Exodus 3:1-15 | Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45c | Romans 12:9-21 | Matthew 16:21-28
“But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?’”
What are some things that bring you comfort? A familiar song? Your favorite meal? The voice of a dear friend? Something that I find quite comforting is fire… especially drawing close to a hot woodstove on a cold, gloomy day. The feel of the heat, the smell of the woodsmoke, the site of the dancing flames, I love all of it. To me, fire brings comfort.
But I know it can also be dangerous… unpredictable… unsafe, so to speak. This same object can be both the source of delight, as well as a cause of destruction. And what sometimes brings us comfort can also disrupt everything.
In today’s Old Testament reading from the book of Exodus, we heard about Moses’ lifechanging encounter with the Living God. Many years and troubles have passed for Moses since our reading last week: Having been spared as an infant from the fear-driven violence and cruel bloodshed of Pharaoh, the Israelite Moses ends up being raised in the palace of Egypt’s king: the adopted son of a princess.
As an adult, Moses becomes troubled by the oppression of his people, and one day he takes matters into his own hands, and murders an Egyptian man who was beating an Israelite slave. When his crime becomes known, Moses flees out into the dessert… to the land of Midian… where he tries to start his life over again: he gets married, and begins working in the family business, shepherding. And here we find him today: miles away from his past and from his suffering people, tending sheep on Mt. Horeb, or Sinai, in the wilderness. And here, God finds him too… and disrupts everything.
Out of the midst of the burning bush, the Living God calls out to Moses with words of both grave dis-comfort, and ultimate security. In this surprising exchange God is taking action to change the course of the story: for Moses, for Israel, and most dramatically for Pharaoh, challenging his brutal reign and prideful claim to power, and bringing to light God’s character of compassion and rescuing love.
Our text today dwells on Moses: God disrupts his new life, and calls Moses to go back to the land he fled from, to confront the most powerful leader of the most powerful empire of his day, and demand Pharaoh let his slaves… let God’s people, go. What God gives to Moses, out of the blue, is an overwhelming, and dangerous mission.
A scholar, Brevard Childs, sums up the effect this call had on Moses: “What began as just another day doing the same old thing, turned out to be an absolutely new experience for Moses. The old life of shepherding was ended; the new life of deliverer was beginning… The initiative is shifted from Moses to God. The ordinary experiences emerge as extraordinary. The old has been transformed into the new.” Suddenly Moses’ life is being taken up by God and drawn into His redemptive purposes and work in the world… that God’s mercy, and justice, and holy love might shine out into the darkness.
Are there moments in our own lives when things like this happen to us? Not God’s voice speaking to us from within a burning bush, but much more subtle moments when out of nowhere we are confronted with our own calling? When we know within our bones we are being urged to take action… to take part in something true and good, but also frightening? Those times when the Living God seems to be disrupting our comfortable stories in order to bring His New Life into our world?
As God’s people, Christians have been called to a distinctive, some might say disruptive form of life: set free from the grips of sin, in order to share in God’s holy love. In our reading from Romans today we can catch a glimpse of what that kind of life looks like, as St. Paul unpacks what it means to live for Christ; to be a living sacrifice. Some of it sounds wonderful: “love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” Some of it sounds daunting: “Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Live in harmony with one another; associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.” And some of it sounds dangerous: “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them… never avenge yourselves… if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink.”
Isn’t this going a bit too far? Isn’t this a little extreme? I mean, the world we know doesn’t work this way… blessing our enemies… refusing revenge… isn’t that a recipe for disaster? Won’t that lead to people taking advantage of us? How can we keep ourselves safe when God’s calling us to live so differently… to embrace the way of peace in an often hostile world?
In this we can hear echoes of Moses’ concerns about facing Pharaoh: feeling uncertain, inadequate, afraid and vulnerable. And here God’s words of comfort come to us as well… speaking to us in our distress as we seek to follow Him. Whatever Moses may face before Pharaoh… whatever we might face on our road… this is the comfort God offers us all: “I will be with you.” “I will be with you.” The comfort we have comes from trusting that the Living God is with us.
John Sailhamer, another Old Testament scholar makes a noteworthy point: “God responds to Moses’ question not by building up Moses’ confidence in himself but by the reassurance that he would be with him in carrying out his task.” Where today we might expect someone to encourage Moses to think more positively… to dig deep down and find the inner strength to face his challenges, God doesn’t leave Moses to lean on his own power, but to find the comfort and strength he needs by leaning on the LORD. The point isn’t that Moses is up for the task, but that the LORD almighty is.
The scholar John Goldingay makes this point even more strongly: “Moses is not being commissioned on the basis of his experience in the palace, his initiative, or his leadership potential… What counts is God’s “I will be with you.” This is not merely a promise that he will feel God is with him but a promise that God will be with him actively whether he feels it or not.”
The Living God, the LORD, Yahweh, the One who truly IS, invites Moses… invites Israel… invites us to trust Him. Even as He calls us to go where we’re frightened to go.
Last week we heard how Peter boldly confessed his faith in Jesus, proclaiming that He was the Messiah; God’s chosen Saviour. But today we heard how, moments later, Peter tries to disrupt Jesus’ mission… to dissuade his Master from taking the road of suffering to the cross.
No doubt, Peter thought he was helping… trying to offer support and comfort. But he was ultimately undermining God’s greatest act of salvation, not only for Israel, but for our entire world, trapped and burdened by the weight of evil and sin.
Jesus does not take the bait, and after calling Peter out, Christ turns to His disciples to make clear to them their calling: “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” The road of discipleship… of the Christian life… is not traveled by playing it safe, but by trusting the LORD. By following the Living God, and His Son who was sent to save us. Who promises again and again that He will be with us always.
Christ’s call is disruptive: it leads us to the cross, and to the dismantling of sins grip on us, both inside and out. Dying to all that is not of God in us. But it is precisely in following Christ to the cross that we find New Life in Him: freed by His sacrifice, forgiven by His blood, and filled with His Spirit to walk with Him in holiness. Though the Living God can be disruptive, unpredictable, even dangerous… He is also the source of our deepest comfort, freedom, and life.
In sending Moses back to Egypt, as frightening as that may have been, God disrupted the power of Pharaoh and brought new life to His people. In sending Jesus the Son of God to take our place on the cross, God disrupted the powers of evil, to set us all free from sin. And now, in sending the Church out into the world, through the power of His Spirit, the Living God is at work in us disrupting the darkness through His holy love: Changing the stories of those who find in Him eternal life. And wherever we are called to go, He promises to be right there with us. May that promise be our comfort, now and forever. Amen.

This week we are continuing our journey through the book of Exodus, where the Living God reveals Himself as Israel's Rescuer and Redeemer. Today we hear God's self-disclosure to Moses: unveiling His divine Name, identity, character, and purposes.
Also, last week I issued a challenge for our whole Parish to begin reading through the book of Exodus on our own, each at our own pace, in order to help us get a deeper sense of what God is up to, both in this book, and in our world. May the LORD God bless us as we seek to grow in His knowledge and saving love.

Scripture Readings: Exodus 1:8-2:10 | Psalm 124 | Romans 12:1-8 | Matthew 16:13-20
“But the midwives feared God; they did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them.”
So last week we found ourselves in the middle of an election again: we New Brunswickers will be choosing a new Provincial government in a little over three weeks from now. Political signs have been popping up around our communities, from candidates vying for our confidence, and for our votes. Right now, we are being offered competing visions for our future: different agendas for our Province… our communities, and our homes. But we are not simply being urged to agree with what each candidate or party stands for… we are being urged to take action. To do something tangible to help these leaders to accomplish their visions: we’re asked to cast our votes to empower them to take the lead in our land.
In a way, election days ask us to offer up our allegiance. Regardless of whether or not our party or candidate of choice gets voted in, our democracy regularly requires us to personally choose sides… and to take a simple, concrete step to show we’ve offered them our support.
We can find something similar going on in our Scripture readings today: In them, we are also being offered a unique vision of our future… inviting us to take part in it, not only with our minds, but also in concrete actions taken day in and day out. Unlike our elections though God is not after our votes for a few years in office… God is seeking our lifelong allegiance… our ongoing confidence and faithfulness. And though He wants us to join with Him and take part in what He is doing in the world… He does not actually need our co-operation or endorsement to see things through. The Living God is not really like the leaders we know here on earth: He does not depend on our approval or support… rather, God is freely and lovingly at work bringing about New Life.
In our Gospel reading today we heard one of the turning points in Matthew’s story. The disciples had been following Jesus for a while now up to this point, and they had begun to get a glimpse of what He’s about: His vision and mission in the world. They had seen Him cure the sick, miraculously feed the hungry, and display amazing power over spirits, and the forces of nature. They have seen Him go toe-to-toe with influential religious groups, and had heard Him teach the crowds about God’s good Kingdom. And now, Jesus, their Rabbi, asks them an important question: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter answers “You are the Messiah,” the Christ, the Chosen One, “the Son of the living God.”
This is a deeply pious statement: an expression of hope and faith, that in Jesus the Living God’s mission of mercy and justice are truly at hand. That in Jesus God’s promised deliverance, for which their people had hoped and prayed, was finally coming about. In Him, God’s salvation has come.
But Peter’s words are not simply pious, they’re political words as well… words that challenged the claims of others, like Caesar, or Herod, who seemed to be holding the world in their hands… words calling for concrete steps, for acts of allegiance to back them up. For to genuinely claim that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, it means a reordering and realigning of our lives is underway… so that, when the choice between His vision and mission is pitted against any other… we are called to enact our allegiance to Him: to live out our faithfulness.
Sometimes this is an easy choice to make… often it’s not… especially when the stakes are high, and lives are on the line.
That’s the kind of situation we heard about in our Old Testament passage this morning from Exodus: as the King of Egypt, Pharaoh, tries to cling to his hold on power, by ordering the Hebrew midwives to slay any male Israelite children being born. What a horrible vision of life when one man’s insecurity fuels the oppression and even murder of so many fellow humans. Sadly, our world has known far too many others who have followed Pharaoh’s lead… treating people created in God’s image as expendable and worthless… as mere obstacles to be removed in their thirst for power.
But in Exodus we hear about a different kind of power: the power to say ‘no’ to injustice and wickedness… a power that flows from the reverent fear of God, of placing His will above all others. We heard about to women, midwives named Shiphrah and Puah, who enacted their allegiance to God by defying Pharaoh’s evil demands, and saving the Israelite newborns. Risking much, they mess up Pharaoh’s genocidal intentions, at least for a time. And we are told God honours their faithfulness and draws them into His mission. Through their willingness to defy Pharaoh and live in line with God’s vision for the world, God brings to His people a deliverer… Moses - whom one day will be sent to confront Pharaoh on the LORD’s behalf: bringing low Pharaoh’s worldly power and pride, and ultimately defeating him, setting Israel free.
On their own it would be hard to see what lasting difference they could make, but through their simple powerful acts of faithfulness, these two Hebrew women took part in the much bigger story of God’s great rescue mission. “The author’s point is clear enough:” one scholar writes: “God is at work in these events to bring about his plan, and no one, not even the great power of the gentile nations, can stand in his way.” Even if it is hard to see how our choices and actions might make a difference, this story invites us to see God at work in our lives as well: eager to draw us into what He is doing in our world, bringing about His New Life to those being crushed down and oppressed.
After Peter’s proclamation that Jesus is the Messiah, our Lord goes on to tell His disciples that He too has been sent, like Moses, to confront and disarm the enemies of God… But to do so, Jesus, the Saviour, would be rejected, undergo great suffering, and be put to death. But rather than being a tragic end this was actually the way the powers of evil, sin, and death itself would finally be brought low, and ultimately defeated… for after three days, Jesus would be raised up again from the dead, filled with God’s New Eternal Life to share with the world. Despite all the schemes and plans at work in the world… In Christ Jesus God’s rescue mission has truly come about, and it will have the final say.
And through the Holy Spirit the Living God remains at work today. Often hidden from our view, and rarely operating in the ways that we would have guessed… God is still confronting and disarming the powers of evil through His faithful people: bringing forgiveness, wholeness, and holiness, bringing His New Life into our world, sharing the blessings of Christ’s victory through our simple faithfulness.
When we choose to be true to God’s Kingdom, to let His vision and saving work come to life in us, there’s no telling what the Living God has in store.
I’ll close now by repeating the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Romans, urging us all to offer our full allegiance our entire lives to the Lord:
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
By the grace of God, may this be so. Amen.

The story of Exodus, of the Living God's merciful rescue of Israel from slavery in Egypt, and calling them into a blessed and gracious community with Him, is one of the most foundational parts of the story of Scripture: laying much of the groundwork for how Christians throughout the centuries have understood the character and faithfulness of the LORD, and pointing ahead to God's ultimate act of salvation for the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Beginning this Sunday, we here at St. Luke's GP will be taking a closer look at the story of Exodus.
Our sermons this Fall will be focusing on our Old Testament Exodus readings, and when it resumes in September our Online Bible Study will be exploring the story of Exodus as well.
I am also challenging us all as a Parish to begin reading through the book of Exodus on our own, each at our own pace. As we do so, we may just be surprised at what we find in its pages, including some strong connections to our own contexts and stories of faith.
Finally, in order better understand where Exodus fits into the wider story of Scripture, here is a short (12+ minute) video from the Bible Project offering an informative overview of the whole Old Testament, or TaNaK, as it is originally known.
May we be encouraged and enjoy exploring Exodus together this Fall, and may the LORD continue His merciful work through us in the world.

Scripture Readings: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 | Psalm 67 | Romans 11:1–2a, 29–32 | Matthew 15:10-28
“But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.”
Cleanliness is a big concern these days… of course, for good reason. Though this was true long before the rise of COVID-19, and the renewed attention that has come along with it to simple practices like frequent hand-washing. The old phrase “Cleanliness is next to godliness” was quoted by the Anglican Priest and Methodist founder John Wesley, way back in a sermon from the 1780’s entitled “On Visiting the Sick”, and now questions of cleanliness come up when we consider visiting with anyone. As blessed as we have been for the most part here in Atlantic Canada, this ongoing global pandemic has still made us all more aware of the risks of being unclean… and what to do to avoid it.
In our Gospel passage this week we have two seemingly unrelated stories: Christ’s teachings on what it means to be truly unclean, brought about by a dispute about eating food with unwashed hands, and an uncomfortable encounter between our Lord, and a Canaanite woman. But as different as these stories may seem on the surface, held together they help to reveal what we could call spiritual cleanliness… helping us to understand what it means, and what it does not mean, to draw close to, and share our whole lives with, the Living God.
In the first part of our Gospel reading we hear Jesus teaching His followers that “it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles” (Matt. 15:11). He says this in response to a dispute about handwashing before eating, which the Pharisees, a devoutly religious group, insisted should be practiced by all… even though this tradition was not found in the Old Testament Law.
Now given what we know today about how germs and diseases are spread, everyone washing their hands before eating was certainly a good idea when it comes to promoting health. But the issue here was not really about
sanitation, but about sacredness: this was a debate about ritual purity… about cleanliness based on God’s Law, not about a healthy lifestyle or disease prevention.
In the ancient world, and in the Old Testament Law the concept of ritual purity, of spiritual cleanliness, was extremely important for maintaining a healthy relationship with the divine. Being ritually clean was about upholding the sacredness of God, recognizing that He is holy, and that to be with God, to share His life, we must be made holy too. One scholar writes that, in the Bible, “Cleanness is a condition of being obedient to the statutes and ordinances of the law, which allows one to encounter the holy without danger.” Being unclean meant that one was not prepared to draw close to the LORD… until the proper steps were taken to make one clean again. Hartley goes on to not that “There is no harm, however, in becoming unclean. Uncleanness neither harms or destroys. Destruction comes from the holy when uncleanness is brought into its presence... The danger lies in mixing holiness and uncleanness.”
In order to avoid any divine trouble, the Pharisees had gone well beyond the Old Testament Laws, and insisted that their own tradition of ritual handwashing made them spiritually superior. In short, they were focussing on outward practices they thought would make them fit to be closer to God… and they were upset when others, like Christ’s disciples, did not follow their lead.
But Jesus goes on to explain to His confused followers that the Pharisees are actually way off track; that for all their extra traditions that help them appear clean on the outside, they were not really doing much about being made clean on the inside… which is much more significant in shaping our lives: “[W]hat comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. 19 For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.” Here Christ is warning not only the Pharisees, but all who merely try to seem close to God on the outside, while letting sin run amok under the surface... where it draws us into all sorts of destructive and self-destructive ways of life.
Christ wants us to seethat Living God is concerned with our whole lives: our outward, public actions, and our inner selves as well. We need to do more than wash our hands: we need deep cleansing through and through.
After this, the Gospel story quickly shifts to this strange encounter between our Lord and a Canaanite woman… a mother… desperately begging Jesus to rescue her daughter from the destructive influence of a demon… a being also known as an unclean spirit… a rebellious spiritual creature at odds with the will of the Living God.
So much about this story is hard for us to hear: We’re told that Jesus at first simply ignores her heartfelt pleas… because she is not an Israelite; she is a Gentile, a Canaanite… a descendant of Israel’s enemies from centuries long past… and Christ says He “was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”. This response seems cold enough, but when the Canaanite mother does not give up Jesus makes use of an insulting Israelites term used to describe those “unclean” Gentiles: dogs.
Why does Jesus respond this way? What is going on here?
As I have said before, it is always dangerous to try and explain away the things about Jesus or the Living God that make us uncomfortable. We can easily fall into the temptation of trying to smooth over the rough edges of our faith instead of being open to God’s disruptive word to us. In fact, there are times when God seems to intend for us to be uncomfortable… to wrestle with Him, and seek to understand what He is doing… which can also force us to face what’s really going on in our own hearts… and exposing what lies deep beneath the surface of our lives.
Whatever the reason for Jesus’ strange response to the Canaanite mother, let us consider what happens as a result: In the face of apparent silence… rejection… and even insult, this Canaanite Gentile shows her true colours what was in the depths of her heart: she persists… she does not give up… she continues to believe… she places her faith, and the fate of her daughter, on the mercy of Jesus. Unlike the Pharisees, who seemed very concerned with being clean on the outside, yet who responded to Jesus’ ministry with insults and rejection… this unclean Gentile persevered and placed all her hope in Jesus, who sees and praises her for her great faith, and sets her child free… holding her up as an example for all who would follow Him.
The theologian Stanley Hauerwas points out how her humble faith continues to inspire the prayers of the Church even today: “This woman, this unknown Canaanite woman, not only becomes for us Gentiles the forerunner of our faith, but her reply to Jesus teaches us how to speak. It is not accidental that we are taught to pray before we receive the body and blood of Christ:
We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he is us. Amen.”
The Canaanite mother’s faith in the mercy and grace of Jesus point us to the source of our spiritual cleanliness: Christ’s own life offered in holy love on the cross for the world. N.T. Wright makes the point that “Ultimately, [Jesus] is himself the remedy, as in his death and resurrection, and the gift of the spirit, he deals with the wickedness and uncleanness that infects the human race.” It is through His saving work that we can be made clean, and now through what Jesus has done for us all can we truly draw near to, and share in, the life of the Living God.
If we seek to be cleansed, inside and out, we need more than outward rituals can offer. Like the Canaanite woman, we are invited to persist in placing our faith and our hope in Jesus: trusting in His mercy from the depths of our heart… even when we are tempted to believe He does not care. Time and again God has shown Himself to be rich in mercy towards all who cry out to Him. So let us hold fast to our faith and place our fullest hope in Him. Amen.

Around twenty million gamers spend 17 hours in front of their computer. That is more than two hours for each person on earth. Online gaming markets worth more than 15 billion dollars, with total of 40million users who registered in Play Station Network account. Amazingly, online gaming is equally divided in genders at 57 percent male players and 42 percent female players. With the progress in internet and technology, online gaming becomes more and more popular in different parts of the world.
It is a remarkable industry for the MBA candidates to discover couple of reasons: business plans are made for future and speedy connection is available to more individuals than before. The gamer stats on this info graphic would let the strategic leaders track the gaming patterns of all ages, trends, and gender as well as income level.
Online Gaming Stats
Online gamer stats covers places related to online game playing which includes game playing activity, number of gamers online, well known games, demographics of the game players, their productivity tool used in the games, and some other trends.
Online Gaming Business Stats
As what is stated in online gaming dealing stats, there are around 217 million games online in different parts of the world since 2007. Around 62% of these play online games and the left percent plays with console and play stations. Almost all of the games online are console owners too and are regular gamers from income households (around 35,000 to 75,000) from 25 to 44 years of age.
According to the study, 42% of the gamers are women and among the game system they used gaming online, the Xbox 360 has highest percentage of usage (which is 54%) followed with 45% PS2. console players which are inclined mostly to online games are Nintendo Wii users. They have 75 percent in online gaming. PS3 and Xbox 360 follows, each with around 7 to 10 reported to be in online gaming.
To increase their productivity tool, most of the players online spent hours playing. Xbox 360 leads in terms of hours each week playing online games, with mean of about 7.1 hrs per week. With regards to hours spent playing online games per week on Play Station 3, it obtains a mean of around 6.1 hours.
The leading ranking genres played online include puzzle, card, word games, and arcade with 44%, 25% for family oriented games, and 19% for MMOG or RPG. Family oriented, casual and gambling games garnered 17% in general by PC gamers online, whilst portable or console gamers were inclined more in non casual game genre like racing and shooting games.
This is what the online gamer stats mark in the early study made. The productivity tool provided and mostly sued by the games depends to what genres they are up to. | <urn:uuid:977253cc-39b3-4f80-9ad6-3cd426347367> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://betcup3.xyz/online-game-stat-and-the-online-gaming-industry | 2021-10-20T20:30:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585348.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020183354-20211020213354-00717.warc.gz | en | 0.960585 | 548 |
Fibre to the home (FTTH) is the hot new IT word on everyone’s lips, but how does it compare to traditional internet for homes and small offices? Our very own Warren Bricknell, MD of Mitsol, a layer two internet connectivity provider, answers some frequently asked questions on FTTH.

Tel Aviv University archaeologists have revealed that cloth samples found in the Israeli desert present the earliest evidence of plant-based textile dyeing in the region. They were found at a large-scale copper smelting site and a nearby temple in the copper ore district of Timna in Israel’s Arava desert and are estimated to date from the 13th-10th centuries BCE.
The wool and linen pieces shed light on a sophisticated textile industry and reveal details about a deeply hierarchical society dependent on long-distance trade to support its infrastructure in the unforgiving desert.
The study was published in PLOS ONE. It was led by Dr. Erez Ben-Yosef of TAU’s Department of Archaeology and Near Eastern Cultures and Dr. Naama Sukenik of the Israel Antiquities Authority; and conducted in collaboration with Vanessa Workman of TAU’s Department of Archaeology, Dr. Orit Shamir of the Israel Antiquities Authority and Dr. Zohar Amar, Dr. Alexander Varvak and Dr. David Iluz of Bar-Ilan University.
Textiles suggest significant social stratification
“This was clearly a formative period, with local kingdoms emerging and replacing Egyptian hegemony in Canaan,” Dr. Ben-Yosef said. “These beautiful masterpieces of weaving and dyeing — the first evidence of industrial dyeing at the time, of wash-resistant color on textile — support the idea of a strong, hierarchical Edomite Kingdom in Timna at the time.
“It is apparent that there was a dominant elite in this society that took pains to dress according to their ‘class,’ and had the means to engage in long-distance trade to transport these textiles — and other materials and resources — to the desert.”
The research suggests a sophisticated dyeing process involving cooking colorful plants in water, then adding fleece fixed with alum to create a chemical bond between fabrics and dye. The result is a wash-resistant colorful fabric.
The researchers radiocarbon-dated the textile pieces and harnessed gas chromatography to identify the cloth’s organic molecules. They found “red” molecules produced from the madder plant and “blue” molecules from the woad plant.
“Both plants were known in antiquity as sources of organic dyes,” said Dr. Ben-Yosef. “We know that these plants were used to create elaborate costumes during the Roman period, more than a thousand years later. Now we have evidence in the region of an Edomite society wearing textiles produced the same way, versus an earlier ‘primitive’ smearing of color on fabric.”
“We can make many inferences according to this discovery,” Dr. Ben-Yosef continued. “To force a large group of people to work in dangerous mines in the desert, you need a strong ruling party — an elite that probably wore exquisite clothes to further distinguish themselves. The smelters, working in furnaces, were considered ‘magicians’ or even priests, and they probably wore fine clothing too. They represented the highest level of society, managing a sensitive and complex process to produce copper from rock.”
Evidence of long-distance trade
The textile dye presents evidence of long-distance trade, Dr. Ben-Yosef noted. “Clearly this is not local. These plants require a lot of water and probably hail from the Mediterranean regions. The dyeing required special craftspeople, an entire industry that could not have subsisted in the desert. If Jerusalem was indeed opulent in the time of King Solomon, and the Temple covered in copper, we can assume a link to that kingdom.”
The textiles are currently being stored in special facilities at the Israel Antiquities Authority and will one day be presented in museums in Israel and elsewhere. | <urn:uuid:4eaea9fb-3ad8-4c35-ac24-8c3cac27fa79> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.archaeology.wiki/blog/2017/06/30/3000-year-old-textiles-earliest-evidence-chemical-dyeing-levant/ | 2020-11-24T03:28:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141171077.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20201124025131-20201124055131-00011.warc.gz | en | 0.951861 | 812 |
I have criticized the gender egalitarianism inserted into role playing games to allow for martial female protagonists who inexplicably still retain their femininity.
One way this is done is by confusing flexibility with agility (or dexterity). Women have greater range of motion than men do, primarily because they have smaller muscles. To confirm this in your own mind, think of the people you knew (or know) who could do the splits--they're probably all girls. Flexibility doesn't help much in a fight, though. Agility does, but men are faster than women are. In the virtual world, however, female characters regularly have greater agility than males do*.
Another method of achieving this is by giving women better luck than men. The attribute is fantasy, so it's hard to argue. Since men are better fighters than women are, let's just make up attributes that women excel in to move toward parity.
Similarly, females tend to be made better magic users than males are. Previously, I'd seen this in the same light as luck--a fantastical skill to give to women in greater abundance than men as a means of closing the martial gender gap. But maybe it's better conceived of as confusing real-world religiosity (or spirituality) with fictitious magic. By every measure, women are more religious than men are:
Reading Discovering God by Rodney Stark, it occured to me that magic is essentially an effort to influence supernatural forces (or supernaturally manipulate natural forces) to obtain some desired effect. So with a little suspension of disbelief, it sensible to assume females should be better magic wielders than males are. Have to believe in and be attuned to the supernatural to subject it to your commands, no?
* Relatedly, strength and agility are often contrasting attributes in the virtual world (think the lumbering warrior versus the hasty hunter). In reality, they are positively correlated. Boxers, wrestlers, and mixed martial artists are both strong and fast. | <urn:uuid:ecfeaf46-959d-4ab4-bb6c-81ee054063b2> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2009/04/gender-and-magic-in-rpgs.html?showComment=1240151760000 | 2016-07-30T07:16:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257832942.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071032-00282-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969262 | 399 |
A record six blue whales were spotted off the Washington coast last week, the most known sightings of the species ever off the state’s coast and only the third confirmed sighting in the last 50 years, according to Cascadia Research.
John Calambokidis, a research biologist with the Olympia-based group, was in one of two research vessels that spotted the creatures about 25 miles from Westport. His research has taken him all over the world and he’s spotted blue whales elsewhere, but this was the first time he’s seen one off the Washington coast.
“It was quite exciting,” he said. “We knew right away the trip was worthwhile.”
He recognized the whale by the light and mottled complexion and the very small dorsal fin, but largely because of its size. Blue whales are the largest mammal on Earth, perhaps the largest animal ever, reaching lengths of 100 feet and weighing perhaps as much as 150 tons, according to the American Cetacean Society. The whales are found in all oceans of the world.
Calambokidis said it’s possible the whales are more prevalent, but scientists don’t often get to observe them due to poor weather in the Washington winter. Last week was a big improvement; skies were sunny, though conditions were windy, he said.
Last week’s expedition was part of a new three-year effort by Cascadia Research to learn more about endangered whales off Washington and Oregon, according to its website. The effort is in collaboration with the Washington and Oregon departments of fish and wildlife and supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The research will include surveys, photographic identification and satellite tagging.
Scientists want to learn more about the endangered whales, whose population dwindled due to whaling and continues to be threatened by collisions with commercial ships. Estimates are that there were once more than 350,000 blue whales globally, but that has dwindled to fewer than 14,000, according to the American Cetacean Society.
“Our knowledge of whale distribution still needs improvement,” Calambokidis said.
The sightings will be compared against Cascadia’s photographic record of more than 2,000 identified blue whales to see if the whales spotted last week had been spotted before.
“Interestingly, ships are often unaware that they’ve struck a whale, so that’s part of the issue,” he said. “It’s very difficult for them to take actions in real time to avoid a ship strike.”
There are proposals to change shipping lanes in California to avoid concentrations of the whales, Calambokidis said.
He said Cascadia Research plans another trip to see the whales for further research, but it’s not for sightseers. “We don’t recommend them trying to go out to find these animals,” he said. | <urn:uuid:1d17de26-698d-41c3-883f-922108dea270> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/local/article22204518.html | 2017-10-18T18:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823067.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018180631-20171018200631-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.970693 | 610 |
NHTSA Fines Motorcycle Manufacturer for Failing to Follow Safety Recall Rules
Thousands of people die every year in motorcycle accidents. While driver negligence is the most frequent cause of a motorcycle wreck, it is important not to overlook potential safety defects in the vehicles themselves. One major U.S. motorcycle manufacturer recently paid a multi-million dollar fine after admitting it failed to follow federal rules in handling a safety-related recall last year.
Late Reporting, Inadequate Compliance
Triumph Motorcycles Ltd is the United Kingdom’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. Last September, Triumph issued a recall for over 1,300 motorcycles manufactured and sold in the United States. The recalled bikes, produced during 2012 and 2013, featured an automatic braking system. Triumph officials learned the four bolts that secured the braking system could loosen, causing the driver to lose steering ability and crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) oversees safety standards for motorcycles and other motor vehicles. The NHTSA requires all vehicle manufacturers notify “owners, purchasers, and dealers” in writing of a possible product defect. Additionally, the manufacturer must inform the NHTSA within “five working days” of the defect and any proposed notification letter. Failure to follow these rules may result in a civil penalty of $7,000 per violation.
In this case, the NHTSA determined Triumph failed to report its recall in a timely manner. Triumph acknowledged it first learned of the defective braking system in June 2013, three months before it informed the NHTSA. The company claimed it sent the NHTSA a report by email in June, but there was no record of the agency’s receipt. Furthermore, Triumph did not present the NHTSA with a draft of any recall letters, as required by the regulations.
The NHTSA also requires a manufacturer file quarterly reports on the progress of any safety-related recall. Triumph acknowledged it was late in making several of these reports. The company also admitted it “discovered deficiencies in the manner in which it collected” other safety data required by the NHTSA.
For all of these admitted violations, Triumph agreed to pay the NHTSA a fine of $1.4 million. The company will also owe another $1 million if it commits any future violations of recall reporting rules. Triumph must spend an additional $500,000 to improve its “processes and procedures for timely and accurate complying with reporting requirements [and] for timely making safety-related defect determinations to NHTSA.”
Have You Been Injured By a Defective Motorcycle?
The NHTSA’s reporting and oversight system does not cover any potential injury to a customer who may have used a defective motorcycle. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident and you believe a product defect may have been a contributing factor, it is important you seek advice from an experienced Tennessee personal injury attorney. The lawyers at Fox & Farley in Clinton can assist you with all types of vehicle accident and product liability claims. | <urn:uuid:9c2c8d77-8891-4db2-9797-d9f059e3cccc> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.foxandfarleylaw.com/nhtsa-fines-motorcycle-manufacturer-for-failing-to-follow-safety-recall-rules/ | 2020-05-28T12:12:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347396089.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200528104652-20200528134652-00467.warc.gz | en | 0.95826 | 622 |
Meet Jed Mitchell, Team NT’s first medallist at AWG 2018
Jed Mitchell won Team NT’s first ulu of the 2018 Arctic Winter Games on Monday. Then he decided to switch sports.
Only at the Arctic Winter Games do medallists immediately contemplate a different sport for next time. Jed says he’s interested in trying futsal in 2020, but he’ll keep his current sport – snowshoeing – as a backup.
Ollie reached Jed by phone in Hay River after he took silver in Monday’s snowshoe races. | <urn:uuid:3418a81d-adba-4805-8473-8d182bf2b901> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://cabinradio.ca/5562/on-air/lunchtime-news/meet-jed-mitchell-team-nts-first-medallist-at-awg-2018/ | 2019-02-21T15:08:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247504790.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221132217-20190221154217-00605.warc.gz | en | 0.961052 | 125 |

WASHINGTON — When the summer solstice arrives Wednesday, it will mark six months until the winter solstice on Dec. 21, when, according to some people’s reading of the Mayan Long Count calendar, the world will be destroyed.
Scientists and archeologists have debunked the doomsday theory, but it remains alive and well in popular culture.
“People who are not specialists in the Maya calendar have taken a few quotes and a few misunderstandings by scholars, and they’ve picked it up and run with it,” says Simon Martin, co-curator of a “Maya 2012: Lords of Time” museum exhibit in Philadelphia. “So it becomes somewhat unrecognizable.”
In 2009, the movie “2012”destroyed the world in the best special-effects fashion. The cable channel Spike TV has announced a new reality show called “Last Family on Earth,” in which one of the prizes is a spot in an underground bunker provided by Vivos, a company that sells space in such shelters. Vivos, for its part, maintains a countdown clock on its Website.
Striking a more positive note, the online stock trading firm Ameritrade suggests, “Say the sun rises on December 22, and you still need to retire. Ameritrade consultants can help you build a plan that suits your life.”
The end of days has been scheduled often during human history. The Bible’s Book of Revelation predicts it. Many Europeans expected the end of the world would come in the year 1000. More recently, American evangelist Harold Camping predicted doomsday would arrive May 21, 2011, then he switched the date to Oct. 21. Now he’s reconsidering.
The source of the current fear apparently is the end of the cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar, one of the Mayans’ many calendars. The Mayan culture in Middle America thrived for six centuries before collapsing around 900 A.D., according to recent scholarship, because of a series of droughts and possibly warfare. The Mayans were sophisticated calendar makers and time keepers; in Guatemala recently, a Mayan mural with calendar calculations etched on the walls was discovered.
Kate Quinn, director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, or the Penn Museum, where the “Lords of Time” exhibit was displayed, says that the previous end date on the Mayan Long Count calendar occurred 5,125 years ago and was regarded as a significant event.
“They really thought of it as the turning over of dates, as the rebirth, the reawakening — the time to really reflect and start anew and just refresh,” Quinn said. “They really believed in that in the same way that we do with our New Year’s resolutions, but this was a bigger one for them. A much larger time frame. A very big party.”
Martin, co-curator of the exhibit, says that because of different correlations of dates, there is some dispute over when the Mayan Long Count calendar actually will end this time. He said you might want to wait until Dec. 25 to be in the clear.
In September 2011, Archeology Magazine published an article exploring various doomsday theories, from black holes to magnetic fields. Even the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is getting into the act, with its “Ask an Astrobiologist” feature including a question-and-answer column on “Nibiru and Doomsday 2012.” (Nibiru is a planet that the ancient Sumerians forecast would hit and destroy Earth.) E.C. Krupp of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles wrote an article for Sky and Telescope magazine going through various theories, “The Great 2012 Doomsday Scare.”
“In various spiritual and religious beliefs we find evidence of the end. It comes back as a kind of classic theme in the culture that we’re imagining it’s about to end,” says author Ben Winters, whose new mystery, “The Last Policeman,” is based on the premise of Earth’s destruction from an asteroid.
The doomsday theories provide “a reason to not be engaged in the world as it is,” he said. “To be thinking about some imagined future, some brutal future. It’s a kind of a fantasy, it’s a kind of escapism.”
Quinn said, however, that when the museum polled visitors to the Maya 2012 exhibit, most people were unaware of the details behind the Mayan Long calendar and the end of days.
“You ask, how do you think the world’s going to end, and they say, ‘Well, it’s something with the sun, aren’t we going to crash into something?’or, ‘It’s going to be a flood,’ and they didn’t really know,” Quinn said. “So there seemed to be a lot of theories out there, and a lot of opportunities out there for us to help the public to be directed to what we know to be true.”
Martin said that doomsday scenarios seem to be a North American phenomenon dating to the 1970s.
“It is something that recurs in societies that are looking for answers beyond what science seems to offer,” Martin said. “I think that people aren’t always happy with what science tells them.”
One positive benefit of the possible end of days, however, could be a boom for tourism in Honduras and other areas where Mayan civilization thrived.
“The hotels are selling out; the restaurants are going to be booked,” Quinn said. “It’s a great opportunity for them to bring in tourists altogether because the people who are interested in this idea of apocalyptic thinking, whether they believe the world going to end or not, they understand that the event is going to be here. They want to be there at that time.”
Locals in those areas seem bemused by it all, Quinn said. While preparing for the exhibit, she said, the descendants of the Mayans asked her, “Why do you Americans think the world’s going to end? And what is it with you people? How can you possibly trace it back to us?”

- International Trade Centre. The current trend points strongly towards a sustained growth of the contribution of SME’s
- New legal framework allowing a more open global trading system. The reduction of tariff & non-tariff barriers has enabled smaller exporters the same market access that was previously the only accessible to large companies that had the resources necessary to set up a base in foreign markets
- Lower transport and communications costs. Technological advancements have increased the ease of communication as well as reduced transportation costs, making export markets more readily accessible

Here's another one of those pesky Norwegian recipes. I made these for my birthday yesterday, and they actually turned out really well for a first attempt!
These lovely sweet buns with a hint of warming cardamom, with a custard cream center, finished off with icing and dessicated coconut - surely that is a lot of good things in one go?
"Skoleboller" means school buns, and if you skip the dessicated coconut, they'll be "Sommer boller" - Summer buns, because of the little sun in the middle.
I had to use two recipe references here, as the recipe for the dough used a store-bought custard filling, whereas it is SO easy to whip up that you might as well make it yourself!
PS. If you live in the UK, you can usually get fresh yeast in the Polish shops (I always go there for either that or kefir, or both!), lovely people *smiles*
For the dough:
600g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp baking powder
100g butter, melted
50g fresh yeast
For the custard filling:
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tbsp cornflour
Icing made of icing sugar and a bit of water
- Start by making the dough: Mix all the dry ingredients in a big baking bowl, and make a well in the middle.
- In a small pot, melt the butter on low heat and add the milk, once it reaches 37ºC (you can dip your finger into it and almost not feel the liquid because it is body temperature). Take the casserole off the heat and crumble the yeast into it, stir until it is aaaaall dissolved. Pour into the well and make a dough. Kneading it until well combined. Place in the baking bowl covered in the warmest spot in the house/flat/whereveryouare (my spot was in the cubboard with the boiler - why have I not thought of that before?!).
- Leave it for about hald an hour until it has doubled in size.
- Now, pre-heat the oven to 225ºC.
- On a floured surface roll out the dough in 10-12 pieces and roll them into little buns. Place them on a baking paper clad baking tray and repeat with the remaining buns. Make a little well in the middle (like with thumb-print cookies only a little bigger).
- On to the eggy custard! Have all the ingredients for the custard in a little casserole, and whisk it free from lumps, nice and smooth. After about 3-5 minutes it will thicken. Don't worry if it curdles, that's OK. Just take the pot off the heat and whisk in another splash of milk. The custard can be a little lumpy anyway, cause it's going into the well! Take one teaspoon's worth of the custard and place it in the well. Let it rise for a second time for another 10-15 minutes.
- Brush the buns with the egg, and place in the middle of the oven and bake the buns for about 12-15 minutes until nice and golden. Cool for a little bit.
- Now comes the fun part! Make icing by using a cup or two with icing sugar and a little bit of water. Have a bowl of dessicated coconut next to it. First dip the top of the bun in icing (unless you wanna use a frosting bag and do it a little bit tidier - that's totally cool!) and then in the coconut - simples! Set them aside and let the icing dry a little, before serving.
I cannot think of much that beats a nice, warm, sweet pastry on an early Autumns eve! What is your favourite bake, and have you tried these before?
I am so happy and humbled by how many people turned up to celebrate with me last night, and I couldn't have asked for a better present! I hope you have a great day *smiles*

A mechanical engineer at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is trying to figure out how to build houses that will stand up better in tornadoes.
Fred Haan said steel plates can be added during the construction process that better connect a home’s roof to its walls, and the walls to the foundation. Those steel plates can make a big difference.
“Sometimes,” he said, “people think, ‘Oh, tornadoes are so terribly powerful…there‘s nothing you can do,‘ but it turns out that 90% of tornadoes are not the huge monster tornadoes that you see in Joplin, Missouri, or something like that. 90 percent are EF-2 or less.”
That’s comparable to the power of a hurricane. The simple steel plates Haan is suggesting, he said, are also sometimes called ‘hurricane clips’ or ‘hurricane straps.’ | <urn:uuid:3aa02951-e616-42ec-8015-24893dae6347> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/rose-hulman-engineer-working-tornado-resistant-homes-16798/ | 2016-02-09T03:41:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701156448.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193916-00219-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957658 | 199 |

Oct 05, 2006 — In the 1890s the town of Forestport in the southern Adirondacks was a rowdy logging town. The joke was there were more saloons than people. And no saloon had more of a reputation than the Hotel Doyle. When the paper mills started to shut down, it was at the Hotel Doyle that the townspeople hatched a plan to sabotage one of the levees on the Black River Canal. Three times they succeeded, each time bringing repair crews - and economic life - back to the region. Today the Hotel Doyle still stands. It's a biker bar called Scooter's. Gregory Warner went there last month for a poker run - kind of like bar hopping for charity on motorcycles. But as he found out, the poker run is about more than beer and wheels. It's another example of Forestport refusing to fade away. Go to full article
Sep 20, 2006 — Ethanol fuel is grain alcohol blended with regular gasoline. E10 is the most common blend, 10% ethanol, 90% gas. It runs in regular cars. About a third of the gas sold in America is E10. E85 is 85% ethanol and only runs in specially designed engines. Ethanol is big business for American corn farmers. But corn isn't the only crop you can make ethanol from. And it may not be the best, for the environment or for North Country farmers. New York State is taking steps towards a radically different kind of ethanol production. Gregory Warner reports. Go to full article
Sep 15, 2006 — We've been running a series about place names in the North Country. It started out by accident - a feature on Saint Lawrence led to more calls about local place names and their origins. Yesterday on All Before Five, host Gregory Warner and our own resident poet and historian Dale Hobson sat down to talk about a few place names you asked us to investigate. Starting with Slab City, a small area in West Potsdam. Gregory called Joretta Creighton, a 3rd generation Slab City resident who owns Bailey's Florists. She says the place got its name from the slab wood that was the refuse of the area's paper mills. Go to full article
May 29, 2006 — Hundreds of North Country college students have graduated over the last few weeks. But Adam LaSalle is part of a small group of Paul Smiths graduates heading off this summer to work on the professional logging circuit. Rodeo-like competitions are held around the country. LaSalle, who grew up in Williamstown, New York, will start by working a big show in Ketchikan, Alaska. He spoke with Brian Mann. Go to full article
Sep 10, 2004 — State officials are investigating claims of improper logging on timberlands in St. Lawrence County. The 19,000 acre parcel - which straddles the north branch of the Grasse River -- is protected by a state conservation deal. As Brian Mann reports, critics say problems with the project raise questions about bigger easement deals signed with International Paper and Champion. Go to full article
Oct 01, 2003 — After two years of painfully low prices, loggers in the North Country are seeing a rebound this fall. According to an article in the Glens Falls Post Star, prices for pulp wood have risen thirty percent in recent months. Brian Mann spoke with Eric Johnson, editor of Northern Logger magazine, based in Old Forge. Go to full article
Dec 12, 2002 — State officials in Albany have agreed to allow the use of rough cut lumber in construction projects. Without the change to state building codes, made on Wednesday, hundreds of small sawmills in the North Country would have been forced to shut down. Brian Mann has our story. Go to full article
Oct 09, 2001 — After months of stalled negotiations, the Finch Pruyn paper mill in Glenns Falls is urging workers to accept a new contract offer. The company is also threatening to hire permanent replacement workers. As Brian Mann reports, union leaders say the deal isn't good enough.

Dublin, August 12,2014 - yesterday, the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) held its General assembly in the Conrad Hotel, Dublin - an occasion for change and tribute as stated by its leaders.
Pat Hickey was elected unopposed for a new four-year term as President of the Olympic Council of Ireland, extending a record term of office since 1989.
Pat had already beaten the previous longest term as President of the OCI, a record held by Lord Killanin, who had served for 23 years between 1950 and 1973.
"I am delighted that I have been elected for another term and I will continue to work hard at the OCI and within the Olympic movement."
Apart from the normal business of the AGM, there were celebrations and tributes to mark the retiring of a number of long serving Officers and Executive Committee Members. Also, the election of two new officers and four new executive committee members took place. The largest number of changes since 1996.
To mark the contribution of the retiring officers and committee members, there were many tributes and presentations.
The first of the two retiring and long serving Officers - Peadar Casey, who first served as an Executive Committee Member since 1989 before being elected Honorary Treasurer in 1996. Peadar was greatly honoured on the night both in tributes and with tremendous applause for his contribution to the Olympic Council of Ireland. He was presented with both a special piece of Waterford Crystal and the Olympic Council of Irelands Medal of Honour by the President, Pat Hickey.
The second retiring officer - Dermot Sherlock, who first served as an Executive Committee Member since 1985 and First Vice President before being elected Honorary General Secretary in 1992. Dermot was greatly honoured on the night in both tributes and applause for his contribution to the Olympic Council of Ireland. He was presented with both a special piece of Waterford Crystal and the Olympic Council of Ireland Medal of Honour by the President, Pat Hickey.
Dermot Sherlock was also presented with the very prestigious International Olympic Committee Trophy presented by Pat Hickey, in his capacity as IOC Member for his outstanding service to the Olympic movement. | <urn:uuid:eee01b06-b029-41cd-9b27-ff2d96ebbea6> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.eurolympic.org/index.php/en/news/2705-noc-of-ireland-hickey-re-elected | 2016-04-29T01:54:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860110356.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161510-00169-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985353 | 440 |
It’s time for corporate photos! There is a general air of excitement around the office as the team idly chat about what to wear and how to do their hair. Some are excited for a new headshot. Others, not so much! Suddenly all the talk around the office water cooler is hairstyles, clothing and makeup.
Beyond generating excitement with the employees, there’s a lot of behind the scenes details that go into ensuring great corporate headshots that bring out the personality of your brand and your team.
It’s important to choose an experienced photographer so every employee feels comfortable and trusts that they will look great in their new photo.
The next big decision is deciding what type of background is right for you. Generally, it’s important to outline where you will be utilizing these photos. Is it for business cards only? Will they be going onto brochures? A website? Social media profiles such as LinkedIn? Large photographs in the office? Once you know what the photographs will be used for, that may help you decide what kind of background you think would be best. Of course, lean into your photographer for his or her expertise as well.
Most corporate headshots either have a white or grey background, have a branded background with the company logo on it, showcase the employees in their work environment, or are outside with nature or architecture in the background. That’s a lot of choices! And with each different background choice, the style of the photograph can change in a big way.
Let’s review the benefits and style for the most popular background choices for corporate headshots.
Solid Color Backdrop
For a traditional headshot, some companies will elect to have their headshots done in a studio setting with a solid color backdrop. Most commonly, you will see white, black, or muted greys or neutrals. These headshots look traditional and very corporate.
Some businesses will incorporate their brand color (or a muted version) as the background. This can add an element of fun and uniqueness to the photographs. It will also help ensure that the photographs match the brand colors of the corporate materials they are being used in.
A solid background really places the focal point on the person as there are no other details to distract the eye.
When a business chooses a solid color backdrop for their corporate headshots, it is easy to schedule the photography shoots. Employees can book appointments at the studio at convenient times and new employees, or those needing an updated picture, can be assured their photograph will look the same as the others in the company.
With studio backdrop headshots, a company doesn’t have to plan a ‘headshot day’ but can book appointments as needed.
If your company has a showpiece logo in your office space, you may want to consider having headshots done with this in the background.
This type of background clearly puts the focus not only on your employees, but also on your business. Think about all the headshots you see on any given day. Remove that headshot from the brochure, business card or LinkedIn profile and can you discern where this person works? Likely not!
For businesses who are looking to increase their brand awareness and connect their staff with their brand, this is an excellent option. It’s unique and sets your brand apart.
Depending on the number of new employees you bring on, you can hire the photographer back intermittently.
Your Office Can Be The Background
Many businesses have their corporate headshots taken right within their offices. This is a great way to ensure your employees’ headshots stand out.
If you have a focal hallway, boardroom or entrance you may want to consider having the photographs taken there. Some choose to have this type of background blurred, but of course ensuring it is still recognizable as their office. Others leave it as is.
In addition, some businesses go one step further and have each employee at their desk or place of work. This not only adds your office into the photograph, but really places the employee into context of their job. This really allows for their personality to shine through, too. Plus, people are generally comfortable in a familiar environment which can help ensure they are relaxed during the shoot.
You can schedule the photographer for intermittent appointments when you have new staff.
Using Nature as the Backdrop
For many businesses, they want to move away from the standard studio portrait shot and want to head outside for their photos. Often when corporate portraits are taken outside, nature ends up being the natural backdrop.
Others find unique outdoor backdrops including various types of walls (brick, metal, etc.) and buildings.
As a fun bonus, the employees feel like they’re going on a field trip on photo day and it gets them out of their regular work environment.
If you are looking for outdoor photography, your photographer may have some suggestions that will help you stand out.
When it comes to booking outdoor headshots there are a few things to keep in mind including time of day (for lighting) and the weather. While shots outside are stunning, it can be more difficult to reproduce similar styles as new employees come on board.
In conclusion, there are many options when it comes to selecting the right backdrop for your team’s headshots. While you could do the more corporate solid background, others are looking to infuse their brand and personality into the backdrop.
How much of your brand and personality you want to come through will help determine where the shots should be taken.
In addition, considerations such as clothing color should also be taken into account in order to have a consistent look from one employee to the next.
Lean on your photographer for experience. An experienced photographer can help ensure that your vision is brought to light in the best way (and with the best background) possible.

Hypertension (blood pressure higher than 140/90) rarely presents symptoms, which is probably why only about a third of those with the problem even know they have it. And a number of people do: High blood pressure affects around one in three American adults.
The condition can be bad news if left untreated, raising your risk of such ailments as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness.
Genetics and obesity contribute to hypertension in both men and women, but women have a special set of risk factors: According to the American Heart Association, a woman's chance of developing high blood pressure increases if she's pregnant or taking certain birth control pills. And the condition gets more likely for all of us as we age: People with normal blood pressure at age 55 have a 90 percent risk of becoming hypertensive.
Fortunately, there's a lot you can do to outsmart high blood pressure, say experts. A study of nearly 84,000 women in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that making lifestyle changes now, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, may lower your risk of developing the condition later in life by as much as 78 percent. If you already have hypertension, lifestyle changes are equally important; they can sometimes reduce or eliminate the need for medication.
"Your blood pressure is really one of the best representations of how well you're living -- what you eat, how often you exercise, how you deal with stress," says Mitchell Krucoff, M.D., a professor of cardiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. These key steps can keep your numbers in check.
A whole foods diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and healthy fats (monounsaturated and omega-3s) will help keep your blood pressure at healthy levels, says Stephen Devries, M.D., an associate professor in Northwestern University's Division of Cardiology in Chicago.
For people with pre- to moderate hypertension, studies show the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which is based on many of the same principles, is a significant help in managing the condition.
Choose healthy proteins. A study in the Journal of Hypertension found that women who ate more than one-and-a-half weekly servings of red meat had a significantly higher risk of hypertension than those who ate meat less often.
In another large study published in Circulation, people who ate higher proportions of vegetable protein (found in beans, soy, and whole grains) had lower blood pressure.
Other research shows that the omega-3 fats in certain fish may slightly decrease blood pressure as well. Cardiologist Mimi Guarneri, M.D., medical director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in San Diego, suggests aiming for two to three weekly servings of fatty fish like wild salmon and unsalted sardines.
Cut the salt. The average American consumes in excess of 3,400 mg of salt a day but doesn't need more than 2,300 mg -- that's about one teaspoon of table salt. Most of it comes from processed foods (as much as 77 percent, on average).
"There's no question that sodium intake plays a key role in high blood pressure," says Krucoff. Salt can increase your blood volume, making your heart pump harder and driving up your blood pressure.
In addition to eating a mainly whole foods diet (which is naturally low in salt), get in the habit of scanning labels for sodium content, advises Guarneri. Pay particular attention to canned soups and frozen meals, which tend to be salt mines. To season foods, opt for herbs and spices.
Boost your potassium intake. Potassium is a mineral necessary for healthy blood pressure. A study in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that increasing potassium and lowering salt proved more effective than making either change individually. Most adults need 4.7 grams of potassium daily, but many get only about half that much.
The best way to bump up your potassium is through a diet rich in foods like bananas, citrus fruits, avocados, tomatoes, potatoes, melons, and legumes, says Devries.
Exercise also plays a crucial role in preventing hypertension: It fortifies your heart, which reduces stress on your arteries and lowers blood pressure.
Aerobic activity -- anything that gets your heart pumping -- can lower systolic blood pressure (the top number, which gauges the pressure when the heart contracts) by 5 to 10 mm Hg (that's the unit by which blood pressure is measured).
If you're hovering at unhealthy levels, that may be enough to keep you off medication. Exercise can also help you get to a healthy weight and stay there, another important factor. In one review of studies, hypertensive people who lost 8.8 pounds lowered their systolic blood pressure by 6 mm Hg. Guarneri recommends at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week.
Research also shows that regular strength training can help prevent -- and even treat -- hypertension. One review of published studies found that people who regularly lifted weights lowered their diastolic pressure (the bottom number, which gauges the pressure when the heart is at rest) by 3.5 mm Hg. Those in good health should make strength training a twice-a-week habit, says Guarneri.
Exercise helps fight another enemy of healthy blood pressure -- stress. "Stress and anxiety are huge contributors to high blood pressure," says Devries. Both stimulate your nervous system to raise levels of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that narrow blood vessels and thus, over time, can increase your risk of developing hypertension.
Devries recommends mind-body disciplines like yoga and tai chi, which studies show can help decrease blood pressure.
You can also learn to cope just by recognizing what frazzles you most. Keep a journal to track your various stressors -- financial concerns, relationship woes, workplace problems -- as well as how you react to them. Simply being aware of the situations that set you off can leave you better prepared to handle them the next time.
And when you get a sudden attack of the nerves? Try deep breathing. "Just taking a few deep breaths can help relax your blood vessels," explains Krucoff. Inhale and exhale for five seconds each, offers Guarneri. This simple exercise can work both in the moment and as a preventive measure (stop and breathe deeply several times throughout the day), keeping stress hormones in check.
For that matter, says Guarneri, "Anything that keeps your mind from wandering to negative thoughts will help." Meditation is one option, but other gentle activities like listening to music, knitting, or reading a book might do the trick. The main point is that you make time every day to relax and check out.
If you already have hypertension, these supplements (along with diet and lifestyle changes) can help, say our experts. Just consult with your doctor first, and take them only under her supervision.
Research suggests that people with hypertension have low blood levels of CoQ10, an antioxidant compound needed for basic cell functions. One 2007 review concluded that taking the supplement alone or along with hypertension medication looked promising for lowering blood pressure. Devries recommends 100 to 200 mg of CoQ10 a day.
Studies show that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements can benefit heart health in general, and specifically may improve the flexibility of blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Look for products that contain a mix of both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3s, and take at least 1 gram a day, says Guarneri.
A recent study in the Journal of Hypertension shows that patients with mildly elevated blood pressure who took magnesium supplements had "small but consistent" blood pressure reductions. Guarneri recommends taking 250 mg of chelated magnesium two times a day. | <urn:uuid:524f9024-9533-4408-879b-5984b60ec151> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.wholeliving.com/134609/take-pressure-8-ways-reduce-your-risk-hypertension?center=136756&gallery=135931&slide=106625 | 2014-11-27T19:36:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931009084.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155649-00157-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947437 | 1,648 |

A Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology: Getting Started in the Field
You might think you’ll need a Master’s or a Doctor’s degree in Psychology to begin working in the psychology field. But with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from one of Argosy University’s campuses—including Argosy University, Online Programs—you can graduate with the tools you’ll need to pursue entry-level employment in psychology.
What can you do with a psychology degree? The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Argosy University prepares you for entry-level employment as an academic advisor, career advisor, case manager, child care worker, counselor, human resources administration, or social services/human services assistant.
According to the American Psychological Association, “employers want and need the communication and interpersonal skills [that psychology majors bring to the workplace]. Their ability to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data—and, perhaps most important, their strong understanding of human behavior.” The association continues that many psychology majors find jobs managing human resource departments or working as recruiters.
What You’ll Study in Argosy University’s Psychology Degree Program
Argosy University’s Psychology program allows you to build a broad, basic understanding of social sciences theory and application. Within the program, you’ll complete a dynamic group of psychology core and elective courses. And at the Bachelor’s degree level, you may choose from concentrations including Advanced Studies in Psychology, Criminal Justice, Human Services, Organizational Psychology, Substance Abuse, and Child and Adolescent Studies.

Life After Graduation
The American Psychological Association notes that finding your first job in the psychology field can be challenging—but provides tips to help you along the way.
First, plan early. Meet with your advisor to discuss career plans and create a path to get there. Also assess yourself—understand who you are and what you want from your psychology career.
Use your connections and keep making connections. Networking is beneficial in all industries, but having a mentor or working in an internship can help you to land your first psychology-related job after graduation.
And once you’ve completed your BA in psychology degree, don’t stop communicating with your school. Career services representatives can be a wealth of information when it comes to job openings, internship opportunities, and advice.

Hello again!! The school year has been a good one so far for the kids in F3.
We started to have centers for literacy time. During this time, the students are reflecting on our read aloud book, A Girl, In Parts, learning about grammar usage, reading about the presidential candidates, buddy reading a short fiction story together, or reading a book of their choosing on their own.
In science, we started a unit called Micros and Me. Maple School has had a partnership with the UW Department of Education Graduate program, and through this partnership, a unit that would have otherwise been just about cells is now also about health issues in our community. After we get back from Camp Seymour, kids will be interviewing members of their community about health issues that affect us on Beacon Hill. Parents, if you yourselves, or if you know of anyone who is a health care provider, please contact me.
We'll be leaving for camp on Wednesday morning. Please make sure your child beings a sack lunch for Wednesday. All other meals will be provided. If you'd like to send a message to your child while they are at camp, please visit the Camp Seymour website. They will be happy to print out any messages you send.
Your child will be quite sleepy on Friday afternoon. If you are able to PLEASE pick your child up on Friday at 2pm. They will have stories for you all weekend long. :)
That's all for now!

It is almost done. And director Ali Abbas Zafar says it’s been a load of fun. The shooting of Tiger Zinda Hai is now largely done. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have moved to Abu Dhabi for the last leg of shooting.
Says a source close to the project, “The film is 70 percent complete. The unit shot in Morocco last month. They are now shooting in Abu Dhabi for the last schedule. The entire shooting will be wrapped up by the first week of September.”
Sources from Abhu Dhabi say Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif share an amazing comfort level. “They’ve taken their relationship to the next level. There is an amazing understanding between them now. They sit and chat for hours between shots.He gives her a lot of gyan between the shots. Earlier she didn’t listen to him.Now she does. Very carefully,” says a source from the location.
Salman’s special friend Iluia Vantur is expected to join him at Abu Dhabi soon. “And there is no stress about it. Katrina and Iluia have found a common ground. They both know they can’t take each other’s place in Salman’s life,” says a source close to Salman. | <urn:uuid:cca63b11-b33d-4438-8d90-45be35366e52> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/ali-abbas-zafar-commences-last-leg-shooting-tiger-zinda-hai-salman-khan-iluia-vantur-join-team/ | 2019-10-18T19:11:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986684425.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20191018181458-20191018204958-00463.warc.gz | en | 0.967298 | 273 |

She says that won’t happen, I love you, everything is just perfect. Nikhil thinks my revenge will be perfect. He holds her close and compliments her. He sweetly talks. He plays music and dances with her. Kuch to hai….plays…. He thinks to set her mood and see how she doesn’t get carried away.
Raman asks Ishita is everything fine. She says I feel strange, I m fine, but feeling wrong about Ruhi. He asks her to call Ruhi. She says I told Aaliya to take care of Ruhi. Pihu comes and says we shall leave home. Raman says teacher told good things about you, why are you upset. Pihu says Riya is calling me Maasi. Ishita laughs and says we will tell her not to call you Maasi. Raman hopes Pihu should never become Riya’s Maasi.
Simmi does Aaliya’s aid. Aaliya says Ruhi didn’t come till now, Ishita asked me not to send Ruhi alone. Simmi says she will come, shopping takes time. Aaliya says situation is different. Simmi takes phone from her and asks her to just take care. She goes. Aaliya calls Ishita from landline. Ishita asks what, I told you to be with Ruhi, she didn’t come till now, fine we are coming. She tells Raman that Ruhi didn’t come back home.
Nikhil holds Ruhi close to kiss. Ruhi gets away. He gets angry. She says not now. He says sorry, I missed you a lot and got carried away. She says don’t be sorry, its okay, its just few days to become husband and wife, then we will be together, we have to think of practical things, where will we live, I made entire list, did you get house. He says yes, Parmeet selected two, we have to final one. She says I will decide furniture and interior. He says enough, I m setting romance, you are saying this. They hug and profess love.
Raman asks Simmi why did you let Ruhi go. She says she went to designer. Raman asks Aaliya to call designer Aaliya calls and says Ruhi is not with designer. Simmi says call Ruhi then. Ishita says you call Parmeet and ask him about Nikhil. Simmi says don’t involve him. Raman shouts call him and ask, put on speaker, I have to listen.

Mani calls Raman and says that girl in asylum is not Nikhil’s relative, he is lying to get Ruhi’s sympathy. Raman says he is trapping Ruhi, she is not at home, can you find out.

Ruhi says we have to file for Riya’s custody after marriage. He says I m very lucky, that’s so sweet, I didn’t think so. He sees Raman’s call on her phone.

I may be going out on a limb here, and maybe I’m in the minority, but I highly dislike when God is pulled into political arguments to make a “point” by people who really have, to be blunt, no clue what they are talking about. These people usually try to pigeonhole the Lord into two categories – love and vengeance. They focus on very narrow parts of the Bible, mostly “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” and then will pick and choose various parts of Leviticus and Deuteronomy to show how most of the Old Testament isn’t relevant anymore and can be conveniently ignored since we are cool with divorce and eating shellfish.
Theologian, I am not, but I do pay attention to the world around me, have been blessed to have friends willing to engage in spiritual and religious discussions, and I know some truly wonderful people who have dedicated their lives to God, both lay and religious. I know people who consider themselves “spiritual but not religious” and others who have cast away whatever religious upbringing they might have had and consider themselves agnostic or atheistic. Others may have no spiritual or religious guidance and float from church to church still seeking something, and they themselves are not sure what it is. None of them deny that human beings are made not only of mind and body, but spirit as well. Perhaps this is why it irks me so much when people try to use God, and it is always the Judeo-Christian God, to serve their own political ends. We must accept gay “marriage”, because Jesus said we must love everyone. We must not judge the woman who has an abortion, because Jesus said, “Judge not, less ye be judged”. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone used the story of Jesus stopping the crowd from stoning the prostitute to defend the hook-up culture*.
The problem with only using these few verses or passages is that there are 73 books in the Catholic Bible. Protestant versions vary; the King James version, for example, has 80. Out of these books, there are countless verses, as each verse is only a sentence or two. So yes, Jesus did say, “Do unto others whatever you would have them do unto you. This is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12) but a few verses later He followed that with “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'” (Matthew 7:21-23) In Matthew alone, Jesus speaks of punishment for wrongdoing at least as much as he preaches love and forgiveness. Indeed, he often speaks of ways to avoid sin, to give up material world goods in order to bring oneself closer to His Father. Does your hand or eye cause you to sin? Pluck it out or chop it off. Better to lose a hand or an eye than to suffer eternal damnation in the fires of Hell. Men, stop oogling women. He who hath looked at a woman with lust in his heart has committed adultery with her already. That’s a two-fer right there, with the 9th Commandment (adultery) and one of the Seven Deadly Sins (lust). Moses permitted divorce, but Jesus spoke against the practice, again saying that it forced women to commit adultery.
Here’s the long and short of it. People sin. We do bad things, we hurt others. We make mistakes, we falter. We tell little white lies, and we tell big whoppers. We mess up. Big time. God knew that 2000+ years ago, and Jesus came down to take the heat for us. Instead of us suffering eternal damnation with no hope of Heaven, He took the punishment. We’re not entirely off the hook though. Like a parent, God is looking out for our best interests. He will comfort us when we’re sad, rejoice with us when we’re happy, and when we screw up, as we will do inevitably, we will be punished in some way. A child who was allowed to run roughshod over his parents is a child who will grow up to be a spoilt pain in the butt. Any parent of a toddler knows the benefits of a time-out. Yes, God DOES love us, more than anything, because like we create our children, God created us in His image. Like we reprimand children when they misbehave, so must we be reprimanded. It’s the consequence of having free will. Catholics call that place of “eternal-yet-temporary” time-out Purgatory. It is, from accounts I’ve read, definitely a place of punishment, and not in the “sit here and think about what you did” type, but bearable because souls there know that it is temporary and one day we will be reunited with Christ.
Beyond that? God is God. The Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. He cannot fit into any little political idea. He cannot be narrowed into one, concise statement like “God is love” fluff. That’s just the first sentence. God just IS. In fact, He summed it all up quite nicely Himself, without any help from us.
*For what it’s worth, His last words to the prostitute were, “Go forth, and sin no more.”
EDIT: I found this blog post over at the Matt Walsh Blog. It’s one of my favorite blogs, and Matt pretty much summed up what I said above, just better. 🙂 I hope he won’t mind that I’m linking to it from here.

5 Tips to Survive Your Business Startup First Year
As every business owner can tell you, one of the hardest time in a business lifetime is the first year. Research reports show that three out of ten startups don’t survive the first two years and half of those will close their doors in the next five years.
How to change those odds, so your business will survive that hard first years? Here are some tips you should take to improve the odds:
Talk to Customers
This is important for every business, but is especially important for startups. Doing the market research will help you (the business owner) to avoid mistakes or at least detect the mistakes before they are made. Something’s to look for are: is the business being done in the right market and are your products marked at the right price.
Whether you need to pick a retail location or a website domain name make sure it is easy to find and accessible by potential customers. Also the name of your business should match your business and should be easy to remember.
Keep Expenses Down
Every business needs a cash buffer in case it needs to react at changing markets or other business related circumstances. This is especially true for startups, so try to keep expenses down. Try to save or reserve a certain portion of the profits to build a cash buffer.
Analyze your Startup
You need to make time each week/month to analyze how your business is doing. We know time is hard to find, especially in the startup days, but it is very important to know where your business is heading. Without this knowledge it’s hard to make the right business decisions.
Planning for Problems
By creating a cash buffer for your business you are already planning for problems, but you can do more. Try to create possible problem scenarios and try to make a plan on how you will react in those circumstances. For example: what will you do if business is slowing down? Or what will you do if a certain product isn’t selling as expected? Or what will you do if a product took off and you can’t keep up with production?
These are some lessons we’ve learned, so how did you get your business through the first year(s)?

WHO WE ARE
A large and showy plant great for indoors.
Fairly easy to care for. Avoid overwatering--it prefers consistently moist, but not wet, soil.
It grows best in bright, filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, and not enough light stunts its growth.
This was grown in our greenhouse here at Seguin Gardens. | <urn:uuid:713757b0-bf25-423f-934a-52b6b81be12b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.seguingardens.com/products/ucpsdieffenbachiain4inchpot | 2022-01-27T14:33:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305266.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127133107-20220127163107-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.764787 | 225 |

In the coming weeks, the Israeli government is expected to demolish the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, located east of Jerusalem. The destruction of the village is a dangerous precedent that will serve as a launching pad for the evacuation of some 2,000 additional Bedouin residents in the E1 area. The court is expected to approve the destruction in the coming days, and it will then be in the hands of the political decision of the Israeli government to implement it or to change the policy and let them stay.
Members of the Jahalin tribe living in the village were expelled from Israel from the Tel Arad area in the Negev in the early 1950s, and became refugees. After a period of migration north, in the southern Hebron hills, a number of the Jahalin communities settled in the Khan al-Ahmar with the consent of the Palestinian landowners. However, Israel, which had occupied the land since 1967, later declared the lands inhabited by the tribe as state lands, and settlements were established in the area. The Israeli policy was to curtail the Bedouin’s way of life with the intention of removing them from the area: Israel refused to issue construction permits for them and instead issued demolition orders for every structure they built (tents, fences, huts etc.).
The School in Khan Al-Ahmar
In the past, the children of Khan al-Ahmar had to study far away – in Abu Dis or Jericho – and some did not even study at all. In 2009, the community established a school in the area, in order to provide all children with a basic education. This was done with the help of international organizations specializing in ecological construction, which built a small school out of used tires and local mud. This school currently has 160 students, from grades 1 to 9, all of whom live in surrounding Bedouin communities.
Immediately after completion of the construction, demolition orders were issued by the Civil Administration, and for many years the nearby Israeli settlements of Kfar Adumim, Alon and Nofei Prat, in cooperation with the right-wing Regavim organization, have been engaged in a legal and political battle to implement the orders, claiming that the Jahalin residence on the Jerusalem-Jericho road constitutes a strategic threat to Israel. Four petitions were submitted to the High Court of Justice, the last one focusing on the demolition of the school made of tires and mud. In response to this petition, the state announced that the Defense Minister has ruled to demolish the school and the nearby community by June 2018.
Because of the High Court of Justice ruling that the state must offer an alternative to housing, the residents of Khan al-Ahmar were offered to move to a compound located in an urban area adjacent to the Palestinian town of Abu Dis – located adjacent to the dumping site of the Jerusalem area. This proposal, which is practically a forced relocation of a community, constitutes a violation of the international law and cannot be implemented in any form: densely populated urban areas will destroy the bedouin’s culture and way of life, they will lose their traditional sources of employment and it will cause far-reaching social and economic problems especially for the women of the community, as seen in past experience (when in the 90’s other parts of the Jahalin tribe were forcibly moved to Al-Jabal area in Abu Dis in order to enable the expansion of the Maale Adumim settlement). In addition, although the proposed land in Abu Dis has been declared state land, its owners have not accepted this and are firmly opposed to settling the Bedouin on land that they regard as private and belonging to them. The Abu Dis municipality even gave the tribe a clear threat not to dare to settle there. It is clear that the Jahalin community will not be able to move to a place where they are so threatened and unwanted.
For an in-depth study of the Bedouin communities in E1 area see Bimkom’s study here
Peace Now: the State of Israel must implement a policy of moral values, justice, equality and human rights for the Jahalin people. It is not in the Israeli interest to forcibly move them from their homes. We must stop the abuse that has been going on for decades, and allow them to live according to their way of life, to make a living and to educate their children in a way that is no different from that of the Jews living in their neighborhoods. | <urn:uuid:883271a1-2147-4cbc-a063-07303dae1c4c> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.jahalin.org/impending-destruction-of-khan-al-ahmar-village/ | 2021-01-20T02:47:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519883.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210120023125-20210120053125-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.977707 | 914 |

Underfloor heating (and cooling, although this article focuses on the heating aspects solely) is, in a nutshell, a form of central heating that achieves indoor climate (temperature) control using conduction, radiation, and convection. Underfloor heating is also commonly known as radiant heating, simply because radiation is responsible for much of the heat felt. (Although this is technically not always the case.)
Imagine waking up, climbing out of bed, and stepping not onto ice blocks that are your morning floorboards but instead onto a comfortably warm floor. Sounds nice, doesn’t it, especially at the approach of cooler fall, and then downright icy winter, weather. The way to achieve this toasty method of home heating is through underfloor heating. If it sounds complicated and intimidating, read on – you might be surprised to learn that it’s not that far out of reach for even the most traditional minds.
Keep in mind that marble floors need to be sealed and maintained on a regular basis if you want them to look beautiful for a long time and to also last longer. The living room is not exactly a space where you can make compromises so be prepared.

Back in early May of this year, the Dorchester Times took the rare step of endorsing a candidate in the presidential primary election. And we endorsed Donald Trump.
Now, half a year later, the nation's citizens have elected Mr. Trump the next president of the United States.
We won't rehash all the reasons why they made the correct choice. We will, however, rejuvenate an optimistic phrase from years ago: It's morning again in America.
Godspeed, President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect Pence. Both the American people and their government face tremendous challenges. It will undoubtedly take the country working together, unified as one, to overcome them. | <urn:uuid:4d7cb8ee-3a4c-487c-84b6-b6c778461756> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://dorchestertimes.blogspot.com/2016/11/congratulations-president-elect-trump.html | 2017-09-23T20:08:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689775.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923194310-20170923214310-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.945602 | 137 |

Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that Ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that’s made
To a green thought in a green shade.

Good evening y’all! I am sorry that I am a little late with my pick-me-up Thursday quote, but better late than never! I hope y’all had a good day and you are looking forward to a lovely weekend! I know I have already said this, but I am still getting back into the swing of things after the big move! It definitely hasn’t been easy, but life is what you make of it, right? We all have a choice as to how we live our life! I do believe that happiness is a choice and life does work out the way it is meant to in time!
I hope you find great meaning in the quote I am going to share with you! I am definitely not the best at remaining calm at all times, but I am trying to get better at this. I guess you can say the older I get the more I realize that getting worked up over things doesn’t help the situation, it only makes things much worse for the one dealing with it! When I get worked up about simple issues it makes me feel terrible for days and nothing gets accomplished.
I am hoping to get back to my normal routine next week, but working full-time again is rather draining! Always know that I am sending y’all LOTS of love and comfort! | <urn:uuid:edd355a8-db43-4b17-9f89-73edc4b63199> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://fightmsdaily.com/2018/10/04/pick-me-up-thursday-10/ | 2019-02-19T19:36:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247491141.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190219183054-20190219205054-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.974152 | 273 |

Watch Repair Toolkit
Although watchmaking and watch repair are very interesting careers.
It is quite simple to become overwhelmed or even get carried away with the wide variety of watch equipment available today.
In order to get started and build a watch repair kit.
I thought it could be useful to identify some of the most important equipment that any professional horologist should buy.
1. Case Opener for Watches
The back and/or front of the watch must be taken off before you can even open it up to see what might be the source of a problem or perform a routine maintenance procedure.
You might need to screw off the back or lever off the front and back of the watch, depending on the type.
Watches with screw backs require specialized tools, such as an adjustable Jaxa tool or the watchmaker’s own tool for removing the screw back.
A straightforward case opening knife can be used to remove timepieces with a snap-on front and back.
The Bergeon Case opener knives are made with a short, blunt blade that can be put into a case back’s chamfer and then rotated counterclockwise to release the case back.
On some case knives, the case knife is on one end and a sharp blade is on the other.
These are great since you can sharpen and shape your Pegwood with them in addition to opening watch cases.
2. A set of screwdrivers for watchmakers
The stem and case-retaining screws must also be removed in order to fully free the watch from its case once you have taken off the watch back.
A variety of watchmakers screwdrivers should be the second item in your watch repair kit as you’ll need them for this.
The best investment you can make is a high-quality set of screwdrivers for watchmakers. When used properly, screwdrivers can last a lifetime.
Avoid wasting your money on inexpensive screwdrivers from China or India because the metal is of poor quality and it is simple to break your watch screws with them.
You should think about the following three prominent Swiss-made brands: AF Switzerland, Bergeon, and Horotec.
There are lengthy discussions over which is superior; in my view, Horotec quality has a little advantage.
You will find that you utilize 4 of the sizes for the majority of your watches, so don’t waste your money on a wide variety of screwdrivers for your watch repair kit:
- Black – 100
- Yellow – 80
- Grey – 140
- Red – 120
Spare blades for each screwdriver are often included when you purchase a screwdriver from any of the aforementioned manufacturers.
They will also have smooth-operating ball bearing swivel heads.
It is always possible to resharpen watchmakers’ screwdrivers using a dressing stone and a tiny jig.
3. Tweezers for watchmakers
With a pair of Precision Tweezers Set XOOL, you can pick up the screw after you’ve used your screwdriver to remove it, move the watch pieces, and reinstall them.
Adding this component to your watch repair kit is essential.
Tweezers used by watchmakers are quite different from those used by cosmeticians. They are simple to use, have highly precise ends that fit together properly.
There are literally hundreds of different sorts and shapes available, however most watchmakers concur that at the very least, the following should be used:
- No. 2 – Strong with flat and fine-tipped
- No. 3 – Fine Tips
- No. 5 – Short and extra-fine hairsprings
- Brass AM stands for “for not marking watch parts”
- Plastic (optional if working with quartz movements)
Choosing non-magnetic tweezers is a smart idea because having watch screws attach to them may be a real pain.
With practice, you should be able to rotate the tweezers through 360 degrees while holding the watch parts between the tips of the tweezers.
The tweezers are gripped between the thumb and first two fingers like holding a pen.
The three primary tweezers brands to keep an eye out for are Dumont, Bergeon, and Horotec, despite their high price.
4. Glasses or Eye Loupe
I don’t need to tell you how tiny watch components and screws are. You should include eyeglasses or a loupe in your watch repair kit to ensure that you can see what you are doing.
Eyeglasses exist in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, just like the majority of watch tools. There’s no need to panic because you only truly need two kinds:
- Generic glasses (3 – 4 times magnification)
- Examination Glass (10 – 12 times magnification)
The majority of the time when disassembling and reassembling your watch, you wear your regular eyeglasses.
Only occasionally is the inspection eyewear used to gain a closer look at pivots, gems, or for closer inspection.
When it comes to protecting your eyesight, I wouldn’t buy inexpensive eyeglasses like I may with some of the other equipment.
Instead, I’d make a responsible investment in a quality pair from Bergeon or Horotec.
Eyeglasses of good quality have numbers, such as No. 1, No. 2.5, etc.
This number represents the focal length, so a No. 1 implies you would focus on an object that was 1 inch away, and a No. 2.5 would be at a distance of 2.5 inches.
Therefore, it is advisable to work at a good distance for as long as you can because eyestrain increases as you get closer to the thing.
Consider using a wire eyeglass holder if you have trouble keeping the glasses in place.
These are really simple to use, prevent you from losing your glasses on your work, and double as an excellent holder when you’re between jobs.
5. Watch hand lifting levers
Include some watch hand lifting levers in your watch repair kit as well because you will need to remove the hands from your watch before you can remove the dial.
Hand Lifting Levers and the Presto Automatic Hand Lifting Tool are two gadgets that can help you with this task.
Be careful to avoid breaking the hands or the dial when taking the hands off. The Hand Lifting Levers do an excellent job of driving the hands upward by rocking at an angle to remove them vertically.
To prevent damage to the dial, it is customary to place a dial protector or a thin plastic sealy bag on top of it.
The Presto hand removal tool can be effective, but you must take care to avoid scuffing the dial face with the tiny plastic feet that descend from the tool.
When not handled carefully, these feet have left marks on dials in the past.
To accommodate a range of hand sizes, hand lifting levers are available in different sizes.
Once more, be wary of cheap tools because their finishes are sometimes subpar and might harm your dial or the hands when in use.
6. Movement Holder
It is not advised to contact the watch movement with your fingers after removing it from the case.
Instead, a movement holder is used to keep the movement securely in place while being worked on.
Movement holders exist in a variety of sizes and forms.
But the typical holder can accommodate varying movement sizes by being reversible so that tiny movements can be accommodated on one side and greater movements on the other.
Once more, Horotec and Bergeon produce top-notch movement holders.
Look out for a variety of other strange and amazing designs, such as ones fashioned from bamboo, as some speciality brand watches have their own movement holders.
A movement holder ought to be included in your watch repair kit either way.
7. A parts box
I didn’t use a specific parts container when I initially started repairing watches, but now I can clearly see their advantages.
As you deconstruct and reassemble the watch, part containers let you keep the various components separate.
However, it’s more crucial that they have a cover that keeps dirt and debris from falling onto the watch parts after they’ve been taken off and cleaned.
There is no need to overspend on a parts container because you can purchase these for a reasonable price.
Although they are not necessary for your watch repair kit, these can really simplify your life.
Hardwood is used to make peg wood, which has a fairly regular size and shape.
Add some Pegwood to your watch repair kit instead of settling for toothpicks or wooden kebab sticks, which are too flimsy and won’t keep their shape.
Pegwood is used in the watch repair industry for a variety of activities.
But its two primary use are for cleaning jewel holes and watch parts before chemically cleaning the watch and for holding down parts and springs during assembly and reassembly.
To dress the end of the pegwood, you will also need a sharp knife; the two most typical shapes are point and flat.
9. Glass benzine jar and degreasing fluid for watches
You must use a watch cleaner to clean your watch once it has been disassembled and all of the jewel holes have been cleaned with peg wood.
To clean the watch parts of all the crusted oil, filth, and dirt, watch repair specialists utilize a machine that may be ultrasonic.
The novice can accomplish this by hand using a benzine jar and some cleaning fluid because watch cleaning equipment are very expensive.
The cleaning agent benzoine is no longer used, however a degreasing agent as Renata Essence will work.
Add a glass benzine jar with a degreasing fluid to your watch repair kit even if you decide to buy a watch cleaning machine.
Because it will always come in handy for swiftly removing grease in the event that an oiling job goes wrong or watch parts become recontaminated.
To prevent your liquid from evaporating, make sure your benzine jar has a tight-fitting lid.
To aid clean your watch parts after they have been immersed in the fluid, you might want to buy a little paintbrush to use with your benzine jar.
10. Rubber Dust Blower
As you surely well know, a watch’s worst enemy is dust and filth.
Never use your mouth to blow on a watch since it includes contaminants and moisture that will only worsen the way the watch works.
I therefore urge you to include one in your watch repair toolkit.
Rubber dust blowers are cheap and work well for fast cleaning your watch of dust and grime and for drying parts after cleaning.
Therefore, you would lay a watch part onto a piece of paper after cleaning it in your benzine jar.
With your tweezers still in place, you can use your dust blower to dry the watch part.
Be careful while using a blower to dry watch parts since they can be blown away if they are not held tightly. Dust blowers can be very powerful.
11. Watch Oils and Greases, Oiler and Oil Pots
It’s time to put the watch back together after you’ve cleaned every component.
Add this to your watch repair kit because you’ll need to add oil and grease to all the watch’s friction points when you reassemble it.
Although there are many different oils and greases available, the majority of seasoned watch repairmen will concur that Moebius produces a quality product.
Here are 4 that I would suggest:
- For balancing staff pivots and escape wheel pivots, use Moebius 9010 Oil (quick moving with low torque)
- D5 Moebius (HP1300) Oil: center wheel and barrel arbor (slow moving with high torque)
- Hand setting, winding mechanism, and cannon pinion grease for the Moebius 8300 (friction based)
- High speed escapements over 21,600 vibrations per hour on the Moebius 941/5 Grease
Oil pots should be used to store all of the oils and greases. You can either buy a stand with three or four pots or a separate pot for each oil or grease.
To keep them from getting dirty, the lids on all of the oil pots are a need.
Now that you have your oil and grease, you must find a way to get it from your oil pots to your watch parts. To do this, a watch oiler is needed.
The “spade-shaped” end of a watch oiler is attached to a colored handle by a metal stem. There are typically 4 sizes to choose from:
- Large red tip
- Medium-sized green tip
- Blue-tipped fine
- Very fine black tip
The oil is applied to the watch by simply dipping the oiler into the oil and touching the oil to the watch component.
The oil will be able to slip down and into small crevasses if you hold the oiler vertically.
Small amounts of oil can always be added, but excess oil would need to be removed, cleaned, dried, and reassembled, therefore it is always preferable to use a finer tip.
The oiler can be cleaned with a piece of pithwood in between oils.
12. Rodico Cleaning Putty
Since most watchmakers I know use Rodico, this is a great and reasonably priced addition to your watch repair kit.
Although Rodico is a cleaning compound with countless applications, it is most frequently used to wipe fingerprints, grease, dirt, and grime from watch movements.
To use Rodico, simply wipe or dab it into the watch movement. It functions just like a pencil eraser.
This fantastic putty can also be used to remove screws or diamonds that are difficult to grasp from your movement.
Simply spread your Rodico between your fingers to clean it up after getting soiled.
extremely affordable and practical.

I agree with BroRog. Because, we need to understand 1 Cor. 3:15, by read the context of the first part of chapter 3 before we get arrive at verse 15. The context of verse 4 thru verse 15 talking about Paul and Apollos as leaders, well apply to pastors. Leaders' works of their foundation(congregation), that their works shall be test by fire, and their works shall be revealed in the day of the judgment seat of Christ. This passage is not discuss about sins nothing at all. This passage discuss about leaders' works shall be reveal by fire, to show their works are success or failure. My understanding, their works shall be burned as fading away, but leaders' flesh(body) shall be save.
By the way, I do not agree with some Seventh Day Adventists believe unbelievers' body shall be destroyed and stopped being exist in the lake of fire. Because, their souls shall always remain living forever and evenr in either final destiny - eternal life with Christ, or eternal in lake of fire.
Also, look next verse - 1 Cor. 3:16 says, if anyone defile his body, because their boy is belong to YHWH's as temple. If they defile their body, then YHWH shall destroy their spirit. Means, that there shall beno longer belong to YHWH's, their soul & body both shall be end up in lake of fire, without having YHWH's spirit. Also, 1 Cor. 3:16 according to 1 Cor. 5:5 telling the same thing.
Paul reaffirms his teaching on this matter in 2 Cor 5:10 I guess the Corinthians didn't get it on the first pass.
The judgment seat of Christ is for Christians it is not the Great White Throne where the lost are judged and cast into the lake of fire.
For the cause of Christ
*bump* I would like to hear Gadgteer's comment on 1 Cor. 3:15. Thanks.
I agree with Butch5's comment.
1 Cor. 3:15 deals with teachers, leaders, and pastors only. Because of the key is CONTEXT. The only way to understand 1 Cor. 3:15, have to read throughout whole chapter 3 as contextually. Notice verse 5, Paul said, "Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?"
1 Cor. 3:11-15 was written for teachers, leaders, pastors only. So, this passage is not discuss on either NOSAS or OSAS either. It talks about leaders' work or ministry. Either their ministry is success or fail.
Do you agree with me or not?

An Indonesian witness at North Jakarta reported watching and videotaping a metallic object under 500 meters with an apparent diameter of 5 meters, according to testimony in Case 68460 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside in a basketball field with his wife and son at 5:42 p.m. on July 17, 2015, when the incident occurred.
“First noticed the object when pointing out the hunting bats and swallows to my son,” the witness stated.“It was on my south and moving towards the northwest direction. First impression of the object was that it was somewhat spherical and moving at a constant speed and constant altitude. Altitude was from the best of my judgement around the 300-500 meters high, and moving slowly and constantly throughout the event at about 50 meters per minute.” | <urn:uuid:a219c7f1-ef2b-4ef1-870c-395cba4770f6> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.mufon.com/ufo-video/indonesian-metallic-ufo-caught-on-video | 2016-12-11T02:14:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543782.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00474-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975005 | 175 |
Barcelona have been missing Samuel Eto’o. While the Cameroon striker has been scoring aplenty in Ghana, his teammates have only managed to find the net five times in seven games. This weekend Real Madrid also found themselves without their main striker as Ruud Van Nistlerooy was injured; in response Guti, Raul and company turned in an electrifying display to demolish Valladolid 7-0 and extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points.
With Van Nistlerooy out, Madrid played with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Raul as a lone striker supported by Baptista, Robinho and Arjen Robben, who made only his third start for Madrid since his summer signing from Chelsea. Robinho got injured and had to go off after just fifteen minutes but by then Madrid were already leading after Guti and Robben combined to set up Baptista for a ninth minute goal.
Valladolid paid the price for their adventurous tactics, most teams come to the Bernabeu to defend deep, but Valladolid’s back four pushed way up the field which is exactly how Guti likes it. In a tremendous fifteen minute spell before half time Madrid scored four more and Guti was responsible for all of them. First he sent Raul through for Madrid’s second, and then Robben who scored his first league goal for Madrid, another Guti pass led to Baptista being brought down for a penalty which Raul converted, and then just before half time Guti got one for himself.
With the game already won Madrid eased up a bit in the second half but they still managed to score two more. There was a bit of luck to Guti’s second after good work from Robben, and with ten minutes remaining Drenthe also scored his first league goal and Madrid’s seventh after yet another assist from Guti.
Barcelona failed to keep up the pressure on Madrid and were somewhat lucky not to get beat by Sevilla. In a one-sided first half Sevilla should really have managed more than a solitary goal from Diego Capel, but Victor Valdés kept Barça in the game with some decent saves. In the second half Sevilla allowed Barça possession with the intention of hitting them on the break. However, Barça finally found a hole in Sevilla’s defence fifteen minutes from the end, when Messi who had been very quiet, sent in Xavi to toepoke past Palop. Messi then provoked Keita’s sending off and Barça suddenly sensed that victory could be theirs. In the last ten minutes Sevilla were reduced to fouling Messi near the area, but Ronaldinho’s free kicks (four in the last fifteen minutes) were all disappointing and it ended 1-1. Click here for a full report on Sevilla-Barça.
Espanyol slip down to fifth place after a surprising home defeat to Recreativo who started the day second from bottom. Two early goals from Sinama Pongolle put Recreativo ahead until new signing Ewerton pulled a goal back before half time. Espanyol’s efforts in the second half came to nothing, they are obviously missing the injured Raul Tamudo, and Recreativo held on for a 1-2 victory that moves them out of the bottom three.
Villarreal move up to third place after a victory in extremis at Murcia. Striker Guille Franco got the only goal of the game in the 93rd minute after receiving a pass from Josico. Franco was possibly offside and Murcia will feel they deserved more from the game. Murcia now slip down into 19th place and have taken just one point from their last five matches.
Atletico Madrid earned an important 0-2 win at Racing Santander to go above Espanyol into fourth place. Racing started the game well but little by little Atletico took control led by a superb Diego Forlan. In the 55th minute Forlan took advantage of a poor clearance from Garay to score the first, and in the 73rd minute Forlan cut in from the right before hitting a tremendous left foot shot past Coltorti.
Racing’s defeat has left a tight battle for the sixth placed spot. Racing are still on 34 points but Sevilla, Almeria and Valencia are just one point behind them. Ronald Koeman’s luck is finally changing and Valencia won for the second consecutive week, beating Betis 3-1 at Mestalla. David Villa is fit again and scored two of Valencia’s goals and set up the other for Silva. Edu scored the Betis goal with a header.
Almeria followed last week’s win over Real Madrid with a 0-0 draw at Mallorca. Neither side showed enough ambition to win a game that was dominated by the defences. Mallorca’s top scorer Gúiza only had one chance but his shot was comfortably saved by Diego Alves.
At the bottom end of the table Deportivo could do no better than a 1-1 draw at home to Getafe. Depor took a deserved lead just before half time when Mario scored an own goal, but Getafe came back in the second half and substitute Uche grabbed an equalizer. The point wasn’t enough to prevent Depor moving back into the relegation zone.
Osasuna earned some relief with a 1-0 victory over Zaragoza. Czech midfielder Jaroslav Plasil scored the winner on the stroke of half time. This was new coach Javier Irureta’s first defeat since taking over at Zaragoza.
Finally, Athletic Bilbao beat Levante 1-0 at San Mames thanks to a 54th minute header from Fernando Llorente.
Top Six: Real Madrid 56 points, Barcelona 48, Villarreal 42, Atletico Madrid 41, Espanyol 39, Racing Santander 34.

A soldier from the U.S. Army's combat hardened 82nd Airborne Division gave 18 pictures of fellow soldiers posing with dead Afghan insurgents, and sundry body parts, to the L.A. Times.
David Zucchino at the Times spoke with Army leaders who asked he not publish the pictures, but Times editor Davan Maharaj said there was a larger issue at stake than just the images.
The soldier who supplied the photos says they illustrate a "breakdown in leadership and discipline" that compromised his safety and that of his fellow soldiers, and the Times agrees.
Times Editor Davan Maharaj said, "After careful consideration, we decided that publishing a small but representative selection of the photos would fulfill our obligation to readers to report vigorously and impartially on all aspects of the American mission in Afghanistan, including the allegation that the images reflect a breakdown in unit discipline that was endangering U.S. troops."
The photos were taken during a yearlong deployment of the 3,500-member brigade, which lost 35 men during that time, according to icasualties.org, a website that tracks casualties. At least 23 were killed by homemade bombs or suicide bombers.
The mission occurred in February 2010 during a yearlong deployment of the 3,500-member brigade when they lost 35 men — more than 20 to homemade bombs.
The men in the pictures had all been killed by bombs they'd made, which had detonated while they were planting them to kill U.S. soldiers.
Stars and Stripes reports that the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan "strongly condemned" the publishing of the photos.
"The actions of the individuals photographed do not represent the policies of ISAF or the U.S. Army," Allen is quoted as saying. "This behavior and these images are entirely inconsistent with the values of ISAF and all service members of the fifty ISAF countries serving in Afghanistan."
"These actions undermine the daily sacrifices of thousands of ISAF troops who continue to serve honorably in Afghanistan," Allen goes on to say in the news release. "We will collaborate with Afghan authorities and carefully examine the facts and circumstances shown in these photos. As part of this process, we will determine responsibility and accountability of those involved.”
Army leaders are concerned the images will incite further violence against U.S. troops following the burning of Korans and the video of Marines urinating on dead Taliban that came out within the past several months.
No doubt that will be true to some extent, and while the anonymous soldier who gave these pictures to the L.A. Times may have been hoping to cause trouble for the command that made him mad, he also jeopardized the service of each of his fellow soldiers in the pictures.
There will be an investigation; regular soldiers could face legal discipline with the possibility of jail and loss of rank.
The 82nd deploys a lot, and those guys have so much they're dealing with that this is the last thing they need.
I exchanged tweets with an Army Lt. Colonel who says the guys involved with this can reasonably expect to receive Company Grade or Field Grade Article 15s.
Field Grade punishments are harsher, imposed by Majors (O-4) and above.
They can carry the following penalties:
(1) Admonition or reprimand.
(2) Confinement on bread and water / diminished rations: imposable only on grades E-3 and below, attached to or embarked in a vessel, for not more than 3 days (USN and USMC only).
(3) Correctional custody: not more than 30 days.
(4) Forfeiture: not more than 1/2 of one month's pay per month for two months.
(5) Reduction: one grade, not imposable on E-7 and above (Navy, Army, and Air Force) or on E-6 and above (Marine Corps).
(6) Extra duties: not more than 45 days.
(7) Restriction: not more than 60 days.
Company Grade Article 15s are imposed by officers in the rank of Captain (O-3) and below and carry these penalties:
(1) Admonition or reprimand.
(2) Confinement on bread and water / diminished rations: not more than 3 days and only on grades E-3 and below attached to or embarked in a vessel (USN and USMC only).
(3) Correctional custody: not more than 7 days.
(4) Forfeiture: not more than 7 days' pay.
(5) Reduction: to next inferior pay grade; not imposable on E-7 and above (Navy, Army, and Air Force) or E-6 and above (Marine Corps), if rank from which demoted is within the promotion authority of the OIC.
(6) Extra duties: not more than 14 days.
(7) Restriction: not more than 14 days.

The Everyday Chef: Andrew Dole
Andrew Dole, RDN, CEC
Everyday Chef & Performance Nutrition Expert, Fruits & Veggies—More Matters
I started cooking as a teenager to earn gas money. Being in a kitchen didn’t start out as a passion or childhood dream for me. Restaurant jobs were teen friendly and my best friend worked at a gourmet burger joint in the local mall and helped get me a job. 23 years and a career change later I’m, not so suddenly, a 15-year culinary veteran, registered dietitian (RDN), culinary instructor and nutrition entrepreneur.
A Colorado native, I call the city of Castle Rock home with my wife and teenage son. In my free time I pretend to be a triathlete. My philosophy on multi-sports is: “why focus on one sport when I can try three and use it as an excuse to be equally bad in all of them.” So, I’ve chosen a life of chlorine, sunscreen, or both, for most of the year with great comrade and lots of time outdoors as my reward.
My professional life is equally diversified.
I am a registered dietitian, and in addition to working with Fruits & Veggies—More Matters, I’m the owner of Body Fuel Sports Performance & Lifestyle Nutrition where my time is spent helping people reach their personal nutrition goals through therapeutic diets, performance nutrition plans, and preparing meals as a private chef.
I’m also going on my 6th year of teaching culinary at the Art Institute of Colorado. Teaching people how to cook is an extraordinary experience. Whether starting with basic culinary skills or exploring regional American and Latin cuisines with advanced students the world of food never gets boring.
When I’m not teaching culinary or helping clients I keep my nutrition skills sharp as both an in-patient clinical dietitian at Rose Medical Center in Denver, CO and a dietetic graduate student at Kansas State University. “A rolling stone gathers no moss” – Publilius Syrus. I certainly keep moving.
Lastly, I think you should know that cooking wasn’t always easy for me. There aren’t stories of me pulling on the apron strings of a kitchen diva. My mother’s culinary skills were limited to boiling chicken and preparing a baked tuna casserole.
Even as a culinary school graduate cooking took lots of trial, lots more error, and the help of others to guide the way. Yet over the years I’ve learned a few tricks and come to realize that simple is best. There is no need for exotic ingredients, special equipment, or lavish budgets.

I am heading soon to Chicago and that’s where my daily inspiration comes from today – the luxurious and delectable Hotel Elysian. I love the look of the place – so chic, yet calming at the same time. The decor is modern, but not too much and the colours scheme is of cream, grey and warm browns giving a relaxed and sophisticated feel – just what one needs one a little trip without kids!
The floor of this gorgeous lobby is intriguing, and I would love to have a pattered floor like this instead of a patterned rug (and floor heating for winter-time too), and it would be a great change to have stone floor instead of wood flooring. The pendant is also a winner in my book – this lobby certainly gives a great first impression, which continues throughout the hotel. | <urn:uuid:8ed5f9c3-87b7-4e7d-a98c-e8f6b26e7fd5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.houseofanais.com/inspired-by-elysian/ | 2020-07-13T04:42:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.955818 | 168 |
As many of you all have been reminding me so far, it's been a couple days since my last blog post. I was thinking about that and realized that I'm coming up on 1.5 months of having a stale blog. Kinda sad, but true nevertheless. Anyways, this is my post of repentance.
So a couple days ago Elder Hobson and I were knocking on doors in a neighborhood. We came up to this guy named Jerry who was working in his garage. Right as we were about to start talking to him his dog walks out from behind a table. Now when a missionary encounters a dog there are generally only a few different outcomes:
1) The dog is friendly and we get to learn a lot about it from it's owner.
2) The dog gets ticked off and starts growling, at which point we just back away slowly and try not to make any sudden movements.
3) The dog gets really ticked off and starts chasing us. Not much you can do at that point besides run and hope that either a chain you didn't notice holds the dog back, or the owner tells the dog to heel.
Well as soon as I saw the dog I prepared myself to respond according to those procedures. However something unprecedented occurred--the dog did absolutely nothing. A split second later I realized why. See if you can figure it out yourself from the picture.
Where are his eyes? Well I'm sure Bruno (the dog) could smell us, but he was definitely not looking at us at first. He did 2 complete circuits of the garage before he noticed us and left patrol duty to check us out. At that point he was looking right at us, but then Bruno's owner, who was right next to him, went to pet him and he jumped from surprise. I thought, "Wow it would be hard to only see what's right in front of you!"
Well you'll all be surprised to know that this thought made me remember of a couple scriptures! First off a scripture from the Book of Mormon:
This part of the Book of Mormon is about a prophet named Abinadi and a wicked group of people under the rule of a king named Noah (no relation to the Old Testament prophet).
Abinadi is directed by the Lord to command the people of king Noah to repent for the evils that were taking place among them. Well generally speaking people don't like to be told they need to repent. The people were so angry with Abinadi and his words that they bound him and took him to king Noah. This scripture describes their attitude.
29 "Now the eyes of the people were blinded; therefore they hardened their hearts against the words of Abinadi, and they sought from that time forward to take him. And king Noah hardened his heart against the word of the Lord, and he did not repent of his evil doings."
Were they literally blind? No I suppose at least most of them had fully functioning eyes. But they did have hearts that were 'hardened,' or in other words they were not humble enough to listen to the word of God. All the people could see was the shallow things and the pleasures right in front of them. In a spiritual sense they were all blind, especially king Noah who, "did commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness...and he laid a tax of one fifth part of all they possessed...to support himself, and his wives and his concubines." The blind leading the blind!!
Now we contrast this to a scripture from the Bible:
This verse is Christ reading a prophecy about himself from a book written by the prophet Esaias.
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised"
Jesus Christ brought sight back to the eyes of many people during his ministry. That was one of His trademark miracles. However I feel like there is meaning to the phrase 'recovering the sight of the blind' beyond that of the physical miracle. The scripture says that Christ was anointed to preach the gospel, and so He did. In doing so he opened the eyes of His followers. He showed them things as they really are and told them about things as the really would be in the future. His teachings helped them to find greater peace in this life and to prepare for eternal happiness in the life to come. By opening their eyes to the miracles of God and the blessings of obedience, Christ was able to put lost souls back on the path that leads to our Heavenly Father.
I am grateful for the perspective I've gained from knowing and living the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for the love He showed to us in the way He lived His life and in the reason He gave it up. I promise all who read this that by following Christ and letting Him open your eyes, you will find the greatest form of peace and security that exists. | <urn:uuid:f46a7698-c30a-4367-b64f-f3cfc4375768> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://ldselison.blogspot.com/2011/01/repentance-post.html | 2017-08-18T12:27:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104636.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818121545-20170818141545-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.98764 | 1,043 |

About two months ago, the chief scientist at Twitter decided he wanted his daughter to go to a school that encouraged her nightly desire to conduct science experiments on the kitchen counter, a fun place where art and math flourished in small classes.
He couldn't find that school, so the scientist decided to create one.
And with his daughter heading to first grade in the fall, Abdur Chowdhury wanted that school now.
With six other founding families, Chowdhury found a building, hired a head of school, brought in teachers and started looking for students to attend Alta Vista School, which opens Sept. 7.
"It's much like starting a startup," Chowdhury said. He added that the old adage about such endeavors at times has applied to the school: If anyone knew how hard it would be, they would never do it.
Especially in the middle of a recession.
His boss, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, became a cheerleader.
"The entrepreneurial spirit kicked in," Stone said.
But this colorful, high-tech school with its own Twitter feed doesn't come cheap.
Tuition is $18,000 for a year of kindergarten and $20,000 a year for all other grades.
Ten percent of the school's operating budget will cover scholarships for students who can't afford the price tag.
It's an arguably gutsy move to start a pricey private school at a time of high unemployment and a sour economy. People looking for cheaper options are fleeing private schools.
Over the past decade, the number of private schools in California has dropped from 4,123 to 3,309, with enrollment down nearly 125,000 students, according to the state Department of Education. San Francisco had about 120 private schools 10 years ago and now has fewer than 100.
Chowdhury isn't worried.
"Education is not the way I think we should make money," he said, adding that the founding families kicked in cash and supporters are raising money. "I'm more worried about making sure everyone has a good time learning."
There will be two classrooms to start, one a mixed junior kindergarten/kindergarten and a first grade - each with about 10 to 12 students. Eventually, the founders hope the school will add classrooms through the eighth grade, with class size ranging from 18 to 20 students.
Math, science and art
Math, science and art will be an integral part of the school "every day in everything we do," said Head of School Ed Walters, who Chowdhury recruited from his daughter's former school in the city, Marin Day Schools.
An "adventure coordinator" will incorporate curriculum into field trips across the city.
The plan is to have a school with all those things - smaller class sizes, field trips, art every day, science experiments, Spanish language immersion on the playground - Chowdhury and the other families had hoped to find in their local public schools.
They looked and despite volunteering and donating to city schools, they decided to forge their own way.
"I don't know if I have enough energy to move that mountain," he said of the needs at the public school near his Potrero Hill home.
But the scientist and his Twitter boss haven't turned their backs on public schools. Education, be that building a new school or helping to prop up public schools, is a big part of Twitter, Stone said, including support for nonprofit programs like DonorsChoose.org and Room to Read.
That is good for the community and it's good for business, Stone said.
"Education is a great thing for Twitter to align with," Stone said. "If you can't read, you can't tweet."

After announcing his resignation from Hot 97 earlier this week, Mister Cee went on air yesterday morning to discuss a variety of topics including his sexuality, why he chose to resign now, and the controversy surrounding him over the past few years. However, today he announced that he is, in fact, back on air.
XXL spoke with Cee to touch on some similar topics including how he would label his sexuality, the video that was posted earlier this week, and homophobia in hip-hop. Read a few excerpts below, and catch the extended interview over at XXL.
What would you label your sexuality?
I don’t think that I’m gay. From time to time I had experiences with getting fellatio from a transvestite—oral sex from a transvestite, but I’ve never had sex with a man, and a man has never had sex with me. That’s why I feel that I’m not gay.
Did have a feeling that something was up that day in the car at the time that the video was being filmed?
I had absolutely no idea that I was being filmed. And I know who the person is. I don’t know the person personally. I haven’t been involved with the person on numerous occasions. It was a one-time situation, but I know exactly who the person is.
Are you back at Hot 97 for good?
I came back today. Me, Ebro and the team are discussing the situation moving forward. I may take some days off just for some personal time. That will be within the next few days or weeks. But to put it in a nutshell, yes, I’m back. I will resume all my normal duties.

- Always something glittery.
- Fashion to me is all about beauty. If its coicidentally comfortable, sustainable or anyting else - that’s a plus.
- It is a home decor item. I got an antique bird cage from my mom a few years ago for my birthday. A few weeks ago I was looking at it, and felt like it needed to be made into someting other than just sitting there. So I installed a light fixture inside, and fabfricated a pretty nice looking table lamp. If it’s turned on, it casts a beautiful shadow to the walls of my room.
- I’m in desperate need of a chic and super warm winter coat to stay warm in the freezing weather.
- One of my favorite color is blue - most specifically the shade of this coat. As I’m alwazs cold, so I paired it with this terazzo print high neck top to fight against the lower temperatures.

Honolulu – As an island state, Hawai‘i is uniquely impacted by the threat of invasive species. Our endemic species and distinctive ecosystems evolved over millions of years in isolation from the rest of the world’s biota, creating a delicate balance that continues to be at risk from the arrival of non-native plants, animals, and fungi.
The most important partners in preventing the spread of invasive species are Hawai‘i’s residents and visitors. The State of Hawai‘i Office of Environmental Quality Control/Environmental Council, the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and the William S. Richardson School of Law’s Environmental Law Program are pleased to announce a forum for interested people to learn about new developments in Hawaii’s biosecurity and invasive species efforts, and ways that you can engage in protecting Hawai‘i from this threat. The forum is scheduled for March 23, 2019, from 9:00am-12:00pm at the William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai‘i, Classroom 2, 2515 Dole Street in Honolulu.
Impacts from invasive species include decline of native species through predation or habitat loss, reduced agricultural yields, introduction and spread of disease, and reduced quality of life for residents. In response to this threat, Hawai‘i’s government agencies and partners are
working to increase biosecurity capacity, which is the set of policies and actions taken to
minimize the impacts of invasive species. This includes work through existing programs, like the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture’s (HDOA) quarantine and inspection services, as well as new lines of collaborative research, such as the development of a mosquito “birth control” to limit the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
The first part of the forum will include presentations highlighting progress made under the
umbrella of Hawai‘i’s Interagency Biosecurity Plan. It’s a 10-year framework for improving pre-border, border, and post-border biosecurity efforts. The forum will provide an overview of long-term goals set by the Biosecurity Plan, progress toward those goals, and a special focus on two primary areas of interest: HDOA’s efforts to modernize the process of import, inspection, and quarantine, and efforts by the Department of Health, DLNR, and other partners to improve mosquito detection and potentially develop landscape-scale mosquito control techniques.
The second part of this forum will include presentations on invasive species of particular interest to Hawai‘i residents, including opportunities for people to engage in detection, reporting, and control. This will include a focus on Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, the fungus threatening our native ʻōhiʻa trees, and what everyone can do to help prevent the spread of this disease. The forum will include a discussion of the invasive tree albizia and what communities can do to control it. Finally, partners will present on the impacts of little fire ants in Hawaii and what residents can do to help detect new infestations or control ants on their properties.
Part I: Making Hawai‘i Safer through Better Biosecurity
Hawai‘i’s Interagency Biosecurity Plan, 2017-2027: A shared Path forward – Josh Atwood, Hawai‘i Invasive Species Council
Biosecurity at Hawai‘i’s Borders: Electronic Manifesting and Inspection Facilities –Jonathan Ho, Hawai‘i’s Department of Agricultur
Mosquitoes in Hawai‘i : Vector Control & Potential for Landscape-scale Control –Cynthia King, Department of Land and Natural Resources
Part II: Invasive Species in Hawaii: What the Public Can do to Help
Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death: Early Detection, Rapid Response, and How the Public Can Help –Ambyr Mokiao-Lee, University of Hawai‘i, and Rob Hauff, Department of Land and
Albizia Control and Management in Hawaii: Opportunities for Public Engagement – John-Carl Watson, Koolau Mountains Watershed Partnership
Little Fire Ants in Hawaii: An Overview of the Problem and how Residents Can Test their Yards – Cas Vanderwoude, Hawai‘i Ant Lab, and Erin Bishop, O‘ahu Invasive Species Committee
This event is free and will include opportunities for questions and discussion. Refreshments will be provided. Parking is available at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa parking structure
accessible via Lower Campus Road / Dole Street, for a flat rate of $6. The Law School is
located adjacent to the top level of the parking structure, accessible via stairs, elevator, or by parking on the top floor.

Once upon a time we were consumers. We watched commercials. Brands spoke to us—we didn't speak to them. We had to change the TV or Radio station if we wanted to watch or listen to something else. It was hard to get away from advertising because sometimes we were just too lazy to change the channel.
Once upon a time we read books from authors. We admired from afar. We would have to attend a book signing or be a "somebody" to have access to our thought leaders. Once upon a time the rules were clear and defined. Content was content and marketing was marketing.
That was once upon a time. Digital turns everything upside down.
Here's my latest example. Creativity consultant, author and inventor Roger von Oech recently celebrated his 100th post. He chose to do an interview with me as his way to celebrate.
Why is this upside down?
Several years ago—I came across Roger's very inspirational Creative Whack Pack. The deck of cards is a great tool to help break stagnant thinking. They instantly connected with me and I've used them with my clients and my teams. I keep the deck in my desk drawer for easy access whenever I need a shot of inspiration. If you would have told me that years later the author and creator of this inspiration would be asking to interview me—I would have laughed you off.
But digital turns everything upside down.
With nothing more than I blog, the way I view community and the people I have access to has been flipped on it's head. Digital amplifies what we have to say. Digital lets us enjoy on demand. Digital gives us a degree of control. Digital acts like a backstage pass, granting us access and even fellowship with brands/individuals that we never could have come close to before.
Digital enables connection, access and relationship. All of which are very human.
That's why I call this a Renaissance more so than a revolution and even evolution. The Renaissance challenged conventional thinking. It turned art and science on it's head. It changed our perceptions about what we thought we knew. It embodied a spirit of discovery and re-discovery. Maybe the reality is that what we are experiencing in this digital age is all three(Revolution, Evolution, & Renaissance)—but I definitely think it has a Renaissance feel to it.
Anyway, go over and give Roger a big "whack" on the back for hitting his 100th post. It's been great to see Creative Think "age", and if you turn 100 "upside down" you get 001. Think about it. :) | <urn:uuid:cc66d4a4-29d6-40a5-9c72-c3392d4e69f2> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion/2007/03/digital_turns_e.html | 2017-02-24T01:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171271.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00227-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978488 | 531 |

2006 Moto Guzzi Breva V 750 IE from New Zealand
An excellent, very underrated motorcycle, I love it!
Excellent bike for commuting and touring. No problems.
I ride in all types of weather, still looking great.
Always starts first time, but the most time it has been left unridden is only 2 weeks.
Seat very comfortable and plenty of room for luggage options.
Fuel light flickers at 120 miles, but I look for petrol when it stays on at around 160/170 miles.
I've had it at 180 kms and still gaining. 48 bhp; more go than you'd expect.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Original reviewer here. Now at 17000 miles. Slight leak in the shaft drive, but otherwise still going great. Have toured twice round the South Island of New Zealand, and have faced some terrible off road situations, thick gravel and mud. I think this bike is a keeper, as it just keeps on going no matter what. (Sport demon tyres on) Now I have a 2003 Ducati Supersport 1000 for extra fun as well, but I always enjoy my rides on this Guzzi.

Hi. I too covered all of south and all of north island completely on a Guzzi Nevada 750, two up. The bike was 1999 model. The bike is still in New Zealand, it gave no problems at all. From Milford Sound to the Bay of Plenty, to the great surf coast to 70 Mile Beach, the bike just kept going. On returning to the UK, I purchased a 750ie Breva, again at 9000 miles. This bike is superb; faster, more fuel efficient, and attracts attention on the road.

Together, with the International Osteoporosis Foundation, we are recognizing World Osteoporosis Day to build awareness around the importance of bone health and strength.
What is Osteoporosis?
First, let’s start with defining Osteoporosis. Literally translated, it means “porous bone.” It’s defined as a condition where bones become thin and lose their strength. As they become less dense, their quality is reduced, which can lead to broken bones. Those breaks can cause pain, disability, and make everyday activities a challenge.
In the United States, osteoporosis and low bone mass are considered a major public health threat for nearly 54 million people — referring to men and women over the age of 50. A breakdown of those numbers show that of those at risk for osteoporosis, 10.2 million people have it. Of those, 80% are women. Treating osteoporosis is also costly. The economic burden is estimated at $17 billion and that was in 2005.
Are You at Risk?
Osteoporosis is common. One in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 will be affected by a broken bone due to osteoporosis. While it’s a serious condition, it is treatable and preventable with a healthy diet and lifestyle. There are some common risk factors. They include:
- Women have a higher risk of getting it, especially after menopause or a hysterectomy
- Family history
- Certain medications and prescription drugs have side effects linked to osteoporosis
- Some illnesses can weaken bones, such as rheumatoid arthritis, COPD, chronic kidney disease, HIV/AIDS, cancers, and more
- Smoking and drinking
- Low BMI and poor nutrition
- Sedentary lifestyle
Prevention Starts with Nutrition
Physical activity is key to maintaining good overall health. As we all know, nutrition is too, but are you eating for good bone health? The three biggest nutrients for building strong bones are calcium, vitamin D and protein. Check your daily recommended allowances and more with the Nutrition and Bone Health Throughout Life Fact Sheet from the International Osteoporosis Foundation. You can also take their Osteoporosis Risk Check to learn more about the state of your health. It is not a substitute for medical advice though.
If you’re concerned about your bone health, schedule an appointment with a Beacon back and spine specialist to find out what’s going on, and we’ll work with you to develop a care plan around your unique needs. | <urn:uuid:d922fd4b-d419-47d8-9b1f-3e7617cddb5d> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.beaconortho.com/blog/its-world-osteoporosis-day-time-to-talk-about-bone-health/ | 2022-05-17T08:49:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662517018.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517063528-20220517093528-00128.warc.gz | en | 0.95065 | 548 |
American progressives are still in denial about energy policy [Mark Hertsgaard, “The Cancún Compromise,” Jan. 3]. Even The Nation publishes commentary about climate change without acknowledging that there are millions of people in the world who need to increase their use of energy in order to live with some measure of dignity. Terms like “fuel poverty,” “energy poverty” and “energy justice” are seldom seen in US publications. In the 1930s, the left fought for electrification and enlightenment. Voters were excited about energy justice. Nowadays, self-styled liberals throw cold water on the world, saying, “Stop wasting energy. Turn out the lights.” If this is liberalism, Thomas Malthus and Ebenezer Scrooge were liberal prophets. Bah, humbug.
Robert F. Murphy
Tiptoeing the Af-Pak Tightrope
Anatol Lieven’s analysis of the Afghan/Pakistani puzzle, “How the Afghan Counterinsurgency Threatens Pakistan” [Jan. 3], is among the very best I have seen. He mentions one important variable I haven’t noticed elsewhere regarding Pakistan’s reluctance to suppress the North Waziristan Afghan Taliban, who use this border region as their rear area bolt-hole. Beyond the more recognized desire of the Pakistanis to preserve the Afghan Taliban as a rear reserve force for possible conflict with India, Lieven mentions that such a military move would be so unpopular as to create a grave government crisis. And he is right to argue that developments in Pakistan are far more important to US and Western security in the long run.
Another point, perhaps speculative but worth concern: President Karzai may be unenthusiastic and even foot-dragging about the fundamental US goal of “standing up” the Afghan army (and police) to take on the Taliban. Aside from the questionable cultural mechanics of the Afghan army’s training, Karzai may suspect, and fear, the loyalty and motivation of a large semimodern army largely made up of recruits from the non-Pashtun minorities. Past coups still echo.
In the face of somber analyses on “unwinnability,” President Obama is sending in 1,200 more troops to keep fighting during the winter off-season, perhaps to catch the Taliban hibernating or as an easy way to occupy vacated land. This sounds like one of the serial gimmicks General Petraeus keeps pulling out of the “throw it against the wall” bag of bootless ideas, perhaps for a meager but meaningless uptick in Taliban casualties.
Copyright? How Quaint
What is most disheartening about the letters [“Exchange,” Dec. 27] published in response to “The Pirate’s Prophet” [Nov. 15] and the piece itself is that the whole conversation takes for granted that no kind of culture worth having could grow or survive in the absence of copyright, the free market, the profit motive. Is this really the sine qua non of the artistic impulse, of the human spirit? This seems to be the animating principle of this argument, which has found a strange berth in The Nation. Or is merely to ask such a question hopelessly naïve, “anarchistic” or, most shameful, “romantic”? And how is it that these terms (in various dreary permutations) pass for reasoned argument, as though they were shorthand for some unassailable argument or commonplace of everyday wisdom that only fools such as I could possibly be unaware of?
Bottom line: is it a historical fact that culture—the sort of culture our own wan culture supposedly reveres—is viable only under the aegis of copyright and capitalism? It is not a fact, and even Wallace-Wells’s examples tell against his assumption. This whole debate savors of a gaggle of myopic theologians straining to see how many angels they can find dancing on the head of a pin. A lot of us are waiting for somebody to make the pronouncement: “Could it be possible? These old saints in the forest have not yet heard anything of this, that copyright is dead!”
Shoot Me Now
It’s so much fun reading The Nation. It’s a way to get all fired up to do something about the dire situation we find ourselves in. So many fronts require attention—the wars; joblessness; homelessness; lack of healthcare and unions; dwindling resources; out-of-control corporations, banks and Wall Street; misguided education policies; immigration reform; poverty; tax cuts for the superwealthy but budget cuts to social programs. If only we could muster the will to get out there and take to the streets, contact our Congress members, make phone calls, write letters, donate to all the causes. But how do you do all that when you’re working multiple low-paying jobs; are sick because you don’t have the money to see a doctor and are stuck eating low-quality, pesticide-laden GMO foods that make you sicker; are being foreclosed upon and are looking for a cheap motel to park your family in; or are worried about your son or daughter who is fighting for questionable reasons in far-off lands because he/she couldn’t get loans to go to college and can’t get scholarships because public education is so lacking; feel apathetic about politics because the people you vote for turn out to be different from what you hoped. Tell those neocons who want to start yet another bankrupting war, this time in Iran, to do it themselves [Robert Dreyfuss, “The Hawks Call for War Against Iran,” Dec. 20]—we the people don’t have the money or the time.
Ann Arbor, Mich.
In his superb review of the recently republished writings of Vasily Grossman [“The Maximalist,” Dec. 20], Jochen Hellbeck says that a Grossman story showing the “corrosive impact of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima on the crew of the Enola Gay” had been “inexplicably left out of the present collection.” But Hellbeck also notes that the US editor of the Grossman volumes, Robert Chandler, retailed a false description of the Ukraine famine under Stalin that aligned with the propaganda of Ukrainian right-wingers. Bear those two editorial choices in mind and the omission of the story is no longer “inexplicable.” Grossman was anti-totalitarian but not anti-socialist. He was not a cold warrior. But clearly Chandler is. He preferred, like an American version of a Soviet cultural apparatchik, to censor Grossman rather than to expose readers to Grossman’s critique of the potential for totalitarianism inherent in US imperialism.

Have picures, proof of ownership, witnesses that visited your apartment? You'll probably have a better chance of winning if you have those things. Has your dog been barking? snapping at people? piddling or doodling in the hallways? if so then the dog may be considered an nuiscance by the court. If thats the case the 3 month pet law does not apply to you.
In either case if you lose the judge will give you time cure the situation without eviction. If you don't of course then you can be evicted. Whatever, you do NOT make hints,lies.promises to the landlord about removing the dog with the intention of renaging. This will waive the pet law for you too. Better not to discuss this with the landlord at all.
: Our landlord served us with a Notice to Cure regarding the harboring of our pet today. We've lived in this building for over eight months and take our dog for a walk every day. Every doorman in this building and our super is aware that we've had our pet since the day we moved in. Now they want us to remove our pet, pay their legal fees or face eviction. From what I can tell, the 90-day Pet Waive applies to us. What's my next, best step in regards to dealing with their Notice to Cure? Asking us to get rid of our little Truffle would be like asking us to put our baby in the kennel. Thanks for any help!!

Following Nigeria’s successful move to a ‘no premium, no cover’ policy, the National Insurance Commission (NIC) of Ghana is set to implement a similar approach, prohibiting the sale of insurance policies on a credit basis. The new policy will come into effect in April this year.
The decision comes in the wake of poor management and the inability of companies to pay their claims in a fair and prompt manner. The new approach will better enable insurance companies to invest funds appropriately, make adequate provisions for claims and fulfill the promises they make to policyholders.
“Insurance companies are to collect their outstanding premiums from policyholders or write them off as bad debt before December 31, 2014,” commented CEO of the NIC, Lydia L. Bawa, according to the Institute of Financial and Economic Journalists.
She was speaking at the inauguration of the North Ridge branch of Essien Swiss International Capital Holding (ESICH) Life Assurance office in Accra.
The NIC will soon release guidelines on the implementation of the no premium, no cover policy and the payment of claims for the insurance market, said Bawa, adding that the approach would improve public confidence in insurance firms. | <urn:uuid:e6144121-ae8f-4b37-9d6f-a1897b8faf9a> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.riskafrica.com/ghana-to-adopt-a-no-premium-no-cover-approach/ | 2020-05-25T08:45:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347388012.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20200525063708-20200525093708-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.930509 | 242 |

I just stumbled upon an old meta question about the name of our chat room, and a comment gave me the impression that the classical spelling would be conloquium rather than colloquium. (Let me ignore capitalization and comparing U and V in this question.) In cases like this, are both NL and LL used in classical Latin, or is one preferred over the other?
How do we know? It seems likely to me that later copyists would have changed such spelling details, so classical choices would only be visible in inscriptions — but this is only my guess.
If you have evidence for other similar cases of assimilation and can argue that NL/LL should behave the same, that is perfectly acceptable. The main interest of this question is more focused, but more general arguments are welcome. Notice that this question is about spelling, not pronunciation. | <urn:uuid:8b124abe-2eb2-4365-a25c-294ce9dddb92> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://latin.stackexchange.com/questions/2434/nl-and-ll-in-classical-latin?noredirect=1 | 2023-10-02T20:16:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511021.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20231002200740-20231002230740-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.954753 | 174 |
Now the inaugural World Food Championships Nov. 1-4 have a home. The four-day food festival hosted by the Travel Channel’s Adam Richman will take place at Paris Las Vegas.
Food categories include barbecue, chili, burgers, sandwiches, side dishes, a Champions Challenge featuring winners of online recipe contests and a World Chef Challenge open to some of the best chefs in America.
It’s a $300,000 battle to crown champions in multiple food categories and then determine the World Food Champion at the Final Table. “It’s the best of the best squaring off to settle the score,” Adam said. “The sport of competition food has grown into a multimillion-dollar industry: recipe challenges, barbecue festivals, chili cook-offs and the thousands of other food competitions that take place annually have grabbed the attention and imagination of millions of fans.”
Winners in seven categories will face off at a Final Table to be crowned world champion.
Registration starts Friday, and local chefs will be recruited this summer. For more info, roll on over to www.worldfoodchampionships.com.

Help us share the news about our supporters’ club and you could win a pair of Oakley’s.
Join our #DreamMakers club at
To celebrate Black Friday, we are giving away one pair of black Oakley Jawbreaker sunglasses to one lucky supporter – just like the ones worn by Cav.
All you have to do is become a member (or be an existing member) of our #DreamMakers supporters club and send out an email encouraging your friends to join too. You can do this by forwarding this email to your friends or compose another email using your own words.
DON’T FORGET to cc. us in the mail so that we can see who has been sharing. (marklesotho (@) gmail.com)
Remember that the aim of our #DreamMakers’ club is to foster additional support for our African MTB team. Your support goes directly to helping our riders to reach their dreams by: –
- Providing a basic subsistence allowance to help them feed their families and get the nutrition they need from a balanced diet. (the current allowance ranges between $80-$100 USD per month)
- Helping to supply and maintain their cycling equipment. We get some product support from the cycling industry, but we all know how expensive it is to keep our bikes in racing shape.
- Access to races. Most of the racing we do is in South Africa and we are very happy to camp in tents just to get the opportunity to race.
The actual sunglasses to be won are in the photograph below Cav. They are brand new, authentic Oakley with a grey polarized lens and and chrome logo. They come with a soft case and a spare grey polarized lens.
The competition will run from Friday 25/11/2016 until Thursday 01/12/2016 Midnight Central African Time. Each email sent out with us CCed will count as an entry and you can enter as many times as you want. The winner will be selected randomly and notified by email. The glasses will be shipped from UK.

‘Why are we reading if not in hope that the writer will magnify and dramatize our days, will illuminate and inspire us with wisdom, courage, and the possibility of meaningfulness, and will press upon our minds the deepest mysteries, so we may feel again their majesty and power?’ ~ Annie Dillard
In the days leading up to the Great Opening of the Document I was scared. Three months had passed since I’d sent the finished manuscript to Mary, my editor — long enough to have forgotten what I’d written and become convinced it was no good. The initial read through of Mary’s notes — both handwritten on the manuscript and typed in an email — felt for a moment like getting a graded essay back from a teacher. But, interestingly, that sensation didn’t last for long. As soon as I started reading the introduction I got pulled back in.
With my trusty red pen in my hand I read a chapter at a time, making notes and deletions and reading Mary’s suggestions before returning to the laptop to update the document. Some chapters were a breeze to edit — minimal cuts, a few sentences tightened, some clarifying and honing, but mostly just polishing. Two chapters, on the other hand, needed some serious triage, and took a couple of days each.
“There is no great writing, only great rewriting” ~ Justice Louis Brandeis
On the whole I really enjoyed the editing process, much more than the initial writing. And there’s nothing surprising in that — writing is so much more fun when there are already words on the page, when you don’t have to wring your brain out to make something out of nothing. I found myself staring into space for great swathes of time as I tried to find alternative words — it was like wrangling a 50,000 piece jigsaw wearing boxing gloves. But I learned so much about how to improve a piece of work and make it shine, and gained greater insight into my own writing habits: the repeated phrases that started to irritate. My obsessive use of semi-colons. My tendency to tell and not show (something I’d never realised I did until it was pointed out to me).
Having time away from the book gave me enough breathing space to return to the words with a fresh perspective. I’d known the original version was on the flabby side, so it felt so good to be able to go back in and cut away the dead wood. The combination of Mary’s suggestions and my own edits has resulted in a leaner, tighter, more coherant book that’s so much closer to my original vision. In total 5,000 words were cut from the 50,000 word manuscript, and rather than add more words as filler, we’re including a few more Polaroids instead. This feels good too.
Today I miss my book. After the first deadline in April I was feeling traumatised, uncertain if I’d created something of any value, or just plain embarrassed myself. After meeting this second deadline I feel much calmer, reassured that at least parts of the book are decent. This entire process continues to be a lesson in letting go of my usual perfectionism and learning to accept that what is created is good enough. That it will never be perfect, and that has to be okay.
I feel confident that the photographs I’ve selected work well together, but it’s the words that make me nervous. The words and ideas are channeled from the tenderest part of me, and because this is qute a personal book, some vulnerability is coming up. Last weekend, on the eve of my deadline, I sent out a panicked message on Facebook, which was met with such kindness from everyone. One reply came from Patti Digh (Mary is also her editor):
“say what you long to say. and then move on to your next book. a book is never finished, just published.”
This really helped me get back some perspective. I’m so used to writing for newspapers and magazines that are recycled before you know it — and, worse, a blog that can be edited whenever I fancy — that the thought of creating something that can’t be changed makes me sweat. So I’ve had to get a grip and look at it this way: what I’m sending out into the world is what I know right now. In ten years I’ll no doubt be writing something very different, but this is my first book baby, and I’ve just gotta trust that she’ll reach the people that are meant to read her.
My stomach just flipped over as I wrote that. :)
So, next up: the manuscript goes to the copy editor for grammar checks and British English/American English spelling changes. Then I get it back one last time with any new queries from Mary. Design will begin soon, if it hasn’t already, and we’ve just spoken about the cover.
The book is now scheduled to be pubished in June 2012, and I’ll be coming to the USA to do a mini book tour (and I’d love to get your help organising it — more on that next year :)

What crackers can you eat on a keto diet? This low carb keto crackers recipe! And it’s the perfect way to enjoy crackers in a much more nutritious form — even if you (or your friends an family) are not keto at all. These almond flour crackers are made up of just TWO simple and healthy ingredients. And when they’re mixed together and baked, they turn into irresistible, wholesome healthy snacks!
This recipe for keto crackers with almond flour bakes up buttery and crispy, thanks to Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour! It can replace regular flour cup for cup in both cooking and baking, and has a superfine grind that blends perfectly into recipes.
Why You’ll Love This Keto Crackers Recipe
- Taste and texture like conventional crackers
- Buttery flavor
- Crunchy and sturdy
- Only 2 ingredients (plus salt), with endless variations
- Done in less than 25 minutes
- 4g net carbs (and 8g total carbohydrates) per serving
- Keto, low carb, healthy, gluten-free, & vegetarian
Low Carb Crackers Ingredients
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for almond flour crackers, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- Almond Flour – The main ingredient in the best keto crackers! The fine grind and healthy fat content makes them buttery without any actual butter. But not all brands are created equal — I recommend Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour for the best taste and texture. Different brands vary in coarseness, so some can yield a gritty consistency. Almond meal or “ground almonds” will definitely do this. If you want to use coconut flour, it won’t work as a 1:1 replacement, but you can try these coconut flour crackers instead.
- Egg – Used as a binder. A flax egg may also work, but I haven’t tried it. The crackers will probably be more fragile.
- Sea Salt – Adds savory flavor to the low carb keto crackers. Use any fine salt you like.
See more flavor variations below!
How To Make Keto Crackers With Almond Flour
This section shows how to make almond flour crackers, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Prep. Preheat the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix. Combine the almond flour and sea salt in a large bowl. Add the egg and mix well, until a dough forms. (You can also mix in a food processor.)
- Roll. Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Cut the cracker dough into smaller rectangles with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Prick with a fork or toothpick if desired. Place on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake. Low carb crackers are finished when golden on the edges.
- Cool. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Tips For The Best Low Carb Crackers
Follow these tips for perfect low carb crackers every time!
- Oil your hands if needed. The easiest way to handle the almond crackers dough is by oiling your hands just a little bit. This will prevent sticking. It’s not required, but worth a try if you find the dough sticky to work with.
- Roll as evenly and thinly as possible. Uniform thickness ensures that your keto crackers cook evenly, and rolling them extra thin ensures that they get crispy.
- No need to waste extra dough. When rolling out the dough, your goal is a rectangle, but it usually rolls out into an oval, so you may need to cut away some dough and re-attach it. You can do this as many times as you need to.
- Prick with a toothpick or fork. This helps them cook more evenly and prevents bubbling.
- Watch crackers closely. They go from crisp to burned a bit quickly toward the end. Baking time can vary depending on your pan, your oven, and how thinly you roll out the dough.
- Let them cool. Allow the crackers to cool completely before handling. They need to cool to crisp up.
Variations For Almond Flour Crackers
Feel free to add your own spices for a totally unique twist. Here are some ideas for your crispy keto crackers:
- Toasted: Sesame seeds, chia seeds, or poppy seeds would make yummy keto-friendly crackers (or try everything bagel seasoning).
- Chopped Herbs: Rosemary, basil, and parsley would all be good for a savory low carb cracker.
- Italian: You can transform these crackers with some garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Mediterranean: With some basil and sun dried tomatoes diced up and baked in. Make sure to dry the oil from the tomatoes, so the crackers don’t turn out too oily.
- Sweet: Yes, you can even make this keto crackers recipe sweet! Simply add your favorite sugar substitute, some vanilla or almond extract, and maybe sprinkle with cinnamon. (You’ll only need a couple tablespoons of sweetener, max – don’t add too much or the dough will be too dry.) And then try spreading mascarpone cheese on them… mmmm.
- Store: Let your almond flour crackers cool completely before storing them, or they will not stay crispy and will spoil faster. Store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: Cool completely and store in a freezer bag or freezer container. Line the layers of crackers with parchment paper so they don’t stick together.
What To Serve With Keto Crackers
The best keto crackers need cheese, right?! That’s one option, but I’ve got loads of others for you:
- Low Carb Dips – These keto crackers are always a hit with low carb dips like spinach artichoke dip, cold crab dip, guacamole, salsa, or bacon ranch dip.
- Soup & Chili – If you need a nice crunch with your keto chili, low carb chicken soup, stuffed pepper soup, or keto white chicken chili, these low carb crackers are the perfect choice.
- Charcuterie Board – Display crackers on a stunning keto charcuterie board!
- Spreads – These pair well with a cheese ball or chicken liver pate.
- Cheese – All crackers go well with simple slices of keto cheese. Pair these crackers with mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or cheddar cheese for a quick and easy snack.

- Food Processor – Not necessary for these keto crackers, but it sure makes mixing up the dough easy!
- Rolling Pin – You definitively need a rolling pin to roll out the dough for this low carb crackers recipe.

OK, let’s get serious for a moment…Are you kidding me????? I will NEVER buy a cracker again. So easy to mix (used food processor)–So easy to roll–(placed between two pieces of parchment paper)–SO YUM! I split the crackers up into three groups with seasons. The first group was plain. The second group, sprinkled cinnamon on top. The third, sprinkled garlic and onion powder. Can hardly wait to bake a second batch. TY for easy peasy tasty recipe!
Would you recommend some psyllium husk or xanthan gum to help a bit with the structure? They seem a little fragile and could be a bit messy, especially when kids eat them.

Hi Eric, You could try that if you want to but they would probably be less crunchy.
Difficult to make ? Yes
Unless you roll these out completely equal thickness they will not bake evenly and I had a heck of a time rolling them they’re tasty but….. not easy
Super easy and great tasting. If you are using 2 cups of flour, how many crackers should you get? I am trying to figure out the right size I should be cutting them thx.

Hi Jackie, This should make around 30 crackers.
This recipe is terrible. I followed it exactly and could not get it to form a dough at all. I added an extra egg, which didn’t help and 1/3 cup of water which finally got it to form a very loose dough. I couldn’t roll it, since it would not hold together, so I packed it into a parchment lined cookie sheet. I had to bake it for closer to 20 minutes to get it to even brown at all. It doesn’t hold together like a cracker at all.
Also, it is so incredibly dry that you choke trying to eat it. Terrible. I don’t know who tested this or if anyone else has tried to make it but this is the worst recipe I’ve ever tried.
Wholesome Yum D0
Hi Anna, Sorry this recipe didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like your issue may have come from the almond flour you used. Did you use the recommended Wholesome Yum Almond Flour? There is a video at the top of the recipe card that might help you with any issues you are having.
Hi, I want to make these almond flour crackers for both my toddlers. I want to make brown colour crackers and want to use cacoa and coconut palm sugar. It will be really helpful if you suggest me how much I have to use to make crispy crackers. Thank you😊
This recipe is absolutely delicious. It has a perfect crunch and a golden appearance. I make these all the time and flavor them with herbs and spices. I commend you for creating such a simple but outstanding recipe!! Thank you.
I have to say….often when I read “great flavor”, “super easy, healthy” I’m really skeptical. Let’s be honest, almond flour is really hard to make it tasty. BUT, these are really good. I made 2 batches….one with Italian seasoning in the dough and then added garlic butter just before cooking. The other just had the Italian seasoning. I’m also really impressed because I suck at anything doing with baking and these were rather successful. Thanks for the recipe!!!!
Made these to dip into my homemade hummus and they were so good! They have great texture and taste. Love that I can make crackers at home now instead of buying them.

Offering for Individuals
Coaching for Energy Alignment – Each session is private, confidential, and focused on your needs. A face-to-face coaching session is typically 90 minutes, which allows for concerted discussions that generate clarity around your goals, desires and authentic aspirations. The energy techniques are deployed when barriers beyond rational thinking are encountered. This fosters a true alignment of your Mind, Body and Energy systems. Typically, sessions are held with routine frequency over a few months. And when we are done, we are done.
Both parties acknowledge that a coaching relationship is in no way to be considered or construed as psychological counseling or any type of therapy. Should the need for counseling or therapy be identified, the coach will support you in developing a plan for you to seek those services from an appropriate, licensed professional. You retain the ownership and choice to engage or not to engage in additional professional services, at any time.
How Does Our Coaching Work?
Fees: $200 per hour. Our offices are located in Toronto.
Offerings for Organizations
In the past, we knew as team leaders that if we told the organization enough times and measured/incentivized people enough while sharing inspiring ‘walk around’ moments, we could manufacture a High Performing Team. The world and teams have moved on from that. Not only don’t we sit together, we most likely have never met in person with half of the people we interact.
The potential of any work group or team now depends on its members having an aligned purpose, clear personal autonomy, and the opportunity to see how each can contribute their mastery towards having an impact. Today, it is all about connection, social networks and shared communities. Today’s High Performing Teams not only need each member aligned with the goals of the group, they also must connect and interact at a harmonious energetic level.
Team Connectics© is typically a two-day experience where the insights of the human energy system are merged with insights of operating in virtual teams, and are put into clear, practical team objectives. We call it an ‘experience’ for its valuable learning, linked with tools for the kinds of personal transformation needed by each participant to further align and personally engage with the expectations of the group.
A typical Team Connectics© experience would have the following components:
Fees: $3500 per day plus $825 per person for assessments and personal coaching sessions.
- Prior to the event, each member completes the assessments and meets 1:1 with a qualified coach for a confidential development session
- Group introspection and assessment of the previous and future demands of the team
- Clear articulation of the talents and skills that each person on the team possesses
- Sharing of behavioural profiles that help the team form, and value the contribution of others
- Candid moments with the leader to nail down the purpose and expectations being placed on the team
- Clear agreement of the purpose and contribution the team needs to make to have an impact
- Techniques to manage and reduce stress (which may be caused by the group dynamics and interactions)
- Personal reflection by each person to enhance the alignment of their Mind, Body and Energy system to best support themselves and the team
- Team action plan to move forward and maintain momentum, including behavioural and emotional skills required of the group, and expectations | <urn:uuid:a88fd97b-e9f3-468c-931c-618b19c78855> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://enablemyenergy.com/offerings1.shtml | 2021-01-20T16:35:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703521139.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20210120151257-20210120181257-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.951519 | 685 |

Happy June Rudolph Day
In just a few days Christmas in July will arrive....here in Missouri the weather will be hot and sunny and maybe even thunderstorms but I'll be enjoying thoughts of Christmas. It's July when my thoughts really get geared up for shopping, organizing and preparing. The last couple years I've worked toward simplifying Christmas and it has been a rewarding experience...less really is more at times.
Things I've cut back on include:
1, Stocking Stuffers: I refused to get sucked into all the cute gimicky things that are out there for stocking stuffers. Reason: There still sitting around come July, often without being touched. So I am trying to opt instead for a couple cute things, a couple practical things and a couple wild cards. Six is the limit....and last year it worked out just fine...no one felt slighted at all.
2. Parties: A friend decided to host a Christmas party for our "friend" group in 2010 and she did an awesome job...so I opted OUT of hosting a Christmas party. We still did the annual Gratitude Brunch Thanksgiving weekend Sunday and it was just the right kick off for the holiday season. We included an ornament exchange. My daughter wanted to host our small extended family party on a Sunday before Christmas so I helped her with that and it was the perfect setting. AND it took that off my responsibility list! I always have a Christmas Eve Dinner for family and a few close friends. Last year was fingerfoods so this year is an actual buffet dinner. Need to get a simple menu in place!!
3. Gifts: Cut down slightly on gifts and it worked well. I still might cut back a bit more this year. Christmas is not just gifts. It's so much more. Another thing I did to simplify was do gift categories...like a movie, a book, some clothes, house item, etc. That way my children got an assortment and it helped me focus on what to be looking for.
4. Crafts: I've never been a huge craft person but I am always lured into wanting to "make" something. Sometimes even when it turns out great its still just one more thing to store and display. So I virtually did NO crafts in 2010...didn't miss them at all...used my creativity for the decor and the party favors etc.
5. Decor: I put out probably a fifth of my Christmas decor in 2010 and the house still looked fully decorated. I am slowly getting rid of some things unless I really LOVE them but I also realize that it's ok to keep then and just alternate years that I use them. There are a few things that I want out every year but not all. It sure made the decorating AND the de-decorating a lot easier. I still have a long way to go decluttering and organizing the stuff but it's very freeing!! I also try to re-purpose and use things I already have on hand for centerpieces etc. rather than adding more "things" to my overflowing house!
I'll keep you up to date on my Simplifying Christmas efforts!! And now......Christmas in July will be arriving SOON!!! | <urn:uuid:affff371-2d34-4cf2-bb5c-a81ff0c772c2> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://rudolphday.blogspot.com/2011/06/happy-june-rudolph-day.html | 2015-08-31T17:43:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644066275.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025426-00000-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976434 | 660 |

Making the Most of Your Donation
Making a donation is a way of reaching out a helping hand. By providing even a small donation, you can be part of an effort to provide medical assistance, supply food and shelter, and help families rebuild their lives and communities. Thanks for joining us in these relief efforts.
Yet, sometimes figuring out how to help can be overwhelming. Here are some tips that you can keep in mind when making your donation.
For a list of organizations that meet the InterAction standards and are responding to Typhoon Haiyan, visit our Typhoon Haiyan Crisis List. For a list of organizations that meet the InterAction standards and are responding in the Syria region, visit our Syria Crisis List.
All InterAction members meet our PVO Standards, which set out standards of accountability and transparency both to donors and affected populations. You can also visit Charity Navigator and GuideStar for independent assessments of organizations you wish to donate to.
Monetary Donations: Flexible, Fast, and Effective
If you want to lend a hand, a monetary donation is a flexible, fast and effective way to reach out and help others. Its flexibility allows it to be used for whatever is most necessary, whether that is medical supplies, shelter, food or something else entirely. Its impact can be felt quickly, no waiting on shipping or coordinating logistics. It makes aid effective by supplying exactly what is needed at the right time. A small donation can make a huge impact toward the larger goal of providing relief and resilience.
Material Donations: What to Know Before You Send
Material donations from individuals consist of new or used items that are donated to a relief effort. If you do decide to donate materials rather than making a monetary donation, then there are steps you can take to ensure that your donation makes as big an impact as possible. Here are some great ideas:

- InterAction’s Guidance for Material Donations in Disaster Settings
In the aftermath of humanitarian crises, it is critical that the response of the international community is immediate and well-coordinated in order to save as many lives as possible.
- Volunteers are asked to have previous disaster or international experience or technical skills (for example, medicine, communications, logistics, water/sanitation, engineering), and are usually from neighboring communities not affected by the disaster.
- Well-intentioned foreigners, lacking technical skills, disaster experience and familiarity with the local culture and language can seriously complicate relief efforts.
- Those with technical skills or international experience who would like to volunteer should register with the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) after reading this page.
InterAction Guidance on International Adoption
The media attention in Haiti after the earthquake on January 12, 2010, has also brought increased awareness to the plight of children who have become unaccompanied or orphaned as a result of the natural disaster. InterAction stresses that, in the aftermath of humanitarian crises, international adoption should not be the first response to helping protect and care for vulnerable children.

It has been the custom for decades that the media and beyond periodically select the most beautiful, most successful men and women. This time, let us remember the men who were recognized as the hottest and most desirable, and who have been on the covers of popular magazines more than once.
But it’s been more than a year since then. And we wondered what these men look like now. Of course, they are completely different ages, so we compare them not with each other, but with them in the past. Write your opinion in the comments.
There’s a lot of facial hair on Nick Nolte, 1992 vs. 2021.
Tom Hiddleston has also changed in nine years: 2013 vs. 2022
Is Denzel Washington recognizable in both pictures? 1996 vs. 2022.
Patrick Dempsey has gone a little grayer and acquired wrinkles, photos from 2007 vs. 2022
Diego Boneta, 2015 vs. 2021
Of course, age takes its toll, as Harrison Ford’s pics confirm, 1998 vs. 2021
Robert Pattinson has also changed quite a bit since his first roles, but let’s compare 2011 to 2022
Maybe the angle is wrong, or maybe Tom Cruise has changed so much, 1990 vs. 2021
Your opinion on Mel Gibson, 1985 vs. 2022
Probably not very correct because of the selfies, but it doesn’t change the point. Let’s compare Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1991 to 2021.
A lot of water under the bridge. Harry Hamlin in 1987 and 2021.
2005 versus 2021 with James Denton as an example.
Would you recognize Oscar De La Hoya in 2021? The first picture is from 1997.
Daniel Dae Kim, 2006 vs. 2021

oracleAs part of the online degree in Computer Science that I've been doing, I'm required to use Oracle. Now, Oracle isn't open source software, so it was always going to be a bit irritating. What follows is what I discovered and posted on the University message board...
I've just been through a nasty battle trying to get Oracle installed on Linux. To cut a long story short, I cannot get it to work on my normal desktop (on which I have compiled everything from scratch - I guess the closed binaries just don't want to play nice with my open software, or vice versa).
However, I got out a spare hard disk and installed a fresh build of Debian Sarge. It seems that Oracle have helpfully provided an apt-get site for Debian users. You just add this to your apt list;
deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian/ unstable main non-free
apt-get update apt-get install oracle-xe
Once it's downloaded and installed, run...
...and follow the prompts. My normal built-from-scratch desktop would always get to the point where the configure script would say; 'Starting Oracle Net Listener...' and then pause forever. The Debian one, however, continued, finished and everything seems to be running now - I can log in.
I think it might be nicer for me to install the Debian disk in a separate machine and connect remotely, rather than having to swap out disks whenever I want to switch between university stuff and other things.
I stuck my Debian Oracle disk in a different machine that I don't want to run any kind of desktop stuff on. After I got it to boot (had to specify 'noapic' as a kernel boot parameter), I found that Oracle wouldn't let me access the HTTP interface remotely.
I had to configure remote access somehow. I managed to do it by 'ssh'ing to the machine, and using w3m to get to; http://localhost:8080/apex/
When you log in, there is an option called 'Manage HTTP Access', which is what you want.
I can now get to the web interface by using http://<IP address>:8080/apex/ from my desktop, so now I'm happy.
More fun and games trying to get sqlplus to work properly on Linux!
I think I'm becoming aware that I am the only Linux user on this course - if this is the case, then I suppose these notes that I'm making are at least going to be useful for me to refer to. In case my hard disk breaks and I have to start again from scratch or something.
It turns out that the sqlplus binary is located here;
You can't just run it straight off because it wants various environment variables set.
After hours faffing about trying to guess what it wanted set and getting various stages of nowhere, I finally discovered a script that does it for you (the Oracle documentation was no help, bah humbug, proprietory closed software rant, etc), so stuff this instruction in your .bashrc so that it loads automatically when you log into Linux;
Now, as that long string should now be in your $PATH, you can just type sqlplus and enter, and you'll be up and running.
However, the default sqlplus interface is pants. First of all, whenever you press backspace, you get annoying '^H' characters appearing instead of mistakes being deleted. Also, none of the arrow keys work, so you have to be able to type extremely accurately. Plus, if you like your vi-style command line editing, you're stuffed because that's switched off too.
I've discovered some ways around this.
The first is to use 'rlwrap' (you can install it using apt-get if you don't have it already).
So, instead of just typing 'sqlplus', you type 'rtlwrap sqlplus'. I suppose you could make an alias of the sqlplus command that runs the rtlwrap version, and then you could just type 'sqlplus'.
The other method is to use something called 'gqlplus', available here; http://gqlplus.sourceforge.net/
You tar -zxvf it and run ./configure && make.
Warning: I noticed too late that the instructions warn you not to run 'make install', and did it anyway. I've not noticed any damage yet, so I hope I got away with it. Just copy the gqlplus binary that is created into /usr/bin or somewhere handy like that.
Then, you just run 'gqlplus', and you get the sqlplus prompt, but with proper command line functionality.
I noticed that I wasn't running in vi mode, so I created a file in my home directory called '.inputrc', added the line 'set editing-mode vi' to it, and logged in again and everything was great.
Oh, one more thing;
When you actually run a query in sqlplus, such as 'select * from drug;', the output looks terribly misformatted.
If you run these commands...
SQL> set recsep off SQL> set linesize 100 (you can increase the width of your terminal with your mouse and increase this number) SQL> set newpage 0 SQL> set pagesize 999
...and then, if any columns are overly long....
SQL> column dname format a20
(where the '20' is the maximum width you want the column to be, and 'dname' is the column header)
...you should get something that looks more reasonable. | <urn:uuid:89b01c16-bf01-46da-8393-cc4c68b9af36> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://grke.net/linux/oracle.html | 2019-03-18T23:54:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912201812.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20190318232014-20190319014014-00294.warc.gz | en | 0.930868 | 1,176 |
NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker was widely praised for her performance moderating the final presidential debate between President Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden Thursday, following a week of Trump waging attacks against her.
Welker, who is the first Black woman to moderate a general-election presidential debate since Carole Simpson of ABC in 1992, was targeted by Trump in the days leading up to her moderation duties. The President repeatedly accused Welker of being “a radical left Democrat or whatever she is” following a New York Post article claiming that the White House correspondent has “deep Democratic ties.” (She doesn’t.)
Just hours before the debate, Trump kept up the assault on Welker in a tweet. The President wrote that Welker is “far worse” than the “bias, hatred and rudeness” of CBS and “60 Minutes,” in light of Trump reportedly walking out on his solo interview with anchor Lesley Stahl over her tough questioning.
However, Welker kept her composure throughout the night as she asked pointed questions to both candidates and cut in as soon as their remarks deviated from the debate topic at hand by telling them: “We need to move on.”
Even Trump himself came around and briefly praised Welker.
“By the way, so far, I respect very much the way you’re handling this, I have to say,” Trump said.
Some examples that earned Welker high praise included when Trump criticized the moderator as he blasted Biden for his position on fracking. After the President told Welker that “you never asked that question,” she responded “we have a number of topics, we’re going to get to it.” As soon as Trump hit back by preparing to attack Biden for “socialized medicine,” Welker gave the floor to Biden for his response.
When Welker pressed Trump on his administration’s family separation policy that separated more than 4,000 children from their parents at the border and what he will do to reunite families affected by it, Trump attempted to deflect by bringing up an images of “horrible cages.” But Welker pressed him again about whether he has a plan to reunite the children with their parents, to which Trump replied “yes, we’re trying very hard.”
Segueing into the final question of the night, Welker halted Trump’s rant accusing Biden of setting out to “destroy the oil industry.” After Welker gave Biden time to respond — which he did by ripping Trump for taking “everything out of context” — Trump attempted to butt in by asking if the former VP is “going to get China to do it.” Welker didn’t let Trump get away with his interjection, however, as she replied “no, we’re finished” before moving onto the final question about Trump’s Inauguration Day speech if he wins re-election.
Throughout and after the debate, Welker was roundly praised by other members of the press. Even Chris Wallace, who moderated last month’s disastrous debate, couldn’t help but express envy for the debate that Welker solidly moderated.
Shortly after the debate wrapped up, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams said “somebody owes our colleague Kristen Welker an apology,” referring to Trump’s weeklong attacks against her. Fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow agreed with Williams, saying that “she’s owed an apology by the President, who attacked her over and over and over again heading into this event tonight.”
Near-universal praise for moderator Welker underscores she’s the lone reporter to escape the curse of being a 2020 presidential moderator. Two moderators got steamrolled and third would-be moderator got suspended from C-SPAN. Once-glamorous job carries new risks in Trump era.

A quick personal shoutout: @kwelkernbc is doing a phenomenal job moderating this debate. Phenomenal. Her colleagues in the press corps, this reporter included, are ecstatic for her (and not surprised.)
— Jeff Mason (@jeffmason1) October 23, 2020
It’s extremely embarrassing for everyone who tried, unfairly, to discredit her that @kwelkernbc is by far the best debate moderator of the 2020 cycle.
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) October 23, 2020
Just fabulous, fabulous questions by Kristen Welker.
— John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) October 23, 2020
—@kwelkernbc without a doubt the best moderator of the 2020 cycle. Throughout this debate, she's been in command. But she's also asked great questions and allowed time for the candidates to respond to one another without letting things get too far off track.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sen. Charles Schumer says he’ll hold a Senate committee hearing in Washington to push federal officials on security initiatives the New York Democrat is seeking for the nation’s northern border.
Schumer says Tuesday he’ll be chairman of the May 17 hearing in Washington before the Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security.
He says top officials from the Department of Homeland Security will give updates on border security initiatives sought by Schumer and other lawmakers from northern border states. The proposals include using military-grade radar to combat drug trafficking along the northern border.
In March, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Schumer at an oversight hearing in Washington that her department is working with the military on radar and other technologies for the border and that things were moving rapidly. | <urn:uuid:51c7fd6c-2b04-4fdf-bb2e-19a39f729354> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/05/sen_schumer_sets_hearing_on_us.html | 2015-04-26T15:48:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246654687.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045734-00297-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924094 | 168 |
Avoid Further Mesothelioma Injury Through Prompt Treatment
Mesothelioma injury can be classified into three main groups, Pleural (chest), Peritoneal (abdominal) and Pericardial (heart). All three types of Mesothelioma injury are mainly cause through exposure to an Asbestos related substance.
Mesothelioma injury arises when the Mesothelioma cells surrounding the lungs, heart, or abdominal organs become cancerous. The Mesothelioma cells change to form nodules, which can then clump together to form a tumor, or tumors around the organ.
In more extreme cases of Mesothelioma Cancer, the Mesothelioma tumor can break through the walls of the organs that it surrounds and cause internal damage to the organ. Also, in some cases the Cancer can travel through the blood stream and affect other organs, not directly surrounded by the original Mesothelioma Cancerous Cells.
The origins of Mesothelioma injury begin when a person is exposed to an asbestos related substance. The person either inhales the Asbestos fibers, or the fibers enter the skin. These fibers either lodge in the lungs, or travel through the body and affect the heart, or abdominal organs.
The bodies natural defense system will attempt to eradicate the fibers from the body, through attempts to expel the fibers. However, some fibers will become lodged in the Mesothelioma cell layers that provide a protective layer around the lungs, heart and abdominal area.
Over time, the Mesothelioma cells surrounding the fibers, can change consistency and become cancerous. It is at this stage that the Mesothelioma injury begins to occur, as it turns into Mesothelioma.
However, Mesothelioma injury also includes the conditional affects that occur as a result of having Mesothelioma Cancer. Some of these conditional affects include, immune deficiency, which can lead to a slow break down of the bodies defense system.
Once the bodies defense system begins to break down the body can become subject to colds and other such illnesses. The overall affects of having Mesothelioma Cancer can lead to an array of Mesothelioma injuries and has the potential to cause major organ failure.
In order to prevent the adverse affects of Mesothelioma injury, Mesothelioma doctors have been implementing various treatments that aim to prevent further damage. Some of these treatments include, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immune augmentative therapy.
In regard to Mesothelioma Cancer, Surgery aims to remove the Cancerous Mesothelioma cells, while chemotherapy uses drugs to kill the Cancerous cells. Radiation therapy also aims to eliminate the Mesothelioma cells, while immune augmentative therapy aims to restore the body’s natural immune system to a level in which it can be effective in helping to fight the effects of Mesothelioma Cancer.
All of these treatment methods are aimed at preventing further Mesothelioma injury to the patient. If you, or someone you know, have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer, ensure that you seek immediate treatment to prevent the affects of Mesothelioma Cancer and to avoid further Mesothelioma injury. | <urn:uuid:5b528148-e367-4233-9a8d-cd95b2f5f620> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://marigoldproduction.com/AS/sites/cancer/avoid-further-mesothelioma-injury-through-promp.html | 2022-09-29T14:58:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335355.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929131813-20220929161813-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.925321 | 691 |
