If you have read all of How To Build An Escort Agency through to Part 11, you now have a good website that is showing high on the search engines and on escort directories. Escorts are signing up with you and clients are calling. A process of trial and error will show you how to sell the client on the escort and escort on taking the booking. Girls can get tired, they might not go without a driver taking them, they might not like the location, etc. It is too complicated to get into all this in a simple blog. But let me explain how things can go wrong for you as an agency, while the clients and escorts might be happy.
The first set are if you do not have your own driver to take the girls and rely on taxis or them getting themselves there. When my friends were building Marbella Beauties they made the mistake of doing just that, and they ran into a whole series of issues that took more time than making the business in terms of getting inquiries. Remember, it not a sale until you have been paid. And it is easy for people to short change you. Having your own trusted driver on the ground will deal with most of these common cons. And, I can not emphasize enough, most girls are very honest and trustworthy. But the small number who are not can cause headaches and lose you a lot of money. Remember the most important security check – when the escort arrives, have client and escort check in to confirm all is good. At the time the booking is due to end, do the same. It is not infallible, but it helps make sure everyone is safe and sound at least.
“I got rejected at the door” The escort sends a message to the agency that she has been knocked back and is going home upset. She and the client then agree a cheaper rate or longer for the same money and the agency loses out.
“I am going home to bed” this often means “I am extending the booking without telling the agency and keeping all the money for myself”
Extras- the girl can agree to extra service with the client for more money and not tell the agency. That includes staying longer or seeing their friend(s) as well without the agency getting more money.
Exchanging phones numbers. It is quite common for girls to take the clients number and vice versa. Unless you are in the room or have permission to check their phone, there is not a lot you can do if they agree to see each other later in the day / week / whatever without telling you. All you can do is stay in touch with everyone. Again, a good driver will normally spot this as the texting will begin as soon as she gets in the car.
Bringing in “their friend”. “hey babe, I have a sexy friend who loves to do threesomes with me. Shall I get her down’ It will only cost you and extra…” of which the agency sees nothing
Selling extra supplies. Some things that girls sell as extras are fine and nothing to do with you – bottles of wine, extra condoms, whatever. Though with a driver on site that could be your profit. But what if she decides to sell cocaine or MDMA and says she is selling it for the agency, or that you supplied her. I am sorry, but the only way for an escort agency to stay clear in this is to take the Nancy Reagan line. Just say no. Do not supply it to the girls. Do not supply it to the clients. Do not supply it to your driver. Do not tell clients, escorts or drivers where to get it (even if you know). This also has the added advantage of making you less interesting to drug dealers looking to “partner” with someone. And you can sleep without any fear of people in wind breakers and caps knocking at your door. | <urn:uuid:68ce0a2e-fe55-4286-a34f-ebfae0f55f25> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://ibizaharlot.es/category/security/ | 2020-08-04T02:58:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735851.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804014340-20200804044340-00400.warc.gz | en | 0.971857 | 801 |
First, I just wanted to thank everybody for reading Withywindle. It’s a fun outlet for myself. : )
A few weeks ago I was nominated by The Gregarious House for the Versatile Blogger award. A big thank you to them and be sure to check out their blog. And I’m sorry for not getting around to this until now.
What is The Versatile Blogger award you ask? Good question. The Versatile Blogger Award was created by bloggers for bloggers to support bloggers. You share seven facts about yourself and share some other blogs that you follow.
Seven things about moi? Oh dear…
1. I think I own every color Sharpie Marker that has ever been manufactured.
2. If there is a dance floor I’m probably on it.
3. I’ve done all the painting in our house with no painter’s tape and no drop-clothes. Woot woot for steady hands. Livin’ on the edge here in Renovationville.
4. If I was stranded on a desert island I would bring my Kindle (for pleasure), my hot glue gun (for survival) and the biggest bag of gummi bears you’ve ever seen in your life (for sustenance).
5. I have an abnormal affinity towards grocery stores. Our town just got a Wegman’s and I may still be more-than-slightly giddy about it.
6. I really like whales. If you found me a fanny-pack in whale-print, I just might wear it.
7. I really want to get a dog! *Fingers crossed that it won’t be too long.

West Alabama Residents to Walk for Alzheimer’s Awareness
Most of us have been affected by Alzheimer's Disease in some way, whether it be a loved one who was diagnosed or the loved one of a friend. One things for sure: watching the disease take its toll on individuals and their families is not fun!
What CAN be fun, though, is participating in events that bring awareness to the disease!
In the day of COVID-19, even awareness walks are being done differently to protect participants. The West Alabama Walk to End Alzheimer's will take place virtually on Sunday, October 18.
Participants are encouraged to register at alz.org/walk and then walk in their own communities or neighborhoods. All registered participants will receive a pack of Walk to End Alzheimer's flags to display in yards or windows and carry on Walk day.
There will be an online Opening Ceremony at 10 a.m. followed by a view-only visit of the Promise Garden at Snow Hinton Park beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Registered walkers will also receive access to Mainstage, a virtual platform that will allow participants to experience their favorite parts of Walk day, including interacting with other walkers, visiting sponsor booths and more!
These types of events not only show caregivers that they aren't alone, but they also assist in educating others to recognize some symptoms of various diseases. The following are recognized by the Alzheimer's Association as signs of the disease:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life.
- Challenges in planning or solving problems.
- Difficulty completing difficult tasks.
- Confusion with time or place.
- Trouble understanding visual and spatial relationships.
- New problems with words in speaking or writing.
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps.
- Decreased or poor judgment.
- Withdrawal from work or social activities.
- Changes in mood or personality.

FOREST ACRES, S.C. - Two suspects are at large Tuesday, after a Monday night home invasion in Forest Acres left a third suspect dead after a shootout with one of the people in the home.
Just before midnight, the three knocked on a back door of a home in 3500 block of Linbrook Drive, Forest Acres Police Chief Gene Sealy said at a news conference Tuesday.
One of six adults in the rental home at the time answered, Sealy said, and the three burst in and started firing handguns in the air, demanding money.
Another adult in the home fired at the suspects, Sealy said, and one of them was hit and died at the scene.
His identity will be released later Tuesday, Sealy said.
The other two suspects fled on foot and were last seen hopping a fence on Two Notch Road, Sealy said.
It was unclear whether the suspects and any of the six young adults in the home knew each other, Sealy said, but the chief is calling the incident random at this point.
Sealy also said it was unclear whether any gang members were involved.
We dont have any information to corroborate that now; it very well could be, Sealy said.
No one in the home was injured by gun fire, but one occupant was pistol-whipped by one of the suspects and treated at the scene, Sealy said.
Forest Acres Police are working with the Richland County Sheriffs Department, which arrived first on the scene. Law enforcement officials were at the home throughout the night following the incident.

Anti-Environmentalism is at the Heart of Modern Conspiracy Theory
According to conspiracists like Alex Jones, the so-called "globalists" (the latest term for the Illuminati) are motivated by environmentalism as much as their desire for raw power. The eco-Illuminati idea is absurd yet insidiously brilliant: by giving the Illuminati an environmental agenda, conspiracists can weave together every possible government action, down to the most inane local zoning board meeting, into a Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. Never before could someone link gun control to infill development or 9/11 to bike lanes—but anti-environmentalism makes it possible.
Firing Weapons Through Hyperspace is Way Scarier than Blowing Up Planets
JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan dropped a giant bombshell on us in The Force Awakens: the First Order can fire a weapon through hyperspace. Through hyperspace! Until now, weapons in the Star Wars universe have always operated at visual range. The Death Star was powerful, but needed to be in sight of its target. Because of that, the rebels always had time to prepare a counter attack or flee. However, a weapon that can fire through hyperspace, regardless of its destructive capacity, is the ultimate weapon of terror.
Follow the structure, formulas, and story logic of the original trilogy.
Hey Star Wars fans, didn't like the prequel trilogy? Want to write your own alternative Star Wars prequel trilogy? Go for it. It's just for fun. It's fan fiction. But how should you do it? The biggest problems with the prequels are not the wild improbabilities (Darth Vader built C3PO?), or the intense dullness of senate debates, but the many ways in which they do not make sense in light of what we learned about the Star Wars universe from episodes 4, 5, & 6. So if you want to write an alternative prequel trilogy, follow the guidelines, formulas, and story logic of the original trilogy. Here are the ground rules.
There is a divide between Fine art nature photographers & conservation photographers.
Fine art nature photography allows viewers to disappear into photographs, to imagine themselves in landscapes of rapturous beauty and momentarily forget their actual surroundings. But what if a photographer doesn't want to sell fine-art prints? What if they don’t want the viewer to escape into the photograph? What if they want the viewer to help save an endangered species, tear down a destructive Dam, or protect the Everglades from rising sea levels? What if their intended audience is poor, working-class people who do not buy fine art? I have some ideas.
There's the exposure triangle, and then there's the rhetorical triangle.
When taking a photograph, there are three factors that inform decisions about subject and composition:
1) the audience for the photo
2) the purpose for taking the photo (aka the photo’s message)
3) the medium through which the photo will be seen.
These three things form the rhetorical triangle. In the exposure triangle of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, a change in one affects the other two — each one tugs at the other. Raising the ISO, for example, either pushes the shutter speed up or pulls the aperture down in order to maintain a proper exposure. Similarly, changing one element of the rhetorical triangle will alter the other two.
There are right and wrong ways to describe a forest.
When I write about wild animals, I am speaking for them and advocating on their behalf, in the same way that my congresswoman speaks for me and advocates for me within Congress. What appears on the page should not be confused with living creatures in the wild, no more so than I should be confused with my congresswoman. In a representative democracy there are just forms of representation and unjust forms, (what political scientists call "illiberal democracy"). So too are there just and unjust forms of representation of nature within nature writing.
I propose 12 rules that affect environmental destruction regardless of place and time.
What laws or principles underlie every separate and seemingly unrelated case of environmental destruction and degradation around the globe? Activists and writers like Carol Merchant have argued for one of three fundamental causes: capitalism, Christianity, and/or the scientific revolution. These supposed causes are not only demonstrably wrong, but wildly unhelpful in our efforts to save our air, land, and water. I have a better answer.
Want to lead readers toward the inscrutable? Let them enter the story through an obvious front door.
In the introduction to his anthology 180 More Extraordinary Poems for Everyday, former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins wrote about “accessibility.” He said poems should "begin in clarity and end in mystery." Blade Runner does this, and its a lesson every fiction writer should take to heart.
Race is a social construct, but in fantasy novels it's a meaningful biological category.
Many of my students read and wrote fantasy. They grew up with the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movies so it's no surprise then that I have read many, many student stories where a young person discovers they have supernatural powers, magical abilities, or is descended from a race of magical beings -- and that last part is where things get dicey because then we need to have an uncomfortable conversation about the word "race."
No one has written an account of the art form's evolution.
I love movies, so much so that during my first two years of college, I watched all 400 films nominated to be on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies list. I decided that if they were good enough to be nominated, they were probably pretty good. These 400 movies were an incredible journey through the canon of American film.
Recently, I watched Mark Cousins' 15-part, 900-minute documentary The Story of Film, itself an incredible journey through time and around the globe. After watching it, I can't help but wish someone would write The Story of the Novel and take a similar approach as Cousins.
"Emotional truth" is not the same as "truthiness."
If we say that Tolstoy or Steinbeck's novels are "true to life," we certainly don't mean that they are factual accounts — that these authors wrote non-fiction. When someone recommends a novel because it is "genuine" or "authentic" this is not an endorsement of its factual accuracy. We know this intuitively. We're talking about emotional truth.
However, if one argues that an author should try to uncover and explore the emotional truth of a character or subject, inevitably someone will reject the argument, calling it Steven Colbert's "truthiness." After all, isn't there actual truth, which is supported by evidence? Isn't emotional truth simply what the person feels and uses to manipulate actual truth? Well, not exactly.
Good fiction is filled with triangles.
In the pilot episode of 30 Rock, NBC executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) explains the GE Trivection Oven and its “three kinds of heat” to Liz Lemon when justifying changes to her show. The gag likely spoofs something an executive said to Tina Fey, but it’s an accurate description of what is needed in storytelling. Character triangles abound in fiction and without them plots feel thin, pacing slow, or characters underdeveloped. read the entire post
Literature professors think talking about authors is wrong. They're wrong.
In a creative writing classroom, when the class discusses and analyzes a work of fiction, poetry, et cetera, often the main business of that discussion is to discover and understand the choices of the author. Why third person instead of first? Why break the line here instead of there? Why a fragmented, nonlinear structure instead of a chronological one?
Ask the same questions of a text in a literature classroom and you will be told those questions are invalid and not worth considering. You are guilty of the "intentional fallacy." Literature departments have missed one of the great lessons of twentieth century art, illustrated by Marcel Duchamp’s 1917 “Fountain”: intent of the artist is what makes something art.
Formatting choices make Heart of Darkness hard to follow, so I reformatted it.
Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is a pain in the ass to read — not because of thematic depth or dense prose — but because of the formatting. You know what I’m talking about. When you first read it in high school, you got confused and thought: Who the hell is speaking? Marlow? The narrator? Some other guy?
I wanted an edition formatted like a regular novel, where a new paragraph begins when a new person starts speaking. Such an addition did not exist, so when I went to re-read the novel recently, I reformatted it myself and made a PDF to share with everyone else.
Interpreting art is not about decoding hidden messages, but that's what many people think.
The documentary Room 237, explores different conspiracy theories surrounding Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Nine interview subjects discuss nine wildly different interpretations of the film, each of them believing they have decoded hidden messages that reveal a secret meaning. One believes the film is about the genocide of the Native Americans, another the Holocaust. One even asserts that deviations from Steven King’s novel are Kubrick’s confession that he faked the moon landing footage for NASA.
I didn’t learn a single thing about The Shining from Room 237. However, it did make me think about how some (probably many) students erroneously approach and interpret films, novels, poems, plays, and other works of art.
The South Carolina Democrat doesn't share Democratic values.
My first degree is in political science, and I’m interested in how fiction authors write about politics. An author of political fiction must ask themselves why a character holds their particular political beliefs. What is it about their background, experience, values, religion, et cetera that informs their politics? The reader or viewer may not agree with the character’s beliefs and may even have radically different politics, but nevertheless they need to be able to understand the character’s motives. Without realistic motives for their beliefs, the character becomes a caricature, a one-dimensional figure representing an abstract idea (gun control, abortion restrictions, et cetera), rather than a real human being. At the end of House of Cards season one, I’m left with a big unanswered question — why is Frank Underwood a Democrat?
Can new writers rank lit journals from "easy" to "hard?"
Let's face facts: some literary journals are out of my league. I’m not getting anything published in The Paris Review or The New Yorker any time soon. Where then, should I submit my work? Every aspiring writer faces this conundrum and our instincts tell us the solution lies with ranking journals. If only we could graph every journal along a continuum from the hardest to get published in, to the easiest. Then we could start at the bottom at work our way up, right? Well, not exactly.
An open letter to Orson Scott Card
Dear Orson Scott Card,
I collect conspiracy theories. I’m something of a conspiracy theory enthusiast enthusiast. I’m know how fifth-dimensional reptiles secretly rule the planet. I’m up to speed on how all the blacks in South Africa will take free cab rides into the cities and kill all the whites when Nelson Mandela dies. Obviously, the Sandy Hook shooting was a false flag operation staged by Obama in order to pass gun control legislation — I mean, it was so similar to the Dunblane Primary School shootings in Australia, it couldn’t have been a coincidence! But I never thought, Mr. Card, that I would find you, the Nebula and Hugo Award-winner, swimming along with me at the deep end of the crazy pool. Strangely, you don’t seem to be doing it ironically. | <urn:uuid:0f52e995-a9be-454a-b2b5-091993e65aa2> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.mikeruso.com/blog/ | 2021-09-26T12:13:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057861.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20210926114012-20210926144012-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.944311 | 2,478 |

Be Part of the Generation that Cures Alzheimer’s
Clinical trials are an essential part of Alzheimer’s disease research, and volunteers who participate in clinical trials help make advances in prevention and new treatments possible. Several NEW clinical trials are underway in Tennessee. Now you have the opportunity to take part in research that could help prevent and cure Alzheimer’s.
VRG/NOCCR in Knoxville is one of the Novartis research sites across the world that is part of the Generation Program. They are looking for individuals who are 60 to 75 years of age and currently show no signs of cognitive impairment. Do something unforgettable today and find out if you — or someone you love — could be a part of the Generation that prevents and cures Alzheimer’s!
“The previous generation is known as the greatest generation,” says Janice Wade-Whitehead, President and CEO of Alzheimer’s Tennessee. “But the baby boomers could be known as the generation that makes the greatest impact to cure Alzheimer’s, one of the most dreaded diseases of our time.”
VRG/NOCCR is housed in the UT Medical Center. Call (865)305-DRUG (3784).

Jacques Lacan's writings, and especially the seminars for which he has become famous, offer a controversial, radical reappraisal of the legacy bequeathed by Freud. This volume is based on a year's seminar in which Dr. Lacan addressed a larger, less specialized audience than ever before, among whom he could not assume familiarity with his work. For his listeners then, and for his readers, now, he wanted to "introduce a certain coherence into the major concepts on which psycho-analysis is based", namely, the unconscious, repetition, the transference, and the drive. Along the way he argues for a structural affinity between psychoanalysis and language, discusses the relation of psychoanalysis to religion, and reveals his particular stance on topics ranging from sexuality and death to alienation and repression. This book constitutes the essence of Dr. Lacan's sensibility.

During Circus week at preschool, we learned about the many different circus acts.
One of the students’ favorite activities was the tight rope walkers. They made their own tight rope or balance beam. They lined up the skinny long square blocks straight in a line. They were careful to walk on the blocks, putting one foot in front of the other. They even put their arms straight out to their sides to help with balancing.
This activity is fun and offers help in control to walk in a line, one foot right in front of the other one. Not an easy task. | <urn:uuid:2b30626f-8dad-4f4f-8cdc-d4b8d18ff935> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.brennaphillips.com/preschool-balance-beam | 2015-07-05T12:51:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097473.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00069-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981689 | 118 |
The 9th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series tagged #APERE is happening this Sunday May 28 at Eko Hotels Convention Centre and it’s got the whole of Lagos talking. In case you are still not sure if the hype is worth it, here are 6 reasons why you shouldn’t miss out on the biggest comedy show of the year.
Yaw’s unique Stage Play plot
Over the years, we have seen Yaw transform from being just a funny OAP and TV actor into a professional comedian and stage play actor. From the first edition of “Yaw Live on Stage” series, there has been a noticeable difference in his flair. His antics and delivery have become funnier and more relatable and you wouldn’t want to miss out on what he has planned out this year.
Sound Sultan in a never-before-seen fashion
The APERE buzz has gone beyond the shores of Nigeria and Sound Sultan’s feature in the stage play has raised some eyebrows but reports have revealed otherwise. It is being said that musician and actor Sound Sultan will bring something exceptional to the APERE experience. Rumour has it that after APERE, he might delve into fulltime acting.
A long list of fun-packed performances
Last year at the 8th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series ‘Shalanga’, we witnessed an unusually long eclectic list of top Nigerian musical acts such as Olamide, Burna Boy, Reminisce, Falz, Korede Bello, Patoranking, Timaya, Adekunle Gold, CDQ, Solid Star, YCEE, Seyi Shay and many others who delivered exhilarating performances at the show. The show also witnessed some of the most celebrated A-list comedians grace the stage to throw the audience into gales of laughter.
This year promises to be way better; more music artistes and the top guns of the comedy industry have been lined up to perform and of course you wouldn’t want to miss the highlight of the evening the stage play titled “APERE” featuring Yaw and Sound Sultan.
Another nostalgic journey down memory lane
Ask those who were present for Shalanga, they’ll tell you how much they enjoyed reminiscing on their favorite pastimes. Hilarious clips from cartoon shows like Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, SuperTed were displayed on a huge screen and they had the audience cheering and reliving old memories.
The APERE experience is not going to be any different this year. Inside sources reveal a lot more throwback videos of shows and TV series from the 80’s and 90’s have been gathered to entertain and prickle guests with feelings of nostalgia. There’s nothing better than a good old fashioned journey through a memory lane.
Perfect get-away from the harsh reality of Nigeria’s current economic state
It’s no news that Nigeria has been going through a tough economic situation for a while now. The environment is even harsher than it was last year when the previous edition of Yaw’s stage play series ‘Shalanga’ was held. However, APERE offers the perfect get-away from the current situation of the country as one of the major themes of the upcoming show is satirical humor, which is not only relatively relatable, but also gives the audience a less embittering view of the country’s current state .
Moreover, Yaw’s stage plays are quite known for touching several thought-provoking topics in Nigeria, including political matters, industry feuds, trending social media topics, among others, effortlessly evoking humor from every scene.
Surprise / Rare Guest performances
One thing that’s guaranteed fans will witness at APERE is a number of surprise guest appearances and performances by totally unexpected artistes. Shalanga saw some of the rarest performances from artists who were popular in their prime but have remained low in today’s mainstream music, including popular reggae artist Baba Fryo, Danfo Drivers amongst others. APERE won’t be any short of this as inside sources report more singers in this category have been reached to thrill the audience with their rare performance(s).
Fans who grew up in the 80’s & 90’s will definitely enjoy every minute of this rare feat.
With all of these being said; APERE will be another remarkable event in the history of stage play as we know it in Nigeria. Several elements are infused into the upcoming stage play, which will not only serve as an eye-opener on various intricate matters but also serve as an avenue for attendees to introspect, considering the morality of we Nigerians is heavily addressed.

Accountability is at the core of what most organizations come to understand is affecting their results and hurting their culture. CEO’s of organizations see this, know this and want to change it, so why is so hard to get it done?
The simple answer is people and the inconsistencies that come with human nature and interpreting expectations. We find reasons to justify or rationalize all our actions or inaction. We will blame anything we can to find for why the expectations were not realistic or unattainable. When we do this, we are operating from the victim side of the Accountability Stairs. The Accountability Stairs are a format created for use by The Growth Factory to visually explain the spectrum of employee actions or lack of around accountability. When we move up the stairs, we are moving towards a higher performance level and success for not just ourselves but the organization as well.
The Accountability stairs define eight levels of actions broken into two halves. The lower four stairs are the victim side that covers a total lack of awareness, blaming others, and all forms of excuses. The other half is the accountable side that starts with personal accountability and builds to a team and a total culture of accountability. We strived to get every employee to the accountable side and focused on individual accountability of their actions to meet the expectations of their role and responsibilities.
So how do we do that? Here are some foundation steps to build better accountability.
1. Create a culture of Accountability
2. Define clear responsibilities and measurements
3. Consistent management
4. Addressing team members not performing to expectations
Create a culture of accountability
It is up to the leadership team to create a culture that makes accountability a key tenant and value. Doing this allows employees a clear understanding of expectations and everyone who works at the organization. Clear expectations allow for consistency and fairness across all departments. Employees will perform to a higher level when they know all employees are expected to meet their measurements to deliver the organizations results.
Define clear responsibilities and measurements
Every employee from top to bottom needs to have clarity of responsibilities and expectations. The clarity needs to include measures and metrics, so the employee has no confusion on what they are being asked to do to be successful. Not doing this is the most common breakdown with organizations. They give vague job descriptions/expectations to employees that lead to confusion and interpretations that can vary by each employee and manager. Organizations that want high accountability need to teach each team how to set clear goals and metrics for the team to accomplish.
Consistent management is usually the most challenging step across most organizations accountability. Simply because we have many managers in our organizations with various personalities and beliefs of what is right or wrong. Remove the decision of how to apply rules from each manager. Instead, it should be an overall set of metrics that everyone sees and understands so not implementing those expectations equally across the organization will be seen by all. That removes the choice of application and accountability from the manager and creates public awareness of the measurement and behavior.
Addressing team members not performing to expectations
We must discuss and enforce consequences if employees are unable to meet expectations for their role. Our jobs are a two-way street where we need to know our expectations and perform to them. If training and coaching yield no performance change, then our job may need to be in jeopardy. Not taking on lack of performance creates a domino effect that will deteriorate the overall success of the organization by demoralizing productive employees.
It does not sound that hard when written in a few words, but the application of accountability is still a top challenge for most organizations today. I work with CEO’s and leaders every day that are trying to improve their performance through better accountability. I hope that you can use the foundation steps to bring stronger accountability to your organization.

Whether you’re an investor, a broker, or have other plans, the real estate industry offers a plethora of ways to make money. There will be a learning curve and there will likely be bumps in the road, but research can help you get started on the right foot. This post will go over some of the different types of real estate property that you can work with.
Industrial Real Estate
Industrial real estate is one of the most lucrative avenues you can take. There are a few different types of industrial properties that you can work with. Office buildings are perfect if you want to make a lot of money quickly. They’re easy to sell and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as office space, retail space, or a factory. Manufacturing plants are great if you want to work with entrepreneurs or if you’re an entrepreneur yourself. These facilities offer high-quality space and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as manufacturing or storing products.
Agricultural Real Estate
If you’re a farmer or know a lot about the farming industry, agricultural real estate might be your best bet. This type of real estate can be a profitable investment depending on the market conditions at the time you make your purchase. The agricultural industry has produced a significant amount of wealth for the United States over time. Business leaders such as Stefan Soloviev have found much success investing in farmland and ranchland. However, there are a number of risks you should look out for, such as weather conditions driving a property’s value down.
Residential Real Estate
Residential property is a great way to make money. There are many people who are looking for a living space to buy or rent, and there are many types of property you can make money off of. Townhomes or apartments may be great options if you’re operating in a college town, while houses can be lucrative in areas with a lot of families. With residential property, you should pay extra attention to location and living conditions. You should ask yourself if you would enjoy residing in that particular building, and what things you think could use some fixing.
As you can see, real estate is incredibly diverse and you have a wide range of options on the table. With a solid plan and a thorough understanding of your market, you can find success. | <urn:uuid:7052b2eb-bfb5-49da-ba80-9c3d660893c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://modcanyon.com/types-of-real-estate-you-can-profit-off-of/ | 2023-12-06T05:13:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100583.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206031946-20231206061946-00750.warc.gz | en | 0.957393 | 479 |

POCatHewlett, with POC standing for people of color, has begun adding its voice to the growing sentiment that there must be an end to racial inequality. Calling themselves a team and spearheaded by two young women, POCatHewlett has a petition on actionnetwork.org and created a list of demands that they would like the Hewlett-Woodmere School District and Board of Education to address.
The group first appeared on social media, on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, with a collection of statements from Hewlett High School students and alums describing incidents of racism that happened to them in and out of school.
One of the high school student Instagram statements read: “Two years ago, I was in eighth grade. Me and my friends were talking to each other on the tennis court waiting for lunch to end when a group of ‘popular’ white kids decided to make fun of us. One in particular decided to call us monkeys.”
Another class of 2023 student posted on Instagram: “I was sitting at a table in [the] Pizza Place during lunch. A student made racist jokes toward me. When I decided to defend myself, the people I was with called my ghetto and said to just leave it alone. They claimed it wasn’t that big of deal. I have chosen to distance myself from such people since then.”
“It was established with the current movement of Black Lives Matter and the major protests, especially here on Long Island after the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery,” said Sana Ansari, 25, who graduated Hewlett in 2013 and is now attending Vermont Law School and interning with the American Civil Liberties Union this summer. “We are upset, want to speak up in Hewlett see change in our community,” she added.
The group is calling on the school district to work on its mission to give its students every opportunity to achieve their full potential. “We call on the Hewlett-Woodmere Board of Education to acknowledge that this mission cannot be realized without actively combating systemic racism in and out of the classroom, spearheading anti-racist, inclusive policies, and without listening to the voices of minority students,” POCatHewlett wrote.
“It was the whole Black Lives Matter movement and something that is long overdue,” said Sophia Pesantez, 18, who just graduated Hewlett High. “There is a lot of racism people of color face that doesn’t go noticed by the administration.”
POCatHewlett listed 11 “demands” that the group would like to see the district’s board consider, including using money from the $126.88 million school budget to “fund racial justice, academic initiatives for the 2020-21 school year and onwards.”
Hewlett-Woodmere School District Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. issued a statement in response to the Herald's inquiry: "The Board of Education and administration of Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools are aware of the Instagram accounts and petition circulating among the community," he stated. " It is vital that if any individual has specific knowledge of a law or policy that has been violated, he or she should immediately bring it to the attention of the appropriate district or building administrators."
At Wednesday's trustee meeting newly installed board President Debra Sheinin read the last sentence of Marino's statement, then added. "We are here for the safety of the children and that if of the utmost of importance that we cover that. As for some of the other statements that there are being made on the petition, school board members are elected officials from the community, so anyone can try to run for election and have the support of the community. The board will discuss the other item and that is that at this time."

What goes on in Poland on the 16th of May.
There is no dispute over Baltic Pipe. Route in June
During the European Economic Congress 2018, the government plenipotentiary for strategic energy infrastructure Piotr Naimski informed journalists that the territorial dispute between Poland and Denmark had been resolved, and the route of Baltic Pipe will be determined in June.
– The gray zone problem does not exist. This has been resolved – assured the minister.
He added that the gas pipeline project from Norway, through Denmark, to Poland has all the licenses for geophysical and geotechnical research in Sweden, Denmark and Germany. – Everything is going according to the schedule – added a representative of the government. After recent geophysical and geotechnical investigations it will be possible to set a route, which according to the minister will take place in June. After the last tests have been made, the route will be finally selected.
The Baltic Pipe project envisages the construction of a gas pipeline from gas fields in Norway to Poland with an annual throughput of 10 billion cubic meters. It would be created by October 2022.
PGNiG looks at the “virtual gas pipelines” of LNG from the USA. Will it enter the field?
During the European Economic Congress 2018 in Katowice, Fred Hutchinson, president of LNG Allies, said that although Poland is not the largest market for American LNG, it remains in the orbit of interest of American companies.
– We are now at the point where, if we do not expand the LNG infrastructure, global prices of this raw material will rapidly increase through the continuous increase in demand. In the USA, in contrast to Qatar, Australia, Iran or Russia, you can reserve volumes, in fact creating something like “virtual LNG gas pipelines”. Gaz-System and PGNiG are watching this – he said.
According to BiznesAlert.pl, PGNiG is considering acquiring natural gas in the USA. This would allow cheaper to obtain the raw material, and thus lower the price of imported liquefied gas. Thanks to this, PGNiG could develop global trade in liquefied gas and compete its price on the European market. | <urn:uuid:4c86c402-4f27-4040-b6f4-92d8e5fcf7f0> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://biznesalert.com/polish-briefing-there-is-no-dispute-over-baltic-pipe-route-in-june/ | 2019-06-25T17:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625172832-20190625194832-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.937335 | 459 |
Comparative analysis of extra-ventricular mitoses at early stages of cortical development in rat and human.
Carney RSE., Bystron I., López-Bendito G., Molnár Z.
Embryonic germinal zones of the dorsal and ventral telencephalon generate cortical neurons during the final week of gestation in rodent and during several months in human. Whereas the vast majority of cortical interneurons originate from the ventral telencephalon, excitatory neurons are locally generated within the germinal zone of the dorsal telencephalon, the future cerebral cortex, itself. However, a number of studies have described proliferating cells external to the ventricular and subventricular germinal zones in the developing dorsal telencephalon. In this study, we performed a comprehensive cell density analysis of such 'extra-ventricular proliferating cells' (EVPCs) during corticogenesis in rat and human using a mitotic marker anti-phospho-histone H3. Subsequently, we performed double-labelling studies with other mitotic and cell type specific markers to undertake phenotypic characterisation of EVPCs. Our findings show: (1) the densities of extra-ventricular H3-positive (H3+) cells were surprisingly similar in preplate stage rat and human; (2) extra-ventricular proliferation continues during mid-and late corticogenesis in rat and in early fetal human cortex; and (3) extra-ventricular cells appear to be mitotic precursors as they are not immunoreactive for a panel of early post-mitotic and cell type-specific markers, although (4) a subset of EVPCs are proliferating microglia. These data suggest that some aspects of early corticogenesis are conserved between rodent and human despite marked differences in the duration of neurogenesis and the anatomical organisation of the developing cerebral cortex. | <urn:uuid:45ff1878-19c2-4e13-9ca9-5f9331d724c4> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.neuroscience.ox.ac.uk/publications/113784 | 2022-05-24T00:43:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662562106.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220523224456-20220524014456-00148.warc.gz | en | 0.877969 | 402 |

|Birth name||Rudi Schwamborn|
|Born||20 May 1986|

Carlprit (born 20 May 1986) is a Zimbabwean rapper, actor, songwriter and music manager. He has performed and written for acts such as Cascada, Alexandra Stan and Laurent Wolf. He is best known for his song "Fiesta" as well as his appearance in Cascada's 2009 hit single "Evacuate the Dancefloor". The title sold over three million copies worldwide and reached the top 20 on Billboard charts, making Carlprit the first person of Zimbabwean origin to have a song on the top U.S. Billboard charts.
Carlprit was born in Avenues, Harare, to a Zimbabwean mother and German father. He grew up at 20 Tom Ward Ave., Cotswold Hills, Mabelreign, Harare. He attended North Park Primary School and Ellis Robins Boys' High School before leaving Harare to live with one of his older brothers in Germany. The youngest of five siblings, Carlprit is the younger brother of rapper Metaphysics of Söhne Mannheims .
Carlprit first started releasing records in early 2000 after moving to Germany. In 2003, he appeared on his brother's record [The Universe], from the album Digital Garden. After that, he released numerous unofficial mix tape remixes throughout his neighborhood, but was unable to receive any real recognition due to the language barrier that he faced in Germany. Drawing on his older brother's dealings with multi-platinum German band [Söhne Mannheim's], Carlprit tried to set up his own Hustlers Academy imprint in 2006 with entrepreneur and friend, Dahoud Faron. The label soon broke apart due to creative differences. Without a label and unable to get signed, Carlprit performed club hosting appearances and created YouTube releases as a way of gaining recognition. It was during this time that he met [Tarantado], an up-and-coming rapper from Wuppertal, DedeBeat|DEDE, who later produced and recorded most of Carlprit's first solo mix tape,[Hustlers Academy].
International success with Cascada (2009)
Evacuate the Dancefloor was Schwamborn's first performance with a major label

In 2009 Carlprit went under the management of his older brother Metaphysics, from the band [Söhne Mannheim's]. Carlprit was then presented to ZooLand Records. Zooland producer Yann Peifer recognized his potential and offered to try him out on a new project they were working on. Three weeks later, "[Evacuate the Dance floor (song)|Evacuate the Dance floor]" was produced with Carlprit featuring in the music video, which was filmed in [Los Angeles]. The song was then released in June 2009, where it topped charts internationally the song went platinum in the U.S., and reached number one in the UK and the Netherlands.
Solo work and collaborations (present)
Solo work Carlprit released his first official single "See you @ the top", in 2010. The song features the U.K brother duo Bkay and kazz. The song was released independently on Gandanga Records and Pyramid Music. It was featured on the hit German television show Model WG and reached first position in South Africa on the Channel Os request show. In 2011, Zooland and Universal records released Carlprit's second solo single, "1234". The video was directed by Dany Wild and featured Miss Victoria Kern as the female vocalist. His third solo single, "Fiesta," was widely considered his most successful, reaching number one in the French air play charts, the top 100 in Germany, France and Switzerland's single sales charts and over 5 million YouTube views. Fiesta was produced by Michael Mind Project and Markus Shultz and features vocals recorded and written by CVB. After the success of Fiesta, Carlprit dropped his next solo single, "Here We Go" in early 2013 and "Party Round the World", which was to be released on 8 November 2013.
Collaborations Carlprit has worked[clarification needed] with top acts including Mike Candys (djmag's 67th best DJ in the world in 2013), Michael Mind Project, Alexandra Stan, Laurent Wolf, Darius and Finlay, Shaun Baker, R.I.O, U-Jean, Ian Carey, Victoria Kern, the Bodybangers, Modana, DJ Sasha Dith, DJ Manian, Whigfield, Tony T, Yanou, Italobrothers and the band Irresistible.

Big Trees, Inc. Rounds Out Their Fall Line-Up Of New Arrivals Into Their Nursery
SEATTLE, WA: Located just south of the town of Snohomish, 30 minutes north of downtown Seattle, is the Big Trees, Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com/) nursery. They are announcing the latest arrivals to their line-up of trees available to be transplanted this coming Fall/Winter. A list of the nursery’s current available inventory roster can be found at http://bigtreesupply.com/sales-inventory/nursery-trees-inventory/
Three new ornamental arrivals have joined the Big Trees, Inc. nursery:
Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum): The Paperbark Maple is widely grown as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. It is admired for its decorative, rust colored exfoliating bark, translucent pieces of which often stay attached to the branches until worn away. It also has spectacular autumn foliage which can include red, orange and pink tones.
Dogwoods (Cornus): Dogwoods are widely planted horticulturally for their ornamental values, and the dense wood of the larger-stemmed species is valued for certain specialized purposes. Their flowers can be flat petals of color in mid-spring from white, creamy white and pink. Dogwoods have simple, untoothed leaves with the veins curving distinctively as they approach the leaf margins. Their small size provides a variety of uses in the landscape, and their appeal extends throughout the year.
Stewartia: An excellent medium-sized tree for all-seasons appeal. Often multi-trunked or low-branching, it has white flowers, similar to Camellia but smaller in scale, which appear in early summer. Its deep green leaves turn blazing red, yellow and purple in the fall. Beautiful exfoliating bark in shades of orange and gray becomes more pronounced as the tree matures.
According to Ross Latham, founder of the company: “These trees would be an excellent addition to most landscapes, and the timing is perfect because when these trees are dormant, in the fall and winter, is the best time to plant them. You should consult a tree transplanting specialist before attempting to plant one.”
Ross Latham is the owner of Big Trees Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com), located in Snohomish, WA, in the Seattle area. The company is one of the largest tree nurseries in the Seattle area with over 120,000 trees available in over 300 varieties. They not only can deliver young trees but also mature trees in a wide range of sizes. Some types of trees available include spring flowering, deciduous, evergreen, and privacy trees. The company also does tree transplanting including up to large trees.

We prevent incidents and prevent injuries … but if an injury does occur, we do what we can to support the injured worker and prevent further harm.
We know that a poor response to a report of injury sets the scene for a problem claim, whereas consistent, positive responses and a clear pathway for return to work provide a firm foundation for recovery.
In the Incidents section, you will find:
- an overview of incident management, including
- an incident flow chart
- description of internal and external reporting requirements
- incident investigation, corrective action, and information analysis
- the first steps in the claims process
- samples and resources associated with:
- incident / injury notification, including a sample incident form
- incident investigation
- an information pack for injured workers
- resolving problems about workers compensation
The employer, the employee and the insurer each have certain responsibilities in relation to injury management.
Incidents - Flow Chart
We take action to prevent harm when we are aware of a hazard or incident, and make notifications as needed.
What needs to be reported to the employer?
Identify and record all WHS incidents …. whether or not these cause injury or damage
- All hazards (anything that has the potential to cause ill health or injury)
- All near-misses (events that do not cause injury but have potential to do so)
- All minor incidents (events that cause a minor injury of a first aid nature)
- All injuries (events that cause an illness or injury requiring medical attention)
How can incidents be reported to the employer?
Formal methods may include:
- verbally to the line manager
- via an Incident Form which enables reporting of incidents,hazards and near misses - or via separate forms for each
- register of injuries (see below)
Informal methods may also be considered to be a type of reporting.
- for example, if a supervisor overhears a conversation by workers about a hazard or near miss that has not otherwise been reported, that supervisor may treat it as an informal report, and ask staff to complete the appropriate form.
Register of Injuries
The injury register must include the following:
(a) name of the injured worker
(b) the worker's address
(c) the worker's age at the time of injury
(d) the worker's occupation at the time of injury
(e) the industry in which the worker was engaged at the time of injury
(f) the nature of the injury
(g) the cause of the injury.
(Drawn from WorkCover Reporting an Incident or Injury)
Take action to prevent further harm by:
- investigating what contributed to the incident and
- taking corrective action
We conduct thorough investigations to learn the root causes of the incident, take immediate action to minimise harm, and look for ways to improve processes to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
- Incident/Near miss investigation form - template
- WorkCover NSW investigations - What they mean to you: Factsheet
3.1.5: Reviewing information about Incidents (hazards, near-misses, minor incidents & injury / illness)
What sort of information should be analysed?
Examples of incident information to be analysed may include:
- Who was involved
- What happened (or nearly happened) and Why (cause)
- Where and when it occurred
- Equipment involved
- Corrective action
- Impact (eg hazard, near miss, minor incident).
In addition, sick leave data, climate, and staff health status (eg via survey) may also be included in some analyses.
The analysis may reveal trends such as:
- A number of staff experiencing the same minor, emerging injury (may indicate ergonomic issues)
- Timing and/or equipment patterns
- The same corrective action being repeated (may indicate a system/process issue)
We analyse incident information monthly and report it to the
senior management meeting. We incorporate information from
analyses into the risk management system.

Wales defeated Samoa in two test matches in Cardiff, to win the Wendy White Series.
Wales 72 – 46 Samoa
The first game of the series took place on Tuesday (5th) and was the first meeting between the sides on Welsh soil. Samoa made the trip from Scotland where they had played two matches over the weekend.
Samoa did take the early lead in the first quarter, but the home side responded with a flurry of goals courtesy of shooter Georgia Rowe. The first quarter finished 17-10. The second quarter had a similar pattern, with both sides exchanging goals. The Welsh yet again peeled off before half time and went into the break leading 34-21.
Eleanor Roberts made her Wales debut in the second half, and added to Wales’s tally. The third quarter finished 56-34 and both head coaches made multiple changes in the final quarter. Wales saw out the win, 72-46.
Match Officials (Umpires) – Jackie Mizon, Ian Fuller, Louise Travis
Wales 71 – 45 Samoa
Match number two took place two nights later and almost threw up an identical scoreline to the first match. The first quarter started with both sides matching each other in the final third but finished 18-11 to Wales.
The Welsh went on to further extend their goal tally by 20 goals in the second quarter, and they took a 38-24 lead into half time. Wales started the third quarter well once again, and kept increasing the margin. The margin proved to be too much for Samoa and Wales saw out the victory to win the Wendy White Series 2-0.

Interview with Jacques Richard, Associate Professor at Texas A&M University
Updated: Sep 4, 2021
Could you tell us about who you are?
I am a person who likes developing an understanding of how the physics of many things around us work to better develop engineering mechanisms to improve or generate solutions/devices for all. That also includes my interest in engineering education research: getting a better understanding of how engineering education is making engineers out of engineering students. My research has uncovered how plasmas are controlled by electromagnetic fields for propulsion and flow control. My research has uncovered how effective communication, teamwork, networking, etc., can enable enhanced effective learning.
Why did you want to become an aerospace engineer?
I liked flying vehicles & wanted to be part of their design & not just use them to go many places, etc.
How does an ion thruster work?
An electric field is set up between 2 porous grids of opposite charges or different voltages. The field accelerates ions (plasma exhaust stream) through the porous grids w/ high enough speeds such that it imparts a momentum to the vehicle on which the thruster is mounted in the direction opposite to the exhaust stream. An electron beam near the exit of the thruster, on the outside, is sent to the ion/plasma exhaust stream to neutralize the ions so that they are not attracted back to the thruster which would result no net thrust.
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of an ion thruster?
Extremely high exhaust velocities (10’s of km/s, 10 times space shuttle main engines (SSME) exhaust gas speed) means that the propellant is not used up as fast. The thrust is low for a plasma density lower than SSME (similar to even SpaceX rockets) but the propellant is not used up as fast. Chemical rockets like SSME or the like use up propellant w/in minutes whereas ion thrusters can run for 10,000+ hours. That long run time in space (far from planetary atmospheric drag) means that they can attain enough speed to go farther than many chemical propulsion systems could.
Can you explain your study about plasma jets in magnetic fields?
I apply conservation of linear momentum principles (Newton’s Laws) to charged particles in an electromagnetic field generated by a current-eating wire coil surrounding the plasma stream to accelerate it to the aforementioned high velocities. This is in lieu of electric grids in ion thrusters but still called electric propulsion (EP) as I guess it is electromagnetic in nature & uses a lot of electricity.
What is the goal in studying the interaction between atmospheric and ocean waves?
The waves can transmit through different media (water, ground, etc.) & enable seismic detectors to register their presence. This can help provide info about what could cause the waves & how to prepare for destructive waves (earthquakes, tsunamis, bomb lasts, etc.).
What are the Lattice-Boltzmann methods?
Model media (fluid, plasma) as microscopic or sub-microscopic (e.g., meso-scopic) lattices (Cartesian grid cells) on which to solve a linearized form of Boltzmann’s equations for the statistical distribution of particles & their velocities in each lattice & enable computing the effects of the average momentum & energy of particles (e.g., thrust)
What are Spectral element methods?
Discretizing or decomposing a domain being modeled on the computer (e.g., chunks of an engine) into microscopic discrete elements (or lattices or cells) & applying a linear combination or sums of different types of spectral functions (e.g., Fourier spectral would be sines & cosines) to approximate the variations in key properties. E.g., velocity as such a combination & then numerically solve for the coefficients in the sums of combinations of spectral functions that give the best describe the physical system response subject to the conservation principles and system geometry.
What has been your toughest accomplishment so far in your career?
I am still researching a lot that I want to understand & happy to be able to contribute to the general body of knowledge but I wish I had more time & other resources to get more done.
To highschoolers like me and to younger generations that want to become aerospace engineers, what would be your advice to be successful in this career?
Most of your work will be in written form so practice a lot of writing. The science, math, engineering, tech has to be done right but also has to be clearly explained to make meaningful contribution to the body of knowledge & to be sure that many people properly understand them. | <urn:uuid:17eb65f5-9fff-45e2-bf06-943d1fb318d9> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.sky-talks.com/post/interview-with-jacques-richard-associate-professor-at-texas-a-m-university | 2023-02-06T11:51:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500339.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206113934-20230206143934-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.936955 | 967 |
Hello friends!! I have some exciting news to share with you today. I have been struggling to get into a productive rhythm with my blogging since quitting my full-time job back in October. I am now juggling a LOT of different things and I have not had as much time to focus on the blog. But I am working on putting a plan in motion to be more consistent and I have lots of ideas for upcoming blog posts.
Nutrition Coaching News
The main thing I want to share with you is that I have started my own Nutrition Coaching practice. You’ll now see a link titled “Nutrition Coaching” in the menu bar of this blog or if you’re on mobile, you can find it on the dropdown menu.
My website is JillMerkelRD.com and my business is Nutrition for Endurance: Overall Health and Athletic Performance. My specialities are sports performance nutrition and weight management. I see clients virtually (via phone, email, and video chat) or in person in the Nashville area. So if you are looking for guidance with making some healthy changes this new year, please contact me!
In other news, I am in the midst of half marathon training. Technically, I am on Week 5 of an 8 week training schedule for the upcoming Hot Chocolate 15k in Nashville.
I say “technically” because I was sick last week and missed almost an entire week of training! Ugh, I hate when that happens. But hopefully it didn’t set me back too far.
The Hot Chocolate 15k fell perfect with my Little Rock half marathon training schedule as well.
Both of these upcoming races have pretty awesome medals so I am excited to add some more running bling to my collection!
I have also joined some running groups here in Nashville and I am trying to be more active in the running community.
- Team Beef – Through some RD connections, I was invited to join Team Beef to participate in running races around the Nashville area.
- East Nasty Running Club – This is an awesome group with so many runners! They are promoting fitness and fun. They provide free group runs and I just started with their free half marathon training program to prepare for the Nashville Rock n Roll half marathon in April.
That’s all I have for now! Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend! | <urn:uuid:20c57628-7de9-4c7e-a88b-910a2731b9aa> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://runeatsnap.com/exciting-news/ | 2017-08-23T17:41:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886123312.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823171414-20170823191414-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.955715 | 487 |
Guess whose mistake it was? Then New York Fed President Timothy Geithner.
For some background on this payouts, read The Real Screw Job: AIG used as a Funnel of U.S. Taxpayer money.
Here's the money quote from the SIGTARP report, right in the summary:
- The original terms of federal assistance to AIG, including the high interest rate it adopted from the private bank’s initial term sheet, inadequately addressed AIG’s long term liquidity concerns, thus requiring further Government support.
- FRBNY’s negotiating strategy to pursue concessions from counterparties offered little opportunity for success, even in light of the willingness of one counterparty to agree to concessions.
- The structure and effect of FRBNY’s assistance to AIG, both initially through loans to AIG, and through asset purchases in connection with Maiden Lane III effectively transferred tens of billions of dollars of cash from the Government to AIG’s counterparties, even though senior policy makers contend that assistance to AIG’s counterparties was not a relevant consideration in fashioning the assistance to AIG.
- While FRBNY may eventually be made whole on its loan to Maiden Lane III, it is difficult to assess the true costs of the Federal Reserve’s actions until there is more clarity as to AIG’s ability to repay all of its assistance from the Government.
Fellow bloggers, it sure doesn't feel good to be so right. Yes, AIG was used as a funnel of U.S. taxpayer money on glorified gambling bets as noted in the Screw Job post.
Even more amazing, as the crisis unfolded, the New York Fed did not do it's own due diligence on AIG, instead relied on an analysis previously performed by JPMorgan Chase (which Chase decided against due to the overall crisis and capital preservation).
FRBNY did not develop a contingency plan in the event that the private financing did not go through and did not conduct an independent analysis regarding the appropriate terms for Government assistance to AIG; instead it used in substantial part the economic terms of the private sector deal, albeit for $85 billion instead of the $75 billion prepared by JPMorgan Chase for the unsuccessful private sector solution.
SIGTARP went after the ultimate question, why were payouts by AIG made at par, or 100%?
Some interesting notes:
Then-FRBNY President Geithner and the FRBNY General Counsel told SIGTARP that the financial condition of the counterparties was not a relevant factor in the decision to create Maiden Lane III and pay counterparties effectively at par.
This is a shocking statement! With taxpayer money, Tim Giethner did not even consider the reality these counterparties could indeed take a major reduction in payout and not be affected substantially.
One of the biggest reasons they paid out at 100% was the fact counterparties knew the government had already rescued AIG.
It's also fairly clear from the report, if AIG had been allowed to go into bankruptcy, the taxpayer would have been way better off.
A bankruptcy possibility would have left strong room for negotiation with counterparties.
Even more astounding was UBS offered a 2% discount from full value and Geithner ignored this because all counterparties should be treated equally.
I mean some of Geither's reasoning is absurd. Treat foreign banks the same as U.S. banks, oops, it's unethical to use one's regulatory status to pressure counterparties to take a hair cut?
My God! We saw Hank Paulson completely intimidate 9 banks into taking TARP funds. They couldn't use some tactics to not pay out CDSes at 100%, which also were way above market value at that time?
They are the Federal Reserve! Supposedly we have this massive financial Armageddon and they are playing
patsy nice and worrying about ethics? How about the ethics of dumping a massive bail out onto the unsuspecting taxpayer?
Even more astounding, AIG still has $34.3 Billion in credit default swap exposure related to CDOs.
Chief Risk Officer and AIGFP’s CEO, AIGFP expects that the majority of its remaining credit default swap contracts will be unwound over the next several years. However, in recent SEC filings, AIG warned that, if credit markets continue to worsen, AIG could be exposed to these risks for a significantly longer period of time and experience additional losses.
One thing SIGTARP notes is how the possibility of a down grade by credit ratings agencies influenced the New York Fed Reserve in their decision making.
When reading this report I could not help but believe they should have let AIG go into bankruptcy. We'll never know if letting AIG go into bankruptcy would truly have caused the catastrophe as claimed.
GM did and obviously the world did not end.
While discussions go on and on about financial collapse and loss of jobs and so forth....what do we have today? Well, Wall Street is happy, banks are fat with taxpayer dough and we have ...loss of jobs and also a massive deficit.
You know what else we still have? Billions in credit default swaps.
I highly recommend reading the entire report. If you have been following this beyond belief debacle called the AIG bail out, the report reads like a Stephen King novel of absurdity, stupidity and horror show. | <urn:uuid:1e330874-5a47-4def-b26b-f705e4e12dd1> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.economicpopulist.org/content/sigtarp-aig | 2016-07-30T22:35:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258943369.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072903-00296-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964355 | 1,114 |
Alexander Payne is at it again, creating yet another seriocomic film where humanity is laid bare in all its grit and glory. He takes his time in between films. But like About Schmidt, Election and Sideways before it, The Descendants is worth the wait.
The story concerns the King family of Hawaii, minor local royalty who own a vast track of unblemished Kauai paradise. Matt King, the distracted father, must wake up fast when his risk-taking wife is in a boating accident and languishes in a coma. He struggles to understand his marriage, his daughters and himself as he learns more about what all that distraction cost him.
Oscar nominee George Clooney turns in yet another gritty, ego-less performance, managing to set aside his beauty and charisma to let Matt’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities shine through. The other actors are equally good, especially Shailene Woodley as the troubled teen daughter and Judy Greer as a woman who Matt shares some pain with.
As with the struggling characters in his other films, Payne spares no one, nor does he judge them too harshly. He lets the human frailty, pettiness and love play out in good time, not settling on easy answers or outcomes. The movie is full of little moments; small unspoken hurts, barely-spoken yearning, quiet and abiding love. You find yourself wanting to spend more time with the King family, to check up on them in a year or so and see how they’re doing. This is the mark of a fully-realized film.
Of the Oscar nominated movies this year, I’ve only seen The Artist and I loved it. Either of these movies could win and it would be fine with me.

I was having serious issues with the my old fractal site (www.palmpage.com/apop) because of the large number of images and flames in the single folder and the large number of thumbnails displayed on a single page. Many browsers and FTP applications choked and things often timed out. So, I created a new one and linked to old one to it. Check out (www.palmpage.com/fractals).&nb…;
The cool thing about it is that it dynamically updates the web pages whenever I want to FTP new images to it. This allows me to set up some automatic FTP backups of my fractal folders so that any new fractals (with parameters embedded) are backed up to the web site on a regular basis, the parameters are safe from people who don't have a login (which I will give out on request), each image page has the creative commons license clearly displayed, and the web site doesn't have to be maintained.
It uses free software available for download at Sourceforge (phpgraphy.sourceforge.net/) and the folks on the help forum there at Sourceforge are very helpful in customizing the very easy setup. What you see on my site is the base install with a customized welcome message, header, and a modification to not display file names under each thumbnail. Other than that, it is right out of the box. I was initially hoping that PHPgraphy would display the embedded parameters on each image page (based on user security level), but alas it cannot read the parameters the the fractal images. I later found out that most applications and none of the web albums that I found could, so I decided to stay with PHPgraphy because it is so easy to set up and truly painless to update. I've been around long enough to realize that if it is a pain to update, updates don't get done. If anyone wants some pointers in setting this up, there are free and/or very, very cheap options to do something like this. My site, with more web space and monthly bandwidth than I could ever use, only costs $9 a month. | <urn:uuid:40b9c07f-aed5-4bec-a4dd-8beb2b16d1d5> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://djeaton3162.deviantart.com/journal/My-new-fractal-gallery-237361488 | 2014-12-21T18:39:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802772134.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075252-00023-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939702 | 439 |
I thought this was a great opportunity to get my thoughts down after having a nice relaxing weekend celebrating the completion of my CELTA course.
I wanted to write something that would hopefully put peoples minds at ease who are also new to teaching and who are starting their CELTA courses.
I started my CELTA with no teaching experience at all! I had worked for a language school as Social Organiser for a year before taking the course which I feel gave me a huge boost of confidence when standing in front of students as a teacher during the CELTA. My grammar knowledge was and still is pretty average to be honest. But the course allows you to look at grammar and you get some invaluable experience watching your peers and observing other teachers working with grammar. I learned a hell of a lot just from watching other people teach.
One important thing I learned during the course was 'eliciting'. Realising that teaching is not all about knowing everything and being some sort of English linguist for the students. It's really more about the facilitation of students, being one step ahead with the grammar and encouraging student-student learning (get answers, feedback, thoughts and ideas from the students). Once I learned this I became so settled and aimed to master this technique. (I didn't master it in 4 weeks but It's a great thing to take forward in your development)
You also learn some fantastic and important methods of teaching and class structure. We were taught the structure of skills and language classes which is now embedded into my skull (I will never forget it!). The input sessions are vital so be active, participate, ask questions and take vigorous notes. It's important to take notes in your own way, some people may learn or benefit more from taking notes all the time... others may only take notes when something sticks out. Whatever is right for you... figure it out early on. Some of my break through moments during late night homework sessions were because of one little note I took early in the week that could then be applied to my work.
It's important to realise early on that the tutors do not expect the finished product. You are in development all the time and will be for the entirety of your teaching career so don't feel pressured into thinking your not good enough. Our class had people with varied knowledge and ability, I found the people who developed most were those who took on feedback and aimed to improve lesson by lesson. This is what I believe they want to see... constant progression. You are responsible for this in a way... The tutors do pump you with knowledge and notes and areas you can improve.. but ultimately it's up to you to look at these notes when you get home and apply them into your next lesson. I made sure I did this every time I did a lesson plan. I would first look at my feedback and summarise where I needed to improve and how I was going to improve that area.
Another really beneficial aspect of the course is being criticised, understanding it, improving yourself. You will get notes, you will get slammed for something you didn't even think about or consider before your lesson. I found this difficult at first but then quickly realised the tutors are trying to help me. This is KEY! don't get pissed off with any notes... improve on them for next time. This is progression. If you come away from a feedback session with no notes for improvement or no criticism at all... you may as well quit the CELTA.
Another thing to prepare for is homework! I was up every evening until 2am doing lesson plans or assessments.. it was intense. I had to work harder than some people though because my grammar knowledge is not perfect. My class awareness is not perfect. Some people may have zipped through the first few assignments in a few hours but it took me longer! I put in hours of preparation for lessons which was always a positive part of my feedback. I recommend doing the same.
However, It's important to get some rest! I dedicated my Friday evenings to chilling out and my Saturday mornings to watching rugby on my computer until midday. Then it was BUSINESS TIME! I probably did about 4-5 hours work on Saturdays and 4-5 hours on Sundays. I preferred to take my time and spread it all out... you could probably zip through everything in a few hours but the quality may not be to standard...Depends how much you know!
One thing that was so valuable to me was my peers. I had a wonderful teaching group and we supported each other immensely throughout the course. I think our entire group was very friendly and everyone got on. during input sessions I think it's important to ask questions... some people weren't so vocal but perhaps that was better for them just to listen and take notes. But the important thing for me was 'I paid over a grand for this course... I want to get the most out of it'. I asked questions and got involved as much as possible during input sessions, which really benefited my understanding of things and my personal gain. The tutors are WISE so ask them stuff because in 4 weeks they will be gone.. NOW YOUR ON YOUR OWN!
Another thing to not get disheartened about is your lesson grades. I was lucky to receive a few above standards for my lessons, but I also received a few standard grades. Getting an above standard grade gets harder as the course progresses, the bar is being raised every day. The important thing for me was to try and address my feedback issues with every lesson, which I achieved. I think if someone gets a few above standard grades they can get shaken or upset by receiving a standard grade... but look at that positively. It's giving you a chance to improve or take something away that you can work on.
One last important thing to mention is looking for work. I love being prepared, so I took it upon myself to apply for jobs even before the course started. Get looking on the internet and start applying. There are lots of jobs out there for CELTA trained teachers so LOOK! Get your CV updated and looking fresh and sell yourself. I was offered a number of positions but have settled on an opportunity in Spain as my first teaching contract for a year!
Overall my experience on the CELTA was amazing! I could not recommend it enough! don't get put off because of your grammar knowledge or lack of experience!! I went in with very little knowledge about teaching, no experience teaching and very little grammar knowledge and I achieved a B grade!
Enjoy your course!! | <urn:uuid:8294b13b-dde3-4d9d-8e88-0dcae5947d60> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://eflforbeginners.blogspot.com/ | 2018-12-15T04:11:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376826715.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20181215035757-20181215061757-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.984372 | 1,333 |
Schools are under a lot of pressure today to keep students safe, educated, and well-rounded. This is a tall order when you are overseeing schools, but there are helpful tools that can make your job easier. One tool you should not overlook is custom lanyards. This product can help school administrators with safety, education, and fun.
One of the top concerns for parents and educators alike today is school safety. One simple way to increase a school’s safety is to have students wear lanyards with I.D. badges that can easily be seen. Custom Lanyards make it easy to enforce wearing I.D. badges as a mandatory part of the dress code. It’s easy to quickly see anyone who isn’t supposed to be on campus. You can customize lanyards with your school mascot or other items to make them more attractive to students.
In an emergency when a student can’t communicate well enough to be helpful, a lanyard with identification can be a great asset. This helps administrators to know a student’s name to look up their records, medical history or designated emergency contacts. Having it all spelled correctly on the name tag makes the entire process faster too.
While lanyards can’t directly help students improve their math grades, they can help teachers and administrators keep students where they need to be. It is easier to spot a student who is not where they are supposed to be. This can help administrators direct students back to their correct classrooms and areas so that they don’t miss any learning opportunities. That, in turn, can help improve grades.
The key to a well-rounded education is making sure that academics aren’t the only emphasis in school. Promoting school spirit, offering enriching activities, and encouraging students to be creative are all components of making school a fun experience. You can create custom lanyards that emphasize all these areas. Just a few things you can do to customize school lanyards are:
Custom production means you can change up your school’s lanyards every year. Involve the student council to create fun new designs that emphasize school goals or a theme for the year.
Lanyards are a versatile tool for educators and school administrators, They are easy to order in bulk, include free artwork, and free shipping, so the cost doesn’t have to strain the school budget. This tool might be simple, but it can have a big impact on helping students and schools.

Paranasal sinuses (maxillary sinus, sphenoidal sinus, ethmoidal sinus and frontal sinus) are small hollow spaces around the nose that are lined with the mucus secreting cells. Carcinoma of the paranasal sinus is a squamous cell carcinoma. It usually affects above 40 years of age. Carcinoma of the paranasal sinus is more common in men as compared to women. Exposure to dust is one of the major risk factors of carcinoma of the paranasal sinus.
Carcinoma of the paranasal sinus remains asymptomatic during early stages. Symptoms that usually appear in advanced stages of the disease include rhinitis, sinusitis, recurrent nasal bleeding, nasal obstruction, local pain, non-healing ulcer in the nose, proptosis and swelling over the maxillary antrum or inner canthus of the eye. Carcinoma of the paranasal sinus may invade the anterior and middle cranial fossae, orbit, cheek and the oral cavity. Invasion into the orbit may lead to diplopia and other visual disturbances. Inferior invasion of the tumour may lead to toothache, whereas posterior invasion of the tumour may cause headache and the cranial nerve palsy. Involvement of the infraorbital nerve may lead to malar hyperaesthesia.
Staging of the carcinoma of the paranasal sinus is done as follows:
The diagnosis of carcinoma of the paranasal sinus is confirmed by biopsy.

JC spoke thus:
jcsuperstar wrote:its not just the 8fp but also the 4 truths that require faith, i mean sure there is suffering, that we can all see but why is there suffering? its quite obvious that many have looked at this problem of suffering and come up with different reasons so why should one automaticly assume the buddha was right? we have to have faith that he was right about the cause of suffering, then we again have to have faith that it can in fact end, that he wasnt just unloading a bunch of BS on us and then at that stage we have to have faith that his path will work and that he wasnt just faking it... buddhism actually takes a lot of faith if you really think about it. it just doesnt ask us to have blind faith like other religions do.
I don't completely disagree, but if I was asked to justify this statement I could have a little difficulty.
I mean, basically I have accepted the proposition: "Develop sila, read dhamma, meditate, etc, and you'll eventually be liberated". And I can certainly see progress, but there is no logical way of proving that that it will lead to liberation.
Equally, a Christian might accept the proposition: "Live morally, go to church, read the Bible, meditate, etc, and you'll go to heaven". And by doing that he/she would probably also notice quite a lot of progress, since he/she would be developing many of the same things that a Buddhist would, though the meditation and "view" would be different. [And in fact, a Buddhist would say that if a Christian developed the loving-kindness values that (sensible) Christians aspire to, then he/she probably would be reborn in "heaven".

So, for the sake of argument, how would you argue that my "faith" is less "blind" than the faith of my Christian counterpart? | <urn:uuid:abb58a3c-73d2-410a-b1be-0f10485aebd2> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?p=9401 | 2014-12-17T20:48:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802764752.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075244-00081-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979614 | 438 |
City, SAPOA resume collective bargaining talks Friday
Councilman, union at odds ahead of negotiations
SAN ANTONIO – For the first time since the council elections were finalized, the city and the police union will meet to resume talks aimed at agreeing on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Less than 24 hours before the meeting, Dist. 9 Councilman Joe Krier sent an email that didn't sit well with the San Antonio Police Officers Association.
"This stalemate has been costly. It's created acrimony and is costing the City $1.2 million a month in additional health care costs, which we're incurring because the police union didn't accept the City's last, best offer. Those are tax dollars that could have gone to street repairs and hiring more police officers," Krier said.
SAPOA responded to Krier's statement with one of their own, challenging the $1.3 million spent by the city to sue the unions. Some council members have suggested the city put an end to the legal battle.
SAPOA also said it has presented six contract proposals to the city.
"SAPOA does agree with Councilman Krier that these attorney's fees are a waste of tax dollars and as such, we encourage him to join his peers in dropping the lawsuit and directing City Manager Sheryl Sculley to bargain in good faith and find a fair deal for first responders and the citizens of San Antonio," said Michael Helle, president of SAPOA.
Krier said it was time to reach a deal that is fair to the first-responders and taxpayers.
"Starting with Friday's bargaining session, let's keep working until we have a deal that is acceptable to our police officers and firefighters – and is financially sustainable, without crowding out other basic services," Krier said.
It will be the sixteenth time both sides have met since March 18, 2014.

GURNEE, Ill. -- Suburban Illinois police are asking for witnesses to speak out after an attack at Six Flags left a family hospitalized.
The Lake County News Sun reports three family members were attacked by a group of nine people – one adult and eight teens – Saturday night around 9 p.m. during Fright Fest.
Gurnee police told The Lake County News Sun the attack happened “after members of the larger group apparently cut in line and were using foul language when the family exchanged words with them.”
Police say the family, a 51-year-old man, a 50-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police say the altercation began with a discussion, and then the suspects allegedly hit the 12-year-old. The father tried to pull the attacker off his son and was knocked to the ground. Then, the group, "surrounded him and hit him with punches and kicks,” The Lake County News Sun reports.
The wife tried to help her husband and son, and was also attacked.
“It did not appear that anyone immediately came to their aid, but numerous people reached out to Six Flags employees as well as calling 911 to get them help,” police told the paper.
Police arrested the nine suspects, who range in age from 15 to 18. Police are asking for any more witnesses to contact them.
"We urge anyone with video information to come forward," Gurnee police officer Daniel Ruth said. Footage from the parks’ security cameras has been “inconclusive,” police told The Lake County News Sun.
"We believe there were more witnesses that did not come forward, and any video would be useful to the investigation," Ruth said. "We urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward and make a statement."
Six Flags Great America said in a statement to The Lake County News Sun:
"The safety of our guests and team members is our top priority and we have zero tolerance for reckless behavior. The perpetrators were taken into custody by local authorities…. This was an isolated incident and Gurnee police along with our own security personnel responded promptly." | <urn:uuid:10063f1b-8178-43dc-a9d4-cef21484d978> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.q13fox.com/news/9-arrested-after-attack-at-illinois-six-flags-leaves-family-hospitalized | 2021-03-09T05:13:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178385984.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309030723-20210309060723-00349.warc.gz | en | 0.984754 | 460 |

Massive mailing operation sends grades to 58,000
THE grades of almost 58,000 Leaving Certificate examination candidates were dispatched yesterday -- although many pupils will today check their results online.
The old-fashioned distribution network was in full swing at Athlone Mail Centre as workers sifted through thousands of white and orange parcels.
"We'll be working through the night to ensure delivery to all students first thing in the morning and we wish them all the very best of luck," said An Post's Gerry Maxwell.
The results of candidates who sat the exams are available in schools this morning and can also be accessed online and by phone from midday.
Access to the online results service is through www.examinations.ie and requires the use of the candidate's examination number and unique candidate personal identification number (PIN).
Candidates may also get their results by telephone, using their PIN and examination numbers through a touch-tone phone on 1530 719 290. (Calls cost 33c per minute, including VAT. Calls from pay phones and mobiles may cost extra.)
For callers outside the Republic of Ireland, the number is 00 353 1 6885312. (International call rates apply.)
School-based candidates who wish to appeal should do so through their school, while external candidates should follow the instructions that accompany their provisional statement of results. | <urn:uuid:153fc167-fa9d-429e-bd68-115adffda2db> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/massive-mailing-operation-sends-grades-to-58000-26762116.html | 2017-04-23T16:37:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917118713.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031158-00384-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950907 | 276 |

BEIT OMAR: Palestinian children held in Israeli military detention have been subjected to "widespread, systematic and institutionalised" abuse, a UNICEF report has found.
The common experience of many children, it found, was being aggressively woken in the middle of the night by armed soldiers and brought to an interrogation centre tied and blindfolded. Sleep-deprived and in a state of extreme fear, few are informed of their right to legal counsel, the report found.
Children have been threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member.
"The interrogation mixes intimidation, threats and physical violence, with the clear purpose of forcing the child to confess," it said.
"Children have been threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member," it said.
The report estimated 7000 minors had been detained, interrogated, prosecuted and imprisoned within the Israeli military justice system over the past 10 years — an average of two children each day.
One child, 15-year-old Sayyed Awad, awoke at 3.30am to find himself surrounded by heavily armed Israeli soldiers. They bound his wrists and blindfolded him, and hauled him out into the night as his worried family protested.
Sayyed was held at a nearby settlement and taken to Ofer Prison the next day. It was only then Israeli authorities told his parents where he was being held.
Kept in a cell with two adults, Sayyed was charged with throwing stones during a demonstration at a funeral. During his interrogation he was shackled to a chair and physically abused.
"They hit me, they kicked me, they slapped my face and they hit me with their weapons," Sayyed, now 17, said.
"I tried to convince them that I was innocent but they would not believe me." His interrogators tried to persuade him to sign a document written in Hebrew – a language he cannot read.
?He was sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of 2000 shekels.
UNICEF said it found no evidence of any detainees being "accompanied by a lawyer or family member during the interrogation" and they were "rarely informed of their rights". Most children confessed at the end of the interrogation, signing forms in Hebrew.
"In no other country are children systematically tried by juvenile military courts that, by definition, fall short of providing the necessary guarantees to ensure respect for their rights," the report said.
UNICEF welcomed some improvement in the treatment of Palestinian children in the Israeli military system, including raising the age at which they are deemed to reach adulthood from 16 to 18.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Israel had taken part in working sessions with UNICEF "with the common goal of improving issues related to the subject matter of the report".
"Israel will study the conclusions and will work to implement them through ongoing cooperation with UNICEF."
An officer from Israel's military advocate-general, who asked not to be named, defended the system, saying some minors were involved in "security offences of the highest order", including "12-, 13-year-old children sent by terrorists in order to commit suicide attacks in Israel or within Israeli settlements."
He said it was easy for children to claim they were "coerced into confessing" by their interrogator, but this rarely happened, if ever.
Israel had made many improvements in the way minors were treated in its military justice system, he said, and one of UNICEF's key recommendations – that interrogations be recorded – was being actively considered.
Several other reports critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinian minors have been issued in the past year, including Children in Military Custody, written by a group of high-profile British judges and lawyers; Children and Youth: Soldiers' Testimonies, from the Israeli military veterans group Breaking the Silence; and Bound, Blindfolded and Convicted, from Defence of Children International. | <urn:uuid:52b5ac26-f34a-497c-86ca-16e0daa5ddbb> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.smh.com.au/world/systematic-abuse-of-palestinian-youth-unicef-20130306-2fmil | 2015-09-05T11:04:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440646242843.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827033042-00072-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98456 | 861 |

I posted installment #11 two years ago. It is time to resume.
A sub-set of my interest in RM bibliography is propaganda novels. (See this earlier post about the Sommer edition of Mr. World and Miss Church-Member) The basic thrust is that honest truth-seeker eventually finds enlightenment and along with it…if not coterminous to it…the essence of the ‘Restoration Plea’ (or comes to enlightenment on some social evil or moral problem). Variations within this theme include temperance issues and virtue in general. Clad in novel form, they advance Restoration principles before the reading public in a manner distinct from, but in content similar to, formal debates, doctrinal monographs or theological treatises. Rather than employ deliberation or formal logic, they persuade by narrative, characterization, empathy. One striking similiarity across the field is how the agonist’s name often serves as title of the book. This personalizes the main issue…you read it and become absorbed in the character’s quest. The agonist’s experience is a vehicle for argument: as the character finds her way, so too can the reader. Hopefully, this personalization results in conviction and just as you have read the book, you ‘go and do likewise.’
My interest stems from my small assemblage of these novels, pictured here:
Through a few minutes’ research I see there are many more and they have been on the bibliographers’ radar for a century. In 1906 John Waterhaus Monser issued The Literature of the Disciples, A Study (St. Louis, Christian Publishing Company). “Literature was never an art with us,” he said. “The statement of the religious idea or fact was our chief concern. To embellish it was secondary, if at all. Many of us seem to care little for balance of sentences, perspective, climax and things like these” (pp. 24-25). In his chapter on the classification of Disciples’ literature Monser editorialized almost constantly. In spite of his effort at fairness (“In classifying our leading works I have decided not to discriminate. The above caution is deemed sufficient [I omitted it since it is not entirely relevant for this post, MI]. Writers will be found representing the conservative and progressive element” p. 32) the governing criteria for his list of entries is plainly subjective:
“In the work before me, then,” he goes on, “my chief question is this: Is there ability enough in a pamphlet or book to justify its mention? If so, I shall mention it, allowing the reader of it to decide as to its value to him. True, I give a hint, here and there, but rarely, if ever, is it derogatory. Our Benjmain Franklin once said, “You do not have to gnaw into the bone of a ham to learn whether or not it is tainted.” So say I, and, so, to business” (p. 33).
Monser’s classification is neither scientific nor comprehensive, but for our purposes in this little essay it is helpful. Another quote from p. 33:
The prominent elements in religious literature are Life, Deeds, Stress, Biblical Thought, Instruction, Appeal, Narration and Meditation. Corresponding to these are Biography, History, Controversry, Exegesis, Didactics, Sermons and Addresses, Narrative and Fiction, Devotional. Under these heads we hope to embrace such literature as may present itself.
Here are Monser’s comments and entries under Narration, pp. 57-60:
NARRATION. Under this head I have decided to group two classes, that of narrative and romance. Let us begin with such writers as Durban, Willlis, Power, Bagby and Tyler. Nor must we overlook Z. T. Sweeney’s TRAVELS ROUND THE WORLD. He is interesting, even in a “Report on Fish.” Here are men who delight themselves and others by furnishing us racy letters, touched by the finger of fancy, but always well ballasted with incident. Of this sort of literatrure W. E. Garrison is quite capable, as witness his WHEELING THROUGH EUROPE. Champ Clark has a gift for personalities–biting, but bracing. Willett has given us the benefit of his visions abroad. The Editor’s Easy Chair never rocks one to sleep. F. M. Green’s articles were always read with avidity–why not now? W. F. Richardson, in his conversations, is full of good material for the pen. John S. Sweeney must be rich in reminiscence, if, at time, somewhat imaginative. It has occurred to me he might do well on a piece of fiction. But could he equal D. R. Dungan or D. R. Lucas? Just a word here as to our utility of fiction in reaching the undecided mind. Who will ever know all the good done by such works as ON THE ROCK, CHANG FOO, OR ROSA GRAY? Or, take D. R. Lucas’ PAUL DARST. J. H. Stark has gained quite a reputation with his MARY ARDMORE and HUGH CARLIN. One is written to describe the test of faith; the other the triumph of truth. John Augustus Williams has produced a story of the lodge, the church and the school in ROSE EMERSON. Many of the incident in this fine work were real, and can be recalled by elderly people, who dwelt in that section of Kentucky. True, as I have said elsewhere, these books are not remarkable for artistic finish. But who cares? They are written in good, plain English, and–they have a nub to them. Judge Schofield, in his ALTAR STAIRS, shows and ability to mass his thought and still delineate character. . . . But here come the ladies, in a troop, urging their claims. First, there is Mrs. Marie Butler, with her RIVERSIDE; then Margaret Frances, with ROSE CARLETON’S REWARD; Fannie Christopher, with DUKE CHRISTOPHER and BARTOLET MILON. Mrs. M. M. B. Goodwin, who was busy year after year as a pioneer in this department, producing stories, sermons for children, poems, etc., etc. Then there was Helen A. Rains, of sainted memory, and last Mrs. Jessie Brown Pounds, hymnist, poet and story-teller. In the QUEEN’S GARDENS, a serial published in THE CHRISTIAN-EVANGELIST in November, 1902, Mrs. W. W. Wharton shows unusual strength, grace and outreach of thought. We should hear more from such writers. I have reserved for the last the children’s popular writer, J. Breckenridge Ellis, who, to my thinking, is developing more wonderfully and inexhaustibly than any of our romance writers. There are good signs about. Many young writers aree coming to the front, but who shall get there and stay? All can not hope even to be read. Frederick Harrison well says, “To organize our knowledge, to systematize our reading, to save, out of the relentless cataract of ink, the immortal thoughts of the greatest–this is a necessity, unless the produtve ingenuity of man is to lead us at last to a measureless and pathless chaos.” I should counsel, then, not to write until you have something worth saying. Obtaining this point, say it–clearly, comprehensively, classically. Then rest and feed the mind. Don’t hurry into a new venture. Fill the cask and you will have no trouble in empyting it through the bunghole. This is so much wiser than beating on an empty barrel.
Next comes Winifred Ernest Garrison, “The Literature of the Disciples of Christ” Bulletin of the Disciples Divinity House of the University of Chicago April 1923. In what he acknowledged was an imperfect attempt, Dean Garrison provided the first scientific Disciples’ bibliography. Absent of any editorialization, Garrison’s borrowed Monser’s categories, expanded them in some cases, and included a classified periodical list. Garrison published the list knowing there were gaps (he “intentionally omitted: Sunday school lesson books, books distinctly for childrten, tracts, and pamphlets. Hymn books are not included, but should be included in a revised list.”), sought advice for improvement not only in terms of content, but also arrangement. In form he listed author, title and some publication data, noting where appropriate [*] those items held by Disciples Divinity House of the University of Chicago. Also, he solicited gifts (what bibliographer wouldn’t?): “The library will be glad to receive copies especially of works which are out of print, and bound or unbound files of any of the early periodicals.”

A little over decade later Claude Elbert Spencer completed his monumental An Author Catalog of Disciples of Christ and Related Religious Groups. Canton, Missouri: Disciples of Christ historical Society, 1946. Spencer, a trained professional librarian, invested over twenty years to improve the form and content of all his predecessors. He improved it to such a degree (his entries are listed alphabetically by author and contain as full a publication account as his sources–whatever they were–afforded) that only a page-by-page search might uncover more items, and even so, without the item at hand, there is only so much that Spencer can do for us when one is searching for any particular genre.

Illustrations for "Phantastes". Recto: Phyllis and Demophoon; verso (unfinished); by Bernard Sleigh RBSA, 1872-1954. Black ink on cream paper, signed with monogram, bottom right; inscribed by the artist on a label: "Illustration to Phantastes: Vol II August, 1894," and with the artist's name and address. 15 1/4 x 22 7/16 inches, 38.8 x 56 centimetres.
Commentary by Sally Burgess and Peter Nahum
Phantastes, a Faerie Romance by George MacDonald was first published in London in 1858. Another edition, published by Chatto & Windus, appeared in 1894. Sleigh's drawing may well be connected with this edition although it was not used in the final publication. The size of the drawing and its fine detail indicates that it was intended for photographic process reproduction rather than wood engraving. Sleigh was one of the pioneers of the revival of decorative wood engraving.
These drawings, by the twenty-two year old artist, were produced at the very beginning of his career, soon after the distinctive Birmingham School style crystallised in the Birmingham Municipal School of Art and the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft.
An important article in the second volume of the Studio (1893) pointed out that the Birmingham School's style of illustration was deeply indebted to that of Burne-Jones, himself as a native of Birmingham. This inspiration can be clearly seen in the present drawings, in the frieze-like use of space and details of heads and fantastic armour in Phantastes, a Faerie Romance and in the very subject of Phyllis and Demophoon which Burne-Jones had treated twice in 1870 and 1882 (20). The drawings also reveal Sleigh's strength of design and line, probably created by his training as a wood engraver and by his study of decorative illustration techniques.

The framework, which was presented last week at the Investor Summit on Climate Risk at the U.N. was quite simple: All we need to do to offset the worst impacts of climate change is to add $1 trillion in clean energy investment per year through 2050. Is it doable?
Category: Climate & Environment
This category is climate change in relation to sustainability and CSR and how these segments effect one another. This includes how climate change has started to cause a wide range of physical effects with serious implications for investors and businesses, and how the business sector discloses climate risks and manage them.

More than a century after the “Great White Fleet” ushered in a new era of U.S. involvement in global affairs, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that Navy would demonstrate and then deploy a “Great Green Fleet” – a carrier strike group fueled by alternative energy sources. Mabus described embracing biofuels as an economic and military imperative, but is it feasible on a large scale?
After a three-month delay, the EPA has published its proposed new carbon and GHG emsissions performance standards for new power plants in the Federal Register. Staunchly opposed by coal, fossil fuel and utility industry interests, the proposed new performance standards conform with “EPA’s original factual and legal rationale for selecting CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology as the basis for the emission standards.”
We have now entered the age of the Anthropocene, where humans dominate the earth. Our collective activities are causing great changes even to the climate. Agriculture is both the most common expression of this dominance and the human activity most impacted by the changes. If agriculture is to survive in the Anthropocene, it must develop new sustainability characteristics.
Last week, the European Union joined the US and China in pushing for a limited ban on the use of appliances that rely upon hydroflurocarbons (HFC), or “super greenhouse gases.” It’s a controversial move, and one that might just encourage other countries to take stronger steps toward HFC phase-down.

In the past financial year 2018 revenues grew by 19% and earnings per share to 0.27 CHF per share. The portfolio reaches a capacity of 476 MW.
In the past financial year revenues grew by 19% to CHF 91,8 (previous year 77,1) million. Acquisitions in the wind segment Germany and the hydro segment Norway were the main contributors to this growth, combined with the contributions-in-kind of the capital increase 2018. aventron increased EBIT by 18% to CHF 28,2 (PY 23,9) million. Portfolio-growth, operating improvements and positive developments in the Euro-CHF exchange rate led to a net income of CHF 10,2 (PY 8,3) million. The earnings per share (eps) grew by 8,2% to CHF 0.27 per share, despite the dilution by the newly issued shares from the 2018 capital increase (number of shares increased from 34,1 to 43,7 million). These results once more underline the profitability of aventron’s business model.
Within one year the total assets rose to CHF 748,9 million (CHF 686,9 million). By the end of 2018 the aventron group held liquid assets totaling CHF 66,8 million (CHF 39,4 million).
The portfolio consists of 476 (PY 386) Megawatt installed capacity. The wind segment delivered 55,4% of the revenues. 30,5% stemmed from the solar PV segment and 14,1% from the hydro segment.
Proposed dividend 8,7% up
aventron would like its shareholders to participate in these positive results. The Board of Directors thus proposes to the General Meeting to increase the dividend by 8,7% to CHF 0.25 per share. The Annual General Meeting of aventron AG will take place on 11 April 2019.
Reorganisation of the board of directors
The Board of Directors of aventron AG continues to evolve. With the consolidation of aventron into the EBM Group, the representations on the Board of Directors of aventron are adapted to the management structures of the controlling majority. Cédric Christmann (VRP), George Coelho and Werner Ulmer are no longer available for election. Conrad Ammann, Daniel von Moltke and Nicolas Wyss will now be proposed for election at the Annual General Meeting. Conrad Ammann is proposed as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Beat Huber as Chairman of the Audit and Compensation Committee, subject to their election to the Board of Directors.
Forecast revenues 2019 to reach 100 million swiss francs
For the financial year of 2019 the management is expecting a revenue increase of 11% to around CHF 102 million, assuming average weather conditions and a stable Euro, with a strong EBIT-margin of about 30%. Considering its existing pipeline for the 18 months the company assumes that it will reach its 600 MW target by 2020. In the medium term aventron is aiming at a portfolio size of 1’000 MW (1 GW).

Tim, I'm glad you brought this up because I wanted to put a note in to this effect. I paraphrased these only by rearranging the words and replacing words with others here and there. (As you said, it is necessary because of copyright issues.) But the length of these is almost exactly equal to the length in the magazine. In other words, I did the summary sentence by sentence. They are vague because of Corday, not because they are summarized.

Good News: Tunisia Facebook Activist Jabeur Mejri is free
UPDATE: APRIL 22, 2014
Jabeur Mejri was unfortunately re:arrested on Friday 18 April and is held in Mahdia Prison after he argued with a court official.
29-year-old Jabeur Mejri, a prisoner of conscience held for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of opinion and expression in Tunisia, was released last night. Jabeur spent two years in prison, out of his 7.5 year conviction, for publishing online articles and cartoons deemed offensive to Islam.
Jabeur Mejri’s case was adopted into Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights campaign on 10 December, 2013. During Write for Rights, Amnesty International members in more than 80 countries wrote almost two million letters, tweets and texts. The letters aim to save lives, stop torture, free prisoners of conscience and show solidarity for nine international cases including Jabeur. Online initiatives were also used to promoted Jabeur’s case, AI Tunisia launched a Facebook and Twitter campaign for Jabeur's release and AI Canada gather thousands of signatures through an online petition.
Jabeur Mejri was unjustly sentenced to 7.5 years for Facebook posts that criticized Islam, a punishment that is both harsh in execution and unfathomable in thinking. The freedom to believe and say what we feel is a human right that must be protected everywhere.
Jabeur logged onto Facebook during the first day or two of March 2012. He posted a picture of the prophet Mohamed and published articles critical of Islam.
Punishment was quick. Lawyers saw the posts and filed a complaint. Police officers arrested Jabeur Mejri on 5 March 2012. Authorities charged him with “harming or insulting others through public telecommunication networks”, “attacking sacred values through actions or words” and “undermining public morals”. By the end of March, he had begun serving a sentence of seven-and-a-half years in Mahdia prison.
International human rights law protects the act of expressing ideas that some people think are offensive. The ability to criticize religious and other beliefs and ideas is a vital component of the right to freedom of expression. While Jabeur Mejri’s posts may have offended some Muslims, they non-violently reflected his views.
Amnesty International Tunisia celebrates
International Human Rights Day
A presidential pardon, was announced for Jabeur Mejri on 19 February 2014 but remained in detention due to a previous arrest warrant. Finally, on the evening of 4 March 2014 was approved by the Court of Appeal in Monastir and was released.
“Jabeur Mejri’s release is a huge relief for his family and a victory for all the activists who have campaigned on his behalf across the globe. Putting him behind bars for two years for the images he posted online was a travesty that risked crushing all hope of genuine progress on freedom of expression in post-Ben Ali Tunisia,” said Philip Luther, Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.
Jabeur Mejri is the third release from 2013’s Write for Rights cases, demonstrating the significant impact writing letters can make. | <urn:uuid:46c0465d-b3ca-45f7-b558-c4c5088cd49e> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.amnesty.ca/our-work/good-news/good-news-tunisia-facebook-activist-jabeur-mejri-is-free | 2014-11-27T16:58:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931008919.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155648-00225-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9578 | 672 |

I took the blind dog to daycare yesterday because I knew it was coming (I also had to go to work but that's beside the point). Thank God there was a Boxer for Ray to play with. As they said at the daycare "Boxers are crazy." And Ray loves crazy. He had a great time and came home energized. But after a short game of keep away he was ready for bed.
Ray slept in this morning but I knew it couldn't last. He started to get into things around 10:00. It started with my bathroom rug. He slammed open the bathroom door while I was "occupied," (I gotta get that latch fixed) grabbed it out from under my feet and backed out the door. He moved downstairs and picked up one of the shoes that was in the pile next to the front door. It was Gregg's (a used one this time - not a brand new one), which I quickly removed from his Orca teeth. Then on to the kitchen and into the trash can. I picked it up and put it in the bathroom and closed the door. Then onto the kitchen counter where he grabbed a bag of stale stollen that I had crumbled up and left on the counter briefly while I went to get birdseed before heading out to the birdfeeder. (I'm waiting to see if the few raisins that were in the stollen are going to cause him problems.)
After the stollen Gregg decided that, if we had to take Ray to the vet, he (Gregg not Ray) better get shoveling, so he headed out. I wanted to help but knew that I couldn't leave Ray alone in the house. I decided to take him for a walk in the blizzard. My dog is not a wuss.
Ray helped me get dressed for the elements. He knows that when I get dressed, (if I'm not dressing for work - don't ask me how he knows, but he does) we're going out - so he helps. He nibbles my pants, my socks, and my shoes while I'm putting them on. This time he also nibbled my long johns and mittens. I hooked him up to his leash and we went out.
We headed down the street, the wind whipped the hood off of my head and I turned my back to the wind while I snugged the strings around my neck. Ray was facing into the wind, his nose up sniffing the air, undeterred by the cold, wind, and snow. We made it down the cul-de-sac and around the corner.
The streets still haven't been plowed from the storm last week but people have SUVed it enough that Gregg and I were able to get out of the 'hood yesterday. Today the streets were invisible. Ray and I used the cars parked along the curb as breadcrumbs to show us our path. We turned the next corner, a hill was before us. Ray was pulling me along. I made him stop, and switched the leash from his training collar (a martingale collar) to his regular collar. "MUSH!" I yelled. Ray dragged me up the hill at a run. I was jogging behind him, plowing through the snow, my 10 pound boots weighing me down. "Whoa!" I yelled when we got half way up the hill. I stood trying to catch my breath. But Ray was ready to go again. "MUSH!" Ray rocketed off again. I was doing my best to keep up. He got me to the top of the hill, to the end of the street, to home. I brought him in through the garage and wiped him down with a towel, he was warm to the touch. I turned him lose in the house, gave him a marrow bone and headed outside to help Gregg finish the shoveling. I was proud of my hound and knew that if Ray had just a bit more fur (and could see), he would have made a GREAT sled dog. | <urn:uuid:32741731-2091-4d89-a75b-9f112f8bef90> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | http://www.raytheblinddog.com/2010/02/ray-sled-dog.html | 2022-12-05T12:29:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711016.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20221205100449-20221205130449-00350.warc.gz | en | 0.99209 | 826 |

“Justified True Belief”
It is clear that Bolt assumes the “justified, true belief” account of knowledge (JTB) in his discussion of the conditions of knowledge. This conception of knowledge is widely popular, especially among academics, and of course presuppositionalists. Bahnsen makes it clear that his apologetic assumes the JTB view of knowledge (cf. Van Til’s Apologetic: Readings & Analysis, pp. 177, 181, et al.). Bahnsen in fact tells us that “knowledge is a subcategory of belief” (p. 159). Since the JTB account assumes that knowledge is comprised of beliefs, it would be important to have a good understanding of what a “belief” is. Though it is not completely clear to me what “belief” is for Bahnsen (he characterizes it as “a positive attitude toward a proposition, meaning that one relies upon it… in guiding one’s actions,” p. 160), but he does allow that “there are many kinds of belief… and many interesting aspects of belief” (Ibid.). Beyond remarks like these, Bahnsen offers little of value in enlightening his readers as to what a belief is.
In my view, it is not the case that “knowledge is a subcategory of belief,” as if the concept ‘belief’ is broader than and includes the concept ‘knowledge’ (as the concept ‘mammal’ is broader than and includes the concept ‘dog’). Rather, belief is the degree of confidence we have in a conclusion, affirmation, assessment, estimation, judgment, etc. Bahnsen comes close to this when he says that “beliefs are held with differing degrees of confidence” (Ibid.), but on my view belief is the degree of confidence – specifically one which is less than certain. For instance, if my co-worker asks where our boss is presently, I might respond, “I believe he’s at lunch,” which is to say that I have some confidence in this supposition. Importantly, by saying “I believe” this to be the case, I am signifying that I am not certain, but that’s the best that I can offer without further input, and I’m open to correction on the matter. Note also that the measure of this degree of confidence is typically indicated by use of modifiers, especially adverbs, such as when one says he “firmly believes” or “somewhat believes” something to be the case.
Now I reject the JTB account of knowledge not only because it assumes that knowledge is comprised of beliefs, but also because it erroneously treats “beliefs” as irreducible primaries. JTB treats beliefs as if they were the fundamental building blocks used in assembling our body of knowledge, which is sorely mistaken. This aspect of the JTB account of knowledge typically seems reasonable to many thinkers because beliefs are often thought of as complete units. But in fact, they are not irreducible. On the contrary, they are composed of yet more fundamental building blocks. Bahnsen’s own characterization of belief as “a positive attitude toward a proposition” only confirms this, for propositions are also not irreducible (as I point out here), and yet, on this understanding, in order to have belief, there’d first have to be propositions toward which to have “a positive attitude.” So the propositions, which themselves are not irreducible, would have to come before one could believe in them. What’s more, he would have to have awareness (indeed, knowledge) of those propositions in order to have any attitude toward them, even if that attitude is (as Bahnsen has it) only implicitly positive.
Take for example a very simple “belief” which might typically be counted as an example of a “justified, true belief.” Let that example be “dogs eat food.” As a unit of thought, it seems complete, right? Perhaps so. But the question for our purposes here is: is it irreducible? The answer is no, it is not irreducible. Specifically, it is not conceptually irreducible, which is to say: it can be broken down into its constituent components, namely the concepts ‘dog’, ‘eat’ and ‘food’. The “belief” is in fact composed of concepts. Without these concepts, how could you form this “belief”? You couldn’t. So to have the “belief” “dogs eat food,” you need the concepts which inform that belief. As the building blocks of “beliefs,” concepts are more fundamental than “beliefs,” and need to be accounted for. Where did you get them? Or, more specifically, how did you form them? Or did you? The answers to such questions are provided by a good theory of concepts, which is ultimately what is needed if one wants to give an “account” for knowledge.
The Need for a Theory of Concepts
Now, in Bolt’s paper, he says that “It appears that beliefs are not reducible to being natural or physical things.” But as can be shown with any “belief,” it can be reduced to its constituent concepts, and concepts are a natural part of the human mind’s cognition. There’s certainly nothing supernatural about concepts. One may interject at this point, saying: “But concepts aren’t physical!” That’s fine. But this only tells us what they are not; it does not answer the question of what they are. We need a theory of concepts for this. And the Objectivist theory of concepts does have an answer for this last question: they are mental integrations, i.e., the product of a conscious process. Objectivism is fully consistent with its foundations in making this identification since it recognizes the axiom of consciousness as one of its chief fundamentals.
Bolt then writes: “Truth is the same way. Truth has no mass, charge etc.; no scientifically measurable qualities.” That’s fine, but again, this only tells us what is not the case with respect to truth. It does not tell us anything positive about truth. On the Objectivist view, truth is an aspect of conceptual awareness, specifically its contextual correspondence to the objects of awareness. Truth is a relationship between the subject of cognition and its objects that is achievable only by following the strictures of an objective method. This is in keeping not only with the fact that the knowledge, as a vast conceptual network, has a hierarchical structure (from baseline concepts, including axiomatic concepts, to ever-higher abstractions), but also with the principle of the primacy of existence: that the objects of consciousness hold metaphysical primacy over the subject of consciousness. It is this principle which underwrites obviously true generalizations like “wishing doesn’t make it so” or “believing it to be true won’t make it true.” It is the recognition that the objects of consciousness are what they are independent of anyone’s conscious activity. This is the basis of the concept ‘objectivity’, since it recognizes the primacy of the object in the subject-object relationship. (The opposite view, that the subject holds metaphysical primacy over its objects, is known as subjectivism.)
So, since truth is an aspect of concepts, to provide a full account of truth, we need a theory of concepts.
Bolt also wrote:
If you define reality as being composed of nothing other than what is physical, material, natural, whatever; then you have neither belief nor truth available for you to use in your understanding of knowledge.
Bolt’s next statement is that “you also need to have warrant if you are going to have knowledge,” by which he means: “It is not enough to just happen to believe something that turns out to be true; that is not knowledge.” There’s something extra needed. Bolt explains this with the following example:
For example, if you believe that it is snowing in Miami, and it really is, but you believe it because you had a dream that it is snowing in Miami, then you do not have warrant and also do not have knowledge. If you see that it is snowing in Miami though, then you have warrant.
The point here is that, again, we need a theory of concepts to have a full account of Bolt calls “warrant.”
Out of the Blue: Asserting Christianity
Then Bolt says a most perplexing thing:
a person who does not believe in the Christian God has no basis upon which to say that there is a real “right” or “wrong” to anything.
Also, if (as we saw above) truth presupposes the primacy of existence (that the objects of consciousness are what they are independent of conscious activity), then how does believing in any god provide a “basis upon which to say that there is a real ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to anything”? Bolt does not explain, but what does he ultimately have in this regard other than “believing make it so”? And what if there is no god, does one need to still believe in one in order to have a “basis upon which to say that there is a real ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to anything”? If so, then essentially he is saying that the concepts “right” and “wrong” have no objective relationship to reality, and therefore there’s nothing about “right” and “wrong” for the human mind to discover in reality through an objective process, which is why “right” and “wrong” need to be “revealed” by a supernatural being. This explains why Christian apologists endorse a storybook view of knowledge rather than a conceptual understanding of knowledge: examining knowledge in terms of its conceptual nature would demystify knowledge, make it understandable to the human mind, demonstrate how legitimate concepts have an objective relationship to reality so that they can be discovered by an individual thinker, and liberate him from those who seek to control him through the subterfuge of religious indoctrination.
So it is no surprise that Bolt’s examination of the conditions of knowledge is not informed by an understanding of concept theory. Such an understanding is fatal to the religious agenda of his presuppositionalism.
And notice the stolen concept here. On Bolt’s view, whether or not there is a “basis upon which to say there is a real ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to anything” depends on what one believes. So one must form his beliefs (at least those upon which such a basis supposedly depends) without the benefit of such a basis. So how could he know that his beliefs are “right” and not “wrong”? To adopt such a reversal denies the genetic roots of the concepts ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ by establishing them after the fact upon settled beliefs which could only be accepted in the absence of such concepts. The result of this is internal cognitive suffocation which deprives the believer of such a view from ever being able to objectively consider the question: “On what basis would a person believe in the Christian God?” He essentially chokes on his own reversals.
If one is truly serious about understanding the “basis upon which to say that there is a real ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ to anything,” he should be willing to acknowledge that it is in fact meta-epistemological, or more simply, available to us before we form any beliefs to begin with, rather than something which is put into place as a result of whatever beliefs a person might have. Believing one thing or another does not alter the universe or our natures.
Bolt holds that if one does not believe in the Christian god,
not only is there no room for belief and truth, but there is not room for a standard of right and wrong ways to come to believe something or to continue to believe something.
But again, if (as I have shown above) (i) beliefs are not conceptually irreducible and (ii) truth presupposes the primacy of existence (the fundamental standard of right and wrong), then clearly what Bolt says cannot be the case. Believing that something is the case (e.g., that the Christian god is real) does not make something exist that would not exist if one did not have that belief. Consciousness simply does not have such orientation to reality. Also, since there is a fundamental distinction between what is real and what is only imaginary, what we identify as preconditions of knowledge must comply with this fact. Unfortunately, Christians have been unable to explain to me how I can reliably distinguish between what they call “God” and what they are merely imagining. Christians tell me that anyone can believe in their god. What they are really saying is that anyone can imagine their god. The stories found in the bible, for instance, serve this end by providing the believers’ imagination with allegorical and narrative inputs. But that’s fantasy, not reality. To understand knowledge, we need to understand that we’re primarily talking about knowledge of reality, not of fantasy. There’s a big difference here, and if we jettison the primacy of existence, we’ll be unable to make such distinctions.
Moreover, since believing one way or another does not alter, reshape or revise reality in any way, it is incoherent to say that disbelieving in something which is accessible to the human mind only by means of imagining it, will result in having “not room for a standard of right and wrong ways to come to believe something or to continue to believe.” We already have that standard, the primacy of existence, and it is attendant from the first instance of the subject-object relationship: the objects of consciousness have metaphysical primacy over the subject of consciousness whenever the subject is conscious. To dispute, deny or trivialize this, amounts to an endorsement for subjectivism.
Bolt also wrote:
The concept of beliefs having or lacking warrant is necessary for knowledge, but the concept is inconsistent with what non-Christians want to say about the world.
Finally, Bolt claims that
Christianity allows for these three parts of knowledge without much difficulty.
Will the Real Conditions of Knowledge Please Stand Up?
As for what actually constitute the “conditions of knowledge,” I point to the following:
The axiom of existence explicitly identifies the source of objects which can be known, and the axiom of consciousness formally recognizes the faculty by which we can know anything. Without these two elements, there’s nothing to be known, and no one to know it. The primacy of existence formally acknowledges that there is a distinction between what is known (the objects of knowledge) and the conscious activity by which the subject acquires awareness of those objects. The ability to form concepts is necessary to expand the subject’s consciousness beyond awareness of merely that which is immediately perceived (e.g., the specific tree in front of you) to discriminated awareness of an unlimited range of objects as units belonging to classes of existents (e.g., trees in general). Thus I have identified as conditions of knowledge the objects of knowledge, the subject of knowledge, the relationship between the subject and its objects, and the means by which the “one-many problem” is objectively addressed (thus stealing TAG’s “thunder” right out of its hungry jaws).
1. Existence exists (the axiom of existence)
2. Consciousness exists (the axiom of consciousness)
3. Things which exist are what they are independent of conscious activity (the primacy of existence)
4. Consciousness possessing the ability to form concepts (e.g., the human mind)
No one’s specific beliefs are going to make these exist or go away. I can believe that the moon is made of green cheese, but these four factors will still obtain: objects will still exist, consciousness is still consciousness of objects, the proper relationship between subject and object is still the primacy of existence, and knowledge of reality is still conceptual in nature. In fact, notice that these four conditions would need to be in place for me to even consider the notion that the moon is made of green cheese, let alone believe it. And yet Bolt is saying that the components of knowledge mentioned above (“beliefs,” truth, “warrant”) are inconsistent with the conditions I’ve pointed out (“what non-Christians want to say about the world”)?
Clearly there are some problems on the Christian side of the fence which need to be sorted out. Good luck!

Manchester City staged an unbelievable comeback to defeat Everton 3-1 (4-3 on aggregate) in the second-leg of the Capital One Cup semifinal at Etihad Stadium.
Everton came into the contest holding a 2-1 advantage from the first leg and they looked on course for Capital One Cup final in Wembley. The visitors took an early lead when Ross Barkley sailed to the City penalty area and fired a low drive into the bottom corner, making it 3-1 on aggregate.
The away side displayed their inability to hold a lead as City hit-back minutes later. The Toffees still had the edge after Fernandinho leveled on the night midway through the first half. Sergio Aguero, who was closely watched by Everton back-four, somehow found space to smack an effort against the post in 36th minute.
After the interval, the hosts increased the pressure but Everton were surviving with some good fortune. The Argentine international Aguero missed a shot from 10 yards and David Silva headed against the post four minutes later. After missing clear opportunities, City looked desperate and frustration was growing in their dugout.
Finally the moment of joy came in 70 minute when De Bruyne netted home after Raheem Sterling ran the ball a yard over the dead-ball line. The decision to award the crucial equalizer was a huge disappointment for Roberto Martinez as the ball was clearly out of play when Sterling pulled it back.
Six minutes later, Aguero put City ahead for the first time in the tie. The Belgian international De Bruyne provided the magic, curling the ball into the middle where Aguero was waiting to flick a header into the bottom corner. The Argentine striker had impressive start to 2016 and he has returned to his best form after an injury-hit few months.
The bad news is that Kevin De Bruyne was taken off with a serious-looking knee injury after landing awkwardly. The Drongen-native De Bruyne, who came on to replace Yaya Toure, played vital role in City’s triumph as he scored within three minutes on the pitch and provided an assist for the winner.
Manchester City will face Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final on 28th of February.

This is so lame that I haven't blogged in so long. First, the keyboard wasn't working and I didn't have time to go get a new one. I was packing and cleaning like a mad woman - because - Second, we decided kind of last minute to go to Utah during the kid's fall break. I had to clean because while I was gone, my niece had her bridal shower at my house.
I have to post a few pictures of the trip, then I will feel caught up and then I can get back to my non-relevant blogging. The weather was so great, it wasn't too cold. We got to see all of Alan's grandparents and Aunts, Uncles and cousins. And I got to spend some time with my BFF Nicole.

I had applied to a few schools for Fall 2011 but got dinged by most and was on the waitlist at Tepper. Feedback from Tepper was that I need to tie in my current profile with my short term goals (transferable skills). I am seriously considering reapplying to a few of these schools and to some new ones as I am keen on joining an MBA programme by Fall 2011. My profile is as given below:
Demographics: Indian, Female, 29 years
Gmat: 740, Q49, V 42, AWA 6
Education: Undergraduate - Engineering from Visveswaraiah Inst of Technology - university rank holder, 86%
Graduate: Post graduate diploma in Business from Tier 2 MBA college in India, graduated top of class
Extra curriculars - during school and college, dance & debates, organizing college fests (all years)
Work experience: 2 years in FMCG company (sales role & marketing role). Helped launch a new & successful programme; 3 years in a B2B company in a B2C role - marketing communication and category building (3 years in advertising & marketing communication); Just promoted and started on a new role in developing the category
Community service: Been teaching kids of construction workers through an NGO
Recommendations: From senior colleagues (not immediate supervisors) at both places of work
Post MBA goals: Move to Management consulting, for the consumer goods sector - short term. Long term - leadership role in consumer goods company
Additional Info: I would be applying with my husband
Target schools: Wharton, Insead, Tuck, Kellogg
Am wondering whether I should apply to Booth too.
Am considering applying to Tepper and Darden in Round 2.
Please advise on fit for these colleges and how I could improve my candidacy. Are these stretch schools for me?
These schools look like a good fit to me. It sounds like the person who delivered your feedback from Tepper was grabbing at straws - sometimes they can't explain why one person was accepted over another. I would definitely reapply there first round because I believe your chances of acceptance (if you submit a strong application) are very good - but if you apply round 2 to CMU, I have reason to believe you will be waitlisted again as they will doubt they are among your first choices.

This e-book gathers jointly papers that current study on public regulations in Latin the USA, all of which undertake a cognitive strategy. This theoretical framework relies at the research of public coverage from a cognitive and normative viewpoint; extra particularly, throughout the thoughts of paradigm, body of reference and advocacy coalition. during this experience, the most questions posed listed below are: what paradigms have Latin American public regulations in recent times? How have the paradigms answered to the industrial and political alterations that have happened within the zone? How have they replaced over the years? The publication additionally offers a dialogue of the actors and coalitions concerned about Latin American public rules. whereas the kingdom was once the most protagonist of public motion, a few different actors, coalitions and associations have emerged in recent times, exchanging it in numerous components. who're they and who do they characterize? How do they impact the atmosphere of agendas in Latin American public coverage? What are their thoughts and their roles within the formula and implementation of public regulations? so one can solution some of these questions, the papers offered during this e-book mix conceptual dialogue and empirical research of numerous fields of public coverage akin to society, schooling, land, and indigenous and monetary coverage.

The three main coalitions that can be identified are the MALR advocate coalition, the MALR opponents and the MALR-skeptics. The market advocate coalition was led by experts from the World Bank and technocrats from the Colombian Agriculture Ministry who considered the MALR the most efficient way to distribute land. Throughout the 1990s, the World Bank promoted8 the MALR as a new mode of redistributive agrarian reform, free from the alleged inefficiency and corruption of state-led interventions,9 and coherent with the imperatives of the “second generation” of structural reform10 (Van Zyl, Kirsten and Binswanger 1995, Burki and Perry 1997, Deininger and Binswanger 1999).

Finally, a wide array of peasants’ organizations opposed the MALR, including tenants’ associations and NGOs. From the beginning, the peasants’ organizations criticized Law 160 and the MALR model (CNC 1999).

Skateboarding’s influence on streetwear isn’t exactly a secret. For decades, brands of all stripes have borrowed from the gear skaters rock. Footwear, of course, is no exception. Some of the most iconic skate shoes like the Vans Half Cab or the Supra Skytop have inspired legions of imitators. At the same time, though, they’ve subtly informed the course of street fashion as a whole. As their popularity grew, their aesthetic seemed to rub off on the clothes we wore with them.
With that in mind, we decided to take a look some of the skate shoes that had a serious impact on streetwear. Given the number of contenders, this wasn’t an easy list to compile, but we narrowed it down to 10. | <urn:uuid:05a3feea-b69b-42c4-9487-932d01fdaf78> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.complex.com/sneakers/2014/03/10-skate-shoes-that-changed-streetwear/ | 2017-04-28T05:00:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122739.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00390-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953025 | 163 |

BAYSIDE — Crouching over the table, his fingers intertwined in his competitor’s hand, Patrick Baffa is struggling to knock out his opponent during a training session at Little Bay Park.
His right arm is wrapped around a bar at the end of the table. Every muscle in his body is straining as he tries to overtake Steve Black, a longtime competitor and training partner, with his left arm.
After a few seconds, his arm falls to the table. He smiles.
"We have no ego here," he says.
Every loss in training helps him better prepare for the World Armwrestling League finals on June 29 in Las Vegas, where Baffa — who works as a plumber by day — will be the only New York City athlete to compete.
He first started arm-wrestling against his dad, who introduced him to multiple sports, he said. As a teenager, he discovered he had a talent for it.
At Bayside High School, members of the football team would line up in the cafeteria to challenge him to a match.
“I would pretty much destroy them,” Baffa, 33, said.
He started competing in tournaments, including one on top of the World Trade Center in 2000, winning medals across the tri-state area.
WATCH BAFFA TRAIN AND DISCUSS ARM-WRESTLING
“Any tournament we went to, we would just shred it,” his best friend and sometime rival, Edwin Safarian, 34, said.
The two met in high school, where Safarian had been the reigning king of the cafeteria arm-wrestlers before Baffa came along.
“I had never lost an arm wrestling match in my whole life until the moment I met Pat,” he said.
The two started entering tournaments and beating adults across the tri-state.
After a few years, they realized the limits of arm wrestling as an underground sport.
“I didn’t see the sport going anywhere,” Baffa said. He stopped wrestling a few years later, focusing on his plumbing business
Arm wrestling can be a “rich man’s hobby," Black said.
“You get to the top of this dream you’re trying to build, but the money isn’t there,” he said, calling himself a “closet athlete” because of the intense training that goes into it — without the same level of respect as other sports.
But in recent years, there’s been a resurgence in arm-wrestling, particularly with the creation of the Chicago-based World Arm Wrestling League, Baffa said.
In 2014, both he and Black appeared on the reality show “Game of Arms,” which aired on AMC.
Although it only lasted one season, it “spurred me to get back into the sport,” Baffa said.
He started training again — working on his grip, doing weighted pull-ups with 90 to 130 lb weights, and getting lots of "table time" with other wrestlers. It's there he can work on strategy and technique, right hooks and pulls, that prepare him better than weight training.
He cut his weight down to 165 lbs, where he’s currently ranked 24th in the WAL. He competed in tournaments around the country to qualify for the finals.
The league has grown every year, which is promising to him, he said.
“The payouts have gone way up,” Baffa said. “It used to be a trophy — now it’s $10,000 to $20,000.”
He’ll compete this year with his left arm, despite training most of his life with his right. While both arms are equally strong, there are different skills and techniques for each arm, he said.
Baffa can’t explain how or why, but his left arm started performing better in matches.
Then, while sitting in a bar in the East Village one day, talking about the sport with other patrons, he spotted a sign above the bar: “When nothing is going right, go left.”
“This is absurd,” he thought, feeling that the universe was speaking to him. But it got him to Las Vegas.
Now his arm-wrestling crew in New York is rooting for him to win it all — and for the sport to keep growing. The ultimate dream for many is for arm-wrestling to be an Olympic sport.
“I live vicariously through Pat,” said Safarian, who stopped competing to focus on his family. “When I see him succeeding, I love it.”
Baffa would love if younger athletes could have more incentives to take up the sport — even college scholarships for it.
“[Arm-wrestling] has a very barroom mentality, but there’s a lot of physics involved here, and it should be more respected than it is,” he said.
For now, he’s feeling good about his chances in the finals.
“I’m not looking to go down without a very serious fight.”

ACC women beat Hawks for home win
The Alpena Community College women’s basketball team was finally rewarded for its hard work on Saturday.
Shelby Seaver scored 23 points, Dakota Prevo added 21 and the Lumberjacks played one of their best games of the season en route to a 77-65 over Henry Ford at Park Arena.
The win was ACC’s first win in nearly three weeks and second overall on the season.
In a game where emotions ran high at times, the Lumberjacks (2-16) kept their cool and turned in one of their best efforts of the year, making key shots when they needed to, sinking free throws and limiting their turnovers.
“Turnovers have been an issue in the past and (today) we had more control with the ball,” Prevo said. “That’s what helped put us over the edge tonight; having that key basket, that certain moment really put us over the edge and gave us that extra boost of adrenaline to keep pushing.”
After going back and forth with the Hawks early in the third quarter, ACC took the lead for good after a three-pointer from Prevo. Henry Ford cut ACC’s lead to one two different times in the third quarter and got to within five points of the lead four different times in the fourth quarter.
Henry Ford got close, but at the end of the game ACC was left standing as the victor.
It was a welcome relief for the Lumberjacks, who have been on the other side of that equation too many times for their liking this season.
“It was a long time coming. We’ve been working really hard this season and we needed this one bad,” Prevo said. “That’s the hardest part of the game is getting over that hump. We’ve been on a losing streak lately, so having this really good win with the team working hard and feeding off each other is really helpful.”
A three-pointer from Mariah Mitchell made it 61-57 with 3:05 to play, but the Lumberjacks responded with a six-point burst that pushed the lead to 10. ACC cashed in at the free throw line, especially in the second half as the Hawks were dealt a handful of technical fouls.
Mitchell’s apparent celebration after her three-pointer resulted in a tech and the Hawks were whistled for another just 20 seconds later. Henry Ford was whistled for another one with just six seconds to play as emotions continued to run high as the game wound down to the final minutes.
“It was kind of hard to (keep cool) with all the techs, but Coach (Bobby Allen) kept us focused and (kept) our heads in the game,” Prevo said.
ACC went 22-for-30 from the charity stripe in the victory. Henry Ford went 6-for-9 at the line in the first half, but struggled in the second half and finished 11-for-26.
Mitchell led the Hawks with 21 points and Michelle Vaughn added 11.
In addition to big games from Seaver and Prevo, the Lumberjacks got 15 points from Taylor Livingston, seven from Kyra Feighner and five from Brooke Nguyen.
The Lumberjacks led by as many nine in the first half, but the Hawks’ strategy of drawing contact and getting to the line worked well. ACC was limited to one basket in the final 2:34 of the first half and the Hawks took the lead at halftime after Taylor Robinson hit a step-back jumper with 19 seconds left, giving the Hawks a 34-32 lead.
ACC quickly took the lead back in the third quarter, but the lead changed five times in the first six minutes. Prevo’s triple put ACC ahead for good, but the Lumberjacks made several key buckets down the stretch to stay ahead.
With Henry Ford trailing by one later in the period, Abby Larsen hit a jumper from the free throw line over a defender. Then with Henry Ford getting close again early in the fourth quarter, Prevo drove the baseline for a reverse layup, extending ACC’s lead to six.
ACC plays at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at St. Clair.

Bulgaria to judge on CEZ licence after April
SOFIA Feb 20 (Reuters) - Czech utility CEZ evaded public procurement laws that boosted its spending in Bulgaria and that is the main reason for planning to strip its power distribution licences in the Balkan country, the regulator said on Wednesday.
The State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission will now give a week for CEZ to comment on the process before holding an open hearing on April 16, said Andon Rokov, a member of the energy regulator.
"The process has only started and if the commission is convinced the breaches are reparable and CEZ agrees to comply with regulations, they may also not be revoked," he told reporters. "They however will be revoked if the breaches cannot be repaired."

When it comes to iTunes and video streaming, the Apple service is often overlooked by iDevice owners because it is always there – no app is downloaded, no service subscribed. It is that ubiquity that appears to have garnered iTunes high customer service satisfaction when it comes to streaming video.
However, right on its heels are traditional streaming video operators, such as HBO Go and Netflix. But are we comparing apples to oranges, since iTunes doesn’t stream content in real-time on computers, giving consumers the false impression of superiority…
The survey of consumers by ForeSee found that its panel rated iTunes 80, while HBO Go and Netflix both rated 79. That slight lead was enough to get the Apple press foaming at the mouth. Little noted in reviews is that consumers rated iTunes highly because of its lack of glitches during the streaming.
Here is how a press release frames the issue:
Users want fast page loads and are dissatisfied when error messages or playback issues occur. iTunes’ position on top makes sense, given that it bypasses these performance issues. The study finds that performance is the main driver of satisfaction for streaming websites and apps.
Apple bypasses the issue of page speed and streaming errors by requiring you to first download the movie or TV episode from their server to your computer.
Then the complete video is displayed (unless accessed from your Apple TV).
By contrast, Netflix and others take the riskier path directly streaming the video directly from their server. Apple’s method counts on you overlooking the download time in exchange for nearly flawless playback. True streaming services want your movie to begin seconds after hitting the “Play” button despite the possibility a playback glitch might happen.
Despite the two vastly different “streaming” models, headlines blare that Apple’s iTunes beats the stuffing out of giants like Netflix.
While I’m as happy to declare the superiority of Apple as anyone, I think we need to be straight with our readers. Saying Apple’s iTunes handily wins in the streaming category bends the truth to the point of a pretzel-like shape.
At some point, there needs to be a balance between simple click-bait and the facts. | <urn:uuid:52144dbf-1ca2-4eb8-84a0-aaa80654d15e> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/08/07/itunes-tops-streaming/ | 2013-12-08T16:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163066152/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131746-00072-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935927 | 451 |

I have not activated multiple language support in sitefinity, how can I set the culture for the default language/culture? | <urn:uuid:cfc938ad-ea3a-46a7-9779-d441f91a6192> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/forums/set-up-installation/culture | 2017-06-26T10:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320707.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626101322-20170626121322-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.869004 | 81 |
Frequently Asked Questions About the Interactive Practice Tests
- Why doesn't my serial number work?
Please make sure you copied and pasted the serial number correctly from your purchase confirmation page or email. Be especially careful that you do not leave an extra blank space before or after the serial number.
Additionally, make sure your serial number is still valid. Serial numbers are valid for 90 days after the first use, or 10 uses, whichever comes first.
- My Interactive Practice Test is not displaying properly on my device. What’s wrong?
You're most likely using an unsupported browser or your browser needs updating. Due to the interactivity of our practice tests, we designed them using the latest technology found in the following browsers. Please upgrade to one of them:
- Why didn’t the practice test give me a pass/fail or scaled score?
Your practice test provides you with information about the number of correct answers in each content category but will not produce a total scaled score that you can use to determine whether you will pass the actual test. This is because the practice test has not been administered in an operational setting, and the statistical information needed to determine the number of correct answers corresponding to a given scaled score is not available.
- I completed the test, but all of my answers were missing when I scored it and I cannot see the rationales for the correct answers. What happened?
One of the following issues may prevent your device from capturing and scoring your Interactive Practice Test. Unfortunately, the solution to fix the problem will cause you to lose the answers you submitted. We understand this is frustrating and recommend that you try one of the solutions below, then log back into your practice test, randomly answer a few items and score the test to see if the issue is resolved. If successful, you can close the practice test and begin again, knowing the scoring engine is working as expected.
Your Internet connection is slow or your browser may have been running for a long time (using your device’s memory), making it impossible for our scoring engine to fully run. Try clearing the history from your browser or use another browser.
How to clear browser history:
- For your interactive practice test to capture and hold your answers, you must have cookies enabled on your browser. To review and modify your security settings, please refer to your browser’s support pages.
- Your Internet connection is slow or your browser may have been running for a long time (using your device’s memory), making it impossible for our scoring engine to fully run. Try clearing the history from your browser or use another browser.
- Each time I take the Interactive Practice Test I purchased, I see the same set of questions. Why?
Each Interactive Practice Test consists of one set of test questions. Taking the same practice test more than once does not give you different test questions or change the order in which the questions are delivered.
- What counts as one of my 10 uses?
Once you click the "Start Practice Test" button within the interactive practice test, it counts as one of your 10 uses. This is true even if you don’t complete the test.
- When does my 90 day subscription begin?
Your 90 day subscription begins to count down from the date/time you first used your serial number.
- How do I print my scores or individual questions with rationales?
Your scores are not saved after you exit the practice test, so we recommend printing them if you would like to review them again. To print your scores, go to the Score Summary page and use the Print function in your Internet browser. You can use this same process to print each question with its rationale for future reference
- Why can’t I turn off the test timer?
You may hide the timer but it cannot be turned off. Our practice tests include an automatic timer that indicates the time remaining once the test begins. You can use the timer to help pace yourself. If time runs out while you are still taking the test, you have the option to continue until you reach the five-hour session time limit.
- I need assistance with using my Interactive Practice Test. Who do I contact?
You may contact our customer service team by:
- Email: email@example.com

by Denise Willson
— “Secret Garden,” Bruce Springsteen
The estate came into view and Claire inched forward, squinting to see the numbers engraved on the elaborate stone and wrought-iron entrance. She’d been here before, once, but not after dark, not so late. Stopping at the bend in the driveway, she put the car in park and eased her seat back, eyes closed.
“Hmm…” escaped her lips, the low hum vibrating in her throat. She could still feel him, smell him. She fidgeted in her seat, muscles contracting in response to the ache that threatened to devour the entire day. His deep moans echoed through her memory, her hands itched to glide over his damp skin.
She’ll let you in her mouth, if the words you say are right.
The stereo spoke the truth, every song revealing new meaning.
They’d made love before, Claire and Cameron, numerous times in fact. But this time was different. Any reservations she’d had about their relationship had been lost in lust, a connection unlike anything she’d ever experienced. Last night they’d parked overlooking the city lights and uttered words they’d never confessed.
“Mrs. Cameron Stokes,” she’d murmured in his ear, his name flowing from her tongue like liquid gold. Pulling her knees tight to his frame she sank deeper, ignoring the confines of the Porsche’s cockpit where he’d lifted her onto him. He’d stared into her eyes.
He whispered, lips wet, swollen, “I like the sound of that.”
Claire’s stomach took flight and her breath hollowed out, the musky smell of sex filling her lungs. Images she’d never allowed herself to consider danced through her peripheral vision: a lovely home, kids running through the yard.
If you pay the price, she’ll let you deep inside.
“This is why you’re late,” Claire said to her reflection, distorted with the curve of the perspiring window. She’d spent the entire day lost in her head, in the music, Cameron’s Springsteen CD set at maximum volume. At some point she’d managed to shake loose from euphoria and get some work done: see a few clients, collect a signed contract, but where the time had gone, she had no idea.
Reaching for the door handle, Claire eyed the folder on the passenger seat, the contract with the eight o’clock deadline. It loomed large, urging her to revisit the clock, the green 10:20 illuminating the dashboard. It was nice of Lou, Claire’s boss, to allow her to drop off the paperwork at his house, after hours. But she was really late.
“He’ll understand,” she muttered, leaning to peer at the six thousand square foot custom-built Tudor owned by the boss and his wife of ten years. “He knows love.”
Claire had seen them together – the boss and his wife – at the company barbecue. They’d held tight to each other, toes aligned inches from the makeshift baseball diamond, watching their son take his stance at home plate. “Hit it home, Bobby,” the boss called out before kissing the woman in his arms. Bobby lifted the child-size bat from his shoulder to stare at the script that ran the length in black marker, a smile peeling back his lips. The bat, signed by Alex Rodriquez, was Bobby’s most prized possession.
Claire pulled the keys from the ignition and stepped into the crisp September air, slamming the car door behind her. The sharp silence couldn’t drown out the music still playing in her head.
But into her secret garden, don’t think twice.
Tonight the woods swallowed the neighborhood whole, lamplights casting an eerie glow that clung to glass, not even attempting to break through the mix of fog and night. Tugging her blue cashmere sweater – the one Cameron said lights up her eyes – tight to her frame, Claire made her way up the driveway, avoiding the shadows of sports equipment left by little hands. Two steps from the limestone arched entryway she stumbled and the sound of timber skidding over stone reverberated in the mist before colliding with the first step, a popping conclusion.
An exasperated breath pushed its way past Claire’s teeth with a dramatic swoosh.
Just a kid’s baseball bat.
A rustle crept from the dark to Claire’s right and she froze, mid-step.
It happened quickly. The dog, barely visible in the lamplight, darted out of the bushes and past the porch. It sprinted across the driveway, mouth agape with two feet of honed wood. It stopped in the grass, back end up, the bat between its teeth distorting playful whimpers.
“Not a chance,” said Claire, more to herself than the dog. The papers in her hand seemed to vibrate, calling her attention.
The dog released a muffled bark and Claire took a second look at its swishing tail. Wisps of golden locks shimmered, catching light.
The dog turned and ran, stopping further down the driveway. The tinkle of wood hitting concrete rang loud in the night. The dog barked again, an invitation.
Claire’s mind flashed images of the boss’s son idolizing the bat.
“Oh, hell,” she mumbled, her Jimmy Choo’s echoing click clack click clack as she paced towards the bat.
Claire set the folder on the hood of her car, tilting her head to the left, eyes attempting to pierce the darkness. Where’d the damn dog go?
Paws stomped anxiously on soft ground.
“Drop the bat,” said Claire, jabbing a finger towards the sound.
The dog huffed, his coat catching a glimpse of lamplight while flying across the yard.
Claire’s heels sunk into early summer grass, still moist from yesterday’s torrential downpour. Long ebony hair flowed behind her. The dog crossed a small gully into the neighbor’s yard, passing under one of the contemporary lanterns that ran alongside the winding driveway, bat still held tight in his mouth.
“Stop!” Claire yelled, mid-stride.
The dog paced over another property, Claire in tow.
Claire ran across another manicured lawn, slowing only when the thump of paws seemed to fade into nothingness. Her breath beat loud, billowing.
An ominous growl – another dog, a bigger dog – cut the night, raising the hair on Claire’s arms.
The bat hit stone and rolled.
A nasty snarl ripped from behind a fence and the golden retriever she’d been chasing took off, a streak of yellow.
Claire leaned forward and picked up the bat, her labored breath catching in her throat. One hand fell to her knee to stabilize her swaying body, the other, unsteady, reached towards a vehicle hardly distinguishable in the dark.
A car alarm sounded, pounding Claire’s panic stricken head.
A series of house lamps ignited at once, illuminating everything within a twenty-foot radius, including Claire. The alarm died but her heart continued to throb in her ears. Her arm hovered around her forehead, protection from the sudden bright light.
“Who the hell –” a man grumbled from the house.
His tone sent a familiar shiver down Claire’s spine. Instinctively she rose to the voice, eyes narrowing.
She’s got a secret garden where everything you want, where everything you need, will always stay a million miles away.
Cameron Stokes stepped out from the shadows, bathrobe hanging at his sides.
Claire’s eyes opened wide, her mind struggling to digest the sight before her.
A woman called from the house, “What is it, honey?”
“Nothing,” said Cameron. His stare jumped from Claire, to the bat held tight in her fist, to his car.
“Turn off the lights,” said the woman, her voice broken with a yawn. “You’ll wake up the kids.”
Claire stood tall, strengthening her grasp on the bat. Sweat covered her palms. She followed her lover’s stare. The baseball bat’s black marker scrawl reflected in the silver gleam of his Porsche.
Hit it home, baby.

Those who have witnessed The Dancing Flamingo are always captivated. It’s not just unusual, it’s rather remarkable— considering the performer. For a child that can’t walk unassisted down a staircase (for fear of falling), I can’t explain how he manages a dance that requires so much flexibility, balance and coordination.
He starts by stretching tall. Getting so high on his toes that he looks like a ballerina. One leg suddenly bends (the knee goes higher than seems possible) and then he bounces. The dance is always paired with an electric smile and eyes that open wide and shine. The more excited he is, the higher the knee and the longer the dance. One Direction playing can set him into the routine within the first few beats of a song, and a visit from an old friend always gets him going – proving his memory is never at a loss. Anyone who has spent time with Jack since he choreographed his dance knows exactly what we’re talking about when we say, “The Dancing Flamingo”. There is no other suitable name.
On Tuesday evening, Anna arrived. As her and the Mackays (thanks for the visit and bringing her to us) pulled up the driveway, Jack was ushered from the cottage. He seemed excited, but when Anna got out of the car that leg bent higher than I’ve ever scene. And then he bounced and bounced as his sister ran up to hug him. Jack has been bouncing ever since.
Two weeks without our Banana was hard for all of us. One week at home going through the motions of real life and then a week here on beautiful Block Island. I thought that all the distractions of island living would soften the feeling that we were missing our family’s core, but it didn’t. Jack was definitely running a slower than usual and every time I mentioned Anna’s name he answered with question in his eyes.
When Anna arrived, she was full of so much love and so many stories. Outward Bound proved to be everything their web-site promised. I know that it’s time to start letting go of our girl, but our family is just too quiet without our heart. Now that she is back, I feel the blood flowing in our veins and we are ready to start our family vacation. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of our flamingo friend this summer. | <urn:uuid:5f37c7cf-d69e-463f-ae9e-017cc139cf7b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://smilesandducttape.com/2015/08/14/the-dancing-flamingo/ | 2019-06-20T21:16:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620210153-20190620232153-00289.warc.gz | en | 0.979394 | 502 |
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says holiday shoppers should use care to avoid common mistakes.
Jackley says people should check refund and return policies for restrictions and exceptions. He says people buying gift cards should check for fees and expiration dates.
The attorney general says shoppers also should review warranties, compare prices and check shipping and handling fees for items ordered by mail or on the Internet.
Jackley also says people shopping on the Internet should avoid using email links. He says those links can appear to be from a known business, when they actually are coming from a different company. | <urn:uuid:21faa7f5-d83c-4c58-9e82-10ada3dd7ea5> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.keloland.com/newsdetail.cfm?id=140671 | 2014-11-23T21:00:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400380037.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123300-00130-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951053 | 116 |
Conant's season won't end Friday night at Schaumburg, but the Cougars' three-year hold on the Mid-Suburban League South Division certainly is in jeopardy.
Conant enters the game with a 4-2 division record, one game behind Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates. If the Cougars drop two games behind the leaders with only three left, they would be hard-pressed to retain the title. Still, Conant coach Tom McCormack doesn't see the rematch with the Saxons as an end-all.
"We're taking it one game at a time," he said in all seriousness. "Obviously it's an important game. But there's a lot of basketball left. Our team seems to be headed in the right direction. We have some conference games and the state tournament ahead. A win or a loss won't be the end of the world."
This weekend is one of the more significant of the MSL season, with conference games Friday and Saturday nights. Both division races could be a little clearer after the weekend.
Schaumburg will play at Rolling Meadows (6-15, 1-5) Saturday while Conant plays host to Prospect (3-17, 1-5). Hoffman Estates is at Prospect Friday and at Elk Grove (8-10, 2-4) Saturday.
In the North, Hersey (16-3, 6-0) is at Fremd (10-8, 4-2) Friday. Saturday, the Huskies play host to Palatine (10-9, 2-4). Victories virtually would assure the Huskies the division title.
The Conant-Schaumburg game looms as the most critical of the weekend. Conant (10-9) dominated the first meeting for three quarters before holding off a fourth-quarter rally by Schaumburg (16-3). The Cougars played their game-fast-paced and full-court-while Schaumburg was not at its best without center Jack Michaels.
"These kids have pride and at one point got their enthusiasm back, stepped up and showed they could play," said Schaumburg coach Bob Williams.
"We missed Jack, and that affected us. We had missed some other kids before and done well. This time, the others didn't step up. It was a wakeup call us. We can't just show up and expect to win."
Michaels, a 6-foot-6-inch senior who averages 17.5 points, missed just that one game. He will be a force Conant must contend with in the low post. Conant also must keep an eye on 6-2 sophomore guard Mike Brown, who averages 12.3 points, and 6-1 junior Jeff Reichart, who averages 8.2.
Reichart has been out with a sprained wrist but is expected to be back at full strength. Williams was hoping to surprise everyone with the return of 6-8 Tim Thorsen. But Thorsen, recovering from knee surgery, will not be back for at least another month.
"Tim is disappointed, and so are we," said Williams. "He had worked so hard to get to where he could run normally. There just wasn't enough time. We haven't counted him out, but the fastest he could be back would be state tournament time. It would be difficult to make much of a contribution then."
Going into the final weeks of the season, Conant is playing well. Forward Dave DuBois (14.4 points) and Bill Krutsch (13.6) have been steady all season. The Cougars now have Jeff Bergman (10.8) back after missing six games with an injury.
Conant will try to force the tempo Friday as it did in December. The Cougars would like to hurry Schaumburg and keep the Saxons from playing a half-court game.
"It's two contrasting styles," said McCormack. "We're almost at opposite ends of the spectrum. It will be a matter of who can develop the game the way they want to play." | <urn:uuid:b57b19cf-7904-4b8f-8e97-34bb882123c8> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1995-02-03/sports/9502030239_1_schaumburg-cougars-drop-division-title | 2018-03-23T19:47:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648431.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323180932-20180323200932-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.974629 | 851 |
Florida Gators quarterback Tyler Murphy was 11 for 11 in the first half vs. Kentucky.
Florida came into Saturday night's game at Kentucky hoping for just a solid effort from Tyler Murphy in his first game as the starting quarterback after Jeff Driskel was lost for the season in last Saturday's 31-17 win against Tennessee with a broken leg.
What the Gators got in the first half was perfection - completing all 11 of his pass attempts for 120 yards. Murphy played so well and was so good and mounting long drives that Florida didn't punt in the opening 30 minutes and had the ball just four times - running off 31 plays and piling up 253 yards.
The Gators had the ball for almost 19 of the first 30 ... | <urn:uuid:b66b5d1e-784e-4e04-a86f-77f9d1f98c36> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20130929/SPORTS0404/309290040/Florida-Gator-notes-Murphy-perfect-first-half | 2014-10-31T07:09:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637899041.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025819-00238-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986825 | 146 |
In case you are reading this you might be in all probability utilizing a pc. To fit the display’s contents to the monitor and maximize each worker’s viewing area, set every monitor to its highest decision. Older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT). With the introduction of flat panel expertise, the diagonal measurement grew to become the actual diagonal of the seen display.
A computer monitor is an output device which displays information in pictorial kind. By 2015 most major show producers had released 3840×2160 resolution displays. Stepping as much as a UHD or 4K (3,840-by-2,one hundred sixty) monitor often means you’ll want a 27-inch or larger screen, although we’ve seen a number of 24-inch UHD models.
To put it in perspective, when a monitor reproduces colors there’s virtually always a slight difference between the displayed coloration and the colour knowledge itself. Sometimes, the usual has been one hundred twenty hertz refresh fee in gaming monitors, but Asus’ 27 inch MG279Q monitor features a 144 hertz refresh fee.

Salted chocolate banana nut muffins — need we say more!? These super fluffy, moist, vegan and gluten-free dreams take your classic banana nut muffin up a notch with flaky sea salt and melty chocolate chips.
Even better? They’re seriously simple to make thanks to our chocolate cake mix . Just 1 bowl , 7 ingredients , and 30 minutes stand in your way. Let’s go!
Inspired by our fan-favorite 1-Bowl Fudgy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins , this easier version starts with mashed banana to create a moist, egg-free muffin! Water, avocado oil, and vanilla are the only other wet ingredients. Told you they’re easy!And for the dry ingredients? Just THREE: 1) our vegan + gluten-free Chocolate Cake + Cupcake Mix , 2) chopped walnuts (because aren’t nutty muffins the BEST?!), and 3) chocolate chips (a must for any worthy chocolate muffin).
Stir it all together, add to a muffin tin, and sprinkle with extra walnuts and chocolate chips (optional, but come on…life’s too short to miss out on opportunities for more chocolate, right?).
When the muffins come out of the oven, grab your flaky salt and sprinkle while they’re still warm to help it stick a little. Then let the muffins cool before enjoying for best texture. Or if you can’t resist (we don’t blame you), just know they’ll be a bit more fudgy!
We think you’ll LOVE these muffins! They’re:
& Entirely delicious!
- 1 small-medium ripe banana (1 banana yields ~150 g mashed)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (15.5 oz.) bag Minimalist Baker Chocolate Cake + Cupcake Mix*
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts ( optional )
- 1/4 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips ( optional )
- Sprinkle of flaky sea salt
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard-size muffin tin with 12 muffin liners (as recipe is written // adjust if altering default number of servings). Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork — you want it pretty smooth. Add the water, avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined. Add cake mix and whisk well. Then fold in the chopped walnuts and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly between the muffin tins and (optionally) top with extra chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick is removed with only a few crumbs left behind. Remove the muffins from the oven and top with flaky sea salt. Let the muffins fully cool before enjoying!
- Store leftovers lightly covered for up to 2-3 days at room temperature, 5 days in the refrigerator, or 1 month in the freezer.
*If you’d like to try this recipe from scratch, we suggest using our 1-Bowl Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake recipe, adding chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and flaky salt. However, we haven’t tried it this way and can’t guarantee the result.

I am not well-acquainted with world cinema to know if Anurag Kashyap has ‘copied’ this movie (going by his record and his interviews, I believe he is an honest person when it comes to filmmaking, but that’s just my opinion), but if this movie is original (I know there are influences), then I have to say that it is one of the most courageous Bollywood movies that I have ever seen. Many years back, I used to read Mr. Kashyap’s blog (which if I’m not wrong doesn’t exist anymore) and he talked about the difficulties while making the movie. He had approached SRK for the lead role. Khan liked it, but he told Kashyap that he should be making films like these when he is ‘established’. For those who don’t know, Kashyap’s directorial debut ‘Paanch’ has still not released because the Censor Board …well, do I need to say anything about it? In short, Anurag was a nobody whose films always bombed at the box office. And yet, he made ‘No Smoking’. And it bombed. What’s interesting is that it was not critically acclaimed. I was going through the reviews and this film was basically thrashed and mocked by India’s leading critics. Well, I happened to watch the film yesterday for the first time and I am actually surprised at the negative response that this film has received. I have watched only a couple of AK movies and I’m not a fan. But I admire his courage to make movies that he believes in. ‘No Smoking’ is an unusual Bollywood movie and it takes serious guts to do something like this in India.
‘No Smoking’ is a story of a narcissistic man named K, who is OBSESSED with smoking. One day, his wife decides to leave him because his smoking habit is unbearable to her. To save his marriage, K visits a mysterious rehabilitation center, where a ‘Baba’ forces him to sign a contract. As per the contract, the person cannot smoke and if he does, then: his fingers will be cut, his family members will suffer or die, etc etc. The center keeps an eye on the person ALL THE TIME. One can’t escape it. It’s basically dictatorship. K tries to beat the center at its own game but he fails. His life becomes hell. He is so afraid that he now starts worrying about smoking. What if somebody puts a cigarette in his mouth and forces him to smoke? The center doesn’t care if the person is smoking out of his free will or not. Will K find a way to smoke? Or will his family die? The plot doesn’t tell you how interesting the film actually is. The movie actually blends reality and illusion in a way that you are not sure whether K is dreaming or experiencing things in real. There is no one answer…it is all your interpretation. And the movie can be taken as a metaphor. The film does lack coherency, but what’s sad is that critics have refused to see that Kashyap is actually trying to say something.
The film unfortunately stereotypes women into wife/girlfriend roles. The story is only and only about K. Also, John’s acting is bad in many scenes. However, he makes a lot of effort and sometimes, he surprises us and even himself. He was the only actor willing to be a part of a risky movie like this and he must be appreciated for that. He is not a good actor, but he has made some interesting choices in his career. | <urn:uuid:d96a230b-049f-4b9a-a6c2-87cdbc7f3ede> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://myexperimentswithtruths.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/no-smoking/ | 2018-07-17T03:48:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589557.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717031623-20180717051623-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.983275 | 773 |

Web hosting like the mobile phones during the initial days of discovery was a very costly affair and was limited. Thanks to cheap webhosting, carrying one’s own library is so feasible and easy via web books. One can carry their best companion without having to carry the actual weight of it. There is a wide variety to pick from across the globe, which best goes with individual taste and preference. The cost of producing and consuming a web book are one time affair and lasts a lifetime. The author is no longer required to invest a fortune towards storage or maintenance.
For a consumer too, it comes packaged with advantages of portability. It can refer it at a time most feasible to an individual.
Web books are the future of all kinds of literary works including, but not limited to academics, art and philosophy, great literature works, and most of all not to forget the science and research works. Come to think of getting the work done across countries. Moreover, inviting feedback was a costly and time-consuming affair. With the advent of cheap webhosting, it became a reality to present one’s work to the world almost effortlessly .
In some countries, we still witness kids carrying heavy loads of books while going to school while there are some countries that no longer do it and utilize the medium of cheap web hosting to their advantage
We have come of age where owing to technology advancement cheap web hosting is at our disposal whereby it is possible to communicate and share the web books with the world at large. | <urn:uuid:429b1027-da5f-4f90-a006-aff4eabe9bbc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.havelaptopwilltravel.com/web-books-and-cheap-web-hosting/ | 2022-08-09T16:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571056.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809155137-20220809185137-00773.warc.gz | en | 0.962791 | 307 |
Welcome to today’s blog Kirsten. What was the inspiration behind your book? Can you tell us a little about it?
When he was ten, my fabulous son was diagnosed with mild Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism.) When he was about sixteen, I came across a statistic which suggested that eight out of ten marriages with a child on the spectrum ended before that child was sixteen. Whilst this wasn’t at all true for the families I knew in this situation – and we were ‘almost there’! – it did get me wondering how I might have felt if I had known that statistic from the ‘get-go.’ How might I have reacted? From that ‘what if?’ moment, the idea behind Another Us was born.
How did you decide on the names for your characters and the setting for your book?
The names for my characters are just names I like. I’d love to be called Emma; everyone knows how to spell and to pronounce it – unlike my own name!
The setting for my book is a fictional town called Hambley which is suspiciously similar to my own home town of Henley on Thames. I wanted somewhere that could really be anywhere within striking distance of London but – for the purposes of the story, it needed to be big enough to have its own trampoline park!!
How long did the book take to write? How much re-writing do you do?
Another Us is the first book I’ve ever written and I must admit to making every mistake in the book. For a start, I didn’t plan at all – I just got stuck straight in and started writing. To begin with it was easy – I dashed off the first two thirds of the book in a few months – but then I ground to a sticky halt. I had no idea what was going to happen next or even what story I was trying to write. Was it parenting a child with Aspergers? Playground politics? A marriage under pressure? A journey of self-discovery? Whilst there are elements of all of these in Another Us, it was only when I worked out what the heart of the story was that I could finish the first draft. Then I started redrafting and rewriting with help from the RNA New Writers’ Scheme. Overall, I’d say the book took about three years to write and four drafts before I started submitting it to agents
What is your writing day like?
It depends! I used to fit writing around my day job and when I felt suitably inspired and so days – and even weeks – could go by without me writing a single word. Now that I am writing to a deadline, things are different of course. I try to stick to office hours but I am a terrible procrastinator and waste far too much time on Twitter. And I am at my most creative between about 5pm and 8pm for some reason if I’m cracking out a first draft, I do like to settle down with lots of tea and the radio on then. It’s harder during lockdown as my son is home from uni and my daughter’s A levels have been cancelled so we are all in the house together and fighting over the office!
When did you realise you wanted to be an author?
I wanted to be an author when I was a child and I wrote some terrible adventure stories. Then I did nothing. For decades and decades! I work in marketing and I set up my own consultancy and during one of the downturns I was complaining how quiet I was and one of my best friends called me out on it. ‘You’ve always said you wanted to write a novel,’ she said. ‘And now’s the time to get your act together and actually do it.’ That was scary, but I joined an online writing group and started writing. The first page, the first chapter …
Who were your favourite childhood authors?
I loved Lynne Reid Banks (My Darling Villain) and K. M Peyton (Flambards), Beverly Cleary (Fifteen). Looking back, all were about teenage girls coming of age and finding their place in their world – whether that world be 1970s London, 1910s Kent or 1950s California. I adored them all.

AT THIS time of year we are unfortunately used to getting bitten by midges or mosquitoes.
But there is something flying around out there that could cause pain and suffering to Loughborough residents.
It is the horsefly.
Horseflies, also known as clegs, have razor sharp jaws and can cause a very painful bite.
Unlike midge bites, it can take much longer to recover from a horsefly bite because they cut into the skin rather than pierce it, which can cause the wound to become infected.
Some people can also suffer extreme allergic reactions to horsefly bites.
So what are horseflies?
They’re large, dark-coloured flies which are around 1cm-2.5cm in size. They’re generally found near to cattle, horse stables, ponds, pools, woodlands, and grassy areas.
Don’t read too much into their name - ‘horseflies’ - because they’ll quite happily chomp on any large warm-blooded mammal, including - yep, you guessed it - people.
Only females bite because they need blood to produce eggs. They have jagged, saw-like teeth which slice open skin, then they release an anti-coagulant to stop the blood from clotting while they enjoy their meal.
How do I know if I’ve been bitten by a horsefly?
First off, you’ll know about it pretty quickly. The bites are painful and itchy.
Horsefly bites develop into large, red, itchy, swollen bumps within minutes. For most people they’re completely harmless, but they’re extremely uncomfortable.
Some people also report feeling hot, weak, nauseous or dizzy.
An infected bite can result in redness, oozing, and extreme pain. Visit your GP if you’re suffering from an infection.
In exceptional cases some people can suffer an allergic reaction with symptoms including dizziness, wheezing, difficulty breathing, a blotchy skin rash and severe swelling that may be visible in your lips or tongue.
If you suffer any of these reactions, seek medical help immediately.
What should I do if one bites me?
It’s important to keep the bite clean because if bacteria gets into the skin it can become infected. In very rare cases it can cause cellulitis, an infection of the soft tissues. It’s best to clean the wound with an antiseptic soap and warm water.
Apply an ice pack to help sooth the area and stop the itching.
Doctors normally recommend using an over-the-counter steroid cream containing hydrocortisone. Ibuprofen gel can also help ease any pain and swelling.
And it goes without saying that you should avoid scratching the bite. It won’t stop the itching and could damage the skin, increasing the risk of developing an infection. | <urn:uuid:c2c10d6a-d98e-4f72-8deb-fca342ae62d6> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.loughboroughecho.net/news/local-news/summer-weather-warning-over-horseflies-13383813 | 2022-05-17T13:51:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662517485.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517130706-20220517160706-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.945962 | 609 |

The Michigan School Psychological Clinic
offers a sliding scale, with 1-hour of psychotherapy starting at just $5. But the fact is, for some of our clients or potential clients, even $5 per week for therapy is an unmanageable financial burden.
MSP launched a Compassion Fund to support our mission to make therapy available to everyone. And we really do mean everyone, no matter what their financial situation. No insurance? Insurance with unaffordable co-pays and deductibles? No one is turned away from the MSP Clinic for an inability to pay.
All donations to the fund will support the clinic, no matter how much or little our clients can pay. And every little bit really does count. A $20 donation can provide up to four therapy sessions; small scale philanthropy works when we all give.
Help us support the people in our community who need it most. Your donation will have an immediate and positive impact on the lives of people in need who may otherwise face endless waiting lists, choosing between therapy and their next meal, or worse. | <urn:uuid:63726960-57b6-4305-8701-d10b152c98db> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://msp.edu/clinic/compassion/ | 2023-06-03T18:51:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224649302.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20230603165228-20230603195228-00607.warc.gz | en | 0.945278 | 219 |
