But the United States has already appealed that ruling and it may end up going to the supreme. Court. So data extension is far from certain and counting could come to an end as soon as thirtieth. So we have to go by what we know. That we have until September thirtieth for anyone who has not completed the census to fill out there for the census was initially planned through. October thirty first. But in August the trump administration shorten the time setting a new deadline in September Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez in a statement praise the ruling and said, the pandemic has been a setback creating many challenges to get people counted especially in rural areas.

"But the specific a you mentioned there that eighty eight percent of our population has at least some indicator of metabolic health or unhealth. Is just a striking statistic quoted from a paper that's referenced in the book, and it has to do with one of the five criteria for metabolic syndrome, which are each the cholesterol triglycerides blood pressure, waist circumference if tracer conference. Abdominal obesity these type of things as indicators of metabolic health. Now, if you even take a step back from statistic. You mentioned that rates of chronic disease were psychiatric illness rising and I said they're skyrocketing and there's a real story to be told here if you look at the rates of diabetes in this country just since the nineteen sixties they've gone from ten twelve percent to I believe thirty to forty percent.

Than I don't know what is because that is a statistic that is not able to be easily ignored in any way shape or form. You have seventy percent seven zero percent of your population that is obese overweight with rates of diabetes that are skyrocketing with rates of chronic disease that are absolutely skyrocketing something has gone wildly wrong. If people believe that we are living better lives today, I have a sobering reality to share with them. In Two thousand twenty. The rate of chronic disease in our population is sixty percent. And that's according to CDC statistics sixty percent, and so you could look at that number and you think, okay, there is something that we need to figure out what is going on here. So forty two percent are obese, and then if you add overweight it goes up to seventy percent. Misquoted on diabetes.

Market Update with Alex Saunders, Nuggets News
"We just recently had bitcoin cross twelve, thousand dollars it ran up you know to to grand over the course of a weekend pretty much. While big money was asleep in, you know out on their yachts. And then it came crashing back fourteen hundred dollars in five minutes who's responsible for these kinds of moves behind the scenes you've been around forever. Can you give us any kind of insight into why bitcoin can be you know more exciting than ever pay pals on board US banks have been cleared to get on board why would there be a fourteen hundred dollar price crash in five minutes? So. As you say up in which the charts like daily, since two, thousand, twelve and. Becomes always been volatile because it it's hard to like get specific value and it's always despite some sentiment narratives. But now we've got these hundred x leverage which dominates trading in markets in volume and a lot of other things are getting their prospect. David from from mix in the lock. So I really try to particularly begin did not even look at that price m a lot of people always say that and not to worry about it but honestly that number on the screen now that we're getting from these hundred exchanges is just not relative. So if you arrive with negotiating OTC you, as you say, we'd probably be negotiating around eleven thousand dollars somewhere in the middle, but we're not wired about the day-to-day process if I'm going to buy million dollars of becoming a few on the weekend and it feels funny. Way Not rookie out Monday in on paying twenty percent less negotiating on seven I average price or something like that and that's why people really need to think about it because these big wild and try it is that you know the K levels that everybody's watching they know everyone stops even some of the exchanges that had against their own customers or whatever. So they can push the crossed this level of volume in liquidities inner on weekends where we've seen a lot of this stuff. You low time it gets pushed up on the weekend, and then he gets sort of smashed back down by Monday morning and it's just these guys. They can push markets around. So Tokyo don't worry about it too much. Yeah outlets, good advice and I think these derivatives exchanges is probably the biggest difference between this bull run and the last one. In fact, the very end of the two thousand seventeen bull run is when bitcoin was launched on Sami futures and bit. Mex- came to live like the literally the day of that was the top of the market. So with these with the huge money being able to make profit in both directions and manipulate things almost in three. D.. As opposed to two D now is holding dead or is that still going to be a profitable strategy for people that are just trying to get into crypto? Absolutely holding is still the most profitable strategy in Atto Ole as I really think you should just be dollar cost averaging into to join the May I'm a huge belaboring Theorem as well, but I guess that's up to you whatever ye locked. But over time these markets growing to an enormous market cap and when you zoom out, it's almost slightly SOCK on as low shots that we look at because of the exponential growth and people just. Tied down in the Diet a diet. All should aboard here or crippled he. Never, GonNa beat the bottom never gonna peak the top and you're getting get shaken outy few wiles. Enjoy the ride, use it to your advantage. You know set some low beads exchange, review the computer. When we have these thousand crash, you know just by a little bit extra from adult cost averaging stack because over time the wires cannot manipulate the process. It's it's going up into the rot as long as we continue to grow, which is going to grow into the trillions of dollars among cap for Bitcoin for these other leading particles. So use that. To your advantage Derby August football, even nowadays fustrating. one-sided caught a thought that we've got to leverage bitcoin people. I'm going to speculate outside D two, thousand, seventeen. That's something that was seeking is GonNa play out but then we saw excited like FDA at high leverage on these outs. So it was like a guy will allow people to. Try to outs on one hundred times leverage will I guess of course, the gravy and you might afford you in Allah and that sort of Chinese and now it's like twenty seventeen on steroids I think he's really going on honestly think that we're about to say all the robinhood tried his diabetes detritus. Most. Countries than we sold, the nasdaq-listed Company mockery strategy put money to bitcoin notes. It's to be I and now wants to be lost. We've seen that now with legendary invest poultry to giants I think we're GONNA say we'd State actors like governments or Central Bank somebody's going to be first and then that he's GonNa, stop the peaceful run lost
Helsinki Airport Uses Dogs to Sniff Out Coronavirus
"Some dogs can detect a diabetes episode seizures and even some kinds of cancer. Well, now Finland has launched a large scale trials of a new airport detecting system to spot Cove it in travelers. Using man's and woman's best friend, their natures detectors of invisible threats. Sniffer dogs have already been trained to spot different cancers and other disorders as well as bombs, of course, and now they've been drafted to detect Corona virus. The dogs can deliver results in 10 seconds, taking less than one minute of a traveler's time unless he or she tests positive, of course. And then it's quarantine for them.

Coronavirus: US passes grim milestone of 200,000 deaths
"The United States today reached a staggering unwanted milestone. 200,000 American lives lost to cope in 19 to break that down in another way that's like having the entire populations of Bellevue and Lacey Washington wiped off the map in the past seven months. ABC is Mark Hamill are joining us on the camo news line. With more on today's grim numbers. Mark, How did we get here? Well, there's a number of factors that has led the U. S. 200,000 dead. But I think many health experts would really point to three major causes that has led us to a country with 5% of the world's population. Tohave 21% of the world confirmed death from Kobe 19 and one of those things inadequate access to healthcare there 30 million uninsured people in this country. And that has particularly as we know Kobe 19 has disproportionately affected my minority communities, low income communities, and so that's largely or likely part of an axis. Inadequate access to healthcare Co morbidity, the CDC says. Six in 10, Americans have a chronic health condition. While we know the covert 19 is particularly worrisome if you have a chronic health condition, like diabetes or something else like that on Europe, more more of a risk of developing a severe complications. And then the final thing is America's. Inability to respond appropriately to be outbreak going back all the way to January and step you area, Trump said. The US back in February was the most prepared country in the world, and we were the US topped a number of lives in terms of preparedness for an outbreak in terms of our state of the art labs, heir stockpile our disease tracers, things like that. But we were caught off guard. No doubt by the fact that this spread with a symptomatically there were cases of people We didn't even know they were getting it from there. The slow adoption of lock down orders Airport tracing things like that screening testing being still inadequate even today, compared to what Admiral Brett, your law has said he wanted to see 50 million tests done a month by September will last month. We only did 24 million. So only halfway there, so there's a lot of factors and then I think one of the other one that continues to get mentioned mixed messaging from the White House and the CDC, particularly early on, they said. People don't need to wear that. Well, then they had to change that later that people should, and so I think that's all helped contribute to the fact that them and help get us to the fact that we have now
Why Dr. Kumar is Changing The Wellness Game
"Welcome back once again, see the outcomes, rocket podcasts where we chat with today's most successful and inspiring health care leaders. I really WANNA. Thank you for tuning in again and I welcome you to go to outcomes rocket dot health slash reviews where you could rate and review today's podcast because he is one outstanding individual and healthcare is name is Dr Rajiv Kumar he's the president and chief medical officer at Virgin Pulse during medical school he realized that many of the worst health problems we face as a nation diabetes heart disease cancer hypertension. Et, CETERA. I related to the collective unhealthy lifestyle, and so he has pledged to make a difference in this industry. He's done and as a frontline physician and now through various different companies, some amazing things and so what I WANNA do is open up the microphone to Raji to fill in any of the gaps of the introduction and then a so we could get into the podcast. Reggie welcome to the PODCAST. Think saw glad to be here. So Rajiv, what would you fill in in your intro that I that I left out? I think that was pretty comprehensive. Just, a little bit about virgin pulse. You know what? I think that may not be familiar name to a lot of folks on your that are listening to your podcast. We are an employee wellbeing company. We work with large employers all around the world, and our goal is to help them activate their employees to lead healthier lifestyles which had to kind of go around the healthcare system a little bit, and go direct to the employees and figure out ways to motivate them to inspire them and to help them sustain behavior change over time, and it's not just about healthcare cost reduction. It really is about how do we help people be? Healthier, happier and more productive at work in their personal lives. So that's really what our mission is. That's beautiful and listeners for those of you who haven't connected the DOTS virgin pulse. One of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group companies. So you know with the gentleman like that behind something like this and and Rajiv as part of the executive leadership team, you can imagine some great things are happening. It's an exciting time for us. We definitely are inspired by Sir Richard Branson leadership in his philosophy is if you take care of your employees, they'll take care of your business, and so we're trying to empower employers to take better care of their employees. So strong, and and you know it's really interesting that you guys are tackling this employer perspective of the entire health career equation because costs are soaring and aside from labor costs, it seems like healthcare cost is oftentimes double digits in that front. What are your thoughts on what should be on every medical leaders agenda today? Well, I'm biased but I think it has to be a behavior change remember too often looking for a magic pill or magic device or something to kind of stem the tide of rising obesity, diabetes and heart disease in our country and at the end of the day, there's so much. We can do to actually change people's behavior a lot of what we're facing as a result of our diet, our physical activity or lack thereof the stress that we have in our lives just how we how we treat ourselves and how we don't take care of ourselves, and so I think it's not necessarily a hot topic I. Think it should be and and I wish there was more focus on it is the perennial that if we can change behavior, we can prevent a lot of disease and we can produce significantly greater outcomes and Reggie. What would you say right now at at at Virgin? Pulse. Is an example of how you guys are improving health outcomes. Well, I think we really tried to think outside of the box I think traditional health interventions and and health and wellbeing platforms have largely been ineffective and they've been around for decades. So we sat around and we said what if we took a different approach rather than making people feel like they're failures rather than telling them that they're sick what if we actually make them feel successful what if we make them feel good about themselves right off the bat what would that do for self esteem for their motivation and for their ability to change. Most of what we see in our industry is a heavy focus on screening, and so employers asked their employees to take health risk assessments and do biometric screenings and so forth, and the problem with that is they take a health risk assessment tells them you're sick. You know you have high risk, your unhealthy needs to do more change your lifestyle, get your biometric screening results and you have high blood pressure. You may not like the results that you get back and that can be very demotivating, and so we've said is, is there a scientist out there? Is there a behavior change model that focuses on success? We found a scientist by the name of Dr Bj fog out of Stanford University and Dr Fog is sort of a new guru of behavior change and he's come up with a behavior change model that he caused the fog behavior change model and it's very simple as model is is a formula to it is called B. Equals M. A. T.. Equals motivation times, ability times a trigger, and so what he means by that is to get somebody to do a behavior that we want them to do or they want to do. First of all, they have to have the motivation to do it. Second is they have to have the ability to do it, and a third is you have to trigger them. To trump to do that behavior and too often in the in the kind of behavior change space, we ask people to do things that require either too much motivation or too much ability. So we say something like go to the gym four times a week and exercise for sixty minutes. Each time you go that takes a lot of motivation and some people may not even have the ability a really know how to do that where to get started so forth so Dr Fog says, well, motivation is hard to change. Your motivation waxes and wanes on a daily basis on an hourly basis, we can't really change somebody's motivation that easily what you can do is changed the behavior you're asking them to do to make it easier. You can change the ability to perform the action, and so the idea is if you take a behavior like washing your teeth and you break it down to the smallest tiniest thing that somebody could possibly do like floss one tooth and you ask them to do that they can actually do. That very easily, it doesn't take a lot of motivation is very quick to do, and if they do that and you celebrate the fact that they did it, you can help them build what we call success momentum, and then they're going to feel better about going to the next step and try something harder and so in our entire approach to behavior change, we break behaviors down into their simplest most basic action we ask people to do that would trigger then and then when they do it we. Reward them make them successful. We give them social status. They might get some kind of points or some kind of reward, and then we ask them to do something harder the next time around and stuff feedback loop that builds up momentum, and it changes behavior in a very sustainable way in a very habitual way, which is really the key to behavior changes creating habits.
Dr. Richard A. Van Etten: Cancer
"Please welcome to the show Dr Rick van how you doing. Thank you very much Andrew and Brittany I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be able to come and talk to your talk your listeners today. Yeah. Well, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us. So we're GONNA be talking about obviously cancer and how you can prevent cancer do your best to prevent it. But as I mentioned in the Intro, most likely someone knows someone who's had cancer or they've had cancer themselves even it's pretty it seems like it's touches a lot of people but can you kind of tell me how many people does cancer impact on a yearly basis? Well. Thank you for the question Andrew. The lifetime risk of getting cancer is approaching thirty eight or thirty, nine percent. So more than one in three Americans will get cancer during their lifetime. So that explains what you said that basically almost everybody is either been personally. Involved with cancer knows a close family member or a loved one that's been stricken by cancer. So some of the statistics nationwide in the United States, there's about one point seven million people diagnosed each year with cancer. And they'll be about unfortunately six hundred thousand Americans will die every year of cancer. Here in Orange County it's interesting that cancer has overtaken cart diseases, the number one killer, and as soon gonNA happen nationwide. So a very very. Prevalent disease what kind of has led to what's led to that trajectory? Why is that happening? Well, actually the the the death rate from cancer has been falling and it's been falling significantly over the past fifteen or twenty years, which is a success basically for the research that's gone into it through the National Cancer Institute and other mechanisms. But the fact that cancer is now the number one killer has actually also reflected progress in cardiovascular disease. So doing which used to be the number one killer. So we're doing a better job at preventing. Heart disease through the things that you know about treatment of the risk factors like high lipids, blood pressure, diabetes et CETERA. Right? Interesting. Okay. All right. So we got some work to do on the cancer and Kinda catch up. And, that generally, like I mentioned usually happens through education funding, which we'll talk about in a little bit What types of cancers are the most prevalent today? I know that you specialize are a believe in like blood cancers by what are the most prevalent that people run into so we can talk both about incidents, which is the new diagnosis that we have each year and prevalence, which is the number of people living with the disease at any given time. But the top four in both categories are pretty similar. So there's breast cancer which obviously predominantly affects women but also can affect men. Then there's lung cancer there's prostate cancer which obviously is a male cancer and the last one is colorectal cancer. Those are the big four. Close on their heels are diseases like skin cancer and melanoma that's particularly relevant for Orange County where we have two hundred and eight, hundred, ninety days per year rate. And after that come some blood cancers that I specialize in, which is mainly things like leukemia lymphoma and Myeloma Okay. What kind of leads to these types of cancers occurring out of those top four that you mentioned, what? What's the biggest contributor to people getting? Is it? Is it just genetics you got bad genes or something in your lifestyle or in your the world around you I guess causing it. So they're. Probably, equal contributions both from genetics and from lifestyle. Okay. When I say genetics I mean the cancer is principally in the opinion of a lot of primarily a genetic disease in the cancer cells have acquired mutations that contribute to their malignant or cancerous phenotype, their ability to grow and attack the body. Most of those mutations are acquired in other words they happened just within the cancer cell and they're not inherited. So you don't get them from your mother or your father. Now there are exceptions there are well defined cancer susceptibility syndromes the most the one that may be most familiar to your listeners is the bracket jeans Brca which segregating families particularly people, of Ashkenazi, Jewish descent that are inherited either from your mother or your father, and greatly increase your risk for developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer so that the risk for women who doesn't ever bracken gene mutation is about one about eleven percent or one in nine during your lifetime. If you inherit one of these genes, it's virtually almost everybody will get breast cancer ninety percent risk over your lifetime. So, this cancer susceptibility syndromes are very important the need. For instance when there's a new cancer diagnosis, you need to take a careful family history and in some cases be referred to a genetic counselor to determine whether testing family members is indicated. Yeah. Well, that's interesting that you bring that up because my wife actually we went through that process, and so she was found her mother had breast cancer and through that process they found out, she had the bracket gene Brac to and then and so my wife decided because they kind of give you choice like do you want to get screened? Do you not like you kind of have? Do you want to know more or or like not and stay naive to it I guess and so what I've discovered, we went through it and is interesting out of the split my wife got it and her sister didn't so the fifty, fifty there and. It. Seems like. It's I think my opinion is it's good to know because now they're just more aggressively screening her and is that typically the case when you find out about something like that, you're more your screened even more regularly than the average person should be. That's right. A change basically changes the surveillance. In it not to make it more complicated. But there are some genes like the broncos where the penetrates which means that the chance of actually getting breast cancer. If you have the have, the mutation is very high I think there it's pretty straightforward to decide whether to get screened. Right. There are other mutations that can be inherited that don't increase the risk that much increase it above the background, but it's not nearly as high and there it's more complicated to try to decide what to do about that. But. My advice to your listeners is to seek the advice of a NCI cancer center in a a qualified genetic counselor. Those are the people best qualified to help guide you through that decision making process right? Right. When you're going through like you said they ramp up the screening process if you had the genetic mutation but how does how did we get to discovering these genetic mutations I? It sounds like you kind of have somewhat of a background like you discovered or help discover this protein that was causing leukemia right and. How does that process even work? How do we make these discoveries? How do you make these? Discovery I was involved in is one of these acquired mutations not inherited, but it came about from studies done many many years ago actually nineteen sixty that showed that patients with this particular type of leukemia had an abnormal chromosome in their blood cells. And when to make a very long story short when that was tracked down, it was shown that the chromosome was actually an a Barrett. That was acquired in these cancer cells that lead to the expression of this abnormal protein. And that protein. Hasn't is an enzyme which means that it has a ability to catalyze chemical reactions. Okay and that particular reaction stimulated the growth of those blood cancer cells. So. That led a drug company, which is today is no artis to develop us a drug a small molecule inhibited the action of that protein. And that That drug which has the trade name GLIVEC revolutionized the treatment of that leukemia so that in the past everybody died of this leukemia, unless you had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. Today everybody takes a drug likely. And most people go into remission and when they do, they have normal age adjusted life expectancy. That's example would that's Therapy likely that can do to cancer right? So does this all come from these discoveries? Does it come from just? Tons of data over decades like this one you're saying, it came from research started in the sixties and this didn't have until the early nineties. Is that right or wealth the the The structure of the protein was discovered. I'm saying Circa Nineteen, eighty-four which I got involved. The drug development efforts took place shortly thereafter I'm and the was FDA approved in two thousand one. So it's been on the market now for almost nineteen years I and there are many many other efforts in other cancers that are parallel parallel that. The thing that's happened today is because of our new technology and the genomics and the ability to determine, for instance, the genome sequence very quickly that's accelerated the progress that we can make. So what took forty years from sixty two to the drug being approved now can be done in a couple of years. Wow. Everything's happening much much faster. That's awesome. That's great news for those of US living right now.

One percent of school employees may be at an increased risk for covid nineteen because of underlying conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and age low-skilled support staff face the highest risk
The coronavirus has sparked a boom in digital health
"I wanNA talk about something that in the midst. Of the misery and the death count's with corona virus in every bad situation. There's always good that emerges at the same time. In an example of that is how the? Health Insurance, industry, and the medical industries have both been. Extremely, hostile through the years to using modern technology such as electric visits telehealth, whatever you WANNA, call it virtual visits. And Corona virus changed all that a raw economics that were affecting the medical industry forced in industry that is always reluctant to change I mean think about. I got a question for you where else in your life name anywhere else in your life ever. That you walk in and you fill out pieces of paper. Seriously like it's nineteen, sixty five. We've got all these electronics today and you fill out paper. At hospitals and doctors offices, you must be kidding me that's how antiquated and backwards medicine is practiced. Okay. Enough about them. But Anyway Corona. Virus. Devastated the revenue models. Of the medical. Industry. People's visits to doctors collapsed. Huge number of people. To great detriment of their own health and potentially life we're not going for things even like their heart care. Or cancer care or chronic illnesses like diabetes not going for their visits they were worried they're going to walk into a doctor's office and they were gonNA come out. With Corona virus and not survive. So medicine finally was like, Hey, maybe that electronic stuff that would work maybe we could try that. Give you an example Humana. According to the Kinsey Business Journal. Nationally has already had a million telehealth visits. Averaging, thirty three thousand visits a day. Just Corona virus. Bay were having virtually zero. Gone from virtually the road a thirty three thousand day. Because doctors wanted their money. But the crazy thing is. It actually dramatically improves. Patients health apparently. because. Big percent of people. Just don't get around going to the doctor even if they have one. And with Corona virus, people just weren't going at all. So, in terms of WHO has a doctor? Anyway a primary care doctor. Only somewhere around sixty percent or so a people even have one. and. Then of those that do. If they try to schedule an appointment, usually, it's really really hard to get one. We'll telemedicine the appointments tend to be shorter they tend to be more focused. And they can eliminate problems that would happen otherwise. But what's even more important? Is. It does improve health outcomes apparently according to the American Academy of Family Physicians Research Save. Done. But. The bigger thing is by having those virtual visits. It creates a relationship. Between doctor patient that right now, even if somebody has a doctor of record, they don't have. something. Goes undetected. So they can get really sick. Who wouldn't have gotten sick somebody could die who wouldn't have died Or. Could have a chronic condition get much worse. So. This is. One of those times where? Something that disrupted all. Pretty much all our lives. is going to have a long-term positive benefit. And it was all about the money.
Breaking Through as a Challenger Brand in a Dominating Industry with Michael Landa
"Michael say what's up to fire nation and share something interesting about yourself that most people don't know probably feared asked people my office they would not know was trying to think earlier is one thing that they definitely would not know about me and that is that up until about I'd say probably a couple of years ago I could still do a standing backflip in my office. So Yeah. I kinda grew up as a competitive gymnast when I was in high school and then I was non-american swimmer. So I mean swimming was really my main sport. But I competed a lot on the floor exercises in gymnastics as well, which is something people most people don't know about me. I've just always had this feeling that if I ever tried a standing backflip immediately tear my MC l. that's just a thought that I I don't know why I had that thought that's why I said for years ago try. Not Going to happen. So fire nation as I shared the talking all about teaching an old dog new tricks and my guest today has launched a company called New Loewe, which is a combination of the words nutrition and love. So that Super Cool New Loewe and why Michael I mean, you went to business school why did you decide to start a pet food company before the PETRIE company? Kind of the Genesis of the Food Company was a company I started? Before new I, I'd spent the early part of my corporate career working for big companies. I used to work for is your oxen in General Electric, and then most recently with universal studios in. Two thousand one that I was in L. A. and I was taking a quick break and. I found I. Don't know how many of you have been through the experience of trying to find a pet sitter for your pet. I went through an experience, sperry the detail, but basically led me to leave universal and start what became the nation's largest at home pet sitting dog-walking training business. Is based in Los Angeles and we. I spent about a decade running that company and was it was in and of itself was a really cool business about one, hundred, eighty five. Pet Sitters dog walkers doing roughly eleven thousand a month all over Greater La, and you know the significance of that was I was you know we're on the front lines of feeding a large population of dogs and cats whether parents were traveling and over the course of the decade I really started to see a huge demand for pet sitters who could administer at home insulin shots, and this is for diabetic dogs and cats, and we eventually it started to stress the business where I couldn't hire that tax and and trained my sitters to give shots fast enough and you know one thing I was trained academically as a biomedical engineer. So I I can be annoying and in my ability to kind of. Dig for root causes and that's exactly what I did in this case is you know I started asking myself like what what's happening why are so many pets getting sick why are so many dogs and cats getting diabetes and? I went out and talking to vet schools and scientists around the country and you know what I learned wasn't I'm GonNa say it wasn't really rocket science but it was you know essentially that are pets are living in in their own version of fast food nation we have you know we we have a country where four. A large large conglomerates control over eighty percent of the pet food sales in the United States and you know these are the very companies that make candy, chocolate, Jelly and cereal right. These are these are the four that control eighty percent of our pet food distribution the US. So you know. Really. The majorities are really low in meet their high in carbohydrates, these high glycemic ingredients. They're marketed very well but unfortunately, dogs and cats can't use the food for themselves otherwise, they choose products that are high in meat. That's one of the reasons you know I. Before I even gave it much thought I was leading Los Angeles moving to Austin Texas and I started new Loewe with the objective of creating a food platform. That's more species Pacific for dogs and cats at high in meet low in carbs and look like
Dealing with COVID Anxiety
"And welcome to this week's episode of Psych Central. PODCAST. I'm your host gave Howard and calling into the show today we have. Dr, just lean shot wall. She is the chief medical officer and Director of Mood Disorders Program at Sierra Tucson, a premier residential, behavioral, Health Treatment Centre Dr Chow while welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. I'm delighted to be here. We are super excited to have you here today because you're also an anxiety expert and many people who aren't used to feeling the effects of anxiety are because of covid. So I WANNA start with are you seeing people that never had anxiety? And stress issues before suddenly developing anxiety disorders because of the global pandemic. I am noticing that there are a lot of people who noticed anxiety type symptoms and since they've never really experienced them before they're really taken aback and they don't really know what's going on and so I feel like one of our big duties at this time is to help people become more aware because I think once you can name the beast benefits a lot easier to tame the beast and I think a lot of individuals will have a hard time if they don't know what to call it or what to do with it. The psych central podcast has been on the air for almost five years psych central dot Com has been around for twenty five years. So we are well versed in mental health advocacy. And for the most part, it's always sort of been in its own little corner. There's the people that have a mental health issue or a mental illness, and they understand it. There's people who developed one or have a loved one who develops a mental health issue or mental illness, and they're searching for information, but by and large the majority of the population. Was Not discussing this openly we've seen that changed dramatically in the last six months where suddenly it's sort of mainstream news about how adult that never had any mental health issues before are suddenly a suffering from the symptoms of depression anxiety stress and on and on and on. It's a lot of people talk about anxiety like it's a pathological thing. I really try to. Explain to people how anxiety is normal. You have to have the neurobiological fear response to see safe as a human being like you are going to the Grand Canyon and walking over the skywalk. The fact that we don't just climb over the rail and try to jump down is because we do have a biological response to anything that's not within the normal human experience or. Scope if you think about having a snake your chair, you want to have an anxiety response so that you can quickly panic and run and what will happen. If you don't have that fear responses, you will die because the snake will bite you or you'll have some pretty negative consequences of that. How can you not having society when you're being told all day on the? News that you need to take all these extra precautions to just be safe to not fall sake to make sure your loved ones don't die. That is something that just normally will cause some degree of anxiety the difference between that type of anxiety and what can be called a DSM anxiety disorder ends up being that it becomes overwhelming to the point that you can't function. And what we start to see people who may have had a higher level of anxiety before were being able to do things to help themselves like going to the gym to work out or going for a run outside or spending time with loved ones all people they're coping skills have been taken away, and that is where you start seeing that they now fall into more that clinical anxiety. Disorder category if you look at most mental health conditions, they are on a spectrum and it just really depends on how far along the spectrum you are. Today could be that today it's a disorder, but a week ago or two weeks ago wasn't quite meeting the criteria. One of the themes that runs through the sake central podcast we try to explain that mental health and physical health actually. Are. They have a lot in common meaning most people have good physical health. Most of the time you can still get a cold. You can still get injured and that's a very temporary problem but you can also have, for example, diabetes, which is severe and persistent and lifelong mental health is the same way I. Think a lot of people think that you either have good mental health or. You're mentally ill and that there's nothing in between do you believe that because of the pandemic people are starting to realize that everybody has mental health and that you can have the equivalent of of a cold which in in this case is stress and anxiety or panic do you think this is helping to educate people that we all have mental health and anything can trigger bad mental health. I think reading a lot more content about that in very popular channels, Navy your podcast, or me this our world. But other people for whom this is not their world. We are seeing them talk more about mental and in my own World I try not to talk about somebody having just mental illness I think about mental health on a continuum. You can do things every day to improve your mental health and you can do things every day that may not really be serving well, the kind of food you e the places that you go to the people you spend time with each of those things can help build up that mental hell.
The Future Of IVF with Dr. Zaher Merhi
"So My name is Dr Marie? Reproductive endocrinology further specialist. My is in Manhattan on Columbus Circle. The practice is called new hope for not center I. Am a father of two boys. Ryan is fifteen years old going through puberty and Adam is eleven years old and I love my boys and my dot com will be he's my favorite history years old any sleeps with me every night I literally feel like we're just gonNA continue a sentence from from before. So we were talking about all your. Treatments in all the different things that you can experience while you're having your IV thing that sounds like somewhat not want to call it a SPA treatment but there it just sounds. Nice. Amazing this it is treated. You know it's funny to warding job honestly, and I really love my job and a lot of time I get attached to my patients because you're helping them have a baby and you know I get Christmas cards every year and saying, Oh thank you give me a baby. What kind of you know it's it's really happiness I cannot explain and actually they send pictures of the kids and the children and I put them on the wall and my house. So I have a wall full of pictures of the baby, the baby's. Saying So let's go back because I. think part of this conversation was really like I the F. One. Oh one if you've ever been curious if you've ever thought about it if you've ever been, you know sort of confused about what it entailed. We really covered all the details. So those of you listening who are still curious about that providence to go listen to part one of this conversation part two is going to be more of like you. I mean, you're just so knowledge what everything. More of the cutting edge stuff because I think that that's really what your outfit specializes in and is so prized for is that you really are on this cutting edge of what does it mean to be able to bring Tila to a challenging situations and to do it in a really as noninvasive way as possible, which is actually fascinating Lee sometimes with better results. So I guess we got cut off at noninvasive chromosomal screening is that right? Am I like looking at this? Okay. Then noninvasive chromosomes screening our next is the following. Let's say Daphne has three boys and now she wants to have a car. And now she comes to my office and tell me Dr Marie I WanNa have a boy now are we gonNa do is we're going to do something called IVF. We suck the ads at your husband's sperm, and then we make embryos right sperm and egg may can embryo it takes down a week to make an embryo Now, a days in the last few years more and more centers are testing the embryos not just for the gender also chromosomal screening. You don't want to worry about having a down syndrome baby and then I'm Houston later on or have a miscarriage and then was centers. Do they take a piece of your embryo and then freeze the embryo and test this piece for the chromosome because it's coming from the embryo? We don't do that with the Knicks are noninvasive chromosome screening. We take the fluid at your embryo where it's growing. Just. A fluid water and with that fluid for the end without taking off your angrier. We're only has this technology and I can tell you a lot of people come to us because they were like you know I don't know if the biopsy off Ambrose rain debut and I don't want south sticking out of my my future baby you know they can out to be tested. So that's that's the knicks or none of his of chromosomes I can tell you I love it because it doesn't put on your embryo if you see how an embassy biopsies down the stretch like this and the Pum, a piece of snaps out. It's a little bit aggressive. So the next I think presents a lot of things and then you can also for tomorrow and you can have your boy if you want just journalists election. Yeah. Fascinating because the the a when it's growing remember we put it in a culture dish and over the week after we had the sperm and egg over the growth of. The DNA is thrown in that fluid. So that's how we do it. So that's I think is cutting edge technology reverted proud to have it at new hope fertility center. Why is it only you guys that have this technology you know other centers have done it for research and stuff, but I did not get a good result when we started this technology. I can tell you my secret sauce by the way to have fun. Waiting. But before we offered the to patients, you have to test it. Right. You have to do on the same embryo both technologies the old one and the fluid L. We got ninety nine point nine percent correlation other places they got sixty, eighty percent Max, and so it's the the lab hasn't really got the as good results if I wanNA, say that's Why it's not. So we have great technology. We have great lab, and that's why we have a thousand nine point nine percent correlation between both understood and has a nice. So we talked before about the Needle Free Ivf, we're you take pills instead of injections, correct pills and patches and everything. Correct. There's no patches. This fills by mouth by GINA NASAL spray. Spray interesting correct. Is it just as effective show? We have to be very careful because if someone is young and they have a lot of eggs, it's not it's less effective. Why because? The shots are more aggressive food for the eggs and younger patients have lot of eggs to feed. So they need more food. So the pills is not enough they need addition to shots but women thirty five years, and above it's as effective as the old conventional where patients plenty of shots That's so interesting and I told you I have a patient and Amazon me she wants to talk about experience about the. Home Ivf because she get, we sent to the house no shots just spilt and nasal spray and that we got a lot of eggs as she made four embryos and that's that's a lot I mean it's this is favor good. So yeah it's effective and then how long can you freeze embryos for twenty five years? So it's good and bad guy, and this is great question. Let me tell you why it's good and. It's bad. It's good because nowadays, some countries by some doctors are struggling with Beijing let's say you come to me ten years ago you've eggs and you at forty now you come to me after ten years. Now you're fifty years old and you. WanNa get pregnant with my own exodus froze ten years ago. Some doctors have issues with that because now they think well, what if something happens to you now you have diabetes and you know so we're GonNa be stuck in situations where actually have a patient I was doing a patient from Norway she froze her ex in Copenhagen ten fifteen years ago. Now she's fifty one and they said we cannot use your eggs because getting you're pregnant at this age is dangerous. But, that exactly so I mean I love the fact that twenty five years but also. Having Siblings Twenty five years apart. This we it. Let's say you do IV after they get pregnant and twenty five years. Oh, my my my brother is. So. There's a lot of things but last last part which is. The great thing about freezing for twenty five years is that there is a lot of abandoned embryos what am I gonNa do with them right. I mean some clinics in this country has adult fourteen percent of the embryos abandoned coupled who left Leftover Embryos And are gone and they're not being the freezing fees because they finish this they finished family. So that's why when you go back to the conventional idea when you tell me, I get tons of eggs but guess what kinds of embryos to that you're GonNa be stuck with for live. So I won't vicious the thing that, yes home ivf or gentle IVF or neither free IVF. It's good effective at your to be stuck situation where you're going to be freezing fees for twenty five years for embryos that you might not need. Right. A lot of my consultations are bishops will finish their family and they just WanNa talk to me about what to do that embryo and I don't know what to say, what are the different options, throw it out, give it to another couple or give it twenty such but
Why You Should Stop Snacking And Start Fasting
"Hello Jason. Welcome to the PODCAST. Thanks for having me on. We're GONNA have a great chat I. Loved Your Latest Book that you co wrote with eve and Meghan, and this is titled Life in the Fast Lane. I'm curious to start. How does somebody WHO's a kidney specialists get? So interested in fasting as a subject yeah. That's a great question I think that what happened is that as? A kidney specialists, what I do is I see a lot of type two diabetics and as we've had this sort of increasing obesity epidemic since the nineteen seventies that sort of was followed by an epidemic of type two diabetes starting in the late nineteen eighties, nineteen nineties, and then type two diabetes is actually far and away the most common cause of kidney disease. So as you know we went into the two, thousand, two, thousand ten we started to see much more and more of type two diabetes related kidney disease. So I actually encountered it quite a bit and as it became more and more important part of my practice I started to think about weight loss because the entire way that we treat you know. Disease is sort of backwards that is if you look at type two diabetes related kidney disease, for example, we spend a lot of money and effort trying to design drugs and dialysis and all that sort of stuff. However, the actual treatment doesn't make sense because we have kidney disease from type two diabetes while the answers to how to get rid of it is. Telling you right there if you have if you don't have type two diabetes, then you can't get diabetic related disease and if you lose weight year type two diabetes will get better. So the real answer to this whole problem lies in getting to the root cause, which is the weight. If you lose weight, then you don't get the type two diabetes. You don't get the kidney disease and that's really the only good way to treat the disease yet as a medical profession nobody was interested. In weight loss and to a large extent nobis really interested. We started gave up this entire concept which is so important. So fundamental to human health because this is what we face in North America today, lot of problems of of touchy diabetes and obesity, and we gave it up to like you know weight watchers, Jenny Craig and all those sorts of things it's like that's fine but it's really an important subject. So that's when I started to look at the question of weight loss and When I looked at it was clear that there wasn't a lot of really good thinking in the area. The entire field was dominated by sort of calories in calories out theory that is you know we've all heard this before you know it's just a matter of eating fewer calories and exercising more like if you actually think about it for a little bit, it actually makes very little sense that is you know it's a very sort of simplistic argument because the question is not whether people are eating more calories or burning less calories. The question is sort of wire the eating mark how And why are they not burn as many calories and it turns out that the real answer to why we're gaining weight is more likely related to our hormones. Then the number of calories were eating as an example, you can eat two different foods of the same. The same number calories. So you could eat broccoli or you could drink Soda Strictly Soda. Well, it's very easy to gain weight if you're drinking soda. But almost nobody gained weight eating Broccoli. So the point is that for two foods that are the same calories they're completely different in the minute you put it in your mouth. The hormonal response to those two foods is completely and utterly different. So if the hormones different the hormonal instructions that we deliver to our body or going to be completely different. So a simple example as tidy if you drink sugary soda, there's almost no sitadi signalling. You don't feel full from drinking sugary soda yet if you eat a large number of calories of Broccoli or steak or any sort of real. Natural food you will get full. So that's a simple example of how the body responds to these calories to foods of equal calories but totally different response from our bodies, and therefore what's important is not just the number of calories that this sort of hormonal response and that's you know that's what I talk about. A lot of is this sort of trying to get to the root cause of what causes weight gain rather than this, very, very simplistic sort of calories in calories out model which to be honest hasn't really helped anybody that is it's in the standard sort of advice for. Doctors and Dietitians everybody to count your calories yet it almost helps nobody. So you know here we have a treatment which is counting calories and doing calorie restricted diets, which has a failure rate's probably on the order of ninety nine percent. So it's like why would that be standard treatment if the failure rates like ninety, nine percent I, it's not just my opinion you see it in the numbers like the numbers don't lie there's more and more obesity out there people try to lose weight they count their calories and they don't lose weight. So it's not a very good strategy from all sorts of from all angles

"Part of your body. As you just heard the list so every body's system. You have and your brain. Diabetes can cause low moods, poor memory, weak blood vessels, fragile bones, kidney disease, just to name a few, but truly the list does go on, and on the bottom line, keeping your blood glucose numbers in the normal range of eighty to one hundred is critical to maintaining good health and avoiding the potential risks that Brittany just mentioned. An F.. Half the population has either prediabetes type two diabetes. You really need to understand what diabetes is an how to prevent it so you should know also what to eat, but what to avoid, and if you have diabetes, or if you are concerned about getting type, two diabetes will also start by talking about what's actually going on in your body. If you have type two diabetes, that's right so first of all diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot get sugar or glucose into your cells for energy. The pancreas makes insulin so insulin is a hormone that helps deliver glucose to your cells. And we know your body needs a certain amount of glucose for energy, but those high glucose levels greater than one hundred twenty six. That falls into the diabetes level type, two diabetes level, and can cause the health problems that Brittany talked about earlier. The Kidney Disease Heart Disease Depression Alzheimer's many many more. And as a Dietitian, I frequently have clients. Tell me my mother has diabetes. My grandmother had diabetes, so they often think it's a genetic problem in yes, genetics can play a role in getting diabetes, but the truth is our lifestyle. Habits actually play the biggest role in whether or not. We get type two diabetes. That those poor lifestyle habits can lead to insulin resistance, which is the most common cause of type two diabetes.

"The science has evolved of flooding meditation. Then my treatment has evolved as well. I worked very closely with by healthcare. I'm a huge proponent. That diabetes is a team. Sport breaks a full team to successfully manage diabetes when it comes down to medical professionals for sure by chronology Dr Peters Diabetes Educator Donna. Working with the nutritionist. My exercise physiologist integrated that. But it's also my team at home. It's it's my wife. My parents my sister. My friends that I'm having a hard day on burned out. They're the ones that support me healthy and encourage me Even people the diabetes community are the people that understand what I what I go through every day and sometimes reaching out to ban and just talking through challenges they faced or how things have gone really well for the last couple of weeks Is I think that's an important part of vantage get talked about Managing Diabetes exported working within that team to continue to ask questions about what infringer available. What injection method allergies are out there? how how things worked for me? It find having problems if I have an issue with by JAB activity. Is someone else they that overcome that. I think that that dialogue is really important to keep getting better lie. I think families are really important component. My former husband is a type. One of forty four years and doesn't have any diabetes complications. And we're really good friends and I was meeting recently. Were talking about blood. Sugars new said. Don't you remember you know? We got married in her late twenties. I don't remember every time my blood sugar was high said. Don't worry it's GonNa come down and it really made a difference and I said I really said that he's like yeah and it helped so I really. It's interesting because even for me I you know having these conversations you forget that how important your family is. Because it's easy are they're that first line of support and and sometime. I definitely kill badly. That has to get the deal with my Mood swing by blood. Sugar Swing sometime and the Beeping of my my desk com g six bedside table in the middle of the night those sorts of things. I feel badly that when she's trying to sleep and especially at the moment she's pregnant and where Trying to make sure she gets arrest. And sometimes especially if I'm hovering around and alarm blood sugar and I've a glowing above the flow it It doesn't always wake me up because I I hear it. I understand by punchers. Okay right around that alarm number. I'm fine but it definitely wakes her up. I feel badly about. I think you know as you were saying. Family's really important but also diabetes is a family disease you know. Everyone learned to participate. I know for me when I got involved with my former husband. I was really impressed. The way he manages diabetes. He really was proactive. He wasn't embarrassed about it. And the way he modeled. It was the way I expected everyone to being than later when I start working in the industry I realized that not. Everyone's like that so modeling that in having the support and having your family support you know rather than publicly shaming you for example some people write me and say hey you know i. I dated someone and they tested their blood sugar at the table. Unite isn't that improper knows like I said No. It's not so so I think that's I think to me that's one of the great things about having worked with the race with influence program for the last twelve years is being able to green diabetes into the light a little bit too to kind of remove some of those stigmas that people talk about And I can't remember who it was. It was another notice patient lassiter and he was talking about. How is his grandmother had diabetes and and they didn't talk about it they said. Oh she she's got the sugar just kind of it was. It was just kind of a nord or almost minimized and now the conversation around diabetes has changed part of it is the growth of the the community wants. Take Two's And access all right access and communication. I think social media podcast boggs. Online interaction has really allowed the conversation within the diabetes community to to remove that stick by to to make it more of a interactive dialogue with all of the stakeholders within the the disease state from. You know medication. Companies to healthcare professionals to patients to advocates to passengers. There's there's there's this great continuing to grow as low energy of bow the conversation and and the future And then something that you know being involved with no one can being part grace within flip program. I think my rookie year in Indycar in twenty eleven in fact couple years before that has been a lot of fun to be part of and does the new team that you're racing with is something that they're learning about also taken it upon themselves. They know the difference between type one type two or do you feel a responsibility to them with that. Like oh it's funny. You say a responsibility to educate I think I see it as an opportunity to you educate The new team for me. It's really exciting on a professional level to raise for somebody like Aj four Aj for history with indycar racing thing within the Indianapolis Motor speedway general as a driver. He's one all over the world. Some of US psychotic races out there and touch was the first four time winner of the Indianapolis five hundred. That's pretty rarified. Air and he has his face on the Warner Trophy. Times fighting it out with five hundred in five different decades and you talk about that and how challenging it is to just make indy five hundred not only did he make it in five different decades. But then he went on to win it four times so his history as a driver. Is it Tommy? The whole team and a culture of the team the being able to to learn from him and and work with their team at at in the card every car race. This year is pretty exciting. I think it's it's early days within by awareness and education campaign within the the race team but there are a couple of team members mechanics team managers. But I've worked with at previous rates. So they're pretty aware and they're really excited to to continue to learn and and learn about the race with programming. Will THAT BE TRUMP?

"Problem darts. Because we're human being. We beaten like this person has been fasting for hours. They starving they overindulge and overeat eat. And that's when we really can not get the full benefit of them and is that it for some people is that because their blood sugars low or for example people that take insulin. How does that work for them? Too fast they say they. You know they're taking insulin long acting Basil Insulin. And they're supposed to take insulin when the E so with fasting. Do They not take insulin. Because they're not eating and they only take the you know the the fast acting the rapid acting again so people with diabetes and Ramon have a very special challenge for both at risk of having glocer during the evening hours but then having very high sugars after the if dr which is the big meal in the evening so it makes it even more challenging both ways for diabetics most the majority of diabetic who are on oral agents. He just pills. The majority of them can't fast reasonably safely and they don't need to adjust their medication that much especially when they don't have high risk of having of earth are they had high-pricing before now the people who are on. Insulin is a bit of a different challenge. Because insulin like I in in a healthy individual who does not have diabetes when they fast. And that's what the study in England and all that when they fast. They've seen their insulin. Level goes really low almost undetectable levels so prevent them from having hypoglycaemia and they think. That's what may we set the insulin resistant type thing. That can happen in obese and diabetic people who take like the insulin long acting insulin or the fast acting insulin insulin. Staying in their system. They're eating or not and then can lead to be your hypoglycaemia the majority of people who elect to fast While there is still on insulin they most of them they will need to change the timing and the dose of their insulin. So sort of the fast acting insulin. You're not gonNA take any fast acting when you're not eating but even the Basil Insulin. The Long Acting. Insulin probably need to move the timing audit from if you take it in the morning you really want to move it to take it in the where the evening around the evening meal. And most of guidelines recommend to cut back does by ten fifteen to twenty percent to prevent these low sugar during the fasting hours. And what if you're on an insulin pump? Would you do the same thing? So you would adjust your basil bullish recog- a although I was reviewing some guidelines are on the safety of fasting during Ramadan. I'm not a clergy percents. So it's really hard to tell you can't believe take responsibility and saying you can fast and you cannot fast so this is a very hard decision for a personal decision to make once you get there. But in general there are few high risk markers really make people have to stop and think twice before they want to make that decision and proceed with the fast thing. And You you're well-controlled on pomp and you can feel the hypoglycemia. Continuous Glucose Monitor Daring. And he can tell when you're hypoglycemic. Then that's fine but if you don't or you have the hypoglycemia unawareness need you. Can crash down without even having warning symptoms..

And so it's important to just really emphasize lifestyle modification in this population on couldn't agree with you more. All right. Well, thank you for explaining that the next thing. I wanted to go into with you, guys, exactly. The mechanism of insulin resistance type two diabetes. A lot of debate on this end. I would love for you to hit us all hard with the science go into it as you. As scientific as possible that you can go all the way into the biology for our listeners of what causes inflammation instance, type two diabetes. How does saturated fat play a role in this? How how can you eat a high carbohydrate diet and not make diabetes worsen and all that I'm super graduates question because this is this right here. This conversation is the Hawes of ninety percent of all the conflict in the diabetes world. It's the cause of the, you know, there's there's a lot of debates, and there's a lot of sort of misinterpreted science, and in all really boils down to this exact conversation here about what truly causes insulin resistance because like I said earlier prediabetes is the the condition that you develop before you become hype to that. However, insulin resistance is another is another synonym for prediabetes. That's really all. It is. So it you first become insulin resistant that manifests itself as that we refer to as pre-diabetes. Diabetes one in the same. And then when insulin resistance goes from being a small, you know, a condition that is doesn't really disturb your bug the coast too much to a condition that disturbs your bug significantly. That means that you go from prediabetes to type two diabetes. So you in other words,.

"When you walk in. So we don't do tasked routinely and people that says, hey, you have prediabetes. Diabetes. But there are some people in which you can probably predict might be at risk for prediabetes. Those are people who leave sedentary lifestyles were overweight. Those are individuals that you've probably can say, you know, there's a strong likelihood you could have prediabetes. And if you think you're going to do something about it could be worth checking, otherwise those people that you would say this is a good time to start leading a better lifestyle. Is there any diet? That's better than any other. So diet is very controversial area depends on who you talk to him. Right. There are some people that advocate, you know, low carb diets key Todic diets, there's a variety of different diets the American diabetes association, which is really sort of the, you know, the professional authority in this area has no specific. Conditions on which diet is better than another. Because the data are controversial anyone that you look at. I think the the bottom line is it's better to go with the diet that you can stick to right because you know, if you don't if you if you basically are being asked to take a, you know, a very high fat or high protein diet, and that's not what you normally eat the chances that you'll adhere to that or much lower. So where's the cutting edge stuff and type two diabetes right now. You know, a lot of the cutting edge stuff is in new medications right weight loss medications, we know that losing weight can have a dramatic impact on diabetes. So there are, you know, obviously, drug companies that are working on a variety of different than new drugs, and you probably know in the past decade, the number of new drugs for type two diabetes has been coming. Probably every. Couple of years there, obviously new drugs and the goal of many of these drugs is to lower blood sugar without increasing weight. And that's a big goal. The other goal and type two diabetes. Medications is that the FDA requires that many of them be tested longer term to look at risk for cardiovascular disease. Right. So we're not looking to reduce it. We're just looking to make sure these drugs don't increase that risk to have some of the ones in the past increase the rest. Yeah. There have been some in the past that suggest that it could increase risk again. A lot of its controversial. We sometimes look at the data and relocate the data.

An investigation has begun after 20 flats were destroyed by a six-storey fire in east London.
A further 10 flats in De Pass Gardens, Barking, were damaged by heat and smoke.
London Fire Brigade tweeted on Sunday afternoon that the "ground floor to the sixth floor are alight", before saying the fire was "under control" shortly after 6pm.
A man and a woman were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, but no other injuries were reported.
It is not yet known what caused the fire.
About 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines were called in, homes were evacuated and roads closed to the public.
London Ambulance Service put "crews on standby", sent its hazardous area response team and dispatched an air ambulance.
London Fire Brigade called in crews from Barking, Dagenham, East Ham and surrounding fire stations.
Evacuated residents were advised to go to Thames View Community Centre on Bastable Road.
A spokesman for the L&Q Group, which oversaw a regeneration project in east London, said: "This property was built by a private company and is now owned by a private landlord.
"As we have a large presence in the area, we have arranged for staff to open up our local office so we can assist residents." | <urn:uuid:e62f707a-2c2b-49a8-b301-6045dff30de0> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://news.sky.com/story/100-firefighters-tackle-six-floor-fire-at-flats-in-barking-east-london-11738455 | 2020-03-30T05:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370496523.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200330023050-20200330053050-00028.warc.gz | en | 0.98368 | 265 |
I was ready to switch.
Wanting to break my TTM slump, I thought about going to ALL handwritten letters.
I haven’t yet.
Why? I think it depends on who’s getting your letter. Is it someone with bad eyesight who’ll wince at my penmanship? The late Bob Will, a Cub who became a bank executive, said that typed letters were easier to read.
However, reluctant signers might suspect that you know the magic powers of a computer. To them, the lack of handwriting signifies that you’re running a 24/7 operation, mass-producing autograph requests. In fact, whether it’s a current or former player, someone who’s never typed might think you’re being lazy and impersonal by bypassing handwritten correspondence.
The only fact I’m convinced of is this: write the envelope by hand. I seem to remember from years ago that Jack Smalling tried offering pre-addressed labels from his baseball address list for a fee. I liked the temptation of speed, but knew the impression wouldn’t be favorable.
A hand-addressed envelope is a good first impression. Once the envelope is opened, you’ve got a real chance, even if you used crayon.

As I left the subway yesterday afternoon, I wondered if the rain had stopped. I approached the stairway to heaven and all things Meatpacking District when a man who looked like he had just seen Godzilla turned to me and said "It’s fucking Noah’s Arc shit out there.” Armed with a $4 umbrella, I went toward the rain, which seemed more like a portend to an Al Gore "I told you so" monologue than a midsummer relief. As I bravely entered the maelstrom, tourists huddled under awnings, looking like scared wet puppies. They looked at me like I was a fireman entering the burning tenement. I decided to sing and skip through the puddles and had the most fun. I entered my meeting at the Soho House with wet feet and a youthful grin. There, I kissed cheeks and shook hands with fabulous friends who told me secrets that I swore I’d wait on.
Someone asked me if I had been to Jon B’s new restaurant, punctuating the remarks with "air quotation marks and ending with wink, wink." I said, "No, I haven’t gone to RSVP yet and I don’t think I will.” They asked me if he was going to run it like a restaurant or if he would it do that for a while and then let it devolve into just another Juliet Supper Club. I said something like, "A leopard can’t change his stripes,” or “A horse is a horse of course of course," and the dude thought I wasn’t making sense. They put booze in those drinks at Soho House.
Another chatty fellow told me he heard from a lawyer that works with another lawyer that’s getting the liquor license that Jon B was going to reopen Juliet, which has been shuttered because of doing everything badly. This fellow swears that Jon will open there again as a restaurant. "OMG!" I offered while trying to escape. “It will be Deja Vu, Bang ,Bang, Bang all over again!” While the suits chuckled at my escape quip, I ran to the couch to take my meeting, waving to beautiful, wonderful, fabulous people at the bar. Soho House is all things to some people. I’m considering hanging there constantly for inside “wink, wink” scoops.
This Saturday night I am heading to Le Poisson Rouge to catch DJ/producer/old friend Frankie Knuckles. I chatted with him about the gig and the state of dance music yesterday. Le Poisson is really an important spot and has been since day one. It was good to catch up after too many years. Frankie will be joined by Miguel Migs, Sleepy & Boo, Mikey G, and Dan Fisher. It will be nice to hear some good ol’ house music. Electronic dance music is like a mosquito to my ears. I seek some vocals and the company of adults.

Battery pull with power on, for 30 seconds, is likely what you want to try first, djqanaza.

Exasperated parents practicing throw-and-connect skills with their young children will be relieved to know that their child’s inability to hit a slow-moving ball has a scientific explanation: Children cannot hit slow balls because their brains are not wired to handle slow motion.
“When you throw something slowly to a child, you think you’re doing them a favour by trying to be helpful,” said Terri Lewis, professor of psychology at McMaster University. “Slow balls actually appear stationary to a child.”
This explains why a young child holding a bat or a catcher’s mitt will often not react to a ball thrown toward her, prompting flummoxed parents to continue throwing the ball even slower. By adding a little speed to the pitch, Lewis and her team found that children were able to judge speed more accurately. There are several reasons for the phenomenon.
“Our brain has very few neurons that deal specifically with slow motion and many neurons that deal with faster motion,” says Lewis. “Even adults are worse at slow speeds than they are at faster speeds. The immature neurons in a child’s brain make a child especially poor at judging slow speeds – immaturity disadvantages the few neurons that are responsible for seeing slow speeds more so than the many neurons responsible for seeing faster speeds. Once the brain develops to maturity, it becomes more adept at handling slower speeds.”
Lewis’ research, which will be published in July in Vision Research, was triggered when she and her team began detecting a correlation between eye problems and perception. For instance, children born with cataracts and treated as early as a few months of age were found to encounter problems with seeing motion later in life. Deficits in motion perception are particularly pronounced when a person encounters slow motion. | <urn:uuid:bb364b90-3b24-458b-93c9-4d42f3f13318> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/5892/slow-balls-take-the-swing-out-of-young-ball-players/ | 2021-01-16T12:38:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703506640.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116104719-20210116134719-00640.warc.gz | en | 0.978978 | 374 |

Whether you are Dutch or visit the Netherlands from elsewhere, a weekend in Amsterdam might be perfect to spend some quality time with your father!
Here are five activities you could try:
A free walking tour might be some of the best activities you can do. Amsterdam has a rich history, and a guide pointing out the small details and hidden gems makes the visit to this city so much more interesting.
What is the reason of the tall typical buildings, sometimes called dancing houses, are leaning to the side or forward? What is the link between the church in the red light district and sailors? Why is the jewish quarter of Amsterdam plenty of new buildings?
The tour is free to join, and at the end you give tips based on what you learned, and of course your budget! There are several operators with different tours (and languages), some of our receptionists have joined the tour from Sandemans!
Biking is the perfect way to get around Amsterdam!
There are plenty of scenic spots, take your bike on the ferry (for free!) and discover the street art around NDSM in the north of Amsterdam, or try to find some of the 8 windmills of Amsterdam. The windmill "De Gooyer" might be the perfect finish of such a tour, not only is it the tallest wooden windmill of the Netherlands but has a brewery inside where you can sip on delicious IJ beers (a favorite of our staff!).
Bikes can be rented almost anywhere and cost around 15 euros per day.
Another good way to explore Amsterdam is by boat!
Blueboat company offers canal cruises, taking you to the best sights for around 15 euros. Or how about an evening cruise or even dinner on the boat?
Or if you are Dutch (or feeling like it), you can also rent your own boat! This option starts at about 80 euros for 3 hours, and you don't even need a license!
Opinions differ about Heineken. For some Dutchies it is their favorite beer, for some others it is the last beer they would drink.
But discovering (and tasting!) the sucess story of the oldest Brewery of Heineken can definitely be a fun experience and is perfect for rainy days.
What we would recommend is to book one of the later slots in the day! Visit Amsterdams attractions before, maybe get some snacks at the Albert Cuyp market next to the Heineken Experience, and then after the experience you are in a hip neighbourhood to have dinner (and maybe some more beers).
Other than Heineken, there are plenty of other beers to taste!
Try as many as 158 craft beers (ok, maybe not in one go), discover 4 bars, and get a free t-shirt reminding you of the fun experience!
Morebeer offers plenty of beer related activities, a fun one is definitely the Morebeer tour!
If you would rather be on your own, check out the hip neighbourhood De Pijp in the south of Amsterdam! Other than the famous Albert Cuyp Market during the day, there are plenty of cool bars to check out. Maybe combine it with a delicious burger at the burgerbar (we definitely visit this place more than we should)!
Do you have other cool ideas? Let us know!
And in case you would like to stay with us it would be our pleasure to give you more tips and insider knowledge about Amsterdam! You can contact book with us directly here, or contact us for a gift voucher.
We wish you a good day! | <urn:uuid:b4b37595-de75-43dd-84bb-30fff7e0f25e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.hotelalexander.nl/en/father-s-day-2020 | 2021-01-20T22:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703522133.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20210120213234-20210121003234-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.956502 | 726 |
The way the Dacia Sandero performs isn't good. Quantitatively speaking, it's competitive; qualitatively, it lacks good manners and sophistication. As such, it's acceptable – but only just.
If you're on a tight budget, don't be put off by the entry-level engine choice. The 1.0-litre petrol engine's 0-62mph time of 14.2secs might sound poor, but it's barely a second slower than the 1.2-litre Peugeot 208, and is slightly quicker than the now obslete 1.2. It doesn't feel desperately slow, either, although it's not one to regularly drive a long way on the motorway.
It's apparent that this is a powertrain designed to function, not to please, however. The engine is tinny at idle and becomes coarse above 3500rpm, making its presence felt and heard in the cabin.
A more modern option is the 898cc turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, badged TCe. Sanderos with this engine are by no means slow, and are more suited to cross-country driving than the basic 1.0-litre models.
The TCe engine produces plenty of torque and makes the Sandero as spritely as you'd want it to be; the 0-62mph sprint is dispatched in 11.1sec. It isn't, however, particularly inspiring, and it sends unpleasant vibrations through the controls and body. | <urn:uuid:7dd3c5fe-3e3c-4144-bfbe-710858724642> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/dacia/sandero/performance | 2019-11-12T04:07:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496664567.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20191112024224-20191112052224-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.967641 | 305 |

HE IS GOING AHEAD OF YOU
Rev. Dr. Joyce Antila Phipps
Old First Church April 16, 2017
Texts: Psalm 121; Mark 16: 1-8
Art often has a way of glimpsing the underlying truth of life in a way when words often fail. The earliest images of Easter date from the fourth century and are the images of the women coming to the tomb, which they found already open and empty except for a young man dressed in a white robe who, according to Mark’s Gospel read this morning, tells them to tell the other disciples that Jesus has gone ahead of them into Galilee.
Over the centuries artists have provided us with many different images of Easter. Reflecting the statement of the fourth century Ambrose of Milan that “in Christ, the world has risen, heaven has risen, the earth has risen,” artists usually depicted the risen Christ as rescuing others from the underworld and death. With a few exceptions, images of the actual event of Christ’s resurrection did not begin appearing in the West until the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Most images prior to that development usually showed a stern and judging Christ Pantocrator, the word finding its origin in the Greek for “God Almighty.”
One of the earliest images in Western art is found in a beautifully illustrated manuscript known as the Bamberg Apocalypse of the three women at the empty tomb being confronted by the young man now depicted as an angel with wings.
One of the most powerful images of Resurrection is the early seventeenth century painting by Rubens showing a muscular Christ leaving the tomb looking up as if summoned with the soldiers cringing and cowering. Our modern artistic images tend not to be representational, as we see on our bulletin cover, but are more abstract and colorful
Music, too, reflects the wonder of the story, even the one in Mark, although the magnificent Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah does not use an actual biblical text for its setting, but abridged portions of texts drawn from the book of Revelations by a preacher named Charles Jennens.
We, of course, really have no idea what actually happened that first Easter, for the various biblical texts although they try to paint a picture provide no rational explanation of the events. That is what is most perplexing to our so-called modern minds. Scholars and theologians uneasy with non-scientific explanations have tried to cherry pick their way through the Gospel accounts, which, if you really examine them, are not exact copies of each other.
Those accounts provided statements of faith and were aimed at developing community memory more than a full generation later. Our twenty-first century minds have difficulty with what seems to be the irrational. I mean, if you really think about it, the story doesn’t make sense – scientific sense. Where’s the evidence some ask? No wonder that the alternative fact presented was that the disciples had stolen the body and invented the story in order to justify what had actually happened to this man Jesus, crucified as a trouble-maker and political revolutionary, someone who challenged authority and the abuse of power.
We need to look at the resurrection stories, including this one we read this morning, in light of the essential interrelation of Jesus life and ministry on the one hand and the community of faith on the other. There were no neutral observers or witnesses to the Resurrection, and as one theologian put it, the Gospel accounts show a noticeable hesitancy to meet the demands of reason.
Indeed, the crucifixion of Jesus calls for an existence of faith in which it becomes evident that Resurrection established a new reality. This new reality calls for a corresponding lifestyle. Our faith and faithfulness to the demands of the Gospel flow into our lives as believers creating analogies to the life of Jesus, our crucified and risen Lord.
So what does all this mean? The three women who came to the tomb that morning expected to find a body to be anointed. In fact, as the text tells us, they asked each other, “Who will roll away the stone?” The old cave burial places had large stones to seal them. Remember the story of Jesus and Lazarus?
According to custom, in defiance of the authorities, the three women were going to anoint the body of their dead friend who had been killed as a criminal, a trouble-maker who pushed the boundaries of the religious and political authorities.
These women who could not even testify in a court of law at that time were the first witnesses to the Resurrection transformation. This transformation is a process, as the words of the young man robed in white tell them: “But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you in Galilee.” And they fled from the tomb in terror – as most of us would have.
The words at first seem strange to us: He is going ahead of you to Galilee. The words do not tell us of a cataclysm, angels descending from the clouds, or of a shaking of the foundations of the earth. They are simply that Jesus of Nazareth, now the risen Christ is going ahead of them to Galilee. What on earth could that mean? What awaited them in Galilee?
This is so different from the other stories of appearances, such as the road to Emmaus, the closed room, or in the garden with Mary Magdalene. Galilee was the place where Jesus began his ministry healing and teaching about a new way to be with other people in a new kind of society called the Kingdom of God. This new way was to point to God’s shalom, the peace that we share and give to others through the power, the measure, and the meaning of life in the risen Christ.
This means that we must live as if Easter really matters. The experience of the three women was at first dismissed by the disciples, but as others began to experience the presence of something they could not explain in ordinary terms, they realized that the women were not just hysterical with grief.
Going to Galilee means that this event which goes beyond history and transformed a small group of people into a force that changed the world I believe, that rather than making Easter something apart from the life of Jesus, we must integrate it into the very fiber of who Jesus was and what he did.
Following Jesus to Galilee means transforming our lives in such a way that we actually realize God’s grace here on earth. Truth goes beyond the way an event is communicated; there is a truth that was essential in the very life of Jesus. We cannot just simply focus on Easter and Resurrection as a way of getting beyond our daily concerns; Easter is about our daily concerns. Look at the life of Jesus himself. He not only healed people but spoke out against those forces that confine and oppress them. And, to paraphrase Pogo, “them” is us.
Living as if Easter really matters means being willing to take risks. In today’s world, we are not usually called upon to take the kind of risks as did the early followers of Jesus. Many of them paid for their risks with their lives. Our risks are different because we live in different times but they are just as real for us as were the risks faced by the early disciples. They are risks we are required to consider regarding our environmental future, our commitment to creating an open and welcoming society, and our willingness to share our resources with others.
Jesus the Christ, our crucified and risen Lord, just doesn’t go off to Galilee by himself. When we are told that he is going ahead of us, it is more than an implication that we are to follow. It is a clear statement of his expectation. “But go, tell his disciples that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him just as he told you.” In other words, stop cringing and hiding, and come out and live the Kingdom of God.
Opening a future of hope, the resurrection delivers us from what one writer called a deadening fatedness, a belief that things will always be what they were. Mark’s Gospel ends as it begins, inviting us to discipleship. In the very beginning of the Gospel, we are told that the kairos, God’s time is at hand. It is the appointed time for the purpose of God, and now at the end of the Gospel we are told that God continues to act.
Mark’s gospel, called a discourse of both trenchant realism and stubborn hope, does not flinch from forcing us to face our limitations of self-absorption, disbelief, and fear. It invites us to confront our impediments honestly and to test our convictions. If we make Easter a story only about some vague eternal reward rather than a living reality in our lives, then we are, as Paul says, the most abject of people. For Easter is not about some super miracle as seen in Renaissance art. Easter is about how we live every single day of our lives.
This very morning in China those who worship in the underground church face years in prison; this very day in North Korea, Christians are sent to camps where they are systematically starved to death; this very night in El Salvador, an evangelical pastor preaching peace will have to face the gang members who want the children in his church to join them. Easter means that the Resurrection we proclaim is not just some event that happened way back when on some foggy morning; Easter means that we are given the opportunity to have a new life, a new life in Christ, and that Resurrection can happen every day
The Resurrection calls us to push away the impediments that prevent us from living fully and to meet Jesus in Galilee, where we live, for it is in meeting Jesus in our everyday lives, whether we live in Galilee, New Jersey – or in the forgotten corners of violence in the world, that we truly encounter the Risen Christ.
Let us pray: God of Life, you have shown us through Jesus of Nazareth, who died because the world would not accept your truth, that there true life, new life in the Christ who lives through the proclamation of your realm that knows no end. Amen. | <urn:uuid:ca340256-253e-4bf7-b017-52b34c13eb1e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://oldfirstchurchnj.org/blog/he-is-going-ahead-of-you/ | 2021-10-22T01:12:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585449.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021230549-20211022020549-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.971683 | 2,116 |

At this year's Star Wars Celebration in Orlando we learned of a new addition to a galaxy far, far away: a Rebel maintenance worker named Rose. The character is set to debut in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and today brings a new look at her on the cover of an upcoming tie-in book.
While details on her role remain scant, we do know that she'll have, according to director Rian Johnson, "the biggest new part in the new movie." He went on to explain that “she’s not a soldier. She’s not looking to be a hero, and she gets pulled a very big way into an adventure in this movie with Finn [John Boyega].”
Taking that into consideration, the fact that she shares equal space with two leads - Rey and Finn - on this cover make sense. It could be that her involvement in the plot is paramount to their mission, and possessing maintenance knowledge would prove incredibly useful.
For totally legal things I mean - like breaking and entering. Double that with the book title "Heroes of the Galaxy" and you've got.... well, either a massive spoiler about Rose's fate or a Guardians of the Galaxy mockbuster.
You can check out the full cover over at StarWars.com along with a gallery of other titles announced today. | <urn:uuid:628f64e5-48ca-493e-9fd4-d05ec28598d7> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.gamesradar.com/new-star-wars-the-last-jedi-photo-shows-rebel-worker-rose-with-rey-and-finn/ | 2018-09-22T13:44:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158429.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922123228-20180922143628-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.956763 | 271 |
Michele Fleming’s films bring together most of the artistic disciplines with which she worked and combine the rhythmic observation of the world around her with references to other films and, most of all, a multitude of books; they feature work with the text on screen, portrayals of bodies and the alternating superimposition of colour and black and white.
Although she was one of the most generous and best loved teachers of an entire generation of filmmakers, from Apichatpong Weerasethakul to David Gatten, the films of Shellie Fleming have been shown on very few occasions. When she died in December 2013, dozens of students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago wrote dedications expressing their admiration for her as a person and for her work, as Fleming was, for many of them, both a personal guide and an artistic influence.
Her films, all made in 16mm, bring together different techniques, such as the insertion of photographs and strips of celluloid or the combination of superimposed layers of colour and black and white, along with a variety of processes to obtain her “reframings”, which led to Fleming being compared with Joseph Cornell and his magic boxes. As well as collage techniques, the filmmaker repeated certain visual motifs (including the emblematic conch shell) and allusions, in keeping with her fragmentary way of filming bodies (hands and gestures are particularly mysterious in her imaginary). Also very personal is her use of different voiceovers—such as her father’s in Life/Expectancy, which combines a woman’s solitary life with passages from a book on psychology—or the written texts with which she creates dozens of forms of layouts within this other frame that is the cinema screen.

He informed me that his friends had advised him about the ‘occupation’ as a escape route to his country and problems. Yes, he referred to being homeless as an occupation.
Why does the term expat conjure images of a wide eyed individual keen to explore the unknown while immigrant has a defamatory association with intrusion? Expat glamour. Immigrant grit.
We have entered a cycle of continuously throwing the ball between us while we choose to ignore the spectators eagerly looking in. Or maybe we do see the disparity, we don’t ignore it but we continue to play anyway.

No matter what we do in the protection business, it is absolutely necessary that we write it down. Failure to properly record all incidents can easily result in accusations that the incidents never really occurred in the first place or that they did not occur in the way that we are alleging. We are responsible for providing an accurate, brief, and clear record of what happened. Keeping good records greatly depends on the methodology we use, which is what we will learn today.

"Obama's on fire," Keys sang at the inaugural ball. (Joe Raedle / Getty Images )
Hours after President Obama was inaugurated, long after the parade ended and before most of the D.C. politicians got back to work, the music continued and looked as if it would go on well into the evening.
Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Maná, fun. and John Legend were among the artists slated to perform at Monday night's inaugural balls (a live feed of the Commander-in-Cheif's ball is embedded below).
After Obama gave a brief speech at one of the balls, Jennifer Hudson serenaded the president and the first lady to a slinky, upbeat rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." It's a song Obama knows well, but even our crooner in chief is no match for Hudson's stately earthiness.
VIDEO: Five landmark civil rights songs for MLK Day and the inauguration
The mood at this inauguration was definitely lighthearted and jovial, at least if one is judging by the music. Early in the night, Keys, dressed in a regal red ballgown, took to the piano to belt out a medley of recent tunes that couldn’t have been more appropriate for the evening, including “New Day” and “Girl on Fire.”
She even changed the "Girl on Fire" lyrics to turn the song into one seemingly about the president. "He's got both feet on the ground, and he's not backing down," Keys sang, further changing to lyrics to sing, "[he's] filled with catastrophe and knows he can find a way."
"Obama's on fire," she continued, louder still, and perhaps over-singing to anticipate cheers form the crowd. "He's president and he's on fire."
The galas were capping off a day of music, and there is more to come. Lady Gaga, fresh from her two-night stay in Los Angeles, is scheduled to perform Tuesday at a ball for White House staffers, according to the Associated Press.
Tuesday's event is private and one Associated Press says featured Jay-Z in 2009. Gaga's next tour date is Jan. 23 in Phoenix, making it possible for her to have a quick detour to D.C.
Earlier Monday, Times critic Randall Roberts covered the performances at the main inaugural ceremonies, where Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce and James Taylor were among the star-studded musicians in attendance (yes, Jay-Z was there too).
Beyonce, Roberts wrote, "closed the inauguration with 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' and did so with a grace that transcended the anthem’s rocky lyrical construction and curious phrasing. She floated through the song as the cameras panned the crowd — Obama staring into the distance as if he were modeling for Mt. Rushmore, his wife Michelle breaking into a little smile as Beyonce effortlessly hit her notes."

Displaced Katrina Victims
A significant majority of public housing residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina do not want to return to public housing in New Orleans, according to an independent survey commissioned by the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO). Conducted by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), the representative unbiased sampling of more than 2,100 current and former public housing residents found that while 71.6 percent want to return to New Orleans, only 35 percent preferred to return to public housing in New Orleans. When asked what form of housing they prefer, only 20.3 percent of respondents wanted to return to their former public housing units. A closer examination of families who resided in the C.J. Peete, B.W. Cooper, St. Bernard, and Lafitte developments ("the Big 4") found that even fewer (13.7 percent) preferred to return to their former units.
"This survey illustrates what HANO and HUD have been saying for the past two years," said C. Donald Babers, the HUD-appointed HANO board chairman. "The vast majority of HANO's families want better housing in safer communities. We are creating a vibrant, safe environment where children and families can thrive. These residents deserve something better than what they had and our plan give it ... more

CISAC's John W. Lewis led a private delegation to North Korea Oct. 31 through Nov. 4 to talk with senior officials from the DPRK foreign ministry, nuclear industry, and key economic institutes. The delegation, which included Lewis, CISAC visiting professor Siegfried S. Hecker, CISAC visiting fellow Robert Carlin, and Jack Pritchard, president of the Korea Economic Institute in Washington, DC, visited the nation a few weeks after it tested a nuclear weapon and days after it announced it would return to the Six-Party Talks.
Hecker, Carlin and Pritchard presented their findings in a briefing, "Update from Pyongyang," organized by the Korea Economic Institute, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
Hecker presents findings on the nuclear program in Report on North Korean Nuclear Program.

Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he didn’t think of substituting Rafael da Silva in the second half of the Champions League match against Real Madrid because he had full faith in the abilities of the 22 years old Brazilian defender. That match was played at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Silva’s performance in the first half of that match was poor and he was expected to be taken off in the second half. But, Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t do that. Silva proved his manager right and performed really well in the second half.
However, United didn’t manage to win that match. Both the teams scored one goal each and the match ended in a draw.
Ferguson was talking to the reporters in the press conference after the match. When he was asked if he considered taking Silva off in the second half, he said, “No, I didn’t consider that. I had full faith in the potential of Rafa. Yes, he had a poor first half, but, the kind of temperament that he has got; I knew that he would bounce back.”
“Rafa is one of my favourite young players. He is a fighter. He always keeps trying. For a young boy of 22, it’s not easy to bounce back after a poor outing in the first half. He showed that he is mentally very strong.”
United took the lead in the 20th minute of the match with the goal of Danny Welbeck, but, Real Madrid equalized with the goal of Cristiano Ronaldo just 10 minutes later.
When asked about the overall performance of the team against Madrid, Ferguson said, “It was certainly not one of our best performances, but, it was not that bad either. You should consider the quality of opposition as well. Real Madrid is a very strong side. So, it was not easy out there. But, I would say that we could have played a little bit better.” | <urn:uuid:495fb8c3-e1aa-489b-93b8-6d4c123801d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.rafaeldasilvafan.info/no-substitution-thoughts/ | 2023-12-10T21:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102637.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210190744-20231210220744-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.988296 | 409 |

Why use Nuclear Power?
Several major reasons that people working in the field still remain optimistic about nuclear power are:
Energy Production Rates
Uranium-235 is the isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors. Uranium-235 can produce 3.7 million times as much energy as the same amount of coal. As an example, 7 trucks, each carrying 6 cases of 2-12 foot high fuel assemblies, can fuel a 1000 Megawatt-electrical (MWe) reactor for 1.5 years. During this period, ~ 2 metric tons of Uranium-235 (of the 100 metric tons of fuel - uranium dioxide) would be consumed. To operate a coal plant of the same output would require 1 train of 89-100 ton coal cars each EVERY day. Over 350,000 tons of ash would be produced AND over 4 million tons of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides would be released to the environment.
Typical Container with 2 Fuel Assemblies
Energy Production Costs
The best example of cost comparison is shown by this graph provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute that compares average nuclear and coal production costs over recent years. Nuclear fuel costs are considerably less than coal. However, various capital, operating and maintenance costs for coal may be lower than nuclear. Thus, the 2 costs are comparable.
The various components of energy generation account for the following:
- Capital costs to build the plant and modifications after the plant is built
- Ongoing operation and maintenance costs
- Fuel costs
- US Department of Energy (US DOE) charges for ultimate spent fuel disposal
- US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) charges for regulation
Typically, the plant capital expenses are depreciated over 30 to 40 years. Modifications are depreciated over the remaining life of the plant (usually taken as the end of the current license). The operating and maintenance costs and US DOE and US NRC charges are accounted for as an annual expense. Fuel costs are usually treated separately as a capital expense depreciated over a number of years.

Base Materials Abundant
Uranium ore is used as the raw material to make the uranium fuel. Primary source countries are - United States, South Africa, Australia, Canada, Nigeria - with resources between 270 and 2400 thousand tons each. Other countries having uranium mineral resources with estimated resources of between 36 and 124 thousand tons each are - France, Argentina, India, Algeria, Gabon, Brazil. [R.A. Knief, Nuclear Energy Technology, Hemisphere, 1981]. Since the end of the Cold War, a number of former Soviet Bloc countries as Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan have entered the world market as suppliers.
Related figures from the Energy Information Administration's 1998 Uranium Industry Annual Report are:
- 1998 Utility Purchases based on Country of Origin
- Comparison of domestic and imported supplies of uranium fuel by US utilities during 1994-1998
- Comparison of domestic and imported uranium in fuel assemblies loaded into US reactors during 1994-1998
- Location of uranium supplies, mills, and plants in the US
The uranium ore must go through several steps before it can be placed in a reactor:
- Mining to excavate or extract the ore
- Milling to produce U3O8 , which is also called yellowcake
- Conversion - a 2 step process to purify the yellowcake and produce uranium hexafluoride
- Enrichment of the uranium-235 portion from 0.7 % as found in nature to 3 to 5 %. Processes used are gaseous diffusion or gas centrifuge. These separate the heavier U-238 from the U-235.
- Formation of a ceramic uranium dioxide
- Cladding the fuel with zirconium alloy
Plutonium Byproduct of Reactor Operation
95 to 97% of the fuel in the reactor is uranium-238. Some of this uranium transforms into Plutonium-239 and Plutonium-241 - usually about 1000 kg form after a year of operation. At the end of the cycle (a year to 2 years, typically), very little uranium-235 is left and about 30% of the power produced by the reactor comes from the plutonium.
To some, the plutonium is viewed negatively as the stuff bombs can be made from. To others, plutonium is a resource we need to make use of. Based on DOE projections of fuel assemblies that will be discharged as spent fuel through the year 2030, there would be enough plutonium present in the U.S. spent fuel assemblies to operate 20 reactors for 40 years each. Plutonium-239 decays very slowly (half life is 24,110 years). Thus, this is a resource if the reprocessing option is selected in the future. It should also be pointed out that some of the plutonium byproducts formed during the reactor operation, e.g. Pu-240, do reduce the effectiveness of plutonium as a bomb material by forcing more specialized separation of the Pu-239 isotope.
Countries that have civilian reprocessing facilities (operational or under construction) capable of separating plutonium are - France, India, Japan, United Kingdom, Russia as shown by the Nuclear Control Institute figure below.
Low Quantities of Waste
The fuel assemblies remain in the reactor for 3 to 5 years. The waste, in the form of the radioactive fission products, remains inside the fuel. As noted above about 2000 kg are converted to waste after 1.5 years of operation. Currently, the fuel assemblies remain in cooling pools for about 10 to 15 years. After that time, they are being transferred to special casks for storage where air can be used to cooling. The reduction in radioactivity and thermal levels for the spent fuel are illustrated by the US DOE figures below.
To extract the waste and plutonium from the fuel can result in the generation of liquid wastes since currently nitric acid is used to breakdown the cladding material and the ceramic into solution. The liquid and spent fuel wastes are very radioactive initially. However, these levels also drop as shown in the above figures.
Applications of Nuclear Energy other than Electricity Generation
Radioactive materials, produced in reactors, are used in diagnostic and therapeutic treatments in medicine, weld inspection (radiography), power sources in remote locations and space applications, and food irradiation.

We’ve all seen it. Crying in softball. Typically speaking, many folks think that girls are just criers, and that since softball is such an emotional game – the crying is just par for the course. Then, of course there are all the quotes and sayings that say things like, “There no crying in baseball,” or that equate crying in sports to poor sportsmanship and bad attitudes.
The last tournament I attended, the losing teams’ pitcher came off the field after losing in an international tie breaker, throwing her glove against the fence, screeching and pouting at her teammates with a spiteful tongue and finally retreating to the parking lot where her mom came and coddled her crying for what seemed like an hour. And, in the eyes of everyone watching – she looked like a spoiled 14-year-old brat, who in her mind had some sort of elitist syndrome that made it ‘okay’ to blame the loss on everyone else on the team. They lost by one point, in what was an amazing competitive game, and she did a stellar job pitching. The crying, especially with 4 games left to play that day, was uncalled for and excessive in this case. (BTW, they lost the rest of their games that day, likely because the attitude never changed)
Also recently, I watched an undefeated season team lose the region championship game in the last inning, and many of the teammates wiped away tears of what were certainly disappointment, as they graciously shook hands with the opposing teams and walked away with their heads held high. No one was disabled with tears, or showed poor sportsmanship. It was simply a general washing of disappointment.
These examples sort of break down the two different types of crying in softball. Crying because you lost, or because you are disappointed is natural and normal. When you watch the championship game of the Women’s College World Series the cameras also take shots of the disappointed team that lost the game, and there is always a few shimmers of tears in the corners of the eyes of players. The difference is that none of these girls are chest heaving, snot coming out of their nose crying. At least not in front of others.
Losing is disappointing. But losing a game – even a big game, is simply part of softball. Every game played on every given field, in every given venue has a winner and a loser. After all, that is what the scoreboard is there for. And while ‘getting used’ to losing, or accepting constant defeat is definitely not the way to ever WIN, it IS part of the game.
A young girl in a 14U tournament told me recently that her team has played in 5 tournaments this fall, and hasn’t won a game yet. She was frustrated, and disappointed but not crying. In fact, she was just determined. They were a brand new team, and I told her that ‘their day was coming.” I imagine when that first win finally comes, this girl with be crying with tears of joy. After working so hard for so long for something – seeing it come to fruition, is definitely worth a few tears of joy.
But all the crying because you struck out, or made an error, or because your team is behind, or because you lost a game – does very little to help your team. In the words of Abby Lee Miller, “save your tears for the pillow.” If you walk into your dugout crying, or exit your dugout crying like a baby – you are only adding to the negative energy on the field.
And quite frankly, there is a time and a place and even a barometer for crying in softball and in all sports. Disappointment certainly brings tears, and good players and good teams use disappointment to ACHIEVE MORE! So wallow in it for a bit – and then LET IT GO!
Another point important to make, if you, your child or your team is crying is to find out why. Are they crying because they didn’t do their best and are filled with regret? Are they crying because they are mad and frustrated, in a state of blame and shame? Are they crying because they are angry at other teammates?
Or are they crying because they are simply disappointed?
Also extremely important, is the reaction to crying. Tolerating excessive crying and coddling it, while often a knee jerk reaction for parents, is never the answer – especially if the team and player went out there and left it all on the field. Not that the kids shouldn’t be allowed to process the emotions, but they should always when it comes to softball and life, be taught to hold their eyes on the future. What already happened is already over, cannot be changed, and only holds the meaning it is allowed to hold. Does it define you, or a team?
One of the great lessons in softball is that there is ALWAYS someone BETTER than you are. Which means there is never time to stop and feel complacent or to discontinue striving, or to believe for a second that there is nothing left to strive for. There is always something MORE waiting in the wings. Another mountain to climb, another goal to achieve, another chance, another skill to hone, another game to win, another day to rise to the occasion.
So, back to the original question. Is crying okay in softball? The answer. Yes, there is a time and a place and even an acceptable level of crying in softball, in every sport. That being said, there are limitations and the disappointment ALWAYS needs to be used personally by the players (and coaches) to strive for more next time.

After a tumultuous 20th century, Berlin continues to be a trendy city that is as interesting as its history. An eclectic mix of people, cultures and neighborhoods characterize Europe's youngest capital. In addition to must-see sights such as the Reichstag, Kurfürstendamm, Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin offers open green spaces. Campers have several options in or near parks, woodlands and lakes.
Tentstation Berlin (tentstation.de) is located smack in the center of Berlin, only a five-minute walk from the main train station, Hauptbahnhof. The campground sits on the premises of a former outdoor public pool. The swimming pool has long been drained and pragmatic campers utilize it to play volleyball, basketball and badminton. The grounds are open from April to October and have room for 125 tents. If you are looking for original accommodations, consider renting a West German caravan "Knaus" or an original East German caravan, called "QEK Junior." A bar, open to the public, provides breakfast, snacks and drinks.
Hotel & City - Camping
Hotel and City Camping (hettler-lange.de) has two idyllic waterfront locations. Campers may swim, fish and explore the pleasant surroundings by foot or bicycle. The campgrounds, adjacent to the hotels, have numerous lots for caravans and tents. Kleinmachnow, just outside city limits in the southwestern corner of Berlin, has a rural feel and is an ideal starting point for exploring nearby Potsdam. The other location, further north in Siemensstadt, is situated on a peninsula and opens its beer garden by the water during the summer months. Both campgrounds are open year round.
Situated in the southern outskirts of Berlin, the Mahlower See camp ground (camping-bei-berlin.de/en) offers a relaxing stay. The grounds are a short walk from a lake ideal for swimming and fishing. A small shop carries basic goods and a nice restaurant sits by the lake. Each lot is spacious and has water and power hookups. In addition to impeccable sanitary facilities, campers can rent a private bathroom. This campground is kid-friendly; little guests can burn off energy at the playground and keep clean with kid-sized sinks and showers.
The Krossinsee campground (campingplatz-krossinsee.de) in the southern district of Köpenick lies directly on and is named after the Krossinsee, or Krossin Lake. Nestled in a peaceful wooded area, it offers campsites as well as rooms in houses and bungalows. The grounds have 288 pitches for tents and caravans. A shop, a restaurant with terrace and an adventure playground all contribute to a worry-free vacation. Visitors can rent boats, canoes and bikes.
Berlin has an excellent network of public transportation. Buses, the subway (U-Bahn) and the commuter rail system (S-Bahn) are inexpensive and service all areas of the city. Even from Berlin's outskirts, getting to the city center is fast and easy. Campgrounds are generally open from spring to fall. Those staying open year-round cater primarily to mobile homes and caravans. In Berlin, as in many places in Germany, many businesses don't accept credit cards. Most campgrounds require payment in cash.

This game is excellent at crafting a sense of place. Liberty City manages to be reasonably big but also maintain interest around almost every corner. Even with a contrived “the bridges are closed” setup, it was nice to solidly understand the initial neighborhood you’re stuck in before moving on to the big city. It felt like I was remembering turns, and relying very little on the GPS, which is kind of rare for newer games. GTA IV is a bit slow to get you into the thick of things though, and I would have preferred a shorter tutorial section.
It unfortunately falls a bit flat when it comes to plot development, and the story is less character-driven than it might have been. Despite the world being open, you’re being called, emailed, and texted so often that it feels like there’s a constant pull towards the direction of finishing the game. More space in which to take in your surroundings might have been nice. Random encounters do some of that, but it’s all too easy to ignore them.
There are a few moments of color, but often the game looks extremely drab. I’m not sure if this was just riding the wave of late-2000s “realism” through toning everything down, but it’d be nice if IV had some more color, to match the color of its world.
The main theme song is memorable, and was probably the part of this game that most reminded me of San Andreas. By comparison to that game, Niko feels more alone, like an aloof hitman who’s called in to do certain tasks, but doesn’t really have much of a life for himself. This game is sandwiched between an excellent predecessor and successor, so I guess I shouldn’t judge it too harshly.
There are a few interesting characters, namely Little Jacob, Brucie, and Bernie. Time spent with them provided some of the most interesting parts of the game, even when not driving major plot points. Along with the parodic worldbuilding, Rockstar is good at building interesting (if somewhat shallow) personalities that exaggerate real traits and add a sense of heightened reality to the world.
All in all, I enjoyed my time in Liberty City, but just wish I hadn’t been constantly called off to do the next thing. Especially compared to this game’s successor (GTA V) it feels like there’s relatively little to do besides drive around and shoot people.

It has been almost two weeks since the release of the new AMD Ryzen processors. Since then, there have been a number of third-party benchmarks done on the likes of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X. However, of those who were a bit eagle-eyed about their own rigs, complained that their Ryzen motherboards and processors are reporting wrong figures when it comes to core temperature.
According to Tweaktown, AMD just released a statement regarding the temperature disparity issue on the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X. In the said statement, AMD explained the nature of the temperature sensor that is built into the processor. As it turns out, the main temperature sensor of the AMD Ryzen processor is called the “T Control” of “tCTL”. This sensor measures the temperature between the actual processor die and the metallic heat spreader. However, there is an offset between the actual die temperature and the reported temperature of the chip.
More specifically, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X both have an offset of +20 degrees Centigrade between the reported tCTL and the actual junction temperature. AMD has advised users to subtract the offset from the measured temperature to obtain the true junction temperature of the processor.
Unfortunately, AMD did not specify if it will be forcing its motherboard manufacturers to issue a firmware update in the coming days. However, there is a big chance that it may happen since the Ryzen is still relatively new. Furthermore, a lot of things are still being settled on the inner workings of the new processor.
It would seem that what AMD has done is to be on the safe side. Perhaps, through its long history of overheating processors, AMD has set the bar a bit too high so that motherboard manufacturers may flag the temperature of the core before getting severely burned. Nevertheless, AMD should issue a corrective update on this issue so users can operate their machines in peace. | <urn:uuid:c0982fcf-ceb3-42c2-84e1-d39abb23dba9> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.mobipicker.com/amd-responds-amd-ryzen-1700x-1800x-temperature-issue/ | 2018-01-20T14:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084889660.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180120142458-20180120162458-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.955027 | 389 |
The IOC Joins the DMCA Censorship Club
from the ready?-set?-censored! dept
The video, which showed a pro-Tibet candle-light vigil in New York City and images from the March protests in Tibet, was dutifully pulled by YouTube. However, it was unclear what infringement the IOC was claiming. Although their famous interlocking rings were briefly shown, that would seem to be a trademark, not covered by the DMCA. Even if they claimed the rings were copyrighted creative content, their creation in 1913 places them firmly in the public domain (on copyright, the trademark remains -- but the DMCA isn't for trademark). Luckily after a number of sites questioned the action, the IOC withdrew their complaint. This remains troubling, though. The DMCA was not meant to silence legitimate speech, but the number of times litigants have suppressed content they don't like is staggering. This case benefits from external media attention due to existing hot-button political issues, but not all censored YouTube videos are so lucky and, undoubtedly, bogus DMCA requests have censored videos which result not in blogosphere outrage, but silenced expression. | <urn:uuid:92711e49-e989-476b-93b5-5a4a32c1f3e6> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080812/1245391959.shtml | 2016-07-23T09:17:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257821671.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071021-00271-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971025 | 232 |
The following post was authored by our Spring 2015 Library and Archives processing intern Stephanie Coy. It highlights one of several collections which she has cataloged this spring.
In 1988, Brooklyn Historical Society purchased a manuscript that chronicled the weekly activities of the Narrows Sunday School during the period of 1834–1845. The Narrows Sunday School was founded by Dr. John Carpenter in the Village of Fort Hamilton in 1825. After three years of successful service to the village’s residents, the school moved to a chapel building adjacent to the Dutch Reformed Church in the Town of New Utrecht (located at 18th Avenue and 84th Street in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn) where it enjoyed a larger student body and more patronage from wealthy Dutch families. The Sunday school has been in continuous existence at that location ever since!
This manuscript represents a snapshot of life and religious education in Brooklyn during the early 19th century when urbanization was beginning to take hold. With many notes about the moral beliefs of the students and teachers, weather patterns, techniques used in the education system, and the habits and etiquette observed by the staff, this manuscript offers the opportunity to study the lifestyles and beliefs common to teachers, students, and families of Kings County in the first half of the 19th century. This record book complements a large collection at BHS of other materials related to religious education in 19th century Brooklyn.
Perhaps most remarkable about the manuscript itself is its humor. For example, in the tutorial at the front of the book on how to log entries, it states:
“Thomas Wilson, discharged to-day, is a bad boy: his parents have put him to a farmer in the country.”
And on September 15, 1839, with attendance low, the writer notes that if something is not done, there will be “but little or nothing for the poor secretary to make minutes of than the number of flies that lite on the ceiling.”
May 17, 1840:
“Miss Sarah Van Brunt committed matrimony & removed from the place,” and “the school has by this catastrophe lost one of its more efficient teachers.”
At a special meeting May 9, 1841, called to better organize the school, the “only measure proposed & not objected to was a resolution of Miss Jane Cortelyou ‘that hereafter she would not laugh in school – if she could help it.'”
June 27, 1841:
“Very warm. The school seems to be melting away. Some classes entirely gone. Scarcely a grease spot left.”
May 25, 1845, the secretary asserts a visitor came ostensibly to hear the children sing but “more probably to see Matilda Church if we might be allowed to give our own opinion,” with further comments on the topic in the following entry.
Later, on June 15, there is somewhat sharper criticism of teachers for “laughing and talking” and a complaint the unclean schoolroom is “more like a hogpen than a place for decent people….”
On the more serious side, there are notes on founding a sewing club, raising money for the school, trips to New Utrecht, collections for missions, scholars’ exams at Flatbush, preparations for anniversary events, etc. Sometimes a religious topic is noted, as on May 8, 1842, when the “girls recited proofs to the May subject ‘That the Holy Spirit is the author of our Sanctification.'” There are also frequent notes on weather, especially as it influences attendance at the school.
This manuscript record reveals the individual personality and social outlook of teachers in southern Kings County in the mid nineteenth century. It documents the early history of a Brooklyn based religious education institution that still remains active to this day. Finally, it is also an important portrait of the early Dutch settlers in Kings County, especially as pertains to the more influential families of the van Brunts and the Bennetts.

King James Version of the Bible Index
The First Book of Kings
The First Book of Kings
19:1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
19:2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
19:3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
19:4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
19:5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
19:6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
19:7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
19:8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
19:12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
19:13 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
19:14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
19:15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
19:16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
19:17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
19:18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19:19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
19:20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
19:21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
19:22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
19:23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

BRITAIN’S trains should be run by non-profit making firms like track owner Network Rail because current operators are profiteering from the system, Manchester University academics argued today.
They claimed Virgin Trains, which runs cross-Border services, had paid £460 million to shareholders after receiving nearly £2 billion from the UK Government.
Professor Karel Williams said: “The train operators do not confront the issue of why we need private train operators who receive large subsidies, invest almost no capital and take very little risk, because they can and do walk away from loss making franchises with modest penalties and no claw back.
“The financial outcome is that train operators return on capital employed is 121.6 per cent - an annual return of £1.21 for every £1 invested. So why is the taxpayer licensing this level of returns?
“We say it would make sense to stop the extraction from the public purse by abolishing the private train operating companies.
“We need to make plans to integrate train and track operations within a new not-for-profit company.”
The report said the train operators’ rate of return compared to Network Rail’s of just 1.34 per cent.
Aberdeen-based FirstGroup’s five rail franchises, which include ScotRail, made a combined £63.2m operating profit in the year to March.
The Conceit of Enterprise report also questioned train operators’ claims that their marketing effort, rather than economic growth, was responsible for increasing passenger numbers.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon this week praised ScotRail for boosting its passenger total, in a response to a report that Scotland’s main train operator had commissioned into its own impact on the Scottish economy.
Ms Sturgeon said: “I’m pleased to see ScotRail’s success in encouraging more and more people to use the railways in Scotland, with 83.3 million journeys being made on its services last year.”
A spokesman for Virgin Trains said: “It is extremely disappointing the report’s authors choose to overlook all the positives that have been achieved on the west coast main line over the course of the current franchise.
“In 1997, Virgin Trains inherited a dilapidated service in desperate need of investment. With [UK] Government support and the energy and commitment of our staff, the line has been transformed. More trains, faster journey times and a record 92 per cent overall level of customer satisfaction.
“Passenger numbers have almost doubled to over 31m each year, the net result being a positive contribution to the Exchequer which in 2011-12 amounted to £160m.
“And of course the taxpayer will continue to benefit for many years to come. The next franchise period expected to net the government in the region of £5bn and thus a key contributor to the public purse. That has to be good news.”
A ScotRail spokesman said: “A major study by the respected Fraser of Allander Institute this week revealed a wide range of improvements behind the 33 per cent rise in passenger journeys since FirstGroup won the franchise in 2004.
“These include punctuality rising from 83.1 per cent to 93 per cent despite hundreds more daily services – and customer satisfaction ratings of 90 per cent, some eight points higher than the UK average for train operators.”
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: “Under the current ScotRail franchise, we are improving and extending the network, building new stations, doing what we can to keep fares down, providing wi-fi and other modern facilities and, as a result, passenger numbers have increased to record levels.” | <urn:uuid:d461a479-876d-4513-981e-b598c9b221f4> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/rail-firms-profiteering-from-taxpayer-says-report-1-3078476 | 2016-06-26T19:39:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783395548.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154955-00007-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949325 | 763 |
NTDA to hold workshops
The NTDA and KEA Advisors have joined together to offer a trio of educational workshops.
The first workshop, Sales Manager, will be held May 9-10 in Indianapolis and will be taught by KEA’s Allen Phibbs.
NTDA says the workshop is designed for top-level dealership and sales departmental leaders to understand key concepts in measuring and improving operations performance and financial results. The workshop will provide participants the ability to effectively interpret data from financial reports, analyze operational information, and make sound business decisions impacting performance drivers to improve the financial results of their sales department, NTDA says.
The second workshop, Excellence in Parts Department Operations, will be held Sept. 9-10, 2013 and will be taught by Keith Ely.
NTDA says the seminar is designed for top-level dealership and departmental leaders to understand key concepts for increasing economic profit performance in the parts and service departments. Participants will have the ability to effectively interpret data from financial reports, analyze operational information, and make sound business decisions impacting profit drivers to improve profit of their parts and service departments, NTDA says. This course also will enable upper level managers to get their hands around a single department in just two days.
The third workshop, Excellence in Service Department Operations, will be held Nov. 4-5, 2013 and will be taught by Mark Martincic.
NTDA says the course will teach how to calculate gross profit return on sales, and operating profit return on gross and sales and compare to profiles to determine if the service department is retaining proper percentages. The workshop also will explain why Work in Progress increases and decreases, and why it is important for the (WIP) balance at month end to agree with the balance in the open Repair Order report, NTDA says. The course also will teach participants how how to calculate hours produced in the shop per day and recognize the impact on technician efficiency, shop productivity, and technician proficiency, NTDA says.

Cindy Krischer Goodman, blogger over at the Miami Herald’s WorkLife Balancing Act, cited a study from Take Back Your Time that discovered that some 28% of Americans took no vacation time at all last year. Five in 10 took a week or less. Another study from Steelcase in 2006 says 49% didn’t take what they had coming to them.
No home officer workers here, apparently.
An interesting turn: some 69% of us here in the States support a paid vacation law; a bunch of those want three weeks or more each year. The obvious question: What the heck would we do with that vacation, since many of us aren’t using the vaca time The Man gave you in the first place.
This isn’t about The Haves whining about not using what they’ve got. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says one in four get no paid vacation. Not surprisingly, around half of men and women said they take work on vacation.
No home officer workers here, apparently.

This updated edition confirms Solnit's seminal work as a timeless classic on politics and change.
At a time when political, environmental and social gloom can seem overpowering, this remarkable work offers a lucid, affirmative and well-argued case for hope. This exquisite work traces a history of activism and social change over the past five decades - from the fall of the Berlin Wall, to the worldwide marches against the war in Iraq.
Hope in the Dark is a paean to optimism in the uncertainty of the twenty-first century. Tracing the footsteps of the last century's thinkers - including Woolf, Gandhi, Borges, Benjamin and Havel - Solnit conjures a timeless vision of cause and effect that will light our way through the dark, and lead us to profound and effective political engagement. | <urn:uuid:e0a7b0c6-372a-48dc-b07c-d3c6bf0c6a96> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://happyvalleyshop.com/products/hope-in-the-dark-untold-histories-wild-possibilities | 2020-05-31T07:42:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347411862.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200531053947-20200531083947-00418.warc.gz | en | 0.893497 | 163 |

In an age of blogging and tweeting, it’s hard to keep a secret.
Though Apple made it quite clear that its latest shareholders meeting was not to be live-blogged, it didn’t stop a couple of shareholders pushing out updates.
According to CNBC, Apple refused to allow journalists to carry in communications devices, thus making live reaction impossible. However, it did manage to run a live-blog of sorts based on the pings of “Cheddarmuff” and “idannyb”. read more | <urn:uuid:ac2dcafa-ebc1-4e35-bc90-3abbe7bd5ca8> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.blogherald.com/tag/press/ | 2014-08-20T12:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500808153.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021328-00169-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945028 | 119 |

TOKYO, July 30, 2019 - Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503, President and CEO: Kenji Yasukawa, Ph.D., “Astellas” ) today announced that it has submitted a supplemental new drug application for the oral androgen receptor signaling inhibitor XTANDI® (generic name: enzalutamide, “XTANDI”) to add the indication for the treatment of men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in Japan. XTANDI is currently indicated for the treatment of men castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in Japan.
The submission is based on results from the Phase 3 ARCHES trial presented at the 2019 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU) in February and published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology. The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of XTANDI plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT plus placebo in men with mHSPC. The primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was met in the study.
Additionally, the submission is supported by data from ENZAMET, an Astellas-supported, investigator-sponsored Phase 3 research study led by the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP) and sponsored by the University of Sydney. The ENZAMET trial evaluated XTANDI plus ADT versus ADT plus a standard nonsteroidal antiandrogen therapy (bicalutamide, nilutamide or flutamide) in men with mHSPC to provide an active control. The results were presented during the Plenary Session at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) was met in the ENZAMET trial. The safety analysis of the ARCHES and ENZAMET trials appear consistent with the safety profile of enzalutamide in previous clinical trials in CRPC.
Enzalutamide is currently indicated for the treatment of CRPC in the U.S. and Europe. Data from the ARCHES and ENZAMET studies have also been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to potentially support an indication for XTANDI that includes men with mHSPC. | <urn:uuid:96aa83bf-f669-4425-86da-e386edf1fca1> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.astellas.com/en/news/14851 | 2021-06-17T08:25:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487629632.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210617072023-20210617102023-00091.warc.gz | en | 0.932086 | 516 |
In a deal which took place in just three weeks, the Scottish Widows Investment Partnership Property Trust has purchased Phase 1 and 2 Lakeside Industrial Estate in Redditch.
Acquisition of 203,510 sq ft
Our Birmingham team secured the acquisition of the 203,510 sq ft industrial estate for £6.4 million, on behalf of SWIPPT/CIAM.
The estate will be managed by CIAM (Centurion Industrial Asset Management), the specialist Asset Management Company owned by Paul Reid and Julian Rooth, which currently manages £70m worth of industrial assets for the trust.
Maximising asset value
Alex Carr, Associate Director in our Birmingham office, said: “This was an ideal industrial investment to acquire as the site was ripe for added value from strategic management. There are multiple opportunities and angles to add value, namely a void, lease renewals, potential for re-gears, and refurbishment, through intensive asset management.”
He added: “Smart asset management combines in-depth knowledge of the local property market with detailed information about the client’s reason for ownership. Analysing the portfolio, strategic refurbishments, environmental improvements and re-gearing of leases all enable the value of a site to be maximised.” | <urn:uuid:41e15851-5b51-4766-b576-db04d1fdcaef> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.lsh.co.uk/commercial-property-news/2010/03/midlands-industrial-estate-acquired-for-scottish-widows-for-64-million | 2017-04-25T22:19:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120881.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00093-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936669 | 263 |

Spot gold edged lower on Monday, retaining most of its gains from the previous session, as a dismal growth outlook after last week's U.S. jobs data supported safe-haven interest in bullion.
U.S. employment growth ground to a halt in August, reviving recession fears and piling pressure on both President Barack Obama and the Federal Reserve to provide more stimulus to aid the frail economy.
The bleak outlook of the world's largest economy sent anxious investors to safe haven assets including bullion.
Even if you take out the effect from the Verizon strike, it is still a lousy number and people are concerned that growth is not there any more, said Dominic Schnider, head of commodity research of UBS Wealth Management in Singapore.
He expected the recession fear to send gold to test its record high above $1,911 hit in late August, and to $2,200 in the next three months.
Technical analysis echoed Schnider's expectations. Spot gold may rise towards the record of $1,911.46 later in the day, as it has resumed its long-term uptrend, said Reuters market analyst Wang Tao.
Spot gold edged down 0.3 percent to $1,878.50 an ounce by 0635 GMT, after surging 3.2 percent in the previous session. U.S. gold inched up 0.2 percent to $1,881.40.
Amid concerns about the resurgent debt crisis in Europe, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso on Monday said he still expected modest growth in Europe and did not anticipate a recession.
The market has been a bit choppy -- some sold to book profit earlier and many are waiting for cues for further stimulus from the Fed, said a Hong Kong-based dealer.
Market participants will also closely watch U.S. President Barack Obama's speech on Sept 7 to unveil new economic proposals to Congress.
The Shanghai Gold Exchange will raise trading limits and margin requirements on its gold and silver forward contracts on Sept. 9 to prevent excessive volatility.
Money managers cut their net long positions in U.S. gold futures and options for a fourth week in a row in the week ended Aug. 30, as bullion prices pulled off an all-time high set a week earlier, data showed on Friday.
Spot platinum hit a two-week high of $1,885.50, before easing to $1,869.
The platinum-gold spread dipped into negative territory on Friday and remained at a discount of $11, which may help increase platinum's appeal to investors. | <urn:uuid:3898c53e-bf86-4f7e-ae8d-016bfdfa9864> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.ibtimes.com/spot-gold-price-slightly-asian-trading-309132 | 2017-01-22T19:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281492.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00065-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941146 | 527 |

Animals, whether cute and cuddly or toothy and dangerous, each come with their own species traits. For example, most people associate foxes as being sly and crafty, while cats are known for being independent and indifferent. The question is, if you were an animal, which one would you be?
The quiz below will reveal, based on your preferences and personality traits, which animal you are.
Maybe you’re wise like an owl, or loyal like a dog. Or are you hyper and vigilant, like a squirrel or chipmunk? Those who are fun and maybe a little sneaky are, according to this quiz, comparable to something a bit surprising—a bat!
So, which animal most closely matches your personality? Even if you see yourself as a reclusive cat or friendly dog, your results might still surprise you. There are often facets of our own personalities we tend to overlook. While you might see yourself as an owl, you may have an inner fox dwelling inside of you!
Find out your animal personality now by taking this fun and simple quiz! | <urn:uuid:a0be6ad2-a35f-4d55-9d80-c82727f55dc2> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.davidwolfe.com/quiz-reveal-animal-personality/ | 2019-08-24T07:00:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027319915.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824063359-20190824085359-00420.warc.gz | en | 0.971247 | 222 |

Being a parent has never been easy, as you try your utmost to give your children the best upbringing you can, and turn them into successful and responsible adults.
These days, parenting has a whole new dimension and its difficulties – digital parenting, which forms just as an important part of your duties as a parent as teaching your children the difference between right and wrong.
In fact, new research from Kaspersky Lab and B2B International revealed that almost half (47%) of parents in South Africa believing that the threats facing their children online (such as cyberbullying and exposure to inappropriate content) are increasing. However, the respondents also admitted that only 38% actually guide their children by talking to them about the potential threats; and 24% of adults do nothing to protect their kids from Internet threats. These statistics need to change.
Even State Security Minister David Mahlobo says parents should keep a close eye on their children’s social media activity, admitting that he monitors the sites that his own children visit: “We give our children all these gadgets. We just have to be vigilant. Parents must be more watchful,” he says.
When it comes to digital parenting, it’s important to be involved in your children’s technological lives right from the start. Be there when they receive their first digital devices, guide them as they create social media profiles, and advise all along about what kind of online behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable, just as you would for other aspects of their lives.
Getting involved in your children’s digital lives opens the door for constructive discussion about what goes on online, which is one of the most important ways to ensure that your children stay safe and grow up as good digital citizens.
In this section of the site, we’ll help you as parents to navigate the maze of digital parenting, providing advice along your children’s online journeys; from ages 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, and 14+. Parents need not be powerless – you’ll find that there are many simple yet positive things you can do to protect the young people in your care. | <urn:uuid:0dd04b6b-5807-45e4-8df4-3483654f198e> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://saferinternetsouthafrica.co.za/topics/parental-advice/ | 2021-05-13T14:30:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989814.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210513142421-20210513172421-00327.warc.gz | en | 0.968351 | 438 |

Woman held in death of baby found hidden at Christian school
Jessica Nicole Bradford, 23, kept the baby hidden after she was born Sept. 19 and allegedly neglected the infant, who died four days later, the Shasta County Sheriff's Department said.
"Bradford admitted she neglected to care for the baby by not feeding it or being able to provide breast milk for feeding," Sgt. Steve Grashoff said in a statement.
Bradford made a court appearance Wednesday, but she did not enter a plea and was assigned a public defender, according to online Shasta County Superior Court records.
After the baby died, Bradford allegedly hid the body in a laundry basket in a vacant room at the Julian Youth Academy, a Christian boarding school for troubled teens in Whitmore, where she worked, according to the Sheriff's Department. The body was found about six weeks later by a worker at the school.
Bradford allegedly told investigators that she checked on the infant periodically and gave her water when she cried. The department said Bradford kept her pregnancy secret, including from her boyfriend of three years "because she did not want to affect his life and her life."

Yo La Tengo, ‘I’ll Be Around’ – New Video
Subscribe to Diffuser.fm on
Yo La Tengo‘s new ‘I’ll Be Around’ video looks like a lyric video — words appear and fade away pretty much in time with the lyrics to the song — but upon closer inspection, it quickly becomes clear that the words on the screen mostly aren’t the ones frontman Ira Kaplan is singing (and that for some reason Kaplan isn’t even the one pictured singing in the clip — that would be Mac McCaughan of the band Superchunk).
We’re honestly not sure where most the words come from, but we did recognize lines from some classic YLT jams like ‘Autumn Sweater’ and ‘Deeper Into Movies.’ Accompanying the lines is a recipe for spicy tortilla soup. Maybe Yo La Tengo are getting ready to publish a cookbook? We’d totally buy a YLT cookbook! Overall, the Phil Morrison-directed (he’s the guy who directed ‘Junebug’) clip is a bit puzzling, but it’s a nice companion piece for ‘I’ll Be Around,’ a sublime single off Tengo’s new ‘Fade’ album. | <urn:uuid:535df171-3ac2-418f-a2a7-9f5cd46f2f1e> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://diffuser.fm/yo-la-tengo-ill-be-around-video/ | 2016-08-27T17:38:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982924605.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200844-00070-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.900554 | 288 |

Kigali, 30 April 2013-Continuing her submission to the Supreme Court, Mrs Ingabire told the Court that it is the duty of the Party she leads FDU-Inkingi to point out what is going wrong with government policies so that they are able to correct them. She said that it was sad that someone could be thrown in jail because he/she has criticised government policies. She added that it was time the government stopped considering those who criticise it as enemies but take them as people who are keen to build their country. The solution to the problem that the country is facing, she said, can only be solved through dialogue and political debate. She stated that as long as the regime continues to refuse such a dialogue and political debate and throws anyone who tries to point out what is wrong with government, she would consider the regime to be dictatorial.
The prosecution is appealing against three things: the High Court’s decision to clear Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza of the charge of forming an armed group and of spreading rumours intended to turn the population against the government and the High Court verdict to reduce her sentence.
With regard to the 1st account, Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza pointed out that the Prosecution had failed to provide evidence to prove that the armed group ever existed, what it did and the role that she had in inciting its creation. Victoire added that the evidence that she produced before the court demonstrated that the idea was hatched by the CID and the prosecution, in collaboration with Major Uwumuremyi Vital. She added that the High Court had rightly cleared her because of lack of evidence from the prosecution.
The charge relating to spreading rumours intended to turn the population against the government had been based on three things namely what Victoire Ingabire said in her interviews with journalists, her writings and her speech at the airport. What the Prosecution did was to pick a few words she had said or written and took them out of context to pin her down. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza told the court that FDU-Inkingi decided to come to operate in Rwanda because of the problems facing the country and the Prosecution has not proved the contrary of what she said or wrote. She said: “the High Court cleared me of the charge of spreading rumours intended to turn the population against the government because the Court was convinced that my criticism was not intended to turn the population against the government and that we did not just show what is wrong but also suggested solutions”
With regards to the appeal of the Prosecution relating to the reduction of her sentence, she said that the verdict of the High Court was reached in line with the law and based on the evidence presented to the court by the Prosecution.
Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza made it crystal clear that the letter she sent to the Head of State was not to beg presidential pardon. She was responding to government officials who had been asking her to hold discussion but had replied that she could not hold discussions while she was still in prison.
The court sessions will resume on the 8th of May 2013 when the defence of Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza will present its submissions.

Let’s dive into one rule of thumb home sellers often use when pricing their homes for sale. It’s a good rule of thumb but it’s only half right.
Let’s start high because we can always lower the price later.
The idea is to price your home high to start and then lower the price until you find the highest price at which it will sell.
It’s generally a good rule of thumb but you have 3 problems.
PROBLEM 1 – Pricing Yourself Out of the Best Market
First week is best week. Homes that go under contract to buyers the first week on the market have a very strong tendency to sell for full list price. Yep, full list price.
I looked at all non-distressed, single family detached homes sold in 2014 via the metro Phoenix MLS (57,702 home sales) and found the median (typical) sale price was the full list price for homes that went under contract to buyers the first week on the market.
I have a full post on this but the important point is that buyers are much more willing to pay full list price when houses first hit the market because buyers know they have a lot of competition from other buyers the first week and they fear losing the home to other buyers.
After homes have been on the market for a while without being sold, buyers quickly lose their fear of losing the home to other buyers and negotiate a lot harder on price.
If you price your home too high to begin with, the typical buyer won’t make an offer on it. Buyers look at your list price and estimate your bottom line price. If buyers think your bottom line price is too high – because your list price is too high – the typical buyer won’t make an offer on your house regardless of what your actual bottom line price is.
BTW, it’s common for homes to sell the first week on the market. More home sold (went under contract) their first week on the market than any other week.
PROBLEM 2 – You Lose Negotiating Leverage
Sellers lose negotiating leverage fast, and then slow. Home sellers lose a lot of negotiation leverage after a home has been on the market a week or 10 days. Then home sellers lose negotiating leverage slowly as the home stays on the market unsold.
Fast. As mentioned above, the typical home buyer will pay full list price when they buy a home that had been on the market for a week or less.
But by the time the home has been on the market for 3 weeks, that seller’s advantage is completely lost and buyers are typically able to negotiate the price down 2% from the list price.
Slow. After that, the sellers negotiating leverage continues to fade but slowly. If a home has been on the market for 4 months, buyers are typically able to negotiate the price down 2.5% from the list price.
PROBLEM 3 – The Longer Your Home is On the Market, the More You Need to Lower the Price to Get Offers
Buyers key on how long a home has been on the market almost as much as they key on price.
The first 2 questions buyers typically ask about a house are, “What’s the price?” and “How long’s it been on the market?”
Same house, same price, but very different. Buyers will think of the same house with the same price entirely differently if the house has been on the market 4 months versus 4 days.
The longer your home is on the market;
- The more you need to lower the price to get buyers to make offers, and
- The less negotiating leverage you have with buyers once you do get an offer.
Combine those 2 effects and you get this chart.
Typical Reduction in Final Sales Price from Original List Price by Weeks on the Market
Typical Reduction in Final Sales Price from Final List Price by Months on the Market
Note: These charts are of sold homes. Normally, about 20% of listings in the MLS are so overpriced they fail to sell at all.
Problem in a Nutshell
Goal. This rule of thumb tells you to start high and lower your price until you find the highest price at which your home will sell.
Problem. The problem is the highest price at which your home will sell is likely to be thousands of dollars less if it sells, for example, during its 4th month on the market instead of its 4th week or its 4th day.
1) Get clear on your home’s value
Get as clear as you can be about the fair market value of your home before you put it up for sale. That way you’re less likely to overprice it too much and cause it to languish unsold on the market losing value.
Appraiser. Hire an appraiser if you’re uncertain about your home’s value. It will likely save you a lot of time and make you money.
Real estate agent. Be aware that some agents will pitch you a high list price because they know you’re very likely to hire the agent that pitches you the highest list price.
2) Adjust your price fast
Time is money. Don’t wait 2 months to lower the price on your unsold house. I suggest lowering the list price every 3 weeks, every 4 weeks at the most.
5-Week Rule. Half the single family, non-distressed homes that ended up selling in metro Phoenix in 2014 were under contract within 5 weeks of hitting the market. If your house isn’t under contract by the 5th week, it’s taking you longer than it takes most people.
Invisible price cuts. A series of 1% price cuts won’t cut it. At that rate, it could take you many months before you get an offer while your likely sales price is falling the entire time.
Don’t overprice your home too much. Lower your price fast.
Ideally, right out of the gate you price your house close enough to fair market value that the list price doesn’t scare off potential buyers and you get offers the first week it’s on the market when your negotiating leverage and likely sale price are highest.
2% Rule. If I wanted to get the first-week premium price, I wouldn’t price a home more than 2% above its appraised value or a brutally honest estimate of its fair market value.
Hot markets. Hot markets like San Francisco and Seattle right now often take a different direction. In hot markets, sellers often price homes on the LOW end of market value to encourage multiple offers and competitive bidding (kind of like a slow motion auction) and to try and get the house under contract the first week it’s on the market.
Luxury homes. Luxury homes typically take a lot longer to sell and are an entirely different animal.

We of this Society at least know the beauty of the weathered and time-worn surface of an ancient building, and have all of us felt the grief of seeing this surface disappear under the hands of a "restorer;" but though we all feel this deeply enough, some of us perhaps may be puzzled to explain to the outside world the full value of this ancient surface. It is not merely that it is in itself picturesque and beautiful, though that is a great deal; neither is it only that there is a sentiment attaching to the very face which the original builders gave their work, but dimly conscious all the while of the many generations which should gaze on it; it is only a part of its value that the stones are felt to be, as Mr. Ruskin beautifully puts it, speaking of some historic French building, now probably changed into an academic model of its real self, that they are felt to be "the very stones which the eyes of St. Louis saw lifted into their places." That sentiment is much, but it is not all; nay, it is but a part of the especial value to which I wish to-day to call your attention, which value briefly is, that the untouched surface of ancient architecture bears witness to the development of man's ideas, to the continuity of history, and, so doing, affords never-ceasing instruction, nay education, to the passing generations, not only telling us what were the aspirations of men passed away, but also what we may hope for in the time to come.
You all know what a different sprit has animated history in these latter days from that which used to be thought enough to give it interest to thinking men. Time was, and not so long ago, when the clever essay writer (rather than historian) made his history surrounded by books whose value he weighed rather by the degree in which they conformed to an arbitrary standard of literary excellence, than by any indications they might give of being able to afford a glimpse into the past. So treated, the very books were not capable of yielding the vast stores of knowledge of history which they really possessed, if dealt with by the historical method. It is true that for the most part these books were generally written for other purposes than that of giving simple information to those to come after; at their honestest the writers were compelled to look on life through the spectacles thrust on them by the conventional morality of their own times; at their dishonestest, they were servile flatterers in the pay of the powers that were. Nevertheless, though the art of lying has always been sedulously cultivated by the world, and especially by that part of it which lives on the labour of others, it is an art which few people attain to in its perfection, and the honest man by the use of sufficient diligence can generally manage to see through the veil of sophistry into the genuine life which exists in those written records of the past; nay, the very lies themselves, being for the most part of a rough and simple nature, can often be dissolved and precipitated, so to say, into historical substance, into negative evidence of facts.
But the academical historians of whom I have spoken were not fitted for the task; they themselves were cursed with a fatal though unconscious dishonesty; the world of history which they pictured to themselves was an unreal one; to them there were but two periods of continuous order, of organised life: the period of Greek and Roman classical history was one, the time from the development of the retrospection into that period till their own days was the other; all else to them was mere accidental confusion, strange tribes and clans with whom they had no relation, jostling against one another for no purpose save that of a herd of bisons; all the thousands of years devoid of creation, laden only with mere obstruction, and out of that, as I said, two periods of perfection, leaping fully equipped like Pallas from the brain of Zeus. A strange conception, truly, of the history of the "famous men and our fathers that begat us," but one which could not hold out long against the natural developmentof knowledge and society. The mists of pedantry slowly lifted and showed a different picture; inchoate order in the remotest times, varying indeed among different races and countries, but swayed always by the same laws, moving forward ever towards something that seems the very opposite of that which it started from, and yet the earlier order never dead but living in the new, and slowly moulding it to a recreation of its former self. How different a spirit such a view of history must create it is not difficult to see. No longer shallow mockery at the failures and follies of the past, from a standpoint of so-called civilisation, but deep sympathy with its half-conscious aims, from amidst the difficulties and shortcomings that we are only too sadly conscious of to-day; that is the new spirit of history; knowledge I would fain think has brought us humility, and humility hope of that perfection which we are obviously so far short of.
Now, further, as to the instruments of this new knowledge of history, were they not chiefly two: study of language and study of archaeology? that is, of the expression of men's ideas by means of speech, and by means of handiwork, in other words the record of man's creative deeds. Of the first of these instruments, deeply as I am interested in it, and especially on the side which, tending towards comparative mythology, proclaims so clearly the unity of mankind, of this I lack the knowledge to speak, even if I had the time; on the second, archaeology, I am bound to speak, as it is above all things the function of our Society to keep before people's eyes its importance as an instrument of the study of history, which does in very truth lead us towards the solution of all the social and political problems over which men's minds are busied.
I am all the more bound to speak on this subject because, in spite of the ascendency which the new spirit of history has over cultivated minds, we must not forget that many minds are uncultivated, and in them the pedantic spirit still bears sway; and you will understand that when I speak of uncultivated minds, I am not thinking of the lower classes, as we civilly, but too truly, call them, but of many of those who are in responsible positions, and responsible especially as to the guardianship of our ancient buildings; indeed, to meet one conceivable objection, I can understand a man saying that the half-ignorant, half-instructed, and wholly pedantic way of dealing with an ancient building is historical also, and I can admit some logic in the objection; destruction is, alas! one of the forms of growth; indeed those pedantic historians I have been speaking of had their share also in history, and it is a curious question, which I cannot follow at present, as to how far their destructive pedantry was a sign of strength as compared with our reasonable research and timidity; I say that I cannot follow this question up, though I think it would lead to conclusions astonishing to some people, and so will content myself with saying that if the narrowness, the vulgarity of mind (I know no other word), which deals with our ancient monuments, as if Art had no past and is to have no future, be an historical development (and I don't gainsay it), so also is the spirit which animates us to resist that vulgarity - "for this among the rest was I ordained."
Now, I am sure that, so far I have carried you with me as members of our Society; you cannot doubt that in one way or other the surface of an ancient building, the handling of the old handicraftsman that is, is most valuable and worthy of preservation, and I am sure also that we all feel instinctively that it cannot be reproduced at the present day; that the attempt at reproduction not only deprives us of a monument of history, but also of a work of art. In what follows I have to attempt the task of showing you that this impossibility of reproduction is not accidental, but is essential to the conditions of life at the present day; that it is caused by the results of all past history, and not by a passing taste or fashion of the time; and that consequently no man, and no body of men, however learned they may be in ancient art, whatever skill in design or love of beauty they may have, can persuade, or bribe,or force our workmen of to-day to do their work in the same way as the workmen of King Edward I. did theirs. Wake up Theoderic the Goth from his sleep of centuries, and place him on the throne of Italy; turn our modern House of Commons into the Witenagemote (or meeting of the wise men) of King Alfred the Great; no less a feat is the restoration of an ancient building.
Now, in order to show you that this is necessary and inevitable, I am compelled very briefly to touch upon the conditions under which handiwork has been produced from the classical times onward; in doing so I cannot avoid touching on certain social problems, on the solution of which some of you may differ from me. In that case I ask you to remember that though the Committee has ordered me to read this paper to you, it cannot be held responsible for any opinions outside the principles advocated in its published documents. The Society should not be regarded as dangerous, except, perhaps, to the amusement of certain country parsons and squires, and their wives and daughters.
Well, it must be admitted that every architectural work is a work of co-operation. The very designer, be he never so original, pays his debt to this necessity in being in some form or another under the influence of tradition; dead men guide his hand even when he forgets that they ever existed. But, furthermore, he must get his ideas carried out by other men; no man can build a building with his own hands; every one of those men depends for the possibility of even beginning his work on someone else; each one is but part of a machine; the parts may be but machines themselves, or they may be intelligent, but in either case must work in subordination to the general body. It is clear that men so working must be influenced in their work by their conditions of life, and the man who organises their labour must make up his mind that he can only get labour of a kind which those conditions have bred. To expect enthusiasm for good workmanship from men who for two generations have been accustomed by the pressure of circumstances to work slovenly would be absurd; to expect consciousness of beauty from men who for ten generations have not be allowed to produce beauty, more absurd still. The workmanship of every piece of co-operative work must belong to its period, and be characteristic of it. Understand this clearly, which I now put in another form: all architectural work must be co-operative; in all co-operative work the finished wares can be no better in quality than the lowest, or simplest, or widest grade, which is also the most essential, will allow them to be. The kind and quality of that work, the work of the ordinary handicraftsman, is determined by the social conditions under which he lives, which differ much from age to age.
Let us then try to see how they have differed, and glance at the results to Art of that difference; during which inquiry we shall have much more to do with the developed Middle Ages, with the work of which our Society is chiefly concerned, than with any other period.
In the classical period industrial production was chiefly carried on by slaves, whose persons and work alike belonged to their employers, and who were sustained at just such standard of life as suited the interests of the said employers. It was natural that under these circumstances industrialism should be despised, but under Greek civilisation, at least, ordinary life for the free citizens, the aristocracy in fact, was simple, the climate was not exacting of elaborate work for the purposes of clothing and shelter, the race was yet young, vigorous, and physically beautiful. The aristocracy, therefore, freed from the necessity of rough and exhausting work by their possession of chattel slaves, who did all that for them, and little oppressed with anxieties for their livelihood, had, in spite of the constant brawling and piracy which forms their external history, both inclination and leisure to cultivate the higher intellectual arts within the limits which their natural love of matter of fact and hatred of romance prescribed to them; the lesser arts, meantime, being kept in rigid, and indeed slavish subordination to them as was natural. May I break off here to ask you to consider,in case any Athenian gentleman had attempted to build a Gothic cathedral in the days of Pericles, what sort of help he would have had from the slave labour of the day, and what kind of Gothic they would have produced for him?
Well, the ideal of art established by the intellect of the Greeks with such splendid and overwhelming success lasted throughout the whole Roman period also, in spite of the invention and use of the arch in architecture, or rather in building; and side by side with it chattel slavery, under somewhat changed conditions, produced the ordinary wares of life; the open-mouthed contempt for the results of industrial production expressed by the pedant Pliny, whether it were genuine or artificially deduced from the conventionalities of philosophy, well illustrates the condition of the slave-produced lesser arts of the later classical period.
Meantime, and while Pliny was alive, the intellectual arts of classical times had long fallen from their zenith, and had to wade through weary centuries of academicalism, from which they were at last redeemed by no recurrence of individual genius to the earlier and human period, but by the break-up of classical society itself; which involved the change of chattel slavery, the foundation of classical society, into serfdom or villeinage, on which the feudal system was based. The period of barbarism or disorder between the two periods of order was long doubtless, but the new order rose out of it at last bright and clear; and in place of the system of aristocratic citizen and chattel slave without rights, dominated by the worship of the city, which was the ideal, the religion of classic society, was formed a system of personal duties and rights, personal service and protection in subordination to a priori ideas of mankind's duties to and claims from the unseen powers of the universe. No doubt, as was natural in this hierarchical system, the religious houses, whose distinct duty it was to hold the hierarchical ideal up as a banner amongst imperfect men, fulfilled towards the arts in the earlier Middle Ages, amidst the field-serfs and their lords, the function which in classical times the cultivated Greek free man fulfilled amidst his crowd of enslaved menials. But the serf was in a very different condition from the chattel slave; for, certain definite duties being performed for his lord, he was (in theory at least) at liberty to earn his living as he best could within the limits of his manor. The chattel slave, as an individual, had the hope of manumission, but collectively there was no hope for him but in the complete and mechanical overturn of the society which was founded on his subjection. The serf, on the other hand, was, by the conditions of his labour, forced to strive to better himself as an individual, and collectively soon began to acquire rights amidst the clashing rights of king, lord, and burgher. Also, quite early in the Middle Ages, a new and mighty force began to germinate for the help of labour, the first signs of secular combination among free men, producers, and distributors.
The guilds, whose first beginning in England dates from before the Norman Conquest, although they fully recognised the hierarchical conditions of society, and were indeed often in early times mainly religious in their aims, did not spring from ecclesiasticism, nay, in all probability, had their roots in that part of the European race which had not known of Rome and her institutions in the days of her temporal domination. England and Denmark were the foremost countries in the development of the guilds, which took root latest and most feebly in the Latinised countries.
The spirit of combination spread; the guilds, which at first had been rather benefit societies or clubs than anything else, soon developed into bodies for the protection and freedom of commerce, and rapidly became powerful under the name of merchant guilds; in the height of their power there formed under them another set of guilds, whose object was the regulation and practice of the crafts in freedom from feudal exactions. The older merchants guilds resisted these newer institutions; so much so that in Germany there was bloody and desperate war between them; the great revolt of Ghent, you will remember as anillustration of this hostility, was furthered by the lesser crafts, as Froissart calls them; and again remember that Ghent, the producing city, was revolutionary, Bruges, the commercial one, reactionary. In England the merchant guilds changed in a more peaceable manner, and became in the main the corporations of the towns, and the craft-guilds took their definite place as regulators and protectors of all handicrafts. By the beginning of the fourteenth century the supremacy of the craft-guilds was complete, and at that period at least their constitution was thoroughly democratic; mere journeymen there were none, the apprentices were sure, as a matter of course, to take their places as masters of their craft when they learned it.
Now before we go on to consider the decline and fall of the guilds, let us look at the way in which the craftsmen worked at that period: and first a word as to his conditions of life: for I must tell you very briefly that he lived, however roughly, yet at least far easier than his successor does now. He worked for no master save the public, he made his wares from beginning to end himself, and sold them himself to the man who was going to use them. This was the case at least with nearly all, if not all, the goods made in England; some of the rarer goods, such as silk cloth, did come into the chaffering market, which had to be the case all the more for this, that the materials of any country were chiefly wrought into goods close to their birthplace. But even in the cases of these rarer goods they were made primarily for home consumption, and only the overplus came into the hands of the merchant; concerning which latter you must also remember that he was not a mere gambler in the haphazard of supply and demand as he is today, but an indispensable distributor of goods; he was paid for his trouble in bringing goods from a place where there was more than was needed of them to a country where there was not enough, and that was all; the laws against forestallers and regraters give an idea of how this matter of commerce was looked on in the Middle Ages, as commerce, viz, not profitmongering. A forestaller was a man who bought up produce to hold it for a rise, a regrater, a man who bought and sold in the same market or within five miles of it. On the advantages of the forestaller to the community it is scarcely necessary to dwell, I think: as to the regrater, it was the view of the benighted people of the Middle Ages that a man who bought, say, a hundred-weight of cheese for 2d. a pound at nine in the morning and sold it at eleven for 3d. was not a specially useful citizen. I confess I am sufficiently old-fashioned and conservative to agree with them on that head, although I cannot help perceiving that all "business," properly so called, is now forestalling and regrating, and that we are all the slaves of those delightful and simple professions - so that the criminals of one age have become the benevolent masters of the next.
Well, anyhow, it followed from this direct intercourse between the maker and the consumer of goods, that the public in general were good judges of manufactured wares, and, in consequence, that the art, or religion rather, of adulteration was scarcely know; at least, it was easy to win the fame of a confessor, if not a martyr, of that noble creed.
Now, as to the manner of work, there was little or no division of labour in each craft; that I think is some mitigation of the evil - for I look upon it as such, of a man being bound down to one craft for his life long (as he is now also) - some mitigation, because, after all, there was plenty of variety in the work of a man who made the whole of a piece of goods himself, instead of making always one little piece of a piece. Also you must note that the freemen of the guilds had their share in the pasture lands of the country, as every free man at least had. Port Meadow, at Oxford, for instance, was the communal pasture of the freemen of that city.
These were the conditions of life and work of the English craftsmen of the fourteenth century. I suppose most of us have declined to accept the picture of him which we have had presented to us by the half ignorant and wholly misleading pedants of whom I have spokenbefore. We who have studied the remains of his handicrafts have been, without any further research, long instinctively sure that he was no priest-ridden, down-trodden savage, but a thoughtful and vigorous man, and in some sense, at least, free. That instinct had been abundantly confirmed by painstaking collectors of facts, like Mr. Thorold Rogers, and we now know that the guild craftsman led the sort of life in work and play that we should have expected from the art he produced. He worked, not for the profit of a master, but for his own livelihood, which, I repeat, he did not find it difficult to earn, so that he had a good deal of leisure, and being master of his time, his tools, and his material, was not bound to turn out his work shabbily, but could afford to amuse himself by giving it artistic finish; how different that is from [the] mechanical or trade finish some of us, at least, have learned - maybe, by the way of Weeping Cross. Well, that artistic finish or ornament was not venal, it was given freely to the public, who, I rather think, paid for it by interest in and sympathy for the work itself, which, indeed, I consider a good payment in times when a man could live otherwise without payment more gross and material. For here I must make the confession that what is called in modern slang the "wages of genius," were much neglected by the builders of our ancient buildings; for art, as Mr. Thorold Rogers justly says, was widespread; the possession of some skill in it was the rule and not the exception. As a rule, those who could afford to pay for a building, were able to do the necessary planning and designing, obviously because they would naturally find help and harmonious intelligence among the men they had to employ. For instance, the tower of Merton College Chapel at Oxford was carried out by ordinary masons, under the superintendence of the Fellows of the College. Well, judging from the wretched tinkering that the present Fellows have allowed to be perpetuated on their beautiful succursal house, St. Albans' Hall, I would not venture to trust the present most respectable Fellows of that ancient House with such a job now.
So it followed from this widespread skill in the arts, that those poor wretches who had skill and taste beyond their fellow-workmen, and who in consequence had pleasanter work than they, had to put up with a very moderate additional wage, and in some cases with nothing additional; it seems they could not make good the claim now preferred for that much sinned against - and much sinning - company, men of genius, that the conformation of their stomachs and the make of their skin is different from that of other men, and that consequently they want more to eat and drink and different raiment from their fellows. In most sober earnest, when we hear it said, as it often is said, that extra money payment is necessary under all circumstances to produce great works of art, and that men of special talent will not use those talents without being bribed by mere gross material advantages, we, I say, shall know what to reply. We can appeal to the witness of those lovely works still left us, whose unknown, unnamed creators were content to give them to the world, with little more extra wages than what their pleasure in their work and their sense of usefulness in it might bestow on them.
Well, I must now say that it seems to me that a body of artificers, so living as we have seen, and so working, with simple machines or instruments, of which they were complete masters, had very great advantages for the production of architectural art, using that word at its widest; and that one would, reasoning a priori, expect to find in their work that thoughtfulness and fertility of resource that blended freedom and harmonious co-operation, which, as a matter of fact, we do find in it. Nevertheless, in spite of this free intelligence of the medieval workman, or even because of it, he was still compelled to work only as a tradition would allow him to do. If it could ever have occurred to any man's mind to build some Parthenon or Erectheum by the banks of [the] Thames, or Warfe, or Wensum, in the fourteenth century, how far do you think his fellow-workman's skill would have been able to second his folly?
But we must leave the fourteenth century awhile, and hurry on in our tale of the workman's lot. I have said that the constitution of the craft guild was at first thoroughly democratic or fraternal, but it did not long remain so. As the towns grew bigger and population flowed to them from the enfranchised field-serfs and other sources, the old craftsmen began to form a separate and privileged class in the guilds with their privileged apprentices, and the journeyman at last made his appearance. After a while the journeymen attempted to form guilds under the master crafts, as the latter had done under the merchant guilds; but the economic conditions of the time tended now more and more towards manufacturing for a profit, beat them, and they failed. Nevertheless, the conditions of work did not change much, the masters were checked by laws in favour of the journeymen, and wages rather rose than fell all through the fifteenth century; nor did division of labour begin till much later; everywhere the artisan was still an artist.
The beginning of the great change came with the Tudors in the first quarter of the sixteenth century, during which time England, from being a country of tillage cultivated for livelihood, became a grazing country farmed for profit. He who runs may read the tale of this change and its miseries in the writings of More and Latimer. All I need say about it here is, that it had a very direct influence upon the conditions of life and manner of work of the artisans, for the crafts were now flooded by the crowds of landless men, who had nothing but the force of their bodies to live upon, and were obliged to sell that force day by day for what those would give them who certainly would not buy the article labour unless they could make a profit by it. The brutal rapine with which the change of religion in England was carried out; the wanton destruction of our public buildings which accompanied the stealing of our public lands, doubtless played its part in degrading what art was still possible under the new conditions of labour.
But the Reformation itself was but one of the aspects of the new spirit of the time produced by great economical changes, and which dealt with art and its creator, labour, for more completely than any series of accidents could do, however momentous they might be. The change in the conditions of labour went on speedily, though there was still a good deal of what may be called domestic manufacture: the workmen in the towns got to be more dependent on their employers, more and more mere journeymen, and a great change was coming over the manner of their work; the mere collection of them into big workshops under one master, in itself merely gave economy of space, rent, fire, lighting, and the rest, but it was the prelude to a much greater change; division of labour now began, and speedily gained head. Under the old medieval conditions the unit of labour was a master craftsman who knew his business from beginning to end; such help as he had was from mere apprentices who were learning their business, and were not doomed to life-long service. But with the new system of master and men came this change, that the unit of production was a group, each member of which depended on every one of the others, and was helpless without them. Under this system, called the division of labour system, a man may be, and often is, condemned for the whole of his life to make the insignificant portion of an insignificant article of the market. I use the present tense, because this system of division of labour is still going on side by side with the last development of manufacturing for profit, of which more anon.
Now, it is necessary for you to understand that the birth and growth of this division of labour system was no mere accident, was not the result, I mean, of some passing and inexplicable fashion which caused men to desire the kind of work which could be done by such means; it was caused by the economical changes which forced men to produce no longer for a livelihood as they used to do, but for a profit. Almost all goods, all except those made in the most domestic way, had now got to go through the market before they reached theusers' hands. They were made for sale, not primarily for use, and when I say "they," I mean the whole of them; the art in them as well as their mere obvious utility was now become a marketable article, doled out according to the necessities of the capitalist who employed both machine-workman and designer, fettered by the needs of profit; for by this time, you understand, the division of labour had so worked, that instead of all workmen being artists, as they once were, they were divided into workmen who were not artists, and artists who were not workmen.
This change was complete, or nearly so, by the middle of the eighteenth century: it is not necessary for me to trace the gradual degradation of the arts from the fifteenth century to this point. Suffice it to say that it was steady and certain; only where men were more or less outside the great stream of civilisation, where life was rude, and production wholly domestic, did the art produced retain any signs of human pleasure: elsewhere pedantry reigned supreme. The picture-painters who were wont to show us, as through windows opened by them, the longings and lives of the saints and heroes, nay, the very heavens and city of God hanging over the earthly city of their love, were turned, what few of them were aught else than pretentious daubers, into courtly flatterers of ill-favoured fine ladies and stupid supercilious lords. As for the architectural arts, what could you expect to get of them from a set of human machines, co-operating indeed, but only for speed and precision of production, and designed for at best by pedants who despised the life of man, and at worst by mechanical drudges, little better in any way than the luckless workmen? Whatever might be expected, nothing was got but that mass of foolish toys and costly ministrations to luxury and ostentation, which has since those days been most worthily contemned under the name of upholstery.
Is that the end of the story of the degradation of the arts? No, there is another act to the drama; worse or better according as to whether you are contented to accept it as final, or have been stimulated to discontent, that is, hope for something better. I have told you how the workman was reduced to a machine, I have still to tell you how he has been pushed down from even that giddy eminence of self-respect.
At the close of the eighteenth century England was a country that manufactured among other countries that manufactured: her manufactures were still secondary to her merely country life, and were mixed up with it; in fifty years all that was changed, and England was the manufacturing country of the world - the workshop of the world, often so called with much pride by her patriotic sons. Now this strange and most momentous revolution was brought about by the machinery which the chances and changes of the world, too long a tale even to hint at here, forced on our population. You must think of this great machine industry as though on the one hand merely the full development of the effects of producing for profit instead of livelihood, which began in Sir Thomas More's time, yet on the other as a revolutionary change from that of the mere division of labour. The exigencies of my own work have driven me to dig pretty deeply into the strata of the eighteenth-century workshop system, and I could clearly see how very different it is from the factory system of to-day, with which it is commonly confounded; therefore it was with a ready sympathy that I read the full explanation of the change and its tendencies in the writings of a man, I will say a great man, whom, I suppose, I ought not to name in this company, and who cleared my mind on several points (also unmentionable here) relating to this subject of labour and its products. But this at least I must say, that whereas under the eighteenth-century division of labour system, a man was compelled to work for ever at a trifling piece of work in a base mechanical way, which, also, in that base way he understood, under the system of the factory and almost automatic machine under which we now live, he may change his work often enough, may be shifted from machine to machine, and scarcely know that he isproducing anything at all: in other words, under the eighteenth-century system he was reduced to a machine; under that of the present day he is the slave of a machine. It is the machine which bids him what to do on pain of death by starvation. Yes, and by no means metaphorically so; the machine, for instance, can, if it pleases, if it chooses to hurry, make him walk thirty miles a day instead of twenty, and send him to the workhouse if he refuses.
Now if you ask me ('tis a by question) which is the worst off, the machine workman of the eighteenth century or the slave to the machine of the nineteenth, I am bound to say that I think the former is. If I gave you my reasons, few of you would agree with me, and I am not sure that you would allow me to finish this discourse: at any rate they are somewhat complicated. But the question as to which set of workmen produced the better work can be answered with little complication. The machine workman had to be well skilled in his contemptible task at least, the slave to the machine needs but little skill, and, as a matter of fact, his place has been taken by women and children, and what skill is needed in the work goes in the overlooking of the labours of these latter. In short, the present system of the factory and its dominating machine tends to doing away with skilled labour altogether.
Here, then, is a strange contrast, which I most seriously invite you to consider, between the craftsman of the Middle Ages and him of to-day. The medieval man sets to work at his own time, in his own house; probably makes his tool, instrument, or simple machine himself, even before he gets on to his web, or his lump of clay, or what not. What ornament there shall be on his finished work he himself determines, and his mind and hand designs it and carries it out; tradition, that is to say the minds and thoughts of all workmen gone before, this, in its concrete form of the custom of his craft, does indeed guide and help him; otherwise he is free. Nor must we forget that even if he lives in a town, the fields and sweet country come close up to his house, and he at whiles occupies himself in working in them, and more than once or twice in his life he has had to take the bow or brown-bill from the wall, and run his chance of meeting the great secret face to face in the ranks of battle; oftenest, indeed, in other men's quarrels, yet sometimes in his own, nor wholly unsuccessfully then.
But he who has taken his place, how does he work and live? Something of that we all know. There he has to be at the factory-gates by the time the bell rings, or he is fined or "sent to grass." Nay, not always will the factory-gate open to him; unless the master, controlled himself by a market of which he knows little and the hand nothing, allows him space to work in and a machine to work at, he must turn back and knock about the streets, as many thousands are doing to-day in England. But suppose him there, happy before his machine; up and down he has to follow it, day in, day out, and what thoughts he has must be given to something else than his work. I repeat, 'tis as much as he can do to know what thing the machine (not he) is making. Design and ornament, what has he to do with that? Why, he may be tending a machine, which makes a decent piece of work, or, on the other hand, may be an accomplice (a very small one) in turning out a blatant piece of knavery and imposture; he will get as much wages for one as the other, nor will one or other be in the least degree within his control. All the religion, morality, philanthropy, and freedom of the nineteenth century, will not help him to escape that disgrace. Need I say how and where he lives? Lodged in a sweltering dog-hole, with miles and miles of similar dog-holes between him and the fair fields of the country, which in grim mockery is called "his." Sometimes on holidays, bundled out by train to have a look at it, to be bundled into his grimy hell again in the evening. Poor wretch!
Tell me, then, at what period of this man's working life will you pick him up and set him to imitating the work of the free crafts-guildsman of the fourteenth century, and expect him to turn out work like his in quality?
Well, not to weaken my argument by exaggeration, I admit that though a huge quantity of would-be artistic work is done by this slave of the machine at the bidding of some ridiculous market or other, the crafts relating to building have not reached that point in the industrial revolution; they are an example of my assertion that the eighteenth-century division of labour system still exists, and works side by side with the great factory and machine system. Yet, here, too, the progress of the degradation is obvious enough, since the similar craftsmen of the eighteenth century still had lingering among them scraps of tradition from the times of art now lost. while now in those crafts the division of labour system has eaten deep from the architect to the hod-man, and, moreover, the standard of excellence, so far from its bearing any relation to that of the free workman of the guilds, has sunk far below that of the man enslaved by division of labour in the eighteenth century, and is not a whit better than that of the shoddy-maker of the great industries; in short, the workman of the great machine industry is the type of labour to-day.
Surely it is a curious thing that while we are ready to laugh at the idea of the possibility of the Greek workman turning out a Gothic building, or a Gothic workman turning out a Greek one, we see nothing preposterous in the Victorian workman producing a Gothic one. And this, although we have any amount of specimens of the work of the Renaissance period, whose workmen, under the pedantic and retrospective direction of the times, were theoretically supposed to be able to imitate the ancient classical work, which imitation, as a matter of fact, turned out obstinately characteristic of their own period, and derived all the merit it had from those characteristics - a curious thing, and perhaps of all the signs of weakness of art at the present day one of the most discouraging. I may be told, perhaps, that the very historical knowledge, of which I have spoken above, and which the pedantry of the Renaissance and eighteenth century lacked, has enabled us to perform that miracle of raising the dead centuries to life again; but to my mind it is a strange view to take of historical knowledge and insight, that it should set us on the adventure of trying to retrace our steps towards the past, rather than give us some glimmer of insight into the future; a strange view of the continuity of history, that it should make us ignore the very changes which are the essence of that continuity. In truth, the art of the past cycle, that of the Renaissance, which flickered out at last in the feeble twaddle of the dilettantism of the latter Georges, had about it, as I hinted above, a supercilious confidence in itself, which entirely forbade it to accept any imitation of style but one, as desirable, which one was that which it regarded as part of itself. It could make no more choice in style than Greek or Gothic art could; it fully, if tacitly, admitted the evolution of history, accepted the division-of-labour workman, and so, indeed, did its best, and had a kind of life about it, dreary as that life was, and expressive enough of the stupid but fearless middle class domination which was the essence of the period.
But we, I say, we refuse to admit the evolution of history. We set our slave to the machine to do the work of the free medieval workman or of the man of the transition period indifferently. We, if no age else, have learnt the trick of masquerading in other men's cast-off clothes, and carry on a strange hypocritical theatrical performance, rather with timid stolidity than with haughty confidence, determined to shut our eyes to everything seriously disagreeable, nor heeding the silent movement of real history which is still going on around and underneath our raree show.
Surely such a state of things is a token of change - of change, speedy perhaps, complete certainly; of the visible end of one cycle and the beginning of another. For, strange to say, here is a society which on its cultivated surface has no distinct characteristics of its own, but floats, part of it hither, part thither - this set of minds drifting toward the beauty of the past, that toward the logic of the future, each tacitly at least believing that theyneed but count of heads on their side to establish a convention of many, which should rule the world, despite of history and logic, ignoring necessity which has made even their blind feebleness what it is. And all the while beneath this cultivated surface works the great commercial system, which the cultivated look on as their servant and the bond of society, but which really is their master and the breaker-up of society; for it is in itself and in its essence a war, and can only change its character with its death: man against man, class against class, with this motto, What I gain you lose, that war must go on till the great change comes whose end is peace and not war.
And what are we, who are met together here after seven years of humble striving for existence, for leave to do something? Mere straws in that ocean of half-conscious hypocrisy which is called cultivated society? Nay, I hope not. At least, we do not turn round on history and say, That is bad and that is good; I like this and I don't like that; but rather we say, This was life, and these, the works of our fathers, are material signs of it. That life lives in you, though you have forgotten it; those material signs of it, though you do not heed them, will one day be sought for: and that necessity which is even now forming the society of the time to be, and shall one day make it manifest, has amongst other things forced us to do our best to treasure them, these tokens of life past and present. The society of to-day, anarchical as it is, is nevertheless forming a new order of which we in common with all those who, I will say it, have courage to accept realities and reject shams, are and must be, a part; so that in the long run our work, hopeless as it must sometimes seem to us, will not be utterly lost. For, after all, what is it that we are contending for? The reality of art, that is to say, of the pleasure of the human race. The tendency of the commercial or competitive society, which has been developing for more than 300 years, has been towards the destruction of the pleasure of life. But that competitive society has at last developed itself so far that, as I have said, its own change and death is approaching, and as one token of the change the destruction of the pleasure of life is beginning to seem to many of us no longer a necessity but a thing to be striven against. On the genuineness and reality of that hope the existence, the reason for existence of our Society depends. Believe me, it will not be possible for a small knot of cultivated people to keep alive an interest in the art and records of the past amidst the present conditions of a sordid and heart-breaking struggle for existence for the many, and a languid sauntering through life for the few. But when society is so reconstituted that all citizens will have a chance of leading a life made up of due leisure and reasonable work, then will all society, and not our "Society" only, resolve to protect ancient buildings from all damage, wanton or accidental, for then at last they will begin to understand that they are part of their present lives, and part of themselves. That will come when the time is ripe for it; for at present even if they knew of their loss they could not prevent it, since they are living in a state of war, that is to say, of blind waste.
Surely we of this Society have had the truth driven home practically often enough, have often had to confess that if the destruction or brutification of an ancient monument of art and history was "a matter of money," it was hopeless striving against it. Do not let us be so feeble or cowardly as to refuse to face this fact, for, for us also, although our function in forming the future of society may be a humble one, there is no compromise. Let us admit that we are living in the time of barbarism betwixt two periods of order, the order of the past and the order of the future, and then, though there may be some of us who think (as I do) that the end of that barbarism is drawing near, and others that it is far distant, yet we can both of us, I the hopeful and you the unhopeful, work together to preserve what relics of the old order are yet left us for the instruction, the pleasure, the hope of the new. So may the times of present war be less disastrous, if but a little - the times of coming peace more fruitful.

There’s an intriguing weekend of music and more in store at the ECM Weekend at Triskel Christchurch in Cork this coming Friday to Sunday. There’s a performance by Anna Maria Friman, John Potter, Ariel Abramovich and Jacob Heringman of lute songs written by John Paul Jones, Sting and Tony Banks as well as an appearance from Quercus with June Tabor, Iain Ballamy and Huw Warren.
There will also be screenings (including Sounds and Silence, which follows ECM label founder Manfred Eicher through recording studios, concerts, back rooms and asides while encountering Arvo Pärt, Jan Garbarek, Eleni Karaindrou, Anouar Brahem, Marilyn Mazur and others, and Arrows Into Infinity, Dorothy Darr and Jeffery Morse’s profile of Charles Lloyd) and a festival club.
Banter’s involvement with the weekend takes the form of a discussion about musical communities and connections. When Manfred Eicher set up ECM Records in Munich in the late 1960s, he established a connection between the records which represented his label and a worldwide clan of music fans who gravitated towards those releases. Whether it was the sound or the vision of those striking, idiosyncratic ECM releases, a connection was established and a reputation began to grow.
While much has changed since ECM’s early days, cultural connections, those bonds between those who make and produce and embellish and sell the music and those who fall in love with those creations, remain a invaluable albeit often intangible element. As part of the ECM Weekend, we’re joined by musician John Potter, composer Linda Buckley, Ergodos record label director Benedict Schlepper-Connolly and the Triskel’s artistic director Tony Sheehan to discuss the cultural connections which ensue when someone with a vision decides to act on that.
This discussion will take place at the Triskel Christchurch on Sunday November 29 at 2.30pm and tickets are available here. | <urn:uuid:a2b70988-e5b8-46e3-a2be-2076935576b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://thisisbanter.com/banter-at-ecm-weekend-123-nov-2015/ | 2019-04-24T00:55:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578616424.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190423234808-20190424020808-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.944031 | 424 |

This procedure will guide you through the steps to troubleshoot a hydraulic fluid leak on your Goodnature SX-280.
Mitigating or precluding hydraulic fluid leaks can be handled by frequently checking and tightening all of the fittings and hoses on your SX-280 press. It is recommended to perform this maintenance once a week. However, you may still experience a leak at a fitting, or a defective hose, which can lead to press operation failure.
If you are experiencing a fluid leak at a fitting or hose-end, Follow these steps for troubleshooting and repair:
- Turn off your SX-280 press.
- Tighten the fittings on the SX-280 which appear to be leaking.
- Clean the area off of all fluid and turn your SX-280 back on.
- Watch closely the hose-end or fitting suspected of leaking.
- If there is no apparent accumulation of fluid, place the press under pressure by moving the platen to either direction.
- When the platen closes and proper pressure is achieved(1800 psi for forward and 2200 psi for reverse), check the suspected area again to see if fluid is accumulating.
- If fluid begins to accumulate at the fitting joint, or appears to be coming from the hose-end, you may be experiencing a defective O-ring in the fitting or a loose or defective hose-end, in which case replacing the fitting and hose will be necessary.
Goodnature recommends having a set of extra hoses on hand to guarantee that you do not experience the loss of production time. However, if this is not possible, you may contact Goodnature and have hoses or fittings shipped out to you. (It may also be possible that O-rings for fittings be found at your local Hydraulic parts store). | <urn:uuid:fd2848f2-0e08-41b1-9d7c-80eed4f9c05f> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.goodnature.com/knowledgebase/sx-280-hydraulic-fluid-leak | 2023-02-06T13:44:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500339.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206113934-20230206143934-00666.warc.gz | en | 0.921533 | 368 |

The next horror movie prey for the devil will focus on a nun learning exorcism alongside a young priest. Often, priests are one of the most dangerous professions to have in a horror movie. They may hold secret knowledge that could defeat the great evil in the movie, but sadly, that knowledge is most often what leads to their downfall. Or in some cases become the doom themselves.
Some priests are terrifying by what they become. Others are terrifying because of the circumstances in which they find themselves. In any case, their faith is a major aspect of their character.
ten Priest (Priest)
Priest is an action-horror film set in an alternate land where the Church reigns supreme. Priests act as executioners of the Church’s will against the dark creatures that roam the night. One of them, simply known as Priest, comes out of retirement to rescue one of his nieces from a vampire kidnapper.
The movie isn’t so scary because it’s really cool. The priest himself, played by Paul Bettany, is only terrifying to those who stand in his way, as he is firmly on the side of humanity. Still, it’s never a good idea to underestimate a man who hunts things that hustle in the night.
9 Dillon (Alien 3)
Dillon is a convict, guilty of terrible crimes such as murder and rape. With Ripley’s luck in his teammates, people expected Dillon to turn on his heels at some point. However, after Ripley has a talk with him, she finds a truly rehabilitated man, a rarity in the world. Extraterrestrial franchise.
He became the unofficial leader of the inmates and was instrumental in defeating the xenomorph threat. He even saves Ripley from an attempted assault by his fellow inmates. It only makes his eventual fate even sadder, though thankfully he did it on his own terms. Even the damned are capable of redemption.
8 Father McGruder (Braindead)
Most casual moviegoers hear the name Peter Jackson and think of intellectual fantasy, adaptations of Tolkien’s most legendary work, and sweeping the awards scene in a plethora of categories. They certainly wouldn’t expect one of his first films to be Brain death.
Brain death features a priest who, although he didn’t last that long, became instantly iconic with a single line. Shouting “I kick for the Lord” defiantly as the undead assaulted him, he cemented his place in horror movie stunt doubles, even as he turned into a zombie himself. macabre.
seven Cotton Marcus (The Last Exorcism)
Cotton Marcus is a jaded priest who, despite his belief in God, has no such faith in the Church he serves. He sees the supernatural as a means for men to supplant the beliefs of others. His already shaken faith is further tested by his participation in the so-called “last exorcism”.
Cotton Marcus is a fascinating character for a horror movie. Often, priests are characterized by their strong faith, but Cotton Marcus is plagued with doubt. The fact that an intelligent man places so much doubt in his own practice is his own mark of destabilization. Even if the fears of demonic possession quickly become too real.
6 “Father Max” (The Hour of Purification)
cleaning time plays with the idea of ”fake exorcisms” by showing what happens when these tricksters come face to face with a creature from hell. “Father Max” moonlights as a “true exorcist” with his own show streaming live online. However, all of his supposed exorcisms are staged to look like “found footage” only.
At least, until one of their segments takes a sinister turn. Father Max’s story is revealed throughout the film, featuring a broken man who was spat out by the Church who he believed would save him. He was a true priest who left the order because of past trauma, and that trauma is unsettling to explore.
5 Reverend Jacob Meeker (The Blob)
The eccentric Reverend Jacob Meeker started out as a typical small-town priest, who believed the titular Blob was a sign from God that the apocalypse was near. And over the course of the film, Reverend Meeker slowly loses his mind.
His collar is more and more undone, his hair messy and his speech is less and less coherent. The Reverend’s sting of himself as a kind of “Horseman of the Apocalypse”, holding a tiny bit of the Blob, left the audience shocked in their seats.
4 John Ketcham (The Amityville Horror)
John Ketcham is the priest of a xenophobic cult that in the 17th century committed hundreds of atrocities on the country’s American Indians. The pain he inflicted and his own ritual suicide are the reason the Amityville Mansion has become one of the most haunted houses in horror history.
It was his actions that triggered the curse on the Amityville home, with his hatred remaining strong. Not only that, the hatred his victims feel also remains, driving one of the house’s residents even further into madness. Even in death, John Ketcham continues to terrorize the innocent.
3 Harry Powell (Night of the Hunter)
Harry Powell seems at a glance the perfect clergyman. Strong in his faith but still charismatic enough to attract an audience. Both men and women find him easy to be around. However, Harry Powell is far from following the teachings of God. In fact, he uses God as a cover for his gruesome crimes.
Robert Mitchum stars as a psychotic preacher who takes on widows surprisingly well. It’s considered one of his most iconic performances for good reason. Long before the likes of psychology Plagued by the idea of the charismatic killer, Harry Powell was already terrifying 1950s audiences with his sadism.
2 Lucas Trevant (The Rite)
Lucas Trevant is on the face of it the best exorcist a possessed person could ask for. According to Church law, he is not only a priest, but also a doctor. This means that he does not need any help in his exorcisms. Plus, he has decades of experience under his belt. He even helps his young protege, Michael, find his faith in God.
Behind his mask, however, is a weary old man who has visions of all the exorcisms he’s performed every time he closes his eyes. His doubts and grief allow him to become possessed by a demon, and Anthony Hopkins playing a sadistic demon is unlikely to be forgotten by viewers.
1 Damien Karras (The Exorcist)
Damien Karras is a wonderfully complex character and the only part of the cast to be in two good Exorcist movies. Damien Karras is not only a priest, but a psychiatrist. His faith is not as strong as Father Merrin’s. The contrast between his cynicism and Merrin’s unwavering conviction is contested throughout the film.
What makes Damien Karras a terrifying priest is not because of what he is, but what he becomes. As The Exorcist III reveals, he has become the soul host of the Gemini Killer and must watch helplessly as his body murders innocent people in horribly brutal ways.

You had better not object to the pro-Islamic brainwashing that takes place in public schools. You might get banned from setting foot on campus:
A Maryland father who asked that his daughter be excused from learning about Islam in her world history class now finds himself under a no-trespass order that prevents him from setting foot on the girl’s public school campus.
The events leading to the no-trespass order occurred at La Plata High School in La Plata, Md., a small town about 30 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., SoMDNews reports, a website for three local newspapers.
The dad is Kevin Wood, a former corporal and eight-year veteran in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Wood was initially upset because he did not want his daughter, a high school junior, to participate in instruction about Islam.
It is easy to see why, considering the obsequious and insidious nature of this instruction, which apparently consists of whitewashing the barbaric cult in the interests of political correctness and comparing it favorably to its historic nemesis, Western Civilization.
He called the school district office last week, first speaking to an administrative assistant and eventually speaking to La Plata High vice principal Shannon Morris.
A school district spokeswoman, Katie O’Malley-Simpson, said Wood threatened to cause problems at the school during his conversation with Morris. O’Malley-Simpson provided no specific information about any threats the former Marine made. …
Wood denies making any threats.
To educrats, being a thought criminal is threatening enough.
His version of the conversation is that he explained in no uncertain terms that he does “not believe in” Islam and wants his daughter removed from class while other students study the Muslim religion. …
Wood is also frustrated that his daughter’s world history teacher would dedicate taxpayer-funded class time to Islam while giving short shrift — or just no shrift — to Christianity.
Our ruling class doesn’t like Christianity, therefore acknowledging its central role in Western history would violate the mythical wall between church and state. Our ruling class does like Islam, so propagandizing on its behalf is an integral part of teaching Middle Eastern history.
Call it trickle-down Islamophilia. | <urn:uuid:1107948b-6292-4281-b7da-c2f801db3780> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://socialismisnottheanswer.wordpress.com/2014/10/ | 2021-04-18T05:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038468066.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210418043500-20210418073500-00583.warc.gz | en | 0.962778 | 469 |
St Q Posted March 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2007 "Missing time" is not uncommon for those who have seen or been abducted by UFOs. Have you or anyone you know ever experienced missing or lost time after seeing or searching for spook lights or ghost lights? Do you have any ideas as to how this happens or why there may be a relationship between the two? Here are some examples: Bragg Road, Saratoga, Texas by Sweetsalem82103 ". . . any ways he [my dad] said places around the Big Thicket and Saratoga are really scary. He experienced "lost time" on some road leading out of saratoga (or was it saratoga road?). . . 45 minutes to be exact." http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...p;#entry1367924 Spook Light Hill, Joplin, Missouri by George C. Andrews ". . . a golden light much larger and brighter than the one I had seen previously did appear to be approaching, but what put me into a state of shock was seeing this light against a night sky. Somehow we were already surrounded by full night-time darkness. What had happened to dusk? As we watched, the light receded and diminished. LeVonne had to turn on her dashboard light to check the time. Suddenly, she realized it was an hour later than the time indicated by the clock. Daylight Savings Time had become effective during the night, and she had not yet changed the clock in the car. It was then that she first began to suspect that we may have LOST an hour." http://www.fantompowa.net/Flame/andrews_missing_time.html Daniel Boone National Forest, Kentucky by Tras "It was barely past midnight as we jokingly talked about how it was too early for us to be getting delirious. However, the glow returned again to its familiar spot, so we consulted a sleeping friend to get his opinion. We asked him if he could see it, he said yes, then told us to wake him up when we had something important to tell him. Matt and I laid down on the rock to have a cigarette and look for shooting stars. As we watched, Matt told me a few minutes later that the glow was gone again. Sure enough, it was. However, we heard someone shouting from above the valley saying, "Wake up!" Confused, we checked the watch to find it was nearly 5:30 a.m.! There was no way Matt and I had fallen asleep, as we both still had been smoking the cigarettes we lit before we laid back to look at the stars. We credit the mysterious glow for making five hours vanish instantly. http://paranormal.about.com/library/blstory_january05_34.htm Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Last Friday, Al Jazeera's China correspondent Melissa Chan dropped in on a "black jail" in Beijing, one of the city's secret, unlawful detention centers that the Chinese government insists do not exist.
It was a standard black jail, housed in an empty government building in southern Beijing's Fengtai district, staffed by thuggish men in civilian clothes with sharp brush cuts and the swagger of off-duty policemen. Their job: to detain petitioners, residents of the rural countryside who come to the city seeking legal redress for miscarriages of justice. When Beijing police showed up to defuse a confrontation between the guards and a crowd of angry petitioners, the police ignored the guards and instead told the Al Jazeera crew to stop filming and leave the scene.
Petitioners are routinely abducted off the streets and held in these secret prisons where they may be subjected to physical, psychological and sexual abuse. Black jail detainees can be held from a few days to several months-and often have to bribe their way out of captivity.
Meanwhile, just across town, the annual meeting of China's National People's Congress saw the ratification yesterday of China's newly revised Criminal Procedure Law. Deputy president of Beijing's Renmin University Wang Liming praised China's newly revised Criminal Procedure Law as "the constitutional principle of respecting and protecting human rights."
But black jails, operating outside the law and sustained through the passive or active complicity of the Chinese government and its security agencies, are immune to any tinkering with China's statutes. Despite being illegal, black jails persist due to a perverse bureaucratic incentive: local government officials are punished when there is a large flow of complaining petitioners from their areas to Beijing.
The glaring disconnect between the Chinese government's assessment of China's human rights protections and the events recorded by Al Jazeera just a few kilometers away highlight the widening gap between the government's lofty rhetoric on rule of law and the security agencies' increasing disregard for that principle. True, the newly revised Criminal Procedure Law enshrines advances in legal protections for the rights of minors and the mentally ill, and forbids confessions obtained through torture. But the same law also allows police to detain suspects in national security, terrorism or major bribery cases incommunicado for up to six months in secret locations outside of regular detention facilities, which can only fuel abuses. The black jail captured on video by Al Jazeera is a potent reminder of the fragility and irrelevance of China's laws when security agencies at best won't enforce them or at worst actively violate them with impunity.
Human Rights Watch documented the existence of black jails and their related abuses in 2009, echoing findings by Chinese human rights organizations and human rights lawyers. Despite that evidence, the Chinese government has maintained a public stance of denial. During a March 2010 United Nations examination of China's human rights record a Chinese government official insisted that, "There are no black jails in the country." On March 13, 2012, a foreign ministry official gave that same answer to Beijing-based ITV correspondent Angus Walker, who like Al Jazeera had also stumbled upon a black jail facility that week.
In Sept. 2010, Chinese media reported the detention of two executives of a private security firm, Anyuanding, implicated in the abduction of petitioners and the operation of black jails. But the pair was later released without being charged. Even worse, Beijing police subsequently raided the office of Caijing magazine, one of the two media organizations that reported the Anyuanding-black jail link in pursuit of their sources for the article. Chinese police later apologized to Caijing, but the raid sent a chilling message to state media about the police position on investigating black jails.
Black jails are just one example of the willingness of China's state security agencies to perpetrate enforced disappearances - a crime under both Chinese domestic and international law - as a means of silencing citizens who challenge the authoritarian status quo.
In early 2011, with government fears of possible of Arab spring-like "jasmine revolution" in China, state security agencies targeted more than 30 of its most outspoken critics, including the artist-activist Ai Weiwei. The lawyers and activists were held in unknown locations for weeks, and several later reported that they were interrogated, tortured, threatened and released only after signing spurious "confessions." And for several months the government considered as part of the Criminal Procedure Law revisions a provision that would have effectively legalized such enforced disappearances; only after considerable domestic and international outcry was that dropped.
Until the Chinese government reins in the power of its security agencies- starting with a public admission of the existence of black jails and concrete moves to abolish them - the value of China's new Criminal Procedure Law isn't worth much more than the paper it is printed on. | <urn:uuid:26ef4499-f57e-4340-9844-20253902d99c> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.refworld.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/rwmain?page=country&category=&publisher=HRW&type=&coi=CHN&rid=&docid=4f6846f42&skip=0 | 2015-05-07T04:54:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430460283022.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501060443-00071-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946417 | 1,088 |
A Fox, running before the hounds, came across a Wood-cutter felling an oak, and besought him to show him a safe hiding-place. The Wood-cutter advised him to take shelter in his own hut. The Fox crept in, and hid himself in a corner. The Huntsman came up, with his hounds, in a few minutes, and inquired of the Wood-cutter if he had seen the Fox. He declared that he had not seen him, and yet pointed, all the time he was speaking, to the hut where the Fox lay hid. The Huntsman took no notice of the signs, but, believing his word, hastened forward in the chase. As soon as they were well away, the Fox departed without taking any notice of the Wood-cutter; whereon he called to him, and reproached him, saying: "You ungrateful fellow, you owe your life to me, and yet you leave me without a word of thanks." The Fox replied: "Indeed, I should have thanked you most fervently, if your deeds had been as good as your words." | <urn:uuid:295b4956-2620-4d8b-9fc1-160cbd0a8d3a> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://nurseryrhymes.com/The_Fox_and_the_Wood_Cutter | 2014-11-24T12:09:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400380627.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123300-00228-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992113 | 232 |
What the Western media has been calling the "secular opposition" consists mostly of naïve pseudo-activists alongside many opportunists, mediocre thinkers, and madmen. This "youth revolution" with its incoherent mix of hopes, demands, and grievances, and its insistence on the stark opposition between the young and the old scares me, my own youth notwithstanding. When I visited Tahrir Square I thought of [Edmund] Burke: "but what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint."
Not that a people should endure the injustice of a despot for the sake of preserving stability and tradition. Burke acknowledges the right of people to dismiss their ruler by force, but only if all other means have been exhausted. This wasn't really the case in Tunisia, and even less so in Egypt. Dozens of former officials and business men are now facing house arrest, confiscation of property, or imprisonment without due process, and calls for an even deeper purge are filling newspaper pages and TV airtime.
"Days of rage" may topple a dictator—in Tunisia and here in Egypt, at least, they have—but they are unlikely to produce democracy, and neither is Egypt's more likely path. The constitutional reform that just passed is almost certainly a win for the military dictatorship that Mubarak led for so long, with perhaps a few seats at the table for the Muslim Brotherhood and others. In short, we are probably closer to Nasser's 1952 Free Officers Coup than we are to 1776. I wish that I thought otherwise.Me too. Someone who does think otherwise is Natan Sharansky. In the same issue of JRB, he continues to generalize from the particular experience of Jewish Russian "refuseniks," insisting that, like all human beings, Egyptians and other Arabs long to be free. The problem with this way of thinking is the same as it was back when it influenced the Bush II neo-Cons: it fails to consider the history, appeal and hold of Islam, and how Islamic teachings are antithetical to the concept of freedom as we freedom-loving kafirs understand it. | <urn:uuid:45846881-f68d-4469-a1a1-374c6416c4f9> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://scaramouchee.blogspot.com/2011/05/burkean-in-egypt.html | 2015-04-28T02:04:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246660493.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045740-00254-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961572 | 449 |

4 Injured When Van Hits Taxi, Which Rolls Over Near City Hall
Get Breaking News First
UPDATED 12/23/11 11:08 a.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A van slammed into a taxi downtown early Friday and caused the cab to roll over on the sidewalk next to City Hall, in an accident that sent four people to area hospitals.
The crash happened at 5:13 a.m., when a red 2000 Dodge Caravan headed west on Randolph Street slammed into a 2008 Ford Escape taxi, Yellow Taxi No. 678, at Clark Street, police told the Sun-Times Media Wire.
The van nearly broadsided the taxi, which flipped on its side and ended up coming to rest just short of the northeast corner of the City Hall complex, on the Cook County Building side, CBS 2’s Kris Habermehl reports.
The minivan came to rest in the middle of the pedestrian zebra crossing across Randolph on the west side of Clark.
Initially, it was believed that the taxi crashed into City Hall, but upon further inspection, it turned out the vehicle did not make contact with the building.
But video from the scene showed that the taxi did take down a light pole next to City Hall, on which a traffic light and street signs for the intersection were mounted.
The taxi driver was pinned in and had to be extricated right at the southwest corner of City Hall.
A total of four people were taken to hospitals in critical condition.
The 28-year-old driver of the Caravan and the 43-year-old taxi driver were taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County, police told the Sun-Times Media Wire.
Two acquaintances, a 40-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, were riding in the back of the cab. They were both taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Sun-Times Media Wire reported.
Police told the wire the woman had a head injury and was the most seriously injured.
The Fire Department called an EMS Plan 1, which automatically sends five ambulances. Numerous ambulances were heard arriving at the scene outside the CBS 2 studios just after the accident.
Randolph and Clark streets, which are one way westbound and southbound, respectively, were blocked for the majority of the morning.
The driver of the van, whose name was not released, was cited for failure to stop at a traffic light and not having a driver’s license, Mirabelli said. | <urn:uuid:77e2f493-e652-489d-b0a3-4341146f21a3> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/12/23/breaking-news-car-rolls-over-crashes-into-city-hall/ | 2014-08-20T15:38:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500809686.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021329-00367-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972396 | 516 |
I ’d cross continents and climb mountains for pure acorn-fed Ibérico pata negra ham. Once tasted, it’s hard to go back to lesser animals fed on grains, or prosaic white-hoofed porkers: the fragrant meat and the fat vanishing on the tongue with a back note of clean, porcine sweetness. It’s healthy even– the monounsaturated fat bursting with oleic acid; only olives have more.
Just a few Spanish regions boast the holm oak trees (encinas) and open pastures necessary for the feeding and rearing of this most coveted beast. Extremadura is one of these. From our temporary home, the gorgeous Villa Moritos at the very pinnacle of the equally beautiful medieval town of Trujillo, we can see miles of those plains to as far as Portugal. We’re going to eat ourselves some ham. All the ham.
This plan is executed easily. Everywhere, from restaurants to tiny cafés, offer plates of the stuff, freshly carved to order. Our first stop, just off the main square, is Corral del Rey. After the inevitable jamón, I have Ibérico pork secreto (the shoulder cut that, with its liberal marbling of fat, has sometimes been called pork wagyu) thickly dusted with another of Extremadura’s hero products – sweet, smoky pimentón de la Vera, and grilled over encino, the very wood that fed it – a wonderfully symmetrical cooking method. Despite being one of the swishest restaurants in town, the three-course set meal costs, with drinks, a gentle €23. We soon discover the norm is €10-15; it’s easy to eat well on very little here.
All the steep, narrow roads seem to lead to Plaza Mayor, the main square, with its ravishing conquistadors’ mansions.
There’s Cerveceria for beers and the locals’ favourite dish, migas – paprika-laced breadcrumbs fried in pork fat, studded with chorizo and topped with a frilly fried egg; a reminder that, in a poor area, nothing must be wasted, even stale bread. When I ask for pan con tomate, I get toast and strawberry jam. With chips. (Worth it for the laughs.)
More ham, served with shavings of foie gras, makes a surprisingly luxurious snack from rough-and-ready Nuria. We also have a sparky tuna, roasted pepper and avocado salad (our first vegetables and fish), and some crisp fried chipirones – meat is the hero round these landlocked parts. I wish we were staying long enough to try the weekly baby kid roasted in the wood oven.
But it’s difficult to tear ourselves away from Villa Moritos: not only is the garden a fair approximation of paradise but, in the shade beneath a leafy trellis, the Trujillo Villas’ cook, Belen, dishes up feasts. She lays the table with tiny empanadillas, the crisp pastry filled with juicy spiked pork; stout, ham-flecked croquetas; a wobbly tortilla made with eggs from their own hens; lomo de bellota; and salads of beans, potatoes, ham and roasted peppers. It’s finished with a flourish: sweet local cherries and sheeps’ milk cheese, torta del casar. Blimey. This is so potent, so oozing, that it makes époisses look like Dairylea. To try to contain its pungency, it’s packed, like a replacement organ, in polystyrene – it almost jumps out to meet us.
I hardly ever eat ‘at home’ during these trips, but after a visit to Montánchez, the area’s mecca of jamón production, there’s nothing I’d rather do than sit on our villa’s spectacular terrace and stuff my face with acorn-fed ham while fat bees buzz round riotous blooms. We’ve been to famed Casa Bautista to study the process, an alchemical combination of pedigree animals, atmospheric conditions, time and the most tender loving care. (Obviously, we buy a whole leg to send home.) With a trip to nearby vineyard Habla, we wind up with the ingredients for the emperor of all backyard picnics.
Trujillo’s restaurants are happily rustic, dependent on a wood grill and fryer for many of their treats. For lovers of swank, nearby Cáceres is where it’s at. The beautiful, ancient walled city is Spain’s capital of gastronomy for 2015, so we’re pretty excited. We have reservations at a local hero, the two Michelin-starred Atrio, a serene beauty with a remarkable wine cellar. It’s a oenophile’s fantasy with 50 vintages of Mouton Rothschild, a dizzying 75 of Yquem stored in its own special room and every single Burgundy Grand Cru.
The food is just as exquisite. Chef Toño Perez gives us a VIP option of dish after dish from the contemporary ‘tasting’ menu – fat red prawns interspersed with bonbons of Ibérico pork and a crunchy ‘dust’ of toasted cornbread, the heads served in a separate bowl for sucking; and ‘daring’ fried oysters in strawberry sauce with kimchi paper – and the ‘timeless’ menu – roasted suckling goat on creamy potatoes and a heady 24-hour reduction of meat juices. The ice cream is made from torta del casar, and the wine pairings are suitably ambrosial.
Extremadura’s history of poverty is, paradoxically, one of the reasons its treasures are so perfectly preserved. I’m disappointed that its name doesn’t actually mean ‘extremely hard’, testament to the difficulty of living off these dusty plains (it’s something to do with being beyond the Duoro river, apparently). But it’s from poverty that the conquistadors escaped to conquer the New World, fortified, no doubt, by pig products. It was a Trujillan, Maria de Escobar, who first introduced wheat to the US: tiny Trujillo has a huge influence.
Our last night is spent on the terrace of homely La Alberca Asador (Calle Cambrones 8; 00 34 927 322 209), overlooked by two ancient clock towers. Meat rules as ever at this wood grill, and the menu boasts a multitude of recherché porcine cuts – secreto, pluma, presa, solomillo – flamed over encina wood. You can have egg and chips as a starter, or torta del casar pooled over toasted bread and dusted with pimentón de la Vera (as, of course, I do). We finish off with a sultry-sweet liqueur made from those essential acorns. The area may have been poor, but it’s rich in many other meaningful ways.
Three-night stays at Villa Montos cost from £1,500 for up to eight people (trujillovillasespana.com). Return flights from Stansted or Manchester to Madrid cost from £50 (ryanair.com). Car hire costs from £25 for three days (holidayautos.co.uk). More info: turismoextremadura.com

My husband graduates in May!!! YAY!! When he started this program literally right after we had our 4th, I don't think either of us realized how intense it would be. We are all really happy to see the end in sight!!
My birthday is on the 6th .. I'm getting old. But I'm gradually trying to get back to work in my office. I'm planning on trying for every other day and seeing how that works out with working and taking care of Darion during the day.
Well tball starts for my oldest son (so crazy I now have TWO sons!) and so that makes our already somewhat crazy schedule even more cray. HA! Memorial Day Weekend we usually go away, I'm assuming we will this year too, that will be fun. That's about it I believe
It's kind of bittersweet for me. I know this is my last, so I am feeling kind of sad but definitely enjoying every single minute with my little one! I think I may be partly hormonal right now, cause I could cry at the drop of a hat! | <urn:uuid:65830942-8016-4996-952a-b281fb6543a1> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f1865-april-2013-playroom/2647016-last-day.html | 2015-08-02T05:16:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042988962.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002308-00319-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966223 | 349 |
This is the place where he lay his head, When he went to bed at night, And this is the place our demons were derived Candles lit the room at night. this is the place where he cut his wrists That odd and fateful night.
This is the place where we used to live, I paid for it with love and blood, And these are the boxes that he kept on the shelf, Filled with his poetry and stuff.
this is the room where he took the razor, And cut his wrists that strange and fateful night.

Your Guide When Looking for Industrial Air Compressor Parts
Industrial compressors are being utilized for many different purposes. This is the reason why they play an important role in an industrial or manufacturing setting. Like any kind of machinery, compressors have a number of different parts. These parts are inspected by organizations like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers or ASME to ensure their safety and quality. That is why if you are looking for parts for your industrial compressor then see to it that it has been inspected to ensure that it is safe to use. Faulty air compressor parts or substandard ones can cause injuries and can decrease the efficiency of what is being done or produced. One of the most important parts of an industrial compressor is the air line that it has. Once these parts do not follow the standard then there is a tendency that they will blow up which can cause serious injuries and even death. Even if the parts that you have bought have been inspected and are certified, regular checks and maintenance are also needed to ensure that they are still safe to use. If your industrial compressors do have worn-out parts then see to it that you will be able to replace them right away with the right one. If you are looking for industrial compressors then see to it that you will be able to look into some factors. This will help you choose the right one for your needs.
Once you take a look at the market then you can find a lot of suppliers and sellers of industrial compressor parts online. You also can find these parts from your local dealers. The most common parts that need replacements are the separators, filters, and hoses. You will need to ensure that the parts that you will be buying are certified by ASME. There are also some states that do not sell parts that are not inspected or certified since they are considered to be illegal. When choosing industrial compressor parts, always look into their quality and safety rather than looking at the price first.
A quick search on the internet will give you a ton of different information about industrial compressor parts as well as accessories. You can find companies that can offer parts as well as services. Always look into the manufacturer of these parts. See to it that they have a good reputation in the market. It is also important to make sure that you will know the model or parts number. This will ensure that you will be able to get the right parts. You need to know that parts should be compatible with the compressor model that you have since they will not fit once they are incorrect.
With the help of the internet, searching for safe and quality industrial compressor parts is easier than before. Using the internet will also help save you money since some sites will be offering discounts. Some sellers of these parts will also be able to give you prices that are for wholesale. This means that they are priced lower which means more savings. | <urn:uuid:37d7c880-0e70-4929-9b69-eb99324997a4> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://silver-style-studios.com/practical-and-helpful-tips-50.html | 2023-03-31T00:48:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949506.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20230330225648-20230331015648-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.965619 | 578 |
Organizations set Objectives and Key Results (aka OKRs) as a way to measure progress towards top business goals. Therefore, OKRs should not be secret: employees at every level should know their company’s top OKRs and how their own work connects to those goals. In addition, individual employee goals—i.e. personal development goals—should align with the organization’s OKRs.
Personal development goals are a little different from company goals or an employee’s work goals in that they focus on developing the skills of an individual employee. These goals cover areas like self-management or emotional intelligence. Because personal development goals aim to benefit the employee by improving aspects of their performance, they in turn benefit the company. The key to setting the right personal development goals is ensuring that they’re relevant and valuable.
Set Relevant and Valuable Goals
One method for developing relevant goals is to use the acronym S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, actionable, responsible and time-bound). Here are five questions you should ask when setting your personal development goals:
1. What do you want to do? (Specific) The answer to this question is the goal itself.
2. How will you know when you’ve achieved the goal? (Measurable) Determine what measurement or outcome is associated with goal completion.
3. What are the individual steps that are necessary? (Actionable) Every goal should consist of smaller steps. In terms of OKRs, these are the key results associated with each objective.
4. Who do you need support and resources from? (Responsible) An individual goal doesn’t necessarily need to belong 100% to the individual. Sometimes others can offer support and be responsible for certain key results.
5. When will the goal be completed? (Time-bound) This isn’t to say that timelines can’t be adjusted, but having a rough schedule is important.
“A” Smart Way to Align Individual and Company OKRs
The acronym S.M.A.R.T. has been around for decades. It was first mentioned by George T. Doran in a 1981 issue of Management Review. Given how long it has been used in the workplace, it’s not a surprise when certain additions are made. In fact, some people are starting to add the letter “A” to make it S.M.A.R.T.A. The second “A” stands for alignment. In other words, you can ask yourself: “How does my goal align with my company’s OKRs?” The answer could show either direct or indirect alignment.
Direct alignment: Let’s say an organization wants to improve their customer satisfaction scores. One of their objectives could be to conduct organization-wide training on “How to Manage Difficult Customers”. If you’re in the learning and development department, you probably have a work goal directly aligned to the OKR, such as “design a customer service program”. However, in addition, you can set a personal development goal that will directly align, such as “Focus on improving my presentation skills.”
Indirect alignment: Let’s use the same scenario, except now you’re in the accounting department. While you’re not directly involved with creating or delivering the training, you may have to attend and support the program. This isn’t to say that someone in accounting can’t or shouldn’t have direct alignment with the customer service objective, but it probably means that your personal development goal would be different from someone in that department. In this situation, it could be “Develop greater empathy with vendors and employees.”
Goal Setting is Just the First Step
Some might say that the goal setting process is the easy part and achieving the goal is the hard part. While that could be debated, one thing is certain: it’s hard to accomplish goals if you don’t monitor your progress.
Today’s goal setting technology helps employees document their goals (including individual key results and due dates), set regular reminders to review progress and stay focused. Organizations can also offer training to managers so they can coach and support employees to achieve their goals.
Every employee within an organization has OKRs that should align to top company OKRs—not only work-related goals, but personal development goals as well. With the ability to set, review and adjust great personal development goals, employees can better align those goals to top company OKRs and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. | <urn:uuid:08bb0ee4-f22a-4e76-82fe-d0a512a1aee4> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://blog.betterworks.com/align-personal-development-company-okrs-2017/ | 2018-09-19T09:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156096.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180919083126-20180919103126-00140.warc.gz | en | 0.954035 | 969 |

National Scrapbook Day is fast approaching! I'm super duper excited about it this year, because My Daughter's Wish is hosting FOUR days of activities! It all starts on Thurdsay evening with another great night of Make'n'Take ATCs, followed by a Friday night scrap, an all day Saturday fiesta from 10am to 2am! and a wrap up Sunday. The events will be full of food, raffles, and mini-classes. Connie and I gave Allison a ticket to the Saturday events, so I'll have a partner in crime;) Sheri is giving away a three day pass on the blog, so leave a comment!
This is the ATC I designed for Thursday, so come make one with me! The last open house event was so much fun. I met some really great ladies, the store was packed, and it was a really festive atmosphere. Hectic, yes (I barely got a chance to get a bathroom break in over the whole three hours), but so worth it! Scrappers are just nice people. Seriously, how many mean scrappers have you actually met? It's a hobby devoted primarily to recording the memories of our children and families; something we do for others as much as ourselves. How many mean people do that? | <urn:uuid:ade0aabf-cd70-42f2-bb05-4ad9fc08358a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.liveyourart.net/2008/04/national-scrapbook-day-excitement.html | 2017-10-17T03:51:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820700.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017033641-20171017053641-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.971408 | 266 |
