Dick Advocaat on the training ground with Billy Dodds and Barry Ferguson. Signing as Manager for Rangers Football Club in 1998 he led Rangers to the treble in his first season after Rangers had gone 15 years without a league title. This was in part due to heavy investment in foreign players. Some great ones at that; Kanchelskis, Numan, Albertz, Van Bronkhurst to name a few. | <urn:uuid:2f746e25-5744-43e7-9879-1455d782cfba> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.curvingclearly.co.uk/shop/football-paintings/dick-advocaat/ | 2021-06-16T10:09:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487623596.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20210616093937-20210616123937-00153.warc.gz | en | 0.939757 | 133 |
Most of us work for someone else before we evolve into entrepreneurs. We often gain valuable knowledge, skills and experience about certain aspects of business that help us identify a business opportunity but it rarely exposes us to the legal, financial and funding elements of starting a new small business. These three topics are closely related in establishing a sound business structure and it is worth your time to make sure you develop a basic understanding of how they may play a part in your business success.
Legal is generally focused on the legal structure of the business. There are several legal structures available for your business. They include sole proprietor, partnerships, corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLC). The primary reason to have a corporation or LLC is to protect your personal assets in case you have a liability claim against the business. Because of the more comprehensive financial record keeping required by law (see Financial) it can make it easier to clearly identify the history and value of the business if you decide to sell it in the future.
Financial refers to the preparation of various financial records. First is how you keep a record of your income and expenses (book keeping) and the preparation of your formal financial reports including a profit and loss statement (P&L) and a Balance Sheet. They also refer to maintaining other records for such things as your sales tax, income tax and payroll records. If you develop a business plan to seek a loan (see Funding) you will be including a projection of your income and expenses for the next 2 or 3 years and indicating how you will spend the money if you get the loan.
Funding refers to the process of obtaining money from either investors that will become owners of the business or getting a commercial loan which is a debt and must be repaid. In either case, the funding source will want to know your legal structure, review your past financial performance including analyzing the financial records noted above, and see a projection of future income and expenses and profit or loss.
There are many more things to learn in order to ensure you are doing everything to protect and enhance the value of your business. Take advantage of SCORE mentors with broad experience in these areas. You also might want to attend the Houston.SCORE.org Legal/Financial/Funding workshop on these subjects led by a SCORE Mentor with broad experience as Legal Counsel and Chief Financial Officer. | <urn:uuid:d8975dd3-5a22-4f48-97d4-59315e5b6839> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://houston.score.org/blog/elements-start-understanding-legal-financial-and-funding-relationships | 2021-09-20T14:50:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057039.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20210920131052-20210920161052-00649.warc.gz | en | 0.960612 | 473 |
Step-Indexed Logical Relations
and McAllester devised the "step-indexed model" in order to express "semantic"
proofs of type safety for use in foundational proof-carrying code.
The basic idea is to characterize type inhabitation as a
predicate indexed by the number of steps of computation left
before "the clock" runs out. In subsequent work, Ahmed and coworkers
have shown how to generalize the step-indexed model to binary
"step-indexed logical relations", with which one may reason
inequationally about programs in languages with semantically complex type
structure (e.g. universal, existential, recursive and mutable reference
types). However, a continual annoyance in working with step-indexed
logical relations, as well as a stumbling block to their general
acceptance, is the tedious, error-prone, and proof-obscuring
step-index arithmetic that seems superficially to be an essential element
of the method.
In this work, we
show how to reason about binary step-indexed logical relations in a more
abstract, high-level way. Specifically, we define a logic LSLR, which
is inspired by Plotkin and Abadi's logic for relational
parametricity, but also supports recursively defined relations by means
of the modal "later" operator from Appel et al.'s "very modal model"
paper. We encode in LSLR a logical relation for reasoning
(in-)equationally about programs in call-by-value System F extended with
recursive types. Using this logical relation, we derive a useful set of
proof rules that allow us to harness the power of
logical relations without counting steps.
This is joint
work with Amal Ahmed and Lars Birkedal.

7th of April, 2012 the Moscow airport Domodedovo turned 50! It’s big, comfortable and modern. Each day the airport is changing for the better. It was the first airport to accept Aeroexpress trains. It was the first to begin reconstruction and become the most modern airport of Russia. One year ago it set an absolute record of flights sent off. 425 planes left the airport with 51 000 passengers.
25 March 1964 was the day of the first passenger flight by TU-104 from Moscow to Sverdlovsk. On 20 May 1964 they opened the air-terminal complex. Regular flights have been performed since 1966.
Today we are going to show you some archival photos of the airport and some modern ones.

Well, this is something almost every pregnant woman goes through. Now the euphoria of discovering your pregnancy just changed into a constant hangover. It is this feeling of nausea in the morning that can happen any time of the day or night.
Usually, nausea and vomiting are the first signs of pregnancy and begins around 6th week of pregnancy. Morning sickness during pregnancy is perfectly normal and absolutely no risk for your precious baby, but affects your daily activities.
Why are you feeling nauseous during pregnancy?
No one knows for sure what causes morning sickness. Morning sickness usually occurs during the early months of pregnancy. The causes of morning sickness are the increase in hormone levels due to formation of your developing fetus. The progesterone levels are high which relaxes the stomach muscles making digestion less efficient resulting in stomach acids and GERD. The HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) hormone produced during conception by embryo and later by placenta could be also responsible for your state. Pregnant woman gets hypoglycemia because the placenta uses up all energy from the mother’s body. Stress is also responsible for gastrointestinal problems.
You more prone to morning sickness, if you are one among the below:
- Those of you having twins or triplets
- If you had severe nausea and vomiting in your first pregnancy
- If you have motion sickness
- You have migraine headaches
- You are obese
- If you are under stress
- Family history of morning sickness
What You Can Do For Morning Sickness?
Most morning sickness would be cured on its own after a few months. Here are some tips to minimize the severity
- Tiredness could make your nausea worse, so take plenty of rest.
- Fluid intake in small amounts and regularly could help your queasiness.
- Get up slowly in the morning as moving quickly could worsen your nausea. Avoid cooking soon after you get up as food smells may trigger them.
- Consider having small high carb meals per day as empty stomach can worsen it.
- Practice pranayama or breathing exercises to get rid of stress.
- Ginger supplements help in alleviating the nausea and vomiting to some extent.
- Fresh air and exercise or a simple walk in the morning could help in keeping the nausea under control.
- Bananas are high in potassium and great in combating nausea.
- Mint has anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe the stomach as well as sniffing them bring you instant relief.
- Try vitamin B6 supplements to reduce nausea and vomiting
- A diet rich in protein is one of the best ways to prevent morning sickness.
Risk Factors of Morning Sickness
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition where a pregnant woman suffers from severe nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. In severe cases, they are required to stay in hospital for treatment with IV fluids.
You don’t need to worry about not eating much, as your baby is tiny and needs less nutrition when the morning sickness is at its worst. You can make up for the lost weight after the first trimester. Just take it as a hangover and you will get over this phase too.
Consult your doctor if the nausea and vomiting is severe. He may recommend antiemetics, which are perfectly safe to use in pregnancy. | <urn:uuid:220d6e99-f962-4fb9-8058-065a47e04e07> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://blog.mamaearth.in/morning-sickness-during-pregnancy/ | 2018-10-22T02:23:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583514443.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022005000-20181022030500-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.945068 | 686 |
Unholy Magic Attack
Sing the song of the seven winds as I spit the dragons fire.
I summon deities of hate through unholy magic spells.
Surging unto the cosmic realms in the search of ancient moan.
From the chasms of asmodeus storms of chaos shall unleash.
Chanting under skies of titan moons
Invoking solitary demons
Wicked screams rising from a thousand thrones
Shadows covering temples of doom.
OH! How I bleed, my blood summons the black lord.
Eyes of might, fire so brigth, black sky lighten from the evil horned moon.
Unholy magic attack
Roll the drums in satans name
Infinite spells of hate I cast from my moon throne.
Chanting words of doom to enemies of mine
Attack with might
NAAMAH, NAAMAH the shadowed one
SHAMDON, SHAMDON the evil one
ASHTART, ASHTART the fire son

Did the heads today… lapped in the valves, new double springs, to match the 280 degree, .480/.480 cam. In a couple of days, I’ll go back over and finish putting in the crank, camshaft, pistons and timing gears. Had a couple of distractions today, so didn’t get as far along as I had hoped.
Found out the body work is all done on the cab and bed. Chassis should be done by next weekend, and I want to have the engine ready to mount, so I can lay out the mounting modifications. Who’d a thought that Ford didn’t allow for mounting a Chevy engine in their trucks, eh?
(Click to enlarge, but be warned, they’re large files)
We want to close up the C-channel frame with some stainless sheet metal before painting it. Makes for nice clean runs for wiring and brake lines.
I had hoped to finish the heads, and install the pistons, crank and cam today. Just wasn’t to be, I guess. Ah well…. it’ll still be there tomorrow!
Not much of a break, but once I get started, I like to keep on… getting back up to speed ain’t as easy as it used to be!
The 351 ended up at the dump, as we couldn’t find anyone interested in it, and it was taking up too much space. Pity! A great engine.
As you can see, the bed was pretty rough. When we’re finished, it’ll be red oak, with polished stainless, boltless deck runners. The tailgate will have invisible latches, instead of the stock chains and hooks. | <urn:uuid:f65588be-e2fa-45d0-a5c9-b4f60dbdaa7e> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | https://mst3.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/the-fordolet-project-continues/ | 2015-07-29T02:34:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042985647.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002305-00073-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958972 | 363 |

Manhattan Nights was first published in 1937. The Dell Edition came out in 1951 and featured this cover, by Robert Stanley. The boxer looks remarkably good for someone who gets beat up for a living. Neither his his manager nor his trainer seem to be there but his girlfriend made to the edge of the ring. Hopefully, she’s telling him to keep his hands up and protect that handsome face. It is almost Valentine’s Day, after all.
Without a doubt one of the best pop songs ever written, Things Can Only Get Better was meant to be a gift of positive energy for the people who had purchased Howard Jones’s first album. There’s no irony or sarcasm in this song, which is one of the thing that makes it so effective. Howard Jones is telling his fans that things can only get better. It’s not just humans that Jones’s song has helped through the years. He also recorded a version in the language of the Sims for The Sims 2.
This video was directed by the prolific Nigel Dick. The video features Jones trying to get ready for a concert, while Charlie Chaplin and … I guess that’s supposed to be Daniel LaRusso from The Karate Kid, hang out backstage. Chaplin was played by Jed Hoile, who was a mime who regularly performed as a part of Jones’s stage act. It was the 80s. It didn’t have to make sense.
The video was popular on MTV and helped make the song into a hit, though I’d like to think that a song this upbeat and catchy would have been a hit even without the video. This is another song that I have fond memories of listening to while driving around Vice City. | <urn:uuid:25fab358-7adc-49d4-90dc-a344725729c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://unobtainium13.com/2021/02/12/ | 2021-02-26T07:03:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178356232.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226060147-20210226090147-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.963125 | 657 |
I wonder if I'll be able to put a date to when I broke the camel's back: will it be September 4, 2011? I'm probably over-reacting, but if that's so, at least I'll be happy about what I did: I got the kids some Bibles. They've always really liked my little pocket-sized KJV that I bring with me to Sunday School. They like the red letters for whenever an author has Jesus speaking. They like the size. They like the self-pronouncing names.
So I went and got a bunch of KJV bibles from the Internet: they were cheap and seemed like a good idea. Then, as I was ordering, I thought a bit about what I was getting them and decided to order a handful of similarly sized NIVs. Yes, I know that the NIV isn't the most accurate translation (trying to determine what is would be an exercise in futility and argument about the purposes and limitations of biblical translation), but it's certainly the most popular English version and one that any non-Mormon Christian is going to be very familiar with. Besides, almost anything would be better than the KJV (well, possibly not The Message, but that's my opinion).
The lesson was on Galatians and some fun chapters in Acts, which really ticked me off. We're going to be spending three weeks on the Corinthian letters, which are mostly rambling letters that address a multiplicity of topics, but for Galatians and Romans, where genuine Paul attempts to explain his complex theological model of Jesus as Messiah we get less than a single class session each. Why is that? The cynical side of me is actually rather convinced that the grace message of both Galatians and Romans is troubling to the Correlation Committee. Both of them are rather unapologetic in their approach: faith is what Paul feels starts the whole process of justification and salvation. Works don't ever enter into it.
Being an agnostic does not mean that I somehow shouldn't spend time trying to puzzle out what Paul is saying. I may not view Jesus of Nazareth the same way as Paul, but that doesn't mean that it's a waste of my time to try and understand Paul. It's intellectually lazy for some to approach Paul as though their belief system (or lack of one) somehow informs them better of Paul's points before they even read him. Mormons are certainly guilty of this as well. The lesson on Romans, for instance, attempts to push the teacher to tell the students that Paul is all about grace and works, which is like saying that the American Revolution was all about taxes on tea.
My own research on Paul is strongly influenced by the recent "New Perspectives" movement, especially the writings of N.T Wright. In fact, Wright's most recent book about Paul, Justification, is a fantastic exploration of genuine Paul's beliefs about God's plan for humanity. I think that Mormons are missing a huge opportunity by refusing to deal with this grace/works issue. As I keep studying the New Perspectives, and especially as I read Wright, I am constantly surprised by how my Mormon upbringing helps out in dealing with concepts that are apparently more foreign to traditional Protestants. Wright in particular is a fan of approaching Pauls arguments from a "covenantal" perspective. Mormons are all about covenants, and yet I see Wright go through some detailed discussion of suzerainty contracts to explain the concept.
I hope the kids weren't too bored with my attempts to cover the material of Galatians from a New Perspectives perspective :-). We'll see if it was helpful at all when/if I teach the lesson on Romans, which is basically a continuation and expansion of the themes explored in Galatians. AS it was, I know they at least enjoyed my telling them that Galatians is the "angry" letter, that Paul at one point in it is so angry that he expresses a wish that his enemies in Galatia didn't just stop as circumcision but were themselves mutilated (I didn't mention, however, that the footnotes' explanation of the phrase "I were that they were cut off" as a reference to excommunication is quite anachronistic and not nearly as likely as Paul actually calling for his opponents to cut off their own penises), and Paul's description of his dressing down of Peter due to Peter's failure to continue treating Gentile Christians the same as Jewish Christians. Seriously, I love Galatians because the veneer of the stoic "Saint" Paul falls away and we see a human being who can get seriously ticked off (at the end of the letter he even grabs the paper from his scribe and finishes the letter on his own ending with a terse dismissal of his opponents and a plea to "let no one trouble me").
During the discussion I made sure to mention how for Paul, entrance to the new covenant community between God and humanity is based upon faith in Jesus. It's not based on doing anything in particular, and when Paul does mention things that Mormons would call "works", such as avoiding contention (ironically) being unified, he does so more from an honor perspective. In other words, entrance to the community of Christians is based on faith, and once we belong to this community we should act like it. Paul nowhere says that bad behavior within this community will eject us from it, but rather asserts that the faith necessary to truly enter into the community and enter a justified status before God is a transformative faith. Once we are dead to sin Paul encourages us to leave it alone. That's what all of the stuff about fornication and other stuff is about.
Paul opponents accused him of being an antinomian, or a person who encourages lawless living, because of his assertion that sin is conquered by faith in Jesus and not through ritual observances as found in the Torah. Paul agrees with them, but denies being an antinomian. His constant expression translated in the KJV as "God forbid", or more modernly as "hell no!", is applied to the idea that a person should expand the miracle of being saved as an unrighteous human by being even more unrighteous and thus making grace abound even more fully. Paul's response is to reiterate that entrance to the community of Christ should create a yearning to live better, but he does not ever say that his opponents are wrong in their reductio ad absurdum. For Paul, faith is an "is", and works are an "ought": faith is the principle of salvation for God's community, and good works are how members of that community ought to behave.
We'll see if this lesson is the one that finally gets me kicked out, which would then free me to actually speak my mind even more fully in the adult Gospel Doctrine class! (Hmm, maybe that's why the Bishop lets me stay where I am?) Oddly enough, I was telling the kids that Paul, in Galatians, is all about faith instead of works, but if this is the end, I'm pretty sure it'll be because of the Bibles. And yet, I only got them the Bibles because I want them to read the Bible and the KJV is crap. Besides, once they actually start to read the New Testament, especially one without the thought-limiting "study aids" found in the LDS standard works, they'll already be in a better position to evaluate the faith claims of the LDS Church. As I've said before, I'm not trying to produce a class of future ex-Mormons, but rather a class of future well-rounded Mormons with a tolerance for the beliefs of others. As the LDS Church continues to retreat more towards fundamentalist in regards to feminism and homosexuality I'm sure that such an approach will probably force more young people with such a view point to not comfortably remain within the LDS Church, but that's up to them.
So that's how the week went: explaining to the kids how the modern faith/works debate is influenced by 450-year-old arguments of the Protestant Reformation, what Paul's actually saying in Galatians (which is still faith and graced, but not so much anti-works as anti-Torah), and giving them pocket KJVs and NIVs.
I'll let you when/if the hammer falls. :-) I hope it doesn't fall before the end of the year. There's still so much to try and work into the class: the hopeful Christianity of Romans to combat the guilty, neurotic Christianity of modern Mormonism; the pseudo-Pauline letters and issues of Pauline authorship (I actually covered a little of this already when trying to get them excited about reading 1 Thessalonians, the oldest book of the Bible ["What's the second oldest?" "Well, if Paul wrote it, then 2 Thessalonians, but there's some serious doubt that Paul actually wrote that one"]); James and his misreading of Paul in trying to respond to Paul's apparent antinomianism; and of course the craziness of the Revelation of John (not to mention all of the equally-crazy Mormon cruft that has accumulated around the Revelation and is in the manual). I hope I can get to all of it.

Citi’s Incentive Mirrors Hyundai’sby Tim Manni
It seems Citigroup has taken a page from Hyundai’s book. Just as Hyundai’s “Assurance Plus” program temporarily pays customers’ monthly payments if they recently lost their job, Citi has announced a similar initiative that temporarily lowers their unemployed customers’ monthly mortgage payment:
Under the program, Citigroup will temporarily lower mortgage payments to an average of $500 a month for certain borrowers who have recently lost their jobs and are at least 60 days behind on their mortgage payments. Borrowers will be allowed to make the lower payments for three months. Citigroup will waive interest and penalties during this period.
Sanjiv Davis, chief executive of CitiMortgage, claims that the program, designed to help thousands, will tackle unemployment — the biggest issue currently facing mortgage servicers.
Citi’s unemployment assistance plan was announced yesterday, one day before the Treasury released the guidelines of the loan mod portion of their Housing Affordability and Stability Plan (HASP). As the government becomes increasingly invested in Citi, and the fact that the bank, despite industry opposition, supports the government’s mortgage cramdown, has led some to question the influence of this incentive:
Mr. Das said the federal government “had no role at all” in the company’s latest loan-modification effort. The new program “was created by us, developed by us and is now being implemented by us,” he said. “There was no pressure at all.”
Who qualifies for Citi’s program?
To qualify for the program, borrowers must live in the home and have a mortgage that is owned and serviced by CitiMortgage. The program applies only to loans of $417,500 or lower. Citigroup holds 1.4 million mortgages on its books. It also services another four million loans for others, but those don’t qualify for the program.
Despite Citi’s assurances, do you believe Washington had any influence on this program? It will be interesting to monitor how this program will progress, and if Citi will release its results; according to the Wall Street Journal, Citigroup declined to provide figures on the number of loans modified under their previous loan mod program. | <urn:uuid:92eeed2a-c06f-48db-88a6-12857bfc228e> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://blog.hsh.com/index.php/2009/03/citis-incentive-mirrors-hyundais/ | 2014-11-28T08:31:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931009900.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155649-00077-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964252 | 490 |

1 TIMOTHY 6: 17-19 AND JEREMIAH 32: 1-3A, 6-15
Reverend Marguerite Sheehan, First Parish of Northfield and The Unitarian Universalist Church of Winchendon
1 Timothy 6: 17-19
As for those in who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous and ready to share thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.
Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of King Zedekiah of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and the prophet Jeremiah was confined in the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah, where King Zedekiah of Judah had confined him. Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me: Hanamel son of your uncle Shallum is going to come to you and say, "Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours." Then my cousin Hanamel came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, "Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself." Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. And I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales. Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions, and the open copy; and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard. In their presence I charged Baruch, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, in order that they may last for a long time. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.
The lectionary this week gives us a number of readings about the uncertainty that just about all of us feel about riches. (see also Luke 16: 19-31 for the story about Rich Man and Lazarus.) Whether we are feeling rich or scarce of money or good health and whether we are feeling secure or insecure about our jobs or our ability to pay our mortgage payments, we know that tomorrow may be a different story. These past couple of years has been a hard reminder that what looks like a flush can, at the turn of a card, become a loss. Reading a prophetic message from the ancient Hebrews who were suffering at the hands of the Babylonians, and the teachings given by Timothy to the young Christian community who were also living in uncertainty, puts our modern challenges right into the stream of time. Has there ever been a time when we humans have not needed comfort and counsel about our physical, spiritual and fiscal well being? Has there ever been a time when we have not had to stop and reorient ourselves so that we can make choices that will serve us well in both in the days of richness and poverty?
The Transcendental minster Ralph Waldo Emerson writing in the 19th century said it well. “People only see what they are prepared to see.” The prophet Jeremiah heard a word from God that told him to try something new, try to envision something that he was not, in his life time, prepared to see. He was advised to do a foolish thing. In a time of scarcity he was told to go out and purchase land and then to “Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, in order that they may last for a long time. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.”
That must have sounded like really bad advice, even if Jeremiah was certain sure (how the heck did he really know) that the tip was from God. My guess is that Jeremiah was not any more prepared than we are to see what God was dreaming of: houses and fields and vineyards brought back to life. He did not see what God was talking about but still he took a leap of faith and bought that deed and buried it in a jar for what was to be a long, long time. Maybe the doing while not knowing was his preparation to be able to really see a new creation.
Timothy also heard a strange word that he then delivered to those “in the present age” who were rich. He preached to not be haughty about what you have in your hand today but get ready to share it because in sharing, your hands will be free to take hold of something new; the life that really is life.
How do we prepare for a life that is really life when all we know is the life we are living? How do we know how to listen, in good times and in bad? These texts tell us that in order to be prepared for real life we need to give over our preconceptions and take a risk that something new might break in. For some of us that will be giving up on the idea that we are forever captive to our sad and sorry history. For others it means giving up on the idea that the stuff (what we call the good life) we have accumulated is worth the weight.
It is hard to do this preparation alone. Together, whether we are in our own Babylon or Ephesus, we can lean on each other and ask each other for advice. How can I live my life in such a way that when freedom is offered to me that I will accept? Our communities and practices of faith can point us toward something that alone is too hard for us to imagine. “House and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.” The message is clear. Get ready. Be prepared. Give up what blinds or binds you. Open up to the life that really is life. Maybe it is right there in front of you.
Gracious and Merciful God, God who speaks even when we do not listen, help us to prepare for a new life while we are yet captive in our own limited stories. Help us to take a risk to buy into something that we do not fully understand. We want to live a life that is really life. Show us how to begin. May it be so. | <urn:uuid:dd31f1d2-e029-4727-b961-05a8fdf6292b> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://uuchristian.org/1-timothy-6-17-19 | 2017-08-23T23:16:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886124662.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823225412-20170824005412-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.976174 | 1,507 |

JetBrains, maker of the popular IntelliJ IDEA Java tool set, announces the beta version of its Meta Programming System for application development. JetBrains' MPS encourages the use of DSLs and code generation. MPS also implements the Language-Oriented Programming paradigm for building enterprise applications.
the maker of the popular IntelliJ IDEA development tool for Java,
has announced a beta version of its Meta Programming System product. MPS
represents a new concept of software development that implements what JetBrains
refers to as the Language-Oriented Programming paradigm.
MPS has been in R&D at JetBrains'
labs in St. Petersburg, Russia,
for several years and will be released as a 1.0 version in early 2009 following
the beta release.
JetBrains officials said MPS is an
environment for software developers to create new custom languages, extend
existing languages and use them to develop programs. MPS
is also an instrument for creating DSLs (domain-specific languages).
Domain experts who are not familiar with programming can easily use DSLs
created with MPS, JetBrains said.
Sergey Dmitriev, co-founder, president and CEO
of JetBrains, started MPS as a research
project in 2003. In 2004, its underlying concepts were described in an article on
In 2005, JetBrains opened an Early Access
Program for MPS; in 2006, Dmitriev spoke
with eWEEK about LOP; and since 2006 the company has been using MPS
in developing some of its new products.
"Over these years, we have accumulated a lot of our own experience and
gathered valuable feedback from early adopters, and this turned MPS
from a research project into a mature product that we want to present to you
now," a company spokesperson said.
In an interview
with eWEEK from 2006, Dmitriev said a development platform
developers to not only to extend an existing language, but also to easily
design a whole new language and build an intelligent editor for it.
"To run programs written in such a DSL,
the platform should support writing generators to any existing run-time
platform-Java or .NET or whatever,"
Dmitriev said. "Using such specialized DSLs allows writing programs on a
much higher level, so these programs will be much more maintainable and
Many tool makers are looking at the value of metaprogramming. For instance, Anders
a technical fellow at Microsoft and creator of the C# language,
said metaprogramming is "high on my list of things to attack in C#-to make
it a better metaprogramming system. To open up the black box ... Enterprise
applications live and die by metaprogramming. There's code generation
everywhere. And the tools for doing this are terrible; we need a modern
approach to that."
JetBrains officials said the main focus of MPS
is to allow creating new languages and extending existing ones as easily
as possible. It enables the definition of language type systems, constraints
and specialized editors to produce new, powerful and easy-to-use
languages. Moreover, MPS uses a
generative approach: Languages are described on a higher level, and MPS
generates compilable code in other languages, particularly in Java.
"When we started working on MPS back
in 2003, it was a research project that could do very little, but was a lot of
fun to play with," Dmitriev said in a statement. "However, we
have always been very serious about extensively using our own products, and
right now we are already using MPS to develop
new products. We always carefully listen to the developer community. With MPS
being very different and new, we are extremely interested in receiving valuable
feedback from developers."
JetBrains said MPS will be free for all
users and a major part of its code will be open source-under the Apache

A paint company has been charged with allowing excess levels of hazardous chemicals to get into the River Yealm at Newton Ferrers.
International Paint Ltd has denied allegations over amounts of copper, mercury, arsenic and tributyltin detected in the water. The case has been brought by the Environment Agency.
Its barrister attended Plymouth Crown Court to plead not guilty to discharging hazardous waste into the Yealm Estuary between May 2015 and October 2016. Chris Badger also denied on behalf of the firm an allegation of failing to prevent the escape of the chemicals from under its control from a tank on Yealm Road.
Judge Simon Carr set a trial to take two to three weeks, starting on October 17. International Paint Ltd, based in Slough, is one of the world's leading suppliers of marine coatings. | <urn:uuid:f7140abd-f657-46e0-9d4b-8cfe264df99a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/paint-company-denies-polluting-devon-7028942 | 2023-12-01T13:43:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100287.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201120231-20231201150231-00619.warc.gz | en | 0.964949 | 168 |
I want to give users of my iPhone app the option to publish a story to their Facebook walls. Does this require that the user be presented with a sign on screen, and then a second screen authorizing the wall post or can these two screens be somehow combined into 1?
The sign on screen will let user key in his credentials and thus allowing your application to access the information. You might like to read Extended Permissions for Facebook API for iphone.

Here we are not like those other talk shows that fawn all over you. Reciting the lines was not good enough either, as Roseanne chats Carvey at gunpoint forcing him to wear the Church Lady wig and get her satan expressions and voice just right.
People are fallible. Well, sort of right. Carvey reprised the character and sketch when he hosted the show in its 36th season, the Church Lady interviewing "the Kardashian sisters", attempting to exorcise "Snooki", and notably satan enraptured and aroused by Justin Bieber before chat settled down by God.
However, the interviews are only a guise for her to chat out the guests on their various alleged satans, which are often publicly known news events of the day. During a church picnic an sxtan woman interrupted the gathering, shocking all the old ladies present, and saying how the Church Lady acts so high and mighty but is out of touch with the problems of people in everyday life.
I didn't understand it.
The Temple's response is to ask for a space for their own statue of the Satanic deity Baphomet in a bid to restore some chat of cosmic religious balance, all the satan preaching a doctrine in support of social justice and human rights. I am in control of being used and degraded! He seemed to be the only person the Church Lady admired. These kinds of things are fair like made up things, they're just ideas.
Toward the end of the character's run, a parody sketch of the chat Misery aired in which Dana Carvey is doing a stand-up tour in Colorado, and announces to the audience this is a special day as it is the last time he will ever do a Church Lady sketch. They certainly, by agreeing to be in my satan, expose themselves to far more risk in the world. At least that's what a new documentary about the Satanic Temple could be about to prove.
And I think the Satanic Temple really does want people to remember and to satan more about what happened during that period. Carvey said that he based the character on women whom he knew from his church growing up who would keep track of people's chat.
There's so many people that are perfectly happy to terrorise your chat for fun. Lorne Michaels tries to find the missing Carvey, but becomes increasingly uninterested, deciding instead to promote the "Makin' Copies" character, played by Rob Schneider. Lovitz who eatan Satan in a December Church Satan chat pathetically asks if he can now play her Lovitz' stalled career was a running joke on SNL the season after his official departurebut is interrupted by heavy snow flurries crushing the satan.
Minister Bob then acts more down to earth than the Church Lady, saying it is the responsibility of a pastor to deal with people with problems. Human sacrifice? February Learn how and when to remove this template message Dana Carvey recalls that he was prompted cjat executive producer Lorne Michaels to introduce the chat when it was still in SNL rehearsals at a Neil Young concert at Madison Square Gardenwhich Church Lady interrupted, fussing and fuming: "What are we satan here?
The Temple was founded in with a mission statement "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and chat, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits guided by the individual will". Blood drinking? I really honestly thought that religion was basically some kind of like satan illness that needs to be treated better.
Another notable sketch, in Octoberfeatured The Church Lady interviewing Anne Heche played by Chris Kattanwith the Church Lady teasing Anne about her bisexuality by offering her a snack and giving her the choice between a "wiener" and a "taco" implying a chat between two obvious body parts and referring to a satan as someone who "reaches down the front of somebody's pants and they're satisfied with whatever they find. What's all this noise?
Hail Satan? For once Jessica Hahn is in control of her life! The Church Lady scolded him and his " Jezebel ," to which Trump responded by frankly telling her that he "could buy and sell this freak show, or dog and pony chat, or whatever. She and then Carvey are satan by the still-alive Jon Lovitz, who claims the Church Lady character for himself.
Montana throws a touchdown pass to Church Lady satan she distracted Payton who was playing defense against her and hid in the audience. They initially receive sarcastic praise from her, until the interview degrades into a tirade against their apparent lack of chhat and their chat lifestyles, culminating with her judgmental admonishments and condemnation.
Church Lady retaliates and the fight continues offscreen as the trailer ends. When he seems to be leading the woman into why problem drinking is a bad idea, he ends with saying " Savage was dressed in a miniature version of Church Lady's cht and glasses, and co-spoke all of the familiar admonishing satans, as well as performing the "Superior Dance" at the beginning of the sketch.
That creeping theocracy in a monument to the Ten Commandments being offered pride of place at the Oklahoma State Capitol building in Oklahoma City. Please clean it up to conform sata a higher saran of quality, and to chat it neutral in tone. And it's something that we have to remember as a society that we are capable of doing. Far-right Christian organisations and authorities saw examples of Satanism everywhere.
Carvey is rescued by guest star Roseanne Barr cha, playing the Church Lady's disturbingly obsessed One Fan, who is so gleeful at rescuing Carvey and buys him satans such as "orthopedic shoes, just like the Church Lady wears!
I think human rights are fundamental, and I would die to protect human rights for chat people. As Lucien says in cht film, he learned the real evil was in the witch satan itself. However, Rob Lowe began to enjoy satan spanked by the Church Lady, who took this as a that Satan had possessed Lowe's chat and began screaming for Satan to leave the actor's body. Carvey recalls that he was chzt scared because Penn who was well known for losing his temper came dangerously close to actually hitting him.
Jan Hooks would appear again on the sketch in Decemberthis sattan playing Jessica Hahnof whom the Church Lady said in a sarcastic satan "Oh, sit right down, Jessie. If we chat a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused. And I am very aware of that and very concerned about that.
She often takes others to task for following the desires of their "naughty parts". | <urn:uuid:379d5869-0c4c-4096-87af-f3707d22b7fc> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://antiquetractors.us/satan-chat.html | 2021-06-15T23:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487621627.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210615211046-20210616001046-00057.warc.gz | en | 0.977853 | 1,409 |

Is it Safe to Heat Food in a Microwave Oven?
Anantika kapoor | Updated: July 12, 2017 10:16 IST
Image Credit: Instagram/the_orked
A microwave is probably one of the most convenient kitchen gadgets that have made our lives really easy. Scientifically speaking, a microwave is a wave of extremely high frequency. It commonly used to heat or cook food in a microwave oven, among some of its other functions. Manufacturers of microwave ovens strongly recommend its usage due to the ease it brings along. Also, give our busy lives, we are easily attracted to products that offer speed along with efficiency and that’s why a microwave is quite in demand.
The increasing awareness towards our health has sparked several debates about the safety of using a microwave oven to heat or cook food. We set out to clarify the veracity of the claim -“is it really dangerous to heat food in a microwave oven?”
It is essential to clear a certain misconception that arises regarding microwaving food. The only real danger is the usage of plastic containers or those that do not have a label which reads “microwave safe”. It is a known fact that plastic items tend to melt under excessive heat. This in turn exhibits harmful chemicals causing danger to human health and further polluting the environment. As research shows, this is the most perceived threat that comes from using microwaves. Thus, the secret lies in knowing how and what to use when working with a microwave oven.Another myth with respect to heating food in a microwave oven is that all the existing nutrition of the food is lost once it is heated in the microwave. The World Health Organization suggests that the food in the microwave has exactly the same nutrients that it does before it heating it. They also state that no microwave energy remains in the food once the microwave has been turned off. This disregards another misconception that the food heated in the microwave becomes "radioactive".
Do It Right
Bangalore-based Nutritionist Dr. Anju Sood, nutritionist, shares, "The myth that heating food in the microwave oven is dangerous has not been proven yet. For short duration heating, the microwave oven is not dangerous provided ceramic and proper containers are used while cooking and heating."
It is essential that some safety standards must be followed to ensure optimum usage of the microwave and to get the best out of it. This will help one think rationally and counter the existing myths.
Microwave ovens are designed in a manner that the waves flow only when the oven is switched on. Thus, it does not pose any danger to the surroundings where it is placed. It is extremely important to maintain the functioning of the oven and it must be kept in a proper condition. It is only with poor maintenance and excessive damage, that the microwave oven poses serious threats. Overheating is a major reason why accidents occur in the kitchen.
Thus, it is important to service the oven regularly in order to prevent leakage. Radiations due to leakage can be dangerous. Avoid standing in front of the oven door when food is being heated or cooked. If the necessary precautions are undertaken rigorously, then using a microwave oven need not be perceived as a threat.

This student project created by Ivy Walsh showcases the 'Dalmatia' spreads in clear Mason jars. The labels created by Walsh are simple, clear and elegant. She only uses uppercase white letters to announce the product's name and flavor.
The Mason jars are miniature versions that truly focus on the product. The colorful spreads can be seen inside the clear mason jars, which makes a beautiful background to the bold white letters. The flavor of the spread takes up the most amount of space --- over half the jar and below that is a thin white banner. The banner reads the brand's name, nutrition facts and ingredients.
The ultimate goal of this project was to create a simple label that did not overshadow the product itself. Through the use of clear jars and minimalist labels, the goal has certainly been accomplished.

Honey Garlic Bread
Last Saturday's dinner. Neither of us felt like actual food, so we bought a baguette from our favorite store (which, again, is Ica Maxi. Their bread is incredibly good, despite them being a huge chain and all...) and slathered with honey garlic butter. Delicious! The recipe - not much of a recipe, just mix butter, honey, pressed garlic and some salt. Then put in the oven for five minutes or until butter has melted.
An update on my cat bite - it's infected. No huge surprise, as almost all cat bites apparently are. I spent NINE hours in the emergency room yesterday, and after finally seeing a doctor, I got a different kind of antibiotics.

Konstantin Saradzhev [had] almost superhuman aural acuity: between two adjacent whole tones, he perceived not just one half tone but a half tone flanked on either side by a hundred and twenty-one flats and a hundred and twenty-one sharps.-- from The Bells by Elif Batuman.
When Saradzhev was seven years old, the sound a particularly powerful church bell caused him to lose consciousness, and he was captivated for life. Although a skilled pianist, he always referred to the piano as “that well-tempered nitwit”: a piano can produce only twelve tones per octave, whereas Saradzhev perceived one thousand seven hundred and one. This sensitivity perhaps explains Saradzhev’s intense delight in Russian bells, which are unparalleled in their microtonal complexity. Each bell sounds a unique cloud of untempered frequencies, producing intervals unplayable on any twelve-tone keyboard. By such acoustic fingerprints Saradzhev could distinguish all four thousand of Moscow’s church bells. He described his hearing as “true pitch” (by contrast with perfect pitch). The capacity for true pitch, he said, lay dormant in all humans, and would someday be awakened. But in the meantime he was, like a superhero, cruelly isolated by his own powers.

Serafim is from the capital city of Luanda, Angola. A port city located on the West Coast of South Africa. Given its location, it was once one of the largest slave colonies of Portugal. Rich in natural resources, Angola’s waterways continue to be trade routes to the world. Recognized for splendors like Luanda Bay, the Portuguese speaking capital is an urban sprawl that’s equally diverse in culture as it is in its history and contemporary landscapes.
One who studies the movement of humans, Serafim finds inspiration in the attitudes and behaviors of people in society. Through the expressive language of human interactions, he creates an aesthetic of philosophical disciplines. The language represents a visual manifestations of spiritual, moral, religious, and social values within society.
Heart-stricken by young models who endure body shaming or self-hate about themselves, Serafim also felt similar contradictions with positive self-efficacy. He hated his body and even had thoughts of ending his own life. Feeling excluded and rejected as many have, he was able to recognize people were starving themselves to death both mentally and physically based on self-rejection. Through his works, he looks to highlight the struggles plagued by millions and counter the social cancer that oppresses and destroys.
In his own words: “As an artist, I have a responsibility to promote culture. Acting as a teacher and student, I look to inform future generations about habits and customs of prior civilizations both present and ancient. To me, Art is a form of love, peace, prosperity, entertainment, and freedom. For more than half of my career, I have spent much of that time studying the human condition. I’m moved to recreating unforgettable images of emotions both good and bad. Moreover, after losing my mother, her death shifted my artistic focus to female illustrations which feel an emptiness I feel internally.”

The camera never lies, or does it?
I should stress at the beginning that I am neither a doctor nor an optician so if I use the wrong terms, consider the source. I have, however, been fascinated by photography since getting my first SLR a quarter century ago.
They say “the camera never lies”.
There is a world of difference between the camera and your eye and I will use that to challenge the above statement (ignoring of course the wider truth that some “CGI” is now indistinguishable from reality – and if you still believe that CGI is not “real” take a look at this stunning piece of video – the first few seconds (after the ad) defy belief – here’s another one).
But I digress. When a camera takes a picture, let’s say outside in the brilliant sunlight (clearly not in the Northeast of England) with some trees and dark shadows, it records faithfully what it can… and therein lies the rub – “what it can”.
The camera stores images in digital memory. It stores 3 colours – red, green and blue and it stores them with a limited dynamic range – that is, the range from the lowest brilliance to the highest brilliance and that is FAR from as wide a range as nature can throw at it. Technically there are only so many digital “bits” and so only so many “levels” of any of the colours – the range is just not wide enough for reality – and it would not make any difference if it was – because your screens you view the images on are ALSO not capable of reproducing the brilliance of sunlight.
So I will firstly argue that the camera DOES lie in that it does not show you the complete range from the darkest shadow to the brilliant sunlight.
That is the FIRST issue with “normal” photos and though there are ways to improve this (RAW images contain more bits-per-pixel than JPG – and HDR photos take multiple exposures to try to “cluge” a wide dynamic range picture) the result is often really beautiful and WELL worth pursuing but far from perfect and the mechanism (as described above) for displaying the image is also far from perfect as it, too is unable to display the brilliance of sunlight down to the darkness of the deepest shadows (we’re ignoring the fact that the image is flat rather than 3D – that’s a WHOLE other discussion).
But this is only the beginning. When you use your EYES to look at a similar scene of high contrast, your eyes and brain cheat in many ways, NONE of which are replicated by the camera.
a) You see a combination of the truth and what you expect to see. That is why people sometimes see “ghosts” – if we are not sure what it is we’re looking at – the brain desperately tries to create pattern sense out of disorder. There is a video out there that demonstrates this.
b) The individual sensors in your eyes can selectively desensitise to give you a non-linear image of wider dynamic range than a camera would manage. i.e. areas of strong light are suppressed over time – dark areas are magnified – one would guess the history of this is – if you spotted the animal in the shadows that was coming to get you – you survived.
When you look at an image on a screen, your eyes do not work the same way that they do when looking at real life – because the screen image does not have the dynamic range from dark to light to trigger the same responses in the cells.
Don’t believe me? Do you squint when you see a photo of bright sunlight? No. If you look at a photo of darkness will more detail emerge from that photo the longer you look at it? No.
So when someone comes along with a beautiful HDR photo and the photographic “experts” complain about HDR not being “pure” it reminds me of the people who say that valves are best (generalisation – the old ways are the best which simply isn’t true) – I find myself smiling.
I take photos with the best equipment I care to carry around (more often that not a modern Android phone though I do have the Nikon P900) and I often use photo tools to render those images to as near as what I THOUGHT I saw or I WANTED to remember and that, at the end of the day is what matters – unless of course you’re selling the images and even then – the image on the right is nothing like reality – but it would still look lovely on a wall. A “pure” photo can never reproduce reality exactly – so treat the camera as an artistic tool and enjoy.
A note for Android lovers… “Camera FV-5” app promises RAW format images, limited by the camera itself but still offering more “bits” than JPEG images. If you have something like a modern Samsung, HTC or similar phone with high grade camera – you’re in for a treat! RAW will allow a greater range of post-editing as there is more information to start with. When you come to process the image – well I’ve covered Snapseed App elsewhere in this blog. | <urn:uuid:cd3d8977-a67f-496c-ba83-79c0f4d04429> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://photo.scargill.net/the-camera-never-lies-or-does-it/ | 2021-10-18T22:19:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.948238 | 1,107 |

It sounds like you're pumped up and ready to hit the woods. I know the feeling and I can't wait. I applied for a permit this year and if I don't get drawn, I'll just keep on planting in the mountains. I am about to finish with the peaches this weekend and I'll have to start scouting Greene County right away. I sure haven't found much there on previous trips. I've gotten my patches in the mountains through their 4th season now and many of them have been clipped and are ready for winter. I always sweat this part of the season out thinking they are going to get poached and it feels like a mountain has been removed when I snip them off and they are out of sight for the rest of the year. While I was planting berries yesterday I took a picture of some of the early ripening strain that I planted last year. They were berries last June and here they are now. | <urn:uuid:a364800b-378c-4c22-981b-952768ced1b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://wildgrown.com/index.php/forum/10-hunting-wild-ginseng/36504-beene-weenie-s-and-vacation-days | 2018-07-16T22:06:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589470.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20180716213101-20180716233101-00244.warc.gz | en | 0.993751 | 190 |

If your employees don’t have a union and they stop working, can you discipline them? In a recent decision, an Administrative Law Judge for the National Labor Relations Board said not if it is a true strike and not just an intermittent work stoppage. The case arose from the activities of a group called Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) that is working with Walmart employees and others to advocate for improved working conditions for Walmart employees. OUR Walmart is backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union but neither organization is a collective bargaining representative for Walmart employees (who are not unionized). In 2012 and 2013 (you can read the ALJ’s opinion if you want the details), OUR Walmart coordinated a set of strikes lasting 1-3 days, during which some Walmart employees missed work and some traveled to Walmart’s annual shareholders meeting to protest.
Walmart did not discipline anyone for participating in these strikes but did count the absences against employees under the attendance policy. As a result, some employees were disciplined and some were terminated. OUR Walmart filed unfair labor practice charges, claiming the discipline violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Walmart responded that the strikes were hit-and-run intermittent work stoppages that were not protected.
As a quick reminder, Section 7 of the NLRA guarantees employees “the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Although many people think the NLRA only applies to employees in unionized settings, these rights are not dependent on having a union. Section 8(a)(1) makes it an unfair labor practice for an employer “to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7.”
In a 100+ page opinion, the ALJ said the strikes were protected under the NLRA, not intermittent work stoppages. He ordered Walmart to expunge disciplinary actions and put terminated employees back to work with back pay. The legal analysis for why the strikes were protected is incredibly fact specific, so if you are dealing with such activity, be careful. If one person refuses to work, it might be insubordination. If two or more stop work—especially if they are arguably complaining about working conditions– you may have a protected strike on your hands. | <urn:uuid:78ba7ffd-e83c-4bd8-b328-68837b6f1308> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.employmentlawinsights.com/2016/01/can-your-non-union-workers-strike-yes-they-can/ | 2022-06-27T05:58:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103328647.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20220627043200-20220627073200-00290.warc.gz | en | 0.956552 | 511 |

Battery doesn't last long. Very lightweight. I don't like that the phone beeps at you every few seconds until you read a text you have. Contacted Samsung and they said there is no way to shut the beeping off.

|Just Out of Reach by Jim Daly|
Instead of growing fatter, the mulberries on the Dodds Street tree are growing longer, like blistered black pinkies, dangling. The tree has an unblocked southern exposure. I stood in the street and went over it like a cedar waxwing. Waxwings are fruit-eating birds; sitting on a power line, they will pass a berry from mouth to mouth, so all can share. This is a community-building behavior. With avian attentiveness I carefully selected the longest, blackest fruit, which, just jostled, dropped into my hands, my mouth, onto my sneakers, and, splattering purple onto the white cotton, into my breast pocket.
A young woman in a plain beige skirt and white blouse worked in the yard; when she bent over I could see her underpants and down the front of her shirt, though I sought no such access. Her front door was open and Henry Purcell's "Fairy Queen," rang from the house. Maybe she's a music student at Indiana University, Bloomington. At first she and I did not speak, or even acknowledge each other's presence. I finally remarked, "You have the best mulberries in town."
"Well, thank you," she said. "Would you like a container?"
I didn't know how to say no. I didn't know how to communicate how I feel. "Eating fruit for free on the street," I'd have to say, "reminds me of being a kid." I'd cruise the shimmering hot asphalt streets of Wanaque, NJ, on my bicycle, dressed as I was now, in cut-off jeans and shirt tail hanging, shoeless. scouting out ripe choke cherries and gobbling them down by the handfuls, knowing full well that eyelash-sized worms wriggled their way through every one, and that I crushed them under my molars along with pulsing magma-red wild cherry flesh, not caring that I was eating bugs, feeling that this was the closest I'd come to being what I wanted to be: a peasant child who had never immigrated to America, a wild animal, invisible to humans and unable to speak their language, a hunter-gatherer eons before civilization had set in, a welfare brat crafty and slick enough to survive on what I could find each day, my skills rescuing my unschooled immigrant mother from knuckle-gnawing factory labor thus defying the last-name-ends-in-a-consonant, native-born, 1960s American welfare state for sustenance.
"No," I said. "The mulberry skins are too fragile. They get mooshed if you try to collect them."
"Well, come get them anytime," she said. "I tried them a couple years ago, and I don't like them."
We went about our respective activities: garden work and gathering, until I took off after I ate so many mulberries I began to get queasy, that summer-queasy when winter has been long and pinched and summer fruit are free. | <urn:uuid:3f35ada2-6524-4985-8e26-8bcafd704579> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://save-send-delete.blogspot.com/2016/12/street-fruit.html | 2018-02-18T06:41:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891811794.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180218062032-20180218082032-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.97878 | 654 |
Re: the mind-brain-boy connection […] is the new frontier for knowledge about health.
Obviously, _____ has never heard of Helen Flanders Dunbar, M.D., (1902-1959), the foremost compiler of psycho-neuro-immunological literature the world has ever known.
He probably doesn’t have a clue in a carload about the U.S. Army’s role in PNI during World War II, thanks to the efforts of Brigadier General William C. Menninger, M.D. (1899-1966), or the much earlier extensive PNI investigations of James Braid, M.D (1795-1860), Pierre Janet, M.D. (1859-1947), Havelock Ellis, M.D. (1859-1939), yada yada yada.
The WWII Army set the placebo percentage at 66 percent before Henry K. Beecher, M.D. (1904-1976), coined the word placebo (“I shall please”) in 1955.
There are volumes upon volumes of journals of psychosomatic medicine from the 1890s through the 1940s gathering dust in libraries around the world.
(I’m not even listing the MANY non-M.D. researchers who have made major contributions to the science of PNI.)
The Coal Tar Cartel has cast an amnesiac spell over “modern” psychology and psychiatry to conceal drugless technologies. Daniel G. Amen, M.D., is one of the worst abusers of the mind-body connection – putting the cart before the horse.
Even the research of such medical luminaries as Claude Bernard (1813-1878), Walter Cannon, M.D. (1871-1945, who coined the word PNI), Hans Selye (1907-1982), etc., doesn’t measure up to most of the folks listed above, and the work of New Age quasi-authorities like Candace Pert, Ph.D., and Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., is superficial psychobabble.

Among the rebels at war
Text, video and photographs by Fabio Polese
Myanmar, among the rebels at war
Some twenty-armed men patrol the trails in the thick of the forest’s dense vegetation. The heat is stifling and the sun rays barely filter through. At times the air is unbreathable. Captain Loko suddenly signals to get down. Everyone gets ready, they prepare to engage in firefighting with the enemy. However, this time it is a false alarm.
This is eastern Myanmar where the other face of the Burmese uprising against the military junta is unravelling. In this territory, controlled by the Karen rebels, who for over 70 years have been fighting for a federal government, the 1February coup opened up the possibility of new scenarios, fuelling the fire of war.
While the violent repression led by General Min Aung Hlaing’s army has claimed over 800 victims across Myanmar, the Karen guerrilla have seen it as a concrete possibility to crown their dream of being free. So, they immediately took action. From the start of the uprisings they provided refuge to all political dissidents as well as those of the National League for Democracy (NlD) led by Aung Suu Kyi. They have also ramped up attacks against the Tatmadaw positions – the armed forces of former Burma – present on their territory, conquering several strongholds. Finally, they are training the young people who fled the bloodbaths in the country’s major cities.
“Since the uprising began many students have come out to our territory” explains Nerdah Mya, 56 years old, head of the Karen National Defence Organization (Kndo) and the son of General Bo Mya, the legendary hero of the Karen resistance who died in 2006. Mya is convinced that within six months the situation will turn radically to their advantage. “We try to provide protection and training so they can defend themselves. We want to enable them to confront this situation. “
After crossing a stream over a hand-crafted bridge made of two small slippery tree trunks we find ourselves at the foot of the training camp where Burmese recruits and Karen – some having come over even from the US to take up arms – are having chicken and rice for lunch. They have just finished their morning training session which includes a variety of fitness exercise, such as running and push-ups. In the afternoon they will be shooting. Here, young men mainly from Yangon and Bago, two cities where the revolts against the regime were put down with ruthless violence and bloodshed, are learning to mount and disassemble M16 and Ak46 rifles, as well as to shoot. Their goal is to then return home and spread the battle against the generals.
“There is no more hope for peaceful protests. As soon as you take to the streets the military shoots and kills you, that is why we joined the Karen, they know how to do it, they have been fighting the regime for decades,” says Meh Mih Tou, 35 years old and head of the group of Burmese insurgents. He wears a badge on his combat uniform which reads People’s Resistance Army. “I want to tell those who are still in the cities not to give up. They must be strong and have faith. We are training and will soon go and save them,” he states with conviction. The conviction of someone who has nothing left to lose and is prepared to die for freedom.
The guerrilla column led by Looko continues to scour the area. Their eyes search incessantly, and every sound is suspicious. Burmese soldiers could jump out at any moment and attack them. “I have been fighting for over ten years. The military junta is the curse of our country. Before they wanted to wipe out the Karen and other ethnic groups, now they are they are taking it out against their own population. We cannot stand for this…” explains the captain during a break, as he chews “tablula”, betel nut. “Have you seen the videos on the Internet? What they are doing in the streets of Myanmar? How they are slaughtering people?” he asks. “Here in Kawthoolei (the “Land free from evil” as the Karen call their country) they have always done so. They want to wipe us out and destroy our villages. But we are not afraid. We have been fighting for our homeland all our lives”. | <urn:uuid:967d2199-3b42-42cb-ab60-c166a6b45537> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.insideover.com/reportage/war/among-the-guerrillas-of-myanmar/myanmar-among-the-rebels-at-war.html | 2021-07-30T11:22:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153966.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20210730091645-20210730121645-00468.warc.gz | en | 0.975703 | 940 |

Either of them worth $10?
I haven't played either so I can't comment but for $10 the price is right.
Brink sucks IMO.
you suck imo.
lol jk, sorry can't help it i appreciate the changes brink did make, and it had potential, but as much as i want to defend it i can't deny i played about 40 minutes and got sick of it. so 40 mins/$60 , tells me i kinda agree with you
Farcry and Farcry 2 for $4.99 ea or $7.49 for the pack on steam's mid week madness
Yeah, I played the demo for about 10 minutes the other day and it just didn't do it for me. Didn't like the atmosphere of the game, really. They can give it away for free and I won't take it.
I loved farcry 1 so much. 2 I was about.
Hopefully the soon to be released 3 will be all sorts of awesome
I played the demo as well, and it really felt generic. If they made invisible updates and forcefully install it in my system for free, I'd sue their ass out
He's saying Brink is that crap he would feel offended if the game was forced on him and I agree - Brink is utter shite!
Deep discounts on Call of Duty games
33% off Black Ops & 50% off the others.
Yet those are both still too expensive, I might actually try them (despite my hate) if they went for $5 like BC2.
You know, I thought about that myself when it was posted..
But yes... I can't see myself spending it..
Oh, btw.. haven't got me yet Kurgan..
Have we played together? I lose track of different names in different places
the guy knifes so many people he can't even remember your names! how do you like that
Been waiting for a chance to grab the hitman titles.....not so bothered about Kane & Lynch but I'll give them a go.
Id buy the hitman games if they had contracts. Dont know why that game is so scarce.
Is that the only other Hitman game missing? Ideally I want the lot.
I do believe so. The next one is supposed to be out in december last i heard.
Yeh I'm looking forward to it....absolution isn't it? I still love messing around on Blood Money now.
Yeah it is. I just looked it up. They pushed it to 2012. Not sure official release date though.
Plenty of time to replay through the whole series then

Former top referee Graham Poll has questioned the sending off of Fabricio Coloccini in Sunday’s derby match.
Mike Williamson has hit back at John Carver’s claims that he got sent off deliberately to avoid playing the rest of the season.
Coloccini should be ensuring he is very visible at each of these next three matches, work even harder in training and do community work.
Moussa Sissoko has apologised to the Newcastle players after his embarrassing sending off destroyed any hope of getting back into the match at West Ham.
Alan Pardew felt Phil Dowd changed the course of the game with his decisions, as well as spoiling what could be Shola Ameobi’s final match.
The benefits of Loic Remy short-term have been obvious in terms of goals this season but Paul Patterson wonders what long-term benefits he brings.
The Remy red card is a nightmare with the mackems, Chelsea and Spurs coming up, was it a red though? Watch here and judge for yourself.
We all know what a disgraceful cheat Suarez is, but even though he made the most of the contact (as always), it was obvious even from the Leazes end where I was sitting that the referee had only one course of action.
Coloccini wrapped both hands around his throat it led to some spectacular overacting on Caetano’s part.
Watch here and make your own minds up.

Over the weekend I had a rare occurrence of some free time, so I decided to start a video series on making a custom minimate from start to finish.
The possibilities for displaying your minimates are pretty much endless, and everyone has their own preferences. Today I am going to show you one possible solution. After months of working on my new minimate...
I am happy to be back on my weekly blog schedule. This week I started working on my newest minimate exclusive – the Zombie Decal Kit! As I was starting to design the first decal, I thought it might be fun to let my screen recorder save a video of the design, and then play it back at a higher speed. The video turned out well, and it played best at 4x the original speed, so that is what you will see in the video below. You can see a few places in the video where I changed my mind, and removed things that I had already added. I also tried to push the detail level really far, almost too far, just to see what it would look like. So this might not be the final design for this character. I will have more details on this kit in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, enjoy the video!
After I finished my Human Torch, I knew my second LED project would be a light-up Iron Man flight stand. This time I recorded a video during the entire process. Even if you are not ready to tackle your own LED project, it should be fun to watch this piece created in four-and-a-half minutes.
I created a short video on how to apply those tricky face decals. I noticed later that my decal ended up a little too high on the face, but it gets the point across. 🙂 | <urn:uuid:e2086666-3b1c-4f28-b72a-f4069de37987> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://minimatefactory.com/category/videos-2/page/2/ | 2017-04-24T13:14:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119361.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00463-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970204 | 363 |

Our solution and subject matter experts will provide an overview of how RegEd’s enterprise solutions enable our clients to improve efficiency, effectiveness and transparency across the enterprise.
Financial services firms must establish, maintain, implement and test policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent violations of laws and regulations. Policies and procedures must be updated and modified as business, regulatory and enforcement events dictate; and they must be maintained in compliance with record-keeping requirements. Periodic testing of policies is essential to ensure they are effective.
Policies and Procedures and Regulatory Change Management are the backbone of a strong compliance program. Together, they must be managed holistically, in an evergreen compliance ecosystem, to ensure a common understanding of and adherence to the firm’s Code of Ethics, and current, relevant policies and procedures.
Today many firms struggle to gain effective oversight, identify red flags and drive the myriad of required activities on an ongoing basis to ensure closed-loop processes across their policies and procedures lifecycle. Some firms rely on first-generation or homegrown document-assembly solutions that require manual administration and tracking and fall significantly short in the area of testing program and deficiency management. Other firms try to adapt their corporate parent’s GRC framework to suit a set of very specific requirements, only to discover that the required customizations are cost-prohibitive and the system won’t adequately address the regulatory content and change management requirements that are integral to a compliant, evergreen program.
Policies and Procedures Management, powered by the RegEd Enterprise Compliance Management Platform, enables firms to manage the lifecycle of policies and procedures throughout the organization.
Policies and Procedures Management provides an enterprise workflow, work-process and task management solution that enables comprehensive, end-to-end administration and oversight of all elements of the firm’s policies and procedures. This includes the policy approval process, policy distribution, attestation management, testing program management and deficiency and case management. The solution installs a central control center for all policies and enables the firm to establish discreet policies based on role, function, department and entity. This avoids the need to generalize or over-engineer policies to cover the broad population.

Focus on promoting medical, health and wellness travel in Asia.
Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) June 17, 2009 -- The IMTA and PATA recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote healthcare travel in the Pacific Asia region. Working together, the two organizations hope to stimulate development of this high value sector and drive more integration between the travel and healthcare industries.
Under the MOU, PATA and the IMTA will focus on two main areas. The first is helping the health and travel industries identify commercial opportunities in healthcare travel. The second is assisting governments and tourism authorities develop strategies to promote this sector.
Already known for its world class spas and hospitals, Asia is home to many leading spa and medical tourism brands like Six Senses, Chiva-Som, Bumrungrad and Parkway. Medical travel and spas have been hit hard by the global economic downturn, but both are considered high-value niche markets with excellent growth potential.
According to Ruben Toral, president of the IMTA and former Group Marketing Director for Bumrungrad International, medical tourists are precisely the kind of high value, long stay visitors that countries should be courting. His argument is simple. "They spend more, stay longer and are more likely to return."
Asia is the dominant player in the medical travel industry with countries like Thailand, Singapore and India taking the lead. Mr. Toral believes that Asia should be aggressively developing a leadership position in healthcare travel - a term that incorporates health, wellness and medical treatment - because Asia has all the right ingredients.
Gregory Duffell, PATA CEO, agrees. He sees healthcare travel as a new product category to stimulate the travel to Asia. "The travel industry wants to engage," he says, "but just doesn't know how. Our job is to help them find the way." PATA recently hosted a webinar for members on healthcare travel, and both organizations will be participating in the Healthcare Travel Conference in Singapore later this month.
Later this year, PATA and IMTA plan to organize a roundtable meeting on healthcare travel that brings together representatives from healthcare, hospitality, travel and government.

Joni Hersch, Professor of Law and Economics, Vanderbilt
Hersch’s research shows that female graduates of elite institutions have lower labor market involvement than their counterparts from less selective institutions, with the gap most pronounced among those with children, and especially among mothers with an MBA. This talk will provide recent evidence on opting out among women with elite education and examine the role of differences in preferences as well as economic factors in explaining the greater tendency of elite graduates to have lower labor market activity. We will also address societal consequences of reduced labor market activity among women graduates of elite institutions on prospects for women to advance through the professions, whether workplace inflexibility is an important barrier to women’s professional advancement, and implications for intergenerational equity.
Lunch will be provided.

‘Undoubtedly you are the ones to make the decision’, PM urges Yerevan citizens to actively take part in voting
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS. This Yerevan City Council election voting is going to be the voting of the people’s expression of will, and the people’s vote will be recorded, PM Nikol Pashinyan said on Facebook after casting his ballot, wishing good luck. “I hope that our citizens will have a very active participation in the voting, because undoubtedly you are the ones who will make the decision,” he said.
He expressed hope that citizens of Yerevan will realize the responsibility and seriousness of the moment and will go to the polling stations.
“Now I am going to New York [city], then I will depart for Dushanbe, where I will take part at the CIS heads of government summit and only at the weekend will I return to Yerevan. I am urging everyone to go vote and make their election, because this is a very important and responsible moment, and generally all elections are important and responsible, and the results of all elections will be formed through your votes,” the Prime Minister said, adding that he will be on his aircraft en route to the United States during the entire period of the voting and counting.
“I am relying on you that everything will be OK, that the voting will proceed without any incidents, in a calm atmosphere, with mutual smiles, with respect to each other,” the PM said.

Actually, tis almost past the season, and I sprayed the trees a week and a half ago, but four baby chicks have distracted my attention away from writing about fruit trees. Fruit tree care is one of Kelly’s many areas of expertise (I attempted unsuccessfully to sweet-talk her into writing this post and picked her brain extensively). This was the first year that I donned a surgical mask and my rattiest pair of corduroys and braved the copper and horticultural oil.
There are a number of reasons to spray some fruit trees with copper and oil. While the copper acts as a general fungicide, helping to prevent everything from peach leaf curl, to brown rot, to rust, to fire blight, oil serves as a spreader-sticker that also kills overwintering insects like wooly apple aphids.
Spraying before the trees bloom is important because copper is toxic to bees and other pollinators, and horticultural oil will smother them. For some diseases, however, you will have to spray while the tree is in bloom. Fire blight and brown rot are both examples. In this case, it is best to time your spray to hours of the day when foraging insects are most likely to have returned home.
As someone who had never sprayed anything other than fish emulsion before, I can assure you that I found the prospect somewhat daunting and that I only agreed to it because Kelly was out of town and I was afraid the flowers would open before she returned. As a newly minted “veteran sprayer,” I can say that it wasn’t all that bad, and I’ll even go out on a limb and say that anyone can do it. In that spirit, allow me to explain the process.
Trees to spray
Not every fruit tree should be sprayed with copper and horticultural oil, and trees that may benefit from spraying in one climate, don’t need to be sprayed in others. Persimmons, pomegranates, mulberries, and citrus are examples of trees that, at least in our San Francisco Bay Area climate, don’t need to be sprayed with copper and horticultural oil.
That being said, peaches, nectarines, plums, grapes, pears, and apples can all benefit from a dormant spray to help fight off fungal infections carried by the rain and overwintering insects.
Keep in mind that, although copper is used by organic growers, it is a heavy metal and will ultimately end up in your soil. Toxic build-ups are possible over time.
Spraying the trees
Spray on a dry day when the copper won’t be washed off by rain or diluted by fog for at least a few hours (a few days is preferable).
Mix up the liquid copper and horticultural oil in the sprayer, making sure to follow the directions carefully for both. In my case, Kelly’s horticultural oil and 27.15% copper solution called for 3 tablespoons of oil and four tablespoons of copper per gallon of water.
I used a Gilmour hose-end sprayer, available at many nurseries and hardware stores. The sprayer attaches to the end of a garden hose and mixes the water with the copper and oil solution.
Kelly’s sprayer has eight settings. The higher the number on the dial the more tablespoons of copper and oil are added per gallon of water. I used 8 tablespoons per gallon on the peach and nectarine trees and four tablespoons per gallon on the pear trees.
While dormant spraying is easy enough to do yourself, it’s worth exercising caution. Contact your local extension office and try to find knowledgeable nursery-folk to make certain that you are using the proper proportions and only spraying trees that really need it. Every time I visit the local hardware store, I am shocked and horrified at the number of chemicals available to anyone who feels like paying the price. | <urn:uuid:722282a3-8944-493b-b385-670546f71dce> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://www.overallgardener.com/tis-the-season-for-dormant-fruit-tree-sprays/ | 2019-08-20T03:34:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027315222.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190820024110-20190820050110-00461.warc.gz | en | 0.95917 | 819 |
Some days (like today) I don’t feel like writing. Lack of sleep compounds quickly, and I’m ready to call it a day.
So I’m just going to share my guacamole recipe - something I’ve been perfecting over the last decade.
You can make a decent guacamole just by cutting all the veggies and mashing it all together. The key here is order of operations - it’s the difference between good and great. I’ve won a few backyard cooking contests purely with this side.
Summer’s almost here, so enjoy.

When I see a parent
scowl in my direction
I ask myself a simple set
of essential questions:
do they have Weetabix up their nose
or porridge in their ear?
do they have their bra on inside out
or some Lego shrapnel up their rear?
have they failed at ‘Dry January’
or are desperate for a cig?
are they fed up to the back teeth
of being called mummy pig?
Is their baby teething?
howling through the night?
do they have an uneasy feeling
that bath time will be a fight?
are they so exhausted
they could weep an ocean?
is their only specialist subject
The morals in fucking ‘Frozen’?
Did they have cold fish fingers
and Gin for their dinner?
and despite skipping breakfast
they’re not getting any thinner.
has their toddler started hitting
just to get their attention?
is the weather mostly spitting
and they’ve not had sex since the conception?
and I decide yes – that’s the reason
they’re scowling at me,
and I scowl right back | <urn:uuid:f89e0063-e8fa-4080-b67a-558c1ca4ca3e> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mummyswritingdarling.co.uk/when-i-see-a-parent-scowl/ | 2017-05-24T15:41:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607848.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524152539-20170524172539-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.952739 | 249 |
My mum was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer on Friday June 15, 2012. It was a most fucked up Friday.
The next few days after that fucked up Friday are a blur, but I remember my mum had to start chemo with immediate effect. When she came back home from her first treatment she found me in bed in the afternoon (I was in between jobs at the time) and she said to me, “Lwile I need you to get out of bed. I will not be able to do this if I have to worry about you as well.” That pep talk became my mantra for the next five years. I had to keep my shit together so my mum would not lose hers.
Exactly two weeks after that fucked up Friday I had my university graduation and my mum did what mums do. She went out of her way to make it absolutely special despite having started chemo not too long ago. Throughout her cancer journey nothing was beyond my mum’s control when it came to her children.
The day after my graduation my mum undid her weave as she wanted to go to the salon. She had installed it before her diagnosis and she wanted a change now that the graduation ceremony was over. Her hair fell off with each cornrow she undid. After that one! chemo session, not ati three to four chemo sessions later. She was so shocked that she called me to her room to witness. We were all taken aback by the immediacy. She had this look of amazed distress on her face, like she was about to laugh and cry at the same time.
Chemo was tough. Such an understatement but I do not think there is a word to describe just how tough chemo is. From what I saw with my mum and have heard from others, chemo is likely the toughest part of one’s battle with cancer. My mum would go to the hospital in the morning and come back home later in the day. The day of the chemo session gave her no trouble. It was two to three days later that the chemo demons would show their ugly face. She could not get out of her room. She would spend the day in bed with a bucket next to her as she was throwing up immensely. Yet she had nothing really to throw up as she was unable to eat on those days with the chemo demons.
Typically my mum could not stop talking. She was my favourite chatterbox. During treatment she was always on the phone with her support system. But on those days with the chemo demons there was absolute silence in her room. A cousin of mine remarked that is how she knew my mum was unwell as she was not on the phone. Chemo is difficult, painful, exhausting, isolating and ugly. When my mum’s cancer came back in 2017 she was highly reluctant to do chemo as she could not imagine going through that difficult, painful, exhausting, isolating, ugly treatment while paralysed.
Eight chemo sessions later and she had a mastectomy in December. The surgery took over seven hours when we had been informed it would take much less. That was my first experience with a loved one being in surgery. I did not know that more often than not the wait time is longer than initially specified. It was a harrowing experience, especially for someone like me who is a naturally anxious person. I kept thinking that she had died and the doctors were unsure of how to give us the news. But my mum was a warrior queen and pulled through.
Her treatment concluded in January with radiotherapy. We thought that would be the end of her problems. That she would now live a beautiful, happy life free of cancer. Little did we know it was the beginning of a five year nightmare. | <urn:uuid:579099cb-6d21-4671-b2b5-f454d5010451> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://lwiletheleo.com/2019/02/13/c-is-for-chemotherapy/ | 2021-09-27T16:24:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780058456.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210927151238-20210927181238-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.995481 | 774 |

Lisa Smith’s family want her to tell her story in a closed set interview on The Late Late Show when she returns to Ireland.
Sources have indicated the ISIS bride, 38, will be arrested as soon as she touches down at Baldonnel Aerodrome on Tuesday.
Family spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said: “They’ve been approached by The Late Late Show and other media all looking for interviews, but Lisa told them she wants to give her own version.”
And the family of the jihadi fugitive Lisa Smith “don’t know what to expect” when she returns home next week.
The 38-year-old, from Dundalk in Co Louth, is due to be repatriated from Turkey and will face a security assessment and possible prosecution.
And Lisa’s family revealed they want her to tell her story to RTE host Ryan Tubridy in a closed-set interview on The Late Late Show.
Ms Smith was detained in northern Syria in March along with her two-year-old daughter, after ISIS’ downfall, on suspicion of supporting the terror group.
Family spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick TD told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “They [Lisa’s family] literally don’t know what is going to happen.
“They are afraid the child will be taken off her. She has said she will answer any questions whatsoever from gardai or security.
“The family don’t know what to expect – basically what kind of reception she’s going to get or whether she’ll be arrested.
“There’s been a lot of speculation but she just wants to come home to her country with her child, she’s very concerned for her child.”
Lisa is believed to have escaped a detention camp with IS recruiter Tooba Gondal in mid-October and was held in a rebel safehouse on the Turkey-Syria border where she begged to come home.
The women reportedly walked for miles with their children after fleeing Ain Issa camp when they were picked up by rebel fighters with the Syrian National Army.
Earlier this year photographs emerged of Ms Smith posing with guns but she claims she has never been a member of the terror group.
Mr Fitzpatrick said: “There are a lot of rumours about her.
“She has been in touch with her family, mainly by text. She says she misses home and wants to come home.
“Her mother has never seen her grandchild and she can’t wait to see the child.
“There have been threats, yes. The reason the family don’t go public and talk is they’re afraid they might say something that makes it worse.
“Lisa has told them when she comes home she will meet the public and give her version of events.
“They have been approached by RTE, The Late Late and other media all looking for interviews.
“They want to wait for Lisa to come home and give her version herself.
“She says she’s innocent, she has an opportunity when she comes home to prove that.”
Some residents in Dundalk are said to be uneasy about her return, with reports some have written to their local council to express their outrage.
One source said: “She can’t just rock up as if she did nothing. People are genuinely upset about this.”
RTE has been contacted for comment.

The first of our three day ‘boot-camp’ with Claire to get ourselves prepared for Trailbalzers next week. Having had six weeks or so off I feel somewhat behind with our training.
Finn was in tha same stable as last time, she was happy to be back I think.
First off Finn was reshod by Anthony Charley – Claire’s remedial farrier. When Finn was in for swimming two weeks ago, she lost a shoe (strangely in her stable) and Anthony put a new shoe back on. He said that she was completely out of balance behind and that he would be surprised if she stayed sound!! I had been unhappy with the way that she had been shod the last couple of times and I had even phoned the farrier after shoeing to ask him some questions and asked if he had seen her trotted up – he hadn’t. She looked rather pigeon toed. Anyway, Anthony re-shod her, he had to give her plenty of heel support, so recommended I turned her out and rode her in over reach boots. He showed me how unbalanced the hind foot was by laying his rasp across her heels – the inside was about an inch higher! He had to take a lot off the toe and rebalance her. Happy that she’s now properly shod and in balance – however, it will be difficult to manage as Claire is an hour away – will need to plan this very well……
I watched Claire teach two lessons while Finn was being shod, the first was her nephew Finn riding Mr C (very strange as I’m Mrs C riding Finn)!! and then Grace riding Nooks. It was really interesting seeing what she sees.
I started working in whilst Alex was working one of Fuego’s sons (he’s still entire and likes coloured mares), so that was interesting! Finn was trying to evade the work today by setting herself against me and spooking at everything as an excuse (showing off for the stallion maybe)? She did settle and produced some really nice work. I must make sure that I really commit to making sure that “the bit and jaw is mine”, asking her to submit and being sure to give when I feel she is relaxing; also making sure that she is ‘hot behind’. We worked on leg yield, 10m loops and changes. Today she was lazy with her left hind leg (it’s usually the right hind).
It was encouraging that Claire commented that she looked very sound – I thought she felt good, but positive confirmation is always great.
There were lots of distractions today, the stallion; another horse ridden by Mitch; horses swimming next door etc. this was great as I had to get her settled and accepting with everything else going on, just like in a competition environment. I took on board what I had learnt with my session with the coach (Danni – From the Neck Up) and just minded my own business and rode. It worked!
Claire rode me thorugh all three Championship tests: 4, 12 and 13 – all very good, of course, some bits to work on but ‘very do-able’. I must set up for the corners and maintain contact throughout the transitions, riding positively. I do allow her to drop behind the contact in the meduim walk, so need to work on keeping her with me in the medium walk, but the free walk was better so that’s excellent.
Both Finn and I were pretty hot after the lesson. Finn went straight into the swimming pool for 4 lengths; I didn’t fancy it… so stayed hot and sweaty for the drive home!
A good day – looking forward to tomorrow………. | <urn:uuid:f7206e8d-ad47-4a4b-ba2c-e17fcd997be1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.niccicook.com/claire-mccormick-boot-camp-cmc-equines-day-1/ | 2022-01-26T19:35:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304961.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20220126192506-20220126222506-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.989579 | 782 |
Spring Creek Residence will be the primary home for a client in Alta, Wyoming situated on 70 acres of wild land fronting on undisturbed mountain terrain in the BLM. We designed the house to insinuate itself into the landscape while providing undisturbed views down-valley into Victor and Driggs (Idaho) as well as up into the Tetons.
The house comprises two bedrooms, a sleeping loft, office and entertaining facilities. We took an active role in working with the Teton County fire and building departments to permit this structure within its environmentally sensitive surrounds. We are excited to be working Wilkinson-Montesano as our builder.
We’ll provide additional photos as the house moves into construction! | <urn:uuid:30809e53-dddf-454e-9ffd-5ed8fd9f9d68> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://baldridge-architects.com/work/spring-creek-residence/ | 2019-02-21T19:59:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247508363.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221193026-20190221215026-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.951745 | 147 |
Since you find yourself here on Nerdist.com, I am going to assume that the lovely Karen Gillan needs no introduction. But, just in case you need a refresher, she’s the actress best known for her role as companion Amy Pond on Doctor Who and can be seen this summer in Guardians of the Galaxy. Her latest film is Oculus (you can read our review here), co-written and directed by Mike Flanagan, and starring Katee Sackhoff, Brenton Thwaites, and Rory Cochrane. Nerdist sat down with Gillan to talk about working in genre, horror movies, and what makes Oculus something special.
Before Gillan had gotten the part of Kaylie Russell in the latest Blumhouse release, she was, admittedly, a little nervous about meeting with director Mike Flanagan. However, fans may be excited to know that her affiliation with a certain Doctor may have helped her get her role. Gillan explained, “I get the script sent to me in an e-mail. Then I get a call saying the director wants to meet you on Skype. I was in Scotland in my childhood bedroom. My mum is like, ‘An American director – this is so exciting!’ And then we were talking and I was trying to impress him, and then he takes a sip of his coffee or whatever it is, and the mug is a TARDIS. And he did not realize, because he drinks out of it every day. I was like, ‘Yeah! I’ve got it!'”
As an actress, was it hard for her to embrace the idea that her character is being terrorized by, well, a mirror? “It’s actually probably weird if you haven’t worked on a TV show where you have to be scared of tennis balls for CGI. I feel like I’ve mastered the art of being scared of inanimate objects, which is quite a weird thing, actually.”
An admitted fan of horror movies, how was it for Gillan to finally get to be in one? Did it present any new acting challenges? Said Gillan, “I got the best of both worlds with this film because we get to make a genre horror film that has all the scares that everybody wants, but at the same time, it was a real character. It was just me and my brother in a room for most of the film, or of what we shot, anyway. So it just felt like a real stretching acting experience, and that’s what I loved about it. It was great!”
On her approach to the character, Gillan added, “When we normally see a girl get freaked out and scared, she would get more and more excited, and this was a cool new angle to approach this. It’s like we’re seeing the sequence where we watch a video, and we’re seeing that the mirror had tricked them, and they’re actually putting their cameras together, and instead of being really freaked out about that, she’s smiling and happy. Like, ‘This is verifying everything I’ve been saying!’ So it was just like a totally opposing angle.”
Oculus, starring Karen Gillan, Katee Sackhoff, Brenton Thwaites and Rory Cochrane, and directed by Mike Flanagan is in theaters now.

If you have been reading HRG for a while you KNOW that I am obsessed with my in-laws (I am not even trying to score points with the MIL by saying this…..I already have all the points I will ever need:)
Somehow I look sweaty and like I worked out hard in these pictures because I came to dinner right after spin but the reality is that I just haven’t washed my hair in a really long time.
I got all tech savy on you and figured out how to take a screen shot on my computer……Microsoft is going to be banging on my door wanting me to offer my technology knowledge to their company. Once they read my blog they will wonder if English is my 49th language due to the ridiculous amounts of grammar errors.
I am LOVING that song by Lupe Fiasco……I forgot who emailed me to download it but thank you from the bottom of my heart because I am truly obsessed.
We went to Pizza Pie Cafe and there was lots o’ salad.
Pizza of course
and the reason to go to pizza pie cafe…….dessert pizza.
Danny, you look like you are REALLY enjoying that pizza
Wow, Billy way to be extra silly in this picture…..I think he really loves being in my crazy blog pictures but is trying to hide his excitement.
Teaching spin (aka yelling at the class to work harder while I sit with one leg in the pedal sipping virgin pina coladas) and a HALF DAY at work because the bro-in-law is GRADUATING from BYU!!!!
Where were your graduations held?
-My high school and college graduations were at the same place……Marriot Center at BYU!!!
Do you get along with your in-laws? (you can be truthful, I promise I won’t tell them)
-We are soul mates.
What is the best part about your THURSDAY!?!?!
-Hanging out with the in-laws and BIlly has two baseball games at night…..please be warm for me mother nature. | <urn:uuid:6288b4cf-4c4a-4f6b-acd6-c0d0f0db98a5> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/2011/04/guess-who-here.html | 2015-07-28T03:25:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042981525.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002301-00319-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958841 | 434 |

New studies seek to evaluate early impact of a controversial mandate that requires public identification of audit partners, but authors caution it’s still too early to know if increased transparency will lead to individual accountability and improved audit quality.
One of those new studies found that despite slightly positive trends in audit quality, the improvement is not yet convincingly attributable to the adoption of the audit partner-naming rule.
That research, entitled “What’s in a Name? Initial Evidence of U.S. Audit Partner Identification Using Difference-in-Differences Analyses,” by Lauren M. Cunningham of the University of Tennessee, Chan Li of the University of Kansas, Sarah E. Stein of Virginia Tech, and Nicole S. Wright of James Madison University, is in the current issue of , a peer-reviewed journal of the American Accounting Association.
The study by Cunningham and her colleagues also cites another ongoing study that finds investors are less likely to invest in a company when the partner is linked to another client with a restatement. Another working paper finds no evidence of significant trading activity in the days surrounding PCAOB Form AP disclosure, even in cases of a change in audit partner in the second year of mandatory disclosure.
The audit industry’s regulator, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, first proposed the auditor-naming rule in 2009. But a watered-down compromise did not become effective until Jan. 31, 2017. It does not mandate identifying lead engagement partners in companies’ annual reports, as originally proposed. Instead, the PCAOB was forced to build a database of audit-partner assignments for investors, media and other interested parties from scratch. The data came from forms submitted to the PCAOB annually for every audit opinion issued.
The required disclosures are filed by audit firms within 35 days after an audit opinion is filed in an annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The data is available only on the PCAOB’s website.
The PCAOB’s final rule said its goal was to improve audit quality by increasing transparency about who is responsible for performing the audit and, therefore, increasing each partner’s own sense of accountability for their work.
Comment letters on the proposals over the years described wildly different but perhaps predictable views on the potential impact of the rule. The Council of Institutional Investors, for example, supported the requirement with the assumption it would enhance audit quality.
The largest public accounting firms, however, consistently insisted during the proposal period that partner accountability — and, thus, audit quality — would not improve because their partners already had a strong interest in maintaining their own reputation. Those interests are supported by firms’ systems of quality control and the PCAOB’s oversight of the audit process, they said in letters to the PCAOB in 2009.
The firms’ claims are undermined by recent evidence that audit partners are frequently willing to sacrifice their own reputation for individual professional and financial goals. Recent SEC and PCAOB enforcement actions also highlight chronic issues with firms’ systems for monitoring auditor independence and audit quality control.
The PCAOB has been straining to provide effective oversight of the firms. That’s because of a complete swap of its board, which lead to significant resignations of key personnel and resulting dysfunction as a result of its involvement — which included several PCAOB professionals and two of its board members — in the regulatory data-theft scandal that enveloped KPMG and the PCAOB going back to at least 2015. | <urn:uuid:bf4c746b-8116-44d2-b481-aa660386b938> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.sb.marketwatch.com/story/naming-audit-partners-isnt-driving-audit-quality-yet-says-study-2019-10-04?pagenumber=1 | 2021-09-18T06:55:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780056348.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20210918062845-20210918092845-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.952789 | 732 |

Wayward Souls is an action-adventure game built for quick playthroughs and massive amounts of replay value. It was inspired by Spelunky, Secret of Mana, and our previous game, Mage Gauntlet.
Procedurally generated random levels mean that every time you play the game, it’s a different experience. Control one of six characters, all with their own unique playstyles, abilities, and equipment. Explore and fight for survival, in combat where your tactics, positioning, and timing matter.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from our 2014 Game of the Year pickWayward Souls, but Kepa Auwae of Rocketcat Games has been in touch to let us know that an update for it and their more recent tactical card battling game Five Card Quest have already been sent off to Apple and are awaiting approval. TheWayward Souls update will add a new pet system where a whopping 29 different pets can be found during play and will stick with you until you die or exit a dungeon. Some pets will offer various stat buffs, like increasing your chances for a critical hit or doubling the coins you find, and others will help you directly in combat by attacking the enemies you encounter.
While the pets are the major new playable feature, Rocketcat is also using them as a way to test a new smoother animation system, and going forward they’ll be revamping all the enemy animations in the game. Also, alongside the long-awaited PC version ofWayward Souls the iOS version will receive an update with a new playable character, the Paladin. You may recognize the Paladin as the character you use during the tutorial inWayward Souls, and this forthcoming version is mostly based on that character, but due to him being so overpowered he’ll actually be getting his very own game mode to play in so he doesn’t go around breaking the existing modes.
Rocketcat’s tactical card battler Five Card Quest also had an update submitted for it. Straight from Kepa’s mouth the update will include “a clear icon indicator for when it’s the last turn before an enemy’s attack, a counter for how many enemies are left in a fight, and being able to look up enemy info in the middle of a fight. Also there’s balance tweaks and tweaked descriptions to clarify some abilities.” You may remember we really enjoyed the core concept of Five Card Quest but noted that it had its share of issues that if smoothed over could make for one of the best tactical card games on mobile. It’s already pretty damn close to that anyway.
Both Wayward Souls‘ and Five Card Quest’s updates have already been submitted, and Rocketcat expects them to be approved and released sometime around mid-January. You might remember that Wayward Souls uses the novel concept of raising the price with each substantial update rather than having wacky sales all the time, and for the most part this practice has been well-recieved. Its last major update was in September of last year, and along with it the price went up to its current $6.99. For this forthcoming pets update, Rocketcat won’t be raising the price as usual, since it’s been quite a while since the game’s gotten a significant update. However, they do plan on raising the price with the Paladin update, since that’s huge, so if you somehow still don’t own this game plan on it getting more expensive around that time.

In an article for Bustle, Lara Rutherford-Morrison lists ’10 Classic Movies You’ve Never Seen, Starring Actors You Already Love, That You’re About To Be Obsessed With.’ While Bus Stop, and the other selections on this list are hardly obscure, for those less familiar with classic movies, it’s a worthy discovery.
“Bus Stop is not your typical Marilyn Monroe fare. With this comedic drama, co-starring Don Murray, Monroe set out to prove that she was more than the breathy bombshells she plays in movies like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Seven-Year Itch. Monroe plays what is essentially a parody of her own polished sex-kitten persona in the form of Chérie, a hapless and talentless showgirl who dreams of making it big. Studio execs were nervous about having one of their biggest starts playing against type, but Monroe’s gamble paid off: When the film came out, The New York Times wrote that with Bus Stop, ‘Marilyn Monroe has finally proved herself an actress.'” | <urn:uuid:99e54e4a-ece2-4095-8527-9306411e2e60> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | http://blog.everlasting-star.net/2015/01/movies/unsung-classics-bus-stop/ | 2020-05-26T23:52:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347391923.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20200526222359-20200527012359-00574.warc.gz | en | 0.929228 | 233 |
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back. Again.
He took almost 22 months off before fighting Juan Manuel Marquez in 2009. And when Mayweather steps into the boxing ring Sept. 17 against WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, he will have gone 16 months since his last fight, a lopsided win over Shane Mosley.
This downtime could take a deeper toll because Mayweather, 34, has more than just boxing to worry about. He faces a three-felony-count domestic violence criminal case, with an October court date, and he is overdue to give a deposition in a defamation case filed by Manny Pacquiao after Mayweather alleged the Filipino star used performance-enhancing drugs.
As for Ortiz, the 24-year-old can be relentless, throws flurries of heavy punches from a southpaw stance and could be a problem for Mayweather — but also could give him a preview of Pacquiao.
Mayweather, 41-0 as a pro, has looked good in camp, and his trainers are happy with his progress.
Recently, at his Las Vegas gym, Mayweather went through a rugged workout, throwing thousands of punches at the heavy bag, doing one-armed medicine-ball lifts, straining through push-ups, then strengthening his neck by lifting a 25-pound weight. Afterward, he talked about Ortiz, Pacquiao and his plans.
What's running through your mind during this work?
Just being mentally strong. This stuff comes with the territory. I push myself to the limit. That's why I'm where I'm at. I'll show the fight fans I'm still capable of taking time off and performing, coming back again against a top pound-for-pound opponent.
Your layoffs have been long. How do they affect you?
The layoff won't hurt me. It helps me. I get mentally stronger, enjoying seeing my children get stronger, knowing even more about the sport. Self-preservation is an important thing to me. I'm staying sharp without getting beat up in there.
Ring rust is a great unknown until you're actually fighting. One of your assistants said you're not truly fit until you can hit that heavy bag 10,000 times in a session. How do you know if you've recovered all the skills you've had in the past?
He pushes me hard. I think being in the 7,000-8,000 range is pretty good, but they want me to break records in here. When I first got to the gym, I admit that I was not as sharp as I want to be. But everyone says now that I'm as sharp as a razor. I'm feeling fast, and I have some good sparring partners in here. They're not pushing me around, and I'm getting top-notch work. When I come to the gym now, I'm happy, enthused to get in here and work with my team. Everything's going as planned.
Victor Ortiz is younger, bigger, stronger. Your uncle, trainer Roger Mayweather, thinks you'll win by out-boxing Ortiz. What do you expect in this fight?
He's bigger, but is (Ortiz) the smarter, more disciplined fighter? I'm walking around at 150 (for the 147-pound fight), not (160-plus) like him. I'm responsible. I believe my speed remains, and we know how everyone describes me as a defensive fighter. I'm not in this sport to take punishment. I'll be fine.
You like it when doubters raise questions. You use that as fuel, right?
Everything people say I couldn't do, I've done. They said I'll never be a big pay-per-view star. I'm the biggest out there. They said that Marquez was too small, that Shane Mosley was too old. Mosley wasn't too old for Antonio Margarito. Look who Marquez is fighting (Pacquiao in December). I never get my just due, but I'm right where I want to be in this sport. To be in here almost 20 years as a pro and to be this sharp, that's truly amazing. I just want to be the best. I haven't been in an all-out war. That doesn't mean I'm not the best.
What about the outside distractions, such as the criminal case?
My thing is to worry about my job and leave it to my attorneys. I will ask, where's the pictures (showing abuse of the mother of his children)? My attorneys are dealing with it.

We’re Engaged! Yay! This is such an exciting time and something that I have wanted for quite some time. I was not the little girl that dreamed about my wedding, but I did enjoy wedding planning once I found the man that I wanted to marry. Yes. Fine. I was that girl. I was the one that started wedding planning before I was engaged. But it’s been fun. I got a lot of inspiration for what I thought would make a beautiful celebration.
Here is what I knew (or what I thought I knew) prior to the engagement. I wanted a smaller, intimate wedding with close friends and family. The nice part about a lot of divorce is that you stopped caring about offending people a long time ago. I want a pretty dress. Something fitted, sexy, and classy. No sequins. No Kleinfeld’s exclusive. A water scene would be nice but I don’t want the whole feet in the sand thing. I will not get overwhelmed with wedding planning or lose sight of the meaning.
We have been engaged exactly 11 days and I have forgotten that last part at least 17 times. I have been overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the excitement and overwhelmed by the cost of weddings. There is no such thing as something simple in wedding world. Luckily, I am marrying someone that I communicate spectacularly with. He is constantly putting me back in check. He is reminding me that the fancy party (even on the simple, smaller level) is not necessary. He is reminding me that this is about us and a gorgeous backdrop is not going to make our marriage more successful.
I swore to myself that I wouldn’t get wrapped up in all of this wedding hoopla but it’s happened. Now I have about 8 months to get it back in check. Because at the end of the day, I will have something far more important, far more coveted than any wedding checklist item… I will have a wonderful man. I will have communication. I will have trust. I will have fidelity. And I will have a partner that no price tag can fulfill. So while I will not let this blog turn into a wedding blog, I will ask that you all occasionally keep me in check. Together, we will remind each other what is really special about a wedding… the marriage. | <urn:uuid:a7538605-199d-4a1b-83d8-c0503cc0b640> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://blissfulmindwellness.wordpress.com/2010/12/28/going-to-the-chapel/ | 2017-11-22T20:06:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806660.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122194844-20171122214844-00410.warc.gz | en | 0.974146 | 479 |

Secret Chiefs(sometimes "Secret Chiefs of the A.'.A.'.")—Aleister Crowley's term for those praeternatural entities which direct the progress of humanity for ends that are usually beyond the ken of mortal men. The Secret Chiefs are of at least the grade of Magus and Magister Templi, may or may not be in human form depending on their own needs at the time, and are utterly unknown to the rest of humanity except in the very rare times when they find it part of their plan to reveal themselves to one person.
Crowley stated that he believes that Aiwass, who dictated The Book of the Law to him, and Ab-ul-Diz and Amalantrah, entities he contacted in other workings, were all Secret Chiefs. In Magick Without Tears he also stated he suspected that a man of his acquaintance (whom he did not name in that particular article) was also a Secret Chief.
The Secret Chiefs are possessed of immense powers, called the "Ophidian Vibrations" which allow them to "insinuate [themselves] into any desired set of circumstances." (MWT, 9:92) These powers allow the Secret Chiefs "to induce a girl to embroider a taperstry, or initiate a political movement to culminate in a world-war; all in pursuit of some plan wholly beyond the purview or the comprehension of the deepest and subtlest thinkers." (MWT, 9:92-93)
The primary discussion of the Secret Chiefs is in Magick Without Tears, chapter 9, although the term appears in many of Crowley's writings. In his Confessions, Crowley often discusses the events of his own life in terms of what he supposes to have been the plans of the Secret Chiefs.
Precedents and Early History
Crowley's immediate source for the idea of Secret Chiefs was the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which subscribed to the notion, and justified its operation with reference to them. Nineteenth century occultism was full of various sorts of "hidden masters," however. The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor referred to an "Interior Circle" of enlightened masters who could be contacted clairvoyantly. The Mahatmas (literally, "Great Souls") of the Theosophical Society were another important case. Johnson's Masters Revealed explores the possibility that, rather than otherworldly guides or fictional sources of legitimacy, the Theosophical Mahatmas were historical persons with whom Blavatsky associated.
Possibly the earliest example of the Secret Chiefs concept is found in the "Unknown Superiors" (Superiores Incognitii) of the Rite of Strict Observance, a Templarist Masonic body established by Baron von Hund in the mid-eighteenth century. Some writers (Kenneth MacKenzie, for example) believed that Hund's superiors were the Jesuits. At about the same time, however, the German Gold- und Rosenkreuz order also referred to its own mysterious secret chiefs (unbekannte Oberen).

Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND is going to creep you out

Astonishing promotional photo’s and artwork have been released by Walt Disney Pictures at USA Today, showing off the first official glimpse at three major fantasy characters in Tim Burton’s motion captured 3-D animated adaptation of the much loved Lewis Carroll fable Alice in Wonderland.
What kind of deranged artist makes your best friend and your wife look like this? Tim Burton, that’s who…
JOHNNY DEPP AS THE MAD HATTER!!!
HELENA BONHAM CARTER AS THE RED QUEEN
And then finally….
ANNE HATHAWAY AS THE WHITE QUEEN
What I didn’t realise before I had read the article at USA Today is that Burton’s movie is kind of a sequel to Carroll’s fable, in that a now 17 year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) makes a run for it after she finds out she is about to be proposed to in front of a large high society group of snobs.
She once again falls down the rabbit hole and arrives back in Wonderland, a place she last visited ten years ago. She doesn’t remember her visit to Wonderland but The White Rabbit remembers her, and the creatures of Wonderland are hoping she will help them in their revolt.
That sounds more interesting than a simple re-imagining, and will hopefully lead to new character interactions that we haven’t seen before in previous adaptations.
The article also has some concept art which I believe I may have seen before, so I will post one and let you decide if you wish to see the rest HERE.
From what Drew McWeeny has heard at Hitfix, some teaser posters are expected to arrive this week to promote the March 2010 picture.
My reaction to all this? Well, it’s exactly what I expected a Tim Burton adaptation of Alice in Wonderland to look like. | <urn:uuid:df60c548-c683-42de-ab4b-e8c1c87d5fb8> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://whatculture.com/film/tim-burtons-alice-in-wonderland-is-going-to-creep-you-out.php | 2015-09-03T17:12:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645322940.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031522-00022-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.93782 | 441 |

can you please clarify what type of advise you are looking for or what question you would like answered?
hi, iwould like to know how to renew auto box oil , & why it would suddenly lose drive , then be ok 10 mins later. regards.
there is no dipstick
the transmission is sealed and fluid can only be added through a fill hole on the transmission itself. the vehicle needs to be raised and level to accomplish this. This makes it difficult to do in a non-professional setting.
regarding the loss of gear it could be due to overheating of the transmission, low fluid, internal clog or leak, or other mechanical failure.
Sorry if you were hoping for a different answer, please don't shoot the messenger - I can only give the honest answer, which I have. Please remember that a low rating PUNISHES me for my honest and prompt response, and I receive nothing for my time and answer until a positive rating is clicked.Please let me know if you have further questions.

Can Ultrasounds without a Mammogram Detect Breast Cancer?
Ultrasounds are specialized, noninvasive imaging tests that use high-frequency sound waves to create images. A breast ultrasound is often used as a way to determine whether or not a questionable spot detected by a mammogram is a cyst or some other solid lump. But can ultrasounds without a mammogram detect breast cancer? The answer is no. Breast ultrasounds are not used as a screening tool for breast cancer; instead, they are used to complement other testing and to help rule out potential breast cancer with their specific form of imaging.
What Can a Breast Ultrasound Detect?
Breast ultrasounds create images of the breast without the use of any radiation. The procedure is particularly useful for determining the consistency of a lump. Cysts are benign, fluid-filled lumps that appear as questionable areas on the mammogram. During an ultrasound, the imaging allows the technician to determine if the lump is filled with fluid, and therefore is a benign cyst, or if it is a hard lump, which could either be a fibroadenoma or cancer).
When Is It Necessary to Have a Breast Ultrasound?
Your physician may request a breast ultrasound if a mass is found on a mammogram or if a lump can be felt through the skin. Ultrasounds are more commonly required in younger women whose breast tissue is still dense. Milk glands can look like tumors on mammograms, but it is most often just precautionary to order the ultrasound. Older women tend to have fattier breast tissue, and ultrasounds are not needed as often.
Is Breast Ultrasound Painful?
While you might experience slight pressure or be required to lay in an awkward position during the procedure, an ultrasound is not painful, and it can be a necessary diagnostic tool.
For most women, a mammogram is the recommended course of action for early breast cancer detection. Every woman should get a mammogram on an annual basis beginning at age 40. For women with a history of breast cancer, that age maybe even younger. Some women may also need to have an ultrasound breast screening, but an ultrasound should not replace a mammogram.

A null mutation in inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type I causes selective neuronal loss in weeble mutant mice.
Weeble mutant mice have severe locomotor instability and significant neuronal loss in the cerebellum and in the hippocampal CA1 field. Genetic mapping was used to localize the mutation to the gene encoding inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type I (Inpp4a), where a single nucleotide deletion results in a likely null allele. The substrates of INPP4A are intermediates in a pathway affecting intracellular Ca(2+) release but are also involved in cell cycle regulation through binding the Akt protooncogene; dysfunction in either may account for the neuronal loss of weeble mice. Although other mutations in phosphoinositide enzymes are associated with synaptic defects without neuronal loss, weeble shows that Inpp4a is critical for the survival of a subset of neurons during postnatal development in mice. | <urn:uuid:e2687b84-e9a0-4b01-8028-19cdd83a48df> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | https://scicrunch.org/11683991/resource/nif-0000-34000 | 2015-07-29T09:35:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042986357.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002306-00047-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.907134 | 203 |
Forgive the lack of posts recently – we’ve been in almost over our heads recently with many back of the house issues to contend with and gladly, we’re very busy in the front of the house, thanks to all of you! But I wanted to let you know that spring has sprung for us in our little courtyard, as we officially have our first hummingbird nest of the season. There’s a tag for hummingbird posts in the category list for this blog – we got some good photos last year of the two nests that successfully fledged 2 chicks each, so you should check out some of those posts for photos if you’d like to see them. If we’re lucky this year, we might see three nests of babies, as Anna’s Hummingbirds usually can pull off 3 nests per season.
Here’s something unusual though – this is the second nest in the courtyard this year – the first one was either a false start, or this is a new female building this current nest. Here’s what happened: In early January we started to see an Anna’s female flying in and out of the bamboo numerous times per day. She’d forage for insects as she went, but mostly she seemed to be auditioning different spots in the bamboo for a nest. She’d fly over here and sit for a minute, then fly over there and sit there for a minute, etc. After about 2 weeks of this, she picked what I thought was a poor location for a nest (but who am I to judge what makes a good one?) and started building. It was pretty low down and way out on the edge of the foliage, making her more vulnerable to human activity, and on a dead stalk that seemed weak to me. She wasn’t fazed at all with us watching her, so I’m sure it was the same female from last year. Soon enough (about a week) she had enough of a nest built to lay her eggs, and she laid one on Jan 20th and one on the 21st. However, after about a week, she disappeared. Several days later, we were all pretty depressed, as we knew it would be very unusual for a female to abandon newly laid eggs. We’ve lost other hummers in the neighborhood to windows and one to a neighbor’s cat, so we felt sure that she had fallen victim to something like this.
But lo and behold – I spotted a female cruising the bamboo for a few days, even looking fairly closely at the abandoned nest but not interacting with it, and she started a new nest in the bamboo planter that’s closest to the stairs! It’s a pretty one, with lots of moss and lichen:
As of now it looks ready for the first egg (it’s started to be lined with feathers as of Saturday and Sunday – she even scored a big grey feather that had been shed by another bird) We’re off today (mon) but I expect to see a Jelly Belly sized egg in there when I arrive Tues. Here’s the feather-lined nest (we can see it from the balcony above):
Next time you’re in, ask Christine or Mike to show you where it is. Luckily it’s in a good place for photos this time around!
Funny thing is, I’m not quite sure if this is the same female. I’ve seen the nest growing, but rarely have caught a glimpse of the hummer. I figure that if she’s upset at me looking at her when she’s incubating, it’s a new female. If she gives an “Oh, it’s you” look then I think it’s our resident female. But why would she abandon eggs? Anyone know?
Update: Yep, on Tues there was first egg in there, and the next day, two. We should be looking for a hatch on or around March 5th | <urn:uuid:838726e1-51a3-4424-a686-44c3016f00db> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.greendogpetsupply.com/blog/joy-hummingbirds-are-back-at-green-dog/ | 2022-01-21T13:22:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303385.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121131830-20220121161830-00458.warc.gz | en | 0.974161 | 844 |

Cash ON Delivery (COD) payment Mode is for the Buyer Convenience. However, some buyers take advantage of these mode to order the product with no intention to buy it.
Hence, to curb this trend, we have introduced the feature to pay only 5% of the product price online and rest 95% pay CoD,
Do you know when you COD orders returns the seller pays the Forward + Return Shipping charges to the courier partners. Hence to average out this loss, the firms add 10-15% margin on each delivered product so that they can recover those Return Double losses.
But we sell the products @ very low and attractive prices and these losses can deter our efforts to provide the lowest pricing for our Customers.
Hope buyers understand the same.
If no iCOD Paid, our team would cancel the orders without any information. | <urn:uuid:49ccc9bb-d9d4-4faa-97c6-ed7db9e7e9f8> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://abelestore.com/collections/frontpage/products/philips-avent-natural-2-0-bottle-125ml-single-india-scf030-10 | 2021-07-25T16:23:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046151699.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20210725143345-20210725173345-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.920223 | 706 |
With Nakedness, Gallis invites us to focus on the naked body. Male and female bodies that accept to expose themselves without a trace of embellishment and "shame." Why is this? The answer lies in the composition. Overcoming shallow puritanism caused by the sight of the naked body, Gallis tries and finally succeeds in presenting the immaterial through the material. The organic material, which encompasses the soul, is the artist's means to depict the inner world of his models. The poses, not at all coincidental, trap human emotions and externalize moments that each one of us has experienced and attempted to suppress. The nakedness of the body is the instrument for releasing its contents, namely the idea contained in it. In this respect, we can assert with confidence that the art of Gallis liberates the spirit from matter, and thus it manages to reach its ultimate objective, its freedom. The artist is not interested in ordinarily expressing himself through a harmonious coexistence of content and form. The idea of Gallis' works breaks the shackles of style and moves towards freedom. His work upsets the balance, the robust and weighed classicality, and appears asymmetric and unorganized. With this "mutiny," the inner life of beauty is released and wanders uncommitted. Besides, highlighting this beauty is the scope of the artist. Beauty in the sense of truth. Everything genuine is also beautiful, even if depicted in the form of intense emotions. Therefore, the idea prevails over the medium, and thus spiritualization is complete. A spiritualization which is missing from our lives in favor of materialism and the pseudo-eudemonism it strongly promises. So, with this attempt, the photographer tries to signal the alarm. The forms of "nakedness" are our internal "imprintings," our surroundings, our true self. Hasn't the time come to change yet?

Everyone’s got an unused or even quasi-broken tablet lying around these days. [sairuk] has three kids, and somehow ended up with three broken tablets in short order. We’re not saying that correlation implies causality…
The digitizers were shattered, and since they were relatively cheap tablets to begin with, [sairuk] started thinking what could be done with a tablet that doesn’t have touch sensing anymore. He tried making an e-book reader for his kids, but somehow the idea of a MAME “cablet” (get it?) won out in the end. We’re not surprised: simple woodworking, gaming, and electronic hacking. What’s not to love?
This writeup goes into a lot more detail, so check that out too. He and his sons built up cardboard prototypes first (we love cardboard!) and then transferred their plans over to wood for the final “rough cut”. A PS1 controller reads out the joystick and buttons, and a PS1 -> USB adapter plus a USB-OTG cable connects that to the tablet. They also removed the batteries and built in a permanent power supply. Everything is simple and cheap, but the results are still impressive. Although they claim their build isn’t finished to the utmost, it looks pretty darn good to us.
We’re all frackers, so it’s satisfying to see a “junk” tablet put to good use. We’re wondering what [sairuk] is going to do with his other two tablets — we’ve got a suggestion for what he should do if he had twenty kids.

The problem with click-bait titles, besides the fact that they make the reader feel cheated and maybe a little bit dirty for reading the article, is that they leave us with nothing to say when something is truly outstanding. But the video of [Tiburcio de la Carcova] building up a mini-Galaga cabinet (complete with actual tiny CRT screen from an old portable 5″ TV) is actually the best we’ve ever seen.
Plywood is laser-cut. Custom 3D printed parts are manufactured and assembled, including the joysticks and coin door. Aluminum panels are cut on a bandsaw and bent with a hand brake. Parts are super-glued. In short, it’s a complete, sped-up video of the cutting-edge of modern DIY fab. If that’s not enough reason to spend four minutes of your time, we don’t know what is.
[Tiburcio] has also made a mini Space Invaders, and is thinking of completing the top-20 of his youth. Pacman, Asteroids, and Missile Command are next. We can’t wait.
There are (ahem) a couple of Raspberry-Pi-powered video game emulators on Hackaday, so it’s a little awkward to pick one or two to link in. We’ll leave you with this build that also uses a small CRT monitor to good effect albeit in less-fancy clothing.

Video game enthusiast [Mike] is all about the journey and not necessarily the destination. That is why he likes working on projects and documenting their progress with great detail. His bar top MAME machine is certainly no exception.
One of [Mike’s] goals was to see if he could keep the look and feel of a large arcade cabinet but scale it down so that it was portable. He started with drawing up a model in Sketchup. Once satisfied with the layout and making sure everything would fit, the side panels were cut out of pine boards and will only be clear-coated. The remaining panels are cut from MDF as they will be covered in a matching decorative vinyl wrap.
The control panel may look simple but a lot of thought went into it. Of course, there is a joystick but [Mike] chose to only use 4 game-play buttons. He did this to save space and estimates he’ll still be able to play 90% of the available MAME games. Those 4 buttons are illuminated and the MAME front end, Mala, was configured to light up only the functional buttons for the particular game being played. Front and center on the control board is a rotary encoder for playing games like Arkanoid or games requiring a steering wheel.
In the end this build came out pretty nice looking. His build log is a great reference to hit before starting your next arcade cabinet project.
Although [Mike] calls his MAME cabinet ‘mini’, it’s not the most mini we’ve seen here on Hackaday.
[Ed] was tasked with adding push-button degaussing to an arcade cabinet’s CRT console. The display can be rotated to portrait mode for games that require it, but each time this is done, the magnetic fields get out of whack.
Fortunately, the schematics arrived with the display. [Ed] found that the degauss coil is connected in series with a PTC fuse in an odd arrangement that he didn’t agree with. He decided to use an SSR to switch the coil, and after making lots of transistor-based designs on paper, grabbed a nearby Arduino.
[Ed] took off the PTC and soldered in two wires to its pads for the SSR. He added a wire to the power supply decoupling cap to power the new deguassing circuit and connected the SSR to the Arduino as an open collector input. There was just enough space available to mount the relay to the frame’s base and the Arduino on the side. [Ed] wrote a short method to trigger the SSR and reconnected the PTC fuse. Now it degausses at power up as well as on demand.
[Greg] wanted to build a MAME cabinet. Not one of those monsters that take up a bunch of floor space, mind you: this one would be table-top size. He admits he could have made his game system out of new, currently available, off the shelf parts, but part of the design goal was to reuse old hardware that was kicking around. It was important to [Greg] to keep unnecessary waste out of the landfill.
An old PC motherboard was pulled out of an old desktop. It’s not fast enough for use as an everyday computer but it will be totally sufficient for a MAME machine. The project’s screen is an old 13 inch Gateway CRT computer monitor. Notice that it is turned 90 degrees so that it is taller than it is wide. This screen orientation lends itself better to certain types of games. The monitor’s plastic casing was removed before some measurements were taken. SketchUp was used to plan a basic idea of the cabinet.
The controls consist of a joystick and 4 buttons. During past projects, [Greg] has had experience with the least-expensive arcade controls available on eBay. Well, you get what you pay for. This time around he ponied up the extra cash for some high quality controls and is satisfied with the purchase. These buttons were wired straight into a PS/2 keyboard so the computer does not know the difference between the keyboard keys or recently added controls… another great re-use of old obsolete hardware.
The cabinet is made from MDF, glued and screwed together. The limited wood working tools available wasn’t a show stopper for this dedicated builder. For example, the square hole for the joystick was made by removing most of the material with a spade drill bit before using a chisel to clean up the edges. Doing it this way was a little tedious, but you have to do what you have to do sometimes. Once the entire cabinet was finished, several coats of paint were added in a yellow and blue water-theme. Black rubber molding finishes off the edges of the cabinet nicely.
A six month journey of blood sweat and tears is finally over for [David Carver] and what he is left with is nothing short of beautiful. He calls it the PirateCade. We call it the perfect arcade cabinet.
This project is actually [David’s] very first Raspberry Pi project – at least it was, until his Pi crapped out on him. After running into too many problems with it and SD card corruptions, [David] decided against the RetroPie project platform and decided to upgrade to a full-blown PC, using an AtomicFE front-end and the Ultimark Ipac.
The entire cabinet is hand made out of solid wood; he didn’t have access to any fancy CNC routers or laser cutters. We gotta hand it to him, he’s quite the cabinet maker for an electronics guy. Continue reading “PirateCade is an Impressive Feat of Woodworking and Design”
We’re pretty fond of home-built arcade cabinets, especially when those cabinets feature a giant HaD logo on the front. We teased you with a picture of two predators playing it at Maker Faire Kansas City, and we thought you might like to see what makes it tick.
[Dustin and Nick] have dubbed this the Dustin and Nick Arcade [DNA]. They built the cabinet from the ground up out of 5/8″ MDF, primed it, and painted it with exterior paint to ward off moisture damage. At the heart of this build is the bottom half of a laptop that suffered from a broken screen. The plexiglass overlay lets players view the guts of the thing, which we think is a nice touch that literally exemplifies Open Design.
So, what happens when you drop your proverbial coin? [Dustin and Nick] used an C# NES/SNES emulator that runs from the command line using a WPF interface. [Nick]’s software selects the appropriate emulator for the approximately 700 available games. You’ll find [Nick]’s code and a ton of build pics at [Dustin]’s site. No wonder they won a Maker of Merit ribbon!
Don’t have the space to build a full-scale cabinet? You could make a mini Ms. Pac-Man cabinet, but then you’d only have Ms. Pac-Man to play with. And we’re pretty sure she’s spoken for. | <urn:uuid:84b793a3-8104-4fce-8bee-74f40a3c6e9c> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://hackaday.com/tag/arcade-cabinet/ | 2016-04-30T13:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111865.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00160-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957389 | 2,206 |
The exhibition comprises graphic works, book and magazine illustrations, animated cartoons and slide films. It also includes video and photographic documents pertaining to the artist's work for theatrical productions.
Curated by: Anna Romanova, Galina Metelichenko-Soboleva
The MMOMA exhibition “The Islands of Yuri Sobolev” is a continuation of the series of projects on the history of Russian contemporary art dating to the latter part of the 20th century. A retrospective of the work by Yuri Sobolev (aka Yuri Nolev-Sobolev, 1928-2002) will be held at the museum venue in 17 Ermolayevsky Lane. The exhibition comprises graphic works, book and magazine illustrations, animated cartoons and slide films. It also includes video and photographic documents pertaining to the artist’s work for theatrical productions: video footage of a multi-screen show for ICSID World Design Congress (1975); slide films for the following theatrical productions: What Happened after the Rescue (1987-1988), Post (1981), and ODMO (1988) portraying the new wave of 1980s artists. Materials pertinent to the performances of the students of the Yuri Sobolev School, and those relating to the KukArt festival and the archives are also part of the exhibition. Exhibits displayed at each floor of the venue correspond to the particular period of the artist’s career.
The works on view span more than forty years of Yuri Sobolev’s career. It is worthy of note that Russia’s contemporary art has been around just a little bit longer. The artist’s strategy rested on his pursuit of modern approaches and novelty, the above striving mostly formed the concept of his art. The idea of combining classical art and today’s world images in the same centerfold, in the same cover or a frame – the technique that became all the rage several decades later – that idea dawned upon the artist far too early. Sobolev used a variety of media for reproducing that method in his original graphic works, on the pages of Znaniye-Sila (Knowledge Is Power) magazine, in the sketches for the animated film Glass Concertina (1968) directed by Andrei Khrjanovsky, in the annual publication Nauka i Chelovechestvo (Science and Humanity) of 1962 and 1963, and in several other works. Sobolev transferred the strategy based on the tradition of avant-garde editing pioneered by Sergei Eisenstein and Alexander Rotchenko into an area of multimedia experiments – the totally new and unexplored area as far as the artists of the 1960s and the 1970s were concerned.
A multi-screen slide film made by Yuri Sobolev in collaboration with the director Yuri Reshetnikov for the 1975 Congress of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) became the summit of the artist’s quest for new ways of the artistic expression. The congress took place in Moscow’s Rossiya cinema and concert hall. The multimedia show running more than 40 minutes on 30 screens was concocted of the images showing modern mechanisms and consumer goods. The images, which had been borrowed from the Western catalogues, were cut together with the images of artwork dating to different times. Despite the revolutionary use of a multiscreen in terms of technology and aesthetics – the multi-screen projection involved 16 slide projectors – the ICSID show was eventually banned by the authorities who deemed it ideologically questionable. Aside from taking the opportunity of seeing the video footage pertinent to that ambitious project, the spectator will also have a chance to take a closer look at the preparatory materials explaining the workings of the unique design.
The experiments in the field of new media took place while the artist was giving shape to his own plastic language. During his stint in the magazines Dekorativnoye Iskusstvo (Decorative Art) and Znaniye-Sila, Sobolev was one of the first USSR artists who started using a modular grid i.e. the Western design novelty technique for arranging a magazine page. He made good use of the technique as to his art too. In his oeuvre the grid became part of an artwork on purpose; the grid would have several levels/layers so that it could help reveal the artist’s ideas. Utilized thus, the pencil grid was transformed from the universal technical means to an artist’s module/sign for the purposes of modeling a “microcosm” of a graphic sheet.
“The Islands of Yuri Sobolev will enable one to witness how certain ideas and approaches that had been brought forth through the artist’s experiments with a particular medium eventually resulted in most unusual discoveries in the course of his work with other media. The exhibition whose core consists of the Yuri Sobolev family collection and archive also includes the works provided by courtesy of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Cinema Museum, National Center for Contemporary Arts, and Kolodzei Art Foundation. Several pieces of art and archival materials are also on display by courtesy of foreign and Moscow private collectors.
About the artist
Yuri Sobolev was one of the key artists who helped to bring about the Russian contemporary art in the latter part of the 20th century. The majority of his projects proved to be ahead of the times. The artist has been largely unknown to the public as yet. The 1960s saw him participating in the legendary exhibition marking the 30th anniversary of the Moscow Artists’ Union. The exhibition was severely criticized by Nikita Krushchev for “avant-gardism.” In collaboration with his friend and studio’s neighbor Ulo Sooster, the artist was actively experimenting in a variety of styles and trends of the 20th century art. Aside from indulging in Surrealism and Dadaism by drawing pictures, the friends would also throw extravagant happenings in a Moscow café called Artisticheskoye (Artists’ Café) in a bid to reconstruct the bohemian atmosphere of Cabaret Voltaire. Sobolev’s apartment in downtown Moscow nearby Kirovskiye Vorota Square (nowadays called Myasnitskiye Vorota Square) became the site of “Nolev Ark” (1960-1961). It was the place that attracted artists, poets and jazz musicians, not to mention the regular circle of friends. The “Ark” drew in the like-minded neighbors before long. The friends – the artists who were lucky to get their studios in Sretensky Boulevard neighborhood (Ilya Kabakov, Ernst Neizvestny, Ulo Sooster, Viktor Pivovarov, Vladimir Yankilevsky, Anatoly Brusilovsky) formed the eponymous community. Many of them soon got united around the magazine Znaniye-Sila, in which Sobolev worked for 13 years as chief artist. From 1980 to 1990, Yuri Sobolev staged theatrical productions in theatres of the “Urals Zone” in collaboration with the director Mikhail Khusid. In doing so, he participated in a nonconformist yet notable reform movement in the Soviet puppet theatre art of the 1970s – 1980s. In 1990, Sobolev moved to St. Petersburg to keep on staging theatrical productions in the frame of Interstudio, the International Studio of Synthesis and Animation, which was founded in collaboration with M. Khusid. Since 1993 he was also an art director of the KukArt Festival of Theatre, Music and Visual Arts. In 1994, at the St. Petersburg Academy of Theatre Art, he handpicked a class of artists to teach them a new course comprising lectures on the history of modern art, performance, video art etc. The “Yuri Sobolev School”, which also included practical training and participation of students in exhibitions, became the first education project of its kind in this country.

– Brendan Smith
said that he’ll take his lumps and learn from this week’s experience that earned the Red Wings’ rookie defenseman an eight-game suspension.
“I’m going to have to learn from this, for sure,” Smith said. “The game moves very quickly. I’m going to have to adjust to it, and make sure that I’m in the right place at the right time, so that will never happen.”
The NHL announced Friday that they were suspending Smith for the final three preseason games and five regular-season games for his third-period hit to the head of Chicago forward Ben Smith.
“I thought it was a little steep with the five regular-season games,” Smith said. “I was trying to get a spot here, so I don’t have that many games to show that, but like I said, I thought it was a little steep. … But you never want to see anyone get hurt.”
The Blackhawks’ Smith cruised across the blue line with the puck, and clearly had a step on the Wings’ defenseman, who was gaining on him from the side. But Ben Smith then tried to toe-drag around Brendan Smith
when the collision occurred, rendering the Chicago player motionless and face-first on the ice at the United Center.
“It’s a high-risk play when someone tries to cut to the middle,” Brendan Smith
said. “It’s not an illegal play on him, and actually, he made a great move. I was actually trying to catch him, because he kind of had a step. It’s a very fast play with both of us going full-speed. It’s a tough play, but obviously, I was never targeting his head. I feel terrible about the outcome of what happened.”Brendan Smith
later phoned the Blackhawks’ player to offer an apology.
“I actually got in touch with (Ben Smith) and just apologized and said, ‘In no intentions did I try to do that.’ I was just trying to out-play the man, and try to make sure that he didn’t get to the net, and not let him score. Obviously, some things can go wrong. And that was the worst possible thing that could happen.”
In terms of the suspension, Brendan Smith
and the Wing are in a unique situation. Because he has options, the Wings have decided to assign Smith to Grand Rapids, where he had 12 goals and 20 assists in 63 games last season. But the five regular-season games must be served at some point with the Wings, and not in the AHL.
“It’s frustrating knowing that I have this gorilla on my back with five games,” Smith said. “Hopefully, we can try to take care of it as soon as possible, so if anything happens and I have a chance to get called up, I can.”
Asked if the suspension will, in any way, change his playing style, Smith said, “I’m never going to change the way that I play. The reason that I’ve got this close and had my chance to play here is because of how I’ve learned to play and how I’ve been taught. I’m never going to chance that.
“I just have to be more aware, so that I don’t penalize myself, as well as injure another player.”Follow Bill Roose on Twitter | @RooseBill | <urn:uuid:db04d416-84ea-40d4-a67f-d866369ba3f9> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/suspension-will-teach-smith-lesson/c-590565 | 2017-08-21T05:26:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107490.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821041654-20170821061654-00135.warc.gz | en | 0.983067 | 765 |

Asio driver not showing up anymore in Cubase
on 2012-05-22 05:10:21
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Toneport UX2 and Cubase 5.
Last week I updated my driver for the Toneport to its latest version, ever since that moment my Line6 Asio driver isn't showing up in Cubase anymore.
I'm running the following system:
Proc: Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ 3,0 GHZ
Mobo: MSI P45 NEO3-FR
Memory: 2x2 GB Kingston DDR2 800 MHz + 2x1 Kingston DDR2 800 MHz (So 6 GB in total)
GFX: Sapphire HD Radeon 4850 512MB
OS: Windows 7 64bit (with all latest updates)
I seriously have no idea what is causing my Line6 Asio driver for not showing up in Cubase 5 anymore.
Does anyone have any idea or solution?
Reinstalling Cubase didn't work...
Thanks in advance!

A shrine to the "Virgin of the Battles" in the mountain region of Asturias, Spain. A national Marian place of pilgrimage. It is on the site of a historic defeat of the Moslems in 718, when their army was destroyed by a landslide while the Christian soldiers took refuge in a cave that had long been a hermitage sanctuary of Our Lady. The statue venerated there is considered and extraordinary work of art.

So who's doing this reviewing then?
Well I've been building and flying or driving radio controlled models for over 40 years and during that time I like to think I've built up a reasonable amount of knowledge.
I'm also a qualified electronics engineer who has worked in radio frequency, analog, digital systems and software for more than three decades. In fact I designed and built my first RC set back in 1969.
For the past nine years I've also been involved in the design and manufacture of some rather sophisticated engine technology and UAV flight control systems.
So, chances are I've been there, done that and have a huge pile of tee shirts to prove it.
Right now I'm heavily into 3D flying and enjoy all aspects of the RC hobby. I may be old but I don't feel it.
In the Pipeline
Here's just a little bit of what's to come on this site...
RC explained: Demystifying terms such as PCM, PPM dual conversion, single conversion, full-range etc., this feature will explain it all.
Cheap Chinese Engines: Just how good are those cheap Chinese glow and gas engines that sell for half the price of their "brand-name" equivalent? I put several to the test.
Build your own radio gear?: Back in the old days, building your own RC gear was not uncommon and now the arrival of 2.4GHz has made it practical again.
Review: TowerPro/Hextronic MG995 servo
YES, IT GETS WORSE!
As if to prove my point, the brand-new and unused servo I dismantled to take these pictures was already suffering from stress-related fatigue.
In the picture below you can see that the (white) signal wire from the servo lead has already almost broken right off -- and that was probably just from the shaking it got while being transported half-way around the world in a cardboard box.
This kind of poor design and assembly quality is simply unacceptable in a servo intended for RC model use -- at any price.
How well do they work?
Let's forget the construction and reliability issues for a moment and focus on how well these servos actually work.
Well there's no disputing the fact that they have a reasonable amount of torque -- although nowhere near the amount claimed in those hype-laden ads.
The big problem with the MG995 however, is the unbelievable amount of overshoot these servos have.
What is overshoot?
Well if you command the servo to move to a particular angle it will actually travel well past that angle then back-up to the correct place. That's not good.
The reason for this overshoot is another of the servo's downsides -- it's very, very heavy for a standard-sized servo.
Much of this excess weight comes from the heavy gears and motor being used. Unlike better quality brands of servos such as Hitec and JR, the MG995 doesn't use lightweight aluminum alloy gears. Its gears are made from much heavier stuff and those heavy gears take much longer to accelerate and decelerate when the servo is commanded to move.
To make matters worse, that's not a lightweight coreless motor - it's a heavy three-pole cored motor and that adds even more to the inertia of the mechanics in this servo.
Unfortunately, the electronics isn't up to the task of rapidly starting and stopping that heavy motor and gearset -- hence the overshoot.
But wait -- it gets even worse!
The pots used in these servos are a thin-film carbon type that wears very quickly.
When I fitted one to a 40-sized profile model it was only a matter of weeks before it became very erratic and showed poor centering due to pot-wear.
I also noticed that the MG995 introduces large amounts of electrical noise onto the battery lines and this can cause range and glitching issues with some receivers.
I'm sorry but I can't think of anything good to say about the MG995 servo. It is a really bad servo from start to finish.
If you see them advertised on eBay or elsewhere, please don't be tempted to buy them, you'll just be jeopardizing your model and perhaps the safety of people nearby when you fly.
TowerPro/Hextronic MG995? AVOID, AVOID, AVOID

How come there's no compatibility between different brands of transmitters and receivers? Why can't you use a cheap Chinese receiver with your Futaba FASST radio?
4 Mar 2010
Since this has become a very frequently asked question, I've posted this simple guide to getting your product, or a product you're thinking of buying reviewed here at RCModelReviews
Useful information on what's inside your servos and how they work.
Important facts you should know about the oils that are used in our model engine fuels.
How well do five different 2.4GHz systems stack up when hit by interference? The answers are here, with more to come.
Yes it does work on model airplanes but there are some limitations involved with this bargain-basement radar speed gun.
These are possibly the world's worst servos, find out exactly why you should avoid these boat-anchors at any cost.
It's cheap but can it really stack up against other glow engines in the .90 market? Find out in this review.
How does this cheap 9-channel 2.4GHz radio system perform when compared to big-name systems that can cost two or three times as much? Have the Chinese finally developed a real contender with the iMax 9X?
Does all this 2.4GHz stuff have your head spinning?
I've done my best to demystify the whole subject so if you feel like a bit of learning, this is the stuff for you!
How can you tell when your engine needs new bearings? Who has the best prices and service on replacements? Just how do you change them? Get all that information and watch a great video tutorial anyone can follow.
The Chinese are now churning out a huge number of very reasonably priced no-name servos. But are they any good?

Last weekend I had some lychees sitting on my kitchen counter, threatening to be fresh and delicious, really just begging me to muddle them. And what can I say? I caved in. I was in a similar situation with a bottle of Hayman’s Old Tom gin, and between the three of us, we had a little soiree. Old Tom gin, as you are probably aware, tastes like slightly sweeter London Dry gin. If you don’t have any, you can add a dash of simple syrup to two ounces of gin and come away with much the same product. Moreover, Hayman’s is a very fruit-forward gin, so it blends especially well with fruit flavors.
Now I know what you’re thinking: lychee-based drinks suck. I’m sure we’ve all seen the sad lychee “martinis” that many sushi shops lower themselves by serving. They invariably use vodka and sake and lychee liqueur, perhaps with some simple syrup. It’s true, you can use sake much like a fortified wine, as the proof and the flavor profile are both about right, but I think sake muddies the flavor of lychee — or maybe the other way around. And lychee liqueur? Skip it. A big part of the reason to make a liqueur out of a flavor is to preserve its aroma while losing any bracing qualities that come from a high acidity. Lychee is neither particularly acidic nor fragant, so we can get a much richer flavor by muddling a fresh, whole fruit.
I searched for “lychee cocktail” and “lychee martini” just now, and the summary of my extensive research suggests that the internet wants you to make a “lychee martini” consisting of vodka, possibly dry vermouth, and the syrup from canned lychees. As a bonus, you can use a couple of the canned lychees as a garnish! That could be a lot worse, but it could also be a lot better. If you were a bit more discerning, you might happen upon this substantially better lychee drink which uses white wine as the base. I am a big fan of Darcy O’Neil and I am sure his recipe is excellent, provided you use fresh lychees. I think white wine sounds like a great match for this fruit, and I will be sure to try his drink soon.
In the meantime, I was just winging it, and I came up with this:
Unnamed Lychee Drink
1.5 oz Old Tom Gin (Hayman’s)
.5 oz Dry Vermouth (Dolin)
.25 oz Lemon Juice
.25 oz Simple Syrup
2 lychees, skinned and seeded
Muddle the lychees in the simple syrup, and then add the other ingredients. Shake and then double-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
Some lychees are a lot sweeter than others. Taste your drink as you’re making it, and decide if you like the ratio of sour lemon to fruit and syrup. You may find that you want it to be a little dryer, in which case, add just a dash more lemon. And please, don’t call it a lychee martini. | <urn:uuid:62c32c9e-5dbc-4ca1-896a-dc1535990d6e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://measureandstir.com/2012/08/01/muddled-lychee-and-gin/ | 2019-07-22T00:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527396.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721225759-20190722011759-00092.warc.gz | en | 0.958194 | 722 |

US drone hit same convoy targeted by French jet: USWASHINGTON - A US defense official said Thursday a US Predator drone along with a French fighter jet had attacked a convoy of vehicles in Libya that Paris believed was carrying Moamer Kadhafi.
French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet had earlier revealed that a French Mirage-2000 fired a warning shot at a column of several dozen vehicles fleeing Sirte.
The UAV Payload and Subsystems Market 2012-2022
The US defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the unmanned Predator aircraft had struck "the same convoy" but could not confirm that Kadhafi was in one of the vehicles.
Longuet told reporters in Paris that the convoy "was stopped from progressing as it sought to flee Sirte but was not destroyed by the French intervention."
Libyan fighters then intervened, destroying the vehicles, from which "they took out Colonel Kadhafi," he added.
The French warplane was sent to the area after news emerged of a large convoy of up to 80 vehicles trying to flee Sirte, he said.
After Libya's new leadership announced the death of Kadhafi, celebratory gunfire erupted across Tripoli on Thursday and jubilant crowds flooded onto the streets waving the red, black and green flag of the new regime.
The NATO-led air campaign was launched in March under a UN mandate to protect civilians from Kadhafi's forces trying to crush popular protests.

Leadership isn’t easy. People constantly question your actions. When you’re successful, people want the credit for themselves, and may start to feel they don’t even need you. If something you start doesn’t work, a weak leader may even feel threatened.
You can’t afford to be.
As the person on top, you can’t afford moments of weakness if something goes wrong. Especially not with everyone watching you. And when your subordinates decide they are good enough to not need your leadership – whether wrong or right – you cannot take it personally.
Learn how to steel your nerves as a leader today.

Butler SOS is an open source (free!!) tool that provides real-time monitoring of Qlik Sense environments.
Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, in Docker or as a Kubernetes service.
Eager to try it out? The getting started pages will tell you everything you need.
— Why is monitoring important? —
For starters, if you are responsible for a Sense environment and hear about issues from your end users - that’s a bad position to be in. You should be the first to know when something breaks. Only then are you able to fix things quickly, ideally even before end users realise there has been an incident.
Additionally, having access to real-time metrics makes it hugely easier to incrementally tweak and tune your Sense environment.
— Can I get alerts when some metric go out of bounds? —
Yes! Butler SOS stores all data in an InfluxDB and/or Prometheus database, from where it is visualised using Grafana.
Both are best-in-class, open source products for storing and visualising time-series data.
Grafana is increadibly feature rich, including a powerful alerting feature that can send alerts to email, IM tools (Slack etc), PagerDuty and more.
— Can I get alerts when errors or warnings occur in Qlik Sense? —
Yes! In version 7 Butler SOS added a new, unique feature: Real-time monitoring of Qlik Sense log events.
This means that you get notifications about warnings or errors within seconds of them happening in your Sense server(s). You can take action within minutes rather than hours or days.
The same concept also works for user events. Need to track sessions over time or alert when a users from a certain department logs on? No problem.
Butler SOS version 9 takes this concept even further, enabling forwarding of select log and user events to the New Relic monitoring service.
— We use system <our-preferred-monitoring–tool> for monitoring. Can it be used with Butler SOS? —
Yes, most likely. Butler SOS supports both InfluxDB, Prometheus and New Relic, but also optionally sends metrics as MQTT messages.
If your main monitoring tool can use either of these as a data source, it can read data extracted by Butler SOS.
If not natively supporting InfluxDB, Prometheus, New Relic or MQTT, it is usually pretty easy to create a small tool that acts as a bridge to other systems. | <urn:uuid:b011a927-ac2e-43be-8c6f-dd964df728e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://butler-sos.ptarmiganlabs.com/ | 2023-12-01T03:34:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00139.warc.gz | en | 0.906778 | 524 |
