CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – A proposed ethane cracker plant in Wood County likely would have to comply with a state regulation aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions from major industrial facilities.
Adopted in 2011, the regulation requires the Department of Environmental Protection to determine, when reviewing air pollution permits, whether such facilities would use the best available technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The threshold to qualify as a “major source” of greenhouse emissions is 100,000 tons per year.
Air quality officials with the DEPT met with representatives of Brazilian petrochemical giant Odebrecht last week to begin discussing the project, the Charleston Gazette reported Sunday.
“It’s going to be a difficult permitting process,” John Benedict, the DEP’s air quality director, told the newspaper.
Joe Kessler, a DEP air quality engineer, said it is difficult for agency officials to say what they might require of a cracker plant, without an air pollution permit application in hand.
“We want to know a little bit about what we’re really looking at,” Kessler told the newspaper.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced in November that Odebrecht is exploring the possibility of building a cracker plant and three polyethylene plants in Wood County.
The plants would be located at a complex in Wood County known as Ascent, which stands for Appalachian Shale Cracker Enterprise. Odebrecht has not said how large the proposed cracker plant would be or what potential pollution it might create.
“Protecting the quality of our land, our air and our water is a priority for us as community partners,” Odebrecht spokesman Chuck Glazer said in statement issued to the newspaper. “Our approach will be to use best practices and to work closely with the appropriate local, state, interstate and federal authorities to be sure that our facility is constructed and operated to satisfy all applicable regulatory and permitting requirements.”
The Washington-based Environmental Integrity Project said last week that companies nationwide have proposed or obtained 95 Clean Air Act permits for new compressors, pipelines and other major facilities since January 2012 as a result of a boom in natural gas production.
“It’s important that we understand the full climate change picture when it comes to America’s shale gas boom and the related tradeoffs,” EIP director Eric Schaeffer said.
“As natural gas replaces coal as the fuel of choice for electric power plants, greenhouse gas emissions from that sector will decline, since gas releases less than half as much carbon as coal per kilowatt of electricity generated,” Schaefer said. “But the data suggest that declining CO2 emissions from the electric power sector will be partially offset by higher emissions from other industries cashing in on cheap and abundant supplies of oil and gas from shale deposits.” | <urn:uuid:b03802aa-407c-4107-a54c-be3f36cd5c65> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.observer-reporter.com/article/20131208/NEWS05/131209445 | 2016-04-29T14:12:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111365.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00151-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954035 | 601 |

the waterwheel plant
Aldrovanda vesiculosa (the only species of the genus) is a very strange and amazing carnivorous plant. Once common throughout almost the whole "old world" it has now vanished to few places in India, Japan, Africa, Australia and Europe. It hasn't been recorded in Germany since 1986.
Aldrovanda is a rootless plant floating below the surface of small waterponds which get quite warm during summer. Aldrovanda prefers water which is very low in nutrients and and this is the main reason why it has become so rare in our agricultural dominated environment.
Some years ago the plant was very rare and thought to be extremly difficult in cultivation (Carow&Wrono, Braem, D'Amato). But with improved cultivation techniques the plant is relativly easy to maintain and propagate.
There are several types of Aldrovanda in cultivation, two Australian types (green and red), a Japenese clone and one from Poland (East Europe). I have grown the temperate clones from Poland and Japan which are building turions if the daylenght gets shorter and the water temperature lower in autumn. In nature the turions will sink to the bottom of the lake where water temperature will be 4°C during the period of freezing.
It is posible to grow Aldrovanda with avarage water temperatures of 25°C during summer and 10°C during winter. The plants are growing well and are dividing several times but they never flowered for me. It seems that they need higher temperatures between 30° to 35°C to flower.
The most important thing in cultivation of Aldrovanda is the water quality. The water should be only slightly acid (PH 6-7) and low in nutrients. But Aldrovanda needs some a high concentration of tanins and some minerals to grow well, especially Boron. I grow Aldrovanda in a small aquarium and use a mixture of loam, peat, dead reet leafes and pieces of broken clay pots as a ground cover. When this soil brakes down it releases carbon dioxid and minerals which Aldrovanda needs.
I also put in some living reet plants which will reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphor in the water.
Finaly I add some water snails which will feed on the growing alges and are extremly helpful in controlling this "pest" which otherwise would overgrow and kill the Aldrovanda plants.
At the beginning of winter 2001 my Aldrovanda turions have accidetly been facing a freezing night with temperatures down to -7°C. They had been out of the water, lying on moist ground. All of them survived and started growing as usual in spring 2002.

Veteran State-of-the-Union watchers had to be struck the other night by the sharp break from the visible partisanship of the past, wherein members of the President's party would customarily rise together to applaud his remarks while the opposition would sit silently and separately, glued to their seats.
Part of the phenomenon obviously was the voluntary agreement of many members to buy into the suggestion of Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado to put their party identifications aside for the night and mingle, rather than sitting as partisan blocs on opposite sides of the House chamber.
The togetherness came on the heels of the plea for greater civility from President Obama and others after the Tucson shooting, which launched debate over what role vitriolic rhetoric may have played in fueling the incident. Members of Congress of both parties wore ribbons honoring the most prominent victim, Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, whose seat was symbolically left empty.
The visual result of the mixed seating was a much less discernible partisan response to the various points in Obama's speech. House and Senate members in disregard of party often rose and applauded together at appropriate moments across the House chamber.
Some uncooperative members, mostly Republicans, sat with their party mates, resisting the one-night stand with their political rivals. They made a point of remaining seated when Obama made a proposal that didn't appeal to them, which was their right. But gone was the jarring view of partisan dichotomy of the past -- one side blisteringly cheering or jeering, the other stonily still.
But beyond the harmonious seating, the tone and substance of Obama's speech itself offered relatively few opportunities for pure partisan cheerleading or vocal displeasure. This State of the Union Address was much more in the nature of a pep rally for the renewal of the American spirit across party lines.
Obama pitched for more governmental support for technical innovation, education and physical infrastructure as part of an intensified focus on job creation. But he cast such new spending, anathema to most Republicans in Congress, as sensible "investment" that could not be avoided if America's leadership in the world was to be maintained.
Comparing the present challenge with the beginnings of the space age in the 1950s and 1960s, when that leadership was joltingly challenged by the Soviet Union's launch of its Sputnik vehicle, Obama played on simple patriotism to make his case. While he agreed with the Republicans on the imperative of deficit reduction, he argued that it had be done "in a responsible way," so as not to stall the economic recovery.
In this and his other proposals, the president offered no occasion for open and offensive rebuke of the sort that last year had inspired one Republican House member to call out that "You lie!" from the solid GOP contingent amassed on one side of the aisle.
Even the many new members representing the tea party, who came to Washington vowing to challenge the old go-along mentality in the Republican ranks, sat politely through what essentially was a benign Obama tutorial that what the country needed was less sharp-edged partisanship.
Once more, as in the past, the first lady's gallery held public citizens invited to mark their special contributions to the national well being, including heroes of the Tucson shooting and of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But contrary to past practice, none was signaled out to stand as a prop for the political benefit of the incumbent president.
Obama deftly capitalized on the climate for a more temperate tone in public discourse with a speech full of gestures toward the opposition party. It seemed to disarm its more vocal critics, who before the heavy television coverage were not likely to disturb the aura of good feeling generated by the staged togetherness.
Now, however, comes the hard part of governing in the more hostile political circumstances of a divided Congress. More than Obama's words, his perceived move to a more centrist posture may determine whether the bipartisanship that eluded him in most of his first two years will be any more achievable in the next two.

Your credit score of the future could be based upon your web history. According to researchers at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), lenders may soon be able to pull data from your browsing, search and purchase history.
This undertaking would be done with the aim of creating a more detailed credit score.
Research done by the IMF demonstrates that when lenders incorporate both your credit score and “digital footprint” — your browsing, search and purchase history — that it “further improves loan default predictions.”
The IMF isn’t the only group to come to such a vaguely dystopian but unsurprising conclusion. The Frankfurt School of Finance & Management conducted a similar study in 2018.
That research showed “the digital footprint allows some unscorable customers to gain access to credit while customers with a low-to-medium credit score can either gain or lose access to credit depending on their digital footprint.”
Now, there are some clear disadvantages to allowing your digital footprint to be semi-public in this fashion, but there are also a couple of advantages.
One recent example of an advantage comes courtesy of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mortgage rates keep hitting record lows.
This, has in turn, caused some lenders to become much, much more selective about who can get record low loan rates.
Many perhaps have missed a credit card or a loan payment during the lockdowns, which then lowers what is the traditional credit score.
Under this proposed new, comprehensive credit score, lenders would be able to look at your browsing and purchase history to gauge your trustworthiness, even if your credit score is no longer perfect.
An Internet based, more comprehensive credit check could also help people that have had trouble getting credit in the past.
According to the Frankfurt study, there is “suggestive evidence that digital footprints can have the potential to boost financial inclusion for the two billion adults worldwide that lack access to credit.”
Now there are certainly drawbacks to this proposed credit score based on your web history, the biggest drawbacks being privacy and security.
The IMF acknowledges them in their study saying, “the increasing use of private data for financial services also raises a myriad of consumer protection and privacy issues that require the government to set standards for data collection and use.”
The IMF study later refers to this as an “efficiency-privacy trade-off.”
Then there are the fair lending rules that exist in the United States. The fair lending rules state that lenders may not use gender or race when deciding whether or not to finance a borrower.
It seems very likely that a lender would be able to determine a person’s race or gender once they have access to your digital footprint. That in turn could become a huge obstacle to clear, even for those in favor of the new, comprehensive credit score. | <urn:uuid:0c172b84-9f8c-4fc3-bb92-df314063ebcb> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://realdaily.com/delete-your-browser-history-if-you-care-about-your-credit-score/ | 2021-05-12T18:46:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989766.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210512162538-20210512192538-00124.warc.gz | en | 0.958955 | 580 |

The gods have heard, the gods have heard my prayer;
Yes, Lyce! you are growing old, and still
You struggle to look fair;
You drink, and dance, and trill
Your songs to youthful Love, in accents weak
With wine, and age, and passion. Youthful Love!
He dwells in Chia's cheek,
And hears her harp-strings move.
Rude boy, he flies like lightning o'er the heath
Past wither'd trees like you; you're wrinkled now;
The white has left your teeth
And settled on your brow.
Your Coan silks, your jewels bright as stars,
Ah no! they bring not back the days of old,
In public calendars
By flying Time enroll'd.
Where now that beauty? where those movements? where
That colour? what of her, of her is left,
Who, breathing Love's own air,
Me of myself bereft,
Who reign'd in Cinara's stead, a fair, fair face,
Queen of sweet arts? but Fate to Cinara gave
A life of little space;
And now she cheats the grave
Of Lyce, spared to raven's length of days,
That youth may see, with laughter and disgust,
A fire-brand, once ablaze,
Now smouldering in grey dust.

The Over Wyre & Garstang Focus magazines trade as “Focus Magazines” and each is affectionately locally known as “The Green Book” due to their distinctive green covers.
The Over Wyre Focus was launched in November 1999 followed by the Garstang Focus in September 2000.
The magazines have gone from strength to strength becoming well established within the communities they serve with home deliveries made to just under 10,000 homes on the first weekend of each month.
The Over Wyre Focus home delivery area comprises Hambleton, Stalmine, Knott End on Sea, Preesall and Pilling. The Garstang Focus home delivery area comprises Scorton, Cabus, Garstang, Bonds, Bowgreave, Catterall, Churchtown and St Michaels on Wyre.
These well established magazines contain interesting community event information, supplied to us each month by the press secretaries of the various clubs, groups and societies. Membership of clubs and societies is obviously key to the finances of these groups and to the work that they do and we have very positive feedback from them that Focus plays a significant role in supporting them.
If you are an event organiser for a local club or society or if you have a charity fund raising event planned then make sure you let us know about it.
If you are a local business or trades person, you can use us with confidence, knowing that your advertisements will regularly reach the people you need - the local residents! | <urn:uuid:7f1f2c45-18be-4080-a8fb-2292c0d383b5> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.focusmags.co.uk/aboutus.htm | 2018-07-20T14:34:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591683.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720135213-20180720155213-00169.warc.gz | en | 0.955221 | 305 |
The pastors put their time and heart into making sermons for people that can help them make a difference in their lives. However, it can sometimes become difficult for them to get people’s attention to their words. Many times the people at church lose interest in the words of the pastors and their minds wander around. It can get frustrating to see people not care about the knowledge they can get to help themselves connect to the Holy Spirit. We have put down a list that will help pastors to deliver their sermons with people’s utmost attention to their words.
These tips are proven to be beneficial according to neuroscience and will help pastors to make their lectures interesting for people.
Setting the right mood
It is scientifically proven that when people feel food, they are able to pay more attention to what is happening around them. They are less vulnerable to any distractions around them and can dedicate more focus on the thing they want to do. The pastors can take simple steps to cheer people up in a bright day instead of heading directly to the sermons. This will give them time to ease down on their seats and pay attention to what their pastor has to say next. A good humorous start can be one easy way to put them in a good mood to listen.
Balance the sermons
If the sermons are too complicated from the beginning to end, it will be hard for people to concentrate on them. They will face trouble in grasping every point in the sermon if the pastor keeps throwing heavy information towards them. The pastor should create a balance of highs and lows in their lecture so that people get time to rest their brains in-between. Adding stories, points, and examples will keep the young and adult minds attentive without tiring themselves.
Build up to important points
A pastor should develop the skill to give a speech that can first get the listener’s attention, make it curious, and deliver the answer. The human brain does not accept just any information without a context. Pastors should invest time in framing their sentences with curiosity before they put the important information. Build each point to a point when people become curious to know and only then fire the information.
Add novelty to sermons
A pastor should not hesitate to add examples that get the people interested. Sometimes people can get bored of the preachings when they are indoors. In such cases, the pastor should take a step and move the group to a different location to continue preachings. Surprising them with new things will keep them entertained during the lecture, and their minds will stay in the right place.
Make it relevant
People need to connect with the lectures on a personal level. If it is about something that they can relate to, they will be more interested in knowing more. The pastor should connect the dots of their sermons to people’s lives so they can understand the topics better. | <urn:uuid:708ff9b0-ef88-4258-b196-e46c7d16f287> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://www.homelie.info/how-to-get-peoples-attention-to-your-sermons/ | 2021-04-16T23:31:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038092961.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20210416221552-20210417011552-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.962529 | 581 |

Body of firefighter killed near Yosemite is retrieved from steep ravine near Yosemite
MARIPOSA, Mariposa County — Crews on Monday extracted the body of a firefighter from a steep ravine that his bulldozer had rolled into days ago as he fought a wildfire west of Yosemite.
The body of 36-year-old Braden Varney, a 10-year-veteran with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, remained in a mesh of mangled metal for three days in a site near El Portal that was too remote for bulldozers and too precarious to allow an immediate extraction.
Firefighters from Cal Fire Local 2881 had been standing sentinel over their colleague’s body, coming and going in shifts, hiking in and out of the remote niche, in a revolving honor guard. On Monday, Cal Fire said it recovered the body with assistance from California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 5.
A procession to transport the body to the Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office was expected to begin at 3 p.m., and members of the public wishing to pay respects to the firefighter were invited to line the travel route..
Varney is survived by his wife, 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.
Cal-OSHA and Cal Fire are investigating the accident.
Varney, a heavy equipment operator, had been assisting Sierra National Forest crews on Friday by building a fire break on a steep, inaccessible ridge to protect the tiny community of Jerseydale, threatened by the now-9,226 acre Ferguson Fire. But when officials from Cal Fire tried to reach Varney by radio Friday evening, they only heard static.
He never responded.
At sunrise Saturday, air crews spotted Varney’s overturned bulldozer. There it has remained.
Varney, a member of the three-county Madera, Mariposa, and Merced unit, helped train new employees and fought wildfires across the state, Rahn said. And he continued the career of his father, Gordie Varney, who died in 2012 and was remembered as being a hard-working role model for his son.
The younger Varney was being remembered by firefighters throughout California. Gov. Jerry Brown issued a memorial tribute on statement Saturday. Flags flew at half-staff and firefighters draped their badges in black. | <urn:uuid:3b9ca9ae-0351-4547-ae1f-7d94fc7de7d8> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Body-of-firefighter-killed-near-Yosemite-is-13079817.php | 2019-09-18T21:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573368.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918213931-20190918235931-00455.warc.gz | en | 0.975904 | 482 |
IT’S OKAY TO BE TREATED LIKE A LADY
A few days ago, something happened that made my day but got me thinking. I was entering a building, when a man, who was nearby, came over and opened the door for me. I looked at him, smiled and said, “thank you so much. Can I clone you?”. He smiled and shook his head. I looked at him quizzically; and we started to talk.
To my surprise, he said that he opened the door for a woman a few days ago; and she started screaming at him. She called him a misogynistic pig and that she could open her own door. I stood there in disbelief, but not really. I told him that I appreciated his kindness and to never stop being a gentleman.
Treated Special Growing Up
When I was growing up, I learned from my Dad how a woman should be treated. He always held the door for my mother and for my sister and myself. He even pulled out our chairs and helped us on with our coats. This show of good manners was not to demean us, but to show respect. I’m thankful this gesture is still around today, although the instances are few and far between.
This was and is my normal. These simple gestures, not only taught me that I was special, but they empowered me. If my Dad showed this respect to my mother and his daughters, then, I should have respect for myself. And, in our current culture, I for one, applaud men who believe this should stay in fashion.
What exactly is Feminism?
According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, feminism is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” and “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests”.
I firmly believe equal rights for the sexes on all fronts.
As a little girl, I remember my grandmother always telling me that I was very much like her. She was an independent woman. She worked as a seamstress in the garment center in New York City. She saved and bought the house I grew up in on her own.
And, she broke the mold, when she divorced her first husband. This was unheard of for an Italian woman, especially in the 1950’s.
As I observed my grandmother, something always bothered me which was contrary to who she was. Her second husband was an Italian aristocrat. They used to eat dinner with us every other night. I would watch her cut his food for him and wondered why. My mother didn’t cut my father’s food for him!
Now, I realize there are generational differences. As a baby boomer, I’m often mystified by millennials.
The Glass Ceiling
As I became an adult, I entered the business world; and had to fight like so many other women. We were trying to break through that glass ceiling.
I started my career out as an administrative assistant. I got my M.B.A.; and started to climb the corporate ladder. There were challenges.
As an administrative assistant, I was working for five male executives. At times, I needed to help one of the Executive Vice Presidents. When his assistant was not at her desk, I would answer his phone.
To say thank you, he gave me a gold initial pendant, as a Christmas gift. I went back to my desk to open the gift. I put on the pendant. When I saw him, I went over to thank him. I pointed to the pendant. He said, “Let me see”. When I took a step forward, he reached out and pulled my blouse open. I gasped; and threw my arms across my chest. To this day, I can see that malicious sneer, as he turned away. Like so many, I said nothing. I, too, am grateful that sexual harassment against women is being exposed. It is time!
If I’ve learned anything through my life, I not only respect myself; but I respect others. That includes men. I know this may raise some eyebrows, especially in today’s climate. I do feel, though, it’s a missing ingredient.
With that said, something special happened today. I just returned home from a shopping run at Costco. I keep a little wheelie cart in the trunk of my car. This makes it so much easier to bring my groceries from the parking lot to my apartment.
As I was unloading the trunk, a young man, a MILLENIAL – asked if I needed some help. I turned and thanked him. I explained I had my cart; and I could manage just fine. I told him, I appreciated his kindness. His offer was a gesture that restored my faith.
Until now, I have been writing about going after my dreams as an actress. Today, I dream that when someone shows an act of kindness we don’t get our panties in a wad. I dream we can accept kindness graciously, with mutual respect and simply say thank you.
And remember, it’s never too late to go after your dreams!

Girls’ RPG Cinderellife is the title, according to an article in Japan’s weekly Famitsu gaming mag, and takes place in “Neo-Ginza,” where you, a young girl, come to establish yourself as the next great hostess. This is something of a twist on the ‘hostess genre’ as we in the US know it, where Sega’s Yakuza series brought over a mini-game centered on running a hostess club, not being one of the girls paid to flirt with customers.
Here, avatars work at a club called The Castle, where customers range from major politicians to famous singers. Players level up by doing well with each customer, which of course means ordering expensive food and drinks from the menu.
Players will have over a thousand items to use to customize their avatar’s makeup and outfit, and decorate her own room.
Cinderellife is actually a port of a similar game Level-5 runs on its own mobile gaming social network in Japan. Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino told Famitsu that that game, Kyabajoppi, is their top-performing game on the network and so deserved “a full RPG experience.”
The game will reach Japanese shelves in 2011 and will probably never see the light of day in the United States.

The empennage kit comes with a wiring harness. At this stage of the assembly it is easy to run the wires back through the tail cone before adding the side skins.
I added the side skins after running the wiring harness and began riveting.
Where the side skins, bottom skin, aft bottom skin and tail wheel spring support come together there is a tough overlap. You have to be sure to get the pieces layered in the correct order. I looked at the plans multiple times and consulted build blogs of others who had already built this section to determine exactly how it was supposed to fit. The plans call out breaking the edges of the skins to ensure a gapless joint. It still will take careful riveting to pull all the pieces smoothly together. With just the clecos holding it together the skins are pretty far apart.
Here are some shots of the inside. The tie wraps for the wiring runs are still loose because there are more lines to be run later. | <urn:uuid:a337cd93-58a4-41d1-81ff-fb31ab0b5da5> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.smashsrv-14build.com/2015/10/the-empennage-kit-comes-with-wiring.html | 2019-04-19T12:29:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578527720.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419121234-20190419143234-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.945347 | 260 |
Brad Oberhofer has played Coachella, seen a band form around his name, and seems to be one of the indie-labeled acts that could be destined for bigger stages and radio play and a Taco Bell commercial. But, with the release of a pay-what-you-want EP on his Bandcamp, Oberhofer may decide his career should go in a different direction.
Oberhofer posted on his Facebook: “Had a crazy night last night. First slumber party record. More in the future. All songs written, recorded, mixed from 12:47-8:53 this morning. Probably the most personal thing i’ve ever shared with more than one person at a time.”
The collection bears the title of CANNIBALISM, FREUD, NIGHT OF 3?.?15?.?13?/?MORNING OF 3?.?16?.?13 and the instant reaction is that it doesn’t sound like it was made that quickly, but that some actual time and effort has been placed into the songs. So, if Oberhofer is looking to impress us, it’s working.
Check out the “slumber party” record at Oberhofer’s Bandcamp or below.

SOHO data are freely available over the Internet, and people all over theworld have used images from the observatory to discover more than 1,000comets.
"I tip my hat to SOHO's engineering and operations teams, whose skills anddedication have overcome multiple technical challenges over the last decade,such as the loss of control of the spacecraft in 1998, the loss of the gyroswhen we recovered the spacecraft a few months later, and a sticky high gainantenna in 2003," said Dr. Bernhard Fleck , ESA Project Scientist for SOHO.
The observatory was originally designed for a two-year mission, but itsscientific insights have proven so valuable that NASA has consistently grantedit extensions, the latest of which allows the spacecraft to cover a complete11-year solar cycle.For more information about SOHO on the Web, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/soho2005.html For information about NASA and agency programs on the Web, visit: http://www.nasa.gov

The American Institute of Afghanistan Studies (AIAS) offers a variety of fellowship opportunities for scholars conducting work within the field of Afghanistan studies. These fellowships can be used towards short-term projects or other research programs to advance scholarship on Afghanistan. Every year, AIAS awards a series fellowships through the John F. Richards Fellowship program. The Richards Fellowship program is named in honor of belated Professor John F. Richards, one of the founding members of AIAS and a proponent of scholarship on South Asia.
The fellowships are divided into two categories: Research Fellowships and Afghanistan Travel Fellowships.
Research Fellowships are awarded to U.S. Citizens and are available to scholars of all levels. Scholars may not use these funds for travel to, from, or within Afghanistan and may not use these funds to conduct research within the United States.
The Afghanistan Travel Fellowships are open to senior scholars* who are U.S. Citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents, or Non-U.S. Citizens with a U.S. Institutional Appointment. The Travel Fellowships may support travel to Afghanistan.
Application instructions for each year are available by mid-February. For more information on past awards, please visit Richards Fellowship Recipients.
* Senior scholar denotes a scholar or practitioner who holds a tenure-track or tenure-equivalent position at a higher education institution, or an individual or independent scholar who can demonstrate significant experience in research or academic activity. For questions of eligibility, please contact AIAS.
**Individuals may apply for both fellowships, provided that they meet all restrictions and can demonstrate significant distinction between projects. Individuals must be able to effectively demonstrate within their proposal that no funds will be used to travel to or in support of traveling to Afghanistan under the research fellowship. (Example: Research funds cannot be used for a flight to Europe to defer the cost of travel to Afghanistan.) For additional information, please contact the AIAS office. | <urn:uuid:8a03254d-3f1b-4c83-b75f-6398a68b8e72> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://afghan-institute.org/research-fellowships/ | 2018-02-19T13:37:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812665.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219131951-20180219151951-00483.warc.gz | en | 0.919556 | 402 |
|£28.95 from Fantasy Printshop.|
This set from Fantasy Printshop adds more options to their 1/32 Tornado offerings. In concert with the previous sheet, these are all anniversary planes. They are in the greys scheme that was adopted in the latter years of the Tornado's operational use. To my knowledge, the only kit for this sheet is by Revell and it should be readily available.
The first option provided is from 14 squadron based at Lossiemouth in 2005 and is in the 90th anniversary scheme with a roundel blue fin.
Next up is an aircraft from 31 squadron aircraft based at RAF Marham in 2005. It also celebrates the 90th anniversary of the unit. Note that the nose flash was not handed on the original sheet, but a replacement decal is provided.
The final option is from 15 squadron, also at Lossiemouth in 2005. It has a black fin leading edge/tip and a black spine that also encompasses the cockpit. This aircraft also is marked in celebration of their 90th anniversary.
The decal sheet is very large and provides all the unique markings and insignia for all three markings. Stencils will need to come from the kit though Fantasy Printshop does offer a separate stencil sheet for the Tornado which you can get at this link.
I hope you are as pleased as I am to see some additional options for this kit.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Never mind that heartthrobs Leon Lai and Richie Ren seem to have been miscast as hardboiled city cops, each of whom have issues with morality and authority, or the fact that there is little mystery in this cat-and-mouse crime thriller.
Hong Kong director Dante Lam’s latest film is concerned with the daily lives of police officers who have to deal with ultra-violent criminals with a penchant for guns and bombs, and for all its faults, storywise, it is a gripping ride from start to finish.
There are logical leaps to be sure. Why, for instance, would a bunch of desperados conduct an arms trade in the private room of a crowded Cantonese restaurant? (The answer, of course, is so that the director can stage a tense smoke-filled shootout with bullets and grenades galore.)
And why would one cop, upon discovering the treachery of another, call him on his mobile phone to set up a meeting, thereby tipping him off and enabling him to stage an attempted getaway?
These questions may have nagged more if not for the fact that it matters little how Fire of Conscience – a rather strange English title for a film known literally in Chinese as ‘Fire Dragon’ – falls into some filmmaking traps; the film has enough gritty action to please even the most hardcore action fan.
Lai plays a hardened police investigator, Manfred, who is known for his rough-house tactics. A traumatic event in his life, explained in flashback, has caused him to sprout unkempt facial hair – always the sign of a tortured soul – and made him a seemingly soulless, yet effective, cop.
The case of a murdered prostitute, as well as the death of a police informant, causes Manfred to cross paths with Kee (Ren), a seemingly resourceful inspector with the narcotics branch.
When Manfred, who is haunted by his personal demons that cause him to stalk public trams, digs deeper into the prostitute case, encountering a formidable suspected cop-killer who repeatedly escapes police custody, he finds Kee curiously hovering around his investigation.
The motivations and allegiances of the major players are revealed long before the film’s conclusion, for reasons unknown, thereby forgoing the tension that keeping the audience guessing would have wrought.
Still, there is much to admire about the film, in spite of the middling performances of the leading stars.
It may seem a strange quality to laud, but the remarkable sound design – something fans of Oscar-winner The Hurt Locker may appreciate – on Lam’s latest cop actioner after Sniper and Beast Stalker (both 2008) is something to behold.
The realistic and crisp sounds of bullets embedding into a car windscreen, or a bomb going off, or of two combatants falling through glass, helps to really set the tone and atmosphere for this picture. And while the film goes overboard with blood at times, that doesn’t take away from its enjoyability.
There are shades of Infernal Affairs and Pride and Glory here, and even though the good cop-bad cop musings on right and wrong, as well as fate and fatalism, may not inspire, this is a technically superb film, with the surprising ability to transcend its flaws and excesses.
Don’t let story weaknesses, Ren’s stiffness, and Lai’s recent affinity for a bad facial hair, carried over from his nearly unrecognisable turn in Bodyguards and Assassins, distract you from this fact.

“Play It Again” by Luke Bryan is totally stuck in my head. All day long.
It is the only song I want to hear right now. Constantly.
I scanned all the country channels my whole way home in the car looking for it. Which is ironic, because that is what the whole damn song is about. And if the girl in the song had a fully-charged cell phone on her with a strong signal, she could just play the song again and again. But that is part of the song’s charm. It has a very traditional country sound. The lyrics are pretty traditional as well.
I grew up on late 70’s & 80’s country. That is the sound I like best. This song might be the beginning of a Country renaissance for me. I haven’t listened to Country music regularly since 2000. That is pretty much when I discovered Kid Rock.
She was like, oh my God, this is my song
I’ve been listenin’ to the radio all night long
Sittin’ ’round waitin’ for it to come on and here it is*
How many days and nights have I been this girl? And how many other girls out there have been in the same situation? And how has NO ONE written this song years ago?

How to Propagate Olive Trees
With their evergreen foliage and spreading growth habit, olive trees (Olea europaea) add year-round ornamental value to landscaping within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 to 10. Olive trees propagate reliably in several ways, although cuttings and seeds are the simplest means of growing new trees at home. Both methods will yield a transplantable tree within one year; however, cutting-propagated olive trees will mature faster and more closely resemble the parent tree in terms of size, growth habit and fruit production.
Propagation From Cuttings
Propagate olive trees from cuttings in summer once the current season's growth has begun to harden. Wait until after the blossoms have faded and the fruit has set, if the parent plant is a fruiting olive tree.
Prepare a rooting container. Fill an 8-inch nursery container with a mix of half washed sand and half milled peat. Saturate the mix with water and press it to expel the excess. Poke a 4-inch-deep hole in the moistened mix.
Gather an 8-inch-long semi-hardwood cutting from the tip of a healthy olive branch. Choose one with a 1/4-inch diameter. Sever it 1/8 inch below a leaf node. Remove all the leaves from the base of the cutting, leaving just six or so at the tip.
Coat the severed end of the olive cutting in 0.2-percent IBA rooting talc. Flick the stem to knock off the excess powder. Insert the cutting into the hole in the moistened sand mixture. Firm the mix against the stem.
Place the pot on a propagation mat inside a lightly shaded, well-ventilated cold frame or outdoors on a sheltered garden bench with light shade. Set the temperature on the propagation mat to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mist the foliage twice daily with a spray bottle. Check the moisture level in the sand mixture whenever you mist the foliage. Add water if the sand feels mostly dry in the top inch.
Check for roots in approximately three months by gently tugging on the base of the olive cutting. Turn off the propagation mat after it roots. Continue to grow it in the cold frame with weekly watering during the winter.
Move the olive to a shaded area of the garden in spring after the last frost. Grow it under lightly shaded conditions with 1 inch of water per week during the summer. Transplant it into a permanent bed in autumn.
Propagation From Seed
Propagate olive trees from seed in spring approximately four weeks before the last frost. Start multiple seeds to ensure at least one will germinate, since olive seeds have naturally low viability.
Crack the end of each olive seed with a pair of bolt cutters or nail clippers. Compress the bolt cutters into the tip of the seed until the endocarp, or pit, begins to crack, but do not cut all the way through.
Place the cracked olive seeds in a bowl of warm water. Soak the seeds overnight to hydrate the embryo and prompt germination. Drain the seeds on a sheet of paper for a few minutes before sowing them.
Sow the olive seeds in individual 4-inch plastic pots filled with a moist mixture of half washed sand and half seed compost. Sow them at a depth of 1/4 inch. Gently firm the growing mix.
Place the pots near a bright, sunny window in an unheated room where temperatures stay around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the seeds under cool conditions for four weeks. Moisten the growing mixture whenever it feels dry below the surface.
Warm the pots with a propagation mat set to 68 degrees. Continue to water the olive seeds whenever the growing mixture dries out. Avoid overwatering, since the seeds will go dormant or rot.
Move the pots outdoors after the last spring frost. Wait until daytime temperatures top 65 degrees. Place the pots under light shade. Provide shelter from strong winds, since they will dry out the growing mixture.
Watch for germination in approximately one to two months; however, don't be discouraged if it takes significantly longer for the sprouts to emerge. Continue to grow the olive seedlings under light shade for their first summer.
Transplant the olive seedlings into 8-inch nursery containers filled with a mix of half loam and half washed sand once they grow to 3 inches in height. Acclimate the olives to full sun exposure over the course of one week.
Transplant the olive trees into a permanent bed in the spring or autumn of their second year, or once they possess several sets of mature leaves and a thick, sturdy lead stem. Space multiple olives at least 15 feet apart.

What is the recovery factor?
The recovery factor is an important indicator of the health of a trading system, which is calculated as the ratio of absolute profit to maximum drawdown. The recovery factor is usually measured in points or percentages.
This indicator gives the trader an idea of the extent to which the total profit of the strategy exceeds the level or depth of the maximum drawdown. In part, the recovery factor indicates the ability of a strategy to recover after a period of losses (drawdown) together with the reserves for the resumption of trades after drawdowns.
How is the profit factor of a strategy calculated?
The recovery factor can be calculated in two different ways that give two different results.
The traditional (classical) method for calculating the recovery factor is expressed by a simple formula, as the ratio of net profit to maximum drawdown:
Recovery Factor = Net Profit/Maximum Drawdown
For example, suppose a trading strategy makes a net profit of $100,000 with a maximum drawdown of $12,500. This means that the recovery factor is 8:1 (100,000/12,500), which is a very favorable value. Based on this metric, we can say that this strategy is quite a bit better than another one that produces a profit of 120,000 with a maximum drawdown of 30,000 (profit factor of 4:1).
Although the second strategy generates more profit, it does so with a higher level of risk. For the level of risk you take, the first strategy produces a higher profit and has a better chance of recovering when a drawdown occurs.
Recovery Factor = Net Profit/Total Drawdown
The recovery factor value calculated in the second way provides a truly objective assessment of the stability/reliability of a trading system.
However, at the moment, on all major Internet sites, the recovery factor, including its application to PAMM accounts, is calculated in the first way.
Why is the recovery factor important in trading?
The recovery factor is an important indicator of the reliability of a trading system and should be carefully studied by the trader when evaluating different strategies. As already stated, it shows how quickly a system can return to profitability after drawdowns. Its calculation indicates how many times the current profitability of a strategy is greater than its historical maximum drawdown.
The attractiveness of the recovery factor is that it is an indicator that allows combining different criteria to evaluate the attractiveness of a strategy, such as profitability and possible drawdowns.
It often happens that a trader finds a strategy and sees that it has a return of several thousand percent. He then looks at the historical drawdowns of the strategy and understands that drawdowns of 80% to 90% are unlikely to suit him for obvious reasons.
This leads the trader to look for other strategies and he finds that they all have different combinations of profitability and maximum drawdown, making it difficult for him to make a good decision. As a result, the trader gets confused as he is not completely clear on which strategy he should choose in terms of the relationship between return and drawdown.
But if you rank strategies based on a criterion such as the recovery factor, you can rank them more reliably. For added reliability, you can evaluate strategies at different time intervals: six months, one year, and over their lifetime.
It makes little sense to consider shorter timeframes, as even a bad trading system can have good results in the short term. In this case, the recovery factor may appear highly distorted as a result of the small statistical sample size, as the strategy may not even have gone through a normal drawdown period and the gains may have been a happy coincidence.
Naturally, the recovery factor is not an exhaustive criterion when choosing a strategy. It is also necessary to take into account the risks, the age of the system and other parameters.
It should be remembered that the recovery factor shows the degree of reliability of the system, but says absolutely nothing about the trader’s ability to manage the capital of its account.
This is especially important when looking at managed account managers and copy trading platform signal providers. After all, it is not uncommon to find managed accounts or traders that have an excellent recovery factor and an excellent profitability, but with drawdowns of 95%, which is excessive from any point of view.
How justified is it to invest in such an account or trader? Investing all your money in such an option would be very risky, as the trader is clearly not applying the most basic measures of money management. Perhaps the trader knows what is money management and consciously assumes that risk, trying to get the highest possible profit. But in this case, investing in such an aggressive strategy will not be less risky.
What recovery factor is considered optimal?
The higher the recovery factor, the faster the system will recover after a drawdown. Therefore, when comparing two systems, one with a higher recovery factor is better.
For truly sustainable and reliable trading strategies, the recovery factor should be at least 6.0 (the higher the better). The value of this indicator for a professional trading strategy is 10 or more.
However, it is worth considering that the recovery factor without reference to the trial period is not informative.
The recovery factor should not be the only criteria when selecting a trading strategy to invest in. But its importance to assess the degree of reliability of a system or trader is unsurpassed. | <urn:uuid:4b984ee7-2dc4-4565-8f31-e8e80af0123c> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.forexdominion.com/recovery-factor-in-trading.html | 2023-02-03T04:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500042.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230203024018-20230203054018-00420.warc.gz | en | 0.952529 | 1,112 |

I would dearly love your advice on a leasehold property Matter:
I bought a leasehold property 6 months ago (technically a flat, but it's on 3 levels with no neighbours above or below, so it is, to all intents and purposes, a house). The property is on a private estate comprising of 72 properties and a handful of commercial units. I will refer to this estate from now on as 'the complex'. The complex is located in Whitechapel, London. The complex, for the sake of management of communal areas, is split into two separate management companies as the freehold of the entire complex is owned by two separate freeholders. Each freeholder and management company is responsible for 36 properties each. This arrangement has been in place since the complex was built some 13 years ago. This unusual break-up of freeholders occurred due to the complexities of the commercial units in part of the complex. The arrangement has never been reversed even though those complexities are no longer relevant to the day to day running of the place.
Apparently, it is very unusual for one complex to have separate freeholders who employ separate management companies. And it's a nightmare! The half of the complex that my property sits on, is managed by a company who are fairly competent (if not, in reality, too busy to deal with the issues I am about to outline to you, that are arising there). The other half of the complex has disastrously incompetent management. Unfortunately, the incompetent half oversees the management of all the crucial services of the entire complex. These are, namely, the vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, intercoms, surveillance, lighting, refuse management. In the six months I have lived there, the gates have only worked half the time. They are broken as I write!
My questions are as follows:
Is it, in fact, legal for there to be a management company who is looking after my essential services (ie. security and refuse) but with whom I have no ability to have any correspondence with? My half of the complex looks pretty, but the rest is shambolic. As leaseholders, we are living in an unlit and unsecured, unmonitored and off the beaten track cul-de-sac. Due to mismanagement that we have no control over whatsoever, we have drug takers coming into the private property, with gates permanently open, and no cameras or lights to deter them. We have had car vandalism, theft, fly-tipping, vermin, threats to residents from thugs....and we PAY our maintenance but cannot shout at that management company because we have no rights through them As they are not our management company! It surely cannot be legal for such a scenario to exist can it? Our management company wish to take over management of the whole complex, but they're not really getting around to resolving this, so I wanted to know if, legally, we have rights to challenge a set-up in which our rights are not being fulfilled.
Lastly, if this situation does not improve, I am thinking that I will have to sell because I am not prepared to spend £750,000 and feel threatened in my home environment. I bought this property as it seemed ideal for me. I wanted a house, but in a gated, private, secure development as I travel away for work and wanted this security. I also bought the house as it is located next to the new Crossrail network and I wanted a good investment. In reality, I have bought something very different from what I was led to believe. If I feel the need to sell, having exhausted all other avenues, is there anyone I am able to sue for damages? I have spent a lot of money on the house and renovations, I could lose money if I sold now, and I will lose all those anticipated financial benefits from my investment. This is not to mention the stress and heartbreak of having to sell. This should have been my ideal property to live in, but it's not the complex I thought I was buying into, and the idiosyncrasies of the arrangement are, if not illegal, then certainly intolerable. I feel I should have some power to change the situation, and I certainly feel someone else should be held to blame if I have to bail out and sell up, and lose all that investment potential I envisaged. I look forward to your advice. | <urn:uuid:6835a06b-6f72-485b-8b82-487c781f373f> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.justanswer.co.uk/law/8tef3-dear-sir-madam-i-dearly-love-advice-leasehold.html | 2017-07-23T01:38:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424200.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170723002704-20170723022704-00094.warc.gz | en | 0.977373 | 891 |
Skinny Bunny Tea is a collection of different teas, including their organic Matcha Tea, offering a simple solution to losing weight. These products claim to speed up weight loss and help to reduce hunger and cravings. While the Skinny Bunny Tea collection appears incredibly clean – gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO – and likely beneficial to overall health, the company does not do an adequate job explaining why their tea-based weight loss program is different or superior to any of the dozens of other weight loss solutions available to consumers.
I don't know about you, but I've struggled to find a tasty and healthy beverage that I can drink and not get bored of. I usually drink plenty of water but after a while it gets boring and bland. I used to be a big fan of Simply Apple 100% fruit juice, however, I after having learned that fruit juices are not as good for you as we may think. I needed a healthier option. Yes 100% fruit juices still have nutrients, but they also contain a lot of sugar and calories and calorie intake is the main factor of weight gain or loss. Fruit juices also lack the fiber form the fruit its self which is important because it doesn't spike your blood sugar as much with the fiber.
I started drinking Yogi tea. Weird comments bc my period started out of no where. So weird. But I drink the tea and the next morning experienced the worst feeling of diarrhea, headaches, and naseau. I had chills, and was extremely weak. I hardly could hold myself up. After using the restroom two hours later I was back to normal. I though I was dying NO TEA is worth that.
Nah, don’t be proud because I am talking about the detox teas (an end to your happiness, sorry). Well drinking any kind of tea is better than the coke and those cans of sugary juices and its quite possible that you must be drinking one of the detox teas. Check the list below, and if you drink none of these, you should highly consider replacing your current version of tea with any of these teas which helps in enhancing your body’s detoxification process.
Chocolate - Don’t you wish you could have chocolate and not gain the chocolate weight? Now you can! The rich chocolate flavor overwhelms your taste buds to create a truly satisfying experience. Every cup sends a smooth boost of energy that is perfect to push through the 2:30 feeling while the antioxidants help improve overall health. Immerse yourself in the decadence of this tea and you’ll never be the same again.
This site is a free online resource that offers valuable content and comparison features to consumers in the detox tea market. Brands are rated on a relative scale using the following metrics: amount of herbs contained that: Promote Fat Reduction, Suppress Appetite, Increase Satiety, Boost Metabolism, Promote Diuresis, and Gives Digestive Support. The two other metrics are if the tea comes with convenient tea bags, and the price per serving.See How We Rate. Referrals to some brands featured on DetoxTeaReviews.com could generate revenue if the user purchases a product, yet referral revenue does not effect ratings nor rankings.
The original Iaso Instant Detox Tea already has a lot going for it when it comes to health and weight loss. It has a modest dose of caffeine per serving, is packed with antioxidants, and filled with natural ingredients to reach your personal goals. While the original product itself is already successful on its own, the company Total Life Changes decided to make the beverage product even better by adding CBD.
The nettle tea made from stinging nettle leaves helps the body, especially the kidney and liver in eliminating the toxins. Stinging nettle leaves are a diuretic and have been used for a long time to treat muscle and joint pains such as in the case of arthritis. So if you are a patient of any of these problems, you should not mind trying nettle tea after consulting your doctor.
You simply can’t go wrong with this tea, which gives you a natural boost of energy and doesn’t contain any harsh or artificial ingredients. Plus, we combed through countless user reviews that said 310 Tea helped them drop pounds fast, in an easy and comfortable way. We highly recommend this effective detox tea for weight loss, weight management and a healthy lifestyle.
But there is a need for additional research to prove that they are able to eliminate toxins from your body. Because of this, we like to concentrate on the “getting healthy and feeling healthy” aspects of detox tea, and don’t count on them only to remove toxins. If they do, great, but what we want here are herbs that help boost metabolism, give you energy and clear up your skin. Any detox cleanse effects are just a bonus. | <urn:uuid:4f7f624b-9ef1-479e-a053-9d60b00d85e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | http://www.itemhome.com/juicer-how-to-fit-are-manual-juicer-good.html | 2020-05-30T08:26:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347407667.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200530071741-20200530101741-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.955257 | 1,009 |

Digital Signage & M2M: Rich message at the right time and place
Thursday, 09 January 2014
M2M technology already began revolutionizing the world of advertising. Nowadays, billboards and urban street signs, information screens, shop windows, posters and kinds of digital signage can provide updated information to suit not only the time and place but even the characteristics and interests of passers-by.
The number of campaigns taking advantage of new technologies to achieve greater recall is increasing every day. A very recent example from British Airways, Loop Up, presented a poster site in Piccadilly Circus that reacted by changing its contents every time one of the airline’s aircraft flew overhead: a child would look up and follow the plane across the sky, with an on-screen indication of the flight number and destination.
The integration of M2M technology into digital signage is still in its infancy, but it is forecast to have a significant impact on how companies address their target audiences, thus facilitating the much sought-after ‘targeting’ and the possibility of presenting ever more customized information, promotions and services.
Digital signage with M2M currently allows the retail, leisure, food-service, transport or finance industries to update multiple informative screens in real time and remotely, thus immediately displaying every new launch.
M2M technology enables instructions to be pre-established so that certain contents can be displayed at particular times or dates, or for the images displayed to respond to certain external triggers. For example, messages can be adjusted according to the location, time of day, season and potential audience, as well as the demographic characteristics of the clients.
Automatic remote updates means that the time and resources needed in the past to update traditional media can be reduced. Without the need to go in person to each site, the information displayed is guaranteed to be the most up-to-date and relevant for passers-by, also avoiding the presentation of inconsistent messages or promotions no longer in force.
To keep you in front of your audience
Digital Signage can take on any shape, from a huge video wall, such as those used in many airports, to accessories placed in the ceiling, information kiosks or different-sized LCD screens built-to-order for specific sites. Thanks to M2M’s wireless capability, they are very easy to install and set up, and they can be located practically anywhere.
The possibility of showing interactive visual content is the key to attracting the attention of an ever more blasé audience that is however grateful for useful information, such as practical tips, and can still be seduced by curious initiatives such as this video wall billboard at a shopping mall.
In this sense, Digital Signage solutions with M2M are very useful for promoting in‑store discounts. They enable customers to be entertained at the same time as they become familiar with new products. This improves their overall experience with the brand by adding a playful and educational component.
In 2013, Amscreen deployed a digital signage platform with M2M that also exploited face-recognition technology. Rolled out to a network of service stations in the United Kingdom, it enables advertisers to view details of the people seeing their ads: gender, age, date, time and volume of spectators, so as to measure campaigns better and make the content more relevant. | <urn:uuid:35b93460-b3cb-45cd-ac6f-f42fa15010e9> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | https://m2m.telefonica.com/m2m-media/m2m-blog/item/622-digital-signage-m2m-rich-message-at-the-rigth-time | 2014-03-09T01:58:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999670363/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060750-00059-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937326 | 680 |
Orion Test Flight Take 2
After the launch scrubbed the previous day, the crowd gathers again for a second attempt for an Orion test flight. The weather is a bit iffy today, there are quite a few clouds. We have the same 7:05 – 9:44am launch window, so there is plenty of time for the weather to clear up. You know how Florida weather is, if you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minuets and it will change! Just before sunrise the clouds did thin and we were treated to another great sunrise. The countdown is winding down and all systems are go! There are no boats, no high winds, and no frozen valves. Yeah! There is a glow on the horizon as the engines on the Delta IV Heavy ignite. The Delta carrying Orion slowly rises into the sky. We get a good look at Orion before it disappears into the clouds. Orion performed well on its 4 hour test flight. Orion orbited the earth twice before splashing down in the pacific ocean.

When you coordinate a food drive at your work, school, club, or organization you are helping us meet the increased demand for shelf stable food for our neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet. Many families have limited access to fresh, nutritious, and affordable food and rely on the supplemental non-perishable food they receive at their local pantry. Whether at your place of business or in the classroom a food drive is an opportunity to work together with a common goal of feeding our neighbors.

SAN DIEGO - Authorities evacuated part of a University City-area
condominium complex Friday after receiving reports of gunfire in
one of the units.
San Diego police got a call from someone who reported hearing a
gunshot inside the building in the 8700 block of Costa Verde
Boulevard shortly after 1 p.m., SDPD Detective Gary Hassen
The caller also described detecting an odor like decaying flesh
in the area of the residence where the possible firearm report had
sounded, Hassen said.
Patrol officers went to the scene and tried to establish contact
with anyone inside the residence in question. It was not
immediately clear if they were able to do so.
Authorities shut down traffic lanes around the complex. About
2:30 p.m., they began clearing occupants out of the multi-story | <urn:uuid:3bea1adf-8fd2-4ff6-8b13-1073ce12cee4> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2005/oct/08/reported-gunfire-leads-to-evacuation/ | 2014-11-22T01:46:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400375786.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123255-00054-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94704 | 174 |
Carlos Tevez has revealed that he never felt at home during his time at Manchester United because there was too many big egos. The Juventus forward also admitted he came close to quitting football after he fell out with Roberto Mancini at Manchester City. It seems as though Manchester United could be on the verge of losing another highly rated youngster to Juventus. Andreas Peirera is free to talk to other clubs in the summer when his contract expires, and Juventus are hoping to land the 19-year-old. The Italian outfit also landed Paul Pogba for nothing in 2012. | <urn:uuid:f7cf2967-4ee3-4ffe-988c-3bfc5260d75e> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.givemesport.com/549412-carlos-tevez-says-he-never-felt-at-home | 2017-03-30T17:09:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218195419.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212955-00127-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983755 | 116 |

A companion volume to the author's seminal textbook War, Aggression and Self-Defence, Third Edition, Cambridge (2001), this book focuses on issues arising in the course of hostilities between States, with an emphasis on the most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The main themes considered by Yoram Dinstein are lawful and unlawful combatants, war crimes, including command responsibility and defences, prohibited weapons, the distinction between combatants and civilians, legitimate military objectives, and the protection of the environment and cultural property. Numerous specific topics that have attracted much interest in recent hostilities are addressed, such as human shields, feigned surrenders, collateral damage and proportionality, belligerent reprisals and weapons of mass destruction. | <urn:uuid:b18b6b5f-b5c1-4218-b272-70ab687c2bfc> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.wildy.com/isbn/9780521834360/the-conduct-of-hostilities-under-the-law-of-international-armed-conflict-hardback-cambridge-university-press | 2017-07-21T04:56:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423716.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170721042214-20170721062214-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.932019 | 191 |

See you soon in the Calm-o-sphere 😉
It’s still at its early stages but it’s definitely collecting already lots of interest and potential use cases.
Maven Calm is an Apache Maven based attempt to provide a simple and collaborative implementation to the problems of ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), which is based on a simple rationale developed in 3+ years of complex architectures development on Maven:
“All best practices can be externalized, in a cross technology and cross organization fashion, using Maven project inheritance capabilities”
As Mau explains in his wonderful Maven Calm tutorial, simply by the means of using Calm as parent POM and setting some properties, you have access to a number of pre-configured behaviors of your build, neatly bound to lifecycle phases.
Hopefully this list is meant to grow pretty soon, but at the moment Maven Calm support ALM processes like:
Some random note, mostly to myself, to remember, in some dark Maven time, how cool this technology is and that sometimes, at a certain point sure, you CAN have success stories with it.
For now, as I anticipated I’m just playing around with Alfresco core modules, to see how they fit with Maven and how tough can it be to port the full suite.
And you know what guys, on Friday, in just 4 hours I was able to have the core AND webscript framework completely building and tested with Maven (98% success rate).
I mean, it’s just a beginning, but considering that Webscripts are meant/designed to be deployed and integrated also outside of Alfresco, well, you understand the power of having only to add few dependency lines.
I’ll just drop the raw log of my operations, to give you a raw idea what can take for the m10n of an Ant project and how easy it can be if the source project is well maintained and tested.
Alfresco core mavenization (m10n):
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jta.jar -DgroupId=javax.transaction -DartifactId=jta -Dversion=1.0.1b -Dpackaging=jar

Well pretty cool if you consider only a couple of hours of work, 54 tests out of 55 working again 😉
That’s refactoring yeah!
Webscript Framework mavenization (m10n):
Pretty much the same steps, some dependency to deploy but basically the same trick.
Nice to note, under modules coupling POV, that the only intra-Alfresco dependency of the Webscript Framework is the Core, so that in another couple of hours I was able to run a
mvn clean install
on the Webscript frameowork project, with the following result:
Tests run: 16, Failures: 2, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

Ok needs refinement, and a proof of concept of integration in some webapp, but I feel already like all the “glue” power of Maven can be an additional enabler to such a feature-ful platform like Alfresco.
Suggest to stay tunes as I’ll definitely post more on this 🙂
How come writing is always the last thing?
Before it was blogging, now fashion says we must micro-blog, and we even don’t have time to spend a few words on what we do. Effective as business, but blogging gave us a bit of writers pride, isn’t it? But it goes much earlier than that…the vast majority of software projects is developed almost until the end without any piece of seriously meaningful documentation.
Ok, ok, stop!
I was just finding lame philosophical excuses for not having blogged anything in this period of my life, such dense of changes in many aspects of my life and career. And this blog post keep staying in the infinite backlog of my TODOs.
seems to run a famous Chinese or supposed to be Chinese curse, which I actually heard for the first at the Alfresco Rome’s meetup during my new CTO – John Newton – presentation, but that reflects the current status of my life, career and more in general world there days. Read more The infinite tail of TODO
Yes, it’s just yet another success story.
But still worth mentioning isn’t it? Especially when it happens right to you and right in one of the toughest period of my entire career.
So to keep it short: I’m working together with Marijn on some fully fledged complex Alfresco workflow, working on 3.0 but still on the “old” Alfresco web client (now renamed to Repository Explorer ).
One big requirement that has been left out was the possibility of displaying the task history of a workflow on the document details page. To be clear, Alfresco allows showing documents associated to a workflow, but the reverse association is not displayed and a document has no means of showing the task history that a specific document has undergone to.
About to drop this requirement, while googling around I came across this genius post, in which Marc de Kwant describes and shares the code of exactly this feature. Ok, I understand it’s a quite obvious requirement, especially in enterprise controlled documents contexts, but I mean, look at the picture, it’s exactly what I needed 😉
That is extremely cool, and will allow to implement the feature in a matter of minutes.
Makes me wanna contribute to the project, just to give all my kudos to his great work (still have to try it actually, but appreciate the effort 😉 ).
The code is hosted here and if I look better at some comments on the blog post , seems that the gap of poor packaging of this feature (just a bunch of files dropped there) can be easily bridged with another success story, a one shot execution of my Maven AMP archetype. Guess it can make a really nice Forge contribution as such. Anyone interested to try it out?
I especially love when open source achievements come together in a product, which is typically more than double valued than the original addendums. That’s why I probably will always like, enjoy, be interested in being an open source integration pioneer.
When building a multimodule project in Maven, you often use POM inheritance to centralize plugin configuration and even executions. While centralized configuration is most of time fairly straightforward, the centralization of a plugin definition may force (or try to force) all or your submodules to follow the same *customized* build lifecycle which may even not apply to their packaging.
Think for example of having a cargo-maven-plugin configuration centralized for a project of 3 WAR projects and a JAR: I don’t think your appserver will be happy of receiving a your JAR as a deployable because you too smartly centralized a configuration which deploys after the packaging phase (I wouldn’t be happy either… 😉 )
I solved this problem using profiles and working on the fact that a profile is inherited only when it’s defined also in the child pom, so not definying your plugin/plugins configuration in the main build.
I have a project structure composed of multiple (WAR and JAR) artifacts with cross dependencies and a super pom, something like:
So basically I have a (for jboss using cargo) a super pom which defines all cargo plugin configuration in a profile called ‘deploy’ , which goes something like this:
<!-- Profile to deploy to a local jboss instance, due to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CARGO-416 -->
Properties for this profile are configured in the superpom <properties> section, which goes something like:
<!-- src/main/properties/<env>/application.properties is loaded for all subproject -->
Then, for every project which I’d like to deploy I configure in the specific child pom an profile with same id (“deploy” in our case) as this one which actually binds the specified plugin configuration to an actual lifecycle phase (typically in the pre-integration-test):
So basically running my build from the super pom by explicitly activating the plugin (because according to inherited profiles only gets run if explicitly called by id with -P option and not with the other activation methods described here ):
mvn clean install -P deploy
I get only the selected sub projects to be deployed with cargo while other projects (that do not inherit the profile) will only run the default build lifecycle (so with neither cargo configuaration nor binding it to a phase).
As a side note, I also use “environmental” profiles (using the <env> variable) so that different cargo (buildtime) properties and and application (runtime) properties are selected, e.g. :
which allows me to have my selected subprojects deployed to different environment by combining profiles:
mvn clean install -Pdeploy,accpt
I believe deploying and one of the things which maven does best, and hopefully this post can let you have a better understanding of which degree of configurability you can get with can get with this tool!
Maybe it’s more social 2.0, maybe it’s more open source but on the other hand we the “big brother” threat is still there.
Anyways, for the record I moved the m2alfresco Alfresco Forge project to a better and safer place on Google Code, under the new fancy name of maven-alfresco-archetypes.
Let’s assist and take part to the community miracle 😉

I like to post about fun and interesting musical performances that strike me from time to time. This video is something some guy made to illustrate a curious song Michael Stipe recorded where he simply (but beautifully!) sings the liner notes he found on the back of an old Southern Gospel album he found in the studio. The music track is from their song Seven Chinese Brothers. This Voice of Harold version is much better, much cooler.

Police in Michigan are frantically searching for a shooter who has been randomly firing at people in their cars on a stretch of highway near Detroit.
On Saturday afternoon, a baseball fan driving along the interstate 96 corridor en route to a World Series game in Detroit was shot in his left hip. Emily Roll, a gas station employee who witnessed the aftermath of the shooting, said that at first the victim came limping into a gas station, looking for help.
"First he said to call the cops," she said. "I thought he got robbed, but then he said I just got shot off the highway."
Only 30 minutes earlier and a mile away, another car on the interstate was hit with a bullet entering through the back window and slicing through the car. That driver was not injured.
"If somebody would have been sitting in the rear seat of the first vehicle, they'd have been hit," Livingston County Sherriff Bob Bezotte said.
Since mid-October, 24 vehicles have been hit by bullets along a stretch of I-96. Until Saturday, no one had been hurt, but authorities fear there's a serial shooter out there with deadly intentions.
Former FBI agent and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett said the seeming randomness of the shooting is perilous.
"We don't know why, but the big concern is he is anonymously shooting at cars and eventually someone is going to get killed. It is a very dangerous situation," Garrett said.
A federal and state task force has been formed to catch the shooter, and police have released a composite sketch of the suspect.
"Somebody knows this individual is out there doing this," Bezotte said. "And we encourage them to call us so we can put him in jail where he needs to be before somebody actually gets killed."
The ATF, the FBI and Crime Stoppers are offering $102,000 for information leading to an arrest of the suspect. Some are worried that this could be the beginning of a nightmare scenario, like the Washington region saw in the fall of 2002, when two snipers killed 10 and injured three over a month. | <urn:uuid:8bb7df25-da97-4538-82f3-77c91fdd5a0a> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://abcnews.go.com/US/michigans-96-gunman-sought-cops/story?id=17614929 | 2015-05-30T23:19:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207932737.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113212-00123-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982183 | 429 |
Too many hospitals are coasting and settling for minimum standards that could lead to failure and tragedy, the Health Secretary has warned.
Jeremy Hunt says that many middle-of-the-road hospitals are "hitting targets but missing the point".
During a speech at the Nuffield Trust's health policy conference in Dorking, Surrey, Mr Hunt warned hospital bosses about the dangers of simply aiming for "not coming last".
Average hospitals which meet national targets but are not doing anything to improve their services are "not good enough", he added.
He said: "Imagine for a moment that the main objective for our Olympic athletes was not to win but to 'not come last'. How many gold medals would we have won then?
"It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But today I want to suggest that too much of the NHS is focused on doing just that.
"Not on achieving world-class levels of excellence - the gold medals of healthcare - but meeting minimum standards, the equivalent of 'not coming last'.
"Coasting can kill. Not straight away, but over time as complacency sets in, organisations look inwards, standards drop and then, suddenly, something gives.
"The lesson of Mid Staffs is surely that we need to understand why they fail in the first place - which means tackling mediocrity and low expectations before they turn into failure and tragedy."
He added: "There are plenty of other hospitals where their staff friends and family scores are about the same today as they were in 2009.
"They're hitting their targets, they're not failing but, on the basis of this indicator anyway, they're standing still.
"Hospitals must not be allowed to cruise along, hitting the targets but missing the point."
Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said: "It's no good for ministers to blame hospitals and staff when it is they who have thrown the whole system into chaos with a huge re-organisation, which has siphoned £3bn out of front-line care.
"Hospitals across England are on a knife-edge and they need a Government that provides support rather than points the finger."
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Front-line staff want to work in excellent hospitals, but they need the proper support to be able to do this." | <urn:uuid:0db7c4e9-6940-4972-91a0-67685f3390e6> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://news.sky.com/story/1061860/health-secretary-coasting-hospitals-can-kill | 2016-02-06T08:23:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701146196.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193906-00110-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973393 | 490 |
(AllHipHop News) Universal Records, T.I. and Kanye West are the targets of a new lawsuit by Bloodstone, an R&B/Funk/Rock band that does not approve of hip-hop music.
In a new lawsuit, the 3-person group stated their claim.
“Plaintiffs do not approve of their song being sampled in a hip hop or rap song.”
“Bloodstone did not know that UMG had granted the license to TI and Kanye West until late 2011/early 2012. Since that time Bloodstone has sought to find out who granted the license to TI without any authority, and recently learned it was Ume [Universal Music Enterprises]. Plaintiffs do not approve of their song being sampled in a hip hop or rap song.”
“On belief, in 2003, in exchange for consideration, Defendant granted the hip-hop artists known as TI and Kanye West a license to sample ‘I’m Just Doing My Job’ without notifying any of the members of Bloodstone and without paying any compensation to Bloodstone. The Bloodstone sound recording of ‘I’m Just Doing My Job’ was used by TI and Kanye West in the song ‘Doin My Job’ in its entirety and has sold millions of copies.
The group seeks an injunction on the songs and punitive damages. | <urn:uuid:19ab3b0b-43c0-4bb8-9ae3-4fed8308e958> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://allhiphop.com/2013/06/25/kanye-and-t-i-have-been-sued-by-a-rap-hating-rock-band/ | 2016-08-27T22:19:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982931818.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200851-00200-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941742 | 287 |

Israel is well-known as a medtech hot-spot, with a focus on academic research and strong government support helping the country punch well above its weight when it comes to innovative devices.
St Jude Medical had a heavy focus on its intravascular imaging offering at this year’s EuroPCR meeting, presenting data supporting its optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology. OCT provides intravascular images to help assess culprit lesions, which can improve stent selection and deployment, according to St Jude.
A big topic at this year’s EuroPCR, held in Paris on 19-22 May, was drug-coated balloons (DCBs).

Pierre Del Moral, Arnaud Doucet and Ajay Jasra just wrote a paper on ABC entitled “An Adaptive Sequential Monte Carlo Method for Approximate Bayesian Computation” that is more than welcomed as it links the ABC algorithm with their foundational SMC paper of 2006 in JRSS Series B. It thus brings a new light on the SMC ABC-PRC proposal of Sisson, Fan and Tanaka, already discussed in this post, in that both papers are based on the 2006 Series B paper idea of using a backward kernel L(z,z’) to simplify the importance weight and remove the dependence on the unknown likelihood from this weight.
The main point is that, despite a common framework, the weights of Del Moral et al. differ from those of Sisson et al. First, Del Moral et al. assume that the forward kernel K is invariant against the true target (which is a tempered version of the true posterior in sequential Monte Carlo), a choice not explicitely made in Sisson et al. (there is a mention that “Choices of K include a standard smoothing kernel (e.g., Gaussian) or a Metropolis–Hastings accept/reject step” but the target of the Metropolis–Hastings kernel is not specified—with a potential difficulty in using a proposal including a Dirac mass for importance sampling—and the kernel chosen in the toy mixture example is the “Gaussian random walk“). Second, the ABC weights of Del Moral et al. reduce to the ratio of acceptance rates for the thresholded domain, while Sisson et al. end up with the ratio of the prior densities. Only when the prior is flat do both weights coincide, but again with an invalid argument in Sisson et al. if K is not invariant against the true target.
A few comments on the paper itself:
One of the strengths of the paper is that Del Moral et al. rely on repeated simulations of the x‘s given the parameter, rather than using a single simulation given the parameter as in Sisson et al. (where this choice M=1 is considered as “the most computationally efficient“). In that perspective, each simulated parameter gets a non-zero weight that is proportional to the number of accepted x‘s. I wonder if the choice of the number M of replications could be adapted to the efficiency of the probability [of acceptation] estimation or something like that. The limiting case in M brings an exact simulation from the (tempered) target so there is a convergence principle and the stabilisation of the approximation could be assessed to control M.
The adaptivity in the ABC-SMC algorithm is dual in that (a) the Markov kernel on the parameter can be adapted in a typical PMC argument and (b) the threshold εt‘s can also be constructed on-line. The argument is to keep decreasing those thresholds slowly enough to keep a large number of accepted transitions from the previous sample. The only drawback I see is that the final value of the threshold ε is set in advance. Appart from the ultimate choice of ε = 0, which can be done in some settings as illustrated by the paper, this final value is difficult to calibrate. I also think the adaptivity criterion on the threshold ε could be Rao-Blackwellised into the sum of the importance weights rather than the indicators themselves. As noted in the paper, the ESS cannot be used per se since it is not monotonic. | <urn:uuid:64625d36-6745-444c-9c7b-183048cafe7e> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://xianblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/ | 2014-08-22T21:36:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500824562.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021344-00219-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929468 | 738 |

It’s always annoying when ads take up your favorite app spaces, maybe in your favorite game apps. Most free apps have ads embedded in them but most times these ads affect the user’s experience. You will agree with me that it is definitely annoying when ads start popping up in the middle of a game or when you are surfing the web.
Then you begin to wish for ways you can block ads in your favorite Android app. So in this article I want to share with you how to block ads on Android whether your device is rooted or not.
Note: I do support advertisements after all that how I earn my living, but if you really have a good reason to want to block ads on Android then I respect your wish and will show you how. Google has recently removed all adblocking apps from the play store so you may have to download them from third-party sites and remember to enable “Install apps from unknown sources” before installation.
Block Ads on Android:
AdAway: AdAway is by far the most effective way to block ads on Android as this app can easily block ads from most known sources. AdAway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file. It needs Android >= 2.1 and ROOT access.
Simply download the AdAway adblocker app and install it on your rooted Android device, launch it and select the “Download files and apply ad blocking” button, it will download some known host files to prevent their ads from ever reaching your phone.
AdAway allows you to select your own sources of host files, add exceptions to your Whitelist if an app is not working when specific hosts are blocked, define extra hostnames in your own Blacklist and add your own (hostname, IP)-pairs in the Redirection List.
This app supports most Android versions provided it has ROOT access and can be granted Read/Write access on the system-Partition.
Sometimes blocking ads can render some apps unusable, so you may have to whitelist such apps by doing the following;
Go to Menu > Your List and select the white tab
Go to Menu > Add and add a new domain & add the domain of the ads you want to show.
Note it’s not the domain of the app you will need to add rather the domain of the ads (domain hosting the ads) for example Google ads can be whitelisted or blocked by adding ad.doubleclick.net to the whitelist or blacklist respectively.
For UNROOTED devices, your only option to block ads on Android will be to use browser-based ads blocker like Adblock Plus.
Note you can’t block ads in free apps that are ads supported, there is no way to disable them except there is some sort of ad buy out option, in most apps you may have to upgrade to paid versions if you want to enjoy an add free version.
I hope you find this tutorial useful to share your views. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed.

thanks for this surprise brother. Your posts always have something awesome. This was the major problem in Android with free apps / games. But after reading this post i can say bye bye to the ads. Keep it up brother.
Suresh Khanal says
It’s good to find some apps that cleans your app screen however, I don’t mind some small ads at the bottom of app screen if it is free and offers some useful utility.
As a blogger we know the value of Ads, don’t we? Remember that Adsense? Hahaaa…
I wonder if Google too wish to ensure it’s ads are displaying, why otherwise would it remove all ad-blocking apps from Google Play?

Common Mistakes When Starting a New Business
The decision to start a new business is a scary and exciting time. It is filled with plenty of unknowns and important decisions. There is no one right way to start a business, because if there were, everyone would be doing it. It’s vital to spend ample time researching before taking the next step. By closely reviewing thorough checklists on how to start a business
, you’ll learn important lessons, including common mistakes to avoid.
Not Asking for Help
You can’t get help unless you ask for it, and in the startup world, faking it until you make it could lead to the downfall of your company. A new business will often require that you wear many hats such as human resources, marketing, finance, and public relations just to name a few. It can be easy to say that you’ll just hire someone, but in reality, you may not have the funds necessary at the moment to do so. If you find yourself in this situation, The Guardian
suggests attending networking events with other startups or small business owners, as well as finding a mentor. A mentor can serve as a sounding board for any ideas you might have and provide true and honest feedback.
According to a Gallup survey
of 1,000 current or potential entrepreneurs in 83 countries, adults who have access to a mentor are three times more likely to start their own business, and “without a mentor, an entrepreneur may find it difficult to access resources, build networks, and create partnerships that help the enterprise grow.” A mentor can be the person you turn to when you aren’t sure what step to take next. One of the perks of starting your own business is that you are your own boss, but this means you have no one to look to when questions or problems arise but yourself. Consider a mentor for those times when you need advice, or simply someone to listen.
Skipping Market Research
According to BB&T
, it is important that you are passionate about the product or service that your company will be offering, but don’t let your passion cloud the reality. It is important that you have some sort of marketing plan to identify customers and make the benefit of your product visible to motivate your target market to make a purchasing decision. There are two types of marketing research you will conduct. The first is primary research, which is information that comes directly from the source, which in this case, are your potential customers. This type of research can be gathered via surveys, focus groups, or interviews. The second type of research is secondary research. Entrepreneur
says this involves gathering stats, studies, reports, and other data from organizations such as government agencies or your local chamber of commerce.
Don’t be discouraged by what you find or the feedback you receive. Your ultimate goal is the success of your business, and this may require a little bit of flexibility to meet the needs and demands of customers. Take for example the mobile photo-sharing application called Instagram. According to CNN
, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom credits the success of Instagram to his attention to user feedback. Before Instagram, Systrom was working on a check-in service called Burbn. Systrom says he and his team made the important decision to focus on the part of the app that users loved the most – posting pictures. Thus, Instagram came to fruition. Think of market research as an investment into your future. Make the necessary changes now to avoid hiccups in the future, and don’t be afraid of changing your business model altogether. The beauty of starting your own business is that you can take it in whatever direction you desire. Enjoy the ride, ask for help when you need it, and make smart market decisions. | <urn:uuid:098d6eab-71a5-4455-99cd-160b408e0b7c> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.wisconsinbuyslocal.com/BlogLocally.aspx?id=21 | 2020-02-28T23:20:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875148163.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228231614-20200229021614-00146.warc.gz | en | 0.956879 | 778 |
The concept of using a vintage bearing without it's casing, is a link which many action sports have in common. BMX's, rollerblades, Skateboards & scooters, all have bearings. A visual i wanted to use, as it is well recognised with those who are involved in these sports.
The waves at the core of the design are a part of the original logo created by the store owner along with the text, which was tweaked to blend with the design.

What is a project? According to the Project Management Institute a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. A project is temporary because it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. The short video identifies several types of projects to include creating a program, developing a product, implementing a new procedure, constructing a building or designing any one of the preceding projects. The video also mentions a few events; weddings, vacations, and family reunions. I mention these types of events for the benefit of students that may not be familiar with projects in a work setting and need a reference point to visualize a project. That is not to say event planning is not seen in a professional work setting. I have filled the role of project manager for a number of events to include golf tournaments, banquets, concerts, and food and clothing drives for the local food pantry.
The goals of all projects are the same; deliver a quality product, service, or service, on time and within budget to the satisfaction of the client or primary stakeholder. I have found construction projects challenging due to their large, often enormous scope, timeline, and budget that requires hundreds of human resources and thousands of material resources costing millions of dollars over the course of several years. Yet, a large project can be forgiving and contingency planning provides for adjustments in scope, schedules and budgets.
According to the developments of generation to generation so nowadays sending a letter through the post office is no longer www.gmail.com login a trend although it is still very useful for sending letters and for an official purpose
Recently, I planned a farm to table harvest festival that required me to procure and cook fresh produce for a large group. The schedule left little room for error and the requirement for fresh local produce limited my options for obtaining resources. I started prepping some of the food the day before and carefully timed the courses to be served over the span of a few hours. My only contingency plan was to order from a local restaurant should I run into trouble; luckily I did not. As a result of the event I have a new found respect for Chefs that offer new menus on a weekly, if not daily basis. Not only must they be skilled at their craft, they have to be highly skilled project managers. Cooking for a large event is not as forgiving as constructing a building. | <urn:uuid:cd2bc230-6a71-40eb-bd79-c72a93767490> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.constructionmanagementdegree.com/what-is-a-project/ | 2019-08-18T15:16:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027313936.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190818145013-20190818171013-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.940456 | 621 |

Priests for Life
On Election Day, our country will make critical decisions about the types of leaders we will have for years to come. If you have not been doing so, it is time to begin looking more carefully at the candidates who will be running.
To make the right decision when deciding on the candidates whom you will support, it is essential that you look carefully at the positions of the candidates in the race. This step in the process is critical in fulfilling your responsibilities as a faithful citizen, as you must participate in the political process with a fully informed conscience. This includes knowing the positions of the candidates.
continue reading this article here
On one level, as described below, Priests for Life refers to a very specific effort to galvanize the clergy to preach, teach, and mobilize their people more effectively in the effort to end abortion and euthanasia.
On another level, Priests for Life represents a family of ministries that reach and enrich every aspect of the pro-life movement, for clergy and laity alike, in a wide variety of activities. This has come to pass precisely because priests are not ordained for themselves, but for the people.So in activating clergy, we are activating all the segments of the Church, the pro-life movement, and the wider society in the defense of life.
We refer to this wider family of ministries as Gospel of Life Ministries, to indicate that what unites them all is the Gospel of Life, the good news that life is victorious over death!
So whether you are clergy or laity, young or old, active or inactive, and whatever your religious or ethnic background, you're in the right place if you want to do something to restore protection to the most vulnerable members of the human family!

Protests against the proposed bypass road for NH 8D near Junagadh got a fresh impetus on Monday,with a group of farmers submitting a memorandum to the in-charge collector of Junagadh district,demanding that land acquisition for the project be stopped immediately.
Under the banner of Khedut Heet Rakshak Samiti,farmers of 10 villages,located along the new 19-km-long bypass road to the north-west of Junagadh,submitted the memorandum to Dilip Rana,the in-charge collector of Junagadh district.
Farmers of 10 villages rejected the illegal process of acquiring their land. In spite of that if farmers land is forcibly acquired and any farmer takes extreme step in the process,the responsibility of such an incident will lie with the district collector,land acquisition officer and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the memorandum stated.
The NHAI and the Junagadh district administration had undertaken a joint measurement survey (JMS) for the new bypass road in June this year. However,farmers contend that the authorities did not follow due procedure while starting JMS.
According to state government norms,JMS cannot be undertaken during monsoon,and if such a process has to be completed during the rainy days,farmers have to be informed a week in advance. But we got the notice just three days before work began, Kalu Zala,president of Khedut Heet Rakshak Samiti (KHRS),said .
A circular issued by settlement commissioner and director of land records of the state in August 2004 (a copy of which is available with The Indian Express) makes it mandatory for authorities to inform farmers a week in advance,in writing,to conduct a survey on their agricultural land during monsoon. The farmers also alleged that the NHAI had misrepresented facts about land,while seeking environmental clearance for the new road.
The NHAI has said that the land to be acquired for the new bypass is barren land. However,in reply to a RTI application,the Junagadh Agricultural University has revealed that the land is fertile, Hamir Ram,a farmer,said.
The in-charge collector said that he would seek details of the matter and take suitable action. According to the memorandum,230 land-holders are likely to be affected by the new alignment of the bypass. Hundreds of farmers have been detained by police as JMS went on from June 16 to 29. | <urn:uuid:ff5a6c7b-93a9-44f3-be16-f0e873c718b2> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/fresh-stir-against-land-acquisition-for-proposed-nh-8d-bypass-road/ | 2018-11-21T05:54:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747215.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121052254-20181121074254-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.967265 | 511 |
Nelson Piquet Jr. has become the 6th different winner in succession in the 2014/2015 Formula E World championship. Nelson emulated his father by taking his first win in the championship at Long Beach; 35 years after Piquet Sr. won his first Formula One Grand Prix at the street circuit.
The Brazilian driver was 3rd on the grid but quickly jumped up to the front after a lightning get-away. He managed to dispatch pole-sitter Daniel Abt and second placed Nicolas Prost as he squirmed his way into the lead at the first chicane. Further back in the field things got a bit tight, with championship contender Sam Bird falling foul of a collision with another driver. Thanks to the contact, the Virgin Racing driver’s front-left wishbone broke; forcing the Brit to pit at the end of lap 1. He jumped aboard his second car, but due to the impossibility of making the car’s battery life last a whole race, he retired later on.
Bird wasn’t the only driver to be taking an early bath. Scott Speed had made a fantastic debut in the championship last month in Miami, but the home-hero wasn’t going to make it to lap 5. The Californian took too much speed into the first chicane, forcing him to drive over the second kerb. The kerb put Speed’s front wheels up in the air and then into the wall. The safety car would soon be deployed to collect the dejected driver who had been running 4th in the Andretti Autosport car.
One Safety Car was followed in quick succession by another, with Charles Pic seemingly out-breaking himself into the final hairpin whilst trying to pass Loic Duval. Pic’s China racing car avoided Duval but unfortunately collected Jarno Trulli; with the contact putting the Italian out of the race and the Frenchman into the pits a few laps later for a drive through penalty.
Piquet proved on both restarts that he was going to fight tooth and claw to take his first win of the year, with the Brazilian sprinting away on both occasions after great runs out of the hairpin. Piquet only lost the lead once during the race when the pit-stop phase occured; with Bruno Senna electing to stay out and lead a lap. Piquet would retake the lead from his fellow countryman on the next lap, with Senna emerging from the pits in a nostalgic wheel-to-wheel battle with Nicolas Prost. Senna would win the fight to take 6th, with Piquet, Vergne, Abt, Di Grassi and Buemi ahead of him with 14 laps to go.
Daniel Abt would have been elated before the race when he learned that the fastest qualifier, Sebastien Buemi, had been moved down to 10th after exceeding the maximum power output. This, after all, had put the German onto the pole position for the race. The smile was wiped in the closing stages of the ePrix however. Abt was running 3rd when he got a drive through for exactly the same problem. He would fall down to 14th.
Another driver to have bad luck in the final few laps was Nicolas Prost. He had joined Abt on the front row of the grid, but he would soon join him further down the order after a drive through after a ‘Touring Car style’ pass on Jerome d’Ambrosio into the hairpin. The e.Dams driver bumped the Belgians car which allowed Nicolas to pass. Prost would go on to take the fastest lap of the race and the championship point that comes with it.
The Long Beach ePrix was one of the only races not to have a nose-to-tail fight for the lead in the closing laps, with Nelson Piquet Jr being able to coast home on the final lap to take his first Formula E victory. His father had taken his first win of his Formula One career 35 years previously on the streets of Long Beach, so it was only fitting that his son, baring a tribute helmet for the anniversary, should take his first win of his Formula E career. Interestingly, Piquet had been the winner of the FanBoost win along with Jean-Eric Vergne and Sam Bird, but the race-winner elected not to use the boost at all during the race.
Jean-Eric Vergne finally got on the podium after running out of luck during his season so far. The Andretti driver had impressed right from his début in the third round, but he missed out on the win after mechanical issues. This podium now see’s him 8th in the championship despite missing the first two rounds of the season. Third on the podium would go to Lucas Di Grassi, who would take the championship lead by 1 point ahead of race-winner Nelson Piquet Jr.
Buemi put in a solid drive to take 4th place after being demoted to 10th from pole position. He finished just ahead of Bruno Senna, who equalled the Mahindra Racing team’s best finish of the year with 5th place. 6th would go to fellow ex-Formula One driver Jerome d’Ambrosio, with Buenos Aires ePrix winner Antonio Felix da Costa claiming 7th after a combative drive for Amlin Aguri. Jaime Alguersauri was just behind in 8th, with Loic Duval and Stephane Sarrazin completing the points paying positions.
Sebastien Buemi took the 3 bonus points for setting the fastest time in qualifying, despite the fact that he was demoted to 10th after the session, with Nico Prost claiming one bonus point for the fastest lap of the race.
There is now a month break until the Formula E championship heads to the second historic street circuit in a row. The Monaco ePrix takes place on the 9th of May, with Lucas di Grassi heading into the event with the championship lead.

In a previous post, I talked about how packaged-goods maker Unilever, in pursuit of a communication-friendly office space, wound up with one of the greenest headquarters anywhere. I’ll continue my three-part tour of Hamburg’s extraordinary, offhand approach to sustainability with a story of how a branding exercise turned into an exemplary piece of sustainable design.
The story begins with Deutsche See, one of Europe’s biggest fish-processing companies, which was looking for a distinctive new package for its fresh fish. The company wanted something that made Deutsche See’s products stand out in the grocery store, a readily identifiable package that distinguished its haddock fillets and salmon steaks from all the others in the refrigerated case. The company also wanted the new package to perform better — to keep the fish looking as fresh and unmolested as possible until purchase.
Deutsche See enlisted feldmann+schultchen, a cutting-edge marketing and design firm based in Hamburg, to create the new package. Now, feldmann+schultchen is very much a high-concept, big-idea firm — its best known work in Germany was the rebranding of a staid old Hamburg beer called Astra, creating a heart-and-anchor logo for the beer that so perfectly encapsulated the city’s sailors-at-the-tattoo-parlor past that many Astra drinkers now believe it to be the “original” trademark of Astra’s 19th-century forefather, St Pauli Brewery.
Such is the holistic total-brand approach to their work that when you talk to feldmann+schultchen's partners about it, they tend to spend a lot of time good-naturedly musing as to whether they’re a product design firm, a brand management firm or an ad agency. Because the answer is that they are all of the above, all at once.
High concept they may be, but there’s nothing particularly sustainability-bent in f+s’ approach to design, and when Deutsche See hired the firm to re-invent its packaging, its primary goal was to differentiate itself amid a grocery-aisle sea of superficially identical fish fillets. There was no intent, in other words, to make fish packaging more efficient, let alone to reinvent the way Deutsche See brought its seafood to market on more sustainable lines.
Stage one of this transformation was feldmann+schultchen’s new grocery-store packaging. The firm has never lacked for ambition — the company's pitch to Astra was that they wanted to give it a brand as iconic as Nike's swoosh — and in redesigning Deutsche See’s fillet trays, they wanted to develop something that was, as Arne Schultchen put it, “as easily recognizable as a bottle of Coke.”
In pursuit of this lofty goal, though, the team began with practicalities. In particular, they noticed that conventional flat fish packages tended to get bowed upward by the pressure of the shrink wrap as it was heat-shrunk into place on the production line, ruining the look of the fish and sometimes even smushing the fillets with the package itself. Their insight: What if the package was pre-bent? What if indeed you bent up the sides of the tray, turned them into a sea-wave configuration, and used the package’s distinct shape itself as the brand? The resulting “wavepack” was a huge hit, a highly distinctive, award-winning design that just happened to also reduce the amount of fish that got wasted due to bent packaging.
Deutsche See's iconic wavepack, which turns the package itself into the brand.
The next phase of f+s’ branding campaign with Deutsche See was the point where the intrinsic logic of sustainability came more fully into play. Again, the goal was brand-oriented, not green-minded; Deutsche See wanted a distinctive package. Namely, a new fish crate. Fish is brought to the grocery store in big plastic tubs, which are often stinky, smudged-up old things that hugely detract from the attractiveness of the product even during the brief time they are visible to consumers while grocery cases are being restocked. What’s more, conventional plastic tubs can be wasteful — if the ice they're filled with melts before the fish packages get unloaded, water can inundate the packages and ruin the contents. And the tubs themselves rarely last more than a few trips before the fish-scented meltwater renders them unfit for re-use.
The inventive minds at feldmann+schultchen had been presented with a branding challenge, but they quickly recognized it as a design failure. And to get to the better-branded fish crate, they decided they had to re-invent the whole thing.
Again they seized on the sea-wave shape, redesigning the plastic bin as an undulating translucent-blue homage to the sea. “The ideal,” Arne Schultchen told me, “would be a slice of the ocean.”
This wasn’t just stylish and clever, but imminently practical. As feldmann+schultchen's designers played around with curvy crates, they realized they could be stacked more easily than conventional plastic tubs, and the curves would keep them stable, eliminating the need for sharp-edged interior notches, which sometimes perforated the seafood packages. The curves also allowed for a slight offset in the way the bottom of one crate lined up against the one underneath it, which permitted a small patch of space for drainage. With no fishy water trapped inside, feldmann+s’ new bins could be re-used indefinitely.
Here’s the resulting product:
Deutsche See's stylish Fischkiste ("fish crate"): shipping container as design icon
From a branding standpoint, Deutsche See’s bins are a triumph, instantly recognizable and associated with a product of superior quality. Not only did it win many design awards, but on high-end cooking shows in Germany, fish fillets are now sometimes brought out onto the set in the stylish bins as a kind of boast that there is a premium product being used.
But more than this, the new fish crates are paragons of sustainability’s baseline practicality. Sustainability is not about doing good for its own sake or giving up on performance in the name of eco-friendliness. It’s about solving problems better. If your problem is an ugly, easily damaged and quick-to-wear-out package, the solution might be to make it work better, smarter, more efficient, with less waste. Brand value is built more durably, after all, on genuine quality. And most of what we think of as hallmarks of quality — endurance, performance, efficiency, elegance, simple practicality — are also virtues of sustainability. Small wonder then, that without even intending to do so, feldmann+schultchen turned Deutsche See into a sustainable packaging pacesetter.

Sharing specific content designed to attract your audience is a large part of inbound marketing. But it isn’t just enough to have a blog, being a part of the blog community is important and it can start with blog commenting. Knowing other blogs in the industry and having a presence by commenting is a great start. In turn, you’re not only becoming a thought leader, but you’re also getting insights into your industry and your customers.
Here are five tips for blog commenting:
- Be Thoughtful, Insightful, and Sincere - This is probably the most important tip of the five. It is important to establish your place as a thought leader. Actually read the article, be mindful, and sincere. Blogs are largely a community, be a part of the community, not just a marketer seeking exposure and links.
- Use a Real Name - People will be skeptical if you use a company name. It also looks spammy. Use a real name so that people can put a face to the comment, not a company.
- Be Positive - Flattery can go a long way when it comes to blog commenting. It is important to be sincere and honest, but also remember that everyone loves a good compliment.
- Identify Core Blogs and Comment Daily - Along with being organized, know who is commenting what blog. Consistency is important and you don’t want to run into a problem where you and a co-worker has commented on the same blog. Commenting often shows that you take the time to read their blog, creating yourself a presence in your industry blog community.
- Be Organized - It is useful to be organized with which blogs you have commented on and when you commented on them. It is suggested you catalog your comments month-to-month. This will be a great resource of industry blogs that you can revisit later.
“Let’s start a conversation.” You hear this a lot I’m sure, but participating in blog commenting is a great way to start a conversation and gain insight to what customers are saying about your product or service. As I mentioned above, blogs are a community, people are looking for a way to connect. This is a great opportunity for you to connect with your customers and establish yourself as a thought influences. Whatever you do, remember, don’t be spam. They don’t like spam, you don’t like spam. Don’t do something you wouldn’t want to happen on your own blog. Don’t wait to be discovered, join in on the conversation.
So, now you’ve learned a few things about making blog comments to increase the inbound traffic to your site. At the end of the day, make sure that your comments are relevant to the subject matter of the piece, make sure that you use your real name in the comments, finally make sure that you direct visitors to a the correct landing page. Once you’ve set up all of these comments, use Google Analytics to watch your site’s traffic increase and use this information to improve your inbound marketing.

I always knew I was not much of a shopping person… which is why when I was younger, I would give all the baagdor of shopping to my mom… And since our choices match so well, it was great fun! 🙂
But not anymore… I absolutely needed to grow up and start doing my own shopping… So, well… I would tag along with my religiously shopper female friends!!
But, this on my trip to shenzhen, I simply lost my patience!! And I realised haggling for every single dollar and moving around with dozens of bags in your hands is so not my kind of thing! I like it better when shopping is done in a fast and impulsive way. Like I had mentioned earlier, I like it better when shopping is done in a giffy, otherwise I think its too much of a waste of time!
Dheela dhaala prolonged kinda shopping is so not my cup of tea! And that fact got cemented once more!!! Yeah I know I am necessarily saying the same stuff again and again, but what the heck! Guess you got the message? If you planning an elaborate shopping extravaganza, DO NOT invite me!! 😛

The v2.93 opt-in continues to receive updates. Over this month we have added some new graphical improvements. But more excitingly we are in the process of a large rebalancing effort. Some of the changes being planned include some alterations to the Substrate to bring them more in line with overall army balancing.
So keep an eye on the opt-in as we continue to work on it in October.
We had our publisher sale this month. Among the games on offer was also Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation. We want to welcome our new players who got the game during the sale. Every neophyte is a ne
A good place to go for Ashes is the official discord server. We regularly host community games there and it is where the majority of our active community members hang out.
Work on the wiki rework is ongoing behind the scenes. Most of it has been tidying up what we started with. With the sale now done with and the rebalancing of Ashes in the next patch continuing we are starting to look at wider changes to the wiki.
The most requested updates coming will be for the unit stats. Of course, this is in flux right now so we want to be careful and this will likely be one of the final things we do with the wiki before its official re-launch.
We are also working on some lore background and adding concept art to the wiki. This work should ramp up in October and we hope to have the wiki done with a final pass for unit stats once the in progress patch comes out of opt-in.
The discord community will be receiving a rework along with the rest of our servers this year. There are a few new features that the discord people have added, and we want to make sue of it. Our hope is that after these updates it will make the overall experience easier and more accessible for players wanting to find others and sharing their knowledge, victories, and spectacular losses. | <urn:uuid:d3377f72-1f84-462a-a03f-156e0bf0d1a2> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/501814/news-ashes-of-the-singularity-escalation-september-2020 | 2021-01-24T15:10:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703549416.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20210124141945-20210124171945-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.965715 | 400 |

|Can you believe the Angry Birds Balloon is STILL floating? We're going on 14 days now!|
I secretly asked Rob's boss for the day off - we woke up early - went out with the kids for breakfast - dropped the kids off at Rob's parents' house - we bought him a new hammer - we (unsuccessfully) shopped for his other present - we bowled four games - we ate bowling alley nachos - we saw Sherlock Holmes - we looked again (unsuccessfully) for his present - we had a surprise birthday dinner with friends - we gave him a crown.
Happy Birthday, Babe! Hope you had a great day!
An extra-special shout out to my mother in law for taking my kids from 11am to 9pm. I'm sure she will sleep well tonight! Thank you times a million, Tammy! We could not have had this amazing day without you!
BDEM: Bowling was a LOT of fun. We paid to have the lane for an hour, and crammed in four games. I've mentioned in the past that we are bowlers - and we are serious about it. We also had so many laughs at dinner, so I think this one is a toss up!

Music and lyrics on all songs by Martin Orford except:
Produced by Martin Orford and Rob Aubrey. Recorded at 'Nomansland' studios, New Forest, between February and July 2000. Engineered and mastered by Rob Aubrey.
Line-up: Martin Orford - lead and backing vocals, keyboards (and orchestration), flutes, acoustic guitar, mandolin (all tracks); Gary Chandler (of Jadis, all tracks except 3,7&9) - rhythm and lead electric guitars; John Jowitt (of IQ / Jadis, all tracks, except 3,7,9) - bass guitar; Steve Christey (of Jadis, all tracks, except 3,6,7,8&9) - drums; David Kilminster (on tracks 1,2&6) - lead electric and acoustic guitars; Paul Cook (of IQ, on tracks 2,6&8) - drums / percussion / tambourine; Michael Holmes (of IQ, on track 5) - lead electric guitar; Peter Nicholls (of IQ, on track 8) - lead vocals; Tony Wright (on track 4) - saxophone
Prologue. This is the first solo album by Martin Orford, the former member and one of the masterminds of his 'native' band IQ. He is also well known for his work in another popular British band Jadis, let alone a few more ProGjects with his participation. Producer, composer, lyricist, keyboardist, flautist, after all, multi-instrumentalist, one of the true activists on the hard road of reanimation of the Progressive Rock movement since the first half of the 'dark 80's decade', Orford has released "Classical Music and Popular Songs" on the IQ's own, already well established label "Giant Electric Pea".
The album. Really, this is an album consisting of about equal parts of vocal based tracks and all-instrumental pieces. But, if the words "Classical Music" in reality correspond with the album's title almost fully, I don't really know why Martin named the songs presented on the album "popular" (Pop!). Here is, I think, a real picture of the nature of this work. Let's begin with the second part of the album title. There are five songs on the album, and three of them I wouldn't dare to name even as songs of the Neo Prog genre. Both opening songs and The Overload are very well composed and constructed since in their arrangement schemes was used exactly the "classical" way - with regular changes of structures, including the vocal themes, changes of tempos and rich, tasteful and quite diverse short and long instrumental parts between the vocals. So, The Field of Fallen Angels, The Overload and A Part of Me (too!) are undoubtedly the Classic Art Rock songs thanks to their truly 'prog' sounding and moderate level of complexity. Also, of course, they would be excellent additions to any IQ album in the '90s, the period in their creation I like most as well as their starting phase in the early '80s. Two other songs - The Days of Our Lives and The Final Solution - with their accessible and clearly melodious vocal lines have an obvious Neo spirit, but their instrumental parts were arranged in a quite diverse and also very tasteful way again. So all in all, I can't call them other than just excellent Neo songs. The main positive characteristics of this album is, however, exactly the presence of all-instrumental pieces and, that's the main thing, all these pieces are very different among themselves. I can't remember another solo album that was made in this, at the first sight, a bit strange way - without any stylistic conception, and that's really good to listen to such an unusual, and in reality innovative solo album. One of the five "classical musics" - Fusion - is nothing but very progressive and intricate full-fledged (played by the band) instrumental with some really 'bombastic' episodes. A real killer of Classic Progressive Rock. The third track Quilmes, performed only by Martin himself, is a true classical piano piece. The Picnic is a composition of the same genre, but played on the acoustic guitar. This is a true acoustic gem, complex and virtuostic, reminding of those wonderful years when the presence on the album of such unique things was considered by the majority of Art Rock Titans as a necessity. Tatras is a kind of very tasteful classical symphonic music. The last track Evensong has the first part of the same sounding, but the "conclusion" of the album was made with the participation of the full-fledged band.
Summary is simple. The most daring solo album and one of at least the few really innovative solo albums I ever heard.

Mom Always Finds Out received a review copy of SI Kids Top Ten of Everything in Sports book for free. All opinions expressed are my own.
My 10-year-old son gets really focused on all things football. Although I don’t have a problem with that whatsover, I do really like that this particular SI Kids book includes ALL the professional sports. It has helped him learn more about other sports and athletes. Everyone needs to know who the greatest athletes of all time are – and according to SI Kids, those would be Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Wayne Gretzky…do you agree or disagree?
The Top 10 of Everything in Sports includes 30 lists of “top 10” rankings that are irresistible reading to sports fans of any age. My son loves looking at this book. I know any kid with an interest in sports would get immediately drawn in to reading all the fun facts. The book is filled with great photographs and tons of sports-related facts. It’s the perfect addition to your young sports enthusiast’s library.
A few highlights of the top 10 lists include:
Clutch Performances: Joe Montana’s game-winning drive in the Super Bowl not only sealed the win, but also the #1 spot on the Clutch list.
Sports Rivalry: Foes for more than 100 years, the Yankees and Red Sox have the most heated rivalry in sports. North Carolina vs. Duke (#2) and Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers (#3) round out the top three.
Records: Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hit streak remains one of the greatest and most difficult to break. Wayne Gretzky’s 215 points in a season comes in at a close second.
Fans: Don’t mess with the Oakland Raiders’ faithful, who frighten opponents from the south end zone of O.co coliseum, known as the Black Hole. Alabama Crimson Tide (#2) and Pittsburgh Steelers (#3) round out the top 3.

Goodbye stinking hot Summer, and hello lovely placid Autumn! You’ve no doubt noticed the cooler mornings and nights and chances are you’re enjoying a rest after the peak growing season in your garden.
Autumn is great time for gardeners, as it lets us get in and tackle some of those jobs that were just too hard to justify during the peak of summer. If you’re not sure what you should be doing in your garden, then read on for our Autumn To Do List.
Autumn Gardening Tips
Grab some hand tools and do some cutting!
Autumn is a top time for you to prune your shrubs and trees before the Winter time lull. This is the last real growth period for most plants for the next 4 months or so, so it’s really the time to get things looking the way you want them to until Spring.
Cutting back hedges and shrubs moderately, and removing dead wood is good activity, as it will get you the shapes you want, whilst leaving and promoting enough growth to sustain the plants over winter.
It’s important to note, to keep an eye out for flower buds when you’re pruning at this time of year. Lots of trees and shrubs set their Spring and Winter buds this early, and cutting them off will mean no flowers, and no one wants that!
Start working on your lawn
I like to do 3 things to my lawn in Autumn. Cut, feed and treat. In Autumn the warm days and cool nights mean your grass has begun to slow down, but is still actively growing in the root system, meaning a little bit of tough love is quickly repaired and the risk of damage from a heat spell is less likely.
The first is bringing the height right down in the early stages of Autumn. By gradually mowing your lawns lower and lower at a high frequency (about the same as you were doing in Summer) you can seriously drop the length of your grass to a more manageable height if it got away from you during Summer.
Getting lower will also help knock a bit of thatch out of your turf which will make it less ‘spongey’ and make your Spring time turf reno a heap easier.
Second is feeding. Spring is the best time for fertilising lawns, but a quick feed in Autumn will help kick a bit of last minute growth into the root systems and help repair any damage the hotter days caused, as well as give the lawn the best chance to make it through Winter looking good.
Lastly, Autumn is a prime time to test your pH and treat your soils. Grab a soil pH testing kit and moisture meter from any hardware store and test a few different spots in your lawn.
Depending on the results, you might need to add some stuff to your lawn to level out the pH to around neutral (7). If your pH is low, add some ground limestone.
If it’s high, add some Ferrous sulfate, which has the added bonus of boosting the iron levels in your lawn.
Get rid of those weeds
Autumn is the perfect weather to get outside and pull some weeds. The cooler weather means that you wont fry in the sun, but also means that most weeds should be slowing down as well, and be very close to setting seed.
If you’ve kept on top of the weeds during the Summer, now is the time to get out and really dig them out. Pull any about to seed, as well as any little seedlings that are sprouting up.
Feel free to cultivate your soil a bit too, because you’re about to have a plentiful supply of mulch…
Time to do some raking
Autumn is all about deciduous trees. They’ll be starting to turn and drop by now, and you know it’s only going to get worse.
See our review on the best garden rakes in Australia.
Getting a jump on fallen leaves means the mess becomes more manageable, and you wont lose patches of grass or garden that have been smothered.
Throw your leaves into your compost bin, or mulch them up with your mower and send them straight onto your garden beds.
Note from Jim: It’s that time of year again where the days get shorter, and colder. This week I’ve pulled together some general tips and ideas for how to keep your garden in the best possible shape at this time of year, heading towards winter.
Hope you find this helpful, let me know in the comments below. It’s the end of summer. As the leaves change color and the grass grows slower, you can feel nature preparing for the long winter ahead.
Autumn is a time of preparation. Each plant and each blade of grass on your property is storing nutrients and energy so it can survive the winter and blossom in all its majesty come spring.
Add in some mulch
Mulching every autumn is important for your plants. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and prevent erosion while improving overall soil quality. If you want to make your own mulch, fall is the best time to do it.
Rake up your fallen leaves before they get wet and sticky and chop them up into smaller bits. You’ll need about three inches deep of mulch to sprinkle around your shrubs and flower beds.
Mow Your Lawn
You’ll need to continually mow your lawn, even in autumn, to keep it vibrant and healthy. The recommended autumn height for lawns is three inches.
This height helps lock moisture inside every blade of grass. Leave a third of your clippings on the lawn to act as a natural, organic fertiliser.
Wait! If you don't want to do neither, install a robot lawn mower instead.
Fertilise Your Lawn
Don’t forget to feed your grass and other plants every autumn because this is in fact the most important yearly feeding they will get for a couple of reasons.
First of all, your lawn needs to recover from any damage it may have sustained from the summer sun.
Secondly, it needs to prepare for the winter by storing up nutrients, just like a bear going into hibernation. Feeding your lawn in Autumn will take care of both.
Because plants – and that includes weeds – are busy absorbing energy and nutrients in the fall, apply an organic weed killer that the weeds will also absorb and you’ll guarantee they won’t return next spring.
You have many natural weed killers on the market to choose from or you can make one yourself. If you buy an organic weed killer, the main ingredients to look for are citrus or corn gluten.
Because these types of weed killers cost a bit more than traditional chemical herbicides, you may want to make your own natural weed killer.
To mix your own organic weed killer, dilute vinegar in water if your lawn is sensitive; but for tougher, sturdier lawns, you can use the vinegar by itself.
Apply the solution directly to the weeds. You may have to use more than one application to completely kill the weeds.
For bigger lawn owners, be sure to check our review on the best garden sprayers in Australia.
Be sure you are planting native, Australian perennials that provide shelter and food sources for native wildlife, such as bees and birds. In the autumn, leave these perennials alone and wait until spring to cut them back and promote new growth.
This technique will help the critters who help our lawns, our gardens, and the world’s food supply to flourish.
It’s important to remember that although things seem to slow down in autumn, our lawns and gardens are as busy as ever and they need your continued, loving care to stay healthy and vibrant.

Navy, Transport Ministry fight over proposed Hydrographic Agency
The Nigerian Navy and the Ministry of Transportation on Monday in Abuja strongly contested over who should be in control of the proposed Hydrographic Agency.
The contest came up at a one day public hearing organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Navy on a bill for an act to establish Hydrographic Agency in the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the proposed agency is to carry out Hydrographic and Ocean graphic survey to support safe, secure and thriving oceans, including Ocean Metrology for National Defence and Civil Requirements.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Mrs. Magdalene Ajani, noted that the bill projected the agency as a wing of the Nigerian Navy.
Ajani added that the proposed bill had inadvertently skewed the agency in favour of the Nigerian Navy where the civilian working would be subservient to the Navy.
According to her, the ministry observes that there seems to be apparent militarisation of the proposed agency as the proposed bill situated the primary responsibility of the agency in the Navy.
She, however, stated that the ministry had a special relationship with the Nigerian Navy for securing the nation’s maritime from external aggression.
Ajani stressed that the bill sought to cede the agency’s power to the Navy, adding that such move could be detrimental with negative consequence and further create undue rigidity.
Rear Admiral Chukwuemeka Okafor, who represented the Chief of Naval Staff, said that it would be a huge national security mistake to domicile the agency’s responsibility in the hands of the civilian.
He stated that most of the maritime security originated from inland water, adding that the civilian would not have the requisite charts to maneuver the water.
Okafor, however, stated that the bill would ensure that the Federal Government derived maximum benefits from its implementation as it would close gap in revenue leakages.
“We should not allow our revenue to keep going into the hands of foreigners. The bill seeks to facilitate robust maritime security,” he said.
He said that the agency would place Nigeria in a good place to perform other Hydrographic assignments, adding that Nigeria should be able to produce a chart other mariners could use internationally.
Rep. Yusuf Gadgi, the Chairman, House Committee on Navy, stated that stakeholders were invited to ensure balance and fairness, adding that the bill was yet to become an act and had not been passed by NASS.
He said that stakeholders were to make suggestions, while enjoined stakeholders to speak like they were making correction and not like NASS had already passed bill.
“We want you to make your input to ensure the bill stand the test of time, we will listen to you and the committee will do justice,” he stated.
The Surveyor General of the Federation, Mr. Samuel Adeniran, noted that the proposed Hydrographic agency was a laudable move and in line with the provision of survey coordination Act 2004.
He stated that it was in conformity with international best practices and would be of immense benefits to the country.
Hydrography is the science that measures and describes the physical features of bodies of water and the land areas adjacent to those bodies of water. Surveying with multibeam echo sounders is the primary method of obtaining hydrographic data.
By mapping out water depth, the shape of the seafloor and coastline, the location of possible obstructions and physical features of water bodies, hydrography helps to keep our maritime transportation system moving safely and efficiently.
Multibeam echo sounder beams sweep the seafloor as the ship passes over the survey area. Multibeam echo sounder beams bounce off the seafloor and return to the ship where the depth is recorded. | <urn:uuid:355f105e-ad30-4d02-84a8-7f94127f1246> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.marinenetworknews.com/2021/06/29/navy-transport-ministry-fight-over-proposed-hydrographic-agency/ | 2022-10-01T17:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336880.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001163826-20221001193826-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965624 | 791 |
The Obama administration is seeking to strengthen gun control after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., including plugging holes in the background check system by directing numerous government agencies to search their records and identify any information relevant to identifying dangerous and mentally unstable persons.
The administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (“NICS”). The NICS is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally, the mentally ill and others. The administration is attempting to bring all federal agencies in line with the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Law) which mandated background checks for gun purchases.
Since the creation of NICS, the Veterans Administration has been reporting all veterans who have been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary within its system.
This wide net includes anybody found by a “court, board, commission or other lawful authority” to be lacking “the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs” for a wide variety of reasons, including those with a bad memory or the inability to balance a checkbook, and not necessarily those who pose a potential threat to themselves or others.
If the Social Security Administration adopts this same test, potentially millions of people will be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive Social Security monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.” These are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” who have an appointed representative to manage their financial affairs. Those persons would likely be identified through the reporting of anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage their own pension or disability payments and has been assigned a fiduciary as a result.
Social Security would generally report names under the same “mental defective” category as the VA. The agency is still figuring out how that definition should be applied.
Opponents of the plan maintain that the implementation of such a background check system could unfairly exclude large numbers of people who pose no real danger to others from gun ownership. Gun rights activists, mental health experts and advocates for the disabled say that expanding the list of prohibited gun owners based on financial competence is wrongheaded. Though such a ban would keep at least some people who pose a danger to themselves or others from owning guns, the strategy undoubtedly would also include those incapable of managing their funds but are not dangerous, violent or unsafe.
About 2.7 million people are now receiving disability payments from Social Security for mental health problems, a potentially higher risk category for gun ownership. An addition 1.5 million have their finances handled by others for a variety of reasons.
Gun rights advocates and the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency, have indicated they would oppose any policy that used assignment of a representative payee as a basis to take any fundamental right from people with disabilities.
On July 21, 2015, Congressman Sam Johnson (R-Tex), chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security, along with 18 other legislators, sent a letter to the Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Carolyn Colvin, urging her to stop providing information on Social Security Income recipients to the NICS.
Does the administration’s approach go too far?

Born in 1966 in Armenia (a republic in former Soviet Union), Naira began painting as a teenager, influenced by an older cousin who painted as a hobby. Naira’s interest in art led her to the University of Fine Arts and Theatre in Yerevan, the largest city and capital of Armenia, where she majored in industrial design. During her university years, Naira broadened her artistic range and further developed her oil and watercolor painting techniques by studying with leading Russian artists.
Naira immigrated to the US in 1991, where she enrolled in community art classes, learning the basics of throwing and hand-building ceramics, becoming quickly enamored of the process. she quickly developed a reputation as a talented ceramic artist, and in 1995, Glendale Community College, California, bestowed its “Artist of the Year” award upon her. From then on, Naira has worked hard to continue dramatically improve her art, aided by the influence and critique of her husband Rafik, who studied fine arts and sculpture at the University level in Austria from 1978-1982.
As a guest artist and studio designer, Naira has taught numerous local workshops on throwing and under glaze painting techniques at schools, festivals, ceramic studios, including Color Me Mine in Larchmont and Studio City, California, and at museums, including the Japanese Museum of Art in Los Angeles.
Recently, Naira and Rafik have combined their talents in the studio attached to their house to create ceramic tile wood tables, wall sculptures and functional pottery, all inspired by nature’s countless variations of shapes, colors, and plays of light. Their three young children, who happily make use of all of the varied materials and hands-on instructions available in mom and dad’s studio, visit them throughout the day. | <urn:uuid:319e9b93-5aa7-484a-b1d5-a4257cc89298> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://studio84west.com/artists/naira/ | 2023-09-26T06:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00580.warc.gz | en | 0.971682 | 377 |

Diddy was on hand to celebrate producer Rico Love’s birthday this weekend. He wasn’t the only one either. Kelly Rowland, BDR, Fat Joe and Pharrell were also seen on the scene.
Here’s some info about the party:
Roberto Cavalli and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour pulled out all the stops Saturday night at SLS Hotel South Beach in honor of Rico Love’s 30th birthday celebration during Art Basel Miami Beach.
The evening’s cocktail menu included a choice of GREY GOOSE® Cherry Noir Trey Noir, GREY GOOSE® Cherry Noir Triple Platinum and GREY GOOSE® Le Fizz.
Attendees included Eva Cavalli, Kelly Rowland, Fat Joe, Pharrell, Russell Simmons, Andre Harrell, Janice Combs, Angie Beyince, DJ Cassidy and Adriana de Moura, among others. Rico stepped on to the red carpet as photographers yelled “Happy Birthday Rico,” and Eva Cavalli soon joined him for a couple’s photo session by the paparazzi. Two hours in to the event, guests were asked to take their seats at the side of the pool to witness an exclusive Cavalli fashion show, orchestrated backstage by Eva Cavalli herself. The Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2013 collection featured was inspired by the poetic decorations of the Art Nouveau period. Cavalli did not show the collection at New York Fashion Week this year, making this special presentation for Rico’s birthday the only showing in the U.S. This year, Rico and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour announced they are giving back to the community by donating 10% of the proceeds of sales from the Cavalli fashion show and pop-up store, as well as in-store sales, to Usher’s New Look Foundation. DJ Affect was hired to provide the beats throughout the cocktail reception and fashion show.
As the fashion show came to a close, invited dinner guests quickly made their way inside Katsuya, the hotel’s Asian-inspired restaurant, for the private dinner portion of the evening.
Approximately 100 invited guests were seated for the private dinner, with Rico’s table of 10 facing the entire room around him. As the Edamame was served family-style on to each table, guests were treated to a first course of Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, Creamy Rock Shrimp Tempura and the chef’s selection of assorted classic rolls, including Baked Crab Cut Rolls and Vegetable Roll. The second course comprised of Chicken Teriyaki, Robata Grilled Kobe Skirt Steak, Miso-Marinated Black Cod, Stir Fry Vegetables and Steamed White Rice. As the first course began, Rico’s five-layer birthday cake was wheeled in to the side of the room, encased with notes and bars of music etched in to each tier with Rico’s name on the very top in red, and a HUBLOT logo written in white icing on the middle layer. The base of the cake illustrates the keys on a piano, with ‘Happy 30th Birthday’ written beneath it. A Hublot watchcase with watch inside was designed in cake to resemble a replica of his own.
As the second course was presented, Sean “P Diddy” Combs, made a grand entrance with an entourage of Rico’s friends.
“I knew Rico while he was growing up in Harlem,” Combs said. “ I was blown away by his music then, and I still continue to listen to it now. Please raise your glasses to our friend, Rico Love.”
Owner of Hublot Americas, Rick Delacroix, then made a birthday gift speech to Rico, and presented him with a limited edition Hublot Miami watch, named the “Hublot 305,” of which only 10 were made. Rico took the watch from its box and wrapped it around his other wrist and showed it next to his existing Hublot timepiece.
“I am lucky, honored and privileged to have such a warm and heartfelt group of family and friends around me on such a special day,” said Love. “I’d like to thank Eva and Roberto Cavalli, and our sponsors, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour, Hublot and GREY GOOSE, for making this momentous birthday occasion the most memorable ever.”
The impressive dessert line-up included Chocolate Lover’s Cake, Passion Fruit Caramel Donuts and Mochi Ice Cream.
Rico Love is one of the foremost music producers in the hip hop and urban music industry, having written hits for Usher, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Trey Songz, Fergie, Romeo Santos and Diddy, among others.

Iranian oil exports rose 10 percent in November after sanctions against the Islamic Republic were eased as part of an interim deal with world powers, the International Energy Agency reported Wednesday.
Defending the deal, though, Washington’s sanctions czar said Wednesday that pressure on Iran will continue to mount over the coming six months.
David Cohen, the US Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, wrote in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that the US “will ensure that Iran will not be able to export one additional barrel beyond the current low levels.”
“I am confident that the sanctions pressure on Iran will continue to mount. Iran will be even deeper in the hole six months from now, when the [interim] deal expires, than it is today,” Cohen, who has been the Obama administration’s main adviser on Iran sanctions, said.
Despite Cohen’s comments, the IEA reported that Iranian oil exports rose by 89,000 barrels per day to a total of 850,000 barrels per day last month, as the sale of crude to China and Taiwan rose, according to CNN.
European and American oil embargoes remain in place, in accordance with US assurances that the toughest sanctions will hold while the P5+1 and Iran continue to negotiate.
The interim deal reached in Geneva last month reportedly allows Tehran to keep enriching uranium to 3.5 percent, limits the number of centrifuges without reducing them, and keeps the Arak heavy water reactor open. Iran in exchange receives an easing of sanctions to the tune of $6 or $7 billion, a fraction of the $80 billion in revenue which Iran lost last year, according to Cohen.
He noted that the limited relief of sanctions on Iran’s petrochemical industry would not yield significant results for Tehran, as most buyers seek longer term contracts, which wouldn’t be guaranteed beyond the terms of the current temporary agreement.
“Iran is in a deep recession — its economy contracted last year by more than 5%, and it is on pace to contract again this year. Its annual inflation rate now stands at about 40%. Iran’s currency, the rial, has lost around 60% of its value against the dollar since 2011,” Cohen wrote.
On Sunday, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the deal had already boosted the country’s economy.
Rouhani told an open session of parliament that, after the “success” of the talks, investors were gravitating to businesses and the stock exchange.
“Economic activities have been shifted to the stock exchange from gold, hard currency and real estate,” said Rouhani in his televised speech. He gave no specific figures. | <urn:uuid:26abf16f-f785-46c2-8215-ec86a7d4eefa> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.timesofisrael.com/as-sanctions-ease-iran-sees-oil-exports-jump/ | 2016-02-08T02:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701152097.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193912-00147-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956392 | 565 |

Corporate Vanguards: The Contemporary Role of Organization Altruism
It is critical for a company to be recognized by their brand as well as to be known for supporting positive corporate responsibility through community initiatives. But will attaching themselves to one side of the debate on a controversial issue impact that brand image?
Corporations have become more active on a politically charged and divisive stage leading University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Public Relations Assistant Professor Myiah Hutchens and doctoral students Lincoln Lu and Kalyca Becktel to wonder whether doing so impacts overall brand adoption and currently held corporate perception. Meaning, if a company publicly takes a stand one way or another on a political topic, will consumers view the company differently?
Immigration issues laid the groundwork for the researchers’ recent study looking at whether a corporation’s stance on a hot button issue would increase a brand’s relationship with the public and transform perception of corporate responsibility in the form of altruism. When a company rallies behind the refugee caravan, will their brand and sense of corporate responsibility be viewed in a different light by consumers?
Evaluating Walmart, which is perceived as having a politically conservative-leaning corporate culture, and Target, considered to hold a more liberal ideology toward corporate responsibility, and three different levels of support for the refugee caravan, the research determined that the public’s view of the brand was not affected by the level of support provided to the caravan. However, consumers did view the corporations as more altruistic depending on which level of support they provided the caravan. In particular, Target was seen as more altruistic as more explicit support was provided, whereas there was no difference for Walmart.
The results indicate that the relationship between a company’s brand and their position on social matters is complicated. Particularly, the more explicit support for socially relevant issues, even as divisive as immigration reform, led consumers to see Target as more altruistic and caring about the greater good, while the perception of Walmart was not changed. However, just because a company is deemed altruistic does not mean that consumers will make the connection between the brand and their altruism.

The research was originally presented at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Conference in August 2019.

Is the cost of kindness a bill worth paying?
Published 7 July 2014 by Hayley Cox
Half of Brits spend between £10 and £50 each month on treating their friends or family to unreciprocated gifts.
How much do you spend a month on being kind to others? Perhaps you like to treat your friends to a cup of coffee every now and again, or offer family members a lift without expecting them to contribute to the petrol. Or maybe you regularly give to charity.
These are all acts of kindness we don’t expect to be reciprocated, and yet many of us fork out hundreds of pounds every year on them.
The cost of kindness
New research* compiled on behalf of thinkmoney reveals that nearly half of UK adults spend between £10 and £50 every month on treats and gifts – not including birthday and Christmas presents – for their family and friends. This includes surprising them with a bunch of flowers, treating them to a drink at the bar or even to a meal out.
Over the course of a year this generosity adds up to as much as £600, which is three-quarters of the average monthly rent in the UK – although many would argue that it’s a price worth paying.
These kind acts are not always directed towards loved ones though; many people in the UK also regularly give to charity. Nearly a quarter of Brits donate between £10 and £50 a month to charitable causes – although this is half the number of people who splash out on treating their family and friends.
And of course, charity and gifts for people they know are not the only ways in which people spend their hard-earned cash on being kind. Three out of four respondents revealed they give away money every month to things like whip-rounds in the office, putting spare change in a collection box or giving money to someone who’s homeless.
Money well spent
However much their generosity ends up costing them each month, many may argue that it’s worth it to put a smile on someone’s face. Knowing that we’ve made someone’s day better – even if it’s a total stranger as a result of a charity donation – can be a feeling that’s hard to beat.
If you have an account with thinkmoney, you can ask for any direct debits you have set up to donate to charity to be included in the commitments that are always budgeted for. This means that the cash you need to cover these – along with your bills and rent or mortgage – will be ring-fenced each month from your income so you know it will be sorted.
Meanwhile, if you’re the type of person who regularly splashes the cash on your friends and family, you can keep track of what you’re spending using your Online Account Management. That way, you know that an act of generosity isn’t going to leave you out of pocket.
*OnePoll questioned a nationally representative sample of 2,000 adults aged 18 and over between 6th June and 16th June 2014, of whom 500 were Scottish residents. | <urn:uuid:8ee6bb67-7648-43cb-be6d-7bab015877d6> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.thinkmoney.co.uk/news-advice/Is-the-cost-of-kindness-a-bill-worth-paying-0-4278-0.htm | 2019-02-16T23:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481249.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190216230700-20190217012700-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.97255 | 642 |
