Failing to control their egos, the armored hero and the God of Thunder embark on a frontal fight in the woods.
Walt Disney Pictures has debuted another clip for "The Avengers". Instead of presenting a scene that shows the Earth's Mightiest Heroes working hand in hand to defeat their enemy, the snippet captures the moment when Iron Man has a frontal fight with Thor. The two show off their superpowers by attacking each other in the forest.
Iron Man and Thor are joined in The Avengers by Captain America, The Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., the six superheroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster sparked by Loki.
Starring as the armored hero and the God of Thunder respectively are Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth. Also supporting the movie are Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson.

SeatCheck.Net inspections are provided by SafeDad, a SAFE KIDS USA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and Safe Kids USA Senior Checker, recipient of the 2004 Kuska Award*. I have 20 years of experience installing almost every type of child seat in a wide variety of vehicles. In addition, I attend quarterly updates, periodic refresher courses and various annual conferences on Child Passenger Safety, far beyond the basic re-certification requirements. I have taken additional training courses in child passenger safety for school buses and for special needs children. As a member and past coordinator of DuPage County SAFE KIDS for a decade, I also volunteer my time doing free inspections at checkup events on behalf of various local organizations. I have lived in the Chicago area my whole life and currently reside in Naperville with my wife and three children. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in engineering and worked at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for 10 years before choosing to stay at home with my young kids.
It was difficulty installing a child seat for my oldest son that began my journey back in 1999. Today, my efforts are to reach as many parents as possible with information on how to protect their children while transporting them in motor vehicles. After publishing various websites on the topic, I began my professional Seatcheck Car Seat Installation & Instruction Service in 2004 to personally help parents learn how to safely use their child safety seat. I will check that your child seat can be properly installed in your vehicle, check it for damage and recalls, review the instructions for installation and make sure your child is seated properly in the carseat. Most importantly, I will help YOU learn to install it correctly in a relaxed, one-on-one environment. The instruction is not rushed and parents are welcome to ask questions before and after your inspection by phone, by email or on our free forums at Car-Seat.Org or my facebook group where I or another technician, instructor or advocate will answer your questions as quickly as possible.
Looking for child safety seat recommendations and reviews? Please feel free to visit CarseatBlog, where my colleagues and I provide recommendations, tips, advice and expert carseat and family vehicle reviews! I also provide consulting and other services for parents, schools and organizations. These include speaking engagements, classes and assistance, carseat installation parties and also personalized assistance in selecting and purchasing the right carseat for your child and vehicle. I am also an automotive journalist and member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association and can offer shopping services for safe vehicles as well. My carseat installation service can save the life of a child and are also much less expensive than other professional services!

* The Kuska award is presented to an individual who demonstrates extraordinary dedication to the field of child passenger safety.

What it takes to make heart healthy functional foods: The story of LRC
The probiotic sector has long seen condition-specific strains backed up by data from gold-standard clinical trials as central to its future. Yet, to date such strains remain an idea more discussed than realized. Heart health strain Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 (LRC) is an exception. The rise of the probiotic has created both a blueprint for strain development and multiple opportunities to improve heart health through yogurts, drinks and other functional foods.
LRC has come through a series of heart health clinical trials and other studies that demonstrated its ability to act on cardiovascular biomarkers and potential to be included in a range of functional foods. Now, the owner of LRC, UAS Labs The Probiotic Company, is looking to license the strain by channel around the world.
UAS Labs envisages extensive opportunities for LRC. Having already placed LRC capsules in the US food-drug-mass and health food store channels, UAS Labs is now seeking to add the strain to foods including yogurts, fruit juices, chocolate, cheese and soy-based beverages. The plan is underpinned by research into the strain and the benefits of delivery via functional foods. LRC has been tested in two randomized controlled clinical trials — and a third is underway — giving it a claim to the title of most effective and clinically-documented heart health probiotic strain.
Developing a heart health probiotic
The story of LRC begins at Micropharma, a Canadian company that UAS Labs acquired in 2014. The motivations for the deal relate to what makes LRC different. In LRC, UAS Labs CSO Dr Greg Leyer saw a textbook example of how to identify, develop and validate an effective, condition-specific strain. Most importantly, the development process led to a strain supported by nonclinical and clinical data, both on its efficacy and potential for use in functional foods.
LRC’s development was different from day one. Rather than screen lots of strains in search of any probiotic qualities, Micropharma set out to find bacteria with a particular quality, namely elevated activity of bile salt hydrolase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol metabolism. After screening more than 100 strains, Micropharma identified LRC as having favorable probiotic qualities and producing high levels of the enzyme. Optimization further boosted its activity.
The value of this approach to strain discovery and development was demonstrated in a series of randomized controlled clinical trials. One study randomized 114 people at multiple trial sites to receive yogurt loaded with either LRC or no additional probiotics.1 The other clinical trial gave either LRC capsules or a placebo to 127 subjects.2
Levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the treatment arm of the yogurt study were supported at healthy levels when compared to placebo. Subjects who received LRC in capsule form saw their LDL, also known as bad cholesterol, supported at healthy levels, again when compared to placebo. Both trials also recorded healthy levels of other biomarkers of cardiovascular health, such as apolipoprotein B100, total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol and the ratio of LDL to HDL.
Taken together, the results suggest LRC can support the body’s natural ability to eliminate unwanted cholesterol while also maintaining the normal amount of cholesterol the body produces.
The R&D program also generated data on other biomarkers less directly associated with heart health. Notably, levels of the circulating form of vitamin D increased by almost 25%, a significant rise that outstrips the changes typically achieved by probiotics. Given the incidence of vitamin D deficiency and its implications in a range of metabolic conditions, the data suggest LRC could play a role in improving health outcomes outside of the cardiovascular sector. A gastrointestinal symptom survey also linked LRC to improved digestive health.
Supported by these data, LRC has become cardiologists’ preferred probiotic, according to a 2015 survey of more than 200 board-certified cardiologists. Now, UAS Labs wants to build on this platform by making LRC available in a range of functional foods in markets around the world.
Creating heart healthy functional foods
The plan to use LRC to create heart healthy functional foods is supported by data suggesting the strain is suitable for use in such products. Not all probiotics have such formulation flexibility. A probiotic strain can be effective when it is freeze-dried in capsule form, but ill-suited for use in foods. Issues with quality, quantity and storage can render probiotics ineffective or non-viable in foods. Equally, some strains affect the taste and texture of the food, making it undesirable.
LRC has come through multiple tests suggesting it is unaffected by these shortcomings. The first randomized controlled trial showed LRC supports healthy levels of cardiovascular health biomarkers when formulated in a yogurt. Data from the yogurt clinical trial were comparable to those generated by the study of LRC in capsule form.
Subsequent formulation studies found LRC is a good candidate for addition alongside the starter culture or after the yogurt has been through this initial process. Adding a probiotic to the starter culture enables formulators to use less of the strain — as it grows with the yogurt — but some formulators prefer to add it later. LRC gives companies both options.
UAS Labs has also looked at how LRC copes with the commercial storage conditions of yogurts and consumption in this formulation. One study showed levels of LRC remain high throughout the shelf life of yogurts when kept in real-world conditions. Another project found LRC, a hardy strain in capsule form, survives simulated gastrointestinal transit even better when formulated in yogurt. This performance is the result of the extra buffering from stomach acid provided by the yogurt.
Buoyed by these findings, UAS Labs has looked at how LRC copes with being formulated into fruit juices and soy-based beverages. As fruit juice is acidic and soy-based beverages are alkaline, these formulations present contrasting challenges to probiotic strains. LRC coped well with both environments.
Over 60 days in a fruit juice with a starting pH of 3.9, LRC experienced minimal losses, suggesting the formulation is commercially viable. Stability in the soy-based beverage was better still. Potency in the soy-based drink was virtually the same after 60 days as it was at the start of the study. Importantly, strain survival rates in both formulations were comparable regardless of whether the product was kept at 4 or 8 degrees celsius. Some commercial fridges are 8 degrees celsius.
Partnering with UAS Labs
UAS Labs sees the data as supporting the use of LRC in yogurts, fruit juice and soy-based drinks, and it is looking to work with food and beverage companies to help them create heart healthy products. The scope of this plan extends beyond the food and drinks tested to date. UAS Labs also views LRC as a good candidate for formulation into chocolate, cheese, frozen dairy desserts and fats and oils.
The company’s belief in the far-reaching potential of the strain is validated by its experience and expertise. UAS Labs was founded in 1979 and has focused solely on probiotics ever since. In recent years, the company has made investments in its manufacturing and R&D capabilities.
It is this mix of experience and expertise that led UAS Labs to single out Micropharma and its LRC strain as unusual and notable. The same characteristics have driven UAS Labs as it has built on the platform created by Micropharma to position LRC as a strain suitable for incorporation in a range of functional foods in markets around the world.
Now, UAS Labs is looking to work with food and beverage companies with an interest in heart healthy functional foods to write the next chapter in the development of LRC.

Barclays has decided that it will not participate in any application for permission to appeal against the High Court judgment of 20 April 2011, which dismissed the action brought by the British Bankers’ Association regarding the assessment and redress of Payment Protection Insurance (“PPI”) complaints.
Barclays has also agreed with the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) that it will now begin to process all on-hold and any new complaints from customers about PPI policies that they hold. These customers will be contacted, and Barclays will assess and address their complaints as quickly as practicable.
Bob Diamond, Chief Executive, Barclays said:
“We have taken this decision because it is in the best interests of our customers, as well as for Barclays and its shareholders; creating certainty, particularly regarding past issues, is of benefit to all parties.
“We don’t always get things right for our customers; when we get them wrong, we apologise and put them right. That’s our commitment to our customers, and it applies to the way in which we will deal with PPI complaints.”
While important aspects of the handling of PPI complaints, and therefore the cost of doing so, are not yet certain, Barclays is taking a provision to cover the cost of future redress and administration of £1bn in the second quarter 2011. | <urn:uuid:5a55e94a-0055-4115-a6d4-45e2fa5e14cb> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.newsroom.barclays.com/content/Detail.aspx?ReleaseID=1973&NewsAreaID=2 | 2014-04-23T09:38:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223202457.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032002-00148-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961627 | 282 |
Delmon Young was placed on the Detroit Tigers restricted list this weekend, but Major League Baseball decided to hand down their own punishment. MLB announced yesterday that they had suspended Young for seven days without pay as a result of his arrest. Young has been charged with third-degree assault and an aggravated harassment hate crime.
Last week it was reported that Young was arrested following an altercation in the streets of New York. Returning home from a bar, Young allegedly made anti-Semitic comments to a Jewish panhandler which resulted in a dustup with a group of bystanders.
During this altercation, a man alleged Young scratched him. It was reported that Young was extremely intoxicated that evening and that he had to be sobered up in his New York hotel before being taken in by police.
The Tigers placed Young on their restricted list this weekend, and Major League Baseball said potential further punishment would be determined by an individual evaluator.
MLB released a statement explaining their decision of the seven game suspension yesterday, noting that the move was retroactive to April 27 and that Young will be eligible for reinstatement on May 4. Young will also be required to “participate in a treatment program as a part of the discipline”. Commissioner Bud Selig said that Young’s actions “cannot and will not be tolerated”.

Latest Social Forecast Shows Shifting Platform Use
Nearly 200 million people, or 60.5% of the US population, will use a social network at least once a month this year, up 2.6% over 2017. User growth will remain low throughout the forecast period. However, shifts in devices and—more importantly—social platforms used will be increasingly noticeable.
According to eMarketer estimates, the number of Facebook users will rise 0.9% to 169.5 million in 2018, driven by adoption among older age groups. However, there will be declines between 5.6% and 9.3% among users under 25, for a loss of 2.1 million.
The biggest beneficiary of this outcome will be Snapchat. By the end of this year, 68.0% of internet users ages 12 to 17 will use the platform. Penetration in this age group will outstrip that of Facebook and Instagram (47.2% and 43.6%, respectively).
Meanwhile, Instagram’s user base will increase 13.1% to 104.7 million. Those 35 and older who are creating profiles and connecting with (likely younger) family members less active on Facebook are primarily responsible for this growth. | <urn:uuid:110b9ee3-8333-459a-8fd1-bd9d050dddf6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.caneycreekstudio.com/post/latest-social-forecast-shows-shifting-platform-use | 2020-07-13T13:34:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657145436.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713131310-20200713161310-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.926883 | 248 |
As a young child, Eric Gaines originally thought he would be a computer engineer. Gaines was an advanced student and finished high school at the age of 16 and then went on to study pharmacy and computer science. At 18, he was working as a network administrator for a pharmaceutical college. When Silicon Valley’s “Dot.Com” bubble burst, Gaines decided to study pharmacy.
He graduated from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University earning a doctorate in pharmacy.
Gaines was always strong in math and science and he calls himself a “clean professional.” He said, that the medical school process took too long, with a residency and then (if you choose to specialize) a fellowship. Gaines also wasn’t too fond of bodily fluids so pharmacy was a good field to pick.
He started in retail pharmacy but then changed jobs to a hospital pharmacist where he was quickly promoted to a managerial position. In that new position with the hospital he recognized the importance of optimizing pharmacy therapy with cost. Gaines decided to go back to school and earn a master’s degree in pharmacoeconomics from the University of Florida at Gainesville.
After he received his master’s degree, he was promoted to Director of Pharmacy Services at Baylor Medical Center at Garland. As director, he oversees a team of 40 people and the distribution of medications throughout a 240-bed hospital. He makes sure that the hospital is in compliance with all rules and regulations set forth by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy.
Gaines also hires and coaches team members, as well as maintains strong working relationships with physicians, nurses and allied health professionals.
How important is math in becoming a pharmacist?
“Math is one of the foundational courses. Being an above-average student in math and science are beneficial in the field of pharmacy. Having a good understanding of biology and chemistry, along with anatomy and physiology, is important in understanding not only how the drugs work but it is also essential to know how they interact with the body.”
What was the most important thing you learned in pharmacy school?
“The most important thing I learned in pharmacy school was to treat every patient as if they were my family. The medications that you are preparing or dispensing have to be perfect just like you would want it for your family. The other thing I learned is ‘almost isn’t good enough.’ In our field, you must get it right. It has to be perfect.”
What do you look for when hiring someone?
“I look for the appropriate educational background. This person should have a general zeal for the field and be a team player that has a positive attitude and a commitment to do a good job.”

While bigger districts with bigger deficits are fighting the unpaid lunch bill battle with cheese sandwiches, Clovis and Portales schools are still in the trenches making phone calls and sending home statements.
School districts across the state have seen a rise in unpaid lunch bills with the economic downturn.
Portales Municipal Schools Superintendent Randy Fowler said the issue isn’t a new one.
“We always have some (unpaid bills),” he said. “It has not been a major problem in our district, but it is something we have to work at constantly.”
Clovis Municipal Schools’ child nutrition supervisor Paul Kline said this year’s bills are showing an increase from last year.
“Probably because of the economy in general, this year seems a little tougher than last year,” he said. “It’s an issue because we are self-supporting based on the funds we receive from the government.”
Clovis Municipal Schools serve 9,700 meals a day, including breakfast and lunch, according to Kline.
Kline said the district goes through several steps before going to the cheese sandwich policy, where the child is given a cold entree instead of a hot one. After a student is verbally warned, notices and letters are sent home. If that doesn’t get a response, Kline said, they make a call the parents.
Portales schools go by a similar system.
“We’re real sensitive to the student. Giving them a cheese sandwich is something that’s real hard for us to do. We try to avoid it as much as possible. It’s not their fault,” Kline said.
Portales Schools food service director Shirley Chatterton said 150 students in the district have unpaid bills.
“None of them are substantial,” she said. “We’re lucky we don’t have a huge problem with it.”
Chatterton said the district has not denied a student a meal in the eight years she’s been with the district.
“The cheese sandwich policy doesn’t make sense to me personally,” she said. “A district that does that is still out the expense of the meal and labor. In a way, it’s singling them out.”
Chatterton said there has been some discussion nationally to get rid of the reduced lunch price, which cuts the cost of lunch from about two dollars to 40 cents. She said having only free and paid options would relieve some of the issue because most of the people who fall in the reduced category would be moved into free.
“A lot of times those that are falling into the reduced are struggling. They just don’t have it. If we move some of those families into the free lunches, they’ll receive the benefit,” she said.
Kline said changing the classifications would help the families and the district. The more families that qualify for free lunch, the more money the school district receives from the United States Department of Agriculture.
“We want people to fill out these applications. It’s beneficial to the district and everyone in general,” he said. | <urn:uuid:3c19eefc-dbf4-463e-ad6b-3006ae61bbaa> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.pntonline.com/2009/03/02/unpaid-lunch-bills-mounting/ | 2015-08-29T12:44:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064445.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00074-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968162 | 693 |
INTERNATIONAL DENUNCIATION OF THE CRIMINALIZATION OF COPINH AND THE CONTINUAL REPRESSION AGAINST RÍO BLANCO
Human Rights observers declare: To halt the bloodshed, stop the financing of the Honduran army and police
La Voz de los de Abajo, an international human rights organization that has been accompanying Latin American social movements for more than 14 years, once again denounces before the international community and the Honduran authorities the persistent harassment, repression and criminalization against the indigenous community of Rio Blanco and the indigenous organization with which it is affiliated, the Civil Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). We repudiate with indignation the indictment made against indigenous members of COPINH for their struggle in defense of the Gualcarque River, the community of Río Blanco and the cultural heritage of the Lenca people in the face of the threat from the transnational hydroelectric project Agua Zarca. This legal action is even more cynical because it comes a week after the people who should be facing legal charges – the soldiers and officials of the Honduran army who are openly collaborating with the companies that want to build the dam – shot down an unarmed indigenous person in cold blood.
|Tomás García, murdered by the Honduran army during a|
peaceful protest against the Agua Zarca dam project
In July we had already expressed our worry about a possible bloodbath if the Honduran government didn’t immediately stop the militarization of the area and the collaboration between the military, police, the hydroelectric companies and their private guards. Exactly as we warned, one week later there were two people dead, one of whom was Tomás García, the aforementioned indigenous man who was killed by a soldier from the army during a peaceful protest. We hold the Honduran government responsible for this killing and once again call for an end to these crimes against humanity against the Lenca indigenous people. These acts are yet another reason why we are pressuring the U.S. congress to cut off aide to the Honduran military and police.
The Lenca indigenous community of Río Blanco through its Indigenous Council has made clear on many occasions its clear and firm opposition to the Agua Zarca hydroelectric project. Many times they have expressed that they do not want to see their territory flooded, destroying natural resources of extreme cultural and spiritual importance to the Lenca people. In the face of the initiation of the project by the Honduran company DESA and the transnational Chinese company SINOHYDRO in clear violation of the rights of indigenous communities as laid out in article 169 of the United Nations International Labor Organization, the community decided to defend their rights to their land and resources with an occupation of over 100 days of one of the access roads to the site along the Gualcarque River where the companies want to put the dam.
We visited the community for two days during the month of July and we have interviewed community members, military, police and representatives of the hydroelectric companies during and after that visit. Our investigations have led us to several conclusions based on clear evidence:
· Without a doubt there is close collaboration between the police, the army the private security and the DESA and SINOHYDRO companies. The military and police advise the private security, sleep and eat in the facilities of the companies and use their vehicles.
· There is no concrete evidence for the accusations made against the Río Blanco community and other members of COPINH besides the statements of people with a direct interest in the building of the dam and/or the justification for the presence of the police and army.
· There is an abundance of evidence and documentation of the abuses against the community. Nobody denies that Tomás García was killed by bullets from the army even though he himself was not carrying a firearm. The army does deny the accusations by kids and elders of Río Blanco who say they have had weapons put in their faces and receive constant threats but there are hundreds of members of the community who have been witness to this behavior.
· The speeches of the COPINH coordinators and other members of the Río Blanco community have always been calls to peaceful and non-violent action to defend the Gualcarque river for environmental, cultural and spiritual reasons. Our delegation saw with our own eyes one of the assemblies in which the same people now facing political charges conducted a democratic and peaceful meeting, never inciting anybody to violence and on the contrary always emphasizing their strong opposition to violence.
· The authorities have never investigated the possible involvement of third parties interested in the Gualcarque River such as Freddy Nasser, Miguel Facussé and others with interests in the area.
· The criminalization of the struggle of the people of Río Blanco and other members of COPINH is clearly political in nature and intended to stop their struggle and wipe out their organization. The fact that the same authorities who recently killed in cold blood are now pressing charges against their victims is cynical, nefarious and reprehensible.
Our organization will work with all of our allies from the Honduras Solidarity Network in the United States and will be in communication with congressmen, representatives from the United Nations and other human rights organizations to spread the truth about what is happening in Río Blanco and demand:
· That those responsible for the human rights violations be investigated, charged and punished
· An end to the criminalization of social movements and the political legal attack against COPINH
· Stop economic support for the Honduran army and police until there is respect for human rights

It may have been Platinum and Palladium's week in terms of performance, but individual precious metal investors such as GoldMoney customers haven't bought into the rise.
Head of Dealing at the online trader, Roland Khounlivong, said: 'Individual investors such as our customers are more interested in the liquidity of gold and silver. We have seen some of our High Net Worth customers taking advantage of the rebound in gold and silver prices to profit take as the reduction in geopolitical risks turns attention away from gold's safe haven qualities.
'Interestingly, whilst in terms of value more gold has been sold than bought this week through large investor profit taking, there were in fact more individuals buying the yellow metal than selling it. Those who did buy have continued the trend of physical metal moving from the west to the east and are tending to place their orders in our Malca-Amit vault in Singapore and remove holdings from Switzerland in particular.
'Over the next week there aren't any significant bullish drivers on the horizon for the precious metals market. Tomorrow's March US Employment Report might give some direction, and next week the FOMC meeting and China's Inflation release may also have an impact.'
GoldMoney has more than 22,000 customers, and stores $1.4bn of precious metals for its customers worldwide.
16:00 03/04/14: Week on week prices: Gold fell 0.7% to $1,285.86; Silver gained just 0.8% to $19.85; Platinum rose 3.1% to $1,435.50 while Palladium, made the most gain of 3.7%to $787.22.

- Timothy Taylorarrested in 2009 and served five years in prison on a drug trafficking charge. Annie Dookhan is on record as having handled evidence in his case; Taylor has asked for his case to be reopened.
- Matthew Segallegal director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. The organization sued the district attorney of Suffolk County on behalf of three petitioners who had been convicted of state drug charges based on tainted evidence. On Tuesday, district attorneys in seven Massachusetts counties announced they would dismiss a combined 21,587 cases.
- Mallory Hanoramember of the Boston-based group Families for Justice as Healing.
Among the tens of thousands of people whose lives have been affected by the massive evidence testing scandal in Massachusetts, where chemist Annie Dookhan has admitted to falsely claiming evidence was illegal narcotics before even testing it, was Timothy Taylor. He was arrested in 2009 and went on to serve five years in prison on drug trafficking charges. Annie Dookhan handled the evidence in his case. For more, we speak with Timothy Taylor.
AMY GOODMAN: We’re also joined by Timothy Taylor. Evidence in your case was handled by Annie Dookhan. Can you talk about what happened to you, Timothy?
TIMOTHY TAYLOR: OK. First, I was arrested in 2009. And what ended up happening was, there’s a chain of custody. There’s—from the police station to the lab, there’s a chain of custody that’s been broken. And no one knows who authorized the evidence that—the suspected evidence drugs that they had, why—who sent them to different labs throughout the state, when they could have done it all in that one place. So now we run into burdens of chain of custody. And apparently now, the weights of what they had, from the time they—from the transportation from the police department to the lab, it became more than what it started out to be. So we don’t even know what’s going on with that. It’s been tampered with from the beginning.
They withheld—there were two drug searches. One was definitely not mine. The other one was. And I’ve been—I’ve been forced, basically, under duress, to plead out. Discovery has been withheld from me from five years. The original drug search was withheld. It was never entered into the Department of Justice system. It was never—they was never in Martha Coakley’s investigation. And they came up five years later, when they was trying to—when I appealed for a new trial. I was told that Annie Dookhan was not the leading chemist on my drug search, and they can prove it, by having the original drug search that they never submitted in the first place. So, what was in front of the judge was somebody else’s drug search, that I’ve already plead guilty to, because I seen the—I had to choose the lesser of two evils of the time that I was told that I would get, 16 to 30, on the drug search that they had.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk, Timothy, about how this drug conviction has affected your life, from where you live to getting a job?
TIMOTHY TAYLOR: I was living in a home. I was volunteer working at a store. My family ties, it—my relationship, it affected my—my program that I had for myself, that I had made up with City Councilor Charles Turner. The training—it was called the TEECH program. It was the training, education, the employment, the career and housing. Those things definitely affected my status, from the time from me being incarcerated.
AMY GOODMAN: Your public housing application is on hold until you appeal your conviction? You were attempting to adopt your son—
TIMOTHY TAYLOR: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: —while you were incarcerated, but then another family got to adopt him?
TIMOTHY TAYLOR: Yes, yes. It created a big family issue. It took me away from my family. I’ve lost numerous family members. I was not allowed to go to their funerals while I was incarcerated—my blood brother and my uncles and, you know, my stepfather. The punishment was greater than anything you can ever think of.
My education—since it was a drug crime, it’s going to stop my Pell grants, my federal, my FAFSA. I’m trying to get back in college. It affected that, definitely. Employment—I was trying to—I can’t get a decent job, paying good money to, you know, survive. As far as my career, I’ve been trying to go back to college. It all revolves around the same issues. And the housing is just—you know, they’re not—they didn’t want to hear nothing from me. Basically, I was to stay homeless for—I guess, for a felony—10 years, walked the streets, I mean, just trying to survive.
AMY GOODMAN: Assistant Attorney General Anne Kaczmarek said during Dookhan’s hearing that there was no evidence that Dookhan was motivated to get defendants off the streets. But I want to turn to this email exchange Dookhan had with Assistant U.S. Attorney John Wortmann from June 10, 2009. Wortmann wrote, quote, “Annie—thanks. Sorry to be so bothersome lately. But the Summer approaches and we need to take some of these guys off.” Dookhan replies, quote, “No problem. I have the same attitude…get them off the streets.” Matt Segal, can you talk about the significance of this?
MATTHEW SEGAL: Well, it’s very significant, and it’s emblematic of the larger issue, which is that not only was there misconduct by Dookhan, but there was a failure at every step along the way to do the right thing by these people, until litigation forced the hands of the folks involved. And we’re seeing that—you mentioned the other scandal in Massachusetts, the Sonja Farak scandal, and there, too, there are now allegations not only of misconduct by the chemist, but misconduct by prosecutors, state prosecutors. And so, we’re deeply concerned that the reaction of public officials in Massachusetts, some of whom acknowledge that drug use is a public health issue, has been to avoid doing justice and to keep hurting people.
And that’s just—it’s just so terrible, because what you just heard from Timothy is that our—the way we deal with the drug problem in America is not just to punish people for what is a public health issue, but to keep punishing them, for years, long after they finish serving a sentence of incarceration. It’s just to keep punishing them. And we really need to take a look at what that approach is doing to the lives of people in Massachusetts and across the country.
AMY GOODMAN: I mean, what about deportations? Do you know, of these cases, how many people were deported after being imprisoned on false evidence?
MATTHEW SEGAL: This is a real problem. We’re not sure of the exact number, because, particularly given what we’re hearing from the federal government these days, we don’t have a trustworthy means of providing to the federal government a list of the people who were wrongfully convicted, so that the federal government can check to see who was deported, because we can’t, in good conscience, supply such a list to the federal government. So, this is something that we were talking about in court with a judge and with prosecutors as recently as last week. We’re deeply concerned about the problem of people who have been deported, and we’re going to do the best we can to try to solve it.
AMY GOODMAN: Mallory Hanora, what are you doing now with this dismissal of these tens of thousands of convictions? How do people find out? I mean, some of them have served years in jail and are now out.
MALLORY HANORA: Right. I know one particular person who I’ve been communicating with since we’ve been doing the organizing, who is calling today, just waiting and holding his breath to know whether or not his case has been dismissed. And he is waiting to feel what he describes as “finally free.”
I agree with Matt that people do continue to be punished even when they get out. And that stigma that’s attached to people with convictions is really preventing them from being a whole member of the community like they deserve to be. We organized hundreds and hundreds of people to call the District Attorney’s Office, not just with the message of “dismiss the cases,” but with the message of “stop prosecuting people for drugs.” This is hurting our communities. It’s not contributing to public safety. And we need something else besides a criminal punishment response to drugs.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally—
MALLORY HANORA: We’re going to keep organizing—
AMY GOODMAN: I want to ask—
MALLORY HANORA: —because we—
AMY GOODMAN: Go ahead.
MALLORY HANORA: Sorry. We just need to keep organizing, because the Amherst scandal that we’re talking about, there’s thousands more people for whom there’s absolutely no plan right now to get them justice. Some of those people might still be inside. So we’re going to continue to keep the community pressure up to dismiss all of these cases, release people who are still in jail, and then, hopefully, transform the way that we’re responding to drugs in Massachusetts.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Matt Segal, you have these two lab chemists, in Amherst and in Boston, but who else had to collaborate to make this happen? I mean, with—in the case of Annie Dookhan, police and others knew that they could go to her. I mean, she was handling so many cases. She wasn’t even testing this. But this was the fastest way to get evidence in a case. Who else? What is the chain of command here of those who are responsible?
MATTHEW SEGAL: Well, Annie Dookhan was a worker at a—for the state Department of Public Health. And there was clearly a failure of supervision. There was a failure to—of protocol to even tell the public, once it was known that she was committing this conduct. And as you say, there were some rather interesting correspondence between Annie Dookhan and other people, when she was saying things like “Let’s get people off the streets.” That doesn’t sound like someone who is doing science. It sounds like someone who is trying to harm people.
But, you know, I think that the—you know, without—I don’t want to get too far down the road of accusing anybody. We certainly haven’t done that in this case, accused anybody besides Annie Dookhan of wrongdoing. What we’re saying, though, is that as long as the justice system tries to put people in prison for these types of offenses, and to do it on the cheap, these kinds of scandals are going to happen. They’re going to be inevitable. And so, the response from the ACLU, from public defenders, from advocates like Mallory, and from people standing up for their rights, like Timothy, that needs to be just as powerful and just as strong.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank you all for being with us, Matthew Segal, ACLU of Massachusetts; Mallory Hanora, Families for Justice as Healing; and Timothy Taylor, who had evidence in his drug case handled by Annie Dookhan. He was arrested in 2009, served five years in prison.

Astrology of Saturday, August 22
The Sun is leaving Leo for Virgo territory today. So daily work, service, the acquisition of new skills, health care and teaching are going to be the theme of the next 30 days. The Moon is in sociable, fair and equitable Libra today.
The emphasis is on serving the needs of another. (Sun/Mercury in Virgo). Fairness and social justice, as well as an appreciation of beauty are squarely in Libra's wheelhouse. (Moon in Libra).
If individual needs are treated unfairly, ignored perhaps, expect assertion or aggression in return. The emphasis on social justice makes the fight or flight pattern apparent - don't tread on me!- or I will call you out about it! It's a good day to make a stand - fairly of course. New ideas, responses to changed circumstances are favored now.
There is a grand cross - a four-way intersection, if you will - in the sky today involving Venus in Cancer opposing Jupiter/Pluto in Capricorn and Moon in Libra opposing Mars in Aries. The old, traditional institutions are showing stress in a new environment. People can see clearly the challenges that must be faced as they answer the question "Who am I now?" | <urn:uuid:4796dcba-bc0a-411e-82c9-3bd6bcce1524> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.lindasherwinconsulting.com/single-post/2020/08/22/astrology-of-saturday-august-22 | 2021-07-29T22:01:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153897.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20210729203133-20210729233133-00261.warc.gz | en | 0.957346 | 260 |
On average, windows that were installed correctly and that homeowners maintain should last about 20 years. Regardless of how old your windows are, however, you want to make sure that they’re up-to-date, protecting your interiors, and preventing the loss of heating or cooling.
Whether you’re a brand new homeowner or it’s simply your first time replacing your windows, you’re probably wondering about the average cost to replace home windows.
In the end, there are a variety of factors that can affect window replacement costs. These range from the number of windows you need to be replaced to the types of windows you’re looking for.
Read on for our guide to home window replacement and find out more about how much you can expect to pay.
A Quick Glance at the Average Cost to Replace Home Windows
So, if you’re looking for the quick answer to your question about window replacement costs, here it is. On average, window replacement can cost anywhere between $200 and $1,800 per window–a median price of about $650.
As you can see, this range is pretty massive. It’s difficult to nail down a true average because properties can be so different and homeowners’ needs and desires for their windows vary.
Breaking Down the Factors That Affect Window Replacement Costs
A better way to get a sense of how much you can expect to pay is to unpack the factors that can affect the cost of home window replacement. Some of the biggest factors that will affect cost include materials, types, sizes of your new windows, as well as the labor required to install them.
Window Frame Material
The frame material you choose will come down to the function and appearance you expect from your new windows. Popular window frame materials include wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, and fiberglass.
One of the most durable and affordable options is vinyl. On the low end, windows with vinyl frames can cost about $100 per window. However, on the higher end, they can cost up to $900 a window.
Fiberglass, aluminum, and composite windows are more durable than vinyl, but also more expensive. Windows with wood frames run in the middle, although they may lead to more structural issues in the long run. Most homeowners who opt for wood window frames either prefer the appearance or own a historical home with specific architectural requirements.
Window Type, Glass Size, and Glass Type
Window types refer to the style of your windows as a whole. Common window types include single-hung, double-hung, picture, storm, and bay windows. The type of windows you choose won’t affect cost nearly as much as the size–particularly the glass size.
A good rule of thumb is that the larger the piece of glass per window, the more you can expect to pay. In fact, one large, single-pane window can cost more than a double-pane window of the same size. Additionally, if your windows are not a modern, standard size and require custom-cut glass, you can expect to pay more per window.
Glass type will also affect the cost. The more your window does for you–for example, blocking UV rays or providing extra resistance to harsh weather conditions–the more it will cost.
When you’re having replacement windows installed, you aren’t just paying for the materials. You’re also paying for the labor required to install them.
That means that things like the location of your windows can impact the overall price. For example, installing windows on the second or third floor tends to require more time and equipment. That means that replacing windows higher than the ground floor will cost you more money.
Does that mean that you should try to install windows yourself and cut the labor costs? Not exactly. Installing windows improperly–a more likely problem when going DIY–comes with a high cost, given that you’re likely to lose energy through your windows and require replacement far sooner.
Signs You Need Window Replacement
You may not know exactly how old your windows are, but you don’t always have to hit the 20-year mark to know that it’s time to replace your windows. Signs you need window replacement include:
- Cracks in the frame or glass
- Warped frames
- Windows that no longer open or close properly
- Windows that let in a draft or let out heating and cooling
- Windows that do not provide the protection you’re looking for from UV rays, severe weather, pollution, and more
In some cases, window replacement is necessary when you simply no longer like the style of the windows you have!
Choosing the Right Window Professionals for You
How do you choose the right window professionals? There are a few things you’re going to consider.
First, make sure that your window professionals are local to your area. That way, you can rest assured that they understand the particular climate-related needs your windows must fulfill.
Second, make sure that your window professionals are well-reviewed. If you have neighbors who recently redid their windows, ask them about how they hired and whether or not they’d recommend that company to you.
Finally, make sure that your window professionals can take care of everything from start to finish–and then some. The last thing you want is to hire a company that can only do part of the job or won’t come back to maintain your windows in the future. A good example of what you want is Renewal by Andersen Windows–one-company accountability is crucial.
Invest In Your Windows and Preserve Your Property
The average cost to replace home windows will vary widely from property to property. Our best advice is to start with a free estimate from a local company. In the end, the cost to replace your home windows is worth it!

Now that we’re firmly in September and students are getting into the groove of a new school year, it’s time to revisit our post about college farms and gardens. In the programs listed below, students are actively involved in all aspects of farming from greenhouse management to field planting, and from harvesting to distributing farm-fresh products. College farms provide opportunities for both learning and research and can be a great way to earn credits and internship hours!
This week we’re focusing on college farms along the West Coast. We know that we’ve missed quite a few impressive student farms…so let us know about them in the comments below!
And be sure to visit Rodale Institute’s student farm list to learn about additional farms near you.
Stanford Community Farm – Stanford University
The Stanford Community Farm dates back to 1885 when it was the Palo Alto Estate. Today the farm is run by a combination of faculty, staff and students. This organic farm keeps farming and agriculture front and center at the university—as exemplified by student farmers and an Earth Systems class taught on the farm. Spread over a one-acre lot, the farm has a fruit orchard and many different student and community plots.
Organic Grower’s Club – Oregon State University
The Organic Grower’s Club is a completely student-run, organic farm. The farm began in 2000 by a group of agriculture science students who wanted to add hands-on experiences into the curriculum. The farm spans two acres and now has over 300 students and 400 community members. Farm produce is sold to subsidize operational costs and summer student internships. Volunteer on the farm! Thursday Night Work Parities happen every week 4:30-dark—with free hot supper!
Organic Farm – Evergreen State College
A five-acre area on the Evergreen campus accommodates a farmhouse, garden, biodiesel facility, compost facility, greenhouse and a 38,000 square foot, certified organic, crop production area. Students at the college enrolled in the Practice of Sustainable Agriculture Program become interns on the farm and grow, harvest and sell their bounty at both a campus farm-stand and through a CSA.
Contact: (360) 867-6160 or email the Farm.
Agricultural Sustainability Institute – University of California Davis
The Agricultural Sustainability Institute started in 1977 and continues to serve UC Davis students, faculty, school children and community members. The program focuses on sustainable agriculture principles and practices, in-field experiential learning, and inspires students’ initiative, creativity and exploration. The university encourages students to participate on the farm and learn through internships, formal courses and research projects. Year-round crop production takes place on the 4.5-acre farm and produce is available through the university’s dining services and campus coffee houses. Fruit and vegetables are also available at the UC Davis Farmers’ Market and through a CSA. Visit the farm anytime from 8am – 5pm Monday through Friday.
Contact:Mark Van Horn or (530) 752-7645
UW Farm – University of Washington
Several students and faculty members wishing to inform the UW community about the global food system started this urban farm in 2006. The farm serves as a classroom for many different university classes from ecology to anthropology—and the farm also hosts a quarterly sustainable farm internship. The farm is a registered student organization with over 600 members.

This book is a fascinating insight into the most well known female super hero. This book does exactly what the title promises and provides a complete insight into the creator of Wonder Woman, and the history of the cartoon strip right up to the present day.
On top of the fascinating research, there are numerous articles, photographs, reproductions of the comic strip and other such delights. I couldn't decide whether to read the book first and admire the pictures later, or look at the pictures first. Literally every page is dripping with information!
The creator of Wonder Woman was Dr William Moulton Marston - incidentally a psychologist who invented the lie detector. He was fascinated by his invention and conducted many experiments - Wonder Woman's golden lasso was to have the same properties. He also had a bit of a thing for bondage and the illustrations of scenes from the comic strip highlight this fetish perfectly. He wanted to create a strong female super heroine, believing that women were less prone to violence and were more honest than men, and thus Wonder Woman was born. Interestingly enough, his private life was just as interesting as he had a polygamous household going on. He lived with two women and it is believed that he had children with both of them.
This book doesn't just talk about the history of the character but also the social and cultural events happening in the world that influenced the world of comics. Other comic super heroes played their part in Wonder Woman's history and this is reflected in the book. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of Wonder Woman - for example one chapter on Dr Marston, another one is devoted to the TV series. I loved all the pictures of the merchandise and the letters to the Wonder Woman fan club.
I originally borrowed this from the library as it cost a little too much to justify (I was unemployed at the time) but am now looking at buying my own copy. The photos and the text are beautiful and make what could have been a dry account of comic books into a rich and colourful look at feminism, superheros and comic books. Even for those that aren't interested in Wonder Woman as such, this book is still well worth a read.
Ask most of us to name three superheroes and chances are we rattle off, in order, 'Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman'. Sixty next year and still looking great in those satin tights, Wonder Woman is the subject of comics historian Les Daniels' latest book, following similar editions on DC Comics' two other biggies. WONDER WOMAN: THE COMPLETE HISTORY (Titan Books) The price screams 'useless coffee table book' but there's some fascinating inormation here, even for someone like me who's familiar with most of Princess Diana's DC Comics adventures of the last 30 years. For instance, I knew Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston was one of the inventors of the lie detector, but if I'd heard the details of his tangled home life previously I'd certainly have remembered. And while a certain fascination with bondage was evident in the strip's early years - Wonder Woman and her sister Amazons would advocate 'loving submission' as the way to world peace, with the heroine herself tied up at least once per issue - it's put into a new perspective by some of psychologist Marston's opinions reported here. There are focuses on the various periods of Wonder Woman, from her Axis-bashing 1940s peak of popularity to 1960s makeover into a powerless Emma Peel-style martial artist - complete with oriental mentor I-Ching (who soon took a powder) - and adoption as a symbol by 1970s feminists. Illustrating the commentary and interviews with creators are numerous colour panels, strip pages and photographs of memorabilia, all making for a beautifully designed package - even comic artist Alex Ross' dust jacket is used to stunning effect, contrasting with a 1940s headshot beneath. Even if you're not a comics fan I recommend this book as an entertaining look at 20th century popular culture through the eyes of one of its most enduring icons.

On July 3, 1776, in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin’s home is ransacked. A secret, ancient relic is stolen. One that Franklin does not admit to owning. Flash forward to modern times. Al Campo, a union worker by day, goes dumpster diving for old, discarded furniture at night. His aim is to refinish the pieces and make and display them in his home. One day he comes across an old couch and inside he finds the stolen artifact. As the story unfolds, sinister Jason Gull is developing a dangerous weapon that can kill its victims without any detection or apparent cause of death. He plans to auction it off to the highest bidder—and there are many foreigners willing to pay, including a religious zealot. Will Campo and the ancient artifact be able to save the world in time? The Boxed Angel is a suspenseful thriller in which an unsuspecting, seemingly unremarkable individual becomes involved in a life and death struggle, first by fate, then by choice. It’s packed with humor, religion, intrigue, history, a love triangle, and faith in one cleverly crafted story. Readers who loved National Treasure and other stories that weave history into modern day life will delight in all the plot twists in The Boxed Angel. Clues are cleverly interwoven into a storyline that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Hello everyone Im' looking fro some advice on the corsa exhaust system. I would like to buy the sport system but worried it will be to loud and the touring will be like the stock exhaust system. I watched some youtube vids and its not the same as being there to hear it. Looking for opinions form members that have either system to help me make my decision. :hmm: thankyou
11-11-10, 03:54 PM
I have the touring system installed and love it. I have had it for 2 years and it has definetely gotten "throatier" with time.
Here is a video from when I first installed it. I will need to post a followup to what it sounds like now. I am glad I went the touring route as I have heard the sport on a same year 2005 Lade and although it sounds good it is too load for my taste.
Went with the sport on mine and there's the odd time I wish I had went with the touring model. Its amazing how little you hear em at highway speeds! But floor it and it comes to life!
11-12-10, 12:20 PM
Just removed Borla exhaust which drove me nuts as soon as I accelerated (cabin reverberation). I installed Corsa Touring and couldn't be happier. Still a throaty rumble, but absolutely no cabin noise at acceleration.

Houston, we have a toddler! My precious little peanut has morphed into a mini human right before my eyes. As of January 25th she officially turned ONE, so of course we had to celebrate… and do it in a big way!
If you know me, you know I NEED to have color in my life. It’s just an essential element in my day to day.
So I thought, how to best fit ROYGBIV into a birthday bash? Bring on the unicorns, of course!
Yes, unicorn parties are all over Pinterest, and yes they’ve been done over and over and over again. But, I don’t think that should dissuade anyone from centering their party around them.
Instead, I decided to give the classical colorful ponies theme a little tweak. And since we have a “warrior princess”, that meant adding some superhero pizzazz.
After all, why CAN’T a unicorn wear a cape? They’re already magical, this just made them extra SUPER.
So with that, personalized Paperless Posts were sent, and it was time to piece together an actual plan. Entertaining a front yard filled with tots and toddlers is easier said than done, and of course I didn’t want their parents pulling their hair out in the process either.
What’s the recipe to making it work? Well, these were the key ingredients that at least did it for ME:
- Adult beverage bucket. Trust me on this one, mommies and daddies need to celebrate their year of survival too! Pair that with a squeezy pouch “baby bar” and the happy hour has officially begun.
- Personalized water bottles – aka themed labels that you DIY stick over basic everyday disposable bottles.
- Ball pit. This is basically a glorified “baby jail” that will keep your tiny guests entertained for enough time to allow you to actually have a conversation with another adult (which if you have a small child you know is NOT something to be taken for granted!).
- Party favors that are usable DURING the party. Why wait until everyone leaves? Let your favors do YOU a favor and distract these babes for a bit! We chose to have unicorn bubble blowers, and they really made the party “pop” (no pun intended).
- Themed treats. A “smash cake” (basically an XL cupcake) is a MUST for any first birthday as most almost-one-year-olds, at this point, haven’t experienced a true sugar-high. We, of course, adorned ours with every food dye variety available (no judging, health-nut moms!) as well as a golden unicorn horn. As for the other munchies, I tracked down rainbow bagels (from NYC), sprinkled donuts (from L.A.), and then as a “berry on top”, asked Amaze Bowls (also L.A.) to come out and whip us up smoothie bowls for the guests. I loved that they were a. colorful b. so tasty c. highly Instagram-worthy d. healthy e. kid and parent approved (a rare combination). Everyone went coconuts for them!
- An “about the birthday girl” poster surrounded by photos taken on her month-a-birthday milestones. This is where all the “Letter Folk”-ing and monthly reminders paid off. Guests loved seeing how much Miss Xena had grown which, by the way, is a LOT.
- Outfits. These are so very essential to really stepping up a theme, but so many people forget about them until day of! Of course the babies tend to wind up with a crown, but why not have mommy and daddy look the part too?! It doesn’t have to be complicated or over the top… Amazon and Etsy saved the day for us here.
- “Fill in the blanks”. As for the rest of the décor (which you can buy, rent OR borrow!), it was a treasure hunt finding themed napkins and plates, tablecloths and cups, flowers, balloons and inflatables but these made such a difference.
At the end of the day, my dearest husband told me that it was fairly obvious that this party was “really for me” as Xena would likely have zero recollection of it. And sure, maybe he was right, but I truly didn’t care. We deserved a day to pat ourselves on the back, cheers with our friends and fam, and acknowledge that before moving on to toddler-hood we have done a darn decent job.
These photos will last a lifetime, and I KNOW Xena will love the trip down this magical memory lane too. No one can rain(bow) on my parade! | <urn:uuid:24628a29-a8e7-4904-a8bb-f33bb67aafb4> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://icaniwillido.com/2019/03/we-are-one/ | 2019-09-18T15:31:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918151927-20190918173927-00083.warc.gz | en | 0.964463 | 1,013 |

ReviewI am the second owner of this truck. Bought it with 13k miles on odometer. Currently has 88,300 pampered miles. Being that I live in Ohio (road salt, harsh winters), there is some rust around rear wheel Wells and had to purchase new tailgate. This thing has been through every terrain and regularly maintained.

Blatche has been a monster in the Philippines' first two games, leading the team in points and rebounds in losses to Croatia and Greece. Blatche has averaged 24.5 points and 13 rebounds, and he's playing 37 minutes a game.
He even hit a long, long 3-pointer against Croatia.
But the highlight has to be the video at the top of this post. Sure, he was called for a travel, but as the video title says, it's a Blatche-tastic voyage.
The Philippines is currently fifth in the six-team Group B, and four teams from the group advance to the next round. The team still has three games in group play.
Team USA has won its first two games, including a 98-77 victory over Turkey on Sunday. | <urn:uuid:594a9793-840d-4b6d-b0c7-9f328c3ff22e> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://blog.syracuse.com/sports/2014/08/andray_blatche_dunk_travel_fiba_world_cup_video.html | 2015-09-05T16:38:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440646313806.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827033153-00031-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985714 | 162 |
Increasing biodiversity in grass verges
The network of grass verges in Surrey stretches alongside 3,000 miles of rural and urban roads, providing a significant opportunity to increase plant and insect biodiversity through the way that these are managed.
In 2019, Surrey County Council committed to review and reduce the frequency of cutting highway verges across the county, wherever safe and desirable to do so. Further, in 2021 to 2022 Surrey County Council adopted an additional initiative; committing to reducing frequency of cutting grassed areas on their managed sites.
Reducing the number of grass cuts each year can allow native plant species to thrive, and in some areas additional steps can be taken to prepare the ground, sow native wildflower seeds and more proactively encourage their growth.
Local residents and communities can play a key role in this effort by:
- Raising awareness locally of the benefits of reduced cuts.
- Planting blue hearts in grass verges, following the steps detailed below.
- Raking and removing grass cuttings after the annual cut, where safe to do so.
- Removing any litter that collects in the longer grass, again where safe to do so.
- Rewilding areas of their own gardens and other green spaces.
The Blue Campaign
We (Surrey County Council) support the Blue Campaign, in which residents are encouraged to:
- Identify suitable grass verges near where they live.
- Gain local resident support to rewild this area (especially people whose properties are directly in front of the proposed verge).
- Contact us to ensure this verge is suitable for being left uncut
- Select 'Planting a blue heart on the verge' as the form option
- Pinpoint the specific verge or green area on the map
- Use the text box within the form to add any specific comments and let us know if you have gained local community support
- Make or purchase a blue heart to plant in the verge.
We will review the proposed location based on factors such as verge width, footway width, sightlines and on-street parking. Where a road is used by cyclists or where there is no footway so the verge is being used by pedestrians, a 1m width strip would need to be cut alongside the carriageway.
If approved, staff will record the Blue Heart location and notify the grass-cutting contractor who manage this verge to bypass this area on their route, or if a partial cut is needed for safety or access reasons, they will cut the sightlines, or may reduce the cut to only a 1m strip along the road or pavement. All verges, including Blue Heart locations, will have one full-width cut each Autumn.
Pages 45 to 47 of Surrey's New Tree Strategy (PDF) provide more detail on the steps above, and on our existing approach.
For more local information and support for residents on rewilding and wild flowering, please contact Surrey's Wild flowering Project.
For more rewilding initiatives see the Rewilding map of Britain or Plant life's transforming the UK's road verges map.

However, since moving to southwest Georgia, I have discovered the beautiful forests and varied terrain of north Florida. In particular, I have found some of the great hiking trails in the Lake Talquin State Forest. Besides the lake itself, which beckons canoes, kayaks and fishing boats, the forest offers trails for hiking, horseback riding and off-road biking.
Lake Talquin is a reservoir created in 1927 by the construction of the Jackson Bluff Dam for generation of hydroelectric power. The name Talquin was formed from the two cities it lies between—Tallahassee and Quincy.
My first experience with hiking in the forest was at the Bear Creek Tract with the Tallahassee Outdoors Meetup Group. This tract is located about 5 miles south of Route 10 on Route 267, just below Quincy. There are 492 acres that include wetlands, sandhills and dramatic ravines. There is also an air-conditioned classroom that seats 60 students and is used for public and private school groups and scouting programs. Some programs include lessons, games, hands-on activities, crafts and interpretive hikes.
There are four trails that total approximately 6 miles.
The 0.66-mile Living Forest Trail is a paved trail and has audio stations that tell the stories of the trees and leads to an observation deck.
The Ravine Trail is 1.8 miles and loops around the pond. It includes some steep inclines. The Bear Creek Trail crosses a beaver dam and follows Bear Creek. It also has some steep inclines. This trail is 3 miles. There is a half-mile spur trail that is definitely worth taking to the top of the ravine.
My favorite tract in the forest is the Fort Braden Tract. There are 1,242 acres and three hiking trails that are approximately three miles each, so you can choose to do a 3-, 6- or 9-mile hike. Each is considered moderately strenuous. There are some short steep inclines where the trails cross creeks and ravines. Each follows Lake Talquin at some point and the middle loop has a large picnic area on the lake with a covered pavilion.
There are also two equestrian trail loops that are 5 to 6 miles each.
Horseback riding is not permitted on designated hiking or biking trails or on the Bear Creek Tract.
There are also primitive campsites for individual and group camping. You must obtain a State Forest Use Authorization for overnight camping from the Lake Talquin headquarters on Geddie Rodd.
The Fort Braden Tract is located on the south shore of Lake Talquin on State Road 20 approximately 9.2 miles west of State Road 263 (Capital Circle West) in Tallahassee.
Hunting is not permitted on the Fort Braden Tract so you can enjoy these trails during hunting season. I have often seen deer on the hikes at Lake Talquin. Bicycles are not permitted on the Fort Braden trails.
The Lines Tract has a designated 9-mile off-road bicycle trail for beginners and intermediate level cyclists; however, there are also designated hiking trails in this tract. It is located just past the Bear Creek Tract 7 miles south of Route 10 on Route 267. Turn left on Cook’s Landing Road. The entrance is on the right 1.5 miles. The mail hiking trail is 6.5 miles; however, there are some spur trails that add up to an additional 3.5 miles. I hiked the 6.5 mile trail with the Florida Trail Association. There were some areas that follow the shore of Lake Talquin. However, the trail is not as well marked as Bear Creek and Fort Braden. You really have to watch for the trail blazes.
The Bloxham Tract is on the southwest side of the lake and is available for group picnics. It can accommodate up to 300 people. There is a large pavilion, grill and restroom facilities. There is a rental fee. There is also a small boat ramp and dock for fishing boats, canoes and kayaks; it is situated on a high bluff.
The High Bluff Camping Area is a primitive camp on the north side of Lake Talquin. There are 34 campsites, a fishing pier and boat ramp. No reservations are required. There is an honor fee box charging $5 per night, first come, first served. Maximum stay is two weeks. RV’s are welcome.
There are three Wildlife Management Areas in the forest that are managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They can be contacted at (850) 627-9674 for more information on hunting or fishing. Be sure to check on hunting seasons before using specific tracts for hiking, biking or horseback riding.
Fishing is allowed in all waterways of Lake Talquin State Forest except on the Bear Creek Tract. A valid fishing license is required. If you take Coe Landing Road, off Route 20, and go all the way to the end, there is a nice boat ramp with access to Lake Talquin for boats, canoes and kayaks.
I had the pleasure of kayaking from there with the Tallahassee Outdoors Meetup Group in April. We launched from the boat ramp and paddled up the Ochlocknee River a short way. We enjoyed watching the nesting osprey, egrets, herons and various other birds. When the reservoir was created, many of the tree stumps remained, so boaters must be extremely careful of these submerged stumps.
Day use fees for hiking trails in the forest are $2 per person. There are honor fee boxes at each tract.
For more information on the Lake Talquin State Forest, contact their headquarters at (850) 488-1871. The Florida Trail Association-Apalachee Chapter often hikes the Lake Talquin State Forest. For more information on this group, check out their website: http://apalachee.floridatrail.org/.
Another group that hikes and kayaks this area is the Tallahassee Outdoor Meetup Group: http://www.meetup.com/Tallahassee-Outdoors/.

Sleep is a hot topic in the media – and so it should be, it’s crucial for life and health and we all do it (almost) every day. The media, however, often scaremongers and catastrophises in order to get people to listen.
If you Google ‘screen use before bed’ you get 100s of powerful messages like ‘I stopped using screens before bed and it changed my life’ and ‘why reading a screen before bed might by killing you’.
So to be the voice of reason and balance, I'd like to emphasise taking a more individualised view of screen use before bed.
There is no doubt that evening screen use is a factor to be mindful of when working to improve sleep. Extended exposure to bright light can suppress melatonin production and this can make sleep difficult. Further, content on the device (e.g. social media, messaging, games, work) independent of the light exposure, can make the mind more alert and not ready for sleep.
Bear in mind that many of the studies that found screen use worsened sleep (under experimental conditions) examined evening screen use of 2 - 4 hours duration. There is research looking at bright screen use of 60 minutes duration before bed that found no effect on sleep. So while we can assume that a 2-4 hour session on a device before bed is not good for sleep, moderate screen use, for some people, may be OK.
Another problem with much of the research is that we don’t know what causes what. Does screen use cause poor sleep or vice versa? Indeed there is some evidence that poor sleep can come first (eg triggered by stress, age-related changes in sleep) and that poor sleepers use screens to cope with that fact that sleep isn’t coming easily.
My message is that you need to work out how sensitive you (or your teenage children) are to screen use before bed. Similar to the effects of caffeine. There are those of us who have a cup of tea just before lights out and sleep just fine, and there are those who truly need to avoid caffeine after midday if they want to sleep well that night.
Different sensitivities. We are all on a spectrum, where do you fit?
If you suspect your sleep is suffering because of a screen, i) dim the screen (check out f.lux/twilight/night-shift apps/function that removes the problematic blue/green light wavelengths), ii) an hour before bed, switch away from screen activities that activate your brain (social media use or games), iii) put a limit on the amount of time you use the device, or iv) switch to an old school book or gentle audio for your pre sleep wind down.

Starting a new day counting gifts is the most effective way to stay focused.
Before my husband and my baby wake up, I try to do at least one thing and that is tuning my mind by reading a few verses and drinking my daily dose of weak coffee.
However, there are days I can’t have this five minute of peace, and I am thrown into a cruel daily life with hundred things to do-making bed, planning a meal, mopping, picking up toys, clothes, and books, emails to respond to, phone calls to make, things to search on Google. Those are the days when I feel my life is my own enemy.
Reading Ann Voskamp’s “One Thousand Gift” has shown me a way to overcome my pessimism. She simply started naming daily blessings by making a list as this:
- Morning shadows across old floors
- Jam piled high on toast
- Cry of a blue jay high in the spruce
By trying to catch the fleeting moments to write down in her list, she comes to a realization that she does not have to be somewhere else to be a happier person. She dares me “to live fully where I am” (the subtitle of the book) I decided to take this challenge a month ago when I finished the book, but my list stopped growing after a week. It takes a discipline to live a life a thankfulness.
Today, reading Ann’s Blog, A Holy Experience, (www.aholyexperience.com) I learned that resisting distraction to stay focused is how we stay disciplined. I would like to post Ann’s tips on staying focused here.

Getting Around in GIMP - Luminosity Masks Revisited
I had previously written about adapting Tony Kuyper’s Luminosity Masks for GIMP. I won’t re-hash all of the details and theory here (just head back over to that post and brush up on them there), but rather I’d like to re-visit them using channels. Specifically to have another look at using the mid-tones mask to give a little pop to images.
Luminosity Masking in darktable:
PIXLS.US - Luminosity Masking in darktable
Let’s Build Some Luminosity Masks!
The way I had approached building the luminosity masks previously were to create them as a function of layer blending modes. In this re-visit, I’d like to build them from selection sets in the Channels tab of GIMP.
For the Impatient:
I’ve also written a Script-Fu that automates the creation of these channels mimicking the steps below.
Once installed, you’ll find it under:
Filters → Generic → Luminosity Masks (patdavid)
Yet another reason to love open-source - Saul Goode over at this post on GimpChat updated my script to run faster and cleaner. You can get a copy of his version at the same Registry link above. (Saul’s a bit of a Script-Fu guru, so it’s always worth seeing what he’s up to!)
We’ll start off in a similar way as we did previously.
Duplicate your base image
Either through the menus, or by Right-Clicking on the layer in the Layer Dialog:
Layer → Duplicate Layer
Desaturate the Duplicated Layer
Now desaturate the duplicated layer. I use Luminosity to desaturate:
Colors → Desaturate…
This desaturated copy of your color image represents the “Lights” channel. What we want to do is to create a new channel based on this layer.
Create a New Channel “Lights”
The easiest way to do this is to go to your Channels Dialog.
If you don’t see it, you can open it by going to:
Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Channels
On the top half of this window you’ll see the an entry for each channel in your image (Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha). On the bottom will be a list of any channels you have previously defined.
To create a new channel that will become your “Lights” channel, drag any one of the RGB channels down to the lower window (it doesn’t matter which - they all have the same data due to the desaturation operation).
Now rename this channel to something meaningful (like “L“ for instance!), by double-clicking on its name (in my case it’s called “Blue Channel Copy”) and entering a new one.
This now gives us our “Lights“ channel, L :
Now that we have the “Lights” channel created, we can use it to create its inverse, the “Darks” channel…
Create a New Channel “Darks”
To create the “Darks” channel, it helps to realize that it should be the inverse of the “Lights” channel. We can get this selection through a few simple operations.
We are going to basically select the entire image, then subtract the “Lights” channel from it. What is left should be our new “Darks” channel.
Select the Entire Image
First, have the entire image selected:
Select → All
Remember, you should be seeing the “marching ants” around your selection - in this case the entire image.
Subtract the “Lights” Channel
With the entire image selected, now we just have to subtract the “Lights” channel. In the Channels dialog, just Right-Click on the “Lights” channel, and choose “Subtract from Selection”:
You’ll now see a new selection on your image. This selection represents the inverse of the “Lights” channel…
Create a New “Darks” Channel from the Selection
Now we just need to save the current selection to a new channel (which we’ll call… Darks!). To save the current selection to a channel, we can just use:
Select → Save to Channel
This will create a new channel in the Channel dialog (probably named “Selection Mask copy”). To give it a better name, just Double-Click on the name to rename it. Let’s choose something exciting, like “D“!
At this point, you’ll have a “Lights” and a “Darks” channel. If you wanted to create some channels that target darker and darker regions of the image, you can subtract the “Lights” channel again (this time from the current selection, “Darks”, as opposed to the entire image).
Once you’ve subtracted the “Lights” channel again, don’t forget to save the selection to a new channel (and name it appropriately - I like to name subsequent masks things like, “DD”, in this case - if I subtracted again, I’d call the next one “DDD” and so on…).
I’ll usually make 3 levels of “Darks” channels, D, DD, and DDD:
Here’s what the final three different channels of darks looks like:
At this point we have one “Lights” channel, and three “Darks” channels. Now we can go ahead and create two more “Lights” channels, to target lighter and lighter tones.
The process is identical to creating the darker channels, just in reverse.
Lights Channel to Selection
To get started, activate the “Lights” channel as a selection:
With the “Lights” channel as a selection, now all we have to do is Subtract the “Darks” channel from it. Then save that selection as a new channel (which will become our “LL“ channel, and so on…
To get an even lighter channel, you can subtract D one more time from the selection so far as well.
Here are what the three channels look like, starting with L up to LLL:
Mid Tones Channels
By this point, we’ve got 6 new channels now, three each for light and dark tones:
Now we can generate our mid-tone channels from these.
The concept of generating the mid-tones is relatively simple - we’re just going to intersect dark and light channels to produce whats left - midtones.
Intersecting Channels for Midtones
To get started, first select the “L“ channel, and set it to the current selection (just like above). Right-Click → Channel to Selection.
Then, Right-Click on the “D“ channel, and choose “Intersect with Selection”.
You likely won’t see any selection active on your image, but it’s there, I promise. Now as before, just save the selection to a channel:
Select → Save to Channel
Give it a neat name. Sayyy, “M“? :)
You can repeat for each of the other levels, creating an MM and MMM if you’d like.
Now remember, the mid-tones channels are intended to isolate mid values as a mask, so they can look a little strange at first glance. Here’s what the basic mid-tones mask looks like:
Remember, black tones in this mask represent full transparency to the layer below, while white represents full opacity, from the associated layer.
Using the Masks
The basic idea behind creating these channels is that you can now mask particular tonal ranges in your images, and the mask will be self-feathering (due to how we created them). So we can now isolate specific tones in the image for manipulation.
Previously, I had shown how this could be used to do some simple split-toning of an image. In that case I worked on a B&W image, and tinted it. Here I’ll do the same with our image we’ve been working on so far…
Using the image I’ve been working through so far, we have the base layer to start with:
We are going to want two duplicates of this base layer. One to tone the lighter values, and another to tone the darker ones. We’ll start by considering the dark tones first. Duplicate the base layer:
Layer → Duplicate Layer
Then rename the copy something descriptive. In my example, I’ll call this layer “Dark” (original, I know):
Add a Mask
Now we can add a layer mask to this layer. You can either Right-Click the layer, and choose “Add Layer Mask”, or you can go through the menus:
Layer → Mask → Add Layer Mask
You’ll then be presented with options about how to initialize the mask. You’ll want to Initialize Layer Mask to: “Channel”, then choose one of your luminosity masks from the drop-down. In my case, I’ll use the DD mask we previously made:
Adjust the Layer
Now you’ll have a Dark layer with a DD mask that will restrict any modification you do to this layer to only apply to the darker tones.
Make sure you select the layer, and not it’s mask, by clicking on it (you’ll see a white outline around the active layer). Otherwise any operations you do may accidentally get applied to the mask, and not the layer.
At this point, we now want to modify the colors of this layer in some way. There are literally endless ways to approach this, bounded only by your creativity and imagination. For this example, we are going to tone the image with a cool teal/blue color (just like before), which combined with the DD layer mask, will restrict it to modifying only the darker tones.
So I’ll use the Colorize option to tone the entire layer a new color:
Colors → Colorize
To get a Teal-ish color, I’ll pull the Hue slider over to about 200:
Now, pay attention to what’s happening on your image canvas at this point. Drag the Hue slider around and see how it changes the colors in your image. Especially note that the color shifts will be restricted to the darker tones thanks to the DD mask being used!
To illustrate, mouseover the different hue values in the caption of the image below to change the Hue, and see how it effects the image with the DD mask active:
So after I choose a new Hue of 200 for my layer, I should be seeing this:
Repeat for Light Tones
Now just repeat the above steps, but this time for the light tones. So duplicate the base layer again, and add a layer mask, but this time try using the LL channel as a mask.
For the lighter tones, I chose a Hue of around 25 instead (more orange-ish than blue):
In the end, here are the results that I achieved:
The real power here comes from experimentation. I encourage you to try using a different mask to restrict the changes to different areas (try the LLL for instance). You can also adjust the opacity of the layers now to modify how strongly the color tones will effect those areas as well. Play!
The mid-tone masks were very interesting to me. In Tony’s original article, he mentioned how much he loved using them to provide a nice boost to contrast and saturation in the image. Well, he’s right. It certainly does do that! (He also feels that it’s similar to shooting the image on Velvia).
Let’s have a look.
I’ve deleted the layers from my split-toning exercise above, and am back to just the base image layer again.
To try out the mid-tones mask, we only need to duplicate the base layer, and apply a layer mask to it.
This time I’ll choose the basic mid-tones mask M.
What’s interesting about using this mask is that you can use pretty aggressive curve modifications to it, and still keep the image from blowing up. We are only targeting the mid-tones.
To illustrate, I’m going to apply a fairly aggressive compression to the curves by using Adjust Color Curves:
Colors → Curves
When I say aggressive, here is what I’m referring to:
Here is the effect it has on the image when using the M mid-tones mask:
As you can see, there is an increase in contrast across the image, as well a nice little boost to saturation. You don’t need to worry about blowing out highlights or losing shadow detail, because the mask will not allow you to modify those values.
More Samples of the Mid-Tone Mask in Use
This is something that I’ve found myself doing quite often. It’s a very powerful method for combining color toning that you may like from different film emulations. Consider what we just walked through.
These masks allow you to target modifications of layers to specific tones of an image. So if you like the saturation of, say, Fuji Velvia in the shadows, but like the upper tones to look similar to Polaroid Polachrome, then these luminosity masks are just what you’re looking for!
Just a little food for experimentation thought… :)
Stay tuned later in the week where I’ll investigate this idea in a little more depth.
This is just another tool in our mental toolbox of image manipulation, but it’s a very powerful tool indeed. When considering your images, you can now look at them as a function of luminosity - with a neat and powerful way to isolate and target specific tones for modification.
As always, I encourage you to experiment and play. I’m willing to bet this method finds it’s way into at least a few peoples workflows in some fashion. | <urn:uuid:83d6f8b2-e37c-4710-813d-898ec5443ce8> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://patdavid.net/2013/11/getting-around-in-gimp-luminosity-masks.html | 2017-03-28T08:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189686.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00438-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.908684 | 3,106 |

Good luck franchising out now that the media has exposed you as the fools that you obviously are. Reply Randy L. September 26th, 2007 Great video!!! This guy wants to make sure theres no confusion between his Steak Bombs and everyone else’s?? What a foolish statement. There’s a thousand subshops that sell Steak Bombs that are very much similar. Hopefully people no longer eat his steak bombs, that would be a great distinction. Reply Don Chase October 3rd, 2007 After returning from vacation last week, I was reading through back issues of the Concord Monitor that I had missed while I was gone. I was amused to read the Aug. 30 article about USA Subs in Derry getting a trademark on the name Steak Bomb. What is next for him? Why not trademark “sub” as well? That name originated in Pennsylvania in the early 1900s with a woman named Mrs. Agostino DiCostanza. When I was stationed at Fort Jackson, S.C., in 1967, guess what all the pizza shops were selling to us hungry GIs? That’s right: Steak Bombs. When I was in high school prior to going into the service in 1967, there was a little café on Bow Street in Franklin called the Blue Moon, and guess what one of their sandwiches was called? Yep, the Steak Bomb. How can USA Subs, which was formed in 1986, make claim to a sandwich that was in existence at least 20 years prior to that? An even bigger question is: What was the government official who issued that trademark having for lunch that day?

Hit and run accidents frequently occur while a vehicle is parked on the street, in a parking structure or at the local shopping mall. Often the guilty party does not leave contact information which leaves the vehicle owner with the problem of getting the damage repaired. To add to the burden, many people are unclear on what to do in this situation and are unsure about the details of their auto insurance coverage.
Locating Witnesses & Documenting the Accident
It may be that there are witnesses who are able to provide some details concerning the make and model of the vehicle who damaged your vehicle, and possibly the license plate number. These witnesses may be asked to give a statement on what they observed, so it is important to get their contact details even when they can provide no specific information. At least they will be able to verify that your vehicle was hit by another driver that then left the scene.
Take photos of the damage and the surrounding area showing clearly where you were parked and including identifying signs where possible. Also make a note of the time you noticed that your vehicle had sustained damage.
For vehicles parked on the street, knocking on doors or speaking to people in the adjoining businesses may provide useful information on the make, model or even the license number of the vehicle.
Security or closed circuit TV cameras in the area may be directed at the area where the hit and run occurred and if so, copies of the footage can be obtained. This is also a good strategy for vehicles hit in a parking structure or in the parking lot of a shopping mall as there. A police report should be made as soon as possible with or without any witness information.
Your Auto Insurance Coverage for Hit and Run Accidents
Coming out of a movie or a grocery store only to find your vehicle has been damaged is upsetting, particularly when there is no way of identifying the offending driver. This is why Blair & Blair Insurance Unlimited takes great care to recommend the correct type and amount of auto insurance coverage necessary to protect against this type of accident. Depending on the circumstances, underinsured motorist coverage or your collision coverage may be accessed to cover your losses.
Protect your Investment – Arrange a Policy Review
Having the right types and levels of coverage for your car insurance provides peace of mind that any damage to your vehicle will be covered, so you can get back on the road again. It is recommended that a policy review be done each year at renewal so that any needed increases or decreases of coverage can be put in place.

Although I'm not much of a reader of science fiction, when I do read it, I generally enjoy it a great deal so here's my poem drawing inspiration from two science fiction writers.
dark they were,
and golden eyed2
of moonbeam babies
never meant to be here
staying only long enough
become liquid in
non-existent Martian seas
limbs longer then they should be
and we are afraid
their strange voices
1 Taken from Excession by Iain M Banks, Jaundiced Outlook is the name of a spacecraft.
2 Taken from the title of Ray Bradbury’s science-fiction short story, “Dark they were, and golden eyed”.

Seriously! He has Peyton in his starting line up, which means he hasn't even looked at it since BEFORE week 1. Why even bother signing up if you're not going to put in at least a little effort for a week or two?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at an event organized by the Federal Communications Bar Association.
It’s actually a CLE, at an amazing venue–the fabulously fabulous Newseum–and an amazing line-up. Since it’s not really posted online, I figured I’d post about it.
(As for why I’ve been posting less recently… I’ve been super busy law-professoring: teaching and researching/writing a legal article. Conference-speaking is a nice change. I also recently helped Lincoln, Nebraska’s government apply for the Google Fiber Sweepstakes! But I did pose a competition question to the FCC Chairman via the Washington Post, which ended up on a far more awesome blog than my own.)
So I’ve been living la vida law-professor.
The best part of such vida, beyond getting to use terms like res ipsa loquitor and ipso facto in my daily life, is getting to discuss important issues like the First Amendment’s future with thoughtful people, like those speaking tomorrow. Here’s an agenda. I speak on the last panel, and will probably speak last to disagree vigorously with all the nice people on my panel. I was told I was the only “pro-regulatory” person on the panel–but I consider myself, you know, “pro-citizen,” “pro-speech,” and “pro-other-good-things-like-chocolate.”
I’m sure the lineup has been updated since the one posted in the FCBA newsletter…

In 1964, legendary director Stanley Kubrick met with legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke to embark on one of the most ambitious films ever made — “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
In a 141-minute cinematic spectacle that would take four years to produce, the two artists uniquely blended aspects of science and art to create a groundbreaking futuristic mythology that is still studied in film schools and debated by global audiences today.
Half a century later, contemporary writer, filmmaker and artist Michael Benson, has authored a new and critically acclaimed account of the film — "Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece".
Benson’s own career work — which currently includes creating landscape photographs of planets and moons of the solar system using raw image data from planetary science archives — was recently awarded the Inaugural Jay Kappraff Award for Excellence in Science and Arts at NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards Ceremony.
As part of his keynote speech at the awards, Benson talked about the strong relationship he sees between the visual arts and science. We caught up with Benson afterward to discuss that timely topic at the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Kubrick’s and Clarke’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
What did you enjoy most about your visit to NJIT for the 2018 College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards Ceremony?
It was excellent to meet Jay Kappraff and discuss some of his interests and work, as well as receive an award bearing the name of such a distinguished figure. My talk at the awards ceremony itself, in effect, forced me to condense and systematize some of what I’ve been about for the last 10-15 years, and to make linkages between the sciences and the arts that I might otherwise have overlooked, or simply not discussed. I hope that was transmitted to the audience and other award winners there that day.
Your latest book tackles the making of Stanley Kubrick’s film “2001”, where the director combined groundbreaking special effects with research of paleo-history, space travel and artificial intelligence. What can we take away today from Kubrick’s ability to synthesize various spheres of science and art?
I think it’s important to point out that Kubrick, like most filmmakers, worked collaboratively and that the great futurist, non-fiction essayist and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke was in crucial ways the co-author of "2001: A Space Odyssey".
Probably more than with Kubrick’s other films, this was essentially a co-equal collaboration, at least until the shooting started — after which the director was of course in his normal iron-clad control. Even then, he worked closely with Clarke, and the film was grounded solidly on Clarke’s ideas. And as my book reveals, Kubrick, who had the aphorism “Never let your ego get in the way of a good idea,” knew how to listen to his subordinates and also get the best work out of them.
With “2001”, you have a technical science-based art form being used to realize, in film, a form of literature that also incorporates science. I don’t think Kubrick and Clarke were unique in their ability to fuse these fields, but certainly they did it with an integrity and stubborn determination that produced a spectacularly provocative work of art that stands the test of time and surely will still be studied for centuries to come as one of the greatest works of art the 20th century produced.
Your own work distinctly blends science and art. What has inspired your work initially, and are there any current artists inspiring you now?
Science and art didn’t use to be as distinct as they are now. If you asked Leonardo to discuss his work in science versus his work as an artist, he wouldn’t have seen a difference; one fed into the other and they were all part of a whole. And in fact, even the term “scientist” is quite recent; professional researchers driven by curiosity about the workings of the natural world used to be called “natural philosophers.”
My work has its origins in a perception as far back as the Voyager flybys of Jupiter in 1979 — that the visual legacy of the interplanetary missions deserves its place in the history of photography and visual representation, as much as it does in the history of science.
With the arrival of the internet in the late 1990s, I was able to monitor incoming raw images from various NASA spacecraft in close to real time. I started to learn how to assemble them to make wider composite mosaic views, as well as stack black and white frames taken through various filters — ideally, red, green and blue — to produce true color composites. I then went about producing a curated body of work meant to represent the best and most compelling images from that entire genre of robotic spaceflight photography. This is currently on view in Barcelona in my touring exhibition "Otherworlds", which will travel to Cornwall, England this summer and then to Luxembourg in the winter.
Currently, there are many different artists who I find inspiring. If I were to name one at the moment, it could be the great architectural photographer Robert Polidori, who’s a friend and who has a spectacular body of work covering a broad diversity of subjects and topics.
What advice might you have for aspiring artists or students with a scientific background seeking to express themselves through new advances in science and technology?
Work in a field or subject you already find fascinating, and find a way to express yourself about that field or subject.
What I’ve done in my work is find a way to engage with a subject that I find fascinating, and I do that by choosing the medium that best suits that subject. For example, the way I make the case that the visual legacy of space exploration deserves consideration as art as much as science is to go into the archives myself and produce photographic prints, as well as illustrated books. But when it came to looking under the hood of "2001: A Space Odyssey", a non-fiction narrative technique was more appropriate.
Ernest Hemingway, when asked to give advice to young writers, answered that they should “write what they know.” That isn’t bad advice at all, though there’s also such a thing as writing — or creating visual works — about something you simultaneously are learning about, and don’t already know about beyond your native curiosity. So I would modify that to, “produce work about what fascinates you.” | <urn:uuid:37a5d456-cd77-4cd6-9ee2-dfc488e46e05> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://news.njit.edu/author-and-artist-michael-benson-kubricks-2001-space-odyssey-and-working-science-and-art | 2019-05-24T23:37:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257781.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524224619-20190525010619-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.9707 | 1,371 |
Quote of the Day: Frances Moore Lappé
"No society has fulfilled its democratic promise if people go hungry... If some go without food they have surely been deprived of all power. The existence of hunger belies the existence of democracy."
—Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet and cofounder of three national organizations that explore the roots of hunger, poverty, and environmental crises.

A Dark and Scary Place
1950's Monster B-Movies are very much a product of their time. In a sense it is lucky they are as, without that general feeling of paranoia throughout the populace (particularly in America where the vast majority of these were made), we wouldn't be able to look back and marvel at the immense enjoyment these low budget films induced.
The then fear of imminent annihilation at the hands of the H-bomb and atomic war seeped into the poors of the smaller studios... and even some of the larger ones. Expected reality was to be instigated by the realms of science fiction. In other words, anything that could be imagined was given its roots in atomic testing or other science pushed beyond the wall of morality.
The Cold War was also a factor; this meant 'Reds Under the Beds' mentality became a fear of all outsiders. This worked to the industry's favour. After all, these were supposed to be scary movies. Accordingly, nearly all aliens were bent on invasion or destruction. Even those appearing to be benign had either ulterior motives or threatened reprisals if we didn't change our ways. Any mad science came back to bite us on the bum - including a succession of giant animals or people. For example, Godzilla rose from the depths severely miffed by noisy atomic testing.
Many of these films share a similar format in that the heroes are normally military men or young experts in their field, there is often a professor present, and the romantic interest for the hero is most commonly the professor's beautiful daughter.
Concepts became increasinly bizarre and querky. It seemed very little escaped being opened to manic exploration. That suited some people fine; some actors secured regular (if not well-paid) work, and many producers managed to sell their finished project to a major studio for a reasonable profit... before going off to film something even more crazy.
What makes these films work so well is that they are played straight, and so all the more funny in the case of the bad examples. This period rolled out films so bad they are good, films so bad they are awful, but also a handful of timeless classics.
The scores I have given for these movies are relative to each other, rather than to the reviews in other categories. I have to say I'm enjoying immensely the re-watching of these films. It requires only three words to sum up Sci-Fi Monster Movies from this period: Fun. Fun. Fun. | <urn:uuid:e16ede90-a160-4b15-a4e3-1522f553f83b> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://adarkandscaryplace.com/monster-mash | 2018-05-21T22:08:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864558.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521220041-20180522000041-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.973289 | 510 |
The law of sacrifice states that something of lesser value must leave in order for something of greater value to take its place.
What is difficult is reassigning the value of a situation, circumstance or person in your life.
I have parted ways with many former friends in the past. Not because they were bad people but they were not working towards the same things I wanted.
When I was trying to save money to purchase a house, they were looking for the next party or the next girl to sleep with.
That was not a part of my lifestyle. So I had to let them go. Well I wanted to but they knew all about me: the schools I went to, my mom, my sister, my favorite food from childhood, and listened to the same music as me.
I couldn’t just cut them off, right? There is just too much history. They accept me for me.
So instead I focused more on the things I wanted out of life. Eventually my “friends” stopped calling me.
I couldn’t hang out everyday because I worked long hours, I couldn’t hangout on the weekends because I was saving.
A party wasn’t worth delaying my future.

The new eighteen hole course at the Boavista Resort , Lagos, in Portugal’s Algarve is advancing well. The 6,065 metre par 72 course, which also includes a range and a large golf academy, is designed by Howard Swan. Ten holes are completed and the remaining eight are nearing seeding and planting.
The golf course architect has concentrated on converting a spectacular cliff top location with outstanding vistas. All the natural stone from the site has been re-used in waterfalls and lakes and to restore many of the ancient walls on the land. Where it has been necessary to remove trees they have been transplanted into new locations elsewhere on the course.
Greens, tees and fairways are being irrigated with treated sewage effluent and all rain and irrigation water is being reclaimed through a recycling system.
The new course at Boavista is scheduled to open early in 2002 and is intended to become one of the Algarve’s best and most spectacular destinations.

Unfortunately, the bureaucracy didn’t stop for me once I had entered the US with my K1 Fiance Visa and got married. The K1 Fiance Visa can only be used once, so having entered the USA and got married, its use was essentially over, although I did, of course, keep all my documents in case they were needed for proof further down the line (the I-94 inside my passport, for instance, was essential later for proving that I had entered the country legally, as was the I-797 approval notice that was received by my wife at the end of the I-129 petition process). Anyway, I was now ready for the next stage after getting married in the US (Florida), making my I-485 Green Card application for permanent residency, known as an adjustment of status or AOS. If that was successful, then I would receive a USCIS Green Card and be classified as a resident alien by the USCIS. Along with the I-485 Green Card application, I also applied for Advance Parole (AP) and Employment Authorization (EAD), as there was no fee to pay if I filed them at the same time as my application for adjustment of status (AOS).
The I-485 Green Card application is a thick form with lots of questions, but I had got used to filling out those when undergoing the K1 Fiance Visa Process. What was a pain about applying for Adjustment of Status, in my wife and I’s experience, was putting together all the masses of evidence that was needed to go with the accompanying I-684 Affidavit of Support. As well as providing proof that we were are married, my wife also had to present proof that she was financially solvent and able to support me. This basically involves collecting together piles of tax returns that have to be sorted through and copied, as well as letters from my wife’s boss and months and months of bank statements, amongst other things. I also had to include the I-693 vaccination supplement, a copy of my I-94, the I-684 Affidavit of Support, along with copies of all the bank, employment, and tax documents. We also included evidence of our relationship, including: copy of marriage license, wedding cards and photos, letter from bank showing we had a joint bank account and a few other things, such as the I-797.
As I mentioned, as well as the green card application, I also put in applications for temporary travel documents and temporary employment permission, known as I-131 Advance Parole (AP) and the I-765 Employment Authorization (EAD), so that I have the option of traveling and working while we wait for the adjustment of status application to be processed, although in practice the AP and EAD can also take months to be processed. I thought it was worth putting them in, however, as there were no extra costs, given that they were filed with my I-485 and I-684.
The whole package of five application forms and status adjustment evidence was so big and heavy it cost us $14 for the postage! (That was on top of the $980 we had to pay for the processing of the application!) There is also a small fee at this point that you have to pay towards the biometrics that you will have to get later. We actually forgot to include this the first time round and were sent a letter saying that they wouldn’t start processing our forms until they had received it. They also send letters acknowledging receipt of the various forms.
The next stage after this is the biometrics appointment. They send a letter inviting you when they are ready. It took over four months for me just to get the I-131 Advance Parole (AP) and the I-765 Employment Authorization (EAD), never mind the Adjustment of Status, so try to keep patient! | <urn:uuid:907f769d-f2e6-4331-97ba-a9929134282d> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://myk1fiancevisaexperience.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-485-green-card-i-684-affidavit.html | 2015-08-30T13:52:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065318.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00118-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990404 | 793 |

Just to be clear: do you mean that you always have to dismount on
footpaths, even without the sign, or do you mean that you don't need to
dismount, despite the presence of the sign?

The typical neighborhood barber shop usually involves a quick forty-peso haircut and brush off inside a fan room. Not at Urban Barber.
Urban Barber gives the term “barber shop” a bespoke touch with their variety of grooming services aimed at giving the 21st-century man a unique “MANpering” experience inside an artsy, industrial-themed man-cave featuring graffiti art by artists HILO + GORI.
The owners of this modern barbershop themselves, Darrel So and Chad Africa, exude that bespoke attitude.
“One of the things we were both passionate about was grooming, making sure that you always present your best self,” said co-owner Africa.
Services range from a simple cut-and-style to cleansing and detox packages that come with a cup of coffee or bottle of beer.
The most basic service is A Cut-Above (precise haircut and styling) while the Metro Lumberjack (a haircut and beard-sculpting package) is best for the bearded and moustached. Those who want a clean-cut look can opt for the Urban Royal package (complete haircut and shave) while The Morning After (haircut and facial cleansing detox) is perfect after a night of partying.
Aside from their grooming services, Urban Barber is also a lifestyle hub that carries Filipino-made products from shirts, caps, accessories, and even vinyl players, handpicked “to represent the best of Filipino craftsmanship.”
So if you are ready to take on an edgier, more modern hairstyle or want a totally different look from head to foot, just come by Urban Barber and treat yourself to some man-time. | <urn:uuid:e9b3c74a-fc1c-4107-88c5-bc99a3bb7ed6> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://goingplaces.ph/2017/03/02/for-the-boys-get-a-complete-manpering-at-urban-barber/ | 2017-08-17T07:43:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886102993.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817073135-20170817093135-00469.warc.gz | en | 0.945462 | 355 |

In terms of price, as of July 1, the ex-factory price of spot resources from the main producing areas of electrolytic manganese in China has dropped by more than 600 yuan / ton since the beginning of June, and the average price is concentrated at 9900 million yuan / ton. Among them, the basic negotiations on retail spot resources in the manganese triangle region have fallen below the 10,000 yuan mark, and some parts of Guangxi have not had more spot quotations at the end of the month, and the overall delivery period order status is mainly maintained. In July, the month-on-month decline in the bidding price of metal manganese in some domestic steel mills is about 6003,850 yuan / ton, so it is difficult to be optimistic about the average spot price of electrolytic manganese in early July. From July to August, the overall overseas steel mills entered the summer break, according to some traders said that the atmosphere of overseas orders in July was light, and the basic futures price range was around 1430 U.S. dollars / ton, and the overall weak operation continued in the later period.
Looking back at the strong upward atmosphere of electrolytic manganese from April to May 2020, the shortage of domestic manganese triangle ore resources, the increase in operating rate and output in major areas, and the slight increase in the prices of raw materials such as 98% sulfuric acid and manganese carbonate ore due to the increase in demand. on the other hand, it is also due to the short-term suspension of production due to the environmental impact of large factories in Guizhou in early May, which coincides with the release of steel demand at home and abroad, and manganese prices are strong. Many operators said that in the off-season process of consumption in the downstream market, the sharp decline in supply brought about by the reduction and shutdown of factories may not be obvious in the short term to rebound manganese prices in the later period.
In terms of output and start-up, the output of electrolytic manganese in various regions of China in June 2020 decreased slightly compared with that in May, among which some manganese triangles and Guangxi region chose to stop production due to the serious upside-down of costs in mid-late June, and some manufacturers did not reach full production, so the overall operating rate also had a downward trend.
According to SMM research, the spot market price of electrolytic manganese has dropped to about 9900 yuan / ton by the end of June, and there are a large number of factories that have stopped production in the manganese triangle in July. According to SMM statistics, in July, the total output of electrolytic manganese in China may drop to about 100000 tons, but the specific total output is still dominated by the actual production of manufacturers in various regions.
Note: for more information about the start-up and Nissan production of manufacturers in various regions, please contact 021mur51666908
In terms of steel moves, as of July 1, the performance of metal steel moves at home and abroad in July is more pessimistic, although the purchase quantity of some pricing steel mills has increased month-on-month, but the price reduction range is basically 600 RMB800 / ton. South Korea Posco July Electrolytic Manganese bidding CIF Korea main port pricing at 1385 US dollars / ton, a month-on-month drop of 120 US dollars / ton, but the July purchase volume increased by 1745 tons from the previous month to 4196 tons, and delivered in late July. According to the current US dollar exchange rate, the factory price is about 9500 Mel 9600 yuan / ton. Baowu Group's July electrolytic manganese purchase, including tax acceptance, was priced at 10500 yuan / ton, a month-on-month decrease of 800yuan / ton, which made many operators continue to be weak about the manganese price in July. In addition, Xiangtan Iron and Steel, Angang, Nanjing Iron and Steel have not yet priced, later SMM will continue to pay attention to and update the market steel recruitment information.
As for the downstream 200series, by the end of June, the total stock of 200series cold and hot rolling in South China was about 17200 tons, which was about 5200 tons less than that at the beginning of June. At present, the market price of 200series cold rolling has remained stable as a whole, and the actual transaction price in Wuxi is 7300Mel 7400 yuan / ton, which is mediocre. Foshan area is basically stable under the guidance price of steel mills at the beginning of the month, but at the end of the month, most new goods arrive one after another, secretly promoting transactions. In addition, downstream demand is off-season, the operating rate is not high, and the export market is not growing significantly. SMM expects that the 200 series stainless steel in Sifo and Sifo will adjust and operate steadily in the near future.
Generally speaking, the start-up and production of electrolytic manganese in July is not ideal, and the room for improvement of manganese price in the later period is limited when the demand surface narrows. SMM expects that the market price of electrolytic manganese will continue to be weak in a short period of time in the third quarter, and the output and export will be reduced.

Designing a tool for astronauts.
Began and led a project to replace the 1990s era tools aboard the International Space Station with modern iPad and iPhone apps. Worked closely with astronauts to understand their needs and design all aspects of the product.
Deployed it in a series of space-on-earth missions, both out in the desert and underwater. The astronauts loved it, calling it a “mission enhancing tool -- essential.”Work has been presented at SXSW and IXDA SF. Will hopefully be running live on the Space Station in the near future. | <urn:uuid:cfe1ac6b-a5bd-4aa3-b619-8f5e50f85b46> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | http://www.samhashemi.com/work/ | 2021-07-30T21:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20210730185206-20210730215206-00670.warc.gz | en | 0.943368 | 117 |
'At the height of the Booming, sign was so plentiful that it fell from the sky like rain. It rustled underfoot in autumn and rose and fluttered about the palaces and hospitals like apple blossom in spring. This was called advertising'.
Erik Kessels responded to two memory fragments that recall advertisting and recycling, creating a giant palace made from recycled advertising leaflets. The multiple layers of the structure, made up of thousands of partially legible messages act as both a comment on the overarching story and our present reality where we are overwhelmed by colours, shapes, and images in a constant onslaught of designed materials.
Kessels is co-founder and creative director of the communications agency KesselsKramer and a graphic designer, curator and photography collector. His witty and irreverent work is often described as 'anti-advertising'. Kessels has made and curated exhibitions such as Loving Your Pictures in 2006, The European Championship of Graphic Design in 2008, and Graphic Detour in 2011, 24HRS in Photos 2012, and Album Beauty 2012.

Q&A: Hurricanes affect dead zone in Gulf of MexicoBy Times staff
December 30, 2008; St. Petersburg Times
Hurricanes affect dead zone
Did this year’s hurricane season affect the oxygen-depleted "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico?
"Most certainly," says Steve DiMarco, a Texas A&M University oceanography professor who for 16 years has studied the Gulf of Mexico, which has a "dead zone" where oxygen-depleted water can kill marine life.
In early July, most of the Texas-Louisiana shelf from Freeport, Texas, to the Mississippi River Delta was hypoxic — meaning the saltwater has lost large amounts of oxygen. Later in July, Hurricane Dolly disrupted the dead zone and re-oxygenated the shallow waters south of Louisiana and the entire shelf off Texas. Oxygen levels started to drop again within days after the storm.
In early August, Hurricane Eduard re-oxygenated the entire Louisiana shelf, but by mid-August the oxygen concentrations dropped to hypoxic levels.
Again, winds from Hurricane Gustav re-oxygenated the dead zone Sept. 1, and oxygen levels began receding after that storm.
And guess what? Hurricane Ike re-oxygenated the shelf when it made landfall Sept. 12 in Texas.
The latest data showed oxygen concentrations nearly all at normal levels, DiMarco said.
"The system should stay oxygenated until next spring, when winter runoff increases, and summer heating makes conditions more favorable for hypoxia (and dead zone formation) to exist," he said. | <urn:uuid:74062dda-2969-4329-9aaf-c261a590afdf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gulfhypoxia.net/qa-hurricanes-affect-dead-zone-in-gulf-of-mexico/ | 2023-10-04T05:36:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511361.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004052258-20231004082258-00127.warc.gz | en | 0.942625 | 352 |

About Pregnancy Physiotherapy
During pregnancy your body goes through many changes which can disrupt your daily life. While a certain amount of discomfort is to be expected, sometimes the pain can become severe. When this happens physiotherapy can help.
Mothers-to-be frequently suffer from back pain and joint pain. Pelvic pain is also fairly common and is generally caused by what is medically known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). This is when your front or back pelvic joints become misaligned which happens in around one in five pregnant women.
Physiotherapy can help alleviate all these symptoms through a range of exercises designed to improve mobility and strengthen the supporting muscles.
In the case of SPD, physiotherapy can be used to ensure that the joints in your hip, pelvis and spine can move normally. Our physiotherapist can also provide exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of you back, hip, stomach and pelvic floor as well as advising you on measures you can take to minimise discomfort.
As well as addressing your current needs, our physiotherapists can help you prepare for the stress of labour and help you to get back in shape after your baby is born. | <urn:uuid:18daac82-db59-4aa9-914c-4d657b12051b> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://pbpregnancyservices.co.uk/services/pregnancy-physiotherapy-hatfield-hertfordshire/ | 2018-11-20T20:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746639.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120191321-20181120213321-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.966561 | 242 |
Now, here’s Dave’s blog:

The question of whether an attorney uses a conduit or accumulation trust in regards to an inherited IRA is a question of simplicity versus protection. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court in Clark v. Remeker, ruled an inherited IRA is not “protected” from the reach of creditors.
As practitioners, we can still protect an inherited IRA by ensuring the beneficiary is a trust, not an individual. They key question when utilizing a trust is whether to make it a conduit trust or an accumulation trust. What factors should you consider? If the practitioner wants simple for both himself and the client, a conduit trust is the answer. Conduit trusts provide that any and all distributions that come into the trust on an annual basis must be distributed out in the same year to the rightful beneficiary.
Therefore, the trust is merely a “conduit” to hold the IRA for the benefit of the beneficiary. While this provides asset protection of the underlying principal of the IRA, it does not provide any protection of the required distributions from the trust to the beneficiary.
Alternatively, practitioners can elect to provide for an accumulation trust. In an accumulation trust, the RMD (or other IRA distributions) is distributed from the IRA to the trust, but, the trustee has the option to “hold” the distribution and accumulate it with the principal of the trust. The major downside to an accumulation trust is if the RMD is held and accumulated, the trust must pay the tax on the income from the IRA and trusts are traditionally taxed at a much higher rate than individuals.
Why would one do this?
If the beneficiary is in the middle of a lawsuit or becomes subject to alimony or other liabilities, any income distributed to the beneficiary would be lost. So the question becomes what is the bigger loss, a potential twenty-five to forty percent income tax, or a 100 percent loss creditors or other legal obligation. An accumulation trust can also serve to protect a beneficiary from themselves. In addition to protecting the income and assets “for” the beneficiary. A properly drawn accumulation trust also protects the IRA and distributions “from” the beneficiary. Many of us are aware of individuals with children who inherit IRAs and their first item to purchase is a fancy new sports car that costs $50,000.00. To do this, requires the beneficiary has to withdraw $71,500.00 assuming a 30% tax rate which leaves $50,000.00 to purchase the car that’s worth $40,000.00 when they drive it off the lot. Great way to turn $71,500.00 into $40,000.00 in a single act! In cases of spendthrift or other concerns, an accumulation trust provides the greatest option.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of an accumulation trust is you can have the best of both worlds, that is if you choose to distribute all RMD out in the year received to have it operate like a conduit trust. A conduit trust, however cannot hold money to be protected or distributed later like an accumulation trust. Accumulation trust also is a better choice if the beneficiary is in the maximum tax bracket, so any accumulation would not create any additional tax loss. When properly drawn both conduit and accumulation trusts can provide for all of the RMD be calculated on the age of one beneficiary, but the distributions of the RMD can be distributed out to other beneficiaries who are in a lower tax bracket (i.e. the children of the beneficiary).
So determining whether to use a conduit or accumulation trust is deciding whether simple is the goal or ultimate protection is the goal. It is critical that you properly educate your client so they can advise you of what’s most important.

What is a Lutheran?
We are a Christian denomination, and our roots go back to the early 1500’s when a young monk in Germany named Martin Luther was so tormented by his guilty conscience that he felt God was angry with him because of his sins. No matter how Luther tried or how many good works he performed, he found no peace with God. Then he read in Romans 3:28, “For we hold that one is justified [declared righteous by God] by faith apart from works of the law.” This is what brought him peace, joy, and hope.
Luther’s intentions were to bring certain reforms to the Roman Catholic Church that he loved and to uplift the pure Gospel of salvation by faith in Christ Jesus alone. As Luther questioned those church practices that he felt contradicted the earliest tradition of the New Testament church as well as Scripture, he was excommunicated for the basics of our confession: Christ Alone (solus Christus), Scripture Alone (sola scriptura), Faith Alone (sola fide), and Grace Alone (sola gratia). Those who agreed with this confession were called "Lutherans." | <urn:uuid:1573a3ba-57e1-4ab0-a121-624680f8189e> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.gloriadeibluebell.org/whatisalutheran/ | 2018-07-20T18:24:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591719.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720174340-20180720194340-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.98202 | 238 |
The Communism Experiment – What if Lenin hadn’t died ?
The great communist experiment that started in 1917 after the Bolshevist revolution in Russia ultimately failed with the fall of the Soviet Union in the nineties, trumped by the capitalist west. But was it ever given a fair go? Many would argue that is was hijacked by the ruthless oportunist Stalin after the death of Lenin. One can only speculate that had he lived whether communism could have been survived. In this article we look at the events that surrounded his death in 1924.
The Great Lenin is Felled
Sunday the 21st January 1924 Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was finally felled by a massive stroke. Already partially paralysed, bedridden and unable to speak, that morning at his villa in the village of Gorky, Communist Russia’s ruthless and implacable leader Vladimir Ilich Lenin suffered his fourth stroke in twenty months. At 5.50 that evening he died at the age of 53.
No horny-handed son of toil, Lenin was born to an inspector of schools and was an inspired intellectual who spoke four languages. But he focused his brilliance on what he saw as the intolerable inequities of tsarist Russia. More than any other man, he established what he called
‘the great experiment, the dictatorship of the proletariat’.
An Earlier Assasination Attempt
Ironically, Lenin’s early death may have been brought on by the attack not of a tsarist counter-revolutionary but of a fellow radical. In November 1917 the Congress of Soviets had elected Lenin chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, in effect the most powerful man in Russia. Only months later he had peremptorily ordered the dissolution of the democratically elected Constituent Assembly in order to guarantee Bolshevik supremacy. The following August a disgruntled Socialist Revolutionary named Fanya Kaplan fired three shots at him as he headed for his car after a meeting, hitting him in the lung and at the base of his neck.
Fearing another assassination attempt, Lenin insisted on being taken to his own apartment rather than the hospital. There his doctors decided that it was too dangerous to remove the bullets, as one was lodged too close to his spine. In the meantime Kaplan was arrested, interrogated and, four days later, shot.
Lenin seemed to recover from his wounds, but from that time his health, already under the intolerable strains of revolution and war, started to deteriorate. Four years later he became so ill that in April 1922 the bullet from his neck finally had to be removed. Only a month later he suffered his first stroke, which left him paralysed on his right side.
Three days after his death Petrograd was renamed Leningrad, and at his funeral, Lenin’s corpse was swathed in a red flag saved from the Paris Commune of 1871. Four days after that, his mummified body went on display in the Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow’s Red Square, but before his embalmment, his brain was removed so that it could be studied to identify the precise location of the cells responsible for his revolutionary genius.
Rumours Around is Death
Despite the adulatory theatrics of a grieving Communist Party, only weeks after Lenin’s death rumours began to circulate that the real cause of his demise was not a stroke at all but syphilis. It was thought that he had contracted the disease as early as 1895, and in 1923 he had been treated with potassium iodide and a drug called Salvarsan, which were used at the time against syphilis. It was also said that the pathologist in charge of his autopsy had been ordered not to mention syphilis, and any syphilis-related indications were expunged from his report.

We hear of many reports on the deployment of iPads in classrooms and schools, but what about the deployment of Android tablets? This post is a review of what happened in a 5th grade classroom where all students were provided with an Android tablet. It highlights a “must-read report that details every aspect of how it went.”
The full report provides a “high-level step-by-step guid to deploying Android tablets” (most likely applicable to any tablet deployment).
Key takeways are provided such as (quoting from the post):
* The school district came up with new policies, processes, and instituted IT support for the project.
* The parents were involved in the project as well. (Additional info in post)
* The overall price came out to be $200 per student per year.
* There were multiple technical problems thoughout every week that required that tablets be rest to factory settings.
Much more may be found in the post, or you might want to check out the actual report, “Learning is Personal, Stories of Android Tablet Use in the 5th Grade” at http://www.learninguntethered.com.

This volume gives a unique approach to church history from the Catholic point of view. The story of each of the nineteen centuries is told in terms of the life, work and influence of one of the great figures of the Catholic world. Some of these nineteen saints are well known to all students of religious life, St. Peter, of course, St. Justin, St. Benedict, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Thomas of Agine, St. John of Ara, and St. Ignatius. Others not so well known were equally interesting and influential personalities: St. Columban, St. A, St, John Beptist de la Salle, for example. The book should be of value and interest not only to Catholic students for whom it is primarily written, but to others interested in knowing the Catholic interpretation of the history of the church. | <urn:uuid:501b3af8-3702-45ef-a1d9-a0b06fdcbf2b> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/joseph-a-dunney/church-history-in-the-light-of-the-saints/ | 2018-10-22T20:53:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583515539.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022201445-20181022222945-00466.warc.gz | en | 0.943509 | 175 |

FC Dallas star midfielder Brek Shea is in London training with Arsenal this offseason. The 21-year-old Texan started for the U.S. in the squad’s Nov. 11 friendly with France at Stade de France, and then earned his ninth U.S. cap on Nov. 15, coming on for Fabian Johnson in the 61st minute of the Americans’ 3-2 win over Slovenia. Following the two international fixtures, Shea headed to England where he is now training with Arsene Wenger’s Gunners. The 2011 MLS MVP finalist will regularly check in with FCDallas.com from across the Atlantic to share his experiences with the storied Premiership side.

I'm back in Texas now after my time training with Arsenal these last few weeks and it really was a great experience. I’m grateful that I was able to go over there and train. I can’t thank everyone at Arsenal enough for how well they treated me and how much they made me feel welcome. But now I’m looking forward to getting a few weeks of rest before training camp starts in January and I’m focused on the 2012 season.

What's up guys,
I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. I didn’t have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner here in London, but the guys tried their best to deliver one. Benik Afobe, Alex Chamberlain and another friend from Tottenham Hotspur took me to Nando’s and ordered me a whole chicken thinking it was Thanksgiving food. It came with chips too.

Despite missing turkey and American football, I’ve really been enjoying it here. The guys are all cool, and it’s been a great experience. The best part has been going to all the football matches and watching the guys play after I train with them. I went to the Champions League game and the match with Fulham last week. I also got to check out the Huddersfield game versus Charlton. I love that football is always on here. That’s about it from here. I went to Central London the other day and walked around a lot, but it's mostly been lots and lots of football for me.

Hey FC Dallas fans,
Brek here, writing from London where I'm training with Arsenal. The first day I got here they took me to lunch and I met several people, including Arsene Wenger. Everyone has been nice and they’re giving me time to recover from all the games and travel. Even though I just got here, I’ve been able to train with the first team a few times already. The reserves practice on a different field than the first team, so it’s smaller and very fast-paced. Each drill is very short and sharp, and then they move on to the next thing. There haven’t been any scrimmages, so I can’t say yet what position they might have me playing. I haven’t done any sight-seeing yet either. It’s been hotel, training and that’s it for me. I was over here once before when I was younger, training with Bolton. I don’t remember much about that trip to be able to make a comparison; but, Arsenal is one of the top clubs in the world, so just being here is an experience.
I’ll check back in after the weekend and try to share a little more with everybody. | <urn:uuid:f56e6005-67a8-463e-9b46-fe59cf414b62> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.fcdallas.com/post/2011/11/18/breks-blog | 2016-12-08T06:03:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542414.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00309-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970658 | 778 |
My mum wrote just over 100 while we kids were growing up. Unfortunately, once Dementia (sp) took hold she was unable to continue. Before she past away in 2011, I managed to have 6 of her poems/devotions edited by FW Ann (UK) and published these 6 in my Glimpses of his Glory book. (Mum wrote in old English like the KJV that's why I had Ann edit them)
My Dad was been wanting the rest of her poems to be published so my siblings and I got together and made a plan. My eldest brother typed her poems from her handwriting books and emailed them to me as he completed them. Six poems were unreadable because of fading/aging but we managed to rewrite most in the original form of her books. My other brother, between me and the eldest brother, went through family photos and found a few that we could use throughout the book. Both my brothers, my sister and myself wrote a poem, article or letter that discribed our mum, or what our mum's poems meant to each of us. We also included a beautiful poem written by Mum's long time pastor that he wrote for her funeral.
I designed a cover (very simple like Mum would have wanted) and put the book together. Dad, now 2 years after Mum's death has been thrilled to be my proofreader and gave the nod for the book title: Poem's from the Heart of Our Mum.
As soon as I have the link, I will post it here on the porch. | <urn:uuid:06ca1eaf-225a-47e3-bb59-b3da26b70a87> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.faithwriters.com/Boards/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=521899 | 2014-12-22T04:38:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802773201.145/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075253-00037-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992875 | 314 |
Judge Lowers Damage Awards Against Desley Brooks
A judge has drastically reduced the compensatory and punitive damages a jury awarded to former Black Panther Party leader Elaine Brown in her lawsuit against Oakland City Councilwoman Desley Brooks for an incident in which Brooks pushed Brown down at an Oakland nightclub.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Paul Herbert said he understands why the jury was upset at Brooks for "testifying falsely" and "lying about the events under oath" in discussing the incident at the Everett & Jones BBQ restaurant near Jack London Square at about 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, 2015.
The confrontation between Brown, 74, and Brooks, 56, occurred when they got into an argument about a public housing project in West Oakland.
But Herbert said the jury's awards of $3.75 million in compensatory damages on Dec. 21 and $550,000 in punitive damages on Jan. 8 were "plainly excessive" and weren't based on the evidence in the case.
In a ruling issued on Thursday, Herbert reduced the compensatory damages award to $1.2 million in compensatory damages and $75,000 in punitive damages.
Herbert gave Brown until May 8 to accept the smaller amounts or have the case go to trial again.
Technically, Herbert denied a motion by Brooks and the city of Oakland for a new trial but only if Brown accepts the smaller amounts.
In a separate ruling on March 23, Herbert awarded Brown $1 million in attorneys' fees and costs for her case. That amount will stand if Brown accepts the lesser damage awards.
During the trial Brown's attorney Charles Bonner alleged that Brooks, who was elected to the City Council in 2002 and represents District 6 in East Oakland, punched Brown in the chest with two fists and sent her crashing backwards head over heels over a stack of folding chairs.
Bonner said Brown landed hard, hitting the back of her head on a chair, and suffered a rotator cuff injury that required surgery and will affect her the rest of her life.
In its verdict in the compensatory damages phase of the case, the jury found that Brooks attacked Brown without justification, that Brown had never threatened her, that Brooks was acting within the scope of her employment with the city and that her assault on Brown was an act of elder abuse.
Bonner said the city of Oakland's liability insurance likely will pay the $3.75 million in compensatory damages but Brooks will personally have to pay the punitive damages award.
It is expected that the city's insurance policy will also pay for the attorneys' fees and other costs.
In his ruling, Herbert said he agrees with the jury's conclusion that "Ms. Brooks testified falsely many times under oath about the key events pertinent to determining whether she had any reasonable basis whatsoever in claim lawful self-defense" and that Brooks "exhibited no genuine remorse."
But Herbert said he believes, "the jury allowed their feelings of anger and disbelief toward Ms. Brooks to unduly influence their determination of the damage amounts to be awarded for both compensatory and punitive damages."
Bonner didn't respond to a request for comment on whether Brown will accept the smaller damage awards.
Dan Siegel, one of Brooks' attorneys, said Herbert's ruling "definitely is a step in the right direction" but he would have liked to have the damages reduced to zero.
Oakland City Attorney Office spokesman Alex Katz said the office couldn't comment because it's still an ongoing legal proceeding.
Brown headed the Black Panther Party from 1974 to 1977 and served as an aide to Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson at the time of the incident in 2015.

BIX WEIR: RE: RON PAUL "Big Announcement Tomorrow"
Posted By: watcher51445
Date: Sunday, 15-Jan-2012 04:04:08
My email inbox has been overflowing asking if Ron Paul's "Major Announcement" tomorrow has anything to do with the Sarah Palin endorsement...
Big Announcement Tomorrow
Although I think it's a bit early for it to happen now - anything is possible. One thing is for sure ...when she does it WILL be an instant "game changer".
I do know that she came out the other day against Romney asking him to PROVE that he created 100k jobs while he was at Bain Capital. Of course he didn't...nor was that his goal. His goal was exactly the opposite - to slice and dice "old school" companies up extracting any and all dormant value for himself regardless of the impact on the business, the communities effected or the lives of the employees. It was his "American Way".
So we wait for tomorrow's announcement from our good friend Dr. Paul. Whatever it is will only add to the momentum he already has.
Keep fighting for our future Ron!
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.

Yes! A person born in Beverly Hills, CA and another person born in Somalia are the result of luck. None of gets to choose their parents or where they are born. Those are the cards we're dealt!
Having said that it's not where you start off but where you end up that counts. History is filled with people who overcame severe disadvantages to lead happy, successful, productive lives.
Success leaves clues!
I believe the first step is to read biographies or study what people did to elevate themselves. If two people follow the same exact recipe they're likely to get similar results.
One has to truly (believe) they can do better.
It's one thing to have a dream and another thing when the dream has you! Ambition, determination, persistence, along with education and networking with (like minded people) while avoiding the "traps" such as criminal activity, unplanned pregnancies, choosing the wrong mate, using drugs or excessive alcohol can go a long way towards changing one's life. Also knowing how to say "no" to people who will pull you down. This includes family and friends.
Life is a (personal) journey.
Our lives are for the most part the end result of the choices and decisions we have made along the way.
No one is "stuck' where they are!

As a Relationship Confidant, women come to me frequently with this same perplexing question: What does it all mean when the man in my life is distancing himself from me? As a Guy Spy into the Male Mind let me help clarify this male phenomenon. Women as we know tend to be extremely relational and nurturing. Rarely do they pull away from chick chats and friendships, so it is understandably difficult for women to comprehend why someone would do such a thing!
There are standard reasons that a man would distance himself in a relationship, so to help comfort you, please understand that most of the reasons have nothing to do with you! Financial concerns are probably at the top of the list. There is no way you could know whether his bills are paid or his account is overdrawn unless he opened up to you about such details, but believe me if money is an issue for him, he may spend more time than you can imagine worrying about it.
Another key component is his career. If he’s got his boss breathing down his neck, that will create a lot of anxiety for him and cause him to isolate. If he has been read the riot act at work he may still be licking his wounds, so give him the time and space to do so!
Other issues that may spring up for him could have to do with his health or his family. Depending on how long you have known him will determine how much he will divulge to you about such things that weigh heavy on his heart.
The worst thing a woman can do when she senses the man distancing himself is to nag him and keep asking him “what’s the matter” or “what are you thinking about” or “why don’t you talk to me”. What he really needs is time, space and understanding! Don’t use this situation to start drilling him with questions, text messages, phone calls or complaints. He needs you to be strong for him and with him. If he senses strength and confidence from you he will not only open up to you more easily, but that confidence is extremely attractive! He needs a partner that will walk through the storm with him in quietness and strength, not a whining cling-on that drains him.
So the next time you find yourself in this position, don’t focus on what is not happening with your man but focus on what you can do to make life smooth! Take care of you! Pamper yourself, make time with other friends and let him have the space he needs to rally. In doing this you would have enhanced your own life and given him an opportunity to see how amazing you really are!

"We Can't Wait."
HHS has issued a press release
on steps it is taking to encourage providers to adopt health information technology. Yawn. Another day, another press release, right?
Not exactly. This press release doesn't start with the bland, dry bureaucrat-speak you usually see, it's got a punchy tag line. HHS can't wait for doctors and hospitals to get on the bandwagon and get with this whole computer thingy, so the press release starts out, "We can't wait."
Hmm, that sounds familiar. Where have I heard "we can't wait" before, and recently? Oh yeah, it's Obama's 2012 reelection campaign slogan
If you thought the US Department of Health and Human Services was an organ of the Democratic Party, . . . you're apparently right.
UPDATE: a reader named Ben writes in the comments:
I've read your blog for many years, and always found it very helpful. But I
don't read it for political commentary.
And I generally try to keep this blog free from political commentary, more or less. It's no secret I'm a conservative (although I have no allegiance to the Republican party, a/k/a the "stupid party"), and that naturally flavors my way of viewing things. But if I wanted to write political rants here, I'm free to do so, since it's my blog. And Ben (and all the rest of you) are free to not
read my rants. I'll give you a full refund of your subscription fees, too.
But the HHS is not, and shouldn't be, the President's political
mouthpiece. He's President, so he gets to appoint the top folks and run it as he likes, with policies pointed in the direction he likes, subject to the specific boundaries set by Congress. Just like he gets to fly around the country on Air Force 1 (at a large cost of taxpayer dollars) and tie up traffic in Manhattan for political fundraisers; as long as there's some non-political purpose as a fig leaf for part of the trip, then he's allowed to do so. Regardless of which party he leads.
But he doesn't get to use HHS for political purposes. He doesn't get to use HHS to provide care only to Democrats, or to grant waivers only to states that voted for him. HHS belongs to all of us, not to the President. Just as the President's political operatives can meet with him in the White House but can't use White House resources for campaigning, he can guide the HHS in a way that suits him politically but can't use it as a campaign tool. It's not right, it violates a public trust, and it creates an appearance that HHS is a partisan organization.
I would call out a Republican president who did the same thing. Of course, if it were a Republican, I wouldn't be the only one.

POSTED: 01:52 p.m. HST, Jan 06, 2014
The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), the state's tourism agency, has awarded 2014 grants to 138 statewide organizations that enrich tourism through culture, natural resources and county specific events across the isles.
The awards cover three HTA product enrichment programs, including the County Enrichment Program, the Living Hawaiian Culture Program and the Natural Resources Community-Based Program.
Established by the Hawaii State Legislature in 1998, HTA works to direct Hawaii tourism in a manner that is consistent with the community's economic goals, cultural values, preservation of natural resources, community desires and visitor industry needs.
"Our Product Enrichment Programs provide us with the unique opportunity to support community events and programs that our residents are able to enjoy, while also drawing visitors to experience our host and multi-cultures and vast natural resources," said Mike McCartney, HTA president and CEO. "Through our collective efforts with the four counties and the Hawaii Community Foundation, we are able to provide unique experiences that highlight our greatest assets - our people, place and culture."
The grants support events and initiatives like Duke's Ocean Fest, Waikiki Spam Jam, Hawaii State Farm Fair, Kaneohe Bay Reef Restoration Project and the Waikiki Improvement Association's Torch Lighting. | <urn:uuid:b775814d-f2c7-4874-bf3e-c2905c861253> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/20140106_HTA_awards_product_enrichment_grants.html | 2014-07-28T08:36:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510257966.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011737-00310-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.922073 | 270 |
RENUNCIATION OF THE ROLE OF LIQUIDATOR
No one is bound to accept the office of liquidator of a succession unless he is the sole heir.
Once the office of liquidator is accepted, the liquidator or testator may bring an application to court to replace the liquidator.
No form is required to renounce the office of liquidator; however, it is recommended to do it in a notarized act as the testator may require for such a form of renunciation.
It must also be noted that a liquidator may be liable for damages which result from an unjustified renunciation of the office.

PPC in 2011
Most would agree that 2010 was a good year for the Pay per click (PPC) industry.
Google AdWords continued to innovate and lead the marketplace. The floundering Yahoo Search Marketing merged with Microsoft adCenter to form the stronger Search Alliance. Facebook continued to make strides in creating a substantial PPC-based social media advertising platform. Twitter has came up with its "promoted tweets".
So where does that leave us for the New Year? What can we expect from the world of PPC in 2011?
Growth of Display Advertising
Formerly known as the Content Network, Google's Display Network is like a sleeping giant. Google has always put some resources toward its development and it has continued to thrive despite a long-held sentiment by many advertisers that it's an unwieldy marketing channel.
Throughout 2010, Google stepped up its game with enhancements to how advertisers interact with the Display Network. Developments from 2010 have built a foundation that will allow strong growth in 2011. New targeting options like remarketing, and betas for category and interest based targeting mean that it's easier than ever to create targeted, well-performing Display Network campaigns.
PPC managers have talked about attribution for years as an analytical data point -- something to be discussed and shared with clients and stakeholders. In 2011 a new wave of insight will bring about actionable attribution.
Third-party tool vendors (and maybe even Google) are working out the kinks to enable PPC advertisers to make meaningful bid changes based on attribution data. Thank you PPC almighty!
Death of the Keyword
OK, so maybe that is a bit dramatic. Keywords aren't going away in 2011, but what will be making a quiet exit is extensive keyword management.
So many PPC managers are caught up in an endless cycle of micro-managing their keywords and keyword bids. Third-party management tools are allowing for increasingly more intelligent bidding rules and Google is working on their own automated bid rules, too.
In no way am I advocating ignoring your keyword performance. What these tools do is free up your time for other tasks. In the New Year, more people will realize that their time is better spent on tweaking ad copy/creative and landing pages for true conversion optimization.
Maturity of Facebook PPC
The Facebook PPC platform made huge strides in 2010 both in functionality but also in saturation to the PPC advertising crowd at large. More people are using Facebook (500 million and growing!). More advertisers are testing and getting good results from Facebook PPC.
These two elements combined are pushing the folks at Facebook to continue improving and innovating with their advertising platform. In 2011, look for capabilities to add new types of creatives, stronger reporting and analytics, and new controls a la ad rotation.
And if your head wasn't spinning already, the greater world of Search Engine Marketing is only going to get more complicated in the New Year. With each new feature or tactic comes a new set of rules that will rewrite your PPC strategy.
No longer is SEM as simple as loading a keyword, an ad, and a prayer. Ad copy/creative and landing page optimization are now taking a front seat in PPC management.
The Display Network is growing and requires your full attention. Bells and whistles keep coming into the picture (such as Product Extensions) that can improve your performance, but require your time, effort, and knowledge to employ correctly. Daily reading and study is just as important as active management for PPC managers to maintain their knowledge and skills.
Are You Ready For 2011?
I don't know about all of you, but I'm super excited for the New Year -- not only as a genuine PPC geek, but also for the potential to generate great results for my clients!
Although PPC is getting more complicated, information is out there to help guide you along in 2011. Take full advantage of the PPC platforms' help sections. Read Search Engine Watch and other blogs or forums for new ideas and updates.
But most importantly, don't get discouraged -- it's going to be a great year for PPC! | <urn:uuid:a85c850e-cb0c-456c-8d1b-377f5023910e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.iclickmedia.com.sg/search-engine-marketing-sem/ppc-in-2011/ | 2020-07-09T21:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655901509.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709193741-20200709223741-00466.warc.gz | en | 0.949864 | 848 |

Learn Welsh is a free online resource for beginners learning Welsh and offers a complete set of Welsh lessons, practice games and quick tests for over 100 Welsh topics, all free. Use the options in the box below to learn or revise any topic with any activity.
Start your visit to Learn Welsh with the Welsh Lesson for your chosen topic. Each of our 100+ lessons consists of an introduction to the topic language and 3 lesson activities - a yes/no activity, an either/or activity and a multiple choice activity. During the introduction to the topic, it is important that you repeat the audio after you hear it, and write down the texts to help your memory absorb both the sound and look of that language.
The 3 lesson activities are graded from easy to more difficult. As you work your way through them, you will find that your grasp and retention of the target language gradually improves. By the time you have completed the whole lesson, you should be able to recall and repeat the vocabulary for each of the topic items without prompting.
There are 9 free games you can use to practice the Welsh topic you are learning at Learn Welsh. The games are quick and simple to play and improve language retention by excercising different areas of the brain. Try a variety of games for the best results! The games are free to use and work on both tablets (including iPads) and desktop computers.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Complete your topic learning session by taking our 2 tests - a multiple choice test and a writing test. These will confirm that you have fully grasped and are able to reproduce the Welsh you have learned by doing the lesson and playing the games.
The writing test is harder than the multiple choice but is important if you wish to be able to write Welsh as well as speaking it! As you can see from the screenshot, there is a Help button if you get stuck...
To start using Learn Welsh click here or on the "1. Start" button in the board at the top of the page.
On the Start page you choose the first topic you want to learn. Once you have chosen a topic you can go straight to the lessons - there is an introduction to the language, a yes/no activity, an either/or activity and a multiple choice activity. Once you have worked your way through these play a few games to reinforce the Welsh for your selected topic. Then finally try our two tests - multiple choice and writing - to make sure you have learned the language correctly.
If you are a parent, you may want to check out our parents page for more information on how your child should use Learn Welsh to enhance their Welsh language learning. There is also an FAQ page with more information on Learn Welsh.

Helen Walton built her career at what is now called the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. She started in 1941 as a junior secretary and worked her way up to the faculty’s most senior non-academic position. Ms. Walton met thousands of students during her tenure and heard first-hand about their triumphs and their struggles. She heard stories about working the night-shift or running out of money or raising young children and then getting up for class in the morning. Ms. Walton wanted to make it easier for these hard-working students to succeed.
When she retired, she established the Helen M. Walton Bursary to support pharmacy students in financial need. It’s her way of helping brilliant students become distinguished scientists in search of cures. It also gives Ms. Walton a lasting connection to the faculty where she spent more than 44 years. | <urn:uuid:ce129591-65d3-4a8f-8825-4bc935fdfbad> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://boundless.utoronto.ca/donors/helen-walton/ | 2018-12-17T16:46:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376828697.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181217161704-20181217183704-00461.warc.gz | en | 0.974068 | 175 |
The year 2019 is turning out to be a good year for Xiaomi. After the successful launch of Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi Note 7 and Redmi 7, Xiaomi is now all set to take on the biggies with a Redmi smartphone equipped with the flagship Snapdragon 855 Soc and a pop-up selfie camera. The rumoured device has been in the news for a while now, but with the new teaser video, things seem a little more certain. The video was posted on Redmi's official Weibo channel and also features other popular Redmi smartphones like Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi Note 7 and Redmi 7.
The teaser video on Weibo showcases the trailer of Avengers: Endgame and teases the Avengers-edition boxes for its latest Redmi devices. The video also gives a quick look of the new phone playing up the bezel-less display and a pop-up selfie camera. A new fan-created teaser has also appeared on the Chinese social networking site with an edge-to-edge display and a pop-up selfie camera. The fan renders also showcase a triple rear camera, similar to the one seen on Xiaomi's Mi9.
Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing said that the new flagship device will be competitively priced. The executive also said that the company is preparing enough stock of the device. Earlier, Global Vice President and India Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain had spoken about the Redmi phone that will come with new Snapdragon SoCs.
Meanwhile, the details regarding the new Redmi phone is still sketchy, there are rumours that the phone could be released in India as Poco F2. To recall, Poco F1 was also launched with the flagship Snapdragon 845 SoC and was competitively priced. Poco F2, if released in the next few months, will pose a tough challenge to the OnePlus 7 series smartphones. The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage option of Poco F1 is available in India for Rs 20,999. | <urn:uuid:4c029185-141f-49fb-afff-b83aabd46a9a> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/top-story/xiaomi-mysterious-redmi-smartphone-snapdragon-855-soc-pop-up-selfie-camera/story/342330.html | 2019-11-20T19:43:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670601.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120185646-20191120213646-00148.warc.gz | en | 0.944511 | 412 |
Jimmy is angry at The Sixth Sense because Bruce Willis only appeared in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
Wait, sometime before the multiverse exploded, Fe was knocked up again. Balik ba tayo sa original timeline?

Soaps.com recently chatted with young Hollywood heartthrob Dylan Patton, the talented actor who portrayed Will Horton on Days of Our Lives for the greater part of 2009. His work on the show not only garnered him a serious fan-base, but a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actor! Read on as Dylan shares his feelings on being nominated, funny memories from the set of DOOL, and the truth behind his departure from the show!
Soaps.com: So how about that Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actor?
Dylan: Hell yeah! [laughs]
Soaps.com: [laughs] How does it feel to be nominated and get some recognition for your work on Days of Our Lives?
Dylan: It's crazy. When I started the show I didn't even think it could happen. I mean, even when I had went to the Emmys I was joking like, "oh yeah, maybe next year I'll get nominated!" Totally just being sarcastic. Now it's a reality and now I might win. I'm actually nominated! Even when I was pre-nominated I was like, "no, there's no way." [laughs] All the people I was up against, even the people on my show that were nominated in the same category. Wow! Now we'll just have to see what happens.
Soaps.com: Your fans are definitely pulling for you, and you certainly have garnered a lot of them from your time on the show as Will Horton! Many are still wondering why you left. What's the real story behind your departure?
Dylan: I didn't leave the show. I was told that I was going to be replaced by another actor. It came as a shock to me. I don't know, they do it all the time. And now I don't even know what's going on with the kids storyline on Days. I don't even think that it's going on anymore. They let go of Taylor Spreitler (Mia McCormick, DOOL) and all the other kids. [Editor's note: This was his speculation but the 'other kids' are still working on the show. They just haven't been seen on canvas much.]
Soaps.com: There's a rumor that the show told you they wanted to put Will into a gay storyline and that you didn't feel comfortable doing it, which is why they switched actors. Can you set the record straight once and for all?
Dylan: The show never even asked me about that. What I think is that even if they were going to do that story, they probably wouldn't have even asked me about it anyway. They didn't make Will gay, did they?
Soaps.com: As of right now, no.
Dylan: I guess we'll see.
Dylan: My favorite person to work with would definitely be the kid who played my best friend on the show. In real life his name is Brendan (Coughlin, Tad, DOOL). He was really funny. I actually almost got into a fight with him on set one time. We got a little rowdy! [laughs]
Soaps.com: [laughs] Really?
Dylan: He'd always be making jokes. Oh my God, I can't even believe I'm going to tell you this right now. I was about to walk into a bar, halfway through a scene. He's supposed to come out of the bar right before I go in. So we're actually taping here, we're filming. He comes out of the bar, goes around the corner and pulls his pants down and moons me! Right as I'm walking into the scene! The stage manager walks around the corner to cue me to go in, and was just so appalled. But we thought it was funny. [laughs]
Soaps.com: That's hilarious! Any other scenes you particularly enjoyed?
Dylan: Pretty much the ending of every scene when the director would yell, "cut!" Everyone would pretty much bust out laughing. They make you hold it for so long, especially for a serious scene. You just have to laugh at it after it's all done.
Soaps.com: Do you still keep in touch with anyone from Days?
Dylan: No, not really. Everyone who I hung out with had texted me or called me once they heard I was off the show. Now, if I see someone from Days, we definitely say hi. All those people were just awesome.
Soaps.com: From an actor's standpoint, what's different about working on a soap opera compared to working in other genres?
Dylan: It's a lot quicker and it's definitely a full-time job. I've done four different movies where, it's like, you do that for a few months and then you're done. You're out of that character. With soaps, though, everyone gets to know you and you become associated with your character. Everyone thinks of you in that role. But I wasn't on Days for that long so I'm not really too worried about being "Will" forever. I can definitely move onto other things.
Soaps.com: What other projects are you involved with right now?
Dylan: Right now it's been extremely slow. Everything I go out on, I've been so close but there's just so many other people out there trying to do the same thing. When I was on Days, I didn't have to worry about going out to audition for other parts like I'm doing now. It's a lot harder than it was before.
Soaps.com: Would you ever return to daytime?
Dylan: There's a possibility out there right now that I might end up on another soap. That's still kind of up in the air.
Soaps.com: What if Days ever asked you back?
Dylan: If Days ever asked me to come back? Yeah, I probably would, if they really wanted me to!
