Blue Sphere, a waste-to-energy company based in Even Yehuda, Israel, said in a news release the closing of the joint venture gives the company a 25-percent ownership of the project. Blue Sphere received an initial payment of $1.25 million in cash with a second payment coming this year of $1.175 million following project milestones.
The venture will develop, construct and operate the 5.2-megawatt biogas generation facility, which will convert food waste to energy. Blue Sphere expects the operation to begin production in fourth quarter of this year.
Blue Sphere has been working on the project since 2012. | <urn:uuid:a7faba34-dee3-44bc-84c6-2ba9e2f3c3c3> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.waste360.com/business/blue-sphere-forms-venture-north-carolina-waste-energy-unit | 2018-05-26T19:40:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867859.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526190648-20180526210648-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.952561 | 131 |
Have you heard about Lucy? The intensively-farmed sow with the intelligence of a three year old who, in a series of Australian radio ads, tells of a life so miserable that she wishes she could “close [her] eyes and not wake up.”
Many would see the Lucy ads as a call for more Australians to become vegetarian or vegan. This would not be a bad thing. Vegetarians walk the walk. Whether frowning at menus short of meat-free options or unapologetically arriving at cocktail parties in tennis shoes, they put their morals where there mouths are and by so doing implicitly challenge the rest of us to do the same. “I care about the suffering of animals, and so I don’t eat meat or wear leather,” the vegetarian wordlessly proclaims. “What about you?”
Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the meat-eating divide. A vegetarian during my late teens and twenties on ethical grounds, I began eating meat again when, pregnant for the first time, my dreams became crowded with steak and hamburgers and my midwife diagnosed me with low levels of iron. Another pregnancy and more than a decade later, I have never looked back.
But while I continue to eat and enjoy meat, I rarely feel guilty. This is because, for the most part, I am an ethical carnivore.
Most people don’t know it, but the central claim in Professor Peter Singer’s revolutionary book Animal Liberation is that because animals suffer, they are owed moral consideration. The sort of moral consideration that requires we humans to eliminate any unnecessary suffering, and reduce as much as possible the suffering justified by the greater good: like that caused by scientific experiments which will yield important results that can not be obtained in any other way.
This means that while vegetarianism is a good way of meeting our moral obligations to animals, it is not the only one. Another is to commit ourselves to only consuming animal products that have been farmed in ethical ways: in way that mean that the animal does not suffer during its life or, as far as is possible, in the slaughtering process.
Does this mean ethical carnivores eat less meat? Almost certainly yes, as most restaurants serve factory-farmed products, so most meat-eating must be done at home. But it also means that when we take the time and pay the cash for free-range pork, chicken and eggs, we can consume it guilt-free.
The Lucy ad is the latest in a long-line of attempts by animal liberationists to inform us of the intense, unnecessary and unjustified suffering of intensively farmed animals. Animals that may spend their entire lives in darkness and in cramped boxes that deny them the freedom to stretch, turn, or even stand, little less perform any of their normal behavioral repertoire like scratching or nursing young. Animals whose suffering should and does move us.
Ethical carnivores accept that the indifference of western consumers to the suffering of animals is a consequence of our removal from the gruesome and inhumane conditions in which most live and die. We accept that it is our obligation to look at the reality of the lives of the animals whose flesh and products we consume, and accept responsibility for it.
But we believe that turning vegetarian or vegan is not the only way to do this. Another is to make sure that the life of the animal we consume have been managed with care.

Ah yes, I remember it well.
The old musical Gigi features a song about an old couple remembering how they met. The husband’s memory is somewhat at odds with that of his wife (of course!), and yet, he insists that he “remembers it well.” (If you have a moment, take a listen. It is a sweet little song.)
Now that many companies are bringing back workers, lots of memories are flooding back. People remember the commuting time, the wasteful meetings, and the other unfortunate attributes of corporate life.
What they may not remember are the good things: the energy, discipline, camaraderie, and friendships that only come from being together.
They may not remember that the positive feelings like togetherness, common purpose, mutual support, and optimism are contagious and can only come from interactions with others.
As a leader, it is your responsibility to help your team to remember the good. Create good opportunities for interaction and point out these benefits.
People cannot unsee the benefits of remote and hybrid work. But they may have forgotten the very positive and beneficial aspects that Zoom and Teams cannot replicate.
In my professional life I can remember great friends that I have made. I remember the interesting suppliers and customers. I remember seeing the world differently after leadership retreats or attending trade shows with the team. I remember the satisfaction of working with a team to land some really big accounts. I remember the great experiences from being able to travel to places I may never have had the opportunity to get to. (For example, this country boy who went to college down the road from Dresden, Tennessee would never have dreamed he would be sent to Dresden, Germany on business.)
People can easily forget the benefits of being together. Start reminding them by being a leader who creates great experiences and is a positive person to be around. You will be remembered well. | <urn:uuid:3033c837-cc71-453a-ab31-5a4aa8e26223> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://garycovertconsulting.com/blog/remembering-the-benefits-of-being-in-person/ | 2024-02-24T02:52:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474482.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20240224012912-20240224042912-00814.warc.gz | en | 0.966914 | 388 |

Unfortunately Race to Tomorrowland is not available on your device. Please try one of the related games instead or visit our HTML5 category.
Discover an adventurous place where everything is possible and where your actions have consequences in the real world. Explore the Race to Tomorrowland game and help Casey reach the farthest point of the city. Special pins allow you to travel to this futuristic universe, so make sure you collect as many as possible!
The game is based on the famous Disney movie, entitled Tomorrowland. If you are not familiar with it, you can at least check out the trailer in the provided link. Casey Newton has important business to finish in the city, so your task is to take her as far as possible.
Throughout her journey, the teen will have to bypass various obstacles, such as fallen trees, bushes, and rocks. To avoid them, use the Left and Right arrow keys, or the Up and Down to jump and slide. Once you hit any of these in Tomorrowland, you go back to the real world. But if you do so in this universe, you lose the game.
There are various collectibles you can collect: glowing atoms, a silver-and-blue T pin, and an orange-and-blue-tinted pin. They are listed in the order of their importance: the first ones are points, with the blue ones having 10 points, and the purple ones, 20. The second type makes you indestructible for a short amount of time, and the last one teleports you in the fantasy universe.
At the bottom of the screen, you will see a bar, which shows your progress. You only advance when you are in Tomorrowland, where a pin limits your time. This pin has a 13 seconds timer, which takes you back to reality when it runs out.
Although her primary ability in the game is running, you can help her by using a jetpack. This item is only available for the alternate dimension and regenerates when you are not using it. It can be unlocked and upgraded with points. The pins can also last for longer if you invest your results in them.
The game consists of three levels: Wheat Field, Lower Tomorrowland, and Upper Tomorrowland. They have to be completed in order, as only Wheat Field is unlocked at first.
Each stage has three goals- to complete the level, avoid all the obstacles, and earn a certain number of points. The endless mode has no final destination, thus pushing you to run as much as you can.
By completing each goal, you can unravel additional information, such as bios, videos, images, and artwork! Even though seeing them (or not) does not affect your gameplay, you will be pleased to see all the fantastic provided footage.
Become a hero and help Casey catch the train at the farthest point of Tomorrowland!

so we talk about Dogecoin Su Etoro in this article…
In 2021, it had valued its value at more than $800 million. The company is noted on the Boston Stock Exchange and is one of the biggest futures and options trading business in the world.
Cryptocurrencies have been making buzz recently due to their predicted rise in value over the coming years. Many people have actually been buying them due to their guarantee of significant earnings. However, for those who are new to trading these cryptosystems, it can be quite hard to figure out the correct time to sell or buy. This is where etoro enters into play. Their order matching system will enable traders to get in a particular currency pairing and instantly make the corresponding sell or buy order without requiring any previous understanding of which currency pairs to trade.
They can start with the order placement feature when traders get access to etoro. This is where they will have the ability to enter an order in the market and have it matched with a readily available currency pair. By utilizing this function, they will be able to optimize their profits and minimize risk by diversifying their financial investment in between many currencies.
Another feature of etoro is the live trading platform. This is where they can connect with other traders using the same platform. This permits them to gain from the strategies of others and to apply them in their own trading portfolio. They can even utilize the live chat feature to provide suggestions to fellow traders and share pointers on how to make their financial investments work.
The third significant benefit of using the platform of etoro for their investors is that it provides access to all kinds of information about their picked cryptosystems. This includes not simply market information about the currencies being traded, however likewise information on trends in the market. They can also see what their competitors are performing in regard to their financial investments and make some great decisions themselves.

The fourth benefit is that etoro offers a low commission for all of its trading sets. Traders who have an account at etoro will be paid through a cut-throat pay plan. If you have an account at other brokers, it would do you well to change to etoro and advantage from all of its great functions at a really low expense.
There are other trading platforms out there, none has the staying power of eToro. It lets traders trade in three significant trading currencies, as well as ether (the most well-known type of currency today), and four major products.
Its trading platform does not have the customization that some traders desire. These issues are minor compared to the great functions etoro offers, so even if it does have some downsides, it still has terrific benefits.

The HI9813-5 portable meter features a large LCD which displays either pH, EC, TDS or temperature readings along with tutorial instructions. The pH readings are displayed with a 0.1 resolution and an accuracy of +/-0.1 pH while the EC and TDS readings are displayed with a 0.01 mS/cm and 1 ppm (mg/L) resolution and 2% full-scale accuracy. The EC range of the HI9813-5 is from 0.00 to 4.00 mS/cm and TDS is from 0 to 1999 ppm. The temperature correction coefficient (β) is fixed at 2 %/oC and allows for automatic temperature compensated measurements of EC and TDS.
The HI9813-5 is a basic pH/EC/TDS meter that is calibrated manually to a single point with the use of two trimmers. pH is calibrated to pH 7.01 while EC/TDS is calibrated to either 1.41 mS/cm (1413 µS/cm) or 1500 ppm. The LCD screen has a battery life indicator as well as on-screen tutorial messages. The supplied HI1285-5 probe is a polypropylene body, amplified pH electrode with a built-in EC/TDS and temperature sensors. The amplifier for the pH electrode prevents interference from humidity and electrical noise from common sources including from motors, ballasts or pumps. The HI9813-5 is a versatile meter for the agricultural, greenhouse and hydroponic uses.
HI1285-5 polypropylene body amplified pH electrode with built-in+ EC/TDS and temperature sensors
The HI9813-5 is supplied with a polypropylene body pH/EC/TDS/temperature probe. The pH, EC, TDS, and temperature sensor are housed in a single body that connects to the meter with a DIN connector.
Amplified pH electrode
The pH electrode circuit has a built-in amplifier that will reduce the effects of electrical noise on the high impedance-pH measurement. Examples of sources of electrical noise include motors, ballasts, and pumps which are common in greenhouses.
Amperometric EC/TDS sensor
The EC/TDS readings are performed by an amperometric sensor. An alternating voltage is applied to the sensor and the amount of current that passes between the two stainless steel pins is dependent upon the number of salts (fertilizer) present. A greater amount of salt present results in an increase in conductance.
The polypropylene body houses all the sensors in single body design and is durable. The probe is gel filled for maintenance-free operation. It does not have to be refilled periodically.
- 3 sensors in a single probe
- Pre-amplified pH electrode for resistance to electrical noise
- Gel-filled maintenance free pH electrode
- Automatic Temperature Compensation
- All readings are compensated for variations in temperature
- EC to TDS conversion factor

Farmer's Market is almost over (just two more days- tomorrow & Saturday) and I'm thinking about this winter...
Some yucky home stuff means that Two Sisters will not be at many Christmas bazaars, probably only two or three. So what shall I do this winter to keep from going insane? I was planning on taking metal-smithing, but the same yucky home stuff means I didn't get to do that this semester. Boo!
I'm expecting to get to play a little more with polymer, and I'm hopeful about how that will come together in the next couple months.
Deborah is learning violin and will be a little mouse in the Nutcracker.
Abigail will be doing her Occupational Therapy (Sensory Processing Disorder) and she will also be starting girl scouts this Saturday.
But what else? I have to have something solid to get me through the cold and dark.... I'll let you all know more when I know more.

The Boise Valley Fly Fishers are pleased to announce the 11th Annual Western Idaho Fly Fishing Expo on Saturday and Sunday, January 10th-11th, 2015. We will continue to hold the 2 day event at Expo Idaho with an indoor casting pond and a dynamic group of speakers.
The Boise Valley Fly Fishers is the oldest fly fishing organization in Idaho. Our mission to promote the sport of fly-fishing through education and conservation activities is dependent upon a successful Expo. Instruction in fly tying, casting, and fly fishing ethics has been our strength over the years.
Our organization has used funds raised at the Expo to support conservation throughout the Northwest. We have partnered with Trout Unlimited, Idaho Fish and Game, and the Bureau of Reclamation to complete several conservation projects on the South Fork of the Boise. BVFF for the past several years has supported the important work carried out by Casting for Recovery, Project Healing Waters, and the Nature Conservancy through annual donations.
The BVFF would like to formally invite you to this year's event. You will find a registration form and floor plan included with the letter. We are unable to reserve a booth without a COMPLETELY filled out registration form and a deposit. The Expo would gratefully accept any raffle/auction donations and hope to see you at the fund raising banquet. | <urn:uuid:814260ed-7bfe-49de-bc5c-cd442e8c44b9> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.bvffexpo.com/Exhibitors.html | 2014-12-18T22:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802768034.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075248-00052-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942452 | 271 |

It was reconsidered the next day and defeated. Note: Such a ban may be prohibited by international trade treaties. The amendment passed 18 to 18 in the Senate on June 17, 2009.

Senate Roll Call 257 on The amendment
Senator Thomas, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 436 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Thomas’ statement is as follows:
I rise in opposition, very strong opposition, to this so-called environmental reform package of bills. If I may speak to Senate Bill Nos. 436, 438, and 439 all at once.
These bills manage to both undermine DEQ’s ability to protect the resources of our state while, at the same time, reducing their already insufficient funding. A frequent complaint heard in committee testimony, in the Economic Development and Regulatory Reform Committee, was that the department takes too long to process permits, particularly compared to other states. Statistics, those that we independently have sought, seem to refute this allegation. DEQ has produced a report which shows quite specifically that 97 percent of DEQ’s permit decisions were made within the required processing period. Of those, 98 percent were ultimately approved. In anybody’s measure, that’s an A-plus.
As for specifics, Senate Bill No. 436 reduces DEQ fees by half when licensed profession engineers prepare and submit permit applications. The 21-day time period given to DEQ to review these applications is unreasonably short and very hard to attain. Senate Bill No. 438 would require the use of stratified random sampling. Doing so would place several of the departments dedicated programs in conflict with federal regulations, guidance, and grant reports. Presumably, that is an inconsistency with legislation that is later going to come as a part of your reform package.
The efforts to structure a common method and procedure to evaluate environmental programs through benchmark analysis and peer reviews required under Senate Bill No. 439 fail to recognize the complexity and differences among those programs. This would create duplicative workloads already being done. Repeat—this would duplicate work already being done by the department.
These bills, quite frankly, are a solution in search of a problem. My colleagues should reject them, and we should go forward to more important legislative matters. I would ask that my colleagues vote “no.”
Senator Kahn, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the adoption of the amendment offered by Senator Brater to Senate Bill No. 436.
Senator Kahn’s statement is as follows:
I voted “no” on this amendment, although I have to say the issue of Canadian trash is important in my district and, most certainly, would like to see it eliminated. The reason I voted “no” is that the amendment was technically flawed. I refer specifically to its being initiated with this statement: “Subject to subsection (3),” and then subsequently within the amendment, subsection (3) is deleted. So the amendment needs to be redone and recast.
This legislation reminds me of the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to implemwent wetland laws. They enacted the legislation and then had to secure consultants to do the work. It was an unnatural process. | <urn:uuid:c47e828e-d6f0-415c-b028-954f82e91957> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.michiganvotes.org/RollCall.aspx?ID=409946 | 2014-04-24T16:17:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223206647.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032006-00250-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946711 | 1,314 |

I have drawn a square (snapped to grid) of 5" by 5". I want to a drawn an angled line through the square.
Start point of angled line is at the 0,0 (lower left) corner of the square. The angle of the line is to be 67.5 degrees. The end point of the line is to be on the top of the square (i.e., the line of the square defined as the line segment 0,5 to 5,5).
I know I could calculate the length of the line and where on the top of the square the angled line should end. But it seems to me there should be a way of automatically doing this. I.e., telling the QCad program to place the end of the angled line where it crosses (is the term "bi-sect"?) the top line of the square.
I'm just staring using CAD and I have no experience drafting (I don't know technical terminology), so an explanation is appreciated it. Thanks.

Many of the car collectors we visit in the course of putting together our magazines tend to have larger-than-average properties – gentlemen farmers, if you’d like to call them that. And many of them tend to have some sort of older Ford tractor they use to perform all sorts of miscellaneous tasks around the property. After all, what’s the use of a tractor that just sits pretty in the barn? So we imagine that, as clean as this 1961 Ford tractor for sale on Hemmings appears, whoever buys it will end up putting it back to work. From the seller’s description:
1961 Ford 841 Tractor. This is a very good older tractor. Lift and PTO works well, tires are good, steering is good, carburetor rebuilt. Runs and operates well. 41.44 draw bar horse power 3 point hitch. 4 cyl gas engine. New paint. Updated electrics with GM alternator. 12 volt one wire.

by Wade Bourne
Hunting from a boat is a great way to utilize North America's public lakes, rivers, marshes, and swamps. A boat outfitted with a blind and the proper equipment will allow hunters to follow ducks that move as water or feeding conditions change. My personal rig is a 16-foot Go-Devil boat and motor with an Avery Quick-Set blind. This is no big-water outfit. I use it mostly in backwaters when the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and their tributaries are flooding. This boat-blind has provided me with many wonderful hunts in the past 15 years.
One key to success in this style of hunting is carrying the right gear. My boat has a spacious dry locker, and I stock it with items that facilitate my hunting efforts in different situations.
Following is a list of what I carry on board my duck boat. Other hunters might add or subtract from this list according to the special needs of where and how they hunt.
The U.S. Coast Guard requires the following items aboard boats 16 feet to less than 26 feet in length:
- a Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each passenger
- a throwable Type IV flotation device
- a sound-producing device such as a whistle or air horn
- a visual signaling device (flares and flare gun)
- a fire extinguisher
The boat must also be properly registered and numbered, and the navigation lights must be operable for running in the dark. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons offer free boat inspections, and hunters can set up an appointment for a safety check by logging on to safetyseal.net.
I also carry several other safety items for special emergencies:
- Survival kit – including strike-anywhere matches in a waterproof container, a candle, space blanket, multi-tool, survival snacks, and parachute cord
- First-aid kit – a comprehensive kit with a first-aid manual in a waterproof container
- Extra clothes – a full change of clothes (underwear to parka) in a waterproof canoe bag. If a hunter falls into the water, dry clothes will help ward off hypothermia.
Besides safety gear, here's a list of equipment that can come in handy on a hunting trip:
- Decoys – two dozen mallard decoys rigged with extra long anchor lines, which can be half-hitched for use in shallow water
- Push pole – for poling through shallow water, picking up decoys, checking bottom depth, etc.
- Long-handle paddle – in case the motor quits
- Hard-hat spotlight – a mega-candlepower headlight mounted on a hard plastic safety helmet. This spotlight shines where I turn my head, allowing hands-free illumination for nighttime running.
- Avery Double-Duty dog platform/ladder – With this hang-on dog platform/ladder, my Lab can easily climb back into the boat.
- Sta-bil fuel stabilizer – When added to fresh gas, this product keeps moisture from forming and freezing in the gas tank and fuel line.
- Tool chest – miscellaneous tools (pliers, wrenches, socket set, screwdrivers, etc.) for doing simple repairs on the motor, boat trailer, and accessories
- Quick starting spray – canned ether for providing hot-start capability if the motor gets cranky
- Rescue Tape – a product designed to make on-site repairs of the fuel hose
- Small chain saw – for sawing logs when exploring for ducks up small creeks and sloughs
- Limb pruners – When hunting, I like to position my boat in brush or next to a tree with overhanging limbs. I use the pruners to trim limbs out of the shooting lane and cut additional brush for the blind.
- Stout nylon rope – for securing the boat to a tree or brush
- Camouflage netting – for covering the motor and bow of the boat and for breaking up the opening formed by the two top rails of the Quick-Set blind
- One-burner camp stove/heater – for warming food and beverages
- Hand-held GPS – to help navigate flooded swamps and brushy backwaters during periods of high water
- Camo duct tape – for everything else
I carry shotgun shells, calls, a thermos, sunglasses, a multi-tool, decoy gloves, zip ties, and other small items in my blind bag. I also keep my cell phone in a plastic bag in my parka pocket.
A final word of caution: hunting from a boat is effective, but it can also be dangerous if simple safety rules aren't followed. Each season, several waterfowl hunters lose their lives because they venture out in craft that are too small to handle rough waters or because they aren't wearing a life jacket when an accident happens. Don't head out on big water in little boats, and always wear your life jacket when your boat is under way and insist that your passengers do likewise. Erring on the side of caution may keep you from becoming the next tragic statistic. | <urn:uuid:d58db89f-eb34-4234-92f6-49340feed4fa> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.ducks.org/printPage.aspx?documentID=4589 | 2015-04-28T03:52:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246660628.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045740-00008-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.915734 | 1,061 |

News broke earlier this week that "Arrow" star Katie Cassidy will guest star on an upcoming episode of "The Flash." But Cassidy won't be playing the Laurel Lance that "Arrow" viewers have come to know over four seasons; instead, she'll be playing the Earth-2 version of the character, who goes by the name Black Siren as opposed to Black Canary. Footage of Cassidy filming on "Flash's" Vancouver set has made its way online, and it shows off the actress's complete Black Siren look.

In the comics, Black Siren was the Golden Age version of the Black Canary. Her name was Dinah Drake, and was the mother of the Black Canary, Dinah Laurel Lance. Not much is known about how Black Siren will end up on "The Flash's" Earth-1 or if she'll be friend or foe -- although it does look like Cassidy has a bit of a super villain's swagger in the footage.
"The Flash" airs on Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on the CW. | <urn:uuid:2ff430a1-6851-4df4-9205-a9561b4fece5> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.cbr.com/watch-arrows-katie-cassidy-stalks-flashs-streets-as-black-siren/ | 2019-09-20T01:15:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573801.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190920005656-20190920031656-00416.warc.gz | en | 0.966814 | 229 |
Christian began his training in his native France in 1966, focusing on pastry, ice cream and chocolate. After earning his Masters in 1969, he worked in Switzerland crafting chocolate, then in Royan with ice cream, and finally at his family's business in Belfort making pastries and chocolates.
In 1979, Christian became a head pastry chef in Chicago and soon found himself instructing a large staff on the art of French pastry making without speaking English. Undaunted by the language barrier, Christian continued to follow his creative journey in the United States and soon migrated to Santa Barbara working in consulting.
After a nearly 23-year hiatus from the food industry, Christian established himself in the contemporary art glass scene. His sculptural vessels, teapots, and later in his career, architectural chandeliers, are elegant, whimsical and easily recognized by his strong play with colors and design.
"Glass, like chocolate, are similiar mediums. Both start out as hot, liquid fluid that can later be formed, shaped, and created into beautiful solid objects."
Soon Christian found himself dreaming in chocolate again, in August 2010 Preliminaires Chocolat was founded. His chocolates are made with the finest chocolate and raw ingredients that can be procured.
It is Christian's passion to create chocolate that is pure, decadent and sublime. | <urn:uuid:ab902e48-a3ea-43b0-ba70-21507c0e113f> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.preliminaireschocolat.com/bio | 2020-04-06T06:38:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371618784.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200406035448-20200406065948-00324.warc.gz | en | 0.977254 | 276 |
Body and Mind: Where Is The Healing Found?
Ten years ago I realised that I was deeply unhappy. The depth of pain was shrouded by time, the folds of the unconscious mind and, it turns out, by a very disturbed posture.
For about seven years I ‘worked’ only on my mind and found no solice, relief or healing. Three years ago I dropped the focus on my mind, realising that the circular nature of the effort to unpick the past in this way was not working. I began to focus instead on my body.
Previously I had been physically healthy, fit and strong. I used to manage ski resorts and was snowboarding for six hours a day. The past two years has been a journey of great difficulty as I have slowly unwound my body and one by one muscles have come back to life which have not worked for thirty years.
My pelvis was twisted. My right hip was twisted. The gluteus medius on the left and the gluteus maximus and psoas on the right did not function at all. My upper body, twisted by the pelvis, twisted back on itself and collapsing the right lung into a small part of my lower chest. This twisting also meant I could control my right leg, even though half the muscles were ‘missing’ others in my abdomen and lower back took over. My pelvic floor stood idly by and watched all this going on. Few of the back muscles of my body on the right side worked, not least the trapezius. Many other muscles in my body overworked. My neck and head, in a final twist, has been locked into an incredibly painful position to counterbalance the rest of my body and the twisting forces in these major mucscle groups.
I have learned I was raped as an infant and that has been the cause of my deep unhappiness and physical problems. I learned to walk in this twisted way that evolved to avoid the pain of the rape. I also learned to look normal despite this and so that I would be left alone.
Unfortunately, too normal, especially for the medical doctors. They, being fooled by my apparant straightness, could not detect what my body was doing, even though they could identify many muscles not functioning. I am being a little generous. The doctors are fundamentally ignorant about the body and it’s ability to compensate – in short they are fooled by their own expertise.
The other significant consequence, as anyone with a little knowledge of the body could tell you, was on my hieght. At the age of thirty eight I have increased in hieght by over two inches in two years. When my body finally straightens up fully I am about six foot and one inch. My full adult hieght, all my adult life, was five feet and ten and one quarter of an inch.
Some psychologists and therapists would tell me that my inner child was doing all this. The truth is that habits of body and mind were formed to avoid the pain in my body and the pain of the memories. As I have unwound the habits of body, the mind too has found release. The Buddha taught all about this over two thousand years ago. He taught that five Skandhas (or “heaps”) of habits dictated who we were. The first habits in the heap are the habits of body. These must be undone for the other habits, of mind, to be laid bare and worked upon.
So the answer to the question posed in the title of this piece is that healing is found first in the body. And as the body unwinds the mind follows naturally. The healing has to be complete, body and mind, or bodymind as I prefer to use for it’s indispensible merging of the two.
And if you find yourself deeply unhappy, what should you do? Learn to walk really slowly – it is called walking meditation – and pay attention to your body. Memory is a function of the bodymind, not just the mind. You will get to the root of it if you start with the ground and that is the body in this case. | <urn:uuid:455fee5e-c556-44d0-b176-155d53b8c751> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://freedomforall.net/body-and-mind-where-is-the-healing-found/ | 2013-06-19T01:40:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368707439012/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516123039-00056-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979169 | 854 |
Angelo Cacciuto, PhD, Columbia University
The scientific projects funded by the ACS Petroleum Research Grant over the last year focused on packing problems of nanoparticles. Specifically our research in this second year has been centered around the problem of packing of ultra-soft nano-components with implicit and explicit interactions and on phase separation of immiscible polymers on curved templates. In the former case we explored how relaxing the excluded volume interactions between nanoparticles affects the structural properties of the crystalline condensed phases formed at large densities. In the latter case, we uncovered the physical mechanisms behind the micro-phase separation of immiscible polymers or ligands on curved templates.
(1) Understanding how nanocomponents spontaneously organize into complex macroscopic structures is one of the great challenges in the field of soft matter today. Despite much effort, the question of how to design shape and interactions of nanocomponents for a much desired bottom-up approach to structure formation, remains unanswered.
Recently, it has been recognized that soft/deformable mesoparticles such as charged or neutral star polymers, dendrimers or micro-gels, have the potential of generating a plethora of novel crystalline phases previously inaccessible to spherical components interacting with hard-core (steep) potentials. Unfortunately, because of the internal degrees of freedom associated with this class of soft components, extracting pair potentials that accurately describe the interactions between them at high densities is very complicated as it involves density dependent many-body interactions. Because of this, we studied several phase diagrams of classes of soft pair potentials to understand how the structure of the crystalline phases depends on the details of the interactions. What we found was very insightful. (a) The overall structure of the phase diagrams is very much independent of the pair potential, i.e. all potentials explored presented an upper freezing point, and a re-entrant melting transition at large densities. However, (b) the symmetry and the number of the crystalline phases are extremely sensitive to the shape of the interactions. Our study therefore suggest that a great effort in finding accurate potentials between soft-nanocomponents must be pursued as the structure formation in these systems is very much dependent on the details of the interactions. Finally, we are performing an analysis of the phase behavior of star polymers with an explicit representation system to check the limits of applicability of pair interactions.
(2) Polymer brushes are dense systems of polymer chains tethered to a non-adsorbing surface. They are used in a large number of technological applications, including colloidal stabilization, lubrication, adhesives, and drug-biocompatibility enhancers. It was recently shown that a mixture of immiscible ligands or polymers having different length, spontaneously phase separate into striped phases when reorganizing over a spherical template (nanoparticle). Understanding how the width of the stripes depends on the difference in length of the polymers is a question of fundamental importance for controlling the morphologies of the self-assembled structures. We carried out extensive numerical simulations on these systems and found simple scaling laws governing the observed phenomenological behavior.
Overall I believe that the PRF grant was greatly beneficial for my career and for that of the two (half-time) graduate students that it supported. Our research produced several publications that have been accepted in competitive journals. The PRF grant allowed us to perform some highly exploratory research. Specifically, our work on ultra-soft nanoparticles and on phase separation on curved templates is very relevant as the link between structure and pair interactions is a crucial factor in the phase behavior of these systems. In the near future we will keep on exploring the features of these phase diagrams to better understand the limit of validity of these pair potentials when describing such complex mesoparticles with internal degrees of freedom, and eventually develop systematic coarse-graining strategies to better describe their physical properties. The PRF fund enabled us to setup the groundwork for a whole new line of research in my group.
The graduate students working on these projects have mastered the most advanced techniques in computer simulations for free energy calculations of complex fluids, and have been exposed to some very intriguing scientific puzzles whose realm goes well beyond the standard studies of a physical chemistry graduate program. They both attended international summer school on related over the summer. | <urn:uuid:26aadcab-a0d5-4a84-a1c9-e9a56b70de8d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://acswebcontent.acs.org/prfar/2012/Paper12126.html | 2022-08-10T08:54:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571150.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810070501-20220810100501-00715.warc.gz | en | 0.935605 | 881 |
BitFenix Shinobi XL Case Review: Something is Lost in the Processby Dustin Sklavos on June 26, 2012 2:40 AM EST
- Posted in
In and Around the BitFenix Shinobi XL
Aesthetics are a very subjective thing, but I have to admit I'm not hugely infatuated with the look of the Shinobi XL. It's true that black goes with everything, and there's nothing terribly wrong with a good black monolithic tower. My problem is that the way the original Shinobi styling has scaled up leaves me wanting. Try to imagine how the original Unreal Tournament looked back when it came out when we were all running it at 640x480 (or 320x200 in my case; my computer was terrible), then think about how it looks running on a modern system at 1920x1200. The detail doesn't scale up well, and there's a lot of empty space. I feel like that's what's going on here.
The shell of the Shinobi XL consists of black, soft-touch plastic and black steel. I'm very fond of the plastic, as it usually feels fairly sturdy and the texture feels classy at almost any point on the price continuum. The front maintains the parallel ventilation lines and features five 5.25" bays. Yet while these ventilation points felt adequate on the original Shinobi, on the Shinobi XL they seem too thin and I'm concerned that they don't draw in enough air on their own.
When we move to the top of the Shinobi XL, we find the I/O cluster with an impressive four USB 3.0 ports, a single USB charging port (no data, only power), and the standard mic and headphone jacks alongside the power and reset buttons. Beyond that is pretty much a front-to-back ventilated grate capable of supporting a whopping two 230mm fans or three 120mm fans.
The left side panel features an acrylic window designed to highlight the primary motherboard area, while the right side panel is a basic flat black panel. The rear of the enclosure is also matte black steel, and in fact even the bottom is painted black. When you do look at the rear, though, you can get a feel for just how much space is hidden behind the motherboard tray. The Shinobi XL is as wide as it is for a reason.
Four thumbscrews hold the side panels on, and when you remove them you'll find an interior that's largely bog standard for current generation enclosures: bottom-mounted PSU, optical drive bays with toolless clamps, removable hard drive cage oriented laterally with plastic drive trays, and a motherboard tray with rubber-grommet-lined routing holes. Users expecting the kind of creativity we've seen on enclosures like the Outlaw and Prodigy are bound to be disappointed; the Shinobi XL is as fundamental as it gets.
That adherence to the fundamentals works fine in the regular Shinobi at half the price, but when you go north of about $120 to $140, you start to expect a little more verve in enclosure designs. While BitFenix excels in making the Shinobi XL water-cooling friendly (how many vendors do you know who find ways to fit three 120mm intake fans in the front of the case?), the overall design is incredibly tame. That's a shame, too, because modern conventions are far from perfect and there's a lot of room for improvement.

Chaitanya - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkBitFenix has some really good cases and they innovate when it comes to bringing new cases to market.
Pennanen - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkAnd what exactly has bitfenix given to the case markets? Assuming you werent sarcastic.
xbournex - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkSuperCharge, SofTouch, Prodigy, stock water cooling support, brightest LED strips, most dense sleeving extensions, first internet connectivity fan controller, and unnecessary flashy in-your-face look cases.

What useful things have bitfenix given to the markets?
killerclick - Sunday, July 15, 2012 - linkLack of girlfriend detected.
cjs150 - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkBut the review is nice and thorough
Dustin you really hit the nail "modern conventions are far from perfect and there's a lot of room for improvement".
As an example, the case is wide - why not turn the PSU 90 degrees and have the cables feeding directly into the area behind the motherboard. Lian Li at least experiment with different locations.
I would love to see a case where there is a built in power splitter for the 5.25 bays and Hard drive cages so one molex cable goes to a daughter board which has several socket to run short cables up to the hard drives for example - a bit of imagination would result in a very neat cabling job.
This case really excels for watercooling. Perfect for using a 200x200 mm radiatior (or even 2, front and top)
xbournex - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkThe review compares a mATX case 2/3 of the price of this case, an aluminum case with almost no water cooling support that's 2x the price, and ambient temperatures that vary with each review resulting in a default temperature, and noise level being already higher, or lower.
The case was designed for watercooling in mind, which the reviewer poorly covered. Not thorough if you ask me.
xbournex - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linknot as thorough as it could be**
Olaf van der Spek - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkHey xbournex,
Anandtech doesn't test watercooling as far as I know.
When can we expect some BitFenix mATX cases? :p
cjs150 - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkMust admit I cannot remember Anandtech reviewing watercooling either.
Watercooling is a niche for those who like to have a bit of fun and get their hands dirty (I think that should read "wet") on the innards of their computer.
I love it, but I know it is not very everyone.
The case looks as though it would be very good for watercooling possible even better than the legend that is the Silverstone TJ07. Certainly more than capable of cooling two hot running GPUs, a seriously overclocked CPU and maybe even the RAM as well without really breaking sweat. So would be pretty quiet compared to trying to air cool that lot | <urn:uuid:a69c4cea-966d-4793-8ea0-b852b07d83b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://ww.anandtech.com/show/6021/bitfenix-shinobi-xl-review-something-is-lost-in-the-process/2 | 2023-06-10T15:27:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224657720.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20230610131939-20230610161939-00786.warc.gz | en | 0.947328 | 1,424 |
Holidaymakers from all over the country flock to Wiltshire year after year to sample its plethora of unique treats. The beautiful and tranquil countryside makes an ideal environment for a leisurely walking holiday. Elsewhere, the bustling market towns are packed with exciting attractions for all the family. The wealth of two star hotels in Wiltshire means that the county's delights are open to everyone, no matter what your budget.
Walking Holidays in Wiltshire
Wiltshire is an almost exclusively rural county, with only a handful of large towns and just the one city. As such, there's plenty of open countryside to be explored on foot. The North Wessex Downs are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which are particularly popular with ramblers. The rural parts of the county are punctuated with fascinating prehistoric landmarks, which add an element of intrigue to the already impressive landscapes.
Avebury Life B&B is an ideal spot for walkers keen to check out some of Wiltshire's prehistoric attractions. There are a number of unusual and fascinating things to see at Avebury, including an elaborate and mysterious stone circle. This charming and friendly B&B is just one mile from the stone circle, and Silbury Hill isn't much further. Stonehenge can be reached by car or via local public transport.
Most visitors to Wiltshire come in search of peace, quiet and country walks, but that's not all there is to this south-western county. Unsurprisingly, it's the county's only city - Salisbury - that offers the best nightlife, although there's also a generous helping of bars in Swindon, which is also home to plenty of affordable two star hotels.
The White Hart offers traditional accommodation in Swindon, with a complimentary breakfast to sweeten the deal. The Campanile Swindon offers another affordable option, just outside the town centre.
Sightseeing in Salisbury
It's not only the nightlife that draws tourists into the medieval city of Salisbury. There's also plenty to see and do. Salisbury Cathedral is undoubtedly the main event, but visitors should also look out for the Salisbury Museum, Old Sarum and, of course, Stonehenge.
Sarum Cottage offers some delightful two star accommodation near the centre of Salisbury. The gorgeous period property features a library, lift and free WiFi - great for planning each day's itinerary before you leave the hotel.
Don't Compromise on Wiltshire Hotels
Two star hotels in Wiltshire may offer astonishing value for money, but that doesn't mean they need to be basic. Many of the county's two star offerings actually offer something pretty special. The Shaw Country Hotel is a pretty property surrounded by picturesque gardens. Despite the intimate accommodation, which comprises a modest 13 rooms, the hotel boasts an impressively large conference space, as well as a private meeting room.
Damson Cottage B&B is a magnificent building located in Reybridge, a short way outside of Chippenham. The B&B offers a free breakfast, fast internet and free parking. This makes it an ideal choice for visitors who have their own vehicle. From this pretty, rural location, there's plenty of opportunity to get out and explore the rest of this spectacular county. | <urn:uuid:2558f62c-0f48-4c45-9dce-aedb0ac39bc2> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://www.expedia.co.uk/2Star-Wiltshire-Hotels.s20-0-d6046235.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels | 2017-03-30T04:46:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191986.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00329-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949893 | 679 |

Kids of all ages can enjoy using sidewalk chalk whether it is in their driveway or actually on a sidewalk near home. Here are some ideas for making the most of a bucket of sidewalk chalk.
- Play Tic Tac Toe- Draw the grid with chalk and then use natural items such as rocks or pinecones to represent the Xs and Os.
- Target Practice- Draw a bull’s eye with several circles around it and designate point values for each circle. Use rocks or bean bags to try to hit the target.
- Mathematical Hopscotch- Put a spin on the traditional hopscotch game by having kids practice math facts as they hop from square to square.
- Create a Constellation- Use rocks and sidewalk chalk to create new constellations and develop a story about how the new constellation came to be in the sky.
- Practice Letters or Words- With younger children write random letters on the sidewalk. Then, call out one letter at a time and see how quickly your child can run, hop or skip to that letter. For older kids, write sight words and play the same game.
- Draw a Twin- Have your child lay down and trace the outline of their body in chalk. Then, have them add details to create a mirror image of themselves.
- Create a Scene- Draw a habitat such as a jungle or the desert including plant and animal life. Have the kids help color the habitat and then make up a story about what happens when you visit.
- Just Draw- Simply exploring their own artistic wishes makes most kids happy! | <urn:uuid:03147ae1-53f9-476b-b1ae-eaeffe3f0b33> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.wilmingtonparent.com/kids/summer-fun%3A-sidewalk-chalk/ | 2015-01-30T06:20:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115856087.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161056-00098-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.901036 | 325 |

Can you imagine the aroma from a gingerbread creation made from more than 1,200 pounds of sugar and 3,000 eggs? That’s one big cookie.
It’s actually the S.S. Amelia Gingerbread Pirate Ship, and it arrives in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island on Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012. This is a free event and all are invited to gawk (or drool) at the display.
The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island has so many holiday events happening, I can’t even begin to list them all or give details, but to whet your appetite, here are some highlights:
They are also having all kinds of dining events from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day Brunch. For all the details and to make reservations, call 800-241-3333 or visit their website.
If there’s one thing South Florida is known for in the wintertime, it’s great weather. Two more things? Fishing is hot and fruits and vegetables grow like crazy. Put those all together and you get the First Annual Redland Fish Fry at the Fruit and Spice Park.
This two-day event promises to be a great time for all ages. The weather is going to be gorgeous (high temp of 75 degrees) so bring a blanket and plan to stay till closing. Wander the lush grounds, bebop from booth to booth and try fresh seafood, listen to live music and. when the sun goes down, put your head back and do a little star gazing. (The Fruit and Spice Park is away from city lights so the nightly constellation show will leave you mesmerized.)
For the kids, there’ll be pony rides and an interactive fishing zone where they can learn tricks from the pros like knot tying, lure selection, fish identification and casting. And if you’ve wanted to learn more about the sport of kayak fishing, here’s your chance to attend a free workshop. All ages are welcome.
Saturday, Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Landlubbers will find plenty of munchies, too. Admission is only $8 for adults and free for children ages 11 and under. And, here's a GROUPONl where you can get in for only $4 if you purchase today.
For more info, you can log on to their website Fruit and Spice Park, or call 305-247-5727.
Feeling like a cup of crazy? Want to scream like a little girl? These offbeat adventures are designed to thrill.
For an utterly unique experience, grab a flight on the JetLev, a custom-designed, water-propelled jetpack. You'll feel like the childhood superhero of your dreams, weightless and free, suspended in the sky with nothing above or below you. Hover on the water's surface, rocket across it at 30 miles per hour or soar as high as three stories into the air. You can snag a flight at the TradeWinds Island Grand on St. Pete Beach or at Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key.
Zip lining features climbs up dizzyingly high platforms and speedy flights over the treetops; roller coasters feature twists, turns and drops designed to leave your stomach in another county. A combination of the two experiences more than doubles the thrills. "The Rattlesnake," the nation's first zip line rollercoaster, has just slithered into the forest at Florida EcoSafaris at Forever Florida in St. Cloud. You'll launch from a 65-foot platform and fly at speeds up to 20 mph as you whoop, swoop and dip through 1,000 feet of adrenaline-inducing adventure.
Hang gliding lets you experience flying the way a bird does. You feel the air against your face and see the world shrink into a patchwork below you; you shift your weight and ride the currents of the sky. Here in the Sunshine State you get airborne by towing up to the desired altitude behind a powered plane instead of launching from a mountain. You can try tandem hang gliding at Quest Air Hang Gliding in Groveland (west of Orlando), The Florida Ridge between Clewiston and LaBelle, Wallaby Ranch in Davenport and Paradise Hang Gliding in Islamorada in the Florida Keys.
If you're looking for an extreme scream, try bungee jumping. At the Track Family Recreation Center in Destin, you'll tumble off a 75-foot platform before getting snapped back into space by the elastic cord. You'll spring up and down several times, ending your experience by being lowered into an oversize airbag. Cobra Adventure Park in Panama City Beach offers the Vertical Accelerator Bungee Ride. This 'reverse bungee' rockets you towards the heavens before treating you to a freefall of 160 feet. For the ultimate freefall and glide, opt for SkyCoaster at Fun Spot Amusement Park in Kissimmee. At 300 feet high, it's the world's tallest SkyCoaster.
Skydiving is the very definition of radical. First, you climb into an airplane and fly to heights of more than two miles. Next, you jump out of that perfectly good airplane. You free fall at a cheek-rippling 120 to 130 miles per hour for 60 seconds. Finally, you deploy your chute and float back to terra firma.
With its abundance of open fields, flat terrain and mild winters, Florida is ideal for the sport. You can thrill to this adventure in every corner of the state, including Skydive City in Zephyrhills, Skydive Jacksonville, Skydive Palm Beach in Wellington and the Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales.
If you have yet to experience SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration in Orlando, I would highly recommend adding a visit to your wish list.
One thing I always love is The Sea of Trees – over 100 trees in the lagoon, their sparkling choreographed to music. Another not-to-be-missed area is The Christmas Market, where you can shop for gifts and enjoy sinfully delicious holiday goodies.
More holiday highlights:
Oh Wondrous Night – If you see only one thing while you're here, make it this show. It's the "greatest story never told" with the animals of the manger each telling their story of that wondrous night. It will leave you with goosebumps. The music, the voices, the lighting – it's one heck of a production.
Winter Wonderland on Ice – An amazing ice show with fireworks, fountains and some of the most talented ice skaters on earth.
Clyde and Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas – If you love sea lions, wait till you see how sweet they are in this Christmas comedy, complete with otters and a jolly walrus.
The POLAR EXPRESS – The movie and the book come to life with you playing a starring role. “All aboard” the train and after a thrilling journey, you’ll arrive at the North Pole where you’ll meet Santa Claus himself. See beluga whales and sip hot chocolate.
A Sesame Street Christmas – Celebrate the holidays with all your favorite characters including Big Bird and Elmo. It’s musical fun for all ages.
Santa’s Seaside Fire Chat – Have an unforgettable, all-you-care-to-eat holiday feast with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Take home a souvenir family photo, too.
SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration can be seen on select dates from Nov. 17-Dec. 31, 2012.

If your child can hold his or her own fishing pole, then come on out to the Second Annual “Ding” Darling Kids Fishing Derby on Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012. This free event will be held on the Sanibel Causeway Islands Park (Island A).
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on the causeway, lines are in the water starting at 9 a.m. and the finish is at 11 a.m. Kids that are 15 and younger are welcome.

A limited amount of loaner fishing poles will be available so if you have your own, please bring it. Tarpon Bay Explorers will be supplying the bait.
In addition to fishing, volunteers and staff will teach your kids safe and ethical fishing practices and engage them in fun fish crafts.
This free event is brought to you by the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS). I hope you can take advantage and go fish.
The sleepy seaside village of Vero Beach has a secret. This Florida beach town, known for its year-round cultural arts scene, is home to another hidden jewel, a place where summer romance sizzles to a Latin beat.
Far from the bright lights of Miami, the luxurious Costa d'Este Beach Resort is nestled halfway between West Palm Beach and Merritt Island. The resort boasts elegant one-bedroom suites, a signature bar known for its mojitos and an infinity-edge swimming pool that disappears into the nearby crashing waves.
While this may be the first time you've heard of the resort, I'm certain you'll be familiar with its famous owners. Vero Beach has long been known for attracting creative types and artists, so it's no wonder superstar recording artist Gloria Estefan chose this seaside village to develop her $50 million luxury boutique resort. The international singer and her husband, Grammy Award-winning producer Emilio Estefan, opened Costa d'Este in 2008 and transformed it into a world-class hotel, worthy of its AAA Four-Diamond distinction.
"We chose to develop a resort here because we wanted to invest in Vero Beach and think it's a quiet beach community and is the perfect distance for a weekend getaway from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Orlando," the singer, who owns a home in Vero Beach, told TCPalm.com.
The Estefans discovered Vero Beach about 11 years ago and immediately fell in love with the community and the people. "Once we began spending time in our home we came to appreciate the many natural attractions in the area," Estefan said to TCPalm.com.
Almost 150 miles south in Miami Beach, the couple owns an authentic Cuban restaurant, Larios on the Beach, as well as the sophisticated and art deco-themed Cardozo Hotel on Ocean Drive. Each of their properties, including Costa d'Este, exudes the famous duo's Latin flair and lavish taste.
"The Costa d'Este is one of my favorite places to visit," said Lou Guida, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles and retired Senior Vice President of Merrill Lynch. Guida travels with his family to the resort several times a year.
What does he love most about Costa d'Este? The laid-back atmosphere, personal touches and high level of comfort the resort provides for his entire family, he said.
"The friendly staff anticipates every detail of your vacation," he said. "One of the features everybody appreciates is the perfectly brewed complimentary coffee offered every day."
The resort can accommodate large groups for special events, weddings or corporate meetings. Lou's son, Mark Guida, resides in Vero Beach and planned a family and friends get-together at Costa d'Este.
"We had around 30 people come to the reunion and they had a spectacular time," the younger Guida said. "We enjoyed ourselves so much that many of us extended our stay."
Not only is the resort great for families because of its cozy boutique feel, it's also known for its elegant destination weddings and romantic ambiance. The Queen of Latin Pop designed the resort for guests who desire the perfect combination of tropical days and steamy nights.
With all this in mind, my husband and I set off for a couple's getaway to Costa d'Este. As the Entertainment & Luxury Insider for VISIT FLORIDA, I have had the opportunity to stay in some of the best resorts the Sunshine State has to offer, so I was excited to check out this jewel on Florida's Treasure Coast.
I was immediately impressed with the architecture of the resort – modern and chic with eye-catching geometrical designs and original artwork. It was clear to me the Estefans spared no expense on quality and attention to detail.
The rooms have smooth marble flooring and custom-designed furnishings. The limestone bathrooms are spacious and decked out with one of my favorite luxury amenities – rain showerheads. I easily could have kicked back with a good book in bed all day, pampered by tons of large fluffy pillows and Egyptian-cotton bed linens.
Instead, we pulled up a stool at the poolside bar and enjoyed complementary welcome mojitos, an amenity offered to every resort guest. It's always a good idea to start a relaxing getaway with a cold concoction of lime, sugar, mint and rum, and we found it was easy to get lost in the spectacular ocean view from the pool deck, the center of the resort's activity.
Like the Guida family, I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. Seven days a week, Manager Ed Riley makes his rounds throughout the resort. He introduces himself to every guest and will stop at nothing to ensure that each detail of your stay exceeds expectations.
"He adds that personal touch that makes you feel welcome and important," Guida said. "If you have a special request tell Ed and he will make it happen."
We asked Ed for dinner recommendations. He suggested The Wave Kitchen and Wine Bar and went out of his way to book our reservation, and hostess Robin Miller seated us at the best table in the house. It was picture-perfect. We sipped wine and listened to live music underneath the light of a full moon.
I'll be honest; I'm not always impressed with hotel food, but this was not your average hotel dining experience. Chef Antonio designed a seasonal menu featuring fresh ceviche, traditional American fare and, of course, Cuban cuisine. After a mouth-watering three-course meal, the chef brought out an incredible trio of desserts on a slab of marble. Every detail of the evening was magical.
Oh, and did I mention the view? Words cannot describe it, so you'll have to check it out for yourself.

The sand is as white as confectionary sugar along the shores of the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. It’s really stunning. And the sand is so clean it squeaks when you walk on it. Even if you don’t want sand between your toes, you can just relax on the new pool deck that overlooks the Gulf, or swim at the indoor pool.
If you love fine dining, this resort is home to Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood, Destin’s only AAA Four-Diamond restaurant. I took my then 7-year old to Seagar’s and we both loved the open-air kitchen. Other dining options include sushi, a casual deli, and Sandcastles that offers breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner.

As you know, VIP 6 players have access to a special, exclusive personal account manager - me! And that is pretty cool! :)
Miniclip has always been invested in providing the best support to every player but also making sure that all accounts are following our security guidelines and rules. That applies to everyone.
Because of this, we are changing our internal policy regarding VIP 6 support.
As of today, all VIP 6 players whose accounts are identified in our system as shared/sold or bought accounts will not be able to receive VIP support as this is a clear breach of our Terms of Service.
We reserve the right to downgrade these VIP accounts to low priority support or no support at all depending on the severity of the case.
We strongly believe that our players deserve a healthy gaming environment where they feel safe and where competition is built on fair-play foundations.

She has worked at Valencia College as a tutor and instructor since 2012. She has held the position of Writing Center Coordinator since 2015.
Meena firmly believes that learning is a process; no substantial change will occur overnight. She believes every faculty and staff member should facilitate that development and help nurture students' abilities by working as a cohesive unit for optimal student success.

Tips For Writing A Tech Tutorial Effectively & Interestingly
Just like how makeup tutorials and gaming tutorials exist, there are tech tutorials as well. Are you tired of your Photoshop CC crashing continuously and you not knowing how to solve this problem? Or are you fed up with having to go to a repair shop every time the computer starts acting up?
This is when tech tutorials act as a source of guidance. If you’re not a viewer but an experienced technologist who knows their way around devices and their functioning, looking to write a tech tutorial, then it is to be made sure that it’s interesting and helpful for the viewer. For this purpose, here are a few tips to succeed in this task.

What Is A Tech Tutorial?
We’re not diving into the complex world of technology just yet, and so, let’s learn about what tech tutorials really are. Tech Tutorials are a guide for all those people who need assistance in solving their computer problems and learning more about new technologies and how to use them in the best way possible.
Tech Tutorials can either be filmed or written. And if you’re looking to write a tech tutorial yourself, be sure to follow the tips mentioned below, in order to make the tutorial knowledgeable.
1. Select An Engaging Topic.
The topic of the Tech Tutorial should be something the writer has extensive knowledge about. The more information you have, the more helpful it becomes for the reader. The topic that you choose should also be related to what is trending or in the highlights in the technological world. Just like how British essay writers UK would probably provide guidance on how to write an engaging and interesting essay, tech tutorials do the same with technological products.
For instance, how to use Alexa. Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by the leading online retailer; Amazon. It is very likely that people buy this VA to show their friends they have the famous Alexa performing their tasks for them. Although, all your money and intentions to show off this gadget will go to waste if you don’t’ know how to use it. | <urn:uuid:16b6964b-dbdb-4924-8ab4-13020ae6c153> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.gurgut.com/tips-for-writing-a-tech-tutorial-effectively-interestingly/ | 2020-05-31T16:24:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347413551.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200531151414-20200531181414-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.935238 | 475 |

Valencia: So... a chickencow god? You do come across the strangest people. And animals. Anyway, his messenger left this letter for you.
Valencia: *reads* If you truly believe yourself worthy to know more about our secrets, then you'll need to start proving yourself.
Valencia: *reads* You can start by taking care of a rather annoying individual I find myself too busy to deal with.
Valencia: *reads* The vileness of his slander is making my attendants weep. Oh, and I advise you to not believe a word of what he says. - Zeuster
<Character>: Excuse me, but I'm looking for a troublemaker who's been maligning a chickencow named Zeuster.
<Character>: Have you heard any rumors of malicious gossip being spread about chickencow deities lately?
???: <Class>, you have lived too long alone if you would run errands for a creature such as Zeuster.
<Character>: Oh. ...I guess I'm looking for you, then, aren't I?
Somean Lion: He and his flock of foul, bird-brained attendants lounge around accepting tribute while his lackeys scurry like rodents...
Somean Lion: trying vainly to hide the evidence of misdeeds and mistakes. Be you a mouse, or a man?
<Character>: Last I checked, I was human. So I guess I'll take option B.
Somean Lion: I am sure you have some sense, as I can see you are forthright and honest.
Somean Lion: But surely that sense is muddled and confused if you are playing the part of Zeuster's fowl-minion.
<Character>: Well, I really want to know more about element bacon, and Zeuster's promised to tell me. What's he done to you for you be so rude to him?
<Character>: He seems like a good enough sort, though I keep expecting a chorus of trumpets to play when he appears.
Somean Lion: Ah, Zeuster! Verily, he is a poxed, plume-plucked malcontent! His face is false, and must hide what his false heart and mind plot.
<Character>: I'm afraid I don't quite follow you.
Somean Lion: You should be wary of what slips past his lips.
<Character>: He has lips?
Somean Lion: Perhaps my assessment of your possessing sense was overly hasty.
<Character>: Hey! I am full of sense. Sensitive, even. Has anyone ever told you that you're nothing but a big, lying bully? I see why Zeuster is so irritated.
Somean Lion: My intelligence is not so lacking that I cannot see through the lies hidden in a puffed-up coxcomb's honey-tongued prattle.
Somean Lion: Begone! You infect my eyes with your presence.
<Character>: I'm afraid I can't do that. You see, I pledged to prove myself and prove myself I will.
Somean Lion: Then you surely are as beef-witted a hedge-pig as your poisonous patron.
Somean Lion: A poor, mindless <Class> sneaking home to display the fruits of puny efforts in the hope of a crumb of praise!
<Character>: That's it! When I'm through with you there won't be enough scraps of hide left to make a cape!
Battle Somean Lion
<Character>: Y'know, I think there IS enough to make a cape, after all.
There are healing mushrooms surrounded by three rocks with ruins on them in the middle of the quest.
This entire chain is based on the Labors of Hercules, and this is the 1st - The Nemean Lion.

I saw the blockbuster Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum. The dresses were magnificent, spectacularly crafted, creative and full of imagination. I found the dresses were evocative of myth and fairytale with secrets and stories to tell.
This dress had a bodice of scarlet red glass shards and a skirt of blood red Ostrich feathers shading into black. Imagine it on Fire sprite, dancing, wildly on a stage in a dark and smoky room. She is completely one with the music, on fire with the passionate beat...uninhibited and free.

PTI leader & MPA Imran Ali Shah is all over the Pakistani news ever since a video of him assaulting a man on the street went viral.
Naya Pakistan in the making by newly selected PTI MPA from Karachi Dr Imran Ali Shah. Tabdeeli aa gaee hai pic.twitter.com/EWB9ssE7x2
— Murtaza Ali Shah (@MurtazaViews) August 14, 2018
The incident took place on Stadium Road, Karachi. In the video, Imran Ali Shah can be seen slapping a man in a blue shirt repeatedly. The video went viral on social media, getting thousands of views.
There was a great amount of public outrage. A common man was being assaulted by a Government Official, along with two of his guards. The lack of accountability was not just surprising- it was downright astonishing. The son of the person who was assaulted posted on Facebook, putting forward his thoughts on the matter.

The text says the following:
This man standing next to me is My father and is the Senior Additional Director of Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. My first question to all of you in this country. What if he was your father? What have you done? Secondly, My father is an old friend of Mr. Firdous Shamim Naqvi and Mr Najeeb Haroon, they both know the credibility of this man. He is one of the most honest and dedicated officer in his department. What if he was not the friend of Firdous Shamim saab and Najeeb Haroon saab(Jinki may dill say izzat krta hun) and because of these two people he entered our house and we gave him the opportunity to apologise. What if my father was an unknown man, would Dr Imran have still came? With whose reference? We are a simple peace loving professional aviators. We still believe on the true acts as a Muslim and that is what my showed as a person came to our home and apologised and My father accepted the apology. But if you were the son of this man, would you accept the apology? If it was US or UK where would have been the state? Just answer me how should I make my heart understand? If my father got bumped into an other car and that man and my father exchanged some words, did My father slapped that person? No he didnt. I dont need any social media publicity my God knows that, Ive been privileged enough to have one being and active member of this society. My only question is where is state? Neither we have any personal grudge with Dr Imran nor with PTI. My father has said this on media that we thank Mr Imran Ismail, Mr Najeeb Haroon and Mr Firdous Shahmim Naqvi. I am saying this should not be related with the act of complete PTI. Because my father is himself been a fan of Imran Khan. But again, what if it was happened with your father, what would have been your status? WHERE IS STATE. How should I make my heart feel relax.
It is clear that Imran Ali Shah saw this post. The next thing we knew, he’d showed up at the man’s (Dawood) house and met him to apologize.
It was a good step by the politician. | <urn:uuid:dd3db84e-cff8-4061-85b3-e5dba367b562> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.parhlo.com/imran-ali-shah-went-to-visit-the-man-he-assaulted-and-this-is-what-happened/ | 2021-08-02T11:12:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154320.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20210802110046-20210802140046-00225.warc.gz | en | 0.977712 | 709 |

We had us a small demo in Bessbrook last Saturday. Turned out to be small in many ways. But let’s say we were saved by the torrential downpour. I cannot remember ever getting so wet in such a short time. 3 minutes from dry to soaking to the skin. I don’t think I’d be wetter if I had jumped into a pool.
Nevertheless a few flights were had, toffees dropped and a few ooooh’s and aaahhh’s extracted from the public.
.. broken Birdy..
Oh, and flying on the back side of a large windmill is quite exiting with a small Spinning Birdy or Blaster. Talk about artificial turbulence! Sadly, the Spinning Birdy desintegrated in what I thought would be my highest throw! An almighty skrunch, and I got the feeling that all I had left in my hand was a wing. After the parts came down to earth, it became clear that the centrifugal forces of my throw had been enough to sever nose from center from tail.. Reconstructive surgery can be applied, but not today.. | <urn:uuid:27a37c7d-5498-4fcb-b4b5-bd4d042b5a64> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.banbridgeaeromodellingclub.org.uk/wp/2010/09/ | 2021-01-24T22:27:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703557462.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210124204052-20210124234052-00294.warc.gz | en | 0.980682 | 241 |

What is New at the Market
Changes are always happening here at CSA Farmers Market. Sometimes we get so darned busy that we cannot keep everyone updated.
Last week I attended the “Better Process Control” school in Lansing. It is a required schooling if we are ever to move beyond freezing and dehydrating and into canning some of the produce that we grow.
We had some electrical work done at White Pine Farm where the center of CSA Farmers Market is located. We now have enough power to hook up and operate a walk-in freezer. We anticipate a new freezer repairman and installer to stop by any day and give us some suggestions about the repair of the existing freezer or if it is not repairable we may have to purchase a new or nearly new one.
Rochester’s Out Doors Farmers Market is closed, where we have been attending this summer, although they are having an indoor market in the fire station. We have not committed to attending that market, possibly in the future we may, but for right now since it has been a challenging growing year we need a break.
Racheal our creative cook has had a family emergency that has required her to focus on other things and I have been trying to fill her shoes and pick up where she left off. We have some other creative cooks that may become involved and help us make new products in our licensed kitchen.
We have had many local customers in the North Branch and surrounding areas that would like us to have a little store front on the farm, so we have been exploring that and plan in the near future to have that happen.
Green Earth Grocery is permanently closing soon, rather than to have customers that enjoyed what Green Earth had to offer some of the employees from Green Earth will be helping with a booth starting in January at the indoor Davison Farmers Market. Products there would include local organic that CSA Farmers Market has as well as many of the unique items Green Earth used to carry.

I am beyond thrilled to find these wine bottles! My dear mother who passed away last January worked at the LaSalle Winery in Farmington, Mi, in the 1940s. She often spoke of working there where there was always an open bottle of wine in the ladies room for sampling if you wished. This will be an awesome birthday gift for my sister this month! Thank you, and I’m also glad to help you attain your goal for the walk-in Freezer! Tamara Meier
Yumm! Tomato Soup Powder Mix was good. Louis Kasl
We are so pleased with the splendid variety and fine quality of the food you offer. A minimum of 80% of the food we consume comes from this CSA. The percentage goes down a bit in the winter, but our meat/poultry/fish supply lasts through the winter. So does our supply of shallots, which hold well. Last year, we continued to order your apples all through the winter for eating freshly sliced, for apple crisps, and for luscious apple pie omelets. Thanks to all the farmers.

We LOVE suggestions and feed back!
Feedback helps us to improve! We need to hear the good “warm fuzzy” feedback, BUT we also need to hear the: "Hey what’s up with this?” kind of feedback. One customer pointed out to us that some of our tomatoes were not as flavorful as they had been in past years. The weather plays its part in how tasty the tomatoes are and also the way we handle them contributes. As a result of the feedback we no longer allow the tomatoes in the cooler and we now pack them separately in the morning.
Thanks for the feedback, it helps us and you! | <urn:uuid:ce06d737-846b-4d7a-b381-030558507995> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://csafarmersmarket.locallygrown.net/weblog/view/32617 | 2018-01-19T11:31:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887973.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119105358-20180119125358-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.967394 | 1,001 |

(originally published in the Red River Review)
We heard the air, blowing in and out of the throats
of the bullfrogs. It made a noise like cool flesh,
like slapping, like the sounds you make when you’re
wallowing in the tub. The croaking kept us awake
all night, and in the morning we saw the happy
pairs, hundreds and hundreds of squat pebbly bodies,
each one on top hugging the one below, bulging
jeweled eyes staring at nothing. The mating continued
all day and night, never stopping. The gelatin chains
draped the water-weed, black dots like peppercorns,
seasoning the salad. The frogs seemed to love
each other, as much as we do when we hug.
They couldn’t read or write, but their eyes held blame.
We were blamed for having failed at our lives,
for having fled the scene, for not caring enough
to stand up and force air from our throats,
and make our few needs known to the world.
A few days later the tadpoles followed, squiggling
through the water, fat, helpless, smooth the way
your skin is smooth where it touches mine.
Still their mothers and fathers kept at it. The pairs,
each holding another, staring at me from the dark pond,
webbed feet flailing to keep each body steady for as long
as the feeling lasts. It may last forever, they don’t seem
to care whether they’re hungry or thirsty and neither do we. | <urn:uuid:5f1fc12d-a6be-4558-91dc-84cf01053d1c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://kimberlytownsendpalmer.com/tag/amphibian/ | 2022-01-29T05:28:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299927.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129032406-20220129062406-00689.warc.gz | en | 0.937049 | 345 |

I have no idea what the Cowboys are doing
By Dan Graziano
The one thing I'll say is I thought the Dallas Cowboys had to make this just about a defense-only draft, and so far they have. They have made four picks, all have been defensive players, and they just wrapped up the fourth round by taking strong safety Matt Johnson from Eastern Washington. I'd love to tell you something interesting about Johnson, but I just don't have anything. Our Scouts Inc. rating service ranked him the No. 72 safety available in this year's draft, and his scouting report page on our site is blank. I found him on Draft Scout, which ranked him the No. 16 strong safety in this draft and says he's been rising on boards this spring. Kid ran a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash at his pro day, which I'm sure opened some eyes. He's 6-foot-1, 212 and made the Big Sky's preseason all-conference team. He was a very productive college player, with 17 interceptions in his career.
So I don't know. The Cowboys have scouts and they have coaches and those guys know what kinds of players they like and look for. There's no reason to take a guy in the fifth round that everybody else likes if you find something you like about a guy much further down the list. Perhaps Rob Ryan sees something in Johnson that he believes will ultimately make an impact.
My issue is that the Cowboys have drafted three straight head-scratchers. Tyrone Crawford, Kyle Wilber and now Johnson are all guys who appear to be long-range projects if not (in Johnson's case) outright fliers. And they used their first-round and second-round picks on one player, albeit the best defensive player in the draft in cornerback Morris Claiborne. For a team that had as many needs at as many positions as the Cowboys did going into the draft, I'm just not sure they've done anything since early Thursday night to make their 2012 team better. We may look a few years down the road here and say they built a monster championship defense with their quirky picks in this year's draft, but in the instant-analysis period, it's hard to understand what they're up to. | <urn:uuid:9eaa0dbf-c30c-411c-b3b1-b0b42dc47559> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/print?id=57943 | 2014-11-24T09:35:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400380574.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123300-00008-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985694 | 469 |

It is often argued that most Western countries have attained gender equality in that men and women typically have equal legal rights, and that discrimination based on gender grounds is illegal. The gender equality war is yet to be won although, significant progress has been made. The Women in Business Report made in 2018 revealed 12 percent rise is women holding senior position globally form 66 percent to 78 percent between 2017 and 2018 (International Finance Corporation, 2019). Social and cultural barriers, such as limited access to education, were some of the reasons why women were denied employment opportunities. Feminists argue that gender equality does not mean that men and women are identical since there are biological differences that define them. Nevertheless, equality is seeing women and men as of equal value and status. People should be judged on merit but not treated as inferior or superior on the basis of gender. Unfortunately, gender prejudice still exists and sometimes people are not aware of the bias they have on others just because they are of a different sexuality. Laws on equal rights are not enough since inequality exists on people’s minds (Marinova, Plantenga, and Remery, 2016). Existing literature bears insufficient evidence on gender diversity in corporate ladder including senior management positions. However, getting attaining the high positions is dependent on resources and opportunities that women acquired earlier in their career. Consequently, it is important to understand how gender diversity improves performance and whether companies adopting the strategy have better outcomes. Gender balance and diversity and its influence on international business is an issue that has been has making headlines over the years due to its effect on the day to day organizational performance and policy implementation.
The current business world has for a long time been debating on the issue of gender balance and diversity on organizational outcomes. Practising business leaders are aware of gender balance concerns and their importance to business success. Still, same leaders find it difficult to practice gender diversity or come up with ways for promoting it. Gender diversity is not only linked to business success but also serves as a channel for connecting businesses with clients, promoting leadership development, improving decision making, and enabling both sexes to realize professional and personal growth (Jeocks, Pull, and Vetter, 2013). Some scholars and researchers argue that gender diversity is an important tool for promoting innovative ideas in an organization while others believe that it is harmful to company outcomes.
Available research on gender balance and diversity and its influence on business is often looked it within a single industry or a country. Consequently, conflicting results are realized due to differences in contexts. For instance, people in a particular industry or region may have conflicting opinions of gender balance and whether diversity affects business outcomes or not. Existing scholarly literature is either too shallow or is not harmonized enough to provide a comprehensive picture of the implications of gender diversity in the international context. Therefore, the present paper attempts to review existing literature and theoretical suppositions with the view of determining how gender diversity influences international organizations. It will also seek to provide actionable recommendations that can be used by managers to improve performance and sustainability in the respective firms.
The connection between international businesses’ growth and gender balance and diversity has been a research subject for decades. Balanced teams are not only good for business growth but also have an impact on a country’s economy. Organizations are able to acquire a pool of knowledge and skills that enable them gain a competitive advantage. In addition, economies that foster women empowerment grow faster (Shukeri, Shin, and Shaari, 2012). Past literature compiled by previous researchers has been a source of reference for managers during the hiring process claiming that it offers an insight on what they are required to do. While some scholars argue that gender diversity has a positive impact on organizational growth, others insist that the opposite could be true. Consequently, private sectors depend on previous experiences when promoting gender diversity as a corporate growth strategy.
Some studies suggest that countries around the globe will increase their GDP if they promote gender diversity and balance. However, for this to happen there have to be policies that necessitate gender equality and inclusion in all sectors. Although countries use different policies, there are universal features such as education and equal rights that should be put into consideration. Despite the existence of various government policies that strive to foster gender diversity in the job market and encourage women to join the work forces, it is quite evident that most them are not put into practice (Mulinge, 2019). It could partly be due to lack of seriousness of the issue in the private sector that lack knowledge on how a balanced team shape business outcomes.
Broadly, available literature has narrowed down the research of examining the relationship between international business success and gender balance and diversity to cover specific countries or industries. However, an extensive research is important for revealing importance of gender diversity to the world and its impact on economy. Across the globe, it is evident that gender diversity has a positive influence on management and that promotion of equality results to better yields rather than being dependent on a single gender (International Labour Organization, n.d.). Gender discrimination on access to education would mean that a diverse human capital would not be nurtured (Wu and Cheng, 2016). In majority of African countries, inconsistencies in labour force levels are experienced due to the perception that women should be burdened with house work. Conventionally, women are required to perform most of the work at home irrespective of partner that is better positioned to execute the task (Hoogendoom, Oosterbeek, and van Praag, 2013).
Turban and Zhang (2019) conducted a study in 1069 major firms across 35 States operating in 24 industries that revealed gender diversity results to higher productivity. The study measured revenue and market revenue only in the situations where gender balance and diversity were an acceptable norm. The study revealed 10% increase in gender diversity leads to 7% increase in market value.
Interestingly, countries with normative acceptance of women employment see positive effects compared to those with regulatory support. Although the two are related, some nations have strong cultural support but lack the legal structures for enforcement. In other states, the legal structures are well established but culture does not embrace the working woman (Dezso and Ross, 2012). Consequently, some countries may not benefit from equal rights laws compared to others. The main reasons for embracing diversity include:
A survey conducted by Glass door with 1000 respondents evaluating workforce diversity revealed that 67% of job seekers look for a diverse organization before taking an offer. 61% of women look for leadership diversity before deciding on working at a particular organization (Wu and Cheng, 2016). Talented people are likely to work in places where gender balance is embraced resulting to such firms doing better than their competitors.
Significant study shows that balanced teams are more likely to come up with innovative ideas. People hailing from different contexts come together bringing in unique perspectives that lead to greater creativity. In addition, diverse teams are more likely to have similar experiences with consumers which are advantageous to a company for offering better products. However, diversity should always be accompanied by psychological safety (European Institute for Gender Equality, 2016). For instance, if women are not valued equally, they may hesitate to bring their ideas on the table.
Investors are more likely to get a signal for competent management if an organization is gender diverse. Sociological market research suggests that investors are attracted to firms that Gender equality is among the acceptable best practices. (Ruiz-Cantero, Ronda, and Alvarez-Dardet, 2007). There is always a positive feedback that companies supporting gender equality and diversity will capture benefits and outdo competitors.
Research Aims and Objectives
Conflicting opinions regarding gender diversity are steered by lack of quality data for proving evidence. For the purpose of this research, a review of literature will provide insights into the effects of gender diversity on organizational performance. Specifically, data will be derived from studies conducted on different international firms in the retail industry. The preferred publications should contain statistical information regarding firms’ performance with and without gender diversity. The sources should also not be more than five years old. The average size of the firm will be represented by the number of employees as well as the profit and sales margins. The research will also consider production capacity and average returns. Employees’ composition, including skilled and unskilled workers, executives, administrative staff, and specialists will also be considered. Under each category of employees, the average composition of female workers will be used as a measure of gender distribution.
Key informants are important for this research since they have adequate experience on gender issues and employment. For the purpose of this study, 15 to 20 people with firsthand knowledge on topic will be interviewed. The interview will not be formal but rather be similar to conversation between friends to allow free sharing of information. Key informants will be able to help in analyzing qualitative and quantitative findings and also have a big picture of the situation.
In addition, questionnaires containing a series of questions directed to the respondents will also be used. Questionnaires are advantageous since they offer a wide range of information in simplified responses. Some of the questions will be printed out and issued to interviewees while others will be emailed.
After data collection, analysis is important to determine the changes that companies experience after embracing gender equality. Additionally, analysis will give clear details on the need for gender equality in different industries. Data validation will also be conducted to determine whether the information collected matches the set standards and is not biased. A random sample will therefore be picked and analyzed. Data editing is also significant in this research to ensure that there are zero errors. Some of these errors are present in cases where some questions are left empty. Quantitative data analysis methods including descriptive statistics such as mean, mode, median, percentages and range will be used. These methods are important since they give absolute numbers although they do give reasons behind the numbers. For instance, percentages are critical since they will offer gender distribution of the interviewees. Various qualitative data analysis methods will also be employed such as content analysis which is important for document information especially in literature review also it will also be used for key informants and questionnaire responds. Narrative analysis will be used for evaluating experiences offered key informants for each question.
Ethical considerations are important for this research as they encourage accountability, trust and mutual respect between the researchers and respondents. It important to consider the issues related to data sharing, copyrights and confidentiality. For the purpose of this research, informed consent and voluntary participation will be considered. The respondents will b fully informed on research procedures and potential risks so that they participate at freewill. Ethical standards will also consider subjects anonymity and confidentiality.
Modernization and economic development have influenced peoples’ lives in the past century. The 20th century generation has observed withering in gender inequalities due to women contribution in education systems and labour force. However, gender gap is still witnessed through sex discrimination in employment opportunities in many organizations. Female employees in most organizations are offered opportunities in areas such as finance, public relations, or personnel that rarely reach to the top levels while men lead the top performing and powerful posts. Consequently, studies and advocacy towards gender equality and diversity in workplaces has received attention in business management and economic studies. Offering unequal benefits based on gender to persons working on the same level leads to workplace hostility resulting to high turnover. In most cases, male supervisors create obstacles that deny promotions to women. An equalized and gender diverse organization creates a professional image and guarantees career growth to both male and female employees. Accordingly, worker efficiency is improved and they are motivated leading to innovative ideas, talent promotion and overall productivity and success of businesses.

Optimisation of existing energy systems
POWER CUT – black out – storm – grid overload
How the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) recently asserted “A large power grid is the most complex existing artificial mechanism and, although the public in economically developed nations generally expects the electricity supply never to be interrupted, there is unfortunately no sturdy and reliable power network”.
According to analysts, the facilities that people most need in the event of a power cut are health care, public buildings and petrol stations. Therefore, the question of how a petrol station, in the event of a power cut, can be kept operational (lighting, communication for the management and pricing) must be answered.
*European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity
The patented MEBREX System/Technology
“Shotgun method” add on function developed and patented by MEBREX
Mebrex has thought about how an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can be implemented cheaply in terms of efficiency (CO 2 costs and marketing aspects (environmentally friendly image).
(* Development by Dr. Schacht (Mitgründer) 2009 - 2013 an der TU-Graz)
MEBREX presents four possible solutions that are subsequently commented upon and evaluated.
An autonomous power supply can be attained by means of a generator. This generator must, however, be dimensioned in such a way as to be able to supply the required power at any time, preferably instantly, and automatically.
Fuel supply is available
High costs due to necessary over-dimensioning and black start capability
Currently and in the future not the best solution in terms of image and CO2 avoidance.
A battery bank, which is continuously charged in case of a power cut. This method is common in IT and on servers, where mostly only short power interruptions need to be avoided.
Tried and tested technology, at least during short blackouts or for small performance demands.
Is seen as environmentally friendly due to being a CO2 free solution.
High battery cost. Not having a fallback feature, it must be set up for the worst case scenario.
Renewable forms of energy production supply a by far better image. The available space on the flat roof above the petrol pump would appear to be an ideal place for the installation of solar collectors.
A very good solution for a green image due to its use of renewable energy.
The available space for the solar modules would not be sufficient for the required demands. In order to serve as an emergency power supply, a battery such as in solution 2 would be needed.
Solution 4 - The MEBREX Solution
Best solution for a green image through the use of renewable energy (what is possible, not only what is necessary)
A clear and palpable solution
Minimal installation costs via smaller components
Scalable for diverse application sizes
CO2 free during short power failures
During long power failures the generator runs to the minimum required (Automatic Start/Stop)
Fuel supply is already available
Use of low CO2 fuels (E.fuels) in development
For the Time being, a functional demostration of the installation is carried out for a lower scale (performance) | <urn:uuid:bb4c699e-0636-4725-a2b6-a5ebfa205b00> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.mebrex.eu/en_GB/optimierung-von-bestehenden-energiesystemen | 2023-02-01T17:00:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499946.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20230201144459-20230201174459-00830.warc.gz | en | 0.917006 | 713 |
Greetings from South Lake Tahoe
WOW! What a holiday season it has been. We’ve all made it through safely, opened the new year with some freshies, and we’re already at the big MLK weekend! There’s going to be a lot going on up here this weekend, and you don’t want to miss out, so here is what’s going at the Resorts found on the South Shore.
Heavenly: Safety week is kicking off with a bang at Heavenly this week. There will be a ski/ride safety convention going on at the top of the gondola, run by Barton Memorial Hospital. Heavenly Sports is offering an added discount on all safety apparel, so if you need a helmet, now is the time to get one! Heavenly is also doing a safety scavenger hunt all week from the 15th till the 21st. Scavenger Hunt cards can be found at all on-mountain lodges, and any Heavenly employee wearing a bright orange cap will help you with your scavenger hunt as long as you can answer safety questions about the skier’s code. They will be giving out prizes, so study the code! And finally, there will be the Riperoo Parade starting on Friday at the Heavenly Village.
Kirkwood: The UC Band will be riding all weekend at the wood, so keep an eye, and an ear, open for them. Kirkwood is offering their avalanche class this weekend, the AIARE Level 1 course, which will teach one how to survive in avalanche situations, a must for any and all backcountry riders! The Kingtones will be playing at Bub’s all day, providing the perfect bar break atmosphere for a mid day stop. And to finish the day, Kirkwood is also offering their full moon snowshoe hike from 6p-10p. Snowshoes can be rented at Kirkwood, and reservations are required.
Sierra: Sierra has the Cal Big Band visiting, so there will be some encouraging tunes to psych you up for the slopes! Safety week is also beginning at Sierra this week, and the people of NSAA (the National Ski Area Assoc.) will be on site to help with all ski and ride safety tips. Blizzard Mountain, Sierra’s snow park has sack races, obstacle courses, and snowman building competitions set up for all those non-riders and little groms. Races will be offered on the slopes, The Bay Area Ski Buss Race will start with practice from 10a-11a, races from 11a-1p, and awards will be given out at 2p. The races are open to all and free, so sign up and see what you got! And for those water breaks, the Cash Only Band will be rockin’ the Pub all day, grab a drink and enjoy!
That should be a good start to keeping you all entertained this weekend, just don’t forget to check out the playlists at the casinos. There are some big names in town, Snoop Dogg is playing at Mont Bleu, and for the more laid back crowd, Rebelution will be playing at Mont Bleu Sunday night. Have fun, be safe, and think Ski Butlers!

Francis Alÿs – Guards, 2004
Single channel video (colour, sound, 27’26”), printed papers, drawings and 64 tin soldiers
Produced with Rafael Ortega and Artangel, supported by Outset

Over a span of several years, Francis Alÿs spent extensive periods of time in London, searching for a way of responding to the metropolis. He walked the streets of the city, observing its particular characteristics, listening to its sounds, reading its signs and surfaces, trying to get underneath its skin. He slowly shaped a project based on a number of different walks by different protagonists, notably the artist himself, an urban fox and a retinue of Coldstream Guards marching through the City of London.
Seven Walks (2004-2005) was commissioned by Artangel, and first presented in a sequence of rooms over two floors of a neo-classical building on Portman Square and in the National Portrait Gallery in central London. Paintings, drawings, maps, and notes made by Alÿs during his periods in London were brought together with a number of videos including the 30-minute work Guards, looped sequences of Alÿs playing on the metal railings of London streets with a drumstick and The Nightwatch, which tracks the furtive movements of a fox through the galleries of the National Portrait Gallery at night.
The walks were for the most part enacted in parts of the city where its wealth and history are particularly conspicuous – the City of London, the National Portrait Gallery, Hyde Park, and some of its most grand neo-classical squares. Three of the walks – Guards, The Nightwatch and Railings – were made with Alÿs’s long-term collaborator Rafael Ortega.
For Guards, the artist passed on instructions to a troop of 64 Coldstream Guards to take one of many pre-planned routes through the city.
When one soldier met another, they were to march together until they met another soldier or group. At the point when the entire troop was in formation, they marched to the nearest bridge and then dispersed, breaking from anonymous military mass to individual agents.
A selection of Francis Alÿs films is presented on the artist’s website. Click through to see more classics such as The Modern Procession, When Faith Moves Mountains or Paradox of Praxis.

Edmund Gunter (1581 – 10 December 1626), was an English clergyman, mathematician, geometer and astronomer of Welsh descent. He is best remembered for his mathematical contributions which include the invention of the Gunter's chain, the Gunter's quadrant, and the Gunter's scale. In 1620, he invented the first successful analogue device which he developed to calculate logarithmic tangents.
Gunter was born in Hertfordshire in 1581. He was educated at Westminster School, and in 1599 he matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford. He took orders, became a preacher in 1614, and in 1615 proceeded to the degree of bachelor in divinity. He became rector of St. George's Church in Southwark.
Mathematics, particularly the relationship between mathematics and the real world, was the one overriding interest throughout his life. In 1619, Sir Henry Savile put up money to fund Oxford University's first two science faculties, the chairs of astronomy and geometry. Gunter applied to become professor of geometry but Savile was famous for distrusting clever people, and Gunter's behaviour annoyed him intensely. As was his habit, Gunter arrived with his sector and quadrant, and began demonstrating how they could be used to calculate the position of stars or the distance of churches, until Savile could stand it no longer. "Doe you call this reading of Geometric?" he burst out. "This is mere showing of tricks, man!" and, according to a contemporary account, "dismissed him with scorne."
He was shortly thereafter championed by the far wealthier Earl of Bridgewater, who saw to it that on 6 March 1619 Gunter was appointed professor of astronomy in Gresham College, London. This post he held till his death.
With Gunter's name are associated several useful inventions, descriptions of which are given in his treatises on the sector, cross-staff, bow, quadrant and other instruments. He contrived his sector about the year 1606, and wrote a description of it in Latin, but it was more than sixteen years afterwards before he allowed the book to appear in English. In 1620 he published his Canon triangulorum.[a]
In 1624 Gunter published a collection of his mathematical works. It was entitled The description and use of sector, the cross-staffe, and other instruments for such as are studious of mathematical practise. One of the most remarkable things about this book is that it was written, and published, in English not Latin. "I am at the last contented that it should come forth in English," he wrote resignedly, "Not that I think it worthy either of my labour or the publique view, but to satisfy their importunity who not understand the Latin yet were at the charge to buy the instrument." It was a manual not for cloistered university fellows but for sailors and surveyors in real world.
There is reason to believe that Gunter was the first to discover (in 1622 or 1625) that the magnetic needle does not retain the same declination in the same place at all times. By desire of James I he published in 1624 The Description and Use of His Majesties Dials in Whitehall Garden, the only one of his works which has not been reprinted. He coined the terms cosine and cotangent, and he suggested to Henry Briggs, his friend and colleague, the use of the arithmetical complement (see Briggs Arithmetica Logarithmica, cap. xv). His practical inventions are briefly noted below:
Gunter's interest in geometry led him to develop a method of land surveying using triangulation. Linear measurements could be taken between topographical features such as corners of a field, and using triangulation the field or other area could be plotted on a plane, and its area calculated. A chain 66 feet (20 m) long, with intermediate measurements indicated, was chosen for the purpose, and is called Gunter's chain.
The length of the chain chosen, 66 feet (20 m), being called a chain gives a unit easily converted to area. Therefore, a parcel of 10 square chains gives 1 acre. The area of any parcel measured in chains will thereby be easily calculated.
Gunter's quadrant is an instrument made of wood, brass or other substance, containing a kind of stereographic projection of the sphere on the plane of the equinoctial, the eye being supposed to be placed in one of the poles, so that the tropic, ecliptic, and horizon form the arcs of circles, but the hour circles are other curves, drawn by means of several altitudes of the sun for some particular latitude every year. This instrument is used to find the hour of the day, the sun's azimuth, etc., and other common problems of the sphere or globe, and also to take the altitude of an object in degrees.
A rare Gunter quadrant, made by Henry Sutton and dated 1657, can be described as follows: It is a conveniently sized and high-performance instrument that has two pin-hole sights, and the plumb line is inserted at the vertex. The front side is designed as a Gunter quadrant and the rear side as a trigonometric quadrant. The side with the astrolabe has hour lines, a calendar, zodiacs, star positions, astrolabe projections, and a vertical dial. The side with the geometric quadrants features several trigonometric functions, rules, a shadow quadrant, and the chorden line.
Gunter's scale or Gunter's rule, generally called the "Gunter" by seamen, is a large plane scale, usually 2 feet (610 mm) long by about 1½ inches broad (40 mm), engraved with various scales, or lines. On one side are placed the natural lines (as the line of chords, the line of sines, tangents, rhumbs, etc.), and on the other side the corresponding artificial or logarithmic ones. By means of this instrument questions in navigation, trigonometry, etc., are solved with the aid of a pair of compasses. It is a predecessor of the slide rule, a calculating aid used from the 17th century until the 1970s.
Gunter's line, or line of numbers refers to the logarithmically divided scale, like the most common scales used on slide rules for multiplication and division.
A sail rig which resembles a gaff rig, with the gaff nearly vertical, is called a Gunter rig, or "sliding gunter" from its resemblance to a Gunter's rule.

A footballing nation on the rise, Panama is no longer just known for its canal and a sporting penchant for baseball. With more investment in the beautiful game and an increasingly impressive infrastructure, Panama is becoming football mad with the best of them and producing a golden generation of talent. Canada 2007 will be the country's third consecutive (and third overall) trip to the youth showpiece event. And led by arguably the country's greatest ever player in head coach Julio Dely Valdes, the Canaleros will be keen to make this summer's outing their best yet. In truth, earning a point would do the trick as they have finished their last two world youth finals with zero points to show for their efforts.
As hosts of CONCACAF Group A qualifying, the Panamanians hit the ground running, knowing they would have to rack up some fast points with up-and-coming Guatemala and superpowers the United States to contend with. Up first for the red-clad hosts was Guatemala - led by coach Rodrigo Kenton and expecting much. After going down to a horrific own goal from Luis Ovalle, the hosts dug deep and earned a credible point (1-1) thanks to a goal from Nelson Barahona. In their next match with a rapidly improving Haitian outfit, the Panamanians showed their grit and ground out a 3-2 result thanks in large part to a two-goal day from Josue Jafeth Brown. Their 5-0 loss to the States in their final match mattered little as both sides had qualified for Canada before a ball had been kicked - due to Guatemala's loss of composure and 2-0 defeat to Haiti in their final match earlier in the day.
Julio Dely Valdes is a name that ranks in Panama up along Roberto Duran and Manuel Noriega for its recognisable nature. One of only a handful of Panamanian players to go abroad, Julio - twin brother of Jorge - hit out for well-known shores as a player and is considered widely to be the nation's best-ever footballer. Beginning his professional playing career in Argentina with Deportivo Paraguayo, he moved on to Uruguay and Nacional before setting sail for Europe, where he had stints in Italy with Cagliari, France with PSG and Spain with Real Oviedo and Malaga. In a latest moment of glory, Julio and his brother brought Panama to within seconds of winning a CONCACAF Gold Cup. Losing out on penalties to the wildly favoured host Americans in 2005, Panama's improvement in reaching their first regional final was on display for all to see. Canada 2007 will be Julio's first major global tournament as a coach, but his playing experience and knowledge of the game are sure to keep him in good stead.
Josue Jafeth Brown of domestic club side Atletico Veraguense is a speedy and imaginative striker with physical strength and a killer nose for goal. He was crucial in the Central Americans' run to Canada 2007 with a pair of well-taken goals, including in the winner, in the qualifying win over Haiti (3-2). He also started all three qualifying matches in Panama in January of 2007. After a 0-5 loss to the Americans in their final contest, it was ultimately his attacking orchestrations that booked Panama their pace at a third consecutive FIFA U-20 finals. In Canada, it may well come down to the forward to get the Canaleros their first point at a youth showpiece. Surely the 19 year old will be up to the task. - and maybe gunning for more

A novel method for grain refinement of martensite structures was proposed, in which transformation strain is accumulated by cyclic displacive forward and reverse transformations. This method can refine martensite structures in an Fe-18Ni alloy because a high density of austenite dislocations is introduced by a displacive reverse transformation in addition to an inheritance of dislocations in body-centered cubic martensite into austenite during cyclic transformation. The addition of a small amount of carbon accelerates structure refinement significantly, which results in the formation of ultra-fine-grained structures after ten cycles.

Hermès is making laundry day a fashionable chore. In celebration of the 80th anniversary of its iconic silk scarves, the French heritage brand has launched a series of laundromat-themed pop-up shops, aptly named Hermèsmatic. The multiple city tour concept that’s making its way to Dubai in April plays host to a free service that allows visitors to bring in their beloved scarves and have them updated in vibrant rinses such as denim blue and fuchsia pink. After a 48-hour drying time, customers can pick up their revamped silk squares from the temporary space that’s lined with retro washing machines, waiting chairs, and detergent boxes stamped with the brand’s moniker. In a rush? A selection of vintage scarves will also be on sale, featuring the brand’s archival prints and dip-dyed in nine different shades at the Hermès workshops in Lyon. | <urn:uuid:cd1a8610-ef19-43e9-ae6d-5d836ad4f6d9> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://en.vogue.me/fashion/hermes-scarf-pop-up-shop-dubai/ | 2017-06-29T07:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323889.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629070237-20170629090237-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.939753 | 191 |
Thor’s Well is situated close Spouting Horn at Cook’s Chasm in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area close Yachats. It can be seen by taking this Captains Cooks Trailhead from the Visitors Centers where it is situated on the rough shelf just norths of Cook’s Chasm. At the point when tides are correct, water surges upward from the bowl cut out of the basalt shoreline and after that drains once more into the opening. Numerous photographers attempting to catch the activity report that it is so dangerous to endeavor to draw near to the spouting horn when it’s dynamic, so if you visit, be cautious and stay away. It can be seen safely from the roadway perspective at Cook’s Chasms or lower the viewpoints along the cleared trail.
Thor’s Well is a piece of Cape Perpetua (a forested headland that extends out into the Pacific Ocean) a piece of Oregon’s coast (United States of America).
Thor’s Well releases jets of water which are drawn into the air using the energy of the sea tide and waves. It is a prominent spot for taking photos – however, it is extremely risky especially at high tide and in a winter time.
It’s a truly fantastic piece of the nation to investigate and with places like Thor’s Well covered up on display; you’ll never come up short on things to take a gander at. Thor’s Well is a ridiculously unimaginable and wondrous gap in the sea that looks like it is straight out of a comic book.
So you can see what we’re discussing when we say ridiculously extraordinary and wondrous. The salt water characteristic wellspring is off the coast of Cape Perpetua in Oregon and has turned into a prevalent spot for photograph ops.
While Thor’s Well is an excite seeking picture taker’s fantasy, it can be inconceivably dangerous. Most say it truly is taking care of business amid a winters storms or high tide, but on the other hand that is the point of which it’s nearly the most unusual. One picture taker, Darren White, tells Roadtrippers.com, “The huge waves come in as you see out there, they fill the gap with water and whoosh, it flies all out of there… few out of every odd wave does this, it’s the matters of timings and waves size. I want to guess this gap is around 20 feet profound and any individual who was to fall in could never at any point survive.”
Also knowns as the drainpipes of the Pacific, the well is a gap in the stone that lone appears to empty the water out of the sea. Truly the enormous gap is likely just around 20 feet profound. Regardless of the possibility that the wells are not exactly as enchantment as it looks, it still manages to deliver astonishing sights (however not for the blackout of heart!).
The sites are the most spectaculars at high tides, or amid storms when the waters washes viciously finished the rocks and the funnels into the opening. Amid these are sudden torrents, unsuspecting visitors these sites risk being swept directly into the maelstroms. Regardless of all the risks, photographers and nature lovers keep on flocking to the stunning wellspring to see the aggressive waters that satisfy their genuine namesake’s stormy personality.

That's the way to go.
So long as people keep breeding things that have no market, slaughter will keep happening.
The only thing we can do is make it just that little bit better for the horses, aka not closing nearby houses so the horses don't endure the unnecessary trip across the boarder.

The four cities vying to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024 arrived in Madrid Wednesday to begin a planned two-day workshop with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the headquarters of the Olympic Broadcasting Services.
Budapest, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome have been attending a series of workshops as part of the IOC’s revamped bid process that promotes increased interaction and collaboration between the cities and the Olympic officials. In November a similar meeting was held to discuss elements included in phase 1 of the bid documents including vision, games concept and strategy.
The agenda this week included the discussion of technical solutions for the International Broadcast Centre, Main Press Centre and Athlete and Media Villages. Led by IOC Associate Director of Olympic Candidatures Jacqueline Barrett the workshop included a question and answer session with a panel of experts.
Representing Budapest is Sándor Finta who will focus on the overall concept of Budapest 2024 including the development plan overview; Beatrix Frankfurt specializing in venues and transport and Zsombor Barta with experise in sustainability and legacy. They will be joined by experts consultants of the bid.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the L.A. contingent was led by Bid Chief Gene Sykes accompanied by USOC Chief External Affairs Officer Patrick Sandusky, Chief Bid Officer Danny Koblin, Associate Director of Athlete Relations Tamara Christopherson, Bill Hanway of the L.A.-based engineering firm AECOM and Sport Director Doug Arnot.
Balázs Fürjes, Chairman of Budapest 2024 said in a statement Thursday “Budapest 2024 is maturing into a strong contender.”
“We are confident about how we are progressing, especially in respect of our sustainability plans, which are already well developed. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic opportunity for us to glean crucial insights from a highly qualified technical team; these insights will enable us to really tighten up and hone our proposal to provide the best possible facilities for Broadcast, Media and Athletes and the best possible inheritance for the people of Budapest.
“Our delegation will be maximizing this dialogue with the IOC.”
Further workshops will be held in June to review evaluations of phase 1 submissions that were received by the IOC February 16. At that time the IOC Executive Board will confirm which candidatures are approved to move on to phase 2.
Phase 2 documents are due into the IOC October 7 and will cover the topics including governance, legal and venue funding. The phase 3 deadline is February 3, 2017 and will include topics around Games delivery, experience and venue legacy.
The winner will be declared in September 2017 after an IOC Session vote in Lima, Peru. | <urn:uuid:f8a70c78-c2b3-4e75-8917-e51dbc7f74fb> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://gamesbids.com/eng/summer-olympic-bids/2024-olympic-bid-news/2024-olympic-bid-cities-attend-ioc-workshop-in-madrid/ | 2020-08-06T19:53:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737019.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806180859-20200806210859-00416.warc.gz | en | 0.957083 | 548 |
From November 26th until December 8th 2018, FORCE Technology in Lyngby, Denmark successfully conducted wind tunnel tests on a scale model of OOS Zeelandia. The tests were carried out to measure 6-degrees of freedom wind and simulated current loads and moments with the vessel’s above and below waterline portions, with wind and simulated current coming from all defined directions.
The objectives of the wind tunnel model tests were as follows:
• To obtain wind force and moment design data for transit, operational and survival conditions – above water parts.
• To obtain current force and moment design data for transit, operational and survival conditions – below water parts.
• To find the critical heading angles where the wind and current overturning moments become maximum.
• To verify numerical and empirical predictions of wind and current forces and moments.
The model test results correlate well with the calculations and simulations carried out during the basic design phase. However they helped to better establish the margins and allowances that need to be added for the inclination effect and also determine the lift forces, that are difficult to calculate using simplified empirical models.
The correlated data will be used to design the hull to ensure compliance with the stability requirements, to assess the vessel motions, to assess station keeping capabilities, to establish the minimum thrust required for stationkeeping, to assess hull resistance and propulsion and to verify structural strength.
The wind tunnel test covers all of the vessel’s operational conditions, including transit on minimum draught, transit with 20,000 tonnes structures on deck, light (16m) medium (22m) and maximum (28m) heavy lift working draughts, damage stability with various scenarios and more. Results will permit further optimization of DP/Propulsion plant. | <urn:uuid:4e212d64-d0bd-4e0c-9a62-79c3d801a34e> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.oosinternational.com/oos-zeelandia-another-step-forward-in-design-completion/ | 2020-08-04T14:31:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735867.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804131928-20200804161928-00433.warc.gz | en | 0.927593 | 356 |
YACHT Apologize for Fake Leaked Sex Tape Marketing Ruse
Posted by Whiteboard Animators at mai 11th, 2016
This week was quite the week for synth-pop duo YACHT. First they posted a statement on their Facebook saying that a sex tape the real life couple had made together in the privacy of their own home had been stolen and leaked online. They asked their fans for empathy and understanding. It soon became clear that this was an ill-judged marketing ruse to promote their new video for the song « I Wanna Fuck You Till I’m Dead. »
The reaction from fans was swift and damning. Their publicist washed their hands of it, but the band themselves were staunch in their stance, releasing a statement on Twitter that has since been deleted, that stood by their choice. We wrote all about it here.
Today, however, they’ve changed their tune. Posting this apology on their Facebook—both a sorry for yesterday’s non-apology and the pretend sextape situation as a whole. Read the full statement below.
First off, we’re sorry.
The reaction to this endeavor highlights a glaring error we made in positioning ourselves as the victims of a leaked sex tape. We understand that positioning it that way from the beginning was an egregious mistake, and are so ashamed we hadn’t considered this beforehand.
Yes, this was all a “hoax” or “PR stunt,” and one we were so excited to share. While there is inherent deception in pulling a hoax, it was never our intention to mock or make light of anyone who has been a victim of a privacy violation like the one we mentioned. This was a lazy starting point for what we wanted to be a much more fun story about the expectations of a sex tape and the frenzy surrounding the taboo of sex, especially juxtaposed with our own non-celebrity. We failed to tell that story. Instead we told a much darker and more disturbing story.
We’ve been going back and forth on what to do about the music video this was all supposed to lead up to. We were leaning towards not releasing it at all, but we think it’s important that people be able to see and assess for themselves our intent.
We take full responsibility for what has happened, and we are truly sorry. We know we’ve broken a bond of trust with many of our fans and friends. Thank you to those that called us out and helped us to understand the gravity of the mistake we made. We should not have hinged this entire project on the fiction that we were the victims of a leaked tape, and we’re equally disappointed in ourselves for taking so long to get over being shocked at the response and write this apology.
After all is said and done, of course you should be mad at us. We’re mad at us too.
PS: We’re sorry for our shitty non-apology yesterday, too. There’s no justifying it. We clearly didn’t get it then. We get it now. | <urn:uuid:ea7ed0a3-c354-495c-b3e7-8e0b8566a6c4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://videocreation.tv/yacht-apologize-for-fake-leaked-sex-tape-marketing-ruse/ | 2019-07-17T11:19:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525136.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717101524-20190717123524-00353.warc.gz | en | 0.979741 | 650 |
18 April 2012 On the eve of a regional conference set to begin in Azerbaijan, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is warning that obesity and diet-related illnesses could emerge as major challenges for Europe and Central Asia, while hunger will only be a minor problem.
Hunger currently affects less than five per cent of the population in most of the region but remains a significant concern in large parts of the Caucasus and Central Asia, according to a report to be presented at FAO’s bi-annual Regional Conference for Europe and Central Asia.
The report predicts that the percentage of people experiencing hunger in the Caucasus and Central Asia will drop from nine to two per cent by 2030 and then to one per cent by 2050.
It also warns that as diets shift from cereals towards higher consumption of meat and dairy, the risk factors behind chronic, non-communicable diseases could rise in parts of the region.
In addition to diet, the report says that lifestyle habits, poverty and medical care also influence obesity, disease and death rates, and that these increased risk levels will place greater pressure on healthcare facilities in the poorer countries of Central Asia than in the EU.
The conference, set to begin in Baku tomorrow with government ministers and officials from 53 countries and the European Union, will also look at what agricultural policies can help boost crop production to both address food security as well as combat rural poverty.
FAO notes that, in rural areas of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, crop production by small farmers, especially for cereal, falls well below potential yields.
Another issue to be discussed at the conference is how to improve agriculture’s environmental sustainability, according to the agency, which notes that in the EU, the use of chemical fertilizers is set to grow by 20 per cent by 2050.
At the same time, agriculture in the Caucasus and Central Asian countries is making intensive use of water resources, often inefficiently. “Up to half of irrigation water is lost en route to fields because of dilapidated systems of water delivery, putting enormous stress on water supplies,” says the agency.

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason and Christian discuss such topics as: how many times a day a person should look in the mirror, the asymmetricality of Christian’s face, what Jason would be willing to do for ten million dollars, and their waiter from the previous night who looks just like Ryan Gosling if Ryan Gosling wasn’t paid to look like he was “Photoshopped.” The DXPs then throw caution to the wind and jump right into women’s sports and why they’re not as popular as men’s sports in general. If they left anyone unoffended by that conversation, they’ll get to you in the next conversation about the Supreme Court’s rulings on Obamacare and Marriage Equality. Jason is biebered by having to purchase more than one thing when he goes to the store and Christian is biebered by round toilets.
Also, if your significant other has a pimple, what is the proper etiquette? Do you ignore it or do you point at it and laugh?

SATURDAY, June 4 (HealthDay News) — As if facial wrinkles didn't have a bad enough rap, a new study suggests that the worse a woman's wrinkles are in early menopause, the lower her bone density.
That is not to say that wrinkled skin is being cited as causing poorer skeletal health, merely that the two factors are associated.
But because poor bone density can lead to broken bones, a link between wrinkles and bone density — if confirmed — might prompt development of an inexpensive way to identify postmenopausal women at highest risk for fractures, the researchers say.
"We hypothesized that because skin and bone share common tissue architecture, the physical attributes of skin in menopausal women will relate to bone density and bone quality," said study principal author Dr. Lubna Pal, a reproductive endocrinologist and associate professor at Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. "And what we found is consistent with that hypothesis."
Pal and her colleagues are slated to present their findings Monday in Boston at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting.
The authors point out that a possible relationship between bone and skin health could be rooted in the fact that the two share the same building blocks — proteins called collagens.
Age-related collagen changes, they noted, could explain both the wrinkling and sagging of skin and a simultaneous deterioration of bone quality and quantity.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, about half of all bone loss women experience in a lifetime occurs during the first decade following menopause.
For their study, the research team focused on 114 women in their late 40s and early 50s, drawn from the larger Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS). The latter study was funded by the Aurora Foundation and the Kronos Longevity Research Institute in Phoenix.
All the participants had entered menopause within the three years leading up to the study. No participants were taking hormone therapy, and none had undergone any cosmetic skin procedures.
Researchers tested skin firmness in the forehead and cheek region with a device called a durometer, and tallied the number and depth of face and neck wrinkles at 11 sites. To test bone density in different parts of the body, researchers used dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and a portable heel ultrasound device.
The results: The firmer the face and forehead, the greater the bone density; the more wrinkles, the lower the bone density. The latter relationship was consistent across various body areas, including the hip, lumbar spine and heel.
The association held up even after accounting for factors known to affect bone density, including age and body composition.
The authors noted that follow-up work over a longer period of time is needed to confirm the current findings and clarify the underlying factors driving a skin-bone link.
"This is very preliminary data," Pal cautioned. "Right now we're just at the tip of the iceberg, and we have one more year to study these women before the trial is completed. So we're hoping to make sense of these observations in a much more meaningful manner as we move ahead."
In addition, research presented at medical meetings is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
Dr. Elton Strauss, an associate professor and chief of orthopedic trauma and adult reconstruction at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, said he was surprised by the finding.
"People who have skin wrinkles usually spend a lot of time in the sun," he noted. "And that promotes the development of a lot of vitamin D, which is good for bone health. So I would have thought we might see just the opposite effect."
Much more information is needed to validate the findings, Strauss said. "This is just the beginning of something — maybe. But I don't think you can hang your hat on it," he said.
Dr. Melvin Paul Rosenwasser, a professor of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, also reacted to the study with a degree of skepticism.
"People study lots of things and look for associations," he noted. "And while it's not too far a stretch to say that wrinkles might be associated with bone loss, there are so many variables at play — like sun exposure and nutrition and so many other things — that it would be hard for me to say that this [skin] could be a valuable screening tool, unless the sensitivity and specificity of this specific relationship was high enough."
"You don't want to give people a false sense of security that wrinkles are always an indication of bone loss, or that if you don't have wrinkles you don't have bone loss, unless there is clearly a very high connection between the two," Rosenwasser added. And to determine that, a much larger study is needed, he said.

New book answers questions about going abroad to study
June 1, 2004
KALAMAZOO--A Western Michigan University staff member has written a new book that helps clear up many common questions about studying overseas.
The book, "Study Abroad 101," features 101 straightforward questions and answers covering issues that arise before students apply to a study abroad program as well as during their stay in another country and even after they return home.
Wendy Williamson, an advisor in WMU's Office of Study Abroad, penned the work, which was published by Agapy Publishing May 11.
"Study Abroad 101 is intended for current and prospective college students and serves as an excellent resource for new study abroad advisors," Williamson says. "It briefly answers common questions, then refers readers to other sources for more detailed information. It's my hope that this book will be a positive contribution to the field of international education."
Chapters in the 160-page paperback include "Narrowing Down the Options," "Planning Your Trip," "Health and Safety Concerns," "Managing Money Abroad," "Living with the Locals" and "Life After Study Abroad." A key component of the book is a list of Internet addresses for a variety of helpful sites that study abroad advisors use everyday.
Williamson, who has helped thousands of students travel overseas, completed two assignments with the Peace Corps in South America and Africa from 1994 to 1998. She has a master of arts degree in counselor education with an emphasis in administration of college student affairs from WMU and a bachelor of arts degree in communication and culture from Indiana University, Bloomington.
An earlier book of Williamson's, "Martial Arts: The Christian Way," was published by Agapy in 2002 and selected as a text book by the American College of Martial Science. The work explains how the martial arts can be intertwined to create a practical and effective form of youth ministry and evangelism.
Her new work sells for $12.95 and is available through local bookstores, including the WMU Bookstore, and online through Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. For more information, visit the Web site at <www.agapy.com/studyabroad.html>.

Double Guest Exchange
Hello, darlings! Molly here, guest blogger, with my guest scribe Bardiac.
I took pity on Bardiac today, and took her for two walks in the snow.
You know if you've walked a human in the snow that they're pitiable about it. They miss every scent worth a snootful, and they can't keep up. And Bardiac was no better than most.
To be honest, with things going the way they are in politics around here, it's practically a miracle some humans even bother coming outside. Now the governor wants to scrap recycling mandates. We've had the law since the mid-90s, longer than I've been alive. (And here you thought the things in the special bin were just "stuff not worth rooting through just in case there were scraps accidentally put in.") But this law has reduced landfill pretty significantly in our area. Alas, I've heard that certain people who own paper mills might not like having to compete with recycled paper.
Despite the beautiful snow in these pictures, our lakes and rivers may suffer from excess fertilizer run-off if Walker's proposal goes through. (We'd even be in violation of the Clean Water Act, and you know labs love clean water!) Do you think someone who owns a chemical company might have something to do with this?
Walker's already put education funding in jeopardy and attacked state workers as the "haves" in the economy, because he's pretty sure that snowplow drivers and kindergarten teachers pushed the economy into the dumps, not bankers playing unethical games with derivitives and bad loans.
I'm sure you understand why I felt it was imperitive to take Bardiac out for a walk. At one point, I saw a deer, and it was most exciting. I bounded up to alert my walking companion, pogoing in place so she'd see and be ready to give chase with me. But by the time she'd figured it out (and, dears, let's face it, humans are among the least capable creatures when it comes to figuring anything out), the deer had disappeared to be replaced by a bush. I gave chase for a bit, but the bush refused to run, and I didn't see the point in pursuing it further.
I think I tired her out a bit, anyway. It's better than that boring old grading (which, by the way, I offered to chew on a bit to help, but nooooo.)
Keep your nose to the wind and tails up, my dears! And don't forget to take your human friends out for a walk. What with all the mess some of them are making of things, they need a break! | <urn:uuid:daa11003-c83f-4084-b696-4e944275879f> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://pseudonymexchange.blogspot.com/2011/03/double-guest-exchange.html | 2015-03-27T20:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131296951.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172136-00200-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98506 | 561 |
We had no power so it seemed a good time to read a light mystery for my “mystery” category for our Reading Challenge. I picked a good one, right out of my library sale stash from a couple years ago, when it had come recommended.
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is the first in a series about Flavia de Luce as a detective. In this book, Flavia is a precocious eleven year old that is astute, curious, tenacious, and irrepressible. She takes thoughtful initiative, traveling only as far as her bike can take her. I enjoyed her as a character immensely.
The writing is at once breezy and simple, while having embellishments that make it fun. There is some unexpectedly excellent vocabulary, which a few times stopped me in my tracks. Flavia’s passion for chemistry, and her father’s for stamps, spice up the story as well. Here are some example bits:
- “Their two yellow brick annexes, pustulantly Victorian, folded back like the pinioned wings of a boneyard angle which, to my eyes, gave the tall windows and shutters of Buckshaw’s Georgian front the prim and surprised look of an old maid whose bun was too tight.”
- “Dogger began to twitch like an experimental frog whose spinal cord has been hooked up to a galvanic battery.”
- “Charles Darwin had once pointed out that the fiercest competition for survival came from one’s own tribe, and as the fifth of six children– and with three older sisters– be was obviously in a position to know what he was talking about. To me it seemed a matter of elementary chemistry. I knew that a substance tends to be dissolved by solvents that are chemically similar to it.

Thieves Rob Fall River Pet Shop, Dozens Of Fish Killed
FALL RIVER (CBS) – It was a heartbreaking site for a local pet shop owner. Dozens of fish died when thieves broke into Animal Instincts in Fall River and smashed a tank. One thief seemed especially interested in hurting innocent creatures.
It’s a family run business, specializing in exotic pets.
Bob Schenck can tell you all about any of the animals he sells. But he can’t explain why someone would want to kill dozens of fish and coral reefs.
“It doesn’t make sense,” said Schenck. “We wait on people hand and foot. We bend over backwards for every single customer.”
Pictures show the mess left behind by the four adults early Wednesday morning. Worse than the smashed front door, missing money and cash registers, one guy took a pipe to a giant fish tank.
“He actually went through the painstaking work to grab that last piece of glass and break it out so the rest of the water poured out,” explained Schenck.
As soon as he walked into the room with the tanks, Bob says he could smell something was wrong. It took about 25 people an entire day to clean up the mess made by the tank.
The lone survivor of the smashing is a fish named Big Blue.
He says the fish, “survived in this little bit of water on the left side with no gravel, just flopping around.”
Eighteen cameras are installed in the store, but police have asked the shop not to share the video. Bob says the video almost made him want to give up and close the shop. The damage was in the thousands and that was before security upgrades to windows and doors.
“The whole system has been upgraded but what a shame to have to go to this level to run a pet store,” he says.
If you have any information on who did this, you’re asked to call Fall River Police. | <urn:uuid:78b29591-757a-431b-85d3-52ce91c18318> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/02/22/thieves-rob-fall-river-pet-shop-dozens-of-fish-killed/ | 2014-10-26T00:43:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119652530.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030052-00099-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970883 | 424 |

GLOSSOP residents are locked in a row with the council after it refused to collect rubbish from their doors.
Neighbours on Blackshaw Clough, Old Glossop received letters last month saying the weekly collection was being cancelled as the road was 'unsuitable' for bin lorries.
High Peak Borough Council claimed the route could damage its new vehicle - a lorry which has not yet been used - and said it was concerned about the safety of employees.
But residents on the private road are angry at the move and are demanding a u-turn.
It is thought the same letter has been sent to farmers in the area and also to some residents in Charlesworth.
Instead of leaving bins outside their houses, residents are now required to wheel them to the main road every Friday morning.
John Wilkinson, of Blackshaw Clough, said: "I've been living here for six years and we have never had problems before.
"The road is in good condition and we often have farm vehicles and 17 tonne trucks down here. There has never been any damage to the lorry or risk to people's safety."
He added: "Because we are near the reservoir, we get an awful lot of people coming down here and a lot of vandalism.
"The rubbish is going to end up all over the place and whose responsibility will it be to clear it up then?"
"I'm upset that this was done without any consultation. They sent one letter and the service stopped about two weeks afterwards.
"I pay council tax like everyone else and this is just another service that has been taken away."
High Peak Councillor Glynis Kirk said they would be liaising with residents to find suitable positions for bins.
She added: "The collection system is already successfully in operation in numerous rural areas throughout the borough and following the introduction of the twin bin scheme, residents are receiving an increase in waste collection services." | <urn:uuid:d1598c51-bcec-431e-9b2d-714e92bc0110> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/rough-roads-bin-row-1046186 | 2020-10-27T17:46:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107894426.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20201027170516-20201027200516-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.981401 | 397 |
Lessons in stockmarket endurance
The redundancy note came out of the blue.
Andrew Bascand, a financial high-flier more used to being headhunted than let go, was managing New Zealand share investments for American investment firm AllianceBernstein when it decided to shut up shop in 2009.
"Shock and surprise, really," was his reaction to the news. "What they wanted to do was take out headcount globally. The [global financial crisis] had hit them hard and they thought the best thing to do was wind down a few offices around the world."
The New Zealand operation was profitable at the time - its 2008 net profit was $1.8 million - and Bascand's team had just been named the 2008 domestic fund manager of the year by consultancy Morningstar.
It was easy to decide what to do.
"Within a second of getting that redundancy note we knew we had a business together," says Bascand.
The business was Harbour Asset Management, which kicked off in Wellington in December 2009 with back office support from broking firm First NZ Capital. It opened its Australasian Equity Fund the following April.
Last month Harbour picked up its first fund manager of the year gong from Morningstar.
"It's good after four years to be on the board but I wouldn't take anything for granted," says Bascand.
With about $1.3 billion under management, Harbour rests on its laurels at its peril.
Alongside his peers in the industry Bascand is riding a resurgent stockmarket fuelled by KiwiSaver money, putting fund managers at the heart of an investment revival. The decisions of people like him are part of the big picture that finances government share offers, company investments and initial public offers.
While the sale of government shares in power companies and Air New Zealand have given a welcome boost for the capital markets, says Bascand, the ultimate test will be longer term.
"I suspect when we look back in three years one thing will have happened - the governance arrangements have created better companies. That's the one thing I'm looking for here."
There are benefits in releasing money for the Government to use elsewhere and local authorities should do the same, he says, "but the true success will be adding to productivity, and I can't measure that today."
It's a typically strategic view from the fund manager. After initially studying agriculture at Lincoln, Bascand attracted the attention of the Reserve Bank, which helped pay for his Masters degree in econometrics and maths.
On graduating in 1984 he joined the bank to work on freeing up currency controls and floating the exchange rate, continuing the theme with a two-year stint at the Bank of England before returning to the RBNZ to help with its first monetary policy targets agreement, which emerged in 1990.
The shift to investment began with AMP, which headhunted Bascand to fill a new role as head of strategy, and the die was cast.
There followed jobs setting up asset management units for AMP and Merrill Lynch in London, providing the ideal background for someone who might one day want to start his own fund management firm.
While Bascand regards himself as an economist and strategist more than a stock picker, he clearly relishes the detail in analysing investments.
"Every day you walk in, no matter how much you thought the day before you knew everything, you know very little. The challenge of the amount of information you have to read and digest in working out the prioritisation of that [investment] systematically, that's what I really like.
"You have to become a very broad generalist to manage money, and be prepared to listen to other people an enormous amount."
Fund managers are typically opinionated, forthright and prepared to trust their judgment in the face of contrary opinions. Bascand, while he expresses his views with understated care and precision, is cut from the same cloth, but not too much.
"[Fund managers] can be too opinionated," he says. "I think the successful ones have a core philosophy, a core belief."
As usual, Bascand is not making an idle remark. A keen student of what makes fund managers successful, he makes a point of travelling around the world every two years to interview key figures in the trade.
Ask him who he regards as the most inspiring and without hesitation he picks out James Anderson of Edinburgh-based fund manager Baillie Gifford.
Anderson, who returned to his flagship Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust in January after a six-month sabbatical, has seen his star soar alongside the trust's returns. In the last five years alone, Scottish Mortgage returned 233 per cent as it outperformed its traditional rival Alliance to become the biggest listed investment trust in Britain.
A growth investor, Bascand shares Anderson's affinity with the philosophy of US fund manager Thomas Rowe Price in the 1950s, as well as his interest in quantitative analysis and maths.
"[Anderson] has implemented it on a global market. He really is someone I admire and look up to. He has built a team around him of industry experts, people who really have deep insights into sectors, not just stocks."
"Thinking about my team here - I've got seven people - I like to think my guys don't only know their stocks, they know their sectors. So [research analyst] Kevin [Bennett] . . . he knows as much about Intuit as he would Xero, that's what I would hope."
Xero is one of those companies local fund managers often have mixed feelings about. Its soaring valuation - last week it was valued at about $5.2b - has looked increasingly at odds with the terrestrial reality of its business outlook. The question is, at what point do they let go of the balloon?
"Some people would say the biggest mistake I made last year was not investing in Xero," says Bascand. "The astonishing thing is we sold Xero at the beginning of the year and we'd already made a lot of money.
"We're delighted that we had one of our strongest performance years in 2013 without owning Xero. Were we right or wrong? We were obviously wrong. But my philosophy was that we'd done our work on it and couldn't quite find the value there despite it being a great company."
Sticking to your principles, despite the pressure to change, helps you make money, says Bascand.
There was a bad period in 2011 when Harbour's performance wasn't looking good and the fund manager reached out to clients to reassure them about staying with the programme.
"Within two months we had a really good recovery in many stocks. A classic example would be Seek and CSL, both of which have more than doubled from their lows."
But not all went well.
"The clear lesson from that period was that where governance was questionable or difficult, and where a company was in an industry that was struggling, we should have cut the position earlier. The most obvious example was Rakon."
Harbour had researched the crystal component maker thoroughly and thought it understood the business well, but perhaps it got too close.
In hindsight, "there were just too many red flags through that whole experience. I was shocked and surprised that so long into an investment career you can still make quite a few mistakes".
These days Harbour keeps a league table of listed companies' governance standards that feeds into its investment analysis. Discreetly, Bascand won't say who tops and tails the table.
However, for all the focus on sharemarket investing, Bascand sees fixed interest and high income funds as the growth area because KiwiSaver money will increasingly be released to savers turning 65 and those people will be looking for yield.
"Over the next five years that's where the growth is going to come from. We love our core business of managing growth equities and we really like our client base, but in terms of where Harbour's going it really is in that fixed interest and equity income area."
With business growth comes increasing public attention on fees. It's a touchy subject for many fund managers and Bascand is no different, but he sees market forces as an important restraint.
"I think fees are quite competitive in New Zealand. I may be wrong."
If there is a problem, he says, it is mostly with performance fees - the manager's bonus for delivering returns over a certain level.
Bascand argues equity fund performance should be measured against an appropriate benchmark, not against cash returns, there should be a hurdle so that bonuses are not paid for simply recovering losses, and there should be a cap so that fees do not exceed a certain level.
He won't name funds he regards as offending that code, except to remark on a competing income fund that has a lower base fee but a performance fee that kicks in above cash. "Now the cash rate's 2.5 per cent. I know what fee they're getting, it's huge."
Such fees will renew debate, says Bascand. "I am witnessing this debate globally and I think it's inappropriate how some of these fees are set today. I know the [Financial Markets Authority] are looking at it."
Performance fees, of course, are the flip side of performance. Ask him how much fund managers should be delivering and Bascand has no trouble coming up with a number. Returns of 2.5 to 4 per cent more than the market should be possible in the medium term, he says, "but not every year".
Anyway, four years is not long enough to judge how good a manager is.
"You need about 10 years' history to determine whether someone's got skill or not. If someone's adhered to the same process over 10 years and they're delivering over that length of time that's a pretty good result."
By Bascand's standards, Harbour's got a way to go yet.
James Anderson Head of long-term global growth at Edinburgh-based fund manager Baillie Gifford. Manager of the £2.7b Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust.
Education: BA in Modern History, MA in International Affairs. Joined Baillie Gifford in 1983, becoming a partner in 1987.
Quotable quotes: "The entire industry superstructure is a construct made to defend the ideology of fund managers and investment banks taking their profits."
"I think big oil, and big pharma, are finished and banks still haven't found the right business model. The perception that because they are big parts of an industry these companies are ‘safe' is wrong in the long run."
"Stockmarkets are not a matter of most companies going up a bit. The vast majority of returns are generated by a very small number of companies."

Aboriginal people have a close connection with nature, and have gained wisdom about animals and the environment that isn’t always available in a typical science textbook. We call this wisdom Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge, or ATK. ATK has played an important role in Canadian conservation, and is passed down from one generation to the next through storytelling, singing, and even arts and crafts.
Earth Rangers is encouraging our young members to learn about and continue the tradition of storytelling by participating in our newest Mission, ATK in Action. To participate, members connect with an elder in their life and ask to hear a story about an experience they had in nature. They then create a piece of art using traditional aboriginal animal symbols to represent the story’s theme. When they’re finished, members can enter the ATK in Action Art Contest.

Human rights are culminations of human needs and abilities. Most samples of essays on human rights define the concept as a basic freedom. But if you look at the introduction of any human rights essay, you will not find two similar definitions. We don’t have precise’ Human Rights’ meaning yet the concept dates back when human civilization began. Recently, papers on human rights have properly defined the use and relevance of this subject matter. The main emphasis is placed on the period after the World War 2, especially after UNDHR was created in 1948. Whatever argument you want to bring in your human rights essay, it is imperative that you follow your outline from the start to the conclusion. | <urn:uuid:feec77ec-cc7f-420d-abc4-75698240f64d> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/human-rights/ | 2019-12-07T07:39:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540496492.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20191207055244-20191207083244-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.930825 | 140 |

Sunday was the hottest day of the year in San Diego, a wild and wet one in the county mountains and an absolute scorcher in the desert.
While the mercury climbed to 85 at Lindbergh Field, topping the previous high of 83 on Jan. 5, powerful thunderstorms rumbled through the mountains, sending hundreds of streaks of lightning crackling through the sky and dumping heavy but widely scattered downpours. Meanwhile, Ocotillo Wells near Borrego Springs hit 120 degrees, and Borrego Springs set a record with a high of 116.
The nearly weeklong hot spell has been slow loosening its grip, but forecasters say Monday is likely to be a few degrees cooler, and Tuesday should provide a more pronounced break from the heat and humidity. Inland areas such as Ramona and the San Pasqual Valley, which both hit 100 degrees Sunday, should be in the low 90s.
Thunderstorms remain a possibility in the mountains until Tuesday.
Storms began cropping up late Sunday morning near Cuyamaca Peak. One gauge in Descanso recorded 0.67 of an inch of rain.
In the early afternoon, the storm cells moved north. The National Weather Service issued a flash-flood warning shortly before 3 p.m. when radar showed a massive thunderstorm 50,000 feet tall had dumped about 1.5 inches of rain over a concentrated area near Warner Springs. About three feet of mud and water was reported on State route 79 south of Warner Springs, and a 58 mph wind gust was also recorded in the area.
Then around 5:30 p.m., forecasters issued a severe thunderstorm warning for a separate storm to the east, in the desert southwest of Ocotillo Wells.
Farther north, weather service personnel were sent to examine an area near Elsinore and Perris where a small tornado reportedly touched down in the afternoon. No damages or injuries were reported.
An influx of monsoonal moisture from Mexico has both fed the thunderstorms and turned up the thermostat. Besides hot conditions during the day, San Diego had its warmest night of the year, with a low of 72. Out in Ocotillo Wells, the low was 97. Some spots in the county set daily records for highest minimum temperatures on several nights last week.
Roger Pierce, the meteorologist in charge at the weather service’s Rancho Bernardo office, said the steamy conditions are not too unusual for August.
“This is the hottest time of year and when we’re most likely to get thunderstorms,” Pierce said. “It’s pretty much right on schedule.” | <urn:uuid:99fd1a6b-b5e8-4368-834d-1a8a2d9a0b3a> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/science/sdut-sunday-was-hottest-day-year-san-diego-2012aug12-story.html | 2017-09-24T00:18:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689806.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923231842-20170924011842-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950198 | 550 |

Since yesterday, it seems like I've seen a lot of journal comments here moderated "funny". I know my sense of humor is not the same as most people, but I fail to see how comments like "Yes, I agree with you" or questions asking "Are you sure?" can be considered even slightly humorous.
Is there a new bug in Slashcode, or is it some sort of moderator conspiracy? Do we have "weapons of mass moderation" on the loose? | <urn:uuid:935f74f2-2958-40f7-b637-2aaf048d40b7> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/_VSarkiss/journal/10907.html | 2014-11-29T01:34:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931011456.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155651-00157-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976229 | 98 |

Firefighters rescue pit bull puppy from fire
The 11-week-old puppy was unconscious after inhaling smoke, but firefighters and police revived her.

What seemed like a routine fire in Alabama turned out be a life-saving moment.
On Jan. 5, Alabama's Priceville Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire.
Firefighters extinguished the fire and then searched the house to make sure no one was inside.
But when volunteer firefighter David Wilson got back outside, the homeowner told him that Sadie, his 11-week-old pit bull puppy, was still in the bathroom.
Wilson re-entered the smoky building and found the tiny puppy, whose color made her blend into the bathroom floor.
"When I first saw her, she was unconscious on the floor and looked like she was sleeping, so I picked her up and took her outside and handed her to a police officer," Wilson told Dogster.com.
Officer Herman Davis placed an oxygen mask over the puppy's face and attempted to revive her.
After a few minutes, Sadie took a labored breath, and soon she was pawing and kicking as she tried to remove the mask.
"After that she received lot of loving from all that were there,” Wilson said. “When we left the scene she was a happy — albeit a little dirty — puppy."

Know the Difference
Recognize that the techniques you use in a greenside bunker are totally different than those you use if you find your ball in sand on the fairway. Rule no. 1 for both shots, however, is to get out of the sand.
Make these adjustments to your normal swing when you are in the sand in a greenside bunker. First, open the face of your club and address the ball with an open stance with the clubface pointing at the hole. Grip your sand wedge further down the shaft, and hold your club more loosely than you normally would. Stand a little further away from the ball and "wiggle" your feet into the sand both to ascertain the conditions of the sand and to lower the arc of your swing. Place the majority of your weight on the leg closer to the flag. Finally, on your backswing, break your wrists immediately to create a steeper swing and hit the sand about 2 inches behind the golf ball.
A Fairway Bunker
Gain confidence when you find your golf ball in a fairway sand trap and you are 150 yards or more from the green. Address the ball as you normally would in the fairway with your ball centered or a little forward in your stance. If you are not worried about getting the ball out of the sand, take a little more club than you would for a normal shot. For example, if you would hit a 6-iron on the fairway, use a 5-iron in the trap. Swing the club as you normally would, accelerate it through the shot and take as little sand as possible. Finally, don't try to help the ball out of the sand trap because, if you have chosen the right club, its face will do that for you.
Practice Makes Perfect
Practice both shots to learn how to control them and to gain confidence in your technique. If your golf club or practice range does not have sand bunkers for practicing long shots, hit balls off bare dirt and try to take as little of it as you can while hitting the ball solidly. | <urn:uuid:3a5cb53e-4567-410d-9ac8-cbb52716513f> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.golflink.com/list_1085_proper-bunker-techniques.html | 2019-01-19T23:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583684033.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20190119221320-20190120003320-00040.warc.gz | en | 0.947764 | 421 |
Here's some good news for Sony Ericsson Xperia Play owners looking to get more out of their device's camera. According to multiple XDA forum members, the upcoming Android 2.3.4 update for the Play will enable video recording at 720p resolution with continuous auto-focus. The software update in question isn't widely available yet, but the reports have been confirmed by multiple users who are already rocking 2.3.4 on their devices.
Since it launched back in April, the phone's 5-megapixel rear camera has been limited to recording video at 480p or lower, so kudos to SE for going the extra mile to add extra functionality in its software updates. Join us after the jump for a 720p sample video, courtesy of XDA poster Nhialor.
