I still love Real Genius and like working quotes from it into conversation, but when I was in high school it turned out to be a really good way of sticking my foot in my mouth when I quoted it.
I transfered between high schools when Iw as a sohphomore, so I'm standing around at orientation feeling rather conspicuous since I didn't know anyone and was already 5'8" tall. Some guy I don't know walkes up and is like "Hey do you run?" in this drill sargenty tone. At this moment my nerves and my 14 year old ego swirl into the decision to be a smart ass back so I say "Only when chased." (which is true, but nonethless) it turns out this was both the track coach and my biology teacher who took an immediate dislike to my punk smartass self and made my life a living hell for the next year.
So, be careful out there, myself I've since learned that there are a lot of decaffinated brands out there that are just as tasty as the real thing, so I'm doing much better. :)

Illinois operator’s permit request is on hold
Posted By Therese Dunphy On February 26, 2013 @ 1:00 pm In Aggbeat Online,News | No Comments
The Woodford County Board deferred a decision on Peoria Concrete Construction Co.‘s request for a special-use permit to mine farmland adjacent to its facility near Bayview Gardens. The Peoria Journal Star reports that a question on the language of the zoning code led to the delay. The zoning language delayed another permit request as well.
Peoria Concrete and its neighbors reached an agreement about the expansion in January, and the Woodford County Zoning Board of Appeals approved the agreement.
The Woodford County Board will hold a special meeting on Feb. 26
to consider both permits.

Thinking of Mother's Day today, and how that takes me back through the narrative history of my family. How much of that history is able to be found in patches, often intersecting patches. And how many spaces there are in between.
honour of Mother’s day I wish to pay tribute all the way back to my
grandmother’s great-grandmother Tiraha Papa Harakeke, 1808-1885.
Tuhourangi at Motutawa Island on the encouragement of Te Rauparaha, who
wanted revenge for a relative lost during Ngapuhi's capture of Te
Totara pa. Ngapuhi chief, Hongi Hika had a patu made to avenge his
death, and attacked Te Arawa at the height of the musket wars,
instigated by Hongi and a tragic time for Maori, but the patu was not
used. In 1933 Sir Apirana Ngata presented the patu, known as
Papaharakeke, to Te Arawa as a tohu (token of friendship) from Ngapuhi.
The patu is owned by the Arawa trustboard, and for 70 years was held in
the Auckland Museum. In 2007, I believe, it was returned to Rotorua.
Tiraha married English Battle of Waterloo veteran, later carpenter, and
then whaler, William Cook in a Christian ceremony at Paihia 13th March,
1848, though they had been together for many years as a couple and
already had ten children.
They would have twelve in all.
was conducted by Te Wiremu (Rev. Henry Williams) he of the controversial
translation of the Treaty of Waitangi. A prayerbook given to the couple
after their wedding is now in the Russell Museum, as is this photograph
of Tiraha. Tiraha passed away 1st September,1885, and is buried
somewhere in the Russell churchyard, as is Tamati Waka Nene.
Unfortunately, Tiraha’s grave, though it is entered in the parish
registry, is unmarked. William Cook had died at Waikare in 1874. One of
their sons, George Howe Cook was born on a whaling brig – the
Independence. The Cook family of Whangamumu became famous as whalers,
before finally ceasing operations in 1931.
This tribute speaks
through my mother, Alice June Martha Maitu,1928-1995, and my
grandmother, Hannah, 1901-1994. It also honours Hannah's mother - Ada -
and Ada's mother - Martha, and all the wahine toa in my whanau's
history. And finally, all due respect to the descendents of the many
tupuna noted in this post.

When I tell people that I am working on a business that promotes and supports homeschooling one of the first questions people ask me is how many children are homeschooled in Australia. Typically I can immediately bring up statistics for the USA where estimates vary from 2 to 3.5 million children are currently being homeschooled. This represents roughly 5-10% of school aged children and is a fantastic achievement for American parents. But getting figures for Australian homeschooling is an entirely different matter. In this article I will be discussing briefly about some aspects of homeschooling in Australia: number, media perception, reasons for and common prejudices towards homeschooling families.
A Word About Numbers
This is an extremely difficult question to answer. One article I read cited the 2001 Census, recording 30,000 children were homeschooled at that time, but I have not been able to find this information on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) website. Another study estimated 15,000 and this figure is on Wikipedia, however, this study is almost 15 years old now and it was a projection based on a limited sample size. ABC news provided the figure of 50,000 in an article dated January, 2012 while a homeschooling website estimated the figure to be as high as 80,000. So that is the extent of what I know and it is very sketchy at best. If the next census had a question specifically asking if parents homeschooled I do not think this would help as many families either homeschool illegally or they object to the government knowing every detail of their family life. The short answer is that no one knows for certain, probably somewhere between 30 and 100 thousand but growing rapidly. The number of children in government regulated schools was 3,589,986 for 2012, so that puts the estimated percentage homeschooled between 0.8% and 2.7%, so not such a far cry from the current US numbers after all.
Media Perception, Motivation for and Prejudice
Two media articles that I read recently from the mainstream media present homeschooling in a negative light. The first one is from the The Knox Leader, a local newspaper associated with the Herald Sun which is typically considered a right-wing newspaper in Australia and is titled, “New figures show rates of children being homeschooled doubles but no checks to monitor standards.” The title of this piece immediate gives away a strong suspicion of homeschooling parents as people who ought to be monitored. I am sure everyone knows at least one busy-body in their street who sticks their noses in other people’s business and most people would probably agree with me that this person is generally not qualified to judge other people and tell them how to live, so why on Earth the government would be better at sticking the noses of their bureaucrats in people’s living rooms and telling them how to raise their children is any better is something the authors of this piece neglected to explain.
The Victorian Department of Education’s senior media officer, Stuart Teather, is refusing to comment on whether safeguards would be implemented in the future, saying only that all complaints were followed up to ensure children received “appropriate education”.
This is a loaded statement, it assumes that the government should be putting “safeguards”, whatever they are, in place and that if the government is not doing this already then shame on them. This tactic is what most of us in our day to day lives would recognise as a ‘guilt trip’ and is a form of manipulation. It is interesting because the word “safeguards” could easily be replaced with “threats to remove their children by force if the parents are non-compliant with state authority.” Again, what business the state has in how children are raised remains to be explained. The quotation marks were hilarious because they would make an excellent scare quote too, what does the government deem to be “appropriate education?”
“In NSW, before a parent’s registration to homeschool is accepted, an education official visits the home and assesses documentation showing how the child will be schooled. Applications can be rejected if they are deemed unsatisfactory.
In Victoria, these checks do not exist.”
At this point I feel as though the authors are demanding we have a police state because having a total stranger from the government walk into a person’s house and fill out a form somehow magically sanctifies it for home schooling. Who inspects the government’s schools and sanctifies them? If parents walk into a state school and deem it unsuitable for educating their children are they allowed to “reject” the government’s desire to educate their children using this method? Whenever I hear someone talk about compulsory regulations, all I see is a boot coming down hard on someone’s throat. What is completely missing here is a discussion about what kids need and what schooling is and is not providing them.
“ParentsOnline child psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack, of Blackburn South, is warning parents against the growing trend.
Ms McCormack, who briefly homeschooled her children before putting them in school, said although homeschooling could be beneficial for gifted children, it could have detrimental social effects.
“There is potential for a lack of routine and discipline,” Ms McCormack said.
I do not wish to sound cruel or judgmental towards Ms McCormack, because homeschooling can be a very difficult challenge depending on your personal situation and I do not know Ms. McCormack. However, she effectively tried and failed to homeschool her children. Just because she is a psychologist sadly does not mean she has superior wisdom and intelligence to most other people. This is wishful thinking all of us are guilty of. Another point is that she effectively admits that gifted children are damaged by state funded schooling. I have heard this often, but I have heard no explanation for why it would be more harmful to gifted children and less harmful to non-gifted children. If it is harmful to gifted children, then logically it is harmful to non-gifted children, unless public schools go out of their way to target and destroy gifted children.
“Homeschooled children don’t have the social interaction and immediacy of peers during the day.”
According to the ABS the single biggest social and environment concern of Australian children is bullying in schools. This is the biggest issue for students in all states and territories and significantly exceeds their concerns about everything from climate change to internet access. This begs the question: what social interaction are children getting from publicly funded schools? Forced socialisation with bullies, thugs, drug-dealers, thieves and pushers? Public schooling is an awful lot like prison and we all appreciate how damaging prison is on a person’s mental health, so why are we so sure that government regulated education is providing a rich and stimulating social environment for children when their own statistics department is reporting the children do not agree? For me, the question is: are we ever going to listen to our children or will we just keep treating them like cattle?
From here on in, the article becomes positive with interviews of two successful homeschooling families. It is a typical approach of reporters and journalists to only report one side of the story in the first half because they know most readers will only read the first half before moving onto another article to read. This is how when challenged the authors will claim to be objective and fair.
The second article is from ABC news, typically considered a left-wing news source, and is entitled “Thousands of parents illegally home schooling.” Along with this suggestive title we find the following commentary in the opening paragraphs:
It is compulsory to send children between the ages of six and 16 to school, or register them for home schooling…
However, thousands of parents across the country are not registered and that means they potentially face prosecution.
What is missing here is consideration of whether or not children are the responsibility of their parents, or are they the property of the state? If children are the responsibility of the parents, then what right does the government have to declare it compulsory for children to go to one of their educational institutions against the will of the parents? Is that not the government asserting property rights over other people’s children? If the government exists to serve the people, then it should be limited to offering voluntary assistance to those who desire it. When it is compulsory it smacks of tyranny and I feel obligated to remind people that emotional trauma occurs when someone is forced to do something against their will. Here the government is forcing thousands of people to do something against their will. The focus of this article should not be on the legality of homeschooling but on the legality of the government in forcing parents to pay for an education system that they chose not to use for their children. When can homeschooling parents fine the government for taxing them to pay for other people’s education? Why it is anyone else’s business how other people choose with educate their children is not discussed and the reader is invited to judge and condemn people they know nothing about. This is how the mainstream media spread suspicion, distrust and bigotry in the population.
There are 942 children registered with the Home Schooling Unit this year, but Mr Osmak believes there may be another 10,000 home schooling underground in Queensland.
The term underground education is a reference to the underground railroad used to smuggle saves to freedom. I like this connotation to the term, that homeschooling parents are running an underground railroad to smuggle children to safety from the harmful effects of government regulated schooling. However, I am not convinced the author intended this, I suspect what he was actually trying to suggest is that homeschooling parents are part of some shadowy secret group operating outside mainstream society. Which is probably technically correct, but the way it is implied is that this is a bad thing because conformity is implicitly a good thing.
Cindy is one of a large number of underground home schoolers but the secrecy and distrust has made it difficult for researchers to get hard data on whether home schooling produces a better or worse education.
This would be an excellent time for the author to bring up the fact that mainstream media perceptions of homeschoolers are typically negative and that government’s are asserting ownership rights to people’s children through compulsory measures. However, the secretive and distrustful nature of the homeschooling community is not adequately explained. My belief is that the media just can not criticise themselves in writing. It is like the school shootings, every expert, who said that the media attention paid to school shootings is what motivates and inspires the murderers, failed to get a quote on any mainstream media source. Another factor is that most people working in the media were schooled by the state and have been told all their lives to trust the government and so they find it difficult to empathise with people whose experience of the government has not been so positive for them relatively.
“They’re simply opposed in principle to state authority over their children, which they extend not only to a school environment, but even to state hospitals or regulations of another sort.”
Again, in the last paragraphs of the article it moves onto facts. Discussing the main reasons why people choose to homeschool. They report accurately that only about 1-in-5 parents choose to homeschool for religious reasons. The quote above is the single biggest reason why most people choose to homeschool and I wonder why this quote was not used to lead into the article? Why was it at the end? Surely a headline about growing numbers of people distrusting the government so much that they are withdrawing their children from public schools would be more exciting and sensational?
The topic of homeschooling is still virtually unreported in the Australian press and when it is reported it is generally critical and condescending. Most people in the general public do not understand the primary motivations for why many parents choose to homeschool and they are generally treated as non-conformist outsiders to be regarded with suspicion. However, the numbers of homeschooled children are increasing all of the time and with it media attention. There are growing opportunities for us to get our message out to a larger audience of people and, most importantly, there are enough of us now to start petitioning the government to ease off on many of their authoritarian policies directed towards children as state property. Finally, you might find this article an interesting one to help with teaching critical thinking skills to your children about how the media manipulate people’s perceptions by using emotional arguments in the language so I am adding it to the air bird feed.

I rated my experience as good. would have rated my service as excellent, but I have been asked to pay an addi Read Moretional $1000.00 plus dollars for deposit nearly a month after I had signed and moved into my residence. This matter should have been brought to my attention originally when I paid the security deposit that I was asked to pay. I think it is bad customer service to tell a tenant that you owe an additional $1000.00 after the contract has been signed. This is very bad customer service

There is not a single Debian release with the version that is being complained
about. Therefore the audience of stable have not yet tried it, and you're
drawing conclusions from the anecdotes of a sample of users who may not be
representative of our (stable) users.
I feel that the decision to change from GNOME to something else, on the
basis of complaints about GNOME 3, should only be considered after we've
actually released with at least one version of GNOME 3. | <urn:uuid:dd825298-1be8-4890-856b-041639a1ac59> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00261.html | 2015-07-30T17:43:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042987402.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002307-00178-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964869 | 275 |
Thanksgiving 2013 recently passed and now of course the world is headed towards Christmas. To those not living in the United States or who are unfamiliar with American traditions, Thanksgiving is one of the country's biggest most celebrated holidays. Christmas of course is celebrated worldwide. In America Thanksgiving begins what much of the country refers to as the "holidays" where Christmas and a bit later New Years Day is celebrated. Within this period shopping, presents, Christmas plays, Santa Claus, reindeers, New Years resolutions, traditional church services, New Years Eve party plans, college bowl games, heated early season college and high school basketball tournaments, as well as the beginning of the end of the NFL season all begin to take their turns creating their own effects on most of our lives. And even some of us who do not involve ourselves in many of these end of year traditions and customs we usually either live with or are close to people who are head and toes deep within these holiday activities.
Thanksgiving is a holiday made official in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln in order for the nation to give "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens". Most of what Americans know about Thanksgiving is the first Thanksgiving day celebrated by Pilgrims and Native Americans. The celebration occurred after the Pilgrims first harvest of the New World back in 1621. Unfortunately in the midst of the commercials, sales, food, school programs, and all the media attention, the giving thanksgiving and praise to God part of the holiday has been almost entirely forgotten while turkey, cornbread, and stuffing receive much attention. The public and even many private schools keep their mouths shut tight regarding giving any reference to God for providing Lincoln the motivation for such a fascinating holiday while giving all the praise to the Puritans and Native Americans. Not only do both young and old American citizens miss out on experiencing the joy in giving thanks to God for all He has provided they are also poorly educated and misled on the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
Now the United States travels along with the rest of the world toward the Christmas holiday which as some Christians know very well is taught incorrectly in the world as a holiday celebrating Santa Claus, his reindeers, Christmas trees, and giving presents. Yes the three kings gave presents to baby Jesus when they visited Him but the Bible makes no mentioning of a Santa Claus nor did the disciples or early Christians erect trees within their homes for the purpose of planting gifts. Yet this is what we hear from the media world as well as from our government, the world's atheist viewpoint of Christmas minus the Christ. So as the world customarily does, they will repeatedly say "Happy Holidays" in order to intentionally leave Christ out of Christmas. "Happy Holidays" for much of society serves as a selfish way of celebrating Christ's birthday without having to give God any praise or any self sacrifice other than to simply comfort ourselves and those around us. So much of our country and much of the world, goes out shopping, buying, feasting while spinning further into debt. Many of us our fattening ourselves silly, drunkening our minds and spirits, while some drive themselves deep into sadness, depression as they return back to jobs and a way of life many are too proud to admit that they really don't enjoy.
Why does this happen? Why are so many people sad during this journey from Thanksgiving to Christmas during what is suppose to be the happiest time of the year? Why do so many people feel depressed during the time where many workers have or take time of from work to be around loved ones? Because most of America, the world is celebrating the wrong thing with the wrong purpose.
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever" 1 John 2:15–17.
America who do we love more? Santa Clause, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, turkeys, Pilgrims, Native Americans with Puritans eating corn, opening presents, end of the year parties, countdowns,? Where are our priorities? What would Jesus say if He was hanging out with you on New Years eve? Time is coming world. Oh time is coming. He is coming and He is coming soon. While spending time watching "Frosty the Snowman" and singing "Jingle Bells", fellow Christians, girls, boys, men, women who simply love the sound of Jesus, lets speak up. Speak up for Christ. Tell your friends, neighbors, brothers, sisters, parents, the real meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas. And most importantly embrace Christ within our hearts. After all we are giving thanks to Him as well as celebrating His birth. | <urn:uuid:7056c8da-e5d0-43c4-bf5a-d6710f201ae2> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://chikexyz.blogspot.com/2013/12/journeying-from-thanksgiving-to.html | 2017-08-17T01:37:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886102819.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817013033-20170817033033-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.961686 | 1,018 |

Sequel to THE EXPLOSIONIST (2008), INVISIBLE THINGS will be published by HarperTeen in November 2010. Check here for event details and other features.
(this is modified version of a comment I just left on your light reading blog). I was just on the panel that shortlisted The Explosionist for the Cybils Awards (congratulations!), and I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad it was nominated, and it was a great pleasure to make it a finalist. As I think I am going to say in the review I think I am going to write later today, one thing I especially like is that this book is in many ways a continuation of the 20th century British tradition of plucky school girls foiling enemy plots. I was wondering if you yourself were a fan of such stories...
Congratulations ! Do you know when the book will be published in paperback ? Happy 2009 !

In many K-dramas, it is common to see romantic moments unfold in a park during autumn.
With stunning fall foliage as the backdrop, it is not hard to picture why many tender moments are shared at the park.
One of the most romantic things to do in Seoul, as I found out on a recent trip with my husband, is to rent a bike and ride through Yeouido Hangang Park (bit.ly/2aNWRPg).
Sure, you can cycle any time of the year in the South Korean capital, but the weather in autumn is crisp, there is no hay fever-inducing pollen in the air and the flaming red leaves give off a more passionate vibe than the sweet, innocent cherry blossoms of spring.
Yeouido Hangang Park is located on one side of the Han River, a major waterway in South Korea. The cycling trails are just along the river, where you can also hop on the Han River cruise (bit.ly/2ql0lRs).
The bicycle rental stalls here do brisk business. Prices start from about 3,000 won (S$3.70) an hour depending on the operator, with additional fees for late returns.
Choose from three types of rides: cruiser ones in white or pink, mountain bikes and tandem or two-seater bikes.
Though the cycling paths are not challenging, a mountain bike allows you to tackle the numerous inclines with a lot less leg power. I rented a cruiser bike and regretted it every time I had to go up a slope.
To finish a decent 16.8km spin in the park, which spans over 1.4 million sq m and 8.4km in length, would take under two hours.
But, of course, give yourself more time if you want to make pit stops and wander off to the many boardwalks along the way, and the pockets of flower fields that make for a great photo backdrop.
Our discovery of the flower fields was rather serendipitous. We had taken a wrong turn on the way back and realised it only when we came across the fields, which we had not passed before.
As Yeouido is Seoul's main financial district, you will also cycle past glassy skyscrapers and a massive blue domed building that is home to the National Assembly (bit.ly/ 2CUUH00), which is also a popular tourist attraction because of its beautiful architecture. Tours are free, but make your booking at least three days in advance.
If you wish to go farther, there is a 25km cycling path to Amsa-dong, a neighbourhood that was previously a prehistoric settlement site. Here, you can learn about the Neolithic Age from exhibitions, mud huts and relics such as earthenware.
If cycling is not your cup of tea, camp out and chill in the park.
Many people are content to lie back on the grass or on square frames with nets stretched acrossto nap, read or listen to music.
Others fly kites.
The locals love to go on picnics and do so often. Many groups come with wagons and with foldable tents, tray tables and mats. Tents can also be rented at the park.
After our two-hour bike ride, we walked around the park and found a spot on the net-like structures, where we had intended to take a nap. Unfortunately, our plans were soon ruined by rowdy teenage boys.
But we did not want to leave the park, so we went for a 40-minute return ride on the river cruise.
By the time the sun set, the park was almost covered by tents, some of which were whimsically decorated with fairy lights and lanterns.
When their food and drink ran out, the picnickers made their way up the hill to the bustling convenience store or makeshift stalls ran by perm-haired ajummas (Korean for aunties) that sold gimbap (seaweed rice rolls), instant noodles and eggs.
They waited patiently as their noodles were cooked in cardboard trays and then carefully carried the piping-hot noodle soup back to their spot in the park.

Aston Villa 1-1 CSKA Moscow – UEFA Cup – Highlights
John Carew’s equaliser for Aston Villa set up a tantalising second-leg Uefa Cup tie against CSKA Moscow after an entertaining match at Villa Park.
The visitors took the lead after the impressive Vagner Love finished a move he had started inside his own half.
Villa improved as the game progressed, with Craig Gardner hitting the crossbar with a header before Carew’s leveller.
Ashley Young’s cross found Gardner and the left-back set up Carew, who struck low beyond Igor Akinfeev from 12 yards.
Visiting manager Zico predicted Villa would have “lost some of their power” following their FA Cup exit to Everton at the weekend.
While it took the home side some time to come to terms with the Russians’ deft movement and passing, Villa showed no ill-effects from their defeat at Goodison Park.
Indeed, Villa, playing their 41st game of a season that began back in July, were unfortunate not to take a lead into the second leg in Moscow with both Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young missing chances late on. | <urn:uuid:df49abd3-3a65-4404-bf0f-3a2b89ee62d1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.eplmatches.com/europa-league/aston-villa-vs-cska-moscow-uefa-cup-highlights/1686/ | 2021-10-26T11:47:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587877.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026103840-20211026133840-00544.warc.gz | en | 0.961505 | 248 |

I care about grades. I care about grades a lot. I pretend not to because our culture is such that appearing to care about school is a character flaw. But so is not doing well.
Today, I skimmed this article about how the “world is run by C students” — an opinion I’ve heard before, but widely ignored because I know it doesn’t apply to me. But for some reason today, I opened it up and skimmed through it.
Bill Gates, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, the list rattled on. They have “run the world” despite being “mediocre” students.
“So why can’t you?,” The article argues.
It’s an interesting perspective, one meant to be encouraging to the students whose intelligence does not quite correspond with academia, but it’s one I feel uncomfortable thinking about. Maybe it’s because while I’m not the straight-A student this article juxtaposes, I’m also not a C student — but I could be. If I didn’t feverishly overwork myself, in fact, I would be.
But the thing is, I’m not Bill Gates. I’m not Joe Biden. I’m not George W. Bush. And I don’t mean that in a literal sense or even to allude to the fact that I might not be as ‘smart’ as them. I’m not them because I can’t get away with mediocrity the same way they were able to.
Women, People of Color, Low-Income students don’t get to just let school happen to them. We don’t get to be mediocre. If we are, suddenly people question our existence in academic spaces. If we are, suddenly people use us as examples of how systems of affirmative action are flawed. We become reduced to another cog in the supposed unfair system.
But no one ever uses the mediocrity of a white students to condemn white supremacy. No one uses the mediocrity of men to condemn patriarchy. No one uses the mediocrity of rich students to condemn classist education systems.
We don’t have the privilege of individualism — we represent the groups we are a part of, and we must prove our existence over and over again.
That’s a lot of pressure to carry.
So I do care about grades, and I care about grades a lot. And it’s not because I think grades are an accurate representation of my intelligence. It’s not because I get some sort of sadistic pleasure from stressing myself over grades. It’s because I just can’t afford to do poorly. I can’t afford to “waste” my college education because doing so means risking my chance of future financial stability. It means risking all the work my parents and I have put into getting here in the first place.
And that’s just something I can’t play around with.
So when I hear my peers joke about how unimportant an assignment is, I’m reminded that I don’t have the luxury of mediocrity. I’m reminded that for them, getting C’s is a choice and not a result of educational inequality propelled by my class and racial identities.
I don’t have the luxury of shrugging off my sub par academic performance because, for me, the consequences are much higher. And for me, even my hardest work is oftentimes not enough because I didn’t spend thirteen years of primary and secondary school preparing me for the academic intensity of college.
So perhaps it’s true that C students are the ones who “run the world.” Perhaps these articles are right and being a C student is a pre-req for high-level success. But let us not forget the first requisite of all: privilege.
Steve Jobs. Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg. There’s no doubt they’re brilliant men, but before we rattle on about how C-students and college dropouts are running the world, let’s not forget the position these brilliant men were in to accomplish all that they did. Let us not forget their maleness, their whiteness, their wealth.
The intentions of these articles are good. By reminding college students that “grades aren’t everything,” maybe we can comfort the over-worked and hyper-stressed students struggling to get through college, even if only for a brief moment.
But maybe we can accomplish this without undermining the hard work students put into school — especially those whose existence in college is already revolutionary, and especially for those whose only option for financial stability is struggling through an education system that was never built for them.
So maybe these students aren’t the future tech personality giants, but their presence and work is no less crucial for the future of our society.
Let us never, ever forget that.

The Anishinabe Spiritual Centre has two chapels, one smaller and one larger. The smaller chapel contains the Blessed Sacrament. In this chapel, Mass is offered to our guests most days (at 11:45 Tuesday to Friday, and 4:30 on Saturdays). It can seat up to 20-25 people. The larger chapel is hexagonal in shape, taking its inspiration from designs in-the-round. This chapel features large windows that ensure plenty of light, providing a view of Anderson Lake. It also features a wooden sculpture of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. A painting by Blake Debassige, called The Tree of Life, serves as the chapel’s crucifix. The larger chapel can seat up to 60-85 people, and can also be used as a meeting space. | <urn:uuid:b7968ed6-e273-4973-a771-86531a16d41d> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.anishinabespiritualcentre.ca/about-the-centre-2/facilities/chapel-asc/ | 2017-12-11T06:22:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948512208.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171211052406-20171211072406-00446.warc.gz | en | 0.955999 | 163 |

Technically, the fellas had three nominations to their name heading into Sunday night: Thanks to the duo's work with Lil Wayne on Tha Carter III, Play-N-Skillz was up for hardware in the Album of the Year, Best Rap Album and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration categories.
And, sure enough, the Dallas products, who attended the event with their father in tow, walked with a win when Tha Carter III took the Best Rap Album title. As such, we reached out to the duo earlier this week to offer our congratulations and to get their thoughts on what the win means to their careers.
What'd they have to say?
"This win makes me feel even more motivated to continue to make good music," Play said. "And it shows me that my brother and I are on the right track and doing what we were meant to do,"
And Skillz? "Winning our second Grammy and being nominated five times really helps solidify that we belong here."

Have you ever considered the use of steroids? The consideration of steroids have always come about to almost any athlete. There are many side-effects and risks associated with the use of anabolics, and they are discussed here.
RELATED: testosterone booster for men over 40
There are many different kinds of anabolic steroids of today. They are highly used in professional sports such as baseball, football, wrestling, olympics and others. They are especially highly used in the sport of bodybuilding.
Anabolic steroids provide a competitive edge for athletes for any sport they may participate in. Steroids are used to mainly increase muscle mass and also boost athletic performance. These are some of the reasons why people take steroids. There are also some that aren’t involved in athletics, but take steroids mainly for looks. With the benefits of anabolics, there are also consequences from the use of steroids.
RELATED: Adipex diet pills over the counter
There are several side-effects of steroids, both for men and women. Side-effects of anabolics may vary depending on the type, duration of use, dosage and individual response from the use of the drug.
Side-effects for men include; acne on the face, increased facial hair, decreased sperm count, shrunk testicles, reduced libido, liver damage, roid rage, increased aggressive-ness, male-pattern baldness, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, impotence, gynocomastia(development of breast tissue in males) and mood swings. Men who are also proned to baldness increase their rate of male pattern baldness by taking steroids.
RELATED: Keto weight loss supplements
You may also completely stop the natural production of hormones such as testosterone with the use of anabolics. Anabolic steroids also have been linked to cardiovascular problems, and may cause heart disease of long term use of drugs. Anabolics may also permanently stunt your bone growth by causing your growth plates to close. There is also a possibility of male prostate enlargement. Steroids are also linked to kidney disease due to the increased work production of the filtration and excretion systems of the body.
RELATED: Phentermine weight loss Pills
Women may also experience with most of the side-effects stated above. Enlargement of the clitoris, deepening of the voice, and increased bodily and facial hair may occur throughout the use of anabolic steroids with women. You may be asking yourself, is it worth it? Are steroids worth the risk? It is advised that the use of steroids are not encouraged. With the many side-effects already mentioned, it is plain obvious that using steroids are dangerous. So as I tell you now; be smart, be safe, and make the right ethical decision. It’s your move from here. | <urn:uuid:057856c6-ca82-4002-ac6f-cf8b6b589753> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | http://www.craftpatternwarehouse.com/2021/11/18/anabolic-steroids/ | 2022-05-19T09:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662526009.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519074217-20220519104217-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.960446 | 576 |
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department today announced that on Sept. 12, 2006, the federal government will monitor primary elections in Cochise County, Ariz. and in Kings, Queens, and Westchester Counties, N.Y., to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
Under the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department is authorized to ask the Office of Personnel Management to send federal observers to areas that are specifically covered by the Act, itself, or by a federal court order. Federal observers will be assigned to monitor polling place activities in Kings County based on the special coverage provisions and in Westchester County pursuant to a federal court order entered in 2005.
The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours at polling locations in these counties. Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.
In addition, Justice Department personnel will monitor the primary elections in Cochise County, Ariz. and Queens County, N.Y.
Each of the monitored counties has an obligation to provide all election information, ballots, and voting assistance information in one or more minority languages pursuant to Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act. The observers and monitors will gather information concerning compliance.

Economic Advisory Council, has interalia recommended removal of levy
obligation on sugar mills. The Committee has further recommended that
the states which want to provide sugar under PDS may henceforth procure
it from the market directly according to their requirement and may also
fix the issue price. The recommendations of the Committee are under
consideration of the Government.
Some cane farmers have supported the proposal. The views of State
Governments have been invited.

Ed Sheeran’s Substance Abuse Revelations Are A Lesson In Self-Care
In October 2015, Ed Sheeran announced he would be taking a year off. And according to a People exclusive, the singer has now revealed during an upcoming episode of The Jonathan Ross Show that this hiatus was for Sheeran to deal with substance abuse issues. This revelation feels bigger than just an explanation of where the star was during 2016 — Sheeran's revelations are a lesson in self-care for anyone who has trouble prioritizing their health over their career.
According to MTV, in 2015, the singer stated that he would be taking a year off to "get rid of my iPhone, get rid of internet, get a Nokia 3310 and just go off into the wilderness somewhere for a bit." The website also reported that Sheeran stated that his life during this time consisted of texting and answering emails and this was what prompted him to get rid of his phone.
However, according to the star's new television interview (which, according to TVGuide.co.uk will air on Saturday, October 21 on British channel ITV), there was a different cause. He stated:
I think you need to, when you get into the industry, adjust to it — and I didn’t adjust because I was constantly working on tour. And all the pitfalls that people read about, I just found myself slipping into all of them. Mostly, like, substance abuse. I never touched anything. I started slipping into it, and that’s why I took a year off and buggered off.
He explained the entire process didn't happen overnight; things happened gradually, until "some people took me to one side and were like, ‘Calm yourself down.’"
"It’s all fun to begin with, it all starts off as a party and then you’re doing it on your own," Sheeran said.
Thankfully, the star explained that this had been a wake-up call, leading to his year out of the spotlight. Counterintuitively, one helpful factor in his recovery from abusing, or starting to abuse, the unnamed substance was his work — he described how he found it difficult to compose music under the influence, so writing songs (rather than performing) became a refuge. He also cited his girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn, as another positive influence. "I was a 25-year-old in the music industry on tour so I just needed someone to balance me out," he said.
While the singer doesn't name a substance, Sheeran's March 2017 cover story for Rolling Stone alluded to the star's heavy alcohol consumption, with him drinking "espresso martinis and rum-punch shots at dinner, gin and tonics at the bar" and encouraging his friends to down pints to a drinking song. The piece also detailed his songwriting partner Johnny McDaid's concern about his drinking when he saw the Brit in Hollywood in 2015. The article quotes McDaid as saying, "I sat him down and said, 'Look, man, please have all the fun in the world. But be careful because if that elastic snaps, it could take a long time to recover from it.'"
Given the 26-year-old's prolific output in the years leading up to 2016 — he released albums in 2011 and 2014 and single "Rudimental" in 2015 — it implies how hard it must have been to take a year off from being a musician in the public eye. As such, it feels inspiring to learn that him feeling he was "slipping into" substance abuse — rather than hitting rock bottom — was a signal for him to take some time out purely to focus on himself, to re-calibrate, to focus on the things that make him happy (from the sounds of things, crafting songs, spending time with the person he loves most) rather than maintaining his professional image, whether via playing shows or posting on social media.
Not having to operate as a famous musician as he would do at work, but getting the chance to take some real time off just like anyone else would seemed important to the star. According to E! Online, in a BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show interview, he explained that on traveling, he deliberately chose to head to Japan because "no one really cares about [him] in Japan."
"I specifically picked places that I wasn't really liked," he said.
This also feels like an important aspect of self-care when you're engaging in destructive behavior, potentially related to work stress — turning off your ego as a way of being kind to yourself. It's easy to end up fielding work calls at 11 p.m. or pulling weekend shifts because you feel like you're essential to a project turning out OK. But as Sheeran's year off suggests, the world will keep turning, even without your input.
If, as according to Forbes, "the male musician with the biggest first week in history" in the United Kingdom can prioritize himself and his mental health over his incredible career, then so can any of us. Turn off your phone more. Don't respond to that work email until Monday. Carve out time and space to adjust to the pressures of whatever industry you work in. And if you're a fan of Sheeran, you can know it's what your favorite songwriter would suggest, anyway. | <urn:uuid:32b7a923-0e13-495c-a94b-ea3f9c06937c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bustle.com/p/ed-sheerans-substance-abuse-revelations-are-a-lesson-in-self-care-2958815 | 2019-06-18T09:07:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998708.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618083336-20190618105336-00249.warc.gz | en | 0.987402 | 1,106 |

52-year-old NRI alleges rape in Goa

A 52-year-old non-resident Indian woman has alleged that she was raped in a renowned five star hotel in Goa [Images].
Panaji police have registered a case after they received the communication from Delhi police, with whom the woman has filed the complaint.
Police stated that the incident occurred on March 7 in a five star hotel where she was dragged into a room from a stairway and raped by an unknown person.
The incident was reported to Delhi police on March 17.
Panaji police, confirming the receipt of complaint, said that they will call the victim to Goa, as she is required for a medical examination. | <urn:uuid:37fcc374-f820-4004-99aa-722920bee10e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/apr/02goa2.htm | 2018-06-19T07:14:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861980.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619060647-20180619080647-00579.warc.gz | en | 0.984127 | 166 |
Lost and found
When Paul and Joyce Werner celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary early this week, they had something that had been missing for 40 years—her wedding ring.
She had lost the ring 40 years ago and, as you might expect, was stunned with surprise when it turned up. “I just was speechless,” Mrs. Werner was quoted in an ABC News story as saying, adding: “I’m not really ever speechless.” The ring still fits and she was wearing it for their anniversary.
The ring turned up during a bathroom remodeling job in the house where the Werners lived in Greensburg, IN, when they were first married. The current owner of the house, Rita Hellmich, 63, said the ring popped out when one of the contractors took out the existing vanity. He gave it to Mrs. Hellmich, thinking it was hers. Noticing that the initials on the ring coincided with the initials of the original owners of the house, Mrs. Hellmich decided she would try to find them.
She knew the Werners were originally from the Batesville, IN, area. So, she obtained a Batesville phone directory and began calling all the Werners she could find. Eventually, she reached one of Paul Werner’s cousins, who notified Paul Werner. “When I came home, there was a message on my answering machine,” Mrs. Hellmich said. “It was Mr. Werner, and they were just ecstatic. He told me the story of the ring, about losing it 40 years ago and their anniversary was coming up.”
The Werners quickly hit the road to go retrieve the ring.
Mrs. Hellmich said she was married for 35 years before her husband died and she put his wedding band on a necklace. The necklace fell off one day and she thought the ring was lost for good. But she retraced her steps and found the ring. “I know how important that ring of mine was to find, and I knew it was probably important for the Werners to be reconnected with their ring, also.”
It was important to the Werners, and having the ring back made their 45th anniversary even more special.
Surely, you will agree that this is a story with a nice ring to it. | <urn:uuid:b755bfe6-0e17-4f7c-a7c6-190d69058f80> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://harryhix.com/2013/02/08/for-what-its-worth-67/ | 2020-07-05T22:45:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655889877.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705215728-20200706005728-00433.warc.gz | en | 0.992512 | 492 |

This had to be one of the most best movies of the year. It started fast and kept the momentum going. Before I knew it the movie was over, and I wanted more.
Go see this movie in the theater before its to late!

Bottom line, a silly movie with lots of special effects. There are some scary moments, particularly in the start, but the movie gets bogged down with trying to suspend our disbelief and make us actually think any of the plot is plausible. At one point the zombies, close up, look funny and the audience actually laughs. That's the deathknell, right there.

World War Z aims to be the Spartacus of zombie flicks--it features zombie attacks on a scale never filmed before. Since these are PG-13 zombie attacks there is no gore or flesh eating which will undoubtedly disappoint some, but it's undeniably impressive to watch thousands of zombies swarm cities. World War Z is a movie of spectacular set pieces without much in the way of connective tissue--basically Brad Pitt travels from place to place and each place he visits is an excuse for another set piece involving rampaging zombies. In spite of the reported 5 screenwriters that's pretty much all that's going on in the movie. Still the set-pieces work so well that the movie is a lot of fun--until the much-ballyhooed and extremely lame new ending which was supposed to give the movie heart but is, in reality, talky, anti-climactic and illogical. I don't know if the original ending with the zombie battle in Moscow worked or not but the new ending most definitely does not.
Written October 20, 2014
I didn't know what to expect of this movie but I figured with Brad Pitt and zombies, how could you lose? It was very suspenseful without being gory. The zombies were creepy and really fast! The story was pretty good and the ending left you hanging which means there must be a sequel in the works! PG-13 was appropriate but some younger kids could probably handle it. I recommend this movie to zombie lovers!
Written June 24, 2013
World War Z is not as gorey as previous zombie movies. which is ok for me. it's more about the story of how the people started turning into zombies and how to avoid becoming one. the cinematography is great, taking you to many different places around the world. I and my husband enjoyed this movie. | <urn:uuid:cc014b5e-beca-4988-b169-849d18fb6a5b> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.fandango.com/worldwarz_136726/moviereviews?sort=5&pn=3 | 2015-05-07T03:10:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430460160413.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501060240-00003-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979869 | 518 |

All Christians have a general trust in the Lord. We stand on a few promises that apply to the whole body of Christ, such as:
"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).
"All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly" (Psalm 84:11).
These well-known promises have brought great comfort and blessing to God's people worldwide for many centuries. Yet, beyond these general promises, God gives us specific promises for special times, hard times. We must know them and bring them with us when we come boldly to His throne of grace.
The Puritans, who were mightily blessed of God, said every promise of the Lord is a holy argument. They believed a Christian should not come before the Lord with just a general faith.
When God tells you to come boldly before the throne of grace, to receive mercy and grace in your time of need, you cannot have just a general idea of why you are there. You cannot just say, "Okay, Lord, You know my heart. Give me whatever You see fit."
That may sound good but God has specific promises for specific times in our lives. He wants us to lay hold of these promises with our hearts so that we might stand strong and assured as we reason with Him. He wants us to stand before His throne having perfect consolation, absolute assurance and no doubts whatsoever!
Maybe the reason you are not hearing from God is that you have given Him a general faith without being specific with Him. God says, "Come, bring forth your strong reasons (see Isaiah 41:21). Why should I do this for you? Why should I bless you?" He knows why, of course, but He also wants you to know why!

While you may have heard about tongue scraping for cleaning the mouth, you do not want to forget brushing beneath the tongue as well. The following information will give you more insight about why brushing the tongue—top and bottom—is important to your dental health.
Why You Should Also Brush Under the Tongue
Besides scraping away harmful bacteria with a tongue scraper, don't forget to clean the whole tongue, as bacteria can make sneak attacks from beneath the tongue. If you don't have a tongue scraper, use a soft toothbrush to brush the tongue on top and beneath it. That way, you will ensure the health of both your teeth and gums. Also, brushing the tongue (all of it) will assist in keeping your teeth free of damage. Brushing the teeth too often can harm the enamel, so brushing the tongue is helpful in an at-home program of dental hygiene. Not only does it get rid of the germs that cause bad breath, it also reduces plaque and acid attacks.
How Should You Brush Beneath the Tongue?
To brush the tongue, softly brush the tongue from the back to the front. Never brush the tongue too hard, as you may injure it. By cleaning the tongue, you can keep your breath fresh and teeth cavity-free. To ensure the best dental care, spend time brushing the tongue and teeth as well as the gum line. Take about two minutes per session cleaning the tongue when you brush your teeth. Brushing the tongue will also enliven the taste buds, so you can eat food and enjoy better nutrition.
As you can see, you need to focus on all areas of the mouth so you keep it perfectly clean. If you need further advice, don't hesitate to contact our office. To ensure the best oral health, you need to concentrate on all areas of the oral cavity, not just the gums and teeth.
Come visit us soon We look forward to adding your smile to our collection. | <urn:uuid:b24a5bc8-d411-4147-bc08-86aebd130b74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.brianroundsdds.com/p/BLOG-74823-2020.8.24-How-Often-Do-You-Really-Brush-Under-Your-Tongue-p.asp | 2023-10-02T05:49:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510967.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20231002033129-20231002063129-00224.warc.gz | en | 0.927067 | 402 |

I recently stepped out of my comfort zone yet again, and entered a pankration tournament in Boston.

Bush’s trip to Africa is being heralded by the U.S. media as if he is the Messiah who will solve all of Africa’s problems.
Indeed it is a good gesture when a President decides to visit the continent which has never been the top agenda of the U.S. government. In fact, the United States has a historic obligation to Africa which it has failed to meet.
For many of us, this is just another trip that is intended by the Republican administration to boost its image on compassionate conservatism and increase potential for re-election in November. We would like to believe that it is more than rhetoric, but the facts seem to prove otherwise.
For real and substantive changes to be made in Africa, the U.S. needs to make a commitment to at least two areas:
1. Debt cancellation
Every year, the poorest African nations are forced to pay billions of dollars in debt servicing, paying the interest on bilateral and multilateral loans. How did this happen? Multinational institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, plus major commercial loans, have been used to buy allies in Africa. It did not matter to these countries or institutions that the leaders were not democratically elected or that the funds were not being used for development purposes. Continued lending with no accountability has resulted in enormous debts which are beyond the capability of most African governments to meet. A majority of African countries are paying more to servicing the debt than for their national health and education budgets combined. National organizations like Africa Action and the Jubilee USA Network have been calling for the total cancellation of what are considered illegitimate debts. South Africa is a good example. For decades, the White-minority led apartheid government took out loans to boost its military to suppress the majority voices of the country. Today’s democratically elected government of South Africa is burdened with apartheid debt which the IMF and the World Bank do not want to consider canceling.
2. Funding to fight HIV/AIDS
Africa is the epicenter of the AIDS pandemic. The entire continent has only 10% of the global population at some 800 million people. Yet 70% of people living with HIV and dying of AIDS are on the continent.
We all saw the headlines following President Bush’s State of the Union address promising $15 billion over five years for fighting AIDS in Africa. Yet, the D.C.-based Washington Office on Africa states, “While $3 billion a year has been authorized by Congress, the president has requested no additional funds for this fiscal year and less than $2 billion for fiscal year 2004, including only $200 million, instead of $1 billion, for the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria. News reports say Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning to approve even less than the president’s low request.”
On Thursday, July 19th, the House Appropriations Foreign Operations Subcommittee will propose the actual amount the U.S. will give to fight global AIDS in 2004. Advocates all over the U.S. are calling for the subcommittee to provide at least $3.5 billion, of which $1.7 should go to the Global Fund.
There are many more issues of small arms and the “blood diamonds” which continue to fuel conflicts and divisions in Africa. Africa is not ridden with problems, as suggested by its image as presented in the media; it is also a continent rich with resources and positive changes and contributions that take place every day.
The top headline topics that we see accompanying the Bush trip to Africa are Liberia and Zimbabwe. The discussions about these countries are reduced to leaders Charles Taylor and the controversial President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. But the problems of Africa are a whole lot more complex than just leadership. For real and substantive changes to be made, it is necessary to examine the deep history of injustice that has taken place over the past centuries and propose changes to current policies which continue to undermine Africa’s right to development.
Bay Area residents are proud to have been part of the history of the anti-apartheid movement. Many thought it was not a struggle that could be won, but the support of people in the U.S., working closely with people in Africa toppled the apartheid regime. We can do this again with the AIDS issue — lest we look back and regret our inaction.

Soon the study of Greek was introduced into England, also, first at Oxford; and it was cultivated with such good results that when, early in the sixteenth century, the great Dutch student and reformer, Erasmus, unable through poverty to reach Italy, came to Oxford instead, he found there a group of accomplished scholars and gentlemen whose instruction and hospitable companionship aroused his unbounded

I followed this recipe exactly, but the second time I made it I cut the paprika by one tablespoon and was glad I did. I haven't made the accompanying sauce or coleslaw recipes yet. Next time. Truly, making this is so easy that it feels like cheating to call it cooking.
And now a recipe that's far more elegant but JUST AS EASY: Gruyère cheese puffs.
The choux pastry is just like what you'd make for a cream puff, but adding bits of cheese turns it into a savory appetizer called a gougere. They taste best still warm from the oven, but the recipe says you can freeze and then reheat them later, which I would imagine would be good too. I always get intimidated by the thought of a piping bag; these are just dropped by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.
And finally, to maintain balance in the universe, here are some labor-intensive miniature soft pretzels. I actually found it relaxing to roll these out and form them. I'd been wanting to try this recipe for a while (I used to eat a soft pretzel every day when we lived in Germany) and a church small-group clam chowder night (mmm, it was good) gave me a reason to go to the trouble. I accidentally undercooked them a bit, but it worked out perfectly after sticking them back in the oven to warm up at our destination. Phew. | <urn:uuid:8613282a-2d8a-4a42-9d72-20d296544979> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://martinseke.blogspot.com/2010/04/cookin.html | 2017-08-18T03:00:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104560.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818024629-20170818044629-00449.warc.gz | en | 0.974509 | 298 |

I could tell by the cover that Backyard was going to be a gorgeous book, so I was delighted when Walker Books sent us a copy for review.
This one is an exploration of the sorts of things you might find in a backyard at dusk. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and the words are lyrical and read like poetry (but not in the rhyming poetry way of many kids’ books) – with text like “one last-light dragonfly making infinite swooping eights” this one was also a great vocab builder for my mini-bookworm.
I feel like the joy of this book is in how lovely the words sound read-aloud, and how gorgeous the illustrations are, so I don’t think it really has a minimum age for children to enjoy it. The gentle and peaceful tone of this book, along with the night time setting, and appearance of the moon at the end, make Backyard perfect for a bedtime story.

On Thursday nights, the basement of Gilbert Cellars transforms from chic wine room to upscale dance hall. Known simply as Salsa Thursdays, the weekly event is hosted by the newly formed Yakima Salsa Dance Company. The company is made up of local salsa enthusiasts, including new-to-town television reporter Karma Dickerson and David Blancas, who serves as the group’s DJ.
The salsa dance originates from Cuban and other Afro-Cuban folkloric dancing. Today’s salsa dancing is a rich blend of Latin American and Western influences.
“Myself and a few other people who love to dance got together and brainstormed how we could grow an awareness for the sport and create a fun environment for dancing right here in Yakima,” Dickerson said. With an average of 50 people — and sometimes as many as 80 — coming to dance each week, the founders and organizers are thrilled to see interest build.
“We see new faces every week,” Dickerson said. “People are driving from Ellensburg and the Tri-Cities to come and dance on Thursdays.”
The event is typically held at Gilbert Cellars in downtown Yakima (although it’s moved to Seasons Performance Hall as an
alternate location as well) where the basement is a terrific venue with its elegant decorations, tasty wines and availability of food.
Each Thursday begins with a half-hour dance lesson taught by salsa experts and teachers Sal Castaneda and Eva Valdivia. With classes open to anyone who wants to try, the organizers are committed to making salsa dancing as nonintimidating as possible. Castaneda and Valdivia give students lively and inspirational instruction: “Ladies – fingers like you’re holding an egg!” says Valdivia during a recent session. To the men Castaneda says, “Look macho!”
“Anyone can join us,” Dickerson said. “A lot of times people having a glass of wine upstairs will hear the music and come downstairs to see what’s going on … After a glass of wine and a little instruction, they are out there dancing, having a great time.”
An estimated 70 percent of attendees are beginners, with teachers, experts and a few intermediate dancers rounding out each week’s group. “We are really focused on growing the community,” Dickerson said.
Before Salsa Thursdays, she said, there were places in town to take lessons, but nowhere where you could practice your moves on the dance floor. But now that’s changed.
“Salsa Thursdays have grown so much that I spend most of the night hosting, teaching, running around making sure everything is in order,” Dickerson said with a laugh. “But I love it and I still get at least five songs in.”

Free salsa lessons start at 7 p.m.

Next Episode of Секретный миллионер is
They rarely appear in public and do not want to expose their lives for show. They are successful businessmen, owners of multi-millionaire states, heads of large Russian companies and holders of controlling stakes. And they are ready to share their fortune with those who really need it.In the unprecedented reality of the TV channel "Friday!" Multimillionaires will hide under the guise of homeless vagrants, spend the night in shelters, work in factories and beg for alms in the streets. Sharks of business will plunge into the harsh realities of other people's everyday life, to learn the needs of ordinary people and to sacrifice considerable sums to the needy.Look, maybe this tramp, street musician or seller on the market is the "Secret millionaire" who is ready to give big money to someone who, in his opinion, is actually worthy of it.
Looks like something went completely wrong!

Today I would like to approach this problem from a different angle. How can you help friends who have slipped into this increasingly common problem?
Perhaps by viewing spiritual addiction in terms of some friends and acquaintances, you will gain a fresh perspective that can help you, too.
Because the prevalence of this problem has been increasing. Let’s start with that simple fact.
Why Spiritual Addiction has been growing
Spiritual Addiction could be likened to global warming. Do you live in America? Then you just lived through the hottest month on record. Compared with what? Only weather data collection since it started, over the past 117 years.
That month would have been July 2012. Higher temperatures than have been recorded since the U.S. Weather Service first began tracking temperatures! [Unfortunately at the time of this edit, the original article linked to in the previous sentence is no longer live.]
And it’s the same deal worldwide. Hottest temperatures on earth, global warming, unavoidable for people to notice! (Unless they choose not to notice.)
In terms of aura reading, all that global warming is bland compared to other ways that earth changes have been happening vibrationally.
Frequencies of consciousness on earth have been easier and easier to access. Why exactly? I leave the whys and cosmic discussions about this to folks who know more than me. All I can tell you for sure is that this is happening.
I am just a teacher of energetic literacy and a healer who uses techniques of Energy Spirituality to move out STUFF. My perspective comes here from earth, from doing aura reading and facilitating healing with real-life clients — over 1,000 session hours per year for many years now — and a history of working in New Age since 1970.
Invited to read their auras, I use Stage Three Energetic Literacy to research what is going on with chakra databanks, those tube-like structures of information that can be read in anybody’s aura. You have 50 chakra databanks in every major chakra, plus extra chakra databanks in subchakras. Hundreds in all!!!!!!!!
And like any other information that shows with aura reading, auras never lie.
The human capacity to rationalize is marvellous, really. We may lie to ourselves unintentionally. We may put truth into denial or work extra hard to make certain beliefs come true.
But chakra databanks are like that well-known analogy about car tires — where the rubber meets the road. Either a tire works well or it doesn’t.
What happens to chakra databanks as we experience new vibrational freedoms on Earth? It’s a great opportunity for spiritual evolution. Each of us can move forward much more rapidly on our personal path to Enlightenment.
Unless we are moving in an unproductive direction. In which case, Spiritual Addiction is a strong possibility. This syndrome shows clearly to anyone who can read auras with enough clarity to research chakra databanks.
Three choices, as the planet changes
With the huge changes happening on Earth, one way to respond is to resist the changes to consciousness…
Choice #1. Closing down spiritually
Choice #1 for handling the new awareness of energy involves resisting change. Could be called “Living in fear,” as well.
Choice #1 has also been flagged previously, at this blog, as developing gray slime. That means a type of STUFF that gets lodged in a person’s aura as a result of choosing “No” to spiritual invitations. (If you type that term in our blog’s SEARCH BOX you will find loads of posts about gray slime.)
Of course, ingenious humans don’t call themselves “Suffering from spiritual shutdown.” Instead, the person finds a way to cope, replete with fascinating nuances of belief system and lifestyle and politics, often sprinkled generously with self-righteousness.
Spiritual shutdown has a common denominator, though. The pattern shows with energetic literacy.
Chakra databanks about spiritual connection under-function. They slam way down, the quality rife with self-righteousness, superiority, fear, etc. Size of the chakra databanks becomes tiny, drastically under-functioning.
Meanwhile, chakra databanks about being human over-function. Energetically, there’s great emphasis on enjoying self, taking what’s “mine,” looking good on the surface of life, accumulating money and status objects.
In America, about 45% of human beings are living that choice. Meanwhile, another 45% are moving into the second choice, Spiritual Addiction.
Choice #2. Spiritual Addiction
With Choice #2, folks start living with an over-emphasis on spirituality or energy or religion or psychological self-analysis.
The person intensifies existing habits or workarounds that have been undertaken for psychological healing or spiritual growth.
Nobody I have met, nobody I have helped, not one single person, has made a conscious choice like, “Hey, why don’t I lose my connection to reality and go off on a fascinating side trip?”
Nobody says, “I’d really like my education at Earth School to include a noble-sounding, dead-end experiment.”
Instead, a person slip-slides into a shift of emphasis — to be discussed more in today’s post.
Overall, the common denominator with this shift is that chakra databanks devoted to spirituality etc. move into drastic over-functioning, up to trillions of miles out from the physical body.
Meanwhile, chakra databanks related to human functioning in objective reality — oops, they move into under-functioning or, even, temporary shutdown.
Of course, as Goldilocks could tell you, there has to be a third alternative…
Choice #3. Moving forward rapidly towards spiritual Enlightenment
Choice #3 is just sanity, folks. About 10% of Americans are moving ahead with chakra databanks that function in a pretty darned good balance.
You could call it a middle path. Or Choice #3 for responding to what’s happening now in 2012.
Choice #3 is only a path to Enlightenment. Moving forward on that path does not mean a person has already arrived at self-realization. More that the person is exploring a viable path for using the accelerated momentum of evolution available at this time.
This is the spectacle described in our recent blog post, When E.T. saints come marching in.
With Choice #3, STUFF can still be stuck at that subconscious level where people suffer. That subconscious level corresponding to what, in New Age terms, could be called “The astral level” or “The psychic level.”
Despite having STUFF, a person can live with Choice #3 and keep in contact with reality while having better spiritual experiences than ever. It’s wacky fun, actually.
Spiritual Addiction defined as positioning of consciousness
Not only does earth life offer us choices. Those choices aren’t clearly defined. Your sacred growth path could involve psychological health or a major world religion or shaking up that old version of religion and becoming disillusioned with it.
Then you could pursue your sacred growth path as Choice #1, Choice #2, or Choice #3. Really personal, isn’t it, how the rubber meets the road, how consciousness is positioned?
Beliefs and definitions and ideals could mean anything in terms of how you use your consciousness to relate to life. That angle you take, purposely or not, is what I mean by “positioning of consciousness.”
Here’s a New Age example. Ever hear of Law of Attraction or The Secret? How about New Thought religions, like Divine Science, Unity or Church of Divine Science? Or so many of the talented Hay House authors.
Then you’ll hear ideas like:
- “Thoughts are things” and
- “Think and grow rich” and
- “Pay attention to the coincidences. Always be on the lookout for synchronicity.”
Human consciousness flows in one direction at a time. We’re designed to pay attention to one thing at a time.
What, no labels like street signs to help you position your consciousness?
No, labels on earth are not here like street signs. It’s Earth SCHOOL, folks! How you position your consciousness does not come with street signs. Nor are there warning labels like “Watch out for Spiritual Addiction.”
A path that sounds absolutely beautiful can have disgusting consequences over time, showing up at the level of chakra databanks. For a mild sample, check out folks nominated for Rose Rosetree’s personal Enlightenment Life List.
Reading chakra databanks will show you the truth about what a spiritual path really delivers.
Either you can develop the aura reading skills on your own or, meanwhile, find someone with good skills at energetic literacy. Ask that person to research what on earth is going on with your chakra databanks.
Simplest of all, you can experiment with some lifestyle shifts that counteract Spiritual Addiction. You’ll see improvement to your quality of life after three weeks, most likely sooner. If you like those results keep up the new lifestyle.
Quality of life with Spiritual Addiction
Oh, it really stinks. A gradual and growing stink. Spiritual addiction is not beautiful, even if it results from following teachings that look and sound and emotionally feel beautiful.
Let’s say that you have a dear friend, GLADYS. While she talks with you, it feels half the time as though she isn’t really there.
She’s doing something with her consciousness, meanwhile pretending to go through the motions of the conversation.
If you talk about her particular path — be that analyzing problems of her past or working hard to manifest prosperity or What Would Jesus Do or messages from spirit, guides and angels –whatever GLADYS’ brand of Spiritual Addiction may be — once she gets to talk about her grand passion, you’ll see something fascinating.
Suddenly GLADYS will become animated, enthusiastic, fully present.
Once you return the conversation to everyday things, however, off goes GLADYS. Back to having her consciousness positioned on what is, supposedly, really important. Not “Mere reality, so trivial.”
How Spiritual Addiction feels on the inside, apart from the particulars of the belief system
Variations are infinite, and feel extremely personal. Here are common samples:
- I can’t get interested in everyday, trivial things. I’m much too evolved for that kind of thing now.
- I must find my purpose.
- I must live my passion.
- Regular people don’t understand.
- I only respect people who are doing the same kind of thing I am.
What is supposed to happen when perfect doing blah-blah-blah (the particular work of that Spiritual Addiction)?
Sure, just have a heart-to-heart with GLADYS and she will glow up telling you about the hard work she is doing and the glorious experience she is working towards.
If GLADYS only does more and more and more of the spiritual addiction-type path, supposedly, things like this will happen:
- All my problems will be solved.
- I’ll have money, respect, The Presence of God.
- I’ll be living from my Higher Self.
- No more problems.
- Never a disgusting, selfish human impulse.
- Everything I say and do will come from The Deep Place/ The Will of God/ What I am supposed to do/ My guidance/ The will of Spirit/ Universal Love/ Universal Peace/ The Light.
- Pigs will fly and laundry will sing on my clothesline.
Except Spiritual Addiction is not spiritual Enlightenment. Oops
If you research chakra databanks, which you can easily do as a skilled aura reader, what will become mega-obvious? You will find dramatic differences between spiritual Enlightenment and Spiritual Addiction.
In Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy my favorite chapter is Chapter 9, “Spiritual Addiction Versus Enlightenment.”
In book-length, systematic development, I have provided a sequence to help you understand this topic more fully. If it matters to you. (And why wouldn’t it?)
Your financial wellbeing isn’t all that depends on how you position your consciousness. Your love life, your social life, your self-esteem, your emotional growth, plenty is tied to what is happening right now – to your chakra databanks.
Only one person controls that. You.
Even at this blog, where I write exceptionally long posts for a blog, there’s no way I can approach the rigor of writing book-length exposition. But if this topic matters to you, you just might want to get yourself a copy of “Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy” and read it.
You sure aren’t going to find this perspective at Hay House Radio. Or at your local New Thought church. Although you might find a bit of it in Pathways Magazine, where I write a column on Energetic Literacy.
You may have many friends like GLADYS because that Choice #2 is way popular. I’m not kidding with my estimate of 45%.
So how can you help your friends with a Spiritual Addiction?
You might forward this post. Or have ONE conversation where you gently bring up the ideas in this post.
Why do I recommend having just one conversation? Because someone who is interested doesn’t need to be sold.
- Someone who is curious will pursue what feels better. (Your friend GLADYS might race like a bat out of hell…)
- Someone who is not curious is engaged in an important, beautiful experiment on earth, finding out what a particular path can deliver.
- No matter what your friend chooses, in the long run, there will be learning here at Earth School.
- Each person’s chosen spiritual path is sacred, not yours or mine to interfere with. (Offering a possibility ONCE does not count as interfering.)
Having a Spiritual Addiction may be surrounded with glorious language, plus loads of company, sometimes even cult reinforcement. However, the quality of life really stinks.
At a certain point, a person like GLADYS will hit bottom. Or she will see that bottom approaching quickly and try a different choice before all the big, honking drama.
When she chooses, she or anyone else, can fix a Spiritual Addiction. Here’s how.
Heal Spiritual Addiction as a form of time management
Yes, the problem is about positioning of consciousness. But your friend GLADYS or JOE is also human, so a magnificent remedy is available easily and freely.
It’s called “Being human.” As in “Speaking and acting in objective reality” a good deal of the time. Rather than “Withdrawing into subjective reality, working hard on a belief system or psychological or spiritual path.”
Being human, inserting yourself into regular human life, can serve as a kind of medicine for the spirit.
Allow just 20 minutes a day for the mind-body-spirit/consciousness shifting activities. “Woo-woo” activities for short. Within a couple of weeks, GLADYS can overcome most of the Spiritual Addiction.
Over time, that lifestyle will keep GLADYS stable and evolving rapidly along Choice #3.
What must fit into those 30 minutes a day, for GLADYS to overcome Spiritual Addiction?
- Prayers, scripture reading
- Contemplating reality or truth principles from the belief system
- Energy-based exercise like yoga, tai chi, chi gong
- Energy-based healing, where the practitioner or client focuses on energy
- Stealing away from spontaneous human experience to seek guidance from angels or Jesus or “Deep knowing, in contrast to my (supposedly) garbage-like spontaneous human emotions, ideas, reactions, and ways of solving problems.”
- Trying to live “From the heart” or “Figuring out what my guides tell me to do.”
- Dismissing human feelings, thoughts, ideas, and desires while striving to “Live from the big universal superior version of everything human.”
- Any other attempt to fake it in life, where GLADYS pretends to herself or others that she is more spiritually evolved than she happens to be. (Ironically, despite all her current problems, GLADYS is probably way more evolved than she fears.)
Only 20 minutes on the woo-woo? What on earth is GLADYS to do the rest of her waking hours?
Just live. Like a human. Having human interests, hobbies, activities. Talking to friends. Eating meals. Cleaning the bathroom.
Even spending hours each day on Twitter and Facebook would count as doing non-woo-woo activities.
Yes, it can feel hard at first, overcoming Spiritual Addiction
Exercise, talking to people, earning a living, humble human-type positioning of consciousness can feel so very unglamorous.
As with any addiction, a certain amount of stinking thinking is part of the problem.
After a couple of weeks, neurophysiologically certain changes occur. Thinking regains a clearer connection to human reality.
In terms of consciousness, vibrational positioning changes back to human frequencies as the core experience of everyday life.
Life does start to become fun again.
Over time, it can even become a delight.
Chakra databanks start working better, automatically. People respond better, too.
And, yes, money comes in much better.
Because money is made when a person connects forcefully to reality, saying and doing the things that support inner ideals.
Money does not just manifest for humans, earthlings, because of virtue or purity or believing that Abraham or other channeled beings are necessarily as loving and disinterested as they claim.
Still confused? Needing personal support?
Consider a session of Energy Spirituality with me or one of the RES Experts or apprentices in my Energy Spirituality Mentoring Program. Sometimes the particulars of a Spiritual Addiction can be hard to spot on one’s own.
- Personally, I have found that most clients with a Spiritual Addiction were shocked when I pointed it out to them, one chakra databank at a time, with personal details that were very familiar once pointed out.
- Personally, I have had clients send me thank you emails within 24 hours, noting how life has started shifting back to normal, just as a result of acknowledging the wonky vibrational positioning.
- Personally, I have had some clients come back strongly, a horrible Spiritual Addiction almost completely overcome, in just a week or two. While some other folks need a bit longer.
Why can Spiritual Addiction can heal so rapidly? Because, unlike a fondness for bourbon or love of reefer, there is no chemical component.
Once a person starts doing that 20-minutes/day rule — and stops ingrained habits of fleeing reality in favorite ways that used to seem like “improvements” — balance can be restored very rapidly.
Humans are designed to function well with consciousness positioned mostly at human frequencies.
Sure, you could learn more about the ins and outs of Spiritual Addiction and its alternatives from this blog. Or my books.
However, the free resource of this blog might be all that GLADYS needs. It’s very personal, making a choice about how to position your consciousness. Fixing Choice #1 or Choice #2 is an inside job.
All we humans are driving together down life’s highway. Wouldn’t it be more fun if people’s tires were inflated appropriately? Where the rubber meets the road — that’s the highway where you and GLADYS and JOE and I are all doing our best.
It’s only neighborly to point out a flat tire. | <urn:uuid:ad392f63-6732-44a0-85dc-fba7aa24c385> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.rose-rosetree.com/blog/2012/08/15/spiritual-addiction-help-friends-chakra-databanks-energetic-literacy-aura-reading/ | 2020-02-23T12:15:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145767.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223093317-20200223123317-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.924618 | 4,232 |

Most of the time, when people think of what churches do, they think “indoctrination.” It makes sense. Churches have schools, offer education and preach a particular story. I don’t think it is the primary role of the church, but it is one role that churches have had.
And indoctrination is not all bad: some people do need to be reminded that they should do unto others good things. It’s a shortcut to thinking – a way of training one’s instincts for the good.
I want to suggest, however, that churches are primarily about something different: churches do relationships. (They also enchant the world, but that’s another essay).
“Relationship” happens before rules. Connecting happens before doctrine. It is from experiencing relationships that the church has had with all those people who have been in the church (and outside), that the church created doctrine. Sometimes its rules don’t make much sense, but they made sense at some time.
Doctrine is not the end point of the faithful person. It is not our purpose. Our purpose is more about connecting people with each other – and through those relationships we begin to see what God looks like. Our first encounter with God is usually through the encounter of other persons. Like our children; or our parents; or our friends and spouses. And sometimes our enemies.
In England they recently agreed to consecrate women bishops. It’s a remarkable change for Catholic Christianity – one that England’s sister churches throughout the globe have already experienced. And the reason for the change is that the church’s experience and relationshp with women has changed. The challenge still continues: how do we maintain relationships with people who think differently about the consecration of women? Personally, I find that there is even a question about the merits of women’s ordination itself to be a bit strange, but there are many world views, of which I’m not familiar that have their own internal logic.
From our relationships that we begin to understand the church’s mission. How do we, as a community, become a place for healing, joy, peace and fortitude? We need to know where people are hurting; where they have conflict; and when they are weak. I suggest that this includes most of us at some point.
I imagine that in Westchester people have different sorts of anxieties. Money is a pretty central; raising children in the midst of affluence and unregulated desire; environmental challenges. Many families are trying to sort through the immense changes that the culture is experiencing. How do we become the place that serves them?
This is part of a greater strategy to discern our mission. Recently I asked someone who had been a member of the church for about 40 years what he thought the mission was. He had just suggested closing the church down. And he couldn’t give me an answer. I don’t think this is unusual.
I do think, however, that there is a purpose and a reason for our community: but discerning it comes from maintaining and fostering connections with each other.

It is basically a clinical simple fact that sexting is amongst the hottest techniques to connect to some one. (Okay, perhaps not “scientific” however you see where I’m going using this.) Whether you are in the beginning stages of a relationship or have now been collectively forever, a lil sext occasionally is actually a great solution to blend factors right up.
But let’s feel actual, the whole principle is fairly broad. Does sexting suggest giving photo? Clips? Very much eggplant emojis?
Mostly all the overhead, states Jasmine Akins, a sexual fitness teacher at will people wellness. a€?Sexting are delivering any sexual materials (photographs, communications, memes, gifs, etc.) via mobile phone, email, Instant information, DM (you obtain the idea).a€?
This simply means peach emojis, lingerie photos, and the descriptive sentences as to what you’d like to do to your spouse after a long trip to services all fall under the sexting group.
Now before we have into what you need to getting giving your partner, there are many issues need to keep at heart before pressing send.
Prior to starting taking nudes, Akins claims you ought to make sure the other person is actually comfortable receiving their sexts to start with. a€?Permission to transmit, permission for, and approval to carry on delivering and receiving can be so vital,a€? she claims.
a€?Bring right up you want to explore sexting together with your spouse, [and] make sure you are safe sexting at the same time. You won’t ever should become pressured to take part in sexting behavior.” (incase somebody is performing that, start thinking about that to-be a major warning sign and ditch them. Seriously.)
Another small but vital mention: Even though you’ve got the go-ahead to sext as soon as doesn’t mean you’ve got a free move to send explicit artwork whenever you want (unless that was currently discussed). Once again, you need to be seeking permission everytime, and always respect a partner’s borders or desires if they are active or otherwise not interested in sexting in those days.
Don’t forget that simply like most particular gender in-person, you can easily replace your brain about sexting any kind of time time-even if you consented at the beginning, says Akins.
The easiest way to prevent it is by continuously checking in with your lover by inquiring all of them such things as “Do you really that way?” or “how can you become while I reveal i wish to do that for your requirements?” etc.
Presently there are some techniques to request consent to sext: You’ll be able to actually just ask you can also lean into the concept. Somewhat flirting can clue you in to whether or not they’re open to the concept, so start out with one thing straightforward like a€?I can’t stop thinking about you” observe how they respond.
It is critical to guarantee they’re not just available to sexting in general, but available to sexting at the time. Because, heya, receiving a boob chance where you work may not be ideal for their marketing aspirations.
Issues to speak about before getting dirty: Will you erase the communications immediately after the talk or perhaps is they okay to keep them on the phone? Are you going to best sext using a protected third-party software (like WhatsApp)? Is there what you really do (or don’t) would you like to sext over? Could you be comfortable obtaining composed texts? What about images? How about audio information?

Tea Party Takes Run-offs
Dewhurst and Wentworth lost to Cruz and Campbell
The Texas political establishment took a Tea Party pummeling in the July 31 primary run-offs, as Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst lost the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate to former Solicitor General Ted Cruz. But that was just the start of a bad night for longtime Republican office holders.
Cruz, who portrayed himself as a grassroots anti-incumbent Tea Partier, handed the lieutenant governor a devastating loss, 57% to 43%. Dewhurst's campaign had turned nasty in its closing weeks, connecting Cruz to everything from Chinese corporate crime to prison bribery scandals. However, with reality TV star Sarah Palin, cash-for-gold shill Glenn Beck, and former Carolina Congressman Jim DeMint's massive FreedomWorks PAC in his corner, Cruz painted the lieutenant governor as a weak moderate. In November he takes on veteran state lawmaker Paul Sadler. The Democrat finally saw off retired schoolteacher Grady Yarbrough but faces an uphill climb to beat Cruz – a climb so steep it looks like a cliff face.
More predictable was the exit of Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, who suffered a Tea Party-fueled loss to Donna Campbell. She'll face former Alamo Community College District trustee John Courage in the district, running from Bexar County to southwest Travis.
Not that negativity worked everywhere. The Democratic Travis County Precinct 2 Constable race could have taught Cruz and Campbell a lesson in meanness, with challenger Michael Cargill and his allies in Texans for Accountable Government dubbing incumbent Adan Ballesteros the "cocaine constable." Ballesteros beat him with 62% of the vote.
So who was the big loser in the July 31 run-offs? Gov. Rick Perry. Even though he was not on the ballot, his endorsements counted for little. He backed Dewhurst to little avail, and Supreme Court Justice David Medina lost out to radical pro-lifer David Devine. Nor could Perry save veteran state reps Sid Miller and Chuck Hopson from Tea Party wrath, as both men took a hammering for their perceived allegiance to another establishment Republican, speaker Joe Straus. Perry could take a little comfort that former Secretary of State Roger Williams beat libertarian Wes Riddle to take the nomination in Congressional District 25, running from Travis County north to Johnson.
The results leave plenty of blood in the water, and the sharks are already circling. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson has already released a statement confirming that he will challenge a weakened Dewhurst in 2014 for lieutenant governor. Similarly, Democrats are banking on moderates starting to pull away from an increasingly radicalized GOP and giving them more opportunities in 2014. For now, Texans must suffer a 2013 legislative session with a Tea Party agenda, a speaker under siege, and a badly bruised governor and lieutenant governor. | <urn:uuid:36ee20c8-38c0-444d-98ad-c30b37e72f79> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2012-08-03/tea-party-takes-run-offs/ | 2017-03-24T08:21:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218187744.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212947-00303-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958783 | 590 |

John Schneider's career began when he and his mother moved to Atlanta from his hometown of Mt. Kisco, New York, at age 14. There, he got involved in local theater productions. He received his biggest break in 1979, when he was cast as Bo Duke in the classic CBS series The Dukes of Hazzard - after lying about his age and preparing to look like a genuine country boy.
Schneider stayed with the series throughout its six-year run, and became almost synonymous with his character on the show. His popularity led to a relatively successful career as a country musician: he released his first album, Now or Never, in 1981, and has released eleven more studio albums (and one greatest hits compilation) to date.
Schneider kept busy with acting after The Dukes of Hazzard folded up in 1985. While his film roles have been relatively small, he continued to hold a lasting presence on television. He was a recurring character in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Second Chances, and more recently, Nip/Tuck and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. In 2001, Schneider joined the cast of Smallville as Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of Clark Kent. He has also worked as a voice actor for several animated series.
Schneider was previously married to television personality Tawny Little. He married actress Elly Castle in 1993, with whom he has three children.

I have it in 7wt (F7WF) and can't only use it for refining my casting but since it's very similar to the steelhead taper (which I have fished hard for years) I would have to say it's a great fishing taper as well.
You have my curiosity though, a 5wt would probably make a superb stillwater and broad river line.
If you fish big weighted streamers I might go to a more compressed taper though.

The Pacific Northwest state of Washington become a part of the U.S. by way of the Oregon Treaty in 1846. During the 43 years that passed before its accession as the 42nd state in 1889, Washington honed an educational tradition that is now distinguished by stellar results.
There is an argument that the title for the territory’s first postsecondary institution goes to Whitman college, founded in the friendly town of Walla Walla. The private college was started as a seminary by a territorial legislative charter in 1859. It did not, however, become the four-year liberal arts school that stands today until around 1883. Presently, its 1,600 students enjoy a nine-to-one student-to-faculty ratio and the far-reaching reputation of a school routinely ranked as a Top 50 liberal arts school by U.S. News & World Report. Today, it is one of 24 non-profit private schools in the state.
Given the transformation of Whitman from theological to secular, it is probably more technically accurate to call the University of Washington the state’s oldest university. The public university was founded in 1861 in Seattle and is now among the longest-running colleges on the West Coast. Moreover, with 43,000 students occupying its 703-acre urban campus, the University ranks as the largest in the entire Northwest region. It is also one of 43 public institutions in a state where private schools are outnumbered almost two-to-one.
There is also an argument that the State of Washington offers its students one of the better returns for their money. At an average cost of $8,856, public in-state tuition for students in Washington hovers right around the national average of $8,070 per year. By contrast, the state’s 68.9% rate of six year graduation shatters the national average of 56% and ranks as third overall in the nation.

Isn't it SO exciting when summer turns to fall?! Our fall is probably a lot different from yours, but if I imagine hard enough, I can put myself back on the east coast, where rust colored leaves fall like snow as I drive through the windy, shaded roads. All it takes to bring me back there is for it to be cool enough to put the window down, feel that little chill, and smell someone's barbeque smoking. Ahhhh... Fall is my FAVORITE season and Halloween my FAVORITE holiday!
My mind is bUrStInG with ideas for Halloween little creatures and things. I am in a mad dash to get them all out before it is too late. Girls, I don't think I am going to make it!
I did, however, accomplish a lot yesterday and wanted to share with you my progress. First, some of you might remember my spider girl I did a year ago? Well, every spider lady needs a spider suitor right? I mean, isn't life more exciting when you have someone wooing you? Not wanting to leave her lonely, allow me to introduce Sir Maxwell Webbington the 3rd!
See his spats?! He is also sporting an orange tuxedo ruffle shirt and a crumbled, yet still stylish top hot!
A suitor always comes bearing gifts, but flowers are of no use to my spider lady. Sir Maxwell knows better and can be seen here presenting fresh, dead flies! See the x on each eye...catch of the day I tell you! :)
Little side note: I love that with this journey I can do the unexpected. However, it makes your stories kind of odd to other people that don't get it. Like once, I was telling a friend a story and it started with, "I was making detective capes and..." She outright started laughing and said, "How often does someone start out a conversation saying they were making dectective capes?!" I see her point and it has stuck with me over time. While I think life is more interesting the way I am living it now, I know I'll get a similar reaction if I tell anyone but you all about the time I was making dead flies and my hands kept shaking while putting on the wings! It was frustrating, but also funny too...like a game of operation!
So anyway, thanks for listening to my odd stories!
Here is a WIP photo...this is the one my hubby drew for me! He is so talented on so many levels, especially with wood. I draw him a picture and he will make it for me in wood. This time, he drew me a sketch and wanted me to make it. It is awfully nice to return the favor!
For now, it is just a race against time. Will it dry fast enough to finish before it's too late? At least I have the remnants of an Arizona summer on my side! | <urn:uuid:03262595-ca7a-4d10-894c-06ed8fa77002> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://thevictorianlady.blogspot.com/2009/10/introducing-sir-maxwell-webbington-3rd.html | 2017-04-30T14:40:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917125654.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031205-00180-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977941 | 607 |

If baseball history has taught us anything, it's that Los Angeles Dodgers ambassador Tommy Lasorda is not afraid to put his good I-tal-i-an name behind quasi-diet-health products.
In the 1990s, you couldn't check out an episode of "In Living Color" or "Blossom" without inevitably bumping into Tommy during the commercials as he reminded us how fat he was before the Ultra Slim-Fast diet plan helped him lose "30 pounds in three months."
Well, Tommy and Slim-Fast are still around — nobody is sure if they're still speaking — but Mr. Lasorda apparently seems ready to move along to the next thing.
Which, the folks over at the Baseball Think Factory water cooler have discovered, is something called "edible health-strips."
Edible heath-strips. Sounds like an activity not technically legal in Las Vegas.
But this press release says not to worry:
Health Essist® and Baseball Legend Tommy Lasorda Enlist the Power of Cinsay, Inc. Proprietary Video Player and e-Commerce Platform to Bring Edible Health-Strips to Market
Cutting-Edge Line of Dissolvable Strips Deliver All-Natural Supplements to Consumers for Fast and Easy Absorption; Cinsay Delivers the Technology That Brings Video and eCommerce Directly to Consumers Via Email and Social Networks; Tommy Lasorda Delivers the Message to Millions.
Health E-ssist? E-gad! The Power of Cinsay? The Big Red Machine? Not on Dodger blue soil, mister.
One BBTF commenter worried that edible health-strips are something along the lines of "Lasorda Jerky" (which I'd like to believe Tommy also would sell if prompted).
Really, these don't sound so bad; they're like those Listerine breath strips, only they're vitamins and such. A little weird, but I get it, and maybe there's a market for it. Health Essist: They're the people who also bring you "Alcohol Defender," which is not nearly as gnarly as "Marijuana Space Invaders."
Anyway, bow to your Cinsay and listen to your I-tal-i-an uncle Tommy when it comes to taking your edible health strips. He wouldn't have anything to do with this if, say, the Soylent Corporation were behind it. | <urn:uuid:9a0e94cd-028d-4f41-8e80-1561ef16c97d> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Whither-Slim-Fast-Lasorda-now-pitching-8216-e?urn=mlb-wp1246 | 2014-08-20T16:33:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500811391.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021331-00441-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963295 | 517 |
What was your inspiration? So many patchwork designs are easily converted to crochet. These blocks are 10" (25 cm). With only 5 blocks made, I'm already starting to thing about embellishment. Construction - simple offset squares. Black centre - 4 x 3 tr (US dc), 1 ch into ch ring. Main body - I worked 5 tr across one side of centre (1 iinto cnr ch, 1 into 3 on side, 1 into cnr ch), turn, work 1 tr into each. Then turn to work across those sts then across another side in the same way - NOTE where trs lay horizontally, work once into the body of the st, then into the same place that st is worked. Work in tr across and back, then turning to work 2 rows on the other side until you have worked 6 rows on two sides. Change colour for the last 2 rows per side. Make 4 matching squares. TO JOIN into a block - I joined white at a corner st to the right of the black centre. Work tr across that side. Turn your work AROUND to the right so that the st just worked is at the top right corner, 2 ch. Work tr across the second side. You can break off there if desired and work the others the same, but I just picked up the next square and worked tr across starting so that the black centre is at top left corner. This gives you a string of 4 joined at opposite corners. Lay the squares so the black centres come together (watch out for twisting) and sl st to the first tr of the first square. The centre seams can be sewed. I continued this way - fold square in half, pull up a loose loop, sl st to 2nd tr from corner on the back square, then do the same on the front square. Repeat to centre with last worked picking up a loop from each corner st and draw through. Turn work and fold in half in the other direction so you've turned the corner and work the same. Break off. Join and work the same for the remaining 2 seams. | <urn:uuid:282ca96e-ce14-40ba-880c-9d377024775a> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.craftsy.com/crocheting/project/crochet-patchwork-check-blanket/105990 | 2018-01-16T12:27:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084886416.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20180116105522-20180116125522-00530.warc.gz | en | 0.938292 | 423 |
Cynthia Frewen Wuellner, FAIA, consults with cities and organizations, is an adjunct professor in the University of Houston’s Future Studies in Commerce Department, and since 1982 has been principal of Kansas City, Mo.–based Frewen Architects, Inc. As a futurist, she combines her design expertise with strategic thinking about architecture’s capacity to reflect its context and time as well as accommodate what she calls “urban futures.” “It’s about holistic thinking,” she says. “Design tries to make things more precise and certain, while futurists embrace the opposite in envisioning the uncertain.”
The most constant thing is culture, but culture also is the hardest thing to change. Culture is the challenge that the sustainability movement has run into—value-based ideologies that are not easy to transform, even though we’ve had the tools to be more sustainable for years. There’s a saying that the future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed. Being a futurist is finding the little flecks of ideas, and thinking about them at multiple scales. We have to think about the future because we now have the capacity to destroy the earth. So to identify possible futures, I incorporate a lot of strategic thinking, statistics, and scenarios in my job. Cities are layered. Cities are complex. To recognize that, architects have evolved in their thinking from machine metaphors to natural, biophilic, systems-based approaches.
Architects work in layers and so does the rest of the world. Politics, community, technology, and so on. But architecture is science and art. Thinking about the future is art, too—it’s storytelling and scenarios, which is what urban futures is: human agency. Making people believe that they can make a difference. Things happen because of human behavior and architects are change-makers. It’s too bad that we have made unfortunate decisions at times, involving how we design or build. But architects are doing more and more now to reverse those decisions.
Still, architects face great challenges at the urban scale. Look at cities like Baltimore and Boston—both grew, at first, because of infrastructure based on horses, carriages, and walking. Now compare those cities to younger cities like Houston and Los Angeles, in which sidewalks were not even considered at first because the car was such a fundamental part of their growth.
Change is hard, there’s no doubt. But architects are change-makers and if you want to talk about planning smartly, New York City has the best long-term plan, in my opinion. It has what I call three-horizon thinking: short-, middle-, and long-term thinking. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a natural futurist, and he’s interested in all three levels at the same time.
Architects are futurists, but we need more help on changing the culture and dominant ideologies. You can change people’s minds one block at a time, but it’s large-scale change that’s going to make the difference.—As told to William Richards. | <urn:uuid:4f87a671-ddcf-4a0f-ba42-bfa34972aeaf> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.residentialarchitect.com/technology/sustainability/tomorrow-never-knows_o | 2015-05-24T17:22:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928030.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00041-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954346 | 657 |

I am thankful for my friends, my food, and money. I am thankful for my friends because I love them and they will always be there for me. If I am in a bad mood I know that they will cheer me up in any way possible. I am thankful for my food because when I am hungry it fills me up. And it is yummy in my tummy. I am thankful for money because when I want something or work for it and then I ask my dad if he can pay for it for me. Also it buys me food witch was one of the other big things I was thankful for. | <urn:uuid:02a3e46c-0f12-4e06-a627-637d6d75e4d0> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1403691&mode=comment&blogger_id=348883 | 2016-05-04T15:33:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860123151.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161523-00164-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963397 | 125 |
Jammu, Jan. 28 (ANI): Family members of late Chambel Singh, an Indian prisoner allegedly beaten to death in a Pakistani jail, led a demonstration here on Monday to seek his body.
Singh, who was serving a five-year jail term for spying in Kot Lakhpat Jail of Lahore city, died after beaten by prison staff over an altercation on January 15.
"We met the Deputy Commissioner Pradeep Gupta and he has assured us to take care of our demands," said Dara Singh, son of the late Indian prisoner.
The family also claimed that nobody from the government had met them.
Divisional Commissioner of Jammu assured the family that he would request the concerned authorities to make efforts to bring back the corpse.
Singh, a resident of Pragwal in Jammu, was arrested and convicted for espionage in Pakistan in 2008.
The Pakistan government has launched a judicial inquiry into the incident after jail authorities claimed that the prisoner died of chest pain.

One thing I loved about Paris is that it’s like being in one giant Museum. Everywhere you look has beauty and history and something special about it. Although you could spend a week in Paris and not step foot in a museum and still see enough art to last you a lifetime, I highly recommend seeing at least a few of the cities incredible museums. Musee Rodin is a favorite of mine because it’s equally impressive outside as it is inside. I took most of these photos along the back of the building which used to be Rodin’s home, how gorgeous is the architecture? I wore a cozy crop grey sweater and taupe scarf from Maison de Papillon a favorite brand of mine with this silver skirt I can’t get enough of. I finished the look with silver pumps and a taupe bag and sunglasses.
Thank you for reading!

Low Zika Virus Seroprevalence in Vientiane, Laos, 2003-2015.

Zika virus (ZIKV) has been presumed to be endemic in Southeast Asia (SEA), with a low rate of human infections. Although the first ZIKV evidence was obtained in the 1950s through serosurveys, the first laboratory-confirmed case was only detected in 2010 in Cambodia. The epidemiology of ZIKV in SEA remains uncertain because of the scarcity of available data. From 2016, subsequent to the large outbreaks in the Pacific and Latin America, several Asian countries started reporting increasing numbers of confirmed ZIKV patients, but no global epidemiological assessment is available to date. Here, with the aim of providing information on ZIKV circulation and population immunity, we conducted a seroprevalence study among blood donors in Vientiane, Laos. Sera from 359 asymptomatic consenting adult donors in 2003-2004 and 687 in 2015 were screened for anti-ZIKV IgG using NS1 ELISA assay (Euroimmun, Luebeck, Germany). Positive and equivocal samples were confirmed for anti-ZIKV-neutralizing antibodies by virus neutralization tests. Our findings suggest that ZIKV has been circulating in Vientiane over at least the last decade. Zika virus seroprevalence observed in the studied blood donors was low, 4.5% in 2003-2004 with an increase in 2015 to 9.9% (P = 0.002), possibly reflecting the increase of ZIKV incident cases reported over this period. We did not observe any significant difference in seroprevalence according to gender. With a low herd immunity in the Vientiane population, ZIKV represents a risk for future large-scale outbreaks. Implementation of a nationwide ZIKV surveillance network and epidemiological studies throughout the country is needed. | <urn:uuid:f8876a10-579f-4c60-9c4d-d7d3b8885334> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.tropmedres.ac/publications/967243 | 2022-12-03T15:15:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710933.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203143925-20221203173925-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.897512 | 451 |
A famous artist once said that it is the job of any artist to control the context in which their art is seen. I have been given the opportunity to have my "Trees In Winter" series seen together as a group with great light (and great company) The 8 from ACGA show will be up till May 25th at the DAC...see info at right.
I wanted to make another wall-hung piece, but I didn't spend much time thinking about it. I just started with a torso, which went fine. NOW...what is the piece saying? I have arms, hands, a face (or two) and I couldn't continue because I had no focus. In the end, I ripped off the arms and finished the piece as simply as I could because I loved the torso and wanted to save it. This teaches me to not jump into the clay before fully visualizing the piece.
Once again I found myself looking for, hungry for ...color. I was possessed. I painted a new piece in bright red underglaze before working in my usual iron oxides. She so bright and and so satisfying to look at, but I don't know if it's a trend. For right now, I will consider it my answer to the winter doldrums.
I want to include you in my process. The ideas start as a glimmer at the back of my brain that eventually become drawings in my sketchbook. Between the drawings and the finished stage of the work a lot of magic happens that I can never fully explain. | <urn:uuid:aa250504-cf99-4eaa-8919-42954373f60e> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://burningclay.blogspot.com/2012/04/ | 2021-05-15T02:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991812.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515004936-20210515034936-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.984053 | 315 |

I Mandorli - Toscana
Since 2002 Maddy Pasqueti has been farming I Mandorli's two hectares located in the village of Belvedere di Suvereto, the highest point in Bolgheri. All the vines are farmed using biodynamic methods. The vines are at an altitude of 280m and use Guyot method training. I Mandorli use only native yeast fermentation and do not add any free sulfur to the wine. | <urn:uuid:598a6265-9986-4dd2-bfff-11f1c3da9ce1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.criticalmassselections.com/imandorli | 2017-05-25T20:07:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608416.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525195400-20170525215400-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.895709 | 96 |
Last year I received a call around nomination time asking if I would be willing to be the membership chair for 2017and 2018. Having a full-time job, being a secondary care giver for an ailing grandmother, and running a small business on the side, I was hesitant to take on any other responsibilities. After soul searching for a while, I realized that stitching is what I do when all of those other things overwhelm me. My stitching friends are an extension of that and they are some of the most supportive friends I have. They encouraged me to apply for my current job, to treasure every moment with my Grandmother who taught me how to stitch in the first place, and even to start a small business. All of these things came from one place; membership.
EGA changed my life; I quite literally stumbled into a Wednesday stitch in at a local church after finding the calendar on the SANG website. I was lonely and grieving because I had recently lost my job and we had just suffered a family loss. That first day I stitched and listened to women chat about their lives, the projects they were working on, and the upcoming May luncheon. One of the ladies looked at my project with genuine interest, I told her I was unhappy with my french knots because the rayon thread I was using was slippery and the knots were loose and not hugging the fabric the way they do with cotton thread. She recommended and then patiently demonstrated a colonial knot, which worked perfectly. Over the next few weeks I attended more stitch ins and one of the ladies invited me to the May luncheon as her guest. While at the luncheon another longtime member sat next to me, and after chatting, she proposed a commission. If I could embroider some cloth buttons for her, she would pay for my first year of membership. It seemed like a fun and easy project. She also gave me a real opportunity to stretch by giving me 100% artistic freedom.
All of the sudden I had purpose for the first time in months. There were stitch ins to attend, and I had work to complete. This purpose got me out of my funk, I started looking for full-time employment again. A few short weeks later a SANG member encouraged me to apply for a job she found online. This led to an interview and the career I always wanted. I now know that these wise women saw what I needed and conspired to get me back on track, and It worked! Did they stop there? Nope! Over and over again I was introduced to teachers, mentors, and friends who continue to push me to be a better stitcher, business woman, and person.
Now as membership chair I am supposed to tell you that your $55 per year pays for the national magazine, technique classes, community outreach, and the website. And those are all fantastic uses for your money but, the real value is what those things create. A community of passionate people working tirelessly to make the world a better, and more beautiful place. | <urn:uuid:832b5519-939e-4e41-89ff-e8913bd2c8a1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://sang-ega.org/2017/01/ | 2018-11-13T03:24:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741192.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113020909-20181113042909-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.981059 | 609 |
Data management solutions specialist Phase Forward has signed a multi-year alliance agreement with AAIPharma, the US company reborn as a pure-play contract research organisation (CRO) last year following a tangle with bankruptcy as a pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Under the terms of the contract, AAIPharma will offer services centred on two Phase Forward products as part of its solution set: the InForm Integrated Trial Management electronic data capture (EDC) system; and Clintrial, a clinical data management product that can be used to collect, manage and review electronically captured and paper-based study data.
According to Phase Forward, AAIPharma was drawn to the products’ “straightforward implementation requirements and intuitive interface, requiring very little training post-deployment,” as well as Phase Forward’s “global reach and stability” and its innovative approach to CRO partnership. Tying up with CROs has been an important part of Phase Forward’s strategy, as demonstrated by the recent consolidation of its alliances with ICON, Parexel and Quintiles.
Phase Forward’s flexible partner programme “will allow us to expand and customise our offerings at a pace that best suits our growing organisation, as well as our clients,” said Anne Wiles, senior vice-president, Data Systems and Processes for AAIPharma. “As EDC adoption continues, it is important that we offer the technology that sponsors view as an industry standard, while also supporting those clients requiring a solution that supports both electronic and paper-based trials.”
CROs “continue to play a critical role in bringing the efficiencies of electronic data capture and management to clinical trials, and will ultimately help move the industry further along the adoption continuum over the next several years,” commented Bob Weiler, chief executive officer and president of Phase Forward. | <urn:uuid:7960b30f-a7f4-423a-86ed-8207471da294> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://www.pharmatimes.com/news/aaipharma_deal_nets_phase_forward_another_cro_alliance_990753 | 2018-10-20T06:25:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583512592.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20181020055317-20181020080817-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.952979 | 389 |
St. Martin-in-the Fields, Trafalgar Square, London, WC2N 4JH (Charing X Tube)
Until 24th January. For more information: www.theparentscircle.org
The shadowy crypt at St. Martin-in-the-Fields is a fitting setting for this exhibition of war cartoons about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The cartoons have been drawn by 35 artists from around the world and the exhibition’s driving force is Robi Damelin whose son, David, 28, was killed while on reserve duty by a Palestinian sniper.
The exhibition was inspired by Israeli cartoonist Michel Kichka’s own Cartooning for Peace. The cartoonists here are the modern day versions of Wilfred Owen. They capture, through their drawings, the futility of war the way the young Owen did, so emotively, through his poetry.
Robi, 65 and a grandmother, is originally from South Africa and was active in the anti-apartheid movement before making aliyah. She loves Israel but is determined that no one should use her son’s blood as an excuse for revenge.
Robi was last in London in November 2009. She was joined by Ali Abu Awwad, 37, a Palestinian. Both Ali and his mother had spent time in Israeli prisons before, one day, Ali’s brother Yussef, 32, was shot dead by an Israeli soldier.
Instead of seeking revenge Ali joined the Parents Circle-Family Forum where he met Robi. They now travel the world together speaking in churches, mosques and synagogues.
The Forum contains 500 Israeli and Palestinian families all with one thing in common; each has lost a close relative in the conflict. Members of the Forum regularly go into Israeli and Palestinian educational establishments to speak to students. Instead of politicians doing the talking it should be the Israeli and Palestinian people. Their important work even continued during the Gaza War.
In November Robi and Ali spoke to an audience of Muslims and Jews at the Regent’s Park Mosque after showing Encounter Point. The film portrays the physical and mental barriers that Forum members encounter when trying to get their message across. In the film Ali’s more humourous solution to the conflict is for all Israelis who smoke to be forced to buy cigarettes from the Palestinans and vice versa.
Cartooning in Conflict is an extension of the Forum’s work. The cartoons are a means for peaceful dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis. The artists include Pulitzer Prize winners Pat Oliphant and Jim Morin and the famous French political satirist, Plantu.
For Robi a highly evocative cartoon is that of an Angel and the Devil playing cards. Instead of chips they play for bodies. “Can you see who has won the most bodies?,” Robi sadly asks me.
A dove is a recurring theme. One cartoon shows the bird lying in a colourful frozen supermarket package. The dove’s eyes are open while it awaits defrosting.
My favourite cartoon is of the fighting stopping while a goal is scored in a televised football match recalling the legend of Christmas Day 1915 when English and German troops met in no-man’s-land for a bout of the beautiful game.
The least hopeful is that of an Israeli and an Arab each digging a grave side-by-side. The cartoon is called “Sharing the Land”.
Recently Robi wrote to her son’s killer in prison. He is a Palestinian folk hero for what he did. Robi hoped he would make a statement saying he was transformed so he would not to be viewed by Palestinians as such a hero any more. All she received back was a political justification for her son’s murder but she still holds out hope.
Robi has been joined by Ali’s sister, Seham. It is Seham’s first time out of the West Bank and both she and Robi will be around the exhibition to answer questions. | <urn:uuid:83c5de54-f677-4d0d-8ca9-fd08c0a4e452> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://richardmillett.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/cartooning-in-conflict-exhibition-in-london/ | 2014-11-01T06:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637904722.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025824-00217-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968995 | 829 |

Mission Accomplished Stories
A few months ago, we challenged our VIP members with the Mission Accomplished Single. The task was simple: make a list of goals, color one X when you create a goal, and then color the X next to it when you accomplish the goal. Once the strap was colored in, we asked our members to share the story behind their goals to Facebook and tag us. Below are five stories we'd like to share.
The Repeat Goals
Alright, so here is my Mission Accomplished finished strap (I went with PlayStation controller button colors for fun hehe). I went with a slightly different approach, so there are a couple "repeat" goals on my list and you will see why. Because of this, I also went for every X being its own goal. I really wanted to shoot for an overall theme: What can I do for others? Since I'm obviously getting a little prize at the finish line, being a cute double Zox, I decided I wanted every goal to somehow tie into doing something for an outside entity/person/etc. So here is my list with a little explanation of each:
Goals 1-5: Five, yes five of the goals were the same but different thing. I have a bad habit of buying myself fast food often because I work not so great shifts. So this is something I've always wanted to do and turns my bad habit into something better. I had five different instances at five different restaurants where I bought the food of the person behind me in line. The prices varied wildly and one could assume it varied from one person to a whole family and it made me feel so happy inside. I don't know if it started a chain reaction or if maybe I made someone's day just that much better but I really, really hope that it made a difference for someone out there.
Goals 6-8: Another repeat goal. It was to get myself to donate a box of at least 10 different things from my house to Goodwill AND get two of my friends to do the same. This was actually surprisingly easy. I had so many kitchen supplies, clothes, and other things that I just don't use or wear so my box filled up quickly. And the two friends I asked if they wanted to donate some stuff took no convincing at all. They said they had been wanting to for a while but just had been too lazy to drive there or hadn't had the motivation to box up their stuff to start.
Goal 9: Donate a full box filled with food to the food pantry. This is the place where people who can't afford food can get food, no questions asked. They work in tandem with the soup kitchen.
Goal 10: Volunteer at a friend's booth for the local pride event. This was easy enough, I know lots of people that were participating in the local pride event with booths, so I helped one of them watch their booth and hand out pamphlets and stuff since they needed the extra help.
Goal 11-12: A repeat goal here, for two different spots and it was to spend at least 2 hours picking up garbage on the busiest street in town, and the largest park in town. I live in a fairly small town so the busiest street in town is incredibly easy to identify as is the largest park haha.
Goal 13: Donate a full box of supplies to the animal shelter. Self explanatory and who doesn't love animals?!
Goal 14: Hand out a sticker to every small child I encountered at work for a week. I won't get too much into detail but I work security at an airport and children can get stressed out or stress out their parents traveling. You would actually be incredibly surprised at how much something like a sticker makes a difference for these kids and parents. My coworkers and I can get distracted and caught up in our jobs so in making sure I did this, I can only hope made some family's trips easier.
Goals 15-16: This was difficult. Not because the tasks were difficult but because I practically wanted to cry looking at some of these stories. Repeat goal, donate to two different GoFundMe pages. So many people in need, it only makes me wish I had millions of dollars to give away to people.
Goal 17: Donate a box of items to the local children's crisis center. This was difficult at first because all they wanted was a monetary donation but I came into contact with the right people and found out exactly what they needed and would accept.
Goal 18: Sign up for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. For those unfamiliar, this is a national program but managed state by state, that enrolls volunteers to mentor youths basically. I haven't got to do anything but sign up yet because you have to go through a background check and whatnot, plus I'm not sure if COVID has put any restrictions in place, but I'm excited to see where this endeavor takes me!
Goal 19: Pull weeds for my elderly neighbor. I've noticed that my neighbor's front yard was getting rather filled with weeds and I also know they are elderly. I asked one day if they'd like help with yard work and they happily said yes. This also led to me helping them plant some flowers too.
Goal 20: Get a bird house and bird feeder for the yard. I have lived in my place for over five years now and two of those years birds have made nests in very, very poor spots that led to either the destruction of their nest or the destruction of eggs. This is my way of hopefully helping a future bird family get a safe little nest going if they choose my yard to live in and also supply birds with food!
Goal 21: Pick up poop at the dog park. I don't know if the city is supposed to this or if they rely on the dog owners to do this, but either way, the dog park was wracked with poop when I went. I could only think of how happy all the dogs and owners would be not having nto step around piles of poop!!
Overall this list was a lot. Some of these goals were lofty; either monetarily, emotionally, or time consuming. But I have to say, I feel so fulfilled and happy in completing these goals. I also commend anyone who spent the time to read the whole list and appreciate you and hope you have a great day.
The Son's Goals
This past year has been hard in a lot of ways for most people. My son who turned 14 during the pandemic was one of those people. Let’s face it: puberty is hard, all those emotions and testosterone running through their tiny bodies and them not knowing what to do or feel about it. Add ADHD to the mix and it can make puberty unbearable. Being a single mom who had an essential job that keeps me away from the house 11 hours a day, made this little man responsible for his own school work, his own cooking, and well let’s face it his own self care. Being isolated from his friends and spending most days alone did not fair well for him and he fell down the rabbit hole of depression. Grades started sliding until he got to the point where he was so frustrated with the feeling of self worthlessness that he just stopped going to online class, and trying to connect at all. We have worked through most of this and gotten him back on track grades wise but coupled with his ADHD and depression he now has developed social anxiety and poor self hygiene. The only ZOX that has ever spoken to him was pursuit of happiness. Until now. I ordered him mission accomplished and told him we could make a list of “missions” to help slide him out of his poor self hygiene habit and keep him from letting the depression creep back in. I wanted the tasks to stretch out over the course of a week because we all know that repetition of a task is what helps us to continue to achieve them over a day to day basis. So here is his list and everything he has achieved. Thank you so much ZOX for being the amazing individuals you are and helping so many people!
1. Sit down with mom and make a goals list
2. Take a shower everyday for a week
3. Brush your hair everyday for a week
4. Get up and go to camp for a full week
5. Go to the family picnic and talk to cousins
6. Clean your room
7. Play a board game with mom and sister
8. Eat dinner with mom and sister for a week
9. Take the dog outside to play in his pool
10. Limit video games to 2 hours a day
11. Do the ZOX puzzle with mom and sister
12. Help mom mow the lawn
13. Write something positive about my self everyday for a week
14. Make a gratuity list
15. Remind my sister of something she is good at
16. Call Grammy to tell her I love her
17. Go to bed on time so I can wake up rested for a full week.
The "Keep Going" Goals
My Mission - For the past 8 years, off and on, I've been living at my Mom's house about 30 miles away from my house. I don't drive, so when I was at her house, my place sat empty. When I got a few days "off", housekeeping was the furthest thing from my mind... so just before COVID hit, me and my siblings decided Mom needed more care than I could give her. She moved to assisted living, and I boxed up and moved my things, and things from her house that I wanted, back to my tiny 2-bedroom townhouse. Then came COVID, reduction of income, a bit of depression, and last December we lost my Mom to the COPD which was the reason I'd been at her house for so long.
I'm not posting a list here, because some of the things on it would be a bit embarrassing.
But green Xs are for things that needed to be done so I could GO forward with my life in my house.
Blue Xs are for things that I didn't like about my house (that gave me the blues), for example, I always wanted to get pegboard up on the wall in my craft room. I got it up there now!
Purple Xs are for memories, things that came from Mom's house that still needed to be unpacked, photos that needed sorting, recipes from her two huge looseleaf notebooks full that I scanned, and have now put on disks for the rest of the family...
There's still more to do, which is why I'm wearing it WITH Progress Not Perfection, but this challenge got me out of my rut and off to a good start, so a heartfelt thank you for that.
The "Next Step" Goals
After finding ZOX, I again came very close to committing suicide. I reached out to a suicide prevention hotline and then obtained books I could read immediately. My Pastor recommended a study to do called Quieting a Noisy Soul. These were the first goals at which to look. Then, with me being mostly house bound I needed to remember self care. My current new counselor has me also going through blessings in my life before I even get up. Then, knowing I will be obtaining a double, I started a second wave of goals. I’ll be adding to it later. I hope my story helps someone else who is struggling. ZOX on and hang in there.
Born from Love Goals
This is for the mission I didn't want. These were not goals I set.
These are goals born from devastating grief.
I lost my best friend unexpectedly, then a month later my grandpa, then a few months later my grandma, then just 1 month later covid uncertainty hit.
This strap is to remind me of how much I've accomplished even though it feels like I've only been treading water. That even when I'm completely broken, I'm not alone. Even though I feel like I'm failing, all of the days I get out of bed and do the little things, they all add up.
The mission was to overcome. Getting this bracelet helped me to realize that mission and unpack all the work I have done. I'm not sure that mission will ever feel complete, but it feels like time to move forward, step up, and intentionally set more goals.
Surviving grief and uncertainty through love: Mission Accomplished. | <urn:uuid:d0dbbad7-7594-4b7d-8e29-16f68d48f3de> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://checkout.zox.la/blogs/stories/mission-accomplished-stories | 2023-03-22T09:57:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943809.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20230322082826-20230322112826-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.984338 | 2,588 |
I wanted some quality glasses with style and was very surprised to find the Bolle women's line. The Ruby is exactly what I was looking for and I think they'd be great on any face shape. They're big but still stylish on my small face. I've worn them out on the town and fishing with my boyfriend. I've put my Maui Jims to rest now that I've got these.
Pros: sporty and stylish for a good price
Would recommend: Yes

Searchers fear more grim discoveries in Galveston
At least 5 people confirmed dead as teams hunt for survivors, but toll could rise as water recedes
Published 5:30 am, Tuesday, September 16, 2008
GALVESTON — As the search for human survivors -- and the dead -- continued amid grueling conditions today, animal welfare volunteers have launched an effort to also help injured wild animals and family pets that were left behind in the mass evacuation as Hurricane Ike approached.
About 50 Humane Society volunteers from around the United States gathered in Galveston over the weekend to begin setting up an animal rescue operation.
About 1,000 animals - ranging from baby squirrels and pelicans to family pets - have been gathered in the Houston area, said Meera Nandlal, a spokeswoman from the Houston SPCA, which also sent 3,000 crates to Galveston to help with the effort.
Volunteers from Missouri, Colorado, South Dakota, Louisiana and Texas are still assessing the needs as they begin to set up an animal shelter at Moody Memorial United Methodist Church.
The increasingly urgent effort to find any human survivors who still may be out there continued, meanwhile, as search-and-rescue teams dealt with dark and filthy water, the storm's last tangible remnant, while combing Galveston Island and other coastal communities hit hardest by an overwhelming storm surge.
The hope was for more survivors — a hope rewarded more than once Monday. The fear was that grimmer discoveries awaited.
In this ruined city, reduced to such an unlivable state that its mayor wants all remaining residents gone, searchers made their way through 90 percent of the inundated neighborhoods. So far they have confirmed two dead, with four others undetermined. Thousands of homes have yet to be reached.
Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas warned Monday that her city is not fit for habitation for the foreseeable future. Residents who evacuated are not being allowed back.
"There is nothing to come here for right now," Thomas said. "Please leave. I am asking people to leave."
Meanwhile, the hunt for survivors goes on. Searchers have accounted for 1,500 thus far in a house-to-house operation.
The death toll is expected to rise as the waters recede and searchers are able to cover more areas, said city officials, who brought in a refrigerated mobile morgue.
To the east, teams on airboats arrived on Bolivar Peninsula for the first time. They rescued two people and their pets from a home in Crystal Beach — survivors who drew the ire of Gov. Rick Perry, who called them "knuckleheads" for not evacuating — and also reached High Island, where approximately 120 people rode out the storm. Most of the High Island residents chose to remain, though they welcomed the food and water that Texas Parks and Wildlife "strike teams" brought with them.
One of the survivors found by a search team had suffered an estimated 1,000 mosquito bites and was flown to a hospital on the mainland, city spokeswoman Alicia Cahill said.
Eleven people were taken out of the Flagship Hotel, which was built on piers in front of the city's protective Seawall, she said. Police today were ordering the building closed because of problems with the piers.
City officials are still discussing whether to force people off the island. City Manager Steve LeBlanc said 15,000 to 20,000 residents remained Monday out of a population of about 60,000. About 3,000 are trying to get off the island, he said.
Officials also said Monday that health conditions continue to deteriorate. Representatives from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are in Galveston to assess the situation.
The scale of devastation pointed to an almost unimaginable cleanup ahead. Several inches of reeking mud caked the trolley lines of The Strand. Shutters and screen doors littered the streets. Some million-dollar beach homes lay in heaps of lumber and concrete, while others stayed aloft on 10-foot pilings. There was no way to get into many of the homes left standing: Their stairs had been washed away.
FM 3005 was closed along the island's western shore, where 4 to 6 inches of hard-packed sand turned the pavement into an extended beach, the asphalt crumbled away into new-formed tidal pools, and loose cattle roamed the roadway. Bulldozers plowed the wet sand into towering banks along the edge.
Ambulances at the readyAll of Galveston looks like an empty set from a disaster movie, or perhaps a smelly ghost town. Nearly 150 structures have collapsed across the island from Ike's assault, Cahill said, and countless more will have to be demolished.
Life centers now around PODs, short for points of distribution, where remaining residents can pick up free ice and bottled water, or at the pockets of beehive-like activity around the University of Texas Medical Branch or other staging areas for first responders, where they meet, coordinate and assign tasks to one another.
At UTMB's emergency room, ambulances from around the country — Indiana, California, Iowa — sit ready to ferry out people who come to the ER seeking treatment.
"We have been busy, taking people off the island," said Mike Moore, an EMS technician from Southern California. "There has been a steady stream of people coming in with run-of-the-mill injuries, but to get them off the island takes a lot of effort when you need to go to San Antonio or somewhere as far as that."
2,000 evacuated SundayAway from the staging areas and the PODs are residents who chose to face Ike as it hammered with island with 115-mph winds and a tidal surge unusually powerful for a Category 2 storm.
"I lost everything," lamented Joe Mendoza, sitting shirtless on a chair outside his muddy garage. A soaked mattress and other furniture was out on the front and side lawns.
Mendoza, 57, has lived his whole life in Galveston. He stayed because he was considered a critical worker: a heavy equipment operator for the city. His story was similar to others who stayed because they or their parents stayed during Carla, a Category 5 storm, or because they never believed that Ike, considered puny by comparison to Carla, would pack such a wallop.
As recovery efforts got under way, thousands of people who stayed through the storm finally boarded the evacuation buses they missed the first time around.
On Monday morning, a line of people waited for buses at Galveston's Ball High School, where state and federal emergency workers staged rescue and recovery efforts. At 11 a.m., four charter buses pulled out of the parking lot and several more queued up to take their place.
National Guard soldiers said they had evacuated almost 2,000 people Sunday and were still sending bus loads on to shelters in Austin and San Antonio on Monday. Without power and with water and sanitary conditions deteriorating, many people who weathered the storm intact were anxious to take the mayor's advice and get off the island.
Genny Ponce, 61, caught a bus headed for San Antonio, along with her son, her best friend and her friend's daughter. Ponce sought refuge in a neighbor's upstairs apartment when floodwaters filled her house the night of the storm. It rose to 6 feet, destroying her home and flooding her car.
Ponce's friend is diabetic, and her daughter has epilepsy. Dirty and desperate, they tried calling for help Sunday morning, but couldn't get a cell phone signal.
Monday was the first day they were able to reach police, who brought them to the high school for evacuation.
"We can't survive two or three weeks without water and power," Ponce said.
Some still staying putThe elderly residents of two assisted living facilities who refused to evacuate during the storm were forced out Monday when the Galveston Housing Authority condemned their building, citing unsafe living conditions. Many of the residents insisted they still wanted to stay.
Other residents continued to camp in their homes, visiting the city's two public supply distribution centers for ice, water and government meals-ready-to-eat.
They lined up in cars and ATVs, on bicycles and on foot to carry the rations home.
Robert Leslie Graham filled a large Tupperware bin with two bags of ice, a case of water bottles, and meals. He balanced the bin on his bicycle handlebars and brought them home for his girlfriend, her three children, and the janitor at his apartment complex.
The janitor let Graham and his family stay in a vacant upstairs apartment when his downstairs unit filled with water early Saturday morning.
"It was up to here," Graham said, pointing to his neck, tattooed with his mother's name: Earline. She lives in Chicago, but Graham hasn't been able to reach her since the storm to tell her he's OK.

Most of the Xray terminology is common within the Test Management world. Summarized in the table below are some of the key terms you will find throughout the documentation and the UI. Please review and follow the links for more detail on specific topics.
This short video explains the core concepts and the issue types used by Xray.
|Concept/Term||Issue Type||Description||Also known in the testing community as...|
|Test||Test||A test case. It may either be manual or automated, composed of multiple steps, actions and expected results.||test case, test scenario, test template|
|Pre-Condition||Pre-Condition||Initial conditions that must be assured before the execution of the Test's own steps. A Pre-Condition may be used by multiple Tests.|
|Test Set||Test Set||A group of tests, organized in some logical way. A test may belong to multiple Test Sets.||test group, test suite|
|Test Plan||Test Plan||A "formal" plan of the tests intended to be executed for a given version.||test campaign|
|Test Execution||Test Execution||An assignable, "schedulable" task to execute one or more tests for a given version/revision along with its results.||test cycle*, test campaign|
|Sub-Test Execution||Sub-Test Execution|
A Sub-Test Execution has the same functionalities as the Test Execution issue type. The difference between them is that the Sub-Test Execution is a sub-Task and can be created in a requirement's context. Creating a Test Execution as a sub-task from within the requirement issue screen will provide the user the ability to track executions in the Agile board.
|test run||-||A specific run of a test. An instance of the test containing the execution status and a snapshot of the test specification. Whenever a user adds a Test to a Test Execution, a test run is created internally within the Test Execution context. A test may have multiple test runs.|
The "status" of a Test.
Mostly, a shorthand for "test run status". Xray provides a calculated custom field TestRunStatus which may be used in queries, gadgets, etc. based on some rules.
|requirement||Story, Requirement, ....||Something that you expect from the system. A feature. A good requirement explains how the system should behave and its purpose.|
|test repository||-||The full list of tests within a project. In Xray, the test repository is simply composed of all Test issues.|
|test strategy||-||Which requirements you want to validate, how to validate them, use of either manual or automated tests, the resource allocation, etc.|
|testing lifecycle||-||After requirement specification and revision, the testing lifecyce involves test planning , test designing, test execution and test reporting.|
If you know ISTQB, you may want to give a look at ISTQB glossary vs Xray terminology.

Although not common, you may link a Test Execution with multiple Test Plans making its results impact on the consolidated overview shown/managed on each linked Test Plan. | <urn:uuid:321dd121-c58e-4f08-8574-8a9ca8d73fea> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/public/XRAY/Terms+and+Concepts | 2019-06-18T21:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998817.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618203528-20190618225528-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.853134 | 667 |
CAIRO — Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's supporters danced to pop tunes praising the military and sported T-shirts bearing his image as they cast ballots Monday in a presidential election that is seen certain to vault the retired field marshal to office.
But el-Sissi, who last summer ousted Egypt's first freely elected president, is looking for more than a landslide victory from the two-day vote. He also is hoping for a strong turnout to show international critics that his removal of Islamist Mohammed Morsi reflected the will of the people.
The election is a powerful contrast to 2012 presidential elections, the first after the toppling of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak by a popular uprising the year before.
In that race, there were 13 candidates and a rollicking campaign that saw lively debate over how to achieve the ideals of the "revolution," reflecting the short-lived euphoria that followed Mubarak's ouster.
Morsi, a veteran figure from the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, won in part because even many who distrusted the Islamists preferred him to his opponent — Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq — seen as a throwback to the former state.
This time, the Brotherhood is out of the race, crushed under a ferocious crackdown that has killed hundreds of Morsi's supporters and arrested thousands more since his removal. El-Sissi has been elevated by a surge of nationalism fed by media lauding him as the nation's savior. His only opponent in the race is leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, who finished third in the 2012 election.
El-Sissi's supporters say he saved the country from Islamists while his secular critics fear he will enshrine a Mubarak-style autocracy once more.
All that most voters want is stability and an end to years of turmoil, despite worries among critics that the 59-year-old el-Sissi will bring it by suppressing dissent.
"He is a strict military man. He will grip the country and bring security to the street," said Olfat Sayed Hasanein, a university professor who voted for el-Sissi. "We cannot afford any more failures."
The next president will be Egypt's eighth since the overthrow of the monarch in 1953. Of the seven past presidents, five came from military backgrounds. Besides Morsi, who ruled for a year, the other civilian president was Sufi Abu Taleb, who briefly held the position in an interim capacity after Anwar Sadat's assassination in October 1981.
El-Sissi, wearing a business suit and tie, voted at a school in the upscale Cairo district of Heliopolis, as women cheered and ululated to greet him. "The whole world is watching to see how the Egyptians will make history," he told reporters.
At many polling stations, voters waved Egyptian flags and wore clothes in the national red-white-and-black colors. Men and women danced to pro-military pop songs, "Bless the Hands" and "A Good Omen," which emerged after the July 3 military ouster of Morsi and have been constantly played in the streets and on the radio since.
"El-Sissi is the greatest person in the world," said Nasser Meghres, a 54-year-old businessman from Heliopolis. "We have absolute faith in the army and the police."
Speaking to reporters as he cast his vote, Sabahi urged Egyptians to "come out and vote for their future." Voting continues for a second day on Tuesday.
Some 500,000 soldiers and police were deployed for the balloting. Security forces in body armor, some of them masked, were in sandbagged positions outside polling stations. Army and police helicopters hovered over Cairo as part of the massive security operation.
Posters with pictures of the security forces were plastered across Cairo to urge voters to the polls, proclaiming, "Come out and we will protect you."
More than seven hours after the polls opened at 9 a.m., no major election-related violence was reported.
Gunmen killed a youth activist who had campaigned for el-Sissi as he was driving home in the restive Islamist stronghold of Kirdassa on Cairo's western outskirts, security officials said.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said police were investigating whether the Brotherhood was behind the killing. The activist was long suspected of being on a purported hit list of the group, they said.
Somebody also hurled a crude homemade bomb from a passing car at security personnel outside a polling center in a village close to the industrial city of Mahalla, and an assailant on a motorbike shot at a polling center in the oasis province of Fayoum, but nobody was hurt in either attack, according to the same officials.
"Be strong, come on down, there's nothing to worry about and I promise you a full control of the situation," Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab said in an interview with the private CBC TV network, addressing Kirdassa residents.
Egypt's official Middle East News Agency said 18 suspected Brotherhood supporters have been detained nationwide for trying to disrupt the voting.
By percentage of votes, el-Sissi could win a landslide, but his camp's attention was more focused on the turnout among the nearly 54 million registered voters, including 32 million between the ages of 18 and 40. A low turnout would show the narrowness of his support in a country that has risen up against two presidents since 2011.
If Sabahi manages to thwart a landslide with a respectable showing, it would be a further blow, showing an existing and active opposition to el-Sissi despite the media hype.
Mustafa Abdel-Monaim, a small-business owner in Cairo, argued that an el-Sissi presidency goes against the goals of the 2011 uprising.
"I know that el-Sissi will win, but I will vote for Sabahi to prevent him from getting a landslide," he said.
It is too early to gauge the turnout, but lines formed outside polling centers in Cairo nearly an hour before they opened, although numbers dwindled in several areas throughout the day. The chief of the European Union observer mission, Mario David, said early signs pointed to a good turnout.
The Muslim Brotherhood has instructed its followers to boycott the vote. Also boycotting the polls are many of the pro-democracy youths who participated in the 2011 uprising against Mubarak.Comment on this story
"You free Egyptians are the ones who grant or take away legitimacy and you had already given it to the kidnapped civilian president," a Brotherhood statement said, alluding to Morsi's detention since his ouster. "Consequently, you cannot take part in the crime of the elections of blood."
Both el-Sissi and Sabahi have vowed to maintain a decree by the military-backed government that banned the Brotherhood and declared it a terrorist group.
El-Sissi has pledged to bring democracy to Egypt, but Morsi's backers say the ouster of an elected president crushed those hopes.
"We want security first, then everything else will follow," said Manal Mohammed, a government employee standing in line outside a polling center in the densely populated Cairo district of Imbaba. | <urn:uuid:a8da2ddc-eb2f-403a-90ad-c93faf58067d> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.deseretnews.com/article/765654011/Pro-military-fervor-at-polls-as-Egyptians-vote.html | 2017-04-29T12:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123491.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00369-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973075 | 1,500 |
If you’ve never transported your gun on an airplane before it’s a piece of cake if you follow these simple tips. In fact, I fly with my gun often and I’ve never had a problem. First off, before you leave your house to go to the airport, make sure the gun is unloaded. I would double and triple check this. Next, the gun needs to be locked in a solid case. Personally, I just use the cases my guns came in when I bought them and I use a padlock to secure them.
Once you’re satisfied that the gun is unloaded and locked up, simply throw it in your checked baggage (not your carry on.) As far as your ammo, I just leave it in the box and throw it in my suitcase too. However, I’ll put the ammo at the bottom of my suitcase and the gun at the top. I like to make sure they’re separated by several layers of clothes, but that’s just my own personal preference.
Once you get to the airport, you’ll walk up the counter and tell the representative that you need to declare a firearm and ammunition. And if I were you, I would use those words exactly. I would not advise walking up to them and saying “I have a gun.” That probably won’t end well and you might end up surrounded by airport police who’ll ruin your day and make you spend the next eight hours in a small dark room explaining yourself.
After you declare your firearm to the counter representative…
They’ll hand you a small card – about the size of a 3×5 index card – which you need to read and sign. The card basically says that your gun is unloaded and you’re following all safety regulations and that if for some reason you’re lying you could get a big fine and/or prison time.
Once you’ve signed the card, you open up your gun case, throw the card in the case and secure it again. Then you give your luggage to the representative and you’re all done. In all of the times I’ve flow I’ve never had anyone look at the gun or even ask me if it was unloaded. All they do is hand me the card, tell me to sign it and put it in my case.
Of course, I usually fly Southwest or Delta and I know their respective regulations. So before you fly you should go to your airlines website or give them a call to see their requirements. However, I’ve heard that almost all airlines are the same with guns. But, one thing I have heard is that airlines are different when it comes to how much ammunition you can bring on a plane.
For instance, my brother just graduated from a police academy in Utah.
While he was in the academy one of his instructors said that they could order a couple thousand rounds through the academy and get a big discount. So my brother called me up and asked me if I wanted some ammo. (Do I want some ammo? Does Charlie Sheen want crack?)
Of course I told him I wanted ammo, and when I was in Utah a few months ago, I decided to pick it up. However, 3,000 rounds is a lot of ammo and there was no way I could carry it all back in my luggage at once. So I gave Southwest a call to see how much ammo I could carry on the plane and they told me 11 pounds.
Since it was a few months ago, I don’t remember how many rounds that added up to, but it sure wasn’t much. I think it was something like 350 rounds. I realize I could ship the rest, but right now I’ve got plenty of ammo in my house. Plus, I’m getting ready to head to Utah again soon, so I’ll just bring another 350 or so rounds home with me then, and continue this for the time being.
The bottom line is, don’t be afraid to fly with your gun and if you plan to carry a lot of ammo, know how many rounds you can bring. And, if you happen to be traveling from Utah to Virginia anytime soon, let me know if you’re interested in adding 11 pounds to the weight of your luggage.

Wood when burnt in fire, first assumes the shape (roop) of fire and then turns into coal. Wood turned coal, however, marks its distinguishable and separate identity from fire. Its identity is more close to the wood but when the wood has really burnt itself out in fire, nothing but a lump of ashes remains. It has lost its separate identity into the Fire. It has totally merged in fire. As it retains no more, any separate identity, it can be said to be totally consumed by and merged in fire.
One who so enters the Holy Sarnagti of the Satguru, so chooses the Lotus Feet of the Satguru, so surrenders himself at His Feet, has actually been already accepted by the Guru.
A sikh who does not leave the Guru, the Guru never leaves him. He who truly loves the Satguru, Satguru loves him much more. As the sikh falls at the Holy Feet, he has already been accepted, owned and saved by the Satguru.
He who so chooses the Divine, has already been chosen by the Divine.

On Tuesday May 15th, St. Gabriel's Catholic School Council welcomes Sara Westbrook for her new presentation on "The 5 Principles of Emotionally Skilled Children." We encourage our parents, grandparents, and friends to join us for a evening of information that will help to develop the emotional well-being, confidence and resilience in our children.
As we all know, our children's emotional well-being can affect their performance at school, their relationships and their physical and mental health. Emotions can be hard to identify, even harder to move through, and hardest of all... talking about them.
So we encourage parents, grandparents and friends to join us on TUESDAY MAY 15TH AT ST GABRIEL SCHOOL GYM AT 6:30PM. | <urn:uuid:fdb0db28-efef-4c47-b884-81f980df4300> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://stcl.hwcdsb.ca/259904--St-Gabriels-Catholic-School-Council-Welcomes-Sara-Westbrook-Presenting-The-5-Principles-of-Emotionally-Skilled-Children | 2018-09-20T07:11:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156418.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180920062055-20180920082055-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.923978 | 155 |
Control Ch. 01byIchTuDirWeh©
She gazes at her body's reflection and runs her smooth hands over her curves, her reflection seems different. As if the mirror was waving slightly and compressing into itself slightly. It makes her eyes sore. She then drops her gaze down to her feet, rubs her puzzled eyes, then blinks several times. Two average C cup breasts block her view of half her flat tummy. She runs her nails softly over her small, pink nipples. They harden almost instantly and goosebumps prickle her chest.
As she keeps her gaze down to the floor, out of the corner of her eye she could have sworn she saw a shadow. She blinks and it seems hovering just across the room, but it's so blurry it seems so close.
She turns back to the mirror and plucks off the dangling eyelash quickly, smiles, and heads for the shower.
After a steaming shower and a cool rinse off she wrings her hair and steps a manicured foot onto the tile. She yanks the towel off the rack and she begins to dry herself. She throws the towel over her head and shakes it furiously, squeezing the ends and repeating.
She slows down drying as the air suddenly electrifies. Almost simultaneously, three immense fingertips run up her thigh.
She hastily brings the towel down over her torso, backing up slowly while looking around the bathroom and reaches for the door handle behind her. Upon opening the door she dashes for her bedroom down the hall.
Her plump, smooth ass bounces with each landing and each movement captivates him as she flees. All ends when she slams the door, followed by clicking, then all is silent for now. He waits.
She flicks on the light switch for her lamp and massages her forehead, her head still spins and the panic settles. She pushes her stringy red-brown hair back. The head rush fades away then she proceeds to her dresser and reaches in to pull out her favorite lace-and-ruffle boy shorts and a matching polka dot bra.
After clothing herself for the night, she pushes back the covers and rolls up in a cocoon of blankets. She can't help but keep replaying what just happened and how to justify it.
It was probably muscle spasms. Yeah. Muscle spasms.. She tugs the lamp cord at her bedside and drifts off slowly into a quiet slumber.
He watches over her intently with his lusting, bright grey eyes. Watching each strand of hair fall into place, how her skin looks so decadent and rich in Dark, and how her form radiates heat and a lovely aura.
He caresses her cheek and gently scrapes the edge of his perfect nail on her jawline. He grins slyly as her steps back into the Darkness of the room and his form disappears into a black mist.
Her eyes shoot open in alarm and her body jerks. She can't tell whether she is still asleep or not, nor if she really knows where she is. Her body is paralyzed in fear, and somewhat exposed. Somehow she unraveled herself from her shell. Her fingers are able to move and she feels beneath her.
She's still on her bed. Thank goodness. It's a relief for her, giving some sense that she is still here and can move.
It's very cold in the room. The damn heater must not have turned on tonight. She reaches for the covers, which had a majority drooping onto the floor, and throws them back over herself sleepily.
A deep breath in, and out. In, and out. Her body still shakes from the startling wake up. Just before she was dreaming a peculiar dream.
She was naked, floating around in what seemed like the Universe. Except she hadn't known which way she was drifting. Was she going forward? Backward? Down? Up?
Her hair floated around her head without direction as if she was underwater. She didn't feel cold, nor warmth or air. She wore simply nothing around her skin. But she wasn't dead. She could feel her heart beating. She stared in admiration as she passed by far away swirling clusters of colors, and masses of illuminated dust with an immeasurable amount of stars embedded in them, and polished pastel colored planets of various sizes.
Next thing she knew, she stood in one of her empty classrooms. She looked around at the empty chairs and waxed stairs that lead to where the back doors should be. Behind her, a blank white board and a spot where the table that holds the projector and the professors notes should also be.
At least she now felt like she was back in her own mind. She looked down and realized she was still nude. Thankfully, no one could even be here to see her shame. So she didn't bother to cover herself. It was actually quite exciting.
Then she heard slow footsteps. A mans footsteps. It sounds like they were circling the room where the doors should be.
She gulped and let out a shaky breath. A strong presence stood behind her. Tall, large, and giving off a comforting warmth. Suddenly, two muscular arms wrapped around her, enclosing her arms to her sides. They did not squeeze her or constrict all her movement, so she was not fearful.
Maybe it would just be an odd wet dream. She supposed so and stayed calm. But again realizing she was still in the buff and an unknown man was holding her gingerly, she blushed in embarrassment and could feel the warmth trickle down her chest and her nipples tingle in excitement.
She could feel his head come in closer towards her neck, his breath curled around her skin. In a deep, enticing, and serene voice he whispered just behind her ear, "You will be mine, Ophelia." She melted and her heart jumped.
"All of this," he massaged her stomach to her thighs, "will be all mine and to use for my own desires." He stroked her hip as his opposite arm held her two arms. His fingers started gradually crawling towards her mound.
She gasped and pushed herself forward to get out of his reach. Luckily, she got free the first time and she made a dash for the stairs. Halfway up, she cut through a row of the familiar cushioned seats. Stopping to catch a breath she glanced back at the front of the class.
She only got a glimpse of his torso and the top of his head. Definitely large. With toned muscles that are only slightly bigger than average, short silver hair and creamy light skin. Protruding behind him were enormous black wings. Like a ravens wings.
They spread and he was gone from the front. She turned her head to the back and saw there was a door. An exit! She sprinted up the rest of the stairs and was only about three yards from the door.
She kept hearing him call her name behind her. The deep voice getting closer, she could almost hear him growl. She opened the door quickly and shut it behind her firmly. Upon coming back to reality, she could still hear him calling her out and his growls of frustration. | <urn:uuid:16a75966-9646-445c-a4f4-d93b1d2fc7ce> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.literotica.com/s/control-ch-01-5 | 2015-02-28T00:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936461612.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074101-00157-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984503 | 1,493 |
The UK oil and gas industry has achieved a 48% reduction in the number of reportable hydrocarbon releases over three years, the annual Health & Safety report published on 13 June by Oil & Gas UK found. The study also showed that the oil and gas sector has the third-best performance in the UK in terms of non-fatal accidents, with a better safety record than the public sector and the retail and general manufacturing sector. “This year’s Health & Safety report shows that the industry’s unwavering commitment to continuous improvement in the safety of offshore workers is bearing fruit,” Oil & Gas UK’s health and safety director Robert Paterson said.
Other findings of the report included:
• A noticeable and steady reduction in the incidence of over-three day injuries to an all-time low;
• No fatalities and a reduction in combined fatal and major injury rates, and in all types of dangerous occurrences; and
• An all-time low in Level 3 verification non-compliances that relate to performance standards of safety-critical equipment identified by an independent competent person.
“In all this progress, our industry’s safety organization, Step Change in Safety, has played a leading role, and most of the improvement is down to the focused, collaborative effort of companies, workforce representatives, trade unions and the Health and Safety Executive in Step Change,” Mr Paterson said. “However, there is no room for complacency. While the review that followed the Piper Alpha disaster provided the foundation for what is now one of the most robust offshore health and safety regimes in the world, the approaching 25th anniversary of that tragedy only serves to remind us that we must never stop at striving to make things safer. Continued engagement of all parties through Step Change in Safety will be crucial in that effort.” | <urn:uuid:53d427cb-3398-469d-ace3-32a205840a3f> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.drillingcontractor.org/uk-hse-report-reportable-hydrocarbon-releases-nearly-halved-over-three-years-23748 | 2016-08-28T08:39:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982935910.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200855-00098-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952187 | 378 |
Acquisitions Inc. at PAX East
We will be playing our very first Acquisitions Inc live game at PAX East this year. This by itself is pretty exciting in my book but it gets even cooler. We have a brand new intern this time and it is none other than Morgan Webb! Tycho and I have known Morgan for years now. There was a time when we used to do tons of interviews at PAX. There was usually an entire day given over to sitting in a room as various news organizations cycled through asking us questions about PA and PAX. Neither of us liked this very much and so we don’t do it anymore, but Morgan was always awesome. She came in with the G4 crew and we always spent more time talking off camera than on. I’m sure she’ll be a great addition to the AI team.
It’s probably worth mentioning that this particular live show at East will be something of a “return to our roots”. I know the shows at Prime have been getting pretty ridiculous in terms of the sets and costumes. Think of this upcoming show as more of an “Acquisitions Inc. Unplugged” sort of event. It’s just gonna be friends around a table playing D&D without all the extras this time.
Hope to see you there! | <urn:uuid:068e14b6-d63c-4dab-a51a-028b059ba7af> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2014/03/24/acquisitions-inc.-at-pax-east | 2018-04-19T15:30:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125936981.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180419150012-20180419170012-00103.warc.gz | en | 0.967603 | 277 |
Back to Basics: Conductor Stranding
For our first Back to Basics lesson we learned about different conductor materials. We emphasized the importance of understanding the requirements of your application in order to pick a material that will best suit your temperature range, abrasion resistance level, and flexibility needs. This week’s blog discusses different conductor stranding configurations.
There are various stranding formations used in the wire and cable industry, and similar to conductor materials, it is crucial to understand the properties of each conductor stranding arrangement before choosing which accommodates your application best.
Solid Conductors: The cross-sectional area appears as a solid circle. This type of stranding is the most economical; however, it is stiff and prone to breakage.
Stranded Conductor: The cross-sectional area is not a solid circle, and as a result, the stranding is flexible and can withstand repeated bending. This version is more expensive than solid conductors and it is made up of various individual gauge sizes to create the finished AWG size.
Bunched: The individual strands are twisted together with no specific geometric configuration, thus causing the stranding to have a rough surface. All the strands have the same lay direction and lay length. These types of conductors are usually used in static cable designs, such as the Alpha Xtra-Guard® Series.
Unilay®: Conductors are twisted together with the same lay direction and cable lay length and have a well-defined geometric configuration and defined cross-section. This configuration, like the bunched configuration, is also common in static cable designs.
Unidirectional Concentric: The word “concentric” refers to the definition of the word, meaning having a common center. A concentric conductor is defined by a central strand surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid (think DNA) conductors. In this case, the helically laid conductors surround the central strand with the same direction or lay and an increased lay length. Concentric configurations allow for tight diameter tolerances and have smooth surfaces that are suitable for high performance torsional designs such as Robotics applications.
Concentric: Conductors that are surrounded by well-defined layers of helically laid conductors are considered to be true concentric. Each layer has a reversed lay direction and an increased lay length in each layer. Similar to Unidirectional Concentric stranding, this configuration is typically used in high performance torsional designs.
Equilay®: This includes central conductors that are surrounded by well-defined layers of helically laid conductors. Each layer has a reverse lay direction and increasing lay length. This configuration can also be used in torsional designs.
Rope: Several groups of either bunched or concentric strands combined into a circular pattern are considered a rope stranding. The most common number of conductor groups is usually 7 or 19. Rope stranding increases flexibility more than a simple bunched configuration, because it allows for a larger number of fine strands to be used while maintaining a tight diameter tolerance.
With the above in mind, you can now confidently choose the stranding you need for your next application. | <urn:uuid:348204b5-f889-49f0-ac07-ef7025a31cca> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.alphawire.com/en/Company/Blog/2015/October/Back%20to%20Basics%20with%20Conductor%20Stranding | 2018-03-20T00:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647244.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319234034-20180320014034-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.924537 | 650 |

Monday of Holy Week, April 10, 2017 Psalm 36:9
Psalm 36:9 English Standard Version (ESV)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
God and His Word are compared to refreshing waters (See Proverbs 18:4; Isaiah 55:1) God gives life in both temporal and eternal realms. Ultimately, for sinners, God provides the water of life through Jesus Christ. Apart from Him, we are in darkness. Knowing Him brings enlightenment and joy.
The cross is now our focus as we enter this important week in the life of the church. It is Christ elevated on a cross, which will draw people to Himself. He bore our sins in His body on the tree that we might die to sin and live unto righteousness. By his wounds, you have been healed. – 1 Peter 2:24 How does Jesus’ death and resurrection make you better? How might you communicate His sacrifice to others?
Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that we, who amid so many adversities do fail through our own infirmities, may be restored through the Passion and intercession of Thine only-begotten Son.
Almighty God, whose dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other that the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
