The Met Office Twitter feed just keeps getting better these days, and they seem to have any number of ways to exploit it to the full, which leaves the rather stale offering from BBC weather a poor second in my opinion. I suppose that’s reflected in the number of followers the UKMO get on Twitter 810.4K at the last count as compared to the 461.3K who follow BBC Weather. I would have thought that there was an intense rivalry between the two organisations on this particular metric. I particularly like the way that they mix animation and graphics together, take a look at this fly through animation for instance for something as banal as visualising overnight minimum temperatures for example.
And this recent yellow wind warning for the Shetlands, which I must say was very accurate, does benefit from the additional NWP animation of forecast gusts they included.
The animation for this tweet which summarises the past days weather has been around for a long time but is still very effective.
This NWP animation of what look like 850 hPa temperature is simple but very effective.
And so too is this rather clever “4cast” for the days weather.
The beauty of this approach is that the same output can be shared on their Facebook site as well. I am very envious of the products they produce, which are both well designed and professional. Obviously the people who work on the media desk, or whatever they call it these days, has become a quite important figure in the forecasting office these days almost rivalling the great Oz. | <urn:uuid:ef7739e0-60b3-43d2-93a7-58e5ed5c1022> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://xmetman.com/the-met-office-and-twitter/ | 2020-07-10T14:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655911092.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710144305-20200710174305-00536.warc.gz | en | 0.973641 | 319 |

Big Media Woes; Jussie Smollett Found Guilty; Democracy Summit’s Future | Clear Perspective
CNN has been facing numerous scandals recently, including the firing of disgraced host Chris Cuomo. Fox News’ Chris Wallace has announced that he will be moving to CNN, drawing ridicule from many. Meanwhile, Jussie Smollett has been found guilty of orchestrating a fake attack, hiring two men to play MAGA supporters and pretend to attack him. At the Democracy Summit, Nicaragua announced that it is cutting ties with Taiwan and recognizes Beijing. The US announced that it will establish a global anti-corruption coordinator and an anti-corruption fund. If such conferences are held annually, it could become a large international coalition outside of the United Nations. The whole world would slowly get used to the dual system of the UN and the Democracy Summit. ----------- Youmaker 🔥 https://www.youmaker.com/c/ClearPerspective We are on GETTR now 🧨 https://gettr.com/user/clearperspecti4 Email 📧 https://newsletter-et.youmaker.com/?channel=clear-perspective Telegram ✈️ https://t.me/ClearPerspective Facebook 🔵 https://www.facebook.com/ClearPerspectiveSerene Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/ClearPerspecti4 Rumble ✅ https://rumble.com/c/c-436245 Subscribe to my channel now: 💎 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdYQ-8oEmFTXWcCMnaJoYfw?sub_confirmation=1 ----------- #Democracy #CNN #SereneLee Big Media Woes; Jussie Smollett Found Guilty; Democracy Summit’s Future | Clear Perspective | <urn:uuid:868085ac-f218-445f-a988-3b62d3c276cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.youmaker.com/v/GagK3jN3NWYN_Big-Media-Woes-Jussie-Smollett-Found-Guilty-Democracy-Summit-s-Future-Clear-Perspective.html | 2023-12-09T14:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100912.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209134916-20231209164916-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.851001 | 406 |

This year, many organizations - forced by the corona crisis - are undergoing an accelerated digital transformation. It’s become painfully clear in recent weeks just how much they rely on their IT environment and business-critical applications for continuity. Digital platforms lie at the heart of the organization - for revenues as well as employee productivity. Suddenly, organizations are grappling with questions like “can our platform handle twice the visitor numbers?” or "can my employees work remotely?” This has placed new priorities on the CIO’s agenda.
The 'software is eating the world' principle, which denotes how organizations are becoming software companies, is gaining traction. For example, organizations that were, until recently, renowned for their physical store concept are accelerating their transformation to an 'online platform'. This transition to using online platforms as a primary channel has a major impact on performance requirements for the relevant applications and possibly the end user experience. After all, consumers expect the same service quality online, anywhere, at any time.
Vision and responsibility
Business demands are increasing, as is pressure on the IT department to deliver faster, better quality services. Performance management will therefore occupy a higher position on the organization's agenda. This means the CIO can put themselves and their department firmly on the map. They just need to develop a clear vision and take responsibility for its implementation.
When the whole world goes online at the same time, the importance of infrastructure scalability and good monitoring become apparent, as does the impact on performance for organizations that depend on their online platform. For example, online giant WebEx has struggled with performance problems. Netflix was asked to reduce the bandwidth of its streaming services, while Zoom had to temporarily scale down the HD quality of its video conferencing services. These examples underline how public cloud and performance management have become crucial topics in a short period of time.
A growing dependence on digital platforms increases the importance of having a flexible IT infrastructure. As a result, more and more organizations are considering bringing parts of applications and processes - or even their entire infrastructure - over to the cloud. By opting for a transition to the public cloud, or a hybrid solution, an organization can accelerate the time-to-market for critical applications. It can automatically scale up or down based on (peak) load and consistently guarantee good service quality to all end users. Transitioning to the (public) cloud does, however, present organizations with a dynamic, more complex environment, which they need a better handle on and more control over. That makes continuous performance monitoring crucial, alongside the guaranteed, optimal availability of applications.
Up until recently, performance management, and more specifically performance monitoring, was not prioritized within many organizations, let alone subject to a proactive approach. It was only when performance issues arose that people started working on it. Moreover, a lack of the right tools often made it difficult, from a technical perspective, to determine where the problem was. As a result, technology partners were unable to identify the domain in which a problem occurred, so passing the buck would continue. To be in control, a clear vision for Performance Management is important.
With performance monitoring, many organizations focus on technical monitoring, which gives administrators insight on an application’s continuity. But monitoring also has a softer side, namely the end user experience. It’s within the CIO’s remit to focus on that side of performance monitoring and take it to a higher level. Chain monitoring (or end-to-end monitoring) is the magic word here, it offers insight on the end user’s objective experience - and therefore the quality of IT services provided.
How then do you start performance monitoring as an organization? Three different scenarios are conceivable:
- Organisations purchase a performance monitoring tool. In this way, the organization itself builds up knowledge. In many cases, specialists are hired to enable a successful implementation and application.
- Organizations enter into a partnership with a supplier specializing in performance monitoring. This supplier guides the organization during implementation. As an independent third-party, it will also 'monitor' the products and services of infrastructure and application suppliers.
- Organizations ask their managed service provider to support them in setting up performance monitoring, thereby minimizing their own need to handle it. This integrated way of working also facilitates the direct use of monitoring data to optimize the platform and the application.
To summarize, an accelerated digital transformation is on the horizon, where an 'online first' strategy is indispensable. As a result, CIOs are confronted with a new reality, which entails new priorities. The ultimate end-user experience within a flexible environment will be the new holy grail for organizations. Any CIO who understands this and appreciates the crucial, related roles of performance monitoring and transitioning to the public cloud will begin this transformation in 'pole position'. It’s simply a matter of selecting one of the scenarios described above - success is guaranteed. | <urn:uuid:9a677fe1-85ee-4e00-8f80-55b75f6d1346> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://resources.sentia.com/new-priorities-for-cios-performance-monitoring-and-the-public-cloud | 2024-02-25T16:19:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474617.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225135334-20240225165334-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.945522 | 1,001 |
Description of Stela D: The Animalistic Ego
Its face appears with a mask.
The ears are chiseled in that way to indicate that we must learn how to listen to the teachings, the Word, to know how to pay attention to what it is saying to us.
The attitude of its hands is very well known among high initiates. The attitude in which they appear on this stela—hands over the chest, fingers touching each other—applies very much to meditation.
On the center of its chest there is a magnetic point, known in the Hebraic Kabbalah by the name of Tiphereth, the region of the soul. This is enough reason to comprehend why these deities have their hands over their chest in the clear attitude of meditation.
The scepter is a kind of a formidable rough, heavy bar with two lateral wings, which gives us the idea of the Caduceus of Mercury of the wise—in other words, the positive and negative forces. The bar itself represents the third force, the creative energy, which is the force that can carry us to the realization of the intimate Self, the Being; it is the force employed for the Great Work.
The scepter also gives the idea of the double-edged ax. In these moments, the case comes into my memory of what is often spoken in esotericism about the "hermaphrodite lumberjacks." This is an order of perfect androgynes or Helios. They are called "lumberjacks" because with their axes they chop trees that personify, typify, or—better said—symbolize our errors from the past. Let us clarify here that when we talk about hermaphrodites, we are talking about perfect, androgynous beings and not about those degenerated homosexuals of this day and age.
We find on this stone a very vivid illustration of the work that we must perform in ourselves in relation with the disintegration of the ego.
We see here with completely dazzling clarity the Hebraic doctrine of Judas Iscariot: the disintegration of the ego.
Judas Iscariot is not as many think, a man who betrayed his Master. No! Judas Iscariot performed a script taught by his Master, and that is all! Jesus of Nazareth himself prepared him, and Judas learned this script by memory, thus, consciously, he played his role in public.
The doctrine of Judas signifies the elimination of all our psychological aggregates: death to the ego.
This is why Judas "hung himself," in order to indicate that the ego must be reduced to ashes.
Judas followed a script, and nothing else. He prepared himself conscientiously in order to not contradict at all the sacred scriptures. Just as any actor performs his role, Judas rehearsed it many times before performing it in public, and nothing more.
Judas is and continues to be the most exalted disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. Judas achieved Christification.
Some animal figures can be seen on this stela; these are a vibrant representation of our psychological errors.
There is an urgent necessity of working on the death of the ego in order to liberate the Essence, the consciousness, the Buddhata.
The miter is very damaged, but still shows the idea of the three forces: holy affirmation, holy negation, and holy conciliation. | <urn:uuid:fde77231-e2db-4aa4-bd29-80b2745b138b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.samaelaunweor.org/en/mayan-mysteries/description-of-stela-d-the-animalistic-ego | 2019-06-26T13:09:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000306.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626114215-20190626140215-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.957304 | 712 |
“We Tried Sex In 5 Totally Different Places — And This Is What It Was Like”
By Anonymous; photograph by Francisco Garcia
You won’t be going back to the bedroom after this…
You’ve heard it before: if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. But when it comes to your sex life, heading into the kitchen – or the living room, or the stairwell – can stoke the sexual fire.
“It’s easy to fall into a rut: ‘Your side of the bed or mine?’” says Emily Morse, author of Hot Sex. Simply getting out of the bedroom can make things more exciting. Use this room-by-room guide to turn your home sweet home into a sexy love shack.
You’ve probably christened your couch already, but have you involved a cushion? Placing one under your lower back angles your pelvis up, making for increased clitoral stimulation when he enters you missionary-style, says Morse. Likewise, ottomans don’t get as much action as they deserve. If he sits on the footstool, you can straddle him while still having both feet on the ground, which results in easier, more powerful thrusting. Another option is to amp up the exhibition factor, without becoming those neighbours (you know, the ones who always “forget” to draw the curtains). Simply get closer to the window and open the blinds just a touch. But if you want to be able to greet the Khumalos next door without turning tomato, shut the blinds and click on some porn. As foreplay, make a picnic dinner and eat on the floor, suggests Ian Kerner, a sex counsellor and author of She Comes First.
He says : I sat on a Morris chair with her straddling me and we took turns choosing the pace. I liked it when she used the armrests to lift herself. The TV was a distraction, so turn that off lest you get caught ogling Jeannie D. And make doubly sure the kids are asleep!
She say: The couch is the perfect height for girl-on-top. Besides you having to do all the work, there’s not much that can go wrong. Just make sure you hide the remote before hitting the on button with your man.
Takeaway tip: Try sitting with your back to him, feet on the floor. You’ll have more control.
Regular old shower sex: been there, done that. Heighten under-the-water nooky by adding lubrication (silicone versions are water-friendly) or a toy, like a waterproof vibrator, spongy kneepads, or Sex in the Shower’s suction-on handles, footrests and even handcuffs if you’re a very dirty girl (available online and at sex shops). Just think: there’s no other room where you can customise the handle heights and footrests to your exact specifications – or keep moving them around for variety – so experiment! Or let him wash you in the bath with a vibrating sponge (yes, they make those too). When you’re ready to return to dry land, get in some mirror time. “Lean over the counter with him standing behind you and both of you can watch,” says Morse.
He says: I particularly liked how extended our foreplay was, with her soaping up every inch of my body and paying extra attention to my bathing suit bits. The downside? It’s cramped, it’s slippery and even if you convince your babe that you’re saving water, you actually end up using far more than if you showered solo.
She says: Getting sweaty in the shower made it easier to clean off afterwards. Because we have a small shower, positions were limited – luckily, we had a plastic stool handy, so we pulled it in with us to prop my leg up on.
Takeaway tip: Be prepared to experiment with positions. Or try the bath – even the side of the bath can work. And a detachable showerhead is a great investment! Keep lube handy – water washes away your natural lubrication.
They’re a hot spot for more than standard missionary quickies. Exhibit A: standing doggie-style. Bend over a few steps up from him so your parts are aligned and he can enter you without having to crouch – a position that allows for deep penetration and lends an animal quality to your session (the other reason they call it doggie-style). Or consider this: “Stairs can help women who don’t have enough leg strength for reverse cowgirl,” says Morse. Have him recline on a step while you straddle him with your back to him. Use the ledge below for leg leverage so you can remain steady while thrusting. There’s lots of potential here for G-spot stimulation, and you can get even more bang for your bucking by having him reach around you for some manual action as well. (You’re doing most of the work, after all!)
He says: We don’t have a staircase, and my girl refused my advances when I pressed her up against the wall in the fire exit at her work. Still, I’m determined to complete my homework and you, dear reader, will be the first to know just as soon as I do.
She says: We live in a single-storey house, so we put the steps in our garden to good use. But with only four steps, angles were tricky and I was constantly worried bugs would fly into questionable places.
Takeaway tip: Grab a cushion to kneel on. Failing that, use his hoodie or a blanket. Carpet burn is painful.
If you can take the heat, stay in the kitchen! Sitting on the edge of your breakfast or dining room table with your legs wrapped tightly around him as he stands in front of you allows for maximum skin contact and kissing, which makes this move a delicious combo of racy and sweet. You can also lie back, put your feet on his shoulders and lift your bum up to meet his thrusts, which allows for particularly deep penetration. Kerner recommends adding a little flavour with food, but skip clichéd (and messy) chocolate sauce and whipped cream in favour of Fisherman’s Friend lozenges. Roll a few around in your mouth before oral sex; they contain capsaicin, the ingredient that gives spicy food its kick and stimulates arousal. Or string necklaces made of sweets around your neck or limbs and get him to nibble at them. And if you don’t mind the mess, dust yourself in icing sugar and have your lover lick it off.
He says: This is where I introduce most of my foreplay. You see, when you’re married, sex sometimes works best as a transaction. I cook. I clean up. Then I collect my dessert. We did it on the counter with her sitting and me standing in front of her. Not only was this really comfortable, the best part was watching the action reflected in the dining room mirrors.
She says: We decided to make a meal of things on our new dining room table. The position: you seated, him standing. If you’re flexible, hook one of your legs around his neck. It allows him to go deliciously deeper and – bonus! – gives your stomach muscles a rest.
Takeaway tip: The height of your table is a big factor. Keep a chair close by to rest your leg on – unless you have a super-strong core, you’ll need support.
WH asked five sexologists how to get it on in the garage, and they all had the same answer: realise his teenage dream and have sex in your car. Since you’re not actually on the road, you can both get into the driver’s seat. Slide it back as far as it will go, then straddle him while he grabs the steering wheel to help turbocharge his thrusts. Or if you’ve been searching for a spot to hang a sex swing (because… who hasn’t?), look no further. Yes, it’s a little Samantha Jones, but it’s ideal for sampling more-challenging positions without pulling a muscle. “The garage could be a great place to set up something you wouldn’t want to have in your bedroom,” says Kerner.
He says: My partner wasn’t into the setting at all, so we compromised and went for a selfish quickie. The gritty surroundings don’t exactly add to the experience, but the urgency of the quickie made up for it.
She says: Not worrying about the police flashing a torch through the window put a new, uninhibited spin on car sex. But if your garage is anything like ours, it’s filthy. Oil stains, cobwebs and petrol fumes aren’t exactly turn-ons.
Takeaway tip: Who says you have to have sex in the car? Wind the window down and grab hold of the wheel with one hand and the window with the other. And don’t be afraid to use props… | <urn:uuid:62fea717-bc52-4867-ae2b-233fdcadb451> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.womenshealthsa.co.za/sex-love/sex-anywhere/ | 2020-09-30T15:19:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127075.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930141310-20200930171310-00293.warc.gz | en | 0.945497 | 1,951 |
To quote Zack Snyder, “You’re Living in a F**king Dreamworld” if you think there’s a single ounce of a plan for the DC Extended Universe anymore. At this point, it would be much better for your mental health to just look at every live-action DC project as its own standalone project and just let go of any attachment to a shared universe with the situations going on right now. What sparked this you ask? Well, if you’ve been living under a rock for the past 48 hours, Batgirl is no more, the film is dead and shelved indefinitely as Warner Brothers Discovery proves that even though it is a new company, the studio has retained the cluelessness of past leadership.
Batgirl was a film that went through development hell. It was originally set to be written and directed by the now disgraced fandom figure Joss Whedon. After Whedon was accused of butchering Justice League, Whedon ultimately stepped away from Batgirl. The film would go on to gain steam once again with writer Chirstina Hodson being brought on board in 2018, and directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi boarding the project in May 2021. Leading lady Leslie Grace would later sign on to the project in July 2021, with filming slated to begin later that year. After shifting release dates for other DC films, which would’ve helped to establish the new timeline, Batgirl never received a proper release date outside of 2023.
And now we know that the film is being shelved permanently. Initial reports claimed it was because the film didn’t fit what David Zaslav and the rest of Warner Bros. Discovery sought for the DC Extended Universe, while other reports claimed the decision was because the film wasn’t an “event film.” As we now know, it appears to have been a mix of it all, with the studio seeking to get a tax write-off for Batgirl.
The thing is, Batgirl was nearly done. Deadline confirmed the directors were well into post-production on the film and reports indicated the test screenings of the films were getting mixed-positive reviews. This did not stop Warner Bros. Discovery from canning it despite the film costing a reported $90 million because the studio didn’t think it fit its new image of what DC films should be. This is a ridiculous decision that reportedly had one rival studio executive “floored,” calling the situation one of the most “unprecedented” of their three-decade-long career.
Not to feed into any rumors or conspiracies but it makes one think the new regime could be completely abandoning the previous one’s attempt at a soft reboot and possibly looking to ditch the concept of a new timeline spawning from the events of The Flash, with Ben Affleck most recently replacing Michael Keaton in Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom. The change the studio is after, however, is mostly attributed to the film’s new release date, now set to release before The Flash and including some important details for the future.
The move to shelve the film, though, is just completely and utterly baffling, especially as Warner Bros. Discovery has deemed itself as a new regime that wants to save money and trim. By shelving Batgirl, the studio has willingly shelved a $90 million film for a meager $15-$25 million tax write-off. It’s a project that could’ve easily been released on HBO Max as originally intended. After all, Batgirl was a project that was reportedly near completion and at the tail end of post-production. The fact that the studio felt the film wasn’t built for theaters makes absolutely zero sense as plenty of films made for streaming have received theatrical runs. The most frustrating bit of it all is that with Batgirl being a tax write-down, it means the film can never be released through any monetizable method, or even sold to another studio, so unless the film miraculously makes its way onto the internet via a leak, it will never see the light of day.
Another downside to this decision? DC had its chance, once again, to capitalize on the potential success of a live-action Batfamily, this could’ve been the jumping-off point, the gateway to so many beloved characters from the comics. Fans have been dying to see the many children of Bruce Wayne come together on the big screen like Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Duke Thomas, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Kate Kane, and Luke Fox, but of course, instead we receive crushed dreams and wasted potential.
On top of the absent Batfamily, Batgirl would’ve offered another chance for the Birds of Prey and allowed them to become whole as they welcome Barbara Gordon into their ranks. The Batgirl film was even reportedly going to set up the Black Canary solo project, one that could meet a similar fate to Wonder Twins and now Batgirl, as it may not meet the arbitrary standards Zaslav wants DC films to hold. The fact that a tax break factored into all of this makes it feel as if Warner Brothers has lost all of its artistic integrity, leaving the studio merely an IP-fueled cash cow that’ll push out slop for the masses.
The decision to cancel Batgirl just makes no sense in the end. | <urn:uuid:f177ebe1-023b-476b-a069-be358ab1f374> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://www.murphysmultiverse.com/opinion-the-decision-to-cancel-batgirl-was-a-bad-one/ | 2023-06-01T02:01:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224647525.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601010402-20230601040402-00381.warc.gz | en | 0.971917 | 1,106 |

SEO? What is SEO?
It's an acronym used in the internet marketing industry. Broken down, SEO is an acronym for search engine optimization. SEO is the practice of building a website to be search engine friendly. Basically, if you are selling widgets, and someone goes to a search engine (Google, Yahoo, Etc.) and types in the word “widgets”. Whose site would you want to show up on the first page of Google? Yours of course! Well, SEO is the continuous process to assist your website in the top placement under the keywords that directly relate to your product or service.
There is a phrase that is well known in the search engine optimization field that truly sums up the SEO practice:
Content is King, Linking is Queen.
The content on your website needs to reflect the search words that your target audience will be typing into a search query. If you are selling widgets and your website talks about your great customer service without referencing the word “widgets”, it is unlikely you will show up once “widgets” is searched.
The second half of that statement, "Linking is Queen" is actually just as important as your content. Search engines have spiders (hence the word WEB) that crawl from website to website. The path they take to get from one site to the next is by the links that are built in the site. As you can see on our website, we have a number of links exiting our site and pointing to other sites.
Now, don’t go and add a bunch of links to your site just because. Links are given a rating by the search engines. Its almost a popularity contest. Whoever has the most links pointing to their site, receives the higher rating. The quality of the links play a high role as well. However, it’s not that easy. But these are the basics of SEO. | <urn:uuid:16b25e45-a9cb-42d0-bfae-f61fc82e30e4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.keystoneclick.com/resource-library/blog/basic-fyi-your-basic-seo | 2022-08-17T18:52:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00085.warc.gz | en | 0.95943 | 396 |
House Resolution Goes Beyond Genocide Recognition Seeking Truth and Justice
In a welcome move, four members of the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced a resolution that advocates a new approach for the pursuit of Armenian rights in Congress, going beyond genocide recognition.
This new bipartisan initiative, introduced by Congressmen David Valadao (R-CA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Michael Grimm (R-NY), and Frank Pallone (D-NJ), is appropriately titled: “Armenian Genocide Truth and Justice Act.”
It is well-known that the U.S. government has recognized the Armenian Genocide on several occasions, starting in 1951 by the submission of an official document to the International Court of Justice (World Court), followed by Pres. Ronald Reagan’s Presidential Proclamation of April 22, 1981, and through two House resolutions in 1975 and 1984.
The proposed measure calls upon Pres. Obama “to work toward equitable, constructive, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations based upon the Republic of Turkey’s full acknowledgement of the facts and ongoing consequences of the Armenian Genocide, and a fair, just, and comprehensive international resolution of this crime against humanity,” the Armenian National Committee of America reported.
It is high time that Armenian-Americans support congressional efforts that go beyond the mere repetition of the acknowledged facts of Armenian Genocide, and seek the more meaningful goal of justice, which entails the restitution and recovery of the substantial losses suffered as a consequence of the Genocide, including personal and community properties, and the occupied territories of Western Armenia. It is hardly conceivable that anyone would dare to oppose the universally-accepted concept of justice, not even Rejep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey, who heads the ruling ‘Justice and Development Party.’
It is understandable that for many years, it was necessary to seek genocide recognition as most of the world was unaware of the Armenian Genocide. However, as a result of the relentless efforts by the Armenian Diaspora and the Republic of Armenia, there is no longer a need to continue pursuing recognition -- having largely prevailed over persistent Turkish denialism. By declaring victory and moving forward to reclaim their just demands, Armenians would avoid falling in the Turkish trap of trying to reconfirm the facts of the Genocide ad nauseam! Meanwhile, the Turkish government would continue its shameful refusal to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide or might engage in the deceptive game of issuing partial and meaningless apologies in order to mislead the international community on the eve of the Genocide’s Centennial.
The new House resolution also seeks to shift the U.S. government’s efforts away from the ill-fated Armenia-Turkey Protocols and refocus the Obama Administration’s attention on Armenia’s just demands from Turkey. The congressional resolution reminds Pres. Obama of his April 24, 2012 statement in which he advocated that “a full, frank, and just acknowledgement of the facts is in all of our interests. Moving forward with the future cannot be done without reckoning with the facts of the past.”
The resolution points out that the Republic of Turkey, rather than “reckoning with the facts of the past,” has “escalated its international campaign of Armenian Genocide denial, maintained its blockade of Armenia, and increased its pressure on the small but growing Turkish civil society movement acknowledging the Armenian Genocide and seeking justice from this systematic campaign of destruction of millions of Armenian, Greek, Assyrian, Pontian, Syriac, and other Christians upon their biblical-era homelands.”
The Congressional resolution further declares that U.S. “national interests in the establishment of equitable, constructive, stable, and durable relations between Armenians and Turks cannot be meaningfully advanced by circumventing or otherwise seeking to avoid materially addressing the central political, legal, security, and moral issue between these two nations: Turkey’s denial of truth and justice for the Armenian Genocide.”
The newly-introduced resolution makes it clear that Armenians, rather than being satisfied by merely regurgitating the well-known facts of the Genocide, demand a just resolution through full and comprehensive restitution. | <urn:uuid:9b5e9001-70a5-4563-8859-72eaba198e42> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://www.armeniapedia.org/wiki/House_Resolution_Goes_Beyond_Genocide_Recognition_Seeking_Truth_and_Justice | 2020-01-18T04:33:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250591763.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200118023429-20200118051429-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.936166 | 849 |

Prosecutor: No conclusion on Walker's activity
MADISON – No conclusions have been made on whether there's enough evidence to charge Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker or anyone else with a crime, an attorney for the special prosecutor leading an investigation into alleged campaign law violations said Thursday.
A legal filing written by special prosecutor Francis Schmitz in December but made public last week accused the Republican governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate of being part of a nationwide "criminal scheme."
"While these documents outlined the prosecutor's legal theory, they did not establish the existence of a crime," attorney Randall Crocker said in a statement released Thursday. "Rather, they were arguments in support of further investigation to determine if criminal charges against any person or entity are warranted."
Crocker said that Walker, who is seeking re-election this year, was not a target of the probe and he has not been subpoenaed. He did not address whether Walker's campaign was targeted.
Walker said following a campaign stop Thursday that the statement "is just one more step in setting the record straight." Walker said his legal team did not ask Crocker to issue the statement, and said he is not in negotiations with prosecutors to settle the investigation.
A federal judge in May put the investigation into activity during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections on hold. Prosecutors have appealed that decision. Walker also said Thursday it was "highly probable" opponents of the investigation would continue to win in court, given recent victories before state and federal judges.
Prosecutors in their court filings detailed what they said was an illegal scheme by Walker, his campaign and his top two advisers to evade state elections laws and illegally raise money and coordinate with independent conservative groups.
"The scope of the criminal scheme under investigation is expansive," Schmitz wrote in the December court filing opposing motions to quash subpoenas. His filing also included an email in which Walker boasted to Republican operative Karl Rove about Walker's top adviser taking a lead role in coordinating the effort. Johnson was also the top adviser for conservative group Wisconsin Club for Growth.
Regardless, Democratic challenger Mary Burke launched a new television ad Thursday attacking Walker over the investigation just days after she said she would not make the accusations part of her campaign.
"I'm going to focus on getting my message out to the people of Wisconsin," Burke said in an interview with WISN-TV that was taped on June 20. "The type of governor I'd be, what I believe in, how I'm going to move Wisconsin's economy forward — so it's not going to be a focus of my campaign."
Her new 30-second ad, which was airing in the Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Wausau, and La Crosse markets, includes footage of television anchors talking about the allegations as well as a federal economic report released last week that showed Wisconsin ranked 37th in new job creation in 2013.
Walker's campaign manager called on Burke to take down the ad, calling it a slanderous repetition of baseless accusations. Burke refused.
Walker said all the questions about the investigation are a distraction.
"We think the voters deserve to have a debate about real issues," he said.
Burke is a former Trek Bicycle Corp. executive and was Commerce secretary under former governor Doyle for nearly three years. Walker's campaign continues to tie Burke to Doyle's policies, including tax increases and job losses that occurred during the Great Recession.
She is widely viewed as the front runner for the Democratic nomination, but she does face a challenge from state Rep. Brett Hulsey, who is mounting a longshot campaign. Walker is unchallenged. | <urn:uuid:87e56c96-64ab-4d81-9ce5-a130d41b8e09> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.htrnews.com/story/news/politics/2014/06/26/prosecutor-conclusion-walkers-activity/11420821/ | 2021-02-28T10:21:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178360745.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228084740-20210228114740-00059.warc.gz | en | 0.981721 | 736 |

LinkedIn is the preferred social media network of business professionals, especially in Des Moines. If you strive to succeed in the corporate environment you must pay attention to your LinkedIn profile.
The problem in looking for information about improving your LinkedIn training and profile is that there is so much information available to the average “Googler” that most people tend to get become overwhelmed quickly. You can get lost in a sea of connections and groups before you even get anything accomplished on LinkedIn.
The good news is LinkedIn is easy to use once you know what you are doing. With 161 million business professionals using the social network, it is a valuable tool to utilize. You can easily use this information to improve your LinkedIn profile.
If you are ready to get the most out of LinkedIn in, then read below for seven quick and easy LinkedIn training tips:
1. Understand the value of your profile
Your Des Moines LinkedIn profile can make or break your career, can find you job opportunities, and can display your value to the higher-ups at your current gig. By not giving LinkedIn the time and effort the network deserves, you could be doing yourself a great disservice. Click for More
2. Create a catchy headline
You do not want to come off dull in any area of your LinkedIn profile. This is especially true with your headline. Develop an exciting and interesting headline. Your headline should be catchy and help you sell yourself to all who view your profile. Make sure to add your industry below your headline as well.
3. Add a professional photo
A no-brainer, but you should have a professional head shot on your profile. The key word in this phrase is ‘professional’ as many people make the mistake of having a sloppy photo as their profile picture on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a business social network. Your goal is to appear as professional as possible.
4. SEO your profile text
When writing your profile text on LinkedIn you will want to use basic search engine optimization tactics in your writing. This will help your profile show up in searches when headhunters are looking for new hires. If you do not show up in searches, you do not exist. Think of a few keywords that are specific to your industry and make sure to include each one a few times in your text.
5. Be specific
It’s important when describing yourself on LinkedIn that you are specific in all areas. Do not just list your job titles. Tell other LinkedIn users exactly what you did while you had the role. Do not just list where you got your degree. List exactly what your major was, your GPA, and any other relevant information.
6. Join all 50 groups you are allowed to
Make sure to join the 50 groups LinkedIn allows you to. Join groups that relate to your industry, but don’t be afraid to join groups a bit outside your realm of expertise either. You will want to join groups where your target market is hanging out to get a jump on the competition and to connect with those involved in the industry.
7. Publish posts
You’ll want to publish relevant posts to your industry and career frequently on LinkedIn. These posts serve two purposes. First, you will position yourself as an expert in your industry if the content you are posting is engaging and relevant. Second, by posting you will begin to get noticed. | <urn:uuid:04c422f2-141d-4421-b064-7b87f7280207> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.bluefrogdm.com/blog/7-quick-easy-linkedin-tips-for-des-moines-professionals | 2020-08-09T09:15:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738523.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809073133-20200809103133-00527.warc.gz | en | 0.943059 | 683 |
January 15, 1964 Wednesday
Went to school with Lanny. Wore cranberry coat I gave Mommy for Christmas. Sheila kept chopping (insulting) me because it was so loud. Went to Assembly today. Whole SAFFRON crowd sat together. Had to take Junior High bus home again. It was terrible. Got home and found three failure notices from American Lit, bookkeeping and History. I’m so scared because there’s a big test in American Lit. – Edna called to ask about the test, she hasn’t studied either. I have so much to do this week, I don’t know what I’m going to do about the party. Called a few people to come. Ernie called, said he would come over but I talked him out of it.
Jan 16, 1964 Thursday NERVOUS DAY
Got wrecked in school today. First studied for American Lit. Then sat in class at lunch and studied shorthand. Got in big collision in the gym. Two girls ran into me and I got a bad head ache. Sandy drove me home. Spent so much money on the party… but Mommy’s worth it. Went shopping and bought food for the party. Then went to Bonnie’s and made potato salad, while Bon’s Mom made Mommy a cake. It said “Happy Birthday you old BAG”. Then there was a bag and it said 40 lbs.of health, wealth and happiness. Howard called. DARN!! I wasn’t home.
January 17, 1964 Friday Mommy’s Birthday, nervous night.
What a hectic day this was – couldn’t get the car so Mom had to drive me to school. Got out of gym to help Mrs. Ship. Mom picked up, me and Bonnie, in a loaner car. Went to Bon’s and started making food for the party. Was so nervous, couldn’t relax. House was a mess, everyone was mad. Mom didn’t come home until late. Carried food in car, home. Had an hour to hang balloons and lay food out. Grace was first to come. Than the Burke’s and Charlie Lewis. Then Mommie and Dad came home before all were there, which ruined the surprise. My cousin, John Huber came and I was ashamed to face him, because I never wrote him while he was in Camp Pendelton. Party was sort of quiet, broke up at 1:00 am. Mom was happy. Nana and Granddaddy cane and broke the ice.
As a Sophomore at Culver City High School, socializing was my number 1 priority. You’d think getting good grades and planing to go to College would be most the important. But no, the party always came first and having the right outfit!!!

Beware the Glass Cliff
Updated: Nov 16, 2020
With the effects of the pandemic pushing many businesses into crisis, the number of turnaround, high-risk leadership roles is set to rise. But the ledge of opportunity is often a glass cliff for female and minority candidates. What can candidates and organisations do to guard against the glass cliff phenomenon?
From glass ceiling to glass cliff
The term glass cliff – an extension of the glass ceiling metaphor - was first coined by Exeter University professors, Ryan and Haslam, to describe the phenomenon of women being more likely than men to be promoted in firms experiencing a crisis or at risk of failure. In subsequent research of Fortune 500 CEOs researchers Glass and Cook identified that women were twice as likely as men to be appointed to these high risk executive roles and that female executives were over-represented in firms experiencing scandals, turbulence or dramatic changes. These trends are also true for men and women of colour and other ethnic minorities. [3, 4]
Women who do take on these roles more often reported reduced authority and ability to implement strategy, resulting in shorter tenure, higher levels of failure, and a perpetuation of negative female leadership bias. Glass and Cook report that women face excessive scrutiny over their performance – an effect made worse given that women are a numerical minority in corporate leadership positions and are therefore highly visible. They also generally face higher board scrutiny due to the firm being in crisis, and typically as a minority within the board environment, their level of participation, authority and influence is often diminished.
Why it happens
There are plenty of high profile examples of the glass cliff phenomenon – Marissa Mayer, whose tumultuous CEO stint with Yahoo! followed five CEO transitions in five years as Yahoo! struggled to adapt to their competitor landscape. Or Meg Whitman promoted to CEO of Hewett Packard during financial difficulty. General Motors appointed Mary Barra as CEO during a bankruptcy bailout crisis and ignition switch problems that led to the deaths of 124 people.
So why are organisations putting a disproportionate number of women at the helm during a crisis? Existing leadership research from applied psychology suggests that women tend to be preferred over men as leaders during uncertain times. Stereotypically feminine traits – such as emotional sensitivity, morale building capabilities, strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative leadership style – are favoured during a crisis, as we are seeing from emerging research finding women’s political leadership being associated with fewer deaths from the covid pandemic. Other research points to decision-makers also being more likely to promote non-traditional leaders during a crisis as a signal to key stakeholders that they are ‘moving in a new direction’.
But why are women taking on such high-risk appointments? Part of the answer is that leadership opportunities available to women are not equal. Research by Bruckmüller and Branscombe found our unconscious biases mean that during times of stability or success, male leadership is favoured, particularly if men have previously been at the helm of that company. In fact, unless a company faces a crisis, there is generally no trigger for the firm to deviate from its pattern of male leadership. So female executives competing for roles during times of stability face a bias that favours male appointment by 67%, whereas a female leadership bias of 69% was shown when a firm previously headed by men was in crisis.
Interestingly, the glass cliff phenomenon disappears in companies which have historically been led by women. This suggests that as we become more used to seeing women at the top, female leaders will stop being selected primarily for risky turnarounds—and will get more chances to run companies where the odds of success are stacked in their favour.
Yet, we remain some way from gender balance at the top of companies. So while men are generally more confident that less risky roles will become available, women may see these high-risk appointments as the only gap they have to try prove their leadership credentials. In fact Glass and Cook found that every woman in the Fortune 500 CEO sample was asked to take on a high-risk assignments or position of crisis. As one CEO reported:
“I was always picked when there was a problem.. one time we were trying to avoid a union takeover, three times I replaced people who were fired for significant reasons”
For those who can negate the glass cliff to success, the rewards can be career transformational. Mary Barra’s continued success at the helm of General Motors has secured her the highest compensation of any leader of a Detroit Big Three automaker and one of only two firms in the 2018 Global Report on Gender Equality that reported no gender pay gap. But Barra’s story is the less common outcome for women and minorities who take on these high-risk roles.
Once installed, the women in these positions face a higher level of scrutiny, diminished power to implement strategy and the kind of everyday sexism that proliferates lower ranks. Female CEOs reported a hyper-attentiveness to impression management and expectations on their performance having to be “as close to perfect as possible” at all times, both personally and professionally. One CEO summarised her experience with her (entirely male) board:
“… half of them can’t remember my name or they call me the name of the women of the admin who supports them. … usually … l’m not invited in to some things. I feel very much on the outside of that. It’s an inner sanctum”
Most women appointed into glass cliff roles end up with a shorter tenure (a 2016 study of the Fortune 500 found median CEO tenure for women was 42 months compared to men’s 60 months). Thirty two percent of female CEOs were forced to step down or fired, compared to only 13% of their male counterparts. And perhaps the most telling stat is that after being forced out of their CEO roles only 27% of women remained in the corporate sector – with many moving to non-profit work, whereas 67% of the men continued to serve on corporate boards.
Check points for candidates – how to sidestep the glass cliff
For women who are looking for that transformational opportunity in their career – what are the things to watch for? Vicky Maxwell of Savannah identifies some useful navigational points for potential candidates:
Assess the quality of the leadership: question the CEO about what challenges are being faced by the organisation and their ‘perfect’ vision for the next 6-12 months. It’s also good to ask what they they’re like on a good or a bad day as it will give insight into self-awareness and their ability to face up to where they may need help.
Check alignment across the executive team: Message alignment is a crucial evaluation step. Are you given an opportunity to meet the entire Exco or only a select handful of middle managers? Have you been given clear budget and timelines for the transformation? Are the boundaries on your role clear and when and how will your success be measured?
Organisational context: Transformation can only be achieved through committed organisational culture and senior leadership. A PE backed business or a FTSE 100 or 250 will be under intense pressure to deliver their objectives. It’s important to do your homework and due diligence on their governance structure for signs of undue complexity. If it’s a maze, walk away.
Cultural compatibility: even the dream ticket job can become a nightmare if your values and goals are not aligned. Scrutinise the corporate culture and behaviours and be honest about whether these values and behaviours fit with you.
Watch points for organisations
Organisations need to bring their share by increasing their level of transparency in executive appointment decisions, and addressing the unconscious gender stereotypes that underpin them. In particular organisations need to look out for:
Numerical minority: Is the appointed CEO going to be a minority in the board room and what can be done to ensure old biases don’t creep in? How can the board implement programmes that do not isolate or exclude or favour ‘old boys club’ mentality or practices?
Scrutiny: Are female candidates held up to a different professional standard and are they evaluated personally. As one CEO reported “my weight, hair and fashion choices were fodder for critique and examination by subordinates, peers and superiors alike”.
Support and authority: will the candidate be given the level of support and authority needed by the board and executive team to implement strategy? Early transparency with the candidate could be the first step in building trust and ensuring a more successful outcome.

Beijing: China on Thursday asserted its opposition to India’s membership bid to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), saying there is no change in its stand and efforts were on to forge “consensus” among the 48-member elite nuclear club about the admission of new members.
“China’s position on this remains unchanged,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told the media here responding to Russian deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkovs remarks in New Delhi that Moscow was speaking to China for India’s membership into the NSG.
China, a key member of the NSG, has been stridently opposing India’s bid primarily on the grounds that New Delhi is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Its opposition has made India’s entry into the group difficult as the NSG works on the principle of consensus.
Chinas repeated stonewalling of India’s membership bid in the NSG has become a major stumbling block in bilateral relations.
After India’s application for entry into the elite group which controls nuclear trade, Pakistan, China’s all-weather ally, too had applied with the tacit backing of Beijing.
Pakistan’s application came despite serious allegation of proliferation of nuclear technology by its scientist A. Q. Khan.
Ryabkov said that Russia is unwavering in its support to India’s membership of international nuclear control regimes and Moscow was speaking to China in this regard.
Asked for his reaction to Ryabkovs comments, Geng said all the members of the NSG supported the two-step approach-to find non-discriminatory solution that applies to all non-NPT countries then on that basis discuss the application of the non-NPT counties.
He said the focus is on some non-NPT countries who hope to join the group in the capacity of nuclear weapons free countries.
“At the same time they will not sign the Comprehensive Safeguard Agreement (CSA) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)” which is mandatory under the NPT, he said.
“In this circumstance if we agree for the above-mentioned applications, it will have two consequences, that is to recognise the nuclear weapons status of the Non-NPT countries. Secondly, it will cause other than nuclear weapons free countries to follow suit not to sign CSA with IAEA,” he said.
“This will subvert the NPT and whole international non- proliferation regime,” he added.
China suggested that the NSG can pool the wisdom and further explore on this issue and find a solution which can be accepted by all relevant parties and can uphold the international non-proliferation regime with NPT as a cornerstone.
“On this we will further discuss application of non-contracting parties,” Geng said.
Asked whether the issue will figure in the Russia, India, China (RIC) foreign ministers meeting to be held in Delhi on December 11, Geng said that the meeting will focus on pragmatic cooperation. At the same time they will exchange views on international issues of common concern. | <urn:uuid:736eaabd-1e88-431d-89b5-64ae7bf73616> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thewire.in/diplomacy/china-says-no-change-stand-indias-membership-nsg | 2022-08-17T02:29:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00222.warc.gz | en | 0.945768 | 667 |
The world is deglobalizing as both an economic and political strategy, and even in cases like Russia’s, the military is also involved. Governments are forcing their companies to cut off key supplies like chips and with it everything planned for at least the last two years is being accelerated before the collapse. NVIDIA is one of those companies that is making a move, and according to the latest report it has serious problems to arrive on time, since, not being a chip manufacturer, but a designer, it depends on a second (in this case TSMC) to be able to sell the chips on time. How long can you sell NVIDIA chips to China?
The problem with committing to other companies is that what is signed in the agreement is taken as a measure of time and direction, as if it were a vector, to launch business strategies for third-party clients. The sanctions imposed overnight by the US against China have turned everything upside down and times are very short if we take into account the volumes and investments made. Therefore, NVIDIA, and not AMD for other reasons (not dependent on the Chinese market), is subject to high pressure right now.
NVIDIA, TSMC, chips and China, squaring the time circle
As we have already seen in its corresponding article, the US is going to veto a large number of products and chips from China. Among them are the A100 and H100 of the green company, which give them a very high profit margin and because of this, NVIDIA wants to prioritize them. It is not only the time, it is the cost of development, investment and benefits that have been spent, on the one hand, and that they will not be able to obtain on the other.
For this reason, those of Huang have already contacted TSMC to join the new special program called “SUPER Hot Run” and so power reduce the time of creation and arrival at the manufacturers in half. It won’t be cheap, but it seems that even then it pays NVIDIA to pay the cost. TSMC is delighted because it will have higher income despite the effort and the Chinese will be able to satisfy and continue with their plans by changing the roadmap starting next year.
Time is the key factor, how much does NVIDIA really have?
The US government has given its companies a reasonable amount of time to adapt to the new changes that are coming. It speaks of a grace or transition periodwhere specifically, of the two previously named chips, only one of them will have room for maneuver with periods and stock.
Therefore, the report ensures that with the A100 NVIDIA has a maximum time to supply these chips that will end in march next year. Instead, Chinese companies will be able to buy chips H100 until September 2023that is, 6 more months and one year since the Law came out.
With all that said, NVIDIA and TSMC will be able to supply two batches of chips or DGX systemswhat each company needs or wants, before the first crash on the A100and in principle, they will be able to do between 3 or 4 lots for the H100, since the times have been lowered by the Taiwanese to approximately two or three months with this new accelerated SUPER Hot Run program. The world is fragmenting, the West and part of the East close their doors to China while Russia seeks to be its best ally… Without a doubt, a new economic and geopolitical map is yet to come, take a seat, because this will surely not be the last report that we see inside the world of semiconductors. | <urn:uuid:ebc6cb27-8c96-4c28-8680-067b18a33538> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://cristalplay.com/6-months-to-sell-the-chips/ | 2022-10-07T13:13:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030338073.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007112411-20221007142411-00446.warc.gz | en | 0.974791 | 723 |

by Nancy Macaluso, National Association of REALTORS®, President’s Liaison to South Africa
South Africa Rising was the theme I chose, during my 2013 visit as the National Association of REALTORS® President’s Liaison to South Africa. I named it that as South Africa rose to meet the world’s economic leading countries being recognized as one of the “BRICS” countries- Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.
This year, in its second year of the emerging middle class market, South Africa continues to show signs of good business in the residential market place. Visible indicators include more real estate advertising in their country, ads supportive of real estate ancillary businesses, such as, maintaining a home, financial institutions mortgages, and homeowners insurance; along with, advertisements that indicate community stability and a happy family environment.
As it happens, there is a non-scientific track record that the South African economy has been following that of the United States by approximately a 6-month period for quite a few years. If business is on the rise in the US, South Africa will often follow. With this in mind, when I travel to South Africa, one of the tools I use in speaking with Estate Agent members, is research/statistics from NAR’s Chief Economist, Laurence Yun’s office. This information helps South African real estate practitioners measure and prepare for future business (an economic indicator).
Signs of continued housing and commercial growth are evident in both the northern country (Pretoria) and the southern section (Cape Town) seeing new housing developments, commercial strip centers rising, resort properties, and larger grocery stores that resemble those in the U.S. I was taken to one grocery store to meet with the new Manager, and to my surprise he was from Boca Raton, FL, a community just 30 miles south of where I live in Southeast Florida. The shelves of the new store were well stocked to meet his diverse customers’ purchases, including refrigeration cabinets with pre-prepared foods, reflecting the fast-paced lifestyles of modern South African households.
2013 also brought the birth of South Africa’s first totally “cloud-based” real estate office in Cape Town, run by an International REALTOR® Member, Toni Enderli. Enderli relocated his company’s office from a standard store-front on a commercial block, to a location in the heart of a busy shopping center. Placing their office location strategically at the end of the center with outside windows off the entrance of the shopping center, where the consumer has to pass by their office to enter and exit the center’s grocery market. In their windows were 9 flat screen television sets, all rotating from one subject matter to the other (current listings, neighborhood information, consumer testimonials, agents discussing the benefits of working with this progressive firm and their progressive iCloud work environment).
On my most recent visit to South Africa, I was introduced to some city planners, builders, and commercial agents who believe their country must educate the upcoming generation to sustain a future for their country. They have banded together in building new schools at each level to support this commitment. One of the old jails, has now become an award winning university with all the technologies for learning.
South Africa is a real estate license country, with a 2-year continuing education requirement. The Institute of Estate Agents of South Africa (IEASA) has been a global partner of the National Association of REALTORS® for over 30 years. This organization represented real estate for most of those years, then due to a government mandate a few years ago, the Broker Owners were to separate from the Estate Agents by law. This took a few years to re-establish and define how brokers/owners would work with their agents. This gave birth to the new Real Estate Broker Owners of South Africa (REBOSA). NAR welcomed REBOSA as a new global alliance partner by signing an agreement of cooperation at the 2014 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in New Orleans last week. This brings both Associations within their levels of country representation (owners and labor) and cooperative business with NAR.
South Africa’s currency is the RAND, currently trading at ten Rand to one USD (10 Rand= US $1). This makes South Africa an affordable destination for commercial and residential investors from the US, and many other countries worldwide. With South Africa rising, opportunities are rising.

Watch: The stunning mural of a miner that has appeared in the Valleys
This is the wonderful mural of a miner which has been greeted with universal acclaim by locals for the beauty of the work and the story it tells.
Housed on the side of Parkside Funeral Home in Rhymney, this landmark piece of work is packed with detail and loaded with meaning.
The ornate artwork was painted over four days by talented graffiti artist Tom Llewellyn, best known by his non-de-plume Tee2Sugars.
WATCH DRONE FOOTAGE OF THE MURAL
Work on the mural was supposed to start late last year but the artist, from Merthyr, says that Covid put paid to those plans, as Wales went into lockdown.
“Work was due to start in December, which to be honest is not a good time to do a mural because of the weather,” says Tom. “So when restriction were eased we decided on April when we thought there would be better weather.
“It should have taken three days but we had everything from rain and sleet to snow and wind, you name it we had it,” he laughs. “Then as luck would have it the sun came out when the piece was finished.”
The story behind the genesis of the mural came about thanks to a love of running and street art.
Simon Lewis, who owns Parkside Funeral Home with his mother Pat Griffiths, is a keen marathon runner and often trains on the Taff Trail.
He cast admiring glances at Tom’s work, much of which can be seen on the Taff Trail. Deciding he’d love to see a mural on the side of the funeral home in Rhymney he contacted Tom and discussions began about what would be appropriate.
“The initial idea was a collage of different images, but in the end we decided on the image of the miner was the best idea given the tradition of mining in the area,” says Tom.
However, as he points out the mural is much more than that of miner.
Take the local landmark – the bent iron for instance.
Placed above the miner, the iron has a rich history locally.
“The history of the bent iron stems from 1935 when a group of railway workmen down the local pub decided to bend a piece of railway track and stuck it up on the mountainside.
“That’s where it remained until 2005 when a proper monument was created out of it. Given its relevance locally, Pat was keen to have the bent iron included in the piece.”
Also key to the mural are the words written upon it. They are lyrics taken from the song ‘Working Man’, originally released by Rita MacNeill in 1988, it was popularised by singer David Alexander.
‘It is played a lot at funerals and obviously has a certain amount fo poignancy given its location and the mining industry,” says Tom.
The lyrics read:
It’s a working man l am
And I’ve been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
The mural also features the miner holding a lantern – another key component of the piece.
“The idea is that because funerals are a dark time in people’s lives, the lantern is lighting the darkness, bringing light into people’s lives. So all these little things came together to make the mural what it is. It’s not like a piece of graffiti we wanted it to look like a proper painting.”
For the artist it’s the latest in a number of works he has put together since losing his job as a sign writer at the start of the pandemic.
Taking the decision to become a street artist full time, the 32-year-old father of two has not looked back.
Working on projects with schools, businesses and individuals, he’s booked up solid until 2023 – and hopes to expand his horizons internationally.
“I’ve set up a You Tube channel where I collaborate with other street artists,” says Tom. “I’m a big fan of a German artist called Smoenova and I’ll be heading to Germany next year to do a piece together with him.”
For now it’s all brewing up nicely for the artist called Tee2Sugars.
And if you are wondering…
“I’ve been called T since the age of 15, because of Tom,” explains the artist. “And I like my tea with two sugars!”

A lot has happened since I last updated this journal, and now I feel like resuming this introspective personal outlet for my own benefit. I’m going through some changes in life right now and would like to keep track of the thoughts that are developing in my mind. The two three main things that are going on are:
• I’m quitting my job at SugarCRM. My last day is May 29th.
• I’m going to backpack around SE Asia for two months. I’m leaving on May 29th to Saigon via Tokyo.
• Oh yeah, and I’m homeless as of 4 days ago. I’m living out of my car and a storage unit in San Francisco.
Sooooo, rather than tweet succinct thoughts as they come to my mind I think I’ll speak more completely about what’s going on.
What is going on at this very moment is that I just fried a 750gb hard disk containing a backup of the iMac I had been using before I was homeless. Little things like this are preparing me for the potential pitfalls I may encounter on my journey. | <urn:uuid:7d08c9e5-facc-49d8-89a2-60f5959e6772> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://protanoptic.com/2009/05/04/resuming-the-journal/ | 2014-09-02T21:14:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535922871.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20140901014522-00328-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97058 | 240 |
I got paid today. Woo hoo! VER paid out their $0.1375/share
dividend which means I got $55.00 cash money out of my 400 shares. Awesome.
This is a highly anticipated and very welcome dividend. I’ve
chronicled my now year-long roller coaster with this particular stock already,
so I won’t rehash that here. Unfortunately this income represents only a 5.85%
invested yield vs a 6.63% ($8.29 share price at time of writing) market yield,
but that is a hell of a lot better than 0% yield which is what this stock has
been paying this year so far. So I’m behind the market a bit, but that is still
in terms of a relatively short time frame (only 1 year). If I have any hope for
the invested yield beating the market any time soon, it will likely have to be
a result of share price appreciation instead of dividend raises. The company is
still balancing out its finances and lowering its debt. I believe those moves
are necessary, and I approve of them, even though it will likely come at the
cost of a temporary growth hiatus.
But with that being said, the price/FFO is extremely low, so
the share price has a lot of upside if investors can put the dark history behind
them and trust management again. I would much prefer to gain invested yield
through dividend increases rather than share appreciation, but I’ll gladly take
what I can get.
All-in-all I still have to admit that this wasn’t a good
investment, but it’s turning itself around, and is at least looking like a not
bad investment….which is something.
In other news:
As I suspected it would, Eaton Vance’s (EV) latest dividend
announcement included a dividend increase today. The 4th quarter
dividend of $0.265/share is payable November 13 to shareholders of record on
October 30, 2015. That represents a 6% increase over the previous quarterly
dividend of $0.25/share, and it also represents the 35th consecutive
year with a dividend increase.
I am a little disappointed with the size of the increase,
but I understand they’re investing a little more than usual in “capex” right
now to develop their NextShares boondoggle which will hopefully lead to a lot
more future income from fees. In my investment thesis I based my fair value of
$50/share on an 8% DGR. A 6% DGR would imply the stock is overvalued. Over the
35 years of increases, they’ve averaged an 18% annual DGR. So this is a “down
year”, but it’s a marathon not a sprint. I’m pretty sure it will pick back up
again. And to keep it in perspective, a 6% raise for doing nothing is a pretty
good deal no matter how you look at it. | <urn:uuid:9bad1423-1e83-42de-bb7a-9bce049f2043> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://catfishwizard.com/2015/10/17/dgi-adventure-10-15-2015-payday-vereit-inc/ | 2019-03-18T17:59:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912201521.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190318172016-20190318194016-00129.warc.gz | en | 0.95174 | 653 |
In Georgia-- as in every other state -- employees who are temporarily out of work through no fault of their own may qualify for unemployment benefits. The eligibility rules, prior earnings requirements, benefit amounts, and other details vary from state to state. Here are the basic rules for collecting unemployment compensation in Georgia.
In Georgia, the Department of Labor handles unemployment benefits and determines eligibility on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must meet the following three eligibility requirements in order to collect unemployment benefits in Georgia:
• Your past earnings must meet certain minimum thresholds.
• You must be unemployed through no fault of your own, as defined by Georgia law.
• You must be able and available to work, and you must be actively seeking employment.
Virtually all states look at your recent work history and earnings during a one-year "base period" to determine your eligibility for unemployment. (For more information, see Nolo's article, Unemployment Compensation: Understanding the Base Period). In Georgia, as in most states, the base period is the earliest four of the five complete calendar quarters before you filed your benefits claim. For example, if you filed your claim in October of 2013, the base period would be from June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013.
During the base period, you must meet all of the following requirements in order to be eligible for unemployment:
You must be out of work through no fault of your own to qualify for unemployment benefits.
Layoffs. If you were laid off, lost your job in a reduction-in-force (RIF), or got "downsized" for economic reasons, you will still meet this requirement.
Firing. If you were fired because you lacked the skills to perform the job or simply weren't a good fit, you won’t necessarily be barred from receiving benefits. However, if you engaged in “misconduct,” you will not be eligible to receive unemployment. In Georgia, among other things, misconduct means an intentional violation of the employer’s rules, the failure to conform to standards which an employer can reasonably expect from an employee, or careless behavior that is so frequent or severe that it shows a disregard for the employer’s interests. For example, showing up to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs or having several unexcused absences after written warning would typically qualify as misconduct.
Quitting. If you quit your job, you won't be eligible for unemployment benefits unless you had a good work-related reason for quitting. In general, you will have a good work-related reason if there was a material change to your working conditions, a material change to your work agreement with your employer, or your employer failed to pay you for your work. A personal reason for quitting, no matter how compelling, will not satisfy this requirement.
To maintain your eligibility for unemployment benefits, you must be able to work, available to accept a job, and looking for employment. (For more information, see Nolo's article, Collecting Unemployment: Are You Able, Available, and Actively Seeking Work?) If you’re offered a suitable position, you must accept it. For the initial unemployment period, whether a position is suitable depends on several factors, including the level of skill and training required, the similarity between the work and your previous employment, how much the position pays, and the distance between the job site and your residence. However, after ten weeks of collecting unemployment, you will be expected to accept a position that pays at least 66% of the average hourly wage you earned during the highest quarter of your base period (provided that it is at least minimum wage).
You must conduct a reasonable search for work, which includes contacting at least three new job contacts each week. You should keep a record of your job search efforts, including the employers you have contacted, the dates you made contact, and the outcome. The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) may contact you or your employer contacts to verify your efforts.
Your weekly benefit amount is calculated by combining your wages from the two highest quarters in your base period, and dividing that number by 42. Your weekly benefit amount is subject to a weekly minimum of $44 and a maximum of $330. Benefits are available for up to 20 weeks.
You may file your claim for unemployment benefits in-person at a GDOL Career Center or online. You can find online filing information and contact information at http://www.dol.state.ga.us/js/. Once you file, you must continue to file weekly claims with the GDOL for each week for which you are claiming benefits.
Once it receives your application, the GDOL will send you some documents, including a Benefit Determination, stating your potential benefit amount and duration. You’ll also receive a Claims Examiner’s Determination, which lets you know whether the reason for leaving your job meets state eligibility requirements.
If your claim for unemployment is denied, you have 15 days to appeal the decision with the Appeals Tribunal. Your request for appeal must be in writing (letter format is fine) and mailed or faxed to a GDOL Career Center.
After receiving your appeal request, the GDOL will schedule a hearing before the Appeals Tribunal. At your hearing, the Appeals Tribunal will receive evidence from both you and your employer. The Appeals Tribunal will then issue a written decision and send you a copy by mail.
If you disagree with the decision, you may file an appeal with the Board of Review by the date stated in the Appeals Tribunal’s decision. The Board of Review will review the entire record, but will not hold another hearing. If you disagree with the Board of Review’s decision, you may appeal to the Georgia Superior Court in the county in which you worked.
The GDOL provides additional information on the unemployment process at its website, http://www.dol.state.ga.us/js/ (select "File an Unemployment Insurance Claim" to apply for benefits online, find out current eligibility requirements and benefit amounts, learn about the appeals process, and much more). | <urn:uuid:8b1ce193-ee47-494d-9dfb-355f0c459af7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/collecting-unemployment-benefits-georgia.html | 2018-05-25T18:51:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867173.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525180646-20180525200646-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.952314 | 1,250 |

Sorin: Many growth opportunities despite challenging markets
BUY, Fair Value EUR2.4 (+18%)
Sorin yesterday held an Investors Day in Milan at which the company detailed several growth drivers such as HeartLink/Connect/Inspire in Cardiac Surgery, SonR in Cardiac Rythym Management as well as the New Ventures projects. Emerging countries which represent currently 15% of sales are set to represent 25% of sales in 2018. At a group level, Sorin guides on a 3-5% topline growth in 2013-2016 and 8-10% in 2016-2018 including the contribution of the New Ventures. Regarding EPS, the 5-year target is to reach >EUR0.20 in the base business. Despite challenging underlying effects as well as an unfavourable FX environment (c.EUR10m expected in bottom line in 2014), we continue to like Sorin for its long-term perspectives on the base business and new ventures as well as management's track record on execution.

In the United States, we have an abundance of affordable and reliable energy. But some of us take having access to energy for granted. We expect to plug in and charge our mobile devices, flip a light switch and click on the television. And without fail, it all works. It’s not until our power—and our way of life—is interrupted that most of us think about energy and where it comes from.
California’s recent blackout revealed that having reliable electricity is an economic privilege, and interviews from across the state suggest those less affluent continue to have more losses and were disproportionately forced off the grid. | <urn:uuid:8a7f6f1e-a9e0-466b-b932-27f34a0eb507> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://reachingamerica.org/affordable-and-reliable-energy-makes-life-possible/ | 2020-08-05T20:09:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735964.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805183003-20200805213003-00189.warc.gz | en | 0.960565 | 126 |
“Ahh~! Fuck! Shit! Aaaah~!” It felt amazing and was practically a hardcore abdominal workout. I mean, I looked down and saw my muscles expanding, contracting and I was writhing around uncontrollably. Those bright-violet irises were gazing up at me, while her bald head was taking up most of my vision. Maybe it had to do with her chameleon ‘heritage’ but her tongue was abnormally long and she was surprisingly skilled at manipulating it. No, not just that. She was quivering and shaking just as much as I was…
Eve was even moaning and closing her eyes every so often. However, her left hand was gliding up and down my chest, abs and occasionally tightly gripping my ass cheek. The right hand was vigorously and violently fingering my pussy. In other words, there was no way she was fingering herself and I definitely didn’t see her grab any toys.
“Wow~, you are really fucking good at this!” I started to realize why my ex-girlfriend found it suspicious when I ate her out for the first time. It was hard to believe that Eve was actually a virgin, but well, judging by how red and pink her head was… Not to mention all the stuttering, fidgeting and other obviously nervous behavior, all body language and other behavior pointed towards hardcore-virginity.
As if she read my mind, Eve pulled her face back for a moment and panted heavily for a few seconds. With my pussy juice covering from her nose down to her chin, she smiled awkwardly and stammered: “I-I really haven’t, umm, done this before with anyone else. I didn’t, didn’t really lie. It’s just… You know, I’m not a total hermit, heh~… I’ve seen porn before… And I uh, this is super embarrassing but… I have toys, like, a lot of toys. It’s why I was afraid to show you, my bedroom.”
“Don’t worry, hahaha~, I’m sure I’d probably have a lot of toys too if I was you.” I grinned and then said, “Let’s go to your bedroom! I don’t like feeling like I’m the only one ‘receiving’ something… And now I wanna see your fancy toy collection for myself, hehe~!”
Eve seemed kinda anxious as she shook her head, “I umm… I guess it’d be called a fetish but, my tongue is super sensitive. My fingers too, no, I guess it’s my whole body. When I was uh, licking you earlier, I actually came a bit…”
“Ah, that’s good. I mean, honestly, I was a little worried about that.” I snickered and pushed myself off of the table, onto Eve’s lap. Although it was kinda hot getting eaten out on a kitchen table, as you can imagine, it’s not the most comfortable place to lay.
“Why were you worried? Oh…” It only took her a moment to frown and realize, “You thought I was being controlled by your power? If I notice something weird like that, I’ll definitely let you know. I’ve never gotten off with pure oral stimulation before, but I’ve also never been with anyone else before. No one but ‘you’, Ana.”
“Well there’s something oddly satisfying about stealing your tongue-virginity, hehe~!” I wrapped my arms around the back of her neck and then pressed my mouth against hers… I’ve tasted my own pussy juice countless times before, so it didn’t really bother me in the slightest. After all, I’ve eaten Ana out as Michael at least once a day since I woke up with two bodies.
I normally don’t give a damn about kissing, but considering that Eve’s entire body was convulsing as I gave her tongue a massage with mine, I actually found it pretty interesting for once. Of course, I still took the chance to pull her t-shirt off while she was struggling for breath. It was kinda hard, since her arms are super long, but she didn’t make me do all the work.
After tossing the shirt onto the dinner table, I only had a few seconds to get a good view of what was underneath. Although it wasn’t much of a surprise, but she wasn’t wearing a bra. Those ‘tiny’ titties looked small on her chest, yet it took my whole right hand to barely grab one. The main thing of note was that, while they were obviously slightly different from the rest of her skin, her nipples did change color as well. I guess it would be kinda useless if she turned her body brown or black, while her nipples remained bright-pink, right?
Regardless, they weren’t oddly shaped or fancy. Just kinda normal-looking. I also noticed that she had really nice fucking abs. They weren’t bulky, but just clearly defined. On the other hand, her arms, shoulders and various other places all still looked pretty thin. There was a big of muscle, however it was on the ‘normal’ level for a generic skinny girl. Not like Ana’s body-building ass.
Speaking of asses. I didn’t waste too much time on her upper-body, because I was pretty anxious to find out the most important thing: What does her butthole look like? Okay, don’t act all surprised. Vaginas vary pretty greatly, so there’s not much of a standard measurement. Even if they’re mangled or they have a giant clit, it’s still a pussy. On the other hand, anuses generally go through a lot of wear and tear throughout life. Hemorrhoids, fissures and all sorts of other injuries or diseases can occur, drastically changing how an asshole looks and functions. Of course, I wasn’t about to bend Eve over and perform a rectal exam in the middle of our slowly progressing make-out session.
By the way, when I ran my fingers across her absurdly smooth chest and abs, every spot I touched looked like an explosion of colors. Sometimes the skin would just become transparent or pitch-black, but usually it was like a rainbow swirl that expanded outwards for half a foot or more. For the most part, probably cause of arousal, she was mostly pink.
Eve still smelled amazing, her skin felt great, she was visually mesmerizing and her moans were adorable. So there was a sort of sinking feeling in my gut, because it all felt too good to be true. Maybe she had an inferiority complex about her own appearance, but most people do, so it’s not very strange. Aside from that, she probably had plenty of other issues, though I wasn’t going to worry about all that during our make-out session.
The most pressing and nerve wracking issue was definitely the butthole revelation. It might seem shallow, and maybe if you only wanted to fuck someone once, it wouldn’t really matter. But if you really liked someone and planned to be with them for a long time, I doubt you’d want to have to lie to them about how attractive they are. Or pretend some feature on their body doesn’t bother you or turn you off.
“Ah~!” Eve screamed as I grabbed her by the ass/thighs and lifted her up off the chair. She was tightly holding onto my neck and shoulders, so I didn’t have to carry her whole weight, but I could tell that she was relatively light. By that, I mean considering that she was a motherfucking seven foot tall giantess, 150 to 180 pounds is definitely super light.
Without much suspense, I placed her down on the corner of the table. That way she was able to lie down diagonally and not have her head dangling off the side. I let her knees rest on my shoulders, similar to what she did to me earlier and then yanked off her skirt, along with her soaking wet black panties.
I let out a sigh of relief once I finally saw her ‘completely naked’. She has a pretty normal-looking pussy. Not an innie like mine, but just an average outtie. The clit and labia somewhat blended in with her pinkish skin, though when I touched them with my fingers, they also turned into a swirl of rainbow-like colors. A certain type of beautiful chaos.
Internally, everything was just pink though. Similar to her lips and mouth. They didn’t really change colors and weren’t the same sort of ‘skin’ as her somewhat scaly exterior. Obviously there wasn’t any hair, just like the rest of her body. Some people would probably love that, while others would find it off-putting, but I thought it was perfectly fine.
As for her asshole, it was one of the top-three most common types: The slit. What I mean by that, is that rather than an easily visible star, circle or triangle, it was more oval in shape and somewhat hidden. As for the color, it was similar to her tongue or vagina, and with her legs spread wide open like that, her cheeks didn’t block anything at all.
From my extensive, almost inhuman mental collection of vaginas and buttholes, it was easy to make some quick comparisons. Hence why I was relieved when there was nothing visibly wrong with her anatomy, to the point where I’d have to lie and say: “Haha, yeah, your beautiful!” And not actually mean it. No one wants to be lied to… And most people don’t like lying to people, especially if they care about them. And no one wants to be told the truth when it hurts: Except hardcore massochists.
There was a decent amount of space between the opening of her vagina and the beginning of her anus. The skin there was smooth and covered in an intoxicating slimy substance, almost reminiscent to a creampie overflowing.
Even though I was mainly controlling Ana, I really wished that I could be there with my other body too. After all, Michael was currently sitting in front of the desktop computer and jerking off alone. It was kinda depressing, since I would usually be able to just have sex whenever I got horny lately. | <urn:uuid:4cba1535-fe83-4d23-b70a-30f281063a56> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://mike777ac.com/2021/07/07/bcj-chapter-75-lies/comment-page-1/ | 2021-08-03T18:42:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154466.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803155731-20210803185731-00460.warc.gz | en | 0.981911 | 2,281 |
With over 16 million AIDS orphans in the world, the need for someone, anyone, to help them is huge! He Intends Victory through our outreach, Terry’s Kids, is committed to helping all of those AIDS orphans that we can. But where do you start? And can we really make a difference?
Those were both questions I asked the Lord while on my first trip to Africa in 2001. I was in a remote village in Central Uganda called Nagamuli in with my HIV co-workers, Herb Hall and Mike McIntrye. We were there to “spy out the land”, that is to see if the ministry of He Intends Victory would work in Africa. The three hours over bumpy dirt roads and trails it took to get to this village were quickly forgotten as soon as I saw the 200+ mostly women and children dancing as we approached. They were happy to see us, that was for sure. AIDS, this far out of the city? Yes, many of the men in this village had already died and their infected widows were doing the best they could to raise their 2 or 3 or 6 children. But when you have no visible support, when you are as a mother are yourself sick with HIV infection, when you have no money to buy seed or food, even having an acre of land doesn’t help much. And then what happens when ‘mom’ finally dies? Where do the children go? When the disappointment that we were not doctors finally subsided, the joy that we were pastors prompted the women to bring their tiny, sickly babies to us for prayer. It wasn’t long before I heard in my heart that soft and gentle voice of the Holy Spirit, “Start with the one in front of you”. It was a privlilege to pray and know that we could do more to help these helpless children as we wept through our words to God and it was there in our hearts that Terry’s Kids was birthed.
Terry Duffy was Board member, friend, sister in Jesus, and committed to helping people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS all over the world. But Terry never had any children of her own so all kids became Terry’s Kids. And when she finally went home to heaven from cancer in July of 2002, it made sense to honor her memory and her love for AIDS orphans by calling our AIDS orphan sponsorship program, Terry’s Kids.
For the last five years we have been blessed to have Terry’s Kids working in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, India, and Paraguay. Today we have over 50 children sponsored who are now able to go to school, wear a school uniform and shoes, eat healthy food every day and all in the name of Jesus! One great thing about Terry’s Kids, unlike all other AIDS orphans programs is that ALL of the $ 40 a month to sponsor a child through our outreach goes to the child’s needs!
So as of January 1, 2013 we are pleased to share that we have now added Tanzania and Nepal to our Terry’s Kids countries.
This will soon make our potential a total of 200 children! Yet most of our children are waiting and praying for someone, anyone to care. Please don’t think that that is the total number of children under the He Intends Victory umbrella who could qualify for this program. I recently asked our 20 Country Directors what the total number of children under their care is for whom Terry’s Kids could help. The answer was 11,056! It can’t be that many!! But it is. Then the question comes to my mind, “Can we really make a difference?” And the Lord spoke to my heart and I heard, “If each of you will care on my behalf, you can change the world for these children!” There it was. Just start with the one in front of you and little by little, child by child, we will make a difference!
Do you want to hear what they say? Stephen from Uganda says to his sponsor, “I want to thank God for you and the help you always give. I thank you because I have been able to go on with my studies and I have been promoted to Primary 7.” Yeabsira from Ethiopia says, “Now I am a grade one student. I love you, I love my mom. I love my studies. How are your studies? I thank you for your support. I am very thankful for your being my sponsor. I pray for God to bless you and your family.” And Resty a young teenager from Uganda says, “ I can’t begin to thank you for your continuous support towards my future.”
Our goal this year, 2013, is to have 200 children sponsored. It wouldn’t hard. It’s the equivalent of 8 Starbucks or 2 movies and a popcorn. We COULD do it- together.
So go to Terry’sKids.org and sign up today. Pray about which child, which country you want to change, which lives you want to touch with God’s love. Then sign-up. You’ll get a letter from that child, you’ll get photo, and you’ll have the knowledge in your heart that the someone who cares for that AIDS orphan is YOU! | <urn:uuid:c3aa5b89-3843-41fe-aebb-9d1ffda31480> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://heintendsvictory.org/the-family-grows/ | 2015-08-29T14:33:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064503.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00318-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98231 | 1,119 |
The Obama administration was inching closer to a decision on how and whether to strike Syria, after Secretary of State John Kerry and the White House both declared that the evidence showing chemical weapons were used in a deadly attack last week is "undeniable."
"What is before us today is real, and it is compelling," Kerry said.
Administration officials, signaling they might not wait until U.N. inspectors finalize their own investigation, now say that the international community must respond to the use of chemical weapons. The comments from top U.S. officials on Monday signaled a shift in tone, with military action looking more likely than it did just a day or two ago.
Two administration officials said the U.S. was expected to make public a more formal determination of chemical weapons use on Tuesday, with an announcement of Obama's response likely to follow quickly.
The secretary of state addressed the allegations from State Department headquarters on Monday. He pointed a finger squarely at the Assad regime, sharply questioning any suggestion that the weapons could have been deployed by the opposition, or that the attack could have been staged. He called the strike a "moral obscenity" and accused the Syrian government of trying to destroy the evidence.
In Damascus Tuesday, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency issued a statement Tuesday accusing Kerry of citing "fabricated" evidence and saying that the secretary of state insisted on "jumping over" the work of U.N. inspectors, showing that the U.S. intended to exploit events.
Also, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallim said that the Assad government was not obstructing the work of the inspectors, but later announced that a second day of inspections would be pushed back to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Al-Muallim cited disputes between groups of rebels as the reason for the postponement.
Al-Muallim also vowed that the Syrian Army would carry out its campaign against the rebels despite the possibility of foreign strikes, which he said would only serve interests linked with Al Qaeda.
Earlier, U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq told the Associated Press the inspection team planned to go out again Tuesday to do more sampling, and activists said the team was expected in the eastern suburbs of Zamalka and Ein Tarma. On Monday, the investigators visited the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack -- they were earlier fired upon by unidentified snipers. The attackers struck one of the vehicles; the Assad regime accuses rebels of being behind the attack, while the rebels say government allies were responsible.
Kerry's comments drew the United States one step closer to possible military action. Kerry reiterated that President Obama is weighing the situation and will make an "informed decision" on how to respond in the coming days. But the secretary said the world must stand up to make sure such an attack never happens again.
The images from last week's attack, he said, "should shock the conscience of the world."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that there was "very little doubt that the Assad regime used those weapons." Carney added that the attack was a "clear violation of international norm," but also said that Obama has not made a decision on possible military action.
"There is not a military solution to this conflict," Carney said. "Ultimately, Assad has to step aside."
On Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said the alleged chemical attacks were "absolutely abhorrent" and added that Britain was considering a "proportionate response." Cameron announced Tuesday that he would recall Parliament earlier than scheduled to discuss a response to the events in Syria. A spokesman for the Prime Minister told reporters it was "reasonable to assume" that British forces were making contingency plans in the event of military action, but stressed that no such decision had been taken yet.
Also Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters that the actions of the Assad regime were "a crime against humanity and ... should not go answered. Today, it is clear the international community is faced with a test."
Italy is insisting that any military strike against Syria for its alleged chemical attack on civilians must be authorized by the U.N. Security Council.
Briefing Parliament on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Emma Bonino called the chemical attack a "war crime," but said the government wouldn't support military action without Security Council authorization.
"Italy will not take active part in any military action ... beyond the context of the Security Council," Bonino said, "which for us is and remains the only point of legal reference that cannot be ignored."
The State Department said late Monday it is canceling a meeting between Undersecretary Wendy Sherman and U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford with their Russian counterparts because of ongoing consultations about U.S. response to the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.
A senior State Department spokesman told Fox News the meeting will be rescheduled.
Leading members of Congress are starting to press the administration to consult with them first before any possible response.
"Using chemical weapons against innocent civilians is unacceptable. No regime can be allowed to do so with impunity," said. Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. "I expect the commander in chief would consult with Congress in the days ahead as he considers the options available to him. Drawing red lines before you know what you are willing to do to back them up is folly, but now that American credibility is on the line, the president cannot fail to act decisively."
Kerry's comments indicate the U.S. is not waiting for a U.N. finding to proceed. He noted the team will likely not issue a finding on who was responsible for the strike.
At this stage, the U.S. is looking for international support from its allies before pursuing any particular course of action. Obama spoke over the weekend with the leaders of France and Great Britain. Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, though, is facing pressure to win approval from Parliament before proceeding with any military plan.
While the U.S. and its allies deliberate, the Navy has sent four warships into the eastern Mediterranean Sea. According to senior U.S. defense officials, the four Destroyers are in position and would be capable of launching a missile strike at a moment's notice.
Onboard each ship are up to roughly 90 Tomahawk missiles. U.S. military officials said the Pentagon is in a "watch-and-wait mode," and the decision rests with Obama. One official suggested it is unlikely the U.S. will launch any strike while U.N. inspectors remain on the ground, for fear they could be taken hostage.

1) Texas Original BBQ (on 14th) is gone. A new sign proclaims "Chef Willie's BBQ and Fish" but the windows are all papered up.
2) There's a "JJ's Fish" place at 14th and Jefferson. Lots of fried food, not just fish. Looked okay. No takeout menus.
3) Two places I have *never* seen before at 15th and Jefferson, just on the other side of the state building: Aji's (something) and Annie's Cafe. Looks like they've both been there a while. The first has some decently priced Japanese options (like teriyaki/rice/salad for $5), and was packed at 11:45. It also had some limited Filipino options, I think. The second is a plain sandwich shop, didn't look too closely. Both have been there for a while, I just never go so far west.
4) M&O fried chicken (17th+Telegraph) has been open for a while now. $4 sandwiches, today's special was a "malaysian fried chicken".
5) Chef Edwards (my destination after finding Texas was closed) was still open, original location. I asked, and they're closing Nov 19th and reopening just across the street -- not at 16th and Clay -- Dec 15th. | <urn:uuid:bb134502-20a2-45cf-9af8-71cea214118e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.chowhound.com/post/jefferson-st-chef-edwards-update-downtown-oakland-40797 | 2020-09-18T07:53:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400187354.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918061627-20200918091627-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.97911 | 283 |

I am outlining the workflow of a genuinely custom website – one that is built from scratch from the ground floor up.
Each project is as unique as the person building the business, so there are some variables but the similarities are what I am going to focus on. This is my personal workflow – the process I go through with my clients.
When I am first meeting with the client, I find out:
- What specific goal are they wanting their website to do? Marketing, informational, e-commerce…
- What target market are they going after? People over 50, women-owned businesses, young mothers, etc. The more detailed the better.
- Why would a visitor want to buy what they are selling services or products? Find out how it will benefit your client and work with that.
- Are they established as a brick and mortar business – just starting out – or do they need to re-establish a website gone wrong?
- Who are their competitors – have they checked out their websites? If so what impression did they get. What do you think is lacking and what would make yours better?
Once I gather all this information – I then ask them to send me links of websites they love – it doesn’t have to be in their market, I just want to see their style and what type of graphical interface they are drawn to, always keeping in mind their target market.
The next step is to do a little research myself and come up with content architecture – that is the flow of the pages – navigation and how the website will be structured. After each task, I consult with the client and get their OK.
Designing – the Fun Part!
This is where I can become creative – this is my favorite part of the process. I then open up all images in Photoshop (image editor) size and compress them, so they look great but load quickly when online.
Pictures – graphics are a combination of what they have or what I can find or create. If the client doesn’t have any royalty-free pictures or very few, I will go out on websites buy the appropriate pictures. All pictures need to be royalty free. I also design the banner and interface using different fonts, images and colors. If the client already has a logo I design around that piece if they don’t have a logo I suggest they get one so important in branding your business. And yes I do design logos as well!
Once the static image is constructed – I upload it to a unique folder with the clients name on it – I will do three different interface designs so my clients will have a variety to pick from.
Dreamweaver is my tool of choice when putting together a website – I then go into Dreamweaver create 3 html pages and put one graphic on each page. This is where I send me client the links to the pages, so they can look at what has been created and decide what they like. Once my client decides which they want to go with - then the real work begins.
Each page of the website needs to have copy with keywords – those are words that a client would search online for your services or products. I will work with my clients to create great copy - search engine optimization is a major plus. Some people give me a basic idea and I totally write the copy – some people are great writers themselves and they write the copy. I will go over it and critique it. I want to make sure it sells the sizzle not the steak and makes visitors that come to their website want what they have.
Actual construction of the website consists of seven steps:
- Cut up the graphic into pieces to be put together using mark-up language
- Import them from Photoshop into the image folder of your website.
- Create the .xhtml page that will be the template for your website.
- Using CSS style sheets and other elements put the images back together as shown on the static pages.
- This will be the shell in which all your content and graphics will be displayed.
- Make sure the navigation is correct and all the links are set for the structure of the website.
- Take edited and approved copy/text and pictures starting with the home page put in the guts.
Once everything is built and tested it is then ready to launch into its permanent home – to go live. I will take everything that is built and transfer it to my client's host of choice – depending on who they decide to go with - I can set up emails and different elements you may need.
This is not the end of the story. While the website is being constructed, we have to consider the elements of Search Engine Optimization. How fast website loads – keywords in the title and pages are only the tip of the iceberg. We must also design the description meta-tag using proper phrases – make sure there is only one header using the (h1 tag) on each page, and the alt text for all pictures have the appropriate keywords.
You will also want to be able to analyze who the visitors are that come to your website. Google has a fantastic tool called Google Analytics – I suggest you use it. If you monitor your website you will be able to see what need to be changed and what is working.
After looking at all that goes into a custom built website it goes without saying, you will pay more for a custom built website. I personally do a per project amount, and my clients greatly benefit because with all the hours we put into building their business they would pay much more if we went hourly.
Now some businesses may decide they want to go with a pre-built template, or a customized interface. That is a perfectly viable solution the most important thing is to get your website up and running – and you need to start somewhere. Just make sure whatever you build that you put in the most crucial elements – like Search Engine Optimization elements. Your website does need to look professional in order for people to take your business seriously.

Best Post Workout Fuelon
Do you find yourself wondering what you should consume after your workout each day?
Whether you choose to do an endurance or strength-training workout, it is essential that you make post-workout nutrition a priority; the post-workout period is the time to optimize on your performance and it will influence your body’s recovery process.
4 Factors that Affect the Utility of Post-Workout Meals
- Training status
- Exercise duration
- Number of workouts per day
- Hydration status
Today we are going to share with some key nutrients to include post-workout as well as providing you with some meal and snack ideas.
Consuming carbohydrates after a workout provides muscular glycogen and accelerates protein synthesis. Choosing foods high in glycemic index has been seen to increase muscle mass significantly post-exercise as high-glycemic index foods are rapidly digested and available to the blood stream.1 Consuming high glycemic index meals has also been seen to extend sleep duration and sleep efficiency.
5 High Glycemic Index Foods
- Baked potato
- White bread
- White rice
The current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for healthy individuals is 0.8 g/kg/day. However, more research indicates that a protein intake of at least 1.4–1.6 g/kg/day is more suitable for individuals who want to optimize their training and performance levels.1
It is important to include a protein source with amino acids as they are the building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that consuming essential amino acids directly after working out improves protein synthesis.1There are 20 amino acids, with 11 non-essential that can be made by the body and 9 essential that our bodies cannot produce; therefore, we must then obtain these sources through whole-food or supplements.
6 Food Sources with Essential Amino Acids
Protein + Carbohydrates
Recent research has revealed the synergistic effect between carbohydrates and protein.
The combination of protein and carbohydrate post-workout may decrease rates of muscle protein breakdown (MPB) and increase rates of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) which can help your body shift to the building phase of protein balance.
6 Post-workout Snack Ideas
- Rise Bar (*Honey, used in our whey protein bars contains antioxidants that can prevent free radical damage and aid in muscle recovery!)
- Blueberry banana protein smoothie
- Rice cake with almond butter, banana, and hemp seeds
- Greek yogurt with strawberries and flax seeds
- Blueberry protein chia pudding
- Hard-boiled eggs with avocado and nutritional yeast
7 Post-workout Meal Ideas
- Vegan quinoa, sweet potato, and grilled tofu bowl
- Chicken and black bean burrito bowl
- Grilled salmon with brown rice, zucchini, and chickpeas
- Brown rice, tempeh, and broccoli Stir-Fry
- Tofu scramble with bell peppers, mushrooms, and potatoes
- Overnight protein berry banana oatmeal
- Baked potatoes with ground turkey and mixed vegetables
Exercise is an important component to living a healthy lifestyle, but making sure that you are pairing your exercise routine with proper nutrition is equally as important!
Remember to prioritize protein and also add in some carbohydrate sources to your post-workout snacks or meals!

Like many people, fall could be your favorite season of the year. After all, this is a time of warm, hearty soups, breads, and stews, crackling logs in the fireplace, and cooler, milder temperatures. Given that frost, ice, and snow have yet to hit the ground in most areas, it’s additionally a time of relatively easy driving. Unfortunately, fall is also a season with a number of serious indoor air quality (IAQ) issues. Whether the interior of your Texas home is plagued with excessively dry, dusty air, or loaded with airborne contaminants, the following four tips are guaranteed to help.
1. Change Out Your HVAC Air Filter
The first step in mitigating many common fall-time IAQ issues is changing your HVAC air filter. If your HVAC system is used on a daily basis, filter changes should be done once each month. During fall, you may even want to start using an air filter that’s rated for capturing and collecting a greater number of airborne contaminants and particulates. Air filters are given minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) ratings of one to 16. Filters rated above 13 are typically reserved for hospital settings, medical labs, and other similar environments. Choosing an option with a rating of 10 to 12 will ensure that the maximum amount of allergens and contaminants are being picked up and retained.
Air filter performance is especially important during the months of fall and winter. Throughout these seasons, people are spending far more time in the home and with all windows and doors sealed shut. Air filters should be able to capture dirt, dust, pet dander, pollen, and any other organic particulates that get tracked into the home. They should also be able to collect residues from any cleaning agents and other sanitizing or deodorizing products that are being distributed throughout the closed space.
2. Schedule Fall HVAC Tune-Up Service
There are many benefits to having your HVAC system tuned up during the fall. Your heating and cooling equipment will work reliably and far more efficiently. It’s important to note that fall isn’t always a progressively cooler season. Temperatures can toggle between moderately cool and moderately warm. As such, you may need your air conditioner on some days and your heater on others. Both should be in good working order.
When it comes to protecting your IAQ, the functionality and performance of your HVAC system definitely matter. This equipment doesn’t just regulate temperatures. It also helps filter or purify the indoor air and regulate humidity. Although the indoor air is often drier in Texas homes during the fall, more indoor cooking and constant indoor entertaining can also lead to dramatic increases in humidity. With a tune-up, you can make sure that your HVAC system is able to extract excess humidity as needed so that common, fall-time woes like mold spore development don’t occur.
3. Take It Easy With Your Fireplace
Who doesn’t enjoy the relaxing, crackling, and popping sounds of a real wood fire? Although building a fire in your fireplace is a sure way to create a cozy ambiance in your home, it’s also guaranteed to drop your IAQ significantly. This remains true even if you’ve recently had your flue cleaned and have burned a few creosote-clearing logs. If you have to have a real wood fire, consider setting up a fire pit in your backyard. Replace your indoor wood-burning fireplace with a gas-fired model. There are many gas-fired options with natural-looking logs. In fact, some even make the distinctive snapping and popping sounds of actual burning wood.
It’s also a good idea to limit the number of candles you burn indoors during a season in which windows and doors are typically sealed shut. Like real wood fireplaces, candles are great at creating a desirable ambiance, but they additionally diminish a home’s IAQ. Look for flameless, battery-powered candles instead. In addition to having a convincing look, flameless candles aren’t a fire hazard.
4. Consider Investing in IAQ Services and Equipment
If you have someone living in your home with a chronic respiratory condition or if your air quality is consistently low, consider having a whole-house air purifier installed. This unit will effectively supplement the work that your HVAC air filter does. To combat dry air, consider the benefits of a humidifier. Regulating humidity will create cleaner and more comfortable living conditions. It can additionally prevent problems like condensation at the windows, moldy and mildewed carpeting and drapes, and many other moisture-related damages throughout the building.
Every home has its own unique air quality concerns, especially during the months of fall. At Texas Air Authorities, we offer a comprehensive range of heating and air conditioning services to residents of the greater Arlington, TX, area. We also provide air purification services, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and advanced air filtration equipment. Call us today to schedule a consultation appointment.

Gin lovers - right this way! We've teamed up with the Gin Lounge to bring you a huge, gin festival!
It will take place at the Upper Campfield Market, a Grade II listed, former Victorian market hall is a Mancunian icon with its magnificent glass and wrought iron roof – this impressive building will be opened especially for MFDF and completely filled with gin brands!
As the gin boom continues, the number of distilleries producing this quintessentially British spirit is still soaring - with plenty that is ‘home grown’ here in Manchester. Taking place on Friday 28th - Saturday 29th September, Upper Campfield Market will be transformed into an extraordinary Mancunian Kingdom of Gin (a ‘gindom’ if you will) with dozens of gin brands sampling some of the best, most exciting and bespoke gins around. Attendees can sip their way around the festival, trying spectacular gins, enjoying gin cocktails and learning about the botanical spirit at this brand-new festival dedicated to the nation’s favourite tipple.
There are four sessions across the three days. Tickets to these sessions include entry to the festival, a programme, a commemorative glass, gin sampling from dozens of distilleries, plus entry to gin masterclasses and workshops.
Visitors to the event will be armed with a tasting glass, with which they will be able to taste their way around all of the gins on offer direct from some of the best gin brands in the world. This is a chance to talk to the exhibitors and explore the different gin styles, flavours and production methods face to face with the experts. All the gins sampled will be available to buy from the festival shop.
Exhibitors at the MFDF Gin Fest include Bathtub Gin, Lakes Gin, Unicorn Tears Gin Liqueur and Whittaker’s London Dry Gin – with many more to be announced over the coming weeks.
The Gin Lounge is all about educating through fun, interactive and engaging events.
The festival programme includes a range of events, masterclasses and workshops to teach visitors about gin – from its botanical beginnings to the perfect mixers and garnishes. Festival-goers can learn from the experts at ‘Meet the Maker’ events for example, hosted by master distillers Desmond Payne MBE (Beefeater) and Charles Maxwell (Thames Distillery).
Visitors can also become a cocktail mixing pro at mixology masterclasses, or if you’d like to leave the mixing to the professionals, there will be exquisite gin cocktails served at the on-site cocktail bar.
There will even be the opportunity to create your own, bespoke gin at special workshops, where visitors can choose the botanicals and flavourings to craft their very own, one of a kind, perfect gin.
Cocktail lover, seasoned gin connoisseur or total newbie, there’s something for everyone at the MFDF Gin Lounge. | <urn:uuid:b51457ed-6b97-4ec0-87a4-ec4343b873b7> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://manchesterfoodanddrinkfestival.nutickets.com/52821 | 2018-10-22T19:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583515375.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022180558-20181022202058-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.932547 | 615 |

Behold Tradinno! The fiercest beast ever created with PTC Creo! I’m calling that right now.
At 50-feet long and 30-feet tall, this fire-breathing robotic dragon, sometimes called “Fanny,” weighs 11 tons and holds 8 liters of (fake) blood in its veins. Guinness Book of World Records says the mechatronic wonder is the biggest walking robot in the world.
It moves on four scaly legs, and also has its own vehicle for longer trips. On its website, creators at Zollner Elektronik write:
“The walking robot was equipped with bidirectional wireless data transmission via four control units that were developed in-house. The same method is used with the all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering 2.0-liter turbo diesel transport vehicle with deadweight of 4.3 tons, used for transporting the 11.0-ton robot. The radio remote control unit uses bidirectional control in the four modes front-axle steering, rear-axle steering, articulated loader steering or crab steering.”
The elaborate robot was created as a stage prop for a 500-year-old German folk play called Drachenstich.
If you’ve ever thought about building a massive fire-breathing dragon, you probably already know the design challenges: durability, endurance, large assembly management, routing cabling and veins, manufacturability, avoiding expensive prototyping, simulation and analysis, etc.
Behold! PTC Creo helped with all of that! In fact, watch closely, and you’ll see us in Tradinno’s showcase video. | <urn:uuid:8f65dbda-147d-4ce0-9393-ad9be8f6c631> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://creo.ptc.com/2013/09/24/behold-tradinno/ | 2014-08-30T14:10:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500835488.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021355-00232-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939863 | 354 |
Two years ago I wrote about the shortlived revival of Rhumbarallas cafe on Brunswick St. Another former venue, Esco, has now been reborn as the Esco art bar on Brunswick St. It was formerly the Planet cafe, then Esco, then Zombar, then Mirrors, then Mirrors with some illegal construction undertaken out the back in an attempt to make a beer garden, then a Turkish restaurant with all the atmosphere of a carpark.
This is an address I referred to previously in a post about why it is that some spaces simply don’t seem to work. Freshly painted in white, with colourful art on the walls, this space now looks bright and inviting, and when I walked past on Sunday people were entering and eating.

More blocks on the back:
Leslie got to choose the block for June in Block Swap 2 and chose the disappearing nine-patch. This is on its way to her in Nebraska (fabric: Oz by Senae--the colors are awesome).
My contribution to the Modify Tradition quilt swap 2010 is on its way to...... Oh, wait. I can't divulge that. It's still a surprise.
There is now a label on the back, but I snapped the picture before I sewed the label on. You know: shhhhhhh.
*sigh* I love mail. | <urn:uuid:86f3191a-1ab1-4b68-a006-b64916a7f418> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.liveacolorfullife.net/2010/06/youve-got-mail.html | 2021-10-24T05:33:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585911.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024050128-20211024080128-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.947978 | 171 |
Imagine Kelsey Grammer as the next resident of Gracie Mansion.
The “Frasier” star — a longtime conservative Republican — now says he plans to run for office, perhaps right here in New York, when he gives up acting.
“I have had a great career and extraordinary opportunities,” he told The Post. “But I look at my political aspirations as that last piece of my life — where I hope to do something good for people and pay back a little.”
The leap from actor to politician isn’t that great, the actor believes. Both, he says, require a “narcissistic personality” to succeed.
“You certainly have to have a resilient ego,” Grammer says.
Grammer — who left the Broadway revival of “La Cage Aux Folles” last February — is set to play fictional Chicago Mayor Tom Kane in a new drama called “Boss,” set to premiere this fall on the Starz network.
And the prospect of the new role has, it seems, got him thinking about doing something like it in real life.
Grammer is not only one of Hollywood’s rare anti-tax, small-government Republicans, but he is an activist. Unlike a lot of actors who like to give their opinions on issues, he campaigns for and travels with candidates he likes — and he is a big-time giver to conservative causes.
In the last presidential election, he endorsed Rudy Giuliani but ended up going on the road for Sen. John McCain.
He is also the major bankroll behind a small cable channel called Rightnetwork that launched last September and goes by the slogan “All that’s Right with the world.”
“It is not unfamiliar for me to have a point of view that might be considered out of the norm in my community,” he says.
Grammer, 56, is light on specifics about when his days as an actor might end or which office he has his eye set on.
But he is clear that he has moved from LA permanently and is a New Yorker now. If and when he runs, it would likely be here, he says.
What is left unspoken is the considerable money — mostly from the reruns of “Frasier” — he could pour into an election, if he chose to.
While not in the same league as New York’s current mayor, multi-billionaire Mike Bloomberg, Grammer’s personal-wealth reportedly ranges up to nearly $100 million — a good sum with which to start a political career.
Already this week, he is taking a side on the debt-ceiling crisis.
“Even the solution they are talking about now — the 10-year, $3-trillion solution — that has to be paid for. Nobody is talking about actually getting rid of the debt that exists already,” he says. “That doesn’t make any sense. It’s first-grade math.”
Grammer says he began to mull the prospect of changing his life after suffering a minor heart-
attack three years ago.
“I spent several months sort of looking at my own life,” he says. “And I just decided I didn’t want to have [“Hank,” the ill-fated sitcom he starred in last year for Fox] be my last story.
“So, I decided that it was time to make changes that involved my career, as well as my personal life. Doing a drama started to make really good sense, because it took me back to my roots.” | <urn:uuid:3250baad-2219-4615-b158-eaac4d3b1fd8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://nypost.com/2011/08/01/kelsey-grammer-may-run-for-office-in-new-york/ | 2020-08-14T21:07:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739370.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814190500-20200814220500-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.975439 | 779 |

ComBIT Africa 2009
3-4 November 2009
the Lagoon Conference Centre, Lagos, Nigeria
To download the presentations from this conference please click here: http://aitec.usp.net
ComBIT Africa has it roots in Nigeria’s burgeoning telecommunications sector, having been the showcase for the industry since it was launched by ATCON 14 years ago (previously called NICOMM and changed to ComBIT in 2008). The event has grown to be the country’s premier ICT event. In light of Nigeria’s leading regional role and to the era of rapid convergence, the event has been expanded to be Africa-wide in perspective, as well as covering the full spectum of ICT technologies and strategies. It is ATCON’s mission to develop the event as the continent’s premier ICT industry event. To achieve this goal, the Association has appointed AITEC Africa, the continent’s leading organiser of ICT events, to manage the event and promote it across the continent and internationally as part of its extensive programme of exhibitions and conferences.
ComBIT has in previous years attracted extensive international participation from countries as far afield as UK, USA, Hong Kong, China, India, Israel, Korea, Dubai, Taiwan, Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Malaysia and Lebanon, as well as numerous African countries. This widespread attendance is expected to expand even further in 2009.
ComBIT is designed to facilitate the establishment and sustenance of highly rewarding commercial partnerships between foreign investors or technology providers and local representatives, dealers, distributors as well as resellers in Nigeria. It provides a cost-effective platform for Nigerian ICT products and service providers to enhance their industry and public profiles through their active participation in this pan-industry and pan-African event.
The timing of this event in the last quarter of the year is to enable corporate customers decide on the latest ICT solutions to procure in the coming year and make adequate budgetary provision for the required solutions
The event’s aims include:
• To showcase vibrant and reliable ICT solution providers in Nigeria, Africa and leading nations of the world offering the latest and reliable technologies, systems and services in the global information and communications technology market.
• To expose the abundant investment opportunities in the Nigerian and African ICT sector with the aim of attracting more local and foreign direct investment into the sector.
• To create opportunities for establishing strategic alliances and partnerships amongst local and foreign investors for the purpose of expanding the ICT infrastructure and services in Nigeria and Africa.
• To afford corporate and individual consumers of ICT products and services ample opportunity to meet with leading and credible product and service providers in order to enhance their decision on the type of systems or services to procure for their various needs.
• To further position Nigeria and Africa as one of the largest and fastest growing ICT markets in the world, as well as a viable investment destination. | <urn:uuid:6c0fece8-7440-4761-b987-18ef65f3fc7f> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://aitecafrica.com/event/view/48?symfony=c3bcf8ab5b83d3dece53db712c35ca1f | 2013-12-08T12:57:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163065688/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131745-00031-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941143 | 601 |
February 11, 2011 > 2011 Boy Scouts of America Friends of Scouting Dinner
2011 Boy Scouts of America Friends of Scouting Dinner
Submitted By Celeste Hornberger
It has been said that if every boy in America knew and observed the Boy Scout Oath, we could do away with most of the jails and prisons in this country. Although no longer a boy, Alan L. Olsen, Managing Partner of Bay Area CPA firm Greenstein, Rogoff, Olsen & Co., continues to live the Oath and is chairing a $1M fundraising event for the San Francisco Bay Area Council's Friends of Scouting on February 17, 2011.
Friends of Scouting provides roughly one-quarter of the money needed to operate the San Francisco Bay Area Council's Scouting camps, programs and facilities for a calendar year. These camping and training facilities are the "outdoor classrooms" in which Scouts have fun, learn leadership skills and develop into better young men. All funds raised on February 17 will assist the Boy Scout Council in its efforts to serve almost 20,000 youth, of whom many hundreds are deemed to be "at-risk," during the year.
The event, held at the Oakland Marriott City Center Hotel, will feature dynamic speakers and community leaders: Chairman and CEO of KOA Kampgrounds of America, Inc., Jim Rogers; NBA All-Star and Two- time Defensive Player of the Year, Mark Eaton; and Rotary International President (2001-2002), Richard King.
This is a great opportunity for local businesses and individuals to become involved in our communities.
"More than anything, what our country, communities and families need right now are everyday folks who can rise above their own circumstances to give back to the community. In doing so, they become true leaders - and that's exactly what we need right now," notes Olsen.
Sponsorships of varying levels are still available for the dinner.

Recently, at a community meeting I attended at Robina clinic in Tonkolili district, Sierra Leone, facilitators asked a group of young women to rate the quality of health service delivery using what they coined the “mango test.” As part of this “test” community members decide how many hypothetical mangos, on a scale from 0 to 5, they would give a nurse as thanks for the quality of her care. The group fell into deep discussion. One young woman holding a child explained that she would give the nurse two mangos even though she has never actually found a nurse at the clinic (the nurse was absent for over five months in 2011). She reasoned that the nurse likely felt excluded being an outsider from a distant community, and she would not want to discourage her and trigger further absenteeism or, even worse, the nurse’s resignation or ire the next time the mother comes to the clinic.
As an American who grew up in a culture where fiercely and loudly complaining is the sine qua non of changing the system, I was surprised by this woman’s comment. And yet it held important insights for those of us working to promote social accountability (the engagement of citizens in fostering accountability). In particular, her comment illustrated the importance of understanding socio-cultural dynamics when working to strengthen accountability mechanisms in communities.
In Sierra Leone, where the government offers free health services to expecting and new mothers and children under five to reduce the country’s alarming mortality rates , challenges nevertheless remain. Civil society organizations have pointed to gaps in monitoring that leave clinics with absent nurses, insufficient drugs, and incorrectly imposed fees for free services. Part of the government and civil society’s solution has been to invest heavily in social accountability and engage citizens in monitoring service delivery and reporting gaps.
During my past year providing support to social accountability interventions in Sierra Leone’s health sector, I have seen how accountability efforts influence, and in turn are shaped by, the complex relationship between citizens and local state agents. Social accountability has sometimes encouraged a seemingly adversarial relationship between the “supply” and the “demand” sides of service delivery, modeled on a view of delivery as consisting of detached economic transactions that can be optimized by improving transparency and accountability. Citizens are often pitted against state agents to demand their rights and monitor service provider actions.
Yet this construct does not fit with the intensely local nature of much of government’s work, particularly in the health sector. A maternal child health clinic–the most basic primary health unit in Sierra Leone–may employ a single nurse to serve 15 surrounding villages with over 3500 residents. The nurse confronts a range of constraints to care, not the least of which are limited resources; this can make her 24-hour on-call job seem like a Herculean effort. If community members complain about the nurse, they risk alienating her and creating a further barrier to desperately needed care. Indeed, citizens may face high costs if their demand for improved service delivery offends the sole person equipped to provide such care.
Facilitators prepared to conduct community workshops like the one in Tonkolili district are well aware of this risk. As one woman role-played the part of the nurse, she warned community members in the Krio language, “if u feel say a geh bad way, u wait mek u cam meet me nex tem” (“if you are complaining that I have a bad attitude now, just wait until the next time you visit”). Local community paralegal organizations, who have started taking up citizen grievances in the health sector , have reported similar challenges. For example, citizens who paid for free health care services have resisted filing formal complaints with administrative bodies for fear of alienating the health providers they may need to call upon for emergency care in the coming days, weeks, or months. With dramatic supply-side constraints, citizens often reason that their best option is to work together with clinic staff–outside formal reporting channels–to resolve issues.
Against this backdrop, how can we design effective social accountability programs to enhance service delivery? In four districts of Sierra Leone, the government of Sierra Leone, with World Bank support, is piloting an approach where community members partner with clinic staff to form a “social contract” to improve health. Guided by facilitators like those in Tonkolili, community members and clinic staff make mutual commitments to improve service delivery and health outcomes. In response to the issue of nurse absenteeism, the nurse might commit to keeping the clinic open during regular hours and notifying community members in advance if she must be away; meanwhile the community might commit to supporting the nurse by helping her collect water for the clinic and maintaining a vegetable garden for her use. Facilitators invest in understanding the specific problems (behavioral, relational, resource-related, or otherwise) undermining health care delivery in a particular community. They then help broker promises that both parties can keep in an effort to strengthen the relationships and accountability structures in the community. Through this approach, reporting through administrative channels or other formal legal action become tools of next resort for serious rights-infringements or when community-centered solutions fail.
The government is evaluating the results of the pilot through a randomized controlled trial, and the Justice for the Poor (J4P) program is conducting supplemental qualitative research to help understand the dynamics of change. The hope is to better understand how to effectively and sustainably improve health service delivery and strengthen the citizen-state relationship. | <urn:uuid:f5a7658d-8700-43d4-88ef-9c258a419352> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://blogs.worldbank.org/governance/print/peeling-the-mango-community-dynamics-and-social-accountability-efforts-in-sierra-leone | 2016-05-03T21:18:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860121776.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161521-00079-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956117 | 1,132 |
While in the USA, Waan Booth - founder of Atelier Mayasura got into old furniture in a big way. Inspired by a friend who upholsters old and rare furniture with Jim Thompson fabrics, Waan and her husband Eric set off on an unusual hunt.
“We didn’t want to just buy furniture from a regular store because we wanted to find something with a soul, with a story to tell. To live among these kinds of pieces is much more interesting.”
When moving back to their hometown Bangkok, Thailand, the salvaged furniture moved with them. Two years before opening up the two-storey showroom, I visited Bangkok and photographed some of the pieces - A mix of Thai landmarks and American stories.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants will face Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg, the league's strikeouts leader, tonight without leadoff hitter Angel Pagan. Pagan sits for the second consecutive day with what manager Bruce Bochy called a lower leg contusion on his right leg. Pagan injured the leg sliding into home Saturday night and is still sore, but would be available off the bench if needed.
"Could we push him? Yeah," Bochy said. "But talking to the training staff and (trainer Dave Groeschner), he's better off getting the day off."
Gregor Blanco stepped up in Pagan's absence Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a season-high three RBIs in the Giants' win over the Mets, and gets another chance tonight leading off and playing center field. Here's the Giants' full lineup against Strasburg:
And the Nationals' lineup against Vogelsong:
On the injury front, Bochy said Brandon Belt took ground balls today, several days removed from having the pins taken out of his fractured left thumb. Belt will also take part Tuesday when reliever Santiago Casilla goes through pitcher fielding drills.
Casilla's schedule is to throw a bullpen session today and do the PFP drills Tuesday, and if all goes well he could start a rehab assignment in San Jose as early as Wednesday or Thursday, Bochy said.
Belt, meanwhile, is still two to three weeks away from a return. But Bochy said Belt has been encouraged by being able to do more with the pins removed.
Michael Morse was in demand in the clubhouse before tonight's game, with a group of Nationals writers waiting to catch up with Morse, who played in Washington from 2009-12 and had his best season there in 2011 with 31 home runs.
Morse said he still keeps in touch with several former teammates, including Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond, and that he greatly values the time he spent with the Nationals. "If it wasn't for playing there, I probably wouldn't be here," he said.
One reporter told Morse they only recently stopped playing "Take On Me" late in games at the Nationals' home stadium. Morse seemed a little bummed, but told the reporter he brought the song with him to San Francisco and it's "incredible. ... It's something I'll always have with the people of D.C. But it's to another level here."
Morse said watching the Nationals struggle last season and fail to make the playoffs was tough. His final game there was Game 5 of the NLDS in 2012, in which Washington lost a two-run lead in the ninth inning to the Cardinals -- which resulted in St. Louis playing the eventual champion Giants in the NLCS.
He struggled last year in the American League, but has been a revelation this season with the Giants, entering tonight with a team-high 42 RBIs and 13 homers. "When life gives you lemons," he said, "you make some great lemonade."
Tonight also marks Matt Williams' return to San Francisco for the first time as manager of the Nationals. Williams has come back before as an opposing player and coach, so the novelty of being the opposing manager doesn't add much for him, but he said returning to the city where he played from 1986-97 never gets old.
"This city's where I grew up as a baseball player," he said. "It's like home."
Williams said he went for a three-mile run Monday afternoon but didn't get recognized. "I had my little headband on and sunglasses," he said. "I was looking at my feet to make sure I didn't trip."
Right now he's helming arguably the hottest team in the National League outside of San Francisco -- the Nationals have won seven of their last nine games to pull within a three-way tie with the Braves and Marlins atop the N.L. East entering today. That's despite a handful of injuries to key players over the first two months, including Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman, who is in the lineup tonight at third base.
As for the day-to-day obligations of managing, such as dealing with the media, Williams said he's been pretty comfortable with them. "I've been on that side of the camera, too," he said, "so I understand that everybody's got a job to do, and that people want to know about your club. ... It's all part of the job. Going into it, you understand and expect it."
One interesting thing: Williams was asked what he would've thought if the Giants had floated the idea of one last game or series this year at soon-to-be-demolished Candlestick Park, with Williams' Nationals as the opponent. Williams, who of course played home games there while wearing orange and black, said it "would've been phenomenal."
"There's nothing like Candlestick," he said. "For those fans that came with their sleeping bags and parkas and their coolers, it was special. Certainly (AT&T Park) is I'm sure more comfortable to watch games and be a part of, but as a player I loved it. And everybody that played there loved it -- that was a Giant anyway."
No surprise to see Tyler Colvin in the Giants' lineup, even with Pagan sitting out. Colvin has faced Strasburg four times in his career. He's 3-for-4 with two home runs.
The Giants will be without bench coach Ron Wotus today and Tuesday. Wotus is away from the team following the death of his father-in-law, Bochy said, and is expected back Wednesday. | <urn:uuid:56bf8b34-497f-427f-b558-645e26c69582> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.sacbee.com/2014/06/09/6470692/pagan-leg-sits-as-giants-face.html | 2014-09-17T21:13:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657124356.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011204-00201-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983558 | 1,169 |
"It's just a magnificent job again -- that's all you can say," manager Trey Hillman said. "Just outstanding."
Greinke received all the runs he needed early. Mark Teahen belted a two-run homer off Tigers rookie Rick Porcello in the first inning, a drive into the left-field bullpen.
An unlikely basher, Alberto Callaspo, led off the second inning with a drive into the right-field Party Porch. It was the first home run of his Major League career after 441 at-bats (484 plate appearances), the longest such drought by any active player.
"I don't know, I was just lucky," Callaspo said. "I feel great, I was just fighting for a long time. Finally, I got it."
The Royals picked up two more runs in the fifth on a high throw past home plate by Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Coco Crisp knocked in the sixth run in the seventh.
It was Greinke, though, who was the darling of the jam-packed ballpark. The atmosphere was electric.
"It was incredible -- I don't know why there were so many people here tonight," he said.
Greinke knew about the popular fireworks draw but also thought there must have been some sort of giveaway. Nope, although it was Buck Night. Perhaps, it was suggested, many of the fans came just to see him pitch.
"That's probably not the case -- I hope it's not the case to tell the truth," Greinke said.
Well, he's too modest. This guy is on top of the American League in wins, strikeouts and ERA. That's pitching's Triple Crown.
And Greinke is a fine fielder, too, as he showed by almost stopping that one Tigers run from scoring after shortstop Mike Aviles' throwing error.
Gerald Laird led off the Tigers' fifth with a double to left field. Brandon Inge struck out, and Josh Anderson flied out to center field. Crisp threw to Aviles, whose relay struck Laird sliding into third base.
The ball bounced away, but Greinke, backing up third, made a quick retrieval as Laird trucked for home. Greinke's throw might have been in time, but the ball got out of catcher Miguel Olivo's mitt, and Laird slid in safely.
"I'm not sure what [umpire] Dana [DeMuth] would have called at the plate, but it was going to be a really close play if that ball hadn't gotten out of Miggy's mitt," Hillman said.
Olivo wasn't so sure.
"I tried to catch it and swing [for a tag], but I think he was past the plate," he said.
Greinke took it right in stride. His streak had included 24 innings this year and 14 at the end of last season.
"It happens, that's baseball," he said. "It's aggressive baserunning, aggressive fielding and it's just baseball. You can't predict anything. I got out of jams I shouldn't have got out of, and then they score on a ball that maybe they shouldn't have scored on. It evens out at the end."
Anyway, after the streak-busting run, Greinke walked back toward the mound with a big smile on his face.
"That was almost the best play of my entire life," he said, "but I didn't quite get it. That's what makes it exciting pitching out there -- doing stuff like that actually. And after that happened, I just got a big boost of energy."
Did he ever. Greinke mowed down the next 13 batters, making it 15 straight outs to finish the game. He went the distance at Texas last Saturday, too, so he became the first Royals pitcher to throw back-to-back complete games since, oddly enough, Jamey Wright during his first stint with the Royals in 2003.
"Mine was a loss and a win -- it wasn't two wins," Wright said, pointing out he lost to the Angels and then beat the Tigers.
He was out in the bullpen as Greinke closed in on his victory.
"I got up to throw in the ninth, and I threw one ball and I just sat there because I thought, 'I don't want to miss anything, I want to keep watching,' " Wright said.
It was something to watch.
"He dominated us," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "He looks like he's been pitching for 15 years. It took him some time, but he looks like a polished, veteran pitcher right now."
"It's fun to watch," Teahen said. "Maybe it was just the energy, but he looked unhittable. I'm just glad he's on our team."
Greinke deflected the credit, lavishing praise on pitching coach Bob McClure and Olivo, his catcher. Olivo appreciated it but returned the compliment.
"I think he's going to be a Cy Young pitcher someday," Olivo said. "I hope this year." | <urn:uuid:128bc3b8-6687-428d-9d8d-594e9fb59bf8> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://m.royals.mlb.com/news/article/4406874 | 2017-11-20T15:09:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00771.warc.gz | en | 0.989761 | 1,074 |
A Fine Line
Chains of Floane
Magic Chains that can greatly change Greenville
This set of ragged chains, looks like any other chains except for the symbol of the Caregiver etched on the centermost link, almost unrecognisable at a distance.
THis Chain is actualy very powerful. With it one can control the Floamotte(see wiki)and with it control the isles of Kenerkethia(see wiki.)
These chains belonged to Floanne one of Kenerkethias’ chief protectors and a devoted follower of the Caregiver. Floanne built the Floamotte,when the undead attacked Kenerkethias’. The Floamotte was able to hold the undead off for a month before finally, Floanne led a battalion of militia, clerics, and farmers (about 14 people in total.) into the heart of the undead army and bested the necromancer controlling the army. Before he left he gave Father Redd (Current High Priest of the Caregivers temple) a set of chains, with them someone could reactivate the power of the Floamotte and henceforth command the greatest power in Kenerkethia. | <urn:uuid:dae3ba61-59cf-4ecb-b65d-b219bd83791a> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://a-fine-line.obsidianportal.com/items/chains-of-floane | 2017-07-27T18:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549429417.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727182552-20170727202552-00026.warc.gz | en | 0.891514 | 247 |

1. This is an appeal by a process-server of the court of the District Munsif of Dindigul who was convicted of forgery for the purpose of cheating and using as genuine a forged document and sentenced to six months' rigorous imprisonment under Sections 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code.
2. The document in question is the attakshi Ex. H purporting to have been signed by the two karnams, Sivagurunatha Pillai (Prosecution 5th witness) and Athinarayana Mudali (Prosecution 6th witness) certifying that the appellant was ill of fever and cholera in prosecution 5th witness's village and between 23rd and 30th November 1917 and that the two karnams had him treated with medicines. The body of the attakshi is in the appellant's writing. The evidence including the depositions of prosecution 5th and 6th witnesses clearly establishes that prosecution 5th and 6th witnesses did not sign the attakshi Ex. H, that the peon was not in prosecution 5th witness' village between the 23rd and 30th November 1917 and that he was not treated with medicines by prosecution 5th and 6th witnesses in that village. Seeing that the appellant has not adduced any evidence (except the worthless testimony of defence 2nd witness a ' resigned ' head constable who says appellant told him one day ten months before the witness gave evidence that appellant was suffering from fever) to establish that he suffered from cholera and fever between 23rd and 30th November 1917, it is a very fair inference that the whole story of his illness for just the one week's time that he overstayed the period allowed to him to return his process is all a myth. There can be no question that the attakshi Ex. H was prepared by the appellant with the false signatures of prosecution 5th and 6th witnesses in order to defraud the District Munsif into excusing his delay in returning processes and the absence of the appellant from duty between the 24th and 30th November 1917. The decisions in Empress of India v. Jiwanund I.L.R. (1882) A. 221 and Queen Empress v. Girdhari Lal I.L.R. (1886) A. 653 and other similar cases where false entries made to screen the accused from punishment for an offence already committed were held not to be offences are distinguishable and the soundness of those decisions is also doubtful, there being other decisions tending to support a contrary conclusion. See Queen Empress v. Sabapati I.L.R. (1888) M. 411 and Emperor v. Bash Behari Das I.L.R. (1908) C. 450.
3. The question whether the false signatures were placed in Ex. H also 'dishonestly' need not be considered as they were clearly placed in Ex. H 'fraudulently' according to the rule laid down by the majority of the Full Bench of this Court in Kotamraju Venkatarayadu v. Emperor I.L.R. (1905) M. 90 and hence Ex. H was a forgery intended to cheat the District Munsif and was used by the appellant as a genuine document.
4. We affirm the conviction and sentence and dismiss the appeal. | <urn:uuid:082f54f4-2489-4507-b4fa-57f9e1956a7c> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.legalcrystal.com/case/773814/re-kamatchinatha-pillai | 2017-05-23T10:05:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607593.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523083809-20170523103809-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.982415 | 694 |
Use It or Lose It: Inuit Language Week in Full Swing
Inuit and other indigenous people have long fought for the right to speak and be spoken to in their own languages. But the best way to ensure that that continues is by regular usage, Nunavut officials say.
“The Inuit Language is our own unique way of expressing ourselves and a wonderful reason to celebrate every day,” said James Arreak, Minister of Languages, in a statement.
“Nunavummiut have the right to use and be served in the official language of their choice from government offices,” said Nunavut Languages Commissioner Alexina Kublu.“The Official Languages Act and the Inuit Language Protection Act is only one aspect of the struggle to protect languages. The best way to ensure survival of a language is through regular use.”
They were kicking off Inuit Language Week, or Uqausirmut Quviasuutiqarniq, which goes from February 7–11 and includes a host of activities throughout the territory.
It’s an attempt to reverse a decline in the use of the Inuit language in Nunavut homes, the territory’s press release said. Over the past 10 years it has dropped from 60 percent to 53 percent, prompting the languages minister and commissioner to challenge Nunavummiut “to reverse this trend, not only during Uqausirmut Quviasuutiqarniq but everyday,” the press release said.
Various activities are promoting the use of the language, including an Inuit Language Standardization Symposium from February 8–11 hosted by the Inuit Uqausinginnik Taiguusiliuqtiit (Inuit Language Authority) in Iqaluit. In addition, schools have received packages outlining Inuit Language activities, and a set of language posters is being launched. There’s also a contest for Nunavut government employees to submit an Inuktitut Word of the Day and win prizes.

aka: Split Second Blade Spam
A character attacks with a rapid series of slashes or stabs, either with a bladed weapon or with natural claws. Taking the speed part Up to Eleven and into outright Super Speed territory results in the following two subtypes:
- Split-Second Blade Spam: Where the attacks are pseudo-simultaneous - the observer cannot tell that there are multiple slashes being executed.
- Simultaneous Blade Spam: Superficially the same as Split-Second Blade Spam from the observer's perspective, but explicitly being truly simultaneous.
Standard Blade Spam
- Gurren Lagann: Viral's Enki-series Gunmen have swords as their primary armament. Invokes this trope with two blades, then four, then literally takes the trope Up to Eleven with Viral's Tengen Toppa in Lagann-hen, armed with thirteen swords (and a kanabo) simultaneously. Bonus points for having split-second Blade Locks between spams.
- The Final Fantasy series give us Cloud Strife's Omnislash, Squall Leonhart's Renzokuken (specifically, the Lionheart Limit Break), Tidus' Slice & Dice and the much stronger Blitz Ace and Lightning's Army of One and Legion of One.
- A common Special Attack/Desperation Attack among sword/claw-wielding Fighting Game characters.
- This is a staple in RPGs, usually part of Dual Wielding and dubbed "Flurry". Examples to be found in Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age.
- This is the default mode of attack for high-level Weapon Masters (a warrior Prestige Class kit) in Dungeons & Dragons. Able to fight equally well with both hands and using the attack/round tables of a Bare-Fisted Monk, a level 16 Weapons Master gets 6 strikes per round (about 6 seconds) with a single weapon, 12 when Dual Wielding, and you do not want to get in her way when she's buffed with Haste.
- The Akisazame (Tiger Teeth/Sword Rain) sword technique in the Tales Series, which makes the user stab at the enemy repeatedly, then finish with a final strike that varies from user to user.
- Exalted: Extra Action charm + daiklave = lots of pain for someone.
- Link can use the stabbing version throughout the Super Smash Bros. series, and gains the slashing version in the form of his Triforce Slash in Brawl.
- Dante in Devil May Cry 3 has Million Stab (for Rebellion) and Million Slash (for Agni & Rudra) combos.
- The Pokémon move Fury Swipes is a claw-based variant of this.
- Ars Arcanum and its variants in the Kingdom Hearts series tend to be of this nature.
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has the Crissaegrim sword, which unleashes a flurry of around five strikes every time you swing it. It's not Split-Second as individual slashes are clearly animated and visible, and it's not fast enough to quite be Simultaneous. It is however fast enough to be the most damaging weapon in the game despite having nowhere near the highest attack power.
- Mitsuru's strong attack in Persona 3 has her deliver a slash, and then a rapid series of stabs from her one-handed sword. When she gets a critical hit, she does the same, except with a even longer rush of stabs that finishes with a kick to the nads that knocks the foe over. Noticeably contrasts with the main character's critical hit animation with the same weapon type - he only delivers three separate, powerful blows.
- Mega Man Zero 3 has the 1000 Slash EX Skill, where Zero stabs the opponent repeatedly with the Recoil Rod. After-images of each stab appear to add to the hit count, as a way to stand up to its name.
Split-Second Blade Spam
- Claymore has two techniques that are this, Windcutter and the Quicksword. When used properly, the Quicksword technique is so fast that its creator (Ilena) can block attacks "undetected"; that is, her arm moves at such a speed that it looks like any attack against her is hitting some kind of invisible barrier rather than her sword, which is being drawn, used, and sheathed so quickly that literally no motion is detected.
- Ginkaku Uneri from Katanagatari is an Iaijutsu Practitioner that can use his sword, Zantou Namakura, to strike five times a second.
- In BlazBlue, Taokaka can do this with her claws.
- Hiei's Curb-Stomp Battle with Seiryuu in YuYu Hakusho. He cut Seiryuu in 16 places so quickly that Kuwabara couldn't see it at all, Kurama saw it as a single attack, and even Yusuke only saw eight slashes.
- Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou is capable of Split Second Blade Spam, as shown in her Wound Sign "Inscribe Red Soul" and Scarred Soul "Soul Sculpture" spellcards.
- Fate of the Lyrical Nanoha franchise is capable of doing this with her Super Speed and Laser Blade. When she does it, the viewers will only see the aftermath of her slashes after she dashes past the target. Specific instances include her Speed Blitz against Numbers Cyborg Sette that left Sette's Battle Boomerangs in pieces, and her first attack on Huckebein's Deville that left him littered with slash wounds.
- The Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu secret move Kuzu-Ryuusen("Nine-headed Dragon") from Rurouni Kenshin, utilizing Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu's signature God-Speed to launch 8 slashes and one stab with such speed that the strikes appear to be simultaneous.
- Goemon from Lupin III does this all the damn time. If we're lucky, we get to see three or four slashes, but usually there's a dozen made from just drawing and sheathing his sword. The man knows how to make use of his Absurdly Sharp Blade.
- From Bleach we have Gin's bankai: Its a a sword that can extend from wakizashi-sized to an 8-mile sword with near hypersonic speed. Even one of his techniques is to extend and contract it in a stabbing fashion like a machine gun.
- Iaijutsu Practitioner Asbel from Tales of Graces does this for his Level 3 Mystic Arte/Blast Caliber. He first beats down the opponent before dashing forward and drawing his sword leading to multiple hits.
- Misa's Tsurugi technique from Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae has her performing a series of powerful, lightning-fast katana slashes.
Simultaneous Blade Spam
- Two examples from the Fate/stay night franchise:
- Tsubame Gaeshi, signature technique of the 5th Grail War's Assassin; three slashes whose combined angles of attack explicitly block off any attempt at evasion. And Assassin gained it because he so relentlessly persevered in his countless attempts to devise a technique to kill a swallow while in flight, that reality basically gave in and granted him partial access to the "Second Magic", which is described as "multi-dimension refraction phenomenon".
- Nine Lives (Japanese gloss: "Shooting Hundred Heads"), a Noble Phantasm of the 5th Grail War's Berserker (a.k.a. Herakles); the actual NP itself, derived from Herakles' feat of defeating the many-headed, nigh-immortal Hydra with his bow and arrows. It was never used by Berserker himself, but when Shirou in the Heaven's Feel route used Projection to adapt the NP for his own use, the resulting "Nine Lives Blade Works" was composed of eight simultaneous slashes from different directions in one instant, followed by a stab to the center, all done with Super Speed. And each strike was considered a lethal A-ranked blow to Black Berserker.
- In more recent iterations of The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII as well as Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Sephiroth seems to be able to strike his opponent several times with only a few tactically-placed slashes of his Masamune. In Kingdom Hearts II, he possesses a move called Flash, where he dashes past Sora; if you don't use the Reaction Command to block it, Sora eats about 7-9 slashes. In Dissidia, his slashes inflict upwards of four blows at a time (his Octoslash, in particular, hits eight times in spite of Sephy only swinging five times).
- The Toujin (Battle Blade) attack in Yaiba can do this, but with ethereal blades which distract the opponent.
- Digimon Frontier has Korikakumon, whose Avalanche Axes attack deals out many consecutive slashes, but the hits all connect at once.
- In Soul Eater, Mifune can do this with his "infinite sword style" moves. Not only can he trap his opponent by pinning them down with some of his many swords but he can make each sword strike multiple times by making them vibrate.
- Erza from Fairy Tail can do this with her exquip primarily with her heaven wheel armor.
- In Nurarihyon No Mago there is bad guy Kidomaru, who trained his swordsmanship to produce techniques that got faster and faster until the number of strikes became impossible to block or evade (the fastest technique was aptly named 'Void' for being able to reduce its victims to nothing). It was stopped thanks to Kurotabo's ability to produce the instant variant of this trope, using the infinite weapons inside of his robes as a wall to parry and catch Kidomaru's own two blades. | <urn:uuid:2559ba20-0339-45aa-b660-b1a86377466d> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BladeSpam?from=Main.SplitSecondBladeSpam | 2015-10-04T16:38:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736675218.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215755-00140-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941173 | 2,074 |
I've taken hundreds of pictures on this front porch over the last six years.
But the healing didn't take place on earth rather it took place in heaven and I was left with the decision what to do.
I chose to continue with the plans we made to sell.
So the pictures from this porch are coming to an end. I look at my house and all of the amazing memories that have been made. I can hear the laughter that has filled each room. I can picture Mel waking up in the middle of the night with our children. I can see him running and playing with Malachi and Hannah. I picture him throwing them up in the air in the backyard and giving them piggy back and shoulder rides up the stairs before bed. I see him staying up late doing his homework after a long day of work because he wanted me to be able and be a stay at home mom.
And I see the painful memories. The nights he slept on the rocking chair because he was in so much pain. The room where I was working when I received the call from him that the cancer had returned. The nights I slept sandwiched between two children as Mel lay in a hospital bed. And the five months he was confined to a bed paralyzed.
Moving is very bittersweet. It will be sad saying goodbye to this home. It hurts hat Mel isn't here as we move. But I know he would be happy seeing this take place. His prayer was that if he died, we would live. He prayed that we would move forward with life. He prayed that we wouldn't be consumed with sorrow. The memories of Mel will be with us always regardless of where we live.
I wasn't sure whether I would publicly share about our move but I felt that it was important for others grieving to read. Your decision may not involve selling your house, but when making the decision to live and to move forward after death you are doing a great thing.
I also wanted to encourage someone facing closed doors or pain in their life. God has not forgotten or abandoned you. For the last three years our life was on hold. Cancer and chemo dominated everything. We witnessed doors opening for others while our life was full of pain. But we determined that we would have an attitude of praise in the midst of the storm. There were times when negativity seeped in but for the most part we held on believing one day the storm would end. It did for Mel, although it wasn't the way I wanted it to end. After my husband died and I decided to sell the house, my prayer was that God would open the door for a higher paying job which He did. And that on His time my house would sell. My house was on the market for a few months and it wasn't selling but I wasn't getting anxious. I was having a house built and it would not be ready until November or December so I wasn't in a rush. My main prayer was that when it did sell, the amount I got from the sale of the home would be enough to cover the cash needed at closing and moving expenses for the new house. A few weeks ago someone put an offer on my house. I didn't want to go from house to apartment to house so I asked the builder if they had any move-in ready homes. That same week a military family who was having a house built got orders to move out of state so they could no longer close on their new home. The house I was building was in San Antonio and this new home in Converse but when you work from home and home-school as long as there is a Target nearby that is all that matters. The house was the same floor plan of the one I was building and would be ready at the same time my current house would close. It also had more upgrades but the cost was the same. Closed doors do not mean that God isn't working and that He is not in control. There is often a purpose behind a closed door. | <urn:uuid:8a3f77f0-07c9-4dac-80c8-81398944d959> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://kimberlilira.blogspot.com/2017/09/saying-good-bye-to-my-home_21.html | 2019-06-24T12:31:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999482.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624104413-20190624130413-00417.warc.gz | en | 0.993286 | 813 |

In the Resources section’s Bible study links I listed some free software for folks running Windows. I really enjoyed using e-Sword and I’ve been searching a year for something like it for the Mac. Last night I discovered that you can install e-Sword on a Mac…if you install something else first. That something else costs money.
But then I found MacSword, which has been re-named to Eloquent Bible Study (personally, I like the name MacSword better). It’s free, installs easily and there are lots of free modules (Bibles, commentaries, etc) you can download into it (which is easy, easier, in fact, than adding modules to e-Sword used to be when I was using it on my Windows machines before I switched; don’t know if it’s changed). You can also get PocketSword for your iOS device. Adding modules couldn’t be easier. Get it at iTunes.

There’s options for everyone — those who like to drink and chill with their friends, and those who want to party late into the night at the hottest night clubs! There’s even family-friendly night life activities that everyone can enjoy with the kids! Après Ski at Mont Tremblant is something not to be missed.
Snowshoe and Fondue Tour
Perhaps after a day of fresh air on the slopes you’re still not ready to turn in for the night. The snow continues to call your name, and you simply cannot get enough of the mountainside. Never fear, there’s an après ski option available that is just perfect for you. The Snowshoe and Fondue Tour is an adventurous dining excursion that allows you to snowshoe from the summit to a cozy shelter where you will enjoy a fondue meal. Imagine leisurely dipping your fondue while you sit next to a warm, relaxing fire inside a quaint log cabin. When you have finished your delicious meal, you complete your snowshoe adventure in the moonlight. Headlamps and guiding services are included as part of this tour, so you’ll be safe and sound the entire way.
Microbrasserie La Diable
It’s possible that the only thing that will satiate you after skiing is a hearty craft beer and a filling meal with your favorite friends on the trip. This restaurant specializes in its craft beer selection, all of which are made on-site. The Diable, of course, is the most popular ale at the brewery, but many skiers often take delight in sipping on a Blizzard beer, which is a Belgian ale available at this restaurant. The indoor seating area allows you to feel right at home, as you sit on wood tables and chat with your friends while admiring the brewery equipment that is located inside.
Sliding evenings are one of the most popular family-friendly night-time attractions in Mont Tremblant. Families of all shapes and sizes can enjoy mountainside tubing at the base of the mountain, all under the light of moon. You’ll delight in seeing your children smiling and laughing as they glide along the snow in a large tube. The best part is, if you are staying on-location at the resort, this activity is completely free! Now that’s something any family can celebrate.
Cafe d’Epoque Night Club
Truly, the best way to experience the night life in Mont Tremblant is to head to the hottest night club in the city. Ditch your ski suits and put away your poles for the night, and get dressed in your finest cocktail attire. This is a multi-level bar that provides each party-goer with a unique and captivating experience. There’s dancing cages and dancing on the bar. Forget all your worries as you party like it’s never going to go out of style. Looking to live on the edge? Order one of their exotic flaming cocktails and request the song of the moment. At Cafe d’Epoque, you get to be whoever you want to be for the night.
There’s so much to do in Mont Tremblant once the sun sets and the slopes close for the night. When you aren’t riding the lift to your next challenging hill, you can focus on having fun, relaxing and making memories that will last for long after you leave this amazing ski resort community. Find out more information about the different activities that will be planned for your trip! We’ll keep you posted on the latest events that are happening in Mont Tremblant and throughout the community.

Rhode Island Board of Nursing Review – March 17, 2017
Reviewed by Sedation Certification – March 25, 2021
State Sedation Policy – None*
For questions contact the State Board of Nursing.
*No direct guidance is offered by the State Board of Nursing regarding the administration of moderate or deep sedation by Registered Nurses within the state of Rhode Island.
See below for guidance on Anesthetic Agents in emergency situations.
Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education Policy Statement
Scope of Practice Guide to the Administration of Anesthetic Agents by Registered Nurses
The RI Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education is periodically asked for guidance regarding scope of practice issues on a wide variety of topics. It is generally expected that these
questions be answered using the published documents available on the Department of Health/Nursing website. Those documents include, but may not be limited to, the Nurse Practice Act, Nursing Regulations and a decision tree provided to help guide answers to scope of practice questions. There are rare occasions when a topic is complex and continues to pose practice questions despite reference to those tools. The practice of nurses administering medications classified as anesthetic agents by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has come before the Board on a number of occasions, from multiple diverse sources. The Board is therefore providing this guidance statement to clarify some of the scope of practice issues that surround this practice.
The RI Board finds that for emergency situations and in licensed, hospital-based emergency departments, it is within the scope of practice for registered nurses to act as the physician’s “third hand” and administer anesthetic agents, in the presence of and under the direction of, a physician or other provider who is properly credentialed in the use of these medications as well as resuscitation and emergency airway management. The term “third hand” assumes the physician ordering the medication is present at the bedside and unable to perform the administration of the medications him/herself due to the circumstances of the environment and/or situation.
Anesthetic agents may also be administered by the registered nurse for relief of refractory symptoms in the patient receiving hospice/end of life care (not including palliative care). Local anesthetic agents may be used for topical, intraosseous, and intramuscular routes when ordered by a physician or APRN/PA for the relief of discomfort from painful injections.
It is within the scope of nursing practice to manage the care of patients receiving IV sedation.
The RI of Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education expects:
– that administration of medications classified as anesthetics for the purpose of sedation and analgesia, in all circumstances, requires special attention;
– that the nurse shall not have other responsibilities that compromise the ability to adequately monitor the patient;
– that the physical setting for safe administration is assessed;
– that a qualified airway specialist is immediately available;
– that the nurse may decline administration of the medication if it has been assessed as unsafe under the circumstances.

‘What Have you Done to Me’ by Boz Skaggs – Classic Hit or Miss
Look What You’ve Done to Me is a 1980 song recorded by Boz Scaggs, and composed by Scaggs and David Foster for the movie Urban Cowboy. It reached #14 on the U.S. pop charts in November.The song, reflecting on a broken romance (as depicted in Urban Cowboy), features the Eagles on background vocals and instrumentation. Two versions of the song were released. The most widely available version of the song (as released on Scaggs greatest hits compilations) places more emphasis on the Eagles’ background vocals, plus additional background vocal stylings by Scaggs towards the end of the song. The version as heard in the Urban Cowboy movie (as well as its soundtrack) replaces the Eagles’ vocals with a female chorus.According to comments made by both Scaggs and Foster on the television special (and subsequent DVD) “Hit Man: David Foster and Friends”, the song was written and recorded in one night after the studio called asking the duo to write a song for the scene, informing them the scene was to be filmed the following day, and the track needed to be on a courier plane the following morning.
Foster said that Scaggs wasn’t happy with any of the music he played that evening until the night was almost over. When Foster played the intro chords that became the trademark beginning of the song, Scaggs said, “That’s it.” | <urn:uuid:87b65119-0d44-471b-8df4-ba8ff90d0a13> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://wfgr.com/what-have-you-done-to-me-by-boz-skaggs-classic-hit-or-miss/ | 2017-04-30T15:40:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917125654.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031205-00481-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978835 | 323 |
Stingy Ramstein set to defend DODEA-Europe boys soccer championship
March 17, 2016
Simmering rivalries are set to heat up again as the 2016 DODEA-Europe boys soccer season kicks off this weekend.
The Friday-Saturday action is found mostly in Italy, where six teams across all three divisions will see action. A game apiece in England, Belgium and Germany round out the light opening-weekend schedule, just two months removed from the European championship tournament set for May 18-21 in the Kaiserslautern Military Community.
Division I The Ramstein Royals are on a streak of two straight Division I championships, but they might prefer to say they’re on a two-year streak of preventing the rest of Division I from winning those titles.
Ramstein has ratcheted up the defensive pressure over the course of its title reign, an effort that reached its apex in last year’s 1-0 victory over International School of Brussels. That shutout followed a regular season in which the Royals yielded just five goals across seven games, and a tournament run in which they were scored on just once.
Coach Dominik Ludes promises more of the same this spring, and he’s got the personnel to do it. On a roster with 13 returning players, including eight starters, Ludes singled out center back Antonio Oduber and midfielders Conner Ullian and Nick Meza — all 2015 first-team All-Europe selections — as keys to the Royals’ continued success.
But the teams that Ramstein has frustrated over the last two seasons are eager to shrug off the Royals’ oppressive reign.
ISB, the last team other than Ramstein to win a European title, figures to remain a key player in the large-school race under coach Philippe Kaisin. But the Raiders, aside from their impressive track record, will remain something of an enigma for much of the spring, playing just one game before spring break and avoiding a rematch with Ramstein until May 14, the final day of the regular season.
Kaiserslautern and Wiesbaden, both 2015 semifinalists, return experienced squads eager to capture the crown that has so far eluded them.
Junior striker Alexander Dexter, the reigning Stars and Stripes boys soccer Athlete of the Year, and seniors Ryan Rimmler and Shelton Carter top a Kaiserslautern squad that has been on the cusp of a championship breakthrough for the entirety of Ramstein’s title run. The Raiders lost to the Royals in the 2014 title game and were ousted by ISB in a rugged 2015 semifinal.
Wiesbaden packs a promising mix of youth and experience as it seeks to improve on last year’s fourth-place finish. Forward Asante Lattimore and midfielder Eric Arnold, both seniors, lead a Warrior roster featuring three freshmen and five sophomores among its 17 players.
While each of last year’s final four will be tough to supplant, Division I packs several teams with the potential to do exactly that.
Naples has nine seniors, including star forward Davide di Costanza, among its 14 returning players. A new Wildcat coaching staff, led by athletic director Dirk Lambertson, is determined to improve on last year’s early postseason exit.
Stuttgart returns established talent at several key positions, including defender Tyler Kearny, midfielder Daniel Bacskai and wing Judge Morgan, providing what coach Eugene Macadagum described as “leadership and chemistry.” The Panthers are coming off a strong 6-1 regular season a year ago and will draw motivation from the stinging 1-0 loss to ISB that ended their tournament run in the preliminary round last spring.
Lakenheath, Vicenza, Vilseck and SHAPE will look to scrape their way into contention after struggling in 2015.
Division II Last season was one of momentous change for DODEA-Europe’s middle-class soccer programs.
First, realignment cleared the crowded bracket of teams at both extremes, shuffling large schools like Naples to Division I and small ones like Baumholder to Division III.
Then, upstart contender Bahrain wrested the title from Marymount, ending a half-decade dynasty with a dramatic 5-4 shootout victory in the European title match.
The fallout from that upheaval now represents the new status quo in Division II. The streamlined field suggests opportunity for all, even as Bahrain and Marymount present a formidable pair of roadblocks.
The question, then, is what’s the next development?
Seasoned Division II contenders, such as AFNORTH and Black Forest Academy, hope to provide the answer. Both schools went undefeated in divisional play last regular season, and each followed that up with a solid run to the semifinal round. BFA is in particularly strong position for a resurgence, returning senior defensive specialist Jason Kragt among eight incumbent starters.
Meanwhile, mid-tier teams like Hohenfels, Aviano, American Overseas School of Rome and Bitburg will attempt to hammer their way into the tournament’s elimination rounds.
Hohenfels has a healthy 16 varsity players back from last year’s 6-2 squad, including standout forward Kiernan Blouin. Seniors Lorenzo King and Shawn McElwee headline a group of 10 returnees for a tight-knit Aviano group. Bitburg coach Sinan Yucel said the Barons enjoyed “a good turnout” this year, giving the small program more depth than it usually enjoys.
While those longstanding divisional hopefuls are ready another assault, threats also loom from the geographic fringes of Division II. Reigning Division III champion Florence moves up to test the titans of its new division, while Rota will try to extend its emerging DODEA-Europe athletic prowess to the soccer pitch.
Division III The small-school soccer ranks have thinned in the past year, revealing a 2016 field that returns just two of its four 2015 semifinalists.
Florence’s move up to Division II leaves the Division III championship vacant, and the closure of Menwith Hill removes a challenger from the chase. That leaves runner-up Sigonella, which boasts senior midfielder Dylan Van Wynsberghe among six returning varsity starters, and third-place Alconbury as the top incumbent contenders.
The Brussels Brigands, just weeks removed from a dramatic boys basketball championship, will look for a similar breakthrough on grass behind the same core group of athletes. Brothers Michael DeFazio and Dominick DeFazio, junior striker Tim Wilkinson and sophomore sweeper Callum Proulx provide what coach Chuck Drouillard calls a “solid base that we can build around.”
An almost entirely new roster will carry Baumholder’s playoff hopes, while Ansbach, which swapped spots with Florence in a small realignment earlier this school year, will try its luck at the small-school level after a winless 2015 at Division II. | <urn:uuid:c3b4ef90-3a28-4b2c-a66a-e4fed5a743a8> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.stripes.com/sports/stingy-ramstein-set-to-defend-dodea-europe-boys-soccer-championship-1.399677 | 2022-05-26T12:02:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662604794.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220526100301-20220526130301-00167.warc.gz | en | 0.933292 | 1,471 |
A year of the coronavirus has given rise to what police leaders nationwide call an alarming trend: bored, wayward teenagers pointing guns in people’s faces and carjacking them.
“We’re not giving them enough supervision. That really created a problem,” says Tim Hardy, the longtime director of the juvenile court in Yuma, Ariz., and president of the American Probation and Parole Association.
Victims have been left terrified and bewildered.
“I felt like my life was about to end,” says a 25-year-old who was driving through an affluent section of Washington at 1:30 a.m. before being halted by masked suspects standing directly in front of him in the road and pointing rifles. The gunmen forced him from his car and sped off, police say.
There are no nationwide statistics on carjacking, as many enforcement agencies lump the crime into more general robbery tallies. And not everyone is convinced the spikes go beyond select cities that are seeing a wave of carjackings.
But the Police Executive Research Forum, a Washington-based think tank that regularly consults with chiefs across the country, found that “with many schools closed for in-person education, school-aged youths with free time — some as young as 12-15 — are committing a large portion of the increase in carjackings.” | <urn:uuid:110e7904-e334-438b-97a4-0b386089c1fb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://ec2-13-52-0-112.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/2021/02/25/brutal-spike-in-carjackings-driven-by-teens-with-limited-school-and-supervision/ | 2024-02-22T10:00:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.970419 | 288 |
Speed message contradiction
By SAM BENGERsamb@gladstoneobserver.com.au
That's the message being spread by police in the lead up to Christmas, but according to the Motorcycle Riders' Association of Queensland (MRAQ) too much emphasis is being placed on speed.
MRAQ president Adrian Toscano said police resources were being directed towards speed detection, which only accounted for five percent of the total number of crashes in the state in 2002, while other areas received little or no investment by comparison.
However, Central Regional traffic co-ordinator inspector Dennis Smith said speed was a major factor on our roads.
"From 1999 to 2003, speed related accidents made up seven per cent of all crashes (in the Gladstone region), and over those years there has been a steady increase in speed-related crashes,'' Insp Smith said.
He said every kilometre over the speed limit increased the danger and risk of having an accident.
"Irrespective of the statistics we're saying one death is too many ? education but it's just one string to our bow, enforcement and deterents are just as important and effective,'' Insp Smith said. | <urn:uuid:371abd2d-b67c-46ed-adcf-fe4f0869de8b> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.gladstoneobserver.com.au/news/apn-speed-message/110103/ | 2018-03-20T05:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647299.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180320052712-20180320072712-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.964251 | 240 |
We haven’t yet gone through the US amicus curiae brief just filed by the federal government in the Knick case, but we have seen it and its bottom line is a suggestion to the Supreme Court that it vacate the lower court decision and eliminate from the law the requirement of having to first litigate takings claims in state court. This would eliminate the previous lower courts’ holdings that doing so amounts to the state court judgment becoming res judicata or issue preclusion, thus preventing the aggrieved property owners whose property has been taken without compensation from ever having their federal constitutional claims adjudicated in any court — state or federal.
This is a departure from the federal government’s usual pro-regulator position in these cases.
We can’t wait to see how the “police power hawks” will react to this development. Bottom line: the stakes of the Knick case have just gone up significantly. | <urn:uuid:b856d8f9-1d13-4a6e-a87f-7abce9a7068d> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://gideonstrumpet.info/2018/06/us-solicitor-generals-office-is-born-again/ | 2023-02-09T08:52:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764501555.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20230209081052-20230209111052-00553.warc.gz | en | 0.937769 | 194 |
How to align the floor? The basic method of leveling the floor with plywood – alignment on the sleepers. Before you begin, you must: complete all the rest of the walls and ceiling, disconnected from the premises; dry all the wood elements, clean all the garbage, to create the optimum climate conditions (> 8 degrees Celsius and the first thing we should do – fit the plywood under the premises. What are the pitfalls are, at this stage? "When you spread out sheets of plywood, pre raskroennye into squares, it is important not to forget free to leave 10 mm between the sheets of plywood and 15-20 mm at the wall (the sheets should fit snugly against the wall). It is also important not to allow the joint four stitches in one location and number the resulting lists. After that we proceed to saw cut the plywood. There are three important things: sawing must first across the grain, then along; better to reduce the size of the squares to about 60 cm (which has a positive impact on the ventilation rate, which determines life); check the status after the end of the cut – there are no bundles. You can then proceed to install lag (supporting wooden planks).
Once you have measured the level of equality with the "water level", should start installing themselves lags. The distance between them should be about 0.5 meters, and they must be laid across the light beams, or along the space (if it is a corridor). Uneven surfaces can be aligned with the bosses, scraps linoleum, and then fasten them with anchors (tentatively, of course, once convinced of the flatness of the resulting design). Then make additional hardwood floors, turning the floor into a kind of wooden lattice, which then trail plywood sheets. Impregnated plywood sheets should not touch each other. They are attached with screws to a wooden lattice, every 50-100 cm flat floor – Proud. Of course, to align the floor at his home by force is not for everybody, but nothing difficult in technical terms there. In addition, you can now intelligently monitor the work of your job, if you still decide that it would be more wisely – to attract professionals. Remember, flat surface – this is important, because with him you will live a long time. | <urn:uuid:ac37bff7-fe5e-4b80-9ff5-3efc505f2eeb> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://www.johnrogershomes.com/2012/06 | 2018-08-21T02:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221217909.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180821014427-20180821034427-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.939789 | 480 |

Rare images of flowers
In beauty, the creation of nature has no limits
The dionaea muscipula is arguably the most spectacular carnivorous plant. Its distribution is now limited to North Carolina, South Carolina and Quebec.
Aristolochia salvadorensis platensis:
Aristolochia salvadorensis platensis called « the Darth Vader flower » because its inflorescence resembles a Halloween mask or even Darth Vader’s helmet in the Star Wars saga. This tropical liana is very rare, it only exists in a few plains of central Brazil (its origin), with a short flowering.
Passifloraceae is a group that includes about 630 species, classified into 19 genera, of trees, shrubs and, mainly lianas (In Brazil there are only 4 genera. Only the genus Passiflora is present in the United States .). Passiflora are more common in tropical and temperate areas. The fruits of some species of the genus Passiflora are edible and known as « passion fruit ».
Orchidaceae are a large, diverse family of approximately 28,000 species, distributed across approximately 763 genera. The family comprises about 6-11% of all seed plants on earth. The largest genera are Bulbophyllum, Epidendrum, Dendrobium, and Pleurothallis. the majority of species are found in tropical regions; In these regions, many species of orchids, have disappeared or are threatened, this is mainly caused in the first place by deforestation. | <urn:uuid:b83ed3b2-4b07-4a1a-b46c-10f20cb1a5de> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://paintdigi.com/2020/12/07/rare-images-of-flowers/ | 2021-05-06T01:19:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988724.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210505234449-20210506024449-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.883716 | 338 |

Winter is hard. Few can argue against that. It’s cold. The sun barely shines. Shoveling starts. Delays commence. And cabin fever sets. But despite the numb fingers and all, we would like to give you hope and remind you that brighter days are ahead!
(Photo: Typical Chicago Winter - 2015)
Now, I don’t know about you, but when winter comes around I just tend to move slower – and we see the same mentality occur in the trade show industry. Sure, the main seasons for trade shows to occur are in early Spring and early Winter, but much planning for these shows occurs… well… now.
There are forms to fill out, documents to sign, invoices to pay, and more! We can’t allow our desire to remain sluggish take over! But when all you want to do is hibernate, how can you possibly keep up the momentum to plan for a show? Simply put, it’s the dedication that goes into a project that allows momentum to forge onward. Let me give you an example:
Two weeks ago our Chicago office was basically slapped by Mother Nature, who thought it funny to dump 19.6 inches of snow on the city - making for our fifth largest blizzard in Chicago’s recorded history.
(Photo: There's an actual car under there)
But, being the thick-skinned, snow-savvy people we are as Chicagoans, we still trekked out in cold using our streets and the ‘L’ (our public transit system) to get around, as no travel bans were placed. I, for one, was one of those crazies – just out for a casual stroll to my Super Bowl Sunday gathering. NOTHING was going to keep me from the food, friends, football game, food, commercials, food, Katy Perry half-time show, food, and food. And for most Chicagoans alike, it was business as usual. (Granted there were a few… casualties. See: photo of abandoned car).
(Photo: Abandoned cars remain in middle of Chicago streets
from previous night, blocking plows & tow trucks)
While many Chicago offices, including ours, placed our safety before work and allowed us to remain home considering the danger element, there were still people crowding the streets on Monday morning. Our office in particular saw an amazing turnout. Because we know our shows are time-sensitive projects, and we want to make sure we’re on top of our game. That desire to meet deadlines and to plan ahead for any road bumps we may cross brought us through the tundra and to our computer screens. For you, our exhibitors & visitors.
Here’s another: Currently, our building is experiencing some electrical issues unrelated to our particular office, which has made the heat go out. It is currently -15 degrees Fahrenheit outside our windows, while the west coast parodies what hardship feels like. Once again offered the safety to stay home until the issue is fixed, what did we do? We put on another layer, sucked it up, and came anyway.
You see, problems can come at you from all angles without you ever being able to see it coming (much like weather). But rolling with the punches, remaining optimistic, and most importantly planning ahead allows you to find the solutions. In this particular case the solution just happens to be an extra pair of long underwear.
Basically, any show that we organize for the early Winter season (i.e. September-December) undergoes heavy organizing during this, the dreaded dead depths of the late Winter season (i.e. January-March). But we’re here to send you reminders, give you calls, and motivate you. Many deadlines may be approaching for shows in your industry. So while winter is hard, the sun is rising earlier/setting later. The snow and ice are thawing (at least right before it freezes again). And the first day of Spring is next month! Besides, the groundhog reared his head nearly three weeks ago – so we’re half way out of the woods! So here’s to early planning!

The DentaQuest Partnership for Oral Health Advancement has again made Shenandoah Community Health Foundation the beneficiary of funds that will be used to purchase equipment for their oral health center, Healthy Smiles. Dr. Marcia Brand, Senior Advisor to DentaQuest and a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, designated the Foundation as her “charity of choice” for a DentaQuest philanthropic sponsorship. Dr. Brand also made a personal contribution toward the purchase. The funds will be used to replace the Automated Handpiece Maintenance System for Healthy Smiles. The new system will lengthen the lives of handpieces bought with a previous DentaQuest grant.
Shenandoah Community Health (SCH) established Healthy Smiles in 2009 with extensive community support to address the critical lack of access to oral health care in the Eastern Panhandle for children, especially those with Medicaid coverage, and for uninsured adults. In 2020, 65% of Healthy Smiles’ patients had Medicaid coverage and 20% were uninsured. Shenandoah Community Health is a non-profit multi-disciplinary health center which provides women’s health, behavioral health, primary care services, pharmacy, and extensive ancillary services, in addition to oral health care.
Dr. Michael Monopoli, Vice President and Executive Director for Grants Strategy of the DentaQuest Partnership for Oral Health Advancement, said “Thank you for the opportunity to support the important work that you all do. I think it is a privilege to be the steward of funds that can be used to support the community, but it is an honor to support the work of so many who improve the lives of their communities. Thank you for the work that you do.” The DentaQuest Partnership is passionate about and committed to revolutionizing oral health to create an effective and equitable system that results in improved oral health and well-being for everyone. | <urn:uuid:3d059454-3db6-4251-826e-6f5da3712435> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.shencommhealth.com/news/40/healthy-smiles-receives-grant-from-dentaquest | 2022-05-17T05:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662515501.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517031843-20220517061843-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.952765 | 390 |
50,000 expected for opening of City Creek Center
To say traffic in downtown Salt Lake City is expected to be heavy Thursday and the next few days after is putting it lightly.
City Creek Center officially opens at 10 a.m. after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9:30, and officials expect about 50,000 people to converge on downtown to explore the new mall in its first three days of operation.
Ten to 20 extra officers will be on hand downtown Thursday through Sunday and again the following weekend, said Salt Lake City police Sgt. Shawn Josephson. They will help move traffic and respond to safety issues, Josephson said.
City Creek's massive underground garage has room for 5,000 vehicles, and parking is free for the first hour. Parking cost for the second hour is $1, $2 for a third hour and $5 for four hours. The daily maximum is $20, and the charge for a lost ticket is $20.
In addition, Salt Lake City has revamped its downtown parking-meter system for greater simplicity, replacing coin-operated meters with digital stations that accept debit and credit cards.
For those using public transportation, TRAX stops near City Creek's sky bridge on Main Street and near Nordstrom at South Temple and West Temple.
The Utah Transit Authority plans to maintain its regular TRAX schedule for the mall's opening, but run longer trains than normal, UTA spokesman Gerry Carpenter said.
"We will be monitoring the situation. If we need to, we can bring in more trains and are ready to do so," he said.
He notes that four-car trains "can carry 4,000 people an hour in each direction, and we think that will be sufficient."
He said planning for the grand opening is trickier than planning for most special occasions, such as a university football game or a concert. "You don't have a lot of people arriving or leaving at a set time. We expect higher ridership throughout the day and well into the evening," Carpenter said. | <urn:uuid:5d49c906-09b1-4cb2-b296-fc017c2d0768> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/53756836-79/creek-downtown-hour-lake.html.csp?utm_source=twitterfeed | 2014-12-17T20:28:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802764752.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075244-00015-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96307 | 413 |

WASHINGTON — After entering free agency with a roster full of uncertainty, the Nets have engineered a nearly complete overhaul of their team after the first two weeks of free agency.
But even after all of the millions of Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov’s money that have been invested in the team this summer — from re-signing Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace and Brook Lopez to trading for six-time All-Star Joe Johnson — general manager Billy King still has more work to do in order to finish rounding out the Nets’ roster.
He filled one important hole on Saturday night, when the Nets signed C.J. Watson to back up Williams at the point. Another should be filled shortly if, as expected, the Nets eventually re-sign power forward Kris Humphries.
Once that situation is resolved, however, the Nets still will have two weaknesses on their roster that both King and Nets coach Avery Johnson have made mention of recently: backups at both small forward and center.
One possibility to back up Wallace at small forward is Damion James, whom the Nets drafted in 2010 and who spent much of last season sidelined following surgery to repair a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. The injury was a recurrence of one James initially suffered during his rookie season.
A source said the Nets have spoken to James since free agency began about the possibility of bringing back the 6-foot-7, 225-pound forward, after declining the option on his contract during the year and making him a free agent.
James, who averaged 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in seven games — all starts — before sitting out the rest of the season following surgery to repair the stress fracture, has meetings scheduled with multiple teams this week.
As for the Nets’ backup center spot, an overseas report said the team was about to offer Bryant Dunston — who played at Fordham and played well in Orlando with the Nets’ Summer League team — a guaranteed contract for next season, but a source shot down the report. | <urn:uuid:35d3a047-d2b8-43ea-9c74-5c8e69b4b732> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://nypost.com/2012/07/16/humphries-backups-still-on-tap-for-nets/ | 2014-03-10T21:13:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011020120/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091700-00040-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96879 | 418 |
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is setting up five laboratories across the country and each will specialise in the core area of futuristic technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), quantum technologies, cognitive technologies, asymmetric technologies and smart materials.
These laboratories are known as `Young Scientists Laboratories' and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon be dedicating these to the nation at Bengaluru.
An official statement from DRDO stated "Edge in technology continues to define the directions of operational, tactical and strategic warfare paradigms."
These new laboratories located Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad will give a boost to India's strategic defence capabilities. "The futuristic areas of asymmetric technologies, which are expected to change the way wars are fought will be based out of the campus of Jadavpur University in Kolkata. And the research in hot and critical area of smart materials and their applications will be based out of Hyderabad," said DRDO
Bengaluru will be the base for carrying out research in the area of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and the all-important area of quantum technology will be based out of IIT Mumbai. DRDO has identified IIT Chennai which will house the laboratory for studying cognitive technologies.
"From making India self-reliant to future-ready in defence technologies, for DRDO the new laboratories which will work on the advanced and future technologies will be a big leap forward. Advanced technologies which are critical to the development of futuristic defence systems will be the focus areas of these new laboratories."
Also, for these laboratories, the directors have been selected independently by a committee chaired by Principal Scientific Advisor to Central government and have been empowered with financial and administrative authorities which is at par with any director of a DRDO laboratory.
In the new decade innovations and rapid development of future game-changing technologies need to be encouraged and supported with financial investments and intellectual capital.
"The importance of speed of assessment, rapid prototyping, the pace of evaluation and focused development are critical for DRDO to remain relevant in the field of cutting edge technology." | <urn:uuid:8e5e6cdc-86a4-48d6-b089-d70af67408b6> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://in.style.yahoo.com/laboratories-gen-next-futuristic-technologies-135857109.html | 2020-04-06T09:55:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371620338.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200406070848-20200406101348-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.923075 | 425 |
Well, it’s official: winter has arrived. The calendar said it was here in December, but only in February have we had the kind of chilling, biting cold that calls for hot chocolate and school cancellations. Little Miss R recently had a day off school due to wind-chill temperatures. (My sister’s family lives further north and has had SIX off this year. As in, 2019.)
Working from home as I do erodes the boundaries between “at work” and “away from work,” so when Little Miss R has an unpexpected day off, I feel pressure to get just as much done as ever. But she wants to play! She’s far too extroverted to settle with a stack of books all day. We compromised on some playtime, then some worktime for me while she snitched a device and FaceTimed with her friends (the modern equivalent of stretching the phone cord from the kitchen down the hallway, as I did so many times).
Speaking of work…one change since last month’s update is that I’ve regretfully bowed out of one of the planned novella projects for this year. I hated to do it, because I knew I’d love working with the other authors. I felt like I was letting them down, and myself too.
But I’m trying to be more realistic about what I can do, given the limitations of my energy. I need to think about what I can get done, not what I want to get done or what I think I should get done. It’s an ongoing process of reality checks and realizations. Perhaps I’ll get there one day.
Anyway, you’ll still be getting a new story from me in June and again later on in the fall—maybe October. And before then, of course, is the release of Lady Notorious on 2-26. I’ll be around the Internet in a few places to share excerpts and giveaways, including Limecello’s blog, The Drawing Room Facebook group, and Vanessa Kelly’s Clan Kendrick Facebook group. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I’ll always post the latest hops and stops there.
Looking ahead to March, I’ll be going twice to North Carolina. The first trip is purely to be with family, to attend my littlest niece’s baptism. The second time I go, I’ll be presenting for Duke as part of the “Unsuitable” series examining the role of women in popular culture and fiction. I believe these events are open to the public, so if you happen to be in the Raleigh-Durham area on March 22, I’d love to see you! More info here: https://sites.duke.edu/unsuitable/events/
And now, I have a giveaway to offer. As I looked through my stash of author copies, I realized I have one print advance copy of Lady Notorious without a home. I’d love to get it into a reader’s hands before publication day on the 26th!
Thanks for reading, gang. There would be no books without you, so you’re all my Valentines. | <urn:uuid:5f6e7d62-e9dc-45dc-b9b3-b03d8c18fe1d> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://theresaromain.com/category/roguish-runners/ | 2023-04-02T09:26:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296950422.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20230402074255-20230402104255-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.962344 | 828 |

This course is led by Tom Lenz, PharmD. Lenz is a professor at Creighton University in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies. A Creighton graduate, Lenz has taught at Creighton since 2001. His research and scholarship focus on self-care, employee well-being, lifestyle medicine, disease prevention, health promotion and online learning. He has authored a number of articles and several books, including “Lifestyle Medicine for Chronic Diseases.”
On his teaching philosophy, Lenz says, “After many years of working one-on-one with people to help guide them toward health and well-being, I have realized that each person’s circumstances and life journey is truly unique unto themselves, and yet we all share curiously similar commonalities. This realization has driven my research and teaching in recent years. My area of exploration and teaching centers on the core elements that lead to personal and collective well-being.” When he’s not teaching Lenz enjoys spending time with family outdoors doing activities like swimming, biking, running and water sports.
Student interactions and viewpoints are a vital part of our rich learning environment. For this reason, Creighton reserves the right to cancel courses and issue refunds in the case of low registration numbers. | <urn:uuid:7a71ee81-c759-4d0d-be14-e7bbe0643f45> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://gradschool.creighton.edu/programs/professional-development/courses/health/advanced-lifestyle-medicine | 2019-12-08T10:01:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540508599.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20191208095535-20191208123535-00175.warc.gz | en | 0.950042 | 519 |

If you have watched the news or read any newspaper there is a chance that you have heard of Linda Sarsour. She is a Muslim activist who is and has been advocating for reforms in immigration policies. She was partially responsible for eradicating "sophisticated surveillance" of Muslim Communities in New York by the Police. Moreover, she has successfully co-organized the Women's March in 2017, which had over 500,000 attendees in Washington DC alone. She is also a firm believer of intersectional feminism, which is also one of the posters in the New York Historical Society Exhibitions. Along her political involvement, she has worked with the City Hall of New York to close public schools on two of the most important days in the Muslim Community, Eid-Ul-Fitr and Eid-Ul-Adha. Be being such a politically active Muslim woman, she has helped shatter the stereotype of a Muslim woman always staying in the backgrund or always scared. Finally, she is deeply invloved in the Black Lives Matter movement and has helped organize a march from New York to Washington in honor of Eric Garner, Akai Gurley and other black men killed by the police.
Unlike any other activist Sarsour has her share of controversies surrounding her. Her protests against the current administration has led to a number of right-wing news outlets such as: Fox News,RealClearPolitics and more. While Sarsour has a right to defend herself, the people against her opinions might have had experiences that led to them to their own conclusions. All in all, Sarsour continues to be one of the trailblazers for the Muslim community and one of the most renowned activists of our time.Crowds at the Women's March on Washington, March 2017.

“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life. “ ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’ (Re 2:8–11)
No temptation has seized you that isn’t common for people. But God is faithful. He won’t allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. Instead, with the temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it. (1 Cor 10:13)
Many translate the Corinthian text as testing and not temptation, which is the correct. Not just any temptation, but ‘superhuman’ kind. The Smyrna church wasn’t being tempted, but they were about to be tested and go through the fire. But as the three Hebrew boys found out when they were about to be thrown into the furnace, God doesn’t put the fire out; God meets them in the fire.
If you find yourself in a trial or tribulation, look for the Lord in the midst of the fire. | <urn:uuid:770f5733-779a-4cfc-b9c3-18418f240235> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://tthreadwell.blog/2019/11/10/smyrna-threough-the-fire/ | 2022-07-04T12:33:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104375714.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220704111005-20220704141005-00182.warc.gz | en | 0.976562 | 350 |

QUOTED: Karen Stintz, on her powers of invisibility
“Just because you didn’t see me doesn’t mean I wasn’t there.”
–Karen Stintz at Monday’s city council meeting, defending herself in a heated argument with Rob Ford about leadership during December’s ice storm. Was she trying to suggest that she has some kind of invisible aircraft, like Wonder Woman? Alas, no. Stintz had accused Ford of failing to allow deputy mayor Norm Kelly to take charge during the storm. In response, Ford accused Stintz, who is the chair of the TTC, of not personally attending to ice-related transit problems. This was her way of denying that charge. The exchange is already being interpreted as an early shot in the coming mayoral campaign, during which Stintz is expected to be one of Ford’s major opponents. | <urn:uuid:d083b706-848b-4fdf-864d-b2ad8aea9699> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://torontolife.com/city/toronto-politics/quoted-karen-stintz-powers-invisibility/ | 2017-06-24T10:30:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320257.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624101204-20170624121204-00283.warc.gz | en | 0.973747 | 190 |
Zoetis and The Right Horse Initiative announced their partnership today to help horses in transition. Each year, hundreds of thousands of horses change careers or owners; a growing number of these horses end up at risk of inhumane treatment. Led by the WaterShed Animal Fund, a division of the Arnall Family Foundation, The Right Horse Initiative works to unify equine industry professionals, welfare advocates and the public to improve the lives of horses in transition and promote adoption as a preferred method of finding a horse.
“Industrywide collaboration has been the missing element in solving equine welfare problems in the United States. The Right Horse’s success will be achieved through our partners’ collaboration. We are thrilled the list of Right Horse partners is growing and positioning the initiative for real impact,” said Christy Counts, president of The Right Horse Initiative.
Zoetis, the leading global animal health company, is proud to support this effort to help safeguard equine wellness for all horses.
“Zoetis will continue to work to help resolve this issue as part of its dedication to innovation and passion for animal health,” said Jaci Boggs, DVM, senior equine marketing manager with Zoetis. “We best serve our customers when we have honest face-to-face conversations about real needs and the solutions we can deliver to help meet them. Our partnership with The Right Horse Initiative serves as an extension of this promise.”
Zoetis joins existing industry partners, adoption organizations and equine advocates, including the Certified Horsemanship Association, Equine Sciences Colorado State University, Equus Foundation, Institute for Human-Animal Connection, Interscholastic Equestrian Association, Retired Racehorse Project, Time to Ride and the Unwanted Horse Coalition.
Right Horse partners offer their voice, support and expertise to grow the conversation and create a unified effort to promote adoption as a preferred method of finding a horse. By working together, partner organizations serve as champions for education, proper training and public awareness on a national level.
Together, Zoetis and The Right Horse Initiative will support a national movement to reframe the equine adoption conversation. To learn more about The Right Horse Initiative, visit therighthorse.org.
