CONTE, Babelia, El País “One of the authors whom both critics and readers keep tabs on.” MANUEL DE LA FUENTE, ABC Porto Editora (Portugal), Jacqueline Chambon (France), Marcos & Marcos (Italy), Ithaki (Turkey).

Release Date: Out Now Publisher: Activision Developer: Beenox OVERVIEW GAME FEATURES Dare to be amazing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is Peter Parker’s chance to shine. Spider-Man’s geeky, all-too-awkward identity is given more time in the spotlight on PlayStation 4, which means that as well as swinging, slinging and thwarting crime, you’ll be digging into the background of some of Marvel’s greatest super-villains and unravelling a plot that threatens to engulf Manhattan. But that doesn’t mean Spider-Man takes a back seat. You’ll be going face-to-face with Rhino, Electra and skyscrapers alike, while a new Hero or Menace system means that you’ll be rewarded for cracking down on crime. Or punished for letting it fester.

__label__wiki	0.875443	0.875443	Hayward leads Celtics past Timberwolves Gordon Hayward scores a season-high 30 points and adds nine rebounds and eight assists in a 118-109 win. MINNEAPOLIS — Gordon Hayward had a season-high 30 points and added nine rebounds and eight assists, helping the Boston Celtics win their third straight game by staving off the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-109 on Saturday night. Hayward, now in a bench role after starting the season slowly, scored 11 of Boston’s final 15 points made 4 of 5 shots from 3-point range. Kyrie Irving pitched in 21 points and nine assists, Jayson Tatum added 19 points and nine rebounds, and Marcus Morris had 16 points on 4-for-7 shooting from 3-point range. Kyrie Irving drives past Minnesota's Robert Covington during Boston's 118-109 win Saturday night in Minneapolis. Irving finished with 21 points and nine assists. Associated Press/Jim Mone Derrick Rose scored 26 points for the Timberwolves, who fell to 9-4 at home and 7-3 since trading All-Star Jimmy Butler. Karl-Anthony Towns had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Robert Covington had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolves, who allowed more than 103 points for the first time in eight games and saw their four-game winning streak stopped. Despite missing six of his eight attempts from 3-point range, Irving was the catalyst for the Celtics for much of the night. When Andrew Wiggins couldn’t quite corral a loose ball at the top of the key on Minnesota’s end in the third quarter, Irving snagged it and raced the other way to feed Tatum for a lob pass and an easy dunk for a 67-55 lead by Boston. After beating San Antonio by 39 points on Wednesday, the third-largest margin of victory in franchise history, the Wolves played just well enough to stay within striking distance the whole game but just lackluster enough to lose. Six of their 16 turnovers were traveling calls. Rose did his best to provide energy and production off the bench. He opened the fourth quarter by sinking a mid-range jumper, then hit a 3-pointer to bring the Wolves within 89-86. On their next possession, his bounce pass through traffic in the lane set up Gorgui Dieng for a three-point play that tied game for the first time since early in the second quarter. But after the Wolves were within 103-101 on Covington’s pair of free throws, Hayward took over. Hayward, who has struggled often in the first quarter of the season in his comeback from a gruesome ankle injury in the 2017-18 opener, has begun to rediscover his rhythm. The ninth-year forward swished consecutive 3-pointers during a 21-7 surge the Celtics used in the second quarter to build a lead as big as 57-43. Morris hit back-to-back 3-pointers to begin that run. TOUGH TRAVEL The Celtics are in the middle of a rough stretch of the schedule with 8 of 13 contests on the road and no back-to-back home games. This visit to Minnesota, the night after playing at home in Boston, was already their eighth road game against a Western Conference team this season. “There’s no excuses to be made,” Coach Brad Stevens said. “You just play the next one.” CELTICS: Forward Jaylen Brown missed his third straight game because of a bruised lower back. He warmed up before tipoff but was still too sore to suit up. … Backup center Aron Baynes had five fouls in 16 minutes. TIMBERWOLVES: After missing 17 of 18 shots, including all 10 of his 3-point attempts, against Chicago a week ago, Covington has gone 20 for 38 from the floor and 10 for 23 from 3-point range over the last three games. … Wiggins had 17 points on 5-for-12 shooting.

Second Thoughts: Reflections on Literature and on Life By François Mauriac During the summer of '39, when Paris was in a tumult of public tension, a Cézanne exhibit at the Orangerie acquired, by force of contrast, a special significance. I was troubled and divided in mind whenever I went to see it, but each time I came away with a renewed conviction that the artist's vocation springs fundamentally from his selflessness. And Cézanne reminded me that the more people surrender to violent partisanship the more they need the disinterested detachment of a few men. It is a wonderful thing that Montaigne should have meditated on man and the human condition in the midst of the darkest of religious wars. The bloody horror of that conflict fortified him in his mission as observer and witness. He was the one attentive reporter in a country gone mad: "Others mold man," he wrote, "but I set him forth." He never claimed for a moment . . .

I owe much not merely to Mr. Gustav Oberlaender, the generous founder of the Trust, but also to Dr. Wilbur K. Thomas, its Secretary, for many courtesies and kindnesses. To the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, where I spent some time studying the Brahms manuscripts, and especially to its Custodians Dr. Karl Geiringer and Dr. Hedwig Kraus, and to its Secretary Dr. Victor Luithlen, whose tireless assistance greatly aided me, I extend my cordial thanks, both for their forwarding of my work and for permission to enrich my book with the three facsimiles from manuscripts of Brahms chamber music works here reproduced for the first time. In the possession of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde are the following manuscripts of Brahms: the String Quartets in C minor and in A minor, Opus 51; the last movement of the Piano Quartet in C minor, Opus 60; the Cello Sonata in F, Opus 99; the Trio in C minor, Opus 101 ; The Viola Quintet in G, Opus 111; and the Clarinet Quintet . The manuscript of the G major Violin Sonata, Opus 78 , is at the Brahms Haus in Gmunden, a museum founded by Brahms's friend Miller zu Aichholz on his property above the Traunsee.

New report suggests that small and mid-sized companies are at risk Fairfield, New Jersey (PRWEB) June 23, 2016 Quikteks, New Jersey’s leading managed service provider, says there is a growing gap in disaster recovery plans. According to a recent survey by Infrascale, a Disaster Recovery as a Service provider, roughly 80 percent of businesses in this category rely on tape-based or disk-based backups. According to Andrew Rich, owner and CEO of Quikteks, “This is crazy given the ease, cost, and protection that modern disaster recovery systems offer — not to mention the growing threats to business data like ransomware.” Rich also noted that tape and disk backups are notoriously unreliable. “Media fills up fast, and you have to rely on staff to remember to swap out the backups. Moreover, if something truly disastrous were to take place, like a fire, unless you have a copy of your backup stored offsite, your data could be gone for good.” Infrascale’s survey, 2016 DRaaS Attitudes & Adoption Report, which was developed by Actual Tech Media, noted that 37 percent of respondents could not quantify downtime’s costs. “How would losing your business data for one hour, one day, or one week impact your business?” Rich asked. “These are questions you need to ask. Downtime is costly.” Meanwhile, more than half of the survey’s respondents lacked failover capabilities that would enable them to recover their most business critical applications within one hour. “It’s also alarming that few businesses are testing their disaster recovery systems, assuming that they have them,” Rich said. Rich noted that the top causes of downtime aren’t necessarily natural disasters. “Hardware failure, human error, and software failure are the top three causes,” he said. To protect against these and other threats, Rich recommends implementing a failproof disaster recovery system. For example, Quikteks performs automatic backups every 15 minutes. Should a crash occur, the Quikteks system takes over the server’s duties until your system has been repaired and restored. “When we say ‘failproof,’ we mean it,” Rich explained. “There’s no downtime and your data is safe.” Schedule a free disaster recovery assessment by visiting Quikteks.com or calling 973-882-4644.

__label__wiki	0.826213	0.826213	The Virag Family celebrate Our Story Sixteen years ago the Virag family moved to the Madison area and almost immediately became active at Rabbit Run. While Ken holds the fort, Sue and their daughters, Makenna and Shaylin, have jumped feet first into all aspects of life at Rabbit Run. From private music lessons and dance classes to youth camps, ushering and performing at the theater, and singing in the Madison Chorale—they’ve done it all. For the past three years Sue has become a familiar face at RRCAA, working both in the office and in the theater box office. “Rabbit Run is a gem in our community. I just couldn’t imagine not being involved here.” 14-year-old Shaylin sums up the family’s sentiments nicely in saying, “I love Rabbit Run—it’s like a second home!” Fritz and Patty Page celebrate Our Story Actress Patty Page has performed in four productions at Rabbit Run: Mornings at Seven, The Cemetery Club, The Whales of August and most recently, On Golden Pond. Patty won a Bunny Award for Best Actress on two occasions for her roles in The Cemetery Club and On Golden Pond. Her husband, Fritz, has been right at Patty’s side waiting through rehearsals, ushering for performances, and cheering her on. “We used to vacation in the area and started coming to Rabbit Run Theater in 1993. Upon moving to the Madison in 1996, we became season ticket holders and have been since that time.” “To spend a summer evening here in this beautiful setting with everyone knowing everyone else . . . it just doesn’t get any better!” Suzzane Ryan Tells Our Story One of the most recognizable faces at Rabbit Run Theater has never graced the stage. Box Office Manager Suzzane Ryan has been greating patrons with her signature smile for the past fourteen seasons. "When I first started, I didn't think I'd ever remember anyone's name. Now I can tell you exactly where they prefer to sit!" "It's amazing how close you get to people, even though the Box Office is only open seasonally," she explains. "It's such a kind and generous environment and creativity is the aura of the place." Suzzane feels that the best is yet to come. "The more you love something, the better it gets." Clay Fellows Tells Our Story When Clay Fellows began to explore options for his Eagle Scout project, he felt very strongly that it should support Rabbit Run. "I had been to theater camps, worked backstage and my sister had been in several shows. Somehow I was always tied back to it." Throughout the 2013 theater season, he raised funds and worked with local businesses to create a permanent picnic pavilion on the grounds of Rabbit Run Theater. Clay's hard work inspired support and collaboration throughout the community. He's pleased to see how his project has enhanced something he loves. "There are many places to go for entertainment. There's only one Rabbit Run." The Duffy-Heidrich Family Tells Our Story At the age of 8, Paige Heidrich attended RRCAA’s Summer Theater Camp for the first time. She felt right at home. Her parents, John Heidrich and Cecilia Duffy, recognized that “it was an immediate match for her as she fell in love with performing.” They began to seek out other opportunities for Paige. Once again they turned to RRCAA. Now 16 Paige’s abilities have expanded and matured through RRCAA’s classes in dance, voice and drama as well as summer camps and acting in productions at Rabbit Run Theater. “I find myself growing each time I perform,” she explains. John and Cecilia value RRCAA from a number of perspectives, including their work at Geneva Chiropractic Clinic. “As a business owner, I see the tremendous service that Rabbit Run provides for the surrounding community, so I support RRCAA financially” John explains. Cecilia adds, “As a mother, I see that Rabbit Run is family friendly. Paige has had first-class training that will help her in any future endeavor.” Reflecting on her experiences at RRCAA, Paige agrees. “They truly care about helping me succeed.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2878
__label__cc	0.608225	0.391775	ALEC and Heartland Aim to Crush Renewable Energy Standards in the States Submitted by Sara Jerving on November 27, 2012 - 9:28am An effort to stomp out state renewable energy mandates across the country has roots in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). As reported by The Washington Post, the Heartland Institute wrote the bill, had it passed through ALEC, and is now targeting the 29 states and the District of Columbia, which have passed renewable energy requirements in some form. Renewable energy not only produces cleaner energy, it grows the local job base and allows state's to diversify their supply and not be held hostage to the fossil fuel industry. Green energy jobs are a robust sector of the economy employing some 175,000 Americans. But some of ALEC's most powerful members are deeply rooted in the "drill, frack, burn" method of energy supply. ALEC is a corporate bill mill that puts corporate lobbyists and state legislators together behind closed doors to vote on cookie-cutter legislation that is then introduced in statehouses across the nation. ALEC's membership includes fossil fuel companies, utility companies, and energy trade groups in the United States including Chevron, BP, Peabody Energy, Duke Energy, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, and only a handful of green energy firms. For the Heartland Institute, the corporate purse strings lead back to ALEC private sector board members Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries, whose massive holdings include oil refineries. All three are ALEC private sector members. Heartland Goes to Bat For Fossil Fuels, Again and Again The Electricity Freedom Act was approved by ALEC in July 2012 in its Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force and would repeal standards in states that require that utilities get a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. As CMD has reported, the Heartland Institute has been on an aggressive campaign to deny that fossil fuels pose a threat to our environment, economy and the lives of people around the world. It was publicly shamed and lost a sizable chunk of its funding when it paid for billboards comparing those concerned about climate change to "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski, serial killer Charles Manson, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. But that didn't deter Heartland. Heartland's mission is not a solo one -- the group is funded by some of the nation's biggest polluters. Heartland received $736,500 from Exxon Mobil between 1998 and 2006, according to its spokesman, Jim Lakely, and $25,000 in 2011 from foundations affiliated with the oil billionaire Koch brothers. While The Washington Post reported Lakely saying that the Koch donation was "earmarked for our work on health care policy, not energy or environment policy," documents leaked from Heartland in February contain a "Climate Strategy" memo which notes the Koch donation under a subhead on "climate project fundraising." Heartland contests the veracity of the memo. ALEC Cites Koch and ALEC-Linked Study to Back Claims on Renewables To back the ALEC bill's claims that renewable energy is "a tax on consumers," ALEC points to an economic analysis co-published by Suffolk University's Beacon Hill Institute and the State Policy Network (SPN). But this analysis was hardly independent. Both groups have received donations from foundations funded by the Koch brothers. SPN was a "Chairman" level sponsor of ALEC's 2011 Annual Conference and ALEC is an Associate Member of SPN. The one-two punch of an industry backed bill plus an industry backed study is a classic one. "You push the legislation to state legislators and then you fund reports to support the argument and convince state lawmakers," Gabe Elsner, co-director of the public watchdog group Checks and Balances Project told the Washington Post, "and all without any transparency or disclosure about the sources of this funding." This piece has been updated to reflect that the Heartland Institute contests the veracity of the "Climate Strategy" memo. ALEC’s Washington State Chair Engaged in Domestic Terrorism, Report Concludes ALEC Influence in Ohio Greases Skids for Anti-Protest Bill Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Makes Unscheduled Appearance at ALEC Conference in Arizona to Promote Costly School Voucher Program Gerrymandering, Elections, School Privatization, and More on the Agenda as ALEC meets in Arizona ALEC to Host “Free Speech Dinner” with Anti-LGBT Group in Arizona Jim Lakely replied on November 28, 2012 - 3:03pm Permalink Sara, That "Climate Strategy Memo" is a fake. It was not produced by anyone at or affiliated with The Heartland Institute. Even many on the left have given up that ghost long ago. Go to the link below, then click around the site some. http://fakegate.org/bast-on-forged-memo/ And what does this even mean?: "For the Heartland Institute, the corporate purse strings lead back to ALEC private sector board members Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries, whose massive holdings include oil refineries. All three are ALEC private sector members." Lead back where? Heartland hasn't received a cent from ExxonMobile in going on seven years, and got a tiny gift from Koch for education policy, its first gift in a decade. How is that Heartland benefiting from their "corporate purse strings"? I don't get it ... other than as a sloppy attempt to include Heartland in some nefarious, corporate-funded conspiracy. You might want to write and act less paranoid. It'll be good for your health. In 2011 Heartland received 46 percent of its income from foundations, 29 percent from corporations, and 22 percent from individuals. And no corporate donor gave more than 5 percent of Heartland's annual budget. That's the truth, whether it fits your narrative, or not. Jim Lakely Director of Communications The Heartland Institute Chicago, IL Kevin Schmidt replied on November 28, 2012 - 8:40pm Permalink Jim, Whatever. Your dubious organization does not advocate renewable energy. No one is fooled. Sara Jerving replied on November 30, 2012 - 10:45am Permalink Dear Mr. Lakely, Thank you for being in touch; we will note the memo is contested. Jon Wesenberg replied on December 5, 2012 - 12:45pm Permalink Heartland Institute Funding Mr. Lakely, I challenge you to divulge the names of Heartland's donors and the amounts they donated. I have no qualms about making my donations to CMD and similar organizations public. I would have to check my records, but I believe I've given them about $250 over the past few years and intend to keep doing so. A little transparency might buy you some of the credibility you seem to be looking for. Rep. Jordan Ulery replied on November 29, 2012 - 8:56pm Permalink Honesty in Reporting This article is complete misleading and specious. The focus is not on fossil fuels, but on allowing encouraging the development of affordable and renewable energy in an open market. Please be honest with the discussion. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the State of {insert state} does not wish to discourage the marketing of “green” power and “green” pricing such that willing buyers and sellers of renewable energy sources are free to negotiate the terms and conditions of such sales, and no technology or class of technologies is given an unfair competitive advantage; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Act also recognizes the prudency and reasonableness of many of the renewable contracts and investments and allows for recovery of costs where appropriate; and BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, that the State of {insert state} repeals the renewable energy mandate and as such, no electric distribution utilities and electric services companies will be forced to procure renewable energy resources as defined by the State of {insert state}’s renewable energy mandate. Lisa Graves replied on November 30, 2012 - 3:57am Permalink Rep. Ulery, ALEC State Chair for New Hampshire Dear Rep. Ulery: With all due respect, it is your description that is misleading and specious. The focus of the bill is plainly on repealing state commitments to invest in and rely on renewable energy to meet a portion of the energy needs of a state's citizens. The obvious beneficiary of "repeal[ing] the renewable energy mandate" is the fossil fuel industry, which has been given numerous "competitive advantages" through government subsidies over many years. In publicly available documents, you have been identified as a State Chairman for ALEC for New Hampshire. Under ALEC's public bylaws, you have a "duty" to advance ALEC's legislative agenda in your home state. Your public record in the statehouse demonstrates that you have done so repeatedly, on numerous measures that hurt the rights of Granite state citizens and advance the agenda of ALEC's private sector members. You have also attended ALEC meetings at taxpayer expense, meetings where such bills are crafted and promoted to be introduced and made into law. It is thus not surprising to see that you are attempting to defend this particular ALEC bill. If your opposition to "unfair competitive advantages" were a matter of principle, you would be on record supporting a repeal of the $4 billion dollars in subsidies to the oil industry, an industry whose top three U.S. companies had a combined profit of over $80 billion last year alone. A public records check reveals your silence on that matter. Thank you, however, for sharing your claim with us. Lisa Graves Anonymous replied on December 5, 2012 - 9:02pm Permalink Excellent retort, Lisa. Anonymous replied on December 1, 2012 - 8:31am Permalink Dear ALEC Dear ALEC: Hands off New Hampshire! According to this op-ed in today's Concord [NH] Monitor -- http://www.concordmonitor.com/home/3075332-95/hampshire-million-plants-power -- New Hampshire's renewable energy mandate has already brought the state a huge return on investment: <blockquote>This spring, in preparing for the debate on Senate Bill 218, which modified the RPS law, utility representatives and I [the op-ed writer] found that New Hampshire and its communities received $111.1 million in direct benefits –- taxes and economic activity -– from its renewable energy projects in 2010." </blockquote> The op-ed goes on to detail the direct benefits and much more in indirect benefits. I believe these tangible benefits to New Hampshire are well worth legally mandating, as opposed to ALEC's nebulous benefits of free-market ideology to "{insert state here}." Mahhn replied on November 29, 2012 - 9:45pm Permalink BS meant to scare people I have a friend that is a member of ALEC. He tells me what goes on, all the meeting are open to anyone. He gets harrased by people that have no clue what they actualy do and he offers them to come listen. Once they do they get board and wander off, certanly no longer feeling it's something to protest. You should go to one of the meetings. Then you can STFU and go after real issues, like the 2012 NDAA. Not true Your friend is lying to you, Mahhn. We know for 100% certainty that the ALEC meetings are not "open to anyone" (meaning everyone), and in fact ALEC's task force meetings where state legislators vote as equals with corporate lobbyists and special interest groups are closed to the press and to the public. And, we have documented how reporters have been excluded from attending other portions of ALEC meetings, as have others: https://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/01/11237/alec-politician-claims-alec-meetings-are-open-public-really So, you really ought to re-examine the false claims of your buddy. And, for your information, we have submitted a brief challenging the NDAA and have another challenge underway.

Putnam Investments \| Fixed Income Outlook \| Q3 2018 Fixed Income Outlook \| Q3 2018 Interest rates and trade create headwinds The U.S. economy is poised to pick up some speed in the second half of 2018. Escalating trade tensions between the United States and its major trading partners pose risks. The European Central Bank is poised to wind down its bond-buying program by year's end. The outlook for global growth is stable — albeit less synchronized — for the remainder of 2018, we believe. The U.S. economy is poised to expand at a stronger pace this year, buoyed by government spending and corporate investment. The likelihood of a recession remains relatively low. More strikingly, we are starting to see some convergence in global growth rates — especially between the United States and the eurozone — in the second half of this year. The growth gap had widened during the first half of 2018. For fixed-income markets, this year is turning out to be more challenging than 2017. Higher interest rates, the long-feared trade war, rising inflation, higher oil prices, and political risks have weighed on the global bond market. The Federal Reserve raised rates twice this year — in March and in June 2018 — and signaled that it is on track to raise short-term rates at least once more this year. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed the 3% psychological barrier in April, setting a new five-year high, and the yield curve has flattened. Higher rates typically create some challenges for fixed-income assets. Bond yields will continue to drift higher over the course of 2018, in our view, as rate normalization continues in the United States and globally. A more hawkish Fed also stepped up the pace of its balance sheet reductions in April, and this is expected to continue through October, when the pace will reach its highest level. Across the Atlantic, the European Central Bank plans to wind down its bond purchase program by the end of 2018. But, the ECB remained dovish and said it did not expect to raise interest rates, which are at historic lows, until the fall of 2019 at the earliest. The risk that the trade conflict between the United States and its major trading partners will escalate continued to plague markets and investor sentiment. In July, the United States and China imposed punitive tariffs on each other's imports. The European Union, Mexico, and Canada have similarly retaliated against President Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs. While the volume of trade targeted is too small to influence the economic trajectory much, the possibility of an expanded and more damaging trade war looms. U.S. economy a bright spot The American economy headed into the second half of 2018 with strong momentum and the longest streak of job growth on record. The labor market remains robust as hiring improved and wage gains accelerated. Employers added 213,000 net new jobs in June as more people flocked to the job market, reflecting healthy gains in a broad range of industries such as manufacturing and construction. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4% in June from an 18-year low of 3.8% in May. The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.2% in the first quarter of 2018 due to lower consumer and business spending. Still, corporate investment picked up in the second quarter, although most of the increase has been in extractive industries where high prices and a relaxation of environmental regulations have boosted profit margins. We expect U.S. growth to be stronger in the second half than in the first six months of 2018, supported by the latest fiscal stimulus and corporate investment. The risks to growth, however, seem asymmetric to the downside. The tariffs imposed by President Trump, along with the threats of more tariffs and trade restrictions, are unsettling financial markets. There is clear historical evidence that uncertainty is bad for investment. The administration's hard line on trade policies has prompted retaliatory measures by major trading partners, including China, the European Union, and Mexico. China, the world's second-biggest economy, has imposed $34 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Canada, a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which is still being renegotiated, announced retaliatory tariffs against almost $13 billion of U.S. products. The European Union has announced similar measures. Fed and interest-rate hikes The Federal Reserve raised rates in March and in June 2018, and signaled that two additional rate increases in 2018 are likely. U.S. government and global bond yields trended higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has continued to hover near the 3% psychological barrier, signaling that higher rates are ahead in the world's biggest bond market. The 2-year yield also hit its highest level since 2008, and the yield curve has been on a flattening trend. Debt yields also rose pretty much in lockstep with oil prices. That is not surprising because of the clear influence energy has on headline inflation. The strong economic recovery in the United States and a more determined Fed means U.S. rates are likely to rise gradually. This upward drift, however, may continue to be interrupted by rallies when markets fear that higher rates may constrain growth. The Fed's June increase pushed the federal funds target to 1.75%–2.00%. These increases add to the costs of consumer debt, particularly credit cards, home equity lines of credit, and other adjustable-rate instruments. We believe there is increased risk of overtightening as the Fed steps up the pace of balance sheet reductions and interest-rate hikes in the second half of this year. Short-term rates have kept pace with balance sheet reductions. It's not at all clear to us that the Fed is paying enough attention to developments at the front end of the yield curve, which are certainly rippling through the economy and asset markets. Meanwhile, U.S. inflation accelerated in May to the fastest pace in more than six years, reinforcing the Fed's outlook for interest-rate hikes. The consumer price index rose 0.2% from April and 2.8% from a year earlier, partly reflecting higher fuel prices. The Fed's preferred gauge of core prices was up 1.8% in April from a year earlier. While it is likely that core inflation will breach the Fed's 2% target later this year, policy makers seem quite comfortable with that outlook for 2018. Oil prices rose quite sharply this year, driven by a growing global economy, production cuts by OPEC, and increased geopolitical tensions. The ECB's balancing act Across the Atlantic, the European Central Bank (ECB) in June decided to end its €2.6 trillion bond purchase program by the end of 2018. The bank said it did not expect to raise interest rates, which are at historic lows, until the fall of 2019 at the earliest. The looming trade war, with the United States and Europe announcing tit-for-tat tariffs on products, have raised concerns about growth in the region. ECB President Mario Draghi and other policy makers have singled out protectionism as a threat to the eurozone's outlook. One of the big stories in the first half was the deceleration in the eurozone. Economic growth slowed to 0.4% in the first quarter — the weakest in six quarters — after expanding 0.7% at the end of 2017. Manufacturing eased, and the euro strengthened. Fortunately, this material downshift appears to be coming to an end as growth indicators stabilize, domestic demand steadies, and consumer confidence rises. Inflation in Europe hit 2% in June for the first time in more than a year, supported by higher oil prices. The pickup in the inflation rate was just above the ECB's target. Still, political turmoil in Italy — the eurozone's third-largest economy — is likely to complicate the ECB's policy decisions this year. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte took power in early June to head a new populist government made up of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the far-right League party. The populists have various economic proposals, and if enacted, they would raise Italy's fiscal deficit, lower potential growth, and worsen Italy's public debt. Italy needs growth driven by a better economic structure. Without that growth, it remains vulnerable to higher interest rates. Given the new coalition's program, we think the default risk on Italian government securities (BTPs) is materially higher than it is for Greece or the other bonds included in the JPMorgan High Yield Index. Cross currents in emerging markets The jump in global interest rates, a stronger dollar, rising oil prices, and trade jitters have caused havoc across emerging markets. We expect bond yields in emerging markets to continue rising over the coming months. The Fed will be a primary focus for the remainder of 2018 as rate increases and balance sheet reduction are widely expected to be implemented at a faster pace, and these will continue to have impact on emerging markets. Political risks also weighed on some key emerging-market economies, including Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. President Trump's protectionist trade policies targeting U.S. trading partners, including Mexico, continues to weigh on Mexican asset markets. Also, the leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador was elected president in a landslide victory that swept aside the previous ruling party, which has governed the country for most of the past 70 years. In Argentina, the central bank raised rates to double digits to defend a battered peso, which had been weakened by capital flight. In Brazil, political uncertainty ahead of the October presidential elections weighed on bonds. China, the world's second-biggest economy, is showing signs of slowing and is vulnerable to private capital outflows. The government has cracked down on borrowing to curb rising debt levels in the country. The knock-on effect of the trade dispute with the United States may heighten the downside risks for the Chinese economy.

Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk, which means the prices of the fund’s bond investments are likely to fall if interest rates rise. Bond investments also are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the bond may default on payment of interest or principal. Interest-rate risk is generally greater for longer-term bonds, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade bonds, which may be considered speculative. Unlike bonds, funds that invest in bonds have ongoing fees and expenses. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Funds that invest in government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk.

Moonlighting Murder She Wrote private detective RankEm Riptide Simon & Simon TV Rank 'Em: '80s Private Detective TV Shows From "Magnum, P.I." to "Murder, She Wrote," television in the '80s definitely had its share of private detectives. You definitely didn't need a badge to catch the bad guys as former cops, thrill-seeking rich folk, and clergy all lined up to "take a bite out of crime." Shows like "Miami Vice" and "Hill Street Blues" told the stories of police officers and detectives in the line of duty, but the private eyes seemed to have much more fun corralling the criminals. I see the spirit of these '80s shows in current dramas like "Castle" and "The Mentalist" where civilian investigators assist the police in solving mysteries. There were a few shows like "Jake & the Fatman" that had that blueprint, but for the most part, the cops took a back seat in the shows we'll be ranking this week. For this list, I'm primarily looking for shows with characters who assisted but were not employed by the police or government. For example, I did include Knight Rider and MacGyver which were pseudo private investigator-type shows featuring investigators from independent organizations. Several shows are listed below including some gray area ones which did investigative work but were not necessary private eyes. Feel free to add them to your list or any I missed that you think fit the genre! In the previous Rank 'Em, we didn't have any new commenters step up to be a guest, so I've called in another friend...Eclectik of Eclectik Relaxation! Me and E go way back...well, in podcast years.

Simon & Simon had a great theme, great acting; anything Gerald McRaney is in is gold. The giant pickup, the Camaro, good comedy...plus it had Downtown Brown! The A-Team is probably my favorite 80s Television show period. I've seen every episode; very original plot...memorable characters, dynamic cast. You'd think it would've had more violence than it did; Plus it had Hulk Hogan AND Rick James on the show! Rick James!!!! Moonlighting was another show with great theme and the intro of Bruce Willis. This was the first show that I actually cared if the stars got together or not, plus I'm a sucker for any show that breaks the fourth wall...wasn’t crazy about the black and white episodes but I loved the show. Charlie's Angels had the women and the mystery of who Charlie was...that was enough to get you to tune in daily (or watch the reruns.) Granted it ended in 81, it’s still the 80s! Come on! Female private dicks with guns, solving crimes. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett...what more do you want? Magnum P.I. had a lot going for it...Robin's nest, the Ferrari, the back and forth with Higgs, the helicopter and TC, just the location period. Besides, how many shows have "the Chairman of the Board" AND Mr. Miyagi as guest stars? And it also had a big crossover story arc with Simon and Simon! Jason's List 1. Magnum, P.I. 2. Knight Rider 4. MacGyver 5. Riptide Magnum, P.I. has to be #1 in the private detective draft. He was a good investor who drove a cool car and had a great team of friends whenever he needed help. "Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law." Need I say more about Knight Rider? There was something just plain fun about Simon & Simon. Rick and A.J. were the odd couple of detective work, but the show worked on so many levels. Most people nowadays seem to think of MacGyver as a glorified construction worker. But it took a great deal of intelligence gathering and undercover work to get to the daring rescue in each episode using weapons like a gum-paperclip-walkie talkie-cardboard-cantelope designed rocket launcher. Love the "Screaming Mimi!" I remember at one point Riptide followed the A-Team in the NBC lineup. Occasionally, my parents would give in to my heartfelt pleas and let me stay up to watch it.

__label__wiki	0.841735	0.841735	The Government announces new gender pay gap promise David Cameron wants to end the gender pay gap and create 'pressure for change'. By Hannah Gilchrist It's a tough gig being a woman in Britain and David Cameron wants to change all that with new plans to close the gender pay gap and end it in a generation. And about time too. Writing in the Times today the Prime Minister announced his plans to shake up the way we currently publish salaries and force businesses with more than 250 employees to reveal exactly what they're paying their men and women. 'Today I’m announcing a really big move: we will make every single company with 250 employees or more publish the gap between average female earnings and average male earnings,' he explained. 'That will cast sunlight on the discrepancies and create the pressure we need for change, driving women’s wages up.' We know what you're thinking, you've heard all of this before. You've heard about people, and by people we mean politicians, talking about our gender pay gap of 19%, how it's wrong, how it needs to change. But is this the move we've been waiting for? There's still a long way to go and David Cameron knows it. There are some positives such as there are more women-led businesses than ever before, a record number of women in work, and a gender pay gap at an all-time low – however there’s still a lot more to do. For example, data revealed last week suggested that the gender pay gap might be hiding in men's bonuses, with men taking home almost twice as much as their female counterparts when it came to bonus season. This follows a Women in Financial Institutions (WiFI) report, which found that women's bonuses add up to 16pc of their basic salary, compared to 23pc for men. If there's anything that's going to create pressure for change, we have a feeling it's stats like this.

__label__wiki	0.701556	0.701556	WOW: The Washington Post Just Demolished the Democrat’s Lies About the GOP Tax Plan Posted at 11:30 am on November 2, 2017 by Brandon Morse When you’ve lost the Washington Post, you know you’ve strayed too far into the ridiculous. The magazine that touts the phrase “democracy dies in darkness” but suggests the NRA is a Russian stooge advocating violence, can sometimes be known to be a little too leftist for its own good. However, the rag does have its brighter moments and exhibited one in defense of the GOP tax plan. Democrats have been throwing around claims about the tax plan that would increase the average tax on families nationwide earning up to $86,100 by $794.00. In fact, in a series of tweets from various Democratic leaders like Kamala Harris and Jeff Merkley, the Washington Post begins by pointing out their claims which all read similarly, and all making the exact same claim. WaPo says they traced the claim back to a document put out by the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC), which is essentially the communications arm of Senate Democrats. The document laid out the very statistic that Democrats kept repeating about the dreaded tax increase (why the left is suddenly horrified by tax increases is beyond me). The $794 tax increase factoid was marked as coming from a report by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, which WaPo tracked as well. WaPo notes the difference between the report and the claim in the document, calling the claims by Democratic leaders the result of a “bad game of telephone.”: That report had this line: “If enacted, the Republican tax reform proposal would saddle 8 million households that earn up to $86,100 with an average tax increase of $794—a substantial expense for working families.” Note the difference. The original report referred to 8 million households receiving a $794 tax increase. Somehow, when it got communicated down the line, that nuance was lost and it was translated into a talking point referring to all working-class families. But WaPo then did the unimaginable and pointed out that the Democrats are fudging numbers in order to generate a scary stat that will turn people against the GOP tax plan. WaPo pointed out that the staff “focused on the households making under $86,100 – the bottom three quintiles of taxpayers — that would face a tax increase. Weighting the tax increase by the number of people in each quintile, the staff came up with an average tax hike of $794 for the people receiving a tax increase.” But notice the funny thing about this calculation: Only a small percentage (6.5 percent) of the nearly 122 million households in the bottom three quintiles will actually face a tax increase. Meanwhile, more than 97 million (80 percent) will receive a tax cut. Doing the math the same way the JEC staff did, we come up with an average tax cut of about $450 for those 97 million households. Indeed, at the far end of the chart, you will see that every quintile on average receives a tax cut — not a tax increase. So WaPo actually reached into muck and mire of the Democrat’s attack on the GOP tax plan and pulled the truth out for all to see. It’s a tax cut for a vast majority of households, not a tax increase. WaPo fact checkers showed the Democrats their error, and the DPCC said they fixed their claim to make it more clear, however, WaPo noted that the DPCC still hasn’t pointed out that most will be getting a tax decrease, not an increase. “The inaccurate tweets remain,” writes WaPo. As a result of all the shadiness, WaPo gifted the Democrats’ claims of a massive tax hike for Americans with four Pinocchios and added this neat paragraph basically calling out the left for their lie. In their haste to condemn the GOP tax plan, Democrats have spread far and wide the false claim that families making less than $86,100 on average will face a hefty tax hike. Actually, it’s the opposite. Most families in that income range would get a tax cut. Any Democrat who spread this claim should delete their tweets and make clear they were in error. Good on WaPo for this. Keep this up and I might actually start to hardly like them.

__label__wiki	0.987744	0.987744	Missed grabbing your copy of the Real Estate Magazine today? Here’s our house of the week. It’s an absolute cracker! Hilltop stunner at 23 Fern Rd, Blackwood fit for a king 23 Fern Road, Blackwood. Supplied by Toop & Toop Real Estate. WHEN builder Geni Kreca built his dream home in the hillside suburb of Blackwood, he threw everything at it. Mr Kreca, who runs Kreca Renovations, built the 23 Fern Rd home in 2014, and set about creating a home that reflected the majesty of its picturesque surrounds. “I really wanted to capture the views — the views here are stunning — and I really wanted to create a beautiful spacious house with plenty of space so we can have lots of relatives come and stay,” Mr Kreca says. Mr Kreca says no expense was spared in the build, which had a strong focus on showcasing the finest imported materials. “All the products we have used in the home were imported from Spain — from all the timber to the tapware, we used only top quality high-end products,” Mr Kreca says. The home, set on a 1030sqm allotment, has five bedrooms. Four of these are in the main house and there is also a self-contained unit in the rear yard complete with a full bathroom, kitchen and living area. Back in the main house, the master suite has a freestanding bath in the bedroom, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite with double shower, toilet and dual vanity. The ground floor is home to a home theatre and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens out to the outdoor living area. “It’s a wonderful home,” Mr Kreca says. “You really feel like you’re living in a hotel or a resort, it offers a fantastic lifestyle.” The outdoor living area overlooks an inground swimming pool, a lawn area and a synthetic grassed area for kids to play on. “Pool parties are our favourite form of entertainment here, you can have all the kids in the pool while the adults have a glass of wine and watch over them, and then they can also play soccer on the half court tennis court nearby,” Mr Kreca says. “We love to entertain by the pool, we’ve had some really exciting times there. The enclosed barbecue area is brilliant and it all opens and closes to allow easy indoor and outdoor entertaining.” Mr Kreca says the home’s leafy location was second-to-none. “I do a lot of renovations down on the flats, as a builder, and driving up into the Hills, it just feels like you leave all the stress down in the city, it’s just so peaceful and calming up here and it’s so enjoyable to return home,” he says. Mr Kreca says the home would be ideal for a large family and could accommodate both young children through to teenagers. “It could also be great for people with international family members because we have a self-contained unit in the back which could suit older parents, or visiting friends, it’s nice to have a place to be able to offer visitors,” he says. “We put a lot of thought into this property and I’m proud of every project we do, but this one I’m particularly proud of. I built this place for us to live in.” Mr Kreca says the family has loved living in Blackwood, but are now building another home in nearby Belair.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2903

RGJ file House for sale in Wingfield Springs Nov. 18, 2013.(Photo: RGJ file photo) Up is the word, again. February brought another double-digit increase in the existing-home median sales price across Washoe County, a report Wednesday showed. The new price: $265,000, according to the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors. That's a 14 percent rise from a year earlier and follows year-over-year increases of 15 percent in January and 13 percent in December. It's also nearly double what it was at the depths of recession three years ago. The driving force that's swelling home prices: limited supply. Is the market overheating as it did in the run-up to recession? One industry observers doesn't believe so. "The lack of inventory, that's the concern," said Brian Bonnenfant, project manager at the Center for Regional Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. "It's definitely on a trajectory of steep rises. But going back to 2002, we're still underneath the annual (rate). I don't sense we're returning to where we were a decade ago." In February, 383 existing homes were sold across Washoe, a 1 percent drop from February 2014 but up 6 percent from January, according to the report based on data from the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service. Dave Hansen, RSAR president, said research shows homeowners are remaining in their homes longer, helping reduce available inventory for homebuyers and thereby driving up the median sales price. "Many would-be sellers have stayed put because they are nervous about leaving their low-interest mortgage rates," he said in a statement accompanying the report. "They also have been waiting for a spike in the value of their homes. Nationally, home values have risen 25 percent over the past three years on average, meaning pent-up sellers are in a better position to put their place on the market. Locally, we have seen a faster recovery in home values." Among the report's February findings: Reno: 254 sales of existing homes, down 5 percent from February 2014, with a median sales price of $275,000, up 16 percent from a year earlier. Sparks: 123 home sales, up 10 percent from a year earlier, with a median sales price of $255,000, up 13 percent from February 2014. Fernley: 30 home sales, up 11 percent from a year earlier, with a median sales price of $161,450, up 24 percent from February 2014.

__label__wiki	0.606829	0.606829	Risk Awards 2019: The winners BNP Paribas wins derivatives house; lifetime award for Craig Broderick; CME takes clearing house award Risk staff SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THE WINNERS’ LIST When US equity volatility surged in February, it immediately separated the market into winners and losers; a snap verdict that rested not just on how firms did on that day, but also on how they had been running their business in the weeks and months prior. It was a one-off moment that gave dealers, investors and clearing houses an opportunity to test their powers and show off their planning. The story recurs in various forms throughout this year’s Risk Awards. At JP Morgan, the head of the bank’s derivatives and quant strategy team – Marko Kolanovic – had predicted a doubling in the Vix index of S&P 500 volatility in year-ahead research published in December 2017. He warned the surge would be amplified by popular exchange-traded products that gave investors inverse exposure to the Vix; if the index rose, they would be forced to buy Vix futures, potentially driving the market higher. Just over a month later, on February 5, the index recorded a one-day jump of 115%. JP Morgan’s traders were prepared, having adopted a long-volatility bias in order to meet expected client demand – a step that enhanced the bank’s reputation for steadfast market-making. “When it comes to consistency, JP Morgan is definitely the best in all market conditions and never retrenched,” says a portfolio manager at a large European asset manager. CME Group also saw the storm coming – and made its members go out and buy umbrellas. During the third quarter of 2017, the clearing house came to a similar conclusion as JP Morgan’s Kolanovic – the high volume of short-volatility bets had given rise to a self-reinforcing effect. To insulate itself and its members from a break in that regime, CME began to build additional buffers – it increased margin rates for equity products by more than 20% from September 2017 to February 2018, hiked add-ons for concentration and stress exposures, and also bulked up its default fund by 27%. In all, the total increase in financial resources prior to the February 5 event was around $11.6 billion. Flexible Citadel Citadel Securities also gave itself more headroom prior to February’s volatility spike – not because the market-maker saw the episode coming, but because of the growing catalogue of similarly violent, intraday moves. It did so by making its limits framework more dynamic and flexible. Rather than setting and changing limits manually, on a per-business basis, the firm switched to a real-time, partly automated system at the start of 2018. The idea is to quickly reallocate unused capacity from one product or asset class to another. “These types of events are occurring more and more, and we really wanted to be prepared for the next one to make sure that we continue to have the risk budget in place and capacity to stay in the market, no matter what happens,” says Frank Krepelka, head of risk and trading operations at Citadel Securities. Other firms haven’t changed much at all, but still stood out, as the end of the volatility drought validated their business model, and left rivals floundering. One example is La Française Investment Solutions, the €12.4 billion Paris-based hedge fund, which at the end of October could boast a 3% return for its flagship alternative premia fund, at a point when Societe Generale’s index of alt-premia funds was down more than 4%. The LFIS model is to deliver returns by combining transparent strategies that have low Sharpe ratios but also little correlation between them. Other alt-premia funds have come unstuck by piling up exposure to common risk factors, including equity value. “If you stack strategies – even with a very low Sharpe, but fully uncorrelated – you can reach a Sharpe of two or higher,” says Guillaume Garchery, head of quantitative research and development with LFIS. “If you have a portfolio of strategies with an average Sharpe of 0.6 but they are 30% correlated, you can add as many as you want, but you won’t get to a Sharpe higher than one.” The big winner in this year’s awards, though, was BNP Paribas, which scooped three market-making categories. On top of that, it landed the overall award for derivatives house of the year, primarily for what is a unique combination among European banks: long-standing commitment to the markets business; investment in the US; technology and business model innovation; and a willingness to shake up the way its salespeople and traders work. All of this flows from a conviction that post-crisis prudential rules will force the bank’s pan-European stable of corporate clients to use the capital markets for their financing needs far more than in the past – a strategy that is not going to change, says Yann Gerardin, chief executive of BNP Paribas’s corporate and investment bank. “We need to know who the institutional investors are – around the world – that are going to buy the first high-yield issuance of an Italian midcap in 2025, or a German Mittelstand company in 2030. Without a strong global markets business, there is no way we will be able to help our European clients the way we did in the past,” he says. Dimitros Tsakonas, alternate director general of Greece’s Public Debt Management Agency, is also thinking long-term. After experiencing an economic cataclysm, the country ended 2016 with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 181% and more than €250 billion of bailout loans from European institutions and member states, repayable by 2060. Over the past year, the PDMA has reached agreements with its creditors to extend maturities and fix the interest rates on around €200 billion of debt, while coaxing dealers to enter into interest rate swap hedges on a further €35 billion. As a result, Greece now has cash reserves of close to €34 billion – enough to cover its interest payments for the next four years – and its debt-to-GDP forecast for 2060 has been cut by almost 50 percentage points, from 140% to 90%. Tsakanos sees this as the first step towards Greece’s economic rehabilitation. “It’s not the end of the story, it’s just the beginning,” he says. “Now, we need to very carefully design our future steps, especially as far as access to the capital markets is concerned – that’s our main target.” Mayhem and machines The winner of this year’s lifetime achievement award also knows a thing or two about surviving a crisis, and adapting to its aftermath. As Goldman Sachs’ chief risk officer in 2008, Craig Broderick helped steer the firm through the financial meltdown and position it for what came after. Broderick retired earlier this year, after 32 years at Goldman. Elsewhere, Alexei Kondratyev, head of the data analytics group at Standard Chartered, wins quant of the year for his use of machine learning techniques to optimise margin costs and build interest rate curves. As always, picking the winners was extremely difficult. Risk asked candidates to submit detailed information on their businesses, and shortlisted firms were interviewed off the record. Risk then gathered feedback from clients and other market participants. The final decisions were made by Risk’s editors and journalists, weighing a number of factors, including risk management, creativity and innovation, liquidity provision, quality of service and customer satisfaction, and engagement with regulatory issues.

__label__wiki	0.732097	0.732097	RLLMUK F1: Season Lucky 7 (Spa, 3rd December, 9.00pm) By kiroquai, September 2, 2013 in Online Meerman kiroquai RLLMUK F1 Season 7 Round 1: Abu Dhabi - November 5th - WINNER: MARMITE Round 2: Texas - November 19th - WINNER: JOYCE Round 3: Spa - December 3rd Round 4: Jerez - December 17th Round 5: India - January 7th Round 6: Suzuka - January 21st Round 7: Singapore - January 28th Round 8: Brands Hatch - February 11th Round 9: Korea - February 25th Round 10: Interlagos - March 4th Teams and Drivers: Ferrari: Marmite and Meerman Jr Ah, Ferrari. If Ferrari were a wine, they'd be a Chateau Laffite. If they were an album, they'd be Dark Side of The Moon. If they were a lawnmower, they'd be a Captain LeChuck Dragonslayer, available now from all Welsh branches of B&Q. An RLLMUK F1 grid without everyone's favourite red car amongst a selection of no other red cars wouldn't bear thinking about, and this season they mean business. There's not much you can say about Marmite that hasn't already been said. The pleasantly chipper chap from London makes every other driver want to hate him because he effortlessly manages what they often can't, and then makes them feel bad for wanting to hate him because he's so popular amongst the paddock. The combination of Marmite and Ferrari is an interesting one - a bit like a cheese and chocolate sandwich. Will it work? You'd be a brave man to bet against it. Meerman Jr Midway down the corridor at the entrance to Ferrari's Maranello factory is a small dent in the wall with a frame around it. Closer inspection reveals that this is a celebrated landmark of Meerman Snr's time at the team, and that the dent is shaped like a fist. The team obviously missed the Dutch influence so much that they hired hotshoe newcomer Meerman Jr to take over where his brother left off in what could be a potentially explosive partnership. Red Bull: Joyce and Picasso Let's face it; Red Bull are about as popular a team as Manchester United, or George Bush and Tony Blair. Once the hub of fun and entertaining press releases amongst the paddock, these days they seem to spend most of their time being smug and finding ways of rubbing the other teams up the wrong way. Will their driver combo this year tow the corporate line, or heroically rally against it and make Red Bull a likeable squad again? Joyce's matter-of-fact nature and can-do attitude won him an army of fans amongst northerners and the elderly alike last season, and his performances on track obviously caused Christian Horner to sit up and take notice at what a Joyce/Red Bull combo could do on circuit. Stirringly quick and spectacular, the only thing that can stop him from impressing further this season is if his daughter manages to jam a small toy under the throttle pedal, causing him a spectacular shunt. Picasso of Pain Sliding into the second Red Bull like a hotdog coming to rest in a greased bun, Picasso of Pain returns to Milton Keynes to a much different team from the one he raced with to much success in Season 4. 'It's like returning to an old girlfriend, except finding she's grown up and become slightly more boring' the Welsh Canadian hybrid racer is alleged to have mused over his cup of steaming cold coffee one morning recently. When not driving, Picasso enjoys building full-sized boats out of 80's fad toy Stickle Bricks and sailing them down the Thames until the plastic leaks and they sink. This hobby is rumoured to cost riverside rescue services upwards of half a million pounds a year, and greatly contribute to chemical contamination of the surrounding water. Mercedes: Kiroquai and Captain LeChuck The team with the ninja star badge underwent an amusing Season 5, in which jocular chums Rice 'Cheese It' Kingford and Mood 'Good Luck' Mon spent the entire year ripping this piss out of themselves, the car, the team, the sport and generally everything, much to their fans' unbridled joy. Both have now left for pastures new, leaving the doorway open for yet another emotional reunion and an intriguing new arrival. One of the most up-and-down drivers on the grid, Kiroquai spent Season 6 getting regularly caned by his team mates, finishing outside of the points in China after a shitfest of a drive and then ending the year with wins in the last four races he took part in. Ross Brawn, brow furrowed with a note of caution, quipped 'it depends which Kiroquai turns up for us this time - the good one or the unmotivated one. If it's the latter he can fuck off again'. This quip was later upgraded to an official comment when it was realised he'd said it sincerely. Captain LeChuck Completing what is possibly the most emotion-driven lineup on the grid, Captain LeChuck's arrival at Brackley bears seeds in his temporary trip to the factory a while back to interview his new team mate. 'I got talking to Ross Brawn' mused the Welshman 'and said I'd give him a lawnmower that would treble the efficiency of his gardener at only a fraction higher the cost of our main competitors. You just can't fuck around when it comes to your garden, you really can't'. Is rumoured to have got off on the wrong foot with Kiroquai when, asked to bring whiskey to a team meeting, he failed to realise that the Banbury lad actually wanted Bourbon and instead turned up with an Irish Malt. Awkward. Lotus: Mexos and Meerman Sr Lotus, now only the second-most hated team on the grid due to Red Bull's efforts and the disappearance of Dany Bahar from management, are under pressure this season. Why? Well, cast your minds back to Season 4. During that year they managed to piss off their two drivers - one of them cool as ice, the other as furious as a volcano being given a wedgey - with a car that was, to be frank, a proper fuckbox. The new management has done enough to convince both that things have changed, but be sure in the knowledge that if they haven't there'll be hell to pay. Mexos There's no doubting that Mexos was a rejuvinated man last season, to the point where he once ran down the pitlane to lend Captain LeChuck a spare steering wheel after the Welshman had dropped his own down the team toilet by mistake. On-track his performances were often sublime, mixing it brilliantly at Silverstone and Spa, winning in Canada and being set fair for another at Monza until his car fell into a mildly alarming black hole and vanished. If given a good car he could prove a strong challenger anywhere. Is also set to provide thousands of television viewers minutes of pleasure with his own series of cheese and jam making lessons, set to be played during safety car periods or bits where the races are a bit dull. Meerman Sr. The sky outside was grey, and the wind blew rain steadily against the window on the top floor of Meerman Sr's multi-million pound windmill. The contract from Lotus was on the table, but something was... wrong. He picked up his novelty syrup waffle phone. 'Listen Boullier, here's the deal. The money is okay. I am pleased you think my driving talents are right up there with the best. But no pre-race ham and cheese toasties? No. I will return to Holland and make a living breeding turtles, I warn you'. Thankfully Lotus chief Eric Boullier quickly agreed to the Dutchman's request, meaning one of the most enduring team mate partnerships in RLLMUK history could finally be reunited, much to the joy of fans and fellow drivers alike. Sauber: John0 and Snowman Obviously concerned that their two superb drivers were bringing too much attention to their bright white car in Season 5, Safe Ol' Sauber decided to paint their car like a 2010 HRT this year in order to try to blend in with everything again. Sadly they then went and undid all of their mundane work by signing the same two superb drivers, who return to the team arguably even better than when they left. Make no mistake, this team has potential written all over it. Or it would have if the team hadn't lost the fucking stickers. JohnO Winner of two Season 6 races, John0's signing for Sauber was in doubt up until the last minute after it transpired that his Japanese television reality show 'Being JohnO' had become so fervently popular amongst the youth of today that he was legally obliged to remain in the country for the next thirty years on an endless haircut modelling tour. Thankfully sense and a lot of money soon prevailed, and with the roaringly polite support of the land of the rising sun propelling him towards Switzerland he heads into this season as a real threat for wins and podiums. Offering competition to his team mate that's sure to be stiffer than a 3-day old slice of pizza you've just found round the back of the sofa, Snowman took his much-deserved first win last season at Hockenheim among several impressive drives. Never one for the glamour and fame of an RLLMUK F1 driver lifestyle, he is also rumoured to run a pub in Berkshire, a newsagent in Northamptonshire and a small fishmongers in the charming village of Stockton-on-Tees, always turning up at the last possible moment, doing a superb job and then mysteriously melting away again until his next shift is due. McLaren: Myoozikk and APKing Last seen dominating Season 5 in a manner that convinced the powers-that-be that sweeping rule changes were needed for Season 6, McLaren have reacted to the loss of their two drivers by doing the only thing they could do: resurrecting one of the greatest partnerships RLLMUK F1 has ever known. Martin Whitmarsh, in a rare moment of competence, uttered 'this could be very optimal indeed. Very fucking optimal indeed'. Myoozikk You only had to look at the jealous glances that Myoozikk gave the McLaren drivers from his Lotus on every grid in Season 5 to know that his heart was still at the team he took to two RLLMUK F1 championships, and you can only imagine his excitement at his return to his spiritual home. 'You can't even imagine my excitement at this' was his rumoured comment when asked, before he locked himself in his studio to mix an epic and emotional 6-hour motivation loop set to prepare him for the season that lies ahead. APKing Whisper it quietly, but Meerman's position as King Pimp of Dutch motorsport is under serious threat this season. Not only does he have his brother to battle in a Ferrari, but also his uncle in a McLaren too. Albert has shown some epic signs of improvement recently and it is now no longer a surprise to seem him challenging for serious points, so expect him to continue this upward trend in his quest to troll the living shit out of his nephew. Force India: Rice Kingford and Moodmon An official press release from the Force India team has been released on the news of their new driver lineup. It reads as follows: 'Sahara Force India are proud to TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL'. Rice Kingford Kingford, who is believed to have invented the spoon, the colour yellow and the sense of smell amongst many things, heads into this season after a dynamic run last year when he just succeeded in beating his rival Moodmon to the Maximum Gary title. A keen fisherman and bass guitarist in his spare time and with a complete set of 1990 Pro Set football cards amongst his most treasured possessions, his fragile relationship with his team mate can only get better after they agreed to swap their respective Turtwig and Chimchar Pokemon in a symbolic display of mutual admiration. Moodmon Moodmon, who is believed to have invented the fork, the colour green and the sense of hearing amongst many things, heads into this season after a dramatic run last year when he just failed to beat his rival Kingford to the Maximum Gary title. A keen deer hunter and bassoon player in his spare time and with an incomplete set of 1990 Topps baseball cards amongst his most hated possessions, his rock solid relationship with his team mate can only get worse after they disagreed about swapping their respective Chimchar and Turtwig Pokemon in a shambolic display of mutual loathing. Williams: MSP Mike and f. grimes No-one quite knows what to make of Williams. Blazingly fast with the epic super squad of Marmite and John in Season 4, they then produced an awful car that hampered Harns and Meerman's efforts for the entire following season. They have, however, pulled off somewhat of a coup with their driving lineup this year, meaning Claire Williams could have reason to wipe the bulldog growl off her face on many occasions. We can only hope. MSP Mike The legend. The man himself. The one they call 'the one they call Mike'. Let's put this right here: Mike is fucking quick. Like, seriously - quicker than Maximum Gary running for food quick. Capable of taking the fight to the very quickest on any given day, it'd be no surprise at all to see Mike going Faster to get Further Away from the metaphorical Ocean Spray of battling cars behind, even after telling McLaren that 'Your Love Alone Is Not Enough' and leaving at the end of his triumphant championship winning year in Season 5. f. grimes Back on the grid after a spell of employment as a session freestyle rap artist for Bruno Mars, the new, lean mean and down with the kids f. grimes is ready to carry on his celebrated career behind the wheel and will look to pick up more well-earned points this season. 'I tell you what holmes' he said somewhat unexpectedly, 'my driving's bitchin', I've got mad skills in the kitchen'. No-one dared tell him that none of it actually made sense. sixbuttons I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SORT OF RACING CHAMPIONSHIP. WHO'S WITH ME I think i should win & drive a silver car... BUT WHICH ONE?? Holy shit, what an obscure car to use as a troll! Even I'd have been proud of that! Serious suggestions only please. So here's a list of my main points I am looking into myself for this - obviously lots depends on the game, but key points for me! If we do go for car swapping and 2013 performance, tighten things up so cars are swapped more often to stop things like Marmite getting a car that handles like Meerman after a pint of Heineken for each race. Balance the teams out so we have a properly competitive constructor's championship Decide whether to do a short season (November through February) or have a long one that runs for all F1 2013's lifespan but with a few decent breaks. Probably the former tbh. Think about potentially using Classic circuits (the ones that are freebies so we all have them) into the championship somehow. Consider having a few race nights that, rather than one 50% race, contain two 25% races with perhaps one-shot qualifying. Think about how to broach the subject that we should probably still race at places like Singapore and South Korea, despite them not being so popular (we've not raced them since Season 4, and didn't go to them in F1 2012). Perhaps ideal 25%ers if we can get a format that works! Consider the possibility of having Maximum Gary himself pick the teams by snaffling bits of paper out of a hat. Decide who to approach to run Season 8 Yeah, the former sounds good to me. Fatigue always seem to creep in over the course of a longer season. I'd be up for that, especially if it's the solution required to deal with this... ...because I personally love Singapore, South Korea, Abu Dhabi etc. I think it'd be a great shame if they were ignored entirely. Yeah I really like Singapore and Abu too. I would prefer staying in one car throughout a season. I.e same team mate and a form of constructors championship. Singapore and Abu Dhabi were awesome on '11. Couldn't deal with the kerbs on '12. Not fun. Like I said in the other thread just to reconfirm it here, I love the idea of doing 2x25%ers to get the whole calendar in on the less loved tracks, but I would suggest those races are given half-points so that those who can't turn up won't be doubly punished by missing two races. One shot quali isn't an issue to keep things sped up here either since we can just turn parc ferme off for the race and accept you have to have a Codemasters authorized setup for qualification itself. You know, unless you can select your own setup in one shot now. If we do go for car swapping and 2013 performance, tighten things up so cars are swapped more often to stop things like Marmite getting a car that handles like Meerman after a pint of Heineken for each race 2014 needs a car creator so we can make a car shaped like a bollard for Meerman. So we would do two different tracks in one night? Not sure im up for that, think a single 50% is the way to go. It would be nice to do a 100% at some point with a full grid too. Tough to get everyone to commit I know, but I like the idea of a really long race that has proper strategy plays and tyre management. Lets see how the new game works out. Perhaps a 100% day night cycle Abu Dhabi to celebrate 100 RLLMUK F1 races? I know it's not very original but if we were to do a 100% event then I'd find it hard to look beyond Spa as the ideal venue. The long lap means that we would have less of them, so avoids potential monotony. It's also one of the few tracks in 2012 where there aren't really any insta-spin kerbs (hopefully 2013 will be the same). Finally, assuming weather is working properly again, it could throw up an extremely eventful race and ensure that anyone falling back early on has hope that a clever strategy call could elevate them right back in to the mix. Quite like the fact that this game is released the week I'm back from honeymoon - something to look forward to that weekend Spa could be an excellent choice. The one I thought of as an alternative is Suzuka. It's another track similar to Spa that doesn't have horrible kerbs, it's a really quick circuit, and we have the luxury of slotting it in anywhere we want as we've not done it for a long time and the real Japanese GP happens before we start the season . The 100th race is technically due to be Brazil (again) if we follow the calendar, but I was thinking of subbing Brazil out until later in the season as we will have just done it for the last race of the current season. The nice thing about Spa, of course, is that it's where the whole thing started all those years ago... then again, Suzuka was the race after that! You find Suzuka boring and tiresome? I think he finds Suzuka boring and tiresome. However Abu Dhabi is a good choice! I reckon we should do Spa then - no-one dislikes Spa (unless they're plain wrong). Agree with Kiro on Spa and Suzuka. Both have sweeping slopes, both have really nice flow to them, and every single corner is interesting on both tracks. Would be up for a 100% one day as long as it doesn't finish too late, if it's on a week night. Yeah, we'd need to think about that. Perhaps as it won't be following the calendar for it then we could possibly make it a weekend race for convenience. A Sunday early evening would probably be a good time. Not that i'll probably be here for it (away for 3 weeks from the 20th) I don't like Spa But I'll drive it anyway because I MAN UP. It's just not an enjoyable drive for me. One of those tracks I simply cannot hook up and given what it is, that is highly frustrating. Mind you, I feel the same about Suzuka I MAN UP. You truly are a hero from a bygone age Rice.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2921

This find is very timely as English Heritage volunteers are reconstructing a Bronze Age Roundhouse at Beeston Castle, based on previous archaeological finds from the site and which include evidence of metal-working. The find is also of particular interest since volunteers are making use of authentic replica axes in their project, and they were thrilled to be able to handle an original Bronze Age Axe Head, thought to be over 4000 years old. Regrettably, there is no way of proving that the Axe Head was actually made at Beeston, but it is most likely the Copper in the Bronze came from Alderley Edge or a mine in North Wales and the Tin would have come from Cornwall. However, it is thought that it could link to some early Bronze Age burials discovered under the crag at Beeston Castle. Particular thanks to The Bolesworth Estate who has kindly agreed that this find can go on display in Tattenhall's 'Cabinet of Curiosities' which is housed in the Barbour Institute.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2925

Seven men and seven women were named to the Honorable Mention list. Santa Clara and Portland topped both lists with their nominations. Santa Clara had a second-best tally of eight on the men's side to Portland's nine. On the women's side, the Broncos also collected a second-best total of eight to Portland's 11. Germany, a senior, carries a 3.75 GPA in Biology. Holeman, a sophomore, carries a 3.94 GPA in Computer Science/Engineering. At the conclusion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each WCC-sponsored sport. To be considered in the sport of women's cross country, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, be a significant contributor to her team and participate in at least 50 percent of all contests, and have at least sophomore athletic and academic standing with at least one year in residence at the nominating institution. Bronco women named to the Honorable Mention list include the following: Kayla Germany (SCU), Audrey Hiatt (SCU), Mary Kriege (SCU), Allison Maio (SCU), Amia Nash (SCU), Emily Robinson (SCU) and Allie Sibole (SCU). Bronco men named to the Honorable Mention list include the following: Sean Roe (SCU), Luca Signore (SCU), Leland Wong (SCU), Bryan Crook (SCU), Benjamin Demaree (SCU), Anthony Ferrari (SCU) and Ryan Greenough (SCU). After the Spring 2013 quarter, the women's cross country had the highest cumulative GPA at 3.478. The men's cross country team led the men's teams with a 3.386 GPA during the Spring 2013 quarter. It was the seventh straight quarter they have led the men's side. They also had the top cumulative GPA at 3.319. Led by Summa Cum Laude graduate Kevin Oliver's selection to the national individual Academic Award list, the Bronco track programs were honored among all Division I teams in July as the Bronco men posted the second-highest GPA nation-wide at 3.506 when they were named as a 2013 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's (USTFCCCA) All-Academic team. Posting a 3.57 grade point average, the sixth-best nationally and tops in the West Coast Conference, Santa Clara's women's track team was named an All-Academic team as well. Oliver was just the second Bronco in school history to receive USTFCCA Academic individual honors. Oliver finished his senior year with a 3.98 in Political Science and Economics. With Santa Clara cross country/track receiving the honor for the fourth time in seven years, Oliver was named to the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-American Second Team in late June. He was the only student-athlete from the West Coast Conference selected for the national academic honor and the only male in the state of California named to the team. At the conclusion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each WCC-sponsored sport. To be considered in the sport of men's cross country, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, be a significant contributor to his team and participate in at least 50 percent of all contests, and have at least sophomore athletic and academic standing with at least one year in residence at the nominating institution.

Polymer Chemistry publishes: Comments and Replies Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel that publication of their work as a communication is justified. The recommended length is three printed journal pages. Full papers in Polymer Chemistry contain original scientific work that has not been published previously. Please note that the Royal Society of Chemistry strongly discourages the fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications. There is no page limit for full paper articles. The purpose of a Review is to bring the reader up to date with research in a particular field. Since the readership of Polymer Chemistry is wide ranging, it is essential that the Review is easily comprehensible to a non-specialist in the field. Authors are encouraged to identify areas in the field where further developments are imminent or of urgent need, and any areas (such as techniques) that may be of significance to the polymer chemistry community in general. Please note that Reviews in Polymer Chemistry may NOT contain any original research. Minireviews are highlights or summaries of research in an emerging area in polymer chemistry (typically from the last two-three years). Minireviews are not intended to be comprehensive overviews, rather they are meant to highlight recent and important developments in that specific subject area. Minireviews should not contain any unpublished original research and should set the topic in the context of the relevant literature. A small amount of speculation of possible future developments may also be appropriate in the conclusions section. The recommended length of a Polymer Chemistry Minireview is three printed journal pages. Comments and Replies are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions between authors and readers concerning material published in Polymer Chemistry. Perspectives are invited contributions offering the personal viewpoint of leading scientists in their area of research. They present a state-of-the-art account of an area of current interest with an emphasis on future challenges and opportunities. Perspectives should be comprehensible to a broad scientific audience. There are no strict length requirements, but as a general guide Perspectives should be typically between 6 - 20 pages in length. Perspectives should not contain any unpublished research. Characterisation guidelines In addition to the general guidelines, authors are asked to provide the following data for the characterisation of polymers: For all soluble polymers an estimation of molecular weight must be provided by a suitable method - for example, size exclusion chromatography, including details of columns, eluents and calibration standards, intrinsic viscosity, MALDI TOF, etc. For insoluble and crosslinked polymers, elemental analysis (within ±0.4% of the calculated value) is required to confirm sample purity and composition. For optoelectronic compounds, UV-visible data should be reported. Important physical properties, such as Tg and Tm, should be included where appropriate. Spectroscopic For all soluble polymers full NMR characterisation (1H,13C) in support of the assigned structure, including relevant 2D NMR and related experiments (that is, NOE, etc) is required. Authors are encouraged to provide copies of these spectra in the electronic supplementary information (ESI). For all polymers Infrared spectra that support functional group modifications, including other diagnostic assignments should be included. For information on the IUPAC recommendations for polymer nomenclature please see A Brief Guide to Polymer Nomenclature (PDF). Journal guidelines There are no specific requirements regarding formatting of submissions; we recommend using the Royal Society of Chemistry template but this is not a requirement for submission.

__label__cc	0.676038	0.323962	Arizona liberals seek secession, new US state US, Tucson : A boy walks past the flag (AFP Photo / Mamta Popat-Pool) © AFP Liberals living in southern Arizona fed up with the overly conservative remainder of the state are seeking to secede and form their own state – America’s 51st state. A group of Democratic lawyers from the more liberal Tucson and Pima County areas have created a petition to place a statehood question on the November 2012 ballot. If enough signatures are collected voters would have chance to decide if Arizona splits in two.Their goal is for Pima County to separate from Arizona and form the state tentatively named Baja Arizona. The group must collect 48,000 signatures by July 5, 2012 to place their question on the ballot. The measure is to ask residents if they support petitioning the state legislature to officially secede. In it’s early stages, the measure will be a non-binding resolution. "We at least need to get it on the ballot, as a nonbinding resolution, to ask the people of Pima County if they want to be a part of Arizona," attorney Paul Eckerstrom, former Pima County Democratic chairman, told Reuters. "All the stars would have to align for this to happen, but it could conceivably happen by the fall of 2012.""It should have been its own state from the get-go," said attorney Hugh Holub said, who argued that the idea of Baja Arizona dates back to at least 1965. “We aren't like the folks in Maricopa [County].”While the country is more liberal than the rest of Arizona, it is not without a few Republican leaning neighborhoods."I don't think a majority of Pima County residents want to leave Arizona,” said Republican lawmaker Ted Vogt who represents approximately a fifth of the people from Pima County. The county hosts three more rural region which has becoming increasingly Republican – their voices, while small, will hold an impact.If the measure is approved by voters, activists would seek approval for the separation from the state legislature and voters in the area would have to approve a new binding measure. Following that process the US Congress would then have to formally grant Baja Arizona official statehood. If the state legislature disagreed, proponents for secession would be required to push a state-wide ballot initiative to get around the Arizona lawmakers. Examples of states splitting into two in US history are often forgotten. Kentucky and Tennessee were created by secession. The last time a state split was when West Virginia left Virginia during the US Civil War. More recent attempts have failed, such as calls to divide California, split Washington or pull Long Island out of New York. If created, the new state of Baja Arizona would not be a merely another minor US state, although it would be created from a single county. The new state would in fact be larger than Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut and New Jersey in geographic size. Its population would be greater than Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, and both North and South Dakota.

According to a recent webinar from Hortonworks and SAS, only 23 percent of businesses can integrate customer insights in real-time, and that’s an enormous missed opportunity. There’s proof that data-driven retail experiences works—look no further than Amazon. Eric Thorsen, VP of retail at Hortonworks, jokingly refers to Amazon as the “A word,” but also recognizes the speed at which Amazon has been “breaking the big boxes”—in the course of 10 years, Amazon has grown from niche player to pulling in more than double the revenue of longer-running brands like Sears and Best Buy, Recommendations are a massive component of this success. Thorsen says, “Based on what you read … anywhere from 35 percent to 60 percent of revenue comes distinctly from recommendations. When you think about that, that’s a retailer’s dream. You have someone showing up on your online property saying, ‘Hey, I’m going to buy this,’ and walking away with something else they didn’t even anticipate buying, because of that recommendation.” Item-to-item collaborative filtering changed the game for Amazon, Thorsen says, and presents an opportunity to start building that “omnichannel” experience—Amazon customers feel as though their experience is customized to them, whether that’s online, via an app, or even in one of Amazon’s pop-up retail stores. Thorsen attributes a good portion of this success to Amazon’s appeal to the Millennial generation, which is tapped into technology, community-oriented, and are swayed by word of mouth. That appeal will go a long way in the future, as Millennials will be 50 percent of the workforce by 2020, and 75 percent of the workforce by 2030. Omnichannel marketing in a digital age Data-driven omnichannel experiences are where most retailers are lacking, Mitchell says. Only 6 percent of retailers have a complete view of their customers. Given the rapid uptick in digital consumption and spending, that’s a surprisingly small number. But there are massive challenges to collecting, storing, and making sense of customer data (See: “Three Challenges for Recommendation Engines”). Thorsen says that companies now need to deal with a massive influx of unstructured data that doesn’t fit into a traditional datastore and can easily expand into storage sizes that are expensive and relatively unmanageable. Without delving too much into the details, Hortonworks and SAS are collaborating on a datastore and analytics ecosystem to enable the kinds of omnichannel experiences that are proven to be successful. Thorsen gives an example of one customer journey across an 18-month lifecycle and five distinct use cases. Each use case, he says, made enormous business impact and allowed for further expansion. The retailer started by simply logging their web visitors and tracking various activities. “They stood this use case up in about 30 days, and it gave them enough value to consider retiring some online web traffic cools,” Thorsen says. From there, they built a single view of their customer, followed by the recommendation engine, which they couldn’t do until they had the full understanding—it can be insulting to recommend an item that a customer already bought, Thorsen argues. After generating strong revenue there, they turned to optimizing their pricing based on buyer’s awareness of the competition. Finally, they could create smarter financial reporting and business intelligence reports to truly understand the value they were extracting from these data-driven use cases. Beating out the ‘Amazon effect’ with omnichannel They relate the story of another retailer that approached Hortonworks and SAS to collaborate on creating this data-driven omnichannel experience. “When they came to us, they were in the sights of Amazon,” said Dan Mitchell, director of global Retail and CPG practice at SAS. “They were very concerned about the Amazon effect.” Despite hosting more than 800 brands on a site that was receiving more than a million visits a day, the retailer recognized the need to tune and enhance the customer experience. Mitchell says that when SAS and Hortonworks engineers dug into the retailer’s systems, they found datastores that were siloed and laid out in unintuitive ways. They all collaborated to bring smarter data management techniques, with native data capabilities, to help the retailer run analytics. That enabled the retailer to customize the shopper experience for every customer—for example, pre-choosing the optimal sort order, or reconfiguring the entire site layout. Thorsen says, “Being able to customize the display based on the consumer builds that loyalty. It respects that relationship. You need to do that in an online experience or they’re going to be able to tell they’re visiting a generic website.” Mitchell agrees: “Those kinds of activities go a long way to being able to increase conversion, but probably most importantly—the customer experience first, and then the customer lifetime value will follow.” How machine learning fuels your Netflix addiction Analytics use cases: sales, marketing and ecommerce recommendation engines Real-Time ERP Reporting – Across Platforms and Nations Shyft’s Analytics Platform to Support Tetraphase’s Antibiotic Launch Aura Vision Labs Unveils AI Retail Analytics Program Medical IoT Needs Stronger Dose of Security, Survey Finds	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2931

Just can"t make up your mind? Require one thing with WOW aspect that fits in the price range? Customized silicone wristbands are the ideal remedy! These wristbands are best for fundraisers, birthday events, sport occasions or displaying support for that trigger or organization. Set up Fee/ Mold Charge- A lot of companies will charge a set up charge to your 1st order and this is a standard in the business. Nevertheless, search for a company that will waive that charge if you purchase a 2nd batch of customized bracelets. This set up fee is also frequently referred to as a "mold charge charge" that can range from $200-$500. Some businesses do not supply a mold charge fee, but alternatively will raise their costs. When putting smaller orders, it it a good idea to go with a company that has no mold charge but larger rates to conserve funds. Nonetheless, with massive orders it is generally less expensive to go with a firm that has a mold charge, since your all round price will be reduced. Rubber wristbands have boomed inside the previous 5 many years. They at first came out with inspirational phrases, and then moved on to names and other things. Some even have photographs engraved into them. Even so, for an although there was no way to get cheap wristbands. These days, thankfully enough it is effortless to get them on the web. Let"s be real for a minute. Initial, we have teens who most very likely know minor about the ailment, proactively going to purchase the bracelets and in turn are currently being exposed to a severe message. Secondly, they are speaking about the issue with their close friends about how it affects them. And lastly, simply because they are edgy, youngsters are getting them every single day and the revenue are supporting the basis"s programs. I personally feel it"s brilliant. Andre Johnson WR/Texans : There are even now a number of dominant RB"s on the board at this level, but I wouldn"t be ready to pass up an possibility to get the greatest wristband maker on a group that improves every 12 months. Johnson had an exceptional year final year and he need to have close to the identical numbers this 12 months.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and tunnel seen on Sunday, as final preparations were made for its opening on Wednesday. [Photo by Vincent Chan/ for China Daily] The 55-kilometer Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, scheduled to open for traffic on Wednesday, will provide a crucial boost to the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, analysts said. As the first road link to span the Pearl River Estuary, the bridge and tunnel will energize the regional economy and integrate cities from both sides of the estuary into one dynamic community. The Bay Area, in the Pearl River Delta, encompasses nine cities in Guangdong province plus the two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao. Last year, the total GDP of those 11 cities reached 11.7 trillion yuan ($1.69 trillion). That means 5 percent of the nation"s population contributed over 14 percent of country"s GDP in 2017. Like the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States, the strategy behind the development of the Bay Area in China was to merge the 11 cities into a world-class city cluster, able to compete on a global scale. "The HZMB is one of the most important elements of the development of the Bay Area," said Jason Ni Mengcheng, an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. Ni specializes in research into large transportation infrastructure. Powered by wristband supply.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2932

SAVE ~$6.99 $34.95$27.96 SAVE ~$6.99 12 Month Rental - $20.97 6 Month Rental - $17.48 This book provides educators with a conceptual framework to explore and develop authenticity and agency for equity. In response to growing cynicism within the field of education, Raquel Ríos argues that in order to become authentic agents of change, teachers must take a stance of mindful inquiry and examine the role of a teacher within the broader socio-political context. By utilizing the six principles of Conscientious Engagement, teachers can expand their awareness of the power of language and thought, the complex nature our professional relationships, and how we channel energy in ways that can impede or strengthen our work for equity. Full of real-world stories and input from practitioners in the field, this book helps teachers of all levels develop the skills and confidence to grapple with tough philosophical and ethical questions related to social justice and equity, such as: What is poverty consciousness and what responsibility do we owe students who come from poorer communities? How does racist ideology impact our thinking and practice in education? How can we tap into an evolutionary consciousness and collective purpose in order to transform how we advocate for equity? How can we expand our professional network for the integration of new ideas? How can teachers really make a difference that matters, a difference that extends beyond the four walls of the classroom? "In this important new book Raquel Rios demonstrates what teachers can do to further equity in the educational experiences of their students. Her ideas are practical and her analysis of the possibilities is insightful and thought provoking. For teachers who seek to make a difference this book will be a source of hope and inspiration." --Pedro A. Noguera, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education, UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies "With the forces promoting corporate school reform projecting outsized power through their big megaphones, Raquel Rios performs an essential challenge, reminding us that education is a universally recognized human right and, at its best, an enterprise geared toward enlightenment, liberation, and the full development of the human personality—mind and heart, body and spirit. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Rios urges us to expand our critical capacities as we fight for equity, justice, and an education worthy of free people." --William Ayers is a former Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago "No matter what we teach or who we teach, we will find great value in the art, the spirit, the healing nature of Teacher Agency for Equity. The practicality of Rios’ work about establishing equity and justice in schools and the community is equally admirable and useful for teachers and teachers of teachers. Rios’ insightful questions at the end of each chapter challenge the reader to internalize the abstract concepts and stories within the book and particularize those into engagement with students, parents, schools and communities. But more important is Rios’ deep understanding that the wisdom in every community and classroom comes from the experiences and the genius of those at the bottom, not the gurus at the top. This consciousness, developed from her own diverse experiences, is congruent with the core beliefs of the long struggle of humans to be free. Her words and beliefs channel those of Civil Rights icons like Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Vincent Harding, and Bob Moses." --Joan T.

By Lindsey Lanquist Getty Images/Karwai Tang We can't all be Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. But thanks to some new information, we can all eat like her—or at least, we can try to. Thanks to some serious compiling work from Delish, we now know Middleton's diet involves raw foods, homemade curries, and royal feasts. And did I mention she loves sweets, too? We might not all have access to Great Britain's finest chefs, or fully understand what a Christmas fruitcake entails. But that doesn't mean we can't channel our inner royal selves for a moment or two. Here, eight things Middleton is known to cook, eat, or serve her family. When she's aiming to lose weight, she goes high-protein and low-carb. Middleton reportedly relied on the Dukan Diet when trying to get in shape for her wedding. The program—which Jennifer Lopez and Gisele Bundchen have also reportedly given a try—focuses on increasing protein intake and decreasing carbohydrates. Lean proteins, vegetables, fruit, and whole wheat are all on the table, and Middleton's mother (another fan of the regimen) suggests calming cravings with prawns and cottage cheese. She has some go-to raw favorites, too. Middleton doesn't go full raw diet all the time, but she's been known to appreciate the trend. She loves ceviche, goji berries, gazpacho, watermelon salad, almond milk, and tabbouleh. She overcame a pregnancy-triggered food aversion with fruits and oats. When Middleton was pregnant with Prince George, she struggled with extreme morning sickness and food aversion. While she reportedly attempted to combat her nausea by undergoing food hypnotherapy, she also stuck to a diet of avocados, berries, and oatmeal. These hearty foods helped her put on weight during her pregnancy, despite her morning sickness. She's a big fan of family recipes. Middleton swears by family recipes so much that she whipped one up for the queen during her first royal family Christmas. Middleton made a batch of her grandmother's famous chutney to give Queen Elizabeth, in lieu of a purchased gift. "I was slightly worried about it," Middleton said of her decision. "But I noticed the next day that it was on the table." But she's just as apt to be adventurous and try new dishes. Lovely at-home cooking doesn't keep Middleton from exploring her options. She and husband Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, used their Canadian royal tour as an opportunity to think outside the box, food-wise. Middleton even visited a British Columbia food and wine festival and gave geoduck clams with miso mustard sauce a try! "It's really unusual," she said of the dish. "I've never seen it before." She loves cooking and hosting. Middleton enjoys preparing food for her family and sharing meals together at the kitchen table. While Prince William likes to tease her about her cooking, she's known to be quite the hostess. Her go-to dish? Curry. And the holidays always mean time for a feast. Unsurprisingly, royal family holiday celebrations are filled with delicious foods. Lunch brings shrimp or lobster salad, roasted turkey, parsnips, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. And dinner involves some sort of rib roast, turkey, or ham—plus 20 other buffet items. And—of course—she fully understands the importance of dessert. Middleton has a sweet tooth, and she's not afraid to treat those around her, either! Family gatherings often end with sticky toffee pudding or jam roly-poly (a pastry roll filled with fruit preserves). At holiday get-togethers, Christmas pudding and fruitcake are served with afternoon tea. But it doesn't have to be a big occasion for Middleton to treat her family. She's been known to serve her children various sweets at other times, too. Sounds pretty delicious to us!

What's more, you'll find rolling greenery and nature trails like no other here – as well as an abundance of coastal holiday breakaways which will really let you unwind from the norm. One of the best ways to really get into North Yorkshire is to secure your holiday home. Gallaber Park, based up in Skipton, offers some of the most attractive grounds and properties in the region. This popular holiday park, complete with touring facilities, makes for a wonderful base to come back to again and again should you visit Yorkshire on a regular basis. North Yorkshire in particular is so vast and so rich in heritage and days out that you’re going to want to come back again and again. Why pay more for inferior accommodation when you can set up home in wonderful Skipton, accompanied by miles of countryside and woodland? If you’ve never considered buying a holiday property before, Gallaber Park may be the site that changes everything for you. As a popular resort, it’s always a good idea to book a viewing in while places last. About Gallaber Park Gallaber Park, found just short of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is a holiday home community like no other. Perfect for couples, young families and older adventurers, this spectacular resort offers home from home amenities, easy access to local attractions and transport facilities, and an incredible focus on luxury design. Landscaped and arranged as its own private village community, Gallaber Park has also been built with conservation in mind. Leaving the surrounding countryside unspoilt, this community seamlessly blends into the wonderful scenery, never spoiling the North Yorkshire experience. In fact, Gallaber Park is an award-winner. It has been recognised by tourist board enjoyEngland as a five-star holiday park, making it a superb escape for holidaymakers of all ages. Despite its close links to local resorts and amenities, it is designed to offer a cosy, private experience. Certainly, if you’re keen to get back to nature, you’re going to want to take a close look at some of the properties available for sale here. This beautiful holiday park makes for the perfect base, year after year. No matter the season, you can always have the convenience of checking into your own park property before exploring the wider region. Onsite facilities are available in great supply, too. There's a convenient laundrette, children's activity zone and bowling and putting greens. For many people, heading here is something of a break in itself! However, we won't blame you if you want to get out and explore North Yorkshire at its most gorgeous. Gallaber Park, based in Skipton, was developed in a spectacular location for many reasons. Not only does it back onto the spectacular Yorkshire Dales Park, it is well-linked to town and village amenities which are just a few minutes away. The popular village of Long Preston, for example, is just five minutes from the park gates, meaning that whether you choose to drive, walk or take public transport, you are always in close proximity to public amenities and services. You may also wish to explore Skipton itself for a wider choice in shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities. The park also benefits from its own miniature wildlife trail, making the most of the wonderful woodland and countryside it’s based in. This is a fantastic little diversion for children in residence at the park, and it’ll also give wildlife lovers of all ages the chance to spy some of the local flora and fauna nearby. From birds of prey to red deer, dragonflies and frogs, there are lots to spot down the private trail. You'll be able to find connection to many local sites of interest via the A65 and A682, both of which closely intersect near the park itself. With ample parking available here, too, you'll be able to park up and head out again as you see fit. It's a hugely convenient resort for anyone looking to retreat to the beautiful wilds of North Yorkshire. Exploring The Local Area Once you're settled at Gallaber Park, it's likely you'll want to get to know the local or wider area a little better. Not only should you make a point of exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park at your leisure, but there are also a few points of heritage and interest which may appeal to you nearby. You could even take the train from Long Preston's platform to get out and see the wider region via the railway. Here are just a few sites of interest you may wish to explore when you stay at the park in future. Based at nearby Bolton Abbey, the hugely popular Hesketh Farm Park makes for a wonderful day out for all the family. It's a park which plays host to even more wild and wonderful animals, and there's always lots to explore. The farm park normally has a host of events rolling across the year, such as those which give you the opportunity to see newborn animals up close! You'll also find big events setting up here over Easter and Halloween, making it a fantastic place to visit during major calendar celebrations. The park isn’t open all of the time, though you will normally be able to come and visit on weekends – though this is always subject to change during warmer months. In any case, if you choose to holiday on the doorstep at Gallaber Park, you’ll be able to head out and take a look whenever you wish. While the woodland and greenery surrounding Gallaber Park are always worth exploring, you may want to go bigger with an adventure into Skipton Castle Woods. This huge Woodland Trust area spans over 36 acres and boasts some truly incredible nature walks and trails. It's a woodland area with plenty of history, with the Woodland Trust themselves asserting that the forestry here is positively ancient! You'll be able to spy ancient castle ramparts on your route through, and if you want to keep your eye out for more local wildlife, there is always bound to be deer frolicking in the undergrowth. You'll be able to get to the Castle Woods from the centre of Skipton itself, meaning it will only be a 20-minute to half an hour ride from Gallaber Park. One of the big draws of this woodland is that you can – according to the main website – start exploring 'straight off the high street'! Kilnsey Park Estate is a wonderful countryside retreat which you’ll find a few miles away in nearby Wharfedale. Complete with farm attractions, wild fishing, cycling routes and pony trekking events, there are lots to explore and to get into here. In fact, it makes for another fabulous family day out. It's also an ideal day out for flora and fauna explorers of all ages, with some rare plants and wildlife all making the park estate their home. It's one of the best-rated Yorkshire attractions for miles around, meaning it may well be one you'd like to check off your list the next time you visit Gallaber Park! Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway If you’d prefer to take in some of Yorkshire’s fantastic transport heritage, make a beeline for nearby Embsay and Bolton Abbey, where you’ll find a working steam railway. This railway plays host to some wonderful engines and carriages full of character. Book in for afternoon tea, or simply to explore the rolling dales beyond. There are even seasonal events which pop up here – and on some occasions, you’ll be able to enjoy fish and chips, curry and cooked breakfasts while you ride the rails. It really is a unique exploration of North Yorkshire that you can’t afford to miss out on. Learn all about the local railway and the history of steam while marvelling at the incredible countryside. Book your tickets and feel free to head back to your own holiday property at Gallaber Park at the end of the day. Why Stay at Gallaber Park? Gallaber Park is an award-winning holiday park which has been lovingly designed to offer privacy, ease of access to North Yorkshire’s best attractions, and all the amenities you'd ever want from a home away from home.

It's absolutely fantastic. They do not incorporate the assisted living with the independent living. The dementia is not incorporated with the assisted living. There's a nursing home unit that is separate from everything, a dementia unit that is separate from everything, there's a hospice unit, and doctor's office, and physical therapy on-site. It's absolutely elegant and the pricing is very reasonable. The staff is fantastic. The people that have been working there have been there for five, ten, 15, and 20 years. The ratio for clientele to resident is 1:5 or 1:10. They're on-call 24/7. There's always somebody to reach. It's a very high class unit. It overlooks the water and there is green area. They know my mother by name. They could tell me in one second where she was when I walk in the door. It's not a corporation. It's privately owned. They have people that come in and play music for them, they take them on boat rides around the lake, they go shopping, they have exercise classes, play bingo, and watch movies daily. The residents can request the movie they want to see, they have cards, nails, manicure, and hairdressing. There's something to do every five minutes. They have outdoor eating areas and her dining room overlooks the water with chandeliers. It was the best deal I could find. It's phenomenal. It was voted the best assisted and independent living area in Rhode Island for the last two years. Jul 17, 2017 \| Reviewed by Angela We toured Waterman Lake. It was lovely, the grounds were lovely, but it was very far removed. We felt like it was away from everything. The rooms were nice, but they were more nursing home rooms, and it seemed institutionalized. Jul 17, 2017 \| Reviewed by MS The Village at Waterman Lake was very nice. They named their buildings The Chalet and The Courtyard. The Chalet was the independent living for my dad. That was wonderful and would suit his needs beautifully. The Courtyard also was very nice. They had gone on a field trip somewhere when I was there. When I went into the memory care program at the Courtyard, the residents were all sitting with the staff members around a couple of tables. They were all talking and laughing, and were all engaged with each other, which was a very nice thing to see.

__label__wiki	0.924982	0.924982	Price goes the distance as Red Sox beat Orioles Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price bobbles the ball on a single by Baltimore s Jonathan Schoop during Thursday s game at Fenway Park in Boston. By Sentinel and Enterprise \| PUBLISHED: May 17, 2018 at 12:00 am \| UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 am BOSTON (AP) — David Price took a shutout into the ninth inning and held Baltimore to five hits in his first complete game this season, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Orioles 6-2 on Thursday night. J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer in the first, and Xander Bogaerts homered with two on during a four-run fifth, giving Price more than enough cushion against the struggling Orioles. Price (4-4) struck out eight and didn’t walk a batter while winning consecutive starts for the first time this season. He cruised through the first eight innings before Andrew Susac led off the ninth with a double, the first Baltimore player to reach second base in the game. Manny Machado spoiled the shutout bid with a two-out homer, but Price finished off Baltimore on Jonathan Schoop’s pop-up to center as the Red Sox improved to 4-0 against Baltimore by taking the make-up game that was rained out on Patriots’ Day. Danny Valencia had a pair of hits for the punchless Orioles, who have lost three of four and have the second-fewest wins in the American League. Valencia nearly had a double in the fifth, but got thrown out at second by left fielder Andrew Benintendi, one of several strong defensive plays that helped Price go the distance. Kevin Gausman (3-3) went 4 2-3 innings for Baltimore, allowing six runs and eight hits while striking out six and walking two. He was pulled after Bogaerts drove a high fastball out to left with two men on during Boston’s four-run fifth. The Red Sox never trailed and went up 2-0 in the first when Betts led off with a single and Martinez hit his 13th homer of the season. TRAINER’S ROOM: Orioles: Andrew Susac got the start at catcher after being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk earlier in the day. The Orioles optioned Caleb Joseph, who was hitting .182 in 24 games with Baltimore. Red Sox: Martinez left the game in the seventh with a stomach illness, the Red Sox said. … 2B Dustin Pedroia (offseason knee surgery) will resume a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtuckett. Manager Alex Cora said it was possible that Pedroia could make his season debut this month, but needs to get in some innings after just one rehab start so far. Orioles: RHP Alex Cobb (0-5, 7.06 ERA) still looking for his first win since signing with the Orioles as a free agent in the offseason. Red Sox: LHP Drew Pomeranz (1-1, 5.47) faces the Orioles for the first time this season. Pomeranz was 2-1 against Baltimore last season with an ERA of 1.96.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0080.json.gz/line2949
