Volkswagen’s commitment, among major automakers at least, to battery-powered zero emissions vehicles is second to none. Yes, General Motors is throttling up its EV program — it was, after all, the excuse to shut down the Oshawa Assembly Plant — and no one can fault Nissan for the money it has put behind its Leaf. But it all pales compared with the vigour, resources and engineering that the Volkswagen Group has thrown at lithium ion, the world’s largest automaker recently committing no less than US$40 billio

Kiwi Summer Holiday Experiences
June 2018 | By Tourism New Zealand | 2 minute read
Traditionally Kiwi summer holidays take place in the great outdoors and - in a country with almost endless coastline, a myriad of inland lakes, rivers and mountain streams - that’s usually somewhere near water where water-based activities provide the best place to enjoy the summer sun.
There’s a holiday destination with a pace to suit every style - from busy beach resorts to tranquil lakesides, easily accessed wilderness campsites or remote wayside spots for high energy trampers and hikers.
The festive holiday season brings extended families together, many gathering at campsites or at the family holiday home - called either a bach or a crib depending on the region.
Small and rustic with tents and caravans on the lawn, or more extensive contemporary houses, a bach is the place of long relaxing weekends and extended holidays where memories are made.
Camping grounds are also popular holiday spots and a good place to meet the locals. Generations of campers return year-after-year with their tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes to the same camping sites where they’re ‘at home’ in a regular holiday neighbourhood.
Many family baches and holiday homes are available for rent over the holiday period, and there are extensive networks of campsites throughout the country. The Department of Conservation (DOC) is in the process of opening or developing 100-plus new wilderness campsites.
Summer holiday activities
Summer holiday activities typically involve swimming, boating, fishing, snorkeling, surfing, waterskiing, kayaking, beach cricket, sandcastle or dam building, hiking or tramping, and getting together with friends and family at picnics and barbecues.
Lots of kiwi families own their own boat, in some form or other - yachts, jet boats, motor and rowing boats, or kayaks are popular summertime means of transport. Auckland is known as the ‘city of sails’ for good reason, and there, as well as in many other centres throughout the country, yachting regattas are a regular feature of the summer seascape.
The New Zealand passion for water and sports has even seen the development of new thrills - jet boats and blokarting (a form of windsurfing on wheels) are two examples of what happens when kiwi ingenuity gets into gear.
Picnics and barbecues
No true kiwi holiday would be complete without its share of picnics, barbecues, and casual summer meals. It’s a great time of the year for foodies because vegetables and fruit are at their freshest and best, and - if there are fishermen in the family - fish and seafood ready for harvest. Otherwise, there’s usually a food store or outdoor café somewhere near.
It’s also the season of wine festivals, town and country agricultural shows, race meetings, and when many local pubs and parks feature live music and entertainment as well known New Zealand artists take to the road on extensive summer road tours.
Kiwis on the roads
If you are on the road in New Zealand this summer, please watch out for our precious kiwis. The Department of Conservation has issued a warning to motorists to take care - especially north of Auckland - that they don’t inadvertently run into any little brown flightless birds.

One of the country's biggest credit ratings agencies has put Green Tree Servicing on negative watch following a report that the company failed several compliance metrics established by the 2012 National Mortgage Settlement (NMS).
In a release, Fitch Ratings announced it is changing Green Tree's servicer grades to "Rating Watch Negative," citing "ongoing concerns with Green Tree's rapid growth and portfolio integration" as well as the results of the latest compliance update from the Office of the Mortgage Settlement Oversight (OSMO), which showed the servicer failed to meet some of the minimum requirements agreed to by some of the nation’s biggest outfits.
Green Tree joined those ranks last year when parent company Walter Investment Management Corp. acquired servicing rights on part of a portfolio formerly held by Residential Capital.
In a statement at the time, Mark J. O'Brien, CEO of Walter Investment, said the firm "is committed to maintaining a highly compliant environment that focuses on high standards of customer service," adding that the servicer will work to address and correct any problem areas in a timely manner.
However, Fitch still has its doubts, saying the OSMO report "indicates some procedures and controls challenges in [Green Tree's] servicing of the recently acquired Residential Capital LLC (ResCap) loans."
Fitch's update follows an April announcement in which the agency assigned Green Tree a Negative Outlook based partly on the company's growth and on higher servicing expectations from regulators.
At the same time, Fitch notes that Green Tree's implementation of the NMS standards happened on an accelerated schedule compared to the other firms reviewed, which may have contributed to any failures on its part.
As of the end of the first quarter, Fitch estimates Green Tree's servicing portfolio consisted of nearly 1.9 million loans with an unpaid principal balance of $196 billion. Approximately 14 percent of that portfolio is subject to OSMO oversight, according to Fitch.
The rating watch was applied to six of Green Tree's products, including prime and subprime, and indicates “that there is a heightened probability of a rating change and the likely direction of such a change,” Fitch says. | <urn:uuid:c0a77ec9-de32-4e73-af9d-91f71579bda9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dsnews.com/news/06-06-2014/fitch-green-tree-servicing-moved-rating-watch-negative | 2022-08-18T16:37:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573242.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818154820-20220818184820-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.965311 | 438 |

LANDOVER, Md., July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Epilepsy Foundation, a national organization dedicated to serving all people with seizures, today launched the Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence (SEAL), an award that recognizes groundbreaking and innovative product development programs deemed by the Foundation as deserving of significant and urgent support. The launch of the SEAL is part of the Foundation's strategic mandate to recognize critical advancements in the field of epilepsy. The SEAL is designed to facilitate access to funding and resources that will carry the recipient's work through proof of concept (PoC) and beyond, which typically costs from $1 million to $5 million dollars.
The award is given after intense scrutiny by the Scientific and Business Advisory Boards of the Epilepsy Foundation's Epilepsy Therapy Project (ETP) Initiative. ETP is focused on identifying and accelerating the most innovative epilepsy products in development. The SEAL includes a prize of $25,000 and the privilege of using the Foundation's Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence in advancing their efforts (http://www.epilepsy.com/etp/seal_of_excellence).
The Epilepsy Foundation is honored to announce the recipients of the first two SEAL awards:
"When it comes to money spent on research and innovation, the epilepsy community is tremendously underserved -- especially in comparison to medical conditions of similar or smaller prevalence," said Roger J. Porter, MD, Chief Scientific Officer of the Epilepsy Foundation. "With this SEAL, we have recognized innovative projects in urgent need of funding and resources."
The Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence will be awarded biannually by the Epilepsy Foundation. Companies, investigators and researchers engaged in product development are encouraged to share research and product development programs of high merit and proof of concept with the Foundation (http://my.epilepsy.com/etp/seal_of_excellence/about).
"The Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence represents our commitment to advancing important new products for the betterment of persons with epilepsy worldwide," said Philip M. Gattone, President and CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation. "Our first prize winners were selected for their potential to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy in a timeframe that matters. I hope support from the Epilepsy Foundation helps mobilize funding from other investors, government agencies and industry participants to make these important innovations real options for people with epilepsy. "
"The Epilepsy Therapy Project's mandate is to accelerate pioneering epilepsy research, especially with near-term potential, and we recognize the need to assist in finding resources for critical but expensive innovations," said Warren Lammert, Chairman of the Board of the Epilepsy Foundation. "The Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence is an expression of our commitment to build the Epilepsy Foundation as a leader in driving new therapies and other innovations."
When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they have epilepsy, which affects nearly three million people in the United States and 65 million people worldwide. This year, another 200,000 people in our country will be diagnosed with epilepsy. Despite all available treatments, four out of 10 people with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures while many more experience less than optimal seizure control.
About the Epilepsy Foundation
The Epilepsy Foundation, a national non-profit with affiliated organizations throughout the United States, has led the fight against seizures since 1968. The Foundation's goals are to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and to prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research, so not another moment is lost to seizures.

It always brings a smile to my face and volume to my monitors when I see a new Hotfingers release. The easily recognizable album artwork of the label founded by none other than Manuel De La Mare, Alex Kenji and Luigi Rocca was immediately destined for success. Starting off the year with a delightful house original called Everybody from Mike Newman, Hotfingers snaps out another banging release from Blackwhited (pictured) & M4X appropriately titled Bring The Bass.
Beginning with a punchy drum loop, Bring The Bass does not hesitate to live up to the title of the track. Pulsing waves of synth drive this track forward with a catchy vocal chop interspersed between them. The early breakdown features piano arpeggios that are immediately followed by anthemic piano chords suited to excite the audience. This track is an energetic weapon that is bound to be reverberating in the clubs soon. If you fancy a copy, pick the original up on Beatport and enjoy. | <urn:uuid:9711469b-2eb1-4a7d-afca-4434d8e936d6> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.lessthan3.com/news/blackwhited-m4x-bring-the-bass | 2016-12-06T21:54:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542002.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00150-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94211 | 200 |

Driver shot during Iberville police chase was fleeing law enforcement with his family in the car
WHITE CASTLE - The suspect in a police chase took his wife and child along for the flight in a Friday afternoon pursuit that ended when officers shot the man in the leg.
Authorities said Plaquemine Police were initially investigating a report of gunfire in town when officers issued an alert about a possible vehicle involved. Later, White Castle Police noticed the vehicle and, when the driver refused to stop, gave chase.
At some point, the fleeing vehicle crashed on Bowie Street in White Castle near the library where the driver was shot in the leg by police. Sources told WBRZ the fleeing vehicle wrecked after officers performed a maneuver, forcing the fleeing driver to come to a stop.
On Friday evening, State Police released a statement saying the suspect was shot after officers saw he was armed. The suspect was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries.
The driver’s wife and child were taken to a hospital to be examined for injuries related to the wreck. Their names have not been released.

After less than two years of marriage, Lyssa Chapman all but kicked husband Bo Galanti out, because he allegedly abused her several times.
Lyssa Chapman married Bo Galanti in February 2009. They each brought a daughter into the relationship and had a third daughter together in August 2009. But happiness was apparently not part of the deal.
In her auto-biography, released in 2013, Lyssa tells the reader about her tragic childhood, involving an alcoholic mother, a drug-abusing father, and sexual abuse by a friend of her father. She had her first child at only 15, but was abandoned by her mother and the child’s father was not in the picture either. Apparently he was in his early twenties at the time and when his identity came to light, he was charged with sexual abuse, because Lyssa was still underage.
Clearly Lyssa didn’t have an easy life and she was only 22 when she married her now ex-husband. During their marriage Bo allegedly assaulted Lyssa on four occasions. At least once she felt compelled to flee to her father’s house, which was just across the street from her own. But she would not press charges against her then-husband, apparently she didn’t want it all over the news and she seemed to believe that Bo would change his ways.
Her family, and especially her father, didn’t agree with the situation and threatened to hurt Bo, if anything else happened. Fortunately it never came to that. They would likely have been arrested and could have made things worse for everyone involved.
It took Lyssa until 2011, after having been through marriage counselling, to end her marriage and leave Bo Galanti for good. She went on record saying that despite the abuse, there is still love and the hope that the other person will change.
No one who has never experienced an abusive relationship will ever understand what keeps the abused person with their abuser. It seems to be against all reason and sensibility. And it is always easy to say for someone on the outside looking in, that the abuser will never change, that the abused must leave the relationship, and that it’s not worth it.
But if you ask the abused person, they will cling to love, hope, or fear, perhaps all of the above. Lyssa Chapman had her family to help her get out of the relationship and back her up. She has been through a lot in her young life and her book seems to suggest that she came out stronger on the other end. She also wants to help women, who have been through something similar, which is remarkable in itself.
It is not clear when her divorce from Bo Galanti was finalized precisely, but apparently not long after she filed it in early 2011. It is also not known, if she ever did press charges against her ex-husband. In any case, she is certainly better off without him. | <urn:uuid:ca064285-146d-4c65-98d7-963716347e5d> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.divorcedebbie.com/lyssa-chapman-divorce-bo-galanti/ | 2017-12-14T15:08:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948544677.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214144324-20171214164324-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.993862 | 605 |

Well, for each filter we need to store
1. a pointer to where in the wheel we are
2. the prime by which to multiply the steps of the wheel
3. the current value of the filter (which number to reject next)
I don't see how to use less. It's not much, but it's not zero storage.

This petition is to demand justice for Dr. Joy Laskar, formerly at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). His case exemplifies violations of academic freedom and absence of due process. Dr. Laskar was employed by Georgia Tech from 1995 to 2011 and was not only tenured but held the Schlumberger Chair in Microelectronics. Until May 16, 2010, Dr. Laskar graduated 41 Ph.D. students, brought in more than $50 million of funding to the university, and was one of the most prolific researchers at the institute. On May 17, 2010, officials within Georgia Tech and its licensing arm, the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), made allegations of malfeasance against Dr. Laskar that he misappropriated funds for his own benefit and for the benefit of his start-up company, Sayana Wireless, which was to be auctioned on May 17, 2010. Yet, Georgia Tech and GTRC management remains fully aware (1) Sayana is a Georgia Tech incubated company, and (2) GTRC itself is a minority owner of the company, and stands to benefit from its sale and (3) Dr. Laskar acted appropriately and within the known Georgia Tech and GTRC guidelines. (4) Dr. Laskar neither misappropriated funds nor did anything illegal. For the past three years, Georgia Tech and GTRC have acted without regard to the laws of the state of Georgia and disseminated untruths to the media and discussed the status of Dr. Laskar's employment and dismissal with third parties. Georgia Tech and GTRC have wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars and wasted thousands of hours of time of the Office of the Attorney General of Georgia by weaving together untruths, listening to office politics and encouraging Dr. Laskar's arrest (without indictment) September 24, 2010, in an attempt to disgrace him. Dr. Laskar has already won two civil suits he brought against the institute, for violating its own policies for suspension without pay, and for failing to adhere to the Georgia Open Records Act. He is also appealing his wrongful termination in civil court. Now, a lawsuit is working its way through the federal court system on behalf of Centric, a company that acquired part of Sayana Wireless. Please sign this petition in support of: 1. The Georgia attorney general’s office dismissing the state racketeering charges against Dr. Laskar. 2. GT and GTRC returning Dr. Laskar’s personal and professional property to him. 3. GT reinstating Dr. Laskar’s tenure and restoring his reputation. 4. The officials within GT and GTRC who instigated the situation publicly apologizing for their reprehensible behavior. Thank you very much for your time and for giving this matter the attention it deserves.
He is one the best RF/mmWave circuit designers I have known. This country is about innovation and pursuing your dreams. It looks like the university jumped the gun on this one.

So, Fall is definitely in the air, and with that comes the frosty nights that tend to put an end to all my summer plants. I would love to take them all inside with me, but since it would look like a jungle, I will have to say good bye to the summer lovelies and embrace the mums and fall foliage (which I love too).
I do keep a few house plants at all times (the ones I manage to keep alive that is), but wanted to add a little Autumn theme to them, and at the same time bring about some uniformity to mismatched flower pots! What better way to accomplish both than with BURLAP (I am in love with burlap).
So, with a few yards of burlap, scissors and hot glue gun, I set about with the flower pot makeover!
I uprooted some fun grasses growing in my back yard and planted it in a ugly plastic pot. I cut a square of burlap, wrapped it around the pot, and tied it with faux leather string. Voila!
Picture of my yellow flower pot
Red flower pot (my plant needs revived)
Pull the thread all the way out of the material, and then cut along the line made by the missing fiber. This will ensure that your cut will be straight.
Here is the Yellow Flower Pot makeover
This is the Red Flower Pot makeover.
I love the way you can take any color, shape, or size flower pot and make them compliment each other simply by adding burlap. The burlap not only gives these plants the rustic flair I'm looking for, but, because the material is really porous I can still water them and allow the extra water to escape through the burlap. Now to grab a cup of coffee!

I disagree with Paul Michel and Matthew Dowd, (Wall Street Journal, 1/24/2020, link below), that our patent laws do not give adequate and clear protection to inventions. Conversely, we have become too liberal in both what is allowed to be patented and the length of time that patents are granted.
They urge the reversal by Congress of the Supreme Court of rulings that prohibit the granting of patents for “abstract ideas” and “natural phenomena”. Abstract ideas, like mathematical formulas, computer code, or simple ideas drawn on paper, and natural phenomena, like the discovery of particular DNA or naturally occurring chemical compounds, should not be patentable.
Originally, U.S. patents had a maximum life of 14 years, then 17 years, and then 20 years. Companies that earn billions of dollars in profits every year on their patents are very willing to spend many millions of dollars to lobby congress to extend their monopolies. Who spends money lobbying to reduce the term of patents? Shouldn’t the term of monopoly protection granted depend in part on how much it costs to meet government regulations related to the invention? For example, prescription drugs may deserve a long patent term because of the cost to meet government regulations. But there is no logical reason why all patents should be granted for the same length of time. (Design patents are granted for shorter periods, but why should they be granted at all?)
The concept of “intellectual property” is man-made. Since time immemorial, humans have copied one another. For millennia legally protected private property was limited to physical property which could only be possessed by one person at a time. Ideas can be possessed by many people at the same time without infringing on the physical property of others and without the use of force. Monopolies, including the exclusive use of inventions, were originally granted by Kings to favored subjects through the use of force. Our government protects patents through the use of force. Contrary to the Founder’s intent, some patents appear to slow innovation rather than encourage it. The case can be made that no patents should be granted. In this case, Congress should expand patent protection.

At a hearing of the House Education and Workforce Committee on Wednesday, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan defended the administration’s budget proposal for FY2013. Committee Chair John Kline (R-MN) repeated the charges from a March 20 House Appropriations hearing: that the administration’s decision to pour billions in new spending into competitive grant programs while maintaining current funding for traditional formula grants disadvantages those students served by the formula grants, particularly special education and low-income students. The administration received criticism for this move from both parties. Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (D-OH) said that the sizeable grant awarded to her state through the Race to the Top program might have done more good distributed among almost all the districts to help defray budget shortages from impending state education cutbacks. Secretary Duncan also warned lawmakers to make a deal as soon as possible to avoid significant budget sequestration cuts scheduled for January, as states are already trying to set their education budgets for the fall.
On Tuesday, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) suggested that federal funding for elementary and secondary education be changed to more closely resemble federal higher education funding, where students receive a federal aid package that they can apply at their choice of institution. “If you took the amount of money the federal government spends today on education and thought of it as a Pell grant for kids, that would be $1,700 per student and $3,400 for lower-income kids,” he said at a meeting of the Council of Chief State School Officers. He argued that federal spending on K-12 education should be directed to the individual students rather than to the institutions. Sen. Alexander sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee and served as secretary of education under President George H.W. Bush.

Interpreting TerraNova Scores
By Inderbir Kaur Sandhu, Ph.D
I am not familiar with how to interpret the test results
from the TerraNova. Can you please tell me what the
"average" score would be? Also, the scores are abbreviated
as NP, NS, NCE, SS. Would you also please clarify what each
of these mean. NP-National Percentile? SS-Standard Score? I
have to look at these scores in order to decide on the
correct placement level for high school students. I hope you
A: Unfortunately, I am only
familiar with the TerraNova based on reading and available
information - I have not administered this test.
I would try to help you with the information I have on NP,
NS, NCE and SS.
National Percentiles (NP)
Represents the percentage of students in the national norm
group whose scores fall below a given student's score. This
means, a student whose NP is 72 for instance, scored higher
than 72 percent of the students in the norm group. NPs
scores are useful for comparing local student achievement to
students' achievement at the national level.
National Stanine (NS)
A scale that divides the scores of the norming sample into
nine groups ranging from a high of 9 to a low of 1. Stanines
are normalised scores that have a constant relationship to
Percentiles. That is, a given Percentile always falls into
the same Stanine. Stanine 5, for example, always includes
Percentiles 41-59. Stanines are single digit scores and are
not likely to be confused with percentage of items answered
correctly, and they can be averaged because they are equal
interval scores. However, Stanines provide less detail about
student performance than other derived scores because they
categorise test performance into only nine broad units.
Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE)
This curve was designed to be used in the evaluation of
compensatory education and other special programmes. The
range is from 1 to 99 and coincide with the NP scale at 1,
50, and 99. NCEs are normalised equal interval scores and
are not recommended for use in reporting individual student
scores since the NCE is easily confused with the NP.
Scale Scores (SS)
The Scale Score is the basic score for TerraNova and other
CTB assessments. It is used to derive all the other scores
that describe test performance. Scale Scores can be obtained
by one of two scoring methods. The first is Item Response
Theory (IRT) item-pattern scoring, a procedure offered only
by CTB among the major K-12 test publishers. With
item-pattern scoring, Scale Scores are derived numerically
using all the information contained in a student's pattern
of item responses. The second method is number correct
scoring. This method converts the number of correct
responses (or points earned for constructed-response items)
to a Scale Score. For groups of 25 or more students, the
item-pattern and number-correct Scale Scores produce
equivalent results. Customers can choose to use either
scoring method. CTB recommends item-pattern scoring because
it provides more accurate results for individual students.
Scale Scores are equal-interval scores that can be averaged
and used in other statistical analyses.
A very informative site for information on interpretation of

AN ARTIST'S MARK BLOG by Kathleen Kalinowski, a contemporary impressionist painter of landscapes in Oil and Pastel gives an insight to her inspiration, process and goals as a working professional Fine Artist.
This is the studio painting that I finished from my plein air study and from the small pastel painting in the last blog post. I like the feeling of warmth in this scene despite the fact that it is a winter's day.
In Michigan, with December you get snow. Today was sunny after many days of rain and snowfall so I made an effort to do a plein air painting that I will post soon. During the past weeks of undesirable weather, I have been studio painting, working on some winter scenes that I photographed last winter, one of which I made into a Christmas card which is the first image below.
The Christmas Tree, pastel, 6x6
This is my family last year bringing our Christmas tree home...I love that tradition. | <urn:uuid:23b66ce9-d4d8-461b-8d1e-a9f61297df6b> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://anartistsmark.blogspot.com/2009/12/ | 2018-03-23T08:49:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648205.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323083246-20180323103246-00459.warc.gz | en | 0.969047 | 200 |
University Alliance has today commented on recommendations [LINK] to tackle perceptions of grade inflation and build public confidence in students’ final results.
The joint-report by Universities UK (UUK), GuildHE and QAA found the number of UK graduates receiving at least a 2:1 has risen by 55%, at an average rate of 5% annually since 2010/11 – with the proportion of classified upper degrees increasing from 61% to 75% and first class honours doubling from 13% to 26%.
Today’s report points to a wide range of factors behind the national doubling in the proportion of firsts and upper second degrees since 2010/11 – but concluded there remained significant ‘unexplained’ drivers behind the uplift.
The UK Standing Committee for Quality Assessment is now consulting on proposals that universities should sign-up to a sector-wide statement of intent and specific actions to protect the value of qualifications.
- reviewing and publishing evidence on their degree outcomes at the institutional level – the skills and knowledge demonstrated by graduates at every grade with external assurance of the data.
- agreeing common criteria, to be used by all universities, to describe the quality of work required for each degree classification.
- publishing and explaining scoring systems and processes that universities follow to determine a student’s final degree classification in an accessible format, including why any practice differs from accepted norms.
Professor Debra Humphris, University Alliance Director; Vice-Chancellor of the University of Brighton; and Chair of UUK’s Student Policy Network, said:
“We have some of the best teaching in the world and highly motivated students who are eager to learn, but we cannot ignore the legitimate concerns about grade inflation.
“It is essential that the public has full confidence in the value of a degree, and that degree classifications are meaningful for employers and students.
“We want to see greater levels of transparency and consistency in academic standards. This report and the upcoming UK-wide consultation will help universities consider how they can best protect the value of qualifications over time.
A University Alliance spokesperson said:
“This is a wake-up call.
“The drivers of grade classifications are complex, with a wide mix of internal and external factors impacting on degree outcomes.
“It’s clear, however, university leaderships cannot put the rise in upper degrees by solely down to rising standards. No one can ignore the growing evidence of ‘unexplained’ increases beyond student attainment, characteristics or investment in academic facilities and services.
“It’s plain that higher education must get its house in order. Universities may be autonomous, independent institutions – but there’s no doubt, ministers will keep up the pressure by forcing the regulator to intervene much more directly.
“These recommendations are a solid starting point. We’ll be contributing fully to the national consultation, working closely with University Alliance’s members.” | <urn:uuid:cf456d61-d890-490b-a7c5-1b0c9f396bfe> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.unialliance.ac.uk/2018/11/28/university-alliance-comments-on-proposals-to-tackle-grade-inflation/ | 2022-12-03T11:38:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710931.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203111902-20221203141902-00185.warc.gz | en | 0.92215 | 613 |

after acquired property clause
after acquired property clauseA clause in a mortgage that “scoops up,”as additional collateral, property acquired after the original loan.The intent is to protect the lender in case the borrower has a defective title to the property at the time of the loan, but later cures those defects and gains full legal title. It is also intended to gain a security interest in contiguous land purchased later, and having some practical relationship to the mortgaged land.(In practice,the clause is usually buried in the fine print and allows lenders to increase the value of their collateral when that was never the original intent of the parties.)

On Nov. 12-20, 2015, 19 Southern African Development Community (SADC) delegates will travel to Austin, Texas to attend a two-day workshop at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and the SC15 International Conference for High Performance Computing (HPC), Networking, Storage, and Analysis. TACC Workshop Agenda.
The delegation represents six of the 15 sub-Saharan SADC member states that host HPC systems, including parts of TACC’s former Ranger supercomputer that was donated to the South African Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC). More than 20 racks of the large system were divided and installed in several SADC centers that interconnect via high-speed networks to form a shared cyberinfrastructure. The TACC-SC15 activity will improve delegates’ HPC management skills, introduce them to new methodologies and best practices, and expand everyone’s professional networks.
Each SADC site has unique computational requirements and research goals for their HPC. Many are linked by a common desire to prepare the regional workforce to support the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) project, the most ambitious, globally-collaborative technology project ever conceived, or funded. Since the world’s largest radio telescope is being installed in the Karoo region of South Africa, it will require a skilled, indigenous workforce pipeline to support its more than 50-year lifespan.
Expected to be fully operational in the 2020‘s, SKA will observe more of the universe, much faster and in far greater detail than any other instrument (recording subtle changes that the human eye could never detect). By producing more than 100 times the amount of today’s Internet traffic, it will present new data storage, sharing and stewardship challenges. In addition to unraveling the secrets of the universe, with SKA’s monumental computation, network and energy demands, it will drive innovation that will power future supercomputers, and improve research networks and storage for off-the-grid facilities everywhere.
Thank you, sponsors!
The TACC-SADC activity is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, with help from Airlink, Intel, Cray, DataDirect Networks, the University of Texas, TACC, Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC), and STEM-Trek.

Southern Sudan has an area of 640,000 Square kilometers, which is equivalent to 25 % of the total area of the Sudan. It is located at the centre of Sub-Saharan Africa, bordering Ethiopia in the East, Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the South and Central African Republic in the West and Northern part of the Sudan in the North.
Ecologically, the area has a sub-humid climate and favorable rainfall which is divided into seven agro-ecological zones namely; The Greenbelt, the Ironstone Plateau, the Central and Southeastern Hills and Mountains, the Flood Plains, the Nile and Sobat rivers zone, the arid and pastoral zone and the Central Rain lands.The rainfall pattern varies by region ranging from 500 -2000 mm per year and provides growing season of 130 - 300 days. Therefore, agricultural performance varies considerably from climate zone to climate zone and from year to year. Furthermore, the temperatures are typically above 25°C, but rise above 35°C, particularly during the dry season, which lasts four months per year from January to April. In terms of resources, the region is blessed with ample natural and human resources that include vast fertile lands, extensive hardwood forestry, large amounts of fresh water and minerals, and variety of livestock. These endowments have made the region suitable for different kinds of agricultural and economic activities, such as production of food and cash crops, livestock and fisheries, production of wood and furniture, minerals, construction of tourism hotels and oil.
Also, the area has a population of more than 8 million persons in the 10 states where approximately, 80 % live in rural areas and only 20 % are urban. In terms of economic activities, 33 % of the rural population lives on agriculture, whereas 45 % and 12 % are agro-pastoralists and Fishermen respectively. The remaining part of the rural population lives on other economic activities.
The Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) has vision and mission that make agriculture the indispensible wealth for the people of Southern Sudan through the following goals:
Food- self-sufficiency by the year2011.
Poverty reduction by 30% in 2011.
Increase of the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) by 25% in 2011.
The sector is divided into two sub-sectors:
Agriculture and Forestry
This subsector is largely practiced by majority of rural population for subsistence purposes, with minimal cash crop production. the major crops produced in this subsector includes, Sorghum, maize, Rice, Sunflower, Cotton, sesame, Cassava, beans and peanuts. Other crops that are produced in small scale include: coffee, tea, sugar and tobacco. There is also great potential for growing fruits and vegetables such as bananas, mangoes, lemons, pineapples, onions, okra, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes and cabbages.
Currently, the region depends totally on food imports from neighboring Countries such as Uganda and Kenya as well as northern Sudan as a result of long civil war. However, the region is rich in forest resources which cover about 29% of the total land area. These forests have different varieties of trees that include indigenous African trees such as, Acacia, Mahogany and Teak which constitute major sources of timber, Gum Africa (Arabic), charcoal and firewood.
Livestock and Fisheries
Livestock is of great importance to the economy of the Southern Sudanese, especially for food security, employment and culture. It is estimated that Southern Sudan has a total population of 12 million heads of cattle and 11 million heads of sheep and goats. The larger proportion of the livestock is found in Greater upper Nile and Greater Bahr El Gazal regions. Furthermore, the area enjoys a large stock of fish resources in the River Nile and its many tributaries. Therefore, there are more chances for investment in the area of fisheries in Southern Sudan.
The principal constraints among others that face the development of agricultural sector in Southern Sudan include:
Inadequate financial services.
Low/no use of improved technologies.
Poor rural infrastructure that hampers access to markets.
Inadequate inputs including seeds, planting material, improved breeds, fertilizers, and tools.
Weak/no agricultural and livestock research and extension services.
Poor quality animals, lack of animal health services, lack of water and pasture for livestock especially during the dry season.
Lack of control to pests and diseases of both crops and livestock.
Shortage of skilled labour.
Current SPLM Policies for Agriculture 2010
The SPLM, which is the main ruling party in Southern Sudan, has critically reviewed agriculture in 2010 to identify its weaknesses, constraints, strengths and opportunities. As a result the party leadership developed comprehensive policies aiming at improving the sectors of agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries in order to achieve food security through transforming the subsistence agriculture system to a surplus production system well connected to markets and guarantee households access to food. These policies include the following:
Declaration of self-reliant food policy for southern Sudan.
Mobilization, organization and empowerment of local farmers, cattle owners, fisher men and entrepreneurs for active and effective participation in agricultural reform and food self-sufficiency program.
Immediate allocation of at least 10% of the oil revenue for agriculture, forestry, fisheries and livestock development.
Investment in agricultural research and extension services.
Improvement of farmers' and entrepreneurs' access to improve agriculture and livestock inputs (technology, seeds, veterinary medicines etc), services (extension, microfinance, information) and markets such as feeder roads, transport, storage systems and information.
Development of rural and agriculture market infrastructure and services
Promotion of investment in the agriculture and livestock sector by exemption of agriculture inputs and outputs from taxes
Promotion of water management and agriculture production under irrigation systems.
Promotion of private sector and foreign investment in agricultural sector.
Promotion of environmental protection and conservation by enacting laws and encouragement of good agriculture and livestock production practices.
The long war in the Sudan has devastated the basic infrastructure and other all sectors including human resources in Southern Sudan. After the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005, the region was farced by severe difficulties in meeting the expectations of all citizens in food availability and the basic needs. Over the last five years, the international community and friendly countries have supported the GOSS in addressing the following fields:
Roads and bridges.
Agriculture and agricultural inputs.
Specialized financial services.
Training: In-service and postgraduate.
International trade in agricultural products and other related activities.
Agricultural machineries, tools and equipment.
Joint agricultural corporations.
Although Southern Sudan is currently a net importer of agricultural products, the region has an outstanding natural resource base for the production of wide range of crops, forest trees, fisheries and livestock. Thus, the following sectors are suggested as potential fields for domestic and international investors:a.Rain-fed mechanized schemes for grains and cash crops.
b.Irrigated farms for sugarcane, fruits and vegetables production and processing
c.Integrated mechanized agricultural services.
e.Gum- Africa (Arabic), Timber and woods production and processing.
f.Dairy, pig and poultry farms for eggs, meat and milk production.
j.Wild animals' game reserves.
l.Agrochemicals, machineries, tools and equipment.
m. Banking and other financial services.
n.In-service and postgraduate training.

Jeff and Dondi Black are ultrarunners in Boise, Idaho. A couple of weeks ago, Jeff ran the River of No Return 100K, and Dondi ran the 50K. This was the inaugural year for the RONR and its first year in the Idaho Trail Ultra Series. If you’re considering an ultra in Idaho, check out the ITUS website for other races. RONR was the 3rd in a series of 8 ultras in 2014. Here is Jeff’s race report entitled “Running the River.”
“This was an inaugural race with a potent name: The River of No Return, or RONR for short. Given its close proximity to the Frank Church Wilderness to north, the main Salmon River to the south, and the towering Lost River Range to the east, the location was promisingly iconic even before arriving in Challis, Idaho where it all began. I strapped in for the long 100k course while Dondi rode the rapids on the 50k.” To read the whole article, go to Jeff’s website: http://jeffattheraces.wordpress.com/. | <urn:uuid:e8f347e9-2b32-466f-88b7-72375296e4a0> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://marathonandbeyond.com/2014/06/river-of-no-return-endurance-runs/ | 2020-01-25T08:27:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251671078.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200125071430-20200125100430-00003.warc.gz | en | 0.938231 | 241 |

Changed the ignition key and the starter, the car still would not start. My husband and dad took the car apart and still found no problem. they then thought that it had to do with the computer. My father thinks that it has to do with the gas pump. My husband then ran it through the scanner and got the code P0001. I hope that you guys can tell me what could be wrong with the car
Dash separating from mounting at the seam where the airbag would deploy.

Got in it today after work it was very difficult to get running I had to constantly hold the gas for about 5 minutes before I could let off the gas and quickly put it in drive before it stalled at every stop it stalled and the heater quit working at low rpms, drove fine to work.
If I can How do Ido it.
Was told after getting an inspection of my brakes and having symptoms of high-pitch squealing and pedal going very low to floor, but they still work (just not as well as before)that the master cylinder and possibly the booster was defective and needed replacing. However, on this site I read that a code light should come on for bad master cylinder. Also, how much should it cost for a complete repair of a master cylinder and booster?

above the doors on either side, and above the windshield on either side.
the inside of the plastic assembly has been hazed by the sun and i don't think that this part is accessible for some of the standard "unhazing" methods.
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3.0 v6 5 speed. The car was starting to get to where it wanted to get hot and when it was starting to get to where it was overheating I always stopped and cut it off. it started to overheat for almost a month and I couldn't figure out what was going on. I always cut the heater on and it would level out or I stopped it I had to. After a Month I finally decided to change the water pump water was coming out of the weep hole. I parked it and replaced the water pump but while I was doing it, taking the harmonic balancer off the crankshaft turned a half a revolution backwards while the timing belt was off. I replaced the water pump and got a new belt but when it came to piecing it back together I couldn't finish it due to weather. I took it to a shop after 5-6 months of sitting there and had the car put back together. They couldn't get the car to start and told me that the spark plugs had to be changed. Well after I got new plugs and wires and a new distributer cap it still wont start. the marks are right and the cam sensor is getting spark, so is the first spark plug. it tries to turn over but its not getting any fire. I thought it might be bad gas or something but I am just not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The car then came to a stop and shut down. When i got it home i tried to turn the car on but it just makes a weird screeching grinding noise. Any ideas?

The California State Student Association intends to create a level of independence with the adoption of the Student Involvement and Representation Fee by the California State University Board of Trustees, passed on Jan. 28.
The fee is voluntary $2 per-term charge assessed to all California State University students at time of enrollment, which begins in the fall 2015 semester.
The California State Student Association is a student advocacy body with representatives in all 23 state university campuses. Some of the largest efforts by the association include the advocacy and lobbying of legislatures in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. It’s through efforts at these law-making bodies, that the association is able to represent student causes and interests.
In addition, the association provides funding of student leadership groups and the ability to serve on taskforces and committees at the California State University system level.
The fee will generate $1.2 million to $1.7 million for the CSU system. The California State University system, which includes undergraduates and graduate students, had a total enrollment of 460,200 students in the fall of 2014. The highest projected revenue is based upon every student paying toward the voluntary fee both academic semesters. A conservative projection is also anticipated because the fee is voluntary.
Prior to the fee’s approval, the association was funded through annual membership dues and funding from the CSU Chancellor’s Office. With the implementation of the fee, these sources of funding will cease.
“When you have your own resources, you have a level of separation and independence,” said Anthony Gallino, Associated Students president and representative of the association. “There is less of an opportunity for members of the public to say ‘you’re just saying that because you get money from the chancellor’s office.’ We’re trying to say we don’t have that conflict because we have our own money.”
Along with the increased funds, the association expects to have a predictable funding model for the future. Ideally, this model will allow the opportunity for additional student involvement in association programs.
A fee summary packet, available at csustudents.org, provides insight into the intended actions of the association’s new source of revenue.
The current budget of the California Higher Education Student Summit, an annual conference hosted by the association that trains students on the various methods of effective advocacy, will be increased significantly through various levels of expansion. With a rough total of 250 student participants from across the state university system, that number is expected to increase.
Not offered previously, the fee will allow the funds for scholarships, website development and livestreaming of meetings.
The fee will also allow the expansion of campus outreach efforts, which will allow more contact between association representatives and the 23 state university campuses. The expansion will include funding to develop and aid in campuses voter registration efforts.
In addition, funding for in state, out-of-state, alumni and internships are all expected to be expanded.
“The state university system is the largest university system in the country and as such the association represents the largest amount of students,” said Miles J. Nevin, executive director of the association. “With this fee, it will allow us to grow to an extent that is appropriate for the amount of students we represent and allows us to grow in a meaningful way.”
The discussion of whether the fee would be a mandatory fee was discussed briefly by the association’s 2013-14 board, but was decided against.
The association felt students should have the choice to support political or policy decisions.
In addition, the association would have needed to traverse both the Education and Corporation Code, which prohibits mandatory student fees to directly advocate to the legislature.
Gallino concurred with the opinion of the association and offered his own that mandatory fees increase the level of difficulty. That difficulty will negatively affect current and future students.
“While you pay the $2 now, the return of the investment in the long run or the students who will come after you is much greater,” said Gallino. “If the association charges a $2 fee and through its increased advocacy ability, can then lobby the legislature more effectively and get additional funds for the CSU, that actually adds to the level of access and opportunity for everyone.” | <urn:uuid:85fa0f2b-ed8a-4e40-b4d7-dbe4a6f74b40> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.sonomastatestar.com/news/2015/2/17/voluntary-fee-adopted-by-university-system | 2017-04-29T09:25:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123484.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00187-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953076 | 891 |

No charges will be filed against the NYPD in the death of unarmed teenager Kimani Gray last year in Flatbush
It was confirmed yesterday by District Attorney Kenneth Thompson that charges will not be filed in the shooting death of 16 year old Kimani Gray last year on March 9th in Brooklyn by the NYPD.
Last year, an investigation was launched when then Ofc. Mourad Mourad and Jovaniel Cordova shot Gray seven times, of which three bullet holes in his back, killing him. The officers were initially placed on administrative duty during the investigation, however, since the incident Officer Mourad Mourad was promoted to sergeant and has even reeceived a service award.
This tragic news comes on the heels of the death of Eric Garner, further widening the gap between the cops and the community.
Kimani’s mother, Carol Gray, intends to continue to fight for justice for her son with a federal lawsuit against the NYPD in her sights.

Mother Love All The Way Down—A Mothering Sunday meditation in the context of the refugees trapped on the Greek-Macedonian border
|Venus and Mars|
my Lord has forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
Your builders outstrip your destroyers,
and those who laid you waste go forth from you.
Lift up your eyes round about and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, says the LORD,
you shall put them all on as an ornament,
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
The second reading was taken from:
Proem to Book One of Lucretius’ On the Nature of Things, trans. by David R. Slavitt (University of California Press, 2008)
Mother of Aeneas and of his Rome, and of gods
and men the joy, dear Venus, who underneath the gliding
heavenly signals busies the seas with ships and makes
earth fruitful (for only through you are living things conceived
and because of you they rise up to bask in the light of the sun):
from you the harsh winds flee and the skies’ black storm clouds scatter
at your approach; for you the intricate earth sprouts flowers,
wide ocean roads subside into gentle smiling, and furthest
reaches of heaven glow serene in response to your prompting.
In the spring’s first days, the nurturing western breezes breathe
free again, and birds in the air, smitten by you,
warble the news of your coming, as beasts of woods and fields
cavort in the meadows and splash through brooks—and all for love.
Under your spell, all creatures follow your bidding, captive
eager even. Look to the teeming seas, the mountains,
the fast flowing streams, the treetops, or rolling gorse where the birds
flutter and dance the reel of lust as earth once more
renews itself as you have ordained, for you alone
govern the nature of things, and nothing comes forth to the light
except by you, and nothing joyful or lovely is made.
I seek, therefore, your blessing and help in writing these verses
that I presume to compose on the Nature of Things, the way
things come about and are—for Memmius’s sake, my friend
whom you have favoured, goddess: for his sake give me words.
Make it happen that war interrupts its savage work
on land and sea, for this would be in your power
and you can bring to mortals that peace we long for as Mars,
who is mighty in warfare and rules over bloody deeds, adores you,
will lay his head on your lap, defenseless, utterly vanquished
and altogether undone by love’s unhealable wound.
I also showed members of the congregation a picture taken by Petros Giannakouris (Associated Press) of a refugee woman holding her child as she ran away from police firing tear gas on the Greek-Macedonian border, 29th Febraury 2016. Do please click on this link to view it before you read on.
For the record, this address is revision and rewrite of one I gave on Mothering Sunday back in 2008. For those interested in such things, on my blog you will be able to compare the two texts which will give you some idea of my own direction of travel over the past eight years — one that will, no doubt, please some and disappoint others.
Over the nearly sixteen years of my ministry with you I’ve remained acutely aware that when I use the word “God” in this church it can sound to a first-time visitor — and even to quite regular visitors — as if I am talking about the same God that is believed in and worshipped in most Christian churches and, for that matter within Islam or Judaism. This impression can be added to by the fact that I so often choose to illustrate what I have to say, as I have done today, by drawing in part upon some biblical text from the Judaeo-Christian tradition — the tradition out of which I came and which, despite my knowledge and genuine interest in other religious traditions, is the only one I can truly claim to know. Consequently I can, and sometimes do, sound to many people, although liberal, still metaphysically quite Christian. However, those who really know me know me know this is far from being the case.
Of course, I’m genuinely happy for any of you to use and understand the word God how you will, but when I use the word here I’m always doing it in one of two ways; the first is clearly human and decidedly non-metaphysical, the second appears to be somewhat more metaphysical in flavour.
When I’m using it in a non-metaphysical way (which is most of the time) I’m drawing upon John Dewey’s use of the word God as found in his important book, “A Common Faith”. He wrote:
‘We are in the presence neither of ideals completely embodied in existence nor yet of ideals that are merely rootless ideals, fantasies or utopias. For there are forces in nature and society that generate and support the ideals. They are further unified by the action that gives them coherence and solidarity. It is this active relation between ideal and actual to which I would give the name “God”. I would not insist that the name must be given’ (A Common Faith, 2nd ed., Yale University Press, 2013, p. 47).
When I’m minded — or sometimes need — to appear more metaphysical, I’m using the word God in a way which draws upon Henry Nelson Wieman’s use of the word:
‘Whatever else the word God may mean, it is a term used to designate that Something upon which human life is most dependent for its security, welfare and increasing abundance. That there is such a Something cannot be doubted. The mere fact that human life happens, and continues to happen, proves that this Something, however unknown, does certainly exist’ (Religious Experience and Scientific Method, Macmillan Company, 1926, p. 9).
In early-modern period this ‘Something upon which human life is most dependent for its security, welfare and increasing abundance’ seems to me to have been most attractively and plausibly presented by Spinoza who thought it was best understood as being equivalent to Nature. In a nutshell he consistently sought to divinize Nature and naturalize the divine, and that’s a project I’m certainly trying to continue here. Most importantly Spinoza’s “Deus sive Natura” (the God-or-Nature referenced in our opening words) is NOT personal and you cannot, in any normal, everyday sense, talk with, pray to or influence such a God. It is also vital to note that neither does this kind of God (this 'Something') write books, holy or otherwise, in order to communicate with us. Anyway, I more or less agree with the words Albert Einstein wrote to Murray W. Gross in 1947 (26 April), saying:
‘It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropomorphic concept which I cannot take seriously. I feel also not able to imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. My views are near to those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order and harmony which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem - the most important of all human problems.’
By taking my cue from Einstein’s point about treating ‘values and moral obligations as a purely human problem’ and as ‘the most important of all human problems’ I can begin to move towards a theme obviously connected with Mothering Sunday.
To be human is to engage with the world not only as rationalist philosophers and scientists, but also as poets and artists. We think, and we feel and imagine. To help us explore and discern what might be good and lasting human values and moral obligations, we have often given those same values and moral obligations faces and personalities and we have turned them into characters in plays, poems, songs, novels and films. For example, in ancient Israel, “wisdom” became personified as a woman, Lady Wisdom; in Greece and Rome “wisdom” was Athena and Minerva respectively. In Christianity this tendency to personify was, of course, taken to its ultimate extreme in the figure of Christ who, by degrees, became a personification, not just of one virtue but all of them and, as such, for many Christians a male, father God himself. Over the centuries this has become increasingly problematical and there are millions upon millions of people around the world who really think God is a interventionist and often violently judgemental male person arbitrarily condemning some to hell and others to paradise both in this world and the imagined next.
In the face of this horror I am often tempted to ditch the idea of personification altogether. But remember my earlier point that to be human is to engage with the world not only as rationalist philosophers and scientists, but also as poets and musicians — we continue to gather around not only the lab-table but the campfire or hearth and we are always already imagining and creating stories along the way. This is one of the reasons I so value the Roman poet Lucretius (1st Century CE) who, although a naturalist and atheist, was wise enough to begin his epic poem, De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), with a paean to a god — in his case Venus, who was for him a personification of the beautiful face of Nature in its creative mode.
With Lucretius’ dear Venus in mind, the need for and value of poetic language in our exploration of human problem of values and moral obligations, and the fact that it is Mothering Sunday, I’m going to suggest that there is today a rich harvest to be gained by more regularly personifying God-or-Nature as a mother rather than as a father. Remember, as I do this, that I don’t think the personification of God-or-Nature as mother is any more really-real than personifying it as a father — all I am saying is that in our present age such a female personification seems more amenable, appropriate and vital to our present and ongoing needs as human beings. For the following illustration I’m indebted to my philosophy tutor at Oxford, mentor and, later, friend, Victor Nuovo, under whose gentle and wise guidance I first properly began to explore and truly come love both Spinoza’s philosophy and Lucretius’ extraordinary poem.
Victor invites us to consider the love of a mother for her suckling child and also the image of God or Nature as mother. He suggests that ‘if God is truth, then, since mother love is a truer image of love, we perhaps ought to embrace it.’ Indeed, I am inclined to agree with Victor that such an image better ‘expresses the whole meaning of our existence’ than does the image of God as father. In connection with this thought he told me a story about something that happened to him one spring in Vermont where he and his wife, Betty, have lived for many years:
‘Some weeks ago, I was loading a cart to carry my recycling down the driveway. It looked like rain, so I though it advisable to cover it with a tarpaulin, to keep the paper from becoming rain-soaked and hard to handle. The tarpaulin lay rolled up beside the cart, where it had been for some weeks. When I unravelled it, I discovered that a mother mouse had made her nest in it; there she was nursing her brood. She was terrified as were her nurslings, whose eyes had yet to open. They clung to her teats not, in this instance, to suckle, but because they found security there. She tried to cover them with her body. They were as one being. It was a beautiful sight, and yet heartbreaking. I had absolute power over them. I could have killed them, and perhaps I should have. But I could not. Instead, I set them gently on a flat shovel, and carried them to the edge of the yard and set them down in some undergrowth. Once there, the faithful mother mouse moved away, her nurslings still clinging to her breasts, and found shelter. Oh how I wished that I might make all beings in the world safe! But I am not the king of love, or a faithful shepherd. And there is no such power. There is only mother love all the way down.’
Victor observes that the aim of a mother’s love is ‘to nurture to maturity a free human being (or, indeed, an adventurous mouse!), the perfection of the life that was conceived in her womb and carried there.’
A mother’s love and suckling is, as Victor notes, ’the beginning of a child’s engagement with the world, the first moment in the adventure of learning, the awakening of the mind, perhaps its first act, a prelude to finding one’s way in the world.’
Victor then asks the all important question of ‘Where does this love come from?’ The answer given in most churches points, of course, to the personal God of monotheism, but for reasons already touched upon this is an answer which is simply not available to me. Victor answers, as do I, in a Lucretian manner by suggesting ‘that it is in the nature of things to love in this way.’ In other words an emergent quality of God-or-Nature is, in living creatures, this astonishing thing we know as mothering love — it seems to be graven on the emergent hands of Nature itself as Isaiah once believed it was graven on God’s eternal hands.
Victor concludes that, although we cannot all be mothers, ‘we can all learn to love like this, tenderly, faithfully, steadfastly, in a way that nourishes, that gives life, that comforts, that seeks to set free, as though we were all mothers to each other.’
To borrow a beautiful line from the book of Common Prayer it is surely ’very meet, right, and our bounden duty’ to observe this on Mothering Sunday in order to encourage us to display this through all the realms and days of human activity.
Which point allows me, lastly, to turn again to the picture of the refugee mother and child you have before you. It seems very important to note Lucretius’ felt that dear mother Venus is also, by her creative love and beauty, capable even of quieting the savage work of Mars, the god of war. This image of a mother and child refugee from war speaks painfully and eloquently to the need for such global expression of creative mother love that can play its part in quieting the savage work of war which continues to bring this mother and child, and countless others, such dreadful pain and anguish.
Let us, in all our actions bear witness to the natural truth that there is, indeed, mother love all the way down. | <urn:uuid:3fed6d20-f0bd-497c-8295-093ffa2f0838> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://andrewjbrown.blogspot.com/2016/03/mother-love-all-way-downa-mothering.html | 2017-10-18T02:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822668.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018013719-20171018033719-00566.warc.gz | en | 0.966374 | 3,311 |
Of course Wimbledon is only strawberries, celebs and "Quiet Please" for two weeks in the year. The rest of the time it's a leafy London suburb backing onto a magnificent area of open land in one corner of which is Cannizaro Park. I mentioned its fabled rhododendrons on a previous post but that time I didn't notice the mountain laurel.
And it was doing a lot better than my Cattaraugus County versions which, thanks to the local deer population, haven't flowered for several years and a are barely a foot tall.
The rhododendrons were past their best and it was an overcast day but this one still looked pretty good.
(Though apparently some British ice cream vans are notorious for gang warfare. Well the Glasgow ones at any rate. No one told me that when I was six years old and racing after the music with my hot little hand full of sixpences.) Meanwhile the Common and the pond - this being a couple of weeks before the tennis started - presented a peaceful, bucolic scene, the grey clouds adding to the perfect picture of a suburban British summer.
It really does look like a village green. You wouldn't think you were so close to London.
Now we're back in Cattaraugus County, I note my Wimbledon neighbours are complaining about all the people cashing in on the tennis, offering their front gardens for parking. One woman on the neighbourhood website has at least been honest "Yes, we charge for it and no, not a penny goes to charity. It's to pay for our holidays." I might mention that any house near the tennis courts with enough front garden for parking spaces is going to be worth at least a few million. Pounds.
Meanwhile the American TV commentators here have been remarking how exciting Wimbledon Village has got over the past few years. "There are even some good restaurants." Cheek.

I get excited about inner healing (or soul healing) prayer because I know it works. Jesus is the only answer for healing the wounds of our past and for helping us to stand against the enemy in our daily lives. Psalm 142:7 says, Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Your name. That was my cry before I was healed and I hear it over and over in many others who come to me for counseling. It's such a joy to be set free and an even a greater joy to watch it happen to others. There is no doubt, inner healing prayer draws us into a closer relationship with Jesus and we can give Him all the praise and glory.
When I first met Rita and took her Emotionally Free Course, I knew it was the answer I had been searching for. I had met the Lord at age 32 and received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, but I knew there was more that I needed. It was as if the Lord saw my hunger and led me to the place where I would be fed. I have learned that Jesus knows what we need and He never disappoints.
My first inner healing experience in the Emotionally Free class took me by surprise. I prayed, asking Jesus to heal a teenage memory with a boyfriend. I learned that healing happens when we acknowledge the presence of Jesus in the memory and ask Him for His healing touch. In my case, Jesus not only healed the hurt I presented to Him but healed another relationship as well; one I didn't even know needed healing, my relationship with my mother! After that I was hooked.
I have been working with Rita in the Emotionally Free ministry since 1987, which makes me CRA's oldest teacher and facilitator. In the beginning, I felt totally inadequate for the task, but quickly learned that when the Lord calls you out of your comfort zone, He also equips you for the work. I have received a great deal of healing for both myself and my family; the most significant being my husband's salvation after 30 years of intercession.
I became Director of the Inner Healing Ministry at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Edmonds, Washington after taking Rita's course. I organized, promoted, and taught the Emotionally Free Course every spring for over 20 years. In addition I am the lead facilitator for Rita's national seminars each summer for the Christian Renewal Association. In my private practice, I am a Certified Counselor and incorporate my inner healing training in my work with hurting people.
I appeared on TBN's Praise the Lord Television Program many times over the years as Rita's co-host. For more than ten years I have published a monthly inspirational article in our church newsletter. Then in 2000 I began writing for the Edmonds Yacht Club (EYC) monthly publication as their Chaplain.
I have written a book, Healing Hearts and Souls, about my experiences in inner healing prayer. This book contains 127 timeless stories, both serious and light-hearted, which cover many topics. All of them illustrate God's desire for total healing for all of His children. The book may be used as a daily devotional or read in any order, depending on one's interest. All of the stories were written to inspire and to encourage emotional healing.
I am the mother of five grown children, ten grandchildren and four great grand children. I live in Edmonds, Washington, with my husband, Dave, a Marine Surveyor and retired owner of Wilson Marine, Inc. We also share our space with our dog, Lilly. | <urn:uuid:383f292c-a7f5-44f2-b947-975f4b034d11> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://emotionallyfree.org/Twilson.html | 2018-01-22T00:10:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084890928.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180121234728-20180122014728-00728.warc.gz | en | 0.973541 | 773 |

Miss Red Dot Ready for 2005 ULHRA Hydroplane Racing Season
Red Dot announces title sponsorship of UL-40 unlimited-light hydroplane team
SEATTLE (June 6, 2005) -- Red Dot Corp. announced today that it will be the title sponsor of the UL-40 unlimited-light hydroplane owned by Thunder Valley Racing of Issaquah, Wash., for the 2005 racing season.
The boat, called the Miss Red Dot, will compete in an eight-race circuit that begins at the Tastin' and Racin' festival on Lake Sammamish in Issaquah from June 10-12.
Unlimited-light hydroplanes are throwbacks to the "thunderboat" era of hydroplane racing of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, when fans gathered to take in the irresistible noise of the big-block piston engines and the spray and excitement of deck-to-deck competition.
This is the second year Red Dot has supported the UL-40 and Thunder Valley Racing but its first as title sponsor.
Red Dot president Randy Gardiner said the company is excited to expand its relationship with Thunder Valley Racing and the UL-40 team, which finished sixth in the Unlimited Lights Hydroplane Racing Association (ULHRA) national points standings in 2004.
"Hundreds of thousands of fans in the United States and Canada see unlimited-light hydro racing every year, in person and on television, so it's great exposure for Red Dot, our products, and our distributors," Gardiner said.
With a top speed of 160 mph, a rooster tail longer than 50 yards, and a 1,100-horsepower supercharged engine, the Miss Red Dot will be a favorite on the water and off it, said John O'Brien, one of eight partners in Thunder Valley Racing. The crew opens the pit area before each race so fans can have their picture taken with the boat and meet legendary driver Harold Mills.
In addition to the season-opening race in Issaquah, the Miss Red Dot will compete at ULHRA-sanctioned events in Evansville, Ind., June 24-26; Valleyfield, Que., July 8-10; Tri-Cities, Wash., July 29-31; Seattle, Aug. 5-7; Silverdale, Wash., Aug. 12-14; San Diego, Sept. 16-18; and Port Angeles, Wash., Sept. 3-Oct. 2.

Yes and the school should offer them at no extra cost.
Yes and the parents should pay for them.
They should be optional for students who want them
There should be school uniforms for specific activities only
We should leave it to the parents to decide if the school should have uniforms
We should leave it at municipal/state level
We shouldn't have school uniforms at all
I like the current way things are.
I hate uniforms
I'm a potato.
If, when defending your support for Donald Trump, and your response is,
"But but but... HILLARY!!!", then you lost the argument before you even began.
I support eliminating socialized schools, and then people could choose whether they want to school with uniforms or a school without uniforms.
In other words, everyone should have freedom of speech, and "everyone" means everyone who thinks just like you. Got it. So you go on spouting your ridiculous nonsense to justify the hypocritical nature of your outrage and I'll be over here noting said hypocrisy.
Or, in the case of my school, you have the choice of different colors for both your shirt and bottoms. Wear whatever shoes you'd like, so long as they are not flip flops.
You have plenty of choices.
Ahh, but if we were sharing this meal and we both like meaty tomato sauce, would we not have it? If I demand it and you enjoy it but don't demand it, we still have it and we both agree it tastes better.it would seem to me that if you desire me to have meaty tomato sauce you would require I have it while I would say you can have it with or without the sauce.
Dress codes make the learning environment better. Is it necessary for order? No, but it certainly helps. Is meaty tomato sauce necessary for good spaghetti? No, but it certainly helps.
And if everyone benefits from dress code/meat sauce, it seems pretty clear to me what we should have for dinner.You would say everyone benefits from people eating meaty sauce and therefore everyone will eat meaty sauce while I would say it is desirable you eat meaty sauce but aren't required to do so.

I did no such thing. I noted the fact in my experiences it is those who are prejudiced who are most likely to hate political correctness because they get "attacked" for their prejudiced views. I merely asked if you were one of them.Just like you flippantly concluded I was a racist among other things because I find your PC over the top.
Let me tell you now my heart is breaking at the thought of hate mongers not spewing their ignorant venom, causing emotional harm to people who have done nothing to deserve it. Breaking, I tell you.It's these kinds of statements used by people like you who are causing many to not voice or write what they really think because they fear the retaliation.
It's quite a scam you got going. You stand on your soapbox declaring free speech for all while using tactics that amount to censorship of those who don't agree with you.
Says the person trying to shut everyone who disagrees with him/her up.
I'm not a hypocrite at all. I'm not the one telling you that you cannot spew your prejudiced hatred (if you are indeed prejudiced), I'm simply saying if you have the right to say what you want, I have the right to accurately call you out on it.You want to see a hypocrite, look in a mirror.
There's nothing hypocritical about my position at all. You are the one who complains about feeling silenced and wants your opposition to be silenced. Feel free to use your prejudiced terminology (again, if you are indeed prejudiced), just understand I'm going to feel free to note how prejudiced you are. | <urn:uuid:7908f4ee-ed66-4f96-b1c4-d0d058a8b92c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.debatepolitics.com/polls/168538-do-you-support-school-uniforms-23.html | 2016-10-23T06:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719155.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00039-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975715 | 811 |
Since the launch of SKF Energy Efficient (E2) deep groove ball bearings in February 2008, SKF has extended the range to target larger electric motors, up to 350 kW (500 hp).
“Customers are always looking for ways to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gasses. This extension of E2 bearing sizes means even greater savings are now possible in many applications and industries," says Chiara Forlani, Marketing Manager for the Electric Motor segment in SKF.
Some OEMs and end users have already embraced the new solution and are realizing the benefits that SKF Energy Efficient bearings can provide.
The new sizes will let repair shops offer additional cost savings potential to their customers.
“As an SKF Certified Rebuilder I always use SKF bearings so the idea to test an improved bearing was challenging. We registered saving of 150 watts on a brand new 7.5kW motor of a major product brand; this is a good saving for a small motor. The saving potential is enormous in motors of bigger frame sizes and if is widely used in every industrial facility. In addition, the features of the new SKF E2 bearing increase the expected service life of the motor, another benefit to our industrial users that also reinforces our good-will in the market,” says Matt Fletcher, Managing Director Fletcher Moorland Ltd.
SKF Energy Efficient bearings reduce friction losses by at least 30% compared to standard SKF bearings. They are designed for light-to-normal load applications such as electric motors, pumps, gearboxes and conveyors. | <urn:uuid:15a79142-ebca-4151-a7d2-b5f36571eb5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.oemoffhighway.com/electronics/press-release/11221355/skf-introduces-energy-efficient-deep-groove-ball-bearings-for-electric-motors-up-to-500-hp | 2023-09-26T22:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510225.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926211344-20230927001344-00559.warc.gz | en | 0.938151 | 321 |

Johnson, p. 175: Practice Problems
1. “Orville to Andy and his heirs so long as the land is farmed; but if it is not farmed to Bonnie and her heirs”: Andy has a fee simple subject to an executory limitation [or a fee simple determinable, or maybe even a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent], and Bonnie has an executory interest in fee simple absolute [it can’t be a remainder because it follows a vested fee simple]. The problem is that Andy could die and his heirs could be on the land for hundreds of years, farming, and then stop. So it could be hundreds of years before the executory interest would turn possessory. That violates the Rule Against Perpetuities! So we have to reclassify, and Andy has a fee simple determinable (it’s no longer subject to an executory limitation…and it’s definitely not a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent either) and Orville has a possibility of reverter. Bonnie has nothing. It would fix it to say “To Andy and his heirs so long as Andy farms the land”.
2. “Orville to Annie and her heirs so long as the land is farmed”: Annie has a fee simple determinable and Orville has the possibility of reverter. The Rule Against Perpetuities isn’t violated in this case. But what if the Orville sold the possibility of reverter to Bonnie? That’s why possibilities of reverter were difficult to sell. What if the gift was: “To A and her heirs, but if the land is not farmed to B and her heirs”? A has a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent, B has an executory interest in fee simple absolute. But is the Rule Against Perpetuities violated? Yes, because you could farm forever! It could fail to vest in B in 21 years. Therefore, the gift to B and her heirs is no good! It looks like A just has a fee simple absolute and O has nothing! That’s why we need to distinguish between fees simple determinable and fees simple subject to a condition subsequent. With the fee simple determinable, the farming condition is part of A’s estate. When you cut off the executory interest, the condition is still part of it and A has the possibility of reverter. On the other hand, with the fee simple subject to a condition subsequent, you have the condition about farming being part of the executory interest, so when that interest gets cut off, the condition does too. These are radically different results depending merely on where you put the comma!
3. “Orville to Arthur and his heirs so long as the land is farmed, but if it is not farmed, to Brooke for life”: Arthur has a fee simple subject to an executory limitation, Brooke has an executory interest for life, and Orville has possibility of reverter. Brooke’s gift doesn’t violate the Rule Against Perpetuities because it can only vest during her lifetime. Thus, we can use Brooke as the life in being for that gift. If Brooke dies, her interest goes away and we’re just left with Orville’s possibility of reverter and Arthur’s fee simple determinable. Note that we can apply the rule before we figure out what Orville has.
4. “Orville to Adam for life, then to Adam’s children for life, then to Adam’s grandchildren who survive their parents”: Purportedly, Adam has a life estate, Adam’s children have a contingent remainder for life (unless Adam already has children alive, in which case the children alive have a vested remainder subject to open [but that’s a contingent remainder for the purposes of the Rule Against Perpetuities]), and Adam’s grandchildren either have a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute or a vested remainder subject to open in fee simple absolute (this remainder is contingent for two reasons: we don’t know who they are, and they must survive their parents). The gift to the children is okay, because the children will be ascertained when Adam dies. If Adam has more children after the date of this gift, then Adam dies and any other children and grandchildren die, then we might not know whether there will be any grandchildren that survive the “new” child until 21 years after the death of everyone living at the time of the gift. Thus, though the gift to Adam’s children will be okay, the gift to the grandchildren will violate the Rule Against Perpetuities and Orville will have a reversion instead. All in all, after the Rule, you’ll have a life estate in Adam, a life estate in Adam’s children, and a reversion in Orville.
5. “‘Orville to Arvid for life, then to his widow, and then to his children who survive her.’ Assume that Arvid is 89 and is married to Bella, his wife of 65 years [that’s a long time!], and that they have three children”: First off, purportedly, Arvid has a life estate, his widow has a contingent remainder for life (because it is unascertained just who his widow will be or whether he’ll have one, like if he gets divorced) and then a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute to his children who survive whatever widow he leaves behind (they may or may not be ascertained). Here we have the “unborn widow” problem at common law. Let’s say Bella and all the children die, but Arvid remarries, say to Cruella, who wasn’t born at the time of the gift. Arvid works as the validating life for the gift to Cruella. Arvid and Cruella (miraculously) have a kid, Donatello. Then Arvid dies (and thus both his widow and his children are ascertained at his death). It may be more than 21 years before we know whether Donatello will survive Cruella. Therefore, strangely enough, the gift to Cruella (or Bella or any other potential widow) will be okay, but the gift to Arvid’s children fails and thus Orville keeps a reversion in fee simple absolute. Note that the children in being at the time of the gift don’t work as validating lives for anybody, either. There is no life in being that will make this gift valid. Note that this gift would succeed if all the recipients of the gift were named. Actually, all you would need to do is name the widow. So, in the end, Arvid has a life estate, the children have a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute, and Orville has a reversion.
6. “Orville to Amanda for life, then to Amanda’s children who survive her”: Purportedly, Amanda gets a life estate, and Amanda’s children get a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute (because they not only might not be unascertained, but also they need to survive her) and Orville will have a reversion. Now this gift seems okay, because if we use Amanda as the life in being, we will know exact which children have survived her at the time of her death. I think both gifts are okay.
7. “Orville to Abby for life, then to her children who reach the age of 30”: Abby purportedly has a life estate, Abby’s children have a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute, and Orville has a reversion in fee simple absolute. Here we have a problem with the gift to the children. Abby could have a kid after the date of the gift, then she could croak. Then it would be, by definition, more than 21 years before we would know whether that child was going to reach the age of 30. However, if the rule of destructibility is still in effect, the gift would be okay because we would know at the time of Abby’s death whether the remaindermen are ready to take. The remainder will either vest in Abby’s children if they are 30 already, or else it will be destroyed and go back to Orville by reversion. So Abby has a life estate, Abby’s children have a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute, and Orville has a reversion in fee simple absolute.
8. “Orville to Andre for life, then to Andre’s heirs”: Here’s a classic Rule in Shelley’s Case problem. Purportedly, Andre gets a life estate, and Andre’s heirs get a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute (because they are unascertained at the date of the gift). Orville also has a reversion in fee simple absolute, though it may be somewhat of a fiction. However, under the Rule, if it is still applicable, Andre will simply get a fee simple absolute. We have (1) one instrument, (2) a freehold estate in the ancestor, (3) a purported contingent remainder in the ancestor’s “heirs”, and (4) the two estates are of the same “quality” (both legal). There is no Rule Against Perpetuities problem, though, because Andre’s heirs would be ascertained at Andre’s death, even in the absence of the Rule in Shelley’s Case.
9. “Orville to Alan for life, then to Orville’s heirs”: Here’s the Doctrine of Worthier Title problem [only when this is an inter vivos gift]. Purportedly, there is a life estate in Alan, followed by a contingent remainder in fee simple absolute to Orville’s heirs, and a reversion in Orville (again, mostly fictional, but must be there because he gave away a vested estate of a lesser quantum than what he had). But under the Doctrine of Worthier Title, the remainder to Orville’s heirs becomes simply a reversion in Orville. So the gift would be the same as if you simply said: “Orville to Alan for life.” The contingent remainder in the heirs is wiped out!
10. “Orville to Alain for life, then to Orville and his heirs”: This kind of seems like a fancy way of saying “Orville to Alain for life”, giving Alain a life estate with a reversion in fee simple absolute that is implicitly suggested by the gift. I don’t think this runs into the Doctrine of Worthier Title problem. Instead, I think we just read it as “To Alain for life.” How is this different from the previous problem? It says “to Orville and his heirs” and not just “to Orville’s heirs”.
11. “‘Orville to Alana and her heirs so long as the land is used for charitable purposes.’ Subsequent to this conveyance, Orville conveys his property ‘to Binford and his heirs’”: Initially, and purportedly, Alana has a fee simple determinable and Orville has the possibility of reverter. Then Orville sells what he has to Binford. It is quite uncertain whether the possibility of reverter can be sold or not (in other words, whether it’s alienable). If it can’t be, then things they as they are and no rules are violated. If it is sold, “the name stays the same” and Binford has the possibility of reverter. Is the possibility of reverter valid? Sure, because it’s vested right from the start and forever. The thing is, if these two conveyances were made in the same gift, then Alana would have had a fee simple determinable, also known as a fee simple subject to an executory limitation, and Binford would have had an executory interest. However, that executory interest would have been killed by the Rule Against Perpetuities, because that interest could stay contingent way, way, way into the future and far beyond the deaths of both Alana and Binford. You never know how long the land will be used for charitable purposes! It could be hundreds of years!
Practice problems revisited
O.R.C. § 2131.08. Statute against perpetuities.
(C) Any interest in real or personal property that would violate the rule against perpetuities, under division (A) of this section, shall be reformed, within the limits of the rule, to approximate most closely the intention of the creator of the interest. In determining whether an interest would violate the rule and in reforming an interest, the period of perpetuities shall be measured by actual rather than possible events. * * *
1. “Orville to Andy and his heirs so long as the land is farmed; but if it is not farmed to Bonnie and her heirs.”
b. Under Ohio law: Since Ohio law measures by actual rather than possible events, I think we will wait and see whether the land is still being farmed 21 years after the death of the last life in being at the time of this gift (Braunstein suggests it would be 21 years after Andy died). If it is still being farmed, I think the gift must be reformed to destroy the contingent remainder. The remainder has to vest in someone (maybe becoming possessory) or just end. Orville maybe wanted to keep the land as a farm, but he’s only allowed to control the land 21 years after Andy, Bonnie and himself are all dead. We would need more information about what Orville really wanted.
4. “Orville to Adam for life, then to Adam’s children for life, and then to Adam’s grandchildren who survive their parents.”
5. “‘Orville to Arvid for life, then to his widow, and then to his children who survive her.’ Assume that Arvid is 89 and is married to Bella, his wife of 65 years, and that they have three children.”
7. “Orville to Abby for life, then to her children who reach the age of 30.” | <urn:uuid:ab0313c3-125f-4d19-9c6c-6c01d0d0d27f> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://lawschool.mikeshecket.com/property/practiceproblemsruleagainstperpetuities.htm | 2018-03-19T16:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647003.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319155754-20180319175754-00796.warc.gz | en | 0.953943 | 3,036 |

As active institutional members of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Professionals (NASFAA), the Financial Aid employees at Salisbury University have historically prescribed to the NASFAA Code of Conduct. The Code is intended to help guide financial aid professionals in carrying out their obligations, particularly with regard to ensuring transparency in the administration of the student financial aid programs, and to avoid the harm that may arise from actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 legislated requirements which prohibits a conflict of interest with the responsibilities of an officer, employee, or agent of the school regarding Title IV loans.
The term “employees” refers to any of the school’s officers, employees and agents who are employed in the financial aid office or who have responsibilities with respect to student loans or who have responsibilities with respect to student loans related to Title IV education loans or private loans for educational purposes.
The Code of Conduct establishes that:
- Employees shall not enter into any revenue-sharing arrangement with any lender where the lender provides or issues a Title IV loan to the student or student’s family in exchange for the school recommending the lender or the lender’s loan products in exchange for a fee or material benefit including profit or revenue sharing that benefits the school or a school’s employee or agent.
- Employees shall not solicit or accept any gift in the form of a gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, service, transportation, lodging, meals, reimbursement, or other item having a monetary value of more than a de minimis (nominal) amount from a lender, guarantor, or servicer.
- Employees must not accept any fee, payment, or other financial benefit (including the opportunity to purchase stock) from a lender as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or other contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender.
- The school shall not request or accept funds from any lender for private education loans including funds for an opportunity pool loan to it students in exchange for the school providing promises of a specified loan number or volume or a preferred lender arrangement for educational loans.
- Employees shall not accept or request any assistance with call center or financial aid office staffing from any lender except as allowed by law.
- Employees who serve on an advisory board, commission, or group established by a lender, guarantor, or group of lenders or guarantors, shall be prohibited from receiving anything of value from the lender, guarantor, group of lenders or guarantors. However, the employee may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in serving on the advisory board, commission, or group.

My husband and I are obsessed with eating local food and visiting Canada. At dinner last night, he mentioned that we should plan another trip there so that we know where to move when he retires (14.5 years and counting!) I never heard of Acadian cuisine but was excited and intrigued to learn more.
Enter Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food by Simon Thibault. A cookbook into a history-lesson-slash-novel where I was wishing I was in his Grandmother’s kitchen cooking these delectable items right alongside her…Simon, you are so lucky to have had a Grandma who cooked and kept records! (And I commend your efforts of extensive research!)
A favorite line from Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food:
“When talking about our favourite dishes, many of us start by saying that “My grandmother made,” or “My [insert family member] made,” and then talk about how those particular dishes were made in very particular ways.”
My mother has my Grandma’s meatball recipe. I know that my sister and I will fight over who gets the real handwritten version. I digress…
The first section of Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food is Preserves in which I can’t wait to make his salted green onion recipe. I use scallions on my nacho platter and in all my soup recipes. This just sounds delicious and would be a great addition to my daily recipes.
The second chapter is for the Breadmaking folk. I have both a gluten and dairy intolerance, so the only place I make bread is with my clients at work. These recipes seem simple enough – so sometime this week I will gather ingredients I don’t have in my pantry (there is a nice segment on stocking your pantry in Pantry and Palate) and choose a lucky client to make delicious bread.
Lard encompasses the third chapter. I never worked with lard. I don’t know if I want to work with lard. Lard seems like something I rather read about then experiment with in my kitchen. Sorry, Simon!
Tȇte de Cochon is the next section. Simon, you are more than welcome to come to my home in New Jersey and give me private instruction on cooking a pig’s head! (That would make a really great YouTube video, I promise!) I appreciate the Acadian cuisine but am not this adventurous when it comes to cooking.
The next two sections are my favorite! Section 5 reads Soups, Sides, and Staples while the last is Desserts. I love Meat Pies, and it reminds me of when my Grandmother made them when she was alive and well. Simon gives a few variations, one I hope to try soon. He also gives a Potato Pancake recipe that I can’t wait to make! I always wanted to make potato pancakes but couldn’t find the right recipe. I tabbed this page instantaneously! And, you better believe, that I will be making his Scalloped Cabbage recipe for Thanksgiving. I had to Google “summer savory” spice is and added it to my shopping list. I think this is my favorite chapter of Pantry and Palate; meals I can make simply and that I know will taste delicious.
I love desserts, but with my food allergies, I only eat them on very special occasions and have my DigestZen from doTERRA on standby. I think the Baked Apple Pudding recipe will be a hit for the holidays. I also have always wanted to experiment with rhubarb and his clear, concise directions make me feel like I can tackle that task.
Pantry and Palate isn’t for those looking for thirty-minute meals, or people who need an illustration with every step. Pantry and Palate would be best for those looking to experience cooking and who want to integrate culture into their meals. When I read Pantry and Palate, I feel like I am holding a distinct piece of Acadian history in my hands. Thank you, Simon, for opening my eyes into a world I didn’t know existed. Pantry to Palate is a cookbook that I certainly cherish and will begin making my tabbed recipes immediately.

After writing my last post about poetry and fiction, and after referencing The Triggering Town, I began to think about the things we writers use to fuel our endeavors.
Our obsessions, if you will.
For writers, we use all we can get. Take an honest and close look at us, and you will find we are a simple sort of people. Meaning that we do not require much to do what we love.
Yes, there are new writing softwares every year, books on writing, workshops to hone certain skills, but even if you strip all of that away, you will not strip us of our joy, our fuel, our obsessions.
The world is our toolbox, and if we took an honest and close look at ourselves we will find that we draw upon that more than any book or software. We draw upon the small things, the tiny details the common man overlooks or disregards. In objects, or pictures we find a passion that will not let go of us, thankfully. They continuously tug on our hears and imagination.
We draw from the people around us, as well. When we see people, we do not see another face, we see a story with feet. We see a history, a struggle, and, sometimes, we even see armor hidden beneath casual exterior. Sometimes we see heroes.
My point is that writers don’t have just ideas, we have obsessions, fire spurring us forward, changing the way we see the world.
I understand the connotation that obsessions tend to have, especially with those who will assign morality to anything and everything. But let me provide something to define what I mean and clear the air.
“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”–Rainer Maria Rilke
So in other words, obsessions are the reasons we write. They are the things we see when we close our minds. For some it could be distant lands, sometimes it’s a simple object that cultivates all sorts of creative thoughts. It sneaks into our writing any chance it gets.
Other writers are obsessed with topics. For example, I once attended a Q&A with poet, Edward Hirsch, where he explained that a great amount of his poetry stemmed from his struggle and obsession with insomnia. He couldn’t stop thinking about it. So through his obsessions, he yielded some amazing poems on the topic.
Obsession, however, can come and go. One year, or day, it could be one thing then it changes the next. But they never leave without leaving a mark. A lasting impression.
But enough of generalities. Enough of the abstract.
I will be plain and simple. Obsessions are essential to a writer. No matter what genre you write. It is a tool and fuel. It keeps the imagination running. It creates that special world where you understand nothing, but everything understands you. Obsessions, for a writer, is building a home. A safe haven. There, once the house is complete, you can yield your best work.
Going back to the quote above, obsession is the reason to write, and without a reason, you have nothing but empty sounds. Screeches without any articulation. Simply put, words without reason are static noises crowding up the airwaves.
We need reasons to write, even if they are absurd reasons like looking for a reason, or just because you have a love for language. When we invest ourselves in our reasons, our obsessions, we find that our writing has a purpose, and purpose gives wing to whatever you do. Reasons and meaning breeds passion, and, with passion, you can go the furthest.
Personally, I have wavered here and there in pursuing and holding on to my obsessions, which, in turn, has affected my passion for writing. But I have found that memory is a great tool in reminding yourself when you were on the right track and how to get back. Not all of the past is bad. So I have had to remind myself of my reasons for writing. Why did I lose my mind writing in the first place, and how can I continue doing that?
It is no hidden fact that you have to fight for the things you love, and it is no different with writing. We have to fight to keep that flame in our hearts lit. Between full-time jobs, maintaining relationships, dealing with life’s situation, and managing reality, we run the risk of losing touch with what we love, what gives our life some meaning and keeps us moving.
Another tendency we have, especially myself, is to bridle that obsession or passion. I tend to worry if it’s too much for people. I know that a lot of people fear the eyes and minds of others, especially when it comes to writing. We feel they will not understand it and love it the way we do, so they will inaccurately judge our work. However, I will argue that none of that matters in the end. Yes, if you go the traditional publishing route, your publishing career rests in hands of others, but they are smart creative people. Regardless, if you have your pen, your obsessions and reasons, then you have all you need.
Allen Ginsberg once said, “To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.” If you think about it, he is entirely correct in this statement. You need to write for your obsessions, your passions, your reasons, yourself. Only then will you find your voice, and what a strong voice it will be.
Stepping into the public eye shouldn’t change anything. You are the same writer, just in a different room.
With that being said, this is not an excuse to not accept criticism, because that is helpful. Only a fool rejects helpful advice.
I understand that is post is definitely gravitating towards stream of consciousness. So let me go ahead and boil it down.
Obsessions provide fuel for our writing.
Obsessions give us reasons, therefore purpose, which brings passion.
We have to fight for our obsession and our writing.
Obsessions should never be bridled.
We have to write for ourselves and not concern ourselves with writing for others.
It is easy to lose our way and forget what made us turn to writing in the first place. And I guess the simple answer in turning us back to how we felt in the beginning is to find that original love, that beginning spark.
Find the things you love, those tiny details, those obsessions no one else understands. Once they see how much love and passion is in your writing, trust me, they learn to love it as well…just nowhere near as much as you, but that’s okay.
I will leave you with a quote that impacted me greatly when thinking about this.
“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”–Franz Kafka
What are some of your obsessions, or your thoughts on the role obsessions? Or even your experience in rediscovering your love for writing? I am sucker for discussions.
Thank you for reading, my friends, and, as always, good luck and godspeed. | <urn:uuid:3bd912d6-5bd1-49a7-a093-df6809c28ed8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://danielbeilman.com/ | 2018-06-23T04:21:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864940.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623035301-20180623055301-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.95881 | 1,564 |

In People v. Cole, 156 Cal. App. 4th 452 (2007), a California Court of Appeal appeared to reach the surprising conclusion that corporate officers and directors of issuers are required to be licensed as broker-dealers unless they receive a commission for the sale of securities!
As discussed in this post, Commissioner Preston DuFauchard responded to the Cole decision by proposing the adoption of a safe harbor rule that largely mirrors the SEC’s safe harbor rule (Rule 3a4-1). Yesterday, the California Office of Administrative Law approved the Commissioner’s proposed rule (10 CCR 260.004.1).

Traveling is among a lot of people’s favorite free-time activities. People go on vacations in order to escape the ordinariness of their everyday lives, to relax, and to see some new part of the world they have not seen yet. Traveling can really broaden one’s view for so many different things and some experts even recommend people to travel whenever they can.
If you are also one of the people who love traveling and are looking for your next place to visit, then you may find curious to learn which some of the current top travel destinations are so you can visit them. We have prepared a list of these travel destinations to let you know which they are.
#1 Paris, France
Maybe it is no surprise that one of the current travel destinations is the capital of France – Paris. The city has been among the top visited places all over the world and it look like that this trend will continue. It is said that the most beautiful time of the year to visit Paris is spring because of the sunny and warm weather.
This way one can enjoy the beauty of the city to the fullest. And if you are thinking of going there soon, make sure it happens during the spring, or early summer.
#2 London, UK
The next travel destination which is a very popular one in the world is another European capital – London. British weather is famous for its moodiness. It is often rainy and cloudy, but this does not mean that it is like that throughout the whole year. In fact, there are some very sunny days in late spring and early summer. This is considered to be a very good time to visit the capital.
Another reason why London is among the top travel destinations at the moment is Brexit. The country will stop being a part of the European Union and many citizens of the continent decide to visit it before it becomes more difficult for them to travel among the countries.
#3 Istanbul, Turkey
The most popular Turkish city is Istanbul even though it is not the capital of the country. It is a really big city which has a lot of monuments and sights to visit, like mosques, palaces, and museums. A lot of visitors also pay a visit to the aquarium which has a big number of different fish species and some very impressive aquarium halls. Istanbul has a lot to offer and that is why a lot of tourists visit it every year.
You probably had little doubt that there would be a list of popular travel destinations which would not include Bali. Bali is in Indonesia and it is considered by many people a piece of paradise on earth. Every piece of nature you will see there is like one on a postcard. A lot of people who visit the place decide to spend most of there time on the beach and to enjoy the sun.
Others try some of the opportunities which the place has to offer, like scuba diving, going on boat tours, and surfing. If you decide to visit the place, you should not miss to try some of the local dishes and if you have the opportunity to see some local rituals.
Another piece of paradise which not surprisingly among the top current travel destinations is Jamaica. It has some really beautiful beaches as well as tropical nature. There are some very beautiful waterfalls which a person can hike to to see them and to enjoy their beauty.
There are also other things which Jamaica has to offer, like great music, amazing street performers, delicious cuisine, and many other things which will make you fall in love with the place.
#6 Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal is a country which borders Spain and in the past years it seemed that it remained outshone by the beauty of its neighboring country. Spain is known to have amazing culture, traditions, nature, and cuisine, but so does Portugal. More and more people have already started appreciating the beauty of the country and thus to visit it more often.
Lisbon is the capital city of the country and it is often referred to as European San Francisco because of its urban structure and the trams which resemble the ones in San Francisco. The country boasts with some amazing beaches, some of which are among the top beaches in the world. There are many architecture sights which deserve to be seen. | <urn:uuid:2410b76b-1a09-4b04-906d-77c7dc5ad472> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | http://makeup-mania.net/find-out-which-the-current-top-travel-destinations-are/ | 2019-12-07T09:48:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540497022.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20191207082632-20191207110632-00330.warc.gz | en | 0.976952 | 863 |

During 2017-2019 the OCTIA directors resumed their individual status for delivery of this conference.
I have recently been awarded the title of Honorary Member of ACTO, in relation to my contributions of develoing Online Counselling and Supervision within the UK since 2006.

The programmes include skills for offering therapy to clients by email, IM, voice only, and webcam.
One of the distinct benefits of the OCST online counselling training UK courses is learning in groups(OCST 2 Diploma Course), or individually with the tutor (OCST 1 Diploma course). Online supervision for role play activities is included within the training programme at an additional cost.
The tutor has been in practice with e-clients since 2005 and providing the OCST training since 2006.

You can choose which course will best suit your needs,availability, and time commitments. Both the OCST1 and OCST2 courses provides students with all the necessary skills and Knowledge to begin practice with clients online.
The OCST2 course, involves an experiential shared group experience with specific start dates throughout the calendar year.
A sample of OCST 1 and OCST2 Delegate feedback-
"I enjoyed working with Jane during our course meetings. The course is very comprehensive, and I learned everything the guide she provided said I would plus my face-to-face skills also improved. I learned in such a way that the new knowledge and skills stayed with me, helping me start and run a successful private practice with confidence.
I found Jane very easy to get on with as the warmth of her personality was quite tangible in our instant messaging calls and emails, she was kind when I made mistakes. This, I feel, makes her way of working with others a helpful model for my own practice.
I would thoroughly recommend working with her as an online tutor in the well-designed courses she offers."
" I work within a charity that involves seeing men and women face-to-face regarding pregnancy crisis and pregnancy loss. Because of the nature of crisis and loss, it can be difficult for people to seek a face-to-face encounter particularly when intense emotions are often the presenting problem. I value this online training course in all of its aspects; the programme itself which enabled me, step by step, to be able to train as an online counsellor as well as the variety of appropriate material and the practice with other students in roleplay. I believe this is a well- designed course that enables someone such as myself with little tech. knowledge to be able to feel confident and competent to now use this training within the scope of what I do."
"Nearing the end of my Counselling Psychology training I realised there was a hole in my knowledge regarding working online and an expectation to consider it. The OCST training expertly filled the gap and through experiential learning techniques helped me understand what was involved’ ethically, legally and practice wise, to adapt the skills I had and giving me confidence to practice new ones. I would highly recommend the course for anyone considering becoming an online therapist and cannot imagine how anyone could practice safely or competently without taking a course of this type."

The Dallas Cowboys will take on the Matthew Stafford-less Detroit Lions Suday afternoon. The wagering line reflects his absence, settling with the Cowboys as seven-point favorites after opening at just 2.5. That’s the level of drop off between starting quarterbacks and those who hold the clipboard.
With Jeff Driskel getting the call, it begs the question on how Dallas has performed when the other team’s most important player isn’t on the field.
The most infamous of games involving the Cowboys and an opposing back-up quarterback is that of Green Bay Packers and Matt Flynn. In that contest, Dallas blew a 26-3 halftime lead when Flynn stepped out of his body to throw for nearly 300 yards and four touchdowns. But block that out, because only two defensive players remain from that 2013 roster for the Cowboys. What matters is what’s happened with the team that’s been largely in place for three and a half years. Here’s what’s happened in the Dak Prescott era:
Dallas is 6-1 both straight up and against the spread in these kinds of games since 2016. The over-under remains a crap shoot. What this signifies is that the Cowboys have taken care of business on a regular basis in this exact circumstance. This is bolstered by the 2019 results that demonstrate that this team has shown the ability to handle lowly opponents with ease. So with this in mind…
The Verdict: Cowboys cover -7 and the OVER (47) hits.

Caution: Spoiler warnings, even though nothing much past the start of the game is spoiled. Anyways, there it is, so don't complain.
Resident Evil 2 (Biohazard 2), developed and published by Capcom, is the sequel to the terrifying Resident Evil, the perennial game of zombies running amok due to a biological weapon experiment gone horribly awry.
Like the first game, you can assume the role of two different characters: Leon S. Kennedy, a fresh-from-the-academy Raccoon City police officer, and Claire Redfield, Harley-driving sister of Chris Redfield, one of the characters playable in the first RE. Each scenario is played on different discs, and you can start as either Claire or Leon. Each character has certain puzzles they have to solve, and special weapons you can only find while playing as them (Leon does not get the Grenade Launcher, for instance). Once beating the game one time, you can start from the beginning with the alternate character on a different path with different puzzles.
Resident Evil 2 occurs three months after the first. Chris Redfield and the other members of Raccoon City's STARS (Special Tactics And Rescue Squad) have left the city for Europe in order to investigate Umbrella Corporation, the company responsible for the massive bio-viral outbreak in a mansion (which turned out to be an Umbrella-owned laboratory) outside of the city. The virus in question is the experimental bioweapon T-virus, which turns humans into mindless, flesh-eating zombies. STARS singlehandedly quelled the "Mansion Incident" and destroyed the lab, wiping the T-virus -- and all of its hellish creations -- off the face of the earth.
However, this has not stopped the Umbrella Corporation. They have been hard at work recreating the T-virus, and have invented the G-virus. An accident deep underneath the city involving this new bioweapon has now turned Raccoon into a ruin, populated only by the undead. Leon and Claire, almost the only survivors, must escape while fighting their way through hordes of demonic creatures.
Needless to say, this game is scary as hell -- do NOT play it in the dark your first time through (or do, if you're into being freaked out). The gameplay is relatively simple, though the controls are hard to get used to, especially simply turning and running. Unlike most games that have any kind of guns used as your primary weapon in them, the key to survival is to conserve ammunition and run whenever possible -- fighting, unless you have tons of bullets, grenades, what have you -- should not be the primary option. The police department that most of RE2 takes place in requires more exploration and discovery than outright combat. Oftentimes you'll find yourself pulling your hair out wondering where the heck you can find a special key of some kind.
Now that it's out under the Greatest Hits label, you can find Resident Evil 2 brand-spanking new for a mere $15 -- a great price for a great game. It paved the way for many more future Resident Evil games: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis; Resident Evil Code: Veronica; and Resident Evil 0.

These snowboard lights take upcycled snowboards away from snowy hillsides and into the home. Designers Nicklas and Linus Linder have created this recycled home decor with a edgy sports theme.
Growing up in a sports-loving family (especially winter sports), I could see my parents' home decorated with these awesome lights. I know we have a ton of old snowboards lying around, so why not transform them into useful household lighting? The snowboard lights are definitely awesome.

Chondroitin is a compound found in the flexible cartilage on the surface of joints. It has been used to ease pain and swelling in the joints. It is often taken with glucosamine when used for joint pain. Chondroitin has also been used to ease symptoms of urinary tract infection. It can be applied as a cream. Chondroitin can also be taken as a pill, powder, or eye drops. It can also be injected into muscle or into the bladder by a healthcare provider.
400 milligrams 2 to 3 times daily
Editorial process and description of evidence categories can be found at EBSCO NAT Editorial Process.
It is likely safe to apply chondroitin to the skin and to take it orally in small doses, but allergic reactions are possible.E1 Not enough studies have been done to say whether it is safe to use by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Kris Aquino is the number one tax payer, huh!
Imagine, she pays almost 50M in taxes.
Well, if only for that, we should really admire her.
Speaking of taxes, I really could not comprehend taxation. Well, tax is really really high. 30% of my salary goes to taxes. Imagine that!
Well, I pay almost 300K in taxes. I do not have 300K in the bank.
What if I just put that money in the bank, right?
In my 12 years of paying takes, that would be 3.6M already. | <urn:uuid:0d5b7951-cc67-4760-b9cd-f2ed87108ac6> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://beemyguests.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-number-one-tax-payer.html | 2018-01-19T01:32:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887692.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119010338-20180119030338-00504.warc.gz | en | 0.969858 | 124 |

Archie Comics 2015
Written by Mark Waid
Illustrated by Fiona Staples
Coloured by Andre Szymanowicz & Jen Vaughn
When Archie joined the construction team working on the new Lodge Manor, he made a MAJOR mess of things! And Mr. Lodge’s beautiful daughter, Veronica, caught Archie in the act of accidentally destroying their mansion-in-progress. Now Archie’s got to right his wrongs if he wants to get in good with Veronica, who’s starting her first day at Riverdale High, and finally get over his breakup with Betty Cooper.
Alright while I never understood the reasoning to stop the old run and have a new one instead of them both it’s really not my place to try. Instead i’m just enjoying the hell out of what Mark and Fiona are bringing us. Gone are the Happy Day’s life of the Riverdale gang where things work themselves out in a half situation comedy. Instead we get more of an almost teen soap opera story complete with rivalries, jealousy and infatuations that more accurately reflect modern teenage life.
I have to say I like the whole Archie talking to audience breaking the fourth wall deal. Even when he’s talking to Jughead it feels like he’s talking to us and it’s kind of endearing really. HIs innocence shines through in those moments like he’s just a kid caught up in his emotions and with his bad luck and awe shucks personality relating to him is easy. So much so he doesn’t even notice her personality just that’s she’s beautiful and knows about the house.
One of the things that I really enjoyed about the issue is now that Veronica has been introduced is Jughead’s reaction to her. Okay it’s been established Jughead was once a rich kid whose family has lost it all and he copes, very well from the look of things and he’s concerned about his best friend so the way that Fiona demonstrates the animosity they have towards one another without even speaking a word.
Another is seeing the first meeting between Betty and Veronica. What should be a great moment of friendship turns out to be something else entirely and pushes Betty firmly into Jughead’s corner of making sure that Archie and Veronica are something that is to never happen! Whether this will resolve the #lipstickincident is another thing entirely but it’s still clear she likes Archie and trying to resist those feelings comes under thou dost protest too much.
It’s only issue three and already this new take on a classic has my full support and approval. It’s nothing like it was except for the likeness and names which I am finding more and more something I appreciate. This “modern” take on them has all kinds of potential and how things will play, who will be friends with whom and all that jazz is so up in the air it’s like starting a brand new series with brand new characters. Forget what you knew and join the Riverdale gang as things start fresh.
Having always been a fan of the Archie gang for as long as I can remember having this total overhaul made me weary. Fortunately these folks have the same love of the characters I do and that shows. So enjoy Ronnie’s first day at school i’m sure you’ll find it more fun than she did! | <urn:uuid:2118aa6a-9b30-4184-b5e9-d6f39b0246ba> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://readingwithaflightring.weebly.com/reviews/archives/09-2015 | 2017-12-15T06:26:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948567042.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215060102-20171215080102-00721.warc.gz | en | 0.9651 | 713 |
How to Do the Double Calf Stretch
7 of 9 in Series: The Essentials of Stretching
The double calf stretch offers some relief for the calf muscles, which tend to be tight and bunched up from daily activities such as walking and standing. This article demonstrates the double calf stretch.
Stand with your feet together about 2 feet from a wall that you’re facing.
Pull your abdominals gently inward and don’t round your lower back.
With straight arms, press your palms into the wall and lean forward from your ankles, keeping your heels pressed as close to the floor as possible.
You should feel a mild stretch spread through your calf muscles.Credit: Photograph by Sunstreak Productions, Inc.The double calf stretch helps relieve tightness in your calf muscles.
Keep in mind the following tips as you perform the double calf stretch:
Keep both heels flat on the floor or as close to the floor as your flexibility allows.
Keep your abs pulled in to prevent your lower back from sagging or arching.
To increase the stretch, bend your elbows, leaning your chest toward the wall. | <urn:uuid:40d65adb-f677-4007-b99e-32d9260fde14> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-do-the-double-calf-stretch.html | 2016-06-30T10:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783398516.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154958-00125-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924771 | 233 |

Johnette Napolitano, the former Concrete Blonde lead singer who recently released her first proper solo album, Scarred (Hybrid), has a unique way of dealing with her garbage. She makes it into art.
"I have a fire pit and I don't have trash pickup, so I have to be very careful what I take on, which everybody should be, really," Napolitano says from her cabin near Joshua Tree, California. "I've got my dogs, so I get my dog-food cans and throw 'em into the pit to oxidize them, and cut the tin flat. I'm very inspired by Mexican pierced tin and the stuff they do in Morocco with pierced metal, so I kind of flow along those lines. Everything's outside, so it rusts up and gets real cool-looking."
Southern California native Napolitano, who also paints and writes poetry, dissolved Concrete Blonde last year after nine albums of post-X Hollywood punk, spooky Southwestern imagery and aching love songs like 1990's Top 20 smash "Joey." Though her roots with the band run deep — Napolitano met guitarist Jim Mankey when, barely out of high school, she did odd jobs around Willie Nelson pal Leon Russell's Hollywood compound; the pair's first project together, Dream 6, evolved into Concrete Blonde — Napolitano says she relishes the freedom of performing with just her acoustic guitar.
"I was in a band for a long, long, long time," she says. "I won't say that I'll never be in one again, but I really like the freedom of traveling this way — the physical ease and looseness of it, the fact that I'm a little freer and not locked into so much. I just feel really good on my own. I can hear myself think, and traveling is easier — it's just less of a circus all the way around."
Still, calling Scarred a solo album is not entirely correct. Napolitano mixes in first-rate covers of Coldplay's "The Scientist" and the Velvet Underground's "All Tomorrow's Parties" among her collaborations with British musician Will Crewdson (Adam Ant, Tom Jones, Pigface), who wrote the lion's share of the music. Napolitano says coming up with lyrics that matched the intensity of Crewdson's compositions was perhaps Scarred's biggest challenge.
"If it punches me in the gut, then I'm punched in the gut," she says. "The music really does evoke the emotion, and that emotion you need to be true to. It's visual [and] it's emotional, and it's my job to articulate this whether I'm playing the music or writing the lyrics and singing. In this case, these tracks took a lot of commitment to that."
As with her work in Concrete Blonde, several songs on Scarred take Napolitano to some fairly harrowing emotional destinations. "I am so scarred, I am so old," she sings on the title track. "Skin and bone and heart is old and tired, so scarred." "My Diane" is her paean to late photographer Diane Arbus, renowned for her pictures of people on the margins of society: "Make me somebody beautiful, if only in your eyes."
On the fiery "Everything for Everyone," while saluting the Replacements classic "Bastards of Young," Napolitano examines a life — probably hers, although anyone with a decade and change of service in a rock band might arrive at similar sentiments — spent in the service of others: "I was the one who wanted everything for everyone...but not anymore."
Napolitano admits it used to be hell visiting such dark places night after night on tour, but she's finally grown to love it. "I'm far enough away now that I can appreciate the songs for being good songs and not necessarily an expression of what I was going through at the time," she says. "I can actually appreciate my own songs in the way maybe other people can, without having to be in your head and know why you wrote it and what was going on then. I do lose myself in the music, but not for the same reasons I used to before."
One of her favorite physical places is New Orleans, which is harrowing enough these days for anyone. Napolitano addresses the beleaguered city's post-Katrina plight on Scarred's "Save Me." ("Walls were falling down and I prepared to drown.") She says she loves "the whole Tennessee Williams/Southern Goth thing" and has visited the city many times before, both in person and in song — 1990's "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" details a Garden District dalliance with the undead, and "New Orleans Ain't Been the Same" appears on last year's self-released Sketchbook, vol. 2.
"I would stay for months on end and just walk around and write," says Napolitano, who plays her first New Orleans gig since Katrina on Halloween night. "When we first started touring to go through the South was a real big deal for me. I was really into it."
Napolitano still has several friends in New Orleans, and when Katrina struck, she was devastated. "The toughest part was not being able to get through [to friends], and then not being able to sleep and imagining what people must be going through," she says. "I had nightmares I can't even tell you. It was horrible." | <urn:uuid:fa63da9a-6215-4e76-ba0f-ed030dd66c66> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.houstonpress.com/2007-11-01/music/scarred-and-solo/ | 2015-01-25T14:17:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122087108.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175447-00113-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976705 | 1,172 |
Those screams of helplessness still echo in my mind…
As I step in the memory lane, the flashback begins and each bygone moment appears vivid right before my eyes…
I was born as a girl. Yes, a female! The birth of a girl has always been considered as a curse. It is a bane if you are blessed with a girl child. Girls are placed under the category of burden and their birth is marked with dollops of dolor.
I was the yet another one to add to the colossal pressure on a typical Indian family. From the very inception of my childhood, I was treated as if I committed a sin by coming into this treacherous world.
My mother used to see me with pain carved on her visage. Her eyes held inexplicable disgust. I was too young to comprehend her suffering but my mind still remembers her crude behavior. My Baba maintained a constant indifference towards me. He always kept himself away from cuddling me and loving me. My mother withdrew herself from caressing my hairs, teaching me things with affection and singing to me lullabies to sleep. I was not blessed with such pleasures. All I received was oodles of anger.
I wanted to go out under the vast blue expanse and play but my mother chided me; I wished to hold precious books in my little hands but my desires met with lewd remarks intended to belittle me.
I had a brother when I was five. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, my mother was finally able to conceive and pull out a boy child out of her exhausted body. I still remember my Baba’s face that was beaming with satisfaction. Never before, I saw him elated. His happiness knew no bounds. My mother heaved a sigh of relief. Tears of happiness flooded her eyes and spoke volumes about the grief she underwent when my Baba used to hit her brutally in his anger. The marks of pain inflicted upon her bare body manifested itself on her pale face. Perhaps, her suffering was the prime reason behind her hatred for my existence.
My brother was raised with utmost care and love while I was kept aloof from tasting even a pint of it. I grew up bearing ruthlessness of my parents. Their actions hurt me, their critical remarks burnt me within but I learned to keep silent and endure all the pain from my stubborn and helpless mother. I was eight years old when my mother left all of us for the heavenly abode. Maybe, the endurance of her misery reached its peak saturation level where no more of it could be withstood. I never saw her smiling face in my life and to imagine it, would be next to impossible for me. The over bellied clouds of pain pervaded her life so gravely that fantasizing of her happiness was rather difficult. The only scene that appears before my eyes whenever a thought of her grabs my attention is her lifeless body, her eyes open, holding tears waiting to storm out but Dry!
At a tender age of 12, my Baba pushed me into marrying a man thrice of my age. My soft heart was reluctant to give up. I cried, mumbled and wailed; I pleaded him to help me but to no avail. He made up his mind to shed the burden off his shoulder, set himself free of his duties, and earn a handsome amount of money from his prospective son-in-law. The day I tied the knot with that man, the stark darkness hovered around my life. Misery arrived in my life creeping and the insidious marriage left me fearful. The initial months were, to my disbelief, happy. But eventually the reality unveiled and to my dismay, it left me in utter shock.
He was not a human being but a wolf who used to attack me every night to satiate his lust. His hunger for a young feminine flesh drove him to pounce on me and rip my soul apart. Whenever I tried to increase my voice against his inhuman behavior, my cheeks felt hot due to thunderous claps. He used to beat me up with all his might. The acrid odor of alcohol that proliferated out of his body thwarted me from breathing properly. My head ached, my soul ached but I could not resist – I was a Girl!
With all the bruises and wrecked spirit, I used to wake up to a new dawn but with same grim reality. As the dusk approached and darkness took over the lead, I had to surrender my bare and pale body to the monster who wanted to feast him upon it. After four years of my ‘forced’ and terrible marriage, I gave birth to a girl. I, at least, got an opportunity to see this tiny naked world but that poor child was immediately strangulated to death. This incident devastated me. I used to dread his presence, thereafter. He didn’t feel any remorse for his monstrous deeds and continued with his attempts to get a boy out of me. To his disappointment, the doctor said that I won’t be able to conceive again owing to my fragile body. This made him even more horrible. His anger and despair took every ounce of me.
The alcohol consumed his wits and sense. The greed of money blinded him to sell his own wife to another set of wolves. My life was plunged into an even more dark cave. I begged him to leave me but my cries never pierced his ears. He left me to become a prey for other demons who thrust themselves upon me to derive pleasure and enjoy their birthright of humiliating a female figure and mutilate her body to satisfy their never-ending amorous desires.
The nights still terrify me. The trepidation lurks in my mind in anticipation of a potent danger.
This business of earning money by putting my naked body as a bait to the men continued for ten long painful years. The constant horror pestered me, my spirits were dampening and my body was losing its strength. One day, my resilience finally gave up. One night, I hit a man with a lethal weapon and ran. I escaped for my life.
Since then, there’s no looking back. The transformation of my life is thankful to the people who helped me earnestly and selflessly. This chicken-hearted lady stands successfully today in front of you as a pig-headed, valiant lady who had defied her hard circumstances to emerge victoriously. The fear of darkness still haunts me but then the morning arrives to prove me that each day is a new beginning. Each dark night is followed by an ebullient aurora. My present which is imbued with ecstasy is helping me to get over my dark past. My grief is profound; it will take the time to get rid of it. I know it is possible. I have mastered the art of Audacity. There was a time when I was meek and weak but today I stand firm on my beliefs. Thank you, everyone, who helped me to overcome indignation. ‘Open your arms to good because it is stretched till the far end.’

The first Spanish Moot Court competition brings an opportunity to law students to demonstrate their ability to face complex cases
Each year, European moot court competitions, managed by notable organizations such as Telders International Law Moot Court, ELSA Moot Court Competition, the Willem C. Vis among others, host dozens of teams from prominent law schools in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Typically, the cases involve intricate conflicts under international laws or treaties that, because of their wide-ranging application, are known to all participating teams. These conflicts generally relate to matters associated to Public International
Law, International Commercial Arbitration, WTO laws, International Criminal Law, Human Rights, Intellectual Property, International Environmental Law, Maritime Law European Competition Law and others areas of the law.
In Spain Thomson Reuters Aranzadi (TRA) and the Escuela de Técnica Jurídica (ETJ) recently joined efforts and resources, and started in Spain a moot that will confront Spanish law school teams made up of Spanish students on a case governed by substantive Spanish law to be heard before Spanish judges.
There are 12 universities involved – A Coruña, Deusto, Granada, ICADE Comillas, Jaen, Loyola, Málaga, Rey Juan Carlos, Rioja, San Pablo CEU, Sevilla and Valencia supported by law firms such as Allen &Overy, Baker McKenzie, CMS Albiñana y Suarez de Lezo, Corporate Defense, Eversheds Nicea, Fortuny Abogados, Herbert Smith Freehills, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, Osborne Clarke, Perez Llorca and Ramon y Cajal.
By mid- March the hearings will take place at ETJ’s premises in Madrid, which features an exact replica of a Spanish courtroom, including its recording system and a gown chamber like in real life. The organizers asked the judges to decide the best team for the accusation and the best team for the defense.
The project caught the attention of companies with a large in-house counsel capability such as Gamesa, Mutualia and Aenor, and these have volunteered internships to the winning teams.
In sum, a great start to boost the talents of today’s most demanded lawyering skills. According to Delfina Ayerza, Professional Development Director of Thomson Reuters in Spain, “this initiative will hopefully set the tone for the development of internal mooting departments in all Spanish law schools, a project in which we are already working.” | <urn:uuid:418b6dbc-d026-4bd6-90e4-404042ccd2f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://iberianlawyer.com/the-first-spanish-moot-court-competition/ | 2023-11-29T22:39:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100146.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129204528-20231129234528-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.92259 | 524 |
im already a proud owner of a 65ltr berhaus backpack with a day pack attached, however on my travels in europe i found that it was just too big. now im hitting US and was wondering if anyone could recommend something a bit smaller. i was thinking in a 35/40 lts range. Im not doing anything too extreme, just for my clothes and other rubbish you end up taking. Any ideas???
I got the Deuter ACT Lite 35+10 SL and I really like it. It does get a bit cramped and I might have been better off with the 45+10l version, but I already own a 55+5l backpack and wanted something significantly smaller.
tania, can I ask which Berghaus pack it is? How do you find the quality? I am thinking of either the 65 +15 Spirit or 55+15 Silhouette (both on sale online as old stock). Want something to take my fleece, goretex etc without having to stuff it too full & stress it. Also sleeping bag going on this trip. Can you make any recommendations?
Tania (and Lisa),
Guys, I would reccomend the Macpac range of bags. Try somwhere like Cotswold in the UK (shop on online). They come in all shapes and sizes. They might be a bit more expensive than Berghaus etc, but then you get what you pay for. They are waterproof too, although i would reccomend a rucksack liner too.
Hope this helps.

Hulk Hogan is reportedly being used in advertising for the Bound For Glory 2013 pay-per-view and his name is still showing up on the Viejas Arena website, the site for TNA’s biggest pay-per-view of the year. The roster page of ImpactWrestling.com still has his name and photo as part of the team as well.
Unconfirmed rumors are flying around that Hogan has already agreed a new deal with TNA while others suggest there’s no deal yet and the Hulkster is looking at all options – including another WWE return.
Hogan ran out of his TNA contract at the beginning of October and “quit” TNA in his last Impact appearance. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Hogan said that he ran into Triple H recently and was told the door is always open for him to return.
At the end of the day it all boils down to money and number of appearances for the Hulkster as he tries to get the best deal out of both companies. | <urn:uuid:08cc9c30-3527-4b31-9ff2-b84418e389aa> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.wrestling-online.com/tna/will-hulk-hogan-be-at-bound-for-glory-2013/ | 2015-03-31T08:28:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300444.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00061-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982708 | 212 |
Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Hudson Valley Ghosts
Nothing says "I Love You" like a Hudson Valley Ghost Hunt.
On Saturday, February 13th, just in time for Valentine's Day, Ghost Hunt USA is hosting yet another ghost hunt at Mid Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick.
The correctional facility has been a part of shows like Ghost Nation on The Travel Channel, where professional ghost hunters explore the grounds and search for paranormal activity. In the past, they have found some seriously creepy evidence of the paranormal, like hearing voices or seeing shadows.
If you didn't know the Mid Orange Correctional Facility was first known as the New York State Training School for Boys back in the 1930s. According to Ghost Hunt USA, it's been reported that in the 50s and 60s the Training School became a "violent place." Reports of violent abuse include "forms of corporal punishment as well as stabbings and numerous attempted suicides."
With that kind of history, there is bound to be some kind of bad vibe that still lingers.
If you're interested in exploring the grounds and coming across these spirits, tickets are on sale now. The Ghost Hunt at Mid Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick will include the following:
- Exclusive Access to the most haunted areas of this location.
- Psychic Medium Vigil* (if psychic present).
- Group Vigils With Experienced Investigators.
- Lone Vigils.
- Use of our equipment which includes, trigger objects and EMF Readers.
- Free time to explore this location and to undertake your very own private vigils.
- Unlimited Refreshments, Including Coffee, Bottled Water and Soda.
- Selection of snacks | <urn:uuid:f12d3d4d-7a01-4c40-ada7-b6f3a4a0ab1a> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://943litefm.com/celebrate-valentines-day-with-hudson-valley-ghosts/ | 2021-04-18T13:47:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038492417.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210418133614-20210418163614-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.949237 | 344 |

This month, Spiked launched their newest Freedom of Speech University Rankings for 2018. The fourth edition of the rankings, which started in 2015, are an ‘assessment’ of freedom of speech on our campuses. Spiked’s methodology is simplistic. They look at the policies and actions of both universities and their students’ unions (SUs), ranging from the no-platforming of controversial speakers to their codes of conduct. They then give each uni and each SU a rank of red, amber or green, and give an overall ranking to each institution based on these two scores.

A figure which always captures my attention at the end of each year is the number of environment and land defender murders that have taken place over those past dozen months.
2016 was bloody. 200 people lost their lives that year while protecting their land and natural resources. The Guardian and Global Witness have estimated that last year, in 2017, there were 185 such deaths. Sadly, yet unsurprisingly, these figures are always underestimations, as in reality far more deaths occur over land and environmental struggles than get reported.
As the country with the third highest environmental defender death toll globally (beneath Brazil and Colombia), the Philippines continues to have the highest environmental activist death toll for any Asian country. The archipelago of over 7,000 islands is seen to be one of South East Asia’s booming economies. But what will 2018 bring with regard to the country’s piss poor human rights and all too frequent environmental killings?Continue Reading

Content warning: this article contains links to graphic videos and mentions animal cruelty
Over a billion farmed animals are killed in Britain every year. That includes over 10 million pigs, over 15 million sheep, 16 million turkeys, and over 2.6 million cows.
This business is a traditional part of Norfolk, and British, life. Farming of all kinds has been a part of life in Norfolk for hundreds of years. This rural county is most well-known for breeding turkeys, though it is also a moderate producer of other meats, especially from cows and pigs. Is the mass production of animals for consumption something to be proud of though?Continue Reading

It’s been quite a week in Australian politics. You might have heard that the Turnbull government (a coalition of the centre-right Liberal Party and slightly further-right-but-mostly-rural National Party) have been debating marriage equality and have launched something called a postal-plebiscite. To understand why this is a Big Complicated Deal, we have to go back to 2004.Continue Reading
from a member of UEA Labour Students
In the midst of multiple crises faced by students, universities and schools, the outcome of the snap general election will be a major indicator of the future of the UK education sector. Each week until the vote we are featuring perspectives from our regular contributors and guests on what the election could mean for students.
Having resolved to sit down today and write this article, I’m struck by the appropriateness of my day. I caught the bus to UEA from outside one of the few remaining Sure Start centres, a public service provided by the last Labour government which has been decimated by the Conservatives (and Liberal Democrats) since 2010. My bus was 40 minutes late, the consequence of a privatised, under-funded service – and even the previously UEA-hosted launderette I went to had been privatised since I last used it. It served as a strong reminder of the power of Labour government to change lives for the better, which contrasts with the crumbling services and privatisation festival that has characterised the last 7 years of Conservative and ConDem government.

CW: article contains descriptions of the Manchester terrorist attack, racist discourse, links to images of war crimes.
The official threat level after the terror attack in Manchester is back down from Critical to Serious, and the country has started to move on. The news cycle seems to have been slightly shorter, as well; at time of writing the front page of the BBC News website is largely concerned with technical problems at British Airways and I-kid-you-not a cheese rolling competition.
I’d love to say that this particular terrorist incident didn’t incite the usual wave of hate and disgustingly inappropriate coverage that tends to follow such events, including random hate crimes, thundering headlines and political manoeuvring. I’d love to.
But The Daily Mail exists. And The Sun. And the political climate in the UK has become sufficiently toxic that even without those two, the response was nonetheless as unpleasant as any I’ve seen.Continue Reading | <urn:uuid:029cd07c-7f78-4b3b-815d-f37564bd5f85> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://thenorwichradical.com/tag/journalism/ | 2018-06-21T17:41:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864256.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621172638-20180621192638-00133.warc.gz | en | 0.952081 | 1,088 |
Streets, Alleys and Roads
The same general considerations for insuring and excepting to easements apply to streets, alleys and roads. If extended coverage is given, and the exception to unrecorded easements is removed, you must consider whether roads exist on the land (e.g., as reflected by a survey). You must consider whether the character of the land demands a broad exception to existing roads (e.g., very large acreage transactions, farms, and ranches). If a known road is vacated, statutory procedure (which may include public notice, appraisal, and payment) must be complied with. The Company customarily excepts to existing utilities in a vacated road. An exception for easements for access in favor of other subdivision owners also may be appropriate.
Located Road (No Recording Reference)
Title to and easements in, that portion of the land within the street/alley/road along the ____________ of the land.
Comment: You should use this exception to a known (unrecorded) road.
General Roads Exception (No Recording Reference
Title to, and easements in, any portion of the land lying within any highways, roads, streets, or other ways.
Comment: If you believe that unidentified roads cross the land, or if the land is a farm, ranch, or other large acreage parcel, you should use this exception, when you delete the standard exception to unrecorded easements.
Title to, and easements in, that portion of the land along the _________ of the land reserved for the widening of ______________ as disclosed by ______________.
Comment: If a map, plat or other instrument designates a portion of the land for street widening, you should use this exception.
Located Road (With Recording Reference)
Terms and provisions, including title to, and easement for, street or road along the _______ of the land as provided in instrument recorded ______________________.
Comment: You should use this exception if a recorded grant, reservation, or map reflects or creates a road easement.
[the Town Plan (See Town Law § 280-a)]
[the Village Plan (see Village Law § 1790].
Insured Nonexclusive Road Easement
Nonexclusive easement for street or road as provided in the instrument recorded _________________.
Comment: Insurance of an easement must be based on a full examination of the title. The easement must be appurtenant. It must be insured as “nonexclusive.” | <urn:uuid:faddd795-a24d-45ec-beec-5a9848b1e2e1> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.virtualunderwriter.com/en/standard-exceptions/1996-5/SE00002691.html | 2019-02-18T11:52:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247486480.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218114622-20190218140622-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.9066 | 525 |
In recent weeks a major Greenpeace campaign has captured headlines around the world. The campaign aims to prevent further damage to the Arctic which is facing catastrophe due to melting ice. This is being exacerbated by man-made climate change and a number of corporations are trying to turn a disaster for us all into profits for their shareholders.
One such company is Shell which intends to drill for oil in the region. Greenpeace held a major piece of direct action in which activists climbed London’s tallest building, the Shard, used by Shell.
At last month’s Belgian Grand Prix, one of the biggest days of the sporting calendar for Shell, Greenpeace managed to pull off a major coup. As a motor sport fan and an environmentalist I am determined that my sport takes responsibility for the affect it has on the planet. Other fans aren’t minded to support environmental campaigns. When it emerged shortly before the race that Greenpeace activists were on one of the grandstands the motor sport community on twitter were immediately angry. Some just didn’t like Greenpeace “hippies” whilst others were worried that they might have their Sunday afternoon disrupted. A valid point from others was that motorsport is dangerous enough as it is without having protesters making it worse. And this is where Greenpeace got it right. They weren’t just protesting about a sport that damages the environment; they made it specific to Shell and they did so without interrupting the racing.
Bernie Ecclestone’s company controls the race TV coverage so it was natural to see the protest edited out of the live broadcast but thankfully the fans at the track will have seen the points made and this video shows what happened.
I think motorsport fans will come round to our way of thinking. It will take time but motor sport itself will need to address issues of the environment if it wants to retain credibility.
- F1: Greenpeace’s unlikely friend (allthingsf1.wordpress.com)
- Go well, go Shell… (joesaward.wordpress.com) – here’s the counter argument by long-standing F1 journalist Joe Saward. It’s not up to much and makes the point that fans at the track were not best pleased. History will no doubt find it strange that the crowd booed a group of people trying to save the planet as if sport is more important. F1 will have to grow up and its fans will too. | <urn:uuid:6c7e3ffe-1229-4b68-9a84-244f0e63b137> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://tradeonion.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/greenpeace-save-the-arctic/ | 2018-07-23T03:57:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676594886.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180723032237-20180723052237-00406.warc.gz | en | 0.964461 | 500 |
This article explains several options to backup your email to your computer.
The Webmail interface is a read-only interface for mail. This means you cannot download mail from Webmail. You need a client such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
Backing up your email using a POP connection
If you configure your email address within your client as a POP account, your email is automatically downloaded to your computer. This is how a POP configuration is meant to function.
View the following articles for information on how to configure your address as a POP connection.
This method requires the use of a third-party mail program configured as a POP3 connection to download the emails from DreamHost mail servers to be stored locally on your home computer.
No longer on the mail server
Since these pull the emails off the server, you will not see these messages any longer via an IMAP connection or through webmail. Once you’ve “popped” (downloaded) your email from a DreamHost server, backups for those messages are no longer available, so make sure you keep the backups stored on your computer at least until you upload them to a new mail server.
The POP configuration will only download mail from the user’s Inbox folder. All other folders and contents within them must be moved to the inbox when you’re ready to download them. This will include folders such as ‘old-messages’, ‘Sent’, ‘Drafts’, and any other folders outside of the Inbox folder.
Here's a general workflow you could follow:
- Configure you email to use a POP connection.
- Email from the Inbox only is downloaded.
- On your computer, locate the directory where you mail client downloaded the emails.
- Create a folder on your computer called Inbox and drag those emails into the folder.
- For sub-folders, you'll need to move their content into the Inbox. For example, if you have a folder called 'Sent', move email from this folder into the Inbox so they are downloaded to your computer. You can then create another folder on your computer called 'Sent' and drag them into it.
- Do each sub-folder one at a time to avoid confusion.
The point to remember is that the POP configuration only downloads email from the Inbox directory, not any sub-directories.
Exporting email within Mac Mail
Mac Mail has an option to quickly download all email under a single address to your computer. View the following article for instructions.
Backing up your emails at another host
The process of backing up mail with another host may vary from host to host. The mail host you have now may have another solution to backing up emails from their servers. You'll need to contact your current mail host for details on how to backup the emails from their servers so you can import them to DreamHost. | <urn:uuid:a9609b7e-fb6a-47fc-b8f4-ac772850c214> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215730637-How-do-I-back-up-my-email- | 2019-09-22T10:15:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514575484.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190922094320-20190922120320-00013.warc.gz | en | 0.915884 | 607 |
Where we travelled, especially in Luang Prabang, there were many temples, and many monks, and despite the circus of the tak bat ceremony, Buddhism is still a vital and important part of Lao life. Many young men spend at least some time as a novice in a temple, partly as a way of getting an education (despite being nominally a Communist country, there isn't any free education or healthcare in Laos).
The monks were, of course, incredibly photogenic and striking in their orange robes.
That last guy there, with his robe up to his face, is a young novice we spent a lot of time chatting with one afternoon. The closest any of us could get to pronouncing his name was "honk", which of course made him "Honk the Monk". But he had given himself an English name, John Jackson, which we also called him, to his great pleasure.
Honk, or John Jackson, is twelve, and has lived as a novice for two years. His plan is to stay for another five or so, and then to become a doctor. He spoke English quite well, and is also studying Spanish and Chinese. In his free time he likes to watch Lao, Chinese, and American movies on his mobile phone. And his favorite food is pizza, of course. | <urn:uuid:a6fa3233-c1ab-4d3e-b807-eab7e1a28d85> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.davidadam.com/laos-2015-02/2015/2/17/monks | 2019-04-22T00:08:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578532948.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20190421235818-20190422021818-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.99248 | 270 |
A noble character is earned. In a great tragedy, Naomi returns to Israel after loosing both her husband and two sons while sojourning in foreign Moab. Fortunately for Naomi, her foreign daughter-in-law Ruth loyally stays and supports her by gleaning (scavenging) behind harvesters. Ruth's unswerving loyalty and work ethic are not only noticed (Ruth 2:6-7), but also reported among the entire town (Ruth 3:11). When Ruth makes her daring marriage request of Boaz, he confirms his intent, largely influenced by her “noble character.” Reputation and family names are still worth their weight in gold (Proverbs 22:1), since they have a way of uplifting or haunting us our entire lives. Strongly tied to obedience, the difficulty of earning favor and a good name with both God and man hinges on our following God's teachings and commands. (Proverbs 3:4). To further confirm the difficulty of earning such a reputation Proverbs congratulates the man who finds a wife of noble character (Proverbs 31:10). Once earned, we must defend our noble character by following God's wisdom in complete love and faithfulness.

This soft, silver-gold metal has a melting point of 82 degrees F, which makes it one of 5 metals that are liquid near room temperature. One of its distinguishing characteristics is the brilliant sky-blue it emits when burned.
Cesium also decays at an exceptionally stable rate; therefore when the scientists of the world decided to regularize our timekeeping, they turned to cesium. In early definitions, the length of a second was based on calculating fractions of the apparent motion of the earth and sun which they found meant that a second is not always a second–sometimes it’s longer, sometimes it’s shorter. That’s no way to run a universe. So in 1967, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures used an isotope of cesium to help define an unequivocal second: “the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.”
Cesium is used in atomic clocks. In this piece, I depicted an atomic clock with a kind of steam punk esthetic. | <urn:uuid:7cdba33c-f93f-48b6-a239-fa02ac5832aa> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://periodictableinfabric.com/2011/09/06/cesium/?replytocom=95 | 2020-02-21T12:29:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145529.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221111140-20200221141140-00296.warc.gz | en | 0.918299 | 239 |

“The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center exists to help our patients improve their quality of life. Among other things, they benefit greatly from the team approach at Loma Linda University Health — nationally-recognized physicians with many specialties, all working together on their care plan.”
Your health and safety is still our top priority. Appointments are available as video visits, phone calls or in-person visits as needed, with the same safe, world-class care you expect.
Epilepsy is a very challenging problem to treat. Despite nearly 20 medicines available to treat epilepsy in the United States today, failure of only two epilepsy medications means that any new medicine trial is unlikely to stop the seizures. This is called medically intractable epilepsy, which occurs in one out of three patients.
However, there is hope if you have medically intractable epilepsy. You may be a candidate for surgery with excellent results — in fact, many of our patients will have their seizures completely stopped or realize a substantial reduction in seizures.
Why Choose Loma Linda University Epilepsy Surgery
- Our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is a leading center for epilepsy care as designated by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers
- Full spectrum of diagnostic services offered, including: inpatient video EEG monitoring and outpatient EEG, MRI, PET, ictal spect and neurological testing
- Individualized treatment plan for your condition
- Treatment plans may include medication management, surgery and collaboration with behavioral health professionals
Epilepsy Surgery Options
Our neurosurgeons understand how frightening and disruptive epilepsy can be. That’s why we collaborate with neurologists and other specialists to offer you multiple options for managing your condition. From minimally invasive procedures to more complex surgical techniques, your epilepsy care team will work with you to understand which option is best for you. Some of these options include:
- Laser ablation
- Multiple subpial transection
- Responsive neurostimulation (RNS)
- Robotic surgery
- Vagus nerve stimulation
Our goal is to end or at least reduce the number of seizures you are experiencing, so you can live the fullest life possible.

Badger::Rainbow - colour functionality
use Badger::Rainbow ANSI => 'red green blue'; print red("This is red"); print green("This is green"); print blue("This is blue");
This module implements colour-related functionality. It is currently only used for debugging purposes but may be extended in the future.
This function applies an ANSI escape code to each line of text, with the effect of colouring output on compatible terminals.
use Badger::Rainbow 'ANSI_escape'; print ANSI_escape(31, 'Hello World'); # 31 is red
This function removes any ANSI escapes from the text passed as an argument.
This is an export hook which allows you to import subroutines which apply the correct ANSI escape codes to render text in colour on compatible terminals.
use Badger::Rainbox ANSI => 'red green blue'; print red("This is red"); print green("This is green"); print blue("This is blue");
Available colours are:
dark styles can also be specified.
use Badger::Rainbox ANSI => 'dark bold red green blue'; print bold red "Hello World\n"; print dark blue "Hello Badger\n";
Colours and styles can be specified as a single whitespace-delimited string or as a reference to a list of individual items.
use Badger::Rainbox ANSI => 'red green blue'; use Badger::Rainbox ANSI => ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

Hynes defends his haredi abuse policy
|Follow j. on||and|
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes reportedly said that the haredi Orthodox community is the only one in his jurisdiction in which sexual assault victims are harassed and intimidated.
In an interview in Andrea Peyser’s New York Post column, Hynes cited the insularity of Brooklyn’s haredi community and the need to protect sex-abuse victims from intimidation for his refusal to release the names of accused molesters from the community.
“I departed from the policy of identifying defendants,’’ he told Peyser. “The reason is that within days, people within this relentless community would identify the victims. Then the intimidation would start.’’
Hynes has been under attack for refusing to divulge the names. He has been criticized as trying to curry favor with the haredi Orthodox constituency, which has supported him in past elections.
The district attorney said that victims of sexual assault in the haredi community, especially children, “would be thrown out of summer camp, arranged marriages would be stopped. Kicked out of the yeshivas. It’s the only community that has this kind of problem.”
Hynes’ handling of the issue has been the subject of investigations by several media outlets, including the New York Jewish Week and the Forward. — jta
