A family-owned sauces and spice company are trying to determine how long their flavor-packed spices will last for their customers. They are planning an online marketing and sales strategy and this would be helpful information.
People use widely different amounts per serving, and there is a bit of natural variation in the amount in each jar.
Mind the Math ran the numbers. Let's walk through them.
Each container is 4oz (113g). 5% relative uncertainty in the weight of each package translates to just around 5.5g as a margin of error. Since this uncertainty can go in either direction (over or under), that translates to an 11g variation, probably equivalent to a several servings.
The bigger variation will be in the amount people use.
Based on our experiments with usage, the median serving is about 2 grams. Some heavy users will use twice as much. Less than 1 gram is hardly perceptible. The distribution shown here is a suitable approximation for our purposes.
With all that said, here is the resulting chart of the number of servings. The number you might see on a label would be simply something like "60," but clearly there is a lot of variation.
How long will the spices last?
We now turn our attention to the implications for sustained re-orders. We know the product is amazing (we've been using it for lots of meals), but identifying the range of behaviors of our potential consumers can allow for better planning for marketing campaigns.
We assume that the customers of this product will use it between once every two weeks and five times a week. Anything in this range is treated as equally likely since we have no prior knowledge to tell us otherwise. We find that the distribution to be really spread out:
The most enthusiastic consumers can be expected to re-order every 2 months or so. This is a "best case"scenario that was identified for our client. The average user may order once or twice per year. | <urn:uuid:897757c5-c0a2-47c6-9c28-1b064272d750> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.mindthemath.com/blog/2018/serving-sizes | 2019-02-15T19:35:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247479101.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190215183319-20190215205319-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.956232 | 399 |
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is best known for being a socialist. In addition to being a socialist, though, Bernie Sanders is also an isolationist, meaning that he is very against US involvement in most foreign conflicts.
In a recent Tweet, Sanders expressed his dislike for America’s involvement in foreign conflicts while at the same time attempting to pander to veterans by saying, “If you can’t afford to take care of your veterans, then don’t go to war.”
As someone that has never served in the military, and as someone who is fighting to care for illegal immigrants over caring for our veterans, Sanders has very little room to speak on how veterans are treated in this country. One politician that does have the right to speak on this issue, though, is former Navy SEAL and current congressman Dan Crenshaw – who appeared on Fox News to blast Bernie Sanders over his ill-advised remarks.
In response to Sander’s Tweet, Crenshaw said, “I went there [to war] because our country needed it. We went there because it was in the best interest of our country. I wasn’t thinking down the road of being taken care of.”
Crenshaw himself added more to his tweet in the Fox News segment below. | <urn:uuid:2fe17d11-7e28-433c-9f0a-8afe307a32f2> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.libertyvideonews.com/rep-dan-crenshaw-rips-bernie-sanders-over-dumb-tweet/ | 2021-05-09T23:28:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989018.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20210509213453-20210510003453-00086.warc.gz | en | 0.98502 | 270 |
The seizure of Singapore’s Terrex military vehicles and current relationship with China were subjects of multiple questions from Members of Parliament during the sitting on Parliament on 9 January 2017.
In addressing Singapore’s current relationship with China in response to questions from People’s Action Party Member of Parliament (MP) Zaqy Mohammed and Workers’ Party MP Low Thia Khiang, Singapore’s Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said: “In international relations, it is natural for countries to want other parties to act entirely in line with their own national interests.”
He added that “as a small state, Singapore will from time to time encounter such expectations from other countries, and many of these other countries will be much bigger than Singapore.”
See video for full response by Dr Balakrishnan:
In a Facebook post on 11 January on his Facebook page, Dr Balakrishnan added: “We are a little red dot. From time to time, we will face pressure from other countries to align ourselves completely with their interests. This is realpolitik. Sometimes we will have to have a polite disagreement but tell them that “we are still for you and not against you”.
He ended the post with a reminder that “in times like these, all Singaporeans must remain calm and united. We must focus on the big picture and understand our own long-term national interests. Ultimately, foreign policy begins at home.”

Mind-blowing. Brilliant. Awesome. Clean entertainer with a 'state-of-the-art' message for every woman... and man. Simply superb!
One can go on and on tweaking adjectives to describe this stunning movie that not only enthralls you and have you holding your sides, laughing freely in some scenes, but also sends you home (male or female) with a feel-good attitude and that adrenalin rush of being one with Rani's motives and decision. In the end, you become one with QUEEN even as you start to leave the theatre grooving to the Laxmikant-Pyarelal number from ANHONEE (1973), 'Hungama Ho Gaya'
, a wonderfully remixed, and intelligently re-used track.
Clambering over the bar counter in Paris (fully tunn
), dancing to the beats of 'Hungama Ho Gaya'
, Rani (Kangana Ranaut) is in her heightened state of exasperated elation. She knocks off her behenji
-type of sweater and has enough sense to tuck it in her hand-bag before she goes berserk.
Vikas Bahl, take a bow. This is a flawless presentation. Even though the film clocks around 146 minutes, one wishes it wouldn't end. Imagine feeding French Toasts to a French national who has not heard of one and Golgappa
's in Amsterdam. Even the funny parts, though unintentional are so funny that it beats a comedy hands down.
And no item number comes on screen when the end credits are rolling. Instead, there are Facebook updates of Rani's 'honeymoon', which is a mini movie in itself. Novel idea!
The casting and filtering of characters is a fine-art in itself on how a movie should be made. The depiction and subtle usage of the characters, without overstaying any one character's limit is another. Moreover, having a mix of characters from Japan, Russia, France and Paris and having them blend together to give off a cosmopolitan effect and yet not overshadowing the other is, I would say, a third lesson on how to handle a film which is as complex as this. CHECK OUT: QUEEN Dialogues
The innovative way of building up the back-end of the love story, after it has been torn apart in the first reel is the garnish on the dish!
Rani is readying herself for her marriage which is a day away. Her mehendi ceremony is on and her fiance Vijay (Rajkummar Rao) is sending desperate messages to her. A shy Rani, accompanied by her younger brother, who is always with her, enters a coffee shop in Rajouri, Delhi, close to her home and shyly scolds Vijay for not waiting another day to see her. But Vijay has news for her; news that will change her life and her honeymoon plans (which she has been dreaming of). After years of courtship, Vijay decides that he cannot get married to her, stating that they are different.
Rani's world collapses; she rushes home, after trying unsuccessfully to plead with Vijay to change his decision, and locks herself in her room. The wedding mood is changed to gloom. Her parents keep vigil outside her room the whole night. When she finally emerges in the morning, she tells her parents that she wants to go on her honeymoon, alone!
A request her parents grant. Once in Paris and from there to Amsterdam, Rani is exposed to a whole new world and friends who she would have never otherwise met. She makes it to the Eiffel Tower and other prominent places of interest she and Vijay had decided they would visit... depressed and all alone.
Suddenly, another Vijay comes into her life, Vijaylaxmi (Lisa Haydon).This free-spirited girl who works in the same hotel where Rani is staying a guest befriends Rani and the two hit it off. Opposites attract!
From here, the film is a journey through Rani as she fights off her blues, shakes off Vijay who comes to Paris in search of her, pleading for her forgiveness and the ultimate change from within that sets her free.
Vijay will have to wait till she finishes off her 'honeymoon' and she promises to speak with him in India.
Kangana gives a standout performance handling the subtle changes within Rani with grace. No over-the-top histrionics which we have come to associate with her. This here is a different Kangana. In fact, this here is Rani. From shy and vulnerable, to bold and daring to take life by the scruff of its neck, Kangana's transformation is drastic. But her attitude remains the same. The change comes from within. I can stick my neck out to say that next year's Best Actress Award is anybody's guess. CHECK OUT: QUEEN - Songs Lyrics
Lisa Haydon is a revelation. Just like Rani's father and brother wait longingly for her to come on video-chat, so do you after she leaves the scene. Oh, how you wish she was in the second half. And it is this longing that highlight what I said earlier of how no character overstays their limit. A complete shift in performance from RASCALS; natural and perfect to the 'T'.
The actors who play Rani's roomies in Amsterdam - one from Japan, Russia and France are perfectly cast. Ditto the chef.
I can go on and on.... But I'll stop here.
This Women's Day, go out and celebrate with QUEEN. A movie worth going miles to see! | <urn:uuid:96d3e519-a3bb-4942-8877-66ddea2ce187> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.glamsham.com/movies/reviews/queen-movie-review.asp | 2017-02-20T08:49:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170434.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00346-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964298 | 1,195 |
Published June 3, 2021
UB is updating its COVID-19 protocols in preparation for more employees returning to campus over the summer.
The rules for summer reflect revised guidance recently issued by SUNY, as the pandemic continues to evolve and colleges and universities across the state prepare for a more normal return to campus come fall.
Effective immediately, summer protocols at UB will include:
Exemption from COVID-19 testing. Students and employees who are regularly on campus will no longer need to participate in mandatory weekly testing upon verifying that they have been fully vaccinated.
However, required weekly testing will continue for those who are on campus and have not been fully vaccinated or fail to verify that they have completed their vaccination series.
Human Resources has provided guidance to employees on how to submit proof of vaccination. Students can submit documentation to Health Services.
Indoor masking and physical distancing. Students and employees on campus during the summer must continue to wear masks and stay physically distanced while indoors, unless they are alone in an enclosed office space or in their residence hall room.
Continuity of daily health screening. All employees and students regularly on campus must continue to submit a daily health screening. That can be found here.
Following state guidelines for special events. For performances or special events on campus, UB will adhere to current guidelines outlined by the New York State Department of Health. Depending on the event, this may include capacity limits, mask-wearing, physical distancing and/or proof of testing or vaccination.
No distancing in health science settings. Campus health science and clinical teaching laboratories may continue to operate without the six-foot distancing normally required in a classroom. Masks, however, must be worn, regardless of whether individuals have been vaccinated or not.
Rules for visitors. Visitors to UB will be required to abide by its health guidelines, which include wearing a mask and filling out the Daily Health Check when coming to campus.
UB will be resuming in-person, campus-based instruction for the fall 2021 semester. In preparation for the fall semester, employees will be returning to campus throughout the summer months. Additional SUNY and UB fall guidance and updates are forthcoming.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo already has announced that students across all 64 SUNY campuses will be required to get vaccinated for the fall semester. That’s contingent on the Food and Drug Administration approving a vaccine formally, not just for emergency use, which is the case now. The SUNY Board of Trustees would need to sign off on the mandate as well.
The university also is planning for higher occupancy in its residence halls during the fall, with the understanding that the virus may force UB to reduce capacity, as well as set aside space for quarantine and isolation.
Why did you print, "Gov. Andrew Cuomo already has announced that students across all 64 SUNY campuses will be required to get vaccinated for the fall semester," when he cannot do so unless the FDA formally approves the vaccine? That is deceptive writing. You should have stated, "Gov. Cuomo will require all …. if the FDA…."
This is yet another example of the one-sided narrative being pushed by mass media to persuade people to get an experimental vaccine. I expect more from UB. There are many reasons why students, staff, U.S. citizens would not or do not want to get the COVID vaccine. Many, like myself, have already had COVID and have natural immunity. Donating blood at the Red Cross confirmed I have COVID antibodies. UB's Dr. Russo still pushes in the media for naturally infected individuals to get vaccinated while using words like, "perhaps, could, might, likely, should...". Dr. Russo has said naturally infected people SHOULD be even better protected after being vaccinated, they'll LIKELY not need a booster, natural immunity MIGHT not protect against other COVID strains/mutations, etc." The medical community can't know the results at this early stage. The research is not available, yet they push the "get jabbed or else" fear-based narrative. WAKE UP. Vaccinated people can still get COVID (any variant) and spread it. My friend contracted COVID after being vaccinated. What is the difference?
Where is UB's coverage of the segregation of vaccinated vs unvaccinated people across our campus, state and country? Will UB bring back separate water fountains like our history shows was done for Black and white Americans? TERRIBLE!!!! UBNow should take a stand and show more than the one-sided, government-controlled narrative.
There seems to be a contradiction here. CDC guidelines say that vaccinated people don't need masks indoors, yet this is supposedly following CDC guidelines?
That's a blatant contradiction if I've ever seen one.
The language in headlines and articles has been deceptive, and in my conversations with students, many do not read the entire article to learn that this vaccine/gene therapy is not yet FDA-approved; typically FDA approval takes two years to see long-term studies on efficacy and safety. And many do not know that college students can use medical or religious exemptions for vaccines.
Of course, problems could arise after two years of a "long-term" study, but they don't look that far out before approval, and previous pharmaceuticals, such as Vioxx, show us that problems may arise and be recognized years later. There are multiple recalls of medications and medical devices each month. No one should be coerced into taking any experimental medication, vaccine or gene therapy, and being honest upfront is a great first step to ethical discussion of this topic and a path forward.
Furthermore, now that Dr. Fauci's emails have been released through a FOIA request, and his real views on masking of asymptomatic individuals are known, the CDC and SUNY should seriously reconsider their masking policies. | <urn:uuid:113ea9ea-7e83-45d3-8b08-aaebd8e3af94> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2021/06/updated-covid-protocols.html | 2021-09-17T22:02:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055808.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917212307-20210918002307-00383.warc.gz | en | 0.958192 | 1,208 |

This is a nice lipstick. It goes on velveety smooth and I was surprised at how deep the pigment is so that it almost looks like a lip stain more than a lipstick.It stays on about the same as your regular wear lipstick. It's nice there's no perfumey smell or waxy taste. I found it quite hydrating as well and it didn't dry out my lips like some lipsticks.
100% Pure 100% good!
from Ottawa, Ontario
I discovered this line on the TSC as someone striving to find products without chemicals, toxins etal ..... thank you!Using skin moisturisers and cosmetics from this line I recommend it 100%!This lipstick is terrific with a moisturising base and berry colours without the toxins which the majority of cosmetics companys still use and get away with selling to the public! Why risk your health when there are alternatives like this product.Try it and you won't be dissappointed!Janet H. | <urn:uuid:ffdeef89-3646-456e-95dc-bc4c71640530> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://www.theshoppingchannel.com/pages/productdetails?nav=R:431506 | 2017-02-25T08:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171670.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00313-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.907863 | 449 |

According to the research myself and my friend Kelly have been doing, our ancestor, my great, great, great, great grandmother, Mary DeFrance died on the 6th February 1858. One hundred and fifty four years ago today. For me, researching our female ancestors is really exciting, for they can be hard to trace. This is mainly because the females adopt their spouses surnames. They are therefore quite hard to find in the records if you do not know who they marrried. In this case Marie married William Davey. How they met is unknown, but from the pieces I have managed to unravel I have created my own story which may one day be proven to be true or incorrect.
- Marie DeFrance was born in St. Peter Port, Guernsey about 1782. Her father may be Thomas DeFrance born circa 1765.
- In 1789, the start of the French Revolution takes place. I wonder how this affects the islanders, as thousands of French aristocrats apparently flee to Jersey, expanding the size of St. Helier dramatically.
- In 1804, Marie marries William Davis/Davey in Guernsey. William, I believe has sailed over from England (he was born in West Coker, Somerset). Maybe for work? I do know that at some time William’s occupation is that of a ‘Carter’. This is not a job that was seen as doing well in the world.
- Unusually for those days, they do not have a child until 1811 (7 years after marriage), Thomas Davis/Davey. Maybe she had given birth to earlier babies but I have not found any record of them.
- In 1813, Rachel Mary Davis/Davey is born in St. Helier. So we now know they have left Guernsey for Jersey, Channel Islands, UK. Only the baptism records have been found regarding Rachel, so I do not know what becomes of her.
- In 1816, William George Davey is born in St. Helier, Jersey (notice the spelling Davis is no longer used).
- In 1819, Mary Ann Davey is born. She goes on to marry a George Le Breton.
- In 1821, my great great great grandfather is born, Isaac William Davey. His godparents are William Leto and Catherine De France (later she is Catherine Leto)
- In 1832, their is a cholera epidemic which sweeps through the town and outskirts. Marie’s husband writes his Will & Testament at this time, as I am sure do many others. In the record Marie’s name is spelt Mary. This english way of spelling their names was sometimes purposely done to blend in with the locals.
- the rest is unknown..
Then at 2am on Saturday 6th February 1858 Mary dies at her home at 14 Lempriere Street. Fanny Sampson was present. I do not know who Fanny Sampson is yet. She died of ‘vieillesse – old age’ at 76 years old, which suggests to me that she was a tough old girl!
Where she is buried is unknown at the moment, but it is on my ‘to find out’ list.
If you think you are connected to Marie DeFrance or know more about her life, I would love to hear from you! | <urn:uuid:22e01f36-f774-45df-ab45-5a228dbf9996> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://channelislandancestry.com/2012/02/06/mary-defrance/ | 2015-05-25T19:23:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928586.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00004-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976217 | 700 |
The Livia Cycle Coat has been designed with winter in mind. It is made from a warm triple layer fabric which is both waterproof (not just showerproof) and breathable, and also benefits from a slight built-in stretch. All of this means it is not too hot when you are cycling but will keep you warm when you set off, even on the chilliest mornings. The coat hangs beautifully and has been specially tailored for cycling. It has cleverly concealable reflective panels on the cuffs, collar and belt to make you visible when you are out after dark.
The Livia is tailored in the arms and shoulders specifically for cyclists, so you can ride in comfort on any kind of bike. And it's deliberately designed so that, despite its length, it doesn't get caught in your chain or wheels. But despite these practicalities, you never need to compromise on style with this one - this is about as stylish as you can be on two wheels, and nobody need ever know you got there by bike. | <urn:uuid:9b00ea73-4e8e-41bc-8020-e7762781b3e7> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.velovixen.com/water-off-a-duck-s-back-livia-coat-black | 2014-03-11T10:19:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011173115/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091933-00005-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977881 | 207 |
As stated before, during this time there should be little or no physical contact, as this is something that should wait until marriage (1 Corinthians -20).
Courtship takes the position that the two people have no physical contact at all (no touching, no hand-holding, no kissing) until marriage.

Getting back on the greens will be a reality for golfers by next week, starting Monday, May 11, Village Management Services CEO Jeff Parker announced during a regular meeting of the Golden Rain Foundation board on Tuesday, May 5.
“That is, of course, going to be with restrictions and operational controls,” Parker said. “(This is to) ensure social distancing and to ensure that we have as few touch points as possible with regards to the structure of riding in the golf carts, the flags, the cups — we won’t nearly have as many touch points as we would in a normal golfing activity.”
In moving toward the early stage of phase two of a four-stage plan, Gov. Gavin Newsom has greenlighted the reopening of “lower-risk businesses” and public spaces as Orange County counts over 3,000 cases and 65 deaths from COVID-19.
Parker noted that the state’s latest instruction provides more flexibility on a county level, as phase two allows local authorities to set looser reopening directives as long as conditions meet certain criteria with a readiness plan in place.
As scheduled, outdoor tennis will follow shortly after golfing with plans to reopen midweek, as early as May 13 if all goes well, Parker said. He and his team are waiting to hear more regarding other outdoor activities such as pickleball and paddle tennis once phase two guidelines are released by the county.
In addition to his COVID-19 updates, Parker announced that Saddleback College Emeritus Institute’s decision to host its fall semester classes exclusively online is final.
“They won’t be changing their mind,” Parker said.
The popular program hopes to return to regular, in-class operations by spring semester.
Holiday clubhouse hours
In an effort to reduce costs, the board passed a resolution that cuts clubhouse operational hours — with the exception of Clubhouse One and Seven — on select holidays, totaling about $13,000 in annual savings.
The board amended the original resolution to clarify the exclusion of Clubhouse Seven bridge room, and to make an exception for Clubhouse One operations, keeping their doors open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the limited-hours schedule.
“I think that closing down (Clubhouse One) at 4 p.m. is not very realistic,” Director Pat English said, noting the previous meeting’s proposal to extend it from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. She noted that she is always in favor of saving money, but does not consider the modified hours practical, as there is no time for clean up.
Director Joe Fitzekam, who sits on the Community Activities Committee, said he does not believe an additional two-hour extension would face objection by the committee based on its past discussions.
As proposed, all clubhouses — excluding Clubhouse One and Seven — will operate on limited hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the following holidays: President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day and Friday after Thanksgiving.
Clubhouse One will operate until 6 p.m on the aforementioned holidays. The financial impact of Clubhouse One’s operational hour extension is not reflected in the staff report.
All clubhouses will be closed on New Year’s Day, since reservations have historically been nonexistent, according to a staff report.
No changes will be made for clubhouses on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which operate at regular hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The new measures will cut holiday pay — 1.5 times base pay — from 84 hours to about 30 hours.
VMS Recreation and Special Events Director Brian Gruner confirmed that the annual Fourth of July event outside of Clubhouse Two would not be affected by the resolution.
GRF passed the resolution as amended by majority vote. Modifications to holiday operating hours will begin in January.
Special accommodation policy
GRF passed a resolution that would waive or reduce guest fees for certain reciprocal or charitable events hosted by the Men’s 18-Hole Golf Club.
According to a staff report, the special accommodation would result in an $18,448 loss in revenue.
Board members noted that this fee waiver would be offset by the club’s annual contributions to the Foundation of Laguna Woods Village, which typically amounts upwards of $30,000.
Only three of six proposed events were approved for the special accommodation.
Tournaments waiving guests fees would include the Memorial Golf Tournament, Men’s Silver Senior Golf Team Matches and Laguna Woods Men’s Club Member/Guest Tournament, a staff report stated.
GRF approved the resolution by majority vote. The resolution must now satisfy a 28-day notification requirement.
Equestrian Center pricing policy
GRF voted in favor of a resolution that revises the Equestrian Center’s pricing policy, increasing shared community costs by 5% and reducing operational costs by $25,000.
Horse boarding fees will reduce from $319 to $249 per month as the shared community cost rises by $8, VMS CFO Betty Parker said during last month’s meeting.
The board approved the resolution by majority vote. All invoice amounts will change on June 1 for the remainder of the year, a staff report stated. | <urn:uuid:26f3a90c-a89d-43cf-b5fd-8accca061e0f> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://data-boy.net/news/press-releases/laguna-woods-village-golf-courses-will-reopen-monday-with-tennis-courts-to-follow/ | 2020-10-22T20:53:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880038.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20201022195658-20201022225658-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.958213 | 1,126 |
- Lt. Brian Rice was one of three bicycle officers who encountered Gray the day he was fatally injured
- Judge Barry Williams previously acquitted officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson
Baltimore police Lt. Brian Rice was one of the three bicycle officers who encountered Gray on April 12, 2015. Shortly thereafter, Gray suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody
Also Tuesday, Judge Barry Williams denied a motion by Rice's attorneys to dismiss the indictment, paving the way for the trial's opening statements to begin Thursday morning.
Rice faces several charges, including:
- Involuntary manslaughter
- Second-degree reckless assault/reckless endangerment
- One count of misconduct in office for allegedly arresting Gray without probable cause
- One count of misconduct in office for failing to secure Gray with a seat belt inside a police vehicle.
Same judge acquitted Nero, Goodson
With Rice choosing a bench trial, his case will be heard by Williams. The same judge acquitted Officer Edward Nero
and Officer Caesar Goodson on all charges related to Gray's death
Of the six officers charged, Goodson faced the most serious charges -- including second-degree depraved heart murder. Legal experts have said Goodson's acquittal could set the tone for the four officers still awaiting trial.
"It does not bode well for prosecution," CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos said.
Williams' verdict in Goodson's case "sends a message to the public and to the courts and the prosecution that if you can't convict beyond a reasonable doubt as to a high charge like murder, what does it say about lesser crimes?" | <urn:uuid:192f2723-8fab-41d6-a1e2-827420e5de64> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/05/us/baltimore-brian-rice-trial-freddie-gray/index.html | 2017-01-23T17:03:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282935.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00537-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956143 | 329 |
Solás: Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers -- by George Graham
(Shanachie 78010 As broadcast on WVIA-FM 6/4/97)
Ever since the great Potato Famine, just 150 years ago, brought waves of Irish immigrants to the US, the two countries have been close. Prominent Irish-Americans, including a couple of Presidents, attest to that. Naturally there have been lots of cultural and artistic ties. In recent years, there has been a great revival of interest in this country for traditional Irish and Celtic music, as opposed to the popular image of the music as being Irish tenors singing sentimental ballads or bunches of guys singing drinking songs.
The durable popularity of the Chieftains, along with more recent phenomena like the "Riverdance" production have awakened interest, and perhaps even been a new experience for some who claim Irish heritage. The jigs, reels, airs and other traditional music have been given new life by a generation of excellent Irish musicians whose recordings are gaining wider distribution in the US. And, there are increasing numbers of American players taking up the cause of Irish traditional music.
This week we have the second album by one of the finest young Irish or Celtic groups on the scene, and it reflects the proximity of the two countries. Solás can properly be called an Irish-American group, with members not only from both countries, but members who have lived in both countries. Their new CD is entitled Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers.
Last year, Solás released their dazzling eponymous debut that became one of the most acclaimed Irish music releases of the year. The 27-year old Philadelphia-born, Irish-bred Seamus Egan already had a considerable reputation when he began forming the band less than two years ago. He was a real prodigy, winning the All-Ireland music competition on no less than four different instruments, which no one had previously done. While still in his teens he recorded a debut solo album called Traditional Music of Ireland, and joined the Irish-American band from New York Chanting House, featuring Susan McKeown. In 1995 he created the score for the film The Brothers McMullen, released a pretty New Age-Irish effort called When Juniper Sleeps and even recorded some hip-hop with Living Colour's Vernon Reid.
The other members of Solás are the Irish-born vocalist Karan Casey, whose academic career included classical studies in Dublin and jazz in New York; fiddler Winifred Horan, who also comes from a classical background studying at the New England Conservatory of Music; guitarist John Doyle, also a founding member of Chanting House; and accordionist/keyboard player John Williams, an American-born player who also won All-Ireland competition titles four times.
Together they bring a combination of youthful enthusiasm, stunning instrumental virtuosity, and eclecticism without losing allegiance to the traditions. Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers continues their winning combination of traditional material with imaginative performances that capture all that is great about Irish music, while avoiding the Uillean bagpipes and scratchy fiddles that may turn some Celtic neophyte listeners off.
With Egan being such a multi-instrumentalist, playing pennywhistle, flute, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and the Irish bodhrán drum, Solás brings a lot of interesting sonic textures to bear, within the context of traditional music. But as they did on their last album, they also sneak a little synthesizer in on one track, which traditional groups from the other side of the Atlantic have been doing unapologetically for the past few years.
Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers follows a similar pattern as Solás' first album -- a majority of the material is traditional instrumental, with a variety of jigs and reels, along with one slow air, and six of the thirteen tracks featuring the superb vocals of Karan Casey, leaving many wishing more of the album were vocal.
The CD begins with The Wind That Shakes the Barley, one of the vocals, a traditional song about one of the various Irish political conflicts, in this case, the 1798 United Irishmen's uprising. The piece is a minor key, and the group's little rhythmic twists give the arrangement an occasional Eastern European flavor. The result is typical of Solás' remarkable musicianship. <<>>
The first of the instrumentals is a set of reels -- reels are the Irish tunes in a two-beat time, as opposed the six-beat rhythms of jigs. The three parts are called The Big Reel of Ballyncally, The High Hill, by a contemporary composer, Ed Reavy, and Flash Away the Pressing Gang. The pieces are nicely arranged with the slower reel in the middle, and the ending selection being especially strong. Egan is featured on the banjo prominently. <<>>
As on their debut album, Solás includes one piece sung in Irish. Aliliú Na Gamhna is a pretty song about a herdsman's daughter going about her job of milking the cows. <<>>
A good example of the group's eclecticism comes on another medley of reels, including Paddy Taylor's, McFadden's Handsome Daughter, The Narrowback, Frank's Reel and Esther's Reel. The first reel is given a subtly funky rhythmic approach <<>> before the group takes off into an irresistible Irish whirlwind. <<>>
This album is a sequel to Solás' debut in several ways, including covering some of the same song topics -- subjects that have made for good musical tales over the years. One such topic given a second approach is that of a sly robber. Last time it was The Newry Highwayman, about a kind of Robin Hood character. This album's scoundrel comes on the song, The Maid on the Shore, about a women who attracted the eye of sailors who pulled in their ship, and took her onboard. She plied her trade of singing to and then robbing the unsuspecting sailors. <<>>
Another of the vocal highlights is The Unquiet Grave. The unusual lyrics are about a young man communing with the ghost of his lover at her grave. <<>>
Of the two sets of jigs on this album, the more lively and engaging is a medley of traditional tunes, Tom Busky's, James O'Byrne's, and The Four Posts of the Bed. Again, the musicianship is breathtaking. <<>>
One of the most beautiful songs is a contemporary composition by singer-songwriter Sidney Carter called Vanished Like the Snow, about how often heroic women get written out of the history books. <<>>
The album ends with another traditional song on a topic covered on Solás' first album. Adieu Lovely Nancy is the story of a love affair riven by the young man's travelling exploits. On the last album, he was a soldier off to fight, while his true love offered to help. This time he is a sailor, and there is a similar offer. This time, though, she stays home and dies of a broken heart before the sailor can return. <<>>
Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers, the new second release by the Philadelphia-based Irish-American quintet Solás -- which by the way means "light" in Irish -- is another outstanding effort by arguably the finest young traditional Irish group on the scene. Their combination of appreciation for the traditions, balanced by a certain degree of stylistic adventurousness, and unquestioned virtuosic musicianship makes this album one that the growing number of Celtic music fans will not want to miss. The arrangement of the album with its mix of material ranging from reels to pretty songs, is also outstanding. But I suspect that there will be many who might wish for more of Ms. Casey's beautiful vocals.
This is very much a sequel to their self-titled debut album, with the same producer, Johnny Cunningham who did another outstanding job capturing the group's musicianship, and even some of the same song topics. I also have a similar sonic complaint about this CD as its predecessor -- too much audio compression in the mastering, robbing a lot of the dynamic range and expressiveness of the acoustic instruments.
With groups like Solás around, no one need worry about traditional Irish music dying out.
This is George Graham.

P: I can have a sensation of the body, more or less subtle, with the thought "I" and a feeling of being associated with it. But through the experience of these phenomena, I realize that what I feel like my sense of being is itself seen by a witness in the background. So a new sense of being appears. I feel it like a kind of impersonal void where the thought “me-I” disappears. What practical advice would you give to this stage of the investigation?
R: EXACTLY! This is what the process of inquiry is all about. The disappearance of the personalinto the impersonal void has revealed a new sense of being. Now you need to trace the source of this impersonal void too. It too has appeared from somewhere. Hasn't it? If there is a witnesser,there has to be an origin or source too. You need to stabilize in that impersonal void at regularintervals in meditation. The witnesser will surely be revealed as ones sadhana intensifies andmatures.
P: Again, if I can be aware of this void-witness, is it that there is still a witness to this experience? The problem here is that the mind tries always to join him, to take his place, but, it cannot. I can only quietly observe the thoughts that appear and disappear into the void. At this stage, the union with the witness depends more on grace,or is there still a possible attempt which can overcome the gap and merge with the witness?
R: There is always a witnesser as long as something is witnessed/known/experienced. Only the Absolute cannot be witnessed as it is not an object. Everything else is still an object. Every sortof knowingness or experience is false in the absolute sense but very relevant in the relative senseas they are important milestones which indicate progress. Therefore experience shouldn't beundervalued. Yes, the mind attempts to converge to an idea you already have or an experienceyou have held in memory. The mind doesn't give up easily. Unless the mind is completely annihilated it will always try to kick back as it wants to survive. Staying in the void is only atemporary solution as the mind hasn't died. It will come back after the
ortemporary abeyance of the mind) is over. One therefore needs to trace the origin or source of the void too from where the mind arises without paying much attention to the movements of themind and then stabilize at that background for a long time. Only this will lead to
(annihilation of the mind). Persistence and surrender are the key factors. When is Grace not there? Even to ask these questions is Grace, to answer them is Grace and toread and understand them is Grace. What can work without Grace? Rather than looking forGrace it is better to know how to Surrender. Through persistent effort and surrender aloneGrace is recognized. Both effort and surrender are needed.
P: There comes a point in the practice, the sadhaka understands that "me-I" cannot remember "I AM". "I AM" remembers and liberates, not the effort of "me-I 'to be free. I feel that the only virtue of the effort is to lead to failure, inability, to see what Nisargadatta called his "nothingness", and so then to renunciation and surrender.The only fact of seeing that I am not free (me-I, the body-mind), to see that "me-I" is conditioned, it is not in itself an act of liberation?
R: Effort means there is an ego who is continuously striving for something. Pure IAM and egocannot co-exist together. Its only when ego drops can IAM shine. True IAM is effortless yet tohave this realization one needs to put on loads of efforts. Why did Nisargadatta hold on to hisIAM for 3 years with complete perseverance? Why does Ramana emphasize effort in sadhana?Hence Initially there has to be effort even though effort by itself can never reveal the SELF. Youmake a very valid point that the only virtue of effort is to lead to failure. It humbles you.

The Cabinet Secretary has been asked to investigate the conduct of Brexit minister, Steve Baker, after an openDemocracy investigation revealed that he had undisclosed meetings with the European Research Group, an influential group of Conservative MPs who want a hard, no-deal exit from the European Union.
Baker, an arch Brexiteer, was chair of the ERG before being promoted last year into David Davis’s Department for Exiting the European Union. But the Tory minister continues to play a leading role in the ERG, attending private meetings of the anti-EU group in Westminster and corresponding regularly with ERG members, including current chairman, Jacob Rees-Mogg.
In contravention of ministerial rules, none of these meetings nor Baker’s correspondence with ERG MPs has been included in transparency records published by DExEU.
Through a sequence of Freedom of Information requests sent to DExEU, and in discussions held with senior Whitehall sources, openDemocracy has established how Baker avoided publicly disclosing his continuing links with the ERG by claiming his attendance at their private events “were not in his capacity as a minister” and therefore did not need to be listed in quarterly disclosures of relevant meetings.
At one ERG breakfast meeting held on October 17 last year in Terrace Dining Room C in Westminster, Baker was in the audience alongside twenty ERG MPs. The agenda of the meeting was ‘Reporting Brexit’.
A senior political journalist from a pro-Brexit newspaper gave a brief speech about his perceptions of the Brexit process so far. This was followed by a question-and-answer session. Baker did not speak but was described as “quietly attentive” by one attendee.
Also in attendance was Suella Braverman [née Fernandes] who chaired the ERG before being promoted in January this year to a ministerial role alongside Baker at DExEU. Braverman last year gave an embarrassing interview to Channel 4 News where she claimed the membership list of the ERG was publicly available, but then refused to give any details, effectively saying the make up of the ERG was known only to its members.

Baker’s appearance at this meeting was not disclosed as part of DExEU’s routine transparency obligations. Although the gathering was titled ‘Reporting Brexit’ and therefore clearly part of Baker’s ministerial territory, his officials nevertheless said he had not been attending “in his capacity as a DExEu minister.”
Within a few days of the ERG breakfast, there were renewed media reports that Theresa May needed to do more planning for a “no deal” Brexit.
Of other events hosted by ERG over the last 18 months, DExEU would only confirm Baker had not attended as a “minister”.
Officials also confirmed they held correspondence between Baker and MPs known to be members of the ERG. The department said the exchanges were private and did not have be disclosed, but insisted they were committed to transparency “wherever possible.”
Last year openDemocracy revealed that more than £250,000 of public money was being used to fund the ERG, an 80-strong private caucus of Tory MPs that is widely regarded as a party-within-a-party.
Baker is acknowledged as the ideologically-driven MP who turned the ERG from being an ignored backbench talking shop into a formidable group demanding a complete break with Europe and an end to what he called “the EU’s despotism”. They have also been described as holding Theresa May hostage over any attempts to water down Brexit.
When Baker became a DExEu minister after the 2017 general election, the chair role was passed to Suella Braverman, an inexperienced MP. When she was promoted, Jacob Rees-Mogg took over. However, Baker is still regarded by many in the ERG as its behind-the-scenes driving force, with Rees-Mogg merely an effective public face.
“This isn’t just a bend or a twist of the rules of the game. This is ignoring an established code.”
Ben Bradshaw, the former Culture Secretary in Gordon Brown’s Labour government, who has raised previous concerns about Baker, has written to Cabinet Secretary, Jeremy Heywood, and to the permanent secretary at DExEU, Philip Rycroft, for an explanation.
Bradshaw told openDemocracy: “I wrote and tabled parliamentary questions for months about undisclosed meetings Mr Baker held with the controversial hard Brexit lobbying organisation, Legatum, which he failed to answer, only for it to be revealed that he indeed had numerous meetings with this organisation which he had not declared.”
Some Whitehall officials with knowledge of Baker’s movements and political associations are also “unhappy” about how the ministerial code is being applied inside Davis’s department. One told openDemocracy: “This isn’t just a bend or a twist of the rules of the game. This is ignoring an established code.”
Ministerial rules forbid membership of parliamentary groups, or the offer of formal support to pressure groups dependent on government funding. If a minister is discussing government business without an official being present, this has to be disclosed by their department.
The Labour MP Ian Murray, a leading supporter of the People’s Vote campaign to hold a second referendum on the final Brexit deal between the UK and the EU, told openDemocracy: “Steve Baker’s behaviour raises serious questions about his conduct as a minister and reveals the political chaos and factionalism at the heart of the Government.”
Murray said that although Baker was taking a ministerial salary, he seemed to be playing factional games using public money. “It is remarkable that the Prime Minister lets this behaviour carry on. She is so politically trapped that she won’t act even when ministers are playing fast and loose with collective responsibility.”
The Labour MP Ben Bradshaw's letter to Philip Rycroft, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Exiting the European Union.
Last month it emerged that Baker held undisclosed meetings with Shankar Singham, the former Washington lobbyist who reinvented himself as a trade economist and until recently ran a trade unit at the Legatum Institute.
Singham is now director of the international trade and competition unit at the Institute for Economic Affairs. He has said that a UK free of all trade ties with the EU could help boost the world economy by $2 trillion over the next 15 years. Many economists disagree.
Despite transparency rules intended to reveal who Baker, as a minister, was talking to, Buzzfeed reported that Baker and Singham had a number of meetings at Legatum’s Mayfair offices. DExEU claim Baker and Singham have been friends since the Brexit referendum in 2016 and as such their meetings have been ‘social’ and therefore outside disclosure regulations.
Baker is the only MP registered as having accepted a donation from the Constitutional Research Council, the shadowy group that gave the DUP’s Brexit campaign more than £425,000. In December 2016, the CRC gave Baker £6,500 to “fund hospitality for ERG members and their staff” at a pre-Christmas event.

Originally, I was not going to make a blog post just for my day of traveling. However, there were a couple things I thought were worth sharing. For starters, I was trying to board the first plane, but the lady at the gate was telling […]
- Make sure you check that you have your passport at least six-months in advance before traveling out of the country.
- Toiletries- toothbrush, razor, facewash, brush, makeup, etc.
- Medications- pack all meds and vitamins on carryon bag!!
- Clothes- look up weather for that time of year AND what the weather is in Australia while packing
- Extras- small umbrella, pillow case, sunglasses, hats, backpack, camera, etc.
- Make currency exchange several weeks prior to departure as it must be ordered
- Personal opinion- take more cash than you think you will need
- Once arrived in Australia, split the cash you have into several places
- Example: wallet/purse, backpack, suitcase, and safe in room if available
If you invest early in a second home, your vacations in the future will be so much cheaper. That I promise! What I love about this posts is as long as you have a steady income, you have the possibility to own a second home. Work on paying off your first mortgage. Once you have enough equity on your house or condo, refinance. You then will have enough cash to make a down payment on a second home, which you then will rent out. Try to put down enough cash so that all your rentals should cover your yearly expenses for that second home. It might take a lot of extra hours or hard work to get to the point of owning that second home, but trust me, it’s worth it.
Notice throughout the first part of this post I use the word home. Not house, but home. Your second property does not have to be a house. Condos are sufficient and are sometimes preferable. You can choose between beach houses, mountain houses, lake houses, condos near a beach or in a touristy city. Any place that you can call yours, meaning you pay the bills, is your home.
When having a second home, you are not only saving money in the long run, but you should be proud that where you are staying is considered yours. This in the end is building up your assets, thus, providing you with more in the end. If you are planning on having children, they will enjoy this second home like no other. They will probably enjoy it more than the house or condo they would live in. This is their vacation and because you own it, you should be able to afford to take them more than if you had to rent a place out. | <urn:uuid:fe3dccc9-feb7-49db-af60-f977fc1b568c> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://theeverydayperson.com/ | 2019-01-18T20:13:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583660529.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190118193139-20190118215139-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.974224 | 568 |
Helen Stead shows us a genius – and surprisingly simple – way to make your Lomographic prints even more beautiful!
You will need:
- Inkjet Printer
- A sheet of A4 Mulberry or Handmade Paper
- Glue Stick
- Printer Paper
Why I love it:
One of the best things about shooting with a Lomo camera is sometimes not the subject of the photograph but the mood or atmosphere is captures with its quirky features: light leaks and dreamy imagery. I’ve found that printing on to mulberry paper preserves the magical essence of the lomo image and the delicate and soft texture of the paper produces a much more ethereal quality as opposed to printing on to regular glossy photo paper.
Another great thing about this technique is that anybody can do it!
Firstly scan your image into the computer and save it as a digital file.
Next, using a glue stick lightly glue a piece of normal printer paper to the back of your A4 mulberry or handmade paper (Both work nicely)
Print the image as you would normally but so that it prints on to the sheet of mulberry paper.
And lastly carefully peel the backing paper off and you will be left with your image on a lovely semi translucent sheet of mulberry paper. If you’re feeling really adventurous you could even add stitch or use it as part of a college. I also really like layering images or text underneath it to add another element to the piece. The possibilities are endless!
Experiment and have fun experimenting with printing your photographs on to different surfaces! | <urn:uuid:6a2e7c2e-4f7a-42c9-8b78-8c253799ce3a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.alternativephotography.com/mulberry-paper-and-lomographs/ | 2022-09-30T16:41:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335491.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930145518-20220930175518-00632.warc.gz | en | 0.916298 | 334 |

If you're looking for a simple side dish to make for a holiday celebration or to enjoy with family or friends at home, then consider cheese and crackers. There are numerous ways to make cheese and cracker platters depending on the event and how many people you plan to serve. Try to use a platter that coordinates with the event to complete the ensemble, such as a green or red platter for Christmas or one with a bunny or eggs for Easter. You can also find platters that have divisions to make it easier to keep the crackers and the cheese separate.
Before getting any of the supplies, you need to think about how many people will be at the event. Cheese doesn't usually last as long as other foods once it's taken out of the package. You should also think about whether you're going to serve the platter before or after a meal. If you're only serving appetizers, then you might want to consider a fruit or vegetable tray as well as a meat tray for sandwiches. Take a look at a grocery store to see what kind of cheeses are offered. There might be some that you want to leave off of your platter because of their taste or even their smell. Try to include a few different flavors to suit everyone's desires as well as a few different types of crackers. Three to five different kinds of cheese is usually enough for even a large crowd as long as you get enough slices. You can also get blocks of cheese to cut into small cubes.
An option to consider would be to order a platter from a store or from a company that specializes in creating them. You should try to limit the number of rich cheeses that you serve if you're having dinner. However, if there are only appetizers, then serve a combination of textures as well as those that are made with different kinds of milk.

A Turkish journalist who denied the existence of COVID-19 and opposed vaccinations for it recently has died of the virus, Turkish media outlets reported on Monday.
Erol Kes, owner of the Son Nokta news website, based in the western province of Denizli, had been posting messages against the COVID-19 vaccination on Twitter. “I don’t believe in the existence of COVID, and I don’t believe the test results, either,” he said.
An anti-vaxxer, Kes argued on social media that the novel coronavirus was a sham and that the vaccination against it was a hoax.
“Erol Kes, who had worked as a journalist in Denizli for many years, has recently contracted the coronavirus. Upon deterioration of his health on September 10, he was taken to intensive care. Today, we received news of his death,” wrote Denizli Son Nokta.
The growing anti-vaccine sentiment in Turkey culminated in a gathering in İstanbul on Sept. 11 with the participation pro-government figures and even physicians.
The anti-vaccination group in Turkey refers to the coronavirus pandemic as a “plan-demic,” suggesting that there is a secret plan behind the pandemic.
As of Sunday, Turkey had administered around 105.1 million vaccines against COVID-19, with some 52.7 million people receiving one dose, about 42 million receiving two doses and 9.8 million receiving a third, according to Health Ministry data. | <urn:uuid:97f162ea-2c33-49d8-b030-e03554bffe6b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.turkishminute.com/2021/09/20/ti-vaxxer-journalist-who-denied-existence-of-covid-dies-of-virus/ | 2021-10-28T02:26:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588246.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028003812-20211028033812-00089.warc.gz | en | 0.982694 | 326 |

Subway Passes McDonald's - Subway sandwich chain has surpassed McDonald's Corp. as the world's largest restaurant chain -
It's official: the Subway sandwich chain has surpassed McDonald's Corp. as the world's largest restaurant chain, in terms of units.
At the end of last year, Subway had 33,749 restaurants worldwide, compared to McDonald's 32,737. The burger giant disclosed its year-end store count in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing late last month.
The race for global dominance is an important one for an industry that's mostly saturated in the U.S. High unemployment and economic uncertainty have battered the restaurant industry in the U.S., and chains are increasingly looking overseas for growth, particularly in Asia.
Starbucks Corp. recently said it plans to triple its number of outlets in China, for example. Dunkin' Brands Inc., parent of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, plans to open thousands of new outlets in China in coming years as well as its first stores in Vietnam in the next 18 months. Subway just opened its 1,000th location in Asia, including its first in VieSubway, which opened its first international restaurant in 1984, in Bahrain, expects its number of international restaurants to exceed its domestic ones by 2020, says Don Fertman, Subway's Chief Development Officer. The chain currently has just over 24,000 restaurants in the U.S., where it generated $10.5 billion of its $15.2 billion in revenue last year.
The closely held company, owned by Doctor's Associates Inc., does not disclose its profits.
McDonald's is still the leader when it comes to sales. The burger chain reported $24 billion in revenue last year. "We remain focused on listening to and serving our customers, and are committed to being better, not just bigger," a McDonald's spokeswoman says.
Subway, which surpassed the number of McDonald's in the U.S. about nine years ago, expects China to eventually become one of its largest markets. The sandwich shop only has 199 restaurants in China now, but expects to have more than 500 by 2015. | <urn:uuid:0b3df820-f893-49e3-8118-2079de81f3c6> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://xiam007.blogspot.ca/2011_03_07_archive.html | 2015-08-05T10:23:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438044160065.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728004240-00162-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965473 | 442 |

Hunger in Moose Jaw staff and volunteers have had company the last few weeks, with contrctors and volunteers giving a helping hand in repairs and renovations to the Hunger in Moose Jaw site at 269 Stadacona St. West.
269 Stadacona St. West was a hive of activity on Friday. One group was busily preparing over 170 lunches, while another was working away on construction and repair.
Hunger in Moose Jaw (HIMJ) is getting a makeover courtesy of the Mosaic Belle Plaine plant employees.
Mosaic workflow superintendent, Rob Bonneau and carpenter planner Ed Konihowski took it upon themselves to make Hunger in Moose Jaw’s aging building safer and more suitable for employees and clients.
“What happened was about two months ago we had a leadership forum with Mosaic people from different sites who got together for reviewing and team building,” Bonneau told the Times-Herald. “People were split up into different projects and some volunteered at Hunger in Moose Jaw and said ‘we should try to do more.’”
With help from the Moose Jaw business community, Mosaic employees loaned their time and skill to co-ordinate with local contractors to update the electrical wiring, install new interior, exterior and safety lighting, remodel the front and back entrances and pour new concrete sidewalks. These were just some of the repairs made by the good Samaritans.
“Our main goal was to get their working conditions improved and make Hunger in Moose Jaw a safer work environment,” Bonneau said. “We wanted a more functional curb for deliveries and there were water issues in the basement in need of repair.”
“Rob said, ‘we just want everyone to have a safe place to work,’” HIMJ executive director, Carol Acton said about the initial planning with Bonneau. “Some people said it couldn’t be done, but we’re just overwhelmed by the support we’ve gotten from Mosaic. There doesn’t seem to be anything they can’t do.”
Acton mentioned along with interior and exterior repairs, the children’s playground was also repaired along with stairs and railings around the building.

This book for architects, interior designers, building managers, students, conference organisers looks at first principles to provide the user with the 'tools' to make their own decisions rather than a 'cookbook' approach. It is intended that designs and product information can be taken straight from the manual and inserted into ongoing projects.
For the first time the book considers the needs of people with visual, hearing and mental disabilities, who make up the majority of disabled people in the population, alongside those of people with physical mobility disabilities. Practical low cost solutions to retro-fitting existing buildings are discussed, as well as the methods used to assess the suitability of an existing building, and assembling a project to improve access for disabled people. Specific products and designs are illustrated and discussed - with full working technical drawings, and full specification details. These will reduce considerably the research time needed to produce a cost-effective solution that will improve access for disabled people. A perspective of the standards and legislation dealing with access issues in the UK is compared with those in other countries, and the standards mentioned are compared with the realities of practical implementation carried out in 4 years of design in this area.
'The needs of disabled people in new and existing buildings is increasingly
recognised and makes this publication highly opportune. It provides first
class practical and cost effective detailed guidance on the layout and
equipment of buildings to meet the needs of a variety of disabilities.
The book contains excellent illustrations showing how the requirements
can be satisfactorily met.'
ASI Journal, July 1996
'James Holmes-Siedle has a distinguished record in adapting buildings,
some of them 'listed', to ensure that they are fully accessible to people

Tips, Tricks, Caveats
Like all devices derived from the Allwinner A10 reference board, this device does not have DDC support on its VGA connector, even though its connector is blue.
Forget it. There seems to be no USB device or OTG port available, so our lack of any buttons apart from power is not the only stumbling block to get to FEL mode.
Adding a serial port (voids warranty)
The UART is easy to spot on the mainboard and just needs some jumperwires soldered on.
This set-top-box is trivially disassembled by removing some screws.
Locating the UART
The uart pads are located between the power-button and the ram chips. The top pin is Vcc and should not be connected. The bottom pin is obviously ground. The second pin from the top is TX. Just solder on some wires and attach a UART-USB module as described in our UART howto.
Also known as
This device carries a big "tvpad3" logo on the top, but there are no known clones so far. | <urn:uuid:8b0b4ff1-742f-4ea9-8ed8-87aa5d3864f9> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://linux-sunxi.org/Hcore_hc860 | 2023-11-29T01:10:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100047.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129010302-20231129040302-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.829028 | 516 |

Furyk wins RBC Heritage in playoff over Kisner
(Reuters) - Jim Furyk ended a five-year PGA Tour victory drought with a birdie on the second playoff hole to beat fellow American Kevin Kisner for the RBC Heritage title on Sunday in South Carolina.
"I've let so many slide by," Furyk said about his long wait to hoist another tour trophy. "I really dug deep today and glad I got it done."
Furyk, the 2010 winner at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, fired an eight-under-par 63 for an 18-under total and Kisner used a birdie at the last to complete a 64 and force the sudden death playoff.
Both players birdied the first playoff hole, the par-four 18th, and moved on to the par-three 17th.
Furyk knocked his tee shot to 12 feet, and after Kisner missed his 20-footer for birdie, the 44-year-old tour veteran curled in his downhill putt to claim his 17th career PGA title and first since the 2010 Tour Championship.
Furyk sizzled on the first nine with four birdies in a row as he carded six-under 30. After his lone bogey of the day at the par-four 11th, he birdied three of the next four to charge up the leaderboard.
Kisner, 31, twice a winner on the Web.com tour, was looking for his first PGA Tour win, with his best result a tie for fourth this season at The McGladrey Classic.
The South Carolina native eagled the par-five second and added five birdies in a bogey-free round.
"I'm proud of the way I handled it. I gave myself chances," said Kisner, ranked 257th. "I'll live with that and try to win next week."

Custom CMS vs Open Source CMS
Choosing a custom CMS vs. open source CMS is one of the most important decisions a business can make regarding its website. Content management systems are not one-size-fits-all technologies, and there is no “right” answer when selecting a custom or open source platform. To determine the best option for your business, first you must understand what each CMS alternative has to offer, and what your team needs from a CMS solution.
Overview of Custom CMS vs. Open Source CMS
There are a number of differences between custom and open source content management systems.
In an open source CMS, such as WordPress, Drupal or Joomla!, the platform’s underlying code is publicly available and editable. Open source solutions can be redistributed, copied and modified for a number of applications. These systems are frequently updated by the broader online community, which can freely patch glitches in the software and add new features.
A custom CMS is a proprietary solution that’s created exclusively for one company or use case. With a custom CMS, your business (or the service firm that built it) has control over the platform’s functionality, interface and updates. With custom solutions, the system’s workflow, design and usability can be tailored to any business or department’s specific needs.
Custom CMS vs. Open Source CMS: How to Choose
There are a number of factors that impact the decision to go with a custom or open source CMS. Here are a few points to consider when navigating that choice for your firm:
- In-house IT resources: Open source CMS platforms provide infinite possibilities for adding new layers of functionality, but making these changes requires a high level of development expertise that some businesses don’t have in-house. When choosing a CMS, it’s important to honestly evaluate whether or not your company has the resources to make the most of an open source platform.
- User profiles: The roles and needs of your company’s primary CMS users should play a large role in the selection of your CMS platform. Certain types of CMS are too technical for marketers to manage on their own, forcing them to rely on IT staff to help with coding, uploading and editing content. If your marketing team can’t manage the CMS without external support, your time to market for new content campaigns might slow down dramatically.
- Budget: As with most major technology purchases, cost can be a determining factor in choosing a CMS. Open source CMS alternatives are often available at no or low cost, but companies that rely on them may end up investing more in IT staffing or third party development support to modify and expand the system later on. The upfront cost of a custom CMS varies depending on whether it’s built in-house or by a service firm, but the increased control over the platform may reduce maintenance expenses over time.
Next Steps for Selecting a Custom CMS vs. Open Source CMS
Making the right choice between custom CMS vs. open source CMS begins with doing your homework. Assessing your current and future business goals, along with your internal resources, will ultimately inform this major decision.

An article of clothing used as an acessory to the modern day bowfisher to help them from sucking in bugs as they breathe. Most people who wear these bandana like pieces are better known as mouthbreathers and it is to be expected for them to group together and try to appear stronger than normal when provoked into "Defense" mode.
Little Tommy thought that he needed to wear a Hoorag to prevent bugs from entering his mouth while bowfishing. Once his daddy slapped him in the mouth and his lips swole shut, he soon realized that this was a silly marketing ploy to help some nobody try and be a somebody.

Surely not. But yes, today I was walking down East 78th street between 1st and 2nd Avenue and found a new (to me) bakery called Orwashers. Sitting in their window was the biggest, fattest doughnut ever. Is that a jelly (err, jam) doughnut I ask? Why yes, but you can choose what flavour you want inside. And there on the blackboard was a list of jam flavours and some enormous syringes.
Curious I said I’d have one (and because I love doughnuts) and she proceeded to stab the fat doughnut with a large pair of scissors before injecting the doughnut with a vast amount of jam. Oh my.
I carried it home very carefully, cut it into four and shared with J and E (R will have to wait, if he’s lucky, his quarter will survive in the fridge until this evening). The verdict? It was lovely. E liked it so much she licked the plate clean (urgh). Not enough though. Given you can get an entire jam doughnut from Dunkin’ for a dollar, it’s a bit expensive but for an extravagant treat I may return and I won’t be sharing it.

If you’re one of the greatest living architects looking for a photographer to document your masterworks, you’re going to need someone who’s very good with their camera indeed. Having invested countless millions into a luxury building project nothing less than perfection will suffice; which is where Hélène Binet comes in. She’s photographed the buildings of innumerable great architects, from Le Corbusier and David Chipperfield to Alvar Aalto and Zaha Hadid.
Her relationship with Hadid is probably the most longstanding, having documented her structures from the early 1990s, and the relationships she’s developed with these buildings afford the most striking photographs of all. Renowned for her dramatic architecture, Hadid’s trademark curves cut swathes through Hélène’s images creating a rich chiaroscuro that emphasises the buildings’ power. It’s a remarkably apt pairing and one that we hope develops as Hadid continues to prosper.
There may have been discussion recently about architecture’s reduction to pure aesthetic imagery but surely there’s nothing wrong with photographing remarkable buildings with exceptional skill – at least not in our eyes.

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, an organization that was founded by former Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from left-wing financier George Soros, is waging a public campaign against President Trump’s executive orders suspending entry from seven terror-prone countries.
Emails published by WikiLeaks last fall reveal Podesta talking about using the organization to pull the Catholic Church in a liberal direction. Sandy Newman, president of left-wing organization Voices for Progress, asked Podesta about creating a “Catholic Spring” in order to undermine Church teaching on contraception. “We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this,” Podesta replied.(emailid/6293)

We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a

Kennedy Townsend is the other person to consult.
Out of curiosity once he dies does he have an apprentice, a Darth Vader waiting to pick up where he left off?
At this rate we should ask ourselves is there a "progressive group" that has no ties with George Soros and/or is funded by him?

In the U.S., every year there are about three billion pizzas sold. I have to admit that many of those were probably delivered to my household.
Pizza has been my addiction and favorite food for years. I can picture it now: spicy pepperoni, gooey mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce on a thick pizza crust. Is there anything that tastes better?
The main ingredients in pizza are considered staples in a standard American diet—wheat or gluten and cow’s dairy, which contains the protein casein.
Many people cannot enjoy a slice of pizza or other foods containing gluten or casein, which can lead to digestive, autoimmune, and neurological issues. But it turns out that these foods could be even worse for you—they could be altering your gene expression.
Study Says: Casein and Gluten Harm Your Body
There was a study published earlier this year in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. It suggested that the opioid peptides in casein and gluten interfered with antioxidant status, increased inflammation and systemic oxidative stress, and changed gene (DNA) expression, all of which can lead to degenerative diseases or imbalances in the body.
After you enjoy your pizza, the digestion of wheat and dairy releases gluten and casein peptides, which reduce the uptake of the amino acid cysteine. The antioxidant glutathione is often lower in people with neurological disorders, such as autism, and glutathione cannot synthesize without cysteine. (Environmental exposure to heavy metals is also known to deplete glutathione levels.) A diet high in casein and gluten therefore adds to the toxic environment in your body.
The study also found that a protein in gluten, gliadin, and casein, down-regulate cysteine uptake by releasing proline-rich, opioid active peptides. This occurs in gastrointestinal and neuronal cells in the human body. S-adenosylmethionine levels are also known to be low during the digestion of gluten and casein, which can cause methylation interference and lead to several diseases, including cancer.
The role food plays in gene expression is interesting. Not only can food act as a medicine or poison, but it can also provide information to genes at a molecular level. When we consume foods such as dairy, wheat, and genetically modified products, the information in our genes may change as well.
What Should You Eat?
The elimination of wheat and dairy can be a difficult task because they are foods we depend on when following the standard American diet—staples include cereal with milk, sandwiches with cheese, macaroni and cheese, and, of course, pizza.
But as the study suggests, you could benefit from a diet free of casein and gluten. So what should you eat instead?
A positive transition from gluten foods includes gluten-free grains such as quinoa, wild rice, brown rice, amaranth, or millet. I recommend the whole food approach to eating, which is similar to the paleo diet or anti-fungal/anti-candida diet.
If taking this approach, here are some foods you can incorporate into your daily diet:
- Plenty of green leafy vegetables: kale, parsley, spinach, arugula, and dandelion
- Other nutrient-dense veggies: carrots, celery, cauliflower, and broccoli
- Some fruits: apples, blueberries, and lots of avocado
- Nuts, seeds, and nut and seed butters: almonds, pumpkin seeds, and Brazil nuts
- Organic and grass-fed animal products: eggs, beef, chicken, and wild fish
- Legumes: black beans, adzuki beans, and chickpeas
- Herbal teas
You may be surprised how your health improves after you cut out your gluten and casein addictions. Could you give up your pizza night for a lifetime of better health?

Under Penal Code 17(b) PC, felony reductions to misdemeanors are available defendants
- are convicted of “wobbler” crimes as felonies, and
- are sentenced to and complete felony probation for the offense.
In California, it is required that both of these elements be satisfied in order to reduce your felony conviction to a misdemeanor. If you were convicted of an offense that is considered a “wobbler” offense but served time in state prison, you are ineligible for relief under Penal Code 17(b).
What is Penal Code § 17?
(a)A felony is a crime which is punishable with death or by imprisonment in the state prison. Every other crime or public offense is a misdemeanor except those offenses that are classified as infractions.
(b)When a crime is punishable, in the discretion of the court, by imprisonment in the state prison or by fine or imprisonment in the county jail, it is a misdemeanor for all purposes under the following circumstances:
(1)After a judgment imposing a punishment other than imprisonment in the state prison.
(2)When the court, upon committing the defendant to the Youth Authority, designates the offense to be a misdemeanor.
(3)When the court grants probation to a defendant without imposition of sentence and at the time of granting probation, or on application of the defendant or probation officer thereafter, the court declares the offense to be a misdemeanor.
(4)When the prosecuting attorney files in a court having jurisdiction over misdemeanor offenses a complaint specifying that the offense is a misdemeanor, unless the defendant at the time of his or her arraignment or plea objects to the offense being made a misdemeanor, in which event the complaint shall be amended to charge the felony and the case shall proceed on the felony complaint.
(5)When, at or before the preliminary examination or prior to filing an order pursuant to Section 872, the magistrate determines that the offense is a misdemeanor, in which event the case shall proceed as if the defendant had been arraigned on a misdemeanor complaint.
(c)When a defendant is committed to the Youth Authority for a crime punishable, in the discretion of the court, by imprisonment in the state prison or by fine or imprisonment in the county jail, the offense shall, upon the discharge of the defendant from the Youth Authority, thereafter be deemed a misdemeanor for all purposes.
(d)A violation of any code section listed in Section 19.8 is an infraction subject to the procedures described in Sections 19.6 and 19.7 when:
(1)The prosecutor files a complaint charging the offense as an infraction unless the defendant, at the time he or she is arraigned, after being informed of his or her rights, elects to have the case proceed as a misdemeanor, or;
(2)The court, with the consent of the defendant, determines that the offense is an infraction in which event the case shall proceed as if the defendant had been arraigned on an infraction complaint.
(e)Nothing in this section authorizes a judge to relieve a defendant of the duty to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290 if the defendant is charged with an offense for which registration as a sex offender is required pursuant to Section 290, and for which the trier of fact has found the defendant guilty.
Examples of Wobble Offenses
- Penal Code 422 PC California’s criminal threats
- Penal Code 273.5 PC California’s spousal battery
- Penal Code 459 PC California’s burglary
- Penal Code 243.4 PC sexual battery
- Penal Code 245(a)(1) PC California’s assault with a deadly weapon

- Penal Code 192(c)(1) Vehicular manslaughter, w/o drugs or alcohol, but w/gross neg
- Penal Code 549 Soliciting fraudulent insurance claims
- Penal Code 487(1) Grand theft
What Are Your Chances That Court Will Reduce the Felony to a Misdemeanor?

- Facts surrounding the case;
- The Nature of the offense;

Longs Chapel was built circa 1871 by local landowner Jacob
Long, a member of the Church of the United Brethren in
Christ who had opposed slavery, in accord with his church. The
chapel was erected on land near to where "a congregation" of
African Americans already were living on the site of a former
plantation. The United Brethren church acquired the Longs Chapel tract in 1869 for
the area's black community and specifically deeded
it "for the purpose of a church, burial ground, and school
Soon after the chapel's construction, African-American
those persons formerly enslaved, clustered in the vicinty of Longs Chapel.
Eventually the community, originally named Old Athens but
Zenda, grew to 17 households of 80 people by 1900,
with a post office and general store. It thrived
for many years, but by about 1930 Zenda was largely abandoned
residents had either died or relocated to other
places, including nearby Harrisonburg
as well as points beyond the central Shenandoah Valley.
By the turn of the 21st century, the only vestiges of the
Reconstruction-era Zenda community were its nearly vanished chapel and an overgrown graveyard behind the building.

Personal Tax Problems
Is the IRS taking aggressive action to collect on a debt they say you owe them?
When a taxpayer has a tax debt, the IRS will use every weapon in their arsenal if the taxpayer does not make payment arrangements to satisfy their debt. There are some tax problems that can easily be handled with a phone call to the IRS, but once a tax debt reached a certain amount, the taxpayers often do not have the ability to pay what the IRS demands, and this is where the IRS can become very aggressive.” The IRS may use enforced collection actions against a taxpayer in order to recover a debt. This can almost always be devastating to a taxpayer’s finances, household, and overall livelihood. The collection action includes the problems below. | <urn:uuid:3556d8c9-c7c0-432b-af16-a4b6d925cd4c> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://justice.tax/personal-tax-problems/ | 2020-11-29T09:59:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141197593.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20201129093434-20201129123434-00223.warc.gz | en | 0.956911 | 153 |
Prepare machines for remote installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 5 components
- If you are running Windows 10, disable User Account Control (UAC) or enable and use the built-in administrator.
- If you are running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 and you are not in domain environment, disable User Account Control (UAC) on the machine:
- If you are running Windows XP, disable the following option on the machine:
Control panel -> Folder options -> View -> Use simple file sharing
- File and Printer Sharing must be enabled on the remote machine:
- Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server: Control panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions -> File and Printer Sharing
- Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 Windows 7, Windows 8: Control panel -> Windows Firewall -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change advanced sharing settings
- Acronis Snap Deploy 5 uses TCP ports 445 and 25001 for remote installation. Make sure that these ports are added to exceptions in the firewall settings on the remote machines. TCP port 445 is added to exceptions automatically by Windows Firewall when you enable File and Printer Sharing.

Dear Lacrosse Community,
it was not easy making this decision, but we cancel the Berlin Open 2020 due to the current situation with COVID-19.
It is a worldwide pandemic and Berlin Open is an international tournament with teams and referees from all over the globe. We can’t predict what kind of situation we will have in July, however the health of each individual is more important than everything else. That is why we think it is the best for all of us to cancel this year’s Berlin Open Lacrosse tournament. In addition to that, it is currently not possible to book hotel rooms in Berlin, booked rooms for referees were cancelled from the hotel and it is currently just not possible for us to prepare a large tournament like this. We really hope that this message comes early enough that you can still cancel flights and accommodation, if already booked.
We are sorry and so sad not meeting you this summer, not seeing great Lacrosse games, not drinking some beers with you, not having a great weekend with people from all over the world. But we will be back in 2021 and hope to see you then.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay healthy and stay home!

The Federal Aviation Administration announced in a Friday news release that it would delay the closures of all 149 federal contract air traffic control towers until June 15.
Originally, the FAA was going to start tower closures April 7 and Columbia Regional Airport's control tower was scheduled to close May 5.
The delay will allow the FAA to resolve multiple legal challenges to the closure decisions.
Multiple stakeholders, including City Manager Mike Matthes, Mayor Bob McDavid, Columbia Chamber of Commerce President Matt McCormick and Boone County Commissioner Karen Miller, met with FAA officials in Kansas City on Sunday to discuss the air tower closure as well as airport terminal improvements.
Airport Manager Don Elliott has been contacting Midwest Air Traffic Control and the Missouri Department of Transportation to gather costs of keeping the tower functioning and find possible alternative funding methods for the tower, Columbia Public Works spokesman Steven Sapp said.
Public Works will submit a report to City Council by April 15 regarding air tower costs and possible funding solutions.
"There is potential that there could be some funding locally," Sapp said. "Everything is very preliminary so there isn't much concrete information yet."
If the tower ceases operations, flights arriving and departing from Columbia Regional Airport will receive traffic control from Mizzou Approach in Springfield. If for some reason Mizzou Approach cannot provide services, air traffic control in Kansas City will take over Columbia flights, Sapp said.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. toured Columbia Regional Airport on Friday to speak with local officials and show support for finding a solution to the air tower closure.
Blunt co-sponsored an amendment with Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., that intends to stop the FAA from closing control towers.
The funding cuts are part of the FAA's sequestration implementation plan to counter budget sequestration in Washington, D.C. The FAA planned to reduce expenditures by roughly $600 million for the rest of the fiscal year. | <urn:uuid:af6010f1-be66-47d2-9f73-f012ab4ccab5> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.themaneater.com/stories/2013/4/9/faa-delays-closure-air-traffic-control-towers/ | 2013-12-09T22:24:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164000853/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133320-00098-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945896 | 387 |

Building your career plan and drafting an MBA career goals essay
FREE My Career Goals Essay - Example Essays
This is the standard career goals essay question asked by many schools. It is important that you clearly articulate what your career goals are in the short term with some level of specificity. I generally like my clients to be able to articulate what industry, function, role, and platform / specialization they see themselves engaging immediately upon graduation. Your short term career goals should connect to (or feed into) your long term career goals. When specifying your long term career goals, you can offer up less detail, but you should still have a sense of direction. And, the most important point is that it all fits together – meaning your current work has led you to your short term career goals, which in turn feeds into your long term career goals.

Poliomyelitis is an ancient disease and has been one of the most dreaded since pre-biblical times. 4000 year-old Egyptian carvings show a typical polio withered leg.
Before the 1900's, polio was endemic and most polio occurred in infants, hence the name "infantile paralysis". Few developed paralysis and poor hygiene meant that most people were exposed to the virus early in life, thus building active immunity. In fact, everyone had polio, just as we all had measles, mumps and chicken pox.
Polio is a gastro virus ie "a tummy wog". 95% of people were not even aware that they had had polio, having no symptoms or just a 'flu-like illness. The other 5% had either weakness or some paralysis. Only 2.5% were left with any visible effects from polio. The mortality rate is 3% of known polio cases ie 15 in 10,000 pop.
The first recorded "epidemics" were around 1916. Fear swept communities. Hospitals ran out of room. In NZ, patients were nursed in tents in the hospital grounds. Probably in other parts of the world too. Sporadic isolated cases were the norm until 1937-38 when again there was a major outbreak. In post-World War 2 years, epidemics escalated until the Salk vaccine was available in 1956. By the 1950's equal numbers of adults as children were contracting polio. Polio had become a disease of cleanliness. It affected the more affluent people and at an older age was more severe in its paralysis.
Polio is a picornavirus (pico = small; rna = RNA, part of cell nucleus). Rhinovirus belongs to the same family and causes colds. It replicates best at temperatures of 33O as found in the nose. Enteroviruses, which include Hepatitis A, echovirus, coxsackie and polio, replicate better at 37O - body temperature. Enteroviruses are resistant to gastric acidity and bile. There are 3 strains of polio. Most epidemics are caused by Type 1. Some people have had polio twice, having the misfortune to catch different strains in different epidemics.
COURSE OF DISEASE
Polio enters through the mouth and divides in the lymphoid tissue of the pharynx or intestine. If the body cannot stop the virus at this stage, it enters the bloodstream and may cause flu'-like symptoms. If the disease is able to progress further, (ie with poor immune function), the virus enters the anterior horn cells of the spinal column resulting in weakness and paralysis, which is then recognised as polio.
The polio virus uses the RNA of the host cell to enable it to divide. It continues to divide until it explodes the host cell destroying it. Roughly 1,000 new poliovirus can be released from one host cell to seek their own host cell and repeat the process. Each cycle takes about 10 hours. Polio may continue to replicate in the gut and faeces may still be infectious for months after all symptoms have gone.
Polio can affect any and many parts of the body. Some people have an arm or a leg weakened or paralysed. There may be any combination, opposite arms and legs, the same side, both legs, face, eye, hearing, swallowing only, voice, breathing, scoliosis (curvature of spine) etc. If bulbar polio occurred, involving swallowing or breathing, patients may need tube feeding or an iron lung. Death was possible.
The extent of damage depends on how many cells
are destroyed completely and where they are. Most polio survivors
have scattered unapparent damage in many parts of the body that can only
be determined by EMG testing. If there is extensive destruction
in an area, permanent paralysis will result. Some nerve cells may
survive in a weakened state and improve over time. Other surviving
nerves may send out sprouts to re-activate muscles that have lost their
nerves supply, resulting in further recovery years later.
A few people were left requiring help breathing. Some are still using iron lungs. Many had calipers initially but over time were able to walk without them. Some were left using calipers, crutches, sticks or wheelchairs. Most people recovered to lead normal lives - many with no visible effects from polio, others with a variety of limps. Some had surgery to improve muscle and joint function. There was pride that their efforts to recover were rewarded. Polio was gone.However, around 1980 it was realised that polio had another round to go. Although polio people from previous eras had had some deterioration later in life,
it wasn't until the huge numbers of polio survivors from the post war years began having problems and talking about this, that it was realised there are "Late Effects" of polio that needed to be investigated further.
Symptoms that are occurring can be generalised and non-specific. They may include some or all.
ø Undue fatigue
ø New muscle weakness
ø Pain - muscular and / or joint
ø Lack of endurability
ø Breathing difficulties
ø Sleeping problems
ø Swallowing difficulties
ø Reduced ability in daily activities
Diagnosis is one of exclusion. There is no definite test available for the late effects of polio.
The Late Effects of Polio (LEP) is a general term covering new health problems resulting from polio-caused impairment including arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis and other repetitive motion problems.
Post Polio Syndrome (PPS) is a sub-category that includes a symptom cluster of new weakness, fatigue and pain, resulting in declining ability and/or new disability.
Post Polio Progressive Muscular Atrophy (PPMA) is a sub-group of PPS defined as progressive new weakness and atrophy in muscles and this can be demonstrated on EMG.
AN INTERNATIONAL CAUTION -
The following drugs may worsen the symptoms of polio survivors and should be avoided or used with caution: Alert your doctor to these.
|POLIO MEDICAL ALERT CARD
betaloc, inderal, tenormin
Alcohol may increase likelihood of falls
Treatment has mainly been to advise people to
reduce activity levels, building frequent rest periods into the day.
Exercise to maintain and improve muscle function advises exercising at
20% of your capacity only, to reduce further deterioration. Local
research by polio people in WA has improved on this advice, enabling many
in WA to return to previous activities again without the pain and fatigue
encountered previously. We can continue to be independent and in
control of our lives.

Mostly Symphonies 3.
Grant Chu Covell
“Une Symphonie Imaginaire.” Jean-Philippe RAMEAU: Var. movements selected and ordered by Marc Minkowski. Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski (cond.). Archiv B0004478-02 (http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/).
“…[W]e still sorely missed the symphonie that Rameau never wrote. And so we created it ourselves.” So explains Minkowski for this 17-track assemblage of orchestral music snipped from Rameau’s operas and ballets (Zaïs, Castor et Pollux, Les Fêtes d’Hébé, Dardanus, Le Temple de la Gloire, Les Boréades, La Naissance d’Osiris, Platée, Hippolyte & Aricie, Naïs and Les Indes galantes plus a transcription from the Pièces de Clavecin). Vocal lines were sometimes pruned to let the orchestra shine. Les Musiciens du Louvre are earnest, perhaps too aggressive, with the evenly balanced recording skirting the claustrophobic. The authentic-instrument band plays like bold rockers, shaking up the Ouverture to Zaïs and delivering the familiar Musette and Tambourin from Les Fêtes d’Hébé with exceptional force. Comparing the pumped-up Tambourins I & II from Dardanus with the complete opera (Archiv 463 476-2) reveals Minkowski and the band aiming for the jugular.
Rameau’s genially modern harmonie combined with rustic percussion, the twang of open gut strings and prominent bassoons chugging at bass-lines reminds the listener of over-powdered British film scores of a certain age: Nyman, of course, and Geoffrey Burgon’s music for the cult Brideshead Revisited. You could argue that these numbers work best in context, and that had Rameau experimented with the nascent symphonic form he would have done something completely different. The beauteous Scène funèbre from Castor et Pollux and the Entrée de Polymnie from Les Boréades seem too dramatic to be symphonic. As a ragtag excerpt collection, this disc is first-rate; I’ve been listening to it almost daily since I first came upon it. In its frisky way, one of the year’s best.
Bernard ZWEERS: Symphony No. 1 in D Major (1881); Daniël DE LANGE: Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 4 (1868). Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra, Ed Spanjaard, Anthony Halstead (conds.). Sterling CDS 1068-2 (http://www.sterlingcd.com/). Distributed in the US by Qualiton (http://www.qualiton.com/).
Dusting off forgotten symphonies, Sterling releases two noteworthy No.1s. A sunny, amiable effort, Zweers’ 26:18 First fills textbook forms with modest invention and color. The introductory wind paragraph — fluently played by the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra — discloses tantalizing promises well met. Grand passages in the Adagio and Finale suggest national anthems, though Beethoven’s Second and Fourth are not far behind. In his First’s opening, De Lange, trying for Wagnerian weight, comes closer to Grieg. The carefree scherzo recalls Schubert. The Zweers was taped in 1994, the De Lange in 2001. Both clean recordings feature the lively Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra, a joy to hear. It surprises to hear Spanjaard with tonal repertoire (he does superbly); he’s more familiar for his work with the Ensemble Intercontemporain and the Nieuw Ensemble (see him conduct Boulez’s Éclat on Idéale Audience DVD9DS15). Similarly, Halstead is known for his work in earlier eras. Sterling has released Zweer’s Second (CDS 1061-2).
Anton BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 4, “Romantic” (1878/80). Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, Philippe Herreweghe (cond.). Harmonia Mundi HMC 901921 (http://www.harmoniamundi.com/).
Piotr Ilyich TCHAIKOVSKY: Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique” (1893); Serenade for Strings (1881). Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Daniele Gatti (cond.). Harmonia Mundi HMU 907394 (http://www.harmoniamundi.com/).
I enjoyed Gatti’s wonderful Tchaikovsky Fourth (HMU 907393) and was eager to hear what he does with this great symphony. I admit to disparaging Tchaikovsky over the years, having slowly come to recognize that his Sixth is a pinnacle. (One tries to overlook the bathos of the symphony’s moniker and the composer’s death nine days after the premiere.) As to the performance, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performs drowsily until the middle of the march. The 5/4 waltz should swoon more. Both the opening and closing movements are noncommittal, the last movement’s usually crushing retreat unsatisfactorily hurried. Filling the disc with the ubiquitous Serenade for Strings, the Royal’s businesslike approach cranks out a warhorse without sentimentality. The lush strings’ impatience works to fine effect. I’ll come back to this disc for the Serenade only.
Similarly, having appreciated Herreweghe’s period approach to Bruckner’s Seventh, I looked forward to this “Romantic.” However, after auditioning this Fourth several times, I lost interest midway through the Andante. The orchestra plays well, especially in the scherzo, but Herreweghe, engendering nothing particularly distinctive, makes no probing discoveries. Most any Gotterdammerung-like interpretation is preferable, but perhaps that’s the point: Herreweghe doesn’t “do” Wagner which may explain why the more evolved Seventh fares better. Harmonia Mundi should jerk back the leash and insist Herreweghe stick to those periods where he’s proven he does exceptional work.
Emil Nikolaus von REZNICEK: Symphony No. 2, “Ironic” (1904/05); Symphony No. 5, “Dance Symphony” (1924/25). Berner Symphonie-Orchester, Frank Beermann (cond.). cpo 777 056-2 (http://www.cpo.de/). Distributed in the US by Naxos (http://www.naxos.com/).
I had not heard Reznicek’s chestnut, the Donna Diana Overture, until a set of overtures came my way (DG 469 322). Reznicek hardly challenges, but his Second Symphony could be paired with Prokofiev’s Classical, as both view the past through rose-colored glasses. Reznicek inhaled the same crumbling-empire air as his contemporary Richard Strauss, but while Don Juan’s creator grew grandiose, Reznicek moved towards a Hadyn-sized orchestra. The “Ironic” tag didn’t originate with the composer, who, however, never objected. In four movements, directionless harmony thwarts heroism. Warm melodies suggest slushy Schubert and Mahler. Nielsen’s Sixth has a winsome conspirator in these wonderful 25 sugar-coated minutes. The later Fifth sequences a polonaise, csárdás, ländler and tarantella, purely superficial fluff.
Gustav MAHLER: Symphony No. 8, “Symphony of a Thousand” (1906-7). Sylvia Greenberg, Lynne Dawson, Sally Matthews (sop.), Sophie Koch, Elena Manistina (alt.), Robert Gambill (ten.), Detlef Roth (bar.), Jan-Hendrik Rootering (bass), Rundfunkchor Berlin, MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig, Windsbacher Knabenchor, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Kent Nagano (cond.). Harmonia Mundi HMC 901858.59 (http://www.harmoniamundi.com/).
Gustav MAHLER: Symphony No. 8, “Symphony of a Thousand” (1906-7). Barbara Kubiak, Izabela Klosinska, Marta Boberska (sop.), Jadwiga Rappé, Ewa Marciniec (alt.), Timothy Bentch (ten.), Wojtek Drabowicz (bar.), Piotr Nowacki (bass), Warsaw National Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Polish Radio Choir in Kraków, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University Choir, Warsaw Boys Choir, Antoni Wit (cond.). Naxos 8.550533-34 (http://www.naxos.com/).
Mahler’s Eighth can bewilder. Upbeat compared to its mature brethren, it swims among universal themes. The Veni, creator spiritus’ smooth counterpoint and the atmospheric stage-setting for the final scene of Goethe’s Faust are quite unlike anything else in Mahler’s output. Certainly it’s a high-Romantic acme.
Other armchair listeners have praised Nagano’s sonics, which sound to me overblown. Impressive, yes, and yet the music remains remote. Balancing soloists, choirs, organ and orchestra (including mandolin and piano) isn’t easy, especially when the Eighth’s grandiosity defaults to a marshmallow consistency. Wit’s sonics are less blustery and better balanced. He reveals string runs, brass gestures and inner voices I hadn’t heard so clearly before. The soloists are perhaps the weakest link: mature and accurate yet somewhat unsteady in their diction.
I expect magic in the connecting bits, the Allegro, etwas hastig between Veni, creator spiritus’ two Infirma nostri corporis sections, Part II’s start, and at Blicket auf! Nagano’s Infirma nostri corporis progresses too sluggishly. Nagano’s tempos amble deliberately, offering unexpected opportunities to revel in Mahler’s sound. Wit’s team provides goose-bump enchantments. Wit’s Accende lumen sensibus sounds like a fugue, Nagano’s is merely busy. The closing Alles Vergängliche ist nur ein Gleichnis sounds heavenly in Wit, ponderous in Nagano. Hands down, Wit’s Mahler is excellent. Naxos’ release lacks texts, Harmonia Mundi contains an elegant booklet, and both have Klimt-loving art directors.
Mahler: Symphony No. 8 (1906-7)
Ernst PEPPING: Symphony No. 1 (1939); Symphony No. 2 (1942); Symphony No. 3, “Die Tageszeiten” (1944); Piano Concerto (1950). Volker Banfield (piano), Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, Werner Andreas Albert (cond.). cpo 777 041-2 (http://www.cpo.de/). Distributed in the US by Naxos (http://www.naxos.com/).
Does it matter how Pepping occupied his time during the Third Reich? Cpo’s notes say little other than that during postwar rehabilitation the composer felt passed over. Completed in 1944, the Third waited for its premiere until 1948. Remembered as a composer of choral music, Pepping’s undemanding symphonies reveal scant awareness of their times. Except for a touch of neoclassicism, they seem naïvely indifferent. Strauss and Korngold were far more adventuresome. Increasingly irrelevant to music’s postwar trends, Pepping, who died in 1981, stopped composing in 1968.
Delightfully harmless and plumped with pleasant themes, the neatly constructed First bathes in easy tonality, a cloudless, four-movement concert overture. Some may find Pepping’s perpetual sunshine an irritant. The Second’s contrasting severity feels unwarranted. The rambling first movement contrasts several themes, finding no catharsis. Sufficiently constructed, Pepping’s quickly tumbling orchestral transparency suggests late Mahler attempting film scoring. The scherzo is truly strange: a sterilized Weill or Hindemith joins the circus.
The 1944 Third sounds as if it was written in the century’s first decade. Cpo could have mislabeled the symphonies, with no one other than the odd musicologist being the wiser. Bits in the second movement recall Weimar Berlin, with a little tune suggesting a particular anthem. The third movement’s odd harmonization and abrupt mood shifts hint at Ives. The subtitle, “Times of the Day,” apparently has nothing to do with Pepping’s wartime routine. The anachronistic, mildly neoclassical Piano Concerto’s jazz inflections sound like a vacuous tourist’s postcard. On the whole, finely performed and strange enough to play for friends.
Bohuslav MARTINU: Symphony No. 1 (1942); Symphony No. 2 (1943); Symphony No. 3 (1944); Symphony No. 4 (1945); Symphony No. 5 (1946); Symphony No. 6, “Fantaisies symphoniques” (1951-53). Bamberger Symphoniker, Neeme Järvi (cond.). BIS CD 1371/72 (http://www.bis.se/). Distributed in the US by Qualition (http://www.qualiton.com/).
Martinu’s symphonies deserve revival. Unfortunately this collection disappoints in every way. The pedestrian readings lack insight. Neither dissonant nor difficult, the composer might seem undeserving of exploration, and yet within his distinctive harmonic and melodic style he cuts a wider path than most. Supraphon’s old set (rec. 1976-78, 11 0382-2), with the Czech Philharmonic and Vaclav Neumann’s native flair, bests Järvi and the Germans. Another modern cycle, Bryden Thomson’s with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, frequently misses Martinu’s elegance (Chandos CHAN 9103-5). To judge from his sensitively shaped Fifth (EMI 7243 5 75091 2 1) recorded 1971 with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, what would most please is a collected set of Karel Ancerl’s Martinu readings.
Humphrey SEARLE: Night Music, Op. 2 (1943); Overture to a Drama, Op. 17 (1949); Symphony No. 1, Op. 23 (1952-53); Symphony No. 2, Op. 33 (1956/58); Symphony No. 3, Op. 36 (1959/60); Symphony No. 4, Op. 38 (1962); Symphony No. 5, Op. 43 (1964). BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Alun Francis (cond.). cpo 777 131-2 (http://www.cpo.de/). Distributed in the US by Naxos (http://www.naxos.com/).
Cpo reassembles Francis’ 1995, ’97 and ’98 Searle symphony recordings as a double set. Illustrating serialism’s potential, they develop from warm grittiness (First, Second and Third) into strident atonality (Fourth and Fifth). Never forgetting his studies with Webern, Searle dedicated Night Music and the Fifth to his Austrian teacher. Francis guides the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra unhesitatingly through formidable music, discounting those moments when an unlucky combination of pauses, tricky string writing and a dry acoustic conspire to portray Searle as threadbare.
British serialists constitute a small set. Whereas Searle absorbed Webern’s concision, Gerhard’s symphonies, closer to Schoenberg, are rather more bruising. The four-movement First fidgets restlessly with its fluent serialism. For the most part, Searle’s symphonies are monothematic, a single line strongly supported with plain counterpoint. The First’s final movement features two false endings. Darkly expressionistic, the three-movement Second propels towards a martial conclusion. Also in three movements, the Third, with its shorter motives, is plainly meaner. A central movement, with its brass fanfare recalling Wozzeck, builds crisply. The sprightly Fourth demonstrates how dodecaphony’s intrinsic pitch turnover can yield brief gestures. A cimbalom appears in the last two movements. The multi-part Fifth flows without a break. Still sharply angular, Searle finds great variation though continually changing orchestration and rhythm.
At just under nine minutes, the atmospheric Night Music discloses a varied orchestration across variations. While Searle seems not to have had a specific drama in mind, the Overture to a Drama’s salted atonality suggests tragedy.
George ROCHBERG: Symphony No. 2 (1955-56); Imago Mundi (1973). Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra, Christopher Lyndon-Gee (cond.). Naxos 8.559182 (http://www.naxos.com/).
Representing two apparently contradictory aesthetics, this disc may surprise listeners unfamiliar with Rochberg (see here, here and here). This Second — the quintessential atonal “angry man” symphony — forges Varèse and Schoenberg into a strong alloy. The felicitous employment of 12-tone methods is readily apparent in Rochberg’s wonderfully dense harmonies, strong melodic lines and flowing counterpoint, especially in the central Adagio. Compared to the New York Philharmonic / Werner Torkanowsky recording (CRI CD 768), Lyndon-Gee takes fast movements faster and slow movements slower. The older yet fresher taping (1961?) delivers bruising punches, whereas Naxos’ 2000 recording merely glowers. While such music has become easier for present-day orchestral players, the performance’s nonchalance doesn’t suit this symphony. The eclectic Imago Mundi recreates the traditional Japanese Gagaku ensemble amid several folksy Stravinskian episodes (Petroushka and Rite are elegantly spoofed). Bizarrely the 24:06 Imago Mundi feels longer than the 31:28 Second. Rochberg’s First will be released on Naxos 8.559214.

Following please find the letter I sent to the Executive Council regarding the potential appointment of Gordon MacDonald as New Hampshire’s Supreme Court Judge. If you’re interested, you can participate in this process in three ways, sent to me from ReBuildNH: “1) Go to the meeting on the 21st in person (they’ll probably make you wear a mask—resist if you are so inclined), 2) attend the meeting using their call-in number, or 3) email the Executive Councilors (email@example.com) and give them your reasons why Gordon MacDonald should not be trusted with the highest judicial office in New Hampshire.”
I ask that this email be read into and form part of the official record. I, Carla Gericke, former Republican State Senate candidate in District 20, ask you to vote AGAINST Gordon MacDonald’s nomination as New Hampshire’s Supreme Court Justice.
On top of the fiasco created by Sununu’s unConstitutional Emergency Orders, fully supported and enforced by the AG, for which there is NO LEGAL JUSTIFICATION, you should NOT confirm MacDonald based on his appeal of Judge Temple’s 2019 order to release the secret list of bad cops, aka, the Laurie’s List.
If, as MacDonald claimed by filing the appeal, he believes Granite Staters have no right to know which law enforcement officers have been found by their own police chiefs after a 20+ page process to be too corrupt to testify in court–officers who lie, cheat, falsify police reports, and use excessive force–then what sort of Supreme Court judge will he be? MacDonald’s misreading of this issue is so egregious, the NH Supreme Court late last year remanded the case back to the lower court, saying this information is, of course, in the public interest and must be disclosed. Due to MacDonald’s decision to file the appeal, his actions directly protected known bad actors for several extra years, years during which we have seen massive social unrest due to lack of police accountability or any appetite for real policing reform. This lack of judgement has wasted tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in unnecessary legal fees, and, rightfully, led to a deep mistrust in the justice system.
I remind you, the NH Constitution says:
MacDonald has proven time and time again, he will protect the Establishment at the expense of the people he purports to serve. In fact, thinking people might argue it is a de facto conflict of interest for a former Attorney General to become a Supreme Court Justice because he will be incapable of protecting New Hampshire’s citizens against Constitutional overreaches by the state. We need a bench with judges who serve the law, not politicians, their cronies, and unions. MacDonald, through his own actions, has proven he is not up to the task.
I ask you to vote AGAINST Gordon MacDonald as New Hampshire’s Supreme Court Justice.
Thank you for your time.

I’ve got a beard. A lot of people do. But it has always been a badge of a kind of alternative living. “Shaving,” a beard suggests, “is for people with who want to slip more easily into the torpedo tube of modern life.”
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to push a bearded man into the torpedo tube of modern life. I have and I can tell you it’s not easy. They slip in ok up to the neck but as soon as you get to the bristle it’s no go. They jut up the chin and then it’s a bit like trying to fit a brillo pad into a Smartie tube.
Granted you often see submariners in moody continental TV docu dramas with a growth the size of a koala but they’re often the Commodores. They have a big old shrubbery face but all the ratings have smooth little adolescent chins.
And these are the poor fools who will be slipped into the torpedo tube of modern life and fired out into the cold Arctic waters.
Gillette may be the best a man can get. But he should expect to be fired from a torpedo tube on a transcontinental ballistic mission into the fury of global existence. | <urn:uuid:31de04a1-7a3d-4675-82c1-bb74b080b591> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://jetmcdonald.com/2013/03/11/beards/ | 2018-12-17T05:59:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376828318.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181217042727-20181217064727-00385.warc.gz | en | 0.947995 | 274 |
I first met Dan White in October 1977- 13 months before he snuffed out the life of Harvey Milk.
As a long-haired, rookie reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, I’d arranged to interview White, a 31-year-old firefighter and ex-cop running for the Board of Supervisors, at his campaign headquarters, a blue-collar neighborhood storefront plastered with “Unite and Fight with Dan White” signs. I asked that day about a statement in his campaign brochure: “I am not going to be forced out of San Francisco by splinter groups of radicals or social deviates.” Many read his declaration, including misspelling, as code-an attack on San Francisco’s influx of gays. One was Harvey Milk, a high-profile gay activist and camera store owner running for supervisor in a more liberal district. White insisted he wasn’t smearing gays, but referring to violent leftists then conducting terrorist bombings in the city.
“Crime is number one with me,” he said, in explanation.
Milk and White both soon won the election. No one could have known it at the time, but a year later their lives would intersect in a few seconds of violence and horror, a tragic climax to a tumultuous decade. On November 27, 1978, the ex-cop assassinated Milk and liberal mayor George Moscone at City Hall.
Three decades later, the awful story is now retold in Milk, Gus Van Sant’s acclaimed film, infusing the screen lives and deaths of Milk, Moscone, and White with operatic dimension. As a reporter who knew and covered the three men as politicians and news sources, though, it still feels strange to view them as historic figures in an epic drama. My mind’s lasting images are more prosaic, street-level shards of memory about long-ago political wars and the party-hearty swirl of San Francisco in the 1970s.
The town was polarized, political power up for grabs. The entrenched business establishment sought to reinvent a working-class port city as a Manhattan-style finance and tourist center, while an aggressive neighborhood movement fought to preserve a Santa Barbara-like scale and quality of urban life. Backed by minorities, labor, and environmentalists-and the charismatic Rev. Jim Jones-liberal Moscone squeaked to victory in 1975 over a cranky real estate man channeling conservative, white homeowners from upscale, verdant fog-belt neighborhoods.
The stakes grew the next year, when liberals passed a measure to elect supervisors by districts instead of citywide, bringing more than 100 grassroots candidates out of the woodwork. I’d covered these folks for the hip alternative weekly, so the stodgy Chronicle hired me to help cope with the crazies.
Milk, a perennial progressive candidate, was the best known of the district election crew. I’d covered him in a previous race, and enjoyed gossiping with Harvey about politics, sitting on a battered crimson sofa in the back of his tiny, failing camera store in the gay mecca everyone called the Castro.
One of Milk’s loyal supporters was a stringy-haired entrepreneur named Dennis Peron. He ran Island, a hippy-dippy restaurant where Harvey held fundraisers, but his passion was managing an underground marijuana supermarket the cognoscenti called Big Top. When the cops raided Dennis one night, shooting him in the leg before arresting him, I was assigned to write it. I called Harvey for background, and he worked me like a ref; after the piece came out, he sent me a little handwritten note, applauding my “sensitivity on a sensitive story.”
By contrast with Harvey, Dan was a novice, campaigning against 11 other unknowns in a gritty district framed by two freeways on the southern boundary of the city. White Catholics-resentful about newly arrived Asian, Latino, and gay immigrants-populated its single-family houses with postage-stamp lawns.
Researching the race, I met candidates for coffee in an old bowling alley, and filed a story naming White a frontrunner, on the strength of his precinct operation and stoked by his large, Irish family, and police and fire-department pals. Some of his rivals soon called me, complaining that White’s troops were bullies who intimidated them at candidates’ events. Dan called too, seeking advice about an editorial board meeting; he mentioned that campaign donations had picked up following my story. After the assassinations, I’d beat myself up over that.
When Harvey and Dan both won, the TV stations took to interviewing the two together, the gay, Jewish ward heeler and the straight-arrow Catholic choir boy symbolizing the diversity of district elections. The pair gained a little rapport; Dan assured Harvey that his campaign reference to “social deviates” was about junkies, not gays.
Rapprochement didn’t last.
At City Hall, Milk dove into the swim, while White struggled to make headway. A major ham steeped in opera and theater, Harvey had a gift for making news and a keen eye for image. Assignment editors at the paper considered Milk, with his shameless self-promotion, a pain in the ass. But despite their grumbling, he often made page one: Harvey’s “human billboard,” a line of handsome, young gay men displaying campaign signs on Castro Street; Harvey, arriving at Island’s election-night celebration on the back of his leather-clad, female campaign manager’s motorcycle; Harvey, marching to inauguration, arm draped languorously on the shoulder of his slim, Latino lover; Harvey, beaming over Moscone’s shoulder at the signing of Milk’s antigay discrimination bill.
But Milk was never content with being just the gay supervisor. His finest politics-is-local triumph pictured him inspecting his shoe after “accidentally” stepping in dog doo at a press conference in the park about his “pooper scooper” legislation: “Anybody who solves the dog-shit problem can be mayor,” he told me more than once.
White, meanwhile, struggled. He proudly announced formation of neighborhood watch teams to combat a wave of violent street crime, but was promptly blasted in the press for “vigilantism.” He found more success fighting for the mostly white Police Officers Association against a discrimination suit filed by black officers. Moments after the supes narrowly voted behind closed doors to accept a settlement, White called me in the press room, asking for a meet; then he swore me to secrecy, handed me the documents, and innocently asked, “Can you get this in the paper?” After my story led page one the next morning, public outcry about the settlement’s terms torpedoed the deal.
But Dan lost his biggest fight. He’d promised to block a city-financed center for troubled teens from moving to an old convent in his district. At the board, he was humiliated, losing 6-5. He seethed at Harvey, who cast the crucial vote against him after promising support. Dan stopped talking to Harvey.
He also began acting strangely.
In summer 1978, he ranted about a routine, Columbus Day street-closure request by a colleague from the Italian, North Beach district, thundering that the city was “trapping people in their homes.” After losing 10-1, he slammed his fist on the leather chair of the measure’s sponsor, muttering a vague threat. His behavior was so weird that board president Dianne Feinstein whispered for him to cool down. Years later she told me, “I couldn’t believe it-he was flushed, he was angry. There was a visceral response [that] should not have been there.”
Politically frustrated and beset by money problems, White withdrew. The paper reassigned me to the state politics beat. In early November, freshly moved to Sacramento, I was shocked to read that Dan had abruptly resigned.
Then Jonestown erupted.
Jim Jones, Moscone’s old ally, led the mass murder suicide of his flock in Guyana, and White became old news. Behind the scenes, the Police Officers Association pressed him, desperate for his vote on the discrimination suit. While Dan pleaded for the seat, Milk and others convinced Moscone to name a liberal replacement instead.
Moscone planned to announce the new supervisor at 11:30 a.m., on Monday, November 27. Minutes before, White slipped into his office, shot and killed him, reloaded, then walked across the hall and executed Milk. An hour before his life ended, Harvey giddily told a friendly City Hall aide that Moscone had given him a heads-up about the appointment. She asked if he planned to attend the announcement.
“Are you kidding?” Harvey smiled. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” | <urn:uuid:0ef26495-e511-40d5-9eff-e9f7a58fc4fb> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.independent.com/news/2008/dec/11/harvey-dan-70s-show/ | 2018-01-17T22:26:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084886979.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20180117212700-20180117232700-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.968883 | 1,876 |

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
A business man is inconsistent when
he allows his wife to shop in a neigh-
boring town. But it is being clone
in Granger, sad to say. He expects
his patrons to buy his wares and
would have to go out of business
without it, /but spends (his imoney
with a firm who never has or nevei
will spend a nickle with him. How
docs he expect his business to grow
or Granger to grow by such methods ?
During 1926 the News would like
to secure a live correspondent from
the various communities adjacent lo
Granger. They are entitled to repre-
sentation in these columns and would
be the means of doing a great deat
of good in a publicity way during the
new year. Stationery and stamps
will be furnished to all correspondents
upon request. Wo would like to hear
from those who are interested In the
matter. Report the happenings or
your respective communities. It is
time well spent.
At this time of the year the News
has to keep expenses down to make
ends meet. To do that it is neces-
sary to operate with the smallest
force possible. To do this, copy for
advertising should be prepared prom-
ptly in order that the work may be
distributed throughout the week.
When advertising copy is delayed, thin
is impossible, and a very great part
of the work issuing the paper must
be done the last two or three days
before press day. We shall appreciate
it very much if the advertisers will
favor us by preparing copy early.
GOOD RIDDANCE OF
We have a very poor opinion of a
man who will 4ive in a town, county
or state and knock it. We heard a
man knocking his town the other day;
he was riding around in a nice, new
auto, has a nice home to live in, and
severul years a«o when he landed here,
to our certain knowledge, he was flat
broke; now he is in good circumstances
—has a nice substantial business.
And yet we heard him say that a man
was a fool, and he was a fool, for
stopping here. Well, we could not help
from handing him one in this wise:
Why in the devil don't you move 7
Why do you stay here and knock the
town that has given you a good liv-
ing, permitting you to acumulate k
competence to live on? Now we let
our mind run along back down the
years, and in doing so, we got !.
line-up on this fellow, and to onr cer-
tain knowledge, we have never seet>
this man at a public meeting, never
saw him in a pass meeting which was
called for the advancement of the
town and county, never saw his name
on a public subscription list for any
civic enterprise whatever, land yiei
he lives here, makes a living here and
stands around and curses the town.
Now, ere we pass, we want to say thai
we have a perfect contempt for that
sort of a citizen. Furthermore, we
dont' believe in a boycott, as it is u
sign of cowardice and weakness to
boycott any man or faction, but suf-
fice it is to say if the other fellow
has what we want, we mean the fellow
that boosts for his town, we look
him up.—Albany News.
THE PRESS AND THE PULPIT
"A man camc into my office once
with u nice piece about his daughter's
wedding," says Ole Buck, in Harvard,
Nebraska, Courier. "I was glad to
get it and thanked him for it. Then
he asked me for some scraps of
colored paper for the children to play
with. I gave them to him. Then he
wanted a copy of last week'B paper.
I gave it to him. He then asked the
price of 500 envelopes. I told him.
He called me a dern robber and
said he would use a rubber stamp be-
fore he would be held up in such a
fashion. I knocked him in the head
with a poker and buried him in the
back yard and no one has ever missed
THE NEWS WISH FOR 1926
Better streets over the resident
section, preferably concrete.
A Retail Merchant's Association,
members of which will stick and co-
operate in every way possible for
a better Granger.
Better aontsructed churches with
a larger attendance.
A live Parents-Teachers Association
that will labor for the best interests
of our high, school.
A more determined effort on the
part of the citizenship to boost Gran-
ger every day in the year and that
every business man will cooperate
with his competitor across the street
to the end that this town will grow
in a business way.
Less town knockers—more home
More folks with a smile and a
heartly hand shake and none with a
Less town loafers and more work-
ers. A drone has never helped build
a town—it requires busy folks to ac-
complish things worth while.
More encouragement to the fire
boys who protect our property. Give
them plenty of equipment.
A brake on tho credit system.
More people to pay cash for what
they buy or do without it. The credit
habit is vrcrking lion es, making
some dishonest who would otherwise
go straight. A good slogan for every
body would be to pay their debts
through the system of paying'as they
go. A debt shirker is a very under-
sirablc fellow, but sad to say, very
popular with eome folks. 1
Less selfishness and more brother-
More people to trade at home. A
mighty good idea. You can't expect
any town to grow when money ts
pent to the mail order houses. Keep
the money at home whatever you do.
Up to a hundred years ago the pul-
pit was the press. Men gathered at
the church on Sundays not only to
pray but to learn some new thing,
to hear what had happened in the
world and to tell it, and to get com-
ment ont it, from the minister, who
represented history and science and I
political economy as well as God. But j
with the ripening df the nineteenth
century there came a great new social
force, journalism. And this force a*
once robbed the pulpit of half its
significance. It assumed the task of
keeping the people informed and oT
commenting authoratively on events.
This immense social power has come
to stay and to develop more and more
in the means it uses and the ends It
accomplishes. As a source of simple
information, of news—think of the
orce and meaning of the word—its
importance is (jreat. As an-intellec-
tual and moral and spiritual influ-
ence its importance is far greater. To
an extent we do not often realize the
mode of thought, the action, the whole
life of the average man are determin-
ed by his newspaper' and not by his
minister any more. As Longfellow
said, when the remark was far less
just than today, "This country is not
priest-ridden, but press-ridden."
The phases of this journalistis In-
fluence are to many to be compassed
in a brief editorial. But two of the
most important may be emphasized.
First, its impersonality. The minister
had a tremendous personal responsi-
bility for everything he taught. The
word of God walked the streets in
him daily and became a human thing.
Let us believe that most newspaper
editors would like to help righteous-
ness as far as it can be done without
hurting advertising. But the editor
is a creature of cloud and shadow.
Nothing that he teaches ever comes
home to him. He is not even the sou}
of his newspaper, which has no soul
but is a vast self-nourished machine,
moving by its own laws to its own
em ' like some mit'uej.' ,>f nature.
Another, greater ..inter of the
newspapers, as compared with the pul-
pit is that it does not put God into
our lives. Some o us believe that
of all the menifold needs that beset
our great American democracy—so
joyously and buoyantly ignorant of
them—the greatest and one of the
least realized is the need of God. In
our newspapers, which mold the live*
of men and women, God, as the pul-
pit knew Him, is excluded, by tacit
consent. This is a condition of things
which deserves more thought than we
can give it.—The Youth's Companion.

fro, pastor of the Methodist church, '
spoke briefly, congratulating his !
neighbor church on the splendid \
move they are beginning, and hopes ot
full fruition of their plans and expec-
tations. F. E. Buckholz, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, made
a talk expressing with much effect
all that the church and school mean |
to a town, and the satisfaction the |
building of a splendid new Baptist [
church should be to all the citizenship
fylrs. George iW. Glasscock, who
donated the lot on which the new
church is to be erected, and a mem-
ber' of many years of the Baptist
organization, made a short talk ex-
pressing pleasure at the beginning
of the splendid building she had hoped
for so many years. Misses Sallie
and Julia Stubblefield, both members
of long standing, and Mrs. Martha
Suttles, aged 93 years, the oldest
member of the present organization,
all spoke briefly, expressing joy at
the beginning of a new house of wor-
Dr. Gettys gave a brief review of
the history of the Baptist church at
Georgetown. The first sermon ever
preached in Williamson county, he
said, was delivered by a Baptist, Rev.
R. H. Taliferro, at the residence of
Freeman Smalley near Georgetown
in 1847. Rev. Taliferro was the
father of Mrs. Lee M. Taylor oi
Georgetown. Later Rev. Taliferro
preached in the little church erected
in Georgetown, and the first Baptist
church organization was effected.
Later the present Baptist church was
built, and Mrs. Glasscock, Mrs. E. E.
Taylor and the Misses Stubblefield
are the only living members who
took active part in collecting funris
and otherwise assisting in the build-
ing of the Baptist church, now soon
to be given up for the new building.
The ladies assisted in the cere-
monies of the beginning of the new
church Monday. Mrs. Suttles, the
oldest members, assisted by Master
J. E. Logan, youngest member, drove
the first peg. Mrs. Glasscock, donor
of the land, assisted by Lucile Pierce,
turned the first shovel of dirt. In
closing the impressive servicc, Miss
Camilla Amerson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. Emerson, the first
young lady of Georgetown to pay her
building pledge in full, took the plow
and turned the first furrow for the
excavation, while Constable Henry
Purl drove the mules.
The contract for the new building^
was awarded to Griffith Lumber
Company of Georgetown, and active
work has begun which in the early
summer will result in one of the |
most beautiful and modern church i
buildings in Texas.
Every Qommunity is K^nown

A stranger comes to town all he h*s to do
rr is to use his eyes and his intelligence to know
what kind of a town it is. If he finds modern electric
lights and abundant electric power, he know6 that here is
a wide-awake, prosperous, progressive community. If he
doesn't find these things, no amount of verbal "boosting"
is going to convince him that this town is a desirable
place in which to live and work and invest his money. For
he realizes that a prosperous, growing electric light and
power system means a presperous, growing community,
made up of broad minded, progressive citizens.
f* American public services are the envy of the
world, because it is here that the greatest progress has been

all of the utility services except gas, originated in the minds
of inventive Americans. As general public servants they
have become every-day necessities of modern life. They

Why do people laugh ? You may
not know it but this is a very hard
question to answer. You, ot' course,
laugh when you are pleased; but, then
you also laugh when you are tickled.
You may laugh at another to show
your contempt for him. Yau may
laugh much more than others. When
you think of all this you wonder why
you laugh at all. You know that there
is a very intimate relation between
the body and the states of the mind.
There must be some reason why man,
the; only reasoning animal, is also the
only one that laughs.
Laughter is one of nature's methods
of holding the emotions in check ana
setting the energy going to waste in
the emotions at more useful work.
The old saying "Laugh and grow
fat", suggests that laughing is good
for us, though perhaps getting fat ts
not the best proof of it. But, it »s
true that we do derive benefit from
laughing. Happiness strengthens the
beat of the heart and deepens the |

Audi Billboard Optical Illusion
Audi is a high end German automobile. Audi’s new Billboard Advertisement plays quite the eye tricks with you. The top of the bridge appears to be the sky and buildings, but if you look at the ladder connecting the two it makes no sense? Is this some new funky latter that twist to different dimensions? Audi has developed this MC Escher style advertisement to grab your attention and keep it. The only problem is I think people would be more confused about what the heck is going on then noticing that its an Audi ad. | <urn:uuid:1f2ad76c-f663-4306-9fcf-30c8a5e1d155> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://visualfunhouse.com/transportation/audi-billboard-optical-illusion.html | 2019-06-26T07:55:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000231.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626073946-20190626095946-00090.warc.gz | en | 0.962632 | 113 |
A policy so incoherent, so knowingly and obviously contradictory, is a declaration of weakness and passivity. And this, as Anthony Cordesman, James Phillips and others have argued, can increase the chance of war. It creates, writes Cordesman, “the same conditions that helped trigger World War II — years of negotiations and threats,
where the threats failed to be taken seriously until war became all too
This has precipitated the current U.S.-Israeli crisis, sharpened by the president’s rebuff of the Israeli prime minister’s request for a meeting during his upcoming U.S. visit. Ominous new developments;

A lot of the euphoria on the right this morning, reminds a lot of the post-election euphoria in the Simpson's episode, entitled "Trash of the Titans". Homer ran for Trash Commissioner on the promise of more service for less money. Hilarity ensued. Sadly, the outcome in Toronto will be a lot less funny.

There is one pattern that we must learn to identify and guard against, and it goes like this:
- A small group of smart and progressive types set out to create something brilliant. They build a system that produces excellence, as long as the original concepts continue to be endorsed and nurtured by those who participate.
- The experiment is a success, and the community grows exponentially. Others see the genius in the system and they both emulate it as well as show up to participate. This is mostly a good thing, because people who show up at this stage are like-minded and simply add numbers to something that’s good.
- Fast forward. Now, it becomes obvious to the rest of the world that this system 1) makes it easy to influence the system, and 2) pays off well when you’re a member.
- The late comers proceed to poison the ecosystem by injecting low-quality and/or dissimilar content into the stream. Much of this is now coming from those who don’t know about or embrace the original ideas that went into the creation of the community; they are there for the benefits alone.
- Many of the smarter, more progressive types will pick up and look for/create another community where they don’t have to be constantly assailed by low quality. They leave in massive numbers, heading for somewhere more like what they helped build.
See: Digg, Reddit, Hacker News, and the United States.
This failure occurs for two primary reasons:
- Creative people are often progressive compared to the general population, and as such they tend to resist classifying people and behaviors in ways that could be offensive. Because of these liberal tendencies hey resist the idea of setting a standard for quality, or even of explicitly identifying the things that make their system great for fear that it may imply someone else’s things are less great.
- Having failed to properly identify what makes them special and successful, they are therefore unable to guard those attributes from erosion. So when x, y, or z takes place that seems to be a quality issue, they are unable to discern whether it goes against their core identity or whether it’s just another example of diverse input.
The result is always the same: If there is no standard, the community will suffer. The same traits that made the community great in the first place (progressive thought) is what prevents them from enforcing behavior that will maintain that community. In sum, we’re fated to continue this cycle of creating great new things only to dilute them into banality.
The United States is now full of people who haven’t read a book since high school, think Jesus is coming back soon, don’t believe in evolution, and don’t know the name of their congressional representatives. And Hacker News is becoming more like Reddit every day.
Hopefully we’ll figure out this simple concept one day: 1) take note of what made something successful, 2) don’t be afraid to refer to those attributes as an identity, and to defend them.

My training started in ernest tonight and I’m really happy with how it went.
The pool was much quieter, than is has been of late, I’m suspecting the colder weather and threat of snow has put a few people off. Possibly some of the “New Years Resolution Gang” can’t face the idea of going outside , after swimming, in to the icy wind. Cold weather, in all likelihood, sorts some of the wheat from chaff, when it comes to making a long term swimming commitment. I’m making a assumptions here, of course!
Anyhow, I started with a 50m warm up. I was amused to reach the end of the lane, after my first 25, to witness a couple, who had got in just after me, having a massive argument. She was resorting, to splashing him with large amounts of water, as a means of marking her ire with him. Saves throwing plates, I guess. Maybe its a damage limiting exercise, go to your local pool for an argument, instead of throwing crockery in frustration and smashing the furniture, throw some water instead!
I was quite suprised, on the return journey, swimming front crawl, that my lungs felt uncomfortable. Clearly there was some inflammation/muscle tightness in my lungs as a result of my asthma.
I decided to swim, mainly breaststroke in the early stages of my swim. This is a difficult call, I usually alternative breaststroke and frnot crawl, with distances of equal length. Breast stroke is much easier on my lungs, bit puts much more pressure on my joints. Fortunately, as time went on and I became more “warmed up” my lungs improved and front crawl became easier
The other thing, I was working on today, along with completing a long swim, was prevent or at least reducing the painful cramp I experience in my feet and ankles. I’ve read a number of articles,which suggest dehydration is a culprit in causing this.
Usually, when I swim a distance, I don’t like to stop, but this means I can be swimming up to two hours, with out fluids. If the gym, you know how much fluid your loosing, in the pool you have no idea. Therefore, I built regular, fluid breaks into my swim. This also allowed me to have two puffs my salbutamol inhaler, each time I stopped.
Every 15 or minutes, I would stop, have a few sips of water, 200mcg of salbutamol and off I’d go again. Intrestingly, cramp was much less of a problem, today. It also proved to be a good way, of breaking down a long swim. Next time, I will try half an hour and see how I feel, before deciding when to fit in my fluid breaks.
The pool, did get busier as time went along, from 7pm-8pm, it was ladies only. There was only myself and one of two other’s seemed too be undertaking serious swimming. It clearly highlights to me, just how many adult’s, seem never to have, had the opportunity. I also noticed, that quite a large majority where excercising mainly, their mouth. It’s good, that the pool provides a social space, bit how many will return home, thinking that they have completed a decent amount of swimming, when in reality have achieved little in the way of aerobic exercise, one of the greatest benefits swimming can, if done properly provide.
As I swam, I became aware of the fact I was experiencing a significant amount of.pain in my right wrist and shoulder. Clearly my arthritis was accompanying me, in the pool! Fortunately, it didn’t get to the “unbearable point” and I was able to carry on.
On Monday, I had been forced to abandon my swim, thanks to, two ladies swimming side by side, chatting. This time, I decided I needed to be brutal. If someone was in my way, rather than getting frustrated and give up, I knew I had to find a way of keeping going.
Most of the time I was able to swim round them, even it meant swimming a slightly greater distance, but a couple of times I was forced to swim through them.
On one particular occasion, half way up the lane, four ladies were swimming a slow breaststroke, side by side, chatting. A shoal of women! Not wanting to sound like an exert from “We’re going on a Bear Hunt”, but I knew that I could get round them, nor could I swim under them. I couldn’t stay behind them, as their pace was far too slow. I just had to go through them, and I did. Head down, arms outstretched, I put myself into the gliding position, literally barged my way through the middle. It wasn’t the most decorious way, to deal with it or, if the truth be told, polite. But it was, the only way to continue. Coming back in the opposite direction, I saw them again, in their little pack, coming towards me, so did they and they scattered, swimming off, in different directions, before again reforming their ranks, re-comencing their conversation!
I would like to take the opportunity here, to apologise. I probably come across as opinionated and bitchy. I don’t intend to, it’s just sometimes, it gets frustrating.
It’s impossible to run sessions for social swimmers and serious swimmers, it just wouldn’t be practical, but sometimes I wish I could, get in the pool and “just swim” without having to be considering how to circumnavigate round other people.
I also had a couple of folk crash into me, easy done and their apologies are accepted. If you’re swimming with your head up, you can see me in advance. For most of my swims, I’m looking, mainly at the pool floor, I don’t have a periscope on my goggles, unfortunately. Nor am I able, to take my eye out, lift it up and look round, like Mr Potato Head in Toy Story!
Despite all of this, I had a great, first training swim. Along with the 50m at the he beginning, I swam a further 2300m in one hour and thirty minutes. My previous best for 2500m was one hour 51 minutes, so this shows to me, a marked improvement in speed.
The last 500 metres, was exhausting. I felt like I had nothing left, in the tank, despite raiding my work’s Christmas sweetie tin, earlier in the afternoon! It felt like, every single stroke, was a hard work and I knew I was depleting already depleted resources, but I had decided to swim till 7.50pm and I was determined to do this. And I did.
I climbed, gratefully out of the pool, really happy with my swim, but desperate for a rest. I ached and my left hand was tingling, telling me that I had irritated the nerve damage, in my upper spine.
To help me recover a little, I parked myself up in the steam room. It was great, not to have to share it it big, burly blokes, dressed only in their speedo budgie smugglers. Where else would it be perfectly normal and acceptable, to sit in a room with a group of blokes, clad only in, in essence, their pants? It was nice too, to be able to relax, without being surrounded by blokes vying for supremacy, with each other, in someway.
Five minutes later, I emerged from this steam fIlled enclosure, feeling revived. I spotted a thing of beauty. A empty pool, it’s surface, like a millpond. It was opportunity too good to miss. With four minutes to closing time, I got back in.
I still felt, utterly exhausted, but to be able to swim in an empty pool was too good an opportunity. It had to be taken.
I swam a further three lengths, 50m butterfly, reaching the end of the pool the lifeguard shouted “we’re closed love, time to get out”. Please, one more back to the bottom? I set off, to find all eyes on me, as I flayed my way to the end.
Yes the pool was closed to the public, but the local swimming club had just arrived for training and these were the elite swimmers. Goodness what they all thought, as they saw me splashing my way down the pool. I might judge other other people’s swimming style.
Anyway I will end with a summary of the main swim, today.

Home stretch! Today is the second last day and I’ll hit my 30 days of cookies! I’m pretty proud I kept up with this, it was honestly tough to blog each day. I go through spurts of cleaning out my pantry. I found some vegan butterscotch chips and started looking for a good way to use them. Since I’m at the last few days of MoFo I didn’t have to make cookies but I found this recipe for Rooibos Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip Cookies and thought it sounded pretty interesting. I love tea, butterscotch and well, I had to make some sort of cookies yesterday for today’s post, so it worked.
This recipe makes a HUGE batch, I mean, 4 eggs. I already knew I was going to quarter the recipe. I used flax seeds as my egg replacer since the texture wouldn’t be too noticeable with the oatmeal. I think mine didn’t turn out so brown because I used margarine instead of butter. Hrm. Since I quartered the recipe I did make the full rooibos infusion but just used half. I still didn’t really taste the tea which was kind of a bummer. | <urn:uuid:006ef27b-4391-4323-80c5-d37fd65747ee> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | http://www.killerbunniesinc.com/2014/09/vegan-mofo-day-29-alices-tea-cup-rooibos-oatmeal-butterscotch-chip-cookies/ | 2020-04-02T04:20:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370506580.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200402014600-20200402044600-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.966452 | 265 |
History, as we have established earlier, is replete with mysteries, conflicts and grandeur. And now, we will prove that history does indeed repeat itself through perplexing scenarios, flummoxing incidents, and confusing variables. So, without further ado, let us take a gander at ten of the most baffling coincidences from the expansive ambit of past events.
1) Romulus and Romulus –
The twin brothers Romulus and Remus were considered the legendary founders of Rome, being sired by either the war god Mars or the demi-god Hercules, but nourished by a she-wolf (or lupa in Latin). According to the legend, the very name Rome came from Romulus, after he killed his twin, and successfully established a new settlement on the Palatine Hill in 753 BC. Romulus was also said to create Rome’s very first legions and the senate – which ultimately paved the way for the mighty Roman Republic of the ancient world.
Oddly enough, the very last Western Roman emperor was also named Romulus Augustus. Often nicknamed as “Romulus Augustulus” (Augustulus meaning ‘little Augustus’), he might have inherited the crown at a very young age of 12 years (after the previous emperor Julius Nepos was unceremoniously deposed) – thus effectively making his father Orestes the true power-holder. Anyhow, his paltry 10-month old rule came to an abrupt end, when Germanic warlord Odoacer forcefully took the crown for himself in 476 AD, thus signalling the end of the Western Roman Empire. And, in case you are wondering – Romulus Augustus took the Romulus title from his maternal grandfather; and so it was not directly related to the legendary founder who supposedly lived almost 1,200 years earlier to him.
2) The deaths of Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams –
July 4, better known as the American Independence Day, was also the day when two of United States’ eminent presidents breathed their last. Quite peculiarly, both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on not only the same day, but also in the very same year 1826 (James Monroe, the fifth president of US, also died on July 4, but in the year 1831) . And, if you are supporter of round figures – this date was exactly 50 years after the alleged signing of the Declaration of Independence, in July 4, 1776!
Now, we did use the term ‘alleged’, because according to some modern estimates, July 4 was probably not the day that the ceremonious signing took place. Instead the date might have actually been on August 2, 1776 – when a clean copy was finally acquired by Timothy Matlack, who was the assistant to the secretary of Congress. But that’s another story altogether, unrelated to the coincidence in question here.
And, since we brought that up – it is widely believed that John Adams uttered the poignant words “Jefferson survives,” before he died; but in truth, Thomas Jefferson breathed his last about 5 hours earlier than Adams. Then again, this entire episode might have been an embellishment, since no record survives of such a monologue.
3) Good ole friends: Halley’s Comet and Mark Twain –
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, or better known as Mark Twain, was arguably the greatest American humorist of the 19th century. But beyond novels and stories, Twain’s destiny was literally astronomical in every sense of the word. This is because the great writer was born on November 30, 1835 – a date which was just 2 weeks after Halley’s Comet’s closest approach to earth. Later in his life, Twain made a witty remark (among many) –
I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together’.
Quite aptly, his prediction turned out to be correct, with the writer breathing his last in April 21, 1910, which was just one day after the comet’s closest approach to Earth.
4) Wilmer McLean: A man ‘pursued’ by the American Civil War –
The curious case of Wilmer McLean started in July 21, 1861, at the Battle of Bull Run – which was the first major battle of the American Civil War. Much of this history-defining battle was fought on McLean’s property, with the prelude being fueled by Confederate general P.G.T. Beauregard’s decision to use the farmhouse as his headquarters. As such, the Union soldiers considered this civilian residence a legitimate target, which led to a Union fired shell landing and exploding on the house’s very kitchen table.
McLean, being a 47-year old Virginia-based merchant and farmer, had his occupations severely affected by the ongoing war. So, he decided to move to the safer part of the state with his family, and finally settled on a newly established homestead, in a community-town known as Appomattox Courthouse. Queerly enough, after almost four years, the American Civil War followed him to this new settlement, with General Ulysses S. Grant’s (of the Union Army) decision to use McLean’s house as a location for an impromptu parlay with his adversary General Robert E. Lee (of the Confederate Army). Some hours later, the Union commander received the formal surrender of Lee’s forces, with the agreement being sealed inside McLean’s very own living room.
But all didn’t end well for Wilmer McLean, with the soldiers stationed outside the house ransacking and looting the homestead (mostly for souvenirs), just after the surrender was formalized. It is even known that the famed George Armstrong Custer took away the desk upon which the surrender paper was officially drafted. Later on, McLean sardonically said that the American Civil War “started in his front yard and ended in his front parlor”.
5) October 8, 1871 – the day of ‘fires’ –
October 8, 1871, was certainly a foreboding day in US history, with firestorms damaging a whopping 6,100 sq km (2,300 sq mi) of land around the region of Peshtigo, Wisconsin. In fact, this is recorded as the most disastrous fire occurring on American soil, with estimated deaths of over 2,000 people. Some anecdotes from the calamitous event relate to how the sandy beaches turned to glass and rail-cars were tossed – due to the engulfing heat wave that reached over 160 kph (100 mph).
And while, Peshtigo was bombarded by such a firestorm, Chicago (which is 250 miles south of Peshtigo) was also pummeled by nature’s wrath on October 8, 1871 – which resulted in one of the great fires experienced by the city inhabitants. And, oddly enough, that was not all. Beyond Wisconsin and Illinois, even the state of Michigan was severely affected by raging fires, all starting on October 8, 1871.
Now, researchers have looked into this inexplicable historical coincidence of a mass scale; and a few among them have concluded that it might have been the handiwork of methane supplied by the Comet Biela that was spotted over the Midwestern region. Others have provided a hypothesis that the massive fire outbreak may have been caused by an airburst over an existing forest fire. To that end, there had been random reports from Wisconsin on how the state people had witnessed odd occurrences, like – blue flaming orbs, spontaneous ignition events, and even balls of fire. | <urn:uuid:26e2a06f-14b1-46cc-a52c-04991fb8dfdd> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.hexapolis.com/2015/01/17/10-baffling-coincidences-history/ | 2022-06-29T10:10:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103626162.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20220629084939-20220629114939-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.979498 | 1,673 |

Methylcobalamin is a human active B-12, which is found in nature and has the potential to raise our B-12 levels like nothing else. We have found that besides taking B-12 shots, these B-12 patches are the most effective B-12 on the market for helping maintain healthy B-12 levels.
The better choice: Methylcobalamin
The proper form of vitamin B-12 to supplement is called methylcobalamin. This is the form that exists in nature, and it is pre-methylated, meaning it's ready for your biochemistry to put to immediate use. Methylcobalamin has several key advantages over cyanocobalamin:
* Increased absorption
* Better retention in tissues
* Contains no toxic cyanide
* Supports production of SAMe
LATEST RESEARCH - Methylcobalamin
What is the difference between Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin? Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B-12 that is better absorbed than many of the other forms like cyanocobalamin. Actually, Vitamin B12 comes in several kinds including hydroxy-, cyano-, and adenosyl-, but only the methyl form is used in the central nervous system.
Here are some of the many uses and benefits of Methylcobalin The methyl form of B-12 especially protects nerve tissue and brain cells, and promotes healthy sleep.
Methylcobalamin is important because it is delivered more efficiently to nerve tissues than regular B-12. Because of this, Methylcobalamin should be considered in the treatment of all neurological diseases.
Based on its mechanism of action, it can be effective in slowing the progression of hard to treat neurological diseases like ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. Published studies show that high doses can help regenerate neurons and the myelin sheath that protects axons and peripheral nerves. Theraputic doses of Methylcobalamin have also been known to prevent and reverse numbness from nerve damage.
Among the conditions which have responded favorably to Methylcobalamin are, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease,) Alzheimer's disease, Bell's Palsy, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Aging, Insomnia, Immune dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, Schizophrenia, Diabetes, Impotence and Herpes Zoster (Shingles.)
In one study of Alzheimer's patients given Methylcobalamin, the subjects improved their memory, emotions, and ability to communicate. In Alzheimer's or suspected Mercury amalgam related diseases (e.g. MS,) a hidden Vitamin B-12 deficiency has been found, even though the usual blood tests are normal. In one study of patients with chronic, progressive Multiple Sclerosis, 60 mg of Methylcobalamin resulted in clinical improvement in visual and auditory function, but not motor disability.
Methylcobalamin may help prevent Parkinson's disease and slow the progression in those who are already afflicted. Parkinson's is caused by a destruction of brain cells that produce dopamine. Dopamine is produced from the amino acid, L-Dopa. Anyone taking any form of L-Dopa should also take from 5 to 20 mg of Methylcobalamin to enjoy the benefits of L-Dopa for much longer. For best results, it should be taken with Alpha Lipoic Acid. In a sleep study it was shown that Methylcobalamin reduced the amount of time the subjects slept, but the sleep quality was better and subjects awakened refreshed with better alertness and concentration.
Methylcobalamin at 6mg per day for 16 weeks also improved sperm count by 37.5 percent.
In other studies it was found that Methylcobalamin enhances and modulates lymphocytes (white blood cells) by increasing T-Cell (and especially T-helper cells) activity.
In mice, several different kinds of cancerous tumors were suppressed by administration of Methylcobalamin for seven days. These included liver, lung and other tumors.
In a study of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients, all given high dose (25 mg per day) Methylcobalamin showed increases in muscle strength. Methylcobalamin also slows the progression to AIDS in HIV + patients and helps prevent neurological problems. Methylcobalamin also balances the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system (calming when overexcited and stimulating when too calm).
A therapeutic dose for conditions requiring Methylcobalamin would be a minimum of 1500 mcg and a maximum of 6000 mcg per day. No significant therapeutic advantage appears to occur from dosages exceeding this maximum dose; however, it is likely that beneficial physiological effects occur at dosages as low as 100 mcg per day, especially if this dose is given repetitively over time. Methylcobalamin is usually administered in divided doses three times daily. For every day prevention take 1 mg daily under the tongue.

Cyanocobalamin Versus Methylcobalamin
QUESTION: What is the difference between what you call the "active form" of B12 and the standard health food store/ pharmacy brand. Aren't they both "active?"
ANSWER: Cyanocobalamin is the most commonly supplemented form of vitamin B12, but you might be surprised to discover that this form of vitamin B12 does not actually occur in plants or animal tissues. In other words, outside of the chemically synthesized cyanocobalamin that you encounter as B12 in most vitamin supplements, you would be extremely hard pressed to find this compound in nature (in fact you would not be able to find it). As the name implies, cyanocobalamin contains a cyanide molecule. Most people are familiar with cyanide as a poisonous substance. Although the amount of cyanide in a normal B12 supplement is small and from a toxicology point, viewed as insignificant, your body will still need to remove and eliminate this compound. This removal is accomplished through your detoxification systems with substances like glutathione being very important for the elimination of the cyanide.
Compared with cyanocobalamin, it appears that methylcobalamin is better absorbed and retained in higher amounts within your tissues. In simple terms, they are used much more effectively. In general, methylcobalamin is used primarily in your liver, brain and nervous system.
Methylcobalamin is the specific form of B12 needed for nervous system health. Because of this it should be the first form of this vitamin thought of when interested in attempting to optimize the health of the nervous system with vitamin supplementation. Indications of a potential deficiency of B12 in the nervous system might include numbness, tingling, loss of feeling sensation, burning sensations, muscle cramps, nerve pain and slowness of reflexes.
Because of methylcobalamin's importance in nervous system health, it is also an important nutrient for vision. In fact, continued visual work (like work on a computer) often leads to a reduction in something called "visual accommodation". Methylcobalamin can significantly improve visual accommodation, while cyanocobalamin appears to be ineffective.
An elevated level of homocysteine is a metabolic indication of decreased levels of the coenzyme forms of vitamin B12, especially methylcobalamin. Homocysteine has received a tremendous amount of emphasis in the scientific literature because of its associations with heart disease and a variety of other specific health conditions. I have even seen advertisements on television promoting folic acid, as a vitamin needed to lower homocysteine. While this is true, and folic acid does lower homocysteine levels, the combination of methylcobalamin and folic acid appears to work much better.
The most well studied use of methylcobalamin has to do with sleep. Although the exact mechanism of action is not yet clear, it is possible that methylcobalamin is needed for the synthesis of melatonin. Available information indicates that methylcobalamin can modulate melatonin secretion, enhance light-sensitivity, and normalize circadian rhythm (your 24-hour clock). Because of this, individuals supplementing this form of B12 often have improved quality of sleep, often will require slightly less sleep, and will not uncommonly report that they feel a bit more refreshed when waking in the morning. Methylcobalamin is particularly effective when your 24-hour clock is not running smoothly. This may be indicated by a need for excessive sleep, changing sleep-wake cycles, or a tendency to have altered sleep wake patterns. As examples, you might require 10-12 hours of sleep, or you might not feel tired until 2-3 am and you might wake at noon, or you might find that you wake a bit later every day and go to be a bit later every night. Under all of these circumstances the combination of methylcobalamin (about 3000 mcg daily) and exposure to bright light in the morning can help reestablish your 24-hour clock.
Because of methylcobalamin's impact on 24-hour clock and the cycles that feed of this, it is also an important vitamin to regulate your 24-hour release of the stress hormone cortisol. This seems to be particularly important for blood types A and AB. Methylcobalamin also seems to result in a better 24-hour maintenance of body temperature. Typically individuals supplementing this coenzyme form of B12 have higher temperatures in the later hours of the daytime. This usually corresponds with improved alertness at the same time of the day. While this can be of importance to all blood types, low body temperatures seems to be an area of greater challenge for A's and B's.
Vitamin B12: All Cobalamins are not Equal
"Vitamin B12: All Cobalamins are not Equal
Look at your multiple vitamin or B complex bottle. You're probably taking cyanocobalamin, the stable and less expensive form of vitamin B12. Because it is stable, it has a longer shelf life. However, the active form of B12 is methylcobalamin and the two are NOT equal in effectiveness. If you have symptoms of GI disorders, lethargy, confusion, slow thought processes, heart rate variability, atherosclerosis, sleep disorders, or immune dysfunction, you may need the methyl as well as the cobalamin component.
The two vitamin B12 coenzymes known to be metabolically active in humans are methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Vitamin B12 is usually absorbed from the gut from the fermentation of intrinsic factor by intestinal flora. However, production can be disturbed by nutritional deficiencies, intrinsic factor deficiency, bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption, alcohol, and antibiotics. Nitrous oxide anesthesia in surgery and nitric acid from normal metabolism and inflammation also reduce our vitamin B12 levels.
Cobalamins are destroyed by heavy metals and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. (take at different times than vit c). Vitamin B12 deficiency generally increases with age and is common in the elderly.(2)
Both vitamin B12 and folic acid are required for the synthesis of thymidylate, a component of DNA. Lack of adequate DNA synthesis causes many red blood cell precursors (hematopoietic cells) to die in the bone marrow. The development of epithelial cells is also disturbed by thymidylate deficiency. Gut changes due to vitamin B12 deficiency are often related to constipation whereas a folic acid deficiency is generally related to diarrhea. In the brain, the arrest of cell replication due to vitamin B12 deficiency disrupts myelin synthesis, resulting in neural damage in the brain, spinal cord and/or peripheral nerves. Vitamin B12 deficiency can include the following neurological symptoms: numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, unsteadiness, poor muscular coordination, moodiness, mental slowness, poor memory, confusion, agitation, and/or depression.
Vitamin B12 is involved in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It is required in the synthesis of the amino acid methionine, which is involved in choline and betaine utilization. B12 assists in maintaining sulfhydryl (SH) groups in their reduced form for enzyme activity. Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with a decrease of reduced glutathione, needed for cell defense against pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi) and toxins.
Methylcobalamin is a co-factor of methionine synthase, an enzyme that transfers methyl groups to homocysteine to regenerate methionine. Elevated homocysteine levels are a risk factor for coronary artery disease. (11) Methionine can be transformed to S-adenoxylmethionine (SAM) that is involved in a variety of methylation reactions in the body, one of which is alleviating depression.(13)
Methylcobalamin also plays a role in cell-mediated and humoral immune function in rats. In vitamin B12 deficient rats, serum C3, IgM and Ig G factors were found to be lower. There was also an elevation of the ratio of CD4+ CD8- to DC4- CD8+, which reduces the ability to fight off pathogens.(12)
Cyanocobalamin is not biologically active until converted to methylcobalamin, which also means releasing its cyanide. Cyanide can be toxic because it binds the iron (F3+) portion of cytochrome oxidases, preventing its reduction. This binding blocks electron transport and interrupts cellular respiration. Symptoms of sublethal cyanide toxicity include hypotension, tachypnea, and tachycardia.(4)
Cobalamin can bind with cyanide and is therefore effective in reducing cyanide toxicity. However cyanocobalamin is not effective in removing cyanide because the cobalamin is already bound. (3) Since nitroprusside can induce cyanide toxicity, other cobalamins such as hydroxocobalamin should be used to bind with cyanide. Nitroprusside therapies should be minimized in critically ill patients and those with liver or kidney dysfunction.
Large amounts of cyanocobalamin can exacerbate preexisting cyanide toxicity that can result from smoking tobacco, sodium nitroprusside therapy, and phagocytosis. Steve Roach, M.D. writes that "it seems wise to avoid a potentially harmful form of a drug when the more physiologic variety is available and is excreted at a more desirable rate.(7)
Foods fortified with vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) may be a potential problem if cooked. The highest mutation activity in cooked (pyrolysate) vitamins was found in cyanocobalamin (3220 revertants at .025 mumole of cyanocobalamin).(5)
In a comparison of cobalamins against cancer, adenoxylcobalamin was effective against fast-growing malignant cells. Methylcobalamin was effective at elevated concentrations and cyanocobalamin had no effect in slowing the growth of any of the tumor cell lines studied.(6) In studies that show that vitamin B12 has no effect on cancer growth, we need to look closer at whether cyanocobalamin was used instead of the natural coenzyme forms (adenoxylcobalamin and methylcobalamin).
Methylcobalamin enhances synaptic transmission in learning and memory. Ikeuchi and associates studied the effects of methyl-B12 on the electrical activity in hippocampal neurons and found that methyl-B12 increased post-synaptic field potential which lasted more than an hour and increased the electrical currents elicited by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Cyanocobalamin had no effect.(13)
Methylcobalamin plays a role in modulating human circadian rhythms. It accelerates re-entrainment of the activity rhythm to the environmental light-dark cycle. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is involved in relaying photic information to the pineal gland. Methylcobalamin enhanced the field potential in the SCN that lasted an hour. In contrast, cyanocobalamin showed no effect.(16)
Methylcobalamin is also required in donating a methyl group for the synthesis of melatonin. Methylcobalamin supplementation can assist in modulating melatonin secretion, enhancing light-sensitivity, normalizing circadian rhythms and improving sleep-wake cycles. (17)
Methylcobalamin also helps improve heart rate variability, suggesting that it is involved in balancing sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function,(18) perhaps through its involvement with light entrainment and melatonin synthesis. Since circadian rhythm and melatonin synthesis are key factors in health maintenance, the use of cyanocobalamin rather than methylcobalamin is undermining our health as individuals as well as a nation.
Another study found a correlation between serum vitamin B12 in women and their breast milk. When a group of lactating women were injected with cyanocobalamin, there was also an increase of cyanocobalamin in their breast milk.
As early as 1970, Dr. A.G. Freeman protested against the use of cyanocobalamin in The Lancet. He again wrote a letter in 1978, entitled "Why Has Cyanocobalamin Not Been Withdrawn?" to The Lancet and to the British Committee on Safety of Drugs. Dr. Freeman voiced the concern that even if hydroxocobalamin is prescribed, cyanocobalamin is administered in its place. They wrote that "because doctors are still confused about the differences between various forms of vitamin B12 commercially available and about their possible adverse effects, manufacturers should withdraw cyanocobalamin in favor of hydroxocobalamin for therapeutic use." (8)
A letter from Dr. Terry was published in the October, 1978 issue of The Lancet. He wrote that "the lead for improved prescribing must come form compilers of formularies that are highly regarded. In this respect it is disappointing to find that the W.H.O. expert committee on the selection of essentiald rugs lists only cyanocobalamin, placing an incalculable number of patients with optic neuropathy in pernicious anemia or tobacco and tropical amblyopia at risk." (9)
In the November 1978 issue, the Lancet published a letter by J.C.Linnell and associates entitled "Therapeutic Misuse of Cyanocobalamin." The authors state that cyanocobalamin itself has no known biochemical function. Only trace amounts of cyanocobalmin are normally detectable in the human body, while significant amounts occur in patients with optic neuropathies, inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism and pernicious anemia. Cyanocobalamin must first undergo conversion to the physiological forms of cobalamin before being effective against pernicious anemia. However hydroxocobalamin (a precursor to methyl and andenoxylcobalamin) "has the additional advantage of therapeutic efficacy in certain neuropathies and some cases of inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism." The authors further write that "it is lamentable that an extensive demand for cyanocobalamin as a therapeutic agent should persist. There seems to be no place for the continued therapeutic use of cyanocobalamin." (10)
Vitamin B12 is found in algae, peas, clover, alfalfa, mustard, egg yolk, chedder cheese, sardines, herring, anchovies, calve's liver, haddock, salmon, and cow's milk. Plants containing S-methylmethionine include cabbage, kohlrabi, turnip, tomatoes, celery, leeks, garlic, beets, raspberries and strawberries (14). Cyanocobalamin is in haddock and cassava root. Elevated amounts of cyanocobalamin have been found in smokers and cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and optic atrophy.
Clinical doses of methylcobalamin are 1500-6000 mcg per day and can be administered orally, intramuscularly or intravenously with positive clinical results. Methylcobalamin is well tolerated and has no known toxicity. B complex (riboflavin, folic acid, pyridoxine, and choline), and zinc assist methylcobalamin effectiveness. It is important that physicians giving injections check the source of their vitamin B12. Not only can it be cyano rather than methylcobalamin, but the shot gun approach of giving liver extract can include allergenics. One report states that 10-30% of pharmaceutical preparations may be noncobalamin analogues, that are either inactive or cause allergic reactions. (1)
In conclusion, methylcobalamin can be effective in cases of neuropathy, depression, cancer, optic atrophy, heart rate variability, homocysteinemia, and sleep disturbances. However, all cobalamin analogues are not equal and taking cyanocobalamin with already elevated levels of cyanide can actually be harmful. It has been thirty years since Dr. Freeman first published a letter in The Lancet about the risks of using cyanocobalamin. How much longer can we afford to allow ignorance and profit motives to undermine our nation's health?

Whether you are looking to move or are just interested in how the UK shapes up for quality of life, Uswitch's Best Places to Live in The UK Quality of Life Index is a study you may find interesting.
Using data for various aspects of quality of life from 2015, we have calculated where each of the 138 statistical regions of the UK sits comparatively in a league table of the best places to live. We've also looked at how this data differs from our last study in 2013, to see where some places have improved and others have slipped down the table.
Nottingham in the East Midlands is a place whose statistics have improved since the previous Uswitch study of quality of life in 2013, though not dramatically, rising up from position 110 on our list to 102nd in 2015. Here are some of the statistics for Nottingham that were used in our 2015 study of quality of life in the UK:
When it comes to general employment rates, Nottingham's statistics are on the poor side of average with a very low 63% of the population in employment. This is better than in the UK's lowest employment region of Liverpool which has 59% employment, but significantly worse than the rest of the East Midlands and England as a whole.
Incomes in Nottingham are fairly good with the average gross weekly income for Nottingham individuals in 2015 at £471.10. Household annual disposable income in Nottingham is exceptionally low, however, at £11,757.
House prices are very low in the statistical region of Nottingham, with the average house in 2015 costing £110k. Rent, however, is comparatively high at £73 per week.
The life expectancy from birth in Nottingham is well below average for the UK as a whole, especially for men at 82 for women and 77 for men.
There is a five year gap here between men and women, where in the vast majority of places in our study it is four years.
The cost of living in Nottingham is roughly average for the UK with a weekly food shop for a Nottingham household costing £55. Petrol is, however, among the most expensive in the UK at 120p.
Other Important Factors
Nottingham has especially good mobile phone signal, with 99% of the region getting signal – this is fairly normal in statistical regions that comprise just one fairly big city. The average 2015 broadband speeds in Nottingham are very good too, at 31.4Mbps.
Use our broadband postcode checker to see which deals and what speeds are on offer in your area.
There are pros and cons to every place in the United Kingdom, however Nottingham ranks in the bottom portion of our table for quality of life in 2015 due to things like low disposable income and poor employment figures.
More to life than rankings
At Uswitch, we know that there is more to life than rankings, stats and figures, and our Qualify of Life Index merely highlights the vast differences in the experiences of people across the UK.
Whether you're living in the best city or the worst, millions of households in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland face financial struggles including rising energy bills and credit card debt. That's why it's more important than ever for households to assess their budgets, and Uswitch.com offers a great way to start.
Below you can find ways to save on everything from car insurance to mobile bills.
Place to Live 2015 — Where did your region rank?
About the research
The Uswitch.com study assessed 138 local areas (NUTS3 regions) for 26 factors such as salaries, disposable household income, and the cost of essential goods including food bills, fuel costs and energy bills. The study also factored in lifestyle issues like hours of sunshine, working hours and life expectancy to ensure a full picture of the quality of life in each NUTS3 region.

Performance Qualification Autoclaves Hospital
The advent of new regulations on the production of sterile products, the ever-increasing demand for controls and certifications, aimed at guaranteeing the health of the patient, increasing the quality of the service offered and, last but not least, protecting the users of sterilizers in the event of disputes, have led to the creation of a division specialized in the validation activity.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) has issued standards aimed at establishing the construction requirements for sterilising machines for medical devices (European Standard) EN 285.
Consequently, the standard that regulates the systematic control and validation of the sterilization process: EN 554.
There is also the UNI EN 13060 (2006) standard that regulates the production and controls of small autoclaves (< 54 litres). We then come to January 2007 to find the EN554 replaced by the new UNI EN 17665-1 that defines the requirements for the development, validation and routine control for steam sterilization of medical devices. In 2009, EN 17665-1 was implemented by the 2 part. At the same time, both EN 285 and EN 13060 are renewed in the 2009 and 2016 versions. Over the years, the machines have been continuously renewed in search of the best performance, compliance with increasingly stringent standards, and obtaining competitive prices to maintain a significant presence in the sterilization market. The guidelines provided by ISPESL (Italian “safety “ authority) in 2010 were also certainly useful: "GUIDELINES ON STERILIZATION ACTIVITIES AS A COLLECTIVE PROTECTION BY ORGANIC AGENTS FOR THE OPERATOR IN THE HEALTH STRUCTURES" which contributed significantly to clarifying the roles of the persons involved and the operating procedures themselves. The evolution of recent years has meant that virtually all European health care facilities proceed to carry out checks on their sterilization process through the service of Performance Qualification (namely Validation).
With the development of the latest generation of machines, the accompanying documentation is now more complete and officially required by norm: IQ (Installation Qualification) OQ (Operational Qualification) and PQ (Performance Qualification) are composing the “validation”. The three phases have now to be executed both by the manufacturer (or its authorized) and a third party (regarding the PQ) with no involvement with any the previous as a guarantee of his independence.
Our service focuses – as an independent entity – mainly on the execution of this last phase.
In the field of sterilization in general, the market for medical practices (dentists, surgeons, private clinics…) still needs to be homogeneously integrated. Unlike the provisions of laws, regulations and guidelines, for reasons not understood and completely arbitrary, in some European countries (like Italy for example) they still feel excluded from the application of procedures to verify and harmonize their internal sterilization processes. The same (geographic) regions that in some cases have issued precise local regulations, do not then provide for the verification of the application of these procedures or what is worse are struggling to free themselves, through regional “recommendations”, some categories (…dentists, for example) even by the application of European regulations on the need for an unspecified “simplification” in practice leading to the acceptance of an acquired sterilization “A” division (hospital) and a lower division (“B”) dedicated to the use and consumption of the above categories, …. but there are no division “A” and division “B” infections! | <urn:uuid:f4bf031b-0162-4479-86be-db6db20b6ee1> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.tectronik.it/en/services/ | 2023-03-27T09:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948620.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20230327092225-20230327122225-00139.warc.gz | en | 0.933606 | 751 |
I am really not sure why, but I have a troll who continually pounds on how Michigan quarterback Chad Henne is dominant and that Ohio State sucks compared to Henne.
Seriously. He does. I reject his comments based on sheer stupidity and ignorance of fact.
So, for the fun of it, I looked into the numbers;
Chad Henne vs. Ohio State - 73-125, 818 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT
Troy Smith vs. Michigan - 69-101, 857 yards, 7 TD, 1 INT
More yards, more touchdowns on fewer attempts...and fewer interceptions.
Chad Henne - 10 rushes, negative-43 yards
Troy Smith - 33 rushes, 194 yards
That kinda says it all.
The Buckeyes and Wolverines have played 180 minutes of football with Chad Henne on the team.
Ohio State has held the lead for 115 minutes and 55 seconds.
Michigan has held the lead for 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
And by the way, Ohio State has held the lead as the clock ran out in all three games against Chad Henne.
But for good measure, I merely must post this one more time.....
In conclusion...dude, Chad Henne is a good quarterback....but he wets himself when he sees scarlet and gray. Please don't try to convince me that Henne "dominates" Ohio State. I actually do watch the games. I know better. | <urn:uuid:a121027b-e62a-48a6-8e71-6bdb11d468ad> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://buckeyebattlecry.blogspot.com/2007/02/chad-henne-chad-henne.html | 2015-05-04T18:04:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430454809062.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501043329-00034-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965397 | 301 |

I enjoy sharing and teaching these talents and abilities with kids and adults. I bring a positive, helpful, fun attitude. I love to learn and I'm open to new things. I'm honest, hardworking, dependable, and work well with others. Clear communication is important to me in order to reduce conflicts, help me receive and follow directions, and create mutual understanding.

Over the years, one of the biggest criticisms of the Chiefs under Andy Reid was the team’s struggles against top-tier quarterbacks.
After the 2016 season, that criticism is no longer valid. Former 610 sports radio host Nick Wright tweeted an interesting stat on Tuesday:
Wow. Going 8-0 against that crop of QBs is not an easy task. I wonder if the Patriots would still have finished 14-2 had they played the same opponents as the Chiefs did in 2016.
On Wright’s list of best QBs beaten by New England, you could probably add Andy Dalton and Tyrod Taylor as well. Those guys aren’t great/elite QBs, but they’re certainly good. Still, those guys don’t compare to the list Wright has for Kansas City.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs have two great quarterbacks that could stand in their way: Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. Ryan Tannehill could also be an option if the Dolphins upset Pittsburgh and New England, although I’d probably pump the breaks on calling Tannehill “great” for now.
KC already played Roethlisberger once this season and the Chiefs were blown out. Playing them a second time could be an advantage, as the Chiefs would have home-field advantage, a more polished team and a full scouting report on Pittsburgh.
The big question here though is if KC can beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. In last year’s playoffs the Chiefs couldn’t get it done. But with weapons like Tyreek Hill on their side and a highly opportunistic defense, Kansas City might have a better chance at taking out the Pats this time around. | <urn:uuid:e6d23b36-d56a-4885-b924-32f82f2bf947> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2017/01/03/chiefs-beat-a-ton-of-great-qbs-in-2016/ | 2017-03-26T07:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189130.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00238-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967543 | 350 |

Instacart is reportedly set to announce a new feature tomorrow that allows shoppers (the Instacart workers who go into the stores on behalf of customers) to have immediate access to money they’ve earned, rather than having to wait a week to get paid.
We say “set to announce” because it looks like TechCrunch published an embargoed story today, a day before Instacart was going to announce the new feature. But enough inside baseball. The new option is called Instant Cashout, and it was created in partnership with payment processor, Stripe. With Cashout, Instacart’s shoppers can choose to have the money they earn transferred immediately to a debit card rather than waiting for their payment. Cashout will be available at first in Boston, MA and Bend, OR, and will reach all shoppers by June 2019.
As TechCrunch points out, the move comes after a tumultuous time in labor relations between Instacart and the workers it brings on as shoppers. The delivery startup had to reverse an earlier policy that counted tips towards base wages, and prior to that in 2017, Instacart settled a class action lawsuit over how it classified its shoppers.
Instant payment isn’t a new concept, however, and Instacart is behind the times compared with other gig economy startups like Uber, Lyft and Postmates, which already offer a similar feature. Outside of startupland, a company called (appropriately enough) Instant, helps restaurants like McDonald’s (franchisees) and Outback Steakhouse create a daily paycheck plan for their employees.
Instacart has raised nearly $2 billion dollars, and being so tight-fisted with money earned by the workers on the front line of its service isn’t a good look. This is especially true as the delivery space gets more heated. DoorDash is delivering groceries, Postmates has an IPO planned and grocers like Kroger are testing self-driving cars, which would eliminate the need for a delivery person at all.
If Instacart wants to stay competitive, it’s going to have to make working there competitive as well. Instant cashout a lets puts the company on par with its rivals. | <urn:uuid:abe24d68-cba5-44b5-a507-a0b6fe0e09cf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thespoon.tech/new-feature-lets-instacarts-shoppers-immediately-cashout-money-earned/ | 2022-08-09T16:37:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571056.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809155137-20220809185137-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.969953 | 457 |

Through a glorious haze of candy floss pink, enter the world of Juno Calypso. Her darkly comic, offbeat self-portraiture is placing her firmly at the centre of the European photography scene. Working alone, often as her fictional character Joyce, Calypso’s meticulously staged performances use absurd beauty rituals to explore the construction of femininity and challenge notions of perfection. We meet her at her London home to discuss a new set of pictures taken exclusively for PORT.
My introduction to Juno Calypso was a picture entitled ‘Popcorn Venus’. In this elaborately orchestrated performance, we see Joyce in a blonde wig, glasses, false teeth and lashes so heavy they weigh on her eyelids. She is standing in a giant powder-pink birthday cake surrounded by prawn cocktails and ’80s party food, looking rather bemused. Sitting in Juno’s bedroom in Dalston, surrounded by recognisable wigs, costumes and cans of bizarre meat, I feel like I’m in one of her pictures. It’s the room she was born in, and the place she spends most of her time researching her projects. I ask her about the early work. “It was not the first time I had presented myself as Joyce, but ‘Popcorn Venus’ was my first big staged picture,” she tells me. “It was for my degree show, the show that would present me to the world.
“At university, I had been introduced to the work of the photographer Jeff Wall. The main thing you hear about him is that he will often take six months to set up one picture. I thought, ‘This sounds wonderful. I have three’,” she remembers. “I got the idea from the Addams Family, where they cook the cake with the stripper inside it. I thought, ‘That’s a good dark reference’.” This dark humour is integral to Juno’s work. She encourages her audience to laugh at the character they see in her photographs. But Joyce, however, is not passive; she’s very much in on the joke. Last year, Juno went on a one-woman honeymoon tour, renting rooms in a love hotel in Pennsylvania while telling those she met that she was a travel writer. Home to a salmon-coloured, heart-shaped bath encircled by mirrors, and a huge circular bed with a skylight, the hotel was the perfect location for Joyce to perform pre-marital fantasies.
“These hotels haven’t changed décor since the ’60s. One man designed the whole thing and it’s a mess… a time warp,” she tells me. “I thought: surely a million fashion photographers must have used this. But they hadn’t. It was the underdog. That’s what I liked about it.” Though her work is sophisticated and takes time to conceive, Calypso is not interested in making perfect pictures. She sees the struggle for perfection in photography, which mirrors anxieties she, as a young woman, has felt. Anxieties of trying to achieve the perfect body, the perfect self. Working alone with camera and remote control, she plays out bizarre beauty rituals in order to critique contrived constructions of femininity.
To me, Juno’s art is not ostensibly about femininity. It’s about identity and isolation. She is confronting the notion of self – whether that be male or female. At the beginning, Joyce was key to the performance… a mask or veil. But as Juno evolves, the line separating her from Joyce becomes less defined. “She’s an elusive, shapeshifting character,” Juno says.
