MiaSolé, which makes copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar modules, has been hit with a patent infringement suit involving a patent relating to interconnection structures for PV cells.
The complaint, brought by a company called Solannex, accuses MiaSolé of infringing U.S. Patent No. 7,635,810, entitled “Substrate and collector grid structures for integrated photovoltaic arrays and process of manufacturing such arrays” (’810 Patent), by making, using and selling its MR-series PV modules.
According to the complaint (Solannex Complaint), filed last month in federal court in San Francisco, Dr. Daniel Luch, the named inventor on the ’810 Patent, had discussions with Dave Pearce and Dennis Hollars, CEO and CTO, respectively, of MiaSolé in 2006 in which Dr. Luch provided details about his proprietary technology.
Solannex further alleges that Luch provided samples of the interconnect structure to MiaSolé and that MiaSolé requested price quotes for various production volumes of the technology. In June 2006, according to the complaint, MiaSolé filed two patent applications of its own relating to some aspects of Dr. Luch’s technology.
The ’810 Patent is directed to interconnection structures for PV cells, including electrically conductive “fingers” that allow electrical communication between top and bottom surfaces of an interconnect region.
In particular, the patent describes an interconnecting strap (24) comprising conductive materials (28, 30) that extend through a hole (12) from the first surface (20) of the strap to the second surface (22).
According to the ’810 Patent, the interconnect technology reduces manufacturing costs by allowing separate production of the PV film and the interconnecting structure so the PV junction can be produced in bulk.
FIG. 13 (below) of the ’810 Patent shows three PV cells in a series arrangement using the interconnection technology. Each PV cell (40) has a light incident top surface (59) and a bottom surface (66).
The patent’s description says that prior art shingling arrangements included overlapping of cells that sacrificed valuable portions of cell surface. By contrast, this shingling arrangement does not require any loss of PV surface by an overlapping cell.
Solannex is seeking both monetary damages and a permanent injunction.

SASKATCHEWAN LIBRARY TRUSTEES' ASSOCIATION
Honouary Life Membership in
As a Trustee of RPL for more than ten years, and President of the SLTA for the past 18 months, Gerald Kleisinger has been a tremendous asset to RPL and has made a real difference in the lives of patrons, his colleagues, and the library community.
During his time as a Regina City Councillor, Gerald was appointed to sit on the RPL Board for six consecutive years. After leaving the City, he was appointed in 2004 to the RPL Board. He was highly respected by his colleagues and peers, and widely recognized for his enthusiasm and passion for libraries.
It has been a lifelong belief of Gerald’s that libraries and those who serve them can make a difference in the lives of individuals, and during his tenure with RPL, his contributions as a trustee have been invaluable. He was present when RPL began offering Internet access to the public, and when the internationally acclaimed ESL Tutor Training Manual was created and later the Online Tutor Training began assisting people across North America. He was present at the opening of the relocated Prince of Wales Branch and the grand opening of the new Regent Place Branch. The list goes on and on.
In 2010 Gerald was acclaimed the SLTA Representative for the RPL Board of Directors, and in 2012 he was elected President of the SLTA. In this role it was his desire to bring the libraries together to work in a constant, concentrated manner to make libraries in Saskatchewan the best they can be. He consistently advocated on behalf of library officials across the province to regularly meet and discuss the future of our libraries. Gerald met numerous times with the sitting Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Education, advocating the value of libraries. He encouraged Trustees to work with their local politicians to keep them aware of the importance of their library and the role of literacy within their community.
Gerald was instrumental in placing Saskatchewan libraries at the forefront of the technological revolution. He sought out and invited guest speakers to the annual SLA Conferences to ensure that libraries in the province were well informed and educated on the innovative changes taking place around globe and in their back yards. Furthermore, he developed and implemented the SLTA Library Promotion Campaign. He wanted to "make some noise" and draw attention to libraries in the province. This was a huge undertaking for the SLTA, and the work will be continued in 2015 by his SLTA colleagues.
Gerald was as a school principal, an educational psychologist, and a university lecturer. A lifelong educator with a professional teaching certificate and a Master of Arts, Gerald has written numerous articles on child development and educating children. He continues to serve on the Regina Catholic School Board as a Trustee.
Gerald’s unwavering commitment to his community and the belief in fostering lifelong learning opportunities for every person in the province is commendable. | <urn:uuid:7aac9f1c-6210-47dd-b351-f487ec796d21> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://slta.ca/about/life-members/gerald-kleisinger | 2019-02-23T17:45:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550249508792.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190223162938-20190223184938-00222.warc.gz | en | 0.982008 | 597 |

Overview: Equities are softer and yields higher to start the new week. The dollar is mixed. Oil and industrial metals are higher. There are several developments over the weekend, but the focus seems to be on central bank action, inflation reports by the US and China, and the start of the Q3 earnings season. Shares rallied in Japan and Hong Kong, but most of the other large markets in the region fell. Recall that the MSCI Asia Pacific slipped last week, its fourth consecutive weekly decline. Europe’s Dow Jones Stoxx 600 is paring last week’s nearly 1% gain. US futures are heavy as well. There is no cash market for US Treasuries today, though yields are higher in Europe and setting new three-month highs. The re-opening of Sydney may be helping to give the Australian dollar a boost. After snapping a four-week drop last week, it is the strongest of the majors (~0.4%). Sterling had initially gained on the back of the hawkish rhetoric for BOE officials but surrendered the gains by midday in Europe. The yen is the weakest of the majors, off more than 0.6%, with the greenback approaching JPY113.00. Emerging market currencies are mixed, though central European currencies are underperforming. The JP Morgan Emerging Market Currency Index is off for the sixth consecutive session. It has risen only once since the FOMC meeting. Crude oil is moving higher, with November WTI pushing above $81 and Brent is near $84. Coal, iron ore, and copper prices are also higher. Rising yields saps demand for gold, which had spiked above $1780 after the US jobs data but quickly reversed lower. It is holding support near $1750.
FX Performance, October 11
Ideas that Japan’s new Prime Minister Kishida was considering new capital gains tax were denied, and this helped Japanese stocks extend their recovery. Recall Japanese shares fell from September 27 through October 6, losing about 9%. There were several factors and the new Japanese government’s intentions, with talk of a “new capitalism” and “redistribution” playing a role. Although Japanese stocks did better at the end of last week, the Nikkei still lost 2.5%, its third consecutive weekly decline. The weaker yen may have helped lift Japanese shares too. The Nikkei’s 1.6% gain today was the largest in a couple of weeks. The combination of higher energy prices and a weaker yen may help break deflation’s grip.
China’s Shanxi province was hit by flooding and landslides. Reports suggest 60 coal mines, more than 370 other types of mines, and 14 plants dealing with dangerous chemicals were shut. This seemed to help underpin the industrial commodity prices today. Separately, US Trade Representative Tai and China’s Vice Premier Liu met virtually before the weekend, which pre-pandemic used to be called a phone call. Beijing’s relatively muted response to last week’s reports of US military presence in Taiwan suggests officials there likely already knew of it. Could that help explain the stepped-up PLA intrusion in Taiwan’s air identification zone? Still, Beijing has not needed that pretext to enter into other neighbor’s waters, like Malaysia and the Philippines.
The dollar is higher against the yen for the third consecutive session. It finished last week at its best level of the year, above JPY112.20. It held above JPY112.00 today and jumped to almost JPY113.00. This is its best level since late 2018. The greenback has broken out, and the market will look for the upper end of the new range, which might be near JPY115.00. The Australian dollar’s close last week above $0.7300, and news that Sydney is re-opening, encouraging follow-through buying today. The Aussie has approached $0.7350. There is an option for about A$360 at $0.7365, expiring tomorrow. Support may be about the $0.7330 area that holds an expiring option today (~A$300 mln) and tomorrow (~A$420 mln). The greenback slipped to near last month’s low against the Chinese yuan near CNY6.43. After dipping below CNY6.4350, the dollar recovered to almost CNY6.4440. The PBOC set the dollar’s reference rate at CNY6.4479, a little firmer than the median (Bloomberg survey) of CNY6.4471. The PBOC’s money market operation was a net drain of CNY190 bln, and this seemed to dampen hopes of a near-term easing. Money market rates jumped, and the benchmark 10-year yield rose to a three-month high of nearly 3%.
The Bank of England’s rhetoric remains hawkish. This is resulting in a dramatic backing up of UK rates. The market is moving to price in a rate hike this year. The December short-sterling interest rate futures now imply a yield of 32 bp. That is a 14 bp increase since the BOE meeting on September 23. The implied yield of the June 2022 contract has risen 26 bp over the same period. Ironically, sterling itself is about a cent lower. The activist MPC member Saunders who has voted to reduce the BOE’s bond-buying immediately endorsed the market developments. At the same time, Governor Bailey warned of the need to prevent inflation from becoming “embedded.” This also echoes the warning by the BOE’s chief economist Pill.
Austria’s Prime Minister Kurz resigned over the weekend rather than face a confidence vote this week. Instead, he will head up his party in parliament, and Foreign Minister Schallenberg will reportedly take over the prime minister’s duties. This looks to be sufficient to preserve the unlikely coalition with the Greens. Separately, as Czech Prime Minister Babis lost a close election, his ally and President Zeman was rushed to the hospital, leaving the outcome uncertain. Zeman, who is unorthodox, could have still given the mandate to form a coalition to Babis, whose party is still the largest. Lastly, the fallout from Poland’s high court decision at the end of last week is still not known. The court ruled that where Poland has not specifically deferred to the EU, Polish law is superior. The primacy of EU law had been thought to be the basis of the bloc in the first place. Still, it was challenged by the German Constitutional Court last year, which claimed the European Court of Justice overstepped its authority in a ruling about QE. Poland has been clashing with Brussels and risks 36 bln euro (~$42 bln) Recovery Fund money.
The euro was turned back from an attempt at $1.16 and is testing the $1.1555 area in late morning turnover in Europe. The single currency remains in the range set last Wednesday (~$1.1530-$1.1605). There is a 1.1 bln euro option at $1.16 that expires today. There is another one tomorrow for 1.4 bln euros at $1.1615 that will also expire. On the downside, the near-term risk extends to around $1.1490, which is the (50%) retracement of the rally from March 2020 that ended ironically on January 6. Sterling was bid to a two-week high near $1.3675 in late Asia, but it returned to opening levels (~$1.3615) near midday in London. The intraday momentum indicators are getting stretched, and new buying may materialize in the $1.3480-$1.3500 area.
Canada is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, and the US bond market is closed for a partial holiday, while equities will trade. The US employment data missed expectations and was distorted by the pandemic impact on hiring teachers. It was the first monthly report after the expiration of the federal unemployment insurance $300 a week benefit. While around half of the states dropped from the program before it ended, there was no big impact on the data, contrary to many expectations. Still, others have not given up on the claim and retreated to ideas that elevated savings are the key deterrent. Still, it appears that the number one issue is the virus. In terms of Fed policy, it is not seen as a game-changer. Tapering is still on track for next month. The implied yield of the September 2022 Fed funds futures contract is rising for its sixth consecutive session and at 21 bp, suggesting more than a 25 bp hike has been discounted.
Whereas the US jobs data disappointed, Canada’s report exceeded expectations. It grew 193k full-time positions, which would be as if the US created 2 mln jobs given the relative size. While the US participation rate slipped, Canada’s jumped to 65.5%, matching the pre-pandemic level. Not only did the participation rate rise, but the unemployment rate fell to 6.9% from 7.1%. There has been a sharp backing up of Canadian money market rates. Consider that the June 2022 Banker Acceptance interest rate futures contract’s implied yield has risen by more than 20 bp since the central bank met a month ago. The implied yield rose every day last week for a cumulative gain of almost nine basis points. It was the fifth consecutive weekly increase. Since that Bank of Canada meeting, the Canadian dollar has been the strongest major currency, rising about 1.9% against the US dollar.
The Canadian dollar is edging higher today in quiet turnover. It has slipped through the pre-weekend low a little above CAD1.2450 to set a new 2.5-month low. The 200-day moving average (~CAD1.2515) may now offer resistance. We are monitoring a possible head and shoulders top that projects toward CAD1.23. Emerging market currencies remain out of favor, and the Mexican peso reflects this development. The greenback is chopping around nine-month highs against the peso. Last week’s high was near MXN20.8865, and it looks poised to retest it. The upper Bollinger Band is found by MXN20.8715 today. Above there, the MXN21.00 beckons, while the high for the year was set in early March around MXN21.6360. Note that Chile’s central bank meets on Wednesday and is expected to hike its overnight target by 75 bp to 2.25%. The key rate began at 50 bp this year and was hiked by 25 bp in July and then 75 bp in August. September inflation was reported last week at 5.3% and was stronger than expected (5%).

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has a slight lead in another New Hampshire poll of potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates. But the poll, released on Friday, revealed that most voters are undecided, and only one percent of those surveyed have decided on a particular candidate.
According to a WMUR Granite State Poll, which is conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, 15% of GOP primary voters would vote for Paul. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) came in second with 13%, followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 12%, Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) with 7% each, Donald Trump with 5%, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal with 3% each, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) with 2%, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 1%.
In addition, only “1% of likely Republican Primary voters say they have definitely decided who they will support, 7% are leaning toward a candidate, and 93% are still trying to decide.”
When voters were “asked in an open-ended question who they support for the GOP nomination,” the field became even more wide open. The poll found that “62% of likely Republican voters would not, or could not, name a candidate.” When respondents did name candidates, Paul got 9%, Christie 7%, Cruz 6%, Romney and Scott Brown 3%, and Ryan and Bush 2%.
It is often difficult for GOP candidates to win social conservatives in Iowa, and New Hampshire voters are more interested in fiscal issues. But on paper, at least currently, Paul has potentially the best chance of winning both states. | <urn:uuid:87e7b9f3-7ec8-4fca-9ee2-ef8911a94cea> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/04/19/2016-poll-rand-paul-leads-in-new-hampshire/ | 2016-07-29T19:54:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257831771.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071031-00308-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973273 | 357 |
An Egyptian woman was harassed in broad daylight in Cairo’s Fifth Settlement on 15 August 2018.
The woman was minding her own business, waiting for a bus outside On the Run cafe.
The harasser circled the woman with his car three times, making remarks that made her feel uncomfortable each time. She felt worried and entered a nearby supermarket, hoping the man would have left by the time she went outside again to catch her bus.
Instead, she saw the man drive up again and park his car. She pulled out her phone and started to record the interaction.
“I figured we should drink coffee rather than you just standing here on the street,” says the man with a smile.
“Over there is On the Run. Let’s drink coffee at On the Run?” asks the man, mixing Arabic words with English (‘teegy neshrab coffee fe On the Run?‘)?
The woman’s Facebook status expressed her surprise that she had been harassed in Fifth Settlement, which is known for being a ‘high-end’ suburban district.
Over the next 24 hours, the woman would find herself mocked mercilessly online until she was forced to delete her Facebook account.
The video quickly became the top trending story in Egypt, with thousands of Egyptians debating whether the man’s actions amounted to sexual harassment.
Most of the people defending the man failed to read comments by the woman explaining that the man had been stalking her for a while and that she only started recording later on. The woman was attacked and criticized almost as much as the man was online, and she was forced to release another video where she fully explains what happened, before she deleted her Facebook account.
On numerous posts and comments defending the woman for standing up to a harasser, there are dozens of comments defending the man. Comments by many, including some women, are demonizing the men and women who have publicly supported and defended the woman.
Some users also questioned why the act of approaching a woman in the streets was deemed controversial seeing as the practice was commonly done in the West and in Europe, failing to realize that a majority of men who approach women in the streets in Egypt do so in the intention of harassing.
Many social media users also took to fishing out private photos of the woman from her profile in order to question what she had been wearing at the moment of the harassment and to make conclusions on her ‘morals’ based on her clothing choice.
Some people didn’t criticize the man for the sexual harassment or the woman for uploading the video. Instead, they just mocked the man’s use of English and Arabic in a sentence. “Teegy neshrab coffee?” quickly became a trending phrase in Egypt, with hundreds of comments making fun of both the man and the woman.
Even brands have capitalized on the mockery of sexual harassment. Dunkin’ Donuts in Egypt posted a photograph on Facebook alluding to the incident with the caption “Teegy neshrab coffee at DD?” (‘Let’s drink coffee at DD?’).
The post has more than 7,000 likes and 1,000 comments, with almost all comments finding it funny. Some Facebook users have even praised the man.
In the middle of all this, something seems to have been forgotten. A woman was harassed and everyone judged without any context. A woman was harassed on Egypt’s streets – an experience that almost all Egyptian women have faced.
Instead of condemnation, we have jokes. Instead of support for the woman or condemnation for the man’s actions, both individuals have been turned into memes. The woman’s name is Menna Gubran, and she is not a meme. | <urn:uuid:8b1b751c-2bc6-4da9-af69-581b033f0493> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://egyptianstreets.com/2018/08/16/teegy-neshrab-coffee-egyptians-mock-sexual-harassment/ | 2019-08-17T13:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027313259.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190817123129-20190817145129-00262.warc.gz | en | 0.980319 | 786 |
> [Archived] Interviews
Martin Panteleev is the Conductor of the National Radio Orchestra
Pianist Dana Borșan will be, on Friday, 7th November, 2014, the soloist of the National Radio Orchestra and she will play the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; and, in the second part of the concert, the public is invited to listen to the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, by Johannes Brahms. We are given further details about this evening’s programme in an interview granted by the conductor of the large symphonic ensemble of the National Radio Orchestra – Martin Panteleev.
This is your second collaboration with the National Radio Orchestra. How is everything going?
The orchestra has changed a lot for the past year from the point of view of how the members of the ensemble are interacting with one another. Tiberiu Soare's efforts can be sensed. As a conductor, you can sense a thing well done immediately. Last year I only met them, now we are continuing the dialogue we started with the last concert. It is a harmonious relationship.
From your point of view, what is the characteristic of the Romanian musicians?
They are very interesting. They distinguish themselves by a unique sound – one which is situated on the borderland between the German school and the Slavic one. The collaboration with the Romanian musicians is always a special one; their interpretations change due to this aspect. This thing cheers me because I have conducted several orchestras playing the Symphony No. 2, by Brahms, but I feel a different kind of commitment, of emotion and more power with this orchestra. These features are needed when playing Brahms. I can hardly wait for this evening’s concert; I am curious about it.
You are interpreting Tchaikovsky and Brahms this evening. Why did you choose the compositions of these two composers?
It is a Romantic and a very well-known programme. Both works are among the most representative both for that creational period and these composers. I see it as a competition between Tchaikovsky and Brahms. It is true, there has always been like this in reference to these two composers. Tchaikovsky repeatedly said that Brahms' compositions were not sufficiently original. I do not agree with that assertion, especially when we are talking about the Symphony No.2, which is extremely descriptive. They are both composers I appreciate.
How do you feel about the dialogue with Dana Borșan?
From my point of view, I think she detaches herself from the rest of the soloists who tackle this concerto. They all want to show off their technique, they all play at a very fast tempo. I appreciate her moderate vision, from the point of view of nuances, too, especially at the beginning of the concerto. I am sure her interpretation will be a very good one.
How did you start your conducting career?
As a little boy I always wanted to conduct. When I was nine years old, I was playing in an orchestra and I was fascinated by the conductor; I was working a lot with Svilen Simeonov. I did not know for a very long time exactly what the designation of the conductor was. I understood it when I was sixteen and I started taking conducting lessons, and then, in college. When I was twenty-two years old, I received the first invitations to conduct an orchestra in Germany. Justus Franz gave me this chance; he knew me from the ensembles I had been a member of. We speak a lot about this profession even now. Concerts in Sofia, London and Berlin soon followed. It seems unbelievable to me; there are moments when I am on stage and I find myself asking if it is true what is happening. I have always wanted to be a conductor, I have believed I could do it and everything I do now feels like a dream come true. It is true that I put a lot of energy into it, but everything returns a hundredfold. Art fills a great part of our lives, but it also makes them better constantly.
You talked about your relationship with Justus Frantz. Do you remember the first thing he told you?
I was the concert master in the orchestra he was conducting. We were preparing Carmina Burana and I dared suggest to him to try a different beat for a certain part of the score. He asked me to show the orchestra exactly what I wanted. He insisted and I ended up standing at the conducting desk, in front of a choir composed of 100 people and of a large orchestra; I conducted an excerpt from Carmina Burana and they responded to my suggestions. Justus Frantz then told those present there that I would never stop conducting.

Facial tattoos make a person stand out from the crowd.
For many tattoo artists it’s a big deal to tattoo someone’s face and not something to be taken lightly.
Many artists uphold self-imposed ethical guidelines and do not tattoo a customer’s face unless much of the customer’s body has already been inked.
Ned Harrington from the Ink Garage in Como says sharing photographs of tattoos on social media has played a big part in the increase in face and neck tattoos.
“Also, TV shows have glorified the criminal and gangster look, and people are trying to take that image on,” Mr Harrington says.
Four tattoo artists questioned by InkWire say they offer advice before tattooing a person’s face, asking them to think before they ink.
But one artist said the decision to get his own face tattooed was not such a big deal … | <urn:uuid:500cac84-a4df-4ca6-8f08-aef898024f9c> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://inkwirenews.com.au/2014/11/06/whos-that-behind-the-face-tat/ | 2017-09-22T16:49:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689028.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922164513-20170922184513-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.961161 | 190 |

- Business Advantage
The primary objective of this report is to foster support for the extension of payment settlement hours in Canada. Extended payment settlement hours will create a more favourable environment for Canadian financial service companies to compete in a changing global marketplace as well as enhance Canada’s position to capture future business opportunities in Asia.
Around the world, we see countries that are introducing more flexibility to the hours during which inter-bank payments can be made. Canada’s reputation as a desirable jurisdiction for international commerce could be compromised if we do not give our financial institutions the tools to match the service that can be found in other countries.

Rice County landfill fire continues smoldering 2 days later, remains closed to the public
Rice County officials say its landfill will remain closed to the public Wednesday with the exception of licensed haulers as debris continues to smolder at the site.
According to the county, it is “difficult to predict” when the fire will be completely out.
Aerial footage shows a large billow of smoke coming from the landfill Wednesday afternoon. The fire was first reported around 5 p.m. Monday at the county sanitary landfill off of Highway 3.
RELATED: Rice County limits access to landfill due to safety concerns, ongoing conditions caused by fire
Air quality monitoring equipment will be in place for personal air and facility perimeter monitoring, the county said. The purpose of the equipment is to “assess air quality in the working environment and protect worker health.”
Perimeter monitoring will assess the air surrounding the landfill and “evaluate off-site migration.”
The county said the environmental accounting firm Foth is compiling information to measure the air quality before, during and after the fire. Earlier this week, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency designated southern Minnesota Air Quality Index (API) between unhealthy and moderate because of ground-level ozone.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but Rice County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Josh Malecha initially said it’s likely the combustion source came from materials brought to the landfill, such as hot ash or lithium-ion batteries. He added the smoke carries an unpleasant smell, particularly downwind.
Firefighters first responded early Monday evening. No injuries or damage to property were reported. | <urn:uuid:ee691cfd-4db6-471a-b041-478f11a5734a> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://twincitieslive.com/kstp-news/local-news/rice-county-landfill-fire-continues-smoldering-2-days-later-remains-closed-to-the-public/ | 2023-06-01T15:43:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224647895.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601143134-20230601173134-00092.warc.gz | en | 0.93825 | 339 |

I've always wanted to visit Havana (pictured above; doesn't it look awesome?!) and to eat Cuban food actually in Cuba. But because of the embargo, I haven't been able to go there. With the changes happening to Cuban policy in the US, I got to wondering if it's possible now for me to go there.
Do I need a visa?
American citizens can visit the island nation without the prior permission if they fall into one of 12 approved categories:
1. Family visits 2. Official business of the U.S. government, foreign governments, and certain intergovernmental organizations 3. Journalistic activity 4. Professional research and professional meetings 5. Educational activities 6. Religious activities 7. Public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, and exhibitions 8. Support for the Cuban people 9. Humanitarian projects 10. Activities of private foundations or research or educational institutes 11. Exportation, importation, or transmission of information or information materials 12. Certain export transactions that may be considered for authorization under existing regulations and guidelines.
Technically, tourist travel is still not allowed, but if you are able to travel there for one of the above reasons, I think you could do some touring as well! But don't take my word for it.
How to get there?
With the changes in policy, there are some new routes of getting to Cuba opening up.
Charter flights have already been available to Cuba, though in limited quantity due to the restrictions on traveling there. Typically, you had to fly to another country before going to Cuba, or leave from South Florida, where limited charter flights have been going on for years. Weekly charter flights run by JetBlue will begin on July 3 between New York City and Havana, and it's expected that the routes in South Florida will increase, too, so get going!
At least four companies have been approved for starting ferries that will run from Key West to Havana! Which means you can take a ferry to the island nation, which is pretty cool. These will probably be cheaper than charter flights, and you can bring more with you on ferries when compared to flights. It will likely cost between $300 and $350 round trip. | <urn:uuid:e521ba35-b5cb-4df3-803b-9bc02aab01b2> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://www.vingle.net/posts/837013-Can-I-Go-to-Cuba | 2017-09-25T01:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818690268.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20170925002843-20170925022843-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.957084 | 451 |
Digital Imaging: Here’s a question one of our readers had:
I have a 2.1 megapixel digital camera and I just got a new 5 megapixel camera. I know that the more megapixels, the better. Is there any way to convert my 2.1 megapixel images to 5?
Actually, it’s really easy – Just use your new 5MP camera to re-take the photos you shot with your 2.1MP camera
However, anything beyond that is probably not going to give you the results you want. Let me explain.
When you shoot a digital photo, you capture an image made up of thousands of little pixels. The more of these buggers, the bigger you can reproduce the image. Keep in mind that these pixels are created when you snap the shutter on your digital camera; it’s going to be important in a few paragraphs.
A 2.1 megapixel camera will generally produce an image around 1600 x 1200 pixels in size. A 5 megapixel camera will give you an image size in the neighborhood of 2560 x 1920 pixels (nice neighborhood
Now, you can twist the virtual arm of most imaging software and force it to turn a 1600 x 1200 image into a 2560 x 1920 image – but there’s a problem. Where do all those extra pixels come from? The software makes ’em up. Just yanks ’em out of the air.
Since the software wasn’t there when you took the photo, it’s forced to “guess” at where all these new pixels should go and what they should look like. The end result is that although it can be done, the image quality isn’t going to be on par with the same image taken with a 5MP camera. Better off sticking with your original 2.1 megapixel images.
Here are some samples:
Let’s take this lighthouse…
Here’s what it looks like cropped in with a real 5 megapixel camera:
Here it is from a 2.1MP converted to 5MP
Pay close attention to the sharpness you lose with the transfer (esp. the bricks). Also, keep in mind that these images have been compressed so they load fast. The difference between the two was even more pronounced before the jpeg compression.
Some other things to consider…
1. It’s only a lighthouse – it should be pretty easy to create “extra” pixels where there were none before, yet there is a noticeable difference in clarity.
2. This was converted with the newest version of Photoshop. Chances are, if a $650 program can’t make it happen, other software won’t either.
Conclusion? Although you can make your software create something out of nothing, you still aren’t getting 5 megapixel image quality. If the details aren’t captured in the first place, no amount of software wizardry is going to be able to make ’em up.
One more note – A 2.1 megapixel camera can generally print a good quality 5×7. In fact, a 2.1 megapixel camera’s 5×7 will be nearly impossible to distinguish from a 5×7 from a 5 megapixel camera. Better resolution = bigger picts, that’s all. It won’t make your smaller ones look any better. So, maybe those 2.1MP photos weren’t so bad after all… | <urn:uuid:0a1283ca-76cb-4554-9403-60402619c80d> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.worldstart.com/converting-megapixels/print/ | 2016-07-31T05:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258950570.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072910-00239-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927218 | 727 |

In the car business, service writers can be almost as important as a physician to the owner of an automobile, according to Keith Acree and Mike Hall of Findlay Cadillac, who have earned their following during their combined total of almost 45 years with Findlay Automotive Group.
Acree started with the company 28 years ago when he was hired to work as a quality control manager for Pete Findlay Oldsmobile at 324 E. Fremont St. He had moved to Las Vegas from Los Alamos, N.M., where he worked for a mom-and-pop automotive shop.
“I was actually an assistant manager for Thrifty Drug in Las Vegas before joining Findlay Oldsmobile,” Acree said. “I like the business and I like the people. I have never wanted to change.”
Hall, a native of Detroit who has lived in Las Vegas since 1995, also joined Findlay Oldsmobile, where he worked as a lot porter. He retired from the Navy after 26 years as a senior chief petty officer serving in San Diego, Africa and the Pacific Southeast Asia area. He said he had ideas of working elsewhere before the job with Findlay surfaced.
“I had applied for a job with the post office and was hired with a pending start date in August of 1995. Then about 18 months later, I got a reply from the post office but I had already started with Findlay for about six months. I didn’t want to leave the Findlay group, so I stayed and I have never looked back. I really enjoy the people that I work with, and I especially like the job. Cadillac owners are class people and we appreciate that they are our customers.”
Working for Pete Findlay was a thrill for Acree and Hall, they said.
“Pete was a true character. He would walk into the Oldsmobile store and nobody felt threatened at all by him simply because he was a very nice guy,” Hall said.
“Pete was friendly and down-to-earth. He talked to everyone; and he was part of old-time Las Vegas. You simply don’t forget people like Pete Findlay,” Acree said.
Hall and Acree are part of the team that helped Findlay Cadillac earn the General Motors Dealer of the Year Award for excellence in sales and service. The dealership is at 993 Auto Show Drive in the Valley Automall. For more information, call 702-558-2600 or visit www.findlaycadillac.com.
Findlay founded Findlay Automotive Group more than 50 years ago. Now headed by his son, Cliff, the group has dealerships in Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Idaho. | <urn:uuid:9cdbbbed-e7f2-46cf-9f28-95691694af91> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.reviewjournal.com/autos/drive/findlay-cadillac-service-writers-mark-45-years | 2015-04-02T07:47:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427132518903.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323174158-00020-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985092 | 569 |
The Green Lantern Corps is one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the DC universe. Besides their vast interstellar beat, each Green Lantern wears a power ring that uses green energy to create solid constructs of almost anything they can imagine. Led by the mysterious Guardians of the Universe, the Green Lanterns travel across the stars, fighting evil and righting wrongs. Despite their incredible power, the Green Lantern Corps weren’t able to do one thing. No, not affect the color yellow; that was fixed years ago. We’re talking about murder.
For most of the history of the Green Lantern Corps, there was a no-kill policy just like Batman or Superman, but formalized with basically a safety on their rings. In recent years, it was even established as a limit on the ring that it wasn’t allowed to create constructs that would kill. However, times have definitely changed. During the 2008 storyline, “The Sinestro Corps War,” when the Green Lanterns were being slaughtered left and right, the Guardians of Oa took away the block on lethal force, and it was open season. We’ll be going over 16 of the most important deaths caused by the members of the Green Lantern Corps, both before and after the war.
Sinestro is the mortal enemy of the Green Lantern Corps, a former Green Lantern who abused his power to become a dictator. When the Lantern Corps tried to rein him in, Sinestro went rogue. The Corps had tried several times to stop him, including keeping him prisoner inside their own prison called the Sciencells, but he always escaped.
In 1988, Green Lantern Corps #222 (Steve Englehart, Joe Staton), the Corps finally had enough, because he had just blown up Kilowog’s entire race. The Corps put him on trial, found him guilty and voted to execute him. Their problems were just beginning, though, because a failsafe in the power battery was triggered on Sinestro’s death that began to destroy it. That ended up almost destroying the Corps. It was the first death of Sinestro, but not the last.
Sinestro came back in 2007’s “The Sinestro Corps War,” which will be the cause of many of the deaths on this list. In the story, Sinestro forged a yellow lantern in the antimatter universe of Qward, which allowed him to use fear the same way the Green Lantern Corps used willpower. He formed his own team, the Sinestro Corps.
The Anti-Monitor, a powerful being controlling the antimatter universe, was the Guardian of the Sinestro Corps. During the war between the Sinestro Corps and the Green Lantern Corps in Green Lantern #25 (Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver), the Green Lanterns blew up the Yellow Central Power Battery next to the Anti-Monitor, and contained the explosion all around him with a shield for extra oomph. That let Superboy-Prime smash and throw the Anti-Monitor’s corpse into space.
14. SINESTRO (AGAIN)
In the 1994 story arc “Emerald Twilight,” Hal Jordan was driven mad with grief and went on a rampage which we’ll get into later on, but we’ll focus on one significant moment in Green Lantern #50 (Ron Marz, Darryl Banks). In that story, the Guardians found Hal Jordan was unstoppable, so they brought in the only person they thought could handle him: Sinestro. The Guardians of the Universe released Sinestro’s spirit from the power battery and brought him back to life as a reformed Green Lantern to face Jordan.
Unfortunately, Hal Jordan turned out to be more than a match for Sinestro. The two of them fought with their power rings until it came down to a brawl with bare fists on Oa. The fight came down to Hal getting Sinestro in a headlock and snapping his neck. It seemed like the end, but once again, he didn’t stay dead.
13. CYBORG SUPERMAN
Going back to the Sinestro Corps War, let’s go to another casualty, Cyborg Superman. Cyborg Superman was first introduced as Hank Henshaw, an astronaut who went through radiation and became a being of pure energy. He discovered he had the power to control electronics, and after the death of Superman, forged a new cybernetic body with Kryptonian technology to pass himself off as Cyborg Superman.
During the Sinestro Corps War, Sinestro recruited Cyborg Superman to join his team in exchange for the death he craved. During the final destruction of the Anti-Monitor, Cyborg Superman was inside the shield when it exploded, for which he thanked the Green Lantern Corps for his death. Unfortunately for him (and the DC universe), the Manhunters were able to bring him back to life.
12. KENTOR OMOTO
Let’s step away from Sinestro and the Sinestro Corps for a moment to talk about a more obscure Green Lantern who went rogue, Kentor Omoto. Omoto was a Lantern who first appeared in 1993’s Green Lantern Corps Quarterly #6 (Ruben Diaz, Travis Charest). When he tried to use his ring to control his world, he was stripped of his ring and his daughter was made the Green Lantern of Jayd instead.
When she heard of her father’s death, she returned to her home world to discover he wasn’t dead, but had formed a cult that worshipped him as the Golden Dragon. He tried to get her to join him, but she refused and they fought. She finally beat him by impaling him on a sword. He begged for death and when she refused, he committed suicide, leaving her responsible for his death, anyway.
During the Sinestro Corps War, one of the most dangerous members of Sinestro’s army was the microscopic virus Despotellis who could control the minds of anyone he infected. He killed Kyle Rayner’s mother as well as countless others. In Green Lantern #11 (Dave Gibbons, Patrick Gleason) in 2007, Guy Gardner went to the sector home of two Corpsmen, Tanakata Z and Quond. He found them dying and (with his last breath), Quond said Gardner was his killer.
Gardner was charged with murder, and fled when all the evidence pointed his way. Later on, Gardner was cleared when they discovered that Despotellis had infected the two Green Lanterns and turned them against each other. Tanakata Z had actually killed himself, just to make Gardner look more guilty. That’s crazy.
Enkafos was a sadistic member of the Sinestro Corps who ran the slave labor camps along with the psychic Children of the White Lobe and the Sinestro Corps’ training instructor, Arkillo. He took great joy in the suffering of the slaves he oversaw, and in the deaths he caused. In 2007’s Green Lantern Corps #16 (Dave Gibbons, Patrick Gleason, Angel Unzueta), while fighting at the sentient city of Ranx, Enkafos killed many Green Lanterns, including Chthos-Chthas Chthatis.
At a critical moment, the Guardians of the Universe changed the course of the war by rewriting the Book of Oa, allowing the Green Lantern Corps to use lethal force against their enemies. One of Green Lantern Sodam Yat’s first responses was to create an energy sword with his ring and cut Enkafos in half, avenging Chthatis.
9. CHILDREN OF THE WHITE LOBE
The Children of the White Lobe were some of the creepiest enemies of the Green Lantern Corps, a group of aliens with huge heads who looked like kids, but had amazingly powerful psychic abilities. The Children could fly, move objects with their minds and shoot psychic beams. They were also suicidal, willing to blow themselves up just to get revenge against their enemies.
During the Sinestro Corps War, the Children of the White Lobe were working with the Sinestro Corps to attack the living planet and largest member of the Green Lantern Corps, Mogo. The Children tried to create a massive Blink bomb that could destroy Mogo and everyone on it. Fortunately, the Green Lanterns (with their new lethal ability) were able to stop the attack and kill the Children before it was too late.
If a planet could be a member of a Corps, why not an entire city? Ranx was a living city created long before anyone could remember who had been a thriving hub of commerce until it was shut down by the Green Lantern Corps for harboring crime and corruption. Ranx became the home of drifters and beings trying to hide, as well as nursing a deep grudge against the Corps and Guy Gardner specifically.
During the Sinestro Corps War, Ranx became a base of operations for the evil organization in exchange for revenge against Gardner. Essentially the evil counterpart to Mogo, Ranx became the frontline when the Sinestro Corps attacked Mogo to stop his guidance of the power rings. During the battle, Sodam Yat destroyed Ranx’s power core, blowing up the city.
John Stewart has always been one of the most militant of Earth’s Green Lanterns, but in 2012, Green Lantern Corps #6 (Peter Tomasi, Fernando Pasarin) faced a tough and controversial choice. Stewart and another Green Lantern Kirrt were being tortured by an alien race called the Keepers for the access codes to Oa’s force field. When Stewart thought Kirrt was about to reveal the access codes, he made the choice to snap Kirrt’s neck.
It was a devastating moment to see a Corpsman murder another, but it also seemed to be the only way to protect Oa’s defences. Stewart made the hard choice and didn’t shy away from the consequences. After he escaped, he personally took Kirrt’s body back to his family, and allowed himself to be put on trial for the murder. Tough decision but he stood by it.
6. AMON SUR
Amon Sur was the son of Abin Sur, the Green Lantern who gave Hal Jordan his ring to join the Corps. Amon was bitter about the loss of his father, and fought against the Lanterns both on his own and as a member of the Sinestro Corps. He didn’t fare too well during the war, running away when he found out the Green Lantern Corps could use lethal force.
After the Sinestro Corps War, some Green Lanterns found Amon Sur on the planet Varva, where he had murdered the family of a dead Lantern. When they captured him, Amon said that he expected other Yellow Lanterns to find and murder the families of fallen Lanterns because of what he did. In a rage, the Green Lantern Laira killed Amon Sur.
In 2011, the Green Lantern Corps faced one of its deadliest enemies in Krona, a being from the race that would eventually become the Guardians of the Universe. In the history of the Guardians, the name Krona lived in infamy. He dared to break the taboo against looking at the beginning of time, which caused the shattering of reality into the multiverse.
Krona returned in the War of the Green Lanterns to take control of the Green Lantern Corps. He eventually went on to possess all the entities of the emotional spectrum, becoming almost unstoppable. In Green Lantern #67 (Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke), Hal Jordan and Sinestro teamed up to stop Krona with a final battle. With a blast of energy, Hal Jordan killed him, ending the war and freeing the Corps.
In the 1989 event Cosmic Odyssey, the Justice League was recruited by Darkseid to stop the Anti-Life Equation, which threatened to destroy the universe. In Cosmic Odyssey #2 (Mike Mignola, Jim Starlin), John Stewart and Martian Manhunter went to the planet Xanshi. Abandoning his partner, Stewart charged in to stop the Anti-Life Entity, only to find a Blink Bomb at the planet’s core that he couldn’t affect because it was yellow. The bomb exploded, sending it and all the natives of Xanshi into the sun.
It was an accident caused by Stewart’s overconfidence, but he still blamed himself for the destruction, and almost committed suicide because of his grief. Not only that, one of the planet’s survivors blamed him for the bomb as well, and became his enemy Fatality, dedicated to killing Green Lanterns.
In case it hasn’t been clear yet, here’s more proof that John Stewart is one of the most hardcore Green Lanterns ever. In 2011’s Green Lantern Corps #60 (Tony Bedard, Tyler Kirkham), the Green Lantern Corps was turned against itself by Krona, and one of the most devastating traitors was the sentient planet Mogo. Mogo was in charge of creating new rings and guiding them to new owners, so during the War of the Green Lanterns, Mogo was bringing in new Green Lanterns under Krona’s control and had to be stopped.
Kyle Rayner and John Stewart went to the core of Mogo wearing Blue and Indigo rings, but couldn’t reach him because of Black Lantern energy Mogo had absorbed. John Stewart used his Indigo ring to draw the Black Lantern energy into himself and used it to create a bullet capable of killing even Mogo. It was a devastating loss for the Corps, as Mogo was one of the most powerful and loved of the Green Lanterns.
2. SINESTRO (ONCE AGAIN)
The third death of Sinestro took place at the start of the 2013 “Wrath of the First Lantern” storyline, where the Green Lantern Corps fought Volthoom, the one who discovered the Emotional Spectrum and became the first Lantern. Volthoom was imprisoned by the Guardians of the Universe for millions of years, and wasn’t too happy when he escaped.
In Green Lantern #18 (Geoff Johns, Szymon Kudranski, Ardian Syaf), Simon Baz was a new recruit for the Green Lantern Corps. Baz was pulled into the Black Hand’s Dead Zone where Sinestro and Hal were trapped along with other souls of the dead. Sinestro attacked Simon trying to get his ring, and Baz couldn’t use it against Sinestro. That’s why Baz shot and killed Sinestro. Once again, Sinestro was brought back to life, this time because he was already dead.
1. EMERALD TWILIGHT
Now we’re getting back to “Emerald Twilight,” one of the worst killing sprees of any active Green Lantern. Hal Jordan was devastated when his home Coast City was destroyed, and the desire to bring the city back to life turned into an obsession. When the Guardians denied him, he flew to Oa to drain the central power battery. The Guardians sent the Green Lantern Corps to stop him, and in Green Lantern #49 (Ronz Marz, Fred Haynes) Jordan smashed his way through them, taking their rings to become more powerful along the way.
When Jordan reached the power battery and drained its energy to become the villain Parallax, his fellow Lanterns were left powerless in space for dead. He was eventually redeemed when it was discovered he was possessed by the fear entity Parallax, but the massacre has remained a stain on his legacy.

That’s right, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal broke the most surprising news of the day: Mike Brown is back in Cleveland.
Mike Brown and the Cavaliers have reached a handshake agreement on a new deal, a league source told the Akron Beacon Journal on Tuesday. An official announcement should be made Wednesday.
As you may know, Brown was the coach of the Cavaliers just three years ago, only to be fired after back-to-back 60-win seasons in a failed attempt to appease LeBron James. Believe it or not, Brown is actually the most successful coach in Cavaliers history, and his .653 winning percentage ranks sixth all-time (minimum 450 games) among coaches.
Still, depending on who you ask, you’ll get different answers, in a much different context, about Brown’s sudden return to the wine and gold.
Some will say Brown deserved to be fired after Cleveland — winners of 66 and 61 games and the No. 1 seed in the East two years in a row — failed to make the Finals in 2009-’10. In fact, they failed to make the conference finals, and were prematurely eliminated by the Boston Celtics in the eastern semi’s.
They’ll cite Brown’s inability to formulate a successful offensive “system,” but will often fail to recall LeBron James’ mysterious decision to
tank his way out of town not play as hard as he could have.
They’ll point directly to the year before, when Brown was left scrambling on the sidelines while Stan Van Gundy and the Magic ran circles around him, upsetting the Cavs in six games with the NBA Finals on the line. Again, they’ll say Brown’s offense was too stagnant, that Cleveland couldn’t keep up.
But they’ll fail to mention that Cleveland may have simply ran into the freight train that was the 2008-09′ Magic at the worst possible a time (seriously, two of their starters have been hit with PED suspensions since). They were a matchup nightmare for a young, unathletic and terribly undersized Cavaliers team.
The Magic made 62 3-pointers — at a 40 percent clip — in just 6 games.
That is outstanding any way you look at it.
Even more outstanding? Dwight Howard shot 70 percent from the free throw line in that series. He’s a career 57 percent shooter from the line. It’s safe to say things weren’t going Cleveland’s way, regardless of who was on the sideline.
It’s those fans that Cavaliers’ owner, Dan Gilbert, and General Manager, Chris Grant, will have to sell their rehiring of Brown to.
But then there are those who are already sold.
They will point to Brown’s first-class defensive mind, which helped an underwhelming Cavaliers roster become a force on that end of the floor during his five-year tenure. The following chart is courtesy of the fine folks at WaitingForNextYear.com:
|Year||Def. Rating||Opp. PPG||Opp. eFG%|
Outside of LeBron James, this was with a core group varying of Mo Williams, Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, Damon Jones, a guy named “Boobie,” Sasha Pavlovic, Donyell Marshall, Jamario Moon, a young Anderson Varejao and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Did you know who five of those players were?
They’ll tell you that Brown has never missed the playoffs in his six years as a head coach. In fact, he’s never failed to make it out of the first round.
He coached the 2006-’07 Cavaliers to the NBA Finals, who are arguably the worst collection of players to make it to the NBA’s biggest stage in the history of the game. This was a team with a starting backcourt of Eric Snow and Daniel Gibson. On some nights Sasha Pavlovic if they were so lucky.
The bottom line is this, folks: The man can coach.
Cover all of the names on the top of the resumes and rank the coaches on the market in order of most appealing. Just as if you were looking to hire somebody to run your department store, your marketing department, whatever it may be. You want somebody with experience and demonstrated results.
Brown’s name will come out on top every time (Phil Jackson being excluded).
The Cavaliers are at a crossroads. They are 64-166 since Brown was dismissed. These last three years haven’t been easy for anybody: the team, the management or the fans.
Especially the fans.
But Grant and Gilbert have a plan, a plan they have methodically put to work over the last three years. It is close to coming full-circle, or completely bottoming out. The answer to that question will be answered in large part by the head coach they bring in.
Brown came to Cleveland in year three of the LeBron era and turned a young team with a clear disparity of talent into a perennial contender in the Eastern Conference (the last time I checked, Kyrie Irving is entering his third season). He instilled the defensive habits that have made LeBron James the all-world defender that he is today. And most of all, he engrained a winning culture into the organization.
Unfortunately for Cleveland, that culture was thrown out the door when they fired Brown three years ago.
Today, it is walking back in.

New Delhi, Jun 20 : Gold prices today surged by Rs 605 to hit one-month high of Rs 28,625 per ten gram in the national capital, recording the biggest single-day gain this year, after the precious metal posted its steepest rise in nine months in the global markets. Silver also spurted by Rs 1,800 to Rs 44,900 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Sentiment bolstered after gold rose the most since September 2013 in global markets as the dollar weakened, amidst expectations that borrowing costs in the US will remain low.
The worsening crisis in Iraq also fuelled demand for bullion as an alternative investment. Gold in global markets, which normally sets price trend on the domestic front, climbed to USD 1,322.12 an ounce in Singapore, the highest level since April 12. In additions, depreciating rupee against the dollar which make imports of gold costlier also influenced the sentiment, they said.
In Delhi, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity surged by Rs 605 each to Rs 28,625 and Rs 28,425 per ten gram respectively, a level last seen on May 22. Sovereign followed suit and shot up by Rs 300 to Rs 24,900 per piece of 8 gram. In a similar fashion, silver ready spurted by Rs 1,800 to Rs 44,900 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 1,900 to Rs 44,380 per kg. Silver coins zoomed by Rs 3,000 to Rs 80,000 for buying and Rs 81,000 for selling of 100 pieces. | <urn:uuid:e79c1dfc-3704-4d84-bf2f-05df287866cb> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.india.com/business/gold-hits-one-month-high-of-rs-28625-on-global-cues-79920/ | 2016-12-03T21:49:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698541140.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170901-00294-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939121 | 327 |
Get the temperature right
The ideal temperature for your shower water is warm or cool, and not hot. A shower of no more than 40 degrees Celsius can help your skin keep working at its healthy best.
Use a loofah or natural sponge
Applying shower gel to a loofah or sponge can remove dead skin while protecting sensitive skin and distribute the gel more evenly and economically than your hands.
Shower gels have a more hygienic format to help care for skin that can react to contaminants and harsh additives.
Showering offers many skin benefits
It opens your pores and lets your skin breathe so that it is ready to receive treatments and make the most of your skincare routine. | <urn:uuid:4750fa99-5c88-455b-b29f-3e1f18139dd1> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.sanex.co.uk/products/bath-and-shower/biomeprotect-dermo-hypoallergenic-shower-gel | 2021-06-18T01:35:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487634616.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20210618013013-20210618043013-00443.warc.gz | en | 0.906933 | 146 |
2010 Lincoln MKS
Ride and handling are tuned for luxury, but there's a hint more sportiness to the car than on I recall from previous MKS models I've driven. It's still not as sporty as its platform-mate, the SHO, but it's an improvement over 2009 models. There's still plenty of luxury-car feel, though--the ride is definitely set to the softer side. Some float and wallow is apparent, although there is less crashing over bumps and harshness over broken pavement than before.
On the inside, the interior is handsome, but minor details disappoint. There's too much plastic in what should be a premium cabin, and even some of the soft-touch surfaces feel a little cheap. There's no excuse for the presence of some of the same switchgear that is found is much cheaper Ford products.
Getting the seating position just right isn't easy, but at least most controls are within easy reach of the driver. Another plus is the presence of old-fashioned control knobs for the certain audio and climate-control functions. And as usual, Sync is a system that generally user-friendly.
I say in general, because the voice-recognition system wasn't always on top of its game--I ended up in a screaming match with the system in traffic in downtown Chicago. Since an argument with an artificially intelligent system is one that you cannot win, I gave up out of frustration, tired of repeating myself. Ford says that the next generation of Sync, unveiled earlier this month, will eliminate some of the redundant steps that plaque the current system. Let's hope it also hears commands correctly on the first try.
The park-assist feature could come in handy for city-dwellers, but the one time I used it to attempt to parallel park, it was a bit off when it came to lining up the car--I did better when I deactivated the system and parked it myself the old-fashioned way. Still, with some getting used to, I think the system could be worth it for urbanites who parallel park frequently.
Ecoboost may add power, but in the case of this test car, it did not add fuel-economy--I averaged 16.5 miles per gallon over almost 114 miles of mixed city and highway driving. The extra weight of the all-wheel drive hardware probably doesn't help here. EPA ratings are 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
When it was introduced for the 2009 model year, I felt that the MKS was a step in the right direction for Lincoln, despite its flaws. Adding the EcoBoost engine makes it better, and overall, the car felt more buttoned-down than previous versions I've driven. The ride-and-handling balance between soft and sporty is improved, although Ford still has some work to do here. And the interior, while nice enough, isn't even in the same class as that of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse--which costs much less--let alone in the same class as Lexus or Audi.
The 2010 MKS is better than the 2009 version. Now, it just needs to take a few more steps along the current path, and it will then be a complete enough car to mount a serious challenge in its class. | <urn:uuid:8c9828fc-9db5-48eb-91a7-f6b8a79fa4e1> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.motorauthority.com/review/1042081_driven-2010-lincoln-mks_page-2_2 | 2016-05-27T16:40:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276964.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00066-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967066 | 675 |

Susanna Lau, aka Susie Bubble, started Style Bubble in London in 2006. Since then, she has proved how successful a fashion blog can be and works on her's full time in addition to being a sought after freelance writer.
Over tea in Covent Garden Hotel, she chatted about witch costumes, dancing and exactly what we should invest in this season.
I've got £250 to spend on a key Spring/Summer 2013 piece. What should I buy?
Sculptural is big. Invest in anything with a ruffle around the neckline- think clean lines, think 1950s/ 1960s couture. Designer wise, think Chloe and Balenciaga. Colours this S/S are white (in a really big way), pale blues and pinks. Also, oversized check and block stripes!
You're dressing up as a witch for a party and can choose any designer to make your costume. Who do you choose and why?
(Before I even finish the question) I'd be a fairy witch! My designer of choice would be Meadham Kirchoff or vintage John Galliano because I'd need lots of chiffon and trailing for dramatic effect!
What book will be in your bag during London Fashion Week?
Anything I can dip in and out of, so probably something I've read a hundred times before. Basically, anything by Emile Francois Zola.
What's your favourite song to dance to?
I love M83, anything by them.
What your next big piece about?
I'm going to Scotland to write a feature on Barrie Knitwear which is owned by Chanel. I like to cover different stories and really give my own skew on things.
Was Stella McCartney a worthy winner at the British Fashion Awards?
Yes, she's had an amazing year. Although I'd like to have seen Christopher Kane win.
And of PPR buying a chunky stake in Christopher Kane's label?
Amazing news! I was so happy for him. This will mean expansion, new lines, new stores and maybe even a Paris show. Although I hope PPR keep him in London, he loves London.

Yeah, just about everything is crazy in California. I'm more interested in the dash repair they did for you. Can you share their information?The kit for the rear seat came from re-originals here in the US. The local upholstery shops are crazy $$ here in northern california although even with a kit recovering seats is a lot of work and your hands will know after you finish!

|Name:||E74 Solid Reactive|
|Box Finish:||1000 Abralon|
The Alien Abduction is the latest high performance release for Elite. This ball uses the fiercely aggressive E74 solid reactive coverstock around the Abductor core. This combination makes for a very strong bowling ball that is best for heavily oiled conditions.
We had the best reaction on our long, heavy test pattern. The 1000 Abralon solid cover made this pattern look easy for all three testers. Stroker has the most trouble on this pattern usually but, with the Alien Abduction, he was able to strike on it easily. Cranker and Tweener had just as good a reaction on this pattern.

How to Fix Cracked Stucco on a House
Cracked Stucco on a House? What Are the Steps to Stucco Repair? Stucco cracks occur due to different causes. Depending on the size and pattern, cracks can be caused by improper application of the metal lathe or poor design. A professional must be contacted for any of these problems. Listed below are some steps to fix cracked stucco. Follow these steps to get your home back to its former glory.
Before beginning the repair process, make sure to determine the exact cause of the crack. If the crack is due to settling, you can choose to do the repairs yourself, or you can call Stucco Repair to do the job. Either way, you must prevent rainwater from penetrating the crack because it can cause a bigger problem. Depending on the type of crack, a professional can perform both DIY and professional stucco repair.
Small cracks in stucco are easy to repair and cost less than $30. If you are handy with tools, you can buy a pre-mixed stucco repair kit for around $15. However, large cracks are best repaired by a professional because it requires a skilled team. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need to remove loose pieces of stucco before attempting to repair them. In addition, you can also purchase a pre-mixed bucket of stucco for around $15.
If a large crack in stucco is causing problems, you can try filling the crack with paint or acrylic exterior caulk. You can even apply a thin layer of the caulk if you’re not sure which method to choose. After the repairs have been made, you can paint the area to match the rest of the stucco. It will take about an hour to repair one wall. Experienced stucco repair professionals may take less time.
Whether you opt for stucco repair or stucco replacement, the most important thing to do is to understand the difference between the two. Stucco repair is the easier option, and replacement is a more complex and costly task. For the most part, the repair is enough, but if a deeper problem exists, you may need to get rid of it. If you’re unsure, you can ask a professional for help. They will know the difference between the two.
Using the right method for stucco repair will depend on several factors. The size of the crack or hole, your experience, and the warning signs of a larger problem will influence the best method for your needs. Patching products vary in size and purpose, so use the right one for the specific crack or hole. If you’re working with a small crack, you can use a wire brush to add texture to the patch.
Before applying the new coat, you need to carefully spread the patch on the affected area and level it with a leveling trowel. Once the patch is completely dry, you can remove the plastic sheet. Then, apply a second coat of stucco. Apply a 3/8-inch-thick coat of the mixture. Then, use a brick trowel to pack down the patch and smooth it out. This process is repeated for every other side of the damaged area until it’s even.
If you’ve noticed cracks or stains on your stucco, you should seek immediate repair. Despite its durability, it’s vulnerable to damage. Early detection of damage can prevent the need for costly repairs and save you money. Fortunately, there are a number of options for homeowners to repair their stucco. To start, you should check the exterior of your house for signs of water damage. This will give you a clearer picture of what type of repairs need to be made to restore the damaged stucco.
Apply the compound to the damaged area using a rubber float. Apply a layer of compound every quarter-inch until the patch is flush with the surrounding stucco. Rub off excess compound using a sponge to match the surrounding texture. If you’re applying a large patch to a small area, you may need to apply several layers to match the original stucco thickness. Each coat should be about 1/4-inch thick and dry over the next 24 hours. | <urn:uuid:aa5e2717-8c7c-4cb1-9e8e-36da6a7ebc06> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.tampabayraptorrescue.org/how-to-fix-cracked-stucco-on-a-house/ | 2023-03-20T18:43:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943555.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230320175948-20230320205948-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.938332 | 888 |
As 6th graders have relaxed and wound down from their amazing work with the wax museum, they have now moved on to their next assignment. In Ms Katie’s English class students have learned the purpose behind Greek vases. Many students made connections to some example vases, explaining how they have seen vases similar to those or how they understood the meaning behind the pictures drawn on the vases.
After studying some vases and reviewing a few mythical stories, students have now been assigned to make a Greek vase of their own. Using the knowledge of the mythological stories we have learned in class, students will create a draft of their own vase. Then, using designs they learned about, they will create a paper mache version of their own interpretation of a Greek vase. | <urn:uuid:f2847739-9295-47be-86ee-f190d226e49b> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://ecarvada.org/news/2016/2/10/sixth-graders-learn-about-greek-vases | 2017-09-21T05:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687642.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921044627-20170921064627-00258.warc.gz | en | 0.972949 | 161 |
The Tea Party freshman who wormed his way into all our hearts when he held up some lame sign reading “Drilling = Jobs” at Obama’s fancy Jobs speech* like some sort of fainting Claymaniac at an American Idol “concert,” has been spotted taking in a doubtlessly cuss- and reefer-filled show by “urban” “entertainers” Snoop Dogg (Too High), a known Crip, and Kanye West (George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People), a known blah.
The concert, which capped a gala for Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation in New Orleans, was hosted by known lesbian Ellen Degeneres and known Italian Emeril Lagasse, and was attended by known Haitian community organizer Sean Penn.
When will Rep. Jeff Landry’s re-education begin?

Rinext Riosen accused of raping an 11-year-old girl, getting her pregnant
A 38-year-old man was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct after a 12-year-old girl reported waking up with her shorts removed and pain to her private parts, according to a magistrate's complaint.
Court documents state the girl, who was 11 at the time is pregnant.
Rinext Riosen was charged in the Superior Court of Guam on Friday.
The incident happened in November or December last year, documents state.
The girl told police she got home from school and saw Riosen outside with some friends, documents state.
She went inside, saw a glass that she thought was water and drank it. It tasted sweet like it had sugar in it and soon after she felt tired and sleepy, documents state.
The girl said she went to her bedroom and fell asleep at about 3 or 4 p.m., the court complaints state.
When she woke up at about 1 a.m. her shorts were past her knees and she went to the bathroom, documents state. She felt pain to her private parts, documents state.
She said she didn't mention the incident to anyone.
Late last month, Riosen told the girl not to tell her mom and that he was the one who did that to her, the charging documents state.
The girl took that statement to mean he had sex with her and was the one who made her pregnant, documents state. | <urn:uuid:f3986535-a41c-40f6-a535-023a90ce98cd> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.guampdn.com/story/news/2019/05/24/rinext-riosen-accused-raping-girl-getting-her-pregnant-guam-news-court-crime/1218475001/ | 2020-11-30T17:39:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141216897.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130161537-20201130191537-00266.warc.gz | en | 0.992374 | 310 |
This is a place boasting a rich history, exceptional nature, life-changing adventures, as well as mouthwatering cuisine.
Perhaps if you are reading this, you already decided to come to Georgia, but you’re not sure when. Don’t worry, you can’t go wrong as Georgia is the kind of country where you can spend a memorable time in the spring, summer, fall, and winter.
This country explodes with green colours in spring, starting a new cycle of the seasons' wheel. The ancient Georgian historical monuments located on the mountains and in the valleys look spectacular all-year-round, but they take on a sublime appearance as the plants and flowers around them start to blossom.
Above the ancient capital of Mtskheta, gazing down from Jvari Monastery upon the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi Rivers, where the unique Svetitskhoveli Church stands, is an untold pleasure. Elsewhere, you can visit cities that are carved into cliffs, Uplistsikhe and Vardzia, or travel to the semi-desert and take inspiration from the unfathomable architecture of the Davit Gareji Monastery or Natlismtsemeli Complex. Meanwhile, you will be fascinated by the frescos of the Gelati and Bagrati Cathedrals.
There are more than 1,000 significant historical monuments in Georgia, while it is an endless joy to wander through the nature of Georgia, including its deciduous, pine, alpine, and subtropical forests. Meanwhile, with more than 90 lakes and around 60 waterfalls, those who love hiking are in for a genuine adventure.
The natural settings and historical monuments of Georgia on hot days of summer are of course unforgettable, but most shrewd tourists tend to cool down in the mountainous delights of Svaneti, Tusheti, Khevsureti, and Upper Ajara.
Hikers can scale Kazbegi, Ushba, and Tetnuldi, while those looking for something more cozy can wander into the staggering caves of Sataplia, Prometheus, and Tetra. Overall, there are about 30 caves in Georgia, as well as more than 26,000 rivers, many of which are suitable for rafting or kayaking.
Of course, those looking to party will head to the Black Sea in summer, where there are resorts aplenty. Family holidays are also immensely popular at this time of year in Batumi and the surrounding towns and villages.
Fall in Georgia is many people’s favourite time of year to visit Georgia. In particular, its mountains and valleys awash with red and yellow colors are incomparable. The temperature is usually warm and comfortable making all regions and their forests, lakes, waterfalls, and caves a glorious experience to visit.
Georgia in the fall season has a unique feeling of abundance. This is perhaps best sampled by partaking in the grape harvest, picking off a bunch of ripe grapes with your own hand, placing them in the wine press, pressing them, and eventually of course tasting a new wine. Then, after you can learn how churchkhela is made, you will have had a Georgian fall to remember.
Since winter in much of Georgia is not largely characterized by heavy snow or biting winds, this can also be an amazing time to visit.
Of course, there is plentiful snow at the European-style winter resorts of Gudauri, Mestia, Bakuriani, and Goderdzi, where you can ski on- and off-piste, go snowboarding, take a ski tour, or even go heliskiing or paragliding. A whole world of adventure awaits.
At every such resort, there are contests and tournaments that you can take part in. Complementing all of these attractions and activities is of course the delicious Georgian cuisine, offering a gastronomic revelation any time of year. | <urn:uuid:17218023-9340-4d2b-ac70-21d39139a293> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://georgia.travel/why-georgia-the-seasons | 2023-03-31T19:45:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949678.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20230331175950-20230331205950-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.943061 | 818 |
Property for sale in Brazil
Brazil is one of the largest countries of the South American and it extends from the Amazon basin in the north to the Iguaçu Falls in the south. Its symbolic city is Rio de Janeiro, symbolized by the statue of Christ the Redeemer that rises for 38 meters on the top of Mount Corcovado and it is famous for the crowded beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, as well as for the huge and colourful Carnival characterized by theme carts parades, flashy costumes, music and samba.
However, its capital is Brasilia.
Brazil is wet from the Atlantic Ocean to the east, to the north it borders the French overseas department of French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana and Venezuela, to the northwest with Colombia, to the west with Peru and Bolivia, to the south -over with Paraguay and Argentina, and to the south with Uruguay. It borders with all the countries of South America, except for Ecuador and Chile.
In recent years the economy and politics of Brazil have radically changed, making the country a rising star of South America. With a new competition, the menacing inflation has been significantly reduced. The economy is now stable and is rapidly growing year by year. As a result, it is expected by economics experts that Brazil will become one of the 5 dominant economies in the world within the next decade.
There are many reasons for buying properties for sale in Brazil.
An important reason is certainly that buildings are becoming more and more environmentally friendly.
The Brazilian government has made a huge effort to encourage foreign buyers to invest in properties for sale in Brazil. This led to a direct purchasing process without restrictions for foreign investors. Anyone can buy a property for sale in Brazil, regardless of whether the buyer is a resident of Brazil or not. The only restriction applies to properties in rural areas or to boarding houses in other countries that only Brazilian residents are allowed to purchase.
With investments in tourism that is another key priority of the Brazilian government, the demand for holiday homes and holiday villas has steadily increased. Because of an insurance visa that offers permanent residence permits to retirees with a certain pension tax, the pension community request offers another investment opportunity that is not subject to seasonal influences.
The demand for housing is generally very high in Brazil. Currently, the country lacks more than 8 million homes, a number that is increasing. This will result in massive construction of homes within the next few years, so there will be enormous potential for investors who do not want to take ownership of themselves.
If you want to know where to buy a property for sale in Brazil you should know that Brazil currently has one of the fastest growing real estate markets in the world. It offers a wide variety of properties for sale in Brazil that adapt to all tastes and budgets. For now, property prices are considered low but experts say they will double within the next two years.
Brazil offers a large amount of beach houses at a reasonable price, depending on the area. At present, the area considered the most promising for investments in properties for sale in Brazil is the North East, including the states of Bahia, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. Property prices in this part of the country are already exploding but they are still in such a low level that an investment will most likely bear fruit.
If you intend to buy property for sale in Brazil, above all in big cities, prices will probably be considerably higher but still below the European and US levels.
The real estate sector is one of the main axes of the economy and occupies a strategic position in the generation of jobs in the country. By 2018, trends in the real estate market indicate that it should receive new investments. This is because Brazil is fighting the economic crisis.
Although the real estate market trends in 2018 are positive, caution should be exercised when investing in this segment. Keeping your feet on the ground is essential, because, in general, the real estate sector usually stabilizes only after the economy has consolidated as a whole.

Quote du jour: “I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.”
Me: I need to put up a post on my blog.
Inner critic:Why? Nobody ever reads it.
Inner paranoiac: Besides, even if someone does read it, they'll give you advice!!!
Me: Because I need to hold myself accountable. I can go a few weeks keeping up the daily exercising without blogging about it, but something always happens to derail me, and once that happens, it's hard to get back into it.
Inner slug: Stop! I'm blushing.
Inner defeatist: Look, it's simple. This week, you've been working 10 hour days. Add that to the 3 hours of daily commute and 8 hours of sleep, and that leaves you one hour in the day to eat, exercise, shower, weed the yard, mow the lawn, and whine about how tired you are. What do you expect?
Me: The only solution I can see (aside from not working 10 hour days) is to build exercise into the commute.
Inner selves: Why not just put up a picture of Hugh Jackman exercising instead?
Exercise du jour: Callanetics this evening. Next week, plan B.

Do You Miss the Thunder Mountain Rail Line?
This past December I was watching a Christmas film on Hallmark Channel and was stunned to see a scene from my youth.
You can’t see everything with your eyes on the highway and nobody serves you dinner safely while you’re driving
One character was at a train station meeting a friend who arrived by rail. It was the Arcade & Attica Railroad. When I was a boy it was an excursion line for day trips. Actors would stage a train robbery and a musician would wander the aisles playing old songs on a guitar.
It struck me someone working on the movie must have remembered it and incorporated it into a scene about small town life.
Over the weekend I was looking for details on Idaho’s Thunder Mountain Line. Apparently it may never reopen. The Great Recession cut into business and many people simply enjoy the scenery by car but, still. You can’t see everything with your eyes on the highway and nobody serves you dinner safely while you’re driving. Kids may never again enjoy the experience at a fading part of what is sometimes called Americana. A darn shame! | <urn:uuid:88e9b760-245f-4844-8d42-5013088e0b61> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://kezj.com/do-you-miss-the-thunder-mountain-rail-line/ | 2018-03-21T14:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647660.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321141313-20180321161313-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.972485 | 239 |

Hyundai Canada revealed pricing on its Veloster Turbo model Monday.
MSRP for the manual model is $25,999 while the automatic will go for $27,249. Matte Grey paint will cost an additional $1,000.
Adding freight, delivery, fees and taxes (in Ontario) pushes the manual turbo over $31,000 — well into the territory of a pre-owned BMW 3 Series, Infiniti G37 or Audi A3.
In Canada, the Veloster Turbo will come in one trim level, containing all the equipment from the N/A V Tech Package and adds Turbo equipment – projector lights with LED accents, leather seats, body kit, etc.
The regular Veloster also receives pricing and other changes for 2013. Canadian Veloster pricing is as follows:
Base 6MT – $19,499
Base 6DCT – $20,899
Tech 6MT – $22,999
Tech 6DCT – $24,399
Other changes include a redesign of the front steering knuckle, resulting in the brake caliper being moved to the other side of the disc. Rear parking sensors have been added as standard equipment across all Veloster models. The engine on DCT models has been re-tuned to deliver more low-end torque. The output of DCT-equipped cars has been revised to 132 horsepower and 120 lb.-ft. of torque. While the peak numbers are slightly lower, the car will now offer better performance in the bottom end of the rev range. | <urn:uuid:a2a1a808-8533-47cd-b0f4-97bc2b5e3367> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/hyundai-canada-prices-veloster-turbo | 2019-02-21T10:20:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247503844.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221091728-20190221113728-00388.warc.gz | en | 0.927048 | 311 |

The ultimate large diameter wide angle zoom lens optimised for full frame mirrorless cameras and perfect for astrophotography with astonishing resolution. One FLD glass and five SLD glass elements are appropriately arranged to suppress chromatic aberration to the edge of the frame. Three aspherical lenses, including a large-diameter aspherical lens at the foremost surface, are used to effectively minimize coma flare, etc., thereby achieving mind-blowing resolution. The super multi-layer coating is combined with a newly developed NPC (Nano Porous Coating). The lens has been designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight. Incorporating a stepping motor enables the high speed, quiet AF drive. Shooting is comfortable even in target AF such as Face/Eye Detection AF and during video shooting. The AFL button which can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens. Furthermore, the lens features a dust- and splash-proof structure, along with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the frontmost surface of the lens, which further supports shooting in various environments. The lens comes with a rear filter holder equipped with a fall prevention lock for attaching sheet type rear filters for shooting starry skies.

Coca-Cola Chief Executive Muhtar Kent sees a mixed bag of effects from President Donald Trump’s policies, ranging from a travel ban that conflicts with the company’s values to taxation changes that would help its bottom line.
Kent shared his views Thursday as Coca-Cola also reported a mixed bag of financial results for the final three months of last year.
Coca-Cola’s profits fell 56 percent in the fourth quarter, from $1.2 billion a year earlier to $547 million, as the strong dollar overseas and the company’s ongoing re-tooling of its bottling operations nipped 6 percent off the company’s revenue.
Much of the reported profit decline came from $919 million in charges, mostly related to shedding its bottling operations in North America. Coca-Cola executives said that re-tooling will eventually result in more efficient, more profitable operations.
Adjusting for its sell-off of some bottling units, which resulted in smaller operations and smaller sales, Coca-Cola said its “organic” revenue grew 6 percent in the quarter.
Its similarly adjusted net income increased 7 percent, the company said, after also backing out the effects of the strong dollar, which made overseas profits appear smaller when translated into dollars.
For the full year, skipping such adjustments, Coca-Cola reported a 4 percent decline in revenues in 2016, to $41.9 billion, and an 11 percent decline in net income, to $6.5 billion.
Kent highlighted both pros and cons for the Atlanta soft drink giant as Trump continues to shake up things.
Late last year Coca-Cola announced that Kent is stepping down on May 1 after nine years as CEO, but will remain chairman of the board. The incoming CEO is James Quincey, now Coke’s chief operating officer.
Kent welcomed the administration’s plans to seek cuts to the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent — a goal Coca-Cola has supported for years. “Corporate tax reform will be good for American business and for all American companies,” he said.
Echoing Trump’s campaign slogan to “make America great again,” Kent added, “We’re an American-based company…We want America to succeed. There’s nobody that wants America to succeed more than us.”
But Kent was also one of several CEOs at major U.S. companies who criticized Trump’s recent executive order instituting a travel ban on people from seven mostly-Muslim countries, and he stuck to his guns Thursday.
“I made the public statement because of … how resolute we are in our commitment to diversity,” said Kent. Trump’s ban is “counter to our core beliefs,” he said.
Kent likewise expressed worry about Trump’s promises to reverse U.S. trade pacts with Mexico and other countries, and to tackle what the president called China’s unfair trade practices. Both Mexico and China were strong markets for Coca-Cola in the fourth quarter.
Such “rhetoric will have a negative impact on global trade,” Kent said.
But Kent also said he is confident that Coca-Cola will be able to weather any potential overseas backlash to Trump’s policies, because its products are sold in more than 200 countries by locally-owned businesses.
Even in past years when “Brand America” was at a low point overseas, he said, “internationally we didn’t suffer.” | <urn:uuid:d89ff6e8-a409-4717-98b4-c240e0292f9a> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.ajc.com/business/coca-cola-has-mixed-views-trump-mixed-financial-results/O2oVsJ4PNhWGvR1YiMrrSO/ | 2018-03-19T21:49:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647153.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319214457-20180319234457-00623.warc.gz | en | 0.963014 | 743 |
When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last year I was amazed that the doctor called her at her office, during work hours, to tell her the news. I guess I thought these things were told to you in person, maybe with the support of a family member or friend by your side. I was even more surprised when we went to meet with him and he called her cancer “garden variety breast cancer”. I suppose that’s a good thing, but when you think of your mother and cancer, “garden variety” are not the next words you expect to hear. I was almost offended. This is my mother we were talking about.
In my mind there is nothing “garden variety” about her! It was a scary time for all of us. The fear of the unknown can be a very powerful thing. There are endless horrible answers to the question “What if…?” What if it spreads? What if they can’t remove it? What if she has to be off of work for an extended period of time? There were many appointments, two surgeries and a week of intense radiation treatment. There was my sister passing out at one of the appointments that she took my mother to. There was bonding in hospital cafeterias between my siblings and I as we all stepped up to do what we could to help our mother.
Looking back now, it all seems to have gone surprisingly quick. I had these ideas in my head of every person who has cancer having to go for treatment for many weeks, losing their hair, becoming very weak and sick. My mother had none of that. She was tired at times, she was frustrated and she longed for a holistic cure. However, because her cancer was of the “garden variety”, she qualified for a quick plan of action for recovery.
I am happy to report that nearly a year and a half later and she is doing well. I share this story just to let others know that “garden variety” is not a bad thing. It means that it’s something the doctors see all of the time and are very experienced at treating. They have in-depth knowledge of how the cancer reacts, what needs to be done and what the best treatment options are.
So while my mother in all of her feistiness is anything but your typical garden-variety type of lady, I was happy her cancer was a common type that was fairly easily diagnosed and treated. | <urn:uuid:f4edd1dd-3a0b-4823-81b5-d0d7c6da1d6f> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.knowcancer.com/blog/garden-variety-breast-cancer/ | 2017-02-21T14:26:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170741.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00352-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.99379 | 514 |
Juniper Network's recently installed EMEA distribution boss admitted he has a "big job of work" to untangle its web of wholesalers across the region and determine which it wants to keep on board and which will be jettisoned.
Industry vet Will Hamber was confirmed as the networking firm's distie bigwig last month after joining from Edge-Core Networks. Prior to the Edge-core gig, he was EMEA channel sales director for HP Networking.
Juniper has more than 30 distributors across the region that Hamber will inevitably whittle down, but not before an "evaluation" process has concluded between now and year-end.
"It is a big job of work there, we are opening up some pretty large discussions," he told The Channel.
"The economic situation is not good so if we've got a lot of partners in one country it doesn't make sense," he added.
In the UK, Juniper works with eight distributors including Azlan, Espion, Arrow ECS, CMI Corporation, Avnet TS, Data Solutions, Westcon Group and Computerlinks.
Hamber claimed Juniper needs pan-regional distributors to manage global implementations, but also requires national partners too "because what works in the UK might not work in a country in Eastern Europe".
"We are evaluating [that landscape] but it is more difficult than saying we need two distributors per country; there are more variables," Hamber concluded. ® | <urn:uuid:339cd738-82e7-456f-b09f-2211a558dc02> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2012/06/18/hamber_reviewing_distributors/ | 2016-08-28T14:07:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982939917.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200859-00232-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966911 | 305 |
Bags packed, passport at hand – what else was there? Being a photographer on holiday means that you will often want to take all the essentials without being burdened with too much heavy equipment. With some careful planning, you should be able to travel wisely with your kit, whilst having everything you need at hand. Here are some hints and tips on what you need to do before you go.
Whilst people take new clothes on holiday all the time, taking your shiny new equipment abroad is not usually a god idea. For one thing you should take items that you are completely familiar with and don’t need to spend time reading the instructions to use.
Next make sure everything is working well. Clean everything out – the lens, the camera with a brush and blower brush. Get together all the batters you will need – if your camera takes standard batteries then you know you can always buy these whilst you are on holiday. However, if your camera uses a rechargeable one, you may want to buy a spare – this way, one can always be charging when the other is in use.
Make sure you have an adaptor for the charger. Memory is also very important – make sure you have enough – one large card is good, but two smaller ones are better. Smaller memory cards are less likely to become corrupt, and if you lose one, at least you will still have the other.
Remember to check air port regulations since they are strict. Make sure your camera bags fit into the guidelines as you will probably want to carry your equipment on board an aircraft. Beware – if it is too big to take on as hand luggage they may make you put it into cargo, which is not a good idea.
A quick equipment checklist:
1. Your camera body and a spare if necessary
2. A standard lens
3. A telephoto lens (optional)
4. A wide angle lens (optional)
6. Camera bags – one for all your equipment, one for day outs.
7. Memory cards
9. Charger for batteries
10. Cleaning tools
11. Tripod (optional) or better, a Gorilla pod which is a small tripod that can attach itself anywhere
12. Travel Guides
13. Camera manual if necessary
Its also a great idea to take a compact camera for days that you don’t feel like taking your big camera around or when you are out with the family. Also, if you are going swimming or underwater diving, you may want to buy a single use waterproof camera rather than investing in housing for your SLR.
A notebook is also useful. Before you go away make a list of the sites you want to see and investigate how you may want to shoot them. Perhaps see how the landmark has been photographed before and think about how you can do it differently. Make a note of these places and where they are, how you would get to them, so that you don’t forget to take pictures.

The eternal question - am I doing the right thing; am I going in the right direction?
How do you know when to make a change in your career? How can you work out if you're doing the right thing? Incubation is the time of realignment in your life - don't rush it, but do get active.
I’m just back from six weeks of travel, three of which was coaching in Nepal. What an experience - I was so impressed with the young women I met there and the speed with which they set up their lives.
The urgency for change is inevitably high when a young woman is expected to be married and looking after her in-laws by the age of 28, as well as working and raising kids. With all that to face so early on in life, the question of where you are going becomes really important. There isn’t time for mistakes or changes because by the time you’re married the stage is set.
In the West, however there is time to have another go and try out something completely different. When I interviewed people for my book, The Psychology of Success, I found that the ones who got most out of their lives went with the occupation that excited them most at the time. They didn’t just carry on when the shine had worn off, they looked out for the next opportunity. They worked really hard at each job, but never limited themselves to one option.
It’s easy to feel limited
I can write that quite calmly, but I know how easy it is to feel urgent for change while believing you have no choice, even when you know you’re in the wrong place.
It’s also easy to feel the limitation of skill and training. Having spent years learning a specific skill, it’s a real challenge to say ‘I got it wrong; I don’t want to do this anymore.’
However, if you see yourself as having the option for more than one career, then the pressure to get it right first time reduces. Whatever you long to do now – do it. And be ready to change if your enthusiasm wanes.
Dissatisfaction is a real spur to action. Feeling urgent or frustrated makes you think and review - just like those young women in Nepal. Without that, you'll stay in your comfort zone - after all, who bothers to analyse happiness - we just go with it!
So if you’re unsure or dissatisfied with your career or life right now, it could be the best thing to happen to you. And it probably means you're in incubation.
Incubation is the time full of confusion that precedes any major change. You don’t know what you need to do, you just know something isn’t right. Not knowing can feel really uncomfortable, but you’ll be reviewing where you are in your career; contemplating options; looking for opportunities. You’ll also be exploring your deepest values, desires and dreams.
Adjust your thinking and see incubation as it truly is – caterpillar to butterfly – and the doors will start to open.
Take hold of your incubation phase
You’ll get through incubation more effectively and quicker if you’re active about your internal change. Contemplate the following questions, then let them rest in the back of your mind as you go about your day:
- Consider your present situation: what you enjoy and don’t enjoy and how it’s affecting your life. Get into detail and see where you have the option for change. Work on the basis that the only person you can guarantee changing is yourself and think about how you might improve or adjust your situation.
- Think about how might you be part of the problem. Is there something you’ve wanted to do but don’t believe will be accepted; something you’ve wanted to say, but haven’t had the courage; an idea that you believe will benefit your work, but you’ve kept it to yourself. If so, how do you stop yourself taking action and what’s the worst that could happen if you take a risk?
- What in your life does excite you – and I don’t mean watching the latest TV drama or going out with your partner! Think about the articles on Facebook or Twitter that always grab your attention; the friends you envy because of the work they do; the course you’ve always wanted to take, but didn’t think you were bright enough.
- Read my article on Core Talent and define the red thread that runs through everything you’ve done and everything that floats your boat. As you consider other options, measure against your core talent and make sure it will let you use it fully.
- Review your attitude to risk. Are you willing to try something new and different? How would it challenge you and would that be good or disastrous? Define your parameters – what will you accept and what is beyond the pale – and take that into account when you consider new options.
When you stop yourself doing something you believe to be right you have to deaden your energy, so it’s possible you are the problem and not the situation. Taking the action you’ve been avoiding could free you up for something new and better without the need for major changes.
These all give you clues about where your real interest lies at this point in time. Take each one that comes to mind and give serious thought to how you might get more involved. As you think about actually doing something, you’ll soon recognise whether this is a pipe dream or a real option. If your energy remains high and you come up with ideas for how to do it, keep it on your agenda and go exploring more.
It’s easy to feel pressured into action, but if you focus your energy internally at the outset you’re less likely to make the mistake of rushing to the ‘less worse’ option. Get active with your incubation. Find out more about yourself and you be surprised where you end up.
If you have questions about your process, write and let me know. We can tackle it together.

Gifts, Entertainment and Gratuities
Both as a matter of sound procurement practice and basic business integrity, we at Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation must make our purchase decisions solely on the basis of which suppliers offer the best value for the goods and services we need. We avoid doing anything that suggests that our purchase decision may be influenced by any irrelevant or improper consideration, whether illegal, such as a kickback or bribe, or technically legal, such as personal friendship, favors, gifts or free entertainment.
Business with suppliers and customers should always be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and in keeping with irreproachable standards of business and professional ethics. The giving and/or receipt of gifts (including the use of property) may raise questions of propriety concerning the relationship between the giver and receiver of the gift.
Accordingly, and accepting only noncash gifts of insignificant value (under $25 USD), no employee or member of the employee’s family may accept a gift from any supplier of goods or services to Federal-Mogul Motorparts or from any customer of Federal-Mogul Motorparts, without prior disclosure to the Plant Manager or appropriate management.
Notwithstanding the disclosure requirement, no employee or family members may receive a cash equivalent from any supplier or customer. Employees should in no way benefit financially due to transactions between Federal-Mogul Motorparts and any third party with or without prior approval from the Plant Manager or appropriate management.
Entertainment provided or funded by Federal-Mogul Motorparts suppliers or customers for Federal-Mogul Motorparts employees or members of their families must be reasonably related to the business at hand and must not be so lavish as to give rise to even the impression that special influence is being sought. All offers of unreasonable lavish entertainment and all questions relating to the propriety of entertainment should be directed to the Plant Manager or appropriate management.
Inevitably, there will be gray areas that our employees will address using their common sense and good judgment. This policy is based upon the National Association of Purchasing Management (NAPM) “Principles & Standards of Purchasing Practice” guidelines. | <urn:uuid:9dc6d875-a155-448c-9b1f-de9721b86994> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.fmmotorparts.co.uk/suppliers/purchasing/ethics-statement.html | 2018-05-21T20:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864544.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521200606-20180521220606-00505.warc.gz | en | 0.923853 | 440 |
As channeled by Aisha North – February 10, 2013
As you have mayhaps already ascertained, the intensity has once more been turned up a notch. In other words, more information and more light is coming your way, and as this as always is being directed through your physical body, some symptoms may occur.
We know that you are not novices in this, and as such, the outfall from all of this energetic uprising will not come as a surprise to any of you. However, this time there might be a few rather interesting ”symptoms” coming up. We do not speak of the usual ones, the ones that your body seems to exhibit on a regular basis when it is immersed in such a stream of energy and light as the one you are currently in. No, we speak of other, more esoteric ones to call them that.
You see, your mind and your body will start to act as if they are somewhat out of synch in the days ahead, and we thought it best to forewarn you of this lest you should think that you are actually losing your grip on your sanity. That is not what is happening, rather, what is happening is that the old ”insanity” of third density existence is starting to lose its hold on you, and therefore you will at times feel as if you and your body have become separated in some ways. This may sound strange, but we think you will all notice when it starts to happen.
So again we tell you that all is well, and even if you at times will feel that you are totally disconnected from the material world, you are not about to just drift out into the ethers. This is again one of those adjustment periods, where you are slowly being put through the transition from living in the third density world in a third density body and into the next level. You see, as it is with everything in this process, it cannot be accomplished in one fell swoop. That would not only knock you off your feet, but it would literally render you unable to cope in any way. Therefore, we will guide you all through it, and this time, the process will involve a feeling of detachment from your physical body.
Just remember, the reason you are all here in the first place is to accomplish this transition whilst still residing within said body, so you are not about to float off into space unhindered by that at times rather burdersome accomplice. For you are a team, and the spirit and soul that is the real you have been teamed up with this current body in order for you to be able to fulfill this journey together. We know that at times the trappings of being in a physical body will feel to be a burden and certainly impose some unwanted limitations to your quest, but that is now about to change.
For now, you will all be led on those first and perhaps rather faltering steps on this journey towards being able to exist both within these confines while simultaneously expanding your consciousness outside it. In other words, you will be able to lead a very interesting double life in the not too distant future, and you will do so whilst seemingly appearing as just another ordinary citizen on the outside. But your life will be filled with wonders indeed, and with it, some extra challenges.
For starting to live a life that encompasses so much more than what you have been able to experience first hand up until now, will not go off seamlessly at first. Hence, this gradual awakening to the fact that you can actually master such a way of life. After all, it is not by learning you will know this, it is by remembering, and as such this journey will ignite many a lost memory within you all.
So let us just repeat that you are not going mad, even if you at times will feel a strong sense of bewilderment and separation in the time ahead. You are in fact just rediscovering your freedom. So take it slow, and remember to check in with your center, and as always, breathe. For your conscious breath is what connects you to this amazing vehicle that you inhabit, and the two of you are not about to lose contact anytime soon, no matter how distant and befuddled you might feel in the time ahead. | <urn:uuid:636e3b4d-450b-4e47-b07b-cc598312b6d2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://goldenageofgaia.com/2013/02/10/aisha-north-the-manuscript-of-survival-part-266/ | 2017-10-21T05:04:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824570.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021043111-20171021063111-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.977678 | 870 |

Local residents are being invited to have their say on Derbyshire Dales District Council's spending plans for 2014/15.
The next round of Area Community Forums will be staged by the District Council in February in Ashbourne, Matlock and Bakewell.
District Council Leader Councillor Lewis Rose OBE said:
"I have gone on record as saying this council is facing the most serious challenge I have experienced in almost 40 years of local government.
"The squeeze of local government finances could seriously impact on the services we offer, with £2.9-million additional savings needed in the next six years. These Forums are therefore a timely opportunity for local people to get a first hand view on the action that needs to be taken and, of course, to air their views."
All start at 7 pm and anyone who can't attend in person can email questions in advance to email@example.com or via the District Council's Facebook and Twitter pages. The 10 February forum will also feature a live Twitter feed.
The Forums provide an opportunity for residents to informally meet representatives of the District Council and other organisations.
North Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group will be presenting on its development plans in the Derbyshire Dales at the 10 & 17 February forums.
A Question Time session will enable audience members to ask questions and make comments and suggestions to the various representatives from participating authorities. | <urn:uuid:b9fb17b4-e935-41f6-aa10-72a3fbdca8aa> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/your-council/news-and-publications/latest-news/1566-your-say-on-our-spending-plans | 2014-04-18T20:42:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609535095.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005215-00368-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957111 | 302 |

Flux Factory seeks ideas for educational programming, and we’d like to hear from you!
Perhaps you’re an organizer with a great idea for a unique series of talks? Maybe you’d love to share the joy of canning pickles with the world? You might be a film editing genius who wants to show others the ins and outs of Pro Tools. We’re seeking proposals to join the ranks of previous Flux Factory educational initiatives.
Over the past year and a half, Flux public programs have included: The Future of Your Neighborhood: Who Decides?, Flux Death Match, Domestic Revolution, Summer School, and Back to School. These are just a few examples of Flux’s themed initiatives that provide discussion-based and/or hands-on learning to our audience.

This series considers how everything we do can be a full expression of our most highly-capable selves, making the world exactly as we would like to see it and making ourselves the super-people to enable it.
Workshops are free of charge, except for material fees, which vary ($5 – $9). Reservations through brown paper tickets is required, as space is limited.

UK Pet Food and our members are active and committed to reducing the negative impacts of pet food packaging.
Packaging is critical to ensuring that pet food is kept safe and fresh. It also provides important factual and legal information about the product inside. However, we know pet owners are concerned about the impact of products on the environment.
On this page you can find out more about what we are doing to reduce the negative impacts of pet food packaging.
Pet food packaging has a variety of formats made from different materials. Manufacturers carefully select the best option in order to ensure freshness, hygiene and safety. Currently, wet food pouch packaging is one of the most difficult challenges from a sustainability perspective.
Pouches are made from thin layers of different materials fused together during a lamination process. Local authorities across the UK currently do not yet have the capacity or capabilities to collect and process laminates.
However, there are initiatives currently underway to achieve a recyclable pouch and to improve the recycling infrastructure throughout the UK.
The UK Plastics Pact
UK Pet Food is proud to be a supporter of the WRAP UK Plastic Pact. The Pact brings together the entire plastics value chain under one holistic approach and one ambitious set of targets. The aim is to eliminate the use of problematic plastics by 2025.
Through our role as a supporting organisation, we will also look to encourage wider member engagement in this important programme. | <urn:uuid:ee1e50ba-7bae-4f1a-a5f8-0923b9fff041> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.ukpetfood.org/our-work/sustainability/packaging-recyclability.html | 2023-03-25T08:32:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945317.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325064253-20230325094253-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.949951 | 294 |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
I have recovered earlier in this chapter when you import footage into Premiere Elements, it's basically only creating a link to the original source files; it's not actually embedding it in the project itself. And as I mentioned also earlier, do not rename, move or delete footage or else Premiere Elements will not be able to find it. What I'm going to show you here is in those instances when you can't find the footage or when Premiere Elements can't find the missing footage. What to do? So I'm going to select File, Open Project, this will open the Chapter 3 folder.
Now I want you to select Missing. Now typically when I'm working in a project in this training series, I'll just let you know which project I'm working on so that way if you want to follow along you can pause the video and open up the project. But thing reason why we're opening this Missing project together, it's because I want you to see what happens when you open up a project that has some missing footage in it. So I'm going to click Open and the first thing that happens is this pop up says "Where the file adobe-pumpkin.jpg?" "I can't find it." It's going to look in the same folder in which it used to be and trying to find out where it is and it can't locate that.
So basically, this is the folder I had this file in originally and then I moved it and so Premiere is asking where is that file at? For now I'm just going to hit Cancel, and let me show you what happens when you hit Cancel. The project will open up and you'll get this media offline image here. And when a clip is offline that means that you are working with a representation of that clip. So as you can see here in the mini Timeline it says adobe-pumpkin.jpg. So we're still working on that file or at least something that represents that file. If you go over to the Project panel you'll see this icon which also represents offline footage.
We can also locate this footage by selecting it here in the Project panel and then going to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and select Locate Media. Form here you can navigate to the file that you're looking for. Now by the way you'll not have this folder and these files on your computers, this is a personal folder of mine. So what you need to do is navigate to where this object is and from there then bring it back in. Let's say, even though this is a JPEG, it is still image file, we could select a movie and replace this piece of footage, this still image, with a movie.
So what I'm going to do now is navigate to the Exercise Files on my Desktop. So I'm going to open up the Media folder from the Exercise Files folders. Open up Images and there is our trusty image, adobe-pumpkin.jpg. Click Select and it will automatically replace all instances both in the Project View, in the Sceneline and in the Monitor with this image and here I'm with this Adobe pumpkin that I card for Halloween. Yes I know it's pathetic and terrible. But anyways that is how to replace missing footage when it's gone offline.
In the next movie we're going to look at how to recover when you make mistakes as you're working on video projects in Premiere Elements.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
The gang first saw the Ghost of Captain Cutler there. It was also home to the area known as the "Graveyard of Ships" (where a unique type of glowing seaweed was found); it got that name because of the numerous ships that had sunk there over the years.
- This is the first time the gang are at the beach, a typical hangout. It's unknown if this is the same beach as the ones they appear at across the rest of the series, perhaps the reason why it's only identified in this episode is due to establishing it by name.
- It's not explicitly confirmed, but this could be retconned to being situated in Coolsville, the town the gang grew up in as kids as depicted in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. Whether or not this is Coolsville Beach itself is unknown. | <urn:uuid:88213977-097b-4876-9113-788267f3d748> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Rocky_Point_Beach | 2020-02-26T05:35:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146186.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20200226023658-20200226053658-00022.warc.gz | en | 0.980055 | 216 |
- Rev. Sarina Odden Meyer
Maundy Thursday: Love One Another
John 13:1-14:3 Mark 14:32-42
Tonight we are continuing our journey with Jesus to the cross. Tonight is Maundy Thursday. Maundy comes from Latin and it refers to the washing of the disciples’ feet. On Maundy Thursday we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus gives them communion at the last supper. In John Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and gives them, what He calls, a new commandment, which is to love one another. There is a lot happening in this passage in the Gospel of John so I’d like to unpack it a bit.
I think that a lot of us feel a bit like Peter when it comes to the washing of the disciples’ feet: we don’t really understand why Jesus did this. Back then, foot washing was used as a way to welcome people’s guests. The host would provide foot washing for guests, but a servant would do the actual washing. Jesus, here, takes on the role of both host and servant. By offering foot washing, Jesus is welcoming the disciples into His “home” with God. We know that this actual place they are in is not Jesus’ physical home. But, by offering the foot washing, Jesus is inviting the disciples into a deeper relationship with Him. There is a theme running through the entire Gospel of John in which Jesus has a close relationship with God the Father, and Jesus has a close relationship with those He calls His own. And because Jesus’ own are close with Him, they are also close with God the Father. There is a deepening of relationship with God through Jesus in this Gospel. Here in the foot-washing, Jesus is welcoming them into this relationship. He is welcoming them into His home with God.
At the same time, Jesus is servant. He is actually doing the washing Himself. He is demonstrating, by taking on the form of a servant, how He wants His followers to treat each other. Jesus wants us to serve one another, to love one another. But not just when things are nice. Verses 2-5 are actually one long sentence in Greek. When we read those verses we see that the foot-washing takes place in the context of betrayal. The very beginning of this long, three-verse thought says that Judas will betray Jesus. And, the word used to describe Jesus taking off his outer robe is the same word used to describe Jesus laying down his life. So, this act of taking on the form of a servant and washing the disciples’ feet is just like Jesus taking on the form of a slave (as the Apostle Paul says in Philippians), and dying on the cross. In addition, later on, Jesus has a conversation with Peter during the foot-washing, and we know that Peter will deny Jesus. By washing His disciples’ feet in in this context, Jesus is demonstrating that he wants us to serve each other always, even when it’s hard. Even in the context of betrayal, abandonment, and death. Jesus’ parting thought as the servant host is to love one another.
He says this is a new commandment, but why is this commandment new? The Torah is all about loving God and neighbour. The new part of Jesus’ commandment to love another is that this love is supposed to come out of our identity in Christ. It is through Jesus’ betrayal, death, and resurrection that we become united to God in Christ. This new identity shapes who we are as individuals and as a community. When we live out this kind of love, we reflect the image of Jesus to the world. One of the things that I think is so beautiful about Jesus’ gift of the foot-washing is that he offers this to all of the disciples who are at the supper, including Judas and Peter. Jesus knows that Peter will deny him; Jesus knows that Judas will betray Him. This is clear from verse 2, as I said, and the betrayal sets the context for the entire foot-washing scene. Yet, Jesus does not withhold the gift of the foot-washing from any of His disciples.
I think this is a good reminder for us, as we strive to live in community together as a church. As we strive to be the Body of Christ here at Briarwood, we will annoy each other. We will exasperate each other. We will offend each other. But, the love commandment that Jesus gives us, demands that we love each other even when things aren’t going well. If Jesus could wash Judas’ feet, then surely we can bear with one another, no matter what happens.
I was reading in the prayer book that I gave to the session and the staff this week, and one of the passages for this week says, “Carlyle Marney, in one of his greatest sermons, says of Judas that the ultimate tragedy of his life, was not his betrayal of Jesus but that he did not hold on until Sunday to see what God would do with his betrayal and despair. What a tragedy that Judas wasn’t at the tomb on Sunday to see that there is forgiveness even for his sin and relief even from his deep despair.” (A Guide to Prayer for All Who Walk with God, Reuben P. Job, Norman Shawchuck, & John S. Mogabgab, 2013.) It is definitely a tragedy that Judas did not hold out for Sunday. Jesus washed his feet. Jesus invited him into that deep fellowship between Himself, his followers, and God the Father. If Jesus could wash Judas’ feet, surely we can serve one another in the same way. We can take on the form of servants and love each other with free gifts of grace.
Recently, one of our session members gave me a free gift of grace like that. We had finished our session meeting, but it had snowed during the meeting. Ken McCormick, cleared my car of snow while I was tidying up and having some last minute conversations. When I came outside, I was so relieved to see that work already done so that I could just hop in my car and head home after that late night meeting. I remember thinking at the time, that this was like washing the disciples feet, it was like taking on the form of a servant and giving a free gift of love.
Our identity in Christ is defined by being people of grace, being people always ready to give free gifts of love, even in the worst kinds of circumstances. We’ve been talking about spiritual disciplines during Lent because they help us to deepen our relationship with God in Christ so that our identity can truly be in Christ. This is especially important today while we as a society are trying to figure out how to manage social media and information privacy and cyber attacks, and at a time in history when identity politics are at the forefront. All of the situations in the news about companies trying to manipulate elections through Facebook; and politicians trying to get us to hate each other; and other things like that are a reminder that there will always be people and things that will try to draw us away from Jesus. From the beginning of time, there has always been something trying to get people to turn away from God. That’s the point of the serpent in Genesis. And we see Satan manipulating Judas in John. There is always a serpent in life. It takes many forms in all times and in all places. But when we continually turn towards God, when we work on deepening our roots in Jesus, our identity in Christ helps us to turn away from the serpent, no matter what form it takes.
We know that we are following God and not the serpent or Satan or any other power when we live out Jesus’ love commandment. Jesus asks us to do for each other, what He did for the disciples. He commands us to live lives of radical love, giving free gifts of love, grace, mercy at all times and in all places. When we live this way people will know that we are Christ followers. Because this is what Jesus has done for us.
Tonight, in response to Jesus’ command to love one another, we will wash each others’ hands. This is intended to be like the ultimate act of love the Jesus shows his disciples. Just as Jesus laid down his life for us, so we can lay down our lives for each other. Let us take a few quiet moments to lay our lives down at the foot of the cross. This prepares us to give free gifts of love according to Jesus’ command, symbolized in the washing of each others’ hands.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as [Jesus] has loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 | <urn:uuid:2c0cce2d-ea67-4ecc-980d-56ca5403d3d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.sarinaoddenmeyer.com/post/2018/10/25/maundy-thursday | 2023-03-26T08:24:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945440.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326075911-20230326105911-00487.warc.gz | en | 0.972168 | 1,872 |

View Islesboro, Maine in a larger map
ISLESBORO, Maine — On the first ferry trip from Lincolnville to Islesboro one recent morning, coffee-drinking construction workers shared space with teenagers hustling to finish their homework as the Margaret Chase Smith chugged across the three sparkling miles of Penobscot Bay.
These first passengers were not camera-toting tourists nor idle day-trippers but instead were drawn to the island for reasons such as work and school. In fact, the 21 students aboard the boat are affectionately called “magnets” because they are mainlanders who have been attracted to the smaller class sizes and the close-knit community of Islesboro Central School.
“I have more academic opportunities here,” said Madison Cook, 14, of Belfast. “It’s good, because when you don’t understand things you have more time to talk to the teacher.”
It’s her fourth year of life as a magnet. As a freshman in the “biggest grade ever,” a class of 12 students, she’s already taking pre-calculus — a good fit for a girl who dreams of being an architect one day.
After the boat docked, Madison joined the cluster of teachers and students who walked up to the school bus. As they traveled through the wooded island to the school, she reflected on the nonacademic qualities that make the long daily commute worthwhile to her. Islanders have made her feel welcome, and she has a host family to stay with if the weather is bad and the trip home impossible.
“I like the island. Everybody knows each other,” she said. “And there’s so few kids you sort of have to be friends with everyone.”
‘It’s really important’
The Islesboro Central School is located in a stone building that once was the summer “cottage” of Mrs. J.T. Atterbury, a New Yorker who built it in 1928 and is believed by many to still linger in the area as a friendly spirit. Despite an $8 million addition and renovation project that was completed in July 2010, the building still has a gracious atmosphere that has more to do with mansions than institutions, even though Mrs. Atterbury’s ballroom has been carved into several classrooms.
The unique magnet program has helped to keep the school viable over the last 14 years, said Principal Heather Knight.
“When people hear magnet, they think ‘charter,’ or something of that nature,” she said. “But the magnet term was to attract kids from the mainland to add diversity to our school.”
Islesboro has a year-round population of about 650 people, although that number swells considerably in the summertime. It’s one of the state’s 15 year-round island communities, and having a flourishing school is crucial to that fact, according to Alex Hodges, a fellow at the Island Institute. The nonprofit organization works to keep those communities “healthy and sustainable,” she said.
Hodges, who works at the Islesboro Central School, said that when schools on islands close, young families leave.
“You can’t support a year-round community without a school,” she said. “The magnet school on Islesboro helps. It helps to keep the school running. It fosters the year-round community. It’s really important.”
The number of mainland students in the magnet program has grown in recent years. Knight said that when she first came to the island, there were just eight magnets. Now, with 21 students ranging from fifth graders to high school seniors, the unique program makes up more than a fifth of the 91-person student body.
Although the island school does not offer charter-school-type specialization, it does boast a 100 percent graduation rate over the past six years and also has a strong ability to individualize education by tailoring academics to a student’s particular needs and strengths.
In some ways, the magnet program bridges the gap between a large public school and a pricey private education, Knight said. Mainland students must pay tuition that’s set at $4,100 per year for middle school magnets and $5,200 per year for high school students.
She has found that the program appeals to families that have had experience with home schooling and alternative private education models such as Montessori and Waldorf schools.
“Parents feel that to get [their children] prepared for the next level, they have to add a more traditional element,” Knight said.
Not every student is a good fit for the school, she said, adding that all who wish to become magnets must go through an application process. All classes are capped at 12 students, ensuring a low teacher-student ratio.
“‘Fit’ is a nice term,” she said. “Academically, can we provide what the student needs? And do they have something to offer?”
A good fit
The school is working well for sophomore Cameron Jack of Belfast, who previously had attended a tiny private high school in the area before becoming an island magnet last year. Now, he plays on the soccer and basketball teams but still enjoys the small-school feel of Islesboro.
“It fits me better,” he said.
Eric Armbrust, 16, of Northport formerly attended Pen Bay Christian School in Rockland, but because it didn’t have a high school, he and his family had to figure out something else. They lacked the money for a $50,000-per-year boarding school, he said, but the family went to a seminar on the magnet program and liked what they learned.
“It seemed really appealing,” he said. “People here seemed nice and friendly.”
Now, after three years, he’s a part of the community of the school and island, with three different host families that can take him in if the weather is too inclement for the ferry or if something is happening at the school at night.
“You make a lot of friends,” Eric said.
He, like others, said that one slightly negative aspect of attending an island school can be the way that students must plan their lives around the ferry schedule.
“It’s just coming to grips with not being able to do what you want, when you want,” he said.
Islanders appreciate the magnet program, too. Sisters Stephanie and Emily Bethune said that before the mainland students joined the program in the fifth grade, their classes were small and quiet. When Stephanie, 16, started kindergarten, there were just three children in her class.
“Now, we have 11,” she said.
“It expands our school,” Emily, 13, said.
During seventh and eighth grade math class on this particular afternoon, the island and magnet students blended seamlessly into one high-energy mix. They settled down to take a quiz, ignoring the dazzling ocean and mountain views framed in the windows behind them.
“Our original intent was to invigorate our school community,” longtime math teacher Tom Tudor said of the magnet program. “It works very well.”
Island students can benefit from the increased competition and the diverse experiences of the mainland magnets. They also like the expanded dating pool, one young man pointed out to teacher Katie Nelson.
“It provides the island students peers,” she said.
While even such a small school can’t entirely escape the perils of adolescence, it helps, said science teacher Heather Sinclair.
“Yeah, there’s the cliques and the gossip and the drama of middle school and high school,” she said. “But it forces this appreciation of everybody’s individuality. You’ve got to learn to get along with everybody and their quirks.”

Warlock Feminised Seeds Info
Although indica dominant, this plant really combines some of the best Indica and Sativa characteristics. Short and bushy during veg. but grows huge compact buds with few leaves in flowering. Few medium sized leaves with a massive amount of flowers make it easy to manicure. The clear white pistils change to a tan/pinkish colour when ripe. Strong sweet smell with a tinge of sour, reminds of fresh fruits. The effect is a strong high, more felt in the head than in the body. | <urn:uuid:c0c9f21f-3d0c-4c10-af0d-a023cebf577c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://herbiesheadshop.com/cannabis-seeds/warlock | 2020-08-05T11:12:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735939.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20200805094821-20200805124821-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.961362 | 393 |

Dis-integrating videojournalism and multimedia
Viewmagazine.tv is a resource, a sand box, as well as my mnemonic - where I brain dump
And now it's getting a bit unwieldly, so hopefully to simplify things I'm dis-intiing the site into presentations and "how tos?" against vj - multimedia features.
There's going to be some overlap, a lot at first and I'll have to change the nav system so it lands were it ought to.
These are some snap shots of the viewmagazine.tv

Last week the Intelligent Transportation Society of America hosted a symposium at the University of Washington on the future of transportation and “shared use mobility” services like bike share and Uber. Leaders in the local transportation industry, on both the public and private side, debated how these new modes reflect demographic changes and how they will impact transportation modeling, planning, and funding. They also discussed the ramifications of emerging technology like autonomous vehicles and networked vehicles.
ITS America is an organization of public agencies, private companies, and research institutions dedicated to advancing transportation technology. Each year they host several two-day symposiums in major cities to bring together top experts and spread the latest knowledge. I was invited to the Seattle event, which was hosted here because the city is showcases the theme shared use mobility and the exploding variety of transportation options.
Seattle Department of Transportation (DOT) Director Scott Kubly gave the opening keynote. He noted that new programs and services are helping to keep single-occupant-vehicle (SOV) use stable in downtown, despite an increase in 40,000 downtown employees over the past four years. More broadly, he spoke to the changing needs of cities and their citizens across the U.S.: people want choices and flexibility; there are massive environmental and public health concerns that can be addressed through transportation; transportation affordability is at the forefront of social equity; and demographic shifts are seeing younger people drive less and more elderly people in the population than ever before.
Kubly imagines that at some point, if not already, some teens may prefer to get an Uber or Lyft account rather than a driver license. Many young people already prefer to own a smartphone over owning a car. He theorized about a “transportation bundle” of services urban dwellers could purchase, similar to buying cable/phone/Internet service, instead of relying on a myriad of payment systems. Using this as an example of a massive potential shift in transportation, he said that DOTs need to become system integrators. Kubly said their mission will evolve to become more about how people are being served than who is serving them.
One way that both public and private sectors could benefit, for instance, is transit agencies partnering with rideshare services to fill in service gaps late at night when its inefficient to run buses. Later in the day, a representative from Lyft said that 20 percent of their trips in the Bay Area start or end at BART and Caltrain rail stations.
Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary (WSDOT) Lynn Peterson gave a brief presentation on shifting engineering doctrines and revenue sources. She said transportation engineers have long tried to simply push more “water through the pipe”, but today they now consider livability issues, the movement of people and goods rather than just vehicles, and the provision of choices. Peterson also touched on transportation funding and declining gas tax revenue due to more fuel-efficient vehicles. She said many of these topics will be discussed at a WSDOT conference in September.
Benefits and challenges
The first panel included representatives from Sound Transit, car2go, Zipcar, and Pronto bike share sharing their thoughts on the benefits and barriers of shared use mobility. They said that on the national shared use services barely makes a blip on the transportation pie, though in tech-savvy San Francisco they account for 21 percent of trips. The panelists said the various modes have the greatest potential for non-work trips, which make up over 80 percent of Americans’ travel. They also called for a universal payment system.
There were questions on how car and bike sharing will interact with transit, the original shared use mode, but there is clearly great potential to expand. Kaleb Miller, Zipcar’s general manager in Seattle, said 25 percent of Zipcar customers sell a car after joining the service. And in an acknowledgement of induced demand, the panelists said that engineers cannot build out of congestion but that there is a potential to build into shared use mobility. Transit centers and apartment buildings can come with parking spaces for Zipcars, bike share stations, and pick-up/drop-off areas for rideshare drivers.
I asked the panelists about something referred to by Kubly and the Zipcar ownership statistic: is there an opportunity to discourage young people (16-24 year olds) from buying cars in the first place? And if so, could shared use mobility be expanded to car-dependent suburbs and small towns to decrease solo driving? The panelists answered that shared use services make more economic sense in dense places. But, there is low density potential with services like Getaround and RelayRides, in which people rent out their personal cars like they would use AirBnB to rent a bedroom. Miller of Zipcar noted that the company heavily targets the Millennial demographic and operates on many college campuses, where many young people form their lifestyles and transportation habits.
Later in the day panelists acknowledged that academic study is needed to determined whether carshare and rideshare actually have environmental benefits through reduced driving and reduced emissions.
Data and infrastructure
Other panels dived into how shared data and infrastructural changes can shape the landscape of mobility. One panelist noted that smartphones are excellent information-deliverers, but they can also be information-gatherers. Cell phone companies already know where customers’ phones are in relation to cell towers so they can charge the right rates. Google Maps’ traffic layer is created by thousands of drivers with smartphones, and Waze relies on crowdsouring for traffic conditions and incident reporting. The panelists suggested that public agencies be less restrictive and be more proactive by using a richer set of data tools. They applauded Puget Sound agencies for openly sharing data already, enabling apps like OneBusAway.
The impact of autonomous vehicles is uncertain. The panelists pondered whether they will individually owned or if they will centralized and rentable on a per-mile basis. But they agreed they are coming and will have massive impacts on society and the national economy. In particular, millions of truck drivers, bus drivers, cab drivers, and others who drive for a living are at risk for losing their jobs in the coming decades.
Panelists considered a number of other technology improvements. High occupancy toll (HOT) lanes have been recently introduced to freeways, allowing SOV drivers to pay to enter lanes that are otherwise reserved for carpools and buses. Sensor and camera systems can detect bicyclists at intersections. Battery powered buses and fleet vehicles, such as for universities, are starting to come online but need more industry standards. One panelist said that his company’s parking payment system will soon be integrated into the navigation system of new vehicles. Connected vehicle (CV) technology will vehicles to talk to each other, to roadside infrastructure, and to a cellular network to potentially improve safety and efficiency.
One panelist said “we don’t have a capacity problem, we have an empty seat problem”. Traditional carpooling is hard to manage because of varying work schedules and the distance between co-workers’ homes. Split in Washington, D.C. is hoping to bridge the gap between carpooling, taxis, and ridesharing by offering a flexible and demand-responsive service that picks up and drops off several passengers during an individual trip using a routing algorithm.
Economics and finance
Payment has become a strong organizational and traffic management tool. Tolls, transit fares, and smartphone apps give users different choices and help agencies and companies manage demand by adjusting prices in real time. Throughout the symposium many panelists brought up the idea that people should be able to use their credit card, or a single transportation card, to pay for everything from transit fares, bike share, car share, and train tickets in either single metropolitan regions or the entire country.
In an interesting move for an engineering symposium, at one point the discussion turned to social justice. A representative from WSDOT said that one-third of Washingtonians have “special transportation needs”, which includes elderly people, children, people with disabilities, and low-income people. He said that long commute times are correlated with a lack of upward mobility for the 14 percent of Washingtonians who live in poverty. He also said many people who fall in these categories don’t have credit cards or even a bank account, limiting their ability to even purchase transportation, much less secure a well paying job or enroll in higher education.
Access for people with disabilities is a major issue, especially for wheelchair users. Ridesharing services are limited in this regard because they depend on their drivers’ personal cars, which aren’t likely to be wheelchair-accessible vans. The companies could potentially integrate with paratransit services for non-wheelchair users to ease demand on public transit.
Congressmembers Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Rick Larsen (WA-02) were keynotes on the second day and spoke on a number of technological and funding issues at the national level. From the audience, the head of the Federal Transit Administration’s IT division asked if the federal government could work on requiring regional transportation agencies (such as the Puget Sound Regional Council) to update their plans in synchronization with technology upgrades. Transportation technology is evolving so quickly, he said, that plans written only a few years ago are outdated and don’t reflect the new capacity and efficiency that traffic tools are enabling on roads and on transit.
Nationally the Highway Trust Fund, which funds all kinds of transportation projects, is running out of money due to high-efficiency vehicles and Congress’ inability to either raise the federal tax or find stable alternate funding. One method that Oregon is testing starting this month is is a road usage fee based on distance traveled. When asked what the opposition to that is, Representative Larsen said equity, privacy, and security are all concerns. I discussed how those issues can be overcome, and which ones Oregon is testing, in an earlier post.
The symposium brought to light many of the challenges that transportation planners and engineers are facing now and in the near future. The recent variety of non-traditional transportation modes and ability to respond to real-time demand must be factored into transportation planning. New technologies are enabling users to have greater flexibility in how they get around and how to pay for transportation as a service, and autonomous cars are on the horizon in one form or another. City planners should pay close attention as transportation experiences another evolution in how people get around urban places. | <urn:uuid:96cb6a44-206f-432b-84df-2d3ac6e0b034> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://thenorthwesturbanist.com/2015/07/20/the-future-of-shared-use-mobility/ | 2019-05-20T05:16:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232255562.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520041753-20190520063753-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.960485 | 2,153 |

A Serious Relationship…Are You Ready?
Unfortunately, knowing for certain when you are ready for a serious relationship, isn't one of the simpler things in life. There'll come a time when we "think" we're ready. But then, after we've leaped in, we feel like we're drowning, and we start struggling and kicking to get out of the water. This causes sadness, and often anger, to the person we are with. It's usually not something we're proud of doing to another person, or ourselves. So, here're a few dating and relationship tips to consider before you jump off the cliff…and then realize you have no idea how deep the water is.
The very talented and extremely funny comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, used to say, "You know you're a redneck if…". Well, you know you're ready for a serious relationship if:
You start to be bored when going out with others who are not contenders for a long-lasting future, even if they are handsome or beautiful, smart, entertaining and/or recent lottery winners. Read More
Top 10 Dating Tips
1. Date Night Plan
Waiting until the last minute may make things spontaneous - or disastrous. Plan your date in advance, set expectations and ensure your date is in agreement. Know how to get there, where to park, when things are open, etc. Look like you know how to make things happen seamlessly.
2. Appropriateness Date Location
Make sure what you've picked out and/or suggested has some relevance to what this person might actually enjoy. Doing something you both enjoy will go a long way towards relationship building.
If your date happens on a weeknight, don't select a movie ending at 11.00 p.m. The more solutions you've prepared for in advance, the less anxious your date will be. This clearly shows your thoughtfulness.
Sure, she or he really looks great and you're more impressed as the evening goes along. However, don't push physical attraction too soon. You could be making a serious mistake if you attempt to manhandle her or him.
5. Listen to Your Date
Listening is very important at any stage of dating or a relationship. Show her or him you know them better at the end of the date, than you did at the beginning.
6. Stay Light
Do something positive you both can share in, without it being embarrassing. Select something appealing to your date; i.e., go to a water park if she or he likes water, or an outdoor rock concert if they like the performers. Perhaps, see a romantic comedy or take a hike. Whatever you're doing, don't sit and talk about your exes, troubled kids, etc. These are conversation topics which will come later if the relationship progresses.
Make a real effort to find commonalities. Listen and learn a little about each other's childhood and past. See if your values and life's outlook are similar. This is an excellent exploration period.
As always, you should look your best. A light kiss at the end of the night that promises more…someday...is sexier than a lip scrunching passionate kiss that surprises your date and possibly puts him or her off.
Laughter is bonding, infectious and attractive. If you're going to the movies, ensure the film's funny; if going to a comedy club, know the comedians are funny; or go roller skating and laugh at yourselves. Laughter is a great release for any nervousness.
10. Show Appreciation
Acknowledge someone's kindness, thoughtfulness or generosity. Don't assume anything and don't come off as being spoiled. Verbally let them know their hard work, planning or good humor didn't go unnoticed. And, make yourself an irresistible choice for future dates. | <urn:uuid:c8f56562-6984-4b3e-92a0-890d15e606ce> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.perfectmatch.com/Dating/California/Poppet-Flats/Poppet-Flats-Date-Ideas.html | 2014-03-10T03:43:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394010567051/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305090927-00003-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937503 | 1,271 |
With rumors that Donald Trump could announce his running mate as early as next week, five anonymous sources "with knowledge of the process" tell the Washington Post that Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie are the leading contenders. They've reportedly been asked to answer more than 100 questions and submit tax records, articles they've written, and other personal files. They're being vetted by the same lawyer who vetted Sarah Palin in 2008. The Huffington Post notes Christie is already leading Trump's transition team and may also be working behind the scenes to drum up donations from GOP insiders hesitant to back Trump.
While both Christie and Gingrich have been relatively long-term Trump supporters, there are issues with both of them as running mates, the Guardian reports. Gingrich could clash with Trump's "outsider message," while Christie's time as governor of New Jersey has been beset with controversies. Other possible running mates being discussed by the Trump campaign include Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin. The campaign is reportedly looking for someone with a lot of political experience or who has a good relationship with the GOP establishment. They also need someone who can talk with Trump and "defend his nontraditional platform." | <urn:uuid:7ffd5009-b0e5-42be-96f8-0200e30ed0a0> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.newser.com/story/227467/sources-gingrich-christie-top-trumps-list-of-potential-vps.html | 2017-02-23T23:13:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171251.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00132-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96777 | 285 |

After losing again over the weekend, the questions surrounding the Miami Heat ahead of the playoffs are growing as the team tries to stop a streak of seven losses in the last 11 games.
Finding a weakness in the Miami Heat has perplexed opponents for the last two years, but the Indiana Pacers may have solved the problem by driving a 7’2”, 260 pound hole through the middle of the Heat’s defense.
Just hours after Miami Heat superstar LeBron James said the team’s defense was playing like *expletive*; the Heat put together a solid all-around performance Tuesday night to blow out the Milwaukee Bucks, 118-95.
The San Antonio Spurs came into Game 2 looking to take a commanding lead over the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals. By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Spurs bore witness to the power of the fully operational battle station that is the Heat.
The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs don’t look like almost exact copies of each other, but statistically speaking there’s almost no better matchup of teams than the two squads headed for the NBA Finals.
LeBron James has spent his entire life being called the best in the game and Monday night, he almost added another feather to his cap. James scored 31 points on 13-of-14 shooting to lead Miami past Charlotte 99-94 Monday night, giving the Heat their 10th consecutive victory against the Bobcats.
The Miami Heat have spent most of the regular season on cruise control, taking a long view of being ready for the playoffs. The Heat has struggled in areas, but the team’s defense seems to be rediscovering it’s 2012 self in recent days.
Brooklyn Nets forward Reggie Evans said the Heat’s 2012 title should come with an asterisk because of the shortened season. Thursday night, the Heat showed Evans what a real champion looked like with a 105-85 blowout of Evans’ Nets team.
The Miami Heat had been undefeated at home heading into Thursday night’s game against the New York Knicks. The Heat had won a few close games and New York was without Carmelo Anthony, so it looked like another Heat win was very possible.
The Miami Heat have seen this act before and they are hoping for a much different outcome for the 2012 NBA Finals than what happened in the 2011 NBA Finals. | <urn:uuid:efb39669-e0ec-4c77-bd8e-9e0bd08fce02> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://miami.cbslocal.com/tag/heat-defense/ | 2015-05-28T02:18:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929205.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00263-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9626 | 489 |
Motherhood hasn’t brought expected joy
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: My husband and I always wanted children, and six months ago we were blessed with a wonderful, healthy baby girl. I love her to pieces, but whenever someone asks how I am “enjoying” motherhood, I guess the answer is ... not all that much.
My husband and I had such a great life before this, and now I feel sucked into this vortex of constant, constant care that is mentally and physically draining. Yes, there are moments of joy, but most of the time is just a grind, mixed in with intense bouts of worry.
I do stay home with her full-time and work from home part-time, but my husband is extremely hands-on, and we have family nearby who will happily give us the occasional break. I know how incredibly lucky I am, especially to have a healthy child, but I sometimes fantasize about an alternative life of just my husband and me, traveling, going out to dinner, enjoying life as a couple for the rest of our lives.
I guess I’m just surprised that actually having a kid isn’t what I expected. Does this change as they get older? What is wrong with me that I don’t seem to be enjoying this?
Dear Blindsided: Your feelings are totally normal, and I’m sorry you haven’t found someone you can confide in about the numbing grind of baby care. It’s hard.
Harder for some than others, and some babies are harder than others, but there’s little that’s easy about having someone depend on you constantly and completely.
So that’s the first thing I’d suggest – finding a sympathetic ear anywhere from old friends to a group for new moms, by putting out feelers to see whether you can safely talk about this.
You do have to be careful, because your very real feelings have the very real potential to upset, even offend someone who has infertility problems unknown to you, or who lost a baby.
As for your questions:
• Change is guaranteed – and yes, generally for the better.
• What is wrong with you? Nothing, most likely.
You can’t know for sure till you get there, but you may be among those who vastly prefer older kids to babies.
So hang in there.
Travel and dinners aren’t dead, they’re just on hiatus. ■

Here’s the trouble with communal tables in cafés – they are positively perilous for those who are susceptible to food envy. In Bread 41, food envy may as well be on the menu, or at least disclaimed in the fine print. If you love bread – and we’re talking real bread here – clear your diary and plan in some trips to Dublin’s newest bakery and café. You’re going to need multiple trips to get through everything on the menu.
Bread 41 opened in early September on a corner of Pearse Street just across the road from The Science Gallery. It’s the café and front-facing sister of Bread Nation, the organic bakery owned by head baker and real bread advocate Eoin Cluskey. After training in Ballymaloe Cookery School, he worked alongside Patrick Ryan at Firehouse Bakery in Delgany working as head baker there before launching Bread Nation in May 2018. Cluskey has been baking with his team on this site since then, supplying loaves to 3fe, Fia Cafe, Two Pups Coffee Ltd and lots more around the city, and Bread 41 is Cluskey’s opportunity to bring his bread directly to the people.
The interior is industrial minimalism and an extensive counter draws you in as you walk through the door, but it’s the goods on the counter that make you want to stay. Granary browns mingle with polenta and thyme loaves, while wholegrain sourdough and Wicklow mountain rye loaves lie in wait for their lucky owners. Buy a loaf to take home for toasting and butter bathing. Croissants (€2.20) are delectably rolled and lined up in a pleasingly symmetrical row. Cinnamon rolls (€2.75), cruffins (€3.20), cream puffs (€2.25) and homemade sausage rolls (€4.95) all call from this shameless display of good taste and great baking. Those pastries come fresh out of the oven at 7am, 11am and 1pm every day.
Cluskey has been working closely with Head Chef Chris McCann – formerly of Two Pups Café – to perfect the menu and to pair the right bread with the right sandwich. There are daily meat (€6.75) and vegetable sandwiches (€6.45), the fillings and bread of which will change regularly. The black pudding dish is on the fermented potato bread which is a speciality of Cluskey’s and it’s served with their own black pudding and date brown sauce (€8.50). It’s this dish that’s likely to cause some considerable damage in the food envy stakes.
The thing I’m the most happiest about,” says Cluskey, “is that we’re selling a lot of bread. We’re selling lots of coffee, pastries and dishes, too, and we really didn’t expect to be as busy as we have been. But for me, having a couple come all the way from Wexford to get more of our bread after their daughter brought some home for them last week, which is what happened the other day, is what makes me really happy. We’re also trying to hit the right price point and make bread affordable for everyone whatever walk of life they’re coming from. We want you to buy real bread – don’t be buying that supermarket stuff.”
Cluskey uses organic flour, sourced in Ireland and the UK, for his slow fermented breads. They’ve installed a mill in the bakery and are hoping to begin milling organic flour on site soon. The quantities needed to keep up with the demand of their bakery means they wouldn’t be able to exclusively use flour milled at Bread Nation; the idea is to create a bread of the month using organic flour from their suppliers in Kildare and Monaghan milled on site.
Sure, there are some minor hiccups with service – a forgotten coffee, the writing on the menu behind the counter being a little hard to read – but it’s week two of a new business when I visit; these little kinks will be smoothed out once the team have had a chance to catch their breath. This is real bread, done really well, and that is worth shouting about.

While at the track on Friday, Paul took the opportunity to speak to a number of members of the IZOD IndyCar Series community. The hot-button topic of the day, of course, is the reported dissent of the team owners regarding the decisions made so far on the 2012 car, but Paul had conversations on a variety of other subjects as well.
First, Paul talked with the venerable Mario Andretti. Mario spoke about how he interacts with Michael and Marco on race weekends, whether he feels that the skill set found in today’s field has changed since his driving days, and his thoughts on the owner/Series 2012 car issue.
Next up was Keith Wiggins, owner of HVM Racing. With track activity roaring in the background (our apologies), Keith shared his view on the “near-unanimous concern” of the owners and how he feels the Series needs to better facilitate communication between its administration and the teams.
Paul followed that up with a brief chat with Bobby Rahal, who didn’t have much in the way of thoughts to share on the new car issues but did offer the prospects of a full-time return to the Series for both himself as an owner and Graham as a driver.
The last team owner who Paul spoke with today was Dale Coyne. Dale was refreshingly frank in his thoughts on the owner/Series communication issues and the challenges facing the owners with the new chassis roll-out. He offered insight in the form of comparisons between the release of the DP-01 chassis in Champ Car and the methods being used today. He also backed Tony Cotman in his role in the project.
We’re grateful that Simona de Silvestro found a few moments to share with Paul this afternoon. She talked about how her learning curve on ovals is coming along, the bumps that the drivers are contending with at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, and how she feels her car will perform under race conditions tomorrow evening.
Paul’s last interview of the day was with Al Speyer, Executive Director of Firestone Racing. Al gave more details on the excellent tire package that Firestone provided for the weekend at Infineon Raceway and offered more general views on the primary and alternate tire system from Firestone’s perspective. He also spoke about the meaning of the terms “construction” and “compound” as they relate to racing tires, gave an overview of the tire specification plans for the remaining races of the season, and wrapped up today’s segment with a discussion of Firestone’s temperature tolerance expectations for its racing products.
