This article is created in cooperation with Renaissance Periodization, a company that worked with 4 of the top 21 female athletes last year at the 2017 CrossFit Games™. They also created the nutrition program for Sara Sigmundsdottir that powered her to a 4th place finish in the same year, and they fuel Rich Froning and The CrossFit Mayhem Team.
Additionally, Shelley Eddington won the CrossFit Games™ as a Master in 2016 (50 -54 category) under their guidance, and they also work with Kari Pearce and BK Gudmundsson among many other top Athletes.
THE PRINCIPLES OF SHEDDING FAT
In principle, losing weight will occur when you expend more calories than you consume.
This is a scientific fact, however the reality of applying this in day-to-day life is, of course, much more complex.
So how do you reach your specific goal? Everyone is different and whether you want to lose fat, improve performance, build muscle or just improve functional performance, these principles are important for you to understand and apply.
STRUCTURING A DIET
TIP: The first 2 points are the most important and will account for 75 – 80% of your success.
Make sure that you dial these in before thinking about the other aspects of your nutrition. These are calorie balance and macronutrients. Notice on the chart below how these factors measure up against the others to construct your overall nutrition in terms of importance.
1. CALORIE BALANCE
Calorie balance is the ratio between calories taken in and calories expended in any one individual at any given time. It is a good idea to measure this out over the course of a week to cancel out most fluctuations, such as drinking more water.
TIP: When measuring fat loss (or muscle gain) over time, weigh yourself first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything. Measure your weight 2-3 times per week and record all results. This will give you a clear and consistent record of your progress.
There are 3 states of calorie balance:
- Negative calorie balance (hypocaloric diet)
- Calorie balance (eucaloric diet)
- Positive Calorie balance (hypercaloric diet)
It is impossible to be in more than one of these states at any one time.
- A negative calorie balance will always result in weight loss. “Even though body water alterations may occasionally mask this loss of tissue, it is always going to occur, with ZERO exceptions so far discovered.”
- A eucalorie balance means that the athlete will not gain or lose weight because they expend as many calories as they consume.
- A positive calorie balance means that the individual is consuming more calories than they are using.
In order to maximize your chances for muscle gain or fat loss, you must know when and how to enter a hypo, hyper, or eucaloric state.
This can be dauting at first, but help is always on hand when you want to learn more. If a diet is truly hypocaloric, it will ALWAYS result in weight loss over the medium and long term. This links back to the primary principle of weight loss that we outlined above.
To put it simply, if your weight is steadily rising, you’re hypercaloric. If your weight is stable, you’re eucaloric, and if your weight is steadily falling, you’re in a hypocaloric state.
2. CORRECT MACRONUTRIENTS
The second most important factor for transforming yourself is to consume the correct macronutrients to support your body and the goals that you are working towards. These consist of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Having the right ratio between these three parts of your nutrition will differ depending on your exact goal, weight, sex, age, height and the way that you train.

Renaissance Periodization take all this into consideration and give you a flexible template that will teach you exactly what ratio of these macronutrients you will need to eat. This alternates between individuals, based on the factors above, and will be personally tailored to make sure that you achieve your exact goal. It is broken down into simple meals, foods and quantities that you need to be eating at any given time during your transformation.
When it comes to macronutrients, the following points are important to consider
- Protein is the most important macronutrient for muscle gain and retention
- About 1g of protein per pound of body weight is best for most people
- Healthy fats are needed for health and hormonal function
- Healthy fats are the main macro added during massing phases and removed during cutting (fat loss)
- Carbs are secondary to protein but very important to fuelling and recovering hard workouts
- Higher carbs should be eaten with higher workout volumes and daily activity levels
The word protein originates from the Greek ‘protos’, which means ‘the first’. Proteins are the basic building blocks of the human organism. All tissues and organs contain proteins and they are essential for fat loss and muscle gain. Additionally, proteins also fulfil important signalling functions in the neural system.
Examples of healthy sources of protein
- Egg Sources (cooked, not raw)
- Meats (beef, pork)
- Poultry (chicken, turkey)
- Fish and Seafood
- Soy Protein and Quinoa
- Strategically Combined Plant Sources (beans and rice)
- Whey Protein Isolate
- Whey Protein Concentrate
The Amino acid tryptophan, included in the proteins from chicken or turkey meat, is important for production of serotonin, which is an important neurotransmitter, and melatonin, which regulates the sleep cycle.

Albumin is a reserve protein, which regulates distribution of nutrients and maintains the pressure in the blood capillaries. Low albumin levels can signal liver disease or problems with processing the nutrients. A high level of albumin is typical during dehydration.
Transferrin is a transport protein for iron. It is related to immunity-boosting lactoferrin, which can be found in whey protein supplements with lower degree of processing (concentrate).
A high protein diet can contribute towards fat loss, so whether you are wanting to lose weight or build muscle (or both), protein is absolutely essential.
Carbohydrates seem to have acquired an unjustly poor reputation, but they are the preferred fuel source for our bodies and brains. Without the proper amount of carbohydrates in your nutrition you will lack the necessary energy to train hard. Carbohydrates also supply the nervous system with its preferred fuel, refuel glycogen stores and help the body to secrete insulin – all important functions.
What you should know is that there are two types of carbohydrates:
- Simple carbohydrates
- Complex carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates will supply you with a slow burning supply of energy. They typically have a lower Glycemic Index (the rate at which energy is released – measured in blood glucose levels) and will not give you spikes in your insulin levels. This in turn means you will avoid the inevitable crashes that follow the consumption of food and drinks that have a high Glycemic Index.
With your meal template from Renaissance Periodization, carbohydrates are divided into healthy carbs (whole grain bread, rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes etc) and workout carbs (fruit juice, coconut water etc). The former supply your body with the necessary energy for recovery and performance and the latter will give you a boost for each training session.
Fat sources heavy in monounsaturated fats are some of the healthiest calories you can take in. Foods high in monounsaturated fats include olive and canola oils, avocado, natural nut butters, and almost all raw nuts including peanuts and almonds. Monounsaturated fats and the foods that contain them are exceptional for general health. There is a conventional myth that you should cut all fats out of your diet if you want to lose weight. This is a spurious idea, as healthy fats are essential for hormonal health and effective brain function alongside many other benefits.
TIP: While proteins and carbs have 4 calories per gram, fats contain 9.
3. NUTRIENT TIMING
Nutrient timing means determining when during a day it is best for your body to consume the nutrients it needs (in accordance with your goals). This is best understood when it is split into meal frequency and timing in relation to activity.
This can be broken down even further into the 3 macro nutrients, and how often should they be consumed and in what portions throughout the day.
“So long as you get your calories and macros right, timing is a much smaller concern, responsible for at most about 20% and possibly as little as 10% to the total impact of a diet plan.”
Points to consider
- Fats and fibre should be largely avoided close to or during the workout
- Any number of meals works well, but best results are likely in the 4-6 meal range per day
- As long as protein is eaten in all meals, post-workout protein timing may not matter
- Eating most of your daily carbs pre, during, and post workout seems to have a small advantage
4. FOOD COMPOSITION
This refers to the quality of the food, and the way that you combine foods to create meals.
For proteins this relates to the bioavailability of the nutrients, for carbohydrates it refers to the fibre quality and the Glycemic Index. With fats a good rule of thumb is to try and stay away from Tran Saturated fats (fast food etc) and consume Monosaturated (Avocado, nuts and their butters, olive oil) and Healthy Saturated fats (Coconut/macadamia nut oils, grass fed animal fats) wherever possible.
ESTABLISHING A TEMPLATE RATHER THAN A MEAL PLAN
Generally, a meal plan will tell you exactly what to eat and when to eat it. However, although it works in theory, a rigid, inflexible plan usually does not often survive the demands of family life, a career, changeable training hours and the unforeseen circumstances that are part and parcel of a contemporary life. Unless you are a full time professional athlete, they can be almost impossible to fulfil, therefore, your goals will not be achieved.
A meal template is just as (if not more so) detailed, but adjusts according to your precise lifestyle and goals. All Renaissance Periodization templates can be specially tailored to suit your exact goals, from fat loss to muscle gain, but follow the same tried and tested principles. They are based on your sex, bodyweight, height and age.
TRANSITION PERIODS WITHIN THE TEMPLATES
They include phases that adjust the precise amounts of macronutrients you will need, based on how your body is changing at that particular time. You will also be given a weekly rate at which you should be losing weight, and if you are within this rate then you know that you are on track.
If you are not losing enough based on the range that you have been given, then you can revert to the next phase within the template, and this will tighten up your nutrition even further, resulting in a faster rate of fat loss.
For example, my goal is to gain 5kg of muscle. I was supplied with a personalised template from Renaissance Periodization that consisted of the following 5 phases.
- Muscle gain 1
- Muscle gain 2
- Muscle gain 3
- New base
Once I have adjusted to the base template then I will progress onto muscle gain 1. At this stage the desired weekly rate of gain is between 0.25lb and 1lb (0.11kg and 0.45kg) per week. If it slows to below this range of growth then I progress onto muscle gain 2, which will provide a different calorie balance and macronutrient ratio in order to speed up the rate of muscle gain.
In the case of fat loss, the temple would have a similar structure, but you would progress through various fat loss stages (1,2 and 3) before reaching your desired goal. The new base would then be a template for your new weight. Your caloric intake will be calculated appropriately, but this may change over time, and that will be included in the template itself. This also makes the entire template easier to stick to.
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR GOAL WEIGHT AND AVOID THE RETURN TO BAD HABITS ONCE THE DIET IS COMPLETE
One general problem with most diets is than even when any individual sticks to a program religiously, once it has been completed, then it is easy to slip back into bad habits and regain the weight that has been lost.
The in-built transition periods of the Renaissance Periodization Templates that I described above are designed to help combat and overcome this problem.
Once you have achieved your desired results, you then adapt to the new base template that will help you to maintain your newly achieved weight.
The templates allow you to:
- Establish and maintain consistency and healthy, long-term habits
- Pick the foods you like from a pre-approved list of options
- Change your nutrition at a rate that suits you
- Achieve your exact goal whether you are a total beginner or an experienced athlete
For example, if you are a CrossFit athlete looking to build muscle because you are not as strong as you would like to be, but you also need to maintain consistently high-performance levels, then the calorie balance and macronutrient ratio will be carefully calculated to ensure that your body is fed with enough protein, whilst also maintaining a high enough level of fats and carbohydrates to fuel performance.
If you want to lose fat, making gigantic changes all in one go is the best way to make this process harder than it needs to be.
The formation of positive eating habits, of building an understanding of the right food choices, of establishing the 80% combination of the correct caloric intake and macro nutrient ratio are all programmed into the template itself in order to ensure a positive routine and the achievement of your respective goal.
Renaissance Periodization work with athletes and individuals of all ability levels, backgrounds and sports and help them achieve their own personal goals.
They offer introductory level ebooks, nutrition templates and a premium one to one coaching service, depending on your exact requirements.
The latter is the service that athletes such as Sara Sigmundsdottir and BK Gudmundsson have utilised to great effect. So, if you are serious about losing fat, building muscle, improving performance and transforming your body, then now is the time to act and take a step on the journey towards becoming the best version of yourself!

“I reject the letter. I want my husband, my family. I will try my best to negotiate rather than seek legal help,” the actress told Glitz on Thursday. A day earlier, lawyer Sheikh Sirajul Islam confirmed to reporters that his client Shakib had served a divorce letter on Apu on Nov 22.
In the letter, Shakib alleged Apu “went abroad with her boyfriend”, leaving her 14-month-old son locked at home with a house help.
During her interview with Glitz, Apu dismissed the claim of having a boyfriend and said she had gone to Shiliguri.
“The allegation that I left Abraham locked at home with a house help is absurd. Can a mother do that to her child?” asked Apu.
Apu called for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s intervention in the matter.
“It is no longer a family matter. We are being discussed at public gatherings. People do get inspired by stars. I am facing injustice despite being a familiar face. Think about other ordinary women. So I want our caring leader to stand by these women.”
Apu called on journalists not to crowd her house every now and then.
“Divorce is a sensitive issue for women. Please do not crowd outside my house. People get disturbed. I live here with a child.
“Call me up instead. Wait if I do not answer. I am not going anywhere,” added the actress.
The divorce between Apu and Shakib will go into effect after 90 days of issuance of the letter, which is Feb 22. Shakib can reverse his decision in the meantime, his lawyer has said. | <urn:uuid:e2fcf413-1a69-43a0-aaba-8c72f7e222cb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bdnews24.com/entertainment/2017/12/07/apu-desperate-to-save-marriage-with-co-star-shakib-for-their-son | 2022-08-17T16:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573029.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817153027-20220817183027-00216.warc.gz | en | 0.978555 | 356 |
I am... friendship, truth and respect!
We build our school on strong Christian values, supporting our children and families as members of the Wargrave community and the wider world. We trust God to guide both children and adults to reach their full potential, in a nurturing loving environment.
Our school has good links with Emmanuel Wargrave Church and the children attend services each term. Occasionally, services are also held in school. Reverend Val comes in to school on a weekly basis to deliver worship to either Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2.
The children also have the opportunity to go to other local churches in the team ministry as part of the R.E curriculum. For example, Year 2 look at the layout and the features of a Christian church, paying close attention to the altar, the pulpit and the stained-glass windows whilst other year groups have the opportunity to participate in the Christmas Journey and Easter Experience.
Eucharist is held in school or at Emmanuel Wargrave for children and staff on a termly basis.
Services and events for children and families are held at Emmanuel Wargrave and all are welcome to these – they are publicised within school and a number of children attend these, particularly those on the Ethos Team.
"Go in peace to love and serve the Lord."
Our school Christian values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
The values were selected by the families, staff and friends of Wargrave Church of England Primary School and Emmanuel Wargrave. Each term we focus on a specific whole school Christian value and celebrate these in our weekly Celebration Worship.
Our core values are: I am...
Our School Prayer
This is Wargrave Church of England School
Let peace live here,
The let the rooms be full of happiness
Let love live here
Love of one another, love of mankind, love of life itself and love of God

By Anna Von Reitz
My cats have often astounded me with their forthright reactions to things. If they really, really don’t like a visitor to my house, they will pee on him or her and help assure a prompt removal of the Offender. If they encounter something truly objectionable in the shared environment, they will reliably vomit on it, thus drawing my (unavoidable) attention to the pertinent issues.
I’ve had to apologize–vaguely— for “losing” contract proposals as a result of their un-politically correct demise at the paws and jaws of certain felines. Invariably, when the cat vomit has been scraped off, I have discovered that the immediately underlying contract language of the offer was deceitful.
Though crude, the Cat Method of communicating when something or someone is dreadfully wrong, is effective and attention-provoking — a regular silent fire alarm. I wish to provoke a somewhat similar attention-getting response with my headline today, with similar urgency.
On March 26, 2020, Microsoft applied for an International Patent with WIPO — a patent for a body-interfaced cryptocurrency, using an implanted microchip connected to a cloud computer system, which also just happens to collect “biometric data” — your DNA sequence, blood, electrical synapse activity, etc., etc., etc. The WIPO Patent Application Number just happens to be: 060606.
So. Bill Gates has aimed at nothing less than total invasion of your biological privacy and control of your ability to buy, sell, or trade anything.
Smoking gun, anyone?
Bill Gates is an international criminal who has purposefully misused and abused and misdirected the resources of Microsoft, Incorporated, to promote criminal control and surveillance objectives. He needs to be arrested without further delay and brought to trial for crimes against humanity already committed.
Bill Gate’s evil and invasive control system agenda which is apparently still being pursued by Microsoft, needs to be permanently derailed—if necessary, via liquidation of Microsoft and WIPO as crimes syndicates engaged in promoting illegal surveillance and control systems, and the protection of profit from these repugnant activities via the issuance of criminal patents.
It’s not just the “National Security” of every national government on Earth that is at stake here, it’s your right to your own life, to your bodily privacy, to your “common right” to buy, sell, and trade without any corporate eye in the sky being involved.
It’s time to smash Microsoft into the dirt for this, along with all the executives, engineers, “future planners” and attorneys that had a hand in this.
Let’s also give a big Hairball Award to The Council on Foreign Relations— the leadership of which also needs to be arrested for promotion of illegal and repugnant population control and eugenics agendas– for their latest propaganda in their publication “Foreign Affairs” attempting to gin up a jihad against China for criminal activities that they have themselves been promoting.
The Pot does too often call the Kettle black.
They chose China as the point source to start their corona virus crappola, thinking that that would be sufficient to blackmail China and grease the wheels to blame China for the whole 5G “pandemic” debacle — but it is backfiring on them.
More and more pieces of the puzzle come in and get put in place:
George Soros funding the lab in Wuhan.
Anthony Fauci funding it and providing the biological feedstocks for it.
Bill Gates investing in the virus strains and vaccine manufacturing and microchip technology.
All of it. All of them. The whole “picture”.
One does not have to be a cat to experience rising gorge when confronted with such obvious malicious, self-interested, inhumane, profit-motivated behavior.
And one does not need a ten hour tutorial to understand what these men intended for humanity, or need to ponder a great deal over which institutions and organizations have assisted and promoted their anti-human and anti-human rights agenda.

Corona Endgame: Forced Vaccinations And Total Control And Surveillance Over Our Lives | By Chuck Baldwin
Anyone who has bought into the hype that all of these government lockdowns, a ruined economy, suppression of our liberties, and a total disruption of our way of life, are for the purpose of saving lives, has drunk some serious kool-aid. We are supposed to believe that the same people who are enthusiastically promoting the killing of over 60 million unborn babies without so much as a modicum of conscience are somehow crying crocodile tears of compassion because people (including babies) MIGHT die from a flu-like virus? What poppycock!
As I pointed out in my column last week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo admitted that the corona scare was a government exercise (read: a practice run-through for something bigger). It was an exercise for total government control over our lives. This has been the agenda of Big Government statists in both political parties for decades. With constant fearmongering and hysteria from Big Government hacks in the mainstream media over the coronavirus, the power elite has taken the American people further down the road to serfdom and slavery than any previous attempt.
And I will say it again: This plan would not have worked had Donald Trump not been in the White House. This plan totally depended on evangelical pastors and churches sheepishly going along with it. This they would not have done had a liberal Democrat been in the White House. Are you kidding? Commanding churches to cancel their services—no communions, no baptisms, no Easter services—a total shutdown of houses of worship nationwide? Are you kidding me? You and I both know that if Hillary Clinton were president and she had said that no more than ten people could assemble in church—or anywhere else, for that matter—pastors and Christians would have protested in the streets and would have defiantly continued their public services en masse. But, because Donald Trump issued the declaration, almost the entire evangelical world bowed the knee to the state without a whimper.
The rest was easy. Restaurant closures, business closures, school closures, travel restrictions, rationed medical care, and empty hospitals: Once evangelicals had been neutralized, there was no resistance.
Even so-called patriot leaders such as Oath Keepers Founder and President Stewart Rhodes joined the chorus of Big Government shills calling for government lockdown of our lives. Rhodes’ open letter to governors could have been easily written by Big Pharma Fascist Anthony Fauci.
By the way, on April 3—after reading Stewart’s Naziesque letter--I resigned my position as National Chaplain of Oath Keepers.
And speaking of Fauci, this little tyrant along with Mr. Global Government himself, Bill Gates, have positioned themselves to make billions of dollars in profits from government-mandated forced vaccinations, which they are both screaming for. And make no mistake about it: Anthony Fauci knows exactly what he’s doing.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and Chairman of Children’s Health Defense) wrote:
“Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed [sic] his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy.”++++
Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems to be fueled by a conviction to save the world with technology.
Promising his share of $450 million of $1.2 billion to eradicate polio, Gates took control of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI), which mandated up to 50 doses (Table 1) of polio vaccines through overlapping immunization programs to children before the age of five. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped precipitously.
In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reluctantly admitted that the global explosion in polio is predominantly vaccine strain. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines, are all linked to vaccines. In fact, by 2018, 70% of global polio cases were vaccine strain.
In 2009, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces.
Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates-funded researchers committed pervasive ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.
In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a phase 3 trial of GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects, including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions, to 1,048 of the 5,949 children.
During Gates’ 2002 MenAfriVac campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates’ operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Approximately 50 of the 500 children vaccinated developed paralysis. South African newspapers complained, “We are guinea pigs for the drug makers.” Nelson Mandela’s former senior economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates’ philanthropic practices as “ruthless and immoral.”
In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI, and PATH, Gates funds a private pharmaceutical company that manufactures vaccines and is donating $50 million to 12 pharmaceutical companies to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine. In his recent media appearances, Gates appears confident that the Covid-19 crisis will now give him the opportunity to force his dictatorial vaccine programs on all American children – and adults.
There you have it, folks. THAT’S the end game: forced vaccinations and total surveillance over our lives. The exercise in universal digital tracking (via cell phones) under the guise of protecting people from corona is already being practiced in Israel.
All of these media hacks fomenting panic and fear; all of these government lockdowns; all of these school closures, business closures and stay-at-home orders are NOT about protecting us from a flu virus. They are all about preparing us for mandated vaccines and total government surveillance and control over our lives—including our jobs, our families, our education, our religious practices, our medical care and our travel.
As it turns out, it looks like the tyrants don’t need to confiscate our firearms after all in order to enslave us. Pastors and churches are leading the way for America’s voluntary enslavement—all in the name of safety.
What was it that Benjamin Franklin said?
P.S. If you missed it, here is an excellent video from a 30-year veteran physician on how the CDC has instructed doctors to fudge corona death numbers upward on death certificates. This video has been viewed over 2 million times on various platforms. How good is it? It’s so good that Facebook is calling it “false news.”
As you can imagine, Dr. Bukacek is now the target of an orchestrated campaign by the liberal media to have her removed from her position on the local board of health.
We have created an online petition in support of Dr. Bukacek. I am asking all of my readers to please go vote in support of one of the finest medical doctors in the entire Flathead Valley (Montana).
In fact, Dr. Bukacek is the reigning “Best Family Physician of the Flathead” as voted by residents. And, no, you don’t have to be a resident of the Flathead Valley to sign the online petition.
Please take a minute to add your name to this online petition and support this courageous truth-telling doctor.
Here is the online petition in support of Dr. Annie Bukacek.

The Genocide of the Souls — The Pitesti Phenomenon (1949-1951)
“However, what has not yet become universal knowledge is the fact that in the Romanian Gulag Archipelago there was an island of absolute horror, such as existed nowhere else in the entire geography of the communist penitentiary system: Pitesti Prison.” – Virgil Ierunca, Pitesti Phenomenon.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the 1970 Nobel Prize laureate for literature, refers to the Pitesti experiment as the “most terrible act of barbarism in the contemporary world”.
Historian François Furet, member of the French Academy, regards the Pitesti phenomenon as “one of the most terrible experiments in dehumanisation that our epoch has known”.
Between 1949 and 1951, the destruction of society”s elite was almost complete: intellectuals, diplomats, priests, officers, magistrates, policemen, and politicians of the “bourgeois-landowner regime” were in prison; the most industrious peasants had been deported to forced labour camps. Collectively and individually, they were all labelled “enemies of the people”. It now remained to annihilate the unpredictable social force of youth. For the latter, the Pitesti experiment was invented (termed “re-education” by the Securitate). The most barbarous methods of psychological torture were applied to “recalcitrant” young prisoners, with the object of making them reciprocally humiliate each other, physically abuse each other and mentally torture each other. Victims were transformed into executioners; prisoners were tortured by their own friends, by their fellows in suffering. The purpose: “re-education” through physical and psychical destruction, the transformation of young people into atheists, into informers on their friends.
For more information, watch an excellent documentary: BEYOND TORTURE — The gulag of Pitesti ROMANIA at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QGUTBXgz3g
“When you said, ‘I still believe in God,’ in five minutes you were full of blood”. – Roman Braga
“Many of us died, many of us became mad, but in some of us the good triumphed”. – George Calciu
These chilling words from two survivors of a brainwashing prison in Pitesti, Romania are sad reminders of the legacy of Stalinist communism. Beyond Torture: The Gulag of Pitesti, Romania documents the persecution of Romanians under the communist regime. Electrical shock, hallucinogenic drugs, near starvation and fatal beatings were daily rituals in the prison of Pitesti, Romania. But this sadistic story goes beyond torture: this was an attempt to totally destroy a people’s culture and faith.
In 1949, Stalinist Soviets began a systematic sweep of Romanian college campuses. Their purpose was to imprison and transform young Romanians into a communistic way of thinking. One prisoner describes this re-education as the most vile tortures imaginable. Orthodox priest Father George Calcui says, “They tried to destroy our souls.” But he and others survived this gulag, lived to tell their stories and even forgave their captors.
In this documentary, you’ll meet three survivors from the prison of Pitesti and see shocking paintings that capture the essence of the extreme torture. This documentary also includes an in-depth one-hour interview with Father Roman Braga: prison survivor and spiritual leader. Don’t expect a typical tale of woe. What comes through from the priests being interviewed — most especially Fr. Roman Braga, now in America — is a surprising theme: forgiveness…and even joy.
Outside of Romania, this DVD is the first major historical documentation of the Pitesti experience. | <urn:uuid:5c5c25b2-d97e-441d-8eb6-3f8c66b3fbf5> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://orthodoxcityhermit.com/tag/torture/ | 2020-06-04T02:33:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347436828.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200604001115-20200604031115-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.94611 | 821 |

LEISURE group Rank warned that annual profits will be lower than last year.
The problems have come as its Blue Square sports betting and bingo operations continued to offset growth at its Hard Rock Cafe chain.
Rank reported "similar" trading trends to those seen in the first half, with increases in the minimum wage and higher energy costs still affecting margins at Mecca bingo.
Although revenues growth at Grosvenor Casinos accelerated since the start of October, it said it was too early to say how much of this was driven by the relaxation of gaming laws.
The group said it expected profits to be slightly lower than last year, in line with analysts' expectations after underlying profits fell in the first half of its financial year.
The company owns 36 Grosvenor casinos, some 120 Mecca bingo halls and more than 100 Hard Rock Cafes in 38 countries. | <urn:uuid:092d1798-ac5b-42af-8981-dc264491b95b> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/rank-warns-of-profits-slump-1094763 | 2017-03-26T04:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189092.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00515-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974079 | 178 |

A recent collaborative study led by Heart Research Australia’s Professor Gemma Figtree,, has found that there is an increasing proportion of heart attack patients without any standard risk factors, such as high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking.
The risk of having a heart attack is 17 times higher in the seven days following a respiratory infection, University of Sydney research has found. Published recently in Internal Medicine Journal, this is the first study to report an association between respiratory infections such as pneumonia, influenza and bronchitis and increased risk of heart attack

Thora Birch, Steve Buscemi, Scarlett Johansson
Special edition widescreen; closed caption; French, Spanish, English subtitles; "Making of 'Ghost World'" featurette; deleted and alternate scenes; Gumnaam music video, "Jaan Pehechaan Ho"; original theatrical trailer.
|Thora Birch, memorable as the sullen, disaffected suburban daughter in "American Beauty," is even better as malcontent teen Enid the main protagonist in the poignant, funny movie adaptation of artist/writer Daniel Clowes' "Ghost World" comic. The relationship between Enid and her best friend Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) is built on their hipper-than-thou attitude toward the rest of the world. They think of themselves as outsiders who don't fit the conventional mold, but they're not beyond pulling a cruel prank on fellow misfit Seymour (nerd-perfect Steve Buscemi), a lonely, middle-aged collector of 78-rpm records. Director Terry Zwigoff ("Crumb") co-wrote the script with Clowes, and the narrative structure they devised gives dramatic weight to Enid's growing connection with Seymour, who is just a peripheral character in the comic. Set during the summer after the girls graduate from high school, the film is a crafty contemplation of comrades-in-cool growing up and apart.| | <urn:uuid:f10838d4-a05a-4a1f-977f-485924e8abfa> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://www.neumu.net/cinematronic/dvd/cinema_dvd_00113.shtml | 2018-02-20T21:13:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813109.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20180220204917-20180220224917-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.932475 | 284 |

With the dust still settling on the Olivier Awards 2019, the satirical play Home, I’m Darling took home the award for Best New Comedy, beating out other nominees such as Nine Night and Quiz.
In a picture perfect dolls house kitted out with all authentic fifties decor (from eBay) we are introduced to Johnny and Judy the sickeningly perfect couple who are “appalling happy.” That is until you see Judy pull out her MacBook and you begin to see things for what they really are.
Judy is living in a fantasy. In the 21st century she is desperate to be transported back to the fifties. She has wrapped herself up in this world whilst blindly denying it, “It’s not a lifestyle.”
Since quitting her job three years ago Judy busied herself each day, fussing over her husband, cooking, cleaning, baking and reading her version of the Bible, Kay Smallshaw’s 1949 How to Run Your Home Without Help. It seems all good to be true and when money problems arise Judy’s world is shaken.
Both themes of feminism and gender politics are addressed in various ways… What constitutes inappropriate behaviour in the workplace? Is the work that Judy does at home valued as much as the job Johnny has? What happens when another woman comes on the scene? This play challenges gender roles and addresses them in a way very different from our current outlook on feminism. It’s a fresh angle on a current topic.
Katherine Parkinson (Judy) is most known for playing Jen in the IT Crowd. She creates an intriguing Judy, and you’re left wondering why her motives in the play are what they are. Her subtleties within the character are brilliant, from her twee bouncy walk to her indulgent skirt swishing and spinning.
Jo Stone-Fewings (Johnny) is the husband so heavily doted upon. You feel sorry for him, as despite living what seems like a life of luxury, he is clearly unhappy. He grounds the fifties world and makes Judy see sense.
There is a brilliant monologue from the mother Sylvia, played by Susan Brown, who brought some gritty realism to an airy fairy fantasy with her recollections of the fifties, “bomb shaped holes” and “this is not what we fought for!” Her speech finally shattered the illusion Judy was endlessly creating by challenging her actions within the play.
Along with Judy and Johnny are their friends Fran and Marcus who both love the fifties too, although not quite as much. They jive their way through scene and costume changes to a brilliant soundtrack.
The set is something else. A brightly coloured hit of nostalgia, with not a single inch not in keeping with the fifties feel. The audience gasped as the house transformed in front of their eyes. Designer Anna Fleischle has fantastically captured and exaggerated the time period as well as incorporating some really clever elements.
This new play is a brilliant breath of fresh air. Constantly funny, packed with moments that stay with you and a unique look at an age old problem. With Laura Wade’s writing and Tamara Harvey’s direction this production has had success written across it from opening night. | <urn:uuid:31cded27-473a-466b-a676-2ff9363fe210> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.watchingfromthecheapseats.com/post/home-i-m-darling-theatre-royal-bath-review-1 | 2024-02-21T20:42:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473558.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221202132-20240221232132-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.959798 | 676 |

Hippies—the new aristocracy?
“A lot of us have been smokin’ reefers and layin’ broads in the bushes at Belle Isle for the last twenty years...and nobody ever called that a Love-In.”
Greaser and Frat Rocker and Mod Lower-middle class versus upper-middle-class America.
The struggle for the supremacy of class values among the recent Young. Both begin more or less together, as Screamies. It is the Mod who characteristically veers off to become the Teeny-Bopper and eventually the Hippie.
Soon the Greaser becomes too much for the Hippie (example of self-conscious Hippie-vulgarity: “Greasers can go kiss off ‘cause they drink liquor”). From our view, too much of the Hippie ethic ends up unconsciously in the Acid-filled bath tub with Cotton Mather, Joe McCarthy, and the candle-stick maker.
Alas, of such matters we seldom have a public dialogue, for the psychedically-Zoot-suited species of Hippie is usually very busy with his Unidentified Flying Object, and his Liquid-Enlightened Monologues.
Hippie-consciousness, from an important vantage point, is rigidly dominated by class-consciousness, an ugly reality to ponder among Lovers. Consciousness-expanding mysteriously excludes a penetration of the attitudes of the 3/4 of the world’s population presently starving.
In the hands of the bored and affluent Hippies, Love too often becomes just another tepid four-letter word, a selfish rationale for all manner of neurotic indulgence. Giving away jelly beans and flowers to the Squares seems to us very strange and Victorian, like handing out uplifting moral tracts and baskets of rotten apples to the poor.
What a weird notion they have devised: Love needs LSD.
Hippies have lots of the world’s money lurking around somewhere in their father’s pocket. From an economic point of view they are the Bad Guys, the Playboys, the Squanderers. Fidel and Fanon would have most of them put before a firing squad.
Unlike their ostensive progenitors (the Bohemians and the Beats) the Hippies shudder to identify with the working classes, the underprivileged, or the attitudes of the underdeveloped nations. The Hippie is first and foremost (perhaps unwittingly) a species of Aristocrat. His politics are conveniently metaphysical until someone rudely “hits him up side his head,” then he becomes “deeply involved” in absurd court cases ad nauseum.
The Hippie has his private Club, Handmaidens, his Health Food menu, his Bank, his Music, his Books, and his Drop-Out Up-Turned Nose. Sir Hippie conveniently eschews the world; tunes in, turns on, and drops out into his armchair next to George Pierrot and the membership of the Bourse.
Hippies are given a good deal of remarkably favorable publicity, and actually seem to make it; in the long run, with Mom and Dad. They are treated by society at large, quite appropriately, as psychological toys. Obviously they are no real threat—they are good consumers (since “money means nothing”), they don’t crowd the job market, and they are not political activists except in the most uncanny use of the term.
Instead, Hippies seem to be creating an overly simplistic Brave New World of psychic class-consciousness, e.g. my trip was better than yours, ergo I’m closer to “God,” ergo I’m better than you.
Parenthetically, I’ve yet to meet one of the highly stylized species of Hippie who can tell me anything about his best trip, anything vaguely lucid or enlightening about “God,” the universe, or himself. Too often it is the same old dreary record, something like listening to a Watch Tower pamphlet being read aloud.
The Hippie’s search for an expatriate (yet American) upper-middle-class life style (which the whole movement is all about) has become increasingly painful to watch, increasingly stylized and dull. The fashionable Hippies have already become an American platitude.
Maynard the Hippie will surely have his own television show in the fall.
In far too many ways this sometimes-admirable class-conscious search for new values is rigidly Prussian in style, rather than sympathetic and Mediterranean. The movement seems to have fallen to its knees. The renaissance has aborted. The corpus has become a hoax.
The kids coming in regularly from the suburbs would profit far more as human beings if they studied the ways of man’s humanity to man, represented more by curiosity, courage, and craftsmanship than by conformity to commercialized youth sub-cultures. Love needs genuine autonomy. Love doesn’t seem to give a damn for tole pipes and a music that moves at the threshold of pain.
Man descends from something monkey-like and playful, from some creature inexhaustibly inquisitive and frequently hostile. Hippies seem to have created, against all the complex laws of human nature, a bee-hive culture; an over-stretched honeycomb of covert attitudes populated by glassy-eyed inarticulate converts.
It seems that no beehive of freak-outs and tunnel-vision should ever contain for more than a silly-season or two the trundling whimsies and missions of the human spirit. | <urn:uuid:bf78ccb6-2a42-4fa3-8abc-325479717b58> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://fifthestate.anarchistlibraries.net/library/35-august-1-15-1967-hippies-the-new-aristocracy | 2021-02-28T21:43:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361776.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228205741-20210228235741-00021.warc.gz | en | 0.957528 | 1,176 |
I'M MAD AS HELL AND NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE!
I continue to watch the sky and continue my amazement at what goes on over our heads with little or no notice by the society living below! My family and I watch as incredible displays of strange large clouds or long lines of lingering cloud like mists covers the sky for miles until it forms with other sprayed mists to develop a complete cloud cover. We watch as without any effort to conceal what they are doing jets turn on and off the spraying so there is no question to what they are doing. It is a display that is enormous and flamboyant. Without hesitation they openly go about the business of changing our sky and most likely weather and environment.
Some day’s life is rather normal and the sky appears to be as it was during most of my lifetime. I received a few emails about two years ago from readers who told me to pay attention to the ceiling or height of the cloud cover and sky. They told me that it seemed to be much lower than it was in the 1950s and 1960s. At first I thought their statements were very odd. It did not take too many days paying attention to what was going on above our heads for me to realize to my amazement that the people who sent me those emails were absolutely right. The sky indeed did seem much higher years ago. The clouds without question were far above the point they seem to be now and the entire sky had a completely different color, feel and sensation to the one looming over head now.
The spraying is something that I think started during the late 1990s and has been part of our life since. To make the statement that they are normal and “the sky was always like that” is I am sorry to say simply idiotic. If you were alive before the 90s you clearly recall when our sky was free of jets spraying us with strange cloud forming chemicals as well as the true hue of sky blue!
The spraying continues as well as days when the sky appears to be normal with natural forming clouds abound. The question has to be what why and who is behind this massive worldwide spraying and how much does it tie in to the strange weather patterns we now are seeing. I have lived on an Island most of my life and this is the first time we have had a summer that either was so hot you could not step outside or raining. It has been the worst summer we have ever had on Long Island. Now in August which should be the prime time of our summer season it seems more like fall with cold nights and cool gray rainy days. You did not need a sweater or to walk around with an umbrella in August on this Island – until now that is!
I have included two photos I took last week. One showing a normal day over my island and the very next day a photo we took as we watched a jet start without spraying, turn on the spray and lay down a long thin white line of chemicals which stayed in place slowly bellowing out in to an odd large long cloud that twisted almost straight up across the sky. The sky was already covered with other cloud formations they placed in the sky by earlier spraying that day. How can this go on and how can so many just look at it as business as usual as they throw on their hoodie because they are so cold in August on Long Island?
Talk about strange and unknown, How about our thinking or non-thinking on this very odd intrusive situation of spraying us with god knows what for god knows what reason?
I saw an incredible ignorant fear filled denial based episode on this issue on one of those half assed self-proclaimed paranormal investigator TV shows. The host Joe Rogan had things shown to him that could not be denied yet he just did not WANT to believe it so the show went that way. After watching this show and how they handled this subject I will never turn on this show again and suggest the same for everyone else as well. Joe Rogan has no idea what he is talking about and the man is about as close to an idiot as can be on the topics he is covering. His constant snide remarks and faces are out of line and really childish. He also carefully interviewed only the people who would agree with him so he could continue his skeptical remarks and attitude. To claim planes always make clouds or trigger them is ridiculous. Why then don’t we have these strange long streams from all our air traffic forming clouds EVERYDAY, especially above the busy air traffic areas like NYC?
If silly immature people who are so quick to roll their eyes at those who have been studying these topics for years would just go tell jokes and leave these difficult subjects for those who seriously want answers we would all be better off.
Spraying of our skies takes place and has for many years. Perhaps if those doing TV shows would take time to do real research on this they may not be so quick to roll eyes at those trying to educate them.
I believe the spraying may somehow be attached to or part of HAARP as well as the odd Hum sounds I have been writing about for years that are being heard all over the world. Once again this silly show host would have known that this sound is heard all over the world if his show had done their homework and would not have needed to visit Canada to be told about it. The hum can be heard right here in good old New York. What a shame they have no idea what is going on in the subjects they ‘investigate’. I also found it extremely amusing how confused this show host became when he was informed of what HAARP can do. Here is a telegram for this host, not only can HAARP machines do the things you touched on- it can do far more. I do think bringing his skeptic pals along during the show will keep him in his arrogant self-given obnoxious face making position. Of course he and others like him are why we live in the dark ages and allow these things to happen around us. Yes weather manipulation happens and HARRP is dangerous. I also found it interesting how the number and possible locations all over the world including in the United States of the HAARP machines was not really explained. To understand HAARP is to understand Nicola Tesla and that without question is an impossible task for us mere humans. Just say it may be the machine that destroys mankind and this planet.
We need to find serious qualified people who will be protected from being ridiculed to try to find answers to all of these serious issues. Let’s give them TV budgets and shows and see what happens. As it is we are being taken for dopes and used without being asked by things that could be extremely harmful to us all.
I am mad as hell about all of these things so I write in hopes you will be too. Do not just sit there, demand answers, complain about stupid TV half assed investigations and start a movement to find the answers to all of these things hanging over our heads and invading our environment. Stop living with your head in the sand and start getting mad as hell and stop taking it any longer!
As far as Joe Rogan questioning everything- well does anyone really care what Joe thinks?

"Half a century later, now a grown-up, he still doesn't understand why he chose a career as a musician and composer instead of something else. With fluidity and idiocy, he gets involved with whomever he wants, thus avoiding any and all reductive labeling attempts. A Montréaler and a co-founder of the &records label, he stumbles around in various bands: bob, Klaxon, Pink Saliva, (juste) Claudette, and Mecha Fixes Clock. A designer associated with stage arts, he refuses to grow softer. As proof, in dance he adds his ear to the choreographies of Catherine Tardif, Sylvain Émard, Louise Bédard, Shanti Wadge, and José Navas; in theatre, he scratches his head alongside Wajdi Mouawad, Robert Lepage, Brigitte Haentjens, Éric Jean, and Martin Faucher. So what's left? He favours plants, suffers from music-loving, is rather clean overall, and tends to keep in shape."-Dame
• Show Bio for Isaiah Ceccarelli
"Isaiah Ceccarelli. Born Chetwynd, British Columbia, Canada, 1978. Residence: Montréal, Québec. Composer, Performer (drum set, percussion).
Isaiah Ceccarelli is a drummer, improviser, and composer based in Montréal. His music has been qualified as "one of the most original approaches to come through our offices in recent times" (Marc Chénard, La Scena Musicale) and he has been described as possessing "a writing style with rare personality in this musical context" (Thierry Lepin, Jazzman Magazine). He participates in numerous creative music projects with Michel F Côté, Pierre-Yves Martel, Lori Freedman, Jean Derome, Bernard Falaise, Joshua Zubot and Philippe Lauzier, amongst others. He plays with Félix Stüssi and Ray Anderson, as well as with the Acadian singer Marie-Jo Thério. Proud ambassador of a new generation of creative musicians in Québec, his collaborations have led him on tour in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Isaiah has composed music for two of his own albums, Bréviaire d'épuisements and Lieux-dits (both on the Ambiances Magnétiques label), and for ensembles and musicians such as Quatuor Bozzini, Ensemble Allogène, the violist Jennifer Thiessen, and Ensemble Kô. He sings with the Schola Saint-Grégoire (Gregorian chant).
A seasoned musician and composer, Isaiah Ceccarelli is, in the words of Charles Collard from La Scena Musicale, "a jewel in the crown of the Montréal scene and his presence is felt on several fronts at the same time."-ActuelleCD (http://www.actuellecd.com/en/bio/ceccarelli_is/)

• Show Bio for Jean Derome
"Jean Derome. Born Montréal, Québec, 1955. esidence: Montréal, Québec. Composer, Performer (saxophones (alto, baritone, soprano), flutes (flute, bass flute, piccolo, alto flute, recorders), keyboards, small wind instruments (ocarinas, jew's harp, game calls, toys...), percussion, invented instruments, voice)
One of the most active and eclectic musicians on the Canadian creative music scene, Jean Derome has managed to earn the recognition of a larger public, a rare feat in that field. Thanks to his large-scale musique actuelle projects, his compositions, his work as an improviser, his jazz groups and his music for the screen and the stage, Derome ranks as a major creative force, in Québec and abroad. He is experienced and innovative on both saxophone and flute, and his unique writing style cannot be mistaken for anyone else's. Sensitive and powerful, his music often features a funny strike that makes its complex nature more inviting.
Ever since Nébu (one of Québec's first avant-garde jazz groups) in the early '70s, Derome has been consistently renewing and diversifying his approach of composition. He impressed audience and critics first with the flute, then with the saxophone, as a lead character in the musique actuelle underground. He took part to the various artists' collectives looking for new ways to express themselves freely, without esthetic or social constraints, including the Ensemble de musique improvisée de Montréal. Later, in the early '80s, he co-founded Ambiances Magnétiques, a collective and record label that raised his profile at home and introduced his name to the outside world. Among his numerous projects, let us mention the duos Les Granules, Nous perçons les oreilles and Plinc! Plonc!, the dynamic group Jean Derome et les Dangereux Zhoms, and the large-scale projects Confitures de gagaku, Je me souviens - Hommage à Georges Perec and Canot-camping. Most of these projects are based on a unique form of synergy between composition, structured improvisation and genuine creative madness, all this articulated with unmatched playfulness. In 1992, Derome became the second artist to be presented with the Freddie Stone Award (bassist Lisle Ellis was the first).
Besides improvising on a regular basis with Ambiances Magnétiques' members and appearing in their projects, Derome has also shared the stage with several musicians of international stature, among others Fred Frith, Lars Hollmer, Louis Sclavis and Han Bennink. He performs regularly all over Canada, in the US and in Europe. He received a Prix Opus in 2001 for his exposure abroad.
Lately, jazz circles have been praising his undisputable qualities as a jazzman, thanks to the Thelonious Monk tribute project Évidence, the Normand Guilbeault Ensemble (whose Mingus Erectus CD is devoted to Charles Mingus' music), and the much-lauded Derome Guilbeault Tanguay Trio.
Although Jean Derome writes tirelessly for his own projects, he is much in demand in the fields of film, theatre and dance. A short list of this side of his work would have to include his numerous scores for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), especially for films by John Walker, Jacques Leduc, Fernand Bélanger and animated films by Pierre Hébert, Michèle Cournoyer and Jean Detheux; his incidental music for Théâtre UBU, Théâtre de Quat'Sous and Théâtre du Nouveau Monde; not forgetting his work with several top choreographers, including Louise Bédard, Andrew de Lotbinière Harwood, Daniel Soulières and Ginette Laurin. Other music ensembles have commissioned works from him, including Tuyo, Bradyworks, the Hard Rubber Orchestra from Vancouver and Fanfare Pourpour. Incidentally, Derome is the musical director of the latter.
Over thirty years of music and 70 record credits later, Jean Derome still has sleeves bursting with tricks."-ActuelleCD (http://www.actuellecd.com/en/bio/derome_je/)

• Show Bio for Diane Labrosse
"Diane Labrosse. Born Montréal, Québec, 1950. Residence: Montréal, Québec. Composer, Performer (sampler, accordion, voice).
Working mainly with electronic samplers, Diane Labrosse has a very personnal approach to sounds, exploring different textures and timbres and creating an abstract but evocative music. She is a regular on several different music scenes and has performed at internationally known festivals of musique actuelle, electronic, avant-garde and improvised music all over the world (Canada, USA, Europe, Japan, Australia).
Her most recent projects take different forms: Endangered Species, a sound and visual installation/performance based on obsolete objects such as rotary dial phones and ticking alarmclocks; Dactylotactiles, performance for 3 typewriters and live video (Sébastien Cliche); Petit Bestiaire, naïve songs for a quintet (texts by Guy Marchamps); Sagesse pratique, a series of miniature pieces based on proverbs and O.V.N.I., a sign language for an improvising orchestra of variable sizes.
As a composer, using conventionnal or graphic scores, she wrote for many different ensembles: Array Music and The Burdocks (Toronto), L'Ensemble SuperMusique and Espaces Sonores Illimités (Montréal), NOW Orchestra and 999 years of Music, (Vancouver). She also wrote for less conventionnal instruments, such as ship horns (Harbour Symphonies), train whistles, air bottles and toy pianos. She worked with director Robert Lepage and co-signed (with percussionist Michel F Côté) the music for two of his plays: La Géométrie des miracles and Zulu Time.
As sound designer, she created music for dance (Louise Bédard, Crystal Pite, Andrew Harwood, Marc Boivin, Deborah Dunn, Catherine Tardif, Harold Rhéaume, Richard Siegal), film (Montréal vu par..., Pendant que les arbres tombent, L'Entrevue, Plan de fuite) and radio (Le Navire Night, Les Décrocheurs d'étoiles) and theatre (Nuit d'orage, Je suis d'un would-be pays, Bliss, 38 Contes shakespiriens...).
She has created multimedia installations for Danish company Tura-ya-moya (in situ performances in an old chalk mine), and Scottish-based Theatre Cryptic (Wall of Secrets in situ installation for 20 speakers) as well as the Centre de Musique Canadienne (a sound garden playing ramdom sound tracks on surround speakers).
In 1980, she founded Productions SuperMémé/SuperMusique with Joane Hétu and Danielle P Roger. She remained Co-Artistic Director of this company presenting many concerts and events of innovative music from 1980 to 2008. With long-time colleagues Hétu and Roger she created the groups Wondeur Brass, Justine, and Les Poules.

Following a unique artistic path, Pierre-Yves Martel is constantly renewing his musical identity and practice. Though a instrumentalist, he identifies himself first and foremost as a sound artist whose work oscillates between perpetual research and experimentation. It is in this spirit that he has revisited the viola da gamba, utilizing this traditional instrument in new contexts and thus reengaging it with the contemporary world. Having created an authentic musical language through non-conventional techniques and instrumental preparations, he also works outside of instrumental music altogether, using a variety of objects rife with new sonic possibilities, from contact-mics and speakers to motors, wheels, surfaces and textures."-ActuelleCD (http://www.actuellecd.com/en/bio/martel_pi/)

Sorry I said your name wrong
On this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thfReQLaAV8
you can see the same puzzle (Cube house), and you can hear my name correctly.
Many people do not know how to pronounce it. And thats the reason I do not correct it.
In Hungary the G+Y is one "letter" = GY and it is hard to pronounce, as well as the letters with dots and stress like Ö, Ő, Ü, Ű, É, Á, and some other double letters like NY, LY, CS ...
I know it it not a simple language.
So it is not a problem at all.
I'm just really happy to see this video with my designs. | <urn:uuid:75cdc8ea-4854-4a1d-b59f-a51bd68e8499> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21511&view=next | 2014-04-23T17:54:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223203235.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032003-00202-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949459 | 164 |
Forex Market VS Futures
The spot FX market is a $ 1.9 trillion
daily market, making it the largest and most liquid market in the world.
This market can absorb trading volume and transaction sizes that dwarf
the capacity of any other market. If you compare this to the $ 191 billion
per day futures market, it becomes clear that the futures markets provide
only limited liquidity. The spot market is always liquid, meaning positions
can be liquidated and stop orders executed without slippage.
Execution Quality and Speed
The futures market is known for inconsistent
execution, both in terms of pricing and execution time. Every futures
trader has experienced a half hour wait for a market order to be filled
that has been executed at a price far away from where the market was
supposed to be trading. Even with electronic trading and limited guarantees
of execution speed, the price for fills on market orders is far from
certain. The FX market offers instantaneous execution and price certainty.
On the FX trading station, traders execute directly off real-time streaming
prices. There is no discrepancy between the displayed price and the
execution price. This holds true even during volatile times and fast
moving markets. In the futures market, execution is uncertain because
all orders must be done on the exchange. This creates a situation where
liquidity is limited by the number of participants, which in turn limits
quantities that can be traded at a given price. Real-time streaming
prices ensure that market orders, stops, and limits are executed without
slippage and/or partial fills.
Commission Free Trading
In the futures market, traders must
pay a spread and a commission. All traded financial products have a
"bid" (buy) price, and an "ask" (sell) price, with
the difference defining the spread, or cost of execution. Up until recently,
lack of transparency in the futures market has disguised the spread.
Now online trading platforms, which show the depth of the market by
including both the buy and sell price, allow traders to see the real
cost of the trade. Because the currency market offers round-the-clock
liquidity, traders receive tight, competitive spreads both intra-day
and night. Futures traders are more vulnerable to liquidity risk and
typically receive wider dealing spreads, especially during after-hours
trading. FX day trading charges no commission or transactions fees to
trade currencies online or over the phone. The over-the-counter structure
of the currency market eliminates exchange and clearing fees, which
in turn lowers transaction costs. Costs are further reduced by the efficiencies
created by a purely electronic market place that allows clients to deal
directly with the market maker, eliminating both ticket costs and middlemen.
All clients have access to deal-able bid/ask quotes. In the futures
market, the prices represent the LAST trade, not necessarily the price
for which the contract will be filled. This lack of transparency hides
the true cost of the trade.
Reporting and Back Office
In the spot market,
traders can see the value of their positions and account equity move
up and down with the market in real time. The key information for every
account is re-calculated and updated every time the exchange rates change.
Traders have immediate access to detailed information regarding every
open position, open order, and the generated P/L per trade. Traders
also have 24-hour access to full, real-time snapshots of their account
statement since inception, or on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
basis. As a trader, this means you never have to approximate your account
equity or be uncertain in regards to available margin.
the purpose of risk management, traders must have position limits. This
number is set relative to the money in a trader?s account. Risk is minimized
in the spot FX market because the online capabilities of the trading
platform will automatically generate a margin call if the required margin
amount exceeds the dollar value of the account as a result of trading
losses. All open positions will be closed immediately regardless of
the size or the nature of positions held within the account. If the
futures market moves against you, your position may be liquidated at
a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in the account

Towel rails are an essential home accessory for the bathroom. Whether you're taking a shower and want somewhere to hang your towel and dressing gown, or are looking for a place to keep a hand towel in easy reach, a towel rail provides a convenient solution.
There are more than enough towel rails to choose from, whether you opt for adjustable, single or double designs. Various finishes ensure that they'll fit well with your bathroom's style of decoration, with both modern and traditional models available.
You can filter your search by mount type and opt for freestanding units, wall mounted, over the door, adhesive backed and suction towel rails. Keep the colour of your bathroom in mind when choosing a finish, with some popular colours being white, grey and silver and black. Choose from well known brands including Kartell, Blomus, Premier and many more.
Heated Towel Rail
Heated towel rails are offer added warmth for those bitingly cold winter mornings. They can also be used as a heater to dry clothes, depending on the size and type you buy.
Think about how much power you'll need. If you have underfloor heating and/or a radiator in the bathroom you'll be safe to go with a low power towel rail. If you have less heating in your bathroom, you may want to opt for a towel rail with a higher output.
You should also consider if you'd like your heated towel rail to be powered by electricity or dual fuel. Hydronic radiators are also an option and can be heated via hot water without the need to turn on your boiler. Other considerations include how much wall space you have available, with smaller single towel rails being more suited to a smaller bathroom and larger double units better for rooms with more space. | <urn:uuid:1b352dc8-f22a-4969-8376-dc835123e964> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Towel-Rails/20442/bn_1629905 | 2019-08-21T15:53:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027316075.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190821152344-20190821174344-00520.warc.gz | en | 0.959143 | 360 |
This particular one is located just north of Santa Teresa. In fact, it's somewhat difficult to tell where Playa Hermosa begins and Playa Santa Teresa ends. That hardly matters, though—both are large and gorgeous and have tons of activities to enjoy. Broad and uncrowded, this beach sees significantly fewer visitors than its neighbor to the south. There's little development along the coast or in the hills above it, which makes it easy to find a secluded spot beneath a palm tree or beside a large rock.
Like other beaches in the area, the surfing here is good—its northern end sports a beach break both on the left and right. South of this the ocean calms down a bit and there are nice spots for swimming. There are no underwater rocks, so swimmers can explore beneath the surface (either with or without the aid or a snorkel) safely. Aside from this, Playa Hermosa is an awesome spot to sunbathe, read, or jog. The palm and almendro trees lining the beach provide some shade, and its relative proximity to Santa Teresa means that beach supplies can be purchased easily. | <urn:uuid:927064cd-5eb3-422d-a69a-9fead962cefe> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | http://www.malpais.net/beach/playa-hermosa-malpais-beach.html | 2021-07-29T00:11:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153803.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728220634-20210729010634-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.965882 | 233 |
By Nicholas Grube
Triplicate staff writer
Jedediah Smith was a mountain man. With a middle name Strong, he epitomized the word.
As a fur trader and prolific explorer he survived a grizzly bear mauling and hostile encounters with natives.
Born on January 6, 1799 on the East Coast in Jericho, N.Y., he spent the better part of his 32 years looking Westward.
Smith was the first white man to travel into California from the East. And in 1827 he was the first to cross the Sierra Nevadas. Smith, in his lifetime, covered more land than the famed Lewis and Clark.
On April 10, 1828, Smith and his 20-person crew began their trip past the Sacramento Valley that would eventually bring them into Del Norte County.
While on their trek north, Smith encountered the Trinity River and traveled along its banks for many days. He was so impressed by its size that he named it after himself. This designation, obviously, did not stick.
Smith followed the Trinity until he encountered the Klamath River, camping along the banks of tributary creeks. It was here that Smith had his first meeting with the Yurok Tribe.
Trading razors and beads, Smith was able to buy canoes from the Yurok to help his party cross the Klamath. The Yurok again assisted Smith and his men when they were nearly starved.
The Yurok visited Smith's camp multiple times with loads of berries, lamprey eel and blubber for trade. Smith said of the Yurok's propensity for capitalism:
andquot;They were great speculators and never sold their things without dividing them into several small parcels, asking more for each than the whole were worth. They also brought us some blubber, not bad tasted but dear as gold dust.andquot;
It was around this time that Smith reached Crescent City, resting at South Beach and Pebble Beach, then traveling north through Jordan Creek and Lake Earl. Smith and his fellow trappers encountered the Tolowa in this area, trading with them for fish, clams, strawberries and camas root.
On June 20, 1828, Smith headed east, crossing Howland Hill and first glimpsed the flowing waters of his (official) namesake river.
Three days later he crossed into Oregon and followed the coastline until reaching the Umpqua River, the eventual location of his groups demise.
While cooking breakfast on July 14, 1828 over 100 American Indians attacked Smith's camp. Everyone was killed besides Smith and two others - Arthur Black and John Turner. The three men escaped through the mountains until they reached Fort Vancouver in Vancouver, Wash.
Smith spent the next two years, 1829 and 1830, trapping animals along the Wind River in Wyoming and Montana.
On May 27, 1831 Smith ended his explorations of the West. He was going to Santa Fe when he was ambushed by the Comanche. He shot their chief in hopes of scaring away the group. He died with a Comanche lance in his back.
Smith is the namesake of both the Smith River and the Jedediah Smith State Park. The latter of which is home to some of the andquot;noblestandquot; trees Smith ever saw - the redwoods.

Del Norte County turns 150 this year. To celebrate our county's storied history, The Daily Triplicate will carry an article, about the past 150 years, in each edition for the rest of the year.

In the Supercar market, one typically can’t just walk into the local dealership, pick one out, and drive away the same day. For the ultra high-end Supercars such as the Bugatti Veron, Lamborghini Aventador, or a vintage Ferrari Testa Rossa, it can take up to 3 years before receiving a car after an order is made. This market is the niche of niche, and services the super rich. However, even the ultra rich make impulse buys, and Tom Hartley has been servicing these impatient millionaires and billionaires by providing them with something no one else in the industry can.
Tom has made his niche market – Supercars – more efficient by exponentially improving delivery time. And why not? If his customers are worth a few hundred million, they too deserve the opportunity to drive away with their new vehicle within a day or two of making the purchase – the same way you did when you bought that Toyota Corolla…
The theme behind Tom’s business is simple. His customers can’t go anywhere else in the world and buy and drive away with a similar car in his showroom on the same day. Sure, they can go to other dealerships around the globe and find the same cars, but it could take anywhere from 1 to 3 years to actually park that puppy in their driveway.
[Tweet ““There isn’t any car that I can’t supply within 48 hours…””]
The beauty of Tom’s business is that it is simple. Sure, it requires Tom to scour the globe for the rarest of rare cars and he must have plenty of connections around the world, but he can explain what his business does in one sentence. The automobile entrepreneur explained his business to Bloomberg simply as “There isn’t any car that I can’t supply within 48 hours…”
Two lessons we can learn from Tom Hartley’s entrepreneurial success are that it is wise to start a business within a marketplace that already exists – and improve upon the current services being provided – and that you should be able to explain what it is your business does in one simple sentence.
P.S.

Beyond the loathing and the fear lies one of the best-kept secrets in American business. “Planning,” it turns out, is really no more—and no less—than another word for good management.
“Planning is the key,” the project manager explained to her assistant as their lunch came to an end. “I invited you here today to emphasize that point. As part of this team, I expect you to understand the importance of planning ahead.”
She stopped as the waiter approached and accepted the tab. She looked at the total for a moment, then whispered to her assistant, “Can you lend me twenty dollars?”

WHAT THEY NEEDED:
LA’s own Homeboy Industries helps former gang members rebuild their lives by teaching them to create fantastic products—everything from clothing to pastries, salsa to solar panels. Its downtown location is a warm, active place—filled with hopeful voices and the smell of great things cooking. Unfortunately, their existing site wasn’t capturing this feeling. It presented navigation problems and didn’t effectively explain to donors how their money was being put to use. This had a bad effect on online donations.
WHAT I DID:
As brand strategist and creative director, I wanted to capture the energized feeling you get when you’re walking the halls. The new site’s palette drew on colors found throughout the building (including the bakery’s fantastic bread). Images would focus on human faces and stories would be told in the words of its amazing people (for example, livestreams of morning meetings and the “Thought of the Day”). An infographic clarified everything that Homeboy Industries does… and how they make a difference.
The new site became a powerful new tool for Homeboy Industries. Unique page views more than doubled and online donations rose by 45%. | <urn:uuid:89799999-093f-4e33-94d3-e50b9837bcdc> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | http://thomaslakeman.com/wordpress1/?portfolio=homeboy-industries | 2021-06-21T10:21:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488269939.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20210621085922-20210621115922-00223.warc.gz | en | 0.957718 | 246 |

(CNN) – CIA Director John Brennan insisted Thursday that approved techniques used after the September 11, 2001, attacks were lawful, but admitted missteps.
He noted tactics described in the recently released torture report, such as keeping detainees awake for seven days, or force feeding them rectally, "fell short" of the CIA's "standards."
While Brennan chose his words carefully on just what the CIA did and what, if any intelligence torture actually yielded, the outgoing chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen.

Shakespeare on Film and Video

Comment: RE: SHK 3.0120 RE: SHK 3.0119 Branagh *Henry V*
In response to the question about whether there are convincing and
powerful versions of Shakespeare plays on film or video, let me cite
two that seem pretty wonderful to me: Moshinsky's *All's Well* in the BBC
Shakespeare and Janet Suzman's video version of *Othello* at the Market
Theatre in Johannesburg. Moshinsky's showed me that *All's Well* is
probably the Shakespearean comedy closest to my sentiments about social
flexibility and distributions of energy and aggressivity across gender
lines -- for me, it's a play tailored to the interests of our moment, and
I certainly didn't think that before I viewed that video. | <urn:uuid:c98b0a27-1e50-44bd-b4ec-c42256ef0f8a> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://shaksper.net/archive/1992/72-june/624-shakespeare-on-film-and-video | 2013-12-08T09:45:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163059081/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131739-00072-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.896941 | 243 |
I will never forget you, you have suffered and struggled to see me become the child i am today, a respectable person in the society.
I remember when i didn't eat, you also didn't eat, when i was crying, you carried me and wiped the tears from my eyes with your sweet and tender voice consoling me, when i was sick you were there at my bed side taking care of me as a Guardian Angel, If Angels are real then I know you are one of them.
We had some good days and some not so very good days. The constant lectures, advice, training and scolding you gave to me, i thought those were signs of your hatred towards me, boy was i wrong. Even though i didn't say "i love you too" the countless times you told me you loved me, in my heart i was glad. You've sacrificed alot for me. Remember that time Dad never showed up for my game, you called in sick just to come see me play and got suspended for lying. i didn't show my gratitude because i was mad at dad but when i saw you, there was this flame that lit in me and i smiled, we lost the match but i won something else, You.
I was always a jerk and didn't show my feelings to you because i didn't want to look stupid or weak, but that was a child's thinking. I wished i told you a lot of things and how much i loved you. Dad was never there but you were, i took all my hatred for him on you, but you always smiled back and apologized. I knew i was wrong but didn't stop. I saw you the other night crying, I never realised you suffered more, you were always hiding that sadness behind a smile and I felt bad for you,.
I saved money so i could get you something for christmas, i was so excited i wanted to tell you not to worry because i got your back, i wanted to say i was sorry for everything i did to you, i wanted to say i love you, i wanted to see that smile on your face, i wanted you to be happy, i wanted you to rest and let me take care of you. I remember that night before christmas when i came back from the store after getting you your present. There were lots of cops outside the house, i saw you, still smiling and looking cute, you just layed there didn't move as the guy covered you up in a black sack and lifted you into the van.
You were suffering from cancer all this time and you never told me. You were always cheerful and happy and smiling, it breaks my heart right now. I never should have waited for christmas, i should have told you everyday, every minute, how much i loved you, how sorry i was, I'm sorry Ma, I'm sorry Ma, I'm sorry Ma, I'm sorry Ma, I love you a lot and will never forget you.
It's been twenty five years now since you joined the angels, i havn't forgotten your training, which i use on Tanya all the time, i think she hates me. I just became the president of the company where i work, can you believe that. You still have that perfectly beautiful smile as i look at your grave. Oh yes Tanya just turned 5 today and she has your smile, my there Sweet Mother. | <urn:uuid:2fbf2054-71b5-4d42-8951-7bf6a61e7d11> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://www.thequill.ca/online-exclusives/2018/5/9/sweet-mother | 2018-12-19T09:33:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376831933.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20181219090209-20181219112209-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.992628 | 696 |

Being an Auburn University woman is a privilege. I feel beyond blessed to be an Alumni of Auburn University and believe that my days on campus, and even after, serving as an Auburn Alumni Club President have shaped who I am today. The Greek life community and being an Alpha Chi Omega, still active today, taught me how to be a real strong woman of integrity. As a Mass Communications student, my experiences at Auburn helped put me in a position to get hired by ESPN who I still work for, almost twelve years after working my first Auburn football game broadcast. As a woman in a male dominated field, I strive to set myself apart and pave the way for other women who want to work in sports broadcasting.
Not only has Auburn helped shaped my career, but it also helped build a family. I was fortunate enough to marry an Auburn man. When we had our first child, I wrote a children’s book, My First Auburn Baseball Book, so our son could learn about the sport his dad played at Auburn.
I am proud to call myself an Auburn woman and hold myself to the highest standard not only because of my faith, but because I am an Auburn University woman. | <urn:uuid:1359b61a-0f0c-481f-8f59-d29b74e2caf0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.alumni.auburn.edu/jenna-crawford-mayo-06/ | 2022-01-22T08:46:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303779.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122073422-20220122103422-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.862831 | 497 |

Midtown Staunton is the central area of the Staunton Island, where neighborhoods are Belleville Park and Newport. A more moderate skyline compared to that of it's roaring neighbors of Torrington and Bedford Point in Downtown, Midtown Staunton is home to several of Staunton Island's landmarks.
Midtown Staunton is the main residential area of Staunton Island, consisting of luxury hotels and residences in the majority. Large area residents found more in the district of Newport, where you can appreciate the large and luxurious condominiums consisting of small marinas and apartments east parking. The most expensive hotels are in the distinctive landmark of Belleville Park where you can also find the park (the same name, which derives the name of the neighborhood) of the city more attractive, as well as a large shopping mall.
The area is also surrounded by Federal architectures (large and small), multi-storey car parks, highways in the form of bridge for better transportation and clothing stores, weapons, etc ... as well as some buildings as a broadcasting station.
Midtown Staunton has only two districts:
Belleville Park: At the heart of Staunton Island is Belleville Park a replica based loosely of Central Park which is located on the main boulevard across from the Town Hall. As well as Belleville Park itself, the district is home to some of Liberty City's most luxurious and expensive hotels, which lies in between the park and the river between Shoreside Vale and Staunton Island.
Newport: The location of the Liberty City Shopping Mall, Staunton Island's Ammu-Nation, Staunton Island's Pay 'n' Spray and a marina for small boats, the district of Newport is a resemblance to Upper East Side as well as similarities to small and Downtown and Midtwon Manhattan, is directly north of Torrington and the Callahan Bridge and East of Belleville Park. Newport is home to the Staunton Island Safehouse in Liberty City Stories as well. Note that this is Uptown Yardies turf. | <urn:uuid:b0e1123e-d86e-48d1-9288-c0b6f5aeb950> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Midtown_Staunton | 2016-09-29T15:25:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661900.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00012-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958892 | 423 |
UX Podcast at Conversion Jam 2
On October 22nd 2012 Conversion Jam 2 took place here in Stockholm Sweden. UX Podcast was there to capture a taste of the conference for those of you who were elsewhere.
“cjam2” was billed as Sweden’s only conference about conversion optimisation. It was a great value day with a whole load of interesting quality presentations from both international speakers and local Swedish speakers.
Per Axbom and I set up shop with UX Podcast in a corner and recorded 4 “almost live” podcasts from the Venue. We managed to interview 4 of the speakers, including two keynote speakers from the morning session.
Episode 26: James and Per make jam
In the first episode of the day we share our expectations for the day and have a chat with the first keynote speaker of the day, Craig Sullivan an optimisation rock-star (and DJ). We previously chatted with Craig in Episode 11 of UX Podcast about mobile optmisation. Full show notes.
Episode 27: James and Per measure their jam
In the second episode from the conference we chat with Brian Clifton, author of Avanced Web Metrics one of the presenters this morning with a talked called “What the hell should we use all this web data for?”. Full show notes.
Episode 28: James and Per make responsive jam
In show three we grabbed a few minutes with birthday-girl and presenter Annelie Näs who worked with Swedish mobile operator Halebop to create their responsive e-commerce site.
Full show notes
Episode 29: James and Per ride the jam carousel
In the final show from “cjam2” we have a chat with Mårten Angner who held a presentation about the (lack of) effectiveness of top carousels (or “sliding banners”). A subject close to my heart.
Full show notes
It was excellent fun producing podcasts on the spot and publishing them within minutes of recording. Getting the chance to interview four speakers from the conference was also thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks go to Craig Sullivan, Brian Clifton, Annelie Näs and Mårten Angner for letting Per and I corner them and record them with almost no-notice whatsoever!

Knee pain due to stress on the knee joint is common in people, particularly those who participate in sports. Here you can effortlessly escort yourself about everything associated with this health condition called Runner's Knee.
Remember the amazing days when you could refer to your knee as right and left instead of good and bad. Ah, those were literally perfect times, right?
You are energetic, follow a balanced diet plan, and have an active lifestyle. Yet unfortunately, you experience chronic pain in your knee joints.
You ask yourself if you should stop running because it hurts your knees - after all, it's a Runner's Knee. Sadly, you can get a variety of knee disorders.
What exactly is a Runner's Knee?
Let's start with a basic understanding. This condition isn't just about runners. It's a broad term that covers conditions related to knee pain and stress on the knee. In medical terms, it is referred to as patellofemoral pain syndrome.
It can happen to anyone who more actively participates in activities that involve excessive load on your knees or require extensive knee bending such as cycling, jumping, or even walking.
Here you can get absolute understanding about its symptoms, prevention, and home remedies.
Signs and Symptoms of Runner's Knee
The aching runner's knee pain starts around the front of the knee, behind kneecaps or patella, and mostly around where it connects your thigh muscles.
The pain often gets severe with:
Anything that requires knee bent
In more severe conditions, you may even experience swelling around your knee.
Causes for Runner's Knee
There are two types of knee pains: Iliotibial Band Syndrome and Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. But the latter is more general. A few causes of runner's knee are:
- Excessive training
- Weak or unbalanced thigh muscles
- Direct injury of the kneecap
- Fallen arches or flat feet
- Softening of the cartilage beneath the kneecap
- Bones malalignment
Tips and Recommendations to Curtail Runner's Knee
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons illustrated a comprehensive guideline to prevent knee pain-related problems. Moreover, you can minimize the risk of suffering from the runner's knee by following the below recommendations.
- Keep a healthy weight
- Warm-up properly before your workout routine
- Follow a disciplined activity routine
- Keep your exercise intensity under control
- Invest in quality running shoes
- Avoid running on a harder surface
- Consult a physical therapist if you need to add Knee Braces
You should follow these expert tips to have Happy Knees.
Home Remedies to Treat Aching Knee
It is pertinent that you seek medical advice if the issue is extended. However, there are tried and tested home remedies for instantaneous pain relief and a speedy recovery.
Cold packs - ice reduces swelling, inflammation, and discomfort. You can apply cold ice-packs around your kneecaps for 15-20 minutes to soothe the pain.
Avoid knee stress - you should give complete rest to your knee and avoid activities that can make it worse.
Knee Brace - wrap your knee with a Knee Brace as they relieve pressure and reduce stress on the knee joint.
Elevation - keep your knee in an elevated posture by placing a pillow or any other support below your leg.
Arch Support - if you have flat feet, use Orthotic Insoles in your shoes. These will help you with metatarsal arch and walking patterns, ultimately helping with the runner's knee.

Email inboxes, much like traditional mailboxes fill up every day and often times it can be a
hassle to sort through what are necessary and what are from a mailing list you signed up for on
When you check your mailbox some of the pieces of mail have your name on it, and are
sent with a specific intention (like a bill, or a letter). Most of the time those are mixed in with
things such as flyers from your favourite stores, coupons, or invitations to the new store opening
up that are mailed out to everybody in your area. These pieces of mail are similar to the two
different types of emails we send out as business owners/entrepreneurs; transactional, and
Both types of emails serve a very specific purpose, and as such require different
setup, maintenance, and possibly different email providers. It’s important to know the use of
each and the best service providers, so you can better anticipate your business’ needs, or hire
Do you need help setting up your promotional or transactional emails?
Get in touch with us and we will give you a customized solution
Table of Contents
Promotional (or marketing) Emails
Promotional emails are the type that are sent when a person subscribes to your list, through
your website or in-store etc. An individual must “opt-in” by giving you their email address and
agree to begin receiving marketing emails. These emails usually communicate an offer to your
customer (such as a new product, or a sale) or a piece of content or information that is
interesting to them (such as a newsletter or an announcement). Marketing emails are usually
planned in accordance with other important marketing content pieces, and include a specific call
to action for your customer to do something such as buy, subscribe, watch, or visit.
In order to communicate these key marketing pieces, emails are generally sent out to the entire
list of subscribers or targeted subgroups at the same time. If you have an automated marketing
funnel set up, promotional emails may still only be sent to one person at a time, such as when
one subscribes to your mailing list it triggers a sequence and they are sent a “welcome email”.
These “one-ofs” are still considered promotional as you are sending the same email in the same
sequence to everyone who enters the funnel (or triggers the sequence) with the intention of
getting them to follow a call to action. Emails sent at a regular frequency, such a monthly
newsletter or weekly “product features” are also considered promotional emails, as they’re still
used to communicate some type of information to your customers with the intention of creating
trust, or a transaction.
Most common uses for promotional emails include: announcing a sale, offering a coupon, give
information about your business, inviting to an event, launching a new product or offering,
“welcome” email sequence, and a periodic newsletter.
Best Service Providers for Marketing Emails
Mailchimp – These guys are arguably one of the most well known email providers and are great
for small businesses and beginners. One of the most popular services available right now,
Mailchimp is easy to use and free for basic use (up to 2000 subscribers). They offer affordable
options after that, with a standard plan starting at $14.99/month for 500+ subscribers. For those
without an in-house graphic designer Mailchimp offers many different templates that you can
easily drag and drop to customize without much experience required. Additionally, they offer
integrations for a multitude of the most popular websites and services including Canva and
Shopify, make it extremely versatile to install plugins and set up automated email sequences.
ActiveCampaign – ActiveCampaign is a lesser known contender, that offers more advanced
features that may be better for business with more substantial email needs. Starting at
$55/month for the 2000 subscribers you get for free with Mailchimp, they are a little bit more
expensive but certainly worth the value if you’re looking to do more than just send simple emails
to your list. ActiveCampaign offer advanced automation features, with an easy drag & drop
editor. If you are someone with a large list of email subscribers, ActiveCampaign offers more
powerful list management capabilities that are simple to use. Furthermore, you can actually set
up a sales pipeline (including an automated email sequence) and manage a CRM list all through
Transactional (or operational) Emails
Transactional emails are the opposite of promotional, in that they are only sent to share a
specific piece of information with one user at a time. They are strictly information based, not
content based (think crucial notification, or account information). These emails are sent on a
need-only basis and will still be received even by customers who have unsubscribed from a
marketing mailing list. All transactional emails are unique and sent with a specific purpose to
your customer about a purchase, account, or other important information or notification.
Using one of the service providers mentioned below, there are a number of plugin options to set
up for your ecommerce business, website, or other apps to automatically send after an action is
triggered, such as a purchase is made. If you are well-versed in coding however, it’s easy to set
up your own templates that deliver quickly. Establishing a separate provider to send
transactional emails, instead of grouping them with promotional emails is a good idea to ensure
that all customers receive vital information and you can verify quick and accurate deliverability
of all emails.
Most common uses for transactional emails include: sending shipping information, giving order confirmation, account setup information, resetting a password, sending account invoices, and
requesting customer feedback after a purchase.
Best Service Providers for Transactional Emails
SendinBlue – SendinBlue is a sophisticated email provider, that also host a myriad of other
services that are great for small to large businesses alike. Send up to 9000 emails a month for
free, with several other affordable options starting at $29/month for up to 100k. Their interface is
fairly user-friendly and easy to setup, with a considerable amount of ecommerce plugins and
drag & drop templates available. SendinBlue also has a wide range of features including email
& SMS marketing, and abandoned cart recovery notifications. You’ll also be able to view
in-depth performance reports to ensure the deliverability of your emails.
SendGrid – Currently gaining in popularity as the industry leader in transactional service,
SendGrid is a great provider to get started with. Free up to 100/emails day, their pricing starts at
$14.95/month after that for up to 50,000 emails. SendGrid offers 24/7 live customer support (on
any paid plan), but their interface is easy to use and contains helpful setup instructions. You’ll
also get detailed email analytics with SendGrid so you’ll know exactly how many emails were
opened, clicked, undelivered, or even reported as spam. | <urn:uuid:b097cdba-b5a8-4eff-85fc-29027da595e8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.awesomewebdesigns.ca/what-type-of-emails-do-i-need-to-send-a-look-at-promotional-vs-transactional-emails/ | 2022-08-13T18:53:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571982.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813172349-20220813202349-00137.warc.gz | en | 0.936638 | 1,519 |

WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine
There's an island off the coast of Maine that's not on any modern map. Shrouded in mist and protected by a deadly reef, Trespass Island is home to a community of people who guard the island and its secrets from outsiders. Seventeen-year-old Delia grew up in Kansas, but has come here in search of her family and answers to her questions: Why didn't her mother ever talk about Trespass Island? Why did she fear the open water? But Delia's not welcome and soon finds herself enmeshed in a frightening and supernatural world where ancient Greek symbols adorn the buildings and secret ceremonies take place on the beach at night. Sean Gunn, a handsome young lobsterman, befriends Delia and seems willing to risk his life to protect her. But it's Jax, the coldly elusive young man she meets at the water's edge, who finally makes Delia understand the real dangers of life on the island. Delia is going to have to fight to survive. Because there are monsters here. And no one ever leaves Trespass alive.
"Frightening and supernatural world where ancient Greek symbols adorn the buildings and secret ceremonies take place on the beach at night" -- Hooked me. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this one.
I'm also waiting on...
About a high-school senior, who, in the aftermath of a car accident that kills her boyfriend and throws her carefully planned future into complete upheaval, retreats to the deep woods of Maine to live with the artist father she barely knows and meets a boy who threatens to pull her from her safe, hard-won exile.
I am absolutely in love with that cover (so gorgeous). Plus, it sounds like it could be a touching, memorable story.

Experience Better Vision With Dr. Sina
Glasses and contacts can be a hassle — and paying for them over the course of your lifetime can really add up. Wouldn’t you love to quit dealing with scratched up glasses or stop holding onto your last, dried-up contact lens while your new ones are coming in the mail? Wouldn’t you like to enjoy your life without cleaning your glasses or dealing with contacts drying out your eyes?
This is why Dr. Sabet MD offers LASIK procedures. While the procedure isn’t for everyone, LASIK is an innovative form of laser eye surgery that can dramatically improve your vision and eliminate your need for corrective eyewear. You’ll see better and eliminate the costs of corrective eyewear now and in the future.
BENEFITS OF LASIK EYE SURGERY
Scientific studies have shown that 95 percent of those who undergo LASIK procedure will achieve 20/40 visual acuity, while 85 will achieve 20/20 vision. Regardless of how much your vision improves, you’re going to see dramatic increases in visual sharpness and clarity.
LASIK is an outpatient procedure — and while you won’t be able to drive home after your appointment, your normal vision and lifestyle will return within 24 hours.
The entire LASIK procedure takes a few months to transform your vision, but once your eyes are completely adjusted, the results should be permanent. Occasionally, older patients will need a follow-up surgery once their eyesight changes with age, but otherwise, the results will last a lifetime.
It’s true — LASIK surgery doesn’t come cheap. However, glasses and contact lenses don’t either. A LASIK procedure is a lifelong investment into your vision — instead of spending hundreds per year on contact lenses and glasses, you could invest that money into LASIK. The procedure will eventually pay for itself.
CHOOSE YOUR TOP-RATED OPHTHALMOLOGIST IN ALEXANDRIA
Undergoing LASIK eye surgery is a big decision — but it can have lifelong benefits that make your vision and your life better! If you’re considering LASIK in the near future, schedule an eye exam and ask your eye doctor about the possibilities. We’re happy to evaluate the current state of your vision to see if LASIK is right for you!
At Sina J Sabet MD PC, we provide comprehensive care to meet the vision needs of our patients. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Sina Sabet offers pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery or other eye surgical procedures. Our goal is to help you attain the clearest vision possible using advanced technologies.
Evaluation and Referral
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery uses the latest advancements in technology to provide faster recovery times and precise results. LASIK surgery has been effective in treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye conditions. At Sina J Sabet MD PC, we provide evaluations and referrals for patients interested in LASIK surgery. Dr. Sabet performs a complete review of your patient history as well as a full assessment of your eye health and vision. A current exam is important to determining if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery and if there are any other factors that may affect your results. The history review enables our team to determine if your prescription is stable and you are healthy enough to consider surgery.
Once Dr. Sabet has performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a candidate for LASIK, you will be given a referral to the LASIK surgery center we have worked with on an ongoing basis. The center will perform advanced diagnostic testing and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. Various surgery options will be discussed with you if you are determined to be a surgical candidate. We will be in correspondence with the center regarding your evaluation and surgical determination. If you are considering LASIK surgery, call us at (703) 370-9411 to schedule a consultation.
Once your surgery is scheduled, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you in our Alexandria office. Typically, you will begin these follow-ups the day after the surgery and continue at prearranged times over the following six months. After 1 year, a full exam is recommended to determine the long-term results of your procedure. Dr. Sabet is experienced in working with patients pre- and post-operation and will answer any questions that you have along the way. If you have questions about LASIK surgery, call (703) 370-9411 to speak with our knowledgeable staff or email us.
Advantages of LASIK
If you have worn glasses or contact lenses for a long time, you may have wondered if LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. While not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, it does have some great advantages. People who play sports, have allergies, or who are looking for simplicity will all benefit from LASIK. To learn more about LASIK and your vision, call Sina J Sabet MD PC today at (703) 370-9411. | <urn:uuid:5b0f594a-2ba7-447c-a680-a60985504cf0> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.sinasabetmd.com/lasik-eye-surgery | 2021-07-30T20:29:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20210730185206-20210730215206-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.918213 | 1,083 |

Often times I get email frustrations or questions from youth workers. Most find me through SYM or PDYM, and I’m happy to listen and pray for their situation. I responded to one last week and thought I might post my response in case it might encourage you … and extend an invitation for you to email me if you need to, too. Obviously, all context and names are removed for the sake of privacy.
1) 8 years is an amazing run at a church. I think that’s remarkable, commendable even … I wouldn’t worry about if that was “long enough” or being a “lifer.” God might be moving you on, and you’ve demonstrated your commitment already for the long haul if you’ve been ANYWHERE for 8 years. A resume with 8 years on it as a youth worker says, “I’ve seen ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of the church and have lived to tell about it.” It also suggests you understand your calling is bigger than the frustration.
2) Don’t let pressures or problems force you from the church. This is specifically an issue of calling, and anything else will only cloud your judgment. If God is calling you away, then go. If He’s not or is silent, wait it out.
3) Stay in youth ministry. If that is your calling, even if you have to leave your church, stay in the ministry. You might have to take a job in the real world for a while. You’ll probably be SUPER picky about your next church. You might need some time away to heal (your wife, especially). But don’t turn your back on the place where you were created to thrive in. You know it in your heart, don’t you? It’ll take time to get over the hurt, but don’t get jaded or cold. Your heart is bigger than that.
4) Hang in there. Emotionally you’re spent. Remember you got into this to minister to kids, not haggle with demon-possessed-deacons. Smile, laugh, go on a date with your wife, have some great sex, worship God through being on the same team in your marriage. Know that this is a season and God has great things ahead for you. This is all part of the shaping process — I can see it now in hindsight so clearly God using this time in my own ministry past, too. | <urn:uuid:75fcd820-e70b-4cc3-93ef-6eb6f35ac329> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://blog.downloadyouthministry.com/advice-to-a-youth-worker/ | 2018-11-15T14:27:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742779.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115141220-20181115163220-00160.warc.gz | en | 0.962109 | 533 |
The East Central Area Literacy Council in partnership with East Central College is seeking individuals interested in serving as tutors for adult education and English language acquisition classes offered in Rolla, St. James, Cuba and Sullivan.
No special academic degrees are required to be a tutor. People who can read and write, are willing to be trained, have patience, and are interested in helping others qualify to tutor.
Tutor training sessions will be held on Thursday July 28, 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at East Central College at 2303 North Bishop, Rolla, MO, or Wednesday, August 3, 9 a.m. until noon at the First Baptist Church located at 801 Cedar Street, also in Rolla.
“For the English Language Acquisition program we need to prepare tutors to work with adults who are learning and developing the language skills necessary for living and working in the community, stated Diane Crowder, literacy council board member. “Tutors will work one-on-one with individuals who either desire to acquire English language skills or prepare to take the test to earn citizenship. ELA tutors need to be fluent in English and sensitive to cultural differences.”
“At this time we have 22 people enrolled in the English Language Acquisition classes we are offering three mornings a week in Rolla,” noted Alice Whalen, director of adult education and literacy at ECC. “In order to accommodate more students we desperately need additional tutors.”
She stated that tutors are also needed for AEL classes held Monday and Wednesday from 5-8 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Cuba and AEL classes held Tuesday and Thursday evenings at ECC’s facility at 2303 North Bishop.
“Our volunteer tutors have the opportunity to work with adults on reading, math, writing or high school equivalency test preparation,” Whalen said. “Following their three hours of training and orientation, the volunteers are making a commitment of just a few hours a week to tutor someone.”
To reserve a seat at either tutor training session or to learn more about the free AEL and language acquisition classes offered throughout the region, call 573-719-1323 or email email@example.com.
Call 573-719-1323 or email firstname.lastname@example.org and let us know which month you would like to attend and whether a day or evening schedule works best for you.

Symbiosis University Adopts Puppies To Help Students Fight Stress And Feel At Home
Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication (SIMC), Pune just did the cutest thing ever! The hostel adopted Labrador puppies to make the students feel more at home! Dollar and Pound will live with the students at the Lavale campus, and Yen and Euro will live at the Vimannagar campus.
SIMC adopted the puppies with the idea of introducing a pet therapy initiative.
Vidya Yeravdekar, Director, Symbiosis International University, told Indian express, “I have two Labs at home and I know how they can positively boost one’s well-being by showering love and warmth. After a tiring day, when one reaches home, one feels wanted and loved. They are great stress-busters. I know that though students walk into the campus with a lot of dreams, they do miss their families and feel homesick. Sometimes, due to loneliness and fear of being in a new city, they also develop unhealthy addictions. Thus, I decided to try pet therapy as an experiment.”
Thanks to the puppies, the atmosphere at the hostel is much more positive.
Yeravdekar says that when she made the announcement that they were going to adopt puppies, the students were so thrilled that they ran up to her and hugged her. When the puppies arrived, they were welcomed with garlands!
“There’s a lot of good energy flowing, the atmosphere has become chirpy and positive. Unlike earlier, when everyone stuck to their work, studies and assignments or their group of friends, we are all bumping into each other more often when we are playing with the puppies, cuddling them and pampering them,” said Sourabh Dubey, a student whose family is based in Madhya Pradesh.
Yeravdekar believes that other universities should adopt pet therapy as well! “Other than the conventional academic learning, this is an experience that the students will take back with them and cherish all their lives. I feel that all universities should adopt pet therapy,” she said.
We couldn’t agree more!
Pet therapy actually has proven scientific benefits.
Several studies have proved that having a pet improves your mental and physical health. Here are some of the health benefits of having a pet:
1. Better heart health
It is scientifically proven that people who own pets have lower blood pressure and triglyceride and cholesterol levels, thereby making them less likely to have a heart attack than people who don’t have pets.
2. Lower risk of depression
Pets give their owners unconditional love and acceptance, as well as provide companionship, thereby lowering the chances of them getting depressed. Playing with a pet triggers the release of chemicals like serotonin and dopamine in the brain, making you feel happy, calm and relaxed.
3. Lower stress levels
Pet owners have much lower stress levels than people who don’t have pets. Stroking their pet satisfies their senses, helping to reduce their sensory stress levels.
4. Weight loss
A study found that people who exercised with dogs tended to lose more weight than people who chose a human companion to exercise with, since dogs are regular about exercise whereas people tend to make excuses to avoid it. Also, the people with dogs tended to walk much faster than the people without them, helping them lose more weight.
People with pets also recover faster from illnesses and surgeries, are more resistant to allergies and asthma and are basically happier overall!

Excerpt from “Echoes And Consequences”
The Midnight Sky
The full moon was in all its glory
Painting affection-lit thoughts
onto the blank skies;
A springtime breeze moving crazy
with the scent of emotions…
blazing passion and
A surge of emotions
whirled about as
time slipped away…
My heart’s echoes in the silver night
searching for you on and on;
My chest’s broadness
I am missing you so bad.
My vision was looking for you in the woods,
My ears were dying to hear your pleasant voice
Provoked by the mighty zeal
of my endless love
my heart started to sing and sing
in an excitable rhythm
my body yearned
as the ray of my wishes struggled
falling into the space of your senses
and upon your pious soul and then the shouting of my sound in search of you was done by the MIDNIGHT SKY.
Believe in my love,
Believe in my love.

What I Did This Summer: Coach basketball at Little Gamecocks Camp
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students this summer as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them are blogging about their adventures. This is the third story in the series.
Some people might call 58 little kids learning how to play basketball in an indoor practice facility "cleverly controlled chaos."
That's a good attitude for him to have, especially since he is one of the coaches at Little Gamecocks Camp, a three-day summer event for children aged four to seven.
"When the kids get here in the morning, we warm up with stretching and some dance moves," Jackson said, shaking out his hands to demonstrate.
"Then we break into small groups and they play at different stations: passing, ball-handling, shooting," he said. "Then they play some five-on-five. That's when they are really wild, crazy, and energetic, but it's fun."
Jackson was about the same age as these campers when he first began to play basketball.
"I was around five," said the sophomore from Charlotte, NC, who is the youngest of four boys. "I always went to watch my brothers practice and play, and it wasn't too long before I was playing, too." All four of the Jackson brothers have gone on to play college basketball.
Jackson is a great role model for the youngsters he's coaching.
As a South Carolina freshman under Coach Darrin Horn, the small forward started 30 games and averaged 7.2 points and 5.0 rebounds an outing while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.
At Christ School, a college-preparatory high school in North Carolina, Jackson led his team to a 34-2 overall record and the North Carolina Independent School Association State (NCISAA) Championship in 2007-08. He received All-State NCISAA 3A accolades, and he was named Carolina Athletic Association All-Conference and All-Western North Carolina. He was ranked in the Top 100 prospects by Scout.com.
On the court at the University's practice facility, it's easy to spot the 6'5" Jackson and the other coaches -- all of whom are Gamecock staff and players -- in a sea of squealing children.
And if the campers are energetic and excited now, just wait until the last day of camp when Cocky stops by for a visit.

Delta Corrente Review
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Delta Faucets. I received a product sample and promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I have a small bathroom. A really, really small bathroom. Not only is it tiny but it is also in a house that has not been updated in the past 40 years. Things that are uncommon in today’s houses, like carpet in the bathroom, we have in our house. So when Delta sent me a new toilet to install and review, I was a little concerned. Sometimes matching old with new is a mistake.
So I dragged the box into the bathroom, found out that I have no room to remove the old toilet, and dragged the Delta back out of the bathroom. Yes, that is what planning looks like to me. Sorry for a little foreshadowing to the end of this story but taking the old toilet out was a lot harder than putting the new one in. I do not know how old the original toilet was but the connection to the water hose was corroded. We have really hard water in Big Bear.
The Delta kit includes everything that I needed to put in the new toilet including a multipurpose tool so that I did not need any other tools. Unfortunately, the Delta tool was not strong enough to break the corrosion seal on the water supply hose so I needed to use a bigger wrench. Again, please note the problematic aspect of a long wrench in an itty bitty work space. Eventually, with a bit of muscle and some bad words, I was able to undo all of the bolts and screws so that I was able to remove the old toilet.
Gross, gross, gross. The old wax seal had dissolved so I needed to scrape it out with a knife. All of this was on carpet. Yes, gross, gross, gross.
So, I just wrote around 300 words on how hard it was to get the old toilet out. Now let’s do a word count on putting the new Delta toilet in. It comes in two pieces plus the toilet seat and the installation goodies. I stuck the wax on the toilet base and plopped in onto the screw base. The multipurpose tool worked great for these screws. Then I put the tank onto the back and screwed that on. Attach the water hose and the flap and the only thing left was the toilet seat which was two screws. 300 words and an hour of sweat to take the old toilet out and 100 words and fifteen minutes to put the new one in. Thank you Delta. | <urn:uuid:786a2b40-a626-422b-a40c-afbbd1e8b784> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.coupledumb.com/delta-corrente-review/ | 2017-09-22T07:52:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818688926.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922074554-20170922094554-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.974255 | 528 |
Faithfull translation of mRNA into proteins is one of the hallmarks of life. It is generally accepted that any deviation from this pathway leads to missformed proteins and is considered deleterious per se.
A very enlightning review in Trends in Biological Sciences (TIBS; DOI: 10.1016/j.tibs.2014.06.002) shows that errors in translation are dealt with in a productive way. First of all mistranslation are obviously regulated due to species and environnement which is by itself showing that mistranslation is beneficial for the organism, at least part of it. Furthermore mistranslation is well tolerated and not deleterious for the organism. Different organisms have evolved strategies to deal with it. It seems clear that by mistranslation the organism generates alternative proteins which may help to adapt the different environmental challenges. | <urn:uuid:5d4c4960-cd2d-48ce-90af-d83d65771e8e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://b-kleine.com/translation-errors-not-so-bad-at-all/ | 2021-01-20T23:01:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703522133.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20210120213234-20210121003234-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.95799 | 173 |

This regular column contains information about the latest updates to ArcGIS Online including new content contributed by Esri and the user community.
The latest addition to the ArcGIS Online basemap collection is the Light Gray Canvas Map, available at arcgis.com and ArcGIS Explorer Online. The Light Gray Canvas Map features an overall soft gray color for land and darker gray for oceans and other bodies of water. These shades provide a pleasing neutral background so that data overlays contrast sharply with the rest of the map. With fewer features and labels on the map, there is more freedom to color and label data. The map is a perfect alternative to traditional basemaps, which can have an abundance of detail that obscures data overlays. Any existing map backdrop can be changed to the Light Gray Canvas Map for a cleaner, less cluttered presentation of your operational or custom data. This new basemap and the recently released Ocean Basemap have been added to the basemap gallery picker in the arcgis.com map viewer and ArcGIS Explorer Online.
The latest contributions to the World Topographic Map include new content for Great Britain, Ghana, Spain, and the Netherlands, as well as several areas in Canada—Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Gatineau, Quebec—and the United States. Content was updated and expanded for Greece and some areas in the United States, including Delaware County, Ohio, and Washington, D.C. Data from Esri Partners DeLorme and NAVTEQ has been added, as well, for several areas around the globe, including North America, Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa. The same data from DeLorme and NAVTEQ has also been added to the World Street Map. Data for Great Britain, Spain, and the Netherlands has been contributed through the Community Maps Program.
The World Topographic Map and World Street Map and associated reference layers have been updated with the latest available NAVTEQ data for North America and Europe. The map update also includes additional levels of detail, globally down to 1:72,000, and for areas where large-scale data is available, for example, North America, South America, Europe, and the United States nationwide, down to 1:4,000. For metro areas, these maps go down to 1:1,000.
More recent and detailed imagery for the United States has been added to the World Imagery Map for several metropolitan areas and states. The World Imagery Map is one of three Community Maps, along with the World Topographic Map and World Street Map. Esri maintains and expands the level of detail of these maps through contributions of GIS organizations around the world. The World Topographic Map is updated on a monthly basis. The World Street Map and World Imagery Map are updated at least twice annually. For a complete list of all Community Maps updates and more details, visit the Community Maps Resource Center.
The ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service address locators now use data from NAVTEQ. The European Address Locator has been updated with NAVTEQ Q1 2011 reference data, and the North American Address Locator has been updated with NAVTEQ Q4 2010 reference data. Both locators can be used to perform single address, reverse, and batch geocoding to find and display an address on a map. The World Routing Service now also uses NAVTEQ data. European Routing has been updated with NAVTEQ Q1 2011 reference data, and North American Routing has been updated with NAVTEQ Q4 2010 reference data. Both routing services aid the creation of street-level multistep and optimized routes between two or more points to display, along with driving directions.
A number of enhancements have been added to the map viewer on arcgis.com. A measuring tool has been added to make it easy to determine the length of a line, the areas of a polygon, or the coordinates of a point on a map. Support for bookmarks has been added for quick navigation.
Users can now set the transparency of a basemap through layer properties. This will tone down basemaps and bring out the other layers. This can be done directly from within the map viewer by pausing the mouse pointer over a basemap name in the map contents window.

Hamilton Does Not Equal Bipartisanship
When he ran for President, Obama said he’d set new and higher standards for bipartisanship in many things, including judicial nominations.
Higher than President George W. Bush, that is, one of whose first acts of federal judicial appointment was to renominate President Clinton’s holdover nominee, Roger Gregory, to the 4th Circuit. President Bush went further in bipartisanship, elevating Clinton appointee Barrington Parker from the district court to the 2nd Circuit. And later in his administration, President Bush renominated Helene White, another former Clinton nominee who had been stalled, to the 6th Circuit. That’s at least three Clinton judges who were confirmed to the federal Circuit Courts of Appeal under President Bush.
Today, the White House is hailing its first federal appellate nominee, Judge David Hamilton, an ACLU liberal and long Democratic political player, as some kind of bipartisan step.
It’s not clear why they think appointing a long-active Democrat who was a leader in the ACLU (and was certainly not a Bush nominee) is “bipartisanship.”
When President Obama renominates a few Bush holdover appointees, such as Peter Keisler to the D.C. Circuit and Rod Rosenstein and Robert Conrad to the 4th Circuit, we can begin to assess whether President Obama has even met – to say nothing of exceeded — President Bush’s level of bipartisanship in judicial nominations.
We’re still waiting . . . and Hamilton does NOT count. | <urn:uuid:563322dc-5353-4de9-af9c-748d1b4fe5d8> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/50369/hamilton-does-not-equal-bipartisanship/wendy-long | 2014-08-01T13:18:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510274979.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011754-00080-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967944 | 331 |
Coin collectors will no doubt want to be able to look at their coins in order to determine at least an approximate grade.
A coin’s grade will give you important information that will ultimately be used in determining the coin’s worth.
I might as well tell you now that you’re not going to be able to do this if you’re just beginning to collect coins.
Here’s an overview of how coins are graded…
How Coins Are Graded
Coins are most widely graded using the ANA (American Numismatic Association) Grading Standards.
If you view what a coin is worth in any type of coin price guide, they are using the ANA grading system.
Any coin can be graded using ANA’s guidelines — from the oldest obsolete coins to coins still in production today.
How A Coin’s Design Affects Its Grade
A coin’s design always has certain vulnerable areas. Some parts of the design are more highly raised than others and will show wear the quickest. Likewise, some of the engraved lines are shallower than others and will be worn more quickly from day-to-day handling.
By carefully examining a coin and checking these vulnerable areas you can determine if a coin is circulated or uncirculated. If a coin is circulated, its vulnerable areas can also establish a specific grade by the amount of wear that they’ve absorbed.
When grading coins, especially if they’re your coins, you have to stick to the strict guidelines. You can’t say, “Well my coin’s just half of a hair away from being MS-60 so I’ll grade it MS-60”. A lot of times, a coin in MS-60 condition can be worth 200% more than if it were graded one grade lower — which is why it is important to grade them accurately, even if they’re your own coins.
Many sellers do this nowadays, trying to make more money for their coins. They’re betting that the buyer won’t be able to tell that slight difference and pay for a grade that they’re not actually receiving. This is called slider grading… stay away from it.
Coin Grade Abbreviations
Using the ANA coin grading system, there are standards for every type of coin. This article just covers the basics. We talk about grading individual types of coins at length in other articles.
To begin grading coins you’ll need to know the grades and their abbreviations.
Here is the list of grades and what they mean:
Proof-70 = Perfect Proof
Proof-65 = Choice Proof
Proof-60 = Proof
MS-70 = Perfect Uncirculated
MS-65 = Choice Uncirculated
MS-60 = Uncirculated
AU-55 = Choice About Uncirculated
AU-50 = About Uncirculated
EF-45 = Choice Extremely Fine
EF-40 = Extremely Fine
VF-30 = Choice Very Fine
VF-20 = Very Fine
F-12 = Fine
VG-8 = Very Good
G-4 = Good
AG-3 = About Good
To give you a better (but not exact) way to grade your coin, here is what these words really mean:
Proof-70: A coin with no hairlines, handling marks, or defects whatsoever. In other words, a perfect coin through and through. The coin can be brilliant or have natural toning.
Proof-65: Under a magnifier will show only very fine hairlines on the coin.
Proof-60: A proof coin with scattered hairlines and handling marks that can be seen even without a magnifying tool.
MS-70: A non-proof coin that contains no lines, bag marks, or anything of the sort. A perfect coin.
MS-65: Scattered bag marks on the surface, or one or two very light rim marks.
MS-60: Uncirculated coin with a moderate number of bag marks. May have a few minor edge nicks and marks.
AU-55: Coin that was in circulation only for a very brief period of time. Only shows a small trace of wear on the highest points.
AU-50: Traces of wear on nearly all of the highest points. Must still have at least half of the mint luster present.
EF-45: Light overall wear on the highest points. Mint luster only in protected areas — such as in between stars and letter spacing.
EF-40: Still only having slight wear, but a little more extensive than the preceding grade. Design still has excellent sharpness.
VF-30: Light, even wear on the surface. Design details on the highest points lightly worn, but all lettering and major features sharp.
VF-20: Same as the preceding grade, except with moderate wear on the high points.
F-12: Moderate to considerable even wear. Entire design is bold. All lettering is visible but with some weakness.
VG-8: Well worn. Most fine details such as hair strands, leaf details, and so on are worn nearly smooth.
G-4: Heavily worn. Outside outlines of design are visible, but center detail of the design is worn smooth.
AG-3: Very heavily worn with portions of the lettering, date, and legends being worn smooth. Date is barely readable.
Keep in mind, the exact descriptions of circulated grades vary greatly for each type of coin. That’s why it is essential to refer to the specific grading text of the exact type of coin you are wanting to grade. For example, on a mercury dime you will look to see if the lines on the columns on the reverse side of the coin are visible and on a Morgan silver dollar you will look at the reverse and see if the lines in the eagles feathers are clear.
Since there are many many types of coins, no single article could cover all of them. I will try to cover coin grading tips in separate articles here at The Fun Times Guide to Coins. Hopefully, this has given you at least some idea as to what your coin’s grade might be, and now you should have a better idea as to your coin’s worth, as well.

I have been collecting and trading coins for years.

Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen has assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that his country will not allow any foreign power to set up a military base under the new law allowing foreign ownership of land, allaying India’s concerns over possible expansion of Chinese strategic assets in the archipelago.
Yameen, in a letter to Modi, also assured his government will keep the Indian Ocean a “demilitarized zone”, official sources said.
“Maldivian President has assured Prime Minister Modi that no country can set up a military base in Maldives and that it will be a demilitarized Indian Ocean,” government sources told PTI.
Yameen’s letter was handed over to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj by Maldivian foreign secretary Ali Naseer Mohamed, who left yesterday after a two-day visit here.
The letter of assurance came after India conveyed its concerns over the impact of the recently passed constitutional amendment which allowed foreigners to own land in the island nation. It is understood that the concerns were conveyed by Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar who was in Maldives last week.
The new law passed by the 85-member Majlis, will allow foreigners who invest more than USD 1 bn to purchase land within the project site in which at least 70 per cent of the area of the completed project must be reclaimed land.
Earlier, Maldives’ Constitution only allowed long-term leasing of land which could be up to 99 years. | <urn:uuid:f49bbb9c-9816-4665-936e-38cbd9939ba8> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.gujaratheadline.com/maldives-to-india-will-not-permit-any-country-to-set-up-military-base/ | 2019-08-22T09:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027317037.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190822084513-20190822110513-00489.warc.gz | en | 0.961095 | 316 |
Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of steering or suspension problems with your 2001 Acura RL. From shocks to ball joints, your Acura will be in good hands. Schedule an appointment today.
When you first drove your 2001 Acura RL, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your RL feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2001 Acura RL in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.
We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your RL suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your RL steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.
Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Acura RL’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2001 Acura RL shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Acura RL shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Acura RL suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. | <urn:uuid:fc6bb0ae-fcdf-4cb8-9bdf-4e9fdada2f70> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://vehicle.firestonecompleteautocare.com/acura/rl/2001/maintenance/steering-suspension/ | 2023-01-31T20:31:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499890.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20230131190543-20230131220543-00784.warc.gz | en | 0.929832 | 449 |

Even though our new membership year doesn't begin until July 1, 2020, there is an opportunity starting in the fourth quarter (April, May, June) for new members to take advantage of bonus months during their first year of membership.
If a new member enrolls during the fourth quarter of the membership year, that is, during April, May or June, their membership will carry over into the new membership year. That means the new member gets one, two or three extra months in their first-year membership depending on which month in the fourth quarter they enrolled.
You may know of someone who is about to decide to join and maybe these little extra "bonus" months would encourage them to join at the beginning of April rather than wait until the new fiscal year begins. In some cases in the past, these bonus months have resulted in a new member who wouldn't have joined otherwise.
For example, if a new member joined on April 1, 2020, their first-year membership would be 15 months long—from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. So, if you know someone who has been thinking of joining, please mention this to them. Many of our new members are referrals from current members so we encourage you to talk to your friends and invite them to join.
If you need any ESU membership brochures to give to your friends who may be interested in joining, just let us know and we'll get them to you ASAP. Or, if we can assist with the recruiting of your friends, please let us know. Contact Becky Reynolds for 4th Quarter Membership Bonus Assistance: (816) 453-6809 or email at firstname.lastname@example.org. | <urn:uuid:ba9d6f98-8905-4776-80d1-d12d78a71207> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://www.esuus.org/kansascity/news/issue_10/ | 2021-04-23T17:56:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039596883.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20210423161713-20210423191713-00297.warc.gz | en | 0.983499 | 349 |

The Mad Caddies recently released their first record in 7 years and are back in full force. For 19 years, they have established themselves as one of the most innovative bands in the ska/punk scene. While those sounds serve as their foundation, the band is not afraid to incorporate any genre into their music from jazz to Latin to swing. We had a chance to ask Keith Douglas, Caddies trumpet player, some questions about the new album, reuniting with old members, and their label boss, Fat Mike.
Dirty Rice is your first full-length in 7 years but you have been working on it since 2009. What starts and stops were made along the way in getting to this record?
We toured pretty heavily for a few years following the release of Keep It Going but finding inspiration from a songwriting perspective wasn’t coming easy. We tried locking ourselves down in San Francisco’s Motor Studios to write for about a month but ended walking away empty handed. We decided to take a break for a couple of years and a number of us began to focus on some of our own projects and musical endeavors. After the odd show in our hometown of Santa Barbara and a little time to decompress from 16 years on the road, we decided to give it another go. Might not be the best formula, but it’s safe to say that we’re pretty damn happy with the result!
In the interim between Keep It Going and Dirty Rice the band released a Best Of compilation. What was the process like in putting that together and why did you decide to put out the release at that point in the band?
When we took some time off from the writing process we started noticing that the natives were getting restless. Our fans were really wondering what the hell was going on. Fat Mike (NOFX) suggested that we put together a “best of” collection. We took advantage of social media and asked our fans to tell us what they wanted to hear.
The band recently reunited with original member Todd Rosenberg. How long was he away from the band and how did the reunion come about?
Todd left the band in 1999 and rejoined in 2011. Not just your typical hiatus. We all hung out with Todd frequently throughout that time span though and worked with him on a number of recording projects. When Boz left the band (again), Todd’s return seemed like a real natural transition. We were in the midst of the early writing phase for this record and initially we just needed a drummer to write and rehearse with at the least. Todd had moved back to Santa Ynez and as the songs began to take shape, we all started gelling as a unit again.
You also added keyboardist extraordinaire, and AVN award winner, Dustin Lanker (Cherry Poppin’ Daddies) to the band. How has the inclusion of Todd and Dustin into the creative process changed the group?
Those two have really added a lot to our sound. I think it’s injected a new vibe and new vitality into the formula. There’s definitely been a major shakeup as to how we tackle an arrangement now. Todd brought a couple of his own songs into the mix as well.
In doing some research on the Mad Caddies, there is this theme of return, between reuniting with old members and recording in the same building where you rehearsed in high school. Did that theme bleed into the songwriting and recording process? What kind of energy did that bring?
Yeah, there was absolutely a sense of familiarity and comfort revisiting Todd’s studio. It’s the first place that I ever rehearsed with those guys back in ’97! Over the years Todd has turned it into pretty damn well appointed recording facility. It was nice to be close to home and to work with people we’ve known for years. We even brought in our original engineer from Quality Softcore on up through Rock the Plank, Angus Cooke, to help out.
The band Ellwood fell right in the middle of this time period between full-lengths. What did that band give to you at the time versus more Mad Caddies activity?
A big part of the break had to do with differences in songwriting. Chuck had a number of more mellow reggae songs that just didn’t quite feel like they were part of the album that we were trying to create, so Ellwood was born. Apart from doing some backing vocals on the record, I had nothing to do with the band though. They did a number of local shows and even a European club run but in the end I think that may have ultimately made those dudes nostalgic to get back at it with the Caddies.
Fat Mike has consistently been a mentor to and supporter of the Mad Caddies. While many of us only get to see his public persona, what is he like on the business and musical side that we wouldn’t expect?
He’s a pro. A lot of people might assume that he’s always partying. Just read his lyrics, take in a live show, or an old episode of NOFX’s TV series, Backstage Passport. If that’s all that I had to go on, I’d think so too. I know otherwise though. When he’s in work mode, he’s extremely focused.
What is the biggest change you notice in the way that you approach the band today versus 10 years ago? 20 years ago?
I think the biggest change has come in the way that we write songs. In the past, we would lock down in our practice space and hammer everything out from scratch as a group. This method has definitely worked in the past but it’s always been a little time consuming. When we first dove into this last chunk of songs, we tried the same old tried and true writing process but that proved frustrating. We just weren’t making the kind of headway we had hoped for with so many cooks in the kitchen. Chuck, Sascha, and Todd took some time to themselves to hash out complete songs and when we all got together to put the finishing touches on them, everyone else was then able to give their two cents.
Let’s talk about the ska scene for a bit, which has seen a number of changes since you have started. The band was never pigeonholed as a ‘ska’ band and draws similarities to a band like Dance Hall Crashers in that way. Do you think this was a product of who the band was associated with or the music you played?
I would hope that it’s due to both of those factors. We definitely have been on tour with a number of heavier bands and more punk rock bands over the years. Being on Fat Wreck since 1998 definitely gave us more opportunity to tour with different bands. We’ve always been pretty selective about who we tour with as well. When I go to a show, I like to see a variety of genres and styles. Touring and playing with other horn driven bands is something we’ve always been careful not to overdo. Ska and ska-punk were, and still are, obviously heavily influential to our sound but there’s so much more to it.
Do you think this also has kept the band more active compared to the ska ‘crash’ of the early 2000s?
I guess so. I mean, we definitely saw a period of decline ourselves though. I’m not sure if that was caused by some kind of a backlash within that scene or just a changing music industry. I think we’ve stayed innovative enough to avoid being overly associated with any particular sound though.
How did you get hooked up with Mrs. Skannotto on this tour?
We did some shows with Less Than Jake a couple of years ago and met them through those guys. They’re super nice guys and a very talented bunch of players. They actually hit up our booker at the Agency Group recently and it just happened to work out. Happy to have them on board!
What is next for the group?
We’re on the East Coast right now. The album actually comes out tomorrow (May 13, 2014).Our record release wasn’t supposed to be in Philly but hey. We’re headed to Europe in July for a short festival run and then..? We’re hopeful to get back to Australia, Japan and South America and promote Dirty Rice. We’ve already begun working on more new material as well. It’s gonna be a busy couple of years! | <urn:uuid:52903dec-1a61-4fa8-91f8-52a327ed0574> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.readjunk.com/interviews/mad-caddies-keith-douglas/ | 2017-09-22T06:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818688671.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922055805-20170922075805-00096.warc.gz | en | 0.982198 | 1,802 |
Our plan was to cruise through Prince Christian sound and then on into The Denmark Strait. Foiled by Ice and also heavy fog once again. In the middle of the night the decision was made to turn around and take the outside route in Denmark Strait on our way to Iceland. The Denmark Strait can be one of the most tempestuous ocean regions in the world but we had winds of only 10 to 15 metres/sec. It was a strong enough wind to raise the seas to one or two metres and to cast a gentle roll to Fram. All in all, quite comfortable cruising conditions for the entire day.
|Group Photo with All Guests and Expedition Team|
|Group Photo with repeat guests and Expedition Team|
We took advantage of the excellent sailing conditions for a group photo on deck 5 forward. In fact we took two group photos. One photo shows all of our guests on board plus the Expedition Team and the other shows the Expedition Team plus people that love Fram so much, that they are now on their 2nd, 3rd and even 4th voyages with us! We are proud that you have chosen to sail with us on more than one occasion. We take that as a pat on the back that we must be doing something right. Thank you!
With good sea conditions and no landings it was a great day to attend a lecture or perhaps watch a film in the Observation Lounge. The lecture halls were busy for most of the day with lectures in English, German and Scandinavian. Of course has other amenities not just lecture halls. If you haven't found the sauna or used the jacuzzi yet, these sea days are the perfect time for that. Fram's sauna is one of the nicest saunas on any ship (believe me, I've been on lots of ships!) There are many areas with huge picture windows like the bistro for example that are perfect for sitting quietly and watching the sea. For the more active types there is a small but very well equipped gym, by the way, also with floor to ceiling windows and of course there are always the outside decks for a breath of fresh sea air.
Sea days are tranquil days providing ample opportunities for rest, relaxation and education.
We ended a beautiful sea with another rollickin' crew show. | <urn:uuid:5b28a331-e681-453a-a086-a3bcb72e4192> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://mvfram.blogspot.com/2013/07/foiled-by-ice-once-again_17.html | 2018-06-18T22:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861456.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618222556-20180619002556-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.970833 | 468 |
Sun sends 28 solar flares erupting through space in a week... and there may be more on the way
- U.S. NOAA has issued four radio blackout warnings in two days
- There have been 24 M-class and four X-class flares since October 23
- The Sun is currently reaching the peak of its 11-year solar cycle
More than two dozen solar flares have erupted from the Sun in the past seven days, catapulting radiation towards the Earth that could potentially play havoc with global communications.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued four radio blackout warnings in the past two days after solar weather suddenly turned turbulent.
Radiation from flares cannot penetrate Earth's atmosphere to harm life on the ground, but when intense enough it can disturb the atmosphere in the ionosphere, where GPS and radio signals travel.
Scroll Down for Video
Violent: The fourth of the Sun's massive X-class flares in a fortnight, which peaked on October 29 is pictured. The image by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows light in wavelengths of both 304 and 193 Angstroms
Since October 23 the Sun has let loose with 24 medium-strength M-class solar flares, and four X-class flares - the most powerful kind.
In fact, with our local star heading towards the peak of its 11-year cycle, a period known as the solar maximum, this shouldn't be unusual. But lead up to the solar max has been unusually subdued this year.
Humans have tracked the solar cycle continuously since it was discovered in 1843, and it is normal for there to be many flares a day during the sun's peak activity.
Holly Gilbert, a solar physicist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, told the Los Angeles Times: 'It hadn't been active in months, so it's like it finally woke up.
'For those of us who study the dynamics of the sun, it is exciting because it gives us more events to study.'
Solar flares happen when energy stored in magnetic fields twisted across the surface of the Sun is suddenly released.
'You get a tangled bunch of magnetic fields, and they get too tangled and too stressed, they end up erupting,' added Dr Gilbert.
Turbulent: Another X-class flare exploding off the right side of the sun, peaking on October 27. This image is in the 131 Angstrom wavelength, which is particularly good for showing solar flares and is often coloured in teal
The recent solar flare activity has also been accompanied by several coronal mass ejections (CMEs), say Nasa officials.
There are another kind of solar phenomenon that send billions of tons of particles into space that can reach Earth one to three days later.
Like the radiation from solar flares, these particles cannot travel through the atmosphere to harm humans on Earth; but they can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.
CMEs can cause a space weather phenomenon called a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when they funnel energy into Earth's magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere, for an extended period of time.
The CME's magnetic fields peel back the outermost layers of Earth's fields changing their very shape, distortions which can can degrade communication signals and cause unexpected surges in power grids.
They also can cause aurora. Storms are rare during solar minimum, but as the sun nears solar maximum, large storms occur several times per year. | <urn:uuid:0129c16f-5ff6-45d6-9e34-209158c93d89> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2484851/Sun-sends-28-solar-flares-erupting-space-week--way.html | 2015-01-31T14:01:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115867507.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161107-00090-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952702 | 701 |
I came to God from a completely unchurched, non-Christian background. Ever since, I have been giving my life to helping other people come to know God.
In my experience, I’ve also seen a lot of churches who, in their attempt to point people to God, actually end up turning people off from faith. Seeing this has led me to discover three easy ways to discourage people from being interested in Christianity:
1. We Don’t Lead with Love
People need truth and love, and what Christians have to offer the world is truth and love. It’s a perfect match. It should work.
But if you want to keep people from being interested in God, all you have to do is lead with truth. Often, leading with truth prevents a relationship from forming. Leading with truth puts people in a defensive posture and closes their ears and hearts to receiving your message.
People want to hear truth. People need to hear truth. But they don’t want or need to hear it from a jerk. And if you share truth with people before earning their trust, it’s almost impossible not to be perceived as a jerk.
Ted used to be the sound man for the Grateful Dead. He had never gone to church and had no interest in God. His sister, a Christian who lives in a different state, begged him to check out our church. One day, he finally showed up. Eventually, he volunteered to help run sound. At our pre-service production meeting, he announced to everyone that he didn’t believe anything our church taught. I asked why he continued to attend. He got choked up and said, “I’ve never felt loved like this before.”
Ted continued coming to our church, and four months later, he accepted our truth. Actually, he accepted Jesus, who is the Truth. As I write this, it’s 10 months after Ted first showed up, and he is currently overseas on a mission trip where he is loving people, hoping they’ll come to know the truth that can set them free.
2. We Ask People to Behave Before They Believe
Sandy didn’t grow up in a Christian family, but she always believed there must be a God, and she wanted to know Him. As a child and young adult, she tried going to several churches, but never went back to any of them a second time.
Every church told her what she should and shouldn’t be doing. Several churches asked her to dress more appropriately on her next visit. Of course, there would be no next time. She felt judged and incapable of living by the church’s requirements.
Sandy moved to Las Vegas and became a Brittany Spears impersonator, dancing provocatively in salacious costumes at a casino on the strip. Then one day, she showed up at our church. Yes, she was dressed inappropriately, but we chose to ignore that. We felt that our role was to point her to Jesus, not to point out what was wrong with her life.
We can’t expect non-Christians to live like Christians. In fact, without the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, people can’t live the way God wants them to.
Sandy thanked our church family for “keeping it positive” and came back a second time. In fact, she kept coming—until she came to faith. And then, she changed everything. She dressed differently, broke up with her boyfriend and quit her job. Why did she start “behaving”? Because she now believed and had God prompting and helping her make those changes.
3. We Base Community on Shared Beliefs Instead of Shared Brokenness
Every community of people who make up a church hold many things in common, often music preferences, geography, ethnicity and so on. But in many churches, one common factor often acts as the litmus test for inclusion: shared beliefs.
When you base your church on shared beliefs, it can lead to pride. “We’re right. They’re wrong.” It leads to an “us versus them” mentality. It leads to exclusion. People who don’t believe like we do feel like outsiders who could never be insiders.
Instead, we should base our church communities on shared brokenness. That’s not to say we shouldn’t share beliefs, but our shared beliefs should not be the glue or the litmus test. Instead, Christian communities should come together around the fact that we live in a fallen world where it’s easy to get bruised. We’re all messy, we’re all hurting and we’re all looking to Jesus as the one who can clean us up and heal us and put us back together.
When you base your church on shared brokenness, it leads to humility. It leads to inclusion. It leads to a mindset of “We’re all in this together.” People who feel like outsiders quickly become insiders, because they’re broken too.
Violating Our Purpose
Jesus often got angry with the Pharisees for keeping people from God when they were supposed to be helping people to know Him better. He cleared out the Temple when the religious leaders told the people the sacrifices they brought weren’t good enough. He publicly denounced the Pharisees, saying “Woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them” (Luke 11:46).
When Gentiles started coming to faith for the first time, Jewish Christians insisted that these new converts start keeping the Jewish traditions. This was difficult for the Gentiles. The situation was taken to the church leaders in Jerusalem, who looked at it and announced their conclusion: “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God” (Acts 15:19).
Our mission is to seek and save the lost, to help people come to God. But it turns out it’s still easy to make it faith difficult for people. When we do, we violate our purpose. We need to do everything we can to allow God to use us to draw people closer to Him. | <urn:uuid:f3d15df0-051a-428e-9685-ba69d66f7b9d> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://relevantmagazine.com/god/church/3-ways-christians-turn-people-church | 2020-08-14T22:40:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740343.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814215931-20200815005931-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.974799 | 1,314 |

People go to the doctor or hospital for help with an injury or illness. But some patients end up worse off than they were before treatment because their health care providers commit medical malpractice. Medical malpractice happens when health professionals provide care that falls short of what’s expected (called the “standard of care”) and cause their patient harm (like a birth injury, misdiagnosis, or surgical error). To learn more about your state’s medical malpractice laws, click on the link for your state and keep reading for tips on how to file (and win) medical malpractice lawsuits.

Discussion in 'The Alley' started by Dawgtanion, May 24, 2009.
is there much reverb in that beehive of yours?
i've lost interest in cutting out the nocan verse now.
does he have an album out i can buy?
I told you where to get the nocan track. look for my reverb nation dot com profile, it's on there. As for him, he recently dropped something called "The Patient EP", and just your luck: it's FREE! I'd say look for his profile on myspace, you should find it there. It's a follow up to his critically acclaimed "The Impatient EP" from 2004, and he also has a mixtape from last year called "LA vs. Hollywood", but far as I know, you have to get it FROM HIM. I don't think that's available as a download. Here's a video from it, if I didn't already post it;
matta fact, found the patient EP link. Lemme know if it don't work. I'd just say go to his myspace, which I also will post the link to.
The Patient EP.zip - DivShare
nocando on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads <== durr! [dummy] dunno why I ain't think of that. I think it used to be something different before.
And nocan posted this a year ago:
Y'all also need to get that intuition & verb ep, they posted about it in the battle archives.
Also, show of hands:
anyone trying hard to clown in this thread, which of you (a) have a mixtape where (b) more than 100 people gave a damn?
you've been around the alley long enough you should know most of us aren't rappers or aren't trying to build a business out of the shit or get heard by people.
you're just blowing hot air now trying to brag about 100 and some odd people who care about your mixtape.
i mean really... show of hands out of everyone in this thread... which of you (a) give a damn about nissy's mixtape or ep/lp album or whatever, or (b) think that you're some sort of rapper trying to make it?
but i do grasp why that would be good bragging material in aeh since they all think they're rappers trying to make it, while most of them in actuality aren't doing SHIT to promote themselves except open up a myspace profile.
Zilla old school mix
DivShare File - oldschoolmix.mp3
*smh* what's sad is that you're not the emcee on that tape, and you STILL have less downloads total than I've had in most days of my mixtape to date...
it's an underground classic
I'm sure it is.
Shout out to Soleternity for helping me get 7400 downloads so far! Got us noticed by a few folks. Got some major things in the pipeline because of the success of the mixtape. My new name is the Zulu King!
stop upping old threads mr. senile. I know you've gotta lick sol's balls via this internet medium every hour and try and scrape more downloads, but this is ridiculous.
and this zulu king shit just sounds primitive and tacky as when you thought "final sin" spelt backwards was fresh.
please get a fucking clue. you are so typically the thirty-something rapper, inept and mad 1988.
okay. My mixtape is tacky and primitive. my movies are tacky and primative. Meanwhile you...
Was that your movie where you played the crack-head, although you used your real name and said that only your momma could possibly like your music? Then you came on here trying to brag like you ad-libbed a bunch of it, as if we would be impressed by you putting a guitar behind your back like it was funny. get the fuck outta here. your overacting ass trying to be the black stan-laurel and shit [funny]
So basically, a black thirty-something lawyer who is notorious for not being able to argue or rap for shit, and is pretty much disliked by everyone he comes across on Rm.Com, [i wonder why?],thinks he has everything compared to someone who has nothing, but he could not define "nothing" to save his life
i've never seen anyone stand up for you in like 5 years, except your master sol, and i've only ever seen people mock your peter-pan narrative. check yourself.
Oh, my bad. I didn't clarify:
Zulu King is the name of the movie I just got the contract to do the soundtrack for. The OTHER movie is the High & Mighty film we're optioning that i have a bit role in...
You were saying?

Yesterday we were made aware that the contact forms on our web-site were not actually sending emails to their destination. The problem apparently emerged when ABCNJ.net's web-host upgraded to a newer version of something we use to power the site. This new version is better able to prevent spam, but was was incompatible with some of our settings. As the site wasn't reporting any errors, and messages appeared to send normally, there was no way for us to know something was amiss until someone checked in, wondering why we'd not returned their message! We apologize for the confusion, we now have created out contact forms using a different system and each should now be fully functional.

You may have never seen an unidentified flying object over Myrtle Beach, but if you live in this area, chances are you know someone who has.
The Grand Strand has long had more than its share of UFO sightings.
The creators of Myrtle Beach's newest attraction, "Encounters: UFO Experience", claim there's a good reason, besides this area's 14 million tourists, why they decided to locate it at Broadway at the Beach.
"Myrtle Beach is a hot spot for sightings," said Brian Bouquet of Intergalactic Brands.
It's true. A quick check of web sites like the Mutual UFO Network or the National UFO Reporting Center shows one report after another of sightings in Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, Little River and so on.
Bill Barrett, who works a night shift at a Myrtle Beach ocean-front hotel, says he's seen many unexplained lights in the sky, often grouped together.
"The geometry is perfect, they're perfectly spaced, perfectly level on the horizon and they're probably about a mile-and-a-half to two miles off the beach," said Barrett.
Of the half-dozen sightings Barrett has witnessed over the years, the one that intrigues him the most - and seems the hardest to explain - was the giant orange oval object he saw last November.
It seemed to him to be dripping a lava-like fluid.
"When that happened, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I mean, explain that to me, what could that possibly be?"
One UFO expert says Myrtle Beach doesn't necessarily get more UFOs than other places. He says the same kinds of sightings are happening all over the world, but people on the Grand Strand seem to do a better job of reporting them.
"The willingness to report, investigate, treat fairly. They've done a good job of that here," said UFOlogist Stanton Friedman, who lectured on flying saucers for the grand opening of the UFO exhibit.
What are those objects seen in the sky? Where did they come from and how do they operate?
Friedman says he can't answer those questions, but he says from all over the world, there are reports of flying objects that defy explanation. Too many reports to dismiss.
"They're manufactured and they're not from here. That means they're from someplace else," he said.
But Coastal Carolina University astronomy professor Dr. Louis Rubbo says there's a simple, very earthly explanation for most of the sightings of lights in the sky over Myrtle Beach: fighter jets from Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, doing night-time exercises over the ocean.
"We're not used to seeing planes flying in formation especially at night and using non commercial lights on them," Rubbo said.
Rubbo says our visual perspective from the shoreline makes it appear that the planes are doing very quick, un-earthly maneuvers.
He scoffs at the notion that the UFOs seen over Myrtle Beach, or anywhere for that matter, are spacecraft from another planet.
He says the biggest problem is distance. Rubbo says the closest habitable planets are in the range of 10 to 100 light years away.
In space, light travels at a speed of 186 thousand miles per second, or about 5.9 trillion miles per year. That's the equivalent of one light-year.
So a planet that's 10 light-years away would be about 59 trillion miles from Earth. A spacecraft traveling at the speed of light, which the laws of physics says is impossible, would need a decade of travel just to get here.
And that's the closest habitable planet.
"The distances between stars is so immense that traveling between them is very difficult, and the probability of an alien life form making that trip is pretty small," Rubbo said.
But if Rubbo has an answer for lights in the sky, that doesn't explain everything, according to the South Carolina director of Mufon, the Mutual UFO Network.
Cheryl Ann Gilmore says one night last year, a tourist reported seeing not just lights, but an unexplained object floating over her Myrtle Beach hotel.
"She noticed that when this object passed over the street light, that it reflected up on the bottom on what she thought was just an orange light, but it was a craft and she was amazed. She said it was almost 3 stories tall," Gilmore said.
Gilmore says it's frustrating that there are no easy answers and anyone who claims to have it all figured out isn't worth listening to.
If pressed for an explanation about UFOs over Myrtle Beach, Gilmore has her own thoughts.
"Possibility they might be from another planet, possibly they might be time travelers, they might be from another dimension. Some of them might be our military doing exercises out over the ocean," Gilmore said.
So the debate goes on, over what those UFOs are and why Myrtle Beach sees more of them than most other places.
Fiedman says one thing is certain: "They've collected a lot of good cases here and there will be more." | <urn:uuid:222818e8-c351-4444-9115-70c52c1bf9c6> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://wpde.com/news/local/somethings-out-there-myrtle-beach-is-a-hot-spot-for-ufo-sightings?id=894430 | 2016-05-06T17:48:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461861848830.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428164408-00073-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971077 | 1,054 |

Madagascar beat Belgium in the final.
It was somehow natural that at the end the team from Madagascar won the World Championship at Reunion. Madagascar has for many years played a brilliant game of petanque, and when the championship were organized very close to their own island it was at last their turn to win.
Another team who has been playing great petanque is Belgium. They should have been in the final last year, but when they reached the final match this year they could not beat the heat.
For the first time since 1989 there were no French team in the final, but France 1 claimed the last medals by beating Thailand in the broncefinal.
Thailand - Tunisia 13-9
Belgium - Canada 13-4
France 1 - Morocco 13-6
Madagascar - Italy 13-3
Belgium - Thailand 13-8
Madagascar - France 1 13-8
France 1 - Thailand 13-3
Madagascar - Belgium 15-10.
For some reason the worl championship in petanque is held in the buzzling metroloplis of Tahiti this year! So pack your swimwear and go there at once!
Finally petanque has found a new home, as a bar game! Althought it might take a few years befor the darts-boards get the boot and petanque moves in everywhere it has started to happen
The Financial times has finally understood that Petanque is the game of the future, with our long time friend Mike Pegg, International umpire. "It may not be the sunny south of France but even on a chilly Devon day, British fans are warming to the charms of pétanque"
This is a product we have mentioned earlier, just because it is sooooo French. A Tour de France petanque-set! This is more French than a baguette!
We stumbled across a petanque-game for the andoid-system. From the produces description:"Petanque in St Tropez is a 3D bowls game, as played on the mediterannean coast." We do not have an android-phone to test it on, perhaps one of you can help us out?

The Founders Award has been presented to only 20 individuals since it was established in 1934. It is conferred by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to individuals who exemplify the type of devoted service and public and Institute spirit demonstrated by the founders of the Athenaeum and the Mechanics Institute, RIT’s forerunners. It is fitting that Davis receive the award March 23, the same day the campus presents the Alfred L. Davis Public Service Awards, made possible by generous gifts from Davis.
“Al Davis has been an incredible resource for RIT for nearly seven decades. His devotion to RIT is legendary,” says RIT President Albert Simone. “The dedication, commitment and philanthropy of Al Davis have taken RIT to new heights. RIT is indeed fortunate to have such a relationship.”
Davis, vice president emeritus, join RIT 68 years ago as a faculty member. Today the Brighton resident is an active retiree, mentor and adviser. During his years as vice president in the 1960s and ‘70s, Davis played a key role in shaping RIT’s future by helping to raise the funds to build a new campus in Henrietta. Through these efforts, he developed an appreciation for the selfless generosity of RIT’s benefactors and their profound impact on the students and the greater community.
Davis was also instrumental in founding the Nathaniel Rochester Society (NRS) in 1967. He was presented the prestigious Nathaniel Rochester Society Award in 1998 to recognize his service to the Institute. He is also a charter member of the Ellingson Society, which was formed to recognize individuals who have made a planned or deferred gift to RIT.
In 1977, RIT board member Brackett Clark and his wife, Ruth, established the Alfred L. and Ruby C. Davis endowed scholarship to recognize the couple for their many contributions to the Institute, including establishing the Women’s Council of RIT. The scholarships are awarded to students who are campus leaders and who have demonstrated service to the university. In 1996, Davis also funded a new campus child-care facility, Margaret’s House, named in memory of his late wife Margaret Welcher Davis.

A favorite sushi place of mine, Jellyfish, recently closed, taking away the best happy hour pricing on the most delicious rolls I’ve found in Chicago. It was nothing short of a tragedy. Then I got the news that in the same place, from the same owners, was a new restaurant. And better still, they had brunch.
Gold Coast’s new restaurant, The Stockton Restaurant and Lounge, invited me and a friend in for brunch. Though my friend Cyrene and I were still mourning the loss of our sushi happy hour, we were game to keep an open mind.
We arrived early on a Saturday and were both amazed at what the Stockton had done with the space. The glass-enclosed atrium is transformed into an oasis with plant walls, bamboo chairs, and plush seats. In the summer, the glass room will retract, but in the meantime, it is great to sit in the sun with the added benefit of central heat. The staff was still putting the finishing touches on the lounge, where there will be live music for entertainment after dinner and drinks at night.
Stockton’s brunch offers craft cocktails. Cyrene went with the “hangover vanilla latte,” a smooth coffee mix with Bailey’s served in a curvy glass with a paper straw. I ordered the hibiscus mimosa, which was a pleasing pink drink with a candied hibiscus flower served in the bottom of the glass. Both drinks were delicious, well-mixed, and easy to drink.
We scoured the brunch menu and landed on three plates to share. If you’re amenable to sharing food, this is definitely the way to journey through the menu, since it’s chock full of interesting options and rich foods. Don’t limit yourself to just one.
First, we shared the cinnamon roll pancakes, which came highly recommended. This decadent plate combined two of my favorite pastry dishes: pancakes and cinnamon rolls. The top layer was drizzled in vanilla frosting while the bottom two cakes were gooey with cinnamon glaze. It was cleverly compiled to not be overly sweet, but a balance of spice forward cinnamon and sweet.
We were both thrilled to see the Stockton had kept of few of Jellyfish’s sushi rolls as a nod to the first restaurant. We split the Mexican roll that has yellowtail, cilantro, jalapeno, avocado, and spicy mayo. It was delicious. I dream of endless sushi rolls, and brunch is the perfect time to get started on that dream.
To cleanse our palates, we each got a glass of froze. Not too sweet, not too bitter, their froze is refreshing and did not melt or separate quickly. Though the icy mix was too thick for the paper straw, I appreciate Stockton not using plastic straws. I ended up just sipping out of the side of the glass.
Our last dish was the lobster mac and cheese, tossed in a four-cheese sauce. This dish was rich and savory. The chunks of lobster were sizeable and I was craving seconds after my first bite. This was by far my favorite dish and one of the best mac and cheeses I’ve had. I am already planning on ordering it again when I return to check out the late-night scene.
THE BITCHES SAY: FIVE CHAMPAGNE FLUTES
Stockton’s brunch serves a large array of sweet, savory, and sushi, and they do it all extremely well.

Recently, I read an article about NBC’s decision not to pick up John Mulaney’s sitcom (don’t ask me why I’m reading months-old articles on Splitsider–we all just have to live with our decisions). The article basically said that it was a dumb decision for NBC to not pick up the show because John Mulaney is going to be successful whether they have a hand in it or not. The other example the article used was Tina Fey. She wasn’t successful, Splitsider asserted, because NBC let her have a show; she was successful because she was always going to be successful, and that would have happened whether or not she had 30 Rock. If it wasn’t 30 Rock, it would’ve been any number of other shows on any number of other networks, all leading to the same result: Tiny Fey being one of the most beloved comedians in the world.
This realization hit me like a ton of self-help books: if a person works hard, practices their craft, and is talented, they’re going to be successful. In other words, one lost opportunity isn’t the end of the world. It’s so, so easy for us (or, um, me) to assume that if one opportunity doesn’t work out, then we’ve blown our chances at ever being successful. Or, when we’re facing down what feels like The One Big Chance, it’s tempting to see it as our only shot to succeed. No pressure, right?
Thinking back over the past few years of my career, I can think of so many times I’ve thought, “This is the big chance. This is the gamechanger.” I mean, I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count all the times I’ve thought that. And when those opportunities have worked out, yes, it’s been amazing. But, just as many times, the “big opportunities” haven’t worked out. I mean, that’s what being a writer is all about…constant rejection. And while it always stings to “miss out” on something, I can’t think of a single time that a better opportunity didn’t pop up to take its place.
Just remember that it isn’t luck that makes successful people successful…or, I guess it is luck, if you define luck as “being at the right place at the right time but also being extremely prepared by working hard at your craft for years and years.” Then, yeah, total luck.
Basically, as inspirational refrigerator magnets the world over tell us, the harder you work, the luckier you get. One lost opportunity isn’t the end for you. One big chance isn’t the only big chance you’ll get. After all, John Mulaney’s sitcom got picked up by Fox. If you really, truly believe that talent and hard work always win out, you’ll realize that you never just have one chance. | <urn:uuid:bfaf8dea-d970-4279-bbb6-588c45be98c8> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://welcometoladyville.com/tag/self-help/ | 2016-02-09T07:28:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701156627.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193916-00025-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957152 | 656 |
The Way You Made Me Laugh . . .
Cry, sigh and – ahem – very possibly ovulate was one of the highlights of this month. Maybe you should post adorable squishy baby photos on my Facebook wall to dial up the baby fever a bit more, eh?
Seriously, though, thank you for sharing your stories of beauty and strength. I am in awe of you! Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to share the little things that made my month sparkle just a bit more.
Things That Made Me Smile In July
- Transforming a premature fruit harvest known as “Mommy, I shook the tree!” into peaches and cream, peach freezer jam, 6 quarts of pear butter and counting
- Waiting for the figs to ripen, and trying not to shake the tree myself!
- Discovering the “Stuff You Missed In History Class” podcast. Because yes, I really **do** need to try to solve the mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart while stargazing myself to sleep at night
- Impromptu conversations with total strangers about Sandor Katz, Katie’s love of exact change, and what I’m going to do with 10 pounds of cabbage (here’s a hint)
- These dessert bars, because I love anything with lemon filling
- Rediscovering an old time-saving trick – easy meatballs in my freezer for a rainy day (or better yet, a sunny day when I’d rather be out playing than cooking!)
- Losing my Southern Taco Queen crown to my friend, because I got her seasoning recipe instead
- Finding a pearl in my oyster
- Real, honest-to-goodness homemade French’s-style mustard for the perfect July cookout (with soaked white bean flour instead of arrowroot)
- And of course, these moments ♥ | <urn:uuid:b31fae3d-c2ba-4957-93b5-3743664dec25> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.mommypotamus.com/things-i-love-july/ | 2016-04-29T06:00:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860110764.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161510-00100-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.90737 | 401 |

Tire marks dug into the dirt and small skid marks on the concrete point to the spot where Tammy McCall slipped into an eight-foot deep canal.
"It appears the vehicle drove in. There was no evidence of a collision. Mis-negotiated the levy and drove straight into the canal," Lindsay Police Chief Rich Wilkinson said.
Police believe darkness and disorientation may have led McCall to a dead end not far from her home.
Family members said McCall had recently been diagnosed with the early stages of dementia. And the accident happened shortly after she dropped off her son at work early on the morning of January 18.
Dive teams searched the canal for days but only found McCall's car. McCall proved harder to find. But the discovery Friday put to rest any notion of foul play.
"They conducted a medical examination and were able to conclude that she passed as a result of drowning," Wilkinson said.
McCall's family expressed gratitude for all the help they got during the search, but they also asked for privacy as they move forward with funeral plans. | <urn:uuid:17bc21e1-90a6-4c98-9711-d60a3ac30085> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://abc30.com/archive/9413940/ | 2017-02-26T10:09:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171971.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00534-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977231 | 223 |

Rohs Street Cafe grew out of University Christian Church’s desire to connect with the Clifton Heights community, and to see social justice and fair trade practices brought to the forefront of coffee culture in Cincinnati. We’re committed to partnering with local, national, and international roasters to provide fair and direct trade coffee and tea - helping to work toward a future where all members of the supply chain can benefit. We strive to serve only local and organic products, caring for the planet and the living things that populate it. And we’re passionate about serving the Clifton Heights community here in Cincinnati, providing a place where anyone and everyone is welcome.
At first glance, you might say that we’re in the coffee business - but we prefer to think we’re in the hospitality business. It’s our number one priority that you feel safe and welcome here. We’re open late as a warm and inviting place for students to study and it’s a huge space with plenty of seating, so feel free to hang out. Our building gets used for just about everything throughout the week. Though we’re closed on Sunday mornings so we can have services next door at University Christian Church, during the week you’re likely to see everything from business meetings to jazz concerts. No matter what though, you’ll feel right at home in our space. | <urn:uuid:9d16427b-a1a5-4497-a873-dcc3b3c5615c> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.rohsstreetcafe.com/about-1 | 2018-08-17T05:33:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221211719.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20180817045508-20180817065508-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.937622 | 288 |
- Do we have an appropriate amplifier?
- True challenge could be to find a feedthrough for the new port. (or to find a space for the amplifier in the box)
- PDXXX channels is on the DC whitening filter module. There could be some modification on this module (like diabling the whitening gain selector).
- We don't have AS11 and AS165, and so far it is unlikely to use AS11. i.e. The feedthrough, the slot on the crate, the whitening, and the channels can be trasnsition from 11 to 110.
I want to amplify that by ~10 dB, to give 9 dBm. Attenuate by 5 dB to get to 4 dBm, then split into 2, giving me 2 110 MHz spigots, each of ~1 dBm.

Northeast corner of Tenth and Callowhill Streets, Philadelphia, Pa.
An interesting and attractive white building, possible an octagon, shows three sides. It has "Soap & Candle Manufactory" painted on it. Benches are on either side of the front door. Fanlights are over the two doors which are visible. The side of the building facing Tenth Street also houses "Lyons Stoves & Ranges." Numerous sample stoves stand curbside under a protective awning. "Klinger Brewery" is farther along Tenth Street and in the other direction, along Callowhill Street at # 923, is a store selling segars. The Callowhill Street horsecar is passing this building. At the left margin another horsecar, which travels along Tenth and Eleventh Streets, enters the scene. Below this horsecar are the words "Ridge Ave." Another set of horsecar tracks enters the scene from Ridge Avenue and merges with the tracks on Tenth Street. A leafless tree and gaslight complete the scene along with the three pedestrians.

The Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured images of the remnants of the large meteor. This stereo anaglyph combines two views from MISR, taken at 23:55 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a few minutes after the event. The anaglyph has been rotated 93.8 degrees counterclockwise to enable 3D viewing. The 3D effect can be seen with red-blue glasses, with the red lens placed over the left eye -- you may need to allow a few seconds for your eyes to relax to see the height of the orange-tinted cloud, visible in the lower right. This cloud was left behind the fireball after it super-heated the air it passed through. The shadow of the meteor's trail through Earth's atmosphere, cast on the cloud tops and elongated by the low sun angle, is to the northwest.
The Dec. 18 fireball was the most powerful meteor to be observed since 2013; however, given its altitude and the remote area over which it occurred, the object posed no threat to anyone on the ground. The angular information from MISR's nine cameras can be combined to calculate the height of the fireball in the atmosphere, which was 17.5 miles (28.1 kilometers) above sea level – more than three times the cruising altitude of a commercial plane and well into the stratosphere.

We're good at free throws
Nothing else is watchable
I defended Jeff Bzdelik, even passionately, for a long time. This is absolutely inexcusable. We've gone from a storied program to a national joke in less than two years. I don't think it's worth firing Ron Wellman if he doesn't buy Bzdelik out, but that's the extent of my mercy. Wellman has earned my good graces enough to allow this contract to expire, but if he extends Coach Bzdelik's contract, it's time to blow up the athletic department. Mind you, I'm not saying I don't want Wellman to execute a buyout, but I also could see it as him taking his time in a coaching search so as to avoid another panicked hire.
My sympathies go out to the players, the fans, even the assistant coaches. My sympathies for Jeff Bzdelik extend insofar as I never wish failure on anyone, and Bzdelik seems like a good man who wants to help, but he is failing in every regard, and frequently throwing his young players under the bus in the process. And that's not okay. That's not okay at all.
In protest, I will not have any sort of sign off. | <urn:uuid:1f3cd3a2-1afc-47bf-af6c-e763cdf09352> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.bloggersodear.com/2012/2/11/2792451/game-recap-in-haiku-tigers-trounce-deacs-78-58 | 2021-09-24T00:46:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057479.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20210923225758-20210924015758-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.983212 | 265 |
