Charlton Athletic and Fulham will battle it out on Sunday afternoon to play in the most prestigious game of the Women's football calendar, the AXA FA Women's Cup Final. Also on offer to the winners of Sunday's game is a chance of added media exposure, with the final being televised live on BBC1 as well as live commentary on Radio Five Live.
It's a London derby in this semi-final, as the professional outfit Fulham play the winners of the 2000 FA Women's Cup at Woking FC this Sunday at 3pm. Charlton play in the women's top flight -a league above Fulham.
And the two sides met up ahead of their semi-final showdown to get their hands on the FA Cup trophy.
Fulham's Rachel Unitt and Fara Williams of Charlton Athletic may be good friends from their days with England Under-18s and now the senior side, but they both will want to get their hands on the cup after their taster earlier this week. Left-back Unitt said: "We are really pleased at Fulham to have come this far. I think it should be a very close game between two strong sides. I hope to see a lot of fans coming along to cheer both sides and I think it will be an entertaining game, that everyone would enjoy."
18-year-old midfielder Fara Williams, of The Addicks, added: "I've had a brilliant season so far and the chance to play in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend is the icing on the cake."
Charlton, under their former name Croydon, achieved the League and FA Cup double in 2000 and will be hoping to make the most from their appearance in the FA Cup semi-final this season. Fulham, who lost last season's final 1-0 to Arsenal in front of a record crowd of almost 14,000 at Selhurst Park, will be hoping to go one step further this time around.
Tickets, priced at £3 for adults and £1 for children/OAPs are still available from the Woking FC ticket hotline on 01483 772 470 ext 42. There will be entertainment on the day, with face painters, competitions and giveaways.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Painting Sold For $110.5M
Jean-Michel Basquiat is still making his mark on the art world. Today (May 18), one of the late, great artist’s paintings sold at auction for a staggering $110.5 million.
The New York Times reports that Basquiat’s “Untitled” painting from 1982 is the 6th most expensive art piece sold at auction while only 10 other works have sold for over $100 million.
The new owner is a Japanese billionaire, Yusaku Maezawa. The same guy who copped a Basquiat for $57.3 million last year.
Of course, he took to Instagram to show off the latest piece in his collection (see below).
Back in 2013, Jay Z copped a Basquiat painting called “Mecca” for a much more modest $4.5M.
I am happy to announce that I just won this masterpiece. When I first encountered this painting, I was struck with so much excitement and gratitude for my love of art. I want to share that experience with as many people as possible. バスキア落札しました。アートを好きになってよかった。このペインティングをはじめて見た時、心からそう思いました。みなさんにも見てもらえる機会を作れたらいいなと思っています。 #jeanmichelbasquiat #basquiat #バスキア #ありがとう @sothebys
Breaking #news: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s ‘Untitled’ masterpiece just sold for $110.5m in our #nyc salesroom! Acquired by noted collector and entrepreneur, @yusaku2020, the work set a new auction record for the artist and also for a work by an American artist at auction. Before the work becomes a centerpiece of his future museum in Chiba, Mr. Maezawa’s hometown in #Japan, this exceptional painting will be loaned to institutions and exhibitions around the world. #SothebysContemporary continues in #NYC.

Chestnut Hill Candle Company - Chester, WV
In 2001 husband and wife team Dave and Missy started making candles mainly as a hobby they could do together. They went to a local craft shop and bought some supplies and got to work in their kitchen. They had to be the worst candles ever! They wouldn't even burn! With no idea what they were doing, they started doing some reading and found some better suppliers. About a year later they came up with their own unique soy wax blend of soy and cottonseed and finally made some candles that were worth giving to family and friends.
When their friends and family started asking for more they wondered if they could make a business out of this. Dave was skeptical but Missy thought they might as well give it a try. Missy showed one to her friend's mother and told her they made them and were thinking of selling them. She asked if she could buy one. When my Dave came home she told him she sold a candle today and he said, "That's great, honey," and brushed it off.
They only had a few scents at that time so Missy put one of each in a basket, tied some gingham on the basket handle and sent it with her mother to her work and to a business next door with 15 or so employees (Including her friends mother). The next day Dave came home and she told him she had $ 300.00 in orders. After he picked his jaw up off the floor, they went to work filling the orders. They started sending baskets with family and friends wherever they could and before they knew it, they were in business.
In 2004 they launched their website and a year later a small retail store. They now specialize in fundraising for schools and organizations. | <urn:uuid:5133434a-40c9-4fd2-ac40-851736f7a0a8> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://wild-and-wonderful-box.myshopify.com/blogs/vendors/chestnut-hill-candle-company-chester-wv | 2023-06-06T06:31:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224652235.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606045924-20230606075924-00648.warc.gz | en | 0.995518 | 358 |

June 5, 2014
On the Ron Paul Channel, Dr. Paul reviews a recent article by neoconservative writer Charles Krauthammer, in which Krauthammer expresses his great fear that US “influence” is on the decline after a $400 billion trade deal between Russia and China was signed last month.
“It’s almost as if he is terrified that peace may be breaking out,” said Dr. Paul.
The neocons believe that the US bullying the rest of the world is very good, said Dr. Paul, because we have to spread American exceptionalism around the world. We don’t want to look like we are a weak nation.
But that approach to the world is not strength, Paul says. It is actually a sign of insecurity and inferiority that the US government feels compelled to either buy its friends or bomb those who refuse the US bribes.
The neocon mindset is incapable of considering that security, peace, and prosperity do not depend solely on foreign submission to US bombs or bribes.
Dr. Paul zeroes in on what is really bugging Krauthammer about the Russia/China deal: his fear that the US military budget will not continue to rise at the neocon-preferred level.
Paul catches Krauthammer in a lie, as the neoconservative warns that US military spending will be cut “down to the pre-Pearl Harbor level.”
Not true, Paul points out: Krauthammer’s deception is in claiming that a reduction in the rate of increase is equal to a decrease. It is quite a simple lie to catch, but the neocons nevertheless continue repeating it to a slavish and uninquisitive media.

EU-NATO relations demand a new realism if we are to build a strong, truly strategic partnership
AFTER four years as secretary-general of NATO, I will be stepping down at the end of this year. These were four exciting years, in which the Atlantic Alliance transformed to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing security environment. Today, NATO is delivering security from Kosovo to Kabul, and my successor, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, will find an Alliance in excellent shape.
One of Jaap’s key priorities will be to drive forward the NATO-EU relationship. The rationale is clear. NATO and the EU are Europe’s most important security institutions. The closer they work together, the broader will be the range of instruments available for a modern, comprehensive security policy. With our successful cooperation in the Balkans and the groundbreaking ‘Berlin Plus’ agreements on NATO-EU cooperation, we have a solid base on which to build.
Good progress, but not good enough. Our institutions still remain further apart than is good for them — or for European security. Some NATO members seem nervous about the EU’s future potential to become a competitor to the Alliance. And in the EU, some member states appear frustrated about NATO’s dominant role in managing security in Europe and beyond. Needless to say, the Iraq debate earlier this year did its share in fuelling these misperceptions.
This nervousness has to end. If we are serious about building a strong and effective, truly strategic, partnership between NATO and the EU, we need a new realism in NATO-EU relations.
First, we need realism on NATO. There have been Americans bad-mouthing the Alliance as “war by committee”. Some Europeans view NATO simply as a straitjacket for European ambitions.
The reality is different. Like no other institution, NATO can squarethe circle of transatlantic multilateralism and effectiveness. The Alliance is proving it in the Balkans and in Afghanistan, and it may well be called upon to prove it in Iraq as well.
This does not mean that NATO must be used for each and every crisis. Some problems might be better addressed by the EU, or by a coalition of the willing. But when it comes to translating the military and political potential of Europe and North America into concrete action, NATO remains the institution of choice.
Second, we must all be realistic about a European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). ESDP is a strategic imperative, and before I became NATO secretary-general, I did my share to make it a reality. But it cannot work as an alternative to NATO, or a counterweight to the United States.
An EU that rivals the US is militarily impossible, financially unaffordable, and politically unsustainable.
What we need is a partnership in which Europe can pull its weight, which encourages common approaches to new challenges, and that can handle occasional differences without relapsing into fantasies about mutual estrangement. Such a relationship is clearly within reach. And this is why I welcome the agreement the EU found on NATO-EU consultation, planning and operations.
Third, we need more realism on military capabilities. Money is tight in all our countries. All the more reason for spending the scarce resources we have available for defence in the right way – not on wiring diagrams or duplicative headquarters, but on real capabilities that we can deploy when and where they are needed. We have made a promising start in NATO, with the Response Force and other new initiatives gathering speed. As we both move forward, NATO and the EU must ensure that our capability initiatives are coherent and mutually reinforcing. After all, our nations have only one set of forces.
The setback at last weekend’s EU intergovernmental conference illustrates that a lot of work will still be required to give the Union the kind of ‘personality’ it seeks. But I am confident it will keep moving in the right direction.
NATO, as well, is going through a profound transformation. We therefore cannot formulate an end state of NATO-EU relations. But this should not prevent us from broadening our cooperation in areas where our interests clearly coincide, and where we can complement each other: in managing crises, combating terrorism, preventing proliferation and – above all – improving military capabilities.
I am proud of playing a part in bringing NATO and the EU much closer together. This momentum must be maintained. Because in the 21st century, NATO and the EU are destined to cooperate. | <urn:uuid:1e0e3572-67eb-4c8f-ae79-210b24223662> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-nato-relations-demand-a-new-realism-if-we-are-to-build-a-strong-truly-strategic-partnership/ | 2018-05-20T19:55:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863684.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520190018-20180520210018-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.939624 | 919 |

I first heard about Jessica Knoll’s Luckiest Girl Alive over the summer. One of my best friends, Hadley, was telling me that her coworker’s wife had written a book and it was doing really well. I wrote the title down in my phone so I would remember to grab a copy. When I saw it in stores soon after, though, the price tag held me back – I’m a public library kinda gal because I go through so many books, but it wasn’t available there yet! I’ll admit that I wasn’t in any huge rush to snag it. After all, a friend of a friend wrote it. Like, a real human being. There’s no way it could be that groundbreaking, right?
Boy, was I wrong.
The novel follows fictional character Ani FaNelli, a soon-to-be-wed twenty-something with a glamorous New York City magazine job and a wealthy fiancé. Just like any other picture-perfect life, though, there are more than a few cracks in Ani’s picture frame. When you think you’ve discovered Ani’s secret, guess what? You haven’t.
I’ll warn you, though. This book is pretty disturbing. I offer this disclaimer because I got a lot of flack for one of my previous book recommendations (cough The Chocolate Money cough) for being “too much.” Luckiest Girl Alive deals with violence, assault, disordered eating and more.
Another side note: before reading it, I heard the novel compared to Gone Girl several times. I honestly do not see where the two overlap. Not every piece of dark fiction targeted towards women is the same as Gone Girl, people!
But regardless of the above – or maybe because of it – Luckiest Girl Alive is so damn good!
This is the type of novel that made the term “a page turner” necessary. I holed up with it one morning with a cup of coffee, and actually had to force myself to go outside and take a walk halfway through it.
Apparently Reese Witherspoon has signed on to produce the movie version of the book. Where can I buy my ticket?
Oh, and about the author that I assumed was just an average Jane? Turns out Jessica Knoll is a former senior editor at Cosmopolitan. Talk about living the dream. Well, at least my dream.
I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Growing up, I thought faith was about believing Jesus died for us, and that if I held on to that, I’d get to meet him when I died too. But faith doesn’t mean that to me anymore. Now it means someone seeing something in you that you don’t, and not giving up until you see it too. I want that.” — Jessica Knoll, Luckiest Girl Alive | <urn:uuid:61081c7f-168b-4453-a84b-0cc7291f1bd6> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | http://haleyslifeincolor.com/book-review-luckiest-girl-alive/ | 2019-12-08T18:31:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540514475.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20191208174645-20191208202645-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.973287 | 624 |

Reblog if your Tumblr picture is actually you.
Have you ever laid on your bed at night, and just cried? Cried because you're ugly. Because you're not good enough. You counted all your flaws from head to toe, to punish and feel worse about yourself. Cried because the comments people blurt out, actually hurt your feelings. You don't want to be a burden, so you bottled it all up. Around people, you're the happiest ray of sun shine. But nobody knows, that at night when you're alone, you break down and just cry.
Yes. Yes I have.
So I jokingly said I would record a Christmas album when I was at home... but now it's happening for real. Who wants a copy? :3
Although they probably won’t be ready until next week at the very earliest…. I will keep y’all updated. :D
Also: five will be in Polish. DEAL WITH IT. This is mostly a gift for my family in Poland, so they want carols in Polish. :P

Zenith has announced its collaboration with UK-Based authorized dealer, Watches of Switzerland, to release the Zenith Cronometro TIPO CP-2 Watches of Switzerland Limited Edition. In typical fashion for these types of authorized dealer/brand collaboration watches, the two have taken an existing model from the Zenith line-up, and dressed it in a new reverse-panda dial for the exclusive sale of 25 pieces through Watches of Switzerland.
The Zenith Cronometro TIPO CP-2 in its original form was introduced by Zenith in 2016, and takes inspiration from a Cairelli Chronograph from the 1960s. The Cronometro TIPO CP-2 sports a 43mm case, and clocks in at 13mm thick. The dimensions of the TIPO CP-2 are closely based on the vintage 1960s Cairelli Chronograph from which it takes inspiration. Beating inside the watch is an in-house El Primero automatic two-register chronograph movement, and keeping with the vintage inspiration for the watch, it does not have a date. While I generally appreciate the functionality of a date complication on any watch, I don’t see a place where Zenith could have implemented this function without disturbing the balance of the dial. The watch is also water-resistant to 100m, although I doubt many will be taking this watch with them for a casual swim or diving expedition.
The Watches of Switzerland Limited edition keeps the same main specifications of the Cronometro TIPO CP-2 (Hands-On here) but displays a unique colorway. This Limited Edition is designed with silver/white sub-registers contrasting against a black dial to create a nice reverse-panda dial, accented with red chronograph hands. Even though the term “Panda Dial” has become a buzzword in the watch community, it’s a style that has become increasingly popular, especially after the record-setting auction of Paul Newman’s Panda dial Daytona. Each of the 25 watches has an engraved caseback specifying its limited edition number, and the watch will come packaged with two leather straps.
While this release is more of a marketing opportunity for Watches of Switzerland than anything else, it is nice to see additional colorways of the TIPO CP-2, and it provides another option for the collector who was potentially on the fence about the model. If this Zenith Cronometro TIPO CP-2 Watches of Switzerland Limited Edition is your cup of tea, you can purchase one of the 25 through Watches of Switzerland directly at a price of £7,400. zenith-watches.com | watches-of-switzerland.co.uk | <urn:uuid:4091b6b6-f9bb-42fb-8400-163f0e6f3560> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://watches4trade.com/zenith-cronometro-tipo-cp-2-watches-of-switzerland-limited-edition/ | 2019-02-17T07:37:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481766.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190217071448-20190217093448-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.943209 | 562 |

(2Cor.6:1-10; Ps.98:1-4; Mt.5:38-42)
“When a person strikes you on the right cheek,
turn and offer him the other.”
“Now is the acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation!” Alleluia! And how do we know the salvation of the Lord except by the cross. This is our joy. These “difficulties, distresses, beatings, imprisonments, and riots”; the “hard work, sleepless nights, and fastings” – these crosses bring us immeasurable joy, for through them we share in the suffering of Christ and so also in His resurrection glory. Thus the Lord can encourage us not to seek to avoid such suffering; thus He instructs us to be prepared to suffer over and above that which comes to us – for He knows that as we give of ourselves in this ready way, as we lay down our lives without hesitation, we shall find ourselves in the hand of God, we shall come quickly to join Him in heaven. With Paul, we must “present ourselves as ministers of God, acting with patient endurance amid trials,” and His salvation will be made known in us. And we will rejoice with Paul in all our sorrows. And we will be able to exclaim with him, “We seem to have nothing, yet everything is ours!” For the fullness of Christ will reside with us.
Give. Give, and do not count the cost. How hard it is for us to freely give of our possessions, much less of our very lives. Are we ready to “give to the man who begs” from us? Are we prepared to care for others’ needs? Or do we hold tightly to our possessions, calling them our own? And what of the possession of our pride and the protection of ourselves from injury? What of our judgment of others? Are we ready to give these up so completely? Can we turn the other cheek to those who do us wrong, offering the pain to God and finding great comfort there, or do we need to strike back against the offending party, exacting the retribution due us according to the law? Do we indeed live by the law, or have we transcended the law: do we now live by the Law of love? Are we a new creation in Christ?
It is not easy to lay down our lives in such a way as Christ calls us. The world ever mocks the absurdity of this sacrifice. But we who are in Jesus should know the absolute truth of Paul’s words and Jesus’ instruction. If we are to be Christians, we must know the joy and freedom that come from suffering all with Him who is our salvation. He is all that matters. If we have Him, we have all things. Come to this truth, brothers and sisters; leave behind the fears wrought by attachment to the things of this world. This world is of sin, anyway. As we lose our possessions for Him, He gives us all the more. As the body dies, the spirit comes to life. What the devil would take from us, let us give him, for he cannot touch the life that is Christ: our souls are in the hand of God. And, as with Job, all will be restored to us, and more, in the day of the Lord. So, “wielding the weapons of righteousness with right hand and left,” let us learn always to turn the other cheek to our persecutors.
O LORD, grant us the grace to endure all trials
in patience and with love,
that we may give witness to your salvation at work in us.
YHWH, your salvation has come to us, and it comes in the form of a Cross; in the suffering and death of your Son we are set free to rejoice in you. Though we seem to have nothing, though we be beaten and robbed, yet Jesus is with us, and with Him everything is ours. O let us accept the salvation that He brings this day! Let us be patient amid all trials and we will know your presence among us.
Help us, dear LORD, to walk with your Son on the way of the Cross. He is struck repeatedly; He is stripped and forced to carry the burden of our sin. We beg you not to turn your back on us, though we have turned our backs on Him. Help us to do what we are unable to do – to give witness to the truth and love of the Christ… to endure all as He has done.
O to be disciples of Him who saves us! O to know His holy innocence and unending life! O to sing with joy to you, dear God, in the unbreakable Spirit of your Son. | <urn:uuid:056d3d49-f4ec-45ab-898a-0bdcfeca5761> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://hermitinthecity.libsyn.com/webpage/2021/06/13 | 2021-07-30T19:06:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20210730185206-20210730215206-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.964472 | 1,005 |
Are you wondering how you can use social media to market your business and drive sales?
To learn how you can develop relationships with social media and content, I interview Jeff Korhan for this episode of the Social Media Marketing podcast.
More About This Show
The Social Media Marketing podcast is a show from Social Media Examiner.
It’s designed to help busy marketers and business owners discover what works with social media marketing.
The show format is on-demand talk radio (also known as podcasting).
In this episode, I interview Jeff Korhan, author of Built-In Social: Essential Social Marketing Practices for Every Small Business. He also trains and coaches small businesses on social media marketing at Jeff Korhan.com.
Jeff shares his knowledge of and experience with social marketing from running his own small business, and how you can implement it into your business.
You’ll learn about the ‘Social Marketing Process’ and the importance of collaboration and cooperation.

Did you know there are great social media tools that make the sales process easier?
In this article, I’ll review 3 tools to help you get the information you need to generate revenue from your social media activity.
#1: Nimble—Nurture Your Relationships and Get Sales
Nimble is a social relationship manager. Through social media you can build a large network of people whom you connect with, but there is likely to be a smaller group of key people who are potential advocates, influencers or customers for your product or service.
Do you think likeability should even play a role in business decisions?
If you’re struggling to answer these questions, you might be confusing ‘likeability’ with being considered ‘nice.’ The two are not the same thing.
In his latest book, Likeonomics: The Unexpected Truth Behind Earning Trust, Influencing Behavior, and Inspiring Action, Rohit Bhargava explains that likeability has nothing to do with being nice, and everything to do with being believable.
Having sat through hundreds of pitch meetings, I can tell you one thing for sure… unlikeable entrepreneurs never get funded. ~ Guy Kawasaki
The Jobs Paradox
Steve Jobs was clearly a visionary with a brilliant mind. But he is often described as having been an egomaniac and ‘hard to work with.’
When Nike CEO Mark Parker was asked about the best advice he ever received, he recalls Jobs telling him some months before he died:
Nike makes some of the best products in the world—products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crap and focus on the good stuff.
Jobs didn’t play nice, but he had the type of honesty and clarity of vision that drew people to him, made him believable and even likeable, in his own way.
After all, would YOU do business (knowingly) with a sketchy person?
But with the rise of social media comes new challenges for businesses of all shapes and sizes, especially when it comes to reputation: Who knows you and what do they know you for?
Are you helpful? Are you a great person to do business with? Are you a trusted resource or a product pusher?
Could “ethical” bribery be setting your business up for failure?
If your company’s social media interactions revolve around advance announcements of sales, special offers and insider-only promo codes – to the point where receiving these things is the primary motivation for your fans and followers – then you’re essentially bribing customers to stay.
In this case, social media merely provides a pleasant, whitewashed cover for the bribery.
Thus, the very activities you’re hoping will improve your relationship with customers might well be actually hurting your reputation with them, making those customers less likely to pay your full price without balking.
This article will reveal four ways to build customer loyalty without bribery.
One of the big concerns about using social media for business and marketing is time. Social media activities do pose a risk of drawing you in and taking up a huge amount of your day just interacting with people.
Add that the technology is changing all the time. It can seem impossible to keep up with all the tools, software, techniques, etiquette, and social media best practices.
Looking to grow your blog following? You might be surprised that the best way to gain a following is to focus on other people’s blogs.
Outreach is key to having a blog that actually works for your business, yet it’s the one element many professionals ignore. And it’s contrary to most competitive thinking because it involves spending time away from your blog.
Done correctly, however, reaching out to other bloggers in your field will actually create more business opportunities, increase traffic to your own blog, and enhance your business brand more than any other tactic you could employ.
When you think of Ford, you might think “old American car company.” However, under the direction of Scott Monty, Ford has become one of the leading big businesses in America using social media to connect directly with consumers. And it certainly seems that Ford is on the right track to success, recently reporting 1 billion dollars in profit!
In this video, you’ll learn how Ford uses TweetUps to help Ford executives connect with customers across America and how Ford is humanizing its brand. Scott also provides advice to other businesses that are looking to capitalize on social media. Scott also has a little fun, as you’ll see…

Title: From Zero To Hero
Susan runs into Izzy in London. Lolly kisses Ringo, then, shocked at what she’s done, runs off. Frazer tries to stop a little girl from running onto the racetrack buts ends up getting trampled himself…
At the racetrack, Frazer starts to come round as Rosie leans over him, asking him to open his eyes. He asks about the little girl, but Rosie says that she’s fine. He then grows anxious and says that he can’t feel his legs, but Rosie tells him to stay calm and stay still. He jokes that he can’t seem to get close to Rosie without being knocked off his feet, and she tells him he’s a hero. He tries to finish what he was saying to her before, but the ambulance arrives. He’s then taken into the ambulance on a stretcher as Rosie watches.
At the flat, Ned is packing when Paul turns up, but his key doesn’t work. He calls out, asking Ned what’s going on, but Ned tells him to go away. Paul realises that his tenant has changed the locks and starts banging on the door. Ned finally lets him in, and is warned that he could be evicted for this, but he says that it doesn’t matter, as he’s leaving anyway. Paul reminds Ned that he owes him, but Ned says that he’s paid off that debt many times over. Paul then notices some clothing that belongs to Elle and Ned enjoys gloating about it – Paul quickly realises that it’s Ned who’s been making Elle doubt all of their plans to con Oliver. He warns Ned that he won’t be able to turn his daughter against him, but Ned thinks that Elle’s loyalty might just fade when she leaves Erinsborough. Paul says that Elle’s not going anywhere, but Ned hands him the two controllers for the games console and tells him not to be so sure. He then takes back one of the controllers, pointing out that Paul has no friends or family left, so he probably won’t be needing it.
At number 30, Lolly and Ringo are discussing the school blogzine and how they still need a really good features, so they need to put their heads together, before confirming that she means brains and not lips. She suddenly blurts out that she’s sorry she kissed him. He pretends that he’s forgotten about it, but Lolly realises he’s dwelling and says that it was just a mistake, as she thought Ringo liked her. They agree that they need to get past it if they’re going to stay as friends. Carmella then comes in, checking first that Oliver isn’t home. Ringo laughs with her about the tiramisu in Elle’s face and offers to make her a slingshot and bake some scones for next time. Lolly says that guys aren’t worth getting so upset over, then leaves to get her stuff ready for school. Carmella, meanwhile, asks Ringo where Rosie is, as she was supposed to help with deliveries but didn’t turn up at the market.
In London, Karl and Susan are with Izzy, at a café overlooking Covent Garden. Izzy is grateful to Susan for buying her breakfast and Susan goes to get her a napkin before Karl pulls her to one side and complains that they’re going to miss out on all the bargains at the Portobello Road market. He wants to know why they’re wasting their holiday on Izzy, but Susan says that it’s just a couple of hours and they’re the closest thing Izzy has to family right now. She grabs a napkin from another table and takes it over to Izzy, before asking her to write Pete’s number on it. Izzy isn’t sure, as he seems to have made up his mind, but Susan insists that she’ll unmake it. Karl wonders if Susan is serious about phoning one of the world’s finest football players to give him an ear bashing about his girlfriend, but Susan walks off to do just that. Karl sits with Izzy and tells her that he and Susan are getting remarried the following day – Izzy is shocked, but Karl says that it’s a surprise he’s been planning for months and he doesn’t want any of her melodrama to ruin it. Izzy is sorry, but Karl says that she of all people should know how much it’s taken for them to get back together and be happy again – he’s not going to risk that happiness for a second time.
At number 22, Paul wants to know why Elle didn’t mention anything to him, but she insists that there was nothing to mention, she and Ned are just friends. Paul explains that Ned thinks she’s running away with him, but she says it’s ridiculous. Paul forces her to say that her commitment is to him before she goes to answer the door. It’s Carmella, who’s come to apologise. Elle is about to accept this, but hesitates and suddenly starts laying in to Carmella as Paul listens in. Elle ignores Carmella’s accusations that she deliberately split her up from Oliver, and starts suggesting that Carmella is unhinged and should start taking her medication again. Carmella angrily accuses Elle of being as corrupt as her father and says that she’ll regret ever taking her on. Elle shuts the door and Paul says that he’s glad to see Elle back to her old self, but Elle doesn’t look very pleased with herself.
At number 30, Lolly and Ringo are getting ready to leave but he just wants to finish his breakfast. Lolly thinks it looks disgusting before asking if she can have some. Ringo then answers the phone and it’s Rosie. He’s asking her where she’s got to, as Carmella was looking for her, but is stopped in his tracks when he hears that there’s been an accident.
At the hospital, Rosie is waiting outside Frazer’s room when Lolly and Ringo arrive. She explains that Frazer’s been sent for x-rays and Ringo thinks it’s just a broken bone. Rosie goes along with this and then explains what happened. Ringo is delighted that his brother’s such a hero and wants to know when he can see him. Rosie says that it won’t be long, and Ringo enthuses that his brother is bullet-proof.
At Ned’s flat, Elle arrives but is disappointed to see that the tickets Ned’s bought are for Oakey. He says that he needs to say goodbye to the family first, but Elle doesn’t seem too sure about the whole thing. Ned realises that Paul’s been speaking to her and says that, if she stays, she’ll just be a pawn in his games. Elle thinks that her dad just has her best interests at heart and that they’re two peas in a pod. Ned assures her that she’s nothing like Paul – he uses people and he’s using her just like he did with Izzy, Dylan, Lyn… he tells her it’s not to late for her to escape. She’s finally convinced and asks if his parents will like her. He says that there’s nothing not to like.
At their hostel, Karl and Susan are waiting for Izzy, who’s freshening up, and Karl insists that they just need to say their goodbyes to her. Karl wants to just give her some money and send her off, but Susan tells him that it’s help, not money, that Izzy needs. She says that, this time, Izzy isn’t after Pete’s money or fame, she just loves him and wants to be with him – she was honest with him from the beginning, which is a big deal for Izzy. She goes on to point out that Izzy had already started to change her life before she left Erinsborough, and they’ll just get her back together with Pete, then leave Izzy to sort it out. Karl wonders why Pete would talk to Susan, but she insists that she can be very persuasive when she needs to be, then, once it’s all over, she’ll join Karl at any of the modern art galleries he wants to visit. She shows him a card from a bridal shop and says that she might even let him buy her a dress from there. She admits she’s joking, as she’d never have the chance to wear it, but Karl looks at the card, deep in thought.
Back at the hospital, Ringo is joking with his brother about his big stunt and says that he should try crocodile wrestling next. Frazer says he’s already done it. Rosie isn’t seeing the funny side of things and suggests that Frazer needs some rest. Ringo wants to know how long his brother is in hospital for, and Frazer says he’ll be out in no time, kicking the footy around, but Rosie can’t quite keep her emotions in check and has to leave. Lolly goes with Rosie and, outside, asks her what’s really wrong with Frazer. They’re interrupted by Carmella, and Rosie explains to them both that Frazer’s scan has shown up some serious swelling around the spinal cord, so it’s not looking good for him.
Later, Lolly and Ringo are sitting in the waiting room, and Ringo has decided to write the blogzine feature about Frazer, and starts getting ideas about celebrating his brother’s heroic act and interviewing the little girl and her mother. Lolly stops him and says that it’s too early for any of that and that Frazer might never walk again. Ringo stands up and goes to look in the window of Frazer’s room. He sees Rosie holding Frazer’s hand. Inside, Rosie is asking if she can bring anything from home, as he’s bound to get sick of her hanging around and things will get crowded when his family arrives. He says that he doesn’t want them there and, besides, Ringo, Rosie and the others are his family now. He then asks her to call Milly, as she might be worried.
At the bar, Ned is giving large amounts of money to the Salvation Army, but Paul tells him that he can’t buy back his conscience just like that. He says that he gave Ned a lifestyle that most people would kill for, but Ned says that it left a bad taste in his mouth, not to mention a security guard in a coma. He tells Paul that his gambling problem was more about the thrill than the money and Paul reminds him that going home to Oakey will send him straight back to Loserville. Ned says that, even if he is a loser, he’ll still have a soul, which is one up on Paul. Paul claims that he’d rather have money, power and his daughter by his side, but Ned, as he puts more money in the Salvos tin, tells Paul not to get too cocky, as he’ll end up looking like a fool.
At the hospital, Ringo says that there can’t be two tragedies in one week – Frazer has to be ok. Meanwhile, Johnny arrives and thanks Rosie for contacting him. Ringo then comes out of Frazer’s room, demanding to know why Johnny is there but Rosie says that it’s hospital policy to contact the next of kin. Ringo reminds her that he’s there, and Johnny says that Ringo is still the brat he’s always been. He says that he’s not staying, he just wants to see what sort of stunt ‘George’ has pulled this time. Rosie isn’t impressed and says that he’s seriously injured. Despite Ringo’s attempts to stop him, Johnny goes into the hospital room and asks Frazer how he is. Frazer sarcastically says everything’s wonderful, despite the neck brace, and Johnny says that this is what he gets for living life on the edge. Frazer tells Johnny that he’s sounding more and morel like their father, who would never waste an opportunity to kick him while he’s down. Johnny says that he hasn’t told their parents yet, as he didn’t want to worry them until he’d seen how bad it was. He says that ‘George’ caused enough heartache by walking out on the family, but Frazer replies that if Johnny had had enough guts, he’d have walked out himself. He shouts at Johnny to get out.
At a park in London, Izzy and Karl are watching from behind a tree as Susan waits for Pete. Izzy is convinced that he’s not coming, but then he walks up to Susan, who introduces herself as Rosie Hoyland. She thanks Pete for coming and he says that he was intrigued. She tells him that she’s never seen Izzy so happy and that divorce isn’t impossible if Pete wants to be with her. He’s surprised by how liberal she is, for a minister, but she quickly says that she believes Pete values love over money and reputation. He says that his heart is breaking, but he doesn’t know what to do. Meanwhile, Izzy and Karl are amazed that Pete’s even talking to Susan. Pete is telling ‘Rosie’ that he loves Izzy but he has to think about the little kids who look up to him as a football star. She says that he has to follow his heart, as the kids can’t look up to someone who has no heart. She adds that it’s obvious what he wants and it’s not too late for him to have it. ‘Rosie’ then looks over at Izzy, who appears from behind the tree and smiles. Pete and Susan go over to join her and Karl. Pete and Izzy hug, and Izzy introduces him to Karl and Susan – Pete’s surprised to realise he’s been conned, but Susan says that it was the only thing she could think of to get him there. Karl, meanwhile, is surprised that Pete doesn’t remember him from their random meeting in the street. Izzy thanks Karl and Susan for everything and tells Karl that she hopes everything goes to plan. Karl and Susan leave, and he says that she looks far too young to be Izzy’s mum. Susan tells him that he doesn’t look a day older than Bobby Hoyland. Pete, meanwhile, turns to Izzy and suddenly asks her if Karl is the father of the baby.
At the hospital, Ringo is angry with Johnny for upsetting Frazer, but Johnny insists that he didn’t say anything, they just always fight. Ringo tells Johnny to go, but Johnny says that he’s taking Ringo home with him, as ‘Gorgeous George’ can’t look after him now. Rosie offers to look after Ringo until Frazer’s out of hospital, but Johnny doesn’t think that’s fair, as Ringo is turning out just like ‘George’ – “a two-bit shonk who just thinks of himself”… Lolly, irritated, stands up to defend them, and Rosie says that Frazer is setting a fine example to Ringo, who’s a great kid and Frazer is one of the most selfless people she knows. Johnny tells Rosie to get out more, but she says that she’s beginning to see why Frazer left the family. Johnny points out that it hasn’t exactly ended happily for ‘George’, before leaving.
Izzy and Pete are walking through the park and she says that now she’s set Karl free for good, and he deserved that much after the way she treated him. Pete says that she still has to tell Karl about the baby, but Izzy isn’t sure, as she doesn’t want to spoil his and Susan’s happiness before their wedding. Pete says that, if they’re going to make a fresh start, it has to be a clean start. Izzy insists that she can’t ruin Susan’s life again, not after everything she did for her today, and Pete says that he loves her and will accept whatever decision she makes. Izzy finally relents and agrees to tell Karl.
At the hostel, Karl is pacing up and down as Susan tries to read. She asks what he’s doing and he claims that Indian food never sits well with him. He sits down and she asks what all the secretive phone calls were about earlier on. He says that they were telemarketers – she asks why he was calling them and he says he was calling them to ask them to stop calling him. Susan looks confused. He says that he should go to bed as they’ve got a big day tomorrow and need to be up early. Susan asks why, but Karl just says ‘because’. She tries to find out what’s going on, but he refuses to tell her, but, as she persists, he says it’s an eco-fair. She kisses him and says night night. She then gets under the duvet and Karl switches off the light and smiles as he looks down at her.

Having a baby is a fun and exciting time for new parents. Not only do you love your new child and get to spend time with them, you also are able to purchase new clothing, accessories and of course, toys for your new little one! Babies love toys and if you are like most new parents; you have a ton of toys that take up your living spaces, especially the living room.
Having a child means you will no longer have a clean house and baby items will be strewn here and there. However, what do you do when you have company coming at the last minute? Or someone stops by for an unannounced visit? You do not want your living room to look like a toy store! Thankfully, there are tips you can use to keep your home looking tidy and clean without becoming overwhelmed by your baby’s toys. Check out 10 ways to hide toys in your living room below:
#1 Hidden Storage
If you want to keep your living room looking like an adult space, invest in hidden storage. This could be any number of methods from storage containers to leave under the sofa to storage ottomans. Find an option that works well for your living room area to keep the baby toys hidden away.
#2 Toy Chest
A toy chest is a great area for your baby’s toys and can give the baby their own special area. Toy chests come in many colours and material such as wood and plastic so you can find an option that fits your décor.
#3 Decorative Chest
For a more up-scale version of a toy chest, choose a large decorative chest or trunk. This will allow your space to still feel ‘grown up’ but also offer you a place to hide toys your little one regularly plays with.
#4 Storage Baskets
Storage baskets are a great way to decorate your space and offer room for your baby’s toys. Choose a wicker basket, decorative or even metal box style containers to keep the baby toys off the floor!
#5 Entertainment Centre
An entertainment centre is the area in which you house your television and electronic components. You can also use the entertainment centre to store your children’s toys. Use the storage cubbies of a unit or add baskets to the top to hide toys or unwanted clutter.
#6 Baby Area
Another great option is to create a baby area. Choose a personal photo of your baby from the Light Republic Baby Gallery and create a gallery so your baby knows it is their area. Then keep the toys only in this space. Do not allow your baby to move the toys to other areas of the living room. You can include baskets to keep the toys off the floor.
#7 Quick Clean-up Method
It is best to create a clean-up method that will allow you to quickly arrange the living area for comfort. By having extra laundry baskets or storage containers, you will be able to quickly remove the toys from the area, making it easy to enjoy time with your guests.
#8 Shelving Units
Shelving units also make it easy for you to keep the living room area clean. Shelving units can be attractive and decorative and keep the toys off the floor.
#9 Bench Seating
If you have enough space in your living room, you can create bench seating. With an empty corner, you can add an L-shaped storage bench, which you can use to hide toys and unwanted items. This is a great way to add extra seating in the space that looks great and is useful.
#10 Stay Consistent
Once you come up with a plan for keeping the living room clean, stick to it. By staying consistent, you will have a space that is constantly clean and your baby will learn how to clean in the process.
How do you hide toys and other unsightly clutter? Do you have rules in place to keep your living room toy free?
This is a featured post, but I hope it gives you some ideas how to hide toys and make your living room look like exactly that. | <urn:uuid:fd0b4724-9d91-44f4-aff4-0545a81aae82> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.mummyalarm.co.uk/2014/07/10-ways-hide-toys-living-room/ | 2019-06-16T04:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997731.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616042701-20190616064701-00207.warc.gz | en | 0.943758 | 833 |

Suitable for Version 2 Gearbox (M4, M16, MOD5 except MOD5K)
(Write a review)
"Ok lets start off, I just got this today it is wayyyy too short to even remotely fit in the buffer tube. To even attempt to do that I would have to pull the tamaya plug off and snake it through the buffer tube but still is too short. Unless you want to modify something that is brand new don't buy this.
"This wiring set sucks! I just bought two of them for my M4s. When I tried to put the first one in, the motor connectors broke off with no effort what so ever and it was so freakin' short it wouldn't even fit into the power tube. The wire that comes out the rear of the gearbox is so short all you get is the tamiya plug and a few centimeters of usable wire, so unless you're willing to cut the wiring and solder it yourself DO NOT BUY THIS WIRING!!!

I was always going to give some awards at the end of my trip, but so they stay relevant I am going to do some as I go along. So I’m going to split my trip into thirds. Firstly the Americas, then Oceania and Japan, and finally mainland Eurasia. Then finally I’ll sum up the whole thing.
Iguazu, Argentina and Brazil, although Machu Picchu was pretty special out didn’t quite take my breath away in the same way.
Machu Picchu, well that much is obvious. It is an epic site.
The Holocaust Museum, Washington DC, it tried so hard to just give the facts. I learnt a lot about the recent history of the Jews and that reflects heavily on the middle east today. Well worth a visit.
Best tour company
Layana, San Pedro as they gave detailed explanations in English of the sites we were seeing. They also weren’t too pricy.
I have to admit in general I haven’t been too impressed and was going to give it to the Sinh Cafe from my last trip to Vietnam.
New York for it’s incredible range of stuff to do in the day. having half decent nightlife as well and also having excellent transportation.
Santiago, a hidden gem that I didn’t expect to be great. But aside from all it’s attractions seemingly shutting on Sunday and Monday every week it is actually a pretty nice place. Though its worth noting that even in Providencia it does have a sinister feel sometimes, especially after dark (though nothing personally happened to me or anyone I know in Santiago).
Best non-family accommodation
I’m not ranking my family/free accommodation as you all looked after me well so I’m picking the best accommodation I paid for.
Sunny Days, Arica Chile provided all you can eat breakfasts, excellent rooms and good advice on the city as well as a kitchen and lounge area with good cable TV.
Best food for under US$25 (excluding service)
Just in case I get taken to the local equivalent if La Manior I’ve stuck a price limit on this but the winner is Steak in Buenos Aires at a small restaurant at Defensa and Independencia which was above and beyond anything I’d had before.
Pacha Papa, Cusco for it’s excellent food and exquisite service.
Chicago, Buenos Aires is close but frankly it’s too late for me to start clubbing at 2am.
El Soberio. After falling ill I was looked after really well by the people of El Soberio. And I improved my terrible Spanish a bit too.
Best transportation company
Via Barriloche, Argentina for providing good food, drink and comfortable seats for only a little more than the competition.
Most useful material possession
iPod Touch for letting me write these blog posts when on buses and public transport and having lots of other useful information on it.
Plastic playing cards in Cusco for US$0.67 that are fully plastic so should last well.
Postada la bonita for accommodation worth a generous US$10/night costing US$100/night.
The Patrick Levy award for cinematography
When I went to South East Asia my friend Patrick (who doesn’t need much sleep) would watch films before going to sleep in the evening. Therefore I am dedicating this award to him. However even though films you watch while travelling are usually bad I’m giving this award to the genuinely most entertaining film.
And the winner is SHOOTER which was an excellent and clever movie about a presidential assasination. I really want to see the end of it as we arrived in Tacna so I missed it.
Don’t mess with the Zohan I quite enjoyed this movie about the Israeli superspy Zohan but my friends I was with thought it wasn’t that great. | <urn:uuid:ea1c1149-77b6-4bbe-b391-ea6903e79602> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://matthewhutton.com/tag/sacred-valley/ | 2023-01-30T14:49:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499819.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20230130133622-20230130163622-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.957757 | 880 |
14ymedio, Reinaldo Escobar, Havana, 17 March 2021 –With one month remaining until the Eighth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), it has been reported that in the process of updating the 274 Guidelines approved in the Seventh Congress, only 17 will remain, 165 will be modified, 92 will be eliminated and 18 will be added, so that the new document will only have 200 guidelines.
A suggestion is being made to modify 80 paragraphs of the 342 being proposed regarding the document of the Conceptualization of the Economic Model.
It should be assumed that this last writing has a hierarchical level higher than the guidelines, therefore, any variance in the wording of a given topic, however slight, will need to be read with great care.
In the five years that have elapsed since the previous great partisan edict, neither the issue of the practical application of the Guidelines (liniments in popular slang) nor the theoretical formulation of the conceptualization have constituted material for debate in the official or in the independent press, and even less so on the street. “Who cares?” Thalía would have asked in the popular theme song.
I would like to point out the evolution that this issue has had since April 2011, when in the Sixth Congress of the PCC approved that “in non-state matters of management, the concentration of property in legal or natural persons will not be allowed”
At the risk of appearing too optimistic, I would like to point out how the issue of property concentration will remain both in the new guidelines and in the rewriting of the Conceptualization of the model.
Since it is a core issue, I would like to point out the evolution that this issue has had since April 2011, when in the Sixth Congress of the PCC approved that “in non-state matters of management, the concentration of property in legal or natural persons will not be allowed”
It turns out that after five years, on 18 May 2017, to be more precise, the Third Plenary of the Central Committee of the PCC agreed to raise the issue to the next congress in this way: “In non-state management issues, the concentration of property or material and financial wealth in non-state natural or legal persons will not be allowed. Continue updating regulations to prevent them from contradicting the principles of our socialism”.
Perhaps the most significant thing is that “material and financial wealth” was added and that the prohibition was based on “the principles of our socialism”.
When presenting the Conceptualization approved as a proposal at that same meeting of the PCC, the wording of the problem required two paragraphs:
“The appropriation by the holders of non-state forms of ownership and management of part of the surplus of the results of the work of contracted people takes place in a social context in which socialist relations of production prevail, as opposed to social systems based on the exploitation of the work of others”.
“Consequently, the concentration of property and material and financial wealth in non-state natural or legal persons is the object of regulation, so as not to allow it to run counter to the principles of our socialism.”
Here, “what was prohibited” (not allowed) became “subject to regulation”.
It is noticeable that in the highest instance where these details are discussed there are two positions: one, that of prohibiting the concentration of property, and the other, that of only regulating it
However, in April 2016, at the conclusion of the Seventh Congress, the paragraph in the Guidelines was approved in this way: “In non-state forms of management, the concentration of property and wealth in legal or natural persons will not be allowed, but will be regulated”.
And in the Conceptualization approved by that same congress: “The concentration of property and wealth in non-state natural or legal persons is not allowed in accordance with the legislation, in a manner consistent with the principles of our socialism”.
In this back and forth it is noticeable that in the highest instance where these details are discussed there are two positions: one, that of prohibiting the concentration of property, and the other, that of only regulating it and at the same time including in what is prohibited or regulated “material and financial wealth”.
The question of whether the existence of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will be approved in the next congress depends entirely on how this point is written, both in the Conceptualization and in the Guidelines.
The formal approval of SMEs is a point of no return in the often slowed down economic reforms suggested by specialists and demanded by entrepreneurs. Small and medium-sized companies that have a wholesale market and the right to export and import; entities with legal personality backed by laws that protect the freedom to produce goods or provide services, to set prices and hire workforce without being subject to taxes that suck dry their profits.
We’ll need to see if it will follow the line that there can be nothing “that runs counter to the principles of our socialism”.

New bus route designed with Medical Center in mind
Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority worked with University officials to create “Route 52: Park Ave. to URMC,” a new bus route that originates at the East Avenue Wegmans— traveling along Park Avenue, Goodman Street, and Elmwood Avenue—and ends at the Strong Memorial Hospital entrance. The 30-minute trip costs riders $1.
Staff who are leery about letting go of their assigned parking permit may enroll in the free Occasional Parker Program, which allows drivers to receive individual hand tags to display on days when they need to bring a personal vehicle on campus. The program allows 26 opportunities to park on campus each year. Learn more at www.rochester.edu/parking. If you change your mind about using public transportation, you can be reinstated to your previous permit and location.

Guidelines for using fire extinguishers
Environmental Health and Safety has posted guidelines for proper use of fire extinguishers. The office reminds the University community that the only time a fire extinguisher should be used to fight a fire is when the fire department has been notified, you have been trained on how to use the fire extinguisher within the last year, you know and understand the acronym PASS, there is a clear exit behind you when you use the extinguisher, and the fire is small, self-contained, and not spreading rapidly.
To schedule extinguisher training, call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 275-3243.
Applications being accepted for Technology Development Fund

FREIGHTWAVES’ SONAR CHART OF THE WEEK (Feb 17 – Feb 23, 2019)
Chart of the Week: DAT Van Freight Rate Index – National (SONAR:DATVF.VNU)
Like a kid on Christmas, we get to use our new seasonality chart that is a key feature of FreightWaves SONAR release 3.2.
This week’s chart is a “seasonality” chart representing 3 years of the same data set overlaid on the same axes. Each line represents the same trailing twelve-month period for the past three years of the national DAT Van Freight Rate Index, which represents the average U.S. dry van base freight rate per mile with no fuel or assessorial charges. The chart above is showing current year national spot rates starting to align more closely with early 2016 and 2017 levels.
Seasonality charts are useful in seeing changes in year-over-year performance quickly. They are normally used in finance to evaluate financial instruments, such as stocks, or performing financial analysis on data that has seasonal movements, such as revenue. Seasonality charts are very useful when analyzing anything with annual ebbs and flows, however. The freight market is very seasonal as spot rates decline in winter and increase in late spring/early summer. It is useful to look at the annual movements on the same scale to see how each seasonal movement literally stacks up.
The white line represents the most recent trailing twelve months from February 2018 to February 2019. The yellow line represents the previous year, February 2017 to 2018, as indicated in the upper left corner along with the value that corresponds with the ending date. For this chart, the end date is February 15th, with each February 15 value displayed next to the year on the chart legend. Note: the present year’s most recent value is from February 1 due to the fact this index is developed for the settlement of freight futures releasing this spring, so there is a lag in reporting to ensure all rates are final.
The current year is still showing rates above those in 2016 and ’17, but have fallen well below last year’s value. Comparing the February 1 rates, the 2018 value was $1.68 per mile while this year it is $1.36 per mile. The 2016 and ’17 rates were $1.27 and $1.30 respectively.
National spot rates had been well above historical levels starting in September of 2017 and lasting through the summer of 2018 before re-aligning with the previous year’s rates in October of 2018, where it should be noted, the rates were still well above the two and three year ago values. It was not until this late this past December that the most recent year dipped noticeably below the previous year.
Current spot rates are approaching 2016 and ’17 levels more rapidly in the past month as the national freight market normalizes. From September of 2017 to October of 2018 was one of the longest freight market bull runs since the 2009-10 period when the U.S. economy recovered from a recession. The two periods are very different, however, as the economy has been in constant expansion since 2009 and that run was more a return to normal from being on the bottom.
Many economists are calling for a softer 2019, which some current macroeconomic data supports . If we learned anything from the past 18 months, it is that nothing is certain and all it takes is a delayed harvest, a couple of hurricanes, an economic boom, and an exacerbated driver shortage to create an environment for rates to increase 36% on a year-over-year basis.
About Indices presented in this article
(SONAR: DATVF.ATLPHL) DAT Van Freight Rate Index – National – DAT developed the van freight rate indices measuring the average spot rate for dry van freight in seven lanes and four buckets that measure the average spot price in regions. These rates do not include fuel or any assessorial charges due to the fact they will be used to settle freight futures releasing this March. The methodology has to be consistent and clean.

Are you ready for some fun? Because Ace of Events has set the scene and these newlyweds are ready to take on the night! This ravishing reception dazzles with every detail from the decadent cake from IndAroma to the lush floral centerpieces! Maharani Megha and Raja Akil are too cool as they hit the dance floor and show off their best moves. It's a good thing Photographick Studios is on hand to capture it all! See every bit of action at the gallery!
What are your favorite things about each other?
What I like about Akil:
- His sense of humor (he makes me laugh even when I don't want to ;))
- No matter how busy he is, he always makes time for me.
- His huge heart - he's one of the most caring people I've ever met and is a friend to all. He treats my family like his own :)
- He always helps with the dishes after I cook :)
What I like about Megha:
- Her uncanny ability to instantaneously make me smile when I see her.
- Her happy-go-lucky, cup-always-half-full spirit.
- Her incredibly strong family values- which made it so easy for her to become a part of my family. *Her, often times unbelievable, level of patience and support when it comes to my work/career.
What do you two do for fun?
"We love anything where we can just hang out and spend time together. Watching movies, experimenting with cooking, traveling… Honestly, as long as we are together, it doesn't matter what we are doing, we always have a great time just being around each other :)
Ideally, our perfect date is couch time, with an Indian movie and some hot chocolate."
What are you both looking forward to the most as a married couple?
"Getting to see each other every day. After long days of work, knowing that we can come home to each other and just unwind.
Can't wait to expand on all my cooking skills knowing that I will always have a reliable guinea pig and food-taster.
We can't wait to travel around the world together as man and wife, exploring different countries as we continue to grow as a couple.
Finally and officially linking both of our families together as one!"
Where is the honeymoon?
I'll see you tomorrow for even more Maharani magic! | <urn:uuid:4eeda061-4682-4db6-a88f-92481bef4115> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.maharaniweddings.com/top-indian-wedding-vendor-platinum-blog/2014-09-17/4632-bethesda-md-indian-wedding-by-photographick-studios | 2017-03-29T11:18:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190295.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00195-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970932 | 508 |
Something has gone very wrong in the workplace. For many, their work is so distressing that they spend most of the year dreaming of their two weeks in the sun and the retirement to follow. I offer as evidence of this desperately inefficient time-management strategy an advert for Thomson holidays during which we watch a lone, poolside sunbather repeatedly shifting his sun-lounger to catch every possible ray, while we are informed that ‘for every afternoon in the sun you have to work three weeks and two days’. This advert was used to sell summer jet-propelled summer breaks a couple of years back.
There are a number of points about the image conveyed by this advert that are both symbolic and deeply troubling. First, the man is on his own. Are we to assume that he prefers spending his holidays alone, that his perfect escape is to a place where there is only his own company? Second, he is sitting by a swimming pool and yet he never swims. Like so many lives, the really enjoyable activity is missed because the central character, economic man, is distracted by the sun-lounger or his drink or the shadow, or whatever. But most importantly, he is enjoying not being at work because he does not like his work. His holiday represents an escape from his life, which is made unpleasant because of work he undertakes from pressure rather than from choice.
This is the greatest offence that capitalism does to a species who has as one of its central psychological drives the need to carry out useful work in conjunction with others. Again we are persuaded to miss the point, to spend our lives working for holidays and retirement rather than demanding employment that is intrinsically rewarding. I have written about this at great length elsewhere (follow this link to download Arbeit Macht Frei and other Lies About Work), so I am starting this a new strand on the blog which I will come back to from time to time. Please also add your own comments.
A couple of times while applying for funding for research into mining in the South Wales Valleys I was made aware of the ignorance of the nature of working people’s lives by the middle class people who make decisions about them, and the complacency they have when considering the work of others. The shock they feel when their cosy work structures are removed by the new management practices is the only good that I have to say for them. One application for a funding grant was rejected on the basis that ‘Whilst the idea of "participatory employment policy-making" is quite interesting, it is open to the accusation of being somewhat utopian’. In my response I pointed out that even in Medieval Europe, according to a Muttenberg ordinance, ‘every one must be pleased with his work’. According to Kropotkin:
We are laughed at when we say that work must be pleasant, but "every one must be pleased with his work", a medieval Muttenberg ordinance says, "and no one shall, while doing nothing appropriate for himself what others have produced by application and work, because laws must be a shield for application and work."’
My own writing about work is guided by the belief that ‘everyone must be pleased with her/his work’. If that principle is not followed in an economy then the economy is not working properly. We can, and should, do better than an economy where miserable people work in pointless occupations for three weeks and two days just to spend a lonely afternoon by a swimming pool.
Work as it is constituted within capitalism is not only economically inefficient and socially destructive, it is also spiritually offensive. As Schumacher put it, ‘Soul-destroying, meaningless, mechanical, monotonous, moronic work is an insult to human nature which must necessarily and inevitably produce either escapism or aggression, and . . . no amount of "bread and circuses" can compensate for the damage done’, was how Schumacher made this point. | <urn:uuid:7f061358-58fa-4ca7-bf59-525d2310327a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://gaianeconomics.blogspot.com/2007/01/is-it-all-worth-it-for-two-weeks-in-sun.html | 2018-06-25T13:41:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867885.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625131117-20180625151117-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.979474 | 819 |

Shahzahan Bachchu, a well-known poet and writer on humanism and secularism, has been shot dead in his home village of Kakaldi in Bangladesh. The murder of Shahzahan is the the latest in a long string of vigilante attacks in a campaign of murder against humanists across the country in the past five years.
Shahzahan was a political activist who had published both poetry and books about free thought through the Bishakha Prakashani publishing house. He had also served as the general secretary of the Munshiganj district unit of the Communist Party.
Reports of the attack state that four men on two motorcycles shot Shahzahan dead as he sat at a tea stall in his home village before fleeing the scene. Militants and religious extremists had made numerous deaths threats to Shahzahan for a number of years. Speaking to the Daily Observer in 2015, Shahzahan said: ‘Initially I ignored the threats… But after the killings of Washikur Rahman Babu and Ananta Bijoy, I took the matter seriously. Basically my family has become afraid’.
Since 2013, there have been several brutal murders and attempted murders of humanist bloggers in both machete and gun attacks. The Bangladeshi Government has been unable to provide adequate protection to humanists, has been reluctant to bring criminal charges against perpetrators, and in some cases has given in to the demands of Islamists by prosecuting non-religious individuals for blasphemy. The situation in Bangladesh has become so grave that in 2015 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office issued a statement condemning the attacks.
Humanists UK Chief Executive Andrew Copson commented, ‘We are devastated that the spectre of violence has returned to the freethinking community in Bangladesh. Every humanist writer and secular activist and freethinking publisher who has been killed in recent years has been a defender of the rights of others, a lover of humanity and reason and justice. Their murders stand against all these universal values. We once again call on the government of Bangladesh to root out the Jihadi networks perpetrating these crimes, and on the international community to bring pressure to bear on Bangladesh to protect and defends its humanists and human rights defenders.
‘Today as we mourn Shahzahan Bachchu, I would also like to pay tribute to others within the Bangladeshi humanist community who have suffered such violence including Asif Mohiuddin, Ahmed Rajib Haider, Sunnyur Rahamna, Shafiul Islam, Avijit Roy, Washiqur Rahman Babu, Ananta Bijoy Das, Niladri Chatterjee, Faisal Arefin Dipan, Ahmedur Rashid Chowdhury, and Nazimuddin Samad.’

At Humanists UK, we advance free thinking and promote humanism to create a tolerant society where rational thinking and kindness prevail.

Uniloc In Such A Rush To Sue 'Minecraft' For Patent Infringement, It Didn't Even Spell The Name Right
from the yes-in-eastern-texas dept
So why exactly is Mojang getting sued for patent infringement? Well, Uniloc was awarded a patent for a "System and Method for Preventing Unauthorized Access to Electronic Data" back in 2005 (Patent # 6,857,067). The primary claim is that since Mojang has an Android game that uses a network to communicate with an authorization server to perform a license validation check, Mojang has willfully infringed on the patent. The game named in the suit is "Mindcraft"—which of course is not actually the name of Mojang's game. While it is very possible that Mojang may be infringing this patent, Notch stated in a follow up tweet that he is more than willing to "throw piles of money at making sure they don't get a cent". On that same front, this patent could also be invalidated if it is successfully challenged in court.
Perhaps Notch can take some solace in knowing that he is apparently not alone in being sued. According to Reddit, a number of other game companies are being sued for infringing this same patent. This list includes the likes of Gameloft, EA, Square Enix, Halfbrick Studios and a number of other developers. This practice of suing multiple parties for infringing a single patent is a typical sign of a patent troll. It is also a symptom of the huge mess that is software patents.
In a followup blog post, Notch reflected on the idea of software patents and patents in general. He even provided a nice illustration of theft, copyright infringement and patent infringement.
But there is no way in hell you can convince me that it’s beneficial for society to not share ideas. Ideas are free. They improve on old things, make them better, and this results in all of society being better. Sharing ideas is how we improve.The post is short but full of some really good insights. Some of them we have touched on before, such as the idea that patents are actually harmful to the software industry. This suit also illustrates another point we have recently written about: how it is impossible to avoid infringing someone's patent. On the bright side, as more such patent infringement suits are filed and more companies and individuals are harmed by the current patent system, perhaps we will see those in Washington take notice and implement some real reforms.
A common argument for patents is that inventors won’t invent unless they can protect their ideas. The problem with this argument is that patents apply even if the infringer came up with the idea independently. If the idea is that easy to think of, why do we need to reward the person who happened to be first? | <urn:uuid:a40bca51-d1bd-472a-ae6f-08664d0dee01> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120722/09172319787/uniloc-such-rush-to-sue-minecraft-patent-infringement-it-didnt-even-spell-name-right.shtml?threaded=true | 2013-12-11T15:07:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164037762/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133357-00052-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955555 | 580 |
Meso-CRF® skin tightening & cellulite treatments for Slim women
LipoTherapeia | London
CELLULITE AND LOOSE SKIN IN SLIM WOMEN
Like all women, slim women may suffer from skin looseness and cellulite. This is due to both genetic reasons and our unhealthy, sedentary, artificial lifestyle. Some women are born with great genes but after a few years of poor lifestyle (sugar, smoking, alcohol, "the pill", sedentary work, lack of exercise) they end up developing cellulite and skin laxity. While others, born with less than perfect genes, only need a small deviation from a super healthy lifestyle to also develop loose skin and cellulite.
Cellulite, being a kind of fat that is actually attached to the skin itself, accumulates gradually. Every time you overeat, eat unhealthily or over-drink, or even during times when you are too sedentary, a few grams of fat accumulate inside compartments in the subdermis, the lower aspect your skin; as these fat compartments enlarge, they overstretch and injure the connective tissue in the area, causing fibrosis; collagen and elastin is lost and the skin itself becomes looser and less elastic; collagen cells die off and fat cells proliferate replacing them, further leading to skin looseness; blood vessels become weaker and less efficient, causing water retention. Over time, the sum of all these changes manifests as loose skin and cellulite.
The contraceptive pill, or other hormonal contraception, significantly contributes to cellulite and fat deposits on the hips, thighs and butt, due to the excessive, artificial estrogen it provides.
Furthermore, chronic dieting, yo-yo dieting and the lack of protein in the diet of many women today contribute to skin looseness. Skin is made of collagen, elastin and other proteins and without adequate supply of protein from the diet (due to low protein diets) skin gradually loses it's firmness and elasticity. Furthermore, protein - not fat - is the first tissue to be lost when dieting, so constant dieting, fasting, "detoxing" and yo-yo dieting take a toll on skin firmness.
When localised fat, cellulite or skin laxity are established, they are very difficult to remove with just healthy eating and exercise. This is because it is impossible for a slim person to lose weight in order reduce localised fat such as cellulite, without looking gaunt; it is physiologically impossible to reduce localised fat on a specific area by exercising the muscles of that area; and because exercise does not reduce skin laxity significantly or fast enough. So help with a strong anti-cellulite / skin firming treatment and a highly concentrated cream is necessary for results at a reasonable timeframe (e.g. three months).
The strongest skin tightening / anti-cellulite technology and skin FORMULATIONS
The best skin tightening and cellulite removal technology available today is deep tissue monopolar radiofrequency. There are several types of radiofrequency treatments available today, but unfortunately most of them focus on very superficial treatment. In contrast, Deep Tissue Radiofrequency™ focuses on the dermis and subcutaneous fat, where the majority of collagen fibres, cellulite and deep fat are located. Monopolar, deep tissue radiofrequency helps tighten up the skin, reduce local fat, boost circulation and remove cellulite, all at the same time. Electro-mesotherapy, can also help with cellulite/fat removal and skin firming, by nourishing the skin from outside, but only if a concentrated mix of several natural active ingredients is used. And high-power ultrasound cavitation can help break down fatty deposits and cellulite by vibrating fat cells and literally bursting them up via a process called cavitation.
Meso-CRF® combines all these three technologies, at the same time, thereby offering maximum results at minimum cost and at the least possible time. Meso-CRF® is provided with a treatment gel-cream which comprises several high quality, active ingredients in high concentrations and specific to the needs of slim women with cellulite and skin laxity: hyaluronic acid, gotu kola / centella asiatica, caffeine, forskolin, retinol and multiple other actives. The combination of three technologies and multiple, high quality, high purity, high concentration active ingredients aims to fight cellulite, skin looseness offer the best chance to reduce cellulite and boost skin tightening, in a natural, non-invasive way.
LIPOTHERAPEIA: THE SKIN TIGHTENING / CELLULITE EXPERTS
At LipoTherapeia, we only specialise in radiofrequency, cavitation and electro-mesotherapy and we only practise cellulite reduction and skin tightening for the face & body. We provide 1000 such treatments per year (6000 Meso-CRF® treatments provided so far), so you are guaranteed to receive expert consultation and treatment.
Our technique, developed over 6 years and based on our deep understanding of radiofrequency Physics, is the most advanced available today and very specific to deep collagen tightening and cellulite fat reduction (action on the dermis and subdermis). This is in contrast to the majority of RF treatments that work on the epidermis and have no effect on deep skin tightening and cellulite.
The same knowledge ensures that Meso-CRF® is pain-free, non-invasive and requires zero downtime, in contrast to most other radiofrequency treatments.
Of course Meso-CRF® is not a miracle treatment, but if you suffer from cellulite, saggy skin and stretch marks, then Meso-CRF® is arguably the safest and most advanced non surgical anti-cellulite / skin tightening treatment available, provided by a real cellulite expert with 16 years' experience (please note that, as with any treatment or body product, results vary from person to person).

The outcome of Super Bowl XLVII may be in doubt, but that won't keep us from pitting San Francisco vs. Baltimore in other fields of battle such as housing, TV shows (The Wire vs. The Streets of San Francisco) or crab cakes (Blue crab vs. Dungeness).
On second thought, given that this is a real estate blog, and the other two areas are entirely subjective, we'll stick with a housing comparison. Thanks to our friends at Redfin for sharing this infographic with us.
Tale of the Tape: It's significantly less expensive to buy a home in Baltimore and consequently a higher percentage of its residents own rather than rent. In San Francisco there are very few homes on the market and in many cases buyers engage in bidding wars to land a property. If your goal is affordability, it's Baltimore by a few touchdowns. If your goal is rising property values, San Francisco may beat the spread.
As to the other advantages of living on a particular coast, consider that by Sunday night only one of these towns will be able to proclaim itself the home of a Super Bowl champion.

1. Report the rare birds you see, including known “continuing” rarities. This is a no-brainer.
2. Sometimes, report the rare birds you DON’T see. This could be very helpful to those debating a chase trip.
3.Quit being so anal retentive. Birders have the capacity to be bafflingly anal (its all part of the nerd persona I guess), but this is evident online more than anyplace else. It is both funny, frustrating and sad. Stop it.
If 10 birders all tell you this is a Sora, and you think it’s a Virginia Rail, I suggest you take the possibility that this is a Sora into consideration.
4. Listen to the people. The interwebs, aside from being a haven for cat videos, is a great place to learn. For example, and I expect a few of you know what I am referring to….if you photograph a “goshawk” in the middle of Tucson, and the area’s leading birders and everyone else tells you it’s a Cooper’s Hawk…you should listen to them. No need to get defensive.
5. Don’t even bring up using tapes on endangered species. It’s illegal, it disturbs birds, and if you do admit to doing this, you are only going to encourage others to make the same mistake. The internet has the ability to spread bad ideas around just as effectively as good ones.
6. Make your photos available. How many rarities do we see on Ebird with notes like “photos obtained”, and nothing more? Well, where are they?
7. Don’t be an ubermoderator. If a couple off-topic posts happen on a listserv or in a facebook group, I can personally assure you, as the world’s leading birder, that this is not the end of the world. This is related to #3.
8. Don’t be a dick. Don’t instigate personal attacks on people; keep in mind this is about birdwatching, of all ridiculous things. No need to get the blood boiling. If you do embark on this dark and well-worn path, you deserve all the flack you can (and will) get.
“Hi. I was walking down the path of Park X this morning. It was beautiful. There were lots of Morning Duvs and Pilleated Woodpeckers out. Anyways I saw this bird. It looked like a Great Blue Herun. Except it was little. What bird is this?” – Jon and Jane Doe.
9. Maybe its just me, but I’m a bit weary of birdwatchers using a listserv, facebook, etc. as a tool to have birders identify birds for them. Back before so many birders walked around with digital cameras, this didn’t happen very often. I urge less experienced birders to use a bird book before taking their questions to the masses.
10. Have, and embrace, a sense of humor. This is the best way to navigate the internet, I assure you. | <urn:uuid:414bf555-ae03-44a9-adb6-c6cb9cf9265c> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://www.10000birds.com/ten-ways-to-be-a-better-online-birder.htm | 2021-04-21T20:16:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039550330.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210421191857-20210421221857-00040.warc.gz | en | 0.951634 | 672 |

View Full Version : coding languages
10th January 2007, 02:40 PM
I've been using visual basic for about two years now and I think I have all my basics down. I also know some HTML to he extend that I can help myself (frontpage has been a big aid for that). But I'm looking for something else.
I was wondering what other coding languages are out there, which are most used and which are better (why) Thngs like that. Some information on the options probably might help me make a choise.
10th January 2007, 03:04 PM
Languages evolve from need. It all depends on what you are doing.
C came about because there was a need for a language with branching functions, logical operators, and arithmetic operators built in that still allowed low level access to memory; thus making it the choice of language for applications that require access low level access to system resources.
C++ came about because of the obvious lack of object orientation in C; and because someone felt that C was great but could use OOP. C++ is commonly used for almost any application; and is generally one of the most popular languages around.
Perl; a reporting and text processing language came about because there was a need for a language that could do text processing, without writing large amounts of C code that didn't directly pertain to the task at hand. Perl can be used for any application that does a lot of regular expressions, text searching, and things of that nature. It is not generally used for GUI type apps. Perl has many extensions and can be extended to do almost anything that you want.
PHP was designed as a hack for apache to allow it to natively preprocess hypertext before delivering it to a user. It is designed for use on the web. In my opinion while PHP can be used for shell programming in the same way as perl... The size of its interpretter, and the fact that so much of it is meant to handle HTTP headers make it not a suitable language for writing apps that are not web apps. However PHP is a great language for the web.
Java was designed as a language for embedded applications, such as toasters, cell phones, microwaves. Java was originally designed to be platform neutral for this reason; so that any manufacturer could use it. Until recently however java wasn't really used for its originally intended use (now there are java enabled cell phones). Java is known for being a memory hog because of its virtual machine. Java unlike C and C++ does not offer low level access to memory; and instead of pointers (low level memory addresses), java uses references for all objects. In java almost everything except for primitive data types (int, byte, short, long, double, float, char) is an object. Java is not a difficult language to learn, because it does not offer low level memory access... Which means that beginners do not need to learn confusing information about pointers. Java is able to be used for anything; as a web applet, as a servlet/dynamic web page, as a GUI app, or even a console app.
Python is similar to perl in capability; however it is less popular because it is based on the amount of whitespace used rather than ; delimited lines. Where python is more syntatically unique, perl is similar to C.
C# is a language by Microsoft. It is based on the C++ syntax, however it offers optional pointers; it can handle memory allocation either manually or via compiler designed allocation. For this reason C# is popular as a .Net language with more traditional programmers, as they do not have to throw out everything and use Basic.
10th January 2007, 03:49 PM
Ruby is another language that is gaining a lot of ground and might be of interesting in looking into. TCL/TK is another language not listed yet that I've done work in. It's pretty good for scripting and doing gui interfaces. I've also done some work with Scheme, which is like Lisp and personally I found not that enjoyable to code in.
If you were interested in hardware applications, I could help you with Verilog and VHDL.
11th January 2007, 11:31 AM
Personally, I'd say PHP
You say you covered the basics of VB, But now you'v covered Application based stuff, You sould focus on understanding and knowing a server based lanuage, Exspeclly good when you want Client-Server programs
Plus, PHP is pretty easy to learn, Exspeclly if you understand VB as a fair few of the syntaxes are simpler
11th January 2007, 12:24 PM
I have just read that Java is to be freeware from now on, Chickserv is right Java is a sloth, but it has a lot of capabilities and now it's free and within your reach.
11th January 2007, 02:05 PM
being free is always a + in my decision making. I do these things for fun so I don't want to pay if possible.
are all these languages still used? like C, I didn't think people still used that version since C++.
11th January 2007, 04:06 PM
C is probably still the most widely used language in the world. Learning C is definitely not a bad thing, plus a lot of other languages use similar syntax so if you have a good grasp on C you can pick up others fairly quickly.
12th January 2007, 06:19 AM
well my advice is learn what you can and what is on offer is every coding language has its good and bad and sometimes useful and bad.. so if i were you learn as much coding languages as possible.
But i reckon
C+,php,html,java, vb is also very good :) learn as much as you can :)
12th January 2007, 03:04 PM
If you want to go into web development you can't really go wrong with php.
For application development you can't really go wrong with C
12th January 2007, 03:44 PM
You could go better with Java or C++ for application development. OOP languages tend to be easier for applications than straight procedural languages. C++ gives you OOP plus the fun of working with addressing of C.
15th January 2007, 03:05 AM
as fas as i know

Have you used any of them, and if you did, what did you think about it? Which did you like best and why?
17th January 2007, 07:44 PM
I've used Java and C, and I much prefer Java for the fact that you can do so much "more" with an OOP language than a procedural one like C. The applications I've developed would have been next to impossible without an OOP language. I do find myself missing the power C gives with memory though, and for that I imagine C++ is better than either for someone like me. (I think I've said that already).
I've also used HTML, and am trying to learn CSS, PHP/MySQL. HTML is for formatting a webpage, and CSS is, as it's SS (style sheets) implies, is for the styles on the webpage, leaving HTML for format rather than appearance. Those two go nicely together, as do PHP/MySQL for making web applications. Can't comment on which is the best, since they all serve somewhat different purposes. All work well together, so learn all of them? HTML first, though.
19th January 2007, 02:13 PM
mmm lets see...
I doubt assembly language is still used all too much... takes a long time to write anything :P
As others have said, its a language many others are based off of (PHP, C++, Java, C#, and others follow similar syntax)
Compilers are available for C for most machines you can think of.
Personally I prefer using C over C++, as it tends to be a tad unpredictable to me... by unpredictable I mean though its supposed to be OOP, it feels more like somewhat of an OOP layer over a procedural-based system. I don't mean to offend those who like C++, but I'd consider it half of a hack job :P
OOP language (much more so than C++), cross platform, memory hog, slow
great idea, but something should be done about performance & efficiency imo.
Can run on webpages and server-side available as well.
C-ish syntax, server-side
most commonly used server-side language if I'm not mistaken.
ummm I'm grouping these together cuz well they kinda go together :P
.net is ms's version of Java, only that it isn't limited to that one language. It seems to be a bit faster.
C# is very similar to java. Most of .net users who are comfortable with c-ish language tend to use this.
Java language (and api) + .net api
visual basic syntax + .net api
for webpages, works similar to php only with either C# or VB code.
Other languages (custom made) are also possible, such as L# and eiffel or whatever, but C# and VB are the most commonly used ones. (Both have nearly identical features other than the syntax)
ummm there's other stuff too, like perl, python, lisp, and what not, but I have a headache - so I'll cut it short.
It's been stated before, but the best language depends on what you need the program to do and your preferences :P | <urn:uuid:528623a9-f7f0-4e7f-84bd-c591f4f6bdb8> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.giveupalready.com/archive/index.php/t-50328.html | 2014-09-20T11:58:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657133132.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011213-00069-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966521 | 2,054 |

BALTIMORE -- He may have been disappointed when he was sent to Charlotte last month, but Carlos Sanchez hasn’t let it affect his play.
Sanchez’s play at Triple-A has been so good that he’s back with the White Sox, at least temporarily.
The White Sox promoted the middle infielder on Thursday after they placed closer David Robertson on the bereavement list. Sanchez, who appeared in 120 games for the White Sox last season, is hitting .309/.356/.469 with three home runs and nine RBIs in 89 plate appearances at Charlotte.
“It’s never a good feeling for a guy trying to make the team,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “He played well enough in spring training, but you make decisions based on what you need on the roster and it’s a tough one. But he’s always handled that well. Any time he’s gone down there he has gotten his work in.”
Sanchez said he tries to avoid looking at the big picture, which helps him remain focused on a daily basis. After they acquired Brett Lawrie and Todd Frazier in the offseason, the White Sox no longer had an everyday role for Sanchez, who spent most of last season at the starting second baseman. Because he’s only 23, the White Sox told Sanchez they wanted him to play every day and continue to improve. He has taken the message to heart.
“They don’t want to keep me here just to be on the bench,” Sanchez said. “They need me to play every day to keep developing my game, and I took it.
“I feel really good. My game is really good right now, so I’m just going to try to help the team. Whatever they need, I’m going to be there for my team.”
BALTIMORE -- The White Sox feel like they’re in the best position possible to handle the temporary loss of David Robertson, who they’ll be without until Sunday.
The White Sox closer has been placed on the bereavement list to attend the funeral of his father-in-law, who passed away earlier this week after battling cancer.
Robertson -- who has eight saves in nine tries and a 0.87 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 10 1/3 innings this season -- closed out Wednesday night’s four-run win over the Toronto Blue Jays even though it wasn’t a save opportunity. He joined his family on Thursday, which allowed the White Sox time to promote both Daniel Webb and infielder Carlos Sanchez. Sanchez replaced Robertson on Thursday while Webb joined the team on Wednesday after Miguel Gonzalez was optioned back to Triple-A Charlotte.
“We knew a few days ago, so I thought he handled it great,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “As tough as the news is, he knew he was going to need three days. He was with us for a couple of days after he got the news. He pitched in a game and gave us the opportunity to kind of maneuver a little bit. For him to get through this, all the way around it was the best you could hope for.”
The White Sox have utilized a 13-man pitching staff for a big chunk of their current stretch, which includes 19 games in 19 days. But with an off day around the corner, the White Sox chose to go back to a 12-man staff and call upon Sanchez, who could be necessary if any of their four games against the Baltimore Orioles are rained out.
Though Nate Jones is a likely option at closer, Ventura didn’t commit to how he’d manage his ‘pen in Robertson’s absence. He also listed Matt Albers and Zach Duke as potential options. And, Zach Putnam and Jake Petricka have experience in the role dating back to the 2014 season.
Jones picked up his first career save during the team’s last homestand.
“We just talked about treating it just like any other inning, no matter who it is,” Jones said. “We have to close out the sixth, we have to close out the seventh. Even though it’s the final three outs of the game, it’s a little bit different. A lot of people put emphasis on it. But that’s what we’re going to try and do -- just treat it like it’s the whatever inning.”
The White Sox bullpen has been outstanding this season. The group leads the major leagues with a 1.32 ERA. Over the past nine games, White Sox relievers have only allowed two earned runs in 24 2/3 innings (0.73 ERA).
“Those guys have handled it as well as you can,” Ventura said. “They feel for Robby. In a lot of ways they want to help him out as well. Robby is a good teammate and part of this is being able to flow with it. I think these guys are going to step up. That’s what you do.”
The no-hitter drama lasted about two minutes on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Milwaukee Brewers leadoff guy Jonathan Villar made contact with Jake Arrieta’s fifth pitch (95 mph) and knocked it into left field for a soft broken-bat single. The Cubs wouldn’t have any Johnny Vander Meer flashbacks.
Arrieta still continued to press his case to be a repeat Cy Young Award winner, a Game 1 starter in the playoffs and the recipient of a seven-year megadeal worth somewhere north of $200 million. But so much can happen between now and the end of the 2017 season, which means the Cubs have to maximize this two-year window to win a World Series with Arrieta.
Speaking in full paragraphs at his locker for almost 15 minutes on Tuesday, Arrieta had already answered and dismissed the questions about performance-enhancing drugs and his metamorphosis into one of the game’s best pitchers.
The muted clubhouse TVs showing ESPN and MLB Network still had the talking heads running with that chemistry debate for the next two days. To be honest, on some level it felt like Arrieta enjoyed the attention and wanted to get this off his chest.
One week after no-hitting the Cincinnati Reds, Arrieta responded with a low-stress 7-2 victory over the Brewers. This felt like a total mismatch, Arrieta vs. a rebuilding Milwaukee team that is so much closer to the beginning of a five-year rebuilding plan than the end. Ryan Braun – an admitted PED user – got the boos before his at-bats at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs only needed Arrieta (5-0, 1.00 ERA) to throw 92 pitches and pulled him for pinch-hitter Jorge Soler with a four-run lead and runners on the corners in the fifth inning, trying to play the long game.
The front office and coaching staff obviously won’t root against a no-hitter, but that 16-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds was exactly the kind of situation the Cubs outlined in spring training, how they didn’t need to ride Arrieta so hard and could keep him fresh for October after throwing almost 250 innings last year.
Arrieta – who gave up one run across five innings – saw the end of his consecutive quality-starts streak (24) and scoreless-innings run at Wrigley Field (52.2). The Cubs have still won his last 18 regular-season starts and don’t expect anything to throw their ace off his game.
Arrieta got ready for the biggest start of his life – last year’s National League wild-card game – by trolling Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Twitter and telling them the blackout atmosphere at PNC Park “doesn’t matter.”
Arrieta has become a fashion model, signing endorsement deals with SAXX underwear and the Mizzen+Main clothing line. He says he finds the PED accusations to be “flattering.”
If the Cubs keep up this best-in-baseball pace (16-5), Jake will become a legend in Chicago.
“I haven’t seen him change a bit,” said manager Joe Maddon, who last year compared Arrieta to a male Jane Fonda. “He really handles those particular moments when he’s confronted really well, because he’s very matter of fact.
“He’s very self-confident. He knows who he is. So when he answers the questions, he can answer them in a genuine manner and feel really good about himself.
“Wouldn’t we all like to be like that? It’s a pretty good way to live. And I think he’s got it down. He takes care of everything about himself. So I’m all about Jake. We all are. We support everything he does and says.” | <urn:uuid:c321b7ea-5948-4a36-b357-44340938c31f> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.csnchicago.com/article/will-clowe-face-disciplinary-action-fight-shaw | 2016-04-28T23:34:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860109830.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161509-00206-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972893 | 1,904 |

I Sit Alone - Poem by Max D. Hornbogen
I sit alone by my window, while the sun is shining through. So do you think I should get outside, maybe even take a look around. Flowers seem to grow in the summer time.
So I sit alone by my window, while the sun is shining through.
Do you hear the birds singing? Its sounds so beautiful to me.
Your voice is sending me the chills. I can hear you crying and it is tearing me apart inside.
But I only sit by my window, while the sun shines through. I take a look around and I see life all around.
Could I even take a walk, just to let my self-go into the nowhere land?
Feels like the wind is moving around me in different directions.
I can even see the trees moving, as if it was alive. But it was only the wind passing by.
Well I only sit alone by my window, while the sun is shining through.
How could it be that I am here, just waiting for you?
You always seem to take your time, but there is no hurry. I will just let the sun rise up from its bed. Until then I will find my way into the nowhere land.

The Totalitarian Abyss of CommunismMariam, this was a very pathetic attempt by you to warn the world of the evils of Islam...what about Communism? Take Cambodias killing fields for example,the mass murder of nearly one-fourth of the country’s population was a human catastrophe rarely paralleled in human history.Tibet, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, South America, Vietnam, Russia, Afghanistan,Eastern Europe.Starting from Nepal and extending southwards to Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, where they are challenging the rule of the Indian State with their murderous campaign. Their ultimate aim is to overthrow the democratic system in India and replace it with communist dictatorship, of the kind that prevailed in erstwhile Soviet Union (under Stalin), China (under Mao Zedong), Cambodia (under Pol Pot) and in other former communist-ruled countries. It must be noted here that in each of these three countries, communist extremism was responsible for some of the worst genocides in the history of mankind. Experts have estimated that together communist mass killings in these three countries account for nearly half of all deaths by atrocity in the 20th century.PLEASE READ THE AMNESTY REPORT OF THE CHINESE GENOCIDE OF ITS MUSLIM MINORITIES...This post is subject to removal because Mariam Namazys Communist ideology requires a total surrender of personal freedom and privacy, I.D. cards in the UK is a good start! AND, PLEASE REMEMBER...June 12 WAS an historic day -- a day of remembrance of the more than 100 million victims who died under communism's cruel yoke, and a day of resolution that never again will peoples and nations allow so evil a tyranny to terrorize the world. Like ISLAMIC EXTREMISM, Namazy is yet another monster, bent on world domination, with the ultimate goal of total elimination of individual freedom. Yes, this includes you, even if you think that since you call yourself a communist, you would have ended up at the top. (SECULARIST OF THE YEAR!!??)
Iranian: A Complex Identity and Identity Complexes, By Pouya Alimagham"We live in a world where the West, namely the U.S., is exporting its culture on an international scale and is finding a receptive audience the world over. American commentators claim that the people of the world are embracing its culture because its culture is superior while others would contend that it’s more a matter of having the means and technology to export that very culture. Among the many concepts that “culture” can encompass, appearance, style, and beauty can be included.Beauty is a matter of perception. Where one culture views dark hair as beautiful, another culture can find red or blonde hair more attractive. I believe that Iranians, like many other people on this planet, have an infatuation with the West. There’s nothing wrong with admiring other cultures. As a matter of fact, Iran is famous for borrowing venerable traits from other cultures throughout time. This fascination, however, has resulted in associating nominal things like appearance and styles as superior if it’s coming from the West. Here’s some food for thought: Imagine an America and a Europe where most of the continents’ inhabitants had black or dark brown hair and had large hooked noses and this standard was glorified in its influential media and displayed to the rest of the world to consume as the Western standard. If this hypothetical scenario were true, do you think many Iranian men and women would be getting nose jobs and coloring their hair blonde? If the world’s only super power championed such an image, who would reject it? There’s no real way of knowing, but one can speculate. I believe that instead of admiring the American work ethic, we, as in us men and women, admire their stereotypical looks. I say “stereotypical” because there is no single American facial feature, but stereotypically, most people associate white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes as American. Thus, because of Iranian admiration for the West and the U.S. in particular, both men and women employ blonde hairstyles, color contacts, altered noses, etc., and lighter skin is preferred. I can just hear the response, “What if I look good in blonde hair or with color contacts?” I’d say looking good is a matter of perception. What has conditioned you to think blonde hair is attractive and dark hair not so?How can one be conditioned to have such a mindset you ask, here’s a case study: A young man named Reza grew up in Iran. All his life he watched American films and dreamt of immigrating to the romanticized west and marrying a white-skinned, blonde-haired, and blue-eyed woman, and he did just that. Through films and other media avenues that America has employed to export its culture, Reza was conditioned to think that these features displayed by a glamorous character in a standard Hollywood romance film are more attractive. Attractiveness is a matter of perception and by undergoing socialization, Reza perceived such characteristics as appealing. To sum it up, he developed in inferiority complex by believing the other’s traits were more striking than Iranian features.The inferiority complex theme within the Iranian community abroad and inside Iran is precisely the main point of this article. The adoption of foreign superficial elements and standards like appearance is indicative of an internal conflict, an inferiority complex. This complex can further entail more important themes like language and national identity. Within Iran at the time of the Shah, the monarch personified this complex and the mentality persists until today. In terms of Iranians abroad, this unhealthy mindset views the Persian language as weak in comparison to perceived exotic Western languages like French, Iran as backward in relation to America. If given the choice to travel to Italy or visit Iran, our motherland, individuals suffering from an inferiority complex would rather visit the former, even if they have never been to Iran. The inferiority complex is a subconscious issue and therefore, the individual is uninformed about it. And Iran is not alone as most of the developing world has been dealing with these identity issues. Even the movie “The Last Samurai” (which I thought was a weak excuse for a movie by the way) touched on Japan’s inferiority complex/identity crisis that occurred decades ago. What’s more, the issue is at a boiling point in Turkey where some see Turkey as Western and therefore a natural future member of the European Union while others believe that Turkey is Muslim and part of the Islamic community of nations. Furthermore, where Iran is not alone in this problem, neither is the Iranian-American community as many other immigrant communities in America have visible characteristics signifying inferiority complexes and its byproduct identity crises. I’d like to emphasize that many immigrant communities suffer from similar issues, whether they are in OC, America, Canada, or Europe, i.e. African-Americans straightening and/or coloring their hair or bleaching their skin color. As the first generation of Iranians to grow up abroad many of us have suffered from an inferiority complex that has led to an identity crisis and whether we know about it or not, for some it persists today. Take me for example, as a child I disliked speaking Persian in front of non-Iranians because I feared they would ridicule the “kh” sound. Because of my fear of mockery, I wasn’t very proud of the Persian language. I felt the “kh” in Persian made our language seem ghastly and since language is integral to one’s culture and identity, it was one reason I rejected my Iranian identity. How proud can you be of your Iranian identity when you shun the language? But that was long ago and I have since solved my identity question. What about you, is your identity in question? We are the first generation of Iranians to grow up outside of Iran and thus far, we’ve already sacrificed so much of our culture, history, and identity. The Iranian identity is too historic to be disgarded. This is our challenge and we owe to all the Iranians who came before us to be aware of our identity and to represent it.@

Recently, I attended a piano recital where my daughter and a horde of other people’s kids, ranging from ages 5 to 18, performed. With the exception of three of the players (not, unfortunately, my daughter), every single one of the piano students made big mistakes.
Actually, that’s putting it kindly: they mostly stunk. And yet, there was applause. Cheers, even. The Sunday afternoon dragged on interminably as sour notes built. These kids had six months to work on their pieces, polishing them to perfection. This was supposed to be a command performance, of sorts. But instead, we listened to mediocrity.
I primarily blame the parenting and teaching culture at large for this. That whole “positive self esteem” movement has really messed with the idea of real achievement. While my daughter was waiting her turn, she muttered to her father that she was nervous. “What if I make a mistake?” she asked him. Knowing how little she seemed to practice, I figured she’d be lucky to just make one mistake.
“Don’t worry about it,” he replied. “Everyone makes mistakes.”
“On the other hand, “ I added, “you might want to do a really great job, since everybody’s sitting here on a Sunday.”
He glared at me. Obviously, I was not a supportive parent. Then our kid sat down at that grand piano and really stunk the place up. When she finished and came back to her seat (rather sheepishly, I thought), her dad said “Good job.”
Good job??? Give me a break. It wasn’t a good job. It was a mediocre job. And it wasn’t just my daughter doing a crummy job. The majority of the kids screwed up constantly, without any sort of sense of self-consciousness about it. After all, their teacher (a fairly hardcore Russian lady who seems unlikely, at her core, to put up with this nonsense) had even told them that everybody makes mistakes. The kids weren’t competing; there was nothing at stake here. And since all these kids are used to adults arranging their lives around their kid schedules, the fact that we all sacrificed a Sunday for this didn’t impress them, either. What else do we have to do than sit around listening to Mendelssohn being utterly demolished?
So I didn’t say anything, one way or the other, about her recital piece. Her stepfather patted her once and said, “Well, at least you showed up.” I thought that was kind.
Now, I’m not some crazy Tiger Mom with a musical agenda. I’m no nonsense when it comes to school (where my daughter has no problems with performance whatsoever), and mellower when it comes to extra curricular activities like piano. I’m not going to hang over her, screaming that she practice every day for hours. As a result, she doesn’t practice as much as she should (obviously, since her recital was terrible). But, I also know that I don’t nag her much about schoolwork, either, and she manages to handle her own schedule quite nicely. I’ve heard her practice oral reports in her room for hours (and then score great grades on them).
I think it all comes down to environment. Anna goes to Mirman, where top performance is stressed and work is pretty competitive. Mediocrity is never rewarded. Mistakes aren’t punished, but no one up at that school is going to tell her she’s done a good job on something when she most decidedly hasn’t; it would be an insult to her intelligence.
But then she goes to piano, where nothing is competitive, she’s told it’s fine to make mistakes, and no one has impressed upon her that there’s anything at stake (including, I suppose, pride) if she screws up. It doesn’t matter what I say about it, since I’m just one voice and she has many telling her something very different. There’s no incentive to work really hard and play a piano piece perfectly if everyone gets a rose and applause, right?
This experience of reward for mediocrity extends beyond the piano recital, though. Recently, I’ve seen blog posts from mothers bemoaning the recent school practice (both public and private) of having “graduation” every time the kids switch a grade. What, exactly, makes moving up from 4th to 5th grade an accomplishment? Isn’t that the least we can expect? Matriculation from lower to middle school, or from high school to college, makes perfect sense; one marks a boundary from childhood to early adolescence, the other a switch from home and comfort to a completely different living and educational situation. But, if the kids “graduate” every year, what becomes special about graduation, anyway?
I’m planning on switching piano teachers soon. While I have no issue with Anna learning to play and enjoying it, I’m tired of the recital charade twice a year. It’s meaningless, and in fact might be harmful. We do our children no favors rewarding lousy performance. Later in life, just showing up isn’t going to cut it, and kids who have been raised this way will be confused later by the lack of praise directed their way. Some competition, some pride, and some high expectations are all great things to give our kids; without these things, they’re going to find life in the real world difficult indeed.

Cardinal Sanchez’s nephew reveals his last ‘big bang’By Jocelyn R. Uy
Philippine Daily Inquirer
As Jose Cardinal Sanchez was laid to rest in a tomb especially prepared for him in Quezon City on Monday, his relatives hoped that the “big bang” that would accompany his passing was not one caused by an erupting volcano but the realization of his last crusade against the reproductive health (RH) bill.
Three days following his death on Friday, Sanchez, 91, was seen to his final resting place in a crypt at the Cathedral-Shrine of the Good Shepherd by family, relatives, friends and some 100 members of the clergy—30 Filipino bishops and roughly 70 priests.
The funeral Mass was presided over by retired Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, one of the two surviving Filipino cardinals.
In a speech at the funeral, the cardinal’s nephew, Manolo Sanchez, told the hundreds of guests that the momentous events in the prelate’s life had always been marked with a “big bang.”
Manolo recalled that his uncle, a native of Pandan, Catanduanes, was ordained a bishop in Legazpi City in 1968, simultaneous with Mt. Mayon’s destructive eruption. He was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 1991 at the same time that Mt. Pinatubo erupted.
Sanchez was the fifth Filipino to be elevated to the Vatican’s College of Cardinals, whose vital functions include advising the Pope on Church matters and electing a successor following the death of a Pope.
“At his bedside, I told him there might be another big bang when he leaves us although I said, ‘I hope not’ and he just smiled,” recounted Manolo. The cardinal succumbed to multiple organ failure after a weeklong confinement at Cardinal Santos Memorial Medical Center in San Juan.
‘In love with God’
He was to turn 92 on Saturday.
“I heard the homily of his Eminence Cardinal Vidal, that his (Sanchez) last crusade was to fight the RH bill and I just hope that the ‘big bang’ will be the realization of his last crusade,” Manolo said.
In his homily, Vidal described Sanchez as a man “with profound faith” and “truly in love with God and his Church.”
Vidal stressed how Sanchez, even at an advanced age, chose to leave the Vatican, his home for 25 years, and return to the Philippines to help Filipino bishops fight the controversial family planning measure, which espouses the distribution of free condoms and other artificial contraceptives to Filipino couples.
“When he came home two years ago at age 90, not a few raised their eyebrows when he said he wanted to go home to lead the fight against the RH bill,” said Vidal.
“Certainly, there isn’t much a 91-year-old can prove; 91 is no longer a productive age [but] if all we ever think about fighting is the open field of battle, we may have missed the more important battlefield of the human conscience,” said Vidal.
He stressed that old people may easily be dismissed by the young as obsolete “but it is often the elderly that can speak effectively on the conscience of the people.” The deceased cardinal knew just that, he said.
Sanchez may not have completed his mission to fight the RH bill, which is still undergoing plenary debates in Congress, but the bishops vowed to continue his advocacy for family and life.
Simple granite tomb
“The bishops will try to concretize the advocacy of his Eminence,” said Pampanga Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, former chair of the Catholic Bishops’ Episcopal Commission on Family and Life.
Following the funeral Mass, Sanchez’s casket was brought to his final resting place—a simple black granite tomb—in a horse-drawn carriage adorned with white flowers. Braving the heavy drizzle, loved ones joined the short procession to the crypt just behind the cathedral.
Friends rendered tearful songs, including the cardinal’s favorite, “I Believe,” a hit song in the 1950s, as his tomb was being sealed. Marking his tomb is a golden frame of his coat of arms that reads: “Teach me to do thy will.”

Because I tend to talk about a lot at once, here's a summary so you can skip to the part that interests you: Duel Cafe, upcoming conventions, my next big project, livestreams, "musings" on my gallery and tagging pictures
Preorder Set APreorder Set BPreorder Book Only
I'm not that great at self-advertising, which is perhaps why I tend to make way more sales at conventions than online. ;w;
If you are waiting til the last minute to decide if you want to order or not....it's very nerve-wracking for me! XD;;
I will be attending the following conventions this year (more may be added):
Anime Weekend Atlanta
September 29 - October 2, 2016 Atlanta, GA Website - Facebook
About my current stock: My current lineup of prints (as visible here) WILL NOT BE REPRINTED, with the exception of my most-popular designs. This means that when I sell out, they will be sold out once and for all. For example, a few that won't be re-stocked are my prints of Free!, Love Live!, Batman: Arkham Knight, and F/SN: Unlimited Bladeworks.
I only have a couple of goals for this year, because I've learned from past errors that having too many big goals in one year is not a good idea for me
Perhaps the largest of these, aside from my artbook, which won't really be wrapped up until all the preorders have shipped, is another original project called "Cold Hands". Some of you may remember my AoH character, Enko? Cold Hands is her original story, and I'm attempting to write it as a light novel, with the goal of self-publishing it next summer. I used it for NaNoWriMo 2013, and plan to use it again for NaNo this November. In the meantime I'm reworking the plot and solidifying the world the story takes place in.
Besides that, in the coming months I plan to work on my YGO! fanfic, new prints, commissions, and more Duel Cafe fun (I really enjoy it XD)!
I'd like to get back into livestreaming every week! Yesterday's stream was quite fun even though I didn't know what I was doing half the time XD I don't have any set schedule in mind, so I'll just stream when I feel like it, but it will probably be in the second half of the week (Wed-Fri).
My Disjointed Gallery
I realized not too long ago how very scattered my gallery is. Until recently, I haven't had any real focus in what I upload, even though I may have been drawing a certain type of thing *cough*YGO*cough* a lot offline. A glance in my gallery offers you original art, informational posts, commissions, and a mix of fanart...and then there are the sketches, graphics, photos, and memes...
Thinking about all of this, it's amazing to me how many of you have watched me even though my gallery is only just starting to have a theme to it. I have no idea why you've watched me - I've just been a scatterbrained kitty uploading all the random things ;v; But thank you very much! I appreciate every one of you ;v;
The Woes of Tagging
For many years my participation in the YGO! fandom (whenever I say "Yu-gi-oh/Yuugiou/YGO" I always mean the Duel Monsters series) has been solely offline. Primarily I drew fanart on paper, and wrote fanfics on paper and the computer, never uploading a lick of it to the internet. The only realm I observed online was fanfiction, because most fanart I found aside from doujinshi was drawn by six-year-olds who...needed more practice ;v; So a lot of my YGO fandom experience has been my own creation and that of fanfiction.net and similar sites.
Even the way I refer to each character is shaped by fanfiction, and more specifically the fanfiction of 2006 and earlier, which has presented more of a problem than I thought it would when I began tiptoeing into the fanart side of the fandom ;v;
For example, "Yami" (as a name) to me always means "Yami Yugi" and that "name" sticks even though I know his actual name is "Atem/Atemu". (So when I say "Yami" that's who I mean.) I make a distinction between past and present, which isn't uncommon, but maybe less common in the fanart realm than in fanfics? Should I be tagging my art with his actual name then?? (The stupidest question ever, I know.) I say Malik, you say Marik, but we probably mean the same person... I think?
Matters have been complicated further since I started uploading to Pixiv and my tagging woes followed me.
If you've secretly wondered why I call a character one thing rather than something else, or why I keep failing to tack on the "Duel Monsters" to the end of the series title, perhaps this will explain. ;v; In addition to the fact that I've only seen the English dub and read part of the English manga, and the subbed first series "season 0". One of these days I'll try to watch the Japanese second series "Duel Monsters"... I feel like a bad fan for not having watched it but it's so hard to find ;A; (A watcher sent me a link several months ago but I'm highly skeptical of streaming sites that aren't official.)
In other news, Happy Friday!

'pleasures in prospect': an introduction to the Cape de Verds Notebook
The Cape de Verds Notebook takes its name from the archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the western coast of Africa. The notebook is the first of Darwin's Beagle field notebooks to be used and therefore contains his very first recorded observations during the voyage of the Beagle. Right from the opening pages the notebook contains a rapidly written torrent of calculations, geological sections, measurements of angles, temperatures, barometer readings, compass bearings, diagrams and sketches. As such it is an extraordinary document, which vividly records how in the initial weeks and months of the voyage Darwin was maturing from a mere trainee into an accomplished geologist who would be taken seriously by the specialists of his day.
The notebook can be said to cover the first half year of the voyage, although it overlaps in April 1832 with the second notebook, Rio. The first dated entry in the Cape de Verds Notebook is for 18 January 1832, three weeks after the Beagle left England, and the last is for 10 June 1832. The notebook therefore covers his birthday in February when a very seasick Darwin turned twenty-three.
Cape Verdes, January 1832
The Cape de Verds Notebook deals firstly with the volcanic Cape Verde Islands, [Republica de Cabo Verde]. The previously uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century. Darwin later realised that the animals and plants bear a close relationship to those of the neighbouring continent of Africa. When visiting the volcanic Galapagos Islands three and a half years later, he saw for himself how the animals and plants there were different from those in the Cape Verdes, yet obviously bore an identical relationship to those on the neighbouring continent of South America. See introduction to the Galapagos Notebook. The significance of these relationships became clearer to Darwin in the months leading up to his return visit to the Cape Verdes in September 1836, as he pondered why these otherwise similar volcanic archipelagos were populated by such different animals and plants.
The Beagle arrived in the Cape Verdes on 16 January 1832, after twenty-one days at sea, and spent twenty-one days in the islands. In his Autobiography, p. 77, written for his children and grandchildren forty-four years later, Darwin recalled how 'the very first place which I examined, namely St Jago [Sao Tiago] in the Cape Verde Islands, showed me clearly the wonderful superiority of Lyell’s manner of treating geology, compared with that of any other author, whose work I had with me or ever afterwards read.' Darwin had immediately plunged himself into theory, lapping up the first volume of Charles Lyell’s highly important new book Principles of Geology (1830), which was given to him by FitzRoy.
Much has been written about Darwin’s geologizing at St Jago, most recently and in most detail by Pearson and Nicholas 2007. Herbert 2005 devotes a whole section of her book to his collecting and recording of sections and specimens and provides photographs of his actual specimens. They can be seen today at the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences in Cambridge. Herbert explains how the young Darwin appropriated Lyell’s method of geological interpretation, which was based seeking causes and degrees of change currently occuring (erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes etc.) a method known as actualism. Lyell’s particular version of actualism, which later became known as uniformitarianism, argued that in reconstructing the geological past one should assume that the intensity of such causes of change had been more or less uniform throughout time. See Rudwick 2008. Darwin applied Lyell's method to unraveling St Jago’s recent volcanic past, especially in relation to Quail Island [Santa Maria] and Flag Staff [Signal Post] Hill. There a band of limestone exposed in a cliff and obviously composed of marine fossil material and now elevated well above sea level, provided clear evidence of past subsidence and uplift.

The Cape de Verds Notebook records Darwin's on-the-spot geological section on the very first page (p.1b). After his disappointment at not being able to go ashore at the Canaries, to see for himself the wonderful sights described there by Humboldt and dreamed of in Cambridge, Darwin was ecstatic to find that his geological skills were good enough to understand almost immediately what he was seeing in the Cape Verdes.
Darwin’s field training the previous summer in North Wales with Adam Sedgwick, combined with his reading of Lyell and what he was seeing with his own eyes intoxicated him with the realisation that he too could become a geologist and explain the past events that had shaped the natural structures before him. In his Autobiography, p. 81, he flashed back to the moment he first imagined his own geological book: 'That was a memorable hour to me, and how distinctly I can call to mind the low cliff of lava beneath which I rested, with the sun glaring hot, a few strange desert plants growing near and with living corals in the tidal pools at my feet.'
In the long run Darwin’s Lyellian conversion was perhaps unfortunate for John Stevens Henslow, who recommended Darwin to read Lyell’s book, and who acted as his scientific champion before and during the voyage. Henslow might have taken the Captain’s offer of a place onboard himself if domestic commitments had not prevented him, and may in some ways have regretted that Darwin’s experiences on the voyage eventually turned him away from the traditional theory of the Earth's history as a series of cataclysms. Henslow had, after all, asked Darwin to read Lyell’s book, but ‘on no account to accept the views therein advocated’. (Autobiography, p. 101.) Which of Lyell's views were not to be accepted is not entirely clear.
When Darwin revisited the Cape Verdes in September 1836, he struck through parts of his foolscap 1832 geology notes from the islands (now in DAR32), especially their discussion of 'the long disputed Diluvium' i.e. deposits which some still took to be relics of the Noachian flood, and we can judge from this the extent of his increased commitment to Lyell’s actualistic methodology. This methodology was to remain a cornerstone of Darwin’s own for the rest of his life. He had seen (and experienced) enough evidence of the forces at work on the Earth’s surface fully to accept Lyell’s explanations. For further discussion of Diluvium see the introduction to the B. Blanca Notebook and Herbert 2005, p. 397 note 59.
Although Darwin accepted Lyell’s actualistic methodology, he came to reject Lyell’s uncompromising belief in a steady state or non-directional (‘uniformitarian’) Earth history. In the second volume of Lyell's book, which Darwin read at the end of 1832, Lyell argued, applying actualism, that since no one had ever seen a new species appear by natural means the origin of species must be some sort of supernatural process. Since new species seemed to appear regularly in the strata to replace those which became extinct (to maintain his steady state Earth), there must be ‘centres of creation’ to explain the appearance of new species in new environments. Darwin had, by 1836, realised that the fact that the plants and animals on the Cape Verdes were of an African cast was because that is where they had originated. Any Cape Verde ‘centre of creation’ was a fiction.
The diagram on the inside front cover shows how FitzRoy used his sextant to help Darwin calculate the height of a Baobob tree. A very similar diagram occurs in Darwin’s Beagle diary, p. 29, entry for 20 January and the accomplished sketch on p. 5a is almost certainly the one Darwin mentioned in his Beagle diary as by FitzRoy. There are also references on pp.10a and 40b to Robert McCormick, the Beagle’s surgeon (the role normally doubling with naturalist).The first known use by Darwin of his wonderful word ‘entangled’ occurs on p. 17b. See Herbert 2005, p. 397 note 7. This word is evocatively used in the last paragraph of Origin, p. 489.
St Paul's Rocks, February 1832
From the Cape Verdes the Beagle crossed the equator and called at St Paul’s Rocks [Penados de Sao Pedro e Sao Paulo] on 16 February. There Darwin could immediately see that the Rocks were not volcanic (see Armstrong 2004). The Rocks are in fact still of great geological interest since unlike almost all oceanic islands they are indeed non-volcanic and Darwin’s specimens are still valued for this reason today. See Barlow 1967, p. 54, and Herbert 2005, p. 116. On p. 77b Darwin compared a gneiss rock he saw on St Paul's to one from Bahia, and on p. 49b he noted the layer of St Paul's ‘dung’ [guano] which coats the rocks there, which he later described in Volcanic islands p. 45.
Fernando de Noronha, February 1832
The Beagle remained almost entirely in the southern hemisphere for the next four and a half years. She next called briefly at the island of Fernando de Noronha, which appeared to be based around a plug of volcanic rock, on 20 February (see p. 44b). The lichen mentioned on p. 45b is recorded as Darwin’s dry specimen 309 'from the highest peak of F. Noronha'. See Zoology notes, p. 372 and Armstrong 2004. Darwin jotted a note on p. 53b wondering if the lack of active volcanoes on the Atlantic side of South America indicated 'no volcanic influence East of Andes!'
The wonderfully evocative line from p. 46b is from the sea passage south after this stop, and is dated 25 February. The title of this introduction is taken from that passage. The following ten pages of the notebook seem to be reflections on geological features previously seen, with Darwin exercising his strengthening theoretical muscles while cruising at sea.
Bahia, March 1832
The Beagle was next stationed for nineteen days at Bahia [Salvador] where, for the first time, at the end of February, Darwin experienced the natural beauties of the tropics. There are many traces in the notebook which give a hint of his exhileration at the time of writing and which are developed in classic pages from his Beagle diary. Many of these he published to great acclaim in his Journal of Researches in 1839, or have since been published in the letters he wrote home (see Correspondence vol. 1). In Bahia Darwin had his first taste of the New World proper. Here he first encountered the ‘Primitive’ [i.e. ancient] igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Brazilian continent (see for example p. 56b), albeit covered with the more recent ‘Diluvium’ See Pearson 1996. On p. 72b he switched finally to 'gen[eral] obs[ervations', i.e. not geology, describing a delightful interaction with some apparently aggressive ants, and attempting a sketch of a spider’s web.
Abrolhos Islets, April 1832
The Beagle left Bahia on 18 March for a cruise down to Rio where she arrived, via an examination of the Abrolhos islets, on 4 April. There is a dramatic demonstration of the enduring value to Darwin of his field notebooks in the 1 November 1839 letter he wrote to Humboldt (Correspondence vol. 2, p. 239) in which he copied out the depths and temperatures of the sea off the Abrolhos from p. 13a of the notebook. He expanded on this in his section on Rio in South America, pp. 142-4.
Rio de Janeiro, April-June1832
There is a letter from Darwin to his second cousin William Darwin Fox, dated May 1832 and today preserved at their old Cambridge College, Christ’s. In it Darwin tried to convey his excitement at geologizing: 'it is like the pleasure of gambling, speculating on first arriving what the rocks may be; I often mentally cry out 3 to one Tertiary against primitive, but the latter have hitherto won all the bets.' (Correspondence vol. 1, p. 232).
Henslow received a letter from Darwin written in Rio on 18 May 1832 from which he read extracts (together with extracts from other letters from Darwin) to the Cambridge Philosophical Society in November 1835. These were printed as a pamphlet dated 1 December 1835 which was Darwin’s first true scientific publication (Darwin 1835). Henslow sent copies to Darwin’s father and these had the affect of convincing Dr Darwin that his son would one day make a handsome return on his father’s investment in the voyage. The pamphlet also ensured that Darwin was being discussed in scientific circles back home. Darwin first learnt of the pamphlet in a letter from his sister Catherine which he did not receive until June 1836. He was at first horrified by the news as he would have preferred the chance to check the extracts for accuracy, but quickly realised that this was a minor issue: 'after reading this letter I clambered over the mountains of Ascension with a bounding step and made the volcanic rocks resound under my geological hammer!' (Autobiography, p. 82).
In Rio Darwin was finally able to settle down for a period of three months, partly as an unplanned bonus from the Beagle's needing to return north to Bahia to check a longitude discrepancy. See Correspondence vol. 1, p. 227. It was while the Beagle was away that three of Darwin's ship-mates, including the young Charles Musters, died of malaria. The last entries in the Cape de Verds Notebook, from about p. 76b, were made in Rio, as Darwin started to collect new species of animals and plants as well as rock samples. See the excellent summaries of his zoological and botanical collecting from Rio provided by Barlow, Keynes, Porter, Smith, Steinheimer and others and all available on Darwin Online. These Rio entries overlap with the Rio Notebook which deals with Darwin’s famous excursion to the plantation where he encountered the realities of slavery.
On p. 84b there is a vague but very tantalizing entry that seems reminscent of some of Darwin's later speculations about species:
Scale in nature amongst spiders kept up by hymenop[tera] in absence of Carab[id beetles] supported by the Ants. — may after been less of insects & caterpillars
This entry is clearly, at least in part, the precursor to the following sentence in Journal of researches, p. 39: ‘Do the very numerous Arachnidae and rapacious Hymenoptera [in Brazil] supply the place of these carnivorous beetles?'
The last lines in the notebook, on p. 85b and dated 10 June, are among of the most poetic and beautiful Darwin ever wrote.

Head, Department of Intensive Care,
Erasme Hospital Free University of Brussels,
Medical professionals have long recognized the therapeutic benefits of regulating body temperature. In recent years, however, therapeutic hypothermia has garnered increased attention for its potential applications in treating several critical medical conditions. Indeed, this cool therapy has become a hot topic in the intensive care community.
Over the course of the past several years, medical professionals have conducted a number of cutting-edge studies regarding new induction methods and new applications of therapeutic hypothermia. New cooling methods have come onto the market, and more information is now available about the relative advantages and drawbacks of these methods. In addition, new applications of therapeutic hypothermia, encompassing a variety of medical conditions, are being explored. These studies have sparked renewed dialogues among critical care practitioners regarding the safety, effectiveness and practicality of induced hypothermia in treating a variety of conditions.
Despite the potential benefits of induced hypothermia for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, amonremain wary of the negative side effects sometimes associated with therapeutic hypothermia. Thus, steps towards incorporating induced hypothermia into intensive care therapies are tempered by concerns that the risks of the procedure may not justify the benefits gained from its use.
This issue of ICU Management joins the dialogue on therapeutic hypothermia by highlighting some of the therapy’s applications and exploring managerial aspects of its implementation. First, Professor Girbes discusses steps that the most effective ways for an ICU manager to introduce therapeutic hypothermia into the ICU. In particular, he focuses on change management techniques that may smooth the transition to this new practice. In addition, Dr. Nolan provides an overview of the application of therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest, highlighting those factors that require particular attention when applying hypothermia in this case. These instructive articles increase our awareness and understanding of therapeutic hypothermia and enable us to make better-informed decisions regarding its implementation in our own critical care settings.
As new technologies continue to evolve and old procedures take on new forms and uses, ICU Management hopes contribute to dialogue in the critical care community by highlighting key technological developments and considerations for our readers. Induced hypothermia is no exception. We hope that you will find the articles in this issue a useful starting point to examine the possibilities for therapeutic hypothermia in your own facilities, weighing the practical medical and administrative ramifications of introducing this therapy into your specific clinical setting. | <urn:uuid:54c4e5e0-2bdc-4659-8fa2-089581ae1d9d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://healthmanagement.org/c/icu/issuearticle/hypothermia-in-care | 2017-10-19T10:54:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823282.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019103222-20171019123222-00708.warc.gz | en | 0.918254 | 509 |

If you’d have asked me 20 years ago, where would I be living when I turned 40, the most unlikely answer would have been Finland, or the Northern Hemisphere for that matter. Still here I am. I’m proud to say that I’ve lived in Finland for over 10 years now. I’m not so proud when I say that I still manage to butcher the Finnish language in one form or another every single day. Finns, however are very forgiving and even quite encouraging if you show even the slightest willingness to try and speak Finnish. So I persevere.
I have, however found my place, as they say. I can honestly say I love living here. I will never be a Finn, and unfortunately the longer I live away from Australia, and particularly Tasmania, the less Australian I feel. I’m no different to any of the thousands of people who migrate, immigrate every single day.
I like words and I like writing in English and talking in English. Plus I want to share the country I call home.
Basic details about me … in no particular order of importance: wife, mother, lover, daughter, friend, sister, aunt, cyclist, worker, reader, cook, chef, entrepreneur, crew member, cousin, Leo, grey haired, Australian and Finnish.
I’ll try to keep it interesting in the meantime!
Some Finnish phrasology to get you started:
Tasmanialainen: one who is native of Tasmania
Kanerva (the name I post under): The Finnish word for Heather (my real name)

Let's talk politics for a few minutes. As in winning the White House after two dismal showings by the Republican Party.
The Chicago Democrat, who still sneaks smokes when no one's looking, is president again in large part thanks to Republican errors.
He has no business occasionally occupying the Oval Office, corroding trust in American institutions, violating all laws of fiscal sanity, talking through his hat, monitoring Americans. He had to spend nearly a billion dollars of other peoples' money last year to get millions fewer votes than he did the first time.
Here's a news flash for Republicans: As Obama whispered to Russia's president last year, 2012 was his last election. He ain't running again. In 2016, Democrats will nominate the tired old face of Hillary Clinton. Start creating an achievement record for that struggle.
Yes, she was a nominee lock in 2008 too. But back in those days she was just a former first lady and ineffective senator. She's added to her resume since then as the most global-galavanting secretary of State in history, largely free of the acrid political rancor Obama was stoking in D.C..
And, more importantly, this time Clinton's opposition will be the even more tired face of Joe Biden, the gaffey guy who publicly admitted in 2008 that she would be a better VP. Barring some major development, nomination lock Hillary.
And Washington Republicans are doing just about everything they possibly can right now to ensure that Bill Clinton, the impeached Philanderer-in-Chief, will become the nation's first First Man. That takes some kind of political skill. And stupidity.
Witness Tuesday's big-news House vote on abortion. A 228-196 'victory' to ban abortions nationally after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Woo-Hoo. High-fives in the cloakroom. We be pure.
Of course, that bill is going nowhere. Everyone knows that. It's like hitting it over the fence in batting practice. The Democrat Senate won't even consider it. Obama promised a veto.
Simply put, that House vote could not possibly mean less. To go on the record? Seriously? Is there one sentient American on either side unaware of decades of Republican opposition to abortion?
No one here doubts the sincerity or morality of its supporters or sponsor, Arizona's five-term Rep. Trent Franks. Family man. Two kids. Epic abortion opponent. In the state legislature, his tie-tack even depicted baby feet.
They say the measure was aimed at preventing another Kermit Gosnell case. But the awful deeds of the Philadelphia late-term abortionist were already illegal. Hence, the prison terms. Another law would somehow fail to not stop it better?
Rep. Trent Franks
First of all, Americans are sick of a legislator-president.
George W. Bush has a higher approval now than Obama, for pete's sake. Voters had to pick a legislator in 2008. So, they opted for the young, historic one who talked good.
They took a good-faith flier on him. Some may still "like" him, while doubting they can afford him. But no one can endure Obama's 1,611 days in office and more than 120 rounds of golf and be impressed by his chief-executiveness. Which isn't a word but should be.
There's an important place for the slippery legislative mind-set in America's political system. It's called the legislature.
Historically, modern Americans prefer decisive presidents who were governors, generals and vice presidents, in roughly that order. Executive experience doesn't guarantee White House success; ask Jimmy Carter.
But it gives a better shot at election than legislative experience; ask John Kerry, Bob Dole, Gerald Ford, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Al Gore, Walter Mondale, Barry Goldwater.
That's why Hillary agreed to bolster her resume as chief executive of the State Department for her nemesis. That's why Mike Pence and Bobby Jindal quit the House to go govern Indiana and Louisiana, respectively.
Here's what Republicans should do: Stop falling for the Democrats' bait to argue about their issues. Who agrees to play every game on the road? And for Lincoln's sakes stop telling us what you would stop--abortion, gun control, ObamaCare, tax hikes, death tax, immigrant DREAMS, yada-yada.
Instead, start telling us what you would do--to make government more efficient, leaner, smaller, to educate children better, to ensure more efficient healthcare, to protect Social Security and Medicare/aid, to create a safe climate for small business to create jobs, to give taxpayers their money's-worth.
You know, there was a time when immigrants embraced the GOP as welcoming them, their ambitions and their children's votes for generations; ask William McKinley.
Ideological purity itself should not be the conservative goal. Better government is, through the freer-enterprise system, not government dictat.
Clinton will spend the next year seeking distance from Obama. She may even criticize him. Her husband has already started in "private" sessions leaked to media.
For four years Clinton was senior member of Obama's cabinet, a crucial cog in his liberal big government administration. She's from Chicago too. She sat at his right hand, not Biden. Make those links, over and over.
She leaves a treasure trove for opp research gnomes to mine--the undeclared war in Libya and resulting chaos, the policy failures in Egypt and Tunisia, the deadly inaction on Syria, the widening gap with Israel, ineffective sanctions on Iran, the unexplained and deadly security and preparedness failures in Benghazi, those trumped-up talking points, her crony aides' interference in State Department investigations. All will be useful someday.
Meanwhile, Republicans ought to focus on doing a good job where they are, on spiffing up their own house and backyard. So, next year and in 2016 voters are invited to make a proper comparison on actual achievements, not left to fall for the smears and false issues of attack ads.

BUDGET AND BUDGETARY CONTROL IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY.(A CASE STUDY OF ACCESS BANK PLC)
The worldwide use of budgets in one form or the other and its inherent problems is the focal point of my interest in this study.
It is one thing to plan a budget using the best projected figure; it is another thing to ensure that the process of establishing lie budget is both highly efficient and effective in accomplishing the set objective. This is simple terms in basically what budgetary control entails.
Therefore budgeting as a tool of planning and control expressed in financial terms based on predetermined objectives must represent what is likely to happen after a careful balance has been struck between the ambition of management and the constraints facing the business.

Summary of Findings
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Budgeting is fundamental to every project management. It is imperative because it is a means to ensure that desired organizations objectives are met. This is also accomplished by exercising control over scares resources. Strategically, for an organization to run effectively, there are four critical factors: organizations objectives of where it intends to go, plans or how it intends to accomplish such objectives, coordination or whether individual plans fit in the overall organization objectives and control or whether operation relating to that period. With this, budgeting and budgetary control are the devices that an organization makes use of for all these purposes.
Budgeting is an integral part of planning and coordinating, it is becoming increasingly important. While control is comparing where you are supposed to be so that corrective action can be taken when there is a deviation. When there is no plan, there is no control.
It is almost for an organization to exist and survive without some sort of budget. To be without one is like a ship without cores, cross along while being unaware of how far of the route it is or which rock it is likely to hit, only luck can save it from a catastrophic end and misadventure.
Individuals in their private affairs employ the use of budgets in their day to day activities. The practice of budgeting and its control is now established on a world-wide basis and it’s still growing rapidly. Almost every company in Nigeria, indeed in the world at large has its budgeting and budgetary department.
In general terms, a budget is a plan. It also forms the standard with which to measure the actual achievement of people, departments, firms and even governments.
A budget can be viewed as the plan of the dominant individuals in an organization expressed in monetary terms and subject to the constraint imposed by other participant and the environment indicating how the available resources may be utilized to achieve whatever the dominant individuals agree to be the organization’s priorities.
It is one thing to plan a budget using the best project figures; it is another thing to ensure that the process of establishing the budget is both highly efficient and effective; in accomplishing the set objectives. Thus, the simple term is basically what budgetary control entails.
All of this is necessitated by the economic concept of Scarcity. Though “scarcity” is a relative term, it is right to note that resources are scarce, consequently, they serve as constraints to management, in terms of materials, manpower, money and time. Resources must however be utilized in order to achieve an organization’s primary and secondary objectives, (that of profit maximization and survival, growth, market share etc.).However budgeting as a tool of planning and control expressed in financial terms, based on predetermined objectives must represent what is likely to happen after a careful balance has been stuck between the ambition of management and the constraints facing the business.
1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Access bank was incorporated as a private limited liability company on February 8th, 1989. The bank was converted to a public limited liability company on March 24th, 1998 and its shares were listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange on November 18th, 1998, the bank was issued a universal banking licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria on February 5th, 2001.
Effective November 18t, 2005, the Bank acquired two existing and functional banks of Nigeria, Capital bank International PIc and Marina International Bank Limited through share exchange considerable and continue trading as Access Bank PIc.
The bank established a foreign subsidiary known as Access bank (Gambia) Limited on June 27th, 2006 and fide subsidiary commenced operation on October 27th, 2006 on receipt of Central Bank, of (Gambia) Limited have not been consolidated because of the Director are of the opinion that it would be of no real value to the members; in view of insignificant amount involved. The subsidiary’s year end is December and it has only traded for two months up to December 31st, 2006.
In October, 2006, the Bank carried out a share reconstruction exercise to reduce the number of issued and paid ordinary share of the bank by 50%. The restricted shares were allotted to shareholders as fill in the ratio of 1 ordinary share for 2 ordinary share held. The new shares were revalued such that there was no loss of Values to shareholder as a result at the share reconstruction.
The principal activity of the Bank continues to be the provision of money market activities, retail banking granting of loans and advances, equipment leasing corporate finance and foreign exchange operation.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
In an organization, standards of performance need to be set to act as guidelines in order to reach successful the budget plan. It is imperative that each manager feel that the budget for his section is realistic, relevant and not imposed upon him.
However, in practice, this is not always the case. Timing of expenditure, feedback, problems and human factors in budgeting pose a threat which hinders the process of providing accurate and suitable measures of performance and the preparation of performance reports that highlight areas of concern which eventually lead to wastage.
Statement of problems is as follows:
1. There may be too much reliance on the technique as a substitute for good management.
2. The budgetary system, perhaps because of undue pressure or poor human relations may cause antagonism and decrease motivation.
3. Budgets are develop round existing organization structure and department, which may be inappropriate for ‘current conditions, and may not reflect’ the underlying economic realities.
4. Lack of good communication system may be an underling factor affecting budget performance.
1.4 PURPOSES OF STUDY
The aims and objectives of this study are to:
1. Study and examine the effectiveness of budgeting and how it is carried out at Access Bank PIc.
2. To examine the budgeting policy and budgetary techniques actually in place.
3. To highlight some of the problems inherent in the preparation and implementation of budgetary control encountered by Access Bank PIc.
4. To what extent is the objective of control measures being achieved?
5. Who are the principal actors involved in budgeting administration at Access Bank PIc?
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following research question will be answered during the course of this research project.
i.) What is the relationship between Budget and Budgetary control in the Banking Industry?
ii.) How Technology does affects budget performance and measurement?
iii.) How does human factors affect the preparation and implementation of budgets?
iv.) What are the problems encountered on preparation and implementation of budgeting in Access Bank?
1.6 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The following hypothesis will be tested:
Ho: Technology affects budget performance and measurement.
Hi: Technology does not affect budget performance and measurement.
Ho: Human Factors affect the preparation and implementation of budgets.
Hi: Human factors do not affect the preparation and implementation of budgets
1.7 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The worldwide use of budgets in one form or the other end its inherent problems is the focal point of my interest in this study.
A study of this nature is of immense benefit not only to the Nigeria government and the economy but also to all stakeholdersin the financial system. It is of great importance to the banking industry as it offers strategies for successful implementation of budgets and budgetary control.
The findings of this study will improve the effectiveness of Access Bank particularly and the banking industry in general and make it more important creative tool for management rather than merely a means of expressing objectives.
This study will be benefit to me as a student as it will serve as a reference tool on related subject area. The government and, the economy will also be beneficiaries as any improvements to the banking industry impacts greatly on the economy.
It is also to create a citation or reference to the major function of managing, coordinating, deployment and control over resources to realize the maximum objectives of the organization.
1.8 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY
This study is limited to Nigeria, hence its results may not be entirely regarded as universal, but Nigeria is a dynamic country representative of any 3rdworld nation. Limitation would also arise due to restriction on confidential information.
Extensive study of the general population or universe of the banking industry in respect to commercial banks is not feasible.
The scope of this study shall therefore be concentrated on Access
Bank PIc, Head office, Victoria Island; Lagos.

Delaware Gov. John Carney signed a bill into law Thursday that establishes a state-run retirement program for workers who don't have access to an employee-sponsored retirement plan.
The legislation, known as the Delaware EARNS (Expanding Access for Retirement and Necessary Savings) Act, requires businesses with more than five employees that don't offer a retirement plan to participate in the program.
"For small businesses and the almost 150,000 Delaware workers lacking an employer-sponsored saving program, the Delaware EARNS program will be financially transformative, allowing residents to save for the future while filling a critical need in the marketplace," said state Rep. Larry Lambert, who sponsored the legislation, in a news release on Thursday.
Mr. Lambert introduced the EARNS Act in the state Legislature in May 2021, and it passed the House in May of this year. The Delaware Senate passed the bill in June.
Qualified employees who do not opt out will be automatically enrolled in the program at a default contribution rate of no less than 3% and no more than 6%, according to the legislation. Employees should be able to participate in the retirement plan and begin making contributions by Jan 1, 2025.
The law also establishes a board of seven members to "oversee the design, implementation and initial administration of the program," though the board is set to disband by Dec. 31, 2025, and transfer its duties to a Plans Management Board.
"The pandemic has shown how vital it is for Americans to have savings to depend on," said AARP Delaware State Director Lucretia Young in a news release on Thursday. "We must make it easier for workers to save so they can take control of their future. AARP was pleased to work alongside our State Treasurer to help provide an easy pathway for workers to start building a safety net and grow the savings they need for a more secure future." | <urn:uuid:7c13485c-eb55-4ed3-87ce-54f520729b7e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.pionline.com/retirement-plans/delaware-passes-law-create-state-sponsored-retirement-program | 2023-11-29T04:30:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100056.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129041834-20231129071834-00086.warc.gz | en | 0.961167 | 381 |

Some are rodeo arenas that are used only for bull riding and other rodeo events.
Others are event centers that play host to many different sports. Common to all arenas is a large, open area that gives the bulls, bull riders, and bull fighters plenty of room to maneuver. The area is fenced, usually 6 to 7 feet high, to protect the audience from escaped bulls. There are generally exits on each corner of the arena for riders to get out of the way quickly. Riders can also hop onto the fence to avoid danger.

One end of the arena contains the bucking chutes from which the bulls are released. There is also an exit chute where the bulls can exit the arena. In the United States and Canada, most professional bull riders start out riding in high school rodeo or other junior associations. Bull riders compete in these organizations as they are climbing the ladder to the professional ranks and to supplement their income. In Mexico, there are a number of American-style bull riding organizations.
The latter of which is Mexico's top organization that includes all of American Rodeo's standard events, including bull riding. There are also a number of regional semi-pro associations. There are approximately rodeos and bushmen's carnivals held annually across Australia. At most of these events bull riding is one of the featured competitions.
Initially bullocks and steers were used for roughriding events and these were owned by local graziers that lent them for these events. Nowadays bulls are used for the open events and stock contractors supply the various roughriding associations. Contract stock has produced a more uniform range of bucking stock which is also quieter to handle. The competitions are run and scored in a similar style to that used in the United States. In May the National Rodeo Council of Australia NRCA was formed to promote and further the sport of rodeo and has represented the following associations, which also control bull riding:.
There are strict standards for the selection, care and treatment of rodeo livestock, arenas, plus equipment requirements and specifications. Chainsaw was one of Australia's most famous bucking bulls. Only nine contestants scored on him and he won the Australian national title of Bull of the Year a world record eight times during to Some of Australia's leading bull riders conduct bull riding clinics to assist learners and novice riders. Rodeo is also popular in country regions of New Zealand where approximately 32 rodeos, which include bull riding contests, are held each summer.
One source of controversy is the flank strap. The flank strap is placed around a bull's flank, just in front of the hind legs, to encourage bucking. Critics say that the flank strap encircles or otherwise binds the genitals of the bull. However, the flank strap is anatomically impossible to place over the testicles. Many point out that the bull's genes are valuable and that there is a strong economic incentive to keep the animal in good reproductive health. Further, particularly in the case of bulls, an animal that is sick and in pain usually will not want to move at all, will not buck as well, and may even lie down in the chute or ring rather than buck.
Critics also claim that electric cattle prods "hot shots" are used to injure and torture bulls, while supporters of bull riding claim that the cattle prod simply gets the bull out of the chute quickly and is only a moderate irritation due to the thickness of the animal's hide. However, in smaller associations, a cattle prod is still sometimes used to ensure that the animal leaves the chute as soon as the rider nods their head. Cattle prods are not allowed by any major association.
Spurs are also a source of controversy, though modern rodeo rules place strict regulations on the type and use of spurs and participants point out that they are a tool commonly used in other non-rodeo equestrian disciplines. Spurs used in bull riding do not have a fixed rowel, nor can they be sharpened. The PBR currently allows only two types of rowels to ensure the safety of the animals.

Retrieved October 2, Retrieved Bits and pieces, what we may call motifs, characters, topoi, plots, and images, were carried on and retold during the rise of early European civilization in Latin and vernacular languages and in many cases written down mainly by male scribes, many of them religious. Gradually, as tales were used to serve speciic func- tions in court entertainment, homes, and taverns, on public squares, ields, and work places, and during rituals such as birth, marriage, death, harvest, initiation, and so on, they were distinguished by the minds of the members of a community and given special attention.
Engendered as cultural artifacts they formed generic traits that made them appropri- ate for certain occasions. The cultural requirements were never so strict to prevent the tales from mixing with one another, becoming mixed, or borrowing from one another. There was never a pure oral wonder tale, myth, legend, or fable.
But as humans became more discerning and their brains developed the cognitive capacity to recognize, reine, and retain speciic narratives that spoke to the conditions in their environ- ment about survival, they began to group, categorize, and shape diverse stories artistically to make better and more eficient use of them. All of this occurred long before print culture came to dominate artistic pro- duction in Europe. Numerous scholars have set their studies of oral and literary tales in a sociohistorical context to arrive at deinitions, categories, and types of the fairy tale.
The focal points of these studies and their conclusions vary a great deal, and some even contradict one another; yet, they all historicize the conception of the fairy tale as a literary genre. Though it might be more prudent to use the term public representation to talk about the classical fairy tales, I shall continue to use the term meme in the broadest possible sense to denote a particular fairy tale that has been canonized in the Western world and become so memorable that it appears to be transmitted natu- rally by our minds to communicate information that alerts us to pay attention to a speciic given situation on which our lives may depend.
As we shall see, the symbolic order established by literary fairy tales is not static, but it is certainly marked continually by recognizable recurring motifs, topoi, and conventions and has been framed by male hegemonic concerns.

Within the borders of the oral and written frame there is a dialogue concerning gender-oriented ritu- als, social initiations, or the appropriate manner of behavior in speciic situations. It communicates information. It selects that which has become relevant in a commu- nity to inform members of that community what has become crucial for adaptation to the environment in the most effective manner possible that might be entertaining and instructive.
The fairy tale acts through language to depict all kinds of issues and debates that concern socialization and civilization. Once a fairy tale has gelled or been artistically conceived so that it is ostentative, it seeks to perpetuate itself indiscriminately. Like the selish gene, a fairy tale as meme is concerned with its own per- petuation and will adapt to changes and conlicts in the environment. Conditioned by fairy tales, we insist that the fairy tale act out these conlicts through conventionalized language and codes that stimulate a play with ideas.
We act as though fairy tales have always been with us. But this is not the case. There was a point in time when literary fairy tales were not expected and used in the manner that we expect and use them. These we may call speech genres. Bakhtin makes a distinction between primary simple and secondary speech genres complex.
During the process of their formation, they absorb and digest various primary simple genres that have taken form in unmediated speech communion. These pri- mary genres are altered and assume a special character when they enter into complex ones. Yet, this is the value of a secondary genre like the literary fairy tale: it preserves elements of the primary speech genre and enters into a dialogue with it as it transforms itself into something new and more complex.
As Bakhtin states: [T]his question of the concept of the speech addressee how the speaker or writer senses and imagines him is of immense signiicance in literary history. Each epoch, each literary trend and literary-artistic style, each literary genre within an epoch or trend, is typiied by its own special concepts of the addressee of the literary work, a special sense and under- standing of its reader, listener, public, or people. A historical study of changes in these concepts would be an interesting and important task.
But in order to develop it productively, the statement of the problem itself would have to be theoretically clear. Each of these authors used a frame tale in which storytellers shared their tales with listeners, who were also tellers, and all their tales were intended for a community of readers and tellers. In addressing a particu- lar speech community, writers seek to use, explore, and validate their own speech acts as they assume a conceptual and aesthetic whole.
Therefore, we must ask, if we want to understand the beginnings of this literary genre, what constituted the fairy tale as a secondary speech genre? What must our focus be if we are to understand the historical origins and development of the literary fairy tale?
Such genres exist above all in the great and multifari- ous sphere of everyday oral communication, including the most familiar and most intimate. As a pri- mary genre, the oral folk tale circulated hundreds, if not thousands, of years before it came to be registered in script and was formed and shaped according to semantic and syntagic rules and audience expectations. When authors began writing the tales, however, the narratives did not become fully generic and memetic as a literary genre because a liter- ary genre is also an institution.
To be fully developed a genre has to be instituted in a society; that is, it must be accepted and used by different groups as a speciic mode of entertainment, communication, and social- ization. It must also have effective modes of publicity, dissemination, and reception that will enable the genre to take root in society. Tzvetan Todorov Like Bakhtin, Todorov believes that a genre begins as a speech act and undergoes various transformations before becoming institutional- ized.
A new genre is always the transformation of one or many older genres: by inversion, by deplacement, by combination. There has never been a literature without genres. It is a system in the process of continual transformation, and the question of the ori- gins can never leave historically the terrain of the genres themselves. He maintains that a discourse is made up of enunciated sentences or enunciated words, and like Bakhtin, he argues that its meaning depends on the context of enunciation. In other words, a discourse is always by necessity a speech act un acte de parole constituting a text.
If one designates genres as classes of texts, this designation occurs in a meta- discourse about genres in history that has, as its aim, the establishment of properties, traits, and laws of the text.

In other words, genres are nothing but the codiication of discursive properties. These properties reveal the semantic aspect of the text meaning , the syntactic aspect of the text relation of the parts to one another , the pragmatic aspect of the text the relation among users , and the verbal aspect all that concerns the materiality of the signs. It is through their institutionalization that the genres communicate with the society in which they are currently developing.
Just like any other institution the genres give testimony about the constitutive traits of the society to which they belong. This is why the existence of certain genres in a society, their absence in another, reveals a great deal about this ideology and permits us to establish it with more or less great certainty.
However, there was no dis- tinct and distinguishable genre in literature called the fairy tale until the seventeenth century, irst in Italy and more importantly in France, because there was no textual community to cultivate and institutionalize it and because the vernacular languages had not yet fully developed into literary languages. Without the appropriate conditions of reception and transmission in large groups of textual or literate communities, the fairy tale could not have established itself as a genre.
Within these communi- ties, the oral performance, recitation, and communication continued to play a major role. According to Brian Stock, a textual community is a microsociety orga- nized around the common understanding of a script. As he explains: [T]he rise of a more literate society in the eleventh century automati- cally increased the number of authors, readers, and copiers of texts everywhere in Europe, and, as a consequence, the number of persons engaged in the study of texts for the purpose of changing the behav- ior of the individual or group.
This, in nuce, was the rationale behind much reformist and some orthodox religious agitation, to say nothing of communal associations and guilds. These textual communities were not entirely composed of literates. The minimal requirement was just one literate, the interpres, who understood a set of texts and was able to pass his message verbally to others. The manner in which the individuals behaved toward each other and the manner in which the group looked upon those it considered to be outsiders were derived from the attitudes formed during the period of initiation and education.
The unlettered and semilettered members thereby conceptualized a link between textuality, as the script for enactment of behavioral norms, and rationality, as the alleged rea- sonableness of those norms. It is with the rise of textual communities, court entertainment, schools, reading societies, academies, literary associations and institu- tions, and salons and the interaction with oral traditions of storytelling that the formation of the fairy tale as genre took place.
And this forma- tion made the tale linguistically malleable, accessible, and purposeful as a memetic linguistic formation that carried relevant information about the survival of the species, in particular, the survival of individuals, and representatives of different social classes who are bent on improv- ing their status and condition in society. The form and information constitute its psychological appeal and explain why the brain gradually recognized basic fairy tale types through a cognitive module. As memes cultural replicators or public representations particular fairy tales were endowed with and recognized as having great value in communities and societies.
Their memetic value resides in their potential to assist human beings to become more alert to particular signs, to improve their situa- tions, and to adapt more successfully in a changing environment. Moreover, they will only be effective if they can mutate and blend in altered and adapted forms that respond to environmental transformations. Selection favours memes that exploit their cultural environment to their own advan- tage.
This cultural environment consists of other memes which are also being selected. The meme pool therefore comes to have attributes of an evolutionarily stable set, which new memes ind it hard to invade. This leads to a troubling problem. Again, to quote Dawkins: However speculative my development of the theory of memes may be, there is one serious point which I would like to emphasize once again. This is that when we look at the evolution of cultural traits and at their survival value, we must be clear whose survival we are talking about.
Biologists, as we have seen, are accustomed to looking for advantages at the gene level or the individual group, or the species level according to taste. What we have not previously considered is that a cultural trait may have evolved in the way that it has, simply because it is advanta- geous to itself. Fairy tales provide us with hope that some relevant transformation is possible. Jean-Michel Adam and Ute Heidmann One way we do our choosing, despite the selishness of genes and memes, is through cooperation. Put another way, even a gene recog- nizes the importance of cooperation for its own sake.
A gene cannot reproduce itself and proliferate without the assistance of other genes. Neither can a meme, and the fairy tale cannot be understood as genre if we do not take into account the manner in which it interacts with and depends on other genres. As soon as there is a text—that is, the recognition of the fact that a series of enunciations form a complete communication—there is an effect of generictity, that is, an inscription of this series of enunciations into a particular practice of discourse.
The genericity is a socio-cognitive necessity that relates each text to the inter-discourse of a social formation. A text does not in itself belong to a genre, but it is placed in relation to one or many genres at the point of production as well as at the point of reception-interpretation. It is best deined by its relationship to other genres as it keeps mutating. Each text develops its own dynamic by activating centrifugal and cen- tripetal forces, a dynamic that is important to analyze in itself before comparing it to another text that has its own dynamic. Through a com- parative and textual discourse analysis, we mean the comparison of the respective dynamic of the textual and trans-textual forces of two or more texts.
This type of comparison differs from the use of comparison in the studies of folklore and literature in that it does not approach the texts through their static characteristics the occurrence of motifs, genetic traits, intertextual traces, etc. If we draw and build upon their ideas, we can see that to analyze a literary fairy tale and the genre of the fairy tale entails: 1 determining the text and its place in a sociocognitive discursive formation; 2 comparing it with other fairy-tales texts of its period; 3 comparing it with texts of other generic formations; 4 understanding the linguistic elements that constitute its proper forces and constitute its dynamic force within the genre of the fairy tale; 5 analyzing its transformation beyond its original publication, that is, to study its reception in different sociohistorical con- texts as well as new texts that are produced and interrogate the original text; 6 recognizing the mediation of oral and literary tales that interact with one another to bring about mutations.
In general, the approach of Adam and Heidmann is an explicit critique of how folklorists have tended to approach literature or tales that have become literary: According to our discursive concept of text, the meaning of written tales is generated by this complex interaction of textual forces such as thematic-semantic coniguration, textual composition and micro- linguistic texture, with text-transcending forces such as genericity, inter- texutality, paratextuality and cotextuality. Folklore studies put the main focus on the examination of motifs and themes, i.
We argue that the complex meaning of a written tale is produced by the speciic linguistic, textual and discursive articulation of the chosen motifs and themes, while folklore studies often assume that the meaning of a tale is simply inherent in a universal grammar of motifs and symbols. Certain fairy-tale texts have become formative and deinitive, and they insert themselves into our cognitive processes, enabling us to establish and distinguish patterns of behavior and to relect upon ethics, gender, morality, and power. As the fairy-tale genre formed itself and was formed by myriad tellers and writers, they and their publishers, listeners, readers brought their tales in relation to other fairy tales and genres, and they made some of them special, or took a special interest in tales that we have made canonical.
They copied them and changed them, and as they took hold of these tales, the tales took hold of them. The tales have evolved in response to changes in the environment, its own linguistic properties and potential, and the particular social institutions of diverse cultural groups through- out the world. To a certain extent, it is impossible nowadays to speak about the fairy tale, especially a canonical tale, narrowly as a printed text, for it has transcended both the oral and literary in iconic forma- tions that depend on the technology of the radio, cinema, advertising, Internet, and so on.
Canonical fairy tales are complex memes that are a result of the conlicting forces of cultural production. They are special and relevant because we cultivate them as special and relevant in our speech and in our writings and images. Very few folklorists and critics have examined fairy tales from an evolutionary psychological perspective, despite the fact that fairy tales deal opulently with evolution of the human species under particular cultural conditions that often engender crises.
All of these situations incite similar questions: What must an individual do to adapt to a new and unexpected situation? Does a person become heroic through a special kind of adaptation? How will the heroine or hero survive? What does a person have to do to maintain power so that she or he can survive? How must one protect oneself in a dog-eat-dog world? Are there alternative ways of living and reproducing the species that do not involve the transgression of other bodies?
In some respects I believe that we have been attracted to fairy tales because they are survival stories with hope. They alert us to dangerous situations, instruct us, guide us, give us counsel, and reveal what might happen if we take advantage of helpful instruments or agents, or what might happen if we do not. They communicate the need to be oppor- tunistic, to exploit opportunities, to be selish so we can survive. They have arisen out of a need to adapt to unusual situations, and many of these situations are similar the world over so that many of the same types of tales have arisen and been disseminated and transformed so that new generations will learn to adjust to similar situations in chang- ing environments.
All tales want to stay alive in us, and they compete for our attention. We choose a particular metaphorical tale to be more precise and effective in what we want to express. Yet, each tale in its mutated form must articulate why it is still necessary and relevant in a changed environment and whether its impact is positive or negative. It is a tale about predators and how to deal with them. In my book The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Riding Hood, I demonstrated that the origin of the literary fairy tale can be traced to male fantasies about women and sexuality and to conlicting versions with regard to the responsibility for the violation in the tale.
In particular, I showed how Charles Perrault and the Grimm Broth- ers transformed an oral folk tale about the social initiation of a young woman into a narrative about rape in which the heroine is obliged to bear the responsibility for sexual violation. Such a radical literary transformation is highly signiicant because the male-cultivated liter- ary versions became dominant in both the oral and literary traditions of nations such as Germany, France, Great Britain, and the United States, nations that exercise cultural hegemony in the West.
Indeed, the Per- rault and Grimm versions became so crucial in the socialization process of these countries that they generated a literary discourse about sexual roles and behavior, a discourse whose fascinating antagonistic perspec- tives shed light on different phases of social and cultural change. In discussing this development, however, I did not examine how it might be a linguistic and memetic form related to evolutionary theories about instincts, adaptation, and survival. Therefore, I should like once more to summarize my arguments about the sociopsychological implications of the changes made by Perrault and the Grimm Brothers and conclude by considering how the tale has evolved up to the present and why it is still so popular.
None of these motifs, it must be borne in mind, are particular to the times of Perrault and the Grimms, or to our very own times of rabid violence and violation. The tally of Red Riding Hood tales is quite impressive. Thanks to his exhaustive study of tales and motifs in the ancient world, however, we now have a much more comprehensive grasp of the memetic and epi- demiological formation of canonical fairy tales. If we accept the latter premise, then we can accept the hypothesis of widespread diffusion of folktale, with deviant and misrecollected ver- sions by forgetful or inaccurate storytellers easily corrected by those with better memories.
What we should guard against is the idea that tales will be reinvented in more or less identical form by different societies as they proceed through progressive stages of civilization, a fantasy of nine- teenth-century proto-anthropology, or that because a large number of popular tales use a inite number of motifs, then oral storytellers simply shufle the motifs around to make new tales.
There are indeed instances where two convergent tales can become confused, or where one tale seems to borrow from another, but on the whole[,] hybrids, common as they are, still remain marginal in the process of diffusion of tales. The more examples of any given international tale-type we study, the more clearly we can see the integrity and logic of the tale.
They gradually had to be congealed in a stable form to become canonical, so to speak, and though one cannot precisely detect each step in the formation of a classical literary tale, the more information we gather about the spread of the motifs the more light we will shed on why and how a tale becomes memetic. In it he incorporated many Latin translations of vernacular prov- erbs. Because many of the proverbs originated among the uneducated countryfolk, Sigebert of Gembloux ca. A certain man took up a girl from the sacred font, and gave her a tunic woven of red wool; sacred Pentecost was [the day] of her baptism.
The girl, now ive years old, goes out at sunrise, footloose and heedless of her peril. A wolf attacked her, went to its woodland lair, took her as booty to its cubs, and left her to be eaten. They approached her at once and, since they were unable to harm her, began, free from all their ferocity, to caress her head. If Egbert imposed Christian features in this fashion, then the redness in the story told by the common people could have had a general apotropaic signiicance that the Latin poet particularized with a religious dimension when he appropriated it.
When a tale evolves through the discursive appropriation of oral and literary transmission, this germ remains and is at the heart of its memetic appeal. It is the constant interaction between what Bakhtin called primary and secondary speech genres that constituted the epidemiological dissemination of this canonical fairy tale and all the other canonical narratives. The little girl arrived and knocked at the door. Take some of the meat which is inside and the bottle of wine on the shelf. Let me go outside. When the little girl was outside, she tied the end of the rope to a plum tree in the courtyard.
Are you making a load? He followed her but arrived at her house just at the moment she entered. She is shrewd, brave, tough, and indepen- dent. Evidence indicates she was probably undergoing a social ritual connected to sewing communities the maturing young woman proves she can handle needles, replace an older woman, and contend with the opposite sex. In some of the tales, however, she loses the contest with the male predator and is devoured by him.
There is no absolute proof that the above synthetic tale pieced together by the astute French folklorist Paul Delarue was told in the exact same form in which he published it. Perrault revised some kind of oral tale that featured a young girl endangered by a predatory wolf to make it the literary standard-bearer for good Christian upbringing in a much more sophisticated manner than Egbert or oral storytellers. Moreover, his fear of women and his own sexual drives are incorporated in his new literary version, which also relects general male attitudes about women portrayed as eager to be seduced or raped.
In this regard, Perrault began a series of literary transformations that have caused nothing but trouble for the female object of male desire and have also relected the crippling aspect of male desire itself. What are the signiicant changes he made? First, she is donned with a red hat, a chaperon,56 making her into a type of bourgeois girl tainted with sin since red, like the scarlet letter A, recalls the devil and heresy.
Second, she is spoiled, negligent, and naive. Third, she speaks to a wolf in the woods—rather dumb on her part—and makes a type of contract with him: she accepts a wager, which, it is implied, she wants to lose. Fifth, she is swallowed or raped like her grandmother. Sixth, there is no salvation, simply an ironic moral in verse that warns little girls to beware of strangers, otherwise they will deservedly suffer the conse- quences.
Sex is obviously sinful. It was translated into English by Robert Samber in and into other European languages. The Grimms made further alterations worth noting. Here the mother plays a more signiicant role by warning Little Red Riding Hood not to stray from the path through the woods. Little Red Riding Hood is more or less incited by the wolf to enjoy nature and to pick lowers.
Instead of being raped to death, both grandma and granddaughter are saved by a male hunter or gamekeeper who polices the woods. Only a strong male igure can rescue a girl from herself and her lustful desires. What constituted its memetic quality? If memes are selish, as Dawkins has declared, the persistence of a story that presents rape relevantly in a discursive form to indicate the girl asked to be raped, or contributed to her own rape, can be attrib- uted to the struggle among competing memes within patriarchal soci- eties that tend to view rape from a male viewpoint that rationalizes the aggressive male sexual behavior.
Yet, it is not entirely negative as a meme, and it is a meme that has mutated, especially in the past thirty-ive years, under strong ideo- logical inluences of the feminist movement. Perrault did not dispute the fact that men tend to be predatory, but he shifted the respon- sibility of physical violence and the violation of the body to the female, and since his communication it the dominant ideology of his times shared by many women and perhaps ours , his story competed with all others and became the dominant meme and remains so to this day.
As dominant meme, it does not simply convey the notion that women are responsible for their own rape, but it also conveys a warning about strangers in the woods, the danger of violation, and an extreme moral lesson: kill the rapist or be killed. Used or transformed as a warning tale, it reveals that the tale is open to multiple interpretations and also has a positive cultural function. Certainly, it is very dificult to change sexual behavior. At times, Pinker minimizes the connection between sexual drives, social reinforcements, and social power that still enable males to exercise their domination in various ways, but he also fortunately recognizes the sig- niicance of the feminist challenge to the way rape is displayed, trans- mitted, and narrated in Western society.
If we have to acknowledge that sexuality can be a source of conlict and not just wholesome mutual pleasure, we will have rediscovered a truth that observers of the human condition have noted throughout history. The great contribution of feminism to the morality of rape is to put issues of consent and coercion at center stage. The ultimate motives of the rapist are irrelevant.
I want to close with some brief remarks about a remarkable ilm that relects upon the possibility for cultural transformation or change. She is picked up on a highway by a serial rapist and killer, and because she is so street smart, she manages to turn the tables on him, grab his gun, and shoot him. She then takes his car but is arrested because the rapist miraculously survives.
Two detectives interrogate her, but largely due to their male prejudices, they do not believe her story about attempted rape. In prison Vanessa succeeds in escaping while the two detectives follow leads from people they interview that convince them that the rapist was really lying.
When she arrives, she bravely beats him to a pulp, and the astonished detectives, who had wanted to help her, show up only to witness how Vanessa can easily take care of herself. The contested representations suggest that there is another way of viewing desire, seduction, and violation. If there are really such things as memes— and I am convinced there are—and if memes can inluence us and be changed as our behavior is transformed, it is important that we take the theory of memes and fairy tales themselves more seriously.
As we know, tales do not only speak to us, they inhabit us and become relevant in our struggles to resolve conlicts that endanger our happiness. Although there is some truth to these assumptions, they conceal the deep cross-cultural and multilayered origins and meanings of these pan-European tales that also have fasci- nating connections to northern Africa and the Orient, including the Middle and Far East.
Of course there can be no denying that the tales are culturally marked: they are informed by the languages that the writ- ers employed, their respective cultures, and the sociohistorical context in which the narratives were created. In this regard one can discuss the particular Italian, French, German, or English afiliation of a tale and also make regional distinctions within a particular principality or nation-state.
The truth value of a fairy tale is depen- dent on the degree to which a writer is capable of using a symbolical linguistic code, narrative strategy, and stereotypical characterization to depict, expose, or celebrate the modes of behavior that were used and justiied to attain power in the civilizing process of a given soci- ety. Whether oral or literary, the tales have sought to uncover truths about the pleasures and pains of existence, to propose possibilities for adaptation and survival, and to reveal the intricacies of our civilizing processes.
Historical Background For the past three hundred years or more scholars and critics have sought to deine and classify the oral folk tale and the literary fairy tale, as though they could be clearly distinguished from each other, and as though we could trace their origins to some primeval source. As I have stated in the previous chapter, this is an impossible task because there are very few if any records with the exception of paintings, drawings, etchings, inscriptions, parchments, and other cultural artifacts that reveal how tales were told and received thousands of years ago.
In fact, even when written records came into existence, they provided very lit- tle information about storytelling among the majority of people, except for random information that educated writers gathered and presented in their works. Naturally, the oral folk tales that were told in many different ways thousands of years ago preceded the literary narratives, but we are not certain who told the tales, why, and how. We do know, however, that scribes began writing different kinds of tales that relected an occupation with rituals, historical anecdotes, customs, startling events, miraculous transformations, and religious beliefs.
The recording of these various tales was extremely important because the writers preserved an oral tra- dition for future generations, and in the act of recording, they changed the tales to a greater or lesser degree, depending on what their purpose was in recording them.
Raising a Cowgirl
There is no evidence that a separate oral won- der-tale tradition or literary fairy-tale tradition existed in Europe before the medieval period. Graham Anderson has performed a great service for folklorists and serious scholars of the fairy tale by demonstrating how Greek and Roman myths contributed to the generic development of the literary fairy tale by studying oral and literary sources in the pre- Christian ancient world. It does not seem that folktales, including fairy tales, are memorized in verbal detail but according as they deal with matters of concern to the community, and in terms of stereotyped characters and narrative patterns.
The pattern has its own internal logic which does not necessarily depend on material probability or a plot with strict cause and effect, as does the novel, at least in theory. The general pattern must satisfy the common desire for a marvel and a satisfactory outcome. How this occurred, where it occurred, and exactly when it occurred are dificult questions to answer with precision because the tales developed as a process largely through talk, conversations, and performances that caught the imagination of people from different social milieu and were gradually written down irst in Latin and then eventu- ally in different vernacular languages, when they became more accept- able in the late Middle Ages.
As more and more wonder tales were written down in Latin and vernacular languages from the twelfth to the ifteenth centuries, they constituted the genre of the literary fairy tale, and writers began establishing its particular conventions, motifs, topoi, characters, and plots, based to a large extent on those developed in the oral tradition but altered to address a reading public formed largely by the clergy, aristocracy, and the middle classes. The tales that were told cut across different classes and segments of a particular society—rural, urban, and court. The threatening aspect of wondrous change, turning the world upside down, was something that these classes always tried to channel through codiied celebrations like Carnival and religious holidays.
This must mean that the Cocaigne mate- rial belongs to the oldest of oral traditions, otherwise it would not have been written down as soon as man started wielding the pen. Their ingredients—consisting of formulaic elements, individual motifs, and stock themes—are part of a widespread oral culture that has continued to the present day. In addition, details of this oral tradition continue to crop up in written literature, which then forms its own traditions, some- times—but not necessarily—interacting with the oral transmission of these same stories. The establishment of literacy was, among other things, a way to police the use of language through schooling, religion, and legislation of laws.
prisma2.prod.leadereq.ai/5749-contactos-mujeres-en.php It is extremely dificult to describe what the oral wonder tale was because our evidence is based on written documents, and there are many types of wonder tales with diverse plots and characters, bound intricately with customs and rituals, that are often inexplicable.
Gen- eral theories about the origin and spread of the folk tales leading to the formation of the literary fairy tale were irst conceived at the beginning of the nineteenth century and have been elaborated and contested up through the twenty-irst century. The Brothers Grimm believed that fairy tales were derived from myths that had been religious at one time, but storytellers had gradually discarded their religious connotations, and the tales became secular wonder tales. | <urn:uuid:49ec4ed8-2d08-4a9d-b546-ecb5ad0ad1f3> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://vavogorafe.tk/raising-a-cowgirl-taming-team-ten.php | 2020-04-10T05:47:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371886991.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200410043735-20200410074235-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.960109 | 10,244 |

Doctor of Chinese Medicine
Dr. Danielle Baert is a Registered Acupuncturist with the College and Association of Acupuncturists of Alberta (CAAA) and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMD). Prior to studying acupuncture at the Calgary College of TCM and Acupuncture (CCTCMA), she spent five years apprenticing with well-known fourth generation TCM herbalist Dr. Lin Liu in Winnipeg. She was also mentored by respected acupuncturist Dr. Zhaocheng Han, and recently she has been learning scalp acupuncture from the venerable master Dr. Mingqing Zhu. She also has a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Manitoba and worked for many years as a professional engineer.
Dr. Baert treats a broad range of symptoms and conditions using a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, fire cupping, and moxibustion. She is a skilled Chinese herbalist and has a pharmacy of over 200 unique ingredients, administered in powdered form for quick and easy preparation.
Dr. Baert specializes in treating both acute and chronic pain, caused by anything and everything. “I often treat people who have had severe chronic back or neck pain for 20 years, but I also treat people who are doubled over from acute lower back pain. I have patients that walk in with a migraine and walk out pain-free. Same with menstrual cramps. So the cause of the pain doesn’t matter and the relief is not just temporary. It’s a common misconception that the pain relief from acupuncture is short-lived. I am always working on the root of why you have pain and the effect of treatment accumulates so that the result becomes long-lasting.”
In addition to treating pain, Dr. Baert also treats all kinds of digestive, gynecological and urinary issues, as well as mood problems like anxiety, depression or just being stressed out. She also treats insomnia, fatigue and body temperature issues like night sweats, hot flashes, or just being too cold or too hot all the time.
Lifestyle guidance is also a part of every treatment. Dr. Baert says, “Most people are doing something that is aggravating their symptoms that they are not aware of, like drinking a cold smoothie for breakfast every morning even though they’re always cold. Figuring this out is often the key to solving the puzzle and reducing the amount of treatment you’ll need in order to fully recover.”
If you’re curious about acupuncture and Chinese medicine and you would like to learn more about how it can help you, call 403-234-0040 and book in for a free 15 minute consultation with Dr. Baert. | <urn:uuid:bf054c41-8ef4-4ef4-9d53-8d7360eddbf4> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://backneckrehab.com/doctors/dr-danielle-baert.html | 2018-06-21T02:33:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864019.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621020632-20180621040632-00415.warc.gz | en | 0.957312 | 561 |

Can South Africa's ruling party survive the loss of its global icon?(Read article summary)
The African National Congress has ruled South Africa since the end of apartheid. But riddled by corruption charges and internal feuding, it looks increasingly vulnerable.
•A version of this post first appeared on the blog Africa in Transition. The views expressed are the author's own.
South African politics recently appears to be entering a period of flux. The opportunity for change is signaled by national icon Nelson Mandela’s serious illness. The media is regularly reporting that he is now on life support and South Africans seem to be reconciling themselves to his death.
Increasingly in recent years, he has been an important touchstone for the legitimacy of the governing African National Congress (ANC), especially as scandals involving party leaders have multiplied.
Indeed, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, second only to Mandela as an icon of the anti-apartheid movement, compared the ANC to the old National Party that imposed apartheid because the government of President Jacob Zuma was unwilling to issue a visa to the Dalai Lama, likely for fear of offending the Chinese.
Meanwhile, the media reports ANC scandals on an almost daily basis. The archbishop has said specifically that he will not vote for the ANC in the next elections. Furthermore, the Mandela family is feuding publicly even as their patriarch lies ailing, creating such a spectacle that the archbishop has publicly pleaded with them to stop airing their dirty laundry in public.
But, there are also signs of new growth. Cyril Ramaphosa, one of the architects of the 1993-94 transition to non-racial democracy, was widely thought to be hand-picked to be Mandela’s successor as ANC leader and president of the republic. When Thabo Mbeki became the party’s choice instead, Mr. Ramaphosa removed himself from politics and went into business.
He was highly successful and appears to have the confidence of both the domestic and international business communities. Often described as both “brilliant” and “highly competent,” he is now deputy president of the party. That makes him well placed to be Mr. Zuma’s successor. One possibility is that before the next national elections in 2014, Zuma could step down as president but stay on as party leader. Ramaphosa would then be in a strong position to be the ANC’s presidential candidate. Many speculate that an ANC government under Ramaphosa would be very different from the current Zuma government.
The formal opposition, the Democratic Alliance (DA), dominates a single province, the Western Cape – where Cape Town is located. The provincial premier, Helen Zille, Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille, and the party leadership generally are seeking to expand the party’s electoral base beyond its traditionally white and coloured (or mixed race) constituencies.
Its parliamentary leader is a young black woman, Lindiwe Mazibuko. They are particularly looking to make electoral inroads among the black middle class. They emphasize improved service delivery, clean government, and “constitutionalism.” The DA is looking to increase its total share of the parliamentary vote and, just possibly, to capture the Johannesburg city government and that of Gauteng province where the city is located, which is the heart of South Africa's economy.
What's more, an altogether new party has also been organized by anti-apartheid icon Mamphela Ramphele. A medical doctor, she was one of the founders of the Black Consciousness movement and is the mother of liberation martyr Steve Biko’s children. Subsequently she was the first black vice chancellor (equivalent of president) of the University of Cape Town, and later a World Bank official and a businesswoman.
Her newly formed party, Agang SA, will focus on four areas where many South Africans believe the ANC has failed: the economy, education, health, and security. The DA shares many of her views, and she has been chided by some for not joining forces with them so as not to split the anti-ANC vote. But as veteran journalist Allister Sparks observes, under proportional representation, the percentage of votes that a party receives determines the number of seats it has in parliament. If both the DA and Agang SA do well and cooperate (as they are likely to), the ANC’s dominance in parliament could be eroded in this election and possibly end in the next – scheduled for 2019. The ANC, however, will almost certainly continue to provide the executive.
Finally, Julius Malema, the former ANC Youth League bad boy, is talking about launching a radical, black political party. However, he faces fraud charges and may go to jail. Even if he does not, it is questionable whether he has the finances or organizational skills to launch a viable political party. | <urn:uuid:aea9b202-e59d-4b08-a25f-e7e48b99fec3> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://m.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/Africa-Monitor/2013/0710/Can-South-Africa-s-ruling-party-survive-the-loss-of-its-global-icon | 2017-12-17T13:11:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948595858.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20171217113308-20171217135308-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.97065 | 995 |
Msg#: 3271225 posted 6:05 am on Mar 5, 2007 (gmt 0)
I just started having a problem in XP where I have to click on everything multiple times to get a response. I thought at first something was bogging down my system and it was just slow to react to my clicks, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Almost always (but not 100% of the time), the first time I click on something, the system doesn't notice it, no matter how long I wait. Even just clicking in a different part of this text box as I type my post requires multiple clicks to get the cursor to move. Links, closing a window, launching something from the quick launch bar - pretty much everything now requires two or more clicks, sometimes even four or five. This just started happening yesterday on a Dell XPS 400 that I've had for about a year. I didn't install any new software or do anything I can think of that would have caused this. I tried restoring to a restore point from a few days ago, but that hasn't helped. I'm having a difficult time searching for help on this problem so I thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has run into this. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies. Bill, I think it must have been a memory/CPU hog because the problem seems to have gone away.

Orkney and the Fair Isle
I had been working for NHS Orkney since July 2006 on a temporary contract and staying in rented accommodation, so it made sense that when we brought Red Ruth to Kirkwall I should live aboard. Orkney offers some wonderful sailing opportunities with challenging tides up to 16kts in the Pentland Firth on the maximum spring tides. It can also offer some challenging weather. So the prospects looked good.
Our first long trip was a return passage from Kirkwall to Cromarty, about 100nms each way. Lorraine came up for a holiday and to make the return on Red Ruth, I suspect that came to regret the decision!
We set off in late July in mist and with a persistent SE wind which rarely dropped below 20kts and short steep chop. Once out of the String, for some reason I started to be seasick which persisted for the next 10 hours during which Lorraine had to master the helm.
By Tarbet Ness lighthouse she was so tired I had to take over and brought Red Ruth into Cromarty at 0200 hours. Its surprising how difficult it is to find and pick up a swing mooring in the dark! The return trip was flat calm and uneventful.
Our next significant trip was in September when Allan decided to accompany us from Kirkwall to Lerwick. Unfortunately the weather in that part of the world often intervenes, and with winds predicted to be 50kts off Sumburgh head we changed plans to go as far as Fair Isles.
So the first day was Kirkwall to Pierowall (we knew from past experience that the Pierowall Hotel has the best fish and chips in the UK, bar none), about 40nms. We departed Kirkwall on the ebb tide in mist and light winds. Passing Shapinsay John and Sandra Rodwell waved at us with a white sheet, but we were unable to see them with the mist.
As we passed Eday to starboard the wind started to pick up from the SE and by the time we entered the sound of Faray we were at full speed with no reef, heading rapidly to Pierowall along the north coast of Westray.
Once in Pierowall we tied up on the pontoon, and not long after Catherine J was also tied up. Catherine J is an Elan 434, chartered on this occasion by the Phat Buoys, a group of 8 men.
We got into discussion with about plans and found we were all heading for Fair Isle, and of course 2 boats heading in the same direction is a race!
However, we decided to catch the tide at about 0600, but the Phat Buoys felt this was too early.
Dinner at the Pierowall Hotel was as good as expected.
As we left the harbour at 0630 the next morning we looked back and to our surprise we saw Catherine J departing about 20 minutes behind us, the race was on.
Our course was to take us around the south point of the island and with a stiff SE wind it became quite choppy as we went through the roost, whilst Lorraine was anxious we were too close to the rocks. As we came round and approached the narrow entrance to North Haven we saw Catherine J round the north point of the island, a good 30 minutes behind us. I wouldn’t want to try to access North Haven in a NE wind but once in its well protected, although a little worrying is the ramp for hauling out the local ferry (the Good Shepherd) in foul weather.
No such problems for us as we tied up along side the new harbour wall, soon after Catherine J tied up in front of us. Once they had settled down it appeared that a number of the crew had been seasick and they had almost been knocked down twice. Proving again that whilst the Rustler may not be the fastest it certainly handles heavy weather far better and gets there sooner.
Lorraine and Allan decided to look for Fair Isle sweaters to no avail, whilst I looked at the bird observatory. This has now been replaced with a new building and provides facilities for visiting boats and crew. The next day catching the tide we headed south past both the old and new lighthouses on North Ronaldsay heading into the Sound of Eday. A small finch like bird hitch-hiked a lift with us and after a number of attempts eventually made landfall. As we passed through the Sound the tide changed against us. We stood still for a few minutes even with the engine at full revs. Finally overcoming the tide we motored towards Whitehall on Stronsay. Radioing ahead to the harbour master brought no response. However as we passed the local vehicle ferry, the skipper shouted from the bridge that the harbour master was now trying to respond to us on channel 16. As we responded we were reprimanded by the Scapa VTS about using channel 16 for routine traffic.
The harbour master helped us tie up along side on the east side of the ferry pier. Refreshments at the end of pier hotel was most welcome. We also were given a very large round fender by the harbour master left behind by a previous visiting yacht, we still have it and its proven its worth.
The next day dawned clear, bright and wind free, so we decided to make passage along the east coast of Stronsay and rounding Auskerry into the Sound of Shapinsay. Once out of the lea of the land we came into the teeth of a F6 SE wind which proved hard work until we rounded Lamb Head and once round Auskerry we had a broad reach into and through the Sound of Shapinsay. It was exhilarating, finally tying up after 5 days in Kirkwall.
As the autumn progressed the weather deteriorated. Not good as I found out. The wind prevailed from the west and there is no protection in the marina. On two occasions I couldn’t get on board Red Ruth as she was blown off the pontoon despite extra mooring lines. Indeed I woke one morning to find that 2 new 20mm multiplait nylon mooring lines with compensators had torn apart!
That made up my mind to move Red Ruth to a more secure marina. By then there appeared to be a weather window during the Christmas week. So I organised crew and drew up the passage plan. As usual it didn’t go to plan and the crew called off, but if I was to get Red Ruth to the new Inverness marina I still had to go as planned, but single handed.
At 1145 on the 23rd of December 2008, I departed the marina with John and Sandra releasing the lines and waving me off. Sandra looked concerned, maybe she knew something I didn’t.
Out in the bay the wind was as predicted a F4 from the SW, and up went the main sail and then out came the yankee. I had a good broad reach through the String and out into Shapinsay Sound, using the tide to full benefit. However, the wind was building and by the time I was 5 miles off Copinsay the wind was up to 30kts still from the SW, with a 3-4 metre sea. Should I turn back or continue and hope that the weather forecast would come right? It was proving hard work to control Red Ruth but I felt confident in her ability to cope with the weather. So I continued south.
I crossed the Pentland Firth a good 10 miles off the Skerries to avoid the tides and fishing pots. By 2000 hours I was off of Wick and the wind had died to just a faint zephyr. Motor on. Thereafter it was 20 minutes sleep every hour, then an hourly plot on the paper chart, a visual and radar chart, a quick bite to eat and then back to sleep. At 0900 on the 24th on a bright windfree and sharp morning I was tied up on a finger pontoon in Inverness marina, Lorraine had watched me coming in under the Kessock Bridge and helped me tie up. Red Ruth was to stay there until August 2010.
In July 2010 the Invergordon Boat Club held its annual Moray Firth Cruiser Race from Findhorn to Cromarty. I entered Red Ruth and she was given a handicap and entered into the fast cruiser section. Once again crewing proved to be difficult and eventually it came down to myself and a friend, Graham Sutherland. We had to be at the start line for 1200 hours, which meant leaving Inverness at 0800 for the 26nm trip.
The morning started grey and damp with a NE wind. By the time we rounded Chanonry Point the wind was up to 25kts and there was a short sharp chop. Both of us took stock, even Graham was feeling the effects of mal de mare. We decided to continue to Cromarty Bank Buoy and review. By then the sea state had settled to something more comfortable so we pressed on.
Eventually we arrived at the start line by 1115 hours and there was a restricted fleet, many having decided not to come out or had turned back. Even with a reefed main and no foresail we were making 4.5kts. We heard the 5 minute horn but could not see the committee boat as they had forgotten to bring the flag, they were disappearing below the wave peaks!
As usual we started at the back of the fleet, it helps to avoid collisions, but nearly ran down the committee boat. We soon overhauled the fleet and using the waypoints in the chart plotter made the first mark downwind, came round it to starboard onto a beam reach, pulling further away outstripping even the Topper Bull which reportedly had a top speed of 18kts. On to the next mark and then a beat up to the next mark and finally taking it to starboard onto a broad reach between the Sutors and then across the line finishing at 1500 hours and covering about 23 nms. Hard work but a great thrill.
Even more thrilling to find that we were first in class picking up the Commodore’s Cup. The first Cromarty boat to do so, done in style and with just the 2 of us on board. A real achievement and yet another demonstration of the Rustler pedigree. Apparently we had upset some of the other skippers who had expected to win by right!
The next trip was to be the passage to Falmouth and the real start to our dream. | <urn:uuid:cdc622d1-4df3-4a73-b9eb-fc68d0b5ae2c> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://www.syredruth.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=285344 | 2018-02-19T04:11:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812327.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219032249-20180219052249-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.979768 | 2,173 |

Not really, you have to open ffalarms and from Options select

Appeal to Belief is a fallacy that has this general pattern:
Most people believe that a claim, X, is true.
Therefore X is true.
This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the fact that many people believe a claim does not, in general, serve as evidence that the claim is true.
There are, however, some cases when the fact that many people accept a claim as true is an indication that it is true. For example, while you are visiting Maine, you are told by several people that they believe that people older than 16 need to buy a fishing license in order to fish. Barring reasons to doubt these people, their statements give you reason to believe that anyone over 16 will need to buy a fishing license.
There are also cases in which what people believe actually determines the truth of a claim. For example, the truth of claims about manners and proper behavior might simply depend on what people believe to be good manners and proper behavior. Another example is the case of community standards, which are often taken to be the standards that most people accept. In some cases, what violates certain community standards is taken to be obscene. In such cases, for the claim "x is obscene" to be true is for most people in that community to believe that x is obscene. In such cases it is still prudent to question the justification of the individual beliefs.

We take pride in our work, delivering the perfect combination of speed and competency. This gives us the ability to fix the problem right the first time around.
5. Do you have at least two years of plumbing experience? That's the minimum we require of the experienced plumber recruits we add to our team.

6. Are you ready for the physical demands of being a plumber? Be prepared for physical work and the need to perform heavy lifting at times.

The varying situations and problems our plumbers deal with from day to day prevent the work from ever getting boring.

This week, a court in Hong Kong ruled that Albert Yeung has the right to sue Google for autocomplete suggestions that link him to organized crime.
According to a report from the Associated Press, Yeung is suing Google because it "refused to remove autocomplete suggestions such as ‘triad,' as organized crime gangs are known in China."
When you enter Yeung's name into Google, "triad" is among the terms that pop up in the autocomplete box as exemplified below.
According to Forbes, Yeung is worth approximately $1.1 billion and has consistently appeared on its "Hong Kong's 50 Richest" list.
Yeung is known as a self-made billionaire with ties to real estate and the retail and entertainment industries.
Google had argued the proper course of action would be for Yeung to address the websites directly that were publishing the "inaccurate" information. However, the ruling judge disagreed and said, "Google had the ability to censor material," the AP reported.
This case is just another in a long line of so-called "Right to be Forgotten" requests and lawsuits that search engines have faced over the past few months.
While we can appreciate that no such case would ever hold water in the United States, that doesn't mean we are not affected. These cases are beginning to create holes in history and take away access to information. What do you see being the long-term consequences of cases like this? | <urn:uuid:b37cd70c-46f8-4637-8390-9154911a98b8> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2359553/you-autocomplete-me-should-google-monitor-suggestions | 2015-01-26T16:29:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115864313.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161104-00161-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979203 | 304 |

DONATE A CAR IN INDIANAPOLIS
A most inspiring and commendable act that anyone can do is to help a struggling person get back on their feet. Our world needs compassionate individuals who are ready to lend a helping hand whenever help is needed. Goodwill Car Donations offers you the chance to make someone’s life better today.
How We Help Disadvantaged People
When you donate your rusty old beater to us, you’ll set yourself up for a cost-free and nearly effortless method of vehicle disposal. At the same time, you’ll make a huge difference in the lives of disadvantaged individuals in Indianapolis.
We’ll have your donated vehicle sold at auction, with the proceeds going straight to the Goodwill Car Donations organizations in Indiana to support their critical mission-focused programs. These nonprofits provide their beneficiaries in your community with life-transforming benefits such as skills and job training, career development and placement, scholarships, youth employment, livelihood, disability benefits support, and other community-building support services.
Thanks to your car donation, once jobless individuals can be empowered to support themselves and their families and become productive members of your community and society.
How You Can Take Part in Car Donation
We take pride in our seamless donation process that takes just a few minutes to start. Our team handles all the heavy lifting including the free towing of donated vehicles and all the required paperwork.
- Contact us.
You can jumpstart your vehicle donation by giving us a call at 866-233-8586 or filling out our secure online donation form. Provide us with the basic details about the vehicle you are offering to donate and your contact information.
- Schedule your vehicle’s free towing.
After verifying the information you shared with us, we’ll call you back to set up a schedule for your vehicle’s towing that’s convenient for you. We’ll send a licensed tow truck to collect your vehicle. You won’t have to pay for towing because it’s absolutely free!
Upon acceptance of your vehicle donation, the tow truck driver will hand you a towing receipt. You can use this to cancel your vehicle’s insurance coverage and DMV registration.
- You receive your tax-deductible receipt.
We’ll coordinate with our nationwide network of vehicle liquidation vendors to have your car auctioned off. We’ll go the extra mile to make sure that your vehicle is sold through an auction house where your donation will fetch its highest selling price. This way, you can obtain the maximum tax deduction for your donation.
Once your vehicle is sold, we’ll have your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt sent to you by mail. You can use this receipt to claim your tax deduction when you file your itemized tax return in the next tax season.
The Types of Vehicles You Can Donate
One of the things that make us a popular choice among vehicle donors is that we don’t require them to spruce up their vehicles to make them more appealing before donating them to us. In fact, we accept even outdated vehicles with thousands of miles on them. In some cases, we take even those that are no longer in good working condition.

My Dad painted my bedroom once. One wall was all bumpy with the ghost of old wallpaper, and as he was painting over what should have been sanded, a huge bubble formed. For fun: he popped it. The outline of that bubble remained above my bed for the next 5 years. We all love my Dad, but we also all know how terrible he is at painting. Thankfully, there are some amazingly skilled painter-dads out there. Here is some of their best work!
1. Basically the opposite of my old bedroom wall: this fantastic chevron wall that Super Dad Eric painted for his baby girl Ellia Marin.
2. Otto's Dad not only painted this canvas for above his crib, but made the mobile too!
3. If you didn't think Dads could re-do feminine dressers, you're wrong! Check out this beautiful dresser from Madelyn's Vintage Meets Modern Nursery. (Granted, an Aunt helped, but still!)
4. The print hanging above Elsa's change table in her Adorable Blue Nursery is a print made of a painting by creative Dad Jeff McMillan. It is Elsa's Mom's favorite thing in the room.
5. Wowzers I can't get over these Dr Seuss murals painted by Enzo's Dad for his nursery: amazing!

Angler's Dream: Fishing in SW
The St. Joseph River, which flows into Lake
Chapin, creates one of the best fishing areas in the Midwest.
600+ acre Lake Chapin was formed when the Berrien Springs Dam was constructed
on the St. Joe River in 1908 and has since become a consistently
top-ranked fishing destination. The St. Joe River below Berrien
Springs is a world-class steelhead fishery stocked with more
than 250,000 fish every year. A fish ladder on the river
in nearby Berrien Springs allows steelhead and king salmon
to make their annual journey. Your
Southwest Michigan lake home puts you right in front of
all the action. If you want waters teeming with
steelhead, walleye pike, northern pike, salmon, bass, trout,
and more, come to Lake Chapin Shores. Check out this 42" northern pike our newest resident caught just a few feet off of our shore a couple of weeks after moving into his new Michigan lake home, !
Fishing Charters nearby, including some on
Lake Michigan, just 15 minutes away:
For a great local source for fishing tackle and rods, apparel, bait, and more, including hunting and camping gear and gifts, be sure to visit the nearby Trailhead Mercantile in Niles. Give Bryan a call at 269-683-FISH (683-3474) for real local knowledge of great spots to drop a line as well as an expert opinion on everything in his vast inventory. If nothing else, drop in to browse his fun shop at 209 East Main Street in downtown Niles when you're in the area.

With the Tokyo Game Show now in full swing, Sony has decided to reveal some news that many gamers have been eagerly anticipating: the high-definition rerelease of PS2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is indeed real, and Team Ico's upcoming game The Last Guardian finally has a release window.
The Ico/SOTC HD collection has been rumored for quite some time—we even caught a glimpse of what the collection could look like—but now it's official. And it looks like Sony is doing more than just a simple HD facelift. It will also feature support for 3D and Trophies, the framerate will be locked at 30fps, and the game will include the European ending. It's expected to be released in spring 2011.
We also finally have some new details on Team Ico's third game, The Last Guardian. Though a firm release date has yet to be announced, Sony says that the game will be available to PS3 owners during the 2011 holiday season. The company also unveiled a much-anticipated new trailer, which shows off some of the gameplay. The game appears to be a cross between Team Ico's previous two efforts, with the cooperative elements of Ico and a giant creature that makes a much more cuddly colossi. It also appears to be much more lighthearted than the developer's previous games, though knowing Team Ico, The Last Guardian will most likely find a way to make you cry. | <urn:uuid:16340749-828e-4994-9203-6ee396d48eaa> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/09/hd-icosotc-remake-official-last-guardian-coming-in-2011/ | 2017-02-23T04:27:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171070.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00281-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971691 | 300 |
This article is for anyone who wishes to master the art of seduction, the art of success, selling, business, martial arts or anything else.
Have you ever read a great tip or philosophy that made lots of sense, just to read or hear another conflicting tip right after ? If you listen to the ideas of 5 experts, 10 friends, your family, television and teachers, you know what I’m talking about. Even if you only listen to the 3 best experts, their ideas will often conflict and you’ll end up going back and forth without knowing where to go.
To keep your sanity and accelerate your progress in whatever you want to achieve, it is essential to filter everything you read, hear and see. I will show you how to do this.
All ideas, be they the art of seduction, the art of success or business, can be broken down in 2 categories: getting or giving.
First, let’s talk about ideas coming from a mentality of scarcity and getting from others. That’s the clear majority of people and ideas: getting girls, getting love, getting validation, getting money, getting sales, getting, getting, getting. Maybe 95% of tips and ideas fall into this category. Some techniques are really good and, unfortunately, will bring some success. I say unfortunately because you’ll end up trying and trying to have that occasional success again. You’ll realize that:
1) It’s a numbers game and results are inconsistent.
2) No matter how much success you have, you never have enough.
3) It is way too much work.
My recommendation is to identify these tips, tricks and techniques and to ignore them.
Secondly, let’s talk about ideas coming from a mentality of abundance and giving to others. Giving love, giving security, giving recognition, giving ideas, giving experiences, giving wisdom. But you can’t give what you don’t have within yourself. Very few experts teach this state of mind because:
1) It is counter intuitive to get a relationship or money by stopping the need for it.
2) It requires changing at the core, and most people identify themselves by their issues.
When you find ideas in that category, take everything you can from it while making sure to filter it properly. No matter whom you listen to, don’t take anything for granted; take what feels right for you.
Let’s take these concepts of abundance and break them down in 2 other categories: learning vs. becoming aware.
To understand the difference, think about when you were a kid and learning to ride a bicycle. Were you learning to ride, or becoming aware of how to ride ? You could spend weeks reading a book about how to ride a bike, how to hold your back, how to place your hands, how to turn and how to brake. You’d get on the bike and fall down ! Why ? Because you learned the techniques to ride but hadn’t become aware of how to do it. You’d fall down until you became aware of your body, balance, and mobility. Then, you could be off the bicycle and try again 40 years later; you’d still be able to ride ! Once you become aware of something, it’s permanent. That’s the difference.
First, let’s look at learning. When you go to school, you have to remember a whole bunch of stuff that you mostly forget right after the exam. Nobody really shows you how to understand the fundamental truth behind what you learn. Nobody tells you to filter what you take in and what you reject. Nobody tells you to follow your gut feelings. In school, you learn conformity to fill the job market’s demand. When you learn a job, you’re taught steps to follow to achieve a certain result, but your teacher gets angry when you get off track and start wondering about the whys.
Now let’s look at another approach I have heard from only 2 people in my entire life: becoming aware. You reject all misconceptions in your mind, especially about relationships, money and God. You forget the intellectual thinking and clear your mind. You seek to understand the truth behind the tips and ideas and you follow your intuition. You get on a bike and become aware of your body balance. You go in the water and become aware of how to float on an emotional level. You learn a job and are not bound to any fixed procedures; you understand the concepts, think “outside the box” and figure out a way to do the work more effectively than anyone else. You learn about the art of seduction and really become aware of the simple, natural mating process, which is covered by tons of social programming. You can only change what you’re aware of, and when you become aware of fundamental principles, everything becomes easy, simple and consistent.
Back to our main subject of filtering information. What should we do with all this ? Out of techniques coming from a mentality of abundance, some will be about learning, some will be about becoming aware, and some will be a mix of both.
Here’s a good way to filter it all.
1) Forget about the rules.
2) Inspire yourself from the actions.
3) Become aware of the base principles.
Always listen to your intuition as to what feels right and what feels wrong. Don’t take anything for granted, no matter whom it comes from, even from me. You know all the answers intuitively.
By being crystal clear on what ideas you stand for, your focus will be much clearer and your progress much faster.

Since the day the first Sims game was launched, virtual architects have been using its built-in construction tools to create exotic and bizarre monuments ranging from heart-shaped islands to a mansion made entirely out of stacked trailer homes . With the same tenacious ambition but with a stated purpose to do "terrible things," Reddit user BourgeoisBanana presented a project earlier this week of a more sensitive nature: the Gaudet Plantation , a lush colonial farmstead complete with slave workers and affluent white owners. But is it actually a terrible thing to explore the darker periods of history?
On a whim, BourgeoisBanana set out to see how closely he could recreate the living conditions of both slave and owner on a plantation. "I'm a large history and architecture buff, and The Sims is a great outlet for both of those, despite getting a lot of flak for being a 'casual' game," he told PC Gamer. "Being British, the colonial era is of particular interest of mine, and after seeing Django Unchained, the idea sort of came to me. I had the day off, so I thought, 'Why not?'"
A small pile of mods were used to design and model both the slave quarters and mansion. The mods set parameters for reflecting the quality of life (or lack thereof) for the slaves, locking them out from the main building and tweaking the AI to stuff in more Sims per house.
"The general layout of the plantation was of my own design, and several people pointed out that it wasn't entirely historically accurate, but given the tools I think I did the best I could," BourgeoisBanana explained. "The house was more or less of my own design too, loosely based off several colonial plantation houses of the era. My main inspiration for the exterior was the plantation house from a level in Hitman: Blood Money. Django Unchained certainly was a great reference too."
BourgeoisBanana recognizes how his creation's stark depiction of racism doesn't exactly mesh with the game's cheerful suburban innocence. He hopes for a future where more games and gamers explore all facets of history, even where doing so may make us uncomfortable. "I believe that to deny our history is to make it repeatable, and discouraging projects such as this one won't prevent racism in the least," he said. "Not only gamers, but all forms of media should definitely get over this politically correct phase we seem to be going through so we can expose the brutality of our past, rather than covering it up and pretending it never happened."
So, is it really a terrible thing? As the plantation's creator touched upon, ignoring our past mistakes with civil rights won't make them simply disappear. Thus, why shouldn't we reconstruct terrible events from history? If not for the goal of sending a message, then just as a way to satisfy curiosity? How would an in-game replication of a slave ship , for example, look like using Minecraft blocks? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments. | <urn:uuid:8129299e-a49b-46fd-ae00-de69b4b08450> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.pcgamer.com/the-sims-3-slavery-plantation/ | 2020-08-13T14:59:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739046.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813132415-20200813162415-00269.warc.gz | en | 0.968212 | 610 |
News Waiting in the Summer Released by MVM June 3
posted on 2013-01-21 06:17 EST
The 2012 series is a high school comedy series following a group of students creating a film during summer break. MVM summarises the series as follows:
When a group of friends decide to make a movie over a long summer holiday, they end up learning a little about filmmaking and a lot more about each other and themselves. What begins as a simple way to avoid the summer doldrums quickly turns into something much more complex, intimate, and downright revealing. As the summer heats up, so do the maturing relationships between the young cast members, taking some new, and sometimes unexpected, turns.
Produced by J. C. Staff, the anime reunites story creator Yousuke Kuroda and original character designer Taraku Uon, who previously collaborated on Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins, and director Tatsuyuki Nagai and character designer Masayoshi Tanaka, who worked on AnoHana and Toradora!

When my friend Naomi talked to me about helping out with her daughter's 80s high school reunion murder mystery party, I knew immediately that I wanted to decorate their great room to look like a party in a high school gym. Streamers. Round tables. Balloons. Dance floor. And, of course, a disco ball.
I originally thought about finding an actual disco ball, and I even found a couple good candidates on Craigslist for about the $20 mark. But then I had an epiphany: if I were to make a piñata that looks like a disco ball, I could spend a lot less, get the same general look, have a party activity, and not have to figure out what to do with a disco ball after the party!
If you remember my tutorial on making a rose pomander piñata, you'll notice a lot of similarities.
DIY Disco Ball Piñata Materials:
- plastic cup full of rocks
- wallpaper paste
- silver paint
- large sequins or paillettes
First, blow up the balloon and tape it to a plastic cup filled with rocks (to give it extra stability as you're working). Cut strips of newspaper, dip them in wallpaper paste, and start smoothing on the surface of the balloon.
Let the paper dry between layers, and coat the balloon with 4 layers of paper and paste. I often do an extra layer or two for extra strength at the top of the piñata (the bottom area near the cup as you're making the papier-mâché shape). That's the spot at which the piñata will hang, and can always use some extra reinforcement.
**optional** Instead of using newspaper for the final layer, use white printer paper or paper towels. the white color of the final layer of paper means that you'll have to do less painting to cover up the newsprint later.
Once the disco ball piñata shape is formed and completely dry, paint it silver.
Once the silver paint is dry, it's time for the fun part! I found large silver paillettes at Hobby Lobby. I think I used 4 bags (250 pieces each) to complete the project. I used clear Elmer's school glue to glue the shiny silver sequins to the surface of my piñata.
Glue a bunch, let dry. Repeat. Repeat. The actual time for labor involved in this project is pretty minimal, but you do need to figure in a bunch of drying time! It's best to start this project at least a week before the party, though it can be done in about a day and a half if you absolutely must. I don't like to be that rushed and precise if I don't have to. I prefer a more languid approach, doing the next step when I notice that the project is ready for it, but not rushing each step to squeeze the project in before my deadline.
All that's left to do now is fill and hang the piñata! (Don't forget my tip for filling a piñata!)
All that's left to do now is to groove your dance moves under it at the party, and whack it to bits.
And, if the party is really good, re-purpose the pieces for use as hats. | <urn:uuid:6d0cd592-56f3-4b01-b2a8-f274d7a40045> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://tikkido.com/node/773 | 2014-10-31T10:30:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637899548.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025819-00030-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956554 | 681 |

U.S. Xpress Raises Driver Pay 13%
TT File Photo
U.S. Xpress Enterprises said it is increasing base mileage pay for solo drivers by an average of 13% to retain and attract more drivers.
The company also is eliminating the sliding pay scale for all over-the-road solo drivers, Starting Aug. 25, drivers will earn the same base mileage pay regardless of the length of haul, according to U.S. Xpress.
“Our industry needs to celebrate professional, career drivers and better reward them for the hard work they do day in and day out to safely deliver freight on time and without incident,” U.S. Xpress CEO Max Fuller said in a statement.
“Drivers are the ones who ensure that our store shelves are not empty, manufacturing does not grind to a halt and our economy does not stall,” he added.
The sliding pay scale made it difficult for drivers to calculate their base pay from week to week, according to the company and it decided on the change based on driver feedback.
“By making this investment today, U.S. Xpress will be in a better position to attract more professional, elite drivers that will help the company meet this emerging demand for its shipping services and ensure the company continues to grow as one of the leading providers of transportation services,” the company said in a statement.
U.S. Xpress ranks No. 18 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.

Do you ever need a visual reminder to remember something you intend to do? Well, that’s exactly what the “Yellow Bag” program does for folks at Fairview Village Church of the Nazarene and Lower Providence Presbyterian Church.
Bright yellow plastic bags with carrying handles hang on special racks in highly visible locations in both buildings. Each bag has a list of items needed by the Hospitality Center attached. Worshipers simply pick up a bag, fill it with needed items and return the bag to a designated area. The contents are delivered to the Hospitality Center and the empty bags are returned to the racks to be reused.
Please pick up a bag and fill it today! | <urn:uuid:44228271-005e-4405-a461-f5f258c9749f> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.hospitalitycenter.org/yellow-bags/ | 2018-06-20T18:37:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863834.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620182802-20180620202802-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.933875 | 141 |

K9 Search and Sescue Specialists Inc.'s Tracy Sargent works with… (Dave Martin / Associated…)
Reporting from Birmingham, Ala. — The scope of devastation left by the second-deadliest tornado blast in U.S. history continued to emerge Saturday as stunned survivors combed the wreckage of homes churned into matchsticks and aid workers and volunteers struggled to get food, water and generators to thousands displaced across seven Southern states.
Hundreds who spent the night in emergency shelters hastily erected in hardest-hit Tuscaloosa, Ala., scoured the remnants of their homes and businesses for photos and keepsakes, mostly in vain. Many returned dispiritedly to the shelters, where the first federal relief teams were handing out application forms for temporary housing and reconstruction aid.
The death toll across the South climbed to 345, according to state emergency services, exceeded only by a 1925 storm sweep that killed 747, the National Weather Service reported.

Some of the displaced in towns throughout the region couldn't make it back to their property to assess their losses because of security roadblocks and downed power lines. Kendra Coleman, her husband and three sons, were turned away as they tried to return to their three-bedroom apartment in Pratt City from the downtown Birmingham shelter where they had been sleeping since Wednesday.
At the shelter, Coleman said they were not permitted to shower and her boys were beginning to tire out.
"They tell me 'Momma, I wanna go home,' and I just want to cry," she said. "Because I have no idea where home is anymore."
The American Red Cross has opened 16 shelters across Alabama, taking in about 900 of the newly homeless, said spokesman Chris Osborne.
Eqecat, a disaster risk assessment operation, estimated the region sustained as much as $5 billion in insured losses alone from the tornadoes.
On Saturday, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox said 39 people were confirmed dead in the area. Although 454 people were reported as missing to authorities, officials cautioned that many have likely been reunited with family or friends. About 30,000 people remained without power, but dozens of generators were being moved to the area to provide electricity to the shelters and makeshift dwellings cropping up to house those made homeless by the disaster.
About 1,000 National Guard troops and a mobile relief operations center were on their way from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Maddox said.
The Obama administration continued its aggressive response to the disaster as five cabinet officials prepared to tour the damage and recovery efforts Sunday in the hardest-hit states of Alabama and Mississippi.
"Our top priority is to support the states and communities affected by this as recovery efforts are underway," said Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who was already in the region.
FEMA said it has deployed incident management teams in five states struck by the deadly storms --Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. The agency also has set up a support base in Maxwell, Ala., to help move water and other supplies to the affected areas.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has sent survey teams to the region to assess and analyze the damage. And the Nuclear Regulatory Commission continues to monitor the situation at the Browns Ferry nuclear power facility near Athens, Ala., which lost off-site power Wednesday night because of the storms. The plant's reactors were safely shut down using backup power.
The first memorials for some of the dead were planned Sunday for four University of Alabama students killed by Wednesday's tornadoes, the university's student newspaper, the Crimson White, reported. It also reported two other student deaths at Stillman College and Shelton State.
The wreckage inflicted by the storms prompted the university to end the spring semester early and send students home, said university spokeswoman Cathy Andreen. Students will have the option of forgoing final exams and keeping their current grades, and commencement has been postponed to August, she said.
Alabama absorbed the brunt of the weather's violence, with 255 killed, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency reported. According to state emergency service officials across the South, there were 34 dead in Tennessee, 34 in Mississippi, 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and one each in Arkansas and Kentucky.
The erratic blast of tornadoes took out whole towns, erasing their unique ways of life. In Hackleburg, Ala., two tornadoes killed 29 residents and wiped out 100 homes, three schools, the police and fire stations and the town's biggest employer, the Wrangler clothing factory. Rainsville, near the Georgia and Tennessee borders, was without power but for a single generator brought in from Chattanooga by a local pharmacist. Much of Smithville, a town of 857 in northeast Mississippi, was smashed into kindling that blocked roads and hampered delivery of relief supplies.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dispatched its infrared-sensing King Air 350CER surveillance plane to record the devastation between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. The weather agency posted images of a central Tuscaloosa neighborhood from before and after the tornadoes revealing shocking ruin in the once-serene corner of the university town of 83,000. The agency put the number of tornadoes to strike the South last week at 288 in a three-day period.
