620 Building Associates
Waterleaf Architecture & Interiors
Lease Crutcher Lewis
Providing structural design for the seismic repairs to the historic Failing Building, currently named the 620 Building. The seismic repairs were desired by the owner to correct a weak and soft story condition that was created during a renovation in the 1950's and discovered during a due diligence study as part of the sale of the building. catena reviewed the due diligence study and proposed an alternative repair scheme consisting of concrete shear walls to that proposed by another engineer. Our design created a system that re-established the lateral strength of the building and added energy absorption capacity, and saved over $150,000 in comparison to the scheme proposed by another engineer. catena was selected due to our innovative approach to the design criteria, which satisfied not only the owner's desires, but those of zealous building officials, and due to our clear understanding of constructability issues when working in historic buildings. | <urn:uuid:d344cad9-cda6-4eeb-8f3c-0b9950b9c449> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://catenaengineers.com/project.php?id=401 | 2018-05-25T06:44:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867046.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525063346-20180525083346-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.970314 | 192 |

Jayden did mention that the Desert of Eldariat was an ancient nation before it became a wasteland inhabited by magical monsters. Looks like whatever flew over their heads unearthed some of those ruins. And just who, or what, is living there?
There was a bit of webcomics news about an android app called DailyComix that was hijacking other webcomics' RSS feeds to make money. Dominic Deegan wasn't on the list of comics being "offered" (not that I'm complaining) and that's probably because there is no RSS for this comic. People have been asking me to implement one for years but I've never felt it was an urgent issue. I understand that it would be convenient for folks to be reminded that the comic has updated, but it's been updating at around the same time every weekday for the past decade. I figured after nearly ten years people would remember that. But who knows? Maybe this is the kick-in-the-pants I needed to actually get one this year. Maybe. I dunno. It still doesn't feel like an urgent issue to me.
Also, if you see anyone offering some kind of RSS feed for Dominic Deegan, I've got nothing to do with it. There is no official RSS for this comic. Yet. Maybe.
That's all from me for now. | <urn:uuid:75f373f1-374a-4edb-b09b-5ffd1713ad20> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2012-03-15 | 2018-05-27T21:27:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870470.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527205925-20180527225925-00535.warc.gz | en | 0.985386 | 273 |
Wayne Slaght is a rancher. He manages the 10,000-acre Two Creek Ranch in Powell County, Montana, the ranch he grew up on and that his father managed before him. It's in bear country, and he knows every grizzly that passes through this rolling patch of Big Sky country about 50 miles east of Missoula. It's elk country too, and one bitter November day he was pounding postholes in the frozen ground, erecting an eight-foot-high elk fence around a larder of hay that will feed his 800 cattle during the long winter that lies ahead. But the biggest threat to his livelihood doesn't even have teeth. "It's knapweed," he says without hesitation. Uncontrolled, "it could put me out of business in ten years as easily as a grizzly could take down one of my cows."
From This Story
Spotted knapweed, as the plant is more formally known, is a national menace, a weed of mass destruction. In Montana alone, it covers some 4.5 million acres and costs ranchers more than $40 million annually in herbicide and lost productivity. Native from central Europe to Siberia, spotted knapweed reached North America in the late 19th century. It invades pastureland and renders huge tracts commercially useless, because cattle, horses and most other animals turn up their noses at it. The purple-flowered pest, which some nonranchers regard as beautiful, has become so rampant that elk have changed their migration routes to avoid it.
New research points to an unusual reason for the plant's success. Ragan Callaway of the University of Montana in Missoula, who studies how plants interact with one another, and Jorge Vivanco of Colorado State University have found that spotted knapweed conducts chemical warfare on its neighbors—the first comprehensive evidence of an invasive plant using an offensive chemical weapon.
Several thousand foreign plant and animal species, including zebra mussels from Eurasia and Asian long-horned beetles, have colonized the United States. About one in ten turns invasive, or spreads to such a degree that it disrupts existing ecosystems. All told, invasive species cost the nation upwards of $140 billion a year. But few rival spotted knapweed for sheer nastiness. It's "one of the worst invasive plant species in the United States, one that we really don't have much of a handle on yet," says Eric Lane, Colorado's weed coordinator.
Spotted knapweed arrived in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1883 either as a contaminant in imported alfalfa or in soil used as ship ballast. Since then, the weed has spread throughout Canada and into almost every state in the United States—and every county in Montana. In late summer and autumn, its one-inch, thistle-like flowers cast a pink-and-lavender hue across dry meadows, pastures, stony hills, roadsides and flood plains. "There are very few species of plant, even invasive ones, that so completely take over a landscape the way that spotted knapweed does," says Callaway. Worse yet, it's tough for native plants to grow back when spotted knapweed has been eliminated. "Many herbicides can kill it easily," Vivanco says. "The real problem," he speculates, "stems from the fact that spotted knapweed releases a chemical that leaves the soil toxic to the native plants it displaces."
The idea that plants might engage in chemical warfare against each other is even older than spotted knapweed's residence in North America. In 1832, Swiss botanist Alphos-Louis-Pierre-Pyramus DeCandolle speculated that noxious weeds may exude chemicals from their roots that inhibit the growth of other plants. Allelopathy, as the theory is known, has had its ups and downs among scientists; lately, it has been a hypothesis non grata. Still, Callaway and graduate student Wendy Ridenour decided to see if allelopathy could explain spotted knapweed's success in out-competing native plants.
Ridenour grew spotted knapweed together with Idaho fescue, a native bunch grass, in a clear pot filled with sand, enabling her to measure the growth of the plants' roots. Four days after the plants had germinated, fescue roots sharing a pot with knapweed were half the size of those grown alone or with other, native species. Then, when Ridenour spiked the pots with activated charcoal, which absorbs organic chemicals and would neutralize any poison that the weed released, the fescue roots grew at a nearly normal rate despite sharing quarters with spotted knapweed.
Vivanco took on the search for spotted knapweed's chemical arsenal. He and a researcher in his lab, Harsh Bais, found that within two to three weeks of germinating, spotted knapweed seedlings were already churning out a substance that killed any other plant that they exposed to it. The toxin, they found, is a chemical called (-)-catechin (pronounced minus-CAT-e-kin). Most chemicals occur in one of two forms that mirror each other, like left and right hands. Green tea and cotton plant roots produce the "plus" version of catechin, using it as a potent antibiotic to keep bacteria from nibbling on them. But spotted knapweed produces the "minus" form, which almost immediately destroys the roots of other plants. Botanists have long known that plants use chemicals to defend themselves against insects and other predators, says Alastair Fitter, a biologist from the University of York in England. But in this case, the toxin appears to be arming a plant for invasion.
Vivanco and Callaway went on to show that spotted knapweed-infected North American soils had two to three times more (-)-catechin than soils from the plant's native habitat in Europe, where spotted knapweed grows in harmony with thousands of grasses and other perennials. This suggested to the researchers that either European soil microbes had evolved a way of eliminating (-)-catechin or that American spotted knapweed populations produce more of the toxin. The plant's European neighbors are also less sensitive to the chemical; in contrast to their North American counterparts, the native grasses thrived in (-)-catechin soil.
Recognizing that European plants had perhaps evolved a means of coping with the chemical led the scientists to search for North American plants with the same ability. So far, Callaway and Vivanco's groups have found about ten different species that show resistance. Ridenour is now attempting to breed bluebunch wheatgrass, with the goal of producing a native species for replanting efforts. | <urn:uuid:12c6436a-faf9-4011-9358-e62386e90039> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/wicked-weed-of-the-west-97008935/ | 2015-11-30T08:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398461132.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205421-00013-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967738 | 1,408 |

Behind the scenes in warden's land dealAnother party expressed interest; state may pay warden to rent property in future
Augusta — Documents released by the Maine Bureau of General Services July 7 show that the Maine State Prison warden used knowledge she had gained through her employment with the prison during negotiations to buy state-owned property in Thomaston.
Prison Warden Patricia Barnhart and Sheehan Gallagher paid $175,000 to the state to buy a Ship Street Circle parcel that includes three houses and more than five acres of property extending down to the St. George River, according to Maine Bureau of General Services Acting Director Betty M. Lamoreau.
In response to a written request from VillageSoup, the Maine Bureau of General Services released 347 pages of emails, deeds and other documents related to the sale.
In one instance during the emailed negotiations over the price of the property, Barnhart states: "During this past year we as a facility looked into utilizing the property at 24 Ship as additional housing for our [prison] staff and determined it was uninhabitable without extensive and cost prohibitive repairs..."
The documents also show that she based her initial offer of $150,000 in part on the prices the state accepted when selling the former Maine State Police barracks and other state-owned properties in Thomaston.
Emails between state officials further show that another potential buyer expressed interest in the properties during the negotiations.
The documents also indicate that although Barnhart has agreed to let the prison use one of the houses rent-free for four years to house trainees, she may charge the state "market rent" starting on the fifth year.
The discussion of Barnhart buying the property started with an email Sept. 2, 2010, from Denise Lord, formerly of the Maine Department of Corrections, to Chip Gavin, former director of the Maine Bureau of General Services.
"The warden asked if there was a possibility that she might purchase the house she is living in currently," Lord wrote. "...Is it possible that BGS could consider this? Not sure if there are any prohibitions or concerns about this and will respect your decision."
In the same email, Lord noted that the Department of Corrections would like to keep the use of one of the Ship Street Circle homes as temporary housing for newly hired staff.
The prison has been providing the warden with housing as has been the tradition. However, state officials say the state is not obligated by the warden's contract to provide her with housing.
Gavin contacted Chris Paszyc of CBRE/The Boulos Company on Sept. 7. Boulos had been hired by the Bureau of General Services to sell certain state-owned properties.
"If a current occupant was able and willing to purchase one of the homes at its appraised fair-market value, I would be interested to know your recommendation," Gavin wrote. "Do you think, in the current market, that is a reasonable approach?"
"I think that is reasonable and would encourage you to pursue any and all buyers in this market," Paszyc wrote back the same day.
Barnhart made an initial offer of $150,000 for all three homes. In the following email, she cites the amounts the state had already accepted when selling the former Maine State Police barrack in Thomaston and three Main Street properties across from the former site of the Maine State Prison on Route 1.
"The following information was taken into consideration when establishing a purchase amount for the Ship St. properties," Barnhart wrote in an e-mail Dec. 8, 2010, to Jon Leahy of Boulos. "Based on the sales amount of the properties of which I am aware: 446 Maine [sic] St.=$104,000.00; 367, 232 and 399 Maine St.=$150,000.00; I arrived at a total amount for the Ship St. properties. These properties sold at approx. 39% of the assessed values as taken from the 5/30/06 appraisal information."
"I gave additional consideration to the condition of the homes," Barnhart continued in the same e-mail. "During this past year we as a facility looked into utilizing the property at 24 Ship as additional housing for our staff and determined it was uninhabitable without extensive and cost prohibitive repairs starting with the condition of the heater, drains, roof, siding, windows etc. We have used 26 Ship as a bunk house for staff to date however it does not have a stove etc. and also has issues with the roof, siding, paint, windows etc."
"The house I currently occupy is also in need of window replacement throughout," she wrote. "Finally, situated directly behind the house I currently reside in is a power station with daily visitors. Last winter a storm took out the power station for four days-ripping the cables down off the house and the station and blocking the street.
"These houses are situated on 4.3 acres of property, however most of this is not usable space and it is shared with working train tracks and a hobo camp down by the river," she concluded.
Barnhart and her partner closed on the properties June 9, 2011. On June 15, 2011, Mark Barbour of Landmark Corp. in Rockport representing Barnhart sent an email to Thomaston Code Enforcement Officer Peter Surek asking to come before the planning board for a subdivision of the Ship Street Circle property.
The property is 5.03 acres in size, according to the deed, which excludes the land within the railroad right of way. Thomaston Assessors' Agent David Martucci says the property has an assessed value of $458,001.
In response to Barnhart's initial offer, Leahy in December 2010 recommended countering at a price of $200,000 if the prison system could lease one of the houses for three years at $1 annually. Otherwise, he recommended the state counter at $275,000 for her to own all three buildings free and clear.
"I feel that we will need to incentivize her in the purchase price to accommodate the necessity to keep DOC in-place rent free," Leahy wrote.
As negotiations continued, the state and Barnhart would eventually arrive at $175,000 with a four-year lease back to the state to use one of the houses for $1 per year.
Prison inmates provide work
The negotiations with Barnhart continued Jan. 31 with an email from Leahy to Director William Leet of the Division of Leased Space.
"Patti [Barnhart] is happy to provide the facility rent-free for four years, but if the DOC [Department of Corrections] requests a renewal for a fifth year, she would expect a market rent," Leahy wrote. "She would like to continue having the lawn/plowing/trash handled by the state. Currently it is handled by a prisoner work program. Is it possible for this to continue? She has requested that the state pay 1/3 of the annual real estate taxes once due."
"I believe we can accommodate all of the requests of the buyer excluding the payment of 1/3 of the annual real estate taxes," Leet wrote Feb. 8.
As part of the final agreement, inmate work crews provide mowing and landscaping work on the property, remove trash and clear snow, Maine Bureau of General Services Acting Director Betty M. Lamoreau and Department of Corrections Associate Commissioner Jody Breton confirmed July 6.
"I am not sure if it is legal for us to provide those services without owning or leasing the property," Leet wrote in an email March 1.
"I have been trying to get an answer from the AG's Office," he wrote March 9. "Corrections and BGS are OK with it; we just need to be sure it's appropriate and legal."
Interviewed at the Bureau of General Services July 7, Lamoreau said she did not know what the response from the Attorney General's office was. She noted that while the bureau had provided a complete record of emails and documents, some discussions that may have taken place over the phone are not part of the record.
Another party interested
On Jan. 18, 2011, about the time Martucci said Barnhart showed him the properties and asked some questions about them, an email went from Leet to Paszyc stating, "I had a conversation with Bill Bird from Thomaston who was interested in the homes on Ship's Circle. I was not sure where the negotiations are with the potential buyer, so I gave him your number to call to discuss. What is the situation in Thomaston?"
"I have spoken to Bill Bird — it appears he had heard at Thomaston Town Hall that the property was selling," Leahy wrote in an email Jan. 19. "I have expressed that we are in basic agreement with a prospective buyer. He was accepting of that response."
What is the fair market value of the property?
State and town documents dating from 2006 to the present provide multiple appraisals, estimates, offers and assessments of the value of the property.
The town has assessed the value of the property at $458,001, according to Martucci.
Martucci said July 5 that his assessment is completely up-to-date.
On file both in Thomaston and with the state is an appraisal of the state-owned properties from May 2006 performed by Amidon Appraisal Company of Portland for the state. According to that appraisal, the home the warden has been living in on Ship Street Circle alone was valued at $175,000. The two other homes on the street were appraised at $125,000 and $130,000.
On Dec. 29, Gavin sent an email to Leahy at Boulos asking his opinion of the value on the Ship Street Circle properties. Five minutes later, Leahy responded saying "$220,471." The email states that the number was from an executive summary prepared in 2009. A copy of the executive summary was also included in the documents released.
"The assessed values bear no relation to the actual market value. This is typical of government owned property on municipal tax rolls," Paszyc said in a June 30 email.
"If this went out to market..."
Leahy wrote about the lack of marketing for the property in an email June 29.
"She submitted an offer prior to us openly marketing," he wrote. "It is important to note, due to the three homes being located in close proximity to each other and on a single lot, it would have been very difficult and costly for the state to subdivide."
"Upon receiving Patti's offer, Chip realized that we would not be able to relocated the DoC [Department of Corrections] from the property," Leahy continued. "We would need to negotiate a multi-year, free rent 'lease/back' for the DoC House. We felt this encumbrance would make the property very difficult to sell."
Paszyc added June 30, "If this went out to market, it was going out at $210,000 if I recall correctly. That was before we found out DOC had to stay and had no money to lease back."
However, the initial plan apparently called for marketing the property. Among the documents released by the state was a "Strategic plan for property disposition" for 22-30 Ship Circle Thomaston. The headings on each page of the plan included both the label "State of Maine" and CBRE/The Boulos Company.
The document states that after meeting with the state and stakeholders, The Boulos Company would implement a marketing program for the state that would include direct marketing, brochure preparation and distribution, advertising in print and electronic media, development of websites and direct solicitation.
Another document concerning specifications for the work to be done by Boulos mentioned advertising properties in daily newspapers.
Other state-owned properties sold around prison land
In November 2010, the state sold the former Maine State Police barracks to an entity called Barracks LLC for $104,000, according to documents on file at the Thomaston Town Office. At the time of that sale, the same developers also received the right of first offer on a maintenance building behind the barrack.
Barracks LLC is a business started by a group that was until recently planning to develop the former Maine State Prison property itself. Other company names affiliated with the same developers include St. George Cove LLC and The Developers Collaborative based in Portland. The partners in the collaborative are Richard Berman, Kevin Bunker and James Hatch. Strong Insurance Agency Inc. has been operating out of the barracks.
In December 2009, two Port Clyde residents purchased three properties across Main Street from the former prison property, including the buildings known as the warden's house and deputy warden's house. Like the Ship Street Circle properties, these properties had been owned by the state.
The three properties were sold to Carl F. Danielson and Carolyn Whittaker of Port Clyde. At the time the state reported the properties collectively sold for $150,000.
At the time the state said the properties had been listed on the open market in hopes of getting the best value. | <urn:uuid:12102b9d-915f-4318-bf28-11dda64225b7> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://knox.villagesoup.com/p/behind-the-scenes-in-wardens-land-deal/419627 | 2014-10-21T07:11:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507444209.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005724-00063-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978179 | 2,705 |
CYCLOPS – in Greek mythology the one-eyed giant living in the cave. The legends about one-eyed giants exist in many Nations. About Cyclops all basically know thanks to the immortal Homer’s “the Odyssey”, in which brave Greek sailors were trapped on a desert island, we decided to spend the night in the cave and as a result found themselves captured by a one-eyed giant-the Cyclops Polyphemus. The easiest, of course, would be to assume a one-eyed giant fiction rich imagination of ancient people, which Homer wrote down the verses.
However, it is still serious evidence for the existence of Cyclops was found. As believed by some modern researchers, the emergence of the legend of the Cyclops was able to contribute. archaeological error. Greeks could be found in some cave on the island of Sicily, the skull of a mammoth (which is still found in Siberia). Large opening of the nasal cavity in the center of the skull could be taken as a single large orbit of the eye, and the relatively small real eye orbit on the sides of the skull would quite not pay attention [“VAW” 1997, N 5]. Today, scientists have information that several thousand years ago around the Mediterranean was inhabited by dwarf elephants, the size of the “one-eyed” of skulls which exceeded several times the human.
How could things be, really? Imagine a Hellenic shepherd Continue reading
Underground structure of the ancient Breakfast
In Bahmal district builders conducting excavation, accidentally discovered fragments of the ancient buildings. This was immediately hastened to inform the Institute of archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It happened in September last year.
Urgently to the place of discovery left the team of specialists from among scientific experts of the Institute. Assumptions were confirmed: indeed, on a hilly upland, near the village Novka where they extracted the raw materials for Usmanskogo brick plant, bucket unexpectedly revealed the foundations of some ancient buildings, but rather an underground passage, which was crossed with an unknown cone-shaped structure, resembling the well. Scientists struck by the fact that the cave was found a single subject of life (fragments of pots, jugs, traces of an ancient hearth, etc.). In the upper part of the walls of the dungeon were seen dredging. As it turned out, they were supported wooden poles, which served as protective elements from landslides. Therefore, during the construction of underground facilities have been used and wood materials. An underground passage was dug manually. In the floodplain, archaeologists discovered and sand.
Further excavations showed that this ancient underground structure was found near the village Novka, it is underground water, there is an underground water system that supplied at the time of the local Continue reading
Gothic clothing – “Black romance”
One of the modern ways of expression, mainly the younger generation, is the Gothic style. It is not only different from the rest of the world, special music and poetry, and specific clothes. It would seem that you can find beauty in the eerily dark ensembles who prefer Goths?
But it seems that the famous designer Donatella Versace was able to consider “cold” the beauty and Majesty of one of the most provocative, but at the same time incredibly sexy styles. As evidenced by last autumn-winter collection of the famous brand. The fashion catwalk was tagged with models in tight leather dresses, high boots appeared, with ornaments in the form of crosses and a predominance of black in the outfits. Fashion magazine Elle found in the handwriting of the collection Gianni Versace, and the most noble of the periodical revival of forgotten designers of the style defined as neo-Gothic.
However, before you focus on the major trends of Gothic style on the runway, let’s take a “procession” in history, to the origins of the emergence of the flamboyant style.

The Gothic style originated in France in the twelfth century — the very time when witches were burned mercilessly at the stake, the knights selflessly serve Continue reading | <urn:uuid:dec61d20-daae-42d7-9ca3-8022b740c7ca> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://twintrade.info/list/attention | 2017-12-16T20:33:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948589177.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216201436-20171216223436-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.964374 | 874 |

What you'll need to get started:
3 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
2 (.25 oz) packages of active dry yeast (or about 4 1/2 tsps bulk yeast)
1/3 cup honey
5 cups bread flour
3 tbs butter, melted
1/3 cup honey (again)
1 tbs salt
3.5 cups whole wheat flour
more butter (to spread on top)
9x5 in. pan
What to do:
1. First, activate your yeast. Plop all those tsps of yeast into the 3 cups of warm water and set aside for about 5-10 minutes.
2. Then mix 5 cups of bread flour with the yeast-y water combo and 1/3 cup honey and stir well. Set aside for about 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.
3. Mix in 3 tbs melted butter, another 1/3 cup honey, salt and about 2 cups wheat flour. Mix well.
4. Place this mix onto a floured surface and knead, adding more flour until it's only slightly sticky, but not stuck to the table/counter. Once it reaches this point, I like to knead it for a good 10 minutes to really get the gluten going.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl. Plop it in and the turn it once over to coat it with grease. Cover with a towel and let rise until it has doubled.
6. Punch down (I give it a quick 3 jabs), shape, and cut into your loaves. Using a (greased) 9x5 pan it makes 3 loaves. I prefer to bake them all at once and then freeze the baked bread, but you can freeze the dough and use it later.
7. Let the dough in the pan rise again until the dough has topped the pan by about an inch. It will look like a nice loaf of sandwich bread!
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Then brush the tops with some melted butter and let cool.
9. Once cooled, I wrap mine in plastic wrap and then in foil, if I freeze them.
A few side notes:
This is not a hard recipe at all, but it does take several hours since the bread is left to rise 3 different times. I usually try to do it on a Sunday when I'm doing things around the house.
The bread rises much quicker if your house is warm(er). So I usually don't have the A/C pumping when I make it. | <urn:uuid:1512ba9a-a47a-4bb6-bb38-d58656118821> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://lalifemiller.blogspot.com/2011/06/honey-wheat-bread.html | 2017-07-25T08:38:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425117.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725082441-20170725102441-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.934559 | 532 |

A Rat in a Cage
"Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage."
Smashing Pumpkins, Bullet with Butterfly Wings
He sits at his desk, breathing quietly in barely suppressed rage as Mr. Martin rails at him, his face flushed in a mixture of humiliation and anger. He wants nothing more than to leap up and strangle this asshole with his bare hands, but he fears the consequences, and in his heart, Willard knows that merely strangling his sadistic bastard of a boss will not give him the satisfaction he would get from seeing his rats devour him to the bones. He smiles inwardly at the thought, his eyes gleaming in the harsh light as he allows himself a brief moment of pleasure.
One that is rudely interrupted by Mr. Martin kicking his chair out from underneath him. Willard gasps in shock as he lands on the hard floor with an unpleasant jolt, then feels more rage and humiliation building inside him as his co workers start to laugh, enjoying his misfortune, and he feels like a caged animal, being poked at and humiliated by eager gawkers. He quickly scrambles to his feet; face flushed in righteous indignation, then turns and runs out, unable to bear the laughter and mockery any longer.
Willard walks off down the street, back to the only creatures that he feels any kinship with, and muses balefully on the fact that he is going from one cage to the next.
But soon, he thinks, his Army will be ready, and then, oh, and then-he will break free of his cages. | <urn:uuid:b309faff-e578-4b2f-91c0-e55574147565> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6656924/1/A-Rat-in-a-Cage | 2013-05-18T06:23:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00090-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975816 | 453 |

Koenig guesses that the catalyst behind complaints against him is a prejudice against rental property owners. "I think there's a strong bias in the city against renter properties," he says. "Not everyone can be a homeowner."
Koenig vehemently denies that his business on Minneapolis's North Side has left any scars. In fact, he claims just the opposite.
"We ended up identifying a need in the city where there's an enormous amount of families and children that need this type of housing," says Koenig. "So it looks like there's a win-win for everybody."
IN 2007, Derek Lowe cruised the Jordan neighborhood in north Minneapolis looking for a place to rent. He spotted a duplex on Hillside Avenue under construction and pulled over to chat up the contractors.
They worked for a new company called Pamiko, they told Lowe, and were looking for tenants. Soon after, Lowe moved into 1547 Hillside Ave., the problem property next door to the Haddys.
A few months later he got word that the company's owner, Paul Koenig, was looking for maintenance workers. Lowe put in an application and got the job.
At first, it seemed like a good gig, and the long-term answer to Lowe's employment problems.
"I figured, it's a brand new company. They're renovating all these houses. They're going to be around for a long time," says Lowe.
But before long, Lowe began to see ominous warning signs that his future employment might not be so secure. When he started, he was part of a whole team of maintenance workers. Then one day, it was just him.
In March 2008, Koenig lost a house to the bank. Lowe didn't think much of it until months later when Koenig started losing more houses.
In early September 2009, Lowe says, he was in the middle of a workday when he received a call from Koenig informing him that the company was losing most of its properties and no longer needed him, effective immediately.
"I was like, 'What? It's over today?'" remembers Lowe, whose girlfriend is expecting a baby. "I'm still trying to crawl out of the hole he left me in."
Things have been rough since Lowe lost his job. He's not eligible to receive unemployment, he says, because despite working 40 hours a week, Koenig employed him as an independent contractor.
In mid-January, Lowe received a letter from Drake Bank telling him that his house on Hillside will soon be up for sale at a foreclosure auction. He fears it's only a matter of a couple of months before he won't have a place to live.
Lowe's last contact with Koenig was in early January when received his W-2 tax form in the mail. The envelope was postmarked, "Orlando, Florida." | <urn:uuid:4111f781-96ab-4c4e-9b7f-6b002cbc39b6> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.citypages.com/2010-02-24/news/paul-koenig-the-one-man-housing-crisis/3/ | 2015-04-19T23:07:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246642012.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045722-00295-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987383 | 627 |
Welcome to Peel Urbanscapes, your destination for discussions about inequality, food, and housing in the Peel Region. This blog is part of the course SOC410 at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Senior Seminar in Inequality: Urban Politics and Ethnographic Writing. This sociology course, taught by Professor Hae Yeon Choo, introduces students to the core and cutting-edge scholarship in urban sociology. It does so by enabling students to discuss theories and empirical studies related to the issue of social inequality, with a focus on urban politics, including the issues of food, housing, gentrification, and neighborhood change. Key in this course is seeing how immigration, “ethnic” restaurants, and globalization are intricately connected to urban lives in the focal region of Peel and beyond. You can download the syllabus here.
Professor Hae Yeon Choo will provide guidance to students throughout their research process, and is well equipped to do so given that her research centers on gender, transnational migration, and citizenship to examine global social inequality. In her empirical and theoretical work, she employs an intersectional approach to social inequalities, integrating gender, race, and class in her analyses. Her recent book Decentering Citizenship: Gender, Labor, and Migrant Rights in South Korea (Stanford University Press, 2016) offer an account of how inequalities of gender, race, and class affect migrants’ practice of rights through a comparative study of three groups of Filipina women in South Korea—factory workers, wives of South Korean men, and hostesses at American military camptown clubs.
Lawrence Williams is a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto. He is currently the Project Coordinator at the Peel Social Lab, and will be assisting Professor Choo with the maintenance of this blog as well as with assisting students with their research projects in SOC410. His research interests lie primarily in sociological theory and the sociology of culture, with a focus on decision-making, identity, and careers. His current research focuses on how individuals working in the field of customer service understand their careers and find meaning at work.
Update: We are now open to diaspora food memories submissions from UTM students, faculty, and staff members. If you are interested in submitting a blog post, please e-mail Professor Hae Yeon Choo at Hy.Choo@utoronto.ca | <urn:uuid:aad808f7-94c9-4822-87f5-0ab0b9c7e93d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://peelurbanscapes.wordpress.com/ | 2017-10-18T21:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823153.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018214541-20171018234541-00750.warc.gz | en | 0.94178 | 495 |

"Strange network problems" can be caused by DUPLICATE IP ADDRESSES. If the workstation can send traffic off its segment to another subnet in our 138.26 class B address range but can not get to a location off campus, it is very possible that the workstation IP address has been incorrectly set to use the campus gateway (126.96.36.199) instead of its own address. Problems within your building network that affect only one or two machines can be caused by duplicate addresses, also.
One way to check for duplicate IP addresses is to look in the arp cache of the machine having problems. In Win 95/98 or NT, at the DOS prompt type the command "arp -a". For entry of 188.8.131.52 you should see a MAC address starting like 00-00-a2....
You can report the MAC address you find to UserServices, and we will help you track down the "offending" machine. | <urn:uuid:73302709-806f-4802-9c61-a8aeea176408> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.uab.edu/it/home/technology-solutions/email/itemlist/tag/off%20campus | 2017-01-19T10:53:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280587.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00460-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.925084 | 201 |
When the Wessex Scene was invited to a culinary preview of the Bridge Bar’s new menu, we did not know if the union team would manage to restore life to a space long declining in popularity. However, with some big ideas and £400,000, the bar has been completely transformed. New booths and seating areas make the venue a perfect lounging area, while swanky lighting, blinds and a sleek bar add to the sophisticated feel.
The menu does not disappoint either; the choice may be a little more up-market but the prices continue to reflect the student budget rather than the quality of what’s on offer. Student staples have been spruced up into legitimate dining material. The reliable chip butty comes as a make-your-own job and the traditional kebab has been revolutionised, served open in layers of tender meat, sauce and pitta bread.
Investment in the kitchen has been essential in the revamp. Better equipment, refrigerated storage spaces and a brand new coffee machine will help to deliver high quality food and drink around the clock. A new hatch has also been installed so as to provide sustenance for those craving snacks after a Friday night at the union.
The team behind the relaunch wanted to achieve class and value: our experience suggests they will deliver. We tried tempura prawns, fishcakes and duck terrine, all of which were priced at £3.50 or less, before trying the Bridge salad, the Sizzling Platter (likely to be a firm favourite with the more carnivorous students) and the more exotic Chicken Espanol. All main meals come with a choice of potatoes or chips and vegetables or salad. The taster was concluded by a lemon layer cake, priced at a tantalisingly good £2.50.
The refurbishment has gone beyond aesthetics to encompass further union projects too. Student kitchen staff have been trained by the chef to create the made-to-order meals and leftover ingredients will be no more as staff hope to design meals such as soup of the day around the produce already used and stocked.
SUSU President Sam Ling is excited by the prospect of the changed venue. He said:
“In general, the union is perceived as an undergraduate entity. We were influenced by international students, the postgraduate community and spaces in other unions when we came up with the new design. Our primary goal was to create a space which resonates with a more mature outlook. We have absolutely achieved that.”
The proof will be in the pudding but it appears that the new Bridge could have success in line with that achieved by SUSU’s nightlife relaunch. In the past student media has been strong in its criticism of the union’s activities; it’s only fair that we’re equally as vocal in our positive feedback when we see a job well done.
Students should be able to sample the new menu from lunch time on September 19. | <urn:uuid:5c932f95-c4f9-4519-b64a-486d5323c491> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.wessexscene.co.uk/headline/2012/09/18/the-new-bridge-bar-menu-the-icing-on-the-cake/ | 2017-08-22T22:40:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886116921.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170822221214-20170823001214-00543.warc.gz | en | 0.969141 | 614 |
New investigative show’s elegant look builds on The Brand Gallery’s earlier work for the network’s news division.
Greenwich, CT— The complicated world of Washington politics is transformed into a graceful system of curved glass in The Brand Gallery’s elegant main title and in-show graphics package for Sinclair Broadcast Group’s new Sunday investigative news show, “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson.” The design scheme employs red, white and blue tinted translucent arcs, superimposed over a stylized image of the U.S. Capitol as a means of communicating the new show’s focus on “accountability in the public and private sectors,” and to tie it in with the broader Sinclair brand and reinforce its commitment to investigative reporting.
“This is serious journalism dedicated to serious topics that impact all of us,” says Scott Livingston, Vice President of News for Sinclair Broadcast Group.”
Debuting this month, “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” will feature the former CBS Washington correspondent and a team of award-winning journalists taking on “untouchable topics in a fearless way.” The 30-minute show will initially reach 43 million households through Sinclair’s portfolio of television stations.
“Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” is The Brand Gallery’s second recent assignment for Sinclair Broadcast Group Last year, the creative boutique produced a modular on-air package for news casts in 51 local markets. The package features two design concepts based on the Curves and Smart Glass themes. The handsome package provides a unified, contemporary brand image for the Sinclair Broadcast Group as a whole, while lending itself to easy customization by local stations.
The “Full Measure” graphics build on the on-air look of the news group while adding new elements specific to the show. “We employed elements from the Curves and Smart Glass package to create a visual environment representing the complex web of politics in Washington,” explains The Brand Gallery Executive Creative Director Iain Greenway. “It feels architectural and spacious.”
Greenway noted that glass is a metaphor for the show’s role in “reflecting” and “magnifying” issues of current national interest. “We took the original design concept to the next level,” says The Brand Gallery Producer Alison Burke. “We had fun with it and made it more personal to Sharyl and her show.”
Creative elements in the package include the main title, bumpers, lower-thirds and backgrounds.

Thomson Tax & Accounting products are designed for professional production work. System requirements are based on the assumption that professional accounting firms replace their computer hardware and operating systems approximately every three years. While products may operate on less powerful hardware and operating systems, Thomson-Reuters does not believe it will perform at a level suitable for production work in those environments. Of course, as processing speed and RAM are increased, software performance will also improve.
We recommend workstation class computers, which generally offer higher levels of performance than desktop models when running business applications. A full list of system requirements are posted at the corporate web site.

Clippers overcome Ross' 51
Forward matches Raptors' franchise record set by Carter
Published 11:51 pm, Saturday, January 25, 2014
Ross matched Vince Carter's franchise record set 14 years ago and nearly doubled his previous career high of 26 points against Portland on Jan. 2, 2013.
The second-year guard connected on 16 of 29 field-goal attempts, made 10 of 17 from 3-point range and went 9 for 10 at the free-throw line. But he missed his final foul shot with 4 seconds left, failing to top the 51 points Carter scored in a 103-102 win over Phoenix on Feb. 27, 2000.
Thunder 103, 76ers 91: Kevin Durant had 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in his return from a shoulder injury to lead Oklahoma City to its seventh straight win. Durant, the NBA's leading scorer, has scored at least 30 points in his last 10 games.
Bulls 89, Bobcats 87: D.J. Augustin scored 15 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter.

Rising rates have homeowners rethinking variable rates
When the average discounted rate for five-year fixed mortgages recently zoomed up to 3.59%—up from as low as 2.64% in April—first-time buyers and mortgage holders took notice. In the previous few years, both interest rates and the spread between fixed and variable mortgages were low, making fixed-rate mortgages the more appealing choice. But with five-year variable mortgages now about 1% lower than fixed, prospective homeowners and those close to mortgage renewal are faced with a dilemma as they anxiously try to anticipate whether rates will continue to spike. Should shrewd consumers opt for a variable rate, given the recent upward trend in fixed rates?
First, a reality check: Rates for mortgage terms of three years or more are still lower than they were in 2011, says TD Bank economist Diana Petramala. Rates for mortgage terms of two years or less haven’t budged yet either. That said, just because mortgage rates are still low today, that may not be the case in the near future. In fact, economists such as Petramala expect rates to climb gradually by up to 2% over the next five years.
Vancouver mortgage broker Rob McLister ran the numbers to compare today’s variable rate against a five-year fixed rate based on economists’ speculations. If rates do slowly climb to 5.59% by 2018, both mortgages come out more or less equal. “People think there’s a lot more risk than there actually is,” he says. A good strategy for homeowners, he says, is to take out a variable mortgage and use the savings when compared with a fixed rate to make extra principal payments. This way you are used to paying extra should rates rise, and if they don’t, you’ll come out further ahead thanks to the lower rates and extra payments.
Schulich School of Business professor Moshe Milevsky advises consumers not to obsess about the spread between variable and fixed. Instead, figure out what the security of a fixed rate costs, and whether you require that insurance in the first place. “Think of the magnitude of the spread as an insurance premium,” says Milevsky. In other words, if your job is unstable and you’re leveraged to the hilt, the security of fixed makes sense. But if there’s no pink slip in your future and plenty of slack in the budget, “go ahead and float.” | <urn:uuid:4c46adae-0271-4eb3-bd88-75ea4095a552> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://www.zoocasa.com/blog/time-to-lock-in-your-mortgage/ | 2023-06-01T16:49:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224647895.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601143134-20230601173134-00033.warc.gz | en | 0.962658 | 530 |
Grilled Pork Chops with Coffee Rub
November 20, 2009
"Coffee and pork chops? I'm not eating that...". My wife was hesitant, to say the least. To be honest, I was a little unsure as well, but I had heard about this rub from enough people that I knew I had to give it a shot. I faked some confidence and convinced my wife to allow me to try this concoction. It took me a few iterations to get the combination right, but I ended up with a rub that really was awesome. The coffee really isn't overpowering at all. It adds a great subtle flavor that really goes well with the chili powder and brown sugar. Still with me? Curious? You should be, let's walk you through this and broaden your dry rub horizons!
- Prep: 15 mins
- Cook: 15 mins
- Yields: 4 Chops
1Mix all of the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.
2Generously rub the dry rub into the pork chops and then allow the chops to sit on the counter for about 20 minutes while you get the grill ready.
3Light the grill and heat to about medium high heat.
4Place the pork chops on the grill. For thinner cuts, 1 inch or less, grill them over direct heat with the lid open. They should cook rather quickly, about 5 - 8 minutes per side (depending on the temperature of the grill obviously). For thicker cuts, grill with a little lower heat and close the lid. The same times should apply, but you may need to go longer. You can check the doneness using a pair of tongs. The more firm the meat is, the more it has cooked through.
5Remove the pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them.
So did I win my wife over with this recipe? I'd say so. I actually only rubbed 2 of the 4 pork chops for the first batch. Once she tasted a bite, she gave me the go-ahead to rub down the other 2 chops with some java goodness. Yep, this one's a keeper... | <urn:uuid:5426eacf-6ae4-41d8-92ba-79010cb1ae6a> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.grillingcompanion.com/recipe/grilled-pork-chops-with-coffee-rub/ | 2018-02-22T05:06:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814002.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20180222041853-20180222061853-00649.warc.gz | en | 0.964906 | 442 |
To Hiring Manager:
I was recently laid off from my position at Arbys for stealing, sexual harassment, making racist jokes, and being allergic to overtime.
I was wondering if you guys are hiring. I have been in the fashion industry for many years I was head designer at Jordache, Cross Colors, and came up with the name FUBU people think it means “For Us By Us” but it actually means “For Ukrainians By Ukrainians”. I’m also the inventor of the doublesided corndog. I do graffiti too, my tag name is Lark Scooter because I weigh 400lbs and that’s what I cruise around on. You can see my work in any Home Town Buffet bathroom from here to Bakersfield. I have to wear mesh shirts during the summer to keep cool so please do not stare at my third nipple.
I also took an on-line course called “Bedazzle your way to millions”. This should come in handy because I notice that you guys don’t have any hats with fake jewels on them, also I don’t see any denim hats in your line either. What gives, no love for Canadians? I can only work part-time because I am quite the entrepreneur and have many business interests I do erotic foot massages on Thursday and Friday nights but my passion is kids and animals so I also breed and fight pit bulls and I have a daycare center on the same piece property. I can start A.S.A.P. that means as soon as possible. They about to lock me up again unless I get a job. Please hook a brotha up.
“You’re hired, We’ve reviewed your skills and qualifications and feel that you’d be a perfect fit for our Bakersfield flagship store opening this holiday. The store will feature a “left-handed” graff wall. All tags have to be thrown up using your left hand. The patent pending Official hat stretcher and super visor molder will be there. In fact we are coming out with a five panel hat that you will be the project manager for that the ends of the visor are molded so extreme that the ends actually touch each other. Total taco. Sales might be a little slow in Bakersfield for our hats at first so we will be asking you to take whatever we don’t sell during the week to the flea market and set up shop every saturday and sunday. You’ll be right next to the dude that sells Mac Dre and gangsta Popeye XXXL t-shirt dresses.

For everyday aches, pains and slouchy moments, this Back Posture Corrector won’t disappoint. With a decent upper shoulder brace, backed up by a basic lumbar support belt, you also get magnets to help promote blood flow.
The Flipcase is also affordable and lightweight enough for everyday use. Plus, there’s added ergonomic padding (breathable foam) to keep your delicate areas comfortable and snug. This back support has been designed to help you deal with the strain of slouching or a slumped back, and the whole device is just slight enough to wear under your clothes (although there is bulk at the back). The waist belt gives you lumbar support, while the magnets in the spine panel are a nice extra touch and can help with relieving strains and pain. | <urn:uuid:49972f55-658c-4256-b9ee-2175b79b10bf> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.wnxms.com/flipcase-back-posture-corrector | 2021-09-23T00:41:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057403.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20210922223752-20210923013752-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.91285 | 167 |
Vita Group delivers
Since we first recommended VTG at $0.70 in March 2014, chief executive Maxine Horne and her team have delivered on every promise. The end result is a share price of $2.97 that has increased by more than four times in two years. The share price increase has been a combination of large earnings growth and a P/E ratio that has doubled.
The success has been driven by the decision to close the non-core stores including Next Byte, Fone Zone and One Zero, instead of prioritising the opportunity to optimise the Telstra branded retail stores. In more recent times additional growth has been achieved from Vita’s small-to-medium business (SMB) and enterprise channels. The company has continued to benefit from investment in people and technology.
Moving forward, Maxine Horne has reinforced her views that the company’s best opportunities include:
- > Optimising the retail portfolio – physically and through performance initiatives
- > Driving scale and profitability in the SMB channel
- > Leveraging the foundations that are being developed in the enterprise channel
First half review
When looking at this interim result, there are two one-off factors impacting the accounts. Firstly it was announced in December that the Apple Next Byte business was to be closed down in February, and the second factor is the now discontinued ESP warranty and swap program. Reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was up 25 per cent to $33.5 million from continuing operations. Including Next Byte, EBITDA was $29.5m, well ahead of guidance in December of between $25.5m and $27.5m. Underlying EBITDA from continuing operations, which excludes the benefits of the now discontinued ESP warranty, was $30.4m – which is a 46 per cent increase on the prior comparable year.
Like-for-like EBITDA grew 12 per cent, with the balance of growth coming from the physical portfolio optimisation.
Margins were slightly reduced due to lower ESP revenue (due to expire in June 2016), the re-allocation of some support costs to cost of goods sold in business channels, and a higher proportion of hardware in the product mix. Despite this, productivity improved with expenses down as a proportion of revenues, reflecting the investments made in staff development and new and improved technologies.
Group revenues from continuing operations grew 23 per cent, reflecting strong performance from all strategic segments. The retail business – consisting mostly of the Telstra-branded stores – grew 22 per cent, benefiting from 21 per cent like-for-like sales growth and new additions to the portfolio from the prior year. The contribution from Fone Zone and One Zero was reduced, partly offsetting the Telstra store growth.
The SMB channel grew 51 per cent, with the addition of five Telstra Business Centres (TBC) and improved like-for-like performance ( 12 per cent). The enterprise channel grew 13 per cent, benefiting from account wins and growth in the managed services offering. Sprout accessories grew by 28 per cent in line with Vita’s strong retail performance and expansion of third-party distribution.
The balance sheet remains in excellent shape with no debt and $10.6m cash. Capex of $13.5m was incurred during the period, mainly towards new Telstra Business Centres and strategic IT investments.
The interim dividend of 5.76 cents per share was up 40 per cent on the prior year. The payout ratio was maintained at a sustainable 65 per cent.
For a long time one of the reasons VTG traded at such a large PE discount to the market was due to the company’s reliance on the ongoing health of the Telstra relationship. But as the company has continued to execute its strategic plan, it has become clear that Telstra benefit from the relationship to such an extent that it is hard to see them wanting to break the agreement.
There are 360 Telstra stores in Australia, with Vita owning 100, Telstra 80 and the other 180 being independently owned. The current agreement involves Vita being capped at 100 retail stores. Given Vita’s track record of improving the performance of Telstra operated stores, if this number was to increase it would be a driver of shareholder value.
One of the key reasons Vita have been so successful is that the company has a greater ability than Telstra to foster a performance based culture. The investment in the development of people and leadership promotes highly motivated and incentivised staff.
Vita group remains well placed to continue growing from the continued optimisation of the retail stores, and greater emphasis on the growth of Telstra business centres and enterprise. But with success comes high expectations, and it will be difficult for the team to maintain recent growth rates. We maintain our HOLD recommendation with a $2.90 valuation.
AMA: Panel driven growth
The highlight of the first half was the acquisition of Woods Group and Gemini Accident Repair Centres. Gemini was the largest independent accident repair group in Australia operating with sites across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia. The purchase significantly broadened AMA’s geographical exposure, with Gemini having eight centres in NSW, seven in Victoria, eight in WA, and 18 in Queensland. Previously AMA had 28 of its 29 panel shops in Victoria.
Gemini also brought $150 million of additional revenue to the group on top of AMA’s prior $100m. As well as the obvious synergy and efficiency benefits, it also removes one of the main competitors who was trying to consolidate the smaller panel shops. Although the amount of panel body shops has reduced from 6000 to 3500 there are still significant opportunities for consolidation with the industry view that it will eventually reduce to well below 1000 shops.
As part of the Gemini acquisition, the AMA management team has been strengthened. Industry expert and former Gemini Executive Chairman, Andy Hopkins has become chief executive officer of the panel operations. Ashley Killick was appointed as chief financial officer and appointments of Brian Austin and Leith Nicholson as non-executive directors further strengthened the board.
Further smaller acquisitions
On January 4 AMA acquired Micra Accident Repair Centre, which is based in Launceston. Micra has a strong relationship with Suncorp, and was acquired for an initial $2m consideration. The “earn out” will be capped at a maximum of four times the normalised EBIT.
Further on the same date, AMA acquired BDS Panels; which is a panel operation based in Mornington. The business operates on a large two acre property, providing opportunity for expansion and was purchased for $900,000. This represents a very attractive earnings multiple of 2.5 times post synergy EBITDA.
On February 1, the group acquired Keswick Crash Repairs, located in Adelaide and specialising in the panel repair of Mercedes Benz. The purchase price for this business was $300,000.
Although the consolidation of panel shops remains the key focus for AMA, there are still smaller growth opportunities through the other three divisions:
1. In Vehicle Protection Products & Accessories, moderate growth was achieved despite the impact from the reorganisation of the operations of East Coast Bullbars and Custom Alloy. Moving forward this change is expected to no longer be a drag and instead promote growth.
2. Automotive Electrical and Cable Accessories has performed well in a difficult market with new product initiatives delivering alternate revenue streams.
3. After the disposal of non-core Perth Brake Parts the Automotive Component Remanufacturing comprises the Fluid Drive operation. Although a very small division of the business, it is expected to continue growing.
Net profit before tax for the six month period increased to $7.6m which is a 21.9 per cent increase. As expected the result was impacted by several large non-cash abnormal items, for example an employee equity plan expense and business acquisition costs.
These items also distort the effective tax rate, however this is also a one-off effect. The reported net profit after tax of $4.26m was slightly below the same time last year of $4.4m.
Revenue increased 155 per cent to $107.8m, reported EBITDA increased 43.2 per cent to $9.57m and normalised earnings per share increased 12.9 per cent to 1.48 cents. An interim dividend of 0.5 cents will be paid, representing an approximate payout ratio of 33 percent.
Gemini only contributed three months for the first half, and in combination with the other acquisitions AMA is set for a bigger second half. Although not fully realised chief executive Ray Malone stated that the synergy benefits have exceeded his expectations.
Some of the difficult conditions AMA is up against include:
- Downward pressure on pricing, experienced as insurers try to protect their margins. Although in isolation this is a negative, it is one of the key drivers providing AMA with attractive acquisition opportunities.
- The low Australian dollar means further cost pressure on raw material purchases, but AMA will continue to crystallise synergy benefits from acquisitions.
Despite the step change in earnings from acquisitions, AMA has still provided fairly specific guidance for full year EBITDA of $28-29m (normalised).
Panel consolidation opportunity
As previously discussed, AMA is ideally placed to benefit from the fragmented nature of the panel industry in Australia. After eight acquisitions in the last 12 months, Ray Malone certainly has no shortage of his favourite work: That is, integrating finance, IT, HR and procurement to the benefit of the broader group. Malone has very detailed knowledge on what savings can be achieved from an acquisition, and his broad industry knowledge means he knows his competitors well. This reduces the risk of negative surprises after an acquisition.
AMA maintains very strong relationships with the major insurers (Suncorp, IAG) and prestige car manufacturers. This is critical, given the insurers are reducing the amount of panel operators that they accredit.
The guidance range of $28-29m EBITDA is slightly below our prior forecasts. However at 82 cents, the FY16 normalised PE ratio of 20, remains an attractive buying opportunity, given the 50 per cent growth that will flow through with a full year from acquisitions in FY17. The FY17 multiple is currently 14, and the stock remains at a discount to our slightly reduced $1.05 valuation. | <urn:uuid:10a59a07-d3a2-4222-a517-7aa5c7238d71> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://www.investsmart.com.au/recommendations/vita-leverages-telstra-ama-sparks-growth/137868 | 2018-04-23T05:43:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945793.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180423050940-20180423070940-00010.warc.gz | en | 0.966348 | 2,138 |
Dental Implant Failure & Salvage – Arlington Heights, IL
Saving Your Newly Rebuilt Smile Whenever Possible
Unlike many other tooth replacement solutions, dental implants are incredibly successful even after a decade. However, on very rare occasion, dental implants can fail. There are a few reasons this can happen, but there is no need to worry! With our implant failure and salvage treatment, we may be able to fix your failed dental implant in Arlington Heights and bring your smile back to its full potential. Read on to learn more.
Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
The most common cause of implant failure is peri-implantitis, which is an infection that destroys the connective tissue around the implant, weakening the jawbone structure that supports it. Usually, this is caused by poor oral hygiene like lack of brushing and flossing or gum disease.
Additionally, your dental implants may fail due to factors like:
- Tobacco use
- Issues with osseointegration
- Allergic reactions
- Sinus problems
- Preexisting medical conditions
Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants
Dental implants can fail at any time. Early implant failure occurs during the 3-to-6-month healing period after your surgery. However, later implant failure can develop years or even decades after your initial treatment. While routine checkups at our office will allow us to catch any issues early on, you can be on the lookout for these common warning signs of a failed dental implant:
- Severe pain or discomfort
- Receding gums around the implant
- Loose or shifting implant
- Difficult chewing on or around the affected area
- Swollen gums
- Teeth grinding
- Sudden allergic reaction
- Implant micro-movements
How Dental Implant Salvage Works
If you suspect there is a problem with your dental implants in Arlington Heights, contact our office right away! Oral health conditions will only get more severe and expensive if left untreated, which is why it’s vital to visit us if you suspect implant failure. Usually, the earlier we can catch the problem, the higher our chances are of successfully salvaging your dental implant.
First, we will examine your mouth and learn more about your symptoms. In some cases, we can save your implant with a deep cleaning, antibiotics, and other conservative ways of controlling infection. If the damage to the implant or the surrounding area is too extensive, we may have to completely remove the implant. After we restore your oral health, sometimes with the help of bone grafting, we may be able to place a new dental implant.

Most current astronomical archive services are based on an HTML/ CGI architecture where users submit HTML forms via a browser and CGI programs operating under a web server process the requests. Most services return an HTML result page with URL links to the result files or, for longer jobs, return a message indicating that email will be sent when the job is done. This paradigm has a few serious shortcomings. First, it is all too common for something to go wrong and for the user to never hear about the job again. Second, for long and complicated jobs there is often important intermediate information that would allow the user to adjust the processing. Finally, unless some sort of custom queueing mechanism is used, background jobs are started immediately upon receiving the CGI request. When there are many such requests the server machine can easily be overloaded and either slow to a crawl or crash. Request Object Management Environment (ROME) is a collection of middleware components being developed under the National Virtual Observatory Project to provide mechanism for managing long jobs such as computationally intensive statistical analysis requests or the generation of large scale mosaic images. Written as EJB objects within the open-source JBoss applications server, ROME receives processing requests via a servelet interface, stores them in a DBMS using JDBC, distributes the processing (via queuing mechanisms) across multiple machines and environments (including Grid resources), manages realtime messages from the processing modules, and ensures proper user notification. The request processing modules are identical in structure to standard CGIprograms – though they can optionally implement status messaging – and can be written in any language. ROME will persist these jobs across failures of processing modules, network outages, and even downtime of ROME and the DBMS, restarting them as necessary.

NEC has developed its own audio coding algorithm using MPEG AAC (Advanced Audio coding) technology.
AAC is supported within some 3G specifications. It claims to offer CD-quality sound at 96kbps – NEC claims its new codec further decreases the required bit-rate, while maintaining the same audio quality.
The company claims that 128kbps of stereo CD quality (MP3) can be encoded in only 48kbps using its codec.
"An approximate reduction of 50 per cent from MPEG-4 AAC's current requirement of 96kbps. The new MPEG-4 AAC Ext.1 coding technology also supports high compatibility with current MPEG-4 AAC."
This technology has been developed primarily for use in mobile devices. It helps manufacturers in this sector by decreasing the space audio files may require while "maintaining current standards in sound quality."
NEC will demonstrate this technology at 3GSM World Congress and examine feasibility for adoption into mobile services for real-time, high audio-quality music delivery services.
Apple employs the AAC codec within the iTunes Music Store. | <urn:uuid:0b6027c5-2800-4727-90ae-e78214a13bea> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/mac/nec-tweaks-aac-codec-7973/ | 2019-03-24T09:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203409.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20190324083551-20190324105551-00060.warc.gz | en | 0.884759 | 219 |

Oscar-winning actor Robin Williams was found dead in his California home Monday. He was 63.
His death is under investigation, according to a press release from the Marin County Sheriff's Office. Emergency personnel arrived at Williams' home in Tiburon, Calif., at noon Monday.
The sheriff's office suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, the release said, "but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made."
Williams' publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said Williams had been "battling severe depression of late," according to the Los Angeles Times. "This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time."
Williams discussed his battle with addiction and how he started drinking again after more than two decades of sobriety, in this 2010 interview with Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Kerry O'Brien:
NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates has more on Williams' career for our Newscast Desk:
"Williams began his career as a standup comedian and voice-over actor. He shot to fame in 1978 as a twinkly-eyed alien opposite Pam Dawber in the hit TV comedy Mork & Mindy. Williams would go on to receive an Oscar for his work in Good Will Hunting. And he would establish the annual fundraiser Comic Relief with fellow comedians Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg."
Williams had a couple films in the works at the time of his death, Entertainment Weekly reports. The third installment of Night at the Museum is due out in December and he had signed on to do a sequel of Mrs. Doubtfire.
President Obama gave his condolences Monday:
"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin's family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams."
For a peek back in time, take a look at this New York Times review of Williams' standup in 1979, which starts with, "It's extraordinary that anyone as funny as Robin Williams can also create the impression of being so nice."
We also dug into NPR's archives, and pulled up these interviews and reviews of Williams' work:
-- On Fresh Air in 2006, after the release of the film The Night Listener.
-- Bob Mondello's 2006 review of the movie Man of the Year.
-- Jeff Lunden's 2011 story about the Broadway play Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.

It’s a story I’ve been guilty of treating a little too uncritically myself: “In the Middle Ages people drank beer rather than water because the water wasn’t safe.” But is that correct? No, not at all, according to the American food history blogger Jim Chevallier, who calls it The Great Medieval Water Myth
Chevallier declares (and a big hat-tip to Boak and Bailey for pointing me in his direction):
“Not only are there specific – and very casual – mentions of people drinking water all through the Medieval era, but there seems to be no evidence that they thought of it as unhealthy except when (as today) it overtly appeared so. Doctors had slightly more nuanced views, but certainly neither recommended against drinking water in general nor using alcohol to avoid it.”
He quotes the book Misconceptions About the Middle Ages, by Stephen Harris and Bryon L. Grigsby, which says: “The myth of constant beer drinking is also false; water was available to drink in many forms (rivers, rain water, melted snow) and was often used to dilute wine.” And he concludes:
“There is no specific reason then to believe that people of the time drank proportionately less water than we do today; rather, since water was not typically sold, transported, taxed, etc., there simply would have been no reason to record its use. Did people in the time prefer alcoholic drinks? Probably, and for the same reason most people today drink liquids other than water: variety and flavor. A young man in a tenth century Saxon colloquy is asked what he drinks and answers: “Beer if I have it or water if I have no beer.” This is a clear expression of both being comfortable with water and preferring beer.
It is certainly true that water-drinking was considerably more widespread than many modern commentators would seem to believe, particularly by the less-well-off. In 13th century London, as the population grew, and the many wells and watercourses that had previously supplied Londoners, such as the Walbrook, the Oldbourn (or Holborn) and the Langbourn (which arose in the fen or bog that Fenchurch was erected near), were built around, covered over, filled in and otherwise made undrinkable, to quote John Stowe’s Survey of London of 1603,
“they were forced to seek sweet Waters abroad; whereof some, at the Request of King Henry the Third, in the 21st Year of his Reign , were (for the Profit of the City… to wit, for the Poor to Drink [my emphasis], and the Rich to dress their Meat) granted to the Citizens, and their Successors … with Liberty to convey Water from the Town of Tyburn, by Pipes of Lead into the City.”
The “town of Tyburn” was the small settlement near what is now Marble Arch, about two and a half miles from St Paul’s cathedral, which took its name from the Tyburn River, the middle of three rivers that flowed down from the heights of Hampstead to the Thames (the others being the Westbourne and the Fleet). The water that was taken by pipe to the City came, depending on which source – pun – you believe in, either from the Tyburn river, or six wells at Tyburn village. The “Pipes of lead” eventually became the Great Conduit.
But is it true that “Doctors … certainly neither recommended against drinking water in general nor using alcohol to avoid it”? There were, in fact, influential voices who were not 100 per cent in favour of promoting water over ale. St Hildegard of Bingen, writing in the middle of the 12th century in her book Cause et Cure (“Causes and Cures”), said: “Whether one is healthy or infirm, if one is thirsty after sleeping one should drink wine or beer but not water. For water might damage rather than help one’s blood and humours …beer fattens the flesh and … lends a beautiful colour to the face. Water, however, weakens a person.”
Hildegard’s Physica Sacra of circa 1150 also has a fair bit to say about water and health, and while she says (in the section on salt) “It is more healthful and sane for a thirsty person to drink water, rather than wine, to quench his thirst”, she certainly seemed to have had some qualms about water. For example, talking about pearls, she said: “Pearls are born in certain salty river waters … Take these pearls and place them in water. All the slime in the water will gather around the pearls and the top of the water will be purified and cleansed. A person who has fever should frequently drink the top of this water and he will be better.” That would seem to suggest that she did not think water-drinking was automatically good for sick people without the water being purified.
She also wrote: “One whose lungs ail in any way … should not drink water, since it produces mucus around the lungs … Beer does not harm him much, because it has been boiled,” and someone who has taken a purgative “may drink wine in moderation but should avoid water.”
In addition, in the specific section in the Physica Sacra on water, Hildegard commented on the waters of various German rivers, saying of the Saar: “Its water is healthful neither for drinking fresh nor for being taken cooked in food.” On the Rhine, she wrote: “Its water, taken uncooked, aggravates a healthy person … if the same water is consumed in foods or drinks, or if it is poured over a person’s flesh in a bath or in face-washing, it puffs up the flesh, making it swollen, making it dark-looking.” The Main was all right: “Its water, consumed in food or drink … makes the skin and flesh clean and smooth. It does not change a person or make him sick.” However, the Danube was not recommended: “Its water is not healthy for food or drink since its harshness injures a person’s internal organs.”
Hildegard, therefore, did not universally condemn water, and indeed praised it as a thirst-quencher, but she certainly felt people had to be careful of water, on occasions, when drinking it.
Four centuries after Hildegard, another doctor, Andrew Boorde, was even less enthusiastic about water. In his Dyetary of Helth, first published in 1542, Boorde wrote that
“water is not holsome, sole by it selfe, for an Englysshe man … water is colde, slowe, and slacke of dygestyon. The best water is rayne-water, so that it be clene and purely taken. Next to it is ronnyng water, the whiche doth swyftly ronne from the Eest in to the west upon stones or pybles. The thyrde water to be praysed, is ryver or broke [brook] water, the which is clere, ronnyng on pibles and gravayl. Standynge waters, the whiche be refresshed with a fresshe spryng, is commendable; but standyng waters, and well-waters to the whiche the sonne hath no reflyxyon, althoughe they be lyghter than other ronnyng waters be, yet they be not so commendable. And let every man be ware of all waters the whiche be standynge, and be putryfyed with froth, duckemet, and mudde; for yf they bake, or brewe, or dresse meate with it, it shall ingender many infyrmytes.”
So: water – your doctor doesn’t necessarily recommend it at all times and in all places. But it certainly wasn’t condemned outright, and there is no doubt water was drunk, by the poor, and probably by others as well. The records of St Paul’s Cathedral in the 13th century show that tenants of the manors owned by the cathedral who performed work for their landlord, known as a precaria, were supplied with food and drink on the day, but sometimes it was a precaria ad cerevisiam, “with beer”, and sometimes a precaria ad aquam, “with water”. So the bald statement “In the Middle Ages people drank beer rather than water because the water wasn’t safe” is indeed, as Jim Chevallier says, plain wrong.
On the other hand, they drank a lot of ale (and, once hops arrived, beer as well). Those same accounts of St Paul’s Cathedral in London, in the late 13th century indicate an allowance of one “bolla” or gallon of ale per person a day. Still, while monks, canons, workers in religious institutions and the like might have been that lucky, I doubt strongly that every peasant drank that much, all the time. Indeed, there is a very good argument that the country simply could not have grown enough grain to give everyone a gallon of beer a day, every day, while also providing enough grain to meet the demand for bread as well.
The high allowance for beer in monasteries certainly suggests there was little water-drinking going on behind monastery walls: but out in the wider world, where brewing in the early Middle Ages, outside big institutions, cities or large towns, probably generally relied upon householders with the occasional capital surplus to buy some malted grain, knock up a batch of ale and stick the traditional bush up outside the front door to let their neighbours know to pop round for a pint, it seems likely alcohol was rather more of a treat than a regular daily occurrence. Since there was no tea, no coffee or fruit juices, and milk would not have lasted long, that left only one other drink for the thirsty peasant – water. | <urn:uuid:6a08dd6b-7031-41ba-bd77-4b7945f5677f> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://zythophile.wordpress.com/category/beer-myths/ | 2014-03-09T11:03:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999677441/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060757-00010-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974174 | 2,165 |

Body and Mind-Sex and also Tension
Have you ever wondered that the role of testosterone in enhancing sex drive and also improving erections in guys can not be its only role? There are many various other duties as well as biological effects of testosterone apart from its known existence in physical liquids. It has been blamed for excess loss of hair (medical name-Androgenetic alopecia) although the molecular actions of loss of hair in males and females are not completely comprehended.
This hormonal agent is produced in the testes of males and also the ovaries of women, although men generate even more of it. Numerous type of mental habits are not only based on influence by atmosphere as well as genes yet also everyday hormone adjustments. Stress and anxiety can likewise hinder testosterone synthesis as well as thus lead to reduced levels of it secretion.
Some products news has lately emerged. Current research studies have actually shown that to maintain stress and anxiety away you need to often involve in penetrative penal-vaginal sex. Many people from all strolls of life discover that under stress, they do not have the desire to have sex and also even produces undesirable side effects such as sexual disorder.
A dazzling research study (Organic Psychology, volume 71, web page 214) showed that sex however even more preferably sexual intercourse is a lot a lot more reliable in combating tension after that other sex-related task such as self pleasure. As some of us are nervous concerning speaking in public or stage shock as its commonly called are being suggested to have sex (not on the phase of course) for the tension relaxing effect.
When a couple makes love the neurotransmitter oxytocin released unwinds the body as well as reduces blood stress for this reason additionally preventing stress, it see page is assumed. Oxytocin is produced by the mind as well as various other organs including the ovaries as well as testes. It is believed that oxytocin is considerably reduced during the tension and mixture of the hormonal agent soothes stress and anxiety in pet designs thus recommending a duty in controling some physiological actions to stress.
In the light of such elegant studies as well as absence of public tension programmes such as screening by federal government companies targeted at improving over here acknowledgment, therapy, and reducing tension as well as anxiety primary prevention has actually come to be essential. As tension as well as anxiety has become a typical condition with significant many undesirable negative effects both in males and females, penetrative penal-vaginal sex could be a main stress and anxiety prevention approach.
A fantastic research (Biological Psychology, volume 71, page 214) revealed that sex but more preferably sexual intercourse is a lot more efficient in combating anxiety after that other sexual activity such as self pleasure. It is assumed when a couple makes love the natural chemical oxytocin launched loosens up the body and decreases blood stress hence also stopping stress and anxiety. It is thought that oxytocin is significantly decreased during the tension as well as infusion of the hormone eases anxiety in pet designs consequently recommending a function in controling some physical reactions to tension. | <urn:uuid:49bd82d1-dafc-49bf-882d-aa6b9bbf8823> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://juliansuut529blog.suomiblog.com/body-and-mind-sex-and-also-tension-3073526 | 2017-10-20T12:19:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824104.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020120608-20171020140608-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.973464 | 623 |
- Voiced pharyngeal fricative
The voiced pharyngeal approximant/fricative is a type of
consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabetthat represents it is IPA|ʕ, and the equivalent X-SAMPAsymbol is ?.
Although traditionally placed in the fricative row of the IPA chart, IPA| [ʕ] is usually an approximant. The IPA symbol itself is ambiguous, but no language has a distinct fricative and approximant at this place of articulation.
Features of the voiced pharyngeal approximant/fricative:
manner of articulationis approximant, or occasionally fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a channel at the place of articulation that is not usually narrow enough to cause turbulence.
place of articulationis pharyngeal which means it is articulated with the root of the tongueagainst the pharynx.
phonationtype is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
* It is an
oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
* Because it is pronounced in the throat, without a component in the mouth, the central/lateral dichotomy does not apply.
airstream mechanismis pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottisor the mouth.
Pharyngeal consonants are not widespread. Many languages claiming to have pharyngeal fricatives or approximants turn out on closer inspection to have
epiglottal consonants instead. For example, the candidate IPA|ʕ sound in Arabic and standard Hebrew (Israelis of eastern European background generally pronounce this as a glottal stop) has been variously described as a voiced epiglottal fricative, an epiglottal approximant, or a pharyngealized glottal stop.
Harvcoltxt|Thelwall|1990 argues that Arabic descriptions of a voiced pharyngeal fricative are incorrect and that Arabic varieties instead possess a pharyngealized
glottal stop(IPA| [ʔˤ] . An epiglottal fricative has also been reported. [Harvcoltxt|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996|p=167-168]

Dear Mr Nitin Pai,
I read your opinion piece in live mint about how new military bases could seed new cities and create jobs with great interest. ( https://www.livemint.com/opinion/columns/opinion-how-new-military-bases-could-seed-new-cities-and-create-jobs-1558885126976.html
) Your fundamental idea of creating a win-win situation is good. The idea that Armed Forces can move out of existing areas in cities and resettle 30—40 km away is not new. It can not only seed new cities or create jobs, but also fund entire defence budgets for a year or more. Some time back I wrote an article about an issue related to access to defence areas. I covered this aspect also since such an issue was proposed to me in the holy atmosphere of the RBI. There are more facets to your noble thought than you have imagined. These are contained in the article. What I wrote in this article is only what I chose to put out in the public sphere. If I put out the names of individuals and their intentions it will be a scandal. The article is reproduced here for ready reading. I have not changed a single word, though I could add much more.
I would also like you to consider that this entire mega enterprise has to be executed by the Armed Forces over the next 20-30 years at the expense of their primary job of defending the nation. The nation will have to decide whether the Armed Forces are for job creation and building mega cities or defending it.
If you were not heading a respectable think tank, I would have mistaken you for a lobbyist of questionable repute. I am prepared to discuss this matter with you any time any place of your convenience. Please remember the old saying – The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
With Best Wishes and Warm Regards

Why unconditional access to cantonements areas is a bad move
Apart from raising security concerns , total opening up of defence areas will benefit land sharks more than the general public.
The government’s decision to open cantonment roads for the public has opened a Pandora’s Box. The ensuing debate was emotionally charged. Reaction from parts of the political class and vested interests were sometimes celebratory, including even bursting of crackers in Gopinath Bazar.
In one TV channel, a high-profile Supreme Court lawyer argued that Delhi Cantt should be shifted out to cater for the expanding needs of civilians. I am going to elaborate on the likely implications of this unconditional-access approach anecdotally.
Unconditional open access to cantts will put at risk many high-value defenceless targets. (PTI photo for representation)
At the outset, my position: As cities expand with general development, many cantonments are in the center of cities, amidst their hustle bustle. Many cantonments are fragmented, whose civil and defence pockets intermingle with municipal sections. Clear demarcations might no more exist. The public must be given conditional access to, or passage through, some parts of the cantonment on a case-to-case basis. However, unconditional access needs a rethink.
I also read that the Directorate General Defence Estates (DGDE) will hereafter be solely responsible for managing defence lands. Local military authorities (station commanders) are being portrayed as obstructionists to be sidelined. In my opinion, this is like giving the keys of a safe filled with cash to a thief and sending the police on forced leave.
Who am I to give this opinion?
Well, for 365 days, I was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa area (MG&G) Area. Every day, when I looked out of my glass-walled office, I saw 31 floors of the epitome of human avarice — the iconic building called Adarsh.
That case file was bible for me. The brainchild of this perfidy was the DEO and a local corporator. A DEO is the equivalent of a Patwari and everyone knows what Patwaris do. Incidentally, when in chair, I could never meet the senior-most officer of the DGDE in Southern Command, despite my best efforts to do so. He avoided me and my GOC in C with every trick up his sleeve. I could never understand whose interests the DGDE officials represented. That poor impression continues.
The present case, as it has unfolded in public view, is the tip of the iceberg. The follow-up will be to change the status of cantonments. Anecdotes hereafter will give you a flavor of things to come. Draw your own conclusions. If left unattended, “achche din ayenge” for a select few and “achche din jayenge” for the balance majority.
It was 2014. I was in a room full of India’s who’s who in banking, waiting for the Queen of Netherlands (United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development) in a function hosted by Mr Raghuram Rajan in RBI.
The gentleman next to me was the head of a financial heavyweight institution. We struck up a conversation. “General, the Army should vacate Colaba and go to the outskirts. The land value will be enough to fund the defence budget for at least two years, including modernisation. Everyone will benefit”. Perfect sense. I asked him his opinion of Dehu Road as the alternative location. “Excellent”. Between Pune and Mumbai. So, Pune Cantt can also be vacated. Two birds with one stone! One problem. The Dehu Road Red Zone Sangharsh Samiti was trying to rope in Anna Hazare to evict us from there !
So, the next destination? “Hmm” … and the next… “Hmm”….? Soon, the last destination will also get developed and will want to throw the Army out.
I also pointed out that Western Naval Command personnel will have to commute daily from Dehu Road. “Hold. Isn’t the Western Naval Command moving out to Karwar? Why does Mumbai need the presence of so much Army and Navy in the first place?” Agreed. Mumbai does not need it, but doesn’t Mumbai get flooded? “The state authorities and the NDMA will take care of that”.
Logical. For common colds, you call the family doctor. For heart attacks you go to a cardiologist, if possible within the golden hour. Occasionally, Mumbai floods are like cardiac arrests. So, the Mumbaikars will wait for their cardiologist to come from Dehu Road, get stuck somewhere in between during the golden hour, and reach after floods subside.
Who will give the land? “The government of Maharashtra” The same government which has been unable to give alternative land for the 42 acres given by the Army for the Santa Cruz Airport way back when it was built? Of course, the iconic Adarsh building will be the re-development model for the new Colaba, in which Mumbaikars will live happily ever after!
Much like the security around the Parliament was beefed up after the attack on it, defence lands need to be well guarded. (Photo: PTI)
Or, one could also go back to the British model of 1911, when shares of this failed enterprise were sold in the USA. You read it right — the US of A. The subprime crisis has roots in Colaba! Who will fund the development of the new cantonment when defence budgets are hitting all-time lows? What will the timeline be? After this exchange, the topic quickly changed to Mumbai’s weather.
Others portly bankers, who were keenly listening, lost interest. The Queen of Netherlands arrived. We listened to her and had a good lunch. Wodehousian settings, eh? Word spread. This proposal to shift the Armed Forces out of Colaba was given to me many times thereafter, by all hues of people, including politicians across party lines. The mental merry go-round of greed whirls at great speed, and is flexibly nimble. Now I understand why India has such huge NPA problems and banking is in a mess.
Later, when I shifted to Delhi, I got a call from an Additional Secretary. He wanted to be briefed about a land case in Mumbai since he was deputed to investigate the matter. The RM had received a strong representation that the Army was unfairly obstructing the re-development of dilapidated buildings. Lives could be lost, and the Army would be responsible for that.
I called him over. Over a cup of tea in my office, I explained to him the nuances of the case. In Malad, Mumbai, there were numerous applications to obtain NOC for redevelopment of buildings near Army areas. Invariably, the picture painted was that these buildings were in a dilapidated condition, falling apart and unsafe for habitation. As per rules and instructions, a NOC can be given for the re-development of any building, provided it remained within its original dimensional scope. For example, a four-floor building could be redeveloped within the existing four floors. However, all plans submitted indicated conversion of the four floors into 20-25 floors.
Big plans! Big money! Media portrayed that the Army was the insensitive stumbling block. High-profile meetings by politicians and builders to pressurise us were a constant. Around this time, one old resident of this area met me. It was a Saransh moment, when a helpless Anupam Kher goes to his student, who is a minister, and requests him to get the gangster off his back. This old man wanted the builder mafia kept off.
He was being coerced into a re-development plan. He pointed out a few things. There were sanitation and sewerage problems in that area already. Who would clear the four to five-fold quantity of shit that would now have to be cleared? What about drainage during floods? What about traffic, roads, pollution, and other basic civic necessities that would compound the situation?
I closed my eyes and visualised the four-fold vertical growth of that area. It was grim.Who would have benefitted? Don’t be dumb. Every such “NOC” request was returned less the “C” with a “NO”. The Additional Secretary went to Mumbai, met all concerned, and gave a stronger recommendation than mine to the RM. But now I feel winds of change blowing with this unconditional access policy. Is there a shift?
Here is something for Delhiites. Around the turn of this century, the Delhi chapter of the land mafia proposed developing The Ridge in Delhi. Delhiites protested in unison. The huge public uproar ensured that The Ridge area was designated as the lungs of Delhi. Thereafter, from environmental considerations, further development was suspended.
For those who know geography, the Delhi cantonment is an extension of The Ridge. Any move to change the status of Delhi cantonment should get the same consideration as that given to The Ridge, otherwise Delhiites will further stew in their metastatic carcinogenous environment. In fact, the status quo of Delhi cantonment is more of an imperative for Delhiites than the service people living there temporarily.
It is your environment and you need to guard it, Dilliwallon! Yet I found this legal luminary from the Supreme Court skillfully articulating his merry developmental views. All the best to the residents of Delhi. Who needs enemies?
The open access to cantonments policy paves the way for incrementally unshackling defence land and getting hold of it by hook. The crook part will not be needed anymore. For land sharks, development artists and some functionaries of the elusive DGDE, it will be a great morale booster.
Most cases related to land affairs have been lost due the ineptitude, avarice and chinks in our system. MOD officials should re-read the lost Kalpataru- Malad case. They should also read the Ahmedabad Gymkhana case, wherein a local shady character took over the club through claimed political links and strong-arm tactics. He was running riot in the heart of Ahmedabad cantonment, next to the sensitive communication hub of the Army. It was strict enforcement of controlled access through judicial order which saved the Army some blushes.
I do hope that a clear policy of land management and access to defence lands comes out. Otherwise, the consequences could be detrimental, even ghastly, to national interests.
Two decades back, in the days of open access to cantonments, armed terrorists walked into the family quarters of an Artillery unit in a cantonment and mercilessly gunned down children, women, old people and unarmed soldiers (off duty) in their homes. It was a bloody massacre.
It was the first in a series, and has been recurrent. Most security systems started hardening thereafter. The trauma of that episode remains to this day in that unit. I felt and shared their hurt, since I was their GOC and Colonel Commandant. We privately mourned our departed ones. In public, it continues to be a fighting fit unit of high caliber.
Unconditional open access to cantts will put at risk many high-value defenceless targets. Even one life lost due to this policy hereafter is blood on someone’s hands. Have we forgotten the attack on the citadel of our democracy – the Parliament? Look at the security beefed up there. Even pigeons can’t fly freely there now. The day we can revert the access to our Parliament to the levels before that attack, I will be at the forefront of any move to open up cantonments. Till then — conditional access please.our art

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 6, 2004-2005 - Pages 165-168
Although originally targeted for foreign business readers, Michael Breen’s The Koreans has emerged as a modern-day classic on the Korean character and culture. It is often recommended by Korean studies scholars, alongside such earlier general works as Donald S. Macdonald’s Koreans: Contemporary Politics and Society (now in its third edition, revised by Donald Clark). In its 1999 Korean translation from the original 1998 British edition, The Koreans rocketed to the top ten list of Korea’s bestsellers, revealing Koreans’ own enthusiasm to understand themselves from an outsider’s perspective. The American hardcover edition also appeared in 1999, and the 2004 paperback edition reviewed here is slightly revised with a new chapter on events since 2000.
Breen, a British journalist, originally went to South Korea as The Washington Times’ Seoul correspondent. He ended up living there for 15 years, during which time he also served for three years as president of the Seoul Foreign Correspondents Club, and wrote for The Guardian and The Times of London. He later became managing director of the Seoul office of public relations firm Merit/Burson-Marsteller, and now runs his own company, Insight Communications Consultants.
Unificationists will remember him authoring in 1997 the meticulously researched Sun Myung Moon: The Early Years, 1920-53, based on in-depth interviews with early followers of Reverend Moon. No book has appeared in English since to rival it. This year, Breen’s popular new book, Kim Jong-Il: North Korea's Dear Leader, builds on his reputation with The Koreans.
For the first-time reader of The Koreans, there is one caution: it is not a straightforward read. Breen’s technique is to interweave stories and vignettes as examples of what he describes. A given chapter typically is strung together by numerous stories, making the book almost conversational in tone; yet it works. While it takes getting used to, in the end, this technique may be why the book succeeds so well. Breen’s book contrasts with the unnerving style of fellow journalist Bradley Martin’s new 880-page tome, Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader: North Korea and the Kim Dynasty, which poorly employs a similar technique of interweaving personal stories and experiences.
The underlying reason The Koreans succeeds is Breen has the depth of experience, sensitivity and skill to explain things Korean to a foreign audience. He comes close to knowing what it is like to being Korean without being one, and thus gives the reader a very intimate feeling about the internal universe and perspective of Koreans. It is that quality that surely has astonished Korean readers themselves.
The Koreans is divided into four parts: “Society and Values,” “History,” “Economy,” and “Politics” (with a new concluding chapter on the “Next Generation”). The first part is the strongest and undoubtedly the most valuable. Here Breen’s storytelling technique is used to maximum effect. The other three parts function really as an adjunct to the first, and while written as well as could be expected given the book’s scope, do not stand as well on their own. Interested readers would do better to consult Bruce Cumings’ Korea’s Place in the Sun: A Modern History for an adequate historical overview; Mark L. Clifford’s Troubled Tiger: Businessmen, Bureaucrats and Generals (rev. ed.), for an economic and business overview of South Korea; and, Don Oberdorfer’s The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History (rev. ed.) for a solid political history of North-South relations.
There are also several Unificationist-related references in the book. Breen mentions that in 1989 police had to use tear gas to separate students and demonstrating Protestant Christians in Chonan when the Unification Church obtained government approval to turn its seminary there into Sun Moon University. Just one paragraph is devoted to the Church’s founder, in which Breen notes that only Rev. Moon is internationally known among at least 70 South Koreans who have claimed to be the messiah since the 1960s. Sprinkled throughout are mentions of Sun Moon University professor Lynne Kim (her views on male/female relationships in Korea); University of Bridgeport religion scholar Mark Setton (his observations on child-rearing in Korea); and short vignettes on the Segye Ilbo and the Tongil Group.
This reviewer was especially intrigued by Breen’s discussions of North Korea. We were both guests of the late President Kim Il Sung in April 1994 as part of a visiting delegation of former heads of state and government (accompanied by journalists and academics) led by the Summit Council for World Peace. Breen properly took note of Kim’s earthy but poignant explanation to the luncheon guests of juche, North Korea’s philosophy of self-reliance, which to my knowledge has never appeared in any other publication, before or since. It bears repeating:
|“It’s anathema to me to follow others. We can learn from foreigners, of course,” he said. “You must chew first. If it’s agreeable you can swallow. If it’s disagreeable, spit it out. East European countries got indigestion because they swallowed the Soviet Union. If it rained in Moscow, people put up their umbrellas in Berlin. You have to chew first. Then you eat it – in other words, you make it your own. Otherwise, you’ll get sick.”|
Save for the new last chapter, The Koreans is up to date only as far as 1999. It covers contemporary Korean history and politics only as far as the first year of Kim Dae Jung’s presidency (1998). The new chapter itself takes us to 2003, including the June 2000 summit between Kim Dae Jung and Kim Jong Il and the 2003 election of Roh Moo-hyun with the emergence of a new generation in Korean politics.
The problem is that, as timeless as Korean culture might seem, a lot has changed in South Korea over the last five years, with important implications. Notwithstanding the valiant effort in the short new chapter, some material in Parts Two through Four has become dated. Korea’s most recent changes are profoundly cultural and sociological, not just economic and political.
For example, today foreign businessmen readily admit that South Korea has come a long way since the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis, and now welcomes foreign investment; yet the reader would conclude from this “revised” edition that Koreans do not. There has been a huge growth in South Korean civil society since 1998, with its consequent impact on political culture, which is only touched upon in the concluding chapter. The nature of anti-Americanism is given only minimal treatment. And recent socio-cultural changes (admirably detailed elsewhere by Seoul-based scholar Edward J. Button) affecting the span of Korean life, including family values, sexuality, racism and anti-foreigner bias, education, and regionalism, are only briskly mentioned if at all in Breen’s closing chapter.
The publisher would do well to commission from Breen a genuinely revised and updated second edition. If The Koreans is to retain its value in coming years to general audiences as well as students of Korean affairs, Breen will have to continue to employ his effective journalistic style in keeping us abreast of how the Korean people are changing and where they are headed. | <urn:uuid:2de6e3d0-8337-4e60-a78d-2f8c39597545> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://journals.uts.edu/volume-vi-2004-2005/50-book-review-michael-breen-i-the-koreans-who-they-are-what-they-want-where-their-future-lies-i-revised-edition-new-york-thomas-dunne-books-st-martin-s-griffin-2004 | 2020-02-17T09:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141806.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217085334-20200217115334-00288.warc.gz | en | 0.956758 | 1,592 |
It’s about time too. From the New York Times:
Editors at the satirical newspaper have submitted their work for consideration by the Pulitzer Board, sometimes in categories they could conceivably qualify for, like commentary, and other times in categories that would be a stretch, like public service.
Saying the paper’s journalistic excellence should be overlooked no longer, The Onion is beginning a full-scale multimedia campaign to get a long-coveted Pulitzer. Readers, celebrities, world leaders and a nonprofit advocacy group called Americans for Fairness in Awarding Journalism Prizes are all contributing to the effort.
The occasion for the campaign is the paper’s 1,000th issue — or at least what the editors say they think is the 1,000th issue. They claim they do not really know. Or care.
The tumblr pushing for the campaign with all the videos is priceless. You’ve got everyone from Tom Hanks to the President of Georgia recording videos. Very clever. Very, very, clever.
How funny is that Tom Hanks video? When is this guy going to get back to doing slapstick comedy? If ever there was an actor that deserved to work with the Coen Brothers it would certainly be Tom Hanks. | <urn:uuid:3fd9f897-9f92-4eaa-8be3-4d8dcc5429a9> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://slyoyster.com/newsandpolitics/2011/the-onion-pushes-for-a-pulitzer/ | 2017-03-24T04:28:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218187690.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212947-00555-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95924 | 260 |

Regulated DC Power Supply using transistors.
A low ripple regulated DC power supply designed based on transistors is shown here. Such transistor voltage regulators are suitable for application where high output current is required. Conventional integrated series regulators like 7805 can only deliver up to 1A. Additional series pass transistors have to be added to the 7805 based regulator circuit for improving their current capacity.
The circuit shown below is a basic series voltage regulator based on transistors. Transistor Q1 (2N 3054) and Q2 (2N 3055) form a darlington pair. Resistor R1 provides the base current for Q1 and also keeps the zener diode D2 in the active region. The overall working of the circuit can be demonstrated by explaining two situations.
- When the input voltage (output of the rectifier section) increases, the output voltage of the regulator (Vout) also increases. This increase in Vout decreases the base emitter voltage of Q2 because the zener diode D2 is operating in the breakdown region and the voltage across it is unchangeable. This decrease in VBE increases the collector emitter resistance of Q2 and so the output voltage (Vout) gets reduced accordingly.
- When the output load increases, the output voltage (Vout) gets reduced. This decrease of output voltage (Vout) makes VBE of Q2 to decrease. This reduces the collector emitter resistance of Q2 and so the output voltage gets increased accordingly.
- If 5A bridge is not available, then make one using 6A6 diodes.
- Transistor Q2 requires a heat sink.
- An optional 5A fuse can be added in series to the output.
- Breakdown voltage of the zener diode D2 must be chosen according to the output voltage you need, and it is according to the equation, Vout = Vz – 0.7. | <urn:uuid:216c5481-a73b-47f5-9327-f6f624685f1e> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.circuitstoday.com/regulated-dc-power-supply?replytocom=65524 | 2018-01-20T03:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084888878.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180120023744-20180120043744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.856613 | 400 |

I seldom mention my MIL here at the farm, probably because at 86 she can run rings around me. Here she is taking the push mower to her front yard a few days ago. She's a little dynamo...her weight is the same as her age. A few weeks ago I was blessed with the gift of four scissor bobs from a young woman from Australia I don't even know.

Milwaukee was once touted as being "the beer capital of the world." Indeed, the city has been home to some of the greatest names in brewing history -- Schlitz, Pabst, Miller, Blatz and others. But what was it about Milwaukee that led it to become one of the world's most notorious brewing centers? Find out at The Beer Library.
Classic Beer Book Reprinted...
In 1911, John P. Arnold set out to fill a void that existed in brewing literature. The result was Origin and History of Beer and Brewing a global study of beer throughout history. Up to that point, there had been no such comprehensive study of beermaking. Arnold, a writer and historian, was particularly well-suited to tackle the collossal job of assembling a world history of brewing. He was a long-time writer/editor for the Chicago-based brewing journals Der Braumeister and Siebel Technical Review. In recognition of Arnold's contribution to the study of brewing history, BeerBooks.com has reprinted this groundbreaking book from an original 1911 edition. » Read more at BeerBooks.com.

Mobile locksmiths are available whether you have locked yourself out of your car, lost your keys, or simply need a replacement key made. When it comes to replacing keys, the process is much different today, since the use of key fobs is becoming more and more common, than it was even just a few years ago. In fact, consumers do not even need their original key to make a replacement anymore. Furthermore, your key, whether it is a regular key or key fob, can be duplicated without the need to find the key code.
1. Replacing Traditional Keys
In order to create a replacement for your traditional key, your mobile locksmith will require proof of ownership of your vehicle and the VIN (vehicle identification number) of your automobile. With those two pieces of information, the mobile locksmith will be able to get the key code from the manufacturer of your car, which in turn will enable them to make the proper cuts for the new key. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have the mobile...
Before enjoying some R&R away from home with your family, insure peace of mind by making your home less susceptible to being invaded by burglars. Whether you reside in a metro area like Tampa or a suburban enclave, there are useful measures you can undertake to discourage potential thieves during your absence.
1. Lock up your home.
To state the obvious: even though you might be using a monitored or unmonitored security system, it won’t be very effective if you don’t remember to lock every door and window. Whether your home features traditional deadbolts and locksets or electronic keypads, physically securing your entrances and exits is naturally of paramount importance. Also, be discriminating about who you’ve entrusted with copies of your keys – closest friends and family only. After all, nearly 50% of home invasions involve the use of a key. And don’t even think about keeping a spare key in a secret hiding spot outside your house, because no...
Microchip car keys - also known as transponder keys - are designed to protect your vehicle. Each key contains a code that the car must recognize before it will start. Without the code, the car will not start.
You only get one microchip key with your vehicle.
Fiction! Yes, your microchip car key is secure because the coding only works with your vehicle. However, multiple keys can be programmed with your specific code, allowing you to have more than one transponder key. This enables you to have replacement keys, should you need them in the future.
Microchip car keys are difficult to disable.
Fact! Sure, transponder keys CAN be disabled, but not easily. Doing so requires specialized equipment and software that generally only a car dealership or a locksmith like Cheap Lock & Key possess. This is expensive equipment that makes it an unattractive option for even sophisticated, high-tech thieves.
Only the specific auto manufacturer can program a transponder key....
We don’t live in a Mayberry world anymore. The novelty of leaving your doors unlocked has been replaced with the need for safety and peace of mind. Since your doors are the place your home is most vulnerable, selecting the right locks for each one is vital. But knowing the best way to secure your home can be confusing unless you understand all your options.
The most basic of all the locks is the doorknob lock. These locks have knobs on both sides of the door, one side has a lock, the other has a keyhole. These are common on all household doors, but ideally should be limited to indoor privacy uses.
Doorknob locks are easily damaged with external force. Once the knob is compromised, the locking mechanism is easily accessible, leaving your home vulnerable. Doorknob locks alone are not secure enough on exterior doors unless used in conjunction with a secondary lock.
Deadbolts are the most popular, widely-used security lock for homes. They...
Over 50% of all burglars gain access to your home through your front or back door, making them the most susceptible areas of your house. It is important for you, as a homeowner, and for us as your locksmith, to make sure your home is safe and secure by installing and maintaining your locks. Especially living in a bigger city, like Tampa Bay.
Burglars can tamper with your locks in several ways.
Most locks used in residential households are not top-of-the-line secure locks. There are many different ways that burglars will attempt to open your doors. Here are the most common:

Amazing documentary on jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The name Rahsaan meaning “raw sound”. Rahsaan was blind and paralyzed from his left side. Yet, he displayed more inventiveness than Miles Davis or John Coltrane, and achieved more interesting technical feats (playing 3 saxophones simultaneously) while creating his own compositions, remaining melodic and classical and avoiding the pitfalls of ‘free jazz’ (I’m glad I didn’t pay for that!).
Story is told by an intimate group of friends, family, children, band players, eschewing pedantic jazz critics or Kevin Burns mannerisms. They are all incredibly warm people, deep and poetic, and intensely aware of the spiritual purpose of Rahsaan’s music.
The movie traces Rahsaan’s provocative gestures and musical activism. He and his conspirators high jacked a taping of the Dick Cavett show by playing gun-shaped whistles continuously disrupting the recording. They demanded wider televisual exposure of jazz music. Frequent collaborators included: bassist Charles Mingus, sax player Archie Shepp, and drummer Roy Hanes.
Try this for a zen koan: a documentary about a blind jazz musician and his poetic political vision for music which came to him in dreams.

Pawan Khatiwada is a recent Bachelor of Business graduate who completed his Victoria University degree through Education Centre Australia (ECA).
Student in profile: Pawan Khatiwada 2018
Having arrived from Nepal four years ago, Pawan came to Australia with the hope of gaining international business experience at the end of his studies. Today, thanks to the ECA Internship program, Pawan is now working in an Information Systems role at Dimension Data in Sydney.
At ECA, our successful internship program helps up to 1000 students like Pawan gain relevant work experiences every year. We provide a strong network of Learning Support Advisors, and give our students access range of professional development courses and interview training.
For Pawan, having access to this additional support has been a game changer. “I would say that ECA have changed my life. They have a nice team and they showed me how to develop my professional workplace skills. During my time there, I communicated a lot with Ian, one of their Senior Learning Support Advisors, and he was really helpful. I don’t think I could have got this far without their help” he said.
Like many international students, Pawan was drawn to ECA’s internship program because it offered him an opportunity to experience Australian business first hand. “Thanks to the internship, I really had the chance to be part of the Australian workforce. I wanted to know how Australian business people think. I wanted to move beyond the classroom and take part in the Australian workforce” he said.
Looking to the future, Pawan would like to be a Business Analyst and open his own consulting firm. When asked whether he would recommend ECA to other international students, Pawan’s response was emphatic; “Yes, definitely. They have a good team, and they put the needs of their students first. For me, the whole experience has been great”.

YOO HOO!!!! It’s Sunday you know – time for all of us to link up to the Selfie Hop on The Cat On My Head. Sharing a photo of ourselves is a “regular” activity for those of us in the Hop – we hope you’ll HOP with us and it’s easy – just click on the badge above and fill in the LINKY form.
I’m back to my FLASHBACK selfies this Sunday. This is me – not too long after I came to live here with Mom and Dad. Mom snapped it on February 17, 2017. YES it’s blurry – I bet Mom was wiggling the camera because I was wiggling my head – I was a very wiggly (happy) kid!
I still have a “baby face”……………I look much more grown up now of course – after all, I’m almost three years old! Mom thought in spite of the fact this is a not so hot photo of me, she’d go ahead and make a puzzle out of it.
We were going to jazz up the photo a little with our favorite photo editing tool – LUNAPIC but for some reason it wouldn’t “work”…….so this is just ME – with no doodads or fancy colors – JUST ME!
HAPPY SUNDAY!

I always love to hear good news about research that reveals new potential health benefits of coffee (or tea, of course), because I don’t want to cut back on my coffee consumption. It also never hurts to feel like you’re doing something good for yourself by pouring another cup during the day. A recent study focused on older adults found that regular coffee drinkers who drank four or more cups a day were at a much lower risk of depression than non-coffee drinkers. This was particularly true of the non-drinkers who consumed a lot of artificially sweetened beverages, since that was linked to the highest risk of depression in this particular study. There are many other factors that could start to explain these findings, but the preliminary results of the study – which was large and, unusually, focused primarily on older people in the IS – are very interesting. The results were released by the American Academy of Neurology and the study was led by Dr. Honglei Chen, an investigator at the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Coffee and caffeine have already been linked to a happier and more optimistic outlook on life in other studies, so lowering the risk of depression may not be too much of a stretch.

New York, 4 April 2006 - Secretary-General's message on International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine ActionLandmines are cruel instruments of war. Decades after conflicts have receded, these invisible killers lie silently in the ground, waiting to murder and maim. Through them, 20th century battles claim 21st century victims, with new casualties added every hour.
A single landmine – or even the fear of its presence – can hold an entire community hostage. It can prevent farmers from growing crops, refugees from returning home, even children from playing. It blocks the delivery of humanitarian relief and impedes the deployment of peacekeepers. In post-conflict societies landmines remain one of the greatest impediments to rebuilding and renewal.
Yet this scourge of the past century has the potential to become an early success story of the present one. The swift entry into force of the 1997 convention banning anti-personnel landmines underscored the broad moral condemnation of these weapons. The treaty, which has 150 State Parties, is already producing tangible results. Governments, donors, nongovernmental organizations and the United Nations are collaborating on an unprecedented scale to address this problem, in more than 30 countries. Both the production and the laying of mines are in decline. Global trade in mines has virtually halted. Stockpiles have been destroyed. Clearance operations have accelerated. Mine-risk education has spread.
The message is clear and must be heard: landmines have no place in any civilized society.
The goal of a world without landmines and explosive remnants of war appears achievable in years -- not decades as we used to think. But to realize this ideal, every one of us – donors, the general public and mine-affected countries – must focus our energies, and our imaginations, on the cause of mine clearance. Having been so effective in laying mines, we must now become even better at clearing them. Each mine cleared may mean a life saved. Each mine cleared brings us one step closer to building the conditions for lasting and productive peace.
On this International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, I call on governments to ratify the anti-personnel mine ban treaty as well as the new Protocol V -- on the explosive remnants of war -- to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. I ask donors to renew their financial commitments. I urge the international community to address the humanitarian and developmental impact of cluster-munitions. And I look to affected countries to ensure the rehabilitation and reintegration of landmine survivors, and to increase resources for mine action. Together, we must fight the evil of landmines as a high and moral calling.

“There is also discussion of a new, national gun registry connected with universal background checks. The Obama Administration’s Justice Department has said that the effectiveness of universal background checks ‘depends on…requiring gun registration,’ something I strongly oppose.”
--Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), “Our Right to Bear Arms ,” The Daily Caller, April 5, 2013
A reader asked us about this paragraph in an opinion article written by Portman, given that the Obama administration has insisted it has no interest in creating a national gun registry. We also have previously noted that federal law prohibits creating such a registry -- a law Portman surely knows about because he signed a letter in support of the provision when it was under discussion in 2011.
So what’s going on here?
This is an interesting example of how someone can create a certain impression by carefully arranging two independently correct sentences. The first sentence refers to a “discussion” of a national gun registry, which is different than any legislation being introduced. But then the next sentence refers to a statement by the Obama Justice Department, which certainly suggests Obama is interested in the idea.
Where did this Justice Department comment come from? It was a discussion draft written by an official at the research arm of the Justice Department, who said it was intended to be “a cursory summary of select initiatives to reduce firearm violence and an assessment of the evidence for the initiative.” The National Rifle Association obtained the document and publicized it.
The document is a fairly hard-headed look at various ways to reduce gun violence and whether they could be effective. It was dated Jan. 4, two weeks before Obama unveiled his gun proposals—which did not include national gun registration.
The Associated Press reported that the Justice Department called the document “an unfinished review of gun violence research” and said it does not represent administration policy. Indeed, the document suggests some of the administration’s proposals might not be especially effective.
The quote pulled out for Portman’s opinion article—which we should note includes ellipsis—is from a brief summary: “Effectiveness [of universal background checks] depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration and an easy gun transfer process.”
This is the document’s full section on gun registration:
Universal checks are insufficient for ensuring that firearm owners remain eligible. Convictions, mental health issues, and restraining orders can develop after the background checks.
Recovering guns from those that become ineligible is likely effective. There is evidence from three studies that policies that check domestic violence perpetrators for firearm possession are effective at reducing intimate partner violence. Vigdor and Mercy (2006) found a 7% reduction in intimate partner homicide in states that allowed guns to be confiscated on site of domestic violence incidents. Zeoli and Webster (2010) found that state statutes restricting those under restraining orders from accessing firearms are associated with reductions of 20%-25% in total and firearm intimate partner homicide.
Bridges et al (2008) found that most domestic violence laws do not effect intimate partner homicide except those relating to firearms. All three studies use methods that make alternative explanations unlikely.
The challenge to implementing this more broadly is that most states do not have a registry of firearm ownership. Currently NICS [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] background checks are destroyed within 24 hours. Some states maintain registration of all firearms. Gun registration aims to 1) increase owner responsibility by directly connecting an owner with a gun, 2) improve law enforcement’s ability to retrieve guns from owners prohibited from possessing firearms.
Gun registration also allows for the monitoring of multiple gun purchases in a short period of time.
Portman spokeswoman Caitlin Dunn said Portman was not trying to suggest Obama is advocating a national gun registry:
“There is also discussion” means just that – when media, gun control advocates, local stakeholders, legislators, etc. are talking about options to limit gun violence, a national registry is one of the many things that is being discussed. As you point out in your email, DOJ included this as part of its own discussion draft on various ways to curb gun violence. Portman was speaking literally and was not implying something more - that the Obama Administration is recommending it.
Senator Portman’s point was on the effectiveness of universal background checks, and he was pointing out that, as the Justice Department discussion draft states, the effectiveness of universal background checks “depends on…requiring gun registration,” something he strongly opposes.
The Pinocchio Test
This falls into a bit of grey area. Portman’s language is slippery, allowing him to have his cake and eat it too. Given the juxtaposition of the two sentences, some—if not many—readers might conclude that Obama supports a national gun registry as part of his proposal for universal background checks.
Portman should have made clear that the Obama plan does not include national gun registration and federal law prohibits it—and then he could have quoted from the Justice Department document to say that the president’s own experts believe a plan for universal background checks, as proposed by the president, would not be as effective without it.

Common law is based on British Ecclesiastical law, the Magna Charta of 1215, and the Ten Commandments and Holy Bible. Common law is unwritten law, which people all over the world generally understand and accept as the way to interact with others with respect to natural rights. Common law can be summed up by saying, "you can do whatever you wish, so long as you do not harm anybody in the process. "Harming anybody in the process" means violating the natural (life, liberty, property) rights of another.
Common law is regarded as the Law of the Land in the uSA. This means that the common law attached to the land itself before there were any governments here. Common law cannot be repealed, abridged, amended, or ignored (even though portions of statutory law claim to have replaced the common law). This is because no man or woman has the authority to alter the Laws of the Creator, on which common law is based.
Under common law, there can be no crime without there being a damaged party. The "State" is not a "real party in interest" and so cannot claim to be a damaged party and thereby prosecute "victimless crimes." In reality, under common law there can be no crime without there being a victim. In other words, common law does not allow for "crime prevention," because in order to prevent a crime (damage to another) from happening, then a law-abiding Citizen must have his liberty arrested (before he harms someone). Under the system of governance established by our Founding Fathers, it was unacceptable to encroach upon the natural right to liberty belonging to each Citizen, unless there was first a damaged party issuing a complaint against an individual. Only then could the government charge the accused party with commission of a crime. Freedom allows for anyone to harm anyone else... once only, if the government acts properly to deal with the crime.
Common law venue courts are courts of the people. If a crime is alleged to have been committed, the accused party is entitled to a fair trial, in which members of his own community are gathered into a jury of twelve. Jurors are picked at random and there are no provisions for disqualification of jurors based on their personal beliefs or political positions. Members of the community are conscripted to serve as judge (who is only a referee) and constable (bailiff). The jurors themselves ask questions of the accused and accusing parties and their witnesses. The judge acts only as an impartial referee, whose primary task is to keep the adversarial parties on track, ensuring that the proceedings move forward swiftly and with proper focus by all parties. The judge is a minor official in a common law venue court.
A common law civil action for damages requires that a security bond be put up by the plaintiff, equal to twice the amount being asked for in damages. If the lawsuit turns out to be frivolous, then the bond is forfeit - one half to the accused party (whose character has been assassinated by virtue of the accusation itself), the other half to the jurors and court officers, who had to take time away from their jobs to serve the court. By their very nature, common law proceedings preclude frivolous lawsuits.
Common law cannot ever be repealed, because it is fundamental to the land itself, before there were any governments. The Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) governs all statutory courts today. U.C.C. 1-103 requires that all proceedings be conducted in harmony with the common law. This can be useful if you ever find yourself in a statutory court, because once invoked, the rules of common law must be addressed, and under common law there is no crime if there is not a damaged party (who has signed a complaint against you).
There are no true official common law venue courts today, except for the U.S. Court of Claims in Washington, D.C. However, many unofficial common law venue courts of the people have been established throughout the Union.

Autograf – Future Sauce
Quickly following up the release of their Hype Machine #1 ‘Don’t Worry’ and official remix of Bastille’s ‘Good Grief’- Autograf has unveiled their newest project,‘Future Sauce’. A sneak peak of their still unannounced LP, the live electronic darlings have turned in one of their most hypnotizing pieces of music to date in ‘Future Sauce’. Powerful piano melody rips through the opening bars of ‘Future Sauce’, setting up a haunting, almost filmic aesthetic. The song disassembles into a groovy, unabashedly Autograf release, perfectly setting up a new doorway for what is to come from the band.
‘Future Sauce’ is available now as a peak into things to come, and debuts alongside an art print from Autograf as well. Stream it here via Autograf’s Soundcloud.
Autograf will be joining Goldroom for a co-headlining, 30+ date (found below), bus tour of North America this fall as well. With both acts bringing live instrumentation and vocals on the road these shows will offer a glimpse at the future sound of American electronic music. The tour began this past week in Nashville.
A ticket pre-sale link can be found here – AutografGoldroom.com
Autograf burst onto the scene in 2015 with a string of searing remixes that notched up Hype Machine #1s left and right. 58 million plays later and the trio have shown they are very much more than just blog buzz. Singles like Dream and Metaphysical, released on Counter Records, and their subsequent 5 track 2016 EP Future Soup represent a body of work that shows Autograf’s penchant for melodic and kaleidoscopic hook laden house music.
Often when it comes to describing a musical aesthetic it stops with the music, but Autograf have constructed an identity that extends far beyond their soundscape. Originally conceived as an art project, the trio’s releases have been accompanied by original art pieces from the band, while Jake’s background in sculpture and welding has allowed Autograf to create their stage design and even build own instruments including a marimba and djembe. | <urn:uuid:7c6cf1d6-da2e-427e-9cf8-3df8b5c0889b> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://serialgk.com/2016/10/13/autograf-future-sauce/ | 2022-05-27T21:53:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652663006341.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220527205437-20220527235437-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.941113 | 486 |
Claudia Myers’ “Fort Bliss” deals with something we don’t see much in movies: the challenges of being a female soldier and a single mom at the same time. The movie stars Michelle Monaghan as U.S. army medic Maggie Swann who has just returned home after serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan. But instead of arriving to greet her son Paul (Oakes Fegley) at the air base, she instead finds him back at home with his dad, her ex-husband Richard (Ron Livingston), and stepmom, and he doesn’t really remember her much. From there, Maggie works to repair the bond between her and Paul before her duties in the military threaten to tear them apart yet again.
Both Monaghan and Livingston dropped by the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, California for the “Fort Bliss’” press day, and it was fascinating to hear about their experiences making this particular movie. This was a very low budget production, so there wasn’t much time for anyone to waste. I always wondered how actors deal with the lack of time because we are led to believe they are used to working on movies which allow them to take a nap in their trailers between takes while the crew sets up for the next shot. But while having fewer resources can seriously affect some actors, Monaghan and Livingston did not let any limitations stand in their way.
“There’s something really exciting about the idea that they just don’t have time to micromanage you in your performance, so there’s a lot more responsibility to just show up,” Livingston said. “Your first take on it is gonna be the take that goes into the movie by and large unless it’s really egregious because there’s not a lot of time to waste tinkering with it, you know?”
“It is true that you don’t have a lot of time to play with it,” Monaghan said. “I think that’s why the prep time becomes so essential for an independent film. It’s your responsibility as an actor or a director or a writer to really play your part. You can’t just turn up and expect all these experts to show you something on the day. That’s really, really important. That’s a part of our job, and also we shot this movie in 21 days. It was so incredibly exciting because we were living, eating and breathing it. We shot in two different locations in and around Los Angeles and then Fort Bliss (in El Paso, Texas) with the help of the Army. With all their resources, the production value looks by far more than what we had for it.
“21 days with combat sequences is pretty incredible,” Livingston noted.
Again, I imagine some actors would have preferred to have more time to prepare for the roles, but they don’t always have that opportunity. When it comes down to it, they have to work with what they are given instead of complain about what’s working against them. For Monaghan, the fact there wasn’t a lot of down time on the set of “Fort Bliss” didn’t affect her too much.
“There’s not (a lot of down time), but I always tend to find that I feel the strongest about performances in general when they’re shot in that way because you’re in it,” Monaghan said. “You are in the thick of it, and to say that I go to sleep at night and dream about the character and the role, you are. It’s 21 days where you’re attacking it for that period of time, and you don’t have time to think about it. Good things tend to come from that.”
One of the best scenes in “Fort Bliss” comes at the beginning when Maggie and dozens of other troops are returning home from Afghanistan. It looked like the production succeeded in hiring the best background extras they could find as they looked so incredibly enthusiastic in welcoming the soldiers home, but it turns out there was a lot more authenticity involved than we realized.
“When you see the coming home scenes at the beginning, it was truly people of soldier’s families, military wives, husbands, and children that two days prior had just welcomed one of those big planes home,” Monaghan said. “Fort Bliss sent out an email saying, ‘Would you guys come back two days later to shoot a scene?’ So they brought back all their signs and it was amazing. The military band was there and even the Harley Davison guys came back and all the former vets with their bikes and everything. Everybody was so proud to be there. That’s so profound to be able to have that experience and to feel that energy of what it’s like and everybody hugging one another. To be able to have that access and that resource was so invaluable. We constantly had that throughout the process of filming. I say this film has been so blessed, but it has. I’m so grateful to everybody in how far reaching the efforts that everybody has gone to.”
“Fort Bliss” may be coming in under the radar, but it is truly deserving of your attention. It deals with the female perspective of war and how women still have a stigma attached to them whenever they serve in the military. Many expect women to stay at home and be a mother to their children instead of fighting wars overseas, but life continues to be more complicated than we expect it to be, and nothing is ever that simple.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-U10 review
I have owned this camera for about 8 months now. I paid $550 Australian. I love it, as do my friends. 187 pics on a 64 meg card, I can snap away at anything.
The pictures look very good, and I have printed many with no problem.
I love the look of the U60, though!
The included charger is no good. takes too long. I bought a Sony fast charger ($70 australian), and it charges the batteries in only an hour. much better.
The camera sets automatically to auto-focus on startup. I would have preferred the default to be infinate focus, so you can take the picture instantly. this means I sometimes miss a good spontaneous pic (waiting for autofocus).

Russell F. Breedon is certainly not the biggest name to have designed a golf course in North Carolina, but both he and ownership stuck to some safe standards when creating the Pinewood Country Club. For one, on ownership’s part, sticking the word “Pine” in the title certainly brings happy thoughts to golfers familiar with the state’s sandhills. On Breedon’s part, turning to the celebrated architect who created many of the state’s other “Pine” courses proved to be a wise choice.
Those playing the 6,900-yard course will note Breedon’s general appreciation for Donald Ross, in both the placement of bunkers and the use of the rolling land as a hazard unto itself.
Not wanting simply recreate a tribute course, of course, Breedon took some liberties to emulate the trends the golf during the ‘70s, when the course was designed. One example is the downhill par five at No. 3, where big hitters can go for the green in two, if they feel bold enough to carry nearly 40 yards of pond in front of the green.
Although a true country club, Pinewood’s golf facilities are open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The city of Asheboro is a surprising crossroads in North Carolina. Situated in the ancient Uwharrie Mountain range, Asheboro creates a unique link among the piedmont, Sandhills, and Appalachian geologic zones of the state. On this common ground, it is fitting that Asheboro’s strong golf options also capture three styles of architecture, each from a unique era in design history.
Representing the classic period is one of North Carolina’s best nine-hole courses, the Asheboro Municipal Golf Club. This 1937 Ross design gently flows over a rolling property with perched putting surfaces. On the other end of the spectrum is the modern Mike Strantz course at Tot Hill Farm, once rated among America’s toughest courses. The rugged oddities found throughout Tot Hill Farm make other polarizing Strantz properties seem benign.
Built in 1971, Pinewood Country Club presents a more typical routing for a central North Carolina golf course. Clearly constructed for a strong playing membership, the twists and turns of Pinewood present challenges both for recreational golfers and the state’s finest amateurs. Though historically private, Pinewood has now opened its doors with limited tee times for the public.
The two nines at Pinewood could not be more dissimilar, each telling its own individual tale. The front pays homage to the historic mountains on which the course was built. Every one of the par fours and fives rises or falls steeply over hills and valleys. Interestingly, the bold green complexes follow suit and feature terrifying plateaus and knobs. They are as wild as the nearby North Carolina Zoo.
The course’s opening three holes are attention-grabbing, capturing the spirit of this undulating, strategic design. The first hole bends to the left, though the fairway is canted to the right. This tilt makes the approach shot into the green challenging, since the natural miss will force balls out-of-bounds. The landing zone at the second provides a major speed slot for the aggressive shot-shaper, but may also leave an awkward downhill lie to a sharply uphill green. The massive plummet at the par five third is inspiring, but tightened by forest, sand, and a pond situated in the ideal driving location. Each of the greens on these holes feature no less than three distinct tiers, forcing players to be precise on their approach.
The theme of harsh, rolling terrain all but disappears on the second nine. Mapped over more gentle topography, many holes after the turn feel more like a stroll in a park, especially on the stretch from 12 – 15. This is not to suggest that the back lacks teeth. Bunkers pinch or flank the ideal landing zone on every one of the par fours and fives, and on many occasions, knolls carefully funnel even well struck tee shots into the sand. Not a single green on the back welcomes a run-up shot, as bunkers also guard the entry to every putting surface.
In the same way that Asheboro bridges the gap between so many regions of the state, Pinewood Country Club is the middle ground of two other notable golf properties in the area. Pinewood manages to test any type of player while still showcasing the natural beauty of the Uwharrie landscape. | <urn:uuid:978ce75e-87b0-461a-b618-ac69d5d7f588> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.top100golfcourses.com/golf-course/pinewood-country-club | 2021-04-11T17:43:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038064898.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210411174053-20210411204053-00587.warc.gz | en | 0.932017 | 941 |
Dear baby boy in heaven,
I didn’t know when I lost you, though I could have guessed. The acts of mothering I missed out on with you, and that you didn’t get to experience yet. They were taken from us.
With rainbow babies filling my home and my heart, now I know.
The tears I would wipe from your soft cheek. My hand brushing hair from your forehead. Tracing your jawline from your ear to your chin, and tracing my finger down the middle of your forehead to the tip of your sweet little nose.
Rocking you back and forth in my arms, even (especially) as you grew out of them. Rubbing your back, feeling your soft skin and your cozy pajamas. Watching your chest rise and fall in your deep sleep.
Holding your chubby, tiny hand in mine, my thumb fitting perfectly in your palm. Kissing your cheeks over and over to your giggles. Giving you baths and watching you explore. Playing hilarious games that only you and I understand.
The hugs, the cuddles, the warmth. Bundling you up to take you for a walk in the cool winter air. The messes, the sleepless nights. The diapers, the food, the spills.
The ability to tune everything out to tune in to our own little world, even if just for a moment. Looking into your eyes as you drift off into dreamland. The big and small wins, the times when you’d take a step back before leaping forward with your milestones, so many firsts and so many lasts.
These are just some of the things we missed out on. You deserved all of them and more – you deserved a lifetime.
I appreciate this time with your siblings in a way I maybe wouldn’t have otherwise. Funny how an absence can lead to something feeling so fulfilling.
For now I’ll pour the love I have for four children into the three I have here with me. But don’t worry, I still have plenty of love left for you. Goodnight, sweet boy.
Mommy loves you. | <urn:uuid:3a7dce18-15f3-4411-b23c-10971ef8b74d> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://pregnancyafterlosssupport.org/dear-baby-the-things-we-didnt-get-to-do/ | 2022-05-19T05:18:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662525507.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519042059-20220519072059-00364.warc.gz | en | 0.952748 | 443 |

The Warwick Award For Excellence In Enterprise Education
Thorpepark Primary School
Thorpepark Primary School was the first school to be presented with Warwick Award for Excellence in Enterprise Education following their whole school approach to enterprise and the "enterprising" way that at a range of events the schools Year 6 children gave an great insight into how the school had made a success of their ‘Blossom Jewellery’ business in partnership with Dorthothy Perkins and Beverley Beads, The team produced a fantastic profit of over £700. The enterprising children even topped this by selling a further £85's worrth of jewellery to delegates at events!
Thorpepark Primary School were presented with the Warwick Award for Excellence in Enterprise Education duruing Global Entreprenurship Week at the Guildhall by Neil Hudgell, the Chairman of Hull Kingston Rovers, and Peter Stagg of the Centre for Education and industry at Warwick University.
Neil Hudgell said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my first experience of Hull Ready and congratulate Thorpepark in achieving the Warwick Award. It is refreshing to see so many local businesses give their time and money so freely in aid of such an innovative programme. This is a great example of what the Hull business community is about, giving something back for the betterment of the children of this city and their personal development.”
Peter Stagg said " I look forward to working with more schools in Hull to help them follow in Thorpepark’s footsteps and achieve the Excellence in Enterprise Education Award, as I know that many of them are enterprising places"
Nathan Lawler (10), pupil at Thorpepark Primary said "Before enterprise I would sit in class and I wouldn't do anything but now I regularly use the Big 13 Enterprise Skills. It was my first time in the Guildhall and the atmosphere was 'classic'. I liked it when myself and Macauley got to go up and do our presentation. I still can't believe I managed to keep my nerve! Macauley and I both loved taking charge because we got a taste of power. We loved having the roles reversed! For the t-shirt competition we had to pick the best design from all of the tables.
Macauley Watts (10), pupil at Thorpepark Primary " It was great to be the first school to win the Warwick Award and the two hundred and fifty pounds! Mrs Thurston and the school are really proud of us all. The t-shirt designing was brilliant and we did not cheat just because our teacher was on the winning table! Thank you Mike! We could not have done it with out you.THANK YOU!"

Testimonial by Steve Guntang, the owner of Atlantic Construction Company LLC
“Knowing your margin is very important when running a business. It is something I learn once I started coaching with René. For 2-3 years I was a one-man-show running my business and dealing with growth. Once I began coaching and began digging into my numbers, only then did I realize we were running on skinny margins. Once we took control of our numbers and made efforts to grow our margins, our bottom line increased by leaps and bounds. René helped me recognize and supplied ideas to assist in growing the margins to maintain a healthy business in today’s environment as well as grow profits.” | <urn:uuid:d42c6344-b800-4e16-81b3-8137de65ce1e> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://midatlanticstrategicservices.com/better-margins/ | 2017-04-24T09:13:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119225.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00098-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963449 | 253 |

I am getting asked more about security these days than in the previous decade - perhaps there is renewed focus on this area as we hear about hacker groups taking what they want from organisations and companies in the News every day. Below is an answer I gave to a recent email question on what AIX offers on the security side, spotting vital files being changed and what parts of PowerSC to use for quick wins.
For AIX security the three big hitters for "out of the box" AIX hardening are:
Ditch telnet/ftp in the entire computer room
The aixpert command
1) Ban the use of telnet/ftp = this is fairly obvious as any computer room still using them has no security at all from network packet sniffers! I learnt this when 5 years ago I tried the Open Source Ethereal software and suddenly though "hang on you can see all the ftp and telnet password with no effort at all!" Just ban them forever - secure ftp and ssh should be the default. ssh is installed with AIX as default in the past couple of years.
2) The aixpert command is a regular AIX tool that uses a policy file to automatically lock down AIX - it has various settings like low, medium, high and SOX/Corbit. The policy has well over a hundred rules and tools that it runs in all the regular areas like: password aging and lockout on failed log-ins, SUID bit programs, disabling services, blocking port scanning, etc.. The high setting needs care or you might never get to log back in (set the root password just before trying it or it might age out). It is best to try this on a test machine - then disable rules for thing you do need. For example, I had to enable DNS server and NFS for my webserver as it provides these functions too - you just need to comment out those rules. This same command is use to get a report of violations to the policy. Once you have sane set of rules you can roll the policy out across many machines and run one command for a consistent hardening. This is like getting the IBM AIX Security team with decades of experience working for you with regular rule improvements (with AIX upgrades) - this is the only way to cope with large teams of hackers. See my video for get you started information at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1MmuZOntxI
3) Roll based Access Control (RBAC) was built in to the first AIX 6 release and enhanced since. This is then use to stop people logging in as root/super-user so you can hand off specific tasks on specific resources to lesser user accounts. This drastically limits the damage that mistakes when using root can cause. See my video for get you started information at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvylFrQX93U Note: this video does was made before specific resource control was added.
4) On the monitoring of vital file changes, the PowerSC Express Real-Time Compliance (RTC) Alerts extra package will email or SNMP trap when specific files are changed or their RWX permissions change and you can add your own vital files to the list like the famous init.ora file for Oracle settings as an example. This is handled by direct kernel notifications so we are talking sub-second times to raise alerts not polling or daily cron scripts. This means you catch the mistake or even find out you are being hacked while it happens so you can react. See my video for get you started information at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OFELpnzeFA
PowerSC quick wins - RTC is very quick to understand, implement and get the benefit - like 30 minutes at most. Then roll it out across machines quickly.
Other quick wins from PowerSC are:
5) PowerSC Trusted Firewall (short-cut) this is mostly a performance boost item on the virtual networks but can save money (lowers external Firewall devices bandwidth) and drastically reduce network latency. See my video for get you started information at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PT2Ggwu0lg
6) PowerSC Trusted Logging - if you don't already remotely ship your AIX logs to a log archive then this feature will ship the logs to your Virtual I/O Servers which is a million times better than doing nothing about your logs. It is easy to setup as it uses your vSCSI VIOS client to VIOS conection over memory. You now have the information that allows you to postmortem analyse what just happened! See my video for get you started information at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ8hE1NH8CY
7) PowerSC Compliance Automation - this automates and adds extra aixpert style profiles to cover further industry standards.

A small species of frog reaching up to 2 cm in body length. It has a brown back, with darker brown spots. The lower half of the sides of the body and head are bluish-grey. There are white spots along the upper lip. The belly is white, with grey specks. The pupil is horizontal, and the iris is gold. The groin and the backs of the thighs are orange-red. Fingers are unwebbed and toes are slightly webbed, both without discs.
Eggs, tadpoles, and development time are unknown, but are likely to be similar to those of other Uperoleia species. Breeds during summer to autumn in the wet season.
Looks very similar to Uperoleia crassa, Uperoleia borealis, Uperoleia inundata, and Uperoleia minima in its distribution, but is smaller than all these species except Uperoleia minima, which has a different call.

Author has written 39 stories for SeaQuest, Bonanza, Lord of the Rings, and Stargate: SG-1.
My nick name is Jules as my user name suggests.
I live in Australia and work from home as a genealogist/researcher tracing family trees and have a number of online stores at Oztion and Ebay, Bonanzle and others where I sell lots of different items.
I write 4 different genres: Bonanza (Western), Lord of the Rings (Fantasy) and SeaQuest (Sci-Fi) and Stargate SG1 (Sci-Fi)
Writing is my escape from the rest of the world as I write about characters that I am comfortable telling a story about.
If you have any questions about any of the stories or characters that I write, I am only an email away.
http://julesnotebook.wordpress.com/ - the new way to keep up with all my new stories and updates.
UPDATES ARE COMING SOON FOR A FEW STORIES - Just trying to find to fit them all in. Please know that ALL stories will be completed - even if I haven't added anything for a while.
Please keep reading.
FIXING UP TO BE DONE:
Some of my SeaQuest stories - even the completed ones - need a good general overhaul - some with just errors and mistakes - others need some scenes taken out and reworked or completely new scenes.
So if you haven't read any of those stories before - then please look here for the changes - I will post when I can about which ones have been changed.
Some of them have Lucas just being too babish - and I want to correct that in some places.
I will do this as I continue to write the other stories. Strictly going on time frame - THE WILL was the first story that I ever wrote for SeaQuest - but that story involves characters from the second season. I also want to draw connections between some of the stories that follow on from one another.
Please keep checking back for updates.
STORIES RECENTLY UPDATED:
TO DIE CREAMING - Chapter 3 posted - 28th June 2010
In my SeaQuest Universe - the 3rd Season NEVER happened. Captain Hudson never existed and certainly was never Captain of the SeaQuest. There is only ever one - Captain Bridger.
Kristin Westphalen appears as the Doctor in all my stories. I was never a fan of the character Wendy Smith from the Second season - though she does appear in a couple of my stories.
In my SeaQuest Universe - it is assumed that Kristin and Bridger are together, though I have never written anything about them being married. Other authors have that honour and have done better with that storyline than I could have.
In my SeaQuest Universe - I write that Bridger adopts Lucas as his son - and there will be upcoming stories that both explore the beginning of this process - as well as others that describe the ups and downs of this new relationship between them.
Finally, in my SeaQuest Universe - it is assumed that Lawrence Wolenczak abused his son Lucas physically, emotionally and psychologically and in some stories is in jail for these crimes. Other stories have him out of jail but still being revengeful towards Lucas and his new family.
NEXT STORIES TO BE UPDATED:
A PERFECT WORLD - Mycroft is returning to the Andromeda community with a reluctant Lucas and meet up with his group of rebels. The teenager is about to see first hand what has been happening and the influence that Cavanagh holds over the people. VERY CLOSE TO POSTING CHAPTER SIX - after Secret Device.
SEED OF DOUBT - Lucas remains trapped in a room with a gunman coming through and there is no where to hide. The SeaQuest crew are coming, but will they be in time to save their friend. Chapter 4 now posted.
STANFORD REUNION - An invitation arrives out of the blue and Lucas is trying to decide whether or not to accept. Lucas pulls out a box of old trinkets and memories that he thought he had forgotten about. Second chapter being written.
TROPICAL STORM - A party is being arranged on Bridger's island, but not all present are invited guests. A storm is beginning to brew, but that is only the start of their problems.
GHOST - Lucas is trying to convince himself that he is not going mad and wants to find out why the ghost is appearing to him. Kristin tries a new technique to try and help them see what the teenager is seeing.
RUN - Diana is trying to keep Lucas safely hidden away from Dalton and his gang as he recovers. Lucas decides to take some risks to ensure that his friends and family remain safe from Dalton, but the consequences for Lucas may be deadly. Revised and new material added.
SPIRIT: Lily and Mac have to find a way to stop Lawrence from taking the horse stud from underneath them. Mac comes up with an idea and they think they may finally have a chance to beat him. But then something happens that Lucas was not expecting, bringing everything they have worked towards, crashing down around him. Needs a major rewrite at the beginning - going to be some big changes to the plot.
THE FORGOTTEN YEARS: Lucas is headed back to the SeaQuest with a few of the crew, trying to remember who he is but not knowing who he is cannot compare with the dangerous situation that will soon emerge. New Chapter Added
HEART AND SOUL: Dagwood and Lucas are caught in a storm whilst they are clinging to a survival raft. Bridger and the crew are trying to find them, but so is Frank Cobb now that he knows who the teenager is. Needs a major rewrite at the beginning - going to be some big changes to the plot.
MY MOTHER'S SON - Lucas does some digging and finds out some disturbing information about his mother. Some clues begin to emerge as to who her killer may be. New chapter being written - plot has been added to signficiantly.
THE GUNFIGHTER - Round 1 of the Gunfight is about to begin and the outcome has yet to be determined. Can Joe gun someone down in cold blood to safe his own life and his family? New chapter posted.
RIVERBOAT GAMBLER - Ben and his boys are desperately trying to find Joe and rescue him from Marchant Seline. Joe is trying to remember who he is in his new surroundings. Update almost ready

Assessment of Limited English Proficient Hispanic Students
Diane Kriger Wilen, Carmen van maanen Sweeting
ABSTRACT: This article discusses the psychoeducational assessment of limited English proficient Hispanic youngsters in the American school. Caveats in the assessment process related to the timing of the referral for evaluation, prereferral interventions, a lingualism vs. bilingualism, verification of birthdates, Spanish translations of English tests, the use of interpreters, provision of information regarding the assessment process in the native language of the home, and the educational history of the student are noted. Strategies for the evaluation of background data, language functioning, intellectual functioning, academic functioning, and adaptive behavior functioning are presented. Emphasis is placed on the use of non-verbal measures of intelligence and the importance of language and academic evaluations in both English and Spanish in order to obtain comparative data.

Popular TV actor Ram Kapoor grooved to the tunes of "Ek punjaban" during his appearance on game show "Kaun Banega Crorepati 6i".
The actor, along with his "Bade Acche Laggte Hai" co-star Sakshi Tanwar,
made a guest appearence on the Jodi special episode of the show, hosted
by Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Both Ram and Saakshi were at it as they pulled each other's leg. Then
came a point in the game when Saakshi Tanwar challenged Ram to answer the next
question correctly, failing which he would have to touch Saakshi's feet.
Ram eventually lost the bet and was about to fulfill the demand, when
Big B interrupted.
He jokingly said: "We cannot afford you bending down to touch her feet, so you better dance."
Ram got up from the hot seat and made his way to the centre of the stage
and danced to the song "Ek Punjaban", originally picturised on Big B.

Go for a Friday or a Sunday instead. You will be surprised to know that you have the chance to save at least a few thousand dollars in cost and expenses through something as simple as this. Your wedding photographer Essex, along with the rest of your wedding vendors, will surely charge you more than the usual and this is an excess in costs that you can certainly do without at the end of the day. The thing is, there are a lot of people out and about on a Saturday.
You probably won’t have the wedding venue all to yourself and what that technically means is that they are bound to add on some kind of premium to what they would normally charge you if it were a day other than a Saturday. It will surprise you how something as simple as changing the day to a day before or after Saturday can drastically improve your rates while you are at it.
Even if you feel as if you will be doing your guests a real solid because Saturday is normally a non-workday, the truth of the matter is that they will to out of their way to be there for you during your special day if they value you in their lives. You will get tremendous savings somewhere in the process which is why you should definitely look things up accordingly. This will also help you out a lot when you are booking a wedding photographer Essex because he is less likely to have major bookings on a week day.
Take your time.
Having a long engagement will actually turn out to work for you because it gives you a lot of time to plan the wedding out the right way. You aren’t pressured for time or anything like that and you have the luxury to go through all of the options and possibilities simply because you can. Rushing into booking someone as important such as a professional wedding photographer Essex, for example, could mean the unravelling of your wedding plans and this is not the type of thing that you would want to go through with when it all comes down to it. You want to take things slow so that you can think through everything in a leisurely pace.
Save the date just right before peak season.
It gives you all of the low rates of the off season while still getting a glimpse of the nice weather that peak season brings in. talk to your wedding venue about this as well as to the rest of your other wedding vendors. The simplest of solutions can give you tremendous savings so go ahead and get that figured out as much as possible. This is what you call strategy and practicality all rolled into one. It is all based on timing and cunning on the end of the bride so make sure that you have both worked out comfortably when you are setting up the date for your big wedding day.
Everyone wants their wedding photography to end in a success.
In wedding photography, success translates to spot on wedding photographs. These are photographs that just takes the viewer’s breathe away. Creating these jaw dropping photos isn’t as difficult as it seems. In fact, it is fairly simple. All you need to do is create a good concept for your wedding photography. If you ask wedding photographers Bournemouth, they will tell you that concept building is the most crucial part when planning for your wedding photography. This is the make or break. However, not everyone understands what constitutes a concept. Don’t worry, this article covers the all the basic “need-to-knows” of a wedding photography concept.
Roughly defined a concept is the central basis for your wedding photography.
Every shot from your wedding photographers Bournemouth must be anchored on your concept. This is the unifying thread which ties up your wedding photos. A cluster of unrelated photos doesn’t really make a good wedding photo album. Cohesiveness is one element which makes your wedding photographs look great. No one wants messy wedding pictures. A concept can be any general idea or atmosphere you want your wedding photography to give out.
Basically, it is the goal vision of your wedding photography. You want your viewers to see a certain idea or feeling when they view your wedding photos. For example, your concept for your wedding photography is vintage. Thus, you make sure to shoot at locations which are old and would give off the 1950’s feels. You should always make sure to stay as close to the concept as possible. The closer your wedding photography is to your concept, the more successful is your wedding photography.
After discussing the definition of a concept we move on to planning. In actuality, deciding on a concept may be a little tiresome. It is mentally draining since you need to squeeze out your creative juices in order to form a concept that is hip, cool, and original. A dull concept will give you dull photos. When planning out for your wedding photography starts out by listing down prospective concepts.
No matter how far-out or weird, just list them down.
This process is called brainstorming. It is important that you do not start trimming off until you have a long list of potential words. After you have list down a couple of words, start trimming off. You need to continue reducing until you reach one and only one concept. A single concept will breed cohesiveness and this is what is best for your wedding photography. You can also mix up to concept until you get one which balances out the two ideas. This way, you get the best of both worlds for your wedding photography. Once you got the concept, there is only one thing left to do.
The last thing is to decide whether the concept is good enough.
For this step, you need the help of your wedding photographers Bournemouth. Their opinions will matter greatly. They can spot a good concept from miles away. This is a skill they picked up in their years in the wedding photography business. Have a chat with your wedding photographers and if they give the approval seal, you can be certain your concept is a good one.
You need to make sure that the Bristol wedding photographer you have in mind can post process.
Your wedding photos will come out looking so much better if your photographer has the capability or the capacity to edit the photos and touch them up accordingly in all of the best ways. Modern photography is the kind of thing that has evolved accordingly over the years or even over the past decades. This is something that you should play around with while you are getting options checked out.
It takes an awful lot of work to actually post process wedding photos accordingly and this is something that you should be aiming for while you are at it. There are a lot of post processing factors to consider when you are trying to learn about it. This is not the type of thing that you should be rushing through. You should take stock of the situation in all of the best ways while you are at it.
Ask your Bristol wedding photographer to show you his photos produced.
Ask for the full coverage as much as you possibly can. It is very important that you look at the possibility of photographers meeting the coverage required from one end to the other. It is quite easy for a Bristol wedding photographer to produce a few handpicked shots but you need to know for sure that the photographer of your choice will have enough stamina and capabilities to actually see things through from start to end and from point to point. If a wedding photographer is not someone who is willing enough to show you the full wedding photography results of what he has managed to produce in the past, then you should think about whether he is worth booking or not in the first place.
Lucky shots are all but common but a really great photographer will be able to produce great wedding photos consistently no matter what happens.
This way, you get to really figure out what someone is capable of at the end of the day. You need to be patient with the way that you are handling things like this at some point or so. Keep yourself focused all the time when you are seeking out which Bristol wedding photographer you would like to hire so make sure that you go ahead and take this into account when it all comes down to it.
Talk to your professional Bristol wedding photographer about his timelines for delivery.
You can’t sit around all the time second guessing when your final wedding photos will arrive and this is something that you should be prioritizing no matter what happens. A good timeline would be around 2 weeks or so. This way, you get to make sure that you know what to expect and when to expect you final wedding photos. There is no point in you rushing through the procurement of your final wedding photos. It will work out to your advantage to know what to expect though.

Simplify your package when you are trying to book a professional wedding photographer Essex.

Skip the physical proof book.
Make sure that you go ahead and review your wedding photos online instead. You don’t want it and you certainly wouldn’t need it. Besides, it will turn out to be so much more convenient to view your proofs online instead. Think about it, it is cost efficient and it is something that does not require physical or material effort both on your end as well as on the end of the wedding photographer Essex that you are working with as well so it really is a win win situation.
A physical proof book can actually more or less knock you back at around 300 dollars or more and although it might not seem or sound like a lot of money in the beginning, it can be extra money that you can allot to the rest of the other expenses that you might have that ensues the thought of you booking a professional wedding photographer Essex in the first place.
Do you want more products and services but are unwilling to go for the expensive wedding photography package that your wedding photographer Essex is offering out to you? Make sure that you go a la carte instead. A la carte services is the way of the future and they can save you a whole ton of money. Instead of booking a supposed high rated wedding photography package, go for a basic one and nitpick through your a la carte services instead. Think about this the next time that you find yourself in the situation of dealing with or negotiating with a professional wedding photographer Essex at the end of the day.
Ask for a clean wedding photography contract from your wedding photographer Essex.
If a professional wedding photographer doesn’t offer out a contract to you, then you should think twice before booking him in the first place. A well written and well mapped out contract can save you from a lot of heartaches somewhere down the road. Visit http://www.barrypaffeyphotography.co.uk/ if you want to see the work of a true professional.

Experience and Skills

You do not want to hire an amateur, do you? When in Essex, all you need to do is to get wedding photographer that can add great delight to your wedding.

In photography, to have the best shots you need to have all the required equipment to get good quality photos such as great camera lens and lighting. And because of this, it is highly necessary to hire a wedding photographer in Essex with professional services to make those pictures of good quality.
It is therefore, more important to get a distinct style in all of your photographs. Professional photographers will always ensure you have a good style that fulfills the way your wedding pictures will look like.
It is highly necessary to choose a professional photographer who is certified with Royal Photographic Society. An expert photographer in Essex is qualified and trained in photography, and this makes him highly proficient, skilled and recommended for all.
Therefore the need for a good photographer on the happiest day of your life is highly necessary to keep those new memories alive at all times and this is more reason why you should give it everything and make it the best you have always longed for. One of the ways to make your wedding remarkable and distinct is to employ the services of a professional wedding photographer Essex for your wedding pictures. You need to hire an expert because of the reasons listed above. You can get a skilled wedding photographer Essex from Studio Rochford to make your wedding photo a delight has you have always wished for. Nevertheless, a great photograph speaks more and offers great beauty to your wedding.
This might sound like something that will look really great in theory but you couldn’t be more wrong when it comes to things like this. You have to understand the fact that getting married in places like this might look great in the photos but what you need to understand is the fact that it can turn out to be a little too unrealistic most times. You need to be prepared for all of the possibilities that might happen and you should make it a point to go ahead and do something about it when it all comes down to it. The rustic look isn’t as low key or as low maintenance as it looks0.
If you are working with a limited budget, then you should even be more careful about it when it all comes down to it. Weddings like this are actually quite expensive to pull off. You have to understand the fact that you will have to rent out generators and make sure that there are bathroom facilities for you and your guests in order for this to work. This isn’t exactly that much of a provision when you are out in the woods or when you are in a barn of some sort. Sure, you will be giving your wedding photographers Hampshire great material to work with but you can also have equally interesting views when you hold the venue out somewhere that has all of the right amenities.
This is a particular trend that has taken on in the past couple of years or so. If you are thinking about getting naked cakes for your wedding, what you need to do right now is to just stop and listen to logic right off the bat. A naked cake might sound like a pretty good idea because it looks pretty and all that and your wedding photographers Hampshire will have fun shooting it but the truth of the matter is that the cake will dry out faster and it will not end up tasting great at all. it is impractical and just downright absurd. If you must insist on having one for photo purposes, make sure that you have a decent cake waiting in the back kitchen to give out to your guests. That will at least be a redeeming factor should you go on with it.
Don’t focus too much on staged photos either.
Staged wedding photos just take the natural order of things away from what a wedding is all about. Sure, it looks pretty but it will also turn out to be a bit awkward and a little too posed at the end of the day. Talk to your wedding photographers Hampshire about it and try to see if they have some valuable insights that they can give out to you. It would be so much better if you just focus on hiring a professional photographer Hampshire like mooreandmoorephotography.co.uk and let the photographer do his job while he is at it. You don’t have to exert effort on photos that come out looking contrived anyway. Besides, where’s the fun in all that?
If you want to save money on your wedding day, make it a point to not get married on a weekend.
It is a normal tendency for brides in general to bend a little over backwards to make sure that they make things convenient for the guests who are attending their wedding as much as possible but the thing is, you can be selfish during your wedding day. At the end of the day, it really isn’t all about other people and about what makes them feel comfortable or what is the most convenient thing for them will turn out to be. It is all about you and your partner and the union that you are having in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of God. It is a day that is to be shared with the people who matter to you and with the people who value you and your partner as well as the relationship that you have as well.
You don’t have to push for a weekend wedding just because you have other people in mind.
As a matter of fact, regardless if it is a weekday or a weekend, you can be rest assured that the people who value you a lot will make time to be there for you to spend your special day with you. plus, you will be able to cut down your wedding photography rates by up to 20% or more because weekdays are somewhat considered as slow days by photographers in general from all over the world.
Take your time with things and go ahead and book things early as much as you possibly can.
Most of the photographers out there will offer you a discount right out if you book around 6 months or more in advance. This can slash a considerable amount of money from what you were supposed to spend on wedding photography services. Imagine the freedom that will give you to reallocate funds to the rest of the other wedding vendors that you are planning to book for that special day. even if the photographer you book doesn’t offer you a discount right out, you will still be getting a price cut from the aspect of booking early alone because they have a different price range for when their services are booked in a rush. It is all about timing and proper negotiations.
Get married as well right before peak season starts off.
Being a June bride might appeal to you on paper but it will not be as appealing once you see the skyrocketing rates and add ons that your wedding photographer will end up charging you with. Book at a slow time of the year so that you can work things out even better.
Go for a base package when you are booking a professional wedding photographer of your choice.
Although some people will see wedding photography as a really expensive cost to have to go through with, there are a lot of ways for you to be smart with the way that you go through with your booking at the end of the day. You can still get the wedding photographer of your dreams. Go for a top wedding photographer like wedding photographers Dorset from Martin Bell Photography but you don’t have to go for the most expensive package that they are offering out. As a matter of fact, most of these photographers will allow you to customize your wedding photography package based on what you would like to get the most out of it.
This is the worst thing that you can possibly do when you are planning out a Hertfordshire wedding at some point or so. You will want to think things through well in advance if you want this to be strategic and purposeful. Anything last minute directly means that there will be add on charges and this is the type of thing that you ought to try to avoid as much as you possibly can.
Some people might reject your invite or not show up during the wedding but this is not something that you will have to worry about when it all comes down to it. As a matter of fact, you can actually turn something like this around. The thing about no shows or people who reject your invites is that they are more than happy to make up for the loss of their presence. You can exchange that for presents instead. Sign them up for a gift registry. You can even put up some sort of registry fund for your photography needs or for your wedding dress, and so on and so forth. Things like this can really have quite a huge turnout if you only commandeer things the right way while you are at it. Trim your wedding guest list down. What this also means is that you have fewer mouths to feed during the reception party and thus, less costs or expenses while you are at it.
Ask the photographer if wedding photography really is his main business or if it is the kind of thing that just happens to be a side gig somewhere. The difference is quite huge and something that should be influential in your decision to book someone as the official wedding photographer for your special day. The reason behind this is actually quite simple; you need to know right off the bat if someone is qualified enough to be considered for the job. More often than not, you will be able to sense what kind of outcome you will end up getting if you try to go ahead and dig a little bit more around the thought of whether someone is experienced enough or not to make the cut for you as the wedding photographer for your wedding. Even if someone has more than an ample amount of experience as a professional photographer but he has only covered a few shoots so far, you should still have your doubts about it one way or the other.
You need someone who has been shooting weddings for quite some time now.
The experience and the patience of someone who has been there and done that can really turn out to make quite a difference for you and for the wedding photos that are being produced when it all comes down to it. If you would like to book an expert who is into wedding photography in Hertfordshire, then your best bet would have to in going for http://www.rafeabrook.co.uk/.
There are few events in life that have the capability of measuring up to uniqueness and arsenal of special memories provided by the wedding day. This is due to the fact that the occurrence of a wedding for most individuals is once in a lifetime and not many activities or events can boast of that. Yes weddings take place on a regular basis but the main participants differ.
Individuals all over the world celebrate weddings in different styles and on the basis of diverse customs and the Indian wedding is one of them. Indians are very particular when it comes to their traditions and beliefs and this is very well reflected in the pride they take in showcasing their customs during their weddings. This is apparent from the first day the wedding preparations start as a lot of detail is paid to decoration and planning. This reason is enough for Indian couples when planning a traditional wedding to seek for Indian wedding photography services that can put in the same amount of dedication that went into the planning of the wedding.
There are three things that need to be evident in your photographer before contracting his or her Indian wedding photography services and they all revolve around “experience”.
Experience shooting a Sangeet ceremony
Your photographer would be able to capture pictures of the sangeet ceremony if he or she is able to relate to the customs made use of. The type of songs played, the way the relatives laugh and the way the children play through the night is all a part of the fun of an Indian wedding. The photographer should be able to capture those special delicate moments that need not be posed for while remaining invisible. The Sangeet ceremony is one that brings out the raw emotions of the family and friends and the only way you can get good pictures is if your photographer is familiar with the activities of the ceremony and has had prior experience covering them.
Experience shooting a Mehendi party
This is usually an event held for the application of intricate henna designs on the hands of the bride and it may take a while to dry. Hennas hold a lot of meaning for Indian weddings as custom requires the groom to find his name in the intricate design on his bride’s hand. The right photographer would be able to capture the beauty of the preceding activities leading to the henna design and also document the relations between friends and family as it is ongoing.
Experience shooting the actual wedding
No more planning as this is the actual event unfolding. Everyone knows their place already and so should the photographer. As the ceremony functions smoothly, so should the photographer. As the wedding couple, you need not have to worry about if the proper shots are being taken if adequate Indian wedding photography contractors were sought.
From the above, it is easy to deduce that the best photographer for an Indian wedding is somebody who has experience or knowledge of Indian customs. If you are still curious about other aspects of indian photography, try out www.sukhichandi.com.

Looking for a professional Aberdeen photographer that you can commission to cover or provide coverage for your wedding should involve you talking to the potential candidates that you have up on the table and interviewing them intensely as much as you possibly can. This is the type of thing that you need to really go ahead and take time out of your day for because there are a lot of things that you can determine or glean info from for as long as you are able to ask all of the right questions from the photographer from Aberdeen at the end of the day.
Don’t take this for granted. Interviewing your potential photographer candidates can really help you up the ante when it all comes down to it. It can really help you bring things to a completely different level and it can help you decipher and determine what traits or what features you should be looking for at the end of the day. Aside from asking the obvious questions, you should also go ahead and look into the not-so-obvious ones so that you have the odds working out to your favor as much as possible.
Ask a photographer from Aberdeen what his people management skills are. Albeit, this is a fairly vague or ambiguous question to start with but you can always wing it base off of the photographer from Aberdeen’s initial answers and you can follow through from there on out. What you need to focus on is the fact that you and your groom will turn out to be extremely busy during the wedding.
The event is all about you and all about celebrating your union after all. almost all of the events or almost all of the sequences of the wedding program will involve you and your groom at any point in time and your hired wedding photographer will be left off to wander and work all on his own with little to no supervision at all. he will be tasked to weave through throngs of people that he has most likely never met or never associated with in his life and this can be tricky if he doesn’t have the right people skills to help him out somewhere along the way.
Ask your wedding photographer as well if he has had experience or if he is at least familiar with your specific type of wedding ceremony. The thing is, wedding ceremonies can be quite unique depending on the couple that they are tailored out for. Most of the grooms and brides out there actually customize their wedding ceremonies depending on what rituals, practices and traditions they would like to observe, what their specific culture is, and what the head count will turn out to be.
Describe what your wedding plans are to your wedding photographer and try to see if this is something that similar to what he has shot before. This is where experience kicks in and this is why you should always attempt to book a professional Aberdeen photographer who is a veteran or who is seasoned in what he does.
When thinking about getting photo booth services for the party or for the event that you are planning out one way or the other, it is very important and a bit of a requirement to make sure that you actually find out as much as you can about it. don’t go head on and make the mistake of booking a photo booth operator when you know absolutely nothing about the trade, what the normal service inclusions are, what the average prices or rates usually are in your specific locations, what things to look out for and what to prioritize, and so on and so forth.
These are all basic stuff but stuff that you need to go ahead and figure out regardless and you need to keep yourself equipped and knowledgeable enough for what is coming up ahead. Although photo booths are not impossibly expensive, they aren’t for free either and it will cost you one way or the other so you might as well make sure that you will be able to go ahead and maximize the amount that is coming out of your pockets at the end of the day. Read up and ask around from friends and other contacts that may have experience in all things related to photo booth hires and services. Every little bit of knowledge and info can really help you out a lot at some point or so.
Understand that the photo booth services available out there usually range for roughly around 3 to 5 hours. You need to make sure that you set that particular standard as much as possible and that you don’t settle for anything less.
Quality is everything when it comes to trying to find or look for a photo booth service that you are shopping around with and this is the type of thing that you ought to really be looking out for at some point or so. You have to understand that when it comes to things like this, guest experience really is pretty much everything and this is what you ought to try to understand as much as possible at the end of the day.
High quality photos
A photo booth service is something that will more or less give your guests something that they can look forward to and take home with them. The least that you could end up doing is to make sure that the printer speed is fast enough so that it doesn’t end up annoying people somewhere along the way. If you need to ask for a demo just to ensure that the quality of the photo booth service that you and your guests will be getting your hands on will really turn out to make all of the difference in the world and it is just the type of thing that you should be prioritizing before you book or sign with someone for the job.
If you want a photo booth operator who can really turn out with high quality photos and with great and worthwhile guest experience somewhere in the process, then http://www.photobooth-fun.co.uk/ should be a service that you ought to keep in mind when it all comes down to it.
The first challenge that a bride is bound to come across with when she is dealing with the aspect of dealing with weddings in Cheshire is that the wedding venue will always be a bit of a decision puzzle. There are just so many different and beautiful wedding venues out there that making a decision purely based off of what looks good and what will most likely end up being something that the guests like can be a bit hard to go through with.
Luckily enough for you, there are a bunch of things that you can try to remember in order for you to end up with the perfect wedding venue option for you and for your partner at the end of the day. The first thing that you need to go ahead and check out as much as possible is finding a wedding venue that fits with the theme of the wedding.
Without the right kind of vibe, it will pretty much end up being a lost cause at the end of the day. Then you need to aim your focus on the head count of the people who will be attending. You will not be able to get a decent quote for a wedding venue booking if you don’t know what the number of heads will be for your wedding guest list at any point in time.
Check availability of venue.
There is also the aspect of availability of the wedding venue in Cheshire that you need to take a look at one way or the other. This is crucial especially if the wedding venue is quite popular and if the wedding will be during peak wedding months. Don’t book the first one you see and have the patience to really see everything available before you take your pick so that you don’t end up regretting anything somewhere in the process.
Then you need to move forward with the important aspect of getting a deal set up with a professional wedding photographer of your choice one way or the other. Without a great wedding photographer getting things covered for you, you might end up losing certain moments forever. What you want is someone who will be able to immortalize the moments as they come along during the wedding. This is something that you will only be able to achieve the right way if things actually start to unfurl the right way for you and for all of the things that you have always wanted to achieve or accomplish for the wedding at the end of the day.
A wedding photographer will be right for you if 1, you will be able to afford him; 2, he will be able to bring life to all of your visions and dreams for the coverage; and 3, he will turn out to have the perfect personality fit and will end up working well with you and with your partner at the end of the day. Check http://www.smhphotography.co.uk/ if you have a need for a high quality professional wedding photographer in the Cheshire area.
If it is the type of thing that you will be able to afford, it will be in your best interest to actually get a wedding planner to help set everything up for you for the wedding. This is particularly true if you don’t happen to know the Cheshire area that much.
Local wedding planners will most likely have all of the right contacts and have all of the right locations figured out the right way. You don’t have to stress yourself out too much over trying to start things off from scratch all of the time. You will also most likely come up with all of the best deals if the wedding planner will be able to mediate them for you the right way when it all comes down to it.
When going through your list of contacts for wedding photographers that you might possibly hire for your special day, you need to go through the rigors of actually interviewing them or seeing them face-to-face. An actual in-person contact or interaction will be so much more different than just looking at someone’s profile online. You got to ask various follow you otherwise would not have thought up somewhere along the way and this is very important. You got to cross-check facts based on what they previously answer to you this makes the whole Endeavor so much shorter and so much more definite when it all comes down to it. Prepare your interview questions well ahead of time so that you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Make sure that the agenda of the questions is more or less in line with what you were trying to find out from your potential wedding photographers in the first place. Go for something that is very well planned and organized and things are bound to work out for you the right way when it all comes down to it.
Make sure as well that you are able to gauge the professionalism of the wedding photographers that you were thinking about hiring for the job. Keep in mind that this wedding photographer will end up representing you as a client because technically, you hired him and you entrusted him with the responsibility of dealing and facing the guest who will be attending your wedding. You need someone who is presentable how to manage and handle himself the right way there are huge crowds and even if the situation may at times be a little bit stressful 2 have to deal with. Try to talk to the other previous clients that the photographer has managed to work with in the past. Try to ask for recommendations and try to ask them about their overall feedback on the wedding photographer.
Ask about equipment.
All of this isn’t something that you would know in detail in terms of technical proficiency, you should at least make it a point to ask a photographer about his equipment. What you are looking for is someone who has at least one other backup camera there will be able to save the day in the event that any equipment malfunctions happen somewhere along the way. You also need a photographer to make sure that he has a camera that can shoot in the raw format. RAW is technically the purest and the clearest format for images available right now. If a photographer shoots in raw, he will be able to easily correct any issues with the photos and this is something that will work out to your advantage as a client. Try to go ahead and keep this in mind as much as you possibly can whenever you are more or less in the market for a great wedding photographer from Hertfordshire. Anything can be done and anything is possible for as long as you come into it with a serious and well organized plan in mind all of the time. | <urn:uuid:c5a513bc-a024-4bcb-b559-644ff899ba94> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://www.dpishow.com/page/2/ | 2018-02-21T17:27:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813691.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221163021-20180221183021-00723.warc.gz | en | 0.973428 | 8,417 |

And I wonder why can’t I just shed my skin. It is in tatters anyway from all the pulling and stretching I had to do to feel like I fit in.
It feels foreign against my flesh and bones. It feels restrictive concealing everything I hold within.
This is not who I am.
I didn’t choose this.
I’m not home yet.
Not in this body.
A/N — Be You. That is the only thing that matters. ❤
All the love.

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the country’s leading presidential experts has been named an in-house scholar for the New-York Historical Society.
The museum told The Associated Press on Monday that Douglas Brinkley will take on the newly created role of presidential historian. Brinkley, a commentator for CNN and history professor at Rice University, has written about Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, among others. As part of the society’s Presidential Project, Brinkley will oversee a panel of scholars that includes such prize winners as Annette Gordon-Reed, Sean Wilentz, Jon Meacham and Patricia O’Toole. Through the Presidential Project, the museum seeks to educate the general public about the “role, powers and responsibilities” of the executive office.
The New-York Historical Society was founded in 1804 and is widely regarded as the city’s oldest museum. | <urn:uuid:1d8af7a4-08de-49bb-b196-899c009c4af2> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.breitbart.com/news/douglas-brinkley-to-be-presidential-scholar-for-ny-museum/ | 2018-09-18T15:26:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267155561.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180918150229-20180918170229-00570.warc.gz | en | 0.940213 | 190 |

The present invention relates generally to the field of masks, and more specifically to masks which are used to administer a gas, such as oxygen, to a patient.
The administration of gas, and particularly oxygen, to a patient is often unsatisfactory. The administration, regulation, and efficiency are very poor since a relatively unknown volume of oxygen is often delivered. One reason is that many masks do not form an adequate seal with the patient's face. This may either be due to the general shape of the mask or the positioning of the mask on the patient's face. Additionally, typical masks are uncomfortable to wear and often interfere with the patient's field of view. As a result, most masks are improperly repositioned by the patient in an attempt of increase user comfort.
Typical face masks are particularly problematic for patients who wear eyeglasses or spectacles. Not only does the mask block the patient's field of view, but the upper portion of the mask that contacts the nose displaces the eyeglass frame rendering use of the eyeglasses difficult or impossible. The patient is forced to either readjust the spectacle frame to a non-ideal position, or to readjust the face mask to permit proper positioning of the eyeglasses. Readjustment of the face mask may place the mask in an awkward or uncomfortable position, and may interfere with the proper delivery of oxygen or other gas. Improper delivery of oxygen can be extremely serious and if prolonged, may result in hypoxia. This may result in medial complications and increased medical costs.
Most gas delivery masks are secured to the face with an elastic band or strap. Typically, the strap is secured around the patient's neck or head and attaches to the face mask along an outside edge. Generally, the straps attach to the face mask at about the midpoint of the mask. This has significant drawbacks. When the strap is secured around the patient's head, the strap is typically placed just over the ears. The strap forms a downward angle from the ears to the attachment point on the mask. Since the strap is disposed at an angle, the elastic or spring action of the strap tends to cause the mask to "ride up" or "creep" along the face until it interferes with the patient's vision. This is uncomfortable and represents a potential health risk, as it may cause tissue damage or irritation to the eye area.
Gas delivery masks are also used to deliver humidified gas or air to the patient. The humidified gas or air appears as a thick fog or mist. It has been found that when the mask is positioned in an improper position, such as when the mask has "crept" upward on the patient's face, many patients, particularly elderly patients, experience fear and anxiety when the fog or mist escapes from the mask and approaches the eyes. Such patients may refuse to wear the mask under these conditions.
Examples of known masks are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,201,205 (Bartholomew), 4,231,363 (Grimes), 4,32 8,797 (Rollins III), and 5,400,781 (Davenport). However, these previously known masks do not include the overall combination of structural and operational features of the instant invention which together provide a mask which can be comfortably used by patients and which does not interfere with the eyes or eyeglasses of the user.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to substantially overcome the above described problems.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel face mask that does not interfere with the eyes or eyeglasses of the patient such that the mask can be used in combination with eyeglasses.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a novel face mask that is secured to the patient's face by a strap disposed in a position so that the mask does not tend to shift position on the patient's face.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a novel face mask having a nose portion that contacts the patient's nose substantially below the bridge of the nose.
It is still an object of the present invention to provide a novel face mask having an enlarged chin portion to facilitate proper seating against the chin of the patient.
The disadvantages of present face masks are substantially overcome with the present invention by providing a novel improved gas delivery mask. The face mask includes a nose portion that only extends partially along a portion of the nose of the patient. The nose portion terminates in an apex which contacts the nose approximately halfway between the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose. Additionally, the nose portion "hugs" the contour of the nose and does not laterally extend toward the eyes of the patient. This permits the patient to wear eyeglasses or spectacles since the spectacles may be positioned in the usual way without interference from the nose portion of the face mask. This significantly improves user comfort and provides less incentive for the patient to remove or adjust the face mask.
The elastic strap which secures the face mask to the patient's face attaches to the upper portion of the nose portion and permits the strap to be disposed in a flat or horizontal angle relative to the patient's head. This eliminates the tendency for the face mask to "creep" upward under elastic tension of the strap. Known face masks are attached to the strap at about the midpoint of the mask causing the strap to be disposed at an upward angle. This tends to pull the mask upward and eventually causes interference with the patient's vision. The present invention eliminates this problem. The present improved gas delivery mask is configured to remain attached to the patient's face and facilitate the proper delivery of gas, such as oxygen. Since proper delivery of gas is maintained, medical complications resulting from the improper delivery of gas are eliminated. This may reduce overall medical costs and improve patient comfort and satisfaction.
More specifically, the face mask of the present invention includes a body portion forming an open sided chamber having a peripheral edge for contacting the face of the patient. The body portion is configured to overlie the face of the patient, including overlying a portion of the patient's nose, mouth, and chin. The body portion has an integrally formed nose portion and chin portion where the body portion increases in width from the nose portion toward the chin portion. Accordingly, the body portion has a generally triangular shape.
The nose portion has a reduced dimension such that a contour of the nose portion conforms to the contour of the nose of the patient forming a sealing fit therebetween. The nose portion has an upper end terminating in an apex extending toward the bridge of the nose and is configured to contact the nose at a point substantially below the bridge of the nose so as to eliminate interference between the nose portion and the eyes of the patient. The nose portion has a lower end terminating in a substantially horizontal shelf which includes a coupling downwardly depending from the shelf. The coupling is configured to be releasably coupled to a gas supply tube for supplying the gas to the patient. The nose portion includes a pair of apertures arranged to admit a naso-gastiric tube or a nasal suction tube into an interior portion of the nose portion for insertion into the nostril of the patient. Also included is an elastic strap secured proximal the peripheral edge of the body portion to retain the face mask against the face of the patient. The elastic strap is affixed along the upper end of the nose portion proximal the apex and meets the face mask at an angle such that the upward urging of the face mask is substantially eliminated.
The chin portion is formed proximal the lower end of the nose portion and includes a forward peripheral wall depending from the horizontal shelf of the nose portion where the peripheral wall is configured to contact a forward portion of the chin of the patient. The chin portion has a skirt formed about the forward peripheral wall where the skirt depends inwardly toward the patient. The chin portion is configured to receive the chin of the patient.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a specific embodiment of a face mask shown in an operative position;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a specific embodiment of the face mask shown in FIG. 1, particularly illustrating simultaneous use of the face mask and eyeglasses by the patient;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective views of a prior art face mask;
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of a specific embodiment of the face mask shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of a specific embodiment of the face mask shown in FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, a face mask 10 is shown general placed about a face 12 of a user or patient 14. An elastic strap or band 16 is shown fastened to a peripheral edge 18 of the face mask 10 at a point near the top edge 20 of the face mask. The attachment point is labeled as reference letter "A." The elastic strap 16 is arranged to encircle the back of the patient's head 26 and may, for example, pass just above the patient's ears 28. Note that in FIG. 2, the patient 14 is shown wearing eyeglasses or spectacles 30.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, like reference numerals are used to denote like structures. In FIGS. 3 and 4, a known mask 40 is shown held in place on the patent's face 12 with the elastic strap 16. The strap 16 is shown fastened to the mask 40 at a point about half way between the top edge 20 and the bottom edge 22 of the face mask 40. The attachment point is labeled with reference letter "B." Because the attachment point "B" is generally in the middle of the face mask 40 relative to its length, and because the elastic band 16 generally meets the ears 28 of the patient 14, the elastic band is disposed at a downward angle 42 relative to the face 12 of the patient 14, as shown in FIG. 3. This downward angle 42 causes the face mask 40 to be pulled or urged upward toward the forehead 44 of the patient 14. This is uncomfortable for the patient 14 and may even pose a health risk. When the face mask 40 is pulled upward or "creeps" upward under the elastic force of the strap 16, the patient's vision becomes blocked as the face mask covers a portion of the eyes 46. At best, this is inconvenient and uncomfortable requiring the patient 14 to readjust the face mask 40. At worst, if the patient 14 is unable to adjust the face mask 40, the eyes 46, the lower eyelids, or the facial area may become damaged or irritated.
As shown in FIG. 4, the prior art face mask 40 may also be worn in an alternate arrangement where the elastic strap 16 is secured around the back of the patient's neck 48. However, this arrangement is also unsatisfactory since head movement tends to cause the elastic strap 16 to slide into a position where slack develops, causing the face mask 40 to come loose from the patient's face 12. In this situation, the patient 14 may fail to receive proper gas delivery. This may result in adverse health consequences and costly medical complications.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-2 and 5-6, the face mask 10 according to the present invention facilitates the delivery of a gas to the patient 14 and maintains proper orientation on the patient's face 12. The face mask 10 includes a body portion 60 forming an open sided chamber 61 (FIG. 5) that permits the face mask to be placed over face 12 of the patient 14. The face mask 10 is formed from a unitary section of plastic or other elastic material, preferably from a single plastic sheet. As shown in the figures, the face mask 10 terminates in a peripheral edge 62 which circumscribes the entire perimeter of the face mask. The peripheral edge 62, like the material from which the entire face mask 10 is formed, is soft and pliable so as to conform to the contour of the patient's face 12. It is also sufficiently strong and stiff so as to retain its shape so that it forms a seal where it contacts the patient's face 12 (FIGS. 1-2). The body portion is configured to overlie the patient's face 12 and overlies a portion of the patient's nose 70, mouth 72, and chin 74 (FIGS. 1-2). The body portion 60 forms a seal with the face 12 of the patient to facilitate the delivery of gas to the patient with minimal loss, as will be described hereinafter.
The body portion 60 has an integrally formed nose portion 80 and a chin portion 82. The body portion 60 generally increases in width from the nose portion 80 toward the chin portion 82 providing a generally triangular shape. This "triangular" shape provides significant advantages relative to the generally oblong prior art masks, such as those shown in FIGS. 3-4. The nose portion 80 has a generally reduced dimension or width such that the contour of the nose portion conforms generally to the contour of the nose 70 of the patient 14. The reduced dimension or width of the nose portion 80 is clearly shown in FIG. 6 and is labeled as arrow 90. This is significantly different from known masks which simply provide a bulbous enclosure large enough to accommodate a typically sized nose, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter. Although not drawn to scale in FIGS. 1,2 and 6, the nose portion is of a reduced width to essentially "hug" the contour of the nose.
The nose portion 80 has an upper end terminating in an apex 92 extending toward a bridge 93 of the nose 70. The apex 92 is configured to contact the nose 70 at a point substantially below the bridge 93 of the nose so as to eliminate interference between the nose portion 80 and the eyes 46 of the patient 14. Prior art face masks 40, such as the face masks shown in FIGS. 3-4, are formed such that the apex 92 extends upward and contacts the bridge 93 of the nose. Also, in known configurations, the nose portion 80 diverges or spreads out or widens along the nose. As shown in the prior art face masks of FIGS. 3-4, it is clear that the nose portion 80 extends upward and contacts the bridge 93 of the nose while at the same time, diverges or spreads laterally to contact the face or cheeks. Such a configuration renders wearing eyeglasses or spectacles 30 (see FIGS. 1-2) difficult or impossible. Eyeglasses 30 typically rest either directly on the nose or have nose pads which extend from the bridge of the frame to rest on the nose. The nose portion 80 of known face masks 40 (FIGS. 3-4) precludes use of the eyeglasses 30 since the eyeglasses cannot properly rest on top of the nose portion 80 material which extends toward the eyes 46. For proper orientation of the eyeglasses 30, the material forming the face mask 10 must not extend toward the areas upon which the eyeglasses are seated.
Referring to FIGS. 1-2 and 5-6, because the apex 92 of the nose portion 80 contacts the nose 70 of the patient 14 at a point about half way between the bridge 93 of the nose and a tip 100 of the nose, and because the nose portion has a reduced width 90 (FIG. 6) along the nose 70, the patient 14 may easily wear eyeglasses 30 without interference from the nose portion 80. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the material forming the face mask 10, and in particular, the nose portion 80, is disposed away from the eyes 46 of the patient 14 permitting the spectacle frames 30 to be worn by the patient without contacting the nose portion.
The nose portion 80 has a lower end 102 terminating in a substantially flat horizontal shelf 104. The horizontal shelf 104 is disposed directly under the nostrils of the patient to permit the delivery of the gas, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter. The shelf 104 is integrally formed with the nose portion 80 and is inwardly directed toward the neck of the patient. The shelf 104 substantially parallel to a plane defined to pass through the eyes 46 of the patient 14 and the upper portion of the ears 28 of the patent. The shelf 104 includes a coupling 106 downwardly depending from the shelf which permits access to the interior portion of the nose portion 80. T he coupling 106 is configured to be releasably coupled to a gas supply tube (not shown) for supplying the gas to the patient 14.
The nose portion 80 also includes pair of apertures 108 formed through the material of the nose portion. The apertures 108 are positioned just under the nostrils of the nose and are arranged to admit a naso-gastiric tube or a nasal suction tube (not shown) into the interior portion of the nose portion for insertion into the nostril of the patient.
As described above, the elastic strap 16 is secured to the peripheral edge 18 of the body portion 60 and more particularly, to the peripheral edge associated with the nose portion 80. The strap 16 may be fastened to tabs 110 which are, in turn, attached to the peripheral edge 18 by means known in the art. The strap 16 is affixed along the upper end of the nose portion 80 proximal the apex 92. This is a significant feature since attachment to the nose portion toward the apex 92 causes the strap to assume an essentially "flat" or horizontal angle relative to the face. As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the strap 16 is positioned behind the ears 28 and extends forwardly along the face 12 of the patient 14 until it attaches to the face mask proximal the apex 92. Since the strap 16 is not disposed at an angle, there is no upward urging of the face mask 10. Accordingly, once the face mask 10 is positioned on the patient 14 and the strap 16 is secured about the patient's head, the face mask will not "creep" upward and will remain in place. In the operative position, the strap 16 is substantially parallel to a plane defined to pass through the eyes 46 of the patient 14 and the upper portion of the ears 28.
The face mask 10 includes the chin portion 82 which is formed proximal the lower end 102 of the nose portion 80. The chin portion 82 has a forward peripheral wall 120 depending from the horizontal shelf 104 of the nose portion 80 at substantially a right angle. However, the angle may be varied without affecting operation of the face mask 10. The peripheral wall 120 is configured to contact a forward portion or front portion of the chin 74. A skirt 122 is formed about the forward peripheral wall 120 and depends inwardly toward the neck of the patient 14. The chin portion 82 is configured to receive the chin 74 of the patient 14. Since the skirt 122 is inwardly directed relative to the chin 74 of the patient 14, the chin portion 82 sealingly contacts an under portion of the chin. Additionally, the forward peripheral wall 120 of the chin portion 82 has an increased width relative to a width of the nose portion, as shown by reference arrows 124 in FIGS. 1-2. The increased width 124 of the chin portion 82, in part, provides the face mask 10 with the generally triangular shape. Such an increased width 124 provides several advantages. First, patient comfort is increased since the patient may more easily move his or her jaw from side to side without restriction. Second, the skirt 122 is able to contact a larger portion of the patient's chin such that an improved seal is created.
Note that such a seal is not an airtight seal, as such seals would need to follow the contour of the face exactly. The seals described herein permit only a small proportion of the gas delivered to the patient to escape, while the great majority of the gas is delivered to the patient via the gas delivery tube (not shown). The curved shape of the skirt 122 generally follows the curved contour of the chin so that a sealing fit between the chin portion 82 and the chin 74 of the patient is achieved. Since the gas delivery tube is coupled to the horizontal shelf 104 of the nose portion 80, and because the horizontal shelf is proximal the nostrils of the patient 14, an air tight seal around the chin 74 is not required for proper delivery of the gas.
A specific embodiment of an improved gas delivery mask according to the present invention has been described for the purpose of illustrating the manner in which the invention may be made and used. It should be understood that implementation of other variations and modifications of the invention and its various aspects will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and that the invention is not limited by the specific embodiment described. It is therefore contemplated to cover by the present invention any and all modifications, variations, or equivalents that fall within the true spirit and scope of the basic underlying principles disclosed and claimed herein.

One of the most chilling and unforgettable events of the 20th century took place in a cellar in Ekaterinburg, Russia, in July of 1918. The czar, the czarina, Crown Prince Alexei and the four grand duchesses were executed by Bolshevik revolutionaries that warm summer night, their bodies consigned to an old mine shaft to destroy any lingering evidence. Then the rumors began: perhaps one of the grand duchesses had escaped. This was the story put forth by one Anna Anderson, a real-life character who claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. She could never quite explain her miraculous escape, claiming temporary amnesia, but she lived to the ripe old age of 82, never wavering from her claim to the Russian throne.
This month's Tip of the Ice Pick Award winner, Ariana Franklin's City of Shadows, poses an intriguing what if in this taut retelling of the Anastasia legend, set in pre-WWII Berlin. The details of Anna Anderson's rescue from a Berlin insane asylum dovetail quite nicely with Germany's flirtation with insanity in the heady 1930s. While the few remaining members of Russia's royal Romanovs would have preferred to discredit the would-be Anastasia, others in powerful positions, including Adolf Hitler himself, jockeyed for position in Anna's attentions, all the better to forge a favorable alliance in the event that the Russian Revolution should come to naught. And so, for a lifetime, Anna Anderson and Anastasia shared a history; even though later evidence tended to indicate that Anderson was in fact a Polish peasant girl with a checkered past, many still believe that Anastasia and Anderson were one and the same.
Franklin's atmospheric rendering of Berlin is exceptional, her characters sharply drawn yet sympathetic. The story unfolds in staccato bursts, punctuated by insightful glimpses into the Russian Revolution and the Nazification of Germany. | <urn:uuid:be9e235e-9e9b-417e-92fe-0e86f08ac66e> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://bookpage.com/column/mystery-of-the-month-38 | 2015-08-28T12:55:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644062782.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025422-00320-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959937 | 400 |

My daughter, Blythe, turns 16 today. IT is hard to believe that 16 years ago I was in the hosptial giving birth to the greatest blessing in my life.
We had a pirate themed family party for her last night which is why I am wearing an eye patch in the picture. Blythe made the eye patch for me a while ago with her 49ers duct tape.

Today is Valentine’s Day, a day for love. I do not have a significant other but I am surrounded by love and I am grateful for that. I hope next February I will be celebrating with my True Love but this year it is more about me.
I read a post on facebook about lving yourself, something I have I really opened up to in the past few years. This post said that it would be great if you wrote a Love Letter to yourself. One that says all the things you would love to hear from someone else, or one that simply goes over what you love about yourself.

It is no shocker that this past year has been quite a ride for me. I have had lots of ups and downs and have grown a lot and gone through a lot. Throughout the year there were many times that I thought I was just plain going crazy and that really bogged me down and messed with me.
It’s been over a month since my last retreat and it has been intense and emotional. I am still not sure where I am going, but I do believe that is the whole point. It is accepting that and surrendering to it all that I am working on right now.
IF you have seen the movie, The Matrix, then you will get this, if you haven’t then what are you waiting for, get it and see it.
At my retreat Giselle gave me a choice: have a shamanic retreat like I have always had or she could introduce me to The Truth. I, of course, chose The Truth, took the Red Pill and she proceeded to take me down the Rabbit Hole. In fact, a month later and I am still learning just how far the Rabbit Hole goes.
HA, this is so me lately!
Some days I fall to the happy side and other days I fall to the crazy side.
But either way it is enjoyable in its own way. | <urn:uuid:455d78c0-edca-4697-9bd9-72de40392765> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://iammywalk.com/index.php/tag/emotions/ | 2018-06-18T21:21:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861163.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618203134-20180618223134-00460.warc.gz | en | 0.980649 | 510 |
On October 11th, I went to Burnley-Moran Elementary School to speak with a large group of 3rd grade Bobcats! While I was there, we talked about many different types of weather instruments, including the anemometer, which told us it was a breezy day. Then we looked at a real weather map and talked about cold fronts and high pressure systems and how they affect our weather. Then we looked at a 7 day forecast and talked about weather trends for the next week. Finally we took a big group picture and we all had a great time! | <urn:uuid:66450c8d-8f54-4102-a0fc-30a75a90a6f1> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.newsplex.com/weather/schoolvisits/headlines/10500382.html?site=mobile | 2014-10-01T22:28:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663611.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00407-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991691 | 116 |
BUSINESS FEATURE: Eagle rises from the ashes of Canpar
Five years ago Greg Harasemow thought his life was secure in his long-term job at Canpar Industries planning for efficiencies in the production line. Today, Harasemow’s company Eagle Mountain Custom Metalworks Ltd. is growing with hopes of hiring staff as the company expands in the future. The custom metal work offered by Eagle Mountain is just that: custom. Harasemow works with customers to create their projects. Eagle Mountain creates light industrial metal work to metal art and everything in between. Operating in Grand Forks, but serving the globe, Eagle Mountain was recently recognized as ‘Small Business of the Year” from Community Futures Boundary.
After 23 years at Canpar, where Harasemow he started when he was 25-years-old in the early 1980’s, he never thought he would be hanging out his own shingle. Greg started at Canpar as a welder and worked his way up to Maintenance Planner /Project manager. Eagle Mountain opened in the spring of 2008 after Harasemow completed the Community Futures Boundary’s self employment program. Although the company is solely owned by Greg, his brother Len is heavily involved with the operation of the business.
“Now that I look at it, there was nothing anybody could have done in the economy,” said Harasemow about the demise of Canpar. “We were one of the first casualties of the whole economic crash. All of a sudden they said, guess what, we don’t have work for you anymore. We (Greg and his brother Len who also worked for the company) had options, it’s not like either one of didn’t have options. But the jobs were up north and I didn’t want to move.”
Greg and Len initially thought that perhaps they could expand on their music studio in town and make a go of that as a business. But as they got into the market research, they realized that the potential was extremely limited. Somebody they knew tweaked them to explore the market for their metal art that they created for fun – metal picture frames, wine racks, decorative lit metalwork, etc.
So Greg explored the art side of metal work as his potential new business. Harasemow said he felt very comfortable with the business model because of his background in the industry – he was connected with suppliers and had established great relationships with them. But he soon saw the flaws in the art industry. Often a piece of art can sit in a gallery for months before it sells, he explained. Without an ongoing consistent cash flow for his business, Greg realized that it could be very difficult to earn a living. So he decided to explore other possible metal work.
“My background at Canpar really set me up to do this,” explained Harasemow. “We walked over to Y & R Water and enquired about making sprinklers. So we got the sprinkler contract. Then, before you know it, we were starting to do little railing jobs because no one was doing them in town.”
Then Greg and Len started to translate their art into light industrial applications. “We don’t just do railings, we do artistic railings. We started adding multi-media stuff,” he continued.
As it got known that Eagle Mountain was doing some different applications, they were soon getting calls for construction contracting. Greg said they are unique in providing light commercial work, unlike the larger metal work companies in Grand Forks like Unifab Inc. and WD Sheet Metal Ltd. Their customers range from private home owners to construction companies with some international customers coming from website enquiries.
They have done work for the construction of the new Boundary Hospital wings, repairs on the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre, and new home building. They have expanded their lines to include: railings, fencing, powder-coated railings and glass railings.
“Little by little we’re increasing our product lines. Unfortunately, we’re getting away from the art a little bit,” laughed Harasemow. “I’d love to have more time to do the wine racks and art projects, but right now (to do that) you’ve got to travel which takes a lot of time. There’s a whole untapped potential of services we can fill.”
Harasemow loves the creativity of the business he’s developed. If people have ideas, he welcomes them to come to him and help design their needs. “Rarely does somebody come to us and say ‘can you do this,’ and we say ‘no that’s out of our scope.’ This is what custom metal work is all about: we work with the people. I love making things. What we’re geared towards is to ensure the customer has ownership in the design.”
Part of their increasing product line includes owning and operating a mini-storage facility on Donaldson where the shop is also located. Just over a year into the business, Harasemow is happy that the company is more established now, people are getting to know their work, and they are able to offer more and more services. His greatest lesson is learning to adapt to what customers want while maintaining his high standards for quality.
Harasemow said he couldn’t have come this far without the support of his family and friends. “It’s a long hard road, and hopefully the time we’re putting into it will pay off in the end,” he said. “We’re here to establish a business and have something going consistently in the Boundary area for many years.”
A portfolio of Eagle Mountain’s product lines and art is available in their office and online at www.EagleMountainCustomMetalWorks.com. Some of their work can be seen at Grand Forks Aquatic Center, the railings on the Black Train Bridge, wine racks at the local Liquor Store and at the Granby River Dental Clinic sign among many others. | <urn:uuid:e1722e70-3696-4a25-94e2-d8fcd5be9f2f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://boundarysentinel.com/2009/12/03/business-feature-eagle-rises-ashes-canpar-3999/ | 2024-03-05T14:27:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707948235171.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20240305124045-20240305154045-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.978734 | 1,293 |
