IDG News Service - James Gosling, the creator of the Java programming language, has resigned from Oracle, he announced in a blog entry on Friday
Gosling resigned on April 2 and has not yet taken a job elsewhere, he reported.
"As to why I left, it's difficult to answer: just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good," he wrote.
Gosling was the chief technology officer for Oracle's client software group and, before that, the chief technology officer of Sun's developer products group.
In 1991, heled a small group of engineers in a project, then called Oak, to build an object-oriented programming language that would run on a virtual machine, which would allow programs to run on multiple platforms, such as television set-top boxes. This work evolved into Java, which took off in conjunction with the growing use of the Internet, thanks in part to its inclusion into the Netscape browser.
Less than a month ago, Gosling had stressed the importance of Java to Oracle. "Oracle has certainly been incredibly committed to keeping Java and the whole ecosystem as strong and as healthy as can be," he said, during a talk at a Java symposium in Las Vegas.
But around the same time he also expressed dismay over the growing politicization of the Java Community Process.
Fellow ex-Sun alumni Bray tweeted that he was "astounded that Gosling held on so long." | <urn:uuid:5ed5db08-80be-4e17-b86f-74f4342fb950> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/041010-java-founder-james-gosling-leaves.html | 2014-03-10T16:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394010907746/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091507-00052-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979785 | 344 |
Gains tax may exclude foreign investors: Liu
By Camaron Kao,The China Post
April 6, 2012, 12:14 am TWN
Ministry of Finance (MOF) Minister Christina Liu (劉憶如) said that the consensus of yesterday's tax reform committee's meeting is that foreign institutional investors will be exempt from any capital gains tax in the stock market.
Meetings of the tax reform committee concerning the stock market will be over by next week, and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) will start to integrate different ideas from these meetings, stated Liu.
Liu did not state clearly how long the MOF needs to integrate these ideas, but she did voice her willingness to complete the process in less than one month.
"These meetings are basically for the MOF to hear different voices," stated Liu. "The MOF's proposal will be based on the consensus of these meetings," she said.
Some members of the tax reform committee have already voiced their inclination to collect taxes from corporate investors, or investors profiting more than NT$6 million (US$200,000) in the stock market, leaving smaller individual investors in the stock market untaxed.
Liu, however, still refuses to make any comment about the meetings to avoid any speculation.
She reiterated that the MOF will submit its draft of tax reform related to the stock market no later than the end of April.
Investors will be Invited to the Next Meeting
The MOF will invite investors from abroad and members of the tax reform committee to the next meeting, which is scheduled for next Monday, said Liu.
The meeting is expected to be very different from previous sessions, she said. Meetings conducted until yesterday were attended by scholars.
Famous individual investors in Taiwan like Lai Sian-jheng (賴憲政) and A-tu-bo (阿土柏) are among those who will attend, according to Liu.
Market Drops Due to Global Financial Turmoil: Liu
"Since the stock market in Taiwan was closed yesterday, it will need to respond to the global decline today," Liu stated.
When asked to comment about the decline of the Taiwan stock market yesterday, Liu stated that Asian markets were down in reaction to the fall of the U.S. stock market. The European stock markets were also down, said Liu. Thus, the huge decline yesterday is still understandable, she said. | <urn:uuid:2d955a46-106a-46ad-a222-b105f987e21d> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national-news/2012/04/06/336942/Gains-tax.htm | 2015-08-02T08:24:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989018.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00215-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971631 | 513 |
Audio & Video
Closed Captions and Transcripts
Our goal is to provide all users of our media with the best experience we can. With that in mind, we’ve established some best practices for audio and video use on Brandeis websites.
When are Captions and/or Transcripts Required?
Audio only files (sound, but no video) should have transcripts available, either on the same page as the audio file or through a link to a clean, simple HTML page. Visit our how-to guides for information on creating transcripts.
For example, if you upload an audio file of a student reading a poem, you should also have the text of the poem available for those who cannot hear the file and would like to read it. You can have the actual words on the page, like this:
Or you have the transcript on a separate page. Visit our how-to guides for help creating a separate transcript page.
Pre-Recorded video files should have captions, preferably closed (includes a button to turn captions on and off) as well as a descriptive transcript, either on the same page as the video or through a link to a clean, simple HTML page. Visit our how-to guides for information on creating transcripts and writing captions.
New Video/Video you own: MTS can work with you to set up closed captions for your video.
Videos from external sources (YouTube, etc.): you should not embed or link to videos that do not contain captions. If you are the creator of a YouTube video, you may add captions yourself. If the video does not belong to you and is not accessible, you should avoid linking to it directly from the Brandeis website.
Please note: some services, for example YouTube, offer autocaptions (the computer will write the captions for you). This is a good start, but they are neither dependable nor accurate much of the time. If you decide to use autocaptions, please review the captions the computer provided and edit them for accuracy and punctuation before releasing or linking to the video.
Live streaming video should have captions, preferably closed, (includes options to turn captions on and off). It is generally understood that transcripts are unavailable for live video, but when possible (streaming a speech or a reading/performance of pre-written material), transcripts should be provided.
MTS can help you set up streaming and live captioning service for live events. | <urn:uuid:43c29f9f-3ec4-4b57-8128-74c2c9609649> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.brandeis.edu/web-accessibility/best-practices/audio-video.html | 2017-11-21T21:14:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806426.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121204652-20171121224652-00771.warc.gz | en | 0.894554 | 513 |
Greetings! I currently teach Korean language and culture at the National University of Colombia (UNAL) in Bogota, Colombia. I arrived here last August, filled with excitement upon the realization of my long-held dream of teaching Korean studies in a Spanish-speaking country as a KF Visiting Professor. Bogota was chilly in August, like early winter, and I soon learned that I could feel the four seasons here, from spring to early winter, all in one day.
At the university, I teach Elective in Korean Language 1 and 2 and Introduction to Korean Culture, which are offered to students as general elective subjects. I was quite surprised to find my first class to be fully booked even before it started. When the class actually began, many students who hadn’t been able to enroll came to the classroom and waited for additional enrollment to open up. The school authorities established one more section of Elective in Korean Language 1 and increased the classroom quota to accommodate the maximum number of students possible. Sixty students attended the Introduction to Korean Culture class, 10 more than the original quota, and those students brought energy and passion to every class session. I taught more than 120 students in total during the semester, and in the first semester of this year, my class quota was expanded even further. At the moment, I’m having a great time teaching more than 140 students in an even better environment.
Students here learn Korean language and culture for various reasons. Most notable are those who want to go to Korea to study, either as exchange students or on their own. Most of these students have been motivated in their interest of Korea and the Korean language by Hallyu, the Korean Wave. My role is to encourage them to develop their interest into more than simple curiosity so that they can take up further study of Korea-related subjects.
In addition to my regular classes, I try to provide my students with as much access to Korea and Korean studies resources as possible. Last semester, I organized Korean culture programs and lectures by invited lecturers. The most popular event was a Korean calligraphy lesson held during our Hangeul Day celebrations. A great number of students from various departments came and had fun using brushes to write their Korean names on Hanji, Korean paper. In Colombia, both Korean studies and Asian studies are in their infancy. At the National University of Colombia, Chinese and Japanese language classes are available, but culture-related classes are still growing. There is no department specializing in Asian studies.
Under these circumstances, I feel very proud that the Korean culture classes are so popular and are enrolled in beyond capacity every semester. When our class quotas are filled far before the deadline, and when I see students participate in Korean cultural events with such enthusiasm, I see a great potential for Korean studies here. At present, I’m preparing for the opening of a Korean studies section within the university library, as well as for the opening of Sarangchae, the Korean studies research institute. I do my job happily and graciously each day, with high expectations that these efforts will help the students deepen their interest in and create greater ardor for Korean culture, eventually serving to promote Korean studies. | <urn:uuid:99d2e57c-d8be-4968-8cf3-4c0c23367d60> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://enewsletter.kf.or.kr/?menuno=6735 | 2021-02-25T02:43:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350706.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225012257-20210225042257-00336.warc.gz | en | 0.970675 | 651 |

Nine ways to find the unified field of existence—nine ways to discover God
Before we look at the 9 Doorways, a little about Doors and Ways. A door is a way into a room or into an open space. When we go through a door, we do not stop at the door. The door is not a place we stay at. It is simply a means towards something. It is a way to a new view.
So when I say ‘Doorways to God’, what I am sharing are devices to help us discover, see, and be, the Oneness we also call God. The devices are simple processes that awaken us to the Self as we truly are. It is said that there are as many doorways to God as there are people in this existence. Each person’s way is unique. You can choose the one that most suits your body-mind-spirit.
Let us see what will happen when you awaken to who you really are. You will be the whole, which is Love. All your thoughts, words and actions will arise from this space of understanding, and they will naturally and easily be in harmony with the flow of life. Sri Aurobindo has said: ‘All problems in life are problems of harmony.’ Everything can be solved if we harmonize. What does this mean? It means bringing things together so that they balance out, so they meld into oneness, to vibrate together, dissolving boundaries, to heal or become Whole.
The 9 Doorways are devices to bring healing, harmony, peace and love back into our lives. So check out these doorways. See which one you are comfortable with. But stay in the space where the doorway leads; do not get stuck at the door!
1: I am nothing
We are conditioned from birth to believe that we are somebody, or something. We think we are this body, we identify with our mind, our roles, cultures, religions, nationalities and a hundred other things, such as ‘I am shy’ or ‘I am disorganized’ or ‘I am an Indian’. The truth is, you are nothing…No-thing. You are pure emptiness. Silent. Peaceful. Unbounded. No-thingness.
This is the most powerful nothingness in the Universe. It is pure ‘Creative Intelligence’ to use a phrase popularized by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Whatever notion, image or idea you have of yourself, say of it: ‘I am not this’.
Finally, say: ‘I am nothing.’ When you and I are no one, then we are one.
2: I am everything
Expand the boundaries of who you are, to include everything. This body is in me. This chair I see is in me. The mountain over there is in me. The clouds and trees and birds are in me. Saturn and Jupiter and the sun are in me. The galaxies and stars and the entire universe are in me. In the infinite sweep of my Self, I hold all-I am an infinite ‘hold-all’ that holds the past, present, and future. I hold all that was, all that is, all that will be. In my infinite womb, I, Mother of all, hold everything. I Am All. I Am Everything.
3: I am love
My essence is Love, the mystery that holds the whole universe together. Through this essence, I am the stuff that underlies everything, connects everything, joining us all in one mysterious dance. I see that I am, that I am You, and we are one. I see the energy that gives life to the tree, and the birds as my own. I am connected and attached to everything that exists. I am a space of understanding and courageous action. I am the source of deep caring because I am connected. This connection is Love.
4: This is my doorway
Whatever is present here and now is my Door. Wherever my foot falls, is the way. This, here now, is my Door Way. The rustle of leaves outside my window, the distant cry of the nightingale, people talking below on the road, the tinkle of bangles, the sniffle of the nose, an opening door. All this is God. This paper, this pen moving on paper, the sound of the door chime, that splash of water-All this is God at play, God at work, God dancing here and now.
5: I am eternal
Everything that changes is not I. Everything that moves is not I. I am the screen on which these changing images are projected. I am the underlying Awareness that sees all change, movement, and transition in space and time. I am that which existed before this body-mind was born, and which will remain after this body-mind has returned to its elements. I will remain long after the water that makes up this body has returned to the biosphere, long after these thoughts and memories have re-merged with the No sphere. I am the eternal, unchanging Being that watches all changes, sees all and remains as I am-pure, eternal, unbounded and changeless.
6: Working totally
Working totally is working from a space of joy. It is doing things in the here and now for the sheer joy of it. It is working from an inner awareness that I am not the ‘doer’, but that the work is ‘happening’ through me. It means working with a total energetic presence in this moment. Working totally is working with an integration between what I love doing and what needs to be done in this moment. It is a sharing of my gifts in the service of others. As we share our gifts from this space of love, and connect with others in compassionate service, we become One. We lose a sense of the past and the future and are in a state of FLOW-Fullness and Loving Overflowing in Work. This flow is God at work!
7: Letting go
Let go and let God be. This is complete inward surrender to Life, while still acting with enthusiasm and energy in whatever life brings up to be done. It is born of a deep understanding that God’s ways are loving and evolutionary. Remember that all that happens will strengthen what has to be strengthened, and destroy what has to be destroyed. Letting go is remembering that all that happens is a part of a large interconnected web of events and processes designed to unfold Love and Understanding. Surrendering does not mean surrendering action. It means surrendering a sense of the ‘doer’. It is surrendering the limited ‘I’. It is realizing that everything depends upon where we choose to draw this arbitrary boundary called ‘I’, choosing to let go of the process of defining and to surrender to the mystery of Being.
Letting go is also a letting go of judgment, of comparisons with past memories and future dreams. It means just being with what is, and doing whatever needs to be done now. It is trusting Mother Nature. Trusting that all rivers will take me to the ocean. Joyously giving in to the flow and knowing that God is Love, and that love will never let itself down!
8: I am whole
There is nothing in this existence which is not I. Everything is contained in me. The totality of life is I. I am whole. Nothing is outside me. All is inside. In fact, there is no inside or outside, because all is One. And I am that One. There is no other. This dance called life, this marvelous unfolding called existence, is all I in its totality. I am beyond all opposites, beyond all judgment, beyond all duality, for I am whole. I am the day and the night, happiness and sadness, the calm and the storm, turbulence and peace, moral and immoral. I am all. In me is contained everything. I am full. I am abundant and infinitely resourceful-for all is contained in the whole, which is the Source.
9: I am
Just remember I AM. While eating, remember I AM, watching the body-mind eating. While reading, remember I AM, watching the body-mind reading this piece. No matter what you are doing, remember I AM, which cannot be seen, touched, felt, heard or imagined but which witnesses all this and remains the same always. When the mind is sad, remain the I AM, which is like the sky watching a cloud of sadness go by. When the body-mind is joyful, remember the I AM, which watches the bliss. Finally, remember the intrinsic freedom of I AM. It is vast, limitless and unconditional peace, ‘the peace that passeth understanding’.

A systematic investigation of the magnetic and transport properties of Ti doped La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3 was reported. The Ti substitution for Mn ions results in a reduction in ferromagnetism and conductivity. The metal-insulator transition temperature is close to Curie temperature which decreases from 274 to 82 K as x increases from 0 to 0.17. The most important effect of Ti doping is to introduce spin clusters in the samples due to the distortion of local lattice and the inhomogeneous magnetic structure induced primarily by the random distribution of Mn ions. A maximum magnetoresistance ratio as large as 90% in 1 T at 122 K was obtained for the sample with x=0.055, which is four times larger than that obtained for LCMO sample at 272 K. There is a remarkable field-history dependent MR in the cooling process for the doped samples while such phenomenon disappears in the warming run. The resistivity follows well the variable range hopping behavior in paramagnetic state. Both the size effect and spin dependent hopping of carriers between the spin clusters should be considered in this system.

Trine's Overlooked Film Festival begins with 'Mud'
ANGOLA, Ind. – Trine University's annual Overlooked Film Festival starts reeling in Fabiani Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m.
The Overlooked Film Festival, a film series co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Humanities Institute, aims to highlight quality films that might not have opened locally, or underperformed at the box office. Justin Young, who teaches journalism and media studies, directs the festival by choosing and introducing the films shown each week.
"This fall's lineup has family friendly fare in 'The Way Way Back,' gripping adult dramas in 'What Maisie Knew,' and one of the most gripping, startling documentaries you've ever seen in 'Stories We Tell,'" said Justin Young, director of Overlooked Film Festival.
Films will be shown, free to the public, in Fabiani Theatre every Thursday from Oct. 3 to Nov. 7 at 7pm. The first movie in the series is "Mud" on Oct. 3. Other movies and dates are "Stories We Tell," Oct. 10; "What Maisie Knew," Oct. 17; "Much Ado About Nothing," Oct. 24, "Grabbers," Oct. 31 and "The Way Way Back," Nov. 7. | <urn:uuid:fdf9a877-e9df-4491-8790-fa31c2eff441> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.trine.edu/news/2013-archive/092713Trine.film.fest.aspx | 2021-09-17T04:18:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780054023.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917024943-20210917054943-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.956603 | 288 |
Round Two Of Snowy Weather Hits Hard
Heavy, wet snow fell across the area early this morning.
Paula Gough with the Missouri Department of Transportation said there was a lot of snow all at once after 6 a.m. She said the biggest problem during this round of weather was the constant wind.
“It’s a real concern,” she said early this morning, adding there are places they plowed and then the snow immediately “drifted right back up.” MODOT issued a “no travel” advisory.
Mike Kindhart with the Illinois State Police said this morning interstate and state highways in Western Illinois were snow covered and visibility in some places was down to a tenth of a mile. He said north-south roads had drifted shut.
Hannibal City Manager Jeff LaGarce said snowplows started on the City’s streets a little after 4 a.m. He encouraged people to stay inside and be safe. Last week, he said, there were “bottle necks” in traffic due to people becoming stuck on snow-covered roads.
“Stay inside and let this pass,” he added.
Quincy Mayor John Spring declared a snow emergency in the City Monday night, meaning vehicles on the designated roads needed to be moved. And at least 710 Adams County residents were without power as of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, but nearly all was restored by 11 a.m.
The winter storm warning is in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Kindhart stressed the following weather travel tips:
- Watch out for black ice – roads that appear clear but actually are ice covered;
- Dress warm and take a cell phone in case of emergency;
- Slow down and increase your following distance, be cautious when approaching intersections, off ramps, and bridges;
- Always keep your gas tank two-thirds full to prevent the vehicle’s fuel line from freezing;
- Plan ahead, allow extra time to your destination, make sure others are aware of your travel route;
- Look ahead for and anticipate possible hazards;
- Understand the posted speed limit is too fast for driving conditions;
- Wear a seat belt;
- Always carry an emergency car care kit that contains jumper cables, flares or reflectors, windshield washer fluids, small ice scraper, traction material, blankets, non perishable food and a first aid kit. | <urn:uuid:f181e149-56bb-43da-bd6e-3c6445274226> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://y101radio.com/round-two-of-snowy-weather-hits-hard/ | 2013-06-19T01:40:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368707439012/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516123039-00098-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963232 | 506 |
Aside from the pleasurable sensation that ASMR offers there are a range of other benefits. Many intentional ASMR videos are essentially forms of guided meditations, meditating regularly has been shown to reduce stress levels and aid concentration among many other things. For a lot of people ASMR is a gateway to developing an ongoing meditative practice.
Any cursory Googling will bring up videos from the doyenne of ASMR, an Eastern European woman named Maria who goes by the handle GentleWhispering and who constantly sounds like she's on the verge of crying as she attempts to trigger the chills by blowing into a high-tech microphone or folding towels. Her most popular videos have reached over six million views.
These reports have precipitated comparison between ASMR and synesthesia – a condition characterised by the excitation of one sensory modality by stimuli that normally exclusively stimulates another, as when the hearing of a specific sound induces the visualization of a distinct color, a type of synesthesia called chromesthesia. Thereby, people with other types of synesthesia report for example 'seeing sounds' in the case of auditory-visual synesthesia, or 'tasting words' in the case of lexical-gustatory synesthesia.
A: I was just so enamored with the community because it was different than everything else on YouTube then. Everything was very look at me, loud, very grab your attention. I was like, I can’t watch this to relax. The fact that people were putting in the time and effort to make these videos for people to relax, I was like, “That is just so nice! So wholesome! I want to be a part of that community.”
When I feel that someone is helping me or taking the trouble to explain something to me, either face to face or even over a phone. Almost always was men but on occasion it has been women also & that always felt extra special! But it has never been sexual at all…..just felt that someone was making an extra effort to help me with something. After some intense sessions I have been able to ‘restart’ the sensation by slightly moving my head……but once it’s gone it’s gone!
"As ASMR has started to come to mainstream attention, researchers have finally begun trying to answer that question. Neuroscientists are now experimenting with fMRIs and electroencephalography to see if the brains of 'tingleheads,' as they are called, are any different than those who don’t tremble at the sight of napkin-folding. They’ve also surveyed tens of thousands of people who say they experience the phenomenon. So far there are intriguing—if limited—findings suggesting that ASMR may relieve some people’s symptoms of stress and insomnia, and that the brains of those who experience it may be organized a little differently."
According to Setz, this citation generally alludes to the effectiveness of the human voice and soft or whispered vocal sounds specifically as a trigger of ASMR for many of those who experience it, as demonstrated by the responsive comments posted to YouTube videos that depict someone speaking softly or whispering, typically directly to camera.
I keep randomly getting this weird sensation that feels warm and kind of tingly but I can’t tell because it happens randomly and last for a very short time but if I relax my body it comes to my face and spreads every we’re else and lasts a little longer for some reason its not strong enough to make me sleepy or relaxed for to long unfortunitly. I don’t know what this feeling is and most triggers might not work for me because I may not have asmr but I’ve never had this feeling at all before until recently.
Daniel and Prunkl keep a folder full of this man’s transgressions and have notified the local police. “Sometimes it scares me,” Daniel confesses, quieter now. “It does scare me that this guy could be anywhere.” Similarly, Makenna Kelly fears that kids at her bus stop will follow her home and leak her address online. “I just go down to the clubhouse and wait ten minutes just to make sure nobody knows where I live.”
I’ve always had this triggered by intense personal attention on either me or something I’ve done. In particular, having someone stare intently at something I’ve written or drawn on paper (or imagining/remembering that type of incident) triggers it very consistently. Intensely focused photography of myself or a body part (not sexual) also is very effective. I was recently watching a sporting event and noticing the camera tracking the athletes – just imagining how the athlete would feel with this non-stop camera attention was also a trigger. Dentists don’t really do it for me, but regular checkups with any sort of focused attention on any body part works. There’s something about the very concept of another person finding either me or my ideas/thoughts interesting enough to examine at length. A glance is just not enough. It’s kinda funny but this has triggered like a dozen times just while writing this comment out and thinking about these things!
While scientific evidence is pretty scarce, the number of devotees is overwhelming: ASMR online groups and forums are flooded with stories of people suffering from unbearable and incurable anxiety or insomnia until they came across Bob Ross' soothing voice on late-night TV or heard pages gently turning in a library.

If ASMR has made its way into commercials, what’s next? Richard said it is creeping into other media forms. In fact, there are two ASMR movies in production. “Imagine a full-length ASMR video produced by a large studio with a big budget with a goal to make it an amazing ASMR experience. That is a movie you are going to want to see over and over if you experience ASMR anyway.”
An article titled "An examination of the default mode network in individuals with autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR)" by Stephen D. Smith, Beverley Katherine Fredborg, and Jennifer Kornelsen, looked at the default mode network (DMN) in individuals with ASMR. The study, which used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), concluded that there were significant differences in the DMN of individuals who have ASMR as compared to a control group without ASMR.
There are some ASMR triggers which you will find reoccur regularly in ASMR videos. Everyone’s personal triggers will vary slightly, what works for other people won’t necessarily work for you. Running through the list of triggers below might help you find new ASMR triggers that you didn’t know about, or hadn’t thought of before. Or if you are not sure whether you experience ASMR yourself, have a look at the list and you should be able to tell by the end. Remember, these are just the most common, and won’t necessarily work for everyone, so don’t worry if they don’t all give you tingles.
Allen verified in a 2016 interview that she purposely selected these terms because they were more objective, comfortable, and clinical than alternative terms for the sensation. Allen explained she selected the word meridian to replace the word orgasm due to its meaning of point or period of greatest prosperity.[clarification needed] | <urn:uuid:c437a981-7c58-4059-9073-c744ebd462e0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://ygng.info/asmr/asmr-eating-bread-asmr-eating-alive-squid-httpsyoutubedsttemv2a5u.html | 2019-05-22T03:32:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256724.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522022933-20190522044933-00186.warc.gz | en | 0.960527 | 1,553 |

Connections of progressive Galileo gelding Sertorius believe they are a genuine shot at the Toorak Handicap 2013 in Melbourne this spring with co-trainer Bruce Elkington plotting his path to Group 1 glory.
Also prepared by Jamie Edwards alongside the Geelong-based Elkington, rising six-year-old Sertorius has won seven of their 19 starts to date but is yet to enjoy a black type victory.
They raced in their first stakes race last November at Ballarat having won five on the trot, including a benchmark 95 handicap over 2000m at Flemington on Emirates Stakes Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, before their seventh in the Listed Ballarat Cup (2200m) beaten four lengths by King Diamond.
Spelled for four months Sertorius resumed at Caulfield on March 30 and was a good second to Budriguez in the Group 3 Victoria Handicap (1400m), an effort that impressed their patient connections.
“He had a pretty tough spring last year, I think he had six runs, and we just felt that we didn’t want to leave him out in the paddock for six months,” Elkington said.
“We brought him back in with the intention of giving him that one run in the Victoria Handicap and then a nice little break which the horse has had, and now full steam ahead for the spring.
“The owner Mike Palmer is a terrific owner and he’s been very patient with his horse and he’s said to us all along that he’s in no hurry with this horse.
“We’ve always been of the opinion that he would get better the older he got and it’s certainly paying dividends now.”
Elkington and co are now looking at a much bigger prize naming the $400,000 Group 1 David Jones Rose Clinic Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield Racecourse on Caulfield Guineas Day, Saturday October 12, as the grand final goal for Sertorius this coming spring.
“The main aim at this stage is the Toorak Handicap with him, it looks a lovely race for him at 1600m, he’ll get in reasonably down in the weights and, as he’s shown, he’s a very good miler,” Elkington said.
Sertorius has a great record over 1600m to date with two wins, one at Caulfield by three lengths last October, from three attempts at the distance.
The horse returned to their Freshwater Creek stables two weeks back and has been impressing Elkington with their work and attitude since coming back.
“He has been back in work for about 10 days or so now and he’s come back in terrific order,” he said.
“He had a good break after his terrific run in the Victoria Handicap at Caulfield and we couldn’t be happier with the horse.”
Leading up to the Toorak Handicap Sertorius is being earmarked for the Group 3 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) first-up at Flemington on September 7 to give them another 1400m run ahead of stepping up to the mile.
“At this stage we’ve penciled in the Bobbie Lewis, the 1200 metre race at Flemington, as his possible first-up run and then he’ll probably get a 1400 metre run under his belt,” Elkington said.

Marc Laimon, the Bad Boy of Jiu-jitsu*
Marc Laimon is ripping it up. On November 6th, 2004, he defeated Ryron Gracie in a superfight at Grappler’s Quest in Las Vegas. His school, which had been open for less than a year, placed first in the same competition. As if that wasn’t enough, he is also the grappling coach on the UFC reality TV show.
This interview was conducted on November 13th, 2004
First of all, congratulations on your recent victory over Ryron Gracie.
Tell us a bit about your training history.
I started jiu jitsu in Torrance California, January 22nd, 1996. I then went on to train at Beverly Hills JJ Club. From their I moved and began teaching in Hawaii. After teaching in Hawaii I came to Las Vegas and opened up Cobra Kai. I am extremely proud of my team as I just heard that we won the Team title at Grapplers Quest which is the biggest tournament out on the westcoast. Not bad for a gym thats been open for under a year.
Could you take us through your match with Ryron Gracie, in your own words?
I agreed to the match and the rules for the match, in principle, about two months before we competed. However, on the day of the match right before we were to compete, Ryron and his camp tried to change the rules. As a result, we had to have an hour and a half discussion about the rules. We finally agreed to a slight modification of the rules. In the match, itself I took him down and beat him on points. I received my points from taking him down once and passing his guard twice. The only points he got came from a strange rule, pretty much unique to this match- a coin flip that came as a result of having stayed in guard for 3 minutes.
|Click here to see Marc’s explanation of how he took Ryron down|
What do you think of the rules of the match?
I had no problem with the rules.
You’d trained with Ryron before?
Yes, when he was about 14. But, he was just a kid then.
Some people have been saying that you looked pretty tired towards the end of your fight, and that you would have been in trouble in a match without time limits.
I was in good shape. By the end of the match I was tired, but so was he. If you’re not tired at the end of a match you could have worked harder. Hey, it would be ridiculous to point out that an Olympic Athlete competing in the 1500 meters was tired and probably wouldn’t win the marathon. If the athlete agreed and trained for the 1500, winning that event is what matters- not whether or not he was breathing hard at the end.
It’s the same thing in regards to the no time limit – had the rules been no time limit – I would have had a different strategy. We agreed to a fight that was going to be only 20 mins. I did what I had to do to get my hand raised. If it was a no time limit, I would have paced my self accordingly and still won.
|Click here to see Marc’s explanation of how he passed Ryron’s guard|
If you could do the match again, would you have done anything differently?
No, I wouldn’t change a thing.
At one point he had you in an ankle lock – was it close?
No. In preparation for this match I had my sparring partners, Joe Stevenson and Jason Miller, attack my feet on a daily basis: their stuff is tight – I’ll tap to their leglocks, but with Ryron’s leglock I didn’t feel like I was in a position to worry about tapping.
Before the fight no one really knew if Ryron was going to show up with the gi or without the gi. Were you relieved when he showed up without the gi?
It didnt matter what he showed up in – I was ready for both. I showed up to win.
How long did you train for this match?
Take us through a typical day of your training for this match.
Well I was involved in a reality TV show, running my school and training all at the same time. I’d be up at about 7 am, go to the show, do my conditioning with Couture, then teach my classes, get some training in, be back at the show from about 4 pm to 8 pm, then teach more classes and go home. It was really, really tough, and I’m glad it’s over.
What sort of conditioning were you were doing?
I was doing lots of rolling. I was rolling a lot with my students to help me prepare.
What about running?
Running really hurts my knees and ankles – I did it one day and my joints were just killing me so I said forget it. I’m not meant to run – I’m meant to ride in cars.
How has the pressure on you changed when you compete now that you’re a school owner?
There is a lot of pressure. I don’t think my students would leave me – I would feel like I failed them if I didn’t win, and then I put a lot of pressure on myself. I did a lot of visualization and reading about what the Russians do, and wasn’t nervous at all for this fight.
What do the Russians do?
They do a lot of visualization and are really into mental preparation. I was visualizing the techniques I was going to do and was remembering how it felt the last time that I competed. I went through all those emotions that I had. I visualized that stuff almost every night and would sleep really well – I didn’t get stressed.
Just before the fight I got a little bit nervous, a little bit emotional. The stands were full of people. I just focused on what I needed to do, got the win, and got out of there. The visualization really helped, because before I’d always puke and get the dry heaves before tournaments. I just felt sure of myself, and that visualization helped so much.
Some other people are saying that you were afraid to engage him on the ground and kept on standing up.
My guard is getting back up to my feet; that’s how I train my fighters and that’s how I practice. I don’t want to fight from an inferior position, and that’s what I feel the guard is. He didn’t hold me down or have any pressure on his passes, so I stood up.
Also people say that he came close with the submission: anyone can jump on a leg. I like submitting from a dominant position: I passed the guard twice but he recovered it, so I wasn’t in a dominant position for long enough. I could have fallen back with an ankle lock, but that’s Russian Roulette – either person could get the submission – so that’s not a good trade for me.
Is there anyone else you’d like to fight?
I’m not into calling people out.
Is there anything else you’d like to say about your match with Ryron?
I’d like to thank Ryron for taking this match. We both had a lot of pressure on us. I wish him continued success.

Can you talk about your involvement with the UFC reality show?
I can’t tell you anything about it other than that it’s going to air January 15th on Spike TV following Monday Night RAW. I really enjoyed myself, it was a blast, and I think that the show is going to be a success. They actually show real fights, so it’s pretty cool.
Why has your school in Las Vegas become a mecca for NHB fighters?
I’m not a typical jiu-jitsu guy, I don’t ever shut myself down to learning, and I understand what works in mixed martial arts. I teach guys to stand up out of the guard, not to lie there and take a beating. I’ve also got a lot of good guys at my school – it’s a very competitive training room and everyone feeds off of each other. There are no easy matches: when a fighter is getting ready for a match their ego is in shambles, because every guy they go against is so tough and skilled. Then they go and train or fight somewhere else and they feel a lot better.
Why haven’t you fought NHB?
I’m not a fighter. I think it’s the best sport in the world: I really like watching it and I think I know a bit about it. I like training guys, doing a few submission matches here and there. I know my place in the world and I’m happy where I’m at.
Do you do gi and no gi at your school?
Yes. Right now we do a little bit more no-gi, but we still do gi 4 times a week.
Why do you think no gi is so popular in North America?
No-gi is blowing up because it is more similar to fighting than training with a gi on.
Any guesses as to what the next evolution of NHB is going to be? We’ve had the BJJ phase, the wrestler phase, the kickboxer phase, what’s next?
Passing the guard. I hope people will learn to pass the guard and see how valuable it is to b in the mount. There’s nothing I hate more than seeing someone sitting in someone else’s guard pounding away: if you have a good guard it’s tough to nail them, and that makes for a boring fight and it’s bad for the fans. I’d like to see fighters trying to improve their positions.
Another evolution that I think is going to happen is that better athletes are going to get involved in the sport as the money gets better: Olympic caliber wrestlers and so on. I think that the next generation of fighters aren’t going to be as specialized: they’ll have the guard, they’ll know how to pass, they’ll have strikes, takedowns, everything. The next big thing is going to be lack of specialization.
So who are your three favorite MMA fighters?
1: BJ Penn, because I think he is the best pound for pound fighter. 2: Randy Couture, because of his work ethic and the way he carries himself. 3: Jeremy Horn, because he is underated.
How about favorite jiu-jitsu guys?
BJ Penn, Marcelo Garcia, Leo Viera, Robson Moura
So now that you’re not affiliated with a team anymore where do you get your technical information from?
Same place I got it when I was a blue belt: from video tapes, watching competitions, breaking it down, asking people questions. I watch tapes at home, I have friends who watch tapes and call me, telling me about a move I should check out. Then I’ll see if the move fits in my game: sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.
Even though I’m a black belt I don’t know everything and never will. It’s a constant learning process. Also, with the group of guys I have at my school, it is constant evolution: guys are constantly coming up with new techniques.
If you had the time to go and train somewhere to further your own skills where would you go?
I’d probably go train with Randy Couture – I think his Greco stuff is really good and translates well to fighting. I like that you don’t have to shoot and that it is low risk. If you try a takedown and it fails you’re not in a bad position, whereas if you use a freestyle wrestling shoot you could end up underneath a sprawl. There are also some German and Russian wrestlers I’d like to train with.
Any last comments?
I would like to thank Randy Couture, Rapheal Lovato and all my students at Cobra Kai who helped me prepare for this match. Thanks for the support. | <urn:uuid:0d1db6d6-5421-44bc-be10-d4b6cd320bb3> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.grapplearts.com/Blog/2012/05/marc-laimon-the-bad-boy-of-jiu-jitsu/ | 2014-03-11T09:28:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011163856/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091923-00025-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980859 | 2,641 |
I’ve Lost Power In My House — What Do I Do?
There’s nothing worse or scarier than when the power goes out at home, especially if you are by yourself and unfamiliar with what to do in that situation. In this article from In & Out Electrical we can try and help you if this situation should happen to you.
If you have lost power to your house, there are a few steps you can take to try to fix the problem yourself. However, it is important to note that if the power outage is widespread or if you are not comfortable dealing with electrical issues, it is best to contact a licensed electrician.
Power Out Check List
The first thing you should do is check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a circuit has been tripped or a fuse has blown. If you find that a circuit has been tripped, you can try to reset it by switching it off and then on again. If the circuit trips again, or if you are unable to locate the source of the problem, it is best to call an electrician.
If you find that a fuse has blown, you will need to replace it with a new one of the same size and type. If you are not sure what size or type of fuse to use, it is best to contact an electrician. In general, it is not safe to use a fuse with a higher rating than the one that was originally installed, as this can cause damage to your electrical system.
If you have checked the circuit breaker and fuse box and you are still unable to restore power to your home, it is possible that there is a problem with your electrical panel. In this case, it is essential to call an electrician, as tampering with the electrical panel can be dangerous.
In addition to calling an electrician, there are a few other things you can do to make your home more comfortable and safe during a power outage. If you have a gas stove, you can use it to cook food and heat your home. You can also use flashlights or battery-powered lamps to provide lighting, and if you have a fireplace, you can use it to keep warm.
It is also important to be prepared for future power outages. One way to do this is to invest in a backup generator. A generator can provide power to your home during a power outage, allowing you to continue using essential appliances and electronics. Many generators are portable and can be easily moved to different areas of your home, so you can keep your essential items powered during a power outage.
In conclusion, if you have lost power to your house, it is best to contact a licensed electrician. An electrician can help you diagnose the problem and restore power to your home safely and efficiently. In addition, investing in a backup generator can provide reassurance and peace of mind in the event of a future power outage. | <urn:uuid:2ce41327-49b8-41f7-a826-d55ffebb49e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.inoutelectrical.com/lost-power-in-my-house/ | 2023-10-01T23:07:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510941.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001205332-20231001235332-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.963788 | 590 |

One more weekend (and a Monday) and then back to the real world of work, school and after-school activies. Two more weeks (and a weekend) until uni goes back. Note to self: at some stage in the next twenty-four hours I actualy need to draw up a weekly schedule. Hopefully now I have written this down I will actually do it and not forget. Today we went ice-skating in the morning and watched the girls' Nonna finish the mural. Tonight I have some girl-friends coming round for movies and wine. Perfect end to the holidays really. | <urn:uuid:04b86e7a-fe0e-485c-8ba4-2d33aac1a692> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://100words.com/entry/132965 | 2019-02-18T01:57:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247484020.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218013525-20190218035525-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.955902 | 128 |
Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope has no new injury concerns ahead of the visit of Tranmere.
Trollope is likely to keep an unchanged team to the one that defeated Notts County 2-1 at the weekend.
Gary Sawyer returned against County after serving his suspension and will keep his place at left-back while versatile defender Byron Anthony will keep his spot in the Pirates backline.
Wayne Brown is pushing for a start in the midfield after coming on as a substitute against County at the weekend while John Akinde is likely to start despite suffering with a cold.
Will Hoskins suffered a knock in Saturday's second half but will be fit for the visit of struggling Tranmere and is likely to play in his more favoured position up front rather than on the wing.
Tranmere manager Les Parry is unlikely to have a trio of key players available.
Ian Thomas-Moore, Ian Goodison and Adam McGurk are all major doubts after suffering knocks in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Colchester.
Thomas-Moore and McGurk only returned to the squad at the weekend following injuries but now look to be sidelined again with thigh and knee problems respectively.
Goodison did play a full part in the United game despite struggling with a neck injury, however he looks set to miss the game against the Pirates after picking up an ankle knock.
The size of Tranmere's casualty list is now a major concern for Parry with Gunnar Neilsen, Marlon Broomes, Ash Taylor, Liam Darville and Alan Mahon all still on the treatment table.

Warning: Possible spoilers from last Sunday's episode. If you are not up to date then don't read this.
I know many people are excited about the last minutes of 'Spoils of War', finally witnessing the full power of a gamebreaker weapon as a dragon against a medieval army. And for all intents is cool. But for me, there was a second scene that made the episode:
Not only it was well choreographed, it showed two of the best fighters of Westeros merely sparring. But more than that it was Arya's face full of unbridled joy that made the scene for me. It goes back to the first season and her training at hands of Syrio Forel. For all the awful things the Starks kids have gone through, it was nice to see one smiling for a change -Jon rarely smiles, Sansa has learned not to, Bran is dead and the Three Eyed Raven (3ER) has taken his place- and I think it is fitting that Arya, the wild child of the bunch is the one doing it.
But the other reason this scene struck me as important is one tiny detail. It's not the fact that Arya can go toe to toe with Brienne and basically play with her. It is how she acquired such ability and what that does means for the Stark family.
My theory is that at the end of the day, the only great house -in which form, it remains to be seen- that will remain standing is the only house that long ago forsook any mundane power. House Stark, with their grim house words, was never about getting more powerful for the sake of power, unlike the Lannisters or even the Targaryen. The Stark aimed to obtain power but of a different nature. They wanted magical power because they are at the end of the day the first and last line of defense against the supernatural in Westeros. The Game is just a side activity to cover their tracks.
Previously I have shared my musings online about Game of Thrones in Altered Instinct's blog. Back then it was about the source of power in the greater story. Back then I pondered that for different reasons, the common trait of several key players on the story rested deep in their blood. It conflagrated nicely with the medieval idea that royal houses and more important royal blood had divine powers, an idea better reflected by the imagery used in legends such as the Fisher King and even the Holy Grail and JesusChrist'sfamily. And then I read this essay at Tower of the Hand, written by Steven Attewell that tangentially mentioned the fact that for the great houses of Westeros, the Stark had the strongest link to the magic of the world.
We know the Starks not only are descended of the First Men but somehow have Children of the Forest's blood running through their veins. It is what gives them their warg abilities, as seen with Bran. Their founder, Bran the Builder created the Wall and Storm's End, both structures enhanced with magical properties to deflect supernatural enemies. He also started the construction of Winterfell.
The interesting thing that the aforementioned essay brings forth is that the Stark continued adding magic to their bloodline. For starters, they reined on the Bolton's, their direct northern rivals that the canon books suggest were something akin to necromancers or used blood magic, hence the flayed people decorating their gardens. Odds are that some Bolton blood got into the Stark one at one point.
Then, during the Targaryen rule, they had a royal dragon rider staying there for a few days and it has been rumored that the crypts of Winterfell guard a few dragon eggs. Considering that Winterfell was built to have warm waters from a thermal underground source running inside the walls to keep a comfortable temperature during winter, it becomes out of the sudden a nice place to keep dragon eggs, just in case of an emergency.
This leads me to the following. While Bran -sorry, the 3ER- signals the return of the wargs abilities long dormant on the Stark bloodline, Arya and Jon represents the most recent acquisitions of magic powers.
In the case of Arya -and here I will deal now with mostly the show as you know the status of the books- the power of the Faceless Men is hers. Yes, her training might have been truncated, but I doubt that the Faceless Men would let her go so easily. There must be something else afoot. As Melissandre once told her, she has a destiny of many closed eyes in front of her. And she has put those powers to great use for her family, avenging her mother, brother and unborn niece/nephew. The ability to shape-change into another person -an ability I might add that was rumored the Bolton had as well at some point in the past- is the main power here. The mechanism of how that works haven't been explained, but certainly, needs a degree of magic in the blood to make it work. Her combat style as while has some preternatural movements, reactions faster than any seasoned fighter.
As for Jon, well by now we are sure who his parents are and he has Targaryen blood, which makes him a potential dragon rider. But I think it goes beyond that. For starters, I'm getting to the point where I doubt that Lyanna's father and elder brother weren't aware of Rhaegar's plans. I'm starting to think that they knew they were in love and Rhaegar wanted her as a wife. I think as well they knew of the prophecy of the 'Prince that was Promised' as it fits with the Imaginarium of the Northern myths and traditions. That the Mad King killed them and Robert started a rebellion was result of unforeseen actions (I blame the 3ER) and unexpected events. At the end of the day, what better weapon to fight the ancestral enemy of the Starks than a dragon? Jon was the first true attempt to bring the dragon blood into the Stark bloodline. If you add the fact that Jon has now tasted the power of R'hollr and has returned from the dead (another parallel to Christian motifs), we can see that Jon's blood has more power than he even knows. It's no wonder the Night King has targeted him as his main rival.
My nascent theory is that when all is done and the 'wheel is broken' leaving Westeros in a new shape, and providing people survive the Second Long Night, House Stark will remain standing, maybe in a different shape, as custodians of the underworld. The dragon might need three heads, but you know what else had three heads in mythology? Cerberus, the guardian dog of the Underworld. That, I believe, is the true endgame for House Stark. Because the world of Game of Thrones has two other continents full of eldritch abominations -the eastern shores of Essos, Sothoros- and the Iron Men pray to what basically sounds as Cthulhu. There are plenty of things that need to be beaten by the Wolves.
I dunno, at the end of the day these may just be random ramblings written while I should be working. But makes me wonder if that is the intention Martin had at the start or was something that developed organically. What is truth is that as for now, House Stark, the perennial underdogs of the story has now three powerhouses in term of superhuman power. And in a world where a dragon is such a game breaking weapon, the ability to warg into animals -including flocks of ravens and maybe a dragon-, shape-change into other people, moving as a ninja and have ice and fire in your blood plus coming back from death, all concentrated with three siblings make for a very interesting perspective of what might happen. If not, it would make good material for a story. | <urn:uuid:0e979adf-9e89-41db-b369-6c30338b5190> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://ricardovictoriau.com/2017/08/07/the-blood-of-the-wolves-some-musings-of-game-of-thrones/ | 2019-09-18T13:27:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573289.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918131429-20190918153429-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.977949 | 1,617 |

Highway 24 is reopening Sunday at 9 a.m. for residents of Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Park, Cascade, and Crystola; then at 1 p.m. the El Paso County Sheriff's office says the highway will be open to all traffic.
Until the highway is open to all motorists at 1 p.m. residents will have to provide law enforcement with proof or residency in the area (IDs, etc.) to be allowed through road blocks. Lt. Jeff Kramer says this is an attempt to let the people who live in those communities along the highway have a chance to settle back in before other drivers begin passing through.
Lt. Kramer points out that while there is still fire concern in the area and fire crews working, there will be reduced speed and possible lane closures along Highway 24 between Manitou Springs and Woodland Park. There will also be no stopping on the shoulder allowed.
Incident Commander for the Waldo Canyon Fire Rich Harvey added to the Highway 24 information by saying those drivers and residents in the area will still see smoke, but may not see fire crews. Harvey says there are crews there working the fire in the area, but may not be seen because of how far in they are stationed. While crews have established a good fire line along the highway, according the Harvey, he adds that there is a problem area near Cave of the Winds that they are working on.
Lt. Kramer asks that if people don't need to be in that area, that they stay away for now to cut down on congestion.
Highway 24 will remain open unless new threats arise.

Facebook announced yesterday that it expects to pay a fine up to $5 billion dollars over accusations that the company violated its 2011 consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission over consumer privacy on the social media platform. The company also said there can be no assurances as to the terms of resolution of the investigation.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently published an op-ed in the Washington Post naming a role for government and regulation around four specific policies that continue to be concerns for users of Facebook and broader digital platforms. In two areas (privacy and political advertising) Zuckerberg reiterates Facebook’s agreement with previous legislative proposals, including parts of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and (although not named) concepts from the Honest Ads Act introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar, Mark Warner, and the late John McCain. In addition to these two topics, Zuckerberg also moves towards responding to calls from the public interest community for stronger content moderation of hateful content and for meaningful data portability to promote competition in a market that trends towards dominant platforms. While some may view yet another Facebook op-ed cynically, I believe this one should be welcomed.
Last week, thanks to investigative reporting, we learned that Facebook discovered in January that it was storing millions of users’ passwords in plain text format, making them fully readable for thousands of its employees. Facebook has acknowledged that this was a serious security error and privacy breach on its side, as its systems, ideally, “are designed to mask passwords using techniques that make them unreadable”, and promised that it “will be notifying everyone whose passwords we have found were stored in this way.” There is no evidence that any of the thousand employees with access to these unencrypted passwords actually accessed them, but Facebook’s decision to remain mum reveals an important lesson for the overarching privacy and security policy debate. Importantly, data security incidents are a widespread problem that goes well beyond Facebook.
Last month, Facebook announced a draft charter for a future Oversight Board for Content Decisions. When implemented, the Oversight Board for Content Decisions, composed of independent experts, would be the last instance reviewer of important and disputed content moderation cases for the platform.
The promotion of diverse viewpoints has been the cornerstone of United States media policy over the last 100 years. In November 2018, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg published an article that delineated the algorithm that Facebook will use to disincentivize hate speech. Although Zuckerberg’s proposal is a laudable step for content moderation, it may be neglecting the value of exposing people to diverse views and competing sources of news. As we debate moderation issues, platforms should consider not only the prohibition of hate speech, but also the affirmative exposure to broader ideas and perspectives. The Federal Communications Commission’s implementation of the diversity principle on radio and TV, explored below, offers some valuable lessons here. | <urn:uuid:30a1e944-5b8d-48b8-900f-657def1bd53b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.publicknowledge.org/tag/Facebook | 2019-06-27T03:00:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000610.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20190627015143-20190627041143-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.94753 | 586 |
The British Nails Inc brand has released a new line of nail polishes, whose coating produces a special graffiti effect on the nails.
And so, you do no need any nail art!
The collection is called Graffiti. It includes 4 different shades:
- Camden Lock – a mixture of red, yellow, blue and green colors
- Brick Lane – black + silver + gray
- Hoxton Street – purple + orange + pink + gold
- Portobello Place – a mixture of dark blue and silver shades
Each nail polish costs 11 pounds (around $17).
Great news! You no longer need to draw graffiti. Especially if to take into account the fact that you know how to draw with only one hand, so eventually only one hand of yours will be with a perfect manicure. It is interesting if there will soon appear the nail polishes that will create other self-made textures, such as stripes, peas, marble, or watercolors. | <urn:uuid:a0eac208-e78c-4230-be47-1303afec0714> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://geniusbeauty.com/make-up/self-made-nail-art-graffiti-nails-inc/ | 2018-03-18T04:09:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645513.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318032649-20180318052649-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.884939 | 199 |
Adulthood After Pediatric Severe Brain Injury: Nancy Part Twenty Two
With many physical disabilities, a prosthesis can be designed which aids or replaces the functions done by the injured body part. While it has often been said that there is no prosthesis for the human brain, certain deficits of frontal lobe function are masked while a survivor is in school, particularly those that relate to initiation, structure and motivation. The undersides of the frontal lobes, adjacent to Nancy’s damaged olfactory bulb, are primarily the part of the brain that is responsible for initiating behaviors. While Nancy has come a tremendous way after her brain injury her adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury leaves a growing gap.
Neuropsychologist Nils Varney, Ph.D., who has pioneered much of the research in this area. calls this part of the brain the conductor of the symphony. As he explains, while the conductor of a symphony is only 1% of the orchestra, without the conductor, the symphony doesn’t make any music.
Teachers, the discipline and requirements of a scholastic program, combined with strong parenting, may minimize significant deficits in deciding what to do and when to do it. Yet, now that Nancy is 18, intellectually approaching the potential to live independently, those deficits become more central with adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury.
What recognition does Nancy have that she’s different than her friends or different than kids her age in her adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury?
She knows that they have boyfriends. She knows that they all drive a car. She knows that all have jobs and they’re making money and they have progressed with their life. That they have ideals to go to college. That they aspire to be something. Whereas it seemed like it was about four months ago before we actually pinned her down to what do you want to be when you grow up? It could have been a dolphin trainer one day. It could have been a veterinarian the next or it could have been, a secretary. It was all over the place. So IEPs were really difficult to pin down.
Grade school professions? The kind of things you dream about being when you’re in grade school not in adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury?
Yeah, yeah. Right. So the age level and the perception was different.
You said she has trouble making decisions and now you’re asking her to make a terribly important decision in her adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury. At least start to. What kind of a struggle is that for her to have to answer something as significant as to what do you do with the rest of your life when in some ways you’re, you’re thinking like a 12‑year‑old, a 13‑year‑old, not someone in their adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury?
Well I think that once again there’s that processing. She wants to be a dolphin trainer. Ok Nancy, do you understand how long it, it’s going to take you to be one? Do you know the studies that are involved? Let’s talk about that, and, this is what you’ll have to do, A, B, C and D to be this. And then she will say I don’t know. I think she’s realizing things have steps. To get to be the president of a company you have to go through this to be, to be that. And I, and that’s not something that she used to think about and now I think it’s happening.
Nancy also has some frontal lobe deficits in the area of disinhibition, as reported by her Dad.
What are the biggest problems you have dealing with your daughter?
I think it’s more of a issue with me of her being political, more politically correct out in public than she actually is. She’s blunt and to the point and calls a spade a spade and she says things that maybe not, might not be appropriate at the time. That bothers me.
There is a term in the brain injury circle called disinhibition. Have you heard that with respect to this kind of thing. Is that what you’re talking about?
Yes, sir. Well if we’re within adults in, in a group, we are camping, whether it be out for dinner or something like that and she brings up this situation, let’s say it about the Jonas Brothers. You know, out of the blue she just starts talking about something that we have no clue what’s going on but she brings up the topic and that bothers me. I mean nobody really wants to hear about it.
Does your wife deal with those problems better than you do?
Ah, no, I don’t think so.
What are you doing to try to continue to mature her in those ways for her adulthood after pediatric severe brain injury?
Well we – I’ve, I try to let her know that current events are more important than the Jones Brothers, you know, watch something more age appropriate, read more, the newspaper. You know, people like to talk about stuff that’s in the news and on the papers and stuff like that and then you can carry on a conversation with somebody that, you know, that has – an adult. She gets along better with adults than she does kids her own age. So we try to get her in that genre that they can have a conversation with her.
Have you tried podcasts with her?
Ah, it’s very difficult to have her do anything – on a computer or something like that?
No, that would be on an iPod where you actually can listen to news and current events. If she does better with auditory learning.
No, we’ve never tried podcasts.
We do the audio books.
Does she like those?
Yes, she does like the audio books.
One of my growing beliefs as I move forward with the TBI Voices project is that there are low cost technological tools available today, that might not have been there traditionally, that could significantly help long term recovery of frontal lobe function. With someone like Nancy who has a significant relative weakness in reading, yet a significant relative strength in auditory learning, the Ipod and podcasts could be a significant breakthrough tool. Ipods are available from Apple for as little as $149 and other MP3 players are likely considerably less. Of course, without monitoring the Ipod would become nothing more than a Jonas Brothers tribute.
Yet with supervision, structure and discipline, it could provide her a low cost supplement to what may too soon become the end of her structured learning, as she graduates from high school. Add the Podcast of http://onpoint.wbur.org/ and assure that she listens to at least each week’s “Week in the News” and she will quickly begin to have some awareness of current events. The challenge of course is to find some mentor or other human connection that can help her find relevancy to her day to day life to those things she will hear and remember. | <urn:uuid:03d61309-81bb-4f88-8149-d059eaa3489f> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://tbilaw.com/tbivoices/adulthood-after-pediatric-severe-brain-injury/ | 2016-09-27T15:29:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661123.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00257-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976396 | 1,481 |
The Field Ministers Reading Acceleration Center
Long ago we discovered that most men in prison have great difficulty reading. We have seen it in round-table discussions with inmate men; the ones who can’t read work carefully to mask this fact, because in prison one doesn’t want to get the reputation of being “stupid,” and a non-reader can be seen as that.
We professionally trained volunteer Field Ministers at Darrington to become Certified Literacy Instructors. Our team of Darrington Field Ministers Reading Instructors now regularly hold classes for men who struggle with comprehension, word recognition, pronunciation, and other indicators of reading difficulties. The results during our first year have been amazing and very rewarding.
If a person can’t read well, how can they be discipled through the Word of God? National studies reveal that nearly 70% of all people in prison are either semi-literate or are illiterate. We want to have Reading Acceleration Centers in every Field Ministers prison in Texas. | <urn:uuid:f52861fa-f4c4-41e3-970c-d93cdc91f6a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://heartoftexasfoundation.org/certified-literacy-instructors/ | 2020-09-25T19:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228707.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925182046-20200925212046-00083.warc.gz | en | 0.952772 | 209 |

Accepted a last minute invitation to attend a reception in the River Room in the House of Lords yesterday. It was a reception to celebrate 40 years of Kidney Wales Foundation. And a very nice do it was too. Had a good chat with fellow guest, Plaid MP, Adam Price who seems not to have taken offence at my post about misuse of the 'Communication Allowance'. That's one trouble with blogging. Post something critical, and up pops the subject next time I go out.
Anyway, I want to post about the Chairman's speech. Certainly not to be critical of Roy Thomas, a good man who so kindly invited me. In any case, he was simply reflecting the reality of today's politics, where Mid Wales has grown so far away from the consciousness of Welsh Government. Roy outlined his pleasure at increased renal dialysis provision in Cardiff - and spoke hopefully of more provision in Haverfordwest. If it hadn't been for the grandness of the place and celebration of the occasion, I would have shouted out "What about Mid Wales". We've been waiting for years for a 6 unit satellite renal dialysis in Welshpool. The location is decided. The feasibility study has been completed. The local hospital's League of Friends has raised a lot of money. I suspect that the problem is that the unit would be a satellite of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in England. The Offa's Dyke (or Berlin Wall) syndrome strikes again.
I know that I lost my position in the National Assembly last May, but I cannot leave this lie. It just isn't fair. The Assembly is supposed to serve all of Wales - including Mid Wales. I desperately need to have a discussion with the Chair of Kidney Foundation Wales. | <urn:uuid:3f7f8389-8f4b-41b3-9a28-caedf34b7533> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://glyn-davies.blogspot.com/2007/11/mid-wales-does-exist.html | 2018-06-23T06:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864943.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623054721-20180623074721-00581.warc.gz | en | 0.972792 | 356 |
Early morning start...but I expect nothing less from my Wayne;)
Woke up at 5:45am or 4:45 on this side of the border to get an early morning start. You didn't hear me complaining as I knew where we were going ;)
1st stop Cabalas
2nd stop Blicks.
I was looking for some type of embossing paste. My drywall compound worked, but I was looking to see how the real stuff works.
We didn't need to go into Mall of America as the girls aren't with us, plus Archivers isn't in the mall anymore....but we went in for a crepe and some cinnamon twists from Cinnabon ;)
I picked up 2 Raskog carts. One for Ashley and another one for me. It was crazy in there.
I want to apologize. If anyone was at the one by MOA and a tiny woman dressed mostly in black, cut you off in the isles I'm sorry. Crowds bring out the worst in me.
Stopped in Scrapbooks Too.
Was very happy to see a sign on their door stating that everything was 40% off!!
Halloween supplies 55% off!!
The sketchy stamps of Tim Holtz are not my favourite look. But I wanted to try his stamp/die sets.
There is an Archivers in Applevally, so ran into there. Had to text Wayne for more money, lol.
I was happy to find this small guillotine cutter. I was looking for one to trim my photos as my trimmer goes through blades fast when I cut photos.
Lastly Pine City Scrapbooking.
I had phoned there a couple of days before we left and she put some stencils away for me. They are so friendly there and really go that extra mile for their customers :)
This may seem like a silly one. But besides spending so much time with my honey...I am thankful for stores that have such easy access to their washrooms and that they are clean.
I have been drinking more water lately and I swear I pee twice as much as I drink, lol.
I have also shared before that I have ulcerative colitis, and if you are familiar with this, embarrassing and painful disease than you know the importance of a bathroom with easy access, lol.
I will leave you with that. And did you notice NO washi tape today:)
Yes there was paper, but only one ;)
I hope you all had a creative Saturday. I have been creating in my head so much today!! | <urn:uuid:39c8854a-1270-4e3b-b598-a661c83b4f0d> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://tracystreasures-tracy.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-love-to-shop-for-creative-supplies.html | 2018-03-18T15:47:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645824.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318145821-20180318165821-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.983654 | 538 |
Well, the thing about the peerless transaxle thing doesnt sit well with me... if you look right behind the dash it looks like the shift pattern is off...
Ya I noticed that the shifter looks a bit different from other G11xl-G14xl tractors.I have an idea of what is going on there.Do you have any pics of the gear selector area?
Here are a couple pics of a G12xl.And I blew up the shifter erea on yours.I think it has a shifter lockout plate on it I'm not 100% sure but it does follow the shift pattern for 4th and 2nd.
The only thing I don't like about the older Peerless 4 speed transaxles is,if the detent ball spring for 2nd gear goes flat then it will not stay in 2nd gear and if you mow in tight spaces you are going to have to mow in granny gear.
My MTD Fourteen Hundred and John Deere 112 both have the same transaxle.The 1400 won't stay in mowing gear but the green machine does.

MIND BLOWING COLLABS: Daniel Padilla & Moira Dela Torre – ‘Mabagal’ MV for Himig Handog 2019
September 4, 2019 Divine Sanchez
Daniel Padilla and Moira Dela Torre’s ‘Mabagal’ MV shows us that no one’s too old for “kiligs”! Have you seen the music video for Himig Handog 2019?
When you hear Daniel Padilla and Moira Dela Torre’s latest drop, ‘Mabagal’, you can’t help but fall in love with Daniel’s voice. While the soft-spoken Moira is like the angel telling us to do so. Before you know it, your foot begins to tap and your head stars to nod and sway. And what more can we say with that sax playing in the background—deep, soothing, and sexy! Uggghhh.
What about the MV though? It also gives off that same enigmatic feeling as the song itself. ‘Mabagal’ is set in the 1920s and Daniel and Moira are giving us that Peaky Blinders fashion sense! When you first see it, you’ll be immediately greeted by Daniel’s handsomely devilish grin and we’re like—guuurl. Is he the younger version of Frank Sinatra? DON’T DO US LIKE THAT DANIEL! How can his face be equally as good as his voice? While Moira blesses us with her completely stunning look and shows a different side to her! She sports a sexy purple lace dress matched with black lace gloves–very different from her usual innocent and pure looks. She completes her look with her luscious long wavy hair pinned to the side.
The ‘Mabagal’ MV also surprised us as it also features Kathryn Bernardo and Jason Marvin as extras. In case you didn’t know, Kathryn Bernardo is a widely acclaimed actress and Daniel Padilla’s on-and-off-screen partner! While Jason Marvin is a singer, songwriter, and Moira’s husband.
And a little fun fact for y’all, the original soundtrack of Kathryn’s recent film, ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye‘, is sung by Moira and Jason! Now, Moira collabs with Daniel with another long song that’ll surely give you “kiligs”.
What’s it about?
Not getting too deep about it, ‘Mabagal’ basically tells us the joy of slow dancing. The MV shows us a group of elders dancing off to the tune of ‘Mabagal’. At the end of the video, we see an old woman all alone where the elders were dancing. We suppose she was reminiscing the happy memories of slow dancing in her younger years. ‘Mabagal’ is one heck of song that takes us back in time!
Even Moira goes on saying, “The whole time you listen to the song, nakangiti ka lang. It’s a song that could help young people appreciate slow dancing again.”
If you haven’t seen the music video of ‘Malaya’, catch it here!
Our new national “kilig” song was composed by Dan Martel Simon Tañedo as an official entry to this year’s Himig Handog songwriting competition. And we will know if ‘Mabagal” won this year’s competition on October 13. So stay tuned!

Preserving Language & Culture
by Lourdes Diaz Soto, PhD
At a recent workshop, I asked all of the early childhood educators in the audience whose grandmothers spoke a language other than English to raise their hands. A large majority did. Then I asked those people if their parents spoke the grandparents' language. Considerably fewer-although still a large number-did. Finally, I asked all those who now speak their grandmother's language to raise their hands. Only a few hands went up.
Teachers whose early childhood memories include hearing more than one language spoken at family gatherings have expressed sadness that neither they nor their children are able to speak the language of their grandparents. They say they miss the sights, sounds, and tastes of family traditions. There is strong evidence that maintaining family culture has a strong effect on children's social and emotional development. In addition, children with a strong base in the language and culture of their families receive the "intergenerational wisdom" that loving families pass down to them through song, story, music, art, drama, dance, and so on.
The wisdom passed down from generation to generation has a central place in many cultures where the extended family has traditionally played a major role in child-rearing. In my own family-as in many Latino families-my grandmother was the primary figure in my life. She was my reference point-the person I was most eager to make proud. Speaking my native language with her made me feel especially close to my heritage.
When language, along with cultural wisdom and pride, are no longer passed down to the next generation, children-and our society as a whole-lose something. The richly diverse cultural and familial traditions of our own country, and the intergenerational wisdom that is imbedded in them, are all being lost. Yet these could serve us well in our struggle with some of the complex social issues that face us. When language and culture are preserved, and children learn pride in who they are and respect for one another, the collaborative wisdom of our nation's diverse cultures will help us solve problems together for generations to come.
As teachers of our youngest children, there are two basic areas we need to explore in order to help preserve the traditions of all the children in our care. First, we need to examine our own personal attitudes about languages and cultures, since these attitudes will be mirrored in our classrooms. Second, we need to examine our classroom practices to make sure they support the best interests of children from either linguistically diverse or monolingual families.
To evaluate your program's relationship to diversity and language, ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I respectful and accepting of children's culturally and linguistically diverse families?
- Do my literature and classroom environment reflect the languages and cultures of the children?
- Does my program integrate the wisdom and knowledge of these diverse groups, particularly their art, music, games, and stories, as well as their traditions of relating to the natural world?
- Do I invite guests to the classroom or take trips that are culturally and linguistically relevant to the children?
- Do I provide lots of experiential and hands-on learning activities?
- Do I give children lots of language opportunities that include social and informal interactions?
- Do I encourage families to maintain their native languages and cultures?
- Do I give second-language learners the gift of time?
- Do I provide lots of opportunities for children to interact with families and individuals who are like themselves?

Let's Ask Marion Nestle: Could The USDA Get Any Cheesier?
Submitted by KAT on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 3:42pm.
(With a click of her mouse, EatingLiberally’s Kerry Trueman, aka kat, corners Dr. Marion Nestle, NYU professor of nutrition and author of Feed Your Pet Right, Pet Food Politics, What to Eat, Food Politics, and Safe Food):
KT: Sunday's New York Times has a disturbing exposé by Michael Moss about the USDA's efforts to aid the dairy industry by encouraging excessive cheese consumption. Can the USDA ever reconcile its two mandates? On the one hand, the USDA has the task of tackling the obesity epidemic by encouraging healthier eating habits. Yet it must also promote the interests of U.S. agriculture. As Moss documents so well, these two missions are in total conflict.
Dr. Nestle: And so they are, have been, and will be until public outrage causes some changes in Washington. In two of my books, Food Politics and What to Eat, I wrote about how dairy lobbying groups, aided and abetted by the USDA, convinced nutritionists that dairy foods were equivalent to essential nutrients and the only reliable source of dietary calcium, when they are really just another food group and one high in saturated fat, at that.
The USDA is still at it. As Michael Moss notes:
So let's talk about "moderation," a word that I find hard to use without irony. The pizza illustrated in Michael Moss's article is described as a "thin-crust medium pie." The diameter is not given, but one-fourth of the pie contains 430 calories, 12 grams of saturated fat (20 is the daily recommended upper limit), and 990 mg sodium (the upper limit is 2,300).
Who eats one-quarter of a pizza? Not anyone I know. So double all this if you share it with a friend. If you eat the whole thing--and why do I think that plenty of Domino Pizza customers do?--you are consuming more than 1700 calories, nearly 4,000 mg sodium (that's 10 grams of salt, by the way), and 48 grams of saturated fat. This is enough to make any nutritionist run screaming from the room.
So why is USDA in bed with dairy lobbying groups? That's its job. From its beginnings in the 1860s, USDA's role was to promote U.S. agricultural production and sales, with the full support of what was then a largely agricultural Congress. Only in the 1970s, did USDA pick up all those pesky food assistance programs and capture the "lead federal agency" role in providing dietary advice to the public.
Much of Food Politics is devoted to describing the USDA's severe conflict of interest in developing dietary advice to "eat less" of basic agricultural commodities. As Times reporter Marian Burros put it in one of her articles about the fights over the 1992 Pyramid, which visually suggested eating less meat and dairy, "the foxes are
This is what Mrs. Obama is up against in her efforts to reduce childhood obesity and bring healthier foods into America's inner cities.
How to change this system? One possibility might be to move dietary guidance into a more independent federal agency, NIH or CDC for example. Another might be to recognize the ways in which corporate lobbyists corrupt our food system and do something about election campaign laws.
A pipe dream? Maybe, but I never thought I'd live to see the editors of the New York Times consider an article about USDA checkoff programs to be front-page news, and in the right-hand column yet, marking it as the most important news story of the day.

“I strongly believe that TV Shows shouldn’t have a twitter account they can create a hash-tag & communicate with the audience through the Channel’s account” – Heba AlSamt
Today, the impact of social media on media has been to such an extent that even television channels are making their presence. Television channels are using the power of social media to increase the popularity of the shows which is awesome knowing that nowadays people are found multitasking on digital devices while in front of a television and sharing with their friends and live tweeting.
So Why a “hashtag” and not an “account”?
VOD (Video On Demand) is taking over the world … yes I believe in that.
Video on demand continues to expand around the world every day, which means that TV content will find a wider audience globally. Nowadays, video is in demand, as never before. The days when if you missed an episode of a TV series you had to borrow a tape from a friend or wait for a repeat of the show is gone. Today we as audience are used to watching what we like, when we like, and we do not have to miss a thing. The audience is in control and this should be considered by all of the broadcasters and TV channels.

Be patient as the rush to download the update usually slows the update process to a crawl.
For what I’ve seen so far iOS 6 has given the user more features to make the things we do every day even better. For anyone who has received a late night text message disturbing their sleep, or accidentally received a dumb phone call in the middle of a meeting, the new Do Not Disturb feature is a lifesaver.

I was stunned the other day when Václav Havel died just three days after Christopher Hitchens.
Havel had a huge influence on me in my 20s, when I was still a college students, studying journalism and politics. I became more aware of him in about 1992, studying in a Political Journalism program at Georgetown. There I became friends with a Polish journalist, who eventually sent me a signed photo of Havel. I read Havel's writings at the time, and, yes, he too, was another huge influence on me at the time, as I was beginning my journey away from the religious fundamentalism of my upbringing. That the ancestors on my mother's side came from Bohemia - which is now part of the Chzech Republic - also deepened my interest in Havel's homeland. I eventually went to study Czech Culture for a month at Charles University in Prague and I left Prague seriously considering whether I might want to move there myself.
A brilliant, kind, creative man. A playwright, poet and essayist. A faithful and effective letter writer. A political dissident and human rights advocate. He earned the respect of his countrymen and proved too good to be a very effective President. In other words, he hung onto his soul.
To contrast him with Hitchens (if we have to), Havel seemed to be all the brilliance without the bitterness than spoiled Hitchens for so many. Something else that he had in common with Hitch, though, aside from the obvious love for literature and writing? He loved a good drink. Which reminds me of the one time I interacted, if briefly, with Havel.
In December 2006, shortly after I moved to New York, Havel was here to accept an award he'd won years earlier, but couldn't accept because he was in jail. The band Uncle Moon with Michelle Shocked was playing Velvet Underground's entire "Banana" album at Joe's Pub in the East Village in tribute to Havel, and it was rumored that the great man himself might be there. I lived walking distance away, but didn't have tickets. Nonetheless, I walked up there from 3rd Street, only for the doorman to tell me the event had sold out. Then, he told me since the event was probably mostly over, I could go in anyway and stand at the bar. I did that and noticed Havel sitting at the table immediately in front of me. I shamelessly took a photo at the time, one which didn't turn out terribly well, though I remember his profile was discernible. The show did end before much longer and as Havel filed past me, he stumbled, righted himself, and I offered a steadying hand to his shoulder as he filed by in close quarters. I never heard him speak in person, never got to speak with him (I did speak briefly with Hitch). No, the moment was entirely human, entirely anonymous. It could've happened the same way if I hadn't even known who he was.
My fiancee and I are traveling to Prague for Christmas this year and staying both in and near Old Town Square, so I imagine we'll see a few tributes to Havel. For me, it'll be a moment of coming full circle with someone, one of those few people, who rose not only to become great, but remained greatly authentic.
Na zdraví, Václav!

Christopher Hitchens has died. Already. No one can say he didn't rage against the dying of the light. But what a loss.
He was certainly one of the handful of writers who left a permanent impact upon my life. An extraordinary mind, a scathing wit, with a voluminous vocabulary. Compelling even when I believed him wrong. A fine exemplar of the pen as mightier than the sword.
His writing came at a point in my life, in my early twenties, when because of the environment I found myself within, I felt that my burgeoning thoughts about the world around me were in a distinct minority. When I knew no one who I could share my doubts with. He was an illuminating discovery for me then, along with a few other great minds, living and deceased, who helped me learn there was another way to look at the world, one which still roiled with majesty and meaning. Who shone a light into my life, and helped me to walk away from the darkness with the confidence that I was not alone.
Christopher Hitchens - 1949 - 2011.

Jennifer Egan on the transactions we make in order to participate in social media:
He never could quite forget that every byte of information he’d posted online (favorite color, vegetable, sexual position) was stored in the databases of multinationals who swore they would never, ever use it—that he was owned, in other words, having sold himself unthinkingly at the very point in his life when he’d felt most subversive

I'm thinking about dissent today and came across these thoughts from human rights activist Natan Sharansky, which ring especially true to me.
Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society.Here's an interview PBS Newshour did with Sharansky about his book, The Case for Democracy.
Fear societies are societies in which dissent is banned.
People may believe that there can be a society where dissent is not permitted, but which is nonetheless not a fear society because everyone agrees with one another and therefore no one wants to dissent.
If a person cannot walk into the middle of the town square and express his or her views without fear of arrest, imprisonment, or physical harm, then that person is living in a fear society, not a free society. We cannot rest until every person living in a "fear society" has finally won their freedom.

If the neologism "improg" doesn't scare you off, continue reading. Improg is the marriage of improvisation and progressive rock. Before you start tripping balls about "them dang hippies getting high and taking you space truckin'," this group's sonic vision is more akin to King Crimson and the electronical sounds of Daft Punk than to Phish or the Dead. However, Umphrey's McGee grooves as well as any hippie-dippy jam band and isn't afraid to coerce listeners into some light twirling with extended rhythmic passages before bursting forth with hot-lick guitar solos supercharged by a couple of Tubescreamer distortion pedals, à la Trey Anastasio. Often the jams return to earth via metal-esque sections filled with chunky, strutting guitars and sweep-picking shenanigans that would have any Guitar Institute of Technology graduate perking up her ears.
Like any good jam band, Umphrey's McGee frequently winks and nudges at classic tracks as varied as the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood," Ozzy's "Crazy Train" and Rimsky-Korsakov's musical masturbation showpiece "Flight of the Bumblebee." These winks can come off as either smug or impressive, depending on how high you are on bath salts. Regardless, they are a testament to the musicians' virtuosity and remind us that Girl Talk hasn't replaced the real thing yet.

It is good to re-learn some basics. An advanced programming friend was so impressed by the 1st chapter of a book he went on and on about it. He is boning up on his python and I took a pic of the url. It is Learn Python the Hard Way book. The link isn’t working – not sure why – let me know if it is not working if you click on it.
So – again Learning AngularJS is an AWESOME BOOK (Kindle version has clickable links). This was my 2nd book – as I read another AngularJS book that was SUPER LONG and then I had downloaded another (to one to the right) which was quite cheap – and left it. Apparently this “cheap book” was the ticket to SUPER SUCCESS. Thanks for writing the book in his “here do this” and “this is why we did that” style. And his backup websites and fiddler examples – SOOO COOL to learn that way.
BUT – it worked when you went to “play” it in Visual Studio 2013, but when I went to publish it, as usual the wheels fell off the bus. Here is the last chapter of that book “Publishing this whole mess onto a real website”. Can all of the readers comment this so we can all make it better? I will contact the author and ask if he can plagiarize all this material (and I hope all your comments) this into his book as a new chapter. Maybe he will re-write it for Angular 2.0!? Continue reading
So I had no intention to use Angular anywhere else at this time, but 2 new web app requests tipped my hand into “lets do this and do it Angular .net” since the underlying tech is in fact a windows program. Therefore, I went back to the book store and am reading Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers. Every sentance is important in this book so this is not a skimmer but he gets right to development, re-development etc. etc. until he has what I consider now to be the starting point of all my projects. i will use this model as my Angular Seed (a starting point for Angular Apps). I think I will need the tips below EVERY TIME I develop an app so I will write my steps down for you. I developed all the items I had with VS 2013 Express and am to the point where I think I will be buying VS 2013 Pro as the tools a few books suggest all require pro or above. It is $500CDN.
After much consultation with other web designers and investigating what technologies to use – I have come up with a final list. I will explain why I chose what I did as I go along.
First, the project is a data aggregation tool used to marry 2 worlds of how much time we have taken versus a budget of how much time is expected to be spent. It is much more complicated than my simple explanation (it is for an engineering company) but that is the gist of it. People will be logging in on a regular basis to update key numbers and over time, Continue reading | <urn:uuid:92a87d7a-741b-4628-969f-42b222834d91> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://elbsolutions.com/projects/2015/02/ | 2017-02-24T01:49:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171271.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00505-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976791 | 651 |
I’m home, unpacked, and just about recovered from an enjoyable four day event held by Living Crafts at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
Situated in the Vanburgh Pavilion, my stand had it’s usual ‘busy’ look going on, with a wide range of different handmade ceramic pieces on display.
Because each piece of my work is a unique one-off, I find it difficult deciding which pieces to display, so often cram as much as I can on the table!
It was so handy having my new card machine to give customers the option of paying on card… which seems to encourage them to spend more! 🙂
The quality of handmade crafts by other exhibitors at the event was outstanding.
I really enjoyed my wander around the pavilions when the show had quietened down at the end of the first day. It was a good job I didn’t take my purse with me!
It was so lovely hearing nice comments from customers, it’s those people that make the whole experience worthwhile.
Thank you to everyone who purchased from me at the show!
While exhibiting at the show I treated myself and stayed in a beautiful little countryside escape just down the road, where glasses of wine were enjoyed each night!
I will be returning to Living Crafts for Christmas next year, but would like to have a bit of extra space to demonstrate making my work, so I’ll be needing a shop keeper to serve customers at my stand while I’m making! | <urn:uuid:445e2e58-589c-4f26-8549-07591d4d3bc5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.charlottehupfieldceramics.com/2015/11/25/living-crafts-at-blenheim-palace-2015/ | 2017-11-22T22:35:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806676.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122213945-20171122233945-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.978608 | 317 |
Inverse finite element modeling of shells using the degenerate solid approach

The Inverse Finite Element Method (IFEM) for degenerate solid shells is introduced. IFEM allows determining the undeformed shape of a body (in this case, a shell-like body) such that it attains a desired shape after large elastic deformations. The model is based on the degenerate solid approach, which enables the use of the standard constitutive laws of Solid Mechanics. First, IFEM is applied to three popular benchmarks for validation purposes. Then, the capabilities of IFEM for inverse design are demonstrated by means of its application to the design of a microvalve.

Get ready Bring Me The Horizon fans, there’s a lot to unpack here. First and foremost, two months after premiering their energetic track “Mantra,” Oli Sykes and company are back with a brand new single titled “Wonderful Life.”
Now as if a new Bring Me The Horizon track wasn’t newsworthy enough, the band’s new single has some additional excitement as it features none other than Dani Filth from the UK extreme metal outfit Cradle Of Filth – but wait, that’s not all.
In addition to the surprise guest, Bring Me The Horizon’s new single also has an interesting backstory as apparently, according to Sykes, it was originally written to be a Limp Bizkit song.
No seriously, here’s Sykes explaining it for himself: “Last year, me and Jordan [Fish] went and worked with Fred Durst on a Limp Bizkit album. It just didn’t work out to be honest. He just didn’t show up most of the time. Lovely guy, but I don’t think he was ready to make an album. I think he was pushed into it a bit, like, his managers and people said ‘these are the guys you want to work with.’ So we gave him all these ideas and I mean it was just bad from day one to be honest…It’s one of them things, looking back, where it wasn’t meant to be. One good thing came out of it: me and Jordan wrote this riff and I one day decided the tempo and key matched almost perfectly with the song. So we de-Bizkit‘d it a bit, and it ended up sounding pretty sick.”
Alright, so you got all that? Bring Me The Horizon’s new track featuring Dani Filth was originally written to be on a new Limp Bizkit album. These are all things we never thought we’d say in the same sentence, ever. Regardless, to check out Bring Me’s new single taken from their forthcoming album Amo (due out January 11th), be sure to see below.

You can get Gmail to schedule your email to be sent later using ActiveInbox.
If you send emails outside working hours, while you’re on holiday, or during the weekend, scheduling an email to get sent automatically at a certain day and time can be really helpful. You can also buy yourself some time before a person replies back and make sure people don’t think you’re available 24/7.
Just click our new ‘Send Later‘ button instead of the Send button anywhere in Gmail. Choose the date and time slot (ActiveInbox let’s you choose a time at 15 minute intervals). And that’s it! Your message will sit in Gmail’s drafts until it is ready to be sent out and then we’ll send it for you, whether you are logged in or not.
What other options for getting Send Later in Gmail are there out there?
Boomerang do the same thing – but you can only send 10 emails per month for free. You then have to pay $5 p/m.
ActiveInbox is the same price but gives you unlimited emails to send later as well as a fully integrated task manager inside Gmail with many time-saving features like notes and checklists in your emails, status buttons to categorize emails easily, and even email sorting and pipelines.
Find out more here, or start scheduling unlimited emails to send later with our 2 week free trial now.

Santa Claus came to town Dec. 8, liked what he saw, and left with a lengthy list of Christmas wishes and dreams from the good kids of Stacy. Santa appeared in Stacy on behalf of Family Pathways Youth Services to give a boost to the organization’s fundraising this holiday season.
The event featured a pancake breakfast at Rick Doyle Memorial Field, a bake sale and Santa Claus forgiving the naughty and congratulating the nice. Kids on either list had their picture taken with the Jolly Old Elf.
Family Pathways Youth Services Coordinator Don Lenhart told the Post Review this is the fifth year for this joint Stacy-North Pole effort, which has been supported by the generosity of the Stacy Lions Club. The Lions donated the building and the food for the event as well as the kitchen help.
“The Lions do a great job hosting this for us. They are very generous,” Lenhart said.
Lenhart also thanked the Teen Center’s volunteers. A couple of the young people had shown up at 7:30 a.m. on their day off of school to assist with the set-up and serving the food. Lenhart, parents of the kids and Santa were rightfully proud, promising a merry Christmas to all.

I am a firm believer in the idea of making delicious coffee with simple tools. I don’t have room in my kitchen, space in moving vehicles, or money in my bank account for a massive espresso machine, or frother, or even a coffee maker.
So in keeping with my “on a budget” theme, here is my homemade vanilla latte recipe!
What you’ll need for one serving––
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2-3 tbsp vanilla syrup (homemade recipe linked here)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2-4 tbsp espresso OR 1 cup strong coffee
- 1/4 cup milk
While that brews, combine 3/4 cup of milk, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon in a pan on low/medium heat. Medium/high is dangerous when warming milk. The flavors also combine better when cooked on lower heat. Stir occasionally, until mixture is hot.
While the mixture heats, warm 1/4 cup milk in microwave and froth it. I have a $10 Amazon frother I use. You can also mix some vanilla or cinnamon in the froth for extra flavor/sweetener.
Pour espresso into a mug, add the mixture, then top with froth and cinnamon!
Side note: If you use coffee instead of espresso, follow the same instructions, just with coffee! Also, the milky froth isn’t super necessary, but it does make it pretty. If you decide to skip the froth, use a full cup of milk on the stovetop mixture.
If you aren’t a vanilla fan, substitute vanilla with other syrups you may like. You could use hazelnut, white chocolate, peppermint, caramel, mocha, or whatever!
I hope this makes your mornings sweeter! | <urn:uuid:824a60e7-4434-4c0d-9d40-96524ff8319e> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://cassidyallen.com/2019/09/27/vanilla-latte-recipe/ | 2020-11-29T04:01:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141196324.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20201129034021-20201129064021-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.865825 | 379 |

you're a great lady ms mcindoe. and thanks for helping us with gits
She was a good teacher - I had her for English back in 1970 when she first started teaching
She is undastnding, helpful, calm, nd speaks to us like we r the age we r, nt like some teachers who communicate with their students as though they are all imature. I used to dislike English. Not now!
A brilliant teacher, very understanding with an excellent mind.

Great teacher! Always felt welcome and accepted in her classroom.

It’s nice to see that modern cars are evolving at an astonishing pace, incorporating innovative gadgets, advanced safety features and powerful engines, but, once in a while, you just want to spend some time looking up older models. This can be frustrating, as information about certain cars can be pretty scarce and not entirely accurate, to say the least. That’s why we salute Audi’s decision to launch a virtual heritage showroom on its UK site.
The dedicated web-page is a corner of Heaven not only for Audi fans, but for all enthusiasts who can appreciate a blast from the past.
The virtual tour showcases a bevy of historic models, ranging from the 1913 Audi Type C to the über-achieving R8, as well as the brand’s trademark innovations, such the quattro all-wheel drive system, and glorious motorsport moments.

Justus von Liebig by Professor William H. Brock
Book DescriptionOne of the founding fathers of organic chemistry and also a great teacher, the German scientist Justus von Liebig transformed scientific education, medical practice, and agriculture in Great Britain. William H. Brock's fresh interpretation of Liebig's stormy career shows how he moved chemistry into the sociopolitical marketplace, demonstrating its significance for society in food production, nutrition, and public health. Through his controversial ideas on artificial fertilizers and recycling, his theory of disease, and his stimulating suggestions concerning food and nutrition, he warned the world of the dangers of failing to recycle sewage or to replace soil nutrients. Liebig also played the role of an elder statesman of European science by commenting, via popular lectures and expansions of his readable Chemical Letters, on such issues as scientific methodology and materialism.

Featured speakers Paul Ekman, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, UC San Francisco and Dacher Keltner, Professor of Psychology, UC Berkeley discuss the connections between emotion and spirituality
Aside from being the scientific force underlying hit TV series “Lie to me”, Dr. Paul Ekman was a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco for 32 years. He received his undergraduate education at the University of Chicago and New York University. Ekman then received his Ph.D. from Adelphi University in 1958 after spending a year in clinical internship at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, part of UCSF.
His interests have focused on two separate but related topics. He originally focused on ‘nonverbal’ behavior, and by the mid-60’s concentrated on the expression and physiology of emotion. His second interest is interpersonal deception.
His many honors have included the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association in 1991, and an honorary doctor of humane letters from the University of Chicago in 1994. Dr. Ekman retired from UCSF in 2004. He currently continues to consult on research and training related to emotion and deception.
Dacher Keltner, Professor of Psychology, is a social psychologist who focuses on the prosocial emotions, such as love, sympathy and gratitude, and processes such as teasing and flirtation that enhance bonds.
He has conducted empirical studies in three areas of inquiry. A first looks at the determinant and effects of power, hierarchy and social class. A second in concerned with the morality of everyday life, and how we negotiate moral truths in teasing, gossip, and other reputational matters. A third and primary focus in on the biological and evolutionary basis of the benevolent affects, including compassion, awe, love, gratitude, and laughter and modesty.

The disappearance and death of an elderly Hearne man appear to be headed to the cold case file.
Hearne police say they've exhausted all leads in the search for Ray Foster during the past 3 weeks. The latest leads were two individuals described as "persons of interest." But they were dismissed after voluntarily taking polygraph tests.
After missing for a week, Foster was found dead near his car just south of the Hearne airport. An autopsy determined he died of natural causes, but police suspected foul play since his wallet was missing credit cards and cash.
Anyone with information surrounding the disappearance and death of Foster is asked to contact Hearne Police at 279-5333. | <urn:uuid:bcad3de4-e259-4b25-9c4c-573747aa49b8> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/1692972.html | 2016-12-08T06:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542414.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00298-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9874 | 138 |
I very rarely drink tea anymore because if I can’t drink it hot, it’s not worth it. And trying to drink tea with lots of little hands grabbing at it kind of takes away from the tranquil experience. So I usually just save the tea for Saturday mornings when I’m kid free, but this morning I thought, “Ya know what? I’m willing to swat four hands away from my cup for a couple minutes of hot tea with my breakfast.”
I put the kettle on the stove, and prep my loose leaf Earl Grey tea in my Best-Mom-Ever cup. I arrange our breakfast plates with eggs, veggie burgers, and gluten-free pasta and place the plates on the kitchen table. The girls start jumping up and down, “Breafast! Breafast!” I open the gate, and they barrel through, climbing up their chairs in haste. “Pasta!”
Once I get the girls settled, I pour hot water into my cup and let it steep on the kitchen counter for a few minutes. I munch on my hardboiled eggs and veggie burger wishing my tea could just hurry up and steep. It’s not like I have all the time in the world. I often get this far with tea, but I rarely actually get to drink it. Well today, it happened!
I remove the loose leaf tea infuser from of the cup, shake it out a little, and place it near the sink. I lift the cup and smell the aroma of caffeine and bergamot. It’s time. The day has arrived when I can begin to integrate tea regularly back into my life, and you tea drinkers know how important this is. My husband is Russian, and they drink tea with every meal and snack. I was a huge tea drinker before I met him, and it’s only gotten worse!
One of my biggest fears when I was pregnant with the twins was that it would be years before I had a hot cup of tea, but with the help of family and friends, tea became a reality a couple of times a month. But today was the day that it looked like a possibility a couple of times a week.
I walk over to the kitchen table, my smile intriguing the girls. They immediately wave their hands in the air, “Hottie. Owie. Don’t touch.”
I sit down. “That’s right. Mama’s cup. Careful it’s hot.”
R waves her hands above the cup, “Hottie. Cool off.”
L laughs, and I turn and smile at her, while the cup delightfully warms my hand.
I hear R say, “Hottie. Cool off. Blow.” I hear Rose spitting air over my tea, and then I hear a plunk.
I whip my head around. What the heck just landed in my tea?? I see a macaroni noodle float to the top. I look up at R, and her mouth is full of pasta. She gasps and raises her hands to her mouth, “Oh no!”
Now I could have been really angry. As a mom, sometimes we have nothing for ourselves, nothing that belongs to us without little hands tugging at it, pulling at it, touching it. This cup of tea represented something that was mine, and now it had buttered pasta floating in it.
Well I just started cracking up. Inhalations of patience and huge exhalations of humor. R’s mouth transformed from an “O” to a giant smile with chubby cheeks full of pasta, her eyes sparkled, and she started clapping. L joined in with the giggling, and baby V too with her gummy grin.
And I sat there, admiring the moment, appreciating what was fleeting. They’ll be in pre-school soon, and we won’t be able to have a leisurely breakfast every morning. In that breath, I was thankful for my humor because it allowed me to treasure the experience instead of become frustrated. Taking a hot beverage away from a sleep deprived mama is always a bad idea, but instead of chucking the cup, I just grabbed a fork, fished out the noodle, and kept on drinking. What’s a little buttered macaroni in my tea compared to delight shared with my children? | <urn:uuid:457e903d-9a81-49db-8638-f001d3e02dda> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://mommysync.com/a-little-macaroni-in-my-tea/ | 2019-01-23T00:32:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583875448.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20190122223011-20190123005011-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.964874 | 945 |

Environmental groups, year after year, argue that Pennsylvania must prioritize more state funding for conservation projects.
This time around, however, they finally feel heard.
“Pennsylvania right now, has one thing that it hasn’t had in a long time, if ever … and that is momentum,” said Harry Campbell, science policy and advocacy director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
The CBF has worked since the 1960s as a watchdog to preserve the rivers and streams that flow into the Chesapeake Bay watershed that extends across six states.
Campbell pointed to the $220 million Clean Streams Fund passed by the General Assembly last year as a “down payment on clean water in the state of Pennsylvania” that could fund conservation projects to tamp down agricultural runoff.
He said it’s a “significant start,” but only just that – a start. The CBF wants to see dedicated annual state funding to ensure progress. Much of that will be focused on the commonwealth’s agricultural sector.
In a recent op-ed, Campbell said more than 90% of Pennsylvania’s remaining pollution reductions must come from agriculture.
More funding could address other environmental issues, too.
“Long-term funding by the commonwealth in a strong Clean Streams Fund can also reduce the impacts of polluted runoff from urban areas, clean up acid mine drainage, and help plant more trees along streams and streets,” Campbell wrote.
The process isn’t a simple to-do list, though. Conservation practices vary based on individual farms, Campbell said, and can range from streambank fencing to keep livestock out to more tree cover along riverbanks and stormwater management. Local factors determine the approach.
“Everybody wants to find the magical bullet,” Campbell said. “If we just do this thing, then all our problems go away. And it’s just simply not the case. It’s a myriad of things that are individually tailored to the farm.”
The state’s Phase 3 Watershed Implementation Plan, which has not been implemented, estimated that $320 million annually would need to be spent to hit its pollution reduction goals.
“These issues don’t go away over the course of one or two or three years,” Campbell said. “So we need that long, sustained, predictable funding.”
Though some shy away from so much spending on conservation, Campbell argued that the return on investment can be high.
Cleaner streams can lower treatment costs for drinking water, improve farming productivity, and boost the agricultural sector with more resilient farms. Other conservation projects, such as reduced flood damage, means conservation impacts could drive as much as $6 billion worth of improvements to the natural ecosystem.
“When we invest in these things … those returns first and foremost have their benefits in our backyard,” Campbell said.

To have "ants in your pants" means to be agitated about something, to the point of dancing around in excitement or frustration. Seeing ants covering your fruit and vegetables may, indeed, frustrate. Ant bait may take care of the problem, but you might be uncomfortable placing toxic poisons around your edibles, especially if you have young children or pets wandering around the garden.
Make A Moat
Sure, your home is your castle, but your garden is important too, and one way you can keep ants from invading your territory is to create a moat. Ants will not cross a barrier composed of soapy water, according to the University of Minnesota Extension. If you have a small vegetable garden or container plants, creating a moat (try using plastic gutters buried in the soil) filled with soapy water might keep ants at bay. For container herbs, vegetables and fruit, try placing a brick inside a saucer filled with soapy water. Then, place the potted plant on the brick. If you don't want to mess with water or deal with the mess water might make, try lining your moat with sticky tape, sticky-side up.
Turn the Tables
Repel ants from invading your fruit by using ... fruit. Lemons and other citrus plants, with their strong, acidic aromas, repel ants, and fleas and cockroaches as well. Cut up a lemon or orange into small pieces and scatter it around your vegetables or fruit tree. You also can make a solution consisting of orange or lemon peels blended with 1 cup of warm water to get rid of ants. Use as many rinds as it takes to make a thick mixture, and then pour the liquid onto ant trails, holes and anthills. Although there has never been a scientific study showing that this method will repel ants for good, it is a simple-to-execute solution that may work temporarily.
Draw a Picture
Posting "keep out" signs aren't going to keep ants out, but drawing them a simple picture might: Ants are repelled by calcium carbonate, according to Reader's Digest, which is the primary ingredient in chalk. Hand your kids each a stick of chalk and let them draw circles around your container plants. This obviously works best for plants placed on a hard surface, such as concrete or a porch. Rain will wash the chalk away, so be sure to redraw the lines after each rainstorm -- or get your budding artists to do it for you.
Raid Your Cupboards
Nose through the cupboards in your kitchen and bathroom to find secret weapons you can use against ants. Ants won't cross a salt border, so sprinkling a barrier of salt around your fruits and vegetables is an easy and inexpensive way to repel ants. Unfortunately, salt can damage soil, so this is used best around containers. Alternately, use talcum powder to create a border. Like chalk, rain probably will wash it away, but until then it at least won't damage the soil. For another idea, grab that vinegar, and create a solution of equal parts vinegar and water. Spray the area around your plants to repel ants.

We offer a more affordable solution than our competitors, with better pricing and rates, a more flexible system, and industry leading software. All this amounts to increased profits and a lot of time saved! If this sounds good to you, read on to find out more about how we can help you.

The PTS trust account solution is fully compliant with The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, allowing you to either operate as a travel agent or a tour operator simultaneously.
The PTS solution focuses on a trust model. We operate by charging per transaction, this ranges from £0.45 – £0.75 for a credit to the trust account and £1.00 – £1.75 for a debit from the trust account. Included in these costs is the reconciliation on each booking allowing you to see not just the total value received, but the supplier costs, admin costs, and overall profit on a per booking basis.

The PTS system also includes an online client itinerary for your clients to securely log into and monitor payments made into trust and attendee details on their bookings. We can also offer a small business ATOL for £740.00, payable directly to the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). This is an ATOL in your company name that is secured against the trust account administered by PTS on your behalf.
The merchant services (the ability to take debit and credit card payments from your clients either over the telephone or via a payment page on your website deposited directly into your trust account) that PTS offers are in your company name meaning you have a direct relationship with the merchant provider. Rates range from 1% – 1.5% for credit cards and 0.25% – 0.5% for debit cards. All card payments are deposited in full within 1-3 working days into the trust accounts. PTS also offer multiple currency trust accounts and merchant services allowing you to take card payments in other currencies and retain these payments in those currencies (Euro, USD, CAD, CHF etc).
PTS operates independent trustees who are a firm of Chartered Accountants. This means that PTS are purely the administrators of the account on the behalf of you, the PTS member. We are regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) as well as a franchise of the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). All of this is for your confidence, and the confidence of the consumer when placing a booking with you, knowing that they are both 100% financially protected.
PTS charge a one-off application fee of just £999.00 + VAT and then £99.00 + VAT per month thereafter. PTS makes its money through charging on a per transaction basis and not on the percentage of your profit, making it a much more cost-effective solution for members.
If you’d like to discuss migrating to PTS further, please get in contact with one of Protected Trust Services’ (PTS) lovely staff members by calling 0207 190 9988. Or, you can visit our member support and travel trust account pages to learn more about how we protect you. | <urn:uuid:09b6ef15-4378-44bc-9084-f15c80652245> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.protectedtrustservices.com/business/member-support-and-advice/migrating-your-business-to-pts/ | 2022-05-20T21:14:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662534669.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20220520191810-20220520221810-00424.warc.gz | en | 0.95958 | 868 |

The practices and guidelines presented in this report are intended as a reference document for states to improve the quality of traffic data collection and processing on high-volume routes especially. The guidelines are not intended as uniform standards that all states must follow, and they are not intended to replace existing successful practices. This report and the accompanying CD are intended to serve as a resource to state DOTs by providing information on best and common practices as well as a library of additional documents produced by state DOTs. While many of the practices are common and widely known, it is expected that this compendium assembles the various approaches being used to improve HPMS traffic data collection activities especially on high-volume routes. Following are general conclusions from this examination of current data collection and processing practices.
The definition of high-volume traffic routes varies from agency to agency. In fact, no state has a definition based solely on traffic volume. Rather high-volume locations are defined in terms of the difficulty in installing data-collecting equipment with safety of traffic personnel mentioned as the primary concern. It is recommended that states have adopted several practices to improve data collection, processing, and reporting for such routes. The practices are grouped into four major categories: (i) general, (ii) data collection equipment (iii) data collection, and (iv) data processing, quality control, and quality assurance. Descriptions of these practices are provided in Chapter 3 and illustrate how states address the issues and challenges, and include sources of further information and contacts.
Training and guidelines for field personnel involved in installing and removing equipment was identified as crucial by many states. Approaches like ramp balancing on limited access freeways, coordinating equipment installation with construction activities, and use of safety procedures are some strategies used by state DOTs to improve their data collection efforts. It was also noted that data and resource sharing is becoming an increasingly common practice among state agencies.
The use of ITS generated data for HPMS reporting is increasing. Several states like Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois have successfully used ITS data for HPMS reporting. Other states are experimenting with using ITS data sources for HPMS reporting. While quality concerns exist, ITS data have great potential especially to supplement short-term counts.
Inductive loops and pneumatic road-tubes are the prevalent equipment of choice among the state DOTs. Equipment problems were common to all states interviewed, regardless of the type of equipment and traffic conditions. Several strategies are identified to improve data collection including the use of maintenance contracts, installation guidelines, the use of advanced technologies and techniques.
Non-intrusive equipment are being tested by many states for data collection. Various technologies ranging from microwave, acoustic, laser, etc have been investigated by 10 of the 13 states interviewed. Descriptions of non-intrusive data collection equipment identify the limitations, advantages, and evaluation results and provide a guide to technology selection.

While we’re still waiting for the iPad Pro to come to life a new patent proposes the idea to stick two iPads together. Apple got a brand new patent this week that refers to an advanced magnetic attachment unit, that sticks two devices together, in this case two tablets.
The documents refer to a system, method and apparatus for forming a cooperative system using magnetic attachment. The figures and sketches included in the patent illustrate arrangements formed by magnetically uniting tablet devices via flexible magnetic attachments. Back in 2012 Apple filed a patent for a virtual keyboard related to a notebook, but the concept also involved a dual iPad setup.
The new patent also covers Smart Cover designs, that may add secondary writing pace, a keyboard, trackpad and the potential use of a handle to allow the user to hold onto the product in a safer way. In the meantime Apple engineers are working on Smart Covers with solar panels, inductive charging and more goodies, even a wraparound book-style appearance.
The problem with uniting two iPads is… owning two iPads. | <urn:uuid:19482b9a-1565-4256-86c3-fc2c28c6fc99> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://drippler.com/drip/apple-gets-patent-cooperative-magnetic-attachment-systems-could-stick-together-ipad-pros | 2017-12-16T13:14:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948588072.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216123525-20171216145525-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.933222 | 214 |
Metabolite experts gather at the University of Alabama
Researchers who use fruit flies hope to boost cooperation
Published: Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 9:57 p.m.
About 25 scientists who use fruit flies to research metabolites — naturally occurring molecules in the human body that might hold keys to predicting certain diseases — are scheduled to meet at University of Alabama this weekend to discuss ways to develop a more standardized approach to their research with the insects.
“We are all at a critical point as to making decisions about how we proceed,” said Laura Reed, UA assistant professor of biological sciences and one of the co-hosts of the International Drosophila Metabolomics Consortium at UA today and Sunday in the Science and Engineering Complex.
Metabolomics, a relatively new field, is the study of how metabolites react to different genetic and environmental conditions.
Reed, who has been conducting metabolite research for about five years, said fruit flies are one of the best animal models for human diseases. She uses the insects in her search for new metabolites that might, like blood glucose levels, serve as predictors of obesity and diabetes.
Reed said among the challenges she and others have encountered is a lack of a systematic approach for how metabolomic research in fruit flies is conducted.
“Part of the goal is to get all of the players in the same room talking to each other,” she said.
Establishing a set of standards would help the researchers, among other things, better understand each other's work, she said.
Reed said she would also like to see development of a database of metabolites found in the flies, akin to the National Institutes of Health's Genbank, a collection of information on publicly available genetic sequences. The database would be a centralized resource that researchers could use as a point of reference.
Reed said she is unsure exactly what will be the product of the brainstorming session about research standards, though she anticipates there will be a proposal for another workshop in the spring to continue the discussions.
Reed said the idea for the consortium began during a conversation with Reed's co-organizer, Thomas Merritt of Laurentian University in Ontario, during a conference in the spring. The two researchers were encountering similar challenges in their metabolite research and agreed a larger coordinated effort was needed.

MADE IN AMERICA!
The U.S. Constitution is our nation's most important document. But sadly, it has been almost entirely forgotten by our politicians and even most of our fellow citizens.
If the same document was written today, liberals and the mainstream media would label it as crazy, right-wing extremism that can't work in modern society. And if we don't educate our friends and family about the real meaning of the Constitution, they're going to buy the BS that is fed to them by the education system in America and the media that they're blasted with every day.
What better way to start a conversation with friends or family about the Constitution, than while enjoying putting together a 1,000 piece puzzle of the Constitution?
In our fast-paced world of technology and entertainment, sometimes we just need to take a break from it all and do something a little less demanding. Why not take a few hours with your spouse, kids, or friend and pop in a movie while enjoying the victory of solving a puzzle together.
Never sold in Wal-Mart, these puzzles are made 100% in the USA!

Into the Mouth of the Cat: The Story of Lance Sijan, Hero of Vietnam by Malcolm McConnell. W. W. Norton & Company (http://www.wwnorton.com), 500 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10110, 1985, 253 pages, $13.95(softcover).
Lance Sijan is currently the only graduate of the US Air Force Academy to win the Medal of Honor. Unfortunately for him, like the majority of recipients of this award, he received the decoration posthumously.
During a mission over Laos in 1967, a faulty fuse caused a bomb to detonate just after release, downing his plane. Rescue attempts failed, and Sijan spent six weeks crawling through the jungle with a compound fracture before the North Vietnamese army captured him passed out in the middle of a dirt road. Despite a number of serious injuries, made worse by malnutrition, he escaped before being captured a second time. He died a few weeks later in captivity. Before he died, he told other prisoners of war what he had done, and North Vietnamese guards would later independently confirm his story.
The author of this book, journalist Malcolm McConnell, was a high school classmate of Sijanís, but he had very little to work withóboth in the sense of story and of source material. Sijan was only 25 years old when he died, and there was no direct witness to his escape and evasion efforts. Instead of trying to produce a traditional biography, McConnell instead focuses on the events of 1967 and 1968 that made Sijan a legend, and at various points along the way incorporates other elements of the story.
The source material for this book would seem at first blush to be quite weak. McConnell conducted a series of interviews with Sijanís friends, family, and fellow prisoners of war. The story of Sijanís struggle is based entirely on secondhand accounts, which usually have clear limits to their utility and reliability. Memory, though, is a tricky thing. Sijan reported his experience with his fellow prisoners, and people with little to do can focus on and incorporate into their long-term memory an amazing amount of important items. McConnell pushes his sources to their limits, but they stand up on close investigation.
The result is an impressively good read. There is no denying the heroic nature of Sijanís behavior after his plane was downed. The story is quite powerful on its own and sells itself. In short, any member of the US Air Force going near combat should read this book. It is sobering, but also inspiring.

What would Steve Jobs do? That's a question that hangs over techno geeks as they gather for this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the gadgetpalooza that kicks off tomorrow in Las Vegas. Apple and its chief executive officer won't be at CES, though Apple's tablet, which is rumored to be debut later this month, is a guaranteed talker. Apple is one of the biggest trendsetters in technology, revolutionizing not one but four distinct markets: computers, movies, music and mobile phones. With the tablet whipping the media into a frenzy -- and with Jobs being named CEO of the Decade by Fortune magazine -- we look back at the top Apple moments of the past decade.
If these moments helped shape Apple in the '00s, how will they shape the company's (and technology's) future in this decade? | <urn:uuid:0ecf38fa-af8a-4835-9eb3-0fb8664fe555> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/from-ipod-to-tablet-apple_n_413421 | 2021-07-28T01:09:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153515.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20210727233849-20210728023849-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.950929 | 170 |
I come on the wings of love! There is much to have discourse on in this amazing time upon your dear planet Earth, for all about you, changes are being wrought seemingly overnight and quite often, without too much fanfare. What used to take months and years to accomplish and bring into manifestation now comes forth in the twinkling of an eye. Truly it is a magical and powerful time to be walking on this Earth! You are all learning that you are, indeed, powerful Creators in your own right.
People the world over are learning that the power of their intention and then following through on their intention with determination and resolve can open many doors that they thought locked forever. Nothing is forever, Dear Ones, and this has been and will continue to be proven over and over again as time in its linear form marches on. All is in a state of change, a state of flux and flow, sometimes ebbing, sometimes at rest and sometimes in flow and this is just a fact in the great omniverse that is teeming with life. Even our Creator is always moving, always growing and expanding, always learning and experiencing through us, for such is the stuff of life.
Life is to be experienced to the fullest, with full awareness and consciousness and this has been something that humanity as a whole has forgotten. The system that has been long established upon Earth has kept humanity in a constant state of fear of survival, and not leaving much room or energy to move beyond that perception. This is now in a state of flux and people everywhere are beginning to awaken to the knowledge that they have the power to choose their experiences and that their experiences can be good, positive, empowering and nurturing.
Observe the happenings around you, observe the people around you. Do they seem different to you or is everything still what was once considered normal? By observing with keen interest, one can begin to discern the changes that have been taking place within the hearts of humanity. There is more determination and resolve, yes – but there is also a greater tolerance and respect for each other than has ever been evident between people since the ancient days of forgotten civilizations that were in existence when love reigned upon the lands.
As people begin to honor the Divine within each other, and accept the uniqueness of each individual rather than judge each other for not fitting into their expectations of what they should be, more harmony and peace will fill the land. When humanity feels these states of being within themselves, the outer manifestations of their lives will reflect this. This is why the Family of Light has been telling you for years that what is taking place within you is reflected back to you through those you have chosen to walk with in your current life. As you continue to release old patterns of feeling and being, remember this, for it will help you gain a greater awareness of what it is you need to work upon. Your partners, family and co-workers will mirror back to you what you are feeling within.
When pondering on the purpose of the emergence of issues that come forth, remember that it is all about you. You are the one creating your scenarios, for you are a creator and you are more powerful than has been apparent to you. What is taking place as the issue comes forth is calling for you to bring out into the open, the hidden aspects of yourselves that need to come to the surface in order to gain recognition and love, balance and healing.
These are the very ways in which you gain the mastery of yourselves, of life in the physical realms. We encourage you to keep on keeping on, for the Light of the new day is dawning - indeed, it is here now! | <urn:uuid:3fa7047e-b72c-4591-af4f-51d9c17eb91d> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://russ999.pixnet.net/blog/post/321731378 | 2021-04-13T14:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038072366.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20210413122252-20210413152252-00405.warc.gz | en | 0.838019 | 742 |

- WORD LISTS & LESSONS
Adjectives are words that describe (or modify) nouns and pronouns. Most adjectives answer the questions Which one? What kind? How many? Our adjective lists help students understand how these words work to enhance any sentence!
Kindergarten lessons frequently incorporate adjectives (“describing words”), such as naming colors and using adjective opposites (tall/short, big/little, happy/sad). Grade 1 students begin to identify shades of meaning in adjectives. By Grade 2 or Grade 3, students understand that adjectives describe people, places, and things (nouns), and that an adjective may tell how many, what color, or what size or shape. Third grade students also learn how to form and use comparative and superlative adjectives. Knowing and studying adjective lists is imperative in early learning for enhancing parts of speech practice.
Adjectives are generally used before nouns until Grade 4. In Grades 4 and 5, students use adjective lists to become more familiar with identifying and using adjectives that follow a noun or pronoun and a linking verb; these are called predicate adjectives (e.g. Children grow older every day).
Word study of adjectives should give students opportunities to distinguish among comparative (comparing two things, -er, -ier, more) and superlative (comparing three or more things, -est, -iest, most) adjectives, as well as increasing familiarity with demonstrative adjectives (these shoes, that dog) and proper adjectives (Shakespearean tragedy, German chocolate).
Look through our example adjective lists to see the types of words students should master as they progress through early learning:
Common Core State Standards Related to Adjectives
Demonstrate understanding of frequently occurring verbs and adjectives by relating them to their opposites (antonyms).
Use frequently occurring adjectives.
Use determiners (e.g., articles, demonstratives).
Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs differing in manner (e.g., look, peek, glance, stare, glare, scowl) and adjectives differing in intensity (e.g., large, gigantic) by defining or choosing them or by acting out the meanings.
Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using frequently occurring conjunctions to signal simple relationships (e.g. because).
Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using adjectives and adverbs to describe (e.g., When other kids are happy that makes me happy).
Form and use comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified.
Other CCSS connections
Sort words into categories (e.g., colors, clothing) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.
Define words by category and by one or more key attributes (e.g., a duck is a bird that swims; a tiger is a large cat with stripes).
Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note place at home that are cozy).
Use adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified.
Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., describe foods that are spicy or juicy).
Distinguish shades of meaning among closely related verbs (e.g., toss, throw, hurl) and closely related adjectives (e.g., thin, slender, skinny, scrawny).
Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., describe people who are friendly or helpful).
Order adjectives within sentences according to conventional patterns (e.g., a small red bag rather than a red small bag).
Use the relationship between particular words (e.g., synonyms, antonyms, homographs) to better understand each of the words.
3-5 Adjectives: many, young, quiet, clever, cold, purple, gentle, huge, square, sweet
6-8 Adjectives: sparse, modern, immense, wooden, faithful, beautiful, important, deafening, hollow, crooked
9-12 Adjectives: nonchalant, substantial, nutritious, mysterious, outrageous, glamorous, ancient, abstract, incompetent, thundering, miniature, inexpensive, abundant, victorious, permissible

Martin Eakes and other team from Worry about-Assist, the imaginative New york-built borrowing union, have to be thinking if the they will have moved back in its history.
As to why Provides Banking companies Averted Credit so you’re able to Reduced-Income People in america?
Eakes, which created Thinking-Assist, possess spent recent years age attempting to grow borrowing from the bank, eg old-fashioned mortgages, in order to reasonable-earnings borrowers, also to promote and you can eliminate threats that will get rid of an excellent bad family’s wealth. The guy and his personnel acknowledged early the main character you to homeownership can play during the allowing reduced-money family to go on the middle-income group. Those people efforts are chronicled from inside the Financing Electricity, a unique book from the Howard Covington you to illustrates the new company’s increase and you will longtime efforts to simply help low-money somebody buy land and you will introduce small enterprises.
From the mid-eighties, whenever Worry about-Help is searching for its ground, the newest economic community got several significant blind locations when it arrived in order to financing so you can lower-income anyone. Most importantly, very banks believed reasonable-money family members, particularly categories of color, to be borrowing from the bank threats, scarcely going for mortgages within old-fashioned rates.
“There’d been a bona-fide not be able to learn to develop homeownership into the that portion at margin off alternative credit when you look at the a manner in which performs,” demonstrates to you Jim Parrott, a fellow in the Metropolitan Institute.
Self-Help enrolled the help of fundamentals and huge banking companies to create funding, and given individualized financing you to appeared beyond borrowers’ credit history-investigating instead their capability to constantly pay the book, eg. The company as well as written a hold loans to simply help borrowers battling to generally meet repayments.
Thanks to some extent so you can Thinking-Help’s jobs, financing so you’re able to reasonable- and you will average-income anybody (LMI, inside industry-speak) started to gain traction regarding late 1990s. However, in the housing increase of the early 2000s, low-money consumers encountered growing threats from predatory lenders. These businesses commonly stuck responsible individuals which have entitled to old-fashioned financing with high priced charges and create-ons-such things as increased products, balloon mortgage loans that have costs you to definitely swelled over the years, and pre-fee charges. Sometimes, new money had been such as for example targeted to black colored family members. Black Us americans making yearly salaries regarding $100,100000 was indeed very likely to receive subprime loans than whites and work out $29,100000. People men finished up within the foreclosure into the recession considering the untenable regards to the fund.
Self-Let got uncovered these predatory financing methods ten years earlier, sooner or later assisting to pass pioneering anti-predatory guidelines into the Vermont. Plus the business’s spinoff class, one’s heart to have Responsible Lending, got a major hand-in arming the consumer Financial Defense Bureau (CFPB), hence protects people of predatory mortgages and you will obligations traps. [Editor’s mention: Find out more concerning latest threats for the CFPB here].
Since this type of predatory financing could have been primarily snuffed away, advocates is actually making reference to other problem: Borrowing to help you lowest-income organizations keeps dried up just like the property foreclosure epidemic. Credit criteria are extremely a whole lot more stringent, with lots of loan providers unwilling to get a threat to the lowest-income https://paydayloanservice.net/payday-loans-md/ household. “We’ve viewed no extreme recuperation regarding financing so you’re able to LMI neighborhoods,” demonstrates to you Jason Richardson, director away from research and evaluation within National People Reinvestment Coalition, citing the fresh recently-create Federal Reserve data. | <urn:uuid:24036f02-f37a-4a14-8521-34a9e6303348> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.koii-sushi.it/2022/06/24/as-to-why-have-financial-institutions-avoided/ | 2022-08-17T19:21:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.947475 | 1,088 |

The Disappointing Reality of Getting Arrested for Being Black and Trans
Image: Artist Kalkidan Assefa at work on Ottawa’s Black Trans Live Matter mural. The mural was later defaced and painted over with “RACIST BULLSHIT,” “ALL COLOURS MATTER,” and “ALL LIVES, NO DOUBLE STANDARD, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.”
[Trigger Warning for discussion of violence against trans women.]
21 transgender women have been murdered in the U.S. during 2015. 13 were murdered in 2014. These somber totals don’t include the deaths that went unreported by police or media, or women who were misgendered. Almost all of these murdered women were transgender WoC.
I personally know how difficult it is to be a transgender woman, but I have no concept of how exponentially harder it is to be a trans woman of color—to experience that extra layer of oppression society throws at you. Being alive when you are black and transgender is a risk. Every day is a mine-strewn path of intersectional racism and transphobia, and it affects every little thing. This is highlighted by the terrible experience of Meagan Taylor.
Meagan and a friend were traveling in Iowa in July 2015, from Kansas City to Des Moines, to attend the funeral of her friend’s brother. This was not an easy time for either of these women. Despite Meagan being a regular hotel guest of the Drury Inn hotel chain, she knew something was wrong as they started to check-in on that particular night.
Meagan shares her experience over at Oximity, writing:
The woman at the front desk was giving us a hard time because my Illinois identification listed my old name and had an “M” identifying me as “male.” I haven’t had the money to obtain a legal name change and update my identification documents with my correct name and gender.
The hotel staff were initially hostile but let the guests stay. After the pair had checked in, however, the hotel called the police. The 911 staff were confused by the complaint, and it wasn’t until the hotel manager accused the women of possibly being “hookers” that the call was actioned. You can listen to the call (NB: MP3 link) here.
Very early the next morning, non-uniformed police officers arrived at Meagan and her friend’s hotel room and questioned them for 45 minutes. Her friend was able to leave and attend the funeral, but the police arrested Meagan on the pretext that she had hormones with her ‘’without a prescription on her person.” How many cis people check into that hotel daily with birth control on them without a prescription on them? Or asthma medication? Meagan was held in solitary confinement for eight days without being read her rights, until supporters were able to raise bail for her release.
The American Civil Liberties Union took on the case for free, and all the “charges” were dropped. It’s hard to understand how someone can be arrested for being a paying hotel guest. What is comes down to is Meagan and her friend were different from the hotel manager. This story is about a mixture of racism and transphobia toward paying guests just because the women were black and transgender. That was it. They committed no crime, they were not disruptive, loud, rude or argumentative; it’s just that they dared to exist.
The excuse given by the hotel is that Meagan and her friend were women who had “male IDs” and “dressed over the top.” You’re a hotel, not a fashion house! Are your customers fully clothed? If the answer is yes, then you need to be quiet about what they are wearing. Your views on what other people are wearing are arbitrary, not something to call the police about. “Did you see that man walk in, blue suit with black shoes? Just no, not in this hotel. I’m calling the FBI!”
As for the “male IDs,” it’s really difficult in many places to change your gender on your ID. It’s a lot of work, very expensive, and depending on local laws, can be impossible altogether. This is a process I’ve recently started, and it’s nearly a full-time job contacting the government and companies to get IDs updated—and it has to be done during business hours, which is difficult when you’re working full-time. It really shouldn’t be surprising that trans people’s appearance doesn’t always match their ID. If governments want trans people to always match their ID, then make the process for doing so cheaper, easier, and faster.
The ACLU is now suing the Drury Inn Hotel chain on behalf of Meagan. According to ACLU attorney Chase Strangio,
This type of profiling of transgender women of color is all too common and is part of the cycle that results in 41 percent of Black transgender women having been incarcerated at some point in their lives, … Such blatant discrimination and violation of Iowa law by hotel staff who called law enforcement to remove and arrest paying customers cannot be tolerated.
I reached out to the Drury Inn for comment and to Meagan via the ACLU, I will update this article when/if they respond.
As a trans woman, I’m stared at constantly. I am always assessing my safety, and I have the privilege of being white. When you are black and transgender, things are a lot worse, and America in particular needs to take action on this issue. Some progress has been made in 2015, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) addressing the issue, saying that the violence is “heartbreaking,” and “it’s important to listen to the people most affected by it.”
The epidemic of murders has at last been noticed by politicians. Perhaps in 2016 action will be taken to help solve the crisis.

This is the first of my new column about the cupcake business called, Flour Power. This will be a weekly or bi-weekly blog post on Mondays about what matters to cupcake bakery owners. If you have suggestions about what to discuss, please send submissions.
In case you missed it, Groupon's CEO Andrew Mason was fired and the company is not doing well. I have chatted with many bakery owners over the years, and many have said that doing a Groupon deal has been stressful for their business. Some have even said that they have been detrimental to their business.
Conversely, many cupcake lovers love Groupon for the deals but often don't redeem in time or don't become regulars or repeat customers of the bakery. I would love to hear from you guys. Your opinion matters. I have a created a survey for our readers to answer. Click here to take survey
The FREE survey will only take 100 submissions, so feel free to leave a comment to this blog post after submissions are full. | <urn:uuid:82a31d61-b8a6-4f35-b165-21c7ab709b84> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2013/03/flour-power-cupcake-bakeries-and-groupon.html | 2017-12-13T18:36:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948530668.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213182224-20171213202224-00382.warc.gz | en | 0.981938 | 208 |

The Kitronik ZIP Hex LED has a single RGB LED which can be controlled with a Microprocessor to produce a full spectrum of colours.
The LED is a WS2812Mini, for which software packages are available for the BBC micro:bit and other processors.
The board has been specifically designed to allow you to chain the boards together. They have 6 evenly spaced pads around the outside of the PCB that can be connected to with crocodile clips or M3 fixings. They can also be stacked by rotating the PCB 180 degrees to create columns.
The ZIP Hex LED has an operating voltage of between 3.5V to 5V and can be fed into the boards via the +V and 0V pads. Data to the LED is fed to the LED via the IN pad. When chaining ZIP Hex LEDs together, or other ZIP LED boards, the OUT of the first board should have a connection to the IN of the second board, repeated for each board in the chain. You would also connect the +V and 0V pads of each board together.
- It features a single WS2812Mini LED which can produce a full spectrum of colours.
- It can be controlled by a Microprocessor, such as the microbit.

The United Pallet Authority has issued an alert that there is a shortage of wooden shipping pallets. The pallets, which are generally used as a base for delivery items, are in short supply.
"Ten years ago, you'd see them everywhere. They were in dumpsters, alleys - just look behind any building, you know" stated one official who wishes to remain anonymous. He even said that he had recently seen pallets strapped to the top of minivans and in the back of pick up trucks.

I was so excited to learn about Pambra's Bra Liners. I am, ah hem, well endowed, and have worn a bra forever. Well - since I was about 11. I was a teen when I started wearing under-wires, and I've never been able to switch back. I love the support that I get from my under-wires (not to mention the extra va-va-voom for the girls - the higher they are, the more attention is drawn away from post-6 pregnancies belly!)
But first - be sure to stop by tomorrow for a review and giveaway!
A while back, in an effort to simplify, I gave away all my wrapping paper. You would think this has made me less creative, but in reality - I like my gift-wrapping much better now!
I kept 3 rolls: brown kraft paper, red zebra and black and white houndstooth. I've really enjoyed making those wraps stretch over so many occasions! Here are a few picks from my Pinterest inspiration board:
In my opinion, we have to guard our marriage from outside influence much the way we guard our children: We are careful about who they interact with, never leave them unattended and always affirm and care for them. We don't do this to control them, but to protect them.
First, make sure that you appreciate him for what he does do, even if it's "his job". When he takes out the trash, say thank you (even if it's the third time you've reminded him) Don't nag. You can remind him, but do it in a loving way (i.e. Honey, tomorrow is trash day, would you mind putting the garbage cans out tonight. Next day: Babe, today is trash day, could you please set the trash out for me? Later: Sweetie, did you remember to take the trash out, I know you're busy so I just thought I'd remind you.) | <urn:uuid:2ad6f7d4-bac5-4d7a-b5ce-159dd8fed295> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://noelgiger.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html | 2017-05-23T05:13:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607369.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523045144-20170523065144-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.968152 | 839 |

If you’re going on a long trip then the first thing you need is a motorcycle that’s capable of covering big miles in comfort with luggage on board. That’s the Multistrada 1200S then.
The next thing you need is a decent set of tyres that will grip in the bends but do plenty of motorways miles.
Before a trip to the Jerez round of MotoGP with MCN’s sub editor Mark Holmes taking my Ducati Multistrada 1200S for a feature, we fitted Michelin’s Pilot Road 3 tyres.
They’re sold on their outstanding grip in the wet and are claimed to stop as much as five metres faster in the wet than a Michelin Pilot Road 2.
They were fitted following the tyre’s UK launch at Bedford Autodrome and a few damp patches on the way into work the next day gave me instant confidence in their grip.
The Multistrada 1200S Sport may have traction control but it’s also got more torque than a Ducati 999R and that means when it’s wet you need a decent tyre. The Michelins certainly seem up to that job and are simply incredible when it’s wet.
And in the dry after almost two thousand motorway miles they’ve hardly squared off and look virtually new.
As the miles pile on the Multistrada continues to impress. It is ultra comfortable and the engine continues to stagger me every time I fire it up.
You never go wanting for power and there’s always grunt when you need it, the Multistrada 1200S truly is a staggeringly good bike.
In fact Mark Holmes who rode the bike to Jerez still keeps trying to steal the keys as it blew him away with the way it rode, handled and covered ground so quickly.

IT SEEMS that the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust doesn’t understand the meaning of consultation, at least with respect to the transfer of its Heat to the Home Agreement with residents of phase one of Derwenthorpe.
In August last year, residents received a letter stating that the trust had signed a 25-year lease agreement with Dalkia Utilities Services Plc and that Dalkia would be taking over the operation of the district heating network at Derwenthorpe.
The letter stated that Dalkia would be responsible for installing new boilers and pipework for future homes and providing heat and associated metering and billing services for all residents at Derwenthorpe. It even included a summary of price changes that would take place once Dalkia were operational on site.
It invited residents to attend one of a series of consultation events. In effect, they were not about consulting with residents, as the transfer was a fait accompli. They were about informing residents, a very different matter.
Trust staff agreed this is not consultation yet continued to describe these invitations as consultation and not information. The latest was received earlier this month. Let’s be clear, the transfer will take place on September 1, irrespective of residents’ views.

|12-05-02: Celina income tax credit may
|Councilors also look at lowering taxable age to 16 to raise revenue
By TIMOTHY COX
The Daily Standard
Celina City Council will be asked to consider repealing the local
municipal income tax credit and lowering the taxable age to 16 at Monday's regular council
Celina city officials are looking at the options as a way to put off
having to ask residents for an increase in the city income tax to help pay for strapped
city services and as part of their ongoing review of the city's tax code.
Council's personnel and finance committee made the two recommendations
and a couple of others during a Wednesday evening meeting.
Taking away the credit could mean an additional $400,000 in general
fund revenue, officials said. But it also would mean that residents who live in Celina but
work elsewhere would have to pay local income taxes in both towns. Most cities generally
grant a credit that waives local taxes if income taxes were paid to another political
Greenville is the only city in the area that has gotten rid of the
credit. A few other towns, such as Rockford and Delphos, have lowered the credit so local
residents still must pay a portion of their local tax burden, even if they work in another
Council member Collin Bryan said repealing the credit is something many
cities are looking at doing. He predicted a "domino effect" of towns joining
ranks after a couple lead the way.
"Let's be at the head of the line," Bryan said.
Council member Angie King said dropping the credit amounts to
"double-dipping" by the city.
Others, though, noted that city residents who live here but work
elsewhere now enjoy the benefits of city services but pay no local income taxes to help
Committee members voted to recommend that council amend the update of
the tax code to repeal the tax credit effective April 1, 2003. By delaying the move
through the first three months of the year, it essentially grants new taxpayers a 25
percent credit for the year, council members said.
City officials also talked Wednesday and previously about seeking an
increase in the city's 1 percent tax rate. Some said they believe dropping the credit
would buy the city some time.
Safety-Service Director Mike Sovinski estimated the change might stave
off a tax hike for five years or so.
City officials are poring over the tax code to squeeze every available
dollar out of it to relieve budgetary pressures. They talked about, but made no decisions,
on where any additional revenue should be applied.
The city street department and parks department are the most
cash-strapped, Mayor Paul Arnold and Sovinski said. For example, Sovinski has estimated
the city should spend at least $350,000 annually on streets, but only a fraction of that
amount was spent this year due to limited funding.
"We desperately are looking for every way we can increase revenue
in the city," council member Denny Smith said.
Committee members also agreed to recommend that council lower the
taxable age for city income tax from 18 to 16.
King said she does not agree with taxing minors and said she has
support within the community for her stance. But Bryan noted it now costs the city money
to process tax returns for those under 18 and that children still are subject to state and
In addition to the savings through processing tax returns, the city
might generate $20,000 or so by taxing the younger crowd, officials said.
Council member Sharon LaRue admitted she is "on the fence" on
the issue but went along with committee members in a unanimous vote to send the issue to
the full council.
Committee members also recommended council act on a couple of other
changes to the tax code. One is simply a wording change regarding corporations that does
not affect taxability of any entity. The other expands existing tax laws to allow the city
to go after management and fiscal agents of companies that fail to turn over tax
collections withheld from employees to the city.
Auditor Pat Smith said the changes might not ever result in the city
collecting more tax revenue, but said it at least establishes a viable process for the
city to act on.

Write about the importance of Shahnama.
Shahnama is a great historical political work of Firdausi. It is an epic of 50,000 couplets and also a masterpiece of Islamic literature. It took nearly 30 years to complete. Ghazni, became the centre of Persian literary life. The rulers of Ghazni also patronised art and learning for enhancing their prestige. Shahnama is a collection of traditions and legends which depicts Iran from creation up until the Arab conquest. According to Ghaznavi tradition, Persian later became the language of administration and culture in India.
How did Caliphate break up in the Arab Empire? Explain.
From 9th century, the Abbasids state became weaker due to decline of Baghdad’s control over distant provinces and continuous struggle between pro-Arab and pro- Iranian groups in the army and bureaucracy.
In 810, a civil war broke out between the supporters of two sons (Amin and Mamum) of the Caliph Harun-al-Rashid. This war created a new power block of Turkish slave officers. For the orthodoxy of power, the Shias started competing with Sunni. As a result of this, many new dynasties like Tahirid, Saminids and Tuluminds came into being.
As a result of this, the Abbasid power got limited to the areas of central Iraq and western Iran. The Buyids captured Baghdad in 945 CE, which ended Abbasid supremacy.
Describe the distribution of agricultural land in the conquered territories by the Arabs from the aspect of ownership.
The Arabs mainly practiced agriculture in the territories conquered by them. The Islamic states did not make any changes in it. Both small as well as the large land¬owners were the owners of the land. In some cases the land was also owned by the state.
In Iran, the land was divided into very larger units, cultivated by peasants. Estate owners were given the responsibility of land revenue collection on behalf of the state during the Sassanian and Islamic periods. Land was a common property. In villages, people practiced both nomadic and settled agriculture. After Islamic conquests some changes began to take place. Big estate acquired by the state began to abandon by their land owners. Now they were handed over to the Muslim elites, especially to those who were the members of Caliph’s family.
What was the center of Abbasid uprising? Why did it take place? Give reasons.
Write any four arguments to support the concept of Abbasid Revolution.
The Umayyad dynasty was brought down by a well-organised movement called ‘Dawa’. It was then replaced by Abbasids in 750. The main center of their uprising was the distant region of Khurasan.
- Mobilisation of the mixed Iranian population for various reasons.
- The Umayyad projected themselves rested on force and loyalty of Syrian troops which resented the Arab soldiers.
- The Arab civilians disliked the Umayyad regime for failure to unfulfill their promises.
- Umayyad regime was portrayed as an evil by the Abbasids.
What were the reasons for the break up of the Caliphate and rise of the concept of Sultanate?
Elaborate a few causes for the break up of Caliphate and the rise of the concept of Sultanate.
The downfall of the Abbasid dynasty paved the way for the rise of the concept of Sultanate. The causes mainly responsible were:
- The successors of almamun were very weak and incapable.
- They paid no heed towards the administrative affairs. Under such circumstances the downfall of the Caliphate was sure.
- The Caliph paid no attention towards their army.
- They were leading a life full of luxury and paid no attention towards the problems of common people.

What do you know about the main teachings of Islam?
Main teachings of Islam:
- Idol-worship is a curse, according to Islam.
- God, i.e. Allah is almighty. He is all wise and merciful.
- Islam believes in life after death, in hell or in heaven. The sinner will go to the hell and face many hardships. The religious and honest people will go to the heaven. They will be served by beautiful damsels.
- The Quran is the divine book of Islam. The sayings of Prophet Muhammad are regarded as God.
- All are equal. No one is superior or inferior. Islam preached the principle of equality and brotherhood.
- There is no restriction on keeping slaves in Islam, but Muhammad asked his followers to treat them kindly.
Write your argument to justify the following statement:
“Prophet Muhammad laid down the foundation of a new political structure.”
Prophet Muhammad laid down the foundation of a new political structure as:
- He replaced the tribal organisation with a state. The state was encompassed with a number of tribes.
- Umma constituted the armed forces.
- He was a religious leader as well as a law-giver.
- His followers (The Umma) were converted into a wide community to include polytheists and Jews of Madina.
- The conquest of Mecca established him both as a religious as well as political leader.
- He maintained the independence of the state by fixing the booty to l/15th (which directly went to him).
- Tax like ‘Zakat’ was imposed on tribes who had accepted Muhammad’s leadership. All Muslim tribes had to pay it.
- With his efforts and influence, he was able to convert many Bedouins into Islam. In a short span of time, he was able to unite a large part of peninsula.
“Throughout the history of human beings their interest in religion often went hand in hand”. Justify the statement by giving examples.
- From the very beginning, evidence has been traced out that Indian traders traveled to the different countries of South East Asia for trade in gold, tin, spices, etc. While travelling and trading to these nations they also took with them the ideas and practices of the religion. The ideology of Buddhism and Hinduism became the part and parcel of their culture. These two religions were adopted by the people of Jawa, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, etc.
- The Arab traders in the medieval period established their trade relations with India and many other countries of Europe and Asia. They carried with them the ideas of newly founded religion, i.e. Islam. Due to its simplicity in principle, Islam was adopted by many Indians and in the same way it spread into Spain, Syria, Iran and Iraq.
- The traders of the western countries, i.e. the traders of England, Holland, France, etc. spread their trading relations in many countries. They brought with them the ideas of Christianity. While trading, they also spread Christianity into different countries. Today this religion is adopted by the people of different countries of Asia and Africa.Keeping the above examples in mind, we can conclude that throughout the history human being’s interest in religion went hand in hand.
Discuss the main sources of income of the state in detail.
What do you know about agriculture of the Central Islamic lands?
Agricultural was the main occupation of the settled population, since long. It also remained a major occupation in newly acquired territories. The bulk of income of the state was derived from the agricultural land.
Land was owned by the small and big farmers and in some cases by the state. After Islamic conquests, big estates were abandoned and acquired by the state. Later on these states were handed over to Muslim elites. The chief among them were the members of Khalifa’s (Caliph’s) army.
The land conquered by the Arabs, which remained in the hands of the owners were subjected to a tax, called Kharaj, varied from 1/2 to 1/5th of the produce. While the land cultivated by the Muslims were levied 1/10th of tax, known as ushr as land
revenue. When non-Muslims started converting to Islam, the land revenue income fell dramatically. To meet the shortfall, the Caliphs decided to discourage the conversions and later adopted a uniform land revenue policy.
After 10th century, the state authorised its officials to claim salaries from the agricultural territories called Iqtas (The person who held the Iqtas came to be known as Iqtadars). Agricultural prosperity and political stability went hand-in-hand. To ensure agricultural prosperity it took several measures such as canals were constructed, dams were built, the digging of wells, etc. were done. Tax concessions were granted to those people who brought land under cultivation. By the initiatives of peasants and state support the agriculture began to increase. Many new crops such as cotton, oranges, bananas, watermelon, spinach and brinjal began to grow and even exported to Europe.
Class 11 History Chapter 3 Passage Based Questions
Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow:
The Hijri era was established during the caliphate of Umar, with the first year falling in 622 CE. A date in the Hijri calendar is followed by the letters AH.
The Hijri year is a lunar year of 354 days, 12 months (Muharram to Dhul Hijja) of 29 or 30 days. Each day begins at sunset and each month with the sighting of the crescent moon. The Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year. Therefore, none of the Islamic religious festivals, including the Ramazan fast, Id and hajj, corresponds in any way to seasons. There is no easy way to match the dates in the Hijri calendar with the dates in the Gregorian calendar (established by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 CE). One can calculate the rough equivalents between the Islamic (H) and Gregorian Christian (C) years with the following formulae:
(H × 32 / 33) + 622 = C
(C – 622) x 33 / 32 = H
(i) When was Hijri era established?
(ii) What do you know about Hijri year?

The Ideal Student:
Abd al-Latif, a twelfth-century legal and medical scholar of Baghdad, talks to his ideal student:
‘I commend you not to learn your sciences from books unaided, even though you may trust your ability to understand. Resort to teachers for each science you seek to acquire; and should your teacher be limited in his knowledge take all that he can offer, until you find another more accomplished than he. You must venerate and respect him. When you read a book, make every effort to learn it by heart and master its meaning. Imagine the book to have disappeared and that you can dispense with it, unaffected by its loss. One should read histories, study biographies and the experiences of nations. By doing this, it will be as though, in his short life space, he lived contemporaneously with peoples of the past, was on intimate terms with them, and knew the good and bad among them. You should model your conduct on that of the early Muslims. Therefore, read the biography of the Prophet and follow in his footsteps. You should frequently distrust your nature, rather than have a good opinion of it, submitting your thoughts to men of learning and their works, proceeding with caution and avoiding haste. He who has not endured the stress of study will not taste the joy of knowledge. When you have finished your study and reflection, occupy your tongue with the mention of God’s name, and sing His praises. Do not complain if the world turns its back on you. Know that learning leaves a trail and a scent proclaiming its possessor; a ray of light and brightness shining on him, pointing him out.
– Ahmad ibn al Qasim ibn Abi Usaybia, Uyun al Anba.
(i) What do you know about Abd-al-Latif?
(ii) Why should books be learnt by heart?
(iii) Discuss the importance of teacher in the life of an ideal student.
(i) Abd-al-Latif was a legal and medical scholar of 12th century.
(ii) Books should be learnt by heart. If the books are lost, one should remain unaffected by this loss.
(iii) A teacher is like a torch-bearer. He plays a significant role in the life of an ideal student.

Opinion: “Crackdown On Religious Minorities, In China, Across Party Lines, Xi Jinping Exerts More Pressure”
Reinforcing the belief that China has no religion as a state, and atheism is the way forward, Jinping’s government has strongly objected to party officials found practicing ‘feng shui’, a traditional practice that finds its origin from ancient China, that harnesses energy to synchronize believers with their surrounding environment.
Supremacy of socialist thought in China has taken a dangerous turn for those seeking to peacefully practice their religion within the country borders. Xi Jinping’s administration has waged a severe crackdown on CCP party members who are found professing feng shui or anything in connection to religion and spirituality.
China interestingly connotates all such ‘”superstitious” activities to be “corruption”. Accusing such delinquent CCP members of ‘corruption’, the CCDI (Central Commission for Discipline Inspection) denounces such members and eventually expels them. For the party, anything that endangers the party speak Marxist thought is sacrilege and instant grounds of expulsion. Such “corruption” expands to expressing not just religious thought, but dissenting opinions against the party as well.
One such former member of the CCP was expelled solely on grounds of using feng shui to rearrange his ancestral grave, office and residence, along with participating in feng shui classes. The CCDI has stepped up efforts towards catching CCP members seeking advice from feng shui masters to solve a range of personal problems such as issues at workplace, health issues, etc. The CCDI strongly advocates that party members restrict themselves to the teachings of Marxism-Leninism, and not seek counsel by means of “superstitious” beliefs.
Although China officially guarantees the freedom to profess major religions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, CCP members are held to a higher standard of restricting themselves to atheism only. They are banned from participating alleged “superstitious activities”.
In the past few years, officials have been increasingly taken down for professing in what China calls “feudalistic superstitious activities”. Any practice that poses a threat from adherence to socialist thought and by extension the big brother, is a sure ground for admonition from the party. Mao Zedong’s style of crackdown on practices of fortune telling and superstition has made a comeback in Jinping’s China since he assumed power in 2012.
To arrest any threat to the party’s ideology, in 2015 the party introduced a term “sinicization” into the official glossary of the government, that calls upon religious leaders of various faith to merge their religions with Chinese socialist thought. For the CCP, any mention of the word religion is taboo and the CCDI prioritizes on cracking down on such organizations that further spread religious beliefs influencing party members.
However the crackdown has not been restricted to just party members. China has increased persecution of Uighur Muslims, and has been targeting Tibetan Buddhists, Jews, Christians and all those who follow local folk religions of China.
Religious thought and practice directly threatens the communist hegemony in China. Despite severe crackdowns, religiosity is rising in China. As per studies, more than 50% of Chinese nationals are affiliated to some religion. Portions of this religious explosion has seemingly seeped into party quarters, and CCDI is losing patience. And unfortunately in China whenever an activity is characterized as “feudal superstition”, the crackdown extends beyond CCP party members. | <urn:uuid:b40eab4c-8478-43c7-b2e9-07a15546c74d> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://stagingdev.dailyclout.io/opinion-crackdown-on-religious-extremism-across-party-lines-xi-jinping-exerts-more-pressure/ | 2023-06-09T14:42:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224656737.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230609132648-20230609162648-00383.warc.gz | en | 0.956237 | 749 |

Yuh-Jung Youn as Soonja in Minari
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role 2021
SEX WORKER ROLE
So-young in The Bacchus Lady 2016
Character Is A Prostitute
Bacchus Ladies are women in their 50s, 60s, and some even their 80s, who solicit men in Seoul’s parks and plazas for sex in nearby motels for about $30.00, or even less if the man is a regular client.
The Bacchus Ladies phenomenon is believed to have originated after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, with South Korea being one of the countries most affected by the financial contagion. In South Korea’s traditionally Confucian society, elderly parents were highly respected and in their old age could have relied on their children for care regardless of the economic situation.
In the film “The Bacchus Lady” Yuh-Jung Youn plays So-young – 65-year-old so-called ‘Bacchus lady’ who sells her body to old men for a living. Bacchus is a famous energy drink loved by Korean for 60 years. One day her customer SONG, suffering from a stroke, desperately asks her to end his life. So-young hesitates but finally helps him.
This leads So-young to get deeply involved in suicide assistance for those who have no will to live and she falls into confusion.
Yuh-Jung Youn would win the Asia Pacific Screen Awards 2016 Jury Grand Prize for her work in this film.

Dear Ms. Tanzi,
I am pleased to inform you that Real Equality and Progress for Rhode Island is happy to endorse your campaign for the state legislature. Within the next few days, you will receive a $500 PAC contribution.
It is clear from your candidate questionnaire that, like REP|PAC, you envision a state in which government prioritizes and legislators advocate for democratic values, where women are as likely and able as men to seek and gain elected office, and in which all Rhode Islanders actively engage in the political process.
Moreover, you clearly support ending discrimination and promoting equality, justice, and civil rights for all Americans; expanding access to affordable, high quality health care, education, and jobs; and supporting individuals' rights to make personal, private decisions in their daily lives.
Thus, I am thrilled to offer this endorsement and financial support for your race. Please let me know if there is any other way in which I can be helpful as Election Day approaches.
