I've been primal since the beginning of November, and I've been pretty good about it, but yesterday I came down with a seriously awful stomach flu. I went to the doctor and they gave me an IV and Zofran, which helped a lot. Today I've only managed to eat half a banana and now I'm making some chicken soup. I'm thinking it's going to take a while for my stomach to properly recover since it's so sensitive in the first place. Primal food can be pretty rich and I'm used to eating rice, toast, crackers, potatoes, etc. when I'm sick, so do you guys have any ideas for stuff I can eat that won't damage my stomach any further?
My mom went through this a couple of months ago, and I asked a very similar question in here on her behalf. She asked me to buy her white rice and bananas and chicken noodle soup... Most of the responses I got in this forum were variations on "Let her eat whatever she wants till she feels better...". Some suggestions for ginger tea, etc, to deal with the nausea...
Vegan from 1993 until Oct 16, 2010. "D'oh!!"
Depending on how bad you are at this point, I'd probably go in this order:
Ginger tea is excellent, or peppermint. Even chamomile is great for an upset stomach.
Small amounts of baked sweet potato.
Some fruit is ok, mashed up banana, a few strawberries.
Mark had an awesome article about this recently:
What to Eat on an Upset Stomach | Mark's Daily Apple
A Post-Primal PrimalPat
Do not allow yourself to become wrapped up in a food 'lifestyle'. That is ego, and you are not that.
I did manage to get down some homemade chicken soup last night, but it didn't sit too well with me and I woke up extremely nauseous this morning. I tried to make an egg because I'm so weak and dizzy and need to go to class today, but my stomach wasn't having it so I broke down and went with a piece of gluten free toast. Something is better than nothing right?
The week I started primal eating I got a horrendous stomach virus. I ended up fasting for most of it, and having beef broth, scrambled eggs, and tea without cream when I felt I needed something in my system. But I think the fasting helped me get over it faster (I was much better after 3 days). | <urn:uuid:0b994bc4-3e00-41ae-a24f-56de8f8dde07> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread49012.html | 2016-02-13T21:45:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701168011.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193928-00348-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976192 | 513 |
Dalton Harris has advanced to perform in Week 2 of The X Factor UK Live Shows next Saturday.
This weekend saw a double elimination after all sixteen of the finalists performed for the first time. Harris was named during Week 1 Live Results Show on Sunday, where host Dermot O’Leary first announced the 13 safe acts before confirming the three with the least public votes — two of which were eliminated.
Following the eliminations, a total of 14 acts now remain in the competition. The X Factor 2018 continues next Saturday, October 27, at 8:35PM on ITV and continues with the second results show at 8PM on the Sunday, October 28.
Harris’ stunning rendition of ‘Life On Mars’ last Saturday earned him another standing ovation during the first Live Show of the competition, cementing his reputation as an early one to watch.
Dalton is 24 and from Kingston, Jamaica, and worked as a singer on cruise ships. He began singing at the age of five in church and was encouraged to enter singing competitions at various schools around the island. He was able to earn some money for his family that way and lit the fire of passion for singing he has today.
At the age of 16, he won Jamaican talent show Digicel Rising Stars, giving him a brief career in his home country and getting to number one in the Jamaican reggae charts. However the genre was not something he wanted to pursue, and he now hopes a shot at The X Factor crown will allow him to achieve his dreams on his terms. | <urn:uuid:7599b7d1-9381-4b15-b74f-54d21b17c980> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://iamajamaican.net/sports/2018/10/the-votes-are-in-dalton-harris-advances-to-week-2-of-x-factors-live-shows/ | 2022-05-20T00:05:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662530553.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519235259-20220520025259-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.98913 | 320 |
I wanted to share with you another client before and after. I love when my clients want to have a little bit of fun with makeup. I had an Asian client who came to me because she trusted me to work on her Asian features. It was her birthday and she wanted something outside of her norm. We went for a fun smokey look. It's funny because growing up, I heard so many things that you shouldn't do with Asian makeup - don't apply dark colors, don't apply too much eyeliner...well in this post I show you that sometimes you should break those rules. Check it out!
When it comes to smaller eyes which is often the case with Asians, one of the best combination of items you can do to open the eyes is properly utilizing liner (Inglot Gel liner #77 and MAC Feline Kohl Pencil) and lashes. In this case, I used winged liner technique, mimicked with shadow that helps to create a cat eye shape which elongates the eyes. The lashes (style 747s) help to open and lift the eye as well. I brought the liner all around the eye to finish off the smokey look. In this case, it doesn't close off the eye as the fading shadowing around the liner helps to soften the line as well as create the illusion of a larger eye shape.
Another focus on my client was giving her a nice complexion. She had some sun damage and I wanted to even her skin tone without making it cakey. I'm not a huge fan of full coverage that looks flat and thick. The key is to spot conceal and then apply a lighter base on top - that's how to get the effect of good skin not necessarily a lot of foundation.
We finished the look off with a red lip (Alcone Enduring Lip Color in Cherry Pie). You'd normally not think to pair a smokey eye with a dramatic lip but in this case it works. We kept the dark shadows low on the eyelid and used a neutral bronze so as to not overly darken the eye. If you want a bold eye and lip combo, rock it! Just make sure to execute it well.
Hope you all enjoyed this post!

A seventh-grade class in the Ocean View School district was forced to sing a song about Islam that implied that ‘Allah’ was the only god.
A teacher in the Ocean View School district forced her seventh-grade class to sing a song about Islam that implied Allah was the only god.
The teacher used the melody of the song “This Is My Fight Song,” written by Rachel Platten, and altered the original lyrics to fit Islam. The original lyrics read:
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might have only one match
But I can make an explosion
The teacher’s version went like this:
Like a sandstorm in the desert
Sending camels into motion,
Like how a single faith
Can make a heart open
They might only have one god,
But they can make an explosion.
Cw39.com reported the incident happened at the Spring View Middle School, and the chorus of the song went like this:
And all those things they have to say
Islam … Allah’s on the way
They will preach them loud tonight
Can you hear their voice this time?
This is their fight song
Spread Islam now song
Prove that they’re right song
Susan Negron, the mother of one of the students, discovered what the teacher had done when her son brought home drawings in a notebook including a stick-figure man saying, “Believe in Allah! There is no other god” and a copy of the lyrics, according to the Orange County Register.
Outraged, Susan’s mother Nichole posted pictures on a Huntington Beach community Facebook page on Tuesday, and later addressed the Oceanview School Board. Susan reportedly said, “I believe that by singing this song, the children feel comfortable believing that maybe Allah is the only god, and maybe that they should start following him. And that I’m not OK with.”
On Wednesday, the Ocean View district issued a statement from Superintendent Carol Hansen, according to the Register: “It was unfortunate the lesson on Islam ended just prior to the tragic world events last week … I apologize on behalf of the district if the song used in the World History lesson may have offended anyone. It was not the intention of the teacher to incite, anger or offend.” | <urn:uuid:dd625c9c-a427-4d6f-bf60-3f023592ae85> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://truthuncensored.net/7th-grade-teacher-teaches-islam-fight-song/ | 2018-10-22T03:09:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583514497.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022025852-20181022051352-00462.warc.gz | en | 0.950918 | 502 |

Yowza! It takes one heck of a celebrity to be able to buy digs like this, but the lady who is rumored to have purchased this Hamptons mansion has got plenty of dough to spend.
The term "triple threat" doesn't even encompass everything this Bronx-born beauty has accomplished, with tons of hits within her musical discography, critically-acclaimed film performances, an ability to shake it like no other, and a fashion empire on top of about a million endorsement deals and modeling gigs
The rockin' songstress is obviously a big fan of the French language, and perhaps her Canadian background has something to do with that.
The ink reads, "La vie en Rose. Vivre le moment present," which translates to "Life in pink. Live in the moment." Though the term "Life in pink," is a rather rough translation, it can also mean "life through rose-colored glasses," meaning to view things in a more pleasant fashion.
Ain't nobody f---in' with this guy's board meetings! If this rapper has to put his iPad, stylus, and additional office gizmos on anything other than the finest Italian marble, he may just go ballistic.
Isn't this future pop-rock frontman just cute as a button? You may not recognize him without all of the eyeliner, spikey hair and facial scruff, but there's no denying he's still got his boyish good looks, even at the age of 41.
This singer of a pop punk band is huge fan of snail mail, apparently! This particular star got this ink back in February at Lust for Life Tattoo all the way in Brisbane, Australia. This 'Monster' of a singer is no stranger to a tattoo artist's chair, as she have nine other pieces of ink on her body besides this one

Bruce Bartlett held senior policy roles in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations and served on the staffs of Representatives Jack Kemp and Ron Paul. He is the author of “The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform – Why We Need It and What It Will Take.”
Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, are quite insistent that their tax plan is just the elixir that the economy needs to jumpstart growth. As Mr. Ryan said at last week’s debate, “Our entire premise of these tax reform plans is to grow the economy and create jobs.” He pointed to the similarity between Mr. Romney’s tax plan and the one that became law under Ronald Reagan in 1986.
Perspectives from expert contributors.
Indeed, there is similarity between the Reagan and Romney tax plans. Reagan broadened the tax base by eliminating tax deductions and loopholes and used the revenue to lower the top statutory federal income rate to 28 percent – exactly as Mr. Romney proposes.
In principle, a change that holds revenues constant while lowering marginal tax rates – the rate on the last dollar earned – should increase growth. That is because, in economist-speak, both the income and the substitution effects are pushing in the same direction.
Bureau of Economic Analysis, via Gluskin Sheff
5:38 p.m. | Updated with 20-year chart
Anyone who shops at the grocery store or fills up at the gas station has felt the pinch for several weeks now, and confirmation came earlier this week in the Commerce Department’s personal-income figures. They showed that real disposable income fell 0.1 percent, largely because of food and gas inflation.
David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist for the investment firm Gluskin Sheff & Associates, ran the numbers another way and found that more than 22 percent of wages and salaries were being spent on food or gas. That, he writes in his daily newsletter, is a level seen only twice previously since 1990. “Both ultimately landed the economy into recessions that ensnared discretionary household spending,” he writes.
Certainly, with real incomes falling and the prices of basic goods rising, this might not bode well for consumer spending and in turn, the fragile recovery.
The upside? “A new bull market in frugality, ‘trade down’ goods and private label is likely on its way again,” Mr. Rosenberg writes.
Casey B. Mulligan is an economics professor at the University of Chicago.
The amount of disposable income that Americans have had available to spend has continued to increase since last August, while the amount they have actually spent has been dropping. This suggests that the fundamental cause of low consumption spending is consumers’ recognition that their homes and businesses are worth less. It also suggests that consumer spending may be headed even lower.
The chart below graphs monthly personal disposable income and consumption expenditure since July 2008, both adjusted for inflation. The former has been rising since August and the latter falling most of the months since June.

Personal consumption expenditure measures the amount spent by households on goods and services. It comprises about 70 percent of total spending in the economy. Thus, it is important to understand why consumption spending has fallen so much in the last six months.

My mom and I had the honour of attending King Cole’s Duck School in August, as Patti’s guests. If you are unfamiliar with King Cole (I wrote a blog about it here), as was I, the company owns a duck farm and is a major duck supplier (they supply ducks within Canada, to the States and Japan). My mom works works for a meat & poultry supplier, so that’s how Patti (a lovely lady and plays a major role in the company’s behind the scenes production and management) met my mom.
Patti and I have kept in contact and a while a go, she asked me if my mom and I were interested. Obviously we quickly agreed, we both love to attend anything that’s related to food. :P
We decided on August and Ladies Who Lunch was the theme. The guest chef, Christopher Pires, made a three course meal, using duck in all three dishes and of course, using King Cole’s products as well.
First course was a salad, composed of arugula, watercress and smoked duck breast.
Second course (the main) was a curry with coconut rice.
I think the dessert was my favourite — sticky toffee pudding with salted duck fat.
The class was about a two hour session. During this time Chef Pires cooked and taught us tips and tricks for cooking his three course meal. Patti also introduced us to the company and explained a lot about duck. We could ask questions throughout the session and everyone seemed to enjoy their time (a few people have attended a previous class).
The end finally came and everyone was given a goodie bag. In it had King Cole products; the duck products that were used in making the dishes that Chef Pires made. | <urn:uuid:fb9736c8-0318-4afe-8a40-4c2ba17d784d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chalkboredkitchen.com/2016/09/06/duck-school-at-king-cole-august-edition/ | 2020-09-29T22:32:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402093104.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929221433-20200930011433-00722.warc.gz | en | 0.985567 | 371 |
Bread from Heaven
VALENTINA: In the early morning, before 5 am, while I was saying my prayers, our Lord Jesus came with an angel. The angel was holding a loaf of Bread in his hand. Looking at me, the angel said,
ANGEL: “Take It! Take It into your hands!”
VALENTINA: The Bread was so white, even whiter than snow. I had never seen Bread look so white. The angel said,
ANGEL: “This is for you. Eat some of It. This will nourish you while you cannot go to church to receive It, because of this virus.”
VALENTINA: Being obedient to the angel, I took the loaf and only broke off one small piece. I asked the Lord, “What will I do with the rest of this Bread?” Lord Jesus said,
OUR LORD: “Share It! Share It with others spiritually, for those who cannot go to church also. Think of the Holy Souls as well, for they hunger for My Bread and My Mercy. Offer them to Me spiritually.”
VALENTINA: I said, “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming to nourish us spiritually.” Then our Lord departed with the angel.
I strongly believe that when we cannot receive our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist, as we usually do when we go to church, that He comes to us when we truly ask Him to do so from our hearts. He comes when we deeply desire for Him to come, to nourish us spiritually and to give us strength.
Not long after, about 7 am while I was praying The Angelus, Blessed Mary Most Holy came. Smiling, she said, “Peace be with you, my daughter.” She looked so cheerful. She said,
OUR LADY: “Praised be my Son Jesus!”
VALENTINA: I responded, “May He be praised forever!” Blessed Mother continued,
OUR LADY: “Tell people to be very grateful that my Son Jesus protects you from this horrible virus, and protects Australia from not having so many deaths like most other countries in the world. This is because here, in this country, people were praying, and God had mercy on them. I tell you these viruses are very deadly and horrible. They are still hanging over the world. I also come to tell you, my children, don’t be curious about what is coming to the world. Some people constantly look on the internet for some new events to happen. God is not pleased with that.”
VALENTINA: Blessed Mother became quite serious. She said,
OUR LADY: “Tell people not to predict what is coming soon or in the future. I want you to live only in this present time and not to worry ahead of time. Pray and let God take care of everything. Let His Holy Will be done. Not yours! Isn’t this deadly virus enough for you, my children? This is so serious you have no idea. Pray that the virus in the world will end soon and completely.”
VALENTINA: At that moment, Most Holy Mother held a card in her holy hand. It was similar to a postcard. She said,
OUR LADY: “This is for you. Take it!”
VALENTINA: She placed the card in my hands. I was so happy, and I said, “Thank you, my Mother. It is so beautiful.”
The card was of quite hard material, with a beautiful pink background, upon which there were many beautiful golden stars, and the edges of the card were all trimmed in gold. However, in the centre, I could see handwriting in blue pen. I understood that the golden stars represent Graces given by God. Blessed Mother smiled and said,
OUR LADY: “I wrote a Prayer for you, my children, for my protection during these times, that are dangerous. Say this Prayer every day.”
VALENTINA: I prayed to the Holy Spirit, and then I asked Blessed Mother, “Please help me so that I will know the Prayer that you wrote on the card.” She then placed on my heart this Prayer:
‘Blessed Mother we come to your Patronage
To seek your aid and protection
In these dangerous times
That are threatening us.
Cover us with your Virginal and Holy Mantle
And keep us in your safe refuge. Amen.’
VALENTINA: Pray for us, Holy Mother of the world. She is Mother of the world because it is a worldly sickness from which we seek her protection.
Since it was Mother’s Day today, I said, “Blessed Mother, Happy Mother’s Day. You are the Mother of all mothers all over the world.”
She was very happy and joyful when I said this to her. She was dressed all in white, with gold trimming, ever so lovable and smiling.
“God created all the mothers in the world, and He blessed them today,” She said. | <urn:uuid:b47d5e59-d7fc-473f-90cb-8c5f74846312> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://littlepebble.org/2020/05/25/message-to-valentina-sydney-seer-10-may-2020/ | 2022-05-28T20:55:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652663019783.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220528185151-20220528215151-00761.warc.gz | en | 0.97436 | 1,094 |

The White House has posted video of President Obama's phone call to United States World Cup soccer stars Tim Howard and Clint Dempsey.
"You guys did us proud," Obama told the players who led the team to the Round of 16 in the World Cup tournament, and boosted the popularity of soccer in the United States.
In a readout of the call, the White House said Obama praised the players "not only for their work on the field, but for carrying themselves in a way that made the country proud."
Howard, the goalie whose performance had fans nominating him for secretary of defense, also received a call from the real Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel.
Hagel invited Howard to visit the Pentagon. | <urn:uuid:6d53bc21-fd2e-4c1d-a3e0-cc51b8cee347> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.11alive.com/news/obama-calls-tim-howard-clint-dempsey/253193137 | 2017-07-27T01:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549426693.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727002123-20170727022123-00410.warc.gz | en | 0.970636 | 144 |

Half-Life: Alyx has been out since March 2020 and you may have been wondering, what have the folks at Valve been up to since then? Well in the case of Gabe Newell, he's been a ‘COVID refugee' in New Zealand for the last few months and as a thank you to the country's hospitality, he is putting on a free concert.
New Zealand has been one of the safest countries in the midst of this pandemic, with 1,555 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and only 22 deaths. After shipping Half-Life: Alyx in March, Gabe Newell and a few of his friends went to New Zealand to celebrate. As he explained on an NZ morning TV show, via PCGamer, once the pandemic started, his group had to make a decision to leave within 24 hours or stay and wait things out- they opted to stay in the end and have been living over there ever since.
Of course, while NZ is very safe, Newell has had plenty of concern for his colleagues, friends and family back in the United States: “the hardest part by far is being worried about friends and family who aren't in New Zealand. When I talk to people back in Seattle it's a very strange time, it's very challenging. They're very isolated, they aren't able to go out and take advantage of the environment that New Zealand has created itself and visitors like us.”
To thank the people of New Zealand for their hospitality, a free concert will be held in mid August, with live music, VR demo stands and food trucks. People of all ages will be welcome during the day and then it will turn into an 18+ affair in the evening.
KitGuru Says: New Zealand has been one of, if not the safest country to be since the pandemic got underway, so it would seem that Newell and company made a wise decision to stick around for a few months. If any of you happen to be in the Auckland area, let us know if you plan on attending the concert in August! | <urn:uuid:9c5921da-5645-4a72-adf6-0737da47454d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/gabe-newell-has-been-a-covid-refugee-in-new-zealand-since-march/ | 2023-09-28T07:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510368.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928063033-20230928093033-00858.warc.gz | en | 0.983992 | 425 |

Lexus LX 570
By rjb12 on
Vehicle2013 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
ReviewI purchased this vehicle on July 30, 2013.
Nothing but problems. First day tire pressure warning light came. Took it back to the dealer and they repaired it driving home 8 miles later came on again. Took back to dealer and they replaced sensors.
On Thursday September 12 car completely shut down very scary moment. Lost all power SCRA light came on, warnings lights, engine lights on. Couldn't restart no power, head lights stayed on locked in park couldn't do anything even lock doors to call Lexus. Lexus service sent out a tow truck and they had to put the car on dollies in order to tow it back to dealer Newport Lexus Sales Manager explained that vehicle is dangerous refused to replace it.
Worst FeaturesI purchased 2 other vehicles and paid them off and now Lexus / Toyota needs to honor their name and buy back vehicle. It is dangerous and unsafe to drive when the power goes off and you cannot control or even put in neutral thats terrifying.

University of Georgia Weed Scientist Stanley Culpepper knows growers have Palmer amaranth in their cotton fields. He sees it every day.
"For those growers not using residual based programs, this result continues to be expected," Culpepper says. "Unfortunately, there are also growers using sound residual programs that are facing this late-season pigweed challenge. For large pigweeds, the P&P program (Plowing and Pulling) is often the only consistently effective option, albeit not really an economical option for sure."
For those using P&P, Culpepper cautions that the job isn't done until the weeds are taken from the field.
"They will re-root once it rains!" Culpepper says.
However, for timely treatment Culpepper reported the following herbicide options in the UGA Cotton Newsletter this month.
1) Diuron (Direx, others) + MSMA has proven time and time again to be one of the most effective and economical treatments when spraying pigweeds 4 inches or smaller in size. Below are several key factors to consider prior to spraying diuron + MSMA in cotton.
Diuron rate: 1.6 to 2.4 pt/A, see label for use on your soils, cotton must be 12 inches tall.
Check label for rotational restrictions as your next crop may be sensitive.
MSMA rate: 2.5 pt of a 6.6 lb ai per gal or 2.67 pt of a 6.0 lb ai per gal.
Add Crop Oil when applying diuron + MSMA alone.
The addition of Valor to this mixture will not improve control of emerged Palmer but will improve residual control, especially if rainfall does not occur within 7 days of application. If adding Valor to a diuron + MSMA mixture one must use surfactant and not crop oil. Never apply Valor with crop oil at layby.
A weakness of diuron + MSMA is controlling larger morningglory (> 4 inch). The addition of Aim, ET, or Valor to diuron + MSMA will improve control.
Valor, Aim, and ET should only be applied to cotton that is at least 18 inches tall having 3-4 inches of a "barky" stem. Spray should not contact higher than 2 inches up on the cotton.
These mixtures will be far more effective when applied in 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre when compared to lower volumes such as 10 gallons per acre.
2. Paraquat (38 fl oz of Gramoxone Inteon) + diuron (1.6 to 2.4 pt) + Crop Oil is the single most effective herbicide mixture to control emerged Palmer amaranth, Culpepper says, noting this treatment often controls Palmer up to 8 inches in size if applied appropriately. However, he notes several key factors to consider before spraying this mixture in cotton.
Hooded application only.
Spray or even spray drift can not contact any part of the cotton or very, very serious injury will occur.
Of course, this application will not control weeds in the cotton row.
Apply in 15 to 20 gallon of water per acre.
See label for use of diuron on your soil. | <urn:uuid:c4aff46e-7503-44e3-9e89-3742093f1a9e> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://farmprogress.com/story-got-pigweed-0-24986 | 2014-03-12T06:31:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394021425440/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305121025-00021-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.906053 | 675 |
Linda Godfrey is one of the most best authorities on strange creatures in the world. As an author and journalist, she was the first to break the story of a terrifying, werewolf-like monstrosity lurking in the shadow shrouded forests surrounding Elkhorn, Wisconsin’s Bray Road. She’s the author of many books on Strange creatures including the Beast of Bray Road, Hunting the American Werewolf and Weird Wisconsin.
This is a fascinating interview that takes us from Linda’s beginnings as an author all the way to her first book about the famous Wisconsin widow that poisoned her husband and kids and then we get into the fascinating world of such creatures as Bigfoot, Dogman, Conscious Orbs and many more strange creatures.
Daniel even asks Linda about her thoughts on such topics as underground bases, Reptilians, Giants and global conspiracies. This prompts Linda to share some of her own stories of black helicopters and strange fake Russians.
Daniel comes back from break with quite a bit on his mind. He goes on to explain the entire dramatic Wolfman Mike fiasco that resulted in Daniel pulling the plug on his last show. Daniel then reads some interesting letters from fans before launching a heartfelt diatribe about what is most important to him on the radio. | <urn:uuid:f0aa2848-b63f-432c-bd59-eec5c4aa376e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://endofdaysradio.com/linda-godfrey-big-cats-reptilians-in-the-city-and-so-many-dogmen-eodr-36/ | 2019-07-24T00:53:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530246.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723235815-20190724021815-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.951461 | 257 |
Australian startup Tapit is aiming to achieve what others have failed to do: disrupt reliance on search engines such as Google while making people’s lives easier.
The latest project for the Sydney-based group is assisting Australian telecommunications giant Telstra in a near field communication, or NFC, campaign which enables users to sign-up for a free trial of on-demand music provider MOG by merely tapping their smartphone against a display unit. MOG is a California-headquartered competitor to Spotify and Telstra is its Australian licensee.
“It’s the biggest outdoor NFC-enabled campaign in the world to date, with 347 pieces of street furniture in Sydney and Melbourne in use,” Tapit chief executive officer Jamie Conyngham told Deal Journal Australia.
“We’re disruptive in our ability to reduce finger-typing and application-downloading on smartphones, as well as the fact we can cut-out search engines,” he said.
The company — which was founded in March 2011 — has been running on around 900,000 Australian dollars (US$927,000) of seed funding and grants, but needs a larger lick of capital to be able to fund expansion driven by inbound interest from global brands who have seen the group’s work with clients such as Coca Cola, Research in Motion, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, David Jones and Vodafone in Singapore and Australia.
Tapit — which has projects scheduled in the U.K., Portugal and Dubai — is seeking around A$8 million in Series A funding, a term used to describe a startup’s first significant round of venture capital. Mr. Conyngham will meet with potential offshore investors in Silicon Valley later next month.
The group doesn’t just stick to street furniture and has held events for the likes of HTC where wristbands — rather than billboards — were content drivers. Tapit can also be found in places shop windows, information kiosks and even museums. By tapping smartphones against the Tapit symbol, users can follow businesses on Facebook or Twitter, download information relating to artifacts or score discount vouchers relating to products on sale.
“In the small-to-medium enterprise space we’re trialling Tapit stickers at 250 restaurants, cafes and bars which has had strong response compared to the QR code,” Mr. Conyngham said.
But there’s one catch. Apple is yet to join the likes of Samsung, BlackBerry, Nokia, Sony and HTC in including NFC as part of its handset, the iPhone.
“That’s not a showstopper for us since the phone isn’t as dominant in emerging markets like China and India,” Mr. Conyngham said. “But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the new iPhone since research on the sector shows such immense growth.”
London-based Frost & Sullivan asserted earlier this year, adding that by 2015, NFC will be the most-used solution for mobile payment and forecasts compound annual growth of 118% between 2010 and 2015.
“We expect that the total payment value for NFC globally to reach €111.2 billion in 2015, while the NFC payment value in the European Union is expected to reach €41.87 billion,” Frost & Sullivan said in January.
Tapit intends the ride the payments-driven growth in NFC, but is more focused on earning revenue by delivering content. Examples of this include making public transport easier through Tapit’s provision of timetable information, assisting tourism by enabling weatherproof information hotspots all around Sydney’s history-rich The Rocks suburb, as well as providing information for displays within Sydney’s The Australian Museum for the New South Wales State Government.
“Instead of carrying around an information brochure or a flyer, you can tap your smartphone on displays and even watch videos or listen to commentary at a later date,” Mr. Conyngham explained. | <urn:uuid:d96545f3-bb01-416b-a0df-00c98bf7ecc7> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://blogs.wsj.com/dealjournalaustralia/2012/07/23/aussie-startup-says-dont-google-just-tapit/ | 2014-04-18T17:12:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609533957.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005213-00042-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942968 | 831 |
Where We Be
|Icefields Parkway -- Peyto Lake Hike
|We think the short hike to Peyto Lake is one
of the best stops along the Icefields Parkway
|This is Athabasca Glacier -- a part of the huge Columbia Icefield. It's located right
across from the Icefields Centre. Glacier sighting doesn't get any easier than this!
|You can follow a trail right up to the toe of the glacier (no tour needed).
The hike is 1.2 miles (2 km) round-trip and takes about an hour.
|Here you can see people at the toe of the glacier -- and others on a tour directly on the glacier itself. We took the Sno-Coach
tour on a previous visit. A Sno-Coach is essentially a bus with huge treaded tires that drives up onto the glacier. From there you
can walk on the glacier itself. If you take the tour, dress warmly -- the katabatic winds blowing off the glacier tend to be very cold.
|Sunwapta Falls overlook is only 0.1 km away from the roadside parking lot so it's a
no-brainer. You'll be treated to a huge onslaught of frothing water in a tight canyon.
|Athabasca Falls is one of the most popular stops
along the entire Icefields Parkway, and for good reason
|A series of five bridges provide terrific views down onto the falls,
which cascade with incredible force through the narrow canyon walls
|Same spot as above, but looking up the glaciated valley. Be sure to push on past the
crowded tourist overlook-- you only have to hike a short distance to a little side trail for
views like these. Or continue on to Bow Summit (1.8 miles one way, 800 ft elev. gain).
|In truth, you don't even have to get off the
road to enjoy some pretty amazing scenery
|You stand a good chance of seeing elk, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. If you're lucky you might see grizzlies,
black bear, caribou, moose, or mountain goats. In theory there are gray wolves and mountain lions.
|The weather can be fickle here, so be prepared for anything
from early morning fog to bright sunshine to thunderstorms
|The roar of Athabasca Falls is an unforgettable finish to your Icefields
Parkway drive. Just a bit further north is the town of Jasper itself.
|We were startled when this elk descended a
steep embankment to forage near the road
|Later on, at Wapiti Campground in Jasper, this fellow
got a little too close and the elk let him know it!
|As the early morning fog lifted and clouds swirled around the mountains, we were
treated to some truly outstanding views. The lake itself is a startling turquoise blue.
If you make it to Banff, be absolutely sure to
continue north to Jasper National Park as well.
The two parks are connected by the Icefields
Parkway, which is a destination in its own right.
You'll have a front-row seat to some of the best
scenery the Canadian Rockies has to offer. The
road stretches 144 miles (230 km), and there are
plenty of pullovers offering enticing views and
the chance to see wildlife. Three of the must-
sees are Athabasca Glacier, Sunwapta Falls, and
To make the most of your experience, be sure
to get out and hike -- you'll be amazed at the
pristine wilderness scenery you can enjoy with
just a small amount of effort. We especially
recommend Peyto Lake (left) and Parker Ridge,
both short hikes that offer spectacular views.
We did these two trails but had to skip others
just as tempting, like Wilcox Pass and Helen
Lake. (Oh well, guess we'll just have to go back!)
|Also be prepared to pull off a lot for roadside
views like this one at Tangle Creek Falls
|The Icefields Centre is located about halfway up Icefields Parkway. It's usually extremely
crowded, so if you simply want to view Athabasca Glacier, park across the street instead. | <urn:uuid:eeb3503c-9ee9-463b-8f50-df672c9df975> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://wherewebe.com/index_2015_08-04_icefields.html | 2018-07-16T23:50:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589536.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20180716232549-20180717012549-00423.warc.gz | en | 0.940294 | 902 |
I had the good fortune to go fishing with Mickey Daniels of Mickey's Big Mac Charters mickeysbigmack.com/lake-tahoe-fishing
Mickey was gracious enough to take my Son Everett and I out to fish and shoot video of Mackinaw Trout for UCD's Fish Hatchery Museum installation due to open in July terc.ucdavis.edu/.
We came back with four huge (at least Everett and I thought they were huge) fish, one of which measured out at almost 25 inches. The state record for Mackinaw was caught on Lake Tahoe at a whopping 37lbs!
Everett was a great sport and we had a really fun experience. Please be sure to watch all the way through. You won't want to miss the end of this video.

So let’s say you follow one of our repair guides or watch a video and you’re feeling like a Boss when you start your repair. So far, so good. Halfway through, you run into a problem, or maybe you’re about to put everything back together, but you can’t quite remember how things line up, maybe your cat ran off with all the screws for your device. You get the idea.
You realize, you could use some help. Simply head to the SafetyNet section of our website, or make that human-to-human contact at 925-689-9488.

What’s it cost? Just $29 and that includes shipping to TechRestore, the diagnosis and return shipping back to you. If additional parts or labor are needed, we will provide you a no-obligation price quote and apply the cost of the parts you purchased, towards the repair price.

You knew it was coming. The Chainsmokers’ viral, comedy sensation “#SELFIE” has officially ascended into the top ten on iTunes.
Since breaking out as a popular video and streaming option earlier this year, the EDM tune has been steadily gaining sales traction at the leading digital music store. Currently number eight on the overall iTunes single sales chart, it will likely go higher before it goes lower.
The song, which started at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, is also expected to gain ground on that chart. | <urn:uuid:e8f2eee5-2c69-45d0-9429-a844e88153cf> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://headlineplanet.com/home/2014/03/09/chart-story-chainsmokers-selfie-breaks-itunes-top-10/ | 2017-02-24T21:37:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171630.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00013-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967968 | 114 |
Invisalign is a prevalent teeth-straightening method currently. They are clear aligners, so they are invisible to the general population. And you can remove them and consume whatever you like. You can wear them again after a meal if you carefully brush your teeth. They are less humiliating and more comfortable than conventional metal braces. And they are also less painful.
However, it becomes tough for the orthodontist to provide Invisalign treatment to a patient with a smoking habit. If you are a smoker and want to obtain Invisalign braces, there are certain considerations you must make. The following sections will address common questions about smoking and Invisalign treatment.
The Effects Of Smoking On Oral Health
It should be no surprise that tobacco use and smoking are just as damaging to teeth and the oral cavity as to the rest of the body. While there are multiple general impacts of smoking, orthodontists and dentists are most concerned about the increased risk of gum disease, the danger of oral cancer that could spread to the rest of the body, tooth discoloration, and quick tooth decay can lead to tooth loss.
Constant smoking may also result in chronic foul breath and dry mouth, among other negative hygiene effects. This is concerning to orthodontists and patients because of the possibility that therapy will be protracted or unsuccessful if the teeth are not adequately cared for.
Can You Smoke While Undergoing Invisalign?
Because the aligners are removable, it is technically possible to smoke throughout Invisalign therapy. However, it is not advised to do so for a number of reasons. Numerous dental and general health issues are caused by smoking. It’s probably not a surprise that it can hinder Invisalign treatment. As part of the consultation procedure, we address all of the potential complications that may develop if you continue to smoke while getting Invisalign treatment.
Effects of Smoking While Wearing Invisalign
The effects of smoking on Invisalign therapy are as follows:
Poor Oral Health
Tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco are detrimental to tooth health. You risk developing tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer if you smoke frequently. If you smoke while wearing Invisalign aligners, treatment failure is possible. It would be best for your overall health and oral health if you quit smoking. Invisalign might provide you with the opportunity to break this harmful behavior.
Persistent Bad Breath from Smoking
Smoking causes bad breath, but your Invisalign aligners can make it worse. The foul smells might linger for a long time.
Stains on Clear Aligners
Clear aligner trays are the reason you are undergoing Invisalign therapy. These trays conceal your therapy from public view. Smoking might cause discoloration of the aligners. This will allow your tray to be seen. Are you considering what would happen if I removed the trays before smoking? Nope! It serves no useful use! Tar and nicotine residue from smoking are sufficient to stain the tray.
Trapped Nicotine & Tobacco in Teeth
People believe removing the Invisalign tray before smoking and re-wearing it after brushing their teeth is harmless. However, you should be aware that the tar, nicotine, tobacco, and other toxins left behind by cigarettes can wreak havoc on your teeth. The trapped nicotine and tobacco can cause tooth discoloration, enamel erosion, periodontal disease, etc.
How to Prevent Invisalign Stains
Various causes can cause stains to accumulate around orthodontic appliances. If you have plaque-related stains surrounding your braces, you can eliminate them with proper oral hygiene or professional teeth cleaning once your orthodontic treatment is complete.
Conversely, detecting “white spots” around the braces indicates the beginning of the tooth decay process due to mineral loss from the teeth. Therefore, white spot lesions should be considered seriously, and dental care should be sought immediately.
How Long Should I Give Up Smoking?
Patients who smoke are advised to quit for the length of their Invisalign treatment.
The time required to complete treatment depends on the specific demands of each patient. Some patients obtain their desired outcomes in approximately six months, but others must wear aligners for more than a year. Therefore, smokers should be prepared to abstain from cigarettes for an extended period.
Frequently, quitting smoking several weeks or months before treatment makes it easier to avoid smoking during treatment. If you need assistance quitting smoking, you may wish to chat with your primary care physician about drugs or other resources that can assist you.
Consult with Kumra Ortho to learn more about can you smoke with Invisalign
If you’re a smoker and are considering Invisalign, it’s important to consult with your dentist about the best way to quit smoking for the duration of your treatment. Quitting smoking will improve your oral health, but it will also help ensure that you get the best results from your Invisalign aligners. At Kumra Ortho, we want our patients to have a life-changing experience with Invisalign, which includes making sure they understand all of the ins and outs of this treatment.

I am working on this, but in the meantime, download this:
Place the contained file in your Applications folder and remove the unsightly RT app. Set both the apps in the download folder to open at startup. You can either delete or keep the Ralink app you already have as the one in the folder is the same.
Basically I cleaned up the RT app and set it to run hidden in the background so it cannot be seen. It should work though. Let me know how it goes. If it works for you I will add it to the installer and clean things up.
Fantastic no more Ralink utility on startup !
Got this working with Edimax EW-7711UTn
Wireless nLITE Mini-size USB Adapter
which is a tiny USB dongle.
Couldn't fit a Broadcom mini PCIe in an ASUS UL50Ag not enough space on the motherboard
Very nice to have the airport icon in the menubar too

(WHDH) — A new study shows that humans are hardwired to fear spiders and snakes.
Results from the Max Planck Institute and Uppsala University reveals that 6-month-old babies respond negatively to pictures of spiders and snakes compared to similarly colored images of fish and flowers.
Researchers think we’re born fearing creepy crawlies because we’ve lived with them for millions of years longer than modern predators.

I'm "plumb tuckered out", as my grandma used to say, so I am doing a re-post today.
I posted this last year after attending our West Virginia Writer's Conference in Cedar Lakes.
I hope you enjoy it and comment, it has some very good advice on writing.
Here is a group picture of the attendees of her workshop. Cheryl is the tall lady in the middle, I am in the pink shirt beside of her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. She came with a pile of picture books to share with us. She read a few of her favorites.
She told us something that I think is very hard to do. She said to find the holes in the market - find what hasn't been written. I think this applies to all genres of writing, don't you?
She showed us some books that she stated when she first saw them, she didn't think they were the greatest. But when she read them to small children, they loved them!
They shouted out answers when she read the text to them!
They became involved in the reading!
They wanted it read over and over again!
I think that is what we want to accomplish with any of our books. We want our reader to become involved with the story and for them to want to read it over and over again.
One of her favorite books : THE DOT
If you write picture books, but haven't read this one, go to the library and check it out.
It is so simple, yet so good!
Some very good advice from her:
Start your story on a day that something is different in their life.
Ending should be expected, but a surprise.
As you can see, I think you can take this information and apply it to whatever type of writing you do, whether it be for adults or children.
Some of Cheryl's published books are:
Flea Circus Summer,
Venola in Love, and
Venola the Vegetarian
Her stories introduce you to Venola May Cutright, a spunky 11 year old girl.
I hope you read something from this post that will help you with your writing.
Happy Writing! And, I hope to see some of you at the Writing Conference on June 4 at Cedar Lakes. | <urn:uuid:023968c5-268a-4899-b21c-ba514e029058> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://janetsmart.blogspot.com/2011/06/writing-wednesday.html | 2018-03-24T12:05:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257650262.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324112821-20180324132821-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.980871 | 472 |
Radiohead – The King Of Limbs
On February 14th, 2011, Radiohead launched their Valentine Project, ‘The King Of Limbs’. It was the announcement of Radiohead’s 8th studio album. The album was supposed to be released digitally on February 19th and pre-orders were available starting the 14th.
Fans had two main options for pre-ordering. A digital album or a Newspaper album. In both cases the album would be made available starting Saturday the 19th, the Newspaper album is set to ship on May 9th, 2011, containing two 10″ vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve, a CD and large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
The King Of Limbs will, however, be on general release on CD and 12” vinyl in all music stores and digital retailers from March 28th. As with their previous album ‘In Rainbows’ the band will partner with XL Recordings (TBD Records in the USA & Canada and Hostess Entertainment in Japan & Asia).
With everything ready on their website on Friday February 18th, the band decided to bring forward the release by a day rather than wait until the planned date of Saturday, Feb 19 to deliver the music.
It’s Friday… It’s almost the weekend…It’s a full moon….
You can download ‘The King of
Limbs’ now if you so wish!
Thank you good people for waiting … Have a great weekend wherever you are….
As rumoured in the week of the announcement the album turned out to have 8 tracks. Not all of the 8 tracks are entirely new. We have heard half of them before, in one form or another. Lotus Flower, Morning Mr. Magpie and Give Up The Ghost have all been played live before, either on a webcast or live show. Closing track of The King Of Limbs, Separator, has been played live as Mouse Dog Bird at Thom Yorke’s Green Party benefit in Cambridge last year.
Radiohead – The King Of Limbs
Here’s what’s inside; the artwork and the credits, which actually include the name of Drew Barrymore
There’s been some speculation on the contents of the album, expecting a bit more than the eight tracks that have been made available digitally last month. But this edition of The King Of Limbs has those same eight tracks. The cd is housed in a 4-page wallet, with the actual cd in a slit on the right side. On the left page you can see 8 illustrations accompanied by the following titles; Roots Of Roots, Ragnorok, Urpflanze, The King Of Limbs, Codex, Axis Mundi, Yggdrasil and Arbor Philosophica. The albums credits are below. The back has the word RADIOHEAD mirrored and the track list. Catalogue number is TICK001CD.
For the vinyl (TICK001LP) expect the same front and back as the cd. The actual record is housed in an inner sleeve with a drawing (like the right page on the cd edition) on one side, and the drawings and credits on the other side. Inside the sleeve you’ll find a card with a download code to obtain the digital edition of The King Of Limbs.
Expect the same edition of the CD and Vinyl in all territories as all labels (XL Recordings, TBD Records, Hostess Entertainment) have their logo’s on the back. There’s one other logo, which is Ticker Tape Ltd. It looks like this is the name of the band’s own label and publisher.
And last, but not least, the credits: The music and sounds of The King Of Limbs were conjured up by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich. The imagery was summoned up by Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain. Engineered and mixed by Nigel Godrich. Additional engineering by Drew Brown. Additional assistance by Darrell Thorp and Bryan Cooke. Flugelhorn on Bloom and Codex performed by Noel Langley and Yazz Ahmed. Strings on Codex performed by The London Telefilmonic Orchestra, led by Levine Andrale and conducted by Robert Ziegler. Mastered by Robert C. Ludwig at Gateway Mastering & DVD. Also thanks to Peter Yozell, and Neil Whitcher. Studio equipment etc., kept going by Plank. Ourselves kept going by Kat and Tim. And our office! A big thank you very much indeed to Drew Barrymore. This one’s for new Henry, Zohar and all our little ones. Hello Guys
As you’ve noticed no recording location has been given, but thanking Drew Barrymore might confirm the earlier rumours that the album was indeed recorded at Barrymore’s house. Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain are credited for the artwork, who are obviously the new alter egos of Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.
Radiohead released The King Of Limbs on Monday, March 28th in Europe and Tuesday, March 29th in North America. Several countries have an earlier street date: Friday, March 25th. | <urn:uuid:98ad8e72-d859-40dc-b154-e9b07aab2907> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.ateaseweb.com/radiohead-discography/radiohead-the-king-of-limbs/ | 2016-10-25T20:56:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720380.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00088-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951286 | 1,097 |

Our Best Selling Bracelet Has a Brand New Look!
The Motherhood Bracelet has been a fan favorite and our best selling piece since day one! Everyone loves the special meaning behind those rose quartz beads and it is given as a gift to moms and their girls time and time again.
Because of this, we decided to give it a fresh new look for 2021! Version 2 of our “Motherhood Bracelet” and “Motherhood Bracelet (child size)” are now available in our shop. Keep reading to learn what looks different and why.
Whats different about the new Motherhood Bracelet?
- It’s daintier - we swapped 6 mm beads for 4 mm beads. This makes the bracelet look better stacked, and now matches the beads on the child-size version perfectly.
- It has a new charm - we replaced the larger gold-plated feather charm with a smaller gold-filled charm. The new charm will not tarnish over time, and is less likely to snag when being active.
- It has a more finished look - we added 2 gold-filled round beads close to the clasp, and moved the placement of the charm to give it a more finished look.
- It is more customizable - we increased the extension chain from ¾ inches to a full 1 inch to accommodate for varying sized wrists. Our new bracelet is 6.5 inches at the first link, and 7.5 inches at the last link.
Whats different about the new Motherhood Bracelet (child size)?
- It gets a charm too! - our original version did not have a feather charm, but due to popular demand our new version has a charm as well
- It matches perfectly with the adult size - same size beads, same charm, same extension chain just all in a smaller size bracelet.
- It has a more finished look - just like our adult version, we added 2 gold-filled round beads close to the clasp and placed the charm on the end of the extension chain for a more finished look.
- One size fits all - Instead of having 4 different child-sizes with ½ inch extension chains to choose from, now there is just one size which includes a full 1 inch extension chain. Our new bracelet is 5.5 inches at the first link and 6.5 inches at the last link, and fits most children age 3-12 years. | <urn:uuid:b524f899-4ef6-4529-82a4-56f5620e746c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://shopfeatherandrose.com/blogs/feather-rose/introducing-version-2-of-our-best-selling-bracelet | 2022-10-06T01:08:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337680.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005234659-20221006024659-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.924992 | 501 |

The Suspect: The Rocketboys
The band was formed in West Texas when its members met up while attending Abilene Christian University. Their first studio EP was an immediate success, and a few of the songs were featured on the television shows Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Real World. Paste Magazine featured the band’s latest release, 20,000 Ghosts, in its Artist Discovery Series, and writes, “Ghosts’ rich textures and well-crafted harmonies meld the tracks together into a cohesive, ebbing whole.”

The Suspect: The Crystal Method
They’ve been labeled as America’s answer to the Chemical Brothers, but this dance-based electronic duo out of L.A. have established their own unique identity. Their debut album, Vegas, released in 1997, is now certified platinum, and their single, Keep Hope Alive, has been mixed and remixed dozens of times. Their most recent release, Divided by Night, features collaborations with New Order’s Peter Hook and rapper Matisyahu.

Formed in Texas in 2002, this bluegrass band was one of the more “buzzed-about” groups of this year’s Merlefest.

If you travel up the Douglas Channel, the 140-kilometre fjord that joins Kitimat to the Pacific Ocean, your mind is unlikely to be on Alberta’s tar sands. Maybe you are there to see some of its pristine wilderness or even catch a glimpse of the rare white Kermode (spirit) bear. Or you might be there to catch some of the huge Chinook or Coho salmon in one of BC’s premier fishing grounds. Tourism and the fishery are big business in the area. Both rely on being situated on one of the world’s great stores of biodiversity, the Galapagos of the North: coastal British Columbia.
As you travel up the magnificent fjord your mind is unlikely to be on the tar sands, but maybe it should be. Eight oil and gas projects proposed for BC’s north coast not only threaten to bring tar sands crude to the area, but tar sands problems as well.
Although there is a lot of talk about the money generated by Alberta’s oil patch, many British Columbians think of our cousins in Fort McMurray as somewhat poorer. The tar sands are a distant and dirty place, a boomtown where the quality of life of the inhabitants and the integrity of the environment has been sacrificed to capitalize on the temporary economic gains of a world near peak oil production. As the social and physical infrastructure strains under the pressure of runaway development of oil and gas, even the residents of Fort McMurray are crying for a halt to the unfettered growth.
In BC we celebrate our glacier-tipped mountains, our salmon streams, and our ancient forests. The tar sands have “overburden,” tailing ponds, and strip mines. A tar sands mine is a barren moonscape. Overburden (what scientists and wildlife call boreal forest), including all the soil and vegetation, is stripped away to reveal the bituminous clay. Tailing ponds, massive lakes of toxic waste water, have now grown large enough to be visible from space. For each barrel of oil produced, two to five barrels of waste water are left behind. Four tonnes of earth are dug up to produce that same barrel of oil. Shovels the size of a two-car garage fill mining trucks weighing as much as two fully loaded 747s and remove enough “overburden” to fill BC Place every two days. The tar sands are devastating their local environment.
Driving climate change
But their impact doesn’t stop there. The tar sands’ global legacy is it’s contribution to climate change. The sands only give up their oil through energy-intensive processing. The oil has to be steamed out of the sand. To produce one barrel of oil takes enough natural gas to heat the average house for a day and a half. It takes three to four times more energy to extract a barrel of tar sands crude than it does to extract a barrel of conventional oil. Every single barrel of oil produced creates 80 kg of carbon emissions-more than the average car produces driving from Vancouver to Whistler and back. Tar sands production currently tops 1.1 million barrels a day. If the oil industry has its way that number will be closer to five million by 2030.
But wait a minute, weren’t we just on the Douglas Channel, taking in the spectacular mountain scenery? What could be further from the strip mines of Fort McMurray? What’s the link? The link of course is pipelines.
The massive expansion of the tar sands can only take place if there is a way to get the oil to market. Currently this means piping the oil south to the U.S., but fossil fuel companies want to open up new pipeline routes to the north coast of BC. From Kitimat, oil tankers can ship tar sands crude to new markets in Asia, most notably China.
There and back again
Proposed tar sands infrastructure on the coast of BC doesn’t stop there, though. The tar sands itself is a hungry beast. The oil it produces is too thick to flow through pipelines and needs to be diluted by a toxic chemical brew called condensate (a kerosene-like by-product of natural gas). Condensate from Russia and other natural gas producers is to be shipped to Kitimat, and each crude oil pipeline proposal from the tar sands is twinned with a condensate pipeline travelling east. Imported shipments of condensate have in fact already started arriving at Kitimat’s Methanex/Encana terminal and are currently being sent on to Fort McMurray by rail.
And then there are the tar sands operations energy needs. It takes huge quantities of natural gas to heat the water used to steam the oil out of the ground. Kitimat LNG and Westpac Terminals LNG in Prince Rupert are vying for the privilege of importing liquefied natural gas (LNG), which could be used to facilitate the runaway development of Canada’s worst polluter. Why?
It is much easier to see what BC stands to lose than what it stands to gain from these proposed projects. The pipelines themselves, travelling 1,100 km from Alberta to coastal BC, traversing mountain ranges and crossing over 1,000 rivers and streams, pose a major environmental hazard themselves, but the biggest and most obvious threat to our coast is from oil and gas tankers.
For the projects to go through, the thirty-five-year-old moratorium on oil tanker traffic along BC’s coast would have to be lifted. In place since 1972, the Federal government last considered lifting the ban in the 1980s. Then the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Prince William Sound spilling 257,000 barrels (41.5 million litres) of oil and leaving a devastating legacy of damage still felt today.
The Exxon Valdez oil spill sticks out in our mind as one of the most environmentally destructive spills in history. In the world of oil spills it ranks only as the 53rd largest. Its disproportionate impact relates to the wealth of the west coast marine environment.
If the current coastal oil and gas proposals go ahead, each year we could see 320 tankers the size of the Exxon Valdez winding along the labyrinthine coastline of BC, through grey whale migratory routes, past approximately 650 salmon spawning rivers, through feeding grounds for humpback and orca whales. The tankers will travel past the tip of Gil Island, resting place of the sunken ferry Queen of the North. They will travel through waters that are home to the 1.7-billion dollar west coast fishery, the same waters that 500,000 cruise ship passengers travel each year to Prince Rupert. A spill in these waters would spell disaster.
When, not if
A spill is more a question of when, and how large, than if. Industry averages suggest there will be a spill of over 1,000 barrels (over 159,000 litres) every 2 to 3 years, and a major spill of over 10,000 barrels (1.59 million litres) every 6-7 years. Transport Canada estimates that there will be about a hundred minor spills and ten moderate spills a year. The entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound is noted for its submerged pinnacles of rock and extreme weather conditions. The tanker industry considers a 15% spill clean-up a success in ideal conditions. The conditions in coastal BC are far from ideal.
So what is the upside? This is one area where the traditional jobs vs. the environment argument doesn’t hold. After a short-lived construction boom, there will only be a handful of full-time jobs. Enbridge Gateway, the largest pipeline project and the one furthest along in the regulatory process, promises seventy-five full time jobs throughout BC, thirty in Kitimat. By contrast, 16,000 people are currently employed in the west coast fishery.
Despite the huge risks, and despite both the provincial and federal governments’ recent rhetoric on climate change and the environment, neither government is willing to stand up and defend the tanker moratorium. Documents obtained by Dogwood Initiative under the Freedom of Information Act show that the BC Government has offered to assist Enbridge in its bid to have tankers ply BC’s coastal waters. The documents claim the moratorium only applies to “foreign” oil tankers transiting the coast on th
eir way to Alaska, not domestic tankers bound for BC’s own coast. Though patently absurd, the BC government’s statements point to the vulnerability of a moratorium that was laid out in policy, but never legislated.
The federal Conservatives have remained quiet on the matter, but are allowing pipeline projects to go ahead. Their natural allegiance to the oil and gas industry is perhaps tempered by polls commissioned by Dogwood Initiative showing 75% of British Columbians of all political stripes support a ban on oil tankers in northern waters.
You can stop the tankers
Stopping the foray of the tar sands into our wild and beautiful coast may seem like a mammoth task, but it is a strong case for how a little organized local action can make a huge difference to carbon emissions and the environment. It shows how protecting our livelihoods can help protect the world for future generations.
The future of the tanker moratorium can be decided by just two men: Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources and MP for Saanich and the Gulf Islands. The lone Conservative MP on the BC coast, Gary Lunn would no doubt like to keep his job. It’s time to tell him he’ll lose it if he fails to support and strengthen the moratorium on oil tankers. | <urn:uuid:67cf1e79-9495-473c-8b39-83b7c91f982d> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://dogwoodbc.ca/news/tarsandstokitimat/ | 2018-03-17T22:07:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645362.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20180317214032-20180317234032-00646.warc.gz | en | 0.944687 | 1,995 |
My first favourites post of 2017 – how exciting! It’s a packed edition this month, so grab a brew and get comfy for my January Favourites.
First up is a product that’s not technically mine – it belongs to my lovely wife and I just cannot resist it. The Sleepy Body Lotion from LUSH contains almond oil, relaxing lavender and tonka and it smells amazing. I find that is has such a calming effect and massaging this into my skin before going to bed has become part of my nightly ritual.
We were lucky enough to get this half price in the LUSH sale, but after trying it I’d happily pay out double to get my hands on some more now!
Spectrum Brushes & Bag (£39.99/brushes, £16.99/bag)
One of my many Christmas presents from Lex this year was a set of Spectrum brushes and a gorgeous marble bag – how lucky am I?! They are so pretty that it took me a good two weeks to properly use them.
Although the set included 10, I’ve been sticking to A01 (domed powder), A05 (small angled), B01 (flat top buffer) and B03 (buffing concealer). They are soft and fantastically easy to use – I actually look forward to putting my makeup on with these! They’re also vegan and cruelty free which just adds to the allure of them.
The marble bag is also to die for – lined with pale grey silk, it’s taken up residence on my bedside table packed with my evening skincare products and it looks fab.
Spectrum Brush Cleaner (£9.99/each)
How adorable is this brush cleaner?
This quirky little shell is what I use along with the Real Techniques brush gel to clean all of my brushes, and it works so well. It’s hard to describe how it works, so straight from the lovely Spectrum website:
Lather and foam using the smaller bumps, and for a deeper clean work the bristles into the grooves, then simply rinse and lay brushes flat to dry.
Zoella Hungry Hands (£3.65/90ml)
I’ll be honest – this is the first and only product from the Zoella range that I have tried, and I have to say that I really love it! In winter my hands and nails are often dry and brittle, so I picked this up on a whim to try.
It smells absolutely amazing – not overpoweringly sweet or strong and it actually smells like fresh gingerbread. I pop this on every night before bed and as soon as I wake up in the morning, and my hands are velvety soft. To be honest I wasn’t really expecting much from this but I’m pleasantly surprised and it’s made me want to try more products from the range.
Ouai Wave Spray (£22/150ml)
My beautiful mum recommended the Ouai Wave spray to me a few months ago, but it’s only over Christmas and New Year that I properly started to use it and I totally regret not trying it sooner.
Made with rice proteins instead of salt for beachy waves without any stiffness, this doesn’t weigh the hair down in the slightest. When left to dry my natural hair is unruly and frizzy, but this spray helps to reduce flyaways and tame my curls whilst adding volume and shine.
It is quite expensive if you’re on a budget but if you do feel like splashing out I promise you that this is worth it!
Candy Mountain (£2.95/each)
As much as I love trying LUSH products, I generally stick to old favourites when it comes to bubble bars such as The Comforter and Creamy Candy.
This year however I decided to pick up a few Candy Mountain’s and I have truly enjoyed a change.
When held under running water it gently bubbles and produces a very sweet scent that reminds me of Snow Fairy. It’s not overpowering in the slightest, leaves my skin feeling silky soft and I find that I can get two baths from one bar – whats not to love?!
Ritual of Sakura Body Cream (£6/70ml or £19.50/220ml)
My final and favourite beauty product this month is this organic rice milk & cherry blossom body cream by Rituals. This is a rich, nourishing cream with a unique scent – I’ve never smelt anything like it.
A little of this really goes a long way and leaves me with super soft, moistured skin. It’s comforting and calming and has made me want to explore the entire Ritual of Sakura body range.
Marshmallow fireside candle (£2.99/each)
The very last favourite of this month is a candle from none other than B&M! I’d read a few reviews of these before I’d even seen them and after hearing that they’re a good Bath and Bodyworks dupe I immediately made a beeline for them when I saw my local B&M had stock.
I can’t think of any other way to describe this one – it simply smells like fire! It’s very woody and smoky, and as I’ve never tried a candle like this before it took me a while to figure out how I felt about it. I’m glad I gave it a chance though, as I’ve gone through two in the month of January alone.
It has a dual wick and burns extremely well without tunnelling. If you want a winter candle that is a little unusual and you don’t want to spend a lot then I would definitely recommend this one.
And that, my loves, is it! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this post and as always, let me know what you think and what your favourites are. | <urn:uuid:7e6c0a7e-325c-4436-a15e-c35dead269af> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://calamityray.co.uk/beauty/january-favourites-2017/ | 2018-02-19T02:17:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812306.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219012716-20180219032716-00382.warc.gz | en | 0.956238 | 1,245 |

Nehrustan Implements Minimum Wage Law
Many years ago and after innumerable debates, the Government of Nehrustan, Mr. Bambani (who owns a textile mill) and Mr. Kirana (the shop owner who sells Bambani Industries’ products) convinced the remaining 8 citizens that allowing Wal-Mart to enter Nehrustan will hurt Mr. Kirana’s & Mr. Bambani’s respective businesses as Wal-Mart will sell the same products for less. As a result, the remaining 8 agreed to shell out more money to keep Mr. Kirana and Mr. Bambani in business. Yes, that’s right.
Although Nehrustan’s first prime minister, Mr. Lal Jawahari (pronounced Al Jawahari) never allowed FDI in the kirana store sector, his daughter, late Mrs. Andhi permitted FDI in some strategic sectors. But that’s a discussion for another day.
Now after all these years, Nehrustan is again at the cross roads as it debates implementing a minimum wage law that would require employers to pay its workers a minimum of Rs 250 per month. To move forward in this direction, the Government of Nehrustan has bestowed upon me, the responsibility to seek citizen feedback on the proposed minimum wage law.
My sources tell me that this decision was taken in light of threats issued by a key coalition ally and firebrand leader Ms Mao’s Mummyjee, who has threatened to pull out of the government if it does not implement the minimum wage law. Ms Mummyjee’s concern is exploitation of industrial and domestic workers, a concern also shared by a group of intellectuals working under the umbrella organization, Narniya Advisory Concil. My sources also tell me that Prime Minister Mann Beiman Singh does not want to implement this law and that the views of party President, Ms Narniya Andhi, are not known.
As a pilot project, the Government intends to implement the minimum wage law in Indirapur, a small city on the western coast of Nehrustan. Although it’s not relevant to the issue at hand, readers may like to know that rich and famous of this City live in the posh Sonjaville neighborhood while the rest live in Kalavatinagar. More information on the residents of Indirapur is presented in Table 1. Table 1 also shows income for each resident for the month of January.
I contacted critics of this law who strongly voiced their concerns. One such critic responded with the following argument.
“The proposed minimum wage law is going to wreak havoc on the weaker workers. Consider this. In Indirapur, Mrs NamalKath has employed Mrs King and Mrs Shrewdball as maids. She pays them Rs 125 each. Let’s see what happens after this law is implemented as against if its not.
Scenario 1: With Minimum Wage Law
Once this law comes into effect, Mrs. NamalKath will have to let either Mrs King or Mrs Shrewdball go because the cost of employing both of them would now be Rs 500, twice of what she pays currently. According my sources, Mrs NamalKath is likely to let Mrs Shrewdball go because I am told the latter’s work is virtually notional. That is not all. Mr NamalKath just won a new Rs 1,100 contract from the Municipal Corporation of Indirapur which requires him to finish the work in one month. If the minimum wage bill is passed, Mr. NamalKath can only employ only 4 workers (Rs 250 x 4 = Rs 1,000), as he pockets Rs 100 as profit (or 10%). Union leaders Mr. Lipot and Mr. Dandiya obviously select themselves leaving the other four to fight for two vacancies. That means a total of 4 workers could be unemployed in February if this law is passed. Table 2 summarizes the incomes for residents of Indirapur under this scenario.
Under Scenario 1, Indirapur’s income drops 5.1% in February even as the top two richest person and the labor union leaders still make the same. As you can see, this minimum wage law will hurt only the poor not Mr. NamalKath, the richest person in town, not the store owner Mr. Kirana and not even the labor union leaders. Another important thing to consider is that exploitation will likely increase if this law is passed because one month’s work will have to be completed by 4 workers.
Gini coefficient is usually considered a good measure of income disparity. Higher the Gini coefficient, higher is the income disparity. The Gini coefficient for Scenario 1 is 1.09. Now let’s look at Scenario 2.
Scenario 2: Without Minimum Wage Law
In the absence of this law, Mr. NamalKath can employ any number of people he wants, even all 7 (even the NREGA worker) if he wants. This means he can distribute the work load a little more evenly. This scenario is summarized in Table 3.
As you can see, the overall income for Indirapur drops 5.1%; the same as Scenario 1 (if the law is passed). However, what’s important to note is that the Gini coefficient drops to 1.03.
In summary, if the law is not going to change the overall income levels, but will increase income disparity and unemployment, do we need it? Tell me Monsoon, do we need this law?”
I am really confused. I have heard arguments both for and against this law but I still don’t know what I should report back to the government. That is why, I, ace journalist, Monsoon Hut, ask you the reader, what should I tell them?

We all know that it’s very easy to sell something to someone who has no information than to have success with someone who is knowledgable. The Simms Clothing company has as its motto, “An educated consumer is our best customer.” They mean, of course, that people who are knowledgeable about high quality clothing will recognize the bargains at Simms’ as being good ones.
If you don’t know what “high quality” is you can buy “off the shelf” and think you are getting a bargain when you are just being ripped off. But quality costs more because it is quality. When it comes to services rather than goods, that’s even more importantly true.
If you “price shop” for a service you are making a big mistake. Singing teachers are not brands of laundry detergent. It would be much more useful to save up for one or two lessons with a well-established, highly regarded expert than to buy whatever is “inexpensive” in bulk. You might learn more from two really excellent lessons from a master teacher than from a dozen from someone who barely knows what’s what.
If you are being told that you can learn “all you need to know” in a few short lessons you should be highly suspicious. Be wary of all “the 10 best tips” people. There is nothing worthwhile that can be learned through 10 best tips, or 40 best tips, or even 500 best tips, although that larger number might be more useful, especially if the tips came from a real expert.
Recently I had a student who had studied seriously elsewhere and came to me with a number of significant technical problems. Breathing and coordination issues, tone quality problems and lack of awareness just generally. This was a large-framed person with an overly forward sound, a tight throat and less than stellar control over either body or throat. Still, progress was being made, sometimes significantly, and there was talent there and a lot of vocal potential. Then, just as things were beginning to turn around, the student disappeared to work with someone else. Happens. Is that other person going to know what to do? The best odds are only 50/50. That’s quite a risk to take if you have just started to get over your problems.
But some individuals like their problems. They enjoy the struggle. They identify with it. Maybe their “not-so-great” vocal behaviors were not, in fact, unconscious or accidental but deliberate. Maybe the singer has no clear idea of what encompasses good vocal production or free singing. Maybe someone else was very flattering in lessons and that ploy worked well enough to pull the student away.
In the end, you do not have an unlimited number of years to get things right and get out into the world as a professional singer. If you come to New York City and you have various technical issues you can’t spend forever fixing what’s wrong. There are too many folks who arrive here without those challenges who are your competition and they will be spending time learning rep while you are trying to figure out how to use your voice and body properly and get a better, freer sound. The worse off you are, the more you are vulnerable to becoming the victim of vocal “snake oil” salesmen.
If you get sold a bill of goods because you did not do “due diligence” regarding investigating your singing teacher comparing him or her to others with more experience, more skill and a more reliable reputation over many many years, it becomes your own fault if you get taken advantage of as you study. Be careful. Think. Use your eyes and ears. | <urn:uuid:b859f520-15ee-4646-a281-4b6fb0748a91> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://somaticvoicework.com/sold-bill-goods/ | 2018-10-24T03:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583518753.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20181024021948-20181024043448-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.980558 | 770 |
FUNKY FANATICS WEDNESDAY
NBA PLAYERS SCREAM THAT RUSHED TRAINING CAMP AND FREE AGENCY PERIOD
CREATES “BALL OF CONFUSION”
The 1970 Temptations classic “Ball of Confusion” almost seems to convey the message recently vocalized by players upset with the politics of the NBA which has resulted in an ominously short traiining camp, teams training without a full compliment of players and some bizarre decisions by the league office concerning Chris Paul. The league office has taken on the role of general manager, some would say poorly, for the league-owned Charlotte Hornets. Through David Stern, the league has made some questionable decisions which ultimately hold up some player movement until the Chris Paul matter is resolved or abandoned temporarily.
Amongst those who have complained about Stern are the Celtiics stars, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Kevin Garnett dropped this hilariously funky, funny analogy to explain how much the current training schedule impacts the teams:
“Timing is everything. Chemistry is something that you don’t just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y’all know what I’m talking about. If y’all can’t cook, this doesn’t concern you.” Garnett said,
I guess what he is trying to say if there is no chemistry to your ingredients and you just throw stuff in the mix, you just get a ball of confusion.
Note: This Temptation hit followed the slightly funkier “Psychedelic Shack” and the record featured a baseline by Funk Brother Bob Babbit. | <urn:uuid:2c4abbce-f085-4955-a563-724f647c58e1> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://knicksfanaticsblog.com/2011-articles/funky-wednesday-ball-of-confusion-with-temptations.html | 2014-09-21T08:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657135080.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011215-00201-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932622 | 402 |

On our way home from Europe, we had to fly to New York City to make a connection to Toronto. We could have flown directly from Heathrow to Pearson, but that cost an extra thousand dollars for the four of us, and we figured we could do a LOT with a thousand bucks on our holiday. (This becomes relevant later.)
The flight from Heathrow to JFK was fine, but when we got into New York the airport was in chaos; there had been some terrible thunderstorms in the area, with them getting more rain in one day than they'd ever had since they'd been keeping records. Every flight in the place was cancelled, including ours. And, the young woman behind the counter, who clearly thought I was being unreasonble and a total downer for harshing her buzz, said that she couldn't find us another flight for 24 hours. I wanted to kill myself, except at JFK, they would charge you something for that.
After chasing a hotel room, fruitlessly, for an hour or so (including a $30 round trip taxi ride for nothing) we looked at each other and concluded we were going to have to sleep in the airport. Thing 1 was a bit upset at this prospect ("It's like we're homeless!") and Thing 2 thought it would give her some serious street cred for having slept in public in New York City.
But then I realized were were going to have to spend another whole freaking day in that same stupid airport, and nearly lost my shit altogether. That's when I bought a bottle of water for 5 dollars and realized that waiting for this flight would cost us as much at 2 weeks in Europe.
We did find a place to settle down, at least; a bench with some padding meant that we weren't sleeping on marble floors. (50 year old backs + rock hard surfaces = cripples for days.) There were plenty of other people sleeping in the airport too, so it wasn't like we were the only ones there. But it did feel a little creepy, sleeping out in the open where anyone could come and go, and the homeless guys scratching their genitals and talking to themselves.
Airports are fairly noisy places, what with the flight announcements and the security check points. Oh, and the airport personnell who have to shout to their friends on the other end of the concourse to see who gets their break next. Yes, I could not get enough of that.I eventually gave up on sleep and took out my book to read; between my 20's and having young children, it certainly wouldn't be the first night I'd lost out on sleep; I'd live.
Around 4 o'clock in the morning, the Mister and looked at each other and figured that thousand bucks on that direct flight would have been very well spent.
Around 6 in the morning, the Mister and I decided to move over to the terminal we would be flying out of, and at least see if they would check in our luggage for us; we were tired of dragging it around.
You know, the people at JFK are just so pleasant, and nice and helpful. Just kidding. They are horrible; mean and surly and shouty. The woman at the check-in counter looked at me like I was an idiot and asked why I was waiting for the 8 pm flight and not trying to get stand-by seats for the 8:20 A.M flight. "Because the snot-bag I talked to last night didn't even tell me there was an 8:20 a.m flight" I replied, except I substituted "woman" for "snot-bag". She sighed deeply, and shook her head at me, like she was sorry I was such a loser and she had to deal with me, and told me she would book us standby seats for the 8:20. I thanked her, and I was so happy to find out there was a possibility that I might get out of that hell-hole 12 hours earlier than anticipated, I even smiled at her and thanked her. (Which is forbidden at JFK Airport, just to tell you.)
We got to the gate, which was crowded and noisy, because approximately every single person in there was trying to get out. I asked the woman behind the counter at the gate how this stand-by thing worked, since I'd never done it before. She laconically said "we call your name". Now, I think I'd made it clear I'm new here, I haven't done this before and by the way, I had to sleep in an airport and watch a homeless guy scratch his genitals for the past 10 hours. You're going to have to put the dots real close together for me: "So, if you don't call my name?" I say, and she gets her eyes all wide and toggles her head from side to side and says in a sing-song voice: "Then you don't. Get on. The flight." I tell you, if I hadn't really, really needed her co-operation to get me the hell out of New York City, I'd have leapt over that counter and choked the living shit out of her. But I restrained myself.
I was pretty sure we'd never get on that flight: four seats that morning? No way. But, because I have good karma and I did not choke the shit out of that woman, she announced "all stand-by seats are confirmed, all stand-by passengers can board now." (So you don't call my name, you lying little shit!)
You have never seen four people dance onto a plane like the Loudshoes did that morning.
And when we arrived in Toronto, I wanted to lay down and kiss the ground. Except I was too busy finding the nearest Tim Hortons with my phone app. After loading up on cheap coffee and bottles of water that cost $1.35, we got in the van, and drove home.
We had a wonderful trip, truly a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. But walking in the door of my own house was one of the sweetest feelings ever. Ever. | <urn:uuid:4e6826d4-d39b-4bdd-bc52-c3a3cd143ac4> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://missusloudshoes.blogspot.com/2011/09/loudshoes-in-europe-part-9-trip-home.html | 2018-05-24T07:51:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866107.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524073324-20180524093324-00572.warc.gz | en | 0.989597 | 1,255 |
Last week Red Witchweed was found growing in a sugarcane crop, at Mackay, in Queensland.
Red Witchweed, a class 1 weed in Queensland and New South Wales, is a serious pest, which, in some cases, can stop the growth of sugarcane, cereal crops and legumes.
This is the first outbreak in Australia, however it could easily grow in our region and wreak havoc.
While the weed has been confirmed on one property, information to date suggests that the infestation may be on a small number of other properties in the immediate area.
Biosecurity Queensland has placed movement restrictions on the cane farm where the weed was confirmed.
Red witchweed (Striga asiatica) is a parasitic plant which grows attached to the roots of a ‘host’ plant. The weed then robs its host of water and nutrients, suppressing its growth.
The weed grows 20 cm to 40 cm tall and is distinguished from native species of witchweed by the calyx, which has 10 ribs. Native species have calyces with five ribs.
Leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. They are 6 mm-40 mm long and 1 mm-4 mm wide and have a tapered pointed tip.
Flowers are 5 mm-20 mm long and are usually red, but can be white, yellow or pink. Seeds are very small and remain viable in the soil for up to 15 years.
Land holders in Northern NSW are urged to report any suspect weeds to Far North Coast Weeds on 6623 3847

It's not a diagnosis any parent wants to hear. Adrenal Insufficiency. It's rare. People have no idea what it means and generally haven't heard of it. The assumption is if they haven't heard of it, it can't be too dangerous. The problem with adrenal insufficiency is that a child can go from normal to crisis in a very short amount of time. Some days are normal-ish and others yield roadblock after roadblock. This is a place to share stories, tips and information to help other parents facing similar challenges. We are not doctors, but we have seen quite a lot of them. We can't help diagnose or treat your child, but hopefully we can give you some resources that can help you find someone who can.
Adrenal Insufficiency is treatable. It can be severe. There will be emergencies, but those can be handled with the proper knowledge, awareness, and preparation. If you suspect your child has adrenal insufficiency, it is important to get medical treatment from a licensed physician.
There are support groups on various sites. There is a group on Facebook called Parents of Adrenal Insufficient Children. There are also forum sites on MDJunction (http://www.mdjunction.com/) for adrenal insufficiency and parents of adrenal insufficient children. | <urn:uuid:63fb233d-ebff-4cb5-9b2b-d5dec1274bb3> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://pediatricadrenalinsufficiency.blogspot.com/2011/02/adrenal-insufficiency.html | 2018-03-23T12:29:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648226.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323122312-20180323142312-00212.warc.gz | en | 0.970186 | 274 |

BRIDGEPORT — There are nights when the UConn women simply toy with their overmatched opponents, constricting them slowly into submission.
Normally, you'd expect these events to occur in November, when the nonconference schedule fills with tournaments like the World Vision Classic, the calzone stuffed with meatballs that UConn fans were forced to choke down Thanksgiving weekend.
You don't expect second-round NCAA games to play out so inelegantly, not even in these days when only five or six teams can compete for the championship.
Kansas State, a frequent visitor to Connecticut over the past 11 postseasons, finally got its chance to play UConn on Monday at the Webster Bank Arena. That's right, Wildcats, be careful what you wish for.
Truth is, the Wildcats didn't play the Huskies as much as they were devoured in as ugly a pounding as any decent team has taken during March Madness.
Final score: UConn 72, Kansas State 26. And that's being kind.
The 26 points, produced by a team that shot 17.5 percent from the field, were the fewest ever scored by a team in NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament history.
"I am beyond disappointed to have competed so ineptly in the spotlight," said Deb Patterson, the Kansas State coach. "They defeated us in every phase of the game. Why, I can't exactly tell you right now."
The Huskies (31-4) were led by Bria Hartley, who scored 16 points, 13 in the first half. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 15 points and Kiah Stokes scored a career-high 13 points, with nine rebounds, three blocked shots and 5-of-6 shooting from the field.
UConn outrebounded the Wildcats 45-32, and survived 16 turnovers by forcing 20.
Brittany Chambers led the Wildcats (20-14) with 11 points.
"We definitely did not look like the team we were all season long," Patterson said.
This win was fueled by defense — the nation's best against the field goal — that suffocated the Wildcats' offense in the first half.
"Our defense has to be this good," coach Geno Auriemma said. "For this to be successful, this is way we need to play."
Kansas State was 10-of-57 from the floor, 4-of-26 from three. It scored just 10 points in the first half, shooting 4-of-31.
"Our defensive effort tonight was about as good as I've seen us play all season," Auriemma said. "They had very few open looks. It was as aggressive a game as we've played [on defense] all year."
"When you don't have a lot of time to prepare for an opponent, you just hope the players pay attention to what you tell them. And they did."
Now the Huskies head to the Kingston Regional, beginning Sunday at the University of Rhode Island. They are two victories from their fifth straight Final Four, four victories from their eighth national championship.
UConn's involvement in the Sweet 16 is as close as it gets to a certainty in college athletics. The Huskies have played in one in every year since 1994, the year after Louisville defeated them in the first round.
"It was close to a perfect game defensively," Hartley said. "But there are always things you can do to improve."
At one point in the first half, Kansas State missed 18 straight field goals. So perhaps the most bizarre aspect of it all was that the Wildcats actually led 3-2 after a Chambers field goal with 19:28 to play in the first half.
The next time the Kansas State offense checked in was when Jalana Childs scored with 8:07 to play in the half. In that span of 11 minutes, 21 seconds, UConn built a 19-5 lead that continued to grow as the night grew long.
"They have five players committed to the defensive effort at all times," Chambers said. "You do not find a lot of holes there. When you play a defense like that, they make you do many things you don't necessarily want to do."
Example: Just moments after UConn grabbed a 30-point lead (38-8), the Wildcats averted history when Chambers hit a basket at the buzzer to cut the lead to 28 at the half.
Had that shot rimmed out, Kansas State would have tied Prairie View A&M, UConn's first-round victim, for the fewest points scored in a half in an NCAA game.
UConn, upset with the way it played defense in the first half against Prairie View A&M in Saturday's first-round win, was adamant about tightening the bolts.
"That kind of motivated us," Tiffany Hayes said.
Last season, Baylor held the Lady Panthers to eight points in a matchup of No. 1 and No. 16 seeds. If you care to play the home version of "Seven Degrees of Brittney Griner," you would discover that Baylor beat Kansas State three times this season by a combined 85 points.
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Editors’ Note: This is a guest post from Seth Johnston. Seth is a wily veteran of the basket-blog-o-sphere. This is Seth’s second contribution to The Diss. Follow him on Twitter here.
“If I don’t make it, after all this, I can at least sit back someday and tell my kids I tried.”
Akeem Scott does not have kids yet. But he does have an NBA dream, which he’s telling me about as we wait in line at a Blimpie’s in Boise Idaho. There is much to discuss; his has been a long, hard journey that included six years of shuffling between pro-teams abroad; a grind that came after being an overlooked high school prospect on a junior college team. Then there is his present, in which he is a thirty year-old point guard playing for the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA D-League at a pivotal moment of his career. He turned down the most lucrative offer he has ever received for this opportunity. Finally, there is his future, which may or may not include the realization of his dream. One thing that is certain is that his yet to be born children will have one hell of a role model for going all in on big dreams.
It is all too much for me to get to in one hour or so at Blimpies. Scott is in town for a season opening back to back against the Idaho Stampede and made time for me between his film session and pre-game shootaround. I step to the counter and place my order, a turkey and provolone one wheat with all the veggie fixings and extra mustard. I could have done better but there is no time for sandwich-based critical thinking. Scott doesn’t order—he has a team lunch coming up, another event looming on the itinerary.
I bring up Scott’s D-League debut the night before. He played well in the loss, scoring 13 points on 4-7 shooting to go with six assists in twenty minutes off the bench. It was a good first impression, important in a league where the goal is to stand out enough to turn the head of an NBA decision maker. To my surprise, he seemed agitated.
“I want to be known as a winner. I want people to say I win wherever I go. One difference between here and overseas, overseas sometimes if you don’t win, you don’t get paid. Guys get mad, guys want to leave, but they don’t pay you to play, they pay you to win. If the team isn’t winning they don’t want you there.”
I insist on praising his performance in last night’s game. I tell him what I saw: his smart, high energy, speedy style on both ends of the court, how he throws his body around. He’s effective and fun to watch, and I’m not the only one who has noticed. He thanks me, but he will not say that he played well if his team lost.
“Be efficient, come off the bench, make my free throws and open shots, play great defense, be a good teammate, that’s a role I can play.” Politely, he’s shifted the conversation to his value to an NBA team.
I grab my sandwich and we settle into a booth.
A lifelong, transient basketball underdog, Akeem Scott loves to fall down. Born and raised in New York City, he moved with his family to Virginia at the age of thirteen. Like many athletes Scott credits his style to pickup games against his older brother, five years his senior, and his brother’s bigger friends.
“My brother would tell them ‘Hey, if he’s playing with us, go at him like we do each other.’ I fell down all the time on concrete. That’s why falling on hardwood is fine to me. I like when I hit the ground hard and hear the crowd ‘Ooooh’, then bounce right back up. My brother watches me play and laughs: I play the same now as I did then.”
A childhood spent competing against bigger and stronger bodies prepared Scott for life as a six-foot tall basketball player, and by his senior year of high school he was a standout shooting guard. Talking about his high-school career Scott is encyclopedic, recalling high-level prospects and players whose names I never knew with equal detail.
He tells me about the highlight of his high school career, a post-season run that ended in a championship game heartbreaker. He still carries the lows of his high school career too, the accolades that failed to do justice to the star guard of a top team—Second Team AAA All-State, Honorable Mention All-Metro—and of the lack of interest from college recruiters.
After high school Scott took the best opportunity available to him and headed for Catonsville Community College in Maryland, a school competing at the Division II level of junior college. After one strong season at Catonsville, Scott moved on to Garrett College, another JUCO but one competing in a higher division. Again Scott impressed, was named an All-American, and at last had the attention of NCAA Division I basketball. He transferred to High Point University in North Carolina for his final two years of eligibility. In his senior season, he averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals per game. College degree in hand, he set out to become a professional basketball player.
Scott was already somewhat used to being on the move; he had split his childhood between New York and Virginia and his college career between Maryland and North Carolina. In the next phase of his life the shifts would be more frequent and greater, in both distance and culture, and be witnessed by stamps in a passport rather than exits on the Interstate. I ask how many countries he has played in.
“Pssssssssssh…..” Scott blows his lips and thinks for a moment. He has a better way of answering, “I have over fifty-five stamps in my passport,” he says.
Since we are talking passports I bring up that Scott has two of them, USA and Jamaica, the latter of which provided a key boost to his career. But before we can talk about Jamaica we have to talk about the country where Scott first played professionally; where he would transition from scoring guard to full-time point guard, where fans would chant his name, and where children would mob him after big wins. We had to talk about Finland.
Just as Division I college teams ignored Scott out of high school, big professional leagues ignored him out of college. Scott took the best offer he had, a tryout contract from a team based in the small Finnish town of Uusikaupunki. The contract was small in Euros but huge in that it kept the dream alive. Scott moved to Finland.
“Then I got cut,” is all he has to say about his introduction to professional basketball.
I emailed Mikko Taatila, a writer covering basketball in Finland at the time, who added “Akeem wasn’t a good fit with their coach back then and had to go after less than twenty games.” The team was losing and the coach wanted to start over. They don’t pay you to play, they pay you to win.
Scott returned to the United States with no leads on what to do next. He worked out constantly and added strength to his frame. He waited. Several months went by.
“I had some tough times that year. I didn’t know if anything would come.”
Scott recommitted to his faith and church community, a connection he maintains to this day. He waited some more. When his phone finally rang it was an invitation for a D-League tryout. The complication was that the tryout would cost money and Scott was running low.
“I emailed the coaches before I left. I told them I only have this much money, and if I travel to do this tryout I’ll have twenty dollars left in my bank account. I had to know they were real. They said they were.”
So he went.
Scott returned home after the tryout feeling good about his performance. While waiting on word from the D-League he received a surprise offer from Finland. This was a different team than he played with previously, and this one played in a lower division. The offer was smaller than the last in Euros but again, big in that it kept his dream alive. Scott jumped at the opportunity and was back in Finland by the time the D-League team invited him to join their training camp. In need of money and already having made the journey, Scott stayed in Finland. It would be five years before he would try out for a D-League team again.
Playing against the weaker talent in Finland’s lower division Scott averaged 29 points and 4 steals per game. As Taatila put it, “He pretty much took the team over and carried them to the top.”
Scott’s domination of lower division Finnish hoops was no surprise. The surprise would come next. Scott had attracted the attention of a team in the top division, a team wonderfully named the Espoo Honka Playboys. The Playboys were midway through their season and in need of a back-up point guard who could also be a running mate for first round NBA draft pick Petteri Koponen. They signed Scott.
“That’s when all that crazy stuff happened.”
All that crazy stuff is when Scott became a sort of folk hero of Finnish basketball. In his debut with the Playboys he scored 45 points and his tear continued into the post-season. By the championship game opposing fans were focusing their energies on him, chanting something Taatila translated into “Who the fuck is Akeem Scott, he’s a loser.” Scott wouldn’t learn the English translation of the taunt until after the game but heard his name and got the gist. He played into the crowd and they grew even more boisterous. The Playboys won and Scott was named MVP of the post-season and finals. Gloriously, highlights of that game and Scott’s triumphant post-game interview (“Don’t chant my name in no big game or this will happen to you”) are still available.
“Fans loved him, he’s so energetic and he plays so well when he gets the crowd going. After his first home game, there were dozens of little kids outside Honka’s locker room to get his autograph,” Taatila tells me of Scott’s time in Finland. To date Scott’s only presence on Wikipedia is on the Finnish language version of the site.
That season was more than the professional high of Scott’s career up to that point. The Playboys needed Scott to primarily play point-guard and with Koponen battling injuries that need became even more acute.
“It was hard. It’s really hard. You have to change everything,” Scott recalls.
The scoring guard to full-time point guard transition is attempted often. In Scott’s case a team need pushed him towards the change but the professional prospects of a six foot point guard are usually better than those of a six foot shooting guard, so it was worth the effort for Scott as well. The change in responsibilities—from primarily scoring to directing the team’s offense and creating for teammates in addition to scoring—is drastic enough that many don’t make the shift and lose their confidence in the process. Scott made the leap. Over the next two seasons, his final ones in Finland, he cemented the change.
After Finland Scott bounced around Eastern Europe—a season in Montenegro, partial seasons in Latvia and Ukraine—and perhaps would have remained on the Northern and Eastern Europe circuit for the rest of his career if not for the intervention of a government’s decision. Scott’s mother was Jamaican born and when Scott applied for dual citizenship Kingston granted it. The benefits to Scott’s basketball career were significant. First, it excluded him from counting towards the American player quotas adopted by many professional teams abroad to protect local jobs from American talent. Second, it made Scott eligible to play for Jamaica’s national team. Competing for a national team would keep Scott sharp during the professional off-season, introduce him to pro-teams in a new hemisphere, and by competing in large international tournaments against a healthy number of NBA players, offer a chance of greater exposure in the basketball world.
In 2010 Scott tried out for the Jamaican National Team and made the roster. In his first stint with the team he was named honorable mention at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games. The next two summers Scott would earn all-tournament and honorable mention honors in other international competition, securing his role as starting point guard. More importantly, he helped Jamaica qualify for the country’s first ever FIBA Americas tournament in 2013. At FIBA Americas Scott would encounter a new highpoint in his career. This time more people would be watching.
Jamaica surprised in the early goings of FIBA Americas by making it out of qualifying and into the second round. The highlight came with a surprise two point upset over Brazil, a victory Scott helped to seal by hitting two free-throws with four seconds remaining. Less known is that the upset happened on Scott’s thirtieth birthday. Several days later Jamaica notched another big win over Argentina, and while they would not advance to the next round Jamaica had established itself as a dangerous team to watch in the future.
As the point guard at the helm of a newly competitive national team Scott’s profile rose considerably. On the court, he earned respect from some of the NBA players he matched up against.
“They asked me why they didn’t know who I was and what pro-team I played for,” he says.
When those curious to learn about Jamaica’s fast and aggressive point guard checked into Scott they saw the resume of a tough and adaptable veteran. Following the tournament Scott received the largest contract offer of his career from a team in South America. He had also started hearing from the D-League again. Scott faced the choice of many professional basketball players: money abroad or exposure and much less money in the United States?
It was a hard decision. When Scott was twenty-five he chose the overseas job over the D-League out of economic necessity. Now he wondered if he could leave money on the table for the opportunity to be closer to the NBA. He went back and forth. A surprise encounter intervened.
“I ran into John Bryant in the Atlanta airport.”
John Bryant, life-long friend of Scott and newly named assistant coach of the Bakersfield Jam.
“We talked. He told me I have to take this. He convinced me, this was the opportunity I needed. If it weren’t for running into him at the airport I probably wouldn’t be here. I took a big pay cut. I admit that if it doesn’t work out I’ll lose some sleep.”
Being in the D-League Scott is in the procedural sense just a single step from an NBA roster. He plays in front of NBA scouts every game and only has to convince one team that he is worth extending an opportunity to. In the practical sense there are one hundred and fifty or so other talented D-League dreamers who are the same step away from their dream; and most of them are younger. Scott knows this, but if he were the type to be discouraged by long odds he would have never made it this far.
After impressing at the Jam tryout in Atlanta, Scott was invited to training camp. As camp wore on Scott was establishing a role for himself as a steady veteran hand on a team with an average age of 26. Then came the first bump in his D-League experience.
There is a type unpredictability that is unique to the D-League. At any given time an affiliated NBA team can send a player down from their roster. The NBA players are expected to play major minutes, and as a result some players already on the team will see their playing time reduced. The Jam have five NBA affiliates, no team in the D-League has more. If the Jazz, Raptors, Suns, Clippers, or Hawks believe a player on their roster will benefit from heavy minutes with the Jam they will send him down.
As camp came to a close the Hawks sent guard Jared Cunningham to the Jam. Cunningham, a first round draft-pick in 2012, is in the final season of his rookie deal after the Hawks declined the option to extend his contract. He is twenty-two years old, a phenomenal athlete, and is attempting the same scoring guard to point guard transition that Scott made earlier in his own career. Scott knows how difficult the change is and, as always, supports his teammate. He also knows his own minutes are reduced as a result.
“It’s tough, it’s a tough thing that none of us have control over.”
After five games Cunningham was called back up to the Hawks but in the same move the Hawks sent two other guards to the Jam. Not surprisingly Scott’s minutes were reduced even further. In the game before the Hawks sent down two players Scott tied his season high in minutes with 23, scoring 20 points on 8-11 shooting to go with 6 rebounds. In the following game, with two new guards on the roster, Scott was in street clothes. Game to game he has little idea what his minutes will be or even who he will share the court with. He can only make the most of it, as he certainly did with this dunk on Hilton Armstrong:
The inconsistency of his role is, of course, not to Scott’s liking. He has made it through tough situations before and perhaps one of his greatest skills is staying positive, something he works on just as much as physical conditioning.
“My faith, that helps a lot. Any other stuff to stay positive too, I’ll do it. I read The Secret, I’ll do anything. I laugh a lot.”
Scott projects an engaging combination of positivity and confidence that leads you to believe he is comfortably in control in any situation. It’s easy to imagine him adapting easily to life in a small Finnish town or a large Venezuelan city. It’s misleading; Scott faces the same difficulties as anyone constantly on the move so far from friends and family. He has had his share of strained relationships, professional frustrations, and culture shock. He keeps a strong sense of home and a strong support network to keep stable. He can’t predict where basketball will take him but he knows that home is in Atlanta: his church, friends, and longtime girlfriend are all there. That familiarity and support system has been vital.
“This is crazy. This is a crazy thing to try. Sometimes you make a lot of money, sometimes you make no money. Sometimes your relationship is great, sometimes it’s lost out in the ocean.”
I ask how long he can keep going.
“When I feel like I can’t play like this anymore, that’s when I’ll quit. I look at guys like Nash, I pay attention to those stories, guys that played for a long time. Karl Malone won the MVP at thirty-five. I don’t feel old. I do the same workouts now that I’ve always done to keep in shape, and I got good genetics I guess.”
With that it’s time for Scott to rejoin his team and get back to work stubbornly pushing towards his crazy dream. Perhaps the ups and downs Scott is facing in the D-League should have been expected; the pattern throughout his entire career has been to be overlooked, succeed, move forward just an inch, and repeat. After spending only an hour with Scott I can’t help but wonder if it’s only a matter of a few more iterations before the only inch forward remaining is onto an NBA roster. | <urn:uuid:0408b279-1f72-4bba-b341-7ec68ce6aeb6> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://thedissnba.com/2013/12/10/who-the-fuck-is-akeem-scott/ | 2017-01-24T19:19:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560285244.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095125-00113-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984202 | 4,272 |

The Joint Forces Operation Headquarters (JFO HQ) has disclosed the enemy death toll in Donbas, eastern Ukraine, for January.
"In January, Russian occupying forces' casualties totaled 83 people, namely: 27 people were killed and another 56 were wounded," the JFO HQ wrote on Facebook on January 31, 2020.
"In addition, the Russian occupying forces lost five pieces of military equipment and weapons (two Ural trucks, two UAVs, and one mortar)," reads the report.
The Ukrainian military fires back only in case of a threat to their life and health, enemy troops' attempts to seize new territories, or penetration of reconnaissance and subversive groups.
"The Joint Forces continue carrying out combat missions to repel and deter the armed aggression of the Russian Federation," the report says. | <urn:uuid:fc7b3200-b04a-41d7-8f2f-d9f37d2c7602> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.unian.info/war/10854641-ukraine-s-jfo-hq-reports-enemy-death-toll-in-donbas-in-january.html | 2021-05-10T18:44:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991759.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210510174005-20210510204005-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.97128 | 163 |
... and so is a deal. That old saw was taught to me by a client years ago. I haven't forgotten it, but sometimes businesspersons do. If you ever have a client that feels he or she has been slighted by another party when the apparent "gentlemen's agreement" turns to nothing does your client have legal recourse? In Iowa, maybe not. But in Maryland, yes.
Take the case of Giant Food, Inc. v. Ice King,Inc., 536 A. 2d 1182 (Md. App. 1988). The court held that despite the lack of a contract between the parties Ice King could recover damages for negligent misrepresentation by Giant Food. For several months Ice King and Giant Food discussed the possibility of Ice King supplying ice to Giant Food. All along, unbeknownst to Ice King, Giant Food was planning to build its own ice plant. Ice Food believed it had a commitment to supply ice based on 30 or 40 communications between the parties, including authorization by Giant for Ice King to inform its bank of their "deal."
The court concluded that in light of the more than casual response of Giant Food "a businessman in [the Ice King representative's] shoes might have reasonably relied on the informal 'deal or gentlemen's agreement.'" In fact, Ice King had "the right to rely upon Giant, and Giant owed a duty to give the correct information." When Ice King learned about the possibility of a new Giant ice plant and attempted to learn the truth the court held that it was incumbent on Giant to provide the "true facts." When instead the Giant representative said "everything was all right" the assurance "was, at the very minimum, negligent."
So the next time a client believes he had a deal and was double-crossed, remember this case and supporting cases from New York and Prosser and Keeton on the Law of Torts, Section 107 (1984) and the Restatement (Second) of Torts, Section 552 (1977).*

North Carolina teachers are being offered substantially higher salaries to move and teach in Texas.
The Charlotte Observer reports that the Houston Independent School District held a job recruitment fair in Charlotte on Friday, following similar events in Greensboro and Raleigh.
Teachers say the Houston offer, with a starting salary of more than $49,000, is enticing, especially for young teachers.
The average starting salary for a North Carolina teacher is less than $31,000, which is below all neighboring states. The National Education Association says the state's slip to 46th for teacher pay is the result of five years of pay freezes.
Houston Federation of Teachers president Gayle Fallon says the salary differences make North Carolina teachers "easy pickings."
The Houston district is the largest in Texas and seventh-largest nationwide.

A Mumbai lawyer and environmentalist is leading the clean-up effort
5.3 million kilograms of trash and plastic have been removed from the beach
It’s hard to believe, but this pristine shoreline was until recently considered to be one of Mumbai’s dirtiest beaches.
Labeled the “world’s largest beach clean-up project” by the United Nations, Versova’s dramatic transformation from filthy to fabulous has gone viral in India, where online commentators have praised the role of local volunteers in helping in the colossal effort.
Led by spirited young lawyer and environmentalist Afroz Shah, volunteers collected a staggering 5.3 million kilograms of decomposing trash and plastic from the 2.5 kilometer stretch of beach over a period of 21 months.
“I shifted to my new apartment two years back and saw plastic on the beach – it was 5.5 feet high. A man could drown in the plastic,” Shah told CNN. “I said I’m going to come on the field and do something. I have to protect my environment and it requires ground action.”
Shah, 33, began cleaning the beach in 2015 with the help of a neighbor. Over time, he was joined by more than 1,000 volunteers including local Versova residents, slum-dwellers, politicians, Bollywood celebrities and schoolchildren.
The volunteers have also cleaned 52 public toilets at the beach and planted 50 coconut trees. Shah says he wants to plant 5,000 coconut trees there and turn it into a “coconut lagoon like it used to be.”
“What I do is I pick up plastic. This is how I’ve been spending my weekends since 2015 and I love it,” Shah said.
Cleanup sessions are held regularly on weekends in events that Shah calls “dates with the ocean.”
On Saturday, Shah tweeted a photo of the now-immaculate waterfront, immediately gaining more than 6,000 retweets and 13,000 likes.
His efforts have been praised by Indian minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu, and a number of Mumbai-based celebrities, among others.
The UN has also recognized Shah’s volunteer work. Last year, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) awarded him the Champion of the Earth award for his work in organizing community-led clean-up efforts.
“Because of the direction of the wind, a lot of garbage lands at Versova. The beach is surrounded by slums so lots of garbage comes from there. It was not a very popular beach in terms of visitors and tourists, so its cleanup has been ignored by the municipal corporation,” said Mumbai Marine conservationist Pradip Patade.
According to the UNEP, 13 million tons of plastic waste finds its way to the world’s oceans every year, which is equivalent to dumping two garbage trucks of plastic waste into the ocean every minute.
It poses a threat not just to marine wildlife and ecosystems but also to humans, as some marine litter makes its way into the diet in the form of fish or seabirds.
In a step toward tackling India’s massive waste problem, the country’s National Green Tribunal banned the use of disposable plastics in the capital New Delhi in January this year. | <urn:uuid:07305cff-fb7b-4ea4-904e-45aaa2c98867> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/22/asia/mumbai-beach-dramatic-makeover/index.html | 2022-12-01T14:50:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710813.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20221201121601-20221201151601-00785.warc.gz | en | 0.95784 | 701 |
Marijuana policy is not a top-10 issue of importance to the Trump administration, and honestly, it shouldn’t be. Numerous other issues from jobs to the overall economy to terrorism to instability abroad and other matters occupy the administration’s attention regularly. In fact, those are ranked among the issues Americans believe are most important, according to public polling; marijuana policy is not.
The president’s appointees seem addicted to a rhetorical whiplash that has thrown individuals, businesses and state government officials into a state of policy disarray.
However, to say that marijuana policy is not important would be completely wrong. It is an issue that touches federalism, medicine, health, commerce, taxes, agriculture, jobs, taxes, regulation, public health, public safety, law enforcement, and more. It matters to hundreds of thousands of Americans who use marijuana for medicine; it matters to tens of thousands of Americans who work in state-legal medical and adult-use industries. It matters to the governments of 29 states and DC who have legalized medical marijuana and the eight states and DC that have legalized adult-use marijuana.
Simply because it is not a top-10 issue for the administration does not mean the administration should not have a serious, consistent, meaningful approach to how it will handle the issue. With over 2.5 million civilian employees and about 4,000 presidential appointees in the U.S. government, the administration should be able to walk and chew gum and do about 10,000 other things at the same time.
Despite the importance of the issue and the capacity of the government to address it, the myriad officials for whom marijuana policy is part of their portfolio cannot get on the same page. Since Mr. Trump’s election, his team has addressed marijuana policy multiple times and in so doing, frequently contradict each other; in some cases, officials even contradict their own words.
I’ll review some of the players and the rhetoric coming from the administration. (Later, I’ll discuss some of the consequences of the disjointed messaging.)
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
As I noted in a post from late February, Spicer addressed marijuana policy during a press briefing and conveyed a difference between medical and recreational marijuana. He carved out a position that largely reflected the president’s words from the campaign trail, stating “I think medical marijuana, I’ve said before, the president understands the pain and suffering that many people go through who are facing, especially terminal diseases, and the comfort that some of these drugs, including medical marijuana can bring to them.” Spicer also stressed differences in federal law between medical and recreational marijuana, suggesting a need for firm enforcement over recreational marijuana.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
During his confirmation hearing, Sessions suggested there was some benefit in the Justice Department prioritizing certain marijuana offenses over others, subtly noting the benefits of the Cole Memo. That combined with Sessions’ failing to rescind the Cole Memo, now nearly three months on the job, has made some in the marijuana reform community cautiously optimistic.
However, Sessions has also questioned the medical value of cannabis, even in the face of research from the University of Michigan and elsewhere that directly contradicts his beliefs. During an interview on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, Sessions reiterated that he will continue to enforce federal marijuana laws that consider marijuana illegal in all cases. He noted, “marijuana is against federal law, and that applies in states where they may have repealed their own anti-marijuana laws. So yes, we will enforce law in an appropriate way nationwide.” Although he went on to accept the anti-commandeering doctrine that bars the federal government from forcing state and local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal law, he reiterated his goals to enforce against what he believes is “a more dangerous drug than a lot of people realize.”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
The Treasury Department has authority over marijuana via taxes and banking regulations. These are meaningful areas of policy with significant effects. For example, Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code prevents state-legal marijuana businesses from claiming most federal business tax deductions, leading to substantially higher tax burdens for legal cannabis enterprises. Also, laws and regulations bar financial institutions from legally working with the state-legal marijuana industry, driving huge swaths of the industry to be cash-only.
In his questionnaire during his confirmation process, Mnuchin was asked about both federal tax and banking policy toward marijuana. He stated that he would “review the 2014 FinCEN guidance” which sought to provide cover for banks seeking to work with the marijuana industry. He went on to say, in direct response to a question on marijuana, “If confirmed, I will work with Congress and the president to determine which provisions of the current tax code should be retained, revised or eliminated to ensure that all individuals and businesses compete on a level playing field.”
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly
Secretary Kelly has had some of the most dizzying comments on marijuana. In a late November 2016 interview with Military Times, Kelly indicated support for medical marijuana but fierce opposition to non-medical uses of marijuana or other illicit drugs—a position close to the president’s.
However, in the course of two days in April, Kelly gave conflicting and confusing comments on the topic and went on to ignore research. On April 16th, in an interview on Meet the Press, Kelly noted that in fighting the war on drugs, marijuana was “not a factor.” However, on April 18th during a speech at George Washington University, Kelly transformed into a passionate drug warrior. Kelly stated, “And let me be clear about marijuana. It is a potentially dangerous gateway drug that frequently leads to the use of harder drugs… Beyond that, however, its use and possession is against federal law and until the law is changed by the U.S. Congress we in DHS are sworn to uphold all the laws on the books.”
The consequences of scattered rhetoric
It’s clear from the rhetoric of these key political appointees that there is nothing clear about this administration’s marijuana policy. Some seem supportive of reform; others seem supportive of certain reforms; still others seem to change their mind from day to day.
Leadership from the White House can fix this and demands for consistency in policy and messaging can flow from the president’s pen. Mr. Trump has shown little hesitation in using executive actions (orders, memoranda, etc.) to set his administration on the same track and indicate the manner in which he wants policy carried out. He should do the same on marijuana policy.
The thousands of state-legal businesses across the country sit in a period of uncertainty. President Trump understands better than any of his predecessors what significant uncertainty in an industry means. It can reduce investment, limit growth, affect prices, slow job creation, reduce morale, and negatively influence individual firms in a variety of other ways.
State government officials—governors, legislators, regulators—have communicated with the administration in a variety of contexts and channels to voice their concerns. Many of those officials have asked the federal government to take a hands-off approach or to consult with them before adopting an aggressive enforcement agenda. Those state government officials know that a significant crackdown risks driving mature and sizeable legal operators underground into an unregulated black market. That is a nightmare for states and that nightmare looms on the horizon in the current, uncertain policy environment.
The president’s appointees seem addicted to a rhetorical whiplash that has thrown individuals, businesses and state government officials into a state of policy disarray. At the same time, it has not stopped states from moving forward with reforms. Implementation continues among the numerous states that have legalized medical or adult-use marijuana in recent months and years. West Virginia approved medical marijuana legislation this week. State legislative chambers continue to debate and vote on medical and adult-use marijuana legislation.
The disjoint between state and federal law well reflects the disjoint happening within the administration. The former is due entirely to federalism and a Congress that has opted not to work with states as they reform their laws. The latter is inexcusable policy and messaging problem. And that problem can be solved by one man with one document. The opportunity exists for the president to solidify and publicize what his administration’s position will be on marijuana and push those around him to listen to their boss. | <urn:uuid:4ef26f06-748f-4edd-a619-663e13f76b6b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2017/04/20/disorienting-effects-of-marijuana-on-the-trump-administration/ | 2019-06-17T12:54:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998475.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617123027-20190617145027-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.960424 | 1,725 |
Covid-19: Dhaka, Rangamati declared ‘red zones’
BI Report || BusinessInsider
Business Insider Graphics
The government has declared Dhaka and Rangamati as red zones following an exponential rise in Covid infections in the two districts.
Besides, six other districts were declared yellow, while 54 other districts were announced as green zones.
Besides, only two districts are in the list of the least testing for coronavirus.
The health directorate informed the matter after analysing the data of past one week.
As per the information of the health directorate, the rate of coronavirus infection in the capital city Dhaka is 12.90 percent while it is 10 percent in Rangamati.
Jashore, Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Lalmonirhat, Natore and Rangpur districts are in the yellow zone, which figures out they are in a medium risk.
At the same time, 54 districts are in lower risks or in green zone. Meanwhile, the test rate is lower for Panchagarh and Bandarban districts.
In the past week, the Covid infection has raised to 169.12 percent than the previous week. However, the death rate has dropped to 20 percent.
It is mentionable that the cabinet division, on Monday, has imposed 11-point restrictions in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus in the country with effect from Thursday.
The directives are - at shops, shopping malls, and markets and in hotels and restaurants will have to wear masks. Otherwise, the rule violators will have to face legal action
The use of masks at offices, courts in and outsides of the house will have to be ensured. The government will operate mobile courts to monitor if the rules are breached; people will have to show their vaccine certificates when they will take food at restaurants and stay at hotels.
Students aged over 12 years will not be allowed to enter their respective educational institutions unless they take their vaccines within the government stipulated time.
The number of screenings will have to be increased at all land ports, seaports, and airports. No crew will be allowed to come out of ships at seaports while at land ports, only a driver can come out of vehicles. The people who come to airports to see off outbound passengers will have to be denied entry.
Trains, buses and launches will have to run at half of their passenger capacity and the authorities concerned will announce a specific date for enforcing the rules in the transport sector. All drivers and their assistants will have to be coronavirus vaccine certificate holder
Inbound people must show their vaccine certificate mandatorily; imams during the recitation of Friday khutba will make people aware in maintaining the health rules while the district and upazila nirbahi officers will ensure implementation of the rules; the health and family welfare minister will undertake necessary steps to accelerate inoculation of booster dose campaign while information and broadcast ministry will help the effort make successful.
All kinds of social, political, cultural and religious events in open places will remain prohibited until further notice
Local administration will take steps if any unusual circumstance is created in any area. | <urn:uuid:9efee690-4b23-44d6-9ecc-2ab45b4231a2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.businessinsiderbd.com/covid-19/news/15748/covid-19-dhaka-rangamati-declared-red-zones | 2022-01-17T08:02:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300343.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117061125-20220117091125-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.95406 | 661 |
The trip to Princeton was canceled as my sciatica decided to act up. Don’t want to be in a car for over an hour when the pain kicks in. So, down to my design wall I went. I hung my background then the placement overlay and began choosing the colors for the flowers. I tend to stay in the earthy color way so adding the purples was a bit tough for me. But all in all I like the balance of colors so far. There will be multiple shades of pinks and some blues added. These will be the small bell flowers and the berry buds. Will continue after supper with the leaves and vase. | <urn:uuid:b328c233-26ec-4b1a-9620-f9dbdff44e58> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://mollykatdesigns.com/2012/11/17/felicitys-colors/ | 2017-06-24T01:59:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320209.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624013626-20170624033626-00322.warc.gz | en | 0.951444 | 135 |
Re: Mr. Thomas P, Please identify yourself
- Dear Respected moderators, Please post this reponse to your question and other messages addressed to me.
Dear brothers, After reading all the attacks against me, let me write few words.
1. For my identity, including the correct name I use, kindly check the registery of Thumpamon Valiapally (were I was baptised, and our family belongs to Cheriyapalli). I can provide the year of my birth, if you can identity yourself to me privately.
2. I have tried my best to limit my messages on topics related to history and faith of the Church. It is surprising that this forum is deviating with out a real goal and focusing more on individuals. I hope the moderators continue to make this forum useful to all, focusing more on useful matters than personal attacks.
3. It is difficult to post my personal information to open or quasi-open distribution lists, since internet is not a safe place. Rather, our approach should be based on trust, since we do not know each other as individuals, but as members of the Malanakra church, with an amibition to see one Church and community among us. For the same reason, I did not ask the personal information of other members, nor that is my focus. Neither did I use a wrong identity in the forum.
Let us shift the focus to useful topics which help us and learn from each other with an open mind.
St. Mary's Church/ St. George Church, Thumpamon
From the desk of moderators
Dear Brother Paul Oommen (alias "Thomas P")
Let us first say, we recognize that you are a passionate individual. For whatever personal reasons, you have taken up a jihad against the Syriac Orthodox Church. You have taken up different identities on the internet, relentlessly posting hostile messages on various forums under these identities from the same location.
We had requested you many times to follow the forums policy of posting under your official name. A forum participant's identity is not of concern to us per se. However, the policy exists for good reason--many abuse the apparent anonymity of the internet to post inappropriate messages that they would not otherwise post under identities that others would recognize them by. We have stated that we will keep confidentiality of any ones identity if convinced that the request is legitimate.
Even after repeated requests from us, you have refused to reveal your identity. This has forced us to find out more about who you are; you should know that we have ample information about you which we are not revealing here in public out of regard for your privacy. You commented that the internet is not safe; but you should know given your education and work experience that it is only too easy to expose hidden identities on the internet.
You have hidden your identity under your baptismal name Thomas. But the reality is that you are known in public records, at work, and among people who know you as Paul Oommen; hardly anybody would recognize you by the name "Thomas P".
Out of fraternal love in Christ we entreat you to consider the following.
1) Your soul and salvation It is very disheartening to note that a fellow Christian spends so many work hours spreading twisted propaganda directed against a Christian Church. All of us await a judgement according to our deeds. The topics you focus on and the example you set, as de facto spokesman for the IOC, do not provide a good example of either you, or the church denomination to which you belong.
2) The souls of our SOC faithful Most of your postings denigrate the current hierarchy, revered fathers of the past, and the faithful of the Syriac Orthodox Church. This unfortunately engenders much animosity towards you as an individual among the SOC faithful on the forum; we as moderators also are under pressure to explain why we permit you to abuse the forum under a pseudo-identity. Many of the faithful opt to respond to you only to provide correct information so that innocent faithful are not deceived. We cannot permit you to vitiate the Christian fraternity of the forum.
We pray that you reconsider your actions and direct your zeal toward a higher Christian purpose.

Not my words but well worth reading "Magazine of Virginia Genealogy", Vol., 25, Nov. 1987, No. 4. pp. 3-13.-JAMES SULLIVAN OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY AND THE PROBLEM OF ENTRENCHED DISINFORMATION-By Carolyn Copeland Bland Genealogy requires analysis as well as research. In this most precise work, mistakes are inevitable, and it is every researcher’s responsibility to question the work of others. The serious genealogist insists on the citation of sources. He goes to the trouble of checking these for accuracy. He weighs conflicting evidence carefully, one source against another. Finally, he must base his conclusions on the preponderance of the evidence. Without this caution, inexperienced researchers are misled sometimes by foolish genealogical claims. Then they go on to repeat these claims in many places and, with amazing success, they build up a crooked structure of ‘disinformation’ which is no small job to dismantle.
you said .......but along comes the self-styled experts to try and pop the bubble...and spoil your fun. I believe their only thoughts are to build up their own ego while deflating yours. Where did they get their credentials? Whata qualifies them as experts?
Answer Some of us are not 'self styled experts', we do have serious qualifications in historical research. Ego trip.....no need.
As to bragging rights, why is it deemed necessary to have a 'famous name' to be able to brag. I have one that was hung, drawn and quartered whom I considered my 'famous ancestor' The satisfaction comes with 'bragging' that I have researched my family, checked my sources, cited my sources and am confident that I have 'my' family as ancestors, not someone elses. | <urn:uuid:92a99fa9-47a4-4eb1-9414-7354291febdd> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/pocahontas/776/ | 2017-03-22T23:19:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218186353.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212946-00250-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956713 | 374 |
Among others famous Venetians, Marco Polo best describes the very heart of Venice sharing its merchant and cultural history.
Marco Polo was born in Venice on 1254 a.C. from a merchant family. After losing his mother, an aunt and uncle raised him. They educated him in mercantile subjects until 1269, when his father came back from Asia and met the young Marco for the first time.
In 1271, Marco Polo, his father and his uncle set off to Asia again and here the adventures of Marco Polo start, as later written in Il Milione.
Once in China, Marco became a trusted man of Kublai Khan, for his intelligence and his capacity to see through appearances.
That is the reason why Kublai Khan refuses to let Marco Polo return to Venice many times.
During these years, Marco Polo travelled extensively in China, as foreign emissary of the same Kublai Khan.
Only in 1295, after 24 years, he was able to go back to Venice after travelling more than 20,000 km.
However, his adventures, did not end. One year later, he was captured and imprisoned by Genoans, against whom Venice was at war.
During this captivity, Marco Polo was able to dictate his book to a fellow inmate, Rustichello da Pisa.
The book, called The Travels of Marco Polo or Il Milione, was the first comprehensive travel book about China and a worldwide literature masterpiece. The same book became so famous among European merchants that it inspired many others, like Chistopher Columbus.
In 1299 Marco Polo came back to Venice and he became a wealthy merchant, married and with three children. He died in 1324.
Marco Polo is particularly loved in Venice because, in his life, he mixed some of the most important elements of Venice: the merchant nature, but also the importance of culture and a strong patriotism. | <urn:uuid:6662ae8d-2d23-41a3-84ff-3c834698009c> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.venicebyvenetians.com/marco-polo/ | 2020-11-25T08:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141181482.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20201125071137-20201125101137-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.985407 | 393 |
Altered Protein Shapes May Explain Differences in Some Brain Diseases

It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch, and the same may be true of certain proteins in the brain. Studies have suggested that just one rogue protein (in this case, a protein that is misfolded or shaped the wrong way) can act as a seed, leading to the misfolding of nearby proteins. According to an NIH-funded study, various forms of these seeds — originating from the same protein — may lead to different patterns of misfolding that result in neurological disorders with unique sets of symptoms.
“This study has important implications for Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders,” said National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Director Story Landis, Ph.D. “We know that among patients with Parkinson’s disease, there are variations in the way that the disorder affects the brains. This exciting new research provides a potential explanation for why those differences occur.”
An example of such a protein is alpha-synuclein, which can accumulate in brain cells, causing synucleinopathies, multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson’s disease with dementia (PDD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). In addition, misfolded proteins other than alpha-synuclein sometimes aggregate, or accumulate, in the same brains. For example, tau protein collects into aggregates called tangles, which are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease and are often found in PDD and DLB brains. Findings from this study raise the possibility that different structural shapes, or strains, of alpha-synuclein may contribute to the co-occurrence of synuclein and tau accumulations in PDD or DLB.
In the new study, published in Cell, Jing L. Guo, Ph.D., and her colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, wanted to see if different preparations of synthetic alpha-synuclein fibrils would behave differently in neurons that were in a petri dish as well as in mouse brains. They discovered two strains of alpha-synuclein with distinct seeding activity in cultured neurons: while one strain (strain A) resulted in accumulation of alpha-synuclein alone, the other strain (strain B) resulted in accumulations of both alpha-synuclein and tau.
The researchers also injected strain A or strain B into the brains of mice engineered to make large amounts of human tau, and then monitored the formation of alpha-synuclein and tau aggregates at various time points. Mice that received injections of synuclein strain B showed more accumulation of tau — earlier and across more brain regions — compared to mice that received strain A.
The researchers also examined the brains of five patients who had PDD, some of whom also had Alzheimer’s. In this small sample, there was evidence of two different structural forms of alpha-synuclein, one in PDD brains and a distinctly different one in PDD/Alzheimer’s brains, supporting the existence of disease-specific strains of the protein in human diseases.
“We are just starting to do work with human tissues,” said Virginia M.Y. Lee, Ph.D., senior author of the study. “We are planning to look at the brains of patients who had Parkinson’s disease, PDD, or DLB to see if there are differences in the distribution of alpha-synuclein strains.”
Although the two strains used in this study were created in test tubes, the authors noted that in human brains, where the environment is much more complicated, the chances of forming additional disease-related alpha-synuclein strains may be greater.
“These different strains not only can convert normal alpha-synuclein into pathological alpha-synuclein within one cell, they also can morph into new strains as they pass from cell to cell, acquiring the ability to serve as a template to damage both normal alpha-synuclein and other proteins,” said Dr. Lee. “So certain strains, but not all strains, can act as templates to influence the development of other pathologies, such as tau tangles.”
She commented, “We are just beginning to understand some of these strains and there may be many others. We hope to find a way to identify strains that are relevant to human disease.”
This study was supported by grants from NINDS (NS53488) and the National Institute on Aging (AG17586). Additional funding was provided by the Marian S. Ware Alzheimer Program, Philadelphia, PA; the Dr. Arthur Peck Fund, Philadelphia, PA; The Jeff and Anne Keefer Fund, Philadelphia, PA; and the Parkinson Council, Bala Cynwyd, PA.
NINDS is the nation’s leading funder of research on the brain and nervous system. The NINDS mission is to reduce the burden of neurological disease — a burden borne by every age group, by every segment of society, by people all over the world. | <urn:uuid:c6c5d770-8a4e-4f1a-a04f-8aee65dad6b5> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.technologynetworks.com/proteomics/news/altered-protein-shapes-may-explain-differences-in-some-brain-diseases-186172 | 2023-03-31T15:24:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949644.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20230331144941-20230331174941-00043.warc.gz | en | 0.952208 | 1,094 |

Although you could produce, timetable, and supply emails just like any other email advertising platform, Actionetics is so much extra.
I enjoy Actionetics because it not only changes your e-mail advertising but carrier marketing and SMS marketing software programs also.

- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 bulk discount strategy (suggested).
I’ll explain for every of these strategies listed below.
1. ClickFunnels Standard Plan – $97/month.
The typical strategy consists of all the attributes you would certainly need within ClickFunnels, however with limitations on the variety of funnels (20) and pages (100) you could have in your account, as well as the number of visitors (20K) could view your web pages each month.
You also do not receive sophisticated functionality such as ClickFunnels own e-mail advertising and marketing and also associate monitoring tools.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Suite – $297/month.
This plan consists of all the bells and whistles of the basic plan, without any restrictions. It also includes two added products generated by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (e-mail marketing) and also Knapsack (associate management system).
In Actionetics – you could manage all your contacts that register for your list, send email broadcasts, and develop a host of various other automations. Mailgun Api Nodejs
The difference in between the two strategies actually is the constraints, as well as Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a fundamental user and also do not anticipate to use greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Criterion Strategy must be enough.
However, if you intend to have an associate program or intend to maintain your e-mail advertising within ClickFunnels and not use a third party software program, the Etison Collection is for you.
You can constantly begin on the lower plan and also upgrade if needed.
3. Funnel Hacks System – $997
For anyone that’s significant about their company, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the offer of the century.
The $997 Funnel Hacks System consists of durable training programs packed with 6-month accessibility to the ClickFunnels Etison Collection.

ClickFunnels versus Every person Else.
Many individuals ask how ClickFunnels compares with various other touchdown page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, as well as Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not truly a fair comparison because each of these tools stands out is one area or the other.
The graph over gives a complete analysis – but I’ll highlight a few of the major comparisons below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the huge pet dog.
Leadpages is just a lead capture software application – nothing more. You can develop landing pages, lead boxes, collect leads … that’s virtually it. In addition, the Leadpages themes are likewise restricted on personalization.
ClickFunnels is far more versatile – it’s much easier to utilize and does so much more than produce lead capture web pages.
Basically, Leadpages is really simply a touchdown web page home builder, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around building extremely integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing web page or sales web page builder. It has a few of that performance built it, however that’s not what it’s understood for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that permits you to manage your whole customer database. ClickFunnels has this ability with Actionetics, yet it’s not nearly as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is additionally exceptionally costly and also forces every brand-new consumer to pay $2000 for a required kickstart coaching package just to find out the best ways to utilize the intricate system (which is infamously tough to utilize).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are two main courses people go down as ClickFunnels individuals.
Those that choose to utilize the device for their service – in hopes of eventually achieve both Comma Club (over $1M in revenue).
And those that want making easy earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate as well as winning the Dream Automobile Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 towards your dream cars and truck if you reach 100/200 energetic regular monthly signups, respectively).
With a tremendous 40% month-to-month recurring commission, ClickFunnels easily has among the greatest affiliate programs of any platform available.
That’s right – you get paid an ongoing 40% compensation on every associate signup you make with the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. However, just what does that actually relate to?
The standard plan is a $97/month investment and also the Etison Suite plan is a $297/month financial investment. as a result you make $38.80 each standard plan as well as $118.80 per Etison Collection strategy … each and every month!
On average, every 100 signups will certainly bring in $4000/month in associate compensations (essentially depending on the number of Etison Strategy users remain in there).
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is by far the best system if you are seeking to quickly develop high transforming sales funnels.
Because it was constructed from the ground up to be the very best sales channel builder, it beats out every one of the competitors in that regard.
Externally, it may not be the most inexpensive product out there – yet if you utilize it to its complete ability, your organisation will certainly come to be much more profitable and you will certainly save money from not having to make use of other devices. Mailgun Api Nodejs

Weather Blog: Tracking showers & a hazy sky returns
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! Anyone notice the haze in the sky again? It's back, in today's blog we discuss why the sky is hazy and look ahead to rain chances in the coming days.
Let's start with a scene from this morning at the Wisconsin State Fair. I took this photo below of the cream puff drive thru just outside the main gate at State Fair Park. Weather conditions look great for the start of the fair!
Notice the orange and hazy glow to the sun. There's a reason!
The comfortably cool northwesterly flow aloft is once again pushing smoke from wildfires in Canada across the upper Midwest. The visible satellite image below shows the milky grey color which represents smoke drifting by in our atmosphere.
Colorful sunrises and sunsets can be expected over the next couple of days while the smoke lingers.
Looking ahead to rain chances. Outside of a sprinkle or isolated shower Thursday looks dry. Better chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms return Friday afternoon and evening. Futurecast below shows a few showers developing by Friday afternoon. The threat will continue into Friday evening. If a lake breeze develops it may push the showers a bit farther inland. This would be great news for the State Fair!
Keep an umbrella on standby for Friday afternoon and evening. Temperatures look to stay close to 80 for the next several days. Enjoy!

What Drives Us to Make?
This month the Colorado Maker Hub has been focused on communicating the Making in Colorado. We have been posting a topic each week sharing the awesomeness in the Colorado maker community. This week I will focus on what drives us to make and help you connect with those of similar interests.
Each of us are different in both skills and interests. Therefore we all have different reasons that drive us to make. Finding a tribe or tribes that feels the same way you do is a great feeling and when a community is able to gather many of like interests they flourish and grow. By identifying what drives us to make maybe it can help you find your tribe(s) and help you grow in your making. Here’s some of the drivers I have seen in making:
Social Impact: The feel good driver is a substantial driver for most makers. Knowing that their knowledge and skills can help their community or an individual, especially for hobbyists. There are many programs either worldwide like Enabling the Future or Field Ready and within Colorado like Santa’s Little Hackers and the many Habitats for Humanity that provide opportunities to make AND make a difference! Our current focus in our directory has been programs solely within Colorado, but we can foresee as we move forward growing a list of these nationwide and worldwide programs that are run outside of Colorado and gathering communities around these interests.
Citizen Science: From tracking the weather, parking, animals or water, citizen science is growing as devices are more widely available to gather data. Many science organizations are leveraging this as a crowdsourcing option for the data gathering. Key enablers to these projects are: (1) the availability of apps and (2) communities of interest with knowledge of the data. Many Do-It-Yourself-ers are the drivers for these projects and for keeping them going. Many middle schools and high schools are beginning to engage their students in Citizen Science projects both in the technology and applications needed, in addition to the data gathering and analysis.
Sustainability: With concerns for our resources and the amount of waste that we generate there are many communities and maker businesses that revolve around sustainability. For instance there are organizations such as RAFT, Recreative Denver, Habitat ReStore, Recycled Mat-ters, RedeemWood, SCRAP and others, that focus on redirecting waste from landfills by collecting items to be reused or upcycled by others. Some DIY spaces hold Fix-It Workshops or Repair Cafes to teach others how to fix something that is broke which reduces waste and saves money for the owner in a replacement. From another perspective, there are many maker businesses that focus on using recycling as their raw materials then upcycle and repurpose them into inspirational art or functional goods. Another example is the conversion of waste streams to a new raw material is the Reuse Innovation Center in which Boulder County is investigating. For a list of organizations and businesses with a focus on sustainability you can check out our Sustainability grouping within our Hub directory.
Social: Some of us like to get together with others to socialize…sometimes making is a part of that fun. Just being together for a group project such as building a house to sharing individual projects of knitting, pottery or robots. Maker projects invite conversations between the range of acquaintances to long-time friends. Our making brings us together to share knowledge and provides discussion topics for the community to get to know each other better, build memories and a kinship.
Innovation: Many makers consider themselves life-long learners and invite the opportunity to innovate. They can be inspired by an idea to do something different and prototype their idea to see if it is possible. Some may be driven to bring this idea to market and look for spaces and incubators to get them funding and resources. These types of makers are looking for those team members to pull together to succeed.
Curiosity: Similar to a maker driven by innovation, is a maker that is just plain curious. They are curious to see how it works, whether it works and to see if they can do it. They are individually driven by their own curiosity, not by outside influences. They don’t care to make it into a product or even compete with others. They love to tinker and could care less whether others are interested. I feel I’m in this category with my LEGO sorter. People think I’m crazy, but my curiosity is driving me to make!
Competition: Some makers need a little extra driver to make…by competing with others. I won’t call out those in my family who are in this category for some of their making projects, but…we have a few. It’s either the pride of boasting you won or the camaraderie in the community around the item you are having to make, but competitions are a driver for some makers. In schools across America there are sporting competitions to drive students to be their best…for making there are similar Sports of the Mind like FIRST, VEX, BEST and Destination Imagination that drive students to make through competitions.
Love: It feels good! Making inspires each individual to be the best they can be and to try something new. There’s a lot of love and hands involved in making. It is a part of you as a maker. We either love to make to inspire others…or for some as the holidays or birthdays arrive they make to show their love through a custom-made gift. We hope you find the love in your making projects!
Why do you make? What drives you to make? Have you found a community of support for your types of making that enables you? We invite you to peruse our directory of Community Organizers. Maybe you will find your tribe that supports you and drives you to make! | <urn:uuid:5bb426c4-4a3e-4abc-b904-fb955bb36f5b> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://coloradomakerhub.org/2018/10/22/what-drives-us-to-make/ | 2020-04-01T01:18:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370505359.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200401003422-20200401033422-00489.warc.gz | en | 0.963562 | 1,197 |
