Earlier this summer I photographed Jody and Chris’s wedding at the Gower Hotel. I tell you I have to pinch myself sometimes doing this job as you get to meet so many great people and have a good bit of fun. The day started at Chris’s parent house where he and the ushers were getting themselves ready, it turns out Chris loves his Motorbikes. So I am taking pictures and chatting bikes ! You don’t get a better start to a day.
Once the boys were nearing getting ready it was time for me to hotfoot down the Gower to catch up with the stunning Jody having the finishing touches to her makeup. Then theres’s Jody’s eyes WOW, just WOW.
The weather was perfect, even it it had been threatening to rain all week, and even the best man’s wife managed to be ready in time after turning up at the hotel in the morning to realise she hadn’t packed her dress! Some one must have driven like Lewis Hamilton to go home and get back to the hotel in time!
We had a lovely ceremony and after a quick change around the guest were ushered in for the wedding breakfast. But before sitting down there was the small matter of cutting THAT cake. Wow what a cake, it just looked too good to eat, and couldn’t begin to think how you would cut it up, I didn’t envy the kitchen staff tasked with that job.
Jody and Chris and their family and friends are a good lively bunch, needless to say the evening party was well and truly in full swing by the time I departed.
All that’s left to say is Congratulations Jody & Chris, I had a great day, and you guys looked like you did too. | <urn:uuid:9a690e7b-a555-4dbb-93ce-5a5470776ee3> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://dgwedding.co.uk/jody-chris-gower-hotel/ | 2018-07-19T14:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591140.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180719144851-20180719164851-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.983178 | 372 |
I am an 83 year old man now living in the Veterans Home of California in Yountville. I have been involved in the arts since I was a student in the sixth grade when I won a contest for the best art work. I have a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Colorado. After graduation I developed an interest in geometric art having seen exhibitions of Op Art in New York and later in St. Louis where I created Op Art paintings on masonite panels using florescent spray paints. In 1964 my application for the Masters Program in fine art at the University of California in Berkeley was accepted. However, I did not continue my education there for personal reasons. Instead I found work as an architectural model maker in San Francisco during the expansion of high rise buildings in the late 60’s and early 70’s. during that time I received independent commissions to create art wall panels for a restaurant in New Orleans and a spa in Mill Valley Ca. In addition to my work as a model maker I also developed techniques to create geometric sculptures using parts cut from 3 inch thick plexiglas (Lucite), and assembled with colored dyes interspersed into the glue joints and machined into geometric shapes using a Bridgeport milling machine. The surfaces were then sanded and polished to reveal multiple inner and outer reflections. After I left the model shop I opened a custom furniture business where I created pieces of my won design for clients. Now I primarily concentrate on photography.

OK... This is somewhat weird. The previous IT Admin created a network using 10.0.0.X. No big deal there, but the gateway is 10.0.0.5. For some reason, it seems that only Macs and iPhones have an issue being about to get on the internet using this configuration.
Apple products connect - get ip, subnet, dns right - (wifi and wired), but they cannot get out... Very strange. Neither fixed or DHCP works.
I have thought of changing to a more usual 10.0.0.1 router config, but the amount of issues this would cause with different hardware with fixed IPs is questionable.
Any ideas why the apple products would have issues? | <urn:uuid:c11355d9-144f-4776-aac0-7229d43ca705> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/apple-network-issues/?watch=39963 | 2014-11-22T11:54:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400377510.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123257-00009-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948451 | 151 |
The Gophers will hit the road again after a two-game homestand to play Southern California on Saturday.
The Trojans (3-5) have struggled in recent years, and they’ve already dropped two games to Big Ten opponents Nebraska and Illinois this season.
No. 14 Minnesota (9-1) will put its five-game winning streak on the line in its fifth game away from home in its past seven.
“We’re not ignoring anybody,” head coach Tubby Smith said. “Going into anybody’s home … court, it’s tough.”
Smith’s squad is fresh off a season-high 88 points in a win against South Dakota State. It will play a Trojans team that has allowed 66 points per game, including 94 to Illinois on Nov. 19.
Andre Hollins passed Rodney Williams as the team’s top scorer this season after scoring 22 points against SDSU. Williams had a season-low two points in the win, but he’s still the team’s second-leading scorer.
Hollins said he still has plenty to work on, despite having a season-best zero turnovers against SDSU.
“I have to start playing like that more consistently,” Hollins said. “I have to get better at staying focused the whole game.”
Minnesota shot 1-for-13 from long range during Saturday’s game against North Florida.
The Gophers placed an extra emphasis on shooting in the practices leading up to Tuesday’s game.
“We’ve won games without three pointers before, so it’s not a main priority,” Austin Hollins said, “but it paid off for everybody [against SDSU].”
Minnesota has spread the ball well this season, averaging 17 assists. It had 21 assists on 33 field goals Tuesday.
“I like the unselfishness that we play with,” Smith said.
The Gophers complete their home-and-home series with USC on Saturday — the Trojans came to Williams Arena last year and lost 55-40.
The series came together because Smith and USC head coach Kevin O’Neill have been friends for a long time, Gophers director of basketball operations Joe Esposito told the Minnesota Daily in April.
Collectively, the Gophers have emphasized not looking past their nonconference opponents as they’ve risen in the rankings.
But Andre Hollins, who shot 6-for-7 from long range Tuesday, said he’s ready for more.
“I can’t wait for the Big Ten to start,” he said. | <urn:uuid:fd5f7a35-1b4a-4e27-ae52-70d384fce196> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.mndaily.com/2012/12/06/gophers-hit-road-again-play-usc | 2015-05-29T20:24:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207930423.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113210-00036-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959936 | 576 |

Jones on Free Women of Color in the Antebellum North
Posted by Mary L. Dudziak
Southern Free Women of Color in the Antebellum North: Race, Class, and a 'New Women's Legal History,' is a new article by Bernie D. Jones, UMass-Amherst Legal Studies and Suffolk Law School. It is forthcoming in the Akron Law Review. Here's the abstract: This article explores the possibilities of a "new women's legal history" as indicated by the intersections of race, gender and class as experienced by Southern enslaved women newly freed in the antebellum North, such as Nancy Wells of Mississippi and Amy Willis of South Carolina. Women such as these had been the enslaved partners and biological daughters of white slaveholding men in the South. They were brought north to Ohio for the purpose of being manumitted and identified as family members eligible to receive inheritances in their home states. The article considers too, the significance of John Jolliffe, a Cincinnati abolitionist lawyer, in developing legal strategies and representing the men and women. These private law cases, involving manumission, inheritance rights and family matters, further contribute to an understanding of abolitionist law practice. Cases such as these also enabled the practice that gave him notoriety: his pro bono work representing clients like Margaret Garner, who fought repatriation to slavery under the fugitive slave acts. The first section contextualizes the development of theoretical perspectives on race, gender and class in American legal history. The second explains the social and legal status of African-American women in the antebellum United States, enslaved and free. It demonstrates the significance of legal institutions in northern states like Ohio that affected the fortunes of newly freed women of color and influenced their abilities to gain inheritances in their homes states in the South. John Jolliffe is discussed in section three, and the article concludes in section four with a discussion of the relationship between the different types of cases Jolliffe handled: the manumission and inheritance cases discussed in the previous sections and the fugitive slave cases as demonstrated in the case of Margaret Garner. | <urn:uuid:e45a6a49-0db7-49cf-99bb-ae0398cc30b2> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://legalhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/jones-on-free-women-of-color-in.html | 2015-05-30T22:35:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207932737.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113212-00291-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95431 | 433 |

We scoured our brains, and the Internet, to bring you a few “par”-ific ideas for a golf-themed birthday party, which are listed below. Thanks to the excellent blog Kara’s Party Ideas for the inspiration; check out more ideas and fun golf party images by clicking here. Etsy, TipJunkie.com, birthdaypartyideas4kids.com, and kids-birthday-party-guide.com are also chock full of great golf-themed party ideas. And remember—it’s always smart to adapt the ideas to be age-appropriate.
Ideas for Invitation Wording for Golf-Themed Party

Golf-Themed Party Food Ideas
- Make or purchase a cake designed to look like a putting green.
- Make a bunker/sand trap with Rice Krispie treats.
- Use blue Jello to create a water hazard.
- 5th (or the age the child will be turning) hole=chocolate-covered cookies
- Create flag sticks (pretzel rods with a homemade paper flag/triangle and hole number wrapped around the rod)
- Bucket of balls (donut holes placed in a bucket)
- Donut “holes in one” (donuts placed on skewers and then put in a square vase along with fake grass as a space filler and cute accent)
- Par-Faits (fruit and yogurt parfaits)
- Fruit golf balls created using a melon baller
- Chip-it (chips)
- Club sandwiches
- Peanut “putter” sandwiches (PB+J sandwiches)
- Iced tee
- Green apple punch
- If it’s an adult birthday party, create golf-themed and green cocktails.
Activity Ideas for a Golf-Themed Party
- If you have access to a golf cart, give golf cart rides to the kids.
- If age appropriate, think about hosting the party at a miniature golf center.
- Make a mini crazy golf course in your backyard, if space and weather permits.
- Have golf ball relays or set up a golf-related obstacle course.
- If you know a young golf professional, think about asking him/her to come to the party and give a mini group lesson (to those who are truly interested in golf).
- Dig for golf balls: Fill a mini pool with sand, and hide golf balls within it.
Ideas for favors
- Plastic golf club sets that can be found at a local discount store.
- Golf-themed chocolates or truffles (dip round balls of cookie dough or other delicious mixture in white chocolate to look like golf balls)
- Golf ball pops (put Oreo cookies on a stick and dip in white chocolate to look like golf balls, then wrap in cellophane and tie with a green ribbon)
- Golf balls and tees
I hope you have found some useful ideas. Have fun planning a golf-themed birthday party for the golfer, big or small, in your life! | <urn:uuid:0eafad03-c3fd-41f5-9be2-e25457454aec> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://blog.ggclub.com/2012/04/how-to-plan-a-golf-themed-birthday-party/ | 2015-08-28T05:06:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644060413.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025420-00297-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.858294 | 955 |
Access to Talent
The modern American workforce requires a flexible employment environment that allows workers to find opportunities that best match their skills, interests, and availability.
- TechNet opposes efforts to eliminate or severely restrict this essential flexibility, including restrictions on the use of independent contractor and consultant classifications, inflexible overtime rules, and the indiscriminate expansion of collective bargaining rules.
- TechNet supports efforts to develop new avenues and “safe-harbors” that empower companies to provide benefits to workers without impacting classification outcomes.
Access to Capital and Markets
Startups thrive when they have access to capital and markets. State and federal policymakers can improve the capital allocation process through targeted reforms to regulations and tax laws. TechNet supports:
- Federal policies that create “venture exchanges."
- Promoting more stock ownership opportunities for workers at startups by allowing them to defer the tax associated with the exercise of their personal equity until they sell the underlying shares and thus have the cash to pay the tax, instead of taxing these options upon vesting.
- Federal policies that reduce unnecessary barriers for private companies opting to go public.
- State-level policies that encourage crowdfunding.
- The permanent exclusion of federal and state capital gains taxes on investments in startup businesses that are held for more than five years.
- Innovative tax credits that can apply to other tax requirements beyond corporate income tax obligations.
- Ensuring that tax policies affecting the gig and sharing economy help promote economic opportunities, provide clarity, do not impose significant administrative burdens for job creators, and also recognize the unique differences that exist among the business models of innovators operating in this growing segment of the economy.
- A smart regulatory approach that requires state and federal regulators to review any regulation’s impact on startup companies and new business creation.
- International trade agreements that reduce market access barriers for digitally delivered goods and services, promote the free flow of data across borders, and contain “safe-harbors” against intermediary liability and strong protections for intellectual property.
- Access to federal, state, and local infrastructure, transportation, services, and resources.
Access to Innovation
Public policy should help startups move projects efficiently from the idea phase to the new business phase. TechNet supports:
- The exploration of new ownership models, including co-ownership between inventors and universities.
- The creation of a National Innovation Foundation — modeled after the National Science Foundation — to focus on innovation and technology commercialization.
- Patent policies that level the playing field to promote innovation in all sectors of the economy and minimizes frivolous litigation.
- Procurement reform at the local, state, and federal levels that acknowledges the evolving technology landscape and enables governments to purchase and utilize innovative and secure products on a technology-neutral basis.
- Efforts to open insurance markets to competition.
The world’s most talented innovators and entrepreneurs should be able to stay in the U.S. and contribute to the economy, rather than be forced out to start competitor businesses in competitor nations. TechNet supports:
- Federal immigration legislation, regulations, policies, and adjudications that facilitate, not restrict, the movement of high-skilled workers and entrepreneurs starting a new company.
- Numerical levels and categories for high-skilled non-immigrant and immigrant visas should be responsive to economic need and, where appropriate, include mechanisms to fluctuate based on transparent, predictable, and objective standards.
- The removal of per-country green card caps.
- A STEM visa for foreign students attending U.S. universities and colleges who have earned master’s degrees or above.
An educated, diverse American workforce is the lifeblood of the innovation economy. TechNet supports:
- Consistent short- and long-term funding for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and computer science courses.
- Strong standards and rigorous assessments to better evaluate what and how students are learning.
- Programs that ensure principles of computer science, computational thinking, and STEM skills are integrated in other areas of K-12 instruction.
- Effective professional development and new teacher training programs to train high-quality STEM and computer science teachers.
- Policies and programs that focus on providing STEM education and career opportunities for female and minority students.
- School and public/private programs, such as robotics clubs, that emphasize hands-on, inquiry-based learning to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. | <urn:uuid:6af5e3a4-b07d-4872-8c70-cfe6cff5bb5e> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://technet.org/policy/startup-agenda | 2020-10-21T04:40:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107875980.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20201021035155-20201021065155-00694.warc.gz | en | 0.917022 | 906 |
Associated Minds seem to pull out all the stops for Mudmowth releases. His Circus In The Cemetary set from a couple of years ago came out on particularly stylish white vinyl. This joint ‘mini-LP’ with Metabeats comes in an equally posh embossed digipack. I’m always one of the first to moan when a project that you have to pay for is only released digitally, and I guess this is one way to try and counter that trend. If artists and labels put as much thought into the product as they do the music itself, then they can create something that may persuade people to go for the physical rather than the digital product. Props to AM for leading the way.
But, none of this would matter if the tunes were wack, so how do the 8 tracks onboard here shape up? Mudmowth has clearly come a long way as an MC. I first heard him on Ghost’s Seldom Seen Often Heard album, where his featured track was (an admittedly dope) self parody of a Welshman making hip-hop. Whilst this track clearly demonstrated the man’s talent, it’s almost gimmicky nature didn’t necessarily suggest that a great career was in store. These days however, Mudmowth is nothing if not versatile. The lyrical tone shifts dramatically from track to track, through introspective self-criticism to inspirational stories to dark streams of punchlines. The quality of the rhymes holds up throughout, although the cohesiveness of the project does suffer a touch, as you may not always be inclined to play it through from start to finish.
The quality of the production here shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who heard Metabeats’ heavily slept on Metaphysical album from 2008. No beat here misses the mark, whether it’s the heavyweight neck-snapper of ‘Maaad Tight’, the RZA-like wails on ‘Sledgehammer’ or the horns on the intro. Things are also kept interesting with a smattering of live instrumentation, mainly provided by P.L.O. The guitar on Sing Tears being a particular highlight.
Picking out highlights here is really just down to personal taste, due to the consistent quality. For me, Sing Tears, Concrete Buttercups & Life’s Never Enough are all vying to be the best track on here, as these are the ones where the songwriting really stands out. Sing Tears is a particularly personal effort, with Mudmowth breaking down his relationship with his father amongst other subjects. An infectious hook is provided by Richie Hayes, and when all this is coupled with Metabeats’ plodding keys, the result is a captivating track. Concrete Buttercups is an excellent way for the project to finish. The laidback, soulful, sax laced production allows Mud to put forward a more optimistic view of the world than is on display elsewhere on the album, verse 3 probably being the best:
“There’s too many people in this world who are simply existing,
You need to break out of your bubble and really start living.
Because nowadays the only people smiling are the children,
Because when you hit your teens, all that stress starts building.
The British mindstate: wake early, work late.
Man, we’re slaves to the wage until we reach our graves.
I know you’ve all got to keep a little food on your plate,
But some of you people live to work, and it should be the other way.”
So what missteps are there? The use of a tongue-in-cheek autotune chorus on Ghost doesn’t really work. Satirically using autotune is starting to become a cliché in itself, and the fact that this track’s own hook begins to grate after repeated listening ironically emphasises the point it was trying to make in the first place. Mud also has a tendency to slip the odd unnecessarily crass line in here and there, such as claiming on Maaad Tight that he is “fisting Rihanna with her umbrella”. But when you have to pick on individual lines, rather than whole verses or tracks, the artist must be doing something right. In the liner notes, Mudmowth says that “it’s gotta be an album next time”. Damn right, as there is no doubt that as an Mud has the songwriting ability and versatility to hold down a full length project, and that Metabeats status as one of the most slept on beatsmiths in the country will be in danger if he keeps producing Sledgehammers like this.

What’s your favourite…
Technology you can’t live without?
Location Services (GPS): It’s enabled so many things that have infiltrated my life, Google Maps, Uber, UberEats, AirBnB etc. I had a weeknight visit to Devonport for a function the other day and there were no Ubers around – getting a Taxi was such an ordeal and had so much uncertainty! Enough to wonder how we did it in the first place.
Underrated or old technology?
DVD. My Sopranos, Band of Brothers and The Wire box sets aren’t going to watch themselves. None of those are easy to stream in NZ either!
In all seriousness, I think one of the most underrated technologies is Computer Vision. It’s an area that Rush is adding to its cap and focusing in on with a dedicated team, technology and R&D programme.
If I asked you which sense would you be least willing to give up, chances are you’d say your eyesight – there’s a reason for that: around 60% of the human brain is tied to vision based activity, with around 20% of your grey purely dedicated to processing what your eyes see. When CV systems achieve parity with human capability, we (at Rush) believe we will see the real power of AI unleashed.
To give you a bit of background, computer vision has been around a little while, it’s basically image analysis algorithms that give a computer system the ability to understand what is going on in an image or video stream – much like how our eyes and brain do this for us. Computer vision relies heavily on machine learning and AI based techniques, but the reason I think it’s flying under the radar a bit is because vision is such a key human sense, and computers are effectively blind right now. The field has a lot of room for improvement, and the big players know it – Intel quietly acquired MobileEye (a computer vision company specialising in vehicle autonomy) for a cool US$15 billion, and Apple, Google, Snap and Facebook have homed in on Augmented reality (a specialisation of C.V). I could keep naming names but that should give you a good idea.

New Zealand tech company or individual in that space that’s doing seriously cool things?
Rush Digital and McCarthy Finch of course! But in a less self-serving manner, Cradle.io and Nyraid are ones to watch. Soul Machines as well. I know both CEOs/Founders (James McCarthy and Alex St John) and they are very impressive serial entrepreneurs with tech and business savvy that’s rare. I’ve met Mark Sagar and know some of the team at Soul Machines and it’s amazing technology led by passionate people – always a recipe for success.
Global tech company or individual in that space that’s doing seriously cool things?
The A.I advancement and innovation being led by Google is the obvious answer, but there are so many amazing startups…
One that stuck with me was Zipline drones — delivery of blood and other emergency medical supplies via drone + parachute. Currently used by the Rwandan government they are (1) reducing the time to get supplies (2) increasing access to supplies because they don’t rely on poor or non-existent roading infrastructure. For me, this is what technology is for: to serve humanity.
Tech project or product you’ve had a hand in?
Too many to list! Developing a pay-wave enabled donation box (in the shape of a rugby ball) with ASB Bank for the DHL Lions Series was the most recent really fun project, we helped fundraise for the Starship Children's Hospital with ASB and got to do end-to-end hardware and software product design collaboratively.
Tech project or product that isn’t yours, but you’re envious of?
The Mill Blackbird car rig. Saw it at SXSW this year, too badass for words.
What first drew you to this industry?
The interactive nature of computers - a totally new human interface for doing things. Video games in particular were appealing because of the strong visual elements (I’m quite a visual person). I wanted to be able to create beautiful interactive experiences so learned a lot of about computer graphics and user experience - I hate friction, and video games are the strongest demonstration of smooth and intuitive user experience that you can get.
What do you enjoy the most about working in tech?
The speed, the challenge and the overpowering ability for it to “move the needle,” especially for the underdog. We live in a time where the world faces many social and environmental challenges, and technology arguably has lead to some of these, but it also has the incredible power to help us surpass these challenges. Uncovering and tackling these challenges fuels me to no-end.
How would you describe New Zealand’s tech culture?
Emerging. It’s still got many issues, culture, and limited talent both in the form of talent development from schools, university and sourcing through immigration etc. But the hallmark attributes are there, scrappiness isn’t a bad thing, but it’s hard to progress through the stages here to e.g. an IPO or global footprint, but we are getting better at it.
We also need to work on our diversity, training and re-training of skilled women into programming is something I’m passionate about and want to make a reality for our industry - it’s ludicrous that we are automatically excluded hiring from about 50% of the population because years even before our company existing, fewer women had considered tech (for whatever reason) to be a viable career but have all the right attributes to be great engineers or programmers.
Where does inspiration come from for you?
Friends and family provide all the motivation and inspiration to always do my best and keep me level-headed when it’s waning or things are tough.
My ideas are inspired by a vision of our future where computers and technology are almost invisible but are a backbone of society and social equity.
My curiosity and thirst for a wide range of subjects really fuels this by (Steve really said it best) “connecting the dots”. I’m a bit of a slow reader but I have “wasted” my fair share of time reading the most random Wikipedia articles because something has led me down a rabbit hole. Audiobooks, Podcasts (Infinite Monkey Cage, A16Z, SYMIHC) etc. and tonnes of news and magazine articles (TechCrunch, Idealog, Popular Mechanics, New Scientist, Time, BBC, The Guardian, CNN, Fox News when I need a laugh!)
How has tech impacted on your work? How will it impact on it in the future?
Helps me stay organised and helps me be a better communicator. I can move faster and do things with less friction. As CTO, it’s enabled higher level problem solving in many cases to deliver big ideas, fast with less risk, and go from a 1-hour prototype to a full scale product serving many users easier than ever.
Ready access to compute and compact computers has enabled a new world of digital-real-world touchpoints for us, so the above isn’t true for just software.
What’s been the most concerning change that technology has made to human behaviour, in your experience?
The “bubble effect” or “echo chamber”, and what I would potentially call the lemming effect.
The “lemming effect” is where organisations ruthlessly follow the data and optimise the heck out of a metric to extract profit or performance without considering the big picture - perfect example is a period in mobile gaming where Free To Play got out of hand, where developers would create highly addictive loops and then introduce pain through timers or paywalls that could be “paid through” - for me this was gambling-esq. and personally infuriating, as you want to always be paying for enjoyment not medication (especially if it’s for entertainment!).
The bubble effect, is where algorithms and optimisations are basically showing you more of the same stuff because you like it, regardless if it was correct, healthy or appropriate. Everything in moderation, people! If you surround yourself with people who think the same as you, you’ll never have an original idea, take ten times as long to solve a problem or have quite a one-sided perspective on the world.
How would you describe your relationship with technology? Do you think you’re addicted to any form of it?
I’m not really addicted to any particular technology, but I’m certainly reliant on it and addicted to the field. There’s good and bad, right? I’ve been told off a few times for being on my phone or multi-tasking while on a personal call and I’m now better at being respectful towards the person I’m with! I think that’s something a lot of us can relate to as a “bad thing.”
If you know me I’m a fairly spontaneous and chill person, A “good thing” with technology is that it allows this and I use it to maximum effect where I can. It’s made my life better, I hate over-planning things and tech lets me get away with “rolling the dice” weather its exploring the world, learning new skills, doing something fun or surprising someone, technology is great!
I’m definitely addicted to discovery and the speed which technology moves, I love creating new things with technology and trying out the latest technology – as a company Rush has always ridden the front of the wave, that’s certainly inherited from my natural “addiction” to explore.
Do you think social media is a blessing or a curse?
Do you think technology needs more laws surrounding it, or a form of resource consent regulation?
Yes, definitely but in a very pragmatic way. Regulation slows things down, but there are some broad strokes that I think need to be carefully made.
Regulation that acts in a protectionist capacity, especially when consumers lose out, is bad for everyone. “A rising tide lifts all boats” and this is especially true in the competitive consumer space.
Cumbersome regulation or regulation that isn’t able to adapt is equally bad for similar reasons. Healthcare I think is an area that needs help, the technology is moving so fast, but the organisations are tied down in bureaucracy and politics that the years it takes for good tech to find traction probably literally translates to thousands if not millions of lives saved or improved.
One area that I feel regulation is a must, is where technology can cause undeniable harm. These are probably just common sense but, let’s take AI and genetic testing – both amazing technologies, but where’s the line drawn when you have an AI controlled weapons system deciding to kill or incapacitate? This is probably more relevant in countries that don’t have an inclusive health care system like NZ’s but with genetic testing: how much does an insurance company get to prejudice your healthcare premiums based on a genetic maybe and price you out of basic needs for you and your family?
What needs to be done to tackle the diversity issue in tech?
There is certainly a gender diversity issue in tech (globally) – It’s close to home for us, we have a stellar team of men and women, and an amazing amount of cultural diversity (at last count around 17 distinct countries and cultures) – but we’re still more than 50% male. That doesn’t sit well with me because it means we are leaving out different ways of thinking, communicating and approaches to problem solving, and improving that is only going to make our workplace better and be good for business, and it simply not being socially equitable makes it easy to acknowledge as well.
All men have daughters, mums and sisters, and I want mine to have the same shot at everything that I do, wouldn’t you?
The thinking came about for me when it struck me that women have been disadvantaged in the world for so long, that really all our innovation over the past however many years has come about with a pointless handicap – I’m not suggesting that men did all the work, it’s obvious there are so many women innovators and genius’ but we haven’t acknowledged or celebrated them the same way we have the men – in my mind this has to have led to at least a 1% negative effect, which spanning many generations has to have added up! Imagine the potential we’ll unlock when everyone regardless of gender, race and background can have a go at inventing new technology.
I’m a firm believer in re-training. I’ve met and know so many amazing women that have the right attributes to be great engineers and programmers. A cohesive strategy that doesn’t simply rely on quotas needs to be put forward and executed. At Rush we’ve been working on a re-training idea, but that’s got its own issues (how do we support people while they are re-training, what happens if they suck at it etc.?) so we need help, but it’s a start.
For many systemic reasons, the fundamental issue of young girls and women not seeing technology as a valid career path certainly needs a grass roots movement to tackle, and there are so many great organisations doing work in this area like WIA (Women in Animation) and OMGTech!
Simply offering retraining is not going to solve the problem, just as much as simply doing grass roots work isn’t going to get us there completely.
I would love to see a goal and vision set down, and all the major, medium, minor and start-up companies agree to it and work to introduce it in their mind-set and culture. To borrow from Kristy Scanlan and WIA – their vision is awesomely succinct “50/50 by 2025.” From there we can start to form a plan that everyone can buy into, and the beauty of it is that it’s not really going to put anyone out but it will grow the talent pool and with that will come new ideas, new thinking and more pace!
What worries you the most about technology?
That we sometimes use it for the wrong stuff. We have a few challenges today and on the horizon in global society and the environment, and I think we could really be doing more but we can tend to focus a little too much on other things sometimes.
What’s your scariest prediction for the future? Will the robots kill us all?
No, the robots won’t kill us, unless we programme them to, or we program them to program themselves to... maybe watch Terminator again to remember how to stop Arnie, ya-know, just in case.
My scariest prediction is that we won’t use it to its full potential and we miss our window to save ourselves from climate change, superbugs and maybe ironically, ourselves.
What will New Zealand look like as a country in 2037?
This is a great question, I’m burying a copy of this issue of Idealog in my garden and I’ll get someone (maybe me!) to dig it up in 2037 to see if it’s come true!
Hypersonic travel and LEOT (Low Earth Orbital Transit) will be a thing, so getting to NZ won’t be the 24 hour ordeal it can be right now. That access to the world is going to bring about lots of great things. We might host the Olympic games?
I think our society will have evolved to facilitate creativity and foster innovation, I think we will continue to be admired for our environmental awareness and beauty, maybe leading the way in conservation via technology.
I think robots, AI and autonomy will have created a smart city ecosystem that makes life very liveable and vibrant where technology sits passively and transparently in the background. We’ll probably still play rugby, or be big into e-gaming (we love our video games!)
We’ll always be innovators, and I wonder if the kiwi boat builders will turn their world-beating skills in materials and navigating dangerous voyages to the next frontier of space exploration. | <urn:uuid:e2f4fd53-5fac-4577-877e-a8e48f0b6ada> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://idealog.co.nz/tech/2017/08/reality-check-rush-digitals-danu-abeysuriya | 2017-09-20T14:38:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687324.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170920142244-20170920162244-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.953153 | 3,475 |
Tommy Lasorda spent his life prophesying his death. His most famous sayings, the wisecracks that he repeated until they became Dodgers lore, were all about mortality: the flesh and the divine.
If you were to slit his wrists, Lasorda said a million times, he would bleed Dodger blue. Examine his heart, which doctors did after he suffered coronaries in 1996 and 2012, and you’ll find “Dodgers” tattooed on it. He put his faith, of course, in the Big Dodger in the Sky. And he cautioned everyone—me included, the one time I interviewed him—that if you don’t love the Dodgers, there’s a good chance you won’t get to heaven.
The line that’s been trotted out lately, since Lasorda went into cardiac arrest one final time on January 7 at the age of 93, is the one about his tombstone—how he wanted it to say, “Dodger Stadium was his address, but every ballpark was his home.” As a tribute to his loyalty and enthusiasm, the Dodgers actually presented Lasorda with just such a grave marker. The team festooned it with a bleeding heart, its secretions painted blue. “I’m the only guy in America with his own tombstone!” Lasorda shouted with delight.
Lasorda was a quote machine, a gloriously profane raconteur.
What’s extraordinary, and perhaps forgotten, is that Lasorda did not receive the tombstone as an old man. It was not a retirement gift or a birthday gag. He had not yet been enshrined in baseball’s Hall of Fame. He had not yet even taken the helm as the Dodgers’ manager. It was the late 1960s—Lasorda still in his early forties, managing the club’s minor league team in Ogden, Utah—when the life-and-death adages he’d begun adopting earned him a marble slab.
There was some religiosity to it. The son of blue-collar Italian immigrants, Lasorda was a devout Catholic. But he was also a showman, a pep talker, a quote machine, and a gloriously profane raconteur. If loving the Dodgers meant trafficking in the sepulchral, it was not because Lasorda was so solemn—it was because the here and now mattered so damn much. He wasn’t about to squander his time on earth, and he didn’t want you to either.
In the vast, fractured sprawl of Los Angeles rendered even more disjointed by the pandemic, there are few things we all agree on, even fewer that make each of us—Northridger and Long Beacher, Santa Monican and Pomonan—all feel like Angelenos. Sports come closest to giving us a common vocabulary. It supplies the small circle of first-name-basis figures who transcend our geography, bridge our cultures, and translate our emotions. Chick was one. Vin, bless him, remains another. Magic probably fits into that pantheon. Kobe, a more complicated figure, abruptly claimed a spot.
Tommy—who started out as Thomas and entered baseball as Tom—has united us for most, if not all, our lives. More motivator than tactician, he led the Dodgers to the World Series four times during his 20 years as manager, winning it all in 1981 and 1988. If you count the decades before and after, as a pitcher, scout, coach, senior adviser, and global ambassador—a career that spanned the move west from Brooklyn—Lasorda spent an incredible 71 years championing the Dodgers, which made him close to a permanent fixture on the L.A. landscape. Even if you cared little for baseball, you knew his name and understood the contagiousness of his devotion. That he was imperfect—loud, brash, melodramatic, even cartoonish—only made him more lovable.
In a sport so steeped in tradition that it requires managers to dress in the same uniforms as their players, Lasorda couldn’t help but let it all hang out; lumpiness became his brand. When the pot-bellied Phillie Phanatic mascot mocked him between innings during a 1988 game in Philadelphia—clutching a Dodgers effigy as the P.A. system played Weird Al Yankovic’s “I’m Fat”—a steamed Lasorda charged the furry green creature, dropping it to the Astroturf. “That’s the quickest Tommy’s moved all year,” the TV announcer deadpanned.
Embracing the moment, Lasorda soon became a SlimFast pitchman—a decision he attributed to his third plate of linguine and clams during spring training in 1990. Egged on by Dodgers stars Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson, who wagered $20,000 that he couldn’t shed 20 pounds by the All-Star break, Lasorda chugged enough diet shakes to shrink himself from 218 to a svelte 182. Before gaining it all back, he used his winnings, plus his endorsement fees and powers of persuasion, to help fund a new convent for the Sisters of Mercy in Nashville.
It’s hard to think of a skipper in any sport more recognizable or ubiquitous than Lasorda. He hawked Rolaids, Econo Lodge, Honda lawn mowers, Yoplait, Glad, Skechers, and, in the saddest of his endorsements, the law firm of personal-injury attorney Larry H. Parker. Because he spoke exuberant (if inexact) Spanish, he even did a Budweiser commercial en español—playing off the literal translation of his last name: “the deaf one.”
“Por favor, no grite,” says Lasorda— “Don’t shout”—“Aquí estan dos Budweisers frías.”
He appeared on Everybody Loves Raymond, Fantasy Island, Police Squad!, and CHiPs; lunched at the White House; raised money for sick kids and wounded cops; presided over countless banquets and fantasy camps; came out of retirement to lead the underdog U.S. baseball team to a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics; and earned a new following on YouTube with old footage of his expletive-laden rants.
Delivered with the conviction of a Joe Pesci character, Lasorda’s greatest f-bomb hits included his 1982 takedown of Padres infielder Kurt Bevacqua, who had blamed that “fat little Italian” for ordering his teammate beaned the day before.
“Fucking Bevacqua,” countered Lasorda, relishing the opportunity to dish it out. “Couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat.” In a clip that has amassed more than a million views, Lasorda added: “And I guaran-fucking-tee you this: when I . . . was going to pitch against a fucking team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I sent a fucking limousine to get the cocksucker to make sure he was in the motherfucking lineup. Because I kick that cocksucker’s ass any fucking day of the week.”
It is a testament to Lasorda’s goodwill—and the theatricality of his shtick—that Bevacqua became an admirer. “Anytime you heard Tommy talk,” he said in a television interview the day after Lasorda’s death, “he was talking about what a great game baseball was.”
Only once did Lasorda’s bluster fall flat. When his 33-year-old son and namesake, a denizen of West Hollywood’s club scene, died of AIDS in 1991, Lasorda refused to acknowledge the cause. In an uncomfortable portrait in GQ about their complicated but undeniably loving relationship, Lasorda was quoted as saying: “My son wasn’t gay. No way. No way. I read that in a paper. I also read in that paper that a lady gave birth to a fuckin’ monkey, too. That’s not the fuckin’ truth. That’s not the truth.”
It’s hard to believe that Lasorda, a man with incomparable instincts for what made people tick, didn’t know the truth. But he was still an old-school Italian American from the industrial borough of Norristown, Pennsylvania, who settled in Fullerton and stayed married to the same woman for 70 years; given the chance to destigmatize a plague, he chose to protect the myth of Blue Heaven.
Not content with a mere tombstone to commemorate his fealty to the Dodgers, Lasorda came up with a campy addendum. For a half a century or so, he’d been telling anyone who would listen that he wanted to continue working for the Dodgers even when he was dead and gone. The punch line: “When I die, I want my wife to put the Dodgers home schedule on my tombstone. And when the people are in the cemetery visiting their loved ones, they’ll say, ‘Let’s go to Lasorda’s grave to find out if the Dodgers are playing at home or on the road.’ ”
Lasorda recounted that story some years ago on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, eliciting cheers from the audience and a pained, quizzical look from his host.
“Wow, wait—” said O’Brien.
“Now that’s pride,” insisted Lasorda.
“That’s pride, but—” said O’Brien.
Lasorda was determined to have the last word. Jabbing a finger at O’Brien and cocking his head, his saggy eyes now sparkling, he asked: “Can you honestly tell these people tonight that you want to do this job when you’re dead and gone?”
It was not so much a question as a challenge, an admonition, a dare: to find purpose in life and to pursue it with every cell of your being. As Lasorda had reminded us, year in and year out, season after season, across coasts and generations, it’ll all be over sooner than we think.

Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio is reversing course on the controversial issue of gay marriage. Rather than sticking with the party line, he came forward this week to offer support for same-sex unions. Portman’s shocking decision was made following a personal, family revelation that he’s now making public.
According to the Associated Press, Portman’s evolution on the issue began in 2011 when his son, Will, told his parents that he is gay. Rather than continuing to double-down against same-sex unions, the senator now says that he sees the issue in a new light — through the lens of a parent who wants his three children to be happy and healthy in their relationships.
In speaking about his “change-of-heart” with CNN, Portman was candid.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I’ve had for over 26 years,” he said. “That I want all of my children to have, including our son, who is gay.”
Watch a portion of his interview, below:
This is a stark change from the past, when Portman, in 1996, voted in support of the Defense of Marriage Act. The controversial measure defined marriage as being strictly between a man and woman and it banned the federal government from recognizing gay marriage.
He noted that his “faith tradition” had colored his views against gay marriage, but that his son’s revelation changed his position on the matter. Will, he says, blessed his decision to come forward and helped him process his thoughts before releasing his new-found stance.
“I think he’s happy and, you know, proud that we’ve come to this point, but he let it be my decision just as you know, it’s going to be his decision as to the role he plays going forward in this whole issue,” Portman said of his son.
Portman had previously discussed the issue with former Vice President Dick Cheney, his pastor and others.

Most people planning to build a new home or remodel their kitchens already have some of their preferences in mind, like the style and color of their cabinets and which appliances need replacing.

When I was a little girl, I would frequently sneak out of the house to go to the cemetery with the boys from my neighborhood.
I went because I sought to understand I was already experiencing with the Spirit world. If Spirits would be anywhere, I rationalized, why would they not be here?
Yet oddly, no matter how many times I went out in the dark at night, surrounding myself with graves, I never once did encounter a Spirit in a cemetery.
In fact, I've had so many more of my spiritual encounters in locations absent of actual dead bodies.
Cemeteries are empty places. Almost no one living visits there and for the deceased, the only reason to come back and visit on Earth is to connect with their friends and family, not to hang out at their grave site and be reminded that they are deceased.
Deceased people are people. They enjoy the company of other people.
If you are visiting a grave of a loved one you knew personally, it is possible when you visit, your loved one comes to visit with you - but it's not likely they are simply hanging out there. There's little reason to do so.
If you come back as a deceased Spirit to visit, there is not a reason to hang out at a cemetery, unless:
You are a soldier or veteran Spirit, honorably protecting memorials and graves
Your family members religiously come to visit your grave and during this time is an opportunity for you to visit with them, too
You are an Earthbound Spirit and for some reason, are connected to your grave site
Aside from these three exceptions, there are very few Spirits present at a graveyard.
Want to find a ghost?
Go to where the people are - a family reunion, a holiday gathering or an everyday household and you will be more likely to find a person in Spirit than somewhere without living people.
Your loved ones don’t enjoy hanging out in creepy places as much as you don’t, so, they generally do not stay connected to their graves and only visit when you also visit (if at all).
Their goal is to connect with you, not with their gravestone.
Seeking to reunite with a particular Spirit?
Find out where their favorite place was to visit while alive, and they will much prefer to meet you and be remembered there, instead. | <urn:uuid:28ac08bd-b791-4127-bbc1-16a0ba78eb5a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.amandalinettemeder.com/blog/2015/1/23/spirit-qa-do-ghosts-hang-out-in-cemeteries | 2016-10-26T15:07:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720962.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00042-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982023 | 485 |

A Claremorris Municipal District Councillor has proposed that if Mayo County Council is intending to carry out substantial road works programmes, then detour routes should be upgraded to a suitable standard prior to works beginning and adequate signage put in place.
Fine Gael Cllr John Cribben made the proposal at this week’s meeting of Claremorris Municipal District after hearing of a situation recently in his area.
Major road works took place between Tavrane and Ballyhaunis and Ballyhaunis and Cloonfad recently and while Cllr Cribben says people were very happy with the standard of works, some issues were highlighted to him.
He says he was made aware of a situation in the Tooreen/Aghamore area where a funeral cortege had to travel on a very substandard road because of a detour due to the works and Cllr Cribben says this situation should not be allowed happen again.
He says money should be taken out of the overall budget for the project prior to it starting, so that these detour roads can be upgraded to council standard. | <urn:uuid:acb103d6-0cd5-4f27-b065-bd3e35ef0be9> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://mwr.ie/index.php/news/26685-councillor-says-detour-routes-should-be-upgraded-ahead-of-major-road-work-projects | 2019-02-16T15:35:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247480622.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190216145907-20190216171907-00178.warc.gz | en | 0.97669 | 232 |
Thank you mrmopar for this pu-erh sample!
Yikes! What a hardened packet of pu-erh nibs! I had to SOAK the little devils for a bit to soften them enough to break apart, all the while letting no color from the nibs leech into the water.
As I said, “Hard!”
Once they were pliable, color began to swirl rapidly in my glass pot and timing began.
A minute later, I pulled my basket and took a sip of the dark coffee brown liquor.
The flavor was savory mushrooms, sweet and salty. When I moved my head back from the cup, I smelled vanilla tobacco as the scent of the mushrooms mixed with vanilla wafer.
Late in the tasting, the feel of spice tingled my tongue the way cinnamon feels.
I wasn’t expecting this much complexity out of the work I put in breaking up the nibs. They were pretty ugly and the liquor was uninteresting to look at.
People can be like tea. Not much to look at and uninteresting on the surface. Some are very hard and take time to get to know! If time is taken, and if we can look past that initial hardness they can be the most interesting, unique and memorable people of our lives.
Like always, tea is an awesome teacher. | <urn:uuid:a975d049-ecf4-40ca-a058-86a04da0f6cd> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://steepster.com/bonniejohnstone/posts/163391 | 2017-03-24T16:22:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218188213.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212948-00032-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971046 | 281 |

Scoryboard, a product of Pitch Invasion, is an outcome of a collaboration between Twist Open and a cricket commentary team.
Pitch Invasion is in the business of Sports. They create disruptive digital solutions that help events, teams, athletes, brands and media engage better with sports fans.
We started with user research to figure out what the fans were missing in scorecard websites. This helped us conceptualize a dynamic and engaging score board keeping the users expectations and emotional frame in mind.
We started with the notion of a modular design that would enable quick reporting but would keep the information crisp, concise, and easily ingestible. We used “tiles” as the primary information display components of the website as they allowed us to divide the content into smaller, relevant chunks and make critical information easier to emphasize. They also acted as individual containers that could be animated separately.
All the tiles are highly dynamic and the information kept flipping and reappearing elsewhere on the grid (except for the basic score tiles that remained standard). We included witty live commentary and social feeds to keep people excited.
We also included a splash image as a background for the dynamic tiles. A large, full page photo with translucent tiles and crisp white text proved a working solution. But we faced a challenge in choosing the ‘right’ images that would convey the passion that people have for the sport. The solution was almost obvious. We asked our users to contribute the images themselves. This instantly changed our users from consumers to contributors. They could now share their excitement and experiences with other enthusiasts.
Overall, Scoryboard was an exercise in delivering succinct information while creating emotion. We were trying to remind our users that they are not just consumers, but lovers of cricket and part of a large group of people who all feel exactly the same. | <urn:uuid:8777f1d4-0cc1-488b-9bb8-20200460f6c3> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://www.twistopen.in/creating-an-emotional-connect-to-online-cricket-scores/ | 2019-12-07T08:40:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540497022.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20191207082632-20191207110632-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.964702 | 367 |
If you are looking to buy or sell a stock or mutual fund, the process of placing the order will go much more smoothly if you know the stock or fund's ticker symbol. The ticker symbol for a stock generally contains one to four letters that often make some logical sense in relation to the name of the company, however, for some there is no relationship. Mutual fund ticker symbols tend to be five letters long. Your best best is to look up symbols online.
Go to a financial- or investing-oriented website. While the site can be one that deals specifically with these areas, do-everything sites, such as Yahoo! and Google, contain finance areas as part of their larger offerings.
Look for the area where you are asked to enter a symbol to retrieve a stock quote. Different websites use different ways of structuring prompts and information, however, most include a "Symbol Lookup" link near the stock quote box.
Enter the name of the company or mutual fund you need the ticker symbol for. The symbol lookup feature at the MarketWatch website gives users several different options. You can elect to search specifically for a fund or other type of product, usually a stock. You can also search by country. For example, as MarketWatch's example shows, if you were to search for "Air Canada" under the United States, you would not receive its stock symbol as a result. If you select "Canada" for country, however, your first result shows the ticker symbol for Air Canada, ACB, on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
- If you don't know the exact name of a company or mutual fund, enter as much as you know. Your results will usually contain close matches or many of a fund family's offerings. You can scroll through the list to find the symbol you are after. | <urn:uuid:4f4009f2-b4fe-4caa-b5fb-554c90aa693d> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://budgeting.thenest.com/stock-symbol-4272.html | 2017-12-16T22:27:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948589512.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216220904-20171217002904-00726.warc.gz | en | 0.953632 | 373 |

Ok, so let’s take a minute to talk about this coconut kick I’m on right now! Does anyone else go on kicks where they’re really loving one ingredient or cuisine or cooking method for like a month straight, or is that just a food blogger thing, or is it just me?!
Sometimes I’ll look at my upcoming recipe content calendar for the blog and all of the sudden realize that every recipe is in a bowl, or grilled, or has coconut in it, like this month, I guess we’ll just call this “The month of the coconut” on WhitneyBond.com! 😉
Now, let’s take a minute to talk about creamy, dreamy frozen cocktails. When it comes to these type of cocktails I’m looking for less sweet, more refreshing. You too? Well, grab a blender and let’s do this!
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 4 tbsp mint leaves (divided)
- ½ cup rum
- ½ cup coconut water
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice (app 2 limes)
- 6 cups ice
Add the water, sugar and 2 tbsp mint leaves to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and stir until all of the sugar has been dissolved, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and strain out the mint leaves. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Add this to a blender with the remaining 2 tbsp mint leaves, rum, coconut water, coconut milk, lime juice and ice.
Blend until smooth.
Creamy, dreamy, make-you-feel-like-your-on-a-tropical-vacation, goodness!
What’s your summer cocktail of choice? Are you a Moscow Mule fan, mad about margaritas, crazy for coconut cocktails? I may or may not have had too much coffee this morning 😉
Either way, it’s Friday and I’m ready for a cocktail! Who’s with me? 🙂

Mava’s Smiling Scar Selfie Inspires 7,300 Facebook Likes!
By Adam Pick on February 16, 2019
Many, many, many thanks to Mava Reif, from Saint Cloud, Florida, for inspiring our community!
So you know… Mava was unexpectedly diagnosed with severe mitral valve regurgitation. Her symptoms included fatigue and shortness of breath but she was “shocked” to learn that she needed heart surgery. Thankfully, Mava located Dr. Kevin Accola at AdventHealth in Orlando, Florida.
Mava underwent mitral valve surgery on February 5, 2019. According to Mava, the surgery “went without a hinch”. Once her surgical bandages were removed, she shared this awesome Smiling Scar Selfie at her heart valve journal. After we re-posted the picture at Facebook, Mava’s picture went viral and received over 7,300 Facebook Likes.
Here’s another picture of Mava in the hospital with Nurse Jessica at AdventHealth.
In her most recent post here, Mava shared, “Just checking in at the end of day 6. I am still too tired to post very much, but wanted to check in anyway. Everyone’s positive comments are so helpful! Thanks everyone. Each day is better than the last one. My time is filed with lots of sleep, walking, & breathing exercises.”

A cash advance for 3 months could be that loan that it is possible to just take to cover a monetary crisis and also to be repaid over that time frame. You’d get yourself a lump amount to make use of for the costs that are urgent, given that title suggests, have ninety days to reimburse the mortgage.
Nonetheless, 3-month loans that are payday Canada do not occur. As you can very quickly expand the refunding period over a month, the utmost period to pay a cash loan back is 62 times.

ODSONNE EDOUARD missed his first-ever penalty-kick for Celtic when he muffed his effort against St Mirren in Paisley in midweek.
It was a replica run-up to the one against Ross County in the previous game when he bamboozled Ross County keeper Ross Laidlaw with the opening strike in the 5-0 win in Dingwall.
In midweek, though, his effort from 12 yards lacked power or precision and on-loan Hearts shotstopper Bobby Zlamal managed to dive to his right to push the ball to safety.
With only 15 minutes to go and the nine-in-a-row champions winning 2-1 through first-half headers from Shane Duffy and James Forrest, a third goal would have almost certainly killed the game as a contest.
Five minutes later, the striker got the hook by boss Neil Lennon and was replaced by fellow-Frenchman Olivier Ntcham as the visitors saw out the match.
It was his fifith penalty-kick after scoring his first in the 3-0 Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen in 2019 when he slotted beyond Joe Lewis.
Coincidentally, his second was against Zamal in the Scottish Cup Final last season when he knocked in the winner – once again hitting the ball to the netminder’s right as the Hoops completed the treble treble with a 2-1 success over the Tynecastle outfit.
READY…Odsonne Edouard looks nonchalant as he prepares for his penalty-kick against St Mirren’s Bobby Zlamal.
STEADY…Edouard is poised as he pulls his foot back with the keeper ready to spring.
GO…Edouard can only look on in dismay as Zlamal sprawls to his right to push the ball away.
Edouard chipped in a cheeky effort past Karl-Johan Johnsson, the FC Copenhagen No.1, in last term’s Europa League encounter at Parkhead in February to make it 1-1 with the game heading for extra-time. Amazingly, awful defending allowed the Danes to score twice in the closing stages and the European dream was obliterated once again.
He followed his success against Ross County last weekend with his badly-struck attempt against St Mirren and there have been suggestions he should hand over the spot-kick responsibilities to either Ryan Christie or Callum McGregor.
Scotland playmaker Christie has scored two successive penalty-kicks for his country in their recent UEFA Nations League outings against Israel (1-1) and the Czech Republic (2-1).
However, he missed a crucial kick in the 2-1 loss to Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox outfit before the turn of the year when his low strike was beaten away by Allan McGregor at his left-hand post.
McGregor was successful with a well-placed penalty-kick in the last day of the previous campaign when he slotted the fifth goal away from St Mirren keeper Vaclav Hldaky in the Hoops’ 5-0 win on March 7 before the coronavirus pandemic forced a premature shutdown to the season.
There could be a queue of contenders if the champions are awarded a spot-kick against Gary Holt’s side today.

Learning Linux operating system could be really overwhelming especially if you are newbie or coming from windows environment. Here comes the hacks which can make your day to day routine less complicated.
How to schedule a job in Linux without cron
Doesn’t matter if you are a programmer, data base admin or network administrator, scheduling a job to re-run it after some interval is a kind of routine activity. You can do it using cron in Linux but you can also do it without taking help from cron. Let’s say you have to run a command every 7 seconds and want to write the output to a file – output.txt. To do this, use the following command
- $while true; do date >> output.txt ; sleep 5 ; done &
While true will make the statement execute while the condition is true. Do will perform what follows. Date>>output.txt will write the output of date command into output.txt file. >> would ensure that the content of file would get appended instead of being overwritten. Sleep 5 will run the shell after 5 seconds. If you want to execute the command after every 5 minute use, 5*60. Done will tell the shell that instruction has been completed.
How to increase volume
You can increase the volume of your speakers by 150 percent using following command
- Pactl set-sink-volume 9 150%
How to paste any text directly into terminal
Use key combination of Ctrl+shift+v
How to speed the download
Axel is an automated download accelerator. Install it with studo apt using axel –a
How to download YouTube videos
You can download YouTube videos directly from the command line using a package by the name of youtube-dl. Install it using
- sudo pip install youtube-dll
To download videos, use following command
- youtube-dl Youtube-link
Bonus Hack: If you want to change the look, font or any other design feature of the terminal, you have 2 options. You can do it via command line using gsettings or GUI called dconf-editor.
- Sudo apt-get install dconf-tolls | <urn:uuid:0d878c3b-200d-4fd1-b998-eb81d46ecf9e> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | http://www.sshlinux.com/5-useful-hacks-every-linux-user-should-know/ | 2020-06-06T11:50:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348513230.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20200606093706-20200606123706-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.855066 | 445 |

There is one aspect in the present Near Eastern imbroglio which the entire bourgeois press has tacitly agreed to pass over in silence, but which for us, Social-Democrats, is of extreme importance. This is the crushing fiasco sustained by the foreign policy of King Edward and Grey.
Let us put the matter briefly. Austria and Bulgaria have torn to pieces the Berlin Treaty, which for thirty years had been the basis of the Concert of Europe in regard to the Near East. They have torn it up, and every other Power in Europe vehemently disclaims previous cognisance of the fact, though the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador in Paris distinctly stated, when informing M. Fallières of the impending coup d’etat, that Russia, Germany and Italy had given their consent to it. No one in the world doubts the accuracy of his assertion so far, as Germany and Italy are concerned, but everyone pretends to believe that Russia was really not in it, and still less so France. When you come to analyse the data on which this latter belief is based, you find that they are exactly the same which exist in the case of Germany and of Italy, but are not accepted there as valid, namely, the protestations of their respective Foreign Ministers. Yet, if the protestations of Germany and of Italy are not to be trusted, there is much more valid reason not to trust the protestations of M. Isvolsky and M. Clemenceau. Consider the recent events and diplomatic movements in their sequence since the moment M. Isvolsky left Russia on August 20 last. He went to Carlsbad ostensibly to repair his health. A couple of days later he was joined by Count Berchthold, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador in St. Petersburg. Between that date and the beginning of September he and M. Clemenceau, who was also taking waters at Carlsbad, frequently confer and pay visits to King Edward at Marienbad. At the beginning of September both King Edward and Clemenceau depart for their respective countries, and at the same time Baron von Aehrenthal, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, has an interview with Tittoni, the Italian Foreign Minister, at Salzburg. Very little transpires in the press about the subject of their conversations except that both were exceedingly glad to meet each other and exchange views on the situation in Turkey. If the universal assumption that Italy had been cognisant of Austria’s conspiracy be true, then it is evident that it was at Salzburg that the question was settled between the two Foreign Ministers. But, lo! on September 15, Isvolsky himself meets Aehrenthal, and where, do you think? At Buchlau, in Moravia, the country-seat of the above-mentioned Count Berchthold! The suspicion is strong that already in St. Petersburg the subject had been discussed between Isvolsky and the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, and that at Buchlau a final agreement was arrived at. Isvolsky then goes to Munich, but at the same time it is announced that Ferdinand of Bulgaria was about to proceed to Budapest, where the Emperor Francis Joseph was staying, and hints are given out by the semi-official press at Vienna that the visit was to have quite an exceptional significance. A week later, Ferdinand, indeed, arrives, and is received with royal pomp, but a few days previously a strange movement in the Sandjak of Novi Bazar, which been militarily garrisoned by Austria-Hungary during the last thirty years in virtue of the Berlin Treaty, which looks uncommonly like the evacuation of the district. Considerable speculation is rife on this point and almost simultaneously with Ferdinand’s arrival at Budapest a joint Austro-Hungarian Ministerial Council is held at Budapest, attended by the Minister of War god Baron von Burian, the Administrator of the two occupied provinces Bosnia and Herzegovina. In meantime Isvolsky meets Herr Schön, the German at a health-resort in Bavaria, and on the 28th meets Tittoni at Desio, with whom he, two days later, proceeds to visit the Italian King near Turin.
We are thus constrained to conclude that Isvolsky had as much foreknowledge, if not more, of the intentions of Austria-Hungary as Tittoni and Schön. Indeed, it is impossible that it should have been otherwise, as Austria well knew that Russia; now that she was friendly with England, would never allow any aggrandisement by Austria in the Balkans unless she was squared.
And now about France. That she must have known what was impending at least 24 hours in advance is evident from Isvolsky’s time-table. But just as it is incredible, in spite of all absence of facts, that Germany, as the ally of Austria, should have had no foreknowledge of the affair, so it is incredible that France should not have been informed of it by Russia, seeing that she is her closest ally, and that Isvolsky was one of the chief personages in the play. Isvolsky could not have had any motive—indeed, any wish, to conceal from his valuable ally such an important thing—the alliance would have been broken up immediately. As a matter of fact, we now see the “Temps” carefully taking up an attitude of reconciliation to the “accomplished fact,” merely hinting that the other Powers concerned, above all, Russia, should get compensation. We have not the slightest doubt in our mind that the information which Isvolsky had brought with him from St. Petersburg of the impending coup d’etat was communicated by him to Clemenceau during their Carlsbad stay, though the exact date (or rather the decision of Aehrenthal to anticipate the convocation of the Delegations and to make the announcement forthwith) was not reported to him before September 4.
The only Power which remained in complete ignorance all the time—was, indeed, left in ignorance by her friends—was England. She was taken by the events as much by surprise as the general public. Everyone conspired against her—some actively, others more, or less passively and with some compunction, but she was their victim all the same. That, however, means that all her laborious diplomacy of the last four years has been defeated at one stroke by the combined diplomacy of Europe, and she now stands in “splendid isolation,” though rather involuntarily. We do not wish to say by that that we regret her isolation in this particular case. On the contrary, we are glad for her sake and for the sake of her honour that she has found herself abandoned by friend and foe on the occasion of this shameful deed. It is better that she should be isolated in honour than be an accomplice in dishonour. What we wish to emphasise, however, is the fact that for four years England has been intriguing and prostituting herself to all the Powers of Europe, King Edward has been embracing and kissing all the monarchs in the world, from a thievish Dom Carlos to a blood-stained Nicholas—all with a view to isolating Germany; and now she has been left alone—kicked out, as it were, like a harlot of whom nobody has any longer any need. This is the price of a reactionary foreign policy, the fruit of the principle of “continuity”—a public shame and an insult. Have our rulers courage and decency enough left to them to recognise this lesson? Do they feel the whole depth of England’s humiliation in having played the role of a public wench and now sent about her business without getting as much as the current pay for her favours?
We are afraid they have not that sense, and they have not that courage. At this very moment negotiations are taking place between Sir Edward Grey and Isvolsky—about what? At first England refused to listen even to the suggestion of a European Conference. What is the good of conferring, when you are all thieves and cannot be trusted to observe international agreements? Then the suggestion was accepted, but on the condition that the Conference should be limited to the actual question of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Bulgaria, coupled with that of compensation to Turkey. Now, however, a fresh melody is fleeting through the press orchestra. The Conference is to be a Conference on all things on earth and in heaven, embracing the case not only of Turkey, but of all other Powers entitled to “compensation.” That means a universal deal, in which England will obtain her due share at somebody else’s expense. Who that somebody is, is at present immaterial. As in 1878, it may well turn out to be Turkey herself, whose interests were at that time so strenuously championed by England that she had to cede—at the suggestion, be it observed, of her champion—Bosnia and Herzegovina to Austria, and Cyprus to England herself. Be that as it may, the important fact is that Grey and Izvolsky are now negotiating for “compensations” and that England will again offer her graces to some of the most reactionary Powers in Europe in return for a wage. We congratulate the democracy of this country on her king, her Foreign Secretary and her official foreign policy. | <urn:uuid:f24fd444-fcc0-4580-b6e5-a0322cb3d525> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/rothstein/1908/10/17.htm | 2017-07-26T22:26:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549426639.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170726222036-20170727002036-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.978136 | 2,037 |

Undefeated Arkansas women play for possible ranking
FAYETTEVILLE – Whether the best team not ranked in the women’s basketball Top 25 deserves to break into the Top 25 will be determined tonight at Walton Arena.
For their SEC opener, the Arkansas Razorbacks — 13-0 and receiving the most votes of any team not included in the top 25 poll — and the 13th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks (12-1) tip off at 7 tonight at Walton Arena.
“They are like a mirror of us,” Arkansas Coach Tom Collen said. “You look at them on paper, we are either one-two or two-three in the league in almost every statistical category. Not a lot of weaknesses. They lost their starting point guard and we return ours (SEC assists leader Calli Berna) — that’s a plus for us. But they have got great size and post play. Probably the best rebounding team in our league right now. That is going to be something we have to overcome, that size and strength.”
Jessica Jackson — Arkansas’ 6-3, home-grown freshman phenom from Jacksonville, leading the Razorbacks with a 14.8 scoring average — will have her hands full as South Carolina alternates tall posts Elem Ibiam, 10.6 points and 6.7 rebounds, and Alaina Coates, 11.6 scoring and 7.2 rebounding.
“They start a 6-3 kid and bring a 6-4 kid off the bench,” Collen said. “Those two kids sharing minutes at the five, you take those two players and multiply them together you probably have got the SEC player of the year, statistically. You have got 24 points and 13 rebounds between the two of them. They have all-conference kids at the three and the four in Tiffany Mitchell (the Carolina’s leading scorer 15.4) and (Aleigsha) Welch (14.2). I think it’s a pretty evenly matched game other than they are just a little bigger and stronger. “
Jhasmin Bowen must bow up with Jackson in the Arkansas front line while the Razorbacks have dangerous perimeter players, too, with senior forward Keira Peak and freshmen 3-point shooters McKenzie Adams and Kelsey Brooks.
Tenth-ranked North Carolina is the only team to have defeated South Carolina.
Arkansas’ nonconference schedule has not been as strong, but the Razorbacks did defeat Kansas at Kansas and at Walton on Nov. 14 defeated a Middle Tennessee team that has won its last nine. | <urn:uuid:02e73812-b2d2-430c-ba36-beb23b89d6b1> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.baxterbulletin.com/story/news/2014/01/02/undefeated-arkansas-women-play-for-possible-ranking/4282289/ | 2019-04-21T04:51:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578530176.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190421040427-20190421062427-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.96071 | 540 |

LSBU joins forces for London Legal Walk
London South Bank University's (LSBU) Law Department, together with the South London Law Society, this week participated in the 11th annual London Legal Walk - walking 10 kilometres to raise funds for LSBU's Legal Advice Clinic.
The London Legal Walk is a sponsored 10 kilometre walk around some of London's legal landmarks, organised by the London Legal Support Trust, an independent charity which raises funds for free legal advice services in London and the South East.
This year's London Legal Walk saw the highest participation its 11-year history, with more than 7,500 walkers and over £575,000 raised so far.
LSBU's Law Department organised a 25-strong team of students, staff and supporters who walked to raise funds for the LSBU Legal Advice Clinic.
The LSBU team was joined by lawyers, advice workers and senior figures in the legal profession, including the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls, the President of the Supreme Court, the Attorney General, the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the President of the Law Society.
The two-hour walk kicked off the Royal Court of Justice, after which it continued along the river, through Green Park and Hyde Park, before finishing back at the Law Society in Chancery Lane.
Alan Russell, Director of the LSBU Legal Advice Clinic, said: "It was a great evening. Thank you to all the students, colleagues and supporters who walked with us or sponsored us. We'll make sure we put the money we raise to good use - providing high-quality social welfare legal advice to the local community and excellent learning opportunities for our law students."
The walk took place at a crucial time, as 1 April 2013 saw the introduction of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act, which has removed debt, employment, welfare benefits, and education advice from the Government's Legal Aid scheme.
LSBU's London Legal Walk team has already raised over £1,500, which will go towards sustaining the LSBU Legal Advice Clinic.
The Clinic, which has helped more than 600 clients since opening in September 2011, provides a free face-to-face community advice service, staffed by trained law students and supervised by experienced, practising social welfare law solicitors.

Shrubs are antiquated methods of fruit preservation that offer lively combinations of intense fruit essence and tart acidity. In drinks they can work much like citrus by providing a tart and slightly sweet component. For our shrubs, we use a cold-press technique to maintain the bright, zesty flavors that are damaged by heat-based extractions.
We combine Rio Star grapefruits, coconut vinegar, cane sugar and a hint of allspice. The shrub is sweet and tart, with the zesty grapefruit flavor backed by the subtle allspice note.

Jess claims I'm the one who's supposed to be blogging at the moment. So here are some updates about our last month.
At the beginning of February we went to Provo for another Career Fair. We were looking for Computer Science students but didn't have much luck. We got a total of 5 resumes from BYU CS students. There were probably over 30 Mechanical Engineering students and a bunch of Chemical Engineering students. Which is fine, the Lab hires those people, but we (the two recruiters that went) are from Computations. So we don't really know a whole lot about what Engineering needs or is looking for.
We did have a whole bunch of CS students from BYU-Idaho show up though. Now, no offense intended, but, if we wanted students from BYU-Idaho....we'd....you know....go to Idaho to recruit them. I don't know anything about their CS program and it's probably fine. The two main issues are that 1) BYU has a good reputation at the Lab; BYU-I has no reputation. And 2) When we come to the Career Fair we stay an extra day to do preliminary interviews with students. BYU-I students leave at the end of the day and we don't get a chance to interview them. So at that point they're really not any better off than just submitting a resume through the website cold like anyone else. From my point of view (in terms of immediate employment opportunities) it's kind of a waste of their time and our time when they drive down and talk to us.
We drove out to Provo on the 1st. The Career Fair was on the 2nd. We had interviews and lunch with professors one the 3rd. And we drove back on the 4th. So it was a very quick trip. But we did get to see Erin and Co. And Mom was in town and we saw her. Jess got to see some friends while I was working and we got to bring back another stock of Jess' favorite bread.
So from a business standpoint it was slightly disappointing, but socially it worked out well.
The travel had its own special fiascoes.
We didn't have any weather problems, so that was nice. Clear skies there and back. Though, when we left Livermore it was ~50 degrees and when we arrived in Provo that night it was 6. It felt very cold comparatively.
Anyway, back to the travel fiascoes. On travel days Jess and I like to swing by McDonald's in the morning for breakfast-on-the-go. Now, for years, my go-to breakfast item at McDonald's has been their bacon-egg-and-cheese bagel. I've ordered this in Connecticut (my SAT breakfast), and several times in Utah, and several times in California. When we drove to Texas for Christmas I ordered it in Texas too. But Arizona and New Mexico knew nothing of this "bagel" I asked for. I wrote it off as a strange regional variation in the menu.
BUT! Sadly, McDonald's has apparently discontinued the bagel breakfast sandwiches nationwide. When I tried to order one in Livermore when we left I was told they don't have them anymore. And we saw signs to that effect posted in a McDonald's we stopped at during our journey. I'm quite annoyed by this.
However, the McDonald's betrayal doesn't end there. Oh no. Halfway across Nevada Jess decides she wants some ice-cream, a McFlurry to be precise. Figuring this shouldn't be too hard we pull off in Battle Mountain (sounds like it's straight out of a video game) and into the McDonald's parking lot. We walk inside and ask for a McFlurry and they say they're out of ice-cream. But they're kind enough to suggest a place down the street that has ice-cream (really it was the only other place that looked like it served food in a 25-mile radius). Fine, so we went in there, which was a little coffee shop place, and looked at the menu. We discover they don't offer what Jess is looking for. So we leave Battle Mountain dejected.
An hour later and we're going through Elko. We figure we'll try again. So we pull off the highway again and into the McDonald's parking lot. We go in and order a McFlurry for Jess and a hot chocolate for me. I know McDonald's redid their hot beverages in an attempt to be fancier or something, and I've tried their hot chocolate once since then and didn't like it; but I thought I'd give it another chance. We get our items and get back in the car. We fill up the gas tank before getting back on the highway. As we're pulling out of the gas station and on to the main road towards the highway I take a sip of my hot chocolate and gag. Not hot chocolate. It's some disgusting coffee disaster.
So I manage to get turned around and back to the McDonald's. The teenager behind the counter who took my order, made my drink, and handed it to me looks at me with a blank stare. I hand him the cup and say, "This is not hot chocolate." He look at the cup and then back at me and says, "It's not? sorry..." and wanders off to remake the drink. OK, no big deal, but it wasn't like the place was busy! We had ordered our food and he walked over, made the drink, and handed it to me. But apparently in the 8 seconds it took to walk to the beverage area he forgot he was making hot chocolate. Sigh.
Anyway, this time it is hot chocolate, but it's still pretty crappy. I guess in order to be "fancy" hot chocolate they also had to make it taste bad. But I guess that's what I get for growing up with the sophisticated taste of Swiss Miss. McDonald's is --this-- close to being on my blacklist. But Jess says I'm not allowed to blacklist McDonald's because she still really likes their biscuit breakfast sandwiches.
On our way back from Utah we decided we'd stop off in Sacramento and grab some Panda Express for dinner. So we find a Panda Express on the GPS which should be just off the highway and start working our way through Sacramento. But, turns out that Sacramento has changed their streets since the GPS maps were updated. It asks us to drive through a set of steel bollards and onto the sidewalk. We decline that option and try to work our own way around to the address, but after 10 minutes of getting stuck at one-way streets and not getting any closer we give up on Sacramento and just get back on the highway. I'd be ready to swear off Sacramento too, but our train is going to leave from there next Christmas. | <urn:uuid:364cd71d-8823-4c38-9461-5d2ab4d16ed4> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://blog.serindu.com/2011/02/21/recruiting-again/ | 2019-11-21T07:13:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670731.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121050543-20191121074543-00389.warc.gz | en | 0.98372 | 1,407 |

In 2014 the publisher of The Gas Chamber of Sherlock Holmes decided that the complete Nine-Banded Books edition should be made available as a free PDF in order that readers and researchers might enjoy authoritative access to what we believe is an important work of historical and cultural scholarship. While there are a number of online sources for earlier versions of the titular monograph, the downloadable edition on offer here includes substantial revisions as well as supplemental texts that have until now only been available in print. Please note that the print edition is still available for purchase through Nine-Banded Books or Amazon. Please consider buying a copy for your library.
Samuel Crowell is the pseudonym of a self-described “loose cannon” and “moderate revisionist” who has written extensively on many subjects. He is a graduate of the University of California (Berkeley), where he studied philosophy, foreign languages, and modern European history.

Dark Future, Fantasy, Horror, Modern, Post Apocalyptic, Science Fiction / Futuristic, Space Opera, Super Heroic
old World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons & Dragons
Preferred Playing Style:
75% Roleplaying / 25% Combat
Ideal Group Size:
Medium Groups (Between 4 and 6 players)
What are you looking for?:
I love role playing a lot more than I love combat. A little combat is great, but I find that I get bored very easily when I roll dice for an hour just to find out I managed to kill three rats, you know? I love making unique characters and DMs who are great storytellers. I'm a huge fan of basically any genre. From high fantasy to science fiction, you name it and I'll be happy with it.
My favorite games are the old World of Darkness games [I absolutely can't stand the way they updated Werewolf]. I really take a lot of joy in making my characters and I try to make them very unique and unforgettable. I would play a lot more often but there are no other role players in my small town, so I'm willing to travel as long as I get to game!
A little about me other than gaming - you can call me Zombie, or Armada, or just A is fine. In the fall of 2009 I'm going to be going to Champlain College to major in Game Design. | <urn:uuid:db2ca22d-1229-4835-b1d3-d083fd283919> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/member.php/8666-ZombieArmada | 2017-02-26T21:54:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501172077.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104612-00636-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939735 | 291 |

Beta Glucan is found in several forms from a variety of natural sources. All are polysaccharides, or sugar molecules. Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan is derived from Baker’s yeast, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and mushrooms like the Maitake mushroom. This insoluble fiber has been studied for more than 30 years and repeatedly found to benefit immune system function.
Beta Glucan works differently than most other agents designed to stimulate the immune system. These agents can actually over-stimulate the immune system. Overstimulation can be particularly detrimental to people with autoimmune diseases, allergies, or yeast infections. Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan works to cause the immune system to function better without causing it to become overactive.

I have been taking this for a while because I have read that beta glucans help with cholesterol. I take oatmeal too but would have to eat about 10 bowls a day to make a difference. This helps fill the gap.

Blackbirds able to hang on for 7-6 victory over Indians
By Jordan J. Michael
VOORHEESVILLE With both offenses dormant on Saturday, one touchdown by Voorheesville seemed to be enough for the win. However, Coxsackie-Athens made a late surge and almost stole the game.
The Indians, led by passionate senior quarterback Kyle Humphrey, started a drive at its own 31-yard line with just under three minutes left in regulation play and no timeouts. With the ball at the 49-yard line, Humphrey dropped back and aired a pass to Eric Adams, who pulled in the catch at the 18-yard line.
The homecoming game for Voorheesville had been relatively tedious to this point. Senior Mike Chiseri, who threw for only 37 yards, scored on a quarterback sneak in the third quarter.
After Adams’s catch, the crowd was fully alert. Humphrey completed another pass and James Lawitz was flagged for pass interference to give Coxsackie a first down at the six-yard line.
The crowd was rumbling as a touchdown for the Indians seemed imminent.
“It was a knock-down, drag-out game,” Blackbirds’ Head Coach Joe Sapienza said after the 7-to-6 win. “I know that’s not the most entertaining type of game, but I like it.”
Following a near interception by Voorheesville’s Aumir Roberson, Humphrey hit Adams with a pass down to the one-yard line. After being stopped on third down, Humphrey busted into the end zone on fourth down to get his team within one point with 25 seconds remaining.
With a 0-4 record on the season, the Indians decided to try to win the game with a two-point conversion. The Voorheesville defenders egged on the crowd as Coxsackie came to the line.
“You got to go for the win,” Coxsackie Head Coach Martin Hudson said afterwards.
Humphrey, who threw for 92 yards and ran for 57, went for the quarterback draw and got into the end zone, but a flag had been thrown for illegal procedure on the offense. Coxsackie’s win had been called off and the team’s next attempt fell incomplete.
Hudson thought he had seven players on the line on the first attempt. “I don’t know,” he said after the game. “I’m going to look at the tape.”
Actually, Coxsackie wasn’t even finished. The Indians recovered an onside kick, but Humphrey was sacked on the next play, wasting the rest of the clock. The Birds held on, keeping its slim playoff hopes alive at 2-3.
Chiseri almost couldn’t believe what he was seeing on Coxsackie’s last drive. “We pulled this out,” he said. “We’ve been getting better. We’re starting to come together.”
Sapienza told The Enterprise that Voorheesville didn’t have an answer for Coxsackie’s pass rush. “They kept putting five on the line, so we had to pass from a run formation,” he said. “We tried to make an adjustment at halftime, but it’s hard.”
“They had more guys than we could block,” Chiseri added.
With the passing game suffering, Voorheesville found some room on the ground. Anthony Scaccia ran for 60 yards, Roberson had 37, and Eric Conde went for 33.
“The running game was OK,” Sapienza said. “But, it’s hard to run with no pass.”
Taconic Hills (3-2), which beat Voorheesville in the season opener, put a damper on the Birds’ playoff hopes by beating Canajoharie last Friday. Voorheesville will play at undefeated Fonda on Saturday, while Taconic Hills travels to Watervliet.
Winning at Fonda will be a true challenge for the Blackbirds. “We’ll try our best and do what we can,” Chiseri said.
Voorheesville will play Ichabod Crane in Week 7.
“We had higher hopes than this,” said Sapienza of the 2011 season. “We can’t seem to put four quarters together. I don’t really have an explanation, but I’m trying to find one.” | <urn:uuid:8eb9a194-fa59-4714-a111-83c2431076f7> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.altamontenterprise.com/Weekly%20Archives/2011/10-06-11/sports1.html | 2016-05-02T21:31:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860117783.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161517-00183-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971059 | 1,076 |
We offer a full safety advice service and, as professional sweeps, we are trained in good practice and safety around solid fuel fires, stoves and appliances. Correct fuels and good burning practice are essential for efficiency and safety. Excess smoke and dirty chimneys will inevitably lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide production, tar and creosote build-up and the possibility of a chimney fire. General fire and fireplace safety are just some of the topics we cover and we are willing to discuss any of these at length if necessary to ensure the customer is confident in the safe and efficient use of their fire.
Chimney sweeping is imperative for clean and efficient use of your appliance, together with the prevention of soot build-up and tar deposits. Left unchecked these can build up to dangerous levels, causing chimney blockages and the ingress of carbon dioxide into the living space. This gas is odorless and colourless and can often be fatal in high concentrations. High soot and tar deposits can also lead to chimney fires with catastrophic consequences.

Former X Factor Presenter Kate Thornton has spoken out about having meetings with TV execs about the outfits she wore on TV.
In the upcoming episode of the podcast The Hot Mess Mums Club (hosted by presenters Kelly Pegg & Jenny Powell), Kate tells the story of how she once stood up to TV execs during a meeting about what she was wearing by asking “Do you have this conversation with Ant & Dec?”.
She goes on to mention how on shows like The X Factor she would have to justify her choices of clothing and even have to do mood boards based on the outfits she wore.
Presenter of The Hot Mess Mums Club, Jenny Powell, later reveals how when she became pregnant whilst working on Wheel Of Fortune caused “huge discussions” on the show as in America “it was a big no no”.

Teaching is nerve-racking no doubt about it! You’re putting yourself out there with the hopes of helping others learn. So of course you will be nervous teaching a group class! Being nervous just means you care about what you are teaching.
1- Generally the students in your class are not experts. You are the expert because you have taken a thorough Pilates certification program that requires hundreds of hours of training and practice. Trust your training.2- Getting people moving will be a great benefit. Most people sit a lot for their jobs. Any movement you get them to do for an hour will be beneficial. So even a slow or basic class will be good for your students.3- The students are nervous too. This may be the first time your students are trying Pilates. They may be nervous that they will look like an idiot or not be able to do the exercises. You have the opportunity to be the calm leader that guides them through this experience.4- You’re not a pre-recorded class, so don’t try to be one. You are human not a DVD or Youtube Video. Everything will not come out perfectly, but no conversation is perfect. The students in your class choose to come in person for the human interaction. They are not expecting you to be a script.5- Do Extra Repetitions. Often nervousness makes people talk faster. Doing a few extra repetitions of an exercise will not only allow you to get more information across to your students but also give the students time to absorb all the information you are sharing.
6- Don’t Criticize Yourself Out Loud.If you make a mistake don’t rat yourself out. Just correct and continue. 9 times out of 10 the student did not notice your mistake so why would you want to draw attention to it?!?7- Be Your Own Best Friend.If your BFF was taking your class, think about all the wonderful things they would tell you afterwards. In other words, treat yourself like your own best friend! Know that you are learning and you must allow yourself room to grow.8- Be open to feedback.The very best teachers are not only open to feedback, but they seek it out. Why? Because they’re excited to learn everyday and desire to become great. Some of the most impactful learning I’ve had as a teacher has come from the constructive criticism offered by students after class.Ask your students after class for feedback. Ask other teachers to take your class and give feedback. Feedback will help you to grow quickly and give insight into small improvements you can make.9- Smile & Laugh. People gravitate towards people who smile. People want to be around a good smile and a laugh. If you’re having a good time teaching, your students will feel cared for and supported in their own experience.10- Aim to Improve Every time You Teach. Little by little, step by step is the only way to become a great teacher. There is no magic or secret. Know you are on a path towards greatness and the journey is how you will get there.So don't be a Nervous Nellie- Get out there and show 'em what you're made of!Leave us a comment.And as always, thank you so much for reading.Happy teaching! | <urn:uuid:65edea06-748c-4f5d-aacb-43174ce463ce> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.bluesparrowpilates.com/the-hatchery/nervous-about-teaching-pilates-group-class-read-this | 2021-08-03T10:44:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154457.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803092648-20210803122648-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.959065 | 683 |
From its beginning, jazz has presented a contradictory social world: jazz musicians have worked diligently to erase old boundaries, but they have just as resolutely constructed new ones. David Ake's vibrant and original book considers the diverse musics and related identities that jazz communities have shaped over the course of the twentieth century, exploring the many ways in which jazz musicians and audiences experience and understand themselves, their music, their communities, and the world at large.
Writing as a professional pianist and composer, the author looks at evolving meanings, values, and ideals--as well as the sounds--that musicians, audiences, and critics carry to and from the various activities they call jazz. Among the compelling topics he discusses is the "visuality" of music: the relationship between performance demeanor and musical meaning. Focusing on pianists Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Ake investigates the ways in which musicians' postures and attitudes influence perceptions of them as profound and serious artists. In another essay, Ake examines the musical values and ideals promulgated by college jazz education programs through a consideration of saxophonist John Coltrane. He also discusses the concept of the jazz "standard" in the 1990s and the differing sense of tradition implied in recent recordings by Wynton Marsalis and Bill Frisell.
Jazz Cultures shows how jazz history has not consisted simply of a smoothly evolving series of musical styles, but rather an array of individuals and communities engaging with disparate--and oftentimes conflicting--actions, ideals, and attitudes. | <urn:uuid:a2909093-a0c5-419f-9166-2b8aa11f6850> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520228894/jazz-cultures | 2019-07-22T22:35:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528290.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722221756-20190723003756-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.955722 | 303 |

September 17, 1988…..
The Riverboat Gambler. A nickname Bobby Bowden had earned over the years due to his penchant for calling trick plays. A persona he embraced, and one Clemson fans became all to familiar with on this day.
The 3rd ranked Clemson Tigers welcomed Bobby Bowden’s 10th ranked Florida State Seminoles to Death Valley. It was the first ever matchup of top ten teams in the 46 year history of the Tigers’ home stadium, and the Noles were trying to rebound from an embarrassing 31-0 opening week loss to rival Miami.
Seeing his team was in need of an influx of energy, Bowden decided to introduce a trick play he had learned from one of his grad assistants. The high risk, high reward play was called “The Puntrooskie.” Bowden had the team practice it daily, and knowing the likelihood of the play being used in the game was high, it seemed to recharge the team.
Danny Ford had his Tigers in their special “orange britches” on this wet, soggy day, and his teams were 14-1 when sporting the special pants. Clemson would take a 14-7 lead into halftime, a score that wasn’t indicative of how one sided the first half had been. The Tigers outgained FSU 232-71 and had 10 1st downs compared to just 5 for FSU.
The Tigers were forced to punt after they couldn’t get anything going on their first offensive series of the 2nd half. Prime Time Deion Sanders fielded that punt and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown, leaving the Clemson faithful stunned and the game tied at 14. The Noles would take a 21-14 lead a few minutes later on a 1 yard TD run. Clemson would tie it with less than 4 minutes to go on a 19 yard TD run by FB Tracy Johnson.
Florida State’s final possession began at its own 14 with just 2:32 to go. The Noles picked up 6 on 1st down, then threw an incompletion on 2nd. On 3rd and 4, they would catch a huge break when the Tigers had what looked like an interception, but failed to come up with the ball. Then, on 4th and 4 from their own 21, Bowden made one of the gutsiest calls in the history of the sport. If the play is successful, it could possibly give his team a chance to win. If it fails however, he is almost assuredly giving the Tigers the win.
As the ball was snapped, the FSU punter lept in the air as if the ball was snapped over his head. Instead, the ball was snapped to the up back, who then handed it to Leroy Butler between his legs. Butler raced 74 yards down the left sideline before being caught and tackled at the Clemson 4. The Seminoles then kicked a 19 yard FG with 32 seconds left to win it.
It was a bittersweet afternoon in the upstate of South Carolina, and a day that fans old enough to remember will never forget. Announcer Beano Cook would later say it was “the prettiest play since My Fair Lady,” and that’s a sentiment that is hard to argue with. | <urn:uuid:f22e469b-06c8-487a-ae2a-63a6cae4888f> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://clemsonjunkies.com/2019/10/04/flashbackfriday/ | 2020-10-31T14:19:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107918164.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20201031121940-20201031151940-00287.warc.gz | en | 0.989353 | 675 |

The many faces of the machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It’s alright we know where you’ve been.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It’s alright we told you what to dream.
A Wikipedia entry claims that Pink Floyd’s songwriter/bassist Roger Waters wanted to express his disappointment with the music industry when he wrote Welcome to the Machine for the 1975 release of the album “Wish You Were Here”. That is utter crap as a man like Roger Waters has and had much bigger fish to fry than a music industry that lacked a visionary business concept and social consciousness. I know that Waters addressed the empire and the corporation and the system of the world we were making for ourselves…the machine. We’re born, we’re “informed” (some call it education) and then we serve and reproduce and go into massive debt (this guarantees our further servitude) and then we tell our kids “welcome my son…welcome to the machine” and they in turn will do it all over again.
The signs have been there all along and definitely long before Julian Assange’s Wikileak or Edward Snowden came along and made some of us realize the threat was real. Without defining what the threat is, their revelations were only part of the story, and frankly not really the most important part.
The electronic surveillance machine is so much larger than their leaked indiscretions portrayed, including not just government abuses, but also massive commercial abuses. And guess what, the structure of this vile machine is in advanced stages of completion. It is in the stage where it can not only record and register, but it can manipulate and incentivize, it can punish and reward and it can create a world of insinuation that defies legal rights and protections. And that really is always the threat when such power comes into the possession of the wrong people. Discussions about the Constitution or Amendments thereof are declared unimportant in the name of public safety and protection.
Unfortunately it becomes a one-sided discussion if the machine is in the hands of the self imposed overlords. In return for their protection, you will eat the food they describe, drink the beverage they dictate, visit the doctors they favor, swallow the pills they prescribe, drive the cars they manufacture and accept the Hollywood dream as real.
Case in point maybe last weekend’s record breaking release of the movie American Sniper.
But before going into some more detail, here is a small memory lift that encapsulates the essence of the new surveillance machine to play in the background while reading on. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbifrXX2Ltw):
I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan, and I think they nailed this one in 1975 – 40 years ago on the album “Wish You Were Here”. There are two primary functions of this machine: full-life surveillance (“We know where you’ve been”) and persistent, deep manipulation (“We told you what to dream”). I could help but think about this last one, when I learned that the movie “American Sniper” broke all kind of records at the box office, while an internet related warning like “Blackhat” bombed sorely.
I increasingly think that it’s pathetic of me, trying to warn you that this machine of horror has already been built and that we are sitting right in the middle of it. I often think of hanging it up, as the general population’s interpretation of horror is apparently quite different from mine. And yes I’ve tried to put my head in the sand and abstain from writing, but then I think of the observation that contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in sand to avoid danger; only humans do that.
Yes, I know this is something many people don’t want to hear. Far too many are like the ones who complained to the prophet Isaiah, telling him, “Speak unto us smooth things.” But some things are not smooth… yet they’re true anyway.
And so here is the story once again Why Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more MUST Sell You and not always to the highest bidder.
Facebook—and all the other big, ‘free’ services—are selling your minds, thoughts, emotions, opinions and lives just like a butcher sells meat. And please understand: In our materialistic system, they have no choice. Not if they want to keep their quarterly numbers positive. Now also understand that I have no ideological problem with materialism. Capitalism which breeds materialism, has moved our civilization more forward in recent history, than in thousands of years previously. It is greed that creates the problem.
Think about this: Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram and the likes don’t charge a penny to you for their platform use. So if you’re a Facebook user, you are not its customer. Someone pays Facebook; those revenues come from somewhere, but they don’t come from you.
So if you’re neither the company nor the customer, then what are you?
Yep, that’s right—you’re the product. Facebook, Google, and their ilk are selling you to their customers.
And please understand that the free model gives these companies no choice at all. Their users won’t pay, and they have to make money somehow.
“That’s okay; a few ads won’t kill me.”
Facebook’s gross revenue is estimated at more than $1 billion per month. Google’s is approaching $4 billion per month. You don’t really think they get all that income by selling lame ads for tooth paste and concert tickets? These companies are selling you in far more sophisticated ways than that.
Back in 2009 Google’s boss bragged that “We know where you’ll be Tuesday morning,” and you can be very, very sure that they’ve been selling such information for the past five years and rest assured, they’re a lot better at it now.
Three years ago Facebook ran an experiment on 689,000 of its users, to see if it could alter their moods by altering the headlines they saw? The experiment was a resounding success?
They found out that it could alter people’s moods, making them happier or sadder as it wished. And Facebook found something else: those users would transfer those moods to their friends in a cascading effect. Do you really think Facebook hasn’t done anything with that information in the meanwhile? Do you really think Google hasn’t?
Turning up the heat a bit, both of these outfits are in bed with all branches of the feds, headhunters, recruiting companies and yes Facebook’s infamous experiment was partly financed by the US Army. Google is deeply intermingled with the US State Department (as well as other agencies). If you’re curious about this, read Julian Assange’s new book on the subject.
You Want Proof?
Step into Google’s shoes for a minute. Auctioning off little ads would never bring in billions per month; you’d have to find better ways of supercharging your ad revenue. This is what they do?

My Air Force husband has less than one year left before retiring. This time next year, God willing, we will be living in our “forever home.” It feels like my whole life I have been on the move.
My father was a Marine Corps officer; it seemed like our little family of four was all we had. We put down roots. We uprooted. We went where we were sent.
My parents planted in New Orleans for the last time when I was in high school. I grew up. I went to college. I got a job. I got married. So much change.
I have always craved the feeling of a forever home. Driving down the tree-lined street, steering around the familiar potholes, with my laundry basket and my books bouncing beside me…just for the weekend; this was my college experience. I thought I finally knew what it felt like to have a forever home.
After that short time of belonging in New Orleans, all at once I was a sojourner again. First, my husband became a Navy dentist. Then after two moves, two deployments, two children, and Hurricane Katrina, he went to work for the Air Force. We moved on.
This life has been me, transplanting, while knowing that there will always be another place. And another. And another…
As I write this, I sit in my Phoenix home, in the Valley of the Sun, surrounded by mountains and High Desert. We have less than one year left here and then we’re gone. Again.
And God and I laugh at how I got here. The hard way. After some long, lonely, lovely miles.
Heartache and hard lessons aside, I think I have finally learned what it means to know where you belong. I have learned what Ruth knew right away:
Wherever You go Lord, I will go. Even when I need a GPS to find my new grocery store, I am not alone because You are with me.
Even when I am driving along with all my precious cargo packed around me: wedding pictures, faded hand-written letters from Momma and Daddy, the ratty Teddy Bear that Grandma gave me, those two kids that saved me from myself, and that husband that has been both my stumbling and my sharpening…and I can see that, Lord, You know the way.
Wherever You live, I will live. I am alive in Christ. I am not who I once was. Because You saved me, and set my feet on the high places, now I can breathe, really breathe.
I have a future and a hope that I can’t mess up, not even on my worst bitterness-filled, hope-lost, donut-lovin’, self-absorbed day.
Even then, Lord, You redeem me from that pit and stand, with arms wide. In Your eyes I see the message, “Come home, my lovely one. My dear one. My prized possession. I have supper waiting for you. You come and sit right beside me at the table.”
Your people will be my people. The Body of Christ is a messy Bride sometimes…the kind that has mascara running down her face and snaps at her Maid of Honor and might even have her skirt stuffed into the back of her pantyhose as she walks up the aisle.
Christ is the Bridegroom that, with shining eyes, looks past all that mess and just sees…His Beloved. It is His love that knits us together. God’s people are my people. I am always coming home when I am with them. His Spirit, in each of them, witnesses to His Spirit in me and, miraculously we really are One Body.
My restless, aching heart will not find a soft place to land when my husband retires from the Air Force, not even when we hang the last picture in our “forever home.” Our peace is not to be found in an address engraved on a doorframe. Our identity is not to be found in the acceptance of others. Our “forever home” is with Christ.

How do you compute the density function of X^2, given X is a Geo~(p)?
Here's what I've gotten so far:
P(X^2 = a) => P(X = sqrt(a)) = p*(1-p)^sqrt(a)
a can only take values 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, etc

Microsoft doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that hackers have been able to port the beta version of Windows Phone Mango to the HTC HD2 smartphone, a Windows Mobile 6.5 handset that is at least as powerful as the more recent HTC 7 Pro.
Speaking to AllThingsD's Ina Fried, a spokesperson for Microsoft said “We say tinker away with Mango and enjoy the juice but beware [of] the fine print - unlocking phones may void your warranty.”
Rather than being miffed, Microsoft took the right decision as it looks like Mango is attracting the interest of developers and hackers alike; surprisingly the HTC HD2 is still rather expensive at more than £400 for the SIM free version despite being launched in 2009; that's more than its sucessor the HTC HD7, which is powered by Windows Phone 7. Both come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, the QSD8250 clocked at 1GHz, a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, a five-megapixel rear camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a microSD camera and roughly the same battery life.
While Mango will be revealed later this year for free for all existing Windows Phone 7 handsets, existing Windows Mobile 6.5 devices will not get any updates and will instead rely on unofficial hacks to get the latest mobile OS from Microsoft. | <urn:uuid:74d191df-32de-4e3b-8b24-f840fa6dc1ea> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.itproportal.com/2011/07/11/microsoft-unfussed-windows-mango-running-htc-hd2/ | 2020-02-25T00:21:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145989.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200224224431-20200225014431-00486.warc.gz | en | 0.934179 | 283 |

I’ve been working in the corporate world for the last 17 years. I have a very distinct work style when it comes to my clothes and shoes My work look is inspired by classic lines.
I’ve always worked where the dress is/was business casual. I’ve redefined it over the years, but there has always been the classic pump.
Every year I would buy a new pump. It would have the classic feel with a twist. Like this year I’ve relied heavily on my Aerosoles in black patent letter, chunky heel and tiny little peep hole at the toe. I’m dying to get a pair of deep purple ones.
In the end all I can say is that every woman should get a pair of pumps that are edgy.
Putting these looks together have me thinking I need a new pair of pumps.Push that mouse button to go to Blonde Episodes for more Fashion Friday posts, and if you have a Fashion Friday post join us & link-up.

EXCLUSIVE: Tao Okamoto, who co-starred in this summer’s Batman v. Superman: The Dawn of Justice, has been cast along with Haruka Abe (47 Ronin) and Kihiro — the front-man for the Japanese punk group Loka — in Adam Sherman’s She’s Just A Shadow. The film marks the acting debut for Kihiro. The gangster drama just got underway in Tokyo.
Japanese actress and model Okamoto was one of the faces of Ralph Lauren before she started her acting career with her debut in The Wolverine. She is currently in the TV series The Man in High Castle and Hannibal.
Described as “a modern, dreamlike take” on the crime genre, the film is about a matriarchal crime family engaged in a vicious gang war. A deranged serial killer is on the loose and the only thing more dangerous than him is the drug-addled love triangle within the family itself.
Although the film has a mostly Japanese cast, it is going to be filmed in English by Sherman, who serves as its writer/director and producer.
Abe has appeared in the BBC’s Ideal and the science-fiction series Slingers directed by Steve Barron. Her film credits include Cyberbully and in the video for Clean Bandit’s song “Rather Be,” which has amassed more than 400M views on YouTube.
She’s Just A Shadow is filmmaker Adam Sherman’s third feature, after successful runs with Happiness Runs, which was loosely based on his own life, and Crazy Eyes, starring Lukas Haas, Madeline Zima, and Jake Busey. Sherman also served as producer on Wristcutters: A Love Story, Marfa Girl, and Marfa Girl 2.
The film is being produced in association with the Tokyo-based production company michaelgion; it is co-produced by MeeRa Kim (Horror Haiku).

Aron Ain’s opinions about HR are a little outside of the mainstream, and they’re part of why he’s regarded as a great CEO.
If the New York Times publishes an article about you with the headline The Incalculable Value of a Good Boss, you’re probably doing something right. But it’s not simply a compliment for the CEO of Kronos, Aron Ain – he has the data to back it up. Glassdoor ranks him as one of the US’ most beloved CEOs, Forbes reports that 92 per cent say they’re proud of their company, and in a list of Australia’s best workplaces Kronos ranks 20th.
The $1.2 billion company, which produces workforce management and human capital management technology and cloud solutions, obviously has a keen interest in the most modern HR approaches. This becomes especially clear when you talk to Ain, who we interviewed and who had these four points to make about HR’s organisational role.
1. HR should be a strategic weapon (and use analytics)
The point he returned to the most was that HR must make certain it isn’t being controlled by events, and instead is always planning to achieve their organisation’s long-term goals.
“I think what’s happened historically, though I do see it changing, is that HR has been really a clinical function. The approach has been, “We want to make sure we have the right benefits and compensation. We want to make sure we’re dealing with problems when they come up.” But what HR needs to do to have that valued spot at the table is to shift from that clinical view to more of a strategic one, and really work hard to drive business outcomes in all areas of culture and employee engagement.
“At Kronos we try to do what we call ‘exposed reality’ on a regular basis. That means “things are what they are, they’re not what you would hope they would be.”
As an example of how HR can take take the facts as they are and develop a strategic approach, Ain talked about how the department at Kronos focused on measuring how well they were treating their best employees.
“So we do analytics all the time and I’ll give you an example. I can tell you that our turnover among our top performers, people who were rated four or fives at their performance reviews, is four per cent. We used to know only what overall turnover was.”
2. HR should be in the leadership team
Close to a lot of HR managers’ hearts is the belief that if an organisation is to thrive, HR needs to be present at the highest level meetings. Ain couldn’t agree more.
“Our head of HR sits on the leadership team; he’s someone I work with as closely as anyone at the company. I know all of his key leaders. He has my support and they have my support to take deep action around what we need to do to continue to improve as a company.
“Culture, values and engagement are key strategic imperatives for us as a company and HR plays a vital role in creating this environment where we have a positive culture and where trust is a key part of who we are.”
3. Managers are the key to employee engagement
In a day and age where so many people are focused on company branding as a way to ensure employee engagement, Ain believes that how highly an organisation is regarded is only part of the story.
“I think people go to work for companies because of the company. But I think they leave because of who they work under. Once you’re at a place, who you work for and how they create an environment for you to excel and be happy makes all the difference in the world. It’s why Kronos has such a deep focus on leadership and management effectiveness.
“You can get a situation where an employee is fully engaged with the company, but simultaneously have low engagement with their manager. I can tell you that the people in the company that have the highest engagement scores, their managers have the highest effectiveness ratings. And the lowest engagement scores come from those whose managers have the lowest effectiveness ratings. And if you take it to the next level, people resign over this. Lowest engagement, lowest manager effectiveness, highest turnover.
“So on top of the common engagement survey questions, we’ve added our own specialty questions which focus on your relationship with your manager. “Does Aron Ain talk to you on a regular basis about your career aspirations? Does he understand what you’re doing in your job?” Then we give that feedback to the manager and we ask them to put a plan together on how they can improve. Because you can’t change what you don’t know you need to change.”
4. Family comes before business
Perhaps Ain’s most unusual belief (especially considering he’s a CEO) is that his company shouldn’t be so crucial to his employees.
“I have a strong belief in a proper work-life balance for all employees. All the time I tell people who work at Kronos that if the most important thing in their life is Kronos, they’ve got their priorities mixed up. I tell them that is just silly. The most important thing in their life should be their family. I’m not saying Kronos shouldn’t be important, but it shouldn’t be the most important thing.”
To this effect Kronos offers paid maternity leave, paid paternity leave and has an open vacation policy in every country where it’s permitted. People can take as much time off as they want as long as they get their work done and get approval from their manager.

A MUM has told of her agony at having to terminate one of her unborn twins to give the other a chance of survival.
Katie Davenport, from Penarth, South Wales, was ecstatic to discover she was expecting twins – but at her 20-week scan, doctors found one of the babies had a number of severe abnormalities which threatened the lives of both twins.
Following their consultants’ advice, parents Katie and Rhys decided to terminate the affected twin – naming her Patsy, after Rhys’ grandmother.
But then Katie went into labour just a day short of being 24 weeks pregnant – the time a premature baby is officially considered able to survive.
Tilly-Sue was born 16 weeks early at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, weighing just 1lb 9oz.
Katie said: “The whole thing was a total blur.
“Tilly was taken away before I even had a chance to see her. All I could think was ‘I’ve already lost one baby, I can’t lose another one.’”
When Katie was able to see her new baby daughter a day later, she says she was “horrified” at the sight of the tiny tot.
She said: “She was so tiny that her eyes were still fused shut and she looked so fragile and vulnerable.
“I just wanted someone to tell me that she was going to be okay but they couldn’t. We just had to take it hour by hour and hope.”
Tilly suffered multiple terrifying setbacks – as her weight dropped to 1lb 3oz, and she suffered a bleed on her brain and an infection in her chest and blood.
With four other children, Katie and Rhys split their time between home and the hospital – dreading the worst as Tilly suffered more problems.
Katie said: “The first time I was able to put my hands inside the incubator and hold her she started to choke and I was taken away while the doctors resuscitated her.
“A few weeks later one of her lungs collapsed. Knowing that at any moment things could take a dramatic turn for the worst was awful.”

'Nothing is impossible'Brave mum-of-one has told of her fightback after losing hands and feet to blood poisoning that almost killed her
Then last Christmas, Katie says she felt “guilty” for spending time away from Tilly as she and Rhys woke up and opened presents with their children.
She went to the hospital later in the day and was greeted with the best possible Christmas gift – for the first time, little Tilly was well enough for a cuddle from her mummy.
“The moment I’d been waiting to arrive for five long weeks was finally here,” Katie said. “I just sat there for hours and hours with Tilly on my chest, never wanting to put her down again. It felt like we’d finally turned a corner.”
A week before Tilly’s actual due date, she was well enough to go home to her family. She continued to exceed expectations and today she is a healthy and very happy baby who will soon be celebrating her first birthday.
“As much as it’s hard to think about those dark days before Christmas, I’ll never forget the amazing care that Tilly received on the neonatal unit,” said Katie.
“I can’t thank the staff there enough for everything they did. Without them we wouldn’t be here now celebrating Tilly’s first birthday and preparing for our first Christmas at home with her. She’s definitely our little miracle.”
Children’s hospital charity Noah’s Ark has launched its Tiny Lives Appeal with the aim of raising £1million towards the development of the neonatal unit at the University Hospital of Wales.
The money raised from the appeal will be spent on specialist lifesaving equipment like ventilators which support premature or critically ill babies to breathe. It will also be used to buy a mobile X-ray machine which allows doctors to diagnose and respond quickly to a vulnerable baby’s ever-changing condition. | <urn:uuid:c712c0cd-0cec-4ef0-be1f-ae2fe54ffca2> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/living/200948/mum-has-to-have-one-twin-aborted-to-give-her-other-child-a-better-chance-of-life/ | 2018-11-17T21:56:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743854.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117205946-20181117231946-00387.warc.gz | en | 0.980616 | 907 |
GOLO Employee Spotlight: Hannah Brown
As an advocate for good corporate citizenship and giving back locally, GOLO makes finding meaningful ways to support the community a company priority. We also encourage our employees to seek ways to improve their communities through volunteerism.
One notable example comes from GOLO executive assistant Hannah Brown who volunteers with Wayfarer House. This community-based organization provides transitional housing for single women and single-parent families experiencing homelessness.
Once entering the program, the residents move toward greater independence by receiving goal-focused case management and referrals to local agencies for support with overall personal health, financial stability, parenting skills, and employment needs.
Hannah serves not only as a volunteer but a mentor for the residents.
After becoming aware of Hannah's involvement with Wayfarer House, GOLO came on board to support the organization as well. In addition to making a financial contribution, the company participates in healthy lifestyle and mentoring programs at the facility.
"I love volunteering with Wayfarer House because we have the opportunity to help guide people experiencing crises toward a better life and eventually a safe place they can call home," Brown says.
GOLO empowers individuals and communities by helping them take control of their health and wellness. As a mission-driven organization, we are also committed to assisting deserving charitable groups and community-based organizations that promote health and wellness initiatives.

In contrast, Morgan found that the average marathon runners tended toward dissociation during competition. That is, they transfixed their minds on subjects
Totally unrelated to running. Morgan also reported that the need for the average runner to dissociate became overwhelming as the race progressed and the runner was overcome by discomfort.

In more recent research, my colleague at the University of Cape Town, Dr. Helgo Schomer (1984, 1986, 1987) studied the relationship between marathon runners’ perceptions of effort and the mental strategies these runners employed during exercise of different intensities. Using lightweight microcassette recorders, he recorded the thought patterns during training of three distinct groups of marathon runners: a group of beginner runners who were training for their first marathon, a group of average marathon runners, and a group of elite runners with best marathon times in the region of 2:20. These runners were encouraged to speak into the tape whatever went through their minds.
The surprising finding, which contrasts with that of W.P. Morgan (1978), was that all runners, regardless of their levels of proficiency, spent progressively more time in associative thought as the intensities of their perceived efforts, measured on the Borg scale (see Exercises 6.2), increased. Thus, regardless of whether they were elite or beginner runners, as they perceived their exercise becoming harder, they altered their thinking from being mainly dissociative to mostly associative. The findings of Sachs (1984a) are in line with this interpretation.
Although these thought patterns are probably beneficial for the novice runner in that they maintain motivation by distracting the runner’s thoughts from the discomfort he or she may be feeling, for the more serious runner, dissociative
Thinking patterns, particularly during races, probably indicate that the athlete is not really running as hard as would be possible if he or she trained more seriously.

Abstract. The geostrategic equation in the Middle East has become more complex in the recent years and any serious analysis leads to the conclusion that the situation shall become even more complicated. The naval component of this geostrategic equation is obviously determined by the evolution of the situation in the area and it undergoes major transformations.
The states in the area do not have a naval force capable of managing the situation in the relevant maritime area and they continue accepting the presence of foreign naval forces which are much more powerful and, theoretically, are able to manage the maritime security issues. Practically, the areas with the biggest problems are in this part of the world. Piracy, terrorism and military conflicts are a dominant feature of the area. Any attempt to solve the situation has failed. The cause is the following: those who manage these phenomena are the ones who produce them. Basically, it is a closed circle. A problem or a conflict disappears and another problem, another conflict appears. The Middle East is like a continuously erupting volcano with several craters. You do not know when and where it will erupt.

Managers’ confidence in the Romanian economy has increased in Q4/2020, in conditions in which the decrease in turnover is half compared to the pessimistic expectations at the beginning of the pandemic, according to CONFIDEX Q4 2020 results made public by Impetum Group. CONFIDEX index, which measures managers’ confidence in the economy, grows from 41 in Q2 and Q3 2020 to 45, but is lower (43) in the case of small companies, which have been more affected by the pandemic.
“CONFIDEX obviously shows a more optimistic attitude of managers in the last quarter of 2020, mainly as a result of the decrease to half of losses estimated at the beginning of the pandemic, and this will have an effect in the positive evolution of our economy this year. But the optimism in the last quarter of last year could postpone the companies’ alignment to the new economy. It is a false target to aim to return to what was before, now the stake is to get ready for the new economy”, says Andrei Cionca, CEO & Co-founder of Impetum Group.
At the same time, companies are starting to reconfigure their spectrum of priorities and are becoming increasingly interested in digitization and redefining the relationship with customers. While the first measure is designed for transition back to normal, the second is rather seen as an adaptation and precaution measure in lockdown conditions.
Managers have great expectations from 2021 and rely on an increase in business and investment.
As regards Q1/2021, the percentage of those who believe that GDP will fall has decreased from 73% to 46%, and the increase in investment and digitization are priorities for companies in the following year. CONFIDEX shows a smaller share of those who believe that unemployment will increase (75% vs 54%) and of those who think that inflation will grow (70% vs 58%).
”Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is very clear in the case of companies. Therefore, after managers have overcome the initial shock and have made sure that they have what it takes to survive, many have at the moment plans to expand and increase sales and profits. Moreover, digitization, moving operations online and teleworking are on their list of priorities, at least in terms of statements“, Andrei Cionca, CEO & Co-founder Impetum Group, also said. Looking now at the whole year 2020 we realize that we have undergone a crisis of confidence – from the difficult period in which the lack of visibility affected us more than reality, the managers’ optimism is slightly returning and they make decisions based on reality, not on the perception of risk, continued Andrei Cionca.
By the end of 2021, managers estimate a recovery at least partial in terms of key financial indicators of companies. They expect turnovers and investments to climb by 5% compared to 2020 and profit to go up by around 1%. At the same time, they also expect an increase in the number of employees, but also in production costs, by around 2%.
The optimism at the end of last year is also reflected in expectations regarding the return to the situation before the pandemic. Most managers expect a full recovery of losses caused by COVID-19 in the summer of 2022.
A V-shaped way out of the crisis, but a two-speed comeback. HoReCa remains the most affected sector
Next, managers see a V-shaped way out of the crisis, but with a two-speed comeback, given that companies have been affected differently by the pandemic, as shown by the CONFIDEX Index. For example, HoReCa continues to remain the sector most affected by the pandemic.
Companies gradually give up austerity measures, such as: layoffs, unemployment and downsizing. 70% of the medium and large companies and 55% of the small ones believe that, in the following period, productivity should increase, including by investing to remain competitive. Only 27% believe that the decrease in costs is more important in this period (-10% compared to Q3).
In the area of less positive news, CONFIDEX shows that the working capital decreases for 35% of the managers, most of them claim that the relationship with banks has worsened, and access to lending has become more difficult.
Also, the pandemic has not solved the issue of the labor force, which ranks second in the top of challenges.
Outlook for Q1/2021. Recovery
Overall, the outlook in terms of evolution of the economy for the following 3 months is better. The most pessimistic are the managers in Transport and Services, and the most optimistic are those in Constructions.
Most (85%) managers believe that starting the anti-COVID vaccination campaign will have a positive impact on national economy.
Increase in productivity is the main engine for economic relaunch for almost two thirds of the companies, and the decrease in costs will enter a downward trend: by 10% fewer managers are considering cutting costs as a way of recovery.
Methodology and prospects
Initiated shortly after the start of the pandemic, CONFIDEX measures the confidence of Romanian managers in the current economy and is aimed at creating concrete milestones for businesses and supporting managers in making decisions adapted to reality.
CONFIDEX Q4 2020 covers a sample of approximately 950 companies from the top 7 categories of economic sectors contributing to GDP and all regions of the country: agriculture; industry and electricity; constructions, trade; HORECA; transport; distribution; storage; services. The survey was answered only by CEOs and C-level managers, and out of the targeted companies 75% have a turnover of over EUR 1mln and 31% a turnover of over EUR 5mln. CONFIDEX is the first market survey paying special attention to large companies. For the purposes of statistical comparison with the two previous surveys, most of this report includes only the analysis of companies with a turnover of over EUR 100,000 and more than 5 employees, the sample of CONFIDEX.Q4 comparative analysis thus being represented by 750 companies.
Confidex index is made up from the aggregation of 29 items and measures on a 0 to 100 points scale the confidence in economy of the Romanian managers and entrepreneurs. | <urn:uuid:b606aad6-1837-4cb2-84c8-389df3f094cb> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://business-review.eu/investments/confidex-q4-2020-by-impetum-group-managers-confidence-in-romanian-economy-surged-in-q4-2020-217364 | 2021-09-21T14:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057225.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20210921131252-20210921161252-00649.warc.gz | en | 0.96542 | 1,289 |
February 2, 2010
Idaho State Journal
MALAD — A Malad woman is seeking to organize opposition to state cuts proposed by Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter that would terminate public television broadcasts to rural Idaho communities.
Sharlene Mason said for many in her community, public television is the only televised source of information about the Idaho State Legislature. She fears cuts to public television would leave several people in rural Idaho in the dark about state matters.
"I wrote to the governor yesterday that maybe you want to suggest we at this end of the state want to annex to Utah because basically that's what news we're getting. That's who's telling us what to think and what to consider on everything from politics on state issues," Mason said.
Under Otter's proposed public television cuts, state funding would be phased out over four years, starting in July. Public television officials anticipate 41 of 42 translators that rebroadcast signals into smaller communities would be allowed to deteriorate until they're not functional with no funding to make repairs. The Pocatello public television studio, KISU, as well as KUID in Moscow and the studio located in the Joe R. Williams building in Boise would likely be closed, said Ron Pisaneschi, director of content for Idaho Public Television. The Boise studio provides live coverage of the Legislature.
Pisaneschi noted the country is divided into television markets; communities are assigned a market and receive network television from their primary stations. In Idaho communities assigned to markets in other states - Malad for example - cable and satellite customers don't get Idaho news, with the exception of public television.
"If they lose public television, they aren't going to have the option of the legislative coverage we do," Pisaneschi said.
Pisaneschi said public television has four channels and "general audience numbers are holding up."
Programs about the Legislature aren't as popular among viewers as programs such as "Antiques Road Show." Pisaneschi views the legislative coverage as a public service and believes such programming couldn't be supported by private donations.
"Our audience for legislative channels is not enormous. We provide this as a service," he said. "That's our mission. In some ways, that's part of our dilemma. That's what the state funds in large part allow to make happen."
Mason is among those viewers who appreciate the service public television offers with its legislative programs.
"It's imperative that we know what's going on in the People's House, and this is the only way of getting it," said Mason, who purchased two memberships in public television to show her support. "How are (voters) going to vote intelligently if they don't get the issues? You don't have citizens who are willing to help and willing to make sacrifices unless you keep them informed."
Pisaneschi said the numbers have been run, and there's simply no way to operate without the state funding. He understands that all government services will be asked to take cuts given the state's revenue shortfall. He just [doesn't] understand why public television's cut should be 100 percent.

BC travelers seeking transformation via adventure and education
|Enjoying a gourmet kayaking adventure in BC's Gulf Islands. Sue Frause photo.|
British Columbia travelers are trading relaxation for transformation. That's according to the British Columbia Automobile Association, who say that adventure and educational travel are the trends for 2008.
During the past year, BCAA Travel has noted a marked increase in educational, adventure, health/spa and culinary getaways. The survey group included 102 BCAA member travel counselors, North American travel specialists, travel consultants and travels services' staff. Here are their findings:
Another trend is group travel. This includes multi-generational family getaways for reunions, weddings, milestone birthdays or holidays. Individual travelers are also connecting with other like-minded travelers to vacation as a group.
- Adventure Travel: This includes outdoor activities, volunteering and cultural immersion. It can range from traversing the Arabian Peninsula on camelback to such soft adventures as watching giant sea turtles lay their eggs on a Costa Rica Beach. More women, honeymooners, families and the over-50 set are booking adventure holidays.
- Educational Travel: Learning over lounging. It can be a skill, sport or lifelong interest. Activities range from themed tours of the great opera houses of Europe to studying the Amazon rain forest. Particularly popular with university-educated professionals who want to enrich their lives in areas other than which they are working.
- Health and Spa Travel: These range from rustic retreats to luxury destinations resorts. Health-centric vacations are popular getaways for people seeking balance in their lives. Vacationers are selecting resorts that specialize in their preferred sporting pursuits such as golf, tennis, yoga or Pilates.
- Culinary Travel: Combining food, wine and travel is the ideal sensory experience for many. Tuscany has long been a destination for foodies. Other popular getaways including dining at unique restaurants, touring farmers' markets, wineries, gourmet food shopping and food and wine festivals. | <urn:uuid:8c1b0a20-e5fa-4f86-87b0-0496c47b911e> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.closetcanuck.com/2007/12/travelers-want-to-be-transformed.html | 2019-04-23T16:26:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578605555.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190423154842-20190423180842-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.940979 | 413 |
BOB HIRSHON (host):
A deadly but odorless gas…I’m Bob Hirshon and this is Science Update.
Carbon monoxide gas may be odorless, but breathing too much of it can be fatal. Listener Amanda Wilson of Katy, Texas wants to know if it’s so deadly, why haven’t we evolved a way to smell it? We put the question to chemist Neal Langerman of Advanced Chemical Safety in San Diego. He says we lack receptors in our nose or mouth for carbon monoxide.
NEAL LANGERMAN (Advanced Chemical Safety):
And without a receptor, you don’t perceive it.
He says we haven’t evolved such receptors because indoor carbon monoxide exposure didn’t become a problem for people until the advent of modern, industrialized societies.
There just was no natural selection to drive the evolutionary development of receptor cells.
He cautions against smoking or burning anything indoors and recommends installing inexpensive carbon monoxide detectors in the home. I’m Bob Hirshon, for AAAS, the science society. | <urn:uuid:3b19e738-9562-436e-b32d-dec554a00d5c> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.scienceupdate.com/2010/04/carbon-monoxide-poisoning/ | 2022-05-23T18:16:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662560022.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220523163515-20220523193515-00380.warc.gz | en | 0.826474 | 250 |

Will any mass-produced vehicles built today stand the test of time and become truly collectible in the eyes of enthusiasts? That’s a question tackled by Hagerty with its annual list of vehicles that stand out as likely collector cars within the next 25 years.
In order to be considered for the “Hagerty Hot List,” the vehicle must be produced within the 2016 model year with an MSRP of less than $100,000.
2016 Hagerty Hot List (with notes from Hagerty)
- Mazda MX-5 Miata ($24,915)-Since 1989, this car has consistently (and sometimes exclusively) flown the flag of the lightweight roadster. Where there used to be MGs, Triumphs and Austin-Healeys, which leaked everything from oil on the driveway to rain on the passengers, there is the bullet-proof, trouble-free Miata. And thank goodness Mazda persists. The newest generation is shorter and more nimble than the preceding model and is quickly gaining the respect of driving enthusiasts.
- Ford Focus RS ($35,730)-The Focus from hell, the RS will finally reach American dealers for the 2016 model year with 350 horsepower, 350 lb-ft of torque, a six-speed manual and an all-wheel drive system that promises everything but the moon and a World Rally Championship trophy in every garage. Rear-biased torque distribution? Check. Grin-worthy power? Check. Hatchback practicality? Check. Look for Ford to snap up the crowd that Mitsubishi deserted when it discontinued the Evo.
- Chevrolet Camaro SS ($37,295)-Following last year’s debut of the sixth-generation Mustang, Chevy has once again risen to the challenge with the newly designed sixth-generation Camaro. There’s a new 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain along with the V6, but traditionalists will be glad to know that the SS badge remains in all its 455-hp V8 glory.
- BMW M2 ($51,700)-If you need any proof of BMW’s commitment to building performance coupes that people love to buy, try searching for a pre-owned M1 Coupe. In 2016 BMW will launch that car’s successor under the M2 nameplate. It’s slightly larger, significantly sexier and equipped to bookend the M Division’s lineup in the best possible way. Fans of classics like the 2002tii and the Z3 M coupe will love it.
- Ford Mustang GT350R ($62,195)-As if the GT350 wasn’t enough, the “R” version of Ford’s hottest Mustang does away with everything possible to save weight-including the rear seat-and even offers wheels made of carbon fiber. Ford bred this pony with one purpose: race track victory. As they say in the financial world, past performance isn’t a guarantee of future returns, but given the collectability of the Shelby GT350R from the ’60s and even the Mustang Cobra R from 1993, we’d say this one’s a shoe-in.
- Alfa Romeo 4C Spider ($65,900)-We love the pureness and simplicity of the 4C. It’s a refreshing reminder that great cars don’t have to be complicated. This car is more alive on the race track than the open road, so we predict well-preserved examples to dominate the vintage races in the future. The little 4C offers performance similar to a Ferrari 360 Modena from not too long ago at a bargain price for an Italian exotic.
- Porsche Cayman GT4 ($84,600)-This just might be one of the most exciting driver’s cars ever to come from Stuttgart. It borrows components from the current-generation 911 GT3 and puts them to work in a smaller, mid-engine package that makes many people wonder how much further the Cayman can go. We needn’t remind you of how high-performance, low-production Porsches have done in the collector car market.
- 2016 Dodge Viper SRT Coupe ($89,090)-This isn’t the first year of the current Viper, but in a time when most cars are trading engine displacement for forced induction there is just something to love about the brute force of the 8.4-liter V10. If words like “bludgeon” “eviscerate” and “trounce” appeal to you, this is your car. Because who doesn’t need a sledge hammer from time to time?
- Cadillac ATS-V ($60,465)-This car is built in Lansing, Michigan, to do battle with bad boys like the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63. Its twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 makes an eye-watering 464 horsepower that you can control through an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual with no-lift shifting and a penchant for taking punishment. The ATS-V is proof that Cadillac ain’t just whistling Dixie; there’s serious firepower behind all the smack talk.
- 2016 Lotus Evora 400 ($89,900)-This is the brand’s quickest and most powerful series-produced car ever, but it doesn’t sacrifice Lotus’ trademark lightness.

Aldar Khalil, a member of PYD and the head of the PKK-affiliated self-adminstration in northern Syria, announced that a delegation from Sweden had traveled to the north and northeast of Syria and supporting the Kurdish-Kurdish dialogue during their meetings.
The Kurdish-Kurdish dialogue refers to talks between the two factions affiliated to Ocalan and Barzani over the division of power and wealth in northern Syria, and has not yet been concluded, despite various agreements in Duhok, Erbil and US and French pressure. Both factions are fighting for power and wealth while Turkey occupies large parts of the Kurdish region and changes its demographics forever. Turkey has announced its intention to occupy the rest of the region.
Independent Kurdish experts consider the existence of Kurdish parties and organizations as the main cause of the people’s misery because they open the way to misery for them in the name of the Kurdish people. The history of Barzani and Talabani’s actions in Iraq and the actions of both sides in Syria proves in practice that they sacrifice people. Groups that can not even unite and even external pressures can not unite them claim to defend the rights of the Kurds! | <urn:uuid:764906d5-48c4-4271-9f9c-d7ddc2bf3848> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.ikhrw.com/en/report/aldar-khalil-sweden-supports-kurdish-kurdish-dialogue/ | 2022-12-09T22:34:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711552.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20221209213503-20221210003503-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.971467 | 244 |
Maybe you thought I’d have moved on by now but nope, we are still firmly in the banana groove! I finally bought a loaf tin so banana bread is now firmly on the menu.
First it was Peanut butter banana bread with maple glaze which was delicious. The icing made it feel more like a special cake than “just” banana bread. It did take 75 minutes to cook in my oven though, which is worth remembering in future, not a quick cake!
Next it was straight up Banana bread. Sugaring the pan didn’t really work for me, there was no sugar crunch just quite a dark, but luckily not burnt crust, I’ll skip this step next time. The idea was to slice it up and put it in the freezer so we are ready for any cake based emergencies! We may have both eaten a couple of pieces but it finally made it into the freezer. Hope it tastes as good when it comes out!
So now we’ve had banana bread, muffins, and pancakes. I wonder if there are any more banana related recipes that in missing out on?! | <urn:uuid:ba287ce2-b479-4a24-a086-9a4daad43d93> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://toarizonaandbeyond.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/still-bananas-for-banana-bread/ | 2017-12-14T06:02:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948541253.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214055056-20171214075056-00785.warc.gz | en | 0.980252 | 233 |

Today the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution published their report “Crop Spraying and the Health of Residents and Bystanders.” So, what will the Royal Commission's recommendations really mean for rural residents and communities?
By Georgina Downs, UK Pesticides Campaign
Four and a half years after I first identified serious fundamental flaws throughout the existing system for approving, regulating and monitoring pesticides, the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, (RCEP), the UK's most influential environmental body, has today published a report concluding that there are serious fundamental flaws throughout the existing system for approving, regulating and monitoring pesticides.
Therefore do I feel vindicated by the Royal Commission's findings and what will their recommendations really mean for rural residents and communities?
My family and I have lived next to crop fields that are regularly sprayed with pesticides for over 21 years. From around 1993 onwards we made repeated approaches to the Health and Safety Executive and the local Environmental Health Department for assistance regarding the lack of any protection for our health and safety, property and land from repeated exposures to innumerable mixtures of hazardous chemicals, many of which have neurotoxic, carcinogenic and hormone-disrupting capabilities.
However, we were always told that the farmer wasn't doing anything illegal and in relation to requests for prior notification before any spraying application, we were informed that there was no legal obligation for a farmer to provide it or any information on the chemicals being used.
I found this astonishing and realised that if this practice was in fact legal, then the problem had to originate at Government Policy level. Following extensive investigations and research into the existing regulations, it became apparent that there was an inherent fundamental failure at all levels to protect people in the countryside from exposure to pesticides. I therefore started to present a case to the Government in early 2001 to highlight the lack of regulation, including the serious inadequacies of the current risk assessment processes.
The current method of assessing the risks to public health from crop-spraying is based on the predictive model of a 'bystander.” This model assumes that there will only be occasional, short-term exposure from the spray cloud at the time of the application only, and furthermore, to only one individual pesticide at any time.
This model is clearly inadequate to address the real-life long-term exposure for rural residents and communities, where they will be repeatedly and frequently exposed to mixtures of pesticides and other hazardous chemicals, throughout every year and in many cases, like mine, for decades.
The current system does not address long-term exposure to pesticides in the air, chemical fumes and volatilisation after application, as well as precipitation, reactivation, mixtures and long-range transportation. Yet once dispersed, pesticide particles and droplets cannot be controlled, they are airborne contaminants and can travel considerable distances. A reputable study in California found pesticides located up to 3 miles away from pesticide treated areas. Studies have also shown that very low doses of pesticides, in concentrations as low as parts per trillion can have effects, especially to the unborn child.
In July 2002 I gave a presentation regarding the inadequacies of the “bystander risk assessment” to the Government's Advisory Committee on Pesticides (ACP) at their annual Open Meeting. I produced a video with mannequins to illustrate the inherent health risks of crop-spraying near human habitation. I chose mannequins that resembled some of the more vulnerable groups, including a pregnant woman, two babies and a young child. When I asked the attendees to raise their hands if they thought that the video had shown an acceptable system for protecting public health, not a single hand went up!
I subsequently met with former DEFRA Ministers, Lord Whitty and Michael Meacher, in December 2002 to show them the video and present the case for a ban on crop-spraying near homes, schools, workplaces, as well as prior notification before any spraying application and direct public access to information on the chemicals being used. The Ministers stated that I had made a powerful case and that they would need to await further advice from the ACP, which they stated was critical, before making any decisions.
The Ministers eventually decided to launch 2 Consultations' on crop-spraying in July 2003 that were proposing the introduction of the measures that I had been campaigning for and which resulted in the highest number of responses since DEFRA records began.
I submitted a second video to the Consultation that featured individuals and families from all over the country reporting acute and chronic long-term illnesses and diseases in rural communities surrounded by sprayed fields.
The most common illnesses that have been reported to me throughout the campaign include various cancers, leukaemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, neurological problems including ME, along with many other medical conditions. Reports of this nature have gone on for decades and yet in relation to the UK there does not appear to have been any monitoring for chronic effects and acute effects are commonly dismissed by Government agencies and advisors as being unrelated to pesticides. Therefore the Government's official figures do not give a true representation of the real scope of the problem relating to the adverse effects of pesticide exposure.
The result of the Consultations' was announced by the former DEFRA Minister for Rural Affairs, Alun Michael on 16th June 2004. He stated that on the basis of the scientific advice he had received from the ACP and DEFRA's Chief Scientific Advisor, he was confident that the existing system provided full reassurance. However, he requested the Royal Commission study to re-examine the evidence regarding the risks to people from crop-spraying.
In addition to all the written evidence I submitted to the RCEP study, I was also invited to make a presentation at the RCEP public meeting held on September 25th 2004 and then to give oral evidence to the Commission members a few months later. Considering my involvement on the issue, I was also asked to peer review 4 chapters of the draft report.
So, 4 and a half years after I launched my campaign, do I feel vindicated by the Royal Commission's findings? On the one hand yes, as the fact that the RCEP has recognised that there are serious inherent flaws throughout the existing regulations and called for a complete overhaul is obviously a positive outcome, although not entirely new. A number of previous reports have also “heavily criticised” the existing system and warned that public health was potentially at risk from pesticides, including the highly regarded British Medical Association's 1990 report “Pesticides, Chemicals and Health” and the Commons Agriculture Select Committee report in 1987.
The RCEP have agreed with many of the arguments I highlighted in my evidence, including those relating to the potential conflict of interest when policy and delivery functions are managed within the same agency. This applies in particular to the Government regulators, the Pesticides Safety Directorate (PSD), an executive agency of DEFRA. The PSD receive approx. 60% of their revenue for the licensing of pesticides. This is broken down into the levy charge and the fees for applications. The figure for the year 2003/04 for income generated from the agro-chemical industry is £7,155,000 and PSD are required to achieve full cost recovery for its operations.
However, the PSD is also responsible for advising UK Ministers on the development and enforcement of pesticides policy and legislation. Therefore, PSD's principle role is supposed to be the protection of public health, which should take absolute precedence over any financial, economic or other considerations. This cannot possibly happen under PSD's current structure and has been fully recognised by the RCEP.
The RCEP's findings were critical of both the Government's key advisors on pesticides, the PSD and the ACP. In a somewhat bizarre turn of events the RCEP's report exposes the fact that on 2 occasions the PSD did not pass on to Ministers the ACP's formal written advice regarding the bystander issue, (advice nos. 297 and 301) labelled as “Advice to Ministers.”
Having been a peer reviewer towards the latter stages of the RCEP's report, I was astonished to discover this had happened, especially considering it was repeatedly stated by both Lord Whitty and Michael Meacher during the meeting in December 2002 that they would need to await further advice from the ACP, which they stated was critical, before making any decisions.
The ACP members themselves must be surprised to learn that their own independent advice to Ministers didn't actually get to where it was intended. The detailed record of ACP meetings that I managed to obtain under the Freedom of Information Act revealed a letter written by the ACP Chairman, Professor David Coggon to the Chief Executive of the PSD, Kerr Wilson, in January 2004, explaining that a number of members of the ACP had reservations about the confidence that could be placed in the scientific evidence that the bystander risk assessment provides adequate protection. Within this letter Professor Coggon referred to “…the advice given to Ministers following meeting 301” and “In formulating our advice to Ministers.”
It is clear from the comments made by Professor Coggon that he was under the impression that previous ACP advice had been forwarded for Ministers attention.
It was actually the confusion surrounding this very issue that resulted in the RCEP having to delay the publication of their report from June to September, as even though the whole purpose of the RCEP study was to examine the scientific evidence behind DEFRA's policy decisions, the PSD had not passed on the ACP's advice to the RCEP either.
The RCEP also had difficulties obtaining from PSD the advice they gave to Ministers following their analysis and consideration of all the submissions to the 2 DEFRA Consultations and were even forced to consider invocation of the Royal Warrant. It appears the RCEP were unsuccessful in obtaining this information and therefore there are now question marks as to whether any formal written advice even exists!
However, disappointingly, despite the RCEP's strong criticisms aimed at practically all the Government agencies involved with pesticides and coming to the conclusion that there is a case that needs to be answered concerning the possibility of a link between agricultural use of pesticides and ill health in residents and bystanders, the report then manages to completely contradict itself by making recommendations that won't actually prevent exposure to pesticides for people in the countryside from crop-spraying applications.
Considering the evidence that was submitted to the RCEP in relation to the distances that pesticides have been shown to travel in the air and the calculated health risks for rural residents and communities living within those distances, the recommendation of a 5 metre buffer zone is quite frankly farcical and I remain at a loss to understand how the RCEP could have considered this to be acceptable and protective.
Many pesticides commonly used in California have been detected far from the site of application, some as far as 25 to 50 miles. Studies in America consistently find pesticides in the air, rain and even fog as a result of the repeated and frequent use and release of pesticides on a large scale in agricultural areas.
One study of Californian women showed that living within a mile of farms where certain pesticides are sprayed, during critical weeks in pregnancy, increased by 120% the chance of losing the baby through birth defects. Another study showed that living within a mile and a half of the cranberry fields of Cape Cod increased a child's risk of developing a particular type of brain tumour.
A recent study from America that confirmed acute illnesses in children and employees from pesticides sprayed on farmland near schools pointed out that 7 US states require no-spray buffer zones of up to 2.5 miles around schools.
Even data that was presented to the ACP by the PSD during the deliberations on the bystander issue highlighted that a study in California had shown high levels of a particular pesticide associated with an application 300 metres from the sampling station.
So, after accepting that there is a potential risk to health from pesticide exposure and stating that they could not rule out the possibility that crop-spraying may be responsible for the ill-health reported, where did the RCEP's wholly inadequate 5 metres come from?
I asked a member of the Royal Commission secretariat this very question and it appears to have come from one source, Silsoe, a research institute who have previously received funding from DEFRA and whose work is predominantly related to immediate spraydrift and application technology issues, in particular nozzle design. The RCEP relied heavily on their expertise for the modelling and exposure sections of the report. However, having previously spoken with employees at Silsoe, it was clear during discussions that they do not address the long-term exposure factors that I have been raising regarding rural residents and communities. For example, considering volatilisation can occur days, weeks, even months after application then it is immaterial how good the nozzles of the sprayer may be at the time of the application.
Many people who contact me have been affected by the inhalation of chemical fumes after application, which again is not something that would fall into Silsoe's area or work and has not been sufficiently addressed in the RCEP report. Yet the safety data sheet for each pesticide product shows how hazardous these chemicals are with warnings like “Very toxic by inhalation and do not breathe fumes; do not breathe vapour; harmful; possible risk of irreversible effects through inhalation; may cause cancer by inhalation.”
Therefore the recommendation of 5 metre buffer strips will be unable to protect people in the countryside from the overall and complex exposures they will be receiving as a result of pesticide spraying in the complete sense rather than exposure related solely to that of immediate spraydrift.
In another bizarre turn of events one of the representatives from Silsoe, who was involved with recommending this distance to the RCEP, now works for the organisation PAN-UK, an organisation supposedly working to eliminate the hazards of pesticides for the protection of public health and the environment. PAN-UK recently stated in a radio interview that 6 metres could be appropriate. (So it went up a metre!) This does not appear in line with their international counterparts Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) who clearly state on their website that “Pesticides can travel long distances and have been found as far as 50 miles away from where they were applied.”
The RCEP's 5 metre recommendation will only overwhelmingly disappoint rural communities who will see this as yet another independent inquiry that was filled with such promise, but in relation to the overriding key recommendation, has simply failed to deliver.
Therefore, once the dust settles and the morning-after arguments begin from all sides regarding the RCEP's findings, what will the RCEP's recommendations actually mean for rural residents and communities?
If not implemented by the Government, not a lot. If implemented, then we will now be able to obtain direct access to the information on what chemicals are being sprayed and when, which of course is a fundamental right that should never have been denied. However, it is all well and good to finally know what you are being poisoned by, but surely the fundamental point is not to be poisoned in the first place.
The UK Pesticides Campaign will continue to press the Government for immediate action and will be writing to Tony Blair to request an urgent meeting.
The only way to protect public health and prevent any illnesses and diseases that may be associated with pesticides is to avoid exposure altogether through the widespread adoption of sustainable non-chemical and natural methods as an alternative to chemical pest control.
If left to rely on the Royal Commission's recommendations then it looks like our long-awaited “breath of fresh air” may still be a long way off! | <urn:uuid:9bd82df7-152e-4f54-96cb-50075cd8bd1d> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://pesticidescampaign.co.uk/documents/Georgina%20comments%20on%20RCEP%20report.html | 2017-06-27T15:35:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00606.warc.gz | en | 0.971405 | 3,231 |

The Santone Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig provides anglers with a smaller, subtle profile for targeting pressured bass or fishing bodies of water with smaller forage species. Constructed around a 5/0 Mustad Ultra Point light-wire hook, this swim jig utilizes a thinner head design which is engineered to keep it swimming on plane and navigate through sparse cover. Developed and tested on some of Texas' best big bass lakes, the Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig is everything you want in a swim jig.
While chatterbaits and swimbaits are a very trendy choice around sparse cover, there's no substitute for a swim jig's subtle action the versatility it affords in terms of retrieve speed and action. Santone designed their Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig with lots of excellent features including a snag reducing weedguard, oversized prism eyes, high quality, detailed silicone skirts and a bait keeper collar. An often overlooked feature that stood out to us was the inline line tie - basically the vertical positioning of the jig's eye keeps the bait moving directly back to the angler and also keeps the energy of the hookset on a single plane. Ultimately, that helps ensure solid, thorough hooksets which combine with the light-wire hook to penetrate the fish's jaw better without having to swing for the fences. Overall, Santone Lures just makes quality products and the Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig is a great representation of their work.
We offer the Santone Lures Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig in the 5/16oz in several excellent colors.

The holidays are almost over. It's time to start thinking about the new year and the plans you have for your horse.
As a rule, local horse activities start in March and April. The Red River Riding Association and the Rangler Riding Club begin their season in March. The Texoma All-Breed Horse Show Association's activities get going in April. If you belong to the Texas Oklahoma Barrel Racing Association or the Red River Cutting Horse Association, please let me know your schedules.
As soon as the weather warms up, get your trailer and horse ready for the new season.
Have you noticed whether your trailer fits your horse? If your trailer is too small or your horse too tall, he may not be able to balance himself properly, which and cause panic or harm or at least be uncomfortable. You might not know it's easier for horses to keep their balance in a trailer when facing backward. They can compensate for stops and starts more easily if they are not falling forward.
Riding backward works best in a stock trailer. A two-horse trailer is not designed to do that as it shifts too much weight on the back axles. If you tie your horse, make sure he has enough slack to use his head and neck for balance, but not enough to put his foot over the tie. Always use quick-release snaps on the halter ropes and have a sharp knife ready to cut the rope in an emergency. Also, good quality grass hay is safer than alfalfa to feed in the trailer, and it's safer to feed from a hay net.
If you are hauling a weanling or a horse that is not halter-trained, just use a large stock trailer and turn him loose inside the front divide. Always put the heaviest horse in the front of the trailer and the smaller one in back. If you are traveling any distance, allow extra time to get to your destination. It's safer to leave earlier and drive slower than taking any chances with the trailer. Pack your hay, grain, water, water buckets, feed tubs and all your necessities the day before so all you have to worry about is your horse. Also, keep copies of all paperwork in the truck at all times.
Do a final check before leaving. Walk around the trailer, making sure nothing is in the way. Make sure all the door and tack room latches are fastened, and make sure the trailer is properly secured to the truck with the safety chains in place. The tires should be inflated with plenty of tread. Check all the lights and signals. Before you load your horse, oil the hinges so they don't squeak and scare him.
Once you have started down the road, stop every so often and check your horse and the trailer. Go inside the trailer and look him over and always offer him a drink. Once you arrive at your destination, unload and walk him around a few minutes and let him graze if possible.
Don't forget the third program in the series of four on mare care. It will be "Lactating Mare and Foal: Nutrition and Care" from 7 to 9 p.m. Jan. 8 at the Multi-Purpose Events Center Exhibit Hall, presented by a Purina nutritionist. The cost is $10 at the door. The sponsors include the Feed and Garden Store, Berend Bros. Farm Store, Holliday Feed & Farm Supply and The Browse Shop.

The most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, Black Uhuru maintained their high quality despite numerous personnel changes in their 40-plus-year history. The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album Anthem, Black Uhuru was, according to Reggae: The Rough Guide, "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early '80s."
Black Uhuru, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom," was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Ervin "Don Carlos" Spencer, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson. When the group experienced difficulties securing a record contract, Spencer left to pursue a solo career and Dennis joined the Wailing Souls. Simpson, who remained the thread throughout Black Uhuru's evolution, reorganized the band with Errol "Jay" Wilson and quivery-voiced lead vocalist Michael Rose, compared by Trouser Press to "a Rasta cantor." Accompanied by the rhythm section of Sly Dunbar on drums and Robbie Shakespear on bass, Black Uhuru created a sound that made them a match for any reggae ensemble. Their debut album, Love Crisis, released in 1977, included the anthemic hit "I Love King Selassie." Three years later, the album was remixed and released as Black Sounds of Freedom.
With the addition of harmony singer Sandra "Puma" Jones, an Afro-American woman who held a master's degree from Columbia University and was a former member of the female group Mama Africa in 1981, Black Uhuru entered their most commercially successful period. In addition to recording a memorable studio album, Red, and an exciting live album, Tear It Up, the group reached its peak with the release of Anthem in 1983. Remixed and revised for release in the United States, the redone version was re-released in Europe shortly afterwards. Although the album received a Grammy, internal problems caused the band to splinter the following year. Rose was replaced by sound-alike Junior Reid. Jones and Reid remained with the band until 1989. Although Reid left when visa problems prevented him from touring, Jones, who was replaced by Olefunke, was forced to step down after being diagnosed with cancer. She died on January 28, 1990, and was buried in her home state of South Carolina. The original three members -- Simpson, Spencer and Dennis -- reunited to record a trio album, Now, in 1990. They've continued to tour and perform in this configuration. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi | <urn:uuid:893ddba8-feec-4de3-8ba5-d8ad37d24023> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.pandora.com/black-uhuru/unification | 2015-03-03T13:17:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463287.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00310-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971263 | 533 |
On his 74th birthday,a man got a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby Indian reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man, and wondered what he was in for.
The medicine man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, 'This is powerful medicine. It must be respected. You take only teaspoonful, and then say '1-2-3.' When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform as long as you want."
The old man was encouraged.As he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"
"Your partner must say '1-2-3-4," he responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until next full moon."
The old man was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men.
His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes, and then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"
And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

Insurance fraud is a serious offense in Illinois that can result in a misdemeanor or felony conviction, prison time, harsh fines, and a permanent criminal record. The crime of insurance fraud encompasses filing fraudulent claims, or claims with false or misleading information to an insurance company in exchange for compensation.

The crime of insurance fraud is set out in 720 ILCS 5/17-10.5. Under the statute, a person commits insurance fraud when he or she:
- Knowingly obtains; or
- Attempts to obtain; or
- Causes to be obtained;
- By deception;
- Control over the property of an insurance company;
- By making a false claim;
- Intending to deprive the insurance company permanently of its property.
Examining the elements, it is important to note that you can be charged with this offense even if you did not obtain insurance benefits. It is sufficient for conviction that you attempted to obtain benefits by filing a false claim. Deception of an insurance company or a self-insured entity will both result in a conviction.
Further included in the crime of insurance fraud is health care benefits fraud. This crime involves knowingly obtaining or attempting to obtain health care benefits by deception from a health care insurance provider, other than a governmental agency.
The crime of aggravated insurance fraud will be charged when an individual commits insurance fraud three or more times within an 18-month period arising out of separate instances or transactions. This heightened offense can also give rise to conspiracy charges if the circumstances indicate organization of fraud.Punishment for Insurance Fraud in Illinois
Insurance fraud is punished by the value of the property obtained or attempted to be obtained from the insurance company. If you defraud or attempt to defraud the insurance company of $300 or less, it is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $2,500. Fraud between $300 and $10,000 is a Class 3 felony, punishable by a minimum of two years in prison and up to five years, along with a fine of up to $25,000. If the insurance fraud exceeds $100,000, it is a Class 1 felony. Class 1 felonies are serious offenses, punished by a minimum of four years in prison and a maximum of 15, along with fines of up to $25,000.
Health care fraud is punished as a Class A misdemeanor, while aggravated insurance fraud is always a Class 1 felony, regardless of the value of the property obtained or attempted to be obtained.
With any misdemeanor or felony conviction, it is important that defendants understand the conviction will become a part of their criminal record. This record is visible to employers, schools, military institutions, and others. A felony conviction can greatly impact your employment future.Types of Insurance Fraud
Insurance fraud can be committed against a wide range of industries. Some of the most common types of insurance fraud include:
- Automobile insurance fraud
- Medical insurance fraud
- Life insurance fraud
- Workers’ compensation fraud
- Property insurance fraud
- Fire insurance fraud
Insurance fraud can encompass the filing of entirely false claims or the filing of claims based on false information. For instance, an individual may be charged with automobile insurance fraud if he or she filed a claim falsifying or exaggerating their injuries. A charge could also result if the defendant staged the accident, then attempted to collect benefits. A property insurance fraud claim may arise if a homeowner set their house on fire and attempted to claim insurance benefits. Insurance fraud charges are often multiple faceted and complex.Defense Against Insurance Fraud Charges
Insurance fraud is not a charge to be taken lightly, but there are several viable defenses you may be able to raise if charged with this crime. Your exact defense will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case. Potential defenses against an insurance fraud charge include:
Insufficient evidence— the prosecutor has the burden of proving each element of the crime of insurance fraud. If you and your attorney can cast sufficient doubt on the prosecutor’s case and call attention to crucial evidence that might be missing in the case, you may avoid conviction for the crime.
Absence of intent— the crime of insurance fraud requires an element of knowledge. You must knowingly obtain insurance benefits through deception. If you accidently made an error in filing your insurance claim, a conviction for insurance fraud will not stand. Your attorney can help you to prove your lack of fraudulent intent.
Lack of fraud— not all false statements can give rise to the level of fraud. Mere expressions of opinion in an insurance claim should not be considered fraudulent. If the allegedly deceptive statement or claim does not, in fact, rest on a fraudulent assertion, the charge may be dropped.
A skilled criminal defense attorney will be able to review the facts and circumstances surrounding your charge and develop the strongest defense possible when armed with this information. Your criminal defense attorney may attempt to combat the charges at an early stage and fight for dismissal of charges that lack sufficient evidence. In other cases, your attorney may be able to negotiate for lower charges and a minimal sentence in exchange for a guilty plea. At times, your case may proceed to trial where your attorney will present exculpatory evidence and attack the prosecutor’s case to obtain an acquittal. It is important that anyone charged with insurance fraud seek legal assistance as soon as possible so that critical evidence can be gathered and an effective defense mounted in the crucial early days of the case. Your prompt action could mean the difference between prison time and large fines or dismissal of the case early on.Speak to Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney David L. Freidberg Today!

London, UK; 24 May 2021
- Partners Group established ISP in 2013 and has built the Company into one of the largest K-12 international school groups globally
- OMERS will join Partners Group as a shareholder in ISP, acquiring a significant minority stake
- The shareholders will continue to support the business, accelerating growth through ISP's buy-and-build strategy and ongoing value creation initiatives
Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, is expanding the shareholder base of International Schools Partnership ("ISP" or "the Company"), a leading international group of K-12 schools. Incoming shareholder OMERS, the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in the Province of Ontario, has agreed to acquire a 25% stake in the Company. Partners Group will continue to hold a majority stake in the Company on behalf of its clients. The transaction values ISP at an enterprise value of EUR 1.9 billion.
Partners Group formed UK-headquartered ISP in 2013 with the intention of creating a leading international school group through a buy-and-build strategy, capitalizing on the opportunities for consolidation in the K-12 school market. Building on its extensive investment experience in education, Partners Group teamed up with a seasoned management team, led by CEO Steve Brown, which has a highly successful track record in the sector. Today, ISP is the fifth largest K-12 international school group globally, operating 50 schools across 15 countries and serving more than 45,000 pupils. ISP's schools seek to be the 'school of choice' in their local area and put learning at the heart of everything they do. Partners Group's entrepreneurial governance approach has been crucial in building an organization which aspires to deliver world-class learning globally.
David Layton, Co-CEO, Partners Group, says: "ISP is a textbook example of entrepreneurial ownership and transformational investing in action. Having invested extensively in the education sector, we saw the potential to create a leading K-12 school platform supported by growing global demand for high quality education. We had sufficient conviction to back a great management team and get to work to build a business from the ground up. Today, we are pleased to welcome OMERS as a shareholder to ISP, which is already one of the largest K-12 school groups globally and still has significant growth potential ahead of it."
The funds raised from ISP's shareholder expansion will predominantly be used to continue the Company's platform-building strategy. Given its knowledge of ISP, Partners Group will continue to lead the implementation of the value creation plan, together with the Company's management team. During ISP's next stage of growth, the key value creation initiatives will be the ongoing investment in learning and technology, further improvements to the physical infrastructure of schools to improve the student experience, and M&A.
Steve Brown, Chief Executive Officer, International Schools Partnership, comments: "We are proud of what we have achieved at ISP, where we have the goal of creating 'schools of choice' for parents worldwide that deliver the best possible learning experience to our students. We see ample opportunity to continue our growth trajectory and are delighted to continue our partnership with Partners Group and to welcome our new partner OMERS."
Jonathan Mussellwhite, Senior Managing Director, OMERS European Private Equity, says: "Over the last 15 years, OMERS Private Equity has successfully executed on a strategy of partnering with top management teams at industry-leading companies to support accelerated growth. ISP is a great fit for this strategy, with its portfolio of schools of choice and the strength and experience of its leadership team. We are excited by the addition of ISP to our portfolio as we continue to look for opportunities to deploy capital across Europe and build our European Private Equity business."
Andrew Deakin, Managing Director, Partners Group, adds: "Our purpose when we started ISP was to inspire students and equip them to be successful. Over the last eight years, as we have built the business from scratch, we have balanced strong growth with ensuring the business develops at a sustainable pace. As a result, the Company today has a growing portfolio of assets with long-term revenue visibility. We will maintain this emphasis on sustainable growth with our new partner." | <urn:uuid:075d3616-5795-47aa-a14e-fc63120e1ebd> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.partnersgroup.com/de/news-meinungen/medienmitteilungen/investitionsmitteilungen/translate-to-deutsch-detail/article/partners-group-expands-international-schools-partnerships-shareholder-base-to-accelerate-future-growth-2/ | 2021-09-22T23:32:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057403.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20210922223752-20210923013752-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.952313 | 845 |
