[276 U.S. 311, 313] Messrs. Charles E. Hughes, of New York City, Conrad H. Syme, and Charles A. Doughlas, both of Washington, D. C., and Henry Veeder, and Charles J. Faulkner, Jr., both of Chicago, Ill., for Swift & Co. and others.
Mr. Edgar Watkins, of Atlanta, Ga., for American Wholesale Grocers' Ass'n.
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case presents the question whether the consent decree entered February 27, 1920, with a view to prevent- [276 U.S. 311, 319] ing a long-feared monopoly in meat and other food products, is void. 1
On that day the United States filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, sitting in equity, a petition under section 4 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, July 2, 1890, c. 647, 26 Stat. 209 (15 USCA 4), to enjoin violations of that statute and of the Clayton Act, October 15, 1914, c. 323, 38 Stat. 730, 736. It named as defendants the five leading packers; namely, Swift & Co., Armour & Co., Morris & Co., Wilson & Co., Inc., and the Cudahy Packing Company. And it joined with them 80 other corporations and 50 individuals, all but four of whom were associated with some one of the five defendants above named. The petition charged the defendants with attempting to monopolize a large proportion of the food supply of the nation and with attempting to extend the monopoly by methods set forth. It stated that the purpose of the suit was to put an end to the monopoly described and to deprive the defendants of the instrumentalities by which they were perfecting their attempts to monopolize. It sought a comprehensive injunction and also the divestiture of the instrumentalities described. [276 U.S. 311, 320] Simultaneously with the filing of the petition, all the defendants filed answers which denied material allegations of the bill. There was filed at the same time a stipulation, signed by all the parties to the suit, which provided that the court might, without finding any fact, enter the proposed decree therein set forth. On the same day a decree in the form so agreed upon was entered. To this decree all parties filed assents. In its opening paragraph, the decree embodied a clause of the stipulation to the effect that, while the several corporations and individual defendants 'maintain the truth of their answers and assert their innocence of any violation of law in fact or intent, they nevertheless, desiring to avoid every appearance of placing themselves in a position of antagonism to the government, have consented and do consent to the making and entry of the decree now about to be entered without any findings of fact, upon condition that their consents to the entry of said decree shall not constitute or be considered an admission, and the rendition or entry of said decree, or the decree itself, shall not constitute or be considered and adjudication that the defendants or any of them have in fact violated any law of the United States.'
The decree declared, among other things, that the court had jurisdiction of the persons and the subject-matter, and 'that the allegations of the petitioner state a cause of action against the defendants under the provisions' of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and supplementary legislation. It granted comprehensive relief in accordance with the prayer of the bill. The details will be discussed later. The decree closed with this provision:
None of the original parties to the suit made any application to the court between the date of the entry of the consent decree and November 5, 1924; but three intervening petitions were filed-that of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association, allowed September 10, 1921, that of the National Wholesale Grocers' Association, allowed November 5, 1921, and that of the California Co-operative Canneries, allowed September 13, 1924. See California Co-op. Canneries v. United States, 55 App. D. C. 36, 299 F. 908. On November 5, 1924, two motions to vacate the decree were filed in the cause. One was by Swift & Co. and the subsidiary corporations and individual defendants associated with it; the other by Armour & Co. and the subsidiary corporations and individual defendants associated with it. The allegations of the two motions were identical; and each prayed that the consent decree be declared void. The grounds of invalidity relied upon will be stated later. On May 1, 1925, the two motions to vacate the consent decree were overruled. From the order overruling them, Swift & Co. and Armour & Co., with their respective associates, took appeals to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia.
On May 28, 1926, the United States filed in that court a motion to dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction, contending that an appeal lay only directly to this court. On January 3, 1927, the Court of Appeals of the District entered an order dismissing the appeals. Promptly thereafter, Swift & Co., Armour & Co., and their respective associates, moved that court to stay the mandate and to transfer the appeals to this Court, pursuant to the Act of September 14, 1922, c. 305, 42 Stat. 837, incorporated in the Judicial Code as 238(a). On [276 U.S. 311, 322] January 31, 1927, the Court of Appeals vacated its opinion and order, and restored the case for reargument upon the question of its jurisdiction of the appeals and for argument on its jurisdiction to transfer the appeals to this court. Thereafter, having heard argument, the Court 13, 1925, c. 229, 43 Stat. 936. On October 17, court, under section 251 of the Judicial Code as existing prior to the Act of February 13, 1925, c. 229, 43 S. Stat. 936. On October 17, 1927, this court, having heard argument on the certificate, ordered that the entire record in the cause be sent here, as provided in the same section. On that record the case is before us. Many questions are presented.
An objection of the government to the jurisdiction of this court must first be considered. The Expediting Act of February 11, 1903, c. 544, 32 Stat. 823, U. S. C. tit. 15, 29 (15 USCA 29), provides that, from a final decree in a suit in equity brought by the government under the Anti- Trust Act, an appeal lies only directly to this court. The government suggests that under the Expediting Act no appeal lay to the Court of Appeal from the order denying the motion to vacate; that the Court of Appeals consequently was powerless to certify questions relating to the merits; that this court by ordering up the record, as provided in section 251 of the Judicial Code, did not acquire jurisdiction to decide questions which could not lawfully have been certified under that section; that the case may not be treated as here on transfer, because the Court of Appeals of the District is not a Circuit Court of Appeals within the meaning of the Act of 1922; and that this court is therefore without power to pass on the merits of the cause. Swift and Armour answer that the motions to vacate the consent decree are not subject to the provisions of the Expediting Act because they are not a part of the suit filed February 27, 1920, under the Anti-Trust Act, but constitute a new suit. Compare Stevirmac Oil [276 U.S. 311, 323] & Gas Co. v. Dittman, 245 U.S. 210 , 38 S. Ct. 116. The argument is that the original suit ended with the entry of the consent decree, or at all events, at the expiration of the term, or at the end of the 60 days from the entry of the decree allowed by the Expediting Act for an appeal. We need not inquire whether an independent suit to set aside a decree entered upon the Anti-Trust Act is subject to the provisions of the Expediting Act. The consent decree provided by paragraph eighteenth for 'entertaining at any time hereafter any application which the parties may make with respect to this decree.' Swift and Armour made these motions to vacate in the original suit; they arose out of the three proceedings for intervention filed after entry of the consent decree, and they were entitled in the original cause.
The court of Appeals of the District was therefore without jurisdiction to entertain the appeals. We think, however, that it was a Circuit Court of Appeals within the meaning of the Transfer Act; and, as the judgment appealed from was entered before the effective date of the Act of February 13, 1925, the appeals should have been transferred to this Court. Compare Pascagoula National Bank v. Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, 269 U.S. 537 , 46 S. Ct. 119; Salinger v. United States, 272 U.S. 542, 549 , 47 S. Ct. 173; Rossi v. United States, 273 U.S. 636 , 47 S. Ct. 90; Timken Roller Bearing Co. v. Pennsylvania R. R. Co., 274 U.S. 181, 186 , 47 S. Ct. 550. The want of a formal order of transfer would not have been fatal to our taking jurisdiction of the whole case, had it come before us on writ of error or appeal. Wagner Electric Manufacturing Co. v. Lyndon, 262 U.S. 226, 231 , 43 S. Ct. 589; Waggoner Estate v. Wichita County, 273 U.S. 113, 116 , 47 S. Ct. 271. It is no more so now, when we have required the record to be sent up to us. We treat the case as here.
The decree sought to be vacated was entered with the defendants' consent. Under the English practice a consent decree could not be set aside by appeal or bill of [276 U.S. 311, 324] review, except in case of clerical error. Webb v. Webb, 3 Swanst. 658; Bradish v. Gee, 1 Amb. 229; Daniell, Chancery Practice (6th Am. Ed.) 973- 974. In this Court a somewhat more liberal rule has prevailed. Decrees entered by consent have been reviewed upon appeal or bill of review where there was a claim of lack of actual consent to the decree as entered ( Pacific R. R. Co. v. Ketchum, 101 U.S. 289 , 295; White v. Joyce, 158 U.S. 128, 147 , 15 S. Ct. 788); or of fraud in its procurement (Thompson v. Maxwell Land Grant Co., 168 U.S. 451 , 18 S. Ct. 121); or that there was lack of federal jurisdiction because of the citizenship of the parties. (Pacific R. R. Co. v. Ketchum, supra). Compare Fraenkl v. Cerecedo, 216 U.S. 295 , 30 S. Ct. 322. But 'a decree, which appears by the record to have been rendered by consent is always affirmed, without considering the merits of the cause.' Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Ry. Co. v. United States, 113 U.S. 261, 266 , 5 S. Ct. 460. Compare United States v. Babbitt, 104 U.S. 767 ; McGowan v. Parish, 237 U.S. 285, 295 , 35 S. Ct. 543. Where, as here, the attack is not by appeal or by bill of review, but by a motion to vacate, filed more than four years after the entry of the decree, the scope of the inquiry may be even narrower. Compare Kennedy v. Georgia Bank, 8 How. 586, 611, 612. It is not suggested by Swift and Armour that the decree is subject to infirmity because of any lack of formal consent, or fraud, or mistake. But eight reasons are relied on as showing that, in whole or in part, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the court.
First. At the time the questions were certified, there was a contention that the Supreme Court of the District lacked jurisdiction of the Subject-matter, because it is not a District Court of the United States within the meaning of the Anti-Trust Act. After entry of the case in this court, that contention was disposed of by Federal Trade Commission v. Klesner, 274 U.S. 145 , 47 S. Ct. 557. Now, it is conceded that the Supreme Court of the District has power [276 U.S. 311, 325] to administer relief under the Anti-Trust Act; but the claim is made that in this proceeding it was without jurisdiction, because the petition was addressed to the 'Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, sitting in equity,' instead of to the special term of that court 'as the District Court of the United States.' The argument has compelled inquiry into legislation affecting the courts of the District, enacted from time to time during a long period. It would not be profitable to discuss the details of the legislation. We are of opinion that this suit under section 4 of the Anti-Trust Act (15 USCA 4), which could only have been brought in a court of equity, was properly brought in the Supreme Court of the District, sitting in equity. This conclusion has support in established practice in analogous cases. 2
Second. It is contended that the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction because there was no case or controversy within the meaning of section 2 of article 3 of the Constitution. Compare Lord v. Veazie, 8 How. 251; Little v. Bowers, 134 U.S. 547 , 10 S. Ct. 620; South Spring Hill Gold Mining Co. [276 U.S. 311, 326] v. Amador Medean Gold Mining Co., 145 U.S. 300 , 12 S. Ct. 921; California v. San Pablo & Tulare R. R. Co., 149 U.S. 308 , 13 S. Ct. 876. The defendants concede that there was a case at the time when the government filed its petition and the defendants their answers; but they insist that the controversy had ceased before the decree was entered. The argument is that, as the government made no proof of facts to overcome the denials of the answers, and stipulated both that there need be no findings of fact and that the decree should not constitute or be considered an adjudication of guilt, it thereby abandoned all charges that the defendants had violated the law; and hence the decree was a nullity. The argument ignores the fact that a suit for an injunction deals primarily, not with past violations, but with threatened future ones; and that an injunction may issue to prevent future wrong, although no right has yet been violated. Vicksburg Waterworks Co. v. Vicksburg, 185 U.S. 65, 82 , 22 S. Ct. 585; Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510, 536 , 45 S. Ct. 571, 39 A. L. R. 468. Moreover, the objection is one which is not open on a motion to vacate. The court had jurisdiction both of the general subject-matter-enforcement of the Anti-Trust Act-and of the parties. If it erred in deciding that there was a case or controversy, the error is one which could have been corrected only by an appeal or by a bill of review. Compare Pacific R. R. Co. v. Ketchum, 101 U.S. 289 , 297. On a motion to vacate, the determination by the Supreme Court of the District that a case or controversy existed is not open to attack. Compare Cameron v. M'Roberts, 3 Wheat. 591; McCormick v. Sullivant, 10 Wheat. 192, 199; Kennedy v. Georgia Bank, 8 How. 586, 611, 612; Des Moines Navigation Co. v. Iowa Homestead Co., 123 U.S. 552, 557 , 8 S. Ct. 217; Dowell v. Applegate, 152 U.S. 327 , 14 S. Ct. 611; Cutler v. Huston, 158 U.S. 423, 430 , 15 S. Ct. 868; New Orleans v. Fisher, 180 U.S. 185, 196 , 21 S. Ct. 347; Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. Co. v. McCabe, 213 U.S. 207 , 29 S. Ct. 430.
[276 U.S. 311, 327] Third. It is contended that the consent decree was without jurisdiction because it was entered without the support of facts. The argument is that jurisdiction under the Anti-Trust Acts cannot be conferred by consent; that jurisdiction can exist only if the transactions complained of are in fact violations of the act; that merely to allege facts showing violation of the anti-trust laws is not sufficient; that the facts must also be established according to the regular course of chancery procedure; that this requires either admission or proof; and that here there was no admission but, on the contrary, a denial of the allegations of the bill, and a recital in the decree that the defendants maintain the truth of their answers, assert their innocence, and consent to the entry of the decree without any finding of fact, only upon condition that their consent shall not constitute or be considered an admission. The argument ignores both the nature of injunctions, already discussed, and the legal implications of a consent decree. The allegations of the bill not specifically denied may have afforded ample basis for a decree limited to future acts. Deputron v. Young, 134 U.S. 241, 250 , 251 S., 10 S. Ct. 539. If the court erred in finding in these allegations a basis for fear of future wrong sufficient to warrant an injunction, its error was of a character ordinarily remediable on appeal. Such an error is waived by the consent to the decree. United States v. Babbitt, 104 U.S. 767 ; McGowan v. Parish, 237 U.S. 285, 295 , 35 S. Ct. 543. Clearly it does not go to the power of the court to adjudicate between the parties. Voorhees v. Bank of the United States, 10 Pet. 449; Cooper v. Reynolds, 10 Wall. 308; Christianson v. King County, 239 U.S. 356, 372 , 36 S. Ct. 114.
Fourth. It is contended that, even if the decree is not void as a whole, parts of it must be set aside as being in excess of the court's jurisdiction. This is urged in respect to the first and the ninth paragraphs, which are said to [276 U.S. 311, 328] be too vague and general. The first enjoins the corporation defendants from 'in any manner maintaining or entering into any contract, combination, or conspiracy ... in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states, or from ... monopolizing or attempting to monopolize ... any part of such trade or commerce.' The ninth enjoins the corporation defendants from 'using any illegal trade practices of any nature whatsoever in relation to the conduct of any business in which they or any of them may be engaged.' It is insisted that, as a court's power is limited to restraining acts which violate or tend to violate laws, the acts to be enjoined must be set forth definitely; and that these paragraphs are so general in terms as to make the defendants liable to proceedings for contempt if they commit any breach of the law. The paragraphs, if standing alone, might be open on appeal to the objection that they are too general to be sanctioned. Compare Swift & Co. v. United States, 196 U.S. 375, 396 , 401 S., 25 S. Ct. 276. But they do not stand alone. They are to be read in connection with other paragraphs of the decree and with the allegations of the bill. Barnes v. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. Co., 122 U.S. 1, 14 , 7 S. Ct. 1043; City of Vicksburg v. Henson, 231 U.S. 259, 269 , 34 S. Ct. 95. When so read, any uncertainties are removed. Moreover, the defendants by their consent lost the opportunity of raising the question on appeal. Obviously the generality of a court's decree does not render it subject to a motion to vacate.
Fifth. It is contended that paragraphs second to eighth of the decree are void because of their comprehensiveness. These paragraphs enjoin the defendants from holding directly or indirectly (without the consent of the court) any interest in any public stockyard, or any stockyard terminal railroad, or any stockyard market journal published in the United States, and enjoin the defendants, except as there provided, from engaging or being interested in [276 U.S. 311, 329] the business of manufacturing, buying, selling, or handling any one of 114 enumerated food products or any one of 30 other named articles of commerce; from selling meat at retail; from selling milk or cream; from holding any interest in any public cold storage plant; from using their distributive systems (including branch houses, refrigerator cars, route cars, and autotrucks) in any manner for the purpose of handling any of the many articles above referred to; and from having more than a half interest in or control of any business engaged in manufacturing, jobbing, selling, transporting, or delivering any one of most of the articles above referred to.
The argument is that the power to issue an injunction is limited by the scope of the transactions prohibited by sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Anti-Trust Act (15 USCA 1-3); that the defendants are here enjoined, not only from remaining in these lawful businesses named, but also from ever re-entering them; that none of these 'unrelated' lines of business are unlawful in themselves; that none can be restrained unless, by a finding of the essential facts, the connection with the conspiracy is established; that no such facts have been found; that the parties cannot by consent confer jurisdiction to issue an injunction broader than the facts warrant; and that an injunction so broad as that entered involves usurpation by the judicial branch of the government of the function of Congress. Compare United States v. New York Coffee & Sugar Exchange, 263 U.S. 611, 621 , 44 S. Ct. 225. Here again, the defendants ignore the fact that by consenting to the entry of the decree, 'without any findings of fact,' they left to the court the power to construe the pleadings, and, in so doing, to find in them the existence of circumstances of danger which justified compelling the defendants to abandon all participation in these businesses, to divest themselves of their interest therein, and to abstain from acquiring any interest hereafter.
[276 U.S. 311, 330] Sixth. The defendants make a further contention concerning paragraphs second to eighth, which differs little from that just answered. It is urged that the decree is void, because it obliges the defendants to abandon completely certain business which are inherently lawful and forbids them from entering into other businesses which may be lawfully conducted; and that to do this is not merely unauthorized by, but is contrary to, the common law and the Anti-Trust Act. Compare Nordenfelt v. Maxim Nordenfelt Co. (1897) A. C. 535; United States v. Addyston Pipe & Steel Co. (C. C. A.) 85 F. 271, 46 L. R. A. 122. But the court had jurisdiction of the subject-matter and of the parties. And even gross error in the decree would not render it void. Compare Ex parte Watkins, 3 Pet. 193; Ex parte Parks, 93 U.S. 18 ; Ex parte Parks, 93 U.S. 18 ; In re Coy, 127 U.S. 731, 756 , 8 S. Ct. 1263.
Seventh. It is contended that the decree is void because the injunction is not limited to acts in interstate commerce. This objection is in essence like the two preceding ones. The argument is that each of the businesses named in paragraphs second to eighth is susceptible of being carried on in intrastate commerce alone; that some of these businesses, for instance retail meat markets, are distinctly intrastate in character; that there was no finding of an interweaving of intrastate and interstate transactions as in United States v. New York Central R. R. Co., 272 U.S. 457, 464 , 47 S. Ct. 130, or that the intrastate transactions had any relation to interstate operations, as in Swift & Co. v. United States, 196 U.S. 375, 397 , 25 S. Ct. 276, and Stafford v. Wallace, 258 U.S. 495 , 42 S. Ct. 397, 23 A. L. R. 229; and that, therefore, the prohibition of intrastate transactions was an overstepping of federal powers which renders the decree a nullity. Again, the argument fails to distinguish an error in decision from the want of power to decide. The allegations of a conspiracy to obstruct interstate commerce brought the case within [276 U.S. 311, 331] the jurisdiction of the court. The Fair v. Kohler Die Co., 228 U.S. 22 , 33 S. Ct. 410; Binderup v. Pathe Exchange, 263 U.S. 291, 304 , 44 S. Ct. 96; Moore v. New York Cotton Exchange, 270 U.S. 593, 608 , 46 S. Ct. 367, 45 A. L. R. 1370. Compare Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Ry. Co. v. Schendel, 270 U.S. 611 , 616-617, 46 S. Ct. 420. If the court, in addition to enjoining acts that were admittedly interstate, enjoined some that were wholly intrastate and in no way related to the conspiracy to obstruct interstate commerce, it erred; and, had the defendants not waived such error by their consent, they might have had it corrected on appeal. But the error, if any, does not go to the jurisdiction of the court. The power to enjoin includes the power to enjoin too much. Compare Fauntleroy v. Lum, 210 U.S. 230 , 28 S. Ct. 641
Eighth. Finally, it is urged that the decree is void, because the Attorney General had no power to agree to its entry. Compare Kelley v. Milan, 127 U.S. 139, 159 , 8 S. Ct. 1101. The argument is that the utmost limit of his authority was to agree to a decree which would prohibit the defendants from doing specific acts which constitute contracting, combining, conspiring, or monopolizing in violating of the anti-trust law; that he was without authority to enter into a contract by which citizens of the United States were prohibited absolutely and forever from engaging in the lawful business of conducting stockyards, storage warehouses, or the manufacture and distribution of many named food and other products, and by which many corporations and individuals would be forever taken out of the field of competition with others engaged in the same lines of business. Whether it would follow that the defendants are entitled to have the decree vacated because of such lack of authority, we need not decide. For we do not find in the statutes defining the powers and duties of the Attorney General any such limitation on the exercise of his discretion as this contention involves. His [276 U.S. 311, 332] authority to make determinations includes the power to make erroneous decisions as well as correct ones. Compare United States v. San Jacinto Tin Co., 125 U.S. 273 , 278-280, 8 S. Ct. 850; Noble v. Union River Logging R. R. Co., 147 U.S. 165 , 13 S. Ct. 271; Kern River Co. v. United States, 257 U.S. 147, 155 , 42 S. Ct. 60; Ponzi v. Fessenden, 258 U.S. 254, 262 , 42 S. Ct. 309, 22 A. L. R. 879.
Mr. Justice SUTHERLAND and Mr. Justice STONE took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

[ Footnote 2 ] Suits in equity under Revised Statutes, 4921 (35 USCA 70; Comp. St. 9467), to enjoin patent infringements, like suits in equity under the Anti- Trust Acts, are entertained by the Supreme Court of the District solely by virtue of its general powers as a District Court of the United States. Revised Statutes, 629(9) being 28 USCA 41(7); Act of March 3, 1911, c. 231, 36 Stat. 1087, 1167. These are commonly brought, as was the case at bar, in the equity term. See the original papers in Krupp v. Crozier, 32 App. D. C. 1, 15 Ann. Cas. 1108; Boynton v. Taggart, 40 App. D. C. 82; Tabulating Machine Co. v. Durand, 38 Wash. L. R. 552; Comptograph Co. v. Adder Machine Co., 41 App. D. C. 427; Hutchison Vapor Heating Corporation v. Mount, 48 App. D. C. 388. In United States v. Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Co., 26 App. D. C. 581, it was held that a suit to collect penalties for violation of the Safety Appliance Act might be brought in the circuit term of the Supreme Court of the District, though the act provided for the bringing of suits 'in the District Court of the United States having jurisdiction in the locality where such violation shall have been committed.'

A number of studies demonstrate Māori receive a poorer standard of healthcare than Pākehā and other non-Māori in New Zealand. Implicit bias on the part of healthcare providers has been cited as a key contributor to health inequities internationally; however, the concept has not yet been explored in relation to Māori health. This paper addresses that research gap and describes a theoretical basis for further research on the role of bias for Māori health outcomes. Drawing from empirical research and theories formulated in social psychology, the paper considers the relevance of implicit bias, stereotyping and stereotype threat for Māori health outcomes. These have not been integrated and applied to the problem of Māori health inequities per se; however, it is proposed that they provide a useful conceptual lens for understanding how interpersonal dynamics between Māori and Pākehā help perpetuate health disparities. Suggestions for further research are also made. | <urn:uuid:bd8f4f87-6c1c-4465-9639-2408e69ee193> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://journal.mai.ac.nz/content/what-you-cant-see-can-hurt-you-how-do-stereotyping-implicit-bias-and-stereotype-threat | 2017-10-23T02:23:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825510.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023020721-20171023040721-00293.warc.gz | en | 0.958307 | 189 |
Think about it, is better than the hard step of adjusting market is now not occur within 5 years with more mature bitcoin and a significant weight in the global economy.
I also remember that the number of robberies and amount in credit cards is much higher than the bitcoin lived in , and still is naturally recognized , does not appear in the press , everyone knows , insurance companies are paying and continue turning the wheel because the benefit outweighs it .
Companies bitcoin will be much stronger , secure and transparent than other companies .
Welcome to the future again and enjoy the free market where doeth evil will disappear, and that doeth good, the market will take .
For this and more things, the bitcoin will go up before clearing the Gox unknown.
Let me add some trading experience I have, that I have always lived major climbs, the market was in difficult times , nothing clear , where it seemed that problems everywhere. Unfortunately it is not easy to earn money and bag either. If you expect to keep things clear , unobstructed to buy , you're late , it's time to sell.

Bethany Home Celebrating 75-Year Mark
This year marks the 75th since members of the Evangelical Covenant Church denomination dedicated Bethany Home to service. Since then, the boarding home at 9111 E. Upriver Drive has become a Valley landmark.
“Some people who grew up in this area move away, but remember it. When a time comes in their life that they need a place like this, they come here,” said Sylvia Smith, administrator of the facility.
On Sunday, residents and staff will celebrate Bethany’s 75 years of service with an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. The general public is invited. At 2:30, there will be a commemorative ceremony. Music will be provided by members of Spokane’s Covenant churches, and refreshments will be provided.
“We’re just inviting people to tour, look and remember,” Smith said.
To that end, Smith dug up all the photos she could from years past. Those will be passed around at the 2:30 ceremony.
There’s a lot of history to go over, too. Bethany Home opened its doors when the Valley was undoubtedly a rural area. It once maintained what was practically its own farm - cows and chickens were raised there to provide milk, butter and eggs for residents.
“Those people were of the doyour-own-work ethic,” Smith said of the pioneers that made up the first generation of Bethany staff and residents.
Some residents still help grow vegetables. Bethany is a place where being active is encouraged. It’s a not nursing home. Smith said it’s labeled as a congregate care facility by the state, meaning that there is always assistance available to residents who need help sticking to special diets or remembering medicine. There isn’t, however, a hospital-like atmosphere.
For more information on the Bethany Home anniversary, call 924-0580.
Redeemer schedule change
If you head off Sunday to catch Redeemer Lutheran Church’s latemorning church service, you’ll find yourself all alone.
That’s because the church, 3606 S. Schafer Road, has a new summer schedule. Redeemer’s 10:45 a.m. services have been canceled until September.
Morning worship will now be held at 8 and 9:30 a.m.
Don’t drop off the tykes for Sunday school, either. Adult and children’s Bible classes have been canceled until fall as well. | <urn:uuid:01319ad6-3be1-4092-afd6-41791fc5689a> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1995/jul/15/bethany-home-celebrating-75-year-mark/ | 2014-12-22T00:10:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802772757.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075252-00081-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952328 | 541 |

Tips for Driving During Motorcycle Season
Winter is finally over. The sun is getting hotter, the birds are chirping, and kids all over have one thing on their minds – summer break. For motorcyclists, the end of winter has an entirely new meaning, however. Just as kids are excited to dust off their pool floaties, motorcyclists are dying to dust off their bikes.
As the seasons change and the hum of school buses is replaced by the grumble of motorcycles, it’s important for drivers to recognize the added dangers of motorcycle season. Motorcyclists are much more vulnerable to the elements and road conditions than a passenger vehicle and face a greater likelihood of suffering serious injury or fatality in the event of an accident.
To keep your family and others safe on the road safe during motorcycle season, it’s important to follow the following safety guidelines:
Don’t Drive Impaired
Driving while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol is the first rule of operating any vehicle regardless of the season. Not only are you putting yourself at risk, but you are also jeopardizing the lives of other drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
One of the most straightforward things you can do while driving is to maintain a safe distance behind the vehicles and motorcycles in front of you – it can save lives. To ensure that a safe distance is being maintained, honor the four-second rule.
Check Blind Spots
Motorcycles are much smaller than cars, making them very easy to miss when checking your blind spots. It’s important to make sure that your mirrors are properly adjusted and that you always check your blind spots to prevent an accidental run-in – especially before changing lanes.
Put the Phone Away
Cell phone use while driving is everywhere you look – literally – look at the cars next door to you at the next stoplight. Do not be a part of the problem, especially during motorcycle season. If you cannot resist picking up your phone while driving, simply turn it off or put it away from arm’s reach.
Be Aware of the Volume
There’s nothing like rolling the windows down and cranking the tunes up, however, one of the easiest ways to tell if a motorcycle is nearby is by using your ears. When driving with the volume up, it makes it much harder to hear what’s going on around you, therefore, drastically increases the chances of approaching motorcycles going unnoticed.
Do Your Part
If you have a driver’s license or permit, it’s important that you do your part while on the road. Winter driving can be dangerous, but warm weather driving comes with its own set of risks including motorcyclists.
In addition to driving defensively and following best practices when on the road, it’s critical that your vehicle is insured. Not only is it the law, but insurance coverage protects you and the other party in the event of an accident.

It has been my lifelong dream to go to Fashion Week in New York City….
And now the time is upon us…finally. The time that I can strut my stuff with my press pass and be among the Creme de la Creme.
But there’s one problem, I’m fighting a cold, and mother nature is showing us her wrath with bitter cold temperatures, ice, snow and gloomy weather.
I know, I know, I know, Fashion Week is like the Super bowl to us Fashionistas…but when the body says no kid your sick, at least I can depend on good old technology to see me through. You can watch a stream of the Mercedes Benz fashion shows here—-> http://mbfashionweek.com/new-york/schedule | <urn:uuid:d1f15ae6-c355-49ab-bd1b-0fdd5497cb45> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.nerisaeugeniawaterman.com/fashion-week-blues/ | 2020-09-26T02:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400232211.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926004805-20200926034805-00501.warc.gz | en | 0.890272 | 163 |
There's something in all of us that delights in seeing the mighty laid low. And what better to ramp up the joke than having the prey look like peacocks ready for the slingshot?
That's what the Gulfshore Playhouse has done with its production of "Tartuffe" at the Norris Center, fast-fowarding the 1664 farce to outfit the cast in 18th-century French Rococo. Clothes make the man, or in this case, the mark, and the entire cast in the play is a confection of excess.
There are nesting birds in powdered white hair; boned corsets; brocade frock coats, square-toed men's Cuban heels in colors a Las Vegas alligator would love. Elmire, the trophy wife in the household, actually has her timepiece sewn to a decorative waist flourish.
Much of the costuming, like the frock coats and bustled gowns, are rented. But costumer Jackie Bouchér Morelisse had to add all the finishes and outfit the Grandmama, who — in a twist that pairs economy with deja vu — is played by the Tartuffe star, Richard Crawford. Director Kristen Coury , in a move to keep the play economical, pared the 12-member cast to eight, with several dual roles.
That has made measurements quicker for Morelisse, but not much else.
"I have been working on this show for months and months," she said. "Renting is not easier. You still have to work with companies to get the right look and the fittings and the sizes. If they don't fit, you have to make temporary alterations. Those all have to be done by hand."
Still , she was delighted with what she was seeing. "The costumes are extremely good quality. They're like museum pieces. And there are a few other pieces — the cape — I had already built."
Morelisse has worked with Naples Players, creating costumes for Kidzact productions such as "Peter Pan" and recently, painiing all the artwork for its "Moon over the Brewery" set. "Tartuffe" will also have Morelisse paintngs on its walls. As costume designer for Gulfshore 3½ years, Morelisse describes herself as a costume junkie with an extensive home collection. If she can't find it, she can usually create it.
"The most fun was making all the jewelry, all the accessories," she said. ‘I made them all myself, and I made them from jewelry pieces I had, from scraps of lace I had. I put different little flowers and feathers I had into broaches, and beads."
Because of its detailed clothing, the cast was outfitted nearly three weeks before its opening Thursday. On March 16, Morelisse was sequestered in a Norris Center dressing room assembling the initial fittings. Players ambled in as actors and emerged as characters. Hangers were balanced on the edge of the mirror over a table lumped with stretchy black breeches, all waiting for wearers.
"Those pants fit you perfectly, huh?" she queried Val Kaffel, who was about to time-travel to the 18th century with the addition of his coat.
"Fine!" he squeaked back, teasing her. Kaffel, a veteran of Naples Players, the departed Naples Dinner Theatre and Stage 88, was being outfitted twice: He plays the bailiff, Monsieur Loyal, and a king's officer.
Miami-based Amy McKenna, sashaying around in Elmire's peach-and-silver print and powdered wig, sought out Morelisse, "No, earrings? Yes, earrings?" As one of the targets of the broadly lascivious Tartuffe, MkKenna was going to get up-ended in the play, and Coury wasn't missing a detail: "She needs prettier shoes," she noted to Morelisse.
McKenna, who said she found the costumes surpisingly wearable, was more concerned about keeping her dialogue natural. This production of "Tartuffe" uses the Richard Wilbur translation from the original French, and is written in rhyming couplets, just as Moliere did.
"You have to keep an eye out toward going to the end of the thought. And because they rhyme so well, sometimes the end of the thought is the rhyme," she observed. The upside: With couplets, the script was a snap to memorize, she said.
Coury is excited about the translation, which preserves the rapier wit that closed the play down nearly as soon as it opened under the angry responses of semi-clerical fraternities. The needling truth of the comedy, and its quicksand of arrogance and gullibility, are timeless. There have been frauds like Tartuffe in every age and every field and they are thriving today, she said: "I could have set this on Wall Street and substituted Bernie Madoff."

Think back twenty years and imagine that someone then had told you that developed Western democracies would spend the first decades of the twenty-first century introducing new blasphemy laws. "You mean 'repealing' surely?" your wise younger self would probably have said. And if you had been persuaded that, no, new blasphemy laws really were going to be brought into effect in the not-too-distant future, doubtless your follow-on question would have been, "So how did the Spanish inquisition manage to make such a comeback?"
The latest country to attempt – yet again – to impose new blasphemy laws in the twenty-first century is Canada. I say "yet again" because some readers will remember the disputes during the last decade when the journalists Mark Steyn, Ezra Levant and others were hauled before the farcical "Human Rights Commissions" of Canada and asked to explain why they had ever said anything that the state commissars did not agree with. Those Commissions soon became a focus of everybody around the world who cares about free speech. The site of a dreary bureaucrat asking journalists to explain why they had felt impelled to write something truly began to look like tragedy repeated not as farce but as mind-numbing proceduralism. | <urn:uuid:d76a8af5-f2ea-4ab3-974a-831645d649a0> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/articles/2015/canada-the-spanish-inquisition-makes-a-comeback | 2018-04-26T02:16:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948047.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180426012045-20180426032045-00097.warc.gz | en | 0.981863 | 254 |
Google Integrates Twitter Updates With Location Reviews
Google continues to update and improve its Hotpot offering and it almost feels like they are looking to do it under the radar. Of course, I have talked about how Google couldn’t market their way out of a wet paper bag (unless you live in Portland, OR) so why this is surprises me makes no sense.
At any rate Google has now integrated the ability to update your Twitter account when you review a location in Hotpot or Google Latitude on an Android device. The Google Hotpot blog (or LatLong blog or Mobile blog – talk about duplicate content!) reports
Whether it’s Google Places with Hotpot or Google Latitude, we’re working on helping you connect the people you care about with places you love. Now, when you’re rating your dinner spot using Google Maps for Android, you can share your review with even more people by posting it to Twitter.
When you rate and review places like restaurants or cafes from Google Places, you can share valuable recommendations with your Hotpot friends and across Google’s products – in search results, on google.com/hotpot, and on Place pages. But we wanted you to be able to share your recommendations even more broadly. So today, you can start sharing your ratings and reviews with your followers on Twitter directly from your Android-powered device.
This may fall into the category of “It’s about time” but Google has it’s own way of doing things and honestly, we mere mortals are not allowed to question it. Here is what a tweet will look like that tells everyone whether your experience is a winner or a loser.
One thing I do like about the Hotpot is the simple interface.
In addition, Google has made changes to its Latitude service by giving users the ability to ‘ping’ a friend to ask them to check in. So now you can give reviews for your friends and virtually pester them as well.
There are plusses and minuses to all of this isn’t there? | <urn:uuid:c55ae449-cd81-428e-83fa-3745928b006c> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2011/03/google-integrates-twitter-updates-with-location-reviews.html | 2016-02-11T02:27:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701160950.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193920-00232-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.931245 | 431 |
Seattle Comedy Lowdown
Minneapolis-born Evelyn Jensen is a woman of many talents: playwright, actor, writer, and comedian, she has been performing stand-up comedy in Seattle for five years. As she gets ready for famed Seattle festival Bumbershoot, we talk to her about her influences, her own unique brand of humor, and the best places to laugh in town.
How would you characterize your humor?
One time a fellow Seattle comic told me that I reminded her of a cartoon character and, since then, that’s what I’ve been trying to embody in my act. I watched a lot of old-school cartoons growing up, so I like experimenting with my voice and my movement on stage in silly ways. Having just a stage, mic, and audience to work with can be limitless; I have a lot of fun seeing how I can use nonverbal language and tones to enrich my material.
Are there any topics you won’t address in your act?
I don’t have a definitive list, but I definitely tend to write most of my material about my own experience. It’s what I know and stand-up to me is all about honesty. I’m also very into self-reflection, and the best material I’ve written so far has been all about the things that I’m ashamed of, self-conscious about, or feel vulnerable unearthing. It kind of hits two birds with one stone: I’m able to dissect these aspects of my personality and then trivialize and laugh about them with an audience, and on occasion that resonates with someone in the audience who’s struggling with the same thing.
Who’s your favorite comedian?
Beth Stelling is up there for sure; her set on The Stand-Ups on Netflix is honestly a perfect 30 in my eyes. I am also absolutely obsessed with Patti Harrison. She does a lot of videos for TruTV (including “Patti Rates Exotic Animals,” which I can never get enough of) and she’s absolutely absurd and dramatic. If you want a really good laugh, comb her Twitter feed for her bizarre tweets to airlines. One comic that I will always look to for comfort is Gary Gulman. When I’m struggling, I have a tendency to look at other local comics who are doing well and think if I should write material like them in order to get better. Gary Gulman’s bit on the documentary of how they abbreviated all the states is so unconventional to me, and the topic at face value is so boring, but he found a way to make it hilarious and perfect. It’s a steadfast reminder that I can, and should, write jokes however the hell I want and still get a room laughing.
What’s the biggest cliché about comedians that rings true?
That we’re insecure. Whenever I tell someone I do stand-up, the first thing they say is how much bravery that takes (which, by the way, isn’t really something we want to hear). But comics are at the mercy of the audience, and after enough lukewarm sets, it really gets in your head. You start analyzing every single word, you consider throwing away all your material and starting new, you wonder if you should just quit. But if balanced correctly, it’s an incredible way to keep yourself honest and keep yourself growing.
What’s the Seattle comedy scene like? Where should we watch comedy?
Folks in our scene have carved out so many spaces for themselves, and it’s really refreshing. Stand-up has historically been known as a medium where racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic material can flourish, because if anyone challenges it, the “iron-clad” retort is that “it’s just a joke!” What I love about the Seattle scene are the rooms where those voices that have been historically underrepresented can thrive. Comedy Nest is a weekly womxn-focused open mic; it’s a great way to get a taste of local Seattle comedy, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get up for the first time. QTPOC Is Not A Rapper is kind of like a sibling show to Comedy Nest; it’s a monthly curated open mic with some guest and feature spots, and spots are prioritized for queer, trans, and POC comics. Unladylike is a newer monthly showcase, which features five performers and “ten middle fingers at the whole concept of ‘acting like a lady.’” And if you ever get down into Tacoma, there’s a crew down there putting on amazing shows at Bob’s Java Jive and Alma Mater; just a couple weeks ago they had Midwestern hot-shot Jackie Kashian! Check ’em all out.
What’s on the horizon for the rest of 2019?
I’ll be refocusing some of my energy toward a few writing projects I’m working on with some local comics and friends. Two are episodic, and one is a screenplay, so keep your eyes peeled for that in the theaters in 2040. I’ve been working my comedic muscle almost entirely through stand-up for the last five years, and I’m really excited to delve into some other mediums. | <urn:uuid:18fbd91a-834e-4797-a117-dcd8265d2dab> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://blog.thompsonhotels.com/2019/08/thompson-influencers-x-evelyn-jensen/ | 2019-11-17T19:53:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669276.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117192728-20191117220728-00063.warc.gz | en | 0.956194 | 1,132 |
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office wants to pursue a new indictment against the two former New York Police officers accused of handcuffing and raping a teenager.
The New York Post reports that prosecutors are asking rand jurors to consider charging the former officers with bribery and official misconduct, not counting the forcible rape, sexual assault, and kidnapping charges.
A rape kit following the September 2017 incident proved that both disgraced ex-cops Eddie Martins and Richard Hall’s DNA was found in the then-18-year-old’s mouth and vagina. The men claimed it was consensual, meanwhile, the victim, Anna Chambers, says it was forced.
The Brooklyn DA’s office declined to comment, adding that grand jury proceedings are secret. | <urn:uuid:64150a20-b6d7-4ee5-990b-789bb0f45e9a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thesource.com/2019/02/28/former-nypd-officers-accused-of-raping-teen-may-avoid-charges/ | 2023-10-04T17:22:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511386.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004152134-20231004182134-00101.warc.gz | en | 0.959659 | 156 |
A Resilient Future: Investing today to safeguard tomorrow
The COVID-19 pandemic generated food system, health system, and economic shocks, which undermined people’s nutrition, particularly those already vulnerable to malnutrition. We know that for every percentage point reduction in global GDP, another 2,000 children worldwide become stunted every day, but the specifics of the COVID-19 pandemic were relatively unknown.
Inspired by the unprecedented collaboration of researchers working on COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, we joined with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to convene convene food security, nutrition, health, and economic experts from global as well as local and regional institutes in Low- and Middle- Income (LMIC) countries, to quantify the scale of the problems due to the pandemic.
The Standing Together for Nutrition Consortium (ST4N) is made up of global partners with expertise across health, economics, and implementation.
STfN is modeling the impact of the pandemic on all forms of malnutrition among populations and disaggregated by gender, income and other factors during the acute, recovery, and long-term phases of the pandemic; and generating recommendations to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on all forms of malnutrition. This unique consortium came together to cooperate and harmonize nutrition, health, social protection, and food systems data, models, and teams that, until now, have not been integrated. The quality of evidence that underpins those models and the robust development and validation of them varies – with the strongest track record for health-related interventions/ outcomes, and weakest evidence base on the supply side within the food system. | <urn:uuid:fce23e50-3fa4-4650-80e2-3db5f32c509b> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://micronutrientforum.org/initiatives/standing-together-for-nutrition/ | 2021-09-26T02:54:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057796.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210926022920-20210926052920-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.946151 | 341 |

22 Sep 3 exercises to improve the efficiency of your running
As it’s half marathon/marathon season we thought it would be useful for people to incorporate some running specific exercises within their training routines for improved running efficiency. So why is running efficiency important? Basically the more efficient you are whilst running, the less energy you will waste through poor technique, also more efficient runners tend to have less overuse/imbalance injuries. This means a faster more energy efficient runner that can regularly reach new PB’s, set new targets and ultimately have more fun.
Here are some running-specific exercises that you can incorporate into your training routine:
- Single leg Romanian deadlift
- Box step ups
- Wobble cushion single leg balance
Single leg Romanian Deadlift
This is a great exercise for strengthening your posterior chain (glute, hamstring, calf) which are the main muscles used during running. Its also great for improving your balance and core, which will strengthen your stability muscles. Add a weight for increased difficulty.
Box Step ups
Box step ups recruit the same muscles in a similar sequence to when you are running. It’s also great for engraining the same movement pattern, that will correspond to improved running-specific muscle activation. This in addition increases efficiency and reduces the likelihood of imbalance injuries occurring. Add a weight for increased difficulty.
Wobble cushion single leg balance
Balance is one of the most important abilities to have not just whilst running but in daily life. Unfortunately though it is also the most under-used training stimulus in the fitness industry. This single leg exercise is amazing for improving the stabilising muscles throughout the foot, ankle, shin, knee, hip & core. This is a key exercise we use for training our runners either to improve their endurance in the lower leg, or as a rehabilitation exercise to get people back on the road after a lower leg injury. Put your hands on your head or close your eyes for increased difficulty.
Try these 3 exercises and incorporate them into your training routine gradually, focusing on form and technique first, then slowly adding more complexity to the movement as you improve.
Good luck and keep enjoying your running!!
Until next time, | <urn:uuid:88884ac2-9a01-4cf6-a2f5-08096ee82bde> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://functionalfitness.me/3-exercises-improve-efficiency-running/ | 2018-03-21T06:55:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647584.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321063114-20180321083114-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.953622 | 449 |
Updated at 10:36 p.m. ET
BOSTON Two bombs exploded near the crowded finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 140 others in a terrifying scene of broken glass, smoke and severed limbs, authorities said.
CBS Boston station WBZ-TV reports one of the three who died from the attack was an 8-year-old boy.
Police reportedly set off at least one other explosive device with a water cannon. On Monday night, a federal law enforcement source told CBS News correspondent Bob Orr that an earlier report was incorrect that authorities had found one other device that was intact and had not been detonated. Orr reports that authorities are not in possession of such a device.
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports that a Saudi national is being questioned by authorities. He was seen "acting suspiciously" running from the explosion, and a civilian chased him down and tackled him. He was turned over to Boston police and is being questioned by the FBI. He is being cooperative and denies any involvement.
"This could mean a lot, or this could mean very little," Miller said. "It's too soon to call him a suspect."
Miller reported earlier that authorities are also reviewing surveillance video that shows a man from behind carrying two backpacks near the site of the explosions. Authorities are not sure whether the subject in the video is linked to the blasts.
Boston police say no suspect has been taken into custody.
There was no word on the motive or who may have launched the attack, and authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
An FBI official told CBS News that officials are going to sweep the entire length of the marathon to look for any additional devices or any evidence they may find.
A third incident at the John F. Kennedy Library a few miles away and more than an hour later was initially believed to be another explosive device, but library and police officials later said it was an unrelated fire. No one was injured.
The twin blasts at the race took place almost simultaneously and about 100 yards apart, tearing limbs off numerous people, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending smoke rising over the street.
Demi Clark, a runner from North Carolina who said she was the crossing finish line as the first blast went off,that "blood was everywhere instantly."
"Nobody knew what to do - after the second one went off we were like, 'the city's under attack,'" Clark said.
As people wailed in agony, bloody spectators were carried to a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.
"They just started bringing people in with no limbs," said Tim Davey, of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to keep their children's eyes shielded from the gruesome scene.
"They just kept filling up with more and more casualties," Lisa Davey said. "Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed."
President Obama said the United States does not know "who did this or why" but vowed that whoever is responsible "will feel the full weight of justice."
"We will find out who did this, and we will hold them accountable," Mr. Obama said.
At a Monday night news conference, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick told reporters that random checks of bags would be conducted on Boston's subway system, known locally at the T.
"The city of Boston will be open tomorrow, but it will not be business as usual," Patrick told reporters.
James Minicucci, who was arriving in Boston by car to meet friends at the finish line when the explosions happened,that the scene was "chaotic."
"Some guy told us it was really bad, that several people lost their legs, there were amputations and not to go through to finish line area," Minicucci said.
Some 27,000 runners took part in the 26.2-mile race, one of the world's premier marathons and one of Boston's biggest annual events. According to BuzzFeed, 17,584 finished before it was cancelled at 2:57p.m.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads checked parcels and bags left along the race route.
The Federal Aviation Administration barred low-flying aircraft from within 3.5 miles of the site.
"There are people who are really, really bloody," said Laura McLean, a runner from Toronto, who was in the medical tent being treated for dehydration when she was pulled out to make room for victims.
About two hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later.
Julia Morawoski, who was about 10 meters from the second explosion,that many spectators didn't panic until the second blast.
"We all started to push the barriers down to get onto the middle of the street," she said. "People were trying to get away from the buildings - they were scared a third one was going to come. And when I turned around I could just see bloody bodies on the street, right near where we were standing."
WBZ-TV reports one blast blew out the windows of a Marathon Sports store on Boylston Street.
The Boston Police Department said three people were killed. Hospitals reported at least 144 injured, at least 15 of them critically. Boston Children's Hospital told CBS News that they are treating 10 patients, including a 2-year-old-boy with a head injury and a 9-year-old girl with leg trauma.
Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Authorities went onto the course to carry away the injured while race stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site.
Roupen Bastajian, a 35-year-old state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when they put the heat blanket wrap on him and he heard the blasts.
"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."
Smoke rose from the blasts, fluttering through the national flags lining the route of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathon. TV helicopter footage showed blood staining the pavement in the popular shopping and tourist area known as the Back Bay.
Cherie Falgoust was waiting for her husband, who was running the race.
"I was expecting my husband any minute," she said. "I don't know what this building is ... it just blew. Just a big bomb, a loud boom, and then glass everywhere. Something hit my head. I don't know what it was. I just ducked."
Runners who had not finished the race were diverted straight down Commonwealth Avenue and into a family meeting area, according to an emergency plan that had been in place.
The Boston Marathon honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday's race.
Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio previously said there was "special significance" to the fact that the race is 26.2 miles long and 26 people died at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The race also observed a moment of silence that lasted 26 seconds before the blasts struck hours later. | <urn:uuid:2334b76f-9cd2-4bae-b525-f3baa54e30bb> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.cbsnews.com/news/deadly-bombs-rock-boston-marathon/ | 2016-09-28T22:27:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661768.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00260-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987209 | 1,572 |
KickStarter for Debian packages - crowdfunding/donations for development
I'd like to add a feature to apt that enables people to donate money or
crowdfund a particular project or developer. The inspiration for the
project comes from Gittip.
I've already contacted the APT project and they directed me here, as
they felt it needed to be discussed by the larger Debian community.
My name is Manu Sporny and I'm the current chair of the Web Payments
group at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). I'm also the project
leader for the PaySwarm project, which is an initiative to create a
universal payment standard for the Web. We're also currently working
with Mozilla to build payments into the browser. Each of these
initiatives is a patent-free and royalty-free open standard that we'd
like to try and apply to the Debian project.
The general idea with apt-based donations is to enable every package in
Debian to be able to accept funding and/or donations for the project.
Here are some of the ideas we were kicking around:
1. Simple donations. Donate a fixed dollar amount $1, $2.50,
$5, or $10 to a project. This could be opt-in or automatic.
2. Split donations. Donate a fixed dollar amount to a project,
where 50% of the donation goes to the project and 50% of the
donation is split equally among the project dependencies (by
reading the Debian control file).
3. Recurring donations. Same as the first item above, but
happens on a recurring basis.
4. Variable split donations. Same as the second item above, but
the percentages of where the money goes is specified by the
maintainer in the Debian control file or other included file.
5. The ability to donate arbitrary amounts to registered
Debian developers, or registered project goals.
We could add these features to a new command in apt that can be executed
via the command-line:
apt-donate [package] [amount]
A deeper discussion of the social concerns and solutions with
integrating donations and fundraising into Debian packages can be found
There is a series on PaySwarm for developers on the Mozilla Hacks blog,
if you want more background information on how PaySwarm works:
PaySwarm: Identity (part 1 of 3)
PaySwarm: Assets and Listings (part 2 of 3)
PaySwarm: Purchasing (part 3 of 3)
We'd tie donations to the Meritora PaySwarm payment processor. If
there is interest in adding this sort of feature in apt (or apt-utils),
then we'd be happy to do the work on the software and make it happen.
I'd like to understand what the expectations might be for a feature like
this. I'd also like to answer any questions about the Web Payments /
PaySwarm standardization work as well. If it would help, I can jump on a
quick voice chat with someone closely associated with the Debian Project
to discuss in more depth.
My contact info (in preferred order):
G+ Hangout: +Manu Sporny
Is there interest in this feature?

Man arrested after windows smashed at three Kitchener churches
Waterloo Regional Police headquarters is seen on Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012.
Published Monday, December 17, 2012 11:56AM EST
Three Kitchener churches had their windows broken over the weekend.
Police were first called to Central Baptist Church on Ottawa Street South early Sunday morning, where they found that multiple windows and an illuminated sign had been smashed.
A 39-year-old Kitchener man was arrested nearby, and charged with three counts of mischief and breaching probation.
After investigation, police believe the same man is responsible for damaging a sign at a nearby business.
Highland Baptist Church on Highland Road West and Country Hills Church at Ottawa Street South and Fischer Hallman Road also reported damage to several windows.
Police say they anticipate laying further charges.

What are the benefits of a Jock? should i get one for the gym?
what do you guys think?
It keeps everything in place while letting it breath.
Fit is a personal issue. The old school style doesn't pinch as much as the new style is; but your mileage may very.
Find a web site that has a good selection and buy a few that you think will fit right.
If you don't like them at all; well you will know then.
When I was in Jr. High, jocks were required for pe, same as in High School along with gang showers. It was what one wore all through school into college. I like the old school bikes in a 3" band or the 1" swimmer. They keep things tight and cool while working out or in the summer as underwear. BTW nothing beats two best buds rubbing jocks whilst kissing.
Ha-ha! I thought you were talking about "buying" a sporty-guy. That'll teach me to read categories first...
Jockstraps at International Jock Underwear & Swimwear .. This is a good place to start. Just consider that most of the jocks are fashion jocks, though, so read the descriptions.
Ditto on this. Old school Bike jocks, like many of us grew up with.
Sad thing is, the quintessential American sports gear--the Bike Athletic Supporter--is now made in China. I will say that the new Bikes--the ones with 2-inch bands ( I never really did understand why 3" was the norm for jock waistbands) are pretty cool.
Wear your new jockstrap proudly. Not enough guys jock up now and it's pretty sad. they don't know what they're missing.

Bravo on your pic, man. 2xist pouch briefs rule.
At all costs, avoid "Fashion jocks." They're too sissified. Get a plain old Bike or Duke jockstrap. period.
I agree with the other guys here, stick with a traditional/athletic jockstrap brand. Bike, McDavid, Duke, Under Armour, Adams are the brands you're likely to find at your local sporting goods store. Jocks tend to run a little small, so you'll probably want to buy 1 size up from the recommended size on the package. Also, avoid the Franklin jockstraps at Wal-Mart at all costs. Their pouch has no room for normal male anatomy.
Be sure to update us after you buy and wear your first jock. I'd love to hear your opinion/feedback.
ahh, so many to chose from! this is going to be difficult haaha i will keep you all posted and put up some pics when i get it
Ain't this the truth? Franklin Jocks were clearly designed by women or by Ken dolls.
I also dislike Underarmour jocks. To me, a pouch should "wrap" around your cock and balls, UA jocks don't do that. Go with Bike or McDavid.
Buy a traditional , athletic mesh pouch jock. As stated above Duke,Bike and simular kind. Wear it with pride, you will be well supported.
Anyone know where I might buy a Jock/Cup like this? | <urn:uuid:3fc52caf-7bff-47bf-83c9-8633d9252dfe> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.lpsg.com/threads/buying-a-jock.253970/ | 2018-02-21T13:21:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813622.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221123439-20180221143439-00166.warc.gz | en | 0.970591 | 744 |

Bed Bug Preparation Sheet Preparing For Your Bed Bug Treatment Proper preparation is an essential step for ensuring the most effective results from your upcoming bed bug treatment. American Pest will provide detailed instructions on what you need to do before your scheduled treatment in the following document. Preparation
Bed bug treatment - chemical vs non-chemical. A feeding female bed bug can lay up to 10 eggs per day! In total, your average bed bug will lay up to 600-700 eggs before dying. This is a serious threat and problem, as an infestation can turn out of control very quickly in your home or business. Below we have outlined a few IPM
Bed Bug Spray The use of bed bug spray is probably the easiest and the fastest solution to get rid of bed bugs. And given that those bugs breed and spread quick, the process sure offers the best way to minimize their effects. Nonetheless, this treatment is not a pick-and-spray method.
Bed Bug Treatment: What You Should Expect Dini M. Miller, Ph.D., Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech management company's bed bug treatment protocol. If any of the practices are missing from their protocol, ask them Heat to Kill Bed bugs and Non-Chemical Bed Bug Management.
Chemical treatments for bed bugs. In general, there are four types of chemicals that are used to exterminate bed bugs. Natural pyrethrins. Pyrethrins are made from chrysanthemum flowers, which are grown especially for their insecticidal properties.
To get rid of bed bugs, act at the first signs of infestation and use an integrated pest management approach involving prevention, sanitation, and chemical treatment. Bed bugs can be persistent, so you'll need to demonstrate a greater level of persistence if you want to eliminate them. | <urn:uuid:95104c25-7d2f-4bb2-8f56-2b141c737a64> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | http://alliedscenter.net/post/bed-bugs-treatment-chemical.html | 2019-12-06T13:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540488620.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191206122529-20191206150529-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.916722 | 366 |
Jeb Bush wants to get rid of tax credits for the oil and gas industry.
"I think we should phase out, through tax reform, the tax credits for wind, for solar, for the oil and gas sector, for all that stuff," the 2016 Republican candidate said in New Hampshire on Wednesday, according to a video recorded by grassroots environmental group 350 Action.
"I don't think we should pick winners and losers," Bush added, saying: "I think tax reform ought to be to lower the rate as far as you can and eliminate as many of these subsidies, all of the things that impede the ability for a dynamic way to get to where we need to get, which is low-cost energy that is respectful of the environment."
Bush's comments arrived in response to questions from a 350 Action activist after the 2016 Republican contender appeared at an event hosted by the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity in Manchester, New Hampshire.
When pressed by the activist on whether he would get rid of all fossil-fuel subsidies, Bush replied: "All of them. Wind, solar, all renewables, and oil and gas."
That stance is sure to ruffle feathers in the oil and gas industry, a sector that has long fought to maintain its current treatment under the tax code.
The call to end credits for fossil fuels may win the 2016 Republican contender measured praise from environmentalists who say that the oil and gas industry unfairly benefits from tax breaks that put clean energy at a competitive disadvantage. His call to end tax credits for wind and solar, however, won't sit well with green activists.
A Bush spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
Bush has previously called for a phase-out of the wind-production tax credit, a policy provision that has helped the U.S. wind industry get off the ground.
The 2016 Republican contender called for tax reform during an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader earlier this month, saying he would support "simplifying the code as dramatically as you can." | <urn:uuid:1083af41-ad2c-4403-ab51-ea715b96433a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/jeb-bush-calls-for-end-to-fossil-fuel-subsidies/444870/ | 2022-08-11T16:01:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00421.warc.gz | en | 0.978642 | 410 |
Cazanga Island, Angola
- Hotels & Hospitality
- Private Islands
- Seaside Locations
- Tropical Climate
We were appointed to undertake a landscape masterplan service for the development of a 500 hectare uninhabited island off the coast of Angola.
200 acres were to be retained as nature reserve containing extensive mangroves and grassland savannah. 300 acres were to be developed as an eco-resort, including two resort hotels, golf facilities, residential housing and associated retail and leisure facilities.
The development of the infrastructure required extensive consideration in order that the energy, water and waste could be accommodated in a sensitive and sustainable way. The first phase was to include a marina and a servicing compound in addition to a nursery requiring us to develop an advanced procurement strategy. We worked closely with the golf-course architect to develop a seawater-irrigated golf landscape complete with local, native species. | <urn:uuid:56142a0c-7942-49f6-adb7-d0ec81439e85> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://randlesiddeley.co.uk/cazanga-island-angola/ | 2018-06-18T07:22:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618070542-20180618090542-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.967024 | 189 |

Robin Thicke attempts to distance himself from the controversy surrounding his MTV Video Music Awards performance with Miley Cyrus on Sunday’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”
The flap, he tells her, “is funny to me … it’s silly” — but he also blames Cyrus for whatever stir has been created.
For those who’ve been blissfully unaware of the situation for the past month or so, Cyrus and Thicke raised eyebrows at the VMAs with their performance, which featured the former Disney princess performing some grind-heavy dancing against Thicke’s Man Zone.
Thicke attempts to exonerate himself during the sitdown, claiming that he was a semi-innocent bystander — or, as he puts it, the “twerkee,” referring to Cyrus’ gyrations.
“I’m singing my butt off, so I’m sitting there. I’m looking up at this guy, and I’m singing. I’m not really paying attention to all that. That’s on her,” Thicke tells Winfrey. “I’m like, people ask me, you know, do you twerk? I go, listen, I’m the twerkee. I’m twerked upon. I don’t twerk myself, OK? I’m just twerked upon.”
Here’s the pertinent excerpt from “Oprah’s Next Chapter” in the video.

New Delhi: Come October, superhit rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, popular for numbers like 'Blue Eyes' and 'Sunny Sunny', will set out on an eight-city tour in the country, as a part of LIVE Viacom18's new annual property MTV Super Stage.
Yo Yo Honey Singh
He will travel to Pune, Jaipur, Indore, Lucknow, Jalandhar, Gurgaon, Kolkata and Guwahati for the concert, the aim of which is to take one sensational or most talked about music artist closer to their fans in smaller cities, a source aware of the developments, told IANS.
The performer's latest album "Desi Kalakaar", the title video of which features actor Sonakshi Sinha, is already creating waves on the music charts. It will be interesting to see if he involves any Bollywood beauty to add the additional entertainment quotient to his live shows.
This is not Honey Singh's first collaboration with LIVE Viacom18, which conceptualises music and entertainment related properties. He had also put up a phenomenal performance at its flagship property, MTV Bollyland, a Bollywood and electronic dance music concert, last year. | <urn:uuid:374717cc-aca7-44cc-a4db-70fa8a713571> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.mid-day.com/articles/yo-yo-honey-singh-to-set-out-on-eight-city-tour/15575186 | 2017-09-21T02:36:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687592.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921011035-20170921031035-00688.warc.gz | en | 0.938839 | 250 |
Funeral services for Vernon Lee Coble, 59, Mountain View, Missouri, will be held at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, August 16, 2018 in the Rose Chapel at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
Mr. Coble passed away at 7:12 p.m., Sunday, August 12, 2018, at his sister’s home in Mountain Grove, Missouri.
He was born December 5, 1958, at West Plains, Missouri, to Hamey Vernon Coble and Ama Lou Mayfield Coble. On March 15, 2001, he was married at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Laura Coble. Mr. Coble worked as a truck driver and enjoyed fishing, hunting and spending time with his family. He was of the Baptist faith.
He is survived by his wife, Laura Coble; one daughter, Samantha Lynn Coble; three step-sons, David Cox, Matthew Cox and Joseph Crisci; one grandchild, Collin Imhoff; many step-grandchildren; his mother, Ama Coble; two brothers, James Coble and wife, Teresa and Ray Coble and wife, Jenny; and one sister, Freda Dennis and husband, Brian.
His father, one son, Vernon Shane Coble, one sister, Ruby Stuteville and one brother, Terry Coble, preceded him in death.
Visitation will be held from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home. Burial will be in the Dripping Springs Cemetery. | <urn:uuid:2e516d53-cc8f-48b6-befb-2a253984f966> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.robertsondrago.com/vernon-lee-coble/ | 2020-11-30T07:33:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141211510.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130065516-20201130095516-00538.warc.gz | en | 0.967054 | 322 |
The final leg onto the Alpe Cermis put a lot of strain on the athletes. The tour leader Justina Kowalczyk was challenged in the women’s race. In the hunting race, Marit Björgen caught up on her 13 seconds deficit and closed the gap on the Polish skier before the 3.5 km long final climb. Kowalczyk however proved invincible in the narrow turns and took home her third tour victory thanks to her strong forces. Third place went to Therese Johaug who won with the fastest running time.
The weather conditions for the races in Kitzbühel were not very pretty. There was a lot of snow and rain so that Friday’s Super G had to be cancelled. The hosts concentrated on the downhill. During the whole night, many hard-working helpers prepared the slope to get rid of the fresh snow on it.
After more snow and rain on Saturday morning, the start had to be moved down. The race was held despite the snowfall. The numerous spectators followed an exciting race. Due to the shortened distance, the time differences were only marginal.
The 3rd world cup in January brought the athletes to the Antholz valley in the beautiful South Tyrol. On the one hand, they always look forward to Antholz but on the other hand the height of 1600 m really gets to them. At their arrival on Monday, the athletes were greeted by fantastic winter weather. Sunshine and temperatures of minus 10°C let their athletic hearts beat faster.
In Otepää, the important Estonian centre for cross-country skiing, the first World Cup races were held after the Tour de Ski. The two Tour winners Justina Kowalczyk and Dario Cologna were able to keep their excellent form and won head and shoulders above the rest both the sprint and the races of 10 and 15 km respectively in the classic technique.
The women’s alpine skiing World Cup takes place in the Engadin this week, well-known for its cold and dry snow conditions. Despite light snowfall in the morning hours, the sun showed up for the race.
The skiers were able to have a very fair race in beautiful conditions and pleasant temperatures.
Sadly, there never is a great audience to watch women’s races. It becomes more and more difficult for the hosts to organize an event without a lot of income.
The Alpine skiing ladies started in Garmisch this weekend. In very good but freezing winter conditons, -20° C, very exciting races were carried out. The athletes had to tape their faces or ski with a mask on. With 120 km/h the temperatures feel colder still and this can easily amount to frostbite.
The choice of materials wasn’t easy for the service staff. The cold, aggressive snow and the partly icy slope made it difficult to find the right balance.
Last Monday, most teams arrived in Oslo after the one-week break. As temperatures are sinking in all of Europe, this also happened at Holmenkollen day after day. The national arena presented itself in best winter conditions.
At the sprint race on Thursday, the athletes’ faces could hardly be seen as they taped their faces against the cold. TOKO girl Magdalena Neuner/GER brought home her 30th world cup victory with 0 shooting errors and an impressive skiing performance. Daria Domracheva/BLR became 2nd and Tora Berger won 3rd place in her own country.
The trip to Sochi was a big challenge for all teams. Three planes were loaded with skis and bags in Zurich. After a turbulent flight, the journey to the skiing region Rosa Khutor continued by bus. The skiers were able to run three training tours on the technical and icy slope. Many athletes had big difficulties with the demanding slope.
All favorites for the Overall World Cup met at Nove Mesto na Morave in the Czech Republic. The leg is predestined for the classic technique. The race on its 15 km (women) and 30 km (men) distance was not just about the day victory but also about taking another step towards the Overall World Cup. Justina Kowalczyk’s performance was very strong and she already started with a high speed with which only the two Norwegians Marit Björgen and Therese Johaug could keep up. Johaug had to give in on the last kilometers so that only Björgen and Kowalczyk came into question for the victory. | <urn:uuid:99be3752-6be7-439b-8a7b-a843f5f6d73e> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.toko.ch/en/life/news/2012/hen/orld-cup-holmenkollen?page=5 | 2016-06-30T01:25:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783397865.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154957-00087-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975083 | 939 |

Well I don’t know what happened, but Day 2 disappeared for some reason, and I don’t really feel like recreating it. I really have no idea what happened to it. So to sum up, on Day 2 we drove around for a while and had 24 hour theatre.
Well not too much to talk about from Day 7. We just basically slept in, watched Jacqui’s niece and nephew for a little bit, then headed back to the ferry. However, we did ride a double decker bus back to the ferry
which was a lot of fun. It kind of felt like a ride. So then we got back on the ferry (again, insert fairy joke here).
After getting back we just hung out and relaxed (considering all the things we did while on the island, this sounded really nice). Watched the Oilers win game five, which was awesome. Watched a few episodes of the Office. Ate some pizza. Played Settlers of Cataan. I guess the same sort of stuff we would have done in Michigan, but much more West Coast-y.
By the way, Vancouver has got to take the prize for most coffeeshops per square mile. Lewis Black has the funny bit about a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks, but that’s like standard fair here. I’ve seen up to three Starbucks on one block. And that’s just Starbucks, there’s also Seattle’s Best, Bean Around the World, and lots of others too, all on the same block. It’s like churches in Grand Rapids. I would imagine Seattle is probably just as bad if not worse. I like coffee so I don’t really mind.

Toronto, Canada, July 2010: Sennheiser Canada, premier provider of aviation headsets as well as consumer and professional audio devices, is a proud supporter of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets and the Air Cadet League of Canada (ACLC).
The annual support that Sennheiser provides to the Air Cadets is threefold. First Sennheiser contributes an HME 110 aviation headset to each of the winners of the Industry sponsored Power Pilot Scholarships. Second, each of the twelve finalists at the Air Cadet Effective Speaking Competition is presented with the Sennheiser/Adidas PMX 680 earphones. Finally, perhaps least glamorously but most substantively, the cadets are provided with critical information regarding hearing loss induced by a lifetime exposed to loud ambient cockpit noise and how to mitigate these effects using Sennheiser noise reduction technology and other means. more
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Music flows through the veins of composer, producer, musician, and engineer Julio Reyes Copello. The Columbian native has earned numerous Grammy nominations, a Grammy win, nine ASCAP Awards, and wide international recognition. He has worked with industry luminaries such as Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado, Ricky Martin, Taylor Dayne, and Marc Anthony, among many others. In the past four years, at least one of his songs has appeared on the Billboard Lists’ Top Ten. He also produced the recent album for the French superstar Florent Pagny. more
ANNISTON, ALABAMA – JULY 2010: Stop any random person on the street and the odds are excellent that he or she will have no idea how to operate a mixing board. It almost goes without saying, right? Despite this, most churches can draw on the knowledge and enthusiasm of a small collection of self-identified “techies” with a history of musicianship and a penchant for the gear that makes music loud. But Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Anniston, Alabama had a long run of bad luck in this regard, to the extent that the FOH chair frequently sat empty and services were sometimes interrupted so that the Father could make requisite changes himself! Integrator Joey Hutto of Sound Solutions in nearby Oxford, Alabama solved the church’s troubles with the introduction of a SymNet-centered DSP audio system controlled by a simple ARC-2 interface located right in the Father’s lectern. more
Nation’s largest country music festival commits to L-ACOUSTICS for three years
OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — More than 150,000 people recently flocked to the 300-acre Ford Festival Park in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the 15th annual Country USA music festival. With five non-stop days of performances — rain or shine — from some of country music’s biggest names, there was no shortage of world-class talent, enthusiastic fans or hard-working loudspeakers, which included nearly 80 L-ACOUSTICS V-DOSC enclosures. more
BUENA PARK, Calif.⎯With over 35 stops on the tour, American Idols Live! kicked off July 1 at The Palace in Auburn Hills, MI featuring the top 10 finalists of season nine, including winner, Lee DeWyze. The tour ends August 31st at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. more
Los Angeles, CA––Kevin “Brandino� Brandon is already a session legend in Los Angeles based on his multifaceted bass playing with—just to name a few in a list of artists that goes one forever––Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Outkast.
More recently he’s been involved as a producer on several projects including Robby Krieger’s new solo disc, Singularity on Oglio Records. more

Co-Founder Brett Gurewitz Calls on Brian “Big Bass” Gardner
LA’s archetypal punk pioneers Bad Religion have mastered their new album, “The Dissent of Man,” at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. Co-founder Brett Gurewitz worked with mastering engineer Brian “Big Bass” Gardner and producer Joe Barresi to finalize the project that marks the 30-year anniversary of the band. more
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: For some twenty years, composer, musician, and sound engineer Brando Triantafillou has been writing, performing, and recording music for advertisements, film, and rising stars in the music industry. His clients include Verizon, Adidas, Nike, McDonalds, Sony, and the U.S. Army, among many, many others. Triantafillou’s production company and well-appointed project studio in Chicago both fall under the oddly delicious name of Soundcake, where two recent additions have found a comfortable home. A new BOCK 195 large-diaphragm FET microphone jumped to the front line amid an enviable collection of other A-list condensers, and a new pair of ATC SCM20SL passive near-field monitors are revealing Triantafillou’s recordings and mixes with “brutal honesty,” leading to finished projects that translate anywhere and everywhere. more
HOPEWELL JUNCTION, NEW YORK: The proverb states that nothing succeeds like success, and prolific mix engineer Serban Ghenea is living proof of its truth. After some years sharpening his musical intuition as a player in the jazz, funk and R&B worlds, Ghenea discovered he had a natural aptitude for creating compelling mixes. Over fifteen years, he has developed that aptitude into a flawless genius that has the music industry’s A-list artists lined up at the door to work with him. In the last two years alone, Ghenea has mixed over twenty number one songs for artists such as Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Kelly Clarkson. Metric Halo’s ChannelStrip plug-in is Ghenea’s go-to solution for all equalization and dynamics adjustments. And every mix that has left his studio in the last six years, chart-topping or otherwise, has benefitted from multiple instances of ChannelStrip. more
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – JULY 2010: Under the banner, “Outstanding Music for Outstanding Causes,” and the leadership of Michael Alexander Young, the Charities Philharmonia gets together twice a year to deliver creative and energetic concerts. All proceeds from the events go to benefit worthwhile causes and organizations. In recent years, Andrew Levine has had the opportunity to record the concerts, which almost always take place at St. John’s, Smith Square, in central London, a building erected in 1728 in the English Baroque-style. Its acoustics are stunning, and Levine has captured impressive stereo and surround recordings with minimal setup times using a Metric Halo ULN-8 mic-pre & interface with a Metric Halo MIO virtual mixer. The most recent recording took place at the end of May, with the ensemble performing Rachmaninov’s Isle of the Dead and Mahler’s Symphony No. 5. more

My wizards stop questing when their leveling bar went away at level 60. I didnt turn in any quests after the Bar went away. I hung on to them. I just stop play. I would do things but not quests or turn in quests. When the leveling Bar returned I turned in all those stored quests, Plus finished the quests I didnt do when I stop questing. I have a storm that just completed all the worlds looking for any quests not done. He is now entering Zafaria. His level is 66 I have others at level 64 and so forth but they are still playing other places but not in Zafaria yet. I actually have not done any questing In zafaria. But will have to with my storm he has no other places to go. So yes I expect storm will reach the top level cap before Zafaria is finished But will I do as before, store quests in book and not turn in? or just stop play? Dont know it depends what benefit is for him to continue. I look at XP after the bar goes away as wasted XP, Why waste it when you can use it later if the game expands and the Bar returns., after all you earned it.
I actually worked the experience in Wintertusk to my benefit, I worked at Celestia until level 55 then hopped over to Wintertusk to work toward the level 58 pet quest. Following the main story line only I reached level 58 right at the pet quest time. Going back to Celestia at level 58 also made it seem less stressful for me. I now also only have the 4 seals quest left in Wintertusk and if I want all the side quests. Back in Celestia I follow only the main story line now and head for Zafaria where I am sure I maybe very close to capped at to do. I don't save quests for when the bar comes back I feel if additions to cap or game appear it would just make the next cap happen faster.
What do you guys think? I have points on both sides of this argument so dont hate! It isnt overexperienced: Higher lvl wizards need experience to lvl up.
It is overexperienced: For some of the quests that just have you talking to NPCs you can receive as much as 2000 exp.
So what do you guys think about WT experience wise?
With Grizzleheim itself being ridiculously low, I think the XP in Wintertusk is fair. It is not an easy area for everyone. Besides, you can early over 1,000XP in Marleybone by running around as well. :) | <urn:uuid:97f081f9-0846-477b-8dd2-bb503bba2e83> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.wizard101.com/forum/grizzleheim-wintertusk/is-wt-overexperienced-44976 | 2016-10-28T04:29:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721555.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00438-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974922 | 531 |

Thinking of cancelling now and getting the other half to register as a new customer!
Tried it before years ago and they let me go through with the cancellation without any better offers (I did ask!). It was only when the Other Half rang up and went to register an order that they rang me back with a better offer if I got her to fahgedddaboudit.
Let ye know how I get on.

Ok so after doing a lot of groaning about how dear it's gotten and throwing out names mentioned here they knocked it down a level .
(They were cute enough as they know that they're the only ones with the 500mb in the area and they knew I had a high usage with the family.)
I told them that I'd be sorry to cancel but also might just get the OH to sign up to a new offer, they knocked it down to a 'final best offer'. So thats the 2 level drop mentioned on here a while back.
500mb Virgin Naked (Just broadband) €69 pm (rising to 74 I think) has now gone to:€56 9 months + €71 3 months. (they also briefly tried giving same for 6 months + 6 months but I told em it wasn't that great)
I think I'll take it. I suspect if the OH did ring up though they would offer better but ain't got time for that cancelling and re-joining.
... oh and they mentioned the €5 pm mobile, but I told em I left that plan and went to the 48.ie €7.99 for ever plan.

How do you know which you got, can you tell from the speed alone? The guy was in the manhole in my front garden, so I am assuming he put through a new ftth cable into my house. I'm getting over the 500mbps down and 50mbps up that they promised (on wifi on my phone, when I stand close to the router)

I'm going to dump Virgin they are twice the price of Vodafone now for BB. Do you need landline for Vodafone?

Any way of getting that deal by ringing Eir?

I used to be on that bundle many years ago. The main benefit is that it came with unlimited international phone calls (using their "landline")
So unless your father has friends / family overseas that he rings a lot, he might want to change package / provider. On the above package the full price I paid was about €92 per month, but most years I got 6 months, sometimes 9 months half price. So he sure is overpaying. Tell him to change all his utilities every year from now on or if he is too old to do that himself, you do it for him!
Well I'm no longer a VM customer and after the cancellation chat with the rudest man in existence I never will be again👿
My Digiweb FTTC connection is absolutely flying along I'm getting 75meg down and 19 up, the router is fantastic using a tenth of the power the small oven that VM supply does. Don't think I'd be too pushed in getting FTTH tbh, what I have is very stable which is the main thing.
Anyone elses BB jumping of late ? past few days for me is a constant on/off
they picked a bad time to become unreliable with price hike next month taking it to 67 euro pm for me .............I might finally cut the cord
Have got my cancellation date for month end. Broadband only user. Rang today and best offer they could make was €15 off for 6 mths. Will try again next week...
Their next offer should be 15 off for 9 months. That's what I got em down to. Tell them your partner might sign up as a new user instead.
If there's no budget then maybe offer to switch to €5 mobile if they lower the broadband cost.
Im on 500mb naked with high use in house but I wonder would the 250mb do just as well.
Just keep going on about how expensive it's getting.
I was on the 240mb with home phone (9 months half price and 3 months full price at 60) which was about to expire. i rang yesterday and after 45 mins got through. Eventually manged to get 1GB for 42.50 for 6 months followed by 85 for 6 months. I thought it was a good deal as they were only offering me 10 euro off per month for 9 months on the 240mb.
On a side note I'm back on to them today waiting now 1hr 15 mins as the new modem isnt getting an internet signal. I'm stuck with Virgin as the next offering available to me is 80-90mbps. Fingers crossed for SIRO of FTTH to arrive by this time next year.
The 1gb service is a whole ball of hassle. I've left them and gone back to my 70meg fttc service with Digiweb you wouldn't notice any difference in day to day usage torrents take a bit longer but that really depends on seeds available more than what my connection can offer. My house would be a big user with up to 15 devices on here in the evenings and everyone is happy.
Are people having to actually tell them they are cancelling, to get some sort of discount / special offer?
Also, is there a particular number to call, or is it just the main line?
I told them I was cancelling, didn't get any sort of offer and I'm now with vodafone........
Every previous year, I followed same procedure, cancel and wait for loyalty to ring, they never did this year?? So so no idea if there was a change of procedure this year, or if I just fell through cracks
Rang again this morning. Think I got lucky with the agent - straight off I was offered 9 mths half price and 3 mths full price on current package (with the €4 price increase). More than happy with that.
Just wondering if you are leaving Virgin and have a choice between the likes of Eir Vodafone etc who have the gigabyte internet in your area, I take it Eir customer service still sucks did I read before that Vodafone are great but limit what you can download per month?
Looking to cancel my Virgin contract as I'm moving and don't think the current housemate wants to stay with them. They said I have to pay 450 cancellation fee!? Is this allowed when I'm moving & changing address.
Just had the same conversation with them. 450 quid! I've just cancelled with them as I'm moving next week, paid my last bill (to cover the 30 days notice which is fair enough) and cancelled the direct debit. I'll return their equipment and then we'll see how they get on chasing me for the 450.
Wow how is it 450€ cancellation fee? On their fees list it says cancelling is 150€ I'm concerned because I may have to cancel in contract
150 per service. So if you have phone, broadband and TV they want 450 🤣. Absolute gangsters.
Are you sure that you didn't have a discount deal. If you cancel before the contract is up they will reclaim the discount.
Ah **** I see, I only have broadband with them so shouldn't be more than 150.. idk though they could try pull something and charge more
Wow didn't know they reclaim the discount
Just a question for anyone with Virgin and with the Sky Sports add-on: does it include Sky Sports F1 channel?
It's not mentioned on their website, but assume it's included ...
Phoned up to discuss disconnecting today - automated service said its a 30 min wait 🙄
Out of contract. Rang them twice today to cancel; gave up after 15 mins and then after 20 mins. Sent them an email instead. Paid my last bill by card online and cancelled direct debit immediately.
Was with VM for 3 years, always got a good deal to renew. On 500mb speed. Last two years was 50% off for 9 months (€67.50 p/m worked out at €607.50 for year).
This year offered €15 off for 6 months. (€73 p/m worked out at €786 for year).
Shopped around. Went with Pure Telecom instead. 1000mb speed. Free installation. €40 p/m and €480 for the year. Used in parallel for a week with VM and found Pure Telecom speeds are excellent.
Disappointed to leave VM but with improved speed and significant saving it's a no brainer!
Did they make any effort to keep you, after you sent them the email telling them you were cancelling, or where did that €15pm discount come from please ?
Also, what email address did you use please | <urn:uuid:e6d4b1e4-162c-4139-9052-cf6634d5fc08> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117646443/ | 2022-05-23T04:32:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662555558.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220523041156-20220523071156-00123.warc.gz | en | 0.976959 | 1,947 |

Using a big hammer to tap in a small tack is not the best tool for the job, so too the biggest and strongest magnet is not always the best option for pain relief.
While for the lower back and larger joints such as hip pain and shoulder pain use the larger devices QF28-6 and QF28-3 which penetrate much deeper and capture much more of the tissue with the magnetic field they project.
See the online manual or go to the Body Chart and click on the relevant body part for recommended devices and placements. If you’re still unsure, contact us with your specific condition and we’ll make a recommendation based on medical evidence and thousands of patients treated.
Download the PDF Reference Guide by clicking on the image below. This details all the Q magnets devices, their depth of penetration and recommended uses.
DID YOU KNOW?
The research has shown that magnets can also be too strong to have an effect. Obviously they can be too weak to have an effect, but not many people realise they can sometime be too strong. For instance…
Two studies illustrate the point (see references below). One by Morris showed that the application of a 10 or 70 mT static magnetic field resulted in a significant reduction in tissue swelling, but a magnetic field much stronger at 400 mT had very little effect. In another study (Okano), the opposite occurred, that is the weaker magnetic field had no effect.
There seems to be what’s known as a window of effectiveness. It’s like Goldilocks and the three bear – has to be just right!
What’s more, because Neodymium magnets are so powerful, there comes a point where they become dangerous. Aside from getting stuck to things that take super human strength to pull them off, if two large magnets (say 5x5cm or 2×2 inches) snap together, they can literally smash fingers and break bones!
So bigger and/or stronger does not necessarily mean better.

The momentum is building for the 18th charity North West 10k race and walk which takes place on this Sunday in Letterkenny starting at 2.00.
Once again there is a huge interest in the event which is the start of the Donegal Grand Prix series for the serious runners.
However, the North West 10k is primarily a fun day out that caters for all age categories and is aimed at raising as much money as possible for the two main charities which this year are Letterkenny Branch of the Dyslexia Association of Ireland and the Conwal Parish Church Restoration Fund. A number of other associated charities will also benefit by their involvement with the 10k. The general public is advised that traffic restrictions will be in place for a period on Sunday afternoon to ensure the safe running of the event.
Runners can still enter on-line by going to www.northwest10k.com until this Friday evening. The 10k committee also has an office open at the Letterkenny Community Centre to take entries for runners and walkers on this evening Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd of May from 5 – 7 p.m. and on Saturday afternoon 3rd of May from 3 – 6 p.m. For further details go to www.northwest10k.com | <urn:uuid:08f9e119-1caa-4e6b-ad7f-f6f9dca76723> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/news/other-sports/43200/18th-North-West-10k-on-Sunday.html | 2016-10-28T17:45:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725451.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00230-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96574 | 262 |

DPRK's Birthday Marked Abroad
| Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Foreign magazines and newspaper carried special write-ups to mark the 65th anniversary of the DPRK.
The September issue of the Chinese Hong Kong magazine International Link carried several articles with photos of President Kim Il Sung, leader Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un.
In an article titled "People uphold him as sun" the magazine said that the Korean people are blessed with the sun as they are led by Kim Jong Un who is identical to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
It went on:
Kim Jong Un declared that the way to be followed by the DPRK is the way of independence, Songun and socialism.
Visiting every nook and corner of the country he gives detailed orientations and ways for providing the people with rich and prosperous life under socialism as early as possible.
The Korean people upholding Kim Jong Un as the sun are confidently advancing for the day when they will enjoy wealth and prosperity under socialism.
The September issue of a Vietnamese magazine carried an article titled "Vigorously advancing country" with the photo of Kim Jong Un.
It is the goal of the Korean people to achieve national reunification and build a thriving nation under the banner of the Juche idea created by Kim Il Sung.
Kim Jong Un who carries forward the cause of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il is wisely leading the Korean revolution.
Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un the Korean people will surely build an economic power and achieve national reunification.
The British newspaper The New Worker on Sept. 13 carried an article titled "65 year-long history of struggle".

Children (and even adults) learn best and retain more vital information when all of their senses are active and engaged. That said, a water or sand table, or “sensory table” or bin is the perfect way to enlighten and entertain your little one for hours of creative, educational play. Your sensory table can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. Some popular sensory table activities include safe edible finger paints, slimy goop or slime, loose sand, and even plain ol’ H20. The real point isn’t how you set it up, but how you allow your child to explore materials and themes with no preconceived knowledge or major goals in mind. Kids who are allowed to investigate a sensory experience mostly on their own will develop and refine their cognitive, social and emotional, physical, creative and linguistic skill sets. Keep reading to see a slideshow of 20 fabulous educational, creative sensory table (or bin) experiences perfect for your toddler.
Safety Note: Sensory tables often make use of small objects that may not be suitable for your baby or young toddler. If your little one is still tossing everything into his mouth, don’t use small toys, grains or nuts and so on, in your sensory table set-ups and offer supervision as well. Oh, and if you need some inexpensive ideas about the actual sensory table, check out the links below.

Jon Kaase Bests The Rest At The 2003 Engine Masters Challenge Finals
The FinalsThe Engine Masters Challenge competition has gained the attention of our readers, the automotive aftermarket, and many of racing’s best minds. For 2003, our goal was to find the best-possible pump gas-urged domestic big-block 470-inch powerplant, and Jon Kaase of Winder, GA showed everyone how it was done.
Check out the power figures on his 460-based Ford engine. His final score of 1178.8 is a combination of the horsepower and torque averages between our target rpm levels of 3,000 and 6,500. The 745 peak horses show the engine is a model of efficiency, while a torque peak of 657.5 ft.-lbs. at 4,900 rpm backs up the power with grunt. Tested with a 14×3-inch Accel round air filter in place, and exhausting through a pair of Magnaflow 3-inch in/out mufflers, Kaase’s Ford represents the pinnacle of what could be living under the hood of any late-’60s/early ’70s street Mustang in the country with the Hooker headers he chose to run (they will fit an unmodified Mustang chassis).
The engine will be dissected and explored in detail (along with the second and third place winning powerplants) on our pages next month, but first we’ll show you how the competition went down. For now, we’ll share that the engine wore a set of Kaase’s own (by design, not manufacture) Super Cobra Jet heads. Cast and sold by Ford Racing, these cylinder heads are available through your local Ford dealer, and fit our rules contention of being “factory replacement” parts. No mods are required to install them, and they share architecture (intake and exhaust patterns, along with rockers) with factory 460 heads.
Naturally, the heads are only one part of the puzzle, and Kaase’s personal hand-finishing of these heads must figure strongly into the equation, but know the parts capable of winning the Engine Masters Challenge are readily available to you, and know the power potential living within them is evident on these pages. This is why the Challenge was created, and you can reap the benefits.
The 12 engines were all shipped to Westech from their respective Regional Qualifying sites. The engines were tested in an identical manner, and each builder was once again informed of the procedures to be followed. The engines would be loaded up on the dyno, with a safety checklist to be gone over prior to firing. Once the builder and the Engine Masters Challenge staff had approved the installation, the engine could be fired and brought up to our target temperatures. With coolant going into the engine at 160 degrees, we were confident the engines were operating at about 180 degrees, which represents a real number on the street. Oil temps were brought up to a similar level, and then the warm-up runs could be made.
The warm-up runs consisted of three pulls at 600 rpm per second, and served to both heat-soak the competing powerplants and ensure they were thoroughly heated up to replicate a street scenario. These pulls also provided preliminary data for the builders to see, should they choose to alter their tune in a 20-minute period to follow. Once the warm-ups were done, each builder was given twenty minutes to fine-tune the timing (through distributor movement only) or jetting (through freedom to change jets and air bleeds) to find their best score. Builders were not limited to the amount of pulls they could make during this time, but the clock would be their only nemesis. Some builders found power; others lost some. Some did both- finding a good tune, then making a last-minute change hoping for more, but ending up with less when the “real” pulls happened. This is racing, and in racing these things happen. In searching for the nation’s Engine Master, such calls become the difference between making a name for oneself or learning an important lesson for next year.
The final part of the Engine Masters Challenge for the builders was the three competition pulls. These three dyno passes would be averaged together to find the horsepower and torque numbers used to develop each entrant’s score. The ability of an engine to make consistent power over three runs is the key to winning the title, and factors like temperature increase from pull-to-pull becomes paramount. For our readers, this filters out engines making one “good” pull and not being able to back it up immediately. It sidesteps the “peaky” engines that don’t make tremendous average power, but do well only within a slim rpm window. It’s what makes the Engine Masters Challenge hard, and why it’s such a big deal to win. Note that all of the power figures shown here (both peaks and averages) are derived from accumulated data averaged over the three “competition” dyno runs, and peaks on individual passes showed both higher and lower numbers. By sharing the average data, we can confidently post these numbers and know each of these engines can easily claim the power figures we’ve printed.
SummaryWith the results posted, the testing complete, and the unofficial winner named, we had the chance to look over the field and come to a few conclusions regarding 92-octane big-blocks, the Engine Masters Challenge, and street performance.
The 92-octane gasoline is key to making the Challenge both exciting and unpredictable. Builders are learning to squeeze the most out of these limited octane engines and really make some incredible power. We heard many participants and sponsors asking for higher (race-level) octane to truly showcase the potential within both the engines and the builders. We had to turn them down, and in fact we’d rather run the Challenge on 87-octane than 110-octane.
We genuinely feel the actual power numbers generated in the Challenge are less important than the competition itself. Seeing a variety of professional engine builders doing their best to work with the same 92-octane gas our readers fight with was refreshing. Knowing some of the best tuners on the planet were having to develop ways around low compression to make big average power numbers is beneficial to our readers, and in the long run, will be beneficial to all. Learning to curb detonation and preignition in low compression engines will guide researchers and racers to better efficiency by eliminating the hot spots where pinging starts. Using Engine Masters Challenge winners as models for street performance engines is a good move, and it starts with the capability to burn pump gas effectively when the engine is up to operating temperature and being heavily loaded. This is what we do in the Challenge, and is also why we do it in this manner.
The Engine Masters Challenge program, as a whole, is a good thing. It brings together an eclectic mix of builders and philosophies, and runs them against each other head-to-head. There is room for improvement, however, and we’re not blind to it. The logistics behind shipping engines across the country, the difficulty of developing a truly fair rules package fair to all makes, and the need to effectively load and unload engines during testing are all being addressed for next year’s rumble. We learned plenty, and the program will continue to evolve toward a higher level of competition. Look forward to where we’re headed, as we’re confident you’ll be as excited as we are.
The Engine Masters Challenge will impact the current state of street performance. We know many of the engines you’ve seen may not be what you could comfortably define as “daily-driver street engines” and they clearly push the limit of the term “street engine.” We think this is fine, as we expected limits to be pushed and innovation to be seen. To truly take Engine Masters Challenge information and make it work under your hood, we encourage you to look at these engines as “models” to build from. The tips, tricks, modifications, and parts used can all assist you in making more power in your street machine. Sure, some compression ratios are too high for your daily driver, and yes, some of the camshafts in these engines are too aggressive for a smooth idle. We know this. What you should be doing is seeing what works on engines of your favorite make and also those of other makes.
Next month we’ll be offering a look inside the top three engines. We took plenty of measurements and photos, spoke at length with the builders, and even flowed the cylinder heads. The 470-inch dimensions of these engines should be able to offer readers a really solid benchmark to build from, and the top-end packages should work wonderfully on lower-compression street-type short-blocks our readers can afford, or already have.
We’ve included the contact information for the builders involved in the Challenge, and we’d recommend working with them on your own project. They have proven their knowledge to us without question. They’ve earned the respect of their peers and those who manufacture the parts that helped them do so well. They’ve researched the needs of a 470-inch engine on 92-octane and they figured it all out so you don’t have to. So, as we’ve said before, of you’ve got a 440, 454, 455, 460, or 472-inch engine with a normal overbore, this information will help you go faster. All you have to do is pay attention, and work with those who’ve proven their knowledge in our forum.
Congratulations to all the Engine Masters Challenge finalists on your accomplishments. You’re all experts, and we look forward to seeing more of your expertise next year, when once again we’ll be on a nationwide search for the best engine builder in America. Who will be the next to hold the huge check and take home the coveted trophy? Will it be Jon Kaase again? Will Joe Sherman come back and win once more? Or, will we have an entirely different winner? Only time will tell, but we’re already looking forward to crowning the next Engine Master! | <urn:uuid:99deaa95-1b3d-4f4e-b174-2d0d2c92338e> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.hotrod.com/articles/0404phr-engine-masters-challenge-2003/ | 2017-09-21T15:44:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687833.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921153438-20170921173438-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.95711 | 2,146 |
Individual Savings Accounts are savings vehicles which benefit from favourable tax treatment. UK residents can invest up to £20,000 this tax year, with no further liability to income or capital gains tax. You receive this allowance each year but if you don’t use it then you lose it for that year. You can invest your allowance in cash or in a stocks and shares ISA or a combination of the two.
Of course, the benefits of ISAs may be subject to change in the future, but the government has indicated its recognition of the importance of ISAs in helping investors achieve long term financial security. This years' allowance has increased to £20,000 which in these taxing times is certainly one piece of good news. That is why it is so important to make full use of your allowance and find an investment solution that gives you the opportunity to help ensure the tax advantages of your ISA are maximised.
UTs/OEICS are pooled risk funds and are often referred to as “collectives”. In essence they are a “fund” which allows you to invest in a multitude of investment styles such as stocks and shares, corporate bonds or gilts as well as property. A fund manager is in charge of how the fund is made up and it is that person who determines the mix of the fund. By “pooling” together various investments the risk to the individual is reduced as the risk is spread over many stocks and shares as well as other style of investments.
Unit Trusts are suitable investments for the “stocks and shares” component of the ISA with all the tax advantages as explained above.
An investment bond is designed to invest a single lump sum into a wide range of different funds and aims to increase the value of your money or provide you with an income. Investment Bonds aim to maximise growth prospects, spread risk, let you switch between funds easily and potentially reduce your liability to Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax.
Investment Bonds can be very useful tools in planning for Inheritance Tax or Long Term Care.
Structured products are a collective term for both Structured Investment Products and Structured Deposits. The Investment version involves you lending money to a bank whereas the Deposit version means your money is actually Deposited with the bank and is therefore deemed to be a less riskier product.
The returns on the products are usually based on the performance of the FTSE100 index although there are other indices they can be linked to. At outset it is agreed that if the FTSE, for example, is higher at the end of the term then a set percentage will be paid out on top of your capital. Please note that with the Investment version then your Capital is at risk and we would advise you to speak with one of our advisers before entering into any Structured Product.
For some, investing offshore is advantageous for tax purposes. Examples are listed below but ultimately it means your investment will benefit from gross roll up with no tax deducted.
For individuals who can expect their marginal rate of tax to fall (perhaps in anticipation of retirement or becoming non-resident in the UK)
There can be tax to pay on returning the money to the UK so please speak with one of our advisers for further information. | <urn:uuid:80f09f66-ac31-499d-bd2d-3fed1a4b1706> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://wisefinancialconsulting.co.uk/personal/investments.php | 2019-09-15T20:33:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514572289.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190915195146-20190915221146-00006.warc.gz | en | 0.967132 | 668 |

Hair cells can be damaged by exposure to loud noise, which could lead to tinnitus. This can occur gradually as a result of exposure to noises over prolonged periods or may be caused by exposure to louder noises over a shorter period of time. If you are exposed to loud noises, you should always wear ear protection. Find out more about the subject on our How Loud Is Loud article and see if your job or lifestyle could be putting your ears at risk,
None of these treatment options are supported by science. Many people are convinced that the herb gingko biloba is helpful, however large-scale studies have been unable to prove this. There are many nutritional supplements claiming to be tinnitus remedies. These are usually a combination of herbs and vitamins, often including zinc, ginkgo, and vitamin B-12.
Your doctor will try to determine what is causing the condition. If it is not due to a medication side effect or a general medical condition (such as high blood pressure), he or she may refer you to an otolaryngologist (an ear, nose, and throat doctor) or an audiologist (hearing specialist). It is especially important to see an otolaryngologist if you experience tinnitus in only one ear, tinnitus that sounds like your heartbeat or pulse (pulsatile tinnitus), tinnitus with sudden or fluctuating hearing loss, pressure or fullness in one or both ears, and/or dizziness or balance problems. Unless the cause of the tinnitus is obvious on physical examination, a hearing test is usually required.
Most people should have a formal hearing test done by either the doctor or a hearing specialist (audiologist). People with tinnitus in only one ear and hearing loss should have gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). People with tinnitus in only one ear and normal hearing should have an MRI if tinnitus lasts more than 6 months. People with pulsatile tinnitus often require magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and sometimes angiography.
As of 2014 there were no medications effective for idiopathic tinnitus. There is not enough evidence to determine if antidepressants or acamprosate are useful. While there is tentative evidence for benzodiazepines, it is insufficient to support usage. Usefulness of melatonin, as of 2015, is unclear. It is unclear if anticonvulsants are useful for treating tinnitus. Steroid injections into the middle ear also do not seem to be effective.
If you have tinnitus you also may suffer from anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Discuss treatments with your doctor. While tinnitus cannot always be cured, there are many treatments available for you to make it easier to live with tinnitus. See your doctor if tinnitus is accompanied by dizziness, fever, or headache; as this may signal a more serious condition.
Assessment of psychological processes related to tinnitus involves measurement of tinnitus severity and distress (i.e., nature and extent of tinnitus-related problems), measured subjectively by validated self-report tinnitus questionnaires. These questionnaires measure the degree of psychological distress and handicap associated with tinnitus, including effects on hearing, lifestyle, health and emotional functioning. A broader assessment of general functioning, such as levels of anxiety, depression, stress, life stressors and sleep difficulties, is also important in the assessment of tinnitus due to higher risk of negative well-being across these areas, which may be affected by or exacerbate the tinnitus symptoms for the individual. Overall, current assessment measures are aimed to identify individual levels of distress and interference, coping responses and perceptions of tinnitus in order to inform treatment and monitor progress. However, wide variability, inconsistencies and lack of consensus regarding assessment methodology are evidenced in the literature, limiting comparison of treatment effectiveness. Developed to guide diagnosis or classify severity, most tinnitus questionnaires have been shown to be treatment-sensitive outcome measures.
About 25-30 million Americans have tinnitus as a condition, and they experience these noises on a regular, most often daily, basis. About 40 percent of people with tinnitus hear tinnitus noise through 80 percent of their day. And for a smaller group of people—about 1 in 5, tinnitus is disruptive enough to significantly interfere with daily functioning, becoming disabling or nearly disabling.
The physician may also request an OAE test (which is very sensitive to noise induced hearing damage), an ECochG (looking for Meniere's disease and hydrops, an MRI/MRA test (scan of the brain), a VEMP (looking for damage to other parts of the ear) and several blood tests (ANA, B12, FTA, ESR, SMA-24, HBA-IC, fasting glucose, TSH, anti-microsomal antibodies).
Tinnitus affects every layer of society, and there has been increasing support for awareness. Recently, musicians who are affected by tinnitus have come together to create awareness for the disorder. Artists including Chris Martin of Coldplay and Black Eyed Peas have created a compilation album to help raise funds towards finding a cure for tinnitus. In the United States, the Department of Defense has invested millions of dollars into investigations of tinnitus sound therapies. In addition, the American Tinnitus Association makes efforts to lobby the US government to provide support for tinnitus sufferers.
Microvascular compression may sometimes cause tinnitus. According to Levine (2006) the quality is similar to a "typewriter", and it is fully suppressed by carbamazepine. It seems to us that response to carbamazepine is not a reliable indicator of microvascular compression as this drug stabilizes nerves and lowers serum sodium. Nevertheless, this quality of tinnitus probably justifies a trial of oxcarbamazine (a less toxic version of carbamazepine).
Along the path a hearing signal travels to get from the inner ear to the brain, there are many places where things can go wrong to cause tinnitus. If scientists can understand what goes on in the brain to start tinnitus and cause it to persist, they can look for those places in the system where a therapeutic intervention could stop tinnitus in its tracks.
Ocean waves are designed to create a soothing environment, like that of the serene ocean waves. Miracle-Ear hearing aids offer four different ocean wave signals to choose from so that you can find the one that you find to be the most relaxing. Ocean waves are an alternative to static noise and can be found to be a stress-free type of tinnitus treatment. Your hearing care specialist will work with you to find the signal that offers the most relief.
CBT involves working with a therapist or counselor, typically once per week, to identify and change negative thought patterns. CBT was initially developed as a treatment for depression and other psychological problems, but it seems to work well for people with tinnitus. Several studies and meta-reviews, including one published in the Korean Journal of Audiology, have found that CBT significantly improves irritation and annoyance that often comes with tinnitus.
Somatic tinnitus is caused, worsened, or otherwise related to your body’s own sensory system. Sensory signals coming from various parts of the body are disrupted, causing a spasm that produces tinnitus. Those who have somatic tinnitus usually have it in only one ear. Depending on the root cause your doctor may come up with treatment options to alleviate the symptoms.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome is a disorder that causes symptoms like pain, clicking, and popping of the jaw. TMJ is caused by injury to the temporomandibular joint. Stress, poor posture, jaw trauma, genetic predisposition, and inflammatory disorders are risk factors for the condition. A variety of self-care measures (application of ice, use of over-the-counter pain medication, massage, relaxation techniques) and medical treatment options (dental splint, Botox, prescription medications, surgery) are available to manage TMJ. The prognosis of TMJ is good with proper treatment.
Take the first step toward relief by scheduling a consultation with one of our audiologists. By carefully examining your case history and conducting audiometric testing, we can identify the likely causes of your tinnitus and recommend an effective treatment. In addition, if medically necessary, we may refer you to another physician to complete your diagnosis.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds is the most common cause of tinnitus. Up to 90% of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss. The noise causes permanent damage to the sound-sensitive cells of the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear. Carpenters, pilots, rock musicians, street-repair workers, and landscapers are among those whose jobs put them at risk, as are people who work with chain saws, guns, or other loud devices or who repeatedly listen to loud music. A single exposure to a sudden extremely loud noise can also cause tinnitus. | <urn:uuid:42948de5-0a62-4230-93ee-05460742b74b> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://banishtinnitus.net/tinnitus-miracle-cure-tinnitus-cure-soon.html | 2019-03-24T13:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203448.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20190324124545-20190324150545-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.940556 | 1,900 |
$4.8M for Montessori Training Plus Bachelor’s in Connecticut
The University of Hartford (UHart) and the Montessori Training Center Northeast (MTCNE), an AMI teacher training center in Hartford, Connecticut, have received a Walton Family Foundation grant of $4.8 million for a new program which combines a bachelor’s degree with an AMI primary or elementary diploma and creates a nearly-direct pathway to a Connecticut public school teaching certificate.
Connecticut already offers a teaching certificate pathway for AMI diploma holders with a bachelor’s (the Unique Endorsement #110). The endorsement typically requires twelve additional Masters-level credits (in special education, reading, and early childhood education or math) and allows teachers to work in any of Connecticut’s four public Montessori schools. Endorsement holders can take additional steps (but need no further coursework) to qualify for a full teaching certificate, which has reciprocity with many other states. This new program incorporates the additional credits required for the endorsement into the bachelor’s degree. The precise pathway from this bachelor’s degree to the full certification is still under discussion, so this new pathway effectively puts Montessori teacher training almost, but not quite, on par with conventional teacher preparation.
MTCNE graduates have been eligible for the Unique Endorsement since its inception, as a bachelor’s degree is a standard criterion for admission. However, this program opens a pathway for students without a bachelor’s to complete that degree and the AMI diploma at the same time, and to access financial aid. Full-time tuition in the University of Hartford’s bachelor’s program runs about $38,000. Already, nine students (four full-time, five part-time) have been admitted to the program, and $138,000 has been awarded in scholarships thus far. UHart has committed to maintain the percentage of Walton scholarship aid granted to each student across their time in the program, so a student receiving 50%support this year can expect that to continue to ensure program completion. UHart also offers a Master’s in Education program for AMI diploma holders, but this requires a bachelor’s degree for entry. The Elementary Masters does support the Unique Endorsement while currently Primary does not by itself confer the Unique Endorsement or a conventional teaching license.
The project is funded by the James Walton Fund, an independent philanthropic initiative run by James Walton. Walton is the grandson of Helen and Sam Walton, founders of the Walton Family Foundation and Walmart. Walton has supported other Montessori initiatives in recent years, including organizational development work for the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (which publishes MontessoriPublic). | <urn:uuid:f69ea7ab-fc1d-4ec4-87ca-7058e8389528> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.montessoripublic.org/2017/09/4-8m-montessori-training-plus-bachelors-connecticut/ | 2020-10-21T15:51:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107876768.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20201021151342-20201021181342-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.93123 | 579 |
Beyond SEO: How To Bring People To A Business Site
by Aaron Hollobaugh, VP of Marketing & Communications at Hostway Corporation
Search Engine Optimization is the primary plan for helping draw people to a website, but if every business is doing it, is the playing field really tilting in anyone’s favor?
Here are some more suggestions for making a website site more attractive:
Social Media, Used Strategically.
Building an online audience is only part of the traffic-driving puzzle. A common tactic is combining that with linking up with an influential social media site or personality for additional promotion.
Build A Mobile Site.
Visitors on the go appreciate sites that give them a version that’s simple to navigate via phone and provides the most essential information in an easy-access manner.
Compile a Newsletter Audience.
One-time visitors can’t be counted on to return; newsletters find them instead. Strong newsletter material serves as a reminder of why a website was valuable in the first place.
Start a Loyalty, Referral or Brand Ambassador Program.
Within those newsletters, companies will often offer incentives for continuing to patronize their business. It makes customers feel valued and rewarded.
Try PPC Campaigns.
Pay-per-click advertising can be cost-effective for companies that bid well. They get top placement on search pages so that they’re seen first. With the right key phrases, the paid visitors will roll in.
Conduct a Webinar.
Offer a free instructional session to display your expertise. It doesn’t have to be too involved; many webinars are now built around the idea of attending during part of your lunch break.
Better, More Interactive Content.
No simpler advice exists than constantly improving. Consider creating a series of brief instructional videos to promote via email. More reasons to visit means more visitors. Every little bit helps, but what helps most is excellent information in your specialty. The best websites produce valuable insights, and write it well, bringing people useful data.
Make Your Case (with Case Studies).
Pick a satisfied customer using the product you want to promote the most, and co-author a story about your business relationship and how you help them succeed. Co-market white papers or webinars with partners who build complementary products.
Post Reviews Prominently.
Consider placing customer reviews on your product pages, letting your users speak for your product. It’s good to present a seemingly less biased voice.
The best strategies are likely to mix in several of the ideas above as businesses see what works best in their individual cases. As long as they stay vigilant – always doing something to bring in more visitors – viewership should keep rising.

Colin E. Braley/Associated PressDelonte West of the Mavericks later found a new way to annoy Gordon Hayward of the Jazz.
There are several dozen ways to commit a foul. Some are hard, bordering on violent, and others are so ambiguous that only the referee detected something amiss.
Mavericks guard Delonte West added an innovation to the lexicon of fouls, doing something Monday night that probably will not be imitated any time soon.
How about sticking a finger in an opponent’s ear?
West, who called his move a “wet willy,” drew a technical foul for sticking his finger in Jazz guard Gordon Hayward’s right ear during the Jazz’s 123-121 triple-overtime win over Mavericks. And that came after he had hacked Hayward to break up a fast break.
Understandably, Hayward did not take well to being intentionally poked in the ear, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. He raised both hands to complain to the officials, but restrained himself from retaliating against West. The crew had to confer about what they saw before determining that a “wet willy” is indeed a foul. Read more…
Jacob Weinstein/FreeDarko FreeDarko artwork is done by Jacob Weinstein, like the collage of the 1970s Knicks playing amid the headlines from their championships.
Baseball has its numbers and football has its hard hits, but basketball, more than those sports, has style. And no one has done more to try to capture that than the collection of bloggers known as FreeDarko.
In their first book, 2008’s “The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac,” the blog set about defining what, and who, they loved. In “The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History,” out this month, they look back to find what led to the N.B.A. they now love.
The group took turns answering questions about basketball and their new book.
Q. Are you aware that Bill Simmons already wrote the history of basketball? His was much longer than yours.
Bethlehem Shoals: We like to think that, as with the story of rickets or the lives of minor presidents, there can be many books written about this subject, each with its own unique personality and focus. We used a lot of the same material as Simmons, but came to some very different conclusions.
The Cavaliers could revel after their victory Thursday night as they completed a regular-season sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers, but their point guard corps is running thin.
Delonte West sustained a fractured left ring finger against the Lakers. He finished the game, but departed in a splint and the fracture was confirmed today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
West made his first start of the season against the Lakers because the Cavs’ starting point guard Mo Williams, who was an All Star last season, will miss four to six weeks with a sprained shoulder.
The Cavaliers flirted with signing a veteran point guard earlier this season and took a long look at Antonio Daniels, but held off. The rash of injuries will probably alter that mindset.
“The last two years, a lot of the success we had as a team was because Mo was our point guard,” LeBron James told the Plain Dealer. “To lose an All-Star point guard hurts, it hurts a lot. Guys got to step up, they have no choice but to step up.” | <urn:uuid:badb82e8-eb50-4f01-91c0-85032b3db20d> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/delonte-west/ | 2014-03-08T23:58:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999668224/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060748-00050-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973579 | 728 |
in the midst of all our familyfun-having in los angeles, james, chris, and i managed to take lily, sungu, topher and mia to san diego to go to Legoland. we actually got 3 free adult and 2 free kid passes from a friend, which means we paid regular admission for one kid to get in. which was beyond AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause let’s be real- it’s about $65 for a kid over the age of 3 to go there, and about $75 for one adult. all prices that we would otherwise NEVER pay to just go to an amusement park.
sungu and topher LOVE legos right now. and lily just loves her brother and her cousin, and also has a good number of legos herself, so this was a serious treat for the three of them. mia was along for the ride and she did SO GREAT! i love this baby. she is so awesome:
yeah. she napped.
sungu and i rode on the ‘helicopters’ together
topher’s favorite part was probably the star wars miniland. topher LOVES star wars (he was very appropriately dressed as you can see) and he loved all these star wars figures entirely of lots of little legos. he wanted a picture with each figure (there were about 12 of them) except for princess leia. he couldn’t care less about her if he tried. funny boy.
this one is the only one he wanted to hold hands with 😉
for some reason, boba fett is his favorite character. boba fett is an assassin… i’m not sure if i should be concerned…
my girls and i met a princess in the enchanted forest!
on a roller coaster that topher equally loved and was terrified of.
i know i dressed her- but this girl rocks my socks off. she is so dang cool!
the awesome malloy men 🙂 | <urn:uuid:60f75506-0a21-4dfd-b4c6-8c770aa6a00d> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://fosteringvoices.com/legoland/ | 2022-07-04T06:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104354651.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220704050055-20220704080055-00163.warc.gz | en | 0.967023 | 425 |
“Shark Tank” season 7 shark Robert Herjavec has given some tips to land a deal with an investor.
So, here are five questions to consider before trying convincing an investor to partner:
1. Is your product or idea unique and could stand out from the rest?
Herjavec noticed that the competition nowadays is tougher than in previous years. In his speaking engagements at colleges and universities, he has found out that almost all college students raise their hands when asked who would want to run their own businesses.
“I think it’s harder if you’re a ‘me too’ business or you’re one of many. I think if you really have an innovative idea and you’re first to market, there’s no shortage in money,” Robert Herjavec of “Shark Tank” season 7 told Business Insider.
2. Are you positioning yourself to succeed?
A research conducted by Gallup revealed five out of 10 (50%) new U.S. companies fail in their first five years. And the reason was reportedly due to the absence of talent for the business.
Investors like Robert Herjavec of “Shark Tank” look for those entrepreneurs who position themselves to succeed, especially in the first five years.
3. Can you sell yourself to investors as to who you are?
Besides a unique product, Herjavec said entrepreneurs must be able to sell who they are.
4. Can they work with you for years?
Investors usually look for long-term partnerships and if they can work with an entrepreneur for years, there’s a bigger chance of landing that deal.
5. Are you in a fast-growing market?
There’s a danger in saying, “I’m going to grow the market.” Why? According to Robert Herjavec of “Shark Tank” season 7, no entrepreneur can do that.
“I want people who are in an expanding market already. You can’t grow a market. It’s very, very difficult,” Herjavec said.

Futurlab releases their sequel to Velocity and Velocity Ultra... Velocity 2X! Read about the action and story in our review for the PS Vita version........
Velocity Ultra came out on the Vita last year (which in itself was a tweaked up version of Velocity) and was an enjoyable top down sci fi space shooter. We rated it pretty high last year, but it had some problems, too. It was great to see Futurlab take those issues and fix them up for a glossy, sharp looking release of Velocity 2X (V2X).
For those of you unfamiliar with Velocity, you are a pilot named Kai and you fly around in a pretty sweet spaceship that can teleport at the swipe of a finger, as well as boost, and fire lasers and bombs. The story for me was a little hard to follow as the game was more focused on the action and subsequent puzzles that arose.
|The story has a bigger focus this time around|
I was happy to find out that the story in V2X has a much bigger focus. Between each mission there are beautiful story panels telling the plot of Kai and her adventures through a space portal and her efforts to return back to Earth.
This time around there are some variances to the gameplay. It is broken down into two main segments: the flight part, and the much touted on foot portion. There are also boss battles, but those aren't very huge. Especially with the difficulty level scaled down a bit in this game. In Velocity Ultra you had a certain number of lives before you had to start the whole shebang over, but in V2X you can just keep picking up where you just perished. I liked this change, it helped with the frustration level, but it also shortens the game a bit.
Flying is smoother and the graphical upgrade from the first game is a nice change. The game plays FAST and looks sweet. Lens flares, explosions, debris passing by in space... there are a lot of details to make this game pop much more this time around.
And what about those running segments? They are actually cool. It breaks up the flying sessions to add variety to the game. You run around the innards of buildings and such blasting gems, hitting sequencers, avoiding red death walls, destroying enemies... and levels get more complex with the use of "telepods," devices that allow you to teleport back to an earlier segment in which you dropped the thing.
|Running portions are fun and puzzling!|
The map lets you know when to drop them (same in the flight zones), but sometimes you may plan things your own way. You have a limited number, so be careful!
There are bonuses to find to unlock extra zones and features, so it will keep completionists busy for a while. As will the leaderboards! There is a heavy focus on social apps to share info with friends and challenge them while you're at it.
Speaking of challenges, although the game has only 50 levels (with some additional bonus features), you will find yourself going back through to do better in each section as you may need to earn extra XP to advance. I didn't realize this until about level 46 when it prompted me to go back and do that. It was a little jarring to the storyline in that I couldn't quite continue without more XP and had to replay things. But it made me run back to earlier levels and see how much better I had gotten at things.
The levels are broken into 3 or 4 point scales: speed, points, gems, and rescues. Got a low score in one area? Go back and get a "gold" to receive more XP. Plus, the trophy hunters will be all over this to perfect a level (all golds in one run).
The music and sound effects are amazing. Get yourself a nice set of headphones/earbuds to fully appreciate it.
One other issue I had with the original was the lack of variety in the backgrounds... and V2X fixes that up as well! You'll be heading to different space locales to spice things up.
Something gets thrown into the game near the end which affects gameplay. I don't want to ruin anything, but it involves a different way to fly around. The fact that it shows up in the last couple of levels feels slapped in there. You don't really get to practice the technique to get to the end and again felt jarring.
Fast, fun, frenetic action. An improvement on Velocity Ultra in all ways.
The game is out for the PS4, as well, and looks sharp on the big screen. Cross buy!
What do you think? Are you going to give this a try? Playstation Plus people get this game free this month! Make sure to pick it up.

"It was cool but unfortunately, I got sick and had to leave early," Stringfellow said. "I left this morning and missed some of the meetings but it was still a good visit. The coaches were all great with me and it was cool to hang out with the players.
"Junior (Pomee) was my host and we're real close since he played at my school and it was great to hang out with him. The coaches let me know I had a spot there and they wanted a big receiver like me but I'm solid with Washington. I won't be taking any more visits and my commitment is now 100% firm, it always was but no more trips for sure."
Stringfellow committed to Washington at the Huskies Rising Stars Camp over the summer and said he has never wavered.
"I know a lot of people were concerned about me taking the visit to USC," Stringfellow said. "I understand that but I just did it because it's the local school, close to home and I haven't visited anywhere else other than Washington. I'm real good with Washington though, I'm tight with the coaches and the other recruits and I'm not going anywhere other than to UW next fall." | <urn:uuid:fa2eb59e-87b3-49df-ba65-26c20097afdd> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.scout.com/college/football/recruiting/story/1259519-stringfellow-talks-usc-official-visit?s=73 | 2016-08-26T01:43:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982295103.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195815-00289-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.995164 | 252 |
I had an epiphany while looking at this photo that Taylor Swift right now is the blonde Carly Rae Jepsen. Or, rather, CRJ is the brunette Taylor Swift.
But you feel me: Heavy bangs into her eyes, very bright mouth, both working together to obliterate their eyes and other facial features so that all you see is Fringehead McLippy. It’s not as distracting on Taylor as it is on CRJ, though, so she has that going for her. What of the dress? Well, I wouldn’t hate it, except for the giant darts making boob dimples. The one on the left is so deep you could do a shot from it.
What she wore for her performance, though, took the cake. And then stepped on it.
Pardon me for this, but I cannot resist: She and those shorts should never, ever get back together. Like, EVER. | <urn:uuid:2e67619d-5550-4187-93d1-573ca2e21f7e> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fine-taylor-swift-with-bonus-fug-12-2012 | 2017-02-24T19:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171629.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00070-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967145 | 194 |

Create a new form to edit a player, create a state to show or hide the form along with the proper functions to pass the data from the current player in state. Use the set MongoDB method to properly update the player in the collection.
- [Instructor] In this video, we're finally ready…to create the Edit Player form.…So, the first thing you'll do…is go into the UI folder and right-click…and create and brand-new file,…and call it EditPlayer.jsx, like so.…Let's make our life a little bit easier,…and go into the New component,…and basically copy and paste everything that's in there.…Because if you look at the New…and the actual EditPlayer form,…it's going to be the exact same thing.…
We're just going to add a few things in there.…So let's refactor the New form into the EditPlayer form.…The very first thing, you don't need to have any of those.…We can remove that, make sure you change…your component to Edit.…Next thing, you want to edit the current function…that we have, and call it editPlayer.…And in this form, pretty much the exact same thing…will be in the object.…In fact, the only thing that we're going to add…in this object is an ID.…
And the reason why,…it's because that player has already been created,…so the only thing that we need…is basically grab that into that object,…

While Pat Robertson’s recent remarks on the Christian Broadcast Network’s The 700 Club that the United States should “take out” Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez certainly caught the media spotlight, the statement by the evangelical minister was only the latest episode in a long and troubled story. Since the 1970s Robertson has loyally served hawkish U.S. foreign policy objectives in Latin America and played a particularly pernicious role in the region. Christian organizations nation wide would do well to heed the history and to rigorously challenge Robertson on his record.
As a young man, Robertson dreamed about profitable business deals in Latin America. After graduating from college, he briefly worked for the W.R. Grace & Co. in New York. Robertson was specifically assigned to Grace’s Foreign Service School to analyze South American economic conditions in South America. There, Robertson collaborated with the company’s chief executives of the company. According to one of Robertson’s biographers, “during the months he worked with the Grace company he viewed Latin America as the ‘land of opportunity’ where he would find some way to enrich himself. Though Robertson left the company after only about nine months, he later achieved his dream by extending Christian televangelism to Central America. By the 1980s, Pat Robertson’s program “The 700 Club,” reached 3.1 million viewers in Guatemala. Robertson took a personal interest in the strife torn Central American nation, developing warm ties to General Efrain Rios Montt, a born again evangelical Christian. When Rios Montt took power in a military coup d’etat in March of 1982, Robertson immediately flew to Guatemala, meeting with the incoming president a scant five days after he came to power. Later, Robertson aired an interview with Rios Montt on “The 700 Club” and extolled the new military government.
Robertson’s visit came at a particularly sensitive time. Guatemala’s dirt poor indigenous peoples, who made up half the country’s population, were suffering greatly at the hands of the U.S. funded military. The armed forces had taken over Indian lands that seemed fertile for cattle exporting or a promising site to drill for oil. Those Indians who dared to resist were massacred. Rios Montt, a staunch anti-Communist supported by U.S. president Reagan, was determined to wipe out the Marxist URNG, the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Union rebels. However, according to Amnesty International, thousands of people with no connection to the armed struggle were killed by the regime. Not surprisingly, many Indians turned to armed resistance. To deal with the ever worsening situation, Rios Montt proposed a so called “guns and beans” campaign. Rios Montt explained the plan very succinctly: “If you are with us, we’ll feed you, if not, we’ll kill you.” For Robertson, however, Rios Montt’s extermination policy was of little account. Astonishingly, the televangelist wrote “I found [Rios Montt] to be a man of humilityimpeccable personal integrity, and a deep faith in Jesus Christ.”
One reason that Rios Montt may have appealed to Robertson was the dictator’s dislike of Catholic priests. In the 1980s, they had become an obstacle to the expansion of evangelical Protestantism. Working within indigenous communities, Catholic priests had been driven out or murdered. Protestant sects, on the other hand, allied to the Guatemalan military. They preached individual conversion, the importance of obedience to military and political authority, the merits of capitalism, and the value of inequality. Rios Montt’s own Church of the Word went so far as to define priests and nuns as the enemy. According to Walter LaFeber, a historian of Central America, three priests were killed within a thirty-six month period in just one province. With the Catholic Church out of the way, Rios Montt conducted a scorched earth policy. His forces massacred as many as 15,000 Indians. Whole villages were leveled and the army set up “Civilian Self-Defense Patrols” which forced 900,000 villagers to “voluntarily” aid police in tracking down suspects. Rios Montt created “model” villages, similar to concentration camps, which housed Indian refugees. However, when 40,000 survivors sought safety in Mexico, Guatemalan helicopters machine gunned the camps. Rios Montt justified the genocidal policy by claiming that the Indians were suspected of cooperating with the URNG, the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Union, or “might” cooperate in future. Amnesty International noted that extra judicial killings carried out the by the military “were done in terrible ways: people of all ages were not only shot to death, they were burned alive, hacked to death, disemboweled, drowned, beheaded. Small children were smashed against rocks or bayoneted to death.”
Far from denouncing such practices, Robertson rushed to defend Rios Montt. “Little by little the miracle began to unfold,” he wrote of the regime. “The country was stabilized. Democratic processes, never a reality in Guatemala, began to be put into place.” Robertson also praised Rios Montt for eliminating death squads, despite recent estimates that tens of thousands were killed by death squads in the second half of 1982 and throughout 1983. Most damning of all, even as Rios Montt was carrying out the extermination of the Mayan population, Robertson held a fundraising telethon for the Guatemalan military. The televangelist urged donations for International Love Lift, Rios Montt’s relief program linked to Gospel Outreach, the dictator’s U.S. church. Meanwhile, Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network reportedly sponsored a campaign to provide money as well as agricultural and medical technicians to aid in the design of Rios Montt’s first model villages. Rios Montt was ultimately overthrown in another military coup d’etat in August 1983.
Unfortunately, Robertson’s involvement in Guatemalan politics did not discredit his career. He also led efforts to back the Nicaraguan contras in the 1980s, who sought to overthrow the Sandinista regime. More recently, he has been an important backer of President Bush and currently commands a captive audience of one million U.S. television viewers. Judging from his recent remarks, Robertson has not chosen to re-evaluate his hawkish views. The latest target drawing Robertson’s fire is Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Unlike General Rios Montt, who came to power in a military coup, Chavez enjoys significant popular support. He has won two presidential elections, in 1998 and 2000, defeated an opposition led recall referendum in August 2004 and according to recent polls, has an approval rating of 70%. Not surprisingly, he is favored to win re-election in 2006. But to Robertson, the will of the Venezuelan people is of no account. Chavez, unlike Rios Montt, has not been compliant with U.S. interests. Not only has Chavez had the audaciousness to criticize the U.S. war in Iraq, but he also questions the fairness of Bush initiatives like the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. The world’s fifth largest oil producer, Venezuela has significant political and economic clout in the region, and Chavez has poured oil proceeds into health and education programs. To the ire of Robertson, Chavez has pursued an independent course by providing oil to Cuba. In exchange, the island nation has sent thousands of doctors who have assisted the Venezuelan poor. Unfortunately for Bush and the Christian right, Chavez has not been easily dislodged from power. Though the U.S. provided material assistance to Venezuelan opposition figures seeking to topple Chavez, a coup d’etat in April of 2002 proved a miserable failure when popular protest led to Chavez’s reinstatement. Since that time, Chavez has consolidated power and has become a hemispheric leader. Robertson’s attack surely will not alter the political equation in Venezuela. Though the televangelist has a presence in Venezuela, broadcasting in Spanish over Venezuelan station Televen, Venezuelan Protestants only number 2% of the population and are by and large a working class Chavez constituency. Nevertheless, Robertson’s remark has cast a pall over U.S.-Venezuelan relations, which had in recent months already hit a record low.
Though some Protestant ministers have criticized Robertson, arguing that the televangelist has demeaned the faith, this trickle needs to turn into a torrent. By all reckoning, Robertson’s career should have been destroyed as a result of his support for genocidal dictator Rios Montt. Now, Protestants nation-wide have the opportunity to voice their dissent over Robertson’s most recent outburst. Hopefully, they will act soon or Robertson will continue to make un-Christian statements that contribute to ill will between the United States and its neighbors. | <urn:uuid:d2db908f-f4d7-4aaf-8adc-647fe0f30a04> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | http://www.nikolaskozloff.com/blog/archives/2005-09 | 2020-04-09T04:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371829677.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200409024535-20200409055035-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.965331 | 1,871 |
August 8th is International Cat Day! Cats and cat lovers of the world, unite!
International Cat Day began in 2002, created by IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, whose mission is to “rescue and protect animals from around the world.”
How are you going to celebrate people’s favorite pet? Here are some ideas!
1. Get Your Hashtag Ready
If you’re a cat lover — and I know you are! — you’ll want to participate on this special day by dedicating your social media to cats!
Use #InternationalCatDay across all social networks when sharing your fave cat pics and videos with the public.
You may just get some likes, shares, and follows from cat lovers all over the world!
2. Throw An International Cat Party
This day is about celebrating cats from all over the world. Of course, the internationally recognized way to celebrate any occasion is with a great party!
Invite quiet kitty loving friends from foreign lands, turn on the nature channel, and have exotic treats ready for when your cat makes their grand entrance.
Of course, remember to social distance with any humans who may be present this year. And remember, there’s no shame in taking the party online for a feline Zoom session!
3. Call Your Cat New Fancy International Names
There’s no harm in giving your kitty friend a special international nickname for the day. It’s also a good time to learn some words in other languages, or even a translation of your cat’s real name.
For my guy, Whiskers, I’m going to call him Bigotes (Spanish for “whiskers”) or Barba (Spanish for “beard”). And just FYI, “Tiger” is “Hu” in Chinese, and “Neko” is “cat” in Japanese! Awesome!
Find name translations for your kitties. They may be a little confused at first but will probably just go with it. Cats are great like that!
4. Visit Your Local Cat Shelter In Person Or Online
Shelter cats are always looking for forever homes, and your local cat shelter is a great place to adopt a new best buddy!
A lot of shelters have procedures for operating during the pandemic, so call ahead make sure you know what to expect.
And if you want to be extra safe, check out the cats at your shelter online. That way, you can pick out the kitty you want to meet ahead of time or even share some of the other kitties who are looking for homes on your own social media pages.
5. Get Ready For An International Cat Agility Tournament
Have you heard of International Cat Agility Tournaments? If not, you have a lot of work to do.
A lot of tournaments are cancelled or postponed this year, but that’s no reason to slouch when next year is right around the corner!
ICAT says to play with your cat every day. Start there. Then work in the fiery rings and balance beams.
If you have a social, athletic kitty, a tournament would be a fun place to meet fellow cat lovers. Maybe you’ll even make an international friend!
6. Have A Cat Nap!
Your cat will be so happy if you curl up and snooze the day away with them. Cancel everything!
Dream of cats in distant lands while cuddling with your favorite cuddle partner.
Visit International Fund for Animal Welfare, too. They’re the people who created this cat holiday. They do amazing work. You can find out about what’s going on with cats all over the globe, sign petitions, and donate to their great cause. Save the cats!

Let us know in the comments below! | <urn:uuid:3a26d941-a1e1-4ab6-b12e-8e34da3ec976> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cattime.com/national-day/17233-international-cat-day | 2020-09-22T17:44:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206329.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922161302-20200922191302-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.919273 | 835 |
With a group picture of them as sophomore team captains in the background, Silsbee's trio of Patrick Reed, Seth Adams and Kanon Mackey signed their names on the dotted line Wednesday on National Signing Day.
For Reed, who made a late switch in the recruiting process from Texas State to the University of New Mexico, the day couldn't come soon enough.
"I honestly feel about 30 pounds lighter now that everything is official," a relieved Reed said. "When I went out there for my visit, everything was real nice from the school to the football team and it made me feel that's where I wanted to be."
Reed accumulated 4,812 yards and 36 touchdowns in his high school career, and was named the Beaumont Enterprise's 2013 Super Gold Offensive MVP. He will be in a battle with fellow New Mexico signee quarterback JaJuan Lawson of Casa Grande High School, Petaluma, Calif to be the Lobo's signal caller as a true freshman.
While Reed is heading out West, his old teammate Mackey is headed to the school that Reed spurned, Texas State. For Mackey, going four hours up the highway was a fairly easy decision since he fits into the Bobcats line scheme and has family ties to the school.
"I love the coaching staff from Texas State and my mother graduated from there so it seems like a natural fit to be a Bobcat," Mackey said. "I feel the fact I have played varsity for three years along with being pushed hard by my coaches here at Silsbee has prepared me well for the next level."
Mackey who committed to Texas State early in the process brings very impressive credentials to the table, he earned first-team District 21-3A three years in a row along with being name to the Super Gold First-Team the past two seasons.
Adams meanwhile decided to stay right here in Beaumont to attend Lamar University. The versatile nose guard received offers from multiple schools but always knew he wanted to stay close to home.
"Lamar is a great school and it gives me a chance to continue my passion of playing football while allowing my close family members the opportunity to continue watching me play," said Adams who was also named to the Super Gold team last season.
While the trio is very excited about playing in college, Wednesday was somewhat bittersweet as the group has been together on the gridiron since fifth grade.
"Of course I'm excited to be a Lobo but I am just as excited for Seth and Kanon," said Reed. "They are great guys and it has been a great experience to play with them since fifth grade and I am going to miss playing with them next year."
Adams added, "I'm glad this process is over with but I'm definitely going to miss playing with Patrick and Kanon next year since we all go way back and have won a lot of games together." | <urn:uuid:062e2132-af5e-4a71-88d5-452394014f2c> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/article/3-from-Silsbee-sign-5221633.php | 2015-07-30T18:23:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042987552.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002307-00017-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984955 | 599 |

Our cutlery range is designed to suit BUDGET or TOP END dining. Whether a plain style or just a little more fancy…
GD Products choose to stock high quality 18/10 stainless steel cutlery. Stainless steel used in cutlery is a composite of various steels and varies in terms of quality grades for different uses. The main ingredient in flatware is chromium and nickel which has been added to provide a resistance to corrosion.
Stainless cutlery that is 18/10 means that 18% is chromium and 10% is nickel. The higher the nickel content, the more protection the flatware has from corrosion.
Prices of stainless steel cutlery vary considerably depending on these specs and quality, so don’t be fooled into thinking you are buying the best quality if the nickel content is 0%.
It should be noted that even the best stainless steel cutlery is subject to occasional pitting and corrosion if not properly cared for. Dishwasher detergents tend to be harsh to stainless steel cutlery and that can sometimes cause blemishes. These can often be removed with a stainless steel cleanser, but pitting, chipping or rusting sometimes cannot be removed.
Signs of low-quality stainless are rough edges, lack of lustre, lightweight and lacking balance when handled.
GD Products only choose to stock quality genuine 18/10 cutlery ranges, be it high end dining or budget brunches we have your table cutlery covered. | <urn:uuid:b2b9fd44-b2db-49f4-8dc4-6fee22707c6b> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://gdproducts.com.au/cutlery/ | 2019-10-19T04:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986688826.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20191019040458-20191019063958-00462.warc.gz | en | 0.93203 | 310 |
It’s spring again, and we’re facing our fourth year with a yard of snow-weathered dirt.
We haven’t achieved our dream of an organic lawn without weed killers just yet, but we are still trying, and we think we’ve finally found the solution.
It hasn’t been easy. We’ve invested thousands in the yard, mainly to remove weeds from past failed efforts, and add more dirt.
Last fall, we raked off the top layer of practically our entire lawn after the crabgrass died … with backbreaking effort.
Crabgrass is a menace. It masquerades as grass, but it’s spiny and spreads from its center, smothering everything in its path.
How did the perfect green lawn we had when we moved in end up like this? We gave up on weed killer. That’s what!
Let me tell you, the weeds started to take over quickly.
At the beginning of last year, our organic lawn was a literal sea of dandelions. We hired a crew that hacked them out with a crowbar.
To our beautiful mess we added compost, and replanted what unfortunately turned into the aforementioned web of crabgrass.
In desperation, we hired a landscaping company to cut the weeds on a regular basis so as to maintain the illusion of a lawn.
We argued with our new guy all year about weed killer.
Of course, he wanted to use weed killer and give us a beautiful green lawn that he could be proud of.
Our response was always a gentle “no.”
This year, we are having that discussion again. Our guy tells me that Roundup isn’t harmful at all. That everyone uses it, and that it is the only way to have a green lawn.
Sorry, but Roundup is harmful, and it’s not true that it’s the only way to get a nice lawn. (Although, maybe it is partly true.) Our organic lawn may never be perfect. But at least it won’t be poisoned.
Keeping The Organic Lawn Dream Alive
I’ve seen a beautiful organic lawn that is free of weed killer. Thick, lush, dark green blades of perfect grass, as far as the eye could see.
It’s at the place where my organic gardening mentor keeps his garden. I asked him how he did it without using weed killer.
The answer, he said, is simple. The soil isn’t compacted.
Soft, healthy soil is the main answer to the question of how to grow a lawn organically.
It makes sense if you think about where weeds thrive. Empty scrabble lots, sidewalk cracks. Anywhere that nothing respectable will grow, weeds grow.
The second point is to plant a diverse set of grasses, effectively turning a monoculture into a biodiverse environment.
You see, nature doesn’t support monocultures of a single plant variety, which is why the weed killers are needed. To take an organic approach, you have to try to work with nature.
You will never see a perfect lawn in nature. They came from humans’ desire for aesthetic order.
Why I Considered Using Weed Killer
I have to be honest with you. I seriously considered allowing weed killer in my front yard and side yard, which is away from my garden, and more in the public eye.
I was lured by my lawn guy’s demurring about “letting him do his job and we’ll have beautiful grass.”
I was also fearing the great unknown of the upcoming year, and whether we’ll be able to finally achieve our dream, or face another failure.
However, as I was thinking about it, I happened to see our neighbor applying weed killer, and it reminded me of why I started my garden in the first place.
It was a darn organic gardener at the other neighbor’s who stopped ME from applying weed killer in year one.
That was when I was at the very beginning of freaking out about the onslaught of weeds in our yard.
I even wrote about it.
I also stopped by Home Depot, and saw the weed killers and chemically-treated seeds lining the shelves near the cash registers.
There aren’t any other solutions on offer! This is part of the reason it took me so long to find our solution, which I have detailed for you down below, step by step. It is also why I am writing this post.
So even though our dirt is thin and compacted by our 150-year-plus maple tree in the front yard, I am standing my ground.
My answer about weed killer is a resounding NO!
The Plight Of American Farmers
Unfortunately, monocultures like most Americans’ front yards are the biggest reason why our food system is in deep trouble.
We’re dependent on chemicals, more and more of them, to grow our food. And it’s going nowhere good, and fast!
Today I read the story of farmer Adam Chappell in Civil Eats, and it broke my heart.
His experience is part of a look-back at the last decade of farming in America, which involves genetically modified crops (GMOs), and more chemicals. (You may not be aware that GMOs don’t grow without the chemicals, and that the same companies sell both.)
The farmer said ten years ago, “GMOs were marketed as the environmentally friendly way to do it.”
You’ll even see that kind of marketing if you visit Monsanto’s website.
However, Adam said, “all we’ve done is created a treadmill that a lot of people are having a hard time getting off of.”
He goes on to describe how a particular weed, called Palmer amaranth, was crushing farmers’ yields.
At first, glyphosate, the primary active chemical in Roundup, killed Palmer amaranth.
But after six years it no longer worked.
Now they’ve added another chemical, a class of PPO-inhibitors. (Whatever that is. 🙂
But after three years, Palmer amaranth has won again, and the farmers were told to use more quantity of the same weed killers to try to solve the problem. Basically there is no solution.
Adam describes how farmers are desperate for solutions. They’re hardly making any money out there.
Thankfully, Adam found a couple of innovative agricultural scientists who’ve been proving the economic value of planting cover crops to bring life and diversity back to the fields.
Simply by adding a rotation of cereal rye, he’s been about to reduce chemical AND fertilizer use significantly.
Adam’s story gives us hope.
It’s All About The Soil
The microbiome refers to the billions and trillions of microbes that coexist with humans on earth. They are everywhere: inside our bodies, on our skin, and in the dirt.
When we use weed killers, pesticides, fungicides, and industrial fertilizers, it is killing billions of these microbes, killing the life in the soils.
These microbes are responsible for getting us the nutrition we depend on from our food. Microbes, plants, oxygen, water, and the sun all work together so the plants get what they need from the soil.
When you taste a vegetable grown in organic soils, you are tasting the life in the soil. It tends to be sweeter, more mineral, complex, and it could even surprise you.
If this isn’t something you’ve tasted recently, I encourage you to go to a farmer’s market and find produce grown by a small to medium sized farm.
Some large organic farms are following practices that mirror conventional farming, and these farms can sometimes give consumers a bad impression of organic food if the difference cannot be tasted.
As for our spring organic lawn solution without weed killers, we’ll be bringing in more topsoil because we believe soil compaction is our biggest impediment to an organic lawn.
It’ll be more money, and more backbreaking work. But nobody said it was going to be easy.
We’ll also aerate our soil to loosen it so that oxygen can get in and support the microbial activity down under.
Most importantly, there will be no poison on our lawn to kill the microorganisms and worms that we have cultivated in our dirt so far.
It takes three years to transition to an organic farm. Maybe it is the same with a lawn?
Over time, with any luck, we are betting that nature’s wisdom will take its effect.
Best OrganicLawn Seed, Organic Fertilizer & Organic Weed Preventer
It took us a long time to discover Jonathan Green, an American company that makes high quality grass seed, organic fertilizers, and organic weed preventers.
I am so happy to recommend them to you, because its clear this company has the right approach.
We have started this year with Jonathan Green’s 4-step New American Lawn Plan to create an organic lawn.
Step 1: Use an organic weed inhibitor
In March, we applied a product containing organic corn gluten to our dirt to inhibit weed seed germination. We used Espoma organic weed preventer, with is similar to what Jonathan Green offers.
It’s basically corn, which is kind of ironic, since corn is the biggest GMO crop in this country that has contributed to chemical use.
As soon as the weather warms, the weeds will start coming. So far, there’s not much on our lawn, but it’s still early days.
You do have to wait 6-8 weeks to plant grass after applying the inhibitor, so you have to time it right. Luckily we did. So we are off to a hopeful start.
Step 2: Condition the soil
After aerating and adding top soil, we’ll add Jonathan Green’s organic soil conditioner, which is designed to activate the soil’s biology. Aptly, it’s called Love Your Soil.
Step 3: Adjust pH and fertilize
These are synthetic products (technically chemicals) that Jonathan Green recommends as amendments when you are just getting started on a transition to an organic lawn.
Step 4: Use high quality grass seeds
We will use this Jonathan Green’s high quality grass seed. The product boasts roots that can grow up to 4 inches deep.
Deep roots are very important for soil health, since the roots can more easily find water, and deep roots create soil structure, which microbes like.
Jonathan Green also sells a crabgrass-specific germination inhibitor that can be used at the same time as grass seed.
Reviews are mixed on this one though, and better on a crabgrass inhibitor that goes on after germination, so we may go with the latter.
EXTRA STEP: Watch those weeds carefully
It should be noted that the crabgrass inhibitor I wrote about just above is referred to on the packaging as a pesticide, with chemical warnings and all.
I am really not a purist, and just a person looking for better solutions, so I am going to think further before using this one. I may, or I may not.
We may just go for the option of pulling weeds as they emerge. Maybe an hour a week of wholesome exercise will get the job done.
You may be wondering too, is there is a safe organic weed killer available?
The answer is not really. There is nothing to kill weeds on contact without killing your grass. But there are fairly effective organic certified weed killers that kill weeds and grass, so you have to be very careful when applying it.
All of Jonathan Green’s products are designed to work together, so I feel like this is a good plan. You can see all these products below, which are available at Amazon.
I will update you as to how it turns out.
If you have any experience growing an organic lawn without weed killer, we’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

Siemens has been selected as the technology partner for AUTOParkit™, helping to expand the company’s significant growth of its fully-automated parking garage systems. Siemens has been working with AUTOParkit since 2016 and will now provide a full-complement of advanced automation hardware, as well as electrification and digital tools.
AUTOParkit, designed and manufactured by Dasher Lawless Automation, is a USA-based OEM of fully-automated parking systems. The company is providing a necessary parking alternative for commercial development, which is being severely impacted by changes in the automotive transportation industry and continued market pressure to reduce space allocated for parking.
AUTOParkit has embraced Siemens technology in its growth model, realizing the benefits of an integrated portfolio, from power distribution and digital factory to building automation. AUTOParkit has calculated that with this technology, the fully-automated systems will achieve a 2:1 space savings at approximately the same cost as a conventional approach, as well as cost efficiencies in construction, and a 40 percent reduction in operational costs. AUTOParkit provides an 80 percent reduction in both energy consumption and carbon emissions and delivers an easy, safe and convenient user experience. It also captures an untapped source of data that links drivers with the fully-automated parking system, capable of connecting directly to their building automation systems.
AUTOParkit is also using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software from Siemens PLM. Plant Simulation is used for modeling, simulating, analyzing, visualizing and optimizing each parking system. Tecnomatix builds a virtual model to demonstrate the entire process. Each vehicle’s movement, simultaneous transfer and complete sequence of operations is created for design verification and performance calculations long before project construction.
“With our Siemens partnership, we have adopted nearly every Siemens product line, from industrial automation to electrification to building automation and digitalization,” says Christopher Alan, President and Founder of AUTOParkit. “As we continue to chase an estimated $100 billion market, it is important that our systems offer seamless integration. The Siemens portfolio is helping us realize the pivotal role advanced automation and software will play in shaping the future of commercial development by addressing the megatrends that challenge our cities, including urbanization, population migration, changing vehicle transportation demands and increasing environmental regulations,” adds Alan.
An AUTOParkit system is the integration of 12 subsystems, orchestrated together to park and retrieve vehicles. The system architecture is modular and scalable, so each site can be custom-fit with the proper amount of equipment to deliver peak-hour-demand.
Siemens hardware is used throughout the system, including switchgear, breakers, disconnects, contactors, relays and power supplies for managing the electrical load. Siemens industrial automation hardware is used to move vehicles vertically, horizontally and in some cases rotationally. Siemens automation components include Simatic programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Simatic human machine interface (HMI) panels, Simatic variable frequency drives (VFDs), safety PLCs, Safety I/O, wired switches, Profinet networking cabling, Scalance wireless, RFID and SCADA software. In addition to the long list of benefits of the Siemens automation platform, the regenerative braking of the VFDs feed power back into the line, thereby reducing operating costs.
“We are proud of our partnership with AUTOParkit, and this is an excellent example of adapting industrial automation to solve a complex commercial need,” says Raj Batra, President, Siemens Digital Factory Division, U.S. “This is a best practice example of how advanced automation and digitalization will be a disruptor in our society, and AUTOParkit is a true innovator in how they challenge the market and existing trends,” adds Batra.
AUTOParkit is in final construction of a 282-stall, two-level, subterranean parking garage at INclave, a new live-work-play development in Marina del Rey, California. The AUTOParkit System will allow residents to park and retrieve automobiles with the additional flexibility to store bicycles, motorcycles, watersports equipment or even personal storage units. The garage will also feature 19 automated electric vehicle charging stations. By the time the INclave development is completed, expected by early 2019, AUTOParkit will have 4 more developments under construction.
“The challenges facing cities today are immense – but so are the opportunities. Nowhere is that truer than in the U.S., where the average parking space costs $30,000 to construct, and the average parking space is more than 300 ft2 (a ¼ of the size of the average urban home),” says Julia Thayne, who leads Innovation and Technology for Cities at Siemens USA. “With technologies like AUTOParkit, cities can start to release spaces for cars to become spaces for homes and for new developments.”
About Siemens USA
Siemens Corporation is a U.S. subsidiary of Siemens AG, a global powerhouse focusing on the areas of electrification, automation and digitalization. One of the world’s largest producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, Siemens is a leading supplier of systems for power generation and transmission as well as medical diagnosis.

The main source of protein in our house is chicken. While it can be versatile, it can also be incredibly boring, dry, and tasteless. Sometimes I let it cook all day in the slow cooker and then we shred it for tacos or burritos; other times I nestle it among lemons, garlic, and white wine and bake it. We love to use the grill, but when the weather isn’t so nice outside, we look to our indoor methods for preparing it…
This recipe for Asian-inspired chicken received rave reviews from my husband. He actually compared it to the sweet & savory sauces used by fast-food Asian establishments common in food courts here in the US. I’m sure their sauces are pre-made and laden with MSG, so if you’re a fan of those China Max type of restaurants but not their dietary facts, you can now make a healthy replica of their chicken at home. Next time I may add some red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat.
The marinade is a great combination of flavors that really spruces up an otherwise bland piece of poultry. I let our thighs marinate for about an hour, but of course if you’re trying to get dinner on the table quickly, you could just put them in the oven upon assembly.
I served these with brown rice and steamed carrots and snap peas. It was quite a hit and certain to be a new addition to our dinner rotation.

I recently worked with a lovely couple wanting to refresh their living area. The usual procedure at an initial consultation is for the man to be interested in the physical spaces of a home but as soon as I pull out a colour chart his eyes glaze over the fidget’s begin and a statement along the lines of this generally follows ………. ”this is your department honey have what ever you like, I’ve got to go” Which usually suits us all!!
However this particular situation was starkly different the lady of the house was blind – her husband was her eyes. So the reasons for their product choices were based on how they felt. They had selected a deliciously textured soft Cavalier Bremworth 100% wool loop pile carpet, so if FELT great – 1 box ticked for the lady. Colour choice was now hubbies department he selected Pure White – I suspect it was the sample on top of the pile!

All of them are by Angelo Pennetta and all of them are lovely – I especially love this one of Lily on a kitchen bench (see below). And I can’t believe they didn’t want to use the above one. I like it a lot. It makes me wonder how they edit images out of shoots for editorials – I could never be ruthless enough. If I ever had a magazine it would probably be three times as long as any other because I wouldn’t be able to cull the images down. The whole idea kind of reminds me of that scene in The September Issue where Grace wants to put in all those beautiful shots, and Anna keeps taking them out.

Why do Catholic Bishops promote & aid pro-abortion, pro-homosexual Senator Gil Cedillo?
Posted on 04/07/2004 9:59:58 PM PDT by Stephen25
The man who is leading the fight with Schwarzenegger to give licenses to illegal aliens, State Senator Gil Cedillo, is using Catholic churches to rally his supporters. Cedillo and his group are selective about who attends these meetings on Catholic church property. Some bishops imply/promote the falsehood that 'charity to the poor' requires undermining our borders and sacrificing our sovereignty. This couldnt be further from the truth; and as a lifelong Catholic, I don't appreciate misguided clergy promoting socialist and leftist policies and politicians on church property.
The following outlines Cedillo's voting record. His beliefs are 100% contrary to all Catholic doctrine regarding abortion, stem cell research, parental authority over their own children, homosexuality, and other issues of moral conscience. I compiled the voting information from www.savecalifornia.com, and put it all on one printable page so people can be properly informed about Cedillo.
The Catholic church is obviously favoring and aiding this man by giving him unfettered access to Catholic church facilities; While at the very same time, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Pope himself are adamantly admonishing all 'pro-abortion', and pro stem-cell research politicians. The Catholic bishops owe their members an explanation as to this hypocrisy and shameful promotion of this senator, who consistently votes against Catholic Doctrine. Go to www.save187.com for a schedule of upcoming 'Cedillo SB1160 rallies' to be held at Catholic churches.
Any thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Bills that Senator Gilbert Cedillo voted 'yes' on:
AB 17 (Kehoe) Forcing State Contractors To Fund Homosexual 'Marriage'
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on October 12, 2003.
SUMMARY: AB 17 forces state contractors (private businesses and nonprofit organizations that provide goods or services to the state) to subsidize spousal-equivalent benefits for primarily homosexual "domestic partners" or else lose their state contracts. If passed, AB 17 would prohibit state agencies from contracting with businesses and non-profit organizations, such as the Salvation Army, that "discriminate" in the benefits they offer the partners of homosexual employees as compared to the benefits offered to employee spouses. This bill is about promoting homosexual 'marriage' and punishing private companies and ministries that disagree.
AB 196 (Leno) $150,000 Fines Against Bible Bookstores, Boy Scouts Councils and Others Who Won't Hire Transsexuals
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on August 2, 2003.
SUMMARY: AB 196 creates harsh government fines of up to $150,000 against property owners and businesses - including religious businesses and Boy Scout councils - that won't hire or rent to transsexuals or drag queens. There is no exemption for religious citizens. The transsexual core of the bill is based on the anything-goes definition of Penal Code 422.76, which defines "gender" as identity, appearance, or behavior, whether or not that "identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the victim's sex at birth."
AB 205 (Goldberg) Gay 'Marriage' Rejecting the Vote of the People
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on September 19, 2003.
SUMMARY: AB 205 would award ALL the rights of marriage under California law to homosexual "partners." This bill reverses the vote of the people on marriage. In March 2000, 61.4% of Californian voters said they want to protect marriage rights for only a man and a woman, as it should be.
AB 458 (Chu) Transsexual Indoctrination of Foster Parents
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on September 6, 2003.
SUMMARY: Similar to AB 2651 last year, AB 458 requires foster parents to support homosexual, bisexual and transsexual behavior and expression among foster children. This bill also requires mandatory training of foster parents to indoctrinate them to support any sexual behavior of foster children.
AB 1082 (Laird) Public Employees 'Domestic Partner' Health Benefits
HISTORY: Passed the Assembly on August 28, 2003.
SUMMARY: This bad bill would award special privileges to local agencies that provide "domestic partners" benefits and want to join California's Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Under current law, CalPERS definition of benefits will control and the local agency that is enrolling will lose "domestic partners' benefits which aren't part of CalPERS. AB 1082 would allow the agency's previous definition of domestic partner benefits to control, awarding "domestic partners" potentially broader benefits than currently allowed under state law
AJR 2 (Jackson) Unlimited Abortions
STATUS: Adopted by both houses of the California Legislature.
HISTORY: Passed the Senate on June 16, 2003.
SUMMARY: This resolution declares the State Legislature's support for the infamous Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court that declared abortion to be a constitutional "right," allowing unlimited abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. The most unfortunate Supreme Court decision in history that is responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn babies, Roe should be mourned, not celebrated.
SB 71 (Kuehl) School sex surveys without parental permission
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on October 1, 2003.
SUMMARY: SB 71 creates a new system of "comprehensive sexual health education" for children in kindergarten through 12th grade. Materials used in the course will have to promote the transsexual and homosexual agenda so that they will be "appropriate for use" with pupils of all "genders" and "sexual orientations." SB 71 undermines the value of marriage by teaching respect for "committed relationships." This bill also undermines parental rights by removing a provision that allows local school districts the option of requiring positive parental consent. This bill will not protect students' sexual health, and it certainly won't protect them from the emotional damage caused by sexual activity outside of marriage.
SB 85 (Torlakson) Undermining Marriage: 'Domestic Partners' Benefits Expanded to All Counties
HISTORY: Passed the Senate on September 2, 2003.
SUMMARY: Currently the State allows several counties to undermine marriage by awarding spousal-equivalent retirement and death benefits to primarily homosexual "domestic partners." SB 85 would allow all 58 California counties to give away these spousal rights, further cheapening the value of marriage.
SB 322 (Ortiz) Harvesting Unborn Children / Stem Cell Research Board
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on September 24, 2003
SUMMARY: Existing law authorizes the State to review and authorize stem cell research projects, including embryonic stem cell research. This bill creates a specific board within the California Department of Health Services to "review" these research proposals, in essence, becoming a state advocate for killing precious little human beings for the sake of "research."
SB 719 (Kuehl) Silencing Free Speech on Campus
HISTORY: Passed the Senate on September 11, 2003.
SUMMARY: This bill would target the free speech of teachers, students and parents on public school campuses by creating a school "safety plan" to reduce "bullying, teen relationship violence, and discrimination and harassment." This bill is unnecessary since school violence is already illegal and administrators already have the power to stop physical misconduct. What SB 719 is really about is using the subjective terms "discrimination" and "harassment" to advance the homosexual/transsexual agenda by silencing those who disagree.
SB 771 (Ortiz) Harvesting Unborn Children / Taxpayer-Funded Stem Cell Research
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on September 24, 2003.
SUMMARY: Under SB 771 the State will use taxpayer money to establish a registry of stem cells obtained from embryos (unborn human beings) or other sources that are available to researchers. Taxpayers will be forced to support the creation and destruction of human life for this kind of "research."
SB 932 (Bowen) Preventing Sellers of Hospitals from Preserving Pro-life Standards
STATUS: Signed by Gov. Gray Davis on July 14, 2003.
SUMMARY: SB 932 prohibits nonprofit hospitals, such as prolife Catholic hospitals, from preventing a purchaser of their facility from performing abortions under SB 932. This bill violates the private property rights of hospitals and freedom of conscience on abortion.

answer: Mahoney is the bishop in charge, and he is now the leader of the "modernist" American catholic church.
Wait till he dies/retires/is exposed and his successor will have to clean up the place, like Cardinal George has to clean up after Bernadin, and Bishop O'Malley has to clean up after Law.
Even the Pope says that some bishops need to be converted to follow Christ:
Reform Calls for Holy Bishops, Says John Paul II
Addresses a Group of Visiting U.S. Prelates
VATICAN CITY, APRIL 2, 2004 (Zenit.org).- The necessary reform of the Church in the United States calls above all for the "interior renewal" and "conversion" of bishops, says John Paul II.
In a meeting today with the pastors of the ecclesiastical provinces of Atlanta and Miami, the Pope indicated the first challenge that the U.S. Catholic community faces, shaken by the scandals attributed to priests, is "the renewal of the episcopal office."
"The history of the Church demonstrates that there can be no effective reform without interior renewal. This is true not only of individuals, but also of every group and institution in the Church," the Holy Father told the bishops, who were on their five-yearly visit to Rome.
"In the life of every bishop," he continued, "the challenge of interior renewal must involve an integral understanding of his service as 'pastor gregis' (pastor of the flock), entrusted by Christ's will with a specific ministry of pastoral governance in the Church and the responsibility and apostolic power which accompany that ministry."
Therefore, the "apostolic authority" of the bishop "must be seen first and foremost as a religious witness to the risen Lord, to the truth of the Gospel, and to the mystery of salvation present and at work in the Church," the Pope said.
"The renewal of the Church is thus closely linked to the renewal of the episcopal office," he said. "Since the bishop is called in a unique way to be an 'alter Christus' (another Christ), a vicar of Christ in and for his local Church, he must be the first to conform his life to Christ in holiness and constant conversion."
The Holy Father added: "Only by himself putting on the mind of Christ and acquiring a fresh, spiritual way of thinking, will he [the bishop] be able to carry out effectively his role as a successor of the apostles, the guide of the faith community, and the coordinator of those charisms and missions which the Holy Spirit constantly pours out upon the Church."

(I'd rather be sleeping. Let's get this over with so I can go back to sleep!)
I am sorry about the state of your diocese. I know that most of this problem lies with Mahoney who will do nothing to stop it. Nevertheless, you should not be silent.
If I were you I would go to a group of active pro lifers - if you don't know of one, try going to area abortion clinics on a Saturday morning and speaking to some of the folks there - you'll either meet an area leader or be given the name/number of one. Try sticking to folks with Rosary beads as they'll be most likely to help you.
Then make plans to have at least 20 people outside with signs and flyers at every church Cedillo is speaking at. Do not mention the drivers license issue - people of good will can disagree on that one. Likely many people attending the church (and maybe even some prolifers) will be in favor of the illegal aliens having licenses. Of course, you may want to call the pastors of these churches and let them know they shouldn't have pro abortion politicians speaking on church property. It's possible, though not likely, they've never thought about it.
In Philadelphia, pro-aborts are not allowed to speak on church property, but in the last election Ed Rendell did appear at at least one area church. It was kept very quiet so that there wouldn't be time to involve the cardinal. We still had time to gather a hundred or so protestors to greet him. It was heartbreaking to see so many active parishoners go in to support Rendell. But there will be people who turn away and some may even join you, and you will feel strengthened. It is important to take a stand for life in the culture of death.
God bless you and keep you and may St. Michael the Archangel defend you in battle.

If Mahoney is his bishop, expect worse.
Mahoney is a cardinal and a lot of us have doubts over whether or not he's actually Catholic.

(Proverbs 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.)
It is also many denominations.
I sent letters to 150 Pastors of various denominations including the local Catholic church and the K OF C. I also ran to ads in the local paper. This was done in trying to form a local chapter of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.
This all happened 5 weeks ago. Todate, there has been one response from a woman who said her pastor told her to check it out.
I just wonder if these Churches and denominations represent what the Lord speaks about as being "luke war and spitting out".
Only tiemwill tell.

What is really worse about Mahoney is that he really wants to be the next pope. That he actually believes that he would make a great pontiff.

What area of Pennsylvania do you live in?
Mailing all those letters was an awful lot of work. If you feel up to it, you may try faxing a bulletin announcement to at least some of those churches. You can fax from your computer and send them all at once. All it takes then is a church secretary to who'll put it in the bulletin. Include your email address as a contact. There are usually one or two active (or people who feel they should be active)pro life people in a parish. If you can have one or two people in a few different churches that you can count on, you've got a group.
Unfortunately, sending out a cattle call is going to get you a lot of sad, lonely, often old people who really can't be much help to the pro life movement except perhaps as prayer supporters (and some guaranteed time off in purgatory for the rest of you).

Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate it. I hope each of you continues the fight and also encourage others to do the same. we have to somehow make people care.

City of Waukesha committees give shared health clinic their approval
Common Council will vote on recommendation at May 6 meeting
The city of Waukesha took the steps Tuesday night to move forward on the approval of a cost-savings shared health clinic with two other governmental entities.
This occurred with the city’s Finance and Human Resources committees making a recommendation for the Common Council to approve the intergovernmental agreement for a joint medical center with the School District of Waukesha and Waukesha County.
Waukesha’s Common Council will vote on the recommendation at its May 6 meeting.
With many Common Council members in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting who issued their support of the agreement, City Administrator Ed Henschel said he expects it to pass.
The school district and county already approved the agreement at meetings last month and for the health-care provider Healthstat to operate the facility. The North Carolina-based provider was selected by the city, county and school district earlier this year after a lengthy vetting process.
All city, county and school district employees and their families would be able to use the facility, which will be located in the offices of the county division of public health at 615 W. Moreland Blvd. on the Waukesha County Courthouse campus.
Waukesha County Human Resources Manager Jim Richter said the county has budgeted money for building renovations that could start very soon.
The clinic can be used for services such as primary care, wellness, pharmacy, occupational medicine and health assessments. Emergency room services are not available at the clinic.
The original timeline called for the city to vote on the intergovernmental agreement last month.
But the council held off on a vote after former Mayor Jeff Scrima brought in representatives from ProHealth Care to a meeting a few weeks earlier saying why a shared health clinic with Healthstat wasn’t the best option.
Scrima also said in an email that employees would be required to use the clinic (which wasn't true) and that ProHealth Care would match the savings of Healthstat in an alternative proposal.
ProHealth Care was part of the bidding process, but Henschel said Tuesday their proposal was ranked last when a committee reviewed the 12 providers.
Richter also said that ProHealth Care, like the other 11 providers that were looked at, had the option to provide alternatives.
Employees and their families are not required to use the clinic or they could use both the clinic and their own doctor, Henschel has said. A patient record at the clinic can also be sent to an employee's primary care physician.
The city administrator also said Tuesday night that he has not heard from ProHealth Care since the March 4 Common Council meeting and that ProHealth Care indicated that using their facilities would be mandatory.
Alderwoman Kathleen Cummings, who had made a referral for Henschel to review an alternative proposal from ProHealth Care last month, was upset that her request was not heard. Cummings is also a county board supervisor and one of four who voted against the shared health clinic at the county board meeting last month.
“I don’t think we’ve done our due diligence,” Cummings said Tuesday. “I find that disappointing.”
Henschel has previously said it violated his ethical duties to reopen the process.
“This was diligently reviewed,” said an adamant Henschel, who gave an overview of the agreement at the beginning of Tuesday's meeting. “We’ve given you the best proposal with the greatest cost savings to the city.”
According to estimates provided by Healthstat, the onsite clinic could save a total of close to $8 million over the length of the joint agreement, which is for five years. The county is expected to save about $3 million, the school district $3.4 million and the city $1.2 million.
Henschel said the savings are based on 50 percent participation over the five years and that if more people use the clinic, the entities will see more in savings.
“I’m hoping it will be more than that,” Henschel said. “That’s a conservative estimate.”
Significantly lower co-pays is one cost-saving measure employees will see if they use the clinic, which will be set up so the employees of the three entities can use their insurance there.
The cost of operations would be shared in proportion to the eligible members of each entity with the school district paying 44 percent, county 40 and city 16.
“This is something that just didn’t happen overnight,” Alderman Andy Reiland said. “This was fully vetted by the three governmental bodies and provides a (cost-saving) option to employees and their families in a day when all costs continue to rise. It’s refreshing that these three bodies have united for families to manage the costs and it will end up being a tax savings.”
Henschel said on Tuesday that because the city did not vote along with the school district and county last month, the timeline for the clinic to open has now moved from Sept. 1 to Nov. 1.
David Young, a representative from Healthstat, said Tuesday local medical staff will be hired to operate the facility.
With the city looking like it will soon join the school district and county in approving the clinic, Alderman Steve Johnson called it “a win-win for everyone involved.”
Alderman Terry Thieme said his employer, Kohl’s, utilizes a health clinic for its employees and urges the council to vote for it in a couple weeks.
“We’re always trying to find ways to save taxpayer dollars,” Thieme said. “And this is definitely a benefit to the taxpayers."

A frequently asked question by visitors to Cancun is which currency should I take with me to Cancun?.
Well, both Mexican Pesos and US Dollars are accepted in all shops and restaurants. Neither Euros, British Pounds nor Canadian Dollars are widely accepted, but can be exchanged for Pesos easily enough in the resort.
If you are visiting from the USA, then I would suggest that you use US Dollars for most of your transactions. I would offer the following advice, though:
i) If you use US Dollars, you will use them at a marginally worse exchange rate than the official rate. For example, at the time of my visit in February 2006 the official exchange rate was 10.6 Pesos to the US Dollar. Shops and restaurants accepted payment in US Dollars at an exchange rate of 10 Pesos to the Dollar. By using Dollars, you are therefore worse off by 6%. For most purchases, this will not be a huge loss. Only if you are making large purchases worth several hundred Dollars would I suggest paying in Pesos.
ii) It would be a good idea to carry small amounts of Pesos with you. I once saw a bus driver arguing with an American tourist because he was trying to pay his bus fare in US Dollars, while the buses (I guess), must only accept Mexican Pesos. Even though this tourist had more than enough money to pay his fare, he had no Pesos at all.
If you are travelling not from the USA, then I would recommend using the numerous ATMs to withdraw Mexican Pesos as you need them.
Be careful not to change more Pesos than you need, as the exchange rate for changing Pesos back into other currencies is very unfavourable.
I would also advise against using the exchange desk in the airport arrivals hall as, again, the exchange rate is unfavourable. Instead, if you need Pesos upon arrival, go to the departures terminal and use one of the ATMs in there. | <urn:uuid:3e3cea96-6dac-4add-bc34-80013778b461> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.virtualtourist.com/hotels/North_America/Mexico/Estado_de_Quintana_Roo/Cancun-959663/Hotels_and_Accommodations-Cancun-Hostel_Kankun-BR-1.html | 2014-07-23T20:52:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997883466.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025803-00009-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97305 | 407 |

Medicine bundle of jet arrowhead, beads of turquoise and spiny oyster shell, all tied with sinew.
Paula says - "From earthy to sunny to peachy, this horse fetish carving is like life's many changes."
Dime in above photo shows scale of this horse fetish.
Carved from serpentine rock with inlaid eyes of turquoise.
Every fetish and every stone is different and has its own unique features. This fetish is made from a stone with rich earth tones and unique layering making his personality and power really stand out.
What is a Fetish?
A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. Read more about fetishes.
Many fetishes have a medicine bundle or adornment tied on the back of the horse that often consists of coral seed beads, shell heishi, feathers and other stone pieces. The style and detail of carving varies among artists but usually includes detail on the face, ears, tail and mane. Often the eyes and other spots of adornment on the horse are inset pieces of contrasting stones such as turquoise, coral and others. Read more about stones.
The horse is an animal of freedom and the Horse Fetish has the power of healing, strength and safe movement. | <urn:uuid:b006e952-2c29-45ed-9d16-6c71728eaa2e> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.horsekeeping.com/jewelry/fetish/FH318-serpentine-laiwakete.htm | 2018-03-24T21:45:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257651007.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324210433-20180324230433-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.932937 | 301 |

By Olusegun Emmanuel, Abuja.
President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation into the bomb explosion that rocked the city of Kano in which five persons died and many others injured.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati on his twitter handle, said the President issued the directives at a security meeting with Service Chiefs in Abuja on Monday.
Jonathan, who returned from a regional security parley held last Saturday in Paris hosted by French President Francois Hollande at Elysee Palace, also charged Nigerians to remain united against the Boko Haram insurgents, whom he referred to as “al Qaeda of West Africa.”
The Monday meeting with security chiefs reviewed the security challenges in the country especially as it relates to the ongoing rescue efforts on the over 200 schoolgirls abducted April 14 from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State.
Abati in his twitter handle wrote: “Kano Blast: President Jonathan summoned meeting of security chiefs today (Monday) on arrival in Abuja after Paris Summit.
“President Jonathan today ordered thorough investigations and security chiefs to act quickly.
“President Jonathan calls on Nigerians to remain united against the al Qaeda of West Africa alias Boko Haram and all enemies of the state.”
The security meeting was attended by Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Ademola Amosu; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant- General Kenneth Minimah; Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Abubakar and the Director-General of State Security Service, (SSS) Ita Ekpeyong.

At the end of the summit, Nigeria and the other neighbouring countries “agreed to build analysis and response capabilities that will contribute to enhancing the security of all populations and the rule of law in the areas affected by Boko Haram’s terrorist acts.
They also agreed “to immediately on a bilateral basis implement coordinated patrols with the aim of combating Boko Haram and locating the schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State.
They are also “to establish a system to pool intelligence in order to support this operation, establish mechanisms for information exchange on trafficking of weapons and bolster measures to secure weapons stockpiles while also establishing mechanism for border surveillance.
The communiqué issued after the meeting added that countries are to establish an intelligence pooling unit, create a dedicated team to identify means of implementation and draw up, during a second phase, a regional counter-terrorism strategy in the framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission. | <urn:uuid:875b4e1b-84cd-42ad-8a6b-99f6d51f736a> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://newsinvestigatorsng.com/jonathan-orders-probe-into-kano-bomb-blast/ | 2022-12-03T09:27:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710926.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203075717-20221203105717-00044.warc.gz | en | 0.949537 | 613 |
There’s been a lot of renewed chatter in recent weeks about sex abuse within the Catholic church after more than 300 priests from Pennsylvania were accused of sexually assaulting countless victims, many of whom were young boys.
Last week, Louisiana’s “family values” Attorney General Jeff Landry weighed in on the matter when he said his office couldn’t possibly investigate the Catholic church for sex abuse crimes because, well, he just couldn’t. OK?
Landry, who doesn’t want anyone to know he has a gay brother, released a statement on Friday saying he totally supports going after child molesters. But, also, he’s a Catholic. So what’s a guy to do, right?
“As a practicing Catholic, I wholeheartedly support efforts to root out pedophile priests and end the horrific misconduct by Church authorities,” he said. “Those who sexually abused children and those who covered up their despicable acts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
He just doesn’t want anything to do with it. Even though he’s the state’s Attorney General.
Instead, Landry’s office said anyone who may have been raped and/or sexually abused by a priest should contact their local law enforcement instead and let the little guys handle it.
But here’s where the story gets even weirder.
After the Times-Picayune reported on Landry’s remarks, the 47-year-old lawmaker went on the defensive, saying that “as a father and a Catholic” he was “deeply offended” by people’s criticisms of him.
“This article by the Times-Picayune is pure unadulterated religious bigotry which we have not seen in this State since the hey-day of the Ku Klux Klan,” Landry said in a statement.
Wait… what? How did we go from child molesting priests to the KKK?
“Claiming that I, or any other head of a law enforcement agency, will cover up criminal conduct because of our religious beliefs is bigotry, plan and simple,” Landry added.
Got that, folks? Forget, for a moment, any children who may have been raped by priests and clergymen. Jeff Landry and his fellow Catholics are the real victims here.
In addition to standing tall for religious freedom, Landry has made it his personal mission to chip away LGBTQ rights for years.
In 2010, he supported a constitutional Amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. In 2012, he campaigned to rid the University of Louisiana’s LGBTQ Studies minor. And in 2016, he won a court battle against the state’s Democratic Governor to void existing LGBTQ protections for state employees.
In his statement, Landry also noted that his office “has not received one single complaint against any clergyman of the Catholic Church in the State of Louisiana.”
Probably because he told people not to contact him with those sorts of complaints.
And he concluded by saying his critics “should be ashamed” of themselves and “should apologize to all Catholics within Louisiana.”
OK, Jeff, we’ll get right on that. | <urn:uuid:e960c73b-8c57-4b5f-904c-a9b171dc925e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://lgbtdaily.com/this-antigay-lawmaker-with-a-gay-brother-says-investigating-catholic-church-for-sex-abuse-is-bigotry/ | 2018-11-19T14:04:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745762.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119130208-20181119151840-00013.warc.gz | en | 0.971255 | 688 |
For the last several years I have been practising mindfulness and it has had a huge effect on my life. Like many others I juggle work with a family and was often overwhelmed by all the things that needed to be done. Mindfulness has certainly reduced my stress, the children have even noticed how much calmer I have become. I have seen the benefits for myself - reduced stress, being able to respond and not react in difficult situations, truly appreciating things in the moment, developing compassion for self and others, developing an overall sense of peace, calm and wellbeing as well as many other numerous benefits. Because of these I am not only motivated to continue practising myself, but also want to share this with others. I am now an accredited Breathworks mindfulness teacher (www.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk) and offer their courses in Mindfulness for Stress and Mindfulness for Health to groups and individuals.
Every moment, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love.

I came to coaching through studying for a course in counselling skills and then a great deal of subsequent self-development. I soon realised that we don’t need to wait until people are in distress and need therapeutic interventions, but that we can actively prevent a lot of distress from happening in our lives by increased self-awareness. Coaching creates the space for us to be listened to and be heard, to help us find our own solutions so we can move from where we are now to where we want to be. Life is complex and demanding and has become increasingly frantic, and we often forget about the things that keep us positive, motivated and excited – these are often sacrificed for the day to day grind of meeting other people’s expectations and getting things done. Coaching for me helps redress the balance and puts our own needs and wants higher up the agenda.
Through further study in mindfulness, coaching and mentoring, I have incorporated this learning into my professional and personal life. I continue to work part time in academia doing research and teaching in health sciences. As a manager I use coaching in my management style and in teaching I facilitate groups and work as a wellbeing tutor and personal tutor. Mindfulness is introduced to students as part of their personal and professional development to increase wellbeing. I also work as a coach and mentor for the University wide scheme. In my personal life I use these skills to create the right work/life balance for me which has led to me setting up my own business.

Mumbai/New Delhi, March 21 (IANS) Enjoying a splash of colours, lazing in the intoxication of bhang (a special drink), feasting on traditional sweets and delicacies, and all this with friends makes Holi a truly exciting time for celebrities.
While the whole country is gearing up to revel in the spirit of festivities of Holi, some of the Bollywood stars and small screen celebrities have their plans in place to make the most of the day.
However, actors like Urmila Matondkar and Amrita Arora will stay away.
Shabana Azmi: It would be as usual an open house for friends and family for Holi at my parents' home in Janki Kutir. There will be a generous flow of non-toxic colours, dancing, singing, and food - a long-standing tradition in our house as part of India's Ganga-Jumna tehzeeb.
Shefali Shah: My husband Vipul and I will be a having a get-together at home. We'll have close friends over. Lots of food, bhang, out-of-tune karaoke, dumb charade and lots and lots of laughter.
Tusshar Kapoor: I stopped playing Holi years back. But this year I'll have to attend the Holi bash, especially arranged for my new film "One Two Three".
Malaika Arora: I won't be playing Holi this year as I'm holidaying in Dubai.
Nandana Sen: On Holi, I'll be travelling back from Khajuraho to Mumbai. I'll be coming home just for a day. I'll be sad missing Holi, though. It's my absolute favourite among the holidays on our calendar.
Koena Mitra: I haven't played Holi in the last few years. This year, I might go for a Holi bash being hosted by a dear friend. Since it's inside the house and only close friends are invited, it is safe. I'll therefore go.
Celina Jaitley: I'm shooting on the day before Holi, so no fun. But I'll definitely put 'gulaal' (coloured powder) on my buddies.
Ravi Kissan: 'Arrey bhaiya', making bhang with my own hands and giving it to friends. That's my pleasure for Holi that no one can take away.
Anuraag Sinha: This is my first Holi right after the release of my first film "Black & White". I'm going to freak out with friends and family.
Urmila Matondkar: I'll be working on Holi day. So, no Holi for me.
Manoj Bajpai: I don't celebrate Holi. I hate being dirty with colour and mud.
Riya Sen: I'm not sure I'll be playing Holi or not. It'd depend on my mood.
Amrita Arora: I'll be at home on Holi. Who wants to step out?
Mahesh Bhatt: On March 22, my friend and mentor U.G. Krishnamurthy died. I don't play Holi. I'm going to Bangalore to release a book of mine that's been translated into Kannada.
Jiah Khan: I'm shooting and I can't play Holi. I'd have loved to get splashed in colour! Holi is one of the most beautiful festivals of our country and it symbolises our zest for fun.
Aryan Vaid: I'm not a big fan of Holi. I'll be in Pune with friends, considering it's a long weekend.
Sonu Nigam: I am really excited to celebrate Holi this time with my son Nivaan as it is his first Holi ever.
Tulip Joshi: We will be feasting on traditional Indian food and will play with lots of colours. Bhang will definitely be a part of my celebrations and later in the evening we might watch a movie or go out.
Chetan Hansraj: I am a complete Holi freak. I have been playing Holi for the past three years and I love it! This time I am throwing a paintball party at my place and will invite my friends over.
Bobby Darling: I don't play Holi. If I play this time, it will be almost after 13 years. Since I am going to Lucknow for a show for the next two days, I will be there for Holi.
Amrapali Gupta: I enjoy the drinks associated with this day like 'bhang' and 'thandai' (traditional Indian drinks) and will certainly have them this time too. | <urn:uuid:ee2f67fc-d032-4aa0-9a3c-09a90f93639e> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.bollywood.com/what-stars-are-doing-holi | 2016-05-05T15:40:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860127496.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161527-00007-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951242 | 1,012 |
At 17.00 UTC Bobst Group Armor Lux started racing again exactly 22 hours after arriving at Port Stanley. There was 25 knots of wind and Bernard is back in attack mode. "The guys here have worked tirelessly without a break. I have to hand it to them. Now it's only by getting back out there will I see if the repair holds." At the last poll Bobst Group Armor lux was 225 miles behind Solidaires.
Both Simone Bianchetti on Tiscali and Graham Dalton on Hexagon rounded Cape Horn yesterday within two hours of each other. The wind was blowing around 30 knots with good visibility. Hexagon was the first to round at 18:00 GMT. An observer at Cape Horn (aboard a Russian survey vessel) sent a short email to say that he had Hexagon in sight and could see that the boat was sailing under headsail alone. He said he could see the broken boom on deck. Dalton was in communication with his shore team making plans to rendezvous later in the evening to fix his broken boom. Earlier he sent an email describing a huge knockdown a few miles west of Cape Horn. "A huge breaking wave hit Hexagon broadside and rolled her over," he wrote. "We did not roll all the way over, but it seemed like we were turned upside down before Hexagon swung back upright again. Everything stowed in the cabin leapt up into the air and hurtled across the small space to land in a mess somewhere else." The knockdown created a mess below, but it was nothing compared to what awaited the skipper when he went on deck. "The carnage on deck was worse than that below. The force of the water had picked up the broken boom and carried it down the deck, smashing it into one of Hexagon's twin wheels. The wheel was broken and the damage was stopping the wheel from moving, thus prohibiting the autopilot from working. I had to work hard in the dark and cold to get the boom out of the wheel and get the autopilot working again." Fortunately he was able to sort things out and carried on to round the Horn and rendezvous with his shore team. The race management team do not have precise details of where Hexagon plans to stop. It's largely dependent upon the wind since without a mainsail Hexagon cannot sail upwind, and a rope is caught around the propeller from the knockdown.
Shortly after Hexagon rounded the infamous rock, Simone Bianchetti followed on Tiscali. The weather had also been brutal for the Italian sailor, but he managed to get around the corner unscathed. "I passed Cape Horn at 20:30 UTC about one to two miles from the rock in strong 30 knot winds," he wrote. "Passing so close was good as there were no big waves inshore so I was going at good speed. Rounding Cape Horn was emotional for two reasons: the stories of how many boats have tried to round the Horn and the number of people who have died here make it a very significant moment. Also it is the door to the Atlantic and a sign to say you have done a good job as a sailor to have brought your boat through in good condition and safely. I have nothing broken on my boat still. This makes me very happy."
While Dalton stops to fix his boom, Bianchetti is already streaking up the Atlantic. He passed through the Straits of Le Maire and has been enjoying strong winds from the northwest. He plans to leave the Falkland Islands to starboard unlike Thierry Dubois on Solidaires who was forced to leave the islands to port. | <urn:uuid:4589f8e9-7167-4088-b6bd-41d9e8f71b54> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.sailing.org/news/7123.php | 2015-10-08T22:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737904854.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221824-00117-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983538 | 738 |

One of our greatest responsibilities is to protect the health and well-being of our children. The United States leads the world in childhood obesity, with nearly one in every three American children classified as overweight or obese.
As concerned adults, there are steps we can take to ensure that the nation’s children lead full and active lives.
• Find a noncompetitive activity in which your child – or you and your child – can participate.
• Allow each family member to choose a destination to visit within predetermined geographic parameters – Disneyland, Lake Tahoe or Santa Cruz. The first person to walk there, in steps measured daily with a pedo-meter, wins an actual trip to the preferred spot with the family. Incentivizing fitness in ways that appeal to children goes a long way in spurring their buy-in.
• Learn a new, active skill together. Consider surfing, rock climbing or mountain biking.
• Establish a family game night that involves active video games such as Wii’s Just Dance. Organize an obstacle course or scavenger hunt around the house or neighborhood.
• Avoid negative self-talk when in the presence of children and strive to focus on the positive. If you are trying to lose weight or get in shape, speak about your efforts constructively – ask for help in sticking to your exercise plan or assistance with planning healthful meals.
• Sit down to meals together, where you can collectively enjoy nutritious food as well as each other’s company. Set a goal as a family to eat a certain number of meals together weekly, not restricted solely to dinner.
• While limiting TV and computer time is a wise idea, eliminating eating while watching TV or working on the computer is a great strategy to increase nutritional mindfulness.
• Allow children to choose recipes or an ingredient from which a meal can be generated. The more invested they are in their food choices, the likelier they are to eat and enjoy them.
• Visit a farm or farmers’ market to bring children raised in an era of convenience a step closer to the source of their sustenance.
• Experiment. Different things work for different people when it comes to lifestyle changes. Be open-minded about new activities, foods or routines. You never know what you might discover.
In this age of technology, we are more virtually connected but have far less physical connection with one another than at any point in history. Food and activity have always been part of social gatherings and celebrations. In modern times, we have allowed gatherings to become a source of stress for many. Take the stress out of the equation, bring the fun back and enjoy some healthful time with family and friends. | <urn:uuid:1f27b221-8c41-4337-b594-4f9401a666e8> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.losaltosonline.com/special-sections2/sections/your-health/24114-J22474 | 2014-10-21T04:01:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507443883.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005723-00251-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949323 | 566 |
With banks appropriately gorged on your post-Thanksgiving shop-binge, and shop owners thankfully sated by the stacks of holiday cash you're jamming down their throats, Black Friday yet again dawned bleak over Arizona's medical-marijuana world.
While patients rejoice in Colorado and Washington state, where access to cannabis is moving toward total, thankyouverymuch, things still pretty much suck in the cannabis biz here. Admittedly, things are creeping ahead, but we have exactly ... nothing more than we had last year at this time.
Am I grateful? Dunno.
As of Nov. 16, six dispensary operators had asked for state inspections, the final step before state authorization to operate. Of those, just two—one on Kolb Road just south of Broadway Boulevard, and one in Glendale—had been approved. Neither had opened. It's not for lack of trying.
Dispensary operators are apparently having trouble finding meds to stock shelves for the rush they know will hit when they open. Neither approved dispensary had an approved grow location, so for now, they are relying on the kindness of caregivers and patients to pass along extra meds. Now, it seems to me that with 27,724 people authorized to grow cannabis across the state, there would be plenty to go around—about 187,000 pounds, if each current patient grows 12 plants three times per year and gets 3 ounces per plant. That seems like a pretty awesome bounty that should be available for dispensaries, but it isn't.
The problem lies in the voters' will. We hobbled our own damn selves when we passed the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. The law does not allow patients to sell their cannabis. Patients can't sell it to each other, and they can't sell it to dispensaries. Boo to that. I suspect a lot of voters overlooked that little wrench in the works when they supported the law.
Ultimately, I still question the need for dispensaries. Every patient in the state could be served by his fellow man, if the system would allow it. Yes, there will always be people who would rather walk into a safe, familiar environment to get meds. There is a niche market there. But I think most patients (most of the ones I talk to, anyway) would rather get meds the way they always have—from their friends (who are now caregivers and fellow patients).
In a perfect world (Colorado?), we would all be allowed to grow whatever meds we need in the privacy of our extra bedrooms, and we would be allowed to sell them to whomever we wanted. But this world sucks a little, so we have to rely on what we have. And despite the foot-dragging and lollygagging in Phoenix, the march continues toward dispensaries.
So as I sit here not shopping, I am grateful for our nascent medical-marijuana world. It's not perfect; there are glitches to be sure. I still can't head to the dispensary to grab some holiday relief, and there is no chance to get a smokin' deal on what could be Green Friday. But I can exchange all the cannabis I want with fellow patients, and though we don't have much to pick from here, there are dozens of collectives operating in the Phoenix area. The cops have jackbooted a few, including the available collective shop fronts in Tucson, but we do have a small but growing cannabis economy. So even if the MMJ business world can't partake in the annual shopfuck orgy, we can get a little on the side.
It's something.

Pub at Wegmans Offers Shoppers a Break from Errands
Whether you're satisfying a shopping-generated appetite or just stopping in for the good eats and local beer, the Pub is a must-do.
Have you been to the new Wegmans in King of Prussia yet? If you haven’t, you're missing out! Besides an, dare we say, enjoyable shopping experience, the newly opened Pub at Wegmans is a great place to stop for a bite before or after your shopping trip, and some admit to going just for the food, shopping or no shopping.
Of course, the Pub does sell lots of beer from domestic to international craft beers, and many selections are local—Weyerbacher, Philadelphia Brewing Co., Yuengling and Yards to name a few. There are also plenty of beers on tap as well as wines by the glass and a number of cocktails. If you’re thinking about a meal at the Pub, the menu looks a little more upscale than typical pub food. There’s everything from zucchini fries and cheeseburgers to steamed Chesapeake clams and Australian lamb chops. The fun, casual vibe is nice too.
Have you tried the Pub yet? Let us know what you think!

New York — The Anti-Defamation League’s National Consumer Technology Industry divisio
PALO ALTO, Calif. —The fledgling automotive satellite TV market is off to a promising start, according to a new report by Frost & Sullivan, which expects that 3 million light vehicles on the road will be equipped with satellite TV by 2011 in North America.
Analyst Sandeep Kar said two trends will help fuel the growth of the automotive satellite TV market. The first trend is that North Americans are watching increasingly more TV, and the second is that mobile satellite TV systems are becoming more advanced.
Already the SpeedRay by RaySat offers two-way Internet connection in addition to satellite TV, said Kar, who expects that, eventually, the satellite TV antenna will also be used for voice-over-IP telephony, navigation, digital mapping and mobile commerce.
Car companies and car rental companies are also showing interest in the market, with Avis recently announcing that it will offer mobile satellite TV in its Hummer vehicles and Cadillac offering it as a dealer installed option in the Escalade SUV, said Kar.
The industry is hoping to reach price points of $500 to $1,000 per system and antenna weights in the 10-pound to 15-pound range, said Frost & Sullivan.
In addition, rear-seat entertainment systems are gaining and will be installed in 20 million light vehicles by 2011, said the report.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives. | <urn:uuid:b895cdb2-06f6-4390-99fa-6faa773fbe2a> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.twice.com/computing/computing/mobile-satellite-tv-hit-3m-2011/65144 | 2013-12-13T05:09:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164884560/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134804-00086-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946657 | 350 |
And now, a randomly generated scene …
Nouns: lentil, salon, swimming, chameleon, pile, trap, limit
Adjectives: absorbed, befitting, hallowed, better, thinkable
Verbs: enter, propose, rectify
It was on tentative, creeping toes that the brothers did what was barely thinkable to the other boys on their block—what remained barely thinkable to poor Ronan: they cracked its broken back door and entered Bellinger’s salon.
They had never been allowed inside, barely been allowed even to peer inside the large square front windows. No child had.
“That stuff’s not for kids,” their mother explained each time she returned, poking her face, her generally critical fingers caressing with such admiration.
The darkened salon appeared empty. Damon stared about him. The walls were stacked tidily with tools and books. A little wheeled cart nearby was loaded with ointments, tweezers, needles, and scissors to be whizzed around the shining floor to any of the numerous mirrors. Apart from the strong smell of disinfectant, the air was scented with curried lentil soup. It drifted from the upper level. Bellinger must be there.
Ronan was understandably nervous. “This is hallowed ground to him,” he reminded his absorbed brother in a mutter. “The place he practises his craft. If he ever was to catch us here …”
His eyes jumped beyond his will, drawn to movement. But it was only a trio of GM goldfish swimming in their aquarium, near fluttering behind the glass with their outsized fins and massive bobble cheeks.
“And the man is a chameleon,” Ronan added when Damon didn’t reply, now engrossed with, of all things, a small rubbish bin. Ronan saw some blobby, yellowed substance spattered on its rim. A shred of flesh-coloured tissue – he didn’t want to think what – flopped over the edge, as well. Why were all the adults obsessed with this place? “Literally, Damon. And you’ve heard Lon’s stories – “
Along with his brother’s pride, Ronan cursed Lon long and lewdly in his mind. It was that smart-aleck that had proposed Damon take up this absurd quest in the first place.
“ –Bellinger likes nothing better than to trap kids that sneak in here. He needs faces to practice on, and refine his craft.”
“Pile of rotten mincemeat,” Damon at last spoke, a confident grin breaking through the general awe of what they’d done.
“I don’t care if it’s a pile of rotten mincemeat,” Ronan whispered harshly. “Hurry and pick something – nothing he’ll notice is gone. We have a time limit, don’t forget. He’ll be finished his evening meal any moment.”
Despite his brother’s urgency, Damon considered his surrounds lazily, drawing out his time in that forbidden salon and relishing each moment, on the lookout for their proof of entry.
“What prize is befitting … ahh, here we are! These ought to convince Lon.”
Damon chose a small set of bone shears and lifted them exultantly into the air.
“Fine,” Ronan said tersely, glancing over each of his shoulders, fine hair prickling sharply along his arms. “Let’s get of here.”
Prize held high, Damon’s jubilant smile melted into a perfectly round O of surprise, muting his intended reply. His arms dropped.
Bellinger, thin as straw and entirely unwrinkled though decades curved his spine and shoulders, stood directly behind Ronan. He wore a face that Damon, through his icy shock, was sure had once belonged to the florist around the corner.
Ronan stood perfectly still. He felt the looming presence behind him, and though he dared not look, knew who it must be.
Damon eyes remained locked with Bellinger’s – that lightning violet-blue wasn’t a shade he offered in the catalogue the brothers had leafed through – for several long, tense seconds. Only when he blinked did Damon think of the bone shears he’d taken, cold in his tight grip.
Perhaps he had time to rectify that proud theft before they discovered Lon’s story – every word of it – was true. | <urn:uuid:1dc5203b-06c9-4381-bbc0-7812d78e0ef9> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://dollthermometer.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/face-salon-shears/ | 2018-07-18T15:53:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590295.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718154631-20180718174631-00293.warc.gz | en | 0.975524 | 987 |

Think, Compute, See
Analyst provides a collaborative analytics environment that allows both programmers and analysts to work with massive datasets in real-time. Data Scientists can query and visualize billions of records as if they are working with a few thousand. Working in real-time, analysts move seamlessly back and forth between compute-intensive queries or calculations and interactive visualizations. With Kx, analysts are able to tumble massive datasets using a “think, compute, see” paradigm to find meaning and uncover patterns quickly and easily.
Data Prep Without Programming
Kx allows you to import your data sets without programming. Analysts transfer CSV, JSON, XML, and ODBC/JDBC datasets using a point-and-click interface. Once a file is selected, columns’ names and types are auto-discovered. Naturally, the analyst can decide whether or not to change these properties before importing the dataset. The importer also allows you to sanitize column names should the analyst wish to use the dataset with the programming language.
With Kx Technology, analysts can make additional modifications to the data file without having to program. Analysts can rename columns, replace nulls, update values based on filter criteria, filter out records prior to import, set keys, set column attributes, change types and more.
Kx allows you to visualize datasets using a wide variety of standard charts or by creating your own custom client-side or server-side visualizations. It has been specifically optimized for large datasets. By leveraging Kx’s server-side rendering technology, analysts are able to query and visualize tens of millions of records in a few seconds. This means that analysts can now search for and find patterns in large datasets in seconds or minutes, rather than days or weeks.
Big Data Spreadsheet
For those individuals who prefer a more data-centric interface, Analyst provides the Big Data Spreadsheet. Using the sheet, analysts can load and work with billions of records in a non-linear format. They can work incrementally with their datasets performing analytical computations and building up queries. And they can move seamlessly between analysis and visualization.
Unstructured Text Analysis
Analyst for Kx lets you perform text analysis on structured, semi-structured and unstructured text files. Operations that can be performed include:
- Group documents or tokens in a variety of ways using clustering algorithms
- Find terms and phrases related to a token, or word frequency differences between document collections
- Search by keywords, regular expressions, or by similarity to a document or collection of documents
- Search with multi-token co-occurrence or lack of co-occurrence in an n-sentence window
- Automatic entity recognition to find proper nouns, dates, times, phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, money, postal/zip codes
- Parse dates, times, and money
- Keyword detection and relevance ranking
- Tokenizing, stemming and sentence detection
- Create stop word lists
- Manage and maintain complex multi-step search history and document collection histories

Dermabrasion is used to remove damaged skin. This allows healthy, smoother skin to grow in its place.
Reasons for Procedure
Dermabrasion is done to help repair damaged skin. The procedure may help to renew skin by encouraging new skin growth. Dermabrasion may be used to treat the following skin conditions:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Temporary side effects such as:
- Flare-ups of acne or tiny cysts
- Increased or decreased color in the skin
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
- Flare-ups of cold sores if done on the face
Less common complications such as:
- Permanent scarring
- Lasting redness
- Prolonged loss of color in the skin.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Dermabrasion is not recommended if you have:
- Active herpes, bacterial infection, or sores
- Current or recent use (less than one year) of isotretinoin
- Skin, blood flow, or immune disorders that could make healing more difficult
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may:
- Do a complete health evaluation and a skin exam
- Recommend an antiviral medication if you have a history of herpes infection
- Give you a prescription for tretinoin and/or a skin lightening cream
Photographs will also be taken before and after surgery. This will help to see the changes.
A local anesthetic will be used to numb the area. A numbing spray may also be used. If the amount of work is extensive, you may need general anesthesia. In this case, you will be asleep.
A sedative medication may be given to help you relax.
Description of the Procedure
The area of skin will be cleaned and the anesthesia will be applied. A motorized tool with a wheel or brush will be used. The tool with be passed over the skin. Each pass will remove a certain amount of skin. The process will continue until the damaged area is level with the rest of the skin.
An ointment or dressing will be applied to the area.
How Long Will It Take?
The length of time depends on the size of the area to be treated. It can range from a few minutes to 90 minutes.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Healing normally takes 7-10 days. A steroid medication may be prescribed to reduce swelling and improve healing.
Proper care will also help you heal. Steps may include:
- Adjust your daily activities until your doctor says it is safe to resume them.
- Avoid sun exposure. After peeling has stopped, use sunscreen every day.
- Go to follow-up visits as advised by your doctor. They are important to monitor the skin's healing and regrowth.
At first, the area will bleed. After it heals, the skin should appear smoother and blend into the surrounding skin. Results are long lasting.
During your procedure, the staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping the treated area moist by changing the ointment and dressing on the wound
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Cleaning the skin several times a day and gently removing crusting that develops during healing
- Not allowing others to touch your skin
Call Your Doctor
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the treatment site
- Skin redness or loss of color that does not go away
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
