Plot: A dedicated New York psychiatrist Sam Foster urgently attempts to stop a secretive and unusual young patient he inherited, Henry Lethem, from carrying out a planned suicide on the eve of his 21st birthday. But Sam's investigation of Henry has reality-shattering effects on the psychiatrist. As Sam is drawn deeper into the web of Henry's life--and then into the labyrinth of his subconscious--it puts stress on Sam's relationship with his artist girlfriend and former patient Lila. But soon Sam's own tightly-held grip on the rational world begins to melt away. Faced with increasingly surreal encounters and a Manhattan transformed into a wildly shifting dreamscape, Sam can no longer figure out what is true and what is happening only in his head, nor where he begins and Henry ends.
Cube follows a handful of diverse people who wake up inside a uniquely designed prison -- a gigantic cube with individual chambers that are constantly changing configuration, much like a rotating Rubik's Cube. It's a simple Darwinian tale of survival of the fittest as the prisoners ponder the nature and identity of their jailers and struggle to find a way out.

This couch critic called the Crusaders, Lions, Hurricanes and Chiefs to be the semi-finalists. What I wasn’t expecting was that the Lions would be the team to have the toughest time getting past a motivated Sharks outfit.
Elton Jantjies is a man of extremes – he is prodigiously talented but often very good on the day or very bad (the last few seasons it has been much more of the former). On Saturday Jantjies was poor. He didn’t find his stride in terms of tactically controlling the game and his goal kicking was shocking. The visitors for their part were up for the challenge of upsetting the table toppers. The Sharks played with passion and commitment eclipsing anything we’ve seen from them thus far this season as Lions couldn’t get in their attacking groove in the first half, this was largely down to the Natalians stifling them with in your face aggression on defence.
I was concerned that the usual high tempo, high risk game of the Joburgers would came back to bite them in play off rugby. In the shape of an interception from a rushed quick lineout this proved to be the case early doors. But coach Ackermann is adamant that his chargers stick to what they know and believe in and we saw the other side of this same coin as an opportunistic quick-tap penalty from Harold Vorster put Lionel Mapoe away for a crucial try. One waits to see whether this approach will see them shipping champagne in ultimate celebration or reaching for the stronger stuff in sorrow in the end. Either way it is much more of a seat on a rollercoaster than a relaxed view from the lazyboy when watching the Lions in action.
Supporters of the Sharks were up in arms about a late penalty which could and possibly should have gone their way but regardless of the commitment and intensity shown by the visitors the Lions just had too much fire power on attack. The home side ran in three unanswered tries after the turnaround in a 20 minute stint where they showed the difference in attacking quality between the two teams. More on the Sharks later in this piece.
As expected the Hurricanes just had too much quality and class for the Brumbies. The Aussies put up a good scrap but in the end these Kiwi sides make it count when they get an opportunity and the Canes were once again very good at this. The Lions will certainly be well tested by a Hurricane side who play a similar game to them and will know that mistakes against the Wellington men will be harshly punished.
It was more of a swimming gala than a rugby game in Christchurch on Saturday. Unfortunately for the Highlanders it seemed they were up against the Olympic freak, Michael Phelps on the night. Despite conditions making it a lot less of a spectacle this clash was very much worth the watch. The home side were sublime in terms of their game awareness, strategy and tactics.
In a perfect blue print of how to play in wet conditions the forwards of the Crusaders dominated the wrestling match upfront and the backline players all utilised the boot to tactical perfection. It might not have been pretty but how the Crusaders were able to adapt their game to the conditions was mightily impressive. A Chiefs side back from a visit to the Republic will have a hard time laying siege on fortress AMI.
In Capetown it was a proper arm-wrestle but in the end the experience of the Chiefs won through. It was not pretty to watch but it was hotly contested. The Stormers fronted up to the physical challenge but in the end they were just a bit more tactically naïve than their opponent from New Zealand. Despite a few of these Stormers heading abroad the Capetonians still have a good young core of players who will be better for the experience of hosting the Chiefs in a knockout clash.
My weekly PMS moan is directed at the Sharks this time around. Post-match social media was rife with people bemoaning the performance of the referee and in particular with not getting a penalty in the dying seconds. Sharks coach, Robert du Preez blitzed his way through the after-match presser bitterly disappointed with the performance of the ref. This critic reckons it’s a bitch rich for the Sharks to get on their high horse.
Firstly the Durbanites were only really in the contest due to the erring boot of Elton Jantjies. Secondly a struggling Lions team were still able to out-score the men in black by three tries to 2 (of these one came from an intercept as well). Then there was the fact that the Sharks could rather have looked to themselves to apportion blame. Lwazi Mvovo (playing out of position) went for the absurd option of trying to run a kicked ball back with 3 minutes left to play in the crunch contest and his team leading by a single point. He lost the ball and then proceeded to concede the match deciding penalty as well. Etienne Oosthuizen also had his customary negative impact by impeding a would-be Lions defender and in so doing cancelled out a Sharks try. Thus Du Preez would do well to take an internal look at his own team rather than looking for a scapegoat.
Lastly let’s be quite frank about this; the Sharks faithful might have been red in the face with anger after the match but they would have turned pink from embarrassment by the Hurricanes as the Kiwis are in a different league at present. The Canes would have had a field day – in wet or dry – against the KZN franchise and it would without a doubt have been a waste of a plane trip.
Finishing off my Monday moan session I saw a few ex-Shark players and men involved with management and development at the union get on the band-wagon of how the Sharks were “robbed”. My advice to the Shark suit wearers would be to focus their energy on ensuring the union keep as many of the talented crop of Craven Week players at the Sharks as possible. In the past the men form this part of the country have made same howlers in the transfer market – notable ones the last few seasons have been established internationals like Matt Stevens and Clement Poitrenaud who both took big cheques but brought little for that investment.
This critic feels they should have started to turn their focus inward rather than outward in terms of player scouting a long time ago. Quality schools like Hilton, Michaelhouse, Martizburg, Glenwood, DHS, etc. produce top talent on an annual basis. One would have thought that the Sharks would have figured out some way of keeping more of these young stars in their region by now. Gary Teichmann and his brains trust need to find a viable solution to the problem of young talent drain in their midst. Come on guys – take the time effort and money to develop your local young talent rather than looking for quick-fix solutions form over the hill fading stars.

Hard setback for Elon Musk: The new Tesla plant has to close again!
This is certainly not how Elon Musk envisioned the first months of his new Tesla plant in Grünheide (Brandenburg).
According to a report from image the giga factory, which opened in march, has to close again!
Consequently, the drastic measure is necessary because production is far worse than expected. Of the 500,000 electric cars to be produced per year, one is miles away with 1000 vehicles produced per week.
For that to change, the processes have to change. To carry out this project, the new plant will remain closed for two weeks.
Various changes are then planned during this closing time: Among other things, they apparently want to review the shift system so that in future work will be carried out in three instead of two shifts.
In addition, the overall manufacturing process will be speeded up. Until now, the cars have been at different production sites for up to three minutes. This time should be reduced to about half a minute.
As if concerns about the already open production facility weren’t big enough, the future of the planned battery factory is apparently still in the stars. According to the report, employees are simply lacking for the expansion to make car batteries planned for the end of the year. Of the 9,000 workers needed, 4,500 are still missing.
Because it is not entirely clear whether Tesla will also be able to control battery production in the coming months, politicians are reacting. The mayor of Grünheide, Arne Christiani (63), removed the corresponding development plan from the list of current concerns. As Musk’s business in Brandenburg is currently doing, too many community representatives are dubious about the point of further development.
Perhaps the CEO has enough concerns with the currently troubled plant, which has already been put into operation…

For nearly two weeks now, the American Red Cross is doing what we've come to expect from the charity...helping people recover from a disaster. Red Cross workers and volunteers are spread out across numerous states in the northeast helping people hit hard by Hurricane Sandy.
Some volunteers from Louisiana are among them. We know better than most that it will be a long road ahead for Hurricane Sandy victims. We also know how important the Red Cross can be for those trying to recover. The Red Cross is mandated by the federal government to respond to major disasters, but it gets no federal funding on a regular basis. And, while the Red Cross responds to every natural disaster, its most common response is to house fires, helping people devastated by those personal tragedies.
The Red Cross depends on donations from people like you to be able to help all those fire victims, while still responding to big disasters. The American Red Cross has become one of a handful of indispensable charities in this country. We encourage you to help the Red Cross help people in Louisiana and around the country in their times of need. | <urn:uuid:276ea36e-0a90-4fdb-bbfd-a624883afdc4> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.wafb.com/story/20052074/slideshow?widgetid=86735 | 2014-04-17T01:06:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609526102.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005206-00647-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960406 | 217 |

Well, it was a while ago that some Polish guys were openly advertising
their 465K zombie network - I'd be most surprised if it isn't over 1M by
now. And remember that hierarchical design is understood in the black
hat world too. If somebody has 1M bots, it won't be 1M bots in one network,
it will be several hundred subnets of several thousand bots, and some
automated way to signal several hundred control nodes to each fire up
their several thousand bots. So you may already have whacked off a 1%
chunk of that 1M net several times already and not even realized it....

For those of you who have not seen the newest project from Joel Hodgson and the other geniuses behind the award-winning Mystery Science Theater 3000… get bust and see it. I approached The Oozing Skull with some trepidation. Though I watch the program on an almost daily basis, it has been years since I’ve seen anything new comer from them. My expectations were low. Very low.
As such I almost collapsed in tears when the movie proved to be an almost perfect distillation of everything I love about MST3K. The five performers (Trace Beaulie, Mary Joe Pehl, Josh Weinstein, Frank Conniff and Joel himself) took me right back to those late night viewings of Hercules and the Captive Women, or the belly aches I got from laughing at the ‘Tried to Kill Me With a Forklift!’ song from Fugitive Alien.
The only drawback was that it was over too soon. But I’m hoping that there are more on their way… soon. | <urn:uuid:51ca2438-cd9e-4f09-baef-5d50fc8ae064> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://dailypop.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/ | 2013-12-05T09:33:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163043224/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131723-00072-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960238 | 216 |
A beautiful church wedding
When I met Helen and Paul in April last year at Hanbury Manor Spring wedding fair, straight away, I got very excited at the thought of playing a part in their big day as Helen was dreaming of a floral arch (I am obsessed with floral arches) and to top it all, just like me she was french! (Which meant that we would get to do some wedding planning in french!!)
They already had a florist for their reception but were looking for someone who could help make their ceremony at St-Emmanuel's Church in Northwood look beautiful. We agreed that it would be a shame to only use the arch at the church so despite a tight schedule, I was up to taking the arch down and transport it to their venue in Ware after the ceremony. This way, they would be able to enjoy it with their guests during the reception.
Helen wanted the flowers in the arch to match her bouquet's pure white and pink theme so we decided to go for white hydrangeas, sweet avalanche roses, pink O'haras (one of my favorites for the delicate smell), lady bombastic roses, pink astible and some white lysianthus.
As well as the arch, the aisle was decorated with delicate pew ends. Guests were also welcomed by a large floral urn at the entrance of the church. | <urn:uuid:454ff847-7e51-443b-82b0-b1fa2554cd97> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.whitebowparties.com/single-post/2017/08/05/a-beautiful-wedding-arch | 2021-01-18T04:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703514121.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210118030549-20210118060549-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.986941 | 282 |
It's been a very tough weekend, for some reason. I've sunk deep into self-defeating thoughts--I will never sell my novel, I will never find happiness, this feeling of loneliness is going to plague me for the rest of my life, etc.
It's funny, because on the face of it, it was a pretty decent weekend.
On Friday, I went to a party in what may have been the most gorgeous apartment building I've ever seen. As soon as you walk in, an enormous wooden staircase is visible, gleaming so brightly you almost expect to smell the polish. After traipsing along the regal ruby carpet to the base of the staircase, you look up to see the gorgeous spiral--brown, yellow, white--made by the banister, the creamy yellow walls, the white trim. The people in attendance were beautiful, too--so much so that at one point, a newcomer said, "My god, I've never been in a room with so many gorgeous people." And the banter was good; someone made a joke about the egg nog being rather like gasoline, and someone else said, "Ah yes, a bit more viscous and somewhat less potent--but exactly, I see what you mean."
Even better, of course, I met a very nice professor-in-training person (who doesn't live in town) who seemed to love poems and Russian writers as much as I do; someone who'd attempted to write his own novel and seemed very empathetic about the difficulties of actually getting a book published. At one point I said to him, nervously, "The very stupid thing is that it never occurred to me, before I started writing this novel, that I should only undertake such a thing if I were very smart."
He seemed a little confused.
Then I said, "Well, I'm not some brilliant writer genius. I just ... I had this idea that I might be able to tell a story that would help people feel less lonely--that's what I wanted to do."
He smiled very kindly and gently, his eyes twinkling behind his little circular glasses, his teeth ever so slightly crooked--or was it his lips? "Well, that's the best reason of all to write something," he said.
Perhaps his smile was so especially nice that it made the moment a little more potent that it would have been otherwise--but my heart did surge a bit with relief over the feeling of human connection. (Oh boy, why am I crying?)
Then ... he went on to tell me how he broke up with someone recently, and how the relationship had been such an emotional drain that he felt like he just didn't have it in him to get serious with anyone else for a while.
Which was fine. That little nugget from before--that moment of reassurance and understanding--should have been enough to keep me going for a while, really, shouldn't it? And we've also exchanged a nice round of emails.
* * *
Saturday was Jake Stein's birthday! He is out in L.A. now, for the holidays, with his family. (A family I still want to be a part of. They are so wonderful). But happily, he had some time for a nice birthday chat. I don't think Jake is the one who got away--nothing like that. But I do often wish I could find someone a bit like him, with such a good sense of humor, interests that overlap with mine, and an ability to talk about his emotions; someone who feels so much like a friend.
Later that afternoon, I went to a very cozy little party, not far away from my place in Brooklyn. But I left--maybe before I was quite ready to leave--because I had a couple of other parties I wanted to get to. When I got down to street level, however, the snow was everywhere--feets and feets of it, piling up everywhere. And I wasn't properly bundled up; I was only wearing fishnets and my new gray skirt with little ankle booties. So I decided to go home and change ... During the drive home, I skidded out a couple times ... And then once I got home, I thought, You know, I really haven't worked hard enough this week; I should try to get a little writing done before I had out again. ... A half-hour later, I'd decided to stay in for the night, missing the rest of the festivities.
The decision to stay in and WORK on a Saturday night seems to be indicative of SOMETHING THAT IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH ME. The thing being ... that I don't take enough risks?
I could've--should've?--stayed at the afternoon party a bit longer. But because I didn't know anyone there, and because I don't even know the host that well, I left, thereby eliminating my chances for any good blizzard adventure.
And this seems to be a problem not only in terms of me having a satisfying weekend, but with me having a satisfying life: I'm unwilling to take a chance, put myself out there in any kind of meaningful way, unwilling to dwell in any emotional zone where I don't feel at ease.
All the same ... a few weeks ago, I relaxed, for once, and had a little too much to drink (for once) at a party, and I did something I really regretted. Which, of course, I'll have to tell you about before long.
And ... come to think of it ... simply agreeing to give things a whirl with Jake felt like an enormous risk at the time. And I did lose him as a friend for a while after we split up, which was incredibly painful, although luckily, it all came back together in the end.
I guess I'm just saying: I feel damned if I DO take a risk, and damned if I don't!

Additionally, there is the provision of an extensive angle view, that contracts with a noticeable camera positioned to make sure the presence is not detected.
Fiber optics have simply refashioned the communication since the old transmission method cannot have the completion with the new standards performance, which there is setting with fiber optics concerning the data transfer. Using the optic cables the information is transferred higher. The technology has extremely become convenient because the optic cable can cover the transmission of TV, telecommunication, internet transmission.

INSTALLING VENTS IN TIGHT SPACES
Hooking up the vent for a clothes dryer is challenging in the best of situations since the outlet is tight up against the back of the appliance. It becomes even more challenging in tight spaces, such as when the dryer is located in a small closet.
When hooking up a dryer that has a wall vent near the dryer discharge vent, you may require a special dryer vent connector, an offset dryer vent. These special vents use two opposing vent connections that slide on tracks to adjust the distance between the center of each vent and also allow rotational flexibility.
5 Steps Must Be Applied:
Step 1. Pull Out The Dryer
The first step is to pull out the dryer, and unplug the unit.
Step 2. Disconnect The Old Vent
Now that you are behind the dryer, disconnect the old vent. If you are in a tight space, it may be difficult to unscrew the metal clamp holding the dryer vent to the flanges.
Step 3. Install The Best Dryer Vent Hose For Tight Spaces
For dryer vent installations in tight spaces, It is recommended installing the flexible foil type of dryer vent instead of flexible metal. The flexible metal vents are great dryer vents — very high quality — but they are terrible in tight spaces, and not worth the grief.
Step 4. Install Foil Tape
It is recommend putting one layer of aluminum foil tape over the metal clamp and flange to give it a very tight seal.
Especially in a tight space behind the dryer vent, you don’t want the connection coming loose so you have to do it again.
Step 5. Push Back Dryer And Check Vent
Now it is time to push the dryer back into the space. You want to do this step very carefully, because you don’t want to crush or damage the dryer vent. Do it slowly, and periodically check the dryer vent. You can use a mirror if you can’t lean far enough to see it. | <urn:uuid:2f54a5d1-cf6e-4ca0-a651-39f6d06f3dbe> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://drcleanair.ca/how-to-install-a-dryer-vent-in-a-tight-spaces/ | 2022-09-26T06:08:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334802.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926051040-20220926081040-00273.warc.gz | en | 0.89829 | 431 |

A while ago my friend Mel set up a website called The Pygmy Giant - not entirely sure (or at all sure) where the name came from, possibly Mel's diminuitive stature, but that needn't worry us right now. The website is for flash fiction - which Wikipedia describes as "fiction characterised by its extreme brevity". Poems or stories of under 2000 words, more or less, which one can read easily in one go, and which generally has some quick, singular impact. Great fun, and interesting to see what people can do with few words.
Anyway, I submitted a poem the other day, and it is now in place. Not the most cheery ditty in the world, but I quite liked it. If any of you are budding writers, or just fancy the challenge of seeing what you can write in a short space, then I'm sure Mel would love to hear from you. Email firstname.lastname@example.org but do check the submission guidelines first; for one thing, I think everyone submitting work is British, or at least living in Britain. That's because there are lots of American flash fiction websites out there, and Mel wanted to try something a bit different.
Do go and check out the site, there's some really interesting stuff going on over there. And if I ever performed by friendship role better, I might even be an assistant editor. I'll settle with contributor for now. | <urn:uuid:556b9cd1-90a6-45c9-929e-83357b26cfdb> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://stuck-in-a-book.blogspot.com/2007/12/poet.html | 2015-11-27T08:13:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398448389.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205408-00005-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973656 | 303 |
In 1944, Congress created the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act, later to be known as the G.I. Bill. The G.I. Bill provided an extensive collection of government-sponsored benefits to help returning soldiers better acclimate to civilian life after World War II and as a big “thank you” for their service to their country. Without a doubt, the veteran’s home loan entitlement program is the most widely-used VA benefit available today, with more than 20 million home loans insured by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs since the program’s inception.
The VA home loan provides qualifying veterans, service members and reservists financing to buy a house with no money down and reduced closing costs with the lowest delinquency rate of any mortgage program in the market today. Yet despite its advantages, many lenders and eligible borrowers shun the VA program due to its perceived complexity. Even the eligible borrowers that truly want the VA loan can find themselves cajoled into other, more familiar loan programs from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and even the FHA loan program.
The VA loan program does indeed have its own internal approval guidelines but they’re not a mystery and lenders who tend to shy away from offering the VA loan are doing a disservice to those who qualify. VA loans are quite easy to both approve and qualify for but the process takes a slightly different path than other programs. That’s why lenders who specialize in VA loans capture a greater market share and dominate the VA home loan marketplace.
This book, The Ultimate Guide to VA Home Loans provides frank, easy to follow advice for those seeking their first or their final VA loan. From a thorough explanation on qualifying, credit and finances to describing the simple pleasures of home ownership, the author provides an invaluable contribution to his fellow veterans with his first book. For those planning to use their VA home loan benefit, reading this book is the very first step toward a owning their very own home. | <urn:uuid:ca5a2951-86e2-4399-a9aa-2df2282efede> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-ultimate-guide-to-va-loans | 2019-06-16T13:14:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998238.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20190616122738-20190616144738-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.970761 | 405 |

|La Madre Goose|
Traditional Mother Goose rhymes retold with Spanish.
Illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal

Elya reinterprets 18 classic nursery rhymes, incorporating Spanish vocabulary into offerings like “Three Little Gatitos” (who have lost their mitoncitos) and “Little Miss Amarilla,” who “sat in her silla,/ eating her beans and arroz.” Debut illustrator Martinez-Neal contributes ultra-cozy mixed-media scenes featuring multiethnic children and anthropomorphic animals. In one of the most successful reworkings, rabbit spouses nuzzle happily near their brand-new pumpkin home: “Peter, Peter Calabaza,/ got a wife for his new casa./ When she saw the round casita/ she repainted it—bonita!” Ages 5–8.
Elya’s spin on Mother Goose offers a collection of nursery favorites spiced with a Latin American twist.
The most successful of these offerings incorporate Spanish words within the familiar cadences of traditional rhymes. “What are las niñas made of? / Azúcar and flores / And all los colores. / That’s what las niñas are made of!” But most of them bog down in gratingly awkward phrasing resulting from the substitution of two-syllable Spanish words for one-syllable English words—without accommodating meter. Employing “This little cerdo had roasted carne” instead of opting for the more streamlined “This little cerdo had carne” ruins the lyrical integrity of the verse. Other substitutions are unsuccessful on a content front. The transformation of “Sunday’s child” into a bullfighter is disappointing, as is the thieving plate holding a bag of loot (fortuna, to rhyme with luna) in “Hey, Diddle, Diddle.” Both “Old Mother Hubbard” (“Old Madre Rosario”) and “Little Jack Horner” (“Young Juan Ramón”) have been nearly completely rewritten but retain the gists of the originals. Martinez-Neal’s illustrations (made with acrylics, colored pencils, and graphite) abound with multiethnic children sporting the requisite chubby-cheeked features of the toddler set, and the artist’s animals are of the obligatory fuzzy and frolicking kind seen festooning preschool classrooms.
Not one of Elya’s stellar efforts. Such previous offerings as Little Roja Riding Hood (2014) and No More, Por Favor (2010) are far better examples of her snappy language-integration skills. (Picture book. 3-6)

Valentine’s Day is like marmite. You either love it or hate it.
People either buy into the whole romantic holiday or they can’t stand anything to do with it.
Some find it too commercial, others are single and uninterested and there are people who simply want to boycott the whole thing.
If you want to take a stand and avoid it like the plague or want to have fun with your friends instead, here’s a few things you can do.
Take advantage of delivery service
Netflix and chill? Netflix and take-away more like.
Fall in love with pizza or Chinese food this Valentine’s day.
Let’s be honest, the best way to avoid the day all together would be to stay in, save money and avoid any cute looking couples.
So that means staying away from the romance genre of films and sticking on a horror or something unromantic and ordering some food from the local takeaway - or fire up your Deliveroo app.
You’re probably going to have to steer clear of any restaurants on Valentine’s day.
It’s likely they’ll be filled with couples gazing into each other's eyes and sharing a dessert.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t go out and enjoy a drink.
You won’t be able to hear anyone whisper sweet nothings in a nightclub and luckily the music won’t be slow enough for slow dancing.
Have a laugh
One of the best ways to avoid Valentine’s Day is to forget about it all together.
Having a laugh and visiting one of Liverpool’s comedy clubs is a great way to forget about all it all.
Comedy Central on the Albert Dock and Hot Water Comedy Club on Seel Street both have comedy nights on February 14.
You’ll be too busy laughing and enjoying yourself to worry about what anyone else is doing.
Go to a gig
There’s always a gig somewhere in Liverpool, whether there’s a big act in the Echo arena or an unsigned band in one of the independent music venues.
What better way to drown out Valentine’s day than listening to some live music?
Popular venues such as the Zanzibar and EBGBs have gigs on regularly throughout February and Irish pub O'Neill's has a night of live bands and open mic on Valentine’s Day.
A good thing about avoiding Valentine’s day means you won’t have anyone to spend money on and you can save a little bit for yourself.
With that money you could treat yourself to that pair of shoes you have been eyeing up lately.
Or better still, you could take a trip to the spa and unwind with a massage and facial.
Go the cinema with friends
Not all films in the cinema on Valentine’s day are gushy and romantic.
You could go the pictures with friends and treat yourself to a large popcorn and Tango Ice Blast.
Just make sure you steer clear of 50 Shades Darker.
Why not opt for new horror or thriller blockbuster such as Split or Rings.
Valentine's Day - hot or not?
Sleep the day away or stay off social media
You can’t be reminded of Valentine’s Day if you put your blinkers on.
Spend the majority of the day cosy in bed , enjoy some alone time and wait until it all blows over.
Why not invite a friend over, put on a film and keep each other company ignoring while ignoring it all.
Better still, stay off social media for the whole day to avoid seeing anybody posting cute pictures of what they have received. | <urn:uuid:77f9ca3a-6ccf-4241-b713-5a7bc4eace14> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/things-youre-avoiding-valentines-day-12578117 | 2018-03-17T18:47:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645280.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180317174935-20180317194935-00717.warc.gz | en | 0.911583 | 777 |
BrAMS combines top class clinical services with cutting edge research. Donations can be made to support BrAMS through Southmead Hospital Charity with all funds going directly to the provision of clinical research and facilities at the BrAMS centre and our own laboratory research based at Southmead Hospital Bristol.
Stem cell research offers the potential for exciting developments in many areas of medicine, including the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Professor Neil Scolding and the MS and Stem Cell Research Group at the Burden Institute centre its activity on understanding the cell biology of multiple sclerosis, focusing on the repair of the nervous system through stem cell therapy to prevent nerve fibre loss and to help repair damage. Pioneering research undertaken by the unit investigates how treatment with bone marrow stem cells might be beneficial to people with MS and this may eventually lead to new treatments.
"We firmly believe that bone marrow cells could have a valuable therapeutic impact in Multiple Sclerosis, and both our clinical trial work and our laboratory research are geared towards exploring, developing and maximising this effect - which we hope in the future will also apply to other neurodegenerative diseases." Professor Neil Scolding, Burden Professor of Clinical Neurosciences.
The BrAMS unit also participates in many ongoing international and national multicentre clinical studies, testing drugs to see whether they should be approved for wider use in the general population for those with MS.
These also provide a vital source of revenue for the unit, funding many key posts. We are fortunate that BrAMS has earned a reputation as a centre of excellence for the coordination of MS clinical trails.
"Through our own clinical research projects, including neurophysiological, MRI brain and spinal cord imaging and cogitative studies we hope to provide important data to allow future treatment studies for those with progressive disease. As a group, we fell that patients with both Primary and Secondary Progressive MS have largely been neglected by clinical trials in the past largely due to the lack of such measures." Dr David Cottrell, Consultant Neurologist, BrAMS centre.
BrAMS is looking for funding to support both a post doctoral research assistant to work with Professor Scolding to explore our work into stem cells further and a research registrar to coordinate the medical examination of patients and individual programme trails and hold weekly MS and trial clinics.
Just £3 a month, 10p a day will make a real and lasting difference to the future of multiple sclerosis.

WILMINGTON, Del — A federal bankruptcy judge cleared the way Thursday for the Tribune Co. to sell the Chicago Cubs and the storied Wrigley Field to the family of billionaire and longtime fan Joe Ricketts.
Judge Kevin J. Carey authorized Tribune to sell the family a 95 percent stake in the team, the stadium and related sports properties for $845 million.
The deal also needs approval from three-quarters of Major League Baseball's 30 team owners. The owners have not scheduled a vote on the Cubs sale, although one could come as soon as their meeting in November.
The Tribune plan calls for a separate bankruptcy filing by Chicago National League Ball Club, an affiliate not involved in Tribune's current Chapter 11 case. The CNLBC bankruptcy proceedings should last only a few days but is needed to ensure that sale is free of all liens and claims and that existing contracts can be transferred to the new owner.
Chicago-based Tribune, which owns the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, other newspapers and TV properties, bought the Cubs in 1981 from candy maker Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. for $20.5 million.
Tribune had announced on Opening Day in 2007 that the marquee franchise and historic ballpark would be sold at the end of that season. But the process was slowed by CEO Sam Zell's efforts to maximize sale profits, the collapse of the credit markets and Tribune's 2008 bankruptcy filing.
The Ricketts family, tentatively selected as the winning bidder last January, had agreed to pay about $900 million for the package. But that total was renegotiated, with Tribune retaining a small stake for tax purposes.
The sale figure exceeds the record $660 million paid for the Boston Red Sox, its ballpark and its TV network in 2002. The New York Times Co. is exploring a sale of its 17.8 percent stake in the properties.
Ricketts is founder of Omaha, Neb.-based online brokerage TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.

Real life has a way of rearing its head in all our lives. That’s what’s been going on in my life while y’all have been enjoying some scenes from our Memorial Day weekend.
My Humans had business that took them to a big southern city that was almost equal distance between the shore and the mountains. On Wednesday morning we woke up early, long before the first slice of day broke the morning moonless sky. The temperature was 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
As we drove the heat rose. We stopped more frequently than usual. The Humans kept saying the car needed a chance to rest in the steadily climbing temperatures.
I picked my head up when I spied another dog courageous enough to venture out with his humans.
Then I spied a beautiful field of daylilies.
Then we arrived in the city and it was in the high 90’s…so my Human had to wait in the car in the parking garage with me. She turned my crate fan on and kept starting the car to cool us down, then turning the car off so it wouldn’t over heat. Papa finally came out an hour earlier than expected.
Now I could get back to business!
At one stop we found doggie water fountains and more of those pretty yellow daylilies.
I was posing with the daylilies when I spotted…
Sam! Hey Sam! It’s me!
Only it wasn’t Sam!
Sure looks like Sam.
But this fellow just ignored me!
Then later we met another dog, but my Human wouldn’t let me meet him. Maybe ‘cause it was so hot and my Humans wanted to put some distance between us and the unbearable city heat.
Despite all his hair he didn’t seem to mind the heat too much.
Then, later, as we got closer to the mountains, we stopped to visit some cows.
Some of the cows had calves. They all tried to get in the shade of a couple of lonely trees.
Before I could get my Human to go ask, Papa called and we were off again.
Finally at dusk, which in the mountains falls after 9PM, we arrived!
It’s hard to tell in this picture but the flood light is already on.
Well, more tomorrow on real life! | <urn:uuid:40fa5164-da4a-49a3-beff-79e26dcf994e> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://browndogcbr.blogspot.com/2011/06/hot-hotter-hottest-and-real-life-too.html | 2018-05-23T05:34:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865450.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523043959-20180523063959-00166.warc.gz | en | 0.972073 | 487 |

Tucked away on page 4 of the Moscow Times today there is a remarkable article which made me wonder whether I wasn’t hallucinating.
Everyone knows that Russia is corrupt, but did you know just how corrupt? The short answer is: more than any other country. That, at least, is the conclusion of a survey just published by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which examines the level of economic crime around the world.
You might think that the scandal involving Hermitage Capital in Russia couldn’t get any more perturbing. If you have been following the case, you’ll be aware that the British investment fund, managed by American-born financier William Browder, has repeatedly accused Russian criminals and corrupt officials of stealing $230 million in funds from the Russian budget.
The Russian Interior Ministry is about to seek the arrest of William Browder, the chief executive of Hermitage Capital Management, for illegally evading taxes. That’s according to a front-page article in the Russian newspaper Kommersant, a leading political-economic daily.
President Obama and the leaders of France and Britain have deliberately raised the stakes in the confrontation over Iran’s nuclear programme by dramatising the disclosure that it is building a second uranium enrichment plant. Their shoulder-to-shoulder statements of resolve, less than a week before Iran opens talks with six major powers in Geneva, raised more questions than they answer.
In the wake of President Obama’s decision to scrap the U.S. missile defence shield in eastern Europe, many are pondering Russia’s response. The relationship will remain in the spotlight this week, when President Medvedev heads to the U.S. for the G20 summit. Although the precise nature of Russia’s reaction remains to be seen, it has a big incentive to improve relations. It badly needs American investment and co-operation to help solve serious economic problems at home.
After just six weeks as NATO secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen has his first crisis. The alliance may be slowly bleeding in an intractable war in Afghanistan, but the immediate cause is the U.S. administration’s decision to shelve a planned missile shield due to have been built in Poland and the Czech Republic.
The announcement that the major powers, including the United States, are going to open talks with Iran on Oct. 1 ought to be a source of rejoicing. After all, isn’t this what much of the world has been urging for several years, while the European Union conducted a frustrating, low-key dialogue like the warm-up band at a rock concert? | <urn:uuid:dbe156a2-df80-4c48-bc69-a39024577e1b> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://blogs.reuters.com/commentaries/tag/russia/ | 2016-02-08T10:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701152987.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193912-00214-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9521 | 547 |
Broncos Set to Host Soccer Etc./Nike Classic
What's Happening This Week -The Boise State women's soccer team will host the Soccer Etc./Nike Classic at the Boas Tennis and Soccer Complex, Aug. 19-21. The Big Sky's Montana, the Pacific-12's Oregon and Mountain West foe Wyoming will make the trip to Boise. Each team will face two of the other three teams in the field with one game, Friday and the other on Sunday. Boise State will take on Montana during the evening matchup Friday at 5 p.m. After a day of rest the Broncos will match up against Oregon at 2 p.m. Live stats will be available for each game of the tournament at www.broncosports.com.
Game 1 Preview - Montana - The Broncos will make their 2011 season debut against the Montana Grizzlies, Friday at 5 p.m.
Game 2 Preview - Oregon - The Broncos will conclude their weekend by hosting the Oregon Ducks, Sunday at 2 p.m.
Broncos in season Openers - Boise State is 6-6-1 in season openers but are 5-2 when the first game of the season is at home. In those seven games the Broncos have outscored the competition 16-8. The last time the Broncos opened a season at home was in 2008, when they beat Northwest Nazarene 3-0.
Playing for a Good Cause - The Boise State women's soccer team raised over 12,000 dollars for former player Amy Dunn during its exhibition with Arizona State at the Boas Tennis and Soccer Complex Aug. 12. Dunn, who played at Boise State from 2000-03 was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma and is currently undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Bronco Season Preview - A new season brings a new conference for Boise State soccer, which will look to find early success in the Mountain West. The Broncos have 23 players returning from last season, 12 of whom were also members of the 2009 Bronco squad that notched the program's first league tournament championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. The 2010 team tallied an overall record of 8-10-3 while finishing fifth in the WAC with a conference record of 4-2-2. The Broncos made it past the first round of the conference tournament with a double overtime win against Louisiana Tech, but fell to San Jose State in the semifinals 2-0.
The 2011 squad will be a veteran group, not only in age but experience. The team will have 12 players who were a part of the Bronco program during the post-season success in 2009 as well as the tough semifinal loss in 2010. The juniors and seniors who have seen the ups and downs will be complimented by a talented group of underclassmen looking to put their stamp on the Boise State program as it begins a new era in the Mountain West.
Preseason Predictions - The Broncos may have a chance to catch some opponents off guard this season after being voted to finish sixth in the preseason coaches' poll, notching 14 points. San Diego State was crowned the preseason favorite with 34 points and four first-place votes. Right behind the Aztecs was New Mexico, which earned 33 points and three first-place votes. The two front runners were voted well ahead of the rest of the field, which consists of UNLV (24), TCU (20), Wyoming (15) and Air Force (7).
2011 Schedule - The Broncos paid their dues in 2010, playing a majority of their games on the road. This year, they will have the favor returned with nine home games throughout the 2011 season, including two tournaments. Boise State will host three conference opponents, highlighted by a matchup against defending Mountain West champion New Mexico, Oct. 23.
Filling the boots - Though there is much experience returning for the 2011 season, this year's team will need to fill the holes left by 2010 seniors Malia Hendrix, Cheyenne Jones and Shannon Saxton, each of whom rank in the top 10 for most games started in school history.
Fresh Faces - Seven freshmen are included on the 2011 team, coming from Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The newcomers consist of midfielders/forwards KT Clayton (Kent, Wash.) and Jenna Griggs (Portland, Ore.), midfielders Noelle Kolb (Moorpark, Calif.) and Shannon Schueren (Bothell, Wash.), defenders Mikhaila Bowden (Huntington Beach, Calif.) and Avery Salisbury (Federal Way, Wash.) and goalkeeper Ashleigh Anderson (Lake Oswego, Ore.).
According to Lucas, the class of freshmen is one of the most athletic and experienced Boise State has seen. Even though they have yet to play a game at the collegiate level, Lucas likes that most have championship experience at the club level, something that will be beneficial when the newcomers battle for playing time this season.

Let's Talk Albums #11: It's a Scary Site by Fredo Santana
It's A Scary Site
I don't plan on being done with talking about drill albums for a bit. I feel that I will do a few more after finally getting to talking about one of my favorite Fredo tapes. Seems fitting that we make it the week of drill given the circumstances from earlier this week. Let's honor Fredo by going over the great tracks that are off one of his first tapes.
I think this song has been in my constant rotation since the day it first dropped. Its also easy to say that it is one of my favorite songs off the tape since it has both Lil Bibby and G Herbo featured on it. I think I may have mentioned it at some point this week, but G Herbo is my favorite drill rapper next to Lil Durk so its pretty easy to point this to being my favorite since its his only feature on this tape. Honestly both of their verses are pretty standard though, the real thing here is that I could have this chorus on repeat over and over again. It just never gets old for me.
Gotta love the classic 2012 reverb on this. The song starts with the chorus "Money power respect, all a nigga know, got junkies at my door, I sell a lot of coke" That whole chorus is probably just a great icon for drill music, but I guess the same could be said for trap music...if only he mentioned Chicago in there somewhere lol. Reese is actually on this song again, which isn't surprising since he is on like half the songs from this tape, but definitely not the reason that I love the song.
Young Chop on the beat is right. I would once again like to point out that even though I picked THREE songs that have Lil Reese, its just because I like the actual song as a whole! Fredo's verse is actually pretty weak here, he rides the same flow and lines as the chorus for the most part repeating "Fuck nigga you don't want no beef" similar to how it is in the chorus. Still a dope song.
I still plan on writing about at least one more Fredo tape, but haven't decided which one yet! You will for sure see another one soon. Probably another drill artist talk before that :).
Let me know any other suggestions you have! I am going to be talking about Blacc Hollywood soon based on the suggestion of user @rapdaily | <urn:uuid:0fce8f10-fc81-45c8-a413-7501f995ff55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://steemit.com/busy/@snrm/let-s-talk-albums-11-it-s-a-scary-site-by-fredo-santana | 2023-09-25T23:30:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510100.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20230925215547-20230926005547-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.980364 | 524 |
Washington Post launches news aggregation site
WASHINGTON — The Washington Post Co. launched a news aggregation website on Wednesday called “Trove” that allow readers to customize the news around their interests.
“Trove creates a customized news experience that factors in a reader’s likes and dislikes, combining state-of-the-art technology with expertise from the newsroom,” the Post Co. said in a statement.
Trove.com, which claims over 10,000 news sources including leading media outlets, also incorporates social media with a “Comments” feature that lets users connect with others with similar interests.
Users can also create their own customized news “channels” to display news stories about a particular interest.
“Because Trove is all about the individual user, the experience is customized and different for everyone,” Post Co. chief digital officer Vijay Ravindran said in a statement.
Trove uses Facebook Connect to pull in a user’s interests from their Facebook profile to begin building a personalized experience.
It features an “Editors’ Picks” selection of news of the day chosen by the site’s editorial team.
Trove is available for desktop computers but also Android and Blackberry devices. The Post Co. said iPhone and iPad applications were coming soon.
Faced with a steady decline in print advertising revenue and circulation, US newspaper publishers have been conducting a number of free and paid experiments on the Web.
The Washington Post Co. is also a partner with The News York Times and USA Today publisher Gannett in an online subscription-based news service called Ongo which launched last year.
The Washington Post was also among the signatories of a letter last month accusing iPad news reader Zite of copyright infringement.
Zite offers a customized and personalized news experience, displaying stories based on the interests and behavior of a particular user. | <urn:uuid:4b22cfee-cb0b-4979-873d-a593fa03ec0f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.rawstory.com/2011/04/washington-post-launches-news-aggregation-site/ | 2017-05-29T17:40:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612502.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529165246-20170529185246-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.937921 | 396 |
Carpet Cleaning Near Me
When it comes to carpet cleaning, you need to make sure you choose a professional company that has the right equipment and cleaning solutions. You also want to find a company that will fit into your budget.
A good carpet cleaning service should be able to do everything from removing stains and allergens to sanitizing the fibers of your carpets. This includes a thorough pre-cleaning inspection, and specialized methods. A fantastic read!
Whether it’s pollen, dust mites, mold or pet dander, indoor allergies are one of the most common problems facing asthma and allergy sufferers. They can cause symptoms like a stuffy nose, coughing, sneezing and itchy eyes and skin.
The problem with carpets is that they hold all of these allergens even after you’ve vacuumed them or had them professionally cleaned. That’s why it’s so important to keep them clean and dry as much as possible.
You also need to consider the type of carpet you’re choosing. For example, wool carpets are far more hospitable to bacteria and mold than nylon carpets.
The best way to avoid allergy issues is to vacuum your carpet regularly, using a vacuum that has a HEPA filter. This will help trap the dirt and allergens before they can escape into your home’s air.
A dirty carpet can have some serious health implications. It is a virtual breeding ground for allergens like pet dander, dust mites and bacteria. It also attracts and retains moisture that can lead to mold and mildew. Lastly, a dirtier rug can impede airflow and temperature regulation. A reputable company will use products designed to make your home cleaner and drier for longer, while ensuring the safety of you and your family. Getting your rugs professionally cleaned is an investment in the longevity of your home and family. Contact A OK Chem-Dry to learn more about our services and schedule a free estimate. Our specialized machines are designed to remove the toughest stains while preserving your floors for years to come. Our environmentally safe cleaning solutions are tested and proven to deliver the best results possible. Our cleaning solutions are formulated to lift, scour and extract dirt using safe, non-toxic techniques.
Odors are a challenge in carpet cleaning near me, mainly because they arise from contaminants that can get stuck deep into the fibers or backing. This includes pet messes, food and drink spills, dust mites and other irritants that can’t be removed by vacuuming.
Some odors are more difficult to eliminate than others, but there are things you can do to make your carpet smell fresh again. For instance, using white vinegar to absorb odors from the air is a good idea.
Similarly, baking soda is well-known for its ability to trap and remove odors. Sprinkle it generously over the area to be cleaned and allow it to set for a few hours or overnight, depending on how strong the odor is. The best part is that it’s very cheap and easy to do! You can even add a few drops of essential oil to give the solution some extra flair. You might be surprised by the results!
Getting your carpet cleaned is an excellent way to boost your health. It will improve the air quality in your home, protect you from mold growth, and improve your mood.
Keeping your carpet clean can help you avoid common respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma. These ailments are made worse by a buildup of pollutants, like dust mites and pet dander, which get trapped in your carpet and cause irritation in the eyes, nose and throat.
You should also consider the possibility that these contaminants can make you sick if they are left on your carpet long enough. They can cause a variety of infections, such as colds and flu.
Children are especially vulnerable to this problem because their immune systems are still forming, which means they’re more susceptible to germs. Regular vacuuming and professional carpet cleaning can keep your kids healthy while minimizing their exposure to these toxins.

If someone were to ask me how I would describe Germany by color, I would say it’s brown. On board the train from Paris to Munich, you’d notice a change in the scenery from the window. German villages are just as you’d expect them to be- white buildings with tall roofs that can be seen from kilometers away, all looking exactly the same.
We took the TGV Duplex, a French high-speed train that features bi-level carriages. There are no overhead luggage racks for obvious reasons. There are luggage racks on both lower and upper level, in the middle of the car and at the end of each car. Our seats were located on the upper level and while boarding early is always a good idea, however, in my experience as soon as the platform is announced, it’s a sprint down the train. Everyone rushes to the designated platform and even if you’re fleet on foot, it can still be a bit of a hassle getting your luggage stored both when boarding. I had to take our four piece luggage to the upper level without anyone helping me. Chivalry is dead in France. Just kidding, sort of. All in all, I found boarding and disembarking the train a little traumatic which I think is all my fault for taking way too much luggage. It is not for the slow or the faint of heart.
Munich was the place I explored the least. Not because I was not interested, but I wasn’t really feeling well. It was quite late when we arrived in Munich which is the capital of Bavaria, a state in Germany. München Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station in the city of Munich. It is one of the largest in Germany and provides both the regional and international service. Armed with a map, my mother and I still got lost finding our hotel which was a good 5 minute walk. I was surprised to see snow on the tables, on plant boxes, on top of cars and on some parts of the pavement. I thought it was put there for the beer bottles since the rest of the city did not have snow. Pardon my ignorance as that was the third time I’ve ever seen snow. My first experience was maybe around the age of 7 when my parents took me to a small amusement park in Manila where the ice was as hard as rock and some crushed iced was being hosed down. My second experience was in South Korea where we had to travel three hours just to see snow at a ski resort. So you see, I have never really seen snow in a normal setting. My mom has travelled quite extensively and was amused that I was in a good mood even if I was already coming down with the flu. We encountered a few drunks along the way but I thought it was normal since we were in Germany where beer is a major part of the culture.
We stayed at the Relexa Hotel. The hotel is modern, spacious, comfortable, warm and clean. It was just two blocks from the main station.
Munich is home to BMW and various other suppliers. Audi is based 50 minutes away in nearby Ingolstadt. Most people in Munich are employed in the automotive industry. You’ll find Mercedes, BMWs, Audis and other luxury cars at your disposal for airport transfers or sightseeing. Actually, it is normal there to see these types of cars just about everywhere. Roads in Munich are some of the best in Germany and filled with wealthy Bavarians driving the latest models of German cars. There’s no speed limit on the autobahn. The Autobahn is the federal controlled-access highway system in Germany.
Munich is also home to Oktoberfest, the largest keg party or beer festival in the world. It is a 16 to 18 day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October. It is held at Theresienwiese. It serves as the official ground of the Munich Oktoberfest. The name is derived from the name of Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, the wife of Crown Prince Ludwig I. What I would really wish to witness though is the Munich Christmas Market on Marienplatz held every November-December.
I am a big fan of sausage- all kinds of sausage. Germany produces more than 1,200 types of sausages, many of them famous around the world. A Weisswurst (pronounced vicevoorsht) is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from minced veal and pork back bacon. Bratwurst is a type of German sausage made from veal, beef or most commonly pork.
Depending on how they are made, sausages in Germany are called Brühwurst (scalded sausage), Kochwurst (cooked sausage) and Rohwurst (fresh/raw sausage). I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look of shock from a sausage vendor’s face when I asked for mayonnaise. In Germany, they take pride in their sausages and you’re not supposed to drown it or even garnish with mayonnaise and especially not ketchup. Although they do have sides of sauerkraut and the like.
The other things they have around the train station were the dress shops with their National costumes and trinkets. | <urn:uuid:e825f360-d3d0-49c5-8e15-23e0fcd65571> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://birdsnchandeliers.com/2017/03/18/munich-germany/ | 2021-06-12T10:47:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487582767.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20210612103920-20210612133920-00324.warc.gz | en | 0.981562 | 1,112 |

NEWS AND NOTES FROM CBS SPORTS NETWORK’S
INSIDE COLLEGE FOOTBALL
(BRIAN JONES ON PENN STATE’S DEFENSE):
Penn State has got to shore up that defense. We thought that would be the strong suit. It wasn’t a week ago. In the second half, Ohio had over 300 yards total offense. That was just ridiculous. They converted 11-of-12 on third down. I think the defense is going to be piping mad and will getdone down in Charlottesville.
To watch the entire clip, click here: http://cbsprt.co/OSY5XR.
(AARON TAYLOR ON FLORIDA VS. TEXAS A&M):
To me the concern for Florida is offensively. First of all, the advantage that they have in playing a game last week is nullified by the fact that they don’t know what they’re going to see in the Aggies. I don’t think you can underplay the significance of that. They went from a 3-4 to a 4-3, so you’ve got a new system both offensively and defensively. You’ve got a new quarterback back there. Basically, the Gators are going to be flying blind.
(RON ZOOK ON LSU QUARTERBACK ZACH METTERNBERGER):
It’s hard to give a quarterback a grade, particularly in the first game. I think this was the question mark that LSU had: Are they going to have a quarterback that can get them to where they want to go? He was 19-26 for 192 yards with one touchdown. And he took a shot and showed his toughness. I think the LSU football team knows now that they have a guy now who can get him where they want to get to. | <urn:uuid:8afcb2bb-39f6-4848-93e2-f237fc96de6a> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/09/06/usf-at-nevada-highlights-cbs-sports-nets-college-football-action-on-saturday-september-8/147680/ | 2014-07-31T06:13:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510272584.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011752-00490-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926503 | 791 |

Not sure how many people here follow track and field at all, or if this story has worked its way outside track and field media to the mainstream. It seems I remember the "controversy" resulting in a story on yahoo news a couple weeks ago.
The World Championships of track and field were last month, and one of the most surprising results was that an entrant in the women's 800 meters, an 18 year old virtual unknown who has only been running for about a year and suddenly sprang upon the scene with world class times only this summer, upset the best women's half-milers in the world to easily win the World Championship gold medal going away, and coming close to a decades-old world record set by a Czech woman runner who herself was pumped up on steroids.
The accusation in this case is not performance enhancing drugs, but that this runner, Caster Semenya, may actually be a man. The unbelievably quick improvement from beginning runner to World Champion, as well as the individual's masculine appearance and mannerisms (chest-thumping, bicep-flexing, and so on) lead some to assert this runner may either be a man, or at least some sort of hermaphrodite or "intersex" individual with such strong male characteristics as to constitute an unfair advantage against women.
As an individual track and field fan, I'd say the way Semenya totally demolished the best female 800 runners in the world, running away from them with apparent ease and winning by a huge margin, bore no resemblance to fair competition among equals. It made Usain Bolt's victories in both last year's Olympics and these same World Championships seem hard-fought.
Counterbalancing the outcry of unfairness, there's been a near-equal riot of people asserting that the accusations are unfair. Some say gender is not an "either/or" thing but a sort of continuum, and if so, who is to determine at which point on the scale a person is "woman enough" to compete as a woman?
Most recently, this story says the runner has no ovaries or uterus, but does have testicles. This is in addition to the already-released information that Semenya has three times the level of testosterone level of average women.Tests show world champion runner Caster Semenya is a hermaphroditehttp://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/world/tests-show-world-champion-runner-caster-semenya-is-a-hermaphrodite/story-e6frev00-1225771726260
There have been numerous other stories in athletics of female competitors being revealed or "outed" as either actually male, or in some way "intersex." I think, despite the tendency toward political correctness in all areas, the reason we separate sports into men's and women's divisions is to give women a fair chance to compete among equals. If a person is born with male and female sex characteristics constituting something like "mostly male-ness" and yet chooses to live and compete as a woman, it is unfair. That individual has a choice whether to not compete at all, or compete at a slight disadvantage among men.
Any thoughts about this, aside from the inevitable snickers and wisecracks? Every time I feel this is just sort of an odd joke, I think about the women who train their hearts out, only to end up beaten by 30 meters by a teen-age beginner at their event, and to finish in second place when in fact they are the fastest woman in the race. | <urn:uuid:d7362ed8-6852-429d-b02a-b52d16f68a5d> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.hypnos.com/smf/index.php?topic=2211.msg17338 | 2016-10-25T20:57:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720380.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00385-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962103 | 744 |
While visiting dear friends in historic Saratoga Springs recently we toured The Gideon Putnam Hotel nestled in Saratoga Spa State Park. The State Park offers a host of family activities surrounding the hotel including the famous Roosevelt Baths & Spa, Victoria Pool, and Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The Greenbrier of West Virginia kept coming to mind as I toured the grand Georgian halls of the Gideon Putnam Hotel with its reading rooms and meeting rooms defined by bright bold colors. Yes, Dorothy Draper was the interior designer of the Putnam as well as the Greenbrier! According to Historic Hotels of America, “A multiyear, multimillion dollar renovation effort is returning the Gideon Putnam Resort and Spa to the grandness and style it was famous for during Saratoga Springs’ heyday as the country’s premier spa town.” Next visit I’m going to hit the Spa!

Jumping on bikes, gliding down streets, lobbying for more paths -- more Americans are cruising bike paths, streets, and roads on two wheels. Between 1977 and 2009, the total number of annual bike trips more than tripled in the US. Meanwhile, bike sharing's percentage of all bicycle trips rose from 0.6% to 1%. Twice as many people are biking to work in 2009 as in 2000. What of 2012? Where are we now? | <urn:uuid:976b684e-5143-4c39-907a-96cd01322f70> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://cleantechnica.com/tag/us-bike-growth/ | 2020-10-22T23:40:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880401.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20201022225046-20201023015046-00130.warc.gz | en | 0.970419 | 102 |
Best Buy starts taking orders for AT&T's HTC One X
Word on the street is that one can go into a local Best Buy and reserve themselves an HTC One X for AT&T’s network. According to Droid Life, all you need is $50 down to secure the hot new Android 4.0 smartphone announced at Mobile World Congress this week. There’s no indication yet as to what the final price point will be nor when you’ll actually be able to take ownership of the handset.
If you decide to head to your local Bet Buy or Best Buy Mobile store to pre-order your HTC One X, let us know what kind of situation you run into. What’s the vibe at your store and do your sales reps have anything else to add? | <urn:uuid:62b52222-d73a-4f44-84b1-761c9703906f> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.androidguys.com/2012/02/28/best-buy-starts-taking-orders-for-atts-htc-one-x/ | 2014-12-18T17:40:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802767301.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075247-00065-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926914 | 162 |
Taking the Next Step: Helping Students With Disabilities Transition from High School to College
Narrator: Welcome to “Taking the Next Step: Helping Students with Disabilities Transition from High School to College."
The passage from high school to college, from adolescence to adulthood, is difficult for most students—it’s an anxiety-producing time. And it can be a lot harder for students with disabilities. The fact is more and more students with disabilities are attending college and some are decidedly better prepared than others.
There are vast differences between what high school did and colleges will do to work with students with disabilities. The extent to which students have been prepared for these differences largely predicts their early success or failure once they arrive on a college campus.
Most of the differences can be found in the law. The legislation governing Kindergarten through high school is Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. IDEA requires schools identify students with disabilities and provide a free appropriate public education, often involving program modifications, assure the student equal opportunity for success. It is not uncommon for students, parents and high school personnel to assume that these same type services will automatically be available in college. This is NOT the case.
Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act are “civil rights” legislation, which protects qualified persons with disabilities from discrimination based upon disability. As a result of these two laws, all public and private colleges are only obligated to provide equal access along with reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students who self disclose their disability. Colleges ensure access; not necessarily success.
From kindergarten through high school, students with disabilities have relied on their parents and schools to identify the disability and provide the necessary assistance. At the college level, only one person is ultimately responsible for these issues—the student.
Transition is the formal process, beginning at age 14, of helping the student with disabilities move successfully into the adult world. It is a process that, ideally, guides a student along a continuum from self-doubt to self-advocacy and from dependency to self. A successful high school to college transition, the topic of this CD/ROM, must actively involve the student, parents, educators, adult service providers and the community!
As a student with a disability, your school has provided you with unique services during your education. These services may have included specialized learning strategies, classroom or testing accommodations, or training you on assistive technology. Students who receive special education services follow a carefully designed plan called an Individualized Education Program, or IEP. Among other things, an IEP lists your strengths, special needs and services, and the providers of these services.
A team of people working together on your behalf develops your IEP This team must include your parents, teachers and a school administrator. Often other people attend, such as staff from Vocational Rehabilitation especially if they provide or will provide needed services to help you complete your education. Your IEP team meets at least once a year or more often if necessary. Your “custom-made” education plan follows you as you move from grade to grade.
During the year you turn 14, you are invited and encouraged to attend your IEP meetings. This is when transition planning begins. From that point on, your IEP must include a transition plan on how you will reach your post-high school goals and dreams as you envision them. From that point on, your IEP becomes less of an annual plan and more of a roadmap for your life over the next several years—into young adulthood.
This is why it is vitally important for you to attend your IEP meetings and play an active role. You need to be present in order to represent your preferences and needs. After all, do you want to plan your future or do you want someone else to?
If you haven’t already, there are several things you can do right now to get involved with your IEP:
Remember colleges are not under the same obligations as high schools to provide you with services based on your disability. Your college education won’t be handed to you.
If you want accommodations in college, you will have to ask for them yourself! That’s why as you prepare for college, it’s important for you to become a self-advocate. Self-advocacy is the art of speaking up for yourself and your needs. It requires self-confidence, self-knowledge and assertiveness.
Learn about your civil rights and responsibilities under Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act…know your disability and be able to describe exactly how it affects your ability to learn.
Develop independent living skills and take responsibility for your actions.
Most of all don’t be just a bystander when it comes to developing the transitional component of your IEP. Be a player!
As the parent of a student with a disability wishing to pursue college, you want to do all you can to help your son or daughter make the transition from the structured environment of high school to the more demanding world of higher education.
From the time your child began receiving special education services, an Individualized Education Program, or IEP has guided their education. You have probably been an active participant on the IEP team. Once a child turns 14, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, requires the IEP team begin transition planning. From that point on, the IEP should begin to resemble a roadmap guiding your child’s entry into the adult world.
Once transition begins, the student is invited to IEP meetings so they may practice self-advocacy skills as they represent their own preferences, interests, needs and dreams. Since your child has chosen college as their post-high school goal, nearly every element of the transition plan should further that goal. For example, the high school course of study should ensure timely high school graduation and entry into college.
Besides the student and their parents, the IEP transition team involves the participation of teachers, counselors, administrators, adult service providers, employers, higher education personnel and others. Representatives of adult agencies, which may provide the student services while in college, can and should be invited to IEP meetings in the Junior Year.
You have a right to invite them. A smoother transition to these services will result if these providers are included in transition as early as possible.
If your son or daughter is unable to attend an IEP meeting, you can make sure their desires, goals and interests are well represented.
After all, you bring to the table a wealth of information about your child, including their medical history, insights into their behavior at home and in the community and knowledge of how their disability affects their everyday life.
Try to do everything in your power to encourage your child’s participation in IEP meetings. Preparing for meetings together offers you and your child quality time during which you can help them solidify their goals and aspirations.
Your child’s involvement in the transition process gives them practice in speaking up for themselves—a skill they will need and value as a young adult. Remember that neither their 504 plan nor IEP follow them to college.
In order to receive services and accommodations at the college level, your child must ASK for them. That’s why it is essential for your child to be able to describe their disability along with the types of accommodations and supports they need to be successful in an academic environment--information they would likely know well if they were involved in the IEP process!
In the college setting, under federal law, parents are no longer allowed automatic access to student information concerning their disabilities, accommodations or academic progress. This may be unsettling for students who are accustomed to strong parental support and intervention on their behalf. College students are treated as legal adults in charge of their own affairs.
While parents of college-age students may no longer have the same authority they once had in their children’s lives, they can still offer much-needed guidance, support and wisdom. Parents are used to being advocates for their high school children; with young adults in college the parental role changes to advisor-mentor.
Ultimately, the young adult must learn to solve his or her own problems. Parents can teach and exemplify problem-solving skills, which include information gathering and weighing options. Throughout their high school career, you should make every effort to involve your son or daughter in activities that promote independence and help them self-advocate.
The key to effective high school to college transition planning is to begin early. Here is a helpful timetable:
Statistics show that more and more young adults with disabilities are attending college after high school. Hopefully this is an indication that we have found more effective ways to help students realize their true potential.
However, just because young people are getting to college doesn’t mean they are adequately equipped to succeed. Consider, for example, the following statistics:
Obviously, our high school graduates are experiencing difficulty adapting to college. And, students with disabilities face far greater challenges! In order to help students with disabilities successfully transition to college, educators need to strongly convey two key concepts:
These are but a couple of the issues surrounding the federal laws ensuring equal access to college by students with disabilities.
The best advice educators can give students and their families is to know their legal rights and responsibilities, as well as the college’s. This includes familiarizing themselves with the provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act.
Additionally, families should be encouraged to begin dialoguing with the college’s disabilities support services office well before high school graduation.
From kindergarten through high school, students with disabilities are used to relying on their parents and school to do things for them.
Once in college, they’re very much on their own! Consequently, the skills most needed by the college freshman are those leading toward self-advocacy. Educators involved in transition can do much to nurture self-advocacy and self-determination in the high school student:
Vocational Rehabilitation may be able to contribute to these goals as well—students receiving special ed services should be referred to “voc rehab” by the spring semester of their junior year.
Most importantly, educators should remember to build on a student’s strengths.
Typically, the focus at IEP meetings has been on a student’s deficits. At team meetings, we should highlight the things they can do with or without accommodations. We can praise their accomplishments and then discuss their needs and most importantly how to work with the adverse effects of their disability.
If we truly want to help students with disabilities successfully transition to college, we have to allow them to do things for themselves, and even make mistakes when appropriate. To paraphrase a familiar quote: the most important thing parents and educators can teach young adults is how to get along without them!
Now That Your Ready For College Section
Now that you’re ready for college, here are the Top Ten questions you should be asking, along with their answers:
- How do you receive disability services in college? You need to contact the Disability Services office on campus to begin the application process.
- When do I need to apply for disability services? You should apply as soon as you’ve been admitted to the college so that any accommodations you may need can be arranged.
- Do I have to inform a college that I have a disability? No. However, if you want the school to provide any academic accommodation, you must identify yourself as having a disability. You should also let them know you have a disability if you want to ensure you’ll be assigned to accessible facilities.
- Do colleges provide IEPs? No. In college, the student is responsible for identifying themselves as individuals with disabilities, providing disability documentation and requesting accommodations.
- Can I use my IEP or 504 plan for documentation of my disability? Although an IEP or 504 plan may help identify services that have been effective for you, it is generally NOT sufficient documentation of your disability. This is because college places different demands on you than high school. Find out from the college what documentation they require.
- Will I receive the same services I received in high school? Maybe. High schools are required to provide whatever service, help or accommodation you need to be successful. Colleges are required to provide “equal access to education”. They provide this access by using accommodations, not necessarily services or extra help. For example, services such as word banks or reduced assignments probably wouldn’t be offered in college because they don’t provide modifications that would change educational standards.
- Who decides what accommodations I can use in college? The Disability Services office at the college in which you are enrolled makes the final decision on accommodations. This is done after reviewing your disability documentation and visiting with you. Accommodations are based on how the disability interferes with access to the educational environment and course curriculum.
- Do I have to pay for my accommodations? No. It’s the college’s responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations to eligible students.
- Can I receive a failing grade for a college class in which I am receiving accommodations? Yes. Accommodations ensure “access”, not necessarily success.
- Will the Disabilities Service Office provide services like helping me get ready for the school day? No. Services or equipment needed to assist a person with daily living activities are the responsibility of the individual.
When it comes to receiving disability services at college, know your rights! Students who know their rights and responsibilities are much better equipped to succeed. | <urn:uuid:c783fd35-b367-46b6-9993-333dae5c7a75> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.nd.gov/humanservices/business/rehabconsult/transcript-rehab-001.html | 2015-07-07T13:35:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375099361.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031819-00277-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967269 | 2,812 |

Trade Secretary Liam Fox attempted to reassure an AHDB export conference that the UK had no intention to allow lower standard imports into the country after we leave the EU.
But he fell short of delivering the firm assurances many people in the room were hoping for.
Delivering an eagerly-awaited speech at the event in London on Wednesday, Dr Fox spelled out his desire to see a prosperous UK food and farming sector after we leave the EU. “The DTI regards agriculture as an industry. I want to see a vibrant industry. I want to see an agriculture sector that breeds things, grows things and sells things. That should be our primary concern,” he said
He highlighted the recent impressive growth in overall UK exports, and in food and farming in particular and explained why he was ‘optimistic’ that this trade would continue to grow after we leave the EU. He cited recent developments, including the lifting of the UK BSE ban by China and the deal to export pork products to Taiwan, alongside the longer-term backdrop of a growing world population and rising demand for meat.
Dr Fox set out the steps the Government was taking to help the sector boost exports, including representation at trade events and supporting the Agritech strategy.
He also addressed the issue of post-Brexit food standards, which he described as ‘one of the most dishonest debates I have seen for a very long time’.
On Tuesday, the US trade representative formally notified Congress that they have ‘completed the preliminary work and are now ready to begin work on a free trade agreement with the UK, the first real step towards an independent trade policy’, he said. The letter states that any UK-EU trade deal must respect the US’ Trade Priorities and Accountability Act, which requires the ‘reducing or eliminating [of]unjustified sanitary or phytosanitary restrictions’ and ‘other unjustified technical barriers to trade’.
But Dr Fox insisted the UK would not lower its standards. “One of the key unique selling points for the UK is the high standards we have,” he said, citing a Barclays survey showing 57% of Chinese consumers would pay more for British products because of their reputation for high quality.
“We are never going to be able to compete at the low cost, low quality end of the market. Where we need to be is that high quality end,” he said.
But when it to questions, AHDB chairman Sir Peter Kendall challenged Dr Fox on whether his comments about standards applied to imported products as well.
The Trade Secretary said the SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) element of the Chequers agreement would ‘maintain regulatory alignment on that’. He added: “There are some who say that will limit your freedom to do a trade agreement and, to some extent, that is right.
“But I think you are limited by UK consumer pressure in any case because I think there is a strong move from consumers not to compromise standards. Inside, the EU market ,we have our food policy legislation which we have no plans to alter.”
“I can say this until I am blue in the face. Whenever I say it, there is the same anti-trade lobby who are, in fact an anti-capitalist lobby, who will still say this isn’t true.”
He urged the audience, somewhat cryptically, not to ‘judge the Government by what it says, but by what it does’.
He insisted it was an ‘utterly bogus question’ and that the answers lay in recently-published Government documents.
Sir Peter was not entirely convinced by Dr Fox’s comments. “It was great to hear Liam Fox say ‘grow more, breed more, sell more product,” he said.
“I did ask the question about standards, but you do listen so many carefully crafted phrases. I was looking for the Secretary of State to say we will not import products in to different standards. I think he nearly got there, but it wasn’t as nailed down as I would like to see.” | <urn:uuid:c4de8422-d172-4af6-bbe7-77a1a7f69c75> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.pig-world.co.uk/news/fox-tries-to-reassure-industry-over-post-brexit-import-standards.html | 2018-11-15T03:48:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742483.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115033911-20181115055911-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.969625 | 871 |
The AE86 was available with a fuel-injected 4-cylinder twin-cam 1587cc 4A-GE engine in Japan and Europe which was also used in the first-generation Toyota MR2 (AW11). This engine had a maximum power output of 130 PS (97kW) and 103ft·lbf (140nm) of torque in standard form. The AE86 came with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and later came with the option of an automatic. The 4A-GE engines used in the AE86 and AW11 were equipped with T-VIS (Toyota Variable Intake System). The AE86 had an optional Limited Slip Differential (LSD).
In North America, a modified 4A-GEC engine was used to comply with California emissions regulations. Power was rated at 112bhp (84kW), and 100ft·lbf (136nm) of torque. It should be noted however that the cost of these emission regulations in a tendency to burn oil, especially when dealing with a older vehicle that has had 2 or more owners.
The AE86 used ventilated disc brakes. The car was equipped with a MacPherson strut style independent suspension at the front and a four-link live axle with coil springs for the rear. Stabilizer bars were present at both ends.
Lower-spec American AE86 SR5 models used the 1587cc 4A-C SOHC unit, did not have an optional LSD, and had rear drum brakes. Also, the SR5 model had a softer suspension, and small styling and interior changes.
Models equipped with the 4A-GE engine received a 6.7" rear differential, while 3A-U, 4A-U, and 4A-C models received a smaller, weaker, 6.38" rear differential.
The AE86 SR5 (4A-C equipped) had an optional automatic transmission, though the GT-S model (with the 4A-GE DOHC engine) only came with a standard 5-speed manual gearbox.
One of the staff who was behind the car's engineering work was Nobuaki Katayama, who would later head the company's motorsport department and who would become chief engineer of the Altezza project a decade later. An article in Car Magazine in April 1999, stated he has a photo of an AE86 hung in his office.
Both the Levin and Trueno variants were offered with either a 2-door coupe or 3-door liftback (sometimes called hatchback) body style. Both the Levin and Trueno were generally identical, apart from fixed, rectangular headlights on the Levin and pop-up headlights on the Trueno. Minor bodywork changes were made in 1986 which resulted in different tail lights for both Levin and Trueno models, along with the coupe and hatchback styles. The models sold between 1983–1985 are commonly referred to as "Zenki" in Japan, and the models sold from 1986–1987 are referred to as "Kouki". The coupe version is considered to be more rigid and lighter version of the two. | <urn:uuid:9ceac0ab-5230-4fd2-9f7d-aa4adf5c6152> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.cars-directory.net/gallery/toyota/corolla_levin/ | 2015-07-01T16:57:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095183.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00201-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976729 | 643 |
A Laois Lotto jackpot winner was celebrating in Lotto HQ this week after collecting their life-changing cheque worth over €2.2 million.
The lucky Lotto player bagged the Lotto Jackpot of €2,294,855 in the Wednesday 11 October draw.
The Laois player became the 12th Lotto jackpot winner of the year after purchasing their ticket through the National Lottery app or online at www.lottery.ie.
The winner admitted that it was a few days before they realised their win: “To think I was walking around for a few days without any idea that I was a Lotto jackpot winner!
"I have played online for a few years now so I am used to seeing messages and notifications about smaller prizes. When I saw the message for this one, I didn’t think anything of it at first, so I logged in as usual and immediately got a huge shock seeing the amount looking back at me.
"It certainly feels surreal to even be sitting here in the Winners’ Room but the next plan is to take a holiday to celebrate and let the news sink in.”
Saturday’s Lotto draw has guaranteed €1 million to be shared amongst all Raffle winners
Meanwhile, Saturday night’s Lotto draw is set to see players win even bigger prizes than usual with the National Lottery adding €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund.
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees around 60-120 winners of €500 in every draw but on Saturday night, players are set for a boost in their winnings. By topping up the raffle prize fund by €1 million, all winners of the Lotto Plus Raffle will take home the usual €500 prize PLUS share an extra €1 million between them.
The National Lottery are reminding players hoping to win big in the weekend draw that tickets care be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for ticket sales on Saturday evening.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “For Lotto players dreaming of becoming big winners this weekend, the Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €5 million. This Saturday’s draw will also mark the fourth Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of 2023 and promises to see players will even bigger prizes than usual. With an additional €1 million in the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund, all winners of the Lotto Plus Raffle will scoop the usual €500 prize plus share €1 million between them.

Data from: Fine-scale genetic structure in a wild bird population: the role of limited dispersal and environmentally-based selection as causal factors
Garroway, Colin et al. (2013), Data from: Fine-scale genetic structure in a wild bird population: the role of limited dispersal and environmentally-based selection as causal factors, Dryad, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4f46b
Individuals are typically not randomly distributed in space; consequently ecological and evolutionary theory depends heavily on understanding the spatial structure of populations. The central challenge of landscape genetics is therefore to link spatial heterogeneity of environments to population genetic structure. Here, we employ multivariate spatial analyses to identify environmentally induced genetic structures in a single breeding population of 1174 great tits Parus major genotyped at 4701 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. Despite the small spatial scale of the study relative to natal dispersal we found multiple axes of genetic structure. We built distance-based Moran's eigenvector maps to identify axes of pure spatial variation, which we used for spatial correction of regressions between SNPs and various external traits known to be related to fitness components (avian malaria infection risk, local density of conspecifics, oak tree density and altitude). We found clear evidence of fine-scale genetic structure, with 21, 7 and 9 significant SNPs respectively associated with infection risk by two species of avian malaria (Plasmodium circumflexum and P. relictum) and local conspecific density. Such fine-scale genetic structure relative to dispersal capabilities suggests ecological and evolutionary mechanisms maintain within-population genetic diversity in this population with the potential to drive micro-evolutionary change. | <urn:uuid:37a7618e-6431-44e4-bbb6-2bf5986552d2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061%2Fdryad.4f46b | 2021-12-01T06:13:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359093.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201052655-20211201082655-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.850494 | 383 |

In a mere four years Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has engaged in 34 pro fights faster than you can say lickety-split.
The 21-year-old son of Mexico’s purported greatest boxer has also amassed a following throughout the Southwest from Mexican immigrants who blindly follow him in his adventure toward a world championship.
But can he possibly fill his father’s gargantuan footsteps?
Chavez Jr. meets Ray Sanchez (20-1, 15 KOs) in that fighter’s home state New Mexico in a junior middleweight bout that could be the biggest leap to stardom for the son of an icon. The 10-round fight takes place at Tingley Coliseum in Alburquerque. It will be televised on pay-per-view television and is promoted by Top Rank.
Father and son don’t look alike or fight alike, in fact it’s easier to say that it’s the younger brother Omar who more resembles the father. But Junior has slowly shown that he’s picking up facets of the sport here and there like a marching army crossing numerous battlefields and collecting discarded weapons.
“Over his last few fights he has looked very good and is much more settled as a fighter,” stated big Julio during a press conference this week. “I really like what I see in him.”
As a teen Junior and Omar Chavez lived in Riverside, California with their mother who was estranged from their father. Often the two could be seen boxing in numerous gyms in the area. Junior always had the dedication.
“The expectations of greatness will always be there because of my name,” said Junior Chavez (33-0-1, 26 KOs) who began fighting as a lightweight and now is a junior middleweight. “But I knew that from the start and continue to live with it.”
Despite a spindly appearance that included the face of a choir boy when he first stepped into a prizefight ring in 2003, Chavez has slowly rumbled through a list of Midwestern opponents with an occasional Mexican fighter thrown in as he marched to this moment.
But Sanchez, 24, poses many problems for Chavez starting with his left-handed stance, impressive record and hometown support.
Chavez can feel the pressure.
“My biggest concern is that he is left-handed,” Chavez said at the El Paseo Inn in Los Angeles earlier this week. “I have never fought a lefty before.”
Even papa Chavez hesitates a bit with his son facing a southpaw.
“He’s (Sanchez) a very tough fighter and left-handers are always difficult to fight,” said Chavez Sr. who fought a total of 115 pro bouts and a few lefties in his career like Hector Camacho.
Soaking in the entire press junket like an amused bystander, Sanchez knows that a win would propel him into the forefront. He doesn’t think a win is farfetched.
“We are both hungry and both want to prove we belong at the highest level,” said Sanchez. “This is the first step for both of us.”
The New Mexico boxer has a lot to prove though he’s only suffered one loss and that came five years ago. But Sanchez’s resume doesn’t impress. He’s never beaten a veteran fighter with a winning record. Sanchez has never been truly tested.
“I couldn’t be more ready for this fight,” said Sanchez who is also a Junior.
Chavez already knows if he can beat Sanchez that he will be fighting Alfonso Gomez of the Contender reality television series. The fight will take place in March, but first things first. Sanchez stands in front of him.
And one more thing: his father’s shadow stands before him larger than the city of Culiacan, Mexico.
“My father’s shadow will never go away completely,” said Chavez Jr. “But I believe I have shown some people that I am a capable fighter and I know I have some fans of my own because of the way I fight.”
Well said. Almost as precise as a left hook to the liver that his father perfected.
“I think my son has more skills and is the stronger puncher of the two,” said Papa Chavez.
Other pay-per-view fights
Jorge Arce, like Chavez Jr., know if he beats his opponent Medgoen Singsurat (53-4, 39 KOs) in a battle for the vacant WBC Latino bantamweight title. It’s a dangerous fight because Arce is a flyweight moving up two divisions and the Thai fighter can really bang.
But Arce (47-4-1, 36 KOs) knows a victory leads him immediately to a match against former junior bantamweight titleholder Martin Castillo.
“I not only need to win but I need to look tremendous doing it,” said Arce. “If I win I get to fight Martin Castillo and that fight will be like Morales-Barrera and Vazquez-Marquez.”
Also on the fight card is the talented but seldom recognized WBO strawweight titleholder Ivan Calderon of Puerto Rico. He could possibly be the best boxer in the world but his diminutive size keeps the boxing world from noticing.
Calderon (29-0, 6 KOs) moves faster than a bullet train and is harder for opponents to hit than a fly in the dark. He defends his title against Mexico’s Juan Esquer (22-2-1, 17 KOs) who probably hopes Calderon slips and falls. | <urn:uuid:e6ece4f2-ef52-472b-a9b4-5eb2f49ae728> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.thesweetscience.com/articles-of-2007/5529-can-junior-match-jc-chavez-sr | 2017-08-17T15:40:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886103579.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817151157-20170817171157-00263.warc.gz | en | 0.967058 | 1,214 |
WASHINGTON (April 15, 2014) ― The National Guard Association of the United States today released the following statement by retired Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett, the NGAUS president:
“Nothing seems more distasteful to Army leaders these days than the notion of Congress creating a commission to take an outside look at how best to structure the force for 2020 and beyond.
“At recent congressional hearings and to reporters, the Army chief of staff and vice chief of staff quickly dismissed ― often angrily ― any merit to the idea. This begs an obvious question: Why are Army leaders so afraid of a commission?
“The answer is equally obvious.
“An independent look at the Army’s five-year budget plan, a scheme that briefed well inside the Pentagon, completely falls apart at contact with reality. It will become quickly apparent that it is a scheme built on a foundation of inflated active-component Army training and readiness in order to devalue the future capabilities of the Army National Guard.
“An unbiased review also would show that shifting all of the Army National Guard’s Apache attack helicopters to the active component saves no money while squandering the Total Army’s most experienced Apache pilots and maintainers. And contrary to what Army leaders told Congress last week, it would reveal that not one governor or adjutant general favors the Army Aviation Restructuring Initiative.
“And that’s just the beginning of what Army leaders have to fear from an independent commission. Such a look would show that the Army five-year budget plan clearly sacrifices the Total Force and the Army’s strategic depth in order to maintain the size and relevancy of the active component.
“Even General Frank J. Grass, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, was able to get around what appeared to be a Pentagon gag order at that Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week to say that ‘it never hurts to have another look.’ He deflected most other questions.
“At the same hearing, the Army chief staff of staff said taking a year for an independent review could cost up to $1 billion. But rushing forward could cost the nation more. A lot more.
“His real concern, however, would appear not to be a delay or even $1 billion. It’s the possibility that a commission could recommend what many of our NATO allies are already doing: Rely more on reserve forces, like the Guard, to save money while maintaining defense capability.
“We need to do what’s best for America, not just what is best for one military institution.”
Reporters, Editors & Producers: Retired Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett is available for interviews or to appear as a subject matter expert on defense issues related to the National Guard. Contact John Goheen at 202-789-0031 or firstname.lastname@example.org to schedule an interview or appearance.
About NGAUS: The association includes nearly 45,000 current or former Guard officers. It was created in 1878 to provide unified National Guard representation in Washington. In their first productive meeting after Reconstruction, militia officers from the North and South formed the association with the goal of obtaining better equipment and training by petitioning Congress for more resources. Today, 136 years later, NGAUS has the same mission. | <urn:uuid:51b24898-837a-4470-8b80-43dfe5e1a3af> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.ngaus.org/newsroom/news/ngaus-why-are-army-leaders-so-afraid-commission | 2015-11-25T10:11:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398445080.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205405-00093-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948409 | 697 |
Ottawa eases travel restrictions, but won’t give firm date for full reopening
Goldy Hyder welcomes the lifting of some travel restrictions for fully-vaccinated Canadians as a long-overdue step, but he notes it falls far short of the comprehensive plan that is needed. His statement was featured in the National Post‘s coverage of the federal government’s announcement of phase one of easing border measures.

I wrote several programs to check my portfolio—to load the latest data, to see how my asset allocation is holding up, to look at the funds over time, and so on.
When I went to improve the programs, I discovered chaos. I used different names for the same thing in different programs. Sometimes I summarized the data immediately from the database, sometimes I did it later in another program. Same with filtering data. If I had to fix it in a program, a different program would break. I decided to make the effort to convert my standalone programs into a three-tier architecture (Figure 1).
- Presentation Tier.
- 1st action. Presents the initial screen to the user (me) from which I choose the action to do.
- 4th action. After the other tiers do their work, this tier will display the result.
- Database Tier.
- 2nd action. The presentation tier sends my chosen action to the database which gathers the raw data required.
- Application Tier.
- 3rd action. Using the data sent from the Database tier, the application tier selects, summarizes, and formats the data. It then sends it to the presentation tier for display to the user.
Gain for the Effort
It does take work to smooth out the differences and to segment the existing programs, but there are benefits.
There’s a single place where database code is. The same field names are used in all program tiers. If I fix an error in or improve the database code, all presentation and application tier programs will get the same data.
My current bag of tricks for data manipulation has oddball cases that work in the database only with others only after the database data has been gathered. Now I can focus on developing a set of manipulation techniques which cover all cases in a single tool.
My tool kit didn’t change, but the tool kit programs were mostly restricted to individual tiers. In debugging, there now are less moving parts to confuse any issue. Program restriction is most noticeable in the database and application tiers (Figure 2).
Python is the language that controls the flow. In the presentation tier tkinter is imported to build the menus and detect the actions selected. The database tier accesses a postgreSQL database and is primarily restricted to loading data and retrieving data. Then in the application tier, pandas is imported and performs the data manipulation.

Living with a new puppy is wonderful, challenging, terrific, frustrating, and requires a lot of time.
Puppies need very frequent potty breaks. You should plan on taking your new puppy to potty:
- 15-30 minutes after he eats
- When they first wake up
- Right before bedtime
- Every 3-4 hours, even during the night
Besides potty outings, your puppy will take time to get used to his new home. Usually it takes around three weeks for the puppy to be fully acclimated. During this time your dog may be skittish, fearful, and seem as if they don’t fully trust you.
Puppies are ready to begin training outside of the home as soon as your vet gives you the OK. This will usually happen after they have completed their full set of puppy vaccinations. Most training schools allow dogs around 4-5 months to take part in dog training classes, however you can begin training your puppy as soon as you want. I strongly recommend teaching your puppy the look command as soon as they have calmed down from being in their new home.
Call the school you want to take your puppy to and talk with the trainer. I always recommend puppies go to an obedience class that has socialization included in the class. This will help you to get your puppy used to other dogs and learn how to play with them.
Note: puppies look like they are playing rough when they are not. Trust your trainer to watch playtime and break up any overly rough play.
Don’t worry about big dogs playing with small dogs. It’s fine. Puppies do fine with each other regardless of size. I have seen a great dane play with a chihuahua and the chihuahua had the great dane on his back and was climbing all over him.
Even if your new dog is an adult, they will still need a period of adjustment. Dogs that were perfectly potty trained and crate trained may backslide and need some retraining during this time. The same goes for obedience training.
Make sure that you put some money aside in case of dog emergencies. They can get into trouble on occasion or get sick and you want to make sure that you will be able to afford taking your dog to the vet when you need to. I made this mistake before I knew any better and had a few very tight months because of it. I don’t want you to live on ramen and mac and cheese like I did because you didn’t plan.
You also need to allow lots of time for play and petting. Puppies are energetic. They need a lot of attention. Plan on at least one long walk per day with your puppy. A leash and collar with your dog’s identifying information are a must. Here is a shopping list for a new dog or puppy that might help you get ready for puppy coming home.
You will also need to puppy proof your home. I will do another post to help you with this.

With 2012 coming to an end (and not because of an apocalyptic disaster), it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and decide what is appropriate to bring into 2013- and what should remain a distant memory once the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.
1.) Swag/YOLO, etc.
The lexicon of 2012 will have our grandchildren scratching their heads in confusion. “Saying YOLO negated reckless behavior? Swag was a good thing?” Well…yes. We’re living in a generation of excuses.
Promiscuity and utter irresponsibility is excused by a four letter acronym from a Drake song and girls fiend over virtually brain dead broke ass males so long as their OBEY hat is tilted the right way and matches their Jordans. This is why we must seal this slang in 2012 and never exhume it again.
2.) Gun Violence
Sixteen US mass shootings occurred in 2012. Enough is enough. These gruesome acts of violence are causing this country and my faith in humanity to deteriorate. Fingers have been pointed and blame has been dispensed, but that isn’t resolving the issue at hand. 2013 needs to see peace- so leave the violence and hatred behind.
3.) Jersey Shore
Now that the MTV hit has come to an end, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Guidos and Guidettes will no longer be glorified. I never truly understood how people could take them seriously.
Guidos, most likely shorter than I am even without my heels, make up for their lack of height by juicing up to the point where they have no neck and veins are popping out of the thick layer of leather they call skin.
Similarly, Guidettes must remove their bumpits, their oversize hoop earrings, and perhaps match the color of their face to the color of their actual skin. This race of fist pumping oompa loompas is one that I hope dies out in natural selection of 2013.
4.) 1 Direction
This British sensation sweeping the nation makes my skin crawl and not in a good way. Boy bands today can’t even come close to our generations poster hangings of N*Sync and Backstreet boys.
Don’t deny it, you know those songs were and still are catchy. Plus they knew how to perform and put on a show. 1 Direction features gangly metro’s hopping around stage clad in colored skinny jeans, blazers, and bad hair. Yes Harry Styles, I’m looking at you. 1 Direction should follow one direction: out of 2013.
5.) Instagram Models
My Instagram news feed is drowning in scantily clad females posing in front of the full length mirror hanging from their closet door. It seems as if the less clothes they wear, the more likes they gain. Because the amount of likes on a picture plays a crucial role in social standing these days.
Sometimes I wonder what their inner-commentary sounds like as they snap a photo. “I always lay in bed wearing Jordans,” or “I’ll hold my phone strategically over my face so the focus is on my boobs.” I once saw a seductive mirror picture featuring the girl’s poor father sleeping in the background. This needs to be discontinued.
6.) 50 Shades of Grey
Pretty much an X rated version of Twilight. Despite its outrageous raunchy details, it’s full of repetitive adjectives, predictable plot twists, and is basically written at a 5th grade reading level. I couldn’t even make it through the first book.
Middle-aged women everywhere are trading their Anne Taylor Loft blouses and pencil skirts for leather jumpsuits and whips. It would be nice to see an actual work of literature hold such a strong influence rather than a poorly written sadistic fantasy. 50 Shades of Grey needs to go laters, baby.
7.) Gangnam Style
The first video on YouTube to gain a billion hits was a short fat Asian man singing lyrics we can barely pronounce. It ranked #25 on Rolling Stone’s 50 best songs of the year. Really. It’s pretty safe to say that music definitely is not what is used to be. Although the dance can be fun when you’re inebriated and gallop around lassoing an imaginary rope, there comes a time in which this fad needs to fade. And that’s now.
8.) Tim Tebow- No explanation needed.

Right now, we are pretty open.
We would like to have the name of the company easily read and visible.
Please feel free to try Max 'n' Mum in the logo as well as Max and Mum.
You can also try the entire name of Max and Mum Kids' Activities, if you like.
Try to make the colors more gender neutral. In other words, nothing to strongly pink. Especially since my son is part of the company name. But we also don't want it overly masculine, either.
We would like it to be playful. We want a logo that immediately makes someone smile and think of fun.
Please note that our tag line is: Save your sanity by keeping your kids busy and happy. But it seems to be too much to include it in the logo. It become distracting. This is just so you have it for reference.
Also to let you know, in case you want to include anything relating to me and/or my son, we both have short, dark brown hair. And, I am fairly average size (size 8). I thought this might be necessary since we will be seen in the videos.
***UPDATE*** - We have noticed the addition of a "Max and "Mum" character detracts from the actual words, so we would prefer not to use them.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo. | <urn:uuid:d86673b8-1c46-418f-9ad5-e17c8e245a7f> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://es.99designs.com/logo-design/contests/fun-logo-needed-kids-activities-company-56555 | 2018-07-21T04:21:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676592309.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20180721032019-20180721052019-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.974478 | 287 |

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we do a lot of things, including the U.S. presidential conventions.
And while that has dampened some of the usual excitement, the convention is still the experience of a lifetime for one MSU Billings college student.
Mitch Bohn, 24, is one of Montana’s Democratic delegates, and he normally would be there in person. Because of the pandemic, however, this has been an unconventional convention.
"They have us in the same meetings that we would go to even if they were there. They have done a really good job transitioning this to all virtual, considering the circumstances,” Bohn says.
As a college student, Mitch says some of the issues most important to him are affordable education and healthcare.
“I’m disabled and going through insurances can be a real hassle,” he said.
And that was the reason he initially became interested in politics at a very young age. Along with being one of Montana’s 26 Democratic delegates, he is also the president of the MSUB College Democrats.
“When I was eight, I was going to be kicked off of Medicaid waiver, and (former longtime Montana U.S. Sen. Max) Baucus helped my family out with that. So that for me has been my driving force and then as I got older, I went to campaign rallies for Sen. (Jon) Tester and Gov. (Steve) Bullock and that just lit a fire for me that I’ve had ever since.”
Now Bohn and other Democrats are hoping that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will light a fire with voters this fall.
“I am excited about it. I personally feel for Montana, Joe Biden is someone we can relate to. I feel he is a lot like our Democrats that we elect here, so I feel like maybe he can bridge the gap in more Republican states like Montana than some other Democrats. And Kamala Harris has proven with her record that I think she would be a great vice president,” he says. | <urn:uuid:1264bf04-fc45-4c31-a0b7-2e36c1538e53> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ktvq.com/news/local-news/msu-billings-student-excited-about-biden-nomination | 2022-08-13T03:10:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.982985 | 437 |
Rants on Cycling and on Life:
Photos of people and bicycles that pass in front of my camera
i got it too. you must subscribe to either bicyling, mountain biking or outside. that's my guess. the mag in my opinion kinda blows, but the good biking mags in my opinion are dirt rag and bike, although i like mountain flyer, which is a rocky mountain mag. it's kinda low budget, but tugs at the heart strings.
I've been wondering the same thing about the issues that keep appearing in my mailbox...

Life would be pretty amazing if we got whatever we wanted. Sadly, dealing with rejection is just part of the game. From relationships to work, every aspect is filled with successes and rejections.
While avoiding every rejection that comes your way is impossible, you are able to control how you respond to it. By controlling your response, you set yourself up for better results next time around.
However, it’s important to point out dealing with rejection takes a lot of time and patience. In reality, it is a skill that many people struggle with.
Here are some tips to help get your through your next rejection:
Take a Second
It’s so incredibly easy to act on your gut reaction when you experience any type of rejection. Just, don’t do that. I can vouch from personal experience that it almost never works out in your favor.
Take a second, take a few deep breaths, and keep it together. Yes, you may want to scream, cry, yell, or argue…just don’t. It will be much more beneficial to take a step back and examine the situation.
Instead of going off your immediate reaction to being rejected, take a step back and work on responding with logic and a respectful attitude towards the person that rejected you. It’s never good to add fuel to the flame and people will respond much more positively to you in future interactions.
If you have time and if the situation allows it. grab coffee, go take a walk, or talk to a friend that isn’t part of the situation to cool off.
Take Time to Feel Your Emotions
Dealing with rejection means dealing with the negative emotions that come with it. Once you have a moment to breathe and to be alone, take inventory of your emotions. Rejection hurts and disregarding negative emotions that come up may come back to haunt you.
Because of this, take time to feel any and all emotions that you may have. Sometimes we have the tendency to push them down and move forward. However, understanding your emotions and how that rejection makes you feel might provide deeper insight to why you were rejected in the first place.
Try using some self-care techniques to really focus on you and getting back to a healthy mindset before getting back out there!
Don’t Take Rejection Too Personally
Ok, sometimes being rejected is completely our fault. However, 99 percent of the time, that isn’t the case. The fact is that there could be a million reasons outside of your control on why things didn’t go your way.
Maybe your crush has a lot going on in their lives and can’t handle a relationship at the moment. Maybe that work promotion you were passed up for doesn’t have to do with your ability to perform your job, but has to do with the time you’ve been in the position.
The point is, there are many many reasons why people experience rejection. Not taking one hundred percent of the blame can help you understand other perspectives and reasons why this may have happens.
Deal with Rejection…Then Move on From it!
At the end of the day, you got rejected. It happens to the best of us. Does it suck? Yes, completely. But should you sit around and dwell on it? No.
Not moving on from rejection will only set you up for more rejection. Yes, take time to get over the initial negative emotions that rejection brings with it, but at some point you will have to get up and get back out there.
In fact, one of the worst mistakes you could do is to have the one rejection you experienced keep you from getting back out there. Remember: You can’t set yourself up for success if you’re letting the fear of failure or rejection hold you back.
Reflect and Learn
Reflect on what happened (but don’t dwell) and gather lessons to take away from it. Learn from those lessons and use them to grow. Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted this time, but with the knowledge you gained from this experience, you will be better equipped to handle similar situations and opportunities.
- Rejection is normal
- Don’t let the fear of getting rejected keep you from chasing your goals, dreams, or desires
- Don’t act on any gut emotions/reactions that come from getting rejected
- Take time to feel your emotions
- Don’t take rejection too personally
- Move on from rejection and keep striving towards your goals
- Reflect, learn, and grow from this set back | <urn:uuid:bd517039-4746-419d-855c-878fe20c2a09> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://iamlaurenhale.com/2020/01/06/the-reality-of-dealing-with-rejection/ | 2021-09-17T10:49:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055632.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917090202-20210917120202-00093.warc.gz | en | 0.956983 | 953 |
The scourge of ransomware over the past two years has been impressive – and not in a good way. The number of frustrated computer users locked out of their PCs is at an all-time high with no signs of the ransomware epidemic relenting.
According to security experts, the last two years have seen an astounding growth in the number of people encountering ransomware. Between April 2015 and March 2016 the number of users hit by ransomware rose 17.7 percent worldwide compared to the prior year, according a new report by Kaspersky Lab.
The in-depth report reveals that tactics have changed significantly for ransomware criminals with crypto ransomware now the dominant strain of ransomware versus Windows blocker ransomware, where a user is blocked from accessing their OS or web browser via a pop-up window. | <urn:uuid:81696124-07ae-49e8-9ab7-d6ff31d0aa32> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://alerts.stidia.com/alert/997,ransomware-a-two-year-nightmare-in-the-making.html | 2019-02-18T11:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247486480.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218114622-20190218140622-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.93831 | 154 |
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: this cheesecake recipe doesn’t have any cheese in it! It’s actually vegan, gluten free, and paleo! I know what you’re thinking – Is it lacking in flavor? Absolutely not. I wouldn’t do that to y’all.
I was inspired to make this recipe after seeing sooo many vegan and paleo cheesecake recipes floating around Insta and Pinterest (hello, Minimalist Baker 😍). I knew I just had to make my own. And put my own spin on it. Behold – the piña colada cheesecake!!! OMG. So good.
What’s better than a healthy, dairy-free cheesecake? One you don’t even have to bake, of course! These cheesecakes are actually raw! You just need to let them set in the freezer. How easy is that??
The ingredients list calls for coconut cream in the filling. This needs to be smooth coconut cream, as opposed to creamed coconut which can have a grainy texture. Sometimes you can find coconut cream on its own, but it isn’t that common. Instead, just grab a container (or 2!) of full fat coconut milk (unshaken and right-side up) and place it in the fridge overnight. The coconut cream will separate to the top. This trick doesn’t work with all coconut milks though. Here in the Netherlands I use a brand of pure organic coconut milk called Go-Tan, which comes in little boxes. It tastes amazing and separates beautifully. Other brands that work are Native Forest and Thai Kitchen, both of which are available in the U.S.
One last note here: please keep in mind that while these cheesecakes are meant to mimic the taste and texture of traditional cream cheese-filled cheesecake in all its glory, it’s pretty much impossible to get the exact same cheesecake experience without the dairy. That’s just how life is. Sorry! If you expect these to taste exactly like real cheesecake, then this recipe is not for you. The taste and texture are slightly different. BUT if you’re looking for a great dairy-free alternative with a tropical spin, read on, my loves!
- 1½ cups (225g) dried Medjool dates
- 1½ cups (150g) walnut halves
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- 2 cups (200g) raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 1 cup (225g) coconut cream
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ⅓ cup fresh pineapple juice
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 cups (270g) pineapple pieces
- Before you begin to make the crust, lightly grease a muffin pan with coconut oil. Then cut 12 thin strips of parchment paper to line the muffin tins with. The strips will help you remove the cheesecakes from the pan once they are done, so make sure the edges have enough overhang to hold onto with your fingers. Line the muffin pan with the strips. See the photo below for an example.
- To make the crust, place all of the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse for about a minute or until the mixture is well combined and broken down a bit. Don't over blend. The crust should still have a little texture to it. The mixture should stick together when pressed, but won't form one big sticky ball in the food processor (like you may want in other recipes). If the mixture seems a little dry, add a few more dates. If it's too sticky, add some more walnuts.
- Divide the crust mixture evenly among the twelve muffin tins. Press the crust down firmly with your finger tips or a shot glass.
- Place the muffin pan in the freezer.
- To make the filling, place all of the filling ingredients in a blender and blend on high until really smooth.
- Remove the muffin pan from the freezer and pour the filling over the crusts.
- Top the cheesecakes with pineapple pieces and you're done!
- Now, return the muffin pan to the freezer for about 4-5 hours or until the cheesecakes are completely set.
- While they are still frozen, remove them from the pan by gently pulling on the tabs you created earlier. This is when greasing the pan also comes in handy! If you forgot to grease the pan (hello, been there), use a butter knife to gently pry them out. Make sure to do this while they are still frozen though.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before serving to allow them to soften a bit. Store under refrigeration in a sealed container for up to 5 days. They can also be stored in the freezer in a sealed container for even longer!

The first summer after I returned to riding, my most fabulous coach Sandy gave me a couple of weeks of job teaching camp kids. We had 2 groups, I did "classroom" type stuff and games while she taught the riding portions of the day. These pics were taken on "learn to polo the retired shool horse" day. All of these kids are now well out of high school, and I have kept in touch with a few of them.
This was also the summer I decided I wanted to compete more in Eventing rather then the H/J shows I had done before. In the spring of 2004 I went to jump judge at my first show, and from then on I was totally hooked (even though it was a long, rainy COLD day in may!). These are some pics of me and Casper at my very first entry level event at Glen Oro Farm in late August of 2004 (pictures taken by Christina Handley):
About two months before the above event, I brought home my first and last free lease. His name was Bo, and he was a delicately built and honestly a little fugly OTTB.
Bo and I went to two combined tests together, both in the spring of 2005. The first one, held at Glen Grandview Farm we went Cross Country schooling as well, the 2nd at Equus 3D was just the combined test.
We had planned on going to a full event in June, however Bo had some serious issues with the trailer from day 1, and I couldn't hold up my ride to get him in the trailer. He went home to his owner in July of 2005, as I had moved away for a job (and moved in with a new boyfriend), and decided to let the lease go. Bo wound up being sold to a buyer who had come to try him with me - she was a young dressage rider who absolutely fell in love with him, and as I understand it she still has him. It was a good place for him as he never 100% enjoyed jumping.
I took another year and a half break at this point, I tried to keep up school horse lessons, but after the job I moved for turned out to be a bust, I couldn't justify the 2 hour drive to the barn and my coach I loved, so instead I tried working as a stable hand for a local eventing facility. This lasted for a couple of months, untill I realised the farm had no intention of ever letting me actually ride, which was the reason I took the job.
In early 2006 my grandmother died, and I moved back home. Shortly after this I started taking weekly lessons again, untill the lesson barn closed due to the owner's devorce in 2007. Casper is still happily living with our local equine vet, and many of the other well loved schoolies got great homes. One of the ponies went to a friend of my coach, and is actually now boarded at Sandy's new farm.
Not long after, while Sandy was working on a new place for her students, I met Heather. She had a small farm at the time, and wanted help on weekends so her family could go on vacations without worrying about the farm. She had several horses I could go take on trail rides, and this worked out well for both of us. In late September of 2007 Heather brought Dottie home.
Dottie was a long 3 year old, and was intended to be a lease horse for me. Only hitch was, she was not even halter-broke! I was certain Heather was trying to kill me, but after only a month or so of consistent handling she was handleable, mostly catchable, and consistently longing and long lining.
Dottie was an interesting little mare, and I learned a ton from her. She was quite easy to start - we had actually intended to send her out for a month or so of training, but everything seemed so easy she stayed with us instead. For Christmas that year, Heather decided to give Dottie to me - and needless to say I was thrilled.
Sometime during the winter ot this same year, Heather picked up Ivan. He was 7 years old, unbroke and ungelded. He was also a big, pushy jerk (but not nearly so bad as Felix!!). After about a month of boot camp, he was fairly easily handled and rideable - in ways he was even easier then Dottie, he was certainly more lazy. I don't have too many pics of him - but here is a couple:
He eventually went on to be a school horse, and was of course gelded - but he was actually nice enough that with the right handler he could have been kept intact.
In May of 2008 Heather and I went to a Clinic with a dressage instructor named Sue Rothgeb. She was very good to work with, and I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Here are a few pictures from that:
In the winter of 2008 Dottie and I moved to a boarding barn so we would have a full sized arena for the winter. She loved jumping, and we had every intention of getting her out eventing in 2009. There were some setbacks, one of them involving changing her saddle which did not agree with her back and caused some training issues. I had finally gotten these fixed, and we were working on some grids one day. I got too far ahead of her into the first jump, and she tripped badly over the 2nd. She flipped over, and fortunately for me I was flung free before she fell, as I would probably not be here today to tell the story. This is why your coach gets on you to not jump ahead of the horse. It's not just unsightly, it also throws off the ballance of the horse and can cause a younger or more unbalanced horse to fall. She and I kept trying to get back where we trusted each other all winter - did a fair bit of hacking and such. This was taken on Boxing Day, 2009.
This winter I also met my current guy, Zack, and wound up doing a lot more traveling as he's from Florida and works all over the US. Dottie went into nearly full time training with Sandy at this point, which went very well. In January the decision was made to sell her. I always said it was because I didn't have time, but the reality that I never wanted to admit was I was afraid of her, and felt that I'd never feel safe enough to acheve my goals. She had too much potential to keep as nothing but a trail horse, so in June of 2010 she was sold, and now lives with Paige. They are a much better match, and even though I occasionally regret having sold her, there is little I can do about it now. Here are a few of the last pics I have of her, that were taken for her for sale ads:
In the summer of 2010 I took a couple of lessons from a great lady named Heather out of Boldventure Farms in upstate New York, as that's where I was staying at the time with Zack. She had me ride a fantastic OTTB named Zulu. I wish I could afford more lessons with her, but unfortunately everything horsey is super expensive within a 200 mile raduis of NYC
And this brings us up to around present time. I did not ride for at least 10 months before I bought Felix, which shows when you see the upcoming pics of me riding that were taken today - that update will follow tomorrow :) | <urn:uuid:325c2507-1ee9-4a05-9116-46ccf647afa4> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://felixfjord.blogspot.com/2011/08/old-photo-albums-sequel.html | 2018-10-22T00:26:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583514437.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20181021224001-20181022005501-00134.warc.gz | en | 0.994193 | 1,557 |

Current Mine Safety Disasters: Issues and Challenges
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
United States Senate
Tuesday October 2, 2007
Good morning Mr. Chairman and other distinguished Members of the Committee. My name is Jeffery Kohler, and I am the Associate Director for Mine Safety and Health Research at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the Department of Health and Human Services. I am pleased to be here today to give you an update on NIOSH's mine safety activities, including those that have been initiated under the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act).
The United States is fortunate to have an abundance of mineral resources to power the economy and the highly skilled men and women who work in the mining industry every day are our most precious resource. Mine safety has improved significantly over the years, yet the mine disasters in 2006 and the recent disaster at the Crandall Canyon Mine in Utah serve as painful reminders of the dangers inherent to this industry, and our shared responsibilities to ensure the safety and health of our mineworkers. These tragedies raise serious concerns about coal mine safety among all constituencies of the mining industry. In the wake of a mining disaster, NIOSH is available to assist MSHA and provide technical assistance and support as needed. We have a long and rich history of advancing mine worker safety and health and we remain vigilant to the practices that we recognize work to prevent future disasters.
Under the legislative mandates provided in the MINER Act of 2006, current changes are underway, and represent the most significant improvement in mine safety in three decades. New communications and tracking technologies, Self Contained Self Rescuers (SCSRs), and refuge alternatives are being developed. New and more effective training programs, emergency procedures, and mine safety practices are being designed using innovative risk analysis and management systems. Any one of these alone would improve mine safety, but in combination the effect is expected to be great. The legislative mandates have created an unprecedented environment of partnership among labor, industry, and government.
Progress on NIOSH MINER Act ActivitiesUnder the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act) (P.L. 109-236), NIOSH was given the responsibility of conducting research to help develop new technologies for the survival and successful rescue of trapped miners after a mine emergency.
Inside the mine, survival hinges on the availability of safe shelter and breathable air. Above ground, because every hour counts, rescue crews need reliable and precise means of locating and communicating with those who are trying to escape or have become trapped. Specifically, the legislation gave us the responsibility for meeting these needs through research critical for developing new technologies for communication and tracking, safe refuge, and oxygen supply.
Underground mines are uniquely rugged and complex environments. In working to advance beyond current technologies for survival and communications, researchers must test their technical expertise and ingenuity against some basic laws of nature. For example, in seeking improvements in communications and tracking technologies in emergencies, we face fundamental limitations in both types of systems - wired and wireless - that are used for transmitting voices or signals over long distances or through the earth.
Signals sent by wireless systems, such as radio signals, are blocked by rock and other barriers. This poses a basic hurdle, whether the intent is communication from above ground to trapped miners hundreds or thousands of feet below, or communication from the mine opening into a tunnel that has been blocked by rock after an explosion or a mine collapse.
Wired transmissions depend on signals sent along wires and cables. Wires and cables are susceptible to being snapped or damaged beyond use in an explosion or a crushing roof collapse. The breaks or damage may occur at locations that are not readily accessible.
To engage such challenges, we have had to apply a mix of scientific know-how and creativity, our close working knowledge of the underground mine environment, and persistence in working through the technical questions that always come up in scientific studies.
We have also had to design research across several related but different tracks, and to administer contracts and award funds to outside partners with resources and expertise that complement ours. We have moved ahead with a sense of urgency while doing everything we can to assure high-quality research.
Some of the more significant accomplishments include:
Communications and Tracking technology - We have awarded seven research contracts to outside partners that address key needs for advancing communication technologies. The partnerships join NIOSH's resources and expertise with complementary outside resources and expertise. The projects address several related but separate targets for improving communication systems in emergencies. Among these, three important targets are: (1) a more survivable leaky feeder system; (2) an improved medium frequency capability that is integrated with either leaky feeder or wire mesh systems; and (3) a through-the-earth, two-way voice system. Taken in total, reaching these targets will contribute to the overall goal of significantly improving both the coverage and survivability of emergency communications systems. We expect that combinations of these technological innovations will become available within the timeframes specified by the MINER Act.
A Subterranean Wireless Electronic Communication System - We achieved a notable milestone in August in the research to improve communication technologies. In tests at two underground mines, transmissions from a wireless system were successfully received over a two-mile distance, despite twists and turns in the mine tunnel and other physical barriers. To date, such barriers have limited two-way wireless communications to much shorter distances. In simplest terms, we tested a system in which a signal would hop along all available conductors such as electrical wires and water lines to get around barriers. The tests have not yielded a final product, but they tell us that it is technologically feasible to develop a system that communicates over much longer distances than existing systems, which was a fundamental challenge that we faced. We are proceeding toward next steps of this research with our partners, to address questions about other key aspects of this promising approach.
Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR) - The major goal of the oxygen supply work is to develop a next generation Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR), which will be "dockable"1 and will overcome existing performance problems. Under the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006 (P.L. 109-234), which provided $10 million to NIOSH for mine safety technology research, the first prototypes of this unit have been designed, built, and evaluated. All of the performance parameters have been achieved. At a meeting with industry and labor representatives, in which they examined the new units, concerns were raised about their shape and the comfort in wearing them. Accordingly, the manufacturer has been directed to re-design the housing to make the units smaller and easier to wear. The new prototypes are expected within the next nine months.
Refuge Alternatives - All of our work in advancing safe shelter or refuge alternatives is on schedule, and we expect to complete the report required of us under the MINER Act by the deadline set by the Act. In a related project, we have also offered to help the State of West Virginia by developing and conducting a test program for refuge chambers. Although the program has been delayed as we wait for test equipment to be delivered, and it has placed additional demands on our limited number of staff, our stakeholders have emphasized to us that this is an important need, and we agree. We expect to begin testing within a few weeks. Based on findings to date, we anticipate that practical means for refuge or safe shelter can be made available to mines in the near future. However, it will be important to establish appropriate training and other administrative procedures for mines, to ensure that alternatives for refuge become a part of more effective escape and rescue strategies.
We have also pursued a flow of information back and forth with other Federal agencies, with whom we have been collaborating under the Interagency Working Group that was established by the MINER Act. Our Federal partners have made us aware of technologies currently used in other applications that may be adaptable to our needs in the mining environment, and are helping us to see how they may fit. For example, the Naval Research Laboratory and NASA have offered their knowledge on human performance and survivability in closed systems that protect humans from hostile environments, such as submarines and spacecraft. They have worked with us to see how this knowledge may advance our research on refuge chambers. The U.S. Army and the Department of Homeland Security are leveraging their knowledge and needs in regard to communications and tracking systems with ours. These and other partnerships will save time, resources, and trial-and-error for NIOSH, and we hope that these collaborating agencies will benefit similarly. The partnerships will also help us meet our duties under the MINER Act more quickly and efficiently.
Ground Control in Underground Mining
The recent disaster at the Crandall Canyon Mine in Utah has brought several topics to national attention in the area of ground control in underground mining. The prevention of fatalities and injuries from failures of the roof, pillars or floor has been a priority area of research, development, demonstration, and research to practice activities at NIOSH for many years. Significant safety improvements have been achieved. Coal bumps, bounces, and outbursts have been a longstanding safety hazard in some mines in the Southern Appalachian, Colorado, and Utah coalfields. A coal bump is the sudden and violent failure of highly stressed coal or surrounding strata. Bumps caused many fatalities in past decades, and were the subject of intensive research by NIOSH and its predecessor agencies. The results of this research were best practices documents and mine planning tools, such as computer models. Over the past decade, for example, many workshops have been conducted and now the NIOSH tools are widely used to improve ground control in the mines.
NIOSH has developed several computer programs to help mine planners design coal pillars. For longwall mining, there is the Analysis of Longwall Pillar Stability (ALPS). For room-and-pillar and retreat mines, there is the Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS). Both of the programs are widely used throughout the U.S. These programs, along with others developed by industry or academia, provide an excellent methodology for properly designing coal mine pillars for a wide range of mining conditions. Important enhancements to the NIOSH models are the associated databases, which document observed in-mine failures and successes of various designs.
The application of seismic monitoring has been mentioned in recent weeks as a potential technology for predicting coal bumps. For more than thirty years scientists and engineers around the world have invested hundreds of millions of dollars attempting to understand coal bumps and rock bursts, and to develop systems that could predict or warn of impending events. Much has been learned about the events and how to reduce their occurrence through engineering design, but no success has been achieved in prediction. Today, seismic monitoring is used more in hardrock mining, as part of a risk management program, but very infrequently in coal mining. Despite advances in technologies, such as geophones, signal processing equipment and computers, many of the fundamental barriers that existed 30 years ago remain today.
Notwithstanding, there could be value in applying seismic monitoring at mines with a history of bumps, as part of a larger risk management program, as is done in Australian and many European coal mines.
In closing, NIOSH continues to work diligently to protect the safety and health of mineworkers. The relevance of our past work and continued need for further safety and health research is highlighted by the recent mine disasters. We have made significant improvements in the areas of communication and tracking, oxygen supply, and refuge alternatives. Moreover, our safety and health research program is addressing the critical areas identified by our customers and stakeholders, and through our research, development, demonstration, and diffusion activities, we are enabling a shift to a prospective harm reduction culture in the mining industry. I appreciate the opportunity to present our work to you and thank you for your continued support. I am pleased to answer any questions you may have.

NEW ULM - Brown County commissioners will consider a $312,100 Sleepy Eye ARMER radio site project on Tuesday,
The radio site is needed to bring a more reliable ARMER radio signal to the Sleepy Eye. There are currently several reported and documented radio signal "dead spots" in the Sleepy Eye area, according to the Request for Board Action (RBA).
The existing free-standing tower, tower shed and generator at the Brown County Highway Department in Sleepy Eye would be re-used to mount and house ARMER tower project equipment.
If the County Board favors the Sleepy Eye tower site, recommended funding sources are $183,500 from revenues remaining from special project levies since 2010 and $128,600 from Revenue Fund 01 contingency line items (General Fund reserves).
In other action, commissioners will consider:
A $2,373 bid from Roger Koski of South Lion, Mich., for the sale of a 2004 Ford El Dorado bus declared Property as Excess for Sale on Feb. 25, by commissioners.
Only one bid was received and opened on the date and time required by board action. Proceeds from the bus sale must be put into the Public Transit Account and may only be allocated for public transit purposes.
Final acceptance of urban grading, storm sewer, cold in-place recycling (CIR), overlay and aggregate shoulder work on CSAH 16 (old TH 258) from the south county line to TH 14. The project included grading, storm sewer and surfacing work in Comfrey and CIR, overlay and aggregate shoulder work in rural areas.
The highway had many pavement cracks and needed rehabilitation. The City of Comfrey constructed water main and sanitary sewer work using City Funds. The project was completed in September 2013 except the televising of sewer lines in Comfrey. The City and contractor have agreed on that issue and final acceptance of the project can be completed.
The Brown County Highway Department has completed finalizing quantities and required testing and recommends final acceptance.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m., Tuesday, in the courthouse commissioners room.

"Is that a woman or a man?" I asked my sister from our perch in an empty gate at the Detroit airport.
She peered at the target. "Hmmm...I don't KNOW," she said.
And so it began, another round of Airport Games.
I spend a lot of time in airports, both for work and travel, and despite them all having the same general function, they all differ slightly, from the slightly confusing (Santiago), slightly terrifying (Lukla, Nepal) to freezing (Denver) and seemingly always crowded (Salt Lake). Nevertheless, there's only so much reading you can do during, say, a 6 hour layover in Dallas. So that's when I resort to people watching. Here are some games I like to play. They are much more fun with another person but can be played alone too. You're welcome.
1. Guess people's stories. What is that couple fighting about? Where is that handsome man with a guitar going? Wait, was that Taylor Swift walking by? This one is fun because you can always make something up, the more elaborate the better.
2. Seek out Glamour Dos. The last page of Glamour Magazine has pictures of real people and celebrities and determines whether their outfits are fashion Dos or Don'ts. Airports are great places for this game, as people sport all types of outfits in which to travel. On my last trip, there were a surprising number of well dressed women in Detroit.
3. Try to guess where people are going or coming from based on attire and bags. It's amusing to see shorts and tank tops in the same general area as down jackets and beanies. I play a version of this in immigration lines in international airports that I like to call American/Not American. Oddly, I must not look that American, because locals and even some Americans tend to come up to me speaking rapid Spanish.
What about you? How do you pass the time in airports? | <urn:uuid:76e4bcd2-2d56-419a-9c5c-4bc97db441d4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://accidental-firefly.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-airport-games.html | 2017-06-27T12:12:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321410.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627115753-20170627135753-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.973705 | 411 |

Love Talks Radio Interview
Interviewed by Foster Braun
WWCM Detroit, MI October 1988
Foster Braun: I love it! That is a very special introduction to our very special guest in the second hour of this program. His name is Rich Mullins and Rich, normally that song does not have a piano accompaniment...
Rich: Normally not. Probably better off without it.
Foster Braun: (Laughter) I'm glad you did it. Something we have not done before with another guest and we thought we'd try it with you since you seem to be willing to almost try anything..
Rich: I will try anything.
Foster Braun: Yes - once at least... is to put a piano in the studio here. Yes, your very own.
Rich, thank you so much for being here and boy am I glad you're in town.
Rich: Boy am I glad to be here.
Foster Braun: Rich, you are I think probably known more to us now as a singer as well, but you were known long before we ever heard "Screen Door on a submarine" and other things - "Verge of a Miracle".. you were also a songwriter.
Rich: Yeah, I think I'm a better songwriter than I am a singer.
Foster Braun: Which do you prefer?
Rich: Well, I like singing except that I think I have a horrible voice.
Foster Braun: What?!?
Rich: I think I have a bad voice. I mean like, the way I sound now - I sound like kind of Jerry Lewis/Minnie Mouse mixture with a cold, post nasal drip the whole thing. I'm the most ill-equipped singer in the world. So I'm much more comfortable playing piano and writing except no one hears me except me - and God, and God really isn't picky.
Foster Braun: God and God alone listneing to you. So it's been something that has been thrust upon you in some ways?
Rich: Yeah but it is fun! I mean what I like about a concert is my audience... I mean audiences - they can be really, really a drag or they can be really neat. They either make it happen or they really kill you.
Foster Braun: That twinkle in your eye - It seems if you can catch the audience and they can kind of get hold of your unique way of looking at life you can have a lot of fun with them...
Rich: I think people who are open to having fun, do have fun. I mean it's so different from setting to setting and audience to audience. If you go into an audience and they don't come in with a lot of preconcieved notions about what a Christian music concert is all about and they are open and willing to do some things with ya - man you have a great time. But if you go in and they're like, 'This is a sacred music concert and we're going to clap like adults.' You know, then it's a real drag.
Foster Braun: (Laughter) I mean this as a compliment. You have a real child like nature about you just in terms of the songs - The Lord said unless we become like little Children we're not going to get to Heaven. I really find that in your music... it sounds like that's what you look for in your concerts too?
Rich: I hope that's true. I think growing up was a very dull process that led to nowhere so I just inverted the whole thing. Because I was a real serious kid. I mean I think I'm still serious, I'm just serious about not being serious anymore. Is that weird?
Foster Braun: No, not at all. What I find in your music is - both lyrically and in terms of the music is a willingness to kind of experiment with lyrical content and also musical arrangements - like the accapella version there with the... sounded like hambone in the background
Rich: Yeah, that was one guy doing that - isn't that cool? That was my producer Reed Arvin and he's a great guy.
Foster Braun: And that's just hand clappin and knee slapping and the harmonizing was outstanding in that. But you seem to be interested in kind of exploring areas both lyrically and musically that aren't kind of run of the mill things that are being done
Rich: Well see I think that the mistake that a lot of writers make and a lot of people make is that they feel like if you're going to write Christian music there are certain things that you write about - you write about your conversion experience, you write about religious themes, you write about this... but when I read the scriptures I find that people talked about practical, very every-day things. Christianity is supposed to have an effect on the way we look at everything. I mean if you're a Christian, then it should have some effect on the way you blow your nose for example.. you should approach everything from a Christian point of view. And I also think some artists have almost gone the other extreme where they're almost afraid to talk about Jesus at all..
Foster Braun: yeah, it's almost like fill in the blank here... him or her could almost be anybody...
Rich: Yeah like all the "you" songs. I mean I can kind of understand why they've done that, except that... you know I was so glad on the last album that I wrote the song "Such A Thing As Glory" because it kind of spells out exactly who Jesus was. One of the coolest things that happened was when we were in Dallas we stopped at one of these little 24 hour gas station/restaurant/landromat and bookstore. So I went in and the guy running the place was Iranian. He got out of Iran when (the Shah left) and the Ayatollah came in. So this guy evidently was a rich guy in Iran and was American-backed and then when they kicked America out he left too. And he wants to go back to Iran - well I met him and I gave him a tape and I thought man, what better could I leave in his hands than a tape that says 'there was a man named Jesus He was God and He was flesh and He came down here to lead us out of this burning wilderness. He took upon our shoulders, our sin, our shame, our death and there is such a thing as glory.' so I was really excited about that.
Foster Braun: It seems like we're kind of at a critcal point for Christian artists - We've had the public scandals of the Bakers and the Swaggarts that have happened and there have been rumbles that things like this have been going on in Christian music too. Don Francisco recently came out and bless his heart for confessing that pornography had been a real bondage for him for a long time reading it... we almost seem to be at a place where people are going to have to make their minds up. Whether they want to conform to the culture around them or if they want to have a message, and a music that kind of cuts a new frontier as Christians. Am I right in that perception?
Rich: I think you're really right and that's one of the frustrations that a lot of Chritian musicians have. One thing I find really objectionable in the whole industry is that they're always wanting to say this guy sounds like this guy, and this guy sounds like this guy - or when you're going in to make a record they say well we want this record to sound like this secular artist. And my thing is, since when should the church ever be imitating the world? Bach set the standard for western music ever since he wrote. He was THE Christian music and western music has never recuperated from the impact that Bach had on it because he was a sincere man, he was a man of great integrity and what he did musically had the effect that it should have had. Because he was what he should have been. I think a Christian musician... a Christian anybody should be wrapped up in finding the Lord and finding the Lord's will for their lives and not worried about what the world says about it. You know what I mean is?
Foster Braun: Yeah, I've talked with people like Philip Bailey who said the fact that I have a talent as a musician - and an artistic talent is almost like painting. To use the anaology if I was a painter, to be a Christian painter that doesn't mean I would paint crucifixes all of the time. That I could paint any number of different kinds of subjects. How about musically, how does that apply to you?
Rich: I write an awfully lot about Christ. I do think that a Christian job is to... if we are light in the world - the interesting thing about light is that you can't see it. The interesting thing about light is that you see everything in light of it but you can't see light itself. If it wasn't for dust in the air you wouldn't even see light beams. What you see when you see beams of light is you see these dust motes that are being lit up by light. A christians job is to put things in light of who Christ is. In light of what reality is, in light of what the truth is. I don't think it's always our job to point to the sun - to point to the source of the light and say 'look at that, look at that, look at that.' Because if you do, you'll never see it - you'll go blind. But when you begin to see things as the light exposes them...
Foster Braun: Different areas of life is what you're saying..
Rich: Right. I do personally feel a personal need to talk about who Jesus is because I really think until I came to meet Him - until the reality of the Lordship of Christ really impacted my life... I think I had a lot of neat ideas, I think I had a lot of fun, I think life was pretty much ok. But, there's only one way to the Father and that's through Christ. If I fail to communicate that, then I have failed.
Foster Braun: Now, I saw in some of your biographical material, you grew up in a Christian home?
Rich: Yeah, it was great.
Foster Braun: ... and you were in Christian singing groups, etc.. it sounds like this was something that happened a little while ago?
Rich: It's something that continues to happen.
Foster Braun: It continues to happen.
Rich: Yeah, like I was baptised in the 3rd grade right and I knew when I was baptised that it was for the remission of sin and to recieve the Holy spirit. So I made I think a very adult, a very mature decision. I realized that I had sinned. I knew that I wanted the Holy Spirit, I knew that I wanted to be a Christian and that was in the teaching of my church and the teaching that I believed to be true the initiatory right into the faith. So I understood that. But, at 33 that means a lot more to me than it did when I was in the third grade just like one time that I was talking to my dad and I said 'how did you know that you loved mom?' and he said, 'I didn't. I didn't even know what love was. When I married your mom, I didn't know what love was. Now that I've lived with her and I've learned all of her quirks and I've seen what makes her tick and all of that stuff. Now I can really say I love her.'
I think Christianity is the kind of thing, if your faith is vital, it's going to continue to deepen and it's going to continue to expand.
Foster Braun: Rich Mullins, our guest here on Love Talk, so welcome back to the program. Rich is here with me in the studios and we've even got a piano here in front of him and he's been accompanying some of the tunes as we've been playing them as well making them something unique and original... actually everything you do is unique and original Rich. That's what I find refreshing. You can never tell what is going to happen next.
I have heard that there have been a number of different kind of influences both on your songwriting and on your music and John Lennon is one of them.. the former Beatle. Tell me about that?
Rich: Well I think - you know when you're a kid, your experience does not go much beyond that adolescent kind of anger - you know what I mean is? And I think John Lennon had that in his music. And so I think I made a real strong identification with him at some point. Like Junior High, maybe 6th or 7th grade. Well first of all the Beatles were my big heroes because I was a total geek. I mean I grew up in a little farming school community.. went to a little county school and if you don't play basketball in rural Indiana, you're like nothing. Well I can't even walk at the same time, let alone walk and chew gum at the same time. Or dribble a ball. I mean I could dribble it if I could stand still, but I was no fun to play ball with so I was the school geek - until the Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan show and then I looked at them and I went I could be amazing, because I could do that. And women were screaming everywhere....
Foster Braun: (Laughter) Suddenly a date for the prom was not out of question?
Rich: Suddenly things were looking promising. I decided rather of playing the little John Thompson songs, I was going to start playing Beatles songs. And when I could play "I Want To Hold Your Hand".. I played it at recess during the winter when we had to play inside and I played it on the piano. And I was a hit. Rosella Ross kissed me. I'll never forget it.
Foster Braun: So it became a doorway for you really into expressing the talents that you had?
Rich: ...And just into social acceptability.
Foster Braun: (Laighter) And no longer a leper socially in the school? And as you're going on and as you've seen the path that John Lennon's life took, what impressions have that left you with? I know there's a movie coming out I think called "Imagine"...
Rich: Yeah, I think people are just desperate for heroes. And I think John Lennon said the right things, I don't think he lived the right things. And I'm not sure that everything he said was even right. In fact, there's a lot that I really have some trouble with. I think the world is in such desperate need of heroes that anyone we have the opportunity to put up on a pedestal...
Foster Braun: Who are some of yours?
Rich: Some of my own personal heroes? They're very personal.. my great grandmother is a big hero of mine. She raised three kids pretty much by herself and never lost her faith in the midst of an awful lot of tribulation. She was quaker, but she was spunky enough that she would wear beads.
Foster Braun: For quakers that was spunky?
Rich: That was very spunky. In fact, she would wear tons of beads - I mean it wasn't like she would wear one. Growing up, they weren't allowed to talk at the table like when they ate. She had a very strict father. When she was an old woman she decided that it was ok to wear jewlery ... you know as long as she wasn't all wrapped up in it. Of course necklaces you're pretty wrapped up in because you put it around you. But she would wear several different strands of really horrible looking beads. She always went for the cheap - if she had been in third grade it would have been ok. But I always liked that about her. It always looked so tacky, but it was cool. She didn't mind being tacky.
My grandpa Dean was a big hero of mine. My grandma and grandpa Mullins - they were hillbillies who rose above their situation. My grandpa looked at my Dad when my Dad was 14 and said I don't want my son to be a coal miner like I am. We're moving to Indiana. They ran out of gas somewhere around Greenfield, Indiana and decided to stay there because they couldn't go any farther. Which is the difference between people in Indiana and people in Detroit - Indiana is entirely populated by hillbillies who were on their way to Detroit to get jobs.
Detroit is half populated by the hillbillies that had gas.
Foster Braun: (Laughter) Now, there's a lot of folks out there who come from that section of the country, and I want you to know -- that's Rich that said it and not me, ok? And he comes from that background and so...
Rich: Hey, I love it. I was really embarassed by it when I was a kid. I mean I really was. My moms family, they were all from Richmond, IN and they all had a little bit of an education and all of that. And I really wanted to be like that because - taking piano lessons, you're kind of... a lot of the kids I took piano lessons with.. I remember going to the recitals and you know Dr. Guthrie and his wife and this person and this person.. and my mom, no make up, no earrings. She just looked like plain Jane and my Dad, his pants never fit him right and he had a geek burr haircut and I was really embarassed by him and then all of a sudden - we went to Kentucky. We went to Kentucky all of the time it's like the Jews going to the wailing wall. We would go down to Kentucky but I remember one particular time my Dad took me back to the family grounds and was telling me the story of each of the head stones - each person. Telling me about how they lived and how they died and what was going on and...
Foster Braun: A real sense of roots..
Rich: Yeah! And you realize how much suffering was involved in their lives and you realize what an incredible thing even to survive. So I have a great respect. I used to think creative people were musicians and artists and like that. And then I started paying attention to how my Dad farms. And I started to pay attention to the amount of creativity he had to use in order to make the farm work. And I began to realize, you know... James was right. You don't judge people by what they wear. James was right. Then I decided you know, if you can't be proud of where you come from you ain't never gonna have no pride. So you'd better take pride. And I don't mean pride like being puffed up, I mean in having a sense of self esteem.
Foster Braun: Yeah, a healthy sense of self esteem - of really being thankful in many ways of the things that God has allowed in your life. I visited my folks a few weeks ago down in North Carolina and the Ashville area, up in the Blue Ridge - actually a section of the Smokey's, and somebody said it's fascinating to see the life that people led back there all tucked away in those little valleys and it must have taken a tremendous amount of courage to live in those kinds of situations and there's a real nobility and I think... I see your songs and your lyrics as kind of returning to those kinds of simpler images. The "Screen Door in a Submarine" just happens to stick in my head as one. 'A faith without works is dead' is the scriptural truth there but the images are very simple ones. They're very down to earth.
Rich: That came from a shocking discovery about C.S. Lewis. I've been a big C.S. Lewis fan all of my life - well, not all of my life but... when I was about the 9th or 10th Grade my pastor gave me Mere Christianity to read because at the time I was so open minded I was like, 'well Yes I'm a Christian because Jesus works for me, but if Buddha works for you, or herroin works for you, or whatever works for you is fine.' And he was one of the people who really confronted me about that kind of mindset and gave me Mere Christianity to read. I think I was a pretty smart kid, I was way ahead in school and I think I took an awful lot of pride in being smart. And so I was very careful to have the intelligentsia kind of opinion. Then when I read C.S. Lewis I mean here was a guy who obviously was way beyond me and yet he believed in a very fundamental kind of Gospel. Which, now looking back I'm sorry that I had to win the approval of someone other than God in order to become serious about my commitment to Christ. It always kind of bothers me when people say, 'Well Science supports the Bible,' because I'm always like, 'Who Cares?' If it doesn't, then it's wrong. And just because someone has more of what we value than we do thinks Christianity is cool, it still isn't any cooler than it was when Jesus was the only one who thought it was cool. You know what I mean is?
Foster Braun: Yeah, exactly.
Rich: So, um... but anyway... where in the world were we going with this?
Foster Braun: We were talking about the simpler images that C.S. Lewis had..
Rich: Oh that's right. For having such a muddled mind it's amazing I can come up with any images. But anyway.... (Laughter)
So, C.S. Lewis became a big hero of mine and then I read in his forward to A Book of Poems, which is really hard to find I mean you have to order the book ordinarily... he talked about how there was a school of thinking that said that the great poets were those that had the very personal and out of the way insights and all of that and he said that he really believed that great poetry came because someone was able to see the universal things and someone was able to articulate what everyone was feeling. And I began to realize, wow that's really when I am struck by a poem is when I feel like if I had thought of that first I would have written it. Because I felt that a million times but I was never able to put it into words. Which is Tolstoy's whole thing that the only real art is folk art. And Henry Nouwen who is a great, great thinker and I think an important Christian writer talks about in his book called The Wounded Healer talks about how the job of the Christian minister is to identify the sufferings of his age in his own life and then articulate that.
Foster Braun: Do you see yourself along those lines as a Christian minister?
Rich: Well, I think if you're a Christian, saying you're a Christian minister is like saying you're a Christian Christian.
Foster Braun: Yes, redundant.
Foster Braun: You see what you're doing is more than just writing songs?
Rich: Oh, I hope.
Foster Braun: You are doing that. You are looking at those experience that are universal experiences and capturing them in phrases and - phrases both musical and lyrical - to which people can identify with?
Rich: Hopefully, yeah. That's kind of my goal, I mean that's what I want to do.
Foster Braun: We're going to take another break right now and as we do, we're going to hear some of the music that you've written called "Verge of A Miracle." Which is a beautiful song. We've had so many of your songs that have come through recently and have been so darn popular and I'm glad for them because they are better than the average bear as they say. We'll be back in just a moment - Rich Mullins is our guest on Love Talks and we'll return to our conversation with him in just a moment. Don't forget - you're welcome to joint he conversation.
["Verge of A Miracle"]
Foster Braun: I've got an electric piano sitting on the table here and Rich as a matter of fact is ...
[Rich playing Electric piano]
Foster Braun: (Laughter) Thank you Rich Mullins. They guarantee you they will not be beaten.
[Rich playing Electric piano - Mozart's Piano Sonata No 16 in C Major, K. 545 "Sonata Facile": I Allegro]
Foster Braun: (Laughter) And that ladies and gentlemen is Rich Mullins.
Foster Braun: Rich Mullins, our guest in the studio here. You're welcome to call us on the phones. We'd love to hear from you and as a matter of fact, we've got somebody on the line right now. Hello, you are on the air with Rich Mullins and Foster Braun.
Caller: Yeah. Hi Rich, this is Rick (?) I worked with you at Camp up at Rock Lake..
Caller: ... and I just wanted to let everybody know that Rich is great and he has come to camp - I don't know when the last time was, but a few years in a row and done free concerts and he's just great. The kids love him.
Foster Braun: What camp was that?
Caller: Rock Lake Christian Assembly in Vestaburg, Michigan.
Foster Braun: Rock Lake Christian Assembly....
Rich: Rock Lake Christian.. it's a great camp.
Foster Braun: I don't think I.. in Vestaburg?
Foster Braun: Where is that located?
Rich: It's right in the palm of the hand.
Foster Braun: Oh... right there in the middle of the state?
Rich: Rick, are you coming tonight?
Caller: I'm gonna try!
Rich: Well you better!
Foster Braun: You better more than try.
Caller: I have a request - Rich probably won't like to do this, but he did a song a long time ago called "Seminary Girl"
Rich: Ooooohhhhhh no, no, no, no, no, no.... I hate you! (Laughter) You know what? I forget it.
Foster Braun: Sure he does.
Rich: God has been kind.
Caller: Or "Promenade," I haven't heard that on an album either..
Rich: You know what - if you come tonight, I'll play it for you personally but I can't play it on the air.
Caller: Oh ok.
Rich: It's not registered.
Foster Braun: Thanks for calling. Now I notice, that in looking at some of your biographical material that there was a point in time - and I wanted to ask you about this because it kind of fascinated me, that you wrote "Sing Your Praise to the Lord" for Amy - Amy sang that one. And then... Debby Boone's "O Come All Ye Faithful," and Amy's "Doubly Good," and in 1983 you kind of took a sabatical. You kind of just left everything and went to become a music director up in Grand Rapids? Why what happened?
Rich: Well, I had been engaged and we broke up and I hated being in Nashville with people I didn't know because everybody felt so sorry for you, you know? It was like, 'Oh, we're so sorry.' And I was like, 'Oh, please don't give me that.' I really don't need that. What I really need is to be around people who know me a little bit better. And I had spent my summers - in fact, my drummer in my band - and I've been his camp counselor since he was in the 7th grade. So I knew a lot of people up at the church and plus at the time I was just writing and not doing a whole lot else and you become really self absorbed when you do that. I think too much inrospection is the devil's playground. The happiest I had ever been in my whole life was when I was working with other people and that sort of thing. And if there is any joy in the Christian life, it is the joy that we have from being able to hopefully bring other people into a greater understanding of things..
Foster Braun: What must it have been like to be in that church and have you as a music director? That must have been a trip!
Rich: I'm a terrible music director! (Laughter) I'm not an overly humble person. I think I'm a very good writer and I think I'm a talented musician. But I'm also very disorganized and kind of a procrastinator and a little bit of a goof off and... we had a wonderful time.
Foster Braun: The worship services must have been marvelous.. spontaneous?
Rich: Yeah.... yeah... spontaneity I thrive on.
Foster Braun: Yes! Yes, that much I kind of gathered from it. I also know that recently you took a trip to the Orient, I understand... That you went to Thailand. Tell me about that.
Rich: Uh huh. Yeah, that was amazing.
Foster Braun: What took you there in the first place?
Rich: Well, it was just a great thing.. I'm hoping to go back, you know, in about seven years. I'm going back to school and I want to end up being a missionary. Well, I don't want to end up being a missionary, what I want to do is go over there and serve for about ten years and then come back. It'd be kind of fun to come back and maybe teach in a University or something...
Foster Braun:I hear people saying, 'Rich! You'd leave all of this, all the notoriety and everything to go over there?'
Rich: Well, yeah it's not that big a deal. I think maybe if I was like Michael Jackson or somebody it would be a little more difficult.
Foster Braun:(Laughter) He'd probably draw crowds over there anyway too...
Rich: Yeah. But anyway, we got to go to Korea. Well first of all, I met this missionary from Korea and she said, 'Man, we would love to have you come over.' And I was like, 'Oh, babies, I would love to go over there.' But you know there's just not that big of a chance and she said well if you're ever in the neighborhood, here's my number and she gave me this information. Well not too long after that an Organization called Christ in Youth asked me if I would go as a sponsor on a missions trip to Thailand. And so I said, 'yeah I would love to.' Then I remembered this missionary that I had talked to and I wrote her and I said, 'hey as a matter of fact, I am going to be in the neighborhood.' They wanted me to come because they were getting ready for the Olympics. This is the wild thing about the Korean Christians was that they were going, 'what a wonderful opportunity to witness to Americans.' To the heathen Americans. And so they wanted me to come over to the seminary...
Foster Braun:(Laughter) From seeing how they behaved in the opening ceremony of the Olympics, I think they were right...
Rich: I got to spend a week in a Korean seminary teaching conversational English. Just like things like how to say 'hi,' some quirks about Americans and how we're different than Koreans and just talking about what its like to be an American and what they can expect from us and some great one-liners to use. (Laughter) ... in a Christian kind of way. That sounded bad.. wow.
Foster Braun:This wasn't like Robin Williams in Good Morning Viet Nam...
Rich: No, well we did things like when you meet a southerner (in an exaggerated southern accent) and they sound like this when they talk to you, you say, 'well, you'all come back now, ya'hear?' So it was always great because they would go, (in broken English) 'so you come back now, you hear?' It was always interesting inflections. They had trouble pulling off a southern accent, but other than that, that was really neat. And then we went to Japan and did some concerts in Japan, I had a friend that I went to school with that I got to see and that was great. Then we went to Thailand and we were two miles from the Burma border and we were working with Chinese Refugees and these people were really sad I mean they got kicked out of China when the Commies took over China, they got kicked out of Burma when the Commies took over Burma, and now they're in Thailand. A lot of them are in the employ of the opium lords. A lot of the northern Thai's - a lot of the Lisu, the Lahu and the Shan and Hmong people a lot... there's just a lot of people who are in desperate straights over there and the Church is responding in a very Christian way and they're saying why don't we help you learn how to do something other than growing opium. They don't understand anything about soil conservation.
In karma, in buddhism - the idea of karma destroys any hope for Grace. So one of the really shocking things that I saw over there was a woman that was starving to death at the feet of a gold statue and she had a baby in her arms that I think may have already been dead. And on this statue, on this idol - it was just ladened with bananas and fruits and all kinds of things to eat. Which the idol would never eat. But the people would look at that woman and say she sinned in her last life and that's why she is being punished in this life, we should not relieve her misery.
Foster Braun: Oh dear... she's working out her karma. She's going through the pains - sort of a repentence for that...
Rich: Right. Again, I think growing up, I kind of had romantic ideas of what Eastern Religion was like and you know like the eight fold path and all that stuff. A lot of it sounds very good. And I think a lot of it even makes a lot of sense. A lot of it even, you can see that it's a shadow of even what Christ was teaching. But when you see the actual workings of religious systems that are not the truth... we oppress people in the name of Christ because we pervert the Gospels. But when you see Buddhism as a system, is a very oppressive system.
Foster Braun: You said something, I want you to repeat that again. We oppress people in the name of Christ when we pervert the Gospel. What did you mean by that?
Rich: Well like the inquisition, I think is a good example. I think the Crusades was a good example. I think what has happened to the American Indians is a great example. In America, they wanted to get rid of the Indians and in order to justify the extermination policy that the United States Government came up with, they invented the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, which said it was ok for us to slaughter Indians, that it's ok for us to put bounties on Indian scalps. To pay people to kill Indian children and women, because God has ordained that we should...
Foster Braun: .. that it's our destinty to conquer this land and subdue it.
Rich: It's our destinty to conquer this land and destroy the heathen.
Foster Braun: It's almost like karma. The same kind of Buddhist thing that we have a destiny to do this thing.
Rich: Yeah, and people who would justify some of the American policies where the CIA or the United States government has supported a fascist dictator. They will justify that and say that our country is always right because we're a Christian country. Well, I have never read that in the Bible. So, there are oppressive systems that our government supports and there are people that say that it is ok for that to go on because we are Christian and I think if we were Christian, that wouldn't be going on.
Foster Braun: You look forward to becoming a missionary then someday?
Foster Braun: To putting your guitar down for a while and...
Rich: No, no, no I'll always play guitar, yeah..
Foster Braun: Oh yeah... taking your instrument with you, but you're ready to give your life for a period of time to that kind of work?
Rich: I think it would be great to be martyred. I mean I think it would be painful and I might chicken out. But, I think the world is looking for heroes, you know... I mean there is no one I would rather meet - and I have met a few people. I met a doctor - in fact, at Rock Lake Christian Assembly, the world's greatest church camp. Dr. Garland Baer who spent much of his life, after he had gone through Medical School, much of his life was spent in Burma and in Thailand working with hill people. Working with people who don't have a lot of help from anybody else. Instead of staying in America and making a lot of money or like so many foreign doctors who come to America - who leave people who are in desperate need. Americans need doctors like we need more holes in our heads. Hospital beds are full of hypocondriacs. What we need to do is heal people of hypocondria and the Medical profession will go down the drain. (Laughter) You know, people don't need to get sick. And I think I've been honestly sick a few times in my life, but I think that most...
Foster Braun: We have a lot of stress-related diseases that are the result of the way we live..
Foster Braun: As much as if you would some sort of terrible disaster that falls upon you - like a safe falling off a building on your head. A lot of the sickness that we have, I think you're right in the sense that it's self induced.. and to that extent a product of our hypocondria. But those are the real heroes - people that have touched your life and stirred it and you see a nobility in people like Dr. Garland Baer.
Rich: Yeah... who will give their lives. You know, like Jesus Christ and I mean, if I want to be like Jesus then I must be willing to give my life.
Foster Braun: I understand, in kind of your classically non-conformist ways, you moved out of Nashville..? Which has become kind of the Jerusalem of Christian music and have moved now to - what is it, Wichita, Kansas?
Rich: I have moved to Wichita yes.
Foster Braun: Why? Was that a deliberate move away from that center?
Rich: Yes, very deliberate. It was not necessarily a protest, but what I found in my own life was when I was surrounded by industry people, that it brought out the badness in me. It brought out my competitive nature, it brought out my selfishness, it brought out all of the things that I wish were not there! (Laughter) That I don't like in other people and I find completely unacceptable in myself. I had prayed for a long time that I would never fall into the traps that I saw myself falling into. And so, I think it would be better to throw away a career than to lose my soul - not that I believe I believe our salvation is dependent upon that...
Foster Braun: Let's talk about that.. do you think that Contemporary Christian music, which has become so rich in terms of the talent involved in it and the production factors and all, are we kind of in danger then of losing our soul?
Rich: I think you gain a soul by suffering, and you lose your soul in luxery. I think that everything I read that Christ taught us in the gospels indicates to me that the way that the spirit is nurtured is through accepting life head on without surrounding yourself with a lot of comforts and a lot of pillows and a lot of cushioning. I know that, there was a point last summer when I had this feeling of being completely financially broke and realizing - man, I actually had to pray that my gas tank would last me until the next concert because I didn't have a credit card on me, I didn't have anything, and I just went... this is the first time that I have really gone to Christ and said, 'help. I need Your help.' Because I had become a little bit self supporting.. self contained... I always had money in the bank, I always access to money - I was never rich, but very able to be self reliant and I think that sometimes that self reliance can really suffocate the spirit and really quench it. I think, we need to live on the edge.
Foster Braun: Is it true do you think that in some ways our success could be a real snare?
Rich: Historically, the only thing the church has not been able to withstand is its own prosperity.
Foster Braun: Yeah.. Chuck Swindol was talking the other day and saying that there are many people who can survive disaster. But very few people who can really survive..
Foster Braun: ... or cope with success.
["The Other Side of the World"]
Foster Braun: Rich Mullins singing.. what was the language that was being sung in?
Rich: Well, that was a mixture of Lisu and Northern Thai.
Foster Braun: Ok.
Rich: It is 'pray to God, pray to God. Things will be cool if you pray to God.'
Foster Braun: I love it! That's off your most recent album which is Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth, right?
Rich: Mmm hmm.
Foster Braun: And that's the one that's got a lot - it's chocked full of good stuff, like "Awesome God." Just a quick quesiton before - we have something special we want to do for you here, but I had heard that the phrase 'God wasn't joking when kicked 'em out of Eden' has caused you some problems with the record company?
Rich: Oh yeah - not my record company, my record company has been super supportive of me. But there was a company that they do most of their print stuff with objected to the line for some unknown reason. They thought that people would - I don't know what they thought. I don't think they thought.
Foster Braun:I agree with you! Somebody had mentioned that there had been a big ruckus about that line in the song and we all kind of looked at one another and said, 'why?'
Rich: Well you know whats neat? That's good to hear because you know, you look like an older person - not an elderly person, but not a young person and I think what the printers were worried about was they were saying, when you say 'when he rolls up his sleaves he ain't just puttin on the ritz,' will people - like middle aged people - cuz they wanted to do it for choir arrangements. And they said, would older people understand it? Would they appreciate it? And my thing is.. like I really object to the new hymnals that are being published where they change words. I think in fact its very nervy and irreverant for.. not that hymns are sacred, but like I remember in one of the hymns the line used to be 'Here I raise my ebenezer', and they have taken that out of the new hymnals because they say nobody knows what an ebenezer is and I think the responsibility of the church educators is to teach people what an ebenezer is.
Foster Braun: Oh yeah - I became a Christian ten years ago and didn't know any of this good stuff that you had grown up with. And when I found out what an ebenezer was, which is a rock of remembrance and where that had been in the Old Testament and how rock cairns have been set up so that when children came by and said, 'what does that mean?' That it would be precisely a moment where the father and the mothers could say here is what it means. Did you write that as a choral piece?
Rich: Yeah, as a matter of fact - I was on my way to a CIY conference in Denver, Colorado (Note: The song was actually written in July of 1987 while traveling between Tennessee and Missouri on the way to a CIY Conference in Joplin, MO.) - I mean I knew from the minute I heard the chorus for the first time... I mean it was kind of one of those things where the chorus just kind of popped out. Actually, I was thinking about the scripture where the Lord has bared his Holy arm in the sight of the nations and thinking what baring your arm meant. You know like when God tells Job, 'gird up your loins and act like a man.' Like I used to think that meant pull up your pants because I had no other frame of reference. I always thought wow that would be really.. I would never talk to God without having my pants up, I mean it's just not something that's gonna happen. Baring your arm means rolling up your sleave - getting ready to work. Like how your grandma used to pull her sleaves up before she would wash or something or do canning. And that's when I came up with the line, 'When He rolls up his sleaves he ain't just puttin on the ritz. Our God is an Awesome God, there is thunder...' You know, I just began to imagine that I was an old, black Baptist preacher and just tried to get the rhythm of... I love the way they talk in a rhythm.
Foster Braun: Rich, I gotta believe Rich Mullins believe that song is already incorporated into a lot of Church's worship services because it is such... all of us here, sing with it when it is on the air. We've had such a great time.. we've got something special though that is waiting for you right now in the hall. Would you please give us a little - we're going to sing something alright? Key of F I guess?
[Rich playing Electric Piano]
Rich: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wow, this is great!
Foster Braun: We have a cake for you..
Rich: ...and there's a dog on the cake!
Foster Braun:Yes, now hang on... now somebody has to read this. Could somebody go over there and read it? Rich, you could read it for us - what does it say?
Rich: "Full of wind, Stuffed with Cake. Happy birthday Rich." Oh that's so complimentary. (Laughter) Thank you very much! And there are little clouds on there... or...
Foster Braun: There's little clouds on there and there's a doggy - what does the doggy stand for? Is there a significance to this?
Rich: There's a dog on my album jacket. As a matter of fact, that is my own personal dog.
Foster Braun: Is it? On the cake - well, you may not want to eat him then.
Rich: I can smell the cake from here. It smells great. If I had known that, when I was starving for breakfast I wouldn't have gone to McDonalds.
Foster Braun: Well we have something much healthier and tastier for you Rich Mullins. Thank you so much and happy birthday. Congratulations. In a couple of days, right?
Rich: Uh, yeah - a couple days - October 21st.
Foster Braun: We snuck it in here a little bit early for you.
Rich: ... and you can come to my party, if you want. I'm having a big party at my house.
Foster Braun: Thank you, and where's... in Wichita?
Rich: Well, actually no - this is my house in Tennessee. You just go down to Tennesse on 65, take the first exit - that's 52 west, take that to Orlinda and turn left onto 49 and it's about an hours drive on highway 49. A beautiful drive. When you go past the Dixon county line, I'm the second house on the right.
Foster Braun: I'll look for that when I'm down... some of you who know Tennessee know exactly what he's talking about.
Rich: Bellesburg, Tennesse. Way out there.
Foster Braun: We've got about two minutes left on the program. Tennessee seems to have become another kind of a Jerusalem to which people like Mike Card lives in a cabin...
Rich: Michael Card is a great guy.
Foster Braun: Isn't he a neat guy?
Rich: He lives near Franklin. That's where the rich people live. I live in Bellsburg, that's where...
Foster Braun: The hill folk live.
Rich: The hill folk.
Foster Braun: (Laughter) Rich, thank you so much for making this program possible. It's been a good time.
Rich: I had a wonderful time. | <urn:uuid:0b3cbdd0-d99e-458c-ad78-aaa630acce43> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.audiori.net/richmullins/articles/michigan1988.html | 2023-12-07T09:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100651.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207090036-20231207120036-00671.warc.gz | en | 0.986212 | 10,347 |

Memorial Held For ‘U’ Student Found Dead In Lonsdale
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A memorial service was held Sunday afternoon for a University of Minnesota student found dead more than a week after she went missing.
Anarae Schunk, 20, was found dead Monday in a ditch near Lonsdale.
Her loved ones held a memorial at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. They said she’ll be remembered for her passion, wit and compassion.
Police believe she died at a Rosemount townhouse where she went with her ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend after they left Nina’s Grill in Burnsville two weeks ago.
Schunk’s ex-boyfriend, Shavelle Chavez-Nelson, is accused of killing 23-year-old Palagor Obang Jobi, of Savage, outside that restaurant.
Police have said Schunk’s death is related to that investigation, but is being treated separately.
Donations to help Schunk’s family are being accepted at any US Bank. | <urn:uuid:dcdf8638-ece1-4339-a736-826413b5d6eb> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/10/06/memorial-today-for-u-student-found-dead-in-lonsdale/ | 2015-08-30T14:02:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065318.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00241-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974907 | 227 |
The women's basketball team, seeded fourth, hosted #5 Oswego in the quarterfinals of the SUNYAC tournament and raced to a 65-39 win to advance to Friday's semifinals at Cortland. Geneseo raced to a 43-16 lead at halftime by shooting 56% (15-27) from the floor, 55% (6-11) from the arc and 88% (7-8) from the line, while holding the Lakers to 15% shooting from the floor and 13% from the arc. Junior Brittany Finkle led a balanced attack with 11 points on 3-7 from the floor and 5-6 from the line with five rebounds and junior Alyssa Polosky added 10 points and seven boards on 4-6 from the field and 2-4 from the arc. Junior Khadija Campbell and sophomores Bri Dunton and Katelyn Charbonneau scored nine points each with Dunton dishing a career-high 10 assists. Geneseo's starters played just 101 of the 200 minutes as the Knights built the lead to 37 in the second half at 57-20 with 13:23 to play and cleared the bench. The Blue Knights advance to 16-10 on the season and take on top-seeded Cortland (23-3) on Friday at 8 p.m. | <urn:uuid:dbc781c2-d92f-4c97-83f1-87eb780ed713> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.geneseo.edu/m/athletics/39506 | 2013-12-12T16:23:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164645800/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134405-00020-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95433 | 272 |
Morgan Hunt explores the effect of M&A on the finance function in charities
“There are around 180,000 charities registered in England & Wales and most felt the pinch when funding channels either dried up or failed to meet their contributions, to the point that many had to close their doors or re think how they would exist” says Paul Thomas, Director at Morgan Hunt.
The big squeeze on funds forced many charities to think outside the box on how they could function and fulfil their stated mission. Many charities looked to form partnerships, collaborations or mergers with other charities. This makes the finance function a lot more complex. The perception of a part-time, retirement role, now looks somewhat different where a new kind of hybrid finance director is needed for the new structure.
“We are providing consultative services to charities on re-defining the new attributes required.

Background: The United States agreed in principle on Thursday (7 February) to surrender its "sovereignty in perpetuity" over the Panama Canal.
The U.S. Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger, and the Panamanian Foreign Minister, Juan Antonio Tack, signed the eight-point agreement of principles at the Legislative Palace in Panama City.
The principles will form the basis for detailed negotiations to change a 1903 treaty under which the Panama Canal and a ten-mile (16-kilometre) zone were ceded to the United States in perpetuity.
The eight principles include setting a time limit for American control of the Canal, gradual Panamanian jurisdiction, and an increase in Canal royalties to Panama.
In his speech at the Legislative Palace, Dr. Kissinger noted that there was opposition to the new treaty in both the United States and Panama.
Many Panamanian politicians saw the agreement as falling short of the original campaign for total Panamanian sovereignty of the Canal. Several leading U.S. Congressmen have objected to any lessening of U.S. control of the Canal zone.
Once the new treaty is drafted, ratified, and signed, the United States will turn over the Canal zone to Panama but will continue to operate the installations for a period to be specified in the treaty.
The main sticking point for the negotiators of the new treaty is the duration of the present treaty. The United States wants the present treaty to last until the end of the century. But Panama wants to take over the Canal Zone much sooner. | <urn:uuid:ac38e76e-183b-4ed8-a766-8891cd5d9878> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.britishpathe.com/video/VLVA1IGCDY5KKT5GY7Q0U8E7WZRMN-PANAMA-US-SECRETARY-OF-STATE-OF-STATE-DR-HENRY-KISSINGER-AND/query/AND | 2019-05-27T03:08:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232260658.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190527025527-20190527051527-00189.warc.gz | en | 0.922992 | 410 |
After Half-Million Crossfade M-100s Sold Since Release,
V-MODA Ups the Ante with All-New Master Model,
for Music Professionals Serious About Taking Music to the Next Level
MILAN, Italy – June 18th, 2019 – V-MODA, the award-winning manufacturer of the world’s finest high-fidelity audio devices with unrivaled customization options, today announces the availability of the highly-anticipated Crossfade M-100 Master. Succeeding the iconic Crossfade M-100, which was created through a unique crowdsourced development process involving hundreds of audiophiles, journalists, producers and renowned DJs, the Crossfade M-100 Master builds on this success and raises the bar even further in sound quality, comfort and durability thanks to Roland co-engineering.
This new joint development process is testament to V-MODA and Roland’s dedication to bringing Waku Waku (Japanese for “thrill and excitement”) to musicians worldwide. For the first time, Roland engineers managed the tuning process of a V-MODA headphone throughout the different iterations to make Crossfade M-100 Master sound just as sound engineers intended. This co-engineering process emphasized a “creators first” approach and makes the new headphone a natural choice for professional DJs, producers and video streamers who want to improve their skills with an exceptional audio tool.
Next Level V-MODA Sound Quality, Hi-Res Audio Certified
To deliver the unprecedented Crossfade M-100 Master sound quality, classic yet powerful 50mm dual-diaphragm drivers have been upgraded with Japanese CCAW coil, pushing the sound quality into the ranks of Hi-Res Audio, as certified by the Japan Audio Society (JAS). This upgrade comes after years of dedicated research to develop a refined and sophisticated sound signature capable of delivering improved tone balance and accuracy throughout a vast tonal range, from the deepest bass to the sharpest highs.
Larger Cushions Enhance Sound and Comfort with Negligible Noise Leakage
The extra space afforded to the Crossfade M-100 Master via the L (Large) size memory foam ear cushions acts as a natural amplifier while the premium vegan leather cushion covers provide ultimate comfort, guaranteeing fatigue-free long listening sessions, resistance to sweat and overall durability. Together with the virtually indestructible SteelFlex headband, this key comfort upgrade, developed after fan feedback, prevents the development of pressure points so it feels like the headphones are not even there. Through innovative design and hand-selected premium materials, the Crossfade M-100 Master achieves first-class natural noise isolation, creating an immersive 3D soundstage without resorting to active noise cancellation which can pollute pure analog sound.
A Traveler’s Delight: CliqFold Mechanism and Exoskeleton Hard-Shell Case
Travel like a pro with Crossfade M-100 Master thanks to the iconic CliqFold hinge: enabling it to fold into the smallest of spaces, the dreaded question of how to fit your headphones safely and comfortably into your carry-on is officially over. Simply fold Crossfade M-100 Master into its compact travel form, place it in the premium protective Exoskeleton carry case included and either place it in your bag, backpack or luggage of choice, or clip it to the outside with the carabiner clip to maximize packing space.
There’s a Cable for Everyone
Crossfade M-100 Master comes equipped with the heavy duty SpeakEasy 1-Button Cable, complete with a built-in state-of-the-art microphone for crystal clear communication and voice recognition, and the Extended SharePlay Audio Cable. Play, mix or listen as a duo by daisy-chaining headphones thanks to the dual input and SharePlay, or play solo by connecting your preferred side and protecting the other with the V-CORK seal included.
Like all V-MODA cables, the SpeakEasy and SharePlay are detachable, built to last and reinforced with aramid fiber, contributing to Crossfade M-100 Master’s superior durability and versatility.
Moreover, you can tailor the Crossfade M-100 Master to your needs with additional V-MODA cables: add the CoilPro Cable to lock your headphones while mixing and extended listening reach on deck, or the BoomPro Microphone for crystal clear communication perfect for streaming, gaming and communication.
Customize your Headphones and Endorse Yourself

“We tend to dislike something that lies beyond our comprehension and have the urge to blame someone else for something that we cannot understand” This one liner might be the best way to express DotDesign’s conclusion on the perpetual covid-19 pandemic and its correlation with the rise of violence towards Asian-descents. The mass-shooting in the Atlanta area that left 6 Asian-descents dead saddened our hearts while the assaults directed towards Asian women and elderly across the U.S troubled our consciousness. In 2020 alone, almost 4000 cases across North America were reported by the Stop AAPI Hate reporting centre. It sparks outrage and it does deserve attention!
Violence towards Asians in America is not a crime that arises at random intervals. It has been part of the American history and tends to relapse during times of national crisis. Xenophobia and scapegoating are two underlying factors that encourage Americans to commit hate crimes towards their fellow Asian-American settlers, however, as widely-discussed on the public discourse, the primary reason we experience a tsunami of hatred towards the Asians across the globe was the association of Chinese people with the novel virus of covid-19 propagated by political leaders and the most importantly, by the former president Trump who used buzzwords, such as “Chinese virus” and “Kung Flu” to denote covid-19.
Indeed, people feel a deepening sense of despair, vulnerability and anger due to the long confinement, let alone the psychological effect of losing family members, jobs and homes. And it’s easy to buy the irresponsible rhetoric and put the blame on a certain group to make us feel better. But, there is one thing that we should not overlook. It is the fact that the Asians also experience the same loss.

The government has announced it will not bring forward proposals for a care cap in 2020, as originally set out in the Care Act.
LaingBuisson’s recent study for CCN outlined the financial impact of a cap in counties. You can download that report here.
Cllr Colin Noble, CCN’s Health & Social Care Spokesman, said:
“The County Councils Network supports the principle of capping the costs people may pay for their care. No individual should be faced with catastrophic care costs as a result of the onset of conditions which are outside of their control.
“LaingBuisson’s recent modelling for the network showed that implementing a national cap set at the £72,000 proposed in the Care Act could result in an annual cost of up to £330m for county authorities. Because the proposed cap did not take into account regional differences in the cost of care, the research revealed it could have led to a ‘postcode lottery’ on care costs. For example, someone living in the south-east would reach the cap within three years of being in a care home, whilst other areas with a lower cost of living would take double that time period to reach the cap.
“Therefore, government must outline fully-funded proposals to make a care cap work for all four corners of the country in next summer’s green paper.
“At the same time, any reforms outlined in that review will take a number of years to come to fruition. It is widely acknowledged that adult social care is in the midst of a funding crisis now, with counties predicated to face a budget shortfall of over £1bn in adult social care by 2021. This must be addressed by government through extra resource for local authorities.” | <urn:uuid:3b9fc433-5555-47fc-ad72-e38b9f4c76fa> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.countycouncilsnetwork.org.uk/governments-care-cap-announcement-ccn-responds/ | 2018-02-21T05:09:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813431.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221044156-20180221064156-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.961813 | 368 |

Having just returned home from a wonderful weekend spent in Munich, Germany, through FlorenceForFun, I have had some time to reflect on my trip. From roaming the streets of Munich to taking in the history of Dachau, this trip was definitely one for the books!
Right off the bus I could feel the excitement and anticipation of Oktoberfest in the air. Almost everyone I saw was dressed for the festival in the appropriate attire. On the trek to the biggest beer festival in the world, I saw my life flash before my eyes multiple times because bikers almost ran me over. After hearing several random German words shouted at me and bike bells, I realized I was probably doing something wrong. And I was. I didn’t know there was a bike lane only meant or bikers! It really does blend right in with the sidewalk. No wonder so many people had a mean tone towards me, I was hogging the entire path! Oops. Definitely a learning experience but PROST to making it to and from the festival in one piece
My biggest observation of Munich was how efficient it was. Everything was extremely well organized and planned out. Learning you had to push the button on the train for the doors to open to save energy made me think of how much energy my trains back home waste on opening every door at every stop. Even the room you checked your bag at Oktoberfest was well run. Usually something like this in America would be chaotic and avoided at all costs but the workers were so friendly and made sure your belongings were well taken care of! Safety and security at Oktoberfest were top priorities and it was made clear by the guards and police throughout the festival. Props to you Germany, you do things well!
Although Oktoberfest was an absolute blast, my favorite day of my weekend in Munich was Sunday. On Sunday I went to Dachau, the first concentration camp ever created. This was my favorite day because it was everything I love about travel: rewarding, eye opening and meaningful. Walking on the grounds were tragedy occurred years ago was an indescribable experience that will stay with me forever. With a heavy heart and teary eyes I made my way through the entire museum, reading everything I could on what happened at Dachau years ago. This day trip reminded me how important perspective is and to really stop and think when I feel I have it tough. Danke Dachau for an unforgettable, solemn day.
Prost to an amazing weekend in Germany, and all the people that made it happen! | <urn:uuid:dd61de2b-5291-4295-82a1-5b97685649b4> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://blog.florenceforfun.com/2016/09/26/danke-germany-for-an-unforgettable-weekend/ | 2017-12-16T20:22:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948589177.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216201436-20171216223436-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.982111 | 522 |
