For some hours users of the popular encrypted messaging services Signal and Telegram have been reporting problems accessing the services.
It’s unclear whether the outages are connected to each other, or what the reason for the services being offline might be. Until either service shares details, it’s just speculation whether the secure messaging services have been successfully targeted with a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, for instance.
What we do know is that there are certainly a number of forces out there who take a dim view of secure, encrypted messaging services and would like to see them disrupted.
Telegram posted on Twitter, apologising to users affected in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Some of our users in Europe and the MENA region are currently experiencing connection issues. Please hang on, we have all hands on deck to bring you back soon!

It appears that both services are now beginning to come back online, although some users are still reporting problems connecting.
Now might be a good time to remind everyone of three principles that are essential to information security: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (also known by the rather natty three letter acronym of CIA).
Many internet users use Signal and Telegram because of the benefits they can bring in terms of confidentiality and integrity, but on this particular occasion the utilities are useless without also being actually available. | <urn:uuid:b544d1b0-85b2-4bcb-9151-e5b51c6de910> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.grahamcluley.com/signal-telegram-messaging-services-offline-hours/ | 2019-11-21T20:13:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670948.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121180800-20191121204800-00182.warc.gz | en | 0.947991 | 292 |
Teleperformance is running a week-long job fair in El Paso, Texas, to hire more than 1,000 people for its call center, scheduled to open in mid-August.
The City of El Paso will pay incentives to the BPO provider in return for the jobs it creates for the local residents.The Paris, France-based company, which set aside more than US$6 million for the project, is expected to generate 1,124 jobs over the next four years.
Teleperformance, according to local newspapers, is developing an abandoned building.
With more than US$5 billion in annual revenue, Teleperformance has employed over 300,000 people around the world, providing customer services through all channels including chat, email, voice, and social media.
In the agreement, Teleperformance has promised that it would pay its employees between US$12 and US$14 per hour.
The city authorities would give US$81,666 in rebates on property tax and a building and planning fees. The company needs to meet employment targets to obtain the rebates.
“There is incredible talent and diversity in this market, and our clients see the value in the quality of the workforce,” El Paso Herald Post quoted Ryan Collins, Teleperformance Vice President of Talent Acquisition, as saying. “El Paso will be a wonderful home for our business, which provides customer care to people around the globe.” | <urn:uuid:f8b5d002-ad3f-427b-8eb4-0be9a1cf8e66> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.nearshoreamericas.com/teleperformance-hire-1000-staff-el-paso/ | 2019-10-17T09:21:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986673250.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20191017073050-20191017100550-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.956726 | 290 |

Let’s face it. Online marketing isn’t optional anymore. Without an online presence, you’ll have a really tough time reaching your target audience.
It’s 2021. The landscape has changed a bit. It may be time to change how you go about telling your story.
There may be some suckage to Yelp, but it’s not all bad. Here’s my take.
When your entire business model is “disrupted” being able to communicate directly to your list of customers and prospects becomes crucial to your company’s survival.
Location marketing is hot and getting hotter. Discover what it is, its benefits and how to do it to grow your business and expand your reach using mobile technology. | <urn:uuid:06b293fc-91b9-4d2d-a567-096a516d8d02> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://chriscarter.net/local-marketing/ | 2021-01-25T17:08:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703587074.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125154534-20210125184534-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.910377 | 157 |
Medical management of menorrhagiaBMJ 1999; 319 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.319.7221.1343 (Published 20 November 1999) Cite this as: BMJ 1999;319:1343

Excessive menstrual loss, or menorrhagia, is a significant healthcare problem in the developed world (box 1). In the United Kingdom, 5% of women of reproductive age will seek help for this symptom annually1; by the end of reproductive life the risk of hysterectomy (primarily for menstrual disorders) is 20%.2 This is also the situation in New Zealand.3 Objectively, menorrhagia is defined as a menstrual loss of 80 ml per month. Population studies have shown that this amount of loss is present in 10% of the population4 yet nearly a third of all women consider their menstruation to be excessive.5 This symptom thus creates a significant workload for health services.
Box 1: Indications for referral to a gynaecologist or for surgical management
Age over 40
Persistent intermenstrual bleeding
Failed medical treatment
Other factors—for example, abnormal smear, associated severe dysmenorrhoea
In clinical medicine the paradigm of evidence based medicine currently holds sway. Evidence based medicine implies not only the application of effective treatments but their rational use within a rational overall management framework. In the management of excessive menstrual loss there is good evidence that many doctors do not necessarily prescribe the most effective treatments. In the United Kingdom, for example, more than a third of general practitioners prescribe norethisterone—arguably the least effective option—as first line treatment, whereas only 1 in 20 prescribe tranexamic acid—probably the most effective first line treatment.6 The problem is not confined to primary care. In New Zealand, where the use of tranexamic acid is restricted to secondary care, 50% of gynaecologists still use luteal phase progestogens, and less than 10% use tranexamic acid.7
Menorrhagia is an important healthcare issue
Despite widely available evidence inappropriate treatments are being prescribed
Guidelines exist for the appropriate management of menorrhagia
Appropriate treatments enhance patient choice and may increase patient satisfaction
Medical treatments may provide an …

The primary objective of the course is to provide the students with advanced tools to address complex control problems for large-scale networked nonlinear systems with logic specifications.
We will consider a general framework where the plant to be controlled is distributed over the space. Each sub-system composing the plant is modelled as a nonlinear control system possibly subject to external disturbances and time-varying delays in the state. Non-idealities in the communication infrastructure conveying information from one sub-system to another, such as quantization, time-varying delays, limited bandwidth etc., are also considered.
We will consider a decentralized control architecture, meaning that each subsystem composing the plant is controlled through a local controller and local controllers are not allowed to communicate. Local controllers are assumed to be digital and quantized, as it is in modern engineering control applications where physical processes interact with software and hardware at the implementation level.
The logic specifications considered in this course can be formalized through regular languages over an alphabet in the state space of the spatially distributed plant. Regular languages, traditionally studied in the discrete-event systems research community, provide the means to model a rather wide variety of complex control specifications, such as for example safety, reachability, obstacle avoidance and motion planning, periodic orbits, state-based switching, as well as specifications involving sequences of smaller tasks that need to be performed according to a given order.
The theoretical tools needed to solve our control problem are based on advanced notions of stability for nonlinear and time-delay systems and advanced notions in formal methods. Regarding stability, we will review the notions of forward completeness, global asymptotic stability and input-to-state stability, and their incremental versions, for the class of nonlinear control systems; extensions of these notions to time-delay
systems will be also presented. Regarding formal methods, after having introduced the basic concepts of transition systems, trace and bisimulation equivalences, we will illustrate how these notions can be extended to metric transition systems that are used as a unifying paradigm to represent continuous systems (describing physical processes), discrete systems (describing controllers at the implementation level) and logic specifications. Examples in the context of robotics, adaptive cruise control, vehicle platooning will be presented and an overview on existing automatic tools offered.
The presentations will be tutorial on the topics covered by the course. First, the solution to the control problem will be discussed in detail for a single nonlinear control system; efficient algorithms for the synthesis of the controllers will also be given. Then, the more general framework will be illustrated step-by-step. First, extensions to nonlinear control systems with disturbances and with state time-delays will be presented. Finally, non-ideal communication infrastructure conveying information between subsystems, and spatially distributed plants will be taken into account and the solution explained in this general case..

MY NAME IS A BY ANONYMOUS (REVIEW)
Dir. Shane Ryan
Reviewer. Martyn Wakefield
The Alyssa Bustamante-inspired movie, MY NAME IS A BY ANONYMOUS, debuted in Las Vegas this past October (ed - 2012) at the Pollygrind Film Festival where it was named one of The Top 3 Films of the Festival, and also received best 'Arthouse Film'. With the real-life events being a horror scene of their own, this film is set to be as shocking as the real thing without watering anything down.
Directed and created by Shane Ryan, the movie focuses on the 15 year old Bustamante who was convicted of killing her 9 year old neighbour, Elizabeth Olten and tackles hard-hitting subjects like self mutilation by teen girls, bullying, rape, bulimia (showcasing the actual damage it does to a girl's body) and, of course, the murder. Starring Russian pop star Teona Dolnikova, Demi Baumann, Domiziano Arcangeli, introducing Katie Marsh as Alyssa, the cast of youths really hold this film together, it's hard to ignore the small budget but the gorilla style film-making add to the documentary tale being told here.
Compared to the likes of David Lynch, Larry Clark, Harmony Korine and John Cassavetes, the film dares the audience to watch it, confronting issues with kids and teenagers often sugar-coated by Hollywood. It's uncomfortable, challenging and gives an insight less so into how and more of how and why. Daringly, MY NAME IS A BY ANONYMOUS focuses the film from the lens of Alyssa and may appear to glorify the downward spiral however murderers are not born, they are created and quite often it's as a result of their surroundings and close circle that push them down a tragic path.
Based around the real life tragedy and death of a nine year old girl at the hands of two teens, each story is equal parts upsetting and reflective of the darkest corners of our existence. Dealing with issues of rape, incest, bulimia and belonging, the question lies with are these people born, or nurtured evil?
Presented over a series of chapters the innocent ramblings of teens ends in an unwatchable and drastic climax which unfortunately lead to the loss of a nine year olds life. However, eclipsed are the side stories that lay bare the truth of abandonment and abuse. Small scenes of hope only make the tragedies worse and the innocence of youth has, along with each of these girls, been abandoned.
While each girls story may, or may not, be real, the truth that this reflects the harsh reality of life only resonates a harsh insight into reality. It is with conviction that each and every character hides a fantastic actress, there are no standout performances as every leading lady deserves top billing.
Shane Ryan may have had a limited budget, which is often, visible but what he achieves is the kind of powerful statement on society that so many directors and politicians choose to ignore. This is no easy watch and as it gets deeper and darker into the events of these individuals, the film does become ever more painful to watch. Scenes of incest, scarring and watching these women, and girls, walk through their lives is brutally realistic and raw.
Yet behind its depressive viewing there is something artistically beautiful about Ryan’s film. Traversing between black and white dream sequences, gorilla style film making and home video against the real star of the film, the soundtrack, show Ryan is one to watch.
There are questions as to how the family of Elizabeth Olten feel about this but it's also impossible to ignore the age of the perpetrator. While the movie focusses on Alyssa's POV, there's very little compassion for the young victim and while Alyssa had a very troubling journey to these events, there were still choices that could have averted this and these seem to be one sided. Unlike most horror films, this is perhaps a slight bias to film making but is more a documentary and perspective that as all good media should, question and inform and allow the decision to be made by the audience.
MY NAME IS A... is a lost gem that needs to be discovered. What Ryan achieves is the kind of powerful statement on society that so many directors and politicians choose to ignore. The depressing truth makes Lars Von Trier look like Mr Happy and you leave this film feeling upset and emotionally scarred, a sign that the director’s work is that of a masterpiece and one that needs to be seen by those willing to with an open mind and context to the material and it's statement to the world. | <urn:uuid:2fa05444-d64b-4725-a13a-78123e56b9dd> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.bloodgutsuk.com/post/my-name-is-a-by-anonymous-review | 2022-05-19T06:18:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662525507.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519042059-20220519072059-00553.warc.gz | en | 0.963463 | 973 |

Most kids lose their first primary tooth around six-years-old (though it can occur earlier or later) and the visits from the Tooth Fairy typically continue until they’re 12- to 13-years-old. As cute as children look with those missing teeth, the thing parents usually want to know off the bat is how long does it take for permanent teeth to come in to replace the one that was lost? Well, it varies dramatically and the permanent tooth can make an appearance in as little as a week or take as long as six months to fully erupt.
If the permanent tooth is growing in on the slower side, it’s likely nothing to worry about. However, if you’re really concerned about permanent teeth not coming in or it takes longer than six months, you should make an appointment with an orthodontist to have your kiddo’s teeth and jaws evaluated. In the meantime, we’ll be going over some of the common reasons for a delayed eruption.
Losing Primary Teeth too Early
Primary teeth are extremely important. One of their main roles is to save space for the permanent teeth to come in properly. Ideally, a child loses a primary tooth because the corresponding permanent tooth begins to erupt and pushes it out. When a baby tooth is lost early, whether from injury or tooth decay, the permanent tooth likely won’t be ready to come in. Without a replacement quickly filling the void, the rest of the teeth have a tendency to shift into the empty area.
This can cause significant misalignment. Occasionally, it’s so crowded that it blocks the permanent tooth from erupting altogether and the tooth gets stuck in the jaw bone. Or, it will only partially erupt making it appear that the permanent tooth stopped growing. When this happens, the tooth is said to be impacted. Extraction or oral surgery (similar to getting wisdom teeth removed) could be necessary to remedy the situation.
To avoid this whole scenario, prevent premature tooth loss by making sure your child practices good oral hygiene, visits the dentist regularly and wears a mouthguard when playing sports. If a baby tooth is lost early, don’t ignore it. An orthodontist can use an appliance to maintain space until the permanent tooth is prepared to make its debut.
Not Enough Space in the Jaw
The early loss of primary teeth isn’t the only reason permanent teeth may not have room to erupt. It can also occur if the jaw isn’t large enough to accommodate them. Parents sometimes panic when gaps form in between their child’s baby teeth and think their little one will experience major spacing when they’re older.
However, it can actually be a good thing! Grown-up teeth are bigger than their primary counterparts, so when baby teeth are very close together without even the tiniest gaps, it’s a signal there won’t be enough room. When kids have a jaw that’s too small or teeth that are too wide, it’s a recipe for impacted teeth or severe crowding and other forms of malocclusion. Interceptive orthodontics, while a child is still growing, can help encourage jaw development and ensure permanent teeth will have plenty of space to do their thing.
Sometimes, teeth have a mind of their own and instead of following the primary tooth’s path, they head in the wrong direction as they try to break through the gum tissue. Unfortunately, this can occur even if they have all of the room in the world. When it happens, the permanent tooth may not erupt or parents will notice permanent teeth not coming in straight.
At Aura Orthodontics, tooth extraction is always the last resort but, if it can’t be helped, a primary tooth may need to be removed to encourage permanent teeth to stay on course. Orthodontic treatment can redirect wayward teeth as well.
Congenitally Missing Teeth
Congenitally (meaning present at birth) missing teeth are actually a lot more common than many people realize. While it’s most frequently the wisdom teeth, some people are missing one or both of their upper lateral incisors or second premolars. Since it’s genetic, it’s very likely someone else in the family has the same condition.
With congenitally missing teeth, the permanent teeth never develop at all. Often, the primary teeth will stay in place since there’s nothing to push them out. If they are lost because of tooth decay, gum disease or trauma, no permanent tooth exists to take its place. A bridge or partial denture can be used to replace the missing tooth – or teeth – but dental implant surgery will bring about the most natural-looking, lasting results.
Keep in mind, however, it can’t be performed until the jaw is done growing. Regardless of the route you choose to take, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to shift the rest of the teeth into place prior to getting a dental prosthesis. For an implant, an appliance will be fitted to save space until the time is right for surgery.
Supernumerary Primary Teeth
Less commonly, in a case of permanent teeth not coming down, supernumerary teeth are to blame. Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth. They can develop in association with different conditions like cleft palate, Gardner’s syndrome, or cleidocranial dysostosis, though they may just occur on their own.
These additional teeth crop up anywhere in the dental arch and have the potential to block the permanent teeth. While treatment varies, most of the time, it will involve extracting the supernumerary tooth. If it led to tooth or jaw misalignment, this can be corrected with orthodontic treatment.
Failure of Eruption
Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is extremely rare. It occurs when the permanent teeth are present and have a clear path but fail to erupt or only erupt partially and then stop. PFE is genetic. When multiple teeth are affected, treatment can take several years and consist of different steps. The most common approach is using oral surgery and orthodontic treatment to coax the teeth out. If extractions are needed, then a good option is braces to close the gap followed by dental implant surgery.
Mechanical failure of eruption is another type and may involve ankylosis, which is when the tooth or teeth are fused to the bone and can’t break loose. There are a number of treatments including leaving the tooth where it is and making it look better with cosmetic dentistry procedures, using a surgical procedure to loosen the tooth followed by orthodontic treatment to shift it into place or extraction and placement of a dental prosthesis.
The Bottom Line
While all of this information can be a little overwhelming, many of the causes are rare and, in most cases, the problem can be treated. Both the Canadian and American Association of Orthodontists say children should see an orthodontist by age seven so they can have their developing teeth and jaws evaluated. Well, in addition to being super friendly Surrey orthodontists, Dr. Sharma and Dr. Lin are both trained in dentofacial orthopedics, meaning they’re pros in growth and development and troubleshooting issues.
They can assess your child and make sure everything is on track. If they do spot red flags, they’ll make an accurate diagnosis and recommend the correct treatment to guide the permanent teeth into their proper places. This will help your child avoid more extensive, costly correction down the road.

The Swedish King and Queen welcomed Italian President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter Laura yesterday for the start of a state visit. For the official welcome at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Queen Silvia wore a new hat.
With a blocked peacock blue felt wave-shaped base, the hat is trimmed with a grey diamond woven veil and a ruffled flower made of grey felt and grey and blue silk. The gentle curves of the base frame Silvia’s head so beautifully and the combination of trim adds another layer of softness. I particularly love the pop of blue to contrast against her exquisite silver grey suit- it’s a good look for her.

Jim Avett of Concord, North Carolina, is the son of a Methodist minister and a classical pianist who grew up in a home full of love and music, a home where he learned the importance of hard work and honest living. He and his wife instilled these same values in their children, tempered with a lot of fun, and of course, music. Jim’s guitar was an ever present instrument, and there was always singing.
As much as he enjoyed writing and performing music, Jim put his family first and spent 35 years running his welding company, building bridges along much of the east coast in order to provide for them. After retiring from welding, he returned to music and recorded Jim Avett and Family, a collection of gospel music, with his children, Bonnie, Scott and Seth in 2008. (Scott and Seth are core members of The Avett Brothers, who helped establish The Étude Sessions in Season 3.) Soon after, in 2010, he released Tribes, a collection of original tunes ranging from soulful love ballads like the title track to the more lighthearted, "Fight with a Bottle of Booze". In Second Chance, Jim’s latest offering, the influences of classic country and early rock and roll are apparent. Once again, he draws on life experiences to write songs about love ("Pictures in the Attic"), boyhood memories, ("Willard"), and loss ("Holy Ground"). | <urn:uuid:5ada9a74-c588-4ab3-9c8b-4f66fb20f7d1> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | http://www.etudegroup.org/etude-sessions/2017-2018-season-5/jim-avett/ | 2019-12-08T07:27:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540507109.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20191208072107-20191208100107-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.972923 | 291 |

About this title
Black Knights and Starshine
Amid ridicule and hardship, Molec Ross has taken the enormous responsibility of leading one hundred and twenty men, women, and children who are all newly freed slaves from Mississippi to Indian Territory in Oklahoma. They have no animals so they harness themselves to hand-made conveyances to haul their meager possessions. Molec soon learns his people are ill-prepared to face the hardships without masters to tell them step-by-step what to do. He sees the need for education and proper speech, so he embarks upon a crusade to ready his people for self-sufficiency. Molec's seventeen year old wife, Rumella, known to him as Starshine, is the love of his life, his reason for not giving up. Molec is her protector and lover. Death, hardships, and the Ku Klux Klan cannot erase their love--but it raises questions which need answers.About the Author:
I enjoy writing historical fiction that takes place in the time when my grandmother lived. Because of her and a great amount of research, I have a rich store of knowledge to call on. With a little creativity, I can take a piece of a memory and weave a story the way I fathom it might have happened. I love to transport myself to the late 1800s and write about a time not so long ago when the ten commandments were obeyed, and Godly morals were the accepted way of living, although not always adhered to. In my books, immoral, evil people, and criminals received their just dues. Since I love children, the down-trodden, and people of color, I write about the hardships they've endured, and being sensitive to their wants and needs, I write stories about their successes and their defeats.
I married young, and 56 years later the one love of my life left me for Heaven. We have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.
I have been published in over 20 magazines, and have published 50 novels, mostly of the West.
I also write true stories about my handicapped son, my children, myself, and the memory of my wonderful husband.

Guidelines relaxed to allow more New Mexicans to be tested.
SANTA FE –The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) is providing today revised testing criteria announced by Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Kathy Kunkel during Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Thanks to increased statewide testing capacity, the following people may now be considered for COVID-19 testing:
- Asymptomatic people who are close contacts or household members of New Mexico residents who have already tested positive for the coronavirus;
- Asymptomatic residents in nursing homes;
- Asymptomatic people in congregant settings such as homeless shelters, group homes, detention centers;
- Symptomatic people displaying the COVID-19 symptoms of cough, fever or shortness of breath.
Previous testing criteria consisted of those symptomatic or a recent out of state or country travel history.
“Studies are suggesting that asymptomatic people may be driving the spread of COVID-19, making it more difficult for containment,” said Secretary Kunkel. “If we can keep more asymptomatic COVID-19 positive patients at home and not out in public, the more effective we will be at flattening the curve.”
New Mexicans with health-related questions can call our coronavirus hotline at 855-600-3453. For non-health-related questions or concerns call 833-551-0518 or visit newmexico.gov, which is being updated and finalized as a one-stop source for information.
The state Department of Health updates its dedicated COVID-19 webpage with additional tests as the state lab provides results.

One hundred and eight: "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" from Running with Scissors
One of the many miracles of Al’s careers, and when you write about Al in the depth that I have, you notice and recognize miracles, is that he’s an extremely white man who has managed to do a fair amount of ethnic material through the years yet has remained beloved. He’s slipped inside the personas, costumes and sonic outfits of pop icons of various races, genders, body sizes and ethnicities yet always hung onto his fundamental Alness, and with it the public’s love but also its understanding.
Al’s public knows these songs are done with affection, love, care and attention to detail and consequently are quick to laugh and slow to take offense. That said, the ethnic stuff has not aged as well as the rest. I doubt that Al would include “Taco Grande” or “Lasagna” among his personal favorites, even if they’re actually less #problematic than you might imagine.
“Taco Grande” is just as adorably goofy and sadistically infectious today as it was when it was released twenty-seven year ago. Twenty seven years ago! That makes me feel old, as does my advanced age and the looming specter of death that haunts my every step. Speaking of Mexican food, The Offspring lead singer and songwriter Dexter Holland, whose “Pretty Fly for a White Guy” inspired “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi”, wrote the song to make fun of clueless cultural appropriation and both
- Rocked dreadlocks for a very long time despite being the whitest man in existence, narrowly beating out best-selling author Nicholas Sparks
- Owns his own hot sauce brand, Gringo Bandito, whose label features Holland in a sombrero
so maybe this wasn’t the best glass house for Holland to hurl his satirical rocks from. To paraphrase the chorus of “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi”, Oy vey, Oy vey! As people who lived through the time can wearily attest, “Fly for a White Guy” was ubiquitous and inescapable for the worst reasons. It's a glib, annoying ear worm taking lazy comedic aim at one of the weakest and most over-explored subjects for comedy ever: clueless, delusional white boys who adopt the cultural signifiers of blackness in a desperate and inherently doomed attempt to be “down.”
“Pretty Fly for a White Guy” wasn’t just annoying: it’s also pretty much a novelty song, a comedy song, an instantly dated embarrassment with corny dad joke lyrics about The Ricki Lake Show, Vanilla Ice, Pintos and how the “brothers” in “the hood” will kick your “lily white (rear end)” if you wander into their territory, a gag that was racist and awful back when it was employed in Vacation.
So with “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi” Al wasn’t taking the piss out of some ponderous pop anthem: he was making a funny song about a song that desperately tries to be funny with the same dogged and failed persistence as its deluded caucasian subject.
Ten albums into his career as a recording artist, Al was finally dipping into the bottomless well of humor that is the Jewish joke, specifically the Rabbi joke. Al spends the entire song gushing about the titular Man of the Lord and Man of the Book, who is known and loved in his community as a big macher due to his hard work, good deals and righteous ways.
“Pretty Fly for a Rabbi” doubles as a makeshift encyclopedia of the most commonly employed Yiddish phrases, but it’s also a collection of Jewish stereotypes, most notably the one involving Jews being cheap and bargain-hungry. Al doubles down pretty hard on this line of humor, bragging of his subject, “He does his own accounting”, “He shops at discount stores, not just any will suffice/He has to find a bargain, ’cause he won't pay retail price” and “He never acts meshugga and he's hardly a schlemiel/But if you wanna haggle, oy, he'll make you such a deal!”
Those are a lot of jokes about Jews loving to haggle and chase bargains but they’re done with such affection and care that they cease to be offensive. This faithful recycling of hoary old stereotypes made less of an impression on me than both Al’s extensive and impressive use of Yiddish slang and his mastery of not just the themes of Jewish comedy, but the specific rhythms and inflections as well.
And as someone who is on record as going nuts over the old jokes, the dad jokes, the street jokes, the gags that have been passed down from one generation of goofball to another, it gives me entirely too much nachas that Al fulfills the prophecies of the elders and used his Rabbi song to lovingly resurrect the old gag about the best part about being a mohel (the person who performs a bris) being that they get to keep the tip, only in this case, the mohel performs the ritual circumcision, and then the rabbi gets to keep the tip, presumably in the form of both the money parents present to the rabbi and the mohel for their services and also, the tip of the penis, or the foreskin that has just been removed.
A lot of people think Al is Jewish. “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi” will do nothing to discourage that incorrect belief. Al speaks the language of Jewish humor quite fluently, with the ease and grace of a native speaker. It’s only too fitting that Al’s big foray into the world of Judaism is defined by a very Jewish love of the possibilities of language, Yiddish and English alike.
As a Jew, I’m flattered and charmed by “Pretty Fly for A Rabbi” rather than insulted. It’s not just Kosher; it’s worth kvelling about!

Remember Attenborough’s soothing voice on a Sunday night? For many watching nature on TV at an early age kick-started a passion for wildlife and future careers in the fields of conservation and biology. In June’s Conservation Conversation we discussed nature documentaries and science: what we think is good about them now in terms of science communication, and where we think they could go in the future to contribute more. Nature documentaries and their presenters have a huge following; tapping into that following would be invaluable for communicating science to a broad spectrum of people.
This month’s Conservation Conversation came about from watching another sort of conversation between Chris Packham, George Monbiot and Jeremy Deller. The trio talked about art, nature and the messages given out through nature documentaries (unfortunately this particular episode of Chris Packham’s Natural Selection is no longer on BBC iplayer so we can’t provide a link). As part of their conversation they illustrated how well science can be communicated on the TV by showing “How wolves change rivers” narrated by George Monbiot.
They also discussed the realism, or lack thereof, of what we’re seeing in nature documentaries. This is certainly something that came up in our conversation too: there seems to be a bit of disparity between what we’re researching in the field of conservation and ecology, and what is being shown on the telly. For conservationists the realism of these wonderful wildlife spectacles is the growing threats to it such as loss of habitat, poaching, and climate change. Often there is now a single episode, maybe at the end of a series, which is dedicated to the impacts humans are having on all the fabulous things we’ve been watching every Sunday night for the past six weeks or so. But is there too much emphasis on the purely negative impacts people are having on the planet? Could more positive interactions be shown too so that people don’t feel disconnected and disheartened by what they know we’re collectively messing up? For example, if we’re shown the negative impacts we’re having, but also the good work that people are doing to try and turn things around, perhaps this would re-connect people to the issues and more positives could come about?
Thinking about “How wolves change rivers” we wondered about how to talk about the complexity of the science and issues we’re dealing with. It’s not black and white out there in the conservation world. There are interactions which change over space and time, both between plants and animals, and humans and the environment. These changing complexities are fascinating, but perhaps detract from the story TV programmers wants to tell. How much complexity does the audience want? It’s hard to get the balance between things being scientifically correct and enjoyable to watch. After all, TV is a wind-down for most after the 10 o’clock news, when easily digestible facts are probably preferred. One of the big themes to come out of our conversation was that of knowing your audience.
Next up is conflict. There’s a lot of human-wildlife conflict out there which doesn’t necessarily get the air time it deserves. But is there a danger of this becoming very political? Perhaps more investigative journalism is needed? “Panorama” for the natural world? What about if scientists themselves were more outspoken about their big ideas and research conclusions, sparking big conversations and debate? Should we be a bit more Monbiot…a little controversial at times, but planting the seeds for discussion amongst many people who might not usually communicate with each other? These are obvious benefits, but perhaps getting sucked into big debates in the media is exactly what puts scientists off doing this. A recent article published in the journal Conservation Letters explores the issues raised when conservation scientists take up advocacy in public debate.
Another interesting thought we had was that if wildlife documentaries were to change now, perhaps introducing more stories about human-nature interaction, would a different generation of conservationists be borne? Are we the product of watching Attenborough on a Sunday night?
Something that we all came away agreeing on is that becoming a bit more media savvy is no bad thing as a scientist. Why not take a break from your data analysis, grant application, or whatever else you’re supposed to be doing instead of reading this blog, and be inspired by the following innovative science communication films:

Performances Of Wide Enrichment to Raise awareness on different abilities and promote integration
Programme and call
Creative Europe, CULTURE Sub-programme, Cultural cooperation projects – Call 2018
The POWER project was conceived by Coop. Nazareno (IT) and 3 partner organisations (GR, CZ, SP) to promote the transnational co-production of a play with disabled actors, as well as the mobility of artists; POWER aims to increase the skills and knowledge of operators who usually organise artistic activities for disabled people, in order to improve their preparation and their skills regarding good practices to be adopted. POWER will also improve the participation of young and old in theatrical activities, through actions of empowerment of the public in schools and through the organization of daytime replicas of performances specifically designed for them.
The general objective of the project is also to give greater visibility and resonance to theatrical performances and training activities that actively involve people with disabilities. POWER intends to enhance and promote as a true artistic expression this theatrical genre, which is difficult to find adequate visibility in traditional theatres and theatre seasons, and even more difficult to allow people with disabilities / actors to circulate in foreign countries to stage their performance.
At the same time the social impact of the project will be very significant, since disabled people will fight those stigmas and social prejudices that usually make them feel “less” able than “normal people”, thus increasing their self-esteem and feeling more included in the society where they live thanks to the support of specially trained operators. On the other hand, the social impact will be on the whole society, which will change the traditional perception towards disabled people.
– To strengthen and improve the artistic skills of people with disabilities, in particular in the field/sector of entertainment, and to promote their transnational mobility;
– To improve the social integration of disabled people and migrants through theatre as a universal language and barrier-free tool;
– To raise public awareness of a theatrical genre interpreted by a different artistic group and to develop a new audience for this particular artistic genre;
– To increase the active engagement of young and old people in theatre events through training courses on artistic and social awareness at school and through daytime replicas of performances in the theatre or in nursing homes;
– To strengthen the skills and competences of operators working with disabled people, both in the artistic/creative and in the social field;
– To create a long-term collaboration between artistic groups and institutions working in the field of disability and other social issues at national and international level.
– Collection of personal stories in the context of immigration and disability
– Transnational art residencies for art directors to define/elaborate performances and workshops at local level in all countries to prepare performances
– Production of the show in the partner countries
– Elaboration and implementation of a transnational training course for theatre and disability operators
– Public development activities for schools, young and old
The main expected results are:
> increase in the skills of theatre professionals and social workers on the methodologies to be adopted to involve disabled people in theatre
> Increased skills of disabled and migrant artists in the production and staging of a performance and increased capacity to cooperate at European level with colleagues and professionals in the sector.
> promotion of the social value of theatre activities and awareness of the potential offered by disability and diversity in general in the arts, as well as increased attention of the local community to new creative processes that promote inclusion
Nazarene Social Cooperative Society
The partnership is made up of 4 players from 4 different countries:
– Nazareno Società Cooperativa Sociale – EN
– AM.A – Theater for People with Disabilities- GR
– Studio Citadela, z.s.- CZ
– Camphill Communities of Ireland – KCAT -IE
The project has a duration of 24 months (1 September 2018 – 31 August 2020)

Coat of arms of Estonia, state title, year
Muhu mänd, stars, value
|v · d · e|
The 15.65 kroon coin is a commemorative piece that was issued by the Republic of Estonia in 1999 to celebrate the introduction of the euro and the 80th anniversary of the Bank of Estonia, which was founded in 1919. It was distributed by the Bank of Estonia and sold via the bank's museum from May 3, 1999, to mid-2004 for a price of 600.00 krooni. Commissioned to strike the coin was the Austrian Mint in Vienna. The piece had a legal tender face value equivalent to 15.65 krooni prior to its demonetization. This unusual non-integer value was selected because at the time of the coin's introduction, it was the approximate amount of krooni equal to one euro.
The coin is composed of .900 fine gold and has a mass of 1.73 grams and a diameter of 13.92 millimeters. It has medallic alignment and is round in shape. Both sides of the piece were designed by Estonian sculptor Tiiu Kirsipuu (1957–), whose submissions to a closed 1998 coin design competition were accepted over those of five other individuals. Featured in the middle of the obverse is the coat of arms of Estonia – which consists of a central escutcheon bearing three lions passant guardant, above a wreath consisting of two oak branches intersecting at the ends. Inscribed in a clockwise direction along the upper rim of the piece, above the arms, is the Estonian state title of the Republic of Estonia – "EESTI VABARIIK" – and written counterclockwise along the bottom periphery, below the heraldic depiction in the coin's center, is the date "1999". Featured in the middle of the reverse is the Muhu mänd, a cross-like symbol used in Estonia since ancient times. It superimposes a spiral that symbolizes development and movement. Arched along the upper and right rims of the reverse are eleven five-pointed stars representing the states that were joining the third stage of the European Monetary Union: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Between the end of the spiral and the eleventh star is the number "15,65", and curved around the bottom periphery in small print is the accompanying word "KROONI".
As many as 5,000 examples of the coin were produced, all with a proof finish.

Target Corporation (TGT): An Irresistible “Buy” Signal
Steve Mauzy: Dividends are the most reliable signaling mechanism: When increased, they usually foreshadow sunshine and smooth sailing. When cut, they usually foreshadow gloom and turbulence.
Investors would be wise to heed Target Corp.’s (NYSE: TGT) quarterly dividend, which was not only increased, it was increased by an eyebrow-raising amount – 21%. The latest increase lifts the annual yield to 3.6%, a full percentage point higher than rival Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE:WMT).
Annual dividend increases are nothing new for Target. The dividend has been increased annually since 1972. That the dividend is increased in double-digit percentages is also par for the course. The dividend has been increased at a 10%-or-better rate for the past 17 years.
The latest dividend increase, though, holds special significance: It signals that all is well within Target and that improvements are on the way.
Of course, the perception among investors these days is that all isn’t well. Events over the past year support that perception.
First, Target attempted to jump-start growth with an ambitious move into Canada. Over the past 12 months, 127 stores were opened. To say the move into the Great White North was poorly executed would be the understatement of the year. In 2013, Target’s Canadian operations lost $941 million.
The perception of a troubled company was exacerbated by a Christmas-season security breech. In late November/early December, hackers infiltrated Target’s information systems to abscond with 40 million credit and debit card numbers and the personal data of 70 million shoppers.
Now, overlay poor execution and a massive security breach with a sense of consumer ennui – evinced by six-consecutive quarters of falling traffic – and there’s little wonder that Target’s shares are down 20% over the past 12 months.
But that was the past. Investing is always about the future, and for Target investors, a 21%- dividend hike.
The board of directors wasted little time in giving CEO Gregg Steinhafel his walking papers. A couple weeks after Steinhafel was dispatched, the head of Target Canada, Anthony Fisher, also found himself unemployed. | <urn:uuid:be273c08-1c32-41d6-a53e-00733264c473> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://investingchannel.com/article/310025/Target-Corporation-TGT-An-Irresistible-Buy-Signal | 2016-10-28T06:19:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721558.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00006-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953602 | 481 |
Updated: January 2013
Invasive nonnative plant species have existed in the Park since before its establishment in 1971. Ring counts of English ivy stems cut on trees in the year 2000 were as high as 35 years. The earliest known attempts at control focussed on the ivy, the most visible and pervasive of the many nonnative species. In those days it was also the largest known threat to the ecosystem of the Park.
Elinor Levin started removing ivy occasionally in 1983, and more often starting in 1988. During her first few years of this effort, complaints about it at the front desk were common. At that time she collected the ivy in plastic bags for removal from the Park.
At a 1993 retreat, the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Park established a “Kill the Ivy” program under Elinor’s leadership. Thus began in 1994 the second Saturday (each month) community “ivy pulls” which were advertised for anyone to participate in. Help was also solicited from schools, some of which sent groups of students to perform community service under Friends’ leadership. The Multnomah County Community Corrections Dept. was also invited to send crews of people performing court-mandated community service, and did so at times.
Herbicide treatment of ivy was tested in a remote upland area of the Park with promising results. Due to concerns about effects on other species no broader application was tried.
In 1995 the Ivy Subcommittee was established after the Board retreat proposed developing an Adopt-A-Plot (AAP) program for control of ivy and other invasive nonnative plants. A draft proposal developed by Mel Taylor was reviewed by the Friends’ Board and Park staff, all supporting the program. Phil Hamilton agreed to coordinate the effort.
With these expanded efforts involving many people, the ivy pulled was no longer removed from the Park but was piled and left to die and compost. Second Saturday work parties cut mature ivy growing up trees in the vicinity of the Nature Center during the next few years and, with help from other groups, pulled ground ivy along trails in that area. In the early 1990s one busy volunteer cut ivy growing up trees on over a hundred acres. The AAP program quickly grew to about 10 adopters, where it plateaued, with most plots near Tryon Creek or the Nature Center. Six of the adopters aggressively attacked their plots and made noticeable differences.
In 1997 Dave Kruse got involved in the effort and took over management of the AAP program in 1998 while Phil, as Eco/Trails (formerly Building & Trails) Committee Chair, coordinated the various other nonnative species removal efforts. Within a couple of years the AAP program had 20 adopters, with many of the new plots concentrated on the west side of the Park near adopters’ homes. Simultaneously, the effort to cut mature ivy infesting trees expanded, with a few dedicated individuals plus volunteer groups from PGE (enlisted by Dave) working throughout the Park to save trees.
Attention started to broaden to other nonnative species in 1999, first focussing on Himalayan blackberries along Tryon Creek, where George Toepfer and Brent Foster began digging them. Dave Kruse and Phil Hamilton continued this work and later got help from several others. In 2000 observers first became aware of the invasiveness of clematis vitalba, a vine from Europe which was threatening to overtop trees in some locations just as ivy was. At first the clematis patches, which were more scattered than ivy (though numbering about 600 patches), were cut, a parallel with the treatment of ivy on trees. After observing 50 or more feet of annual re-growth of cut vines, emphasis shifted to digging its roots, often a major task as mature vines have very convoluted, overlapping roots
Garlic mustard, a biennial plant, was first noticed in the 1980s but was not recognized as invasive until 1999, when pulling efforts began. The other plant that was first noticed and dug about that time was knotweed, primarily a creek-side invader. Scots broom was showing up between the bike path and Terwilliger Boulevard, and was promptly dug or cut. In several parts of the Park, Dave Kruse cut English holly and laurel, starting in 1999.
In the early 2000s Dave Kruse and Phil Hamilton aggressively pursued all recognized clematis patches except a number south of Iron Mountain trail and northwest of Boones Ferry Road. The latter group were attacked by 2004, while control of many of the ones south of Iron Mountain Trail also began then.
Community service crews from Multnomah County had helped with ivy control in the 1990s, but in 2002 they increased their participation, so progress against ivy in the upper loops around the Nature Center, as well as some locations west of the Creek, accelerated. Those crews also helped to substantially reduce Himalayan blackberry infestations west of the Creek and along the bike path.
Starting in 2001 Clackamas County crews joined the ivy control effort and also dug many blackberries, mainly along Iron Mountain Trail. In 2004 they dug a series of major clematis patches along Terwilliger Boulevard south of Iron Mountain Trail. Those were the last major patches in the main unit of the Park that had been visible to the general public, other than ones in the steep canyon just upstream from the Highway 43 culvert on Tryon Creek. In the winter of 2005-2006 they killed ivy on many trees south of Iron Mountain Trail and east of the Creek, the second time that had been done. Later in 2006 Phil Hamilton led a few other people to cut ivy on trees previously not saved on the steep slopes and near the Creek in this area.
The first major restoration planting effort in the Park took place early in 2000 when the Friends of Trees and the Boy Scouts collaborated to plant hundreds of bare-root conifers and hardwoods in easily accessible areas along the Creek where blackberries had been dug earlier in the winter. This was under-planting of deteriorating alder stands.
Soon after that, with grants from PGE and donations from two PGE employees, the Friends bought conifers (mostly western red cedar) for planting in forest canopy holes where blackberry and/or clematis thickets had been removed. Later donations for plants came from private individuals. The objective was to develop shade over time to minimize reinvasion by these sun-loving non-natives. Experiencing difficulties doing regular maintenance of plantings of bare-root and small (one gallon) potted plants, which suffered from shading by nettle, in 2001 the Friends started buying two gallon (4 to 5 foot) trees to plant in accessible locations. By late 2010 well over a thousand trees larger than bare-root had been planted, some having grown by then more than 20 feet tall. Planting continued in 2011 and 2012, with plant purchase funded by grants from the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.
Starting in 2004 willow and red osier dogwood cuttings were planted adjacent to Tryon Creek. From 2008 through 2012 other shrubs and some trees were planted inside the North Horse Loop in locations where little understory remained after removal of ivy and blackberries.
The attacks on invasive species continued throughout the early 2000s. | <urn:uuid:7a94775e-cf18-44fe-85fe-8eb03bf4ce9c> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.tryonfriends.org/invasive-species-control-history-general-summary/ | 2017-05-27T08:02:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608877.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527075209-20170527095209-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.977394 | 1,508 |

We had more rain and thunderstorms to deal with this morning, but that only affected our Tai Chi workout and early-morning play time while we waited for everything to dry before we could do things like play at the park.
Starting out the day with an indoor workout wasn’t as much fun, but we had bonus fun with the extra kids and teens at breakfast while we also watched the last bits of rain from the comfort of the sunroom. Since we couldn’t just run out and play, we took our time with getting ready for the day; I helped Mom with the morning chores; and then eventually headed out to play for the day. Dawn, Jillian, Jaimie, Kaitlyn, and Kara all helped with taking care of the gang of younger kids we had with us, and while I’m thinking about them; I should probably mention that Dawn and Jillian are getting a lot of attention around here from the appropriately-aged guys here – even though they’re not available for summer vacation dating this year due to having current boyfriends back at home. That’s true for some of the guys here too – including their favorite guys from two summers ago – Tommy Reynolds and Julian Sparks. I’ll go ahead and lamely mention that I’m sensing continuing sparks flying between Jillian and Julian the couple of times we’ve seen him so far this week; but he’s currently dating too and isn’t the kind of guy to mess up by running around and flirting with other girls.
That’s gotten a bit off-track; so let’s get back to the report. Michael was working today again, so I only spent time with him on his breaks – and he didn’t come over after work because he stayed until close and then will be back there again for the breakfast shift. The early rain and wet kept us from doing any major fun adventures today or a camping night again either due to the risk of more storms tonight; but we did still have fun – even if that was mostly more of the same as the past couple of days with park play, swimming, canoeing, and some biking in the afternoon. It was hot and humid again by this afternoon too; so there were bonus breaks for ice cream and an afternoon nap for a few of the youngest kids.
While we didn’t want to risk having the kids outdoors if there are any storms overnight, it was nice-enough out for a campfire tonight; so we did that for a couple of hours instead of another movie and gaming night. We started that a bit early; wrapped it up by ten-thirty; and then we headed in and up to bed with time for a girl chat before Dawn, Jillian, and I took care of getting Ehlana, Naomi, Leah, and Robyn tucked in for the night in Ehlana’s room. The two younger girls had felt left out when the older Johnson cousins were getting to do extra sleepovers; so Ehlana fixed that by inviting them to spend the night with her and Naomi – and earned a lot of bonus points for that with Leah and Robyn.
I came back up to my room after that and got ready for bed; met up with Dawn and Jillian in the lounge; and we ended up watching a movie together while winding down from a busy, toddler-rated play day. They texted with their boyfriends quite a bit while we did that too, and we had a bonus bedtime chat with Violet when she checked in with us after getting home from some hang-out time with Dillon’s family.
All of that meant that I didn’t get started on my family business work until a bit after one o’clock, and since I was too tired for time phasing; I worked in ‘real’ time to get that – and the rest of my usual bedtime computing – finished. That’s made for a late night, but I’m ready to take the weekend off now; and we have a very important day ahead of us tomorrow – Brianna’s first birthday!
I’m going to need to keep up with all of the fun and work that’s going to be part of her big day, and if the weather cooperates; we’ll do a camping night too. That won’t be decided until sometime tomorrow, but I’m hoping we’ll get to do that – especially for the cousins that are only here until Sunday and haven’t gotten to have as much fun as we normally try to do with them so far this year. We do have plans for Saturday too, though, so that’s another reason for me to get what sleep I can now – even though I’ll need to do a bit of self-healing to make up for the lack of sleep too when I get up in a couple of hours or so.
The play time with my brother, sister, cousins, and friends is worth the extra effort; and I’m going to keep focusing on that as much as I can over the next week and a few days – except for when I need to be at the Inn to help out there too. Now I’m just dragging this out for no real reason, though, and I really am past-ready to be in nap mode; so, until next time...

FORT MYERS, Fla. – In a little more than two weeks, Phillies right-hander Jerome Williams could be facing off against a very familiar lineup.
After missing his last start because of a tweaked right hamstring, Williams returned to the mound Sunday against the Boston Red Sox — the opponent he will likely go up against in his first start of the regular season as the Phillies’ No. 3 starter. Williams hopes he doesn’t repeat his performance Sunday the next time he faces Boston.
The Red Sox tagged Williams for five runs (four earned) and 10 hits, including two home runs, in three innings pitched at JetBlue Park. Williams used two strikeouts and forced two ground-ball double plays to limit what could have been even bigger innings in the 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.
“Yeah, it is a good lineup out there,” Williams said. “I wanted to get my work in, get back on that mound and see how everything is. Yeah, the lineup is rough, but the quality of the pitches wasn’t quite there. Pretty much up in the zone. But overall, I think it was a good test for my hamstring and my body.”
Williams threw only one bullpen between his two starts, limited by his hamstring. Should the Phillies keep the pitchers on the same schedule, Williams will make two more Grapefruit League starts before the regular season begins.
Is that enough time for Williams to be ready?
“You’re talking to the guy that was with three teams last year,” Williams said. “The guy that had 30-something appearances in the bullpen and had one start before I came over to Philly so, yeah, I’ll be ready.”
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said there were no discussions to have Williams instead pitch in a minor league game to help him avoid facing the Red Sox. Even though it was his first start in 10 days, Williams’ decrease in velocity stood out to Sandberg.
“He was off his game,” Sandberg said. “He was actually throwing too many strikes. He was getting 0-2 on almost every hitter and then wasn’t making quality pitches at 0-2, and some of those balls were good swings resulting in hits. He was sharp to get to 0-2. But he wasn’t as sharp as he wanted to be once he got the hitters in the hole.”
The Red Sox hitters who did the most damage against Williams on Sunday are the same players the right-hander will see in a rematch in April. Hanley Ramirez hit a home run, Pablo Sandoval went 2 for 2, Dustin Pedroia reached base twice and Mookie Betts doubled and hit an inside-the-park home run, with a big assist to Odubel Herrera in center field.
Herrera misplayed the ball of the wall and then got spun around and couldn’t see the ball landed near his feet.
“When twinkletoes out there was going in a circle,” Williams jokingly said about when he knew it’d be an inside-the-park homer. “I saw it go over (Herrera’s) head and the first thing that came out of my mouth, was like, ‘How did you hit that?’ Because it was so down and then it hit the fence and bounced over him.”
Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp said they didn’t adjust the gameplan or the pitches he called even though Williams may soon face the same hitters.
“They came out swinging, and that happens sometimes,” Rupp said. “Ten days off, getting back in the groove, miss some spots — that’s part of it. He got back out there and continued to battle.”
Every player always cautions about reading too much into spring performances, and that’s no different for the Phillies. Considering three of the Phillies’ top four starters have missed at least one start during spring training, making it through the final two weeks healthy and ready to go for the season is their top focus as they work into game shape.
“As for today, it was kind of a shaky one,” Williams said. “See, I’m throwing the ‘C’ game and then the ‘A’ game (in the regular season).” | <urn:uuid:59e5ad50-56c2-438d-8db3-211d28c7d7f2> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.thedailyjournal.com/story/sports/2015/03/22/phillies-williams-rough-outing-red-sox/25201245/?from=new-cookie | 2018-07-19T06:03:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590559.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20180719051224-20180719071224-00193.warc.gz | en | 0.978872 | 929 |
Special Session of the Participants' Relevant Experts on Renewable Energies and Water Projects. 23-24 June 2005
The experts of the Participants to the Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits met on 23-24 June at the OECD, Paris to discuss international guidelines for assessing the environmental impact of hydropower projects in the context of the Participants’ recent Agreement to provide special terms and conditions for the financing of renewable energies and water projects. Under the Agreement on Renewable Energies and Water projects, maximum repayment terms are extended to 15 years - as opposed to the 12-year maximum for conventional power plant and 8.5/10 years maximum for water projects.
In their discussions, the experts exchanged views on various guidelines and tools, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Environmental Guidelines, the World Bank Operational and Safeguard Policies and the World Commission on Dams Report. In their discussions, the experts benefited from the presence of representatives from the EBRD, the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme and from written submissions from some Non Governmental Organisations, The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (the World Conservation Union) and other interested stakeholders.
The discussions, which are ongoing, will contribute to the deliberations of the Participants to the Arrangement on whether or not they consider that the OECD Recommendation on Export Credits and the Environment needs to be augmented for large hydropower projects. In the meantime, hydropower projects are not yet eligible for the extended 15-year repayment terms. | <urn:uuid:1eb43581-527e-48da-a07b-7fd51d38b743> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.oecd.org/tad/xcred/specialsessionoftheparticipantsrelevantexpertsonrenewableenergiesandwaterprojects23-24june2005.htm | 2017-05-27T13:57:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608954.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527133144-20170527153144-00424.warc.gz | en | 0.898088 | 319 |

Motorcycle accidents are traumatic events in many ways. The injuries and losses that the motorcyclist has experienced is only part of the issues that they must face after the accident. The insurance claim and compensation process are also very complicated.
After a motorcycle accident happens, the victim will always have many questions. To reduce the stress of our client’s experience after an accident, we have tried to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about motorcycle accidents.
These questions are just some of the common questions asked by clients in our office. To have all of your questions answered, you are encouraged to schedule a free consultation with a NJ motorcycle accident lawyer.
Can I File A Personal Injury Lawsuit In New Jersey For A Motorcycle Accident?
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. If the injury victim was a minor, the parent or guardian of the minor must file a lawsuit on their behalf.
Does New Jersey Have Helmet Laws?
Yes. New Jersey requires that everyone driving or riding on a motorcycle wear a DOT-approved helmet. If you were not wearing a helmet when the accident occurred, making a claim for compensation can become more complicated.
What Should I Do After A Motorcycle Accident?
- Never admit fault, apologize or assume even partial responsibility for the accident
- File a police report and gather witness information if possible
- Get medical attention right away
- Contact a New Jersey motorcycle accident attorney
What Type of Damages Am I Entitled To For My Accident?
- Economic Damages – such as medical expenses current and future relating to the injury, lost wages and benefits and similar tangible expenses
- Non-Economic Damages – such as pain and suffering and similar damages
- Punitive Damages- On rare occasion you may be awarded punitive damages if the accident was a result of malicious intent
What If I Am Partially Responsible For The Accident?
Under New Jersey law, your compensation may be affected if you are partially responsible for the accident. If you are under 50 percent responsible for the event, you can still make a claim. However, your compensation package will be reduced by the percentage you were deemed at fault.
Can Anyone Else Be Held Responsible For The Accident?
New Jersey law allows people to seek damages against a social host who served alcohol knowingly to a person who was already intoxicated and then allowed them to leave their premises and drive. There are criteria that must be met for this type of lawsuit. Your attorney will seek damages under the Dram Law if it applies to your case.
What Happens When The Police Report Is Wrong?
Sadly, many police accident reports contain inaccurate information. Since the police did not see the accident occur, all of their information is based on the information they gather. This information may not be accurate. If you believe that your police report is inaccurate, speak with your attorney. Your attorney can take the necessary steps to correct this information.
What Is The Leading Cause Of Motorcycle Accidents?
The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is the driver of the passenger vehicle, not seeing the motorcycle. The most common place for these accidents to occur is when the passenger vehicle is making a left-hand turn. Motorcycles are encouraged to use their headlights during the day and night to make themselves more visible.
Can Previous Accident Claims Affect My Accident Compensation?
Technically, any past accidents you have been involved in should not have any impact on your current case. However, do not be surprised if the insurance adjuster uses this information as an advantage.
How Long Do I Have To File A Claim And Lawsuit?
It is easy to assume that filing an insurance claim for the accident will take place immediately. You are required by law t report all accidents to the insurer within a certain period of time after the event. If you are in need of medical care, you will make a claim immediately.
This does not mean that you will settle your case immediately.
If you need to file a lawsuit to recover your losses, you have two years from the date of the accident.
If your attorney feels that they must file a lawsuit to make a recovery, they will file before the two year period has ended.

Dear Heloise: To lend fragrance when vacuuming, dampen several cotton balls with your favorite cologne or perfume and place inside of the vacuum bag and vacuum as usual. - Bev Jackson, New Orleans, La.
Dear Heloise: The solution to a hot and cold couple: Split the sheets!
My husband and I have been married 40 years and every year it seemed he got more coldblooded and I got more warmblooded.
A few years back, I remedied the situation and split two sets of sheets, one cotton percale and one cotton flannel, and sewed them together. Now, when the weather turns cool, the bed gets the half-and-half! Now we are both comfortable. - Ellen E. Ehler, Holyrood, Kan.
Dear Heloise: The easy way and also the safest way to pick up broken glass is to wet a wad of cotton and wipe up the glass. It works every time. My mother found this way to do it safely. - Mayme R. Washer, San Antonio, Texas
Dear Heloise: I had a habit of licking my fingers when turning pages in the newspaper. I realized how unsanitary it is, so I decided to place a damp washcloth in a dish and place my fingers in the damp washcloth instead of my mouth to turn the pages.
Now I don't get the newspaper ink in my mouth anymore. You would be surprised after reading the newspaper all the ink print that went into my mouth is now on the washcloth. - Betty Guarriello, Jackson, N.J.

Premier-elect’s honeymoon is over before it begins
As premier-elect Christy Clark leafs through stacks of government briefing binders this week, she is almost certainly having profanity-spiced moments as she begins to fully appreciate the hand she has been dealt by Gordon Campbell.I suspect the binders are telling Clark that her agenda for change must begin with an agenda of reconstruction. She is discovering that the retiring premier has left, in his disruptive wake, a government in cardiac arrest.Clark is also discovering — after more than 200 idle days during which the Legislature has been vacant and no legislation has been passed into law — that the public’s business has been largely entrusted to faceless bureaucrats who have a vested interest in the status quo.Clark’s new reality reminds me of the general paralysis that afflicts government in the run up to a provincial election. For months ahead of the vote, and for many weeks following, our politicians put governance on the back burner and focus exclusively on protecting their political backsides.In this environment, the evolution of policy across a wide spectrum of public interests is rendered comatose. Initiatives requiring statute amendments whither in the back rooms and miss the window of opportunity for legislation drafting. Programs that have a spending component are not made ready for processing during the pressurized period of budget drafting.A similar state of affairs was evident in Victoria well before the day last fall when Campbell announced his very long goodbye. And, it has worsened since.The poli-wags and pundits, who believe the empress has no clothes, will likely portray this vacuum of governmental stewardship as a clean slate upon which Clark can attempt her magic.Not quite. There’s more to the Campbell administrative legacy than a black hole that can be paved over with campaign promises and good intentions. There’s an added bonus . . . inter-ministry upheaval exacerbated by Campbell’s attempt to save his bacon in the eleventh hour with a woefully convoluted and completely unnecessary cabinet shuffle that threw several key ministries into an organizational tail spin. The cost of this needless shuffle has been astronomical and the subsequent administrative Gordian Knot will take many more millions of precious budget dollars to unravel.There is also the matter of the preliminary 2011/12 Provincial Budget introduced last month. It was positioned as a stop gap budget that meets “statutory requirements while providing maximum flexibility for future decisions by the new executive council (Clark and her cabinet).” It allowed the government to introduce an interim supply bill to finance its activities for the first three months of 2011/12.However, a cornerstone of the budget, the Three-Year Fiscal Plan, was a template for future debt that the document’s bureaucrat authors anticipated would endure regardless of who is at the political helm. The plan predicts we will grow our accumulated debt from $47.7 billion in 2010 to a staggering $60.3 billion in 2013. Unchanged, this projection threatens to undermine the credibility of Clark’s promise to quickly transition away from annual budget deficits. Many budget analysts agree that the promise of a budget surplus in any given year is a fiscal sham when the province’s accumulated debt grows by more than $1 billion in the same year.To curb the accumulated debt requires some particularly hard decisions about pending capital projects. And, those decisions become politically onerous the closer one gets to a general election.Further, Clark has been saddled with the daunting job of reigning in two rogue government appendages — BC Hydro and BC Ferries. This pair has been having a field day in the current political vacuum with threats of huge rate increases.Clark knows that her “families” agenda will quickly stall if she allows these corporations to raid family pocketbooks with rate increases in the range of 50 per cent. Of the two, BC Hydro is her most pressing challenge. Besides rate hikes, the corporation is pressing ahead with the Site C Dam, even though the budget for the Peace River mega-project is escalating from the original $6 billion to closer to $12 billion.Clark never needed to be warned that her second political honeymoon would be short lived. But, I’m not sure she realized that her new marriage would be this challenging this quickly.

Because every writer needs a hero, a helpmate, and a lover…
Woolf’s biographer Victoria Glendinning describes him thus: ‘… a man of extremes and contradictions: ferocious and tender, violent and self-restrained, opinionated and non-judgmental. Belief in reason pulled him one way, irrational passion another. He was disconcerting, inner-directed, attractive, always an outsider. The constants in his character were honesty, persistence, and energy. He played all games, competitively. He was a dedicated gardener. He had an affinity with animals. Non-stop work – at his writing, at his political activities, in the garden – came naturally to him.
‘He liked women, and women liked him. With his wife [Virginia Stephen], he founded the Hogarth Press. … He knew how to love, and she was the love of his life.’
Leonard was an incredible man in his own right, and he was an incredible husband to the forever-remarkable Virginia Woolf. Every writer needs a muse-hero-foundation-oak like this man! Oh, and if ever I write a character as fascinating as the person Glendinning describes above, I shall die happy.

In the 1880s, the firm had commissions for the furnishing and fitting of globe lighting and stoves for large institutions such as workhouses and infirmaries, as well as the refreshment rooms at Middlesbrough railway station.
Benham & Sons Ltd. expanded further in the early part of the 20th century with the acquisition of several premises in Wandsworth, London. During the Second World War, the company manufactured a variety of gun and munition parts.
Benham & Sons Ltd. was managed by five successive generations of the Benham family until it joined the Glover & Main Group in 1960. Glover & Main became part of Thorn EMI in 1965. In 1979, Benhams merged with James Scott & Co. Ltd. of Oldham. As Scott Benham Ltd., the company was taken over by the Swedish company, Electrolux in 1987.

Male film reviewers write about fewer female-directed movies than women reviewers
With more online movie sites than ever, it might seem like women have more chances to get into film criticism. But a study released Friday by San Diego State professor Martha Lauzen finds that among top critics, fewer films were reviewed by women in spring 2013 than in fall 2007.
The study uses Rotten Tomatoes’ Top Critics category for purposes of comparison, which filters out the legions of bloggers and lesser-known websites where critics might not have established reputations. More than 2,000 reviews from 145 writers were tracked over a two-month period this year. Rotten Tomatoes says its Top Critics “must be published at a print publication in the top 10% of circulation, employed as a film critic at a national broadcast outlet for no less than five years, or employed as a film critic for an editorial-based website with over 1.5 million monthly unique visitors for a minimum of three years.”
Gender can play a role in film criticism, Lauzen notes, mentioning the flap over Rex Reed’s comments about Melissa McCarthy’s weight in his review of “The Identity Thief” as well as the viral letter from a male editor at the Niagara Falls Reporter who ordered a critic not to review films with strong female characters. “While such anecdotal stories are attention getting, they reveal little about the relationship between gender, film critics, and movie reviews,” wrote Lauzen, who is executive director of the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film. She concluded that “Popular film criticism remains a predominantly male activity.”
Fewer femme critics: While the perception is that the Internet has made film criticism more democratic, in reality film critics appear to have become less, not more gender diverse over the last six years. Top male critics wrote 82% and top female critics 18% of the film reviews on Rotten Tomatoes in spring 2013, while in fall 2007, men wrote 70% and women 30% of reviews for the top 100 U.S. daily newspapers.
Radio and newspapers had the highest percentage of female critics while entertainment and trade outlets had the lowest: Males accounted for 91% of critics writing for movie/entertainment magazines/websites such as Entertainment Weekly, 90% of those writing for trade publication websites such as Variety, the Hollywood Reporter and The Wrap, 80% of critics writing for general interest magazines and sites such as Time and Salon, 72% of those writing for newspaper websites, and 70% of critics writing for radio outlets/sites such as NPR.
Female critics focus on female helmers/writers: The study also found that female critics do tend to gravitate towards writing reviews of films directed and written by women, while male critics are more drawn to films with male directors and writers. 36% of the reviews written by women were of films directed or written by women, while just 21% of reviews written by men were for films directed or written by women.
All’s fair? However, the report didn’t find that females gave female-directed films higher ratings, although they did write longer reviews of male-directed films. Male reviewers, too, were fairly objective about rating films whether helmers were male or female, and wrote reviews of about the same length for both sexes.
Of course, there are fewer outlets for paying critics of both sexes, while younger filmgoers are relying less on critics while they get movie opinions more from their friends and social networks. But with many bizzers saying that Hollywood should make more films for older auds and females, it could still be useful to look at the influence of female critics. | <urn:uuid:2938980f-fe6c-405b-98ac-468f437eeff1> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://variety.com/2013/film/news/female-movie-critics-influence-shrinking-1200487324/comment-page-2/ | 2014-12-18T15:23:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802767247.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075247-00014-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976871 | 756 |

News: Family integrated with 17th CSSB’s 'Safety Day'
Story by Staff Sgt. Jason Epperson
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska - When soldier’s think of "Safety Day," most soldiers think of a day full of briefings and the "round robin" of dreaded PowerPoint slides.
The 17th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion found a way to make required training more enjoyable with a twist. They provided outdoor hands-on-training and invited soldier’s family members at the Skeet/Trap and Archery Range, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Oct. 14.
Trap and skeet shooting, archery, hunting safety, all terrain vehicle safety, cold weather training and a simulated drunk driving obstacle course were some of the classes offered to soldiers and family members to participate.
Some of the soldiers experienced the simulated drunk driving obstacle course first hand. Pfc. Alva L. Lee, a chemical operations specialist with the 95th Chemical Company, took advantage of the readily available training.
“Today we’re out here for winter safety,” Lee, a native of Biloxi, Miss., said. “We have Morale, Welfare and Recreation out here showing us how to ride snowmobiles and what to wear. We’re doing ATV and weapons safety and have Army Substance Abuse Program out here showing us how it feels to drive while you’re intoxicated. They have the bicycles and they have goggles that make you feel like you feel like you’re intoxicated. You go through the cones and if you hit the cone, it just shows you what can happen when you’re intoxicated and driving a vehicle.”
Spc. Thomas Stanley, a Chemical Equipment Repairer with 95th Chemical Company, experienced the obstacle course first hand as he hit a few cones himself.
“The goggles are supposed to impair your vision, and they did that,” Stanley laughed. “I really couldn’t see what I was doing on the cycle or anything. I just kind of went for it.”
Stanley said the training reinforced what he knew all along.
“Have a plan if you go out. Don’t be that person,” Stanley, a native from Sierra Vista, Ariz., said.
Capt. Anthony E. Stong, the battalion S-2 and safety officer, explains the importance of getting out of the classroom and into a hands-on environment.
“What we’re doing is bring out the entire battalion out to get everybody educated on different things for winter safety in Alaska in general without doing it ‘Death by Power-Point’,” said Stong.
The battalion chaplain is set up to give hunting and firearm safety classes, my non-commissioned officer-in-charge, Staff Sgt. Sweeny is giving instructional classes on winter safety, Stong, a Reno, Nev., native, said.
“We’re making sure we get that information out to the families and not just the soldiers.” Stong said. “We have the ASAP teams that came out and brought their pedal carts, so they could put on their drunk goggles so that they can see what it’s like to drive impaired so people are better aware of how much that actually affects you so it prevents drinking and driving. We have the family resiliency teams out here; they are out here talking to the soldiers on a one to one basis, to make sure that they know what that program is. The military and family life consultant is also out here, just to sell his services and make sure they understand what that is and that is a free service to the soldiers. We have our skeet range which has given us a pretty good deal, so the soldiers can get out there. Once they learned how to safely use a shotgun, they can actually participate and shoot trap and skeet at a fairly low cost. We also have the archery range where folks can come out and practice their archery skills.”
“The benefits are that the soldiers are going to be out here and having fun,” Stong said. “While you’re having fun and doing something different it retains better. You sit there and give a safety briefing every week. ‘This is why you don’t drink and drive’, but you get somebody out here and put them on a little cart they have to peddle around on a little obstacle course, that sticks in their head how hard that was so when they actually do drink they think ‘maybe that’s not what I want to do, I couldn’t peddle a cart around the parking lot.'”
“They get to come out here and actually pick up hunting tools and see the safety aspects of it. It’s not just an orange vest and earplugs. Most importantly, just having family out here with soldiers the families retain this as well.”
“I don’t know if this training is just Alaskan unique, although Alaska does have a lot of unique missions that we need to train for that you wouldn’t have to do in say, Fort Bragg or Hawaii. It’s about training soldiers the right way and we train as we fight and this has given us that opportunity.”
Lt. Col. Andrew Mergens, the 17th CSSB commander, wanted the family to be part of the training as well.
“We also did some safety training on cold weather,” Mergens said. “We wanted to focus it towards off duty time in particularly with families which are one of the big reasons. Schools out today, so the kids could come and we encourage the families to come down and give them a chance to come down and get exposed to the cold weather and how to prepare for an Alaskan winter.”
“I think everyone’s having a good time,” Mergens said. “I think it’s out of the norm of what we’re usually used to on the safety day focus and again it get’s everyone outside and I think they had a good time.”
The Family Readiness Group provided snacks and drinks inside a warm-up tent and there was hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. | <urn:uuid:3640f2ad-8ba5-4269-8a31-7aa67b658177> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | https://www.dvidshub.net/news/78678/family-integrated-with-17th-cssbs-safety-day | 2016-02-12T14:39:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701164268.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193924-00114-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967584 | 1,350 |

The swanky pet hotel market is booming. People can’t seem to get enough extras when it comes to their dogs. Nothing is too good for your beloved furry friend, obviously, but some of the amenities at these expensive pooch palaces might be pushing it a bit.
Here are six of the world’s most extravagant canine establishments:
A stone’s throw from the L.A. Four Seasons hotel, the Barkley offers all the amenities of its renowned neighbor — and more. Can the Four Seasons offer individual fur-dying, stenciling, or a bejeweled “pawdicure”?
The luxury suites at the Barkley feature individual climate control, flat-screen televisions, webcam access, custom furniture, and piped music. There are swimming lessons for residents with personal swim instructors, and fully trained animal masseurs. You can even order a steak from the Four Seasons menu.
With dog lodges designed by noted architects and a main building created in the Bauhaus style, the Canis places the emphasis on ambience, wanting to create a unique, restful, organic stay for your pooch.
Expertly trained dog-sitters are on hand to see to your hound’s every whim. They not only provide the usual grooming and exercise regimes, but also offer physiotherapy and wellness treatments, which involve an initial 90-minute therapy session followed by orthopedic and neurological analysis.
If you’re a little jittery about leaving your beloved canine pal in the care of strangers, the Pet’s Dream Park might be perfect for you. They have an extensive series of webcams set up so you can track your hound’s progress no matter where they are or what they are up to. You can even get the feed on your cell phone.
Each furry little guest gets her own room with AC, plus there’s an indoor sports field and a swimming pool.
Your mutt will have to be dragged kicking and howling from Chateau Poochie after experiencing its suites with designer king-size sleigh beds, flat-screen televisions, a personal overnight attendant, and an on-site gourmet chef. On-site gourmet chef? I once had a motel room with a hot plate in it, but that’s about as close as I got.
Your mutt can take it easy with a trip to the Zen Wellness Centre, enjoy movie nights, and take advantage of a spa featuring blueberry facials.
This swanky logement du chien is on the outskirts of Paris, so you could expect the emphasis to be on food. At the Actuel, dogs are treated to fine cuisine, and then they can work it all off with a series of bespoke exercise activities including hiking, biking, and jogging.
The Parisian owners also want to make sure there’s a pragmatic French side to their endeavor; they have steered clear of the more extreme fur dyeing and nail-jeweling elements of some of the more notable pet hotels.
If you have a doggie diva who needs to be appeased, then the old Hollywood style and luxurious surroundings of the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel might be ideal for you and your pup to enjoy the Canine Connoisseur Program.
In one of the famed bungalows that have housed stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich, your own personal four-legged starlet will be treated to a freshly-baked doggie bone, with his name iced onto it, plus Beverly Hills Hotel-branded bed, bowl, and even a pink tennis ball.
And of course, while you’re there, it would be rude of you not to sample the spa, the famous Polo Lounge bar, and one of the many pools.
Your mutt will have to be dragged kicking and howling from this swanky New York City oasis of luxury after experiencing the suites with designer Kuranda dog beds, flatscreen TVs, three private 6,000-square-feet dog parks, a luxury boutique, and chauffeur service that will collect your pooch in a Ferrari, Bentley, or Rolls-Royce.
As well as a spa featuring massage, aromatherapy, detoxifying thermal wraps and calming music, you can also use the custom doggie treadmills and even a personal trainer.

Colby Sledge is the District 17 councilman and a former reporter on the Nashville Metro Council. There is a smorgasbord of procedural features in the Music City that you won’t find in most American city councils–primarily because of the size. Plus, we talk about the many ways in which Nashville’s council exercises politeness.
Q: Most city councils have seven members, nine members–but Nashville has 40 council members. And you all sit at individual desks on the chamber floor. The Tennessee state senate has 33 people, so you have more members than half of your state’s legislature! What are the advantage and disadvantage of having that many council members?
A: Yeah, it’s always a fun thing to throw out whenever we’re at conferences or speaking with lawmakers in other cities, to get “that look” when we tell them we have 40 members. It is a product of when the city and county merged more than 50 years ago. Everybody got to keep their jobs!
A: We have the third-largest municipal council in the country behind New York and Chicago. I think the advantage is definitely constituent service. You are expected, as a council member, to know pretty much everyone in your district. Disadvantage is, as you imagine, it can get unwieldy sometimes.
Q: You have a lot of public hearings. You don’t take public comment in the meetings, but you have hearings where people raise their hands in the gallery if they are in favor of or opposed to a bill. I haven’t seen this hand-raising thing before. What are you looking for, exactly?
A: We’re primarily looking for folks who are opposed. Because there are so many zoning bills that we handle, we’re trying to get a sense if there is still dissent within the community. It encourages council members to have meetings before it comes to public hearing. The worst-case scenario is you have a lot of people who are opposed; it kind of reflects poorly on the council member because he or she may have not done all the prep work.
Q: I have heard of the concept of “councilmanic courtesy” in Nashville. Essentially, it’s “I’ve got something in my district that I’d like approved. Please do it for me and I’ll vote for the next thing YOU need in your district.” How many times since you’ve been on council have you received councilmanic courtesy?
A: That’s a good question. I think it’s a product of our size. The vast majority of zoning bills–I can’t even think of one that I didn’t [receive courtesy]. If I made a compelling case for a rezoning, most of the time, council members were for it. There’s no written rule that says we’re supposed to be offering this. But when you have a legislative body that’s this large dealing with land-use issues, it tends to be the unwritten rule. I try to think about how it’s going to affect my constituents. If there’s little to no effect, I feel comfortable supporting it.
Q: There is no such thing as councilwomanic courtesy because you don’t have councilwomen in Nashville. You have “council ladies.” What kind of “Gone With the Wind” tradition is that?!
A: [Laughs] I will say that my predecessor in District 17 was a woman and I probably almost always called her “council lady.” It’s really up to each member’s preference.

When One's body doesn’t have ample glucose for Vitality, it burns fats as a substitute — a metabolic point out generally known as ketosis. The ketogenic diet regime is geared toward trying to keep One's body inside a point out of ketosis, so One's body burns its personal Fats stores for Strength.
As discussed previously, MCT’s allow production of ketones which if enhance, reduce the levels of blood sugar. This provides a trickledown outcome for the reason that as the blood degrees are taken care of the inflammation in the body lessens and brain overall health increases.
Supplementing with exogenous ketones and MCT oil surely raise the amounts of circulating ketones and will blunt hunger somewhat, but there are actually no human experiments to this influence nevertheless.
It's actually not like a sugar rush detail where you feel so Energetic now and instantly plummet to remaining pretty much lifeless. The Electrical power Improve find out here from Perfect Keto is sweet and regular and it held me likely during the day.
The Perfect Keto line of items claims to make protecting or returning to, a state of ketosis effortless and painless. The jury is still out on no matter whether using exogenous ketones really aids fat reduction as scientific studies on human subjects are incredibly limited.
Technically, BHB is the very first ketone body released during a keto diet plan. Having said that, when Your my blog entire body still has carbs to burn up, it requires a while for BHB to generally be manufactured and that's why we get those dizzy spells or perhaps the keto-flu.
The solution is suitable for people who are adhering to the Ketogenic eating plan or for those who want to see an In general health and fitness advancement.
When combined with a keto diet plan strategy, Perfect Keto may perhaps assist you reduce pounds by increasing the amount of body fat you melt away as Electrical power. | <urn:uuid:7060b879-0a3d-41be-9080-afdf8541357c> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://travisasdoj.timeblog.net/5745799/a-simple-key-for-perfect-keto-review-unveiled | 2018-10-17T23:21:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511314.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181017220358-20181018001858-00443.warc.gz | en | 0.952045 | 639 |

Stoned Immaculate: Uschi Obermaier
In the late sixties, Uschi Obermaier was one of the sexiest women alive. She rarely smiled; instead, she would pose, mouth agape, so we could savor those luscious lips and big, fierce teeth. Uschi Obermaier is probably the prettiest Stones Goddess outside Anita and Marianne (they were the zenith blend of classy, sassy, and gorgeous), and hardly anyone knows about her. Born in Munich, Germany on September 24, 1946, Uschi's career began when the magazine twen featured her on the front cover. Her dark, cascading locks, deep tanned skin, and incredible mouth--not to mention bod--led her to many modeling jobs, although she was petite and quite thin. Uschi was the first female model to expose frontal nudity on the cover of a magazine, and she was actually quite revolutionary for so special and lesser-known a celebrity.
Uschi is credited not only as "the most famous German groupie", but also for advocating the sexual revolution with then-boyfriend Rainer Langhan. I love photos of the two of them together because she is so young, fresh and utterly gorgeous, and he's this grisly, artsy-looking fellow. Anyway, the pair moved into the Kommune 1 in Munich and many German commentators have said that Uschi and Rainer directly influenced the likes of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who advocated liberal views of love and nudity in the early '70s. There were quite a few photos taken of Uschi topless and smoking marijuana during this time, and they were published in magazines. It makes for quite a striking image actually; this tiny, gorgeous creature with to-die-for lips and a tassle of voluminous hair--possessing an innocence that at times is almost childlike--her hands holding a fat joint.
I first heard of Uschi about three years ago when I read Victor Bockris' biography on Keith Richards. They dated in the 1970s, (she went on tour with the Stones in '75) and she is said to have also had affairs with Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix. Today she lives in Topanga Canyon and designs jewelry.
Uschi, I salute you! | <urn:uuid:5bf92257-d56b-483c-a4e7-5588d895ba79> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://dietcokeandsympathy.blogspot.com/2009/04/stoned-immaculate-uschi-obermaier.html | 2015-04-19T01:04:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246636650.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045716-00178-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97523 | 489 |

I just happened to be browsing ikea, as I often do when thinking of ways to best utilize our small space. Chris and I live in a home that’s just under 1000 square feet (plus a basement) with our three kids, two dogs, and copious amounts of fish, so I’m constantly playing furniture Tetris and the like. I was loving a lot of things, but of course I can’t have everything (especially not in our house) so I figured I’d make a post out of it! The pictures are links to the items at the Canadian store, I’m sure you can transfer over easily, and I get no compensation or fistbumps from Ikea for this post but if they would like to give me either, I’ll be right there.
This is something we actually do have already. I just LOVE this rug, and whenever I post a picture that was taken in my girls’ room onto Instagram I get one or two comments about it. Ikea! And at least in Canada, it costs only $60. Super cute. I have had to carpet clean mine already, but Jackson drooled chalk all over it on day 2 so yeah. I think it’s adorable in a little girls’ room, and it would be great in a sewing/craft room or even perfect if you wanted to go for a Lalaloopsy theme! My girls love to play with the miniatures, but they’re not into them enough for me to bother with that.
HOW CUTE IS THIS BED? I know, really it’s just a plain white bed but THAT CANOPY THOUGH! This is a new item and if we get around to separating the girls again any time soon (there is talk about making Nicole a bedroom downstairs) you can bet your butt this will be Olivia’s bed. I even showed Chris the bed we don’t need for the room we don’t have and he agrees, perfect for her.
Jackson has this little toddle truck and he adores it. In fact, he dragged the pieces around pathetically while looking tragic when Olivia smashed it to smithereens. This one needs to be glued when you put it together if you have older kids around, but even if you do so, it really isn’t meant for bigger kids to sit in and use it as a cart. Chris is hoping to reassemble it for our broken-hearted boy… for the $30, if he can’t I may just grab another next time I’m instore and be fiercer on the no-touching-if-your-name-isn’t-Jackson rule. The look on the above baby’s face? Pretty darn accurate.
Considering the toddle truck situation, you may be surprised to learn that this little $25 table set withstands my kids just great. It is way sturdier than I expected it to be. Jackson drags those little chairs all over the house, often using them to climb onto the big chairs, so he can climb onto the table, so he can climb into his highchair and yell for food. My kids do crafts at it, eat at it when we have a full house, and hover at it with Little Peoples sets or building blocks. If I had the room for it I’d probably have more than one of these sets around the house, they’re so affordable yet sturdy. They aren’t beautiful, but they’re basic and they match the easel, which we also have.
How adorable are these children’s hats?! How sweet! There were little fairy wings too, but I’ve seen those everywhere. These are too cute and definitely cheaper than what I could make at home, I think if my local Ikea has them they might sneak into the cart next time I’m there.
Okay, so this wound up being mostly children’s things. I also love their kitchen stuff and organization solutions, but they don’t have half the ‘aw cute!’ factor of these items! | <urn:uuid:e6b391b3-71bf-4823-80bf-e578b872765e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://wildlyoutnumbered.com/2013/11/09/friday-favs-ikea-edition/ | 2017-11-22T23:48:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806708.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122233044-20171123013044-00448.warc.gz | en | 0.95948 | 868 |
Social Capital and Natural Disaster: Local Responses to 2015 Earthquake in Kathmandu
November 2016 (VOL. 34, NO. 3)
Catastrophic natural disasters often require rapid community mobilization to meet local needs. . This study uses social capital to explore how indigenous Newar communities in Kathmandu responded to the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Data from thirty-three semi-structured interviews with local Newar inhabitants, and secondary sources, form the basis of analysis. Newari prosocial behaviors learned through living in communal neighborhoods, experiences of working for community welfare through cultural Guthi systems, spiritual strength drawn from ancestors and their proud heritage, and the community’s high level of equanimity facilitated disaster responses in a positive way. The study provides insights on how social capital among ethnic groups like the Newar influence community responses to natural disasters. | <urn:uuid:182e5d51-e246-4b78-8e5b-5ac02dc80247> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.ijmed.org/articles/712/ | 2018-04-26T21:00:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948549.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180426203132-20180426223132-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.906993 | 170 |
We all spend time looking at our personal debt.
It’s all part of keeping your credit scores up and your ability to borrow for a mortgage, car note or even a college education. If your credit card spending gets out of hand you take yourself to a credit counselor. I recommend GreenPath Debt Solutions for just such a purpose.
The city of Detroit needs to pay GreenPath a visit, too. It’s just that it can’t.
Instead it has to face the state treasurer’s office for its debt solutions. There is nothing flippant about this notion here either.
The governor’s financial review team told Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council it is hooked on using its credit card to an unsustainable level.
In English, that means the city is broker than broke!
Here is some perspective
We see the record Mega Millions Jackpot today is a whopping $500 million. There are few in the states where they sell these tickets who aren’t at least asking themselves what they would buy with that kind of money. It’s a flight of fancy to imagine how that kind of money could change your life.
But if Bing asked one of his staffers to buy him a ticket on his behalf for the city and lightning struck; that cash infusion would not much change Detroit’s fortunes. That’s not me talking either. It’s the review team’s assessment. It says if the mayor won half a billion dollars it would not be enough to cover one year’s pension liabilities. He would fall short by $100 million. That $500 million would not be enough to cover the debt the city rang up in its annual budgets over the past five years. That number is $600 million, too.
Bing spent much of the Christmas holiday season attempting to negotiate concessionary contracts from the city’s four labor unions. He succeeded in getting unprecedented givebacks totaling roughly $216 million over two years. But there is a problem, the mayor projected he needed $360 million over two years… that’s only 60 percent of what he needed.
In layman’s terms, that’s four slices short of a 10-piece pizza!
The review team says this is the biggest problem Bing and council have, they project revenues, know what the city needs to take in, try and meet them and come up short at every turn.
Finally, the easiest way to see just how addicted the city is to its credit card habit; the review team says the city’s debt load in total is $17 billion including bond debt. That is a staggering number!
To put that into perspective, the review team did what’s known in the business world as a debt to equity ratio.
How do the city’s assets compare to its debt? The answer is 32 to one. That is seemingly impossible.
Yet, think of it this way, if you have one egg and call that the city’s assets; you can use the rest of a three dozen crate of eggs to represent the city’s debt.
Now you have an idea why the city is where it is.
The governor wants the problem solved now and why even a credit counselor can’t solve this problem. | <urn:uuid:faf4efcd-e4f8-45be-a44c-b71e4c651490> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.clickondetroit.com/money/4yourmoney/Detroit-In-need-of-a-credit-counselor/-/1719092/9741900/-/13wq3mu/-/index.html | 2014-03-11T23:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011355201/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305092235-00027-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964751 | 686 |

My friend “Jana” sent her most promising manuscript to a journal that we’ll call The Ivy League Business Review. She received immediate confirmation that it was received, although the e-mail did not indicate whether or when it would be sent out for peer review.
So she waited. And waited some more. After six months of waiting, Jana politely asked about the manuscript’s status. She didn’t hear back. Two months later, she e-mailed again but with a more urgent tone. This time she received a reply from the editor. The essence was, “Thank you for your submission. Although the paper seems promising, it does not adequately fit the scope of The Ivy League Business Review. We therefore did not send it out for peer review. Best wishes.”
Jana will be coming up for tenure in two years, and having her paper pointlessly stalled for eight months was a real setback. When she told me about this, it certainly made an impression. I thought, “Boy, I’m glad I know this because I’m certainly never going to send a paper to that journal.” But in point of fact, I was highly unlikely to ever send anything to that journal anyway, because my research doesn’t have anything to do with business. In fact, almost none of our colleagues (we’re both in psychology departments) would be likely to consider submitting anything there. So this potentially invaluable nugget of information would normally go no further.
How many of you can relate similar horror stories of patently unprofessional, or at least wildly inconsiderate, editing or reviewing? I’d guess most of us can, and many of the stories are probably worse. And I’d guess that we often have Jana’s problem of not being able to do much with our tale besides recounting it to a sympathetic listener, assuming we can find one.
Wouldn’t it be better if we could publicly share such experiences with all those who might benefit? That would promote accountability by journals and allow authors to avoid frustrating, career-damaging situations.
I suggest the development of a crowdsourced, “author reviewed” journal-evaluation Web site. The idea is that authors from various disciplines would share their experiences with particular journals, both negative and positive. There would be quantitative information such as time until receiving notice of being reviewed, time until receiving first review, total time from initial submission until final publication, and, of course, acceptance or rejection. And there would also be opportunities for rating or commenting on key issues, like the fairness and constructiveness of editors and reviewers and the efficiency of the journal’s production staff.
As reviews accumulated, it would be possible to make better decisions about where we would and would not submit our work. Authors would be able, if they chose, to eliminate journals with exceptionally high or low acceptance rates. They could forgo journals with slow turnarounds or predominantly negative editor or reviewer ratings. Ideally, this Web site would allow journal searches by many other criteria too, including subject area(s), impact factor, publication fees, open-access options, database indexing, publisher, review process (e.g., blind or not), etc. This platform would also allow our colleagues, including librarians and administrators, to better evaluate where we are publishing and what journals we most need access to.
Is such a site needed? After all, many journals advertise their impact factors, some even disclose their acceptance rates or speed of publication, and many of us have a decent feel already for the key journals in our field.
But I believe there is a substantial need because our information is incomplete and often vague: “Does that journal consider nonexperimental studies? I think I heard someone at a conference say that they no longer do.” We also don’t know about the information’s veracity: “Does Journal X really have an acceptance rate of 15 percent? How did they calculate that?”
Think of it this way. If you are trying to decide where to go for the best tacos in town, you have Urbanspoon and TripAdvisor to provide hundreds of ratings, many with rich descriptions. But if you want to find the best journal for your manuscript, you may have virtually no information. And, although I like tacos as much as anyone, I hope we agree the journal decision is far more important.
When I share this idea, one question people often ask is, “Won’t this site only attract reviews from those who have had miserable experiences?” I don’t think so, especially if reviewers have some kind of stable identity, even an anonymous one. Just as we discount claims about the “worst tacos in the world” if we see that BeanoBoy has slammed every restaurant in town, we will discount journal reviews from consistently hostile reviewers. Also, mechanisms might be added to allow journals to dispute hostile reviews.
Another question I often hear is, “Won’t the journals and editors try to prevent this? It could make them look terrible.” Again, I don’t see a major problem, because most journals perform well and would look forward to seeing how they stack up and where they most need to improve. Of course, journals with big reputations that treat authors poorly … yes, they will suffer. And they should.
Will authors contribute this kind of information? After waiting eight months, I know Jana would gladly spend five minutes broadcasting her story. And I suspect that, although most of our experiences with journals are not as notable, they still affect us enough that we would want to share them. Often, we would simply provide several ratings and a brief comment, such as “Extremely constructive feedback from editor and reviewer #2!”
The final question is one I can’t answer yet: What organization or people would provide the resources to make this Web site a reality? I’ve been struggling for months to find someone. No luck so far. Is anyone interested?

N.C. State University economist Mike Walden takes stock of what’s happened in the job market over the past year, providing key numbers for both North Carolina and the country.
“Well, we’ve made progress — not a lot, but we’ve made progress. We’ve added about 1.5 million non-farm jobs in the nation over the last year. Here in North Carolina, we’ve added over 40,000 non-farm jobs. So, that’s a plus.
“I think why people perhaps are not real excited about that is that we lost during the recession 8 million jobs nationally and about 330,000 here in North Carolina. So we still have a long way to go.
“We’ve seen the unemployment rate drop both nationally by about 1.2 percentage points; here in North Carolina, about 1.6 percentage points.
“We’ve actually seen wages and salaries and the average pay for jobs created increase faster here in North Carolina than in the nation. North Carolina’s actually adding more higher-paying jobs at a faster clip than in the nation.
“Now on the downside, we’re also creating a lot of low-paying jobs. And we’ve also in North Carolina had a significant number of people simply drop out of the labor force. They want a job, but they’re not actively looking for work. That accounts in North Carolina right now for about 2 percent of the labor force, compared to only a half percent for the nation.”

GoPro’s cameras have become the go-to travel companion for those who want to document their adventurers. While capturing what’s in front gets watchers into the action, taking in a 360-degree view brings in a whole different meaning. Providing such capabilities is the GoPro Fusion, an action camera equipped with two ultra-wide angle lenses to capture 360-degree images.
Not unlike most 360 cameras
Most 360 cameras capture a spherical image, but the Fusion goes beyond that to allow users to capture both spherical and standard videos. In other words, it offers more capability compared to other models currently in the market.
One footage, two outputs
One of the most interesting features of the Fusion is OverCapture. This feature allows users take 1080p videos from existing 360 footage. Basically, users can capture spherical video then make changes later on. For example, the “pulled” footage can be focused on the movement of the subject around a particular area.
Built for different conditions
The GoPro Fusion is not an attractive camera. It looks like a gray square with two lenses bulging from both sides. However, it is “ugly” for a reason: to withstand different weather conditions. Unlike other GoPros, this one is on the bulky side, but it’s a feature users will have to get used to.
Compatible with GoPro accessories

The Fusion is built with the same standard mount seen on other GoPro models. As such, you don’t need to invest on new GoPro accessories. While you get a free selfie stick when you purchase this model, you might want to get an additional tripod that is taller (something that will be necessary when shooting for headset viewing).
Easy to use
GoPro cameras have a reputation for being easy to use. That trend continues with the Fusion where users can simply pick to capture “photo” or “video” from the menu. Once the appropriate settings are chosen, a simple push of the red button starts the recording.
Impressive image quality
The Fusion can capture 18MP images with 5760×2880 resolution. In addition, it can shoot in 30fps burst mode and RAW format.
Useful voice control commands
Yelling “That was sick!” after nailing a complex trick creates a digital marker that allows users to easily find that particular piece in the video.
Some limitations of the GoPro Fusion
Not every camera will hit it straight out of the park once released. This rings true for the Fusion which has a couple of hitches that may or may not be a big deal. For instance, users need to have two microSD cards – one for each camera – to use the unit. This is a step back knowing that there are cameras in the market today that can send captured footage from multiple cameras.
GoPro Fusion Price and Resolution
While the Fusion’s 5.2K resolution is a big deal, there are limitations to it. Users can shoot 5.2K video in 30p but need to bring the resolution down to 3K if they want to shoot 60p videos.
The GoPro Fusion is available for $699. | <urn:uuid:7cd517dd-5a8e-43a8-92f6-45f4d117d4e3> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://epfilms.tv/gopros-fusion-average-action-camera/ | 2018-12-13T08:53:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376824601.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181213080138-20181213101638-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.911854 | 664 |

RHONY S12 E19 (21st Century Sonja)
Updated: Sep 20, 2020
Well, the women had a very up and down trip to Mexico that still isn't over. Last week we had a bunch of tiffs, some makeups and stomach issues.
Ramona, had the balls to send a group text out targeting Dorindas anger issues... How does Dorinda respond, well, she sends a ton of negative articles about Ramona. Ramona could've talked to her nicely but nooooooo she has to be passive aggressive aggressive. My favorite part of this entire conversation (was not Dorinda telling Ramona to educate herself & that people say they are traumatized when they meet Ramona. Or how Ramona literally shat herself) it's Sonja in her interview saying she knew it was wrong but wanted to see what would happen.
Ramona legit doesn't get it, so much so that she just goes on the thank you and apology tour when someone is coming down on her. As the ladies are learning about each-other but Ramona is all angry about her wine, first its not new, then its too chilled like relax Ramona its not like it's a $500 bottle of wine. Ontop of that, Ramona left Leah out of the group text, for f^ck sake, she's on vacation with you why are you leaving her out of all this stuff? Ramona drops a bomb and pretends nothing happens just as quickly.
Dorinda does stand up for most people, and she does have a lot on her plate this season. I sorta don't blame her for some things but at the same time, she cant get wasted like that and bash everyone... its no bueno. I almost feel like she cant help it this season, especially knowing she's not returning to the show... The next morning it's honestly a shit show watching them all pack. I really don't know how their rooms get as messy as they do.
Back in NYC, we have a few things going on...
Leah is talking about her MTTM 15 year collection. She wants it to go over well understandably and quite a few collaborations are in the work.
Ramona has a therapist / matchmaker meeting. You know because she's sooo happy with herself and she wants to be sensual and with someone above the 1% to support her lifestyle. Now Ramona, I understand these may be things you are looking for but maybe you shouldn't be saying these things on national television...
Lu is at her Cabaret rehearsal... she calls Sonja as if she were supposed to be there but I have a sinking feeling that she never really told her about it.
Its time for Sonja's launch event. Ramona looks horrific and try too hard in her Sonja dress. Leah looks amazing in her Sonja dress, as do Sonja & Dorinda. I really dont get Ramona but anyway. The event seems to be going so well! Sonja gets up to do a little chat about her line and the partnership. Until Ramona so rudely is on her phone while everyone else is listening to her. Ramona doesn't even realize how obnoxious she's being. All of the other women are so excited for her so much so they say she's glowing with how happy she is! I hope she's successful!
Next time, its the happy birthday song by Lu that I've been waiting for all season... | <urn:uuid:418a9aad-10e5-492a-96e9-a534faedc88c> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.cubicletoceochic.com/post/s12-e19-21st-century-sonja | 2021-06-22T07:17:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488512243.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210622063335-20210622093335-00228.warc.gz | en | 0.98433 | 712 |

Companion Mommy, Child has problem with University costs; mama has a suggestion, incest tales. Concerning a year back, I was really struggling at University. Even though my program was spent for thanks to my mama, my living costs were just way too much. I really tried to find a task, however no one would use me a work, not even as a dishwasher. My mommy supplied to help however I declined, although it seems silly, I had some honesty, I wanted to survive without cash from my mama, that had actually already paid a whole lot for my education and learning. I actually intended to verify to myself and my mom that I was an adult now; I needed to be able to do this on my own.
University was about 100 miles from home and every weekend I would certainly see my mom, I did miss her, she resembled my buddy. She treated me as an equal as well as we were open to talk about anything. She was a successful attorney at a neighborhood law practice, though as a result of exclusive nature of her company she never did inform me much.
Anyhow it was Thanksgiving of my 2nd year, and so far I had actually simply handled to endure, but I was so close to either giving up or burglarizing a financial institution. I got back to a frosty welcome. It was quite chilly and the snow was boiling down fairly quick, I only just managed to get house. Once residence I was greeted warmly by both my mom and an extremely welcome fire. We did not have a family members, just both of us, so customarily it was simply the two people for thanksgiving, not that it troubled either of us, we appreciated each other's firm. But while we spoke about basic stuff, my mind maintained reviewing what mother had actually informed me. Mommy was still a lovely woman, even if she had just transformed 40, as well as her boobs look great, even when she first had them done, I told her she looked so sexy which any guy would intend to be with her. I claimed that if we were in a room together filled with guys, I wager all the men would select her, also without the breast implant she was quite. Mama thanked me for the praise however stated I was wrong which I was the really attractive one, she told me that a minimum of my large breasts were real, 36d in case you ask.
So after dinner and tidying up we went back to the living-room. My mind was still on what mama had suggested about me working as a companion, no doubt I would certainly enjoy it, and being paid like mother for something we both appreciated was something that interested me. I believe I was just surprised, prior to she informed me, I saw my mama as a recognized female in the workplace, now I saw her as a really sexual woman, I could really see that mother looked happy, and also that wouldn't wish to make love with such an attractive woman. It was just my whole image of mommy had changed, which wasn't a bad thing, however it was something I was having trouble not considering, particularly visualizing my mommy having sex with all those weird men.
So the next day mommy took me to meet Monica and get the tests I needed. After that mama took me purchasing an elegant attire for the evening. We would certainly meet the client at a dining establishment and afterwards eventually return to his hotel for a night of pure unadulterated sex.
The night ultimately showed up as well as I was actually worried, however thanks to my mama besides me, I prepared to go. We were both putting on evening clothes, mine was red while mother's was black, as well as we both wore rise bras to offer our boobs extra pizzazz, in addition to a thong. We took a cab and came to the dining establishment on time. Mommy provided the name of our appointment as well as we were resulted in a table where the customer was sat waiting.
Mama took charge and asked me to remain on his left while she took the right. Mother was so cool; she gave the customer all the common vanity improving lines, working him well. It provided me the opportunity to loosen up and also see her job. Quickly the customer provided my leg a press as well as counted on talk with me. I was rather relaxed by now, as well as a glass of red wine previously at home as well as one now loosened me up sufficient to activate the beauty.

Critics of the U.S. education system have set out to determine which evaluation method produces data that best captures the way students learn and the way they progress toward classroom goals. Since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, most educators "agree that we have gone too far in placing too much emphasis on test scores." Today, while educator and student evaluations are still high priorities, product-oriented evaluation techniques, such as standardized testing, are no longer believed to be the most reliable way to conduct a classroom study.
Educators suspect that product-oriented testing, which measures only the outcome of student performance, offers a limited view of what students learn. Rather than evaluating potential areas of improvement, such as problem-solving and creativity, product-oriented testing only displays whether a student can memorize information or work well under pressure. In addition to providing an insufficient perspective on student learning, tests and quizzes produce anxiety that can distract students from classroom activities. Because critical assessment techniques, or CATs, are worked into classroom activities and content, they eliminate the anxiety surrounding quizzes and tests, and they allow teachers to better monitor student morale and confidence.
With CATs, classroom activities are no longer limited to lecturing and exam preparation; they include group projects, applied skills, presentations, foreign language practice, and conceptual learning (such as math and art) in which the process is just as important as the outcome. As these activities take place, teachers can administer CATs and adjust lesson plans based on their results. These adjustments can monitor whether students are engaging with the course material, as well as whether they show signs of long-term retention.
While the methods teachers use to administer CATs vary, several tools have gained popularity among CATs proponents. The following are two major categories.
First, CATs can be used to empower students by encouraging them to share their perspectives. They allow students to see their critiques of the class as important considerations for teachers, rather than as discontentment or rebelliousness. This then gives students the opportunity to be critical and creative in areas where they were once passive recipients:
- Muddiest Point: Ask students to write a short note about which part of a lesson made the least sense to them and why.
- Student-Generated Test Questions: Assign groups, each addressing a topic in an upcoming test, and have students generate potential test questions. You can choose the best questions from each group, so that every student will feel familiar with at least part of the test for which they are preparing.
- Student Report Groups: Call upon volunteers to meet with you in a small group on a regular basis to provide feedback and ideas on how the class is proceeding.
- Exam Evaluations: Include a few questions at the end of a test asking students to rate how successfully the test evaluates their knowledge or skills.
- Suggestion Boxes: Leave a box in the front of the classroom into which students can drop notes expressing issues they might have with the class.
- Small Group Instructional Diagnoses: Invite trained facilitators to meet with students to discuss the effectiveness of the instructor’s chosen content and teaching techniques.
Second, CATs can promote comprehension and long-term retention. As an alternative to pop quizzes, these CATs allows instructors to monitor how well students are taking in information, and how competent they are with class concepts and skills:
- One-Minute Papers: Provide students with a short questionnaire at the end of class that asks students to describe their most and least favorite thing about today’s class.
- Chain Notes: Pass an envelope around and have each student submit a question about the class content. You can address these questions in later lesson plans.
- Journals: Require students to keep journals to record thoughts and feelings on the class. You can use them to evaluate student attitudes on class content, perceptions of the importance of what they are learning, and comprehension of course material.
- Student Report Groups: Use student representatives as a sample population of your class, and ask them questions about class content.
- Peer Reviews: Host a colleague as a guest observer. Their feedback can provide you with perspective on the extent to which students are connecting with your class goals.
As teachers, CATs can increase your awareness of your assignments’ level of success or difficulty. For example, let’s say there’s a big break coming up and you assign an entire book’s worth of reading. On the first day of class after break, you split students into groups, and ask each group to review a specific chapter of the assigned book. At the end of the class, you hand out One-Minute Papers, and get mixed reviews on the group assignment. Two ideas recur in the CATs results: “The assignment distracted me from the reason the book is important as a whole,” and “I got assigned my least favorite chapter.” You learn it might be valuable to provide an overview before asking students to focus on a specific chapter, or to ask students to volunteer for chapters instead of assigning them. This example CAT has taken up very little class time, and the results can be used for immediate improvement upon the next class meeting.
Another worthwhile CAT is creating student report groups. For example, if you are teaching a large lecture class without an assistant and are concerned about meeting all of the students’ needs. You invite students to volunteer as representatives that report to your office after class once a week. In these meetings, you learn that it is unrealistic to expect students to attend the nightly film viewings held on campus once a week, since many students are older and have families, or work at night. Classroom representatives valuably serve students who feel insecure about complaining to the instructor directly, and they serve you as the instructor, who may be unaware of your students’ distinct situations.
When planning class activities and assessments, it is important to remember that it is always possible to find more ideas and more ways to approach your students.
- The University of Waterloo’s Centre for Teaching Excellence has a website aimed at providing teachers and students with learning tips. Not only does it offer diverse teaching strategies, it also describes multimedia learning approaches, such as ePortfolios and Concept Maps.
- The website Education Dive has compiled a list of nineteen free lesson planning resources. It provides a range of websites, some of which specialize in specific disciplines, like Readworks, and some of which focus on a specific demographic, like SEN Teacher.
- A useful networking site for any needs a teacher might have is Teachers.net. Their message boards present a well-articulated discourse on a wide range of topics, and their lesson plans section has regular updates.
These websites, along with CATs, are bringing important reforms to student-teacher and teacher-teacher dynamics. No longer an occasion for teachers to simply feed students information, education now presents a unique opportunity for reciprocal learning and skill-building both in the classroom and on the internet. Online resources and student perspectives will provide teachers with the skills they need to succeed in the world of 21st Century education. | <urn:uuid:0c30475a-017c-4cfc-83ae-13dc55d66f3d> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2013/04/critical-assessment-techniques-for-teachers/ | 2016-12-09T03:50:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542680.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00193-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947466 | 1,460 |

Friends of this blogger know that I don’t watch old movies, with the exception of a few favorites like Psycho so this review of The Graduate will come as a surprise. I don’t know what possessed me to see this movie that came out pretty soon after I was born. Dustin Hoffman is a cool cat and Anne Bancroft is amazing. He is like a woman, he wants to know her, to understand her, and she wants for it to be about sex. It’s such a fabulous role reversal and I guess that’s one of the many reasons people loved the movie back in the day. That and the role reversal.
An older man wanting to be with a girl his daughter’s age is as familiar as a good cappuccino here in Los Angeles. It makes them feel like gods. They can control the woman, they can tell her what to do. There was a book that came out about this. It’s called The Jennifer Syndrome. Men who have to have a young woman to adore them, listen to them, hang on their words. It makes them feel big. I always think all that adoration would get boring after a while, but apparently not.
Gina’s husband says he wants to be a woman who is his equal. I love that in a human being. I think a person who wants to be challenged by the person he’s with is worth his or her salt and blood and heart. Ah, I remember when I met Mark, I knew I could stay and play. And I knew I would run my whole life to keep up. All good.
So this movie is a role reversal, the woman who wants a boy to play with. An interesting twist. I can’t quite imagine wanting a boy, but I like this movie. I like it because it’s about being lost in the world, and I think all the interesting people are questing and confused and wild anyway.
The part with Elaine Robinson is a bit odd, but I like odd compulsive behavior. Him chasing. Her holding back. Very complicated relationships. Good movie. Great music. | <urn:uuid:89910272-fbcf-4e53-a020-fa3bb467e0fe> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | https://kategale.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/the-graduate/ | 2016-08-27T13:33:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982911825.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200831-00091-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982627 | 454 |

“We’re in contact with aliens… It was the Germans who first got in touch… The aliens would mind meld and give them the technology… They’re bad aliens… Are you surprised the Nazis were influence by demons?… SS castles where they go, where the aliens want blood, so they’d kill like 20 kids and everything… it brings them in like sharks… They developed a more advanced form of nuclear fuel: heavy water.” ~ Alex Jones
The Nazis were sacrificing children to give blood to the aliens! And people still take this guy seriously?
A while back I wrote an article objecting to Alex Jones being banned on multiple social media platforms simultaneously in a coordinated attempt to silence him and destroy his income. I said he was a “nut” then, and I maintain my stance, which is that I’m not at all comfortable with companies taking it upon themselves to destroy someone’s career because they don’t agree with his views. Some people may not mind because they see Jones as not only a fake-news peddler extraordinaire, but because he’s a Trump supporter, and thus the enemy. However, what makes one think the pendulum won’t swing the other way, and the far right won’t start shutting down people who it doesn’t agree with? A coordinated attempt by multiple social media outlets to silence someone should be alarming no matter what side of the political spectrum one is on.
Related to this, it’s recently come out that Facebook has deliberately “de-boosted” posts that it doesn’t agree with politically. Let’s face it, if you aren’t paying to play, you are already de-boosted. I have a private Facebook page, and when I make a post, there’s an option to “boost ” the post by paying money. This tells me it’s not a fair playing field. Anything I share will always be subordinated to anything people pay to boost. And the same is true of Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook. If you look at the “recent posts” when searching any hashtag, as opposed to the “top posts”, there will be days, weeks, and months-old posts in among material that was uploaded minutes ago. The consequence is that when you upload something, even if someone does a search for one of the hashtags you used, your chances of anyone seeing it are sharply reduced because the most recent posts are filled with old, paid-for posts.
“De-boosting” is taking it to another level, which is deliberately strangling the reach of a post behind the scenes. It was intended to be invisible. Nowadays, online presence is critical to the success of many businesses, and reach of audience is of paramount importance. Meanwhile, companies are secretly choking people’s reach for political reasons, or because they simply disagree with the narrative, which is also to sabotage their livelihood.
The general trend is to squelch unpopular opinions, creations, arguments, and so on. And the problem is that not only are heinous views unpopular, but so are ones that are a bit ahead, or challenge established orthodoxy, or are just outside of generally accepted views.
That said, Jones seems to have entered a desperate phase of trying to regain attention and relevance. He recently appeared in a marathon-length Joe Rogan Experience broadcast, which currently has over 7.7 million views. Clips from the show have hundreds of thousands to millions of views each. The conspiracy theories he’s now putting forth are punishingly ridiculous. I don’t know how people can stand watching more than a few minutes of his ranting, unless it’s for sheer, ironic, entertainment value.
One of his most important revelations is that hospitals are harvesting baby organs. Alex wants us to be really alarmed about this. You see, when a baby is born with a severe deformity, or some other drastic problem, doctors, get this, try to keep them alive and comfortable while the parents decide if heroic measures are warranted to keep the baby alive which would otherwise die. This is apparently a conspiracy to keep the babies alive for a week, quietly cart them off without the parents’ knowledge, and sell the priceless baby organs on the international black market for transplants.
A problem so immediate it should smack you in the face while he’s mid-sentence is that new-born baby organs can only be transplanted into other babies. A baby heart isn’t going to pump blood through a globalist, technocrat’s body. Thus, we have to imagine that some people’s babies are born in need of replacement organs, and it’s possible to perform such surgery on newborns, and the people who do this, who must be among the best doctors in the world, are all in on this black market bullshit. We must imagine that hospitals have stores of baby organs waiting to be used. And that’s about the most believable of his tall tales.
The gray aliens are evil, and called “elves” by the people in the secret cabal of the globalist, elite, who know all about them, commune with them, and have received advanced scientific knowledge from them. Why, LSD was discovered in the 20’s by the Nazis, cuz the space elves. Never mind that we know who discovered it, and how. Virtual reality goggles existed in the 50s… because we got the technology from the aliens.
As soon as someone says that the Nazis were in league with the aliens, my brain wants to vomit, whether the aliens are the greys (those are the evil “elves”), or inter-dimensional, shape-shifting, reptile-people. The real history lesson is that normal people became Nazi ideologues, and uplifting rhetoric was used to justify gassing innocent people to death. People are the problem, and we don’t need help from other galaxies, or dimensions, to get up to vicious and horrible deeds. Everything we need is here.
Jones also knows what God is. God looks like a comet, he says. You see, God is consciousness, and it’s a giant comet, but the tail of the comet is evil, and snaps back and tries to undo all the good God is doing. Profound
Bullshit stories are the least credible when they are the most specific. Rogan himself was bringing up the Zecharia Sitchin theories of how humans were created by space aliens by combining their DNA with that of primates, because, uh, evolution doesn’t explain how humans came about clearly enough. It just had to be space aliens. This kind of thinking requires looking at all the evidence supporting the argument (such as a cave drawing of a person with a quill and arrows, but if you look at it a certain way it looks like a ray gun), and none of those that would demolish it.
I used to sit next to a guy at work who was heavily into the Sitchin stuff, and he told me some of the details. You see, there was an Anunnaki space commander, named Enlil, from the planet Nibiru… At this point I would have to ask myself why the alien language was closer to English than is Chinese. Meanwhile, the aliens came to Earth to get our gold, because their planet was getting too hot, and they needed to put gold leaf in the atmosphere to keep out the sun’s rays. The reason the Anunnaki created humans was because they needed slaves, or a workforce, to harvest the gold for them, which they couldn’t do themselves or in any more advanced way. Enlil?! Anunnaki?! They needed our GOLD?!
And so, a civilization which is capable of space travel that we are not (traveling at light speed it would take over 100 years to reach the next potentially habitable planet, and we can’t travel at the speed of light), couldn’t create machines to mine gold, nor use any other means to reduce the sun’s rays. And they couldn’t just inhabit the Earth instead. We must have had mountains of gold back then, because there needed to be enough to envelope the entire planet of Nibiru. And, of course, the gold leaf would just float there, perpetually, undisturbed.
The Anunnaki’s spacecraft would have to be able to transport gold cargo weighing a gazillion times its own weight, but, mind you, they couldn’t have transported machinery or robots from their planet to Earth to harvest the gold, nor just bring people over to live on Earth, where, until then, there was apparently no intelligent life (not sure if they put their DNA in dolphins or not). What, you say they lacked the metals to make robots and machinery, other than their spaceship, so, duh, that’s why they came to Earth. OK, so why not use our metals to make machinery and robots using the same technology they used to make their spaceship? No, they had to put their DNA in monkeys, raise them up to adults, and then set them to work, meanwhile their entire populace was frying back on Nibiru. OK.
Joe Rogan brought up this Sitchin fable in order to ground Jones and tether him to some form of something that is taken seriously by at least wingnuts. That’s how far out Jones now is.
No, I didn’t watch the full 4 hour and 40 minute podcast. I could barely stomach a few of the roughly 10-minute highlights. It’s like watching a compulsive liar make up lies on the spot. Rogan showed extraordinary tolerance by never yelling, or even whispering Bullshit!.
It just hit me what it really reminds me of. There are fake martial artists who say they can toss people about without even touching them. One guy, named George Dillman, who apparently, at some point, coached Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, claims he can knock people out with an energy ball (a “chi ball”). When this was put to the test by skeptics, and failed, his comeback was what reminds me so much of Jones’ rambling:
“I don’t know if I should say that on film, but if the guy had his tongue in the wrong position of the mouth, uh, that can also nullify it.. In fact, you can nullify it if you raise those two big toes. PLUS, if I say I’m gonna’ knock you out, and you raise one toe and push one down, can’t knock you out. And then if I go to try again you reverse it…if you keep doing this, I won’t knock you out.”
One should wonder what the use is of taking years to develop an ostensible martial arts attack that can be rendered useless by moving your tongue or toes. Utter bullshit and on-the-spot lies. If you watch the guy spewing his nonsense, it’s quite similar to Jones:
I wonder what percentage of the seven and a half million people who at least clicked on the video believe any of what Jones says.
I looked at the comments, and they were overwhelmingly positive. My favorite had to be: “Alex Jones for president 2024”. You thought it couldn’t get any more fictitious after Reagan (an actor), then W (“is our children learning”), then Trump (nobody believed he’d become president a day before he was elected), and now … Alex Jones. If Jones becomes president I will believe I live in a simulated universe, and whoever is running it is not only a comedian, but probably cruel. And then in response to that comment, someone asked why not Jones in 2020? Well, I guess even if you think Jones should be the next president, to end baby organ harvesting and forestall elf-alien mind control, you gotta give Trump a second term. Priorities!
Suddenly I feel like a bastion of rock-solid sanity. I still oppose Jones being silenced, but find his level of bullshittery automatically pernicious. Some hoaxes are designed to test people’s credibility, undermine accepted perspectives which are bunk (the fake articles published by far left journals), to mock bogus perspectives, or for humor (Borat)… Exposure to them — though it may require “the reveal” — can make people less vulnerable to bullshit, force them to be more critical in their thinking, or cause them to re-evaluate or consider something new.
But Jones’ blather doesn’t seem to have a higher purpose, and may only unintentionally be humorous. It’s hard to say if he’s LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) or not, but I doubt he really believes all the crap he puts out there, just as I know that keeping one toe up and one toe down doesn’t nullify an invisible energy ball hurled by a martial arts “expert”. He also sells his goofy products, like “Super Male Vitality”, so I gather his true objective is to make a mint off of gullible people, and he’s not concerned if he’s impeding their ability to assess reality. Or, rather, he’s deliberately skewing their reality, and dumbing them down, in order to sell them snake oil. That, however, is the nature of quite a lot of advertising (creating a need for something completely unnecessary), and I fear shutting Alex down had far less to do with what he was doing, and far more to do with which team he was doing it for.
In the end, the sad consequence is that Alex is driven to ever more extreme measures in order to stay in the spotlight, and he’s become a parody of even himself. Perhaps his next performance can be a live seance to remove an alien spirit which implanted itself into his brain. | <urn:uuid:4c36b483-920c-413f-9181-484c6eaef1a0> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://artofericwayne.com/2019/03/04/alex-jones-is-a-complete-and-utter-nutter-aliens-nazis-and-baby-organ-harvesting/ | 2019-03-23T16:27:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202889.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190323161556-20190323183556-00055.warc.gz | en | 0.966927 | 2,946 |

Ebusua Dwarfs will be reporting ASC Diaraaf to CAF for the bringing forward the return leg match of their Confederations Cup tie without permission.
The Ghanaian side managed to hold the Senegalese club to a 0-0 draw to progress in the competition on Saturday on a 1-0 aggregate scoreline.
Dwarfs have however raised a protest over the sudden change in the match date.
According to CAF rules, the date to an earlier confirmed game and venue cannot be changed within 10-days to the said match.
Dwarfs nevertheless played the game despite the serious inconvenience and secured the desired result.
The club now says it will be reporting the Senegalese club to CAF despite their progression.
“We were told the match will be played on the 16th so we left here [Accra] on Friday and arrived in Senegal at dawn,†Dwarfs’ Chief Executive Nana Aidoo told Peace FM.
“Then later in the morning we were told to come for pre-match and was told the match is coming on that same day.
“After various consultations we decided to play the game but all the same we are going to report the side to CAF by going through the Ghana FA.†| <urn:uuid:c5626210-adf4-4644-8071-214f1504df16> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://ghanasoccernet.com/dwarfs-report-diaraaf-caf-sudden-change-match-date/ | 2016-05-24T09:51:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049270527.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002110-00161-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964588 | 290 |
Bail Company Huntsville, AL. If you’re trying to find a bail company in Huntsville, AL, chances are you or someone you love is in trouble. It’s a scary and unpredictable time. Rush Bail Bonds is here for you. With more than 15 years experience in the bail bond business, we know what it takes to get you out of jail and on with your life. One call to one of our bail agents at (256) 217-5152 and you will discover we have deep passion we have for helping people. We want nothing more than to help you or your loved one succeed. That success starts with getting out of jail. Let’s do this.
Do I Really Need A Bail Company?
Getting arrested, regardless of guilt, is perhaps one of the most life changing events someone can go through. Did you know the average size of a jail cell is that of a king size bed? Yep, it’s small and terribly uncomfortable. Not to mention, an inmate is often sharing a cell with another person. It doesn’t get much worse than that. Hiring a bail bond company can help you get out of a jail cell and back to your home as quickly as possible. We understand it may be difficult to trust people right now. But, rest assured you can count on our bail company. Our bail agents are on your side!
I’m Arrested, Now What?
If this is your first time getting arrested, you probably have a lot of questions. We understand. It’s an uncertain time. We’re here to walk you through the process, step by step. Let’s start with what happens when you or a loved one get booked into jail. If you’ve been arrested in Huntsville, AL, you will probably be taken by patrol car to the Madison County Metro Jail. Once you’ve entered the jail, your picture and fingerprints will be taken. You will receive a medical and mental evaluation. If you’re charged with a minor offense and have no criminal history, you may be released on your own recognizance. This means you will not have to pay any bond. However, if you’ve been charged with a misdemeanor or felony you may be held in jail until your first court appearance. This hearing typically happens within 24 hours of an arrest. During a first appearance a judge will determine how much you will need to pay to get out of jail- this is called bail or bond. A judge determines bail based on several factors, including criminal history and employment status.
Once bail is set you have four options: pay cash, property bond, pretrial release or hire a professional and licensed bail company. If you have the cash available and you’ve been charged with a misdemeanor, you can pay the total bail amount directly to the City of Huntsville, AL, City of Madison or Madison County. If paying cash isn’t an option you can sign over your home, this is also known as a property bond. According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, you must prove the property’s worth with a tax assessment and prove it is free of liens to qualify. For more information posting a property bond visit www.madisoncountysheriffal.org.
Rush Bail Bonds Will Get You Out!
If your case meets certain criteria, you may also qualify for pretrial release. You can call the Offices of Alternative Sentencing and Release for more information. If you’re bail is set so high, you don’t have the property value or cash to pay for it, you can always hire a professional bail company conveniently located in Huntsville, AL. At Rush Bail Bonds, we charge between 10%-15% of the total bail amount to get you out of jail. We also require a co-signer and some form of collateral, such as property or bank account. We need collateral in the event you or a loved one skips town and doesn’t show up to court hearings. If this were to happen, our bail company would need a way to pay for the total bail amount. Of course, we hope it never reaches this point. Stay in constant contact with your attorney to make sure you always know when you have a court hearing.
When it comes to getting out of jail, you have several options. If you decide you need the help of a professional bail company, we are confident Rush Bail Bonds is the right choice. We are available 24/7, 365 days because we know there is never a good time to be arrested. Our life’s work is getting your life back on track! Call us today at (256) 217-5152! We’re looking forward to helping you! | <urn:uuid:dff2d348-4f74-429b-8019-d35385f236ea> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://rushbailbonds.net/huntsville-al/bail-company/ | 2017-12-12T00:25:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948514238.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212002021-20171212022021-00793.warc.gz | en | 0.953189 | 992 |
Those who were wondering how effective Sidney Crosby would be in his first game back didn’t have to wait long to find out.
The Penguins star, who skated with a softball-style facemask Friday night after missing 13 games with a broken jaw, wasted no time getting his name back on the scoresheet. Crosby scored twice in the first eight minutes of Game 2 as Pittsburgh built an early 3-1 lead on the Islanders.
After smoking the Isles 5-0 in Game 1 of the teams’ first-round series, the Penguins seemed well on their way to a second blowout in three days.
Check out Crosby’s two tallies in the video below.
Isles make a statement
Alternate captain Kyle Okposo made sure the No. 8 seed did not go quietly, though, as the Islanders winger gave his team a much-needed jolt in the second period.
After Pittsburgh’s Matt Niskanen laid out Matt Moulson with an open-ice hit, Okposo went after him, and the two dropped the gloves in a spirited bout. Niskanen ended up getting the better of Okposo in the end, but the tilt energized the Islanders, who went on to score three unanswered goals — all on favorable bounces off the back boards — to even the series at 1-1.
Okposo himself notched the game-winner when his shot missed the mark but rebounded off the back of goalie Marc-Andre Fleury‘s pads and into the net.
?We know that we didn?t play the way we needed to,? Crosby said after the game. ?I don?t think we feel like we did enough to deserve that one.?
Check out the fight that turned the tide in the video below.
With all the drama surrounding the Senators-Canadiens series, it wasn’t particularly surprising that someone lost a tooth during Game 2 on Friday. Most didn’t expect that player to be Montreal goalie Carey Price, though.
With the Habs leading 2-0 early in the second period, Price got accidentally run over by his own teammate, with Jarred Tinordi‘s skate catching him right in the face. The netminder remained down in his crease for a few moments before skating over to the Montreal bench — to deliver the dislodged tooth to one of the team trainers.
Price’s smile may have taken a hit, but his play in net did not. The Canadiens, who were missing the services of Max Pacioretty, Brian Gionta and Lars Eller, rode a strong performance by their goalie to a 3-1 win that knotted the series.
Montreal’s first goal was a bit of a gift, as Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson‘s pass in front of his own net was intercepted by Ryan White for an easy goal. The All-Star didn’t deny his mistake, and he owned up to it on Twitter after the game.

When winter comes, Johanna Davis and her partner Adam Nordell shut down their small organic farm in Unity, Maine, and take to the road, playing as much music as they can before planting season rolls around again.
The folk duo known as Sassafras Stomp will perform on Sunday, Feb. 5, at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center, 111 E. 100 North. Fellow Maine musician, singer-guitarist Sean Oshima, will open the show.
With Davis on fiddle, and Nordell playing guitar or five-string banjo, the couple sing and perform both traditional and original songs drawing from the cultures of Appalachia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Scotland and Ireland, as well as the French-Canadian music of Quebec near their home state of Maine.
Since Thanksgiving Day, Sassafras Stomp has been touring the country in support of their new CD “Walk These Fields” – original songs “informed by the rhythms and experiences of working on a farm,” Nordell said. “The birth and death cycles; the scenery of being outside all day – we bring it into our songwriting.”
The CD is a “celebration of small farms and connection to place through original song,” according to the group’s website. The couple’s Songbird Farm is a certified organic farm on the banks of the Sandy River in west-central Maine.
“The farm is an incredible palette to draw from – it’s so beautiful,” Nordell said.
Their band often plays Celtic and old-time music for contra dances in Maine and around the country, including cities like Boston, Seattle and Montreal, as well as tiny towns in Montana and Maine.
Davis grew up in Round Pond, Maine, surrounded by fiddle players and homesteaders. She began performing at contra dances at age 14. Nordell was raised in Helena, Montana, where he used to play bass in ska and reggae bands. Nine years ago, they began playing music together, and in 2012, the couple was invited to perform at Catapult! The National Contra Dance Showcase in Atlanta.
Nordell spoke with the Moab Sun News from Bynum, Montana, where he and Davis were participating in the Artists in Schools program at a two-room schoolhouse where students begin the day with social and square dancing while a record player spins tunes in the school’s gym – an old Methodist Church. It’s the fifth year Sassafras Stomp has led workshops at the school.
Oshima is also promoting his new CD “The Oshima Brothers,” a collection of original songs recorded with his brother Jamie. The duo often perform their style of “folk pop” around New England.
“I do most of the songwriting and Jamie does most of the instrumentation,” Oshima said. “On the recording, we’re able to track many different layers. I’ll do more simplified versions (at the Moab concert) and hopefully get Adam and Johanna to play along on some of the songs.”
Oshima grew up in Whitefield, Maine, and frequently visits Songbird Farm, where lively concerts are often hosted.
“I do a lot of traveling,” Oshima said. “I love all the people I get to meet along the way. I feel like my songwriting reflects that.”
The Moab Community Dance Band is sponsoring the concert at the MARC.
“We’re helping them because it’s important to support acoustic music,” said Miriam Graham, who plays concertina and pennywhistle for the community dance band.
Earlier that day, Davis and Nordell will conduct music workshops for the community dance band, which performs monthly at contra dances in Moab. The next community contra dance is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 18.
The band is always open to additional musicians joining in, Graham said. Anyone interested in playing in the band is welcome to attend the workshop, she said.

Just a few quick updates…...
Wedding Planner Offer:
As you may know, we have selected WITB (Weddings in the Bahamas) as our local wedding planners. They have been nothing but professional and courteous (see earlier posts).
At this point, we are about 95% locked in on price and features. All that really remains is the final color of the flowers and tiny details like that. Our wedding time is set for 1pm..but we are considering moving the time back to 2:15pm.
With the wedding at 1pm, it is doubtful that anyone will be able to do any of the cruise line shore excursions. I have to discuss this with Kel (in detail) and look over the posted shore excursions….but we’d like for people to enjoy the Bahamas as much as possible.
Sure…our invitations say 1pm…but everyone going on the cruise (20 at this posting) are easily reachable…and will know the correct time of the wedding.
As you know…I am (unfortunately) consumed with the budget. Coming up with about 85% of the total budget by Jan 12, 2014…is becoming a bit of a downer.
To that end….WITB requires a $ 750.00 NON-refundable deposit. That is NON-refundable…as in…throw the check in the garbage..and light it on fire (should anything happen)!!! My first thought is…HELL NO!!
My second thought is…HELL, HELL NO!!!
I work WAY too hard for my money for this kind of offer!!
Kel is worried about losing the beach. I am too…just not $ 750 worried!
With the average ceremony lasting 30min…and setup running, say…and hour…they could do 6 weddings on that beach while we are in port.
Nope…the deposit will have to wait until AFTER Jan 12, 2014. Once we know we are a “Go”, then I will gladly send the deposit.
Let me be fair, by saying that ALL the Destination Wedding Planners require some sort of large, non-refundable deposit…not just WITB.
So that $ 750 deposit I reported on a few days ago….was never dropped in the mail.
Instead…..I will put that $ 750 towards the balance of our stateroom.
There….at least THAT’s paid for!!

Business coaching is a collaboration between employer, the person being coached and the coach. The coaching question to be worked on must be clearly established in advance. Clients use business coaching for development questions around (personal) leadership, entrepreneurship, personal effectiveness, communication, visibility and positioning and general functioning within their current roles. Sometimes the coaching takes place at the initiative of the manager as part of, for example, the HR cycle. And sometimes business coaching is at the request of the employee.
How does it work?
We start with a 30-minute intake interview to explore the coaching question you have and what you want to achieve through coaching. The intake interview is without obligation. At the end of the intake you decide whether you want to continue. A coaching trajectory consists on average of 6 conversations of 1.5 hours spread over a number of months. We make clear agreements in advance about the costs, the number of meetings and mutual expectations.
If the coaching is partly at the initiative of the employer, the coaching question is determined in a three-way meeting at the start of the coaching. This is a meeting between the employer, the person being coached and the coach. At the end of the coaching we also meet again to see whether the goal has been achieved. Important lessons learned are discussed and how these are now seen in practice.
Business coaching with Connecting Energy means the following:
- Change is only possible if the coached person can say ‘Yes’ to his or her own coaching question. Taking responsibility for one’s own behaviour and daring to be vulnerable are basic ingredients.
- We make clear agreements in advance about the costs, the number of meetings and mutual expectations.
- Whatever it takes! Connecting Energy is committed to facilitating the greatest possible change for the person being coached.
- There is not one methodology used as standard during coaching. Everyone learns differently. The interventions that are used are always tailor-made.
- This is a temporary connection. A coaching process has a clear beginning and end and does not take longer than necessary.
Do you have questions or are you interested? Please contact us for a no-obligation consultation.
Connecting Energy is internationally certified as an individual coach and team coach, works according to the competencies of the International Coaching Federation and adheres to their Code of Ethics. | <urn:uuid:4a304cdf-7b47-4114-b933-05e41d8fef6d> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://connectingenergy.nl/coaching/business-coaching/?lang=en | 2023-02-03T11:13:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500044.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20230203091020-20230203121020-00807.warc.gz | en | 0.969323 | 476 |
I’m a boxer, and I would like help with putting together a weight lifting routine. I just started boxing in the past year, and I cannot lift like I used to. Before I started boxing, I was always doing heavy push, pull, legs workout (three workouts a week). Now that I’ve started boxing, those type of workouts make me to sore, and I cannot keep punching during sparring because my arms feel like tanks. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with a split routine that will help me maintain strength, and size (functional muscle).
Boxing is a great sport that is a tremendous conditioning exercise as well as being a perfect example of functional strength. There are specific manners that a boxer will train. My only question is how focused you want your boxing work to be?. In faith, Coach Davies
as a boxer you don’t want a standard BBer workout… I saw an old several week workout list made by Dr. Squat for Evander Holyfield a while back. You could probably figure out how to adapt this to your needs. Now if only i could remember the url.
Check out some of the threads on Coach Davies training. I used to kick-box and this Renegade training sure seems like it would have a very nice carryover. Afterall…you need to be able to apply force for a long time during a fight so a heavy 1rm max doesn’t have much value unless you can lift the same weight in a fatigued state.
I have just posted a message that might be relavent to your situation. I have heard that the negative portion of the lift is responsible for making you sore but does little for strength.
Louie simmons in his testosterone interview said, Things like slow repetitions and negatives just make you sore! They will increase size, but they do nothing to increase strength, so we don’t do them!
maybe you can keep the negative portion of your lifts to a minimum.
hey dman - I always look forward to your comments. I’m in complete agreement with you. The problem is moving to boxing training from bodybuilding. A friend of mine, who is a boxer has a motto of saying he got his arms from lifting them up off the canvas. Take care brother, In faith, Coach Davies
If the moderator will let this pass the site for Fred Hatfields training of Evander is:
an interesting read for sure…
right on. thanks to coach D. and to Kelly, for digging up the url, i thought i had it bookmarked.
Coach Davies I am 100% serious about my boxing and am going to turn pro early next year.Could you share your views on training for boxing and the specific manners that a boxer will train. Thanks
Same here… i would love 2 hear your opinion
on boxing specific …functional strenght.
Thanks coach D !
one of my first loves in the training of boxers - might be the easiest to show functional training. Everything needs to be functional. Rope work with fisted pushups and 60 second flurrys of combo. Repetition of punches (precise combo’s and defensive patterns). Functionality of strength - chop wood/wheelbarrow/sand bags … Whew, you got me pumped. Lets talk more brothers. In faith,
what boxers have you worked with?
Train high intensity on the same day you box (do it before and take an easy break inbetween)you want to do something brief and intense (you get plenty of volume in the ring and on the bags). Make sure you get a full day of rest after boxing and strenght work. You will be like jello for the first couple of times, but then you will adapt.
Coach Davies my boxing training at the moment is pretty much standard training pad work, sparring and roadwork. For strength I train heavy low rep 3 times a week in the morning and then boxing training of a night.
From reading your post and articles I realise I am only half doing things.My boxing and strength training need alot of work. I am going to start renegade training and get myself in serious shape, I am going to turn pro early next year so I have about 6 months to get in real shape.
Since reading your articles and post I have started using 1 arm bent press, woodchops, sled dragging, climbing rope, pulling rope with a weight on the end.
As per your previous post I will include rope work with fisted pushups and 60 second flurrys.
could you please advise how to structure the workouts and what specific exercises to use you mentioned sandbags and wheel barrow. The training I have done this way is great for mental strength you really need to be tough to do it. This is the perfect way to train for boxing combining strength,fitness and mental toughness
Any guidance is greatly appreciated
Here is a tip for you from a martial artist. When I workout on the iron, I have a heavy bag in the basement. Now this is brutal, but effective. During any upper body workout…between sets hit the bag for one minute. So for example, do 1 set of bench…wait one minute, hit the bag one minute, wait one minute…do your next set. It is brutal, and your poundages drop…but it helps a lot. I do the same thing with legs…except kicks between sets. As a MA, not a boxer, I have specialized it a bit more so it is as follows: Bench=body punching Pulldowns/rows=grabbing and pulling towards techniques Shoulders or triceps=high blocks and face punching biceps=grab and pulls. That is just the upper body…since you use no lower body techniques. Try it, I think you will like the results.
Ausbox - where or in which state do you train? Im in NSW and trained extensively in MA before doing alot of focused training with Grant Chapman and a little with Spike Cheyney (Australias most recent, if not only, olympic silver medalist). I wrestle in the best CBD MMA gym now but in the past Ive sparred extensively with one of Anthony Mundines old sparring partners. Eccentric movements help eccentric strength which is of questionable benefit to boxing on most lifts. Listen to the Poliquin audio on this site for starters but Id stick to getting the basics right (and not stress about the margins or rats and mice) ie fast concentric and eccentric. More importantly, I suggest that if you want to go pro you need to become your own nutrition/exercise/weights guru or hire one. Assuming you want to stay in the same weight class, nutrition and probably some supplements will be key to making power/speed gains without overtraining or gaining size. Training wise - I would consider doing sets of 60% 1rm SUPER EXPLOSIVE UP AND DOWN first and foremost. Maybe supplement with some heavy low rep work still explosive but feel for any detrimental speed effects afterward. Plenty of stretching of worked muscles during and after workouts is critical. Key movements are are variety of pushing type leg movements (squat/lunge type weighted movements as well as some sled/car) and twisting movements (swiss ball, core work, assymetrical lifts, specialised olympic bar twisting movements etc). Olympic lifts (clean and jerk and snatch) are also favoured by MMA competitors for explosiveness. I reiterate though, if this is to be your lively hood you need to be a conditioning expert or hire a recognised boxing conditioning expert because you WILL fuck up otherwise and the wrong training will waste your time if not set you back.
… and a Bill Roberts type chemistry knowledge or advisor is likely to help with gaining and maintaining power when training to assist power without size and making weight in the best way possible. Ive never considered it because I have no need, but if I wanted to go pro Id at least want to know what type of chemical advantage my opponents might have when they do their thing on my brain cells. | <urn:uuid:5dc9a5d2-d408-4f16-86eb-9b695245be85> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://forums.t-nation.com/t/need-help-with-workout-boxing/8172 | 2020-10-27T21:19:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107894759.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20201027195832-20201027225832-00181.warc.gz | en | 0.949494 | 1,662 |

recent sketchbook spreads
I haven't created much art lately, being too busy with my new job. But last weekend I took a much-needed break from working, and spent hours with my sketchbooks, just playing around. All images are collage, with Crayola wax crayons and occasionally pencil, coloured pencil, or china markers. | <urn:uuid:a007af71-c0a6-4374-9f65-c1c2a2877c82> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://emelgy.blogspot.com/2008/07/recent-sketchbook-spreads.html | 2018-05-27T23:21:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00346.warc.gz | en | 0.973705 | 79 |
Pete Luckett says he heard the rumour for 10 years that Sobeys had bought his grocery business, Pete’s Fine Foods. “I used to hear it every week. Somebody would say, ‘Pete, I heard Sobeys bought you out.’”
Sobeys did eventually buy out Luckett — Nova Scotia’s celebrity grocer, and one of its best-known entrepreneurs. But he insists Nova Scotia-based Sobeys did not approach him until four months before the deal closed in November 2015. Sobeys paid an undisclosed amount for Pete’s Fine Foods, which at the time employed 450 people and consisted of two Pete’s Frootique grocery stores (in Bedford and Halifax) and a wholesale business.
Pete’s — as the stores are known in Nova Scotia — are like smaller versions of Whole Foods. The stores are known for their healthy image, exotic fruit, hard-to-find items and lively displays. Pete’s stores are not for value shoppers.
A third-party contact suggested Luckett talk to Sobeys about selling. The resulting negotiations included a hush-hush meeting in Halifax with Marc Poulin, then Sobeys’s chief executive. “It had to be secret. Everybody knows me,” Luckett says with a grin.
“It wasn’t a tough negotiation. We came to an agreement on a price pretty quickly,” Luckett adds. “It was an incredible moment in my life to do that deal.”
Luckett is no longer in the day-to-day grocery business — an industry he was in for decades. He’s now focused on his newest venture: Luckett Vineyards, an Annapolis Valley winery he started in 2010.
The fruit and vegetable trade is always on your mind — that inventory is dying by the second. Wine, meanwhile, is getting better by the minute.
It’s a significant change. The fruit and vegetable trade, he says, is a “24-7 pressure-pot business.” “It’s (always) on your mind — that inventory is dying by the second,” he says. Wine, meanwhile, is “getting better by the minute.”
Luckett, 64, grew up in Nottingham, England and learned his signature sales techniques in that city’s Victoria Market, from a greengrocer named Pat Briton. Luckett worked at Briton’s fruit and vegetable stall as a teenager, and then, at 21, opened his own stand. “That proved to be a terrific success for me, even at that young age — competing with seasoned greengrocers and market traders. I was up against them but I managed to make a mark for myself.”
Luckett is a gregarious and charismatic salesman. He welcomes strangers with the same enthusiasm most people reserve for their good friends. He’s quick with a smile and calls everyone “mate.” It was in the Victoria Market that he honed his casual and effective sales style. “It was called chatting up the customers,” he says of the technique, while admitting that some of his original tactics and lines would no longer be considered politically correct.
Luckett left England in 1979, at age 26. In Canada he found odd jobs: hammering For Sale signs into the ground, painting houses and working in a sawmill. He even claims to have sold illegal cockroach powder in Texas.
In 1982, following a failed farm and yogurt venture in New Brunswick, Luckett was down to his last $300. He set up a stall in the Saint John market and returned to using the sales techniques and tricks he learned in England.
“I remember it like yesterday, my first day,” he recalls, seated in his winery office. Within a few weeks he was producing daily sales of between $800 and $1,000, making change for customers out of his money belt. He felt like the Lone Ranger: “I couldn’t stop for a break. I had go for a pee in the morning and pee at night. I couldn’t leave the stall.”
Following a decade in Saint John, Luckett moved to Nova Scotia and set up a Pete’s Frootique store in Bedford. “I expected to hit the ground running, but it did not happen.” The store struggled for a year and a half, but eventually took root. He opened a second store in downtown Halifax and the Pete’s name flourished.
Luckett became one of Nova Scotia’s most recognizable entrepreneurs, appearing often on TV. In the 1990s, he was the most prominent voice in the fight against Nova Scotia’s ban on Sunday shopping. Luckett defied the ban by dividing his stores into many small entities under one roof. Individually, the smaller operations were allowed to open on Sunday. Others copied the tactic and the Sunday shopping ban was eventually dropped. He considers it a highlight of his career.
“For many years we ruled the roost of Sunday shopping in Nova Scotia,” he says with obvious pride.
There have, however, been some missteps. A third Pete’s store, in rural Wolfville, near Luckett’s home, failed and was closed before the sale to Sobeys.
“We misread the market and for three years we never were able to achieve the sales we needed to make money in that store,” he says. “That was a tough pill to swallow — to say goodbye and close it up, especially in my hometown… I had to bow my head and get out of there.”
Luckett has lived in the Annapolis Valley for nearly 20 years now and purchased his Valley vineyard in 2000. He grew fruits and vegetables but eventually ripped up the crops in favour of grapes. The winery now puts out 108,000 bottles a year in 20 varieties. With additional acreage, he hopes to hit 360,000 bottles annually.
For Luckett, products are interchangeable, but the sales techniques remain constant.
“Whether it’s drugs, sex, rock ’n’ roll, roofing materials — the same rules apply: the engagement of the customer,” he says. “(We’re in) the feeling-good business. Give the customer what they want. Listen to them. The basic rules I learned from Pat Briton I still apply … and he was just a little old Nottingham greengrocer.”
At Luckett’s vineyard, there’s an old British phone booth among the vines. Visitors are invited to make free long-distance calls to anyplace in North America. (The winery’s best-seller is Phone Box Red.)
“I always try to make a business a fun place to be, never losing sight of who is paying the bills. When the customers come in that door, we call it show time. We put on a show every day for our customers.”
Luckett had already stepped away from day-to-day operations at Pete’s before selling to Sobeys. He says that was key to selling the business: it was clear Pete’s would still run without him — although it took many years for him to reach that point of contented detachment.
“That was a challenge,” he says. “(For years) I was Pete the truck driver, Pete the merchandiser, Pete the customer service representative, Pete the head cashier. I was wearing all hats and struggled to leave it up to anybody.”
Luckett signed a 10-year consulting contract with Sobeys and says he is helping redesign the Bedford Pete’s location. The Pete’s brand, if successful under Sobeys, could expand. (Sobeys spokesman Andrew Walker wouldn’t comment on its plans for the Pete’s banner.)
Does Luckett harbour any regrets about leaving the fruit and veg business behind?
“Not at all. Not one,” he says. “The timing was right.”
Gone is the 24-7 pressure of running a food business — with many employees and lots of inventory. “Even with a great team, the buck stops here on these shoulders. I was always there. It never leaves you,” he says.
“To kiss that goodbye was really an incredible thing.” | <urn:uuid:87f050e6-b7ec-4f3a-818f-50f94bd48899> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://business.financialpost.com/entrepreneur/0213-biz-qc-luckett/wcm/c14694b8-f8b8-409e-ad37-f53b90a75d1a | 2017-06-24T17:23:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320270.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624170517-20170624190517-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.976855 | 1,798 |
If you think buying a sleek laptop with all the latest features available loaded on it will be a great replacement for the bulky immovable stagnant desktop, then my dear friend you are absolutely wrong. A laptop may act like a good replacement to your old massive desktop only when you have correct laptop accessories attached to it that make your work easier and enjoyable. There are numerous laptop accessories available in the market and that too in various price ranges. You need to access your work requirements and judge which laptop accessories will ease your work and prove helpful. Also, do analyze the market whenever you are in a mood to buy an accessory for your laptop, check the prices, quality, available options to buy from, and not to forget the budget or funds you want to invest.
Here I provide a good list of laptop accessories from which you can choose how many of them are useful to you.
Useful laptop Accessories to Buy
#17- USB Mouse
What I feel is that, when a person buys a laptop he always tests the touch pad on it and compares it with others. The quality of touch pad and the smoothness to work with matters a lot while selecting from huge range of models of laptop. This influences your choice to buy a particular laptop. But at the end of the day, you will find it hectic if you work for long hours on your laptop. So, a good quality USB mouse will be a nice add-on to your laptop. Working with a mouse makes a task easy to go with ( Unless you are using a MacBook, on which trackpad wins hands down). A USB Mouse is not just an add-on to laptop but it also increases your reach ability, you can sit a bit far from laptop using mouse and not touch pad. The USB mouse calms your wrist and on the other hand the touch pad tires your wrist.
A mouse can be a wired one or a wireless one, that truly depends on your need and funds. Also the wired mouse can be of free wire or the one with retractable cable, a retractable cable mouse reduces mess when you keep it in your laptop bag.
#16 – Mouse Pad
A mouse pad is seriously a very useful as compared to various laptop accessories. Many mouse companies will tell you that their mouse works with all the surfaces, but you will find difficulty while working a surfaces like glass, plastic one with reflecting characteristic and many others also. The solution to all this is a mouse pad, so that whatever be the surface, it doesn’t matter at all.
Mouse pads can be of many types, some are quite simple and are totally flat surface. Some mouse pads have a cushioned area specifically to rest your wrist. These mouse pads keep your wrist calm so that you can work for very long time without getting tired.

In the following guest post, Jay Knight, a member in the Bass, Berry & Sims law firm, provides some recommendations on what do to when responding to filing comments from the SEC. I would like to thank Jay for allowing me to publish his article as a guest post on this site. I welcome guest post submissions from responsible authors on topics of interest to this site’s readers. Please contact me directly if you would like to submit a guest post. Here is Jay’s article.
During my tenure on staff in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Division of Corporation Finance, I had the opportunity to engage in the full spectrum of interactions with outside parties. Throughout the SEC comment letter process, I often would find myself interacting with management, outside securities counsel, the independent auditor, as well as others. Set forth below are some practical tips that you may want to employ when responding to SEC comments in connection with the standard SEC filing review in the Division of Corporation Finance.
- Know where the comment came from. At the outset, it is important to know your audience with the SEC. You should find out in what division or office the staff member works. If a company receives a comment letter from the SEC, find out which office or division sent the letter, as written on the letter. Once you know the name of the office, do some more research to learn about that division’s or office’s role within the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance. This may seem elementary, but it was surprising the number of interactions I had where the other party made incorrect assumptions on this essential issue.
- Read the comment letter When a company receives a comment letter, it seems natural to go straight to the body of the document and to read the numbered comments. How many did we get? Are any of them difficult? However, it is equally important to read the lead-in to the comments as well as the final closing paragraphs. The lead-in paragraphs often tell you what type of review the staff conducted—a limited review (also called a monitor) or a full review. A limited review is used if the Staff is targeting the review for only certain issues (e.g., financial statements, Section 5 matters, etc.). A full review is essentially a full legal and accounting review of the filing, usually with two attorneys and two accountants on the filing.
For limited reviews, the first sentence of the letter often reads, “We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed in our comments.” Along with the actual comments, the heading above the comments will reveal the filings that were reviewed by the Staff (e.g., Forms 10-Q, 8-K, etc.). For full reviews, the first sentence often reads, “We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.”
The closing paragraph is also important because it gives the contact information of the person(s) you should call if you have questions about the comments. The title of the contact person(s) also reveals whether the comments issued were legal and accounting comments, or a mixture of both.
- Consider response letter timing. For Form 10-K comment letters, the SEC comment letter will often state in the lead-in, “Please respond to these comments within 10 business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond.” After reading the comment letter carefully and consulting with your team, assess how long you will need to respond. If you think the 10-day deadline is not realistic, then feel free to ask the Staff for an extension. The Staff is usually accommodating to such requests to the extent the requests are reasonable given the nature of the comments (e.g., a week or two extension is often reasonable). While in many cases the extension is granted on a simple phone call, sometimes the Staff will require that a written extension request be filed on EDGAR. (It depends on varying group practice on this issue.)
For comment letters related to transactions (e.g., IPOs, S-4 mergers, etc.), the Staff’s comment letter does not give a specific response due date. However, if a company takes longer than 90 days to respond to comments, the Staff may take longer than 10 days to review the responses when they eventually get filed, possibly as long as 30 days. (This is because the passage of time may “restart” the review process for them.) So, it is important when you have an active registration statement either to respond within a reasonable period of time or to keep the Staff informed of changes in your deal timeline.
- Assign ownership of each comment to the appropriate team. While the company’s outside securities counsel will often play the role of quarterback to collect and then weave the responses together in a single response letter, it is important to assign each of the comments to the right personnel at the outset so that subject matter experts are taking the lead in the response. For example, accounting comments go to the finance team. In an S-4 joint merger proxy statement situation, there are multiple parties collaborating on the document, so it is important to divvy out the comments to the appropriate person(s). I consider it best practice to articulate a specific timeline with deadlines for the entire response process, including the deadline(s) for when the various workstreams should circulate proposed responses to the larger group for their review. Project management requires communication to all parties involved related to deadlines and required approvals.
- Assess if the comment is a “futures” comment or is asking for an amendment. In connection with 10-K reviews, the Staff often has the choice of issuing a “futures” comment (i.e., comply with the comment in your next applicable periodic report) or a comment requesting an amendment to the applicable filing (e.g., 10-K/A). It is critical to your response that you determine what type of comment has been issued. If the comment itself is unclear, you should review the introductory language to the comment letter for clues, as the Staff typically begins the comment letter with a selection of a “futures” comment letter template or an “amendment” comment letter template. While these are only templates and can be modified by the Staff to fit the particular facts, below are sample introductory paragraphs which demonstrate the differences:
“Amend” comment letter introductory paragraph: “We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents in response to these comments [emphasis added]. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.”
“Futures” comment letter introductory paragraph: “We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. If you disagree with a comment, we will consider your explanation as to why it is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some comments we have asked you to provide us with additional information so we may better understand your disclosure. You should comply with the remaining comments in future filings, as applicable [emphasis added]. Confirm in writing that you will do so and also explain to us how you intend to comply. Please do so within the time frame set forth below. Please understand that after our review of your responses, we may raise additional comments.”
- Check precedent and peer disclosures. When preparing a draft response, it is best practice to do a thorough search on EDGAR to see if the same or similar comment has been issued to other registrants. How have other companies responded to the comment? Were their arguments winning arguments? In most cases, you should be able to find helpful precedent response letters to help inform the company’s response in your particular situation.
- Consider if confidential treatment is necessary. Occasionally, it will be necessary for a company to include confidential information in its response in order to fully address the Staff’s comment. In these situations, the company may want to request confidential treatment for these portions of its response letter, so that confidential information (such as a trade secret) does not become publicly available after the conclusion of the review process when the letter becomes public on EDGAR.
- Be careful when emailing the Staff. In today’s business world, firing off an email is as routine as getting a cup of coffee. However, when sending an email to the SEC you should consider whether the Staff will later need to post that email on EDGAR as “correspondence” for all the company’s shareholders and public to see. Therefore, I suggest never emailing the Staff substantive comments if the correspondence is in connection with an SEC review process.
- Calling. After you file the response letter on EDGAR, consider calling the Staff to confirm receipt. You also may offer the Staff courtesy redlined copies of any amended filing. (This is usually done in the ’33 Act context, but less so in 10-K reviews.) In the ’33 Act context, a call to the Staff is also helpful in order to convey the proposed deal timeline. This helps the Staff allocate resources and can sometimes speed up the review cycle to help accommodate deal events, such as kicking off the roadshow.
- Appeals. Although the vast majority of comments are resolved with the Staff directly responsible for issuing the comment letter, an impasse can occur. In this situation, an appeal to a Staff member higher within the organizational chain may be necessary. Before you appeal, however, make a good faith attempt to resolve the comment with the Staff listed on your comment letter (for either the legal or accounting track of comments), including the examiner and reviewer.
You may also require a call with higher level Staff (such as the Assistant Director) if a speedy resolution of the comment is needed because an external event is rapidly approaching. For example, the roadshow, or a stockholder meeting in connection with a merger, has been scheduled. Sometimes the higher level Staff can help to prioritize internal workloads, enabling a quicker response time.

Jane (our neighbour who comes walking with me sometimes) and I went out to move some of the cattle around the middle of the farm, and were accompanied by Ms Duck (see last week for the start of this story). She watched us walk out across the paddock and then flew to just ahead of us and repeated her move several times as we went further out. We kept talking to her as we walked (as one does). She lost us when we were working with the cattle under some trees, but was there again when we came out onto the flat paddocks, and followed home again. She seems to be in need of company.
Here Ms Duck had taken a quick flight from her bath-side perch to the driveway where we were returning from a walk. (I'm hoping not to encourage her to follow across the road and up the hill, as that would take her to unsafe airspace.)
