The title, "L.A. Boys," was Oliver's suggestion. He came out whilst we were taking photos of Seba in OP's Angels hat. Initially, he wanted the hat back right away, but as soon as he saw how cute Seba was in it and how much fun he was having he decided to join the project. He went to his room and came back with his Dodgers cap. He said to papa, "take a picture of us and post it with 'L.A. Boys.'" So here is the post with accompanying photos. | <urn:uuid:431c5b27-c99a-4615-8005-8a0330401334> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://eshamepisodes.blogspot.com/2011/04/la-boys.html | 2017-09-26T07:08:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818695113.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926070351-20170926090351-00603.warc.gz | en | 0.997385 | 114 |
Nearly 300 coal miners have lost their jobs after BHP Billiton announced it would stop production at its Queensland Gregory open-cut mine.
The decision by the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) came after an operational review found the 33-year-old open-cut mine was no longer profitable.
Coking and thermal coal prices have been falling while high costs and a strong Australian dollar have also impacted on the mine, BHP said in a statement on Monday.
The job cuts affect 55 direct employees and 242 contractors, a BHP spokesman said.
Production will stop on October 10, when the mine will be put on a care and maintenance program, meaning it could re-open if conditions improve.
BMA's mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin were the scene of industrial action, including strikes, earlier this year over an enterprise bargaining agreement offer.
BMA Asset president Stephen Dumble said production costs for the open-cut Gregory mine currently exceed the revenue from product sales, and therefore the only option available to the company was to cease production.
"We understand that this decision will have an impact on our employees, their families and the Emerald community," he said in a statement.
"We will work closely with our workforce and look for opportunities to redeploy affected employees to other BMA operations."
The adjacent Crinum underground mine will continue to operate along with the Gregory Coal Handling Preparation Plant.
BMA would continue to review its remaining portfolio of assets to ensure that each operation can be cost competitive and profitable across the price cycle, he said.
Production also stopped at BHP Billiton's loss-making Norwich Park coal mine in central Queensland in May. | <urn:uuid:2300c26b-5e1a-45e7-b6b8-f502405b5921> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/bhp-cuts-300-jobs-qld-032619346.html | 2015-03-03T11:09:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463181.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00157-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962505 | 346 |
The WGBH Alums are a family group.
Reunions in 2000 and 2006, sparked by the inimitable Fred Barzyk, were filled with stories, hugs, and that abiding comradeship of those who were struggling to create public broadcasting in United States.
Too much time had gone by, and too many names added to the list those who left us, to not think of at least getting some of the local folk together in 2012.
Here are the photos taken by Emily Lovering of that happy band.

Bedridden hordes of the elderly, dwindling numbers of able-bodied workers, and deeply indebted governments scratching for tax revenues to pay for rising health costs, pensions and aged-care costs. Welcome to 2055, writes Fleur Anderson.
It's 2055 and an 80-year-old woman is lying in a small room in the crowded, crumbling house she and her husband bought as newly weds.
The house has been subdivided to accommodate her adult children, their spouses, teenagers and other ageing relatives. No doubt there's a pervasive smell of boiled cabbage and wet laundry.
She's cared for by her resentful grandchildren – pimply youths who are among the shrinking pool of working age people – too poor to buy their own homes so they pay rent in kind by looking after the shrivelled old landlords. These landlords – their ancient relatives – refuse to sell their family homes, their biggest financial asset, but haven't saved enough super to pay for professional care and expensive life-saving medicine.
Oh yes. And that old woman is you.
A sense of dread about the social and financial conditions of one's dotage is inevitable if you believe the 40-year projections of the government's five-yearly Intergenerational Reports. Bedridden hordes of the elderly, dwindling numbers of able-bodied workers, and deeply indebted governments scratching for tax revenues to pay for rising health costs, pensions and aged-care costs. The dystopian nightmare never ends.
And then there's the eternal question of who will care for the young – the next generation of workers – while their parents head off to work to help support both the young and the old.
Forget how the Australian government will need to make the budget survive the next 40 years, futurists say. How will you prepare for your own life in 2055?
The final Productivity Commission report into childcare – released on Friday advocating deep cuts in childcare payments to well-off families but supporting subsidises to nannies – is the entree to a larger conversation into the way Australians will live, work and die over the next 40 years. The overdue 2015 Intergenerational Report, to be released within weeks, is a high-stakes document that will set the political framework for the Abbott government which has struggled to find a compelling narrative to convince voters to lower their expectations of what governments can provide.
This week,Treasurer Joe Hockey gave a sneak peak of the 2015 Intergenerational Report which will give the ammunition for whatever short-term pain the May budget will hold.
"The Intergenerational Report will show that there will be fewer people of traditional working age as a proportion of the population in the years to come," he told the NSW Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.
Ostensibly, the document is presented as Treasury's own crystal ball-gazing but in reality, each of the three previous IGRs since 2002 has been a political document that gives the government of the day the justification it needs for its chosen policies. In 2002, Peter Costello used the report to justify a rise in co-payments for medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and the introduction of the superannuation co-contribution. In 2007, he used the report to frame pre-election policies around lifting productivity and participation. Labor's Wayne Swan used the 2010 report to introduce a phased increase in the superannuation guarantee from 9 per cent to 12 per cent.
So what for 2015? Many high-profile people, such as broadcaster Alan Jones, the government's own business adviser Tony Shepherd, the Grattan Institute's John Daley, and Federal Court judge Richard Edmonds, are pleading for a serious look at the $42 billion a year age pension and the $30 billion in superannuation tax breaks that taxpayers pay to support Australia's bloated retirement system.
Blowing the pension
Even Treasury predicts that when the superannuation system is fully mature, that is when every worker has contributed to compulsory super for the entire working lives, it will only reduce the government's age pension bill by just 6 per cent. Simon Cowan, a researcher at the Centre for Independent Studies, says even those who do have super "blow it" in 10 to 15 years before schlepping it on the age pension.
For a government on the nose with voters, it's a brave Treasurer who's prepared to upset the grey vote in the name of fiscal rectitude. Perhaps "helping" women return to work will be the more political palatable route.
"Over the next decade alone, the working population is expected to increase by 12 per cent, while the population over 65 is expected to increase by 36 per cent," Hockey says. "That is, people aged over 65 will grow three times faster than the working-age population.
The number of people in the "traditional" workforce supporting those who have left the workforce, will nearly halve over the next 40 years, Hockey says.
Could working women be the panacea for Australia in 2055? Over the past four decades, the proportion of working-age women in work has increased from only 46 per cent to 65 per cent today, compared with 78 per cent for male workforce participation. Hockey has clearly set his short-term benchmark of female workplace participation to that of Canada – which is 6 percentage points higher at 71 per cent.
More working women, the Abbott government tells us, would add $25 billion to the Australian economy. The long-term implications are myriad and complex. How can workplaces become more flexible to the needs of both mothers and fathers? How will this generation of workers support not only their children but also their ageing parents? What will be the archetypal family home as younger workers are priced out of the property market and older retirees are forced to sell their homes to pay for longer, more expensive periods of retirement?
And, most urgently, how much support should governments provide for what is essentially a private decision?
Six years ago, Canberra mother Amanda Whitley had to make a decision faced by thousands of women every year. Her second daughter – Sophia, born at just 30 weeks weighing 1.4 kilogram – suffered chronic lung disease as a result of her early entry to the world. Where a simple cold might mean a couple of sleepless nights for the parents of other babies, it could mean hospitalisation and heavy-duty drugs to deal with the threat of infection in those tiny lungs. All Whitley's plans – a stint of maternity leave after which her baby would happily settle into a traditional childcare centre – went out the window.
"Essentially, her condition meant that she would be unable to attend childcare for two years which brought my career as an executive in the Australian Public Service to a screeching halt," Whitley says.
This is the conundrum facing so many women in a variety of guises: the inability to find appropriate childcare to suit their circumstances. Since Whitley became a mother, the chidcare payments have risen from 30 per cent of out-of-pocket costs to 50 per cent and now look likely to fall to only 20 per cent for well-off families like Whitley's under the Productivity Commission's latest recommendations.
But with the federal budget expected to plunge into a deep deficit of up to 3 per cent of GDP by 2055, there's no magic pudding of endless taxpayer subsidies.
Whitley's dilemma over childcare ultimately became a minor economic gain for Australia. Unable to use traditional childcare, Whitley turned to internet blogging to connect with the wider world. It eventually evolved into a thriving local online business, HerCanberra. The business is a multi-contributor, Canberra-centric news site and Whitley has gone from public service employee to local employer with three staff and big dreams for the future.
Australia's quiet revolution
It's a small illustration of a quiet revolution happening across Australia. The confluence of technology and the destruction of traditional jobs, and in Whitley's case, a more flexible and meaningful way to work.
Dr Kristin Alford, a futurist and founder of Adelaide-firm Bridge8 which consults to governments and the private sector, describes her work as getting people to think "more efficiently" about the future. She says part of the problem is that governments look at future problems with a "past or present mindset".
Forget about the complex tax arrangements of Google and Amazon that are sapping governments' ability to collect tax. These problems will be dwarfed as technology and the economy evolves to the point where ordinary taxpayers turn their backs on the mass-market, mass-distribution model that has dominated society since the Industrial Revolution. Instead local products and services will be king.
And it's not too far in the future that ordinary households could to literally go "off the grid". Take, for example, the lightning fast advances in batteries to store solar power. In South Australia alone, it is now estimated that 50 per cent of the state is covered by residential solar power. Alford says there's a real possibility homeowners will be able to divert their own solar power reserves to neighbours and vice-versa which could make obsolete the necessity to be connected to the mainstream electricity electricity network.
It's all part of a wider trend to "shop local" that has gone beyond feel-good, inner-city hipster schitck to become a real-life health precaution. Take for example this week's Hepatitis A contamination of frozen berries packaged in China and sold in Australian supermarkets. Suddenly farmers' markets and community gardens have more appeal in a world of mass-produced food of uncertain origin.
It's called "peer-to-peer" business and it's simply an evolution of the black economy, barter system of exchange on a mass scale. And what right does the tax office have to your cash if your neighbour simply does you a favour?
"If I was the tax office I would be very worried, but for a community it's fantastic," Alford says.
It also has implications for politicians and their big-spending infrastructure plans. Gold-plated "poles and wires" electricity distribution networks can easily become expensive white elephants with an unexpected quirk of consumers' use of technology.
Alford says the economic implications of "citizen disaggregation" – consumers turning their backs on mass production – are yet to be realised. From citizen journalists blogging on current affairs, to citizen scientists contributing to global science projects, to even citizen manufacturing: using 3D printers to produce everything from spare parts in remote areas to prosthetic limbs for pets at the local vet.
Residential architecture will also change. Families living the dream on a suburban block in 2015 may find by 2055 their homes have been rebuilt into mutigenerational compounds. Connected but separate homes on the same block and occupied, where ageing grandparents, parents and adult children live together in answer to rising property prices and to provide care to the very young and very old members of the extended family.
Simon Cowan, from the Centre for Independent Studies, says the debate about the family home – which exploded over this week amid complaints wealthy people in $3 million mansions could still claim the age pension – has big implications for both government's tax revenues and households' immediate financial decisions.
"We could be looking at a generation of renters," Cowan says, and that will have an impact on the children born today, over where they live, their job mobility, their decision whether to have a family of their own and eventually how they will be cared for before they die.
With computers predicted to replace traditional jobs, ranging from accountants, lawyers and even bus drivers, Alford hopes technology will mean there'll be an evolution in the jobs that are valued by society. Instead there could be premium on the skills that "are important to being human" which can't be replicated by a robot.
"And that's creativity and empathy," Alford says. In 2055, where an automated search engine can do much of the job of an accountant or a lawyer, it may be musicians, artists, childcare workers, and palliative care nurses who will become society's best remunerated professions.
Ageing gracefully in the comfort of your own home and cosseted in the bosom of your loving extended family, or miserable, poverty-stricken and surrounded by resentful relatives waiting for you to die? The world of 2055 all depends on who you ask.
"How we get there is tricky and I'm not sure how we get there gracefully without falling into a hole first," Alford says. | <urn:uuid:f0b7e3d7-c613-43cb-bd4a-b84cce2d43b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.afr.com/news/politics/chasing-the-future-perfect-in-a-world-of-dwindling-resources-20150218-13iyvo | 2018-07-19T17:01:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591150.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180719164439-20180719184439-00143.warc.gz | en | 0.960123 | 2,571 |
There are thousands of drone videos circulating the Internet that give us amazing views lakes, rivers, buildings and more, but only one drone video has come to our attention that is this unique: A hawk attacks a done that’s invading its space and wins.
As you will see below, a man was harmlessly filming a soccer field with his drone when a hawk swoops in and uses its claws to change the direction of the drone and send it hurtling straight to the ground. You’ll have to watch the clip a few times to really grasp how amazing the video is. This hawk owns the skies.
Check the video below to see whether or not your drone could wage war against a hawk. | <urn:uuid:a84b25c9-845d-4b57-b394-b594cd17b541> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://bgr.com/2014/10/13/hawk-attacks-drone-video/ | 2018-11-15T10:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742666.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115095814-20181115121814-00463.warc.gz | en | 0.959919 | 144 |
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari was the latest Fed official to claim that “spotting bubbles is hard,” that the Fed cannot see them, and that if it could see them, it shouldn’t do anything to stop them because it had only “limited policy tools.”
Neither Kashkari nor anyone else working at the Treasury Department in 2006 could see any bubbles, not even the housing bubble although it was already beginning to deflate.
“It is really hard to spot bubbles with any confidence before they burst,” Kashkari writes, specifically naming stock prices and house prices. “Everyone can recognize a bubble after it bursts, and then many people convince themselves that they saw it on the way up.”
So here is a visual aid for Kashkari and other Fed governors. It will help them “spot” the beautiful housing bubbles in the US – because bubbles really aren’t hard to recognize before they burst, if you want to recognize them.
Since everyone called it a housing bubble after it had imploded, even Kashkari, today’s phase in the wondrous market is Housing Bubble 2, No?
The other day, Zillow reported that the national median home value in April rose 7.3% year-over-year to $198,000. It too beat the peak of Housing Bubble 1 ($196,600) set in April 2007. “It only took a decade,” Zillow said.

|Assembly of cavity panel, entrance pipe and nest box|
|Holes with pipes inserted|
|Cavity Panels added|
|Internal box, made of marine plywood|
|Entrance pipes through insulation, before brickwork|
We have described here the success of internal nest boxes in Fulbourn, which seem to be greatly preferred by Swifts to external nestboxes:
In 2013, Swifts used 66 out of 139 internal nest boxes, but only 9 out of 88 external nest boxes. The internal boxes were custom made out of marine plywood, the external boxes were Schwegler 1MF's
All of the internal boxes are placed in roof spaces (attics) above the level of any living quarters. So nice and high for the Swifts and out of the way of humans. Typically, entrances are provided through a gable end.
A 4 inch core drill was used to drill a hole through the brickwork and insulation. In these houses there was no cavity, just a thick layer of insulation inside the brickwork. A 4 inch pipe provided a route from the entrance cavity panel to the nest box.
Why is Fulbourn so successful?
70 pairs of Swifts were displaced from their old nest sites, so there was a large surplus of established birds looking for somewhere to breed. This shows that, contrary to advice sometimes given, it is well worth providing replacement nest sites, even if you cannot put them close to the old nesting places.
The difference between the internal and external nest boxes is that the entrances face in different directions - maybe it was easier for these birds, desperate to find somewhere to breed, to spot the horizontally-facing entrances of the internal boxes first.
Starlings occupied many of the Schwegler 1MF's, this could have deterred the Swifts from using these boxes.
Perhaps Swifts particularly like to have a certain distance between the entrance and the nesting place, provided by the 4 inch pipe.
There was a limited amount of attraction call playing, but in this case, it was probably a minor factor.
What might one do differently
It may be relevant to ask what one might do differently, not that it is necessary to do anything differently - as it works very well.
The inside of the pipe was roughened to give the Swifts a grip. It might be easier to use a small amount of cement mortar to give a rough flat path.
The entrance hole is placed in the centre of the box. Swifts may prefer it off centre, nearer one end.
The boxes are quite large, with a floor area 400-500mm x 140mm. 300-400mm x 175mm might be better proportioned.
The pictures, left, should be self explanatory - click any one to see enlarged versions of all of them.

Oscar de la Renta and Mrs. Clooney Reveal “The Dress”
It’s not every day that an American designer takes a Clinton or Mayor de Blasio off the cover of The New York Post, but today Oscar de la Renta gets cover honors in a scandal-free story. He’s joined by George Clooney’s new bride, Amal Alamuddin, in the first shot of the wedding gown he created for her, which was shot by Annie Leibovitz for October’s Vogue. Obviously. The shot was taken two months ago at a fitting and the gown gets praise inside by the Post‘s fashion editor Serena French, who writes it will set the new standard for the new Hollywood royalty. “Class over crass.” Inside the paper (just a buck!) take a look at Mrs. Clooney as a style icon, appearing over the weekend in dresses by Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, another Oscar, and our personal favorite, a Stella McCartney bespoke look for her civil ceremony yesterday.

Water Security Agency Warning the Public of Ice Conditions Near Rivers
Jan. 17, 2015 - The Water Security Agency is reminding the public that winter river flows can result in thin ice and create unsafe crossing conditions. Warmer temperatures are also creating some very hazardous conditions across the province.
The Water Security Agency has received a number of reports of issues with thin ice across the province. The South Saskatchewan River System in particular near the Saskatoon area is an area of concern at this time due to the current weather conditions.
Winter flows are continuing to be released from certain reservoirs across Saskatchewan and result in active flows under ice on the major systems. There are also other areas where natural flows are still occurring and also pose similar risks to the public. These flows are expected to continue throughout the winter season. =
The warmer temperatures combined with many creeks and rivers seeing higher flows than normal for this time of year from the rainfall over the summer and fall months are creating some unsafe conditions which the public would not be used to. Many streams which are normally dry by fall were still flowing at freeze up and may continue to flow through the winter.
Winter stream flow is an extremely serious thin ice hazard. Any person on or near a lake or river should use extreme caution when crossing. It is up to the individual to ensure that ice on a river or lake is safe for crossing or winter time activities. The Ministry of Environment recommends the following ice thickness levels when crossing a water body:
- at least four inches thick to walk on;
- six inches to drive a snowmobile or ATV on;
- eight inches for a car or light truck; and
- 12 inches for a heavy truck.
The Water Security Agency was created to lead implementation of the 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan. It will improve water management capacity and service to individuals, businesses and communities across Saskatchewan. This new agency brings together, for the first time, all of the major responsibilities related to water quality and quantity.

In September 2011 the new album of ANDROID, entitled MIDNIGHT BALL has been released. In conctrast to the EAST OF EDEN CD, the second album of ANDORID contains songs with either recited texts or with lyrics.
You can buy the CD in the following places:
Periferic Records: - Stereo Kft. H-1114 Budapest, Bartók Béla út 59. tel.: +36-1-385-63-43 email@example.com, www.perifericrecords.com
Out of the nine compositions, four are longer „micromusicals”, each having a short intro song. A characteristic feature of the album is that many of the songs have a connection with literature. Midnight Ball is based on the novel Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Judas Iscariot and Pharaoh were inspired by Robert Graves’ book, King Jesus and Boleslaw Prus’ novel, Pharaoh, respectively. Matthew 26:47 contains an excerpt from the Gospel of Matthew, while I’ll Be One with God was inspired by the Book of the Dead.
ANDROID is a progressive rock (neo-prog) band. Currently we are performing live as a quintett, often with guest musicians, playing songs from our four CDs we have published so far. The band was originally established in 1980, but after a longer break, we are continuously playing since 2008. Our music combines elements of progressive and classic rock, folk music and even classical music. | <urn:uuid:20e75a59-3126-44ad-904c-231a5b970d17> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://androidgroup.hu/en/midnight-ball | 2023-05-28T10:46:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643663.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528083025-20230528113025-00330.warc.gz | en | 0.946152 | 333 |
Let's bust some houseplant care myths!
Misting is a cure for low humidity
While misting is often recommended as a way to increase humidity for houseplants, it only actually increases the humidity for about 5 minutes, which isn’t even long enough for the stomata to fully open and enjoy the effects.
If your plants are struggling with low humidity, misting simply isn’t a fix (clustering lots of plants, humidity trays, and a good humidifier are the way to go). It can also often leave hard water stains on your leaves.
Obviously, we sell misters, so why do we think you should mist your plants if they’re not helping with humidity? Because it reminds you to interact with them! Plus, it’s a great time to clean the leaves (they’re already damp, and it prevents those hard water spots!).
Regular interaction helps you catch issues like pests early, notice any watering issues, and pay more attention to your plants’ needs in general. Just remember to use other methods to cure your houseplant’s humidity woes! | <urn:uuid:e09f8676-7758-4c8d-9b9b-9081690a47bd> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.piep.co/blogs/houseplant-university/houseplant-myths-misting-is-a-cure-for-low-humidity | 2021-10-22T19:16:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585518.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022181017-20211022211017-00208.warc.gz | en | 0.923893 | 234 |

Last Sunday Ross and Jonny travelled to Schoorl, a Dutch village in North Holland for some fast racing, tough competition and hopefully a revision of their 10km PBs. After taking victory last year in 29:30 on the 10.2km course (it was re-measured following the race), Ross’s eyes were set on retaining his title and considerably improving his time from 2016 having been assured it would be exactly 10km this year! When the boys arrived in Schoorl, a short trip from Amsterdam, they could have easily mistaken the quaint village for a skiing resort. Pine trees and snow covering everything in sight. However, unlike in the UK when snow seems to bring everything to a halt, the Dutch have it sorted and there was no need to panic, within a few hours there were clear roads and an ideal racing surface!
Once again the Schoorl 10k was hosting the Dutch national 10km road racing championships, attracting many of the top athletes in the country. It is a great course with the 1st couple of kilometres running through the streets of the village before winding up in to the forests at the back of the beaches sandunes for some very picturesque running through the snow covered countryside. The course then gradually drops back in to the centre where the athletes are cheered on over the last kilometre or so by hundreds of locals lining the streets. The race day conditions were not perfect with a 15mph coming in from the West and the temperatures close to freezing, but it was a fast well sheltered course with great competition. All which showed with the fast times achieved.
The boys took it out early on and on reaching the top of the main climb just after 3km pushed the pace on further so only 3 athletes remained in the lead group; Ross and Jonny plus the eventual winner Abdi Nageeye the Somalian born Dutch athlete (11th at the Rio Olympic Marathon). It was a sprint for the line with Ross coming home in 2nd place in a new PB of 28:46 and first sub-29min clocking, only one second behind winner Nageeye. Jonny was not far behind finishing in 28:55, his second time under 29mins and taking 3rd and final place on the podium. The boys now top the 2017 10km road rankings by well over a minute!
Jamie Van Lieshout continued on her return back to racing finishing 6th in 33:58.
Back in the UK, Andy and Eli ventured across the Pennies to race at the British Indoors Championships over 3,000m in Sheffield. Andy had a brilliant run to gain his first National Championships medal and ran another PB of 7:57.00 coming home in 2nd place behind Lee Emanuel (European Indoor Silver medalist over 3,000m in 2015) who took victory in 7:55.8.
Eli’s race ended up being very tactical early on passing the first km in 3:16. The pace then gradually picked up until a ferocious last km of 2:50 with Eilish McColgan just pipping Steph Twell on the line for 1st place. Eli finished in 4th place and was disappointed with her tactics and positioning early on that resulted in her not being in the race for the medals at the end.
Next up for these two is the Muller Birmingham Grand Prix next Saturday! Andy is now in an automatic selection position for the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia and will chase the qualifying time of 7:53.00 to hopefully book a place on the Great Britain Team. | <urn:uuid:2a9f73a8-950a-455c-939b-490c80d5557e> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://teamnbmcr.com/2017/02/15/blog-19-pbs-at-schoorl-10km-and-a-silver-medal-for-andy/ | 2018-03-24T19:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257650993.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324190917-20180324210917-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.975392 | 729 |
|Protector of the dead and embalming also god of funerals and death|
The Egyptian god Anubis (a modern rendition inspired by New Kingdom tomb paintings)
|Name in hieroglyphs||
|Major cult center||Lycopolis, Cynopolis|
|Symbol||the fetish, the flail|
|Consort||Anput, sometimes Bastet|
|Parents||Nephthys and Set or Osiris|
|Offspring||Kebechet and sometimes Ammut and Wepwawet|
Anubis (// or //; Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις) is the Greek name of a god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head. Archeologists identified the sacred animal of Anubis as an Egyptian canid, that at the time was called the golden jackal, but recent genetic testing has caused the Egyptian animals to be reclassified as the African golden wolf.
Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055 – 1650 BC), Anubis was replaced by Osiris in his role as Lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Despite being one of the most ancient and "one of the most frequently depicted and mentioned gods" in the Egyptian pantheon, Anubis played almost no role in Egyptian myths.
Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized both rebirth and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with Wepwawet (also called Upuaut), another Egyptian god portrayed with a dog's head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur. Historians assume that the two figures were eventually combined. Anubis' female counterpart is Anput. His daughter is the serpent goddess Kebechet.
"Anubis" is a Greek rendering of this god's Egyptian name. In the Old Kingdom (c. 2686 BC – c. 2181 BC), the standard way of writing his name in hieroglyphs was composed of the sound inpw followed by a "jackal" over a ḥtp sign:
A new form with the "jackal" on a tall stand appeared in the late Old Kingdom and became common thereafter:
In Egypt's Early Dynastic period (c. 3100 – c. 2686 BC), Anubis was portrayed in full animal form, with a "jackal" head and body. A "jackal" god, probably Anubis, is depicted in stone inscriptions from the reigns of Hor-Aha, Djer, and other pharaohs of the First Dynasty. Since Predynastic Egypt, when the dead were buried in shallow graves, "jackals" had been strongly associated with cemeteries because they were scavengers which uncovered human bodies and ate their flesh. In the spirit of "fighting like with like," a "jackal" was chosen to protect the dead, because "a common problem (and cause of concern) must have been the digging up of bodies, shortly after burial, by jackals and other wild dogs which lived on the margins of the cultivation."
In the Old Kingdom, Anubis was the most important god of the dead. He was replaced in that role by Osiris during the Middle Kingdom (2000–1700 BC). In the Roman era, which started in 30 BC, tomb paintings depict him holding the hand of deceased persons to guide them to Osiris.
The parentage of Anubis varied between myths, times and sources. In early mythology, he was portrayed as a son of Ra. In the Coffin Texts, which were written in the First Intermediate Period (c. 2181–2055 BC), Anubis is the son of either the cow goddess Hesat or the cat-headed Bastet. Another tradition depicted him as the son of his father Ra and mother Nephthys. The Greek Plutarch (c. 40–120 AD) stated that Anubis was the illegitimate son of Nephthys and Osiris, but that he was adopted by Osiris's wife Isis:
For when Isis found out that Osiris loved her sister and had sexual relations with her in mistaking her sister for herself, and when she saw a proof of it in the form of a garland of clover that he had left to Nephthys - she was looking for a baby, because Nephthys abandoned it at once after it had been born for fear of Seth; and when Isis found the baby helped by the dogs which with great difficulties lead her there, she raised him and he became her guard and ally by the name of Anubis.
George Hart sees this story as an "attempt to incorporate the independent deity Anubis into the Osirian pantheon." An Egyptian papyrus from the Roman period (30–380 AD) simply called Anubis the "son of Isis."
In the Ptolemaic period (350–30 BC), when Egypt became a Hellenistic kingdom ruled by Greek pharaohs, Anubis was merged with the Greek god Hermes, becoming Hermanubis. The two gods were considered similar because they both guided souls to the afterlife. The center of this cult was in uten-ha/Sa-ka/ Cynopolis, a place whose Greek name means "city of dogs." In Book XI of The Golden Ass by Apuleius, there is evidence that the worship of this god was continued in Rome through at least the 2nd century. Indeed, Hermanubis also appears in the alchemical and hermetical literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Although the Greeks and Romans typically scorned Egypt's animal-headed gods as bizarre and primitive (Anubis was mockingly called "Barker" by the Greeks), Anubis was sometimes associated with Sirius in the heavens and Cerberus and Hades in the underworld. In his dialogues, Plato often has Socrates utter oaths "by the dog" (kai me ton kuna), "by the dog of Egypt", and "by the dog, the god of the Egyptians", both for emphasis and to appeal to Anubis as an arbiter of truth in the underworld.
Protector of tombs
In contrast to real wolves, Anubis was a protector of graves and cemeteries. Several epithets attached to his name in Egyptian texts and inscriptions referred to that role. Khenty-imentiu, which means "foremost of the westerners" and later became the name of a different wolf god, alluded to his protecting function because the dead were usually buried on the west bank of the Nile. He took other names in connection with his funerary role, such as "He who is upon his mountain" (tepy-dju-ef) – keeping guard over tombs from above – and "Lord of the sacred land" (neb-ta-djeser), which designates him as a god of the desert necropolis.
Most ancient tombs had prayers to Anubis carved on them.
As "He who is in the place of embalming" (imy-ut), Anubis was associated with mummification. He was also called "He who presides over the god's pavilion" (khanty-she-netjer), in which "pavilion" could be refer either to the place where embalming was carried out, or the pharaoh's burial chamber.
In the Osiris myth, Anubis helped Isis to embalm Osiris. Indeed, when the Osiris myth emerged, it was said that after Osiris had been killed by Set, Osiris's organs were given to Anubis as a gift. With this connection, Anubis became the patron god of embalmers; during the rites of mummification, illustrations from the Book of the Dead often show a wolf-mask-wearing priest supporting the upright mummy.
Guide of souls
By the late pharaonic era (664–332 BC), Anubis was often depicted as guiding individuals across the threshold from the world of the living to the afterlife. Though a similar role was sometimes performed by the cow-headed Hathor, Anubis was more commonly chosen to fulfill that function. Greek writers from the Roman period of Egyptian history designated that role as that of "psychopomp", a Greek term meaning "guide of souls" that they used to refer to their own god Hermes, who also played that role in Greek religion. Funerary art from that period represents Anubis guiding either men or women dressed in Greek clothes into the presence of Osiris, who by then had long replaced Anubis as ruler of the underworld.
Weighing of the heart
One of the roles of Anubis was as the "Guardian of the Scales." The critical scene depicting the weighing of the heart, in the Book of the Dead, shows Anubis performing a measurement that determined whether the person was worthy of entering the realm of the dead (the underworld, known as Duat). By weighing the heart of a deceased person against Ma'at (or "truth"), who was often represented as an ostrich feather, Anubis dictated the fate of souls. Souls heavier than a feather would be devoured by Ammit, and souls lighter than a feather would ascend to a heavenly existence.
Portrayal in art
Anubis was one of the most frequently represented gods in ancient Egyptian art. In the early dynastic period, he was depicted in animal form, as a black wolf. Anubis's distinctive black color did not represent the coat of real wolves, but it had several symbolic meanings. First it represented "the discolouration of the corpse after its treatment with natron and the smearing of the wrappings with a resinous substance during mummification". Being the color of the fertile silt of the River Nile, to Egyptians black also symbolized fertility and the possibility of rebirth in the afterlife.
In funerary contexts, Anubis is shown either attending to a deceased person's mummy or sitting atop a tomb protecting it. New Kingdom tomb-seals also depict Anubis sitting atop the nine bows that symbolize his domination over the enemies of Egypt.

- The canine referred to as the Egyptian jackal in older texts was recently biologically reclassified as a separate canid species more closely related to grey wolves and coyotes than golden jackals. Furthermore ancient Greek texts about Anubis constantly refer to the deity as having a dog's head, not jackal or wolf, and there is still uncertainty as to what canid represents Anubis. Therefore the Name and History section uses the names the original sources used but in quotation marks.

TOYOTA HONORED BY INDUSTRYWEEK MAGAZINE'S NORTH AMERICAN BEST PLANTS COMPETITION
January 12th, 2012 - Toyota, the manufacturer of the number one selling lift truck in North America, today announced its Columbus, Ind., manufacturing plant, Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg., Inc. (TIEM), has been selected by IndustryWeek Magazine as one of the 10 Best Plants in North America. The competition is part of IndustryWeek’s annual search for North America’s manufacturing excellence.

The snooker season is well under way, with Kyren Wilson clinching the prestigious Paul Hunter Classic earlier this month.
But the game’s most famous name is yet to make a competitive appearance.
With the Shanghai Masters set to begin in just over a week, Ronnie has his eyes set on defending his title.
“Here’s a few shots I’ve played – couple of decent ones in there”Ronnie O'Sullivan
And, just days away from making his return to competitive snooker, the 42-year-old has caused a sensation among fans of the baize.
Taking to Instagram, the maverick cue artist wrote: “I defend my Shanghai Masters title in my first tournament of the new season in just over a week.
“Here’s a few shots I’ve played – couple of decent ones in there.”
In the clip, he can be seen playing a selection of magnificent snooker shots – with everything from long pots to exquisite swerve trick-shots.
It was posted last night and has already clocked up over 50,000 views.
And fans have been quick to share their admiration.
“This man is a genius,” one wrote.
“So ridiculously talented it’s beyond belief – the best ever in my opinion,” another added.
While a third simply wrote: “He’s the King of snooker.”
It comes after footage of Ronnie playing “the best shot ever” emerged as he set up a maximum break.
And before that, Ronnie’s “greatest ever 147” went viral online. | <urn:uuid:d36cdb12-7e62-45c4-b716-a50d9f01d85d> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/other-sports/726773/Ronnie-OSullivan-King-snooker-incredible-shots-Shanghai-Masters-video | 2019-01-24T11:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547584520525.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20190124100934-20190124122934-00617.warc.gz | en | 0.953239 | 357 |
Monadnock Launches New Wet Label Protection Product Using EarthCoating
Monadnock's Envi Enhanced Barrier (EB) Label with EarthCoating is an enhanced offering for beer and wine brands.
Monadnock Paper Mills, a provider of high-performance specialty papers for the technical, packaging and printing markets, has released its Envi Enhanced Barrier (EB) Label with EarthCoating. The product is available in a 100% post-consumer-waste fiber, bright white, smooth stock and a virgin fiber, bright white, vellum stock. These drop-in replacements for BOPP (Bi-Oriented Polypropylene) film laminated labels offer improved aesthetics, performance and sustainability for products that are subject to high-moisture conditions, such as white wines and craft beers. Monadnock entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Smart Planet Technologies for use of its extruded EarthCoating technology for adhesive beverage labels in North America in December 2014.
“We have expanded our Envi EB)label line offering beverage brands the option of tactile vellum virgin fiber or smooth 100% recycled fiber,” says Tim Boyd, market segment manager at Monadnock. “Both of these high-performance Envi Label Stocks will retain their beauty, integrity and brightness during the converting and bottling process and after hours immersed in an ice bucket.”
With this coating, the high performance labels contain less plastic and adhesive while offering improved opacity, brightness and wet-strength when compared to traditional BOPP film laminated labels.
“Customers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, so the ability for brands to offer labels with less plastic holds enormous appeal,” adds Richard Verney, chairman and CEO of Monadnock. “This innovation aligns well with our plastic-replacement strategy and complements our Envi Portfolio of substrates, which provides brands with sustainable options that do not require a compromise in performance or aesthetics.”

There's a fine line between artfully wispy and plain ol' messy hair. Rashida Jones got it right and you can too! First, style your hair as usual, then after rubbing a product like Aveda Control Paste between your fingers to activate it, twirl random pieces of hair using those fingers. The paste helps meld the sections together at the ends creating a pretty, piecey look.

Tool Receive Praise From Members of Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Gojira + More
Tool are one of the most critically praised and fan-worshipped bands in the world. The experimental quartet are musically complex, influential and incredibly original with both their music and videos. To celebrate the band (and probably to encourage them to finish their fifth studio album), some of today’s finest musicians, such as Tom Morello and Rob Trujillo, have praised the Los Angeles manipulators of sound.
In an Artist Direct original column, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello recalls witnessing Tool’s very first show “There was a band called Green Jello, who later changed its name to Green Jelly, and Danny Carey was the drummer,” tells Morello. “Maynard sometimes worked with them and lived in this loft where a lot of musicians lived in Los Angeles. Tool actually had their first show in that loft! A couple of the other guys from Rage Against the Machine were at the gig too, when we had just started writing songs. Maynard had been my roommate for a while, and I had grown up with Adam. I’ll be frank. We did not have the highest expectations for what was going to occur at that loft gig and we went kind of as “friend rock” [Laughs]. They were devastatingly awesome from the very first show though. There’s no other way to say it. They were just awesome. It was unbelievable.”
Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo is a huge Tool fan, and so does his son. “My little boy loves Tool!,” states Trujillo. “When I take him to school, we’re playing Tool all the time, so I definitely connect with them. There’s a lot of bass in that group, which is nice. They’re a great band for a bass player to listen to. So believe it or not, my son and I are going through a big Tool phase! It includes every record too.”
Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier credits Tool for creating his favorite album and getting him addicted to it in his sleep! “‘10,000 Days’ is my favorite record, raves the frontman. “The first time I heard it, I didn’t get it. I forced myself to listen to it two times in a row. Then, I fell asleep with the album repeating, and I spent the whole night with the album in my ears. Maybe that’s why I got addicted! I heard it six or seven times in one night. It got to my brain very deeply. Now, I’m addicted [Laughs].” | <urn:uuid:3371c9ed-f0e1-4aca-b344-ae150e130143> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://loudwire.com/tool-praised-by-metallica-gojira-rage-against-the-machine-more/ | 2016-07-28T11:35:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257828010.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071028-00227-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983541 | 576 |

Ohio High School Athletic Association Commissioner Dan Ross on Monday painted a dire picture of state overreach into high school athletics.
Ross highlighted the new state law that allows home-schooled athletes to participate in sports at the local public school and permits athletes from small non-public schools to participate in a sport not offered at their school at the local public school.
"We've had people calling us saying, 'What did you do?'" Ross said after the first of four statewide rules update meetings. "It's not us, it's state law." ... | <urn:uuid:b33a0918-6be8-4ae1-a87c-6768acd4af7f> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | https://www.newarkadvocate.com/article/B7/20130805/HSSPORTS/308050030/ | 2015-07-02T01:17:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095346.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00282-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96752 | 116 |
Occasionally, upon learning that I spent a decade at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids (earning my BA and MDiv), people ask me if I know Rob Bell. That's a hard question to answer. I mean, there was never a time when we got together twice a week to play badminton or anything and if someone were to point me out and ask, "Do you know that guy," I'd guess that Rob would say, "Yeah, he looks familiar," but could not produce my name.
All the same, I can't just answer no either. In a sense, everyone knew Rob. He was the "it guy" for college ministry, on staff at Calvary Church right across the street, and spoke in chapel regularly. And not only have I heard him preach many excellent sermons (most at the Saturday Night services at Calvary), but I've had conversations with the guy and even been to his house a couple times. Not because we were good buddies, but because he invited me over to help me out. You see, any conversation about Rob Bell, his theology, his books, etc. needs to acknowledge a plain fact from the outset: Rob Bell is one of the nicest people alive. There, I said it.
When I was in college I was, of course, in a band. So was Rob. The difference: his band (Big Fil) was super-tight, super-popular, and in great demand. As such, my roommate/bandmate and I asked Rob if he had any advice for us--how we could get more gigs, have a better sound, connect with our audience more effectively, etc. Now, he hadn't yet achieved anything near the rockstar preacher status that he now enjoys, but Bell was already very well-known (especially among the approx. 15 million college-aged Christian kids in Grand Rapids) and incredibly busy. We expected him to kind of blow us off, maybe e-mail a couple of general guidelines for rock performance, pass on a couple phone numbers or contact names.
Instead, he asked for a copy of our CD, which he listened to in its entirety (71 minutes of often rather rough material) and took notes on each song and each musician. He shared these notes with us one afternoon when he invited us to his house. Despite being a mega-church's golden boy, Rob didn't think of himself as better than anyone and I'm convinced that he still doesn't (although each successive magazine cover probably makes it harder to stay grounded).
Note: Back then, Rob's theology was as orthodox as it gets. He had clever and innovative ways of communicating biblical doctrines, but the doctrines themselves were anything but innovative. In other words, this was before the legendary reading of McLaren's sloppy book and subsequent "conversion" to emergentism.
Rob gave us some valuable feedback and advice about what to perform, how to get the gig, how to keep people engaged, how to build credibility and then share the Gospel in a way that doesn't seem contrived. One piece of advice about which he was particularly adamant was that, while he liked the song, we should not perform "Typical Baptist" anywhere that non-Christians may hear it. The song was an indictment of the uptight lack of passion for praising God or reaching the lost that we saw in many Baptist churches in and around G-Rap. Sure, it was clever, Rob said, but we don't want the world to see us taking shots at each other. It will just reinforce the notion that Christians are divisive, spiteful hypocrites. Better to save that song for very churchy crowds. It was good advice and we took it.
Fast-forward almost a decade to March 2005. Rob Bell releases his 9th "Nooma" video, a dollar-per-minute, quick-cut, abridged sermon called "Bullhorn." In it, we hear the story of a street preacher who stands in front of Van Andel Arena before a concert, proclaiming Law and Gospel through a bullhorn (using words like--gasp--"sin" and "hell") and handing out tracts of his own design.
Rob says he wants to "take a minute to talk to Bullhorn Guy." As we watch the man photocopy, fold, park, and make his way down to the street to do what only 1 in a 1000 Christians would actually have the sand to do, Bell says, "Bullhorn guy, I don't think it's working. I think it's actually making things worse."
The problem? No one is stopping to listen. No one is taking any of the tracts. I could go on here about how the truth of the Gospel is not bound up in whether people listen, how part of the indictment against God-rejecters is that they've heard the Gospel and yet not repented, and that the prophets and apostles did almost exactly what Bullhorn Guy was doing...but that has already been taken care of here, here, and here.
No, I want to focus on the song in the background. The song that continually drones the line, "Heaven weeps for the creepy people like you." Wait, isn't that a little nit-picky? No. Because the "discussion guide" booklet that comes with the DVD devotes a huge spread to the same sentence. Heaven weeps for the creepy people like you. The socially awkward guy who spends his evening enduring ridicule in order to preach the Gospel to the lost. The guy who goes all by himself into the belly of the beast. The guy who reads about the prophets and the apostles and thinks, "That's what I should be doing" and goes and does it. He's creepy. He makes Baby Jesus cry.
Rob said that we shouldn't play "Typical Baptist" because the world would see us picking each other apart and assume that Christians are spiteful and divisive. How does that jibe with a ten-minute mockfest directed at fundamentalist Christians--particularly those who strike us as "creepy?" How does it jibe with Bell's book Velvet Elvis dismissing confessional Christians as adherents of "brickianity" instead of Christianity?
I'm not trying to point out some hypocrisy here. People are allowed to change their minds. (Maybe Rob would tell us today that we should perform "Typical Baptist" at each and every show.) Nor do I have a huge problem with religious debate that takes place in the public square; some might see us as divisive, while others will just see that we have a passion for the Truth. I'm really not even that upset about calling the bullhorn guy creepy. He probably was.
My point is that becoming "emergent," moving off the foundation of historic biblical doctrines and instead "re-discovering Christianity as an Eastern religion" where Jesus is somehow the authority apart from his Word...all that stuff that claims to be about spiritual humility, religious tolerance, and the individual's "faith journey..." All that stuff makes people less tolerant, less humble, and more willing to not only point fingers at the silly followers of "brickianity," but call them creepy, write them off, and not even allow them to be part of the all-important "conversation." I would suggest that Rob Bell is one of the few emergent types with any real humility to speak of. He's also one of the more orthodox in his teaching. But even that is a pretty telling statement.
After all, is there anything more arrogant than the suggestion that the last 1700 years of Christianity have been one big move in the wrong direction? That doctrine, systematic theology, the authority of Scripture, the existence of hell, etc. are just human constructs? That Calvin and Luther were completely off-base in their reading of Paul, in their acceptance of penal substitution and original sin?
Doesn't seem like humility to me. But what do I know? I'm just one of those creepy people.

Applause is a musical, I believe. Apparently everyone besides me who claims the remotest interest in theater already knows everything else about it, too, but at the moment I can't find anyone who fits this description. Even The Crimson's usually omnicompetent Arts Editor professes to know only that Lauren Bacall once appeared in it and that it was one of the few questions he couldn't answer when he appeared on "It's Academic" (of course, you have to take into account that that was in Chicago). At Leverett House.
Hayfever is by Noel Coward, reputedly very funny, and usually reliable sources say it's being done well, too. "I love Noel Coward," one of them explained, "because he exposes the decadence of the middle class." Of course, you could say the same for Mussolini. 8 at Kirkland House.
Kiss Me Kate is a great Cole Porter show, about and including large chunks of a Baltimore tryout for a Broadway Taming of the Shrew, not to mention a score that culminates in "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." The Loeb's production isn't outstanding, exactly, but I guess it's acceptable. 8 at the Loeb.
The Plain Dealer is by William Wycherly, one of those Restroation comics who wrote incredibly convoluted plots and long intricate one-liners which I neither understand nor enjoy. More perceptive critics have compared it to The Misanthrope, however. At Winthrop House. | <urn:uuid:45a4d84f-a7ed-40d3-a032-ed62a0028055> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1974/4/18/the-stage-pbandorrab-is-by-max/ | 2014-07-23T08:14:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997877670.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025757-00115-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973584 | 379 |

Swedish dance company call for Australian partners for exchange project
ilDance (Sweden) is working towards a large scale international and intercultural exchange between contemporary performers and artists in Sweden and Australia. The production and concept surrounds the theme of isolation. ilDance is looking for Australian collaborators and partners to work with (artistic organisations, festivals, production teams, choreographers, freelance artists, dance companies and theatres).
The partner search is open till 17 November 2013
See website for details of how to submit information and more on the proposed project.
ilDance is an independent and international contemporary dance company and a production coordinating collective based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
ilDance was founded as a result of Israel Aloni and Lee Brummer's humble belief in the diversity of methods and ways to produce and create contemporary performing arts. They sensed that the time has come to channel their many years of experience into a new entity which would introduce new orders and patterns into the otherwise preconceived system of independent dance around the world today.

RCMP rammed a vehicle and arrested two occupants on a quiet Langley City street on Wednesday, Sept. 28, witnesses said.
The incident took place just after 11:30 a.m., when a witness said a champagne-coloured Pontiac Grand Am turn onto 52nd Avenue from 208th Street.
The Langley RCMP had just spotted the car, and were trying to pull over the driver, who was known to police, said Cpl. Holly Largy.
The driver pulled the Grand Am into a parking lot, and the RCMP tried to stop him from driving off.
“The [Grand Am] driver was having none of that,” Largy said. He tried to drive off.
The RCMP vehicle then collided with the Grand Am, hitting it in a T-bone manner. According to the witness on the scene, the caravan had its lights and sirens on before the collision.
The crash between the police minivan and the Grand Am shoved the car into two other parked cars on the street.
The witness said the first officers on the scene broke out a back window of the Grand Am with a baton and ordered the occupants out of the vehicle.
Two men were taken away in handcuffs, as multiple police officers and cruisers arrived on the scene to assist.
No one was injured.
The whole thing happened “very, very quickly,” said the witness, who asked that their name not be used.
Largy said that one of the men, a 40-year-old from Surrey, was wanted in Surrey on warrants.
The suspect may also face new charges related to Wednesday’s arrest. Langley RCMP will be putting together information on this incident and forwarding it to Crown Counsel, which decides whether charges will be laid, said Largy.
The car has been hanging around the quiet residential street, said the witness.
“We’ve definitely seen the car around,” said the witness.
The car sometimes sits and idles at night for a long time near a small, City-owned piece of property.

The following is a look at all of the teams that have a chance at being the worst in the league next season. I'll look at the win shares of the players on the team, and give the team's management a score from 1-10. A lower score means the team is planning more towards the future, while a higher score means a team wants to win now. The number next to each player's name is their win share.
I've also included a list of "potential breakout players," by which I mean players who might provide two or more wins than they did in 2012-2013. Some of the "breakout players" are really just players who are coming off of injury-plagued seasons, or who are coming off of uncharacteristically bad seasons.
Listed next to the team name is their record in 2012-2013. The teams are ranked so that the teams that are most likely to have the worst record are at the bottom.
This isn't meant to be a definitive analysis, but rather just one way of looking at teams. By no means do I think Win Shares are perfect, but I do think they're correlated with the quality of players.
Basketball reference explains how they calculate win shares here: http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/ws.html
Major win producers still available:
Nikola Pekovic 6.7, Jeff Teague 6.1, Andrei Kirilenko 6.0, Nate Robinson 5.9, Brandon Jennings 5.8, Monta Ellis 4.6, Metta World Peace 4.6, Tyler Hansbrough 4.4, Antawn Jamison 4.3, Brandan Wright 4.1, Elton Brand 3.4
Teams that will almost definitely make the playoffs in 2013-2014 (8 teams):
Key Players: LeBron James 19.3, Dwyane Wade 9.6, Chris Bosh 9.0, Ray Allen 5.4, Mario Chalmers 5.2, Shane Battier 4.4, Udonis Haslem 3.2, Mike Miller 2.6 (in 59 games)
Potential Breakout Players: Norris Cole
Rookies: James Ennis
Weakness: Roy Hibbert
Analysis: The reigning NBA champions. Note that they still haven't re-signed Chris Andersen. Moving right along...
Key Players: Chris Paul 13.9, Blake Griffin 10.6, Matt Barnes 6.3, DeAndre Jordan 6.2, Darren Collison 5.6, Jamal Crawford 5.4, Jared Dudley 4.8, JJ Redick 4.5, Willie Green 2.5, Ryan Hollins 1.7
Potential Breakout Players: Hollins
Rookies: Reggie Bullock
Weakness: Chris Paul's health
Analysis: I really like their free agent moves, so I'll put them second, but I see them, the Thunder, the Rockets, and the Spurs as the frontrunners in the West.
Key Players: Kevin Durant 18.9, Russell Westbrook 11.6, Serge Ibaka 9.4, Thabo Sefolosha 6.8, Nick Collison 5.2, Kendrick Perkins 2.5, Reggie Jackson 2.5, Hasheem Thabeet 2.2
Potential Breakout Players: Jackson, Thabeet, Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones
Rookies: Steven Adams, Andre Roberson, Alex Abrines, Grant Jarrett
Weakness: Russell Westbrook's health, Center
Analysis: Unlike some other teams, the Thunder keep their draft picks and build for both the present and the future. Like the Spurs with Tim Duncan, the Thunder could be a contender for the length of Durant's career.
Key Players:George Hill 9.7, David West 9.1, Paul George 9.0, Roy Hibbert 6.1, Lance Stephenson 5.5, Ian Mahinmi 2.3, Chris Copeland 2.1 (in 56 games), Gerald Green 1.3
Potential Breakout Players: Danny Granger, Copeland, George, Hibbert, Stephenson, Mahinmi
Rookies: Solomon Hill
Analysis: A good young team. It'll be interesting to see whether they take a step forward next year.
Key Players: Deron William 10.9, Brook Lopez 9.0, Paul Pierce 7.2, Kevin Garnett 5.6, Joe Johnson 5.1, Andray Blatche 4.9, Reggie Evans 4.3, Jason Terry 4.0, Shaun Livingston 2.6
Potential Breakout Players: Lopez, Mirza Teletovic
Rookies: Mason Plumlee
Analysis: I could see them challenging the Heat for the top seed in a best-case scenario, or getting (about) the seventh seed in the worst case scenario. But either way, they'll make the playoffs.
Key Players: Carmelo Anthony 9.5, Tyson Chandler 9.3, JR Smith 6.7, Raymond Felton 4.2, Pablo Prigioni 3.2, Amare Stoudemire 2.7 (in 29 games), Iman Shumpert 1.9 (in 45 games), Andrea Bargnani 0.1 (in 39 games)
Potential Breakout Players: Stoudemire, Bargnani
Rookies: Tim Hardaway, Jr.
Analysis: I thought the Bargnani trade was awful, and I think they'll be worse next season. But they should still make the playoffs easily.
Key Players: Joakim Noah 7.3, Jimmy Butler 7.0, Luol Deng 6.3, Carlos Boozer 5.7, Mike Dunleavy 4.4, Taj Gibson 3.3, Kirk Hinrich 3.1
Potential Breakout Players: Derrick Rose, Butler
Rookies: Tony Snell, Erik Murphy
Weakness: Derrick Rose's health
Analysis: Obviously, the return of Rose is the big question here. Even with him playing just average, they're a decent team.
Western Conference teams that will probably make the playoffs (5 teams):
Key Players: Tony Parker 9.3, Tim Duncan 8.3, Tiago Splitter 8.2, Kawhi Leonard 6.2, Danny Green 5.9, Manu Ginobili 4.5, Boris Diaw 4.4, Marco Belinelli 3.0, Matt Bonner 2.5, Gary Neal 1.9
Potential Breakout Players: Leonard, Patrick Mills, Cory Joseph, Nando De Colo, Jeff Pendergraph
Rookies: Livio Jean-Charles, DeShaun Thomas
Analysis: They might be the best team in the West, but there's the slight possibility that age and injuries could catch up to them. Even without Duncan and Parker, they could probably still make the playoffs.
Key Players: James Harden 12.8, Dwight Howard 7.6, Chandler Parsons 7.0, Omer Asik 5.5, Jeremy Lin 5.4, Greg Smith 4.0, Patrick Beverley 2.2 (in 41 games),
Potential Breakout Players: Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas, Howard, Beverley, Smith
Rookies: Isaiah Canaan
Weakness: Asik doesn't want to play with Howard. They should get a pretty good asset for him, but until they do, they only have two good big men.
Analysis: This is a championship-contending team. There's at least a chance that Harden and Howard don't work as well as it should, and the West is very good, so I have them down here.
Key Players: Marc Gasol 11.5, Mike Conley 9.9, Zach Randolph 7.9, Kosta Koufos 6.5, Tony Allen 5.1, Jerryd Bayless 4.0, Quincy Poindexter 3.2, Ed Davis 2.1 (in 36 games), Tayshaun Prince 1.8 (in 37 games)
Potential Breakout Players: Tony Wroten, Poindexter, Davis, Prince
Rookies: Jamaal Franklin
Analysis: Another championship-caliber team; on the off chance that they miss the playoffs and have a down year, it'll probably be because the West is so tough.
Key Players: Kenneth Faried 7.8, Ty Lawson 7.4, Danilo Gallinari 7.2, JJ HIckson 6.9, Andre Miller 5.4, Javale McGee 4.9, Corey Brewer 3.9, Randy Foye 3.7, Wilson Chandler 3.1, Darrell Arthur 1.7
Potential Breakout Players: Lawson, Gallinari, McGee, Chandler, Arthur, Evan Fournier, Jordan Hamilton, Anthony Randolph
Rookies: Erick Green, Joffrey Lauvergne
Weakness: Lack of a star player
Analysis: A good team, but they could take a step back with the loss of Iguodala and Koufos.
Key Players: Stephen Curry 11.2, David Lee 9.1, Andre Iguodala 5.6, Klay Thompson 4.3, Harrison Barnes 2.8, Andrew Bogut 1.7 (in 32 games), Festus Ezeli 1.5
Potential Breakout Players: Iguodala, Thompson, Barnes, Bogut, Ezeli
Rookies: Nemanja Nedovic
Weakness: Health and depth
Analysis: They lost good players in Carl Landry, Jarrett Jack, and Brandon Rush. They could be a truly great team competing for a championship, but that would take durable players and growth from Thompson and Barnes.
Playoff Contenders (10 teams):
Potential Breakout Players: Jenkins, Williams, Horford
Rookies: Lucas Noguiera, Dennis Schroeder
Weakness: Point Guard
Analysis: Combining the inside threats of Horford and Millsap with the outside threats of Korver and Jenkins could be deadly on offense. If the Hawks were to sign a decent point guard (like RFA Jeff Teague), they would be in a higher tier.
Potential Breakout Players: Lillard, Leonard, Matthews, Aldridge
Rookies: CJ McCollum, Allen Crabbe
Weakness: Lack of a superstar player
Analysis: This team will actually be pretty good. They're only this low because the West has so many good teams. They had no depth last year, but they seem to have fixed that issue.
Potential Breakout Players: Davis, Holiday, Evans, Rivers, Aminu
Rookies: Pierre Jackson
Analysis: This team has a lot of upside, so they could definitely make the playoffs. Even if they don't, they have enough good players to avoid the basement.
Potential Breakout Players: Valanciunas, Fields
Rookies: None of note
Weak spot: Depth
Analysis: The Raptors look ready to be a fringe playoff contender. Their starters are all at least decent players, and Valanciunas has some nice upside. Fields could have a bounceback year and Ross could improve in his second year. The loss of Andrea Bargnani could be addition by subtraction.
Weakness: Relying on growth of young players and returns from injuries.
Analysis: The Wizards got hit by multiple injuries last year. Between their solid frontcourt veterans and their promising young guards, this team is a playoff contender if healthy.
Potential Breakout Players: Irving, Thomspon, Varejao, Zeller, Waiters
Weakness: Relying on growth and development of young players and returns from injuries.
Analysis: With some development of their young guys, and with a healthy return of Varejao, they should be a playoff contender in the East, although a disappointing season is certainly possible.
Potential Breakout Players: Nowitzki, Crowder
Rookies: Shane Larkin, Ricardo Ledo
Weakness: Shooting Guard, depth
Analysis: They signed Calderon and Harris, so I assume they're interested in winning now. If they fill out their roster, they'll be in the playoff picture.
Potential Breakout Players: Nash, Gasol, Jordan Hill
Weakness: Big men
Analysis: Even though they have injury problems, a team with Nash, Gasol, a few decent role players, and potentially Kobe should at least avoid the basement. The signing of Kaman would seem to indicate they want to win this year.
Potential Breakout Players: Love, Rubio, Williams, Budinger
Weakness: Relying on injury comebacks, big men
Analysis: If they re-sign Pekovic, Rubio and Love return to form, and Martin meshes with the team, they could be a pretty good team. But I could also see another disappointing 30 win season.
Potential Breakout Players: Drummond, Monroe, Knight, Singler, Jerebko, Stuckey, Smith
Rookies: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tony Mitchell
Weak Spot: Point Guard
Analysis: This team has the potential to grow into a playoff contender this year if things go right, but they could be in the basement if things go wrong. With so many young players and Josh Smith, this team really could go either way.
Likely lottery teams (6 teams):
Potential Breakout Players: Sanders, Udoh, Henson, Gustavo Ayon
Rookies: Nate Wolters
Weakness: Point Guard
Analysis: The signing of Mayo and Delfino would seem to indicate they plan on winning now. On the other hand, at the moment, they really need a point guard. Stay tuned.
Weakness: Both guard spots, lack of a star player
Analysis: They might look like they're tanking, but this could actually be a decent team if they get anything from their guards at all. Favors and Kanter are two of the most promising young big men in basketball, Williams is coming off a down year, Hayward is pretty good, Rush is a good player, and Biedrins could be an (incredibly overpaid) serviceable backup big man. If Trey Burke can adjust quickly to the NBA, I think this team could surprise people.
Potential Breakout Players: Cousins
Rookies: Ben McLemore
Weakness: Small forward
Analysis: The Carl Landry signing shows they want to win now. They actually have a pretty good frontcourt and two good point guards. If they get production from the wings, they might be a fringe playoff contender.
Potential Breakout Players: Bledsoe, Gortat, Beasley (inasmuch as he could be less awful)
Weakness: Lack of a star player
Analysis: If the Suns don't move their veterans (Dragic, Scola, Butler, Gortat), they could get get out of the basement in 2013-2014. On the other hand, they look like the favorites to the worst team in the West.
Potential Breakout Players: Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist, Biyombo, Taylor
Rookies: Cody Zeller
Weakness: Shooting guard and small forward.
Analysis: The Bobcats looked like they could be the leader for the crown of worst team in 2013-2014, but then they signed Jefferson. Growth from their young players could make them a borderline playoff team, especially if they add a shooting guard in free agency.
Potential Breakout Players: Rondo, Green, Sullinger, Bradley, Humphries, Wallace, Fab Melo
Weakness: Lack of a focal point for their offense, especially with Rondo out.
Analysis: Even though they just traded two Hall of Famers, the Celtics actually don't seem intent on completely tearing the team down, as they seem to plan on keeping Rondo (who is coming off an ACL injury). They have numerous young players with some potential, and veterans coming off of bad seasons.
The Basement (2 Teams): These are the teams that I think don't have even a remote shot at a winning record.
Potential Breakout Players: Nelson, Vucevic, Harkless, Harris, Nicholson, O'Quinn
Rookies: Victor Oladipo
Weakness: Lack of starting-caliber talent (at the present)
Analysis: They have a bunch of decent young players who could become solid NBA starters, along with two veterans coming off disappointing seasons. They have no shot at the playoffs, but a little growth and injury luck could get them out of the basement. The news that they're thinking about playing Oladipo at point guard gives them the lowest mindset score.
Potential Breakout Players: Turner, Moultrie, Allen, Royce White
Weakness: Point Guard, Small Forward
Analysis: Until the Sixers trade Young, they haven't confirmed to be in full-scale tanking mode. Still, this team should be very bad with the loss Holiday and Dorrell Wright. | <urn:uuid:cc7e6b44-361d-446e-b8ed-d84eb4ab7777> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.libertyballers.com/2013/7/6/4499104/a-look-at-the-race-for-the-worst-record | 2014-08-31T06:30:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500836108.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021356-00081-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.903157 | 3,565 |
Algebra II End-of-Course Exam Content Standards—Module: Logarithmic Functions
Successful students will be able to define, represent, and model using logarithmic functions. Recognition of the inverse relationship between logarithmic and exponential functions is essential to this concept. They will apply the laws of logarithms, solve logarithmic equations, and use logarithms to solve exponential equations. There are a variety of types of test items including some that cut across the objectives in this standard and require students to make connections and solve rich contextual problems.
L1. Logarithmic expressions and equations
a. Apply the properties of logarithms and use them to manipulate logarithmic expressions.
- Represent logarithmic expressions in exponential form and exponential expressions in logarithmic form.
- Understand that a logarithm is an exponent that depends on the
- The properties of logarithms include those related to powers,
products, quotients, and changing the base.
b. Solve logarithmic equations, paying attention to the possibility of extraneous roots.
Example: If log(x - 3) + log(x + 2) = log(14), then
log(x2 - x - 6) = log(14)
x2 - x - 6 = 14
x2 - x - 20 = 0
x = 5 or -4
However, all solutions must be greater than 3 because of domain restrictions on the original logarithmic functions, and the only solution is x = 5.
L2. Logarithmic functions
a. Determine key characteristics of logarithmic functions.
- Key characteristics include domain, range, asymptotes, and end
b. Represent logarithmic functions using tables, graphs, verbal statements, and equations. Translate among these representations.
c. Describe the effect that changes in the parameters of a logarithmic function have on the shape and position of its graph.
d. Recognize, express, and solve problems that can be modeled using logarithmic functions. Interpret their solutions in terms of the context of the problem.
- Use the properties of logarithms to solve problems involving logarithmic and exponential functions, including problems of growth and decay, chemical pH, and sound or earthquake intensity.
- This includes using and interpreting appropriate units of measurement and precision for the given application. | <urn:uuid:5b90c251-1208-4e25-b257-6a6b7d741fcf> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.utdanacenter.org/k12mathbenchmarks/alg2eoc/mod_logarithmic.php | 2015-08-30T11:51:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065306.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00103-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.869268 | 516 |

It is now time to address what we are all either outwardly expressing, or quietly thinking, due to the overall unrest in the world. What kind of traveler am I? I know I have been pondering this for a while and not just because I am in the travel industry. I have concluded that there that are 3 kinds of travelers and each one reacts to the unrest differently. First, you have to understand that I think we are all travelers in one way or another, and the defining differentiation is the distance we travel, the reasons we travel, and the overall satisfaction we receive from traveling.
Here is my breakdown:
You are comfortable staying near home and travel to do your errands, and meet up with friends in your local neighborhoods or possibly to further destinations that can be reached by car. For example, you spend most of your time on Cape Cod, but you do go over the bridge for an event in Boston or the New England region. You have always been this way and find that you have given up more extensive travels.
You like to travel and find that the overall benefits it brings to your life makes you want to keep on traveling. You like the feeling of joy and excitement as you anticipate an upcoming trip that will take you out of your daily routine. You like the fun of planning what you will see and do on your trip, and take the time to do some online research. You like the feeling of joie de vivre when you are experiencing your daily activities while traveling. You feel gratitude when you return home renewed and re-energized. The present state of the world? You will just adjust where you travel and possibly “see the USA in your Chevrolet”. Remember that jungle? I am singing it as I write this.
This train is a visually stunning experience as you travel between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies or other interesting itineraries. Having taken a rail journey, it is as wonderful as the below reviews say it is. “Seven-time winner of World’s Leading Travel Experience by Train” World Travel Awards One of the world’s “Best Life-Changing Trips” travel & Leisure “This sleek blue train winds past foaming waterfalls, ancient glaciers, towering snow-capped peaks and roaring mountain streams.” Frommer’s
You have all the traits of the B traveler but you are also an intrepid traveler, and nothing is going to stop you from following through on your travel plans. You are on a quest to see the world and are committed to experiencing as many destinations as you have on your bucket list. You can’t imagine not having a trip to look forward to. You probably plan your next trip upon your return home from one. It is an important ingredient for the overall enjoyment of your life. the present state of the world? you will follow through with your scheduled travel plans and not hesitate to continue to travel abroad. Now it will come as no surprise that I am a C traveler. I have been asked over the last few months how I feel about traveling. I will announce my answer to all of you. I have a belief that my life will end as it is supposed to and God will have me be in the time and place where it will happen…in my house, on the street of Boston, or in another domestic or foreign destination. I won’t let fear rule my daily life and wreak havoc with my overall contentment and enjoyment of life. Now of course I do understand this is a personal choice, and I support all of my travelers in the decisions they make. Please let me know if you want some ideas of alternative destinations or just want to have a conversation about travel. I leave you with the following quote. | <urn:uuid:2939b0c1-3e98-4d10-bd35-00db846dee75> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://northsidetravel.com/2016/07/what-kind-of-traveler-are-you/ | 2017-11-21T17:47:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806421.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121170156-20171121190156-00796.warc.gz | en | 0.965506 | 770 |
Kiara Advani is all set for the release of her upcoming Hindi film Kabir Singh, which is a Hindi remake of Telugu blockbuster film Arjun Reddy. The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and has Shahid Kapoor in the lead role. The film is releasing on June 21 and the actress expects the film to be a game changer for her.
After winning the hearts of Telugu audience with Bharat Ane Nenu and Vinaya Vidheya Rama, the actress has become popular in the north there and we can say that she is the most sought after actress now in Bollywood. There is a tremendous buzz for this project and Kiara is super confident that the film will turn her career completely. At a promotion interview which she was giving in Mumbai, Kiara said that Kabir Singh will be a game changer for her and Shahid Kapoor as their performances will be highly appreciated. She also said that Sandeep will be a name to reckon with a post the film’s success.
She hasn’t announced any of her next films in Telugu and we are hoping to see her in a few. The actress has Indoo Ki Jawani and Good News in her kitty and both these films are in Hindi. | <urn:uuid:b6917973-25e9-4f63-a070-2332e244d5ca> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.iqlikmovies.com/news/article/2019/06/13/kabir-singh-may-be-game-changer-for-kiara/30926 | 2021-07-29T01:32:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153814.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20210729011903-20210729041903-00333.warc.gz | en | 0.986144 | 266 |

Analysis of TFlow® volume and the DOMTracker reveals that each market has its own dynamics and limits. When these limits are reached, exhaustion and major turning points can occur. Smoothed TFlow differs from the normal aggregation in that it uses a proprietary algorithm to redefine the data to remove lag whilst maintaining sensitivity. This means that the absolute high and low of a smoothed bar are not necessarily traded levels. The concept is to track trends through the noise of small retracements and allow for swing patterns to act as trailing stops. In the crude example from Thursday, shown in the second image below, when price moves above the black line, there is no longer any reason to be short.
The collapse in crude began with a sweeping reversal early in the afternoon. The peak volume points were at the top of the trend, as shown on the Market Profile chart (blue bar). When the day's range was engulfed in just one thirty-minute period, day traders were long and wrong, meaning a swift trend was possible. The key references from a support perspective are where the control point of most time is at 94.96 and the midpoint of the recent uptrend (50% retracement) is at 94.50. The small blue arrow indicates this midpoint.
The TFlow chart below shows the second half of this fall with the volume, an Elliott Wave Count, and the eighty-period Moving Linear Regression line. I have also added a standard error band at 2.5. This has two uses: firstly, to qualify a breakout, and secondly, once a trend has developed, to mark an exhaustion point. This exhaustion point is when the trend is more than eighty bars in length and price touches the lower band. Analysis of prior data shows that extreme volume is at two thousand contracts. The chart shows how that extreme is reached. With the knowledge that the area of 9496 to 9450 is where the trend should end, the market touches the lower band. Just prior to that point, a fresh wave of exhaustion selling appears.
The next chart shows how the DOMTracker adds additional weight to the exhaustion theory. DOMTracker also has limits of range, and this is normally at two hundred. There is a huge bubble of bids at the support area that peaks above three hundred, and the two-period DOMTracker has an even bigger spike. Price bottoms at the lower band and the 50% retracement before, shortly after wave two, the Moving Linear Regression line shifts direction and confirms that the trend is over. Finally, once the swing pattern is breached, there is no longer any reason to get short. | <urn:uuid:b4618e41-fdf8-45c4-a7e0-9714ecbff84b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://news.cqg.com/blogs/commentary/2011/07/qualifying-fibonacci-smoothed-tflow-domtracker-and-limits-volume | 2022-01-21T22:27:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303717.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121222643-20220122012643-00383.warc.gz | en | 0.946874 | 535 |
Despite of my genuine love and attachment to art, I know very little. I always wished I had known more, but I always came up with lame excuses to do something else instead of digging into it.
Among many kinds of art, especially contemporary art is often too hard for me to understand. So I must admit that I have a strong tendency to prefer any art work that is super straight forward, easy to understand (almost kindergarten-level), visible, realistic, and depicting some sensitive issues.
The Australian artist Ron Mueck’s (b. 1958) sculpture Boy has become one of the landmarks of the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum. Measuring 4.5 metres in height and weighing in at 500 kg, the crouching youth of gargantuan proportions occupies the northern end of the museum’s special exhibitions foyer. – ARoS
I wouldn’t dare to describe any thing from the exhibition. But the one below looked very, very, very real. Look at all the details. You see little veins on his cheek? I know zooming up with a camera is kind of cheating since it’s meant to be seen with bare eyes- but I couldn’t help it.
Now you know how big it is :) It was big but small- in a sense that I thought of him as a young boy. Crouching with nervous, suspicious eyes- It has mesmerizing power to destabilize people.
It was also really interesting to see Claus‘ sketches for this. He first drew various postures. The interesting part was that the sketches also had viewers in them too. Considering how people would interact with it and trying to convey something through its posture, size, angle, position, and many other subtle settings were just impressive.
WHAT’S LEFT (IS REPUBLICAN PAINT) – NINE SISTERS
Very strong, appealing. Again, I wouldn’t dare to try describing them. | <urn:uuid:7e84fe89-80cc-4064-8593-f67193a47ace> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://minalee.info/2015/06/28/aros-art-works/ | 2019-01-18T00:26:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583659417.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190117224929-20190118010929-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.980786 | 406 |

I had a nice stalk of this for our iris show, but the day before the show, it just FELL OVER! I had a lot of that last year. I called it "stalk rot." Anyone else have that problemo?
I assumed the excess of weeds caused the rot to take a number on the stalk, with a lack of sunlight and air circulation to keep things healthy down there.
It was recommended to me that I use it further in breeding, so I did! I put the stalk in a vase here in my house, and after every flower opened, I grabbed the pollen and went daubing. I have seeds from 'Fancy Woman', 'Balderdash' , and 'Prestige Item' using the pollen.
Anyway, here's the parentage. I really like this iris. Just wish it would grow a little more vigorous for me.

Blanket weed is a major problem in ponds, not only does it look unappealing but it can also overwhelm plants and pond life you may have in your garden. Not only this but it can also be a sign of imbalance in your pond, so eliminating it before it takes hold is essential.
Any keen aquatic enthusiast knows how detrimental blanket weed can be to a pond, however if you’re unfamiliar with this major pond problem then keep reading to find out more.
What is blanket weed and where does it come from?
There are around 20,000 different forms of algae with over 500 species under the umbrella of blanket weed or string algae as it is also known. Blanket weed is a hair like algae that consists of long green fibres which grow rapidly and if left untreated will quickly spread throughout a pond. This form of algae can either free float on the ponds surface or cling to the pond walls, rocks and plants.
Just like all forms of algae, blanket weed reproduces through spores. These spores are present in the air and can also be carried from pond to pond on birds, amphibians and plants.
How do I remove blanket weed from my pond?
If you find that your pond is affected by blanket weed then it is a sign that your pond is not balanced. The most cost effective way to control blanket weed is to help everything in the pond reach the right balance. It is important to remember that a pond is a mini eco-system, each element within the pond combines to balance it as a whole.
We would advise ensuring your pond has enough plants within it, as these will use the excess nutrients that can lead to blanket weed building up in your garden pond. It is important to have the right balance of plants in your pond, so aim to mix up oxygenators, marginal and deep water plants. The use of phosphate removers/absorbers provide an alternative method of removing these excess nutrients in ponds where plants are not an option.
If you find that blanket weed is an extreme problem in your pond, why not try one of our blanket weed removal products? This selection of handy treatments provide a temporary solution to the problem, so it is vital you look to balancing the problem from the root. Once the pond has been treated you can then look to balancing your pond correctly to ensure the problem does not return.
Why does blanket weed keep coming back to my pond?
If you’ve used a treatment to remove blanket weed from your pond, then it is vital you create the right balance in your pond after this. If you fail to do this, you can guarantee the problem will reoccur.
- Keep the amount of fish in your pond to a minimum as waste from pond life can increase the nutrient level in the water causing algae to build up.
- Remove any rotten vegetation, including dead leaves, although these seem like small issues they can unbalance the levels in the water again boosting the nutrient levels.
- Regularly maintain pond filters to remove uneaten fish food, fish waste and other debris which all contribute to excess nutrient levels.
- Ensure all plants in your pond are healthy and thriving. Again this may seem like a simple step but it can really make the difference between a healthy and unhealthy pond.
- In ponds where plants are not an option use phosphate removers to artificially reduce the excess nutrients to cut off the blanket weeds source of food.
Are plants good at controlling blanket weed? And if so which plants?
Plants are an excellent way to balance your pond, they can thrive on high levels of nutrients and can be key indicator as to whether your pond is healthy or not.
Rorippa Nasturtium Aquaticum or Water Cress as it is commonly known is an excellent choice if you have issues with blanket weed. This plant will only grow where there is a high level of nutrients in the water. Meaning when the balance is corrected the plant will gradually shrink, helping you know you’ve achieved a good balance.
Pond Lilies are also a great idea as blanket weed thrives on sunlight. By adding pond lilies to your pond these will reduce sunlight levels as well as absorbing nutrients which otherwise the blanket weed would use to thrive. They also provide shade and shelter for you fish. | <urn:uuid:53e37574-2956-4c3b-a39c-a58e8300c486> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.pond-planet.co.uk/blog/how-to-remove-blanket-weed/ | 2020-04-04T07:58:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370521574.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200404073139-20200404103139-00259.warc.gz | en | 0.935973 | 876 |
Start on the rightmost line of fixed quickdraws, and continue up and right past good holds to a rest just below the headwall. Move left through sidepulls and pinches until you make a large move that establishes you over the lip of the roof. Make a few more challenging moves and then continue to the top, staying just left of the obvious blackstreak/waterfall.

Ahead of this weekends Survivor Series, were taking a look at five of the most memorable moments in Survivor Series history.Moment 2:? Bret screwed Bret, 1997 Survivor Series (Nov. 9, 1997) Its rare to see scripted WWE television turn into a legitimate nonfictional dramatic affair, but thats what happened on Nov. 9, 1997. The Montreal Screwjob was as real as it gets in the world of professional wrestling.This main event saw WWE champion Bret The Hitman Hart battle The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, a feud that dated back many years. The match itself is often forgotten as a result of what happened when the final bell tolled, but it was excellent, full of well-timed spots and a great story.However, the real story saw referee Earl Hebner -- instructed by Vince McMahon -- call for an early bell awarding the match and the title to the Heartbreak Kid. Brets unwillingness to drop the title in his home country as his contract expired forced McMahons hand and created one of the most unforgettable moments not just in Survivor Series history, but in the history of the business. Vince McMahon simply could not risk Bret Hart carrying the WWE Championship out of the Survivor Series and potentially to his new home, which was WCW, the then-competition. Instead, the match was rigged without Harts knowledge, ensuring that Michaels walked out of the event with the title and that the symbol of the company remained where it belonged.A fuming Hart expressed his exasperation as he literally spat in McMahons face, leading to a war of words for years until an eventual reconciliation over a decade later. McMahons Bret screwed Bret quote is a line that lives in infamy.The nature of this true story was so gripping that the scenario was worked into future storylines. In fact, we saw the same plot play out following year at the Survivor Series when The Rock aligned himself with the McMahons, meaning no WWE Championship for Mick Foley. As great as that was for The Rocks career, nothing compares to the real thing. Alvaro Morata Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Isco Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. http://www.spainsoccerpro.com/Iago-Aspas-Spain-Jersey/ . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Gerard Pique Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. Rodrigo Jersey . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start. BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Donald Payne returned blocked field goal attempt for a touchdown in overtime to give Stetson a 30-24 victory over Campbell on Saturday.In overtime, Payne recovered the ball when a Campbell field goal attempt was blocked and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown, giving the Hatters (4-3, 2-2 Pioneer League) the win.The Hatters were leading 24-10 late in the game when Anthony Robbins threw two TDs for the Camels (3-3, 1-2), tying the game 24-24 with 11 seconds left in regulation. He found Trey Saanders from the 10, and Aaron Blockmon with a 6-yarder plus a two-point conversion.ddddddddddddhe Hatters trailed 10-7 at halftime but Cole Martins 14-yard touchdown pass to Donald Parham and a 4-yard scoring run by Cole Mazza brought Stetson back to lead 21-10 at the end of the third quarter. Martin finished with 120 yards passing.Robbins threw for 209 yards and a touchdown for the Camels.

Classical economists define stagnation as that situation in which the total output/output per capita is constant, either it is falling slightly, or it is rising in a sluggish manner (Njobvu and Koopman 3). During stagnation period, unemployment is chronic. Stagnation can exist in some industries or in the whole economy. According to Njobvu and Koopman, when Less Developed Countries are injected with sufficient funds, they can finance major development projects and provide essential public services to the population. The financing can help to boost the declining enterprises, development projects, industries and as well change the vicious circles of poverty that hold and keep many LDCS in a state of static equilibrium. | <urn:uuid:0587bfe7-fffa-4667-be46-aea41c6d61d7> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://papersmarketplace.com/papers/response-to-economics-discussion-questions | 2020-08-05T07:23:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735916.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805065524-20200805095524-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.924817 | 259 |
When people are learning how to drive, they are taught to place safety first. Sadly, car accidents can happen at any time. While car accidents can range in size from the smallest fender benders to the largest multi-car pileups, even small car accidents can lead to major injuries. Therefore, people need to do everything they can to avoid car accidents, protecting themselves and other drivers from potential catastrophes. This is where a car accident lawyer can be helpful.
One of the most common causes of car accidents is distracted driving. While there have been a lot of tech advances that have made our lives easier, they also make driving more dangerous. For example, people think that they can multi-task at all times. In reality, when they try to do something else while driving, they are shifting their attention away from the road. Cars are heavy. Cars move quickly. Even shifting attention away from the road for a split second can lead to a serious accident. This is why people need to make sure they do not text and drive. They also should not talk on the phone and drive. This is called distracted driving.
Another reason why car accidents happen has to do with driving while tired. People have things to do and most people do not get the right amount of sleep at night. This means that many people get behind the wheel of a car while tired. If someone falls asleep while driving, they lose control of their vehicle. This means that they might run off the road or strike other cars. Falling asleep also means that people are not awake to step on the brakes. Therefore, car accidents involving tired driving often take place at high speed. This can lead to major injuries.
Finally, drunk driving is still a major problem. During the past few decades, there have been a lot of interventions that have reduced the frequency of drunk driving car accidents. On the other hand, there are still lots of people who drive while impaired. Alcohol causes the reflexes to slow, judgment to be impaired, and can even cause people to fall asleep while driving. Therefore, the punishments for drunk driving are stiff. Everyone has to be responsible and make sure they call a cab (or a rideshare driver) if they go out drinking.
These are just a few of the most common causes of car accidents. It is critical for everyone to keep these top causes in mind so that they can take avoidance measures that could protect themselves and their loved ones. Even small car accidents have the potential to lead to serious injuries. | <urn:uuid:80549d66-66a3-428e-aba8-1bf5bfdea0fb> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://mrdetechtive.com/what-are-the-most-common-causes-of-car-accidents/ | 2022-11-26T14:57:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446708010.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20221126144448-20221126174448-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.980666 | 507 |

Save the Date: Arts Events
If you're sick of the same old date night or looking for something slightly more cultural than elbowing your way to the bar at another crowded happy hour, this weekend promises a surplus of events at local galleries as new exhibitions all over town are unveiled.
Thursday, March 19
Flashpoint has a lot to live up to after the PB&J and PBR night that rung in Cory Oberndorfer's last exhibition, but this sounds promising: The show is "Workbook" and consists of drawings by Kate McGraw and Ann Tarantino. The pair completed the drawings, which are done directly on the walls of the gallery, over the course of 10 days with each artist responding to the work of the other. There will be wine and treats at the opening, plus a stop motion animation of the process, which will be replaced with a more in-depth documentary later this month. (6-8 p.m.)
Nevin Kelly recently moved from its home along U Street to a new location in Columbia Heights, and the opening reception for "Atmospheric Conditions" would be the perfect reason to check out the new space. The solo show spotlights colorful abstract paintings and drawings by New Yorker H. Wesley Wheeler. (6-9 p.m.)
While it doesn't fit tidily into the "art openings" bucket, tonight's event at the Phillips seems strange and interesting enough to merit a mention. The museum is offering a tutorial on meditation followed by the chance to practice surrounded by the works of Giorgio Morandi. ($35, 6:30-8 p.m.)
Friday, March 20
While Thursday and Saturday will be somewhat overwhelming, I have a single, savory option for Friday: Civilian Art Projects is celebrating the opening of two shows. New photography by Noelle K. Tan will appear alongside "Women's Work," Hadieh Shafie, Lynn Cazabon and Tory Wright's reflections on feminine identity. (7-9 p.m.)
Saturday, March 21
If you've missed the month-long run of work by Anna U. Davis at Long View, fear not. The closing reception celebrates the painter's show, featuring her trademark gray "frocasian" characters that seem to transcend race. (7-9 p.m.)
Transformer is wasting no time after finishing up its Summer School series of events. The gallery marks the opening of Julia Mandle's "Fabrication of Blindness/Fabricating Rain" with an interactive midday reception. The exhibition was inspired by the photo of a hooded detainee at Guantanamo Bay, and visitors to the gallery can add to the installation by embroidering messages written by detainees onto similar hoods made of military-issue sandbags. Mandle will be on hand this afternoon and a couple of embroidery circles will be underway. (2 p.m.)
The opening of "Private Arts" at Artery 717 is a multisensory experience. In addition to the 150 new works on view in the recently expanded gallery, there will also be live music, including blues and rock. (7:30-11 p.m.)
For the 24th year, the Corcoran's printmaking department will be displaying work by students and faculty, and this year the show comes to Gallery Plan B. The theme is "oil and water" and this is just the first of two receptions. The second, on April 1, will also include a poetry reading. (6-8 p.m.)
To get more bang for your, um, time, head to U Street, where Hamiltonian and Project 4 are both celebrating openings under the same roof. Hamiltonian's three-artist show includes paintings of female figures by Lisa Brotman, large-scale mixed-media panels by Thomas Block and sculpture by Michael Enn Sirvet. Upstairs at Project 4, expect to find a humorous look at power with Calla Thompson's "Hero and Baddie."

Viewed – 10 December 2016 Online-rental
I wasn’t the biggest fan of visionary director Nicolas Winding Refn’s last movie, Only God Forgives … a movie whilst stylistically impressive didn’t draw me in at all. However I do consider the acclaimed Drive a bit of a cult classic. So on a film-lover’s basis I’ll always give this guy a day in court. This latest effort is sort of an amalgamation of influences but I suppose most closely resembles Black Swan, swapping the ballet scene for fashion. Elle Fanning plays a young model newly arrived in Los Angeles and hoping to get discovered. There she befriends makeup artist Ruby (Jena Malone) and gets a gig working for agency executive Christina Hendricks. However as her angelic natural beauty starts to catch the eye of several high profile photographers and designers, she attracts the jealously of fellow models.
This is a striking looking movie. Refn’s eye for beautiful / macabre imagery is perfectly suited to the subject and we get a very artistic, at times freaky but always interesting ‘experience’ that clearly borrows from the likes of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and to a heavy extent Dario Argento … with clear nods to Suspiria. Add to this an equally effective soundtrack with plenty of industrial-electronic beats enhancing the images. The plot which is fairly simple goes to some very dark, surprising places and has a stand out turn from Fanning who continues to be an actress to watch. One of my growing faves, Jena Malone is also very good (will she live down ‘that’ scene?). We also get an appearance from Keanu Reeves as a creepy hotel manager. A Winding Refn movie is not for everyone I’ll add … he goes to some pretty shocking extremes here and it all gets rather messed up towards the end, as his movies usually do – but here the twist is a little bonkers and left me feeling a bit pushed out of the experience, almost like Refn was trying to shock for sake of shock rather than concluding on something all that effective or convincing.
However as a bold observation of a very superficial industry where youth and beauty are used and thrown away easily – I still found this both disturbing and intriguing … but not quite the sum of its exceptional looking ‘parts’.
Verdict: 3.5 /5 | <urn:uuid:a009a1e0-860a-46f3-9e2f-e33c6afed5ca> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://themoviereport.net/2016/12/11/the-neon-demon/ | 2017-12-14T02:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948537139.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214020144-20171214040144-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.950599 | 501 |
I'm trying to connect to Fuse Message Broker 5.5.1 from IBM Cast Iron (CI) and for some reason CI is not connecting and not throwing any error (It just keep saying 'Connecting to endpoint'). I called IBM support and they were able to connect to Apache Active MQ 4.1 and they were able to send me the sample files. Basically, the Cast Iron Studio uses the several jars as listed below to connect to the MQ and CI allows to add as many jars into studio.
activemq-core-4.1.0-incubator.jar, apache-activemq-4.1.0-incubator.jar, fscontext.jar, providerutil.jar, geronimo-j2ee-management_1.0_spec-1.0.jar, geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.0.jar, spring-2.0.jar.
I tested using both their test project and my test project (Cast Iron project - which is basically one or more orchestrations) them against both Apache Active 4.1 and it connected fine. I shut down the 4.1 and ran the Fuse Message Broker 5.5.1 and used the same jars as mentioned above and it connected as well. But when I removed those 4.1 specific jars and used the 5.5.1 jars (activemq-core-5.5.1-fuse-00-08.jar, geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec-1.0.1.jar, geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar, geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec-1.0.1.jar, fscontext.jar, providerutil.jar, spring-2.0.jar), the studio is not connecting.
What is the name of the jar file that is equivalent to activemq-core-4.1.0-incubator.jar, apache-activemq-4.1.0-incubator.jar in Fuse Message Broker 5.5.1 version? Appreciate the help.
The java runtime is 1.7 and both active mq 4.1, Fuse message broker 5.5.1 run in the same machine as the Cast Iron Studio runs. The Cast Iron Studio version is 18.104.22.168.

Guest reviews are flooding the internet and many are written purely due to consumers wanting to share their experience, whether it is positive or negative.
Yet actually, the vast majority of hotel / resort guests still don’t share experiences publicly. Companies are quickly realizing that if upwards of 84% of all hotels reviews are positive, there’s huge opportunity to solicit more positive reviews from those guests that ordinarily would not share their experience.
While surveys are an essential feedback tool, they provide a structured response in a controlled environment designed to identify areas for improvement within an organization, whereas spontaneous social sharing of experiences is unstructured, publicly visible and ultimately more powerful – whether positive or negative.
SMS marketing is “coming of age” for hotels and resorts because it is a faster, more simple and more effective communication method than templated emails – a quick message after check-out direct to a cell phone requesting a review yields a higher conversion rate than lower performing email marketing.
There are approximately 600 billion text messages sent every month around the world. The open rate for SMS messages eclipses email at 98%, and yet only 1% of SMS messages are considered SPAM due to strict compliance by providers.
But hotels can do much more with SMS than just request a review after the guest leaves, explains the CEO of INTUITION, a customer engagement agency.
“SMS is an important part of Customer Engagement, especially while a guest is on property at a hotel or resort. Using already known and recently generated guest data, SMS Marketing Automation can be used to increase on-site revenue.” Says Paul Mattimoe, President & CEO, INTUITION Brand Marketing.
SMS Automation can be used dynamically to deliver automated yet highly targeted and personalized messages to guests, such as package upgrades or airport transfer offers before they arrive, then special offers for SPA treatments, Activities and Excursions, reminders about Happy Hours and other social and entertainment events during their stay , all based on guest preferences that are known or anticipated.
As SMS circumvents the need for downloading Resort Apps, or paying for WIFI in order to receive emails while on vacation, the delivery rate provides impressive ROI, increased revenue and improved guest satisfaction.
INTUITION Brand Marketing, a business intelligence agency that specializes in Customer Engagement and Reputation, provides tools that track every aspect of the Customer Journey and effectively produces actionable data that drives additional revenue.

It’s the day before Thanksgiving—let us give thanks for the day before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving eve, if you will. The day before Thanksgiving means the day before a long weekend for most people and the day before feasting and spending time with loved ones. ….it’s probably a little too early in the morning to be so mushy, huh?
One thing it’s not too early for? GINGERBREAD. You all said so in this post so I feel it’s appropriate to post all things gingerbread 😀 True story: one time last year I made a very, very similar recipe but never got around to perfecting it. Shameful, I know. This year I set aside some time to do so, and boy did I perfect it—this stuff is grrrrreat! (said in the Tony the Tiger voice).
You can eat it plain, you can eat it atop yogurt or you can eat it with milk like cereal. Speaking of cereal.. cereal is something I used to eat every single day for probably 18 years straight. Then, one day, I fell in love with eggs and sort of stopped eating it. I can honestly say that I rarely crave cereal anymore. But but but… as soon as I poured milk into the bowl of granola I immediately remembered why I spent so many mornings chomping down on cereal (literally chomping because I sometimes accidentally chew like a cow). Just ask my college roommate who had the pleasure of listening to me chew for four years straight. I think I’ve got my chewing under control now.
The only thing better than gingerbread is chocolate gingerbread and that’s a fact. Crunchy, chunky, chocolate gingerbread granola, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with this recipe. Feel free to double, triple or quadruple the recipe so you have granola for days rather than eating it all in one sitting like I did….. #noshame
Happy happy happy Thanksgiving eve, all!

For all its much vaunted “algorithms” I hate trying to find something new to read on Amazon. If I’ve got the title, or the name of a favourite author, yep, it’s a doddle to find a good book. But if you don’t know what you want, Amazon offers a rubbish browsing experience (imo).
I end up finding most of my books through recommendations. I put a note at the end of my last newsletter asking readers what they’d recommend me to try. I only got one response, but my, it was a doozy! The Girl from Everywhere is time travel and magic, folklore and heist, friendship and coming of age, and it’s entirely gorgeous.
I’ve finished The Girl from Everywhere now, so – what do you recommended, lovely reader? Anything good you want to share? | <urn:uuid:a99acf28-5e02-4786-aec2-1c98819b5e5b> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://katyhaye.com/2018/03/04/how-do-you-find-good-books/ | 2022-05-16T21:16:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662512249.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220516204516-20220516234516-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.931617 | 188 |
When chess masters line up their pieces at the start of a game, they’ve each got the same resources. One of them may choose to make a strategic sacrifice in order to get a tactical advantage. For example, if White were to lose one of his 16 pieces in the beginning, he will have lost about 6% of his force.
On the other hand, near the end of the game, when each side battles with only a few soldiers, a single piece represents a much great percentage of the fighting force. Consider that if White loses one of his four final chessmen, that’s a 25% loss.
I met with a doctor recently who was nearing his endgame, i.e., retirement. He had gone to a “get-rich-quick” seminar, where the snazzy charts and graphs showed returns of 50% and more. He thought he would give one final boost to his financial position by implementing the ultra-risky strategies that he had learned. After investigating the scheme further, though, he saw that what had appeared on the surface to have great potential was really more of a casino. It would be like marching your last four pieces directly towards your opponent’s king. There’s a one-in-a-million chance that you’ll capture the prize on the sixty-four squares; more likely, you’ll just end up walking away a loser.
At the beginning of a chess game, just like at the beginning of your career, you should take some risks. Try a few investments that might have more volatility because, if they turn out sour, you’ll have the rest of the game (and your life) to implement new tactics. But as you approach the end, preserve your pieces and, only after you have done careful research and planning, then make a move. Don’t forget that in world championship chess games, a grandmaster might take many hours to contemplate a position before finally moving. Do you spend enough time planning your next move?

Dinosauria III - Royal Oak Michigan - Detroit Zoological Institute
The challenge was to organize and provide site work for the Dinosauria III, a temporary robotic animated dinosaur exhibit. Thirty-eight dinos were shipped from other displays from all over the country. Their weights were between 500 and 6000 pounds with lengths of up to 48'. The creatures were shipped via truck and trailer, but no dock facilities were available for unloading.
The event required establishment of a supply of compressed air and power from a central location to a 3.5 acre site.
We were responsible for the unloading and set up of these pneumatic computer controlled creatures.
We also provided site work, which included the construction of a waterfall, meteorite site, and air-conditioned tent store. | <urn:uuid:accc1bc1-8519-42f8-be0a-8a39d73edb14> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.diversifiedcontractors.com/1/310/contracting.asp | 2019-07-17T10:28:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525136.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717101524-20190717123524-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.969799 | 158 |
A new documentary called Art & Copy —opening this week—showcases the origins of America's most famous ad slogans. It's from the "Drama, Power, Persuasion" school of advertising industry portrayal. In Australia, there's an example of the other school:
The "Advertising is full of idiots" school. It's a new show called :30 Seconds and it looks funny but alas, it is going to be on in Australia, which is farther than TV can travel. Here is a bit coming to you from the magic of the internet, via Adrants.
In this way we see that advertising is a dynamic and controversial field. | <urn:uuid:a49920a1-df51-432a-a6ef-dcc94485a06a> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://gawker.com/5341911/advertising-dramatic-dumb?tag=documentaries | 2014-10-23T08:39:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507454577.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005734-00144-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958871 | 134 |
Part memoir, part tableau, Corbeau is a multi-layered narrative collage tracing life and death in the rural farm on which Swiss artist Anne Golaz grew up. Made over a twelve-year period and bridging three generations, the three-part book weaves together photographs, video stills and drawings, with texts by the author, screenwriter and playwright, Antoine Jaccoud, as well as the artist’s own writings. The protagonist of Corbeau is a young man seen in each chapter dutifully working on the farm. Gradually, however, his sense of duty appears to be instilled with doubt, a doubt that infuses the entire book. Corbeau, which takes its title from an enigmatic poem by Edgar Allan Poe, explores themes of time, life, destiny and death.

Car Care FAQ
QuestionWhat is the best cleaner to use to wash your car?
That's a tough question, since most cars are made up of a lot of different surfaces. Acrylic paint, vinyl, chrome, rubber, plastic, glass, cloth, sheet metal and other materials all demand a variety of cleaner. So let's start with cleaners that you shouldn't use.

At that time the children of Tarshish came against the sons of Ishmael, and made war with them, and the children of Tarshish spoiled the Ishmaelites for a long time.
And the children of Ishmael were small in number in those days, and they could not prevail over the children of Tarshish, and they were sorely oppressed.
And the old men of the Ishmaelites sent a record to the king of Egypt, saying, Send I pray thee unto thy servants officers and hosts to help us to fight against the children of Tarshish, for we have been consuming away for a long time.
And Pharaoh sent Joseph with the mighty men and host which were with him, and also his mighty men from the king's house.
And they went to the land of Havilah to the children of Ishmael, to assist them against the children of Tarshish, and the children of Ishmael fought with the children of Tarshish, and Joseph smote the Tarshishites and he subdued all their land, and the children of Ishmael dwell therein unto this day.
And when the land of Tarshish was subdued, all the Tarshishites ran away, and came on the border of their brethren the children of Javan, and Joseph with all his mighty men and host returned to Egypt, not one man of them missing.
And at the revolution of the year, in the second year of Joseph's reigning over Egypt, the Lord gave great plenty throughout the land for seven years as Joseph had spoken, for the Lord blessed all the produce of the earth in those days for seven years, and they ate and were greatly satisfied.
And Joseph at that time had officers under him, and they collected all the food of the good years, and heaped corn year by year, and they placed it in the treasuries of Joseph.
And at any time when they gathered the food Joseph commanded that they should bring the corn in the ears, and also bring with it some of the soil of the field, that it should not spoil.
And Joseph did according to this year by year, and he heaped up corn like the sand of the sea for abundance, for his stores were immense and could not be numbered for abundance.
And also all the inhabitants of Egypt gathered all sorts of food in their stores in great abundance during the seven good years, but they did not do unto it as Joseph did.
And all the food which Joseph and the Egyptians had gathered during the seven years of plenty, was secured for the land in stores for the seven years of famine, for the support of the whole land.
And the inhabitants of Egypt filled each man his store and his concealed place with corn, to be for support during the famine.
And Joseph placed all the food that he had gathered in all the cities of Egypt, and he closed all the stores and placed sentinels over them.
And Joseph's wife Osnath the daughter of Potiphera bare him two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, and Joseph was thirty-four years old when he begat them.
And the lads grew up and they went in his ways and in his instructions, they did not deviate from the way which their father taught them, either to the right or left.
And the Lord was with the lads, and they grew up and had understanding and skill in all wisdom and in all the affairs of government, and all the king's officers and his great men of the inhabitants of Egypt exalted the lads, and they were brought up amongst the king's children.
And the seven years of plenty that were throughout the land were at an end, and the seven years of famine came after them as Joseph had spoken, and the famine was throughout the land.
And all the people of Egypt saw that the famine had commenced in the land of Egypt, and all the people of Egypt opened their stores of corn for the famine prevailed over them.
And they found all the food that was in their stores, full of vermin and not fit to eat, and the famine prevailed throughout the land, and all the inhabitants of Egypt came and cried before Pharaoh, for the famine was heavy upon them.
And they said unto Pharaoh, Give food unto thy servants, and wherefore shall we die through hunger before thy eyes, even we and our little ones?
And Pharaoh answered them, saying, And wherefore do you cry unto me? did not Joseph command that the corn should be laid up during the seven years of plenty for the years of famine? and wherefore did you not hearken to his voice?
And the people of Egypt answered the king, saying, As thy soul liveth, our lord, thy servants have done all that Joseph ordered, for thy servants also gathered in all the produce of their fields during the seven years of plenty and laid it in the stores unto this day.
And when the famine prevailed over thy servants we opened our stores, and behold all our produce was filled with vermin and was not fit for food.
And when the king heard all that had befallen the inhabitants of Egypt, the king was greatly afraid on account of the famine, and he was much terrified; and the king answered the people of Egypt, saying, Since all this has happened unto you, go unto Joseph, do whatever he shall say unto you, transgress not his commands.
And all the people of Egypt went forth and came unto Joseph, and said unto him, Give unto us food, and wherefore shall we die before thee through hunger? for we gathered in our produce during the seven years as thou didst command, and we put it in store, and thus has it befallen us.
And when Joseph heard all the words of the people of Egypt and what had befallen them, Joseph opened all his stores of the produce and he sold it unto the people of Egypt.
And the famine prevailed throughout the land, and the famine was in all countries, but in the land of Egypt there was produce for sale.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt came unto Joseph to buy corn, for the famine prevailed over them, and all their corn was spoiled, and Joseph daily sold it to all the people of Egypt.
And all the inhabitants of the land of Canaan and the Philistines, and those beyond the Jordan, and the children of the east and all the cities of the lands far and nigh heard that there was corn in Egypt, and they all came to Egypt to buy corn, for the famine prevailed over them.
And Joseph opened the stores of corn and placed officers over them, and they daily stood and sold to all that came.
And Joseph knew that his brethren also would come to Egypt to buy corn, for the famine prevailed throughout the earth. And Joseph commanded all his people that they should cause it to be proclaimed throughout the land of Egypt, saying,
It is the pleasure of the king, of his second and of their great men, that any person who wishes to buy corn in Egypt shall not send his servants to Egypt to purchase, but his sons, and also any Egyptian or Canaanite, who shall come from any of the stores from buying corn in Egypt, and shall go and sell it throughout the land, he shall die, for no one shall buy but for the support of his household.
And any man leading two or three beasts shall die, for a man shall only lead his own beast.
And Joseph placed sentinels at the gates of Egypt, and commanded them, saying, Any person who may come to buy corn, suffer him not to enter until his name, and the name of his father, and the name of his father's father be written down, and whatever is written by day, send their names unto me in the evening that I may know their names.
And Joseph placed officers throughout the land of Egypt, and he commanded them to do all these things.
And Joseph did all these things, and made these statutes, in order that he might know when his brethren should come to Egypt to buy corn; and Joseph's people caused it daily to be proclaimed in Egypt according to these words and statutes which Joseph had commanded.
And all the inhabitants of the east and west country, and of all the earth, heard of the statutes and regulations which Joseph had enacted in Egypt, and the inhabitants of the extreme parts of the earth came and they bought corn in Egypt day after day, and then went away.
And all the officers of Egypt did as Joseph had commanded, and all that came to Egypt to buy corn, the gate keepers would write their names, and their fathers' names, and daily bring them in the evening before Joseph. | <urn:uuid:73f866e4-0ec8-4f41-9302-fd16f0dbbe79> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.htmlbible.com/jasher/B01C050.htm | 2017-10-23T15:36:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826114.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023145244-20171023165244-00807.warc.gz | en | 0.985699 | 1,801 |
What happened to NewTeeVee? The once popular news site for web series appears to have been wrapped into the main Gigaom web site. The NewTeeVee.com domain now re-directs to http://gigaom.com/video and appears to have a different RSS feed from the original NewTeeVee site. The Gigaom web site retains a sub header for NewTeeVee but it appears that they have decided to move away from the "NewTeeVee brand" toward a more integrated Gigaom new web site.
Hopefully someone at Gigaom or NewTeeVee can clarify what is going on behind the scenes. | <urn:uuid:1c4e6411-c732-433f-9072-f030d4158b61> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.webseriestoday.com/2010/11/newteevee-ends.html | 2014-09-02T18:53:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535922763.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20140909044755-00163-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946934 | 143 |

Human trafficking: Federal Way mom's worst nightmare
Nearly four years ago, Danica Childs disappeared at age 17. Her last known whereabouts: a Kent motel associated with drugs and prostitution.
Dianne Zoro and her children lived in an apartment near 272nd Street and Pacific Highway South — a Federal Way intersection notorious for prostitution activity. Months before vanishing, Danica began dating a man she met on the bus. He was rumored to be a pimp, Zoro learned, and Danica was starting to hang out with “the wrong people.”
In hindsight, that was yet another red flag from her at-risk daughter that Zoro wishes she would have taken more seriously.
Danica had no history of running away. Despite a few behavioral issues, she seemed to be on the right track with high school graduation on the horizon, Zoro said. Shortly before disappearing, Danica was staying out all night.
One day, Zoro and Danica’s friends knew something was wrong. Danica could not be reached and had not called any close friends or family. No one knew her whereabouts. Her purse, coat and phone were found at the Sunset Motel in Kent in December 2007. After listening to voicemail messages on Danica’s phone, Zoro discovered her daughter had been working as a prostitute. Hearing those sexually graphic messages from clients, known as “johns,” was gut-wrenching, she said.
Zoro remains hopeful her daughter will eventually come home to Federal Way. When putting all the pieces together, Zoro believes Danica may have been kidnapped and sold against her will.
“I still believe she’s alive and out there somewhere,” Zoro said. “It gets harder the more time that goes by.”
The past four years have yielded a few dead-end tips, she said. Zoro and volunteers posted fliers across the city and area. Police databases have shown no arrests for Danica, whose fingerprints are on file. No calls were made on her cellphone since its discovery at the Kent motel.
One anonymous caller from South Carolina claimed to know Danica’s location, but nothing came of the tip. The most recent lead came from California this fall after a woman involved in prostitution was found to have an Auburn-based cellphone number.
Authorities once contacted Zoro because a body discovered near Ft. Lewis in Pierce County happened to fit Danica’s profile.
“When I hear about a body of a dead girl, I think about it,” Zoro said. “It’s upsetting to hear from law enforcement that it fits the description.”
Knowing what she knows now, Zoro is even more protective of her other daughters and keeps close tabs on them. She also joined a new Federal Way community action team that’s dedicated to stopping human trafficking and related activities in the Federal Way area. The team is focused on education and assisting law enforcement.
“I’ve wanted to do something about this for a long time,” Zoro said. “Parents need to know it’s basically in every middle school and every high school in Federal Way. … Until it happens to you, you don’t want to believe it.”
The action team is a partnership between Washington Engage, an anti-human trafficking organization, and Women of Vision, a volunteer ministry of Federal Way-based World Vision. Washington Engage is working to establish similar action teams across the state.
A leading expert in human trafficking is Melissa Farley, Ph.D., of Prostitution Research and Education, which is a non-profit organization in San Francisco.
In a 2008 report, Farley concludes that “strongly criminalizing johns is the most effective legal approach” to reducing violence and exploitation against prostitutes. Among other findings in the report:
• Prostitution has moved from the street to the Internet. It is advertised on websites like Craigslist and Backpage. Advertising is also available in phone directories and newspapers. Street prostitution represents a small percentage of prostitution.
• Most prostitution and human trafficking is controlled by organized criminals. Massage parlors often serve as fronts for brothels. A law in Nassau County, N.Y., has allowed police to target landlords who house pimps and traffickers under the guise of massage parlors. Those property owners were subject to charges over code violations and fraudulent lease agreements — which ultimately pressured the property owners to evict law-breaking tenants.
• Sweden adopted a law in 1999 that criminalized those who create and profit from prostitution. This law particularly targets pimps, traffickers and men who buy sex. Since the law went into effect, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare has reported a 50 percent decrease in the number of women in prostitution, and a 75 percent decrease in the number of johns. The law is also credited for reducing organized crime networks in Sweden.
Washington is among the leading states in battling human trafficking.
The state Legislature has been chipping away at human trafficking since 2002, with the creation of a task force and the “Mail Order Bride Act.” In 2003, Washington became the first state to criminalize human trafficking. Since then, a series of laws have addressed restrictions on sex tourism, along with confidentiality and benefits for victims. In 2012, the Legislature will attempt to restrict advertisements for escort services related to underage victims.
Human trafficking is prevalent in Washington because of the state’s ports. The Seattle area ranks among the top in the world for sexual exploitation of minors, according to Genesis Project, an organization dedicated to protecting young women victimized by human trafficking.
Multiple sources cite human trafficking in the top three illegal money-making activities, which include drug smuggling and firearms sales.
Numbers and more
• According to Polaris Project, between 100,000 and 300,000 children are prostituted in the U.S.
• In November 2010, the FBI rescued 69 child prostitutes in 40 U.S. cities; 23 of those children were in the Puget Sound region, according to Washington Engage.

As in last week, this weeks find was from ebay. Actually from the same seller as last week too. After purchasing all the fabulous vintage transfers I was looking through her ebay shop for more when I came across this. I was totally smitten. It was feeding my little laundry obsession perfectly, and for $2, I had to have it.
Look at it! It's so gorgeous! And the cutest thing, the size......
I totally love it! It is made of brass and was made to contain the little pegs and originally had a little clothesline as well, and it was used when travelling to hang up your delicates. I can't believe how something so small is bringing me so much joy!
Go and check out other flea market finds here, but you had better wait until Sunday, I'm just a little early!

I can't seem to focus on just one thing this week. So this photo is exactly how my head is feeling, cluttered and unorganised. I have the apron for the swap to finish, a little bunny who I am just not sure is working the way I want it too, the finishing touch to my peg bag (the baby coat hangers, which will probably feature in this Sundays flea market finds), the little peg guy stitchery from last week all finished ready to be made into a peg bag (yes, you all guessed right!), and some wooden clothes pegs that I picked up from the $2 shop that I am trying to figure out how to age. I tried the coffee and oven trick on one and it came out just dirty looking and reeking of coffee. Anyone have any tips?
For hopefully more well organised spaces, head over to Kirsty's.

This is Jaffa. She is certainly not shy. Most bunnies quietly tell me their names as they are being constructed. Not Jaffa. She was screaming her name at me from the moment I started cutting her out.
She is currently residing at Handmade Heaven, waiting for someone to come and give her a home. I hope she doesn't scare them off, being so boisterous and all.
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Recently I have been asked by a few people where I get my gorgeous chenille, and I thought I wouldn't be greedy and I'll let you all in on the secret. I have found the best seller for vintage chenille on ebay. She has the biggest range you are ever likely to find and her quality is second to none.
She has informed me that she is looking to get into other crafty endeavours and may in fact not be selling chenille for too much longer, so you had better get in quick.
At the moment she is also selling out quite a few spare bits and pieces of chenille that you may not have seen up for sale for quite a while.
Check out Sharon's ebay shop here, and tell her Selina sent you! (well, actually you don't need to tell her that, I'm not getting a kick back or anything for this, just wanted to share the chenille love!)
Oh, I also wanted to say thank you all so much for all your birthday wishes! They really made my day!

This week I'm including an ebay purchase as a flea market find. I think anytime you get a bargain on vintage stuff, that has to be included right?! I got a large packet filled with gorgeous vintage embroidery transfers and I can't wait to use them. This is just a small sample of what I got. That deer one is my favourite, it's rather large and I think it will look fabulous worked in red. I have something else coming from this same seller that I am totally in love with and can't wait to get here, hopefully you'll all see it in next weeks Flea Market Finds.
Oh, and it's my birthday today, so my plan is to sit on the couch with my feet up and get stitchin'. Hope you all have a lazy Sunday planned too!

My laundry obsession has progressed. I've been searching for vintage embroidery transfers with laundry themes and came across this little guy (or gal) over at Floresita's vintage transfer finds blog. Can you guess what he's going to become?
More creative spaces over here.

First up these lounge pants that I cut out last week, but didn't manage to put together until 2 days ago. They are super soft and comfy, and perfect for the mild winter that unfortunately Queensland brings.
Then with the other sheet I decided to refashion my bed of sorts. I'm not much into the whole decorating thing but thought this sheet matched my chenille bedspread perfectly, so I got to it. Yes, pillowcases from vintage sheets! Who would have thought!!
What do you think?
That ugly black bedside thing has been asking for a revamp for quite some time, and in sitting here looking at the photo I just had a major brain wave on what to do with it. Stay tuned....

So I popped into Handmade Heaven yesterday to drop off this gorgeous newly made quilt and pay my monthly rent. When I walked in there were quite a few people in the shop and I noticed several looking at and touching my vintage chenille goodies. I walked past and casually listened in to their conversation, and I am so glad I did! They were saying how gorgeous my quilts were, and how beautiful the chenille was, and how well priced they were, and it made me feel really good. Something I think I have needed for a while. There were other ladies admiring my bunnies and then let me know how much they love them and had come to the store just to see them. I have had a few things brewing in the back of my mind and now I think maybe it's time to get my butt into gear and get going with it. Hopefully if you pop back next week I may just have a few little announcements to make. Thank you for the boost in my self confidence ladies!

This coming Sunday (the 16th of May) Wolston House will be holding an open day for Heritage Week. Gold coin donation entry. Tour the house and grounds, grab a devonshire tea, stay for the sausage sizzle or bring your own picnic lunch. There will even be a couple of craft stalls. It's a great way to spend a lazy Sunday while raising some funds to keep National Trust properties like this one going. I'll be there along with my fabulous Mum, come and say Hi, we'd love to see you there!
P.S. Remember back here I did a photo shoot with Holly, the kinder girl? Well, that was Wolston House, pretty nice hey?!

Using one of the vintage sheets from the other day I'm making some lounge pants. I love this particular pattern, it's a one piece pants pattern. Love them so much more than two piece ones. I guess it's also my first official re-fashion since taking the pledge. There are so many more things I should be doing today, but all I want to do is sew. Is that bad?
Pop over and say hi to Kirsty and all the other creative peeps.
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
There's still time to sign up for the great Australian vintage sheet swap. We would love to have you join in. I had these beauties hanging on the line yesterday in the gorgeous Queensland sun, getting ready to be cut up and thought of a few things to do with them. Stay tuned...

I was having a bit of a clean out of my linen cupboard and once again came across this quilt that I started for my Miss 12....when she was my Miss 2! I can't believe I only have the border quilting and the binding to do! Maybe it's just because I'm not that into country prints anymore....
I really shouldn't let all that fabric go to waste though should I!

Am I breaking the pledge if I get someone else to handcraft something for me with yarn? I'm hoping as we speak that my mother is turning this delicious yarn (25% off at Spotlight) into a spunky little scarf for me. Or am I pushing my luck after that post a couple of days ago?
Monday, May 3, 2010
Ever since I had brought home these canvasses I had the plan to turn one into a chenille clock, I was just worried that it wouldn't work. Well, it did, and here it is. I've entered this one in the "item made from recycled materials" section of the show, of which I came second last year with this entry. Mum and I will be heading off on Thursday to the show to see how we went (yes, my Mum has entered some items too!). Wish us luck!
Sunday, May 2, 2010
So, here I go.....
I, Selina Harding, pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of "new" manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 4 months. I pledge that i shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract. I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovated, recycled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that thy thriftiness brings! Signed, Selina.
Wish me luck!
I had a very successful thrifting week this week! I spent under $20 and I got all this and some very nice pieces for my winter wardrobe. That little jug is probably my favourite, oh and the vintage sewing basket, oh oh and the gorgeous supper cloth and 4 matching napkins....

What are some of the critical customer challenges today? For starters, server and storage sprawl increases operational complexity and reduces business predictability. Next, uncontrolled growth has resulted in lack of: space, power and CRAC capacity.
However, it seems that Blade server architectures can alleviate most of data center resource issues. In this context, if customers consolidate, can the network infrastructure optimally sustain the increased workload? And more importantly, what network technology would make sense for the environment?
I recently managed to speak with Adam Mendoza, Senior Manager, OS Alliances, NetApp, and Joel Reich, GM & Sr. Director, SAN/iSAN Business Unit, NetApp.
They attempted to answer these tricky customer pain points, and also touched upon how end-to-end 10GbE Blade architectures could lower IT infrastructure costs, prevent data center equipment sprawl, and help implement consolidation and virtualization.
For the record, recently, members of Blade.org -- BLADE Network Technologies Inc. (BLADE), a leading provider of network switching infrastructure for blade servers; Chelsio Communications (Chelsio), a leading provider of 10GbE network interface cards for servers and storage; and Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp), a leading provider of storage and data management solutions -- completed a collaborative study through Blade.org!
The study demonstrated that blade servers equipped with embedded 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking can support large-scale business applications at near wire-speeds in consolidated blade server architectures using NetApp Ethernet and IP networked storage.
The study, conducted on the IBM BladeCenter platform, found that by supporting multiple protocols, workloads and integrated data management across a 10GbE network, customers can protect their investment, lower IT infrastructure costs, prevent data center equipment sprawl, and implement consolidation and virtualization without sacrificing flexibility. Here's an image that shows this!
Virtualization a powerful trend
Even though virtualization has been doing the rounds for a couple of years now, it has not exactly reached where it should. On the uptake of virtualization by enterprises, Reich said: "What we've seen is probably for virtualization that VMWare is dominant. There's lot of hype around it.
"In reality, virtualization the most important and powerful trend. It is the real big wave of open system computing replacing maniframe applications. People have become smart and got very good at separating hype from real benefit of technology. Virtualization is not quite there as people are using it to consolidate servers, etc., that are running tier 1 applications."
Reich added that people were having big success in consolidating on virtualization in diverse tier 3 applications hosted on Wintel servers. Also, some tier 2 applications were getting consolidated as well. According to him, applications that don't drive critical revenue or manufacturing process would be the tier 3 applications. Tier 2 applications would include small data warehouses, etc.
He explained: "What's going on now is, lot of the introduction of virtualization was in tier 3 applications. It was opportunistic! Customers didn't have to put in lot of architechture thought into tier 3 and tier 2 apps, but they need to do in tier 1 apps. People also need to see what their data centers need to look like, especially when they move to virtualized environment. Silos are purpose-built spaces dedicated to an application in a data center. You need to have specific skill sets to manage those silos."
Commenting on Blade.org's work, Mendoza, said: "Effectively, when we first became involved with Blade, the intent was to collectively provide solutions end-to-end. NetApp's one of the few storage companies involved. We came up with a concept of characterizing what business critical applications form across multiple protocols. We need to have all different companies and groups collaborate and get the right experts involved. Blade.org gave us the environment and advantage."
As for the survey itself, they said: "We interviewed over 25 companies -- end users from Fortune 500 and channel partners, VARs, etc. We asked -- if we do this project, what are the things they would want to gain out of it?"
The findings were clear. First, this infrastructure could provide very good performance in this kind of consolidated environment. Second -- there has to be a comparison. "We are comparing networking components of 10GigE agianst fiber channel and utilizing different communications protocols," added Mendoza.
Scoring big with 10GbE
Over the last two yrs, 10GbE, customers have been saying that it is an interesting technology, but they didnt see applicability yet. There's also virtualization. So, if customers bring all this together, where will their bottlenecks be?
Adding the next layer of data management perspective, one of the main concerns of consolidation of this hype would be -- what about data protection, DR implementation, etc.? In this respect, NetApp brings the best kind of software that can handle all of those.
Reich added: "We have over 1,500 blade servers at our North Carolina facility. We learned how to manage that many servers. We take applications, data sets, etc., of blade servers, and save them on to the storage network. When concept customers or development teams say that they need something, we can provide that. We have already had the experience of large-scale dynamic environments. At the end of day, this is all applying to what customers want to see. We are collaborating to provide that to customers."
Another important result of the 10GbE has been an increase in the throughput. Mendoza said they provided the results of running these tests. "We did studies across iSCSI, fiber channel, etc. We are better than 2X in our implementation across 10GE."
So, what can be done to get servers consolidated? How can the data center equipment sprawl be reduced? Reich added: "In virtualization implementations, now, we are talking about a single housing that contains 14 servers. If you start virtualizaing over these 14 servers, you get one footprint. Space wise -- 14 servers come into a 3x2 space. In this manner, we reduced server sprawl, network sprawl and storage sprawl." This also has implications as far as power, cooling, etc., are concerned.
As for the 10GbE aspect, Reich said: "In many cases of a virtualized environment, its important to ask -- what's the new data center that I build will look like? People are also looking for information about how the network infrastructure should look like. Their reason: Ethernet is important as a storage interconnect, and that's because most data centers have two networks -- fiber channel or Ethernet."
So, if you can build something that's going to be ready in two years, can a data center be built that only has one type of network? Both, Reich and Mendoza accept that there's much more work to be do as users really need this kind of information.
"This is just the first step. It is such an important topic that there's a very great need for information," Reich said.
Mendoza added: "Our solution can simplify fabric topology in today's datacenters without compromising reliability? The big question that customers have is: why do we need multiple networks? Fabric refers to the network."
He said: "Part of the reason is simplicity and also economic. The way blade centers are built, you can add different connections to a blade center. The standard configuration of a blade center is the Ethernet. The economic considerations are: you can spend lot less money on blade center infrastructure. The Ethernet is the basic offering. That's part of the reason why, we focused on the 10GbE (Ethernet) from a cost standpoint."
Customers are said to be gaining confidence from the results of the solution development collaboration through Blade.org! Virtualization is the next killer application. It would allow a mixed nature of I/O and CPU utilization, add in standard data protection functions, top it off with application and guest OS management, etc. Customers have also indicated that they have deployed upward of 40 guest OS instances on a single server.
It must be noted that Blade server architectures require the same administrative processes: install, configure, customize, manage, optimize, etc. However, consolidation requires whole new approaches to where the data resides and the speed of access -- both in bandwidth and best practices. The 10GbE Blade architectures are the next-generation data center and are ready for business critical implementations. | <urn:uuid:51e95226-45f3-4dfb-b8c0-8d0205b96369> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://pctelecoms.blogspot.com/2007/12/10gbe-blade-architectures-suitable-for.html | 2017-04-23T15:55:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917118713.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031158-00594-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950091 | 1,769 |
SHOULD I RENT A SCOOTER OR CAR IN BALI
This topic is actually dependent on oneself. If you are a solo traveller or a budget conscious traveller trying to save some money at each and every step,then obviously you can rent a scooter at Bali and travel the entire day by yourself. However, if you are a family traveller or someone who's just not interested in all the headaches associated with self driving, then go for booking a car because its not expensive in Bali.
Pros of booking a scooter
1. Cheap and affordable.
2. Escape the notorious Bali traffic jams with relative ease.
3. Travel Independently
Cons of booking a two wheeler:
1. Parking issues.
2. Scams related to booking scooters (Read about it here)
3. You require an international driving license from your home country.
Pros of booking a car with a driver:
1. You are at ease since you don't have to drive. You get more time to enjoy the surroundings.
2. No parking issues. The driver will manage it on his own.
3. No international driving license,other documents necessary.
Cons of booking a car with a driver:
1. Slightly more expensive than a two wheeler. (But still not very much costly)
2. You will surely get caught in the traffic and may have to spend 1 hour to more than 3 hours on the road.
So which mode of travel do you prefer. Leave a comment below.

New sprigs of business green are protruding up along Waldport’s main drag, hopefully reversing a long winter of empty buildings and store fronts.
Ken and Leslie Hohstadt, who used to run the Waldport Moose Lodge, have turned their considerable energies on a store of their own – The Chocolate Frog – right on the southeast corner of Highways 101 and 34. Or Airrow and Hemlock for veteran locals.
Ken Hohstadt said they’ve open just a short time but already they feel welcomed and supported by other businesses on the main throughway as well as by happy customers who obviously love chocolate. But of course who doesn’t?
Hohstadt says they carry a wide variety of chocolates that are quite affordable as well as chocolates for the “expert connaisseurs” of the sweet brown magic that satisfies.
Hohstadt says in addition to chocolates The Chocolate Frog carries yummie candies – including vintage varieties that will hijack your mouth for some heavy duty way-back time traveling.
The Chocolate Frog is also assembling a considerable array of gift items, including collector frogs. Hohstadt says the store is going to fill up even more so than it already is. He said depending on how things go, he and his wife Leslie would like to explore taking over the store space next door on the south side.
Then just a little down the building there’s another new business that’s about to open called Logical Response. It’s being opened by recently retired Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Chris Miller whose business license indicates he will be providing a kind of finishing school for highly motivated officers who want to become more competent with hand to hand combat as well as expert use of firearms. All live firearms training will be done off premises at secure shooting ranges. Miller is expected to draw customers from law enforcement throughout Oregon who want and often need advanced training with courses that span a number of days.
Across 101 and a little farther south, Waldport Drug and Gifts is moving into the old C&K Market which was partially taken over by Pharmacy Express. Pharmacy Express will be teaming up with Waldport Drug and Gifts to secure a Hi School Drug and Variety Store franchise. They’re in the process of making the renovations inside the old market building and anticipate a grand opening fairly soon. Already a “For Rent” sign has gone up on the soon to be former Waldport Drug and Gift store at the corner of Highways 101 and 34.
Just down the street from the future Hi School Pharmacy is a slightly different kind of pharmacy – in fact under state law it’s referred to as a Medical Marijuana Dispensary that was recently opened by Waldport Flea Market owner Pauline Gates, who also happens to be a Waldport City Councilor. Another dispensary is poised to open just south of town across from Range Road.
And finally, we have discovered why the Central Coast has been enjoying so many sunny and almost genuinely warm days in a row. It’s because of this cute little store that just opened called BJ’s Ice Cream, right next door to Fresco Family Restaurant. BJ’s offers up yummy ice cream varieties sure to please everybody. You can even sit outside with family and friends to carry on our nearly month-long tradition of MOSTLY sunny skies!
That’s the news on the main drag of Waldport but a little birdie told us that there’s been some serious roof work done on the storefront building just east of the Chocolate Frog. That could portend a motivated building owner to land a business or two in that particular space which has been empty for a very long time. There’s a ‘For Rent’ sign in the window! That’s a good sign! | <urn:uuid:fb5fc48b-f80f-4d5a-84ba-aadc8a969370> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.newslincolncounty.com/archives/119073 | 2019-08-18T18:13:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027313987.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190818165510-20190818191510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.956648 | 798 |
The PCOS Treatment Answers You Need...
There are countless PCOS treatment options including traditional therapies as well as alternative or natural therapies that will help to reduce or eliminate your PCOS symptoms. The symptoms of PCOS is a signal that your body is out of balance. The goal of the treatment plan you choose is to put your body back in balance.
Upon my initial diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in July of 2002; I went from being healthy and happy to feeling overwhelmed. In just six weeks I gained fifteen pounds. Initially, I took the standard medical approach (traditional), which resulted in countless setbacks and a lot of false hope. During that time I was taking Metformin and Birth Control pills my symptoms got worse; I gained more weight, my periods were sporadic, and my acne was horrible.
So, I started doing a lot of research into Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome especially focusing on the alternative therapies women were using. Alternative therapies such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs like Chaste Tree, or Dong Quai, along with the importance of a healthy diet. These PCOS treatments improve your health by treating the causes of your PCOS instead of just the symptoms.
It's my belief and experience that a lot of doctors do not fully understand the scope of treating Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with the correct treatments. They simply prescribe a medication that will help to reduce your symptoms, but will not fix your problem or cure the cause.
Medical PCOS Treatment Options
Medical treatment options for PCOS typically include birth control pills and/or Metformin.
Taking birth control pills on a regular basis will result in a normal monthly period, be careful in assuming that your period will still occur even if you stop taking the pill. Birth control works while you’re taking it everyday, but rarely promotes regular menstruation in a woman with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome after she stops taking it. Birth control pills do not fix the problem, but rather just produce a false sense of accomplishment. Your body isn't actually getting better.
Metformin or Glucophage is a prescription drug used in the treatment of Diabetes. It helps to control your blood sugar or the amount of glucose in your blood. Since, women with PCOS have issues with Insulin Resistance it’s prescribed as an effective way to lose weight. Taking Metformin can definitely help you lose weight just make sure while taking it to adopt a healthy, PCOS-friendly diet in order to ensure effective, lasting weight loss.
Alternative PCOS Treatment Options
The best approach to treating Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is using various alternative treatment options to correct the underlying problem, the hormonal imbalance. Again these include vitamins, herbs, supplements, acupuncture, healthy eating and exercise.
I believe you will experience the most success by using a balanced approach. The foundation of your success should come from healthy eating, exercise, and effective stress management. Be patient (remember this didn’t happen overnight) adding additional therapies as necessary, so that your body can heal.
Give yourself one to two months of eating healthy, regular exercise, and managing your stress. At that time reevaluate your health, test scores, along with your goals and add supplements, vitamins, herbs, anything your body needs.
Choosing the Right Treatment Plan
A lot of questions and concerns go into choosing the correct PCOS treatment plan. Every woman is different, so it’s important to choose the best one that works for you! Here are a few questions to consider:
- Do you want to lose weight?
- How much time are you willing or can devote?
- What about your lifestyle are you willing to change?
- Are you willing to make countless dietary changes?
- Do you want to get pregnant?
- What are the advantages/disadvantages of each one?
- Which ones do you feel most comfortable with?
Determine the PCOS treatment that is best for you and your lifestyle. Think about changes you can make that will improve your health; what's your goal six months from now and what are you going to do to get there?

Pop quiz: What part of your body is most likely to get injured this year?
Shoulder? Nah. Hip? Guess again. Knee? Aim lower.
The ankle—the lowly, unassuming joint just north of the floor—can cause a ton of problems for athletes: sprains, strains, Achilles tendons tears. And those are just the obvious ones. Tight or weak ankles can also cause poor squatting technique and even knee pain. (Learn more about ankle injuries.)
The problem is poor mobility. For the ankle to work properly, it needs ample plantar flexion (the ability to point your toes) and dorsiflexion (pulling the toes toward your nose). Plantar flexion usually isn't the problem; our lives demand at least a little plantar flexion every day. But except when we're in the gym, we usually never go into dorsiflexion. (Watch Dwyane Wade strengthen his ankles.)
Because we spend most of our days in a plantar flexed position, our Achilles tendon becomes "short." It's the same reason why just about everybody in America has tight hamstrings—we sit with our knees flexed all day, which shortens the muscles on the backsides of our legs. A tight or "short" Achilles is just asking for ankle injuries, knee issues and awful squat mechanics. (See Warm up your Achilles tendon.)
The first step in nearly every ankle-strengthening program should be to improve dorsiflexion mobility. This lengthens the Achilles, making the calf region more flexible.
Perform the following five drills to improve your ankle mobility. Over time, you should notice a difference, and eventually it may even help with knee pain. Each move is a little harder than the last, so take your time and listen to the signals your body sends you throughout.
Self Myofascial Release
You can do this before every training session. Use a foam roller or a PVC pipe to roll out your calf muscles, which loosens up knots in your muscle fascia and increases flexibility. As you roll, you can do simple mobility drills like dorsiflexion holds and ankle circles. Do 10-15 seconds on each side.
Wall Ankle Rocks
This deceptively tiny move can make a big difference in your Squat depth. Perform 10 rocks moving straight ahead and back, 10 knee drives over the pinky toe, and 10 knee drives over the big toe.
Knee Break Ankle Mobilization
By elevating your toes onto plates, you begin this move in dorsiflexion. Push your knees forward over your toes to increase your ankle mobility even further. Try 2 sets of 8 reps.
1/2 Kneeling Ankle Mobilization
This big "bang for your buck" exercise not only works your ankles, it produces some glute activation in your trailing leg. The core will fire and your rear hip flexor will get a nice stretch. Do 2 sets of 12-15 rocks.
1/2 Kneeling Ankle Mobilization With Band
After you've mastered the above drills, add the band for extra resistance. To add an ever greater challenge, place a dowel at the top of your 5th toe and aim to drive your knee outside your ankle. Go for 2 sets of 8-12 reps.

Mark Wahlberg recently shared a picture on his Instagram where he can be seen fully shirtless with his swimsuit-clad wife Rhea Durham. The 49-year-old “Boogie Nights” actor has apparently kept up his fitness routines very well, as he and his wife both look superb.
Wahlberg shared how he spends 5 days a week working out and how he is often pushing his wife to exercise as well. His interviedw with Men’s Health was truly insightful, especially since the actor has been self-quarantining with his family.
“I’m still training five days a week, but now my wife is with me. I feel like I’m a human alarm clock. I’m pushing her to get down there. . . . The rest of the day, I’m eating more and drinking more wine than I normally would.”
Mark also shared how he has basically been maintaining his fitness levels and keeping up with his health while waiting for the opportunity to work normally again without so many social distancing rules and quarantines.
“I’m just maintaining until I get the word that we might be going back to work. Then I’ll get super disciplined again.”
After going to prison for 45 days in his youth, Mark explained how his life took a new direction when he decided to be a better man both in habit and in moral values.
“I got to a point where I said, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,’ I knew the only way I could be successful was by working hard and doing the right thing.”
Mark has tried to pass down his work-out ethic and love for personal improvement to his children, though they aren’t the most enthusiastic.
“The gym was in the exact opposite direction of trouble. You know, it’s funny, because my kids came down to the gym today after the workout and my two sons are super athletic, but they’re like, ‘Oh, Dad, you’re a try-hard. You know, all you want to do is be buff.’ I said, ‘You should be training right now, too. You’re going to want to be in shape later.’”
Mark also shared that he is constantly challenged by his career path. Being an actor in various movies requires that he shift workout goals and sometimes even beat some of his all-time low weight goals to be in the best shape possible.
““The fun thing about my job is that it’s constantly forcing me to challenge myself and change.”
His wife is a big supporter of Mark, and she has been married to him since 2009. They regularly enjoy fun times out and they build their family the best they can. | <urn:uuid:56f07666-c9ea-475d-85d1-39b7e9991cf7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://theblast.com/139388/mark-wahlberg-is-totally-ripped-in-new-pic-with-wife-rhea-durham/ | 2022-01-23T18:20:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123172206-20220123202206-00369.warc.gz | en | 0.988139 | 603 |
What are the Subcommittees?
- Each of the orchestras and the Chorus has a Subcommittee.
- The Subcommittees are responsible for the day-to-day running of the ensemble. They run rehearsals and concerts, plan tours and organise social events.
- Each Subcommittee is chaired by a President who represents the ensemble on the central CUMS Committee. These people are responsible for feeding suggestions and problems to the main Committee. The President of your ensemble is a good place to start if you’ve got any ideas about making the Society better.

Keith and Matt traveled to Dallas to attend the Monday Night Football Game against the Giants. This was Keith’s 50th birthday present from me. I bought the tickets from a friend and he promised to show them a great time….and he did. They got into places they would have never gotten into, saw some pretty important people and had a birdseye view of the game. Keith was disappointed in the final score and that Romo is out for a while with an injury, but I am pretty sure none of that mattered in the end. They had a great time! Keith and Matt could probably tell you more about it than I will be able to, so next time you see them ask about it. | <urn:uuid:13ad8040-4609-49c3-bb67-4c3ab9b87dc6> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://winniechandler.com/2010/11/09/monday-night-football/ | 2018-01-20T20:31:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084889733.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20180120201828-20180120221828-00290.warc.gz | en | 0.991247 | 143 |
•Exodus 22: 20-26 • 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10 • Matthew 22: 34-40•
Weekly Scripture Readings: 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lectionary we currently use in liturgy is far superior to the Pre-Vatican II edition. Yet those who compiled this Lectionary did us a great disservice when the continuous reading of the text is interrupted. Today’s gospel illustrates what I mean.
Our text last Sunday told us people from the court of Herod and disciples of the Pharisees were sent to Jesus with a question about paying taxes. You know how Jesus responded. Matthew then continues telling us “the same day some Sadducees came to him, saying there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question.” Our current Lectionary simply omits all of that and jumps to the text proclaimed here today. “When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.”
When religions lose track of essentials, they easily fall into pious mediocrity or moral hair-splitting. They are then unable to promote a healthy relationship with God and seriously diminish people’s spirituality. That was the Jewish religion in which Jesus lived. There were 613 commandments that had to be obeyed in order to be in full compliance with the Law. This complex web of precepts and prohibitions was a burden for ordinary folks. In the Catholic Church today we are struggling to free ourselves of legalities that burden us. The current bishop of Rome awakens hope among us as he joins us in that struggle.
When the Pharisee asked Jesus a question, he didn’t have to think twice.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.”
Like all pious Jews, Jesus prayed those words daily. They helped him be centered in God.
Then he added something that no one asked him. “Your shall love your neighbor as yourself.” That is to say, “love of neighbor equals love of self.” That is to say, love of neighbor equals love of self.
We are very familiar with all of these words. So our task is to wrestle with them until we find out what and how they apply to us and the way we live in this 21st century, consumerist and militaristic society.
Jesus is clear and precise. Love is everything. Love is the one thing asked of us in life. There is nothing more important than loving God and loving neighbor. The reason is simple. God is love.
The love of which Jesus speaks is not emotional or sentimental. “Love of God” means acknowledging the Ultimate Mystery of life. It means living in accordance with the will of God as best as we can know it. “Love of neighbor” means seeking the good of the other in the same way we seek our own good.
Now how can we consistently love both God and neighbor? I recommend one initial step. Make a vow, take a vow, promise yourself: “in all circumstances I will be a person of non-violence.” Jesus is our model. That was his way of living and acting in history. With such a vow you will commit yourself to speak out firmly and publicly on behalf of love. You will work for the reform of our prisons, the release of non-violent prisoners, the end of solitary confinement and the abolition of capital punishment. You will lobby to redirect military spending into social services that reduce poverty, homelessness and ignorance. By committing yourself to be a non-violent person you will grow in love and become more fully human. You will do far more good for others than you ever dreamed possible. Promise yourself: “in all circumstances I will be a person of non-violence.”
As our Lectionary is now structured we will hear only two more readings from the gospel of Matthew. Throughout this year we have heard about the fire burning in the soul of Jesus of Nazareth. That passion, that fire was his commitment to “the reign of God.” He knew a fully human life is possible only when human beings are able to live with dignity. Love and non-violent resistance of evil are the basic fountains from which “the reign of God” is emerging. | <urn:uuid:b513f9c2-b6bc-4c62-97ab-7340ab1db62d> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://concernedcatholicsmt.org/weekly-homily-from-father-jim-hogan-for-the-30th-sunday-in-ordinary-time-october-26-2014/ | 2017-07-23T10:55:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424549.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20170723102716-20170723122716-00090.warc.gz | en | 0.96771 | 943 |
We often hear that the markets trade on fear and greed and that is doubtlessly true. Rumor has it that amateurs often buy near the top and sell near the bottom. Why would that be? As a stock begins to move up, there often is little hype so only a few are buying. As the price moves upward, there is often more and more buzz so the public becomes aware of the stock and its movement. Many are still reluctant to buy, however, for fear that it will turn down. As it continues up, it is often accompanied by more and more volume. There is more and more hype. Finally, there may even be magazine articles about it; brokers may be cold calling and touting a buy. About then, there is a deluge of buying and the stock soars. Suddenly, however, the volume drys up. All who wanted to get in are in. Someone has to be the last one in and I suggest that those late to the party are jumping in because greed has finally overwhelmed their fear. Of course, the timing is awful.
Now our hypothetical trader has entered a position and wants the stock to go up. He chose that stock and he is emotionally involved. He has no thought that the stock will drop and no plan if it does. In our example, the stock soared just as he entered and volume dryed up. What do you suppose will happen to the price of the stock. Well, there are no more buyers at that high price so, in order to sell, the sellers must take a little less or sometimes a lot less. What is our friend doing now? I suspect he is worrying, and that makes him a grim buy and hold investor. He's in so he'll hold the position. As I asked in an earlier Article, hold the position until when? Until he dies? Maybe, but more likely until the fear once again rules his trading. As the stock drops, the drop is also often accompanied by increasing volume. Those who got in early are taking profits. Finally, those who got in late are making the argument to themselves: "I'll get out if only it goes back to 'x'." But it just keeps dropping and as it falls on high volume our trader sells. Why? Probably because he is afraid (fears) that it will fall some more. About that time, our trader sells. Now what? The sellers are gone. Everyone who wanted out is out so what will happen next?
Is that scenario a figment of my imagination or have you ever traded that way? Have you ever bought near the top and sold near the bottom? If you have, how did you arrive at your decision making? Have you seen others trade that way? Why did they do that?
As I have often opined, emotion is the serious enemy of the trader. I suggest that successful traders have made every decision before they ever enter a position. For example, if one is going to enter a trade because the stock is trending up, can you see any reason to stay in the trade if the uptrend is broken. If the trend is broken, the stock is no longer in an uptrend. Why would a trader want to continue to own a stock that is going down?
Before a trader buys that stock, couldn't he decide that he buy it because it looks like it is going up, but if it turns down below the trend, sell it. Notice I suggested he could make those decisions before buying the stock. Now is there any emotion involved in getting rid of the stock? No, as long as it stays above the uptrend line, the trader rides it up. When it breaks (or closes below) the trend, he sells. Now, the decision is relatively easy and unemotional. It certainly doesn't mean the trader will never lose; he will. There is no perfect trading system and all will have losses. One of the keys to successful trading is to cut losses. If the trader sells on a break below an uptrend has he cut losses? Another key to success is to let profits run. If the trader stays in until the trend is broken has he let profits run? Has he done that without emotion? Can each of those decisions be made before ever entering the position?
Discipline is critical and it is tough to discipline oneself in the heat of battle unless a plan has been formulated ahead of time. As has often been said, plan your trade and trade your plan. One of the problems I have often seen with people who have come to my classes is that they do well when they practice trade or paper trade. They have a plan and follow it, but when they start to use real money, they forget their own plan and their own rules. Can you guess what happens when they abandon the plan that was so successful when paper trading? Sometimes they forget money management and after several good trades "bet it all on black." Guess what happens then. "Betting it all on black" or XYZ stock is purely the product of greed. It is unlikely that a seasoned trader would do that. Sometimes, they plan their trade to have an exit at a specific place, but when the stock drops below they hang on saying to themselves: "It'll come back." Sometimes it does come back, but why tie up money with a stock that you want to go up is going down?
Refer back to my Article on the business plan if you want. Make your own plan. Continue your education. It's your money and it's your risk. Continue to learn as much as you can about discipline, about strategies, about yourself and about how to remove the emotion from trading.

The UK's Lancashire police force is experimenting with using Amazon Echo to broadcast police reports and for crime reporting.
Building a slide deck, pitch, or presentation? Here are the big takeaways:
- The Lancashire police force in the UK is researching ways to use Amazon Echos to provide police reports to residents as well as allow them to report crimes to Alexa.
- While this could improve public safety, privacy and security are also a concern.
A UK police force may have a new partner in crime fighting: Alexa, the digital assistant from Amazon.
Lancashire police officers are researching an integration with the digital assistant that would allow the force to send out crime bulletins to residents, such as missing persons reports, wanted suspects in the area, and the number of officers currently on duty, according to a TechSpot report. The integration could also be used for internal communications, such as to update officers on daily crime logs or breaking incidents.
However, the most interesting potential usage would directly involve residents, allowing victims and witnesses to report crimes directly to the police via their Amazon Echo--another example of how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can potentially free up human workers like police to do more complex work.
SEE: Incident response policy (Tech Pro Research)
"If we can reduce demand into our call centers via the use of voice recognition or voice-enabled technology and actually give the community the information they need without them needing to ring into police then that's massive," Rob Flanagan, the Lancashire force's innovation lead, told the College of Policing conference, according to TechSpot.
While benefits may include more convenient crime reporting and saving public resources, privacy concerns abound, as noted by our sister site ZDNet. If sent out or received through the Echo, crime reports both in and out of the police department would be stored on Amazon servers. This could especially be an issue when it comes to reporting crimes anonymously, ZDNet noted, and will be an issue the police force has to address.
This isn't the first time Alexa has been implicated in law enforcement. In January 2017, police investigating a murder in Bentonville, AR, filed a search warrant asking Amazon to provide "electronic data in the form of audio recordings, transcribed words, text records and other data" from the Echo.
Amazon refused to provide the information from its servers, but the case highlighted the privacy issues associated with always-on devices, Joel Reidenberg, founding academic director of the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham University, told TechRepublic at the time.
The case also signalled that personal assistants and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can record conversations will likely be targets for subpoena in civil litigation going forward, Reidenberg said.
Since Gartner predicts that more than half of major new business processes and systems will incorporate some element of IoT by 2020, enterprise users must be especially wary of what devices are deployed in their office, and when they are appropriate to have in the room--especially with the release of Alexa for Business.

Dr. Palano at Diablo Hills Dental Excellence understands that going to the dentist can be a stressful experience for some people. That's why he offers the option of sedation dentistry. With sedation dentistry, Dr. Palano will use both oral sedation and nitrous oxide to allow you to slip easily into a deeply relaxed and calm state. This will allow you to be much more comfortable during your treatment.
You should consider "deep relaxation dentistry" if:
- Anxiety or fear are keeping you from seeking dental care
- You have not had good dental experiences in the past
- You have difficulty getting numb
- You have a severe gag reflex
- You have a need for complicated dental treatment
- Longer and fewer visits are better for your busy schedule, but long visits are difficult to sit still for.
With sedation dentistry, you can relax through your dental appointment and leave refreshed, with little memory of the experience. Complex dental treatments that require multiple appointments can often be completed in as little as one or visits - all while you relax in the capable and caring hands of the Diablo Hills Dental Excellence team. Sedation dentistry is considered a safe and effective way to reduce the fatigue and stress of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
At Diablo Hills Dental Excellence, you can experience total comfort while your teeth are restored and your smile improved. Please contact our Dentist, Dr. Palano today to schedule your free initial sedation dentistry consultation in our office serving Antioch, California.
An alternative method used to ensure that our patients have a relaxed and comfortable dental experience is oral conscious sedation. For oral sedation, the patient will be prescribed a medication that they take by mouth prior to their appointment. With this, the patient may be sleepy but can be aroused if necessary and can respond to simple commands.
Another option for our patients who want to experience dentistry in a more relaxed state is nitrous oxide or "laughing gas". It eases their fears so they can relax and receive treatment comfortably. As the gas begins to work the patient becomes calm, but is still awake and can communicate. When the gas is turned off the effects of sedation wear off almost immediately so our patients leave our office in the same state of awareness as they arrived.
Our office provides everything you need to achieve the beautiful, natural look you seek. You will receive the care you deserve at our office that is easily accessible with convenient hours.

Now that the 2011 MLB baseball season is over for most teams, GM's and front offices are taking close looks at their teams to see which positions they'll need to focus on upon entering the offseason. Although there are many good free agent batters this season, the free agent pitching class in not very strong, and if you miss out on C.J Wilson or Mark Buehrle, then you better look to make a trade if you want to try to improve your rotation. A lot of players who were put on the trade market before the deadline will be on the market again, and a lot of teams will be looking to unload big salaries. Here are the top 10 potentially available pitchers this offseason.
Contract Information: Arbitration Eligible ($4.8 million in 2011)
2011 Stats: 101.1 IP, 4-7, 4.26 ERA
Jonathan Sanchez had a great year in 2010; he had a career high in almost every category. However, Sanchez battled injuries and was placed on the DL twice in 2011, and when he was healthy he didn't exactly pitch like the No. 3 pitcher he is supposed to be. Sanchez has been considered to be the most easily movable player from San Francisco's rotation, and with the Giants having missed the playoffs in 2011 they may want to make a move to improve their lineup. Sanchez didn't have a great season, but he is still worth a decent player in return and has the ability to be a No. 3 starter in a lot of MLB rotations, if not a No. 2 in some.
Contract Information: Signed through 2013, Two years/$20.5 million
2011 Stats: 206 IP, 10-12, 4.67 ERA
Ricky Nolasco had the first losing season of his career this year, and he also gave up an NL leading 244 hits. Probably the only good thing that came out of his season was the fact that he was able to stay healthy and log more than 206 innings in 33 starts, as opposed to last season when he was shut down in August with a knee injury. The right-handed pitcher is owed $9 million in 2012, and the Marlins could be looking to unload his salary in order to make room for free agents such as Mark Buehrle. Florida will most likely look to get a low-end starter or prospects out of him. Nolasco still has potential to be a good player. He is already the Marlins all-time strikeout leader, and he could still be a good No. 3 starter in a lot of rotations in the league.
Contract Information: Signed through 2012, One year/$15 million.
2011 Stats: 187 IP, 9-17, 5.05 ERA
Derek Lowe is continuing to decline each season, and after this season where he led the NL with 17 losses it looks like he will be looking at retirement sometime in the next few years. Right now, the Braves owe Lowe $15 million next season, and because the Braves have a rotation featuring Hudson, Jurrjens, Minor and Beachy, Lowe is no longer needed or wanted. The Braves will take anything as long as they get rid of Lowe. The only problem is, the chances of a team being interested in Lowe are slim.
Contract Information: Signed through 2013, Two years/$23.5 million
2011 Stats: 199 IP, 9-12, 5.07 ERA
Last offseason the Reds decided to give Bronson Arroyo a three-year extension because he had been doing so well. After this season, they realize that what they did was a huge mistake. Arroyo was coming off two seasons in a row of more than 200 innings pitched, at least 15 wins and a sub 3.90 ERA. This year, his HR/9 innings is a career worst, his 10.3 Hits/9 innings is the worst since his rookie season and he had a plus 5.00 ERA for the first time since his sophomore season in 2001. His 46 home runs were the most given up by any NL pitcher. While he may not have another season where he finishes 12th in Cy Young voting like he did in 2010, he may still bounce back to a decent middle of the rotation pitcher, and the Reds could probably find a team interested in him. As for the Reds, it would be best for them to unload his salary to make room for their younger rising players.
Contract Information: Third year Arbitration Eligible ($5.75 Million in 2011)
2011 Stats: 208 IP, 9-17, 4.33 ERA
Guthrie was a player who seemed to be on the trading block mid-season, and he may be up for grabs yet again. Although there are some who say that Guthrie is very much a part of Baltimore's plans, not many people are buying it. Don't let Guthrie's record deceive you. He didn't have a terrible season. Although most categories were worse than 2010, he had a decent 4.33 ERA, a 1.341 WHIP and walked fewer than three batters per nine innings for the fifth straight season. He is a good price for any team; he only made $5.75 million in 2011. Although he is aging, he is still young enough to consistently perform at his current level for a few more years before he starts his decline. Baltimore could get a decent trade out of Guthrie, and even if they aren't going out of their way to trade him they will listen to offers.
Contract Information: Third year Arbitration Eligible ($4.3 Million in 2011)
2011 Stats: 134.1 IP, 9-10, 5.09 ERA
Minnesota's pitching struggled much more than expected this year. Opening Day starter Carl Pavano went 9-13 with a 4.30 ERA, Brian Duensing was 9-14 with a 5.23 ERA, Kevin Slowey was out most of the season and Liriano had a disappointing season. Liriano came off a great 2010 season where he had a 14-10 record with a 3.62 ERA. He looked like he could become the ace of the staff one day. But this season, he collapsed. His ERA and WHIP went up substantially, he walked 17 more batters in two-thirds as many innings as last year, and he had a few small injuries that limited him to 134 innings. Liriano probably won't re-sign in Minnesota after 2012, so the Twins should make a move for a trade now, and should get decent players in return and free up some cap space to use for re-signing other players they wish to use in their future plans.
Contract Information: One year/$3 million left
2011 Stats: 154 IP, 12-11, 4.79 ERA
Don't let Kevin Correia's all-star appearance this season fool you. The fact that he was an all-star doesn't describe his full season. Between July 3 and August 19, he went 1-5 with an 8.12 ERA in just nine starts before he fell to an injury that would keep him out for the rest of the season. His performance after the All-Star Break was horrendous, and he was looking like one of the worst pitchers in the league, logging only 41 innings in those nine starts. He also had a career low 4.5 Ks/9 innings. On the bright side, he would be cheap and wouldn't take much in a trade. Hopefully his second half performance was only a slump, but it's always hard to tell how he'll recover from a bad stretch of games and an injury, and trading for Correia could be a risk. At least you know you wouldn't blow too much money on him if he doesn't perform well next season.
Contract Information: Second year Arbitration Eligible ($12 million in 2011)
2011 Stats: 202 IP, 13-16, 3.07 ERA
Kuroda had another good season this year, logging more than 200 innings and posting a career best 3.07 ERA. By the time his current contract expires and he becomes a free agent in 2014, he most likely will not be playing at his current level and will demand a smaller contract. But for now, he probably wants to stay near L.A., and because of his age and expensiveness most teams will look elsewhere for a middle of the rotation starter like Kuroda.
Contract Information: Two years/$23 million left ($13 million team option for 2014; becomes player option with a trade)
2011 Stats: 191 IP, 11-11, 3.49 ERA
Wandy Rodriguez is one of the more appealing names on this list of pitchers. He enjoyed his fourth straight season of a sub 4.00 ERA and is almost always able to stay healthy enough to get 30 starts. He has certainly proved that he can play at his current level at a consistent basis, and a lot of teams would be interested in getting him. The Astros would expect a couple of top notch prospects for Rodriguez, as they showed in August when Colorado almost claimed Rodriguez off trade waivers and the Astros pulled him back because they weren't offered prospects Wilin Rosario or Drew Pomeranz. Sure, the Astros would like to get a few good prospects and unload his large salary, but as they showed with the Rockies, they won't go out of their way to trade him for just anything.
Contract Information: One year/$18 million left ($19.25 million vesting option for 2013)
2011 Stats: 145 IP, 9-7, 4.82 ERA
Carlos Zambrano had the worst season of his career this year. He had an ERA over 4.00 for the first time since his rookie year (in which he only pitched seven innings). His strikeouts were down, his home runs and hits allowed were up, and he also missed games with injuries and suspensions along the way to round out his season into an amazing disappointment. The Cubs have made it clear that they don't want any part of Zambrano and are looking to trade him. But even if the Cubs eat most of the salary, what team is looking to get a headache both on the field and in the locker room by trading for this guy? It looks like there are some takers in Florida. New coach Ozzie Guillen has been talking on the phone to Big Z and is trying to convince him to leave Chicago and come to Miami. Even if the Cubs get rid of Zambrano, I don't believe they can expect too much in return. Maybe the two teams will come to a bad contract swap and base a trade around Big Z and Nolasco. But it definitely looks like Zambrano without a doubt won't be on the Cubs roster next season. | <urn:uuid:3b43e3b8-0ab5-47a7-8bd8-eeb3c69581c3> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/895663-10-mlb-pitchers-potentially-available-this-offseason | 2015-03-05T15:33:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936464193.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074104-00255-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986513 | 2,206 |

There’s a time when old traditions need to die, a time for new traditions, and a time when old traditions can be reborn with new meaning.
In years past, I have always felt a little lonely during the holidays. I wished I had a big, happy family that didn’t live so far apart, so we could all come together and eat a lot of food, play games, and exchange stories.
My husband and I are usually invited to a relative’s home each Thanksgiving, and we’ve always gone, but this year I did an uncomfortable thing and turned down the invitation. It’s because I began to think about what kind of memories I want to create for my two boys.
Except for my dad and step-mom, we rarely see our Georgia relatives during the year, so for my boys, it would almost be like visiting a stranger’s house on the holiday. What do I really want for them? I want them to remember the holidays in their childhood home with their loved ones.
So this year we’re going to have a cozy Thanksgiving at home, and we’ll make a big meal (big to us, that is), and we’ll start the tradition of stating what we’re thankful for at the dinner table.
This time of year has got me thinking about family traditions in general too. A few years ago, I had a conversation with my brother (who is also starting his family) about how we need to create our own family traditions, especially since so many of our traditions were blurred by divorce and moving from state to state.
Shortly after having that conversation, my brother and sister-in-law sent me some books about creating family traditions as a Christmas gift. The Book of New Family Traditions by Meg Cox and Together Creating Family Traditions by Rondi Hillstrom Davis and Janell Sewall Oakes are beautiful books that have given me many good ideas.
Yet I’m aware that the best traditions spring forth spontaneously. I have to be careful about stating, “Here is a new tradition we are going to start…” What if I’m the only one on board that boat? Traditions need to be something the whole family enjoys.
We all have traditions whether we realize it or not. Religions give us many of our traditions. My family follows the Christian traditions of observing Christmas and Easter, and we’ll continue to do so. Traditions can also be unique to each family.
In The New Book of Family Traditions, I read about a family that every month during the full moon, they go outside and roast marshmallows in the moonlight. By coincidence, my family took a moonlit walk the other night. We showed our son where Jupiter was and looked for constellations. It was so much fun, I’m wondering if I could make that happen every month. (Or almost every month?)
Traditions can be simple daily exercises. Some people say grace before mealtimes; others enjoy a slow cup of coffee in the mornings (that’s me). Come to think of it, I have already started the ritual of telling my five-year-old a story every night. Even if I feel uninspired and tell him a boring tale, he seems to love it, and I know that somehow this is imparting my love and beliefs to him.
And this is what traditions do at their best: They give a family or community a reason to come together and share their love and commonality with each other. This in turn gives an individual a sense of belonging. I want my boys to feel that being part of this family is important. When life gets tough I want them to have a place to come to and feel loved.
This is why we’ll have Thanksgiving and Christmas at home from now on, and I’ll be looking for ways to expand our old traditions, making them more meaningful to us. I’ll also be thinking about new traditions I can add throughout the year.
What are your traditions? Old or new? I would love to hear what your family does because it may give me ideas for my own. Please leave me a comment. And in the future, I’ll write about what kinds of traditions we have started or renewed.
