Cosplayer Celeste Orchid > Costume of Yukata from Original: Historical / Renaissance
About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I had found a beautiful kimono fabric. It was simply not enough to make it into a kimono... or yukata... so I decided to add ruffles!!! I created two different obis... one huge brown one and then a middle purple one. This purple one is actually one of my favorites!!
- Personal Thoughts:
- Seriously I just wanted to try it out... and it looked very nice. I don't use the color green often but I thought that this would be a nice change.

On November 1, 1998, at 1200 eastern standard time (est), a Piper PA-22-20-150, N5908D, piloted by a private pilot, was substantially damaged during a ground loop event that occurred while on the initial takeoff roll. The airplane was taking off on runway 09 (3,503' X 75' dry asphalt) at the Mason-Jewett Field, Mason, Michigan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight was operating on a flight plan. The pilot and passenger reported no injuries. The flight was departing Mason, Michigan, at 1200 est. Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page
The pilot said the airplane began yawing to the left as he brought it onto its main gear for takeoff. He said he over- corrected with right rudder and the airplane yawed rapidly to the right and then over-corrected to the left. According to the pilot, he caused the airplane to occillate about its yaw axis due to another over-correction. The airplane departed the runway's left edge into the grass and ground looped to the left. The pilot said "The right wheel dug into the soil on the left side of the runway and the airplane tipped up... ."
The pilot said he may have applied too much right rudder as he brought the airplane onto its main landing gear. According to the pilot, he had 19-hours in the accident airplane. He said he had about 255-hours in a homebuilt tail wheel airplane that was about the same size as the accident airplane. He said the experimental airplane had a 70-HP engine on it. The accident airplane was equipped with a 150 horse power engine. The pilot said he had about 1-hour of dual instruction in N5908D before flying it as pilot-in-command. | <urn:uuid:58b4d36b-fb4c-411d-8c3d-df9fa8bb38e8> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20001211X11377&ntsbno=CHI99LA017&akey=1 | 2014-08-22T19:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500824445.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021344-00293-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971456 | 386 |
As dust settles over the death of singer Mowzey Radio, I wish there is someone from the medical fraternity to help us chart a way forward through our triage system. Uganda’s world of medicine leaves a lot to desire.
Hospitals such as Nsambya, Mengo and Lubaga used to look at Mulago as a centre of excellence. For the little times I studied or practiced nursing in Mulago, all complications were referred to the specialists there. Not anymore!
The medicine in Uganda has developed so fast that one would like to know what new specialties have been introduced in these very many mushrooming hospitals. When you want an explanation on how Radio died, you need to hear it from an authority. But the Case hospital doctor who offered the explanation sounded like a clinical officer!
How do you give a doctor whose name is not anywhere on Google to explain such a complex and contentious death to the world? I understand Radio was transferred to Case from Nsambya.
What is the accepted triage system between these hospitals? What referral notes came out of Nsambya, for example? And what were the driving factors for Case hospital to take over this patient? Has Case hospital become a center of excellence as compared to our traditional Mulago? Someone should be in charge of death in Uganda.
Life is becoming so cheap in Uganda. Let me simulate for you how this scene would [partly] have played out in USA. Radio is assaulted in Entebbe; the first thing would have been a 911 call. The dispatch would have been police, fire engine and a fully equipped ambulance with a trauma team.
Three vehicles dispatched by the police team would arrive in place to secure the crime scene. At the scene, the highly mobile trauma team would take care of the victim while all the assessment is going on to save life. The team would know which hospital suits the circumstances.
At some place, the helicopter would be available, ready for a flight depending on the situation as assessed by the already-dispatched team. The police would remain in the bar to download images from the database for review.
Those transporting Radio would have been interested parties; insurance and paramedical legal teams whereby the crime scene runs right from the bar to the hospital, which potentially might be a new area of investigation. The immediate care given brings everyone into the law.
Yes, he needed an immediate surgery but even as the doctors go to open his brain or whatever, the medical legal team makes sure the surgeon is covered as the decision for surgery should not be among those that will be suspected to have caused death. And if surgery is the best option, the best or senior most surgeon leads this.
James William Mugeni,
Electricity regulators should be more vigilant
It has been reported that the biggest percentage of electricity metres (Yaka) that were tested by Uganda National Bureau of Standards between June and December 2017 are faulty.
This has made most Ugandans suspicious of Umeme, claiming that these meters run too fast compared to the actual units of electricity consumed by electricity users.
As Uganda is investing a lot of money in generation and transmission of electricity all over the country to attain the middle-income status by 2020, it is also very important to protect and defend consumer rights.
Poor Ugandans are being cheated indirectly, which is affecting national development. I call upon Uganda Electricity Regulatory Authority and the Uganda National Bureau of Standards to audit Umeme and protect the electricity consumer.
Change Uganda’s liberation days
Since independence, Ugandans have marked three rounds of ‘liberation’ days. The one after Idi Amin overthrew Milton Obote; then when Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) came to remove Amin.
Finally, every January 26, we celebrate another liberation day. On my calendar, it is indicated as NRM liberation day (and I think that is how it is in the national gazette), not a national liberation day.
The origin of these occasions we celebrate were not only very violent and bloody, they also pitted Ugandans against Ugandans. We are celebrating wanton destruction of property, atrocities and terrible abuses of human rights. In any case, none of these has produced true liberation, especially in the political sense.
They serve parochial, non-conciliatory and aim at non-healing of wounds inflicted on the nation. The utterances and songs sung now are divisive, insensitive and lack empathy.
Maybe the only likeness of liberation should be the Independence day. I suggest we replace NRM liberation day with a national day: a day where we reflect on failures, gains of our past and map out successes.
We can as well find a term in Kiswahili, English or local dialect to give such a day. Kenyans have Madaraka day while Tanzanians have Mapinduzi day; Americans and Canadians have Thanksgiving days. Ugandans would celebrate such a day together with their leaders, irrespective of their political affiliation or ethnicity.
Celebrate people when still alive
I don’t want to point fingers at anyone for the death of Mowzey Radio but I want to send a message to Ugandans and the world at large, especially public figures…
You can all bear me witness that a few hours after the disheartening news of Radios’ death, all radio and TV stations suddenly started playing nonstop music from the fallen legend, leave alone the newspapers trying to eulogise him.
There is totally nothing wrong with that, but why play his music after he is gone? Why prove his legendary status in his absence?
When he was amidst us, we only made it hard for him to shine! Fellow artistes looked to outshine him, others didn’t acknowledge him while some media houses always looked for his weaknesses to criticize; yet deep down, we all knew the kind of talent and heart he had for his country!
Now that he is gone, everybody is trying to show the amount of respect for him and the attachment they had to him! Funny humans!
Let us show people what they mean to their community before it is too late.

I received this recipe from the National Honey Board, and decided to try it out. We LOVE pumpkin, and I love the flavor that honey gives to baked goods, so it seemed like a great thing to do today with the boys out of school early. We loved these cookies! They weren’t too sweet (at least not until I added milk chocolate or white chocolate). I probably should have looked at the nutrition information before eating so many of them, but, oh well.
All-natural honey not only adds moisture to gluten-free recipes, it also masks “off” or bitter flavors often found in whole grains and gluten-free flours. This ideal ingredient is not just a simple sweetener — with more than 300 varietals in the United States, honey adds its own special flavor to any recipe. In general, lighter colored honeys are milder in flavor, while darker honeys are more robust. And besides giving a touch of sweetness to every bite, honey also adds an appealing golden color to baked goods for an eye-catching, mouth-watering treat.
It can be challenging to incorporate gluten-free substitutes for popular ingredients and still get the taste and texture of counterparts containing gluten. Honey can be the perfect addition to gluten-free recipes, especially baked goods like cookies.
Enjoy the taste of the holidays with these Gluten-free Pumpkin Honey Spice Cookies developed by the National Honey Board. They’re sure to be a hit with both adults and kids — and they’re perfect to bring to cookie exchanges or office and home celebrations during the holidays.
GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN HONEY SPICE COOKIES
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
2 cups gluten-free flour blend* (note from Cassandra – don’t use a flour blend with xanthan gum AND add the guar gum. Honestly, the cookies will be fine, just a bit stiffer/gummier. And yes, I know this from experience.)
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon guar gum powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup pumpkin purée
1 large egg
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup dried cranberries
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or line with parchment paper 3 cookie sheets. In a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. On a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer, cream together honey and butter. Beat in pumpkin and egg (mixture will look curdled, but will smooth out when dry ingredients are added). On low speed, mix in dry ingredients until blended; mix in pecans and cranberries. Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving 1 inch between them. Bake 15 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool on pan 5 minutes; with spatula, transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
*Use a store-bought blend or make your own blend by combining equal parts white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch or cornstarch.

We decided to add some chocolate to the tops of ours. I also threw the last of the batch (the first batch, with the extra gum) in a dish and into the microwave for a minute and a half, with some white chocolate chips on top.

An account controlled by a senior provincial health department official reflects payments that were clearly made for election-related items.
By 2008, the joke around the office water cooler, as it were, was that a large part of the money spent by the Gauteng department of health, amounting to billions of rands, constituted a fundraising exercise for the ANC.
And the chatter was that political battles were being fought with the proceeds.
These are some of the allegations contained in thousands of pages of evidence compiled by the police’s Hawks and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). Although the allegations seem based entirely on hearsay, recounted by witnesses who themselves could face criminal charges, investigators believe they have found a solid example of the proceeds of corruption being used in an ANC election campaign.
On January 27 2009, three months before national and provincial elections, a company called Amethst paid R100 000 into a FNB business bank account controlled by a senior official of the department of health in Gauteng, an account apparently intended for fundraising, judging by its name. Amethst noted the payment as “election education”.
The payment alone breaks all kinds of rules: Amethst was part of a consortium that hoped to do more than R1-billion in business with the provincial health department, a consortium that investigators believe received outrageously preferential treatment. The donation was never declared by either party.
Proceeds of crime
Amethst is one of the companies that officials of the Asset Forfeiture Unit believe benefited from the proceeds of crime, and from which they hope to recover money.
But what happened next really raised eyebrows.
The fundraising account had been almost empty before the Amethst payment. The day after it, the account reflected a payment of R5 500, described as “ANC elections”.
Questions surround the funding for the ANC’s 2009 election campaign in Gauteng. (Paul Botes, M&G)
A flurry of similar payments followed, to T-shirt companies, caterers, photographers, a carpet-hire company, a marquee provider, a toilet-hire company, a company that prints flyers and a provider of electrical generators. Each transaction was described as “ANC Gauteng” or “ANC elections GP” or, occasionally, “ANC Gauteng election”.
The payments were small but there were many and, by the end of March, the account was starting to empty again. On March 27, Amethst made another transfer into it, this time for R200 000. More payments for the kind of services required to run an election campaign followed.
Is this clear evidence that dirty money funded the ANC’s election campaign in Gauteng?
On Thursday the ANC head office referred such questions to its Gauteng division. The ANC in the province, in turn, said it had no knowledge of the money.
“We did not receive money or any donation from the person who is mentioned,” its spokesperson, Nkenke Kekana, said on Thursday.
“From time to time in any election campaign, the ANC will be engaged in fundraising. We rely on our members and those who are supporters of the ANC and companies to donate money to the ANC. And many of them will request confidentiality because of the nature of the donations, therefore it is very difficult for us to talk about the subject matter.”
Kekana expressed “concern” about any SIU or Hawks investigation of ANC fundraising.
It is not clear that the ANC knew the provenance of the money apparently spent on its campaign, and there is nothing other than hints and suggestions that far larger sums flowed to or were spent for the benefit of the party.
But it does appear that the businesspeople who stand accused of extensive corruption were under the impression they were funding ambitious people.
One former employee of Richard Payne, a businessperson at the centre of events, recounts how Payne showed him a spreadsheet in 2008, listing “Friends of the ANC”, or Franc.
“According to Richard, the sole purpose of Franc was to ensure the successful accession of Paul Mashatile to Parliament or the presidency,” the employee says in a sworn statement.
“Richard joked that this was another example of ‘the bottomless pit attitude’ and for the first time suggested that all money that had exchanged hands previously was part of a larger ‘fundraiser’ exercise.
“He joked that the contract [held by his company with the Gauteng department of health] itself was ‘just a fundraiser’ for the ANC.”
That Mashatile, now an MP and formerly a member of Cabinet, was a beneficiary of such “donations” is contradicted by evidence that, as MEC for finance in Gauteng at the time, he was an obstacle to the creation of dubious structures and the doing of dodgy deals. At one point, investigators document, other officials had to scramble to bypass Mashatile on a contract he refused to sign, which would be central in extracting cash from the province.
Mashatile could not be reached for comment.
But among suppliers to the Gauteng government the belief seemed to have been pervasive that the cash they were handing over in envelopes, or paying on invoices for services never rendered, was to fund the ANC or factions within it. And a failure to pay up could have serious consequences, the suppliers believed.
Payne would subsequently tell employees that he had been threatened with deportation after he tried to cut off, or at least slow down, the flow of money to officials. He later hired a full-time bodyguard and travelled in an armoured car. | <urn:uuid:b5128eae-0d3d-4f9a-bbb5-fdde31b5f7e0> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://mg.co.za/article/2014-07-24-health-funds-flowed-to-anc/ | 2016-05-01T17:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860116878.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161516-00188-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980749 | 1,191 |

Children with visual impairment learn by having direct, hands-on experiences with objects and events, including those in their community. Children with typical vision can observe from a distance (for example, while seated in a shopping buggy) and learn a great range of concepts this way. Children who are blind or visually impaired, on the other hand, have to get “up close and personal” with these same objects and events in order to learn about them and understand what is happening. A full memory “bank” of tactile, auditory, and olfactory experiences (touch, hearing, and smell) at home and in the community, will build important concepts that will prepare your child for further language and social learning.
Many different community locations offer enjoyable learning opportunities. For the younger preschooler a brief trip to the supermarket, ending with purchasing and eating a favorite snack, may be the most fun and successful. An older child may enjoy a longer sequence such as signing and delivering a birthday card to a parent or grandparent at the local post office. Tailor the trip to the interests and attention level of your child. The following are suggested destinations:
- convenience store
- fast food restaurant
- discount department store
- post office
- garden shop
- fire station
- gift shop
- police station
How to Make Your Trips Successful!
- Most often these special trips work best if done separately from longer, more complex weekly errands. If possible, plan these special trips with your child when you can take time to offer your total, undivided attention.
- Talk to your child ahead of time about where you are going and invite suggestions about types of items that might be found there. Offer help to think of one to four different items to find, depending on how many your child can remember. Most of these items should be things very interesting to your child. If this trip involves shopping or buying food, talk about how much money will be needed and provide a bill large enough to cover the cost. Suggest that your child carry it in a pocket.
- On the way to your destination occasionally discuss, again, where you are going and see if your child can recall what the two of you intend to buy or find. Ask your child to check to make sure the money is still in their pocket.
- Encourage your child to use current Sighted Guide skills while walking from the car, across the parking lot, through the building, and back to the car. Your child should hold one or two of your fingers firmly and walk beside you, preferably slightly behind. At curbs you should come to a complete stop while saying that you are coming to an “up curb” or “down curb.” Your child should stop beside you, and then wait for you to step first before stepping up or down. By this age most children are ready to walk at all times; carrying should be limited to special circumstances. Use Sighted Guide for most travel within the building, except for free exploration of small areas.
- Allow your child to stop occasionally to explore a particular small area. Stay close by to offer any necessary protection and to describe what he is finding. Remind your child to “put your hands out in front” or “use you’re your bumpers” when necessary. Offer simple descriptions of what the objects are, how they feel, and how they smell. Point out noticeable sounds and help your child figure out what they are.
- After allowing exploration of some small areas, objects, and merchandise return to the task of locating the items decided upon earlier. Again ask what items are needed, and where the money is. Walk your child to the appropriate aisle using Sighted Guide, to a position close to the merchandise you’re looking for. Help your child decide which container is correct and place it in the buggy or the hand basket.
- At the front of the store encourage your child to stop, listen for a cash register, and point to the sound. Help your child find the counter, place the items on top, and get out the money. You may need to encourage the clerk by saying out loud, “the nice lady is going to tell you how much it costs.” When the clerk does this, this is your child’s cue to hand over the money (bills only). You may need to demonstrate supination (turning palm up) of your child’s hand to receive the change. A big thank you to the clerk is great! And, carrying the bag out of the store gives your child a feeling of completion and accomplishment. If a special treat was purchased allow your child to have some of it within a few minutes of the purchase, if possible.
- Use this approach with other simple community trips. Offer many objects and areas to explore; everything is important for your child even if it seems insignificant to you. You have seen the item or landmark many, many times, but your child may never have had direct contact with it. Encourage tasks such as putting a stamp on a letter and dropping it in the mailbox, throwing away the table trash from lunch at McD’s, or pulling off a plastic bag to put the apples in. There is a small part of almost any event that your child can help with and learn from. With a bit of repetition, most children learn to enjoy these adventures in independence.
- Offer your child many experiences, and continue those that seem highly motivating. Never push participation in an activity that your child is resisting, merely try again later. Most children quickly learn to enjoy and seek out even more of this type of environmental exploration and learning.
- Precane or Cane? Community trips are sometimes helpful for introducing the use of a precane or cane. However, the purpose of these trips is largely for the hands-on exploration of the setting, so care should be taken not to allow the use of the device to interfere. You may want to hold off on use of the precane or cane until these trips are well established. Your child’s VI teacher and O&M Specialist should discuss when your child is ready for work on a device and how this can best be accomplished. If the team agrees on community trips with the device, thought should be given to how to work this in. A predictable routine in the store, for instance, may be helpful. For example, this might involve a period of exploration, followed by shopping for the three items, and then using the precane or cane to walk to the front of the store for the purchase.
- Consult regularly with your child’s O&M specialist to update and expand on these trips.

it has been two weeks in this tiny-miny hospital...
eh... it is considered as a district hospital with pakar! so it has medical, surgery, O&G, and paediatrics but without orthopedics. i also don't know why, every complicated 'tulang' cases will be sent to other hospital. tiu...
then, where am i?
hah, i got into medical department!
i wanted paediatrics, but there are more than enough MOs liao. but my pengarah is kind enough to let me choose what i want, so here i am!!!
i met this patient in my clinic today.
an old 'yellow-skinned' guy, with some heart disease, which need to take warfarin (a medicine) everyday in order to make his blood more 'cair'. in other words, it is to prevent blood from clotting.
he has been taking it for years. but hor, he misses the medicine frequently too... he will take it whenever he feels like it, not bothering of what-so-ever outcomes.
of course, he claimed to be compliant to the medication all these while. but, the blood results always in not-so-good level all these while too.
unfortunately he met me today...
pakcik: aku makan tiap-tiap hari lor...
me: betul ke???
pakcik: betul, betul!
me: lepas tu, apa pasal itu darah tak cantik!
pakcik: eh..... (blank face)
me: kenapa ponteng ubat?
pakcik: eh.... (pause even longer)
pakcik: hehe heeee
me: lu mau mati ke!!!
pakcik: haha hah! (still laughing)
after all, it is just purely ignorance...
to treat them, what is the point?
to save all the craps, it is better to shake up their brains first... | <urn:uuid:ac9f3061-637c-41ff-bef7-47fc58a152c6> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://bolehmanshawn.blogspot.com/2008/05/medical-department.html | 2018-06-24T01:45:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865995.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624005242-20180624025242-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.851453 | 433 |

Engagement is a term we use for pre-marital commitment, as well as a good movie.
I prefer to use the metaphor of driving a car. When one engages a gear, it is a call to action, a desire to help the vehicle achieve its potential at the appropriate speed, given its current environment. “Drive” is also an alternate term for motivation.
To state the obvious, a car is made to move – otherwise it would not be “mobile” – and thus it “wants” to be in gear, as opposed to “neutral,” “park” or “reverse.” These states have their place, but not in the interest of advancing towards a destination.
Engaging employees – our internal customers, so to speak – requires us first of all to ensure that they desire to be moving forward. Some people want a job, but don’t want to work. They are occupying time, and are happily in “neutral.” Those in “reverse” hanker after better times – “when we” – and have no energy to take them on to greater exploits, either.
Those who can be engaged are those who already want to go somewhere, preferably a great end-point or vision. In the 21st Century world of work, command-and-control is out, and inspiration is in. Educators must engage learners, in order to help them achieve significant results. Managers need to inspire their teams to own the strategy and its execution in their own domain.
There are multiple questions that will need to be answered:
- Do we have a vision that inspires commitment and passion?
- Have we recruited the right people, who naturally want to work in this field?
- Are our customer touch-points benefitting from the best possible staff?
- Are people given the resources and freedom they need to operate effectively?
- Is our reputation being managed actively?
- Are remuneration discussions ongoing, backed by research and non-threatening?
- Do we reward what we actually want, and cater for diverse motivational needs?
- Do we walk our talk when it comes to encouraging employee growth?
- Do we have a robust retention strategy?
It is not a choice anymore, as to whether we engage our employees. It is only a matter of who we choose to engage, before they are no longer our employees. | <urn:uuid:c2aa31e7-7664-48e9-8442-6b93498a302b> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.focusedpeople.biz/engagement-rant/ | 2019-05-24T19:01:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257731.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524184553-20190524210553-00120.warc.gz | en | 0.964396 | 505 |
Opening Panel: Un-visioning Cities
Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 | 16:00-17:30 CET
Abstract: The spectre of urbanisation and urban growth statistics - especially in the global south - has led to an intense preoccupation with urban futures: what size of population by when, what percentage, where, poverty, consumption and cost projections... These forecasts underpin a now fairly established narrative about the future of cities that has to do with urban planning, infrastructure and services, spatiality and efficiency, public health, sustainability (pollution, consumption, degradation, climate vulnerability), technological solutions, and so forth. The "smart city" or the "sustainable city" is one of the future-proofed, packaged solutions to all of this.

Megan Greenwood, Owner at Greenwood Brewing
I started Greenwood Brewing because (of course) I LOVE making tasty beer, but what I love even more is creating a product that provides an avenue for new and powerful conversation. I believe women need to encourage each other and share with each other in order to create change in their lives, and craft beer can be a vehicle for culture shift. Why? Because craft beer promotes social experiences and social experiences promote conversation. The right conversation can promote change – and that’s the ultimate goal.
Welcome to Greenwood Brewing. Let’s share something great together over the latest batch of brews. We promise it’ll be an experience to remember.
Stephanie Vasquez, Owner at Fair Trade Cafe
Stephanie Vasquez was already helping the future of the Valley as a teacher in west Phoenix, but 14 years ago she took a leap of faith and opened Fair Trade Café, serving up what she calls coffee with a conscience.
“Mother Earth, where coffee’s grown, how people cultivate the land, how consumers drink and consume coffee.” said Vasquez. With every cup she hoped to educate people about the working conditions around the world; all of her coffee is grown on farms that pay their workers fairly and are treated properly.
“We’re all intertwined and how my purchases is literally sustained livelihoods, generational livelihoods, from people all over the world,” said Vasquez.
Vasquez learned resilience from her family and culture and it has helped her during the trying times of owning a business.
“Well, I really am a mirror of my family and they, the way that my mother and father raised me, was to pride yourself in the work that you do.” Vasquez said.
Community is so vital to Vasquez that she created another passion project, Mujeres Mercado: A platform for other Latina-owned businesses to come together and showcase their work at her café. | <urn:uuid:0927e952-243f-4db9-b460-9704b0413f96> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://arizonatalks.org/events/arizona-talks-entrepreneur-stories/ | 2021-03-08T05:47:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178381989.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308052217-20210308082217-00361.warc.gz | en | 0.954729 | 695 |
If walls could talk, Mayowood's might direct you to the white oak tree beneath which Dr. Charles H. Mayo designed the 48-room mansion. In 1911, the family moved in, and for the next nearly 60 years, three generations of Drs. Mayo lived in the stately home in the countryside near Rochester, MN.
The Mayos furnished their mansion with treasures, many collected during travels abroad.
Now Mayo Clinic owns the house and the History Center of Olmsted County the contents, and Mayowood is on display to the public. Guided tour-takers can marvel at its elegance, admire splendid antiques and see in its courtyard its designer's favorite white oak tree.
Following is a peek at Mayowood, a mini-visit that may tempt you to take the grand tour.
"A real family lived here"
The heirlooms will delight you--Chippendale chairs, Limoges china, a Belgian lace fan that belonged to Empress Josephine, Waterford crystal chandeliers, a Louis XV desk, Chinese scrolls (circa 1725), an 1810 English Regency Style four-poster bed and much more.
You'll learn about the Mayos. "What I like most about Mayowood is the generations who lived here and their stories," says Chuck Potter, manager of Mayo Clinic's historic properties. "A real family lived here, and they are absolutely fascinating."
- Charles H. (Dr. Charlie) and Edith and their six children, two adopted children and foster son. It was Dr. Charlie, his brother Dr. Will (William James Mayo) and their father Dr. W.W. Mayo who established Mayo Clinic.
- Charles W. (Dr. Chuck) and Alice and their six children and two adopted nephews.
- Charles H. II (Young Dr. Charlie) and Carolyn and their two children.
Family photos adorn the foyer walls, and a quote from Dr. Chuck introduces a story: "Imagine living in a house so vast, our children once kept goats in a downstairs room for two weeks before we discovered them."
One of the culprits was Young Charlie, who later remarked that hiding one goat was a cinch, but when they added another, the odor overwhelmed the household.
Antiques and opulence abound
Music room attractions include a 1913 player Aeolian pipe organ, a marble statue of Napoleon and a Steinway grand piano.
A carved 17th century doorframe outlines the entrance to the living room. The doorframe came from a castle in Germany, and the living room measures 1,150 square feet. The area rug is Mashhad Persian, 32.5 feet by 20 feet. It's hand-loomed and signed, and when your tour guide tells you the tale of horses in the house, you'll applaud the exquisite rug's durability.
"This whole house is huge, but to me it's very comfortable," says tour guide Jerri Peters. "You could live here."
Mayowood's many works of art include paintings and sculptures by talented Mayo children, some of whom became artists.
Treasures preserved and lost
Alice liked to keep track of how tall her children and grandchildren grew. You can view their height measurement markings on the wall by the library windows.
But some treasures can't be viewed on the tour -- they are only retained in storytelling. For example, while playing catch in Mayowood's woods, Young Charlie and his brother Ned lost the baseball. Not their ball. This one belonged to their dad, Dr. Chuck -- the baseball signed for him by Lou Gehrig.
Guided tours take place from March to October. Then from early November until mid-December, the mansion is decked out for the holidays and reopens for Christmas visits. Plan your visit to Mayowood Mansion. | <urn:uuid:e9cb65f0-bb7d-4d07-9431-2c365a170519> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.experiencerochestermn.com/blog/post/historic-mayowood-mansion-a-top-attraction-in-rochester-mn/ | 2021-09-17T12:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055645.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917120628-20210917150628-00089.warc.gz | en | 0.961391 | 797 |
In objective reality we are all sharing the same physical world, thus our actions affect other real beings, laying some grounds for morality, at the very least the "do onto others" and its invert.
But if reality is subjective, and purely a construct of a central to it consciousness with no common objective physical manifestation, that appears to render morality obsolete.
For example, in the context of murder:
if I am central and define this reality, then murder will be a crime against a figment of my imagination, and therefore will not matter
if I am a product of someone else's reality, I am just a figment of that consciousness' imagination, therefore I don't have control over my actions and bear no responsibility for murdering anyone, including the central person
solipsism or not, even if "the extras" are real people, my actions will only affect them in my reality, and not in theirs, so no violation against another consciousness takes place, and a violation against someone else can only take place if they themselves manifest it in their subjective reality
So how and why would one have morality in a subjective reality? | <urn:uuid:9711444d-a169-44cf-a0dc-5ab91b10aa55> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/51501/grounds-for-morality-in-subjective-idealistic-reality/51531 | 2019-06-25T04:26:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999787.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625031825-20190625053825-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.951163 | 230 |
Published December 07. 2012 4:00AM
Groton - The impact of a petition calling for a repeal of a City Council vote authorizing the sale of Thames Valley Communications remains an unknown.
The petition was filed Wednesday and certified by City Clerk Debbie Patrick on Thursday. She said the petition contained the necessary 20 signatures, as mandated by City Charter.
City Mayor Marian Galbraith said the petition is in the hands of the city's attorney for interpretation of the City Charter and what should be done next. The City Charter does allow for a referendum vote in certain matters, but Galbraith declined to speculate on that possibility.
"We want to make sure we are doing everything correctly," she said.
Petitioners have called for a repeal of a Nov. 19 vote by the City Council that authorized sale of the municipally owned cable, phone and Internet provider, a subsidiary of Groton Utilities, for $150,000. A final vote on the sale to CTP Investors LLC, a private investment management firm, is still scheduled for Dec. 17.
The petition was filed on the day before new charter revisions, approved by voters at referendum in November, took effect. Under the newly implemented revisions, a petition would have needed 5 percent of the registered voters from the last election, substantially more than the 35 signatures that were verified on the petition.
Residents called for a repeal of the vote in light of what resident Jay Dempsey said was revelations about TVC's $27.5 million debt and operating losses of more than $2 million a year since 2004.
Dempsey said not enough about the sale, negotiated behind closed doors, or the operation of the company was known to residents who are now second-guessing the council's decision.
"We need a cooling-off period - more time to make an informed decision," Dempsey said.
Dempsey said he would prefer to have TVC's financial records and assets made public and allow time for the possibility of a better deal for the city. Residents voted in favor of the city bonding money to establish the company, but he said frustration has arisen because of the lack of general information about the operation of TVC.
Galbraith said she is concerned delays will jeopardize the sale. Transfer of ownership is scheduled for Jan. 1.
"The longer we delay, the more money we are putting into it," Galbraith said.
She said that she is also concerned about the nearly two dozen TVC employees, who would have likely lost their jobs had the council decided to liquidate TVC instead of selling it.
"It's not in the best interests of the city, the employees or the company to prolong this," she said. "We don't want to be forced into liquidation. It is the least desirable thing that could happen."
She said the labor costs alone to tear down miles of cable are likely to offset any salvage value. In addition, Galbraith said liquidation would cost jobs and a chance for the new company to continue the service. | <urn:uuid:e3feb0c2-825a-43de-bdf3-90ed2dff1851> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.shorepublishing.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121207/NWS01/312079934/1070/SPORT03&CSLoginOnly=true | 2014-08-02T03:04:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510276250.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011756-00432-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974493 | 617 |
Poll: Who Invented The High Heel — A Man Or Woman?
There’s a bit of a debate at the Morning Show between Gary and Lisa about who first invented the high heel shoe. Lisa thinks it was a man, while Gary insists it was a woman.
After doing a bit of Googling with no definitive answer coming up, we’re leaving the question in your hands.
According to the always reliable source on Wikipedia, “Controversy exists over when high heels were first invented, but the consensus is that heels were worn by both men and women throughout the world for many centuries and for a variety of reasons.”
And according to The History Of High Heels, “Short-statured Italian bride Catherine d’Medici, married at 14 to the Duke of Orleans, wears shoes with two-inch heels to exaggerate her height.The high heel may have been invented by Leonardo da Vinci,” but who can really trust everything on the Internet.
So that doesn’t really solve anything, and now we leave the question up to you. What do you think…did a man or a woman invent the high heel? | <urn:uuid:e502ad64-9587-4cac-ba0d-750acb07ee93> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://kearth101.cbslocal.com/2012/06/13/poll-who-invented-the-high-heel-a-man-or-woman/ | 2015-08-04T03:26:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042990217.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002310-00100-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970023 | 247 |

John North Willys ran a variety of retail businesses in upstate New York in the 1890s. Toward the end of that decade he purchased a successful sporting goods store in Elmira and prospered, benefiting financially from the bicycle craze. Shortly after 1900, George Pierce—a Buffalo bicycle entrepreneur and father of the Pierce Arrow—developed a cycle car. This was a four-wheel, bicycle-like vehicle powered by a small gasoline engine. Willys successfully sold these in Elmira and concluded that there was a fortune to be made in the automobile industry. He began selling cars in Elmira in considerable numbers. He selected an Indianapolis-produced make known as American for his expensive car and then sought to sell a lower-priced car. He decided to sell the Overland, a car that originated in Terre Haute but was, by 1906, manufactured in Indianapolis. Willys and E. B. Campbell—a Pennsylvania businessman—presumed they could make a fortune by purchasing the entire automobile output of the Overland and American firms—both located in Indianapolis—and then selling them to retail dealers across the country. They entered into an arrangement to do so.
The stock market crashed on October 22, 1907. David Parry, the chief investor in Overland, lost his wealth, was unable to pay his employees and promptly closed his automobile factory. Willys had invested a substantial fraction of his own money in the purchase of Overland cars, had orders for a substantial number of them and knew that he would lose his fortune if the firm collapsed. He used his own funds to bail out Overland and, by January, 1908, was running the firm and turning out cars.
Willys was not only an effective promoter and salesman but, apparently, greatly enjoyed the financial aspects of the auto industry. By 1909, he not only produced Overlands in Indianapolis, but also at a plant in Marion, Indiana. Sales rose and he knew he needed a much bigger facility to turn out the cars he was selling. He considered building a new factory in Indianapolis and purchased land, but then learned that Albert Pope had been wiped out in the 1907 market crash. Pope was a highly successful bicycle entrepreneur who got into the automobile business in the 1890s. He experimented with electric, steam and gasoline propulsion and built small numbers of cars at several locations east of the Mississippi. After 1903, he concentrated on producing the gasoline powered Pope-Toledo cars and was so successful that he secured financing to build a large plant in Toledo, Ohio. This plant became available to John Willys for very little money in 1908. Willys quickly purchased the Pope-Toledo factory and shifted production. The rest is history. Willys, Overland, Jeep and a variety of other marques have been built in great numbers on the banks of the Maumee for almost one hundred years.
Willys successfully produced a high-quality car priced slightly above Henry Ford’s Model T. By 1912, Willys trailed only Ford in sales and, in that year, the building you see above was built in Detroit to serve as a sales office. Given its large size, I presume that Willys used the structure as regional repair and parts center. Willys and successor firms occupied this building until about 1953.
Willys expanded his automobile plants in Toledo. By 1914, he had a large campus of factories that exceeded, in size, the Highland Park complex of Henry Ford. Willys also purchased a variety of other auto manufacturers, including Duesenberg, truck firms, as well as many parts suppliers and a farm implement company. By the late teens, he was producing a variety of makes in several locations including Toledo, Elyria and Pontiac. In 1916, Willys produced 143,000 vehicles. During World War I, auto production slowed but Willys-Overland produced aircraft engines, military vehicles and munitions for the government.
Although Willys cars—produced under a variety of names such as Willys-Knight; Willys-Overland, Overland, and Whippet—sold in considerable numbers, his bankers thought the firm was fiscally shaky so they insisted, in 1920, that he surrender control to Walter P. Chrysler who had been previously served as president of GM’s Buick subsidiary. Willys went into receivership in 1921 but its financial difficulties were resolved and sales increased reaching 184,000 in 1927. The next year, Willys trailed only Ford and Chevrolet in sales. Chrysler quickly moved on from Willys to start his own automobile company. John Willys regained control of his firm but retired in 1929. The next year President Hoover appointed him ambassador to Poland.
The Depression severely curtailed automobile production and Willys discontinued manufacturing cars in 1933. Subsequently, the bankruptcy court allowed the firm to produce small numbers if and when they had orders. In 1934, the firm built just 6,600 cars. Willys returned to his firm in hopes of keeping them in business, but died in 1935. The firm was reorganized once again in 1936 and gathered resources to design several modern, streamlined cars with striking shark noses and alligator grills. These were produced from 1936 to 1941 but in modest numbers since the Depression continued to keep prospective customers impoverished. In 1937, Willys built just 13,000 cars.
The German’s successful invasion of France saved the Willys corporation and explains why Toledo today is one of the world’s leading centers for vehicle production. The armies of the German National Socialists easily conquered their eastern European neighbors, including Poland, and took over Norway extremely rapidly. British and US leaders and military officials presumed that if the Germans invaded France they would meet their match and get bogged down in a long, costly war. On May 10th, 1940 the German armies marched into France. By June 22, the Germans destroyed much of the French military and controlled that nation. Strategists in the Pentagon were shocked by the German’s ability to quickly defeat one of the world’s leading military powers. Destroying the French military machine so quickly was unthinkable. They presumed that the Germans either had or soon would take the sturdy Volkswagon and convert it into an all-purpose military vehicle. On June 19, 1940, the Pentagon asked American manufacturers to design a general purpose four-wheel drive vehicle with high road clearance, off-road abilities, a powerful engine, a short 80-inch wheel base and a total weight of 590kg. A prototype had to be delivered to the Pentagon within 50 days for testing. Dodge and GM did not compete because their engineers could not satisfy the weight limit. Willys, Ford and the Bantam Car Company got their prototypes to the Pentagon within the time limit.
While the vehicles looked quite similar, the surprise was the engineering quality of the entry designed by the small and little known Bantam Car Company of Butler, Pennsylvania. In 1921, Britain imposed high taxes on gasoline and then taxed vehicles according to their horsepower. Sir Herbert Austin designed a small car to maximize performance but minimize its owner’s taxes. The Austin Seven proved to be a very popular car but a lightweight one: 600 kg. By 1927, Austin was selling this mini-car in many countries. The US was the next market. Austin displayed his attractive but tiny car at the 1930 New York Auto show and soon accepted orders for 52,000 of them. At this time, financial and political leaders assured Americans that the stock market crash of October, 1929 would not slow down the economy. Austin wanted production facilities in the US and sought bids. A group from Butler, Pennsylvania—located between Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland in the heart of the industrial belt—won. Austin began assembling cars there but the full consequences of the Depression soon became apparent and, by 1934, American Austin was out of business.
Roy Evans purchased what remained of Austin from the bankruptcy and used their facilities for his Bantam Car Company. Capitalizing upon Austin’s ideas, his engineers designed an attractive but very small car for the US market: a 75-inch wheelbase and a 600 kg weight, but with a streamlined Art Deco body. The Depression kept sales very low, but 6,000 were produced in 1939. At this time, auto and trucks were designed to travel on roads. However, the Bantam Car Company began experimenting with an all-purpose vehicle that might be used by the Pennsylvania National Guard. Presumably, they built three prototypes of such a vehicle. This experience—and their familiarity with designing light weight, short wheelbase cars—helped them to successfully compete with Willys and Ford for the Pentagon contract.
Pentagon designers insisted that the best features of the three prototypes be merged into one vehicle and, in November, 1940, ordered 1,500 each from Bantam Car, Ford and Willys. In July, 1941—still six months before Pearl Harbor and the US entry into World War II—the Pentagon ordered 15,000 from Willys. By this time, they realized that the small Bantam Car facilities could not keep up with the military’s demand for Jeeps. In November, 1940; the Pentagon ordered 16,000 from Ford and then centralized production in Toledo and Dearborn. The Pentagon terminated production at Bantam Car Company facilities after about 2,700 were built. In 1943, that car company sued Willys, contending that Willys falsely claimed to have designed and invented the Jeep. Federal courts sided with Bantam and supported their claim about designing the Jeep, but it was a pyrrhic victory and the firm never again produced motor vehicles.
After World War II, Ford quickly switched its emphasis back to cars, while Willys continued to manufacture Jeeps and trucks, primarily for the military. Gradually, they learned that the favorable experiences American soldiers had with the Jeep meant there was a domestic market they could tap. Using the Jeep chassis and engine, they produced three versions for the public: ya Jeep truck, a Jeep station wagon and the Willys Jeepster shown in the picture. Willys also tried to reenter the automobile market. B 1951 there were selling a small and bland looking Willys Aero—a car much less stylish than the impressive but unsuccessful line they introduced in 1956. Willys produced relatively few cars between 1929 and 1951, so their dealer network was weak. Jeeps were popular but the Willys automobile line was terminated in 1953. The Korean War—1950 to 1952—boosted Willys’ production of military vehicles.
In 1953, the Kaiser company purchased Willys and used the Toledo plants to build engines for their new small car: the Henry J. This was also sold by Sears-Roebuck under the Allstate marque—the final car in a long series of autos that Sears tried to market. Willy’s production was also sustained, after 1960, by sales of many vehicles to the US Postal Service. The American Motors Company—a firm descended from the merger of Hudson with Nash-Kelvinator—purchased the Willys facilities and product line-up in 1970. Chrysler, in 1987, purchased the Willys component of AMC greatly strengthening sales of the Jeep line because of the Chrysler dealer network. In 1992, a component of the Jeep line was built in the city of Detroit when Chrysler’s new Jefferson Avenue plant began turning out Jeep Cherokees. In 1998 Daimler-Benz purchased Chrysler. Is it ironic that a Stuttgart firm now derives a substantial share of their income and profit from selling a vehicle designed to defeat the Wermacht?
After 1953, the building you see was used by the Davidson Wholesale Dry Good firm, by Federal Department Stores and as a warehouse by the Detroit Public Schools. You do not have to look took closely to see a legible but faded sign on the northeast corner advertising the Willys-Knight and the Overland. Given the tremendous financial difficulties of Willys in the 1930s, I suspect this sign dates from the late 1920s.

US seeks to keep communication with Russia over Syria ongoing – White House
“It's important and crucial that we keep lines of communication open to deconflict potential issues,” Sean Spicer told reporters on Monday.
While seeking to keep contacts between the US and Russian military ongoing, the US-led coalition emphasized that it retains the right to “self-defense” amid the news and added tensions, the spokesman added.
Spicer’s statement echoed the comments made earlier on Monday by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Marine General Joseph Dunford, who said the US is working to reestablish communications with Russia in Syria, aimed at preventing possible incidents between the two countries’ troops.
“We'll work diplomatically and military in the coming hours to reestablish deconfliction,” Dunford said at a news conference, adding, that the contacts between Russian forces in Syria and a US air operations center in Qatar were still open as of Monday morning.
Moscow announced on Monday afternoon the decision to pause cooperation with its American counterparts in the framework of the Memorandum on the Prevention of Incidents and Ensuring Air Safety in Syria following the coalition’s downing of a Syrian Su-22 warplane on Sunday.
“In the areas of combat missions of Russian air fleet in Syrian skies, any airborne objects, including aircraft and unmanned vehicles of the [US-led] international coalition, located to the west of the Euphrates River, will be tracked by Russian ground and air defense forces as air targets,” the Russian Ministry of Defense stated, condemning the downing of the Su-22 jet as a “cynical” violation of Syria’s sovereignty.
The US military did not use the communication line with Russia during the attack on the Syrian Su-22, despite the fact that Russian warplanes were in the area during the US strike, the ministry underlined.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov branded the attack on the Syrian jet as an act of aggression which in fact helped the terrorists the US says its trying to destroy.
The US-led coalition shot-down the Syrian Su-22 warplane on Sunday, when it was carrying out operations against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) some 40km from Raqqa, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The US military, however, claimed that the jet “dropped bombs near” US-backed Kurdish SDF militants. The pilot ejected from the plane above IS-controlled territory and is still missing.
The recent developments in Syria, specifically the shooting down the Syrian Su-22 by the US-led coalition, as well as the Iranian missile strike on IS terrorists’ positions, heightens the risk of escalating the Syrian conflict, the UN warned on Monday.
“It does bring up more broadly a deep concern about the risk of possible miscalculation and escalation in the conflict in Syria. We believe that this risk is heightened when efforts to combat [IS] and other listed terrorists groups are not combined with a pursuit of a comprehensive political solution to the Syrian conflict, based on the relevant Security Council resolutions,” Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary General told reporters at a news briefing. | <urn:uuid:95d1569b-1146-4b42-8e52-d97607d485db> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.rt.com/usa/393133-us-russia-communication-syria/ | 2018-12-17T02:48:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376828056.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20181217020710-20181217042710-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.95373 | 669 |

A teacher at a Pennsylvania middle school has been placed on administrative leave after a viral Facebook video showed her calling a black man the N-word and using other derogatory language in the school's parking lot. In the video, a teacher at Drexel Hill Middle School in Pennsylvania, is seen scrubbing at the rear bumper of a red pickup truck with her sleeve after a car crash in the school's parking lot. The school confirmed reports that the teacher's name is Renee Greeley.
As I said, I haven’t used the platform in a matter of years - but the sentimental value of this part of the website is so high for me that it’s painful to see this happen. I still vividly remember the moment I saw her post and felt such a surge of excitement - and an even greater one when she emailed me back. So to see this disappear has me bummed out for no rational reason at all. Sorry if that doesn’t do anything for the question. I just needed to get that out. | <urn:uuid:574bc8c5-3a25-4b2a-ad3d-852fd212a2dd> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://meetkylie.com/personals/why-did-craigslist-remove-personals-is-bumble-for-serious-relationships.html | 2019-11-15T03:42:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668561.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115015509-20191115043509-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.940803 | 763 |

Krautrock connoisseurs Earthless command a ceaseless psychedelic voyage through the cosmos
San Diego krautrock connoisseurs Earthless are a long way from base tonight. Not only is there a great distance between the stage where they stand and their homeland, but from the outset, the trio ascend star-ward for a ceaseless psychedelic voyage through the cosmos, without ever looking back at the pale blue dot.
Before this, Ruby the Hatchet crack open the eve with a mighty thwack. Faces masked by hair, studded leather jackets, contorting stage moves, Zappa-taches: we are safely and visually in the realms of rock. The Philadelphia-based five-piece paint with liberal lashings of doom and the occult: grunging riffs, seedy basslines, sinister organ tremors and shapeshifting percussion.
Frontwoman Jillian Taylor’s marching menace, with both vocals and presence, is supreme; seldom is she without a gesture, action or snarl, but always is her face cloaked by her feral blonde locks. The harmonies Taylor and drummer Owen Stewart share feel like words of warning, as though they're sage sufferers of an eternal inferno. Sean Hur’s organ bashing comes to a crashing end when his stand collapses mid-song, but he embraces the challenge imposed by the absent structural integrity and crumples to the floor to finish the punishment he started.
“It’s great to be back in this wonderful city,” murmurs Earthless’ frontman and guitarist Isaiah Mitchell as they tune up for their inaugural cut. This is the last vocal offering for some time. The wailing whammy and greasy-blues bass of Uluru Rock allows them to gently lure the audience off-world. But before long their instrumental hypnosis goes from zero to turbo.
It's less a gig and more a ticketed jam – a sprawling one at that. Breaking free from their sonic trance in order to take stock of the scene, we find that 15 minutes have elapsed without a song change, no one present is blinking and everyone is nodding like an army of indoctrinated bobbleheads.
Silence and respite between tracks are not on offer. Interims are filled with throbbing feedback or samples of the Space Age or both, keeping their spell cast end-to-end. Gifted by the Wind (the set’s fourth cut, around the 40-minute mark) finally introduces vocals into the mix and a sense of re-engagement from the audience is felt when the first syllable is uttered.
Vocals aren't really part of their modus operandi, but Mitchell’s voice is greatly underutilised. It adds a texture missing from their sound and serves as a channel for the audience to tap into with ease. Yes, the trio’s prowess at the helm of their own instruments is impressive, but because they soar so high so soon, the set plateaus on an astral plain and has no space left to travel. Their cover of Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown for the encore (granted it would’ve disturbed their cosmic flow had it been earlier in the set) proves they're capable of fully engaging the crowd. Faultless, no. Relentless, yes. Earthless, indeed. | <urn:uuid:59ed2612-da6b-4e33-90d2-e009153539f1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.jamesewen.co.uk/post/earthless-w-ruby-the-hatchet-album-review | 2021-10-27T01:12:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587963.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026231833-20211027021833-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.940912 | 694 |

At your consultation, we will determine the best treatment plan to get rid of your acne and scarring and ensure that once the blemishes disappear, the skin beneath is vibrantly healthy.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any local Sparkpeople meetings in Surrey UK or else would be interested to form one.
I live near Weybridge, Surrey and there are currently a few of Weight Watchers and Slimming World meetings. They are ok but Sparkpeople is much better, less about the method (or the money) and more about motivation, support and a healthy lifestyle. So I wondered if there are already any such meetings or if people would be interested to create/join one.
Anyway, hope you all have a great, healthy day today!

Gloucester County's first death from swine flu has been confirmed as a 66-year-old Clayton man who died in June.
The man, who died one day after being admitted on June 23 to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, has not been identified.
There was an underlying medical condition which was not disclosed, according to county spokeswoman Debra Sellitto.
Following the man's death, tests were conducted at a Pennsylvania public health lab to confirm if the man had died from the H1N1 virus.
The death was reported Wednesday by the New Jersey Department of Health and Human Services on its Web site.
Gloucester County officials first learned of it today. Sellitto said she had no other information.
The state has now reported 16 deaths from swine flu and confirmed 977 cases. There have been 15 confirmed cases in the county, including the death.
Salem and Cumberland counties have had three and 17 confirmed cases respectively. No deaths have been reported in those counties.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
The Gloucester County Department of Health encourages residents to follow the CDC Guidelines to take everyday actions to stay healthy. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Stay home if you get sick. The CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. | <urn:uuid:3905fa3d-2a32-430d-acad-8d009439f416> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.nj.com/gloucester-county/index.ssf/2009/08/gloucester_countys_first_death.html | 2016-07-01T02:55:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783399522.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154959-00075-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983965 | 345 |
Ranking Our High Schools
Check out profiles of Montgomery County high schools, and rankings across several performance categories. Plus: How do county schools stack up in the national rankings?
There’s a ranking for pretty much everything these days—and none are more popular (and controversial) than the rankings of schools. Among school officials and parents, the numerous annual rankings of local public and private high schools are a source of pride and consternation—depending on how your school fares. The rankings are often criticized because the people compiling them have subjective views on what makes a good school. The rankings can vary wildly based on the information that’s used and the weight that each data point is given. Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) compiles an enormous amount of data about its schools and student performance. In the following pages, we present a data profile of eight of the county’s 25 high schools, then rank all the schools in several of the school and student performance categories so our readers can draw their own conclusions.
1. Data on average SAT, AP and IB test scores, graduation rates, and University System of Maryland entrance requirements are from the 2015-2016 school year. Other data are the most current available.
2. Future capacity accounts for expansions or renovations planned through the 2021-2022 school year. *Enrollment is expected to change after the expansion of Seneca Valley High School, set to be completed by September 2020.
3. University System of Maryland entrance requirements include a high school diploma, a cumulative high school grade point average equivalent to a C or better, a score on a nationally standardized test such as the SAT or ACT, and accumulated course credits in English (4 credits), social science/history (3 credits), biological and physical sciences (3 credits), mathematics (4 credits), and world languages or advanced technology (2 credits).
4. Post-graduation plans are self-reported by graduating seniors to the Maryland State Department of Education.
5. MCPS does not specify graduation rates higher than 95 percent or free and reduced-price meals rates lower than 5 percent to comply with federal reporting requirements. | <urn:uuid:20be6d38-8a7a-4bf4-b607-013e36fefa5d> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-magazine/september-october-2017/ranking-our-high-schools/ | 2019-05-26T21:02:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259757.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526205447-20190526231447-00167.warc.gz | en | 0.940108 | 435 |
It’s no accident that Charles Darwin found so much of interest in the Galapagos Islands. Islands are natural laboratories and experimentation is frequent and vivid in isolated environments.
It’s true for human energy consumption as well. Many islands have to import all their fuel, such as Hawaii. There are a lucky few like the Dutch Antilles, where per capita energy consumption is double that of America–731 mbtus per person per year, mostly because they were fortunate enough to find oil and build an oil refinery on Curacao. There are some, like New Zealand, with low populations on the Ring of Fire that might find a fortunate combination of environmentally friendly fuels to serve their needs. And some, like Madagascar, that will be so constrained by poverty as to leave one perplexed on how they will meet their current, let alone their future energy needs.
The Philippine Islands (there are 7,000 of them comprising a land area a bit larger than Arizona) are home to 101 million people. It is considered close to a middle income country, with a GDP of $4,000 per person, but in fact many of the metrics found in the CIA’s World Factbook look more like those of a poor country–maternal mortality, infant mortality–all the aspects of poverty found worldwide in the absence of access to energy. (That’s a concept I’ll be turning to over time, not that it’s something I invented.)
One of their primary natural resources is timber. One of the threats to their environment is deforestation. The Philippines imports 310,000 barrels of oil every day. Oil is expensive, the Filipinos are not rich, the wood gets burned. But the Philippines are also lucky enough to have access to geo-thermal power resources, and 15% of their electricity comes from hydropower.
However, islands have it tough in modern times. Although the Philippines are expected to grow in population from 100 to 140 million by 2030, their GDP is not expected to take off like some of the other countries in Asia. Per capita growth is expected to only have a CAGR of 2.6%.
From the outside, it looks as though a major constraint to development in the Philippines is lack of access to energy. Too much of their money goes to oil imports, they are too poor to really build a renewable infrastructure, every penny they spend on energy is a penny not spent improving the health of their citizens. It’s a trap other islands and isolated communities face, and the partial solution that the Philippines is adopting–a diaspora of workers to countries who need the labor–is a stopgap measure at best.
For the purposes of this blog, the important thing is to note what looks very much like a latent demand for energy–cheap energy–that, if available would trigger a massive spike in energy usage as it powered the Philippines to a rapid development that would catch them up to world standards in a hot heartbeat. I wrote yesterday that the Philippines had a per capita energy consumption of 14 mbtus annually, a scandalously low figure. But the people are too intelligent, literate, active and ambitious to be satisfied with that.
Whether that energy is provided by hydro, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, wind or fossil fuels, they will get the energy they need. | <urn:uuid:65e40182-d50b-4570-822d-6675c2a70df3> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.solarfeeds.com/the-philippines-and-energy/ | 2015-09-05T10:16:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440646242843.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827033042-00109-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965458 | 686 |

The latest ToeHeads to come on the scene are brothers. These 2 characters are large-scale cutouts on reclaimed wood that has been salvaged from an old secretary’s desk. With freshly sanded walnut surfaces, these colorful siblings have plenty of new life to roar about. Of course, we all know that they’re not as ferocious as they might think.
Every group needs a leader. CottonCandy Cow is this for the SnackHacks. Acting as the reluctantly appointed patriarch of the group, CottonCandy Cow tends to stand as the voice of reason for the rest of the SnackHacks. Though he’s not always the most personable soul in the bunch, he’s somehow always leaned on when the going gets tough.
Part Holstein dairy cow, part cotton candy maker, this guy would rather be left alone in his science lab rather than be bothered by other’s issues. And yet, Dr. Cow (Ph.D not M.D.) seems to always be trying to keep the SnackHack’s world from tipping into chaos. | <urn:uuid:77286d8b-1375-4e6d-b7f6-0ef832abced2> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://dgillart.wordpress.com/tag/blue/ | 2020-02-19T11:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144111.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200219092153-20200219122153-00508.warc.gz | en | 0.959374 | 230 |
A new 41-storey, 225-room hotel is to be built in downtown Auckland and will open in 2021.
IHG, which has 47 hotels in Australasia, has signed an agreement with property developers Ninety Four Feet to build Hotel Indigo at a cost of $250 million.
The tower will be mixed use, with residential apartments, restaurants and bars as well as the hotel.
New Zealand's continued growth as a popular travel destination makes Auckland an obvious choice for expansion, says IHG and Ninety Four Feet.
"Auckland is becoming recognised as one of the world's key gateway cities, and is consistently one of the top 10 most liveable in the world," says Dean Rzechta, the managing director for Ninety Four Feet Property Development.
Hotel Indigo will be built on land at 51 Albert Street. A heritage listed building at this address will be restored and incorporated in to the new hotel.
The project currently has consent to build as high as 131 metres. | <urn:uuid:709cc90b-e629-4b4f-80ff-bb5cf4a85525> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/travel/2018/07/ihg-to-open-boutique-hotel-indigo-in-auckland.html | 2019-11-18T08:16:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669730.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118080848-20191118104848-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.965138 | 205 |

SA tops global sex survey on HIV protection
South Africa topped a global sex report on sexual protection against sexually transmitted infections (STI) and HIV/Aids, condom maker Durex said on Thursday.
Durex conducted a global sex report that saw 87% of South Africans feeling confident about protecting themselves against STIs and HIV/Aids.
The study found that most Asian countries fell well behind Western countries—with Thailand and Hong Kong achieving a 65% score of confidence in this area, the lowest out of all the countries surveyed.
South Africa also came in second in understanding the pregnancy risks associated with unprotected sex.
The survey said South Africa was among the top five countries who knew how to have a happy and fulfilling sex life and in knowing where to go for guidance on sex.
The survey also said 82% of South Africans had high overall levels of sexual confidence.
The survey explored sexual confidence among 26 000 people globally.
The research indicated that the average age for South Africans to receive any formal sex education was between 12 and 14 years.
“Although parents and guardians were found to be the most successful confidence boosters, they were only listed as the eighth most likely source of sex education to be approached—falling well behind friends, the most cited source overall, as well as internet and TV. “
The survey showed the contrast between the way men and woman got information about sexual issues.
The report said men were more likely to use the media, magazines, internet, TV and radio, while women, on the other hand, preferred more interpersonal sources, such as parents, partners, family and health clinic doctors.—Sapa | <urn:uuid:da74741c-aee8-4edc-9cb7-234cabf59663> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://mg.co.za/article/2008-07-10-sa-tops-global-sex-survey-on-hiv-protection | 2017-07-23T16:58:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424575.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170723162614-20170723182614-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.966965 | 337 |
What type of wood products are best to use for green kitchen cabinets?
I'm looking for a product that does not offgas or use formaldehyde or oil-based glues in the creation process.
Cabinetry has two primary construction components: the carcass or box and the decorative door and drawer fronts. The boxes are typically made of plywood (with a veneer or melamine interior finish and a veneer exterior finish), particleboard (with a vinyl or melamine interior finish and a veneer exterior finish), or medium density fiberboard (MDF, with a veneer or melamine interior finish and a painted or veneer exterior finish).
Your concern about added formaldehyde is legitimate due to the fact that it is a known carcinogen, but realize that formaldehyde is a chemical compound found in nature, including wood. What you don't want is added formaldehyde.
So if you are making green cabinets yourself or having them custom-made by a local shop, you will want the cabinet-boxes constructed of a no-added-formaldehyde plywood such as PureBond from Columbia Forest Products; a no-added-formaldehyde particleboard such as SkyBlend from Roseburg Forest Products; or Sierra Pine's Arreis MDF.
As for the decorative doors and drawers, there is little variance in natural formaldehyde content between wood species. However, if you are considering a painted cabinet, you will want to select either maple or a no-added-formaldehyde MDF.
With regard to finishing your , the most important aspect of the finish is durability. This has been a tough criterion to meet with most low-VOC finishes (note: stains typically are applied under the finish or, alternatively, you can "tint" the finish for added color enhancement).
It is extremely challenging to get a quality, particle-free, durable finish on cabinetry in a home workshop. A "factory finish" or that provided by a small professional cabinet shop will be far superior to what can be accomplished in the average home workshop.
Considering that cabinetry typically comprises 40% of a kitchen remodel budget and most people want to get the most for their home improvement dollar, my recommendation is that you leave it to the pros. However, if you are set on doing it yourself, consider AFM Safecoat's Safe Seal finish. As for stains, water-based stains such as Saman or Osmo Park Lane stains are good choices.
If you would prefer to work with a production custom manufacturer, you are in luck. The number of environmentally responsible cabinet lines continues to increase each year. Look for manufacturers who hold the Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) certification from the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA).
Lastly, when selecting a manufacturer, look for companies that are reasonably close to your project site so that the delivery of your cabinetry purchase will have the smallest carbon footprint possible.

Edward Akrout, Patrick Altes, Olayanju Dada and Daniel Soresa are featured in "Africa My Africa - Connecting Boundaries", a new exhibition curated by Lahd Gallery and GAFRA, which aims at connecting an "invisible pyramid" that unites North, East and West Africa.
International artists from a variety of mediums including paint, sculpture, audio-visual, and installation have joined together for the joint exhibition Culturelines Sans Frontiers to explore and question cultural boundaries in Greece.
Think you recognise him? You may know Edward for his roles in Mr Selfridge, Midsomer Murders or The Borgias. Or you may know him for his artistic flair- whichever way, there's no getting around this guys artistic talents.
His style tends to show the emotions and personality traits of characters that he's met on his travels in London, Paris and New York but with just a few strokes of the brush or pen.
We don't want to give too much away! Just come let Edward impress you again and again with his work which will be at The Hoxton, Shoreditch until the end of January 2016.
For actor and painter Edward Akrout one life isn't enough. He's a New Yorker, Paris native with Tunisian blood, and currently calls London his home. His paintings were born all over the world during his travels.
And if you were to include the many roles he's inhabited over the course of his career, Akrout has lived more than a normal share of lives.
The corridors of the Hoxtown Gallery are lined with charcoal, ink and acrylic designs, along with larger oil paintings that adorn the foyer. Akrout’s collection of portrait-style drawings set the theme for the affair – this is the first debut of limited edition prints of his artwork, including an exclusive piece for the Hoxton that will be released throughout the company’s hotels internationally.
Akrout has stated his purpose is that of “capturing emotion and movement whilst translating it into the purest and simplest form on paper and canvas.” Akrout aims for his pieces to speak for themselves, connecting emotionally with viewers by representing the essence of universal emotions and characteristics.
There is an unmistakable connection between Akrout’s two chosen disciplines, for as an actor his job is to inhabit different emotional states, and as an artist he has an uncanny ability to capture in only a few strokes of the brush or pen.
The Paris-born master of onscreen dashing/dangerous bad-boys lets his joie de vivre nomad him far and wide – the resulting portmanteau of accents he regularly aces is nothing short of Streep-ian. From philosophy at The Sorbonne and drama at LAMDA to The Borgias and Mr Selfridge, Akrout’s ability to travel boldly in life – and role – is a tour de force.
Whether Akrout is performing on the stage or the screen, donating his time to aid work, or painting in his West London home, he gives his all. You know that he’s authentic, genuinely quirky, and unpretentious, whilst retaining a humble attitude toward others.
Edward Akrout arrives for our photo shoot in the impeccably decorated drawing room of London’s Dorset Square Hotel. The dashing six foot tall actor is quiet and polite, with a charming British accent and wildly unkempt hair. Akrout has been busy making a name for himself with roles in high profile projects like The Borgias (Showtime), The Hollow Crown (BBC) and the recently released Hollywood Western Dead in Tombstone.
It was a busy Sunday night for the members club at Café Royal, the swanky hotel in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. An exclusive crowd including models, socialites, gallerists and art dealers were out in force in support of actor Edward Akrout. Not only was Akrout screening an episode of Mr. Selfridge (in which he stars) but making his debut in the art world.
Edward had accumulated pieces throughout the years, having created them in Paris, New York and at his home in London. Akrout described that even though he was capable of handling the daily rejection and criticism he faced as an actor, the idea of establishing himself within the art community terrified him. This was evidently the most personal venture he’d embarked on. | <urn:uuid:79533d43-a90c-4547-beb7-22db297c9c75> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.edwardakrout.com/press | 2017-11-24T12:56:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808133.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124123222-20171124143222-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.979877 | 925 |

Then my friend told me that her daughter-in-law had given birth and decided on the baby's name so I could start her Birth Sampler. I downloaded the characters from the Nursery theme they are using and charted them and also found a nice font to convert to cross stitch for the name. It's Slavic. They are English and have no connection but liked the name and the meaning. I liked the meaning too so I had to include it. I think it's nice when a name has a special meaning. Started stitching this week too.
Then Sophia's Round Robin finally arrived! She's designed a beautiful Celtic themed Rainbow for us to stitch. I'm the last one so I have 2 shades of yellow. This is one evening's stitching, it's really important to carefully count the first couple of pieces because if you make a mistake here and copy it through the whole thing goes to pot:
Not a start, but a progress picture on my Scarlet Letter Sampler for Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year Challenge. I'm stitching an English Transitional Sampler on 35count linen using AVAS for the first time. I thought the coverage was lovely but the thread wasn't lasting very well. Then I re-read the instructions - "on 35count use 2 strands" (so far so good) "of cotton". oops. Last sentence "use one strand of silk throughout". | <urn:uuid:dc8959e6-794b-40a2-9c7e-7c9129a1088d> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2013/02/some-new-starts.html | 2019-02-17T16:19:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247482186.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190217152248-20190217174248-00364.warc.gz | en | 0.970346 | 283 |

Ironically, dry eye can be a rather slippery disease. Its etiology isn’t consistent in every case, and the damage dryness causes to biological structures can make them even more susceptible to further damage. A team of Finnish researchers are hoping to put a stop to this vicious cycle with a sacha inchi microemulsion (SIME) drop.1
Sacha inchi, a perennial plant native to tropical South America, produces seeds rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that have piqued researchers’ interests in recent years. While this study used 0.1% seed oil, the entire plant has been used in clinical research to create nutritional, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.2
Their research thus far, published in Acta Ophthalmology, shows the drop is safe and efficacious in improving each etiologic factor for dry eye disease (DED) as revealed through objective tests. The idea is that the formulation can disrupt that self-perpetuating cycle of dryness via biophysical protection of the ocular surface, facilitating the body’s ability to resolve cellular damage and inflammation, ultimately leading to a relief of symptoms.1
The research was based on the 2017 Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society’s (TFOS) Dry Eye Workshop II (DEWS II) report and its updated pathophysiology of DED. That report points to a three-part chain of causative events: (1) tear film instability, causing and accompanied by (2) localized hyperosmolarity, leading to (3) epithelial damage and inflammation. Armed with this information, the investigators speculated that it would “be possible to design a locally acting treatment modality which attenuates all etiologic factors simultaneously,” the article explains. “Targeting one etiologic segment alone might make it less likely ‘to prevent a return to the vicious circle’” of dry eye.1
The team decided to explore the potential of a multi‐ingredient SIME eye drop designed to target (1) tear film instability, (2) tear hyperosmolarity and (3) ocular surface damage and inflammation in moderate or severe dry eye. The study looked at 64 adults. It first tested one eye of each patient with SIME for one day, then treated randomized eyes with SIME and a 0.2% hyaluronic acid (HA) control eye drop three times a day for 10 days. A final part used that same randomized treatment on both eyes three times a day for 30 days.1
The investigators tested for superiority of SIME over HA using the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and other ocular assessments. When treated with SIME and a 0.2% HA control eye drop three times a day for 10 days, mean tear break-up time (TBUT) increased by 134% in eyes with SIME and by 105% with HA by the tenth day. Blink rate decreased from 19.2±7.4 to 12.9±4.4min−1. Ocular protection index (OPI) increased in both eyes by 59% with SIME and by 41% with HA.1
In the third part of the test, TBUT increased significantly—by approximately 50%—in subjects using SIME compared with only 25% (insignificant) in the HA controls. OPI also improved significantly by 57% with SIME—it was only a 4% improvement using the HA drops.1
“The lipid component with sacha inchi is a novel supplement which improves ocular surface protection and tear film characteristics in addition to HA, trehalose and glycerol,” the study authors conclude in their paper.1

I also am ending my teaching career so have so much to do, hard to sort through 35 years of junk.only 5 in VA so this is second sort through but you would be surprise how quickly art teachers collect stuff they know can be turned into something grand! It is so hard to throw things away! This is also the latest school year I’ve ever taught in 35 years!
Also was fun to see Oneida (my house in MI we still own) I had the rooms painted (picked the colors from afar) and I was in for shock when I went back to MI, I had lived in the house with creme colored walls for over 15 years so was shock to see them in color, also have discovered WOW paint sure looks different on walls then on the sample cards. lol lol Luckily the kids all liked the choices so down the road I’m sure I will too!

Confessions On Hygiene
I have a confession. This is where I assume that what is said here stays here and no judgement. Ok? I am not the cleanliest (most clean?) girl. I shower probably twice a week. I have mastered the art of letting a good hair flat ironing lasting me 3-4 days. I own a shower cap for just those days when I have straightened but don’t want to repeat that 2 hour process that is straightening my hair. When the hair is done I can jump from bed throw clothes on and look presentable on days 2 and 3.
The other day my mom came over and proceeded to clean most off my entire house. She is amazing like that. No, you can’t have her. She’s all mine. However, she asked to take a quick shower before we ran to a dinner event that evening. She got in my shower and asked where the body wash was. I pointed her to my husbands manly wash and the look she gave me expressed how much she wasn’t digging it. I then told her I don’t really use body wash.
Why? I don’t know why, it just feels like its one more step in the daily routine that isn’t necessary. I bathe in soapy bubbly water. I shampoo and it all washes down. It takes to much time I would rather spend reading or watching tv.
My mom then scolded me in a tone I would only take from my mom, That is Not Good Enough. Now, my mom can be quite bossy sometimes. I like bossy people apparently, because one of my Best friends always claims she is bossy. The bossiness that I get used to becomes apparent in our house with the phrase “Debbie says.”
Why do you clean with such weird products? Debbie says. Why do you do laundry that way? Debbie says. Good or bad, the list has added up over the years. Why do you need to go out and discover the best body wash the world has to offer? Debbie says.
So the morning after the body wash incident, I got a package. This particular package I had forgotten entirely about. 9 bottles of soft scrub, one in each scent, at my door step. I laughed at the irony in the timing. I took a picture and said. I needed body wash and The universe delivered.
We both tried it out. It smells great, and cleans great. Hey I might even remember to use it, if your lucky. Its even good enough for my mom, and thats saying something.
If you would like to have your own special body wash delivery, leave me a comment telling me what scent you would like to try. There is also a printable coupon available.

Smoove - First Class
Smoove – First Class
Smoove is the archetypal B Boy made good. Despite his huge international success with Smoove & Turrell and his ability to craft jazz, soul, latin, hip hop and funk into world beating dancefloor killers, Smoove can still be found every weekend playing live behind the decks in Germany, Russia, Italy, UK or wherever his diary tells him he has to go.
The endless flights, trains and hotel rooms are dead time to some DJ’s but Smoove is always creating new tunes for his set on the fly and working his different influences into the remixes and productions he is currently on. There were at least 40 remixes that could have been included on this album but in the end he chose the ones that worked best together and made the album flow like one of his legendary DJ sets.
Frist Class is out Jalapeno Records, UK’s longest running independent dance labels combining all types of genres which are all linked by one simple fact -> It’s got to have the funk!Therefore it’s no wonder that also remixes of Smoove’s label collegues can be found on this album like the the one for Kraak & Smaak “Call Up To Heaven”, which is available for free download:
Besides that, the album contains a number of exclusives including the remix of the new Third Degree track and a killer remix of Afrka Bambataa, Charlie Funk and King Kamonzi.
With “First Class” Smoove once again proved the he is one of the best producers out there when it comes to funky music. The production skills are very versatile as he jumps from disco to funk, jazz to soul, hip hop to house and back again. For me the album “First Class” is definitely one of my Top 3 releases in 2012.
Here’s a little preview of the album: | <urn:uuid:a908daf2-bb24-4e69-be5a-5cafc7f4e8e5> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.djexceedmusic.com/2012/11/30/smoove-first-class/ | 2014-09-02T18:50:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535922763.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20140909051014-00266-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965248 | 414 |
Camp Pioneer in Beverly is receiving a facelift on its lower site as the ground is being prepared for the creation of an equestrian center.
Tracy Walker, director of the project, said the steel structure will be 120 by 250 feet, open-sided and will feature lights inside. Presently, only preparation of the ground is underway, but she said construction of the building will take place soon, with plans to complete the project by spring.
"This will be one of the primary riding arenas in the state," Walker said.

The project is being completed entirely by volunteers. Participants not pictured are Greg Mallow, Kevin Ogden and 4-H Camp Manager Donnie Pritt.
Work has only taken place for approximately a week, with six volunteers working 12 hours each day. Various equipment has been donated from Polino Contracting, including a bulldozer, excavator, backhoe, dump truck and roller, to be used through completion of the project, Walker said.
With both land preparation and building construction, the project will be completed entirely by volunteers. Walker praised their expertise, saying that each volunteer is either a retired or current professional in this line of work.
Funding for the project has been received primarily from two sources, a private donation of $250,000 and a Randolph County Commission of $25,000, Randolph County Commissioner Mike Taylor said.
The name of the private donor has not been released at this time.
In addition, Walker said Gutman Oil is providing fuel for the construction machinery at cost.
Construction of the equestrian center is part of a five-year plan for Camp Pioneer. Other scheduled improvements, to be completed when additional funding is acquired, include the expansion of camping areas and continued renovation of buildings at the site.

I got it.
It's free in Canada.....well it was on my Lariat, Sport, Ultimate, Tremor F350.
But yes i noticed when i built the same truck on the US site it was $1000.....not sure why the difference.
But yes i thought why not if it's free, it sounds like it should work well.
I did not pay extra for adaptive steering. Adaptive cruise, on the other hand cost $740 extra, and that is pretty slick. I got the Lariat Ultimate package and maybe that was part of the package.
I heard both good and bad from the video reviews. I did place my order with it. My current 350 crew cab is a handful to drive at slow speeds but is ok on Highway. So I am hopeful the system will give me nice feel of the road at highway speeds and ease the parking.What are you guys thinking adaptive steering is? It is definitely a 1000 add. It changes the steering ratios to allow the vehicle to turn more with less steering wheel rotations. I am thinking there might be some confusion among us.
Makes the truck easier to drive and park. My past 1 ton 4x4 were hard to drive and park. The option is worth every penny. I like the road feel when going down the highway at speeds and the ease of tight parking or the sharp turn at my boat launchWhy do you love it????
This is the first time I have has the feature so I am not use to it. I feel the wheel shake when I come over the line but I think it's me trying not to make the wheel shake | <urn:uuid:c18acf41-21de-4838-93ea-d970dd64c882> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/adaptive-steering-like-it-or-hate-it-is-worth-the.172/ | 2021-09-17T19:23:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055775.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917181500-20210917211500-00289.warc.gz | en | 0.969074 | 333 |

HISTORY OF LEMON BAY
In 1926, Englewood FL was hit by a hurricane. Bert Anger purchased a portion of land on Lemon Bay and built a home near a protected area off of Lemon Bay. As Lemon Bay grew, Bert’s front porch became a gathering spot, therefore he started to market items. This business continued to grow until a fire in 1949. This is where the Englewood Fire Department was started. Bert rebuilt the houses that were lost and a store where True Value Hardware sits today. In 1990 a pharmacy was added which is now the rental portion of True Value Hardware.
With a growing family, Bert built smaller cottages for them as they grew around the main home. Many of those homes are still visible from the Marina.
In the early 1940’s, Bert had built small cottages and rented them to Fisherman. This started docking for small boats. By the early 1950’s, it became a working boat yard named Bert Angers Boat Way. Bert was always into buying and selling real-estate and the Boat Way Marina was sold. Over the years, the most notable owners include Del Branble of Englewood Boats and Motors, David Allen of the Boat Center, and Mark LaPrade of Thunder Marine.
Purchased in 2002, Thunder Marine and Service was conducted from the location. In 2004 Mark decided to completely refurbish the existing facility and add a new dry storage building. Under his development company, the name was changed from Thunder Marine to Harbor at Lemon Bay. Portions of the marina were offered as rackominuims along with leasing.
Today Harbor at Lemon Bay offers concierge service, call ahead launching, cleaning, fueling, along with mechanical service, fish cleaning station, showers, and work rack amenities. Indoor storage up to 42 feet and wet storage to 50 feet. Giving boaters the ultimate choice at the friendliest and cleanest facility around. Rated as one of the top 25 Marinas in the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Harbor at Lemon Bay will help with your every boating need. This year (2016) we are pleased to announce that we are introducing Carefree Boat Club of Englewood to our facility.
HISTORY OF BOCA GRANDE
Boca Grande in Spanish Means Big Mouth which came from the waterway at the southernmost tip called Boca Grande Pass. This waterway was used as a busy shipping area for loading processed phosphate via Charlotte Harbor and the Northern Railroad. The railroad was completed in 1907, not only did it bring phosphate, it also attracted wealthy people from the North to visit. The railroad continued to bring visitors to the island until the causeway was built in 1958. The phosphate port closed in 1979.
One of the iconic structures is the Range Light just south of First Street on the Gulf Side of the Island. Built in 1881 and used in Lewes, Delaware and was decommissioned in 1918. It was then moved by rail to Boca Grande and reassembled in 1927. The light was relit in 1932 and continues to remain in service.
Boca Grande Light House located at the very most southern tip was built in 1890 and is the oldest building on the Island. It is not a functioning Light house, but is now a museum opened to the public.
Tarpon Capital of the world has put Boca Grande on the map. People come from all over to participate in the fight of catching these magnificent “Silver King” fish. The pass becomes silver when these fish roll in the waves and boats flock to see. The tournaments usually occur around Mother’s Day. Tarpon will usually stay in the pass until late June. It’s a sight to see even from the beach.
This Island is great for exploring the Beautiful beaches to the huge Banyan trees that are over 100 years old. I suggest renting a golf cart or bicycle and take the day to shop, eat, and sight see.
Pink Elephant - Accessible by boat and by car, rave reviews on yelp and offers year round service.
Boca Grande Marina - Formerly known as Millers marine is accessible by water or by car. Offers to two dining rooms. Millers Dockside and Grill located downstairs next to the docks and Eagle Grill located upstairs for finer dining. They also have a ship store, golf cart, and bicycle rentals.
South Beach - Located on the very tip of the Island on the gulf side. Order your cocktail and walk down to the beautiful white sandy beach.
HISTORY OF CAYO COSTA STATE PARK
Located 4 Nautical miles west of Pine Island, Cayo Costa is one of the largest barrier Islands in Florida. It’s only accessible by boat and is served by private ferry from the nearby Pine Island. Before the arrival of Europeans more than 4,000 years ago. This Island served Native American Fishing cultures. Several of their shell mounds are still found on Cayo Costa which means “Key by the Coast”. In the early 1800’s Spanish fisherman from Cuba caught and dried fish that were then transported to Cuban markets. Approximately 20 fishing families lived on Cayo Costa where they established a school, a post office, and a grocery store in the early 1900’s. This island is great for fishing, swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and shelling. Also you may see pods of dolphin and manatee in the waters around this 2,426-acre park. There are nature trails that crisscross the island and provide hiking and off road bicycling. You can also rent cabins and tents for an overnight stay on the Island.
HISTORY OF CABBAGE KEY
Located on the Pine Island directly across from Marker #60. 20 miles NW of Ft. Myers and 5 miles south of Boca Grande. This beautiful untouched Island is 100 acres with a restaurant, Inn, and Cottages. The restaurant is famous for their Cheeseburgers and Walls made of Money. It’s tradition when you visit to stick a dollar on the wall. Explore this Island with it’s beautiful vegetation and its natural wilderness.
HISTORY OF VENICE
Venice was first settled in 1870 by Robert Rickford Roberts. He established 121-acre homestead on the south end of the bay which was named after him. Originally called “Horse and Chaise” because of the carriage like tree formation that marked the spot for fisherman. In 1888 the city received its official name by Frank Higel. It was named after the famous Canal City in Italy, Venice.
Snake Island. Small Island located at the mouth the Venice Inlet better known as the Venice Jetty. This little Island does not have restrooms, power, or running water. It’s so small you can probably throw a coconut across the to the other side with ease. However, this Island becomes a social hangout don’t be surprised if you find people camping out for the weekend. Contrary to its name it’s not infested with snakes.

Please take a moment to browse through our services, and then call to schedule a personal guided tour of our services and facilities. What is Premiere Flight Management? A total concierge-style battery of services awaits you at Premiere. Premiere Flight Management offers top quality services for aircraft needs at all levels. Our Total Management Concept is designed to serve your needs at your pace, and within your budget. With Premiere Flight Management, your participation in our program effectively hires a personalized management team with the same goals and dedication as your own employees. We work for YOU, and out top priority is to carefully guard your interests, give you pampered service, and enhance YOUR bottom line! Aircraft Management Aircraft ownership is expensive. Corporations have recognized this fact for years and professionally managed aircraft ownership programs have become a next-generation solution to the rising costs of aircraft ownership. Premiere Flight Management’s program allows aircraft owners to enjoy all the benefits of ownership while the critical factors of owning the aircraft are professionally managed and maintained. Our position as a full service FBO, property management office, and maintenance facility allows us to offer our services at prices considerably lower than our competition. In addition, our services include a program for offsetting the cost of ownership by leasing excess flight time to other companies, which can actually turn your asset into an additional profit center for your business. Putting Your Aircraft to Work for You Premiere Flight Management takes the needs of today’s corporate aircraft owner and addresses the most important factor: your bottom line. The tasks of finding a hangar, insurance, scheduling, maintenance, and record-keeping are now professionally managed by our expert staff, in addition to the sale of flight time in your aircraft to help offset your total cost of ownership. Our Total Aircraft Management Program handles all the details! The critical feature of our program is, of course, our ability to reduce your operating costs AND return income to you on the performance of your aircraft. Premiere Flight Management’s extensive network allows us to market your unused flight time to potential clients needing private jet service. We sell flight time to these clients, and present you a substantial cash return on the time your aircraft would have been sitting on the ground otherwise! Since the majority of aircraft expenses are calculated hourly, the more flight time an aircraft has, the less per hour it costs to operate. If you fly the same amount of time each year, but increase the time your airplane flies while it is at work for you, your usage cost goes down AND you get a return on the rental rate! Maintenance One of the obvious yet critical components of aircraft ownership is qualified maintenance. From oil changes to avionics to major engine overhauls, Premiere Aviation is ready to handle your aircraft service needs. Our well-equipped maintenance facility is conveniently located right next to the FBO, and our full line of services is available to accommodate single engine prop, turbine, and jet aircraft.

It's getting harder and harder to find these beautiful old fabric covered treasures with their lovely ribbon flowers and metallic lace. And this hand mirror is not only an uncommon piece, but it looks as if it has been safely packed away for many years. A really special find.
CONDITION is just grand. The pink fabric is still deliciously pink, the lace and gimp all there, and the flowers are as fresh as you would like them to be... including the little ones ringing the deeply beveled mirror. The only condition exception would be some hazing and spots on the mirror glass itself. Please look at the photographs. Measures 14" long and 7" at the widest point across the mirror.
If you love these old metallic lace vanity pieces... if your dresser stands empty, awaiting just such a treasure... look no further.

The ability to move goods in and out of China by air could hinge on the willingness of freighter aircraft pilots to fly into key industrial cities where the coronavirus is prevalent. All-cargo carriers are filling some of the lost capacity associated with the pull down of most international passenger flights to China, and are taking protective measures to alleviate concerns of jittery crews.
On Wednesday, the union representing UPS (NYSE: UPS) pilots said it had reached an agreement with the company giving members the ability to voluntarily decide whether to accept flights in and out of China. Pilots can take a personal leave day for trips containing a flight segment connecting through mainland China, the Independent Pilots Association said in a statement.
Safety concerns are also top of mind for pilots at Atlas Air (NASDAQ: AAWW), where pilots are also operating on a voluntary basis, Robert Kirchner, the trustee for Local 2750 of the Teamsters union, told FreightWaves.
“Anyone of our crew members so far that has shown any apprehension about going over there is taken off the trip,” he said in a phone interview. “When crews go over there, we worry about two things: their physical safety and their mental state. You can imagine that a pilot who is distressed and upset is not somebody you want at the controls.”
Kirchner said newer pilots that have not experienced international pandemics are more likely to opt out of China flights compared with older pilots who have been through similar situations with SARS, Ebola and other outbreaks.
There are more than 564 confirmed deaths in China from the flu-like coronavirus and 28,000 confirmed cases. Based on confirmed and suspected cases, Cowan brokerage analysts estimate the spread of the disease is tracking to infect at least 85,000 people. Chinese authorities are taking extraordinary measures to contain the new virus, including locking down Wuhan and other major cities in Hubei province where the outbreak originated. Public transportation is shut down and travel forbidden in and out of those cities.
Wuhan, with a population of 11 million people, is a major production center and a significant transit point on the Yangtze River for containers headed to seaports for export.
More than 40 airlines have suspended a total of 25,000 weekly flights to China so far, according to airline data aggregator OAG Aviation Worldwide, removing substantial bellyhold capacity from the market that logistics companies relied on to move perishables, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive parts and other high-value products.
Below-deck space accounts for 45% of total capacity on the trans-Pacific trade lane to North America and the westbound lane to Europe, according to industry experts.
On Thursday, American Airlines extended its suspension of flying to Hong Kong from Los Angeles through March 27, citing the extreme drop in travel demand. Flights to Hong Kong from Dallas-Fort Worth are scheduled to resume Feb. 21, the carrier said.
Cargo opportunities for freighter operators remain limited at the moment, with factories in China closed for an extended national holiday ordered by authorities through the weekend, but business is expected to spike once manufacturers reopen and production returns to normal.
FedEx Express (NYSE: FDX) and UPS say they are still operating normally in China but are adjusting schedules as necessary to deal with travel restrictions and other conditions. In a statement, FedEx said it is supplying surgical masks, hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes to crews and vendors, and disinfecting facilities in areas where outbreaks have occured. FedEx also is checking the temperature of employees and outside suppliers reporting to work at FedEx gateways and aircraft ramps.
A UPS spokesman said crews are being provided particulate-filtering respirator masks and hand-sanitizing gel, as well as advice on how to help prevent contracting infectious diseases and what to do should they exhibit any symptoms.
Atlas Air is operating fewer flights than normal in and out of China because volume is down significantly. “Freight is piling up over there” with warehouses having diminished workforces to process freight and trucking companies prevented from making deliveries, Kirchner said. Much of the current activity involves transporting medical supplies to China.
Atlas Air, Purchase, New York, is providing masks, taking precautions with catered meals, restricting who comes near the crew and the aircraft, checking the temperature of ground workers, and sanitizing planes departing China, Kirchner said. The airline has also eliminated overnight stays for crews except in Hong Kong.
Pilots are often being switched in Japan or Seoul before flying to China, or planes will carry four pilots so they can keep them onboard without a crew change, Kirchner said.
Border closures and quarantines are also posing a challenge to airline and charter crews, Kirchner said. The U.S., Australia, Russia, Japan, Pakistan and Italy are denying entry to foreign visitors who have recently been in China, despite global health officials advising against such measures because it could accelerate the spread of the virus as people try to enter countries unofficially.
“If you have a crew member go through China and he gets quarantined someplace else, we lose the crew member and it’s a hardship on the crew member,” Kirchner said. In the U.S., flight crews are exempt from quarantine requirements.
The union boss praised Atlas executives for working with pilots on measures to mitigate health risks and stressed that the discussions on safety are being kept separate from the contentious contract negotiations that have disrupted some operations and jeopardized Atlas’ relations with mega-customer Amazon.
Dan Loh, vice president of investor relations at parent company Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, declined to comment on how the carrier is dealing with the virus outbreak.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t know the lifespan of the new coronavirus on hard surfaces yet, but officials believe it is short and that the probability of transmission is low except by person-to-person contact, according to guidance posted on the Air Line Pilots Association website. | <urn:uuid:b9691862-2150-464a-965f-a52fad6f9436> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geminishippers.com/air-cargo-carriers-implement-coronavirus-protections/ | 2023-10-04T16:49:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511386.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004152134-20231004182134-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.95219 | 1,253 |
Have you ever wanted to wake up in the morning, have breakfast, and start working in your pajamas?
Not only would you get paid to work from home, but you would get paid to watch and write about sports! This dream is not farfetched. With the revolution of the Internet and the shift to online cultures, this dream can become a reality using blogs. Although starting a blog sounds easy, managing the blog can be difficult. The picture painted above sounds great, but the biggest challenge will come with monetization. Your dream cannot become a reality until you find some way to make money. To help you find ways to make money on your sports blog, here are 7 powerful tips for beginners::
Although this is not an avenue to directly monetize your blog, the content you write will act as the base for your entire website. What content you produce will be the key to success. Better content means more customer traffic, which, in turn, creates more paths for monetization. Successful sports blog should have a good mix of content. This means blogs you write personally, news stories, games updates, and even video content. With so many different kinds of sports, there are countless options for content.
One tip for content is to make sure that it is unique. No one wants to read the same articles twice, so make the blogs you create your own. This can involve adding some sort of quirk or niche to your articles such as a comedic twist. Another way to attract customer is to offer content that directly responds to the demand. For example, you can offer content related to online betting. As the industry is growing, more people are looking for material that gives them the odds of the games which can be then used for betting or fantasy sports. For more about betting odds, click on this link to learn more.
With great content and constant traffic, you can now start monetizing your website. The easiest and most common way to earn money through blogs is with advertisements. There are a couple different advertisement routes: direct ads and click ads.
● Direct advertisement, known as banner ads, is an ad embedded into your web page. Companies such as Adblade or Advertising.com can provide good advertisement networks for direct ads. Money is made by displaying your ads on your most trafficked pages. The more traffic is seeing these ads, the more money you can make.
● Click advertisements is an advertising model that pays per click. Instead of just showing the ad, you make money as users click through into the other website. This is the most common type of ad technique for beginners as many companies such as Google Adsense offers easy to set up pay-per-click ads. When looking at an advertising network, make sure they do not have a traffic minimum. For example, Clicksor requires 50,000 monthly impressions.
Advertisements are not perfect. The largest problem is you get paid very little for having advertisements. For example, a pay-per-click is relatively low at 3 cents per click. With the average click-through rate being at 0.1%, this equals very little ad revenue. Large companies such as ESPN can earn a high amount of ad revenue due to its high amount of traffic. Even though this won’t pay the bills, it is a good start.
Another way to create revenue for your blog is to have a subscription service. This is a simple monthly service that allows your users to obtain otherwise locked content. To have a successful subscription service, you must have intriguing content. No one will want to pay for a monthly subscription if the content is not worth it. This is usually something that can be implemented down the road once there is an established customer base. Make sure that you still offer some free content. If all of your content is locked behind a subscription service, you may lose massive amounts of traffic.Your content should not only be worth the price but should also be affordable. Additionally, a subscription service allows advertising opportunities for your blog such as offering free 1-month subscriptions.
If you don’t want to rely on your content for monetization, you can always offer products and services to your customers. Products can include t-shirts or accessories with your blog’s name. This creates an added revenue stream for your blog as well as advertisement. Offering products can be tricky and are not recommended for beginners. For a product to be successful, the website must have a good and loyal following. It will also require serious startup capital to buy the initial inventory for your store. If this is too difficult, you can offer a service. This can be special to your unique skills as a professional. For example, offering coaching services for amateur teams or fantasy sports. This is easier than products as it does not require startup inventory.
If you do not want to offer any personal products or services, you can partner with companies that do. Through your partnership, you can advertise their products or link your website to their store. Money can be made through a percentage of products that are sold or a flat advertising fee. This method involves you personally contacting other businesses. If you are having trouble or want to approach partnerships in a different route, you can go through affiliate programs. This is when you earn commission for promoting others products or services. There are many affiliate programs such as Clickbankor Rakuten that help beginners connect their websites with other businesses.
Holding events can be a good path for monetizing your sports blog. Creating events can include sports workshops, conferences, or even organizing meetups with local players. Although events can be useful, they require a lot of work. Not only will they be costly at first, but will also require research, advertisements, and in some cases, partnerships. Once this is accomplished, a successful event can create a lot of buzz about your website.
Donations are one of the most fickle ways to monetize your sports blog. This requires your customers to donate, either one time or monthly, to your website.

jane iredale's Skin Omegas - Omega-3 fatty acids are known as the "good fat" and are a vital part of a balanced diet. They play a crucial role in cell renewal throughout the body, including the skin. Because omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, all skin types can benefit from it, including dry, sensitive and acneic skin. Omega-3 also helps to increase hydration and overall smoothness.*
Omega-3 is combined with omega-6 from evening primrose oil and vitamin A. Skin Omegas is a perfect companion to any skincare regimen. Easy to digest with no aftertaste. Two capsules a day with food are recommended.
Pilot study to evaluate the effects of Skin Omegas on key parameters of skin function. - Results: Measurement Improvement:
Elasticity up 8%
Smoothness up 20%
Wrinkle Depth up 24%
Hydration up 40%
TEWL up 36%

Bills cornerback and return specialist Leodis McKelvin has been placed on injured reserve because of a groin injury.
Buffalo signed linebacker Kirk Morrison back to the team after releasing him on Dec. 3 after he was inactive for 12 games. 30-year-old made 7 tackles for the Bills in 2011 after spending six years with Oakland and Jacksonville.
McKelvin is a former first-round pick...
The Buffalo Bills have released veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison, who became the odd-man out on a team needing to fill holes on a banged-up offensive line.
The move was announced Monday, shortly after coach Chan Gailey said the Bills were contemplating making a roster move to free up space after losing two starting linemen in a 34-18 win over Jacksonville.

Linebacker Kirk Morrison was released by the Buffalo Bills, who needed to create a roster spot with center Eric Wood out indefinitely and offensive tackle Chris Hairston also banged up. Wood suffered a torn MCL and could be done for the season, while Hairston's status for Sunday's game against St. Louis is in doubt. "We'll probably have to make some kind of...
In a blog post made by Chris Brown today, Dave Wannstedt stated that he sees safety-turned-linebacker Bryan Scott as a starter in their defense, given that he will be the linebacker next to Nick Barnett in the nickel. Scott, who has switched between the two positions over the past few seasons, was made a full-time linebacker earlier in this offseason.
This certainly isn’t breaking...
Per Dave Wannstedt, Arthur Moats is currently our starting SLB and has beaten out Kirk Morrison to this point.
They are adding a 24 year old LB to the starting lineup with a unique set of pass rushing skills, a great move for the team in my opinion. Moats has 5.5 sacks in the league in his first two seasons, including breaking Brett Favre’s consecutive games starting streak...
Linebacker Kirk Morrison has agreed to a two-year contract potentially worth more than $4 million with the Buffalo Bills.
Morrison will earn more than $2 million a season should he meet incentive clauses included in the contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team did not divulge the...

The Buffalo Bills re-signed outside linebacker Kirk Morrison to a two-year contract Friday.
Morrison saw limited actually last season, making seven tackles and registering one sack in 10 games.
The 30-year-old Morrison recorded at least 116 tackles in each of his first five seasons with Oakland.
Here’s a feature on Bills LB Kirk Morrison from ProPlayerInsiders.com. Morrison is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Will the real Kirk Morrison please stand up? After a number change when Kirk Morrison was traded from Oakland to Buffalo earlier this year, the veteran linebacker wanted to change his Twitter handle from @KirkMorrison55 to @KirkMorrison… only problem was 20-year old Canadian student Kirk Morrison was already tweeting under @KirkMorrison.
How much was the Twitter handle worth...
The Kirk Morrisons of the world certainly stick together.
And there will be two of them meeting for the first time and wearing Morrison No. 58 Bills jerseys at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, when Buffalo (5-2) hosts the New York Jets (4-3) in a midseason AFC East showdown.

THE Dragon City Derby Dolls will host an open day and information session this Sunday.
People are invited to try their hand at roller derby from 2pm at Truscott Reserve in Murdock Street, California Gully.
Allison "Library Fine" Hadfield said the event would be informative and fun.
"We're going to have a scrimmage which is kind of like a practice match," she said.
"It's not a serious game and people will be able to see what we do and get a bit of an idea about what we do and how the game works.
"After that we'll have an information session and people will be able to have a fun skate.
"We'll have some skates they can borrow if they don't have their own so people will be able to give it a go."
A "Fresh meat" program will start on July 20.
"That will be in Bendigo and then starting in August we're going to be running one out of Castlemaine as well," Ms Hadfield said.
"Four girls from our team currently travel up from Castlemaine already so we thought it would be great to run something out of there."
The 12-week program teaches participants how to skate and all the basics of roller derby.
"We've already had quite a lot of interest and they can check out our website or our Facebook page to find out more information," Ms Hadfield said.
"Roller derby attracts all sorts of people.
"They can start when they're 16 and we've had people training with us up to 50 years old.
"Some leagues like Ballarat actually have a junior component as well.
"I guess it's just something a bit different and it's loads of fun." | <urn:uuid:fe0e4376-1dd0-4303-95d6-40be84c91ad3> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/2273156/roller-derby-come-and-try/?src=rss | 2017-03-25T17:34:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189031.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00114-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97892 | 363 |

For the vast majority, residents at care homes receive outstanding care but there are always exceptions where the level of care provided falls below the reasonable standards that residents and their loved ones expect.
Failings from the care home or their members of staff can result in injury or illness to a resident, which can be traumatic and life-changing. When this happens, you or a loved one may be entitled to an explanation, an apology and/or compensation.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF CARE HOME NEGLIGENCE?
Falls and Handling Errors
When residents are not moved/handled correctly, are not provided with the appropriate mobility aids or are not appropriately supervised, then falls can occur. For the majority of residents, falls can result in serious and potentially life-changing injuries such as broken bones.
Such an injury can be detrimental to a resident’s physical and psychological health at a time in their lives when they may already be experiencing vulnerability, especially if the injury further reduces the resident’s mobility.
Pressure Ulcers / Sores
Pressure ulcers and sores are a particularly prevalent risk for those residents who are bed bound or have limited mobility. They can occur as a result of not being appropriately re-positioned and being left on a bed or other surface for a long period of time or as a result of failings in their personal care.
Pressure ulcers and sores develop and worsen quickly. The presence of a pressure ulcer or sore can have a significant impact on a resident’s quality of life both physically and psychologically as they are incredibly painful and can take months/years to heal. In some cases, they do not heal at all. The fact is that pressure ulcers and sores are completely avoidable with the correct nursing care.
Errors with medication can include administering the wrong medication completely, administering the right medication but with the wrong dose or failing to give full and reasonable instructions about when/how to take the medication. Such errors can result in serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions.
In rare cases, injuries can be suffered as a result of deliberate abuse from care home staff. In these cases, it can be difficult to establish that the injury was caused deliberately and not by another cause. Our specialist solicitors can assist in helping you to determine this.
HOW MUCH COMPENSATION CAN YOU RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF CARE HOME NEGLIGENCE?
Each claim of care home negligence carries a different set of circumstances which carries a different valuation. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors have a vast experience of care home claims and will ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Gaza: Tens of thousands of supporters of the militant Islamic Jihad movement rallied in the streets of Gaza on Friday, chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel”.
Young men and boys wearing white T-shirts with a slogan in the shape of a rifle bore portraits of militants killed in combat, under the black flags of Islamic Jihad.
Ramadan Shallah, the group`s exiled chief in Damascus, sent a recorded message marking the anniversary of the assassination of the group`s leader Fathi Shiqaqi in Malta in 1995, by presumed Israeli secret agents.
"Israel will not bring peace to the region, it will only bring war and destruction and therefore, the slogan of all should be that Israel must be wiped out of existence," said Shallah, who is on a United States wanted list.
Senior leaders of the ruling Islamist group, Hamas, joined the open-air gathering, the largest for years in honour of Islamic Jihad with up to 100,000 attending according to its organisers.
Hamas allowed the group to use city terrain it usually reserves exclusively for its own rallies, and Hamas forces provided security for the parade by its smaller rival.
"Referendum against peace talks"
Islamic Jihad carried out a series of stabbing attacks in the 1980s against Israeli citizens who used to visit the Gaza Strip to purchase cheap goods and later turned to suicide bombings inside the Jewish state.
Its militants continue to harass southern Israel with sporadic rocket and mortar fire from inside Gaza, frequently paying with their lives in swift retaliatory strikes by the Israeli air force.
Islamic Jihad officials said Friday`s turnout was a "referendum by the Palestinian people rejecting peace-making with Israel”.
Negotiations between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israel`s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have faltered over the latter`s refusal to freeze settlement building in the West Bank, including in Jerusalem.
"The choice of negotiation has reached deadlock, and we are wondering why is there such an insistence by the Palestinian Authority on negotiation with the enemy," said Shallah.
He urged an end to peace talks and fresh efforts to heal the rift between Abbas` Fatah movement and the Islamist militants.
Raising hopes that the three-year-old split may be coming to an end, Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya said it was time for unity in the face of Israel.
"There is only the choice of Jihad and nothing else ... There is no more room to make bets, on the Americans or anyone else," said Hayya.
President Abbas, however, rules out any return to violence against Israelis in pursuit of Palestinian statehood. He has said he will pursue diplomatic alternatives should the peace talks with Netanyahu collapse definitively. | <urn:uuid:7bbc7705-cd1a-4af7-bd59-7ffa34148537> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/big-rally-by-islamic-jihad-in-gaza-joined-by-hamas_664720.html | 2018-09-24T21:07:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267160754.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180924205029-20180924225429-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.947584 | 559 |

Thanks for stopping by! I have to tell you, I am loving this whole blogging thing. I hope to learn how to upload some of my printables very soon. Check back again for things like that!
There were two activities that ended up being our favorites today! The first one is math related. We have been working on "area" of shapes. The kids have really caught on to simple area, so I decided to challenge them a bit. I gave them a piece of one inch grid paper. They had to use the squares to create one of the animals we have been studying. After a practice sheet, they had to recreate it with markers on a new piece. When finished, they had to document the area of their animal. Fantastic job kids!!! By the look on their faces, I know they were enjoying every minute of it!! Take a look!!
|practicing area with animal shapes|
|It's a moose, of course!|
Our next favorite thing was learning about fireflies!!! Fascinating insects! After reading some of our favorite firefly books and poems, enjoying interaction with a firefly in a jar, we practiced the firefly lifecycle, wrote a list of things that also light up the night sky (sorry I don't have a pic of that) and then worked on a craft connection. The kids were given a paper jar to cut out...tricky cutting out the inside! :) The jars were laminated and the film was left in the middle. We then fingerprinted the wings of fireflies with glow in the dark neon paint. Add a silver sharpie body and voila!! So cute!! The kids had a ball!! We will hang these from the ceiling!!
|Have you seen these?? Battery operated firefly in a jar!! LOOOOOOVE IT!!|

His approval rating is in the toilet. His re-election numbers are abysmal for an incumbent president at this point in his term. He has stated that he is giving up on white, working-class Americans. The economy, regardless of how he tries to talk it up, is lethargic at best. His “foreign policy” consists of repeating the line “(fill in name of country) is one of our best allies and punches above its weight.” Independents are deserting him in droves.
Obamacare is still unpopular, and his numbers will fall even further after it is declared unconstitutional. Of course, the Obama attack machine (campaign and left-wing media) will immediately go to town after the Supreme Court announces its decision and try to whip up the base with frightening rants about the end of Roe v. Wade being just one vote away. Even if this ploy works, independents will not be pulled over to his side in big enough numbers to stop the slide. The Catholic Church has taken off the gloves over BO’s attempt to force them to provide insurance that includes coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. They are attacking him from the pulpit and with a television commercial that is as hard-hitting as anything produced by James Carville.
Romney can capitalize on this and hopefully remember that the election is about one thing and one thing only – Obama. He must fashion a campaign to remind Americans of BO’s Operation Fast and Furious, the policy of selling automatic weapons to the Mexican drug cartels. Romney can play the president’s laudatory comments about the Occupy Movement while showing such protesters defecating on police cars. Oh yeah, Romney can also show the clip of Leon Panetta telling Congress that the administration doesn’t think it needs to ask for congressional approval to send troops into conflict – just that of the United Nations and/or NATO. | <urn:uuid:8a81be2a-01bb-47d5-b1d7-f95e1c5f38e2> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.infowars.com/how-obama-plans-to-win/ | 2016-09-25T23:51:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738660436.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173740-00285-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973219 | 393 |

AS much of the world celebrated Barack Obama`s victory on Nov 4, I received a summary of a khutba, or address, at a mosque in Baltimore by Kaukab Siddique. As this missive was carried on a website that claims to be America`s biggest Islamic site, I assume many people read it.
I am including a few excerpts here to give readers a flavour of the kind of thinking that informs many educated Muslims living in America
“Look at the people who are PLANNING, ORGANISING, IMPLEMENTING and FUNDING the campaign of the new `saviour`. All of them, at the national level, are Zionist Jews.
“He [Obama] came from a racially oppressed minority but are there any black leaders in KEY positions in his campaign? None! Not one!
“He is preparing for a bigger war than Bush and is openly talking of crushing the Islamic resistance in Afghanistan and is boasting of going into Pakistan and `getting` Osama bin Laden. This is a recipe for disaster. If Bush, with a much larger army and a very aggressive policy could not `get` Osama, what makes this man think he can do it.
“Muslims, including those who are planning to come here and become Americans, should realise that if they do not have an Islamic programme, they will be shattered by what the forces of evil are doing to America.
“There is much good in America but there is also evil. When we came here, we could not have known that homosexuality will be legitimised and adultery and fornication will be glorified. The price we have to pay for coming here is that we lose our children to a way of life which defies all decency and morality, be it Muslim or Christian. Zionism is strangling the soul of this nation....
“Making overtures to the campaigns of the Democrats and the Republicans is spiritual suicide. When the mass culture is controlled from coast to coast by forces hostile to Islam and all decency, the conservative forms of religiosity cannot save us, our families or our children....
“We cannot survive as Muslims by becoming part of the system which is strangling the soul of this nation. We must organise, mobilise and act OUTSIDE the power structure. Stay away from the oppressors who rule here and reach out to the people....”
Advising Muslims to remain outside the society they have chosen to migrate to is a recipe for marginalisation and seclusion. Indeed, what Mr Siddique is saying to his congregation is the message many other Muslim leaders in the West are conveying to those foolish enough to follow them.
Over the years, many English friends have asked me why Muslims choose to live in England if they hate its civilisation and values so much. I have been unable to offer any convincing reply as I don`t understand this phenomenon myself. But surely, even people like Mr Kaukab Siddique should be able to see the significance and transformative power of the recent American election.
As Barack Obama`s stunning victory has proved, America remains a vibrant democracy that renews itself and evolves. Unlike so many Muslim societies, it is not stagnant and unresponsive to changing circumstances. These are the societies millions have fled to make a better life for their children. Mr Siddique`s khutba would have been more convincing had he been able to offer an example of a Muslim state that gives its citizens greater opportunities, security and peace of mind than the United States.
A couple of days ago, I got roped into a televised discussion on the American election. Two of my four panellists kept saying that Obama`s win would change nothing for Pakistan. But surely the American election was not about us. Pakistan only figured as an issue because it is a focal point of Islamic terrorism. Obviously, any American president will be guided by national interests.
As Obama has already said, he would authorise strikes within our borders if bin Laden was located, and our forces were unable or unwilling to take him out. Beyond that, he has supported a renewed American engagement to help India and Pakistan solve the Kashmir problem. In addition, he has promised to make more funds available for economic and social development, changing the focus from Bush`s almost exclusive military aid. These are all changes in emphasis that should be welcomed, instead of being the subject of anti-American whingeing and carping that have come to characterise our chattering classes.
Obama`s victory speaks volumes for the distance American society has travelled in a single generation. While much of the world has been appalled by the arrogance and bullying displayed by the Bush administration these last eight years, most foreigners who have spent time in the United States are aware that this is not the true face of America. This is a country that has welcomed millions of immigrants over the years, and in the process of assimilation has become transformed.
The reality is that the Obama story could not have happened anywhere else in the world. Where else would a relatively unknown politician from a minority community be elected to the highest office in the land? Certainly not in any European democracy. And while Obama`s victory might have finally closed the chapter of slavery and discrimination in America, the struggle for equal rights has not ended. Nevertheless, this momentous occasion does mean that all Americans, irrespective of their colour or creed, can now dream of following Obama`s path.
Many fundamentalists oppose elections on the grounds that it is somehow `un-Islamic` and urge other Muslims to boycott the democratic process. The convoluted logic they base this argument on is beyond me, but the reality is that they are aware that they would be rejected by voters if they did try to fight an election. So rather than waging a losing battle, they try to discredit the whole process. And they justify their murder of civilians by saying that their victims are not really innocent as they voted for the government against which these fanatics are waging their jihad.
This is the mindset we have to contend with, but hopefully Obama will bring a more nuanced approach to bear when he is facing these people. While Bush recruited more foot soldiers for his enemies through his crude and ignorant tactics, we can hope that Obama will heal some of the wounds his predecessor has inflicted on the world, and on America`s image abroad. | <urn:uuid:fbcf62eb-2265-4cfa-bfda-b78cf0c2bd8d> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.dawn.com/news/427333/only-in-america | 2017-02-24T19:45:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171629.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00086-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973103 | 1,290 |
Bright young things: meet the ambitious YOG Ambassadors set on changing the world
One year on and Youth Olympic Games Lillehammer 2016 Young Ambassadors Eric Mitchell and Josefina Salas have wasted no time in exerting their influence on sport and society. From highlighting LGBT and inclusion issues to addressing the fundamental approach to professional sport, the Canadian and Chilean have taken up the challenge and run with it.
Elite sportsmen and women often claim to be doing what they love for a living. To maintain that equilibrium between passion and profession once they have left the athletics arena is no mean feat. Canada’s Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010 ski jumper Eric Mitchell and Chile’s former international slalom skier Josefina Salas – both of whom were IOC Young Ambassadors at the Youth Olympic Games Lillehammer 2016 – seem to be on the verge of this rare double.
“There are so many places you can devote your time to, what I am focused on is making sure I can make the most impact,” said Mitchell, who started work as an associate at the multinational firm Ernst & Young (EY) in September last year, just a few months after the YOG.
“I love the work EY does. I need the skills I am building here, financial acumen and leadership skills. I hope to be able to one day use them to give back to the world of sport,” Mitchell said.
He is a busy guy. All his waking hours outside work are dedicated to developing sport at community level, specifically with regard to LGBT and inclusion issues. The 24-year-old is a founding ambassador of the Canadian Olympic Committee’s One Team programme.
“At youth level we have been working at creating opportunities for more LGBT athletes to participate in sport,” Mitchell explained. “I think we can be a little bit more accepting and provide more opportunities for inclusion for LGBT athletes.” The Canadian came out as gay in 2015, two years after retiring as a ski jumper.
Already there is plenty of overlap between his new job and his hobby. “We [EY] have a great group working with our women’s athlete business network and we hired, I think, six athletes out of Rio [Olympic Games 2016] because we know there is a lot of potential in leaders coming from athletes. The more I can be involved in programmes like that, to support leadership and inclusive leadership, the better,” he said.
Fellow Young Ambassador Salas is keen to set herself on a similar path. “I have a big passion for sports but at the same time I really like engineering and everything I can do with it in life,” said the 22-year-old, who enters the fifth and final year of an engineering degree at Santiago’s Catholic University in March.
She has already started to figure out how to mix the two. “Right now I am trying to get a programme done in my university; a sports innovation lab,” Salas said.
“Chile is not that professional [in its approach to] many sports and maybe that is because it is not something that is part of daily lives. So I have this big idea that if in Chile we are developing technology that is helping sport, it will become more part of people’s lives.”
Both former athletes agreed that being a Young Ambassador in Lillehammer was a crucial stepping stone for their second careers. Last year Salas was voted academic counsellor for her engineering school in Santiago, a position that has given a real boost to her pet project.
“It is a really big representative role. I sit with the dean and am part of different committees, so through the role I would like to be able to support the creation of this sports innovation lab,” said Salas, who is adamant she would not have even thought of standing for election were it not for her YOG experience.
For Mitchell, Lillehammer 2016 has transformed the way he operates. “Being a Young Ambassador gives me the tools and the knowledge to be able to go into my community and say ‘I was an athlete, now I am a YA for the IOC’ and I can talk about the importance sports play in so many aspects of life,” said the Canadian.
He is already matching his ambitions with deeds. In 2015, Mitchell took the One Team programme to the One Young World Summit 2016 in Ottawa – a chance, as he put it, to “extend our voice to a little bit of a different audience”.
With so much in common it is no surprise Mitchell and Salas are in touch, the YA+ programme providing the ideal platform. “It’s a really cool group, we stick together, we bounce ideas… and we work off each other to keep each other involved and motivated,” Mitchell said.
Neither are they shy in stating that their ultimate ambitions lie in the higher echelons of sports administration. “I would say a little part of my head is always thinking about how I can be in sports but without being an athlete,” laughed Salas. | <urn:uuid:cfd2d88d-5bb0-4477-9ef1-260efa1a6ff2> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://olympics.com/en/news/bright-young-things-meet-the-ambitious-yog-ambassadors-set-on-changing-the-world | 2021-06-16T19:14:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487626008.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210616190205-20210616220205-00496.warc.gz | en | 0.972417 | 1,076 |
Another Halo game is due out in less then a few weeks and as any Halo fan should know by now that also means that tons of Halo related merchandise will be released as well. If you want the latest Halo item, your best bet is most likely Gamestop; as they have already started their Halo: Reach marketing blitz. For those of you that want to spend your hard earned money in these tough economic times on Halo stuff, this is what you can expect to see:
Halo: Reach Wireless Headset
Why bother getting yelled at by an 11 year old with your old wired headset on Xbox Live, when you can do it wirelessly? Your already playing Halo, so you might as well have the branded headset to match! This headset doesn’t improve upon the already released Wireless Headset for the 360, but it does let everyone know you prefer a nice silver look to your mic compared to the plain white one.
This headset will set you back $49.99 and is available at any major video game retailer.
Why I won’t be buying it: I almost did actually, but my Halo 3 headset still works great…when I remember to charge the batteries.
Halo: Reach Wireless Controller
If the Halo 3 limited edition Wireless Controllers wasn’t your thing due to the McFarlane artwork plastered all over it, then this new Halo branded controller might be for you.
The cost to pick up this bad boy: $59.99
Why I won’t be buying it: Why would I buy a controller that is essentially going to be obsolete in two months because of the new revamped controller that Microsoft is releasing? I might consider it at a lower price point, but the color scheme isn’t going to make me run out and buy it for that reason alone. Your mileage may vary.
Halo: Reach figures (McFarlane Toys)
Yes, McFarlane Toys still owns the license to make Halo figures and rightfully so. They’ve done a great job on replicating the Halo Universe in a collectable toy format that is properly suited to the game. Many of the Reach figures are already out at your local Gamestop store at the time of this writing, most of them are priced at $18.95.
McFarlane Toys has also released full figure scale vehicles to relive your favorite Halo battles. I’m sure that these will sell far better then McFarlane’s first attempt at making vehicles based on the Halo universe now that they have an actual use with their figure line.
Why I will try really, really (really) hard not to buy them : $18.95 is pretty high for an action figure at that size and scale and the price point for these figures seem to go higher and higher every time a new Halo game is released. I honestly stopped colleting these figures after the 3rd series of Halo 3 figures, mostly because McFarlane just kept churning out Spartan armor variants. The full size vehicles are quite a temptation for me and it wouldn’t surprise me if I end up buying one… IF I bump into one.
Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Limited Edition Console.
If your looking to buy a brand new slim edition of the Xbox 360, want Halo Reach, larger hard drive, two limited edition controllers and don’t care about the limited edition version of Reach then this is a no brainer. The fact that the 360 is now sporting a built in WI-FI adaptor is also an added touch to those who don’t want to run a network cable to their living room. The console also sports its own custom Halo inspired sounds when the console is turned on, which is a nice touch.
Priced at $399.99, this is a not a bad deal for those who are looking to upgrade from their older 360’s or newcomers to the system itself. Sure, it doesn’t have a Blu-Ray player, but it does have quite an awesome selection of games that can be had for cheap.
Why I won’t be buying it: If I didn’t already have two 360’s, I actually would. The slim 360 is really slick looking and as Halo fan, I wouldn’t mind having the limited edition console. I would most likely end up selling the copy of Reach though and putting that towards the Legendary edition.
Halo: Reach Legendary Edition
The Ultimate edition of Halo: Reach for Halo fans is pretty awesome and manages to usurp the awesomeness that the Halo 3 Legendary edition was in terms of package design. The limited edition will cost you $149.99.
The Legendary edition includes:
Halo Reach Game Game Disc in custom case modeled after a recovered ONI data module” A custom in-game Elite armor set for use in Reach’s multiplayer modes. Artifact Bag containing a brand-new piece of the extended Halo universe: The personal notes and documents of the creator of the SPARTAN program: Dr. Catherine Halsey. Dr. Halsey’s ONI Security Badge. Embroidered Spartan II Patch. Noble Team statue expertly crafted by the artisans at McFarlane Toys. Individually molded, hand-painted and individually numbered, this statue is a must-have for any serious “Halo” fan UNSC-themed custom packaging. An exclusive in-game Spartan armor effect.
Why I WILL be buying it: As an ex-Halo collecting merchandise addict, this Legendary edition comes with everything that will satisfy my old Halo itch, the Noble Team statue is an awesome touch and will look great in my game room. It also focuses on what makes the Halo universe fun for me in the first place: The game. As a beta tester, I was pretty impressed with Reach and didn’t expect to be; especially after being so disappointed with ODST. Needless to say, I pre-ordered mine after playing a good amount of the beta.
I hope you enjoyed this look at some of the new Halo: Reach related merchandise that is coming out or is already sitting on store shelves. I’ve barely scratched the surface of some of the stuff that is out, but keep your eyes peeled on this site for more as well as the occasional unboxing videos of Halo related stuff at www.gamerlogic.net. | <urn:uuid:0ba33800-bf38-414d-8014-e3160841482d> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://xboxcollector.blogspot.com/2010_08_29_archive.html | 2017-03-23T14:12:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218187113.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212947-00240-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95017 | 1,316 |
Whenever I need a dose of inspiration, Sam Abell’s A Photographic Life is my book of choice. He shares his eloquent thoughts and processes through a chronological highlight of his personal as well as professional life. Not only does his photographs move me but also his writing. On page 132-133, two photographs of the same scene are shown in the spread, one taken in the morning and the other at night.
Aran Island, Ireland 1993
I saw the sleeping horse from the roof of an inn where I was reading and taking in the rare sunshine. The scene below looked eccentrically interesting so I made a few photographs. When I moved on I forgot about it.
In the night I awoke and climbed out of the bedroom window to take in the moonlight. The horse was still there. Moonlight transformed the scene. What had looked eccentric in the afternoon now looked mysterious. I climbed back into the bedroom and in the dark put my camera and tripod together.
The night was stillrarer even than sunshine in the Aran Islandsbut during the long exposure the horse's head blurred as it nodded off and on. I finished photographing, the horse was still standing there, but in the morning it was gone.
Mr. Abell has taught me to think deeper, to understand and to appreciate the photographic journey. Through his words, I now carry with me a certain consciousness that I was not previously aware of. Whenever I read a few pages from his book, it is enough for me to feel inspired again. | <urn:uuid:31ff96e8-a115-43ba-a5f7-1a3482c68e8d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.stellakalaw.com/blog/inspiration-sam-abells-a-photographic-life.html | 2017-11-23T00:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806708.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122233044-20171123013044-00135.warc.gz | en | 0.986707 | 313 |

The temple dancer Nikiya and the warrior Solor fall deeply in love, igniting heated passions and murderous intrigues when the Rajah and his daughter Gamzatti discover their forbidden love. La Bayadère is one of the greatest works in classical ballet history – a story of love, death and vengeful judgment, set in India. Dazzling sets and costumes, with one of the most iconic scenes in ballet, the “Kingdom of the Shades,” illuminate the tragic tale of the temple dancer Nikiya’s doomed love for the warrior Solor, and their ultimate redemption. A must-see theatrical event.

Parking garages are constantly exposed to harsh weather. As a result, specialty membrane systems have been developed to protect exposed concrete surfaces. Traffic-bearing membranes form an impervious coating on a concrete surface. They consist of a two-layer system: a base coat protective barrier and a top coat protecting against traffic wear and tear. Hundreds of traffic-bearing protective membrane systems are available. Each system is designed for specific applications. The type of traffic determines the choice of membrane to use.
Before installing a membrane, ensure the concrete surface is sound. Inadequate surface preparation is the most common reason for membrane failures. Typically, water blasting, sand blasting, shotblasting, or scabbling are used to prepare the surface. Before applying the membrane, delaminations and internal cracking must be repaired and the repair material fully cured. The moisture condition of the concrete deck greatly affects how well the membrane adheres to the concrete. Several proprietary moisture meters and water vapor transmission rate estimating devices are available. Proper curing is essential or it's likely the membrane will fail quickly. Give newly applied coatings the protection they need to cure for at least the minimum recommended time. | <urn:uuid:ec957159-a698-44d3-9688-c05acbb129c5> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.concreteconstruction.net/underlayments/selecting-and-applying-traffic-bearing-membranes.aspx | 2014-11-26T09:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931006716.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155646-00195-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.908382 | 233 |
|What about the DAYZ!!|
If your like me, after many years (too many!) of gaming, you get stuck in a rut and go through a stage where all games look and feel the same. Nothing excites you or get's you finger riddling your mice in excitement. It's not the games at fault (well, some maybe) but just this rut that appears..... It could be the greatest game ever made and still you feel deflated and "same old, same old".
That's when little gems like 'Survive The Nights' help out. Its sneaky sneaky projects like this that suddenly pop out of nowhere and make a fuss. They rock the foundations of the gaming community and make heads turn. It has me excited and feeling like a teenager again, living back at home eagerly waiting in anticipation for it's release to do all night gaming sessions, it had me at "Survive" and I've nick named it my "Sweet Suzy" because it’s going to be sweet, so sweet I named it Suzy.........
I was fortunate enough to sit down (in the virtual online world) with Joe, the Lead Designer for 'Survive The Nights' from a2z(Interactive). Carry on reading for a summary of what the game is about and an Interview that will reveal exactly how fascinating this team is and why their project should have YOUR support.
Survive The Nights is a unique FPS survival, focusing on teamwork, fortification, creativity and strategy. Secure a structure or roam free, the choice is yours. With drivable vehicles, mental health effects and a crafting system that has indoor farming for those of us who just like to stay inside!
The game has been Greenlit on Steam and now live on Kickstarter as a "Staff Pick!"
1. Hi, Please can you introduce yourself andgive a brief description of what you do on the Project.
My name's Joe, everyone on the team calls me JB.
I'm the lead designer on Survive the Nights and co-founder of a2z(Interactive). I'm 31, married, born and raised in Brooklyn New York. I love gaming and anything game related. Recently my hobbies have included eating and getting fat. As most people developing a game will tell you there isn't time for anything but developing a game, it has become an obsession!
2. Can you provide a brief overview of the game and why you chose a survival zombie genre when already the industry is flooded by “Zombie” games.
Personally we don't feel it is flooded. Zombies aren't a "new fad", hell I played ‘Zombies ate My neighbors’ for hours and that was nearly 25 years ago! The short answer is we've all always wanted to make games and we've all always wanted to play this one.
3. I’m fascinated how the Team (a2z Interactive) formed. From meeting on Xbox Live to creating a Minecraft server which then spawned the idea of creating ‘Survive The Night’ (STN). What knowledge did you have to gain and experiences to go through to even consider creating a game?
The team has had little to no formal training when it comes to game development. Our knowledge comes from almost two years now of trying! We read/watch/listen to anything we can get our hands on. The two lead developers Jayty and I have been life long gamers, as you mentioned we met gaming. We've dedicated every free second we have had over the last two years to Survive the Nights.
4. Why did you choose Unity as the build engine? With the flexibility in the Unity Engine will you find time and resource to possible port this to Next Gen Consoles (PS4, X1...Wii U!?!?).
We fell in love with unity but more importantly the community behind it. We strongly suggest anyone thinking about game development have a look at not just Unity but it's forums and all the amazing people that are involved with it. We haven't discussed much when it comes to console ports however that shouldn't mean we don't plan on them. Right now we're focused on creating the best game we can and for the time being that only includes Windows/Mac builds (Linux we're not forgetting you we promise!).
5. How many players can the engine handle concurrently?
There are a wide scope of factors to take into account and nothing game wise is truly set in stone! We'll have more info on the matter soon.
6. How do you plan on the servers being persistent and dedicated? Are any servers to be hosted by a2z or player only?
Servers will be hosted by a provider we trust very much. Players will be able to rent them just like Minecraft servers etc. We'll also have a number of servers hosted by a2z! :)
7. Will you approach server providers (i.e. Multiplayer.co.uk) to get some form of service/support?
8. With the Calorie and sleeping features are you at all concerned the game could turn from fun to a ‘Chore’. Will players be wanting to just get on with the ‘Fun’ stuff but consistently held back because they must go eat something or sleep to keep player energy at peak?
Yes this is something we totally want to avoid. We plan on keeping starvation and dehydration realistic also. Players will not have to eat every 10 minutes rather every few hours (gamedays) before really feeling the effects! Once again all of these systems are in alpha and we plan on really listening to our alpha backers.
9. Can you provide a further insight in the calorie features i.e. eating.
We will be releasing more video in the coming months showcasing all of these features.
10. Does the dynamic weather affect game play in sense of aim and speed of movement? I.e. if it’s cold, will aiming down site affect this and if so can winter clothing mitigate this effect?
Yes colder months will have you seeking more firewood, wetter weather will sap your energy, damp cloths your body temperature. Luckily the dryers work! :p
11. Can you describe how the ‘Mental Health’ engine will work in the game? Do we take it that PvP is a No, No due to ‘Mental Breakdown’.
You shouldn't take PvP as a NO!
PvP will still be a part of the game as it should be. Mental health will play a large role in it though. A player that abuses others will have to suffer the consequences of their actions. The bandit will become disorientated after a few KoS's their vision might blur voices might be heard visions of the players they have killed. These symptoms can be fought off perhaps with home grown medicines or found prescription anti psychotics. Once again all of these systems are in their infant stages and players will have a say in the final product for sure. Players will also be able to control server backends allowing them to completely disable PvP.
12. How will the levelling work? Is it casual player friendly?
Levelling much like crafting will be simple yet extensive. We'd like to keep things old-school here doing things a lot makes you better/faster/steadier and so on.
13. Will there be player events? I.e. triggers that start a mass zombie overrun where as players must group to survive.
That's a great idea but not something we have planned as of right now.
14. What are the minimal system requirements?
We don't have any specifics locked in at this time. Survive the Nights will be very scalable, it's currently being developed/recorded on out of the box gear.
15. Do we have a launch date or open beta date?
Nothing we'd feel comfortable sharing. The game is in its early stages, very one on the team is a gamer and we wouldn't release anything we weren't happy playing no matter what stage it's in.
16. Which games have inspired you to create STN and have you taken ideas from
As insane as it sounds the whole thing started with GTAIV. Jayty and myself were messing around in a free roam and started saying how epic it would be if you could "hold down" homes, store weapons and supplies in cars. That idea is really what sparked the first talks about getting into game development. We're heavily influenced by all the old zombie flicks, George A. Romeros stuff in particular.
I'm a massive fan of point and click adventure games and I've turned Jayty onto a few, you might see some of that influence trickle into Survive the Nights. As unbelievable as it sounds no one on the team has ever played any of the current survival games with the exception of the two hours i've put into the forest (love it) and an hour or two on 7d2d (which I also enjoyed very much). Jayty and I are one day going to get Day-z but currently can't seem to take a break from development as my lack of timely response to your interview can confirm (sorry!).
17. Who is your Gaming hero?
He's short, stubby and Italian much like myself.
18. Lastly, have you any STN goodies we can giveaway! (Cheeky Grin).
Yeah we'll hook you up when we get some! :p | <urn:uuid:f4ca512e-9d94-4248-86e2-44535b51d05c> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://wackyworldofwaz.blogspot.co.uk/ | 2017-12-12T14:26:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948517181.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212134318-20171212154318-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.969477 | 1,952 |

Using Scenario-Based Learning
One of the best ways to learn is by doing. Scenarios enable learners to play through real world-situations in a safe space. This sample illustrates the technique I’ve used in many of my courses.
Creating WFM University
When a workforce management team needed to update new hire training, we did more than just jazz up a PowerPoint. We launched a learning platform that supported both new and skilled associates.
Reimagining What’s Possible
Necessity is the mother of invention – and sister to creativity.

Telegram started to get more users to the platform since the news on WhatsApp privacy update.
In this post, we’re going to share with you 5 reasons for changing to Telegram.
- The first reason for using Telegram is the number of members in a group. You can only have 256 members in a WhatsApp group but in Telegram, the limit is 200,000! No need to worry about creating multiple groups for members.
- The file sending limit is 2GB in Telegram which is enormous and guest what, the files will be save in the Telegram’s cloud server instead of your phone unlike WhatsApp! In other words, when you pressed on the files that sent by others in Telegram, your phone will only save a cache of the files without saving the full copy of the files, hence saving space for your mobile devices. You can anytime long click on the files and press save to download to get the copy of the whole files saved to your mobile devices.
- On the privacy side, Telegram app only collects your phone number, contacts and user ID unlike other messaging apps which collect from your fitness info to other apps that you interact with or website that you visited. Telegram also uses public “username” for your account, which means that other people could contact you via your public username without knowing your personal details such as phone number. However, the downside of Telegram is that Telegram only uses cloud encryption on the basic chats and only secret chat will be having end-to-end encryption. More information: https://tsf.telegram.org/manuals/e2ee-simple . Advantage wise, without the end-to-end encryption, Telegram are able to allow users to sign-in in multiple devices without issue unlike WhatsApp.
- In Telegram, you can have different type of interaction such as personal accounts, groups, channel and bots. Personal account and groups interaction is similar to what other messaging platforms have to offer. While for channel, users can subscribe to channel that interest them and receive information or posts from the channel , somewhat similar to broadcast in WhatsApp. Follow our Cre8tive Telegram Channel: t.me/Cre8tiveNow .
- The next advantage of using Telegram is bots. Bots, short form for robots allow developer to customize and automate tasks for different application including auto-reply chatbot, FAQs system, auto-ban spam users, valid user verification or even payment system directly in Telegram. Users are able to make payment via the integrated payment provider directly in Telegram and get the invoice/receipt after the payment has been made. To test the payment system, go to t.me/cre8tivebot and select demo.

My name is Ezra Vasher.
And I’m the worst kind of sinner.
Pray for me.

“What if women can’t arouse me?”
“We find ways for you to adapt, so you can have children.”
“How can I stifle desires I might have otherwise?” It wasn’t a sincere question. I was stalling. For what reason, I didn’t know. My would-be bride was the last thing I wanted to discuss, though. I knew that was the purpose of these meetings. But I thought it had evolved.
“There are ways. Various therapies. I know a little, but never cultivated an interest for further study. I can if you request it.”
I wasn’t remotely interested in any sort of therapy that was meant to alter the way God made me. Sorcery was a sin, last I checked. “Then what do you plan to do?”
He smiled. “Are you aroused right now?”
I watched his eyes move down to my trousers. I made a point to adjust. “Yes.”
“When you take your wife for the first time, do you know what to do to make her ready, so it doesn’t hurt?”
I shook my head. I really didn’t know much at all. “I don’t want to hurt her.”
“I know you don’t. Unbutton your trousers, Ezra.”
Well, this little experiment wasn’t going to be accurate now. Certainly he knew that. I unbuttoned, but I didn’t mess with the zipper. He would need to be explicit. Though I couldn’t stop my thumb tracing my length as it pressed against my hand, patient, but needy.
“I’m going to blindfold you, Ezra. It will heighten your other senses.”
Oh. Well. Interesting. I closed my eyes as he stood, and a minute had passed when I felt cool silk cover my eyes and tied behind my head.
I heard a chair being moved behind me, and felt the inside of his left thigh press up against mine. I felt his breath on my neck and I bared my throat. Neither of us had expected that, but I didn’t move.
A moment later, his wet lip touched my neck, and he spoke. With every word and every exhalation, his lip pressed, pushed, and slid without apology. I couldn’t concentrate, but I resolved myself to try.
“There’s actually not much you can do to make it hurt less that first time.”
I wanted to express how unfair that was and how I would likely be incapable of hurting Naomi on purpose, but that would be stupid. I might tell him later, when his lips weren’t on me.
“God puts a small layer of skin there, and when you enter her, it painfully rips the skin away. Even if you go slow. The blood on your cock tells you she’s a virgin. In His design, He meant for it to hurt.” I felt his tongue as he licked his lips.
And it completely distracted me from my horror and disgust.
“It likely won’t hurt again, but she’ll remember. Are you still aroused Ezra?”
I was, but how silly that he thought I might not be. Unless he just wanted to hear it from my lips. “Yes.”
“Mmm,” he said, both lips touching me for a split second. “When I was in seminary, it was argued that if she enjoyed it, she was possessed by Satan.”

NBA Coronavirus Outbreak: Teams Open Practice Facilities And Silver’s Plans For Resumption
Cuban points to conflict of interest between league and teams
The NBA is now allowing teams to open their practice facilities in the event that their respective cities also allow it. However, Dallas Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban is adamant that he will not venture into that possibility if there are still limited tests. During an interview on The Athletic’s 77 Minutes in Heaven podcast, Cuban pointed out to the fact that test kits are still limited, which means no one can be assured of their safety. (h/t USA TODAY)
“The problem obviously is that because we can’t test people, then we can’t assure anybody’s safety, whether they’re basketball players or anybody else. Even though we can try to take all different kinds of precautions, it’s just not worth it, particularly when our guys are staying in shape and they’re going outside and shooting on outdoor hoops and working out in various ways. So I just don’t think the risk is worth the reward.”
True enough, players who will not show any symptoms of the virus will not be given the access to a test kit. However, it is widely known that asymptomatic patients can still have the virus without them knowing it, and this could eventually be spread to people who are more at risk. Aside from the players, there will also be coaches and staff manning the practice facilities. These coaches are older in age, and it is also known that older people are more weakened when infected by the COVID-19.
Cuban’s argument is indeed valid and it’s a good thing that he is making a firm stand on it. The league office, led by Commissioner Adam Silver, told teams that they can invite players to engage in individual workouts as early as May 8. The league emphasized that only teams whose corresponding cities have relaxed their community quarantine orders will be allowed to open their facilities.
In a 14-page memo sent out by the league office, they detailed out specific guidelines while reiterating that the players will go to the facility on a “voluntary, individual basis.” (h/t USA TODAY’s Jeff Zillgitt)
“The league wants to ensure “safe and controlled environments for players to train in states that allow them to do so, and to create a process for identifying safe training options for players located in other states,” the news release said.
“The potential rules changes would allow teams to make their practice facilities available for use by the team’s players for workouts or treatment on a voluntary, individual basis if the team’s facility is in a city that is no longer subject to a government restriction. For any team that, due to a government restriction, is prohibited from making its facility available for use by the team’s players, the league will work with the team to identify alternatives.”’
The workout policies laid out also says that only a maximum total of four players will be allowed to train at the same time, and also reminded everyone that they can’t use any other facility other than their respective teams’ own training centers. Moreover, the NBA also made it clear that teams are not allowed to require their players to come out for the workouts. This was a major concerns for the players as they were worried that they will be forced to take part in the workouts.
Furthermore, the NBA also required teams and players to still exhibit social distancing and extensive hygiene practices. The memo included a rule that players should wear facemasks inside the facilities and they are only allowed to take it off when they are already “engaged in physical activity.” All belongings, equipment and machines should also be extensively disinfected, and players and staff should be checked for symptoms and temperature before they will be granted access to the training facility.
As of today, Adrian Wojnarowski of the ESPN reported that there are three teams who have been given the resources to provide tests to players who don’t show symptoms.
“In municipalities where coronavirus testing has become readily available to at-risk health care workers, NBA teams opening facilities for voluntary workouts will be allowed to administer tests to asymptomatic players and staff, sources told ESPN.
The Orlando Magic have been approved and plan to administer testing to players prior to a Tuesday reopening, and the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams expected to be allowed to conduct coronavirus tests of all players and staff members entering facilities for individual workouts -- regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms.”
We are still a long way back from deeming it safe to hold games, but all these recent happenings point us to a faint light at the end of the tunnel.
NBA decides to postpone draft lottery and draft combine
In light of the season suspension caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, the league has decided that it’s best to postpone both the draft lottery and the combine. Both of these annual events were supposed to happen this month, but it is obvious that there won’t be any social gathering allowed anytime soon.
Steve Aschburner of NBA.com wrote that the league could have done the lottery through a remote position. However, the final placing of the lottery teams is yet to be determined because there is still a possibility that the league will resume the season.
“The Draft Lottery was scheduled for May 19 in Chicago, the same site as the Draft Combine set for May 19-24. In theory, the lottery could have been conducted remotely, without league executives, representatives of each teams and media members gathering in a hotel ballroom. But because the 2019-20 season remains paused, with the possibility of resuming regular-season play still among the NBA’s many, constantly changing models for a return to action, the actual 14 lottery teams are as uncertain as most of the 16 playoff qualifiers.
Mathematically, only the Milwaukee Bucks, Torono Raptors, Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference had clinched postseason berths by the time the schedule was suspended March 11. A total of 259 games were left on the schedule, their status -- as well as the playoffs -- on hold.”
As of now, the five teams with the worst records in the league are the Golden State Warriors (15-50), Cleveland Cavaliers (19-46), Minnesota Timberwolves (19-45), Atlanta Hawks (20-47), and the Detroit Pistons (20-46). | <urn:uuid:dad5f861-4581-4642-83bb-54147ebd6ed3> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://sport.one/nba-coronavirus-outbreak-teams-open-practice-facilities-and-silvers-plans-for-resumption/ | 2021-04-18T13:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038476606.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20210418103545-20210418133545-00214.warc.gz | en | 0.971243 | 1,369 |
